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 helpBusing high technologyCending up in failureDstarting from the beginningD解析：詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫(huà)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(huà)線詞意為“從頭開(kāi)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(kāi)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_(kāi)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河北名校聯(lián)盟監(jiān)測(cè))Youve probably heard about sports coaches, fitness coaches, voice and music teachers, career counselors, psychiatrists(精神科醫(yī)師) and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with daily life.But theres a rapidly growing kind of professionals who do a little bit of everything. She or he is called a“l(fā)ife coach”. People who are at the crossroads in their life, and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost, are turning to them for help.The idea that one persons success story can change other peoples life for the better goes back at least to the 1930s. Dale Carnegies famous selfimprovement program“How to Win Friends and Influence People”came along soon thereafter.But this new style of life coaches includes more than enthusiastic speakers or writers. They use their own experiences in business, sports, military service, or psychotherapy(心理療法) to help others make critical life decisions. They often give their approaches a slogan, such as“energy coaching”“fearless living”or“working yourself happy”Dave Lakhani in Boise, Idaho, for instance, works with salespeople to develop what he calls a “road map”. He says an ongoing relationship with a coach is like having a personal fitness trainer for ones career and life outside work.Lakhanis Bold Approach coaching firm also donates some of its time to help people who are anything but successfulincluding battered women and struggling single mothers.But others in the socalled“helpful professions”are not thrilled about the lifecoaching movement. They say that anyone, trained or untrained, can call himself or herself a life coach, and these slick(華而不實(shí)的) promoters who mess with peoples life can do more harm than good.【文章大意】當(dāng)你處于人生的重要時(shí)刻時(shí)， 當(dāng)你想讓公司里某些職員的事業(yè)得以提升時(shí)， 你可以求助于人生教練， 他們能幫助你做出人生中的重大決定。 5Which of the following is the best title for the passage?AWorking Yourself HappyBLife Coaches Help with Tough DecisionsCHow to Cope with Daily Life with Life CoachesDThe Lifecoaching MovementB解析： 標(biāo)題歸納題。 本文主要介紹了人生教練正成為受人們歡迎的專業(yè)人才， 他們能幫助那些面臨人生重大抉擇的人們做出決定。 B項(xiàng)最具有概括性。 6The last paragraph is mainly about_Athe introductions of life coachesBthe disagreements about life coachesCthe effects of life coachesDthe experiences of life coachesB解析： 段落大意題。 根據(jù)最后一段中的“They say.can do more harm than good.”可知， 一些人對(duì)人生教練持否定的態(tài)度， 認(rèn)為人生教練可能給人們的生活帶來(lái)的傷害大于益處， 因此選擇B項(xiàng)。 7What is the authors attitude towards life coaches?ACautious.BApproving.CCasual.
