In the sixth grade, suddenly, there were two choices: be cool, or be invisible. _2_, one day, when a teacher had us fill out a questionnaire with _3_ questions, I found the _4_ option.Assuming (假定) the teacher would read our answers privately, I felt it was _5_ to share my privacy. To my _6_, she collected and redistributed (重新分发) them to us. We were asked to _7_ the name and our three favorite answers to the whole class. My answers went to the meanest boy in class.The first question was “Whats your favorite movie?” My answer was Beauty and the Beast. A laugh erupted and my cheeks _8_. The next was “Where would you like to travel?” My answer was _9_ special “Wherever a book takes me.”The _10_ this time had an explosive quality. I could _11_ remember what happened next; all that I had in mind was the laughter. But something amazing happened. A(n) _12_ came, “Guys, cut it out.” The room went _13_. Its Michelle Siever, a popular and cool girl. Then she _14_, “Why are you laughing? What is the point of _15_ if we just laugh at others?” I cant remember the teacher or other kids names, but I remember Michelles. When she _16_ for me that day, she _17_ me we actually have three choices if we want to be remembered. Be cool, and you might be remembered _18_. Stay invisible, and you wont be remembered at all. But if you stand up _19_ someone when he or she _20_ you most, then you will be remembered as their hero for the rest of their life.【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。在老师组织的全班问卷调查活动中,“我”的回答引起全班同学哄堂大笑,这时一个女生站起来帮助“我”走出困境。同时,“我”明白了一个道理:在别人需要你的时候站出来会被别人永远记住。1A.tool Bchoice Cchance Dpurpose答案与解析:B根据空后一句中的“In the sixth grade, suddenly, there were two choices”可知,此处表示,在五年级,似乎只有唯一的选择(choice)来让别人记住自己装酷。2A.However BIn addition CTherefore DIn fact答案与解析:A根据下文内容可知,老师让同学们填调查问卷这件事使“我”改变了原先的看法,故前后为转折关系,所以选A。3A.personal Bfunny Cvarious

more reduced,with serious consequences for the future of fish and other sea life. 1 One is the simple fact that as water gets warmer,it can hold less dissolved(溶解的)oxygen.The other reason is less obvious.The entire ocean gets its oxygen from the surfaceeither from the atmosphere,or from photosynthesizing algae floating at the top of the sea. 2 Global warming is expected to reduce the mixing of the ocean by making surface seawater lighter.Thats because in a warmer world we can expect more rainfall and more melting(融化)of glaciers,icebergs,and ice sheets. 3 The extra heat from the warming atmosphere will also make surface water expand and thus make it lighter still. 4 Instead,more of the oxygen will remain near the surface,where it will be used up by oxygenbreathing organisms.A lowoxygen ocean may bee an inescapable feature of our planet.A team of Danish researchers wondered how long oxygen levels would drop if we could somehow reduce our carbon dioxide emissions to zero by 2100.They determined that over the next few thousand years oxygen levels would continue to fall,until they declined by 30 percent.The oxygen would slowly return to the oceans,but even 100,000 years from now they will not have fully recovered. 5 AIts not known why the oxygen level of oceans has reduced.BScientists point to two reasons to expect a drop in ocean oxygen.CFresh waters inpouring will make the water at the oceans surface lighter.DThe oxygen then spreads to the deep ocean as the surface water slowly sinks.EGlobal warming has caused the reduction of the oxygen content of oceans worldwide.FThe light surface water will be less likely to sink so the deep ocean will get less oxygen.GIf they are right,we have every reason to worry about the major effect it has on sea life.【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章简要介绍了海水中氧气含量主要原因及其可能对海洋生物带来的长期的影响。1B从文章篇章结构分析,本空为段落主旨句。本段介绍了全球变暖使海洋含氧量降低的原因,并且“One”“The other reason”与B项中的“two reasons”相呼应,故选B。2D根据段落主旨和空前的“The entire ocean gets its oxygen from the surface.at the top of the sea.”可知,此处是通过说明海洋中氧气的来源与循环来解释海洋含氧量下降的原因的,故D项“然后,随着表层海水的慢慢下沉,氧气扩散至海洋深处”符合语境。3C根据空前的内容和常识可知,雨水和冰川、冰山及冰原融水都属于淡水,海洋中的水是咸水,而淡水的密度比咸水的小,因此淡水的注入会使海洋表面的水变得更轻。故C项符合语境。C项中的“make the water.lighter”与下文中的“make it lighter”的对应关系亦是提示。4F根据空前的“The extra heat from the warming atmosphere will .”和空后的“Instead,more of the oxygen will remain.”可知,F项与空前的句子的句式相同,且与空后的句子的内容存在语意上的转折关系,故F项符合语境。5GG项中的“they”与上文中的“A team of Danish researchers”相呼应,且上文讲到即使我们把二氧化碳的排放降低到零,海洋含氧量也需要很长时间才能恢复,其对海洋生物造成的影响将是长期的,故G项“如果他们是对的,那么我们完全有理由对它对海洋生物的重大影响感到担忧”符合语境。
