【题目】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。

After years of study，I have known there are only two types of people in this world：those who get to the airport early and those who arrive as the plane is about to take off.

If there were any justice in this world，the earlyairport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing and the lateairport people would be punished.But the earlyairport people get ulcers(溃疡)，heart attacks and bite their fingernails to the bone (急得团团转)．The lateairport people are hardly aware that they are flying.

A guy of that kind once said，“Don’t hurry.If you miss your flight，it’s because God didn’t want you to go.”This is clearly a guy who is never going to get an ulcer.

Earlyairport people suffer another“name”．They are called exactly what they are—wimps(懦夫)．I know I am an earlyairport person for years.My luggage will get on the plane first，which makes it the last luggage they take off the plane after landing.

Another strange thing：No matter how early I showed up，I was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat.I figured it was a trick.I figured there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said，“Is that wimp Simon flying somewhere today？If he is，give me his seat.”

After a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead，I have learned another fact about earlyairport people and lateairport people：

They always marry each other.

【1】We can learn from the passage that________.

A．lateairport persons often get ulcers or heart attacks

B．earlyairport persons are always relaxed during the flight

C．earlyairport persons get their luggage first after landing

D．lateairport persons always take things easy

【2】The fifth paragraph mainly tells us________.

A．someone always plays tricks on the writer

B．the airlines usually fool passengers

C．earlyairport persons always can’t get good seats

D．the service of airlines is very bad

【3】The purpose of writing the passage is to________.

A．give useful tips on taking a plane

B．offer advice about catching a plane

C．express the writer’s anxiety about taking planes

D．show peoples two attitudes toward catching planes

【4】It could be inferred that the writer’s wife is________.

A．an earlyairport woman B．a lateairport woman

C．a hottempered woman D．a sensitive woman

【5】The writing style of the passage would be best described as________.

A．serious B．simple

C．humorous D．ironic

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】D

【4】B

【5】C

【解析】

【1】细节理解题。从第二段及第三段所举事例可知，晚到机场的人总是沉得住气，不慌不忙，故选D。从第二段第二句可知A项和B项错；从第四段最后一句可知C项错。

【2】段落大意题。从第五段可知作者通过描述自己的亲身经历得出一个结论：早到机场的人往往不能得到想要的座位，故C选项正确。A项是作者的一个玩笑。因为他总是得不到想要的座位，所以才会说I figured it was a trick；B项和D项无法从第五段推出。

【3】意图推测题。通读全文不难推断出作者写此文章主要介绍了人们对于赶飞机的两种截然不同的态度，故D选项正确。

【4】推理判断题。根据文章可知作者属于“早到机场的人。”文章的结尾提到了作者的另一个发现：早到机场的人总是与晚到机场的人结婚。由此，可推知作者的妻子属于“晚到机场的人”，故选B。

【5】推理判断题。综观全文，作者的写作风格诙谐幽默，妙趣横生，故选C。

Sunny 31st, July

It was sunny today and I was in a good mood. Tired of studying or the noise of city life, I come to the ecology park to enjoy scenery and get relaxing in the afternoon.

While I arrived at the park, what came into its sight were the thick green trees. The air was fresh. In addition, I could clearly see a path around the pond. Lying on the grasses decorated with various flowers, I felt with ease because all that I wanted was peace inside.

Therefore, with time going by quickly, the sun was setting in the west. So I had to return back home. I would never forget such romantic experience, which was really beyond description.

As Christmas is coming, I plan to buy something for my parent. What I want to give back is a VIP card of a health club but neither of them is doing enough exercise. My father works very hardly as a teacher, spending most of his time at school. My mother loves reading and often bury herself in her books. Therefore, all of them should exercise more from now on.

I want to give them this card to express my love and thanks for them. I hope that they will be able to get relaxing in the health club and make more friends here. At the same time, I hope that they can take care their health.

【题目】Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008 to 2012. Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.

【1】It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that ________.

A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020

B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countries

C. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto Protocol

D. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming

【2】If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what would happen by the year 2100?

A. The human population would increase by one third.

B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist.

C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.

D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached.

【3】If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive, the maximum temperature rise, since the start of the industrial age, should be_______.

A. 0.8℃B. 1.5℃C. 2℃D. 3.5℃

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 （A 、B 、C 和 D ）中，选出最佳选项。

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.
“We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were on holiday.” I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is said “vacaciones”. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to houses where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels.
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means “fun”. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French, I meant that I would like some more, however to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, Thank you”.
（1）The author's Spanish friends wanted advice about _______.
A.some funny English stories
B.finding places to stay in England
C.driving their car on English roads
D.going to England by car
（2）The author suggested that they stay at “bed and breakfast” because _______.
A.it would be convenient for them to have dinners and live
B.it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels
C.they would be able to practice their English in the house
D.there would be no problem about finding accommodation there
（3）“NO VACANCIES” in English means _______.
A.no free rooms
B.free rooms
C.not away on holiday
D.they don't live
（4）If you see road sign that says “Diversion” in England, you will _______.
A.take the road and you will be excited
B.have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself
C.find that the road is blocked by crowds of people
D.have to take a different road

【题目】Before I studied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred. While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be.

I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The joke wasn’t only funny, it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.

The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you envy one of your friends, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him.

In short, we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage making fun of anyone orbelittlingsomeone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions, he will certainly like it a lot.

【1】What did the author find out after studying psychology?

A. Only good jokes make people laugh

B. Many factors lead to people laughing.

C. Funny things can make people laugh

D. Laughter can make people healthy.

【2】Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians?

A. They played a trick on the pedestrians.

B. The pedestrians behaved in a funny way.

C. They could feel the pedestrians’ happiness.

D. Their emotion was approved of by the show.

【3】What does the underlined word “belittling” probably mean?

A. Annoy B. Blame

C. Look down on D. Make up to

【4】Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 （A 、B 、C 和 D ）中，选出最佳选项。

The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software (软件)or by altering the architecture but that too will happen.
I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon (硅) will arise first to compete and then do better than their human ancestors. Once they do better than us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbon's long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.
As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale we may use them to improve environments. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, man-created world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.
（1）In what way can we make a machine intelligent?
A.By making it work in such environments as deserts, oceans or space.
B.By working hard for 10 or 20 years.
C.By either properly programming it or changing its structure.
D.By reproducing it.
（2）What does the writer think about machines with human-like ability?
A.He believes they will be useful to human beings.
B.He believes that they will control us in the future.
C.He is not quite sure in what way they may influence us.
D.He doesn't consider the construction of such machines possible.
（3）The word “carbon” (Line 4, Para.2) stands for _________.
A.intelligent robots
B.a chemical element
C.an organic substance
D.human beings
（4）It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A.after connections with phones, robots will be able to have self-reproduction
B.people have come to realize the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability
C.once we make a machine as complex as the human brain, it will have intelligence
D.robots will have control of the vast, man-made world in space

I don’t remember exact how old I was when I began to ride a bike. I only remembered how I practiced riding a bike in early years. When I first successfully rode a bike, that remains a vivid memory, my brother helped me with holding the back seat of the bike while I was riding. “Wow, I did it!”, cried I, as soon as he noticed I was riding without his hands hold it! I learnt quickly, and soon, even though my feet were not touching the ground, but I was able to cycle around six kilometer a day to school! It’s so lovely to remember which happened at that time.
