2．阅读理解
The Vieira family moved to the United States in1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.
Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they can't communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.
One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate with more people around the world. You don't have to depend on others to talk for you, so you are more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate. Furthermore, speaking the second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person's understanding of other culture. So knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.
Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other's problems.
The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don't try to learn another language. It' seven worse when people
let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.
（1）The passage begins with the experience of Vieira family in order to .
A. discuss the need of teaching a new language
B. introduce the passage's main characters to the readers
C. describe the advantages of moving to another country
D. show the problem of speaking only one language
（2）The underlined phrase "multi-language speakers" （Paragraph 5）means "people who know ".
A. their mother language
B. a new language
C. more than one language
D. baby language
（3）According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can .
A. find a better job
B. make more friends
C. better understand history
D. communicate more independently
（4）Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?
A. Not knowing another language.
B. Forgetting one's language.
C. Refusing to learn another language.
D. Failing to communicate with others.
【答案】（1）D
（2）C
（3）D
（4）B
【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文主要介绍说多种语言的好处，告诫我们学习外语的时候不能忘记母语。

（1）理解归纳题。

（2）词义理解题。

根据文中语句If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer.理解可知，不同国家的人们能够很好地沟通，说明能会多种语言，由此推断multi-language speakers是会说多种语言的人，故选C。

（3）细节理解题。

4．阅读理解
Need to buy something? Why go to a store? Buy it on the Internet! Need it now? Why wait? Ask for next-day delivery（投递）! Each day, more and more people try online shopping. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists say online shopping is bad for the environment.
People are surprised to hear this. "They think, 'I don't need to drive, and the business doesn't need to build a store, so there will be less pollution,'" says Nuria Prost, an environmental scientist. "In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution."
In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy products such as televisions, computers, and furniture. These products need to be packed in large amounts of plastic and paper, which creates a lot of waste.
Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask for next-day delivery, companies have to send them by air.
Planes use much more fuel（燃料）than cars and produce more carbon dioxide（CO2）. When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by plane.
Online product returns are also a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes without extra pay if they are the wrong size. This doubles the packing material and number of plane trips required to sell one pair of shoes.
"People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait?" says Prost, "Online shopping is fast and easy but we can't forget the negative effects it has on the environment."
（1）According to the passage, Nuria Prost .
A. loves to shop online very much
B. pays close attention to environment
C. sells products on a online store
D. doesn't like to drive to work
（2）The third paragraph mainly shows that .
A. shopping on the Internet is good for the environment
B. people preferred to buy large things on the Internet
C. books and clothing don't need much packing material
D. too much packing material can cause lots of waste
（3）According to the passage, the companies meet the needs of the next-day delivery by .
A. sending the products by air
B. selling different things online
C. getting more workers to pack
D. offering customers more products
（4）Which is the best title for this passage?
A. A Good Deal to Make?
B. A Cool Lifestyle to Keep?
C. A Green Way to Shop?
D. A New Business to Start?
【答案】（1）B
（2）D
（3）A
（4）C
【解析】【分析】文章大意：这篇文章主要介绍了越来越多的人尝试网上购物。

事实上，
网上销售在过去的十年里翻了一番。

但并不是每个人都很兴奋。

一些科学家现在认为，网
上购物对环境有害。

人们听到这个很惊讶，他们认为，"我不需要开车，业务交易不需要建
立一个商店，所以将会有更少的污染，"环境科学家努力亚说，"但这并不是那么简单。

事
实上，网上购物是浪费。

它也增加了空气污染。

"事实上，互联网并不总是看起来对环境那
么好。

"网上购物方便快捷，"普罗斯特说，"但是我们不能忘记对环境的负面影响。

"

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap （代沟）.
Don't argue （争辩） with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express
yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
（1）According to the passage who have a communication problem?
A. parents and other people
B. only school kids and their parents
C. teachers and their students
D. parents and children of all ages

Many people might think that if they had more money, then they would be happier in life. For example, people might look at what others have, like expensive clothes or nice cars, and wish they could have the same. But the things that money can buy can not bring happiness to a person for long.
① But is that really true? Studies have found that money can, in fact, make people happier. ② Instead, it's giving money to others that makes people happy. ③ It could be buying a present for a friend or a family member. ④ It could be buying a homeless person food to eat. It could be giving money to a person in need. Just think about the last time you used your own money to do something for someone else. How did you feel? Whether it is a small or large amount of money, people feel happier when they give. This is because making someone else happy makes the giver happy, too.
This idea of connecting your happiness to the happiness of others is described as ubuntu in an African language. There is even a story about a man visiting Africa who asked some kids to race to a nearby tree. The first child to touch the tree would get a sweet treat. Surprisingly, all the children held hands and ran together. They all touched the tree at the same time. The man asked why they had done this. The children simply said they could only enjoy eating the treat if everyone had one.
