Every New Year, many people make promises to themselves, only to see them fall by the wayside within a few months, weeks, or even days. However, 26-year-old Luke Cameron is not among those people. After losing a close friend known for her generosity (慷慨) and died of cancer in 2013, the young man decided to do at least one good deed (好事) every day for 365 days and he has not missed one yet.
Cameron performed his first good deed on January 1st, 2014, with the simple act of greeting a waitress at a cafe he visited. The next day he bought food and drinks for some homeless people. Cameron’s good small deeds have been recorded in an online diary, like taking out the garbage for an elderly neighbor or spending a few hours helping a disabled lady pick out a dress for a party. What’s more, the young man has also spent close to 4,000 of his own money, buying gifts for children in need.
Cameron has created a series of some cards, which he has called “Cards for Kindness”. Each card suggests a simple act of kindness — things like giving a stranger a hug or making peace with an enemy, which is to encourage others to perform good deeds.
Cameron’s generosity has not gone unnoticed. To reward the young man as he nears the end of his journey, pizza chain Domino’s recently awarded him a year’s supply of free pizza. Not surprisingly, the big-hearted young man has decided to use the gift to hold special pizza days for charity. His kind deeds have also won him a competition for the job of “National Philanthropy (慈善事业) Manager”.
4. What made Cameron decide to do good deeds every day
A. The need of a competition. B. The requirement of his job.
C. The influence of his families. D. The death of a close friend.
5. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The influence of simple acts of kindness. B. The good things that Cameron has done.
C. The importance of having close friends. D. The prizes that Cameron has received.
6. Why did Cameron create “Cards for Kindness”
A. To record his good deeds. B. To make peace with an enemy.
C. To raise money for some charities. D. To encourage people to show kindness.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text

C. A Good Deed Every Day D. The Best Man in Britain
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. C

Engineers and scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a unique solution to help people in these areas get clean drinking water
They developed a low-cost gel film(凝胶膜) that can pull water from the air in even the driest climate. Just one kilogram of gel can absorb up to six liters of water in a dry climate. For those living in a climate with relative humidity(潮湿), one kilogram of gel can collect up to 13 liters of water a day. As the gel is so inexpensive and easy to make, it may offer a way of providing drinking water to countries with water shortages.
Previously, researchers have harvested fresh water from fog and dew, but that only serves areas with high humidity. Other attempts at pulling water from desert air consume lots of energy and do not produce much. In fact, this gel is a big improvement from previous water harvesting technologies. The maximum water harvested has been 5.87 liters in places with relative humidity. This new gel doubles this amount, uses no energy and is simple to operate and it can be molded into a shape or size that best suits the user.
“This new work is about practical solutions that people can use to get water in the hottest, driest places on Earth,” said Guihua Yu, professor at the Cockrell School of Engineering. “This could allow millions of people without consistent access to drinking water to have simple, water generating devices(取水装置)at home that they can easily operate.”
“This is not something you need an advanced degree to use,” the paper’s lead author, Youhong “Nancy” Guo said. “It’s straightforward enough that anyone can make it at home if they have the materials.” Scientists are planning on making a thicker gel that will increase the production, making this technology a practicable solution to drought.
