Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.
Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.
Among the bag makers’ argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.
The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.
Environmentalists don’t dispute(质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.
24. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?
A. Help increase grocery sales.
B. Recycle the waste material.
C. Stop things falling off trucks.
D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.
25. What does the word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Bans on plastic bags.
B. Effects of city development.
C. Headaches caused by garbage.
D. Plastic bags hung in trees.
26. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?
A. They are quite expensive.
B. Replacing them can be difficult.
C. They are less strong than plastic bags.
D. Producing them requires more energy.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Plastic, Paper or Neither
B. Industry, Pollution and Environment
C. Recycle or Throw Away
D. Garbage Collection and Waste Control
C
Han Tianheng picked up a carving knife at the age of 6 and never put it down. Today, the 79 year-old artist, one of China's most respected living masters of seal carving(印章雕刻), calligraphy and Chinese painting, still remembers the incident the first time he held a knife in his hand.
“I cut my thumb badly and was horrified by the bloody sight," he said, adding that his mother applied ashes because she couldn't afford to take him to a hospital. "The cut left a scar, which is still clear today."
An eye for an eye and blood for blood, the incident didn't set him back. Instead, it aroused his passion for the ancient art form. He was determined to pursue a path that would lead to a career in seal carving. Han said.
The journey of art exploration was a little bumpy for the young man in his quest for excellence, and his seal works were harshly criticized by a famous old painter.
Most would have crumbled under the criticism, not Han. It made him even more determined. After six months' hard work, he visited the painter again.
"This time, he asked me to carve a seal for him. This was positive affirmation," Han said. "Praise and criticism are what an artist should learn to handle all his life. Praise is candy and criticism is medicine. We can live without candy, but cannot live without medicine when ill."
Han rose to fame during the early 1960s famous for bird and insect seal art. Han's seals are an essential ending part on the paintings of a long list of well-established artists.
“A seal for a good painting is. like the buttons for an haute couture(高档女子时装).An experienced tailor always knows how to choose buttons that matches the whole style," Han said
His seals are full of variety — grand and solemn for Liu Haisu's paintings, light and vivid for Lu Yanshao's, graceful and gentle for Xie Zhiliu's.
"A good seal carver should keep bis own style, and at the same time go well with the painting's style." he said.
28. What influence did the incident have on Han when he was six?
A. He got injured very seriously.
B. He learned how to use a knife.
C. It aroused his interest in seal carving.
D. It helped him learn how hard life was.
29. Which best describes Han's journey of art exploration?
A. Smooth and fruitful. B. Inspiring and lucky.
C. Boring but worthwhile. D. Tough but rewarding.
30. In Han's opinion what do an experienced tailor and a good seal carver share?
A. The huge respect they earn. B. The flexibility they display at work.
C. The targeted customers they serve. D. The efforts they have to make to succeed.
31. In which section, of a newspaper does this text most probably appear?
A. Education. B. Events.
C. Entertainment. D. People.
D
If you are a fan of medical films then you will know there are emergency helicopter services that will take badly injured patients to hospitals long distances away. You probably also know that in these films most ambulances (救护车) are on wheels and go across city streets where there are fewer traffic jams than in real life.
But now, Israel’s Urban Aeronautics, announced that it made an agreement to work with Hatzolah Air to produce and develop its CityHawk aircraft as an emergency medical service. The CityHawk is small and can fly anywhere and land anywhere, making it able to work in cities above the traffic jam. It has no wings outside and can work even in bad weather conditions.
“We are excited to work with Hatzolah Air on the development of our CityHawk vehicle,” said Rafi Yoeli, CEO of Urban Aeronautics. “Its small size will enable it to land in the middle of a busy city street, making it a perfect fit for medical tasks by greatly reducing the time it takes to arrive on-scene, treat and transport sick or injured patients to medical facilities.”
“One of Hatzolah’s most important goals is to be somewhere within minutes. Unlike helicopters, we can land anywhere within minutes,” Yoeli said. “We will be able to improve the care of patients. They want to be equipped with the best aircraft.” Hatzolah Air’s president Eli Rowe said that he foresees (预测) the possible need for 800 CityHawks since it is a six-passenger vehicle that can carry a pilot, a patient and a team of professionals.
