At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.
More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody (抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.
“Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. “I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health.
Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.
4. Why did James Harrison decide to donate blood as regularly as he could?
A. Because he wanted to be a celebrity.
B. Because he was saved by the blood donations when he was young.
C. Because his blood is valuable.
D. Because the Rh treatment program in Australia need him.
5. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?
A. Robyn Barlow was sad because millions of babies suffer from blood disease.
B. Robyn Barlow was worried because Harrison may die of losing too much blood.
C. Robyn Barlow was moved by Harrison’s donations.
D. Robyn Barlow was frightened by Harrison’s crazy behavior.
6. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Harrison’s retirement will not affect the Rh program.
B. After Harrison’s retirement, the Rh program will fail.
C. Harrison’s influence to the Rh program will still exist after his retirement.
D. A library has been built for the study of Harrison’s DNA .
7. Which word can best describe Harrison?
A. Patient. B. Diligent.
C. Talented. D. Devoted.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【分析】
本文为记叙文。文章主要叙述Harrison因别人的献血挽救了自己的生命，因此决定18岁以后自己也参与献血。60年里他献血近1200次，他自然产生RH阴性血，其中含有RH阳性抗体，拯救了数百万婴儿。他的献血也促进了未来的澳大利亚抗D计划。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。第一段“At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.” 14岁时，詹姆斯·哈里森做了一次大的胸部手术，手术后他需要13个加仑的血液。有人献血挽救了他的生命，于是他决定一旦年满18岁，就开始尽可能地定期献血。由此可推出，詹姆斯·哈里森决定尽可能地定期献血是因为他小的时有人献血挽救了他。故选B。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线部分的上句“Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies...” 罗宾说“澳大利亚生产的每一瓶抗-D药物都含有詹姆斯的捐献，”Rh项目主管Robyn Barlow说，“这是一件了不起的事情。他救了数百万婴儿”。故划线句子“I cry just thinking about it”是说罗宾•巴洛为詹姆斯的献血而感动。分析选项可知C项（哈里森的捐款感动了罗宾·巴洛）符合题意，故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health.”可知，的医生说应该让詹姆斯·哈里森停止献血了。他们已经延长了他献血的年龄限制，现在为了保护他的健康，他们正在切断他的血液供应。最后一段“Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.” 詹姆斯·哈里森退休对澳大利亚的Rh治疗计划是一个打击。只有160名捐赠者支持这项计划，找到新的献血者是很困难的。但詹姆斯•哈里森退出献血并不意味着他完全退出了比赛。科学家们正在收集和编目他的DNA，以建立一个抗体和白细胞库，这可能是澳大利亚抗D计划的未来。由此可推断出詹姆斯•哈里森退出这个项目，但却促进了科学家收集和编目他的DNA，将要建立一个抗D和白细胞库。由此可推断出哈里森退休后对Rh项目还有影响。分析选项可知C项（哈里森退休后对Rh项目的影响仍然存在）符合题意，故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。本文主要叙述是Harrison因别人的献血挽救了自己的生命，因此决定18岁以后自己也参与献血。60年里他献血近1200次，他自然产生RH阴性血，其中含有RH阳性抗体，拯救了数百万婴儿。他的献血精神就是一种奉献精神，挽救了许多人，更感动了许多。文章中献血（即对他人的奉献精神）一词，贯穿全文。分析选项A. Patient.耐心的；B. Diligent. 勤奋的； C. Talented. 天才的；D. Devoted.奉献精神的。故选D。
【点睛】在阅读中我们经常会考查猜测词句题。事实上，阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落都有联系。运用逻辑推理猜测词句是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式，这要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文（各种已知信息）并结合具体的语境推测、判断某些词或短语的词义。例如第2小题词句猜测题。根据划线部分的上句“Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies...” 罗宾说“澳大利亚生产的每一瓶抗-D药物都含有詹姆斯的捐献，”Rh项目主管Robyn Barlow告诉悉尼先驱晨报说。“这是一件了不起的事情。他救了数百万婴儿”。故划线句子“I cry just thinking about it”是说罗宾•巴洛为詹姆斯的献血而感动。分析选项可知C项（哈里森的捐款感动了罗宾•巴洛）符合题意，故选C。
C
Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing.
Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting the places for birds to stop, rest and feed. The scientists studied the migration or flight paths of almost 1,500 species. They decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas.
The major danger for migratory birds is development. Buildings and pavements have covered the places where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another. One of the scientists who worked on the study says “Many of these important places have been lost to land reclamation (开垦) because of urban, industrial and agricultural land expansion”.
The problem, according to scientists, is that many of these small birds die along their migration paths because they don’t have a safe place to feed and rest. There is no place to restore their energy for the next part of their journey. Countries in North Africa, Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time in protecting land. The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds. One species that doesn’t exist now is the Eskimo curlew. “Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,” one of the scientists says.
The researchers say countries need to work together and come up with safe stopping areas for birds that pass through their boundaries. For example, one country might have preserved safe zones for migrating birds. But a neighbor country might not. A bird might die.
One scientist who is not connected with the report tells Los Angeles Times that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds.
He says small changes, like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of the areas birds would be likely to use, could make a big difference.
8. What mainly caused the disappearing of birds’ habitats ?
A. The decrease of awareness to protect birds. B. Natural disasters.
C. Overuse of land by human beings. D. The rising sea level.
9. What may be the main reason for many birds’ death on the way of migration?
A. Exhaustion and hunger. B. Beast attack on the ground.
C. Hunting of humans. D. The long journey.
10. According to the last two paragraphs, how should we protect the migrating birds?
A. By keeping fewer cats or dogs.
B. By restoring their destroyed habitats.
C. By helping change the birds’ migration paths.
D. By preserving the ecological environments on their migration paths.
11 What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To tell us a huge percentage of bird species are in danger.
B. To analyze the reasons for disappearing of birds’ habitats.
C. To offer some solutions to the problem of birds’ habitats.
D. To call on people to protect the birds’ habitats.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【分析】
本文为说明文。研究表明，候鸟迁徙的过程中，由于人类过度开发，城市化建设和工农业的发展，使得候鸟的沿途栖息地遭到了严重的破坏，候鸟因为没有栖息的地方而累死、饿死等，这直接导致大量鸟类物种的消失。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing.”可知，科学家说，一大部分鸟类正处于危险之中，因为它们的栖息地或家园正在消失。以及第三段“Buildings and pavements have covered the places where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another. One of the scientists who worked on the study says “Many of these important places have been lost to land reclamation (开垦) because of urban, industrial and agricultural land expansion”可知，建筑物和人行道覆盖了鸟类从一个地方迁徙到另一个地方时停下来觅食的地方。从事这项研究的一位科学家说，“由于城市、工业和农业用地的扩张，这些重要的地方中的许多已经被土地复垦所取代”。由此可知，鸟类的鸟类栖息地的消失是因为人类过度使用土地导致而成的。分析选项可知C项（Overuse of land by human beings）符合题意，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The problem, according to scientists, is that many of these small birds die along their migration paths because they don’t have a safe place to feed and rest. There is no place to restore their energy for the next part of their journey.” 根据科学家的说法，问题是这些小鸟中的许多都是在迁徙途中死去的，因为它们没有一个安全的地方来进食和休息。可知，许多鸟类在迁徙途中死亡的主要原因是迁徙中因为筋疲力尽和饥饿。由此可知A项Exhaustion and hunger（筋疲力尽和饥饿）符合题意，故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One scientist ...tells Los Angeles Times that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds.” 以及最后一段“like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of the areas birds would be likely to use, could make a big difference.”文章最后两段说，虽然鸟儿的一些栖息地正在改变，但可以做更多的事让迁徙途经城市地区的鸟类安全。结合最后一段列举的两项举措，比如种植更多的本地植物或者把猫关在鸟类可能使用的区域之外，这可能会产生很大的影响。可推断出，最后两段我们要保护好迁徙的动物，就要保护好迁徙途中的生态环境。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。作者写本文的目的就是号召大家一起保护鸟儿的栖息地。文章第一段“Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing.”可知，鸟类正处于危险之中，因为它们的栖息地或家园正在消失。从第二段至第四段叙述了鸟儿的栖息地消失的原因及存在的安全隐患。最后三段就如何让鸟儿的栖息地安全提出了建议，各国需要共同努力，为通过其边界的鸟类提供安全的栖息区域。要从小事做起，并号召大家共同努力一起保护鸟儿的栖息地。可知D项（呼吁人们保护鸟类的栖息地）符合题意，故选D。
