Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.
Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.
Among the bag makers' argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.
The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.
Environmentalists don't dispute(质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.
4. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?
A. Help increase grocery sales.
B. Recycle the waste material.
C. Stop things falling off trucks.
D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.
5. What does the word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Bans on plastic bags.
B. Effects of city development.
C. Headaches caused by garbage.
D. Plastic bags hung in trees.
6. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?
A. They are quite expensive.
B. Replacing them can be difficult.
C. They are less strong than plastic bags.
D. Producing them requires more energy.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Plastic, Paper or Neither
B. Industry, Pollution and Environment
C. Recycle or Throw Away
D. Garbage Collection and Waste Control

My First Marathon
A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was ＂not athletic＂.
The idea that I was ＂not athletic＂ stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: ＂GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!＂
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a ＂marathon winner＂.
8. A month before the marathon, the author ____________.
A. was well trained B. felt scared
C. made up his mind to run D. lost hope
9. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?
A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.
B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.
C. To show he was not talented in sports.
D. To share a precious memory.
10. How was the author’s first marathon?
A. He made it. B. He quit halfway.
C. He got the first prize. D. He walked to the end.
11. What does the story mainly tell us?
A. A man owes his success to his family support.
B. A winner is one with a great effort of will.
C. Failure is the mother of success.
D. One is never too old to learn.

【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第10段I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.可知，作者坚持到了最后，而且得到了一块奖牌，虽然不是第一名，由此可见他成功地跑完了马拉松。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者在讲述自己跑马拉松的经历，再根据最后一段Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a ＂marathon winner＂.可知，作者成功跑完马拉松源于自己的意志。故选B。
点睛：文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持，这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要，同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。命题人往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章，以获得某些特定的信息，或准确地寻求所需的细节，并对细节进行直接或间接辨认和理解。文章细节的理解可以细化为：（1）一一对应型。（2）语言转述型。（3）语意理解型。（4）是非辨别型。（5）事实排序型。
此题中的前三题为细节理解题。细节理解题首先要根据题干准确定位信息句，其次要对信息句进行准确的理解和判断，如第一题为转述型，I was determined to go ahead即made up his mind to run。第二题为语义理解题。根据文章第二段的信息In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well.可知，作者没有运动天赋。而第三题则为转述型，根据信息句I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.可知，作者跑完了马拉松，正好与made it 意义相同。
Asia’s mountain glaciers (冰川) will lose at least a third of their mass through global warming by the century’s end, with serious consequences for millions of people who rely on them for fresh water, researchers have said. The high mountains of Asia consist of a geographical region surrounding the Tibetan Plateau, holding the biggest store of frozen water outside the poles. It feeds many of the world’s great rivers, including the Ganges, the Indus and the Yarlung Zangbo River, on which hundreds of millions of people depend.
Nearly 200 nations adopted the Paris Agreement in 2015, which sets the goal of limiting warming to a level of “well below” 2°C, while “pursuing efforts” to achieve a lower ceiling of 1.5°C. Earth’s surface has already warmed by about 1°C, according to scientists.
The Asian high mountains, the new study said, were already warming more rapidly than the global average. A global temperature rise of 1.5°C would mean an average increase in the region of about 2.1°C, with differences between mountain ranges - all of which will warm by more than 1.5°C. The Hindu Kush mountain range would warm by about 2.3°C and the eastern Himalaya Mountains by 1.9°C, the study forecast.
“Even if temperatures stabilize at their current level, (glacier) mass loss will continue for decades to come,” the researchers added. “For the high mountain glaciers to survive, it is vital to reduce the global temperature increase to the lowest possible level.”
A study in July in the journal Nature Climate Change said there was only a 5% chance of holding global warming under 2°C. For 1.5°C, the chance was about 1%. On current trends, some experts project Earth is on track to warm by about 3°C.
12. What is stressed about Asia’s mountain glaciers in the first paragraph?
A. The reason for its melting.
B. Its importance.
C. Its geographical condition.
D. The consequences caused by its decrease.
13. What do we know about the temperature on the earth’s surface?
A. It keeps up its normal level.
B. It has risen too much since the Paris Agreement was made.
C. It is far below the level that the Paris Agreement demands.
D. It is near the lower ceiling that the Paris Agreement demands.
14. How may we guarantee these glaciers, continued existence, according to researchers?
A. Hold global warming under 2°C.
B. Try to save water as much as we can.
C. Keep global temperature increase to a minimum.
D. Make the global temperature stable at its current level.
15. How does the author develop the passage?
A. Giving examples. B. Describing.
C. Presenting data. D. Comparing.

___19___ Therefore, if you feel uncomfortable about asking a question in front of your classmates, wait till the class is over. This will probably put you more at ease.
Write down your questions.

