You have to steer！”Sadly, that wasnt the last time I failed to steer when some obstacle knocked me off course in my life.Many times problems, troubles, and my own failures have sent me crashing into the trees of anger, frustration, and despair.I am still learning that life isnt always safe sledding.I am still learning that it is up to me to steer myself back to love, back to kindness, back to goodness, and back to God.Life is a trip, but no one ever said it was a smooth ride.Steer well then.Steer straight.Steer your soul towards the light and the love that are all meant for us.語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文，主要講述了作者小時候有一次滑雪時差點撞到橡樹上，但在最后一刻，作者翻滾到雪地里才得以化險為夷，同時他學(xué)到了一個人生道理：要學(xué)會自我掌控。4What do we know about the author when he was very young?AHe lived on a big hill with huge oak trees on it.BHe was frightened to go sledding with his brothers.CHe longed to go sledding with his brothers.DHe carried his brothers sleds as they went sledding.解析：選C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第三句“I remember watching them with envy because I was still too small to go sledding.”可知，作者因為年齡太小而不能去滑雪，只能嫉妒地看著哥哥們玩。據(jù)此可知，作者小時候很渴望和哥哥們一起滑雪，故C項正確。5Which of the following can replace the underlined word “exhilarating” in Paragraph 2?AdelightfulBterrifyingCordinary Dviolent解析：選A詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段第二句“It was so exhilarating when the wind whipped across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled.”可知，這句話描述的是作者第一次滑雪時在木雪橇上從山上沖下去，風(fēng)從臉上刮過時的快感。根據(jù)第一段作者渴望滑雪的描述再結(jié)合下文中的“overjoyed”可知，作者玩得很開心，據(jù)此可以判斷，畫線詞意為“令人愉快的”，故A項正確。6Why did the author fall off his sled?ABecause his sled crashed into an oak tree.BBecause he lost control of his sled.CBecause his brother pushed it so hard.DBecause the hillside was snowy.解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“I was doing pretty well .one of those big oak trees.”可知，作者撞到了雪地里的一個樹樁，然后徑直撞向一棵大橡樹，再結(jié)合該段中的“At the last possible second .the tree.”可知，作者在快要撞到橡樹的那一刻從雪橇上翻滾下來，從而避開了危險。據(jù)此可以判斷，作者從雪橇上掉下來是因為他失去了對雪橇的控制。故B項正確。7What does the author mean to tell us?ALosing control of a sled can be dangerous.BCourage and determination can change ones life.CLife can be controlled by oneself.DLife is a mystery full of coincidences.解析：選C寫作意圖題。通讀全文再根據(jù)最后一段的前兩句“Life is a trip, but no one ever said it was a smooth ride.Steer well then.”可知，作者認(rèn)為人生的旅程不是一帆風(fēng)順的，應(yīng)該學(xué)會掌控生活。據(jù)此可以判斷，本文旨在告訴讀者，人生是可以由自己掌控的，故C項正確。CPrince Edward Island resident, Joe Dorgan, began feeding his cows a diet rich in seaweed eleven years ago as a way to cut costs.He soon discovered that the diet not only saved him money, but also made his cows healthier, even eliminating (消除) their methanerich burps and farts (充滿甲烷的打嗝和放屁)Cows are smelly creatures, emitting (排出) harmful methane gas, which is more poisonous than carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere every time they burp or fart, which happens a lot.Sheep are just as bad.In fact, cows and sheep are responsible for 14.5 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions each year, and most of that comes from cows.Dorgan thought he was only helping out his wallet and his herd, until a researcher named Rob Kinley caught wind of this unusual diet.Dorgans seaweed mix included Irish moss (苔蘚), rockweed, and kelp (a type of large brown seaweed)Kinley used this special mixture to test exactly how it was affecting the cows.His research showed that the special blend reduced the amount of methane gas by 20 percent.Kinley then tested other varieties of seaweed to see which had the biggest effect on methane production.After testing nearly 40 different types of seaweed, he discovered that Asparagopsis taxiformis, a species of red seaweed, nearly eliminated the methane emission.This is all thanks to bromoform found in seaweed that reduces the methane byproduct.A discovery like this could be a game changer when it comes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.Kinley hopes to be able to convert the seaweed into a marketable food to sell to farmers a “supergrass” that can cut methane.The environment is a hot button issue right now, with more than 1.5 billion cows in the world.As more people become aware of the environmental issues that surround the agricultural industry, many appear willing to cut back on their meat intake.With over 1.3 billion people relying on farm animals to feed their families, this could be a major blow to some farmers.If the “supergrass” was readily available, farmers could continue providing meat to the world, while reducing emissions.語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)喂母牛吃海藻不僅有利于減少成本，而且可以幫助母牛減少排放甲烷，使他的母牛更加健康。