8. What do we know about the gel film from paragraph 2
A. It can increase the humidity of the air.
B. It can harvest drinking water from the air.
C. It has been widely applied in desert areas.
D. It costs lots of money and energy to produce.
9. What is Guihua Yu’s attitude towards the new water-harvesting method
A. Indifferent. B. Skeptical.
C. Disapproving. D. Hopeful.
10. What does the underlined word “straightforward” in last paragraph mean
A. easy. B. straight. C. frank . D. cheap
11. What will scientists plan to do next
A. Develop a thicker gel.
B. Produce the gel on a large scale.
C. Raise money for further research.
D. Teach people to make the gel at home.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的工程师和科学家开发了一种独特的解决方案，帮助这些地区的人们获取清洁的饮用水。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They developed a low-cost gel film(凝胶膜) that can pull water from the air in even the driest climate. Just one kilogram of gel can absorb up to six liters of water in a dry climate. As the gel is so inexpensive and easy to make, it may offer a way of providing drinking water to countries with water shortages.（他们研发了一种低成本的凝胶膜，这种凝胶膜即使在干燥的气候下也能从空气中吸水。在干燥的气候中，仅一公斤的凝胶就能吸收6升的水。因为这种凝胶价格低且易于制作，它可以为缺水国家提供饮用水。）”可知，这种凝胶膜可以从空气中获取饮用水，故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段““This new work is about practical solutions that people can use to get water in the hottest, driest places on Earth,” said Guihua Yu, professor at the Cockrell School of Engineering. “This could allow millions of people without consistent access to drinking water to have simple, water generating devices(取水装置)at home that they can easily operate.”（科克雷尔工程学院的教授Guihua Yu说道：‘这一新发明是很实用的解决方法，地球上最热最干燥的地区的人们可以使用这个方法来获取水。这能让无法一直拥有饮用水的百万人在家就可以简单地操作这一取水装置。’）”可知，认为，Guihua Yu这一新的取水装置能满足无法获取饮用水的人的需求，故他对这一取水设备是充满希望的，故选D。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段““This is not something you need an advanced degree to use,” the paper’s lead author, Youhong “Nancy” Guo said. “It’s straightforward enough that anyone can make it at home if they have the materials.”（ Youhong “Nancy” Guo说道：‘这并不是需要你有高级学位才能使用的东西，它很简单，以至于如果有材料，任何人都能在家制作’。）”中straightforward一词的前后文的提示“This is not something you need an advanced degree to use（这并不是需要你有高级学位才能使用的东西）”“anyone can make it at home if they have the materials.（如果有材料，任何人都能在家制作）”可知，这一设备是任何人都能制作出来的，故此处的“straightforward”与A项“easy简单的”意思相近，故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Scientists are planning on making a thicker gel that will increase the production, making this technology a practicable solution to drought.（科学家们正计划制作一个更厚的凝胶，以提高产量，使这项技术成为解决干旱的可行方案。）”可知，科学家们接下来会计划研发一个更厚的凝胶，故选A。
D
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term “couch potato” first appeared in print in a December, 1979 edition of the Los Angeles Times. Since then, has become a familiar term for a person who spends a lot of time sitting, and little time exercising. Although there does not seem to be any particular reason why the term “couch potato” is used rather than “couch tomato” , a person may become a “couch potato” because living this way is said to make you round like a potato. The term is also said to have something to do with the high-calorie (卡路里) food like potato chips.
People now would say “couch potato” whenever they talk about overweight and obesity (肥胖). Indeed, “couch potatoes” are believed to have heart disease risks, which can be avoided by regular exercise.
It is true that technology and modern life in general make us sick, fat, lazy and physically/mentally soft. The more time people spend using technology, particularly televisions and computers, the less time they will spend being physically active.
“Couch potato” kids are a particular concern. Media reports repeatedly claim that children today are fatter than their elder generations, but less athletically skilled, less interested in physical activities and more addicted (上瘾的) to “junk food” and technology such as televisions and computers. The message is clear: today’s children are fat because they are lazy and eat too much. Moreover, because technology is becoming more sophisticated (复杂的), children are less able to resist (抵抗，忍得住) technology’s attraction, and are more likely to spend more time using technology, less time doing physical activities and，therefore, more likely to be fat.
12. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.
