leans.解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第六段中Luke所说的“We’rehavingdinner.”和倒数第二段中的“wecametotheplacewhereLuke’scarwasparked...afeastoffoodanddrinkwasavailable”可知，Luke把作者带到停车场，取出事先准备好的食物和饮料，共进晚餐。8．WhichofthefollowingcanbeusedtodescribeLuke?A．Considerate.B．Responsible.C．Generous.D．Patient.解析：选A　推理判断题。在航班延误一小时的情况下，Luke的安排使他与作者共进晚餐的计划没有落空，可见Luke是一个考虑周到、体贴朋友的人。CHappyInternationalWomen’sDay!It’sSophiaagain.I’mgoingtobespeakingtoyouguystodayabout“pinktax”，otherwiseknownasgendertax.Whatisgendertax?Gendertaxisbasicallytheideathatwomenhavetopaymoreforcertainproductsbecausethey’remarketedatwomenandnotmen.Nowyoumightbethinking,“Howisthispossible？”Youmaythinkifwomenacrossthegloberealisedthattheywerebeingchargedmorethanmen,theywouldbeangryandtheywouldn’tbuytheproducts.Unfortunately,no!Gendertaxhassneaked(溜)intomanyeverydayproductsthatwomenandmenaren’tevenawareof!Wemightbefamiliarwiththeclassicexamplesofwomen’sdeodorants(除臭剂)orrazorscostingmorethanmen’s,buthaveyoueverthoughtaboutsomethingassimplenasaplainTshirtorayoghurt?Sinceherteens,MurielVega,now29,ofAtlanta,hasboughtmen’srazorsandshavingcream.It’spartlyacostsavingstrategypasseddownfromhermother,butshe’salsofoundthatmen’srazorsworkbetterthanwomen’s.AreportbytheNewYorkCityDepartmentofConsumerAffairsfoundonaveragethatproductsgeared(适合)towardswomencostmorethansimilarproductsgearedtowardsmen42percentofthetime.Butitdoesn’tjuststopthere.Evenchildrenareaffectedbygendertax.Inthesamereport,theyfoundthatbetweentwosimilarscooters(踏板车)fromthesamecompany—onewastargetedatgirlsandonewastargetedatboys—theonethatwastargetedatgirlscost￡16morethanthatonetargetedatboys.Sogirlsandboys,menandwomen,peopleofallagesareaffectedbypinktaxorgendertax.So,whatcanwetakefromallofthis?Well,Ithinkthattheveryfirstimportantstepistobeawareofgendertax,tobeawareoftheproductswe’rebuyingandtoquestionwhetheroneproductismoreexpensivebecauseit’sforawomanorlessexpensivebecauseit’sforaman.Youcanhelptoraiseawarenessbysharingthisvideowithallyourfamilyandfriends.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了性别税，即针对女性的商品比针对男性的同类商品昂贵。9．WhyisaTshirtmentionedinParagraph2?A．Toprovegendertaxisavoidable.B．Toshowgendertaxisprettylow.C．Toprovegendertaxisreasonable.D．Toshowgendertaxiseverywhere.解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Gendertaxhassneaked(溜)intomanyeverydayproducts”体现了本段的主题。下文包括T恤和酸奶在内的例子都是为了说明许多日常用品中都体现了性别税，可以说性别税随处可见。10．WhichmoneysavingmethodisusedbyMurielVega?A．Purchasingless.B．Buyingmen’sproducts.C．Sharingwithhermother.D．Usingeverlastingproducts.解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段第一句中的“Sinceherteens...hasboughtmen’srazorsandshavingcream.It’spartlyacostsavingstrategy”可知，MurielnVega通过购买和使用男性专用的剃刀和剃毛膏省钱。11．