【点睛】推理判断试题属于高层次阅读理解题。这种题型包括判断题和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了得出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。如第3小题 属于推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One scientist ...tells Los Angeles Times that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds.” 以及最后一段“like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of the areas birds would be likely to use, could make a big difference.”文章最后两段说，虽然鸟儿的一些栖息地正在改变，但可以做更多的事让迁徙途经城市地区的鸟类安全。结合最后一段列举的两项举措，比如种植更多的本地植物或者把猫关在鸟类可能使用的区域之外，这可能会产生很大的影响。可推断出，最后两段我们要保护好迁徙的动物，就要保护好迁徙途中的生态环境。故选D。
推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，作出一定判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话，也可是某几句话，但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理，也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。也就是说，要做到判断有据, 推论有理, 忠实原文。切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面结论。
D
The biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a hiking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.
The portable washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010, while planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he gave up his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bag’s design. By 2012, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.
Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a disadvantage with his invention – dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.
In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out and the clothes are massaged (揉搓) for a few minutes. After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks! What’s even
more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13 liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.
The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when it’s not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!
12. What aroused Ash Newland’s desire to create the Scrubba Wash Bag?
A. Travelers’ requirements. B. His own experience.
C. His dream of invention. D. A traditional washboard.
13. Why wasn’t Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?
A. The bag was not convenient enough.
B. The bag was not popular with travelers.
C. The bag couldn’t wash more clothes at a time.
D. The bag couldn’t be folded up.
14. Which word can best replace the underlined word in paragraph4?
A. Blown. B. Pushed
C. Figured. D. Run.
15. It can be inferred that the improved Wash Pack ______.
A. will lighten the burden on housewives
B. will replace the traditional washing machines
C. will be widely used by more travelers in the future
D. can encourage more people to travel a long distance
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
本文为说明文。本文讲述了Scrubba Wash Pack的来源以及功能。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The portable(手提的) washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010, while planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration(灵感) from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes.”可知：计划攀登乞力马扎罗山时，在2010年Ash Newland发明了便携式洗衣机，由于苦恼于有限的背包空间，他从传统的搓衣板中获得了灵感并创建一个用来洗衣服的包。由此可知，Ash Newland 因为自己的个人经历而发明了这款背包。根据句意可知选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a flaw(缺点) with his invention – dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag!”可知，Newland之所以不满意，是因为他发现这个发明有一个缺点——脏衣服必须用单独的袋子装着，不方便。根据句意可知选A。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前后的“In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly... ”to ensure all air is squeezed out and the clothes are massaged (揉搓) for a few minutes....” 为了使背包发挥更好的作用，把脏衣服和2到3升水一起放在袋子里。然后把袋子紧紧地关闭...”。以及划线词“squeeze”后的宾语air可知，“把袋子关闭好”就是确保空气“挤出”，才能洗衣服。squeeze即（挤出）空气。分析选项A.Blown吹，刮；B. Pushed挤开，推挤； C. Figured计算；D. Run 跑，操作。可知，B项（push）符合题意，故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past! ”可知，有了Scrubba Wash Pack,在国外漫游时寻找洗衣店或为花钱买洗衣机洗衣付费很快就会成为过去。由此可知，在将来Scrubba Wash Pack将会被更多的旅游广泛使用。故选C。

47.阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The McDonnells lived in a small brick house in Larchmont, a suburb of New York City. Jim was foreman of mail carriers at the post office where he had worked for 25 years. Married in 1960, he and Anne were childless.
