Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
In their book Time to Eat the Dog：The Real Guide to Sustainable Living，Robert and Brenda Vale say keeping a mediumsized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10,000 km a year in a 4.6 liter Land Cruiser.
“We're not actually saying it is time to eat the dog.We're just saying that we need to think about and know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted.”
Constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0.41 hectares of land，while growing and manufacturing a dog's food takes about 0.84 hectares—or 1.1 hectares in the case of a large dog such as a German shepherd.
Convincing flesheating cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a nonstarter，the Vales say.Instead they recommend keeping “greener”，smaller，and more sustainable pets，such as goldfish，chickens or rabbits.
The book's playful title，and serious suggestion that pet animals may be usefully“recycled”，by being eaten by their owners or turned into pet food when they die，may not appeal to animal fans.
Annoying as the idea may be，the question is valid given the planet's growing population and limited resources，Robert Vale said.
“Issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming things that are going to require us to make choices which are as difficult as eating your dog.It's not just about changing your light bulbs or taking a cloth bag to the supermarket，”he said.
“It's about much more challenging and difficult issues，” he added.
31．The authors gave their book the playful title to________.
A．make it amusing
B．create a vivid image
C．show writing skills
D．arouse people's concern
32．In Paragraph 3 the writer mainly wants to tell us________.
A．the amount of consumed land
B．the neglected ecological impact
C．some familiar examples
D．some actual figures
33．Who may not like the idea of “recycling” pet animals?
A．Manufacturers.
B．Drivers.
C．Animal fans.
D．The authorities.
34．What do the authors think of living a sustainable life?
A．Challenging.
B．Inspiring.
C．Inviting.
D．Touching.
B
Don't_believe_all_of_the_stereotypes(模式化的形象)you_may_have_heard_about_Americans.Even the ones that are true in general may not be true about specific individuals or a large part of the population.For example，although Americans tend to be louder than people from other cultures(especially at athletic events)，many of the people you meet will be quiet and polite.Some people may be intolerant, but most will be pleasant and welcoming.Remember that American films and television exaggerate(夸张)in order to generate excitement, and so present a rather false picture of what life in the United States is really like.Therefore，tourists in the US are not always on their best behavior.
Americans do tend to be more informal than people from other countries.It is common for Americans to wear casual clothing to school and to greet professors by first name.However, good manners and politeness are always appreciated.If you are polite, and dress a little more formally than your American friends, it will not be poorly thought of.
However，some businesses require their employees to wear a uniform or a suit.It would be improper to wear a Tshirt and blue jeans to a job interview.Some of the more prestigious restaurants require a coat and a tie.Americans tend to dress up for cultural events(the opera，theater and ballet)and to dress down for athletic events.Formal wear is required at weddings and funerals, or any other event with religion.If you rely on the stereotypes，you will likely put yourself into an embarrassing situation.
35. The underlined sentence probably means________.
A．some of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans are not true
B. you should not believe the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans
C. none of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans should be believed
D. none of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans should not be believed
36．The passage is probably written for________.
A．businessmen
B. visitors to America
C. American students
D. American filmmakers
37．The second paragraph suggests that________.
A．most Americans are polite
B. people who are polite are welcome
C. casual clothing makes others uncomfortable
D. American students are impolite to their teachers
38．We can learn from the passage that________.