Urban Aeronautics is working on certification (认证) for emergency use of its CityHawk aircraft. The development of the flying ambulance is expected to take up to five years but a model will be ready sooner. A flying ambulance may be coming to a city near you soon.
32. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To give an example of medical rescue.
B. To lead to the topic of the flying ambulance.
C. To show the future market for aircraft medical service.
D. To tell the advantages of emergency medical helicopters.
33. What do we know about the CityHawk?
A. It makes medical tasks in cities more convenient.
B. It will take the place of ambulances on city roads.
C. It is difficult to operate in bad weather conditions.
D. It can carry enough medical supplies immediately.
34. What’s Rafi Yoeli’s attitude towards the development of the CityHawk?
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Surprised.
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The CityHawk has got certification from the government.
B. The CityHawk faces great difficulties to become a reality.
C. The CityHawk draws great attention of hospitals.
D. The CityHawk will come into use in the near future.

Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.
Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.
Among the bag makers’ argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.
The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.
Environmentalists don’t dispute(质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.
24. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?
A. Help increase grocery sales.
B. Recycle the waste material.
C. Stop things falling off trucks.
D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.
25. What does the word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Bans on plastic bags.
B. Effects of city development.
C. Headaches caused by garbage.
D. Plastic bags hung in trees.
26. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?
A. They are quite expensive.
B. Replacing them can be difficult.
C. They are less strong than plastic bags.
D. Producing them requires more energy.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Plastic, Paper or Neither
B. Industry, Pollution and Environment
C. Recycle or Throw Away
D. Garbage Collection and Waste Control
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章分析了几种购物袋的使用情况,塑料袋会造成环境问题,纸袋尽管容易回收,但生产和运输需要更多的能源,环保主义者希望消费者使用耐用可重复使用的袋子。
24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.和第二段中plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.可知,塑料袋生产商雇用Steven Stein是为了证明他们的产品并不像大多数人想象的那样对地球有害,为使用塑料袋进行辩护。故选D。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。上文介绍在许多美国大城市塑料袋被禁用,看到这种现状,塑料袋生产商雇用Steven Stein等科学家是为了证明他们的产品并不像大多数人想象的那样对地球有害。headwinds意为“逆风”,此处指塑料袋被禁用的现状,即Bans on plastic bags,故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make.可知,生产耐用且能重复使用的袋子需要更多的能源,故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。文章讲述了使用塑料袋会造成环境问题,纸袋容易回收,但生产和运输需要更多的能源,环保主义者希望消费者使用耐用可重复使用的袋子。对这三种方式进行了对比,Plastic, Paper or Neither既能概括全文,又能吸引读者,最适合作为标题。故选A。
【点睛】概括主旨的方法是:先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句,若无明显主题句,就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句,要看懂全文的主要内容,明白了主要内容就能准确概括文章标题)。小题4要求概括标题,本文讲述了使用塑料袋造成的环境问题,纸袋容易回收,但生产和运输需要更多的能源,希望消费者使用耐用可重复使用的袋子。对这三种方式进行了对比,Plastic, Paper or Neither既能概括全文,又能吸引读者,适合作为标题。
C
Han Tianheng picked up a carving knife at the age of 6 and never put it down. Today, the 79 year-old artist, one of China's most respected living masters of seal carving(印章雕刻), calligraphy and Chinese painting, still remembers the incident the first time he held a knife in his hand.
“I cut my thumb badly and was horrified by the bloody sight," he said, adding that his mother applied ashes because she couldn't afford to take him to a hospital. "The cut left a scar, which is still clear today."
An eye for an eye and blood for blood, the incident didn't set him back. Instead, it aroused his passion for the ancient art form. He was determined to pursue a path that would lead to a career in seal carving. Han said.
The journey of art exploration was a little bumpy for the young man in his quest for excellence, and his seal works were harshly criticized by a famous old painter.
