entire Hummingbirds class, which is made up of 9-and 10-year-old pupils, has been busy writing poems and creating online video advertisements to warn adults about the serious situation of our oceans and wildlife.
Mr. Timms thinks children have an important role to play in teaching us how to take care of the things around us. “We sometimes overlook how much we can really learn from children，” he says. “It has been really hard to believe having parents come in saying that their children have been asking them to stop using plastic, and to recycle more, and even stopping them using plastic straws.”
Mr. Timms is proud of his Hummingbirds class. “The message that they would like to send to the world is simple: stopping this isn’t someone else’s job, and it won’t be OK if we just leave it.”
12．What can we infer about adults according to Isobel Kelleher? A．They just pretend to be busy. B．They haven’t done their part well. C．They can do nothing to stop pollution. D．They have started to care about the ocean. 13．What is the purpose of the school project? A．To help adults to learn more about their kids. B．To remind adults to be friendly to the environment. C．To persuade students to stop using plastic bags. D．To teach students how to write poems creatively. 14．Why does Mr. Timms mention parents in paragraph 4? A．To prove kids are creative in teaching. B．To attract people to support his work. C．To have adults care about education. D．To show the effects of the project. 15．What is the text mainly about? A．An inspiring school project. B．An appeal to stop plastic bags. C．Serious situations of our planet. D．Adults’ ignorance of the environment. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)

Is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? 19.________ It’s important to have a language that the people of the earth have in common.

Scientists have already tried to create an artificial language that isn’t too difficult and doesn’t include any group’s culture.

阅读提速练(二)
阅读理解 第一节
【解题导语】 本文是一篇应用文。英国有许多著名的主题公园，本文就向大家介绍了其中的四个主题公园。
1．C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一则广告的首句“The new Tamarin Trail takes adventurers through beautiful gardens, allowing kids and adults to come face-to-face with a troop of monkeys.”可知，Drayton Manor Theme Park里有许多猴子，喜爱动物的孩子可以去那里玩。
2．A 解析：细节理解题。根据第二则广告中的“Adults from ￡28, children from ￡24(under-3s free)．”可知，在Thorpe Park，成人票价28英镑起，而年龄在3岁以下的孩子免费。因此，这对带着两岁孩子的夫妇最低要支付56英镑的门票钱。
3．D 解析：推理判断题。综合全文的内容，特别是每则广告后面的价格说明可知，每个主题公园都规定3岁或2岁以下的儿童可以免费入园，即某些孩子可以免费入园。故选D项。
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。一名11岁的少年因一次偶然的经历决定为低收入家庭募捐建房，经过数年的不懈努力，实现了这一梦想。
4．C 解析：推理判断题。结合文中对Josh Morrison筹款过程的描述以及第二段中的“Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100，000, but it didn’t shake his faith.”可知，尽管很多人怀疑他能否在四年中完成这件事，但是他信念坚定。由此可见他是“意志坚定的”。
5．B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“his goal of $100，000”和第三段中的“Still, there were challenges. Four months before his deadline, he was $30，000 short. He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair...$19，000.”可知，在截止日期前的四个月，离他的筹款目标还差30 000美元，于是他决定举办这个活动来达到目标。
6．B 解析：句意理解题。根据下文中的“we decided to do more”以及“‘Josh’s Penny House’ is being built by Habitat for Humanity Restore in the city of Oshawa, along with 24 new townhouses. Josh has helped with some of the construction”可知，捐款势头一直保持下去，他收到了比最初目标更多的钱，于是打算做更多，他帮助建造“Josh’s Penny House”以及24所新住宅来帮助需要的人，所以画线处意为“他继续收到捐款”。
7．D 解析：标题归纳题。文章主要讲述了一名11岁的少年经过几年不懈的努力，实现了为低收入家庭募捐建房的梦想的经历。本文提到的“Josh’s Penny House”是解题的暗示。故选D项。
【技巧点拨】 “标题归纳”属于文章主旨要义的考查范畴，考生要明确标题设定的基
本种类与方法。一般说来，标题设定通常有三种方法：①用最简练的语言概括文章的中心思想；②用人名、地名、事件名称等作为标题；③用特殊句型，如疑问句(Who Am I)、祈使句(Come and Eat Here)和其他修辞手段来设定。
【解题导语】 本文介绍了新技术革命给经济领域带来了很大影响，会产生严重的失业问题。同时，本文也鼓励人们应该把握新的机遇去创造更多的就业机会。
8．D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Britain faces social problems as lots of people are set to lose their jobs in technological revolution”以及第二段中的“The dark side of the change could be a much bigger breakdown of employment than in Victorian times, with...among those at risk.”可知，这次改变的阴暗面是将会引发比维多利亚时期更严重的就业问题，在新技术革命中许多人将会失去工作。故选D项。
9．C 解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知，人们之所以会失业，是因为新技术创造出来的机器会替代人们从事很多方面的工作。反之，经济学家能够幸免是因为目前还没有一项技术能扮演他们的角色。故选C项。
10．B 解析：细节理解题。根据第六段可知，过去几年经历的空洞化在将来的规模会更大，因此，从历史中吸取教训并确保人们在接受培训时能够把握住新的机会是很重要的。故选B项。
11．D 解析：观点态度题。文章多处提到霍尔丹担心新技术革命造成人们失业的现象在未来会越来越严重，由此可知，霍尔丹对于未来的就业形势是担忧的。故选D项。
【长难句分析】 Mr.Haldane said the hollowing-out(空洞化) experienced in the past years could be on a greater scale in the future, so it is important to learn the lessons of history and insure that people are given training to take advantage of new opportunities.
分析：本句是一个主从复合句。said后面是一个省略了that的宾语从句，在这个宾语从句中“the hollowing-out experienced in the past years”充当主语；so引导结果状语从句，在这个状语从句中包含it is＋adj.＋to do sth.句式，it在这里充当形式主语，learn和insure是由and连接的两个并列的动词不定式结构。
译文：霍尔丹表示，过去几年经历的空洞化在将来的规模会更大，因此，从历史中吸取教训并确保人们在接受培训时能够把握住新的机会是很重要的。
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“蜂鸟班”积极响应一个环保教育项目。该班由9岁和10岁的孩子组成，他们通过写诗和制作在线视频广告以提醒成年人注意环保问题。
12．B 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的内容，尤其是第一句“Nine-year-old Isobel Kelleher from the school’s Hummingbirds class thinks adults need to take note.”可知，学校“蜂鸟班”里9岁的伊泽贝尔认为成年人需要注意环保问题；据此可推知，成年人在环保问题上没有做得很好，故B项正确。
