18．All around the world，shoppers flock to Wal-Mart to buy everything．In Texas，they come for another reason：to see the wind turbine （渦輪機），which supplies 5% of the store's electricity．It along with other facilities，such as exterior walls coated with heat-reflective paint，makes this  Wal-Mart a green giant．
The laws of economics suggest that Wal-Mart，with 5，200stores worldwide，influences everything including the price of all kinds of goods．It throws its weight behind environmental responsibility，and the impact could be amazing．"One little change in product packaging could  save 1，500trees，"says Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott．"If everybody saves 1，500trees or 50barrels of oil，at the end of the day you have made a huge difference．"
Scott wants Wal-Mart to do its part too．He has promised to cut the existing greenhouse-gas emissions （排放） over the next few years and promised to construct new stores that are more efficient．He wants Wal-Mart's fleet （車隊） of more than 7，000trucks to get twice as many miles per gallon by 2015．Factories that show Wal-Mart they're cutting air pollution will get preferential treatment in the supply chain．Wal-Mart says it's working with consumer-product manufacturers to  reduce their packaging and will reward them if they do so．
Some people may doubt it is a bid to attract attention from Wal-Mart's controversial labor and   health-insurance practices．But it's not just window dressing，because Wal-Mart sees profits in  going green．Scott says，"This is a business philosophy，not a social philosophy．We don't go where we don't think there's a great interest in change．"
Like Bill Gates，who started his charitable foundation，Scott happens to be promoting Wal-Mart's image at a time when his company's reputation is declining．He acknowledges that he launched the plan partly to shield （保護，庇護） Wal-Mart from bad press about its contribution to global warming．"By doing what we're doing today，we avoid the headline risks that are going to come for people who did not do anything，"he says．"At some point businesses will be held responsible for the actions they take．"Meanwhile，should Wal-Mart succeed at shrinking its environmental footprint and lowering prices for green products，both the planet and the company will profit．

44．We can infer from the passage thatC．
A．Lee Scott is Wal-Mart's CEO
B．there are 5，200stores in the world
C．Wal-Mart has a great influence on the world market
D．Wal-Mart has more than 7，000trucks all over the world
45．What does the underlined sentence"This is a business philosophy，not a social philosophy．"mean in the fourth paragraph？A
A．Wal-Mart predicts huge profits in its green activity．
B．Wal-Mart's green activity is just window dressing．
C．Wal-Mart aims to solve its health-insurance practices．
D．Wal-Mart doesn't have any social responsibility at all．
46．What will Wal-Mart probably do in the future？A
A．Reduce air pollution in its present stores．
B．Give favorable treatment to its consumers．
C．Ask the factories to reduce their packaging．
D．Demand the fleet of trucks to use more fuel than before．
47．What is the main idea of the last paragraph？B
A．Provide the background of the green plan．
B．Stress the purpose of Wal-Mart's green plan．
C．Present the risk that Wal-Mart is facing nowadays．
D．Analyze the similarity between Bill Gates and Scott．

分析 文章主要講了沃爾瑪正在或者準備執(zhí)行的各項環(huán)保措施，并且沃爾瑪?shù)腃EO強調(diào)這是有商業(yè)目的．

解答 44：C推斷題．由第二段第一句"The laws of economics suggest that Wal-Mart，with 5，200 stores worldwide，influences everything including the price of all kinds of goods．"可知C項正確．
A項，Lee Scott 是 CEO 是文中內(nèi)容，不需推測，所以A項錯誤．B項，沃爾瑪在全球有5200家店鋪，B項沒有說沃爾瑪，所以B項錯誤．D項，由第三段第三句"He wants Wal-Mart's fleet（車隊） of more than 7，000 trucks"可知現(xiàn)在還沒有7000輛，所以D項錯誤．
故正確答案為C．
45：A由第四段第二句"because Wal-Mart sees profits in going green．"可推斷 Scott 的話的意思是沃爾瑪通過環(huán)保行動可以獲取巨大利潤，而不單是為了公益活動，所以A項符合文意，另外三個選項與本段內(nèi)容無關，故正確答案為A．
46：A推斷題．由第三段第二句"He has promised to cut the existing greenhouse-gas emissions（排放） over the next few years and promised to construct new stores that are more efficient．"可知A項正確．
B項，文中沒有相關內(nèi)容，所以B項錯誤．C項，由第三段最后一句"Wal-Mart says it's working with consumer-product manufacturers to  reduce their packaging and will reward them if they do so．"可知沃爾瑪會與工廠聯(lián)合共同努力減少包裝而不是單獨要求他們減少包裝，所以C項錯誤．D項，由第三段可知沃爾瑪要求車隊減少燃料的使用，所以D項錯誤．故正確答案為A．
47：B主旨題．文章主要講了沃爾瑪正在或者準備執(zhí)行的各項環(huán)保措施，并且沃爾瑪?shù)腃EO強調(diào)這是有商業(yè)目的，所以B項符合文意．A項，沒有提到沃爾瑪這個主體，所以A項錯誤．C項，文章大部分篇幅講了沃爾瑪準備執(zhí)行的環(huán)保計劃，只有最后提到了他們面對的危險，但這不是主要內(nèi)容，所以C項錯誤．D項，Bill Gates 與Scott 的比較只在最后一段出現(xiàn)，并不是文章主要內(nèi)容，所以D項錯誤．故正確答案為B．

