You're looking for a holiday with a difference It's on offer right here! Come with us on a very special tour of the great southern continent Antarctica. It's the only untouched wilderness left on our planet. For 10 months of the year, the continent is inaccessible by ships. Consequently, our tours are conducted in the brief period in late spring when the ice has melted and we can reach Antarctica.
So why should I go there
Antarctica may lack man-made attractions, but its natural beauty is breathtaking. You'll want to tell your grandchildren about this trip in years to come. Ninety-eight percent of this continent is covered with ice, which contains 70 per cent of the world's fresh water, although it receives very little rainfall.
What kind of things could I see and do there
Our tours are conducted in summer, but you have to remember that summer is six months later in the Southern Hemisphere. Apart from the Arctic region, Antarctica is one of the two areas on earth where you can enjoy 24 hours of sunlight. To get there, we have our own ship, which is equipped with a helicopter and a landing pad. Once there you'll be able to observe penguins and birds, and even watch whales and seals in the ocean.
Do your tours damage the environment
No, not at all. We don't disturb the wildlife, and we remove all the rubbish that we produce. We strictly follow the guidelines contained in the 1991 Antarctica Agreement, which bans oil exploration and protects wildlife.
How long does a tour last
That depends on which tour package you choose. You can visit the Antarctic region for as long as a month or, if you depart from Australia, you can see the Antarctic continent from the air in just one day. We will fly you over the continent so you can see it from the comfort of your seat on one of our aircraft. The exact route depends on the weather on the day of the . tour, but normally the flights pass over the Antarctic coastline and then head inland over vast landscapes formed by ice and dramatic mountain ranges.
That sounds really interesting. How do I make a booking
South Pole Tours are based in Christchurch, New Zealand. Call us on 25674874 today!

Camping is a rite of passage（成人礼） if you grow up in Canada. It's a child's first taste of what living in the wild really means. But growing up as an immigrant（移民） from India, I thought it was strange. I simply didn't understand why so many people loved nature when the comfort of your home still existed.
Then I turned 20 and started trying new things. I had been experiencing mental health issues for quite some time and I discovered being out in nature helped me calm down. So, I decided to try camping.
The night before the trip I was quite excited. Then I overheard a conversation between my father and mother. "Why does she have to do this Doesn't she know she can just stay at home " my father asked. "This is what Canadian kids do, it's okay, she'll be fine!" my mom explained. My parents had no faith in me surviving one night in the wild.
My friends and I set up our campsite in the woods. As the day went on, we ate, played by the water and met our camping neighbors. Time felt like it slowed down; life felt gentler and easier. Suddenly, I realized: I was doing it! I was camping! As the day turned into night, the stars came out and I was amazed by all the twinkling lights above me. I won't lie. I had the worst sleep of my life. Morning came and I was up and ready to make breakfast, coffee and tea. I didn't even realize I was sad to leave until we started packing everything up.
I wasn't just leaving, having accomplished something I never thought I would do. I was leaving with a real sense of community, a real sense of appreciation for what the great outdoors had to offer, and a completely different outlook on an activity that I had thought strange for so many years. It made me realize the beauty of Canada wasn't in the things we did, but in the community we built.
56．What was the author's attitude toward camping as a child
A．She was passionate. B．She was frightened.
C．She felt it unnecessary. D．She considered it beneficial.

58．What can be used to best describe the writer's feeling during the camp
A．Eager and proud. B．Relaxed and fulfilled.
C．Challenging but satisfied. D．Confident but regretful.
59．What did the author think of the camping trip
A．It deepened her love of camping.
B．It helped her find a sense of belonging.
C．It was peaceful sleeping outdoors.
D．It gave her the courage to overcome challenges.
60．What is the proper title of the passage

