　　C．Go ahead

　　D．You're welcome

　　答案：C　考查交际用语。根据第二句答语“It'll be safe with me”可知，答话人同意为对方看着她的包，故用go ahead表示“去吧”。go ahead“(尤经某人允许后)开始做；着手干”。

　　A

　　(2017·桂林市一调)

　　For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the people gather together to socialize and exchange news.

　　As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historicists. The most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham called “The Old Trip to Jerusalem”， which dates back to the year 1189 AD and is probably the oldest pub in England.

　　However, British pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pub's landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.

　　That's how things used to be. Things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit crunch(信贷紧缩 ) is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People do not have enough spare money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned (禁止) smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.

　　This decline(衰退) is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubs to stay open after 11 p．m. Previously, with 11 p．m. as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking”， and it causes long­term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities.

　　In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be “Working Men's Clubs”， meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.

　　文章大意：酒馆和教堂一直是英国最重要的建筑。本文重点介绍了酒馆的历史和现在。

　　1．The passage mainly tells us something about ________.

　　A．the long history of British pubs

　　B．the decline of British pubs

　　C．the past and present of British pubs

　　D．the importance of British pubs

　　答案：C　主旨大意题。全文讲的是英国酒馆的过去和现在。

　　2．Which may not be the cause of the decline of British pubs?

　　A．The credit crunch.

　　B．The present closing time.

　　C．The ban of smoking.

　　D．Having no spare money.

　　答案：B　细节理解题。由第四段可知，酒馆的衰退是因为三个方面的原因：信贷紧缩、人们没有闲钱和政府在酒馆的禁烟。

　　3．We can infer from the passage that ________.

　　A．binge drinking means drinking less beer

　　B．British people used to like drinking slowly

　　C．closing the pubs early will reduce social problems

　　D．British government aims to discourage people from binge drinking

　　答案：D　推理判断题。由第五段最后一句话“The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking”， and it causes long­term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities.可知，binge drinking造成了人们的长期的健康问题和社区暴力问题；该段一开始讲到政府延长了酒馆的营业时间，这就能有效避免这一问题。可以得出结论：政府的目的是减少binge drinking。

　　4．We can see from the last Paragraph that the author ______.

　　A．holds an optimistic attitude towards the British pubs

　　B．is against the admission of too many women to the pubs

　　C．thinks that women in the pubs will cause less social problems

　　D．thinks that British pubs should offer everything you need

　　答案：A　推理判断题。由最后一段，特别是最后一句话“Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.”可知，作者对酒馆持乐观态度。

　　B

　　(2017·南京四校调研)

　　Move Earth—it's no science fiction

　　Scientists have found an unusual way to prevent our planet from overheating：move it to a cooler spot. All you have to do is

　　send a few comets in the direction of Earth，and its orbit will be changed. Our world will then be sent spinning into a safer, colder part of the solar system.

　　This idea for improving our climate comes from a group of the

　　US

　　National

　　Aeronautics

　　and

　　Space

　　Administration (NASA) engineers and American astronomers. They say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planet—effectively doubling its working life.

　　The plan put forward by Dr. Laughlin, and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams, needs carefully directing a comet or asteroid so that it passes close by our planet and sends some its gravitational energy to Earth.

　　“Earth's orbital speed would increase as a result and we would move to a higher orbit away from the Sun，” Laughlin said.

　　Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter or Saturn. The comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets. Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth, and the process would be repeated.

　　In the short term, the plan provides an ideal way to global warming, although the term was actually concerned with a much greater danger. The Sun is certain to heap up in about a billion years and seriously compromise our biosphere (生物圈)—by cooking us.

　　That's why the group decided to try to save Earth.

　　The plan has one or two worrying aspects, though. For a start，space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their asteroid or comet towards Earth. The smallest miscalculation in orbit could fire it straight at Earth—with deadly consequences.

　　There is also the question of the Moon. As the current issue of Scientific American points out, if Earth was pushed out of its current position，it is most likely that the Moon would be stripped away from Earth. This would greatly change our planet's climate.

　　文章大意：本文是科普性文章，介绍了科学家们的一个关于移动地球的设想。

　　5．What makes the scientists plan to move Earth?

　　A．A few comets are moving to the direction of Earth.

　　B．Earth's working life is coming to an end soon.

　　C．Earth will become too hot for mankind to keep alive.

　　D．The moon is moving farther and farther away from Earth.

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据第一段的第一句可知C项正确。

　　6．If the plan is successful, Earth will have a working life of ________ years.

　　A．12 billion

　　B．6 billion

　　C．18 billion

　　D．24 billion

　　答案：A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planet—effectively doubling its working life.”可知答案为A项。

　　7．What serious problems might the plan cause according to the

　　passage?

　　A．Earth might have deadly consequences and man might lose

　　the Moon.

　　B．Earth might be moved too far away and man might be

　　frozen to death.

　　C．The comet might hit Jupiter or Saturn and never return to

　　Earth.

　　D．Earth's working life might be greatly shortened.

　　答案：A　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的最后一句及最后一段中的“if Earth was pushed out of its current position, it is most likely that the Moon would be stripped away from Earth”可知应选A项。

　　8．The underlined word “compromise” means “________”？

　　A．provide

　　B．benefit

　　C．share

　　D．endanger

　　答案：D　词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句的内容可知，太阳发出的热会让我们的生物圈陷入危险。故划线词与endanger同义。
