阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
A recent survey (调查) shows that only about a third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.
1. How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday
·Finding:A full 24% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.
·Step:Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.
2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday
·Finding:Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30%wash their hands only four times a day, half of the number doctors recommend.
·Step:We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day-often inviting germs (病菌) to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.
3. How often do you think about fighting germs
·Finding:Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.
·Step:Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge (海绵) that can carry more germs than anything else To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.
1. Doctors suggest that people should wash their hands .
A. twice a day B. three times a day
C. four times a day D. eight times a day
2. Which of the following is true according to the text
A. A third American seniors brush their teeth only once a day.
B. There are less than 300 types of bacteria in the mouth.
C. We should wash our hands before touching a door handle.
D. A kitchen sponge can carry more germs than a toilet.

Have you ever thought that your life will be perfect if something in your outside world changes You may say, “I will live happily if I find my soul mate.” You may say, “If the perfect job comes along, I will get satisfaction. My problem is that my boss is stupid.” Or you may say, “If I have a child, I will know what it is like to be loved.” The problem is that it is not the outside world that prevents you from experiencing peace, love and joy. Instead, it is your own internal (内部的) patterns that get in your way.
To prove this point, at my weekend programs, I had my students look at a flower on my table. Then I asked them to share their experiences. Some showed a state of complete joy because staring at the flower reminded them of their wedding or a great trip with their lovers. Others said the flower made them angry because it reminded them of a gift given by a former partner who turned against them. Some students even told me that the flower reminded them of their beloved grandmothers’ gardens with some shedding tears (流泪)of joy and others shedding tears of sadness. However, the flower was still just a flower.
Our internal patterns decide whether each moment is filled with peace, anger, joy, love or sadness. When you don’t realize that it is your own internal state that is creating your experience, you are likely to blame (责备)the external situations in your life. Most people aren’t taught that emotion is a choice. And they aren’t taught how to change those lower emotional patterns such as anger, anxiety, sadness and so on. Next time, when you meet something bad, please look at your internal state. When you accept that you are responsible for your own state, and find the courage to turn inward, you can step out of being a slave to what shows up in your external world.
4. Why does the author mention the examples in Paragraph 1
A. To lead to the topic of this passage.
B. To complain about imperfect life.
C. To show common problems in life.
D. To encourage people to change the outside world.
5. How does the author prove his opinion
A. By giving examples. B. By doing an experiment.
C. By telling a related story. D. By comparing other people’s opinions.
6. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph
A. To step out of negative emotions.
B. To pay attention to our internal world.
C. To share our real emotions with others.
D. To use different methods to change bad emotions.
7. What does the author want to express through the passage
A. Our external world matters a lot.
B. Our emotions can affect our health.
C. Our internal patterns truly decide our emotions.
D. Our experiences have a great influence on our emotions.
C
At any moment, about half the world’s population is wearing denim (牛仔布). But few realize tiny bits of denim have been adding up to a surprising amount of pollution in water, as a new study shows.
Sam Athey, one of the study’s authors, says, “Even though denim is made of a natural material—cotton—it contains chemicals.” Cotton fibers are treated with many types of chemicals, she notes. Some improve its durability (耐久性) and feel. Others give denim its distinctive blue color.
Athey and her team washed jeans and found that about 50,000 microfibers come off from each pair per wash. Not all of those fibers make their way into the environment. Wastewater treatment plants catch about 83 to 99 percent of them. Catching 99 percent may sound pretty good. But one percent of 50,000 is still 500 fibers per wash. And since every pair of jeans is washed again and again, it still adds up to lots of microfibers entering water environments.
Denim microfibers showed up in sediment (沉淀物) from the Great Lakes. More of these fibers polluted a series of shallow lakes in southern Ontario. They even turned up in sediment from the Arctic Ocean in northern Canada. The team found denim accounted for 12 to 23 percent of microfibers in the sediment. There were other microfibers too. But the team focused on denim because so many people wear jeans.
“Everyone wears jeans so they could be our largest input of microfibers into our streams and soils,” Athey says. “An easy way to limit that is by washing our jeans less often.” Athey grew up thinking she should wash her jeans after every couple of wearings, but most jean companies recommend washing them no more than once a month. “The solution is not that you shouldn’t wear jeans,” she says. “We need to buy fewer denim clothes and only wash them when they truly need it.”
8. Why are chemicals used to deal with cotton according to the passage
A. To avoid its harm.
B. To make it into denim.
C. To remove its blue color.
D. To prevent fibers from falling.
9. The figures in Paragraph 3 are intended to show _________.
A. wastewater treatment plants are good at dealing with microfibers
B. few microfibers are entering water environments
C. catching 99 percent means doing no harm to the environment
D. the effects of microfibers can not be ignored
10. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A The seriousness of denim pollution.
