练习一、科普知识类 • Zinc (锌) is one of about 20 elements necessary for good health. It is present in the body in a very small amount, but it makes it possible for important chemical actions to be carried out in cells. Scientists are just beginning to discover how zinc and other elements work. • Researchers first studied zinc as a way to speed recovery. Dr. Waltor Powys, formerly with the United States Air Force, noted that the laboratory animals recovered faster when some substances were added to their food. One of these substances was zinc. Dr. Powys later tested the zinc treatment on an American airman recovering from medical operations. The airman who received zinc sulphate (硫酸盐) recovered in one half the usual time. Other doctors studied persons who had a number of strange disorders. The doctors learned that all of these problems were caused by a lack of zinc in the body. They treated these disorders successfully by giving the patients zinc sulphate. • The amount of zinc in the body can be found by examining the blood and hair. A lack of this important element is not uncommon among people in both industrial and developing countries. Zinc is found in most high protein foods, such as meat, milk, fish and eggs. It is also found in whole grains. But many people do not eat enough of these foods. Food makers should add the elements so that more people could get needed amounts of these essential substances.
1. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Scientists are just starting to study how zinc and other elements work. B. People only need a very small amount of zinc to maintain good health. C. Zinc is important because it allows important chemical actions to take place in cells. D. A lack of zinc is rare among people in developed countries. 2. Some health experts say food makers should add some elements ________ people won't lack these essential substances. A. therefore B. since C. for the purpose that D. for the effect that 3. The topic of this passage is _______. A. the role of zinc caliphate B. the relationship between zinc and people's health C. the amount of zinc that the body needs D. the food that contains zinc
【要点综述】本篇文章为说明文。锌是良好健康所需的20种元素之一。研究表明锌可以加速身体康复的速度,因而建议神品制造商们要添加锌以保证人们获取所需锌的量。【要点综述】本篇文章为说明文。锌是良好健康所需的20种元素之一。研究表明锌可以加速身体康复的速度,因而建议神品制造商们要添加锌以保证人们获取所需锌的量。 1.

练习二、环境保护类 • Every time you go to the supermarket, you come away with your purchases in plastic bags. But wouldn't it be kinder to the environment if you asked for paper bags instead? • The answer is not the easy as it might seem. Environmentalists say there are drawbacks to using both plastic bags and paper bags. • According to the American Plastics Council, 80 percent of groceries in the US are packed in plastic bags. • “The numbers are becoming huge.” said Vincent Cobb, a businessman from Chicago who set up “reusable bags.com” on the Internet. He notes that consumers use between 500 billion and 1 trillion plastic bags per year worldwide. • Some experts believe that all these bags harm the environment. Plastic takes hundreds of years to break down and, as it does so, poisonous materials are released into the water and soil. • Further damage is caused if plastic bags enter the sea. For example, endangered sea turtles cannot tell the bags from jellyfish, their main source of food, and often choke on them. • Floating plastic bags have been spotted as far north as the Arctic Ocean and as far south as the southern end of South America. One expert predicts that, within ten years, plastic bags will wash up in Antarctica! • However, this kind of bag does have its advantages. • “Plastic grocery bags are some of the most reused things around the house,” explained Laurie Kusek of the American Plastics Council. • According to the Film and Bag Federation, a trade group in the US plastics industry, paper bags use energy and create more waste than plastic bags. Plastic bags require 40 per cent less energy to produce and cause 70 per cent less air pollution, the group explained. They also release much as 94 percent less waste into the water than paper ones. • But paper bags do break down more quickly than plastic bags. They don't endanger wildlife, either. • So what should we do? One possible solution would be to use biodegradable(能被生物分解的) plastic bags. But until biodegradable technology improves, it might be easier to pack things you buy in reusable cloth bags.
1. The best title of the passage is. A. Paper Causes Less Pollution B. Plastic Causes Less Pollution C. Both paper and Plastics Are Pollutional D. Paper Bags Are Environmental-friendly 2. The underlined word “drawbacks” might mean “”. A. advantages B. disadvantages C. limits D. flaws 3. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. Paper takes less time to break down than plastic. B. Plastic bags will be found in Antarctica in the future. C. Paper bags require less energy than plastic bags. D. Reusable cloth bags are preferred when shopping. 4. What advantages do the paper bags have over plastic bags? A. Paper bags take less time to rot. B. Paper bags cause less pollution. C. Paper bags are the most reusable. D. Paper bags endanger the wildlife.
【要点综述】购物时,使用塑料袋还是纸袋?两者熟优熟劣?本文在对比二者的同时,指出,二者都污染环境。【要点综述】购物时,使用塑料袋还是纸袋?两者熟优熟劣?本文在对比二者的同时,指出,二者都污染环境。 1. C【解析】标题归纳题。文章在说明塑料袋和纸袋的优缺点,二者都污染环境,塑料袋难以分解,对南北极是个威胁,对海洋动物是个威胁,但是纸袋有消耗大量北边雇员、产生比塑料袋多得多的垃圾,塑料袋难以分解但是可以回收使用,而纸袋容易分解,可以看出文章的主题是二者都产生污染,故选C。 2. B【解析】词义猜测题。第二段实际是主题,从下文的说明可知不管塑料袋还是纸袋都污染环境,所以可以猜得drawbacks是“劣势”的含义,故选B。 3. C【解析】细节理解题。第十段提到纸袋比塑料袋使用更多的能源、产生更多的垃圾,C项陈述与文章内容不符,故选C。 4. A【解析】细节理解题。第十一段提到,“但是纸袋比塑料袋分解快速”,故选C。
练习三、社会文化类 • For many people in the U.S, sports are not just for fun. They’re almost a "religion". Thousands of sports fans buy expensive tickets to watch their favorite teams and athletes play in person. Other fans watch the games at home, sticking to their TV sets, never missing a game. Many a wife becomes a "sports widow(运动寡妇)" during her husband's favorite season. America's devotion to sports has created a new class of wealthy people: professional athletes. Sports stars often receive million - dollar salaries. Some even make big money by appearing in advertisements for soft drinks, shoes and almost everything. • Sports are an important part of American culture. Throughout their school life, Americans learn to play many sports. Many students try out for the school teams. Athletic events at universities attract scores of fans and benefit the whole community. Many people also enjoy non - competitive activities, like hiking, cycling, horseback riding, camping or hunting. • Many sports were imported from other countries. Europeans brought tennis, golf, bowling and boxing to America. Football and baseball came from other Old World games. Only basketball has a truly American origin. Americans export sports fever as well. Satellites broadcast games to sports fans around the globe. NBA is a good example. The names of American superstars like basketball great Michael Jordan have become household words all over the world.

