【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
Many people believe that they will be happy once they arrive at some specific goal they set for themselves. However, more often than not, once you arrive “there” you will still feel dissatisfied, and move your “there” vision to yet another point in the future. By always chasing (追尋) after another “there”, you are never really appreciating what you already have right “here”. It is important for human beings to keep sober-minded(頭腦清醒的) about the age-old drive to look beyond the place where you now stand. On one hand, your life is developed by your dreams and aspirations (抱負(fù)). On the other hand, these drives can pull you farther and farther from your enjoyment of your life right now.
To be grateful means you are thankful for what you have right now. Gratitude (感激) fills your heart with the joyful feeling and allows you to fully appreciate everything that arises on your path. As you try hard to keep your focus on the present moment, you can experience the full wonder of “here”.
There are many ways to develop gratitude. Here are just a few suggestions you may wish to try:
◆ Imagine what your life would be like if you lost all that you had. This will most surely remind you of how much you do appreciate it.
◆ Make a list each day of all that you are grateful for, so that you can stay conscious (有意識的) daily of your blessings. Do this especially when you are feeling as though you have nothing to feel grateful for. Or spend a few minutes before you go to sleep giving thanks for all that you have.
◆ Spend time offering assistance (幫助) to those who are less fortunate than you, so that you may gain a new perspective (觀點(diǎn)).
What really matters is that you create a space in your consciousness for appreciation for all that you have right now, so that you may live more happily in your present moment.
(1)According to the first paragraph we know ___________.
A.many people feel satisfied with what they have right now
B.aspirations can pull a person farther from his present life
C.none can be sober-minded about his dreams and aspirations
D.we should be busy with chasing one after another “there”
(2)Gratitude can NOT ____________.
A.fill your heart with happy feelings
B.allow you to fully appreciate your “here”
C.make people experience the wonder of “here”
D.drive people to give up their future
(3)If we want to develop gratitude, we should better NOT____________.
A.check out what we lose everyday
B.give thanks for all that we have before sleeping
C.help others who are less fortunate than us
D.make a list each day of all that we should thank for

【答案】
(1)B
(2)D
(3)A
【解析】本文講述的是人們總是會被利益欲望驅(qū)使,不知道滿足,而心存感恩,你的心靈就充滿愉悅,你就能真正領(lǐng)會人生路上的種種體驗(yàn)。感恩之心需要經(jīng)常加強(qiáng)。

(1)B推理判斷題。第一段講述的是人總是疲于追逐一個又一個的彼岸,從未真正欣賞、珍惜已經(jīng)擁有的一切,不能接近生活在現(xiàn)實(shí)。故選B。

(2)D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段Gratitude (感激) fills your heart with the joyful feeling and allows you to fully appreciate everything that arises on your path. As you try hard to keep your focus on the present moment, you can experience the full wonder of “here”.可知心存感恩,你的心靈就充滿愉悅,你就能真正領(lǐng)會人生路上的種種體驗(yàn)。如果你努力把眼光鎖定在此時此刻,你就能感受它的美妙之處。故選D。

(3)A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章提出的三點(diǎn)建議:想象你的生活會像如果你失去你擁有的一切。這將是最肯定會提醒你有多么的欣賞它。每天列出所有你感激的事物,這樣你可以保持清醒。(幫助)花時間幫助那些沒有你那么幸運(yùn)的人,這樣你可能會獲得一個新的視角(觀點(diǎn))。故選A。

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
Australia's koalas could die out within 30 years unless immediate action is taken to stop the losing in population, according to researchers. They say development, climate change and bushfires have all combined to reduce the number of wild koalas sharply.
The Australian Koala Foundation said a recent survey showed the population could have dropped by more than half in the past six years. The number of koalas was once estimated to be more than 100,000, but now is as few as 43,000.
The foundation collected field data from 1,800 sites and 80,000 trees to calculate the numbers. In one area in northern Queensland estimated to have 20,000 koalas a decade ago, a team of eight people could not find a single animal in four days of searching.
The foundation said besides problems caused by cutting down forests, hotter and drier conditions because of global warming had reduced the nutritional value of their main food, eucalyptus (桉樹) leaves, leading to poor nutrition for them. Koalas, which live in the forests in Australia's east and south, are very picky about what types of the leaves they eat.
Foundation chief Deborah Tabart said: “The koalas are missing everywhere we look. It's really no tree, no me. If you keep cutting down trees you don't have any koalas.”She is hoping the new figures will persuade the government's Threatened Species Steering Committee (TSSC) to list the koala as threatened. But committee chairman Bob Beeton said a decision was not likely recently and the koala's status as one of the country's favorite animals would not be a factor. “There's a number of species which are attractive and people have special feelings towards them. We don't consider that,” Mr Beeton said.
(1)The writer gives the example of the area in northern Queensland in Paragraph 3 to show that _____.
A.the forests are being damaged heavily
B.the environment is being polluted seriously
C.koalas usually live in wild mountainous areas
D.the number of koalas is dropping quickly
(2)Global warming is an important cause of koalas' reduction because _____.
A.koalas can hardly stand the hot weather
B.the leaves koalas eat are losing nutritional value
C.koalas cannot get enough water to drink
D.the leaves koalas eat cannot grow in hotter and drier weather
(3)According to Bob Beeton, _____.
A.the koala is one of his favorite animals
B.a decision will be made to protect koalas in the future
C.they needn't pay special attention to koalas
D.koalas needn't be protected at all

Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving (鋪砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.
Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱)than areas with more rainfall, but, in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.
In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there's a lot we can do to lower the number.
To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher (洗碗機(jī)) only when it is full. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling (回收) batteries instead of throwing them away.
A. Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages.
B. Help your parents fix any leaks (漏水的地方) in your home.
C. Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too.
D. Some measures to save water should be taken by the government.
E. A major part of the water we use every day is the water from lakes or rivers.
F. A major part of the water we use every day is ground water.
G. You can take steps to save water in your home.
