The groups founder, Boyan Slat, an inventor born in 1994, was just 16 when he was moved to clean up the oceans when he was on a dive and saw more plastic bags than fishLast Saturday, a ship pulling the pipe-shaped floating barrier left San Francisco. Attached to it is a screening skirt that hangs three meters down in the water. The screen is designed to collect the plastic as it moves through the water. Sea animals can safely swim under the barrierThe cleanup system also comes with lights powered by the sun, cameras, and other special devices, so the system can communicate its position at all times. That way a support ship can find it every few months to remove the plastic that has been collected.Shipping containers will hold all the plastic gathered , including bottles and fishing equipment and are expected to be back on land within a year. Then the plastic will be recycled. The free-floating barriers are made to survive extreme weather conditions and damage from continual use. They will stay in the water for twenty years , thus collecting 90% ofthe garbage in the area.The Ocean Cleanup has received $ 35 million in donations to pay for the project, hoping to put 60 free-floating barriers in the Pacific Ocean by 2020. Its important to turn off the taps on plastic entering the ocean, but I also think people can do more than one thing at a time to deal with this problem, Slat said.8. What drove Slat to invent the collector?A. The interest in inventionB. His failure to dive due to rubbish.C. The sight oftoo many plastic bagsD. His knowledge ofgarbage in the Pacific Ocean9. How does the floating barrier work?A. It reaches into the water to collect the plasticB. It has large containers to produce powerC. It forms barriers to protect sea animalsD. A ship drags it along in the ocean.10. Which does the underlined word it in paragraph 4 refer to?A. The support ship.B. The floating barrierC. The plastic to be recycled.D. The position of special devices.11. What is important for protecting the ocean according to Slat?A. Sending more collectors into the oceanB. Inventing more ocean cleanup devicesC. Stopping plastic from entering the oceanD. Banning the use ofplastic bags in boats【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C【解析】本文属于新闻，介绍一个青少年创造了海洋垃圾收集器及相关信息。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据题干的发明这个垃圾收集器，答案定位在第二段。该段说 The groups founder, Boyan Slat when he was on a dive and saw more plastic bags than fish,由此可知，这促使他决定清洁海洋,因此选C。【9题详解】细节理解题。第三段说 Attached to it is a screening skirt that hangs three meters down in the water through the water，这种垃圾收集器的下面部分是一个屏障，能够延伸到水下三米的地方，并且在水中移动的同时收集塑料，因此选A。【10题详解】词义猜测题。从画线词所在的语境看,这里的it指前面提到的清洁系统,也就是悬浮屏障，因此选B。【11题详解】推理判断题。最后一段提到Slat说的话”Its important to turn off the taps on plastic entering the ocean, but I also think people can do more than one thing at a time to deal with this problem ,即他认为重要的是关掉塑料进人海洋的龙头，由此推断他认为关键是不让塑料进入海洋，故选C。DWhen people find themselves in difficult conflicts, they often turn to mediation(调解). Mediator are advised to listen attentively, avoid favoring the ideas of one party, and make both sides feel at ease. Surprisingly, new research that my colleagues and I conducted shows that, to effectively help people settle their conflicts, mediators should adopt a hostile(敌对的 ) attitude rather- than a calming one. A hostile mediator, we find, brings better results than a nice oneWhy would adding more negativity to an already hostile situation prove beneficial? Consider how parents typically react when they cant get their children to stop quarreling: I dont care who started it, both of you, go to your rooms! At first sight, a calm mediator seems likely to be more effective. But as anyone with brothers or sisters knows, parents seemingly unsympathetic treatment ofthe situation can have an unusual effect,In our research, we created situations in which pairs ofnegotiators were part ofa heated conflict.In some cases, the mediator had a nice approach-calm and polite. In others, he was hostile-aggressive and somewhat rude. Across different types of conflicts, we found that negotiators were more willing and able to reach an agreement in the presence of a hostile mediator than in the presence of a nice one.The main result ofthe test is not that hostility pays off. In fact, recent research has documented the social costs of negative behavior. For example, being the target ofrude behavior reduces peoples performance on a variety oftasks. Other research shows the social benefits ofpositive behavior.People are more likely to close deals and become future business partners.Even with the widespread social benefits ofpositive behavior and costs ofnegative behavior, hostility can pay offin certain situations.12. What is the parents settlement ofconflicts in paragraph 2?A. Its calming and wiseB. Its arbitrary but effective.C. Its commonly adopted.D. It harms family relationship13. How does the author support his viewpoints?A. By giving examples and experimenting.B. By analyzing causes and effects.C. By presenting facts.D. By making comparison/14. Which best describes the authors attitude in the text?A. Concerned.B. Doubtful.C. ObjectiveD. Positive.15. What could be the title ofthe text?A. The Significance of Effective MediationB. The Costs ofNegative BehaviorC. The Benefits ofPositive BehaviorD. The Surprising Power of Hostility【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。当人们发现自己陷入困难的冲突时，他们往往求助于调解。建议调解员认真听取意见，避免偏袒一方的意见，使双方感到放心。即使积极行为有广泛的社会效益和消极行为的代价，敌意也能在某些情况下得到回报。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的 I dont care who started it both of you, go to your rooms parents seemingly unsympathetic treatment of the situation can have an unusual effect. Children become more reasonable due to their unkind parents 可知,第二段中提到的父母的方法虽然有些武断，但是对孩子之间矛盾的解决很有效，故选B。【13题详解】推理判断题题。根据第二段中的 Consider how parents typically react when they cant get their children to stop quarreling和第三段中对所做实验的介绍可知,作者通过提供例子和做实验来证明观点，故选A。【14题详解】推理判断题。文中作者在第二、三段讨论了调解者采取敌对态度的这种消极行为的作用和力量，同时在第四段也指出了积极行为的好处以及消极行为的代价。所以作者的态度是客观的, 故选C。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段中的 A hostile mediator, we find, brings better results than a nice one ,第二段中的”Why would adding more negativity(消极性) to an already hostile situation prove beneficial ，第三段中的we found that negotiators a hostile mediator than in the presence of a nice one以及最后一段中的 hostility can pay off in certain situations可知，作者主要介绍调解者采取的敌对态度的出乎意料的力量，所以The Surprising Power of Hostility 作文章的标题最佳, 故选D。【点睛】主旨大意题的做题技巧。1) 主旨大意题属于归纳概括题。如有标题，标题中蕴含的信息往往是关键信息。2) 找准文章的主题句是关键。“主题句定位法”是一种行之有效的方法。在答题时，我们可以：读首句抓大意；读尾句抓大意；读首尾段抓大意。3.) 无明显主题句时高频信息词，任一篇文章都是围绕某个主题展开的，因此，有的文章中最明显的特点之一是有一个反复出现的中心词，即高频词，也叫做主题词。抓住了它，便容易抓住文章的中心。比如小题4，根据第一段中的 A hostile mediator, we find, brings better results than a nice one ,第二段中的”Why would adding more negativity(消极性) to an already hostile situation prove beneficial ，第三段中的we found that negotiators a hostile mediator than in the presence of a nice one以及最后一段中的 hostility can pay off in certain situations可知，作者主要介绍调解者采取的敌对态度的出乎意料的力量，所以The Surprising Power of Hostility 作文章的标题最佳, 故选D。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A Housewarming PartyA housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house.
