view that it could be one of the 2.biggest(big) problems 3.facing(face) the 21st century.Some of the scientists have reported that it is human beings that 4.are_causing(cause) changes in the Earths climate；for in the last 50 years，gases 5.pumped(pump) into the Earths atmosphere by the factories and vehicles have been speeding up the process of global warming.It seems that the link between human activities and 6.rising(rise) global temperatures is not 7.merely(mere) a coincidence according to some data.If we continue to produce carbon dioxide and other gases in such huge quantities，we are condemning life on Earth 8.and should expect severe consequences.After all，theres no substitute 9.for our Earth，so each person should take action to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide together with

to work on.“Here,”I said,“keep this with you so you dont forget.”He took the piece of paper and stared at it for a moment before menting,“I cant read this.”I wasnt sure what he meant,so I examined the note.It was my best cursive(草书).Its true,then.The news about schools no longer teaching handwriting.But I believe it is necessary for students to learn cursive.First,there continues to be a need to sign “hard copies”of documents.There is a sense of ceremony and a seriousness of purpose about the act of signing something.It calls to mind the signers of the Declaration of Independence.Just look at those signatures!John Hancocks was so robust (遒劲的) and original that,more than 200 years later,it still serves as the logo (标识) of a namesake (同名者) insurance pany.And why not?It is a work of art.Second,a great part of the history of the United States is recorded in handwritten documents,including personal letters.If one has not been taught to write in cursive,it is unlikely that one will be able to read it.Third,and perhaps most important,when one is trying to learn something,somewhere in the process there must be a slow step.Writing in longhand is a means of slowing down enough to be able to think deeply about what one is penning.In times of budgetary trial,schools often jettison music and art instruction but keep dangerous football.If cursive joins those victims from the curriculum,then it will be the loss of yet one more outlet (发泄途径) through which students are able to say,“This is my mark.This is me.”I still remember in fifth grade,I once handed my finished work to Mrs.Shaw,my handwriting teacher.She looked at it,caught her breath,and said,“Oh,my.I think youre going to be a writer someday.”Thank you,Mrs.Shaw,for seeing so much in my handwriting.I needed that push.1.The authors student .A.knew few wordsB.didnt study hardC.had poor eyesightD.couldnt read cursive2.What do we know about John Hancocks signature?A.It is hard to recognize.B.It is really appreciated.C.It is used illegally by a pany.D.It was discovered in a personal letter.3.Which can best replace the underlined word “jettison”in Paragraph 7?A.Focus on.B.Get rid of.C.Depend on.D.Look down upon.4.To the author,Mrs.Shaws words were .A.quite interestingB.really confusingC.very encouragingD.pretty disappointingIn the dead of winter，we dont typically think about spending time outdoors，but according to many physicians we should.The sun is our greatest source of a vitamin that is essential for good healthVitamin D.This important vitamin strengthens bones and teeth and is linked to the prevention of heart disease，cancer and many other lifethreatening diseases.The remended daily requirement is 400600 International Units(IU)In summer，people with dark brown eyes and darker skin turn sunlight from just 15 minutes outside without sunscreen into adequate amounts of Vitamin D.Even during winter，just a 10minute walk at midday can keep the bodys Vitamin D at healthy levels.During brief winter walks，we receive the greatest benefits when we wear no sunscreen and expose as much skin to the sun as possible.Vitamin D can be also obtained from foods.Salmon is one of the best sources of the Vitamin.Egg yolks(蛋黄)，cheese，mushrooms and some animal organs contain smaller quantities of it.To attract consumers，food panies add Vitamin D to some of their milk products.The practice of putting the Vitamin into milk began in the 1930s.At that time，many children were suffering from rickets，an illness that is caused by a deficiency (缺乏)of Vitamin DIt made the childrens bones soft and weak.Adding Vitamin D to milk helped to solve the problem，and it has been available ever since.For people who still need more Vitamin D，there is another option：Take Vitamin D supplements(补充物)These products are widely sold in stores.However，anyone considering taking supplements should consult a physician first.1During the winter months，people _.Aarent able to meet their deadlinesBoften dont dress warmly enoughCgenerally like to remain indoorsDleave lots of work for others to do2According to the text，Vitamin D _.Acan be obtained by being exposed to the sunBcan be used to cure lifethreatening diseasesCcan be mainly found in some milk productsDcan make the childrens bones soft and weak3Why is salmon mentioned in this article?AIts seldom prepared in the correct way.BIts a useful addition to a persons diet.CIt has a huge impact on the environment.DIts advantages have been exaggerated.4The main purpose of this article is _.Ato introduce a valuable nutrientBto

work of art.”可知,约翰汉考克的签名得到了高度评价,200多年后仍被一家同名保险公司用做标识。3.B词义猜测题。由上下文可知,受预算的影响,学校常放弃音乐和艺术课,却保留危险的足球课。如果草书成为另外一个课程牺牲品,那对学生会是一大损失。故画线词的意思应该是“放弃”。4.C推理判断题。由最后一段“Thank you,Mrs.Shaw,for seeing so much in my handwriting.I needed that push.”可推断,老师表扬作者的话令作者很受鼓舞。.【解题导语】本文是记叙文。一次停车的经历让作者意识到多为他人着想能给自己带来心灵上的平静。1.B根据第二段中的 I was heading into one car space,the park in front 可知,市场有很多停车位,作者“选择了(choose)”其中一个停车。2.A参照第3题解析。3.D根据下句中的“The girl was actually a teenager.”可知,一位行人因为作者差点撞到了自己的“女儿(daughter)”而“指责(abuse)”作者。4.D根据本空前的a teenager及下句内容可知,与小孩子相比,青少年已经足够“大(old)”了,她应该有看到车子躲避的常识。5.C根据上文中的a parking space and reversed in可知,这里指作者“停好车(park)”后。6.A根据本句内容可知,“当(when)”那位女士指出作者的错误时,作者为自己辩护。7.B根据but的转折语气及作者为自己的辩护I had never.the park in front可知,那位女士认为作者本来是向一个停车位开去,但是又改变了“主意(mind)”,向另一个停车位开去。8.C根据第一段内容可知,作者一开始就选好了停车位,所以从来没有“打算(intend for)”停在前面的一个停车位上。9.C参照第10题解析。10.B既然双方已经解释清楚了,所以作者“建议(suggest)”就把这件事当成一个误会,而不是因为对方生气,自己就“不客气(unkindness)”或者更生气。11.A根据本句中的the angry woman was in the wrong可知,一对老夫妇目睹了事件的全过程,他们认为是那位女士的错,由此可推测,他们认为作者把这件事情处理得“很好(well)”。12.B得到了别人的支持,作者应该感到“安慰(fort)”。13.C根据本空后两句内容可知,作者在市场里想起了这件“事(incident)”。14.D根据第二段内容不难看出,作者并未与那位女士争吵,全程都很“冷静(calm)”。15.A参照第17题解析。16.D参照第17题解析。17.C根据本段开头的Car parks in summer及常识可知,夏天的停车场又“热(heat)”又忙碌,绝不是什么“让人快乐的(joyous)”的场所,人们很容易失去“耐心(patience)”。18.B本空前的consider other people和本空后的only thinking of ourselves是非此即彼的关系,故instead of(而不是)符合此处语境。19.A根据本空后的self-love可知,这次停车的经历让作者得到了“平静(peace)”和自爱。20.D通读全文不难看出,在平静、自爱与怒气之间,作者“更喜欢(prefer)”前者。.短文改错Dear Ms.Li,Im very happy have you as our teacher.As the world is being a global
