三.阅读理解

　　
　　University of Maryland student Ben Simon and his friends couldn’t stand to see good food thrown out on their campus.“We basically noticed that some of the extra food from the dining hall was going to waste at the end of the day.And we met with the dining services and asked them whether it would be okay if instead of throwing out the food we would donate it.And they were on board，” he said.
　　So 18 months ago，the students began what they call the Food Recovery Network.Each night，volunteers would show up at a campus dining hall to pick up leftovers and deliver them to area shelters and food banks.So far，they have donated more than 23 000 kilos of food that would otherwise have been thrown out.
　　Nationwide，$165 billion worth of food is wasted each year，according to the National Resources Defense Council.Spokesman Bob Keefe says that is about 40% of the country’s entire food production.“If we can reduce our waste in this country by 15%，we can feed 25 million hungry Americans.That is a huge benefit.That is what programs like this Food Recovery Network are doing，” he said.
　　Christian Life Center is one of the beneficiaries (受益者) of the students’ efforts.Ben Slye，the senior pastor (牧师)，said，“It has been just amazing to see these students take their own time，their own vehicles and own gas money and be able to make an effort like this.Each week we are able with this food probably to feed over hundred people.”
　　The University of Maryland’s Food Recovery Network now has 200 volunteers and the program has expanded to 18 schools across the country.“I want to grow 18 chapters to a thousand chapters within five years.And once we get to the Food Recovery Nation being at every college campus in America，we want to expand to restaurants and farms.” said Simon.
　　The volunteers are committed to making that happen.
　　1.The dining services in University of Maryland________.
　　A.threw out good food on the campus
　　B.supported the volunteers’ job
　　C.enjoyed the talk with the students
　　D.donated their leftovers to the poor
　　2.Volunteers from the Food Recovery Network________.
　　A.started the Food Recovery Network two years ago
　　B.delivered leftovers as well as money to shelters
　　C.helped to solve the hunger issues in America
　　D.donated leftovers to avoid food waste
　　3.Ben Slye’s attitude toward the volunteers’ effort was that of________.
　　A.unconcern　　　　　 B.doubt
　　C.appreciation　 D.opposition
　　4.We can learn from the text that________.
　　A.over 40% of the country’s entire food is wasted each year
　　B.altogether 25 million Americans suffer from hunger nowadays
　　C.Simon aims to expand the program to restaurants and farms
　　D.every college has started the Food Recovery Network
　　5.What can be the best title for the text?

　　答案：　D
　　2.解析：　句意为：昨天发生在上海的一场火灾造成至少5人死亡，这真是让人震惊的事情。“a shock”表示“一件让人震惊的事情”，故第一空用不定冠词a;“a fire”泛指“一场火灾”，故第二空也用不定冠词a。
　　答案：　A

　　答案：　A
　　4.解析：　考查情态动词。句意为：按照协议，如果你没有达到目标，你将会被罚款。shall用于第二、三人称，表示说话人给对方的承诺、警告、命令等，符合句意。

　　8.解析：　考查定语从句。句意为：他最好的(那部)电影，获得了好几个奖，内容是关于甘地的生活。分析句子结构可知，空处应为非限制性定语从句的引导词，从句缺少主语，且先行词为物，故用which。
　　答案：　D
　　9.解析：　考查非谓语动词。more than ten people与trap构成逻辑上的被动关系，需用被动语态，可选B、C;再根据句中的has saved，知trap动作已经完成，故用过去分词。句意为：自从雅安地震发生以来，这个救援小队已经从倒塌的建筑物下救出了10多个人。
　　答案：　C
　　10.解析：　考查虚拟语气以及as if的用法。根据句中的can be adjusted，知这些队员现在还没在太空，是一个与现在事实相反的虚拟语气，故用were。句意为：这些太空服可以调节以便队员们能模仿不同级别的引力，好像他们在太空似的。
　　答案：　C
　　11.解析：　句意为：战争中他发脾气且损害了健康;但现在两样都没有了。根据题干中的temper和health，可知设空处指的是两者，故排除D项;each指两者或两者以上的每个，不合句意;题干中出现了never，故排除表否定的neither;never与either连用，表示全部否定，故为正确答案。
　　答案：　B
　　12.解析：　考查动词辨析。根据前一句中的内容可知父母想给孩子提供“庇护”，让他们避免各种危险，无论是真实的，还是想象的。A项表示“认出;发现”，B项表示“开除;解散”，D项表示“区分”，都不符合语意。

　　答案：　D
　　15.解析：　考查交际用语。孩子因在工作中表现得好而得到提升，妈妈应该表示“祝贺”，所以选A。
