【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
On a rainy day, about 150 volunteers worked for eight hours to clean up Carson Creek that is near a river. About nine tons of trash was taken out from there.
“We did a good job,” said Alan Specter, the organizer of the event. “We're planning to come back here one more time, three years from now. Of course, we hope that there won't be so much trash next time.”
The trash came in all shapes, sizes, and colors: cans, bottles, bicycles, batteries, furniture, clothing, plastic bags, dolls, and even a golf bag with a full set of golf clubs (球棒).
The dirty and tiring work was done by two volunteering groups — Save the Bay and Watch the Whales. Most of the volunteers came from a local police station and a fire station. And some of them were old people who had already retired (退休).
That day, it rained a little. All of them wore boots, gloves and raincoats. They did the work along a two-mile river with over 500 big yellow trash bags everywhere.
No one found anything that cost much. A five-year-old boy found an earring which he thought might be worth a million dollars. He said he'd sell it. Then he'd donate half of the money to Watch the Whales, and use the other half to buy his favorite ice cream every day.
Many people laughed at the boy's story. However, it was easily found that the environment there did become better.
(1)What did the two volunteering groups do in Carson Creek?
A.They helped homeless animals.
B.They collected a lot of trash.
C.They found something expensive.
D.They helped a small boy achieve his dream.
(2)What do you know about the volunteers?
A.They were old and poor.
B.They liked collecting old things.
C.They hated to live near the river.
D.They were interested in volunteering.
(3)What does the underlined word “donate” mean in Chinese?
A.尋找
B.遺留
C.償還
D.捐贈
(4)Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.There was more trash when the volunteers left that day.
B.The volunteers planned to come back again after three years.
C.In fact, the earring which the small boy found cost little.
D.A lot of trash was thrown around along the two-mile river.
(5)Which may be the BEST title for the passage?
A.Rainy days
B.A boy's dream
C.Picking up so much trash
D.Doing something funny

【答案】
(1)B
(2)D
(3)D
(4)A
(5)C
【解析】這篇短文講述的是在一個雨天,一群志愿者們花費(fèi)了8個小時的時間,去河邊撿拾垃圾。他們對自己的工作感到很驕傲,還愿意以后的時間再來做這樣的好事。

(1)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文的開頭On a rainy day, about 150 volunteers worked for eight hours to clean up Carson Creek that is near a river. About nine tons of trash was taken out from there可知,這些志愿者們是去Carson Creek去撿拾垃圾。由此可知應(yīng)選B。

(2)推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第二段中“We did a good job,” said Alan Specter, the organizer of the event. “We're planning to come back here one more time, three years from now其中一名志愿者說的話可知,他們非常喜歡志愿者的工作,因此應(yīng)選D。根據(jù)短文中Most of the volunteers came from a local police station and a fire station. And some of them were old people who had already retired可知A不對;B和C兩個選項短文中沒有提到。

(3)詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線單詞所在的句子He said he'd sell it. Then he'd donate half of the money to Watch the Whales, and use the other half to buy his favorite ice cream every day可知,這個男孩用賣掉耳環(huán)剩下的一半錢他買冰淇淋吃,可知另外一半他沒有留下,是捐了出去。donate是捐贈的意思,故選D。

(4)推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第一段中About nine tons of trash was taken out from there可知,志愿者們那天撿拾了9噸的垃圾,那里的垃圾應(yīng)該是減少了,而不是更多了,故A不對,選A。根據(jù)“We're planning to come back here one more time, three years from now.、A five-year-old boy found an earring which he thought might be worth a million dollars、They did the work along a two-mile river with over 500 big yellow trash bags everywhere.可知其他三個選項都是正確的。

(5)主旨大意題。這篇短文給我們介紹的是很多志愿者們花費(fèi)了8個小時的時間,去河邊的Carson Creek撿拾垃圾,因此C選項Picking up so much trash最能概括短文的大意,故應(yīng)選C。

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,完成填空。
Train stations and airports are crowded, babies are crying, and passengers are arguing. The same story also happens during rush hours in big cities every day. When there is a crowd, people lose their tempers(脾氣)easily. What makes polite travelers suddenly forget their manners?
One of the causes is a crowded cabin(車廂). It makes you feel a distance from your sense of self. In other words, you're no longer yourself.
Tiredness also makes travelers lose their self-control. Think about all those traffic jams on the way to a train station, the long line waiting to enter the station and the busy phone calls from family, friends and workmates. When travelers finally get on the train, their patience has already run out.
Besides, a lack(缺乏)of sleep gives travelers a temper. If we are forces to get up early, many of us will act much more impatiently.
So, how can we make the world a better place when we're traveling with a big crowd? Try to improve the atmosphere(氣氛). If it's a flight, the air hostess could stand in front of the cabin, saying things like, “How many of you are going home?” or “Raise your hand if you've never been on an airplane before.”
What's more, everyone can be helpful, such as giving the person next to you a smile, offering the seat to a needy person, and saying “It's OK”if someone steps on your feet.

【題目】閱讀下面短文,并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容,在文章后小題空格里填入一個最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~注意:每個空格只填1個單詞。

In today's world, it's natural to feel tired sometimes during those long working days. Luckily, there are some things you can do to fight tiredness.

If you aren't drinking plenty of water by now, you should! But remember that juice, soft drinks and the likes aren't what you should drink if you are tired, because they are full of sugar that in fact causes you to lose much water from your body. Water is king, so make a habit to drink a glass of water whenever you feel tired. You can put a full glass of water next to you, you will remember to take a sip (啜一口) here and there throughout your activity. You'll be surprised how quickly drinking water can get rid of your tiredness.

Sometimes you feel tired because you aren't active, especially when you have to work at a computer or sit at a desk all day. Movement, any type of movement in exercise, can help you. Moving your body creates an increased blood flow which in return increases your energy and defeats (戰(zhàn)勝) tiredness. Also it makes your breath deeper and then you'll be more energetic immediately. So, all that you need to do is just get up, stretch (伸展) a little bit, or walk around if you can.

Laughing a little can also help you fight your tiredness. You don't have to laugh out loud. Simply finding something interesting is good. So start reading some jokes on the Internet, listen to some radio shows you like, or watch some funny videos on Youku. You will notice that once you start laughing, you won't be tired any more.
