【题目】 The Pacific nation of Palau will soon ban many types of sunscreen in an effort to protect its coral reefs.

President Tommy Remengesau Jr, signed legislation (法令) recently that bans “reef toxic” (对珊瑚有毒) sunscreen beginning in 2020. The law defines reef toxic sunscreen as containing any one of 10 chemicals, including oxybenzone. Other chemicals may also be banned.

Officials will take banned sunscreens from visitors who carry them into the country, Businesses that sell the banned products will be fined up to $1,000.

In a statement, Remengesau said that the punishments find the right balance between “educating tourists and scaring them away.”

The law also requires tour operators to start providing customers with reusable cups, drinking straws and food containers.

The president said the legislation was introduced based on information from a 2017 report. The report found that sunscreen products were widespread in Palau’s famous Jelly fish Lake. The lake was closed for more than a year because of a decrease in jellyfish numbers. It was recently reopened.

The president also noted that plastic waste, chemical pollution, and climate change all threaten the country’s environmental health.

Scientists have found that some chemicals in sunscreen can be toxic to coral reefs. The reels are an important part of the ocean environment and popular with tourists, But some critics say there are not enough independent scientific studies on the issue. Others worry that people will suffer from too much sun contact if they stop using the products.

Some manufacturers have already started selling “reef-friendly” sunscreen.

这是一篇说明文。太平洋岛国帕劳将很快禁止使用多种防晒霜，以保护其珊瑚礁。官员将从携带被禁产品入境的游客手中拿走被禁产品，销售被禁产品的商家将被处以最高1000美元的罚款。同时介绍了这项立法的一些情况以及近些年防晒霜对帕劳环境产生的影响。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段The Pacific nation of Palau will soon ban many types of sunscreen in an effort to protect its coral reefs.（太平洋岛国帕劳将很快禁止使用多种防晒霜，以保护其珊瑚礁。）可知帕劳的新立法是出于保护环境发出的。故选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据第三段Officials will take banned sunscreens from visitors who carry them into the country, Businesses that sell the banned products will be fined up to $1,000.（官员将从携带被禁产品入境的游客手中拿走被禁产品，销售被禁产品的商家将被处以最高1000美元的罚款。）可知2020年后，携带禁用防晒霜进入帕劳的游客，他们的防晒霜将被没收。故选B。

【3】细节理解题。倒数第二段Some manufacturers have already started selling “reef-friendly” sunscreen.（一些制造商已经开始销售“对珊瑚礁无害”的防晒霜。）可知帕劳正在出售“对珊瑚礁无害”的防晒霜。故选D。

【4】主旨大意题。根据第一段The Pacific nation of Palau will soon ban many types of sunscreen in an effort to protect its coral reefs.（太平洋岛国帕劳将很快禁止使用多种防晒霜，以保护其珊瑚礁。）以及文章主要内容围绕为了保护珊瑚礁，帕劳将禁止使用防晒霜展开。故选C。

主旨大意题的做题技巧。

1) 主旨大意题属于归纳概括题。如有标题，标题中蕴含的信息往往是关键信息。

2) 找准文章的主题句是关键。“主题句定位法”是一种行之有效的方法。在答题时，我们可以：读首句抓大意；读尾句抓大意；读首尾段抓大意。

3.) 无明显主题句时高频信息词，任一篇文章都是围绕某个主题展开的，因此，有的文章中最明显的特点之一是有一个反复出现的中心词，即高频词，也叫做主题词。抓住了它，便容易抓住文章的中心。

如第四题，根据第一段The Pacific nation of Palau will soon ban many types of sunscreen in an effort to protect its coral reefs.（太平洋岛国帕劳将很快禁止使用多种防晒霜，以保护其珊瑚礁。）以及文章主要内容围绕为了保护珊瑚礁，帕劳将禁止使用防晒霜展开。故选C。

【题目】The world is filled with smart ，educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago ，my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic fixed it in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine sound. I was amazed. The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.

I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100，000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant （顾问）who gave me the phrase ，“They are one skill away from great wealth.”

There is an old saying that goes，“JOB means ‘Just Over Broke（破产）”. And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because schools do not think financial intelligence is intelligence，most workers “live within their means”. They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend that young people seek work for what they will learn ，more than what they will earn.

When I ask the classes I teach ，“How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's ？ ” almost all the students raise their hands.I then ask ，“So if most of you can cook a better hamburger ，how come McDonald's makes more money than you？” The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems.The world is filled with talented poor people.They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than t he skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.

