8.(16)GWe've worked to make their streets and their schools safer,to give them something positive to do after school and before their parents get home.We've worked to teach our children that drugs are dangerous,illegal and wrong.

A.This is a national tragedy(悲剧)that every American should help to prevent.
B.We have to educate them about the dangers of smoking.
C.It is smoking that is more terrible than drugs.
D.The quicker action we take,the fewer teen smokers there will be.
E.Compared with other diseases,drugs kill more people every day.
F.If we do these,we'll cut teen smoking by almost half over the next five years.
G.Since I took office,I've done much to protect our children from harm.

点评 解题策略
1)从意思上判断 在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子,正确理解了这些句子后,根据意思的连贯性、逻辑性或者线索词从选项中选取正确答案.在读懂意思的基础上,再利用线索特征词等进一步确认答案.
2)从词汇上锁定线索 做保持对一些线索词的敏感是非常重要的,要好好关注空白前后的名词和动词,然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等.其次是一些专有名词,比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等.尤其是在读不懂句子的情况下,利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法.
3)从关联词作为切入点 通常,英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示过渡和衔接,让文章的思路与更清楚、逻辑更连贯,因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索.在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来.

16.Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours in life that by the narrow road toward goals.I like this image.But quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.
  For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents'home in Boise in nine hours.We traveled the way most people do:the fastest,shortest easiest road,especially when I was alone with four noisy,restless kids who hates confinement and have strong opinions about everything.
  Road trips felt risky,so I would drive fast,stopping only when I had to.We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.
  But then Banner,our lamb was born.He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise.I had two choices:leave Banner with my husband,or take him with me.My husband made the decision for me.
  That is how I found my self on the road with four kids,a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through.We took the country roads out of necessity.We had to stop every hour,let Banner shke out his legs and feed him.The kids chased him and one another.They'd get back in the car breathless and energized,smelling fresh from the cold air.
  We explored side roads,catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass.Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother,or fish leaping out of the water,it was better than the best ride down the freeway.Here was life.And new horizons.
  We eventually arrived at my parents'doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories
  I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique.On an empty section of road,everyone started quarreling.I stopped the car,ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead.I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.
  Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight.But that trip with Banner op ened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey----and the best part of yourself.

When Blair turned 5he was sent to a convent (女修道院) school as a day boy in Henley-on-Thames.The reason for this was that his mother wanted him to have the best education,although his family was not wealthy enough to pay for it.His mother asked her brother to see whether he could find a proper school where Eric Blair could be accepted.After some time they sent him to St Cyprian's School in Eastbourne,Sussex,England.At the school the headmaster decided to accept Blair and help him win a scholarship and help his parents by making an agreement in secret for them to pay only half of the normal school fees.After being sent to this school,Blair hated it.He managed to write articles well enough to be published in school magazines,win prizes,and then earn more scholarships into other expensive colleges.

Although he was an experienced writer,his lifestyle was not healthy.Blair's lifestyle consisted of heavy smoking.He also continuously placed himself in situations where it was constantly cold and damp.It was said that he had a love for strong tea and also was known for wearing casual clothing most of the time.As the years went on,he soon became sick and died in 1950.To this day some of his works are still read by many people.

20.The Canadian red and white maple leaf flag is officially called The National Flag of Canada.The Canadian flag shows a stylized red maple leaf with 11points on a white background,with red borders down each side.The Canadian flag is twice as long as it is wide.The white square containing the red maple leaf is the same width as the flag.
The red and white used in the National Flag of Canada were proclaimed the official colours of Canada in 1921by King George V.Although the maple leaf did not have official status as an emblem of Canada until the proclamation(宣布) of the national flag in 1965,it had historically been used as a Canadian symbol,and was used in 1860in decorations for the visit of the Prince of Wales to Canada.The 11points on the maple leaf have no special significance.
In the early days,the Royal Union flag,or the union Jack,was still flown in British north America.In 1925and again in 1946,Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King tried to get a national flag of Canada adopted,and failed.In 1964,Prime Minister Lester Pearson appointed a 15-member,all-party committee to come up with the design of a new flag for Canada.The committee was given six weeks to complete its task.
The committee studied 2000submitted designs as well as 3900that had been gathered as a result of the 1946committee's study.Those designs with a chance of being accepted were given to the full committee for further study.
The suggestion for a red and white single maple leaf design for the Canadian flag came from George Stanley,a professor at Royal Military College in Kingston,Ontario.After a heated discussion, they finally decided on his suggestion.
28.How many colors are there in the National Flag of Canada?B
A.One        
B.Two    
C.Three          
D.Four

