Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is an important ecological screen for the north of China and even the whole country Building a green great wall to ensure China’s ecological security is one of the most important things of autonomous region.
The largest ecological function zone in the north of China, Inner Mongolia has a variety of landscapes, including forests, grasslands, wetlands, rivers and lakes. In recent years, the region’s environment has improved, with its forest and grassland area having increased and desert reduced.
However, it still faces a number of challenges in ecological preservation. For instance, the region faces severe water shortages with the number of lakes dropping from 427 in 1987 to 145 in 2010. In addition to a lack of rainfall, huge water consumption in agricultural and industrial production has worsened the water shortage. Too much use of fertilizers has damaged the soil and affected the growth of grass, accelerating the expansion of the desert, which results from a lack of water.
The local government encourages planting trees on grassland as they can get more pay for trees than by growing grass. However, the trees they plant often have a low survival rate as they have a high water consumption rate. Also, to treat wetlands, some areas have planted a large number of a single tree species. This practice may damage biodiversity (生物多样性) and endanger the survival of certain animals.
Experts suggest taking the region’s water resources and weather conditions into consideration in future ecological projects.

6. What does the underlined word “accelerating” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. weakening B. shortening
C. lessening D. quickening
7. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To tell the function of the green great wall.
B. To introduce the green great wall to the readers.
C. To provide guidance on traveling around Inner Mongolia.
D. To offer some advice on building the green great wall.

A young man named John met a senior citizen who had taught him many years before. But the teacher couldn’t recognize him by appearance. John told his teacher a story about how he inspired him to become a teacher.
“One day, a friend of mine entered the classroom with a new nice watch which I admired so much. So, I decided to steal it. Shortly after, my friend found that his watch was gone and immediately complained to his teacher, who was you. Then you went to the classroom and told the class about the lost watch. I wouldn’t give it back to him. Then you closed the door, told all the students to get up and began to search students’ pockets for it one by one. But you asked us to close our eyes. When you went through my pockets, you found the watch and took it. You went on searching everyone’s pockets till you finished finally. You never said anything about the incident, nor even took me aside to give me a moral lesson. But I received your message clearly. It was the most shameful day of my life, but it was also the day my dignity (尊严) was saved and I decided never to become a thief. And thanks to you, I understood what a real educator needs to do.”
John asked the professor if he still remembered the incident. He replied to him honestly, “I do remember the situation, the stolen watch and that I was looking for it in everyone’s pockets, but I didn’t remember you, because I also closed my eyes while searching.”
If to correct, you must make students feel ashamed or stupid and lose the respect of other people, you don’t know how to teach yet.
8. How did John meet his old teacher
A. John visited him specially. B. The passage didn’t tell us.
C. A friend told John about him. D. His teacher asked to see him.

C. Patient. D. Unfortunate

A. devote himself to his teaching B. learn some educational science
C. respect the students’ dignity D. help the students keep their secrets
11. Why did the teacher remember the situation but forget John

B. Because the teacher hated to mention the past.
C. Because he closed his eyes while searching them.
D. Because he pretended not to have recognized him.
D
Throwing a rock into a calm body of water creates a ripple (波纹；波浪般起伏) effect across the calm water, until those ripples reach the edge of the water. It also explains how our actions affect other people. When we show love and kindness to others, the powerful effect of our actions spreads out further. The same goes for dislike or anger. It is important that we should begin being more thoughtful about our actions and words.
Love can reach so many different people, making it a powerful force in the world. Anger has the same effect. The world would be a better place if we learn to love and show kindness to others. We can’t always control what others do, but we have power over our actions and contribute our own ripples into the world.
We don’t always know the effect that our actions have on others. There will be times when you are angry. Some people may feel a sense of short-lived relief when they throw a rock of anger into the world, but that feeling usually changes into shame and anger towards oneself eventually. Anger hurts yourself and the world in the meanwhile. I suggest walking away for a while when you feel angry. Spreading love and kindness not only has positive effects on others but also on ourselves. You get to enjoy it, and the people around you can enjoy it too. Personally, I feel my best when I help others and I feel my worst when I’ve made someone upset. When we put kindness into the world, we’ll feel thankfulness, sympathy, and understanding. Let my kindness guide my decisions and this allows love and connection to ripple out into the world.
It’s important that we take care of ourselves when we show love and kindness for others. When we love ourselves, we’re then able to love others. And when we let this love and kindness guide our decisions, the world will become more beautiful.
12. For what reason does the author mention the experience of throwing a rock into a pond
A. To introduce the topic of this text.
B. To see how ripples spread in water.
C. To teach us how to make big ripples.
D. To share the very interesting experience.
13. Why does the author advise you to walk away for a while when you are angry
A. To find a place to think over what has happened.
B. To talk about your problems with someone else.
C. To stop those ripples of anger from spreading.
D. To avoid seeing the person making you angry.
14. How is the third paragraph mainly developed
A. By referring to a theory. B. By making comparisons.
C. By giving some examples. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. Dislike usually leads to shame and anger in the end.
B. Anger has a similar effect on our actions to kindness.
C. Kindness or anger ripples out to other people nearby.
D. Love and kindness make the world much more beautiful.