Most would have crumbled under the criticism, not Han. It made him even more determined. After six months' hard work, he visited the painter again.
"This time, he asked me to carve a seal for him. This was positive affirmation," Han said. "Praise and criticism are what an artist should learn to handle all his life. Praise is candy and criticism is medicine. We can live without candy, but cannot live without medicine when ill."
Han rose to fame during the early 1960s famous for bird and insect seal art. Han's seals are an essential ending part on the paintings of a long list of well-established artists.
“A seal for a good painting is. like the buttons for an haute couture(高档女子时装).An experienced tailor always knows how to choose buttons that matches the whole style," Han said
His seals are full of variety — grand and solemn for Liu Haisu's paintings, light and vivid for Lu Yanshao's, graceful and gentle for Xie Zhiliu's.
"A good seal carver should keep bis own style, and at the same time go well with the painting's style." he said.
28. What influence did the incident have on Han when he was six?
A. He got injured very seriously.
B. He learned how to use a knife.
C. It aroused his interest in seal carving.
D. It helped him learn how hard life was.
29. Which best describes Han's journey of art exploration?
A. Smooth and fruitful. B. Inspiring and lucky.
C. Boring but worthwhile. D. Tough but rewarding.
30. In Han's opinion, what do an experienced tailor and a good seal carver share?
A. The huge respect they earn. B. The flexibility they display at work.
C. The targeted customers they serve. D. The efforts they have to make to succeed.
31. In which section, of a newspaper does this text most probably appear?
A. Education. B. Events.
C. Entertainment. D. People.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了中国篆刻大师韩天衡的生平经历,着重讲述了年少时学习篆刻艺术时克服困难的一些事迹。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Instead, it aroused his passion for the ancient art form.”可知,这次受伤事件不仅没有挫败他,反而激起了他对于篆刻艺术的热情。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The journey of art exploration was a little bumpy for the young man in his quest for excellence”可知,探索艺术的道路是充满波折和困难的,他受到过很多批评,但下文中他最终取得了很高的成就,可见回报也是丰厚的。D选项“艰难但有收获的”符合文意。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段韩的原话“A seal for a good painting is. like the buttons for an haute couture(高档女子时装).An experienced tailor always knows how to choose buttons that matches the whole style”可知,和裁缝一样,印章的篆刻也要求与作品整体的风格相搭配,即每一个作品都要搭配不同风格的印章,B选项在这里理解为“他们展示在作品中的灵活性、适应性”与文意相符。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。文章以“Han Tianheng picked up a carving knife at the age of 6 and never put it down.”这样介绍人物的句子开门见山,且全文都围绕韩天衡的生平经历展开,应该最可能在介绍人物的版块出现。故选D项。
D
If you are a fan of medical films, then you will know there are emergency helicopter services that will take badly injured patients to hospitals long distances away. You probably also know that in these films most ambulances (救护车) are on wheels and go across city streets where there are fewer traffic jams than in real life.
But now, Israel’s Urban Aeronautics, announced that it made an agreement to work with Hatzolah Air to produce and develop its CityHawk aircraft as an emergency medical service. The CityHawk is small and can fly anywhere and land anywhere, making it able to work in cities above the traffic jam. It has no wings outside and can work even in bad weather conditions.
“We are excited to work with Hatzolah Air on the development of our CityHawk vehicle,” said Rafi Yoeli, CEO of Urban Aeronautics. “Its small size will enable it to land in the middle of a busy city street, making it a perfect fit for medical tasks by greatly reducing the time it takes to arrive on-scene, treat and transport sick or injured patients to medical facilities.”
“One of Hatzolah’s most important goals is to be somewhere within minutes. Unlike helicopters, we can land anywhere within minutes,” Yoeli said. “We will be able to improve the care of patients. They want to be equipped with the best aircraft.” Hatzolah Air’s president Eli Rowe said that he foresees (预测) the possible need for 800 CityHawks since it is a six-passenger vehicle that can carry a pilot, a patient and a team of professionals.
