答案：A 考查非谓语动词。句意：奇怪的是，一些为孩子们写的书在成年人中很受欢迎。be intended for“为……而(做、建)；供……用”，因此intend与books之间构成逻辑上的被动关系，因此用过去分词。

(2012·河北重点中学联考)
Scientists at Harvard University and Bates College find female chimpanzees (黑猩猩) appear to treat sticks as dolls, carrying them around until they have children of their own. Young males engage in such behavior much less frequently.
The new work by Sonya M. Kahlenberg and Richard W. Wrangham, described this week in the journal Current Biology, provides the first evidence of a wild non-human species playing with dolls, as well as the first known sex difference in a wild animal's choice of playthings.
The two researchers say their work adds to a growing body of evidence that human children are probably born with their own ideas of how they want to behave, rather than simply mirroring other girls who play with dolls and boys who play with trucks. Doll play among humans could have its origins in object—carrying by earlier apes (猿类), they say, suggesting that toy selection is probably not due entirely to socialization.
“In humans, there are obvious sex differences in children's toy play, and these are remarkably similar across cultures，” says Kahlenberg. “While socialization by elders and peers has been the primary explanation, our work suggests that biology may also have an important role to play in activity preferences.”
In 14 years of data on chimpanzee behavior at the Kibale National Park in Uganda, Kahlenberg and Wrangham counted more than 100 examples of stick-carrying. Some young chimpanzees carried sticks into the nest to sleep with them and on one occasion built a separate nest for the stick.“We have seen juveniles occasionally carrying sticks for many years, and because they sometimes treated them rather like dolls, we wanted to know if in general this behavior tended to represent something like playing with dolls，” says Wrangham, a Professor at Harvard. “If the doll hypothesis (假设) was right, we thought that females should carry sticks more than males do, and that the chimpanzees should stop carrying sticks when they had their first child. We have now watched enough young chimpanzees to prove both points.”
文章大意：动物心理是科学家们研究的一个重要领域。在黑猩猩的世界里，雌性黑猩猩常把棍子当作洋娃娃抱在怀里，而雄性黑猩猩却较少这样做。这是为什么呢？
1．What does a female chimpanzee do with sticks?
A．She gives them to her child to play with.
B．She treats them as dolls.
C．She makes useful tools from them.
D．She treats them as weapons.
答案：B 细节理解题。由第一段“Scientists at Harvard University and Bates College find female chimpanzees (黑猩猩) appear to treat sticks as dolls”可知。
2．What causes the different toy selection of chimpanzees, according to the passage?
A．Sex difference. B．Socialization.
C．Environment. D．Cultural difference.
答案：A 细节理解题。由第一段最后一句话“Young males engage in such behavior much less frequently.”可知。
3．We can infer from the fourth paragraph that ________.
A．socialization has nothing to do with human's choice of playthings
B．sex difference is the only factor in human's choice of playthings
C．the biology factor may also influence toy choice
D．people choose different toys in different cultures
答案：C 细节理解题。由第四段“our work suggests that biology may also have an important role to play in activity preferences”可知。
4．It can be concluded from the passage that ________.
A．both humans and chimpanzees choose their playthings due to sex difference
B．different factors cause humans and chimpanzees to choose different playthings
C．only female chimpanzees have playthings
D．chimpanzees usually choose playthings for their children
答案：A 推理判断题。文章讲到，雌性黑猩猩常把棍子当作洋娃娃抱在怀里，而雄性黑猩猩却较少这样做；同时还提到，女孩子和男孩子玩的玩具不同。故选A项。

