It was a morning in January. The jet stream (急流)had dipped down, causing the Arctic cold to reach the mountains of my home. It was only 2 degrees outside, but the cold wind made it feel like it was 15 below zero. Still, I was kneeling in the snow alongside my house trying to open a tiny door, so I eoukl get in. 1 had forgotten to leave my water dripping the night before and now my water pipes were frozen and my faucets(水龙头)were dry.
The wind cut into me like a knife while I struggled to get two electric heaters in place around the section of frozen pipes. The waterlines were buried except for a small piece that connected up to my house. I put a heater on each side of it, ran the extension cords(软线)into my house and plugged them in. Both heaters roared to life and started blowing hot air on the frozen water pipes. My fingers had already started to go numb, so I stayed inside to wait. I could only hope that this bit of warmth could get my water flowing again. Finally, after twenty minutes, the water started flowing through my faucets again. I went back outside into the biller cold and gathered my heaters up. I looked at the weak January sun shining on the frozen snow and smiled. Then I sent a joy filled with "Thank you" heavenward and returned inside to make myself a hot breakfast.
Sometimes the coldness of this life can get to us as well. It can make our hearts feel icy and frozen. It can keep our kindness and love from flowing out to others. Sometimes, though, all we need is a bit of warmth to get us going again. It can be a simple smile, a kind word, a heart-felt hug, a morning sunrise, a bird's song or any gentle reminder of just how much God loves us. Let us all be grateful for those bits of warmth that gel us going again. And let us all try to be that bit of wannth for others every chance we get.

America’s latest superhero Austin Perine, who calls himself President Austin, is now taking the country by storm. But he is not a typical superhero. Two things set him apart: He doesn’t fight human enemies, but hunger and homelessness. Also, he’s only four years old.
Our superhero’s origin story started from the day when TJ Perine, his father, took Austin to the Firehouse Ministries, a local shelter that provides housing, food and other services for the homeless. As they drove by the building, they saw a group of 25 homeless men standing on the street corner. That day, Austin used his allowance to buy each man a sandwich and handed the food out himself with his slogan, “Don’t forget to show love!”
After he returned every week for five weeks in a row, word of Austin’s kindness spread through social media. Austin and TJ could feed 25 to 50 people at a time before, and now, thanks to community support, they can feed 800 to 2,000 people.
But Austin isn’t merely filling stomachs. He has been improving the lives of the homeless people he meets. On that first trip to Firehouse Ministries, TJ and Austin talked to a poor man named Raymont. The respect Austin showed for him touched 41-year-old Raymont, who regained his confidence in life and finally found a job with the help of TJ. All that was made possible because a little boy took the time to care.
Austin’s passion has become his family’s calling. After raising money through a GoFundMe page, Audrey, TJ’s mother established the nonprofit Show Love Foundation, dedicated to fighting homelessness. She now serves as president, and TJ oversees public relations for the foundation full time. They offer medical and mental health care as preventive steps against homelessness.
As for President Austin, he continues to give out food, smiles, and his inspirational message of love. “It makes me feel like I’m saving the day,” he said proudly.
8. Why has Austin become well-known to the entire country
A. He has super power to fill the stomachs of the homeless.
B. He fights hunger and homelessness at such a young age.
C. He has removed the poverty of the local community.
D. He has chosen an impressive and unique name.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “dedicated” in Paragraph 5
A. Exposed. B. Opposed. C. Devoted. D. Addicted.
10. Why does the author introduce the example of Raymont in Paragraph 4
A. To show Austin’s positive influence.
B. To persuade people to live off their own.
C. To prove the personal ability of Austin’s father.
D. To describe the difficult situation of poor people.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards what Austin does
A. Sympathetic. B. Humorous. C. Approving. D. Considerate.
D
Our planet is home to about seven billion people. Since the 1990s, population experts have predicted the number would grow to nine billion before it begins to slow down and possibly decrease.
But a new report predicts the world’s population is likely to increase to almost 11 billion by 2100. Based on the most modem statistical tools, the new report makes use of government records and considers expert predictions, including death rates, birthrates and international migration, or people moving across borders. The report says during the rest of this century, Africa’s population will grow from about 3.5 billion to 5.1 billion over the next 85 years.
John is director of the United Nations Population Division. He says that in the past researchers thought population growth in Africa would be similar to that of other areas. They expected slower growth rates as birth control use became more widespread. But he says those ideas were wrong.
