World leaders from nearly 200 countries have signed an important historic agreement to fight global climate change.The agreement came after two weeks of talks between the leaders at the 21st Conference in Paris, France.As part of the Paris agreement，countries said they would cut down on pollution However，according to the terms of the deal，countries that don’t do this will not be punished，or fined.Instead，the document is meant to show that governments around the world take climate change seriously and are willing to work together to fight global warming.World leaders have met many times to discuss climate change.But，the 21st Conference of Parties, or COP21, which began on November 30 in Paris，was the first time they agreed on a global, legal pact(协定).Before the conference, each nation was asked to create plans on how to reach the shared goal.The pact that was signed allows countries to decide the best way to cut down their gas pollution.No matter how they decide to go green, each country must report honestly on all of their efforts.Every five years, nations must look at the work they’ve done and submit new plans on how they will improve over the next five years.In the pact, the countries pledge to limit the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by human activity to the levels that trees，soil and oceans can absorb naturally.It urges countries to spend trillions of dollars on creating new energy sources, like solar and wind power.It also requires countries to raise at least $ 100 billion each year to help developing countries.However, critics of the pact say it is not detailed enough, and doesn’t include specifics about how the plan will be enforced and how improvements will be measured.The pact does include one large, specific goal: how countries will aim to keep global temperatures from rising more than 3.60℉(20℃)by 2100.Nonetheless，the agreement is considered by many world leaders to be a major victory.The U.N.has been working more than two decades to convince governments to work together to reduce man-made emissions.“History will remember this day,” U.N.Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said.“The Paris agreement on climate change is a monumental success for the planet and its people.” 1． When was the legal pact probably passed?

A.On November 30.B.On December 4.C.On December 8.D.On December 12.2． According to the agreement, countries________.A.have to give a yearly report about their work B.will be published if they fail to reduce pollution C.are required to ensure investment in fighting pollution D.should try to reach the agreed standard in five years 3． What is each country required to do before the Paris conference?

A.Provide a work plan.B.Give an oral explanation.C.Provide a large amount of money.D.Give a written assessment.4． The pact is thought to be imperfect because_______.A.it doesn’t consider developing countries B.it is not detailed enough

C.it is not attractive to all countries

D.it only benefits some countries

B

If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example.Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer.You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to(料理), and then walk off without paying your fare.The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners.Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals.The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card(住宿登记卡)to the waiter.With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour.They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate(价钱).From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly(相应地).With so many loopholes(漏洞)in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”.But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business;not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms.And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in.As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others? 1.While taking a taxi in Finland，.A.a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driver B.a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi ride

C.a passenger can never be refused by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go

D.a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration(证明)before leaving without paying 2.We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland

.A.are mostly poorly managed

B.provide meals for any diners

C.provide free wine and charge for food

D.provide meal for only those who live in the hotels

3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A.The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.B.The workers are always honest with their working hours.C.The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.D.The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.4.The word “those” in the last but one paragraph probably refers to

.A.people who are dishonest

B.people who often have meals in big hotels C.people who often take taxis

C A university graduate described as a “respectable and intelligent” woman is seeking professional help after being convicted of（证明有……罪）shoplifting for the second time in six months.Ana Luz, recently studying for her PhD, has been told she could end up behind bars unless she can control the desire to steal from shops.Luz, who lives with her partner in Fitzwilliam Road, Cambridge, admitted stealing clothes worth ￡9.95 from John Lewis in Oxford Street, London, on March 9.Phillip Lemoyne, prosecuting(起诉), said Luz selected some clothes from a display and took them to the ladies’ toilet in the store.When she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had selected, having taken off the anti-theft security alarms.She was stopped and caught after leaving the store without paying, Mr.Lemoyne said.He added that she was upset on her arrest and apologized for her actions.Luz, 28, was said to have been convicted of shoplifting by Cambridge judges last October, but Morag Duff, defending, said she had never been in trouble with the police before that.“She is ashamed and embarrassed but doesn’t really have any explanation why she did this,” Miss Duff said.“She didn’t intend to steal when she went into the store.She is at a loss to explain it.She is otherwise a very respectable and intelligent young lady.She went to her doctor and asked for advice because she wants to know if there is anything in particular that caused her to do this.” Judge David Azan fined Luz ￡50, and warned: “You’ve got a criminal record.If you carry on like this, you will end up in prison, which will ruin your bright future you may have.” Luz achieved a degree in design at university in her native Spain, went on to a famous university in Berlin, Germany for her master’s degree and is now studying for a PhD at Cambridge University, UK.1．What does the underlined sentence “She is at a loss to explain it” mean?

