2. Weaving hammocks is an art that takes a sharp eye, a skilled hand and lots of
patience. But in Lenwood Haddock’s case, being blind works to his advantage. His
trained, sensitive hands are acutely aware of every step of the process. Since
beginning his craft in 1986, Lenwood has woven about 145, 000 perfect hammocks.
Lenwood lost his sight in 1973, at age 18, during a hunting accident. “My whole
working career has been blind,” he says. He first found a job as a woodworker, but
when that organization closed, the North Carolina Division of Services for the Blind
connected him with Hatteras Hammocks. On his first day of work. “I did a total of
one hammock,” Lenwood recalls, laughing. “And then I came home and lay down to
sleep. I lift weights, but I wasn’t as tough as I thought until I started weaving.lt takes a
lot of energy, and you’re standing up all day.”
In time, however, Lenwood found he had a knack (窍门) for the job. At first he
worked on-site at the company, but after a year Lenwood moved his operation to the
home workshop where he had worked for 10 years during his woodworking days.
There, he creates dozens of hammocks each week from ropes in a variety of sizes.
One day, he realized the step counter on his phone recorded him walking eight miles
without ever leaving his shop.
The process of weaving a hammock involves making and catching hundreds of
loops (环). A single missed stitch (织针) creates a hole that can widen and make the
hammock uncomfortable or even dangerous to use. Experienced weavers miss loops
sometimes, but to his company’s knowledge, Lenwood has never turned in a
hammock with even one dropped stitch. Lenwood’s skilled fingers are quick to catch
and fix any mistakes.
The company has acquired other brands and changed its name to The Hammock
Source. Today, it is the world’s largest maker and seller of hammocks, all built by
hand.
However, Lenwood’s routine has changed little. He works his fingers back and
forth across the rows, looping the rope and pulling it. With every hammock, Lenwood
presents himself a perfect product. “I’m not sure how sighted people do it,” he admits.
1.Lenwood stopped doing his first job because .
A.it was for people with good eyesight only
B.the company failed to go on with its business
C.the company didn’t produce hammocks
D.he was not skilled at doing woodwork
2.It can be learned from the passage that Lenwood .
A.has been blind all through his life
B.used to work as a hunter to support his family
C.was born in the 1950s with good eyesight
D.has worked as a hammock weaver for 10 years
3.What can we learn about Lenwood from the 4th paragraph?
A.He moved very often while he was working on a hammock.B.He had to make different ropes before he wove a hammock.
C.He had to stay 8 miles away from the worksite to complete it.
D.He needed ropes of about 8 miles long to complete a hammock.
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.the success of the Hammock Source Company
B.a blind craftsman who makes perfect hammocks
C.how to weave perfect hammocks by hand
D.how to become a successful craftsman
3.Michelin inspectors, the super secret spies of the restaurant industry, are the
anonymous (匿名的) keepers of the famous Michelin star rating. They’ve been
writing anonymous reports of restaurants for over 100 years.
“We say it’s a little like the CIA,” said inspector “M” with a laugh. She asked
that her identity not be revealed. “My whole life is staying under the radar, staying
away from cameras, using fake names, trying to steal in and out of restaurants
quietly.”
Along with their boss, Jean Luc Naret, the director of the Michelin Guide, about
90 inspectors around the world decide which restaurants will win the cooking
equivalent (等价物) of an Oscar, the Nobel Prize and Megamillions jackpot (百万彩
票) all at once. The Michelin Guide covers 23 countries, and out of the 45,000 rated
restaurants, less than 100 have the top rating — only nine American restaurants carry
three stars.
If the name “Michelin” brings the tires on your car to mind, you’re not too far off.
The Michelin rating began in France in 1900 as a marketing trick. The Michelin
brothers thought their customers would bum more rubber if given a list of hotels and
restaurants to explore.
Inspector “M” admitted being an inspector leads to a lonely dining life. “Most of
the time we dine alone,” she said. “It gives us the ability to really focus on the food
and the atmosphere and capture the entire experience.” To cover their tracks, “M”
said sometimes two inspectors will dine together and write two separate papers. It’s
better than saying “table for one”, right?
“When you’re really, really into food and very crazy about food, everything else
that’s going on around you isn’t so important,” she said.
1.The underlined words “under the radar” in Paragraph 2 mean .
A.living in danger
B.being the focus of the media
C.trying to be unnoticed
D.making programs on the radio
2.The Michelin rating was first carried out in order to .
