4.Are you concerned about the effect of the haze(霧霾) in Singapore on the health of your children?Then you should read the following passage.
"Young children,especially those with lung or heart illness,should avoid outdoor activity at PSI(Pollution Standards Index---used in Singapore) levels above 100,"says Dr Biju Thomas.
The immune system(免疫系統(tǒng)) of children is not mature.(36)AExposure to the haze can result in symptoms such as a blocked nose,dry throat,breathing difficulty,and so on.
Children who are exposed to the haze and experience any of these symptoms which are not serious should recover on their own in time if they limit their exposure to the haze.(37)CTo keep children safe during the haze in Singapore,parents should keep doors and windows closed at home.Ensure children drink plenty of pure water every day.(38)G
 The answer is that there aren't any N95 masks designed for use by children.That's because these masks are made to create a seal(密封) around the mouth and nose of the adult user so particles(顆粒) can not get in.(39)DSurgical masks may not offer enough protection from the harmful particles in the haze,which is very small (2.5 microns or less).There is usually some gap between the surgical mask and the face,through which the haze particles may easily get in.(40)FHowever,if it is necessary to take children outdoors during a haze,parents may wish to offer children's surgical mask to their children,if it brings them comfort,such as filtering out the smell from the haze.

A.So during a haze,children are especially at risk.
B.Allow children for regular travels from one building to another.
C.However,if the symptoms continue,they should ask a doctor for help.
D.The available N95 masks may not fit tightly on the face of a child.
E.So you can use a conditioner instead of opening the windows regularly.
F.So it is best to keep children indoors to protect them from the haze when the PSI is high.
G.Are N95 masks and surgical masks suitable for children?

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了霧霾的影響和個(gè)人防治霧霾的一些方法.

解答 36.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)前文"The immune system(免疫系統(tǒng)) of children is not mature",兒童的免疫系統(tǒng)是不成熟的,可以推測因果關(guān)系,因此在一次陰霾中,孩子們特別有風(fēng)險(xiǎn);故選A.
37.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)前文"which are not serious should recover on their own in time if they limit their exposure to the haze",如果他們限制暴露在煙霧中,他們沒有嚴(yán)重的癥狀,他們會在自己的時(shí)間內(nèi)恢復(fù),根據(jù)前后文轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,應(yīng)選,但是,如果癥狀繼續(xù),他們應(yīng)該向醫(yī)生尋求幫助;故選C.
38.G.推理判斷題.根據(jù)后文The answer is that there aren't any N95 masks designed for use by children可知提出疑問N95口罩和外科口罩適合兒童嗎;故選G.
39.D.推理判斷題.前一句"That's because these masks are made to create a seal(密封) around the mouth and nose of the adult user so particles(顆粒) can not get in"這些面罩是單獨(dú)針對大人設(shè)計(jì)的.故選項(xiàng)D"可買到的N95口罩可能與孩子的臉部貼合不太緊密."符合語境;故選D.
40.F.推理判斷題.根據(jù)前文There is usually some gap between the surgical mask and the face,through which the haze particles may easily get in可知最好是讓孩子在室內(nèi)保護(hù)他們免受陰霾影響;故選F.

點(diǎn)評 考察學(xué)生的推理判斷能力和聯(lián)系上下文的能力,在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.此類的填空題一定要聯(lián)系上下文,根據(jù)上下文的內(nèi)容加上自己的理解,再作出正確的判斷.

13.The tradition of birthday parties started in Europe a long time ago.It was feared that evil spirits were particularly attracted to people on their birthdays.To protect them from harm,friends and family would come to stay with the birthday person and bring good thoughts and wishes.Giving gifts brought even more good cheer to keep away from the evil spirits.This is how birthday parties began.

Japan-New clothes.The birthday child wears entirely new clothes to mark the occasion.
New Zealand-Birthday claps.After the birthday cake is lit,the happy birthday song is sung loudly and often out of tune and then the birthday person receives a clap for each year they have been alive and then one for good luck.
The United States-Cake,candles and song.A cake is made,and candles are put on top based on how old the person is.

17.Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language?
    In a recent Wall Street Journal article,technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that,within a decade or so,we'll be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with built-in microphones.That's because technological progress is extremely rapid.It's only a matter of time.Indeed,some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that they're wondering if their kids should even learn a second language.
    It's true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating"No es bueno dormir mucho"as"It's not good to sleep too much."Replacing a word with its equivalent (同義詞)in the target language is actually the"easy part"of a translator's job.But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.
    It's so difficult for computers because translation doesn't--or shouldn't--involve simply translating words,sentences or paragraphs.Rather,it's about translating meaning.And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression,humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time.
    Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression:volume,gesture,situation,and even your culture.All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.
    Therefore,we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us.If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it,how can we expect a machine to do better?Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer,undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language,a machine will never fully take our place.

