D．Four.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第一位顾客的评价中的“I own a pair of each color”和文章开头对鞋子颜色的介绍“Color：Black leather/Brown leather/Red leather/Natural leather”可知，这家鞋店的这种鞋共有四种颜色，所以这位顾客有四双这种鞋。故选D项。‎ ‎2．Which customer do you feel gives the most balanced and objective view?‎ A．Customer 1.

D．Worried.‎ 解析：选C　观点态度题。作者在叙述未来生活各个领域的变化时，给予了积极评价，如clean, in just two hours, prefer, conquer等词汇的应用，体现了作者积极乐观的态度。因此选C。‎ C A 7yearold boy in Ohjo tried to sell his toy dog, police in Franklin said.“We heard about the boy from a man who came into the police station and said there was a small child carrying a stuffed animal in a busy street of Franklin，” Franklin Police Officer Steve Dunham said.‎ When officers went to the area, Dunham spotted the boy in front of a shop and got out of his ‎ car to speak with him.“The boy was really nervous at first，” Dunham said.“He told me he was hungry and needed food.”‎ Chief Russ Whitman added the boy said he had not eaten for several days.While other officers went to the child's home, Dunham took the boy to a fast food restaurant and the two had dinner together.‎ The officers who went to investigate the boy's home reported that it was in terrible condition and there were other children there, adding that they found garbage and liquor bottles everywhere.Four other children — 11,12,15 and 17 — also lived in the house.The parents, who were home at the time, were each charged with child neglect.‎ Child Protective Services contacted other family members to pick up the children.The 7yearold watched cartoons at the police station with a policeman for a few hours until a family member picked him up.The boy's parents were not jailed, but the children remained in the care of relatives, according to Franklin Police.St.Vincent De Paul at St.Mary's Church in Franklin is organizing a donation drive to raise money for the family, according to Whitman.‎ ‎“I'm very proud of my officers for what they did, but officers across the nation go above and beyond every single day，” Whitman said.“You can find stories like this everywhere with police officers every day.That's why we get into the business — to help people.”‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了富兰克林的警察帮助一位七岁的男孩的经历以及这次经历带给 Whitman 的感悟。‎ ‎8．Why did the 7yearold boy try to sell his toy dog?‎ A．Because he wanted to get money for food.‎ B．Because he was concerned with the police.‎ C．Because he needed to own a stuffed animal.‎ D．Because he had no time to do some cooking.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He told me he was hungry and needed food.”可知，这个七岁的男孩努力卖他的玩具狗是因为他想得到钱买食物。‎ ‎9．What did Dunham do when other officers went to the boy's home?‎ A．He bought the toy from the boy.‎ B．He took the boy to his own home.‎ C．He took the boy to the police station.‎ D．He bought the boy some food.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“While other officers went to the child's home, Dunham took the boy to a fast food restaurant and the two had dinner together.”可知，当其他的警察去那个男孩的家的时候， Dunham带这个男孩去了快餐店，两人一起吃了饭。故选D。‎ ‎10．How many children are there in the boy's home?‎ A．4. B．5.‎ C．6. D．7.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据文中的“Four other children — 11,12,15 and 17 — also lived in the house.”可知，男孩家中另外还有4个孩子，加上这个男孩一共有5个孩子。‎ ‎11．What makes Whitman proud?‎ A．Helping people in need.‎ B．Going across the nation.‎ C．Beginning the business.‎ D．Finding the parents guilty.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据最后一段“I'm very proud of my officers for what they ...That's why we get into the business — to help people.”可知，使Whitman感到自豪的是帮助那些有需要的人。‎ D Petrol and diesel cars may still dominate our roads, but their days are numbered.A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 per cent of daily car journeys in the US.That figure could rise to 98 per cent by 2020.‎ One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety” — drivers' concerns about running out of juice on a journey.While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed.That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.‎ Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years.Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their large price tags drove customers away.Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars is starting to persuade critics.Plugin cars will soon give internal combustion engine models a run for their money.‎ As well as advancements on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies.Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrolpowered outboard motors took over.Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back.Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery powered planes.The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.‎ Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions.Were the US to act on the study's findings and replace 87 per cent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 per cent.However, because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles, they cannot claim to be completely emissionfree.That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy ‎ sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了汽油和柴油车将逐步被电动汽车代替以及电动交通工具在未来的发展。‎ ‎12．Which is the best title for this passage?‎ A．My Dream Car B．History of Electric Cars C．Problems with Petrol Cars D．Driving into the Future 解析：选D　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了汽油和柴油车将逐步被电动汽车代替以及电动交通工具在未来的发展。D项“驶向未来”形象地概括了文章的主旨，故选D项。‎ ‎13．As used in Paragraph 2, the underlined word “hurdle” means________.‎ A．aim B．barrier C．consequence D．step 解析：选B　词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“drivers' concerns about running out of juice on a journey”可知，司机担心在路上没电的问题。因此，这是电动汽车普及的一个障碍，故选B项。‎ ‎14．In the past, why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars?‎ A．They were not good value.‎ B．They were very poorly made.‎ C．They were not widely promoted.‎ D．They couldn't travel at a high speed.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第三段可知，人们是被当时这种电动汽车的价格吓跑的；随着电池容量、可充电次数的增加、汽车性能的改善和价格的优化，这一代电动汽车已经开始吸引消费者购买了。这说明以前的电动汽车在各方面还不够完善，人们认为不值那个价钱。故选A项。‎ ‎15．What is the function of Paragraph 4?‎ A．To introduce the history of electric travel.‎ B．To explain why the world needs more electric cars.‎ C．To show why more people have interest in electric cars.‎ D．To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.‎ 解析：选D　段落大意题。根据第四段第一句中的“electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies”可知，除了在公路上，其他地方也可以使用电动交通工具。故选D项。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Empathy, the Key to Being Kind In science class, your teacher tells everyone to find a partner for a project.Out of the corner of your eye, you notice one girl sitting alone and not making eye contact with anyone.You think about asking her to be your partner, but you're afraid people will think you're uncool.You don't reach out to them.__1__‎ Empathy is being able to understand and actually feel what someone else is feeling.For some people, this comes naturally; for others, it takes a bit more work.__2__ When you practice being empathetic, it gets easier to make kindness part of your everyday life.If you can understand why people are feeling down, you'll want to help them.Here are some ideas that can help you.‎ ‎ __3__ Not being able to find a group in class might not seem like a big deal — but part of being kind is noticing when someone seems sad, hurt or uncomfortable.After all, you have to notice how people feel in order to feel empathy and want to help them!‎ When you're trying to make kindness second nature, really getting other people's feelings is important.__4__ Think about a time when you felt that way.Didn't you wish someone would reach out to you? If someone had offered you a few words of comfort, wouldn't it have made you feel so much happier?‎ So, when you find people around you who are feeling down next time, do not hesitate to put yourself in their shoes and reach out to them with a kind gesture.__5__ There is always a time when you expect others to relate to you and feel what you feel.‎ A．And your kindness will be finally rewarded.‎ B．But empathy is super important to being kind.‎ C．Be open to learning more about what you don't understand.‎ D．One way to practice empathy is to pay attention to the people around you.‎ E．However, you never know showing empathy may make all the difference to her.‎ F．You don't have to have a similar background to someone else to feel empathy for them.‎ G．Whenever you find someone might be feeling lonely or sad, put yourself in his shoes.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“移情”的作用和定义，并介绍了如何让自己更好地帮助别人、理解别人。‎ ‎1．选E　分析文章结构可知，本空用来引入本文的话题，在这里起到承上启下的作用。结合标题“Empathy, the Key to Being Kind”可知，空处说明你可以通过“移情”解决问题，引出对“移情”的作用的介绍，所以选E项。‎ ‎2．选B　根据空后一句中的“it gets easier to make kindness part of your everyday life”可以判断，“移情”对使善良成为每日生活的一部分非常重要，故B项正确。‎ ‎3．选D　根据本段内容可知，本段介绍的是如何实现“移情”；结合本段尾句可知，本段主要陈述“关注周围的人”这一方法，故D项正确。‎ ‎4．选G　根据空前的“really getting other people's feelings”和空后的“Think about a time ‎ when you felt that way.”可知，理解别人的情感十分重要，据此可以判断，G项与此处匹配。‎ ‎5．选A　根据空前一句中的“do not hesitate ...with a kind gesture”及空后一句可知，当你遇到沮丧的人时，应当毫不犹豫地设身处地为他们着想并伸出援助之手，因为总会有一些时候，你也期待别人能理解你。据此可以判断，A项符合语境。‎
