　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　A

　　When Ricochet was just a young pup, her owner Judy Fridono hoped the dog might one day become a service dog and help people. But Ricochet had other plans, at least for the first part. She flunked out of service dog training, but she went on to help millions of people around the world learn how to trust, how to love, and how to surf.

　　According to Fridono, the golden retriever seemed naturally suited to life as a service dog. She was great with people, especially kids, and she had plenty of energy. But birds were her weakness. She just couldn't seem to stop chasing them. And that's not a good attribute for a service dog that needs to focus on the person she's helping.

　　Fridono says she was initially disappointed when Ricochet flunked out of service dog school. But it wasn't long before the pup let her true skills shine through. At just 8 weeks old, Ricochet clambered on to a boogie board that had been left in a children's pool, demonstrating her unique talent for balance.

　　Soon, Ricochet was making headlines as the beach-loving dog who could hang ten on a surfboard. But she wasn't finished showing off her special talents yet.

　　"One day at the beach, she jumped on a surfboard with a 14-year-old boy who had spinal cord(脊髓) injuries," Fridono told the Daily Mail. "It was that moment that her life purpose to surf with people who are disabled was realized. She's just such an inspiration to everyone — she's got such a strong connection to people, and we see such improvements in the people who she surfs with."

　　Ricochet now surfs daily with children and adults with special needs. She specializes in helping military veterans(退伍军人) with some diseases and children with autism(自闭症) by connecting with them in ways that no one else can.

　　21. What do we know about Ricochet?

　　A. She has been helpful for many people.

　　B. She was taught how to surf.

　　C. She saved thousands of people’s lives.

　　D. She learnt special skills at service dog school.

　　22. What was Ricochet’s shortcoming when in training school?

　　A. Impatience. B. Great pride. C. Lack of concentration. D. Not being brave.

　　23. What may have amazed Fridono?

　　A. Ricochet’s widespread popularity.

　　B. Ricochet’s rapid progress.

　　C. Ricochet’s extraordinary talents.

　　D. Ricochet’s dropping out of school.

　　24. What can we infer from the text?

　　A. Ricochet once had a spinal cord injury.

　　B. Fridono made Ricochet’s dream come true.

　　C. Ricochet has a unique connection with people having special needs.

　　D. Fridono helped Ricochet develop her skills and talents.

　　B

　　Drive through any suburb in the U.S. today, and it's hard to miss the bins that have become companions to America’s trash cans. Recycling has become commonplace, as people recognize the need to care for the environment. Yet most people’s recycling consciousness extends only as far as paper, bottles, and cans. People seldom find themselves facing the growing problem of e-waste.

　　E-waste rapidly increases as the techno-fashionable frequently upgrade to the most advanced devices, and the majority of them end up in landfills(垃圾填埋地). Some people who track such waste say that users throw away nearly 2 million tons of TVs, VCRs, computers, cell phones, and other electronics every year. Unless we can find a safe replacement, this e-waste may get into the ground and poison the water with dangerous toxins(毒素), such as lead, mercury, and arsenic. Burning the waste also dangerously contaminates the air.

　　However, e-waste often contains reusable silver, gold, and other electrical materials. Recycling these materials reduces environmental problems by reducing both landfill waste and the need to look for such metals, which can destroy ecosystems.

　　A growing number of states have adopted laws to ban dumping(倾倒) e-waste. Still, less than a quarter of this refuse will reach lawful recycling programs. Some companies advertising safe disposal(处置) in fact merely ship the waste to some developing countries, where it still ends up in landfills. These organizations prevent progress by unsafely disposing of waste in an out-of-sight, out-of-mind location.

　　However, the small but growing number of cities and corporations that do handle e-waste responsibly represents progress toward making the world a cleaner, better place for us all.

　　25. What can we infer from the first paragraph?

　　A. Many Americans now have access to recycling bins.

　　B. E-waste cannot be put into trash cans in the U.S.

　　C. Most Americans have realized the dangers of e-waste.

　　D. Most of America’s trash cans are made of recycled material.

　　26. What can best replace the underlined word “contaminates” in Paragraph 2?

　　A. Pollutes. B. Heats. C. Absorbs. D. Reduces.

　　27. How does the author feel about burying e-waste in landfills?

　　A. It’s important. B. It’s unsafe.

　　C. It’s acceptable. D. It’s uncommon.

　　28. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text?

