【題目】Since his early childhood, G. A. Minton has always been a faithful fan of science fiction and horror. Whenever a scary movie was playing at the local theatre, he was there in attendance with his friends, loudly screaming in terror.

In his everyday life, Minton likes playing the game of golf most, having lettered on his high school golf team. In addition to writing, he also enjoys reading, traveling, fishing, swimming, working out, listening to hard rock music, and watching great movies－especially those about horror, science fiction, mystery and comedy.

Strangely enough, it was only after Minton was knocked down by a drunk driver and suffered a closed-head injury that he developed a new found passion for writing. After the car accident, he suffered from both memory loss and problems communicating with others, which frustrated him to no end. He had to go to see his doctor on a regular basis and for weeks he had to take medicine used by patients who are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Luckily, his brain slowly began to mend itself.

At the end of the healing process, something was very different. He noticed that he had developed a strong urge to write down a story that had formed in his mind. That’s how his first novel Trisomy XXI was born. He penned（寫作）it in only three months. He began with chapter one and wrote in a freestyle manner—almost in a stream of consciousness. The narrative flowed freely from his vivid imagination, creating a thrilling tale of terror that is formed from an ordered sequence of events.

One could think that the damaged neurons（神經(jīng)元）had rearranged themselves into a different pattern, and thus improving the creative elements in his brain. Besides, stranger things have happened! He has recently completed his second novel. Currently, his brain is busy at work, seriously processing the text for another -story of the terror-one that will both entertain and horrify its unsuspecting reader!

【1】From Paragraph 2, we know that G.

A. Minion .

A. likes writing best in high school

B. is a man of multiple interests

C. wants to become a golf player

D. hopes to make a horror movie

【2】What happened to Minton after the accident?

A. His memory was improved. B. His brain was damaged permanently.

C. His creative ability was inspired. D. He suffered from Alzheimer’s disease.

【3】What can we infer about Minton’s first novel from the text?

A. It was written in a strict manner.

B. It was intended to amuse crazy readers.

C. It was based on Minton’s own experience.

D. It might not be written but for Minton’s injury.

【4】Which of .he following can best describe Minton’s experience?

A. Good luck always comes out of misfortune.

B. A bad beginning makes a good ending.

C. It’s hard sailing when there is no wind.

D. More haste, less speed.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】D

【4】A

【解析】 本文為記敘文。G. A. Minton從小就一直是科幻小說和恐怖小說的忠實粉絲，生活中的他興趣廣泛。不幸的是被醉酒司機撞倒頭部受傷。事故發(fā)生后，在大腦慢慢地開始自我修復(fù)的過程中，增強了他的創(chuàng)造性，激發(fā)了他創(chuàng)作的激情，他開始寫作創(chuàng)作。

【1】【解題剖析】此題屬于推理判斷題中的根據(jù)事實細節(jié)，推斷合理信息。答案需要從文章的Minton likes playing the game of golf most, …In addition to writing, he also enjoys reading, traveling, fishing, swimming, working out, listening to hard rock music, and watching great movies.進行推斷。

【答案定位】第二段的內(nèi)容Minton likes playing the game of golf most, …In addition to writing, he also enjoys reading, traveling, fishing, swimming, working out, listening to hard rock music, and watching great movies可知G. A. Minton日常生活中喜歡玩高爾夫游戲，寫作，閱讀，旅游，釣魚，鍛煉等，可知他是一個興趣廣泛的人。

【推理關(guān)系】題干From Paragraph 2, we know that G文章內(nèi)容Minton likes playing the game of golf most, …In addition to writing, he also enjoys reading, traveling, fishing, swimming, working out, listening to hard rock music, and watching great movies.

likes playing the game of golf most, …In addition to writing, he also enjoys reading,...B 選項is a man of multiple interests

根據(jù)事實細節(jié)，推斷合理信息。推理題要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基礎(chǔ)上，作出一定判斷和推論，從而得到文章的隱含意義和深層意義。推理題所涉及的內(nèi)容可能是文中某一句話，也可是某幾句話，但做題的指導思想都是以文字信息為依據(jù)，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根據(jù)的推理，也不能根據(jù)表面文字信息做多步推理。也就是說，要做到判斷有據(jù), 推論有理, 忠實原文。切忌用自己的觀點代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面結(jié)論。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段Strangely enough, it was only after Minton was knocked down by a drunk driver and suffered a closed-head injury that he developed a new found passion for writing.及第四段內(nèi)容可知在Minton被醉酒司機撞倒后頭部受傷，這個事故后，他才有了新的寫作激情。在大腦慢慢的恢復(fù)過程中，他才有了強烈的寫作欲望，寫了他的第一部小說。由此可推斷出是在事故后他的創(chuàng)造才能被激發(fā)。故選C項

