A constant worry that has stayed in the back of my mind since the birth of my eldest son, some sixteen years ago.Through the years, I have witnessed the worlds reaction to my son evolve as he has grown from a small boy to a young man.In his early years, his easy smile and lovable character were nothing less than magnetic (有磁性的)Complete strangers would approach him in the street, draw him into conversation, and find themselves easily struck by his lively spirit.Even at that time I worried, how would my son react when in the years to come some of those who found themselves so impressed by this cute, intelligent boy, might grasp_their_purse_tighter as he walked by.Over the years I have sought to protect his spirit from the hurt that comes from undeserved hatred.I have also sought to arm him with the knowledge that could one day save his life.He knows, for example, that if he is ever pulled over by the police, that he is to keep_both_hands_on_the_wheel_at_all_times and only reach for his license when the officer is specifically observing his actions.He knows, even in less threatening situations, that rough play and loud interactions with his buddies of any color will be viewed very differently when he does it, than when his white friends display the very same behavior.Still, the truth of the matter is, no amount of advice or voiceless behavior overcomes the physical, immovable fact of the color of his skin.His intelligence, easy smile, and lovable character wont protect him from unfounded assumptions of criminality.What makes the Trayvon Martin travesty (歪曲) of justice so painful to me, personally, is the knowledge that Trayvons mother loved her baby no less than I love mine.The various pictures of moments throughout a happy childhood that have now found a home on nationwide newscasts provide clear evidence of that.Yet no amount of love and care, and no words of advice could have saved her son from the cruel killing he faced at the hands of a selfappointed neighborhood watchdog.And perhaps even worse, nothing could have prepared her for the inhuman way her son has been treated by officials even in death.To think for three long days, his parents searched for him while officials failed to inform them of his fate and instead, performed drug and alcohol tests on his lifeless body, while failing to do the same for his attackerthe only one of the two who indeed had a criminal past is frankly, unforgivable.To know that the words of her sons killer were given more weight than eyewitnesses and taped evidence of her childs screams and eventual death must be heartbreaking.But to also have to live with the fact that his attacker still breathes free while her son lays buried underground is certainly more than any sorrowful parent should have to endure(忍受)It is this type of pain that is not unfamiliar to the Black experience in America, for this is the Black mothers burden.A burden we have endured for centuries.We know the pain of having our newborn babies grabbed from our loving arms to be sold into lifelong servitude (奴役) and to never again experience the warmth of a mothers loving hug.Yet, there is still the rightful expectation, that in modernday America, the wheels of justice would not be stopped.So today, it is my hope that Trayvons mother, father, family and friends can take some comfort in the fact that millions of Americans of every color stand with them in their fight for justice.This is a burden no family should have to endure alone.We will not give up.We will not forget.We will continue the fight until justice is done.1What do you know about Sybrina Fulton? AShe was anxious about her son.BShe was painful to lose her son.CShe had trouble in raising her son.DShe had the same dream as the writer.B解析：细节理解题。根据题干关键词Sybrina Fulton找到文章对应段落是第一段， 根据第二句话中的pain及上下文内容判断选B。2Who does the writer actually refer to when mentioning “grasp their purse tighter” ? APassersby. BWhite people.CTeenagers. DWealthy people.B解析：细节理解题。passersby行人； white people白种人； teenagers青少年； wealthy people富有的人。根据题干关键词grasp their purse tighter找到文章的对应段落是第二段， 根据第一段提到的black, 推断作者在此处提及这一点实际是指的白种人。故选B。3By “keep both hands on the wheel at all times”， the writer means her son should _Aget ready to resist Bremain where he isCshow his innocence Dpretend to be scaredC解析：句意猜测题。get ready to resist准备好抵制； remain where he is留在原处不动； show his innocence显示他的清白； pretend to be scared假装害怕。根据下文的reach for his license判断选C。4From the story of Trayvon Martin, we can infer that _Ahe was killed simply because of his color of skinBhe was accused of taking drug even after his death Che kept silent even when he was being attacked Dthe police failed to find strong evidence against the attackerA解析：推理判断题。根据题干关键词Trayvon Martin找到文章对应段落是第四段， 根据该段的语气和前文的举例推断他的被杀就是因为他的肤色。故选A。5The article is mainly intended to _Adraw attention to the facts about killings Bgive comfort to the victims familiesCappeal for the end to the terrible situation Ddisplay hatred for terrible phenomenaC解析：写作意图题。A引起人们关注杀害的事实； B安慰牺牲者的家人们； C呼吁结束这种可怕的形势； D展示对可怕现象的厌恶。通读全文， 并根据文章的最后两句话判断是为了呼吁人们结束现在的形势而撰写的演讲词。故选C。6Which can be the proper title for the passage? AThe cruel killingsBThe daily sufferings CThe black sons fateDThe black mothers burdenD解析：标题归纳题。The cruel killings残酷的杀害； The daily sufferings日常的受苦； The black sons fate黑人儿子的命运； The black mothers burden黑人母亲的重担。通读全文， 并根据文章叙述的故事特别是黑人孩子母亲的痛苦判断选D。B(2016高考命题专家原创卷)You signed up for soccer，and played every game of the season.Sure，youre not the best player on the team，but most days you gave it your all.Do you deserve a trophy(奖杯)?If the decision is up to Carol Dweck，the answer would likely be no.Shes a psychology professor at Stanford University，California.She says a player doesnt have to be the best to get a trophy.But those who receive an award should have to work for it.She suggests trophies go to the most improved player，or the one who contributed most to the team spirit，as well as to those who play the best.