點評 本文是人物故事理解．做這類題材閱讀理解時要求考生對文章通讀一遍，做題時結合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關語句進行仔細分析，結合選項選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關鍵句子的基礎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)．

8．For years Tom Anderson's life was withered（枯萎） up by the memory of his part in an outdoor adventure that resulted in the death of one of his classmates．He and his wife separated after six years of marriage．Then the news about Tom changed．His wife Betty came back； he earned a fine position in a company．
One day he told me what had changed his life：I used to think，‘Nothing can undo what I have done．'The thought of my guilt would stop me in the middle of a smile or a handshake．It put a wall between my wife and me．Then I had an unexpected visit from the person I feared most to see-the mother of the college classmate who died．"Years ago"，she said，"I found it in my heart，through prayer，to                ．Betty forgave you．So did your friends and employers．"She paused，and then said strictly，"You are the one person who hasn't forgiven Tom Anderson．Who do you think you are to stand out against the people of this town and the Lord Almighty？""I looked into her eyes and found there a kind of permission to be the person I might have been if her boy had lived．For the first time in my adult life I felt worthy to love and be loved．"
It is only through forgiveness of our mistakes that we gain the freedom to learn from experience．But forgiving our shortcomings doesn't mean ignoring that they exist．On the contrary，it means facing them honestly，realistically．Unless you forgive，you cannot love．And without love，life has no meaning．Forgiveness is a good quality．
76．What is the best title of this passage？（Within 10 words）Forgiveness is a good quality．
77．Fill in the blank with proper words to complete the sentence in paragraph 2？（Within 5 words）forgive you
78．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one？The thought of my guilt would stop me in the middle of a smile or a handshake．
I would hold back my smile and stop shaking hands with people at the thought of my fault in the adventure．
79．What would you do when someone does something wrong to you indeliberately？Why？（within 30 words）（One possible answer） I would surely forgive him because through forgiveness，a person would soon get out of his disturbance and learn from his mistakes and the kindness is sure to pass on．
80．Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese．但是，原諒我們的過失并不意味著無視其存在，而是要誠實地、現(xiàn)實地面對它們．．

6．When I was a kid，I was close to my dad，but as I grew older，he and I grew further apart．We always had totally different opinions．He thought that college was a waste of time，but for me it was important to finish college．He wanted me to work my way to the top as he had done in his field，but I wanted a different life．There was a time when we did not talk with each other．
A few months ago，I heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor health．When he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him，I knew he was seriously ill．I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father's requirement．
Two weeks after moving back，we bought a boat and started fishing again．Fishing was one of the few things that we did while I was young and that we both enjoyed．It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us．We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before．Fishing has been healing the old wounds that have kept us apart
It is not important how many fish we catch．It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years．I'm 62 and he is 84．When we are on the lake fishing，it is like two kids enjoying life．It is far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind．I am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last years．Now my heart is filled with love．A smile always graces my lips．

13．This parable（寓言）is told of a farmer who owned an old mule（騾子）．The mule fell into the farmer's well．The farmer heard the mule praying for whatever mules do when they fall into wells．After carefully assessing（評估）the situation，the farmer sympathized（同情）with the mule，but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving．Instead，he called his neighbors together，told them what had happened，and asked them to help pour dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out his misery．
At the beginning，the old mule was crazy!But as the farmer and his neighbors continued shovelling and the dirt hit his back，a thought struck him．It suddenly dawned on him that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back，he would shake it off and step up!
This he did，blow after blow．"Shake it off and step up…shake it off and step up…shake it off and step up!"He repeated to encourage himself．No matter how painful the blows，or how distressing the situation seemed，the old mule fought panic and just kept right on shaking it off and stepping up!
It wasn't long before the old mule，battered and exhausted，stepped triumphantly（勝利地）over the wall of that well!What seemed like it would bury him actually helped him…all because of the manner in which he handled his adversity（逆境）．
That's life!If we face our problems and respond to them positively，and refuse to give in to panic，bitterness，or self-pity．
The adversities that come along to bury us usually have within them the very real potential to benefit us!Never be afraid to try something new．Remember that amateurs（生手）built the boat．Professionals built the Titanic．

67．Why did the farmer decide to bury the mule in the well？D
A．Because he thought the mule was of little use．
B．Because he didn't like the praying made by the mule．
C．Because he thought the well couldn't be used any longer after the accident．
D．Because he didn't want to see the mule suffer more in the well．
68．What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph mean？C
A．The mule became calm                 B．The mule became quiet．
C．The mule suddenly had an idea        D．The mule lost heart．
69．Who saved the mule at last？D
A．The farmer                          B．The farmer's neighbors
C．The farmer and his neighbors        D．The mule himself
70．What lesson can we learn from the passage？B
a．One should give up something of little use．
b．One should depend oneself when in trouble．
c．One should show mercy to others who are in trouble．
d．There must be something that one can do well no matter what he is．
e．Be self-determined and never give up，and one can succeed in the end．
