試題分析:本文是一則圖書俱樂部的會員加入說明。
1.細節(jié)信息題。根據Being a member部分中的第一句話“All we are asking you to do while you are a member is to choose four books during your first year.”可知,成為會員后,第一年要選購四本書,這些書并不是免費的,因此A選項不是成為會員的好處。根據Immediate benefits部分的內容可知,B、C、D三項都是成為會員后可以享受到的好處。
2.When you’ve joined部分中的第二句話“Your free club magazine arrives once a month,to keep you up to date with the latest best?sellers.”可知,每月給會員一本免費的會員雜志是為了告知會員最近的暢銷書,因此答案為B。
3.When you’ve joined部分中的首句“As a member,you’ll enjoy savings of between 30% and 50% off the publisher’s price on every book you buy”可知,會員購書可以打七到五折,因此一本100美元的圖書,會員將節(jié)省30至50美元,故B項正確。
4.To apply to become a member,all you need to do is simply fill in the enclosed form and return it in the postage?paid envelope supplied.”直接可知,要成為該圖書俱樂部的成員,所需要的就是簡單地填好所附的表格然后用提供的已付郵資的信封寄回就OK了。

Latest statistics from the Ministry of Health showed that the incidence rate of kidney cancer increased on average by 2.5 percent annually, with men aged 55 to 65 at particular risk. "It has now become the 10th most common cancer type among men and will be on the rise in the future," said Ma Jianhui, a leading doctor at the Department of Urological Surgical Oncology of the Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.
Chinese senior cancer specialists warned the public that rising kidney cancer, one of the major health problems in China in recent years, is largely due to an unhealthy lifestyle associated with obesity, smoking and drinking. Lack of healthy diet is also one of the major causes.
Though many people already know their unhealthy ways, they keep on doing it. "I smoke because I work in sales and it helps me cope with the stress of meeting targets," said Wu, after she smoked inside a public restaurant.

科目:高中英語 來源:2015屆廣東省廣州市高三上學期第一次質量檢測英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解
I never thought I would have a life-changing experience at Wal-Mart.
Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn't moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier.
There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, he's an old guy!
For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, “How's it going?” But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.
I thought it was odd. I have grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don't give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live,” and someone would reply, “Have a great day!”
But that wasn't the end.
He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked at the customers in the eyes. “I sure want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “You have a great day. Bye-bye.”
The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture---and in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling.
Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name, Marty.
Who was that guy? It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy’s body.
I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.
1.The checkout line the writer was standing in moved slower than expected because_______ .
A.the cashier couldn’t work as fast as others

2.According to the writer, when common people ask you “How’s it going?”
A.they don’t really care what you may answer
B.they are just practicing their conversation ability
C.they are inquiring about your private information
D.they don’t expect to hear any negative answers
3.What was most customers’ reaction to Marty’s behaviors?
A.They thought it priceless. B.They were in some way moved.
C.They thought it awful and odd. D.They felt somewhat offended.
4.What can we infer about Sam Walton?
A.He might be Marty’s father or grandfather.
B.He might be friendly and devoted to Wal-Mart.
C.He might have died while working in the market.
D.He might have come back from the dead once before.
5.What does the writer intend to express through the text?
A.Our everyday life is always full of surprises.
B.Most customers enjoy being treated this way.
C.Being different is a good way of doing business.
D.A little positive action can make a big difference.
