5．Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience，there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often：ability，money and time，（36）BMoney is a topic I'll save for another day．So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen．Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：
Think ahead．The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat．So think about of the coming week．When will you have time to cook？Do you have the right materials ready？（37）GMake your time worth it．When you do find time to cook a meal，make the most of it and save yourself time later on．Are you making one loaf of bread？（38）CIt takes around the same amount of time to make more of something．So save yourself the effort for a future meal．
（39）AThis may surprise you，but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation．It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule．The more you learn and the more you try，the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule．
Hopefully that gives you a good start．（40）Fand don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!

A．Try new things．
B．Ability is easily improved．
C．Make three or four instead．
D．Understand your food better．
E．Cooking is a burden for many people．
F．Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden．
G．A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on．

分析 本文是說明文體裁．作者在文中介紹了一些如何在繁忙的時間內(nèi)享受做飯帶來的樂趣．作者認為人們不經(jīng)常做飯的原因有三個方面：能力，錢和時間．作者著重介紹了時間方面的問題，他認為要提前做好計劃；要讓時間花的有價值而且要人們經(jīng)常去嘗試新的想法和新的菜譜．

解答 BGCAF
36．B 考查上下文的語境理解．在上文中作者提出人們不做飯的原因有能力，金錢和時間等原因，然后再空后介紹了金錢和時間問題，由此判斷空格上內(nèi)容是作者對能力的介紹，縱觀選項B選項內(nèi)容（能力是很容易提高的）符合語境，故答案選B．
37．G 考查上下文的語境理解．本段主題句是Think ahead，讓人們要提前有計劃，提前做好安排，這樣做飯就不是件痛苦的事情了，所以判斷G選項內(nèi)容（提前一點時間做計劃可以節(jié)省以后的很多時間）能夠承接上文，選G．
38．C 考查上下文的語境理解．在前面作者提到要讓時間花的更值得，提出問題．Are you making one loaf of bread？而且下文提到在同樣多的時間內(nèi)要多做幾個面包，所以判斷C選項內(nèi)容（要做三、四個面包）能夠起到承上啟下的作用，答案選C．
39．A 考查語境理解及主題句．在本段中作者提到要多去嘗試新的菜譜和新的想法，這樣能力就越來越高，所以A選項內(nèi)容（嘗試新事物）可以概括本段中心，選A．
40．F 考查上下文的語境理解．在上文中作者給人們建議如何在繁忙的生活中尋找做飯的快樂，再根據(jù)空格后內(nèi)容：不要因為緊張的時間安排而不能去享受生活，可以判斷F選項內(nèi)容（要讓做飯和生活成為一種樂趣而不是負擔）符合語境，選F．

點評 七選五的做題首先要通讀答案和全文，了解文章大意．根據(jù)文章整體結(jié)構(gòu)，具體內(nèi)容和上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，將選項填入文中．本題聚焦主旨大意，用根據(jù)下文的細節(jié)，找出相對應的關(guān)鍵詞．

World Bank President Jim YongKim says that the problems of poverty，hunger and inequality are wide，urgent and a matter of survival of millions．
"We know that despite the great successes of the last decade，there are still about 1.3billion people living in extreme poverty，870million who go hungry every day，and 6.9million children under five dying every year，"he said．
But Kim told a Washington audience that the previous successful efforts to cut the number of people living in extreme poverty by half give them hope．
"We are at an auspicious moment in history，when the successes of past decades and an increasingly favourable economic outlook combine to give developing countries a chance--for the first time ever--to end extreme poverty within a generation，"he said in a speech at Georgetown University．"Our duty now must be to ensure that these favourable circumstances are matched with deliberate decisions to realize this historic opportunity．"
Kim says success will require increasing the speed of economic growth，particularly in South Africa and South Asia．
But he warned that civil unrest（動亂）could happen if economic growth does not help people at all income levels，and also include women and youth．
Kim says that the World Bank and other development agencies will have more resources to get this job done right．"Meeting this 2030goal will take extraordinary effort，"he said．
However，Kim warned that all the progress in fighting poverty could be destroyed by climate disasters unless the nations of the world do more to prevent climate change．

21．In the opinion of Jim Yong Kim，world povertyD．
A．is not quite hard to end by 2030            
B．exists only in Africa and Asia
C．will be sure to disappear by 2030           
D．is difficult but hopeful to end by 2030
22．The underlined word"auspicious"in Paragraph 5most probably means"D"．
A．unforgettable           B．urgent       
C．disappearing            D．important
23．What's the passage mainly about？B
A．The key of ending world poverty is preventing climate change
B．A top goal-ending world poverty will possibly be achieved by 2030
C．The success of ending poverty-economic growth

13．Five Ways to Improve Reading Comprehension（理解）Help your child keep what he reads--an important skill，especially as he gets older and needs to gain important information from textbooks．
Have him read aloud．This forces him to go slower，which gives him more time to process （加工） what he reads．（36）F．
Provide the right kinds of books．Make sure your child gets lots of practice reading books that aren't too hard．（37）GStopping any more often than that to figure out（弄明白） a word makes it tough（艱苦） for him to focus on the overall meaning of the story．
（38）ATo gain meaning from text，your child needs to read quickly and smoothly--a skill known as fluency．Rereading familiar，simple books gives your child practice at decoding words quickly so he'll become more fluent．
Talk to the teacher．If your child is struggling hard with comprehension，he may need more help with his reading--for example，building his vocabulary or practicing phonics skills．
Talk about what he's reading．This"verbal processing"helps him remember and think through the themes of the book．（39）EFor example：
●Before："What interests you in this book？What doesn't？"
●During："（40）BIs it turning out the way you thought it would？"
●After："Can you summarize the book？What did you like about it？"

