【答案】

【1】G

【2】F

【3】A

【4】D

【5】E

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。一個(gè)充滿熱情、意志堅(jiān)定、準(zhǔn)備迎接生活磨難的人，是我們都想成為的人。如果你想成為那樣的人，那么你的第一步就是永遠(yuǎn)保持靈感。文章告訴我們需要保持靈感的四個(gè)原因。

【1】

結(jié)合后文He/She is a person who wakes up every day more inspired than the next. Inspiration will lead you anywhere you want to go.可知他/她是一個(gè)每天醒來都比第二天更有靈感的人。靈感會帶你去任何你想去的地方。由此可知，本句是在引出后文一個(gè)有靈感的人是不會在挑戰(zhàn)面前退縮的人。故G選項(xiàng)“一個(gè)有靈感的人是不會在挑戰(zhàn)面前退縮的人”符合上下文語境，故選G。

【2】

本句為第一段最后一句，有啟示下文的作用，結(jié)合后文主要說明了需要保持靈感的四個(gè)原因，故F選項(xiàng)“以下是你應(yīng)該一直保持靈感的另外四個(gè)原因”符合上下文語境，故選F。

【3】

根據(jù)后文I’ll give you some names of people who have changed the path of history and I’ll let you determine if they were inspired. Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, Mother Theresa.可知我會給你們一些改變歷史道路的人的名字，讓你們確定他們是否受到了啟發(fā)。Albert Einstein，Steve Jobs， Theresa修女。由此可知，后文列舉了有靈感改變了世界的人，那么本句應(yīng)當(dāng)是在引出下文，指出缺乏靈感的人很少能改變世界。故A選項(xiàng)“缺乏靈感的人很少能改變世界”符合上下文語境，故選A。

【4】

根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容Mark Zuckerberg was inspired by the potential of a great social network. Four English musicians were inspired to create great music thereby creating the Beatles. Socrates was inspired by his own curiosity and ended up creating Western Philosophy as we know it today.可知Mark Zuckerberg被一個(gè)偉大的社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)的潛力所啟發(fā)。四位英國音樂家受到啟發(fā)創(chuàng)作了偉大的音樂，從而創(chuàng)造了Beatles樂隊(duì)。Socrates受到自己好奇心的啟發(fā)，最終創(chuàng)立了我們今天所知的西方哲學(xué)。由此可知，后文這些著名人物的例子說明：靈感是一切偉大成就的必要因素，沒有靈感就不會有偉大的成就。故D選項(xiàng)“沒有靈感就不會有偉大的成就”符合上下文語境，故選D。

【5】

根據(jù)小標(biāo)題Inspiration and genius—one and the same.(靈感和天才是一體)以及后文In fact, many who we consider geniuses today were nothing more than extremely inspired individuals.可知事實(shí)上，許多我們今天認(rèn)為是天才的人只不過是極具靈感的個(gè)人。由此可知，本句是在說明天才不必非的是智商非常高的人。故E選項(xiàng)“你不必智商達(dá)到150才被認(rèn)為是天才”符合上下文語境，故選E。

【題目】 Something’s happening at the lowest point on our planet.

The Dead Sea, a salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel and Palestine to the west, is shrinking at an alarming rate - about 3. 3 feet per year, according to the environmentalist group Eco Peace Middle East. And human actions are largely to blame.

"It's not just like one country is punishing the Dead Sea: it's more like the whole area,” said photographer Moritz Kustner, who visited the area in February to work on his series "The Dying Dead Sea”.

The Dead Sea needs water from the other natural sources surrounding it, such as the Jordan River basin. But around the 1960s, some of the water sources it relied upon were diverted. Israel, for instance, built a pipeline during that time so it could supply water throughout the country.

Mineral extraction industries are another main reason the water levels are falling, experts say. The Dead Sea's minerals have been used as medicine and can often be found in cosmetics and other consumer products.

