(2016·全国Ⅰ，C)I am Peter Hodes，a volunteer stem cell courier.Since March 2012，I've done 89 trips—of those,51 have been abroad，I have 42 hours to carry stem cells(干细胞)in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last.In all，from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient，we've got 72 hours at most.So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America.I picked up the stem cells in Providence，Rhode Island，and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London.But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence，the lady on the desk said：“Well，I'm really sorry，I've got some bad news for you—there are no flights from Washington.”So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said：“In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient—please，please，you've got to get me back to the United Kingdom.”She just dropped everything.She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me，re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job，you're consciously aware that in that box you've got something that is potentially going to save somebody's life.【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。

(2015·天津，C)One day when I was 12，my mother gave me an order：I was to walk to the public library，and borrow at least one book for the summer.This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read.In the library，I found my way into the “Children's Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random.The cover of a book caught my eye.It presented a picture of a beagle.I had recently had a beagle，the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child.He was my secret sharer，but one morning，he was gone，given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him.I never forgot my beagle.There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical(相同的) to my dog.I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover.My eyes ran across the title，Amos，the Beagle w ith a Plan.Unknowingly，I had read the title.Without opening the book，I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush，I started to read about Amos.I read very，very slowly with difficulty.Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home.That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book.At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion，on and on，until my own lost dog and I were，in my mind，running together.My mother's call returned me to the real world.I suddenly realized something：I had read a book，and I had loved reading that book.Everyone knew I could not read.But I had read it.Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous”(奇迹般的) experience that summer，but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year.And years later，she was proud that her son had readthousands of books，was awarded a PhD in literature，and authored his own books，articles，poetry and fiction.The power of the words has held.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过自己成功的经历来说明读书可以矫正阅读困难的毛病。

(2015·湖北，C)Hilversum is a medium-sized city between the major cities of Amsterdam and Utrecht in the Gooi area of North Holland，the Netherlands.Unlike most of the Netherlands，Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand.Once called the Garden of Amsterdam，it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding forests.They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness.For Dutch people，Hilversum is all about textile(纺织) and media industries，and modern architecture.In history，Hilversum was largely an agricultural area.Daily life was marked by farming，sheep raising and wool production.A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum.They built themselves large villas(别墅) in the wooded surroundings of the town.One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers，currently the wealthiest family of the Netherlands.They moved in after big success in the textile industry and aided a substantial textile industry in Hilversum.But the textile boom lasted only several decades.The last factory closed in the 1960s.The change to a media economy started in 1920，when the Nederlandse Seintoestellen Fabriek(NSF) established a radio factory in Hilversum.Most radio stations settled in the large villas in the leafy areas of the town.Television gave another push to the local economy.Hilversum became the media capital of the Netherlands，and Dutch television stars moved into the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town.In the early 1900s，modern architects W．M.Dudok and J．Duiker placed hundreds of remarkable buildings in Hilversum.These modern architectural masterpieces(杰作) are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an openair museum.Dudok alone shaped most of 20th century Hilversum and approximately 75 buildings still bear his unique characteristics.His masterpiece，Hilversum Town Hall，was built in 1928－1931.It has wide international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks.The building has a remarkable shape and looks like a combination of “blocks”．Actually，one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking or biking the W．M.Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum.【语篇解读】文章主要介绍荷兰小镇Hilversum的前世今生。

（2014·新课标全国Ⅱ,B）Since the first Earth Day in 1970，Americans have gotten a lot“greener”toward the environment。

“We didn’t know at that time that there even was an environment，let alone that there was a problem with it，”says Bruce Anderson，president of Earth Day USA．But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement.Business people，political leaders，university professors，and especially millions of grass.roots Americans are taking part in the movement.“The understanding has increased many，many times,”says Gaylord Nelson，the former governor from Wisconsin,who thought up the first Earth Day。

(2015·安徽，D)There are an extremely large number of ants worldwide.Each individual (个体的) ant hardly weighs anything，but put together they weigh roughly the same as all of mankind.They also live nearly everywhere，except on frozen mountain tops and around the poles.For animals their size，ants have been astonishingly successful，largely due to their wonderful social behavior.In colonies (群体) that range in size from a few hundred to tens of millions，they organize their lives with a clear division of labor.Even more amazing is how they achieve this level of organization.Where we use sound and sight to communicate，ants depend primarily on pheromones (外激素)，chemicals sent out by individuals and smelled or tasted by fellow members of their colony.When an ant finds food，it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is.When an individual ant comes under attack or is dying，it sends out an alarm pheromone to warn the colony to prepare for a conflict as a defense unit.In fact，when it comes to the art of war，ants have no equal.They are completely fearless and will readily take_on a creature much larger than themselves，attacking in large groups and overcoming their target.Such is their devotion to the common good of the colony that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will sacrifice their lives to help defeat an enemy.Behaving in this selfless and devoted manner，these little creatures have survived on Earth for more than 140 million years，far longer than dinosaurs.Because they think as one，they have a collective (集体的) intelligence greater than you would expect from its individual parts.【语篇解读】本文是说明文。

