A
I have seen Charlotte waiting for a bus many times.She is in her 80s.She is small and thin.She lives in a nursing home near my home.I have got to know her as I stop and give her a lift any time I see her.Even if I am going in the opposite direction or I have just been out for a pint of milk, I still give her a lift.
Charlotte looks elderly and weak but last time I gave her a lift she told me she'd been on a helicopter ride, even showing photos to prove it! She had gone with her daughter and granddaughter and she looked as if she enjoyed the whole experience! I told her she was braver than I was! I also loved to do that in this technological age, and her family were considerate enough to print the photos out for Charlotte.
I met her recently in Lisburn town center where we both live.She was sitting on a bench with a few items of shopping.I asked her if I could give her a lift home, though she didn't recognize me, as I was out of context for her — that is, I was not in my car.She explained she was going to visit the elderly in a nearby home.She thanked me for my offer but did not want to take me out of my way and was happy to take a bus as usual.I told her it was my pleasure and planned to meet her a few minutes later when I had picked up my shopping.Charlotte happily agreed.I picked her up and

had no trouble
dropped her off at the home.She told me someone else usually brought her home.
Charlotte might look like a thin weak old lady in her 80s but I can see through that, she's young at heart, she can soar high into the sky and at the same time she's grounded enough to visit “the elderly” who may need a visit, company and a friendly face.
When I grow up I want to be as young as Charlotte.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，记叙了一位住在养老院里的名叫Charlotte的年过八旬的老妇人，虽然年纪很大，但是心态不老，敢坐直升机飞上天，也乐意偶尔去隔壁养老院送温暖。作者对Charlotte很是钦佩。 21．Why does the author mention the helicopter ride in Para.2? A．To show Charlotte's passion for life. B．To praise Charlotte's considerate family. C．To explain Charlotte's interest in aircrafts. D．To prove Charlotte's good physical condition.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“she's young at heart, she can soar high into the sky”可知，作者提及此事是为了突显Charlotte对生活的热爱。
22．What can we learn from Para.3?
A．Charlotte recognized me the moment she saw me. B．That day Charlotte took a bus to the nearby home.
C．It was a habit for Charlotte to visit the elderly in the nearby home. D．Later I drove over to pick Charlotte up and brought her back.
解析：选C 细节理解题。由本段最后一句“She told me someone else usually brought her home.”可知，她去这家养老院看望老人并不是一时兴起，而是时常为之。
23．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．Tips on How to Grow Old
B．Happiness and Fun in the Old Age C．Friendship Formed on Car Rides D．A Young Lady Called Charlotte
解析：选D 标题归纳题。由最后一段的“When I grow up I want to be as young as Charlotte.”，以及倒数第二段的“she's young at heart”可知，“young”是作者想要反复强调的概念。另外，这篇文章中的Charlotte这个人物非常鲜明，是作者想要塑造的美好形象。故选D项。
B
The Crowne Plaza Hotel in Copenhagen is offering a free meal to any guest who
3
is able to produce electricity for the hotel on an exercise bike linked to a generator (发电机)．The idea is to get people fit and reduce their carbon footprint.Guests will have to produce at least 10 watt hours of electricity — roughly 15 minutes of cycling for someone of average fitness.Guests staying in the hotel will be given meal tickets worth $36 once they have produced 10 watt hours of electricity.The bicycles will have smartphones attached to the handlebars measuring how much power is being generated for the hotel.
The plan, a world-first, will start on April 19 and run for a year.Only guests staying at the hotel will be able to take part.Frederikke Toemmergaard, hotel spokeswoman, said, “Many of our visitors are business people who enjoy going to the gym.There might be people who will cycle just to get a free meal, but generally I don't think people will take advantage of our programme.”
Copenhagen has a long-standing cycling tradition and 36% of locals cycle to work each day, one of the highest percentages in the world, according to the website visitcopenhagen.dk.US environmental website treehugger.com recently voted Copenhagen the world's best city for cyclists.“Because Copenhagen is strongly connected with cycling, we felt the bicycle would work well as a symbol of the hotel's green profile (形象)．”
If successful, the electric bicycle meal programme will be spread to all Crowne Plaza hotels in the UK, the hotel said in a statement.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了皇冠假日酒店的低碳环保项目：为在宾馆居住并通过骑自行车给宾馆提供电能的顾客提供免费餐。 24．What is the main purpose of the free meal programme? A．To promote the hotel's green concept. B．To make the city known to the world. C．To attract people to the hotel restaurant. D．To get guests to stay longer at the hotel.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第一段的第二句“The idea is to get people fit and reduce their carbon footprint.”可知，该项目旨在让人们健康生活，减少碳的排放量；据此可以判断，该项目的目的是推广酒店的绿色环保观念，故A项正确。
25．How can a participant get a free meal? A．By becoming a professional cyclist. B．By cycling to produce some electricity. C．By linking a smartphone to a bicycle.

D．By monitoring his or her carbon footprint.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第一段的第三句“Guests will have to produce at least 10 watt hours of electricity — roughly 15 minutes of cycling for someone of average fitness.”可知，只有骑大约15分钟至少产生10瓦特电的顾客才可以获得免费餐，故B项正确。
26．Who are most likely to enter for the programme? A．The poor local people. B．The environment activists. C．Health-conscious hotel guests. D．Visitors fond of Copenhagen food.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段的第二句“Only guests staying at the hotel will be able to take part.”并结合第一段的“get people fit”可知，只有骑自行车发电的顾客才能参加该项目；据此可知，有健康意识的住在酒店内的顾客最可能参加该项目，故C项正确。
27．According to Paragraph 3, Copenhagen has one of the world's ________. A．best chain hotels
B．greenest natural environments C．longest bike paths
D．highest rates of people cycling to work
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Copenhagen has a long-standing cycling tradition and 36% of locals cycle to work each day, one of the highest percentages in the world”可知，哥本哈根是世界上骑自行车上班的人数占总人数比重最高的国家，故D项正确。
C
Digital technology — email and smartphones especially — has vastly improved workers' ability to be productive outside of a traditional office.Even so, most white-collar work still happens in an office.One reason is that, according to findings of a new survey (调查) of office workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT company Citrix, most bosses are doubtful about remote working.Half of the workers say their boss doesn't accept it, and only 35 percent say it's tolerated.
Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced (加深) by the same survey, which shows that 43 percent of workers say they've watched TV or a movie while “working” remotely, while 35 percent have done housework, and 28 percent have cooked dinner.
