William Kamkwamba lives in Malawi, Africa, where most people have to grow their own food and have no electricity or running water. In 2001, when he was 14 years old, there was a terrible drought(干旱) and most families, including William’s, couldn’t grow enough food.
Because of the drought, William’s family couldn’t afford to send him to school anymore. So one day, William went to the library near his home to study. He found a science book called Using Energy, which included instructions for building a windmill(风车). Windmills are good sources of electricity, and they can bring water up from underground. William didn’t know much English, and he wasn’t able to understand most of the book, but it was full of pictures. Looking at the pictures, William thought he could build a windmill for his family.
When William started building his windmill, a lot of people laughed at him, including his mother. But William saw the photo of the windmill in the book. That meant someone else was able to build it, so he knew he could build it, too. He didn’t have the parts and equipment that he saw in the book’s pictures. So he looked for parts in junkyards to build his machine.
William changed his design little by little. First, the windmill powered only one light bulb(灯泡). Finally, it powered four lights. Then there was enough electricity for four lights and a radio. No one laughed at William after that, and people in his town started to come to his house to get power for their cell phones. Later, William built a second windmill. This one brought water up from underground. After that, William began to teach other people how to build windmills.
Now he uses his website, movingwindmills.org, to educate and give hope to people. His main message is this: “To the Africans and the poor who are striving for your dreams, trust yourself and believe. Whatever happens, don’t give up.”
4. What was William’s primary purpose of building a windmill?
A. To set up a family business.
B. To bring electricity to his family.
C. To realize his childhood dream.
D. To do a science experiment.
5. Which of the following can best describe William?
A. Strong-minded. B. Courageous.
C. Honest. D. Humorous.
6. What can we learn about William’s first windmill?
A. It was sold at a high price.
B. It was made of thrown-away things.
C. It could bring water up from underground.
D. It looked the same as the photo in using Energy.
7. Which word can replace the underlined word “striving” in the last Paragraph 2?
A. hoping. B. weeping.
C. struggling. D. cheering
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了威廉不顾旁人的嘲笑，坚持自己的梦想，最终制造出风车的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Windmills are good sources of electricity, and they can bring water up from underground.(风车是很好的电力来源，它们可以把水从地下带上来)”和第段“Looking at the pictures, William thought he could build a windmill for his family.(看着这些图画，威廉想他可以为家人建造一座风车)”可知，威廉主要目标是想建造一座风车给家里发电。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“When William started building his windmill, a lot of people laughed at him, including his mother.(当威廉开始建造风车时，很多人都嘲笑他，包括他的母亲)”和下文威廉成功建造出风车，以及第五段威廉的话“Whatever happens, don’t give up.(无论发生什么，都不要放弃)”可推知，威廉不易受外界的影响，认定目标就一定要去实现，是一个意志坚定的人。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“He didn’t have the parts and equipment that he saw in the book’s pictures. So he looked for parts in junkyards to build his machine.(他没有在书中图片中看到的部件和设备。所以他在废品堆积场寻找零件来制造他的机器 )”可知，威廉的风车是用废品堆积场的废弃品建造的。故选B项。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文可知，威廉通过自己的坚持，成功建造出风车发电，第五段中“To the Africans and the poor who are striving for your dreams, trust yourself and believe.(对于正在为梦想而striving的非洲人和穷人，请信任自己，相信自己)”是威廉鼓励非洲人和穷人的话，根据句意可知，他是在激励那些跟他一样追逐梦想，为梦想而奋斗的非洲人和穷人，“striving for your dreams”意为“为梦想而奋斗”，“struggle for”表达同样的意思，意为“为……奋斗”。故选C项。
C
Much information can be conveyed, purely through our eyes, so the expression “eyes also talk” is often heard.
Can you recall any experience that further proves this statement? On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger, but not make eye contact. if he senses that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.
It is the same in daily life. If you are started for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry about other’s staring at you that way. Eyes do convey information, right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man looks at a woman for more than ten seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze his intentions are obvious. That is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is showing affection for her.
