19.Arriving in Sydney on his own from India,my husband,Rashid,stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.
During the first week of his stay,he went out one day to do some shopping.He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone.He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers,including his passport.
He reported the case to the police and then sat there,lost and lonely in strange city,thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.
Late in the evening,the phone rang.It was a stranger.He was trying to pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions.Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can that had been left out on the footpath.
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers.Her parents had carefully sorted them out,although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents.At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

A.Go shopping

C.Join his family

分析 在文中作者講述了她們一家經(jīng)歷的一件事情.作者的丈夫不慎丟失了文件包,正當(dāng)著急的時候,有人打電話給送了回來,原來是那家人發(fā)現(xiàn)他們家的小孩在垃圾桶旁邊發(fā)現(xiàn)了這些文件,然后給送還了回來,通過這件事作者一家又找回了對人們的信任.

解答 35.B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章首段"Rashid,stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a short time while looking for a house."可知Rashid獨自一人到了悉尼后住在旅館中,同時到處去給家人找房子住,故答案選B.
36 C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題. 根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段"At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend."可知陌生人一家是通過作者丈夫文件中的一封信里的內(nèi)容得知他的電話號碼的,故答案選C.
37.D.猜測詞義題.根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段"My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents."可知那家人把撿到的文件替作者的丈夫保存著,然后送還給他,由此判斷該詞意思是"歸還",故答案選D.
38.C.標(biāo)題歸納題.文章講述了作者的丈夫丟失的物品被扔到了垃圾箱,但是有一個好心的家庭卻把那些文件等整理好送還給作者的丈夫,這些別人眼里的垃圾對作者的丈夫來說非常重要,由此判斷C選項內(nèi)容更能體現(xiàn)文章中心,故答案選C.

點評 本文是一個人物故事類閱讀理解,題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù).

4.British men are encouraged to cry.
There are certain things British men like to believe about themselves.The first is that one day they will again win the World Cup.They also believe they do not cry.Over the centuries,Britons are believed to have a"stiff upper lip".But is this true?
Yes,it is.A recent study arranged by Kleenex on how the British express their emotions reveals that 95 percent of them still containtheir emotions.
Moreover,while 72 percent think this is unhealthy,19 percent can't remember the last time they"let it out".As a result,Kleenex is launching the"Let It Out"campaign that encourages Brits to grab a tissue and have a good cry.
These days,however,the male Briton's attitude toward crying is changing.Though the majority still struggles to open up emotionally,a 2004 study by Oxford's Social Issues Research Center found that 77 percent of British men considered crying in public increasingly acceptable.Half of London males admitted crying in front of their mothers.Scotsmen are the least emotional,although they are the most likely to cry at weddings.
Peter Marsh,director of the center,said:"Crying can now indicate sensitivity rather than weakness.Like with David Beckham,crying because you're dropping off your boy at nursery isn't seen as weak."
Winston Churchill was said to be a frequent crier,shedding tears at seeing a survivor in an air raid shelter,and when he saw his wife after a long absence.
Psychologists say that while society has accepted that men can cry,there are limits.Ronald Bracey,a consulting psychologist,said:"If a man began to cry when he was having stitches(縫針)in hospital,he would be considered as a coward.Men still need to be seen as strong when it comes to physical pain."
67.What does the passage mainly deal with?D
A.Impression of British men.
B.British men's dream of the World Cup.
C.Advice on how to control emotions.
D.Different attitudes British men have towards crying.
68.Which of the following concerning the British men is NOT true according to the passage?C
A.They are supposed to easily control emotions over the centuries.
B.They are confident that they will again get successful in the World Cup.
C.About 50% of Britons admitted crying before their mothers.
D.Nowadays,the male Briton's attitude toward crying is changing.
69.The word"contain"in paragraph 3 meansB.
A.store         B.hold back          C.include          D.stir up
70.What does the author think of the British men's crying?C
A.They should cry if hurt.
B.They should keep firm not to cry to show they are not wimps.
C.They should be brave in face of physical pain and cry if necessary when facing other problems.
D.They should"let it out"whatever problems they meet with.

18.Creative conservationist (環(huán)保者) Asher Jay is a designer,artist,writer,and activist who is trying to save the world's most threatened wildlife with an unusual weapon:Art.
"Today we need everyone's involvement,not just core conservationists,"says Jay."People with no previous interest in conservation tune in to my messages because they engage with my work aesthetically.It starts as an interest in art for art's sake and ends with making lifestyle changes."
The New York-based artist has become a visual voice for a range of environmental causes.In Africa,screen savers glow with Jay's graphics of a  Poachedrhino horn dripping with blood.Jay's cartoons of elephants killed for their tusks have been shown in New York's Times Square,wild other works have spread worldwide on social media.
"The right image can overcome language and cultural barriers,connecting with people on a non-verbal,emotional level,"she says."It all starts with making an emotional impression on one person.Only then will someone change habits,speak out,or donate."
In recent years,much of Jay's best known work has focused on the illegal ivory trade.
In 2012,she created a silk screen print,showing a stark image of an elephant's head silhouetted in black,dripping with red blood,and accented by a tusk decorated with images of elephants'families."Every tusk costs a life,"said accompanying text."Stop poaching."
"I wanted to visualize the scale and brutality of the crisis and use art to tell the blood ivory story,"she says."Every year,35,000 elephants are slaughtered; that's one every 15minutes."
"Two-thirds of Africa's elephants have been killed for tusks in the last 35years.If this continues,experts predict elephants in the wild will be extinct in less than ten years."
Much of Jay's work around poaching aims simply to correct a widespread misunderstanding."Many people think an elephant's tusk or a rhino's horn simply falls off,like losing a tooth.My goal,"she says,"is to make them understand that elephants die painful deaths,because they are alive and conscious as poachers cut out their tusks."

63.What does the underlined word,"poached",in the third paragraph probably mean?C
A.Broken optionally                B.Incidentally decayed
C.Taken illegally                   D.Repaired carelessly
64.What can we learn from the last paragraph?D
A.More and more people care about wild animals now.
B.Wild animals will be extinct in less than ten years.
C.Jay wants people to stop buying ivory products.
D.Jay's works show the pain of elephants that are poached.
65.What is this passage mainly about?A
A.An artist's animal work aims to stop animal slaughter.
B.The risk of extinction for wild animals in Jay's works.
C.A new way to stop illegal trade designed by an artist.
D.How people hunt and abuse wild animals.
66.What does Jay say about the effect of art?D
A.It is a visual voice for animal protection.
B.It needs words to illustrate its meaning.
C.It can help more money to be donated to people in need.
D.It makes an emotional impression on people.
