2.People around the world drink about 180 billion liters of soda a year. That translates to more than 29 liters per person. Experts say the amount of carbonated soft drinks we consume(消费) is growing. New research from the American Heart Association finds that drinking soda, even diet soda, may significantly increase your risk for heart disease. Dr. Ramachandran Vasan led the study. "Drinking just one or more sodas a day may not be as innocuous as people think."
In a large study of 9,000 people, doctors discovered that those who drank one or more sodas a day had a 30% increased risk for obesity(肥胖), a 25% increase in the risk for abnormal(非正常的) blood sugar levels, and a 32% increase in the odds of having low levels of good cholesterol(胆固醇).
All of these factors increase the risk for heart disease. And there was no difference in the results for those who drank diet soda over regular soda. It’s something that surprised even the researchers.
Critics of the study say diet soda may not be the cause of increased risk of heart disease. Connie Diekman is president of the American Dietetic Association. "It does not conclusively say that this will cause that."
In other words, it could be that unhealthy people like soda. Dr. Vasan found those who drink soda generally tend to have greater caloric intake. They eat more saturated fat and trans fats. They also eat less fiber and exercise less. Diet soda drinkers may also share this unhealthy lifestyle. Dr. Vasan agrees that the link he found between heart disease risk and diet soda needs additional study.
【1】What does the underlined word “innocuous” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A．popular.B．harmless.C．effective.D．risky.
【2】 According to the study, which of the following is true?
A．Only people who overdrink sodas have high risk for heart disease.
B．In the study, about one quarter of people have high blood level.
C．Both regular and diet sodas can probably increase the risk for heart disease.
D．Dr. Vasan is the leader of the American Heart Association.
【3】 What can be inferred from the passage above?
A．All the experts agree with the results of the study.
B．Sodas of any kind are certain to increase the risk for heart disease.
C．People have expected the results of the research.
D．More studies are needed to prove the results.
【4】How does the writer present the passage?
A．By comparing opinions.B．By giving advice.
C．By showing facts.D．By discussing information.
三、阅读理解
1."When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I survived at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood. The happy childhood is hardly worth your while. "Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood. And worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood." That was Frank McCourt reading the opening lines of his book Angela's Ashes, released in 1996.
This Irish American author best known for the Pulitzer Prize-winning autobiography Angela's Ashes that recorded his poor upbringing, died of cancer on Sunday, The New York Times reported. He was 78.
Born in New York City, he was the eldest of the seven children born to Irish immigrant parents. Angela's Ashes was a memoir(回忆录)that captured an irresponsible, drunkard(酒鬼)father with a gift for story-telling. When not drunk, his father was absent, turning his back on a family so poor, McCourt wrote, that they were reduced to burning the furniture in their rented hut to keep warm. His mother struggled to raise her many children after his father left the family.
In Angela's Ashes, he wrote of hunger, a home flooded with rainwater and the unbearable humiliation(耻辱)of seeking handouts from charities in the Irish city. But he told the story in a way that is expressive, warm and light-hearted.
Frank McCourt left Ireland at the age of 19 to return to New York City where he was born. He earned a degree in English education and taught creative writing for nearly thirty years. After retiring in 1987, he decided to write about his childhood. "Angela's Ashes" became a huge success and brought McCourt a 1997 Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award and other honors. Millions of copies of the book were sold worldwide and it was adapted into a 1999 movie starring Emily Watson and Robert Carlyle.
【1】In the first paragraph, by saying "The happy childhood is hardly worth your while", the writer really means that ________.
A．a lot of readers don't deserve happy childhood
B．his childhood is not worth of others' sympathy
C．his childhood is mixed with happiness and misery
D．smooth childhood surely will not draw readers' attention
【2】From the passage, we know Frank McCourt's father is ________.
A．humorous and trustworthy
B．alcohol-addicted but loves his family
C．poor but warm-hearted
D．irresponsible but gifted in telling stories
【3】Which of the statements about the book “Angela’s Ashes” is right?
A．This book is intended to show respect to McCourt’s father.
B．The author wrote the book in a sad and serious tone(语调).
C．The book enjoyed great popularity after it came out.
D．The author got two awards because of the book.
【4】 What's the text mainly about?

D．A comment on Frank McCourt's life experience.

