三、阅读理解
1.This is a tale of two friends --- one is blind, the other has no arms. On their own, the two are “disabled”. But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China’s Hebei Province into a rich, green forest. Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi!
Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither
could find a job, so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee. Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season. When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a.m. when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use
branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top and with Wenqi’s direction, selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area.
Though hard-working, the men don’t make much money. But as Wenqi puts it, “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter.”
Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together, they already have everything they need --- a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world! 【1】Why did Haixia and Wenqi start working together? A．Haixia needed someone to help him. B．They both needed a way to make money. C．They wanted to improve the environment. D．They were required to do so by local offcials.
【2】Haixia and Wenqi’s forest has helped the village by______ . A．stopping floods in the rainy season B．increasing the number of tourists C．making the villagers richer D．providing more farmland
【3】Why do Haixia and Wenqi plant tree branches? A．They are easy to get. B．They do not cost money. C．They can grow very quickly. D．They are preferred by animals.
【4】In paragraph 5, when Wenqi says “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter”, he means that “______”.
A．they hope to make the forest even better B．the fruits from their trees are very sweet C．they are proud not to depend on others D．they are able to do any difficult work
【5】What can we learn from this story?
A．Never give up and you will succeed. B．We should help the disabled to work. C．Try your best when facing difficulties. D．We can achieve more with teamwork.
2.Most of us probably live without vegetables, but a world without chocolate? Now that would be hard! According to chocolate makers it could happen if we don’t act soon.
There are two main causes of the chocolate shortage --- chocolate’s growing popularity and less production of cocoa, the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate, not much can be done about the first cause.
Therefore, the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production. However, new plant diseases and little rain in Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world’s largest producers, have reduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years. What’s worse, many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa-producing countries like Indonesia and Venezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber. This way, the farmers can make more money.
To prevent more farmers from changing, researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Centre, in the UK, are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing. But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow. This takes a long time.
First, each new plant is stored at the Control Centre for six months to make sure it is healthy. It is then planted in the Centre’s fields, studied and tested for another two years. Only after scientists are certain that they’re disease-free, will the plants be sent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed.
To create new stronger types of cocoa, scientists at the Centre are combining the best parts from different cocoa plants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage, there is now hope! 【1】The first paragraph tells us that______. A．chocolate is healthier than vegetables B．the world could soon be without chocolate C．people love vegetables more than chocolate D．it’s not necessary to eat so much chocolate
【2】In which countries has chocolate become more popular in recent years? A．Venezuela and Indonesia. B．Ivory Coast and Ghana. C．Indonesia and China. D．China and India.
【3】Cocoa farmers are choosing to grow rubber and corn because these crops______. A．can make them more money B．need less rain to grow
C．can be planted more times each year D．are not damaged by plant diseases
【4】 How long does it take scientists at the Centre to make sure a cocoa plant is safe to grow? A．6 months. B．12 months. C．24 months. D．30 months.
【5】What is one of the purposes of the Cocoa Control Centre? A．To introduce cocoa production to more countries. B．To provide more chocolate for British people. C．To produce stronger types of cocoa plants. D．To make sure that cocoa is healthy to eat.
3.On March 3, 1887, the lives of two amazing women were changed forever when Anne Sullivan, a poor
university graduate, arrived at the home of the wealthy Keller family to teach their six-year-old daughter Helen. It was a difficult job as Helen was unable to see, hear or speak because of illness.
Anne had been suggested to the Kellers by her university professor, a close friend of Mr. Keller. Before she
arrived, Anne expected her new pupil to be a quiet, weak child. But Helen was nothing like that. When Anne first walked through the Kellers’ door, the energetic Helen nearly knocked her over in her hurry to feel Anne’s face, clothing and bag.
Helen was used to visitors bringing her sweets, and angrily tried to force open Anne’s case to take her candy. But Anne calmed her down by allowing Helen to play with her watch. So began one of the most successful student-teacher relationships in history.