(2012·淄博一模)
Maricel Apatan, 22, stands in the kitchen of the Edsa Shangi-La Hotel in Manila, preparing to decorate a cheesecake. It would seem to be a routine task for a cake chef，but Maricel is no ordinary chef—she has no hands.
Maricel has come a long way since the day in September 2000 when she and her uncle were attacked near their farm. Fortunately, both of them survived, but the 11-year-old girl lost her hands. In 2004，she entered a Manila training centre for people with disabilities. She learned how to write and do housework and，more importantly, came to terms with her disability.
After graduation from high school, she took a two-year Hotel and Restaurant Management course and flourished even though she was the only disabled student in the course. After she moved back to Manila to continue her studies, the media started reporting on this determined young woman. She didn't shy away from the attention. “I wanted others living with disabilities to believe it's possible to live a normal life，”Maricel says.
When managers at the Edsa Shangri-La Hotel saw Maricel on television, they hired her as part of the hotel's Care for People project. She has also accomplished her goal of inspiring others. One of them is Ronelyn Calumpiano, a 21-year-old with cerebral palsy(脑瘫)．She saw Maricel on television and was moved by her confidence. Ronelyn will soon start classes and is already planning a career in IT.
Maricel's three younger sisters have moved to Manila. She pays for the rent of their small apartment，while their parents look after their family farm in Mindanao. “It is difficult to make ends meet but I don't lose hope. I believe anything is possible if you dream, work hard and pray.”
文章大意：22岁的Maricel Apatan是一位失去了双手的残疾人，但是她没有放弃希望，努力自立自强。
5．“Maricel is no ordinary chef” because________.
A. she is better than other chefs
B. she is physically disabled
C. she can do a routine task
D. she is good at decorating cakes
答案：B 细节理解题。由第一段最后一句话“It would seem to be a routine task for a cake chef，but Maricel is no ordinary chef—she has no hands.”可知，Maricel没有了双手，是一位残疾人。
6．Which of the following is NOT true about Maricel?
A. She survived while her uncle did not.
B. She didn't shy away from public attention.
C. She has inspired some disabled people.
D. She managed to make a living by herself.
答案：A 细节理解题。由第二段第二句话“Fortunately, both of them survived, but the 11-year-old girl lost her hands.”可知，她们二人都幸存了下来。所以A项错误。
7．The underlined word “flourished” in Paragraph 3 is similar in meaning to________.
A. was rejected B. was employed
C. recovered well D. developed well
答案：D 猜测词义题。所在句意是“她参加了课程培训，而且学习得很好，尽管她是班上唯一的一位残疾学生”。
8．According to the text, Ronelyn________.
A. works in an IT company
B. was inspired by Maricel
C. once lived in Mindanao
D. has already started classes
答案：B 细节理解题。由第四段最后三句话可知，Ronelyn受到了Maricel的鼓舞，准备接受培训，在IT业从事工作。
9．What does the author want to tell us in the text?
A. We should be determined and never lose hope.
B. We shouldn't look down upon the disabled.
C. We should help those who suffer disabilities.
D. We should feel sympathy for the unfortunate.
答案：A 推理判断题。由文章大意可知，我们应当学习Maricel的事迹，从中学习她坚强的毅力和不放弃的精神。

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[范文借鉴]
As_you_know,_food_shortages_have_hit_many_countries_in_the_world_and even caused social unrest in some areas. But who is responsible for the current world food crisis? First, annual world grains output has declined because of climate change. Then lots of farmland has been lost due to the rapid development of industry and urbanization.
Then what should we do to deal with the problem? On one hand, we should focus on the environmental protection and improve the ecology. On the other hand, strict measures should be taken to protect farmland.
As for me, I will call on the people around me to live thriftily. And for the moment, I think, we should study hard to develop science and help solve the food shortage in the future.

We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. “Buy it，” my wife said at once. “We'll carry it home on the roof rack. I've always wanted one like that.”
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡ 20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.
In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said, “There's a long line of cars behind. Why don't they overtake, I wonder？” In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.
“Right, sir，” he said. “Do you need any more help？”
I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer，” I said. “You have been very kind. I was just on the road.”He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “Well, well，” he said, laughing. “It's a cupboard you've got there! We thought it was something else.”
My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it's a cupboard, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.

Mind Your Behavior in Public Places
Last Sunday, I went sightseeing with my friends in the Fairy Lake Park._________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[范文借鉴]
Mind Your Behavior in Public Places
Last_Sunday，I_went_sighting_with_my_friends_in_the_Fairy_
Lake_Park. The park was full of freshness and beauty of spring, with the sun shining and birds singing. When I was enjoying the fantastic scenery around, something unpleasant caught my eyes. A young couple in a boat were eating, talking and laughing loudly as if they were the only people in the world. What's worse, they spat and even threw rubbish into the lake，totally ignoring the noticeable sign “No Littering” nearby. What a shame!
Such behavior left me deep in thought. If all visitors to the Fairy Lake Park do as the couple did, the lake will be severely polluted and soon turned into a huge dustbin. I think all of us should mind our behavior in public places. Only in this way can we live in more comfortable and beautiful surroundings.

