解析
试题分析：本文是一篇以叙文，作者在记叙之后发表了自己的感悟。文章讲述了作者遭遇一次暴风雨而历经艰辛坚持去上班，就在作者因此而倍感疲惫和烦躁时，却收到了经理的一封电子信件。信中经理简短的几句对不顾风雨坚持来上班的人们表示了感激，这使得作者感到一天来的疲惫与烦恼一扫而光，并由此感悟到几句简短的话语可以使人的精神焕然一新。
小题1:B。考查动词辨析。根据语境，因为是rainstorm(暴风雨)，所以街道被雨水淹没。选项A为"中断"；C为"沉没"；D为"猛撞，崩溃"，均不合语境。句中cause sth. to be done使得…被…
小题2:A。考查动词辨析。因为大雨，许多人被迫回家，不能够去上班。注意被句为被动形式，从意义上可以排除选项B、C、D。
小题3:C。考查动词辨析。根据语境：有些人能够叫到出租车(call a taxi)。order为"订购，预定"。不合语境；search a taxi表示"搜查出租车（在车上找东西）"，也不正确。
小题4:C。考查名词辨析。联系上文，根据文章第一句中rainstorm一词可知答案。语境：有些人能够叫到出租车，还有写人勇敢面对暴风雨，步行去上班。当时正在下雨，所以用face the storm bravely. C选项climate为"气候（指某一地区长期的天气状况）"；scenery为"景色"；burden为"负担"，均不合文意。
小题5:D。考查动词辨析。联系下文可知作者"碰巧也是"去上班中的一个，happen to be表示"碰巧是…"。而used to be表示"过去常常（现在已经不再那样了）"；promise to表示"允诺去做…";deserve to do表示"理应做，值得做"，均不符合文意与语境。
小题6:D。考查名词辨析。根据语境：作者去了地铁，却发现大多数地铁都已经停止运行服务了，所以用service,表示"（地铁的运行）服务"。而practice表示"练习；惯例做法"；routine表示"常规；例行公事"；process表示"过程；程序"，均不符合语境。
小题7:B。考查介词辨析。根据语境：make one"s way through the crowds of people在人群中挤出一条路。make one"s way to:表示"通往…"；make one"s way for:表示"让步于…"，均不合文意。
小题8:A。考查动词辨析。operate表示"操作，运转，运行"。作者最终发现一条地铁还在运行。cycle 表示"循环，周期"；turn表示"变得；转弯"；rush表示"冲进，匆促"，均不符合语境。
小题9:D。考查动词辨析。根据语意：那么多人在等待上车…；board the subway表示"木版；登车，上车（船、飞机等）"。Check表示"核查；登记"；carry"携带，搬运"；find"找到"，均不合文意。
小题10:D。考查名词辨析。根据语境："我"甚至无法踏上站台的台阶。Platform"站台"。其它不合语境。
小题11:C。考查动词辨析。根据语境：最终过了好长时间，地铁终于停在了我的那一站。联系下文Then I had to …一句可知作者先坐了一程地铁，然后又在雨中步行了几个街区。pause表示"暂停，中止"；cross表示"交叉；越过"；park表示"停车"，均不合文意。
小题12:A。考查形容词辨析。be wet through:浑身湿透了。（由于作者冒雨而行，在到达办公室时已经湿透了。）根据文章下一句：My co-workers and I spent most of the day drying off.作者与同事一起花费了大半天的时间才晾干也可知。其它不合语境。
小题13:B。考查动词辨析。要认真体会作者的情感、态度：此时由于作者浑身湿透，所以到办公室时已经是疲惫不堪了，所以此时作者的情绪应该是"沮丧的，泄气的"。这也可以根据下文形成对比：作者收到经理的E-mail而变的愉快起来。ashamed"惭愧的"；surprised"吃惊的"；puzzled "迷惑"，均不符合语境。
小题14:B。考查连词。when表示"就在这时"。其它不合语境。
小题15:D。考查副词辨析。eventually表示"最终"；hardly 表示"几乎不"；casually 表示"偶然地，随意地"absolutely 表示"完全地"。根据文意：我很感谢你们所有的不顾艰辛最终来上班的人。
小题16:A。考查名词辨析。句意为：…，当员工们表明他们对于工作的投入时…。devotion表示"投入"；donation 表示"捐赠"；concern表示"关心"；reaction表示"反应"。(show one"s concern for sth表示"对…关心")
小题17:C。考查形容词辨析。联系文章，经理的这封e-mail并不长，所以用brief表示"简短的"。accurate 表示"精确的"；urgent表示"急切的"；humorous表示"幽默的"。
小题18:B。考查名词辨析。句意为：这封e-mail让我知道即使是简短的几句感激的话也会有很大的影响。appreciation表示"欣赏，感激"；promise 表示"诺言"；advice表示"建议"；guidance表示"指导，引导"。
小题19:A。考查名词辨析。句意为：暴雨和交通阻塞带来的麻烦使得"我"疲惫、烦乱。signals 表示"信号"；rules表示"规则"；signs表示"符号，迹象"，均不正确。
小题20:D。考查动词辨析。句意为：经理Garth的话立即使得我提起精神来，让我又面带微笑。Refreshed表示"使...生气蓬勃,提起精神,恢复精神"；correct表示"纠正"；support表示"支持"；amaze 表示"使吃惊"，均不符合语境。

