Passage 1I was 15 when I walked into McCarley Bookstore and began to look over the titles of the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, the owner of the bookstore, asked me if I would like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes.I worked after school and during summers for minimum wages and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I worked at many other jobs afterwards: I made coffee in the student union during college. I made maps for the U.S Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying.One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her everything we had and found other books we could order. She left the shop less worried and I’ve always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her.Years later, as a television reporter, I heard about a poor child who was born with his fingers of the left hand linked together. His family could not afford the corrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his left hand in his pocket.I persuaded my boss to let me do the story on TV. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free.I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his repaired hand and say, “Thank you.”I was overjoyed and filled with a strong sense of reward.At McCarley Bookstore, I always felt I was working for thecustomers, not just for the store. Today it’s the same.NBC news pays me the salary. But I feel that I work forthe viewers, helping them make sense of the world. My working experience in McCarley Bookstore helped mefind a good sense of the world, and most importantly, it helped me find a good sense of myself.1. How did the author get the job in McCarleyBookstore?A. He happened to walk into the shop and got it bychance.B. He had always wanted to have a job in that bookstoreand he succeeded.C. He liked reading books, so tried to get a job there.D. He did not go to school, so he looked for a job whenhe was 15.2. According to the author, selling books was one of themost satisfying job experiences,because ____________.A. he only had to work after school and got good wagesB. it helped him understand the world and himselfC. it helped him pay for his freshman year of collegeD. he did not feel that he was working for the store3. After he helped the fearful lady looking for books oncancer, the author was ____________.A. worried about herB. less worried about herC. unable to forget herD. proud of himself4. The author decided to help the poor boy by____________.A. persuading his boss to do the story on TVB. persuading his boss to let him do the story on TVC. asking a doctor to perform the operation for freeD. visiting the boy in the recovery room after the operation5. The main reason that the author thinks his present job is the same as the one in the bookstore is ____________.A. it gives him salaryB. it makes him feel excitedC. it helps people make sense of the worldD. it enables him to workKey: 1. A 2. B 3. D 4. B 5. CPassage 2Paper was invented by the Chinese in the first century AD. Paper was not made in southern Europe until about the year 1100. Scandinavia - which now makes a great deal of the world’s paper - did not begin to make it until 1500. Most paper is made from wood. Paper-making is an important British industry and paper from Britain is sold to many countries such as Australia and South Africa. Some of the wood used in the British paper making industry comes from trees grown in Britain, but wood is also bought from other countries such as Norway. One tree is needed for every four hundred copies of a forty-page newspaper. If half the adults in Britain buy one daily paper, this uses up over a thousand trees a day. All over the world, trees are being cut down faster than they are being planted, so there may be a serious need for paper at the beginning of next century. When we think of paper, we think of newspaper, books,letters and writing paper. But there are many other uses.Only half of paper is used for books and newspaper, etc.Paper is very good for keeping you warm. Each year,more and more things are made of paper. Now we hearthat chairs, tables, and even beds can be made of paper.But the latest in paper making seems to be paper houses.1. Where was paper invented?A. In China.B. In southern Europe.C. In Scandinavia.D. In Britain.2. Scandinavia began to make paper ____________.A. in 1100B. in 1400C. in 1500D. in the first century3. Every four hundred copies of a forty-page newspaper will need ____________.A. half a treeB. one treeC. two treesD. more than one tree4. All over the world, trees are being cut down ____________ than they are being planted.A. more slowlyB. much fasterC. much more slowlyD. faster5. The latest things made of paper are ____________.A. chairsB. tablesC. clothesD. housesKey: 1. A 2. C 3. B 4. D 5. DPassage 3We often use gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that the gestures can be understood in different ways.It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying . Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like ‘he went pale and began to tremble’suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. Howeve r, ‘he opened his eyes wide’is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese, surprise can be described in a phrase like ‘they stretched out their tongues!’