【題目】 I believe that my actions show my beliefs, not my words.

I wrote a letter to my kids a few years ago. It’s three pages long, and it sums up my life experience of four decades. By the time they reach adulthood, they will have heard most of their father’s advice in that letter: live in the moment, do not attach yourself to physical things, treat others the way you would like to be treated, etc. I sealed the letter in a white envelope, and wrote instructions that nobody should open it unless something horrible happened to me.

As a police officer, I have seen life disappear in an instant. I realize that could happen to me at any time. Yet knowing that letter is there in my locker makes me more comfortable with my own death.

Every day, when I open my locker, I see the letter. It makes me aware that I should be careful at work, and show my children and the people I have connection with that I try to practice everything I have written. If that day comes and my children finally read the letter, I hope that because of my actions, they will take my written beliefs to heart and improve upon my example.

But for me, it’s not enough to write down my beliefs. I try to be the best person I can be every day-even in very difficult circumstances. I am more successful some days than others, but sometimes I curse too much. Sometimes I am cynical, unwilling to believe that people have good and honest reasons for doing something. I also get stressed and upset, yelling at my kids sometimes, and sometimes I am not as loving or as sympathetic as I should be. In fact, I am far from perfect, but I hope my children will eventually realize that perfection is an illusion. What really matters is that, instead of just writing down our beliefs, we all take action to be the best humans we can be.

【1】Which of the following can best describe the author?

A.Humorous.B.Interesting.

C.Selfless.D.Considerate.

【2】Why did the author open the locker to see the letter every day?

A.He wanted to confirm his beliefs.B.The letter served as a reminder.

C.He kept adding something new to it.D.His kids asked him to check it.

【3】Which can replace the underlined word “cynical” in the last paragraph?

A.Doubtful about others’ motivations.B.Curious about everything around.

C.Worried about his future life.D.Unsatisfied about his profession.

【4】What is the author’s understanding of life?

A.Parents should care for children.B.To become a successful father.

C.To be better today than yesterday.D.Bad guys deserve to be punished.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】A

【4】C

【解析】

這是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者由自己給孩子寫的一封信入手，給孩子們提供了一些寶貴的人生建議，并談?wù)摿俗约簩?duì)生活的認(rèn)識(shí)——真正重要的是，與其寫下我們的看法，不如采取行動(dòng)，成為最好的人。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中By the time they reach adulthood, they will have heard most of their father’s advice in that letter: live in the moment, do not attach yourself to physical things, treat others the way you would like to be treated, etc.可知到他們成年的時(shí)候，他們將會(huì)聽到父親在信中給出的大部分建議：活在當(dāng)下，不要把自己和物質(zhì)聯(lián)系在一起，己所不欲,勿施于人，等等。由此可推知，作者是個(gè)很體貼的人。故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中Every day, when I open my locker, I see the letter. It makes me aware that I should be careful at work, and show my children and the people I have connection with that I try to practice everything I have written.可知這讓我意識(shí)到，我在工作中應(yīng)該小心謹(jǐn)慎，讓我的孩子和與我有聯(lián)系的人知道，我嘗試實(shí)踐我寫的每一件事。由此可知，作者每天打開儲(chǔ)物柜看這封信是因?yàn)檫@封信起到了提醒的作用。故選B。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)后文unwilling to believe that people have good and honest reasons for doing something.可知作者不愿意相信人們有好的和誠實(shí)的理由做某件事，這說明作者懷疑別人的動(dòng)機(jī)，故劃線單詞意思為“懷疑他人的動(dòng)機(jī)”。故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中In fact, I am far from perfect, but I hope my children will eventually realize that perfection is an illusion. What really matters is that, instead of just writing down our beliefs, we all take action to be the best humans we can be.可知事實(shí)上，我遠(yuǎn)非完美，但我希望我的孩子們最終會(huì)意識(shí)到，完美是一種幻覺。真正重要的是，與其寫下我們的看法，不如采取行動(dòng)，成為最好的人。由此可推知，作者對(duì)生活的理解是今天（的自己）比昨天（的自己）更好。故選C。

本篇第4題難度最大，抓住作者的感悟是關(guān)鍵，夾敘夾議文的哲理感悟通常會(huì)體現(xiàn)在文章最后的議論部分，這是由夾敘夾議文的特點(diǎn)決定的。根據(jù)最后一段中In fact, I am far from perfect, but I hope my children will eventually realize that perfection is an illusion. What really matters is that, instead of just writing down our beliefs, we all take action to be the best humans we can be.可知事實(shí)上，我遠(yuǎn)非完美，但我希望我的孩子們最終會(huì)意識(shí)到，完美是一種幻覺。真正重要的是，與其寫下我們的看法，不如采取行動(dòng)，成為最好的人。由此可推知，作者對(duì)生活的理解是今天（的自己）比昨天（的自己）更好。故選C。

【題目】 Reducing plastic waste isn't easy because the cheap material is found in almost every household item. Now, a delicious and nutritious solution has come up to help reduce our dependence on this environmental hazard.