“The level of contraception use has continued to increase but slowly — more slowly than expected, and birthrate therefore has been falling less rapidly than expected, and the population therefore continues to grow somewhat more rapidly than we expected.
The new findings are based on a joint research project of the United Nations and the University of Washington,
The researchers believe the population of Asia will reach five billion by 2050. That is up from the current 4.4 billion. And then begin decline. The researchers also believe that North America, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean area will have a total population of below one billion.
John says the pressure of feeding the rising population is likely to be less than that might be expected.
“The relatively good news is that the world has been winning the race between population growth and food production. If you look back historically over the last 50 years, certainly for the world as a whole and for many, most individual countries and regions, the increase in food production has outpaced the increase of population.”
12. Which area will experience the largest increase in population at the end of the century？
A. Asia. B. Africa.
C. Europe. D. North America.
13. “Contraception use” in the fourth paragraph refers to ________.
A. a method of expert predictions
B. a way of avoiding growth in population
C. a joint research into the rising population
D. a potential technology for food production
14. Why is the pressure of feeding the rising population less than expected according to John
A. Expert predictions are not exactly like what the facts happen.
B. Birthrates have always been falling less rapidly than we expected.
C. The population grows less rapidly than population experts expected.
D. The increase in food production has outpaced the increase of population,
15. What can be inferred from the passage
A. The world’s population will increase constantly.
B. The population of Asia will rise by 5 billion by 2050.
C. John is optimistic about feeding the rising population,
D. Population growth in Africa was much slower than expected.

The waterlines were buried except for a small piece that connected up to my house. I put a heater on each side of it, ran the extension cords(软线)into my house and plugged them in. Both heaters roared to life and started blowing hot air on the frozen water pipes. My fingers had already started to go numb, so I stayed inside to wait. I could only hope that this bit of warmth could get my water flowing again. Finally, after twenty minutes, the water started flowing through my faucets again. I went back outside into the biller cold and gathered my heaters up. I looked at the weak January sun shining on the frozen snow and smiled. Then I sent a joy filled with "Thank you" heavenward and returned inside to make myself a hot breakfast.
Sometimes the coldness of this life can get to us as well. It can make our hearts feel icy and frozen. It can keep our kindness and love from flowing out to others. Sometimes, though, all we need is a bit of warmth to get us going again. It can be a simple smile, a kind word, a heart-felt hug, a morning sunrise, a bird's song or any gentle reminder of just how much God loves us. Let us all be grateful for those bits of warmth that gel us going again. And let us all try to be that bit of wannth for others every chance we get.
4. What was the direct reason why the water pipes were frozen
A. The jet stream.
B. The low temperature.

D. The author ' s own carelessness.
5. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase "roared to in Paragraph 2
A. Began functioning smoothly.
B. Worked inappropriately.
C Broke down suddenly.
D. Screamed out loudly.
6. What did the author think of his work
A. Embarassed.
B. Satisfied.
C. Mad with joy.
D. Cautiously optimistic.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly centered on

B. We meet with the coldness of life unavoidably and unwillingly.
C. We should be thankful for bits of warmth of life.

【分析】本文是记叙文。一个寒冷的冬天早晨，由于作者的粗心大意而使水管冻死，没水可用。作者只得想尽办法自己修复，最后得到了热水做了早餐。作者从这件事得出，不要让生活中的寒冷影响我们，要感激生活中给我们带来的每一个温暖。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的信息“I had forgotten to leave my water dripping the night before and now my water pipes were frozen and my faucets (水龙头) were dry” 可知，头天晚上我忘记了让水龙头的水一直处于滴水的状态，现在水管冻结了，水龙头也流不出水了。由此可知，导致水管冻结的直接原因是由于作者本人的疏忽。故正确答案为D。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据该画线短语所在句子中的信息“... and started blowing hot air on the frozen water pipe…after twenty minutes, the water started flowing through my faucets again”可知，两个加热器开始向冻结的水管吹热空气，…二十分钟后，水又开始流过我的水龙头。此处roared to life表达的含义应该是两台加热器开始正常运转起来。分析选项可知A符合题意，故正确答案为A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句“I looked at the weak January sun shining on the frozen snow and smiled. Then I sent a joy filled with "Thank you" heavenward and returned inside to make myself a hot breakfast.”中的smiled和“a joy filled with "Thank you"”可知，作者对自己的工作很满意。故正确答案为B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段，尤其是最后两句“Let us all be grateful for those bits of warmth that gel us going again. And let us all try to be that bit of warmth for others every chance we get.”可知，作者强调我们要感激生活中的每一个温暖，无论它们是多么的微不足道。故选C。
【点睛】在阅读中我们经常会考查猜测词义题。事实上，阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落都有联系。运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式，这要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文（各种已知信息）并结合具体的语境推测、判断某些词或短语的词义。如第2小题，根据该画线短语所在句子中的信息“... and started blowing hot air on the frozen water pipe…after twenty minutes, the water started flowing through my faucets again”可知，两个加热器开始向冻结的水管吹热空气，…二十分钟后，水又开始流过我的水龙头。此处roared to life表达的含义应该是两台加热器开始正常运转起来。分析选项可知A符合题意，故正确答案为A。

America’s latest superhero Austin Perine, who calls himself President Austin, is now taking the country by storm. But he is not a typical superhero. Two things set him apart: He doesn’t fight human enemies, but hunger and homelessness. Also, he’s only four years old.