Accident investigators found fault with a Powerpoint slide presented by NASA engineers. ___16___ The NASA engineers failed to make their message stand out. In fact, it is a challenge many presenters face, but there are ways to overcome it.
You need to tell your audience why they should listen as quickly as possible. A hook can help you do this. ___17___ Jamie Oliver, for example, started his TED Talk in 2010 with this fact: “Sadly, in the next 18 minutes, while we chat, four Americans will be dead from the food they eat.”
___18___ Most people structure presentations by building up to their strongest point instead of leading with it. But an audience’s attention is limited and with this approach, you will have lost them before you get to your key point.
In order to keep your audience attentive, use the power of one simple word —“you”— throughout your presentation. ___19___ Instead, try “ We have 45 offices worldwide, which you can access for your business needs. We intend to give you a key contact in each country if you choose to do business with us.”
Make your data feel real by telling stories that back it up, rather than just presenting figures and concepts. People relate easily and emotionally to stories, and stories make facts more digestible. ___20___ The best speakers reach into their bag of stories and bring their presentations to life.
A. As a speaker, you should appear more audience-friendly.
B. The hook can be a question, a shocking statement, or a video.
C. Once you have your audience hooked, you must keep them engaged.

F. The success of the presentation is determined by your ability to put information in a logical way.
G. Because of this, the audience can understand and also remember the points contained in them more easily.

There was a pretty strict system of segregation (种族隔离)in Atlanta. For a long, long time I could not go swimming. until there was a Negro YMCA(黑人基督教青年会). A Negro child in Atlanta could not go to any public park. I could not go to the so-called white schools. In many of the stores downtown, I couldn’t go to a lunch counter to buy a hamburger or a cup of coffee. I could not attend any of the theaters. There were one or two Negro theaters, but they didn’t get any of the main pictures. If they did get them, they got them two or three years later.
I had grown up hating not only segregation but also the cruel acts that grew out of it. I had seen police violence with my own eyes, and watched Negroes receive the most tragic injustice in the courts. I can remember the organization known as the Ku Kux Klan. It stands out white supremacy(至高无上), and it was an organization that in those days even used violent methods to preserve segregation and to keep the Negro in his place. I remember seeing the Klan actually beat Negro. I had passed spots where Negroes had been savagely lynched (用私刑). All of these things did something to my growing personality.
In my late childhood and early adolescence, two incidents happened that had a tremendous effect on my development. The first was the first empty seats at the front of the store. A young white clerk came up and murmured politely:
”I’ll be happy to wait on you if you’ll just move to those seats in the back. “
Dad immediately replied, ”There’s nothing wrong with these seats. We’re quite comfortable here. “
”Sorry, “said the clerk, ”but you’ll have to move. “
”We’ll either buy shoes sitting here, “my father said quickly, ”or we won’t buy shoes at all. "

However, the trees they plant often have a low survival rate as they have a high water consumption rate. Also, to treat wetlands, some areas have planted a large number of a single tree species. This practice may damage biodiversity (生物多样性) and endanger the survival of certain animals.
Experts suggest taking the region’s water resources and weather conditions into consideration in future ecological projects.

A young man named John met a senior citizen who had taught him many years before. But the teacher couldn’t recognize him by appearance. John told his teacher a story about how he inspired him to become a teacher.
“One day, a friend of mine entered the classroom with a new nice watch which I admired so much. So, I decided to steal it. Shortly after, my friend found that his watch was gone and immediately complained to his teacher, who was you. Then you went to the classroom and told the class about the lost watch. I wouldn’t give it back to him. Then you closed the door, told all the students to get up and began to search students’ pockets for it one by one. But you asked us to close our eyes. When you went through my pockets, you found the watch and took it. You went on searching everyone’s pockets till you finished finally. You never said anything about the incident, nor even took me aside to give me a moral lesson. But I received your message clearly. It was the most shameful day of my life, but it was also the day my dignity (尊严) was saved and I decided never to become a thief. And thanks to you, I understood what a real educator needs to do.”
John asked the professor if he still remembered the incident. He replied to him honestly, “I do remember the situation, the stolen watch and that I was looking for it in everyone’s pockets, but I didn’t remember you, because I also closed my eyes while searching.”
If to correct, you must make students feel ashamed or stupid and lose the respect of other people, you don’t know how to teach yet.