However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking，to tell him that he is attentive.
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to control you, you will feel uneasy. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes the false ideas that to look straight in the eyes is a sign of honest communication.
In fact, continuous eye contact happens between lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show love that words can’t express.
Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.
8. What may a person usually do on a bus?
A. Glance at a stranger with eye contact.
B. Use eyes to talk to a stranger politely.
C. Glance at a stranger without eye contact.
D. Talk to a stranger politely after a quick glance.
9. What does it mean if a man looks at a woman for over ten seconds?
A. He likes her eyes. B. He admires her.
C. He knows her well. D. He makes contact with her.
10. Why is a poor liar easy to be seen through?
A. He thinks that he is honest.
B. He wants to control the victim.
C. He feels uneasy about other’s eye contact.
D. He looks straight at the victim for too long a time.
11. In which section of a newspaper can we find the text?
A. Environment B. History
C. Sport D. Manner
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了眼睛能够传递很多信息。通过列举不同情况下，眼睛表达的不同意义，证明了“眼睛会说话”。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger, but not make eye contact.(在公共汽车上，你可能会快速地瞥一眼陌生人，但不会有眼神交流)”可知，在公交车上人们只是瞥一眼陌生人，不会进行眼神交流。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze, his intentions are obvious. That is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is showing affection for her.(如果一个男人盯着一个女人看超过10秒，并且不把目光移开，他的意图就很明显了。也就是说，他希望引起她的注意，让她明白他在向她示爱)”可知，一个男人凝视一个女性超过10秒，则表示这个男人想让女人知道他很欣赏她，故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.(一个差劲的说谎者通常会通过长时间盯着对方而暴露自己，因为他认为直视对方的眼睛是一种诚实沟通的表现，这是一种错误的想法)”可知，一个拙劣的骗子通常因为长时间看着受害人而暴露自己，故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Much information can be conveyed, purely through our eyes, so the expression “eyes also talk” is often heard.(很多信息都可以通过我们的眼睛传达，所以“眼睛也会说话”这句话经常被听到)”结合本文主要讲述了眼睛能够传递很多信息，通过列举不同情况下，眼睛表达的不同意义，证明了“眼睛会说话”，所以本文主要是谈论眼神这个行为可以表达很多的含义，所以文章可能出自报纸的“举止、态度”这个部分，故选D。
D
If you were to throw, say, a banana peel out of your car while driving along the motorway, that would be a completely harmless action, due to the fact that it’s part of a fruit, right? Actually, no. A banana peel can take up two years to decompose (分解), and with a third of motorists admitting to littering while driving, that’s a whole lot of waste banana peels, or much worse. An orange peel and a cigarette butt has a similar biodegrading (生物降解) term to that of a banana, but tin and aluminum (铝) cans last up to100 years; and plastic bottles last forever, as do glass bottles and plastic bags.
Despite the fact that longer-lasting materials will serve to damage the environment, we can’t only measure the severity (严重) of a certain type of rubbish by its lifetime. For example, despite having a fairly short biodegrading span, more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is thrown in the UK every day. Similarly, our regular littering here and there has caused the UK’s mouse population to increase by 60 million. This suddenly isn’t so mysterious when you consider that since the 1960s our annual littering has increased by an astonishing 500 percent.
It’s not a cheap habit either: UK taxpayers spent £500 million on keeping the streets clean. So, it’s not surprising that if caught fly-tipping, you could face a £20, 000 fine. Regardless of how severe the punishment might seem, however, among the reported cases only 2, 000 were punished out of 825, 000, so we still have some way to go in making sure people obey the rules.
To take back our beautiful cities, we need to do more than simply not leaving rubbish where it ought not to be. We need to care more about the world around us.
12. Which of the following is the easiest to decompose in the passage?
A. A glass bottle. B. A plastic bag. C. An aluminum can. D. An orange peel.
13. What can we know from paragraph 2?
A. Annual littering has increased a little in the UK since the 1960s.
B. Shorter-lasting materials will be less harmful to the environment.
C Cigarette-related littering is a severe environmental problem in the UK.
