ALeon McCarthy, 12, was born without fingers on his left hand. That didn't stop him from being able to do many tasks. But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time. So Leon's father, Paul, created a Prosthesis(假肢), using a 3D printer. Now Leon has fingers that open and close. “It was a do－it－yourself, father－and－son adventure，” says Paul.When Leon was a baby, his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens. “The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with，” says Paul. As Leon got older, his father looked into buying a prosthetic hand, which can cost as much as $30，000. Paul found a more affordable solution.One day, Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand, a prosthesis created with a 3D printer. He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand's creators for advice. They told him all he needed was a 3D printer—which costs around $2，000—and some materials.Luckily, Leon's school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon. “We used a soccer shinguard(护胫), cardboard, and tape. They cost about $10，” says paul.With his new hand, Leon can do things better. “I can help my mom more, because now I can carry two grocery bags，” he says.Leon's father has already built several hands for Leon. Leon helps design each one. He says there's one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis. “The goal，” he says, “is to be able to tie my shoelaces(鞋带)．”21．Why did Leon's doctor disapprove of his using a prosthesis in his childhood? A．The prosthetic technology was underdeveloped then.B．A prosthesis was very expensive at that time.C．To master the disabled hand was important.D．The original hand could do many tasks.22．Leon's father managed to get Leon a new hand by ________．A．collecting money on the InternetB．buying a prosthetic handC．purchasing a 3D printerD．printing a hand23．The materials used for Leon's hand can be described as ________．A．cheap and commonB．strange and valuableC．personal and lovelyD．basic and solid24．What's the best title for the text?A．A DIY Enthusiast B．A Helping HandC．A Great Adventure D．A Lucky EscapeBI set out to help clean up the beach after a violent storm a year ago. The sight I saw was heartbreaking. The broken houses seemed to be weeping quietly. I couldn't describe how I felt. But something special among the debris (废墟) turned my day around.I joined a club to clean up the beach after the storm last November. As I removed the debris from the beach, I noticed an object with shiny buttons in the wet sand. It was a jacket, and I was excited since Halloween was coming and I thought I had found a great costume. After picking it up, I was able to see that the jacket was from West Point (西点军校), the United States Military Academy, and it had the name “deGavre” written inside. I realized the jacket might be important to someone. I decided to find the jacket's owner and return it.I called the West Point Museum, considering that if the family couldn't be found, the jacket should go there. The museum connected me with Kim McDermott, Director of Communications for the Academy's Association of Graduates. Kim soon ensured that the jacket had belonged to Chester Braddock deGavre, who was a 1933 graduate and a war hero, but passed away in 1993.I sent Kim a photo of the jacket and she posted it to the West Point Association of Graduates Facebook Page, asking if anyone could help us find the family. In less than two hours, someone had found and called the hero's wife, Teresa. Soon I started to receive personal messages from members of the deGavre family, their friends and others who were touched by the story and they found me on Facebook.Finding Chester deGavre's jacket and connecting to his family with the help of Facebook have been so meaningful to me. I've formed a bond with amazing people I might have never met.25．Seeing the sight after the storm, the author felt very ________．A．sad B．surprisedC．nervous D．disappointed26．What did the author think at first after he saw the jacket?A．He should try to find its owner.B．He could wear it for Halloween.C．He should return it to West Point.D．He could send it to others for free.27．The author called the West Point Museum because he thought ________．A．the jacket was made thereB．the jacket's owner worked thereC．the workers there needed the jacketD．the jacket might be collected by the museum28．According to the text, Kim McDermott ________．A．happened to be the owner of the jacketB．was a student graduating from West PointC．could find a record of the graduatesD．was a family member of the authorCWatson entered Mr.Smith's office.The boss was a hard man.He fired people who didn't do well without giving them a second chance.“Watson，” said Mr.Smith，“this past year your department hasn't earned money.We're going to drop that department.It's finished.I'm sorry，—but you'll have to go.” “But，sir—if I just had a little more time.For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”“What's that！” said the boss.“Riverside！I didn't know you had a boy there.That's an expensive school for a man with your salary.”“I know，sir.But he likes it there so much！He's a star athlete and the best boxer in the school.The boys call him Champ (冠军)there.”The boss sat perfectly still for a long time—a faraway (恍惚的) look in his eyes.Then，suddenly，he said，“We've got to close your department，Watson.But you'll take over a new job in another department.It means longer hours—maybe more pay.Now get out.You're here for life.”Watson got out，with surprise on his face.Then the boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk.It was Herbie's last letter from Riverside School—written a few days before he died.He had read it over and over again with sick pain.The letter read：I can't say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were.I guess it's the same everywhere when you're a cripple (跛脚的人)．But don't worry about me，Dad.They've got a good chemistry department here.And there's one boy here who is really great.He's a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry.The boys call him Champ.He made them stop throwing my books around.And he knocked a boy down who hit me.He is the best friend I ever had.Dad，when I grow up，I want to do something for Champ.Something big—that he won't even know about.Your son，Herbie 29．Mr.Smith wanted to fire Watson because ________．A．Watson would take over a new job in another departmentB．Watson had his son study in Riverside SchoolC．Watson's son knocked a boy down who hit HerbieD．Watson's department didn't earn money that year30．We can learn from the text that ________．A．Mr.Smith didn't know that Champ was Watson's son at firstB．Mr.Smith was told not to fire Watson by HerbieC．Mr.Smith decided to give Watson another chance in no timeD．Mr.Smith wanted to realize Champ's dream31．According to the text，which words can best describe Mr.Smith?

