【解析】
【文章大意】這是一篇說明文。世界盲人多達4千萬。為使貧富國家獲得均等的醫(yī)療知識和技術，ORBIS組織舉辦flying teaching eye hospital，并且為之做了許多貢獻。要讓這個教學機構發(fā)揮更大作用，大家都不免出一份力吧！
1.A解析：寫作意圖題 該段有三句話.連續(xù)用了三個imagine.。尤其后兩句要讀者想象一下：閉著眼睛度過余生將會怎樣；用指尖不用眼睛閱讀此文又會怎樣（imagine what it would be like spending the rest of your life with you eyes closed. Imagine having to read this page, not with your eyes but with your finger-tips.）。作者的意圖顯然要大家體會一下盲人生活，從而引起讀者閱讀下文話題的興趣。因此A選項正確。
2.C解析：細節(jié)理解題 文章第二段告訴我們，當今世界醫(yī)療知識如此豐富，醫(yī)療技巧如此發(fā)達，4千萬的盲人，2/3的不應該遭受失明的痛苦。然而醫(yī)療知識和技巧的擁有發(fā)達居多，而貧窮國家則無。顯然是醫(yī)療知識和技巧的分配不均（Unfortunately, rich countries posses most of this knowledge, while developing countries do not.）。由此可知C選項正確。
3.B 解析：細節(jié)理解題 文中第三段告訴我們，在ORBIS組織中醫(yī)生被教給使盲人恢復視力的最新技術（Doctors are taught the latest techniques of bringing sight back to people there.）；在第四段中還可知ORBIS組織通過提供為期三個星期的培訓課程來幫助發(fā)展中國家（ ORBIS tries to help developing countries by providing training during three-week medical programs.）； 該段還提到ORBIS 組織已教了三萬五千多名醫(yī)生護士相關的恢復視力技巧（ORBIS has taught sight-saving techniques to over 35,000 doctors and nurses, ）。由此得知，B選項與此意吻合。
4.A解析：主旨要義題 最后一段連續(xù)列舉了US$38/$380/ $1,300分別可以為盲人恢復視力做些什么。然后在段尾提出協(xié)助ORBIS 組織改善盲人境遇的請求。作者顯然在向讀者呼吁捐款（Please help ORBIS improve the quality of life for so many people less fortunate than ourselves.）。所以A 選項正確。
5.C解析：大意歸納題 全文先以吸引讀者關注盲人入手，然后介紹ORBIS組織運營的flying teaching eye hospital給全世界培訓醫(yī)生和護士所做出的貢獻。最后倡導大家捐款來幫助ORBIS組織運營的flying teaching eye hospital。唯有C選項符合文章大意。A選項以及B選項范疇太大，不貼切。所以C 選項正確。

Many of us invest valuable time，energy and money planning our vacations. We do this because we know for sure that going on vacations must be good for us. Research proves this feeling without a doubt. Vacations help us perform better at work, improve our sleep quality and cushion us against depression.
Yet, despite these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK - but not great. In order to change this, some mistakes should be avoided. A classic one for vacation planners is attempting to maximize value for money by planning trips that have too many components (組成部分)? Perhaps you’re planning a trip to Europe, seven cities in 10 days，and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list Sounds fine in theory, but hopping from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness - time to take in our new surroundings, time to be present and absorb our travel experiences. Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic issues such as how to find a good flight deal，how to get from A to B，or which destinations to add or subtract from our journey. These issues may seem important, but our psychological state of mind is far more important.
Actually, vacation happiness is based on the following top rules. First, choose your travel companions wisely, because nothing contributes more significantly to a trip than the right companions. Second，don’t spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to maintain a positive mood. Third, shop wisely, for meaningful experiences provide more long-term happiness than physical possessions.