D. Regular littering has caused the UK’s mouse population to reach 60 million.
14. Which of the following can best describe the UK’s punishment on littering?
A. Every little helps. B. More haste, less speed.
C. No pain, no gain. D. A drop in the bucket.
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Littering, a Surprisingly Big Issue
B. Environment Issues, a Big Concern
C. Rubbish Collection, an Urgent Task
D. Long-lasting Material, a Hidden Danger
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了不同的垃圾降解需要的时间不同，以此来号召人们合法扔垃圾。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“A banana peel can take up two years to decompose… An orange peel and a cigarette butt has a similar biodegrading term to that of a banana, but tin and aluminum cans last up to100 years; and plastic bottles last forever, as do glass bottles and plastic bags.(香蕉皮需要两年的时间才能分解……橙子皮和烟蒂的生物降解与香蕉相似，但锡罐和铝罐可达100年；塑料瓶可以永久保存，玻璃瓶和塑料袋也是如此。)”可知橙子皮和香蕉皮相似，需要2年可以分解，铝罐需要100年才可以分解，玻璃瓶、塑料袋和塑料瓶一样，可以永久保存，因此香蕉皮是最容易分解的。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“despite having a fairly short biodegrading span, more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is thrown in the UK every day.(尽管生物降解时间很短，但英国每天仍有超过120吨与香烟相关的垃圾被丢弃。)”可知英国每天仍有超过120吨与香烟相关的垃圾被丢弃，C选项“Cigarette-related littering is a severe environmental problem in the UK(在英国，与香烟相关的乱扔垃圾是一个严重的环境问题)”符合文意。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“Regardless of how severe the punishment might seem, however, among the reported cases only 2, 000 were punished out of 825, 000, so we still have some way to go in making sure people obey the rules.(然而，不管处罚看起来有多严厉，在报告的82.5万起案件中，只有2000起受到了处罚，因此，在确保人们遵守规则方面，我们还有一段路要走。)”可知在报告的82.5万起案件中，只有2000起受到了处罚，说明处罚的力度不够强。D选项“A drop in the bucket (九牛一毛)”符合文意。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第一段“If you were to throw, say, a banana peel out of your car while driving along the motorway, that would be a completely harmless action, due to the fact that it’s part of a fruit, right? Actually, no.(如果你在高速公路上开车时从车里扔出一个香蕉皮，那将是一个完全无害的行为，因为它是水果的一部分，对吧？事实上，不是)”及最后一段“To take back our beautiful cities, we need to do more than simply not leaving rubbish where it ought not to be. We need to care more about the world around us.(为了夺回我们美丽的城市，我们需要做的不仅仅是不把垃圾留在不该留在的地方。我们需要更多地关心我们周围的世界)”可知，本文主要讲乱扔垃圾是一个大问题，这种行为造成的影响不容忽视，因此我们不能乱扔。A项“乱扔垃圾，一个令人惊讶的大问题”可以作为本文标题。故选A项。

Ways to make a great first impression

● Be on time
When meeting someone for the first time, arriving on time is as important as breathing. You may have an excuse, but that will leave the person who hardly knows you with a bad impression.
____17____ It’s better to be hanging around the place than be stuck in traffic.
● Introduce yourself and ask for names
Make sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask for their names in a polite way. ____18____. This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future. Always remember to stand up when greeting someone and be sure to introduce them to anyone you’re with.