A why “couch potato” is used as a term for a person
B. when “couch potato” is used as a term for a person
C. how “couch potato” is different from “couch tomato”
D. what kind of person looks like a potato
13. The development of technology also makes us sick because ________ by using technology.
A. we are more likely to have heart disease risks in modern life
B. we spend less time doing exercise
C. we needn’t do many things by ourselves any more
D. we spend all our time watching TV and playing computer games
14. It’s kids’ ________ that people are particularly concerned about.
A. food B. study
C. health D. hobby
15. According to the passage，the author may suggest that ________.
A scientists should stop their technology research
B. parents should take better care of their children
C. kids should be stopped from using new technology
D. people should spend less time using technology
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了“沙发土豆”这个概念，以及人们随着科技的发展变成了“沙发土豆”，从而逐渐的缺乏锻炼，影响身体健康的现象。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段最后两句“a person may become a “couch potato”because living this way is said to make you round like a potato. The term is also said to have something to do with the high-calorie (卡路里) food like potato chips.(一个人可能会变成“沙发土豆”，因为据说这样的生活方式会让你像土豆一样圆。据说这个词还和薯片等高热量食物有关)”可知，第一段主要是介绍了人们会被叫做“沙发土豆”的原因。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It is true that technology and modern life in general make us sick, fat, lazy and physically/mentally soft. The more time people spend using technology, particularly televisions and computers, the less time they will spend being physically active.(的确，科技和现代生活总体上让我们生病、肥胖、懒惰和身心虚弱。人们使用科技产品，特别是电视和电脑的时间越多，花在身体活动上的时间就越少)”可知，科技的发展使人们生病的原因是因为人们花费了很多时间在电视，电脑上，而很少进行身体锻炼。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的一二句““Couch potato” kids are a particular concern. Media reports repeatedly claim that children today are fatter than their elder generations, but less athletically skilled, less interested in physical activities and more addicted (上瘾的) to “junk food” and technology such as televisions and computers.(“沙发土豆”类型的孩子尤其值得关注。媒体报道一再声称，现在的孩子比上一代人更胖，但运动技能更差，对体育活动更不感兴趣，更沉迷于“垃圾食品”和电视、电脑等科技产品)”可知，这里是说孩子们的身体健康更应该要引起关注。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文理解可知，整篇文章都在说随着科技的发展，人们越来越依赖电视和电脑等而缺乏身体锻炼，成为一个“沙发土豆”，导致身体越来越差，尤其是孩子们也是这样。由此推知，作者的观点是希望大家能少依赖科技，远离电脑电视等，并且多加强锻炼。故选D项。

Every New Year, many people make promises to themselves, only to see them fall by the wayside within a few months, weeks, or even days. However, 26-year-old Luke Cameron is not among those people. After losing a close friend known for her generosity (慷慨) and died of cancer in 2013, the young man decided to do at least one good deed (好事) every day for 365 days and he has not missed one yet.
Cameron performed his first good deed on January 1st, 2014, with the simple act of greeting a waitress at a cafe he visited. The next day he bought food and drinks for some homeless people. Cameron’s good small deeds have been recorded in an online diary, like taking out the garbage for an elderly neighbor or spending a few hours helping a disabled lady pick out a dress for a party. What’s more, the young man has also spent close to 4,000 of his own money, buying gifts for children in need.
Cameron has created a series of some cards, which he has called “Cards for Kindness”. Each card suggests a simple act of kindness — things like giving a stranger a hug or making peace with an enemy, which is to encourage others to perform good deeds.
Cameron’s generosity has not gone unnoticed. To reward the young man as he nears the end of his journey, pizza chain Domino’s recently awarded him a year’s supply of free pizza. Not surprisingly, the big-hearted young man has decided to use the gift to hold special pizza days for charity. His kind deeds have also won him a competition for the job of “National Philanthropy (慈善事业) Manager”.
4. What made Cameron decide to do good deeds every day
A. The need of a competition. B. The requirement of his job.
C. The influence of his families. D. The death of a close friend.
5. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The influence of simple acts of kindness. B. The good things that Cameron has done.
