题目内容

【题目】 People can reduce, reuse or recycle waste instead of throwing it away. Matt and Sam decided to do an experiment to see how much waste the three R's could save.

First, they collected the rubbish from six classrooms at their school and then divided the rubbish into three groups:

things that were reusable, such as a pencil or a marker

things that could be recycled, such as cans, glass, or paper

things that were truly waste

Then, Matt and Sam weighed each of the three groups. They discovered that 84% of the total rubbish thrown away that day could be recycled or reused. They decided to do something about it.

Matt and Sam presented the idea of starting a recycling programme to the school leaders. Then they worked with the Student Council. They prepared brochures for the students and their families about recycling. After thinking over the possibility of the programme, the school bought colored containers for each classroom. Besides, each room received a blue container for paper and a green container for glass and cans as well as a red container for real rubbish.

Within a short time, each classroom in the school was sorting recyclable materials from rubbish before it was thrown. To check the school’s progress, Matt and Sam weighed the rubbish one more time. They collected the rubbish from the red containers from the same six classrooms as before, sorted the rubbish into three groups again and weighed each group. This time, they found that the red containers were filled with 90% real waste. Only 10% of recyclable materials had been thrown into the red containers. Matt and Sam were pleased with their efforts.

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Matt and Sam通过一个实验测量了通过3 R's(减少、重复使用、回收利用)能减少多少垃圾,然后在学校推广垃圾分类,达到了减少垃圾、节约资源的目的。

1

细节理解题。由第一段“Matt and Sam decided to do an experiment to see how much waste the three R's could save.”可知,Matt and Sam做实验的目的是为了确认通过3 R's可以节约多少垃圾。故选D项。

2

细节理解题。由第四段“They prepared brochures for the students and their families about recycling.”可知,Matt and Sam为了实施回收利用项目,为学生及其家人准备了关于回收利用的宣传手册。故选C项。

3

细节理解题。由最后一段“they found that the red containers were filled with 90% real waste. Only 10% of recyclable materials had been thrown into the red containers.”可知,在推广回收利用项目之后,红色垃圾桶中有90%是完全的垃圾废物,10%是可以回收利用的。故选C项。

4

推理判断题。综合文章内容可知,文章主要讲述了Matt and Sam通过实验验证3 R's的作用,然后向学校提议进行垃圾分类,最终基本成功实现了垃圾的正确分类,提高了垃圾的回收利用率,对环境做出了积极贡献,可推断他们是有责任感的人。故选D项。

本篇阅读中较难的是第4小题。记叙文中推断人物性格特点需要结合事件本身,或者人物说话的语气、做出的行为的意义等等出发。如果事件具有一定的社会意义和社会影响力,就可以从社会责任感的角度出发去概括。

【题目】DirectionsComplete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Since the end of 20th century, domestic advising of consumer products and services has appeared as a new text type. And along with the development of advertising business, advertising translation has become a common1 in China.

Though Chinese translators and advertising2never debate whether translation should be called translation or adaptation, there have been new studies of advertising translation. Most articles or papers about advertising translation are3with application of translation strategies. Quite a number of scholars advocate two or three translation strategies to the audience and4them with many examples. Zhong advocates literal translation; Wang5domestication and foreignization strategies; Liu supports the domestication strategies and Chen6of the communicative and semantic translation strategies. Some of them attempt to7how to translate advertisements, namely means for advertising translation, while very few of them make8to answer why they should select these strategies instead of others. So far, few scholars have found a theory guiding advertising translation.

In general, domestic studies of advertising translation still linger at the9point. Few articles treat translation of advertising texts as a whole in a systematic and scientific10. And even fewer articles provide a guiding theory concerning advertising translation.

【题目】Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

Over-dried Earth

The south-west of the United States, together with some parts of Mexico across the Rio Grande, is one of the driest parts of the North American continent. But, over the past two decades, even that expected dryness 1 (take) to the limit. According to Park Williams, who works at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, the current lack of rainfall in the area constitutes a megadrought of a severity 2(see) on only four other occasions in the past 1,200 years.

Dr Williams studies the annual growth rings of 1,586 ancient trees, in order to reconstruct soil-moisture patterns going back to 800 A.D. During warm, wet years trees grow fast, producing wide rings. During cold, dry 3 they grow more slowly, producing narrow rings. During a drought, a tree 4 not grow much at all.

5they describe in this week’s Science, the team identified dozens of droughts over the centuries in question. But four stood out. They then took the average soil-moisture value for the current drought and compared it with sequential(连续的) 19-year averages with the previous four, one of them 6(last) nearly a century. This showed that the region is already drier than it was during the first three of the previous megadroughts, and is equivalent to the event of 1575-1603.

In a world 7 human actions are driving temperatures up, Dr Parker and his colleagues wondered how much people are 8(blame) for this state of affairs. To estimate that, they turned to climate modelling.

Climate models are able to re-run the past with and 9 the warming effects of human activity, offering a way to compare what actually happened with what might have done. In their simulated world in which anthropogenic(人类起源的) emissions had not increased the greenhouse-gas effect, the team found that a drought did indeed still influence the western reaches of North America during the first two decades of the 21st century. But this imaginary dry spell was considerably 10(severe) than the real one-ranking 11th rather than 2nd in the period under study (see chart).