The campaign is called Marvel Comics Close－Up, aimed at using comic books to encourage kids to read. Disney and Marvel donated 210，000 books to libraries and schools across the country.Stars from Disney XD participated. They read Spider－Man comic books to 70 kids from Boys & Girls Clubs in southern California. The stars included Drake Bell (Ultimate Spider－Man), Dylan Riley Snyder (Kickin' It), Olivia Holt (Kickin' It) and Cole Jenson (Crash & Bernstein)．Drake Bell said that the Marvel reading campaign is aimed at kids who are bored with books, believing comic books are the answer for kids who say they'd rather play video games. “Comic books really get you into the story，” he told TFK(Time For Kids). “They are not just words or pictures on a page.”Dylan Riley Snyder knows from his experiences that comic books have the power to inspire kids' imagination. His mom was a teacher and she used comic books to interest students who thought they weren't interested in reading. Dylan attended these classes. He would read the comic books and draw the characters along with the students. “It was a great way for t hese kids to start to enjoy reading，” Dylan said. “That's how I got interested in reading too. Now I can share my love for comic books with others through the Marvel Comics Close－Up program.”David Levine is the Vice President of Disney XD Worldwide. He said great stories and great characters, like Spider－Man and The Avengers, were key to making reading fun. “Reading can encourage you to explore new things and take you to all sorts of exciting places，” he told TFK.33．What is the main purpose of the Marvel reading campaign?A．To donate books to libraries and schools.B．To encourage students to use the library.C．To excite children's interest in reading.D．To introduce some new comic books.34．By saying “They are not just words or pictures on a page” in Parag raph 3, Drake Bell means ________．A．comic books make kids imaginative and interestedB．there are colorful pictures in most comic booksC．common books with only words are bad for kidsD．comic books are much better than common books35．Who stressed the benefit of reading?A．Drake Bell.