On the evening of the eleventh anniversary of their marriage, carrying out the garbage, Jim McDonnell slipped on icy steps, and struck his head. A few days later, driving to work, he lost control of the car, hit a telephone pole, and banged his forehead against the windshield. The following day he fell off the stairs, and again he banged his head. Found unconscious, he was hospitalized for three days with a cerebral concussion (脑震荡). One day in the same month, Jim borrowed a friend’s station wagon and drove to Kennedy Airport to pick up Anne’s brother and family. When he returned the borrowed car at 10 p.m., he was unaware that the wallet containing his identification had slipped out of his pocket onto the floor of the car. After that, he was never seen again.
So what really happened to Anne’s husband? During his walk home, Jim had indeed blacked out (昏厥), losing all ability to remember who he was and where he lived. What happened then is unclear. The next thing he knew was that he was in downtown Philadelphia, a city he had never visited before. Seeing signs advertising the services of a James Peters, a real estate broker, Jim adopted James Peters as his own name. He had no past; his only reality was the present. James Peters got a Social Security card, which could be obtained at that time without showing a birth certificate, and took a job in a health club. He next worked at a cancer research institute, cleaning out animal cages. He also got a night-shift job at the P&P luncheonette, where he became well known for his omelets (煎蛋卷), as well as his kindness and good humor.
注意：1．所续写的短文的词数应为150左右；
2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1：
About a month before Christmas 1985, colleagues noticed that Jim had grown unusually quiet and depressed.

Paragraph 2：
Anne had just returned home from Christmas Mass, where she lit candles and prayed for Jim.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】About a month before Christmas 1985, colleagues noticed that Jim had grown unusually quiet and depressed. Something seemed to be turning in his mind. On December 22, Jim had fallen and banged his head. The next day at work he seemed distracted, and late that afternoon he had fallen again, striking his head. On December 24, he awoke feeling confused, yet delighted. After almost 15 years, he knew who he was! He was James A. McDonnell, Jr., of Larchmont, New York. His wife’s name was Anne.
Anne had just returned home from Christmas Mass, where she lit candles and prayed for Jim. A light snow was falling, and she was in a hurry to leave for Christmas dinner at her sister’s before the roads grew slick. Then the doorbell rang. "Oh my," she thought, "this is not a good time for a visitor." Anne opened the door — and saw a man with a full white beard. Immediately she recognized Jim. She couldn’t speak.
To Jim, Anne looked a little older, but prettier too. His heart overflowed.
“Hello, Anne,” he said.

B
At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.
More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody (抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.
“Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. “I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health.
Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.
4. Why did James Harrison decide to donate blood as regularly as he could?
A. Because he wanted to be a celebrity.
B. Because he was saved by the blood donations when he was young.
C. Because his blood is valuable.
D. Because the Rh treatment program in Australia need him.
5. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?
A. Robyn Barlow was sad because millions of babies suffer from blood disease.
B. Robyn Barlow was worried because Harrison may die of losing too much blood.
C. Robyn Barlow was moved by Harrison’s donations.
D. Robyn Barlow was frightened by Harrison’s crazy behavior.
6. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Harrison’s retirement will not affect the Rh program.