“Stretching out your tongue”in English is an insulting gesture o r expresses strong dislike.Even in the same culture, people differ in their ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better thanmen at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness onpeople’s fac es. Other studies show that older peopleusually find it easier to recognize or understand bodylanguage than younger people do.1. Which of the following is true according to thepassage?A. We can easily understand what people’s gesturesmean.B. Words can be better understood by older people.C. Gestures can be understood by most people but words are not.D. It is difficult to tell what people’gestures reallymean sometimes.2. People’s facial expressions may be misunderstood in different cultures because ____________.A. people of different sexes may understand a gesture differentlyB. people speaking different languages have different facial expressionsC. people of different ages may have different interpretationsD. people from different cultures have different meanings about some facial expressions3. From the passage, we can conclude that____________.A. gestures can be used to express feelingsB. gestures can be more effectively used than words to express feelingsC. words are often more difficult to understand than gesturesD. gestures are used as frequently as words to express feelings4. In the same culture, people ____________.A. hardly ever fail to understand each other’s ideas and feelingsB. are equally intelligent even if they have different backgroundsC. almost all have the same understanding of the same thingD. may have different abilities to understand and express feelings5. The best title for this passage can be ____________.A. GesturesB. FeelingsC. Gestures andFeelings D. Culture and UnderstandingKey: 1. D 2. D 3. A 4. D 5. CPassage 4A funny thing happened on the way to the communication revolution: we stopped talking to each other.I was walking in the park with a friend recently, andhis mobile phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and –poof! –I was cut off as if I had becomeabsent from the conversation.The park was filled with people talking on their cell phones. They were passing people without looking at them, saying hello, noticing their babies or stopping topat their dogs. It seems that the limitless electronic voiceis preferred to human contact.The telephone used to connect you to the absent.Now it makes people feel absent. Recently I was in a car with three friends. The driver hushed the rest of us because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone. There we were, four friends driving down the highway, unable to talk to each other because of the small thing designed to make communication easier.Why is it that the more connected we get, the moredisconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a setback (退步) to the closeness of human interaction. With e-mail and instant message over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every contact between human beings gets automatic, the emotional distance index goes up. Pumping gas at the station? Why say good-morning to the assistant when you can swipe you credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Making a deposit at the bank? Why talk to the clerk who lives in the neighborhood when you can put your card into the ATM?More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn’t really have time to talk. The technology devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.I own a mobile phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail telephone, and an e-mail account. Giving them up isn’t a choice. They are great for what they are intended to do. It’s their unintended results that make me upset. What good is all this gee-whiz technology if there is no one in the room to hear you crying out “Gee whiz”?1. The author’s experience of walking in a park with a friend recently made him feel _____________.A. unhappyB. funnyC. sunnyD. wonderful2. According to the author, human contact in a park means ____________.A. looking at each other and saying hello when passingB. noticing their babies and stopping to pat their dogsC. talking on the mobile phone and getting connectedwith the other peopleD. both A and B3. According to the author, the more connected we get incommunications technology, the ___________ we are.A. more automaticB. easierC. more disconnectedD. closer4. What are the examples the author gives to explain hisidea that every advance in communications technologyis a setback to the closeness of human interaction?A. With e-mail and instant message over the Internet, wecan now communicate without seeing or talking to oneanother.B. With voice mail, you can make entire conversationswithout ever reaching anyone.C. If his mom has a question, he just leaves the answeron her machine.D. All of the above.5. What is the unintended result of communicationtechnology, according to the author?A. It makes communication easier and conversationpossible everywhere.B. It actually creates a distance between people insteadof bringing them together.C. It makes every contact between human beings automatic and makes people feel connected.D. It