G. However, don’t have your left hand in your pocket because this appears impolite.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. C 19. A 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种给人留下好印象的几种方法。
【16题详解】
上文“Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left.”（大多数人用右手，除非他们有理由用左手。）可知大多数人用右手，但是没有说明左手应该怎样放；G项“However, don’t have your left hand in your pocket because this appears impolite”（但是，不要把左手放在口袋里，因为这样显得不礼貌。）下文承接了上文，说明了左手不要放在口袋里，因为显得不礼貌。故选G项。
【17题详解】
下文“It’s better to be hanging around the place than be stuck in traffic”（在附近闲逛总比堵在路上好。）可知提前到达比堵在路上好，可推知上文讲的是到达时间的早晚，只有到达早了才会有时间闲逛；E项“As a general rule, plan to arrive about 30 minutes early”（一般来说，计划提前30分钟到达）讲的正是到达时间的早晚，符合题意，故选E项。
【18题详解】
上文“Ask for their names in a polite way”（以礼貌的方式询问他们的名字），提到要询问他们的名字；下文“This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future”（这将增加他们将来记住你名字的机会。）可知“This”所指的事情应该就是空处所描述的事情，是关于“their names”的事情；C项“Repeat the name and use it later in conversation”（重复这个名字并在以后的谈话中使用它）讲述的正是关于在询问他们名字后，接下来该怎么做的问题。C符合题意，故选C项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“To get the most out of your discussion, try to find something common between the two of you.”（为了充分利用你们的讨论，试着找到你们两个之间的共同点。）寻找共同点，可能会使谈话更顺利和融洽，会促成一次良好的谈话，这样才能充分利用这次讨论的机会。A项“Make good conversation”（进行良好的谈话）与本段讲述的观点一致，故可以作为本段的标题。故选A项。
【20题详解】
上文“try to find something common between the two of you.”（试着找到你们两个之间的共同点）可知提到了寻找共同点这个办法；下文“A person will feel more comfortable with someone they can relate to (产生共鸣).”（有人能与他们产生共鸣会让一个人觉得更舒服）可知也提到了寻找共同点的作用；D项“It could be a similar taste in clothes or a common hobby.”（这可能是对衣服的相似品味或共同的爱好。）讲述的也是共同点比如衣服的品味和共同爱好，与上下文所叙述的话题是想吻合的，故选D项。

William Kamkwamba lives in Malawi, Africa, where most people have to grow their own food and have no electricity or running water. In 2001, when he was 14 years old, there was a terrible drought(干旱) and most families, including William’s, couldn’t grow enough food.
Because of the drought, William’s family couldn’t afford to send him to school anymore. So one day, William went to the library near his home to study. He found a science book called Using Energy, which included instructions for building a windmill(风车). Windmills are good sources of electricity, and they can bring water up from underground. William didn’t know much English, and he wasn’t able to understand most of the book, but it was full of pictures. Looking at the pictures, William thought he could build a windmill for his family.
When William started building his windmill, a lot of people laughed at him, including his mother. But William saw the photo of the windmill in the book. That meant someone else was able to build it, so he knew he could build it, too. He didn’t have the parts and equipment that he saw in the book’s pictures. So he looked for parts in junkyards to build his machine.
William changed his design little by little. First, the windmill powered only one light bulb(灯泡). Finally, it powered four lights. Then there was enough electricity for four lights and a radio. No one laughed at William after that, and people in his town started to come to his house to get power for their cell phones. Later, William built a second windmill. This one brought water up from underground. After that, William began to teach other people how to build windmills.
Now he uses his website, movingwindmills.org, to educate and give hope to people. His main message is this: “To the Africans and the poor who are striving for your dreams, trust yourself and believe. Whatever happens, don’t give up.”
