Being a good team player is an important skill in life. You can’t just think of yourself, but have to work well with other people. Other advantages of team sports like basketball, football and baseball are that they keep you fit and healthy, and they are also great fun. Teams usually have a good social life too—you’ll go to lots of parties and make many friends.
★Collect something
One of the best hobbies for under-18s is collecting things. You could collect kinds of stamps, or you could collect things that make you remember what you have done, like cinema tickets for films you have seen or letters from friends.

Clara Daly was seated on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles when a flight attendant asked an urgent(紧急的) question over the loudspeaker: “Does anyone on board know American Body Language ” She knew she needed to help.
Clara, 15 at the time, pressed the call button. The flight attendant came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who’s blind and deaf,” she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the flight attendants couldn’t understand what he needed, according to PEOPLE magazine.
Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help with her dyslexia (阅读障碍) and knew she’d be able to spell on the man’s palm(手掌) by finger. So she unbuckled her seat belt, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt by the aisle seat of Tim Cook, then 64. Gently taking his hand, she wrote, “How are you Are you OK ” Cook asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while.
“He didn’t need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk,” Clara said. So for the next hour, that was what they did. She talked about her family and her plans for the future (she wants to be a politician). Cook told Clara how he had gradually become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn’t see her, she “looked attentively at his face with such kindness”, a passenger reported.
“Clara was amazing,” a flight attendant told Alaska Airlines in a blog interview. “You could tell Cook was very excited to have someone he could speak to, and she was such a warm-hearted girl.” Cook’s reaction: “Best trip I’ve ever had.”
Looking for ways to offer help Start with this random(随时的) act of kindness that can change someone’s life right now.