B. The types of water pollution.
C. The wide uses of denim.
D. The large water area of Canada.
11. What does Athey suggest people do about denim pollution
A. Wash jeans more often.
B. Avoid wearing jeans.
C. Produce less jeans.
D. Reduce denim consumption.
D
With greater climate catastrophe (气候突变) on Earth, it is natural for us to make every effort to stop the potential floods, snowstorms, and alarming reports from scientists. For many of us (myself included), part of that means running out to buy reusable straws, organic cleaners, and packaging-free products.
However, before you are delighted at “green” purchases, take a second to consider the results of a new study from Arizona University. By comparing the shopping habits, mental health and environmental impact of young people, the researchers reconfirmed a principle: Buying less beats buying “green” stuff without effort. And that is true whether you are looking at the impact that your purchases have on the Earth or on your own happiness.
It should not come as a shock that simply consuming less is better for the planet. After all, every new item a factory yields requires some resources to produce. Take plastic bag bans for instance. If your city is getting rid of single-use shopping bags, it can be attractive to pay for a fashionable organic cotton bag hanging in the check-out line of your local supermarket. However, experts insist that growing cotton is actually no better for the Earth than producing the conventional plastic bags. Then what is your best bet for carrying your groceries if you care about sustainability Any bag you already own.
It is not just the Earth that will be happier if you buy less. You will feel more contented too, according to the new study. “People believe that they might well be self-satisfied about becoming environmentally conscious through ‘green’ buying patterns, but it doesn’t seem to be that way”, said the lead researcher Sabrina Helm. “Reduced consumption has effects on increased happiness, but we don’t see that with ‘green’ consumption.”
“Owning every new ‘green’ product on the market might make you feel contented, but if you relieve yourself of that burden of ownership, most people report feeling a lot better,” said Helm.
12. Why does the writer mention “green” shopping habits
A. To call on a green lifestyle. B. To present a half true “green” truth.
C. To introduce a social trend. D. To praise people’s green efforts.
13. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3
A. Growing cotton is far worse for the Earth.
B. Reduced consumption is better for the Earth.
C. Using any bag you have is the best bet.
D. The plastic bag bans are of no effect.
14. What does the underlined word “contented” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. The sense of achievement. B. The sense of relief.
C. The sense of happiness. D. The sense of security.
15. What might be the best title for the text
A. Less is More B. The Greener, The Happier
C. Happiness Guarantee D. What Are Green Products

【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了关于健康习惯的调查。在一天刷几次牙,洗手沐浴几次,以及多久考虑过和细菌战斗一次等方面描述了一些美国老年人的习惯,并给出了专家的建议。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据短文信息“Finding:And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day---half of the number which doctors recommend(发现:几乎百分之三十的老年人一天只洗四次手----是医生推荐量的一半。)”可见医生建议一天要洗八次手。故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据短文信息“Step:Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge (海绵) that can carry more germs than anything else (步骤:你知道不是你的厕所,而是你的厨房海绵携带的细菌比其他任何东西都多吗 )”可知,厨房海绵携带病菌的数量要比厕所还要多。故选D。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。A项“a guide book(指南)”;B项“a popular magazine(一本受欢迎的杂志)”;C项“a book review(书评)”;D项“an official document(官方文件)”。通读全文,尤其是第一段“A recent survey (调查) shows that only about a third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.(最近的一项调查显示,只有三分之一的美国老年人有正确的习惯。这里有一些发现和专家建议。)”可知,这篇短文主要介绍了一个关于健康问题的调查报告,并针对这些调查结果提出了相应的建议,由此可知,本文最有可能出自一本流行的生活类杂志。故选B。

Have you ever thought that your life will be perfect if something in your outside world changes You may say, “I will live happily if I find my soul mate.” You may say, “If the perfect job comes along, I will get satisfaction. My problem is that my boss is stupid.” Or you may say, “If I have a child, I will know what it is like to be loved.” The problem is that it is not the outside world that prevents you from experiencing peace, love and joy. Instead, it is your own internal (内部) patterns that get in your way.
To prove this point, at my weekend programs, I had my students look at a flower on my table. Then I asked them to share their experiences. Some showed a state of complete joy because staring at the flower reminded them of their wedding or a great trip with their lovers. Others said the flower made them angry because it reminded them of a gift given by a former partner who turned against them. Some students even told me that the flower reminded them of their beloved grandmothers’ gardens with some shedding tears (流泪)of joy and others shedding tears of sadness. However, the flower was still just a flower.
Our internal patterns decide whether each moment is filled with peace, anger, joy, love or sadness. When you don’t realize that it is your own internal state that is creating your experience, you are likely to blame (责备)the external situations in your life. Most people aren’t taught that emotion is a choice. And they aren’t taught how to change those lower emotional patterns such as anger, anxiety, sadness and so on. Next time, when you meet something bad, please look at your internal state. When you accept that you are responsible for your own state, and find the courage to turn inward, you can step out of being a slave to what shows up in your external world.

