　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　A

　　In their book Time to Eat the Dog：The Real Guide to Sustainable Living，Robert and Brenda Vale say keeping a medium-sized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10,000 km a year in a 4.6 liter Land Cruiser.

　　“We're not actually saying it is time to eat the dog.We're just saying that we need to think about and know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted.”

　　Constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0.41 hectares of land，while growing and manufacturing a dog's food takes about 0.84 hectares—or 1.1 hectares in the case of a large dog such as a German shepherd.

　　Convincing flesh-eating cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a non-starter，the Vales say.Instead they recommend keeping “greener”，smaller，and more sustainable pets，such as goldfish，chickens or rabbits.

　　The book's playful title，and serious suggestion that pet animals may be usefully“recycled”，by being eaten by their owners or turned into pet food when they die，may not appeal to animal fans.

　　Annoying as the idea may be，the question is valid given the planet's growing population and limited resources，Robert Vale said.

　　“Issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming things that are going to require us to make choices which are as difficult as eating your dog.It's not just about changing your light bulbs or taking a cloth bag to the supermarket，”he said.

　　“It's about much more challenging and difficult issues，” he added.

　　31．The authors gave their book the playful title to________.

　　A．make it amusing

　　B．create a vivid image

　　C．show writing skills

　　D．arouse people's concern

　　32．In Paragraph 3 the writer mainly wants to tell us________.

　　A．the amount of consumed land

　　B．the neglected ecological impact

　　C．some familiar examples

　　D．some actual figures

　　33．Who may not like the idea of “recycling” pet animals?

　　A．Manufacturers.

　　B．Drivers.

　　C．Animal fans.

　　D．The authorities.

　　34．What do the authors think of living a sustainable life?

　　A．Challenging.

　　B．Inspiring.

　　C．Inviting.

　　D．Touching.

　　B

　　Don't_believe_all_of_the_stereotypes(模式化的形象)you_may_have_heard_about_Americans.Even the ones that are true in general may not be true about specific individuals or a large part of the population.For example，although Americans tend to be louder than people from other cultures(especially at athletic events)，many of the people you meet will be quiet and polite.Some people may be intolerant, but most will be pleasant and welcoming.Remember that American films and television exaggerate(夸張)in order to generate excitement, and so present a rather false picture of what life in the United States is really like.Therefore，tourists in the US are not always on their best behavior.

　　Americans do tend to be more informal than people from other countries.It is common for Americans to wear casual clothing to school and to greet professors by first name.However, good manners and politeness are always appreciated.If you are polite, and dress a little more formally than your American friends, it will not be poorly thought of.

　　However，some businesses require their employees to wear a uniform or a suit.It would be improper to wear a T-shirt and blue jeans to a job interview.Some of the more prestigious restaurants require a coat and a tie.Americans tend to dress up for cultural events(the opera，theater and ballet)and to dress down for athletic events.Formal wear is required at weddings and funerals, or any other event with religion.If you rely on the stereotypes，you will likely put yourself into an embarrassing situation.

　　35. The underlined sentence probably means________.

　　A．some of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans are not true

　　B. you should not believe the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans

　　C. none of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans should be believed

　　D. none of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans should not be believed

　　36．The passage is probably written for________.

　　A．businessmen

　　B. visitors to America

　　C. American students

　　D. American film-makers

　　37．The second paragraph suggests that________.

　　A．most Americans are polite

　　B. people who are polite are welcome

　　C. casual clothing makes others uncomfortable

　　D. American students are impolite to their teachers

　　38．We can learn from the passage that________.

　　A．American films are mostly poor comedies

　　B. it is good manners to wear blue jeans to a wedding

　　C. Americans usually wear formal clothes in a theater

　　D．to dress formally makes others feel you are not easy

　　to get on with

　　答案

　　課時作業(十七)

　　Ⅰ.1.C　考查動詞在具體語境中的運用。refuse拒絕；reject拒絕，辭退，駁回；forbid禁止，不許；prevent阻止，預防。句意：作為懲罰，他被禁止離開這個房子。所以答案為C。

　　2．A　考查形容詞在具體語境中的運用。present出席的，在場的(常作后置定語)；thankful感謝的；interested感興趣的；important重要的。句意：參加聚會的人都是他的支持者。所以答案為A。