The high-tech revolution has inspired a pleasure endless stream of new and exciting electronic products that we just can't live without. In fact, the speed of technological innovation can make last year's must-have this year's junk. And that's the problem.
The average life span of a personal computer has been shortened to around 18 months- and this has nothing to do with worn-mice or damaged disk drives. Simply put, electronic products can become out of date before you've even figured out how they work.
So what happens to all those old keyboards, monitors, organizers and CPUs Most are stored away in a warehouse （仓库）, taking up valuable space. But many end up in landfills, and that is where the trouble really puter monitors can contain up to 3.5 kg of dangerous waste once they are no longer in use.
Unfortunately, this problem is not going to disappear anytime soon—in fact, it is growing by the minute. In Japan alone, people throw away some 20 million TVs, washing machines, refrigerators and air conditioners each year. What is to be done with all this techno-trash
One way to reduce waste is to avoid throwing away in the first place. Many companies reuse parts from old products in new models. This is not cheating-it makes both environmental and economic sense. Cannon, for example, has adopted a philosophy known as "kyosei", meaning "living and working together for the common good "-a goal of achieving balance between the environment and the corporate （公司的） activities. The company has even gone so far as to say that environmental assurance should come before all business activities, and that companies unable to achieve such assurance do not deserve to remain in business.
As part of that effort, the company has started a global recycling program with a goal to reduce, reuse and recycle more than 90% of its used products. In 1999, for example, Cannon collected 128, 000 copying machines and 12, 175 tons of toner cartridges （色粉盒） in Japan, Europe and the United States.
Some argue that electronic garbage can also be controlled during the design phase. This concept, called "design for the environment". Not only does this make environmental sense, but it saves the customer money. IBM, meanwhile, recently planned programs in Canada and the US that, for a small fee, will take back not just an IBM but also any manufacturer's computer. Depending on the age and condition, the equipment will then be either donated to charity, or broken down for reusable parts and recyclable materials.
61．With the rapid development of science and technology high-tech products can ____.
A．last for many years B．become worn out soon
C．become old and useless soon D．be used forever
62．What is not the problem caused by the out-of-date high-tech products
A．Too much room is needed for their probable storage.
B．People do not know how to deal with them at all.
C．The amount of this techno-trash is increasing everyday without stop.
D．Harmful substances contained within may pollute the environment.
63．What idea can be learned through the example of Canon
A．Business must be achieved at the cost of environment.
B．Environment holds great importance than business.
C．Business and environment has little impact on each other.
D．Recycling makes only environment sense instead of economic benefits.
64．When the author says, "electronic garbage can be controlled during the design phase", he means ____.
A．while designing products, we must make something to contain garbage
B．while designing products, don't throw away garbage away
C．while designing, we must work out how much garbage the new product will bring about
D．while designing, we must take environment into consideration.
65．What can be inferred from reading the passage
A．The problem caused by high-tech products can't be solved in short time
B．The techno-trash problem can easily be solved in big countries
C．The problem can be solved to some degree if enough attention is paid
D．It is still hard to say whether this problem can be solved or not

Everyone knows that the choices we make affect our future. Suppose I am an intelligent student with good marks. However, being lazy, I do badly in my examinations. I am refused entry to university and cannot find a good job. The golden future I had imagined will never be. All these are all from a bad choice!
However, your choices affect your future in a way that is a lot more complicated. This is because nearly all the choices you make affect your character. Your character is displayed through your choices, but it is also formed by them. Whenever you make a choice, your character changes or grows, or diminishes （降低, 减弱） depending on whether the decision you made is wise or foolish. Your character is being made by you, bit by bit, choice by choice. And so, you become the sort of person who will maké a certain kind of choice in a certain situation.
Some will argue this is not true. After all, the field of human choice is a narrow one. Most of the things that form us in our lives are not subject to choice. We cannot choose when and where to be born, whether our families will be rich or poor, kind or cruel. We cannot even entirely control who we will meet in our lives. With so much that we cannot choose, how can we be said to be responsible for anything
There is some truth in this. We are thrown into life without any say over the matter, and have little control over most of it. However, we do have some power of choice, and we do control the most important thing of all: how we respond to circumstances. We can choose to keep struggling in hard times, or to give up.
This ability to choose how we behave and respond is a great gift. It is our key to having confidence in the future. It is human nature to fear the future, as the future is unknown. You cannot entirely control what will happen to you tomorrow. But if you have confidence in your character, formed by years of making good choices, then you do know one thing for certain about the future: no matter what happens, you will make a choice that you will be proud of.
At every moment, then, practise forming your character when you make your choices, no matter how small they are. Remember: your choices form your character. And your character determines your future.
66．With the example in paragraph1, the author intends to show that ____.
A．a good choice of job is a guarantee of one's bright future
B．intelligent people always tend to be somewhat lazy
C．a bad choice of being lazy may affect one's life bit by bit
D．a golden future will never be if one is refused by university
67．Your choices may affect your future in a complicated way because ____.
A．your future is solely determined by a certain choice
B．your choices and character shape each other, finally influencing the future
C．your future can only be formed if the choices are right
D．your character is always changing and so is your future
68．What does the underlined part mean in paragraph. 3
A．not chosen as a subject to learn
B．not based on your choices
C．not depended on your future
D．not affected by your pleasure
69．According to the passage, why is the ability to choose how we behave considered a great gift
A．It guarantees you to have confidence in the future.
B．It ensures complete control over one's future life.
C．It eliminates your fear of the unknown future.
D．It provides you a favorable future as expected.
70．What do the "choice" mentioned in the passage refer to
A．Choose to be a brave man with nothing to fear of.
B．Choose to be a hardworking man to get a bright future.
C．Choose to have a positive response to the unknown future.
D．Choose to have a determined mind to keep struggling.

