fchemicalrecyclingovercomesthisproblem.”可知,现在大多数塑料都是通过机械方法回收的,在将它们转变为液体之前,先制成新的东西。问题是,熔化塑料会改变其性能并降低质量。化学回收的方法克服了这个问题。因此判断出科学家通过保留塑料的原始属性的方法回收利用塑料废物。故选C。【3题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Ourmethodofchemicalrecyclingcouldallowcarbontoberecycledendlesslyratherthandiggingmoreupfromthegroundintheformoffossilfuels,orlettingitintotheatmosphereasagreenhousegas.”可知,我们的化学回收方法可以使碳无止境地得到回收,而不是从地下挖掘更多的矿物燃料或者将其作为温室气体排放到大气中。因此我们可以从PaulMcKeown博士的讲话中判断出化学回收方法对环境是有好处的。故选D。【4题详解】推理判断题。文章讲述了当前塑料回收方法的问题之一是最终会得到质量比原来低的劣质塑料。英国科学家已经开发出一种新的化学回收方法,可以用来制造质量与原始塑料相同的新塑料,这对环境是有好处的。由此判断出,我们可以在网站的技术与科学栏目找到这篇文章。故选B。BStillinshock!Imovedaroundthehousepurposelesslytryingtodecidewhattoputintothesuitcases(行李箱).Earlierthatevening,I’dreceivedacalltellingmethatmybrotherwaskilledinacarcrash.“Comeassoonasyoucan.”criedmymother.Iwantedtohurrytoheratonce.Butmyhusband,Larry,andIwerepackingtomovefromNewYorktoSeattle.Ourhousewasintotalmess.Supperdishessatonthekitchentable.Toyslayeverywhere.Ipurposelesslypickedthingsupandputthemdown.Mother’scryingwentthroughmyheadagainandagain.Larrycalledsomefriendstotellthemwhathadhappened.Someoneaskedtospeaktome.“Ifthere’sanythingIcando,letmeknow.”ButIdidn’tknowwhattoaskfor.Suddenly,thedoorbellrang.ItwasEmerson.HeandhiswifeDonnalivedintheblocknearby.“I’vecometocleanyourshoes,”hesaid.Iaskedhimtorepeat.“Donnahadtostaywiththebaby,”hesaid,“butwewanttohelpyou.Irememberwhenmyfatherdied,ittookmehourstocleanourshoesforthefuneral(葬礼).Givemeallyourshoes.”Igatheredallourdirtyshoestothekitchen.Emersongottoworkrightaway.Watchinghimdevotinghimselftoonetaskhelpedmepullmyownthoughtsintoorder.Itoldmyselftowashclothesfirst.Then,LarryandIbathedthechildrenandputthemtobed.Onejobafteranother.Whenwereturnedtoclearthedishes,Emersonhadleft.Allourshoesstoodinalineagainstthewall,clean,shining.Icouldn'thelpcrying.Earlynextmorning,weleftfortheairportwithallthejobsdone.NowwheneverIhearofafriendwho'slostalovedone,Inolongercallwiththepoliteoffer,“Ifthere’sanythingIcando…”InsteadItrytothinkofonespecifictaskthatsuitsthatman'sneed,liketakingthedogtotheboardingkennel,orhouse-sittingduringthefuneral.Ifthepersonasks,“HowdidyouknowIneededthatone?”Ireply,“Becauseamanoncecleanedmyshoes.”5.Thewriterdidn’tknowwhattoputintothesuitcasesbecause_____.A.shecouldn’tdoitonherownB.shewastoosadtodoanythingC.shewantedtotakeeverythingtoSeattleD.shewasnotgoodathousework6.Here'satimelineofwhathappenedinthestory.Thewriter’sbrotherwaskilledinacarcrash→_____→Thewriterwashedtheclothes.