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（干细胞）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(捐献者) 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 Paragraph
不积跬步无以至千里，不积小流无以成江海！

【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在一次运送造血干细胞途中的一段经历，表现了 人们之
间的友爱。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段第三句 “from the time the stem cells are harvested from
a donor to the time they can be implanted in the patient” 可以推测，“我”负责的
时间段是当干细胞从捐献者身体里取出之后到送到患者那里 ，可知“我”的身份像一个投递
员（delivery man）。A项，意为“供应商”，C项，意为 “收集者”，D项，意为“药物医生”，
均不符合文意。故正确★★答案★★为B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句 “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小时来用“我”的小箱子携带干细胞因为“我”有两个冰袋，并且能持 续制冷42小时。
超过了42小时，冰袋就不会再持续维持低温了。故正确★★答案★★为D。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据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”说了“我”的处境 以

World Book Day falls on April 23rd every year，but do you know that it is also
Shakespeare Day? Everybody may have heard of Shakespeare，but do you know how many
plays he wrote?
Shakespeare’s plays have three kinds：tragedies，comedies and histories. His
most famous play is the tragic story of Romeo and Juliet，which deals with two young
lovers who are not allowed to marry by their parents. Other tragedies include Hamlet，
Othello，and Macbeth.
Shakespeare’s comedies include Much Ado About Nothing ,A Midsummer Night’s
Dream and Twelfth Night. Twelfth Night is a play about unclear identities. Two twins
are shipwrecked (遭海难)and the sister，Viola，dresses up as her brother，Sebastian，
who she thinks is dead. It’s funny，because the brother reappears and there’s a
big love problem going on：Viola is in love with the Duke，who is in love with Olivia，
who falls in love with Sebastian except that she doesn’t realize that Sebastian is
actually Viola dressed up！Everybody falls in love with the wrong person，but it is
all made right in the end.
Some of his history plays，such as Antony and Cleopatra，Richard III and Henry
V, are based on the lives of real historical people. In Antony and Cleopatra，Cleopatra
becomes Antony’s girlfriend and Antony becomes so crazy about her that he loses
control of the army. Cleopatra kills herself in the end and Antony kills himself too.
Shakespeare’s plays can he very difficult sometimes. Some of the themes they
deal with are heavy，so they almost always include a lighter subplot with characters
that are not so important. They are often used in tragedies to lighten the mood of
the play and to keep the audience interested in the main plot.
4. Which of the following plays is best－known to people?
A. Twelfth Night.
C. Romeo and Juliet.
B. Antony and Cleopatra.
D. Much Ado About Nothing.
5. Which is a comedy character according to the text?
A. Othello. B. Sebastian.
不积跬步无以至千里，不积小流无以成江海！
C. Antony. D. Hamlet.
6. What can we know about Shakespeare’s history plays?
A. Some of them are developed from real historical people.
B. There are only three famous history plays.
C. They are more difficult than tragedies and comedies.
D. Real historical events can he found in every history play.
7. What is the purpose of the subplot in Shakespeare’s plays?
A. To lead the development of the main plot.
B. To help the audience understand the plays.
C. To make the difficult plot of the plays simple.
D. To relax the audience and make them follow the main theme.
【★★答案★★】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】