　　3．D　考查動詞辨析。keep表示“保持”；stop表示“停止”；slow表示“減速”；delay表示“延誤，延遲”。根據句意可知選D。

　　4．B　考查短語辨析。 according to 根據； regardless of 不管，不顧； in addition to 另外，除了……還有； in terms of 就……而言。句意為：他不顧及我在此事上的感受繼續往下說。

　　5．B　考查動詞短語的辨析。get back from從……回來；get rid of擺脫，除掉；get away逃跑，離開；get off下來。根據句意可知，答案為B。

　　6．B　考查介詞。本句如果改成：Sometimes it is easy to seek proper answers to food safety problems.就容易解此題了。answer后接賓語時要用介詞to。

　　7．A　result in表示“導致/造成/引起……的結果”，后跟表結果的名詞或動名詞；result from表示“(作為……的結果而)產生，發生”，后常接表示原因的名詞或動名詞。此處為現在分詞作結果狀語。

　　8．B　考查動詞辨析。accomplish指成功地完成預期的目標、任務等，通常接goal，task, journey, aim, voyage等名詞；win指贏得比賽等；finish多指日常事務的完成，強調事情的終結；complete則強調事務完整地完成或終結。

　　9．B　考查動詞辨析。promise意為“承諾”；acknowledge在這里意為“承認”；attribute (to)表示“把……歸因于”；accept 表示“接受”。根據句意可知選B。

　　10．D　考查固定句式。be about to do sth. when…是一固定句式，表示“正要做某事時，這時另外一件事情突然發生了”。

　　Ⅱ.作者通過兩個例子來說明在這個競爭激烈的社會中如何把孩子培養成一個善良的人，同時闡述了自己的一些觀點。

　　11．D　根據下文多次提到的kindness可知此處作者的回答是“要想培養善良的孩子，首先自己要是一個善良的人”。故用kind。

　　12．A　此處作者是通過舉例子的形式來說明，“當你的孩子看見你走了好遠去幫助朋友……”，可知此處see符合題意。

　　13．B　consider…as意為“把……看做，認為”，符合題意。

　　14．B　文中提到的是孩子的教育問題，因此此處應該用kids。我們是孩子的鏡子。

　　15．C　根據句意“當孩子們看到你的善良之舉時就會知道從哪里開始做起了”可知，此處用where。

　　16．D　下文提到的stomachaches有暗示。

　　17．C　rush更能形象地表達孩子對大人的擔心和關心。

　　18．A　孩子能有這樣關心人的舉動，是因為在此之前大人也這樣關心過她，因此此處用過去完成時表示動作在小孩做之前已經發生了。

　　19．B　由常識可知，善意在學校通常是被認可的，但不一定受到獎勵，因此此空填rewarded。accept“認可，贊同”，不符合本文語境。

　　20．C　在家中我們必須認可孩子的這種善意的舉動。at home 與上文 in our schools 相照應。

　　21．D　make an effort to do sth.“竭盡全力做某事”，符合語境。

　　22．B　此處是這位母親被孩子的善行所感動，因為“他是多么體貼和樂于助人啊”，此處修飾形容詞要用副詞how。

　　23．A　根據前文可知這位母親是盡力來認可自己孩子的善行，因此當孩子做了好事后母親當然會盡快地表揚他。故用quick。

　　24．D　根據句意“善良、同情心和愛心是從理解和尊重中慢慢成長起來的”可知，這些好的品德是慢慢養成的，因此要用grow。

　　25．A　此處指代前面的understanding和respect，表示兩者要用both。

　　26．A　這有助于認可孩子的體貼而不是增加競爭。increase增加；reduce 減少；prevent阻止；fill填充。

　　27．D　focus…on(使)集中于。句意為“在一個成績導向型的社會中，我們更多的是關注孩子的學習成績和運動成績而不是心靈的價值”。

　　28．B　句意見上題。value 價值標準，價值；weight重量，分量；easiness容易，溫和，舒適；satisfaction滿足，滿意。

　　29．D　take the time to do sth.在此意為“花時間做某事”。花點時間去把孩子們的善行看做是有真正價值的東西。

　　30．B　句意為“我們可以通過創辦像‘善意委員會'這樣的行動在日常生活中形成善行”。form形成；push推；throw扔；make 讓，使。