8Why did Dorgan feed his cows a special diet?ATo save money.BTo cure his cows.CTo perform an experiment.DTo fight against climate change.解析：選A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“began feeding his cows a diet rich in seaweed eleven years ago as a way to cut costs”可知，Dorgan給母牛喂含海藻的食物是為了省錢。9Which helps reduce the most methane according to Kinleys research?AIrish moss.BRockweed.CA type of red seaweed. DA type of brown seaweed.解析：選C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句中的“he discovered that Asparagopsis taxiformis, a species of red seaweed, nearly eliminated the methane emission”可知，一種紅色的海藻能最大程度地消除甲烷排放。10What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 6 refer to?APeople having a healthy diet.BMany people eating less meat.CMany people enjoying eating meat.DPeople worrying about climate change.解析：選B代詞指代題。根據(jù)畫線詞前一句“As more people become aware of the environmental issues .many appear willing to cut back on their meat intake.”及畫線詞后的“a major blow to some farmers”可推斷，畫線詞指代隨著人們環(huán)保意識的增強(qiáng)很多人樂意少吃肉。11What is the purpose of the text?ATo introduce a way to cut methane.BTo call on readers to reduce meat intake.CTo praise a farmer who found special seaweed.DTo persuade readers to protect the environment.解析：選A寫作意圖題。通讀全文可知，文章主要介紹了一種減少甲烷排放的方法，即在家畜的食物中加入海藻。DWhile extroverts (性格外向者) often make great first impressions with their outgoing manner and lively personalities in interviews, that “value and reputation at work diminish (削減) over time，” says Corinne Bendersky, an associate professor of management.“Extroverts disappoint us over time when theyre part of a team，” Bendersky says.“On a team youre expected to work hard and contribute a lot.But theyre often poor listeners, and they dont collaborate.”“On the other hand, introverts (性格內(nèi)向者) work hard on a team because they care what others think of them.They dont want to be seen as not pulling_their_weight or contributing 100%，” Bendersky says.So while companies may be attracted to hiring extroverts because they impress managers greatly in job interviews, bosses also may want to consider whether the extrovert they are considering will be a valuable team player, Bendersky says.Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, two writers, agree and say managers should recognize the strengths of introverted employees, such as their ability to put themselves in someone elses shoes.“These team members are often easygoing, which can make them exceptional mentors (良師益友) to more junior staff or particularly good sounding boards when you interact with them in oneonone situations，” Su says.“Managers must try to help introverts find their voice，” Wilkins says.“Help them see that speaking up is not about selfpromotion or being in conflict but rather about offering the team key insights, making better decisions or increasing the efficiency for all.”What about those extroverts who never seem to be at a loss for words? Should managers cut them off? Managers definitely should weigh in on how an extrovert is affecting others.Wilkins suggests saying something in private to make adjustments.語篇解讀：本文是一篇議論文。文章討論了內(nèi)向的人和外向的人在面試和工作中的不同表現(xiàn)，并給管理者提出了一些建議。12What do we know about outgoing people according to Bendersky?AThey are good listeners.BThey are good at cooperating.CThey often make great contributions.DThey tend to perform well in interviews.解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“extroverts (性格外向者) often make great first impressions .in interviews”及第四段中的“they impress managers greatly in job interviews”可知，性格外向的人在面試中常常表現(xiàn)不錯。13Which can best replace the underlined part “pulling their weight” in Paragraph 3?ATrusting others.BMaking good choices.CDoing their full share of work.DTrying to share their thoughts.解析：選C詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線部分上一句中的“work hard on a team because they care what others think of them”及畫線部分后的“contributing 100%”，再對比上段關(guān)于性格外向的人的評價可推斷，性格內(nèi)向者工作努力，不愿意被視為工作不盡所能。故畫線部分的意思是“盡本分；盡所能”。14What is Sus attitude towards Benderskys words?ACritical.BTolerant.CDoubtful. DApproving.解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段第一句中的“Amy Jen Su .agree and say managers should recognize the strengths of introverted employees”及第六段可知，Su贊同Bendersky關(guān)于內(nèi)向的人和外向的人的言論。15What does Wilkins advise managers to do?APromote more introverts.BLearn to work more efficiently.CEncourage introverts to speak up.DAvoid conflict among employees.解析：選C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第一句“Managers must try to help introverts find their voice， Wilkins says.”可知，威爾金斯建議管理者鼓勵內(nèi)向的人發(fā)表自己的意見。.閱讀七選五Your first step toward healthy living is to get a handle on your health status right now.Heres your todo list：Assess your activity.