Urban Aeronautics is working on certification (认证) for emergency use of its CityHawk aircraft. The development of the flying ambulance is expected to take up to five years but a model will be ready sooner. A flying ambulance may be coming to a city near you soon.
32. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To give an example of medical rescue.
B. To lead to the topic of the flying ambulance.
C. To show the future market for aircraft medical service.
D. To tell the advantages of emergency medical helicopters.
33. What do we know about the CityHawk?
A. It makes medical tasks in cities more convenient.
B. It will take the place of ambulances on city roads.
C. It is difficult to operate in bad weather conditions.
D. It can carry enough medical supplies immediately.
34. What’s Rafi Yoeli’s attitude towards the development of the CityHawk?
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Surprised.
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The CityHawk has got certification from the government.
B. The CityHawk faces great difficulties to become a reality.
C. The CityHawk draws great attention of hospitals.
D. The CityHawk will come into use in the near future.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. D

You probably also know that in these films most ambulances are on wheels and go across city streets where there are fewer traffic jams than in real life.”(如果你是医疗电影的粉丝,那么你就会知道有紧急直升机服务,可以把严重受伤的病人送到很远的医院。你可能也知道,在这些电影中,大多数救护车都是有轮子的,穿过城市街道,那里的交通堵塞比现实生活中要少。)以及第二段第一句“But now, Israel’s Urban Aeronautics, announced that it made an agreement to work with Hatzolah Air to produce and develop its CityHawk aircraft as an emergency medical service.”(但现在,以色列城市航空公司(Urban Aeronautics)宣布与哈卓拉航空公司(Hatzolah Air)达成协议,生产和开发“城市鹰”(CityHawk)飞机,作为紧急医疗服务。)故可推知,第一段的作用是引出飞行救护车的话题。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The CityHawk is small and can fly anywhere and land anywhere, making it able to work in cities above the traffic jam. It has no wings outside and can work even in bad weather conditions.”(“城市鹰”无人机体积小,可以在任何地方飞行和降落,使其能够在交通拥堵以上的城市工作。它在外面没有翅膀,即使在恶劣的天气条件下也能工作。)可知,关于“城市鹰”我们知道,它使城市的医疗任务更加方便。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“We are excited to work with Hatzolah Air on the development of our CityHawk vehicle,” said Rafi Yoeli, CEO of Urban Aeronautics. “Its small size will enable it to land in the middle of a busy city street, making it a perfect fit for medical tasks by greatly reducing the time it takes to arrive on-scene, treat and transport sick or injured patients to medical facilities.””(rban Aeronautics公司首席执行官Rafi Yoeli表示:“我们很高兴能与Hatzolah航空公司合作开发CityHawk飞行器。“它的小尺寸使它能够降落在繁忙的城市街道中间,大大缩短了到达现场、治疗和将生病或受伤的病人运送到医疗机构的时间,使它非常适合执行医疗任务。”)故可推知,Rafi Yoeli对“城市鹰”的发展持积极肯定的态度。故选C项。

推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The development of the flying ambulance is expected to take up to five years but a model will be ready sooner. A flying ambulance may be coming to a city near you soon.”(飞行救护车的开发预计需要5年时间,但模型将很快准备就绪。一辆飞行救护车可能很快就会来到你附近的城市。)可知,从最后一段我们能推断出,“城市鹰”将在不久的将来投入使用。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者与继母第一次见面,继母想与她拥抱的故事。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:我第一次见到她是在我搬到美国的时候。分析句子可知,meet (见面)是句中谓语动词,与主语I之间是主动关系,根据句中时间状语从句when I moved to America可知,应使用一般过去时态。故填met。