“The trophy has to stand for something，”Dweck told TFK.“If we give a trophy to everyone，then the award has no value.”Dweck argues that giving kids trophies for particular reasons，such as improving in a sport，teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying our best.Others say that theres no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport，regardless of how they played or whether or not they improved.“I think we should encourage kids participation in sports，” says Kenneth Barish，a psychology professor at Weill Cornell Medical College，in New York City.“A trophy is one way to encourage kids efforts.”Barish argues that when we single_out only the best or even the most improved players with a trophy，we are teaching kids the wrong lesson.We are sending the message that winning is everything.“Winning is only part of the equation(等式)，” Barish told TFK.“Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of exercise.”There will be plenty of opportunity for kids to learn about competition as they get older，says Barish.Theyll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl.For now，he thinks theres nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winners.That means trophies for everyone.【解题导语】如果孩子参加体育比赛，那么是不是每个人都该得到奖杯呢？文章就这个问题给出了两种不同的看法。7According to Carol Dweck，which player should receive a trophy?ATony，the most attractive player of the soccer team.BDavid，a soccer player who is both clever and funny.CPeter，who is ready to help his partners to score goals.DJim，a soccer player who tries his best to win the game.C解析：推理判断题。根据第二段可知，斯坦福大学的心理学教授Carol Dweck认为，获奖的运动员未必是最好的运动员。她认为，进步最大的、对团队精神贡献最多的和表现最佳的运动员都应获奖。故C项正确。8Which of the following statements would Kenneth Barish agree with?AThere is no sense in giving a trophy to everyone.BKids fond of playing sports should be rewarded.CKids should be given trophies for trying their best.DIt is necessary to encourage kids participation in sports.D解析：细节理解题。根据第五段可知，纽约市威尔康乃尔医学院心理学教授Kenneth Barish认为，我们应该鼓励孩子参加体育活动。颁发奖杯是一种激励方式。9The underlined phrase“single out” in Paragraph 6 probably means“_”AhonourBchooseCvalue DstressB解析：词义猜测题。根据第六段可知，Barish认为，当我们挑选出最佳球员或进步最大球员并授予他们奖杯的时候，我们给孩子传递了一个错误的信号：获胜就是一切。因此画线的短语“single out”意为“挑出”。10Which shows the correct structure of the text?B解析：篇章结构题。本文的第一段为导语，导入讨论的话题。第二、三段陈述了斯坦福大学的心理学教授Carol Dweck的主要观点：反对人人获奖。下文(第四段至第七段)陈述的是纽约市威尔康乃尔医学院的心理学教授Kenneth Barish的观点，即赞成人人获奖。因此B项清晰地展示了本文的结构。Unit 2Growing pains(B卷).完形填空(2016淮安、宿迁、连云港、徐州调研)In

damage.The change in how coffee is grown from shadegrown production to fullsun production endangers the very existence of certain animals and birds，and even disturbs the worlds ecological balance.On a local level，the damage of the forest required by fullsun fields affects the areas birds and animals.The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other species(物种) that depend on the trees flowers and fruits.Fullsun coffee growers destroy this forest home.As a result，many species are quickly dying out.On a more global level，the destruction of the rainforest for fullsun coffee fields also threatens(威胁) human life. Medical research often makes use of the forests plant and animal life，and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases.In addition，new coffeegrowing techniques are poisoning the water locally，and eventually the worlds groundwater.Both locally and globally，the continued spread of fullsun coffee plantations(种植园) could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology.The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the worlds climate，and studies show that the loss of oxygengiving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming.Moreover，the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic(酸性的) soil conditions.It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects of life，from the local environment to the global ecology.But consumers do have a choice.They can purchase shadegrown coffee whenever possible，although at a higher cost.The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文。咖啡豆的新的种植技术带来了很大的利润，但与此同时也给我们带来了很多危害，影响我们生活的各个层面，因此我们要作出正确的选择。1What can we learn about fullsun coffee production from Paragraph 4?AIt limits the spread of new growing techniques.BIt leads to air pollution and global warming.CIt slows down the loss of shade trees.DIt improves local soil conditions.B解析：细节理解题。由文章第四段中的.the loss of oxygengiving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming.可知B项正确。由第四段第一句可知，是扩大了而不是限制了新种植技术的传播，故A项错误；它破坏了雨林生态系统，而不是减慢了这些树的丧失速度，故C项错误；由第四段最后一句可知，这种新的种植技术导致了酸性土壤状况而不是改进了土壤状况，故D项错误。2The purpose of the text is to _AentertainBadvertiseCinstruct DpersuadeD解析：写作意图题。通读全文可知，本文向大家介绍咖啡豆的新的种植技术所带来的不良影响，旨在说服大家作出正确的选择，故选D项persuade(说服)。 entertain娱乐，advertise做广告，instruct指导，均不合适。3Where does this text probably come from?AAn agricultural magazine.BA medical journal.CAn engineering textbook.DA tourist guide.A解析：推理判断题。 本文向大家介绍咖啡豆的新的种植技术所带来的不良影响，这属于农学的范畴，因此最有可能出自一本农学杂志，故选A项。B项A medical journal(一本医学杂志)，C项An engineering textbook(一本工程教科书)，D项A tourist guide(一本旅行指南)，均不正确。4Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?A. B. C. D. (P：Paragraph)A解析：篇章结构题。通读全文可知，文章第一段从整体上介绍咖啡豆的新的种植技术带来的危害，中间第二、三、四段详细介绍了具体的危害，最后一段介绍这种新的种植技术影响我们生活的各个层面，消费者要作出正确的选择。因此，整篇文章属于“总分总”结构，故选A项。B(2016南通第二次调研)Consumers everywhere are faced with the same dilemma: given limited resources, what sorts of purchases are most likely to produce lasting happiness and satisfaction?
