He organizes a humanitarian trip to India to the Sheela Bal Bhavan orphanage and says the three biggest fears families have are health，security and contact.【文章大意】本文是一篇記敘文。年僅16歲的高中女孩Alexia和她的同學(xué)及老師一起飛往偏遠(yuǎn)的發(fā)展中國(guó)家參加志愿者活動(dòng)?；貋?lái)后，她的母親發(fā)現(xiàn)她成熟且獨(dú)立了。Montreal中學(xué)的這項(xiàng)志愿者活動(dòng)促進(jìn)了學(xué)生的成長(zhǎng)和發(fā)展。1When hearing the news that her daughter would go on a school trip to Ecuador，Armato was Aproud and happyBsupportive but concernedCfearful and nervousDexcited but puzzledB解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句“She was happy that her daughter could experience something she never did as a teen but was fearful of letting her travel to such a remote part of the world.”可知，Armato對(duì)于她的女兒去Ecuador一事感到高興，因?yàn)榕畠耗芙?jīng)歷到她不曾經(jīng)歷的東西，所以她支持她的女兒；但是讓一個(gè)女孩去這么遙遠(yuǎn)的地方她又有點(diǎn)擔(dān)心。故B項(xiàng)正確。2The underlined phrase“from scratch”in Paragraph 4 probably means“ ”Ahaving great help Busing high technologyCending up in failure Dstarting from the beginningD解析：詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫線詞后面的內(nèi)容“with no mechanical cement mixers”以及下一句“They used their hands，shovels and basic tools.”并結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知，他們建造了一所只有一間房間的學(xué)校，沒(méi)有使用機(jī)械水泥攪拌機(jī)，只是用他們的雙手、鐵鏟和最基本的工具。結(jié)合四個(gè)選項(xiàng)可知，畫線詞意為“從頭開始”。故D項(xiàng)正確。3According to Alexia，people living in poor conditions are Aunfortunate and sadBcheerful and sociableCmiserable and strangeDabnormal but happyB解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段Alexia所講的內(nèi)容中的“They live in very poor conditions but theyre so happy and outgoing.”可知，雖然他們的生活條件很艱苦，但是他們開心且友好。故B項(xiàng)正確。4What would be the best title for the text?AVolunteering Helps Students Grow and DevelopBSchool Trips Make Parents Worried about Their ChildrenCEcuador is the Most Attractive Travel Destination in the WorldDBrave Alexia Dreams to Work in Ecuador One DayA解析：標(biāo)題概括題。根據(jù)第三段第一句“Now that Alexia was home，Armato said she saw her daughters new maturity，greater confidence and independence.”及倒數(shù)第二段“Every year，groups of students at Montreal High School like Alexia pack their bags and fly off with classmates and teachers to developing countries where they volunteer for a variety of projects.”可知，每年Montreal高中都有很多學(xué)生志愿去發(fā)展中國(guó)家?guī)椭溟_展項(xiàng)目，通過(guò)這個(gè)志愿活動(dòng)，他們得到了成長(zhǎng)和發(fā)展。故A項(xiàng)最能概括本文的主旨，適合做標(biāo)題；B項(xiàng)僅說(shuō)明了文章的一個(gè)方面，不能全面地概括文意；C、D兩項(xiàng)與文章無(wú)關(guān)。故A項(xiàng)正確。B(2016太原高三模擬)The earth is dying before us yet we sit and watch.If the TV or the game system breaks，we run off to the stores to get it fixed immediately no matter what the cost.Why arent we willing to fix our earth?

Where shall we continue to live，until the end of time?The earth is our home and cannot be replaced.We must take care of it.We have come up with so much technology that limits us instead of helping us.Take that game system we run to repair.What does it do? It occupies kids time！The earth has already given kids plenty of entertainment in the forms of fields and hills，forests and plains，water and land.However，instead of using what the earth has given us，and helping kids by giving them exercise as they run around，we decide to ruin kids minds with game systems that glue them to the screen for hours，and make them ignore their homework and chores.We have polluted this earth by making these things which do not even help us in any way!We have already messed up this world，we have ruined the air，water，and animals that it has so willingly provided for us.We need to stop this destruction of life and bring back the world we had before.It will not be easy，but everybody can help！What about something as simple as turning the lights off when you leave a room? Recycling what can be recycled? Picking up litter? Donating money to an environmental organization? None of these things are very hard.We cant just always say，“Oh，the earth is a mess.Ah，well，those big companies that are polluting so much can stop and fix it.”Instead，we need to help out.Its not only those big companies；its everyday things that we do too that are ruining the earth.So stop and think about what you can do to make a difference to our world!【文章大意】本文是一篇議論文。地球是人類賴以生存的家園，作者呼吁人們珍惜資源，愛(ài)護(hù)環(huán)境，保護(hù)地球。5Why does the author mention televisions and game systems in Paragraph 1?ATo make people better aware of the urgency to the protection of the earth.BTo expose the great harm done to the earth by too much technology waste.CTo show the relationship between overuse of those things with early death.DTo remind people to spend less on them and use the saved money in a wiser way.A解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段最后兩句“Are our televisions and game systems more important to us than where we live?
