第一节（共15题；每题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
At the age of seven I started taking violin lessons. I practiced half an hour every day, went to lessons once a week, and occasionally played in a group concert. Like most kids, I always thought practicing was boring. If my parents hadn't been there to make me practice, I probably would have put down my violin and never have picked it up again.
I met Moira when I was 11 at an Irish music party. Moira hosted the party that night, playing the violin, singing and dancing. She made sure that everyone in the room got involved and had a great time. I immediately fell in love with the music
she played and the energy that she brought to it. Just a few days after that party, I took my first lesson with Moira, and I continued taking lessons with Moira throughout middle school.
When I started playing the violin with Moira, playing music became something that I loved. She introduced me to so many types of music, from Irish to Old Time, to Cajun. Moira also taught me to play the guitar. Soon we started performing together and were shocked to discover that people actually wanted to hear us! When I began to play the violin, practicing was something that I did at home in my living room, but with Moira's influence it quickly became something that I did everywhere. I played on street corners, at festivals, at the beach, at parties, at weddings, and late at night in my friends' kitchens.
Moira took the music out of the classroom and brought it to life. Her passion (激情) was not only for playing music, but also for sharing it. My time with Moira allowed me to grow both musically and personally. I have met so many special people and had so many invaluable experiences. Moira has proven to be the most important influence in my musical development, and also my invaluable friend.

Food festivals around the world
Stilton Cheese Rolling
May Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane（赛道）. Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors arc served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.
Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on Earth
Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy（辛辣）,but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three clays every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing's for sure—if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn't for
you!
La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina—the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.
The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for
a much-needed wash!

Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude
that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favourite TV show is over.
According to Dr Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as highquality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity — or extreme overweight —among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.
9. In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr Joseph Mercola?
A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.
B. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.
C. They regard eating as a key part of their life style.
D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.
10. This text is mainly the relationship between ____ ．
A. Americans and the French
B. life style and obesity
C. children and adults
D. fast food and overweight
11. The text is mainly developed ______ ．
A. by contrast (对?)
B. by space
C. by process
D. by classification (分类)
【答案】9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了美国和法国生活方式的不同，以及他们的生活方式与肥胖之间的关系。作者以为什么美国人在与肥胖作斗争而法国人享受着美食且保持身材苗条引出话题，并展开讨论。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的the French see eating as an important part of their lifestyle.可知，法国人将饮食当作生活的一部分。C. They regard eating as a key part of their life style.(他们把饮食当作生活中重要的一部分)符合以上说法，故选C项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段的Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.(研究人员总结，法国人倾向于在吃饱时停止进餐，然而，美国人倾向于在他们的盘子空了时或者电视节目结束时才停止进餐)可知，本文主要介绍了美国和法国的生活方式的不同，而且美国的饮食方式容易造成肥胖，而法国的饮食方式可保持身体苗条，也就是主要介绍的生活方式与肥胖之间的关系。B. Life style and obesity.(生活方式和肥胖)符合以上说法，故选B项。
【11题详解】
判断推理题。通读全文，尤其根据Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin?可知，作者在第一段以为什么美国人在与肥胖作斗争而法国人享受着美食且保持身材苗条引出话题，故推测本文主要通过对比的写作方式来阐述问题。A. by contrast (对?)符合以上推测，故选A项。
D
Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers, desire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.
Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their
purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.
This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environmental reputation was not good enough.
Harry Morrison, chief executive (主管) of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes: “I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking —we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”
Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions (排放). Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.
The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “When companies are granted (授予) the standard, they can use a logo (标识) in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,” Mr. Morrison said.
12. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.
B. Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.
C. Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.
D. Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers, environmental awareness. 13. The underlined word “inform” in Paragraph 2 probably means “”.A. affect B. change
C. disturb
D. reject
14. According to Harry Morrison, businesses .
A. will benefit from cutting carbon emissions
B. should buy carbon allowances for shoppers
C. are required to make up for their carbon emissions
D. have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere
15. We can learn from the passage that businesses will .
A. have a strong desire to reduce costs
B. use the same logo in their marketing
C. gain advantages by taking early action
D. attract more shoppers by storing goods
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. C
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了由于消费者环保意识的增强，各公司不得不下大力气减少碳的排放量。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文及第一段Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers, desire to go green.(企业正经历一个艰难的时期，这反过来又对消费者产生了影响，促使他们渴望环保)和第二段中的Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environmental reputation was not good enough.(三分之二的人认为从对环境负责的公司购买产品很重要，约七分之一的人表示，如果他们觉得某家公司的环境声誉不够好，他们甚至决定到其他地方去购买)可知，文章主要介绍了消费者和环保意识正敦促企业减少碳排放。故选D。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据该词所在句后面的内容while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.(而超过四分之一的人表示，他们现在甚至更加清楚环境对他们所购买产品的影响)可知，Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as
they did a year ago意为“三分之二的消费者表示，环境因素对他们购物的影响与一年前相同”。由此可知，划线词与选项中的effect意思相同。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段Harry Morrison所说的一番话，特别是最后一句In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.(此外，随着成本下降，降低碳排放会产生立竿见影的效果，对品牌来说也是中期效益)可推断，企业将从减少碳排放中获益。故选A
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段第二句Those that have taken early action will have a head start.(那些及早采取行动的企业将占得先机)可知，那些通过早期行动的企业将获得优势。故选C。
