neighbours who want to share their harvest.Especially with this years large crop,leaving a car unlocked in my neighbourhood is an invitation for someone to stuff it full of zucchini(西葫蘆).My sister-in-law,Sharon,recently had a good year for tomatoes.She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they began to feel their skin turn slightly red.Thats when she decided it was time to share her blessings.She started calling everyone she knew.When that failed,she began to ask everyone in the neighbourhood like a politician,eventually finding a neighbour delighted to have the tomatoes.“Feel free to take whatever you want.” Sharon told her.She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didnt go to waste.A few days later,Sharon answered the door.There was the neighbour,holding some bread.The neighbour smiled pleasantly,“I want to thank you for all of the tomatoes,and I have to admit that I took a few other things and hope you wouldnt mind.”Sharon couldnt think of anything else in her garden that had been worth harvesting and said so.“Oh,but you did,” the neighbour said.“You had some of the prettiest zucchini Ive ever seen.”Sharon was confused.Zucchini in her garden?They hadnt even planted any zucchini.But her neighbour insisted that there really were bright-green zucchini in Sharons garden.Sharons curiosity got the better of her and she had to go and see where the zucchini had grown.The two of them walked together into the backyard.When the neighbour pointed at the long green vegetables,Sharon smiled.“Well,actually,those are cucumbers that we never harvested,because they got too big,soft and bitter for eating or canning.”The neighbour looked at Sharon,shock written all over her face.Then,she smiled,and held out the bread that she had shared all over the neighbourhood.“I brought you a loaf of cucumber bread.I hope you like it.”1.Why does the author suggest that people in the neighbourhood should lock their cars?A.They might be stolen by thieves.B.They might be moved away by the police.C.Their neighbours might throw rubbish in them.D.Their neighbours might fill them with their harvest.2.How did those who received Sharons call react to the invitation to take her tomatoes?A.They refused to take it.B.They accepted it with pleasure.C.They promised to come when they were free.D.They recommended someone else who would like them.3.What did the neighbour do in Sharons garden?A.She harvested tomatoes only.B.She harvested zucchini by accident.C.She took some cucumbers mistakenly.D.She took something without Sharons permission.4.We can infer from the article that the neighbour s bread would taste . A.bitter but tastyB.strange and funnyC.hard and sourD.soft and sweetBJoseph Goldberger was a doctor for the United States Public Health Service and he was an advocate for scientific and social recognition of the links between poverty and disease.In 1914，Goldberger was asked by US Surgeon General Rupert Blue to study a skin disease that was killing thousands of people in the South.The disease was pellagra(糙皮病)Goldberger traveled to the state of Mississippi where many people suffered from pellagra.He studied the victims and their families.Most of the people lived a hard life.The doctor came to believe that the disease didn't pass on from one to another，but was instead related to food.He received permission from the state governor to test this idea at a prison.Prisoners were offered pardons if they took part.One group of prisoners received their usual foods，mostly corn products.A second group ate meat，fresh vegetables