in your work.”可知，作者通过给人割草坪学到了“工作”上的道德，所以此处要用work。2.c。根据第三段第一句中的“our neighbors yard”可以得知，作者是在“院子”里割草坪，所以选yards。3.a。从文章第三段中的“i was paid for cutting grass”可知，作者给邻居割草坪能够得到报酬，因此推断作者是想赚点零花钱，所以此处要用pocket change。4.d。从空后面“why he came with us”和下句中的“he could have been inside”可知，作者想知道(wonder)父亲为什么要跟着他们。5c。从第一段最后一句的“during the summer”和下面的“with air conditioning”可知，此时的天气很热，因此要用hot。6.b。从第二段第一句的“every time we went to mow lawns”可知，此处表示作者是替邻居“割”草坪，所以此处要用cutting。7.d。从后面的“until the grass was kneehigh to call us over”可知，那位女士一直“等”(waited)草齐膝高了才叫作者过去割。8d。根据第四段第三句中的“so worn out”可知，作者感觉很累(tired)。9.c。从前一句中的“i was finishing up”可知，作者完成了割草，因此要“关上”割草机，所以此处要用turn off。10c。从空处所在段最后一句中的“you missed a piece”和下一段第三句的“back to cut that piece of grass”可知，作者的父亲指的是“草”，所以此处要用grass。11.d。从第7空后面的“was kneehigh to call us over”可知，草长得很高，所以此处要用high。12a。从下面的“and kept walking”可知，作者“不理睬”父亲，所以此处要用ignored。13c。 结合后面的“so worn out and discouraged”和“i mumbled(咕哝)”可知，作者不愿再去管那片草，所以“希望”(hoping)父亲回家。14b。从后面的“i went back to cut that piece of grass”可知，作者回去了，据此可以推断父亲一直“指”(pointing)向那块草坪。15a。从后面的“why wont he just let it go？”可知，作者感觉那些草也不伤人，没有必要再去割，所以此处要用hurting。16.c。从下面的“we started out with one.had five.”可知，作者的工作被其他邻居“注意”到了，所以此处要用take notice of。17.c。从下面的“but by the end of the summer we had five”可知，作者得到了“更多的”工作，所以此处要用more。18b。从后面作者得到的启发来看，父亲要求作者在做工作的时候要“职业”些，不要马马虎虎，所以此处要用professional。19c。从后面的“it shows how sincere you are”可知，此处表示一定要遵守诺言，所以要用keep your word。20.b。给顾客你自己想要的那种服务，所以此处要用receive。记叙文【2014届西藏自治区高三最后一次模拟统一考试】阅读下面短文，从短文后面各题所给的四个选项(a、 b、c 和 d)中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 an old woman had

increasingly more aware of the wider world beyond home, school and their neighborhood. if you havent already done so, this can be an excellent time to teach your child about the environment, and how you can work together to go green as a family. if youve already introduced some eco-friendly habits in your home, here are some ways your growing child can contribute more to the greening of his world and beyond. my 7-year-old son discovered a magazine cover on the table that featured a cover line about polar bears being endangered because of global warming. i decided to be straight with himi said yes, there is a danger to polar bears and other wildlife because of pollution. but i told him that we can all do something to go green and help make a difference, and perhaps help the polar bears and all living things on our planet. my grandmothers were immigrants(移民)who lived through wars in south korea. they used to constantly remind me to turn off the lights, and even not to use too much toilet paper. as it turns out, these were great lessons. have your child get into the habit of turning off lights and electronic equipment when hes not using them. a nice bonus(意外收获): reducing electricity use can help cut down your bills. a grade-schooler is old enough to understand that water comes from lakes and pools. explain that wasting it can affect everyone who depends on that water. wasting water also means wasting energy. a tap that runs for five minutes is equal to letting a 60-watt bulb run for 14 hours, according to the environmental protection agency. make it easier for your grade-schooler to go green by choosing different baskets for glass, metal, paper, and plastic. have your child draw pictures of recyclable types to mark each basket. once a season or more, have your child help you look for used clothing, books, toys and other things around the house to give away to local shelters(避难所). 【文章大意】本文作者以自己的亲身经历告诉其他母亲应该如何在生活中帮助孩子变得更有环保意识, 让他们从小就有保护环境的观念。1. the underlined word“contribute”in paragraph 1 means. a. buyb. usec. gived. find【解析】选c。词义猜测题。由于本句里的introduced说明如果你已经介绍给孩子一些环保习惯了, 而且在接下来的三个段落中作者本人又给出一些关于绿色生活的建议。