The reason I was in this class had 21 to do with my intelligence. I am blind. The school 22 that it would be better for me to learn at a lower level because it takes me a great deal longer to complete school tasks. The only problem with being in this class was that I was 23 by "at-risk" students, who did not perform well in school and were 24 in trouble with the school and the law. On Monday mornings, the kids talked about what they had done during the past 25 . I tried not to listen, but it was almost 26 not to. I heard things in that classroom that shocked me. 27 the teacher was in the room, that didn"t stop my classmates from 28 their stories of drugs and violence. 29 I was tired of their rude words. I even began to 30 the fact that I had to be there. One Tuesday morning, I went to a Christian Student Union meeting before school, where a guest speaker talked to us about praying for our 31 no matter how much we hated them. I thought a lot and began to pray for the kids in my class, asking God to 32 them for they weren"t bad kids; they were just 33 . 34 what I did was automatic. When I heard their voices in class, I would pray, "Dear God, please bless so-and-so . . ." But as I continued, something was growing 35 my heart for them. My classmates gradually became more than just annoying kids to me. They began to feel like family, and I was learning to love them in a way I 36 thought possible. I now see that praying is such a 37 act. When I pray for those around me, it also 38 my life, and it changes my understanding of others. I realized God"s blessings enabled me to see the world through 39 eyes. The prayers I said for others 40 to help me the most. 21. A. something B. nothing C. everything D. anything 22. A. described B. doubted C. decided D. defended 23. A. laughed B. beaten C. tricked D. surrounded 24. A. constantly B. regularly C. occasionally D. especially 25. A. holiday B. month C. weekend D. party 26. A. informal B. unnecessary C. illegal D. impossible 27. A. Only if B. Now that C. As though D. Even though 28. A. sharing B. admiring C. learning D. creating 29. A. No wonder B. Without doubt C. Without delay D. No sense 30. A. prove B. refuse C. hate D. ignore 31. A. friends B. enemies C. teachers D. relatives 32. A. appreciate B. dismiss C. promote D. forgive 33. A. lost B. forgotten C. cheated D. disturbed 34. A.In general B. After all C. At first D. On the whole 35. A. beyond B. under C. above D. inside 36. A. never B. ever C. even D. once 37. A. technical B. powerful C. typical D. suitable 38. A. reflects B. satisfies C. risks D. blesses 39.

![](http://img.shitiku.com.cn/uploads/allimg/20191208/20191208200304-96459.jpg) C Jiang Nan, a full-time mother in Beijing, keeps a dozen or so cloth bags at home, carefully selecting one or two before heading out to get groceries. “Most of them were giveaways from advertising marketing campaigns, but others had been handed out in the street by various environmental protection organizations,” she explained. Since June 2008 China has forbidden the production, sale and usage of plastic bags thinner than 0.025 millimeter (毫米), and retailers(零售商) are not allowed to provide free plastic bags to their customers, regardless of the thickness. Many Chinese consumers like Jiang have learned to refuse plastic bags whenever possible in their shopping. “A plastic bag may only cost a few jiao, but it’s more about how bad they are for the environment,” Jiang said. The plastic ban is for the most part well carried out in big cities, and has been distinctly effective in reducing white waste. On the first anniversary of the plastic ban Global Village of Beijing, an NGO environmental organization, shows that during the year of the ban the consumption of plastic bags fell by about 40 billion pieces in chain supermarkets alone, saving more than 1.2 million tons of petroleum. However, enforcement shows considerably less muscle in smaller cities, towns and country- side. In a remote town like Lichuan, the awareness of environmental protection is not as strong as that in big cities. Street vendors(街头小贩) worry that they are likely to lose customers if they charge them for plastic bags. Seeing no significance in the issue, local government often turn a blind eye to banned bag traffic in the market. There are still those who don’t have an interest in living green. Cui Lin, another Beijinger, often forgets to bring a cloth bag when shopping, and has to buy plastic bags. “Anyway I think plastic bags are neater and cleaner, and I don’t mind paying a couple more jiao,” he shrugged. Mrs Yu, a vegetable vendor in Lichuan County, Jiangxi Province, recalled that before plastic bags became popular in the early 1990s, Chinese people always carried a bamboo basket when they visited the market. “Plastic bags are more convenient,” she comments, and her view might be that of the tens of millions of people in the nation who still cling to plastic bags, paid or free. This is suggested by her trade where piles of plastic bags are still passed out every day. 49. In Paragraph 1, the writer uses Jiang Nan’s case to __________.
A. introduce a topic
| B. tell a story
| C. describe a person
| D. offer an argument
| How did Jiang Nan get her cloth bags?
A. She bought them at a low price. C. She borrowed them from her relatives.
| B. She got them for free. D. She made them herself.
| 51. Which is NOT the reason why some people still use plastic bags when shopping?
A. Cloth bags are difficult to get and heavy to carry.
| B. People’s awareness of environmental protection is not strong enough.
| C. People don’t mind paying a couple more jiao for plastic bags.
| D. Street vendors worry that they are likely to lose customers if they charge them.
| 52. What message does the writer mostly convey in the passage?
A. To reduce white waste is urgent.
| B. The plastic bag ban has achieved great success.
| C. There is still a long way to go for the plastic bag ban.
| D. People’s awareness of environmental protection should be stressed.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分) 阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 “Tell me, Wally,” my amazed friend asked the driver, “have you always served customers like this?” Wally smiled into the back-view mirror. “No, not always. In fact, it’s only been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spent most of my time complaining like all the rest of the taxi drivers do. Then I heard the personal growth of Wayne Dyer, on the radio one day. He had just written a book called You’ll See It When You Believe It. Dyer said that if you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, you’ll rarely disappoint yourself. He said, ‘Stop complaining! Distinguish yourself from your competition. Don’t be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles fly high above the crowd.’” “That hit me right between the eyes. Dyer was really talking about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decided to change my attitude and become an eagle. I looked around at the other taxis and their drivers. The taxis were dirty, the drivers were unfriendly, and the customers were unhappy. So I decided to make some changes. I put in a few at a time. When my customers responded well, I did more.” “I take it that has paid off for you,” I said. “It sure has,” Wally replied. “My first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from the previous year. This year I’ll probably quadruple(增四倍) it. You were lucky to get me today. I don’t sit at taxi-stands anymore. My customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on my answering machine. If I can’t pick them up myself, I get a trustworthy friend to do it and I take a piece of the action.” Wally was phenomenal. He was running a first-class service out of a Yellow Taxi. I’ve probably told that story to more than fifty taxi drivers over the years, and only two took the idea and ran with it. Whenever I go to their cities, I give them a call. The rest of the drivers quacked like ducks and told me all the reasons they couldn’t do any of what I was suggesting. Wally, the Taxi Driver, made a different choice. 51. The underlined word “phenomenal” means ______. A.easy-going B.warm-hearted C.flexible D.remarkable 52. Wally doesn’t park his taxi at taxi-stands just because _______. A.his income doubles. B.his taxi is usually fully booked C.he has a company of his own. D.he has a look of a disgusting eagle 53. Wally’s income doubled when he improved his service about ______. A.one year ago B.two years ago C.five years ago D.seven years ago 54. After reading the passage we may draw a safe conclusion that ______. A.kindness must be rewarded B.it’s easy to say but hard to do C.good service pays off in the end D.the early bird catches the worm |
