【题目】The minute Joe Serna walked into the Veterans Treatment Court, he could feel his shoulders tense up. He had come to turn himself in (自首).
Six months earlier, Serna had been arrested for driving after drinking and was required to report to Judge Lou Olivera’s court every two weeks to take a test and prove he hadn’t been drinking. Serna had passed every biweekly screening—until the week before. Positive. He decided to try to bluff his way out of trouble. “I never had a drink, Judge,” he told the court.
^Both Joe Serna and Judge Olivera were old soldiers, and Olivera had come to know and admire Serna as he participated in the court’s program to help old soldiers with drinking and addiction problems. And that was what had brought Serna back to Olivera’s court a week after his lie. “This guy is a fellow soldier,” he told himself. “I need to make this right.” So Serna stood before Olivera and admitted, “I lied, Judge. I was drinking.”
After countless combats and the memories of many “best buddies” losing their lives, 39-year-old Joe Serna left the army in 2013 with 18 years of service. But in truth, the terrible memories had never left him and would reappear in nightmares. And that’s the reason for his drinking. To this day, being stuck in a closed space can cause flashbacks (突然重现) for Serna.
On the day when Serna admitted he had lied about drinking, the judge was moved and decided on the punishment: one night in jail.
The next night, Joe Serna was in a small cell and felt he would soon be flashing back to a terrible war. Then the door opened, and Judge Olivera came in. Serna was confused. But a few minutes later, he understood the judge had decided to spend the night with him. The two talked for hours about their service, their families, and their hopes for the future. At around one in the morning, Serna fell asleep. “He will be OK now,” the judge said to himself as he rolled up his shirt into a makeshift pillow.
【1】Which can best replace the underlined words in the second paragraph?
A. explain without being disturbed B. get away with his wrong-doing
C. give the court a little trouble D. give up drinking in future
【2】What made Serna decide to turn himself in?
A. His sickness in his shoulders. B. His admiration for Olivera.
C. Olivera’ s help and identity. D. The advice of Serna’s family.
【3】What can we know about Joe Sema?
A. He didn’t admit his fault and thus got punished.
B. He lost his life direction and got himself drunk often.
C. He had planned to talk more with Olivera in the cell.
D. He joined the army when he was 21 years old.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A. An Army of Two B. A Considerate Judge
C. Two Soldiers’ War Experience D. Honesty Is the Best Policy
【答案】
【1】B
【2】C
【3】D
【4】A
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。法官 Olivera和违法者Serna都是退役军人。Olivera敬佩Serna，帮助他戒酒；Serna被Olivera所感动，决定改正自己的错误；他们一起在监狱里度过一晚，共同克服战争给Serna带来的后遗症。
【1】词义猜测题。据第二段可知，Serna需要每两周到法院进行酒精測试，上上周检测结果为阳性。而他却告诉法官说他未曾饮酒，明显是想逃避法律的惩罚。故选B。
【2】细节理解题。根据第三段可知，法官 Olivera敬佩Serna，且帮助过他进行戒酒。当 Serna想到法官也是一位退伍军人时，他觉得自己不应该对他撒谎，应该改正自己的错误。故选C。
【3】推理判断题。根据第四段中的39-year-old Joe Serna left the army in 2013 with 18 years of service. 可知，Joe Serna在服役18年之后，39岁时离开部队，可推知他是21岁时入伍的。故选D。
【4】标题归纳题。法官 Olivera和Serna l都是退役军人。 Olivera敬佩Sema，帮助他戒酒；Serna 被 Olivera所感动，决定改正自己的错误；他们一起在监狱里度过一晚，共同克服战争给Serna带来的后遗症。他们就像是一个战壕里的战友，一个只有两名战士的部队。故选A。

【题目】Variety is the spice of language. The words listed in this book are not intended to replace those that most people use most of the time. Rather, they are variations on the theme. We tend to use the same old words over and over again, to limit our powers of expression by limiting our vocabulary. 【1】 but why not enhance your speech and writing by learning to use new ones from time to time ds alternatives?
How often have you spoken of having an accident? 【2】 Or why not occasionally describe a situation as aggravated（恶化）instead of worsened.
I don’t mean that you should throw away the Mold words”. 【3】 English is an especially rich language, and often there are differences between two words that are generally regarded as die same. Thus, a mishap is not merely an accident; it is an unfortunate accident. Because there can be fortunate accidents, like bumping into an old friend you haven’t seen for years and whose address you’ve lost. 【4】.
No doubt a good many words in the list will be familiar to you, but do you use them, or do they remain the “property” of others? 【5】 Try to make these words your own, as companions or friendly rivals of the ones you have owned in the past. Let them compete, and make your language all the richer.
A. Just vary them with the “new words”.
B. Many words have more than one meaning.