【1】The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that .

A. he is just one of the talented people B. he is ready to help others

C. he has a sharp sense of hearing D. he knows little about car repairing

【2】The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by“ ”.

A. spend more than they can afford B. do in their own way

C. live in their own circle D. live within what they earn

【3】Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?

A. They don't work hard enough. B. They lack financial intelligence. C. They don't make full use of their talents. D. They have no specialized skills.

【4】The main purpose of the author is to tell us .

A. how young people can find a satisfactory job

B. what schools should teach about finance

C. why so many talented people are poor

D. how McDonald's makes much money

【题目】 Being highly successful in any field is pretty rare. It takes a combination of natural talent, luck, determination, and plenty of outside support for someone to make it big in sports, entertainment, or business. But what if competing is all that matters to you, whether you are likely to succeed or not? This was the goal of Michael Eddie the Eagle Edwards, and that he reached that goal was an amazing achievement.

Born in the U.K. in 1963, Michael was an enthusiastic downhill skier whose dream was to compete for Britain in world-class competitions. He would have liked to represent his country in the 1984 Winter Olympics, but there were a large number of downhill competitors, and Edwards didn't qualify. Seeing his chance elsewhere, he switched to ski jumping. Ski jumping didn't cost nearly as much, and there was almost no competition for a place on the Britain team.

But number of hurdles (障碍)could have meant the end of Edwards' dream. He weighed more than most competitors, which put him at a disadvantage. He had no financial support for his training. Poor eyesight meant that he had to wear glasses under his goggles (护目镜)- not a good thing when they steamed up at high altitudes. But he couldn't let any of this discourage him. He saw himself as a true lover of the sport who simply wanted the chance to compete. Winning wasn't the point. Having the opportunity to try was all he cared about. And nothing could stop him from trying.

In the end, Edwards took 55th place in the 1987 World Championships. He then went on to the Calgary Olympics in 1988, where he finished last in both of his events. Many athletes would have been embarrassed by this result, but he is proud of his achievement to this day. His determination to fight against all the odds made him a global hero, and in 2016, the inspiring film Eddie the Eagle was made about his life.

【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A. To add some background information.

B. To uncover the secret of success.

C. To expect an answer from readers.

D. To introduce the topic.

【2】Why did Michael Edwards choose ski jumping?

A. It took less skill.

B. The equipment was cheaper.

C. There was little competition.

D. It was easy to win the championship.

【3】After the Calgary Olympics, Edwards _________.

A. felt he had reached his goal

B. was embarrassed by his results

C. switched to film making

D. was glad it was over

【4】What made Michael Edwards outstanding?

A. His determination to win.

B. His enthusiasm for the sport.

C. His attitude towards the Olympics.

D. His ability to overcome physical disabilities.

【题目】 A DREAM, for me, is like a torch to light up my insipid （平淡的）life and a pair of wings to fly me into the sky. The uncertainty of my future and the heavy burden of schoolwork had driven me into a negative situation and not until I had a dream did I get out there. I decided to become a hostess.

It was last summer. I went to Jinan, which is famous for its natural springs, and started to learn broadcast hosting. However, I found that it was not easy.

The weather was bad. It was too hot to stay calm, which made me homesick. I called-my parents at least five times a day. But as I tried my best to adapt to the weather and living conditions there, I became more independent.

Another thing bothered me, too. My teacher criticized all my mistakes. Grievance （委屈）and exhaustion often reduced me to tears and sweat flowed down my checks. To get her recognition, I practiced my voice skills in a park every day, even on rainy days. You can't imagine how happy I was when she praised me for the first time.

My dream enabled me to change a lot. Without my dream, I wouldn't have had the courage and the confidence to host the New Year party at our school. On stage, I knew that it was a good beginning to my hosting dream.

I took the arts examination in the winter. To my delight, I did well. And I was more than excited when I received the offers from Shandong Normal University, Yunnan Normal University and Yunnan Art Institute.

My dream has powered so much energy in me that my life has become colorful every day. So, however hard it will be to stick to my dream, no way will I give it up!

A. By calling her parents often.B. By practicing her voice in a park every day.

A. Her courage and the confidence to host the party.

B. Her getting the teacher's praise for the first time.

C. Her becoming more independent.

D. Her doing well in the arts examination.