Anne Sullivan was only twenty years old when she began teaching Helen. She had to not only teach the child all the usual school subjects, but also control Helen’s sometimes wild behaviour. Her well-meaning parents allowed Helen to do as she liked at home. Realizing that such an environment was unsuitable for learning, Anne requested that she and Helen live in a small house nearby.
As soon as Helen began learning, it became clear that she was especially intelligent. She quickly learned to read and write, and by the age of ten she could also speak.
In 1900, Helen started studying at Radcliffe University, and graduated first in her class in 1904. She was the very first blind and deaf person to get a university degree. How did she do it? Anne Sullivan read all of Helen’s books and then signed the information into her hand. Anne remained at Helen’s side until her death in 1936. Helen became a world-famous writer, and fought for disabled people’s rights until her death on Jun 1, 1968. 【1】How did Anne come to work at the Kellers’ home? A．She replied to a job advertisement. B．She was introduced by her family friend.
C．she was recommended by her university professor. D．She met Mr. Keller while studying at university.
【2】What surprised Anne most about Helen when they first met? A．How intelligent Helen was. B．Helen gave Anne a gift.
C．The way Helen’s parents treated her. D．How forceful Helen was.
【3】According to the passage, Helen’s parents______. A．allowed her to do as she wished B．gave her too many gifts and sweets. C．did not spend much time with her D．cared little about her education.
【4】Which of the following is NOT true about Helen’s university studies? A．She was greatly helped by Anne. B．She was the best student in her class. C．She was able to graduate in three years.
D．She was the first deaf and blind university graduate.
【5】According to the passage, both Anne and Helen_____. A．died in their 60s B．were well educated C．came from rich families D．fought for human rights

三、阅读理解
1.This is a tale of two friends --- one is blind, the other has no arms. On their own, the two are “disabled”. But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China’s Hebei Province into a rich, green forest. Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi!
Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither
could find a job, so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee. Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season. When the friends work together, they
focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a.m. when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use
branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top and with Wenqi’s direction, selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area.
Though hard-working, the men don’t make much money. But as Wenqi puts it, “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter.”
Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together, they already have everything they need --- a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world! 【1】Why did Haixia and Wenqi start working together? A．Haixia needed someone to help him. B．They both needed a way to make money. C．They wanted to improve the environment. D．They were required to do so by local offcials.
【答案】B
【解析】B 细节推理题。题目问的是Haixia和Wenqi开始一起工作的原因，这要原文定位到他们
开始工作的段落--B段。 The story began这句话就提醒我们他们是一个powerful team的缘由。首先介绍他们身体的残缺，关键句：Neither could find a job, so the two decided to team up.这句话的so是关键字，表示前面不能找到工作是原因，结果是后面的他们组成了一个团队。从而从不能找到工作而组队这个细节推理出出46题的答案B they both needed a way to make money，故本题选B。
【2】Haixia and Wenqi’s forest has helped the village by______ . A．stopping floods in the rainy season B．increasing the number of tourists C．making the villagers richer D．providing more farmland
【答案】A
【解析】A 细节理解题。题目问的是他们帮助村庄的方式，题目关键词：by 根据每段主题句（第一句）具体帮助村名的方式应该主要定位在C段。C段有2个关键点（通过in addition判断）：1.environmental paradise 2. save from flooding.逐一排除选项：B选项--文中没有提及。C选项--细节错误，他们帮助村民创建的是一个
environmental paradise，专注于环境的改善，并非经济上的实际收益。D选项--信息错误，文中B段仅仅提及他们租用地块，并非提供给其他村民farmland. A选项正确，定位原文C段最后一句，他们帮助村民阻止雨季中的洪灾，故选A。
【3】Why do Haixia and Wenqi plant tree branches? A．They are easy to get. B．They do not cost money. C．They can grow very quickly. D．They are preferred by animals.