【分析】本文是记叙文。主要简述15岁的Clara在飞机上用手语帮助一位失明又失聪的老人，整个旅程同老人交流，让老人有了一次难忘的旅程的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“The flight attendant came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf,” she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the flight attendants couldn't understand what he needed, according to PEOPLE magazine. (空乘人员过来解释情况。她说：“我们飞机上有一位又盲又聋的乘客。”据《人物》杂志报道，这名乘客似乎想要些什么，但他是一个人在旅行，空乘人员无法理解他需要什么。)可知，空乘人员问了一个紧急的问题是因为没有一个空乘人员能与这位乘客交流。故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的““He didn't need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk,” Clara said. So for the next hour, that was what they did. “(他什么也不需要。他很孤独，想聊天，”Clara说。接下来的一个小时，他们就是这么做的。)”可知， 因为 Cook 很孤单而且想交谈，故 Clara 在接下来的一小时一直在和 Cook 交谈。故判断出Clara谈论她未来的计划是因为她需要与 Cook继续交谈的话题。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“So she unbuckled her seat belt, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt by the aisle seat of Tim Cook, then 64. Gently taking his hand, she wrote, “How are you Are you OK ” Cook asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while.( 于是她解开安全带，向飞机前部走去，跪在当时64岁的蒂姆·库克的过道座位旁。她轻轻地握着他的手，写道：“你怎么样？”你可以吗？”库克要了点水。当飞机到达时，克拉拉又回到了座位上。后来她又来了，因为他想知道时间。在她第三次来访时，她停下来并呆了一会儿。)”可知Clara帮助那位乘客要水，告诉他时间，并和他呆了一会儿，这说明Clara是个善良的女孩。根据第四段的““He didn’t need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk，”Clara said. So for the next hour，that’s what they did.(“他什么也不需要。他很孤独，很想说话。”克拉拉说，所以在接下来的一个小时里，他们就是这么做的。)”可知Clara察觉到老人其实什么都不想要，只是想和别人说说话，所以接下来的一个小时她一直在和老人交谈，这说明她体贴关心他人。故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文中最后一句“Looking for ways to give back yourself Start with this random act of kindness that can change someone’s life right now.(寻找回馈自己的方法，从这种可以改变某人现在生活的随机善举开始。)”可知作者告诉读者如果你想回馈社会，可以从现在就做一些可以改变别人生活的随机善举开始。也就是说作者呼吁读者对他人友好地，随时随地施以援手。故选C项。
C
Last summer, Maria and her mother moved from their house in the countryside to a flat building in Chicago. Maria really liked some things about the city, but she missed her house and yard in the countryside.
One day, Maria was in her flat building when she noticed her neighbor, Mrs. Garcia, carrying a gardening tool and a bag of soil. Maria wondered how Mrs. Garcia was able to garden in the city.
“My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables, and I know she misses her garden now that we don’t have a yard,” said Maria.
Mrs. Garcia laughed. “I’ll show you,” she said.
Maria thought that Mrs. Garcia would take her to the park, but she took her to the roof. When the door opened, Maria was surprised to see rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof.
“What a wonderful garden!” said Maria.
Mrs. Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space. Then some of the people in the building asked the owners to turn it into a community garden. The building owners liked the idea because the plants not only helped to keep the air clean, but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer weather.
“I plant flowers in my own place,” Mrs. Garcia said, “but you would be surprised by how different the plants are up here. Some people grow vegetables just like your mom. You can do some of the same things in the city as in the countryside. You just have to be creative!”
28. Where did Mrs. Garcia take Maria to one day
A. The park. B. The roof.
C. The garden in front of her house. D. The countryside.
29. Which of the following is NOT the good side of the community garden
A. It made the building stronger. B. It helped keep the air clean.
C. It helped keep the building cooler. D. It used the empty space well.
30. After Maria visited the garden, she would most probably ask her mom to ________.
A. go back to the countryside B. pick flowers from the garden
C show her around the park D. grow vegetables on the roof
31. What is the best title for this passage
A. A Creative Lady B. An Empty Roof C. A Rooftop Garden D. A Special Building
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了Maria和妈妈从乡下搬家到城市的公寓楼后，Maria怀念乡下的院子。有一天，当她看到邻居带了园艺的工具和一包土时，想知道邻居如何在城市栽培花木，进而发现原来邻居是在屋顶上做栽培。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Maria thought that Mrs. Garcia would take her to the park, but she took her to the roof. When the door opened, Maria was surprised to see rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof.(玛丽亚本以为加西亚太太会带她去公园，但她却带她去了屋顶。门打开时，玛丽亚惊讶地看到屋顶上一排排的鲜花和蔬菜)”可知，她们来到了屋顶。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第七段“Mrs. Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space. Then some of the people in the building asked the owners to turn it into a community garden. The building owners liked the idea because the plants not only helped to keep the air clean, but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer weather.(加西亚太太告诉玛利亚，很久以来屋顶只是一个闲置空间，后来楼里的一些人要求业主把屋顶变成社区花园，楼主们喜欢这个想法，因为这些植物不仅有助于保持空气的清洁，而且在较热的天气下也有助于保持大楼的凉爽)”可知，合理利用闲置空间、保持空气清洁、保持大楼的凉爽都是社区花园的优点，而没有提到能够让大楼变得更坚固，可知，A选项“它使建筑更坚固”不是社区花园好的一面。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Maria really liked some things about the city, but she missed her house and yard in the countryside.