During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport. He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organised again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one. Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband‘s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath. My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend. That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way. 1.

【解析】根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，那位女孩的父母是在一封写了一半的信里发现作者丈夫留给朋友的新电话号码的。故选C。 23.【答案】D 【解析】根据“not only...but also...”所连接的“restore”后面的宾语，并结合上文可知，小女孩一家人把那些重要的文件还给了作者的丈夫，所以此处应选D项，意为“恢复”。 24.【答案】C 【解析】文章主要讲述了作者的丈夫丢失的重要文件被人扔在垃圾箱里面，然后又被一家好心人捡到重新归还给作者的丈夫的故事，这使作者的丈夫又重拾了对人性的信任。作者丈夫的这些东西之所以能够失而复得离不开垃圾箱这一线索。因此C项做标题最恰当。 文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“地球日”的来历以及它在唤起人们的环保意识、节能减排、保护环境等方面所做的贡献。 25.【答案】C 【解析】根据文章第一段可知，在1970年以前人们不知道什么是“环境”，更不知道环境问题。故选C。 26.【答案】A细节理解题。难度中等。 【解析】根据第二段第二句可知，文中的“millions of”与题干中的“mainly”相符，所以对环保的支持主要来自美国的草根民众。故选A。 27【答案】D 【解析】根据倒数第二段尤其是该段最后一句内容可知，美国通过采取有效的措施大大降低了污染。C项干扰性很强，但是与原文第三段第二句“The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.”不符，原文意思是说CO超标的城市数量从40个减少到9个。故选D。 28.【答案】A 【解析】该段主要说明了教育对提升人们的环保意识起到了重要作用。其中第一句中直接出现了education 的提示。故选A。 文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了汉语在美国日益受到欢迎，从而引起了au pair（住家保姆）的火热:即通过雇用说汉语的中国保姆来照顾孩子，使孩子们能够和保姆学习汉语。 【考点】推理判断题。难度中等。 29.【答案】D 【解析】根据第二段最后一句可推知，该句是说这个男孩在由来自中国的25岁的女士看护了六个月后，已经能够理解基本的汉语日常用语了，由此可推知，画线词应该是指照看孩子的外国年轻妇女，即住家保姆。故选D。

2014—2014学年度湖北省补习学校联合体大联考英语2 高考英语 2014-01-11 1328 C A is for always getting to work on time. B is for being extremely busy. C is for the conscientious ( 勤勤恳恳的 ) way you do your job. You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics. Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable—or unwilling—to play the game. People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior, says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. But politics derives from the word ‘polite’. It can mean lobbying(游说) and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return. In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form of socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well. The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis, says Neil P. Lewis, a management psychologist. But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’s simple human nature.