A．American films are mostly poor comedies
B. it is good manners to wear blue jeans to a wedding
C. Americans usually wear formal clothes in a theater
D．to dress formally makes others feel you are not easy
to get on with

2．A 考查形容词在具体语境中的运用。present出席的，在场的(常作后置定语)；thankful感谢的；interested感兴趣的；important重要的。句意：参加聚会的人都是他的支持者。所以答案为A。
3．D 考查动词辨析。keep表示“保持”；stop表示“停止”；slow表示“减速”；delay表示“延误，延迟”。根据句意可知选D。
4．B 考查短语辨析。 according to 根据； regardless of 不管，不顾； in addition to 另外，除了……还有； in terms of 就……而言。句意为：他不顾及我在此事上的感受继续往下说。
5．B 考查动词短语的辨析。get back from从……回来；get rid of摆脱，除掉；get away逃跑，离开；get off下来。根据句意可知，答案为B。
6．B 考查介词。本句如果改成：Sometimes it is easy to seek proper answers to food safety problems.就容易解此题了。answer后接宾语时要用介词to。
7．A result in表示“导致/造成/引起……的结果”，后跟表结果的名词或动名词；result from表示“(作为……的结果而)产生，发生”，后常接表示原因的名词或动名词。此处为现在分词作结果状语。
8．B 考查动词辨析。accomplish指成功地完成预期的目标、任务等，通常接goal，task, journey, aim, voyage等名词；win指赢得比赛等；finish多指日常事务的完成，强调事情的终结；complete则强调事务完整地完成或终结。
9．B 考查动词辨析。promise意为“承诺”；acknowledge在这里意为“承认”；attribute (to)表示“把……归因于”；accept 表示“接受”。根据句意可知选B。
10．D 考查固定句式。be about to do sth. when…是一固定句式，表示“正要做某事时，这时另外一件事情突然发生了”。
Ⅱ.作者通过两个例子来说明在这个竞争激烈的社会中如何把孩子培养成一个善良的人，同时阐述了自己的一些观点。
11．D 根据下文多次提到的kindness可知此处作者的回答是“要想培养善良的孩子，首先自己要是一个善良的人”。故用kind。
12．A 此处作者是通过举例子的形式来说明，“当你的孩子看见你走了好远去帮助朋友……”，可知此处see符合题意。
13．B consider…as意为“把……看做，认为”，符合题意。
14．B 文中提到的是孩子的教育问题，因此此处应该用kids。我们是孩子的镜子。
15．C 根据句意“当孩子们看到你的善良之举时就会知道从哪里开始做起了”可知，此处用where。
16．D 下文提到的stomachaches有暗示。
17．C rush更能形象地表达孩子对大人的担心和关心。
18．A 孩子能有这样关心人的举动，是因为在此之前大人也这样关心过她，因此此处用过去完成时表示动作在小孩做之前已经发生了。
19．B 由常识可知，善意在学校通常是被认可的，但不一定受到奖励，因此此空填rewarded。accept“认可，赞同”，不符合本文语境。
20．C 在家中我们必须认可孩子的这种善意的举动。at home 与上文 in our schools 相照应。
21．D make an effort to do sth.“竭尽全力做某事”，符合语境。
22．B 此处是这位母亲被孩子的善行所感动，因为“他是多么体贴和乐于助人啊”，此处修饰形容词要用副词how。
23．A 根据前文可知这位母亲是尽力来认可自己孩子的善行，因此当孩子做了好事后母亲当然会尽快地表扬他。故用quick。
24．D 根据句意“善良、同情心和爱心是从理解和尊重中慢慢成长起来的”可知，这些好的品德是慢慢养成的，因此要用grow。
25．A 此处指代前面的understanding和respect，表示两者要用both。
26．A 这有助于认可孩子的体贴而不是增加竞争。increase增加；reduce 减少；prevent阻止；fill填充。
27．D focus…on(使)集中于。句意为“在一个成绩导向型的社会中，我们更多的是关注孩子的学习成绩和运动成绩而不是心灵的价值”。
28．B 句意见上题。value 价值标准，价值；weight重量，分量；easiness容易，温和，舒适；satisfaction满足，满意。
29．D take the time to do sth.在此意为“花时间做某事”。花点时间去把孩子们的善行看做是有真正价值的东西。
30．B 句意为“我们可以通过创办像‘善意委员会'这样的行动在日常生活中形成善行”。form形成；push推；throw扔；make 让，使。

31．D 逻辑推理题。Robert Vale和Brenda Vale写的书名非常有趣，从全文可知，他们这样写的目的在于吸引读者的眼球，引起人们环保的意识，所以答案选D项。
32．B 逻辑推理题。通过第三段建造和驾驶吉普车一年需要的土地的量和种植一条狗的食物所需要土地的量的对比，我们不难发现第三段是承接第二段第二句而写的，主要告诉我们“被忽视的生态影响”，所以答案选B项。
33．C 细节理解题。从第五段的may not appeal to animal fans可知，“回收”宠物的观点不受那些宠物爱好者的欢迎，所以答案选C项。
