But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement.Business people,political leaders,university professors,and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement.“The understanding has increased many,many times,”says Gaylord Nelson,the former governor from Wisconsin,who thought up the first Earth Day.According to US government reports,emissions(排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons.The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with,the world is a safer and healthier place.A kind of “green thinking” has bee part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved.In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs;today in 1995 there are about 6,600.Advanced lights,motors,and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution. Twenty-five years ago,there were hardly any education programs for environment.Today,its hard to find a public school,university,or law school that does not have such a kind of program.“Until we do that,nothing else will change!”says Bruce Anderson.1.According to Anderson,before 1970,Americans had little idea about.A.the social movement B.recycling techniquesC.environmental problemsD.the importance of Earth Day2.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly e from?A.The grass-roots level.B.The business circle.C.Government officials.D.University professors.3.What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?A.They have cut car emissions to the lowest.B.They have settled their environmental problems.C.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D.They have reduced pollution through effective measures.4.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?A.Education.B.Planning.C.Green living.D.CO reduction.答案语篇解读本文为说明文,题材是节能环保类。作者阐述了自1970年以来,美国在环境保护方面所取得的成就。1.C 2.A 3.D 4.A Passage 3(xx北京,C)体裁:议论文词数:388Choosing the Right Resolution(决定)Millions of Americans began xx with the same resolution they started xx with,a goal of losing weight.However,setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.To reach our goal of losing weightthe output,we need to control what we eatthe input(输入).That is,we tend to care about the output but not to control the input.This is a bad way to construct goals.The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input.Instead of resolving to lose weight,try an actionable resolution:“Ill stop having dessert for lunch,”or “Ill walk every day for 20 minutes.”Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the oute.Recently a new science behind incentives(激励),including in education,has been discussed.For example,researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school.In some cases,he gave students incentives based on input,like reading certain books,while in others,the incentives were based on output,like results on exams.His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect when based on output.Fryers conclusion was that the incentives for inputs might be more effective because students do not know how to do better on an exam,aside from general rules like “study harder”.Reading certain books,on the other hand,is a well-set task over which they have much more control.As long as you have direct control over your goal,you have a much higher chance of success.And its easier to start again if you fail,because you know exactly what you need to do.If you want to cut down on your spending,a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a caf,for example.This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily.Spending less money isnt a goal because its too general.Similarly,if you want to spend more time with your family,dont stop with this general wish.Think about an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to,like a family movie night every Wednesday.In the long run,these new goals could bee a habit.1.The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because.A.it is hard to achieve for most AmericansB.it is focused too much on the resultC.it is dependent on too many thingsD.it is based on actionable decisions2.In Roland Fryers research,some students did better than the others because.A.they obeyed all the general rulesB.they paid more attention to examsC.they were motivated by their classmatesD.they were rewarded for reading some books3.According to the writer,which of the following statements is a good goal?A.“Ill give up dessert.”B.“Ill study harder.”C.“Ill cut down my expenses.”D.“Ill spend more time with my family.”4.The writer strongly believes that we should.A.develop good habits and focus on the outeB.be optimistic about final goals and stick to themC.pick specific actions that can be turned into good habitsD.set ambitious goals that can balance the input and output答案语篇解读本文为议论文,题材为设定目标。作者认为“减肥”不是一个很有效的目标,并具体解释了设立什么样的目标更加有效。1.B 2.D 3.A 4.C Passage 4(xx浙江,D)体裁:记叙文词数:615A city childs summer is spent in the street in front of his home,and all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball.I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missingnot out of special cruelty,but because they took it for granted I would be no good at it.They were right,of course.I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed.The baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark.Then it was the custom of the boys to retire to a little stoop(门廊)that stuck out from the candy store on the corner and that somehow had bee theirs.No grownup ever sat there or attempted to.There the boys would sit,mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow.Then long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one.It was just after one of those long silences that my life as an outsider changed.I can no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question;but whoever he was,I nod to him gratefully now.“Whats in those books youre always reading?”he asked casually.“Stories,”I answered.“What kind?”asked somebody else without much interest.Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did,for usually I just sat there in silence,glad enough to be allowed to remain among them;but instead of answering his question,I told them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment.The book was Sister Carrie.They listened bug-eyed and breathless.I must have told it well,but I think there was another and deeper reason that made them so keen an audience.Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of mans entertainments,but I was offering them as well,without being aware of doing it,a new and exciting experience.The books they themselves read were the Rover Boys or Tom Swift or G.A.Henty.I had read them too,but at thirteen I had long since left them behind.Since I was much alone I had bee an enthusiastic reader and I had gone through the books-for-boys-series.In those days there was no reading material between childrens and grownups books,or I could find none.I had gone right from Tom Swift and His Flying Machine to Theodore Dreiser and Sister Carrie.Dreiser had hit my young mind,and they listened to me tell the story with some of the wonder that I had had in reading it.The next night and many nights thereafter,a kind of unspoken ritual(仪式)took place.As it grew dark,I would take my place in the center of the stoop and begin the evenings tale.Some nights,in order to taste my victory more pletely,I cheated.I would stop at the most exciting part of a story by Jack London or Bret Harte,and without warning tell them that that was as far as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following evening.It was not true,of course;but I had to make certain of my new-found power and position.I enjoyed the long summer evenings until school began in the fall.Other words of mine have been listened to by larger and more fashionable audiences,but for that tough and athletic one that sat close on the stoop outside the candy store,I have an unreasoning love that will last forever.1.Watching the boys playing baseball,the writer must have felt.A.bitter and lonelyB.special and differentC.pleased and excitedD.disturbed and annoyed2.The writer feels grateful even now to the boy who asked the question because the boy.A.invited him to join in their gameB.liked the book that he was readingC.broke the long silence of that summer eveningD.offered him an opportunity that changed his life3.According to Paragraph 3,story-telling was popular among the boys basically because.A.the story was from a childrens bookB.listening to tales was an age-old practiceC.the boys had few entertainments after darkD.the boys didnt read books by themselves4.The boys were attracted to Sister Carrie because.A.it was written by Theodore DreiserB.it was specifically targeted at boysC.it gave them a deeper feeling of pleasureD.it talked about the wonders of the world5.Sometimes the writer stopped at the most exciting part of a story to.A.play a mean trick on the boysB.experience more joy of achievementC.add his own imagination to the storyD.help the boys understand the story better6.What is the message conveyed in the story?A.One can find his position in life in his own way.B.Friendship is built upon respect for each other.C.Reading is more important than playing games.D.Adult habits are developed from childhood.答案语篇解读这是一篇记叙文,题材为人物故事类。作者讲述了自己在某个夏天的暑假,原本只是那群玩棒球男生的旁观者,却因为一次偶然的邀请,整个夏天的晚上都在给他们讲他看过的书中的故事,而且这一经历改变了作者的一生。1.A 2.D 3.B 4.C5.B 6.A Passage 5(xx江苏,A)体裁:应用文词数:249Never before had a Kitchen so much
