B
At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.
More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody(抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.
“Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. He’s made 1,162 donations from his right arm and 10 from his left.
“I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations — and they certainly don’t take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save.
Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.
4. What do we know about James Harrison?
A. He saved 2.4 million poor people.
B. He is to retire as a blood donor.
C. He is a very grateful blood donor.
D. He donates blood nearly every day.
5. What is the author’s purpose of writing Paragraph 4?
A. To state Harrison’s decision to continue donating blood.
B. To describe how Harrison’s donations come to an end.
C. To introduce some babies saved by Harrison’s blood.
D. To praise Harrison for his cooperation with the doctors.
6. What can we infer from the passage about Harrison?
A. After his retirement, the Rh program will fail.
B. New donors are easy to find in a short time.
C. He continues to contribute to the Rh program.
D. His DNA is kept in a library for future study.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. A Unique Man with a Rare Blood Type
B. The Blood Saving Millions of Babies
C. A Special Blood producer
D. The Man with the Golden Arm
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. D
【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了一位澳大利亚男子在他14岁时,因为他的病,急需要血液,别人帮他输血救了他的生命,他决定一旦年满18岁,就开始尽可能定期献血。他一直捐献自己极其罕见的血液来救别人,60多年里,献血将近1200次,救了240万婴儿的生命。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段“he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.”以及第二段“More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody(抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages ”可知,他决定一旦年满18岁,就开始尽可能定期献血。60多年内,他献血将近1200次。他的血液中含有一种抗体,这种抗体挽救了240万婴儿的生命。所以哈里森兑现了他14岁许下的诺言,60多年内,他献血将近1200次。挽救了240万婴儿的生命。故通过关键词“begin donating blood as regularly,60 years,1,200 donations,save”可以判断出,哈里森是个非常感恩的献血者。故C选项正确。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段“His doctors said it was time to stop the donations — and they certainly don’t take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save”可知,他的医生说,是时候停止捐赠了,他们当然不会轻易接受。他们已经延长了他献血的年龄限制,现在为了保护他的健康,他要停止献血。他做了最后一次捐赠,他的血液挽救了一些母亲和婴儿的生命。所以通过医生所说的话,可以判断出,第四段的目的是描述哈里森的献血是如何结束的。故B选项正确。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由最后段“But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.”可知,但是,哈里森从献血退休并不意味着他完全退出了,科学家们正在收集和编目他的DNA,以建立一个抗体和白血球库,这可能是澳大利亚抗-D计划的未来。所以尽管哈里森已经退休,但他并不是完全退出,因为围绕着他血液的研究会一直进行下去,所以哈里森会继续为Rh项目做出贡献。故C选项正确。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,短文叙述了一位澳大利亚男子在他14岁时,因为他的病,急需血液,别人帮他输血救了他的生命,他决定一旦年满18岁,就开始尽可能定期献血。他一直捐献自己极其罕见的血液来救别人,60多年里,献血将近1200次,救了超过二百万婴儿的故事。所以短文主要在叙述一位有极其珍贵的手臂的人,是这样的手臂输出的血液,救了这么多的人。故短文的最佳标题为“一位有极其珍贵的手臂的人”。故D选项正确。
【点睛】抓住特定信息进行逆向或者正向推理。做此类试题要善于抓住某一段话中的关键信息,即某些关键词或短语去分析、推理、判断,利用逆向思维或正面推理,从而推断出这句话所隐含的深层含义。
由第一段“he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.”以及第二段“More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody(抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages ”可知,他决定一旦年满18岁,就开始尽可能定期献血。60多年内,他献血将近1200次。他的血液中含有一种抗体,这种抗体挽救了240万婴儿的生命。所以哈里森兑现了他14岁许下的诺言,60多年内,他献血将近1200次。挽救了240万婴儿的生命。故通过关键词“begin donating blood as regularly,60 years,1,200 donations,save”可以判断出,哈里森是个非常感恩的献血者。故小题1的正确选项为C选项。
C
A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?