At any moment, about half the world’s population is wearing denim (牛仔布). But few realize tiny bits of denim have been adding up to a surprising amount of pollution in water, as a new study shows.
Sam Athey, one of the study’s authors, says, “Even though denim is made of a natural material—cotton—it contains chemicals.” Cotton fibers are treated with many types of chemicals, she notes. Some improve its durability (耐久性) and feel. Others give denim its distinctive blue color.
Athey and her team washed jeans and found that about 50,000 microfibers come off from each pair per wash. Not all of those fibers make their way into the environment. Wastewater treatment plants catch about 83 to 99 percent of them. Catching 99 percent may sound pretty good. But one percent of 50,000 is still 500 fibers per wash. And since every pair of jeans is washed again and again, it still adds up to lots of microfibers entering water environments.
Denim microfibers showed up in sediment (沉淀物) from the Great Lakes. More of these fibers polluted a series of shallow lakes in southern Ontario. They even turned up in sediment from the Arctic Ocean in northern Canada. The team found denim accounted for 12 to 23 percent of microfibers in the sediment. There were other microfibers too. But the team focused on denim because so many people wear jeans.
“Everyone wears jeans so they could be our largest input of microfibers into our streams and soils,” Athey says. “An easy way to limit that is by washing our jeans less often.” Athey grew up thinking she should wash her jeans after every couple of wearings, but most jean companies recommend washing them no more than once a month. “The solution is not that you shouldn’t wear jeans,” she says. “We need to buy fewer denim clothes and only wash them when they truly need it.”
8. Why are chemicals used to deal with cotton according to the passage
A. To avoid its harm.
B. To make it into denim.
C. To remove its blue color.
D. To prevent fibers from falling.
9. The figures in Paragraph 3 are intended to show _________.
A. wastewater treatment plants are good at dealing with microfibers
B. few microfibers are entering water environments
C. catching 99 percent means doing no harm to the environment
D. the effects of microfibers can not be ignored
10. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The seriousness of denim pollution.
B. The types of water pollution.
C. The wide uses of denim.
D. The large water area of Canada.
11. What does Athey suggest people do about denim pollution
A Wash jeans more often.
B. Avoid wearing jeans.
C. Produce less jeans.
D. Reduce denim consumption.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了一项新研究表明,牛仔布会对水造成严重污染。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Even though denim is made of a natural material—cotton—it contains chemicals.(尽管牛仔是由天然材料——棉布——制成的,但它含有化学物质。)”和“Cotton fibers are treated with many types of chemicals, she notes. Some improve its durability (耐久性) and feel. Others give denim its distinctive blue color.(她指出,棉花纤维经过多种化学物质处理。有些可以提高它的耐用性和手感。另一些人则赋予牛仔布独特的蓝色。)”可知,牛仔布是用棉布制成的,棉花纤维经过多种化学物质处理,可以提高棉的耐用性和手感,并给它染上牛仔布的颜色,由此可推测出,用化学品来处理棉布的目的是让它变成牛仔布。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“about 50,000 microfibers come off from each pair per wash(每洗一次牛仔裤会脱落约50000条微纤维)”和“Wastewater treatment plants catch about 83 to 99 percent of them. Catching 99 percent may sound pretty good. But one percent of 50,000 is still 500 fibers per wash.(废水处理厂捕获了大约83%到99%的微纤维。99%的命中率听起来不错。但每次洗涤的50000条微纤维中的1%仍然是500条纤维。)”可知,每次洗牛仔裤会脱落约50000条微纤维,而废水处理厂不能完全处理掉这些微纤维,仍然有一部分不能被处理,哪怕洗一次牛仔裤会留下1%的微纤维,也是500条微纤维,由此可推测出,微纤维的影响不能忽视。故选D。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Denim microfibers showed up in sediment (沉淀物) from the Great Lakes. More of these fibers polluted a series of shallow lakes in southern Ontario. They even turned up in sediment from the Arctic Ocean in northern Canada. The team found denim accounted for 12 to 23 percent of microfibers in the sediment. There were other microfibers too. But the team focused on denim because so many people wear jeans.(牛仔布微纤维出现在五大湖的沉积物中。这些纤维更多地污染了安大略省南部的一系列浅水湖。它们甚至出现在加拿大北部北冰洋的沉积物中。研究小组发现,牛仔布占沉积物中微纤维的12%至23%。还有其他的微纤维。但该团队将重点放在了牛仔裤上,因为很多人都穿牛仔裤。)”可知,牛仔布微纤维出现在五大湖的沉积物中,污染了一系列浅水湖,还出现在北冰洋的沉积物中,牛仔布微纤维在沉积物中占据12%至23%,由于穿牛仔裤的人很多,所以团队把注意力放在牛仔布污染上。由此可知,本段主要讲述的是牛仔布污染的严重性。故选A。
11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“We need to buy fewer denim clothes and only wash them when they truly need it.(我们需要少买牛仔服,并且只在它们真正需要洗的时候才洗。)”可知,Athey建议人们少买牛仔布衣服。故选D。

With greater climate catastrophe (气候突变) on Earth, it is natural for us to make every effort to stop the potential floods, snowstorms, and alarming reports from scientists. For many of us (myself included), part of that means running out to buy reusable straws, organic cleaners, and packaging-free products.
