第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) A

Dear Coach， I have been out of work for almost six months and things are starting to get very tough for me. I am practically living out of my savings. I have been looking for a job, but things are really bad and I cannot find a single person who wants to hire me. I know that the main problem is that I do not have a degree. I want to go back to school and get my degree, but I also need a job now. I owe money to some people who have been helping me. Because I am out of work, I cannot pay them back. What do you think I should do? I need to find a job as quickly as possible, and want to know what else to do to get people to give me a chance to work for them. The Unemployed Dear Unemployed， Before you get yourself in a really bad situation, you need to stop borrowing money from other people. If you continue doing that, you will be deep in debt and the situation will get even worse for you. The next thing you need to do is look for a job depending on your abilities, skills, and experience. By doing that, you will be increasing your chances of finding a job that suits you best. And the last thing I will suggest is that you should stop feeling sorry for yourself and continue working hard to get a job that you need. Borrowing money, complaining, and feeling bad for your situation will do no good to you. Stay strong and start showing the world what you can offer. I promise if you work hard and never give up, you will soon find the job that you are dreaming of. And while you are doing it, think about getting your degree as well because it will help you to become more challenging. Try those tips.

22．The Unemployed couldn't find a job mainly because ________. A．he always borrowed money B．he didn't have a degree C．he didn't work well

D．he didn't get on well with others

解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第一封信中的“I know that the main problem is that I do not have a degree.”可知，失业者之所以找不到工作主要是因为他没有学位。

23．The Coach told the Unemployed to stop borrowing money so as to ________. A．save more money

B．be able to get back to school C．avoid running into deep debt D．prevent people laughing at him

British shoppers will take home about 6 billion fewer single-use plastic bags this year because the government introduced a 5p charge, according to data published July 30. The 5p charge has resulted in donations of more than ￡29 million from retailers toward charities (慈善机构) and community groups.

About 8 million tonnes of plastic pollutes the oceans each year, and experts judge the plastic is swallowed by 31 species of marine (海生的) mammals and some 100 species of seabirds.

“Taking six billion plastic bags out of circulation is fantastic

news for all of us — it will mean our precious marine life is safer, our communities are cleaner, and future generations won't suffer from mountains of plastic taking hundreds of years to break down in landfill sites，” UK Environment Minister Thérèse Coffey said. “The 5p charge has clearly been a huge success — not only for our environment but for

good causes across the country that have benefited from an impressive ￡29 million raised. It shows small actions can make the biggest difference, but we must not be complacent as there is always more we can all do to reduce waste and recycle what we use.”

More than 7 billion carrier bags were issued by seven leading retailers in 2014, but that number has fallen to slightly more than 500 million in the first six months of the 5p charge for single-use carrier bags introduced in October 2015.

“We are delighted to see that the bag charge in England is showing positive results. This is a significant reduction that will benefit the environment as a whole, and our sea life in particular，” said Dr. Sue Kinsey, a technical specialist. “There is always more that we can do, and we encourage everyone to join in our Great British Beach Clean to help keep our coastlines clean.”

语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。自英国政府出台对一次性塑料袋收费5便士的政策以来，消费者使用的塑料袋大大减少了。5便士政策对环境、海洋生物、慈善等都起着积极的作用。

24．According to the passage, which will charities directly benefit from? A．Cleaner communities. B．Less use of plastic bags. C．Donations from retailers. D．The improved environment.

解析：选C 细节理解题。解答此题一定要注意题干中的directly“直接地”。根据第一段中的“donations of more than ￡29 million from retailers toward charities (慈善机构) and community groups”可知，慈善机构可以直接从零售商的捐赠中获益。

25．What does the underlined word “complacent” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Confident. C．Disappointed.

B．Worried. D．Content.

解析：选D 词义猜测题。画线词所在句意为“这表明小小的行动能产生最大的影响，但是我们一定不能________，因为总有更多我们都能做的事来减少浪费和回收利用我们的用品”，根据but的转折和“as there is always more we can all do”可知，此处指的是我们不能自满，故选D。

26．What did Thérèse Coffey and Dr. Sue Kinsey both agree with? A．The 5p charge is far from a success. B．Paying for plastic bags is multi-beneficial. C．Future generations can enjoy a plastic-free life.

D．Everyone should join environment-protecting organizations.

解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“it will mean our precious marine life is safer,

our communities are cleaner, and future generations won't suffer from mountains of plastic”和第五段中的“This is a significant reduction that will benefit the environment as a whole, and our sea life in particular”可知，她们都认为对塑料袋收费有多种好处(海洋生物更安全、社区更干净等)，故B项表述与之相符。

27．Which may be the best title of the passage? A．Plastic Bags Harm the Environment a Lot B．Benefits from Less Use of Plastic Bags C．Measures Taken to Reduce Use of Plastic Bags D．5p Charge Sees Great Reduction of Plastic Bags

解析：选D 标题归纳题。本文的主旨句是第一段的第一句“British shoppers will take home about 6 billion fewer single-use plastic bags this year because the government introduced a 5p charge ...”，故D项“5便士收费政策目睹了塑料袋使用的大大减少”作标题最佳。

(2018·河北衡水一中模拟)A supermarket checkout assistant was praised after refusing to serve a shopper who was talking on her mobile phone.

Sainsbury was forced to apologize to the customer who complained when she was told her goods would not be scanned unless she hung up. Jo Clarke, 26, said, “I couldn't believe how rude she was. When did she have the right to given me a lecture on checkout etiquette? I won't be shopping there again.”

But users of social media sites and Internet forums (论坛) were very angry that the store had given in. “Perhaps this is a turning point for mobile phone users everywhere. When chatting, keep your eye on the people around you. That includes people trying to serve you, other road and pavement users and especially people behind you on the stairs，” said a typical post.

“It's about time checkout staff fought back at these people incessantly (不停地) chattering on their phones. They can drive anyone crazy. It's rude and annoying. I often want to grab someone's phone and throw it as far as I can, and I am not even a checkout girl, just a passer-by，” said another.

Will Norman of the think tank The Young Foundation said that the majority of people still valued good manners very highly. “Being polite to each other is part of the oil which makes communities work. In our research taxi drivers and shop workers described being invisible which is fine as a one-off but day after day it makes people feel undervalued. It is quite simply rude，” he said.

“New rules of conduct take a while to develop and we are still in a development stage
