专题06 时文报道类 模拟训练 Passage 1（2017届唐山市第一中学高三调研）‎ ‎ On January 13, 2016, France became the first country in the world to pass a law requiring supermarkets to donate (捐赠) food that is nearing its expiration date (截止日期) instead of throwing it away. The law requires supermarkets over 4,000 square feet to make an agreement with local food banks.‎ ‎ The law also does not allow stores to crush (压碎) or pour water over food that is about to expire, or store it inside until it is picked up by garbage trucks. These actions are often taken by supermarkets to keep away the hungry from finding this kind of food in the rubbish.‎ ‎ Also, factories producing products like milk for supermarkets, are now allowed to donate goods directly to the food banks. Though they have always been able to do that, the former law made it difficult for them to give away the food in a timely manner.‎ ‎ The law also requires the charities receiving the donations to store the food in a safe and clean manner and, more importantly, give it out with dignity. This means that they should send it to people in need from a food bank where they can communicate with them, instead of just handing it out on the streets.‎ ‎ France’s food banks are of course excited about the possibility of receiving extra food, like meat, vegetables, and fruit. Jacques Bailet, who heads a network of French food banks, says that of the 110,000 tons of goods received every year, only 36,000 tons come from supermarkets. Bailet guesses that just a 15% increase in supermarket donations would change to over 10 million additional meals to feed the hungry each year.‎ Though this is a great first step, Arash Dermabarsh, the activist responsible for the movement that led to the law, points that it is not done. He now wants to extend (扩展)the law to other places like restaurants, bakeries, and school cafeterias.‎ ‎1. What law did France pass in January, 2016?‎ ‎ A. People must not eat food that is nearing its expiration date.‎ ‎ B. Supermarkets must donate food that is close to its expiration date.‎ ‎ C. Supermarkets must throw away food that is close to its expiration date.‎ ‎ D. Supermarkets must make an agreement with food banks to ensure food safety.‎ ‎2. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.‎ ‎ A. France’s food banks are against the law ‎ ‎ B. it is difficult to carry out the new law ‎ C. poor people in France are looked down upon ‎ ‎ D. the hungry people will benefit from the new law ‎3. Which of the following is NOT included in the new law?‎ ‎ A. Allowing factories to donate goods directly to the food banks.‎ ‎ B. Allowing more people to find help and food in local supermarkets.‎ ‎ C. Requiring the charities to store the food in clean and safe places.‎ ‎ D. Requiring the charities to give out the donated food with dignity.‎ ‎【语篇解读】文章介绍法国通过一项法律要求超市将要过期的食物捐赠给当地的食品银行而不是将它们扔了。‎ ‎1.

Five finalists from Australia, Romania, U.S., Switzerland and France were in the final race.

A lot of rats. “Every night when I walk down the sidewalk, I see rats, ” says 36-year-oId Kelly McGee, who has come to accept this aspect of city living. “It’s an urban area; I don't know what else we can expect.”‎ McGee lives just down the block from the old Children's Memorial Hospital, which is about to be torn down as part of a massive redevelopment project. “Construction all over the city often disturbs rats that are living underground,” says Lincoln Park’s City Council representative, Alderman Michele Smith. “Every developer has to do active rat reduction on site, ”Smith says. Already, there are poisonous and inviting food boxes all around the old hospital complex. But the developer of the hospital site still warned residents in a recent community meeting that when digging begins later this month, the rat problem could be awful.‎ Victoria Thomas, who lives a few miles north of Lincoln Park in Chicago’s Lake View neighborhood, says she tried everything from underground fencing to poison traps to wipe out rats, but nothing worked until she got some cats. From the first day she got the cats, Thomas says the rats started to disappear.‎ ‎“The cats will kill off a great deal of the initial population of the rats, ”says Paul Nickerson, who manages the Cats at Work program for Tree House Humane Society. “And through ‎ spreading their pheromones, a chemical produced by an animal, the cats will keep other rats from filling their absence.” Nickerson says that is what makes the cat program so successful in keeping rats away for the long term. ” The rats are far from stupid. They smell the cats’ pheromones so they’ll stay out of the cats’ territory(领域).”‎ After Smith highlighted the program in a recent newsletter, Nickerson and Tree House Humane Society have been getting lots of calls from people seeking their own cat colonies. That means a lot more wild cats that might otherwise be killed out of pity will be cared for while doing something that they love: hunting rats.‎ ‎1.What is McGee’s attitude towards the rat problem?‎ A. Indifferent B. Tolerant ‎ C. Annoyed D. Frightened ‎2.What does the underlined word in the last but one paragraph refer to?‎ A. Rats’ stupidity. B. Tree House Humane Society.‎ C.

