【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
Those who are used to looking through thousands of books in big bookstores may find Japan's Morioka Shoten a little strange. That's because this tiny bookstore that is located in Ginza, Tokyo sells only a single book at a time.
Opened in May 2015, Morioka Shoten is the brainchild of Yoshiyuki Morioka. The experienced bookseller began his career as a bookstore clerk in Tokyo's Kanda district before branching out to open his own store. It was here while organizing book readings that he realized that customers usually came into the store with one title in mind. Morioka began to wonder if a store could exist by selling many copies of just one single book. In November 2014, he partnered with his two friends, to establish a unique bookstore with the idea of “A Single Room, A Single Book.”
Like its offering, the bookstore is simple. The selections that are picked by Morioka change weekly and vary widely to attract customers with different interests. Recent choices include The True Deceiver, an award-winning Swedish novel by Tove Jansson, Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales, and a collection of artist Karl Blossfeldt's photography of plants. Morioka has also chosen books written by famous Japanese authors Mimei Ogawa and Akito Akagi.
To highlight his only offering, Morioka often uses clever methods. For example,when selling a book about flowers, he decorated his shop with the ones that had been mentioned in the book. He also encourages authors to hold talks and discussions so they can connect with customers. Morioka says his goal is for the customers to experience being inside a book, not just a bookstore!
Risky as the idea might seem, things appear to be going well. Morioka says he has sold over 2,100 books since he opened it. Things can get better considering that his bookstore is becoming increasingly popular not just among the locals but also visitors from other countries.
(1)What inspired Morioka to open such a bookstore?
A.A Swedish novel
B.His present partner
C.A bookstore clerk
D.His working experience
(2)Why is Morioka Shoten unique?
A.It is popular with foreigners.
B.It sells books of different topics.
C.It is decorated with colorful flowers.
D.It sells various copies of a book in a week.
(3)Why does Morioka encourage authors to hold talks?
A.To introduce his bookstore.
B.To advocate his philosophy.
C.To make books better understood.
D.To help readers connect with each other.
(4)What's the author's opinion about the bookstore's future?
A.Risky
B.Optimistic
C.Unpredictable
D.Hopeless
【答案】
(1)D
(2)D
(3)C
(4)B
【解析】本文是一篇記敘文,講的是有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的的書商Morioka創(chuàng)辦了屬于自己的獨(dú)一無二的書店。
⑴考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“The experienced bookseller began his career as a bookstore clerk in Tokyo's Kanda district before branching out to open his own store. It was here while organizing book readings that he realized that customers usually came into the store with one title in mind. Morioka began to wonder if a store could exist by selling many copies of just one single book”可知,他是一個(gè)有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的書商,他在這里組織讀物時(shí)他意識(shí)到顧客通常來書店是沖著一本書來的。Morioka開始想知道是否有一家書店只賣一種類型的書。于是他就開了這樣一家書店。是經(jīng)驗(yàn)鼓勵(lì)他開的書店。故選D。

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
Last week I took a journey deep into space, to the end of the solar system, and was pulled into a black hole. Then I took a trip to Brazil and experienced surviving an airplane crash in the jungle. After that, I joined some divers and went to the bottom of the ocean to see strange blind creatures that have never seen sunlight. For a break, I took part in some car racing and then skied down some of the most difficult mountains in the world. I ended my travels by meeting face to face with a dinosaur, the terrible T-Rex, and survived the experience!
I did all this in one great day at Futuroscope. Opened in 1987, Futuroscope is one of the largest space age parks in the world. This science and technology-based theme park in France uses the most advanced technology. Its 3-D cinemas and giant movie screens provide brand new experiences of the earth and beyond. Visitors can get close to parts of the world they have never experienced, going to the bottom of the ocean, flying through the jungle or visiting the edges of the solar system. The amazing, up-to-date information together with many opportunities for hands-on learning makes the world come to life in a completely new way for visitors. Learning centers throughout the park let visitors try their own scientific experiments, as well as learn more about space travel, the undersea world and much more.
I bought tickets for myself and my friends at the park's entrance, but tickets are also available online. Futuroscope is not only for indiviudals, but is also the perfect mix of fun and learning for class outings. Classes or other large groups that let Futuroscope know their plans in advance can get the group admission rate. For anyone coming from out of town, Futuroscope has many excellent hotels, most of which provide a shuttle service to the park. If driving, Futuroscope is within easy reach of the freeway. Plan your trip well before starting, since Futuroscope has so many shows, activities and great souvenir shops that it is difficult to see them all. Come ready to walk a lot—be sure to wear some comfortable sneakers or other walking shoes!
(1)What is Futuroscope?
A.A theme park for children in America.
B.A theme park that provides only fun and excitement.
C.A theme park that provides people with outstanding experience without leaving the earth and the present time.
D.A theme park that uses the most advanced technology to take people out of the earth and the present time.
(2)What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.The things I did at Futuroscope.
B.The history of Futuroscope.
C.General information about how to visit the park.
D.A general description of the park.
(3)According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A.Most of us will go to the bottom of the ocean or to the edges of the solar system.
B.Future theme parks are places for fun and excitement but not for learning.
C.Future theme parks allow people to see and do things without danger but with much money.
D.In the future theme parks, there are learning centers for people to try scientific experiments.

