　　(2017·江苏省淮安涟水中学测试)

　　Several overseas trips with the family have taught us that they can be rewarding, but you always have to be careful of pickpockets.

　　On a lovely visit to Paris an encounter with a pickpocket gave the would­be thief a little more than he bargained_for!

　　While walking down the famous Champs Elysee, I was astonished to feel someone unzip my handbag and remove my purse. I turned to glimpse a young man turning away and pretending to be absorbed in the mouth­watering contents on display in a bakery window.

　　Being only a teenager at the time, I had no idea what to do. So I tapped the young man in question on the shoulder and said.

　　“Excuse me, can you please give me back my purse？”

　　Of course the pickpocket had no idea what I was saying(and didn't want to know) and proceeded to shrug his shoulders and basically say(in French) “I don't speak English”？

　　Meanwhile, my Mother(a Scots woman with a bad temper), came to see why I had stopped walking and what was going on. When I informed her of the situation, she lost control and started yelling at the thief who still stood there making gestures in French while a crazy Scots woman harangued(指责)him. At this stage we were starting to attract onlookers, and when my mother started hitting the young man with her handbag the would­be thief decided it was time to get away.

　　Luckily, amid all the disorder the thief lost his control of my purse, and as he made a break­for­it, my purse dropped to the ground! I quickly snatched it up and for the rest of vacation we walked around with our handbags clutched against our chests!

　　21．This passage is a story about ________.

　　A．several overseas trips

　　B．Champs Elysee

　　C．a lovely visit to Paris

　　D．pickpockets

　　22．The underlined phrase “bargained for” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ________.

　　A．exchanged for

　　B．wished for

　　C．asked for

　　D．answered for

　　23．The author discovered the pickpocket because ________.

　　A．his handbag was specially made to stop pickpocketing

　　B．the author was old enough and experienced there

　　C．the pickpocket was too inexperienced to steal his purse

　　D．his purse was very heavy so that he felt it was removed

　　24．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

　　A．The pickpocket didn't know English and had no idea what I was saying.

　　B．His Mother tried to beat the thief so that he ran away immediately.

　　C．It was the bad tempered mother that caused the thief to lose control of the purse.

　　D．The author was old enough to deal with the case independently at the time.

　　答案与解析

　　文章主要讲述了作者在巴黎旅游遭遇扒手，在母亲的帮助下成功拿回被偷窃的钱包的经历。

　　21．D　主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中“but you always have to be careful of pickpockets”可知文章主要讲的是关于扒手的事情。故选D项。

　　22．B　词义猜测题。根据文章第二段中“On a lovely visit to Paris an encounter with a pickpocket gave the would­be thief a little more than he...”可以推断结果往往比扒手想的要多，“bargain for”的本意就是“指望，希望”与“wish for”相近。故选B项。

　　23．D　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“I was astonished to feel someone unzip my handbag and remove my purse.”作者感到有人在拉开手提包拿了钱包可以判断答案为D项。

　　24．C　推理判断题。根据文章第七段中的“Meanwhile, my Mother(a Scots woman with a bad temper)”以及“when my Mother started hitting the young man with her handbag the would­be thief decided it was time to get away.”推断出正是由于母亲的坏脾气帮助了作者拿回了钱包。故选C项。

　　B

　　(2017·江苏省沐阳银河学校检测)

　　A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four­year­olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.

　　By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four­year­olds had enough self­control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible(固守己见的)．

　　Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.

　　The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.

　　Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence when it comes to predicting people's success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”．

　　EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the elements for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.

　　While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.

　　25．The experiment with the four­year­olds makes it clear that ________.

　　A．the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiment

　　B．emotional intelligence won't show up until adolescence

　　C．the ability of self­control plays a role in personal success

　　D．candy can be used to measure a person's emotional intelligence

　　26．Which of the following is true of EQ and IQ according to the text?

　　A．There is no link between EQ and IQ.

　　B．The higher a person's IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.

　　C．Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.

　　D．Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work together.

　　27．The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.

　　A．kind

　　B．floating

　　C．excited

　　D．optimistic

　　28．What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?

　　A．Information about famous people with high EQ.

　　B．Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.

　　C．Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field.

　　D．Strong demand for basic emotional education.

