【解析】
这是一篇说明文。一个充满热情、意志坚定、准备迎接生活磨难的人,是我们都想成为的人。如果你想成为那样的人,那么你的第一步就是永远保持灵感。文章告诉我们需要保持灵感的四个原因。
【1】
结合后文He/She is a person who wakes up every day more inspired than the next. Inspiration will lead you anywhere you want to go.可知他/她是一个每天醒来都比第二天更有灵感的人。灵感会带你去任何你想去的地方。由此可知,本句是在引出后文一个有灵感的人是不会在挑战面前退缩的人。故G选项“一个有灵感的人是不会在挑战面前退缩的人”符合上下文语境,故选G。
【2】
本句为第一段最后一句,有启示下文的作用,结合后文主要说明了需要保持灵感的四个原因,故F选项“以下是你应该一直保持灵感的另外四个原因”符合上下文语境,故选F。
【3】
根据后文I’ll give you some names of people who have changed the path of history and I’ll let you determine if they were inspired. Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, Mother Theresa.可知我会给你们一些改变历史道路的人的名字,让你们确定他们是否受到了启发。Albert Einstein,Steve Jobs, Theresa修女。由此可知,后文列举了有灵感改变了世界的人,那么本句应当是在引出下文,指出缺乏灵感的人很少能改变世界。故A选项“缺乏灵感的人很少能改变世界”符合上下文语境,故选A。
【4】
根据本段内容Mark Zuckerberg was inspired by the potential of a great social network. Four English musicians were inspired to create great music thereby creating the Beatles. Socrates was inspired by his own curiosity and ended up creating Western Philosophy as we know it today.可知Mark Zuckerberg被一个伟大的社交网络的潜力所启发。四位英国音乐家受到启发创作了伟大的音乐,从而创造了Beatles乐队。Socrates受到自己好奇心的启发,最终创立了我们今天所知的西方哲学。由此可知,后文这些著名人物的例子说明:灵感是一切伟大成就的必要因素,没有灵感就不会有伟大的成就。故D选项“没有灵感就不会有伟大的成就”符合上下文语境,故选D。
【5】
根据小标题Inspiration and genius—one and the same.(灵感和天才是一体)以及后文In fact, many who we consider geniuses today were nothing more than extremely inspired individuals.可知事实上,许多我们今天认为是天才的人只不过是极具灵感的个人。由此可知,本句是在说明天才不必非的是智商非常高的人。故E选项“你不必智商达到150才被认为是天才”符合上下文语境,故选E。

【题目】 Something’s happening at the lowest point on our planet.
The Dead Sea, a salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel and Palestine to the west, is shrinking at an alarming rate - about 3. 3 feet per year, according to the environmentalist group Eco Peace Middle East. And human actions are largely to blame.
"It's not just like one country is punishing the Dead Sea: it's more like the whole area,” said photographer Moritz Kustner, who visited the area in February to work on his series "The Dying Dead Sea”.
The Dead Sea needs water from the other natural sources surrounding it, such as the Jordan River basin. But around the 1960s, some of the water sources it relied upon were diverted. Israel, for instance, built a pipeline during that time so it could supply water throughout the country.
Mineral extraction industries are another main reason the water levels are falling, experts say. The Dead Sea's minerals have been used as medicine and can often be found in cosmetics and other consumer products.
And then, of course, there's the Middle East's hot, dry climate, which makes it difficult for the lake to replenish itself. Last year, Israel and Jordan signed a $900 million deal in an effort to keep the Dead Sea's water levels stable. It includes building a canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea which would be able to not only supply water to Israel and Jordan but also to pump water into the Dead Sea.
But for now, Kustner shows us that the Dead Sea remains very much a place of interest, with people from all over the world going there to swim in its salty waters
The Dead Sea, known as the Salt Sea in the language of Hebrew, is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. And because of what has been happening over the years, the salt is only getting saltier.
【1】How many reasons for the Dead Seas shrinking does the author mention in the text?
A.OneB.Two
C.ThreeD.Four
【2】What can we learn about the Dead Sea 's minerals?
A.They have practical value.
B.They are controlled by Israel.
C.They can be extracted very easily.
D.They are mainly used in heavy industry.
【3】What does the underlined word "replenish” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.To clean something.B.To improve something.
C.To fill something again.D.To find something again.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.What we should do to save the Dead Sea.B.More people travel to the Dead Sea.
C.Why the Dead Sea is salty.D.The Dead Sea is drying out.

【题目】 People who are at your age, like your classmates, are called peers (同龄人). When they try to influence how you act or to get you to do something, it's called peer pressure.【1】
Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in or because they worry that other kids might make fun of them if they don't go along with the group.【2】The idea that everyone's doing it can influence some kids to leave their better judgment or their common sense behind.

It can really help to have at least one other peer or friend who is willing to say 'no' too.【4】It's great to have friends with values similar to yours. If you choose friends who don't use drugs, smoke cigarettes or lie to their parents, then you probably won't do these things either, even if other kids do.

【题目】 Chef Jeremy Pang and a team of helpers are on a task to help feed London’s homeless and those facing food shortage in London. Pang and about 180 volunteers wore aprons and sharpened their cooking skills to make 4,000 dumplings, 700 noodle stir-fries, and 700 liters of curry in just four hours on a cold morning in Borough Market.
Now in its third year, the aim of the event, which is called Wok for 1,000, is to raise awareness of food waste and food shortage throughout the United Kingdom. Pang, who founded School of Wok in London’s Covent Garden,led a team of experienced chefs in teaching volunteers how to cook the dishes. The hot meals were then packed up and loaded into trucks so they could be distributed to those in need.
The event was part of Pang’s work to support the charity (慈善组织) Plan Zheroes, which aims to help connect food businesses with charities in order to redistribute surplus (过剩的) food and support measures to help prevent food waste. “1,300 meals get distributed to around 10 charities across London who are fighting food shortage,” Pang said. “The idea is that with ‘small steps for big changes’, an event like this can show people that one person can easily cook for 10 people and feed a lot of people in need.”
The food materials used at the event were donated by School of Wok^ suppliers as well as from stallholders (摊主) in Borough Market.
“As soon as we met Plan Zheroes, it was clear to me that it was a charity we wanted to raise money for,” said Pang. “So, not only are we creating thousands of meals but, at the same time, we are raising around 5,000 to 6,000 pounds for a very small charity doing a huge job.’’
【1】Why did Jeremy Pang hold the event Wok for 1,000?
A.To improve Pang’s food businesses.
B.To win a good reputation for himself.
C.To show his kindness to homeless people.
D.To raise people’s awareness of food problems.
【2】What can we know about the event Wok for 1,000?
A.It has been carried out for three years.
B.It is held in London’s Covent Garden.
C.It directly distributes meals to the homeless.
D.It is part of the charity Plan Zheroes’s activity.
【3】Where did the food materials used at the event come from?
A.They were offered by volunteer chefs.
B.They were donated by generous people.
C.They were provided by some charities.
D.They were bought from suppliers.
【4】What’s the best title of the text?