（2024高三上·和平期末） 阅读短文, 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
I remember the day I sat down and considered my future quite clearly. I had been widowed recently, and I had an elderly mother to support but no income of my own. I no longer had the luxury of a husband supporting me, so it was time to get a job. With my background and qualifications, the easiest way for me to earn money was to become a teacher.
A friend told me his school was looking for an English teacher, so I arranged an interview with the principal. Fifteen minutes after stepping into her office, I was given the job and asked ifI was able to begin teaching that same day. The current English teacher appeared very keen to leave!
I wondered why she had made such an abrupt decision, but I was secretly pleased that her loss had become my gain. I walked towards the classroom on that first day, wondering about the wisdom of my decision to accept the principal's offer. The thought of standing in front of a group of teenagers made me scared and I started to panic.
The classroom was empty when I entered it. Slowly, the teenagers I was expecting arrived in groups of four and five. Finally every seat was taken and I stared out at the blank faces in front of me. They had been shown little respect and so they had given up on education and on themselves. No one was listening or seemed to care what I was doing. I knew I wasn't a gifted teacher and it was only my first day, but nothing I did motivated these students. They were bored and restless.
I knew why their previous teacher had left. That night I sat at home. The same question kept repeating itself in my head, even when I tried to distract myself by watching late-night movies: "How could I make a huge difference to their lives ". I decided I would take up the challenge. It was a slow process, but it was also the most rewarding experience of my life. It took time, but my patience was rewarded. They had discovered the joy of learning and I had discovered what it really means to be a teacher.

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
66．考查推理判断。根据第一段"Everyone knows that the choices we make affect our future. Suppose I am an intelligent student with good marks. However, being lazy, I do badly in my examinations. I am refused entry to university and cannot find a good job. The golden future I had imagined will never be. All these are all from a bad choice!"每个人都知道我们所做的选择会影响我们的未来。假设我是一个聪明的学生，成绩好。然而，由于懒惰，我在考试中表现很差。我被大学拒之门外，也找不到好工作。我想象中的金色未来永远不会实现。所有这些都是一个糟糕的选择！可推知，通过第1段中的例子，作者想要表明一个懒惰的坏选择可能会一点一点地影响一个人的生活。故选C。
67．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"This is because nearly all the choices you make affect your character. Your character is displayed through your choices, but it is also formed by them. Whenever you make a choice, your character changes or grows, or diminishes (降低, 减弱) depending on whether the decision you made is wise or foolish. Your character is being made by you, bit by bit, choice by choice. And so, you become the sort of person who will make a certain kind of choice in a certain situation."这是因为你所做的几乎所有选择都会影响你的角色。你的性格是通过你的选择展现出来的，但它也是由你的选择形成的。每当你做出选择时，你的性格就会改变、成长或减弱，这取决于你所做的决定是明智的还是愚蠢的。你的性格是由你一点一点、一个选择一个选择塑造出来的。因此，你成为了那种在特定情况下会做出特定选择的人。可知，你的选择可能会以一种复杂的方式影响你的未来，因为你的选择和性格相互影响，最终影响未来。故选B。
68．考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的"Most of the things that form us in our lives are"构成我们的大多数事情都是……；以及"We cannot choose when and where to be born, whether our families will be rich or poor, kind or cruel. We cannot even entirely control who we will meet in our lives."我们无法选择出生的时间和地点，无法选择家庭的富裕还是贫穷，无法选择善良还是残酷。可知，我们无法选择出生的时间和地点，无法选择家庭的富裕还是贫穷，无法选择善良还是残酷，也就是说，在我们的生活中，构成我们的大多数事情都是无法选择的，即不是基于你的选择。可推知划线词部分指的是"不是基于你的选择"。故选B。
69．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的"It is human nature to fear the future, as the future is unknown. You cannot entirely control what will happen to you tomorrow. But if you have confidence in your character, formed by years of making good choices, then you do know one thing for certain about the future: no matter what happens, you will make a choice that you will be proud of."害怕未来是人类的天性，因为未来是未知的。你不能完全控制明天会发生什么。但是，如果你对自己的性格有信心，多年来做出的正确选择形成了你的性格，那么你对未来有一件事是肯定的:无论发生什么，你都会做出一个让你感到自豪的选择。可知，选择自己行为的能力被认为是一种伟大的天赋，是因为它保证你对未来有信心。故选A。
70．考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的"But if you have confidence in your character, formed by years of making good choices, then you do know one thing for certain about the future: no matter what happens, you will make a choice that you will be proud of."但是，如果你对自己的性格有信心，多年来做出的正确选择形成了你的性格，那么你对未来有一件事是肯定的：无论发生什么，你都会做出一个让你感到自豪的选择。可推知，未来是未知的，但是如果选择对未来有信心，有积极的反应，那么会做出一个让你感到自豪的选择。即文章中提到的"choice"指的是选择对未知的未来有一个积极的反应。故选C。