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段的內(nèi)容One could think that the damaged neurons（神經(jīng)元）had rearranged themselves into a different pattern, and thus improving the creative elements in his brain.可知，人們可能認為受損的神經(jīng)元已經(jīng)重新排列成一種不同的模式，從而改善了大腦中的創(chuàng)造性元素。由此可推斷出，如果他沒有受傷的話，就也許沒有寫作。故選D項。

【4】主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，文中的G. A. Minton從小就一直是科幻小說和恐怖小說的忠實粉絲，生活中的他興趣廣泛。不幸的是被醉酒司機撞倒頭部受傷。在康復(fù)的過程，激發(fā)了他創(chuàng)作的激情，寫起了小說�？梢赃@么說他是因禍得福了。分析選項（A．好運總是來自于不幸；B. 惡始必有好結(jié)局；C. 無風難駛船；D. 欲速則不達)），可知A項符合題意。

【題目】When the sun sets in Hong Kong, the city skyline comes alive. Billboard（廣告牌）lights flash, and light up the crowded streets. The colorful lights from the tall buildings are one of the city’s main attractions.

“Oh, my god. The lights are so amazing. We love it. It’s so nice.” said one visitor.

But this appreciation is not shared by everyone in Hong Kong. Lat year then government reported a record number of complaints. The curtains may be drawn. But residents argue the bright light outside is hard to escape. “We receive some complaints about the light pollution. They find it very hard to sleep or they have disturbance from the light outside.”

Scientists at the University of Hong Kong spent 18 months studying levels of light pollution and collecting more than 5 million measurements. They found Hong Kong one of the world’s worst “victims”. The lights pollution condition in Hong Kong was extremely severe. Particular in cities, the night sky brightness, as well as the lights, is a few hundred times over the level of that of a night sky without light pollution. In cities such as Seoul, London, Shanghai and Paris, billboard lighting is under control. And there are punishments for people who go against the law.

But in Hong Kong, there are no laws. A volunteer regulation called Charter of External Light（戶外燈光約章）encourages visitors to switch off between 11 p.m. and 7 p.m. The critics say it’s not enough to make a difference. The government says 4800 businessmen have signed up to the Charter so far. And it’s satisfied that it’s working.

But not everyone is convinced and some residents are taking upon themselves to act. Zoe Chow led a campaign to have a commercial building switch off their midnight. She won but she believes the lights will eventually turn back on. “I know that the building has signed the Charter of External Light. But it is voluntary, not mandatory（強制的）.

【1】What is the complaint about in the third paragraph?

A. The ill-designed billboard.

B. The unattractive night lights.

C. The light pollution at night.

D. The city noise and disturbance.

【2】Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?

A. Billboard lighting is under control in all big cities.

B. Scientists have found ways to stop the light pollution.

C. The government attaches little importance to the light pollution.

D. The Charter of External Light is aimed to help reduce the light pollution.

【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Bright lights in Hong Kong may continue to shine.

B. People are satisfied with the role the Charter plays.

C. Residents will never start a campaign against the light pollution.

D. The Charter of External Light will no longer have an effect.

【4】What is this text mainly about?

A. Hongkong’s light pollution law.

B. Severe light pollution in Hongkong.

C. Pollution problems in big cities.

D. The Solution to light pollutions.

【題目】A volunteering vacation can be a meaningful way to spend your time off, but to make the trip satisfying both for you and the cause you are supporting, several factors need to be considered. Here is some advice on planning the ideal vacation:

【1】 There are hundreds of causes to volunteer for, and finding one close to your heart will lead to a more worthwhile trip. Possibilities include wildlife conservation, education, environmental protection, health and nutrition. Also, consider any personal and professional skills that you can contribute. 【2】

Choose your destination and setting. Your volunteering trip will be more enjoyable if you use it to reach a favorite destination. If Southeast Asia is on your mind, helping with tree-planting programs in Bali would benefit the environment and let you appreciate the scenic island. 【3】

Is volunteering outdoors in a hot or snowy climate appealing, or do you prefer being in an air-conditioned office?

Ask the right questions. 【4】 Be aware that most volunteering programs require a weeklong commitment. Ask other questions like: How many hours of work per day is required? Are there days off? Will you be working individually or as part of a team? And what are the goals of your efforts? 【5】 Ask if the cost includes only accommodations or meals and transportation too.

A. Figure out your cause.

B. Find a well-respected organization.

C. And think about the surroundings you want.

D. Your duty there is to help, as well as to rest and relax.

E. The more you know about your trip, the more successful it will be.

F. Despite the word “volunteer”, these vacations usually cost you some money.

G. If you’re a doctor, for example, working at a health clinic could be an ideal fit.
