【題目】閱讀理解
There were smiling children all the way.Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway,wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang.Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives.This is the simple village people of Malaysia.I was moved.
I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car,so this was the first time I was on a train.I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread.I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face.I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia.Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore,so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past.As we went beyond the city,I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green.Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive;I decided to wave back.
From then on my journey became interesting.I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life.Then everything came alive.The mountains seemed to speak to me.Even the trees were smiling.I stared at everything a if I was looking at it for the first time.
The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry.I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 p.m. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth.I looked at the people all around me.They all looked beautiful.When my uncle arrived with a smile,I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug(擁抱).I had never done this before.He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile.We walked arm in arm to his car.
I looked forward to the return journey.

【解析】本文作者通過自己乘火車之旅的所見所聞告訴我們:微笑能夠讓人高興,能夠使人心情愉悅。
(1)推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的I did not particularly relish(享受)the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.可知作者本來認為這次旅行是沒趣的。所以答案是C。
(2)推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的描述以及本段最后一句This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.可知。另外根據(jù)文章內容也可以判斷出馬來西亞的村民對作者的觸動是很大的。所以答案是A。
(3)詞義猜測題。根據(jù)relish所在的句子I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread.可知作者認為自己不會喜歡這次長途旅行,所以買了一打雜志翻來覆去地讀。由此可知選B。relish表示“愛好”。所以答案是B。
(4)推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. 經(jīng)常所有家庭站在他們的家外面,揮手微笑,好像火車上的那些人是他們最喜歡的親戚。This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved這是簡樸的馬來西亞村民,我很受感動。與第四段的Even the trees were smiling.甚至樹也在微笑。所以答案是D。

【題目】根據(jù)短文內容,選擇最佳答案。
“Did you hear what happened to Adam Last Friday?” Lindsey whispers to Tori.
With her eyes shining, Tori brags, “You bet I did, Sean told me two days ago.”
Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Freedman. I can tell you that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren't very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip(閑話). I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.
An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic-breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out-that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.
If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? Theanswer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor(傳言) can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don't. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group.” In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority(優(yōu)越感).
Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The dos and don'ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.
The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, thing about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.
(1)The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to .
A.introduce a topic
B.present an argument
C.describe the characters
D.clarify his writing purpose
(2)Professor David Wilson thinks that gossip can .
A.provide students with written rules
B.help people watch their own behaviors
C.force schools to improve student handbooks
D.attract the police's attention to group behaviors
(3)What advice does the author give in the passage?
A.Never become a gossiper
B.Stay away from gossipers
C.Don't let gossip turn into lies
D.Think twice before you gossip.

【題目】D

Would You Pay To Eat In A Dumpster(垃圾)?

Most of us dont reach for that gnarled(多的) carrot when selecting our produce at the local supermarket. Thats exactly why Americans waste up to 40% of edible food every year. This unbelievable number has sparked the ugly food movement, inspiring many companies to sell ugly fruit and vegetables to consumers, rather than throwing them in the trash.

One San Francisco organization is taking a unique approach. The Salvage Supperclub hosts fancy dinners inside dumpsters where they serve dishes entirely prepared with food that would have otherwise gone to waste.

Josh Treuhaft, founder of these ugly food dinners, originally came up with the idea to bring about the awareness of Americas food waste problem. There is undeveloped potential in their food that for some reason, not to their own fault, is going to waste, he told Seekers Laura Ling.

Treuhaft isnt alone in his effort to reduce Americas food waste. A change.org petition last year called for Whole Foods to become part of the ugly food movement. They sold misshapen fruits and vegetables in Northern California stores.

Selling imperfect produce is still relatively rare right now, which can be partially attributed to a supply issue rather than a lack of willing participants. Raleys, a Sacramento-based grocery chain, started an ugly food pilot program called Real Good, but discontinued it after 90 days saying they had some challenges sourcing the product. A grower might have large amounts of ugly produce one year due to terrible weather, but much less the next year if the weather is better. Harvests constantly vary and retailers are more likely to buy ugly produce in large number rather than just a few pounds at a time.

This is why organizations like the Salvage Supperclub are playing an important role in the prevention of food waste. The Salvage Supperclub takes it a step further by not only buying the ugly produce, but turning it into a good dining experience as well.

【題文1What does the underlined words edible food in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Healthy food. B. Expensive food.

C. Food suitable to eat. D. Food grown locally.

【題文2Why does the Salvage Supperclub have dinners inside the dumpsters?

A. To share their fancy ideas. B. To warn people not to waste.

C. To show waste should be reused. D. To advise people not to throw dumpsters.

【題文3Whats Josh Treuhafts advice to reduce Americas food waste?

A. People should make full use of ugly food.

B. People should join in the ugly food movement.

C. People should be more aware of food shortage.

D. People should develop their potential in producing food.

【題文4What makes Raleys stop its Real Good after 90 days of its operation?

A. Lack of sources of product. B. Retailers pursuing larger profit.

C. Bad harvests due to bad weather. D. Peoples unwillingness to buy imperfect produce.

The ancient Olympic Games began in a year 776 BC. They held at Olympia in Greece every four years, for almost 12 centuries, until AD 394. In the ancient Olympics, by tradition the athletes were all men but they had to compete wearing no clothes. Today, both male and female athletes from around the world can take part, no matter whatever nation they come from. Chinese athletes have great contributed to the Olympic Games where many of them won gold medals, such as Xu Haifeng, Deng Yaping and Liu Xiang, the first Asian to winning the gold medal in the men's 110-meter hurdles.

The final event in the Olympics is the marathon, which is also usually the most exciting. As the leader come into the stadium to run the last few metres of the 42-kilometre race, the crowd rises to its foot to shout and cheer. The marathon had been an Olympic event since the modern games started in 1896. At first the distance was 40 kilometres. In 1908, however, at the London Olympics, it was changed. The marathon is the final Olympic event because it is thought to be hardest. But experts believe that most people-even people who are not particular good at sport-can run a marathon, if they train for it.
