　　AThe “Give It Up for Earth Day” encourages people to commit to giving up actions that are harmful to the environment, such as using poisonous cleaners.

　　Throughout the month of April, Canadians are being asked to “Give It Up for Earth Day！” Earth Day has been celebrated every year on April 22 since 1970. Earth Day Canada president Jed Goldberg says that as people become more environmentally aware, they want to find ways to reduce their environmental influence, not just celebrate one special event.

　　“Earth Day is a great launching_pad for thinking about environmental action

　　every day，” said Goldberg. “Choosing healthier options, even for the short term,

　　can lead to thinking about the influence of our decisions for a lifetime.”

　　That's the reason behind the “Give It Up for Earth Day” campaign.

　　It's designed to encourage healthy habits that benefit people and the planet. It challenges everyone to help create a healthier world by making changes in their daily routine.

　　?We wanted to plan an actiontargeted campaign that will give people a chance to act on their concern for the environment in a positive way，” said Goldberg.

　　The campaign has identified four daily actions that can add up to huge environmental savings. They include pledging (保证) to turn off the TV, give up the use of poisonous cleaners, reduce consumption of consumer products and cut out meat.

　　At the end of April, all of the pledges will be recorded and converted (转化) into the number of TV hours not watched, dollars not spent on unnecessary items, electricity saved, greenhouse gas emissions (排放) avoided by cutting out meat, and poisonous chemicals produced from homes and landfills.

　　“What we're trying to achieve this year for Earth Day is to give people a chance to do something that is meaningful and measurable，” said Goldberg.

　　文章大意：4月22日是世界地球日，活动“Give It Up for Earth Day”倡导人们在地球日这一天为保护环境做一些有意义、行之有效的事情。

　　1．The aim of the campaign mentioned in the passage is to ________.

　　A．enable people to save more money for future use

　　B．help people develop environmentally friendly habits

　　C．prevent people from making changes in their daily routine

　　D．warn people against reducing consumption of consumer products

　　答案：B　细节理解题。根据文章第四段第二句“It's designed to encourage healthy habits that benefit people and the planet.”可知，答案B符合文义。

　　2．The underlined word “launching pad” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “________”．

　　A．starting point

　　B．finishing line

　　C．exchanging stage

　　D．reforming stage

　　答案：A　词义猜测题。画线词所在句意为：地球日是一个引发人们开始对人类日常活动对环境所造成的影响进行思考的起点，由此结合上文“... they want to find ways to reduce their environmental influence, not just celebrate one special event.”和下文中“can lead to thinking about...”可推知，答案A符合文义。finishing line终点线；exchanging stage交流平台；reforming stage改革舞台，均不符合文义，故排除。

　　3．We can conclude from the passage that ________.

　　A．Earth Day was first celebrated over half a century ago

　　B．short term decisions will by no means influence our lives

　　C．Earth Day Canada is actually an everyday environmental action

　　D．daily actions must be measured to benefit the environment

　　答案：D　推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二、三段的整体理解并结合文章最后一句中的“meaningful and measurable”可以推知，我们应该以对环境的影响好坏为标准来判断日常行为是否可行。由此可知，答案D符合文义。

　　4．Which disagrees with the spirit of “Give It Up for Earth Day”？

　　A．Switching off TV.

　　B．Riding bikes.

　　C．Using poisonous cleaners.

　　D．Saving electricity.

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段的第二句“They include pledging (保证) to turn off the TV, give up the use of poisonous cleaners...”可知，答案C符合文义。

　　B

　　(2016·贵阳市适应性考试)Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款机), I said hello to an old couple who were also paying for gas.

　　I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke began pouring from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.

　　I wrote him and his wife a thank­you note for helping me. Soon afterwards, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.

　　Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In the late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership — a shop selling cars — was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.

　　“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？” I asked

　　and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment. When I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say “thank you”， and it meant a lot, he said.

　　“Thank you” — two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.

　　1.Why did the writer get into the old couple's car?

　　A.Because his parents were in the car.

　　B.Because his car had broken down.

　　C.Because his friend told him to do so.

　　D.Because his car's oil had run out.

　　2.From the text, we know that the old couple were ________.

　　A.talkativeB.brave

　　C.kind

　　D.lonely

　　3.What did the old couple think of helping the writer?