A．In her opinion it was a loss to the clothes shops where she stole things.B．She doesn’t have any idea why she has the desire to steal from shops.C．She thinks it is a loss for her to explain why she stole things from shops.D．Personally she feels ashamed and embarrassed for her shoplifting actions.2．Which of the following best explains the meaning of the word “shoplifting” used in the passage?

A．Carrying goods in a lift for a shop.B．Taking goods to the ladies’ toilet.C．Selecting some goods from a display.D．Taking goods from a shop without paying.3．From the passage we can learn that ________.A．Ana Luz is already got her PhD at Cambridge University, UK B．Ana Luz is ashamed and embarrassed and knows why she often did so C．the university graduate will be put in prison if she steals in shops once more D．Phillip Lemoyne is the “respectable and intelligent” woman’s defense lawyer 4．What would be the best title for the passage?

How I Turned to Be Optimistic

I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house，and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America.We were on the bus then.I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me.I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio programs for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again.In fact，I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives.When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once.For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves.I did not quite know what I was or what I should be.Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me.Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other.I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times”．

My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home.I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule：almost all common troubles eventually go away!Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up，and just wait a little！I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.1．How did the author get to know America before she went there?

A．From her relatives.B．From her mother.C．From books and pictures.D．From radio programs.2．Upon leaving for America the author felt ____.A．confused

B．excited

C．frightened

D．amazed

3．For the first two years in New York，the author ____.A．often lost her way

B．did not think about her future

C．studied in three different schools

D．got on well with her stepfather

4．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?

A．She worked as a translator.B．She attended a lot of job interviews.C．She paid telephone bills for her family.D．She helped her family with her English.2017年高考英语冲刺训练 阅读理解专练2·答案与解析

2014高考英语冲刺阅读理解专项 50-23

A

Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family.Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes.I have only one hand.”

Mom never looked up from sewing.“You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me.“And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”

In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next.When it was my turn, I shook my head.Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Mom about it.She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look.The next afternoon, she took me back to school.At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised.She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow.Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached.I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing.I could hear Mom come into my room.“Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”

For a long time, I didn’t hear anything.Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking.I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks.Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf.She had never let me see her tears.1.Which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe Mom’s attitude when she made the child to peel potatoes?

A.Cruel.B.Serious.C.Strict.D.Cold.答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节推理题。由第二段妈妈说的话 “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”可知，妈妈的话语非常坚定，对孩子要求非常严格，故答案为C。

2.From the passage, we know monkey bars can help a child train ______.A.the skill to throw and catch things

B.the speed of one’s hand movement

C.the strength and skill to hang and sway

D.the bodily skill to rotate round a bar

答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节推理题。由第三段 “…had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next.”可知，monkey bars 要求从一根高铁杠摇荡到另外一根，即训练儿童悬挂和摇荡的力气和技巧，故C

选项正确。

3.What does the sentence “I saw her ‘we’ll see about that’ look” imply?

