【題目】 Tired of seeing so much garbage along the bank of River Schie in Rotterdam Dutch artist Tommy Kleyn decided to step up and do something about it. He alone organized a cleanup of the entire bank without leaving any garbage, proving that anyone can indeed make a difference if they want to.

The challenge has attracted people in countries The people came from as far as China to respond with their own photos and stories!"

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了荷蘭藝術(shù)家托米·克萊因(Tommy Kleyn)厭倦了在鹿特丹的斯基河岸看到這么多垃圾,決定站出來做點什么。他獨自一人對河岸進(jìn)行了大掃除,沒有留下任何垃圾,這證明了只要愿意,任何人都可以有所作為。

1推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段中“And when he posted pictures of his work on Facebook, a few of his friends volunteered to join as well. In five weeks, they had a 100 meter riverbank clean and completely rubbish-free.”(當(dāng)他把自己工作的照片傳到Facebook上時,他的一些朋友也自愿加入。五周后,他們清理了100米高的河堤,使河提完全沒有了垃圾。)由此可知,他在河堤的努力開始有了成效。結(jié)合選項,故選D。

2推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段中“Kleyn's action has received great support online, and he has managed to turn it into a small movement. He has set up a Facebook page through which he challenges people to spend 30 minutes a year to fill a garbage bag with rubbish. It feels great and you'll make a big difference," he wrote. People are free to share their 'before' and 'after' pictures on the page. The challenge has attracted people in countries. The people came from as far as China to respond with their own photos and stories!"” 克萊恩的行動在網(wǎng)上得到了很大的支持,他已經(jīng)成功地把它變成了一個小運動。他建立了一個Facebook頁面,通過這個頁面,他向人們發(fā)出挑戰(zhàn),讓他們每年花30分鐘把一個垃圾袋裝滿垃圾!案杏X很好,你會有很大的不同,”他寫道!叭藗兛梢宰杂傻卦陧撁嫔戏窒硭麄儭啊汀蟆恼掌。這個挑戰(zhàn)吸引了很多國家的人甚至遠(yuǎn)自中國的人也分享他們的照片和故事!”)由此可以推斷出,Kleyn的行動影響了很多人。結(jié)合選項,故選A。

3詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中like going to a local restaurant at the lowest price.”(就像去當(dāng)?shù)匾患覂r格最低的餐館吃飯一樣)可知,劃線詞“coupon”的意思應(yīng)該類似于優(yōu)惠券。結(jié)合選項,故選C

4文章大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段“Tired of seeing so much garbage along the bank of River Schie in Rotterdam Dutch artist Tommy Kleyn decided to step up and do something about it. He alone organized a cleanup of the entire bank without leaving any garbage, proving that anyone can indeed make a difference if they want to” 荷蘭藝術(shù)家托米克萊因(Tommy Kleyn)厭倦了在鹿特丹的斯基河岸看到這么多垃圾,決定站出來做點什么。他獨自一人對河岸進(jìn)行了大掃除,沒有留下任何垃圾,這證明了只要愿意,任何人都可以有所作為。)以及分析全文可知,文章主要講述了荷蘭藝術(shù)家托米克萊因(Tommy Kleyn)一個人也可以有所作為。結(jié)合選項,故選B。

詞義猜測題是閱讀題中常見的出題形式。做這類題時,要根據(jù)詞、詞組或句子所在的語境,即上下文來判斷其意義。因此熟練掌握一些猜詞技巧是做好這類題的關(guān)鍵。比如:根據(jù)語境,根據(jù)同義關(guān)系,對比關(guān)系,因果關(guān)系等,尤其需注意熟詞生義。例如本題第3小題,根據(jù)文章最后一段中““like going to a local restaurant at the lowest price.”(就像去當(dāng)?shù)匾患覂r格最低的餐館吃飯一樣)可知,劃線詞“coupon”的意思應(yīng)該類似于“優(yōu)惠券”。結(jié)合選項,故選C。

【題目】 My first reaction was annoyance. It was Friday afternoon, and I was within an hour of finishing my work for the week. As I was leaving, a nurse brought me one more patient message. The statement read: “Mrs. Jones called to say that she has had blurred vision (視覺模糊) ever since her medical test this morning.” I smiled. Suddenly our tests were causing eye problems.

This week my patients had questioned everything. My patient with high blood pressure had stopped coming to her treatment on the advice of an Internet chat room. A woman who had a mental problem was substituting (……代替) St. John’s word for her medication. Now Mrs. Jones was imagining problems. I rolled my eyes.

My second reaction was worry. As I looked through her record, I tried to figure out why she would have blurred vision, but nothing in her record explained the new problem. She’s probably just anxious, I thought. Still, she wouldn’t have called if she had been all right. I picked up the phone.

What I next felt can only be described as delight. Before I made the call, the nurse ran in: Mrs. Jones called. Her vision is fine. Turns out she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office. The X-ray technician has been having the same problem. I let out a laugh. Mrs. Jones had been right. Her vision had been blurred. Now we know why.

Finally I felt shame. I came to realize what Mrs. Jones had taught me. I had first known she was wrong, that her anxiety had clouded her judgment. Instead, my medical training had clouded mine. Now I feel thankful that Mrs. Jones figured it out before I made a mistake about our relationship. Patients come to me for my help. They pay me to listen, diagnose, treat and talk. That suggests trust; I must remember that, and trust them too.

1I rolled my eyes because I was .

A.delightedB.angry

C.worriedD.anxious

2Why did I pick up the phone?

A.Because I was told to by a nurse.

B.Because nobody cared about Mrs. Jones.

C.Because I wanted to point out Mrs. Jones’ mistake.

D.Because I was concerned about Mrs. Jones.

3What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.I felt embarrassed and ashamed.

B.Mrs. Jones would never trust doctors any more.

C.Mrs. Jones’ worry made her less able to think clearly.

D.I had made a mistake about my relationship with Mrs. Jones.

4The purpose of writing the passage is to .

A.share a story about trust between doctors and patients

B.inform people of the importance of medical science

C.teach people how to choose a good doctor

D.persuade people to trust doctors completely

【題目】 People who live in Iceland are proud of their country and their origin. Complete independence from Denmark after World War II resulted in the country's fast development. They refuse to permit immigration(移民) though the country has a small population. Their attitude to foreigners is friendly but reserved(保守) .

The Icelanders regard themselves as one big family. Most of them earn their living by farming and people' hopes are centered on the land and its soil. Typical for rural Iceland are the isolated valley farms against mountains. Cultivated grassland stretches out from the buildings.

They mainly raise sheep and cattle. In spring, flocks of sheep are driven to mountain grassland and allowed to wander freely over the summer. When autumn puts its first mark on the mountains, the sheep are rounded up and driven down.

As in all countries where winter and darkness take up most of the year, the center of life is the home. The houses of Iceland were once built of wood, but now cement (水泥) is used in towns and stones in the countryside. During the long winters the Icelanders rarely go out of the house. When they must go out, they put raincoats over their heavy woolen overcoats and furs to keep out the damp.
