　　(2024·秦皇島市高三質檢)Beijing plans to keep a tight rule on pollution by cutting emissions caused by industrial production and vehicles when it hosts the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in November.

　　From November 3 to 12, the city will restrict the use of private vehicles based on even-and odd-numbered license plates, reducing the use of such vehicles by 35 percent, the municipal (市政府的) traffic committee said on Thursday.

　　All vehicles transporting construction waste and dangerous chemicals will be banned from the capital's roads during this period, but the restriction will not apply to buses, taxis and other vehicles such as police cars.

　　The measures are similar to those introduced from July 20 to Sept. 20 in 2008 during the Beijing Olympic Games.

　　“The number of passengers using public transport will increase by 3 million a day, ” said Li Shaoming, deputy director of the Beijing Traffic Management Bureau.

　　During the 10 days, 400 additional buses will be used to transport commuters to meet the increased demands.

　　The municipal government has also drawn up eight plans to reduce industrial pollution during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum.

　　Zhuang Zhidong, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, said, “From Nov. 3, production at some companies listed by the government will be suspended for 10 days.”

　　Work will also be suspended at all construction sites and on demolition projects during this period.

　　“More importantly, Beijing will work with its neighbors to control emissions，” Zhuang said, adding that there will be regular discussion on air pollution among six governments.

　　Neighboring authorities in Tianjin Municipality, Hebei, Shanxi and Shandong Province and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region will operate strict pollution control measures over the 10 days.

　　Media reports said that from Nov. 7 to 12, employee departments, institutes and social organizations in Beijing can have a holiday, except for departments dealing with the APEC meeting and city management.

　　解析：選B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段內容可知，并不是所有在北京的人這幾天都有假期，故B項正確；根據(jù)第二段中的“From November 3 to 12 ... by 35 percent”可知，是減少使用私家車，不是禁止使用，故A項錯誤；根據(jù)第三段中的“but the restriction will not ... police cars”可知，C項不正確；根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段內容可知，北京附近的一些省份也將采取措施治理污染，但是沒提到采取的是相同的措施，故D項不正確。

　　2．What is the purpose of the vehicle restriction?

　　A．To reduce the emissions caused by vehicles.

　　B．To call on people to use public transport.

　　C．To advocate a new lifestyle.

　　D．To display the friendliness of Beijing people.

　　解析：選A　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的“Beijing plans to keep a tight rule on pollution by cutting emissions caused by industrial production and vehicles”可知，限制汽車的使用是為了減少它們所產生的污染。故A項正確。

　　3．The underlined word “suspended” (Paragraph 8) probably means “________”．A．delayedB．continued

　　C．completed

　　D．reduced

　　解析：選A　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞前后的信息可知，因為要治理污染，所以一些被政府列出來的公司的生產將被延期，即A項正確。

　　(2024·聊城模擬)You signed up for soccer, and played every game of the season. Sure, you're not the best player on the team, but most days you gave it your all. Do you deserve a trophy (獎杯)?

　　If the decision is up to Carol Dweck, the answer would likely be no. She's a psychology professor at Stanford University, California. She says a player doesn't have to be the best to get a trophy. But those who receive an award should have to work for it. She suggests trophies go to the most improved player, or the one who contributed most to the team spirit, as well as to those who play the best.

　　“The trophy has to stand for something，” Dweck told TFK. “If we give a trophy to everyone, then the award has no value.” Dweck argues that giving kids trophies for particular reasons, such as improving

　　in a sport, teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying our best.

　　Others say that there's no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport, regardless of how they played or whether or not they improved.

　　“I think we should encourage kids' participation in sports，” says Kenneth Barish, a psychology professor at Weill Cornell Medical College,

　　in New York City. “A trophy is one way to encourage kids' efforts.”

　　Barish argues that when we single_out only the best or even the most improved players with a trophy, we are teaching kids the wrong lesson. We are sending the message that winning is everything. “Winning is only part of the equation (等式)，” Barish told TFK. “Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of exercise.”

　　There will be plenty of opportunities for kids to learn about competition as they get older, says Barish. They'll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl. For now, he thinks there's nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winners. That means trophies for everyone.

　　語篇解讀：本文是一篇議論文。如果孩子參加體育比賽，那么是不是每個人都該得到獎杯呢？文章就這個問題給出了兩種不同的看法。

　　5．According to Carol Dweck, which player should receive a trophy?

　　A．Tony, the most attractive player of the soccer team.

