Passage 1

　　【語篇導(dǎo)讀】文章通過對一場環(huán)境污染的訴訟,介紹了橘子皮對土壤的改善作用。

　　1.What did Del Oro usually do with orange peels?

　　A.Add them to fuel. B.Feed them to animals.

　　C.Burn or bury them. D.Make them into cakes.

　　答案　C

　　解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段最后一句話“Dealing with tons of leftover peels usually involved burning them or paying to have them poured into a landfill...”可知,之前處理橘子皮的方式一般包括燒掉或花錢請人掩埋。

　　2.What can we know about the deal between Del Oro and the national park?

　　A.It lasted 15 years.

　　B.It was signed by Treuer.

　　C.It carried out for about a year.

　　D.It was broken by Del Oro.

　　答案　C

　　解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段可知Del Oro與national park 達(dá)成協(xié)議,往公園里傾倒橘子皮,但一年后由于其他果汁公司的訴訟終止了。

　　3.What was Treuer’s finding?

　　A.Orange peels contain much fibre.

　　B.Orange peels can make soil richer.

　　C.Orange peels rot away in a short time.

　　D.Orange waste ruined the national park.

　　答案　B

　　解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第五段中的“They found great differences between the area covered with orange peels and those that were not.The area with orange waste had richer soil.”可知,他們發(fā)現(xiàn)被傾倒過橘子皮的土壤更肥沃。

　　4.What is the author’s attitude toward the judge mentioned in the last paragraph?

　　A.Disapproving. B.Positive.

　　C.Worried. D.Admirable.

　　答案　A

　　解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的“...but what is really shocking is that a judge actually thought the waste of orange ‘polluted’ a national park and stopped it from going forward.”可知,這位法官認(rèn)為橘子皮會污染公園,而作者在文中的最后一句話“...this type of ‘ruining’ is being seriously considered as a way of bringing forests back to life.”指出,橘子皮實(shí)際上使森林恢復(fù)了生機(jī),所以作者不贊成法官的做法。

　　【長難句分析】Dealing with tons of leftover peels usually involved burning them or paying to have them poured into a landfill,so the proposal was very attractive.

　　處理成噸的剩余的橘子皮通常需要燒了它們或者花錢把它們倒進(jìn)垃圾填埋場,所以這個建議非常吸引人。

　　本句是一個并列句。第一個分句的主語是Dealing with...,第二個分句的主語是the proposal,have them poured...是“have sth.done結(jié)構(gòu)”。

Passage 2

　　【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文告訴我們,教學(xué)可以讓老師在一個人的生活中產(chǎn)生積極影響。

　　1.What’s the author’s purpose to take John for example?

　　A.To show that her students were all excellent readers.

　　B.To develop her own idea about English literature.

　　C.To prove what she had just said was true.

　　D.To persuade her readers to change their minds.

　　答案　C

　　解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“I have changed the way students perceive(感知) literature and have even inspired some to become English teachers.”和第二段“One student in particular is named John....He seemed very mature for his age.”可知,作者舉約翰這個例子是為了證明她之前所說的話。

　　2.Why did John choose to dedicate his autobiographical essay to Ms.Hopkins?

　　A.He thought she was significant in his life.

　　B.He wanted to say to her that she was a red rose.

　　C.He expected her to know he had enjoyed her class.

　　D.He remembered she had promised to let him be a poet.

　　答案　A

　　解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Ms.Hopkins,I just want you to know that you are a rose in my life and I have enjoyed every minute of being in your class.You have shown me that I have purpose in life and that I am a poet.I will never forget you.”可知,約翰選擇把他的自傳文章獻(xiàn)給霍普金斯老師是因?yàn)樗�認(rèn)為她對他來說很重要。

　　3.What kind of person was the author according to the text?

　　A.Gentle. B.Passionate.

　　C.Humorous. D.Indifferent.

　　答案　B

　　解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Needless to say,I love my...to my future students.”可知,作者是充滿激情的,所以選B項(xiàng)。

　　4.Which of the following can be the best title for this text?

　　A.The difference a good teacher can make.

　　B.The friendship Ms.Hopkins and John developed.

　　C.An experience only Ms.Hopkins and her students could have.

　　D.The significant contribution everyone can make.

　　答案　A

　　解析　主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章最后一句“Teaching allows teachers to make a positive difference in the life of someone.”可知A項(xiàng)高度概括文章主題。

　　【長難句分析】I have always wanted to talk literature to my students so that they could find relevant connections which would finally give them that motivation to read,write and interpret.

　　我一直希望能和我的學(xué)生討論一下文學(xué),這樣他們就能找到他們與文學(xué)之間的聯(lián)系,最終給他們閱讀、寫作和翻譯的動力。

　　本句是一個復(fù)合句。so that引導(dǎo)的是目的狀語從句,which引導(dǎo)的是限制性定語從句。