(但我暗自高兴的是，她的损失变成了我的收获；以及"The thought of standing in front of a group of teenagers made me scared and I started to panic."一想到要站在一群青少年面前，我就感到害怕，开始惊慌。可知，作者第一天感到很高兴，因为她得到了一份工作，但是一想到要成为一名青少年教师就感到恐慌。故答案为She felt happy for getting the job but panic at the thought of being a teacher of teenagers.
74．考查推理判断。根据第四段"The classroom was empty when I entered it. Slowly, the teenagers I was expecting arrived in groups of four and five. Finally every seat was taken and I stared out at the blank faces in front of me. They had been shown little respect and so they had given up on education and on themselves. No one was listening or seemed to care what I was doing. I knew I wasn't a gifted teacher and it was only my first day, but nothing I did motivated these students. They were bored and restless."当我走进教室时，教室里空无一人。慢慢地，我期待的青少年四五人一组地到来了。最后，每个座位都坐满了，我凝视着面前一张张茫然的脸。他们没有受到多少尊重，因此他们放弃了教育和自己。没有人在听或似乎关心我在做什么。我知道我不是一个有天赋的老师，这只是我的第一天，但我所做的一切都没有激励这些学生。他们感到无聊和不安；以及最后一段中的"I decided I would take up the challenge."我决定接受挑战。可知，作者的学生放弃了教育和自己，没有学习的动力，不爱学习，也不听作者讲课，可推知，作者在第四段是想告诉我们她的这份工作很有挑战性，教这群学生很困难，故答案为How challenging her job is./How difficult it is to teach such students.
75．考查开放试题。根据最后一段中的"I decided I would take up the challenge. It was a slow process, but it was also the most rewarding experience of my life. It took time, but my patience was rewarded. They had discovered the joy of learning and I had discovered what it really means to be a teacher."我决定接受挑战。这是一个缓慢的过程，但也是我一生中最有价值的经历。这需要时间，但我的耐心得到了回报。他们发现了学习的乐趣，而我发现了成为一名教师的真正意义。可知，故事中的"rewarding"表明，改变学生生活的缓慢过程是充实的，会带来成就感。故答案为"Rewarding" in the story suggests that the slow process of making a difference in the students' lives was fulfilling and brought a sense of accomplishment.
76．【答案】Subject: Recommendation for the International Cultural Exchange Exhibition
Dear School Committee,
I suggest including a performance of the Dance of the Dragon and Phoenix, a symbol of Chinese culture, in the exhibition. This vibrant dance tells a story of harmony, embodying the essence of unity and diversity. It's visually stunning, introducing attendees to Chinese culture and fostering cross-cultural understanding. Ensure professional dancers perform, with a brief introduction to its cultural significance.
Thank you for considering my ideas.
Best regards,

You're looking for a holiday with a difference It's on offer right here! Come with us on a very special tour of the great southern continent Antarctica. It's the only untouched wilderness left on our planet. For 10 months of the year, the continent is inaccessible by ships. Consequently, our tours are conducted in the brief period in late spring when the ice has melted and we can reach Antarctica.
So why should I go there
Antarctica may lack man-made attractions, but its natural beauty is breathtaking. You'll want to tell your grandchildren about this trip in years to come. Ninety-eight percent of this continent is covered with ice, which contains 70 per cent of the world's fresh water, although it receives very little rainfall.
What kind of things could I see and do there
Our tours are conducted in summer, but you have to remember that summer is six months later in the Southern Hemisphere. Apart from the Arctic region, Antarctica is one of the two areas on earth where you can enjoy 24 hours of sunlight. To get there, we have our own ship, which is equipped with a helicopter and a landing pad. Once there you'll be able to observe penguins and birds, and even watch whales and seals in the ocean.
Do your tours damage the environment
No, not at all. We don't disturb the wildlife, and we remove all the rubbish that we produce. We strictly follow the guidelines contained in the 1991 Antarctica Agreement, which bans oil exploration and protects wildlife.
How long does a tour last
That depends on which tour package you choose. You can visit the Antarctic region for as long as a month or, if you depart from Australia, you can see the Antarctic continent from the air in just one day. We will fly you over the continent so you can see it from the comfort of your seat on one of our aircraft. The exact route depends on the weather on the day of the . tour, but normally the flights pass over the Antarctic coastline and then head inland over vast landscapes formed by ice and dramatic mountain ranges.
That sounds really interesting. How do I make a booking
South Pole Tours are based in Christchurch, New Zealand. Call us on 25674874 today!

