【題目】 Recently, I was interviewed by a parenting magazine for a story it was running on eco-parenting (環(huán)保式育兒).

The reporter explained that it was expensive to be an eco-parent, with organic baby food and clothing to buy.

But I told her, “I’m sorry, but eco-parenting isn’t about buying ecologically-produced versions of products we think we may need. It’s about discovering what we don’t need.” I told the reporter about my daughter Sarah’s simple wish for a pink balloon on her birthday, but she felt that things would inevitably (不可避免地) change as Sarah grew up and adopted more materialistic desires.

I agreed that Sarah may not always be interested in such simple gifts as balloons, but I couldn’t agree that a birthday needs to be about materialistic desires. To me, a birthday is an opportunity to celebrate the life and the development of person. Do we need to see a table covered with gifts to know that our family and friends love us? Somewhere in our consumer culture, we’ve confused material items with expressions of love and gratitude.

My own birthday was just a few days ago. It came and went in the middle of a snow storm, and my birthday party was canceled. While my husband and I spent much of the day clearing the snow, Sarah made some little dolls for me.

And when we came in to rest, Ula climbed onto my lap and sang Happy Birthday. Throughout the day, my friends called to wish me a happy day, and my mother called, upset that she couldn’t visit.

Later, my husband apologized that he was unable to do anything special for me that day. “I had a fantastic birthday,” I replied, as thought of all the love I’d felt.

【1】What does the author think eco-parents should do according to the article?

A.Buy organic foods and clothing for their kids.

B.Teach their kids to protect the environment.

C.Try to avoid buying useless things for their kids.

D.Allow their kids to make their own choices in life.

【2】What does the author intend to express with Sarah’s story?

A.A pink balloon is the best birthday gift for girls.

B.Kids’ material desires will change as they grow up.

C.We don’t have to express our love with expensive gifts.

D.A birthday is a good occasion for us to seek new experiences.

【3】Why did the author think that her birthday was fantastic?

A.Her husband did something special for her.

B.Many friends came and celebrated it with her.

C.She received meaningful gifts from her children.

D.She felt a lot of love from her family and friends.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】C

【3】D

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。作者通過自己的親身經(jīng)歷來說明表達心意時不必過分強調(diào)物質(zhì)的觀點，沒有必要用昂貴的禮物來表來達我們的心意。

【1】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中作者的話It’s about discovering what we don’t need.可知，環(huán)保型育兒不是指買一些可能需要的環(huán)保型產(chǎn)品，而是避免買一些不需要的物品，其他三項文中未體現(xiàn)。故選C。

【2】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的I agreed that Sarah may not always be interested in such simple gifts as balloons, but I couldn’t agree that a birthday needs to be about materialistic desires.以及后文可推知，作者想以Sarah的故事傳達出表達心意時不必過分強調(diào)物質(zhì)的觀點，沒有必要用昂貴的禮物表達我們的心意，A項文中未體現(xiàn)；由第四段可知，作者是說隨著Sarah長大，她有了更多的物質(zhì)欲望，不是指所有的孩子，而且也不符合作者意圖，因此可排除B項；D項的重點在過生日上，而作者用這個例子重點在eco-parenting和consumer culture上。故選C。

【3】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后三段可知，作者生日那天天氣不好，生日聚會被取消了，但是那天她收到了女兒為她做的布娃娃，Ula為她唱生日歌，朋友和父母都打來電話祝賀她，以及丈夫為沒能給她過一個特別的生日而道歉，這些事讓作者感受到了滿滿的愛，所以她認為她的那次生日棒極了。由最后一段中的Later, my husband apologized that he was unable to do anything special for me that day.可知，A項錯誤；由倒數(shù)第二段中的Throughout the day, my friends called to wish me a happy day, and my mother called, upset that she couldn’t visit.可知，B項錯誤；由最后兩段可排除C項。故選D。

【題目】 For thousands of years, salting was a common way to preserve food. Corned beef (咸牛肉）, bacon, green beans, and hundreds of other foods were preserved with salt.【1】 Then, in the 1800s, a Frenchman named Louis Pasteur discovered the secret: bacteria.

What does salt have to do with bacteria? Two things: First, bacteria need moisture (水分）to grow and multiply. Salt pulls moisture out of food, so the bacteria die. 【2】 If you cover food with salt or very salty liquid, bacteria outside the food die before they get in, and bacteria already in the food are poisoned by the salt that goes inside.

【3】 For meat or fish,you pour on a layer of salt, then rub it in well, leaving a salt crust (盾）all over the outside. Hams are often made this way. Another way is to put food into very salty water, called brine (鹵水）.【4】 The salt will draw the moisture out of the food, creating a kind of brine that the food sits in.

Today, in most parts of the world, salting, is no longer necessary. 【5】 But even though we no longer rely on salt to keep our food fresh, we haven’t lost our taste for salt. We don’t want to give up our bacon, corned beef or salted beans.

A.So how do you preserve food with salt?

B.Next, it can make food too salty to eat.

C.Second, salt is poisonous to many bacteria.

D.But for a long time, no one knew why salt worked.

E.You can alternate layers of food and salt in a big jar.

F.People buy food in cans, keep it in the refrigerator, or freeze it.

G.They use salt to preserve meat, fish, vegetables, and even fruit.

【題目】 Dangwal was a teacher in Bankholi village from December 2016 till August 21th this year. The school is attended by about 200 children of seven villages. “I had spent nearly three years teaching children in this school and spending time with the villagers. They always considered me as a member of their own family. That is why when I told them that I have been sent to another school, they could not believe it,” said Dangwal.

On learning his leaving, the villagers told him that they would like to organize a “Goodbye” party for him, on which he agreed but placed a condition that “It should be a small one.” However, on the final day I was surprised to see a large number of villagers gathered near the school with drums. As soon as I stepped out of the school, children and women started crying by hugging me while asking me not to go. The love brought tears to my eyes as well,” Dangwal said.

Remembering his early days in the school, Dangwal said it was not easy for him to adjust but gradually he managed it. “In the six months, I faced some problems as the culture and language of the villagers in the area was different from mine. I learnt it, which helped me to get along with the children and villagers,” Dangwal recalled.

“He was not just a teacher of our children but one of us. He always stood with every villager in the hour of need. His leaving the school is a big loss for us,” one of the villagers, Mamta Rawat, said while praising Dangwal.

He was one of the few teachers who decided to live in the village where the school was located while most of the teachers would live at more comfortable places away from the village. This really touched us,” said another villager Harish Uniyal. “He would always be in our hearts,” Uniyal further added.

【1】What is Dangwal’s requirement about the “Goodbye” party?

A.Villagers should gather near the school.B.Only a few people should be involved.

C.Drums should be brought there.D.Students shouldn’t cry.

【2】What difficulty did Dangwal meet with at first?

A.He found it hard to get along with his students.B.The food there didn’t agree with him.

C.He had to teach about 200 students.D.He couldn’t understand the local language.

【3】What does the underlined word “This” in the last paragraph refer to?

A.Dangwal was ready to help others.

B.Dangwal couldn’t hold back tears saying “goodbye”.

C.Dangwal didn’t mind the uncomfortable living conditions.

D.Dangwal made friends with the villagers.

【4】What’s the text mainly about?