David Christian, the co-founder of Evoware, says the idea of creating the biodegradable (生物降解的) products came from concern at the country’s high pollution rate. Indonesia is home to four of the world's worst polluted rivers. Since single-use packaging is a large contributor to the problem, Evoware decided to deal with that first.

After investigating various materials, the company settled on seaweed. Unlike corn, commonly used for biodegradable containers, seaweed does not require resources like water or large amounts of space. Since Indonesian farmers already harvest more seaweed than they can sell, it's easy for the company to find the material.

Though they will not reveal their production process, Evoware says the seaweed packaging contains no chemicals and is safe to consume. The company has also invented single-use cups, which can break down 30 days after they're thrown away.

While replacing plastic with the seaweed products may seem appealing to most of us, it is a hard-sell in Indonesia. According to Christian, 'The awareness to reduce single-use plastic is still very low. This makes our bioplastic unnecessary.” Also a factor is the cost, which is higher than using plastic. Hopefully, Evoware will succeed in convincing Indonesians and people worldwide that switching to their products will be helpful to protecting our beautiful planet.

【1】What problem did Evoware decide to deal with first?

A.Ways to clean the four worst polluted rivers.

B.What nutritious materials for people to use.

C.How to deal with single-use packaging.

D.Means to contribute to the country's economy.

【2】Why did Evoware choose seaweed?

A.It didn't require much space and was easy to get.

B.It could be found everywhere in his country.

C.It was most commonly used for packaging.

D.It grew thickly in most of the polluted rivers.

【3】What can we infer from Christian's words?

A.Their seaweed products have won government support.

B.Sometimes it's hard to get people to reduce the use of plastics.

C.Their new products have received worldwide popularity.

D.The cost of making seaweed products will be lowered soon.

【4】What does the underlined word 'hard-sell' in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A.Something lasting long.B.Something hard to accept.

C.Something easy to get.D.Something commonly seen.

【題目】 Mercury(水星) is the closest planet to the sun. It is a planet slightly larger than the Earth’s moon. It is covered in craters. Some craters have ice in them, even though the planet is hot. Sunlight never touches some parts because of the planet’s special position. Without air, there are great temperature differences between the coldest and hottest parts. Mercury days are so long that there are big differences between temperatures on the daylight side and the night side.

Mercury was created billions of years ago, when big rocks ran into each other. After these accidents, the planet was frequently visited by meteorites (流星) for several hundred million years. There were also many volcanic eruptions. As the planet cooled, the thin, rocky outside shell reduced in diameter(直徑) by about 3 kilometers.

The Caloris Basin is one of the largest craters on Mercury. This big crater is 1, 300 kilometers wide and was formed when a large rock, about 100 kilometers across, knocked into the surface. Beethoven, another large crater, is 643 kilometers across.

The cliffs on Mercury are up to 2 kilometers high and hundreds of kilometers long. The cliffs were formed when the thin surface fell apart, as volcanic activity slowed down and Mercury became cooler.

One Mercury day lasts about 59 Earth days. Mercury takes about 88 Earth days to have a complete year, instead of the 365 days that we have on the Earth. Mercury speeds around the sun so that there are three Mercury days every two Mercury years! Mercury has a strange relationship with the Earth. Every 117 days, when Mercury is closest to the Earth, it always has the same side facing us.

Mariner 10 is the only spacecraft to visit Mercury. It made three visits to Mercury in, the 1970s, taking photos of many cliffs and craters. Although the first three visits answered many questions, they have raised others.

【1】What is the surface of Mercury like?

A.It’s generally flat.B.It’s hot everywhere.

C.It’s bright everywhere.D.It’s cold in some parts.

【2】Why did Mercury’s diameter get smaller?

A.A drop in temperature changed its size.

B.A great many meteorites ran into it.

C.It got out of shape as time passed.

D.Lots of surface rocks fell off.

【3】What do we know about Mercury?

A.One Mercury day lasts about 88 Earth days.

B.It turns around the sun faster than the Earth.

C.Six Mercury days are two Mercury years.

D.It has more cliffs than large craters.

【4】What happened after Mariner 10’s three visits to Mercury?

A.Another spacecraft visited Mercury.

B.New cliffs and craters were formed.

C.New signs of volcanic activity appeared.

D.Lots of new puzzles needed to be solved.
