()a.the pesticide causes many deaths of bugs.b.people eat beans that are infected by bugs.c.farmers use chemicals to kill bugs improperly.d.bugs ruin beans within a short time.4.which statement of the following is not true? ()a.insects in the bags will soon use up the air and then die.b.the airtight plastic bags currently sold at the market do not last long.c.the project provides the farmers with the bags for free at present.d.what farmers can earn from the use of the bag is far more than they have to pay.语篇解读:虫害一直是农民的心头大患,这不仅危害农作物的生长,还浪费了许多粮食。最新的农业科技给人们带来了福音,那就是用密封袋来保护农作物以远离虫害。答案及剖析:1.a主旨大意题。由第一段(主题段)及全文内容可知,一种密封塑料袋在不使用任何化学药品的前提下,能够保护农民的收成不受虫害影响。故simple bags save the harvest最能概括全文的中心。2.d推理判断题。由第二段的第二、三、四句内容可知,bruchids是一种在粮食储藏过程中繁殖很快的昆虫,它们能够在几个星期内长成成虫,产下40到60个甚至更多的虫卵。d项中multiply有“增加;繁殖”之意。3.c细节理解题。由第三段的内容可知,农民们使用杀虫剂来杀虫,由于他们错用或过量使用,使粮食遭到污染,从而造成食用者死亡,故“杀手豆”来源于农民不正当地使用杀虫剂。4.b细节理解题。由倒数第二段的最后一句话.donor support for the project will not last forever可知,持续不长的是赞助商的支持,而不是塑料袋,故选b项。由倒数第二段.insects already in the cowpeas will die from lack of oxygen.可排除a项; 由倒数第二段的donors currently support the project.可知,目前密封塑料袋是免费由赞助商提供,故排除c项;由倒数第二段的the bags cost about two dollars each.get a better price for their crop可排除d项。【疑难词汇解读】1.storage n.储存;仓库the collection has been in storage for decades.这些收藏品已保管了几十年。2.mishandle v.处理不当;错误地处理mishandling the problem has caused great trouble.对这个问题处理不当已经引起了很大的麻烦。【长难句子分析】 he主语 says谓语 the storage bags are thick enough (that any insects宾语从句already in the cowpeas will die from lack of oxygen)状语从句.宾语从句 他说这种密封袋非常厚,任何已经进入牛豆中的虫子都会因缺少氧气而死亡。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d)中，选出最佳选项。【2014高考英语哈尔滨市第三中学一模】christmas, easter and birthday parties can be difficult times for grandmothers and parents as they rush around trying to arrange the perfect celebration or making everyone as happy as possible! whats better than a birthday party that makes your grandchild smile throughout or a celebration that impresses relatives and close friends?that is why granny look has supplied in this section, one of the most comprehensive guides to making these special occasions that happen perhaps once a year a real success.from a selection of advent calendars to party planning or christmas-stocking fillers we have all the possibilities covered so that your children and grandchildren will really have a memorable time with attractive gifts and original ideas.bring that festive spirit to all those traditional days, and ensure you are always ready for any possibility. granny looks extensive links are bound to make every special occasion an entirely different experience from the year before and allow everyone to feel entertained and content.christmas-stocking fillerslook no further! granny look helps the family to prepare in time for father christmas. give santaclaus some ideas. he can fill all the childrens christmas-stockings with goodies! unique christmas gifts for children stocking fillers.a granny look favorite!advent calendarsall children love the build-up to christmas! what is better than choosing one of granny looks selection of advent calendars! here you will find a list of websites to buy traditional or fun advent calendars for children at christmas time.a granny look favorite!birthdayslooking for a special birthday gift?

a. companies giving grammar tests may have no good business sense.b. grammar becomes unimportant as language is constantly changing.c. a “zero tolerance” approach to grammar errors might seem a little unfair. d. people who pay attention to writing may pay attention to other things.【参考答案】3235 aacd阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d)中，选出最佳选项。【2014高考英语福建省联考试卷】i feel it enormous responsibility, as a mother of two little girls, to lead you down a path that is relatively healthy when it comes to beauty and self-image. in a lot of womens eyes ive probably already failed in that respect due to the amount of pink princess barbie (芭比娃娃) mess cluttering up (堆满) veras room. but i will say something about barbie: i played with that stuff for a solid decade when i was growing up and here i am now at a healthy weight with a healthy outlook on my body and image. i have a successful career. if barbie was really so damaging to my femininity (女性气质) and self-image i highly doubt i could list all of the accomplishments.but i get it too. its hard for women to maintain a healthy self-image. i have girlfriends around whom i have to brace myself to see, because just being around them makes me self-conscious. i look at old pictures of my mother and wonder why ive never been able to be as skinny as she was. and then i have friends who are thinner than their mothers ever were. we women go round and round in circles, holding hands and trying to be one another sometimes. men like to think we dress and style ourselves for them, but why would we when they hardly notice? ive never tried so hard to look good when i know im about to meet up with a stylish girlfriend. its she who will notice my slimmed-down waist or the thinnest, little bracelet on my arm.and i have no doubt that the two of you, veronica and juliette, will endlessly compare yourselves to each other. you will wonder why one of you got longer legs or shinier hair. the thing ill tell you is this: not even the prettiest of us feel settled. the girl you think looks the most perfect in the world is probably the girl who wants to change herself more than anyone else.dont take these on. you are not worthless. you are so full of love and light and you should let it shine through your every second. if someone pushes you down for s