(2015·浙江，A)From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation.When children are little we make them read aloud，before the teacher and other children，so that we can be sure they “know” all the words they are reading.This means that when they don't know a word，they are going to make a mistake，right in front of everyone.After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years，I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books，and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.One day soon after school had started，I said to them，“Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before.I would like you to read a lot of books this year，but I want you to read them only for pleasure.I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not.If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it，that's enough for me.Also I'm not going to ask you what words mean.”The children sat stunned and silent.Was this a teacher talking？One girl，who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time，looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished.Then，still looking at me，she said slowly and seriously，“Mr.Holt，do you really mean that？”I said just as seriously，“I mean every word of it.”During the spring she really astonished me.One day，she was reading at her desk.From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was.I said to myself，“It can't be，” and went to take a closer look.Sure enough，she was reading Moby Dick，in the edition with woodcuts.I said，“Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going？”She answered，“Oh，sure，but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part.”This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is—an exciting，joyous adventure.Find something，dive into it，take the good parts，skip the bad parts，get what you can out of it，go on to something else.How different is our mean-spirited，picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of “understanding” that can be dug out of a book.【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

(2015·安徽，B)When her five daughters were young，Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结)．To show this，she held up one chopstick，representing one person.Then she easily broke it into two pieces.Next，she tied several chopsticks together，representing a family.She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks.This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California.However，when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975，they didn't have much money.They moved their family to San Francisco.There they joined Danny's mother，Diana，who owned a small Italian sandwich shop.Soon afterwards，Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant.The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young.However，Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves，but one by one，the daughters returned to work in the family business.They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles.Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other，they worked together to make the business successful.Daughter Elizabeth explains，“Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity，and to have unity we must have peace.Without the strength of the family，there is no business.”Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996，with threegenerations of Ans working together.Now the Ans' corporation makes more than 20 million each year.Although they began with a small restaurant，they had big dreams，and they worked together.Now they are a big success.【语篇解读】文章通过讲述一个家庭企业的发展历程来强调家庭团结的重要性。

(2015·陕西，B)When the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life，she did what comes naturally.The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and，being a city animal，lost both her sheep and her sense of direction.Then she ran along the edge of a cliff(悬崖) and fell 100 feet，bouncing off a rock into the sea.Her owner Mike Holden panicked and called the coastguard of Cornwall，who turned up in seconds.Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.Three days later，a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall.Mr.Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead.He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.For the next two weeks，the Holdens were heartbroken.Then，one day，the phone rang and Steve Tregear，the coastguard of Cornwall，asked Holden if he would like his dog back.A birdwatcher，armed with a telescope，found the pet sitting desperately on a rock.While he sounded the alarm，a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的) but had survived by drinking water from a fresh stream at the base of the cliff.She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge.“The dog was very thin and hungry，” Steve Tregear said.“It was a very lucky dog.She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water，” he added.It was，as Mr.Holden admitted，“a minor miracle(奇迹)”．【语篇解读】一只狗追赶一只羊，不慎落入悬崖。

(2015·陕西，C)The production of coffee beans is a huge，profitable business，but，unfortunately，full-sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage.The change in how coffee is grown from shade-grown production to full-sun production endangers the very existence of certain animals and birds，and even disturbs the world's ecological balance.On a local level，the damage of the forest required by full-sun fields affects the area's birds and animals.The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other species(物种) that depend on the trees' flowers and fruits.Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home.As a result，many species are quickly dying out.On a more global level，the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also threatens(威胁) human life.Medical research often makes use of the forests' plant and animal life，and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases.In addition，new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally，and eventually the world's groundwater.Both locally and globally，the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations(种植园) could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology.The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world's climate，and studies show that the loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming.Moreover，the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic(酸性的) soil conditions.It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects of life，from the local environment to the global ecology.But consumers do have a choice.They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible，although at a higher cost.The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.【语篇解读】咖啡豆从遮荫种植变成全日照种植，威胁到一些动物的存在，破坏了全世界的生态平衡。

(2015·北京，C)Life in the ClearTransparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window.These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet—as far as most light can reach.Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch.Sonke Johnsen，a scientist in biology，says，“These animals live through their life alone.They never touch anything unless they're eating it，or unless something is eating them.”And they are as clear as glass.How does an animal become see-through? It's trickier than you might think.The objects around you are visible because they interact with light.Light typically travels in a straight line.But some materials slow and scatter(散射) light，bouncing it away from its original path.Others absorb light，stopping it dead in its tracks.Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it，so you can see it easily.But a transparent object doesn't absorb or scatter light，at least not very much.Light can pass through it without bending or stopping.That means a transparent object doesn't look very different from the surrounding air or water.You don't see it—you see the things behind it.To become transparent，an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light.Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素) that absorb specific colors of light.But a transparent animal doesn't have pigments，so its tissues won't absorb light.According to Johnsen，avoiding absorption is actually easy.The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.Animals are built of many different materials—skin，fat，and more—and light moves through each at a different speed.Every time light moves into a material with a new speed，it bends and scatters.Transparent animals use different tricks to fightscattering.Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat.Without much tissue to scatter light，it is easier to be see-through.Others build a large，clear mass of non-living jelly-like(果冻状的) material and spread themselves over it.Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge，because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does.They need to look uniform.But how they're doing it is still unknown.One thing is clear：for these larger animals，staying transparent is an active process.When they die，they turn a non-transparent milky white.【语篇解读】本文是一篇科技说明文，文章解释了生活在海洋里的透明生物的特点、透明原理以及形成机制。
