Molina,during his 34 years as a sanitation worker (环卫工人),gave these items a second life.Molina grew up in a housing project with his parents and five other kids in the family and had a habit of picking up unused items at a young age."My family was poor,so we didn't get much for Christmas," he said."I'd go out to look for a toy for my sisters,maybe a truck for my brothers." He kept his early morning habit secret from his friends,but not out of embarrassment:"I didn't want the competition."On the job,Molina had his sixth sense for finding items."I could tell,sometimes just by the sound,whether a bag was filled with bottles or a different kind of glass," he said.He kept special finds on the truck,and then put them in out-of-the-way places in the sanitation garage.After almost 10 years,he began showing his discoveries."It's not a normal practice."said NYC Department of Sanitation assistant chief Keith Mellis.Recently,a team of New York University students has taken on the task of cataloging (分类)the tens of thousands of objects,in hopes that the collection,which has hardly been open to the public,might one day be shown in an official sanitation museum.4.Why did Molina go to the garage?______A. To listen to music.B. To clean the space.C. To keep items he collected.D. To get items strangers threw away.5.Molina was worried that if his friends knew his morning habits,they would ______ .A. stop himB. join in himC. make fun of himD. take away his items6.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?______A. Molina had done something meaningful.B. Molina had difficulty collecting the items.C. Molina didn't want to show his discoveries.D. Molina planned to build a museum for unused items.7.What's the best title for the text?______A. Rich and Poor.B. Lost and Found.C. A Different Garage.D. A Sanitation Worker's Dream.【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】B 【小题3】A 【小题4】B【解析】1.C.细节题.根据文章第三段内容,He kept special finds on the truck,and then put them in out-of-the-way places in the sanitation garage.他把自己在工作时捡到的物品放在卡车上,然后把它们放在环卫车库的偏僻地方.故Molina 去车库是为了放他收集的物品.结合选项,故选C.2.B.细节题.根据文章第二段内容,He kept his early morning habit secret from his friends,but not out of embarrassment:"I didn't want the competition."他对朋友们保密他早起的习惯,但并不是出于尴尬:"我不想参加比赛."即他不想让他的朋友也参与到收集物品的行列中来,结合选项,故选B.3.A.推理题.根据文章最后一段内容,Recently,a team of New York University students has taken on the task of cataloging (分类)the tens of thousands of objects,in hopes that the collection,which has hardly been open to the public,might one day be shown in an official sanitation museum.最近,一个由纽约大学学生组成的小组承担了对数万件物品进行分类的任务,希望这些几乎不向公众开放的收藏品有朝一日能在一家官方卫生博物馆展出.由此可知,Molina的小小的无意的行为是具有一定的社会意义的,让人们能够在博物馆看到这些曾经被丢弃的物品,也可以提醒人们减少丢弃,减少污染.结合选项,故选A.4.B.主旨题.根据文章内容,本文章主要讲述了Molina这个环卫工人,在工作的几十年来都有收集废旧物品的习惯,收集了数万件物品,告诉人们他人丢弃的废物可能成为他人有用的物品.结合选项,故选B.本文章主要讲述了Molina这个环卫工人,在工作的几十年来都有收集废旧物品的习惯,收集了数万件物品,告诉人们他人丢弃的废物可能成为他人有用的物品.做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.CPeople have understood that kindness is good for the person who receives help.For example,when we give food to a hungry person,he is blessed.However,scientists have recently begun to study the effect kindness has on the person giving it.What they have found is that doing good is good for the doer.Acts of kindness can improve health,help a person reach goals and even add years to a person's life.The first study to show the connection between doing good and living a long life was a study on aging.Beginning in 1956,scientists studied a group of married mothers for 30 years.They thought the women with the most children would die first.But the number of children a woman had did not matter.Wealth did not matter.Education did not matter.What did matter was whether they volunteered.Women that volunteered had fewer diseases during their life.Many other studies have found the same positive effects.Helping