【答案】B
【解析】B 细节理解题。题目问的是为什么他们种植树枝。关键字定位tree branches. 原文定位D段
第四行，关键字since，原因状语从句，表明他们使用树枝的原因是they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant. 故选B.使用树枝的原因是不需要花钱。
【4】In paragraph 5, when Wenqi says “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter”, he means that “______”.
A．they hope to make the forest even better B．the fruits from their trees are very sweet C．they are proud not to depend on others D．they are able to do any difficult work
【答案】C
【解析】C 推理判断题。把题目提及句子定位到原文倒数第二段。他们觉得果实更加甜的原因是we stand on our own feet,根据语境这里表示的意思是自己能够独立，与C选项符合，故选C.
【5】What can we learn from this story? A．Never give up and you will succeed. B．We should help the disabled to work. C．Try your best when facing difficulties. D．We can achieve more with teamwork.
【答案】D
【解析】D 主旨大意题。主旨题通常从首尾段看出，尤其最后段的感叹句强调了作者的情感，两个关 键点：1.together 2. The best friendship 表明是他们的团队精神让他们能够创造出更多的成果。 【考点定位】：人物类短文阅读。
2.Most of us probably live without vegetables, but a world without chocolate? Now that would be hard! According to chocolate makers it could happen if we don’t act soon.
There are two main causes of the chocolate shortage --- chocolate’s growing popularity and less production of cocoa, the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate, not much can be done about the first cause.
Therefore, the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production. However, new plant diseases and little rain in Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world’s largest producers, have reduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years. What’s worse, many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa-producing countries like Indonesia and Venezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber. This way, the farmers can make more money.
To prevent more farmers from changing, researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Centre, in the UK, are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing. But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow. This takes a long time.
First, each new plant is stored at the Control Centre for six months to make sure it is healthy. It is then planted in the Centre’s fields, studied and tested for another two years. Only after scientists are certain that they’re disease-free, will the plants be sent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed.
To create new stronger types of cocoa, scientists at the Centre are combining the best parts from different cocoa plants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage, there is now hope! 【1】The first paragraph tells us that______. A．chocolate is healthier than vegetables B．the world could soon be without chocolate C．people love vegetables more than chocolate D．it’s not necessary to eat so much chocolate
【答案】B
【解析】B推理判断题。第一段中心句为“According to chocolate makers it could happen if we don’t act soon. 这里it指的是a world without chocolate.”故选B。
【2】In which countries has chocolate become more popular in recent years? A．Venezuela and Indonesia. B．Ivory Coast and Ghana. C．Indonesia and China. D．China and India.
【答案】D
【解析】D细节理解题。根据短文第二段最后一句话：“With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate. ”可知，印度和中国对巧克力变得越来越受欢迎，故选D。
【3】Cocoa farmers are choosing to grow rubber and corn because these crops______. A．can make them more money B．need less rain to grow
C．can be planted more times each year D．are not damaged by plant diseases
【答案】A
【解析】A细节理解题。根据短文第三段最后一句话：“This way, the farmers can make more money. ”This指的即是“cocoa farmers are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber.”故选A。
【4】 How long does it take scientists at the Centre to make sure a cocoa plant is safe to grow? A．6 months. B．12 months. C．24 months. D．30 months.
【答案】D
【解析】D推理判断题。根据短文第五段中“First, each new plant is stored at the Control Centre for six months”、“It is then planted in the Centre’s fields, studied and tested for another two years.”，可知，需要2年6个月即30个月。故选D。
【5】What is one of the purposes of the Cocoa Control Centre? A．To introduce cocoa production to more countries. B．To provide more chocolate for British people. C．To produce stronger types of cocoa plants. D．To make sure that cocoa is healthy to eat.
【答案】C
【解析】C细节理解题。根据短文第四段中“To prevent more farmers from changing, researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Centre, in the UK, are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing.”可知，这个中心是为了创造出更新的可可树，让它们更强壮、生长更快。故应选C。 【考点定位】：科普类短文阅读。
3.On March 3, 1887, the lives of two amazing women were changed forever when Anne Sullivan, a poor
university graduate, arrived at the home of the wealthy Keller family to teach their six-year-old daughter Helen. It was a difficult job as Helen was unable to see, hear or speak because of illness.
