故选B。

【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。

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。

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。

Tips for Cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money, and time.36 Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So toda y I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there’s nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? 372. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 38 It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.3. 39 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully that gives you a good start. 40 And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A. Try new things.B. Ability is easily improved.C. Make three or four instead.D. Understand your food better.E. Cooking is a burden for many people.F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.36—40 BGCAF2015全国Ⅱ卷根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AArriving in Sydney on his own from India,my husband,Rashid,stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.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 strange city,thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized 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.21.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A.Go shoppingB.Find a houseC.Join his familyD.Take his family22.The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from.A.a friend of his familyB.a Sydney policemanC.a letter in his papersD.a stranger in Sydney23.What does the underlined word“restored”in the last paragraph mean?A.Showed B.Sent out C.Delivered D.Gave back24.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.From India to Australia.B.Living in a a New Country.C.Turning Trash to Treasure.D.In Search of New Friends.BSince the first Earth Day in1970,American have gotten a lot“greener”toward the environment.“We didn’t know at that time 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 According to US government reports,emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from10.3million tons a year to5.5tons.The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from40to9.Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with,the world is a safer and healthier place.A kind of“Green thinking”has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved.In1988there were only600recycling programs;today in1995 there are about6,600.Advanced lights,motors,and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Twenty-five years ago,there were hardly any education programs for environment.Today,it’s hard to find a public school,university,or law school that does not have such a kind of program.”Until we do that, nothing else will change!”say Bruce Anderson.25.According to Anderson,before1970,Americans had little idea about.A.the social movementB.recycling techniquesC.environmental problemsD.the importance of Earth Day26.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A.The grass-roots levelB.The business circleernment officialsD.University professors27.What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?A.They have cut car emissions to the lowest.B.They have settled their environmental problems.C.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D.They have reduced pollution through effective measures.28.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?cationB.PlanningC.Green livingD.CO reductionCOne of the latest trend（趋势）in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs.Au Pair in Stamford,for example,has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around4,000since2004. And that’s true all across the country.“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age”Joseph Stocke,the managing director of s company,says of his2-year-old son.“I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future.”After only six months of being cared by25-year-old woman from China,the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions,his dad says.Li Drake,a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband,had another reason for looking for an au pair from China.She didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots.“Because I am Chinese,my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触)the language and culture.”she says.“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,”says Suzanne Flynn,a professor in language education of Children.“But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce plete mastery demands continued learning until the age of10or 12.”The popularity if au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to learn Chinese.It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.29.What does that term“au pair”in the text mean?A.A mother raising her children on her own.B.A child learning a foreign language at home.C.A professor in language education of children.D.A young foreign woman taking care of children.30.Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them.A.to live in China some day B.to speak the language at homeC.to catch up wit other childrenD.to learn about the Chinese culture31.What can we infer from the text?A.Learning Chinese is becoming popular in America.cated woman do better in looking after children.C.Chinese au pairs need to improve their English Skills.D.Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.DMetro Pocket GuideMetrorail(地铁)Each passenger needs a farecard to enter and go out.Up to two children under age five may travel free with a paying customer.Farecard machines are in every station.Bring small bills because there are no change machines in the stations and farecard machines only provide up to$5in change.Get one ticket of unlimited Metrorall rides with a One Day Pass.Buy it from a farecard machine in Metro e it after9:30a.m.until closing on weekdays,and all day on weekends and holidays.

2014年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（广东卷)本试卷共12页，三大题，满分135分，考试用时120分钟Ⅰ语言知识及应用(共两节,满分45分）第一节完形填空1. D 逻辑推断题由文章首句it is difficult to live with the teenagers（父母觉得和青少年住在一起很难）与第二句it is not easy living with them （孩子觉得和父母一起住也不易）可推断出，孩子和父母有“相似的”感受。

2. B 根据上下文推断由前面所说的，可知父母和孩子之间有矛盾，再根据regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks（关于不整洁以及日常事情)，结合各个选项,只有argument（争吵)适合。

3. C 根据上下文推断由空格前面parents go mad (父母发狂）以及clothesthrown on the floor 可知，房间是messy （凌乱不堪的)4. B 由上文可以推断出，孩子们拒绝的是做家务，所以选择housework。

5. C 逻辑推断题由后面not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping可以推出这里是dropping the towel in the bathroom，都是父母责怪他们的原因。

6. A 逻辑推断题根据下一句some approach are more…可以推断出该空是填approach。

7. D 逻辑推断题，由接下来两个例子，可以看出，有的方法比别的方法更成功。

第二个例子中的do the better 也可以推断出该空是successful.8. A 逻辑推断题前面父母对着孩子叫喊之后，但是，后来又为他们清扫房间。

9. A 文中所说的都是孩子们的不爱整洁的行为，所以应该选择behavior.10.C 逻辑推断题,由下文所举的例子“不帮父母买东西他们在冰箱里就就找不到自己喜欢合的饮料”，这就是让孩子感受到自己的行为产生的后果。

AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit.I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model.I realized this a day late, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually,this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.1. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.2.Which of the following can best re place the phrase”signed off”in Paragraph 1?A. ended all their programsB. provided fewer channelsC. changed to commercialsD. showed all-night movies3. How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting it.B. By turning it on and off.C. By switching channels.D. By having it repaired.4. How does the another sound when telling the story ?A. CuriousB. AnxiousC. CautiousD. HumorousBYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes, Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake（摄入）jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.5. The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets6.