51.What does the underlined word"imminent"i n Paragraph 2 probably mean?B
A.Ready.B.Approaching.C.Helpful.D.Advanced.
52.Why is it hard for computers to replace a word with its equivalent?B
A.Their data is not adequate enough.
B.The real meaning of words can vary.
C.Their accuracy needs big improvement.
D.A soul hasn't been breathed into them.
53.What view does the author hold about translation?A
A.Proper translation can be tough for humans.
B.Slight distinctions matter little in translation.
C.Some machines will interpret our world properly.
D.Culture deserves more attention than words used.
54.What is the best title for the text?D
A.An Expert's Precise Prediction
B.The Way of Translation
C.Who Will Be a Better Translator
D.Will Language Barrier Actually Fall
55.What is the author's attitude towards the modern technology?D
A.Unclear.B.Objective.C.Optimistic.D.Negative.

9.Hello.I'm Jan from Mrs.Lake's class.My class wants to work together to help the public.We think we have found a great way to do this.Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town.We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Program.This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads.We think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt a highway.
Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet.When a highway is adopted,only part of the highway is cared for by a group of p eople.The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean.Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it.The sign is put up at the side of the road.This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean.
The Adopt-a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer.Also,the government does not have to send out as many road workers.This saves money.Finally,people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people,especially teenagers like us,cleaning them up.
    We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway.If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean,please come with your parents to the meeting next week.We will meet in Mrs.Lake's room on Wednesday at 6:00 P.M.At the meeting,we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts.Then we'll try to pick an area to adopt and clean.
   I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.Remember to keep our roads clean!
4.What is the Adopt-a-Highway Program about?C
A.Giving names to the highways.
B.Drawing pictures of highways.
C.Picking up litter along the roads.
D.Putting up signs near the roads.
5.What should the students do first if they want to join the program?B
A.Pick a spot to care for.
B.Go to a meeting on Wednesday.
C.Write a letter to their parents.
D.Call Mrs.Lake next week.
6.What is the purpose of this speech?A
A.To encourage students to join the program.
B.To introduce the traffic system.
C.To show drivers how to drive safely.
D.To tell a story about adopting a highway.
7.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?D
A.Adopt-a-Pet                           
B.Volunteers on Roads
C.Ways to Protect the Environment       
D.Adopt-a-Highway Program.

14.Tu Youyou has become the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize,for her work in helping to create an anti-malaria(瘧疾) medicine.The 84-year-old's route to the honour has been anything but traditional.In China,she is being called the"three nos"winner:no medical degree,no doctorate,and she's never worked overseas.
In 1967,malaria,a then deadly disease,spread by mosquitoes was decimating Chinese soldiers fighting Americans in the jungles of northern Vietnam.A secret research unit"Mission 523"was formed to find a cure for the illness.Two years later,Tu Youyou was instructed to become the new head of"Mission 523".
"Mission523"read ancient books carefully for a long time to find historical methods of fighting malaria.When she started her search for an anti-malarial drug,more than 240,000compounds(化合物) around the world had already been tested,without any success.Finally,the team found a brief reference to one substance,sweet wormwood(青蒿),which had been used to treat malaria in China around 400AD.The team took out one active compound in wormwood,and then tested it.But nothing was effective until Tu Youyou returned to the original ancient text.After another careful reading,she changed the drug recipe one final time,heating the compound without allowing it to reach boiling point.
After the drug showed promising results in mice and monkeys,Tu Youyou volunteered to be the first human recipient of the new drug."
In any case,Tu Youyou is consistently praised for her drive and passion.One former colleague.Lianda Li,says Ms Tu is"unsociable and quite straightforward",adding that"if she disagrees with something,she will say it."
Another colleague,F(xiàn)uming Liao,who has worked with Tu Youyou for more than 40years,describes her as a"tough and stubborn woman".Stubborn enough to spend decades piecing together ancient texts,she applies them to modern scientific practices.The result has saved millions of lives.

52.According to Para.I,we can learn thatC.
A.Tu is the first woman to win a Nobel Prize
B.Tu has a medical degree
C.Tu's road to success is not traditional
D.Tu discovered a cure for malaria
53. The underlined word"decimating"can be replaced byB.
A.encouraging       B.killing
C.a(chǎn)nnoying          D.benefiting
54. Which of the following statements is true?D
A.Tu first invented the idea of using sweet wormwood as a cure.
B.Tu was inspired by medical textbooks published in northern vietnem.
C.The compound needs to be heated to the boiling point to be effective.
D.Over 240,000compounds were proved ineffective before Tu's seareh.
55.Tu Youyou can be best described as aA person.
A.devoted and stubborn
B.straightforward and mean
C.considerate and tough
D.sociable and generous.