D. English words are grouped according to their origins.

【题目】Americans, especially the millennials（千禧一代）, are always glued（固着于）to their phones. A common day of the average university student in America starts off like this: an alarm clock wakes you up, which is quickly followed by checking social media such as Twitter and Facebook. Once in classes, you are again attracted by your buzzing phone and access to the Internet rather than pay attention to the lecturing professor. Then you have lunch with some friends, only to look up from your screen to realize that no one has said a word in five minutes and instead all are looking at their phones. Once the day ends, you can’t help checking all forms of social media again before finally being able to shut your eyes only to repeat this vicious cycle the next day.
Cyberbullying（网络霸凌）, a concept unknown before, is now in fashion. Many of the millennials are using the Internet to make jokes about others to points of extremes. The Internet gives cowards bravery; people feel like their actions and words have no bad results because they cannot see the ache it causes another.
Millennials also think that whatever information shows up on their screens must be taken as truth, whether the material is reliable（可靠的）or not.
Social media is not all bad, however. People are still able to use social media to connect with friends and family who live a great distance away. With a few clicks of a button, someone could make another person smile, or give words of hope and encouragement to a friend in need, or even help repair a broken relationship. Cyberspace is a vortex（漩涡）that is easy to get caught up in, but we must find a balance to keep both feet in reality while traveling across the online world.
【1】What does the underlined part in Paragraph l mean?
A. You can’t break away from your phone.
B. You decide to get rid of this bad behaviour later.
C. You return to going cycling the following day.
D. You are caught in the busy life.
【2】What can be learned about the milennials?
A. They often mistake facts for personal opinions.
B. They prefer to communicate face to face.
C. They are often made fun of in the cyberspace.
D. They don’t make their own judgement.
【3】What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To state the ill effect of social media.
B. To prove the benefit of cyberspace.
C. To suggest using the social media wisely.
D. To introduce the function of phones.
【4】Which way of using social media is advised by the writer?
A. Being glued to the phones all the time.
B. Promoting relationships.
C. Losing themselves in the cyberspace.
D. Fighting against others.

【题目】 Although small business training and credit programs have become more common throughout the world, little attention has been paid to the need of young people, and even less to the children living on the street or in difficult condition.
Over the past nine years, Street Kids International (S.K.I.) has been working with partner organizations in Africa, Latin America and India to support the economic lives of street children and develop opportunities for street children to earn income.
The S.K.I. Bicycle Courier Service first started in the Sudan. Street children who took part in it were given bicycles, which they used to deliver parcels and messages. A similar program was taken up in Bangalore, India. The Shoe Shine Collective was a program with the Y.W.C.A. in the Dominican Republic. The children in this project were lent money to buy shoe shine boxes. They were also given a safe place to store their equipment, and facilities for individual savings plans. The Youth Skills Enterprise Initiative in Zambia is a program with the Red Cross Society and the Y.W.C.A. Street youths are supported to start their own small business through business training, life skills training and access to credit.
During the program, The S.K.I. and partner organizations have drawn lessons from the past: First of all, being a businessman is not for everyone, nor for every street child. And it is important for all loans to be linked to training programs that include the development of basic business and life skills. Secondly, small loans are provided firstly for buying fixed assets such as bicycles, shoe shine kits and basic building materials for a market stall. As the children gain experience, they can be given more loan amounts. And all S.K.L. programs have charged interest on the loans. Generally the rates have been lower than bank rates. Most importantly, it is believed that credit must be given with other types of support that help the young develop key life skills as well as productive businesses.
【1】How does S.K.I. help the street children?
A.By giving the street children chances to go to school.
B.By encouraging the public to give money to street children.
C.By creating chances for street children to make money.
D.By drawing the attention of governments to help street children.
【2】Street youths can be lent money to buy shoe shine boxes in _______.
A.The Dominican RepublicB.Zambia
C.IndiaD.Sudan
【3】The underlined word “assets” in the last paragraph probably can be replaced by _______.
A.clothingB.vehicleC.equipmentD.belongings
【4】From the last paragraph we know _______.
A.each child can only enjoy one kind of loan
B.not all loans should be linked to training programs
C.any child can apply for the business training and loan
D.the children have to pay back slightly more money than they borrow

【题目】Life-Changing Science Discoveries
Here’s a look at some discoveries that have changed the world. It’s impossible to rank their importance, so they’re listed in the order they were discovered.
Micro-organism
Before French chemist Louis Pasteur began experimenting with bacteria in the 1860s, people did not know what caused disease. He not only discovered that disease came from micro-organisms, but also realized that bacteria could be killed by heat and disinfectant(消毒剂). This idea caused doctors to wash their hands and disinfect their instruments, which has saved millions of lives.
Penicillin
Antibiotics are powerful drugs that kill dangerous bacteria in our bodies that make us sick. In 1928, British Alexander Fleming discovered the first antibiotic, penicillin, which he grew in his lab. Without antibiotics, infections like strep throat could be deadly
DNA
On February 28, 1853, James Watson of the United States and Francis Crick of England made one of the greatest scientific discoveries in history. The two scientists found the structure of DNA. Our genes are made of DNA and determine how things like what color hair and eye we’ll have. In 1962, they were awarded the Nobel Prize for this work. The discovery has helped doctors understand diseases and may someday prevent some illnesses like heart disease and cancer.
X-rays
Wilhelm Roentgen, a German physicist, discovered X-rays in 1895. X-rays go right through some substances, like flesh and wood, but are stopped by others, such as bones and lead. This allows them to be used to see broken bones or explosives inside suitcases, which makes them useful for doctors and security officers. For this discovery, Roentgen was awarded the first-ever Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901.
【1】What did Louis Pasteur contribute to the world?
A. He discovered bacteria.
B. His findings helped save lives.
C. He found ways to grow bacteria.
D. His discovery won a Nobel Prize.
【2】Which discovery was made by two scientists from different countries?
A. Micro-organism. B. Penicillin.
C. DNA. D. X-rays.
【3】Why is the discovery of X-rays important?
A. It can be used to see through bones and lead.
B. It can help us to know why we are different.
C. It is useful for doctor and security officers.
D. It is used to kill dangerous bacteria in our bodies.
【4】What is common among the discoveries above?
A. They can help to prevent certain diseases.
B. They are all related to medical fields.
C. They are awarded the Nobel Prize.
D. They are all made in Europe.