( Maria很喜欢城市里的一些东西，但她想念乡下的房子和院子)”以及第三段““My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables, and I know she misses her garden now that we don’t have a yard,” said Maria.( Maria说：“我妈妈以前种过最美味的蔬菜，现在我们没有院子了，我知道她很想念自己的菜园。”)”可知，Maria和妈妈去年夏天从乡下搬到城市后非常惦念乡下的花园，因为现在她们没有庭院可以种蔬菜了。因此，当Maria参观了这个花园后，她最有可能叫她妈妈在屋顶上种蔬菜。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“Mrs. Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space. Then some of the people in the building asked the owners to turn it into a community garden. The building owners liked the idea because the plants not only helped to keep the air clean, but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer weather.(加西亚太太告诉玛丽亚，很长一段时间以来，屋顶都是空的。然后楼里的一些人要求业主把它变成一个社区花园。建筑业主喜欢这个想法，因为植物不仅有助于保持空气清洁，而且还有助于在温暖的天气保持建筑凉爽)”结合本文主要介绍了屋顶花园的情况，因此本文的最佳标题是“屋顶花园”。故选C。
D
A new study finds almost one third of the world’s population is overweight. Since 1980, obesity rates(肥胖率)in children and adults have doubled in 73 countries, making people more worried. And rates are increasing in many other countries. Obesity is increasing faster in children than adults in many nations, including Algeria, Turkey and Jordan, the report said. But the world's weight problem is growing in both rich and poor countries alike. Researchers say an increasing number of people are dying of related health problems in what they called a "disturbing global public health problem."
Researchers studied health information from 1980 through 2015. They examined obesity rates, average weight gain in 195 countries. They found that obesity rates are three times greater among youth and young adults in countries like China, Brazil and India. Almost 108 million children and more than 600 million adults were found to be overweight. Egypt had the highest number of overweight adults in 2015. Vietnam had the least. In the same year, the United States had the highest number of overweight children, and Bangladesh had the least.
Yet hunger remains a problem in many areas. The United Nations said that almost 800 million people, including 300 million children, go to bed hungry each night. Experts said poor diets and lack of physical activity are mainly to blame for the rising numbers of overweight people.
Growing populations have led to rising obesity rates in poor countries. Often, poor people will eat processed(加工的) foods instead of choosing a diet rich in vegetables.
The London-based Overseas Development Institute studied the price of food in five countries: Britain, Brazil, China, Mexico and South Korea. It found that the cost of processed foods like ice cream and hamburgers has fallen since 1990. But the cost of fresh fruits and vegetables has gone up.
32. What do we know about obesity in the world
A. It is worrying
B. It is given no attention
C. It has been successfully solved
D. It is more serious among old people
33. Which country has the most overweight children in 2015
A. America B. Vietnam
C. Egypt D. Bangladesh
34. What is one of the reasons why people get overweight
A. Hunger B. Poor diet
C. Diets with vegetables D. Eating too much fruit
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. It’s Important to Have a Balanced Diet
B. How Can We Lose Weight and Keep Fit
C. Is It Necessary for Us to Eat Fresh Vegetables
D. Nearly One Third of People in the World Are Overweight.
【答案】32. A 33. A 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【分析】全世界有三分之一的人口属于超重或被认为肥胖，肥胖已经成为困扰很多国家的问题，但是饥饿仍然存在。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的句子Since 1980, obesity rates(肥胖率)in children and adults have doubled in 73 countries, making people more worried. 自1980年以来，73个国家的儿童和成人的肥胖率翻了一倍，使得人们更加担心。可知肥胖令人担忧。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的研究结果In the same year, the United States had the highest number of overweight children, and Bangladesh had the least.可知在2015年，美国的超重儿童数量最多。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句Experts said poor diets and lack of physical activity are mainly to blame for the rising numbers of overweight people. 专家指出，饮食不良和缺乏锻炼是超重人数增加的主要原因。可知超重的其中一个原因是饮食不良，故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段A new study finds almost one third of the world’s population is overweight.及全文可知，文章主要介绍的就是世界人口的超重问题，故标题用Nearly One Third of People in the World Are Overweight.合适，故选D。
名师点睛】
主旨大意题解题思路分析：
概括主旨大意的方法有：
A：寻找主题句，有些段落大意在主题句上。主题句有的在句首，有的在段中，有的在段尾。
B：寻找关键词，有些段落大意就散落在关键词上。
阅读理解的问题也以如下形式出现：
1. What is the best title for/of the passage
2. What can be inferred from the passage
3. What does the author mainly tell us about in the text？
4. What is mainly discussed in the article/passage/text 做答这类问题时，将阅读重点放在首尾部分，中间部分则可采用略读或者扫读的方式，一则省时间，二则目标明确，正确率自然也相应提高了。如本文的第4小题，由题干Which of the following can be the best title for the text 可知这里考查了本文的主旨。根据主旨大意题的解题技巧A，我们通过阅读文章开头部分——A new study finds almost one third of the world’s population is overweight.可知文章要描述的是人们的体重超标问题，接下来文章对其说明，并列出数据以及调查结果。可知本文的开头即是主题句，所以用D作为标题合适。