Throwing a rock into a calm body of water creates a ripple (波纹；波浪般起伏) effect across the calm water, until those ripples reach the edge of the water. It also explains how our actions affect other people. When we show love and kindness to others, the powerful effect of our actions spreads out further. The same goes for dislike or anger. It is important that we should begin being more thoughtful about our actions and words.
Love can reach so many different people, making it a powerful force in the world. Anger has the same effect. The world would be a better place if we learn to love and show kindness to others. We can’t always control what others do, but we have power over our actions and contribute our own ripples into the world.
We don’t always know the effect that our actions have on others. There will be times when you are angry. Some people may feel a sense of short-lived relief when they throw a rock of anger into the world, but that feeling usually changes into shame and anger towards oneself eventually. Anger hurts yourself and the world in the meanwhile. I suggest walking away for a while when you feel angry. Spreading love and kindness not only has positive effects on others but also on ourselves. You get to enjoy it, and the people around you can enjoy it too. Personally, I feel my best when I help others and I feel my worst when I’ve made someone upset. When we put kindness into the world, we’ll feel thankfulness, sympathy, and understanding. Let my kindness guide my decisions and this allows love and connection to ripple out into the world.
It’s important that we take care of ourselves when we show love and kindness for others. When we love ourselves, we’re then able to love others. And when we let this love and kindness guide our decisions, the world will become more beautiful.
12. For what reason does the author mention the experience of throwing a rock into a pond
A. To introduce the topic of this text.
B To see how ripples spread in water.
C To teach us how to make big ripples.
D. To share the very interesting experience.
13. Why does the author advise you to walk away for a while when you are angry
A. To find a place to think over what has happened.
B. To talk about your problems with someone else.
C. To stop those ripples of anger from spreading.
D. To avoid seeing the person making you angry.
14. How is the third paragraph mainly developed
A. By referring to a theory. B. By making comparisons.
C. By giving some examples. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. Dislike usually leads to shame and anger in the end.
B. Anger has a similar effect on our actions to kindness.
C. Kindness or anger ripples out to other people nearby.
D. Love and kindness make the world much more beautiful.

Let my kindness guide my decisions and this allows love and connection to ripple out into the world.（当我们把善良带到这个世界上时，我们会感到感激、同情和理解。让我的善良指引我的决定，这会让爱和联系在世界上荡漾）”推知，本段是通过对比的方式进行陈述的。故选B。

考查时态。句意：去年，做了一项关于为什么人们向陌生人求助以及为什么这两位女士受到欢迎的调查。根据时间词last year，句子为一般过去时；短语“turn to sb for help”意为“向某人求助”，为固定搭配，设空处在介词about后的宾语从句中为谓语动词，也用一般过去时态。故填turned。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：大多数人在调查中接受采访时表示，这种方式可以帮助保护他们的隐私和来自于女性的建议实用有效。分析句子结构可知，句子谓语为said，故设空处为非谓语动词，逻辑主语Most people与动词interview之间为动宾关系，故用过去分词形式，作后置定语。故填interviewed。

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There was a pretty strict system of segregation (种族隔离)in Atlanta. For a long, long time I could not go swimming. until there was a Negro YMCA(黑人基督教青年会). A Negro child in Atlanta could not go to any public park. I could not go to the so-called white schools. In many of the stores downtown, I couldn’t go to a lunch counter to buy a hamburger or a cup of coffee. I could not attend any of the theaters. There were one or two Negro theaters, but they didn’t get any of the main pictures. If they did get them, they got them two or three years later.
I had grown up hating not only segregation but also the cruel acts that grew out of it. I had seen police violence with my own eyes, and watched Negroes receive the most tragic injustice in the courts. I can remember the organization known as the Ku Kux Klan. It stands out white supremacy(至高无上), and it was an organization that in those days even used violent methods to preserve segregation and to keep the Negro in his place. I remember seeing the Klan actually beat Negro. I had passed spots where Negroes had been savagely lynched (用私刑). All of these things did something to my growing personality.
In my late childhood and early adolescence, two incidents happened that had a tremendous effect on my development. The first was the first empty seats at the front of the store. A young white clerk came up and murmured politely:
”I’ll be happy to wait on you if you’ll just move to those seats in the back. “
Dad immediately replied, ”There’s nothing wrong with these seats. We’re quite comfortable here. “
”Sorry, “said the clerk, ”but you’ll have to move. “
”We’ll either buy shoes sitting here, “my father said quickly, ”or we won’t buy shoes at all. "

Therefore he took me by the hand and walked out of the store.

I remember riding with him another day when he accidentally drove past a stop sign.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Therefore he took me by the hand and walked out of the store. This was the first time I had seen Dad so furious. The experience revealed to me at a very early age that my father had not adjusted to the system, and he played a great part in shaping my conscience. I still remember walking down the street beside him as he muttered, "I don't care how long I have to live with this system. I will never accept it." And he never has.
I remember riding with him another day when he accidentally drove past a stop sign. A policeman pulled up to the car and said:" All right, boy, pull over and let me see your license." My father instantly retorted:" Let me make it clear to you that you aren't talking to a boy. If you persist in referring to me as boy, I will be forced to act as if I don't hear a word you are saying." The policeman was so shocked in hearing a Negro talk to him so forthrightly that he didn't quite know how to respond. He nervously wrote the ticket and left the scene as quickly as possible.