Have you ever looked toward the sky on a fall day and witnessed a group of migrating birds? If so, you probably noted the V-shaped formation of the birds or the birds flying in a ball-like formation. Why do birds fly this way? Many theories have been developed to explain the formation patterns of different types of birds.One theory is that birds fly in certain formations to take advantage of the laws of nature. The birds know that flying in a V-shaped pattern will save energy. Like the lead cyclist in a race who decreases wind force for the cyclists who follow, the lead bird cuts wind force for the birds that follow. This decrease in wind force means that the birds use up to 70 percent less energy during their flight. When the lead bird becomes tired, a more rested bird takes over that position.But saving energy is important for more than one reason. Sometimes food is short during migration flights. Keeping energy enables the birds to fly longer distances between meals.When food is sighted, the birds guide one another in a different way. When a bird identifies a familiar feeding area, it might turn around in order to signal the group to change direction. Then, this bird becomes the new leader. It helps guarantee that other birds will know exactly where it is going. Then the whole group makes a change in direction, gently streaming from the sky down to the ground. This formation is like an arrow pointing to the location of food.Scientists have also studied the birds that sometimes fly in a ball-like formation. Researchers believe that the birds come together if apredator（天敌）is spotted. The predator may then become impatient waiting for asingle bird to fly away from the group. The birds will often dip and dive as a group, frustrating even the most persistent enemy. Scientists reportthat this is a very effective method of defense against an attack.The birds care for their fellow fliers through teamwork. Astransportation expert Henry Ford once said, “If everyone is moving forwardtogether, then success takes care of itself.” When it comes to teamwork,these feathered fliers are a soaring success!1. According to the passage, we can learn that birds ___________.A. move faster than cyclistsB. prefer to fly in a V formationC. are smarter than other animalsD.play different roles in a formation2. When food is sighted, ____________.A. the group follows the discovererB. the lead bird decides what to doC. the discoverer leaves the groupD. the whole group forms a stream3. To protect themselves from attack, birds will _____________ .A. break into groupsB. come close togetherC. change directionsD. fly up and down4. Which is the best title for the passage?A. A Bird‟s-Eye View of Teamwork.B. Success Takes Care of Itself.C. The Strongest Will Survive.D. A Science Behind Flying.【科普知识型---阅读理解】It's a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals, and vice versa. Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behaviour. Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If your kitty is watching, she is likely to overeat as well.What is your cat's IQ?In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behaviour of their owners.“Cats are intelligent animals with a long memory, ”Jane Brunt, the executive director of the Catalyst Council, told Discovery News. “They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions, knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that's been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areasare.”Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding(搜刮)the fridge, your cat willreturn to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match”．So, if you feel guilty about leaving your precious kitty at home while you go to work, now you can feel even worse：you are making your cat fat!There's no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to yoga will benefit your cat, but based on the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping schedule is best for both of you.There's a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit on our laps softly purring with rhythmic breathing and halfclosed eyes, the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private lesson in inner meditation，”Brunt said. Sure. But cats don't have to sit in rush hour traffic for an hour a day or worry about their inlaws. They're probably pretty good at remaining calm.So, according to science, even though we assume that cats are not close to us all these years, it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?1．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A．Cats can copy humans' schedule.B．Humans can learn from cats in some way.C．Cats are smart and have a long memory.D．Green tea and yoga can benefit cats.2．What does the underlined word “this”in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．Humans' keeping searching the fridge.B．Cats' going to their owners for food.C．Cats' copying humans' habit of looking for food.D．Humans' leaving cats home while working.3．What can we learn from our cats?A．To remain calm.B．To be able to copy.C．To stay proud.D．To look up to friends.4．The best title for the passage could be “________”．A．Your cat can bring you pleasureB．You are copying your catC．You can make your cat socialD．Your cat is copying your habit短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

Who Owns the Moon?Within the next ten years, the U. S. , China, Israel, anda crowd of private companies plan to set up camp on the moon.So if and when they plant a flag, does that give them property(财产)rights?A NASA working group hosted a discussion this week to ask:Who owns the moon? The answer, of course, is no use. The OuterSpace Treaty, the international law signed by more than 100 countries, states that the moon and other celestial bodies(天体)are the province of all mankind. No doubt that would annoy all of the people throughout the ages, like monks from the Middle Ages, who have tried to claim the moon was theirs.But ownership is different from property rights. People who rent apartments, for example, don’t own where they live, but they still hold rights. So with all of the upcoming missions(派遣团)to visit the moon and beyond, space industry thought leaders are seriously asking themselves how to deal with a potential land rush.“This is a very relevant discussion right now. We’ve got this wave of new lunar missions from around the world, ”said William Marshall, a scientist in the small-spacecraft office at NASA, but who spoke this week at an event hosted by NASA’s Co Lab, a collaborative(协力完成的)public-private working group. He was speaking from his personal interest and not on behalf of the agency.To be sure, the United States aims to send astronauts back to the moon by as early as 2015, in a mission that would include a long-term settlement. China and Israel, among others, are also working on lunar projects. And for the first time, several private groups are building spacecraft to land on the moon in an attempt to win millions of dollars in the Google Lunar X Prize. Some participants say that they plan to gain some property rights in the mission.【文章大意】本文介绍了世界范围内的登陆月球热, 以及作者对这种现象的担忧。