Avoiding temptation (诱惑) is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is called the “out of sight, out of mind” principle. One recent study, for instance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.
The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers don’t believe that one’s willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. High motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least to a point.
Willpower may also be made less vulnerable(脆弱)to being exhausted in the first place. Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.
The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Year’s Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, don’t try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, you’ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won’t require making decisions at all.
8. From the studies in the passage we learn that .
A. people have unlimited self-control
B. high motivation ensures one’s success
C. willpower is hardly completely exhausted
D. too many temptations often lead to failure
9. The underlined phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .
A. make use of B. run out of
C. build D. increase
10. The author compares self –control to muscles .
A. to prove the long-term effect of willpower
B. to show the significance of regular exercise
C. to argue that self-control can he easily used up
D. to explain the benefits of practicing self-control
11. To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?
A. “I will give up dessert and do exercise”
B. “I will set three goals this new semester.”
C. “I will read an English novel every month.”
D. “I will keep myself from any temptation.”
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇议论文。短文列举了关于意志力的几种研究和观点,作者认为有了明确的目标,良好的自我监督和练习,就可以在面对诱惑时使意志力保持坚强。
【8题详解】
细节推理题。根据第三段Researchers don’t believe that one’s willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands.可知,研究人员不相信人的意志力会完全耗尽,他们还有备用的和为将来需求节省的意志力。所以从文章中的研究我们了解到意志力几乎没有完全丧失。故C选项正确。
【9题详解】
猜测词义题。由第三段“The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down.”可知,正确的动机使我们能够利用这些储备,即使我们的自我控制能力已经被消耗殆尽,我们仍然可以继续前进。所以通过上下文的语境,判断出“tap into”指利用,与make use of同义。故A选项正确。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.可知,虽然肌肉在短期内会因运动而疲惫不堪,但长期而言,它们会通过经常锻炼而增强。同样规律的自我控制可以提高意志力。两者相比是为了说明同一个道理:长期的锻炼和自我控制的好处。所以作者把自我控制比作肌肉是为了解释自我控制的好处。故D选项正确。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, you’ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won’t require making decisions at all.可知,作者认为一个接一个的制定目标是一个更好的方法。一旦养成好习惯,你就不再需要依靠意志力来维持自己的行为。最终健康的习惯将成为惯例,而且不需要做任何决定。所以C项“I will read an English novel every month.”是先设立目标,然后成为好习惯,作者更喜欢这种目标。故C选项正确。
【点睛】根据事物的定义或者对事物总体的概括,从而判断出哪些具体事物或者具体的实践应该属于定义的范围或者是概括的范围是我们经常见到的推理判断题的题型。要解决这样的判断题,首先要讲对事物的定义或者对事物的总体概括要读清楚,然后根据对比4个选项,哪个选项在定义或者概括范围内的。哪个就是正确的答案。
由倒数第二段Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, you’ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won’t require making decisions at all.可知,作者认为一个接一个的制定目标是一个更好的方法。一旦养成好习惯,你就不再需要依靠意志力来维持自己的行为。最终健康的习惯将成为惯例,而且不需要做任何决定。C项“I will read an English novel every month.”是先设立目标,然后成为好习惯,作者更喜欢这种目标。故小题4的正确选项为C选项。
D
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend(hurt)many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong , but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. They should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
12. The underlined phrase “sour the pleasure of society” in Para.2 most nearly means_____.
A. have a good taste with social life B. make others unhappy
C. tend to scold others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life
13. We can conclude from the passage that________.
A. we should pity all such unhappy people
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. unhappy people can not understand happy persons
D. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
14. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit , the author suggests that people should ________.