A.Mom believed every aim could be achieved if you stuck to it.B.The race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up.C.Mom was determined to prove she herself was better than the teacher.D.What the child had said brought Mom great attraction and curiosity.答案解析：答案为A。本题为语义理解题。“I saw her ‘we’ll see about that’ look” 出现在第四段，由本句话的下文 “The next afternoon, she took me back to school.At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.”和第五段 “Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached.”可知，妈妈听说我因为不会monkey bars而遭到其他小朋友的嘲笑，就日复一日带我去练习，对我每一次的成功都给予表扬，可推断，妈妈那脸上的表情表明在她的内心世界里，她认为不论什么只要坚持就可以取得，故答案为A。B选项只是这句话的表层意思，C、D则离题太远。

4.When the child looked down at the kids, they were standing with their mouths open because ______.A.they felt sorry for what they had done before

B.they were afraid the author might fall off and get hurt

C.they wanted to see what the author would do on the bars

D.they were astonished to find the author’s progress

答案解析：答案D。本题为细节推理题。由第三段 “Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.” 我不会monkey bars 遭到其他小朋友的嘲笑到第五段 “I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.” 我会了monkey bars后，其他小朋友自然会对我的进步和成功而感到惊讶，故答案为D。

5.The most probable conclusion we can draw after reading the passage is ______.A.the last incident was sad enough to make Mom weep

B.the child’s experience reminded Mom of that of her own

C.Mom could solve any problem except the one in the last paragraph

D.in fact Mom suffered more in the process of the child’s growth

答案解析：答案为D。本题为推理题。由最后一段最后一句话 “Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf.She had never let me see her tears.” 可知，我最后意识到妈妈在我的成长过程中比我承受的痛苦要多得多，但是她从不让我知道，故答案为D。

B

(part of Yanglan’s speech in Beijing’s bid for the 2008 Olympic games)

Mr.President, Ladies and Gentlemen.Good afternoon!

Before I introduce our cultural programs, I want to tell you onething first about 2008.You're going to have a great time in Beijing.Many people are fascinated by China’s sport legends(传奇)in history.For example, back to Song Dynasty, about the 11th century, people started to play a game called Cuju, which is regarded as the origin of ancient football.The game was very popular and women were also participating.Now, you will understand why our women football team is so good today.…….With a concept inspired by the famed Silk Road, our Torch Relay will break new ground, traveling from Olympia through some of the oldest civilizations known to man-Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Byzantine, Mesopotamian, Persian, Arabian, Indian and Chinese.Carrying the message “Share the Peace, Share the Olympics,” the eternal flame will reach new heights as it crosses the Himalayas over the world's In China, the flame will pass through Tibet, cross the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, travel the Great Wall and visit Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and the 56 ethnic communities who make up our society.On its journey, the flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay.I am afraid I can not present the whole picture of our cultural programs within such a short period of time.Before I end, let me share with you one story.Seven hundred years ago, amazed by his incredible edtions of a far away land of great beauty, people asked Marco Polo whether his stories about China were true.He answered: What I have told you was not even half of what I saw.Actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of Beijing that awaits you.Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that Beijing will prove to be a land of wonders to athletes, spectators(观众)and the worldwide television audience alike.Come and join us.Thank you, Mr.President.Thank you all.1.In Yanglan’s speech, she mentioned a game called Cuju, she implied that _____.A.China is the original country of football.B.China is a country with a long history in sports.C.People in China used to play football well.D.Women in China are good at football.答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节推理题。杨澜提到的蹴鞠运动出现在第三段，它是作为例子来证明该段的主题句 “Many people are fascinated by China’s sport legends in history.” 中国的体育历史悠久，故答案为B。

2.Mt.Everest refers to _____.A.a person who is known to many people in the world

B.Himalayas

C.Mount Qomolangma

D.the Olympic Torch

答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节题。由第四段 “… as it crosses the Himalayas over the world's highest summitMount Qomolangma.D.Marco Polo’s stories will await athletes, spectators and the worldwide television audience.答案解析：答案为D。本题为细节题，注意题干的 “not ”。由倒数第二段 “Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that Beijing will prove to be a land of wonders to athletes, spectators and the worldwide television audience alike.” 可知，北京对于运动员，观众和世界上所有电视台的观众将会充满了奇迹，故可推断A选项符合文意。由

第四段最后一句话 “On its journey, the flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay.” 可知，B选项符合文意。由第四段“the eternal flame will reach new heights as it crosses the Himalayas over the world's highest summit-Mount Qomolangma, which is known to many of you as Mt.Everest.” 可知，C选项符合文意。