举一反三
The polluted land，which is mostly in economically developed areas，accounts for one-tenth of the country’s total arable（可耕种的）land，according to an incomplete survey by the State Environmental Protection Administration，China’s top environment watchdog.
Pollution on cultivated land threatens the environment，food safety and the sustainable development of agriculture，the administration said.
Because of continual，too much use of chemical fertilizer, pesticide and agricultural plastic sheeting, as well as irrigation using polluted water, a large amount of contaminants（污染物）remain in the cultivated land.
The contaminants affect the soil’s ecological structure and function，leading to decreased soil productivity, lower crop yield（产量），and lower quality of agricultural products-
It also leads to worse water quality in rural areas.
Less than 9 per cent of drinkable water passed checks for bacteria in243 rural water supply stations across the county.
Another survey, which took samples of drinking water and groundwater an 69 small towns。 in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province of North，China, showed that more than half of the water contains too much nitrate（硝酸盐），which may cause diabetes（糖尿病）and damage the kidney.
The administration estimated at least 1 90 million farmers are drinking water that contains harmful substances.
Many villagers drink unfiltered water taken from shallow water wells or water cellars， which are reported to have poor sanitary conditions·

Animal care activists have urged in recent years to discourage keeping elephants in zoos, largely because of the lack of space and small numbers of animals that can be kept in a group.
The researchers found that the median life span for African elephants in European zoos was 16.9 years, compared with 56 years for elephants who died of natural causes in Kenya’s Amboseli Park. Adding in those elephants killed by people in Africa lowered the median life expectancy there to 35.9 years. For the more endangered Asian elephants, the median life span in European zoos was 18.9 years, compared with 41.7 years for those working in the Burma Timber Enterprise. Median means half died younger than that age and half lived longer.
There is some good news, though. The life expectancies of zoo elephants have improved in recent years, suggesting an improvement in their care and raising, but “Protecting elephants in Africa and Asia is far more successful than protecting them in Western zoos.”
There are about 1,200 elephants in zoos, half in Europe, researchers concentrated on female elephants, which make up 80 percent of the zoo population. One amazing thing was that Asian elephants born in zoos had shorter life spans that those brought to the zoos from the wild.
Zoos usually lack large areas that elephants are used to in the wild, and that zoo animals often are alone or with one or two other unrelated animals, while in the wild they tend to live in related groups of 8 to 12 animals. In Asian elephants, baby death rates are two to three times higher in zoos than in the Burmese logging camps, and then, in adulthood, zoo-born animals die young. People are not sure why.
小题1:What is argued about in this passage?
| A．Zoo elephants don’t live as long as those in the wild. |
| B．Elephants should not be on display. |
| C．Asian elephants are in danger. |
| D．Asia is far more successful in protecting elephants in zoos. |
| A．Average | B．Longest. | C．Shortest. | D．Ordinary. |
| A．Limited number of relatives. | B．Lack of space. |
| C．Shorter life expectancy. | D．Less attention. |
| A．Zoologists. | B．Animal care activists. |
| C．Zoo visitors. | D．The public. |

For nearly 100 years, the heartbroken Little Mermaid has sat on a rock looking out over Copenhagen"s port but now the sculpture ,based on the famous fairytale, is heading back out to sea, set for China.
The small bronze statue inspired by the tale of author Hans Christian Andersen and unveiled in 1913, is a major tourist attraction in Copenhagen. But her life has not always been easy. She has been beheaded twice, had her arm cut off, was blown off her rock in 2003 and was dressed in a Muslim headscarf two years ago in a protest - but she never left her native country.
This week she was lifted from the harbor, boxed, and shipped to Shanghai where she is the star guest in the Danish Pavilion at EXPO 2010 which runs until October 31. Details over her trip were not revealed due to security issues.
"The Little Mermaid," published in 1837, is a sad story about a mermaid who falls in love with a prince and gives up her life in the sea and her tail for legs.
The fairytale has been adapted many times into stage shows and into a Disney movie.
Copenhagen mayor Frank Jensen said in a statement that the loan of The Little Mermaid was part of a cultural exchange between Denmark and China. "I am convinced that she will be an excellent ambassador of Denmark, particularly since the Chinese already are very fond of Hans Christian Andersen and his fairytales," he said in a statement.
Her departure from Copenhagen will not leave the harbor empty. Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has created a video installation(设备/装置)to be installed at her spot.
The Little Mermaid"s 165 cm (65 inches) tall sculpture, which sits on a granite block, was created in 1913 by Edvard Eriksen.
小题1:The following statements are true EXCEPT________________.
| A．the statue of The Little Mermaid will be given to China as a gift |
| B．the statue of The Little Mermaid is a major tourist attraction in Copenhagen |
| C．The Little Mermaid is a famous fairytale written by Hans Christian Andersen |
| D．the story of The Little Mermaid was once adapted into a Disney movie |
| A．escaping | B．retiring | C．arriving | D．leaving |
| A．Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has created another Little Mermaid instead |
| B．the Danish people don’t like the statue of The Little Mermaid |
| C．the statue of The Little Mermaid will return to Denmark in the future |
| D．Edvard Eriksen wrote the story of the Little Mermaid |