Millions of people pass through the gates of Disney's entertainment parks in California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these place an almost universal attraction? What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks? Well, one reason is the way they're treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their “guests”， as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves.
All new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking “Traditions (传统) I”. Here, they learn about the company's history, how it is managed, and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success.
After passing “Traditions I”， the employees go on to do more specialized training for their specific (具体的) jobs. No detail (细节) is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight-hour days of training. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple, ordinary job, he replied, “What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds? We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the party.”
Even Disney's managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail (单轨车), and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week help them to see the company's goals more clearly.
All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in America or the world. As one longtime business observer once said, “How Disney treats people, communicates with them, rewards them, is in my view the very reason for his fifty years of success I have watched, very carefully and with great respect and admiration, the theory and practice of selling satisfaction and serving millions of people on a daily basis, successfully. It is what Disney does best.”

A．begin by receiving on-the-job training
B．must learn several jobs
C．begin as ticket takers

答案：A 细节理解题。由第二段首句“All new employees... by attending Disney University and taking ‘Traditions I’．”可知，新员工先要进行岗前培训。

Millions of people visit Yosemite National Park every year to see the tall waterfalls and mountains. These mou-
ntains are a splendid sight when viewed from the valley floor. Lots of stores, hotels, and restaurants are needed to handle the crowds. Also, water, roads, and other service systems are part of the infrastructure(基础设施) that must be maintained.
Unfortunately, these systems are starting to break down. It's not just in Yosemite but in national parks around the nation.
Yosemite is thirty years old according to Dennis Galvin, a National Park Service worker. The Park is not only old but worn out. Two or three times as many visitors come every year. That is too many visitors for the park to deal with.
Four years ago a storm washed out a water pipeline in the Grand Canyon. The National Park Service had to send water trucks to provide water for the visitors. Last month pipes almost broke again and roads had to be closed for a while.
Why hasn't the National Park Service kept up the park repairs? There is a lack of money. The United States has 378 monuments, parks, and wilderness areas. Between three and four billion dollars are needed for repairs.
Yosemite is one national park that does have money for repairs. It has two hundred million dollars but cannot spend it any way it chooses. When the park workers started widening the road, they were forced to stop by the Sierra Club. The club claimed that the road work was damaging the Merced River that runs through the park.
A Sierra Club lawyer, Julia Olson, feels that the infrastructure needs to be moved out of Yosemite. That way less pressure will be put on the already crowded park.
文章大意：约塞米蒂国家公园的基础设施正在崩溃，原因是游客过多，公园没有进行及时的维护。他们为什么不进行维修呢？因为他们的行动受到了环保组织Sierra Club的阻拦。
5．According to the text, the mountains in Yosemite look most splendid when they are appreciated from________.
A. the bottom of the valleys
B. the top of the mountains
C. the side of the mountains
D. the edge of the valleys
答案：A 细节理解题。从文章第一段第二句可以得知，选项A为正确答案。
6．National parks like Yosemite in the US find it increasingly difficult to meet the need of visitors because________.
A. their transport management needs improving
B. they spend too much on their service systems
C. their service systems frequently go out of order
D. they need help from environmental organizations
答案：C 细节理解题。从文章后半部分，特别是第四段的内容可以得知，约塞米蒂国家公园的基础设施经常出现问题，不堪大量游客游玩的巨大压力，因此C项是正确答案。
7．The main problem of Yosemite National Park is its________.
A. rundown water pipes
B. overcrowding
C. lack of money
D. narrow roads
答案：B 推理判断题。综合全文来看，约塞米蒂国家公园每天都有大量的游客前来参观，基础设施老化，面临着巨大的考验，一些供水设备经常出问题，道路也有待于拓宽，这些都是游客太多造成的结果，因此选项B是正确答案。
8．According to the text, the Sierra Club is most likely to be
________.
A. an environmental group
B. an information center
C. a travel service
D. a law firm
答案：A 推理判断题。从文章最后两段可以得知，当约塞米蒂国家公园拓宽公路的时候，这个组织制止他们，理由是破坏公园中的河流，该组织的律师甚至要求约塞米蒂国家公园清除基础设施，以减少给公园带来的压力，由此判断the Sierra Club是一个环保组织。