Mention the terms Italian Culture and Renaissance Art and one is immediately reminded of the mysterious smile of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.The renaissance period had a deep effect on European culture development. Having its beginnings in Italy, by the 16th century, it had spread to the rest of Europe. Its influence was felt in different fields such as philosophy, literature, religion, science, politics, and, of course, art. The scholars of the renaissance period applied the humanist method in every field of study, and wanted human emotion and realism in art.Renaissance scholars studied the ancient Latin and Greek texts, searching the monastic(修道院的)libraries of Europe for works of ancient times that had become obscure, in their hunt for improving and perfecting their worldly knowledge. This was completely different from the religion that Christianity(基督教)stressed. However, that does not mean that they refused Christianity. In fact, much of the greatest works of the renaissance period was devoted to it, with the church supporting a lot of the works of renaissance art. However, there were slight changes in the manner in which the scholars began to treat religion, which affected the cultural life of the society, which in turn influenced the artists of that period and therefore was reflected in their art.In Raphael’s School of Athens, for example, some well-known people were described as classical scholars, with Leonardo da Vinci being given as much importance as Plato in his time. Giotto di Bondone, 1267—1337, a Florentine, who is regarded as the greatest Italian painter just earlier than the renaissance period, is thought to be the first artist who treated a painting as a window into space.However, it was only after the writings of Filippo Brunelleschi, 1377—1446, who is considered the first great builder of the Italian Renaissance, that perspective was formally accepted as an artistic technique.【文章大意】文章介绍了文艺复兴的发源地意大利在当时的背景下的文化特色和相关艺术家在这个时期的作用。

A Mountain of Green BeansAnother envelope in the mail. There’s my name, Alexander Spencer, typed on the front. I throw it under the bed. The piles of envelopes are growing.The envelopes were applications to all the colleges I was supposed to attend. I did open the first envelope. Then I saw the application, all those blank spaces I was supposed to fill with my own writing, spaces for my name and birth date and grade average and … statement of pu rpose. I looked at them for a long time. I could write for hours and not fill all those spaces. So I put the application back in the envelope. I would fill it out the next day, when I had time. But another envelope arrived. And then the pile began.The pile scares me — it is really like a monster. All the while, I feel the weight of a million envelopes raining down on my head until my grandmother calls me and wants to know how I am.“I am overcome by too many tasks,” I say.“Honey, you just take it bit by bit,” she says, and she reminds me about the green beans.When I was a little kid I hated green beans. But my mom said I couldn’t leave the table until I ate ten green beans. All alone at the table, I stared at the green beans for what seemed like hours. It was a mountain of green beans. I couldn’t do it.My grandma came to me and asked if I could eat one green bean.“But Grandma, I have to eat ten!”She said all I had to do was to eat one green bean. One tiny little green bean. So I ate one. It was bad, but not as bad as I’d thought it would be. Then she asked me again if I could eat one. So I ate one green bean nine more times.My grandma doesn’t know about the envelopes, but she tells me anyone can do one thing every day.Back in my room, I lay down on the bed. Just like I used to do when I was a little kid, I hang my head down to look at the pile of envelopes. There it is. But instead of a monster, I see a pile of green beans. Who’s afraid of green beans?1. Envelopes are piling up because the author _______.A.doesn’t know how to replyB.feels bored of the paper workC.doesn’t want to attend collegeD.has been too busy to open them2. What does the author learn from the story of the green beans?A. A good start is half done.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. A long journey begins with a single step.D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.3. What do you think the author will do next?A. He will fill out the applications one after another.B. He will go to the college that he dreams of.C. He will throw away all the envelopes.D. He will eat up the green beans.【参考答案】1—3、B C A阅读理解。

Then I saw the application, all those blank spaces I was supposed to fill with my own writing, spaces for my name and birth date and grade average and … statement of pu rpose. I looked at them for a long time. I could write for hours and not fill all those spaces. So I put the application back in the envelope. I would fill it out the next day, when I had time. But another envelope arrived. And then the pile began.The pile scares me — it is really like a monster. All the while, I feel the weight of a million envelopes raining down on my head until my grandmother calls me and wants to know how I am.“I am overcome by too many tasks,” I say.“Honey, you just take it bit by bit,” she says, and she reminds me about the green beans.When I was a little kid I hated green beans. But my mom said I couldn’t leave the table until I ate ten green beans. All alone at the table, I stared at the green beans for what seemed like hours. It was a mountain of green beans. I couldn’t do it.My grandma came to me and asked if I could eat one green bean.“But Grandma, I have to eat ten!”She said all I had to do was to eat one green bean. One tiny little green bean. So I ate one. It was bad, but not as bad as I’d thought it would be. Then she asked me again if I could eat one. So I ate one green bean nine more times.My grandma doesn’t know about the envelopes, but she tells me anyone can do one thing every day.Back in my room, I lay down on the bed. Just like I used to do when I was a little kid, I hang my head down to look at the pile of envelopes. There it is. But instead of a monster, I see a pile of green beans. Who’s afraid of green beans?1. Envelopes are piling up because the author _______.A.doesn’t know how to replyB.feels bored of the paper workC.doesn’t want to attend collegeD.has been too busy to open them2. What does the author learn from the story of the green beans?A. A good start is half done.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. A long journey begins with a single step.D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.3. What do you think the author will do next?A. He will fill out the applications one after another.B. He will go to the college that he dreams of.C. He will throw away all the envelopes.D. He will eat up the green beans.【参考答案】1—3、B C A阅读理解。