【題目】Scientists think they have answered a mystery: How some ocean creatures got so huge so quickly.
A few million years ago, the largest whales, averaged about 15 feet long. Then seemingly overnight, one type of whale, the toothless baleen whale(須鯨類)became huge. Modern blue whales get as big as 100 feet. Nicholas Pyenson of the Smithsonian Natural History Museum said, “Why is that?” ”It happened in the glance of an evolutionary eye, which makes it harder to figure out what happened,” said Graham Slater, lead author of the study. Their study has suggested an answer: Ice ages in the last 3 to 5 million years started it, changing the oceans and food supply for whales.
The researchers used fossil records of the smaller whales to create a family tree for baleen whales which include blue whales, humpbacks and right whales. Using computer simulations(模擬)and knowledge about how evolution works, they concluded that when the size changes started, the poles got colder, ice expanded and the water circulation in the oceans changed and winds shifted, Slater and Pyenson said cold water went deep and moved closer to the equator(赤道)and then eventually moved back up with small fish and other small animals that whales eat.
Baleen whale, which have no teeth, feed by eating huge amounts of fish they capture. Toothed whales, like sperm whales (抹香鯨), hunt individual fish, so the ocean chants that made food less evenly spread out didn’t affect them as much. But baleen whales hunt schools of fish.
Olivier Lambert at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences calls it “a really convincing situation”. But he said the lack of fossils in certain time periods is an issue. As oceans warm from man-made climate change, the seas will be more like it was when the whales smaller and they will have a more difficult time surviving.
【1】What does the author mean by “It happened in the glance of an evolutionary eye” in the second paragraph?
A. The change of baleen whales happened too quickly.
B. The change of baleen whales was too difficult to explore.
C. Researchers paid little attention to the change of baleen whales.
D. Researchers thought the change of baleen whales was unimportant.
【2】What played the key role in baleen whales’ becoming huge?
A. Man-made climate change.
B. Its eating a huge amount of fish.
C. The water circulation in the oceans.
D. The increase of food supply for whales.
【3】What do we know about sperm whales and blue whales according to the text?
A. Sperm whales eat more food.
B. Blue whaler live much longer.
C. Sperm whales prefer to hunt schools of fish.
D. Blue whales usually swallow schools of fish.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. There are no whale fossils now.
B. The whales may become even bigger.
C. Global warming has threatened the whales.
D. Olivier Lamber thinks the study is perfect.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents(文件) because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.
It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. “I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down ,” says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization.
Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.
Does all this mean environmental concerns have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away.
“I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling,” said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity.
The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.
(1)What does the underlined phases mean ________.
A.having a pain in my bone
B.foreseeing something
C.feeling something terrible
D.overhearing something
(2)Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because ________.
A.people are concerned about the environment
B.printers in many offices are working overtime
C.small companies need more hard copies
D.they see a growing market for printers
(3)Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is ________.
A.to encourage printing more quality documents
B.to develop new printers using recycled paper
C.to find new materials for making paper
D.to plant more fast-growing trees
(4)What would be the best title for the text ?
A.Computers and Printers
B.E-mail and the Business World
C.Internet Revolution and Environment
D.Modern Technology and New Markets

【題目】Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?
UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their cooperation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.
Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神經(jīng)元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all. Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest “We didn’t take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.
【1】The underlined sentence “the opposite is true” in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees ________.
A. compete for survival B. protect their own wealth
C. depend on each other D. provide support for dying trees
【2】“Mother trees” are extremely important because they ________.
A. look the largest in size in the forest
B. pass on nutrition to young trees
C. seem more likely to be cut down by humans
D. know more about the complex “tree societies”
【3】The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A. how “tree societies” work B. how trees grow old
C. how forestry industry develops D. how young trees survive
【4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Old Trees Communicate Like Humans
B. Young Trees are In Need Of Protection
C. Trees Are More Awesome Thart You Think
D. Trees Contribute To Our Society

【題目】閱讀理解
Eat your vegetables.Wash your hands.Always say“please”and“thank you”.We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money,we often have little to say.As a result,our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners,but without any idea how to manage their money.
Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives:
Show them the future.If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1.000,invest(投資)it at 8% and add $100 every month,by the time she's 65,she would have $980,983!
Be careful of credit(信用).Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history,but they must be used responsibly,which means paying off your debt in time.Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card,you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.
Teach patience.Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150.Rather than paying the cash,give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside,say,$15 each week,he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.
Provide incentive(激勵(lì)機(jī)制).Tell your children the importance of saving."For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend,you agree to add another dollar to the pot,"says Cathy Pareto,expert in money planning.
Explain your values.Values and money are deeply intertwined(糾纏在一起),says Eilleen Gallo,co-author of The Financially Intelligent Parent.When your child demands that you buy something,explain why you really don't want to buy it.“You might say,‘I'd rather save that money for your education,'”advises Gallo.Every time you spend or don't spend money,you have a chance to share your values.
(1)The writer gives some basics to help_____in a proper way.
A.parents teach their children how to deal with money
B.children follow their parents' instructions
C.children manage their money
D.parents save their money
(2)The writer thinks that,if a child wants to buy something,his parents should______.
A.give him some regular pocket money
B.encourage him to put money away for it
C.explain to him the importance of investment
D.tell him to save some money by using a credit card
(3)What leads the writer to write this article?
A.Parents want to know how to educate their children.
B.He wants to share his good ideas about money matters.
C.He thinks money management the most important for children.
D.Parents care little about their children's management of money.
