M:I’d like to mail this package to California.①
W:Fill out this form with the required information. You can do this at the side counter. Pens are available there.
(Text 2)
M:Would you like to join us for dinner tonight, Betty?
W:I’d lo ve to. Where are we going?
M:Oh, Jake made a reservation at a restaurant near my home.②
(Text 3)
W:Do you think the weather will be good this weekend?③
M:I heard it might rain.
W:That’s a pity. I’d thought about going hiking in the hills.③
M:Well, we can go to that new art gallery instead.
(Text 4)
M:This book is really interesting. I enjoy it very much.
W:What is it? Is it a novel?
M:No, it’s a medical book. It’s been very popular recently, even though there’s obviously boring subject matter.
W:Really? I don’t think I’d enjoy anything on such a boring topic, even if it is useful.④ I much prefer science fiction, especially about what life might be like in the future.
(Text 5)
M:Hey,You look great! How did you get in such good shape?
W:I’ve been going to the club regularly, and the training has really paid off. I’m in better shape than I have been for years and I know much more about how to
keep fit.
M:I haven’t gone to the club for weeks. I am too busy with work.⑤
W:I know. It’s so normal to be too busy for work, but I’ve realized that exercise is extremely important compared to every other aspect of life.

M:Do you have any ideas on how to start our research on the pollution of the river outside our city?
W:Well, since pollution is one of the biggest problems in the world, and polluted water especially is a great danger to health, I think a lot of people are interested in this topic.Why don’t we start with a survey?⑥
M:Yeah, good idea, and then we can also visit some factories along the river.
W:Good idea.Many factories pour waste water directly into rivers. We should go and see if those factories are doing that.
M:And of course we can go to the library and look for some books on this topic first.
W:OK. Let’s start there.⑦ Shall we go there now?

W:Welcome to our store! Are you looking for a Ford today?
M:Well, I must warn you that I’m not ready to buy anything today, and I can’t afford to spend much.
W:That’s not a problem. What type of car are you looking for?
M:The most important thing is that the car must be gassaving—I’d like it to get at least 35miles per gallon.⑧ It also needs to have quite a bit of space at the back of the car, because I sometimes have to move furniture around. The prob lem is I don’t want to spend more than $13, 000.⑨
W:In that case,you might want to consider a used car, perhaps a pickup truck.⑨ We have several that are less than two years old and can still get good service from the factory. Would you like to take one for a test drive, even if it costs a little
more than your budget?⑨

W:We should go shopping for some new clothes.

W:You’ve worn that same shirt for the last five years, and your blue trousers are about seven years old now.
M:Hey, that’s OK.
W:Yes, but fashions change.
M:Fashions always change. Every year, every season, even every week, there is something new, such as clothes, smart phones, or iPads. Well, I’m not interested.⑩ As far as I’m concerned, it’s just a way for clothing companies to take your money.
W:What about your shoes? The pair I bought you for your birthday.
M:What about them?
W:You’ve had those for two years now, and I can see your smelly socks through them.⑪You have to buy some new shoes and socks, at least.⑫
M:Okay, I agree about that,⑫ but besides that, I really don’t think I need anything.