A.open more hotels and restaurants
B.bring more convenience to drivers
C.make people familiar with “Michelin”
D.make a profit by selling more tires of a certain brand
3.Sometimes two inspectors dine together so that they can .
A.cut the expense on the foodB.protect their identities
C.save trouble by sharing a paper
D.talk about the food over the meal
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A.M’s experience as a CIA
B.The legend of Michelin brothers
C.Michelin inspectors: food industry spies
D.Michelin — a giant in tire and restaurant industry
4.Drive through any suburb in the U.S. Today, and it’s hard to miss the recycling
bins that have become companions to America’s trash cans. Recycling has become
common, as people recognize the need to care for the environment. Yet most people’s
recycling consciousness extends only as far as paper, bottles, and cans. People seldom
find themselves facing the growing problem of e-waste.
E-waste rapidly increases as the techno- fashionable frequently upgrade to the
most advanced devices, and the majority of them end up in landfills (垃圾填埋地).
Some people who track such waste say that users throw away nearly 2 million tons of
TVs, VCRs, computers, cell phones, and other electronics every year. Unless we can
find a safe replacement, this e-waste may get into the ground and poison the water
with dangerous toxins (毒素), such as lead, mercury, and arsenic. Burning the waste
also dangerously contaminates the air.
However, e-waste often contains reusable silver, gold, and other electrical
materials. Recycling these materials reduces environmental problems by reducing
both landfill waste and the need to look for such metals, which can destroy
ecosystems.
A growing number of states have adopted laws to ban dumping e-waste. Still, less
than a quarter of this waste will reach lawful recycling programs. Some companies
advertising safe disposal in fact merely ship the waste to some developing countries,
where it still ends up in landfills. These organizations prevent progress by unsafely
disposing of waste in an out- of- sight, out- of- mind location.
However, the small but growing number of cities and corporations that do handle
e- waste responsibly represents progress toward making the world a cleaner, better
place for us all.
1.What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A.Many Americans now have access to recycling bins.
B.E-waste cannot be put into trash cans in the U.S.
C.Most Americans have realized the dangers of e-waste.
D.Most of America’s trash cans are made of recycled material.
2.What can best replace the underlined word “contaminates” in Paragraph 2?
A.pollutes.
B.heats.
C.absorbs.
D.reduces.
3.How does the author feel about burying e-waste in landfills?
A.It’s important.B.It’s unsafe.
C.It’s acceptable.
D.It’s uncommon.
4.What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text?
A.To tell us how to recycle e-waste.
B.To talk about the future of e-waste.
C.To discuss if it’s necessary to recycle e-waste.
D.To encourage us to deal with e-waste properly.
二、七选五
5.Listening to others requires entering actively and imaginatively into the
situation and trying to understand a frame of reference different from your own, and
yet so many of us don’t listen properly as we should. Listening means more than just
sitting silently while someone else talks ①__________
Here are some ways to become a better listener.
②__________ Make sure you actually hear fully what your friend is saying, and
you can’t cut your friend off verbally carelessly. While you might intend to help move
the conversation along, your friend might feel as if what he has said need to be
continually talked over or sound anything but interesting.
Nod to encourage the conversation along. A better option to let your friend know
you’re interested in what he says is just to nod along from time to time. Sometimes
you nod along but then start thinking about something unrelated to what he could say
③__________
Turn out background noise. If you’re easily distracted by laughter, glasses
clinking, children crying, you might need to work extra hard to focus only on your
friend ④__________ Don’t hesitate to tell them that the background noises are
getting in the way. If you can’t focus, try moving to another area.
Don’t text or look at your phone! ⑤__________ For you see, when you’re
sitting in front of someone, he is the most important person in your world at that
moment.
A. Stop the speaker whenever you have a question.
B. Practice silence when someone else is talking.
C. If necessary, ask your friend to repeat himself.D. Whoever is calling or texting can wait until you’re done with your conversation.
E. It means trying to see the problem the way the speaker sees it.
F. In this case, try to push away your thoughts until you’re absorbed in what your
friend is saying.
G. Remembering ideas from previous conversations proves that your attention is kept
and encourages your friend to continue.