WhatisParagraph4mainlyabout?A．Whythereisgendertax.B．Howtofightagainstgendertax.C．Gendertaxaffectingalmosteveryone.D．Womenearninglessandpayingmore.解析：选C　段落大意题。第四段主要是说性别税不仅体现在成年人的用品中，而且已经渗透到了婴童用品中。可以说，不同年龄段的所有人都受到了性别税的影响。该段最后一句“Sogirlsandboys...gendertax.”很好地总结了这一点。12．Whereisthetextmostprobablytakenfrom?A．Alessonplan.B．Anadvertisement.C．Abusinessmagazine.D．Awrittentextofaspeech.解析：选D　文章出处题。根据第一段第一句中的“HappyInternationalWomen’sDay!It’sSophiaagain.I’mgoingtobespeakingtoyou...”及最后一段中的“sharingthisvideowithallyourfamilyandfriends”可推断，本文节选自一段演讲的书面文本。DWhenIwasinelementaryschoolmyparentswouldgivemeadollarifIreceivedanAin“Behavior”onourquarterlyreportcards.Theydidn’tpayforgoodacademicgrades,althoughitwasclearthattheyexpectedmyverybesteffort.IfthatbesteffortresultedinaBinsteadofanAinaparticularsubject,thatwasOK.ButanythinglessthananAinBehaviorwasinexcusable.WhenIbecameaparent,Ithoughtaboutthispracticealot,particularlyaroundthearrivalofmykids’reportcards.Nevercompletelyunderstandingmyparents’practiceandfeelingfunnyaboutrewardinggoodbehaviorwithcash,Idecidednottopaymykidsforgoodconductorforgoodacademicgrades.ButresultsofarecentstudyfromtheHarvardGraduateSchoolofEducationmademethinkharderaboutwhat,exactly,myparentsmayhavebeentryingtoaccomplish.Surprisingly,accordingtothestudy,morethan80%ofthe10,000studentssurveyedrankedachievementorpersonalhappinessoverkindness.Yet,inthesamestudy,96%ofparentsindicatedthatit’simportantfortheirchildrentohaveastrongmoralcompass.Theresearchersinthisstudycallthisarhetoric/realitygap(差距)—agapnbetweenwhatadultssayandwhattheydo.Anditsends,attheveryleast,amixedmessagetokidsaboutourcore(核心)values.Kindnessmatters.Itmattersglobally,asahealthysocietyneedspeoplewhocareabouttheneedsofothers.Anditmatterstoeachofuspersonally.Peoplecan’tbetrulyhappyiftheyarecruel.Sohowcanweletkidsknowthatdoingwellinschoolmattersbutsodoesbeingapersonofgoodcharacter？Ithinkthat’swhatmyparentsweretryingtohelpmeunderstand.Myreportcardprobablyhadadozenlettergradesmeasuringscholasticachievement,butonlyoneforconduct.Pullingadollaroutofhiswalleteverygradingperiodmayhavebeenmyfather’swayofbalancingthescale(天平)—makingsurethattheoneimportantgradeburiedonthebackofthereportgotitsdue.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。作者在看完一项研究的结果后深入思考，最终意识到了父母当年奖励自己的品行的良苦用心。13．Whatdidtheauthor’sparentsrewardwithmoney?A．Goodconduct.B．Personalhappiness.C．Academicprogress.D．Highacademicgrades.解析：选A　细节理解题。由第一段中的“myparentswouldgivemeadollarifIreceivedanAin‘Behavior’”可知，作者的父母用钱奖励作者良好的品行。A项中的conduct“举止，表现”与文中的“Behavior”为同义转换，故选A。14.Whatcanbeinferredabouttherhetoric/realitygap?A．Itiscausedbykids.B．Itisbadforsociety.C．Itisquiteexpectable.D．Itisgoodforindividuals.解析：选B　推理判断题。由第三、四段可知，该差距指很多父母口头上说道德很重要，但他们的行为让孩子们觉得成就或个人的幸福比道德更重要。