other people improves long-term health.The gains are the same for men,women,old people and the young.Those who volunteered had fewer serious diseases than those who did not volunteer.This included diseases such as heart attack,cancer and stroke.Scientists are researching many possible causes.One possible cause is an increase in antibodies (抗体),which help fight against disease.One study showed the body produces more antibodies after an act of kindness.This increase in antibodies can last nearly an hour after one act of kindness is finished.Another one is an increase in a chemical that fights the effects of stress from life.Scientists have found a link between being kind to people and an increase in the chemical oxytocin.Oxytocin is a chemical produced in the brain.It reduces many of the harmful chemicals the body produces under stress.8.What did the study in Paragraph 2show?______A. Diseases age people fast.B. Doing good is good for one's health.C. Women with more kids die earlier.D. A long marriage leads to a long life.9.What can we infer about antibodies from Paragraph 4?______A. More antibodies may not be good.B. They help people reduce pressure.C. They increase with one's kind acts.D. The more antibodies,the more oxytocin.10.How does the author develop the last two paragraphs?______A. By explaining the causes.B. By making comparisons.C. By introducing a method.D. By describing a chemical.11.What's the main idea of the text?______A. Everyone needs to be cared for.B. Happiness is connected with kindness.C. Try your best to help someone in need.D. Helping others means helping yourself.【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】C 【小题3】A 【小题4】D【解析】答案:1-4BCAD1.B.细节理解题.根据第二段Women that volunteered had fewer diseases during their life.可知自愿的妇女在她们的一生中患的疾病较少.由此可见,行善有益健康.故选B.2.C.细节理解题.根据第四段内容可知,科学家们正在研究许多可能的原因.一个可能的原因是抗体(antibodies)的增加,这有助于对抗疾病.一项研究表明,身体在一次善举之后产生更多的抗体.这种抗体的增加可以在一次善举结束后持续近一个小时.由此可见,抗体会随着一个人的善行而增加.故选C.3.A.推理判断题.根据最后两段内容可知,科学家们正在研究许多可能的原因.一个可能的原因是抗体(antibodies)的增加,这有助于对抗疾病.另一个原因是抗生活压力的化学物质的增加.由此可见,最后两段作者通过解释原因来展开.故选A.4.D.主旨大意题.根据这篇文章内容可知,本文主要讲述了科学家发现不仅仁慈对给予食物的人的影响而且行善对行善的人是有益的,换一句话来说,帮助别人就是帮助自己.故选D.本文主要讲述了科学家发现不仅仁慈对给予食物的人的影响而且行善对行善的人是有益的,换一句话来说,帮助别人就是帮助自己.考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.DOutside,it's a cold winter's day.Inside a large shopping center,people are hanging around.But then,without warning,a pop song starts to play loudly.A teenager boy walks lazily to the center of the open space,and dances crazily to the music.He's joined by two of his friends,then some of the old people.Within the space of a few seconds,more than sixty people are dancing to the music - all in time and all in step.At first,onlookers are baffled,then they start smiling and clapping.They now know what they're seeing:a flash mob (快闪).According to Wikipedia,the term "flash mob" was created by Bill Wasik,an editor at Harper's Magazine,in 2003.Within a year,the phrase had entered the Concise Oxford English Dictionary.Since then,hundreds - possibly thousands - of flashmobs have been carried out around the world,in almost every kind of public space imaginable!Each flash mob has its own style,but most flash mobs follow a similar formula (方案).Often,the organizers search for willing participants using social media.Instructions and dance moves are given through email or video download.There are usually several rehearsals (排练)before the big day.While it's happening,a few lucky passers-by watch it live.Most people who watch it,however,will see it later online.Some of the most popular flash mobs on YouTube have been watched more than 10million times.A famous example is MP3Experiment Eight,a flash mob that took place in New York City in July 2011 with over 3,500 participants.This event differed from normal flash mobs in that much of it was completely silent - and there were no rehearsals.Flash mobs provide the participants,onlookers and online viewers with a lot of enjoyment and pleasure.For this reason alone,they're a modern,popular art form that should be celebrated.12.What does the underlined word "baffled" in Paragraph 1 mean?