Millions of people visit Yosemite National Park every year to see the tall waterfalls and mountains.The mountains are a splendid sight when viewed from the valley floor.Lots of stores,hotels,and restaurants are needed to handle the crowds.Also,water,roads,and other service systems are part of theinfrastructure(基础设施)that must be maintained.Unfortunately,these systems are starting to break down.It's not just in Yosemite but in national parks around the nation.Yosemite is thirty years old according to Dennis Calvin,a National Park Service worker.The park is not only old but worn out.Two or three times as many visitors come every year.That is too many visitors for the park to deal with.Four years ago a storm washed out a water pipeline in the Grand Canyon.The National Park Service had to send water trucks to provide water for the st month pipes almost broke again and roads had to be closed for a while.Why hasn't the National Park Service kept up the park repairs?There is a lack of money.The United States has 378 monuments,parks,and wilderness areas.Between three and four billion dollars are needed for repairs.Yosemite is one national park that does have money for repairs.It has two hundred million dollars but cannot spend it any way it chooses.When the park workers started widening the road, they were forced to stop by the Sierra Club.The club claimed that the road work was damaging the Merced River that runs through the park.A Sierra Club lawyer, Julia Olson, feels that the infrastructure needs to be moved out of Yosemite.That way less pressure will be put on the already crowded park.1.According to the text,the mountains in Yosemite look splendid when they are appreciated from ________.A.the bottom of the valleysB.the top of the mountainsC.the side of the mountainsD.the edge of the valleys2.National parks like Yosemite in the U.S.find it increasingly difficult to meet the need of visitors because ________.A.their transport management needs improvingB.they spend too much on their service systemsC.their service systems frequently go out of orderD.they need help from environmental organizations3.The main problem of Yosemite National Park is its ________.A.rundown water pipesB.over crowdednessC.lack of moneyD.narrow roads4.According to the text,the Sierra Club is most likely to be ________.A.an environmental groupB.an information centerC.a travel serviceD.a law firm【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

Amsterdam,which is flat,is called the “City of Bicycles” because of its1.convenience(convenient) for bicycles there.To save energy and reduce2.pollution(pollute),a group of cycling fans had an idea.They painted many bicycles white and placed them in many neighborhoods3.so that everyone was allowed4.to_use(use)a bike for short journeys.5.However,later,all the bikes were taken by thieves within weeks.With the6.development(develop) of modern science and technology,the “white bike”7.with a computer chip is back in town! The new “white bike” is an unusual design with bright colours and they are parked at special8.parking(park) places,so people9.who want to use them have to take them to another special parking place. 10.Thanks(thank) to the good ideas,many people around the world can enjoy city centre streets without cars.Ⅰ.阅读理解Q:Mr.Paul Tough,what made you want to write How Children Succeed?A:In 2008,I published my first book,Whatever It ter I realized I still had a lot of questions about what really happens in childhood.How Children Succeed is an attempt to answer those questions:Why do certain children succeed while other children fail?Why is it,exactly,that poor children are less likely to succeed?What can we all do to guide more kids toward success?Q:What did you learn about kids growing up in poverty(贫穷)?A:The traditional wisdom is that the big problem for low-income kids is that they don’t get enough cognitive stimulation(认知激励) early on.In fact,what seems to have more of an effect is the chaotic environments that many low-income kids grow up in.Q:How does failure help us succeed?A:I don’t think it’s quite true that failure itself helps us succeed.In fact,repeated failures can be quite devastating to a child’s development.What I think is important on the road to success is learning to deal with failure,to manage unfavourable conditions.That’s a skill that parents can certainly help their children develop.Q:How did writing this book affect you as a parent?A:It made me more relaxed as a parent.When my son was born,I was very much caught up in the idea of childhood as a race.Now I’m less concerned about my son’s reading and counting ability.Don’t get me wrong.I still want him to know that stuff.But what I’m more concerned about is his character.1.Why did Paul Tough write How Children Succeed?A.To discuss some issues.B.To explain his first book.C.To analyse some phenomena.D.To put forward some questions.2.What has a larger influence on poor kids according to Paul Tough?A.The conventional idea.B.Their living conditions.C.The spiritual stimulation.D.Their personal ambitions.3.What does the underlined word “devastating” in the text mean?A.Important.B.Beneficial.C.Harmful.D.Unfair.4.After writing the book,Paul Tough .A.regards childhood as a raceB.has improved his writing abilityC.i s more worried about his son’s lessonsD.pays more attention to his son’s personalityBA European Union program is letting blind people experience famous paintings forthe first time.It uses threedimensional(3D)printing to recreate famous paintings so they can be touched.One painting printed with the new technology is Gustav Klimt's“The Kiss”.It is a popular attraction at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna,Austria.The painting shows a man and a woman standing in a field filled with flowers.They are wearing gold robes and have their arms around each other.The man leans down to kiss the woman.Klimt finished the painting in 1908.Until now,people who had trouble seeing could not appreciate the artwork.But thanks to the reproduction they can touch the piece and feel the ridges and depressions.Andreas Reichinger started making 3D versions of artwork in 2010.He said this reproduction was his most difficult project because the couple's robes are so detailed.Dominika Raditsch is a blind museum visitor.She touched the reproduction.As she moved her hands around it she said,“Exactly,can you see these?There are so many details.”Raditsch said she could imagine what the original painting looks like when she touched the reproduction,“It's somehow round.You can feel it.You can feel it.It comes with it.And in many places it's so smooth.And then I think to myself:it probably shines too!”Raditsch said.The Belvedere is not the only museum to have 3D versions of its artwork.Some of the pieces at the Prado Museum,in Madrid,Spain have reproductions that can be touched.But the piece in Vienna has one special part:it is made with widely available 3D printing technology.That means one day,blind art fans anywhere in the world could download the source files and print the reproductions themselves.1.What is“The Kiss”?A.A European Union project.B.A popular painting.C.A 3D technology.D.A famous museum.2.Why did Reichinger say this reproduction was difficult to finish?A.The painting was reproduced detailedly.B.The original artwork was made in 1908.C.Blind art fans can't download the source.D.The 3D technology is not available.3.How did Raditsch feel when she first touched the reproduction?A.Awkward.