However, before you are delighted at “green” purchases, take a second to consider the results of a new study from Arizona University. By comparing the shopping habits, mental health and environmental impact of young people, the researchers reconfirmed a principle: Buying less beats buying “green” stuff without effort. And that is true whether you are looking at the impact that your purchases have on the Earth or on your own happiness.
It should not come as a shock that simply consuming less is better for the planet. After all, every new item a factory yields requires some resources to produce. Take plastic bag bans for instance. If your city is getting rid of single-use shopping bags, it can be attractive to pay for a fashionable organic cotton bag hanging in the check-out line of your local supermarket. However, experts insist that growing cotton is actually no better for the Earth than producing the conventional plastic bags. Then what is your best bet for carrying your groceries if you care about sustainability Any bag you already own.
It is not just the Earth that will be happier if you buy less. You will feel more contented too, according to the new study. “People believe that they might well be self-satisfied about becoming environmentally conscious through ‘green’ buying patterns, but it doesn’t seem to be that way”, said the lead researcher Sabrina Helm. “Reduced consumption has effects on increased happiness, but we don’t see that with ‘green’ consumption.”
“Owning every new ‘green’ product on the market might make you feel contented but if you relieve yourself of that burden of ownership, most people report feeling a lot better,” said Helm.
12. Why does the writer mention “green” shopping habits
A. To call on a green lifestyle. B. To present a half true “green” truth.
C. To introduce a social trend. D. To praise people’s green efforts.
13. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3
A. Growing cotton is far worse for the Earth.
B. Reduced consumption is better for the Earth.
C. Using any bag you have is the best bet.
D. The plastic bag bans are of no effect.
14. What does the underlined word “contented” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. The sense of achievement. B. The sense of relief.
C. The sense of happiness. D. The sense of security.
15. What might be the best title for the text
A. Less is More B. The Greener, The Happier
C. Happiness Guarantee D. What Are Green Products
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。亚利桑那大学的一项新研究结果表明,减少消费比所谓的“绿色消费”对地球更好,这会让人类得到更多。文章对此进行了介绍。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第二句和第三句“By comparing the shopping habits, mental health and environmental impact of young people, the researchers reconfirmed a principle: Buying less beats buying “green” stuff without effort. And that is true whether you are looking at the impact that your purchases have on the Earth or on your own happiness.(通过比较年轻人的购物习惯、心理健康和环境影响,研究人员再次确认了一个原则:少买比不费力地买“绿色”东西好。无论你是在看你的购买对地球的影响还是对你自己的幸福的影响。)”可知,作者提到“绿色”购物习惯是为了呈现半真半假的“绿色”真相。故选B。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段第一句“It should not come as a shock that simply consuming less is better for the planet.(简单地减少消费对地球更好,这一点不应该让人感到震惊。)”可知,第三段主要是讲减少消费对地球更好。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“Owning every new ‘green’ product on the market(拥有市场上每一个新的“绿色”产品)”和“but if you relieve yourself of that burden of ownership, most people report feeling a lot better(但如果你减轻了拥有这些东西的负担,却会让大多数人感觉好很多)”可知,此处是指拥有市场上每一个新的“绿色”产品可能会让你满足,所以contented意为“满足的”。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“However, before you are delighted at “green” purchases, take a second to consider the results of a new study from Arizona University. By comparing the shopping habits, mental health and environmental impact of young people, the researchers reconfirmed a principle: Buying less beats buying “green” stuff without effort. And that is true whether you are looking at the impact that your purchases have on the Earth or on your own happiness.(然而,在你为“绿色”购物感到高兴之前,花点时间考虑一下亚利桑那大学的一项新研究结果。通过比较年轻人的购物习惯、心理健康和环境影响,研究人员再次确认了一个原则:少买比不费力地买“绿色”东西好。无论你是在看你的购买对地球的影响还是对你自己的幸福的影响。)”和第三段第一句“It should not come as a shock that simply consuming less is better for the planet.(简单地减少消费对地球更好,这一点不应该让人感到震惊。)”可知,文章主要是讲减少消费比所谓的“绿色消费”对地球更好,这会让人类得到更多。故选A。
