2．根据材料内容，选择正确答案。

C

Ted, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school with a letter. The letter was from his teacher. “I got a red flower today. Could you please sign this note?” he said to mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.

Ted hardly gets top scores in his school wo rk. The best he gets is “OK”, but he often gets “You can do better than this.” Mum knows what it means. She tells me “You can do better than this” means “Extremely bad” in China.

In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is “Please be nicer tomorrow”. Many parents are satisfied with a B-grade for each subject.

But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spend more time on homework than I did when I was 6th grade in the US! Yet his parents and teachers didn't think he worked hard enough. Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.

（1）Why did Ted come home with a letter last Friday?

A. Because the teacher wanted to visit his mother.

B. Because he did something wrong.

C. Because the teacher was happy with his progress.

D. Because the teacher thought he was too lazy.

（2）If a student in the USA gets “OK” in his schoolwork, it means ________.

A. he gets top scores

B. he gets medium scores

C. he gets extremely bad scores

D. he gets the worst scores

（3）The underlined words “high expectations” in this passage means “________”.

A. 很高的待遇

B. 很多的自由

C. 很高的期望

D. 很多的关爱

（4）The writer mainly wants to tell us ________.

A. the differences between Chinese education and American education

B. Chinese students are better than American students

C. American parents are not strict enough with their children

D. what's the best way to educate child

【答案】（1）B

（2）B

（3）C

（4）A

【解析】【分析】本文通过自己的感受谈论中国教育与美国教育的不同。美国的教育依靠学生的自觉性与自主性。中国的家长对孩子的要求严格，并且学校给学生的作业量上也是较大的。

⑴推理判断。根据第一段最后一句he had been talking in class结合上文得知，他在学校做了错事，那就是在课堂乱说话。故选B

⑵推理判断。问题：如果一名美国的学生在学校评语中得到了一个“OK”，它的意思是什么？分析原句：Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is "OK".句意：泰德几乎得不了很高的成绩在他的学校学习。他得到最好的评语是“OK”。联系下文，因为他的表现不好，所以他经常得到的是“你能做的比这次好。”因此体现当学生在学校成绩中等的时候，评语为OK.故选Ｂ。

⑶词义猜测。句意：但是，事情在中国的学校有很大的不同。父母对孩子有很高的期望。同时结合实际情况，中国的父母对孩子的期望很高。因此划线部分为很高有期望。故选C ⑷作者意图。根据最后一句Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.句意：中国的教育太严吗？还是美国的教育不严？可能两者都是真的。从中心句中得出结论，重点在介绍中国与美国的教育上有所不同。故选A

【点评】议论文阅读首先要弄清楚作者要证明什么观点，然后用什么样的论据进行怎样的分析，最后得出了什么样的结论，理清了线索，理解文章就不是问题。看题时注意确定关键词，然后在文章中定位，找到与选项一致的内容，就可以轻松的确定答案。

3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to print things such as clothing, prosthetic limbs （假肢）, musical instruments（乐器）and so on. People and businesses are able to create the things they need very quickly and easily using 3D printers.

But can you imagine printing food? Some scientists are trying to revolutionize our eating experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will become as usual as the microwave or blender. Scientists say that they are easy to use: you simply have to choose a recipe and put the food "inks" into the printer. You can also change the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create delicious meals.

Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting（运输） and packaging as food production would be quicker and easier.

Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphasia （吞咽障碍症）. They could program （为…编程）the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble eating them.

However, some people think that the future of 3D-printed food would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those for growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw "food ink". Similarly, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are worries about the printed food: is it really possible to get the nutrients （营养

物） we need from food-based inks and gels?

What's more, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the fun of cooking is dead and meals can be done at the touch of a button.

（1）What should we do first if we want to print food?

A. Choose a recipe.

B. Program the printer.

C. Change the instructions.

D. Put food "inks" into the printer.

（2）What does the underlined word "revolutionize" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Remember clearly.