On Christmas Eve, 1944, my grandmother urged my uncle, then 12 years old, to slip out of the concentration camp where they were imprisoned near 15 miles east of Vienna to go to Deutsch-Wagram. “People are charitable around Christmastime,”Grandma Lili said to her son, Gyuri. “Ask for some food. Anything they can spare. Tell them that we’re on the edge of starvation. Tell them that your 3-year-old sister can not get off the bed because she’s outgrown her shoes.”In the dark of that night, Gyuri secretly left the camp and walked nearly four miles to Deutsch-Wagram, the closest town. He happened upon a house and knocked on the front door. A woman opened that door. She was probably alone, her man far away, fighting in the war, her children asleep in their beds. The12-year-old pieced together in German exactly what his mother had told him to say.“Come back tomorrow," whispered the woman. The next day, my uncle returned. The woman opened the door with a smile. She piled his hands with bread, clothing, a pair of shoes that her child had outgrown and a pair of socks. The woman had knitted warm socks for my mother. After putting on the socks and shoes that fit, my mother got off the bed in delight. Her ragged shoes were passed on to a younger child who was also living in the camp. They shared their unexpected harvest with the entire camp. It was a quiet celebration of human kindness around Christmastime.In April 1945, my mother, uncle and grandmother were liberated. And it was those very socks and shoes that my mother wore as she walked some 28 miles over two days to Bratislava on her walk to a new life.To the unknown giver, I thank you. In the desperation of a cold and snowy land, when many hearts were closed and death was more likely than life, especially for Jews, you gave them hope and comfort.1.What did Gyuri manage to do on Christmas Eve?A. Get permitted to go out.B. Receive food and clothing.C. Express what his family needed.D. Celebrate Christmas in the camp2.Why does the author mention shoes so many times?A. To prove the truth of the story.B. To help the development of the story.C. To attract readers’attention to the story.D. To make clear the background of the story.3.What feeling did the author write the text with?A. DesperationB. Gratefulness.C. ExcitementD. Sorrow.4.What is the passage mainly about?A. Light in darknessB. Peace to common peopleC. Courage in face of dangerD. The influence of Christmas【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons—for example, economic reasons —why they should be preserved.So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的) and do not like change.Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文,讨论了现代建筑是否应该和古老的历史建筑建在一起。

Few people are aware that Waterloo Bridge, crossed by thousands of daily commuters(通勤者) and celebrated as a London landmark, was mainly built by a female workforce.There are no written or photographic records of the women who built the bridge since the construction company that built it closed in the 1980s and with it went all the records.

