15.The plan had been made to create a beautiful nature park with a large man-made lake on the outer parts of the city of Zhengzhou,the capital of Henan Province.However,thanks to a terrible trick played by nature,what the officials have ended up with,is a natural sandy mess!
The government wanted to create a beautiful place where people of this busy industrial city could come to relax.But things did not quite turn out that way---shortly after digging up thousands of tons of sand,the underground water dried up.As a result,the dry sand has changed into a Sahara-like desert.While official reports show that the sand is piled up to 10meters high,some people say that it is ten times more or about a 100-feet high in certain areas.
If that is not bad enough,the sand hills that now spread across an area the size of four football fields,have influenced the environment.What's worse is that on windy days,the dry sand moves into the city center,making it almost impossible to drive and forcing people to wear face masks and protective eyewear to prevent the sand from getting into their eyes,nose,and mouth.
In an act of trying to keep the sand and provide the illusion(幻想) of green fields,the officials have even tried covering it with a green plastic netting.However,that has not done much to improve the terrible situation!
As you can imagine,many of Zhengzhou's residents are upset by the disaster.They think that desert wasteland that looks nothing like the green landscape they were promised,has resulted in polluting their pleasant city environment.Some think it is even stopping businessmen from coming to the city.

21.The author may agree that it isB    to build a large man-made lake.
A.possible
B.impossible
C.great
D.interesting
22.The dry sand has changed into a Sahara-like desert because.D
A.the weather in Zhengzhou is too dry
B.there are enough trees in Zhengzhou
C.they haven't finished digging the lake
D.there is no underground water
23.What kind of pollution have the sand hills caused?C
A.Light pollution.
B.Water pollution.
C.Air pollution.
D.Sound pollution.
24.What do Zhengzhou's residents think of the man-made lake?A
A.Scary.
B.Small.
C.Helpful.
D.Great.

分析 鄭州市原計劃建立一個有大型人工湖的美麗的自然公園,但挖出成千上萬噸的沙子后不久,地下水源枯竭,干沙猶如撒哈拉沙漠,風(fēng)吹干沙,漫天飛揚,破壞了當(dāng)?shù)刂脖慌c環(huán)境,給人們的生活造成了很大的影響.

解答 21.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第一段的what the officials have ended up with,is anatural sandy mess可知,最后政府的結(jié)局是一個自然的沙堆,所以作者可能認(rèn)為建人工湖是不可能的,故選B.
22.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段的the underground water dried up,As aresult,the dry sand has changed into a Sahara-like desert.可知,干沙變成了撒哈拉樣的沙漠是因為地下水干涸了,所以沒有地下水是主要原因,故選D.
23.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段的making it almost impossible to drive and forcingpeople to wear face masks and protective eyewear to prevent the sand fromgetting into their eyes,nose,and mouth.可知,使人們幾乎不可能開車并強迫人們戴上口罩和保護(hù)眼鏡,以防止沙子進(jìn)入他們的眼睛,鼻子和嘴.所以干沙造成了空氣污染,故選C.
24.A  推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段的Theythink that desert wasteland that looks nothing like the green landscape theywere promised,has resulted in polluting their pleasant city environment.Somethink it is even stopping businessmen from coming to the city.可知,人工湖污染了城市環(huán)境,一些人認(rèn)為它甚至阻止了商人來到這個城市.所以鄭州市民認(rèn)為人工湖是可怕的,故選A.

點評 本文是新聞報道類閱讀,主要考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題.在做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時,首先根據(jù)題目要求迅速在文章里找出相應(yīng)的段落、句子或短語.認(rèn)真比較選項和文中細(xì)節(jié)的區(qū)別,在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

Dear Editor,
I'm writing to tell you about a shocking incident that happened in Beijing Zoo the afternoon of Feb.23rd.
I was visiting the zoo that afternoon while I heard bears roaring terribly.I hurried to the place where the bears lived at.I saw the black bear badly injured and one of them rolling on the ground painful.It was hurt too seriously to move a foot.The people around were shocked,angry and blaming the wrongdoer.I learned that it was a student from a famous university in Beijing who cause the trouble.He poured sulphuric acid(硫酸) on the bears pretend to feed them.
What the shame!Animals are our friends but something must be done to prevent them from been injured.

