　　BLOOD DRIVE & MARROW(骨髓)REGISTRATION

　　“These patients deserve a chance at a normal, happy future and they rely on the kindness of the strangers to make that happen.

　　— Daisy, Isabelle’s Mother

　　Isabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei. In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed(诊断)with a genetic blood disorder，beta thalassemia. Isabelle’s body is unable to produce healthy red blood cells. As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions (输血) every 4-6weeks since she was 11 months old. A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems. Her only chance at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow transplant. Isabelle is an only child, so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through The Match Registry. The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life, the gift of blood.

五、2014湖北卷

　　D

　　You’ve flown halfway around the world; you’ve sniffed out this place that nobody in Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever heard of; so what on earth is there to do here? You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand.

　　It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee. By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.

　　Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin, about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok, down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand. Not many tourists find this place, and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.

　　There’s an apparent laziness that surrounds you here. It’s what this place offers, and it’s free of charge. The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down. You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest. You sit there and watch the sea.

　　It’s early afternoon, so the cook comes out and asks what you’d like to eat this evening. Before long he’s rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered—every meal fresh and to order. No menu here.

　　There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm, clear blue sea. There’s no street noise. The only sounds are the murmurs of nature.

　　For now you just count your blessings (福祉), listing them in the sand with your toe (脚趾). You don’t have to worry about being late for work. You don’t have to do anything.

　　The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平线), slowly narrowing to nothingness only to re-emerge again on your left, now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you. Sand to your left and sand to your right; it’s unbroken, endless. No start, no end, just sand, sun, and peace. Step off it, and you re-enter the world of traffic, stress, work, and hurry.

　　Normally you’re the type who can’t sit still for more than ten minutes, but you’re on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and, in the right frame of mind, it stretches all the way around the world.

　　“How could it take me so long to find it?” you wonder.

　　63. When the author first went to Huaplee Beach, ______.

　　A. he found it unworthwhile

　　B. he failed to sort himself out

　　C. he became sensitive to smell

　　D. he had difficulty in finding it

　　64. What is special about the food service at Huaplee Beach?

　　A. No menu.

　　B. Free food.

　　C. Self service.

　　D. Quick delivery.

　　65. In the author’s opinion, a tourist can enjoy Huaplee Beach most when he ______.

　　A. sits in a beach chair

　　B. forgets his daily routine

　　C. plans a detailed schedule

　　D. draws pictures in the sand

　　66. What does the author imply by his question at the end of the passage?

　　A. He shouldn’t have counted his blessings.

　　B. He should have understood the wonder of nature.

　　C. He shouldn’t have spent so much time on the trip.

　　D. He should have come to the place earlier.

　　【考点】考察广告应用类阅读

　　【文章大意】本文叙述了泰国美丽的海滨度假胜地Huaplee，作者描述了这里美丽的景色，可口的饭菜以及缓慢的生活节奏。目的在于吸引更多的人来到这里。

　　63. 【答案】D

　　【试题解析】推理题。根据文章2,3段It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee. By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.和Not many tourists find this place, and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.可知从曼谷去那里要花很长的时间，而且很受有游客能够找到这个地方。作者第一次去也花了很长的时间。故D正确。

　　64. 【答案】A

　　【试题解析】细节题。根据文章第五段It’s early afternoon, so the cook comes out and asks what you’d like to eat this evening. Before long he’s rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered—every meal fresh and to order. No menu here.可知在这里吃饭，是没有菜单的。都是量身定做的，故A正确。

　　65. 【答案】B

　　【试题解析】推理题。根据文章倒数第二段Normally you’re the type who can’t sit still for more than ten minutes, but you’re on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and, in the right frame of mind, it stretches all the way around the world.可知如果你正常是一个很难停下来很忙碌的人，那么来到这里，你就应该忘记一切，享受大自然的美丽。故B正确。

　　66. 【答案】D

　　【试题解析】推理题。根据文章最后一段之前的描述可知这里的风景迷人，饭菜可口，生活惬意。作者后悔很晚才发现有这样的地方。故D正确。

　　【长难句解析】

　　1. By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.

　　【翻译】到你找到车子把自己安定好的时候，你会发现所花的时间几乎和从Falongland来航班一样。

　　【分析】本句中的by the time到…时为止;引导的是一个时间状语从句，通常都是和完成时连用。如果by the time后面是现在时间，主句就使用现在完成时;如果后面是过去时的时间，主句使用过去完成时。

　　2. It’s what this place offers, and it’s free of charge.

　　【翻译】那是这个地方给你提供的东西，而且它是免费的。

　　【分析】本句是由and连接的两个并列句。前一句中的what this place offers是一个表语从句，what引导起这个表语从句，并在表语从句中做动词offer的宾语。

　　Never before had a kitchen so much of a History

　　It tells of Freedom, Success, and of the Architecture of big American cities. Because that is where it started: in the second half of the 19th century!

　　Welcome to a new Era of Kitchen Interior Design

　　Back then, a Generation of successful American Entrepreneurs dreamt of a new style of Architecture to express their personal wealth. This dream was realized by young architects such as Daniel Burnham and Stanford White.

　　They all had studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. And they created a new style for Architecture and Interior Design, named after the famous French Art Institute: Beaux Arts.

　　SieMatic BcauxArts Breaks and Creates

　　In fact it was not a new style at all, but a composition of styles from different periods and cultures. Many world-famous structures such as the Chicago Art Institute and the Statue of Liberty account for it. But what does that have to do with your kitchen? Just as much as you want it to. Because in the same way that the anti-conventional architects back then took the freedom to combine elements from different historical eras, today, you too can break the conventional rules of style and create something new: your own personal composition of your kitchen. For that, SieMatic BeauxArts offers unique opportunities: A broad range of seemingly conflicting features that you combine to a harmonious design of your own. You can choose from menu of various forms, appealing colors, and precious materials, to create an environment that is much more than just a kitchen: a reflection of your personality.

　　56. Why did the BeauxArts style attract American entrepreneurs?

　　A. It helped display their money status.

　　B. It was created by famous architects.

　　C. It was named after a famous institute.

　　D. It represented the 19th century urban culture.

　　57. What is unique of SieMatic BeauxArts?

　　A. Its designs are anti-conventional.

　　B. Its designs come from famous structures.

　　C. Its customers can enjoy their own composition.

　　D. Its customers can choose from various new styles.

　　【考点】考察广告类阅读

　　56. 【答案】A

　　【试题解析】推理题。根据Back then, a Generation of successful American Entrepreneurs dreamt of a new style of Architecture to express their personal wealth可知这种风格能够表现他们的私人财富，也就是说能够显示他们有钱。故A正确。

　　57. 【答案】C

　　【试题解析】推理题。根据you too can break the conventional rules of style and create something new: your own personal composition of your kitchen.