3.A farm planted levels or floors is called a vertical(垂直的)farm. A skyscraper type building can house a vertical farm. Since the garden is built upwards，rather than outwards，it requires much less space than a conventional farm.
The world is quickly running out of room for conventional farming. Vertical farms could be a key to this situation. An 18-story vertical farm could feed as many as 50,000 people，all in an area which is the size of the average city block. Vertical farms in the city could cut down on transportation costs as well. Think about the amount of fuel it takes to transport food from farmland to city. The resources saved would be surprising. Besides saving travel time，food would be delivered in fresher condition and with less damage.
There is a growing concern about the use of pesticides(杀虫剂) in agriculture today. But the vertical farm would be a greenhouse type environment, avoiding the need for a large number of pesticides. Vertical farms can be built in a contained space，therefore they are an excellent solution for living well in an environment far different from our own. Hydroponics(水耕法) could be a big part of vertical gardening. This would reduce the amount of soil needed to grow food. Of course，not all food does well with this type of planting，but there are many crops that actually seem to do better.
In some climates，a lack of sunlight creates a short growing season. The solar power option may not work as well here. The addition of grow lights would make it possible to grow crops in vertical gardens in these areas .In other words，we could grow crops in areas where we never could before.
Vertical farms may just be a concept for now，but they are a concept that will solve many of our problems in the future.
【1】According to the passage, a vertical farm ________.
A．is mainly built outwards
B．is dependent on solar power
C．is planted on levels upwards
D．is only an environmental friendly farm
【2】Compared to the conventional farm, the vertical farm can ________.
A．depend far less on sunlight
B．greatly increase the use of soil
C．help to protect the limited gardens
D．reduce the harmful effect of pesticides
【3】 It can be learned from the passage that vertical farms ________.
A．have already been put into use
B．only use hydroponics to grow food
C．need less room than conventional farms
D．may increase the transportation costs
【4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Vertical farms for our future
B．Ways to deal with future problems
C．Vertical farms and green skyscrapers
D．Making full use of our limited land
4.The National Park Service in the United States will mark its one hundredth anniversary in 2016. As it nears its second century, the Park Service plans to increase its educational programs for students and teachers.
The plans include transportation support for one hundred thousand students each year to visit national parks to learn about nature and history. Yellowstone is believed to have been the world's first national park when it was established in 1872. Other students will get a chance to see parks in faraway places through Skype and other online programs.
The National Park Service also works with partners to provide education. One of its partners is a nonprofit organization called NatureBridge. NatureBridge is celebrating its fortieth anniversary and says one million young people have taken part in its programs. The organization works with students from kindergarten through twelfth
grade and uses national parks as its classrooms. It provides field science programs at Yosemite National Park and four other locations in California and the northwestern state of Washington.
Now, NatureBridge is launching an East Coast center with a four-million-dollar grant from Google. The program will begin in April at the Prince William Forest Park in Virginia. Students stay for three to five days in NatureBridge programs. The activities are aimed at developing their science skills. For example, they learn about different soils and study water quality under a microscope.
Jason Morris is executive vice president of NatureBridge. He says when they are not sleeping, eating or in a laboratory, the students spend their time outdoors. Julia Washburn is associate director of education and interpretation for the National Park Service. She says in a time of budget cuts, the agency has to find ways to still meet its goals. Ms. Washburn says one of the most important services that the Park Service provides every day is nature interpretation. Park rangers (公园管理员) try to make visiting the outdoors more meaningful. Interpretation is a form of informal education. Essentially, it is a word that we use for the people in parks that explain the park or help orient(确定方向)you. So park rangers are interpreters. They orient you to the place you are in and help you make connections, emotional and intellectual connections, with the place.
【1】Which of the following descriptions about NatureBridge is NOT correct?
A．It’s an organization working together with National Park Service to provide education.
B．Some of the activities held by NatureBridge are financially supported by Google.
C．Students from kindergarten to college can sign up for the organization’s activities.
D．It’s going to cut down budget for the activities because of economic hard times.
【2】In which national park will the program by East Coast centre start?
A．Yellowstone National Park.B．Prince William Forest Park.
C．Yosemite National Park.D．Not mentioned in the passage.
【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．National parks are used as outdoor classrooms for students.
B．Students are called on to be members of NatureBridge.
C．Some famous national parks in US are attractive to students.
D．Park rangers make visiting parks much more interesting.
【4】 Which of the following is the correct structure of the whole passage? (Para=paragraph)
A．
B．
C．
D．
5.In the winter of 1964, the Beatles, a British musical, packed up their electric guitars, drum kits, and rebellious ways and set off for America.
Two days later, more than seventy million people watched the group perform four of their hit songs on the Ed Sullivan Show. This was sixty percent of the American television audience. Here the Beatles sing one of those songs, "I Want to Hold Your Hand."
The Beatles soon had the top five hit songs on the Billboard singles chart. Millions of fans became infected with Beatlemania. They rushed to stores to buy Beatles albums, wigs, clothes, dolls and lunch boxes.
The Beatles recorded more than twenty number one hits in America. A Beatles song was almost always at the top of the charts until the group's next hit replaced it. They played to more than fifty thousand fans at large sports stadiums. And they filmed several movies that made millions of dollars.
The Beatles were influenced by American singers including Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Little Richard. Yet the group's music sounded completely new and different. The Beatles wrote more than two hundred songs that revolutionized American popular music.
In addition, young people saw the Beatles as spokesmen for their generation. They copied the band members' long hair and free-spirited ways. The band became so popular that in 1966 John Lennon said they were more popular than Jesus Christ.
Soon other musicians began writing their own music the way John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote the Beatles songs.
Many other British groups followed the Beatles to America. This was known as the "British Invasion." They included the Dave Clark Five, the Kinks and the Rolling Stones.
The Rolling Stones called themselves the "World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band." The Stones first performed across America in 1964. This song was the group's first Top 40 hit in the United States.
In the spring of 1970, the Beatles released "Let it Be." But their fans were not celebrating. This was the last studio album the Beatles recorded as a group. It tells the story of the band's break up.

这里的one =" an" experience ，这里的experience 是经历，可数，而作”经验“的时候是不可数的。

这里的 one泛指一次经验，而不是特指。

这里
相当于选一个先行词，I will always treasure 是做 one 的后置定语，省略了引导词that，因为 that是定语从句里
的宾语成分，即是 treasure的宾语，可省。

这里整体的 one I will always treasure 是名词词性，相当于是一个同
位语来修饰句子，对前文进行补充说明。

如果是非限制性定语从句，应该用which，不能用that，what不能引导
定语从句，it特指同类同物，选B。

【考点】考查代词