Our superhero’s origin story started from the day when TJ Perine, his father, took Austin to the Firehouse Ministries, a local shelter that provides housing, food and other services for the homeless. As they drove by the building, they saw a group of 25 homeless men standing on the street corner. That day, Austin used his allowance to buy each man a sandwich and handed the food out himself with his slogan, “Don’t forget to show love!”
After he returned every week for five weeks in a row, word of Austin’s kindness spread through social media. Austin and TJ could feed 25 to 50 people at a time before, and now, thanks to community support, they can feed 800 to 2,000 people.
But Austin isn’t merely filling stomachs. He has been improving the lives of the homeless people he meets. On that first trip to Firehouse Ministries, TJ and Austin talked to a poor man named Raymont. The respect Austin showed for him touched 41-year-old Raymont, who regained his confidence in life and finally found a job with the help of TJ. All that was made possible because a little boy took the time to care.
Austin’s passion has become his family’s calling. After raising money through a GoFundMe page, Audrey, TJ’s mother established the nonprofit Show Love Foundation, dedicated to fighting homelessness. She now serves as president, and TJ oversees public relations for the foundation full time. They offer medical and mental health care as preventive steps against homelessness.
As for President Austin, he continues to give out food, smiles, and his inspirational message of love. “It makes me feel like I’m saving the day,” he said proudly.
8. Why has Austin become well-known to the entire country
A. He has super power to fill the stomachs of the homeless.
B. He fights hunger and homelessness at such a young age.
C. He has removed the poverty of the local community.
D. He has chosen an impressive and unique name.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “dedicated” in Paragraph 5
A. Exposed. B. Opposed. C. Devoted. D. Addicted.
10. Why does the author introduce the example of Raymont in Paragraph 4
A. To show Austin’s positive influence.
B. To persuade people to live off their own.
C. To prove the personal ability of Austin’s father.
D. To describe the difficult situation of poor people.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards what Austin does
A. Sympathetic. B. Humorous. C. Approving. D. Considerate.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了4岁的美国男孩Austin成为了美国的国家英雄，因为他努力帮助无家可归的人，并鼓励他们积极面对生活。他的善意给那些无家可归者带来了积极的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Two things set him apart: He doesn’t fight human enemies, but hunger and homelessness. Also, he’s only four years old. (有两件事使他与众不同：他不与人类敌人作战，而是与饥饿和无家可归作斗争。此外，他只有四岁)”可知Austin出名的原因是在很小的时候对抗了饥饿和无家可归。故选B。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段划线词前面半句“After raising money through a GoFundMe page, Audrey, TJ’s mother established the nonprofit Show Love Foundation,…(TJ的母亲Audrey在GoFundMe页面上筹集了资金后，建立了非营利的Show Love基金会……)”可知Audrey也创立了一个公益组织Show Love Foundation，结合划线词后面提示“fighting homelessness”可知，该组织“致力于”帮助无家可归者。因此划线词dedicated意为“致力于，努力”，和devoted同义。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“But Austin isn’t merely filling stomachs. He has been improving the lives of the homeless people he meets. (但Austin不仅帮助无家可归者填饱肚子。他一直在改善他遇到的无家可归者的生活)”可知，后文展开Raymont的例子是为了说明他的善意对无家可归者的积极影响。故选A。
【11题详解】
观点态度题。根据文章第一句“America’s latest superhero Austin Perine, who calls himself President Austin, is now taking the country by storm(美国最新的超级英雄Austin Perine自称Austin总统，正在风靡美国)”和最后一段“As for President Austin, he continues to give out food, smiles, and his inspirational message of love. (至于Austin总统，他继续分发食物、微笑和他鼓舞人心的爱的信息)”可知Austin现在已经成为了美国的英雄，他努力为无家可归者提供食物并鼓励他们积极面对生活。他的善意给那些无家可归者带来了积极的影响。作者对Austin的行为持支持并满意的态度。故选C。
D
Our planet is home to about seven billion people. Since the 1990s, population experts have predicted the number would grow to nine billion before it begins to slow down and possibly decrease.