【分析】
本文属于说明文，爱问问题不是一个坏习惯，但是也要注意方式方法，本文介绍了提升问问题的几个技巧。
【16题详解】
根据前一句You are one of the most familiar faces in class, not because you are funny or have great note-taking abilities but because you ask the most number of questions.可知，你是班上最熟悉的面孔，是因为最爱问问题，因而承接C选项，爱问问题不是一个坏的品质，进而引出本文的话题，问问题也要注意技巧，故选C。
【17题详解】
根据本段小标题Be clear about what you want to know.可知，本段主要讲问问题必要要明确问题，讲要点，故F选项“问题应该让人容易理解和切中要点”与小标题符合，故选F。
【18题详解】
根据本段If you put your question in context (语境), you can be sure of it.可知，把问题带入语境可以更加明确问题，因此，本段主要讲述 问问题不能太独立，应该放在语境中，故E选项“结合语境问问题”切题。
【19题详解】
根据后一句Therefore, if you feel uncomfortable about asking a question in front of your classmates, wait till the class is over.可知，如果不方便当着全班同学的面问问题，就在课后问，而G选项“一对一的交流肯定比一对多的要好得多”阐明一对一交流的优势，因而需要重视，故与后一句therefore形成因果关系，逻辑符合，故选G。
【20题详解】
根据后一句They may appear when you’re studying, reading or taking notes.可知，问题可能出现在学习、阅读或者记笔记的时候，因而B选项“问题可能出现在任何时候”为总领句，后一句为举例，故选B。
【点睛】充分利用小标题做七选五。七选五主要考查文章上下文以及段落大意。而且七选五文章多为说明文，文章结构多为总分结构，而且常常附带小标题，因此充分利用小标题，对于选项的选择就很有帮助了。小标题通常就是本段的中心思想，本段都会围绕小标题展开来写，比如本文小题2、小题5都是可以根据小标题来确定答案。

【41题详解】

【42题详解】
考查词性转换。句意为：从我第一次见到他的那一天起，他就以他的忠诚、善良、智慧和爱心赐福于我的生活。设空处前后的loyalty, kindness，love都是名词，与设空处共同作with的宾语，因此，设空处也应用名词。故填wisdom。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意为：对我来说，他有四条腿而不是两条腿，他有皮毛而不是衣服，他对着我吠叫，而不是和我说话，这没关系。 It doesn’t matter to sh．that．．为固定句型，其中that引主语从句，It为形式主语，故填It。
【44题详解】

【48题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意为：我不确定在他离开这个世界之前我们还会在一起多久。before引导时间状语从句，主句为将来时，表示将来的动作，从句应用一般现在时表将来；从句的主语为第三人称单数he，故填passes.

知识点：短文改错
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国发明之一——我们日常生活所使用的筷子。
第一处：短语用法错误。短语be known for因……而闻名。句意：中国因许多发明而闻名。故many后加for。
第二处： 代词用法错误。根据句中主语we可知，这里的代词用our。句意：包括我们日常生活中所使用的筷子。故将your改为our。
第三处：时态用法错误。根据文中时态可知，应用一般现在时。句意：虽然筷子看起来很奇怪，只用两根棍子。故将seemed改为seem。
第四处：名词数用法错误。名词function为可数名词，根据前面的various可知用复数形式。句意：它们具有各种功能。故将function改为functions。
第五处：短语用法错误。短语it is convenient for sb. to do sth.方便某人做某事。句意：人们使用筷子很方便。故将convenience改为convenient。
第六处：定语从句用法错误。句中先行词chopsticks，在非限定性定语从句中作名词price的定语，故用关系代词whose。句意：它的价格也很低。故将which改为whose。
第七处：代词用法错误。根据上下文及句意可知，这里指“其它的”。句意：我们的筷子从中国传到亚洲其他国家。故将another改为other。
第八处：非谓语代词用法错误。句中宾语our chopsticks与补足语之间为被动关系，故用过过去分词。句意：无论我们到哪儿，我们都看到我们的筷子被广泛的使用。故将using改为used。
第九处：动词用法错误。动词return后不可用back。句意：中国人会有回到祖国的感觉。故将back去掉。
第十处：连词用法错误。根据上下文及句意可知，这里为转折关系。句意：筷子看起来虽小，但他们受到世界上许多人的喜爱。故将and改为but。

知识点：书面表达
Dear Tom,
Nice to receive your e-mail, I'd like to tell you about my favorite sport, table tennis, which is the most popular sport in China.
At the age of six, I began to learn to play table tennis from my parents, who are good at it. Since then, I´ve fallen in love with it and spent most of my free time learning to play it. Now I often practice playing table tennis with my friends and coach in my spare time. With time going on, I have learned many practical skills and won the first place in my school.
In my opinion, not only does the sport help me build up my body, train my brains and keep me confident, but also it helps me make a lot of friends. Therefore, I like it best of all the sports.
Yours，
Li Hua