　　答案与解析

　　通过给孩子们吃糖果，一个科学家竟然能够看出他们的未来。研究显示，具有自控力的孩子，长大后会更有自信、更可靠。科学家们一直致力于研究情绪智力(EQ)与智商(IQ)的关系。

　　25．C　细节理解题。根据“...those who as four­year­olds had enough self­control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible(固守己见的)．”可知，经不住糖果的诱惑的孩子长大以后容易感到孤独、沮丧，甚至会固执己见，而自控力强的孩子长大后更加自信、可靠，更具冒险精神，说明自控力对一个人有很大的影响，故选C项。

　　26．D　细节理解题。　根据倒数第二段“What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together...”可知，科学家在寻找EQ与IQ协同发挥作用的机制，故选D项， 。

　　27．D　词义猜测题。A.友好的；B.不固定的；C.兴奋的；D.乐观的，why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles 为什么有的人在面对麻烦的时候仍然保持乐观的心态，大多数人在遇到困难时都会情绪低落、烦躁，而有的人仍然保持乐观，故选D项。

　　28．B　推理判断题。根据“While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.”可知，尽管大多数的科学家都比较看重情绪情感的作用，但是还有少数人担心EQ会招致滥用，说明接下会举一些反例。故选B项。

　　C

　　Passenger pigeons (旅鸽)once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks (群)so large that they darkened the sky for hours.

　　It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billlion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.

　　Sadly the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an everlasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.

　　By the closing decades of the 19th century，the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans' need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.

　　In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.

　　29. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons________.

　　A. were the biggest bird in the world

　　B. lived mainly in the south of America

　　C. did great harm to the natural environment

　　D. were the largest bird population in the US

　　30. The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons'________.

　　A. escape B. ruin

　　C. liberation D. evolution

　　31. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?

　　A. To seek pleasure. B. To save other birds.

　　C. To make money. D. To protect crops.

　　32. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?

　　A. It was ignored by the public.

　　B.

　　It was declared too late.

　　C. It was unfair.

　　D. It was strict.

　　答案与解析

　　29．D　推理判断题。从第一段的第二句以及第二段可知，在18世纪以及19世纪早期，旅鸽是美国数量最多的鸟类。

　　30．B　词义猜测题。由第三段第一句开头的“Sadly”可知 undoing 表示一个“消极的，非人们所期望的”词义，故排除C项和D项；再由下一句可知旅鸽遭到人类的捕杀，故排除A项，选择B项。

　　31．C　推理判断题。由第三段第三句和第四句可知，旅鸽遭到捕杀的主要原因是人们为了挣钱。

　　32．B　推理判断题。由最后一段的第一、二句可知，虽然密歇根州通过了禁止捕杀旅鸽的法律，但那时已经为时已晚。

　　D

　　(2017·山西省山大附中月考)

　　You've probably heard about sports coaches, fitness coaches, voice and music teachers, career counselors, psychiatrists(精神病医师) and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with daily life.

　　But there's a rapidly growing kind of professional who does a little bit of everything. She or he is called a “life_coach”. People who are at crossroads in their lives, and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost, are turning to them for help.

　　The idea that one person's success story can change other people's lives for the better goes back at least to the 1930s. Dale Carnegie's famous self­improvement program “How to Win Friends and Influence People” came along soon thereafter.

　　But this new style of life coaches includes more than enthusiastic speakers or writers. They use their own experiences in business, sports, military service, or psychotherapy (心理疗法)to help others make critical life decisions.

　　They often give their approach a slogan, such as “energy coaching” or “fearless living” or “working yourself happy”．

　　Dave Lakhani in Boise, Idaho, for instance, works with salespeople to develop what he calls a “road map”. He says an ongoing relationship with a coach is like having a personal fitness trainer for one's career and life outside work.

　　Lakhani's Bold Approach coaching firm also donates some of its time to help people who are anything but

　　successful—including battered women and struggling single mothers.

　　But others in the so­called “helping professions” are not thrilled about the life­coaching movement. They say that anyone, trained or untrained, can call himself or herself a life coach, and that slick(华而不实的) promoters who mess with people's lives can do more harm than good.

　　33．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

　　A．Working Yourself Happy

　　B．Life Coaches Help with Tough Decisions

　　C．How to Cope with Daily Life with Life Coaches

　　D．The Life­Coaching Movement

　　34．The underlined phrase “life coach” in Paragraph 2 means “________”．

　　A．The career counselor who teaches skills

　　B．The psychiatrist who helps us cope with daily life

　　C．The fitness coach who teaches us lessons

　　D．The specialist who helps us make important life decisions

　　35．What is the author's attitude towards life coaches?

　　A．Cautious.

　　B．Approving.

　　C．Neutral(中立的).

　　D．Disapproving.

