4.In the animal kingdom,weakness can bring about aggression in other animals.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee,or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience,I see the best in people,but sometimes I was sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.
They don't get to see this soft side of others.Often,we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness,which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them.
Last month,when I was driving home on a busy highway,I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry,with some speeding up alongside me,horning(按喇叭)or even shouting at me.At that moment,I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving.I put on the flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights,I was saying to the other drivers,"I have a problem here,I am weak and doing the best I can,"And everyone understood.Several times,I saw drivers who wanted to pass.They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic.But instead of getting impatient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes weakness calls for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way.But in fact,it would be better if we don't pretend to feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we're scared.

62.The author has discovered that people will feel happy whenC.
A.they feel others'kindness
B.they receive others'help
C.they offer their help
D.they show their weakness
63.What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?D
A.They speed up to pass.
B.They put on their flashlights too
C.They tried their best to help.
D.They waited with patience..
64.In this passage,the author advises us toA.
A.a(chǎn)dmit our weakness
B.a(chǎn)ccept help from others
C.handle problems by ourselves
D.show our bravery
65.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?C
A.A Wheelchair Experience.
B.Weakness and Strength
C.Weakness and Kindness.
D.A Driving Experience.

分析 文章以自己的故事告訴大家要勇于承認(rèn)自己的缺點,因為在人類社會中,暴露自己的缺點會得到別人的幫助和愛心.

解答 62.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第一段后三行I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee,or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.可知那些人在給別人提供幫助的時候,他們感覺很快樂.故C正確.
63.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文中When I put on my flashlights,…But instead of getting impatient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.可知當(dāng)他們看到手電筒時會耐心等待;故選D.
64.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章最后一段More often,it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we're brave when we're scared.可知人們不要害怕承認(rèn)自己的缺點,故選A.
65.C.推理判斷題.文章的作者第一段就提出了自己的論點my weakness brings out the kindness in people.文章通篇以自己的經(jīng)歷向人們闡述弱勢與善良的關(guān)系;故選C.

點評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

17.I found one time that helping someone could get you into a lot of trouble.
I was in the(41)ninth(nine) grade at the time,and we were having a final test.During the test,the girl(42)sitting(sit) next to me whispered something,but I didn't understand.Finally I found that she was trying to ask me(43)if/whetherI had an extra pen.She showed me that(44)hers(her) was out of ink and would not write.I happened to have an extra one,so I put it on her desk.
Later,after the test papers had been turned in,the teacher(45)asked(ask) me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed.As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about how important it was(46)to stand(stand) on your own two(47)feet(foot) and be responsible for your own acts.For a long time,she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact(48)that.when people do something dishonest,they are really cheating themselves.She made me promise that I would think(49)seriously(serious) about all the things she had said,and then she told me I could leave.I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me(50)aboutall those things.
Later on,I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test.

15.A rumor(傳言) of treasures has some villagers dreaming of wealth,while others see it as a cheat.It's said that in the 1800s a white man left treasures inside the caves.
This system of caves has become the center of excitement in the village of Maraigushu,near Naivasha,Kenya.It is not clear where the rumor came from,but some locals here believe white settlers hid gold and other precious metals in the cave many years ago.
Local villager Edward Maina says the rumors have brought a lot of treasure hunters flooding into town to dig in the caves.Villagers say the original treasure seekers entered the cave nearly two months ago before being arrested by police.Local governments closed up the entrance,but they broke back in.
While neither gold nor silver have been found yet,but another important resource was found:water.Many rely on a natural spring coming from the cave and local officials,among them Ward Councilor Gaka Mwaniki,worry the digging could cut off or pollute the supply."We've seen ourselves there's nothing in those caves.The cave is natural.It's the water table that they're interfering with,"says Mwaniki.
Local resident James Mbugua Njenga wants the situation brought under control.
"If at all there's treasure inside there,let the government come and dig and protect the water table,"says Njenga.
It might be true,it might be a cheat.Whatever the case,treasure hunters continue to be drawn to the mystery of the caves.