W:What did you do last Sunday?
M:I went to a meeting on global warming. It was fantastic to be around so many people who care about the environment.⑬
W:Do you think there’s anything we can do to change the damage that’s been done already?
M:It might not be possible to fix the problems that we’ve already created for ourselves , but there are lots of things we can do to fix the problems that we’re creating now.⑭
W:Like what?
M:Well, we should use public transport, rather than our cars.
W:What else can we do to protect the environment?
M:We should try to use sources of renewable energy at home.
W:How about recycling?⑮ Does that actually help?
M:Yes. We should take our glass, paper, plastic, and cans to a recycling center.
W:What do you think the biggest worry for our future is?
M:I think that the greatest concern is not having enough clean water for everyone.⑯
W:I had no idea you were such an environmentalist before!
M:To be honest, in order for the earth to continue to be a place suitable for people to live, we’re all going to have to become more interested in the environment.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
(2016·黑龙江高二期中)Good morning.Today I’d like to present the findings on wildlife found in gardens throughout our city.
First of all,how did we choose our topic? Well,there are four of us in the group and one day while we were discussing a possible focus,two of the group mentioned that they had seen yet more sparrowhawks in their own city centre gardens and wondered why they were turning up in these gardens in great numbers.We were all occupied by the idea of why wild animals would choose to inhabit ( 生活在 ) a city garden.Why is it so popular with wildlife when the countryside itself is becoming less so?
The first thing we did was to establish what percent of the urban land is taken up by private gardens.We found that it was about one fifth.Our own informal discussions with neighbors and friends led us to believe that many garden owners had interesting experiences to tell us about wild animal sighting so we decided to survey once every two weeks for twelve monthslisting species they had seen and adding the names.Meanwhile,we were doing our own observations in selected gardens throughout the city.We chose smaller ones because they were the most typical in the city on purpose.The whole point of the project was to look at the rule not the exception.Alongside this primary research on urban gardens,we were studying a lot of books about the decrease of wild animals in the countryside and thinking of possible causes for this.
So what did we find? Well,so much that I just won’t have time to tell you about it here.If you’re interested in reading our more comprehensive findings,we’ve produced detailed presentations on the college website.
【解题导语】本文介绍了在城市的花园里发现的一些比较异常的现象,并介绍了这个研究的过程。
21.The purpose of the group is to ________.
A.have a discussion on a possible focus
B.care about the decrease of one species
C.carry out a research on an unusual sight
D.show interest in the effects of city growth
C解析:推理判断题。
根据文中的We were all occupied by the idea of why wild animals would choose to inhabit ( 生活在 ) a city garden.Why is it so popular with wildlife when the countryside itself is becoming less so?可以推知,是要进行对于异常现象的研究。
故选C项。
22.The group made their observations in gardens________.
A.which they considered to be representative
B.which had a large number of animal species
C.which had stable population of rare animals
D.whose owners supported the project very much.
A解析:推理判断题。
根据文中的Meanwhile,we were doing our own observations in selected gardens throughout the city.We chose smaller ones because they were the most typical in the city on purpose.可知答案。
23.What would be the best title for the passage ?
A.The Common Findings
B.Findings in City Gardens
C.Wildlife in the Countryside
D.The Protection of Wildlife
B解析:标题归纳题。
本文在第一段点出主题:Today I’d like to present the findings on wildlife found in gardens throughout our city.下文介绍了这个发现的产生过程。
故选B项。
B
William Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer,made full use of the greatest resources of the English language.Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English;Shakespeare in his works used about twentyfive thousand!There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it.Such a study is well worth the effort,even though some aspects of English usage,and the meaning of many words,have changed since Shakespeare’s day.
However,it is surprising that we should know comparatively little about the life of the greatest English author.We know that Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratfor d,and that he died there in 1616.He almost certainly attended the Grammar School in the town,but of this we cannot be sure.We know he was married there in 1582 to Anne Hathaway and that he had three children.We know that he spent much of his life in London writing his masterpieces.But this is almost all that we do know.
However,what is i mportant about Shakespeare’s life is not its incidental details but its products,the plays and the poems.For many years scholars have been trying to add a few facts about Shakespeare’s life to the small number we already possess and for an equally long time critics (批评) have been theorizing (理论化) about the plays.Sometimes,indeed,it seems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disappear under the great mass of comment that has been written upon it.
Fortunately this is not likely to happen.Shakespeare’s_people have long delighted not just the English but lovers of literature everywhere,and will continue to do so after the scholars and critics and all their works have been forgotten.
24.According to the writer,which of the following remains uncertain about Shakespeare?
A.His date of birth.
B.His marriage.
C.His life in the Grammar School.
D.His date of death.
C解析:细节理解题。
由第二段第三句“He almost certainly attended the Grammar School in the town,but of this we cannot be sure.”可知答案。
25.It can be inferred from Para.3 that ________.
A.not all the comments on Shakespeare’s works have produced good effects B.scholars have successfully collected facts about Shakespeare’s life
C.critics are more inter ested in Shakespeare’s play than his poetry
D.the details of Shakespeare’s life are more important than his literary works A解析:推理判断题。
由本段最后一句可推知,对莎士比亚作品的评论并不是都起了很好的影响。
其他三项不符合题意。
26.What does the last sentence in Para.3 mean?
A.People can’t see the poetry of Shakespeare any more.
B.The comment is printed on the poetry of Shakespeare.
