短文主要講了我們認為一日三餐是理所當然的,但是專家們認為糧食危機即將到來。世界人口的增長迫切需要糧食。世界人口在增加,資源正在減少,食品價格在上漲。因此,我們需要重新思考我們每天吃的東西。

1句意:我們認為一日三餐是理所當然的,但是專家們認為糧食危機即將到來。

考查連詞,A. And 和;B. But但是;C. Or或者;D. Until直到。前后句是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,but 意為“但是”,表轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。此處位于句首,首字母大寫。故 But 符合題意。故正確答案為B。

2句意:危機將會使我們改變對食物的看法。

考查使役動詞,change 意為“改變”。make sb. do sth. 為固定搭配,意為“使某人做某事”,故此處使用動詞原形。因此 change 符合題意。故正確答案為A。

3句意:由于人口增長,食物需求量很大。

考查連詞,A. since自從;B. because 因為,后跟完整的句子;C. because of因為,后跟短語或名詞等;D. as當,作為。because of 意為“由于,因為”,表原因,符合題意。故正確答案為C。

5句意:那么,一個饑餓擁擠的世界能做些什么呢?

考查情態(tài)動詞,A. may 可能;B. should應(yīng)該;C. must一定,必須;D. can能夠,結(jié)合句意,這里是應(yīng)該是表推測,can 更符合,故正確答案為D。

6句意:一個建議是少吃肉。

考查形容詞,A. less更少;B. more更多;C. much多;D. little少,根據(jù)“Meat uses more natural resources than grains. 肉類比谷物使用更多的自然資源!彼詰(yīng)該是建議少吃肉,故正確答案為A。

7句意:少吃一點肉可以給農(nóng)業(yè)耕作多提供一些土地,并節(jié)約用水。

考查不定式,觀察句子,這里已經(jīng)有謂語動詞,那么需要非謂語,結(jié)合句意這里應(yīng)該需要動詞不定式表目的,provide 意為“提供”,故正確答案為B。

8句意:它還需要比蔬菜多510倍的水。

考查介詞,A. of…的;B. for為了;C. among三者或者三者以上之間 ;D. between兩者之間,這里用的是“between…and….”,故正確答案為D。

9句意:所以,少吃肉會為農(nóng)業(yè)提供更多的土地,而且會節(jié)約用水。

考查動名詞,觀察句子這里是說為農(nóng)業(yè)提供種植的土地,far作動詞表示從事種植,用在介詞for后,應(yīng)該用V.ing形式,故正確答案為A。

10句意:這可不容易。

考查形容詞,A. easily容易地;B. easier更容易的;C. easy容易的;D. easiest最容易的,觀察句子,這里沒有比較,并且是作表語,故正確答案為C

12句意:到2050年,這一數(shù)字將再翻一番。

考查代詞,A. Them他們,賓格;B. They他們,主格;C. Their他們的,后跟名詞;D. Theirs他們的,相當于their+n.。觀察句子這里做主語,they指代上文的數(shù)據(jù),故正確答案為B。

13句意:不斷增長的肉類需求將繼續(xù)給自然資源帶來壓力。

考查動詞時態(tài),A. will continue一般將來時;B. continued一般過去時;C. continue一般現(xiàn)在時;D. have continued現(xiàn)在完成時,結(jié)合句意,這里應(yīng)該用一般將來時,故正確答案為A

15句意:對于肉食愛好者來說,我們不需要完全放棄肉食。

考查詞匯辨析,結(jié)合下文 But we need to eat more grains and less meat 可知,我們需要多吃谷物少吃肉。因此本句應(yīng)表達對于喜歡吃肉的人來說,不必完全放棄吃肉,只是要少吃一些。completely 意為“完全地,徹底地”,副詞,修飾 give up,符合題意。故正確答案為B

【題目】 In northern Italy, there is a city that everybody should visit at least once. The name of that city is Venice, and it is different from every other city in the world.

Venice is a group of 118 small islands. The islands are c1 to each other by bridges. Venice is unique because it doesn't have any streets at all. In fact, Venice doesn't even have any cars or buses. Instead of streets, Venice has canals. Instead of driving in cars, the people ride in boats.

Because Venice doesn't have any cars, the feeling there is very different. You don't need to worry about traffic, and you don't hear engines or honking horns. Plus, since there are no cars, there is very little p2.

Venice has changed very l3 in the last 600 years. A lot of visitors who go there feel like they are entering the past. When you see the old churches, the silent boats and the stone bridges, you will probably have that feeling y4.

Many of the buildings in Venice are from the Renaissance. The Renaissance was a time w5 there are many artists, writers and poets all over Europe. Some of the world's best art was made during the Renaissance. You can see that art when you look at the city's buildings.

One of Venice's most famous spots is St. Mark's Square. This square has three things to see. The first is St. Mark's Basilica. This is the most famous church in Venice, and it's more than 1,000 years old. Doge's Palace is about 600 years old. Today it's a museum, and it's one of Venice's top a6. On the north side of the square is 500-year-old building called the Clock Tower. It was built to show visitors the wealth of Venice.

Venice is like no other city in the world. It's a l7 museum. And visiting it is an experience that you will never forget.

【題目】 Nearly 50% of all workers in the United States have jobs they aren’t happy with. Don’t let this happen to you! If you want to find the right job, don’t rush to look through the ads in the newspaper. Instead, sit down and think about yourself. What kind of person are you? What makes you happy?

According to John Holland who studies personalities, there are six types. Nobody is just one personality type, but most people are mainly one type. For each type, there are certain jobs that might be right and others that are probably wrong.

Six Types of Personalities

★The Realistic type is practical and likes working with machines and tools.

★The Investigative(研究的) type is interested in all the new things and likes to learn, study situations, and solve problems.

★The Artistic type is imaginative and likes to express himself or herself by creating.

★The Social type is friendly and likes helping or training other people.

★The Enterprising(有進取心的) type is outgoing and likes to lead other people.

★The Conventional(傳統(tǒng)的) type is careful and likes to follow routines and details.

Considering your personality type can help you make the right job decision. Liz was one of the people who were not sure about their jobs. She knew she wanted to do something for children, so she thought she could help children as a school counselor(顧問) or a lawyer. She took counseling and law courses—but hated them. After talking to a career counselor, she found that these jobs didn’t suit her. She is more interested in films, so she studied film and she now produces children’s TV shows—and loves it.

1What is the author’s advice for looking for the right job?

A.Ask your parents or friends for help or advice.

B.Think about what you can do for your family.

C.Look through the ads in the newspapers at once.

D.Think about what kind of person you are at first.

2If Jack is a policeman and he likes to find out what happens actually, what type of personality is he?

A.The Social type.B.The Investigative type.

C.The Enterprising type.D.The Conventional type.

3The writer organizes the last paragraph by_____________ .

A.giving examplesB.using numbers

C.listing opinionsD.telling a story

4Which part of the magazine is the passage most probably from?

A.Advertisement part.B.The job planning part.

C.Chicken soup part.D.Game and puzzle part.