______A. Excited.B. Puzzled.C. Satisfied.D. Disappointed.13.Why does the author mention the Concise Oxford English Dictionary?______A. To argue against Bill Wasik.B. To compare it with Wikipedia.C. To explain the meaning of "flash mob".D. To show the rapid development of flash mobs.14.What is special about MP3Experiment Eight?______A. It was played online.B. It was the earliest flash mob.C. It was played with no sound.D. It was most accepted by the audience.15.What is the author's opinion on flash mobs?______A. Supportive.B. Hopeless.C. Uncaring.D. Doubtful.【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】D 【小题3】C 【小题4】A【解析】(1)---(4)BDCA(1).B.细节理解题.根据第一段倒数第二句At first, onlookers are baffled, then they start smiling and clapping (起初,旁观者们很好奇,之后他们开始露出笑容鼓掌.)可知,baffle是"困惑,迷惑"之意.故选B.(2).D.推理判断题.根据第二段According to Wikipedia, the term "flash mob" was created by Bill Wasik, an editor at Harper's Magazine, in 2003. Within a year, the phrase had entered the Concise Oxford English Dictionary(根据维基,"快闪"一词是Bill Wasik在2003原创的.不到一年的功夫,这个词就进入到了简明牛津英语词典)可知,作者之所以提到Concise Oxford English Dictionary是要说明,"快闪"一词发展的如此之快,故选D.(3).C.推理判断题.根据第四段第四五句 A famous example is MP3Experiment Eight, a flash mob that took place in New York City in July 2011 with over 3,500 participants. This event differed from normal flash mobs in that much of it was completely silent (一个著名的例句就是MP3Experiment Eight,它是2011年在纽约出现的.它不同于常规的快闪因为它很多都是完全无声的)可知,MP3Experiment Eight的特殊之处是它是无声的,故选C.(4).A.推理判断题.根据文章最后一句 For this reason alone, they're a modern, popular art form that should be celebrated(单单由于这一个原因,他们就是一种现代的通俗的应该被祝贺的艺术形式)可知,作者对"快闪"的态度是支持的,故选A.文章介绍了一种新的艺术形式---快闪.根据维基,"快闪"一词是Bill Wasik在2003原创的.不到一年的功夫,这个词就进入到了简明牛津英语词典.快闪族是都市时尚文化中的一种,是一种现代的通俗的应该被祝贺的艺术形式.英语阅读理解的步骤:第一遍:阅读的第一遍是非常重要的.这一遍讲究的是速度与技巧.先用最快的时间将题迅速扫一遍,了解你需要回答什么,做到一会儿阅读时心中有数.这个时候你就可以胸有成竹地进行第一遍阅读.在第一遍阅读时不要求精,只要求速度.同时在这一遍中,关于文章的主旨等宏观方面的问题就可以解决了.第二遍:这一遍是文章的精读过程,一般采用随看随做的方法,也就是说,每当你阅读完一段内容,就可以到下面去看看有没有与之相关的问题,同时趁着对该段文章的熟悉去做题.如此下去,在你精读完之后,题也就做完了.第三遍:这一遍一般放在最后的检查时阅读,一般以你的时间是否充足来决定.检查一般要注意文章的细节,不要因为疏忽出错.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)The coffee storyKaldi was tired but he couldn't sleep.His goats were awake and very noisy."Why can't they sleep?"Kaldi thought.(1) They were eating some green plants with little red fruits on them.Kaldi decided to taste the fruits.He ate the soft part of each fruit and the hard things in the centre.(2) He was not tired.He felt more awake and did not want to sleep.Those hard things were coffee beans,and Kaldi discovered them in Ethiopia more than 1,000 years ago.(3) Perhaps it is true,perhaps not.Nobody knows.But we know that coffee grew first in Ethiopia,and we know that somebody discovered it there more than 1,000 years ago.(4) Arab farmers began to grow coffee plants.People learnt to make a drink from the beans,and they called it qahwa.For 400 years,only the Arabs knew about qahwa.Then people in Turkey learnt about it.Soon after that,western Europeans began to drink it,and in 1652 the first coffee shop in London opened.(5) Some famous coffee-growing countries are Brazil,Colombia,Indonesia and,of course,Ethiopia Coffee is one of the world's favourite drinks thanks to Kaldi and his goats.A.At least that's the traditional story.B.After a minute he began to feel different.C.Many Arab farmers grew coffee to make money.D.Now farmers grow coffee in many parts of the world.E.Coffee was such an important drink during that time period.F.He couldn't understand the problem so he watched the animals carefully.G.After that,Arab travelers took coffee plants to Egypt and other Arab countries.16.