4. What was William’s primary purpose of building a windmill?
A. To set up a family business.
B. To bring electricity to his family.
C. To realize his childhood dream.
D. To do a science experiment.
5. Which of the following can best describe William?
A. Strong-minded. B. Courageous.
C. Honest. D. Humorous.
6. What can we learn about William’s first windmill?
A. It was sold at a high price.
B. It was made of thrown-away things.
C. It could bring water up from underground.
D. It looked the same as the photo in using Energy.
7. Which word can replace the underlined word “striving” in the last Paragraph 2?
A. hoping. B. weeping.
C. struggling. D. cheering
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了威廉不顾旁人的嘲笑，坚持自己的梦想，最终制造出风车的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Windmills are good sources of electricity, and they can bring water up from underground.(风车是很好的电力来源，它们可以把水从地下带上来)”和第段“Looking at the pictures, William thought he could build a windmill for his family.(看着这些图画，威廉想他可以为家人建造一座风车)”可知，威廉主要目标是想建造一座风车给家里发电。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“When William started building his windmill, a lot of people laughed at him, including his mother.(当威廉开始建造风车时，很多人都嘲笑他，包括他的母亲)”和下文威廉成功建造出风车，以及第五段威廉的话“Whatever happens, don’t give up.(无论发生什么，都不要放弃)”可推知，威廉不易受外界的影响，认定目标就一定要去实现，是一个意志坚定的人。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“He didn’t have the parts and equipment that he saw in the book’s pictures. So he looked for parts in junkyards to build his machine.(他没有在书中图片中看到的部件和设备。所以他在废品堆积场寻找零件来制造他的机器 )”可知，威廉的风车是用废品堆积场的废弃品建造的。故选B项。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文可知，威廉通过自己的坚持，成功建造出风车发电，第五段中“To the Africans and the poor who are striving for your dreams, trust yourself and believe.(对于正在为梦想而striving的非洲人和穷人，请信任自己，相信自己)”是威廉鼓励非洲人和穷人的话，根据句意可知，他是在激励那些跟他一样追逐梦想，为梦想而奋斗的非洲人和穷人，“striving for your dreams”意为“为梦想而奋斗”，“struggle for”表达同样的意思，意为“为……奋斗”。故选C项。
C
Much information can be conveyed, purely through our eyes, so the expression “eyes also talk” is often heard.
Can you recall any experience that further proves this statement? On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger, but not make eye contact. if he senses that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.
It is the same in daily life. If you are started for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry about other’s staring at you that way. Eyes do convey information, right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man looks at a woman for more than ten seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze his intentions are obvious. That is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is showing affection for her.
However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking，to tell him that he is attentive.
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to control you, you will feel uneasy. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes the false ideas that to look straight in the eyes is a sign of honest communication.
In fact, continuous eye contact happens between lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show love that words can’t express.
Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.
8. What may a person usually do on a bus?
A. Glance at a stranger with eye contact.
B. Use eyes to talk to a stranger politely.
C. Glance at a stranger without eye contact.
D. Talk to a stranger politely after a quick glance.
9. What does it mean if a man looks at a woman for over ten seconds?
A. He likes her eyes. B. He admires her.
C. He knows her well. D. He makes contact with her.
10. Why is a poor liar easy to be seen through?
A. He thinks that he is honest.
B. He wants to control the victim.
C. He feels uneasy about other’s eye contact.
D. He looks straight at the victim for too long a time.
11. In which section of a newspaper can we find the text?
A. Environment B. History
C. Sport D. Manner
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了眼睛能够传递很多信息。通过列举不同情况下，眼睛表达的不同意义，证明了“眼睛会说话”。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger, but not make eye contact.(在公共汽车上，你可能会快速地瞥一眼陌生人，但不会有眼神交流)”可知，在公交车上人们只是瞥一眼陌生人，不会进行眼神交流。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze, his intentions are obvious. That is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is showing affection for her.(如果一个男人盯着一个女人看超过10秒，并且不把目光移开，他的意图就很明显了。也就是说，他希望引起她的注意，让她明白他在向她示爱)”可知，一个男人凝视一个女性超过10秒，则表示这个男人想让女人知道他很欣赏她，故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.(一个差劲的说谎者通常会通过长时间盯着对方而暴露自己，因为他认为直视对方的眼睛是一种诚实沟通的表现，这是一种错误的想法)”可知，一个拙劣的骗子通常因为长时间看着受害人而暴露自己，故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Much information can be conveyed, purely through our eyes, so the expression “eyes also talk” is often heard.(很多信息都可以通过我们的眼睛传达，所以“眼睛也会说话”这句话经常被听到)”结合本文主要讲述了眼睛能够传递很多信息，通过列举不同情况下，眼睛表达的不同意义，证明了“眼睛会说话”，所以本文主要是谈论眼神这个行为可以表达很多的含义，所以文章可能出自报纸的“举止、态度”这个部分，故选D。
D
If you were to throw, say, a banana peel out of your car while driving along the motorway, that would be a completely harmless action, due to the fact that it’s part of a fruit, right? Actually, no. A banana peel can take up two years to decompose (分解), and with a third of motorists admitting to littering while driving, that’s a whole lot of waste banana peels, or much worse. An orange peel and a cigarette butt has a similar biodegrading (生物降解) term to that of a banana, but tin and aluminum (铝) cans last up to100 years; and plastic bottles last forever, as do glass bottles and plastic bags.