　　答案与解析

　　本文讲述生活中出现一些生活教练，他会给你的生活指引，激励人但也有些华而不实的生活教练相反会扰乱人们的生活。

　　33．B　标题归纳题。本文讲述生活中出现一些生活教练，他会给你的生活指引，激励人，故选B项。

　　34．A　词义猜测题。根据第二段提到She or he is called a “life_coach”. People who are at crossroads in their lives, and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost, are turning to them for help.你被叫作生活教练，当人们处在人生的十字路口，当公司想给某员工升职时，需要他们的帮助，故选A项。

　　35．C　推理判断题。根据最后一段提到生活教练的负面作用，他们有的会激励你的生活，有的会扰乱你的生活，故选C项。

　　How to Avoid Weight Gain Over Holidays

　　Do you love the holidays, but hate the pounds that follow? You are not alone. Holidays are times for feasting and celebrating. Many people are worried about their weight. __36__ Whether you are celebrating at the office party or sitting down for the traditional family dinner, regard eating as time for tasting a variety of foods. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy.

　　Here are some tips for preventing weight gain and maintaining physical fitness.

　　Don't skip meals.

　　Before you leave home, have a small, low­fat meal or snack. __37__

　　Control portions.

　　Use a small plate (about 10 inches) and put aside the large ones that may encourage you to “load up”. __38__ Once you have your “tasting” serving, move away from the dining table. Doing so will make it less tempting (吸引人的) to be eating constantly as your appetite is inspired by the sight of food.

　　Begin with soup and fruit or vegetables.

　　Fill up beforehand with water­based soup and raw fruit or vegetables. Or drink a large glass of water before you eat to help you feel full.

　　Stick to physical activity.

　　__39__ A 20­minute walk after a meal can help burn off additional calories.

　　__40__ Dishes that look oily or creamy may have a large amount of fat. Choose lean meats. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. Use lemon juice instead of dressing or butter.

　　A. This may help to avoid getting too excited before delicious food.

　　B. You had better turn your attention away from delicious foods.

　　C. With proper planning, though, it is possible to keep normal weight during the holidays.

　　D. You should be most comfortable eating an amount of food about the size of your fist.

　　E. Avoid high­fat foods.

　　F. Don't let exercise take a break during the holidays.

　　G. You'd better remember the Dos and Don'ts for keeping fit and slim.

　　答案与解析

　　假期是人们放松的时候，也是容易长胖的时候，那么如何才能既享受了假期、品尝了美味而不让体重增加呢？在本文中作者提出了几点建议：一、不要漏过每一餐；二、把食物弄成小份；三、饭前先吃水果、蔬菜和汤；四、坚持体育锻炼。这样就能有效地控制体重了。

　　36．C　前句 Many people are worried about their weight. 讲述人们害怕假期中会长胖，空后面内容却是 You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. 让人们不要惧怕美味盛宴，前后内容是转折关系，而纵观C选项内容恰好能起到承上启下的作用，由此判断答案选C。

　　37．A　本条建议是让人们在离开家去参加宴会前先吃点东西，从情理可以推测这样当人们见到美味的时候就不会因为饿而过于激动以至于大吃特吃了，而A选项内容恰好表达了此意，this 指代前面的一条建议，故答案选A。

　　38．D　本段内容是建议人们要使用小盘子装食物，这样会控制食物的量，而D选项中的 the size of your fist 揭示了这句话也是关于食物量的问题，内容符合语境，故答案选D。

　　39．F　此段的段落小标题 Stick to physical activity. 是建议人们要坚持体育锻炼，而且空后面也是让人们每天饭后步行20分钟，由此可以判断空格上的内容应该和锻炼有关，而F选项内容也是让人们不要在假期中忽略锻炼，内容符合语境，故答案选F。

　　40．E　从本段内容可知作者在此段提出的建议是要少吃油腻食品，多吃蔬菜，所以E选项内容能起到统领本段的作用，故答案选E。

　　答案与解析

　　在去年圣诞节前作者和丈夫杰夫搬进了新家。由于时间的匆忙并且在新的地方，举目无亲，所以他们没有准备过圣诞节。但是，出乎意料的是邻居们陆续前来，有的拿来了自制的面包，有的送来了圣诞贺卡，作者一家深受感动，他们决定在今年的圣诞节也去把温暖带给那些孤独的人们。

　　41．C　A．机会；B.渴望；C.时间；D.能力。根据上文 My husband Jeff and I moved into our new home in Scottsbluff last year just before Christmas. 可知他们在圣诞节前刚搬进新家，因而没时间和精力去筹备圣诞节，故选C。

　　42．A　A．孤独的；B.自由的；C.快乐的；D.通常的。根据文章倒数第二段 This year, we were again unable to be with our families for Christmas...that sense of Christmas isolation (孤立) all too well, 可以判断作者刚搬到新地方的时候是打算孤独地去过圣诞节的，故选A。

