Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.
During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.
He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.
Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.
4. What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney
A. Go shopping B. Find a house
C. Join his family D. Take a vacation
5. The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from_________.
A. a friend of his family B. a Sydney policeman
C. a letter in his papers D. a stranger in Sydney
6. What does the underlined word “restored” in the last paragraph mean
A. Showed B. Sent out
C. Delivered D. Gave back
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. From India to Australia. B. Living in a New Country
C. Turning Trash to Treasure. D. In Search of New Friends.

Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment. “We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement .Business people political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many， many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first. According to US government reports, emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons .The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “Green thinking” has become part of practices.
Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.
Twenty –five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it’s hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program. “Until we do that, nothing else will change!” says Bruce Anderson.
8. According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ___.
A. the social movement B. recycling techniques
C. environmental problems D. the importance of Earth Day
9. Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from
A. The grass –roots level. B. The business circle.
C. Government officials. D. University professors.
10. What have Americans achieved in environmental protection
A. They have cut car emissions to the lowest.
B. They have settled their environmental problems.
C. They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.
D. They have reduced pollution through effective measures.
11. What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph
A. Education. B. Planning
C. Green living D. CO reduction
D
Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self conscious (难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12 inch plate instead of a 10 inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake (摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
12. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____________.
A. their home comforts B. their body shape
C. house buying D. healthy diets
13. A home environment in blue can help people ______________.
A. digest food better B. reduce food intake
C. burn more calories D. regain their appetites
14. What are people advised to do at mealtimes
A. Eat quickly. B. Play fast music.
C. Use smaller spoons. D. Turn down the lights.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Is Your House Making You Fat B. Ways of Serving Dinner
C. Effects of Self Consciousness D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing

Asad was a 13-year-old boy who was very honest and hardworking. Recently, he had entered a new school, so he had no friends yet. On Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin’s wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual.
At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing.
Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, among them was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very arrogant(傲慢的)boy who thought everyone else was a loser. But as Asad was new, he didn’t know much about Fahad.
When he went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch, Fahad laughed a lot and said, “I knew you were a loser, maybe a beggar ” Fahad laughed out so loud that other kids also heard and made fun of the situation. He didn’t answer Fahad, and slowly walked back towards an empty bench.
When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it as Fahad’s, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and telling that his uncle bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid.
At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punished Fahad.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then Fahad said, “Why are you giving back ”

Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment. “We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement .Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many， many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first. According to US government reports, emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons .The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “Green thinking” has become part of practices.
Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.
Twenty –five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it’s hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program. “Until we do that, nothing else will change!” says Bruce Anderson.
8. According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ___.
A. the social movement B. recycling techniques
C. environmental problems D. the importance of Earth Day
9. Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from
A. The grass –roots level. B. The business circle.
C. Government officials. D. University professors.
10. What have Americans achieved in environmental protection
A. They have cut car emissions to the lowest.
B. They have settled their environmental problems.
C. They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.
D. They have reduced pollution through effective measures.
11. What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph
A. Education. B. Planning
C. Green living D. CO reduction
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文属于说明文。在文章中作者介绍了自从1970年第一个地球日成立以来，美国的环境问题有了很大的改善。以前在公共事物中无足轻重的环境问题现在成了一项社会关注的问题，从科学家到大学教授到贫民百姓都有了环保意识。此外作者还指出教育在这种变化方面也起着非常重要的作用。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段第2句“We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.可知在1970年世界地球日开始时候，人们甚至都不知道有“环境这个词”，更不要说知道存在着环境问题了，因此在此之前人们都没有意识到环境问题。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots可知商人，政界领导，大学教授，尤其是平民百姓们都参与到了保护环境的运动中来，由此判断保护环境的支持主要来自草根阶层，故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段内容In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs …… and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution .可知回收工作的改进，先进产品和住房设计的研制开发等措施都有效地减少了污染，改善了环境，因此推断美国人已经通过有效的方法减少了污染的排放。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。四个选项内容对于保护环境都是重要的，但是作者在文章末段提到目前几乎每所学校都有关于环境保护的课程，而且通过最后Bruce Anderson说的话“Until we do that , nothing else will change! ”可知教育在改变人们保护环境意识，改善环境问题方面至关重要，故选A。
D

