【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Day 1
I first heard of “Show Racism (种族歧视) the Red Card” when my friend Jill asked me to support their work. Basically, it's an organization which uses professional (职业的) footballers to help fight racism in sport and society. A few weeks later, he asked me if I wanted to do a bit more for them. I thought he probably meant for me to give money or do some voluntary work. But then he told me that a group of about 20 people were getting sponsored (赞助) to play the highest ever game of rugby (橄榄球) at 5,140 meters on Mount Everest.
Day 4
We're making our way up to the base camp — that's where most climbers start their final climb to the top — and then, we'll play our game. Today we started out at 8 am. We had to cross three suspension bridges (悬索桥). One of them was so high that you couldn't see the bottom. Then we walked through some beautiful forest areas before we started a two-hour uphill hike to Namche Bazaar.
Day 10
Base camp is basically just a lot of stones and tents. The walk up was really exhausting. Maybe if I was fitter, I wouldn't find this so hard, but then it was not just me — all of us got very short of breath.
Day 11
Today we played our game. It was supposed to be a “friendly” game, and last night, we had agreed we'd just walk and not run. However, it was a really heated game and two players were even sent off. We only played for 14 minutes. I think someone would have got hurt if we'd played any longer! My team won and I scored the last try! Of course, none of this matters. What's really important is that we did it and we've raised a load of money.
(1)The first time the author was asked to do something for Jill's work, he _____.
A.got a big shock
B.accepted his request
C.looked down upon Jill
D.spread the news to 20 people
(2)What can we learn about the game of rugby on Mount Everest?
A.It got little attention.
B.It was a bit competitive.
C.It ended because someone was injured.
D.It was held on the top of Mount Everest.
(3)The author's trip to Mount Everest can be described as _____.
A.frightening and fruitless
B.relaxing and interesting
C.hard but successful
D.short but fantastic

【答案】
(1)B
(2)B
(3)C
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者记录了他去珠峰打橄榄球比赛的经历。

⑴考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“A few weeks later, he asked me if I wanted to do a bit more for them.”可知,作者欣然答应了Jill的第一次请求。故选B。

⑵考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“it was a really heated game and two players were even sent off.”可知,尽管赛前我们说好了打一场友好的、只走不跑的比赛,但真正的比赛却很激烈,甚至有两名队员被罚下场。故选B。

⑶考查推理判断。根据作者描述他们穿越深不见底的悬索桥、遭遇缺氧、只打了14分钟的比赛以及最终筹集到了善款可知,作者认为此次到珠峰打球赛,过程虽艰难但却成功地达到了目的。故选C。

【题目】How to drive greener

Buying green can produce great benefits and so can small changes in your driving behavior. 1

1. Avoid aggressive driving. Sudden starts and aggressive driving can waste your gas. 2 That’s because just one second of high-powered driving can produce the same level of CO as 30 minutes of normal driving.

2. 3 A lot of us like to push the speedometer up to 75 miles per hour on the highway. However, slowing down to 65 miles per hour can increase your fuel economy by up to 10 percent and reduce the amount of pollution coming from your car.

3. Plan ahead. When possible, plan your trips to avoid the stop-and-go of rush hour. And remember to pack all of your tasks into one trip since a warmed-up engine produces fewer emissions (排放物).

4. Pay attention at the gas station. Don’t overfill your gas tank or try to top it off because spilled (溢出) gas changes into mixture of fog and smoke and can pollute groundwater. When you are finished filling up, be sure you tighten your gas cap. 4

5. Park smart. Parking your car in the shade not only helps you avoid feeling very hot in your car, but it helps minimize evaporation (蒸发) of fuel.

6. 5 By walking, cycling or public transport, you will make a big difference for our planet. Leave your car at home just two days a week. And you will help cut greenhouse gas emissions by 1,500 pounds a year.

A. Change the oil.

B. Slow down.

C. Leave your car at home.

D. And this type of driving behavior adds to pollution.

E. In this way you can save as much as 30 gallons a year.

F. The following advice can help you save gas and contribute to the well-being of our planet.

G. Parking in your garage when possible to cut down on summer heat and keep off frost in the winter.

A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, saying, “You don't say!” “You don't say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. “Well, I'd better change the topic.” So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall By the way, have you ever been there. “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It is magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide, “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his order, “You don't say!” I couldn't help asking. I said, “Didn't you say you don't say” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “You don't say actually means really It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don't pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I realize I had made a fool of myself.