But a new report predicts the world’s population is likely to increase to almost 11 billion by 2100. Based on the most modem statistical tools, the new report makes use of government records and considers expert predictions, including death rates, birthrates and international migration, or people moving across borders. The report says during the rest of this century, Africa’s population will grow from about 3.5 billion to 5.1 billion over the next 85 years.
John is director of the United Nations Population Division. He says that in the past, researchers thought population growth in Africa would be similar to that of other areas. They expected slower growth rates as birth control use became more widespread. But he says those ideas were wrong.
“The level of contraception use has continued to increase but slowly — more slowly than expected, and birthrate therefore has been falling less rapidly than expected, and the population therefore continues to grow somewhat more rapidly than we expected.
The new findings are based on a joint research project of the United Nations and the University of Washington,
The researchers believe the population of Asia will reach five billion by 2050. That is up from the current 4.4 billion. And then begin decline. The researchers also believe that North America, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean area will have a total population of below one billion.
John says the pressure of feeding the rising population is likely to be less than that might be expected.
“The relatively good news is that the world has been winning the race between population growth and food production. If you look back historically over the last 50 years, certainly for the world as a whole and for many, most individual countries and regions, the increase in food production has outpaced the increase of population.”
12 Which area will experience the largest increase in population at the end of the century？
A. Asia. B. Africa.
C. Europe. D. North America.
13. “Contraception use” in the fourth paragraph refers to ________.
A. a method of expert predictions
B. a way of avoiding growth in population
C. a joint research into the rising population
D. a potential technology for food production
14. Why is the pressure of feeding the rising population less than expected according to John
A. Expert predictions are not exactly like what the facts happen.
B. Birthrates have always been falling less rapidly than we expected.
C. The population grows less rapidly than population experts expected.
D. The increase in food production has outpaced the increase of population,
15. What can be inferred from the passage
A. The world’s population will increase constantly.
B. The population of Asia will rise by 5 billion by 2050.
C. John is optimistic about feeding the rising population,
D. Population growth in Africa was much slower than expected.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The report says during the rest of this century, Africa's population will grow from about 3.5 billion to 5.1 billion over the next 85 years.（报告说，在本世纪剩下的时间里，非洲人口将在未来85年里从大约35亿增长到51亿。）”可知，非洲将经历最大的人口增长。故选B。
【13题详解】
词义猜测。根据第四段的“The level of contraception use has continued to increase but slowly— more slowly than expected, and birthrate therefore has been falling less rapidly than expected（...水平持续增长，但速度缓慢——比预期的要慢，因此出生率的下降速度低于预期）”可知,这是关于减少人口增加的方法(避孕措施)。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“most individual countries and regions, the increase in food production has outpaced the increase of population.（在大多数国家和地区，粮食产量的增长速度超过了人口的增长速度。）”可知，粮食生产增长的速度超过了人口增长。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The relatively good news is that the world has been winning the race between population growth and food production.（相对好的消息是，世界在人口增长和粮食生产之间的竞赛中取得了胜利。）”可知，约翰对于人口增长这个问题是保持比较积极乐观的态度的，故选C。

