解析:

作者通過生活中所遭受的煙霧的侵?jǐn)_,聯(lián)想到了污染的危害性，進(jìn)而呼吁國家應(yīng)大力采取措施來保護(hù)環(huán)境,盡力使其處于自然狀態(tài)。

【小題1】the other day意為“幾天前”，可以用作狀語。

【小題2】四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有have可以同時(shí)后接a drink和a talk這樣兩個(gè)賓語。

【小題3】it 為形式主語,that從句為真主語從句,全句意為“餐館里幾乎每個(gè)人都在抽煙,此事突然引起了我的注意”。A、C不能接人，應(yīng)予排除，show表示人為地展示給他人看，在此不合語境。

【小題4】it is not long before …是一個(gè)句型，表示沒過多久就……，由此可以看出煙霧之大。

【小題5】根據(jù)意義和搭配不難選定。

【小題6】ask for permission意為“請(qǐng)求允許”,其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)不合邏輯。

【小題7】這里有點(diǎn)夸張的味道，從句末的感嘆號(hào)上也能體會(huì)出作者當(dāng)時(shí)的心情。

【小題8】這里的雙重否定表示“一上街就自然地…”。B、C、D三項(xiàng)明顯不合邏輯。

【小題9】從詞語搭配角度考慮。

【小題10】只有真正地“改善了公共交通系統(tǒng)，才能使市民棄用私車”。

【小題11】目的就是要鼓勵(lì)人們把車“停放”在家中。

【小題12】由于高空中的煙霧,作者朋友在上飛行課時(shí)自然會(huì)感到身體，尤其是眼睛不舒服，由作者朋友的心理活動(dòng)I’m breathing that也可作出這種推斷。

【小題13】在高處向下看物體應(yīng)用look down at sth。

【小題14】空中的煙霧應(yīng)該視作一種“污染”。

【小題15】此處為遞進(jìn)關(guān)系，表示“能且應(yīng)該”，故用and。

【小題16】道路應(yīng)用“建設(shè)(construction)”。building表示房屋的“建筑”，應(yīng)排除。

【小題17】另三個(gè)選項(xiàng)不能概全。

【小題18】這里表達(dá)的是作者的一種愿望。

【小題19】作者意思是指要通過建公園來保護(hù)環(huán)境。根據(jù)意義不難排除另三個(gè)選項(xiàng)。

【小題20】保持自然狀態(tài)以用states為好。

It’s common to hear the honking of horns in New York. Whoever tries every day to get more than a few minutes of sleep in the city will tell you that he could do nothing about it! Honking of horns is just one of their most widely enjoyed pastimes.

But Aaron, a Japanese website developer has had enough of it. Once, the 31-year-old man approached the open window to wait for the driver to finish honking, delivered a polite "excuse me" and then yelled " Ho-o-o-o-onk!", which suggests fierce anger in Japan. Then he threw three eggs from the window of his apartment on to a passing car honking loudly below when his patience was worn out. Instead of apologizing to him, the driver threatened to kill him angrily. So, nobly, Aaron turned to non-violence. He started writing anti-honking haiku verses, a form of Japanese poetry, and submitted them to local newspapers:

Oh .forget Enron;

The problem around here is;

All the damn honking

(Enron: a major American company that recently caused a scandal by going bankrupt be­cause of corrupt(腐敗) mismanagement)

"Then this kind of chain reaction started happening," Aaron says. "All these other haiku star­ted appearing that I haven't written." Aaron’ s community is now covered in anti - hon­king poetry, written by all walks of life, ranging from scary environmental activist types to violent revolutionaries:

Patience slowly fades;

Residents store up their eggs;

That day is coming soon.

It’s no surprise that Aaron has started a website — www. honku. org — and now people from across the country send him news of their own anti - honking activities. It seems that poetry can change the world after all. Then, just recently, anti-anti- honking haiku started to appear, taped up by locals who thought Aaron should stop worrying about honking and start wor­rying about starving children, say, or war in the  Middle East instead. Aaron has an answer for that. "Stop me if this is too tenuous(不靠譜的) ," he says," but they talk about the violence in the Middle East like it' s a force of nature, like it' s beyond our control. But actually it's kind of like the honking - the violence is man -made. If we can figure out how to stop honking on the streets, I think we could learn some things that we could use on a large scale. "

1.The first paragraph of the passage is intended to tell us that_______.

A. New Yorkers have formed a habit of honking while driving

B. most New Yorkers enjoy sleeping late in the morning

C. honking noise has influenced people's life in New York

D. New Yorkers enjoy listening to the honking of horns

2.What is Aaron’s final response to the frequent honking of horns?

A. Pretended to ignore it.

B. Screamed at the driver.

C. Acted in a peaceful way.

D. Complained to the government.

3.According to the passage, most New Yorkers think Aaron's response is ___.

A. pointless

B. abnormal

C. sensitive

D. acceptable

4.Faced with the criticism of his anti-honking campaign, Aaron notes that___.

A. fierce violence in the Middle East is more of an issue worthy of concern

B. finding the solution to anti - honking is as meaningful as that to starvation

C. big issues are beyond our control while small ones are under our control

D. if not handled properly, honking may cause serious problems like starvation

閱讀理解
     In the kitchen of my mother's houses there has always been a wooden stand (木架) with a small
notepad (記事本)and a hole for a pencil.
     I'm looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother.
Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current
paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can't be the same pencil? The pad is more
modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.
     "I'm just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years." I
say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. "You still use a pencil.
Can't you afford a pen?"
      My mother replies a little sharply. "It works perfectly well. I've always kept the stand in the kitchen.
I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in those days."
     Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one
hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, "One day I was
cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the
children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the
back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on."
     This story-which happened before I was born-reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is,
as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to
wor k. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards.
Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics.
Those symbols have travelled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden
breadboard, invisible (看不到的) exhibits at every meal.

1. Why has the author's mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?

A. To leave messages.
B. To list her everyday tasks.
C. To note down maths problems.
D. To write down a flash of inspiration.

2. What is the author's original opinion about the wooden stand?

A. It has great value for the family.
B. It needs to be replaced by a better one.
C. It brings her back to her lonely childhood.
D. It should be passed on to the next generation.

3. The author feels embarrassed for             .

A. blaming her mother wrongly
B. giving her mother a lot of trouble
C. not making good use of time as her mother did
D. not making any breakthrough in her field

4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. The mother is successful in her career.
B. The family members like travelling.
C. The author had little time to play when young.
D. The marks on the breadboard have disappeared.

5. In the author's mind, her mother is             .

A. strange in behaviour
B. keen on her research
C. fond of collecting old things
D. careless about her appearance(B)