It’s important to keep the ecological balance.‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文要通过讲述林肯公园老鼠肆虐，人们认为是用猫消灭老鼠是一个不错的方法，也是一个双赢的计划。‎ ‎1.B 【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句36-year-old Kelly McGee, who has come to accept this aspect of city living. “It’s an urban area; I don’t know what else we can expect”可推断，McGee ‎ 比较能容忍老鼠肆虐的问题。Indifferent漠不关心的；Tolerant容忍的；Annoyed恼怒的；Frightened害怕的；故选B。‎ ‎3.A 【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段句子“That means a lot more wild cats that might otherwise be killed out of pity will be cared for while doing something that they love; hunting rats.”可知，许多原本会处于同情被杀死的野猫可以通过帮助人类灭鼠而得到照顾，因此推断这个计划是一件双赢的事情。故选A。‎ Passage4（2017届吉林省东北师范大学附属中学高三模拟考试）‎ Recent months have seen a revival of the humble(普通的)bike across China, with an increasing number of people choosing pedaling(骑车)instead of driving to school, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. The introduction of bike-sharing systems, services in which bicycles are made available for shared use to individuals who do not own them and pioneered by start-ups like Ofo and Mobike, has brought the trend to a new level.‎ Washington D. C. has one of the biggest bike sharing systems in the US with 3, 700 bikes and 440 stations. The UK, France and Germany all have growing programs. However, China, so far, outdoes(超过)them all by operating three out of four of the world’s shard bikes.‎ People can unlock the shard bikes by simply using their smartphone. The bikes are equipped with GPS and users of China’s versions can leave bikes anywhere in public for the next user. They’re popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the “last mile” problem, which refers to the final leg of a person’s journey.‎ However, the Chinese programs have also led to problems such as illegal parking, vandalism(故意破坏)and theft. In fact, these problems are also shared by bike-sharing programs abroad. Launched in 2007, Véilb is a large-scale public bike sharing system in Paris. At its early stage of operation, it also suffered from problems of vandalism or theft. By Oct 2009, a large number of Vélib’s initial bikes had to be replaced due to vandalism or theft, according to The New York ‎ Times.‎ To deal with these problems, the company came up with the idea of encouraging people to return the bikes to stations by rewarding free time for their next rides. Now, Chinese service operators are also trying to address these problems. For example, Mobike sets a 100-point credit score for each user, with points taken in the case of bad behavior. Once a score drops below 80, bike rental is increased to 100 yuan per 30 minutes, up from 0. 5-1 yuan.‎ ‎1.What can we learn about bike sharing systems?‎ A. They offer free bike rides.‎ B. They are running perfectly.‎ C. China operates the biggest system.‎ D. France was the first to launch the system.‎ ‎2.As a means of transportation, bike-sharing can be best described as _______.‎ A. promising but expensive.‎ B. convenient and eco-friendly.‎ C. eco-friendly but ineffective D. troublesome and meaningless.‎ ‎3.What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Shared Bikes Pedal into Style.‎ B. Problems with Bikes in China.‎ C. Shared Bikes Attract Young People.‎ D. Transportation Changes with the Times.‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文报道了共享单车成为一种新的趋势，并介绍了它的优缺点。‎ ‎2.B 【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段可知共享单车方便而且环保，故选B。‎ ‎3.A 【解析】主旨大意题。纵观全文可知本文讲的是共享单车成为一种新的趋势，与A项一致，故选A。‎ Passage5（2017届河北省衡水中学高三模拟考试 ）‎ Sitting under the national flag and separated from the media by a transparent glass wall, 50-year-old Jing Haipeng and 37-year-old Chen Dong appeared calm as they prepare to be part of, what is scheduled to be, China’s longest-ever manned spaceflight mission.‎ The two were scheduled to spend a total of 33-days in orbit. This would be 3rd trip into space for veteran Chinese astronaut Jing Haipeng. He has been on the Shenzhou-7 mission in 2008 and the Shenzhou-9 mission in 2012. The mission’s commander was also part of docking missions(太空对接任务)on both his previous space flights, giving him the experience needed to help dock Shenzhou-11 with Tiangong-2. Jing Haipeng said, “With The past 18 years of intensive professional astronaut training, together with the two previous experiences I’ve had flying in space, I’m very confident and determined that this mission is going to be a great success. Personally, I’m much calmer and in a more positive head-space than I was during my previous missions. I’m very proud to be here to greet our country. I know my confidence is shared with the rest of our entire space program.”‎ With an unblemished flight record of 15-hundred hours as a pilot, 37-year old Chen Dong was chosen in 2010 to be part of the next generation of Chinese astronauts. He too said he was confident of heading into the mission, even though it would be his first time in space. “I have the chance to join my first mission after 6-years of intensive training and learning. For me, the timing is perfect-not too early, but not too late either. When we train, Jing is my teacher. In life, he is my brother. He is so dedicated, and demands only the best from me and the others that he works with. Because of his experience, I am very lucky to be paired with him on this mission ‎ into space.” After being put into orbit, Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong were going to conduct a series of experiments, including testing the latest in China’s advanced life support systems, as well as scientific research.‎ Wu Ping deputy director of Chena’s Manned Space Program, explains the role of the two astronauts in space. “During their mission, the two are essentially back-ups to one-another. They are both capable of piloting the spacecraft, complex management, manual docking as well as handling any emergency situations or malfunctions(故障). While in orbit, they are going to complete a number of maneuvers(演习)with Shenzhou-11, as well as orbital experiments, demonstrations and tests on human health in space.”‎ ‎1.From what Jing Haipeng said we can infer_____.‎ A. previous experience matter a lot B. the mission’s commander helped him C. the Shenzhou-7 mission is to be docked with the Shenzhou-9‎ D. he lacked confidence during the previous launching ‎2.The underlined word “unblemished” in Paragraph 3 can b replaced by______.‎ A. continuous B. surprising ‎ C. perfect D. significant ‎3.What made Chen Dong a qualified astronaut?‎ A.
