Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction (破坏) of our environment. Brown clouds, polluted water, endangered wild animals.., these problems seem so huge.
So my family does what we can. We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags. We walk where we don't have to drive...
But does it do any good? When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags, am I doing any good? Does my walking to stores make
any real difference to the world?
I recently learned something about flamingos (火烈鸟) which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more. Every year, when the time comes for migration (迁徙), a few of them first takeoff from the lake. But none of the others seem to notice, so the small group returns. However, the next day they try again. This time few more fly along with them, but most of them still pay no attention, so they return again. They try for several times. Every time a few more birds join in but, since the thousands of others still take no notice, the great migration plan is once more stopped.
Then one day something changes. The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before, then more. Finally, they all take flight and the migration really begins. What a spectacular sight it must be—thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once!
A few can make a difference. Even if you're the one to take the first step, and continue trying, others will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems.
【1】Where would you most probably read this passage?
A. A guidebook.
B. A movie poster.
C. A personal blog(博客).

A. Because he wants to do some good to the environment.
B. Because he thinks plastic bags are more expensive.

【3】What does the underlined word "spectacular" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

B. Flamingos like to get together in groups of a thousand or more.
C. Brown clouds and polluted water are the only problems we face today.
D. When a few of the flamingos first take off from the lake, all the others follow at once.
【5】What's the writer's purpose of writing this article?

Do you play King of Glory (《王者荣耀》)? If so, do you like the game? Why or why not?
Li Ming is a 13-year-old student in Shanghai. Since last May, he has spent most of his spare time on King of Glory. “Every boy in my class is playing it,” he said. “Good players are respected.”
King of Glory has been a very popular mobile game in China. It has had 50 million daily users. Unlike other games, King of Glory names all of its characters after figures (人物) from China’s history. “All of them look very cool,” said Li. His favorite hero is Jing Ke. “She’s very pretty,” the boy added.
Yes, you read right. The real Jing Ke was a man. In the game, however, he has been turned into a woman. Jing Ke is not alone. Li Bai, as we know, was a famous poet. In the game, his job is to kill the others. China’s first known physician (医师), Bian Que, meanwhile, doesn’t just cure people. He also poisons his enemies.
This has caused a hot debate (争论). Some parents are worried that the game may mislead (误导) their children. An article also criticized (批评) the game rewrote China’s history.
Others, however, are less worried. They think a game is a game.
The real problem, perhaps, is that there is no game rating system (评价制度) in China. King of Glory is designed for people over 16 years of age. According to a survey, however, more than 30 percent of the players are in primary or middle school. They are too young to tell the differences between fact and fiction (虚构). If Tecent (腾讯), the game’s developer, could do something about this, the problem might soon be over.
【1】According to the article, how old was Li Ming when he started playing King of Glory?
A.Ten years old.
B.Eleven years old.
C.Twelve years old.
D.Thirteen years old.
【2】According to the article, in King of Glory, Li Bai is a________.
A.poet
B.killer
C.physician
D.game developer
【3】What views on King of Glory is Not mentioned (提到) in the passage?
A.Some parents are afraid the game may mislead their children.
B.Some people think the game shouldn’t rewrite China’s history.
C.Some parents think King of Glory is just a game for fun.
D.Some people think it is more popular among the young.
【4】According to the article, how does the author think the problem can be solved?
A.By deleting (删除) all the misleading characters from King of Glory.
B.By preventing those under 16 from playing King of Glory.
C.By waiting for China to create a game rating system.
D.By having some history lessons in King of Glory before playing it.
【答案】
【1】C
【2】B
【3】D
【4】C

【2】细节理解题。

【4】推理判断题。

根据最后一段“The real problem, perhaps, is that there is no game rating system (评价制度) in China.”作者认为真正的问

A new series of Chinese Maths textbooks was published in the UK following the success of the previous edition, with an expert saying Chinese Maths textbooks are generally more difficult for UK students. However, new Chinese Maths textbooks teach UK students learning skills. Yi Ke Yi Lian, or One Lesson, One Exercise, is a series of popular textbooks for primary and junior high schools in Shanghai. For about 20 years, this series has helped students to practice what they have learned in class. This summer, the Maths textbook series was published in the UK. The British version has 11 volumes (册), as there are 11 grades from primary school to high school in the UK. The publishers cut out part of the content in the Chinese version to go with the curriculum setting (课程安排) there. They also changed some terms (术语) and background knowledge. But the overall difficulty level is the same.
The move follows the British government’s efforts to learn from Shanghai’s Maths teaching methods starting from last year. In the 2012 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA.国际学生评估项
目), Shanghai students got the first place on the Maths exam while British students got 24th place.
In September, the British government invited 60 of Shanghai’s top Maths teachers to British schools to share their teaching experience. A number of teachers from the UK also visited Shanghai for experience.
“It seems that the Shanghai teaching methodology (方法) uses resources much more effectively,” said Liz Truss, a government education officer. We have stagnated (停滞) in our Maths performance for the last 15 years, and it’s time for us to learn and apply good practices.”
【1】The British publishers ________ before publishing the textbooks.
A.added more content to the books
B.changed the curriculum setting
C.changed some of the book’s background knowledge