Camping is a rite of passage（成人礼） if you grow up in Canada. It's a child's first taste of what living in the wild really means. But growing up as an immigrant（移民） from India, I thought it was strange. I simply didn't understand why so many people loved nature when the comfort of your home still existed.
Then I turned 20 and started trying new things. I had been experiencing mental health issues for quite some time and I discovered being out in nature helped me calm down. So, I decided to try camping.
The night before the trip I was quite excited. Then I overheard a conversation between my father and mother. "Why does she have to do this Doesn't she know she can just stay at home " my father asked. "This is what Canadian kids do, it's okay, she'll be fine!" my mom explained. My parents had no faith in me surviving one night in the wild.
My friends and I set up our campsite in the woods. As the day went on, we ate, played by the water and met our camping neighbors. Time felt like it slowed down; life felt gentler and easier. Suddenly, I realized: I was doing it! I was camping! As the day turned into night, the stars came out and I was amazed by all the twinkling lights above me. I won't lie. I had the worst sleep of my life. Morning came and I was up and ready to make breakfast, coffee and tea. I didn't even realize I was sad to leave until we started packing everything up.
I wasn't just leaving, having accomplished something I never thought I would do. I was leaving with a real sense of community, a real sense of appreciation for what the great outdoors had to offer, and a completely different outlook on an activity that I had thought strange for so many years. It made me realize the beauty of Canada wasn't in the things we did, but in the community we built.
56．What was the author's attitude toward camping as a child

I was leaving with a real sense of community, a real sense of appreciation for what the great outdoors had to offer, and a completely different outlook on an activity that I had thought strange for so many years. It made me realize the beauty of Canada wasn't in the things we did, but in the community we built."在完成了一件我从未想过自己会做的事情之后，我并不是要离开。我带着一种真正的社会意识，一种对户外美景的真正欣赏，以及对一项我多年来一直认为很奇怪的活动的完全不同的看法离开了。它让我意识到加拿大的美丽不在于我们做的事情，而在于我们建立的社会。可知，作者原本是一名印度移民，通过这次露营让作者意识到加拿大的美丽不在于人们做的事情，而在于人们建立的社会，推断出作者找到了归属感。故选B。
60．考查标题归纳。根据第二段"Then I turned 20 and started trying new things. I had been experiencing mental health issues for quite some time and I discovered being out in nature helped me calm down. So, I decided to try camping."到了20岁，我开始尝试新事物。我有心理健康问题已经有一段时间了，我发现出去走走能让我冷静下来。所以，我决定尝试露营；以及最后一段中的"It made me realize the beauty of Canada wasn't in the things we did, but in the community we built."它让我意识到加拿大的美丽不在于我们做的事情，而在于我们建立的社会。可知，本文主要讲述了作者通过露营的经历找到归属感的事情，"一次有意义的露营经历"适合作本文标题，故选D。

The high-tech revolution has inspired a pleasure endless stream of new and exciting electronic products that we just can't live without. In fact, the speed of technological innovation can make last year's must-have this year's junk. And that's the problem.
The average life span of a personal computer has been shortened to around 18 months- and this has nothing to do with worn-mice or damaged disk drives. Simply put, electronic products can become out of date before you've even figured out how they work.
So what happens to all those old keyboards, monitors, organizers and CPUs Most are stored away in a warehouse （仓库）, taking up valuable space. But many end up in landfills, and that is where the trouble really puter monitors can contain up to 3.5 kg of dangerous waste once they are no longer in use.
Unfortunately, this problem is not going to disappear anytime soon—in fact, it is growing by the minute. In Japan alone, people throw away some 20 million TVs, washing machines, refrigerators and air conditioners each year. What is to be done with all this techno-trash
One way to reduce waste is to avoid throwing away in the first place. Many companies reuse parts from old products in new models. This is not cheating-it makes both environmental and economic sense. Cannon, for example, has adopted a philosophy known as "kyosei", meaning "living and working together for the common good "-a goal of achieving balance between the environment and the corporate （公司的） activities. The company has even gone so far as to say that environmental assurance should come before all business activities, and that companies unable to achieve such assurance do not deserve to remain in business.
As part of that effort, the company has started a global recycling program with a goal to reduce, reuse and recycle more than 90% of its used products. In 1999, for example, Cannon collected 128, 000 copying machines and 12, 175 tons of toner cartridges （色粉盒） in Japan, Europe and the United States.
Some argue that electronic garbage can also be controlled during the design phase. This concept, called "design for the environment". Not only does this make environmental sense, but it saves the customer money. IBM, meanwhile, recently planned programs in Canada and the US that, for a small fee, will take back not just an IBM but also any manufacturer's computer. Depending on the age and condition, the equipment will then be either donated to charity, or broken down for reusable parts and recyclable materials.
61．With the rapid development of science and technology high-tech products can ____.
A．last for many years B．become worn out soon
C．become old and useless soon D．be used forever
62．What is not the problem caused by the out-of-date high-tech products
A．Too much room is needed for their probable storage.
B．People do not know how to deal with them at all.
C．The amount of this techno-trash is increasing everyday without stop.
D．Harmful substances contained within may pollute the environment.
63．What idea can be learned through the example of Canon
A．Business must be achieved at the cost of environment.
B．Environment holds great importance than business.
C．Business and environment has little impact on each other.
D．Recycling makes only environment sense instead of economic benefits.
64．When the author says, "electronic garbage can be controlled during the design phase", he means ____.
A．while designing products, we must make something to contain garbage
B．while designing products, don't throw away garbage away
C．while designing, we must work out how much garbage the new product will bring about
D．while designing, we must take environment into consideration.
65．What can be inferred from reading the passage
A．The problem caused by high-tech products can't be solved in short time
B．The techno-trash problem can easily be solved in big countries
C．The problem can be solved to some degree if enough attention is paid
D．It is still hard to say whether this problem can be solved or not