【文章大意】本篇文章为说明文。运动在美国不仅仅是娱乐,也是美国文化中的重要组成部分。运动吸引了很多人,也是很多人从事各种运动。美国不仅引进运动也输出运动。尤其NBA吸引了全球众多球迷。【文章大意】本篇文章为说明文。运动在美国不仅仅是娱乐,也是美国文化中的重要组成部分。运动吸引了很多人,也是很多人从事各种运动。美国不仅引进运动也输出运动。尤其NBA吸引了全球众多球迷。 1. C 【解析】词义猜测题。根据第一段第三句和第四句“Other fans watch the games at home, sticking to their TV sets, never missing a game. Many a wife becomes a "sports widow(运动寡妇)" during her husband's favorite season”,可知很多球迷黏在电视机前,从不错过一场比赛,许多妻子在他们的丈夫最喜欢的赛季中也因此成为运动寡妇,故选C。 2. D【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段后三句“America's devotion to sports has created a new class of wealthy people: professional athletes. Sports stars often receive million - dollar salaries. Some even make big money by appearing in advertisements for soft drinks, shoes and almost everything”可知由于美国人对运动的爱好,产生了一个新的阶层:职业运动员,他们经常是收入百万美元,而且从广告中获得巨大收入,A正确;第二段第二句和第三句“Throughout their school life, Americans learn to play many sports. Many students try out for the school teams. Athletic events at universities attract scores of fans and benefit the whole community”,可知美国学生学会更多的体育运动,职业运动在大学也吸引了大量的拥蹙者,B正确;第二段第四局“Many people also enjoy non - competitive activities, like hiking, cycling, horseback riding, camping or hunting”可知,许多美国人喜欢非竞争性的运动,故C正确;D系轩昂文中没涉及,故选D不对,选择D。 3.