Mr. Zhang, our English teacher, telling us that the ability to write in English is
becoming increasingly important in English communication as well as in
examinations. Therefore, it was worth focusing our attention.
In order to write the good essay, we should have an excellently command of over
2,000 frequently- used English words. It’s necessary and useful for us to read or even
recite beautiful English articles which we can learn useful structures of sentence. As
we all know, that practice makes perfect, so you should take every possible chance to
write in English.

achieve the aim.

2.考査动词短语。take up 占用;take out 取出;pick out 捡起;pick up 获得,接(某人)。

7.答案:where; growth; creating; Fortunately; have flooded/ have been
flooding; for; them; increasing; worse; an
解析:
1.分析 Beijing was once a city of bikes,the capital of a country known
as the Hcycle Kingdom, 1. cars were reserved for official business and
the politically powerful 可知,本句是一个定语从句。先行词为 Beijing, 在
定语从句中作地点状语,表示地点时用 where,故填 where。
2.分析句子 decades of economic 2. (grow) led to a huge flowing of cars
in the city.可知,本句的动词 grow 在句子中被形容词 economic 修饰,做介词
of 的宾语,因此要用其名词形式,故填 growth。
3.分析句子 As the economy developed,autos pushed bikes off the roads,
3. (create) heavy pollution and miserable traffic 由于经济的发展,汽车
代替了自行车,从而造成了重大的污染和糟糕的交通。汽车代替了自行车,自然而
然地导致了后面的污染与糟糕的交通。前面的事情自解而然地产生了后面的结果,
这种情况要用动词 ing 形式作结果状语, 故填 creating。
4. 幸运的是,现在北京可能会回到原来的状态。分析本句可知,形容词
fortunate 在本句中作状语修饰整个句子,修饰整个句子作状语要用副词形式,
故填 Fortunately。
5. 句意:在过去两年里,颜色明亮的共享自行车涌入北京。分析句子…brightly
colored shared bikes 5. (flood) into Beijing in the last two years.可
知,本句中含有现在完成时时态标志“in the last two years.”,根据句意可知
共享自行车从两年前到现在一直在北京。动作从过去一直持续到现在,这个运用
正在进行并有可能进行下去,可以用现在完成时或现在完成进行时,故填 have
flooded/have been flooding。
6.句意:因为自行车提供的灵活性和自由,当地许多居民接受了共享自行车。介词
for 在此的意思为“因为”。故填 for。
7.分析句子 They pick up the bikes and then ride and drop 7.off anywhere
they like,可知,上文说人们拿起自行车骑完后把自行车(它们)放在他们想放的
地方。分析句子可知,故填 them。
8.分析句子…factors that contribute to bikes 8. (increase) rapidly 可
知,本句的动词 increase 在此作 to 的宾语 bikes 的补语,与 bikes 与 increase
二者是主动关系。因此用动词的 ing 形式。句意:在中国有三个因素促进自行车
的快速增加,故填 increasing。9. 分析句子可知,本句中的 bad 在句子中作系动词 got 的表语,分析句意可知,
本句中是说随着城市人口的增长,交通拥堵变得更糟,可知要用比较级,故填 bad
的比较级 worse。
10. 本句的意思是:以一种环保的方式解决最后一英里的路程问题。因此表示数
量“一”,environmentally 是以元音音标开头的,故填 an。

9.答案:Dear Tony,
I am extremely sorry to tell you that I’m unable to carry on helping
you learn Chinese. Words fail me to show my deep regret.
It is for one year that we have helped each other. I am grateful
for your selfless and effective guidance, without which I wouldn’t make
such amazing advances in English. However, it won’t be a long time before
I am faced with a significant challenge, the College Entrance Examination.
With my overall energy devoted to revision, I have no time to surf the
Internet. Failure to communicate with you makes me regretful. My hope is
that we can learn from each other after the exam.
I would appreciate your understanding and forgiveness. Hoping to
study with you online soon.
Best wishes!
Yours truly,
Li Hua
