When 19-year-ol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the Make-A-Wish Foundation (基金会),nobody understood what she was talking about.But Sophia knew just how important Make-A-Wish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends.We were interested in finding out more,so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say.
Sophia told ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )us that Make-A-Wish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980.“It’s a charity (慈善机构) that helps children who have got very serious illnesses.Make-A-Wish helps children feel happy even though they are sick,by making their wishes and dreams come true,”Sophia explained.
We asked Sophia how Ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ke-A-Wish had first started.She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris,who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman.Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris’s dream come true—so,with everybody’s help,Chris,only seven years old at the time,had been a “policeman” for a day.“When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true,they decided to try and help other sick children too,and that was the beginning of Make-A-Wish,”explained Sophia.
Sophia also told ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special,happy time.A Make-A-Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world.Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true.They do this either by providing things that are necessary,or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can.

Mr. Peter John ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )son, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot(行李箱).
Mr. Johnson’s car had ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) finished up in a ditch(沟渠)at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding(打滑)on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly, ”Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and I dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in. ”
Mr. Johnson, a sweet ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.
Later he said, “It w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came. ”
It took ten mi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench(扳手)and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up. ”
His hands an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d arms cut and bruised(擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours. ”Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.

　　Intel and its resea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rch partners are studying how brain acts when it thinks. For example, scientists have found that people’s brains react in a similar manner when asked to think of a bear.
　　Through senso ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs(感应器)that can find this sort of brain activity, Intel thinks that it will be able to read and translate this into an input system thanks to a chip in the brain.

　　Even if thinking abo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut a bear isn’t enough to show that you want to copy and paste something. Intel still thinks that there’s a future in using your brain instead of the keyboard.
　　“If we can get ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to the point where you can accurately find specific words, you could mentally type, ”he added. “You could compose characters or words by thinking about letters flashing on the screen or typing whole words rather than their individual characters. ”
　　While this may all s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ound impractical for present time, Intel thinks that it’s possible and something we’ll all want.
“I think human beings ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )are unusually adaptive(适应的), ”said Andrew Chien, vice president of research and director of future technologies research at Intel Labs. “If you told people 20 years ago that they would be carrying computers all the time, they would have said, ‘I don’t want that. I don’t need that. ’Now you can’t get them to stop carrying devices. There are a lot of things that have to be done first but I think implanting chips into human brains is well within the scope of possibility. ”

【2014·江西省赣中四校高三第二次联考】
Studies show ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) farmland in Africa is often lacking in important nutrients.But researchers say a combination of farming methods may help.
Researchers wonder ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )how to increase production without necessarily clearing more land to grow additional crops.American researchers say that can happen with greater use of an agricultural system called perenniation.It mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants—those that return year after year.
Soil scientist John ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Reganold says，“One of the major problems is that the soils are fairly poor in most of the regions.So how do you grow food on poor soils？There have to be food production systems that can build the soil and improve the yield.”
Mr Reganold says ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )poor soil may have resulted from years of weathering that washed away many nutrients.He says some farmers may have done more harm than good.
“They have been actu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ally using farming practices where they’re not putting in organic matter.They’re not putting in fertilizers.They can’t afford those things.And it just runs the soil down.So they’re worsening the situation.”
The scientist says ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the word perenniation defines three systems that are already used in Africa.The oldest of the three is called evergreen agriculture.This is where farmers plant trees with their crops.Farmers in Africa have been doing this for sixty years，but it seems to be growing in popularity.
The method is gaini ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng widespread use in countries such as Niger，Burkina Faso，Malawi and Zambia.The trees are planted among maize (玉米)，millet or sorghum crops.They not only add nitrogen (氮) to the soil through their roots，but also through their leaves when they fall off and break down.At other times of the year，the trees can protect plants from strong sunlight.
John Reganold s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ays he knows of one woman who has had great success with perenniation.
“She’s a grandmothe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r in her fifties.Her name is Rhoda Mang’yana and she started using this system about twenty years ago.And her yields initially were about a ton of maize.Now with a good year she gets four tons per hectare，four times what she was getting.”
1．The purpose of the passage is to________.
A．tell people how to increase production
B．introduce an agricultural system in Africa
C．introduce the oldest farming method in Africa
D．tell us how to prevent soil being poor
2．What does the under ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lined word “weathering” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A．Being exposed to wind and rain.
B．Growing different crops.
C．Being polluted severely.
D．Being ploughed improperly.
3．According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the passage，which of the following statements is WRONG
A．Perenniation mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants.
B．Poor soil is the main problem in increasing food production.
C．Farmers may be more to blame for the present situation.
D．American researchers first invented perenniation.
4．Evergreen agricul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ture is popular with the farmers mainly because it________.
A．can build the soil and improve the yield
B．can provide more wood as well
C．is the easiest method to carry out
D．is used for a long time
5．Why does John Reganold mention Rhoda Mang’yana
A．To show the method is very popular in Africa.
B．Because she is an expert at farming production.
C．To prove the farming method is effective.
D．Because she produced more grains than anyone else in the country.