and drank milk.Members of the first group developed pellagra.The second group did not.But some medical researchers refused to accept Goldberger's idea.For the South，pellagra was more than simply a medical problem.There were other things，including Southern pride.So Goldberger had himself injected(注射)with blood from a person with pellagra.He also took liquid from the nose and throat of a pellagra patient and put them into his own nose and throat.He even swallowed pills that contained skin from pellagra patients.An assistant also took part in the experiments.So did Goldberger's wife.None of them got sick.Joseph Goldberger died of cancer in 1929.He was fifty­five years old.Several years later，researchers discovered the exact cause of pellagra：a lack of vitamin B3 known as niacin.1Who were easy targets of pellagra according to Goldberger?APeople in America.BPeople put into prison.CPeople having a poor diet.DPeople touching pellagra patients.2What did Goldberger want to prove by the experiments mentioned in Paragraph 4?APellagra wasn't so terrible.BPellagra didn't spread.CPellagra could be cured.DPellagra wasn't a medical problem.3Which words can be used to describe Goldberger?ADevoted and determined.BSelfless and friendly.CPatient and expert.DStubborn and enthusiastic.【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇記敘文。文章介紹了美國(guó)醫(yī)生Joseph Goldberger研究糙皮病的患病原因的過(guò)程。Joseph Goldberger醫(yī)生的認(rèn)真、犧牲精神令人感動(dòng)?！倦y句分析】The doctor came to believe that the disease didn't pass on from one to another，but was instead related to food.分析：本句是一個(gè)含有that引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句的主從復(fù)合句。that 從句中，but連接兩個(gè)并列的謂語(yǔ)。譯文：這位醫(yī)生漸漸相信這種病不是傳染性的，而是與食物有關(guān)。1C考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Most of the people lived a hard life.the disease didn't pass on from one to another，but was instead related to food”，再結(jié)合Goldberger在監(jiān)獄進(jìn)行的實(shí)驗(yàn)的內(nèi)容可知，在Joseph Goldberger看來(lái)，糙皮病和食物有關(guān)，而且患者大多生活條件差；再結(jié)合實(shí)驗(yàn)中提到的主要吃玉米制品的犯人最后患上了該病可知，不良的飲食容易導(dǎo)致人們患糙皮病。2B考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中提到的Goldberger認(rèn)為糙皮病不是傳染病以及第四段中提到的他為了證明自己的觀點(diǎn)而進(jìn)行的實(shí)驗(yàn)的內(nèi)容(將患糙皮病的人的血液注射到自己的體內(nèi)、將糙皮病病人的鼻腔和口腔中的液體放入自己的鼻腔和口腔以及吞咽含有糙皮病病人的皮膚組織的藥丸)和結(jié)果(他沒(méi)患病)可推知，Goldberger進(jìn)行實(shí)驗(yàn)是為了證明糙皮病不傳染。3A考查推理判斷。文中提到的Goldberger在監(jiān)獄及在他自己身上做實(shí)驗(yàn)的內(nèi)容表明他全心全意地投入到對(duì)糙皮病的研究中，有奉獻(xiàn)精神；盡管一些人不認(rèn)可Goldberger的觀點(diǎn)，但他仍堅(jiān)持自己的看法并堅(jiān)決地去證明自己的觀點(diǎn)是正確的，這體現(xiàn)出他意志堅(jiān)定。故選A。.完形填空Several

said可推斷,聽(tīng)到作者的問(wèn)題后朋友們都“沉默(silence)”了,陷入了沉思。4.A由上文的“I dont know,either.”及第三段中的Pam switched可推測(cè),帕姆“厭惡(hated)”自己的工作。5.B作者很確定快到生命盡頭的貝蒂對(duì)人為什么活著這一問(wèn)題已經(jīng)有了“答案(answer)”。6.B由下文的she shook her head可知,Bette的反應(yīng)與作者的推測(cè)相反。故選However。7.D由第一段中的writing a book可推測(cè),之后的兩年時(shí)間里,作者賣(mài)掉了自己寫(xiě)的“書(shū)(book)”。8.A由第二段中的“She was in a job she.”可推測(cè),帕姆換了“工作(jobs)”。9.A由下文的“She

obituary.”可知,貝蒂的兄弟打電話告訴作者貝蒂已經(jīng)“去世了(passed away)”。16.C由下文的“It was the story of a woman who lived.what life threw at her,she lived.”可推測(cè),作者給貝蒂寫(xiě)的訃告并不是一個(gè)“成就(achievements)”清單,而是一個(gè)女人的故事。17.C由上文介紹的貝蒂努力生活、與癌癥斗爭(zhēng)的故事可推斷,“不管(Regardless of)”生活給了她什么,貝蒂都努力活著。18.D通過(guò)給貝蒂寫(xiě)訃告,作者“意識(shí)到(realized)”貝蒂的去世讓自己認(rèn)識(shí)到的道理。19.B參照第20題解析。20.A由上文的“She defined her purpose in life by simply living her life.”可推斷,作者意識(shí)到人活著唯一“重要(matters)”的事情就是在時(shí)間的流逝中過(guò)好自己的“生活(life)”。.短文改錯(cuò)Several days ago,I was out with my friends at local fast food restaurant.The food was tasted good and we had fun