Plastic sludge(污泥)and garbage is a disaster for the world's oceans.A film crew traveled the globe to document the rubbish.And Julie Andersen of the Plastic Oceans Foundation says what we see is just the tip of the problem.“Half of the was te actually sinks to the bottom,and that that remains on the surface actually breaks down.”The filmmakers found rubbish in ocean gyres,the circulating currents that trap large concentrations of pollution in the Atlantic,Indian,and Pacific Oceans,home of w hat some have called a plastic island.“What we found in the center of the Pacific was not a floating island of plastic.What we found was a plastic smog that spread throughout all the water.And in some parts of the oceans,scientists have found more plastic than plant.”The pieces of the plastic garbage infect the food chain,sometimes visibly,and more so at the microscopic level,where the plastic particles interact with other pollutants.“There are heavy metals,medicines,industrial waste in the sea,while it acts like magnets(磁铁).These poisonous substances absorb on the plastic,and then when seafood absorbs the plastics,those poisonous substances enter the fatty tissues.”To be consumed by other sea life and by people at last.China,Indonesia,the Philippines,Thailand and Vietnam are the worst plastic polluters.The United States,although a leader in recycling,is one of the world's 20 since it produces and consumes so much plastic.There are efforts around the world to address the problem,including at this newly opened recycling center in Lebanon(黎巴嫩).But Andersen says there is more that people can do.“Cut back on singleuse plastics,straws,plastic cups,plastic water bottles,plastic bags and find alternatives like reusable materials.”She says healthy oceans are essent ial to our survival.1.What can we learn from the passage?A.There's an island full of plastic rubbish in the Pacific.B.The bad effect of plastic pollution can't be seen by eyes.C.The United States is the least plastic polluters.D.The plastic pollution to oceans is more serious than what we can see.2.What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?A.Pollutants like heavy metals and medicines.B.The plastic particles.C.Seafood.D.Fatty tissues.3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.All Asian countries have the most serious problem of plastic pollution.B.The plastic problem hasn't attracted the world's attention.C.Andersen is not satisfied with what has been done to solve the plastic problem.D.People should stop using plastic products immediately.4.Which may be the title of the passage?A.Plastic pollution in the WorldB.Plastic pollution—Oceans' DisasterC.Ways to solve the problem of plastic pollution to oceansD.Plastic pollution and our health【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

On Christmas Eve, 1944, my grandmother urged my uncle, then 12 years old, to slip out of the concentration camp where they were imprisoned near 15 miles east of Vienna to go to Deutsch-Wagram. “People are charitable around Christmastime,” Grandma Lili said to her son, Gyuri. “Ask for some food. Anything they can spare. Tell them that we’re on the edge of starvation. Tell them that your 3-year-old sister can not get off the bed because she’s outgrown her shoes.”In the dark of that night, Gyuri secretly left the camp and walked nearly four miles to Deutsch-Wagram, the closest town. He happened upon a house and knocked on the front door. A woman opened that door. She was probably alone, her man far away, fighting in the war, her children asleep in their beds. The 12-year-old pieced together in German exactly what his mother had told him to say.“Come back tomorrow," whispered the woman. The next day, my uncle returned. The woman opened the door with a smile. She piled his hands with bread, clothing, a pair of shoes that her child had outgrown and a pair of socks. The woman had knitted warm socks for my mother. After putting on the socks and shoes that fit, my mother got off the bed in delight. Her ragged shoes were passed on to a younger child who was also living in the camp. They shared their unexpected harvest with the entire camp. It was a quiet celebration of human kindness around Christmastime.In April 1945, my mother, uncle and grandmother were liberated. And it was those very socks and shoes that my mother wore as she walked some 28 miles over two days to Bratislava on her walk to a new life.To the unknown giver, I thank you. In the desperation of a cold and snowy land, when many hearts were closed and death was more likely than life, especially for Jews, you gave them hope and comfort.1.What did Gyuri manage to do on Christmas Eve?A. Get permitted to go out.B. Receive food and clothing.C. Express what his family needed.D. Celebrate Christmas in the camp2.Why does the author mention shoes so many times?A. To prove the truth of the story.B. To help the development of the story.C. To attract readers’ attention to the story.D. To make clear the background of the story.3.What feeling did the author write the text with?A. DesperationB. Gratefulness.C. ExcitementD. Sorrow.4.What is the passage mainly about?A. Light in darknessB. Peace to common peopleC. Courage in face of dangerD. The influence of Christmas【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