I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Loo king down, I immediately recognized that something was wron g, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holdin g her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the r ushing water would sweep the calf away.There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washe d clean over the mother’s body and was gone. Ma Shwe turne d quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and tr unk against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picke d it up in her trunk andtried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock. Just at this moment, she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death.

An Israeli law banning too-skinny models went into effect with the start of 2013. The law, approved last March in Israel, requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index(BMI)of at least 18. 5 for three months before a fashion show. That means a woman who is 5’8”tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.“This law is another step in the war against eating disorders, ”said physician Adatto. “Underweight models, ”he explained, “can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny. ”But some critics in this country say it is misguided, focusing on weight instead of health. They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry. “I think it’s an approach that isn’t going to work, ”said eating disorder expert Susan Ice, who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models.But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an aspiring model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized. He said, “I realized that only legislation(立法)can change the situation. There was no time to waste; so many girls were dieting to death. ”However, the efforts to regulate model’s weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in part because of difficulties i n determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health.Still, folks including Ice say there’s no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with. “Certainly I don’t believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disor ders, but it makes it harder, ”she says. “It’s a difficult recovery environment, worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal. ”【文章大意】本文讲述了以色列出台了一项新法律, 限制模特太瘦, 此项新法律引起了争议。

Increa sed use of the Internet and mobile pho nes is undermining pupils’ ability for independent study and promoting poor grammar, itwas claimed.Cranfield School of Managementfound almostsix in ten schoolchildrenwere copying informationdirectlyfrom websites for homework tasks withoutproperly reading it.More than a quarter thought it was an acceptable practice,even though they know it was considered plagiarism(剽窃).The study, based on a sample of around 260 pupils aged from 11 to 18 at a secondary school in the Midlands, raised concerns that modern technology was having a destructive effect on young people.Andrew Kakabadse, professor of international management development at Cranfield, said, “Our research shows that technology obsession(痴迷)prevents spelling skills, encourages plagiarism, and disturbs classroom learning. ”“Despite school policies restricting mobile phone usage, students use the phone frequently, with the majority making calls from the toilets. The mobile phone continues t o be a main channel of social communication during the school day. ”The report revealed that so-called“text-speak”was increasingly finding it was into pupils’ school work.Three in ten students admit to using text message shortcuts, such as“r u ok”in essays and classroom tasks.It followed a study earlier this year that found almost half of the teachers failed to understand some pupils’ writing because it was so full of confusing language. Phrases such as“innit”and“Gr8”were regularly found in school work.The Cranfield study found that mobile use was so common that many pupils chose to ignore school rules on phones.More than a third said they would use their mobile in class, while nearly three quarters said they would not even make an excuse to leave class to answer a phone call.【文章大意】使用互联网和手机的学生越来越多了。

Maggie was very glad that James was not a frequent visitor to the house. So far as the children were concerned, they had a mystery about him that stirred their imagination. He stirred Maggie’s anger, however, so that she often said to her husband, “It’s mercy that brother of yours doesn’t come oftener.”In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly, around eight o’clock in the evening, and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go. Instead, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add, “You’ll be getting on with the supper, Maggie.” Such was his regard for her.Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to keep her company, she said, but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James’s voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though rich, was mean. He always went home by the last train, just after two o’clock. Maggie’s children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had, in their mother’s words, “lost two wives and taken a third, ” They wondered about those two unfortunate lost ladies. They asked each other what their fate had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door.1. The underlined word “mercy” in the text most probably means _______.A. lossB. wonderC. lucky thingD. terrible thing2. Maggie never prepared anything special for James because _______.A. he was a man difficult to pleaseB. she never knew when he was comingC. she was too busy looking after her childrenD. he never stayed long enough for a meal3. What do we know about James’ behavior?A. He was a kind man, with love for the family.B. He was generous, especially towards his brother.C. He was anxious to please the family, especially the kids.D. He was rude to his sister-in-law.4. Maggie felt pleased when _______.A. she paid James the money that she owed himB. James gave some money to the childrenC. she had to wake James up to catch his trainD. James thanked her for the nice supper5. The children did not realize that two of James’ wi ves _______.A. had been deadB. suffered from loss of memoryC. had run away from himD. might appear again one day【答案与解析】本文讲Maggie和她的孩子们对他们的叔叔James来访的不欢迎。