makes human contacts limitless with electronic voices everywhere.Key: 1. A 2. D 3. C 4. D 5. BPassage 5Who will stage the games?Preparing for the Olympics Games is a huge undertaking. Just like the athletes, the host city spends years getting ready for the event. Before deciding which city will host the Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has to examine bids from all over the world. Bidding for the games begins about ten years in advance. Without preparing a very strong bid1, a city will not win the competition to host the games. Beijing was chosen for the 2008 games from five bidders —Osaka, Paris, Toronto and Istanbul.2Why does it take so long to prepare?Building the infrastructure costs huge amounts of money. Holding the World Cup in 2002 in Japan and South Korea, for example, meant that ten new stadiums had to be built, as well as many hotels and an improved transport system. In Beijing, after winning the bid the government began major construction projects —the extension of the underground, the improvement of the airport and the building of new motorways3. Each host city must also build an Olympic village for the athletes. By planting trees and creating parks, the city becomes more attractive for tourists.Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games?Hosting the games has a major effect on the economyand brings international prestige to the country.Thousands and thousands of visitors come to the gamesand the host cities are permanently improved.1. Bidding for the Olympic Games usually starts____________ before the games are really held.A. two yearsB. eight yearsC. one yearD. ten years2. Beijing was one of the _______ bidders for the2008games.A. fourB. fiveC. tenD. three3. The World Cup 2002 was held in _____________.A. JapanB. South KoreaC. ChinaD. A and B4. What construction projects did Beijing start after winning the bid?A. The extension of the underground.B. The improvement of the airport.C. The building of new motorwaysD. All of the above5. Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games?A. Because it has a major effect on the economy.B. Because it brings international prestige to the country.C. Because the host cities are permanently improved.D. All of the above.Key: 1. D 2. B 3. D 4. D 5. DPassage 6We walked in so qu ietly that the nurse at the desk didn’t even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched, mouth open in surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, “Very dirty floors.”“Yes. I’m glad they’ve finally decided to clean them,”the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, “But aren’t you working late?”Mum just pushed harder, each swipe of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book.After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes wereshining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand.As we turned to go out of the door, Mum noddedpolitely to the nurse and said, “Thank you.”Outside, Mum told me, “Kate is fine. No fever.”“You saw her, Mum?”“Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, andshe will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stopworrying as well. It’s a fine hospital. But such floors! Amop is no good. You need a brush.”1. When she took a mop from the small room what Mumreally wanted to do was ____________.A. to clean the floorB. to please the nurseC. to see a patientD. to surprise the story-teller2.

Patient.C. Changeable.D. Clever.Key: 1. C 2. D 3. B 4. D 5. DPassage 7Did you know there are some very special dogs doinggood work in our hospital wards? These are PAT 2 (Pets As Therapy) dogs. Doctors and nurses are recognizing the benefits of pets more and more —particularly for children, people with mental illnesses and elderly people who are separated from their own pets or have had to give up their pets.Stroking and playing with a pet is a calming experience and something to look forward to. One hospital reported that a man with a mental illness, who hadn't spoken for years, first stroked and played with a visiting dog and then started talking to it.Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort and pleasure to over 100,000 people in hospital. There are many other ‘working dogs’5. There are guard dogs, police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the blind. Disabled people benefit greatly. Take the case of Alan Smythe6, who has to visit hospital every month. Some things7 are difficult for him because he is in a wheelchair. But his life has altered dramatically since he got a dog, Tess, from the charity 'Dogs for the Disabled'. ‘She helps me to get dressed, and she brings me my socks and shoes. She fetches the newspaper from the shop, and she passes me the phone when it rings. I feel so much better too. It's like having a really good friend. She comes with me to hospital. Once, she saved my life.I am a diabetic and one day my blood sugar level dropped, and when I was going into a coma she went next door and she alerted my neighbor. He gave me an insulin injection.’1. Doctors and nurses think pets are particularly helpful for ______________.A) children B) people with mental illnesses C)old people who can’t live with their pets or have to give up their pets D) all of the above people2.