Develop Better Relationships with Neighbors
Good neighbors are a lot like electricity or running water：we don’t know how much we depend on them until we don’t have them. They make our lives more pleasant and give us a sense of who we wrte, both as an individual and as a member of the community. Here is how to develop your relationships with these very important people in your life.
1. _________ Often neighbors don’t even know each other’s names. But it’s okay to be the one to break the ice , even if you’ve lived next door for years.Most neighbors enjoy making small talk with the folks on the other side of the fence. So as you see them at work in their yards, smile, wave, and say hello. Ask how their kids are (whether they’re babies or in college), whether they could use an extra cucumber from your garden, or what they think of the price at the local supermarket.
2. _________ These days, the old Welcome Wagon is a thing of the past. But your new neighbors may be feeling lonely and unsure, especially if they’re far from home, and might appreciate a friendly face bearing fresh-baked chocolate cakes. If they have kids, tell them where the children in the neighborhood live. Recommend the best places to eat and sleep. Invite them over for coffee or tea when they get settled, give them your number, and point to your house as you say good-bye.
3.__________ Return anything that you borrow from a neighbor, such as tools, in good repair and as soon as you’ve finished with them. Replace anything that belongs to your neighbor that you, your children, or your pets break or soil. Make sure that your car is not blocking their doorway. Such random acts of consideration will have your neighbors talking — and the talk will be good.
4. __________ If you value a friendship with your neighbors, spend time with them. What better way to meet your neighbors than to invite them to an informal barbecue, pool party, or holiday open house? Better yet, you might even consider throwing a get-together in their honor. Deliver the invitations in person to everyone who lives on your street and chat with each for five minutes before moving on to the next house. This way, you will get an idea of what your neighbors are like so that you can plan for appropriate food and music.
5. ___________ In a good relationship, it’s really the little things that count. Help to bring in the mail for the elderly neighbor when there is a heavy rain. When your neighbor gorgets to take in his rubbish cans, roll them back into his yard. If you’re truly concerned, you’ll know when your neighbor needs some cheering up — a bunch of flowers or a helping hand when it’s needed. All it takes to develop your relationship with neighbors is the respect for their feelings.

Nearly five years before, and with the help by our father, my sister and I planted
Some cherry tomatoes(圣女果)in our back garden. Since then for all these year we had been allowing tomatoes to self-seed where they please. As result, the plants are growing somewhere. The fruits are small in size, but juicy and taste. There are so much that we often share them with our neighbors. Although we allow tomato plants to grow in the same place year after year, but we have never had any disease or insect attack problems. We are growing wonderfully tomatoes at no cost!

閱讀下面的短文并用英語回答問題，然后將答案寫到答題卡相應的位置上（請注意問題后的字數(shù)要求）。
[1] Nowadays the cost of a new car has fallen in real terms so that it is cheaper than ever to own one, and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers. The result is overcrowding on the road system, which is one of the problems the local governments are faced with.
[2] When people travel to other towns, the problem might be relieved by getting them to park outside the town. Buses could be provided to take them into the centre. These Park and Ride projects are increasingly popular in the UK. At Southerton, for example, a council-funded project led to a 15% drop in city centre traffic over five months.
[3] What the council found, though, was that the project proved somewhat unpopular with shop owners in the area outside the centre. Many of their shops relied on passing car drivers for some of their trade. As the number of people driving past dropped, so did their incomes.
[4] Making car driving expensive is another way of ____________. Road taxes tend to mean that people use their cars less. Fining drivers who are in areas where cars have been banned can also tend to encourage them to leave their cars behind.
[5] However, one thing has to be got right for any solution to succeed. If we expect people to give up the habit of driving, we must give them an alternative they can rely on. Constant delays, unannounced changes to the timetable and sudden cancellations all discourage people from using public transport. People will only see it as a real choice if the buses and trains are on time.
1.What causes overcrowding on the road system according to Paragraph 1? (no more than 12 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________
2.What should people do when traveling to other towns according to the Park and Ride projects? (no more than 10 words)

3.Why were some shop owners unhappy about the project? (no more than 10 words)
