阅读下列短文：从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
December 15, 2014
Dear Alfred，
I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.
Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150+ at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.
However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.
While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t . So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.
Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.
Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public , I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.
Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I’m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole. This is why you’re saving my life.
Yours,
Tanis

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
The “Give It Up for Earth Day” encourages people to commit to giving up actions that are harmful to the environment, such as using poisonous cleaners.
Throughout the month of April, Canadians are being asked to “Give It Up for Earth Day！”Earth Day has been celebrated every year on April 22 since 1970. Earth Day Canada president Jed Goldberg says that as people become more environmentally aware, they want to find ways to reduce their environmental influence, not just celebrate one special event.
“Earth Day is a great launching_pad for thinking about environmental action
every day，”said Goldberg. “Choosing healthier options, even for the short term,
can lead to thinking about the influence of our decisions for a lifetime.”
That's the reason behind the “Give It Up for Earth Day” campaign. It's designed to encourage healthy habits that benefit people and the planet. It challenges everyone to help create a healthier world by making changes in their daily routine.
“We wanted to plan an actiontargeted campaign that will give people a chance to act on their concern for the environment in a positive way，”said Goldberg.
The campaign has identified four daily actions that can add up to huge environmental savings. They include pledging (保证) to turn off the TV, give up the use of poisonous cleaners, reduce consumption of consumer products and cut out meat.
At the end of April, all of the pledges will be recorded and converted (转化) into the number of TV hours not watched, dollars not spent on unnecessary items, electricity saved, greenhouse gas emissions (排放) avoided by cutting out meat, and poisonous chemicals produced from homes and landfills.
“What we're trying to achieve this year for Earth Day is to give people a chance to do something that is meaningful and measurable，”said Goldberg.
文章大意：4月22日是世界地球日，活动“Give It Up for Earth Day”倡导人们在地球日这一天为保护环境做一些有意义、行之有效的事情。
1．The aim of the campaign mentioned in the passage is to ________.
A．enable people to save more money for future use
B．help people develop environmentally friendly habits
C．prevent people from making changes in their daily routine
D．warn people against reducing consumption of consumer products
答案：B细节理解题。根据文章第四段第二句“It's designed to encourage healthy habits that benefit people and the planet.”可知，答案B符合文义。
2．The underlined word “launching pad” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “________”．A．starting point B．finishing line
C．exchanging stage D．reforming stage
答案：A词义猜测题。画线词所在句意为：地球日是一个引发人们开始对人类日常活动对环境所造成的影响进行思考的起点，由此结合上文“... they want to find ways to reduce their environmental influence, not just celebrate one special event.”和下文中“can lead to thinking about...”可推知，答案A符合文义。finishing line终点线；exchanging stage交流平台；reforming stage改革舞台，均不符合文义，故排除。
3．We can conclude from the passage that ________.
A．Earth Day was first celebrated over half a century ago
B．short term decisions will by no means influence our lives
C．Earth Day Canada is actually an everyday environmental action
D．daily actions must be measured to benefit the environment
答案：D推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二、三段的整体理解并结合文章最后一句中的“meaningful and measurable”可以推知，我们应该以对环境的影响好坏为标准来判断日常行为是否可行。由此可知，答案D符合文义。
4．Which disagrees with the spirit of “Give It Up for Earth Day”？
A．Switching off TV.
B．Riding bikes.
C．Using poisonous cleaners.
D．Saving electricity.
答案：C细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段的第二句“They include pledging (保证) to turn off the TV, give up the use of poisonous cleaners...”可知，答案C符合文义。

I first met Li Meng at a friend birthday party five years ago. Then I invited Li Meng over in

II、语法填空
【语篇导读】本文主要讲了发生火灾时应注意的事项以及如何在火灾中逃生。
1．breaks[考查时态。有主句时态可知此处应用一般现在时，在it后面，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。break out为不及物动词短语，不用被动语态。]
2．are killed[考查被动语态。根据句意，每年有11 000个人在着火的房子中伤亡，所以填kill 的被动形式，因为是陈述事实，所以be动词用现在时。]
3．careless[考查形容词。根据句意，吸烟者引发死伤和火灾，所以是粗心大意的吸烟者。] 4．who[考查定语从句。由句子结构可知此处应填定语从句的引导词，先行词是人并在定语从句中作主语，所以用who。]
5．the[考查冠词。前文中提到了fire，所以在此处提到上文提到过的事物时，要用定冠词the，
表示特指。]
6．going[考查动名词。此处的before是介词，介词后面的名词要用动名词形式。] 7．slowly[考查副词。open此处为动词，所以用副词形式slowly。]
8．others[考查代词。others：“其他人”，此处做warn的宾语，other为形容词，后必有名词。] 9．as[考查语境和介词。考查语境和介词。根据句意，在逃跑的过程中使用这个技能，此处as作为介词，有“作为”的意思。]
10．length[考查名词。空前的arm’s是物主代词，后面应该接名词，long的名词形式是length(长度)。]
III、完形填空

1. A。不幸的是(unfortunately)，小男孩发现自己在一处很薄的(thin)冰上滑冰。

教材练习答案及听力原文 Unit 1 WARMING UP ?Answers: 1 Archimedes, Ancient Greek (287-21 2 BC) He was a mathematician. He found that if you put an object into water the water pushes the object up. It rises and partly floats. The force of the water pushing it up is the same as the weight of the object. 2 Charles Darwin, British (1808-1882) The Origin of Species was published in 1859. It explained how plants and animals had changed over time to fit in with a changing environment. At the time it was published it was very controversial. Many people believed the Bible when it said that God made the first two people (Adam and Eve) and that all other people came from these two. Darwin’s book showed that people had developed from apes instead. So this caused a lot of ar gument between religious and scientific people. However Darwin’s idea became very influential and is still accepted today. 3 Thomas Newcomen, British (1663-1729) He improved the first steam pump built by Thomas Savery in 1698 and turned it into a steam engine for taking water out of mines in 1712. James Watt improved it still further in the 1770s turning it into the first modern steam engine used on the railways. 4 Gregor Mendel, Czech (1822-1884) He grew pea plants and developed ideas on heredity and inherited characteristics. He concentrated on cross-fertilising pea plants and analyzing the results. Between 1856-1863 he grew 28,000 pea plants. He examined seven kinds of seed and plant characteristics and developed some laws of inheritance. The first is that inheritance factors do not combine but are passed to the next generation intact. Second, he found that each partner gives half the inherited factors to the young. Third, some of these factors show up in the offspring (and so are dominant). The other factors are masked by the dominant ones (and so are recessive). 5 Marie Curie, Polish and French (1867-1934) She was born in Poland and came to study in France in 1891 and she lived there for the rest of her life. In 1898 she discovered radium. She received two Nobel prizes, one (with Pierre Curie) for physics (1903) and one for chemistry (1911). She is the only person to have been so honoured. On the death of her husband she took over his job at the Sorbonne in Paris. Her work on radioactivity and the discovery of radium meant that she began a new scientific area of research. She was the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize and the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne. 6 Thomas Edison, American (1847-1931) He was already an inventor of other electrical devices (phonograph, electric light bulb) when in 1882 he designed a system for providing New York with electricity from a central power station. This was a tremendous achievement, which had previously been thought impossible.