Plastic sludge(污泥)and garbage is a disaster for the world's oceans.A film crew traveled the globe to document the rubbish.And Julie Andersen of the Plastic Oceans Foundation says what we see is just the tip of the problem.“Half of the waste actually sinks to the bottom,and that that remains on the surface actually breaks down.”The filmmakers found rubbish in ocean gyres,the circulating currents that trap large concentrations of pollution in the Atlantic,Indian,and Pacific Oceans,home o f what some have called a plastic island.“What we found in the center of the Pacific was not a floating island of plastic.What we found was a plastic smog that spread throughout all the water.And in some parts of the oceans,scientists have found more plast ic than plant.”The pieces of the plastic garbage infect the food chain,sometimes visibly,and more so at the microscopic level,where the plastic particles interact with other pollutants.“There are heavy metals,medicines,industrial waste in the sea,while it acts like magnets(磁铁).These poisonous substances absorb on the plastic,and then when seafood absorbs the plastics,those poisonous substances enter the fatty tissues.”To be consumed by other sea life and by people at last.China,Indonesia,the Philippines,Thailand and Vietnam are the worst plastic polluters.The United States,although a leader in recycling,is one of the world's 20 since it produces and consumes so much plastic.There are efforts around the world to address the problem,including at this newly opened recycling center in Lebanon(黎巴嫩).But Andersen says there is more that people can do.“Cut back on singleuse plastics,straws,plastic cups,plastic water bottles,plastic bags and find alternatives like reusable materials.”She says healthy oceans are ess ential to our survival.1.What can we learn from the passage?A.There's an island full of plastic rubbish in the Pacific.B.The bad effect of plastic pollution can't be seen by eyes.C.The United States is the least plastic polluters.D.The plastic pollution to oceans is more serious than what we can see.2.What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?A.Pollutants like heavy metals and medicines.B.The plastic particles.C.Seafood.D.Fatty tissues.3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.All Asian countries have the most serious problem of plastic pollution.B.The plastic problem hasn't attracted the world's attention.C.Andersen is not satisfied with what has been done to solve the plastic problem.D.People should stop using plastic products immediately.4.Which may be the title of the passage?A.Plastic pollution in the WorldB.Plastic pollution—Oceans' DisasterC.Ways to solve the problem of plastic pollution to oceansD.Plastic pollution and our health【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

Unit 2 Poems李仕才一、阅读理解.Few people are aware that Waterloo Bridge, crossed by thousands of daily commuters(通勤者) and celebrated as a London landmark, was mainly built by a female workforce。
There are no written or photographic records of the women who built the bridge since the construction company that built it closed in the 1980s and with it went all the records. What’s left is anecdotal evidence, kept alive by the tourist boat captains who have called it the Ladies’ Bridge.During the Second World War, with the majority of the active male labor force away at the front, women increasingly took on traditionally male roles. By 1944, 25,000 women were working in the construction industry, carrying out back。

