较难题目特训：人物故事类
In Western culture, 21 was the age at which young people traditionally received a key to their parents’ door, as a symbol of entering adulthood. Now, the age of 21 is a time when people ask themselves: where do I go from here?
Jiang Fangzhou’s 21 years have been filled with the kind of success most young people wouldn’t dare hope for in a lifetime. She published her first book at the age of nine and has written many more since then. She is regarded as a spokesperson for her generation. However, her hopes and concerns for the future appear decidedly normal.
She explains that while her fellow students are chiefly concerned with getting a job or buying an apartment, shefrets over how she can excel in her work when having limited experience of the world.
However, Jiang, now a senior at the School of Journalism and Communication of Tsinghua University, notes that her peers face intense pressure and competition at school. They are expected to excel in their field of study despite limited experience, just as Jiang is expected to shine in the literary world.
Young people, she says, have been forced to open their eyes to the world around them. Jiang’s world has opened up, too. She’s more at ease with herself at 21, compared with when she began college.
“My horizon has broadened and I’m more tolerant,” she says. “As a freshman, I was desperate. I stopped people around me and asked: ‘Is there anything in the world still worth hoping for? ‘ But now I don’t do that.”
Jiang says that she may not pursue writing as her main future career because she wants to try“other lifestyles”—overseas travel and study touring sound particularly inviting to her. But she is concerned that many foreigners have skewed (歪曲的,倾斜的) perceptions about China.
“A few days ago I overheard a conversation between two foreigners sitting next to me on a flight,” says Jiang. “They were having a heated discussion about the number of beggars in China. And how Chinese always go for ‘petty profits’. In fact, they had been in China for only a week.”
Jiang believes prejudice is unavoidable, but she also maintains that Chinese and Westerners, for example, share much common ground.
“We share the same principles, such as honesty and a willingness to help others,” says Jiang. “The differences between peoples are not that huge.”
1. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Jiang Fangzhou’s novels.
B. Embracing new challenges.
C. Jiang Fangzhou’s university life.
D. Jiang Fangzhou’s success.
2. What does the underlined phrase mean?
A. be patient with
B. be worried about
C. be content with
D. be indifferent about
3. Which of the following sentences is true?
A. Jiang doesn’t have any pressure and competition as the others do.
B. Jiang’s peers face intense pressure and competition at school.
C. Jiang wants to be a professional writer in future.
D. Jiang often asks her friends some questions now.
4. We can infer from the text that_____.
A. there is nothing but prejudice between Chinese and Westerners
B. Jiang accepts the fact that there are huge differences between peoples
C. one week is enough to know about a true China.
D. Jiang disagrees with what the two foreigners said about Chinese

【天津市蓟县邦均中学2017高考英语模拟试题】C
In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide acts rather like a one-way mirror or the glass in the roof of a greenhouse which allows the sun’s rays to enter but prevents the heat from escaping
According to a weather expert's prediction , the atmosphere will be 3℃ warmer in the year 2050 than it is today, if man continues to burn fuels at the present rate．If this warming up took place．the ice caps in the poles would begin to inch，thus raising sea level several meters and severely flooding coastal cities．Also．the increase in atmospheric temperature would lead to great changes in the climate of the northern hemisphere(北半球)，possibly resulting in an alteration of the earth’s chief food growing zones．
In the past，concern about a man-made warming of the earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet．But the weather experts are now paying more attention to West Antarctic．which may be affected by only a few degrees of warming，in other words，by a warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty years from the burning of fuels．
Satellite pictures show that large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappearing．The evidence available suggests that a warming has taken place．This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms the earth．
However, most of the fuel is burnt in the northern hemisphere，where temperatures seem to be falling．Scientists conclude，therefore ,that up to now natural influences on the weather have gone beyond those caused by man．The question is：Which natural cause has most effect on the weather?
One possibility is the variable behavior of the sun．Astronomers at one research station have studied the hot spots and ‘cold’ spots (that is, the relatively less hot spots)on the sun．As the sun rotates(使旋转)，every 27．5 days，it presents hotter or colder faces to the earth，and different aspects to different parts of the earth．This seems to have a considerable effect on the distribution of the earth atmospheric pressure，and consequently on wind circulation．The sun is also changeable over a long term：its heat output goes up and down in cycles，the latest trend being downward．
‘
Scientists are now finding shared relations between models of solar weather interactions and the actual climate over many thousands of years，including the last ice Age．The problem is that the models are predicting that the world should be entering a new Ice Age and it is not．One way of solving this theoretical difficulty is to assume a delay of thousands of years while the solar effects overcome the inertia(惯性)of the earth‘s climate．If this is right, the warming effect of carbon dioxide might thus be serving as a useful opposed balance to the sun’s fading heat．
46．It can be concluded that a concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would
．
A．mean a warming-up in the Arctic
B．raise the temperature of the earth’s surface
C．prevent the sun’s rays from reaching the earth’s surface
D．explain the cause of great changes in the climate in the northern hemisphere
47．The article was written to explain
．
A．the green house effect
B．the solar effects on the earth
C．the causes affecting weather
D．the models of solar weather interactions
48．Although the fuel consumption is greater in the northern hemisphere, temperatures there seem to be falling．This is
．
A．mainly because the levels of carbon dioxide arc rising
B．partly due to changes in the output of solar energy
C．possibly because the ice caps in the poles are melting
D．only due to the effect of the inertia of the earth’s climate
49.On the basis of their models, scientists are of the opinion that
A the climate of the world should be becoming cooler
B the new Ice Age will be delayed by the greenhouse effect
C the man-made warning effect helps to increase the solar effects
D it will take thousands of years for the inertia of the earth’s climate to take effect
50.If the assumption about the delay of a new Ice Age is correct
A ice would soon cover the northern hemisphere
B the greenhouse effect could work in favor of the earth
C the best way to overcome the cooling effect would be to burn more fuels
D the increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could warm up the earth even more quickly

Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York—he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us, " Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.
Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton’s foundation(基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer’s home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire, “ Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder. "
Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary. com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.
The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish, " says Linda. The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists, and Dollywood board members—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.
Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12, 200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of."
The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die, “ says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left."
