A phone call reached me one cold winter day. I was

The whole drive down,

the same spacing between them. But we needn't 6 those military orders. I remembered clearly the battles he had with my mother. I remembered 7 to hear my father say just once, “I love you, Patty”, only to have him 8 at me, “You can't do anything right!”
Standing outside his trailer, I tried to

This wasn't the angry and 11 man I had known growing up. This man was 12 and seemed broken. Part of me felt sorry for him, but another part of me was thinking this was exactly the fate he 13

“God, what am I supposed to do now?” I wondered. But as soon as the words

It was the 16 part I struggled with. The days of looking after my father turned into weeks, then months. All the pain, the conflicted feelings I'd been 17 over the years came rushing out. One night, I sat there, talking to God, begging him to help me let go of the ugly feelings I had toward my father. When I was finished, I felt an incredible peace, as if every 18 had been lifted from me. 19 had cleaned all that from me and I felt free to start living the joyful life God wanted me to live.
It has been eight years since father died. Now when I think of him, those are the moments I remember, which are, as I put on Dad's headstone, God's amazing 20

A【甘肃省兰州中学2016届高三9月月考】
The writings of Shakespeare are today little read by young people in Britain. His young readership is limited to those who choose to study literature at university.
Shakespeare’s work, together with most other classics, is seen as remote, and written in a 400-year-old version of English that is about as inviting as toothache.
Still, in Britain schools, it is compulsory to study the bard (诗人), and when something is made compulsory, usually the result is boredom, resentment (憎恨)or both.
This was my experience of the classics at school. But when I reached my late teenage years, I had a change of heart. Like every other young person since the dawn of time, the world confused me. I wanted answers, so I turned to books to find them.
I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught it in Britain and China. I have never regretted it. There is something in literature that people want, even if they don’t read books. You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works, the recent film version of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice being a case in point. These popular adaptations may help increase people’s interest in the classics.
Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading of Shakespeare’s actual play. If that is the case, then I welcome the trend. But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing. Shakespeare is a poet. His greatness is in his language. Reading someone else’s rewriting of his work is like peeling a banana, throwing away the fruit, and eating the skin. Take on the original. It really is worth the effort.
31.
Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The language used in classics is no longer in use today.
B. British students usually find compulsory reading dull.
C. Only those studying literature read Shakespeare’s works.
D. For British people, Shakespeare’s works are no longer classics.
32. According to the passage, the writer ________.
A. has liked literary classics since an early age
B. was forced to read the classics for a PhD
C. turned to literature to seek answers in his teens
D. thinks only people who read books like literature
33. The popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works may help people ______.
A. learn more about tradition
B. get a PhD in literature
C. seek their answers about the world
D. become more interested in the classics
34. What does the writer intend to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. The fruit of a banana is more useful than its skin.
B. The rewriting trend does more harm than good.
C. Readers should try to read the original versions.
D. Readers need to learn the language in the classics.
32.C细节理解题。根据文章But when I reached my late teenage years, I had a change of heart.可知作者在青年时期改变了自己的想法，故选C。
33.D细节理解题。根据文章These popular adaptations may help increase people’s interest in the classics.可知用流行方式的改编可以提升大家的阅读兴趣，故选D。
34. C主旨大意题。文章中Take on the original. It really is worth the effort.一句就很清楚地表达了作者的意图，故选C。