“Hey! Don’t do that,” my dad warned her. “There are some really valuable things in that box.” “Oh. Well, how about this one?” She moved swiftly over to another box and looked my way again. “We should push it together!” “No, no, no!” my dad said, then pulled her up by the arm. “Why don’t you run along home? Your mother’s probably wondering where you are.” “Oh, my mom knows where I am. She said it was fine.” Then she pointed across the street and said, “We just live right over there.” My father looked to where she was pointing and sighed(叹息), “Oh, boy.” Then he looked at me and winked(眨眼) as he said, “Bryce, isn’t it time for you to go inside and help your mother?” I knew right off what that meant, and man, he didn’t have to wink twice. I smiled and said, “Sure thing!” then jumped off the liftgate and headed for my new front door. I heard her coming after me but I couldn’t believe it. Maybe it just sounded like she was running after me; maybe she was really going other way. But before I took up the courage to look, she ran right past me, grabbed my arm and fiercely pulled me along. This was too much. I stopped running and was about to tell her to get lost when the weirdest(诡异的) thing happened. I was making this big circle move to break away from her, but somehow my hand ended up

Molina,during his 34 years as a sanitation worker (环卫工人),gave these items a second life.Molina grew up in a housing project with his parents and five other kids in the family and had a habit of picking up unused items at a young age."My family was poor,so we didn't get much for Christmas," he said."I'd go out to look for a toy for my sisters,maybe a truck for my brothers." He kept his early morning habit secret from his friends,but not out of embarrassment:"I didn't want the competition."On the job,Molina had his sixth sense for finding items."I could tell,sometimes justby the sound,whether a bag was filled with bottles or a different kind of glass," he said.He kept special finds on the truck,and then put them in out-of-the-way places in the sanitation garage.After almost 10 years,he began showing his discoveries."It's not a normal practice."said NYC Department of Sanitation assistant chief Keith Mellis.Recently,a team of New York University students has taken on the task of cataloging (分类)the tens of thousands of objects,in hopes that the collection,which has hardly been open to the public,might one day be shown in an official sanitation museum.4.Why did Molina go to the garage?______A.To listen to music.B.To clean the space.C.To keep items he collected.D.To get items strangers threw away.5.Molina was worried that if his friends knew his morning habits,they would ______ .A.stop him B.join in himC.make fun of him D.take away his items6.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?______A.Molina had done something meaningful.B.Molina had difficulty collecting the items.C.Molina didn't want to show his discoveries.D.Molina planned to build a museum for unused items.7.What's the best title for the text?______A.Rich and Poor.B.Lost and Found.C.A Different Garage.D.A Sanitation Worker's Dream.People have understood that kindness is good for the person who receives help.For example,when we give food to a hungry person,he is blessed.However,scientists have recently begun to study the effect kindness has on the person giving it.What they have found is that doing good is good for the doer.Acts of kindness can improve health,help a person reach goals and even add years to a person's life.The first study to show the connection between doing good and living a long life was a study on aging.Beginning in 1956,scientists studied a group of married mothers for 30 years.They thought the women with the most children would die first.But the number of children a woman had did not matter.Wealth did not matter.Education did notmatter.What did matter was whether they volunteered.Women that volunteered had fewer diseases during their life.Many other studies have found the same positive effects.Helping other people improves long-term health.The gains are the same for men,women,old people and the young.Those who volunteered had fewer serious diseases than those who did not volunteer.This included diseases such as heart attack,cancer and stroke.Scientists are researching many possible causes.One possible cause is an increase in antibodies (抗体),which help fight against disease.One study showed the body produces more antibodies after an act of kindness.This increase in antibodies can last nearly an hour after one act of kindness is finished.Another one is an increase in a chemical that fights the effects of stress from life.Scientists have found a link between being kind to people and an increase in the chemical oxytocin.Oxytocin is a chemical produced in the brain.It reduces many of the harmful chemicals the body produces under stress.8.What did the study in Paragraph 2show?______A.Diseases age people fast.B.Doing good is good for one's health.C.Women with more kids die earlier.D.A long marriage leads to a long life.9.What can we infer about antibodies from Paragraph 4?______A.More antibodies may not be good.B.They help people reduce pressure.C.They increase with one's kind acts.D.The more antibodies,the more oxytocin.10.How does the author develop the last two paragraphs?______A.By explaining the causes.B.By making comparisons.C.By introducing a method.D.By describing a chemical.11.What's the main idea of the text?______A.Everyone needs to be cared for.B.Happiness is connected with kindness.C.Try your best to help someone in need.D.Helping others means helping yourself.Outside,it's a cold winter's day.Inside a large shopping center,people are hanging around.But then,without warning,a pop song starts to play loudly.A teenager boy walks lazily to the center of the open space,and dances crazily to the music.He's joined by two of his friends,then some of the old people.Within the space of a few seconds,more than sixty people are dancing to the music - all in time and all in step.At first,onlookers are baffled,then they start smiling and clapping.They now know what they're seeing:a flash mob (快闪).According to Wikipedia,the term "flash mob" was created by Bill Wasik,an editor at Harper's Magazine,in 2003.Within a year,the phrase had entered the Concise Oxford English Dictionary.Since then,hundreds -