B. After Harrison’s retirement, the Rh program will fail.
C. Harrison’s influence to the Rh program will still exist after his retirement.
D. A library has been built for the study of Harrison’s DNA .
7. Which word can best describe Harrison?
A. Patient. B. Diligent.
C. Talented. D. Devoted.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【分析】
本文为记叙文。文章主要叙述Harrison因别人的献血挽救了自己的生命，因此决定18岁以后自己也参与献血。60年里他献血近1200次，他自然产生RH阴性血，其中含有RH阳性抗体，拯救了数百万婴儿。他的献血也促进了未来的澳大利亚抗D计划。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。第一段“At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.” 14岁时，詹姆斯·哈里森做了一次大的胸部手术，手术后他需要13个加仑的血液。有人献血挽救了他的生命，于是他决定一旦年满18岁，就开始尽可能地定期献血。由此可推出，詹姆斯·哈里森决定尽可能地定期献血是因为他小的时有人献血挽救了他。故选B。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线部分的上句“Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies...” 罗宾说“澳大利亚生产的每一瓶抗-D药物都含有詹姆斯的捐献，”Rh项目主管Robyn Barlow说，“这是一件了不起的事情。他救了数百万婴儿”。故划线句子“I cry just thinking about it”是说罗宾•巴洛为詹姆斯的献血而感动。分析选项可知C项（哈里森的捐款感动了罗宾·巴洛）符合题意，故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health.”可知，的医生说应该让詹姆斯·哈里森停止献血了。他们已经延长了他献血的年龄限制，现在为了保护他的健康，他们正在切断他的血液供应。最后一段“Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.” 詹姆斯·哈里森退休对澳大利亚的Rh治疗计划是一个打击。只有160名捐赠者支持这项计划，找到新的献血者是很困难的。但詹姆斯•哈里森退出献血并不意味着他完全退出了比赛。科学家们正在收集和编目他的DNA，以建立一个抗体和白细胞库，这可能是澳大利亚抗D计划的未来。由此可推断出詹姆斯•哈里森退出这个项目，但却促进了科学家收集和编目他的DNA，将要建立一个抗D和白细胞库。由此可推断出哈里森退休后对Rh项目还有影响。分析选项可知C项（哈里森退休后对Rh项目的影响仍然存在）符合题意，故选C。

推理判断题。本文主要叙述是Harrison因别人的献血挽救了自己的生命，因此决定18岁以后自己也参与献血。60年里他献血近1200次，他自然产生RH阴性血，其中含有RH阳性抗体，拯救了数百万婴儿。他的献血精神就是一种奉献精神，挽救了许多人，更感动了许多。文章中献血（即对他人的奉献精神）一词，贯穿全文。分析选项A. Patient.耐心的；B. Diligent. 勤奋的； C. Talented. 天才的；D. Devoted.奉献精神的。故选D。
【点睛】在阅读中我们经常会考查猜测词句题。事实上，阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落都有联系。运用逻辑推理猜测词句是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式，这要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文（各种已知信息）并结合具体的语境推测、判断某些词或短语的词义。例如第2小题词句猜测题。根据划线部分的上句“Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies...” 罗宾说“澳大利亚生产的每一瓶抗-D药物都含有詹姆斯的捐献，”Rh项目主管Robyn Barlow告诉悉尼先驱晨报说。“这是一件了不起的事情。他救了数百万婴儿”。故划线句子“I cry just thinking about it”是说罗宾•巴洛为詹姆斯的献血而感动。分析选项可知C项（哈里森的捐款感动了罗宾•巴洛）符合题意，故选C。
C
Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing.
Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting the places for birds to stop, rest and feed. The scientists studied the migration or flight paths of almost 1,500 species. They decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas.
The major danger for migratory birds is development. Buildings and pavements have covered the places where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another. One of the scientists who worked on the study says “Many of these important places have been lost to land reclamation (开垦) because of urban, industrial and agricultural land expansion”.
The problem, according to scientists, is that many of these small birds die along their migration paths because they don’t have a safe place to feed and rest. There is no place to restore their energy for the next part of their journey. Countries in North Africa, Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time in protecting land. The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds. One species that doesn’t exist now is the Eskimo curlew. “Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,” one of the scientists says.
