【題目】I am peter Hodes ,a volunteer stem courier. Since March 2012, I've done 89 trips of those , 51 have been abroad, I have 42 hours to carry stem cells（干細(xì)胞）in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last, in all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐獻(xiàn)者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most, So I am always conscious of time.

I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you-there are no fights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for mere-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.

For this courier job, you’re consciously aware than that box you’re got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.

【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph17

A. provider B. delivery man

C. collector D. medical doctor

【2】WhydoesPeterhavetocompletehistripwithin42hours?

A. Hecannotstayawayfromhisjobtoolong.

B. Thedonorcanonlywaitforthatlong.

C. Theoperationneedsthatverymuch.

D. Theicewon'tlastanylonger.

【3】WhichflightdidthewomanputPeteronfirst?

A. ToLondon B. To Newark

C. ToProvidence D. ToWashington

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】B

【解析】試題分析：

【1】推斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段第三句 “from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor to the time they can be implanted in the patient” 可以推測(cè)，“我”負(fù)責(zé)的時(shí)間段是當(dāng)干細(xì)胞從捐獻(xiàn)者身體里取出之后到送到患者那里，可知“我”的身份像一個(gè)投遞員（delivery man）。A項(xiàng)，意為“供應(yīng)商”，C項(xiàng)，意為“收集者”，D項(xiàng)，意為“藥物醫(yī)生”，均不符合文意。故正確答案為B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第一段第二句 “I have 42 hours to carry stem cells in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that’s how long they last” 可知，“我”有42小時(shí)來(lái)用“我”的小箱子攜帶干細(xì)胞因?yàn)?/span>“我”有兩個(gè)冰袋，并且能持續(xù)制冷42小時(shí)。超過(guò)了42小時(shí)，冰袋就不會(huì)再持續(xù)維持低溫了。故正確答案為D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第二段最后一句 “re-routed me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled” 可知，在“我”說(shuō)了“我”的處境以后，值機(jī)柜臺(tái)的服務(wù)人員安排“我”了一架小飛機(jī)并為“我”改道經(jīng)過(guò) Newark 并返回英國(guó)。所以 Peter 首先到達(dá) Newark。故正確答案為B。

【題目】With the rapid spread of western cultures, a 【1】 (grow) number of Chinese people prefer western holidays to traditional ones. When Christmas or Valentine’s Day 【2】 (come), youngsters will flood into bars, restaurants, or department stores to celebrate these festivals, but actually they don’t know much about Chinese traditional festivals.

The reason behind this social phenomenon is obvious: in a society controlled by mass media and consumerism, festivals and holidays from abroad 【3】( identify ) as fashionable and new, while traditional ones are usually something out of date and old. Young people all over the world have regarded western life style, 【4】 ( especial) the life in Hollywood films, 【5】 their goal of life. As a consequence, 【6】 is no wonder that Chinese young people have much more affection for Christmas than China's Spring Festival.

We should think about the influence of such 【7】 social phenomenon carefully. It is obvious that the wide spread and recognition of western holidays is 【8】 ( harm) to our traditional value. If we don't take some 【9】 (measure) right now, some day in the future, Chinese cultural heritage may be strange to our grandchildren. It is high time for the government and all people 【10】 (take) action to protect our traditional culture.

【題目】Soft winds blew throughout the Windy City today. We welcomed the winds, as it was another hot day in Chicago. The wind blew, bringing us some coolness—and making the weather not that hot. But it was a beautiful summer day with a blue sky.

Chicago is a great city for eating, and we have enjoyed tasting the different foods. Last night, we tried one of the city’s most famous foods: deep-dish pizza. Chicago claims credit for the rich and cheesy thick-crust pizza, covered with a sweet tomato sauce. We topped it with olives and green peppers.

We were touring the city, mainly looking for delicious local foods. Today, we enjoyed a Polish specialty at lunch: Pierogis, an Eastern European dumpling-like dish, filled with foods like potatoes, cheese, mushrooms, cabbage and meat. Polish immigrants started settling in Chicago in the 1850s, and the city has one of the largest Polish communities in the U.S.

We took a break from exploring the city to talk with some of you! Ashley and Caty logged onto the Internet for an on-the -road version of TALK2US. We spoke to an English teacher in Tokyo, Japan, and a graduate student in India.

Meanwhile, Adam searched for some locations around the city to shoot some video. He chose a spectacular spot: Navy Pier, Chicago’s most-visited attraction. The winds from Lake Michigan keep visitors cool, and the view of the Chicago skyline never fails to impress. In fact, the view made all of us head over heels!

Our time in Chicago has come to an end. Tomorrow, the true journey begins, as we pass through Illinois and into Missouri via Route 66. Springfield, the home of Abe Lincoln, and St. Louis, the “gateway to the West,” wait for us.

【1】Why did the author and her companions like the soft winds?

A. It brought warmth to them.

B. It left the sky blue and beautiful.

C. It improved the quality of the air.

D. It made them feel comfortable.

【2】What did the author and her companions mainly do in Chicago?

A. They enjoyed famous local foods.

B. They visited Polish communities.

C. They studied the history of the city.

D. They explored for foreign customs.

【3】The author and her companions stayed online .

A. sharing their travel plan with strangers

B. asking for information on foreign foods

C. communicating with strangers abroad

D. learning about different cultures in the world

【4】The underlined part “head over heels” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by .

A. bored B. relaxed

C. fascinated D. disappointed