Despite the fact that longer-lasting materials will serve to damage the environment, we can’t only measure the severity (严重) of a certain type of rubbish by its lifetime. For example, despite having a fairly short biodegrading span, more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is thrown in the UK every day. Similarly, our regular littering here and there has caused the UK’s mouse population to increase by 60 million. This suddenly isn’t so mysterious when you consider that since the 1960s our annual littering has increased by an astonishing 500 percent.
It’s not a cheap habit either: UK taxpayers spent £500 million on keeping the streets clean. So, it’s not surprising that if caught fly-tipping, you could face a £20, 000 fine. Regardless of how severe the punishment might seem, however, among the reported cases only 2, 000 were punished out of 825, 000, so we still have some way to go in making sure people obey the rules.
To take back our beautiful cities, we need to do more than simply not leaving rubbish where it ought not to be. We need to care more about the world around us.
12. Which of the following is the easiest to decompose in the passage?
A. A glass bottle. B. A plastic bag. C. An aluminum can. D. An orange peel.
13. What can we know from paragraph 2?
A. Annual littering has increased a little in the UK since the 1960s.
B. Shorter-lasting materials will be less harmful to the environment.
C Cigarette-related littering is a severe environmental problem in the UK.
D. Regular littering has caused the UK’s mouse population to reach 60 million.
14. Which of the following can best describe the UK’s punishment on littering?
A. Every little helps. B. More haste, less speed.
C. No pain, no gain. D. A drop in the bucket.
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Littering, a Surprisingly Big Issue
B. Environment Issues, a Big Concern
C. Rubbish Collection, an Urgent Task
D. Long-lasting Material, a Hidden Danger
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了不同的垃圾降解需要的时间不同，以此来号召人们合法扔垃圾。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“A banana peel can take up two years to decompose… An orange peel and a cigarette butt has a similar biodegrading term to that of a banana, but tin and aluminum cans last up to100 years; and plastic bottles last forever, as do glass bottles and plastic bags.(香蕉皮需要两年的时间才能分解……橙子皮和烟蒂的生物降解与香蕉相似，但锡罐和铝罐可达100年；塑料瓶可以永久保存，玻璃瓶和塑料袋也是如此。)”可知橙子皮和香蕉皮相似，需要2年可以分解，铝罐需要100年才可以分解，玻璃瓶、塑料袋和塑料瓶一样，可以永久保存，因此香蕉皮是最容易分解的。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“despite having a fairly short biodegrading span, more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is thrown in the UK every day.(尽管生物降解时间很短，但英国每天仍有超过120吨与香烟相关的垃圾被丢弃。)”可知英国每天仍有超过120吨与香烟相关的垃圾被丢弃，C选项“Cigarette-related littering is a severe environmental problem in the UK(在英国，与香烟相关的乱扔垃圾是一个严重的环境问题)”符合文意。故选C项。
【14题详解】

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第一段“If you were to throw, say, a banana peel out of your car while driving along the motorway, that would be a completely harmless action, due to the fact that it’s part of a fruit, right? Actually, no.(如果你在高速公路上开车时从车里扔出一个香蕉皮，那将是一个完全无害的行为，因为它是水果的一部分，对吧？事实上，不是)”及最后一段“To take back our beautiful cities, we need to do more than simply not leaving rubbish where it ought not to be. We need to care more about the world around us.(为了夺回我们美丽的城市，我们需要做的不仅仅是不把垃圾留在不该留在的地方。我们需要更多地关心我们周围的世界)”可知，本文主要讲乱扔垃圾是一个大问题，这种行为造成的影响不容忽视，因此我们不能乱扔。A项“乱扔垃圾，一个令人惊讶的大问题”可以作为本文标题。故选A项。

Ways to make a great first impression
You’ve heard it a million times already, but it really does take a few seconds to make that all-important first impression (印象). Here are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers.