【2】In the 2012 PISA, students from which country got the first place on the Maths exam?
A.The UK.
B.China.
C.Japan.
D.The USA.
【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.The UK is using Chinese Maths books.
B.How to improve UK kids’ Maths skills.
C.Lots of practice can make a difference.
D.China has the best teaching methodology.
【1】C

manage完成（困难的事情），设法；根据句意可知用一般过去时，故填managed。

B. 请根据句意从方框中选择合适的单词、并用其适当形式填空、使句子通顺。

communicate wife ugly possible pollute
【1】It’s the ________ building I have seen in this city.
【2】The husband wrote down his ________ address clearly.
【3】It is ________for him to finish the work in such bad weather.
【4】PM2.5 ________ has become a serious problem which does harm to our health.
【5】My mother usually has ________with me at weekends.
【答案】
【1】ugliest
【2】wife’s
【3】impossible
【4】pollution
【5】communication
【解析】
【1】句意：这是我在这个城市见过的最丑的建筑。

根据比较范围“in this city”可知此处填写形容词最高级；对比所给词汇，ugly意思最合适，其最高级为ugliest，故填ugliest。

【2】句意：丈夫把妻子的地址写得很清楚。

此处修饰address，his修饰名词，所以此处填写名词所有格。

对比所给词汇，wife妻子最适合该句。

此处指他的妻子的地址，有生命的名词的所有格一般加’s，故填wife’s。

【3】句意：他不可能在这样恶劣的天气里完成这项工作。

it is +形容词+for sb to do sth对于某人来说做某事是……。

根据“in such bad weather”可知此处指是不可能的，possible可能的，反义词为impossible不可能的，故填impossible。

【4】句意：颗粒物污染已成为危害人类健康的严重问题。

该句缺少主语；根据“which does harm to our health.”可知此处指颗粒物污染；pollute污染，动词，对应的名词为pollution，故填pollution。

【5】句意：我妈妈通常在周末和我交流。

communicate 交流，沟通，动词，对应的名词为communication；have communication with sb和某人交流，communication是不可数名词，结合句意，故填communication。

选词填空，不仅要使句意通顺合理而且要保证句子结构正确，符合英语语言习惯。

例如小题3，根据句中结构可知此处缺少一个形容词；根据“in such bad weather”可知此处指完成那项工作是不可能的，所以要填写possible的反义词impossible。

选词填空
C. 用括号中所给动词的适当形式填空。

not believe send go translate fly
【1】Mr. Smith ________to London to have a meeting the day before yesterday.
【2】I________ it until I see it with my own eyes.
【3】The exchange student ________ over 200 sentences into English in
the past two days.
【4】—Hey, Tom. Let’s go swimming. —Just a moment. I________ a message.
【5】—Where is Tom?
—He ________ to Shanghai on business.
【答案】
【1】flew
【2】won’t believe
【3】has translated
【4】am sending
【5】has gone
【解析】
【1】句意：史密斯先生前天乘飞机去伦敦开会。

根据“the day before yesterday.”可知该句用一般过去时；根据“to London”可知是交通方式“飞”往伦敦，fly飞，过去式为flew，故填flew。

【2】句意：除非我亲眼看到，否则我不会相信。

not … until直到……才……；根据“until I see it with my own eyes.”可知此处指直到亲眼看到才会相信，根据主从句的动作都没有发生，所以从句用一般现在时，主句用将来时，主将从现。

故填won’t believe。

【3】句意：在过去的两天里，这个交换生已经把200多个句子翻译成了英语。

in the past two days.在过去的两天里，这是现在完成时的时间标志词，
所以该句用现在完成时；根据“into English”可知此处指把200多个句子翻译成了英语，translate翻译；主语是单数名词所以助动词用has，故填has translated。

【4】句意：——嘿，汤姆。

我们去游泳吧。

——请稍等。

我在发信息。

send a message发信息；根据语境可知汤姆正在发信息，所以用现在进行时；主语是第一人称单数，所以系动词用am，故填am sending。

【5】句意：——汤姆在哪里？——他出差去了上海。

have/has gone to 去了某地，表示不在说话的地点。

根据提问“Where is Tom?”可知汤姆不在说话的地点，主语是第三人称单数，故填has gone。

该选词填空主要考查谓语动词的时态。

我们在做题时首先要根据句意选出合适的动词，然后根据句意或者标志词填上其正确形式。

例如小题3，我们根据句意很容易判断出该句填写“translate”，然后根据in the past two days这一现在完成时态的时间标志词判断该句用现在完成时态。
