【甘肃省嘉峪关市一中2021模拟】A
Zoe Chambers was a successful PR (Public Relations) consultant and life was going well-she had a great job, a beautiful flat and a busy social life in London. Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work. “The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through,” she said. “After everything I’d done for the company, they dismissed me by text! I was so angry and I just didn’t feel like looking for another job. I hated everything about the city and my life.”
Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old schoolfriend, Kathy, to come and stay. Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in northwest Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later, she is still on the farm.
“The moment I arrived at Kathy’s farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay,” said Zoe. “Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless.”
Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. “It’s a hard life, physically very tiring,” she says. “In London I was stressed and often mentally exhausted. But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all I need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy’s wonderful dinners.”
Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor. Since Christmas, she has been helping with the lambing-watching a lamb being born is unbelievable, she says, “It’s one of the most moving experiences I’ve ever had. I could never go back to city life now.”
56. The most important reason why Zoe went to visit Kathy’s farm is that .
A. Zoe lost her job as a PR consultant
B. Kathy persuaded her to do so
C. Zoe got tired of the city life
D. Zoe loved Wales more than London
57. How does Zoe feel about the country life according to the passage?
A. Tiresome and troublesome. B. Romantic and peaceful.
C. Mentally exhausting but healthy. D. Physically tiring but rewarding.
58. Which of the following is closest to the main idea of the passage?
A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. A misfortune may turn out a blessing.
D. Kill two birds with one stoneboring

He had taken a pass from Biles, had run 40 yards and had beaten at least 3 Valencia defenders when Tores almost brought him down with a hard tackle(拥抱), Good got past him somehow, shot over the head of the goal-keeper and scored.

1. A。细节题。依据第1段 When Gomez scored the first goal 及最终一段 Good got past him somehow, shot over the head of the goal-keeper and scored. Thus the match was over… 可知此题答案为 A。
2. A。细节推断题。依据第3段 …left the field in the 35th minute. He had hurt his ankle badly earlier… 可推断出 Tarleston 在竞赛进行不到35分钟时就受了伤，比较 A、B、C、D 四项可知答案只能是 A。
3. B。细节题。依据 …had beaten at least 3 Valencia defenders when Tores almost bought him down with a hard tackle, Good got past him somehow, shot… 可知 B 项说法是正确的；文章第1段第3句是说 Jimernez 差点就射了门，所以 A 项说法不正确；依据原文可知 Gomez 是 Valencia 队的，而 Bobby Good 是Livepool 队的，所以 C、D 两项说法是错误的。因此此题答案为 B。

He had taken a pass from Biles 可知 Bobby Good 和 Biles 属于 Livepool 队；再依据 …when Tores almost brought him down with a hard tackle, Good got past him somehow… 可知 Tores 属于 Volencia 队，由此可知答案为 B。(做此题时若能一边看文章一边画个草图，确定会有意想不到的效果。)

【甘肃省嘉峪关市一中2021模拟】B
The quality of drinking water in Shanghai will meet European Union standard by 2010 and, a decade later, citizens in Shanghai will drink the best water in the world.
These were the goals set out by the Shanghai Water Authority. With the city’s population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to boom by 2022, Chen Yin, an official in the water authority, said Shanghai’s water consumption will not increase from its present amount.
Zhang Yue, director of the Urban Construction Division under the Ministry of Construction, said, “Shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these ambitions. They will not be easy to achieve.”He said water saving will help keep the sustainable development of China’s economy.
Saving one cubic meter of water means saving the city’s infrastructure（基础设施）costs by 10,000 Yuan. Last year, Shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustment of industrial structure or the employment of new technology.
“The aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortages,” Chen said. “The abundant surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improper use of water.”
Shanghai lacks drinkable water. The Huangpu River, which supplies 80 percent of the city’s drinkable water, is nearing exhaustion.The city, therefore, has been exploring new sources from the Yangtze River and growing forests along it to conserve quality water.
Besides penning regulations, the authority is popularizing technology among the public to efficiently cut the amount of water used.
At present, the city has 600,000 family toilets, each using 13 liters of water per flush. These are to be renovated（整修）to use only 9 liters of water per flush.The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households – at a cost of 40 Yuan each.In three years, all the toilets will be renovated, which saves the city nearly 15 million Yuan every year in water conservation.
Another task the city is engaged in is the treatment of sewage（污水）to improve the water environment.At present the city can only treat 44 percent of its daily 5.04 million tons of waste water. To meet the total demand, 27 more sewage treatment factories are to be established with an estimated investment of 18 billion Yuan.
59．People in Shanghai get their daily water mainly from _______now
A．the underground B．the rain
C．the Yangtze River D．the Huangpu River
60．According to the passage, some people have the wrong opinion of using water because .
A．the renovating of family toilets will save plenty of water
B．about half of waste water has been treated already
C．advanced technology makes people use water as much as possible
D．there is plenty surface water and large amount of rain at present
61．Which group of measures are all mentioned in the passage to save water?
a．improve drinking water quality
b．change some industrial structure
c．introduce or use some new technology
d．speed the economic development of Shanghai
e．renovate some family toilets
f．build more sewage treatment factories
A．a, b, c, d B．b, c, e, f
C．b, c, d, e D．a, b, e, f
62．We can infer from the passage that .
A．the boom of economy will need a larger amount of water in the future
B．citizens today in Shanghai drink the best quality of water in the world
C．not everyone today in Shanghai is aware of water shortage
D．all the family toilets will be renovated to save water within 3 years