A. prevent any communication with them
B. show no respect and politeness to them
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
15. In this passage, the writer mainly________.
A. describes two types of people B. laughs at the unhappy people
C. suggests ways to help unhappy people D. tells people how to be happy in life
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。短文对比了快乐的人和不快乐的人的相同之处和不同之处,作者还给了不快乐的人提出了一些建议,让他们如何保持快乐。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。由第二段“ By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend(hurt)many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere”可知,通过他们的言论,他们破坏了社会群体的乐趣,伤害了许多人,使他们在任何地方都不讨人喜欢。and并列连接了三个表示贬义的动词,所以A和D选项被排除。社会是由人构成的,破坏了社会的乐趣也就是让别人不开心。所以根据上下文的语境,可以判断出第2段中的带下划线的短语“ sour the pleasure of society”最接近于B选项“让别人不开心”。故B选项正确。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes”可知,但当那些有这种习惯的人意识到它对他们的兴趣和爱好有不良影响时,这种习惯可能会被改掉。所以通过关键词“ be cured”可以判断出,人们能够改掉这种不快乐的习惯。故D选项正确。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由最后段“ If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. ”可知,如果他们不这样做,那么其他人最好避免与他们接触。所以如果这些不快乐的人坚持保持这种坏习惯,作者建议人们应该不要和他们交流。故A选项正确。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,短文对比了快乐的人和不快乐的人的相同之处和不同之处,并着重向不快乐的人提出了一些保持快乐的建议,希望他们能够快乐。所以短文主要提出了一些帮助不快乐的人的方法。在故C选项正确。

Being Left-handed in a Right-handed World
The world is designed for right-handed people, but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left? ____16____.
The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery. Since scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families, it's assumed that left-handedness has a genetic(基因的) component to it. ___17___. In fact, identical twins, who share the same genes, can sometimes prefer to use different hands. There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with, but many experts believe that it's kind of random.
Historically, the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures. ____18____. In some areas, the left hand became known as the "unclean" hand. In many religions, the right hand of God is the favored hand. For example, Jesus sits at God's right side. God's left hand, however, is the hand of judgement. Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved. In some parts of Scotland, it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey. ____19____. A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary. In some Asian countries, eating with the left hand is considered impolite.
___20___. People come to realize that left-handedness is natural. People even noticed that many famous people are left-handed including Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Charlie Chaplin. Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thinking better. The left-handedness is more easily adaptable to the right-handed world as well. Being left-handed is no longer a sad story now; instead, it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in.
A. In other words, left-handers are born that way.
B Left-handedness used to be regarded as a disability.
C. The unfavorable associations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied.
D. Why do they prefer to use their left hand rather than their right hand for routine activities?
E. Why do some parents force their left-handed children to become right-handed when writing?
F. In Ghana, pointing, gesturing, giving or receiving items with the left hand is considered rude.
G. Fortunately, nowadays most societies and cultures no longer reject left-handedness like before.
【答案】16. D 17. A
18. C 19. F
20. G
【解析】
试题分析: 文章主要讲述了左撇子及其形成原因,并讲述了往昔人们对于左撇子的态度和现在的改变。
【16题详解】
D 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:这个世界是为右手的人设计的,但是为什么十分之一的人更倾向于左撇子。所以这里选D(为什么他们更喜欢使用左手而不是右手用于日常生活。)与上下文一致。
【17题详解】
A 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:据说左撇子的人有基因的成分在里面;空后的意思是:事实上有同样基因的双胞胎更倾向于使用不同的手。所以这里选A(换句话说,左撇子出生就是那样。)与上下文一致。
【18题详解】
C 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:在许多文化背景下,左撇子被认为是消极的,不好的;空后的意思是:在一些地区,左手被认为是不干净的手。所以这里选C(在各种文化中左手使用的不好的联想是不同的。)与上下文一致。
【19题详解】
F 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:在苏格兰,常认为在旅途开始的时候遇到一个左撇子是倒霉的。空后的意思是:一个指方向的人会把他的左手放在背后,甚至如果需要的话会用他们的右手指。所以这里选F(在加纳,用左手指点、做姿势、给予甚至接受被认为是粗鲁的。)与上下文一致。
【20题详解】
G 考查对上下文语境的理解。空后的意思是:人们意识到了左撇子很自然。所以这里选G(幸运的是,现在许多社会和文化不再像以前一样反对左撇子了。)与上下文一致。
考点:考查对文章内容和结构的整体理解和上下文逻辑关系的把握。

Life is full of various experiences, some of them are unforgettable. I still remember the hiking experiences with my classmates for 16 km a year ago. That summer day, we set off early in the morning, think it would be a great fun to walk for so long a distance. However, as the weather is getting hotter and hotter, I found their legs heavier and heavier. What’s worse, my feet began bleeding because long time pressing against the shoes. At one point, I even wanted to give up. But I managed to dragging the rest of the way to the destination. Though not pleasant, this journey was impressive or rewarding, I have learnt that life is a long journey like this. No matter what happened, we should never give up.