　　A.They could get a reward.

　　B.It made their holidays worthy.

　　C.They did it by chance.

　　D.It was due to a thank­you letter.

　　4.What would be the best title for the passage?

　　A.An Experience to Missouri

　　B.An Old Couple

　　C.A Meaningful Holiday

　　D.A Meaningful Thank­you

　　5．解析：选B　细节理解题根据第二段第一句中的“black smoke began pouring from the back of my car”可知作者的车出故障了所以他才坐老夫妇的车6．解析：选C　推理判断题根据第二三段可知这对老夫妇让作者搭他们的车去见朋友作者下车后这个丈夫还给了他一张名片在作者寄去感谢信后这对老夫妇给作者寄了一个圣诞礼物由此可知这对夫妇很善良故答案选C7．解析：选B　细节理解题根据第三段最后一句“Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.”可知这对老夫妇认为帮助作者让他们的假期很有意义这一切都是值得的故答案选B8．解析：选D　标题归纳题通读全文可知本文作者主要讲述了两个自己受到帮助的故事每一次受到帮助后作者都会通过写便条来表达自己对他们的感谢“感谢”二字虽然说起来容易但是意义重大由此可知D项“一个有意义的感谢”概括出了文章的主旨最适合做文章标题故答案选DC

　　Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own，not because they have no one to travel with，but because they prefer to go alone.

　　Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life.“It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.

　　In foreign countries，with no one to help you read a map，look after you if you get ill，or lend you money if your wallet is stolen，it is challenging.This is what drives young people to travel alone.It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.

　　Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year.He set up a website，The Aussie Nomad，to document his adventures.He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier.“The people you meet，the places you visit，or the things you do，everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，” said the 30­year­old man.

　　Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”，which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”．He said，“The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task.” “I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”

　　The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said，“Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”

　　1．Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?

　　A．Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.

　　B．It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.

　　2．Traveling alone is challenging because________.

　　A．you have to make things on your own

　　B．it is hard for you to prove yourself to others

　　3．What can we infer about Chris Richardson?

　　A．He started traveling alone at an early age.

　　B．He was once shot in the arm.

　　C．He used to work as a salesman.

　　D．His website inspires others a lot.

　　4．What is the best title for the passage?

　　How to Be a Good Friend

　　A good friend, who wouldn't want one? Ever felt yours just not good enough but don't know where to improve? 1.________ I used to annoy a lot of my friends before, just for the sake of having fun and from that, I've learned how to be a good friend, and stay as a good friend.

　　Listen.

　　No one likes being interrupted when they're talking. So, when someone talks, keep yourself quiet and listen to them, especially if they're feeling down, you need to be the shoulder for them to cry on. If you have any comment to make, be sure that you word it in a way where you don't sound too negative. 2.________ When you just don't share the same interest or you're not in the mood to listen to them, politely let them know and ask them to understand.

　　Always smile.

　　3.________ The least you can do is, whenever you see your friends, smile and say hello. That way, if they had a bad day, you can make them feel better with your smile along with your ear, and maybe, you can share something funny to cheer them up.

　　Don't ever lie.

　　Everyone would hate being lied to, especially if it's by your own friend, so don't lie! It might seem alright to lie occasionally, but once you lose your friend's trust, you may lose them forever. 4.________

　　Keep secrets.

　　Make sure you can keep a secret. If not, tell your friends straight away you cannot help yourself when it comes to secrets. Otherwise, when you let them tell you about their secrets and you “accidentally” share it with someone else, you'll have your friends hating you for the rest of your life. 5.________ Secrets are not meant to be shared, so don't even try.

　　Good afternoon, everyone!

　　It is an honour for me to speak here.　

　　Thank you!

　　高考题型提能练(三).1～5　CEABG.参考范文：Good afternoon, everyone!

　　It is an honour for me to speak here. And I am excited because I have achieved my goal to win first prize in the contest.

　　Firstly, I should owe my success to my teachers and all those who helped me in preparation for the contest. Thank all of you! Secondly, my success is closely connected with my love of English. I hold that the love from the heart can really make a difference.

　　Anyhow, the experience of the contest helps me understand some of my shortcomings. One of them is that my limited knowledge weakens the power of my speech. So I have determined to study harder to broaden my knowledge and learn more about the world.

　　Thank you!