　　43．B　A．因此；B.然而；C.反正；D.同时。根据上下文 the neighborly nature of west Nebraska residents started to trickle (陆续临) in. 原本认为它将是一个孤独的圣诞节，然而却收到邻居的邀请，前后内容有转折关系，故选B。

　　44．B　A．标志；B.敲击；C.卡片；D.笔记。根据下文可知邻居来了，而且由 Apparently the doorbell wasn't working in the cold snowy weather...知道门铃坏了，所以别人只能敲门，故选B。

　　45．B　A．邀请；B.欢迎；C.驾驶；D.寄送。从语境可知杰夫的同事送了家做的面包作为对我们来这里的欢迎，故选B。

　　46．D　A．树；B.花；C.邮件；D.包裹。从下文 who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies. 可知邻居布朗一家给我们送了糕点，贺卡等，由此推测应该是用包裹包好的。故选D。

　　47．B　A．忘记；B.错过；C.安排；D.收到。因为包裹放在了门廊里，而且从上文可知门铃坏了，由此推断他们没能见到送礼物的布朗一家，所以此处指我们错过了一次邻居的来访。故选B。

　　48．A　A．温暖的；B.深的；C.真实的；D.混合的。在上文中邻居和同事带了贺卡、甜饼和面包，从情理可知作者对此非常感动，感到了他们所带来的温暖，而且这种温暖的感觉比实物持续的时间更长，故选A。

　　49．B　A．垃圾；B.雪；C.灰尘；D.树叶。从上文 Apparently the doorbell wasn't working in the cold snowy weather... 可知当时是下雪天，由此判断作者和丈夫正清扫车道上的积雪，故选B。

　　50．C　A．教；B.敦促；C.帮助；D.禁止。根据语境可知隔壁的邻居看到他们在扫雪，也过来帮忙，故选C。

　　51．B　A．准备；B.分享，分担；C.品尝；D.交换。从句意可知我们收到一个邀请去和邻居们共进圣诞晚餐，应该用 share “分享”，故选B。

　　52．A　A．客人；B.阿姨；C.少女；D.伙伴。根据下文 who also had no family in the immediate area with whom to spend the holiday. 可知这位老人也是没有家人在这个地方的，所以也是客人，故选A。

　　53．C　A．人民；B.亲戚；C.邻居；D.同事。从上文 a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors 可知他们是和邻居一起共进晚餐，所以他们对邻居心怀感激，故选C。

　　54．D　A．电话；B.问候；C.会见；D.早餐。根据上文内容可知邻居和杰夫的同事在清晨送来了吃的东西，再由下文 thanks to the Smiths' gift of bread 可以判断此处指早餐，故选D。

　　55．C　A．遗憾的；B.渴望的；C.感激的；D.准备好的。从故事内容可知作者对邻居的善意是心存感激的，故选C。

　　56．C　A．季节；B.花费；C.距离；D.情景。根据文章内容可知他们远离亲朋好友到了一个新地方，所以此处指距离和工作日程使作者不能和家人共度圣诞，故选C。

　　57．A　A．知道；B.展示；C.学习；D.发现。从上文内容可知作者刚到这个新地方的时候曾经体味过孤独的感觉，所以选A。

　　58．C　A．快乐；B.繁忙；C.单独；D.积极的。根据上文．..that sense of Christmas isolation (孤立) all too well 和下文 Lonely people are all around us, 可以推测作者曾经体会过孤独的感觉所以他们决定设法在假期里把孤独的人们聚在一起，故选C。

　　59．D　A．总是；B.通常；C.最后；D.几乎不。根据下文作者的呼吁 Just take a look around you. 可知我们大多数人几乎没有注意过身边孤独的人们，故选D。

　　60．B　A．仔细的；B.好心的；C.美丽的；D.忍耐的。根据故事的内容可知作者因为邻居、同事善意的举动而心存感激，感到了世界的温暖，所以此处作者也是指人们小小的善意之举就能使我们感觉到一个不同的世界，故选B。

　　Dear_Sir_or_Madam，

　　My name is Liu Fang, and I was a passenger on Flight LX4701 of your airline, returning from abroad on November 18,2017. Unfortunately, I found that my suitcase got lost when I arrived at the airport. I am therefore writing to ask for your help in finding my suitcase.

　　The suitcase is a yellow one, 80cm long, 40cm wide and 25cm thick, with my name tag on the back. It contains many important personal files and some scientific materials. There are also some presents I bought for my family members and friends. It will be a great disappointment to me if I can't find it.

　　I would greatly appreciate it if you could help find my lost suitcase. I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.

　　Yours_truly，