Parents who are th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inking of sending their children to private schools often weigh the advantages and disadvantages because not all people can afford to send their children to these schools.They are definitely not cheap.There is also the anxiety of being separated from their children.However，there are many advantages private schools can have over public schools.
Small class sizes—P ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rivate schools have a significant difference in terms of class size from public schools.While typical public schools may have class sizes ranging from 30－40 (some even more)，private schools keep their class sizes small (usually from 4 to 15 )．Children are less likely to be overlooked when class sizes are this small.Teachers can easily spot students who are having difficulties with their lessons；they can form a more positive relationship with them，and students can feel that they are given more attention in class.
Excellent facilities ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )—Many private schools have facilities that are on a par with universities and they have the space and the means to allow children to explore many different kinds of afterschool programs such as sports，performing arts，and more.Such programs can help young people become well rounded individuals.It’s one of the private school advantages that they will take with them well into their adulthood.
Teachers—Generall ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y，private schools pride themselves with the fact that they hire teachers who have advanced degrees in their field and who belong to diverse cultures.
Administration—Pub ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lic school systems are likely to make it difficult to implement positive changes that can benefit the staff and the students.Since private schools are structured differently，it’s easier to make changes and carry them out without having to go through all that red tape.
Funding—Private sch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ools are funded by tuition fees，donations，and other sources of income.If they need money to improve facilities or hire more staff，they always have the option to increase the tuition fee or explore other means of obtaining income.
1．Why are some ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) parents unwilling to send their children to private schools
①The fees are high.
②Private schools have different school systems.
③The teachers belong to diverse cultures.
④Private schools keep the class sizes very small.
⑤ They’re anxious about being separated from their children.
A．①⑤　　 B．①②⑤
C．①③　 D．②③⑤
2．Compared wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )th students in private schools，students in public schools________.
A．are harder to be recognized by their teacher
B．are given more attention in class
C．are more likely to be ignored in class
D．have a closer relation with their teacher
3．What makes it possi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ble for children to have a wide variety of afterschool activities
A．Teachers.　 B．Excellent facilities.
C．Small class sizes.　 D．Administration.
4．What is the meaning ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of the underlined word “implement” in Paragraph 5
A．Hold up.　 B．Carry out.
C．Give away.　 D．Turn down.
5．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．Advantages and disadvantages of private schools.
B．Characteristics of private schools.
C．Parents’ concern of private schools.
D．Advantages of private schools.

写人记事（阅读理解）
In 1947 a group of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music,dance and theatre in Edinburgh.The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
It quickly a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ttracted famous names such as Alec Guinness,Richard Burton,Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交响乐团).It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.
At the same ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )time,the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,and they did so in a public house disused for years.
Soon,groups of stu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dents firstly from Edinburgh University,and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge,Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.
Today the “Fringe”, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )once less recognized,has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre,music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts.And yet as early as 1959,with only 19 theatre groups performing,some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) was first employed only in 1971,and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries.More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.
1.What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning (　　)
A.To bring Europe together again.
B.To honor heroes of World War Ⅱ.
C.To introduce young theatre groups.
D.To attract great artists from Europe.
2.Why did some unin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )vited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947 (　　)
A.They owned a public house there.
B.They came to take up a challenge.

