限时精练五45分钟综合性过关小练习(四)‎ 注意事项:‎ ‎1. 答题前,考生务必将学校、班级、姓名写在密封线内。‎ ‎2. 请将选择题的答案根据老师批改需要填写在试卷第3页所附的答题栏内。‎ 一、 阅读理解 请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。‎ A All around the world, shoppers flock to Wal-Mart to buy everything. In Texas, they come for another reason: to see the wind turbine(涡轮机), which supplies 5% of the store’s electricity. It along with other facilities, such as exterior walls coated with heat-reflective paint, makes this Wal-Mart a green giant.‎ The laws of economics suggest that Wal-Mart, with 5,200 stores worldwide, influences everything including the price of all kinds of goods. It throws its weight behind environmental responsibility, and the impact could be amazing. “One little change in product packaging could save 1, 500 trees,” says Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott. “If everybody saves 1,500 trees or 50 barrels of oil, at the end of the day you have made a huge difference.” ‎ Scott wants Wal-Mart to do its part too. He has promised to cut the existing greenhouse-gas emissions(排放) over the next few years and promised to construct new stores that are more efficient. He wants Wal-Mart’s fleet(车队) of more than 7,000 trucks to get twice as many miles per gallon by 2015. Factories that show Wal-Mart they’re cutting air pollution will get preferential treatment in the supply chain. Wal-Mart says it’s working with consumer-product manufacturers to reduce their packaging and will reward them if they do so.‎ Some people may doubt it is a bid to attract attention from Wal-Mart’s ‎ controversial labor and health-insurance practices. But it’s not just window dressing, because Wal-Mart sees profits in going green. Scott says, “This is a business philosophy, not a social philosophy. We don’t go where we don’t think there’s a great interest in change.”  ‎ Like Bill Gates, who started his charitable foundation, Scott happens to be promoting Wal-Mart’s image at a time when his company’s reputation is declining. He acknowledges that he launched the plan partly to shield(保护,庇护)Wal-Mart from bad press about its contribution to global warming. “By doing what we’re doing today, we avoid the headline risks that are going to come for people who did not do anything,” he says. “At some point businesses will be held responsible for the actions they take.” Meanwhile, should Wal-Mart succeed in shrinking its environmental footprint and lowering prices for green products, both the planet and the company will profit.‎ ‎(　　)1. We can infer from the passage that 　　　　. ‎ A. Lee Scott is Wal-Mart’s CEO B. there are 5,200 stores in the world C. Wal-Mart has a great influence on the world market D. Wal-Mart has more than 7,000 trucks all over the world ‎(　　)2. What does the underlined sentence “This is a business philosophy, not a social philosophy.” mean in the fourth paragraph?‎ A. Wal-Mart predicts huge profits in its green activity.‎ B. Wal-Mart’s green activity is just window dressing.‎ C. Wal-Mart aims to solve its health-insurance practices.‎ D. Wal-Mart doesn’t have any social responsibility at all.‎ ‎(　　)3. What will Wal-Mart probably do in the future?‎ A. Reduce air pollution in its present stores.‎ B. Give favorable treatment to its consumers.‎ C. Ask the factories to reduce their packaging.‎ D. Demand the fleet of trucks to use more fuel than before.‎ ‎(　　)4. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?‎ A. Provide the background of the green plan.‎ B. Stress the purpose of Wal-Mart’s green plan.‎ C. Present the risk that Wal-Mart is facing nowadays.‎ D. Analyze the similarity between Bill Gates and Scott.‎ B Reducing the amount of salt in our diets could save nearly 20,000 lives in the UK every year, according to researchers.‎ The recommended maximum daily intake for adults is ‎6 g in the UK, although just last month the World Health Organization (WHO) revised this down to ‎5 g. Yet according to figures from the British Heart Foundation, men consume around ‎9.7 g a day, while women have ‎7.7 g.‎ Fast Food Salt Content Original chicken ‎2.9 g‎ per portion(份)‎ Spicy crayfish ‎3.5 g‎ per portion Large chips ‎1 g‎ per portion McDonald’s Big Mac ‎2.1 g‎ per portion ‎　　Now researchers at three universities, including Harvard Medical School, have revealed the dramatic effect reducing salt could have on death rates by using computer models. They estimated that reducing salt intake to 6 g would save 500,000 to 850,000 lives in the US over the next decade.‎ British doctor Ian Campbell, medical director of charity Weight Concern, told Mail Online: Salt is a big problem in the UK too. It’s a silent killer. Over time consuming too much of it increases the risk of high blood pressure, which can lead to heart attacks. About 80 per cent of our salt intake comes from processed foods, so it can be difficult to avoid.