14、s.Most people are not aware that organic clothing production is now a billiondollar industry.Many of us probably dont even know what organic clothing is.Organic clothing is the material that is made and grown in accordance with organic standards.This means that in the process of growing the material
15、 no harm is done to the air,water and the earth itself.These materials are not harmful to the earths natural ecological system and meet the standards of what is wellknown today as “going green”Another fact that most people are not aware of is that the clothing industry adds more pollution to the nat
16、ural environment than most other industries.Cotton is one material where pesticides are used a lot because the crops are always being attacked by various insects and bugs.To the contrary,organically grown cotton does not use any of these harmful pesticides nor do they add any other chemicals to the
17、natural cotton.Organic clothing is catching_on but you may not find it in your local department stores.However,you would be more likely to find a better variety by going online.Organic clothing may be a bit more expensive than ordinary clothing.Cotton is not the only material that is grown organical
18、ly,although it is very popular.Other materials include hemp,bamboo,and wool.Just as with organically grown cotton,there are no pesticides or chemicals used in the growing process of these materials.Most people say that clothing made from organic cotton has a smoother feel and is softer and gentler o
19、n the skin.26According to the text,which of the following is known by most people?AWhat organic clothing is.BWhat “going green” means.COrganic clothing is a moneymaking business.DThe clothing industry seriously pollutes the environment.【解析】细节理解题。从第二段“what is wellknown today as going green”可知“绿色”这个概念
20、是被人们所熟悉的。【答案】B27Which aspect do organic standards mainly deal with?AThe quality.BPeoples health.CThe environment.DThe production of clothing.【解析】推理判断题。从第二段可知有机衣服的生产和制作过程符合有机标准,也就是说在生产的过程中,不会对环境和生态系统带来危害,遵循现在很流行的“绿色”的概念。所以有机标准主要是关注“环境”。【答案】C28Which of the following is TRUE about organic cotton?AInsec
21、ts and bugs dont attack organic cotton.BOnly cotton has been organically grown so far.CNeither pesticides nor chemicals are added to orgainc cotton.DPeople think poorly of clothing made from organic cotton.【解析】细节理解题。从最后一段“Just as with organically grown cotton,there are no pesticides or chemicals use
22、d in the growing profess of these materials.”可知C项正确。从“Cotton is not the only material that is grown organically.”可知棉花不是唯一的有机作物,故B项错误;从“Most people say that clothing made from organic cotton has a smoother feel and is softer and gentler on the skin.”可知D项错误。【答案】C29The underlined phrase “catching on” i
23、n the fourth paragraph means “_”Abecoming popular Bbecoming cheaperCgetting improved Dgetting started【解析】词义猜测题。从划线部分后文中说“you may not find it in your local department stores”可知这句话的意思是“虽然有机衣服已经越来越流行,但是你也许在当地的百货商店里找不到”。【答案】A30What is the BEST title for the text?AChanges in Organic ClothingBHow Organic
24、Clothing DevelopsCThe Truth About Organic ClothingDWhere to Buy the Real Organic Clothes【解析】文章题目题。文章的第一段引入了一个新事物有机衣服,后面的段落分别介绍了有机衣服的生产标准,其手感,以及在哪里能够买到等。故C项“The Truth About Organic Clothing”最符合。【答案】CBHow difficult change is depends a lot on your attitude towards it and your resistance to it.Your atti
25、tude to change can itself change,and make the whole transformation process much easier.It all depends on your point of view.Imagine change as a pair of shoes,which will help you understand change and how it works.I am sure that you have ever had a comfortable pair of shoes in your life.That pair of
26、shoes is so comfortable that you really dont want to ever get rid of them.You know you need a new pair,and may even have them,but you dont want to wear them because you are comfortable with your old pair.Besides,the new pair may hurt your feet,give you blisters or be uncomfortable to start with.So,y
27、ou refuse to change into the new shoes.However,a part of you knows that this new pair would be much better for your feet,and after the discomfort they would probably be even more comfortable,yet you still dont want to.Do you know Im doing this now? Im wearing my comfortable shoes and they feel good.