And then, of course, there's the Middle East's hot, dry climate, which makes it difficult for the lake to replenish itself. Last year, Israel and Jordan signed a $900 million deal in an effort to keep the Dead Sea's water levels stable. It includes building a canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea which would be able to not only supply water to Israel and Jordan but also to pump water into the Dead Sea.

But for now, Kustner shows us that the Dead Sea remains very much a place of interest, with people from all over the world going there to swim in its salty waters

The Dead Sea, known as the Salt Sea in the language of Hebrew, is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. And because of what has been happening over the years, the salt is only getting saltier.

【1】How many reasons for the Dead Seas shrinking does the author mention in the text?

A.OneB.Two

C.ThreeD.Four

【2】What can we learn about the Dead Sea 's minerals?

A.They have practical value.

B.They are controlled by Israel.

C.They can be extracted very easily.

D.They are mainly used in heavy industry.

【3】What does the underlined word "replenish” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?

A.To clean something.B.To improve something.

C.To fill something again.D.To find something again.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A.What we should do to save the Dead Sea.B.More people travel to the Dead Sea.

C.Why the Dead Sea is salty.D.The Dead Sea is drying out.

Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in or because they worry that other kids might make fun of them if they don't go along with the group.【2】The idea that everyone's doing it can influence some kids to leave their better judgment or their common sense behind.

It can really help to have at least one other peer or friend who is willing to say 'no' too.【4】It's great to have friends with values similar to yours. If you choose friends who don't use drugs, smoke cigarettes or lie to their parents, then you probably won't do these things either, even if other kids do.

【題目】 Chef Jeremy Pang and a team of helpers are on a task to help feed London’s homeless and those facing food shortage in London. Pang and about 180 volunteers wore aprons and sharpened their cooking skills to make 4,000 dumplings, 700 noodle stir-fries, and 700 liters of curry in just four hours on a cold morning in Borough Market.

Now in its third year, the aim of the event, which is called Wok for 1,000, is to raise awareness of food waste and food shortage throughout the United Kingdom. Pang, who founded School of Wok in London’s Covent Garden，led a team of experienced chefs in teaching volunteers how to cook the dishes. The hot meals were then packed up and loaded into trucks so they could be distributed to those in need.

The event was part of Pang’s work to support the charity (慈善組織) Plan Zheroes, which aims to help connect food businesses with charities in order to redistribute surplus (過剩的) food and support measures to help prevent food waste. “1,300 meals get distributed to around 10 charities across London who are fighting food shortage,” Pang said. “The idea is that with ‘small steps for big changes’, an event like this can show people that one person can easily cook for 10 people and feed a lot of people in need.”

The food materials used at the event were donated by School of Wok^ suppliers as well as from stallholders (攤主) in Borough Market.

“As soon as we met Plan Zheroes, it was clear to me that it was a charity we wanted to raise money for,” said Pang. “So, not only are we creating thousands of meals but, at the same time, we are raising around 5,000 to 6,000 pounds for a very small charity doing a huge job.’’

【1】Why did Jeremy Pang hold the event Wok for 1,000?

A.To improve Pang’s food businesses.

B.To win a good reputation for himself.

C.To show his kindness to homeless people.

D.To raise people’s awareness of food problems.

【2】What can we know about the event Wok for 1,000?

A.It has been carried out for three years.

B.It is held in London’s Covent Garden.

C.It directly distributes meals to the homeless.

D.It is part of the charity Plan Zheroes’s activity.

【3】Where did the food materials used at the event come from?

A.They were offered by volunteer chefs.

B.They were donated by generous people.

C.They were provided by some charities.

D.They were bought from suppliers.

【4】What’s the best title of the text?

A.A Charity Plan Zheroes

B.A Celebrity Chef Jeremy Pang

C.Volunteers Cooked Meals for the Homeless

D.Experienced Chefs Taught Volunteers How to Cook