【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意：看来这场足球比赛为胖男人提供了一个惊人的减肥方法。分析句子可知，句中泛指一个惊人的减肥方法，故空格处应用不定冠词，“amazing”音标的第一个音素为元音音素，故应用不定冠词“an”修饰。故填an。

Being a good team player is an important skill in life. You can’t just think of yourself, but have to work well with other people. Other advantages of team sports like basketball, football and baseball are that they keep you fit and healthy, and they are also great fun. Teams usually have a good social life too—you’ll go to lots of parties and make many friends.
★Collect something
One of the best hobbies for under-18s is collecting things. You could collect kinds of stamps, or you could collect things that make you remember what you have done, like cinema tickets for films you have seen or letters from friends. The best way to collect is to have a special album to put your collection in and to write what each thing means to you. That way you won’t forget.

Clara, 15 at the time, pressed the call button. The flight attendant came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who’s blind and deaf,” she said.

Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help with her dyslexia (阅读障碍) and knew she’d be able to spell on the man’s palm(手掌) by finger.

Cook told Clara how he had gradually become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn’t see her, she “looked attentively at his face with such kindness”, a passenger reported.
“Clara was amazing,” a flight attendant told Alaska Airlines in a blog interview. “You could tell Cook was very excited to have someone he could speak to, and she was such a warm-hearted girl.” Cook’s reaction: “Best trip I’ve ever had.”

Last summer, Maria and her mother moved from their house in the countryside to a flat building in Chicago. Maria really liked some things about the city, but she missed her house and yard in the countryside.
One day, Maria was in her flat building when she noticed her neighbor, Mrs. Garcia, carrying a gardening tool and a bag of soil. Maria wondered how Mrs. Garcia was able to garden in the city.
“My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables, and I know she misses her garden now that we don’t have a yard,” said Maria.
Mrs. Garcia laughed. “I’ll show you,” she said.
Maria thought that Mrs. Garcia would take her to the park, but she took her to the roof. When the door opened, Maria was surprised to see rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof.
“What a wonderful garden!” said Maria.
Mrs. Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space. Then some of the people in the building asked the owners to turn it into a community garden. The building owners liked the idea because the plants not only helped to keep the air clean, but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer weather.
“I plant flowers in my own place,” Mrs. Garcia said, “but you would be surprised by how different the plants are up here. Some people grow vegetables just like your mom. You can do some of the same things in the city as in the countryside. You just have to be creative!”

A new study finds almost one third of the world’s population is overweight. Since 1980, obesity rates(肥胖率)in children and adults have doubled in 73 countries, making people more worried. And rates are increasing in many other countries. Obesity is increasing faster in children than adults in many nations, including Algeria, Turkey and Jordan, the report said. But the world's weight problem is growing in both rich and poor countries alike. Researchers say an increasing number of people are dying of related health problems in what they called a "disturbing global public health problem."
Researchers studied health information from 1980 through 2015. They examined obesity rates, average weight gain in 195 countries. They found that obesity rates are three times greater among youth and young adults in countries like China, Brazil and India. Almost 108 million children and more than 600 million adults were found to be overweight. Egypt had the highest number of overweight adults in 2015. Vietnam had the least. In the same year, the United States had the highest number of overweight children, and Bangladesh had the least.
Yet hunger remains a problem in many areas. The United Nations said that almost 800 million people, including 300 million children, go to bed hungry each night. Experts said poor diets and lack of physical activity are mainly to blame for the rising numbers of overweight people.
Growing populations have led to rising obesity rates in poor countries. Often, poor people will eat processed(加工的) foods instead of choosing a diet rich in vegetables.
The London-based Overseas Development Institute studied the price of food in five countries: Britain, Brazil, China, Mexico and South Korea. It found that the cost of processed foods like ice cream and hamburgers has fallen since 1990. But the cost of fresh fruits and vegetables has gone up.
32. What do we know about obesity in the world
A. It is worrying
B. It is given no attention
C. It has been successfully solved
D. It is more serious among old people
33. Which country has the most overweight children in 2015
A. America B. Vietnam
C. Egypt D. Bangladesh
34. What is one of the reasons why people get overweight
A. Hunger B. Poor diet
C. Diets with vegetables D. Eating too much fruit
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. It’s Important to Have a Balanced Diet
B. How Can We Lose Weight and Keep Fit
C Is It Necessary for Us to Eat Fresh Vegetables
D. Nearly One Third of People in the World Are Overweight.