由第五段 “He answered: What I have told you was not even half of what I saw.Actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of Beijing that awaits you.”可知，马可波罗的回答是告诉人们，他所写的故事只是他看到的很少的一部分，实际上，中国还有很多等待世界的人们去了解，故D选项“马可波罗的故事将会等待运动员，观众和世界上所有电视台的观众”错误。故答案为D。

4.Marco Polo ‘s answer meant that ______

A.what he wrote was half better than what he saw.B.he was interested in half of what he had seen.C.he was not able to describe the beauty of the faraway land.D.there were so many true stories that he could only tell part of them.答案解析：答案为D。本题为细节推理题。结合上题对D选项的分析可知，马可波罗的话是在强调中国的故事太多了，他只描述了很少的一部分，故答案为D。干扰项最强的C选项 “他不能描述远方大陆的美”不是马可波罗所说的侧重点，故错误。

Visiting U.S.President George W.Bush said in Beijing Friday that both China and the United States should encourage bilateral(双边的)contacts and exchanges to promote mutual(相互)understanding.“It’s important for our political leaders to come to China,” said Bush, who gave a speech Friday morning at Qinghua University, one of the most prestigious universities in China.His working visit to China and discussions with Oinghua students “help promote” Sino-U.S.(中美)relations, Bush said in response to a student’s question about what he would do to promote Sino-U.S.relations.“Many people in my country are very interested in China,” he said, adding that these Americans have learned more about China’s culture and the Chinese people.He said that he would keep encouraging such contacts and exchanges between the two countries.Bush said that he would describe back home what he has seen here and that China as a great nation not only has a “great history” but also an “unbelievably exciting future.”

B

A senior United Nations Children’s Fund(UNICEF)official on May 29 praised China for its remarkable achievements in children’s welfare.A.H.M.Farook, UNICEF’s operations area officer for China and Mongolia said that China “can be very satisfied to tell the whole world what can be done with limited resources to help its children to grow healthily and happily.”

China’s child population makes up one-fifth of the world’s total.“The reason behind the tremendous(巨大的)achievement is China’s long tradition of caring for children both at home and in society,” he said.“What’s more is that Chinese people have always given special attention to children who are in special need.” The UN official made the remarks when addressing a group of 50 children and staff from the Beijing Children’s Welfare Home at the Shangri-la Hotel, Beijing.The hotel invited the orphans to share snacks, sing, dance and play games at a park inside the hotel for a “Share the Sunshine” party, as a prelude(前奏)to celebrations to mark the Children’s Day.The Beijing children’s Welfare Home, set up soon after New China was founded in 1949, has at present more than 400 children.A leading official of the welfare institution said that the children live a happy life and that the agency spends 400—500 yuan a month for an average orphan.An average Chinese workers earned 440 yuan a month during the first quarter this year.Gu Xiaojin, deputy secretary-general of the China Youth Development Foundation(CYDF), said people from all walks of life have contributed to the welfare of the Chinese children.She said that CYDF set up the Project Hope in 1989, which calls on people across the country to donate money to help poor children to continue their schooling.By the end of last year, she said, CYDF had collected nearly 700 million yuan in donations, which has helped the establishment of 2, 074 Hope primary schools and enabled more than 1.25 million dropouts to

return to school classrooms.Three “Hope Stars” also attended the party.They were model teenagers chosen among students who are economically supported by the Project Hope to further their nine-year compulsory(义务)studies in the poverty-stricken regions.They will be torchbearers(火炬接力者)for the Chinese Team for the up coming Atlanta Olympic Games this year.1.Children can grow healthily and happily as long as _______.A.parents take good care of them both at home and in society

B.the whole society care for children as well as their parents

C.Schools and teachers pay much attention to the growth of children

D.Chinese people always give special attention to children who are in special need

答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。由第三段 “The reason behind the tremendous achievement is China’s long tradition of caring for children both at home and in society,” 可知，儿童能够健康快乐地成长的条件是社会和家庭共同的关心，故B选项符合文意。A选项只强调了父母的作用，C选项只强调了学校和教师的作用，都太片面，均不选；D选项的 “always”一词显得太过绝对化，故不选。

