Ⅳ.阅读理解(每小题 2 分,共 20 分)
阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出一个最佳选项。
A
When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong,China,we
brought not only our luggage,but also our village rules,customs and culture. One of
the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬) elders.Unluckily,this rule
led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
I had a part-time job as a waiter in an American restaurant.One time,when I was
serving food to a middle-aged couple,the wife asked me how the food could be served
so quickly.I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always
respect the elderly.As soon as I said that,her face showed great displeasure.My
manager,who happened to hear what I said,took me aside and gave me a long lecture
about how sensitive ( 敏 感 ) Americans are and how they dislike the description
“old”.I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife.After the couple
heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences,
so they laughed and were no longer angry.
In my village in China, people are proud of being old.Not so many people live
to be seventy or eighty,and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and
experience.Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn
from their rich experience.
However,in the United States,people think “growing old” is a problem since
“old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well.Here
many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or
jogging,and women put on makeup,hoping to look young.When I told the couple in the
restaurant that I respect the elderly,they got angry because this caused them to feel
they had failed to stay young.I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.
After that,I changed the way I had been with older people.It is not that I don’t
respect them any more;I still respect them,but now I don’t show my feelings through
words.

Good afternoon, everyone! This is Rose Garden Middle School Radio. John Smith
speaking, with something new to share with you today. We all know that thinking green
is sometimes the most difficult thing to do, but not impossible! Bed ZED, a new

protecting the environment.
People in Bed ZED have done many things. They recycle their paper, plastic, glass
and other daily things. They build many houses whose windows face south in order to
get as much sunlight as possible. The rainwater is collected for use in the toilets.
Also, the people there travel to work in shared cars or use public transportation
if they work far away.
Now, you may think it’s not easy to live such a life, but let me tell you, it’s
not! It’s a way of life! We just have to say no to what is bad for the environment,
and begin working on ideas to protect it. Life would be much more pleasant if villages
like Bed ZED existed(存在)all over the world! Thank you for listening!

23.C be pleased to do sth.意为“很高兴做某事”。
24.B 句意为“他们虽然很累,但很快乐,因为他们最终完成了他们的项目”。从句为让步

26.D angry“生气的”;lonely“孤独的”;proud“骄傲的”;surprised“吃惊的”。由后一
分句可知迈克的妈妈问的是有关麻雀这种鸟,由常识可知麻雀是很普通的鸟,人人皆知,

sparrow(麻雀)。sparrow 是一种鸟,故选 C。

项符合题意,故选 B。

紧地拥抱了她”,故选 A。
36.B 由第二段中的 I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because
I always respect the elderly.可知,杰克迅速拿来食物是因为他尊敬老人。
37.C 由第二段中的 As soon as I said that,her face showed great displeasure.可知,
当他们听到杰克称他们为老人时,一点也不愉快。
38.B 由第三段中的 In my village in China,people are proud of being old.可知,在杰
克的家乡,人们以年老自豪。
39.D 由最后一段中的 After that,I changed the way I had been with older people.可知,杰
克在这次经历后,改变了与老人相处的方式。

problem was caused by cultural differences,so they laughed and were no longer angry.
可知 A 选项不对;由文章最后一句...but now I don’t show my feelings through
words.可知 B 选项不对;由第二段中的 I then walked back to the table and apologized
to the wife.可知 C 选项错误,故正确选项为 D。
41.C 由第二段的第二句 “They recycle their paper, plastic, glass and other daily
things.”可知,Bed ZED生态村的人们回收利用纸、塑料、玻璃及其他生活用品。
42.C 由第二段中的“The rainwater is collected for use in the toilets.”可知,在 Bed
ZED生态村,用来冲马桶的水可能来自收集的雨水。
43.A 由第二段的最后一句“Also, the people there travel to work in shared cars or
use public transportation if they work far away.”可知,在Bed ZED生态村,如果人们
距离工作的地方很远,他们通常共用汽车或者乘坐公共交通工具。故选A。
44.C 下文讲述人们为保护环境所做的事,由此推知thinking green的意思与protecting the
environment相同。
45.B 由第三段中的“Life would be much more pleasant if villages like Bed ZED existed
(存在)all over the world!”可以看出作者的观点:Bed ZED 生态村在保护环境方面是
一个好的例子。