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
61．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"In fact, the speed of technological innovation can make last year's must-have this year's junk."事实上，技术创新的速度可以让去年的必需品变成今年的垃圾。可知，随着科学技术的迅速发展，高科技产品会很快变得又老又没用。故选C。
62．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"Most are stored away in a warehouse (仓库), taking up valuable space. But many end up in landfills, and that is where the trouble really puter monitors can contain up to 3.5 kg of dangerous waste once they are no longer in use."大多数都存放在仓库里，占用了宝贵的空间。但许多垃圾最终被填埋，而这正是麻烦真正开始的地方。一旦电脑显示器不再使用，它们可以容纳多达3.5公斤的危险废物。可知，占用空间和含有的有害物质可能会污染环境是过时的高科技产品引起的问题。这一部分中提到了垃圾填埋， 是人们处理过时产品的一种方式，因此，不是由过时的高科技产品引起的问题是人们根本不知道如何处理它们。故选B。
63．考查推理判断。根据第五段中的"The company has even gone so far as to say that environmental assurance should come before all business activities, and that companies unable to achieve such assurance do not deserve to remain in business."该公司甚至表示，环境保证应优先于所有商业活动，无法实现这一保证的公司不应继续经营。可知，通过Canon的例子可以了解到环境比商业更重要。故选B。
64．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的"This concept, called ‘design for the environment'. Not only does this make environmental sense, but it saves the customer money. "这个概念叫做"为环境而设计"。这不仅环保，还能为顾客省钱。可知，当作者说"电子垃圾可以在设计阶段得到控制"时，他的意思是设计时，我们必须考虑环境。故选D。
65．考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的"As part of that effort, the company has started a global recycling program with a goal to reduce, reuse and recycle more than 90% of its used products. "作为这一努力的一部分，该公司启动了一项全球回收计划，目标是减少、再利用和回收90%以上的废旧产品；以及最后一段中的"IBM, meanwhile, recently planned programs in Canada and the US that, for a small fee, will take back not just an IBM but also any manufacturer's computer."与此同时，IBM最近计划在加拿大和美国开展一些项目，只要支付少量费用，就可以收回IBM以及任何制造商的电脑。可知，阅读这篇文章可以推断出如果足够重视，这个问题在某种程度上是可以解决的。故选C。