2.Every year the Beijing Children’s Welfare Home spends _______ on the orphans

A.1, 920, 000 yuanB.2, 160, 000 yuan

C.Over 2, 400, 000 yuanD.2, 200, 000 yuan or so

答案解析：答案为D。本题为推理计算题。题干要求推算出Beijing Children’s Welfare Home在孤儿身上一年的花费，由第六段 “The Beijing children’s Welfare Home, „has at present more than 400 children.” 和第七段 “„ the agency spends 400—500 yuan a month for an average orphan.” 可以推算，一年的费用在1, 920, 000元到2, 400, 000元之间，然而费用不会恰好是2, 160, 000元，只有D选项的答案最为准确。

3.CYDF collected 700 million yuan with the purpose of _______.A.reducing dropouts

B.helping homeless orphans

C.supporting the Chinese Team for the coming Atlanta Olympic Games

D.establishing 2, 074 Hope primary schools all over the country 答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节推理题。由倒数第二段 “By the end of last year, she said, CYDF had collected nearly 700 million yuan in donations, which has helped the establishment of 2, 074 Hope primary schools and enabled more than 1.25 million dropouts to return to school classrooms.”可知，CYDF筹集的资金用于帮助建立希望工程小学，让失学儿童返校，A选项和D选项都是文章所提到的，然而A选项“减少失学儿童”是这笔资金的最终目的，D选项是达到此目的的方式，故答案为A。

4.We can infer from the text that _______.A.Every Chinese child has its own special need, so we should pay special attention to each.B.All the children in the poverty-stricken regions of China are too poor to go to school.C.Ever since liberation.the Chinese Communist Party has been concerned about the growth of the younger generation.D.With the help of UNICEF officials, there are no more dropouts in China.答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。由第六段 “The Beijing children’s Welfare Home, set up soon after New China was founded in 1949, has at present more than 400 children.” 可知，自从新中国建立以来，The Beijing children’s Welfare Home 里收养了400多名孤儿，可以推断C选项 “自从解放以来，中国共产党一直关心儿童的成长”与文意符合。故答案为C。

由第四段 “What’s more is that Chinese people have always given special attention to children who are in special need.” 可知，需要给予有特别需求的儿童特别关注，A选项意为“给每个儿童特别关注” 曲解了文章的意思，故错误，B、D选项表述错误，均不选。

5.It is possible that this passage was written in _______.A.1992B.1996C.1998D.2000

答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。由最后一段最后一句话 “They will be torchbearers for the Chinese Team for the up coming Atlanta Olympic Games this year.”可知，此文章写于亚特兰大奥运会举办的那一年，而这年是在1996年。故答案为B。

2012年高考英语阅读理解训练：说理议论类

(一)(2011·湖北高考)

Feeling blue about the world? “Cheer up.” says science writer Matt Ridley.“The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature.”

Ridley calls himself a rational optimist—rational, because he's carefully weighed the evidence;optimistic, because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good.And this is what he's set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book, The Rational Optimist.He views mankind as a grand enterprise that, on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years.He backs his findings with hard facts gathered through years of research.Here's how he explains his views.)Shopping fuels invention

It is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone.Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, better cars, and, of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us.This will continue as long as we use these things to make other things.The more we specialize and exchange, the better off we'll be.2)Brilliant advances

One reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer??lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs—food, clothing, fuel and shelter—have grown a lot cheaper.Take one example.In 1800 a candle providing one hour's light cost six hours' work.In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes' work to pay for.In 1950 it was eight seconds.Today it's half second.)Let's not kill ourselves for climate change

Mitigating(减轻)climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself.A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village, where the use of fossil??fuel(化石燃料)electricity is forbidden by well??meaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate

答案与解析

1．D 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Ridley calls himself a rational optimist—rational, because he's carefully weighed the evidence;optimistic, because that evidence shows human progress...” Ridley 自称是一个理性的乐观主义者，所谓理性是因为他仔细权衡证据；所谓乐观是因为这些证据表明人类进步是不可避免的，而且也是十分美好的。这就是他在近期的一本书当中以全新的视角向人们证明的主题。故此处D项正确。