Which of the following that Tess CAN NOT help Alan do?A) Get dressed B) bring socks and shoesC) pass the phone when it ringsD) buy newspaper from the shop5. When Alan was going to a coma, T ess went to his _______’s home for help.A) neighbour B) doctor C) friend D) daughter Key: 1. D 2. C 3.B 4. D 5.

高考英语二轮复习核心专题精讲精练：专题2 阅读理解记叙文(考情分析+真题回顾+最新模拟试题)
专题1.2 高考阅读理解记叙文养成良好的答题习惯，是决定高考英语成败的决定性因素之一。
做题前，要认真阅读题目要求、题干和选项，并对答案内容作出合理预测;答题时，切忌跟着感觉走，最好按照题目序号来做，不会的或存在疑问的，要做好标记，要善于发现，找到题目的题眼所在，规范答题，书写工整;答题完毕时，要认真检查，查漏补缺，纠正错误。
总之，在最后的复习阶段，学生们不要加大练习量。
一、考情分析语篇阅读能力一直是高考英语的考查重点，因此阅读理解是高考英语试卷最重要的内容之一。
阅读理解和七选五在高考卷中分值达50分左右，是决定学生高考英语成绩的一个重要题型。
高考中的阅读理解按照文章体裁通常可以划分为应用文、说明文、记叙文和议论文。
文体不同，语篇结构、语言特点和阅读策略也各有差异。
在各类文体中，记叙文占了很大比重。
记叙文是一种以记叙为主要表达方式的文章体裁，分为写人的记叙文和叙事的记叙文，人不离事，事不离人，但写作对象和写作目的有区别。
写人的记叙文以人为写作对象，表现人物的品质特点，而叙事的记叙文以事件为记叙对象，揭示事件对人、对社会的思想意义。
本文将结合近几年高考试题，阐述记叙文阅读理解的命题特点和解题策略。

下半年公共英语二级考试阅读理解复习题及答案实用1份
下半年公共英语二级考试阅读理解复习题及答案实用1份下半年公共英语二级考试阅读理解复习题及答案 1Although the women' s rights movement in the United States is thought of as a recent develop- ment, its beginnings date back over one hundred and seventy years. At that time women were de- pendents in the eyes of the law, and they did not have the rights of adults. A woman had no prop- erty rights, even over what she had got it from her mother or father or over any wages that she earned. Decisions about family __ and about the children were made by her husband, the“head of the family".The first public protests(情愿) against the low position of women were made in the 1830s. In1848 the leaders of this movement( some of whom were for antislavery(反对__) activities as well) assembled the first Women's Rights Convention, demanding equality. In this struggle as well as,in the long, hard fight for women' s vote, those who took part in the activities were laughed at and insulted(侮辱) . They were said to be immoral( 违反伦理的), and their ideas were considered dangerous to society.Nevertheless by 1900 women had won the right to vote in several states; and in 1920 the Nine- teenth Amendment to the Constitution granted them the right to vote throughout the United States. By the time man women were attending college, and increasing numbers were entering professions which had before been forbidden to women. A little number of women even held high academic and government positions. In spite of all this progress, "career women" were largely restricted ( 受限制)to teaching, nursing, and office work.The Women's Liberation movement, which developed during the 1960s,has focused on eco- nomic rights such as "equal pay for equal work". In addition some groups have stressed psycholo- gical and social equality. The main purpose of Women' s Liberation to free women from the re- stricted role which society has given to them. It seeks to enable them to choose between a career and the home or to choose the two. It claims that society as a whole would benefit if every person was allowed to develop his or her abilities and use them to the full. Women' s Liberation believes that the statement in the United States Declaration of Independence, "all men are created equal" real- ly means "all human beings are created equal".1.We know from this passage thatover one hundred seventy years ago.A. no women worked outside their homesB. women were considered as children by the lawC. women cared nothing about how their family lives wereD. women were not allowed to decide how to spend their money or how to teach children2. The underlined word "assemble" in the second paragraph probably meansA. to bring a group of people together in one place for a particular purposeB. to make a public or official statement, especially about a plan, decisionC. to produce many copies of a book, magazine, or newspaperD. not to take part in an e——ent or not to buy or use something as a protest3. Which of the following statements is incorrect according to the passage?A. Women did not have the right to vote before 1900.B. Women had the right to vote throughout the country in1920.C. A little number of women held high academic and government positions in 1920.D. "Career women" were largely restricted to some areas.4. Which of the following is TRUE?A.In the 1920s, women were limited to being teachers, nurses or office workers.B. Women mainly paid their attention to how they were paid in the 1960s.C. Women asked to change "all men are created equal" into "all human beings are created equal".D. No states have ever provided women with jobs in the government.篇章分析本文是一篇议论文，介绍了__妇女__运动的发展及其社会意义。