wait,a fisherwoman,yes that’s the correct term I believe.But not muchof one,if I can be honest.I do my best though.During lunch,I like to sit on the boat dock,and, you guessed it,fish.I don’t eat fish,just for fun,and when I do catch one,I just look at them a minute or two,swell up with pride,and throw them back in.Surely that was a big day for me.When I snatched up my fishing pole,and started reeling(收线)the line in,my heart was filled with expectation.I had a vision come to mind,taking that big fish up to the house in a big bucket of water,and show off in front of my boy.That big fish had gotten himself snagged(勾住)in the weeds on the opposite bank,and I could tell he was a big one,probably my biggest catch ever.I felt him pull,and twist,but no matter how I tried,I couldn’t get him reeled in.Not wanting to hurt the big one,I paddled(划桨)to the opposite bank of the river,while reeling my line in,and came up alongside the weeds he was snagged under.I could feel him pulling on my line.He was big and strong.I just hoped he wasn’t too big to get into my boat.I was going to show my fisherman son a thing or two today,I just knew it.My heart beat with excitement,maybe I could get the boy to take a picture of me with my catch of the day.If it’s big enough,maybe I’ll even make the paper.I finally worked the line free of the weeds,and pulled the big boy up from the water to come meet his momma.My blood ran cold at the horror which came up out of that water instead.The biggest,meanest,ugliest snake I’d ever seen in my life come out of that water,with my fishhook in his mouth,opening wide up.I screamed bloody murder,let go of that line,fell back into the seat of the boat and paddled backward as if my life depended on it.I might have paddled all the way to the Gulf of Mexico if I’d had enough river to get away from that scaled man-eater.I don’t remember how fast I got out of that boat,but it was real fast.My hands shaking,I called my boy to come down and help me out.I’d finally caught a big one.25.Why would the author go fishing?A.Because she likes eating fish.B.Because she is a fisherwoman.C.Because her family lives on fish.D.Because fishing is one of her

material in13 years.Lead guitarist Pete Townshend said in a statement that fans could expect“dark Jazz,heavy rock stuff,experimental electronica,sampled stuff and Who-ish tunes that began with a guitar that goes wild”.The album is due later this year.It follows the band’s11th studio album,Endless Wire, released in2006,which included a10-part mini-opera.Guardian music critic Alexis Petridis described it as“a fitting ending to the band’s career”.The group has also made fun of details of a US orchestral tour.Lead singer Roger Daltrey said of the tour:“Be aware Who fans!That just because it’s the Who with an orchestra,in no way will it give up the way Pete and I deliver our music.This will be full-energy Who with horns and bells on.”Daltrey,74,has said it could be his last tour.“I have to be realistic that this is the age I am and voices start to go after a while,”he told the Mirror.“I don’t want to be not as good as I was two years ago.”The group previously suggested that a Las Vegas village in2017would be the start of their“long goodbye”.Townshend,73,had said he would be devoted to the tour only if they had new material.“This has nothing to do with wanting a hit album or the fact the Who need a new album.It’s purely personal.It’s about my pride,my sense of self-worth and self-dignity(自尊)as a writer.”The pair communicate through their management.Daltrey told the Mirror,“Townshendwanted a year off,so I haven’t spoken to him for a year.That is how we are.He needs that time away.”He added,“For us it is music to fight to and if it ever loses that fighting edge–which still exists between Pete and I–then I will stop.Because then I will be cheating my audience.”29.The typical style of the Who band is probably.A.orchestraB.classicalC.electonicaD.rock30.The

say is responsible for thousands of early deaths each year.Officials at City Hall were due to meet on Tuesday to examine how best to roll out a ban across specific areas of the capital on different days this year—with“more ambitious plans”in the preparation for2019.A spokeswoman for the mayor,Sadiq Khan,said:“He is determined to do everything in his power to protect the health of Londoners and improve walking,cycling and public transport and reduce Londoners’dependency on polluting cars.”A source at City Hall said details were still being hammered out but they were hoping to introduce separate car-free days in London city this year,with the hope for city-wide car-free days next year.“The mayor already supports a number of car-limited days for annual events in London,and he has asked City Hall officials to consider additional opportunities for car-free activities as part of his healthy streets vision,”said the spokesman.“Solving toxic(有毒的)emissions from the most polluting cars is a key part of the hard-hitting measures the mayor has introduced to help clean up London’s air,from delivering the Toxicity-Charge(T-Charge)in central London,to the early introduction of the Ultra-Low Emission Zone,and transforming the bus fleet.”Bridget Fox,from Campaign for Better Transport,one of50organizations which wrote to Khan to call on him to sign up to a car-free day earlier this year,said,“creating traffic free spaces, even for a day,transforms places for the better.Hopefully,car-free days are a great way to cut traffic across London.We hope every community in the capital will be inspired to take part.”33.What caused thousands of early deaths according to London officials?A.Car-free days in London.B.Poor air problem in the city.C.Financial crisis of the
