【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
When I spent the summer with my grandmother, she always set me down to the general store with a list. Behind the counter was a lady like no one I'd ever seen.
“Excuse me,” I said. She looked up and said, “I'm Miss Bee.”
“I need to get these.” I said, holding up my list. “So? Go get them. ” Miss Bee pointed to a sign. “There's no one here except you and me and I'm not your servant, so get yourself a basket from that pile.”
I visited Miss Bee twice a week that summer. Sometimes she shortchanged me. Other times she overcharged. Going to the store was like going into battle. All summer long she found ways to trick me. No sooner had I learned how to pronounce “bicarbonate of soda” and memorized its location on the shelves than she made me hunt for it all over again. But by summer's end the shopping trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes. The morning I was to return home, I stopped in to get some run.
“All right, little girl,” she said. “What did you learn this summer?” “That you're a meanie!” I replied. Miss Bee just laughed and said, “I know what you think of me. Well, I don't care! My job is to teach every child I meet life lessons. When you get older you'll be glad!” Glad I met Miss Bee? Ha! The idea was absurd.
Until one day my daughter came to me with homework troubles. “It's too hard,” she said. “Could you finish my math problems for me?”
“If I do it for you, how will you ever learn to do it yourself?” I said. Suddenly, I was back at that general store where I had learned the hard way to add up my bill by myself. Had I ever been overcharged since?
(1)How did the author first shop in the store?
A.She shopped with her grandmother together.
B.Miss Bee gave her a hand.
C.She asked a servant to help her.
D.She served herself.
(2)What can we infer about Miss Bee?
A.Her tricks made the author finish shopping in a shorter time.
B.She neither shortchanged the author nor overcharged her.
C.Teaching kids lessons was Miss Bee's job at that time.
D.Miss Bee used to learn to pronounce the names of some goods in the store.
(3)The author mentioned her daughter to __________.
A.show her satisfaction with her kid's homework.
B.tell readers Miss Bee's effect on her.
C.inform readers of her irresponsibility for her kid.
D.express her opposition to Miss Bee.

【答案】
(1)D
(2)A
(3)B
【解析】文章主要叙述作者年轻时去一个杂货店买东西,店主Miss Bee对她的影响。

⑴句意理解和分析。根据“There's no one here except you and me and I'm not your servant, so get yourself a basket from that pile.”可知Miss Bee说自己不是仆人,所以作者应该是自己完成购物的,所以答案是D。

⑵细节推理。根据All summer long she found ways to trick me.和But by summer's end the shopping trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes.可知Miss Bee的玩笑让作者短时间内就完成了购物。所以答案是A。

⑶细节理解。根据“I know what you think of me. Well, I don't care! My job is to teach every child I meet life lessons. When you get older you'll be glad!”可知Miss Bee之所以那么做是想教会作者一些东西,作者知道她自己女儿问自己作业时才想起Miss Bee女士是为作者好,表明她对作者的影响。所以答案是B。

【题目】As I write this I’m sitting on a bus back to Santiago in Chile where I am currently working as a language assistant. I’ve just spent the weekend in a city 1 (call) La Serena north of Santiago. I was lucky enough to see the flowering desert, a natural phenomenon that 2 (occur) around every five years here in the Atacama Desert.

3 (follow) a particularly large amount of rainfall earlier, a(n) 4(vary) of flowers come into blossom. Bright purple flowers create 5 unbelievably beautiful scene at the base of the surrounding mountains.

6 (catch) a glimpse of this magnificent treasure of nature, we took a bus from La Serena to a nearby town and then rented a car to go to the desert. 7 we saw did not disappoint us, and as expected it was even more fascinating than the pictures we had seen online. The bloom was particularly 8 (impress) this year due to the strong presence of El Nio (a band of warm water in the Pacific Ocean that changes the temperatures and increases the rainfall in certain areas). The vast carpet of colour 9 spread into the distance towards the contrasting green hills was 10 (simple) breathtaking and deserved a large amount of photos! A real reminder of the beauty our planet can provide.

【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.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
I was born in Thailand, where I feel at home. I am used to jumping on to a song taow (red taxi), and squeezing (挤过) in between two strangers. I am used to bargaining at the market to get a shirt that I like. I love telling bilingual (双语的) jokes and I am used to the surprised looks I get from the Thais when I can speak their language fluently.
Every two years my family goes to America for the summer, and every two years my world is turned upside down. The prices of everything are three times what they were in Thailand, but there is the sweet drink Dr. Pepper! And Bluebell Ice-cream! And everything you could imagine! I am amazed at it all, but the biggest change for me is the people. There are white people everywhere. I am not tall but average (中等的), my yellow hair is no longer out of place, and speaking English no longer draws looks. I should feel comfortable. I'm not out of place anymore, and nobody is looking at me, but I feel like they are. Now I feel out of place and different. I'm not used to giving people handshakes and hugs when I meet them for the first time. I get looks when I have trouble figuring out how much money to pay. I know different music, different places, and different fashion. I can't understand these people who have never left their town or city.
Still, there are quite a few perks about living overseas. I get to meet people from all over the world, and I know how to adjust to (适应) different cultures and places. I have been to places most people see only in geography books. Still, being so different makes it hard to know who you are. I'm not Thai, but I am not American either. I am a mix of both cultures, a third culture kid.
(1)When the Thais give the author surprised looks, she feels _____.
A.upset
B.strange
C.normal
D.different
(2)When the author returns to America, _____.
A.she makes more friends

C.she can't find what she needs
D.she is like a fish out of water
(3)The underlined word “perks” in the last paragraph can be replaced by _____.

B.problems
C.advantages
D.suggestions
(4)In this text, the author mainly wants to describe _____.
A.her different lifestyles
B.a kind of culture shock
C.a feeling of loneliness
D.her ability to face difficulties

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.

Dear Diary,
Here I am in the middle of a city, 350 miles far away from our farmhouse. Do you want to know why we move last week? Dad lost his job, and as Mom explained, “He is lucky to find other one.” His new job meant I had to say goodbye to my classmate, my school and just everything else I love in the world. To make things bad, now I have to share a room to my younger sister, Maggie. Tomorrow is first day of school. I am very tiring, but I know I'll never fall asleep.
Good night or remember, you, dear diary, is my only souvenir of my past life and my only friend.
Yours
Rosemary
