His strange habit makes sense when you consider that hes an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Steins jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists dont dispute(质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.4. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A. Help increase grocery sales.B. Recycle the waste material.C. Stop things falling off trucks.D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.5. What does the word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Bans on plastic bags.B. Effects of city development.C. Headaches caused by garbage.D. Plastic bags hung in trees.6. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?A. They are quite expensive.B. Replacing them can be difficult.C. They are less strong than plastic bags.D. Producing them requires more energy.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Plastic, Paper or NeitherB. Industry, Pollution and EnvironmentC. Recycle or Throw AwayD. Garbage Collection and Waste Control【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. A【解析】文章分析了几种购物袋的使用情况，塑料袋会造成环境问题，纸袋尽管容易回收，但生产和运输需要更多的能源，环保主义者希望消费者使用耐用可重复使用的袋子。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段one of Steins jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.和第二段plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.可知，塑料袋生产商雇用Steven Stein是为了证明他们的产品并不像大多数人想象的那样对地球有害，是对塑料袋被禁用的解释和争论。故选D。【5题详解】词义猜测题。上文介绍在许多美国大城市塑料袋被禁用，看到这种现状，塑料袋生产商雇用Steven Stein等科学家是为了证明他们的产品并不像大多数人想象的那样对地球有害。headwinds意为“逆风”，此处指塑料袋被禁用的现状，即Bans on plastic bags，故选A。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make.可知，塑料袋生产商认为生产耐用且能重复使用的袋子需要更多的能源，故选D。【7题详解】标题归纳题。文章讲述了使用塑料袋会造成环境问题，纸袋容易回收，但生产和运输需要更多的能源，环保主义者希望消费者使用耐用可重复使用的袋子。对这三种方式进行了对比，Plastic, Paper or Neither既能概括全文，又能吸引读者，最适合作为标题。故选A。点睛：概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，要看懂全文的主要内容，明白了主要内容就能准确概括文章标题)。小题4要求概括标题，本文讲述了使用塑料袋造成的环境问题，纸袋容易回收，但生产和运输需要更多的能源，希望消费者使用耐用可重复使用的袋子。对这三种方式进行了对比，Plastic, Paper or Neither既能概括全文，又能吸引读者，适合作为标题。CMy First MarathonA month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didnt do either well. He later informed me that I was not athletic.The idea that I was not athletic stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about petition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldnt even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a marathon winner.8.

C 10. A 11. B【解析】本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了自己第一次跑马拉松，凭借自己的意志力成功跑完全程的励志故事。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句Yet, I was determined to go ahead.可知，马拉松赛前一个月尽管作者脚踝受伤使得训练时间缩短，但作者仍下定决心参赛。故选C。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段I didnt do either well. He later informed me that I was not athletic可知，作者提到7年级的事情是为了证明自己真的没有运动天赋。故选C。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第10段I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.可知，作者坚持到了最后，而且得到了一块奖牌，虽然不是第一名，由此可见他成功地跑完了马拉松。故选A。【11题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者在讲述自己跑马拉松的经历，再根据最后一段Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a marathon winner.可知，作者成功跑完马拉松源于自己的意志。故选B。点睛：文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持，这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要，同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。命题人往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章，以获得某些特定的信息，或准确地寻求所需的细节，并对细节进行直接或间接辨认和理解。文章细节的理解可以细化为：（1）一一对应型。（2）语言转述型。（3）语意理解型。（4）是非辨别型。（5）事实排序型。此题中的前三题为细节理解题。细节理解题首先要根据题干准确定位信息句，其次要对信息句进行准确的理解和判断，如第一题为转述型，I was determined to go ahead即made up his mind to run。第二题为语义理解题。根据文章第二段的信息In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didnt do either well.可知，作者没有运动天赋。而第三题则为转述型，根据信息句I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.可知，作者跑完了马拉松，正好与made it 意义相同。