C.People don’t think the poetry of Shakespeare good any more.
D.Some people pay more attention to the comment than to Shakespeare’s poetry.
D解析:推理判断题。
由句意“事实上,有时莎士比亚的诗歌在如此多的评论之下好像就要消失了”可知,有些人对评论的关注超过了对莎士比亚作品的关注。
27.The underlined phrase“Shakespeare’s people”in Para.4 refers to ________.A.the characters in Shakespea re’s works
B.the people whose native language is English
C.the people living in Shakespeare’s day
D.the readers of Shakespeare’s works
A解析:细节理解题。
莎士比亚笔下的人物不仅仅愉悦了英国人,同时也愉悦了世界各地的文学爱好者。
可知A项正确。
C
About 21,000 young people in 17 American states do not attend classes in school buildings.Instead,they receive their elementary and high school education by working at home on computers.The Center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public “cy berschools”,and that is about twice as many as two years ago.
The money for students to attend a cyberschool comes from the governments of the states where they live.Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional public schools.They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well.
Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed.These people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools.They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.
Whatever the judgment of cyberschools,they are getting more and more popular.For example,a new cyberschool called Commonwealth Connections Academy will take in students this fall.It will serve children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five
through thirteen.
Children get free equipment for their online education.This includes a computer,a printer,books and technical services.Parents and students talk with teachers by telephone or by sending emails through their computers when necessary.
Students at cyberschools usually do not know one another.But 56 such students who finished studies at Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School recently met for the first time.They were guests of honor at their graduation.
【解题导语】打破传统的学习方法,现在越来越多的美国学生在家里上网络学校。
那么,什么是网络学校?它是如何运转的?有什么优点和缺点?网络学校的前景如何?本篇短文将给你答案。
28.What do we know from the passage about students of a cyberschool?
A.They have to take long bus rides to school.
B.They study at home rather than in classrooms.
C.They receive money from traditional public schools.
D.They do well in traditional school programs.
B解析:细节理解题。
根据第一段的第二句...by working at home on computers.可知B项正确。
根据第三段的最后一句They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children...可知A项错误;根据第二段的第一句The money for students to attend a cyberschool comes from the governments of the states where they live.可知C项错误;根据第三段的第二句These people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools.可知D项错误。
29.What is the problem with cyberschools?
A.Their equipment costs a lot of money.
B.They get little support from the state government.
C.It is hard to know students’ progress in learning.
D.The students find it hard to make friends.
C解析:细节理解题。
根据第二段的最后一句They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well.可知C项正确。
30.Cyberschools are getting popular because________.
A.they are less expensive for students
B.their students can work at their own speed
C.their graduates are more successful in society
D.they serve students in a wider age range
B解析:细节理解题。
根据第三段的第一句Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed.可知B项正确。
31.We can infer that the author of the passage is____________.
A.unprejudiced in his description of cyberschools
B.excited about the future of cyber schools
C.doubtful about the quality of cyberschools
D.disappointed at the development of cyberschools
A解析:推理判断题。
文章只是对网络学校作了客观、公正的描述,在写作过程中作者并没有表明自己对网络学校的态度。
因此选A。
D
(2016·黑龙江鹤岗一中高二期末)Everyone knows how the story of Cinderella does everything from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals before she meets the prince.If someone asked Cinderella,“Are there any kinds of household work that you particularly hate?” She probably would answer,“Why,none,of course.Housework is my duty!” In the real world,however,most people have certain dislikes for some kinds of household work.Two of these tasks are ironing(熨)clothes and washing dishes.
Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly.Each piece of clothing must be handled separately,so ironing a basket of them can take hours! If you do not follow directions carefully,it might become wrinkled and you have to start over.Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do.It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end.
Another household job that many people dislike is washing dishes.Of course,some people claim that this work is no longer a problem because,we have dishwashers now! However,no one would argue that dishes,silverware,and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher don’t come out as clean as they do when washed by hand.For this reason,many of us continue to wash our dishes.And it is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them.In addition,
unlike ironing clothes,washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day.I don’t know how Cinderella felt about this particular task,but I believe that most people hate it as much as I do.
【解题导语】本文介绍了洗碗和熨衣服这两种家务活的特点,人们都不愿意做这两件事。
说明了有些人不喜欢用洗碗机的原因。
32.For Cinderella,doing household work is ________.
A.what she hates to do
B.what she is responsible for
C.what she loves to do
D.what she is content with
B解析:细节理解题。
根据文中的She probably would answer,“Why,none,of course.Housework is my duty!”可知,她认为做家务活是她的责任。
33.Most people hate to do clothesironing because ________.
A.it takes a lot of time
B.it has to be done by one person
C.it must be handled skillfully
D.it needs careful planning
A解析:推理判断题。
根据文中的Each piece of clothing must be handled separately,so ironing a basket of them can take hours!可知,是因为做这件事要花很多时间。
34.Many people still prefer washing dishes by hand to machine washing because ________.
A.hand washed dishes are cleaner
B.dishwashers are not so easily handled
C.some dishes cannot be washed by machine
D.washing dishes by hand is cheaper
A解析:细节理解题。
根据文中的However,no one would argue that dishes,silverware,and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher don’t come out as clean as they do when washed by hand.可知答案。
35.Ironing is different from washing dishes in that ________.
A.it requires patience
B.it is not a daily housework
C.it is not tiring
D.it needs less care
B解析:推理判断题。
根据文中的In addition,unlike ironing clothes,washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day.可知,洗碗是每天都要做的,而熨衣服不是每天都必须做的事情。