2019-2020年初二英语期末复习专题《阅读理解》2019-2020年初二英语期末复习专题《阅读理解》When was the last time you saw three men running down a forest trail (小径) in the rain wearing flip-flops(拖鞋)? That's what my friend Brandon, Josh and I were doing last autumn. We were looking for a waterfall(瀑布). We didn't have much time to get to the waterfall and back, so we were running. We were wearing flip-flopsto prevent our shoes getting dirty.It was raining, but lightly. It kept us cool as we climbed over giant stonesand through a shallow(浅的) stream. We f ollowed red arrows (箭头 ) and crossed that stream several times, walking on toward the promised waterfall. Time was not on our side, however, and we were forced to turn around. As we started back, we looked at the shallow stream we had just crossed. Where did this rushing river come from? That was when we realized a flash flood was around!In the few minutes the water rose at a fast speed. Now t here were no big stones to be seen--only what looked like lumps (隆起) covered with rushing water. We hadno choice but to move our way back carefully in the rushing water--in flip-flops.We h ad crossed the stream not once or twice, but six times in search of a waterfall that we never even reached!With most of the crossings，we needed each other's help if we didn't want tobe washed away by water. Wet all over, we felt relaxed after we m ade t he last crossing. "My dad always told me to keep offa river when travelling in the rain," Josh said as we hurried back down the path."Why didn't you tell us that earlier?" I laughed."Would it have made a difference?" came the reply.He had a point.1. Why were there no big stones to be seen in the stream when they came back?A. The big stones were moved away by someone else.B. They were running too fast to notice the big stones.C. The big stones were covered with rushing water.D. The big stones were washed away by rushing water.2. Why didn't they find the waterfall in the end?A. Because they were short of time.B. Because they were wearing flip-flops.C. Because Josh kept warning them not to go any further.D. Because the flood prevented them from going forward.3. We can infer(推断) from the passage that the writer and his friends______.A. were crazy about outdoor activitiesB. made full preparations before the tripC. crossed rushing water easily in the endD. had much experience in travelling in the rainCDA（2）。

From the dialogue between the king and the girl, we know that after hearing the girl’s story, the king ______.A. wanted to see the babyB. became angry with herC. thought the girl was a foolD. unde rstood the girl’s meaningBBADDPeople all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man’s release of comp letely new and often artificial (人造的) substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance (物质)，such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three of four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which can’t be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal (处理) of the products we use in our daily lives.1. The main cause of pollution is __________.A. the release of artificial or natural substances into the environmentB. the production of new industrial goodsC. increased amounts of a natural substanceD. our ever-increasing population2. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only __________.A. people would pay more attention to the problemB. governments would take effective measuresC. all sides concerned would make more effortsD. farmers would use less artificial fertilizers3. Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause __________.A. air and water pollutionB. both a litter problem and a waster of resourcesC. to pay for the serviceD. to produce the receipt4. Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution?A. Cutting out unnecessary buying.B. Eating.C. Reduce excess use.D. Carefully dispose our daily products.5. What does the underlined word “litter” mean in paragraph 2 ?A. not manyB. serious problemC. bits of waste thingsD. industrial pollutionACBBCThousands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcano broke out. The hot liquid piled higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces. Sea waves dashed against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little creatures there. Only plants could grow first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the minerals of the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food.A spider spun its web in vain, because there were no insects for its web to catch. Insects couldn’t stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the pioneer life on this new island.1. The passage centers on __________.A. how an undersea volcano broke outB. how an island rose up in the seaC. how soil was formed on a new islandD. how life began on a volcano-produced island2.According to the passage, the island got its first soil from __________.A. sea wavesB. the sand brought by the windC. its own rockD. cool rains3.The word “naked” (in para. 3) could be replaced by which of the following?A. hiddenB. newC. mysteriousD. bare4.The order of coming into being on the island is __________.A. soil, plants and animalsB. soil, little creatures and plantsC. soil, birds and plantsD. soil, human beings and animals5. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE ?A. Spiders were the first life that could live on the island.B. The island is far away from any piece of land.C. Insects could not live on the island without plants.D. Plants were brought to the island by human being.DCDACIn the last 500 years, nothing about people – not their clothes, ideas, or languages – has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500’s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the“Potato Famine”of 1845-6, and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America.There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the World’s largest grower of coffee, and c offee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400’s.According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a goatherd name Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the“wide-awake” feeling that one-third of the world’s population now starts the day with.1. According to the passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years?A. FoodB. PotatoC. ChocolateD. Coffee2. “Some” in “Some still exist today” means _________.A. some cocoa treesB. some shopsC. some chocolate drinksD. some South American Indians3.

The Arabic legend is used to prove that _________.A. coffee was first discovered by KaldiB. coffee was first discovered by Kaldi’s goatsC. coffee was first discovered in south American countriesD. coffee drinks were first made by ArabsACDCDCrime Prevention InitiativesThe chances that you will be a victim of violent crime are low. But you can avoid risk in the following ways.AT HOME·You should make sure your house or flat is secure. Always lock the door from the inside at night, but you must keep the key nearby, so that you can use it to get out quickly if there is a fire.·You must never give keys to workmen as they can easily make copies.·If you wake up and hear a burglar, stay quietly in bed. Pretend you are asleep. If you feel more confident, switch on the light and make a lot of noise; even if you are on your own you should call out loudly to an imaginary companion, so that the burglar thinks you are not alone and runs away. You should have a phone or a mobile in your bedroom to alert the police immediately.·If you come home and think you see signs of a break-in, you shouldn’t go in, the burglar may be inside. You should go to a neighbour and call the police.ON THE STREETAt night:·Always walk facing the traffic, so that a car cannot pull up behind you.·You mustn’t go through parks or woods.·If you think someone is following you, cross the road one or two times. If he or she continues to follow you, go to a pub or other public place.·Always carry your bag close to you, but carry your house keys in your pocket so that you can open the door quickly.

Based on the passage, if you notice someone following you, it’s better for you to _________.A. shout loudlyB. go to public placesC. stop, turn around and look at himD. run quickly4. Why should you have a telephone in the bedroom?A. Because we might use it to alert the burglary.B. Because it’s convenient for us to talk to our friends while lying on bed.C.