C
Are your eyes irritated, dry, watery, blurry, seeing double or sensitive to light,
and do your back and neck ache? If so, you are likely one of many people today who
suffer from digital eyestrain, also called computer-vision syndrome.
Eyestrain is often related to the amount of exposure to screens, the distance from
eyes to screens and the use of multiple screens simultaneously. However, studies have
also shown that the blue light produced by digital devices today reaches further into
the eyes than other kinds of light. This light actually assists attention during the
day but can result in interrupted sleep patterns at night.
Scientists have also said that eyestrain is not a necessary evil, even in a modern
world that revolves around technology. Changing some simple details about your
relative position to screens, such as staying about 60 centimeters away, will help.
Also, avoid overhead and other direct sources of light, and use shaded lamps and window
blinds while looking at digital devices instead.
Beyond the way that relates to digital screens, there are also ways to change how
you view screens that are helpful in combating eyestrain. To begin with, your computer
screen should be high-resolution(高清的), at least 50 centimeters wide diagonally
and may require a screen filter to decrease reflections. Also, be aware that “computer
glasses”, which cut down glare and blue light, are available and those contact lenses
can increase the risk of eyestrain.
Besides, to reduce your risk for computer-vision syndrome and neck, back and
shoulder pain, take frequent breaks during your computer workday. Many workers take
only two 15-minute breaks from their computer throughout their day. According to a
recent study, discomfort and eyestrain are significantly reduced when computer
workers take four additional five-minute “mini-breaks” throughout their workday.
And these additional breaks don’t reduce the workers’ productivity.
Finally, many of us fall into bad habits while using digital screens that only
worsen the effects of eyestrain. While viewing digital screens, many people blink
one third less often than they usually do. Place a reminder on your computer to
“blink” so that your eyes don’t dry out. Also, rest your eyes’ focusing muscles
不积跬步无以至千里，不积小流无以成江海！
by using the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, focus on something 20 feet away for
20 seconds.
8. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The dangers of eyestrain.
C. The symptoms of eyestrain.
B. The causes of eyestrain.
D. The effects of eyestrain.
9. Which of the following ways might not be helpful in relieving eyestrain?
A. Employing blue light.
C. Adjusting your position.
B. Breaking bad habits.
D. Changing your hardware.
10. It can be inferred from the passage that_______ .
A. overhead lights make the eyes less tired
B. taking frequent breaks reduces eyestrain
C. people tend to blink more often at a computer
D. technology and eyestrain unavoidably go hand in hand
11. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A. B.
C. D.
【★★答案★★】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。“电脑视 觉综合症”是眼睛疲劳的原因。文章给出了几条建议来对抗视
疲劳。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段第一句Eyestrain is often related to the amount of exposure to
screens, the distance from eyes to screens and the use of multiple screens
simultaneously.“眼睛疲劳通常与接触屏幕的次 数、眼睛与屏幕的距离以及同时使用多个屏
幕有关。”可知，第二段讲述眼睛疲劳的原因。故选B。
不积跬步无以至千里，不积小流无以成江海！
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中However, studies have also shown that the blue light produced
by digital devices today reaches further into the eyes than other kinds of light.“然
而，研究也表明，如今数字设备产生的蓝光比其他种 类的光更能穿透眼睛。”可知，“采用
蓝光”对缓解眼睛疲劳没有帮助。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中to reduce your risk for computer-vision syndrome and neck,
back and shoulder pain, take frequent breaks during your computer ing
to a recent study, discomfort and eyestrain are significantly reduced when computer
workers take four additional five-minute “mini-breaks” throughout their workday.
“为了降低患电脑视觉综合症和颈部、背部和肩膀疼痛的风险，在电脑工作的时候要 经常休
息。休息四次每次五分钟能减缓眼睛疲劳”可知，经常休息可以减轻眼睛疲劳。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。第一段中If so, you are likely one of many people today who suffer from
digital eyestrain, also called computer-vision syndrome.“如果是这样的话，你可能
是当今许多患有数码眼疲劳症的人中的一员，这也被称为 电脑视觉综合症。”引出文章主题；
第二段第一句Eyestrain is often related to the amount of exposure to screens, the
distance from eyes to screens and the use of multiple screens simultaneously.“眼
睛疲劳通常与接触屏幕的次 数、眼睛与屏幕的距离以及同时使用多个屏幕有关。”文章第一
段介绍“电脑视觉综合症”；第二段讲述 眼睛疲劳的原因；文章的三、四、五、六段在讲述
如何减少眼睛疲劳。由此推知正确的文章结构是A项。
【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得
到文 章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是
某几句话，所以， 推理题的★★答案★★只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的★★答案
★★：即对原文某一句话或某几 句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含
infer,suggest,imply,c onclude indicate等标志性词语。本题第3小题，根据第五段中to
reduce your risk for computer-vision syndrome and neck, back and shoulder pain, take
frequent breaks during your computer ing to a recent study, discomfort
and eyestrain are significantly reduced when computer workers take four additional
five-minute “mini-breaks” throughout their workday.“为了降低患电脑视觉综合症和
不积跬步无以至千里，不积小流无以成江海！
颈部、背部和肩膀疼痛的风险，在电脑工作的时候要经常休息。休息四次每次五分钟能减缓
眼睛疲劳” 可知，经常休息可以减轻眼睛疲劳。故选B。

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you
are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that
your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large
areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and
huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses （球场） in good condition. This
causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and
Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that
you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair
of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and
free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good
for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make
you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment- friendly
equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should
be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and
modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside
or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership.
And best of all, it’s free.
12. Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?
A. Cycling around a lake.
B. Motor racing in the desert.
C. Playing basketball in a gym.
D. Swimming in a sports center.
13. What do we know about golf from the passage?
不积跬步无以至千里，不积小流无以成江海！
A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain.
B. It causes water shortages around the world.
C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.
D. It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.
14. The author uses power walking as an example mainly because _________.
A. it is an outdoor sport
B. it improves our health
C. it uses fewer resources
D. it is recommended by experts
15. The author writes the passage to _________.
A. show us the function of major sports
B. encourage us to go in for green sports
C. discuss the major influence of popular sports
D. introduce different types of environment-friendly sports
【★★答案★★】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。运动可以让人保持健康也可以让人们接近大自然。然而不管你是在 大山里，
还是草地上运动，都应该注意人们对运动的选择都可能会影响到地球的环境。在文章中作者鼓励人们要多进行环保的、不消耗自然资源的运动，比如疾走锻炼或者自行车运动等。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one
of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except
a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse.
可知，有许多环保运动。步行是你今天可以做的 事情之一。除了一双好鞋子，你不需要任何
特殊的设备；你不必担心它需要资源和多花钱。所以A选项“ 骑自行车环湖”不需要专门的
设备和场地，也不污染环境。故判断出作者支持骑自行车环湖。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside,
but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy
are used to keep its courses （球场） in good condition. This causes major environmental
不积跬步无以至千里，不积小流无以成江海！
effects.可知，高尔夫不仅消耗大面积 的农村土地，还会消耗大量的水。此外，各种各样的
化学物质和大量的能量被用来维持球场的状况良好。 这造成了重大的环境影响。所以高尔夫
球场需要水和电来保持球场的绿色。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one
of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except
a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse.
可知，有许多环保运动。步行是你今天可以做的 事情之一。除了一双好鞋子，你不需要任何
特殊的设备；你不必担心它需要资源和多花钱。所以作者以竞 走为例，主要是因为竞走消耗
的资源较少。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using
environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But
the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional
health clubs and modern sports cen ters.可知，无论你从事什么运动，你都可以通过使用
环保设备和购买由回收材料制成的产品来让它 更环保。但最终目标应该是“绿色健身”。它
们是传统健身俱乐部和现代体育中心的更好的替代品。所以 判断出，作者写短文的目的是鼓
励我们从事绿色运动。故选B项。