For high school leavers starting out in the working world, it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find an internship(实习). In some countries, scho ols have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs are still few and far behind.Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school, graduate and go on to higher education.In Germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country’s most vulnerable(易受影响的)kids with no jobs and no skills.Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teach them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York, for example, encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while they’re still at high school.However, even for teens whose schools e ncourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting. In the US, unemployment rates for 16-to-19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row.“The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience, they w ill become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job, ”said Michael,a researcher in the US.【文章大意】文章通过与德国中学情况的比较, 说明在美国中学里很缺乏有关职业生涯的基本课程。

The British people love talking about the weather. This hot su mmer, Europe was caught in the heat wave, and many parts of were also been struggling with record-breaking temperatures. Therefore, there’s plenty for the Britis h people toget excited about. But beside from a simple“hot”, w hat other ways are there to describe the summer heat? Apart from phrases like“boiling hot”, there are many interesting expr essions that relate to unbearably hot weather.Dog days of summerIn books and newspaper articles, the period from early July to mid-August is often referred to as the“dog days of summer”. Some think the expression means the weather is so hot that dogs g o wild. But in fact, the expression comes from 16th century and refers to the days on which Sirius(天狼星)—the Dog Star—rises at the same time as the sun. The Romans associated the hot weather with this star and would sacrifice a dog every y ear in April to stop the anger of Sirius.So hot you can fry an egg on the sidewalkThis expression needs no explanation and although its origin i s unclear, it hasn’t stopped thousands of curious tourists from testing if the saying is true, with the result that sidewalks in De ath Valley, California—the hottest place in the US—are now littered with broken eggshells. Early in July, the local government asked tourists to stop their cooking experiments. Even so, it is actually possible to fry an egg on the sidewalk, s o long as you use a frying pan with a lid and the temperature i s at least 49℃.【文章大意】本文介绍了英语中描述炎热天气的几个习语。

In my experience, freshmen today are different from those I k new when I started as a professor 25 years ago. College has always been demanding both academically and socially. But s tudents now are less mature and often not ready for the respo nsibility of being in college.Many of today’s students lack resilience (适应力)and at the first sign of difficulty are unable to think out strat egies. The hardship can be a failing grade on a test, a cut fro m the team, or a romantic breakup.It is really too easy to point the finger at parents who protect t heir children from life’s obstacles. Parents, who handle every difficulty and every other responsibility for their children from writing admission essays to picking college courses, certainly may contribute to their ch ildren’s lack of coping strategies. But we can look even more broadly to the social trends of today. How many people do you know who are on medications (治疗) to prevent anxiety or depression? The number of students who arrive at college already medicated for unwanted emotio ns has increased dramatically in the past 10 years. We, as a s ociety, don’t want to“feel” anything unpleasant and we certainl y don’t want our children to“suffer”. The resulting problem is th at by not experiencing negative emotions, one does not learn the necessary skills to tolerate and solve problems.Our world is more stressful in general because of the current economic and political realities, but I don’t believe that the coll ege experience itself is more intense today than the past 10 y ears. What I do think is that many students are often not prep ared to be young “adults”with all the responsibilities of life.As parents, we should expect young people to meet challeng es. To encourage them in this direction, we have to step back and let them fail and pick themselves up and move forward. T his approach needs to begin at an early age so that college c an actually be a passage to independent adulthood.1. The best title of the text probably is_____A. Have College Freshmen Changed?B. What Should College Faculty and Staff Do Today?C. What Difficulty Are Freshmen Facing?D. How to Get Used to College Life for Freshmen?2. According to the text, today’s freshmen_____.A. are not good at dealing with problemsB. often fail in the examsC. can’t get along well with classmatesD. have to experience more intense college life3. If freshmen become more mature to face and solve proble ms, they should______.A. experience negative emotions themselvesB. ask parents, teachers and coaches for more helpC. receive medications to prevent anxiety or depressionD. put their hearts and soul into the study4. The text is mainly written for_____.A. teachersB. parentsC. studentsD. psychologists【参考答案】1—4、AAAB阅读理解。