【答案】1. them改成which
2. experiences改成experience
3 think改成thinking
4. 去掉great前面的a
5. is改成was
6. their改成my
7. because后加of
8.dragging改成drag
9. or 改成and
10. happened改成happens
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。作者叙述了一年前和同学们徒步旅行16公里的经历。刚开始时,觉得很有趣,但是天气炎热以及作者的脚开始流血使作者一度想放弃,最后作者还是坚持走完了全程,作者觉得无论发生什么事,都不应该放弃。
【详解】第一处:考查关系代词。句意:生活充满了各种各样的经历,有些是难忘的。分析句子可知, experiences为先行词,在后面的非限制性定语从句中作of的宾语。故 them改成which 。
第二处:考查名词。句意:我仍然记得一年前和同学们徒步旅行16公里的经历。本句特指的是徒步经历,所以应用experience的单数形式,而不是复数形式。故experiences改成experience。
第三处:考查现在分词。句意:那年夏天,我们一大早就出发了,觉得走这么远的路会很有趣。分析句子可知,we与think在逻辑上是主动关系,所以用现在分词作伴随状语。故 think改成thinking。
第四处:考查不可数名词。句意:那年夏天,我们一大早就出发了,觉得走这么远的路会很有趣。fun为不可数名词。其前不能用不定冠词。故去掉great前面的a。
第五处:考查一般过去时。句意:。然而,随着天气越来越热,我发现我们的腿越来越重。由“a year ago”可知,本句为一般过去时。所以be动词为was。故is改成was。
第六处:考查代词。句意:然而,随着天气越来越热,我发现我的腿越来越重。分析句意可知,作者发现自己的腿越来越重。所以应用形容词性物主代词my修饰legs。故 their改成my。
第七处:考查介词。句意:更糟的是,我的脚因为长时间被鞋子挤压而开始流血。because of后接名词/代词/动名词,而because引导句子。故 because后加of。
第八处:考查动词不定式。句意:虽然我的步伐缓慢而吃力,但却成功地到达了终点。manage to do sth“设法做某事(强调成功)”。故dragging改成drag。
第九处:考查连词。句意:虽然这次旅行不令人愉快,但这段旅行给我留下了深刻的印象,也让我收获颇丰。分析句子可知,前后两个形容词为并列关系。故or 改成and 。
第十处:考查一般现在时。句意:无论发生什么事,我们都不应该放弃。 分析句子可知,本句为 No matter what 引导的让步状语从句,时态为一般现在时,主语为 No matter what ,所以谓语为第三人称单数形式。故happened改成happens。

At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.
More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody(抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.
“Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. He’s made 1,162 donations from his right arm and 10 from his left.
“I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations — and they certainly don’t take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save.
Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.