● Have a proper handshake
Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The handshake should not be too strong or weak. Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left. ____16____.
● Be on time
When meeting someone for the first time, arriving on time is as important as breathing. You may have an excuse, but that will leave the person who hardly knows you with a bad impression.
____17____ It’s better to be hanging around the place than be stuck in traffic.
● Introduce yourself and ask for names
Make sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask for their names in a polite way. ____18____. This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future. Always remember to stand up when greeting someone and be sure to introduce them to anyone you’re with.
●____19____
To get the most out of your discussion, try to find something common between the two of you. ____20____. A person will feel more comfortable with someone they can relate to (产生共鸣).
A. Make good conversation
B. Use body language
C. Repeat the name and use it later in conversation.
D. It could be a similar taste in clothes or a common hobby.
E. As a general rule, plan to arrive about 30 minutes early.
F. You’ll be in serious trouble if you leave them with a bad impression.
G. However, don’t have your left hand in your pocket because this appears impolite.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. C 19. A 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种给人留下好印象的几种方法。
【16题详解】
上文“Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left.”（大多数人用右手，除非他们有理由用左手。）可知大多数人用右手，但是没有说明左手应该怎样放；G项“However, don’t have your left hand in your pocket because this appears impolite”（但是，不要把左手放在口袋里，因为这样显得不礼貌。）下文承接了上文，说明了左手不要放在口袋里，因为显得不礼貌。故选G项。
【17题详解】
下文“It’s better to be hanging around the place than be stuck in traffic”（在附近闲逛总比堵在路上好。）可知提前到达比堵在路上好，可推知上文讲的是到达时间的早晚，只有到达早了才会有时间闲逛；E项“As a general rule, plan to arrive about 30 minutes early”（一般来说，计划提前30分钟到达）讲的正是到达时间的早晚，符合题意，故选E项。
【18题详解】
上文“Ask for their names in a polite way”（以礼貌的方式询问他们的名字），提到要询问他们的名字；下文“This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future”（这将增加他们将来记住你名字的机会。）可知“This”所指的事情应该就是空处所描述的事情，是关于“their names”的事情；C项“Repeat the name and use it later in conversation”（重复这个名字并在以后的谈话中使用它）讲述的正是关于在询问他们名字后，接下来该怎么做的问题。C符合题意，故选C项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“To get the most out of your discussion, try to find something common between the two of you.”（为了充分利用你们的讨论，试着找到你们两个之间的共同点。）寻找共同点，可能会使谈话更顺利和融洽，会促成一次良好的谈话，这样才能充分利用这次讨论的机会。A项“Make good conversation”（进行良好的谈话）与本段讲述的观点一致，故可以作为本段的标题。故选A项。
【20题详解】
上文“try to find something common between the two of you.”（试着找到你们两个之间的共同点）可知提到了寻找共同点这个办法；下文“A person will feel more comfortable with someone they can relate to (产生共鸣).”（有人能与他们产生共鸣会让一个人觉得更舒服）可知也提到了寻找共同点的作用；D项“It could be a similar taste in clothes or a common hobby.”（这可能是对衣服的相似品味或共同的爱好。）讲述的也是共同点比如衣服的品味和共同爱好，与上下文所叙述的话题是想吻合的，故选D项。
