3．阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1～15各题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．
We all know that some things are obviously right．For example，it is right to be （1）　 　 to other people．It is also right to look after the environment．Some things are （2）　 　wrong，too．For instance，we should not hurt or bully（欺负） others，nor should we litter．Rules often tell us what is right or wrong．．
Rules can help the public make the right （3）　 　，and remain safe．Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes．Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent （4）　 　．
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration，it will be （5）　 　 for them to form what is sometimes called a"black and white"view．For example，they may believe that people should always tell the truth，and that lying is （6）　 　 acceptable．Such people always stickt to their views，even if it means that they may get into （7）　 　．
Sometimes it may not be so easy to know （8）　 　 what is right or wrong．Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is （9）　 　 to eat animals，but others argue that they can eat meat and （10）　 　 be kind to animals； some insist that stealing is always wrong，but others think that one does not need to feel to （11）　 　 when stealing some food to eat，if lives in a really poor area and he is （12）　 　．Rules help us live together in harmony，because they show us the right way to （13）　 　 other．However，some people argue that rules may be （14）　 　，having observed that rules change all the time，and that some schools have some regulations and other have different ones﹣﹣﹣﹣so who is to （15）　 　 what is right？

4．People know that outdoor air pollution can damage their health，but many don't realize that indoor air pollution can also have significant health effects．Studies indicate that indoor levels of pollutants may be 2～5 times，and（36）　 　more than 100 times，higher than outdoor levels．These levels of indoor air pollutants may be of particular（37）　 　because most people（38）　 　about 90%of their time indoors．
Immediate effects （39）　 　up after a single exposure or repeated exposures．These include irritation（刺激） of the eyes，nose，throat and headaches．Such immediate effects are usually （40）　 　and treatable．Sometimes the treatment is simply eliminating the person's exposure to the source of the pollution，（41）　 　it can be identified．Symptoms of some diseases may also show up soon after exposure to some indoor air pollutants．
Certain immediate effects are（42）　 　to those from colds or other diseases，so it is often difficult to determine if the symptoms are a（n）（43）　 　of exposure to indoor air pollution．For this reason，it is important to（44）　 　attention to the time and place the （45）　 　occur．If the symptoms（46）　 　or go away when a person is away from the home and return when the person returns，（47）　 　should be made to identify indoor air sources that may be possible causes．Some effects may be made worse （48）　 　an inadequate supply of outdoor air or from the heating，cooling，or humidity conditions in the home．
Other health effects may show up either years after exposure has occurred or only after（49）　 　 repeated periods of exposure．These effects，which include some respiratory（呼吸的） diseases，can be（50）　 　fatal．It is better to try to improve the indoor air quality in your home（51）　 　 symptoms are not noticeable．
While pollutants commonly（52）　 　in indoor air are responsible for many harmful effects，there is considerable uncertainty about what periods of exposure are necessary to produce specific health problems．People also react very （53）　 　to exposure to indoor air pollutants．（54）　 　，further research is needed to better（55）　 　the effects of indoor air pollution to find efficient ways to protect our health．

5．One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault﹣finder．However，life can be （36）　 　when you are not busy finding fault with it．
Several years ago I （37）　 　a letter from seventeen﹣year﹣old Kerry，who described herself as a world﹣class fault﹣finder，almost always （38）　 　 by things．People were always doing things that annoyed her，and （39）　 　was ever good enough．She was highly self﹣critical and also found fault with her friends．She became a really （40）　 　 person．
Unfortunately，it took a horrible accident to change her （41）　 　Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash．What made it almost （42）　 　 to deal with was that the day before the （43）　 　，Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her （44）　 　 of boyfriends，the way she was living，the way she related to her mother，and various other things she felt she needed to （45）　 　 It wasn't until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became （46）　 　 her habit of finding fault．Very quickly，she learned to appreciate life rather than to（47）　 　 everything so harshly （刻薄）．She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her（48）　 　as well．
Perhaps most of us aren't as extreme at fault﹣finding，（49）　 　 when we're honest，we can be sharply （50）　 　 of the world．I'm not suggesting you （51）　 　problems，or that you pretend things are （52）　 　than they are，but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are﹣（53）　 　 most of the time，and especially when it's not a really big （54）　 　．
Train yourself to"bite your tongue"，and with a little（55）　 　，you'll get really good at letting things go．And when you do，you'll get back your enthusiasm and love for life．

7．A trip to a bank's ATM machine is usually a common affair. But for Jose Nuńez Romaniz，his（1）　 　on Sunday is one that he won't（2）　 　 for the rest of his life.
The 19﹣year﹣old college student was making a（3）　 　 for Mother's Day online when he noticed his account balance（存款余额）was（4）　 　. So he drove to the nearest bank to deposit money. Little did he know that he was about to make an incredible（5）　 　.