The researchers say countries need to work together and come up with safe stopping areas for birds that pass through their boundaries. For example, one country might have preserved safe zones for migrating birds. But a neighbor country might not. A bird might die.
One scientist who is not connected with the report tells Los Angeles Times that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds.
He says small changes, like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of the areas birds would be likely to use, could make a big difference.
8. What mainly caused the disappearing of birds’ habitats ?
A. The decrease of awareness to protect birds. B. Natural disasters.
C. Overuse of land by human beings. D. The rising sea level.
9. What may be the main reason for many birds’ death on the way of migration?
A. Exhaustion and hunger. B. Beast attack on the ground.
C. Hunting of humans. D. The long journey.
10. According to the last two paragraphs, how should we protect the migrating birds?
A. By keeping fewer cats or dogs.
B. By restoring their destroyed habitats.
C. By helping change the birds’ migration paths.
D. By preserving the ecological environments on their migration paths.
11 What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To tell us a huge percentage of bird species are in danger.
B. To analyze the reasons for disappearing of birds’ habitats.
C. To offer some solutions to the problem of birds’ habitats.
D. To call on people to protect the birds’ habitats.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D

本文为说明文。研究表明，候鸟迁徙的过程中，由于人类过度开发，城市化建设和工农业的发展，使得候鸟的沿途栖息地遭到了严重的破坏，候鸟因为没有栖息的地方而累死、饿死等，这直接导致大量鸟类物种的消失。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing.”可知，科学家说，一大部分鸟类正处于危险之中，因为它们的栖息地或家园正在消失。以及第三段“Buildings and pavements have covered the places where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another. One of the scientists who worked on the study says “Many of these important places have been lost to land reclamation (开垦) because of urban, industrial and agricultural land expansion”可知，建筑物和人行道覆盖了鸟类从一个地方迁徙到另一个地方时停下来觅食的地方。从事这项研究的一位科学家说，“由于城市、工业和农业用地的扩张，这些重要的地方中的许多已经被土地复垦所取代”。由此可知，鸟类的鸟类栖息地的消失是因为人类过度使用土地导致而成的。分析选项可知C项（Overuse of land by human beings）符合题意，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The problem, according to scientists, is that many of these small birds die along their migration paths because they don’t have a safe place to feed and rest. There is no place to restore their energy for the next part of their journey.” 根据科学家的说法，问题是这些小鸟中的许多都是在迁徙途中死去的，因为它们没有一个安全的地方来进食和休息。可知，许多鸟类在迁徙途中死亡的主要原因是迁徙中因为筋疲力尽和饥饿。由此可知A项Exhaustion and hunger（筋疲力尽和饥饿）符合题意，故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One scientist ...tells Los Angeles Times that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds.” 以及最后一段“like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of the areas birds would be likely to use, could make a big difference.”文章最后两段说，虽然鸟儿的一些栖息地正在改变，但可以做更多的事让迁徙途经城市地区的鸟类安全。结合最后一段列举的两项举措，比如种植更多的本地植物或者把猫关在鸟类可能使用的区域之外，这可能会产生很大的影响。可推断出，最后两段我们要保护好迁徙的动物，就要保护好迁徙途中的生态环境。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。作者写本文的目的就是号召大家一起保护鸟儿的栖息地。文章第一段“Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing.”可知，鸟类正处于危险之中，因为它们的栖息地或家园正在消失。从第二段至第四段叙述了鸟儿的栖息地消失的原因及存在的安全隐患。最后三段就如何让鸟儿的栖息地安全提出了建议，各国需要共同努力，为通过其边界的鸟类提供安全的栖息区域。要从小事做起，并号召大家共同努力一起保护鸟儿的栖息地。可知D项（呼吁人们保护鸟类的栖息地）符合题意，故选D。
【点睛】推理判断试题属于高层次阅读理解题。这种题型包括判断题和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了得出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。如第3小题 属于推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One scientist ...tells Los Angeles Times that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds.” 以及最后一段“like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of the areas birds would be likely to use, could make a big difference.”文章最后两段说，虽然鸟儿的一些栖息地正在改变，但可以做更多的事让迁徙途经城市地区的鸟类安全。结合最后一段列举的两项举措，比如种植更多的本地植物或者把猫关在鸟类可能使用的区域之外，这可能会产生很大的影响。可推断出，最后两段我们要保护好迁徙的动物，就要保护好迁徙途中的生态环境。故选D。
推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，作出一定判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话，也可是某几句话，但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理，也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。也就是说，要做到判断有据, 推论有理, 忠实原文。切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面结论。

The biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a hiking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.