‎ Many people are unaware of where salt is hidden, such as bread, soups, ready meals, and even breakfast cereals(麦片). The Government approach has been to encourage food companies to cut the amount of salt in their products. There has been a reduction but it is taking too long. The Food Standards Agency should consider setting compulsory maximum levels for salt.‎ Victoria Taylor, Senior Dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, added: Eating too much salt may raise your blood pressure and having high blood pressure increases your risk of developing heart disease.‎ The Government has worked with the food industry to reduce the amount of salt in our food and make labels clearer. But there is still work to be done by everyone because the majority of Brits are still consuming more salt than they should be.‎ ‎(　　)5. Which of the following in the table reaches the daily maximum amount of salt recommended by the WHO?‎ A. A large chips and a McDonald’s Big Mac.‎ B. A McDonald’s Big Mac and an original chicken.‎ C. An original chicken and a spicy crayfish.‎ D. A spicy crayfish and a large chips.‎ ‎(　　)6. According to the passage, when people eat processed food they 　　　　. ‎ A. should add a little salt 　B. needn’t add salt C. may ruin their health 　D. can have risks of heart attacks ‎(　　)7. To solve the problem of eating too much salt, Ian Campbell advises　　　　. ‎ A. having healthier breakfast B. punishing the illegal food companies C. reducing the amount of processed food D. making laws about maximum levels for salt ‎(　　)8. The last paragraph emphasizes the importance of　　　　. ‎ A. making food labels clearer B. monitoring the food industry C. promoting the awareness of salt content D. strengthening the government’s functions 二、 任务型阅读 请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。‎ 注意:每个空格只填1个单词。‎ ‎“Happiness Advantage” Effect In July 2010 Burt’s Bees, a personal-care products company, was going through enormous change as it began a global expansion into 19 new countries. In this kind of high-pressure situation, many leaders bother their assistants with frequent meetings or flood their inboxes with urgent demands. In doing so, managers lift everyone’s anxiety level, which activates the part of the brain that processes ‎ threats and steals resources from the prefrontal cortex(大脑皮层), which is responsible for effective problem-solving.‎ Burt’s Bees’s then-CEO, John Wolfgang, took a different approach. Each day, he’d send out an e-mail praising a team member for work related to global marketing. He’d interrupt his own presentations to remind his managers to talk with their teams about the company’s values. He asked me to further a three-hour session with employees on happiness in the course of the expansion effort. As one member of the senior team told me a year later, Wolfgang’s emphasis on developing positive leadership kept his managers actively involved and loyal as they successfully transformed the company into a global one.‎ That outcome shouldn’t surprise us. Research shows that when people work with a positive mindset(思维模式), performance on nearly every level—productivity, creativity, involvement—improves. Yet happiness is perhaps the most misunderstood driver of performance. For one, most people believe that success comes before happiness. “Once I get a promotion, I’ll be happy,” they think. Or, “Once I hit my sales target, I’ll feel great.” But because success is a moving target—as soon as you hit your target, you raise it again—the happiness that results from success does not last long.‎ In fact, it works the other way around: People who have a positive mindset perform better in the face of challenge. I call this the “happiness advantage”—every business outcome shows improvement when the brain is positive. I’ve observed this effect in my role as a researcher and lecturer in 48 countries on the connection between employee happiness and success. And I’m not alone: In an analysis of 225 academic studies, researchers found strong evidence of cause-and-effect relationship between life satisfaction and successful business outcomes.‎ Another common misunderstanding is that our genetics, our environment, or a combination of the two determines how happy we are. To be sure, both factors have ‎ an impact. But one’s general sense of well-being is surprisingly unstable. The habits you form, the way you interact with colleagues, how you think about stress—all these can be managed to increase your happiness and your chances of success.‎ 三、 书面表达 最近,你校成立了一个心理咨询室,取名为“心灵的港湾(Harbor for Your Soul)”。该咨询室配有一名心理咨询师,旨在为全校学生提供专业的心理咨询服务。请你根据以下提示,为校英语墙报写一篇150词左右的报道。‎ 名称 心灵的港湾(Harbor for Your Soul)‎ 成立时间 上周三 地点 图书楼2楼 开放时间 每周一、二、四下午5:00-6:00‎ 原因 目前高中生的学习负担越来越重,心理问题日益突出 目的 提供心理指导,缓解心理压力,促进身心健康发展 你的看法 ‎……‎ ‎　　参考词汇:心理咨询室 psychological counseling room;心理咨询师 psychologist ‎  ‎ ‎45分钟综合性过关小练习(四)‎ 一、 阅读理解 A 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了沃尔玛公司推行了绿色计划，实施节能减排。这样做一方面能够挽回他们日益下滑的公众形象，另一方面也是为了更多地承担社会责任。这对沃尔玛公司和地球来说都是有好处的。‎ ‎1.