32.What did the treasure hunters do after the entrance was closed up?C
A.They looked for another cave.
B.They gave up and went home.
C.They entered the cave again.
D.They fought against the police.
33.When did the treasure hunters begin to break into the cave?D
A.In the 1800s.
B.Many years ago.
C.In spring.
D.Nearly 2months ago.
34.Mwaniki are worried that the digging may causeA.
A.the pollution to the water 
B.the loss of the treasure
C.the flood in the village
D.the terrible weather
35.The underlined phrase"interfering with"in Paragraph 4probably meansD.
A.taking pride in 
B.taking care of
C.make searching for
D.causing harm to.

9.Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling.Recycling in the home is very important,of course.However,being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need.We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible,but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.
    The total amount of packaging has increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005.It now makes up a third of a typical household's waste in the UK.In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.
Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment.The UK,for example,is running out of it for burying this unnecessary waste.If such packaging is burnt,it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect.Recycling helps,but the process itself uses energy.The solution is not to produce such items in the first place.Food waste is a serious problem,too.Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need.However,few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue,encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags,for example.
But this is not just about supermarkets.It is about all of us.We have learned to associate packaging with quality.We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality.This is especially true of food.But it is also applied to a wide range of consumer products,which often have far more packaging than necessary.
There are signs of hope.As more of us recycle,we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary materials are collected.We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture,but we have a mountain to climb.
31.What does the underlined phrase"over-consumption"refer to?C
A.Using too much packaging
B.Recycling too many wastes.
C.Having more material than is needed
D.Making more products than necessary.
32.The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to showC.
A.the tendency of cutting household waste   
B.the increase of packaging recycling
C.the fact of packaging overuse            
D.the rapid growth of supermarkets   
33.According to the text,recyclingB.
A.means burning packaging for energy      
B.helps control the greenhouse effect   
C.is the solution to gas shortage             
D.leads to a waste of land
34.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?D
A.Unpackaged products are of bad quality.
B.Supermarkets care more about packaging.
C.Other products are better packaged than food.
D.It is improper to judge quality by packaging.
35.What can we learn from the last paragraph?B
A.Needless material is mostly recycled.
B.Fighting wastefulness is difficult.
C.People like collecting recyclable wastes.
D.The author is proud of their consumer culture.

16.For most people,the word"fashion"means"clothes".But people ask the question,"What clothes are fashion?"And they use the adjective"fashionable"in the same way:"she was wearing a fashionable coat.""His shirt was really a fashionable color."
But of course there are fashions in many things,not only in clothes.There are fashions in holidays,in restaurants,in films and books.There are even fashions in school subjects,jobs and in languages.
Fashions change as time goes.If you look at pictures of people or things from the past,you will feel that fashions have always changed.An English house of 1950was different from one of 1508.A fashionable man in 1920looked very different from his grandson in 2000.
Today fashions change very quickly.Some of this is natural.We hear about things much more quickly than in the past.Newspapers,radios,telephones and televisions send information from one country to another in a few hours.
New fashions mean that people will buy new things,so you see there is money in fashion.

A.Surfing on different cell-phones.

D.Playing games at school.

A.clothes are expensive
B.fashions can help people make big money
C.fashionable things are all expensive
D.if you are in fashion,you will have money
27.Which one is Not Right in the following statements?D

B.In the modern world,fashions change very quickly.
C.The word"fashions"doesn't only mean"clothes".
D.Fashions are in many things,but there aren't fashions in school subjects.

13.(71)CIt is a new term in today's tourism industry.But in an age of growing environmental awareness,it is not too difficult for us to imagine and understand this new form of holiday.
Ecotourism,which is considered as a kind of responsible tourism,is typically defined(定義)as travel to places where special and unusual plants,animals and cultural heritages (遺產(chǎn)) are the main attractions.(72)BTherefore,programs concerning the protection of some natural and cultural spots also form'a part of ecotourism.

(74)FHowever,it looks like some smaller towns and country areas may well become the new destinations for people to visit tomorrow because they are rich in ecological,cultural and historical resources (資源).
Ecotourism has been gaining increasing recognition and popularity mainly for the relaxing,natural and vivid experience it offers to tourists.People are attracted to nature  and long to be close to it.However,a conflict between nature and human beings is unavoidable.(75)G

B.It takes ecology and culture into consideration.
C.You may not be very familiar with"ecotourism".
D.More than 80activities have been listed for ecotourism.
E.People can have great fun enjoying nature through ecotourism.
F.Big cities are still the major places.that attract tourists in our society today.