C. The importance of having close friends. D. The prizes that Cameron has received.
6. Why did Cameron create “Cards for Kindness”
A. To record his good deeds. B. To make peace with an enemy.
C. To raise money for some charities. D. To encourage people to show kindness.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. No Pains, No Gains B. The Power of Dreams
C. A Good Deed Every Day D. The Best Man in Britain
C
Engineers and scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a unique solution to help people in these areas get clean drinking water.
They developed a low-cost gel film(凝胶膜) that can pull water from the air in even the driest climate. Just one kilogram of gel can absorb up to six liters of water in a dry climate. For those living in a climate with relative humidity(潮湿), one kilogram of gel can collect up to 13 liters of water a day. As the gel is so inexpensive and easy to make, it may offer a way of providing drinking water to countries with water shortages.
Previously, researchers have harvested fresh water from fog and dew, but that only serves areas with high humidity. Other attempts at pulling water from desert air consume lots of energy and do not produce much. In fact, this gel is a big improvement from previous water harvesting technologies. The maximum water harvested has been 5.87 liters in places with relative humidity. This new gel doubles this amount, uses no energy and is simple to operate and it can be molded into a shape or size that best suits the user.
“This new work is about practical solutions that people can use to get water in the hottest, driest places on Earth,” said Guihua Yu, professor at the Cockrell School of Engineering. “This could allow millions of people without consistent access to drinking water to have simple, water generating devices(取水装置)at home that they can easily operate.”
“This is not something you need an advanced degree to use,” the paper’s lead author, Youhong “Nancy” Guo said. “It’s straightforward enough that anyone can make it at home if they have the materials.” Scientists are planning on making a thicker gel that will increase the production, making this technology a practicable solution to drought.

A. It can increase the humidity of the air.
B. It can harvest drinking water from the air.
C. It has been widely applied in desert areas.
D. It costs lots of money and energy to produce.
9. What is Guihua Yu’s attitude towards the new water-harvesting method
A. Indifferent. B. Skeptical.
C. Disapproving. D. Hopeful.
10. What does the underlined word “straightforward” in last paragraph mean

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term “couch potato” first appeared in print in a December, 1979 edition of the Los Angeles Times. Since then, has become a familiar term for a person who spends a lot of time sitting, and little time exercising. Although there does not seem to be any particular reason why the term “couch potato” is used rather than “couch tomato” , a person may become a “couch potato” because living this way is said to make you round like a potato. The term is also said to have something to do with the high-calorie (卡路里) food like potato chips.
People now would say “couch potato” whenever they talk about overweight and obesity (肥胖). Indeed, “couch potatoes” are believed to have heart disease risks, which can be avoided by regular exercise.
It is true that technology and modern life in general make us sick, fat, lazy and physically/mentally soft. The more time people spend using technology, particularly televisions and computers, the less time they will spend being physically active.
“Couch potato” kids are a particular concern. Media reports repeatedly claim that children today are fatter than their elder generations, but less athletically skilled, less interested in physical activities and more addicted (上瘾的) to “junk food” and technology such as televisions and computers. The message is clear: today’s children are fat because they are lazy and eat too much. Moreover, because technology is becoming more sophisticated (复杂的), children are less able to resist (抵抗，忍得住) technology’s attraction, and are more likely to spend more time using technology, less time doing physical activities and，therefore, more likely to be fat.
12. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.
A. why “couch potato” is used as a term for a person
B. when “couch potato” is used as a term for a person
C. how “couch potato” is different from “couch tomato”
D. what kind of person looks like a potato
13. The development of technology also makes us sick because ________ by using technology.
A. we are more likely to have heart disease risks in modern life
B. we spend less time doing exercise
C. we needn’t do many things by ourselves any more
D. we spend all our time watching TV and playing computer games
14. It’s kids’ ________ that people are particularly concerned about.
A. food B. study
C. health D. hobby
15. According to the passage，the author may suggest that ________.
A. scientists should stop their technology research
B. parents should take better care of their children
C. kids should be stopped from using new technology
D. people should spend less time using technology