Others had female identities.Some male jurors were angry about the judgment.When this happened,the students reacted by doubting their own decisions about the case.Confidence in their responses on the judgment “dropped obviously,”said the study.But,when female jurors seemed angry,the student participants“became obviously more confident in their original judgments,”the study found.The study could have wider importance.“Our results have implications(启示)for any woman who is trying to have influence on a decision in their workplace and everyday lives,”said Salerno.She added that in a political debate,a female candidate might have less influence if she shows anger.1.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Powerful Men Must Be Those Who Often Get AngryB.Women,be Careful Not to Turn Angry EasilyC.Angry Men Win Influence While Angry Women LoseD.Angry Women Are Not Unfit for Leaders While Men Are2.The underlined word“rated”in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by“________.”A.forgaveB.ignoredC.regardedD.praised3.How did the students react to the female jurors' anger with their judgments?A.They more firmly stuck to their judgments.B.They began to doubt about their judgments.C.They gave up their judgments willingly.D.They had to change their judgments.4.If a woman politician wants to have more influence,she'd better________.A.always keep smilingB.avoid losing her temperC.become angryD.give orders firmly参考答案: 1.C; 2.C; 3.A; 4.B解析: 1.[主旨大意题。

Few people are aware that Waterloo Bridge, crossed by thousands of daily commuters(通勤者) and celebrated as a London landmark, was mainly built by a female workforce.There are no written or photographic records of the women who built the bridge since the construction company that built it closed in the 1980s and with it went all the records. What’s left is anecdotal evidence, kept alive by the t ourist boat captains who have called it the Ladies’ Bridge.During the Second World War, with the majority of the active male labor force away at the front, women increasingly took on traditionally male roles. By 1944, 25,000 women were working in the construction industry, carrying out backbreaking tasks. These women were permitted to carry out this exhausting and dangerous work on the basis that it would only be temporary and that their pay would be lower than that of men. So the trend in women working in construction and engineering did not continue after the war.September sees a series of events celebrating the unknown work of the large female workforce. Musician Claudia Molitor has created a 45minute musical entitled “the Singing Bridge”, which runs at Somerset House from 9 to 25 September. In late September, the “Light up the Ladies’ Bridge” event sees the National Theatre’s fly tower lit up by large scale photographic projections(投影) of female construction workers working in construction during World War Ⅱ.Let’s all celebrate the women who have helped to build the cities in which we live.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

二、语法填空。
Have you ever heard that we humans use only ten percent of our brains? This myth holds __1__ certain appeal because if it __2__ (be) true, then we could instantly become ten times __3__ (intelligent) just by firing up that sleepy majority of the brain!The idea that we use only a small fraction of the brain dates back to animal experiments in the 19th century. When scientists __4__ (stimulate) a specific part of the brain, the animal moved __5__ (it) leg or tail. And some scientists assumed that large parts of the brain were simply useless.Then, in the early 20th century, scientists observed that stimulating certain regions of the brain had no physical effects, which __6__ (call) the “silent cortex”. Today we know that much of the “silent cortex” is actually devoted to complex activities like language, learning and imagining.Actually, __7__ we sleep, many areas of the brain are extremely active. Would you be smarter if your entire brain constantly worked to maximum capacity? __8__ (interest) enough, the opposite is probably true. The less brain activity you need to perform a __9__ (give) task, the more the brain as a whole is capable __10__ doing.1.________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________5.________6.________7.________8.________9.________ 10.________篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。
我们人类只使用了大脑的百分之十?是否激活沉睡的大部分大脑我们就可以比现在聪明十倍?很遗憾,科学证明事实并不是这样的!1.a 考查冠词。
hold a certain appeal “有一些吸引力”。
2.were 考查虚拟语气。
根据空格后的“then we could instantly become ...”可知,此处是与现在事实相反的假设,要用虚拟语气,故此处用were。
3.more intelligent 考查形容词的比较级。
由设空前的“ten times”可知,此处表示比较,指(比以前)聪明十倍,应填形容词的比较级,而intelligent是多音节形容词,故填more intelligent。
4.stimulated 考查动词的时态。
本句描述19世纪科学家所做的实验,因此用一般过去时。
5.its 考查代词。
这里its指代the animal's。
6.are called 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。
which引导非限制性定语从句,which在从句中指代regions,此处描述一种研究发现,且call与regions是逻辑上的动宾关系,故填are called。