再由第四段后半部分可知，道德对于社会和个人都非常重要。据此可推断，该差距对社会不利。15．Whatdoestheauthorthinkofhisreportcard?A．Ithelpedpromotecorevalues.B．Itignoredstudents’socialbehavior.C．Itshouldattachmoreimportancetoconduct.D．Itwaswellbalancedbetweengradesandbehavior.解析：选C　推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Myreportcardprobablyhadadozenletterngradesmeasuringscholasticachievement,butonlyoneforconduct...gotitsdue.”可知，作者的成绩报告单过分重视学业成绩，虽也包括品行的部分，但是显得微不足道。作者的父母奖励好的品行正是为了弥补这一不足。据此可推断，作者认为成绩报告单应该给予学生的品行更多的重视。Ⅱ.阅读七选五Doyouhaveahobbythathelpsyourelax?Forsomepeople,thereisnobetterwaytoswitchoffthanspendingtimeinthegarden.Thissmallprivateareaofgreenspacecanbetheiroasisofcalm(宁静的一隅)．__1__AsurveyconductedbytheRoyalHorticulturalSociety,foundthat82%ofpeopleintheUKsaidthatgardeningmakesthemhappier.Italsofoundthat70%ofthem,giventhechoice,wouldprefertospendtheirworkingdayinthegardenwithjust9%optingforanoffice.Forthosewithgreenfingers,thepleasureofgardeningcomesfromgettingoutinthefreshair.__2__Someexpertsactuallybelievethatgettingoutsidetodigandplantthingsactsasa“naturalhigh”．DrChristopherLowry,aneuroscientistattheUniversityofColorado,injectedabacteriumcommonlyfoundinsoilintomicetoseewhateffectthiswouldhaveonthem.__3__Whenwediginsoilwetakeinthisbacteriumthroughourlungsorcutsinourskin.SoDrLowryconcludedthatsincethemiceseemedhappierwhentreatedwithsoilbacteria,it’slikelywewouldbetoo.__4__There’sevidencethatrecoveringalcoholicswhohavebeengiventheopportunitytoplant,grow,andevenselltheirproduce,havemanagedtostoptheiraddictivehabits.ScotStephenson,forexample,gotexpelled(开除)fromschoolandstartedavocationalqualificationingardening.Hesays,“Igotmyfirstqualificationandhaveenjoyediteversince.”__5__Doesthissoundlikeyourideaoffun?A．Therearetoomanyinsectsinthegarden.B．Itcanalsobeseenasatimeawayfromtechnology.C．Gardeningcanalsobeusedasawayoftreatingaddiction.D．It’snowondersomeofusturntogardeningasaformoftherapy.E．Hefoundithadasimilareffectonthemiceasanantidepressantdrugmight.F．Getyourhandsdirty,dosomephysicalworkandthenwatchyourgardengrow.nG．Whateverthereason,gardening’sbenefitsarenotonlyphysical,butalsointhemind.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“园艺疗法”。1．选D　根据第一段最后一句“Thissmallprivateareaofgreenspacecanbetheiroasisofcalm(宁静的一隅)”和设空后面的调查数据可知，D项“难怪我们中有些人转向’园艺疗法’”符合语境，在文中起承上启下的作用。2．选B　根据设空前后的“gettingout”和“gettingoutside”可锁定B项中的“atimeawayfromtechnology”，从事园艺活动既可以让人们走出去呼吸新鲜空气，也可以让人们远离科技。3．选E　根据设空前面的“mice”和“effect”可锁定E项中的“effectonthemice”，代入后“他发现(这种细菌)对老鼠的影响和抗抑郁药物对老鼠的影响很相似”符合语境，故选E项。4．选C　根据设空后的“stoptheiraddictivehabits”可锁定C项中的“awayoftreatingaddiction”，代入后“‘园艺疗法’也是一种治疗上瘾的方法”正是本段的主题句。5．选F　设空后的this指代F项“Getyourhandsdirty,dosomephysicalworkandthenwatchyourgardengrow(把手弄脏，干一些体力活，然后看着自己花园中的花草不断生长)”。
