【題目】 Sometimes, you do not finish drinking your glass of water before you go to bed. 【1】

But have you ever wondered if it is still safe to drink?

“If you have clean water in a clean glass, you’re fine to drink it for a day or two,” Kellogg Schwab from the Johns Hopkins University Water Institute in the US told Time.

【2】 That’s because after about 12 hours, the carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) in the air reacts（反應(yīng)）with the water in your glass, slightly lowering its pH level.

Also, there might be more microorganisms (微生物) in your water if you leave it out overnight. Microorganisms grow more quickly at room temperature. These microorganisms can stay on your glass. 【3】 But as long as you clean your glasses very often, this will not be a problem.

In countries like the US and UK, people often drink water directly from the tap (水龍頭).【4】 Most experts say that tap water has a shelf life of six months, according to Zane Satterfield from West Virginia University, US. After six months, there is less chlorine (氯) in the water and bacteria (細(xì)菌) start to grow. You’d better not drink the water otherwise you may get sick.

【5】 Schwab said people should be careful with them. If you leave a bottle of water under the sun or in a car for a long period of time, the plastic produces a chemical called BPA. This chemical can cause heart disease and cancer.

A.What about plastic water bottles?

B.They can make you get sick more easily.

C.Is it safe for you to drink the water later?

D.But you may find that it tastes strange.

E.Some people prefer to drink water from rivers.

F.You might want to drink it the next morning.

G.This is OK—however, tap water cannot be stored for a long time.

【答案】

【1】F

【2】D

【3】B

【4】G

【5】A

【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章介紹了隔夜剩余的杯子里的水，水龍頭里的水和經(jīng)長(zhǎng)時(shí)暴曬的瓶裝水是否能夠再引用。

【1】根據(jù)上文的Sometimes, you do not finish drinking your glass of water before you go to bed. 有時(shí)，你沒(méi)有喝完你的一杯水之前，你上床睡覺(jué)。和下文的But have you ever wondered if it is still safe to drink? 但是你有沒(méi)有想過(guò)它是否仍然可以安全飲用?可知，選項(xiàng)F“你可能想第二天早上再喝。”與 上下文銜接最好。故選F。

【2】結(jié)合上文語(yǔ)境及下文的That’s because after about 12 hours, the carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) in the air reacts（反應(yīng)）with the water in your glass, slightly lowering its pH level.可知，杯子里的水在剩余長(zhǎng)時(shí)間后，水會(huì)變質(zhì)，故選項(xiàng)D“但是你可能會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)它嘗起來(lái)很奇怪”最合下文語(yǔ)境。故選D。

【3】根據(jù)上文These microorganisms can stay on your glass. 這些微生物可以留在你的玻璃上�？芍x項(xiàng)B“它們會(huì)讓你更容易生病”與上文最銜接。故選B。

【4】根據(jù)下文的Most experts say that tap water has a shelf life of six months, according to Zane Satterfield from West Virginia University, US. 美國(guó)西弗吉尼亞大學(xué)的贊恩·薩特菲爾德說(shuō)，大多數(shù)專家認(rèn)為自來(lái)水的保質(zhì)期為6個(gè)月。可知，選項(xiàng)“這是可以的，但是，自來(lái)水不能長(zhǎng)期儲(chǔ)存�！迸c下文最銜接。故選G。

【5】本段主要介紹的是瓶裝水存放在太陽(yáng)底下或者車?yán)锖荛L(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間，塑料就會(huì)產(chǎn)生一種叫做BPA的化學(xué)物質(zhì)。這種化學(xué)物質(zhì)會(huì)導(dǎo)致心臟病和癌癥。由此可知，選項(xiàng)A“塑料水瓶呢?”是最佳主題句。故選A。

【題目】Young people almost never get a good press(評(píng)論) these days. “Their outlook is centered on trashy books and films,” expressed one citizen in a letter I recently came across in the Daily Mail. It seems that people have been complaining about the young since ancient times. However, the young are probably no worse than they’ve ever been. And I think they’re better. Teenagers today are brighter, more energetic, more outgoing, and more interesting than any generation before.

The truth is, we hear plenty of bad news about youth, but we never hear about the majority. Surely they all want to be footballers or attractive models? Not a bit of it. When research company Britain-Thinks examined teenagers attitudes earlier this year, they found that the most popular goal (shared by some 70 percent) was to “have a job you love”, followed by having a university degree, owning your own home and being in a happy, long-term relationship. It tallies with another study by the Institute for Economic and Social Research, which found that what made teenagers happiest wasn’t a new smart-phone or pair of shoes, but “the simple things in life” such as close friends, going swimming and spending time with their parents.

Indeed, the more you look at the young, the more impressive they seem. They are, of course, more technologically knowledgeable and skillful than any generation before them. But the interesting thing is that they’re not merely consumers; they’re creators. Think of all those young people developing their own websites or machines.

Seventeen-year-old Nick D’Aloisio is an example. He invented a news-summary app (應(yīng)用程序)called Summly and sold it to Yahoo this year for a reported 18 million. The company offered him a job in California, but he turned it down. “I’ll be staying in London,” he explained. “I want to finish my A levels and I couldn’t really live on my own out there.”

Of course they aren’t perfect, and every generation has its fair share of bad apples. But I think our future is in safe hands.

【1】The underlined part “tallies with” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ” .

A. leads to B. focuses on

C. agrees with D. belongs to

【2】The example of the seventeen-year-old is to show that young people .

A. Are quite creative B. can find a job easily

C. can earn a living by themselves D. are homesick for their hometown

【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards the young generation?

A. Worried. B. Surprised.

C. Uninterested. D. Hopeful.

【題目】 George Washington Carver had a goal. This was to help southern farmers who needed good crops. They needed crops that didn’t hurt the soil. Carver went to Simpson College in Iowa, in which he studied for three years. Then he went to Iowa State, where he got two degrees. The college knew he was smart and wanted him to stay. So he joined the team. He was put in charge of a huge greenhouse. There he grew over 20,000 kinds of fungi（真菌），which made him famous.

Carver had many job offers. Thomas Edison offered $175,000 a year. Henry Ford tried to hire him too. Joseph Stalin invited him to the Soviet Union to help with cotton. But Carver refused all offers. Instead, he took a job at Tuskegee Institute. This was a school for African Americans. Carver was paid only $1,000 a year. But he was happy because he had goals to reach and he knew he could reach them at Tuskegee.

Carver worked at Tuskegee for 47 years. He never asked for a raise in pay. And he never received one. He worked so hard that he died in his office chair on January 4, 1943.

Carver came up with over 300 products from peanuts （花生）, all of which could have been patented (申請(qǐng)專利). He could have made millions. But he did not want to. Here is what he said, “Mr. Creator did not charge to grow the peanut. I cannot accept money for my work with it.”

Through his efforts, Carver set up a fund, for he wanted research to continue. He gave his life’s savings to it, which came to $40,000. One honor came after his death. His birthplace was made a national shrine (圣地). How surprised the modest Carver could have been!

【1】One job offer which Carver accepted was to work for ______.

A.Thomas EdisonB.Henry Ford

C.Joseph StalinD.Tuskegee Institute

【2】How much did Carver offer to the fund？

A.$1,000.B.$20,000.

C.$40,000.D.$175,000.

A.Selfless.B.Stubborn.

C.Stupid.D.Reliable.

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A.Carver preferred work to money.

B.Carver devoted his whole life to achieving his goals.

C.Carver refused many job offers that would make him rich.

D.Some scientists would rather do good than make much money.