高中英语真题:2016高考英语阅读理解和短文改错选练（4）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Mail carriers will be delivering some good news and some bad news this week.The bad news:Stamp prices are expected to rise 2 cents in May to 41 cents, the Postal Regulatory Commission announced yesterday. The good news:With the introduction of a “forever stamp,” it may be the last ti me Americans have to use annoying 2-or 3-cent stamps to make up postage differences.Beginning in May, people would be able to purchase the stam ps in booklets of 20 at the regular rate of a first-class stamp. As the name implies, “forever stamps” will keep t heir first-class mailing value forever, even when the postage rate goes up.The new “forever stamp” is the United States Postal Service’s(USPS) answer to the complaints about frequent rate increas es. The May increase will be the fifth in a decade. Postal rates have risen because of inflation(通货膨胀), competition from online bill paying, and the rising costs of employee benefits, including healthcare, says Mark Saunder s, a spokesman for USPS.The USPS expects some financial gain from sales of the “fore ver stamp” and the savings from not printing as many 2-or 3-cent stamps. “It’s not your grandfather’s stamp,” says Mr. Sau nders. “It could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp.”Other countries, including Canada, England, and use similar stamps.Don Schilling, who has collected stamps for 50 years, says he ’s interested in the public’s reaction. “This is an entirely new cl ass of stamps,” Mr. Schilling says. He adds that he’ll buy the s tamps because he will be able to use them for a long period o f time, not because they could make him rich—the volume printed will be too large for collectors. “We won’t b e able to send our kids to college on these,” he says, laughing .The USPS board of governors has yet to accept the Postal R egulatory Commission’s decision, but tends to follow its reco mmendations. No plans have been announced yet for the design of the stamps.1. The main purpose of introducing a “forever stamp” is.A. to reduce the cost of printing 2-or 3-cent stampsB. to help save the consumers’ cost on first-class mailingC. to respond to the complaints about rising postal ratesD. to compete with online bill paying2. By saying “It could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp”, Mr Saunders means that forever stam ps .A. could be collected by one’s great-grandchildrenB. might be very precious in great-grandchildren’s handsC. might have been inherited from one’s great-grandfathersD. could be used by one’s great-grandchildren even decades later3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The investment in forever stamps will bring adequate rewar d.B. America will be the first country to issue forever stamps.C. The design of the “forever stamp” remains to be revealed.D. 2-or 3-cent stamps will no longer be printed in the future.4. What can be concluded from the passage?A. With forever stamps, there will be no need to worry about r ate changes.B. Postal workers will benefit most from the sales of forever st amps.C. The inflation has become a threat to the sales of first-class stamps.D. New interest will be aroused in collecting forever stamps.【参考答案】1-4 CDCA阅读理解。

There are many rights to make sure that people will be treated fairly when they aresuspected or accused of a crime. Sometimes these rights are called "due process of law". In using these rights, a person should have the help of a lawyer.You have a right to protect against unreasonable searches and seizures. The police generally may not search you or your home, or take things you own, without a "warrant".A warrant is a paper which states, very exactly , the place to be searched and the things to be taken. Sometimes, however, the police will not need a warrant to search you or your property. If an officer sees you committing a crime, or if he has a good reason to believe you have committed a serious crime, he may arrest you and search you and the area right around you without a warrant.If you invite a police without a warrant to come into your house and he finds proof of crime, the evidence may be used against you in court. If you do not want an officer to search you or your home and he does not have a warrant, tell him that you do not give him the right to search. However, if the officer will not listen, do not try to stop him. It is dangerous to resist and it may be illegal to do so. Any evidence which a policeman gets during an unlawful search and seizure cannot be used against you. Police officers must act reasonably and fairly at all times. They should use physical force only when it is needed to arrest someone to enforce a law. They may not use physical violence to "teach someone a lesson".43. According to the passage, a "warrant" is______.A. an identification cardB. an access cardC. a special licenseD. an official written order【参考答案】43-46 DACB阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