B. Take seriously.

C. Change completely.

D. Teach carefully.（3）Which could be the advantage （好处）of 3D food printing?

A. Saving the environment.

B. Giving people nutrients.

C. Helping with traditional farming.

D. Offering more job chances.

（4）Which is the best title of the passage?

A. Why is 3D printing so popular?

B. Will 3D printing be the future of food?

C. 3D food printers in the kitchens

D. Different opinions on 3D printing

【答案】（1）A

（2）C

（3）A

（4）B

【解析】【分析】主要讲述3D打印技术，人们能用3D打印机创造像衣服，假肢，乐器等等东西。

（1）细节题，根据 you simply have to choose a recipe.可知首先必须选择食谱，故选A。（2）词句猜测题，根据Some scientists are trying to revolutionize our eating experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will become as usual as the microwave or blender. 一些科学家正在努力通过做这个来改变我们的饮食经验，可推出revolutionize意思为“完全改变”，故选C。

（3）细节题，根据Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment.可知使用3D打印机对我们的环境有益，故选A。

（4）主旨题，本文主要是讲未来用3D的优点和缺点，而且作者在最后一段It is hard to imagine a world where the fun of cooking is dead and meals can be done at the touch of a button. 提出了质疑，选项B符合标题，故选B。

【点评】考查阅读理解能力，细节题、词句猜测题及主旨题是阅读理解题中常见题型，细节题需要在文中寻找答案；词句猜测题需要联系上下文推出词句的意思；主旨题需要通读全文了解大意，得出中心思想。

B

Ladies and gentlemen, I returned to this year in a time machine. In the year 2500, we are able to travel through time to any year in the history of the earth. This year is your last chance to change your lifestyle to save the earth.

Beginning in the middle of the 20th century, a few people were worried about polluting the earth's water and air, but most people did not change their way of life. Instead, they continued to pour（倒） dangerous chemicals and other waste into lakes and seas, to drive more and more cars and trucks, and to cut down trees.

By the year 2200, the earth's water was completely polluted. Scientists said that in the future there might be too many people on the earth. People could no longer drink water, and they had to use other types of liquids（液体）.

So, by the year 2300, there were so many people that food became scarce. There was no water to grow food and all of the fish in the lakes and seas died because of pollution Terrier wars（战争） broke out between the rich and the poor. Scientists were working very hard to find another planet in space where humans could live on.

By the year 2400, the air was too polluted for humans to breathe. So we had to leave earth but only the rich were able to leave. Where did we go? Nowhere. And everywhere.

16．阅读理解

Have you ever wondered how and why a fall leaf changes color? We first have to understand what leaves are and what they do.

Plants are the world's food factories. Plants take water from the ground and take CO2 from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose（葡萄糖）. Glucose is a kind of sugar. Using it as food, plants get energy and grow. Plants using sunlight to turn water and CO2into sugar is called photosynthesis （光合作用）. Chlorophyll helps photosynthesis. It gives plants their green color.

As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees "know" to begin getting ready for winter. During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their food﹣making factories. As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves. These colors have been in the leaves all the time. We just can't see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll.

The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, glucose is caught in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn this glucose into a red color. The brown color of trees is made from waste left in the leaves. It is mixture of all these things. It makes the beautiful leaves during autumn.

（1）The underline word "chlorophyll" in the passage means in Chinese.

A. 胡萝卜素

C. 维生素

A. summer

B. autumn

D. water and glucose （4）What's the main idea of this passage?

A. What's photosynthesis?

B. How and why leaves change colors?

C. Different kinds of leaves.

D. How the seasons change.

【答案】（1）B

（2）A

（3）B

（4）B

【解析】【分析】主要讲了叶子怎样变色及为什么变色。

（1）推断题。根据Chlorophyll helps photosynthesis. It gives plants their green color.Chlorophyll 有助于光合作用，它赋予植物绿色，故选B。

（2）细节题。根据Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer.树木在这段时间休息，并以在夏季储存的食物为生，故选A。

（3）细节题。根据Plants using sunlight to turn water and CO2into sugar is called photosynthesis（光合作用），植物使用阳光将水和二氧化碳转化为糖称为光合作用，故选B。