17.When building houses,people used to think about not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses.However,since electricity became more and more expensive,people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.
Houses of an old yet new type have been widely built.In some parts of the world,people share their houses with their livestock (家畜).During cold weather,they gather their cows,goats,or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses.The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well.The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses,where people live.By sharing their houses with their livestock,people gain a source of heat.
People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock.However,home builders use the fact that heat rises.This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas.Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor,builders fill it with large rocks.As they are open to the sun's rays during cold weather,these rocks take in heat.They also give off the heat,and,of course,the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses.So these houses are energy saving.
House building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers.They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology.And someday in the future,people will be able to live in more energy saving houses.
32.What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?B
A.The climate of their areas  
B.The energy for their houses
C.The fashions for their houses
D.The building materials for their houses
33.People in some areas gain a source of heat byA.
A.Keeping their livestock downstairs
B.Protecting their livestock from the cold
C.Sharing their houses only with their cows
D.Living on the second floor with their livestock
34.The underlined words"natural law"in the third paragraph refer to the fact thatD.
A.Heat raises the temperature in the houses
B.Heat increases the temperature of rocks
C.Heat goes up if temperature is raised
D.Heat goes in the upward direction
35.From the passage,we can infer thatB.
A.People will no longer consider building materials in the future
B.Energy saving buildings will become more popular in the future
C.Almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocks
D.Energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology.

18.I told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route.He replied,"You mean fortunately."He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.
My attitude to the hill has now changed.I used to complain as I approached it but now I tell myself the following.This hill will exercise my heart and lungs.It will help me to lose weight and get fit.It will mean that I live longer.This hill is my friend.Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free.I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.
Problems are there to be faced and overcome.We cannot achieve anything with an easy life.Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree.Her activism and writing proved inspirational.She wrote,"Character cannot be developed in ease.Only through experiences of suffering can the soul be strengthened,vision cleared,ambition inspired and success achieved."
One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity (逆境).From time to time we all face hardships,problems,accidents and difficulties.Some are of our making but many ae no fault of our own.While we cannot choose the adversity,we can choose our attitude towards it.
Douglas Bader was 21when in 1931he had both egs cut off following a flying accident.He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aviators in the Battle of Britain with 22aerial victories over the Germans.He was an inspiration to others during the war.He said,"Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't do this or that.That's nonsense.Make up your mind,you'll never use crutches (拐杖) or a stick,and then have a go at everythingGo to school,and join in all the games you can.Go anywhere you want to.But never,never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible."
The biographies (传记) of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced.The common thread is that they did not become depressed.They chose their attitude.They chose to be positive.They took on the challenge.They won.
Nevertheless,there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.
32.Which of the following is true according to the author of the passage?C
A.Going to a gym is greatly beneficial to people's health.
B.Climbing hills on bicycles is the est way to take exercise.
C.Those who want to achieve success can't expect to livean easy life.
D.People's attitude to adversity is the only factor of their success.
33.By quoting what Douglas Bader said,the author intends to tell us"A."
A.Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.
B.A bad workman quarrels with his tools.
C.If you risk nothing,you will have nothing.
D.Failure is the mother of success.
34.Following this passage,the author will further talk aboutC.
A.how his friend helped him to change his attitude toards the adversity he faced
B.why it is important to keep optimistic in face of adversity
C.what steps to take to change your attitude towards the adversity you face
D.what great people have in common
35.Which of the following can best function as the title of the passage?D
A.Life is full of adversity
B.Different attitudes towards adversity
C.Nothing is impossible
D.Face adversity with a smile.