From the passage, we can infer that we might be victims if _________.A. we cannot part with the money when being attackedB. we always walk facing the trafficC. we don’t walk in the empty streetD. we carry too much cashABBCAAn Extraordinary Change of DirectionMolly Wilson had been a dancer and a mother for many years when she decided to sail round the world to raise money for charity.As a child she had trained as a ballet dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member of a pop dance team.She got married, and after she had children she retired from show business to bring them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home.She says, “When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was bored because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race.They had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to Australia.I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey.”Before Molly left she did a lot of training, but it hadn’t prepared he r for the worst weather which they experienced. She tells one story. “One night the sea was very rough and it was very cold. I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men on the deck. One of the men couldn’t move because he had broken his leg. They were taken to hospital by helicopter. That was the worst time.”By the end of October last year, she had raised more than £50,000 for charity.She says, “Sometimes I ask myself, what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think,it’s the same as being a dancer. Before I left on the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared myself completely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member.”1. What does the word “extraordinary” mean in the title?A. very ordinaryB. very unusual and surprisingC. not specialD. extreme2. The sentence “…my husband thought I was bored …” in Para. 4 meant that myhusband thought I felt_________.A. dissatisfied because I had nothing better to do at homeB. annoyed because I had to wait long for my children to come back homeC. happy because I could do something I was interested in instead of taking care of childrenD. sad because all the children left me when they grew up3. The word “section” in Para. 4 most probably means here _________.A. group of peopleB. part of the trainingC. part of the route of sailD. part of the job4. Which of the following is nearest (closest) in meaning to “rough” in the sentence “One night the sea was very rough …” in Para. 5?A. not exactB. difficultC. not smooth because of huge wavesD. pleasant5. The last paragraph suggests that _________.A. the qualities she needed for the trip were the same as those for a dancerB. many years of dancing had already prepared her for the sail completely, so sheneedn’t do anything before the journeyC. she should be kind to other team members during the tripD. she should not forget dancing during the tripBACCAThere have been changes in all sorts of different areas of British society. In recent years in the UK we have had a very large increase in the number of couples who get divorced.After 1969 and the Divorce Law Reform Act we had a very rapid increase in the number of divorces. The rate increased steadily and in recent years has increased much more rapidly. But there are also quite a lot of people who do actually get married. At present the marriage rate in the UK is about 70 per cent, which has gone down since the number of people who marry has gone down quite a lot in the last 20 years, but more significantly in the last 10 years. Quite high proportions of people now live together without marrying, and, for example, 40 per cent of children born in the UK are born to couples whoaren't married or are born to lone parents. There are quite a large number of lone parent families, 90 per cent of these are headed by a woman rather than a man.The average family size now in the UK is 1.8 children per couple, which means that there's been quite a decline in the birth rate in the UK along with other European countries.1. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The declining divorce rate in the UK.B. The declining marriage rate in the UK.C. The increasing divorce rate in the UK.D. Trends in marriage and divorce in the UK.2. During the last ten years, __________.A. the marriage rate has gone down more rapidly in the UKB. the marriage rate has gone up a lot in the UKC. 40% of children were born to unwed couples in the UKD. 40% of children were born to single parents in the UK3. According to the passage, the cohabitation rate in the UK tends to __________.A. declineB. soar (急剧上升)C. stay stableD. not mentioned in the passage4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The highest divorce rate was around 1969.B. The marriage rate has gone down in recent years.C. The marriage rate is currently 70 percent.D. 90 percent of lone parent families are headed by women.5. The last paragraph tells us __________.A. the birth rate in the UK is increasing at the momentB. at present any family in the UK is 2 children at mostC. the birth rate in other European countries keeps increasingD. the birth rate in the UK is decreasing rapidly nowCABADSome people think they have an answer to the troubles of automobile crowding and dirty air in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or “bike”.In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bike riders. For example, they want the city to draw bicycle lanes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders have to use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes more people would use bikes.But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea - they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. Only on weekends, Central Park is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.1. According to the passage, bicycles ____________.A. are more convenient than carsB. are safer traffic tools than carsC. are ridden by most people in the U.SD. are the solution to some city problems2. The idea of special bicycle lanes is most favored by ____________.A. the city governmentB. some bike ridersC. people living far from downtownD. some store owners3. “Bicycle lanes” in the third paragraph probably means ____________.A. narrow passages between buildings for bicyclesB. roads full of bicyclesC. special parts of the road for bicycle riders onlyD. roads for bicycles only4. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. Bike for a Better City members ride bicycles to work.B. Sometimes accidents may occur when cars and bikes are on the same lanes.C.