A．Reread to build fluency．
B．What's going on in the book？
C．Look up new words in the dictionary．
D．Do you know all the characters in the story？
E．Ask questions before，during，and after a reading session．
F．Plus，he's not only seeing the words，he's hearing them，too．
G．He should recognize at least 90percent of the words without any help．

17．In 1943，when I was 4，my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene，Idaho，to Fairbanks，Alaska，where adventure was never very far away．
We arrived in the summer，just in time to enjoy the midnight sun．All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden．Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off，so she didn't care much about my bedtime．
Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk．That left me in a mess．I usually managed to find some trouble to get into．Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel．I had tried to light a barrel （桶） of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going．The smoke got pretty bad，though，and when I made my exit，a crowd and the police were there to greet me．The policemen took my matches and drove me home．
Mom and Dad were occupied/busy in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me，and they did!I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me.1 hadn't turned 5 yet．
As I entered kindergarten，the serious cold began to set in．Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail（欄桿） at school？
As for Leonhard Seppala，famous as a dog sledder （駕雪橇者），I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday．At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was，but I do remember the ride well．I was wrapped heavily and well sheltered （保護） from the freezing and blowing weather．
In 1950，we moved back to Coeur d'Alene，but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska．

14．Etymology，the study of words and word roots，may sound like the kind of thing done by boring librarians in small，dusty rooms．Yet etymologists actually have a uniquely interesting job．They are in many ways just like archaeologists （考古學家） digging up the physical history of people and events．The special aspect of etymology is that it digs up history，so to speak，through the words and phrases that are left behind．
The English language，in particular，is a great field to explore history through words．As a language，English has an extraordinary number of words．This is partly due to its ability to adapt foreign words so readily．For example，"English"words such as kindergarten （from German），croissant （from French），and cheetah （from Hindi） have become part of the language with little or no change from their original sounds and spellings．So English-language etymologists have a vast world of words to explore．
Another enjoyable thing about etymology for most word experts is solving word mysteries （謎）．No，etymologists do not go around solving murders，like the great detective Sherlock Holmes．What these word experts solve are mysterious origins of some of our most common words．
One of the biggest questions English language experts have pursued is how English came to have the phrase OK．Though it is one of the most commonly used expressions，its exact beginning is a puzzle even to this day．Even its spelling is not entirely consistent--unless you spell it Okay，it is hard even to call it a word．
Etymologists have been able to narrow OK's origin down to a likely，although not certain，source （來源）．It became widely used around the time of Martin Van Buren's run for president in 1840．His nickname was Old Kinderhook．What troubles word experts about this explanation is that the phrase appeared in some newspapers before Van Buren became well known．It is likely that Van Buren could be called its primary source．Etymologists will doubtlessly keep searching for the original source．However，it is clear that OK's popularity and reputation have topped those of the American president to whom it has been most clearly linked．
21．The author mentions the words like"croissant"in Paragraph 2 to showC
A．words have changed a lot in the two languages
B．what English-language etymologists are exploring now
C．English has absorbed many words from other foreign languages
D．the English vocabulary is difficult to the non-English-speaking people
22．The underlined word"pursued"in Paragraph 4 meansB．
A．looked upon     
B．dug up    
C．put in        
D．set down
23．We can learn from the passage that etymologistsA．
A．discover the possible origin of words 
B．help detectives to solve mysterious murders
C．write interesting stories for some newspapers
D．explore the English language as well as the recent events
24．What most probably is the major purpose of the passage？C
A．To present the history of English words．
B．To explain what an etymologist does for his job．
C．To introduce the pleasure of the study of words and word roots．
D．To teach readers how to tell English words from non-English words•

1．In many parts of the world，cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them．（71）E But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously，not only by government but also by car manufacturers．
    The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program．（72）AThat will mean much saving，no accidents and better use of roads．The super-intelligent car in the future will drive itself．（73）CInstead，we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing．
     According to Dr．David Davis，who leads the research team，these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture，which had blocked up our cities，polluted our air，and caused more deaths than both world wars put together．
    Davis says．ears will be fitted with some intelligent devices（裝置）to regulate（調(diào)節(jié)）the distance between one car and another．（74）GComputers are much safer drivers than people，so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people． 
    By 2010，Dr．David Davis believes，car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road，whatever the weather conditions，by projecting an image of the road ahead on to the car's windscreen．（75）DCars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form"road-trains"．"The front vehicle in such a train bums the normal amount．"says Davis．"but all the others in the train would bum about ten percent of the normal amount，and so produce about ten percent of the pollution．"

A．The team there believes that by 2030 all cars will be computerized．
B．They believe that cars will become more important in 20 years．
C．And it will not be owned by one individual．
D．And by 2030，cars will travel in line，linked to each other electronically．
E．So the idea that in 20 years'time，no one will own cars may be hard to believe．
F．Every driver will use less fuel in the car he owns．
G．The car will automatically speed up，or slow down，to match the speed of the car in front．