3."Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,"said David Belle,the founder of park our ( also called free running-a kind of extreme sport).
Do you love running?It is a good exercise,yet many people find it boring.But what if making your morning jog a creative one?Like jumping from walls and over gaps,and ground rolls?Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale?Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way.It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.
Yes,that's park our,an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible,getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of thehuman body.Park our is considered an extreme sport.As its participants dash around a city,they may jump over fences,run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.
Park our can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds,but its participants see parkour much more than that.Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of thephilosophy(理念) behind parkour.This is the same as life.You must determine your destination,go straight,jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life,to reach the destination successfully.A parkour lover said,"I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life,my way to do everything."
Another philosophy we've learnt from parkour is freedom.It can be done by anyone,at any time,anywhere in the world.It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.

58.Parkour has become popular throughout the world because ofC.
A.its risks and tricks     
B.its founder,David Belle
C.the film,Casino Royale

59.The underlined word"obstacles"in Paragraph 2is closest in meaning to"A".
A.barriers        
B.objects     
C.roofs       
D.streets
60.Which of the following is true of parkour?B
A.It is a good but boring sport.

20.Forgiveness (寬。
To forgive is a virtue(美德),but no one has ever said it is easy.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate.However,forgiveness is possible,and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.People who forgive show less sadness,anger and stress and more hopefulness,according to a recent research.
(36)B Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. (37)F You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you love.
Don't wait for an apology.Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize.They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. (38)G Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender (冒犯者).Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain.Instead of focusing on your mounded feelings,learn to look for the love,beauty and kindness around you.
(39)D If you understand your offender,you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness,fear,and even love.You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
Don't forget to forgive yourself.(40)E But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it.

A.Why should you forgive?
B.How should you start to forgive?
C.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D.Try to see things from your offender's angle(角度).
E.For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F.To make your anger die away,try a simple stress-management technique.
G.If you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time.

1.A generation of parents raised according to the permissive principles of postwar childcare experts is rediscovering the importance of saying"No"to their children.They are beginning to reclaim the house as their own.Even spanking(打屁股)is back.
While today's parents do not want to return to the Victorian era (時代)-when children were seen,spanked,but not heard-there is a growing acknowledgement that thelaissez-faireapproach produced a generation of children running rings around puzzled parents struggling to restore order.
Janthea Brigden,a trainer with Parent Network,says:"The problem is that parents don't want all that controlling things.What they want is to be able to discipline (管教) their children through teaching and encouraging."
According to Steve Biddulph,the author of More Secrets of Happy Children,the permissive era was often just an excuse to ignore children.He believes discipline involves firm but friendly teaching and does not need to involve punishment.He teaches a method called"stand and think",where a child is helped to figure out what is wrong and how to get it right.Mr.Biddulph understands parents using spanking,but lie is against it."The happiest children are those who know Mum and Dad are in charge.As children grow into their teens,more negotiation can take place,such as:Prove you can be home safely by 1l pm,and we might let you stay out till midnight."
"There is no good evidence that an occasional,properly administered spanking is harmful in any way."says John Rosemond,an American who has won a huge following by calling for"parent power".It is pure nonsense to believe that restricting children to their room as a punishment could make them have negative feelings about the room and cause sleep problems.
Mr.Rosemond tracks the overturning of traditional family values to the end of the Second World War.He blames the change of the American family into a child-centered,self-respect-oriented (以…為導(dǎo)向) unit on psychologists and social workers,who for 30 years have weakened traditional approaches.Previous generations of American parents raised children not by  the book,but by self-evident truth,he says.Children should be seen and hot heard.If you make your bed,you'll have to lie in it.He says that those phrases contain time-honored understanding and principles that helped children to develop what we refer to as the"three Rs"of  parenting:respect,responsibility and resourcefulness.

67.Which is closest to the meaning of the underlined word"laissez-faire"in the second paragraph?A
A.Let it be.      B.Go for it.  C.Get it right.   D.Take it easy.
68.If his child did something wrong,Steve Biddulph wouldD
A.give him a good beating
B.lock him up in a dark room
C.a(chǎn)sk him to stand in a corner for hours
D.help him find out the problem and solution
69.By mentioning the underlined part in the last paragraph,Mr.RosemondD.
A.blames parents for ignoring children's rights
B.reminds parents to communicate more with children
C.encourages parents to involve children more in family affairs
D.explains how previous generations of parents raised children
70.What does the passage mainly talk aboutC.
 A.The causes of discipline problems.
 B.The best way to discipline children.
 C.Different opinions on ways of parenting.
 D.Differences between parents of different times.