Everyone knows that the choices we make affect our future. Suppose I am an intelligent student with good marks. However, being lazy, I do badly in my examinations. I am refused entry to university and cannot find a good job. The golden future I had imagined will never be. All these are all from a bad choice!
However, your choices affect your future in a way that is a lot more complicated. This is because nearly all the choices you make affect your character. Your character is displayed through your choices, but it is also formed by them. Whenever you make a choice, your character changes or grows, or diminishes （降低, 减弱） depending on whether the decision you made is wise or foolish. Your character is being made by you, bit by bit, choice by choice. And so, you become the sort of person who will maké a certain kind of choice in a certain situation.
Some will argue this is not true. After all, the field of human choice is a narrow one. Most of the things that form us in our lives are not subject to choice. We cannot choose when and where to be born, whether our families will be rich or poor, kind or cruel. We cannot even entirely control who we will meet in our lives. With so much that we cannot choose, how can we be said to be responsible for anything
There is some truth in this. We are thrown into life without any say over the matter, and have little control over most of it. However, we do have some power of choice, and we do control the most important thing of all: how we respond to circumstances. We can choose to keep struggling in hard times, or to give up.
This ability to choose how we behave and respond is a great gift. It is our key to having confidence in the future. It is human nature to fear the future, as the future is unknown. You cannot entirely control what will happen to you tomorrow. But if you have confidence in your character, formed by years of making good choices, then you do know one thing for certain about the future: no matter what happens, you will make a choice that you will be proud of.
At every moment, then, practise forming your character when you make your choices, no matter how small they are. Remember: your choices form your character. And your character determines your future.
66．With the example in paragraph1, the author intends to show that ____.
A．a good choice of job is a guarantee of one's bright future
B．intelligent people always tend to be somewhat lazy
C．a bad choice of being lazy may affect one's life bit by bit
D．a golden future will never be if one is refused by university
67．Your choices may affect your future in a complicated way because ____.
A．your future is solely determined by a certain choice
B．your choices and character shape each other, finally influencing the future
C．your future can only be formed if the choices are right
D．your character is always changing and so is your future
68．What does the underlined part mean in paragraph. 3
A．not chosen as a subject to learn
B．not based on your choices
C．not depended on your future
D．not affected by your pleasure
69．According to the passage, why is the ability to choose how we behave considered a great gift
A．It guarantees you to have confidence in the future.
B．It ensures complete control over one's future life.
C．It eliminates your fear of the unknown future.
D．It provides you a favorable future as expected.
70．What do the "choice" mentioned in the passage refer to
A．Choose to be a brave man with nothing to fear of.
B．Choose to be a hardworking man to get a bright future.
C．Choose to have a positive response to the unknown future.
D．Choose to have a determined mind to keep struggling.

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
66．考查推理判断。根据第一段"Everyone knows that the choices we make affect our future. Suppose I am an intelligent student with good marks. However, being lazy, I do badly in my examinations. I am refused entry to university and cannot find a good job. The golden future I had imagined will never be. All these are all from a bad choice!"每个人都知道我们所做的选择会影响我们的未来。假设我是一个聪明的学生，成绩好。然而，由于懒惰，我在考试中表现很差。我被大学拒之门外，也找不到好工作。我想象中的金色未来永远不会实现。所有这些都是一个糟糕的选择！可推知，通过第1段中的例子，作者想要表明一个懒惰的坏选择可能会一点一点地影响一个人的生活。故选C。
67．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"This is because nearly all the choices you make affect your character. Your character is displayed through your choices, but it is also formed by them. Whenever you make a choice, your character changes or grows, or diminishes (降低, 减弱) depending on whether the decision you made is wise or foolish. Your character is being made by you, bit by bit, choice by choice. And so, you become the sort of person who will make a certain kind of choice in a certain situation."这是因为你所做的几乎所有选择都会影响你的角色。你的性格是通过你的选择展现出来的，但它也是由你的选择形成的。每当你做出选择时，你的性格就会改变、成长或减弱，这取决于你所做的决定是明智的还是愚蠢的。你的性格是由你一点一点、一个选择一个选择塑造出来的。因此，你成为了那种在特定情况下会做出特定选择的人。可知，你的选择可能会以一种复杂的方式影响你的未来，因为你的选择和性格相互影响，最终影响未来。故选B。
68．考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的"Most of the things that form us in our lives are"构成我们的大多数事情都是……；以及"We cannot choose when and where to be born, whether our families will be rich or poor, kind or cruel. We cannot even entirely control who we will meet in our lives."我们无法选择出生的时间和地点，无法选择家庭的富裕还是贫穷，无法选择善良还是残酷。可知，我们无法选择出生的时间和地点，无法选择家庭的富裕还是贫穷，无法选择善良还是残酷，也就是说，在我们的生活中，构成我们的大多数事情都是无法选择的，即不是基于你的选择。可推知划线词部分指的是"不是基于你的选择"。故选B。
69．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的"It is human nature to fear the future, as the future is unknown. You cannot entirely control what will happen to you tomorrow. But if you have confidence in your character, formed by years of making good choices, then you do know one thing for certain about the future: no matter what happens, you will make a choice that you will be proud of."害怕未来是人类的天性，因为未来是未知的。你不能完全控制明天会发生什么。但是，如果你对自己的性格有信心，多年来做出的正确选择形成了你的性格，那么你对未来有一件事是肯定的:无论发生什么，你都会做出一个让你感到自豪的选择。可知，选择自己行为的能力被认为是一种伟大的天赋，是因为它保证你对未来有信心。故选A。
70．考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的"But if you have confidence in your character, formed by years of making good choices, then you do know one thing for certain about the future: no matter what happens, you will make a choice that you will be proud of."但是，如果你对自己的性格有信心，多年来做出的正确选择形成了你的性格，那么你对未来有一件事是肯定的：无论发生什么，你都会做出一个让你感到自豪的选择。可推知，未来是未知的，但是如果选择对未来有信心，有积极的反应，那么会做出一个让你感到自豪的选择。即文章中提到的"choice"指的是选择对未知的未来有一个积极的反应。故选C。