【长难句子分析】
不久,一群群学生,首先是来自爱丁堡 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )大学的学生,接着是牛津、剑桥、达勒姆和伯明翰的大学的学生,每年夏天来到苏格兰首府,在小教堂的大厅里为爱丁堡人表演一些不太为人所知的作家的戏剧。
阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
To hitch-hike ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )successfully in any country you must be able to do two things: attract attention and at the same time convince the driver at a glance that you do not intend to rob or murder him. To fulfill the first requirement you must have some mark to distinguish you at once from all other hikers. A serviceman, for instance, should wear his uniform, and a student his red scarf. In a foreign country an unmistakable indication of your own nationality will also arrest a driver’s attention.
When I hitch-hiked 9, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )500 miles across the United States and back recently I wore a well-tailored suit, a bowler hat and a trench coat, and carried a pencil-thin rolled black umbrella. My suitcase was decorated with British flags. Having plenty of luggage, moreover, I was not likely to be suspected of being a dangerous lunatic(精神病患者). I then had to get across to the driver the idea that I was a real traveler, and needed to get somewhere cheaply.
But even with careful ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) preparation, you must not assume that the task will be easy. You should be prepared to wait a little, for there are drivers who confess to a fierce prejudice against, (not to say hatred of)hitch-hikers, and would no more pick up a hiker than march from Aldermaston to London. In America, my average wait is half an hour, and my longest is two hours, but I have heard of people waiting all day: they probably took less pains to make themselves easy to notice.
Nor must you assume th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at all the drivers who stop for you are nice, normal people. On one occasion I found myself driving with two boys of about nineteen who turned out to be on the run from the police, and were hoping to use me as an alibi. There are also lesser(较小的)risks: you may find yourself in the car of a Fascist fanatic, a Mormon missionary(传教士), or just a bad driver. You cannot tell, of course until you are in the car. But you soon learn the art of the quick excuse that gets you out again.
If the hitch-hi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ker in the US remembers that he is seeking the willingness of drivers to give him a free ride, and is prepared to give in exchange entertainment and company, and not go to sleep, he will come across the remarkable, almost legendary, hospitality of American of the West. It will also help if he can drive—I think that I drove myself about 4, 500 of those 9, 500 miles I hitch-hiked in the States.
【文章大意】文章主要介绍了作者如何搭乘便车的一些经验, 如装束、等车、遇到的司机, 还特别提及了在美国的一些有关搭乘便车的趣事。
1. A serviceman should wear his uniform　　　.
A. so as not to look too unusual

A. it is dangerous to be in a car with strangers
B. hitch-hiking may turn out to be risky sometimes
C. a hitch-hiker must also learn the art of quick excuse
D. hitch-hikers might come across bad drivers
【解析】选B。段落大意题。第四段的第一句是主题句。遇到的司机不见得个个都是正常人, 从后面的例子也得知乘便车是有危险性的。