练习四、人物传记类 • Jerry was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. • One day, I went up to Jerry and asked him, “You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Jerry replied, “Every time someone complains to me, I can choose to accept his complaints or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.” • Several years later, I heard that Jerry was shot by three armed robbers. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the hospital. Finally Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body. About six months after the accident, I saw him. I asked him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. • “The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I choose to live.” • “Weren’t you scared?” • Jerry continued, “The doctors and nurses were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, ‘He’s a dead man.’ I knew I needed to take action.” • “What did you do?” I asked. • “Well, there was a big, strong nurse shouting questions at me,” said Jerry. “She asked if I was allergic to anything. ‘Yes’, I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets!’ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’” • Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.
1. Which of the following words can be used to describe Jerry? • A. Impolite. B. Concerned. C. Stubborn. D. Optimistic. • 2. What did Jerry first think of when the robbery happened? • A. He might be shot by the armed robbers. • B. He shouldn’t have left the back door unlocked. • C. How he could call the policemen. • D. He might be robbed of many things. • 3. From the expressions of the doctors and nurses, Jerry realized that _______. • they didn’t want to save his life • B. he wasn’t seriously wounded • C. they thought he had little chance to live • D. he was treated as a dead man
【要点综述】本文叙述了一位生活态度非常乐观的人,Jerry 。不管发生什么事,他总能用积极乐观的态度对待。文中描述了有一天Jerry家遭到了抢劫,他受了重伤。医生们议论说他可能活不了,而这是躺在手术车上的Jerry,却还能开玩笑,最终他得救了。 1.D【解析】推理判断题。从文章开头第一句话“Jerry was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. ”可以推断出Jerry是一位非常积极乐观的人。而A. Impolite.有礼貌的;B. Concerned.关心的;C. Stubborn.固执的,这三项都不合乎题意。 2.B. 【解析】推理判断题。从第四段第一句话Jerry的回答“The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,”可以得知当抢劫发生时,Jerry 才意识到自己忘记锁后门了。一开始他并没有受伤,故A不合题意;文中并没提到他报警的是,故不合题意;在被抢劫之初,他并不知道自己将被抢走许多东西,故不能选。 3.C.【解析】推理判断题。从文中第六段“I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, ‘He’s a dead man.’ I knew I needed to take action.””可以推断出Jerry 生存的可能性很小。文中并没有提到医生不想挽救他的生命,故A不能选;因为作者自己认为医生认为他可能死了,可知他受伤很严重,所以B项不能选;而D项他被当做死人一样来拯救的,也不合题意。
练习五、说理议论类 • My father was 44 and knew he wasn’tgoing to male it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life. • Since the day 1 was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my beart. One it aways times out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer. But I know that one hay, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.” He didn’t know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask. “Is this what you were talking about, Dad? Should I keep going?” • A long way frim 12 now, I realize hew would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, thongn. I’ve come to believe he’d want me to move on to winat com next: to be nrood of and believe in, somebody else. It’s time to start writing my own letters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don’t hold back because they’re afraid to fail. They’re only afraid of failing us. They don’t worry about being disappointed. Their fear-as mine was until my father’s letter-is of being a disappointment. • Give your chikdren permission to succeed. They’re witing for you to believe in them. I always knew way parents loved me. But trust my That elic will be more comlece, that love will be more real, and their belief in the nelces whi be greater if you write the words on their hearts; “Don’t worry; you’ll do something great.” Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.

Kismet is the name of a robot which scientists have built this year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT). • Kismet is different from traditional robots because it can show human emotions. Its eyes, ears and lips move to show when it feels happy, sad or bored. Kismet is one of the first robots of a new generation that look like human beings and can imitate human feelings. • Some people say that by 2020 we will have created robots with brains similar to those of adult human beings. These robots will be designed to look like people to make them more attractive and easier to sell. What kind of jobs will they do? In the future, robots like Robonaut, a robot invented by NASA, will be doing dangerous jobs, like repairing space stations. They will also be doing more and more of the household work for us. In Japan, scientists are designing robots that will entertain people by dancing and playing the piano. • Meanwhile, people who worry about the future are wondering whether robots will become monsters? Will people themselves become increasingly like robots? Experts predict that more and more people will be wearing micro-computers connected to the Internet in the future. People will have microchips in various parts of their body, which will connect them to a wide variety of small machines. Perhaps we should not exaggerate(夸大) the importance of technology, but one may wonder whether, in years to come, we will be falling in love, and whether we will feel pain. • Who knows?

练习八、逸闻趣事类 • The Wife-carrying World Championship has been celebrated in a small town in central Finland since 1992. In 1992, the people of the town decided that it was time to restart some long-forgotten traditions. Back in the late 1800s, there was a robber called Rosvo-Ronkainen in that area. He was said to only accept men as members of his gang who proved their worth in challenges. At that time, it was also a common practice to steal women from neighboring villages. • The Wife-carrying World Championship is becoming increasingly popular.

练习九、史地常识类 • What is the tallest gift received by the United States? Located in New York Harbor, the 152-foot Statue of Liberty was a gift of international friendship from the people of France to the people o f the United States. An inspiration to millions of immigrants, this statue is a universal symbol of freedom, democracy(民主),and diplomacy(外交)。 • The relationship between the United Stantes and France began during America’s quest for independence from Great Britain in 1776. Benjamin Franklin was among those who served on the diplomatic front during the Revolutionary War. By living in Paris as the American ambassador, Benjamin cultivated a relationship with the French government and the French people. As a result, French soldiers fought alongside the American colonists (殖民地). Paris was the site for peace negotiations between the United States and Great Britain at the end of the war. • In 1865, Edourd de Laboulaye of France developed the idea of creating a giant statue to honor the friendship and the commitment to liberty between France and the United States. He formed the French-American Union to raise money for the project. Joseph Pulitzer used the editorial pages of his newspaper to raise support in the United States for the fund. French sculptor Auguste Bartholdi and structural engineer Gustave Eiffel finished the project in Paris, and the French people presented it to the people of America on July 4, 1884. The statue was then shipped across the Atlantic in 214 boxes broken into 350 individual separate pieces. The statue of Liberty was dedicated (举行落成典礼) on October 28, 1886, and President Grover Cleveland accepted the Statue on behalf of the American people. • Ellis Island, which was the arrival point for European immigrants, is part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument. Between 1892 and 1924, more than 22 million passengers saw the Statue of Liberty as they passed through Ellis Island and the Port of New York. This symbol of freedom became a National Monument in 1924 and a major tourist attraction in the 20th century.