I no longer had the luxury of a husband supporting me, so it was time to get a job. With my background and qualifications, the easiest way for me to earn money was to become a teacher.
A friend told me his school was looking for an English teacher, so I arranged an interview with the principal. Fifteen minutes after stepping into her office, I was given the job and asked ifI was able to begin teaching that same day. The current English teacher appeared very keen to leave!
I wondered why she had made such an abrupt decision, but I was secretly pleased that her loss had become my gain. I walked towards the classroom on that first day, wondering about the wisdom of my decision to accept the principal's offer. The thought of standing in front of a group of teenagers made me scared and I started to panic.
The classroom was empty when I entered it. Slowly, the teenagers I was expecting arrived in groups of four and five. Finally every seat was taken and I stared out at the blank faces in front of me. They had been shown little respect and so they had given up on education and on themselves. No one was listening or seemed to care what I was doing. I knew I wasn't a gifted teacher and it was only my first day, but nothing I did motivated these students. They were bored and restless.
I knew why their previous teacher had left. That night I sat at home. The same question kept repeating itself in my head, even when I tried to distract myself by watching late-night movies: "How could I make a huge difference to their lives ". I decided I would take up the challenge. It was a slow process, but it was also the most rewarding experience of my life. It took time, but my patience was rewarded. They had discovered the joy of learning and I had discovered what it really means to be a teacher.

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和开放性试题三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而写出正确答案。
71．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"I had been widowed recently, and I had an elderly mother to support but no income of my own. I no longer had the luxury of a husband supporting me, so it was time to get a job."我最近丧偶，要赡养年迈的母亲，但自己没有收入。我不再有丈夫支持我，所以是时候找份工作了。可知，作者必须要赡养母亲，但她没有丈夫，自己又没有收入，所以她决定找一份工作，故答案为She has to support her mother but no income of her own without her husband.
72．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"I was given the job and asked if I was able to begin teaching that same day. The current English teacher appeared very keen to leave!"我得到了这份工作，并询问我是否能够在同一天开始教学。现任英语老师似乎很想离开！；以及第三段中的"I wondered why she had made such an abrupt decision"我想知道她为什么做出这么突然的决定。可知，作者能够在面试那天就开始上课，这是因为现任英语老师似乎很想离开，也或者是现在的老师作了一个很突然的决定，故答案为Because the current teacher appeared very keen to leave./Because the current teacher had made such an abrupt dicision.
73．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"but I was secretly pleased that her loss had become my gain. (但我暗自高兴的是，她的损失变成了我的收获；以及"The thought of standing in front of a group of teenagers made me scared and I started to panic."一想到要站在一群青少年面前，我就感到害怕，开始惊慌。可知，作者第一天感到很高兴，因为她得到了一份工作，但是一想到要成为一名青少年教师就感到恐慌。故答案为She felt happy for getting the job but panic at the thought of being a teacher of teenagers.
74．考查推理判断。根据第四段"The classroom was empty when I entered it. Slowly, the teenagers I was expecting arrived in groups of four and five. Finally every seat was taken and I stared out at the blank faces in front of me. They had been shown little respect and so they had given up on education and on themselves. No one was listening or seemed to care what I was doing. I knew I wasn't a gifted teacher and it was only my first day, but nothing I did motivated these students. They were bored and restless."当我走进教室时，教室里空无一人。慢慢地，我期待的青少年四五人一组地到来了。最后，每个座位都坐满了，我凝视着面前一张张茫然的脸。他们没有受到多少尊重，因此他们放弃了教育和自己。没有人在听或似乎关心我在做什么。我知道我不是一个有天赋的老师，这只是我的第一天，但我所做的一切都没有激励这些学生。他们感到无聊和不安；以及最后一段中的"I decided I would take up the challenge."我决定接受挑战。可知，作者的学生放弃了教育和自己，没有学习的动力，不爱学习，也不听作者讲课，可推知，作者在第四段是想告诉我们她的这份工作很有挑战性，教这群学生很困难，故答案为How challenging her job is./How difficult it is to teach such students.
75．考查开放试题。根据最后一段中的"I decided I would take up the challenge. It was a slow process, but it was also the most rewarding experience of my life. It took time, but my patience was rewarded. They had discovered the joy of learning and I had discovered what it really means to be a teacher."我决定接受挑战。这是一个缓慢的过程，但也是我一生中最有价值的经历。这需要时间，但我的耐心得到了回报。他们发现了学习的乐趣，而我发现了成为一名教师的真正意义。可知，故事中的"rewarding"表明，改变学生生活的缓慢过程是充实的，会带来成就感。故答案为"Rewarding" in the story suggests that the slow process of making a difference in the students' lives was fulfilling and brought a sense of accomplishment.