【62题详解】
考查序数词。句意:那天晚上,在我上床睡觉前,她来到我的房间,那是属于我自己的第一个房间。根据句意“第一个房间”和空格前定冠词the可知,应用序数词first作定语,修饰名词room,表示“第一个”。故填first。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:她告诉我她很高兴有我,她会好好照顾我。take good care of为固定短语,意为“照顾好……”。故填of。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:她要我拥抱她一下,但我不知道“hug”是什么意思。“hug”一词在前文已经出现,再次提到,应用定冠词the限定,特指。故填the。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:看着她,我不知道该怎么办。分析句子可知,“(look) at her”是伴随状语,look是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语I之间是主动关系,所以应用现在分词表示主动和伴随,另外,句首单词首字母大写。故填Looking。
【66题详解】
考查连词。句意:但她没有放弃。根据句意可知,虽然“我”不知道怎么办,但继母没有放弃,上下文有转折关系,用连词but,句首单词首字母大写。故填But。
【67题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她把我父亲叫进房间,让他向我解释她的意思。ask sb. to do...为固定搭配,意为“叫某人做某事”,用不定式作宾语补足语。故填to explain。
【68题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:当他这么做的时候,我看着我的新继母,想知道她为什么想要拥抱我。分析句子,“she wanted to hug me”是宾语从句,空格处是从句引导词,结合下文继母解释为什么要“我”抱她可知,父亲问的是原因,用连接副词why引导该宾语从句。故填why。
【69题详解】
考查代词。句意:然后她告诉我,那是因为她爱我,当你爱别人的时候,你会拥抱他们。提示词在句中作宾语,用宾语形式them。故填them。
【70题详解】
考查名词。句意:于是她张开双臂,我也怯懦地张开双臂,我们拥抱在一起。结合句意和常识,张开“双臂”,用复数名词。故填arms。

Tom is a little boy. He lives next to my door.

After an while, I called his mother but told her what had happened. Soon Tom finished his homeworks. Since it is still early, I decided to play chess with him.

4.an→a
5.but→and
6.homeworks→homework
7.is→was
8.play→playing
9.wonderfully→wonderful
10.去掉of
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者上星期一放学回家,看到邻居小朋友Tom坐在楼梯,原来他丢失了钥匙。作者邀请他去家里,照顾他,Tom的母亲回家后向作者表示了感谢。
【详解】1.考查动词时态。根据上文yesterday可知应用一般过去时。故arrive改为arrived。
2.考查介词。句意:他告诉我他把钥匙丢了,所以我邀请他到我家来。结合句意表示“邀请某人到……”短语为invite sb. to…。故him后添加to。
3.考查代词。句意:然后他开始写他的作业。根据第一段中Tom is a little boy.可知Tom是个男孩,故应用his。故her改为his。
4.考查冠词。句意:过了一会儿,我打电话给他妈妈,告诉她发生了什么事。表示“过了一会儿”短语为after a while。故an改为a。
5.考查连词。句意同上。结合上下文语境可知前后文为承接关系,故应用连词and。故but改为and。
6.考查名词。homework为不可数名词,没有复数形式。故homeworks改为homework。
7.考查动词时态。事情发生在昨天,故应用一般过去时。故is改为was。
8.考查非谓语动词。上文at为介词,后跟动名词作宾语。故play改为playing。
9.考查形容词。修饰后文名词time应用名词wonderful,短语have a wonderful time表示“玩的开心”。故wonderfully改为wonderful。
10.考查固定短语。句意:后来,汤姆的妈妈回到家,非常感谢我。此处修饰动词thank应用a lot,a lot of用于修饰名词,故去掉of。

【答案】Dear Kate,
How are you recently? I am delighted to receive your last letter, in which you asked about our sports meeting held last month. I am overjoyed to share with you about it since I took an active part in it.
The sports meeting was scheduled on April 14 and 15, lasting two days. We had a spectacular opening ceremony. More than 400 students performed the Ghost Walk dance together, which aroused waves of cheers and applause all the way. During the sports meeting, what impressed me most was the moment when we witnessed their love and support. One runner fell down suddenly, another one beside him stopped to pick him up, and then the two rushed to the finishing line together. All the spectators gave them a big thumb.
From the meeting, I truly have a thorough understanding of the well-famed saying that unity is power. I also get a message that nothing can defeat you as long as you stick to the end.
I wish you all the best.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