2．A 推理判断题。根据第一个小标题题目“Shopping fuels invention”以及其内容最后一句“The more we specialize and exchange, the better off we'll be.”可知，购物刺激发明创造，刺激消费，促进生产，这种情况越多，我们将会越富有。故此处A项正确。

3．D 细节理解题。从第二个标题内容可知，我们生活远比以前富裕，健康，长寿，人也长得高了，也比以前聪明了，其中一个原因是我们人类的四种基本需求——衣，食，住，行比以前便宜了很多。因此以油灯和蜡烛为例进一步阐述，故此处D项正确。

4.B 推理判断题。由文章最后一句可知，如果气候变化证明是轻微的，然而降低二氧化碳会引起麻烦，那么很可能会发现我们用止血带缠绕脖子以此止住鼻血。此处暗指对气候变化的过度反应存在危险。故B项正确。

In business, there's a speed difference: It's the difference between how important a firm's leaders say speed is to their competitive(竞争的)strategy(策略)and how fast the company actually moves.The difference is important regardless of industry and company size.Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain_an_edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track.What's more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up” improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three??year period.How did they disobey the_laws_of_business_physics,_taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean.Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed(moving quickly)and strategic speed(reducing the time it takes to deliver value)．Simply increasing

love story the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference.But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower??quality products and services.In our study, higher??performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary.They became more open to ideas and discussion.They encouraged new ways of thinking.And they allowed time to look back and learn.By contrast(相比而言), performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn't develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership.Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals.That kind of strategy must come from the top.1．What does the underlined part “gain an edge” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Increase the speed.B．Get an advantage.C．Reach the limit.D．Set a goal.2．The underlined part “the laws of business physics” in Paragraph 3 means ________.A．spending more time and performing worse

B．spending more time and performing better

D．spending less time and performing better

3．What can we learn from the text?

A．How fast a firm moves depends on how big it is.B．How competitive a firm is depends on what it produces.4 / 8

Skeptics are a strange lot.Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them.Those people, say skeptics, spread nothing but bad news about the environment.The “eco??guilt” brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity.That book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, declares that it

love story measures the “real state of the world” as fine.Of course, another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests.Indeed, Mr.Lomborg's views are similar to those of some industry??funded organizations, which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.So it was strange to see Mr.Lomborg's book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions.One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”

Such one??sided views should have immediately been challenged.But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership.The review remarked that Mr.Lomborg's “preference for unexamined materials is incredible(不可信的)”．

A critical(批判的)eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions.Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests.People might become half??blind before a world partially exhibited by the media.That's a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.1．According to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics” ?

A．People who agree on the popularity of “eco??guilt”．

B．People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.C．People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.D．People who spread comforting news to protect our environment.2．Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborg's book?

A．Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests.B．The book challenges views about the fine state of the world.6 / 8

C．The author convinces people to seek comforting worldviews.D．Industry??funded media present confusing information.3．The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to

________.A．voice a different opinion

B．find fault with Lomborg's book

C．challenge the authority of the media

D．point out the value of scientific views

4．What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage?

A．To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye.B．To warn the public of the danger of half??blindness with reviews.C．To blame the media's lack of responsibility in presenting information.D．To show the importance of presenting overall information by the media.答案与解析

1.B 细节理解题。从第一段第三句“他们中的一些不承认人类活动对环境造成的严重危害”可知B项正确。

2.A 细节理解题。从第二段第一句“那或许能解释这本书为什么这么受欢迎”及第三句“另一种解释是一些特别的利益”可知A项正确。

3.A 主旨大意题。前文提到很多人对有关环境问题不好的消息质疑，文章倒数第二段提到这种片面的观点应该立刻受到挑战，然而在Nature上仅仅出现了为数不多的评论，故作者在此处提到the review in Nature是为了发表不同的观点。故选A项。

4.D 推理判断题。本文是观点类议论文，开头部分提出了一种反面的观点，然后对此提出批判，最后点明了本文的中心——媒体应该展现一些能让公