28、They have a hole in each heel,and the sole is starting to fall off,but Im still wearing them.This describes change exactly: change of our habits,change of our thought patterns.We stick with the old patterns because they are comfortable.Yet once we get over the pain of the transformation,the new patt
29、ern will be comfortable and feel good until the time comes when we need another new pair of shoes.31Why do people prefer old shoes to new ones?AThey have much emotion in the old ones.BThey are more comfortable.CNew shoes always harm the feet.DThey look better than the new ones.【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句以及第
30、三段第一句可知,人们喜欢旧鞋是因为他们穿着更舒服。【答案】B32According to the text,we know that people _.Adont realize the benefit of the new shoes very wellBare positive and openminded to accept new thingsCactually know change will finally be good for themDdont accept new patterns because they are not good【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段中最后一句话
31、可知,尽管由于新鞋子会夹脚等原因人们不想穿新鞋,但实际上他们知道在经历了最初的疼痛之后,新鞋子还是会很舒服的。由此可推出,人们实际上是知道改变会最终给他们带来好处,即C表述正确。【答案】C33With a hole in each heel,the writer decides to _.Athrow them away Bbuy a new pairChave them repaired Dgo on wearing them【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“They have a hole in each heel,and the sole is starting to fall o
32、ff,but Im still wearing them.”可知,尽管鞋子坏了,但作者还是会因为它们很舒服继续穿下去。【答案】D34In the writers view,_.Achange is hard and unnecessaryBold shoes are better than new onesCchange depends a lot on ones attitudeDpeople prefer to wear fashionable shoes【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Your attitude to change can itself change,and make
33、 the whole transformation process much easier.”可知作者认为改变很大程度上取决于一个人的态度。【答案】C35What is the BEST title of the text?AA Hard ChoiceBThe Older,the BetterCStick with the Old PatternsDChange Whenever Necessary【解析】主旨大意题。本文通过一个例子论证了改变的困难所在,同时表明了改变其实取决于我们的态度,隐含了该改变时即改变这样一种观点。【答案】DCAlan King,an American comedia
34、n,was born in New York City on December 26,1927.He was the youngest of eight children.His family environment fostered his interest in storytelling,but it was the streets of New York that led him to humor.Boys in New York learned to protect themselves early on the streets and if it was not with their
35、 fists,it was with humor,and King had an answer to everything.Seeing a future in making people laugh,King left school and began remembering jokes he had heard in basement clubs.He discovered a perfect way to make people laugh:shining a light on the humor in everyday life.The audience loved it and Ki
36、ng was on his way.He moved up in the show business ranks,performing club gigs (特约演出)and getting his frst break as a replacement when a comic was sick.But it was his appearance as a first act “closer”in 1956 that made King a star.Since then,King became a regular on The Ed Sullivan Show,and was the gu
37、est host of The Tonight Show on several occasions.Kings act was streetwise,smart,understandable,and funny.Not only the middle class,but everyone could relate to his humorous stories.His interests were greater than just the show business,and he became known as a political activist.King was close to R
38、obert Kennedy and went with Kennedys body to Washington DC.after he was assassinated in 1968.King is also the author of four bestselling books:Anybody Who Owns His Own Home Deserves It,Is Salami and Eggs Better Than Sex?,Help,Im a Prisoner in a Chinese Bakery and his autobiography,Name Dropping.He a
39、lso started a scholarship for American students at Hebrew University.In medical circles,he was known for raising funds for Emotionally Disturbed Children and for founding the Alan King Diagnostic Medical Center in Jerusalem.36How did King protect himself on the streets of New York when he was young?