B. An Englishman’s view of the US

“Children sho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uld not be left unsupervised(无人监督的)to play with a dog. ”say experts in this week’s British Medical Journal. Their advice is part of a review aimed at doctors who deal with dog bites.
“Dog bites and mau ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lings are a worldwide problem, particularly in children. ”write Marina Morgan and John Palmer. Every year 250, 000 people who have been bitten by dogs attend minor injuries and emergency units in the United Kingdom, and half of all children are reportedly bitten by dogs at some time, boys more than girls.
Accurate death figur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es are difficult to obtain, but in the past five years, two to three cases a year have made news headlines.
Based on the late ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st medical evidence, they advise doctors how to examine and treat a patient presenting with a dog bite. They discuss the risk of infection and when to refer to specialist care. For travelers bitten abroad, they suggest assessing the risk of rabies(狂犬病).
In terms of preve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ntion, they suggest that children should be taught to treat dogs with respect, avoid direct eye contact, and not tease them. They should be taught not to approach an unfamiliar dog; play with any dog unless under close supervision; run or scream in the presence of a dog; pet a dog without first letting it sniff you; or disturb a dog that is eating, sleeping, or caring for puppies.
“Dog owners al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )so need to change their behavior”, says Rachel Besser, a children’s doctor and lifetime dog owner, in an article.
“It is clear tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t not all dog owners appreciate that children should not be left unsupervised with a dog”, she says. Just as some parents are obliged to take parenting classes, she would like to see compulsive classes for expectant dog owners to teach them about the responsibilities of dog ownership. Educational programs are also needed to teach children about some precautionary behaviors around dogs.
Finally, she would ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) like to see vets advising dog owners about bite prevention, and doctors promoting bite prevention when treating patients who have been bitten by dogs.
【文章大意】狗咬人, 尤其是狗咬小孩的现象尤其需要引起关注, 为此, 需要采取一定的措施。
1. Dog biting studied by the experts is a problem　　　.
A. doctors dealing with dog bites should pay attention to
B. happening only to a few children of the world
C. only boys may meet with
D. about which exp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erts get accurate statistics from the news headlines
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段“Their advice is part of a review aimed at doctors who deal with dog bites. ”可知, 专家所研究的狗咬人的问题也应该是相关医生应给予重视的问题, 故答案选A项。
2. The underlined word“they”in Paragraph 4 refers to“　　　”.
A. doctors B. parents
C. experts D. dog owners
【解析】选C。词义猜测题。根据“Ba ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sed on the latest medical evidence”再结合第一段专家的讲话可推断, 他们是指研究狗咬人这一问题的专家们, 故选C项。
3. What are Rachel Besser’s words mainly about
A. All the dog ow ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ners would like children not to be left unsupervised with a dog.
B. All the dog owners have a correct behavior toward dogs.
C. Not all d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )og owners appreciate that children should be left with dogs under supervision.
D. Not all do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g owners should attend classes about the responsibilities of dog ownership.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )七段“It is clear that not all dog owners appreciate that children should not be left unsupervised with a dog”可知, 雷切尔医生认为, 并非所有的狗的主人都认为孩子们和狗在一起的时候要有大人的照看。由此判断选C项。
4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Dogs, Dangerous To Children
B. Children Should Know Behaviors Around Dogs
C. Doctors, Treat Dog Bites Correctly
D. Never Leave Children Unsupervised With Dogs
【解析】选D。主旨大意题。狗咬人, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 尤其是狗咬小孩的现象比较严重, 那么如何避免狗咬小孩呢 这才是本文的写作重点, 而只有D项更能说明此问题, 故正确答案选D项。
阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
It is probably ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the strangest sport anyone has ever invented. And at first sight, it looks like the petitors have to do two things. The first is to stand still. The second is to place their hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there.
This is where thi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ngs start getting difficult. Lots of people are doing the same thing. And the winner of the“handathon”contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time. That person gets to own the car.
It still seems to b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e an easy thing to do. At the beginning it is. Anyone can stand still. But when the contest has been going for four or five days, standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world. And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention. After a few days, the hand seems to belong to someone else—someone who wants to go home and get some sleep.
Competitors are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat, drink or do whatever else is necessary. No one is allowed to lean on the car for support. Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention. They also need to be able to develop special skills.
Maybe the po ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter. Entrants in the Longview handathon certainly don’t seem to do much preparation. Most say they will prepare by“getting lots of sleep”. Others say they will“eat healthy food”or“pray for success”. The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.
Handathons are compe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )titions, but there is little rivalry(敌对)between competitors. They help each other out and keep each other’s spirits up. People who drop out early return with food, drink and encouragement.
【文章大意】双手放在车身任何部位 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), 静立不动, 你能坚持多久 本文介绍了一项看似简单, 实则类似于马拉松的运动形式“handathon”。
1. The reason wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y the sport is called“handathon”is that competitors　　　.
A. cover a long distance
B. keep hands in place for long
C. wave hands as long as possible
D. do the same thing as in a marathon
【解析】选D。推理判断题。由第二段可知, 这种运动在形式上和马拉松是一样的。
2. What ability is likely to be needed most in a handathon
A. Standing without any support.
B. Not leaning on the car.
C. Eating and drinking in five minutes.
D. Having strong powers of attention.
【解析】选D。推理判断题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。根据第四段的倒数第二句Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention. 可以得到答案。
3. Why is handathon popular
A. Someone can win with special training.
B. It doesn’t need to make any preparation.
C. Anyone who is interested can join in it.
D. People get along well with each other in it.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。由第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )五段中的Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter. 一句可知, 它流行的原因是不需要进行专门的训练, 换句话说, 只要有兴趣就可以参加。
4. Which of the following about handathon is NOT right
A. The person who takes part in it should stand still.
B. The person w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ho takes part in it has to place his hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there.
C. The person who ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) takes part in it can have a break during the course of the competition.
D. Handathons are co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mpetitions, so competitors don’t encourage each other.

答案及剖析:1.D　推理判断题。由第一段第一、二句可知,作者那天早上牙痛,又和朋友发生争吵,因此可推知作者很心烦。
2.A　细节理解题。由第三段内 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )容可知,作者觉得看这个牙医都不用等,有可能是因为他技术不好,没有人去看病,这使作者对这位牙医产生了怀疑。故A项正确。
3.B　细节理解题。由倒数第二段第二、三句“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Suddenly I smiled.There was a beautiful picture,right where I could enjoy it:on the ceiling.”可知,作者看到天花板上有幅画时便笑了。
4.C　推理判断题。由倒数第二段最后一句以及 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第一段第三句可知,作者认识到了朋友所说的话是有道理的,自己应该学会站在别人的角度去思考问题。A项意为“趁热打铁”;B项意为“为某人的朋友说好话”;C项意为“换位思考”;D项意为“患难朋友才是真正的朋友”。故C项正确。

阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
We don’t know ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) how different our future will be in the year 2050. We can only try to imagine it.
At first we think abou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet—even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today—we will feel a little lonely.
Computers will al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )so help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.
Spending holiday wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll also be completely different. Travelling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.
We could expect that t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as health will be in better condition.
Although we can’t p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )redict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.
【文章大意】本文主要预测2050年的生活将会是怎样的。
1. Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050
A. Because the number of people will become much smaller.
B. Because there will be less face-to-face communication.
C. Because people won’t like making friends with each other.
D. Because people won’t communicate with each other much often.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第二段的内容可知, 在2050年, 人们主要通过电脑进行交流, 而很少进行面对面的交流, 人与人之间的关系也就淡薄了, 因此那时的人们会感到有点孤独。
2. The third paragraph mainly tells us　　　.
A. that computers will do all the things for human beings
B. how people will use computers to communicate with each other
C. that machines like computers and robots will help people a lot
D. how people will use robots to do the housework
【解析】选C。段落大意题。根据第三段的内容可知, 计算机和机器人等机器会给人类很大的帮助, 故选C项。
3. The underli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ned word“sanguine”in the last paragraph most probably means　　　.
A. disappointed　　　　　　 B. surprised
C. curious D. optimistic
【解析】选D。词义猜测题。根据文章最后一句可以猜测出作者认为我们对未来应该持积极乐观的态度, 故选D项。
4. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. How people will communicate in the year 2050.
B. What our life will be like in the year 2050.
C. How people will travel and spend their holidays in the year 2050.
D. What high technology will appear in the year 2050.
【解析】选B。主旨大意题。文章的第一段就是本文的中心, 即设想2050年的生活是什么样子的, 故选B项。
阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
As children reach kin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dergarten and early grade-school age, they continue to become increasingly more aware of the wider world beyond home, school and their neighborhood. If you haven’t already done so, this can be an excellent time to teach your child about the environment, and how you can work together to go green as a family. If you’ve already introduced some eco-friendly habits in your home, here are some ways your growing child can contribute more to the greening of his world and beyond.
My 7-year-old son di ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )scovered a magazine cover on the table that featured a cover line about polar bears being endangered because of global warming. I decided to be straight with him—I said yes, there is a danger to polar bears and other wildlife because of pollution. But I told him that we can all do something to go green and help make a difference, and perhaps help the polar bears and all living things on our planet.
My grandmothers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) were immigrants(移民)who lived through wars in South Korea. They used to constantly remind me to turn off the lights, and even not to use too much toilet paper. As it turns out, these were great lessons. Have your child get into the habit of turning off lights and electronic equipment when he’s not using them. A nice bonus(意外收获): reducing electricity use can help cut down your bills. A grade-schooler is old enough to understand that water comes from lakes and pools. Explain that wasting it can affect everyone who depends on that water. Wasting water also means wasting energy. A tap that runs for five minutes is equal to letting a 60-watt bulb run for 14 hours, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Make it easier for yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ur grade-schooler to go green by choosing different baskets for glass, metal, paper, and plastic. Have your child draw pictures of recyclable types to mark each basket. Once a season or more, have your child help you look for used clothing, books, toys and other things around the house to give away to local shelters(避难所).
【文章大意】本文作者以自己的亲身经历告诉其他母亲应该如何在生活中帮助孩子变得更有环保意识, 让他们从小就有保护环境的观念。
1. The underlined word“contribute”in Paragraph 1 means　　　.
A. buy　　　 B. use　　　 C. give　　　 D. find
【解析】选C。词义猜测题。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )由于本句里的introduced说明如果你已经介绍给孩子一些环保习惯了, 而且在接下来的三个段落中作者本人又给出一些关于绿色生活的建议。所以这里的contribute的意思是“给出”。
2. What makes polar bears in danger according to the passage
A. The global warming at present and in future.
B. The pollution of the air in developed countries.
C. The loss of the forest all over the world at present.
D. The hunt for them by people from across the world.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。第二段第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一句里的being endangered because of global warming是本题的解题线索。需注意的是B选项, 虽然第二段说到了污染危及一些野生动物的生存, 但并不是针对空气污染而言, 所以不能选B。
3. What does the author learn from her grandmothers
A. Make peace with any other country.
B. Not moving to other foreign countries.
C. Turn off the lights and the water to go green.
D. Live a simple life without spending too much.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。第三 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段作者提到了自己的祖母和外祖母经历过战争后尤其重视节省, 本段的第二句话是解题线索, 第三、四句是作者的体会和经验, 第五句开始给出了自己也身体力行的理由, 所以答案选C。但是注意D项虽然不错, 但是和第二句作者的祖母和外祖母的要求相比, 没有确切说明为了环保而做的具体措施, 所以不能选。
4. What is the best title of the passage
A. Ways to Help Your Child Make Money.
B. Ways to Help Your Child Go Green.
C. Setting up a Recycling Centre for Your House.
D. Setting up Eco-friendly Habits Is Necessary.
【解析】选B。主旨大意题。首先要明 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )确这篇文章的作者是一个母亲, 她在以自己的经历告诉别的母亲应该帮助自己的孩子更环保, 所以选项里的关键词是child和green。