　　A. To tell us how to recycle e-waste.

　　B. To talk about the future of e-waste.

　　C. To discuss if it’s necessary to recycle e-waste.

　　D. To encourage us to deal with e-waste properly.

　　C

　　For most of us Veterans Day just means a chance to enjoy an extra day off from school or work. However this November 11th, be sure to spend a few minutes on the true purpose, by acknowledging(感谢) the men and women who have served in our armed forces.

　　And you don't have to stop at just this one day. Join the over 10.000 youth members of the Young Marines group that honor these brave men and women all year long with special events and completely spoil them for an entire week, from November 4th to 11th, by visiting hospitalized veterans, performing chores for disabled veterans and even organizing community-wide social events. The program open to kids ranging from the age of eight all the way to high school, is a great way to not only show your appreciation, but also get a chance to do some fun activities with like-minded kids and make a real difference in a veteran’s life.

　　People often believe that Memorial Day and Veterans Day are celebrated for the same reason. There is however a subtle but important difference between the two. While both honor our military personnel, the former is a day to remember and pay respect to all the men and women that died serving our country in a war, while Veterans Day is to celebrate the soldiers who are still alive and served in the forces at any time, during peace or war.

　　Though several other countries celebrate this day in honor of their own veterans, the meaning is slightly different for each one. Some like the United Kingdom, celebrate it in honor of all soldiers—living or dead, while others like Canada celebrate it to honor all living veterans. They also call it different names. France and New Zealand still call it Armistice Day. In the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada it is referred to as Rememberance Day, while Malta and South Africa celebrate it as Poppy Day.

　　No matter what it is called, the reason for observing the day is the same---to show our appreciation to the brave men and women who sacrifice(牺牲) everything to make this world a safer place for the rest of us.

　　29. What’s the main purpose of Veterans Day?

　　A. To celebrate America’s success in word wais.

　　B. To let people have one more day off.

　　C. To organize fun activities for school children.

　　D. To show respect for soldiers’ contributions.

　　30. What can kids do at the Young Marines group program?

　　A. Organize parties for disabled veterans.

　　B. Help take care of sick veterans.

　　C. Share stories with veterans and other kids.

　　D. Entertain veterans by singing and dancing.

　　31. What can we learn about Memorial Day?

　　A. It is another name for Veterans Day.

　　B. It is in remembrance of war dead.

　　C. It is observed on November 11th every year.

　　D. It honors soldiers who are serving in the military.

　　32. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

　　A. The origin of veterans Day. B. The history of Veterans Day.

　　C. Veterans Day observance. D. Veterans Day around the world.

　　D

　　In hisbook The Tipping canadian author Malcolm Gladwell explains how a trend can take many forms. It can be a general change in social behavior, an idea or a fashion. However, why do some trends catch on and others not? What makes on particular brand of training shoe suddenly become the must-have product? How do people find out about trends and what makes people want to buy into them? Is it simply a question of keeping up with other people?

　　In his new work, Gladwell explores the moment when something becomes common and how products, ideas, messages and forms of behavior spread. He looks at the reasons why trends are similar in the way they develop to outbreaks of disease, or medical epidemics(流行病).

　　Epidemics, like trends, start in a very small way, maybe from a single person with a virus, then spread very will quickly until slow down gradually or die out suddenly. Gladwell shows how these changes happen not gradually but at one sudden moment.

　　Gladwell identifies three types of people who are influential in the development of these kinds of social epidemics:

　　Connectors are people in a community who have wide social circles. They know a lot of people and like to introduce people to each other. The people they know often come from a variety of social, cultural, professional and economic circles.

　　Mavens are people with a lot of knowledge or experts in a particular field. They wish to pass on their knowledge to others. Mavens collect and gather information so are the first to pick up on new trends.

　　Salesmen are people with charisma(魅力). They have a “soft” influence over people rather than actual power. This means they are influential because people want to imitate them.

　　Overall, Gladwell’s book is a thought-provoking(引人深思的)read for anyone interested in the origins of trends. What’s more, he writes in a clear style so even the most difficult ideas are easy to understand.

　　33. What do we know about Gladwell?

　　A. He is a productive North American writer.

　　B. He has written many books on the subject of trends.

　　C. He thinks trends develop in the same way as illnesses.

　　D. He believes there are three types of people in the world.

　　34. According to the text, connectors .

　　A. are very social persons

　　B. often follow others

　　C. know many people from the same circle

　　D. are knowledgeable and experienced

　　35. What do we learn from the text?

　　A. Salesmen try to control other people using their power.

　　B. Mavens quickly become aware of changes in fashions.

　　C. Connectors and Mavens try to get their information across.

　　D. Gladwell’s book is interesting but hard to understand for readers.
