推理判断题。答案定位在第一段It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids.（这是一个公开的秘密，这

是一个闹事者和不太聪明的孩子的区域。）和I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!（一直是个好学生，有很棒的朋友，现在每个人都认为我是个失败者!）由此推断出“Loserville”是一个失败者待着的地方，故选A。 【32题详解】

细节理解题。答案定位在第二段But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was.（但当我说我有多痛苦时，有些人就不再回我的短信了。）由此可知作者在新环境中一直抱怨，因为她受到不公平的待遇，故选C。 【33题详解】

细节理解题。答案定位在倒数第二段But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends.（但真正改变我的是我自己——我不再为自己感到难过，而是做了一些关于交朋友的事情。）由此可知她开始和别人交朋友，改变了情况，故选D。 【34题详解】

主旨大意题。这篇文章主要讲了作者在上七年级的时候，搬到了新泽西。在那里的学校，作者被放到了代表“失败者”的“Loserville”区，受到了不公平地对待，作者尽自己最大的努力，想要告别 “Loserville”。所以这篇文章最好的题目是《和“Loserville”说再见》，故选C。 【点睛】细节理解题的解题思路：

细节理解题就是我们常见的wh-题，它们大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息，或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节，做这类题一般采用寻读法，即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。例如小题3，答案定位在倒数第二段But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry

for myself and did something about making friends.（但真正改变我的是我自己——我不再为自己感到难过，而是做了一些关于交朋友的事情。）由此可知她开始和别人交朋友，改变了情况，故选D。 B

These days everyone is worried about the size of their carbon footprint. In order to reduce global warming, we need to make our carbon footprints smaller. But how much CO are we responsible for?

A new book by Mike Berners-Lee (a leading expert in carbon foot-printing) might be able to help. The Carbon Foot print of Everything looks at the different things we do and buy, and calculates the amount of CO2 they produce, including the ingredients, the electricity, the equipment, the transport and the packaging. And it’s frightening how much carbon dioxide everything produces.

But all of this can help us decide which beer to drink. From Berners-Lee’s calculations, it’s clear that a pint (568 ml) of locally-brewed (酿制的) beer has a smaller carbon footprint than a bottle of imported beer. This is because the imported beer has been transported from far away, and it uses more packaging. The local beer only produces 300 g of CO2-but the imported beer produces 900 g! So, one pint of local beer is better for the environment than three cans of cheap foreign beer from the supermarket.

Berners-Lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to work. Nothing is more environmentally - friendly than riding a bike, surely? Well, it depends on what you’ve had to eat before. To ride a bike we need energy and for energy we need food. So, if we eat a banana and then ride a kilometer and a half, our footprint is 65 g of CO2. However, if we eat bacon before the bike ride, it’s 200 g. In fact, bananas are good in general because they

don’t need packaging. They can be transported by boat and they grow in natural sunlight.

So, does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment? Absolutely not. If you cycle, you don t use your car; and the fewer cars on the road, the fewer traffic jams. And cars in traffic jams produce three times more CO2 than cars travelling at speed. Cycling also makes you healthy and less likely to go to a hospital. And hospitals have very big carbon footprints!

So, maybe it’s time for us all to start making some changes. Pass me a banana and a pint of local beer, please.

35. Which of the followings produces the smallest carbon footprints? A. A pint of local beer. B. A bottle of imported beer.

C. A banana before a 1.5 km bike ride. D. Bacon before a 1.5 km bike ride.

36. According to the article, the author suggests choosing the local food because it is ________. A. more tasty C. better packaged

B. easier to buy D. more energy-saving

37. The purpose of writing this article is to ________. A. promote a new book

B. advertise the imported beer

C. instruct how to measure the carbon footprint D. encourage people to reduce the production of CO2 【答案】35. C 36. D 37. D 【解析】

这是一篇议论文阅读。文章作者鼓励大家采取行动，减少温室气体的排放，并说明了一些具体的做法。

【35题详解】

推理判断题。答案定位在第四段So, if we eat a banana and then ride a kilometer and a half, our footprint is 65 g of CO2. However, if we eat bacon before the bike ride, it’s 200 g. In fact, bananas are good in general because they don’t need packaging. They can be transported by boat and they grow in natural sunlight.（所以，如果我们吃一根香蕉，然后骑一公里半，我们的足迹是65克二氧化碳。然而，如果我们在骑车之前吃培根，那就是200克。事实上，香蕉一般来说是好的，因为它们不需要包装。它们可以乘船运输，生长在自然阳光下。）和第五段So, does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment? Absolutely not.（那么，这是否意味着骑车对环境有害呢?绝对不是。）由此推断出一根香蕉前骑1.5公里自行车，产生的碳足迹最小，故选C。 【36题详解】

推理判断题。答案定位在第三段This is because the imported beer has been transported from far away, and it uses more packaging. The local beer only produces 300 g of CO2-but the imported beer produces 900 g! So, one pint of local beer is better for the environment than three cans of cheap foreign beer from the supermarket.（这是因为进口的啤酒是从很远的地方运来的，所以需要更多的包装。当地的啤酒只生产300克二氧化碳，而进口的啤酒却生产900克!所以，一品脱本地啤酒比超市里三罐便宜的外国啤酒更环保。）由此推断出，作者建议选择当地的食物，因为它更节能，故选D。 【37题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段So, maybe it’s time for us all to start making some changes. Pass me a banana and a pint of local beer, please.（所以，也许是时候让我们所有人开始做出一些改变了。请递给我一根香蕉和一品脱当地啤酒。）可知文章是鼓励大家采取行动，减少温室气体的排放，故选D。 C