这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了一位澳大利亚男子在他14岁时,因为他的病,急需要血液,别人帮他输血救了他的生命,他决定一旦年满18岁,就开始尽可能定期献血。他一直捐献自己极其罕见的血液来救别人,60多年里,献血将近1200次,救了240万婴儿的生命。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段“he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.”以及第二段“More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody(抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages ”可知,他决定一旦年满18岁,就开始尽可能定期献血。60多年内,他献血将近1200次。他的血液中含有一种抗体,这种抗体挽救了240万婴儿的生命。所以哈里森兑现了他14岁许下的诺言,60多年内,他献血将近1200次。挽救了240万婴儿的生命。故通过关键词“begin donating blood as regularly,60 years,1,200 donations,save”可以判断出,哈里森是个非常感恩的献血者。故C选项正确。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段“His doctors said it was time to stop the donations — and they certainly don’t take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save”可知,他的医生说,是时候停止捐赠了,他们当然不会轻易接受。他们已经延长了他献血的年龄限制,现在为了保护他的健康,他要停止献血。他做了最后一次捐赠,他的血液挽救了一些母亲和婴儿的生命。所以通过医生所说的话,可以判断出,第四段的目的是描述哈里森的献血是如何结束的。故B选项正确。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由最后段“But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.”可知,但是,哈里森从献血退休并不意味着他完全退出了,科学家们正在收集和编目他的DNA,以建立一个抗体和白血球库,这可能是澳大利亚抗-D计划的未来。所以尽管哈里森已经退休,但他并不是完全退出,因为围绕着他血液的研究会一直进行下去,所以哈里森会继续为Rh项目做出贡献。故C选项正确。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,短文叙述了一位澳大利亚男子在他14岁时,因为他的病,急需血液,别人帮他输血救了他的生命,他决定一旦年满18岁,就开始尽可能定期献血。他一直捐献自己极其罕见的血液来救别人,60多年里,献血将近1200次,救了超过二百万婴儿的故事。所以短文主要在叙述一位有极其珍贵的手臂的人,是这样的手臂输出的血液,救了这么多的人。故短文的最佳标题为“一位有极其珍贵的手臂的人”。故D选项正确。
【点睛】抓住特定信息进行逆向或者正向推理。做此类试题要善于抓住某一段话中的关键信息,即某些关键词或短语去分析、推理、判断,利用逆向思维或正面推理,从而推断出这句话所隐含的深层含义。

C
A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?
Avoiding temptation (诱惑) is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is called the “out of sight, out of mind” principle. One recent study, for instance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.
The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers don’t believe that one’s willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. High motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least to a point.
Willpower may also be made less vulnerable(脆弱)to being exhausted in the first place. Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.
The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Year’s Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, don’t try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, you’ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won’t require making decisions at all.