DAsias mountain glaciers (冰川) will lose at least a third of their mass through global warming by the centurys end, with serious consequences for millions of people who rely on them for fresh water, researchers have said. The high mountains of Asia consist of a geographical region surrounding the Tibetan Plateau, holding the biggest store of frozen water outside the poles. It feeds many of the worlds great rivers, including the Ganges, the Indus and the Yarlung Zangbo River, on which hundreds of millions of people depend.Nearly 200 nations adopted the Paris Agreement in xx, which sets the goal of limiting warming to a level of “well below” 2C, while “pursuing efforts” to achieve a lower ceiling of 1.5C. Earths surface has already warmed by about 1C, according to scientists.The Asian high mountains, the new study said, were already warming more rapidly than the global average. A global temperature rise of 1.5C would mean an average increase in the region of about 2.1C, with differences between mountain ranges - all of which will warm by more than 1.5C. The Hindu Kush mountain range would warm by about 2.3C and the eastern Himalaya Mountains by 1.9C, the study forecast.“Even if temperatures stabilize at their current level, (glacier) mass loss will continue for decades to e,” the researchers added. “For the high mountain glaciers to survive, it is vital to reduce the global temperature increase to the lowest possible level.”A study in July in the journal Nature Climate Change said there was only a 5% chance of holding global warming under 2C. For 1.5C, the chance was about 1%. On current trends, some experts project Earth is on track to warm by about 3C.12. What is stressed about Asias mountain glaciers in the first paragraph?A. The reason for its melting.B. Its importance.C. Its geographical condition.D. The consequences caused by its decrease.13. What do we know about the temperature on the earths surface?A. It keeps up its normal level.B. It has risen too much since the Paris Agreement was made.C. It is far below the level that the Paris Agreement demands.D. It is near the lower ceiling that the Paris Agreement demands.14. How may we guarantee these glaciers, continued existence, according to researchers?A. Hold global warming under 2C.B. Try to save water as much as we can.C. Keep global temperature increase to a minimum.D. Make the global temperature stable at its current level.15. How does the author develop the passage?A. Giving examples. B. Describing.C. Presenting data. D. paring.【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. C【解析】本文属于应用文。据英媒报道，到本世纪末，亚洲山区的冰川将因全球变暖而流失至少1/3，这将给数百万依赖冰川获得清洁水源的民众带来可怕后果。研究人员称，若全球温度上升高于1.5摄氏度，亚洲冰川在本世纪末可能还会流失更多。【12题详解】主旨大意题。第一段内容：研究人员称，到本世纪末，亚洲山区的冰川将因全球变暖而流失至少1/3，这将给数百万依赖冰川获得清洁水源的民众带来可怕后果。这片冰川灌溉了世界上许多伟大河流，包括养育了数亿人的恒河、印度河和以及雅鲁藏布江。由此可知这片冰川的重要性。分析选可知B项正确。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段内容：巴黎协议设定的目标是将升温幅度限制在2摄氏度以下，并为把升温控制在1.5摄氏度之内而努力。据科学家称，地球表面温度已经上升1摄氏度左右。由此可判断，现在地球表面的温度（1摄氏度左右）低于巴黎协议规定的2摄氏度以下.分析选项可知D项正确。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句the researchers added. “For the high mountain glaciers to survive, it is vital to reduce the global temperature increase to the lowest possible level.” 可知，为让高山冰川继续存在，“就必须将全球气温升高的幅度降到最低”。分析选项可知C项符合题意，故选C项。【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要以具体的数据来展开本文的。如“a third of their mass.limit average global warming to 1.5C over pre-industrial levels, With warming of 3.5C, 4C and 6CAsian glacier losses could amount to 49%, 51% or 65%. achieve a lower ceiling of 1.5C. would warm by about 2.3CA study in July in the journal Nature Climate Change said there was only a 5% chance of holding global warming under 2C. For 1.5C, the odds were about 1%.”等，由此可知本文以数据展开全文的，分析选项可知C项（提供数据）符合题意。第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。You are one of the most familiar faces in class, not because you are funny or have great note-taking abilities but because you ask the most number of questions._16_ It is important to have a good way to ask questions.