The portable washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010, while planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he gave up his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bag’s design. By 2012, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.
Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a disadvantage with his invention – dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.
In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out and the clothes are massaged (揉搓) for a few minutes. After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks! What’s even
more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13 liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.
The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when it’s not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!
12. What aroused Ash Newland’s desire to create the Scrubba Wash Bag?
A. Travelers’ requirements. B. His own experience.
C. His dream of invention. D. A traditional washboard.
13. Why wasn’t Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?
A. The bag was not convenient enough.
B. The bag was not popular with travelers.
C. The bag couldn’t wash more clothes at a time.
D. The bag couldn’t be folded up.
14. Which word can best replace the underlined word in paragraph4?
A. Blown. B. Pushed
C. Figured. D. Run.
15. It can be inferred that the improved Wash Pack ______.
A. will lighten the burden on housewives
B. will replace the traditional washing machines
C. will be widely used by more travelers in the future
D. can encourage more people to travel a long distance
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
本文为说明文。本文讲述了Scrubba Wash Pack的来源以及功能。

推理判断题。根据第二段“The portable(手提的) washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010, while planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration(灵感) from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes.”可知：计划攀登乞力马扎罗山时，在2010年Ash Newland发明了便携式洗衣机，由于苦恼于有限的背包空间，他从传统的搓衣板中获得了灵感并创建一个用来洗衣服的包。由此可知，Ash Newland 因为自己的个人经历而发明了这款背包。根据句意可知选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a flaw(缺点) with his invention – dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag!”可知，Newland之所以不满意，是因为他发现这个发明有一个缺点——脏衣服必须用单独的袋子装着，不方便。根据句意可知选A。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前后的“In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly... ”to ensure all air is squeezed out and the clothes are massaged (揉搓) for a few minutes....” 为了使背包发挥更好的作用，把脏衣服和2到3升水一起放在袋子里。然后把袋子紧紧地关闭...”。以及划线词“squeeze”后的宾语air可知，“把袋子关闭好”就是确保空气“挤出”，才能洗衣服。squeeze即（挤出）空气。分析选项A.Blown吹，刮；B. Pushed挤开，推挤； C. Figured计算；D. Run 跑，操作。可知，B项（push）符合题意，故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past! ”可知，有了Scrubba Wash Pack,在国外漫游时寻找洗衣店或为花钱买洗衣机洗衣付费很快就会成为过去。由此可知，在将来Scrubba Wash Pack将会被更多的旅游广泛使用。故选C。

本文为夹叙夹议文。文章叙述了一项新的研究，分析了为什么你的花费而不是收入决定你对生活的满意度。
【36题详解】
考查主谓一致及动词的时态。句意：决定你对生活满意程度的不是你挣多少钱，而是你花了多少钱。分析句子可知，本句的主语是“what you spend”，如果主语是一个句子，谓语动词要用单数，本句叙述的是客观事实，要用一般现在时，故填helps
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：毫不奇怪，在保险和手机上的支出却没有增加。分析句子可知，空格在句中作状语，修饰一个句子，要用副词做状语，因为此词在句首，第一个字母要大写，故填Unsurprisingly。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在衡量生活满意度时，总体的支出和收入比个人情况更重要。分析句子可知，空格处的动词的逻辑主语是总体支出和收入（overall spending and income ），与动词measure二者主动关系，要用动词的ing形式，故填measuring。
【39题详解】
考查比较级。句意：年轻人比40多岁的人的生活满意度更高。根据后面的“than”，可知此处要用比较级，故填higher。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：生活条件也很重要。根据后面的系动词（were），可知，本空要用复数形式，故填conditions。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意：那些拥有自己房子的人认为他们的生活满意度高于贫困。根据语境可知，此句是一些人对另一些人的对比。根据上下文可知，本空是代词，填those恰当。故填those。