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何在学校里养成好的学习习惯。
【16题详解】
根据上文“It is never too late to develop great study habits. However, starting making some changes is hard. Even if you want to do well enough in school and improve your grades, you’re probably having trouble getting started in the first place! (养成良好的学习习惯永远不晚。然而，开始做出一些改变是困难的。即使你想在学校做得足够好，提高你的成绩，你很可能一开始就有困难!)”可知想要提高成绩是困难的，后文各段首句给出了具体方法让你形成良好的学习习惯，空白承上启下，只要通过正确方法养成良好习惯，就能提高成绩，即以以下是具体方法，C项“有几种方法可以帮助您”切题。故选C项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Make a list of your weekly tasks.(把你每周的任务列出来。)”，后文“but it will make you more aware of how you spend your time.(但它会让你更清楚地意识到自己是如何利用时间的)”讲这样做的好处可知，空白处要承接上文，又要与后文是转折关系，所以应该填的是周计划存在的缺点，E项“这个每周计划可能不能解决你的所有问题”切题。故选E项。
【18题详解】
G项“这意味着在你开始更仔细地阅读一篇文章之前，要快速地看一遍”承接上文“Skim before you read.(阅读前略读)”讲如何进行阅读前略读的方法。故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据后文“Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later.(在课堂上听老师讲课意味着以后少做功课)”可知本段说明利用好课堂时间的重要性。根据其他段落首句特征可知，此处用祈使句，B项“好好利用上课的时间”切题。故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Develop a good attitude to tests. (培养对考试的良好态度)”以及上文“The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject.(考试的目的是显示你对某门学科的学习情况)”，可知空白处说明对考试应有的正确态度，即不要太担心考试，F项“如果你未通过考试，世界不会结束，所以不要太担心考试”切题。故选F项。

47. 读后续写
Asad was a 13-year-old boy who was very honest and hardworking. Recently, he had entered a new school, so he had no friends yet. On Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin’s wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual.
At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing.
Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, among them was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very arrogant(傲慢的)boy who thought everyone else was a loser. But as Asad was new, he didn’t know much about Fahad.
When he went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch, Fahad laughed a lot and said, “I knew you were a loser, maybe a beggar ” Fahad laughed out so loud that other kids also heard and made fun of the situation. He didn’t answer Fahad, and slowly walked back towards an empty bench.
When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it as Fahad’s, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and telling that his uncle bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid.
At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punished Fahad.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then Fahad said, “Why are you giving back ”
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punished Fahad. At least he could afford the lunch now. However, another voice popped up, urging him to give it back to Fahad, which made him feel torn. “I should never keep the wallet at the cost of my honesty, and Fahad would be extremely embarrassed without any money in the presence of so many classmates!”Asad convinced himself. Once he made up his mind, he accelerated his pace and caught him up. “Fahad, it’s your wallet and I found it on the bench.” Taking over the wallet, Fahad stared into Asad’s eyes with a puzzled look written on his face.
Then Fahad said, “Why are you giving it back ” He even looked into his wallet, obviously doubtful about Asads act. Calmly and patiently Asad explained, “I had originally wanted to keep it secret as a punishment for your arrogance, but being honest matters more to me.” Hearing what Asad had said, Fahad felt his face burning with shame. He bent, thanking Asad for saving him from the embarrassing situation and apologizing to the classmates around for calling them losers. “And the lunch is on me. You all are my friends!”Fahad announced.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Asad是一个13岁的男孩，他非常诚实和勤奋，这天他忘了带钱，本想找班上最富有的孩子Fahad借钱，但是被拒绝了，Fahad还嘲笑了Asad一顿。结果Asad在长凳旁见到了Fahad的钱包。他本来不想归还，但是出于天性还是归还了钱包，两人也因此成为了朋友。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“起初，Asad想保守秘密，并惩罚了Fahad”可知，第一段可描写Asad不归还钱包，内心的挣扎以及他还钱包的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“然后Fahad说：‘你为什么要把它还给我？’”可知，第二段可描写Asad解释自己还钱包的原因以及Fahad羞愧。
2.续写线索：Asad想惩罚Fahad——Asad内心不安——Asad归还钱包——Fahad困惑——Asad解释——成为朋友
3.词汇激活

下定决心：make up one’s mind/be determined to