B【甘肃省兰州中学2016届高三9月月考】
For Kim LeBlanc, knowing that her son Tyler’s organs, eyes and other tissues have given life or healing to others is helping her cope with the loss of her child, who was struck by a truck in Guelph on May 31.
Tyler was believed to have been texting a friend when he stepped onto a high-traffic road against the green light and was struck by the truck. Then he was sent to a Hamilton hospital. Surgery was performed to ease the pressure in his brain, but .the family was told he would not recover.
“With all of his injuries, I just prayed all night for a miracle. And I was granted a miracle, but not in the way I’d expected,” says LeBlanc, her voice choked by emotion.
The family decided to donate Tyler’s organs, a choice she believes her kind and considerate son would have made on his own. It’s also a choice that transplant programs wish would be made more often, because the need for donor organs is far more than the supply worldwide. More than 1,500 people in Ontario are on the waiting list for life-saving organs, and one dies every day because an organ has not become available in time. Across Canada, the gap between donations and the need for organs continues to widen. At the end of 2010, more than 4,400 Canadians were on the waiting list for donor organs, including 3,362 needing a kidney. That year, 229 died before the organs they needed became available.
LeBlanc recalls the morning when her son was taken off life support and his organs were removed. Despite living what she calls a parent’s absolute worst nightmare, LeBlanc says she has got the strength to bear such an unbearable loss. “He’s still there. He’s still living. And he’s still breathing. And he’s brought so much joy to families,” she says. “He’s my hero. He really is my hero.”
35.
Tyler was struck by the truck mainly because________.
A. he broke the traffic rule
B. he was talking with his friends
C. the truck ignored him
D. the truck ran at a high speed
36.
The figures in paragraph 4 show that ________.
A. more people begin to donate their organs
B. more people are dying during organ transplant operations
C. many people don’t know how to donate their organs
D. many people are in great need of organ transplant worldwide
37.
It is implied in the last paragraph that ________.
A. LeBlanc was desperate about Tyler’s death
B. LeBlanc will never forget Tyler’s contribution
C. LeBlanc felt relieved with Tyler’s organ donated
D. LeBlanc has never thought that Tyler will be a hero
【解析】
试题分析：本文讲述了Kim LeBlanc 的儿子在出车祸之后将自己的器官捐献给医学事业，他母亲以此获得慰藉的故事。
35. A细节理解题。根据文章when he stepped onto a high-traffic road against the green light and was struck by the truck.可知是Tyler自己违反了交通规则，故选A。

C【甘肃省兰州中学2016届高三9月月考】
Nowadays more and more people are talking about genetically modified foods ( GM foods). GM foods develop from genetically modified organisms (有机体), which have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are much more precise where an organism is exposed to chemicals to create a non-specific but stable change. For many people, the high-tech production raises all kinds, of environmental, ethical(伦理的), health and safety problems. Particularly in countries with long farming traditions, the idea seems against nature.
In fact, GM foods are already very much a part of our lives. They were first put on the market in 1996. A third of the corn and more than half the cotton grown in the US last year was the product of biotechnology, according to the Department of Agriculture. More than 65 million acres of genetically modified crops will be planted in the US this year. The genetic genie is out of the bottle.
However, like any new product entering the food chain, GM foods must be subjected to careful testing. In wealthy countries, the debate about biotech is not so fierce by the fact that they have a large number of foods to choose from, and a supply that goes beyond the needs. In developing countries desperate to feed fast-growing and under fed populations, the matter is simpler and much more urgent: do the benefits of biotech outweigh the risks?
The statistics on population growth and hunger are disturbing. Last year the world’s population reached 6 billion. The UN states that nearly 800 million people around the world are unhealthy. About 400 million women of childbearing age don’t have enough iron, which means their babies are exposed to various birth defeats. As many as 100 million children suffer from vitamin A deficiency, a leading cause of blindness.
How can biotech help? Genetic engineering is widely used to produce plants and animals with better nutritional values. Biotechnologists have developed genetically modified rice and they are working on other kinds of nutritionally improved crops. Biotech can also improve farming productivity in places where food shortage are caused by crop damage attributable to drought, poor soil and crop viruses.
38. The passage mainly talks about _______.
A. the world’s food problem
B. the development in biotech
C. the genetically modified foods
D. the way to solve food shortage
39.According to the passage, GM foods ________.
A. will replace naturally grown foods
B. are far better than naturally grown foods
C. may help to solve the problem of poor nutrition
D. can cause serious trouble in developing countries
40.The underlined sentence “The genetic genie is out of the bottle.” in paragraph 2 probably means that _______.
A. GM foods are available everywhere
B. the technology in producing GM foods is advanced
C. genetic technology may have uncontrollable powers
D. genetic technology has come out of laboratories into markets
【解析】
试题分析：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了转基因食品的现状以及问题，从世界各国的经济发展水平不同所以面对的问题也不同阐述，也讲述了转基因的未来发展方向。
38. C主旨大意题。文章开篇就在提Nowadays more and more people are talking about genetically modified foods ( GM foods).再结合整篇文章可知中心是genetically modified foods。故选C。
39. C细节理解题。根据文章Genetic engineering is widely used to produce plants and animals with better nutritional values.就可知转基因可以解决这个问题，故选C。
40. D猜测词义题。根据划线句子的前一句More than 65 million acres of genetically modified crops will be planted in the US this year.就可猜测出是转基因食品可以大量进入市场，故选D。