8. From the studies in the passage we learn that .
A. people have unlimited self-control
B. high motivation ensures one’s success
C. willpower is hardly completely exhausted
D. too many temptations often lead to failure
9. The underlined phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .
A. make use of B. run out of
C. build D. increase
10. The author compares self –control to muscles .
A. to prove the long-term effect of willpower
B. to show the significance of regular exercise
C. to argue that self-control can he easily used up
D. to explain the benefits of practicing self-control
11. To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?
A. “I will give up dessert and do exercise”
B. “I will set three goals this new semester.”
C. “I will read an English novel every month.”
D. “I will keep myself from any temptation.”
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】

这是一篇议论文。短文列举了关于意志力的几种研究和观点,作者认为有了明确的目标,良好的自我监督和练习,就可以在面对诱惑时使意志力保持坚强。
【8题详解】
细节推理题。根据第三段Researchers don’t believe that one’s willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands.可知,研究人员不相信人的意志力会完全耗尽,他们还有备用的和为将来需求节省的意志力。所以从文章中的研究我们了解到意志力几乎没有完全丧失。故C选项正确。
【9题详解】
猜测词义题。由第三段“The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down.”可知,正确的动机使我们能够利用这些储备,即使我们的自我控制能力已经被消耗殆尽,我们仍然可以继续前进。所以通过上下文的语境,判断出“tap into”指利用,与make use of同义。故A选项正确。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.可知,虽然肌肉在短期内会因运动而疲惫不堪,但长期而言,它们会通过经常锻炼而增强。同样规律的自我控制可以提高意志力。两者相比是为了说明同一个道理:长期的锻炼和自我控制的好处。所以作者把自我控制比作肌肉是为了解释自我控制的好处。故D选项正确。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, you’ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won’t require making decisions at all.可知,作者认为一个接一个的制定目标是一个更好的方法。一旦养成好习惯,你就不再需要依靠意志力来维持自己的行为。最终健康的习惯将成为惯例,而且不需要做任何决定。所以C项“I will read an English novel every month.”是先设立目标,然后成为好习惯,作者更喜欢这种目标。故C选项正确。
【点睛】根据事物的定义或者对事物总体的概括,从而判断出哪些具体事物或者具体的实践应该属于定义的范围或者是概括的范围是我们经常见到的推理判断题的题型。要解决这样的判断题,首先要讲对事物的定义或者对事物的总体概括要读清楚,然后根据对比4个选项,哪个选项在定义或者概括范围内的。哪个就是正确的答案。
由倒数第二段Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, you’ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior.

D
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend(hurt)many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong , but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. They should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
12. The underlined phrase “sour the pleasure of society” in Para.2 most nearly means_____.
A. have a good taste with social life B. make others unhappy
C. tend to scold others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life
13. We can conclude from the passage that________.
A. we should pity all such unhappy people
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. unhappy people can not understand happy persons
D. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
14. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit , the author suggests that people should ________.
A. prevent any communication with them
B. show no respect and politeness to them
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
15. In this passage, the writer mainly________.
A. describes two types of people B. laughs at the unhappy people
C. suggests ways to help unhappy people D. tells people how to be happy in life
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。短文对比了快乐的人和不快乐的人的相同之处和不同之处,作者还给了不快乐的人提出了一些建议,让他们如何保持快乐。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。由第二段“ By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend(hurt)many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere”可知,通过他们的言论,他们破坏了社会群体的乐趣,伤害了许多人,使他们在任何地方都不讨人喜欢。and并列连接了三个表示贬义的动词,所以A和D选项被排除。社会是由人构成的,破坏了社会的乐趣也就是让别人不开心。所以根据上下文的语境,可以判断出第2段中的带下划线的短语“ sour the pleasure of society”最接近于B选项“让别人不开心”。故B选项正确。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes”可知,但当那些有这种习惯的人意识到它对他们的兴趣和爱好有不良影响时,这种习惯可能会被改掉。所以通过关键词“ be cured”可以判断出,人们能够改掉这种不快乐的习惯。故D选项正确。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由最后段“ If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. ”可知,如果他们不这样做,那么其他人最好避免与他们接触。所以如果这些不快乐的人坚持保持这种坏习惯,作者建议人们应该不要和他们交流。故A选项正确。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,短文对比了快乐的人和不快乐的人的相同之处和不同之处,并着重向不快乐的人提出了一些保持快乐的建议,希望他们能够快乐。所以短文主要提出了一些帮助不快乐的人的方法。在故C选项正确。

Being Left-handed in a Right-handed World
The world is designed for right-handed people, but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left? ____16____.
The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery. Since scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families, it's assumed that left-handedness has a genetic(基因的) component to it. ___17___. In fact, identical twins, who share the same genes, can sometimes prefer to use different hands. There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with, but many experts believe that it's kind of random.
Historically, the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures. ____18____. In some areas, the left hand became known as the "unclean" hand. In many religions, the right hand of God is the favored hand. For example, Jesus sits at God's right side. God's left hand, however, is the hand of judgement. Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved. In some parts of Scotland, it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey. ____19____. A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary. In some Asian countries, eating with the left hand is considered impolite.
