(2017·南昌十校二模)American real estate (房地產(chǎn)) tycoon Donald Trump, whose election as US president surprised many around the world, has been unsurprisingly named Time?magazine's “Person of the Year” for 2016.
Trump said while responding to the news, “It means a lot, especially me growing up reading Time?magazine. And it's a very important magazine, and I've been lucky enough to be on the cover many times this year — and last year.But I consider this a very, very great honor.”
Trump has long been obsessed_with?having his face on the cover of magazines, something that happened more and more often as he won early polls, then Republican primaries, then the nomination, then the presidency. Trump keeps piles of these magazines in his office and with this mindset, Time's “Person of the Year” became Trump's long-cherished wish.
Although the magazine featured Trump several times on its cover, it passed on naming him “Person of the Year” for 2015.Instead, it selected German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whom the magazine credited with opening her nation's border to hundreds of thousands of refugees (難民) and managing Europe's debt crisis.Trump did not ?take that news well.“I told you @ TIME Magazine would never pick me as ‘Person of the Year’?in spite of being the big favorite.They picked the person who is ruining Germany，”?he said on Twitter soon after the news was announced.
Time?managing editor Nancy Gibbs said that the decision in 2016 was easy.This title ?goes to a newsmaker who has influenced events for better or for worse.“When have we ever seen a single individual who has so defied (違背) expectations ... beaten not one but two political parties on the way to winning an election ... I don't think that we have ever seen one person, operating in such an unconventional way, have an impact on the events of the year quite like this，”?Gibbs said.

(2017·江西南昌第一次模擬)People who possess high self-esteem are able to commit better and produce a greater bond in relationships with others.Dr.Douglas feels that most people do not value themselves, but with love and self-respect anyone can be above normality and grasp success with the family, the office, or others.
We have become too reliant on intelligence, beauty, and money for our own self-esteem.The loss of esteem reduces the will and ability to set and reach goals.In a series of reading Douglas teaches how to avoid negative statements, how to change them into self-facing behavior, and how to take charge of your mental attitude.Where other motivational and self-help work stops with the theoretical plan for success, Douglas takes everyday examples and puts them into his books. From raising children who believe in themselves to using self-esteem to help bridge the gap in the workplace, he gives readers concrete solutions to the problems that might ruin their interpersonal relations.
Self-esteem building comes from filling your thoughts with positive affirmations (肯定) and learning to react to failures with motivation instead of self-destruction.These lessons are valuable for anyone who feels that life is even slightly out of control.People who feel they have adequate esteem can learn to use it to make their success grander, faster, and more beneficial for others.Douglas approaches this process of self-development as a means of more than creating good things for the individual but also for setting up keys for influencing good things for others.
For more than thirty years, Dr.Douglas has addressed more than two million people on topics from time management to speaking effectively to raising drug-free children.He is the author of fifteen books, including How?to?Make?a?Habit?of?Succeeding.

(2018屆高三·湖北省七市教科研協(xié)作體聯(lián)考)
For many people?who live in cities, parks are an important part of the landscape.They provide a place for people to relax and play sports, as well as a shelter from the often severe environment of a city. What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits.
One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen, which humans need to breathe.According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide that a typical car emits?in 11,000 miles of driving.Parks also make cities cooler.Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect: building materials such as metal and concrete (混凝土) absorb much more of the sun's heat and release (釋放) it much more quickly than organic surfaces like trees and grass.Because city landscapes contain so much of these building materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas.Parks and other green spaces help to lessen the Urban Heat Island Effect.
Unfortunately,?many cities cannot easily create more parks because most land is already being used for buildings, roads, parking lots, and other essential parts of the urban environment.However, cities could benefit from many of the positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space: rooftop gardens.While most people would not think of starting a garden on their roof, human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years.Some rooftop gardens are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment (投資) of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work.
Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks and garden spaces, but without taking up the much-needed land.In the summer, rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun, which can significantly reduce cooling bills. In the winter, gardens help control the heat that materials like brick and concrete release so quickly, leading to savings on heating bills.Rooftop vegetable and herb gardens can also provide fresh food for city settlers, making their diets healthier.Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy, they are also a smart environmental investment.
32.The underlined word “emits”?in the second paragraph probably means “________”．
A．carries away B．takes up
C．gives out D．breathes in
解析：選C 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上文中的“an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide”可知，一英畝的樹吸收的二氧化碳的量和一輛普通的汽車行駛11 000英里排放的二氧化碳的量是相等的。由此可知，emit與give out 的意思相同，表示“釋放；散發(fā)”。
33．Which of?the following contributes to the Urban Heat Island Effect?
A．More building meterials.
B．More trees and grass.
C．More parking lots.
D．More rooftop gardens.
解析：選A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“Scientists have long noted ... usually warmer than surrounding rural areas.”可知，諸如金屬和混凝土之類的建筑材料是城市熱島效應(yīng)的始作俑者，故選A。
34．When it comes to rooftop gardens, what can be inferred from the passage?【出處：21教育名師】
A．They make people much happier.
B．They provide more benefits than urban parks.
C．They help to save money and keep a healthy diet.21·cn·jy·com
D．They have become very popular in ??recent years.
解析：選C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“reduce cooling bills”“leading to savings on heating bills”和“making their diets healthier”以及最后一段的整體內(nèi)容可推知，屋頂花園能夠降低取暖或降溫的費用支出。同時，它還可以為蔬菜種植提供場地，為人們提供新鮮的蔬菜，從而使人們的飲食更健康，故選C。
35．What's the author's attitude towards rooftop gardens?
A．Sceptical. B．Supportive.
C．Critical. D．Objective.
解析：選B 作者態(tài)度題。根據(jù)最后一段的第一句“Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks and garden spaces, but without ?taking up the much-needed land.”并結(jié)合本段的整體內(nèi)容可推知，作者是提倡創(chuàng)建屋頂花園的，故選B。sceptical“懷疑的”；critical“批判性的，批評的”；objective“客觀的”。