阅读理解——“圈点信息”的细节理解题
细节理解, 就是在原文中能找到的信息, 可以 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )采用“圈点信息”法, 把涉及的信息“圈点”出来, 以便分析利用。做细节理解题时, 可使用如下方法:
1. 细心审题, 带问题“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )圈”答案。先从问题中抓住关键性词语(题眼), 然后以此为线索, 运用略读及跳读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与此问题相关的段落、语句, 仔细品味, 对照比较, 确定答案。
2. 变通理解, 间接转述“圈”答案。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )高考设题常对原句细微处进行改动, 选取原文词语或结构进行改造, 因果倒置, 把A的观点说成B的观点等。所以正确理解题干和信息句的意义是关键。
3. 多点归纳, 综合事实“圈”答案。全面捕捉相关信息, 进行综合分析、归纳, 切忌根据“一面之词”草率地得出结论。
上篇文章中的第2题为细节理 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )解题。审题发现此题要求寻找______________, 这样带着这个问题去原文中“圈点信息”就可以发现“________”为原因, 由此可以找到答案。

When I was thirteen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )years old,I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley,well-equipped with pens,a diary,and a camera.During the trip,I was busy recording every incident,name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively,dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels.On my last night there,I wandered out of my tent,diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon,and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen...
At that point,I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
Now,I only wr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ite in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books,or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures,but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful.I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera,busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
I don’t want to wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ke up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I’ll forget certain facts,but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don’t live to make memories—I just live,and the memories form themselves.

语篇解读:本文为记叙文。作者 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )小时候喜欢写日记,每天忙着把“现在”记录在本子上。但她13岁时的一次经历使她意识到,我们应该学会享受而不是记录“现在”,“活着不是为了记忆”。
答案及剖析:1.D　事实细节题。根据第一段内容,尤其是最后一句“毕竟,积累记忆不就是保存过去的一种方式吗 ”可知选D。
2.B　事实细节题。第二、三段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )描述了作者13岁时的经历,当时作者还是热衷于为了将来的回忆而记录现在,但晚上当她发现山谷的美丽时突然明白,“我写的任何东西都比不上此时让自己好好感受山谷的美丽”,从此作者的态度发生了转变。
3.B　事实细节题。根据第四段可知,作者现在只把自己特别的想法或情感写在日记中,故B项正确。
4.A　推理判断题。最后一段作者说, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“也许我会忘了一些事实,但至少,这些经历将永远在我的心中”。这就是作者对生活的感悟:把握现在,感受今天,生活重在感受而不是为了回忆而记录。
【长难句子分析】

(原创)The British people love talking about
the weather. This hot summer, Europe
was caught in the heat wave, and many parts
of China were also been struggling with
record-breaking temperatures. Therefore,
there’s plenty for the British people to
get excited about.
But beside from a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) simple“hot”, what other ways are there to describe the summer heat Apart from phrases like“boiling hot”, there are many interesting expressions that relate to unbearably hot weather.
Dog days of summer
In books and newspape ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r articles, the period from early July to mid-August is often referred to as the“dog days of summer”. Some think the expression means the weather is so hot that dogs go wild. But in fact, the expression comes from 16th century and refers to the days on which Sirius(天狼星)—the Dog Star—rises at the same time as the sun. The Romans associated the hot weather with this star and would sacrifice a dog every year in April to stop the anger of Sirius.

This expression n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eeds no explanation and although its origin is unclear, it hasn’t stopped thousands of curious tourists from testing if the saying is true, with the result that sidewalks in Death Valley, California—the hottest place in the US—are now littered with broken eggshells. Early in July, the local government asked tourists to stop their cooking experiments. Even so, it is actually possible to fry an egg on the sidewalk, so long as you use a frying pan with a lid and the temperature is at least 49℃.