　　B．David, a soccer player who is both clever and funny.

　　C．Peter, who is ready to help his partners to score goals.

　　D．Jim, a soccer player who tries his best to win the game.

　　解析：選C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段可知，斯坦福大學的心理學教授Carol Dweck認為，獲獎的運動員未必是最好的運動員。她認為，進步最大的、對團隊精神貢獻最多的和表現(xiàn)最佳的運動員都應獲獎。故C項正確。

　　6．Which of the following statements would Kenneth Barish agree with?

　　A．There is no sense in giving a trophy to everyone.

　　B．Kids fond of playing sports should be rewarded.

　　C．Kids should be given trophies for trying their best.

　　D．It is necessary to encourage kids' participation in sports.

　　解析：選D　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段可知，紐約市威爾康乃爾醫(yī)學院的心理學教授Kenneth Barish認為，我們應該鼓勵孩子參加體育活動。頒發(fā)獎杯就是一種激勵方式。

　　7．The underlined phrase “single out” in Paragraph 6 probably means “________”．

　　A．honourB．choose

　　C．value

　　D．stress

　　解析：選B　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第六段可知，Barish認為，當我們挑選出最佳球員或進步最大的球員并授予他們獎杯的時候，我們給孩子們傳遞了一個錯誤的信號：獲勝就是一切。因此畫線的短語“single out”意為“挑出”。

　　8．Which shows the correct structure of the text?

　　解析：選B　篇章結構題。本文的第一段為導語，導入討論的話題。第二、三段陳述了斯坦福大學的心理學教授Carol Dweck的主要觀點：反對參與者人人獲獎。下文(第四段至第七段)陳述的是紐約市威爾康乃爾醫(yī)學院的心理學教授Kenneth Barish的觀點，即贊成參與者人人獲獎。因此B項清晰地展示了本文的結構。

　　C

　　(2024·河北省七校聯(lián)合考試)It was something she had dreamed of since she was five. Finally, after years of training and intensive workouts, Deborah Duffey was going to compete in her first high school basketball game. The goals of becoming an outstanding player and playing college ball were never far from Deborah's mind.

　　The game was against Mills High School. With 1 minute and 42 seconds left in the game, Deborah's team led by one point. A player of Mills had possession of the ball，and Deborah ran to guard against her. As Deborah was running to block the player, her knee went out and she fell down on the court in burning pain. Just like that, Deborah's season was over.

　　After suffering the bad injury, Deborah found that, for the first time in her life, she was in a situation beyond her control. Game after game, she could do nothing but sit on the sidelines watching others play the game that she loved so much.

　　Injuries limited Deborah's time on the court as she hurt her knees three more times in the next five years. She had to spend countless hours in a physical clinic to receive treatment. Her frequent visits there gave her a passion and respect for the profession.

　　And Deborah began to see a new light in her life.

　　Currently as a senior in college, Deborah focuses on getting a degree in physical treatment. After she graduates, Deborah plans to use her knowledge to educate people how to best take care of their bodies and cope with the feelings of hopelessness that she remembers so well.

　　語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。主要介紹了Deborah Duffey是如何從籃球比賽的受傷中獲得新生的。

　　9.How did Deborah feel when she first hurt her knee?

　　A．Calm.　B．Confused.

　　C．Ashamed.

　　D．Disappointed.

　　解析：選 D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“she was in a situation beyond her control. Game after game, she could do nothing

　　but ...

　　loved so much.”可推知，Deborah在第一次膝蓋受傷時感到失望，故選D項。

　　10．What is TRUE about Deborah Duffey?

　　A．She didn't play on the court after the injury.

　　B．She injured her knee when she was trying to block a player.

　　C．She knew that she couldn't be a basketball player when she was a child.

　　D．She refused to seek professional assistance to help her recover from her injuries.

　　解析：選B　正誤判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“As Deborah was running to block the player, her knee went out and she fell down on the court in burning pain.”可知，Deborah在攔截一個球員時，膝蓋受傷了，故選B項。

　　11．What is the best title for this passage?

　　A．A Painful Mistake

　　B．A Great Adventure

　　C．A Lifelong Punishment

　　D．A New Direction in Life

　　解析：選D　標題歸納題。根據(jù)文章最后一段可知，Deborah Duffey 現(xiàn)在正在大學學習物理療法，畢業(yè)后，她打算利用所學知識教育人們如何照顧身體和處理無助的感覺，即Deborah 找到了新的人生方向，故選D項。
