分析 這篇文章主要介紹了為了減輕書包的重量,美國發(fā)明了一種新的書包.它帶有顯示屏,學生只要下載教材到里面,就能夠把書包當課本用.這種書包已經開始了試用,這是否意味著我們要告別紙質教材呢?

解答 56-60 CACBD
56.C:詞義猜測題.從后文Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other,and paining(疼痛) too.沒有人愿意一個肩膀比另一個肩膀低,并承受疼痛.從而判斷沒人愿意背大而重的書包,故選C.
57.A:細節(jié)理解題.文章第一段 In India,most of us would look at the reduction(減少) of textbooks as a way out.在印度,大多數(shù)人認為減輕課本的重量是一個解決辦法,故選A.
58.C:判斷推理題.在文章But in a country like America,there are always more choices及下文,講了美國減輕書包重量這個方法的優(yōu)點,從而判斷作者認為這個方法更好,故選C.
59.B:判斷推理題.從文中描述The Goreader has a colour screen and can"hold"all the textbooks that a student may need.這種Goreader書包有個彩色屏幕,能個容納所有學生的教材;All the students will have to download their textbooks.學生要做的就是下載課本.從而判斷這種書包可以用做教材,故選B.
60.D:判斷推理題.根據(jù)文中的描述,學生們不再需要紙張的教材,只要下載教材就能通過Goreader書包來學習,以及文章的最后一句Does that mean it is goodbye to the newspaper,and the smell of the black ink?這是否意味著要和紙張和黑色墨水顏色說再見了呢?從而判斷D正確.

點評 本文有一定的難度,文章稍長,出現(xiàn)了一些生詞需要自己結合文章來理解,本文的問題大部分是細節(jié)理解題,可以直接從文中找出,剩下的是主旨大意題只要理解文章意思也可輕松解答.

14.Happiness is important for everyone.Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness.Money and success don't bring lasting happiness.Happiness depends on ourselves.In other words,we make our own happiness.
Some people believe that if they are wealthy,they will be able to do anything they want,which means happiness.On the other hand,some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness.In this way,you have not only money,but also many other things which can't be bought by money.However,other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness,nor is holding a high position in the government.These people value(重視) their beliefs,or their intelligence,or their health.They think these can make them happy.

Finally,many people find happiness in helping others.According to studies,people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people.If you want to feel happier,do something nice for someone.You can help a friend with his or her studies,go shopping to get food for an old neighbor,or simply help around the house.

11.Watching news about the environment on TV can make people feeel terrible.The problems seem so big that it's difficult to imagine how persons can do anything about them.Rebecca Hosking,however,thought differently.
Rebecca is a wilflife camerawoman and she was filming a documentary for the BBC in the Pacific Ocean when she saw something that made her cry-quite a lot of dead birds that had died because they had eaten some plastic that is thrown into the sea each year.Beaches that used to be beautiful were covered with plastic toys,bottles,pens-every plastic thing you can think of.
Rebecca decided she had to do something.Back at home she thought about what she could do to help deal with the problem of throwaway plastic.In her home town of Modbury,she asked local shop owners to stop using plastic bags in their shops.
Plastic bags are used everywhere in the UK.The numbers are amazing.The UK uses are nearly 17,000,000,000plastic bags each year.And the bags can take a very long time to break down because they are chemical(化學物)rather than natural,so each year the sea and the environment become more and more polluted.
To Rebecca's surprise,the shop owners agreed and Modbury became the first plastic bag free town in the UK.Instead,shops offered cotton bags or paper bags.Other towns around the UK followed Modbury's example and are becoming plastic bag free.It won't deal with all of the world's environment problems but it shows that there is something we can do and one person can make a big change with a strong enough decision.

48.Rebecca cried one day when sheC.
A.found the ocean was polluted                B.was thrown into the water
C.saw quite a lot of dead birds                 D.was listening to BBC news
49.According to the passage,RebeccaA.
A.comes from a town in the UK                B.has never used plastic bags
C.works as an actress in films                  D.often travels to the beaches
50.The passage tells us thatB.
A.people usually feel terrible while watching TV
B.we can do something about environment peoblems
C.plastic bags are used in all towns except Modbury
D.the shop owners were against Rebecca's idea
51.The best title for the passage might beC.
A.The Dead Birds                          B.The Town of  Modbury
C.The Bag Lady                           D.The Plastic Bags.
