After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained. He
18、 was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then,
19、he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurred to him. “Why not write to other people who need encouragement?”He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replie
20、d, “Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered.”Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. He began sending oneway messages of Gods love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit.
21、He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison ministry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checke
22、d the prison mail.The letter said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces!”No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and Godgiven talents. We can discover ways to re

26、 manDsome of the prisoners were not satisfied with his lettersCA new study suggests that people who drank a certain amount of alcohol had a lower risk of cancer and death than those who drank more or none during a nineyear period. And with each additional drink a week, the risk of cancer and death f
27、rom any cause increased, the scientists reported.However, the study found only an association between alcohol and cancer and death, and did not prove cause and effect, the researches said. “What sets the new study apart,” said lead study author Andrew Kunzmann, “is that previous studies looked at ca
28、ncer and death separately. What our study does is to combine the two outcomes together and we find that lighter drinking is associated with the lowest risk of cancer or death.”But Kunzmann noted that the participants (参与者) were all older adults. “That means that were not really showing what happens
29、in younger people if they drink,” he said. “Also, its difficult to account for other lifestyles that could have affected the results. These could also influence health. But the results did take differences in diet, smoking and education among participants into consideration,” Kunzmann noted.The rese
30、archers said that they hoped their study sparked conversation about reducing the suggested alcohol intake in countries guidelines. “Were not telling people what they can or cant do or what they can or cant drink,” Kunzmann said. “Were just trying to give them reliable evidence so that they can make
31、their own informed, healthy decisions.”28What is the finding of the new study?ANondrinkers are least likely to have cancer. BDrinking helps lower the risk of cancer.CLighter drinking is helpful to health. DHeavy drinkers are at more risk.29Which of the following explains the underlined word “previou
32、s” in Paragraph 2?AFuture. BPresent.CNew. DFormer.30What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?AThe result is of little value. BThe research has its limitations.CThe participants are all adults. DThe influence of diet is included.31What do the researchers suggest people do about drinking?AMake their own d
33、ecisions. BReduce the amount they drink.CHave additional drinks occasionally. DDrink according to the countries guidelines.DThere was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier, “Paper or plastic?” Well, which type of bag
34、would you choose?While both types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are better. They are made from a renewable source, are broken down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper
35、bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true?Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times larger. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes abo
36、ut fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happen to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environmentfriendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less ener
37、gy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper.Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered as the more harmful of the two by governments. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People hav
38、e to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly.Theres no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we dont seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, thei
39、r production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do? How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: “What can I do to help the environment?”32.The question at the end of Paragraph 1 is used to _.Ain
40、troduce the point for discussion Btell readers how to save moneyCexpress the authors doubts Dshow the kindness of the cashier33Compared with plastic bags, paper bags _.Atake more time to break down Brequire less energy to recycleCneed more water to produce Dhave less influence on forests34What does
41、the underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?AShare. BPut forward.CDiscuss. DGive up.35Which question does the author probably hope the cashier ask?APaper or cloth? BA new bag or your own one?CA small bag or big one? DPaper or plastic?第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处

64、Tom could see many of their neighborssome still in their pajamas (睡衣)running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.“She would have run for safety like everyone else!” Tom cried.

78、ing experience和Copy Editor中“You must:”的最后一项have two years editing experience,可知C项正确。22答案与解析:D细节理解题。根据Graphic Designer的“You must:”的应聘条件中的第六条可知A项是必备条件;根据第一条可知B项为必备条件;根据第四条可知C项为必备条件。D项为应聘Senior Copy Editor的必备条件,故选D。23答案与解析:A推理判断题。语篇中详细列出了各职位要求,全篇最后一句For enquiries or to apply, write to .给出申请网址,故可推测本文为招聘
79、广告。故选A。B【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位聪明的男人, 在交通事故中失去双腿和左臂后, 凭借自己的能力和才华, 给监狱里的犯人写充满爱、希望和鼓励的信,让自己的生活充满意义。24答案与解析:D细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的The prison minister replied, “Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered.” 可知, 监狱长告诉故事主人公, 写信可以, 但是不会收到回信。25答案与解析:C细节理解题。由第二段中的An idea occurred to
80、 him. “Why not write to other people who need encouragement?” 以及第四段中的 He began sending oneway messages of Gods love, hope, strength, and encouragement. 可知, 故事主人公想出了给需要鼓励的人写信的主意, 并且在与监狱长确认后, 他开始写信。也就是说为了生活得更有意义, 故事主人公开始给需要鼓励的人写信。26答案与解析:A主旨大意题。这是一篇记叙文, 文章中心体现在最后一段: 无论我们身处什么环境, 我们总有自己的长处, 并能找到方法去帮助那些需
81、要鼓励和力量的人。选项A中的“Special Letters”体现了故事主人公的处境, “Encouragement”体现了故事主人公内心的力量。27答案与解析:B推理判断题。由第六段中的Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces! 可知, 故事主人公的信被从一个囚室传到另一个囚室, 直到碎成纸屑。可以推出故事主人公的信在犯人之间很受欢迎。C【语篇解读】本文是说明文。一项新研究表明轻微饮酒有益于健康,对于饮酒多少研究人员建议由自己来决定。28答案与解析:C细节理解题。根据第一段第一句
82、可知,轻微饮酒有益于健康。29答案与解析:D词义猜测题。画线单词所在句子的开头“What sets the new study apart.”点明该句子要介绍新研究的不同之处,这种不同之处显然是和之前的研究作对比,故previous studies指以前的研究,所以previous“先前的”。故选D。30答案与解析:B段落大意题。在第三段Kunzmann指出因为之前的参与者都是老年人,所以无法判断年轻人喝酒会怎么样。而且也很难解释影响结果的其他的生活方式。由此体现了该研究具有局限性。31答案与解析:A细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第一、二句可知,研究人员建议饮酒多少由自己决定。D【语篇解读】本文
83、是一篇说明文,介绍了购物时纸袋的使用,并提出了一个问题:纸袋真的如人们想的那样对环境有益吗?32答案与解析:A考查推理判断。根据第二段第一句话“While both types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are better”可知,作者提出问题是为了引出下文的讨论“纸袋真的更好吗?”,故选A。33答案与解析:C考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“And the amount of water used to make them is twenty
84、times larger”可知,制作纸袋的用水量更大。故选C。34答案与解析:D考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的“Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper”可知,回收塑料比回收纸要更节约能源,故“the idea that paper bags are more environmentfriendly than plastic ones”可能很快会被放弃,故选D。35答案与解析:B考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“Theres no doubt t