Yan, an elderly lady about 60, had served as committee director for more than 20 years; her major work was to rouse her neighbors from their sleep to get water. As time went by, residents could not go to sleep before one o’clock in the morning.Chaoyang Street was not the only street in Taiyuan that lacked water, and Taiyuan was not the only city in China with water in short supply.Niu Maosheng, Minister of Water Resources, told China Today that more than 300 cities nationwide lack water; in 108 cities the situation has become critical. The annual deficit of water has reached 6 billion cubic meters, leading to a loss of RMB 200 billion (approximately US $24 billion) in industrial output.1.

Most color-blind people can see yellow and blues, but confuse reds with greens. It is very rare for a person to be blind to all colors, but they may see everything in shades of black, white, and gray.It is interesting to note that many color-blind people don’t even realize that they are color-blind. They don’t know that the colors they are seeing and naming are not the actual colors that people with normal vision can see. This can be particularly dangerous when a color-blind person confuses the red and green of a traffic light.Color blindness is thought to be inherited (遗传). And although doctors have thought up tests to determine（测定）color blindness, there is no cure to treatment for it.1. A color-blind person can tell correctly red and green.2. Many color-blind people are unaware (没意识到) that they are color-blind.3. It’s especially dangerous for a color-blind person to cross a street when there are no traffic lights at the cross of the streets.4. A person who is color-blind is not allowed to drive.5. Up to now, doctors have found a way to free a person from his color blindness.F T F NG FLily is 70 years old and she takes care of her 91-year-old mother. She told us about caring for her mother.I wake up early every day, it’s usually about 6.30 am, and wait until I hear Tilly, my mum, moving about. Then I make her a cup of tea. At about half past seven she gets up and we have breakfast together. We normally just have toast, but on Sundays we always have bacon and eggs. After breakfast she reads the newspaper, then she sits by the window and waves to the neighbours as they walk by.She hardly ever goes out but she is very proud of her personal appearance, so she goes to the hairdresser once a month.She doesn’t like being left on her own for very long, so I always arrange for a neighbour to come and sit with her when I go out. Now and again, my friend and neighbour, Joan, comes to spend the day with her, and I can go and have lunch with another friend, May, who lives in town.I have a brother, Syd. He comes to stay two or three times a year. He is very good and keeps in touch, but he lives 300 miles away. Once a year, he collects mum and takes her to stay with him in London for a week. She doesn’t really like going because it’s a long journey, but I need the rest.Sally, the nurse, comes to see mum regularly. My next-door neighbour, Jack, often calls in. In the evening we usually watch TV and we sometimes play cards. Mum is fantastic for her age. But I can never decide to go anywhere spontaneously. I always have to plan it, so I feel a bit trapped. But what is the alternative? An old people’s home? I couldn’t do that to my mother.1. Lily wakes before her mother.2. Tilly is satisfied with her hairdresser.3. Joan sometimes spends the day with Lily's mother.4. Lily's brother comes to visit every three weeks.5. Lily and her mother play cards more than they watch TV.T NG T F FBenjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, “London is not a city, it is a nation.” Today this is an understatement; London, with its vast range of different ethnic groups, is a world.Certainly, London is the most culturally diverse city in the world. The city was founded by the Romans and since then new arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity.Within 10 years 40% of Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups, including the growing number of Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain. Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of Russian-Irish couples. None of them will be English, but all of them will be Londoners.Most of Britain's ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages. Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in London. The largest migrant community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of the total population of London.There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Kurdistan.Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of different and hybrid cultures. They themselves often have several different ethnic identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different backgrounds, and their friends and partners do also. They are “skilled cross-cultural travellers” without leaving their home-town.1. London is a nation.2. The city of London was founded by the Romans.3. All African population live in London.4. 39% of the total population of London are Chinese.5. Old people are also “skilled cross-cultural travelers”.F T F F NG。