【42题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意：但收入在2.4万至4.4万英镑之间的家庭如果收入增加，会感到更满意。句中的名词income是收入，可作可数名词，income是元音开头的在，故填an。
【43题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：但收入在2.4万至4.4万英镑之间的家庭如果收入增加，会感到更满意。分析句子可知，空格处在句中作表语，修饰收入增加的人们，修饰人一般要用动词的ed形式。“satisfied”意为“满意的”，故填satisfied。
【44题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：在考虑了年龄、结婚等其他因素后，家庭收入与总体生活满意度之间存在显著关联。本句考查了“between...and...”，意为“在......和......之间”，故填and。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：在考虑了年龄、结婚等其他因素后，没有证据表明家庭收入与总体生活满意度之间存在显著的关联。分析句子可知，空格处要填名词，与age是并列的，故填名词marriage。

47.阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The McDonnells lived in a small brick house in Larchmont, a suburb of New York City. Jim was foreman of mail carriers at the post office where he had worked for 25 years. Married in 1960, he and Anne were childless.
On the evening of the eleventh anniversary of their marriage, carrying out the garbage, Jim McDonnell slipped on icy steps, and struck his head. A few days later, driving to work, he lost control of the car, hit a telephone pole, and banged his forehead against the windshield. The following day he fell off the stairs, and again he banged his head. Found unconscious, he was hospitalized for three days with a cerebral concussion (脑震荡). One day in the same month, Jim borrowed a friend’s station wagon and drove to Kennedy Airport to pick up Anne’s brother and family. When he returned the borrowed car at 10 p.m., he was unaware that the wallet containing his identification had slipped out of his pocket onto the floor of the car. After that, he was never seen again.
So what really happened to Anne’s husband? During his walk home, Jim had indeed blacked out (昏厥), losing all ability to remember who he was and where he lived. What happened then is unclear. The next thing he knew was that he was in downtown Philadelphia, a city he had never visited before. Seeing signs advertising the services of a James Peters, a real estate broker, Jim adopted James Peters as his own name. He had no past; his only reality was the present. James Peters got a Social Security card, which could be obtained at that time without showing a birth certificate, and took a job in a health club. He next worked at a cancer research institute, cleaning out animal cages. He also got a night-shift job at the P&P luncheonette, where he became well known for his omelets (煎蛋卷), as well as his kindness and good humor.
注意：1．所续写的短文的词数应为150左右；
2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。

【答案】About a month before Christmas 1985, colleagues noticed that Jim had grown unusually quiet and depressed. Something seemed to be turning in his mind. On December 22, Jim had fallen and banged his head. The next day at work he seemed distracted, and late that afternoon he had fallen again, striking his head. On December 24, he awoke feeling confused, yet delighted. After almost 15 years, he knew who he was! He was James A. McDonnell, Jr., of Larchmont, New York. His wife’s name was Anne.
Anne had just returned home from Christmas Mass, where she lit candles and prayed for Jim. A light snow was falling, and she was in a hurry to leave for Christmas dinner at her sister’s before the roads grew slick. Then the doorbell rang. "Oh my," she thought, "this is not a good time for a visitor." Anne opened the door — and saw a man with a full white beard. Immediately she recognized Jim. She couldn’t speak.
To Jim, Anne looked a little older, but prettier too. His heart overflowed.
“Hello, Anne,” he said.