I'd never seen a（5）　 　like this before．I wanted to ask for help，but there was no one（6）　 　．So I went into the shallow water and went toward the animal．I came （7）　 　enough to make out the manatee．Then，a second manatee，much smaller，appeared beside it．（8）　 　，the other manatees were also moving toward me．Soon I was （9）　 　by several manatees．I could clearly see the larger manatee （10）　 　the little one up with her flipper（鳍状肢）and pushed it to the surface beside me．

【分析】文章讲述了室内污染源可能比室外的污染物对人体的伤害更大，但是还需要进一步的研究来找到最好的方法．
【解答】36．C考查副词．室内污染有时候是室外污染的2﹣3倍，"occasionally"意思是"偶尔"是室外污染的100倍．
37．A考查名词．根据前句可知，室内污染和严重，所以应该是特别需要注意的"concern"意思是名词，"在意关心的事情"．
38．C考查动词．前句说室内污染要引起注意因为我们大部分的时间都是花在室内的．"spend"意思是"花费"符合题意．
39．B考查动词．此处考查一个固定短语，"show up"意思是"出现"．
40．D考查形容词．前句提到"eyes，nose，throat and headaches"这些都是属于"short﹣term"短期的影响．
41．A考查连接词．if此处引导一个条件状语产品从句，意思是"如果能够鉴别污染源的话，治疗很简单"．
42．B考查形容词．根据"so it is often difficult to determine"有些很难决定，因为和"colds or other diseases"感冒很相似．
43．D考查名词．如果这些症状是因为室内污染源引起的结果的话就很难决定．"result"意思是"结果"符合题意．
44．C考查动词．所以要注意症状出现的时间和地点，此处考查一个固定短语"pay attention to"意思是"注意"．
45．C 考查名词．根据上文"so it is often difficult to determine if the symptoms"可知，此处填症状"symptoms"属于原词复现．
46．B考查动词．根据后面的"go away"可知所填的动词应该和"go away"有类似的意思，所以"fade"意思是消失．
47．D考查名词．当一个人离开家，症状就消失了，回来症状就出现的话，应该努力找一下室内污染源，make efforts意思是努力．
48．A考查介词．"by"此处是介词，意思是通过某种方式．
49．C考查形容词．前句提到"years after exposure"可知，长时间的重复暴露在室内污染物之下．
50．B 考查副词．根据句子里"some respiratory（呼吸的） diseases"一些呼吸疾病可能是最严重的，severly副词来修形容词fatal．
51．A考查介词短语．根据上下文语境可知，即使没有出现症状也要最好改善室内空气质量．"even if"意思是"即使"符合题意．
52．A考查动词．此处found in indoor air 属于过去分词短语修饰pollutants，表示被动．
53．C考查副词．根据上句"there is considerable uncertainty about"还不太确定暴露的什么阶段会引起疾病，所以不同人对污染源的反应也是不同的．
54．B考查连接词．根据上下文的语境可知，此处therefore表示因果关系，因此，需要进一步的研究．
55．D考查动词．由于前句提到还不太确定暴露的什么阶段会引起疾病，所以更好理解室内污染的 影响是有必要的．
5．One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault﹣finder．However，life can be （36）　 　when you are not busy finding fault with it．
Several years ago I （37）　A　a letter from seventeen﹣year﹣old Kerry，who described herself as a world﹣class fault﹣finder，almost always （38）　C　 by things．People were always doing things that annoyed her，and （39）　D　was ever good enough．She was highly self﹣critical and also found fault with her friends．She became a really （40）　 　 person．

Perhaps most of us aren't as extreme at fault﹣finding，（49）　C　 when we're honest，we can be sharply （50）　D　 of the world．I'm not suggesting you （51）　D　problems，or that you pretend things are （52）　 　than they are，but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are﹣（53）　A　 most of the time，and especially when it's not a really big （54）　 　．
Train yourself to"bite your tongue"，and with a little（55）　A　，you'll get really good at letting things go．And when you do，you'll get back your enthusiasm and love for life．
