题目内容

【题目】 Recently, I was interviewed by a parenting magazine for a story it was running on eco-parenting (环保式育儿).

The reporter explained that it was expensive to be an eco-parent, with organic baby food and clothing to buy.

But I told her, “I’m sorry, but eco-parenting isn’t about buying ecologically-produced versions of products we think we may need. It’s about discovering what we don’t need.” I told the reporter about my daughter Sarah’s simple wish for a pink balloon on her birthday, but she felt that things would inevitably (不可避免地) change as Sarah grew up and adopted more materialistic desires.

I agreed that Sarah may not always be interested in such simple gifts as balloons, but I couldn’t agree that a birthday needs to be about materialistic desires. To me, a birthday is an opportunity to celebrate the life and the development of person. Do we need to see a table covered with gifts to know that our family and friends love us? Somewhere in our consumer culture, we’ve confused material items with expressions of love and gratitude.

My own birthday was just a few days ago. It came and went in the middle of a snow storm, and my birthday party was canceled. While my husband and I spent much of the day clearing the snow, Sarah made some little dolls for me.

And when we came in to rest, Ula climbed onto my lap and sang Happy Birthday. Throughout the day, my friends called to wish me a happy day, and my mother called, upset that she couldn’t visit.

Later, my husband apologized that he was unable to do anything special for me that day. “I had a fantastic birthday,” I replied, as thought of all the love I’d felt.

【1】What does the author think eco-parents should do according to the article?

A.Buy organic foods and clothing for their kids.

B.Teach their kids to protect the environment.

C.Try to avoid buying useless things for their kids.

D.Allow their kids to make their own choices in life.

【2】What does the author intend to express with Sarah’s story?

A.A pink balloon is the best birthday gift for girls.

B.Kids’ material desires will change as they grow up.

C.We don’t have to express our love with expensive gifts.

D.A birthday is a good occasion for us to seek new experiences.

【3】Why did the author think that her birthday was fantastic?

A.Her husband did something special for her.

B.Many friends came and celebrated it with her.

C.She received meaningful gifts from her children.

D.She felt a lot of love from her family and friends.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】C

【3】D

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己的亲身经历来说明表达心意时不必过分强调物质的观点，没有必要用昂贵的礼物来表来达我们的心意。

【1】

细节理解题。根据第三段中作者的话It’s about discovering what we don’t need.可知，环保型育儿不是指买一些可能需要的环保型产品，而是避免买一些不需要的物品，其他三项文中未体现。故选C。

【2】

推理判断题。根据第四段中的I agreed that Sarah may not always be interested in such simple gifts as balloons, but I couldn’t agree that a birthday needs to be about materialistic desires.以及后文可推知，作者想以Sarah的故事传达出表达心意时不必过分强调物质的观点，没有必要用昂贵的礼物表达我们的心意，A项文中未体现；由第四段可知，作者是说随着Sarah长大，她有了更多的物质欲望，不是指所有的孩子，而且也不符合作者意图，因此可排除B项；D项的重点在过生日上，而作者用这个例子重点在eco-parenting和consumer culture上。故选C。

【3】

推理判断题。根据文章最后三段可知，作者生日那天天气不好，生日聚会被取消了，但是那天她收到了女儿为她做的布娃娃，Ula为她唱生日歌，朋友和父母都打来电话祝贺她，以及丈夫为没能给她过一个特别的生日而道歉，这些事让作者感受到了满满的爱，所以她认为她的那次生日棒极了。由最后一段中的Later, my husband apologized that he was unable to do anything special for me that day.可知，A项错误；由倒数第二段中的Throughout the day, my friends called to wish me a happy day, and my mother called, upset that she couldn’t visit.可知，B项错误；由最后两段可排除C项。故选D。

【题目】 For thousands of years, salting was a common way to preserve food. Corned beef (咸牛肉）, bacon, green beans, and hundreds of other foods were preserved with salt.【1】 Then, in the 1800s, a Frenchman named Louis Pasteur discovered the secret: bacteria.

What does salt have to do with bacteria? Two things: First, bacteria need moisture (水分）to grow and multiply. Salt pulls moisture out of food, so the bacteria die. 【2】 If you cover food with salt or very salty liquid, bacteria outside the food die before they get in, and bacteria already in the food are poisoned by the salt that goes inside.

【3】 For meat or fish,you pour on a layer of salt, then rub it in well, leaving a salt crust (盾）all over the outside. Hams are often made this way. Another way is to put food into very salty water, called brine (卤水）.【4】 The salt will draw the moisture out of the food, creating a kind of brine that the food sits in.

Today, in most parts of the world, salting, is no longer necessary. 【5】 But even though we no longer rely on salt to keep our food fresh, we haven’t lost our taste for salt. We don’t want to give up our bacon, corned beef or salted beans.

A.So how do you preserve food with salt?

B.Next, it can make food too salty to eat.

C.Second, salt is poisonous to many bacteria.

D.But for a long time, no one knew why salt worked.

E.You can alternate layers of food and salt in a big jar.

F.People buy food in cans, keep it in the refrigerator, or freeze it.

G.They use salt to preserve meat, fish, vegetables, and even fruit.

On Friday, our teacher told us there will be an English corner in our campus. Hardly had I finished the last class than I set off there.

To my joyful, the English corner had just been on for a few minute. I joined them on their talk. At the first, I was afraid that my English was too poor to make myself understand.

【题目】 Dangwal was a teacher in Bankholi village from December 2016 till August 21th this year. The school is attended by about 200 children of seven villages. “I had spent nearly three years teaching children in this school and spending time with the villagers. They always considered me as a member of their own family. That is why when I told them that I have been sent to another school, they could not believe it,” said Dangwal.

On learning his leaving, the villagers told him that they would like to organize a “Goodbye” party for him, on which he agreed but placed a condition that “It should be a small one.” However, on the final day I was surprised to see a large number of villagers gathered near the school with drums. As soon as I stepped out of the school, children and women started crying by hugging me while asking me not to go. The love brought tears to my eyes as well,” Dangwal said.

Remembering his early days in the school, Dangwal said it was not easy for him to adjust but gradually he managed it. “In the six months, I faced some problems as the culture and language of the villagers in the area was different from mine. I learnt it, which helped me to get along with the children and villagers,” Dangwal recalled.

“He was not just a teacher of our children but one of us. He always stood with every villager in the hour of need. His leaving the school is a big loss for us,” one of the villagers, Mamta Rawat, said while praising Dangwal.