___20___. People come to realize that left-handedness is natural. People even noticed that many famous people are left-handed including Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Charlie Chaplin. Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thinking better. The left-handedness is more easily adaptable to the right-handed world as well. Being left-handed is no longer a sad story now; instead, it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in.
A. In other words, left-handers are born that way.
B Left-handedness used to be regarded as a disability.
C. The unfavorable associations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied.
D. Why do they prefer to use their left hand rather than their right hand for routine activities?
E. Why do some parents force their left-handed children to become right-handed when writing?
F. In Ghana, pointing, gesturing, giving or receiving items with the left hand is considered rude.
G. Fortunately, nowadays most societies and cultures no longer reject left-handedness like before.

However, as the weather is getting hotter and hotter, I found their legs heavier and heavier. What’s worse, my feet began bleeding because long time pressing against the shoes. At one point, I even wanted to give up. But I managed to dragging the rest of the way to the destination.

3 think改成thinking
4. 去掉great前面的a
5. is改成was
6. their改成my
7. because后加of
8.dragging改成drag
9. or 改成and
10. happened改成happens
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。作者叙述了一年前和同学们徒步旅行16公里的经历。刚开始时,觉得很有趣,但是天气炎热以及作者的脚开始流血使作者一度想放弃,最后作者还是坚持走完了全程,作者觉得无论发生什么事,都不应该放弃。
【详解】第一处:考查关系代词。句意:生活充满了各种各样的经历,有些是难忘的。分析句子可知, experiences为先行词,在后面的非限制性定语从句中作of的宾语。故 them改成which 。
第二处:考查名词。句意:我仍然记得一年前和同学们徒步旅行16公里的经历。本句特指的是徒步经历,所以应用experience的单数形式,而不是复数形式。故experiences改成experience。
第三处:考查现在分词。句意:那年夏天,我们一大早就出发了,觉得走这么远的路会很有趣。分析句子可知,we与think在逻辑上是主动关系,所以用现在分词作伴随状语。故 think改成thinking。
第四处:考查不可数名词。句意:那年夏天,我们一大早就出发了,觉得走这么远的路会很有趣。fun为不可数名词。其前不能用不定冠词。故去掉great前面的a。
第五处:考查一般过去时。句意:。然而,随着天气越来越热,我发现我们的腿越来越重。由“a year ago”可知,本句为一般过去时。所以be动词为was。故is改成was。
第六处:考查代词。句意:然而,随着天气越来越热,我发现我的腿越来越重。分析句意可知,作者发现自己的腿越来越重。所以应用形容词性物主代词my修饰legs。故 their改成my。
第七处:考查介词。句意:更糟的是,我的脚因为长时间被鞋子挤压而开始流血。because of后接名词/代词/动名词,而because引导句子。故 because后加of。
第八处:考查动词不定式。句意:虽然我的步伐缓慢而吃力,但却成功地到达了终点。manage to do sth“设法做某事(强调成功)”。故dragging改成drag。
第九处:考查连词。句意:虽然这次旅行不令人愉快,但这段旅行给我留下了深刻的印象,也让我收获颇丰。分析句子可知,前后两个形容词为并列关系。故or 改成and 。
第十处:考查一般现在时。句意:无论发生什么事,我们都不应该放弃。 分析句子可知,本句为 No matter what 引导的让步状语从句,时态为一般现在时,主语为 No matter what ,所以谓语为第三人称单数形式。故happened改成happens。

【答案】Dear Sir/Madam,
I am one of your customers. I ordered two pairs of sports shoes on your website one month ago, but I didn’t receive them until today. Much to my disappointment, the shoes were so poorly packed up that the cover of them was torn. To make matters worse, they are of the wrong size.
I am sorry to have received such poor service, and I believe I have the very right to ask you to deal with this problem. I hope that you either return my money or deliver new ones to me. What is more, I’d like to be informed of the process of your dealing with my complaint.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