40、AHe fought with other boys.BHe asked his family to help.CHe used his strong sense of humor.DHe answered every question himself.【解析】细节理解题。从第一段“.it was the streets of New York that led him to humor.Boys in New York leanred to protect themselves early on the streets and if it was not with their fists,i
41、t was with humor,and King had an answer to everything.”可知在纽约的大街上,阿兰金学会了如何运用自己的幽默感,他不像别的男生一样用拳头解决问题,而是用自己的幽默感,故选C。【答案】C37From the second paragraph we can learn that _.AKing enjoyed making up jokesBKing did not like going to schoolCKing enjoyed playing jokes on the audienceDKing looked at daily life i
42、n a humorous way【解析】细节理解题。从第二段“Seeing a future in making people laugh,King left school and began remembering jokes.”可知阿兰金是背笑话,而不是自己编笑话,故A项错误,B项也不能从此句中推出。从“He discovered a perfect way to make people laugh”可知他只是让观众笑,而不是取笑观众,故C项错误。从“shining a light on the humor in everyday life”可知他以一种幽默的方式来看待每天的生活,故D项正
43、确。【答案】D38What do we know about King and his life in the show business?AHe acted regularly after 1956.BHe was known to everyone then.CHe once hosted The Ed Sullivan Show.DHe first became famous when he replaced a sick comic.【解析】细节理解题。从第三段“.in 1956.Since then,King became a regular on The Ed Sullivan S
44、how.”可知1956年以后,阿兰金经常演出,故A项正确。【答案】A39The underlined word “assassinated”means _.Achosen BwoundedCinterviewed Dmurdered【解析】猜测词义题。肯尼迪是在1968年遭暗杀身亡,从前面“.went with Kennedvs body to Washington DC.”他护送肯尼迪的遗体回华盛顿,也可猜出“assassinated”的意思是“murdered”(谋杀)。【答案】D40Alan King made great achievements in all the followin
45、g fields EXCEPT _.Athe show business BwritingCbusiness Deducation【解析】推理判断题。从文章的第三段可知阿兰金在表演上有很大成就。文章倒数第二段是他在文学上的成就,最后一段提到了他在希伯来大学为学生设立了奖学金,这是他在教育方面的成就,所以只有“business”文章没有提到。【答案】C DIf you have been to the grocery store lately,you know that you can read such labels as “enriched”,“fortified”,“natural” an
46、d “organically grown”However,these types of product labels are often misleading and false.The first type of words which we have to pay attention to include:“fortified”,“enriched”,“added”,“extra”and “plus”These could easily mean that certain beneficail nutrients and minerals may have been removed whi
47、le other vitamins were added during the processing.You should try to look for foods which are labeled “100% whole”,“high fiber” and “low sugar”As far as drinks are concerned,do not buy a product just because it says “fruit drink” on it.There could be little or no real juice in the bottle.Another key
48、 phrase to be aware of is “made with”Just because a product states that its made with something it does not mean that it contains 100% of that nutrient,so try to look for proudcts that state “whole” or “100%”Another food label that we are easily fooled by is “natural”This is often misleading because
49、 the company may have started out with a natural product,but after it has been processed it is no longer totally natural.Try to find products that state “100% all natural” or “no preservatives”As far as organics are concerned,look for “certified organically grown” on the packaging.So the next time y
50、ou go to the supermarket,be a smart shopper and read the food labels carefully.As a consumer,it is important to explore both sides of the product packaging and to be aware of false food labeling.There are certain key words which we can comfortably trust when it comes down to healthy eating,being awa
51、re of what these words are is the key to buying the best products there.41If you want to buy real fruit juice,you should NOT buy those drinks which _.Astate “100% all natural”Bsay “certified organically grown”Cstate “whole” or “100%”Donly say “fruit drink”【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“As far as drinks are conce
52、rned,do not buy a product just because it says fruit drink on it.There could be little or no real juice in the bottle.”可知买饮料的时候不要买只标有“fruit drink”的产品,因为这种商品只含有少量或者不含有真正的水果原汁。【答案】D42From the text we can infer that _.Awe are always misled by advertisementsBwe should not always trust the labelsCwe shou
53、ld buy products according to the labelsDwe can always get useful information from the labels【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第一段的“However,these types of product labels are often misleading and false.”以及全文可以发现有些商品上的标签是不可信的,具有迷惑性,所以B说法正确。【答案】B43This text is designed for _.Aadvertisers BsalesmenCconsumers Dresearchers【解析
54、】推理判断题。文章主要是为消费者提供一些认识商品上标签用语的注意事项,所以该文章是为消费者设计的。【答案】C44When a kind of food is labelled “natural”,it means that _.Ait may be made from a natural productBvitamins are added during the processingCit is 100% naturalDit contains no preservatives【解析】细节理解题。根据文章的第三段的“.may have started out with a natural pr
55、oduct”可知标有“natural”字样的商品在一开始生产的时候,它的原料应该是天然的。【答案】A45How is the text developed?【解析】文章结构题。文章第一段是综述一个观点,即“一些产品的商标用语不足为信”,第二、三段分别举例说明,最后一段回归主题告诫消费者选取商品时注意商标,所以文章的结构是总分总。【答案】C第二节信息匹配(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。请阅读下列语言学习书籍的插图及提示性文字:A10 QuickPlay Folder Games Language Ages: 913Grades: 48Addres