: less red meat and more fibre, less saturated fat (饱和脂肪) and more fruit and vegetables, right? Wrong, according to a controversial new book by nutritionist Zoe Harcombe. In the book, Harcombe charts her careful journey of research into studies that underpin (巩固) dietary advice—and her myth(误区)—breaking conclusions are surprising.
Myth:
42
.
“Real fat is not bad for us,” says Harcombe. It’s man-made fats that we should be demonizing. Why do we have this idea that meat is full of saturated fat? In a 100g pork chop, there is 2.3g of unsaturated fat and 1.5g of saturated fat.
Myth: We should eat more fibre.
For three decades, we have eaten fibre into our bodies to help us feel full and keep our digestive systems moving.
43
, says Harcombe. The advice to eat more fibre is put forward along with the theory that we need to clean our digestive systems. But essential minerals are absorbed from food while it is in the intestines(肠道), so why do we want to wash everything out? Concentrate on not putting bad food in.
Myth: You need to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. “Five-a-day is the most well-known piece of nutritional advice,” says Harcombe. “You’d think it was based on firm evidence of health benefit.
44
.” Five-a-day started as a marketing campaign by 25 fruit and vegetable companies and the American National Cancer Institute in 1991. There was no evidence for any cancer benefit.
Myth: Fruit and vegetables are the most nutritious things to eat.
Apparently not. Harcombe allows that vegetables are a great addition to the diet—if served in butter to deliver the fat-soluble(dissolved) vitamins they contain—but natural sugar in fruit, goes straight to the liver and is stored as fat.
45
, says Harcombe, who adds, “Vitamins and minerals in animal foods—meat, fish, eggs and dairy products—beat those in fruit.”
A. Want to lose weight? Don’t trust these
B. We think we know what to eat
C. This is not a good idea
D. Fat is bad for us
E. Think again
F. We need to take more exercise
G Fruit is best avoided by those trying to lose weight
42.D考察对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据后文“Real fat is not bad for us,” says Harcombe. It’s man-made fats that we should be demonizing.即可推断出本选项是与fat相关，Fat is bad for us符合，故选D。
43.C考察对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据前后文的联系The advice to eat more fibre is put forward along with the theory that we need to clean our digestive systems.可知是相反的意见，故选C。
44.E考察对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。在前面提到“Five-a-day is the most well-known piece of nutritional advice,” says Harcombe.然后后文又讲到Five-a-day started as a marketing campaign by 25 fruit and vegetable companies and the American National Cancer Institute in 1991.所以推断出应该为Think again ，故选E。
45.G考察对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据最后一段内容“Vitamins and minerals in animal foods—meat, fish, eggs and dairy products—beat those in fruit.”即可推断出答案G。

My father was born in the 1960's in a rural family, whose biggest dream was to fill the stomach and then hunger had become his memory of the pain. And his childhood was spent in where transportation used to be inconvenient and the information was limited. In the year 1977, with China's reform and opening policy, my father seized his opportunity and was admitted into a famous university, determined to become an engineer. After graduation, he turned his dream into reality, working now in a Shenzhen hightech company and living a comfortable life with a house and a car. As Chairman Xi Jinping has said, “If all Chinese people's dreams come true, the dream of the great revival of the Chinese nation will definitely be realized.”