→Theyleftfortheairport.Whichoftheeventsshouldgointheemptyboxabove?A.Emersoncametocleantheshoes.B.Thecouplebathedthechildren.C.Theyclearedthesupperdishes.D.Thewriterfoundtheshoescleaned.7.Ifoneofherfriendshaslostalovedone,whatwillthewriterprobablyNOTdo?A.Callherfriendtoaskwhatshecando.B.Lookafterherfriend’syoungchildren.C.Takeherfriend'sdogtotheboardingkennel.D.Offerherfriendhouse-sittingduringthefuneral.8.Whichsentencesbestexpressesthethemeofthisstory?A.Oneperson'slossisanother'sgain.B.Anactofkindnessisoftenrewarded.C.Anearneighbourisbetterthanabrotherfaroff.D.Dosomethingspecifictohelpthoseinneed.【答案】5.B6.A7.A8.D【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章作者讲述了自己和爱人在正值搬家的时候听到哥哥在一起车祸中丧生的噩耗而手足无措,有的人打电话来说"有任何需要做的请说",但有个叫艾默生的过来把作者家里所有的脏鞋都洗干净了,看着艾默生认真洗鞋的情形,让作者原来的手足无措变得平静有序起来。现在作者也效仿艾默生,如果听到某人失去了爱的人,不会只是礼貌的问候而是去为这个人做一件特别而正是他需要的事。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据第一自然段“Earlierthatevening,I’dreceivedacalltellingmethatmybrotherwaskilledinacarcrash.(那天晚上早些时候,我接到一个电话,说我哥哥在车祸中丧生)”以及第二自然段最后一句话“Mother’scryingwentthroughmyheadagainandagain(母亲的哭声一次又一次地在我的脑海里回荡)”可知,哥哥在车祸中意外去世让全家人都很悲伤,作者的脑海里全是妈妈悲伤哭泣的声音。由此推断出作者太过于悲伤,从而什么事都做不了。故此题选B。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据第八自然段“Igatheredallourdirtyshoestothekitchen.Emersongottoworkrightaway.Watchinghimdevotinghimselftoonetaskhelpedmepullmyownthoughtsintoorder.Itoldmyselftowashclothesfirst.(我把我们所有的脏鞋都收拾到厨房去了。Emerson马上就开始清洗鞋。看着他全神贯注于一项任务,我把自己的想法理顺了。我告诉自己先洗衣服)”可知,Emerson过来清洗鞋子后作者开始洗衣服,故此题选A。【7题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一自然段“NowwheneverIhearofafriendwho’slostalovedone,Inolongercallwiththepoliteoffer(现在,每当我听到一个朋友失去了心爱的人,我不再礼貌地打电话)”可知,当朋友失去心爱的人之后,作者不会再打电话过去询问。故此题选A。【8题详解】推理判断题。通读全文,特别是最后一段的“InsteadItrytothinkofonespecifictaskthatsuitsthatman'sneed(相反,我尽力去想一件特别而又是那人需要的事情,)”可知,作者通过自己的经历想要表达的是:当别人遇到困难时,应尽力做一些具体的事情帮助他们,故选D。CAlthoughnewlawshavebeenpassedinsomeAmericanstatestocutdownondistracted(分心的)driving,manyaccidentsanddeathswerestillrelatedwithit,especiallyusingcellphoneswhiledriving.RecentlytheObamaadministrationisconsideringdisablingcellphonesincars,aimingtocutdowncell-phone-relatedroaddeaths.TransportationSecretaryRayLaHood,thenation’santi-distracted-drivingsupporter,saidinaninterviewonNovember18thatfederalofficialsarelookingattechnologytodisablecellphonesinsidecars.“Ithinkitwillbedone,”LaHoodsaid.IthinkthetechnologyisthereandIthinkyou’regoingtoseethetechnologybecomeadaptableinautomobilestodisablethesecellphones.Weneedtodoalotmoreifweweregoingtosavelives.”AlsoonThursday,thetransportationgovernmentstartedanew“FacesofDistractedDriving”videocampaignthatfeatures(以…为特征)peoplewhohavebeenkilledorlosttheirlovedonesbecauseofinattentivedrivers.Thevideofeaturesheartbreakingstoriesof
