green means young, fresh and growing. sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. for example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. in the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. a century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. by the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has todaya person who is new in a job.someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. the expression comes from early nineteen hundreds. a person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. you might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died. the green revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. the new plants produced much larger crops. the green revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒). the green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. it is an expression used about four hundred years ago by british writer william shakespeare in his play “othello”. it describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay rise and he does not.5. a greenhorn now refers to _.a. a cow without horns b. a new soliderc. a young horse d. a person who is new in a job6. a person who has a green thumb is a person

seven men, mostly in their 30s, are busy painting the walls with new designs in colorful lettering and clever tricks. tins of spray paint and beer stand on the ground. the atmosphere is not unlike that of a golf course: a mix of concentration and relaxation.graffiti(涂鸦)paintingistraditionallyadaring hobby. teenagers avoid security guards to put their names on trains and buses. but over the past decade that has almost disappeared from britains cities. between 2007 and 2017 the number of incidents of graffiti recorded by the british transport police fell by 63%. a survey by the environment ministry shows that fewer places are damaged by tags(绘名) than ever. graffiti are increasingly limited to only a few walls. in time the practice may die out entirely.the most obvious reason for the decline in tagging and train-painting is better policing, says keegan webb, who runs the london vandal, a graffiti blog (博客). numerous cameras mean it is harder to get away with painting illegally. and punishments are more severe. a generational change is apparent, too. now teenagers prefer to play with ipads and video games. those who do get involved tend to prefer street art to graffiti. and the internet helps painters win far more attention by posting pictures online than they can by breaking into a railway yard.taggers and graffiti artists mostly grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. those men are now older and less willing to take risks. we cant run away from the police any more, says ben eine, who turned from tagging to street art. the hip-hop culture that inspired graffiti in the first place has faded. video games and comic books provide more inspiration than music.graffiti may eventually disappear. but for now the hobby is almost respectable. mr eine says he has lots of friends who used to paint trains. now with wives and children, they paint abandoned houses at the weekend. it has become something to do on a sunday afternoona slightly healthier alternative to sitting watching the football.9. how do the painters feel while painting graffiti according to the first paragraph?a. free but stressed. b. free and focused.c. particular and respected. d. nervous but satisfied.10. why is graffiti painting traditionally considered as a daring hobby?a. its at the risk of being caught.b. it takes much hard training.c. its dangerous to paint in trains.d. it needs a great deal of knowledge.11. hat does the underlined word “decline” in the third paragraph refer to?.a. ban of government. b. reduction of graffiti.c. disappearance of graffiti. d. better policing of government.12. what conclusion can we draw from the fourth paragraph?a. the early graffiti had something to do with music.b. graffiti artists like to be the focuses in public.c. graffiti artists regret over what they did in the past.d. painting is much healthier than watching football.【答案】9. b 10. a 11. b 12. a【解析】本文是介绍了涂鸦的发展过程：起因，影响因素以及最后渐渐衰弱的过程及原因。9. 细节查询题。根据文章首段最后一句话 a mix of concentration and relaxation可知 他们在涂鸦时，感觉放松，精力集中，故选a10. 细节理解题。根据第二段teenagers avoid security guards to put their names on trains and buses. 可知青少年为了躲避保安人员，他们把名字涂在火车或者汽车上。故选b11. 词汇理解题。根据下文now teenagers prefer to play with ipads and video games. those who do get involved tend to prefer street art to graffiti.可知 现在大部分的青少年都玩ipad或者电脑游戏，由此可知涂鸦行为减少，故选a12. 推理判断题。根据本段最后两句话the hip-hop culture that inspired graffiti in the first place has faded. video games and comic books provide more inspiration than music.可知 hip hop起初影响涂鸦，后来电脑游戏和漫画书较之前的音乐对涂鸦的影响更大，所以，早期涂鸦与音乐有关，故选bddisposing(处理) of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. as more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult.during the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dumpsite. residents or trash haulers(垃圾托运者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. periodically(定期的) some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. the unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. the first problem is space. dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. property is either too expensive or too close to residential(住宅区的)neighborhoods. long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent.awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. the amount of waste, however, continues to grow.recycling efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part. even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a citys reusable waste.13. the most suitable title for this passage would be _.a. waste disposal problem b. waste pollution dangersc. ways of getting rid of waste d. places for disposing waste14. during the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many ways except for _.a. burying it b. burning itc. recycling it d. throwing it into rivers15. what can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?a. farm areas accept waste from the city in modern society.b. there is cheap land to bury waste in modem society.c. ways to deal with waste in modem society stay the same.d. it is difficult to find space to bury waste in modem society.【答案】13. a 14. c 15. c【解析】文章主要讨论垃圾处理的问题。13. a本题考查对于全文主旨大意的把握并要求我们据此选择最佳标题。文章主要讨论垃圾处理的问题(a项)，至于处理垃圾的地点(d项)、垃圾污染的危害(b项)和处理垃圾的方式(c项)都是垃圾处理问题的一个方面，不能以偏概全。根据句意可知选a。14. c细节理解题。recycle意为“循环利用”。对于垃圾的循环利用是最近才开始的一项技术，18世纪的时候是没有的。文章第二、三段明确提到其余三种垃圾处理方法。根据句意可知选c。15. c细节理解题。文章第四段提到landfills(垃圾掩埋法)和long-distance trash hauling(垃圾长途拖运)，可见现代社会人们所使用的垃圾处理方法还和以前一样。根据句意可知选c。【名师点睛】第二节根据短文内容，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。(选e涂，选f涂，选g涂）nail-biting(咬指甲) is one of the most common annoying habits in children. _16_ but you