Anne had been suggested to the Kellers by her university professor, a close friend of Mr. Keller. Before she
arrived, Anne expected her new pupil to be a quiet, weak child. But Helen was nothing like that. When Anne first walked through the Kellers’ door, the energetic Helen nearly knocked her over in her hurry to feel Anne’s face, clothing and bag.
Helen was used to visitors bringing her sweets, and angrily tried to force open Anne’s case to take her candy. But Anne calmed her down by allowing Helen to play with her watch. So began one of the most successful student-teacher relationships in history.
Anne Sullivan was only twenty years old when she began teaching Helen. She had to not only teach the child all the usual school subjects, but also control Helen’s sometimes wild behaviour. Her well-meaning parents allowed Helen to do as she liked at home. Realizing that such an environment was unsuitable for learning, Anne requested that she and Helen live in a small house nearby.
As soon as Helen began learning, it became clear that she was especially intelligent. She quickly learned to read and write, and by the age of ten she could also speak.
In 1900, Helen started studying at Radcliffe University, and graduated first in her class in 1904. She was the very first blind and deaf person to get a university degree. How did she do it? Anne Sullivan read all of Helen’s books and then signed the information into her hand. Anne remained at Helen’s side until her death in 1936. Helen became a world-famous writer, and fought for disabled people’s rights until her death on Jun 1, 1968. 【1】How did Anne come to work at the Kellers’ home? A．She replied to a job advertisement. B．She was introduced by her family friend.
C．she was recommended by her university professor. D．She met Mr. Keller while studying at university.
【答案】C
【解析】C细节理解题。根据短文第二段中“Anne had been suggested to the Kellers by her university professor, a close friend of Mr. Keller”可知，Anne是由她的大学教授推荐来到Keller的家的，故选C。
【2】What surprised Anne most about Helen when they first met? A．How intelligent Helen was. B．Helen gave Anne a gift.
C．The way Helen’s parents treated her. D．How forceful Helen was.
【答案】D
【解析】D推理判断题。第二段“Before she arrived, Anne expected her new pupil to be a quiet, weak child. But Helen was nothing like that”及Helen的表现“the energetic Helen nearly knocked her over in her hurry to feel Anne’s face, clothing and bag.”、第三段“angrily to force open Anne’s case to open her candy.” 故选D。force open sth. 意为“用力打开某物”，forceful意为“强有力的”。
【3】According to the passage, Helen’s parents______. A．allowed her to do as she wished B．gave her too many gifts and sweets. C．did not spend much time with her D．cared little about her education.
【答案】A
【解析】A细节理解题。根据短文第五段中“Her well-meaning parents allowed Helen to do as she liked at home.”可知，Helen 的父母宠溺Helen，允许她做任何她喜欢的事情，由此可知选A。
【4】Which of the following is NOT true about Helen’s university studies? A．She was greatly helped by Anne. B．She was the best student in her class. C．She was able to graduate in three years.
D．She was the first deaf and blind university graduate.
【答案】C
【解析】C推理判断题。最后一段“In 1900, Helen started studying at Radcliffe University, and graduated first in her class in 1904.”一共四年，所以C是不对的，故选C。
【5】According to the passage, both Anne and Helen_____. A．died in their 60s B．were well educated C．came from rich families D．fought for human rights
【答案】B
【解析】B细节理解题。此题可用排除法做，A选项，开头提到1887年时Helen是6岁，末尾提到她去世时是1968年，推断她去世时是87岁。C选项，由第一段“Anne Sullivan，a poor university graduate”得出C是错的。D选项文章只在最后一段提到了“Helen fought for disabled people’s right”而不是“human rights”。师徒两人均读完大学，可以被称作是“well educated”.故选B。 【考点定位】：人物类短文阅读。 4.D