所以这里的contribute的意思是“给出”。2. what makes polar bears in danger according to the passage? a. the global warming at present and in future. b. the pollution of the air in developed countries. c. the loss of the forest all over the world at present. d. the hunt for them by people from across the world. 【解析】选a。细节理解题。第二段第一句里的being endangered because of global warming是本题的解题线索。需注意的是b选项, 虽然第二段说到了污染危及一些野生动物的生存, 但并不是针对空气污染而言, 所以不能选b。3. what does the author learn from her grandmothers? a. make peace with any other country. b. not moving to other foreign countries. c. turn off the lights and the water to go green. d. live a simple life without spending too much. 【解析】选c。推理判断题。第三段作者提到了自己的祖母和外祖母经历过战争后尤其重视节省, 本段的第二句话是解题线索, 第三、四句是作者的体会和经验, 第五句开始给出了自己也身体力行的理由, 所以答案选c。但是注意d项虽然不错, 但是和第二句作者的祖母和外祖母的要求相比, 没有确切说明为了环保而做的具体措施, 所以不能选。4. what is the best title of the passage? a. ways to help your child make money. b. ways to help your child go green. c. setting up a recycling centre for your house. d. setting up eco-friendly habits is necessary. 【解析】选b。主旨大意题。首先要明确这篇文章的作者是一个母亲, 她在以自己的经历告诉别的母亲应该帮助自己的孩子更环保, 所以选项里的关键词是child和green。【技法导练】多学一点棋高一着阅读理解“圈点信息”的细节理解题细节理解, 就是在原文中能找到的信息, 可以采用“圈点信息”法, 把涉及的信息“圈点”出来, 以便分析利用。做细节理解题时, 可使用如下方法: 1. 细心审题, 带问题“圈”答案。先从问题中抓住关键性词语(题眼), 然后以此为线索, 运用略读及跳读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与此问题相关的段落、语句, 仔细品味, 对照比较, 确定答案。2. 变通理解, 间接转述“圈”答案。高考设题常对原句细微处进行改动, 选取原文词语或结构进行改造, 因果倒置, 把a的观点说成b的观点等。所以正确理解题干和信息句的意义是关键。3. 多点归纳, 综合事实“圈”答案。全面捕捉相关信息, 进行综合分析、归纳, 切忌根据“一面之词”草率地得出结论。上篇文章中的第2题为细节理解题。审题发现此题要求寻找_, 这样带着这个问题去原文中“圈点信息”就可以发现“_”为原因, 由此可以找到答案。答案: 造成北极熊濒临危险的原因 全球变暖 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a、b、c和d项中，选出最佳选项。 when 7-year-old warren buffett said,“i will be the richest man one day,” his friends made fun of his “daydreaming”. but ever since then the little boy has set about learning how to make money by selling drinks, delivering newspapers and buying stocks. the american had already earned $9,000 (equal to $90,000 today) by the time he graduated from high school. and this month the 78-year-old man, who earned his fortune by making a lot of sound investment in the stock market, took the place of microsoft founder, bill gates, as the worlds richest man. gates worth declined $1.5 billion to $55.5 billion in 33 days after the recent financial storm, according to forbes magazine. buffett, the only son of a stockbroker, was ready to think outside the box to develop his business from a very early age. at 8, he went to golf courses collecting and selling the used balls. at 11 when he sold soda pop door-to-door with a friend, the pair collected lids on streets to judge which flavor was the most popular. as a paper boy during high school, buffett delivered two competitor papers, so that even when customers canceled one of the subscriptions, he could still make a profit from the other. with his paper delivery savings, buffett bought 162,000 square meters of farmland and collected rent. young buffett stepped into the stock market at 11 but earned only $5. the experience taught him one of the virtues in investing, patience. after graduating from university, buffett started his venture with stocks with his childhood earnings and money from friends. he researched the stocks and just bought those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time. by sticking to companies such as american express and coca-cola, buffett has become rich. “learning is important to buffetts success. he is a learning machine who can spend his entire day reading. he keeps learning from books, street smarts and investigation, from both success and failure. in this way, he over-achieved his aptitude (能力).” said charlie munger, his longtime