【点睛】七选五题型要求考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容上的联系，理解句子之间、段落之间的关系，对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征有较强的意识和熟练的把握。所以懂得整篇文章的基本结构或段落的语篇结构对解题很有用。例如小题3要求选择本段的主题句，结合其它四个主题句可知，主题句都是以动词原形开头的祈使句，再抓住后句的关键词touch和选项 Consider the touch barrier.，再结合其段落的内容就不难选出正确的答案。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是天然草药的作用以及使用它们的时候需要考虑的一些事情。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：天然草药长期以来一直是医学世界的一部分，不同的文化以不同的方式使用它们。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词ways，variety的形容词是various，意为“各种各样的”，故填various。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意：有些人将其用于治疗目的，而另一些人则将其用于医疗目的。由Some people use them for therapeutic purposes和others use them for medicinal purposes可知，前后两句是并列关系，根据句意可知，空格处意为“而”，应用while，故填while。
【43题详解】
考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：众所周知，使用草药是安全的，因为其成分是天然的，因此服用时几乎没有副作用。句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，草药是被使用，因此空格处是一般现在时的被动语态，主语they是复数，因此空格处是are taken。故填are taken。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：天然草药的主要目的是帮助身体恢复正常状态，使其完全恢复。空格处用副词completely修饰动词restored，completely意为“完全”。故填completely。
【45题详解】
考查动名词。句意：它们的作用是使免疫系统正常工作，并在任何疾病发生之前促进身体健康。by是介词，其后跟动名词作宾语，故填making。
【46题详解】
考查名词。句意：此外，天然草药可以减少抑郁、焦虑、疲惫、压力等，因为它们可以帮助你的神经平静下来。空格处用名词作宾语，anxious的名词是anxiety，是不可数名词，意为“焦虑”，故填anxiety。
【47题详解】
考查介词。句意：尽管天然草药有许多优点，但在使用它们时你应该考虑一些事情。take sth. into consideration是固定短语，意为“考虑到……”，因此空格处是into，故填into。
【48题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：例如，在应该使用常规药物的情况下，不要使用它们。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中不缺主语和宾语，先行词cases是抽象地点，因此空格处用关系副词where引导定语从句，故填where。
【49题详解】
考查不定式。句意：在服用任何草药之前，寻求医疗建议以避免对身体产生任何副作用是很重要的。根据语境可知，句子表示“在服用任何草药之前，寻求医疗建议以避免对身体产生任何副作用是很重要的”可知，空格处用不定式表目的，故填to avoid。
【50题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：此外，咨询你的医生以获得正确的剂量和针对你所患的特定疾病的确切药物类型也是很好的。what’s more是固定短语，意为“此外”，因此空格处是more。故填more。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是一个男人替一个女孩买花送给女孩妈妈的善举。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意：上周五，一个男人在一家花店停下脚步，想订一些花电汇给他住在两百英里外的母亲。由Last Friday可知，句子描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，stops要改为过去式，故将stops改为stopped。
2.考查数词。句意：上周五，一个男人在一家花店停下脚步，想订一些花电汇给他住在两百英里外的母亲。“两百”是two hundred，故将hundreds改为hundred。
3.考查固定短语。句意：当他下车时，他注意到一个小女孩在那里哭泣。get out of one’s car意为“从某人的车里出来”，故在out后加of。
4.考查被动语态。句意：当被问及为什么时，她说：“我想给妈妈买一朵玫瑰，但是我没有钱。”女孩是被问为什么哭，when引导的从句用被动语态，由Last Friday可知，句子描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，因此用一般过去时的被动语态，即when she was asked why，主句和从句主语一致，且从句中有be动词时，可省略从句中的主语和be动词，因此省略为when asked why，故将ask改为asked。
5.考查连词。句意：当被问及为什么时，她说：“我想给妈妈买一朵玫瑰，但是我没有钱。”由“I want to buy a rose for my mother”和“I have no money”可知，前后句子是转折关系，因此用but连接两句话，故将and改为but。
6.考查形容词。句意：男人给女孩买了一朵美丽的玫瑰。修饰名词rose要用形容词beautiful，故将beautifully改为beautiful。
7.考查代词。句意：当他们离开时，他提出送女孩回家。由前面的The man可知，男人给女孩买完花后提出开车送女孩回家，用he作主语，故将she改为he。
8.考查定语从句。句意：但是女孩把他领到一个墓地，把玫瑰放在一个新挖的坟墓上。“she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave”的非限制性定语从句，从句中不缺主语或宾语，先行词cemetery是地方，因此用关系副词where引导定语从句，故将when改为where。
9.考查定冠词。句意：这个男人回到花店，取消了电报订单，拿起一束花，开车去了他母亲家。此处flower shop是第二次出现，因此前面用定冠词the，故将a改为the。
10.考查时态。句意：这个男人回到花店，取消了电报订单，拿起一束花，开车去了他母亲家。returned to a flower shop, canceled the wire order, picked up a bouquet和drive之间是并列关系，是一系列并列的动作，因此drive也要用过去式，是drove。故将driving改为drove。
