AI think machine power is better than human power because we cannot survive without our daily used machines like bikes, coolers, computers, etc.Started on 14-Apr-2008 By SmithE-mail: rksscet12@Johnson6-May-2008 Yes, it’s very clear that machine power is better than man power. But machine power h as its limitations (局限). It cannot survive without electricity and manhandling. If it doesn’t have these two then it is completely useless. So man should not completely depend on machines. One more point is that because of the use of machines man has become lazy. This laziness has brought in many problems like obesity, arthritis (关节炎) and other health problems. But I am not saying that man should completely turn from machine power to man power. He should have a balance of both. Even I can’t think of life without a car, a compu ter and a cooler.Sally9-May-2008 Humans only created the machines. So, human power is greater than machine power. To do the things quickly we created the machines. But machines cannot think. That thinking power beats machine power. Tina17-May-2008 But without humans there is no value of any machine. If someone wants to use his machine perfectly then one must have expert labor or man power.Tommy19-May-2008 Hi to all, my opinion is that human power is more powerful than machine power, because human beings created the machines. Human brain works more com-pared to machines.Mike20-May-2008 I think human power is better than machine power because even if we travel on foot to near places the money will not be wasted and we can get exercise.1. Who agrees with Smith generally?A. Tommy.B. Tina.C. Sally.D. Johnson.2. According to Johnson, man should ______.A. completely depend on machine powerB. keep a balance between human power and machine powerC. turn from machine power to man power completelyD. live a life without a car, a computer or a cooler 3. Sally thinks that human power is better than machine power because ______.A. machines are useless without electricityB. machine power can make people become lazyC. machines can’t think like human beingsD. human brain can do things quickly4. Which of the following questions are the speakers talking about in the passage?A. Will machine power defeat human power?B. Which is better, human power or machine power?C. What limitations does machine power have?D. Will machines think in the future?BOne sixth of undergraduates (本科生) in Beijing this year have registered at a driving school. The students, mostly from majors such as business management or international trade , will finish their driving courses within 20 days or so .Training costs have dropped to 2,600yuan for students , according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing . The price is not really low , but students will accept it , seeing it as an investment (投资) in their future . Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job . But a driver’s permit has become another factor.―In the job market , owning a driver’s permit sometimes strengthens a graduating student’s competitiveness for a good position ,‖ says Zhou Yang , an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and Law .Cars will become a necessary part of many people’s lives in the coming years , and it’s difficult to get a permit out of campus because of the pressures on working people’s time . ―Having a full-time job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive . We senior students have plenty of spare time , plenty of opportunities to learn.‖Xu Jian , an official at the driving school, said undergraduates were very able and serious , and could grasp in an hour what it took ordinary people four hours to learn . In this driving school, middle-aged people , young women and college students are the main customers .To get a drive r’s permit , a beginner is now required to have at least 86 hours’ practice before the final road test .5.The undergraduates are learning to drive because _________ .A.they like to drive cars B.most of them will be able to buy cars in the futureC.they need this skill to find a good job . D.they want to become full-time drivers after graduation 6.Which of the following is Xu Jian’s opinion of students learning to drive ?A.He decided it was a waste of money and time . B.He thought they must learn it at school .C.He thought they would spend three times more time .D.He agreed that young people had an advantage in learning to drive .7.Which of the following would be the best title of this passage ?A.Students Learn to Drive B.Welcome to Driving SchoolC.It’s Better to Learn to Drive at College D.Students Pay Less to Learn to Drive NowCMost children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. Some are shy ―in real life‖ but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as arguments. Goingonline is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive (冒犯性的) or illegal aims. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers.To keep children safe your management must cover the family computer. Just as you decide which TV pro-grams are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Reminding them of the risks will keep them alert (警惕).Computer studies are part of schoolwork now, so it’s likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the latest gad-gets and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards, which are especially strange. The language of chat is strange to many parents, too. Chatters love to use abbreviations (缩写) such as: atb — all the best, bbfn — bye bye for now, cul8er — see you later, gr8 —great, Idk —I don’t know, imbl — it must be love, kit — keep in touch, paw — parents are watching, lol —laugh out loud, xlnt — excellent!8. The passage is meant for ______.A. childrenB. parentsC. teachersD. net bar owners9. Which of the following will the author probably agree with?A. The chat language is strange to adults.B. The Internet is no good for children.C. Children shouldn’t chat so muc h online.D. The Internet is a good place for children.10. In order to keep children safe online, you’d better ______.A. choose suitable websites and chat rooms for themB. teach them to use correct net wordsC. surf the Internet together with themD. forbid them to use the Internet11. If you stand beside him when your son is chatting about something secret online, he may use ______.A. bbfnB. lolC. pawD. cul8erDWe were on tour a few summers ago, driving through Chicago, when right outside of the city, we got pulled over. A middle – aged policeman came up to the car and was really being troublesome at first. Lecturing us, he said, ―You were speeding. Where are you going in such a hurry?‖ Our guitarist, Tim, told him that we were o n our way to Wisconsin to play a show. His way towards us totally changed. He asked, ―Oh, so you boys are in a band (乐队)?‖ We told him that we were. He then asked all the usual band questions about the type of music we played, and how long we had been at i t. Suddenly, he stopped and said, ―Tim, you want to get out of this ticket, don’t you?‖ Tim said, ―Yes.‖ So the officer asked him to step out of the car. The rest of us, inside the car, didn’t know what to think as we watched the policeman talk to Tim. Nex t thing we knew, the policeman was putting Tim in the back of the police car he had parked in front of us. With that, he threw the car into reverse (倒车), stopping a few feet in back of our car. Now we suddenly felt frightened. We didn’t know if we were all going to prison, or if the policeman was going to sell Tim on the black market or something. All of a sudden, the policeman’s voice came over his loudspeaker, He said, ―Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever, we have Tim here singing on Route 90.‖ Turns out, the policeman had told Tim that the only way he was getting out of the ticket was if he sang part of one of our songs over the loudspeaker in the police car. Seconds later, Tim started screaming into the receiver. The policeman enjoyed the performance, and sent us on our way without a ticket.12. What does the phrase ―pull over‖ in the first paragraph mean?A. drag awayB. stopC. crash downD. break13. The policeman stopped the boys to ________.A. put them into prisonB. give them a ticketC. enjoy their performanceD. ask some band question14. The policeman became friendly to the boys when he knew they ________.A. had long been at the bandB. played the music he lovedC. were driving for a showD. promised him a performance15. What can we infer from the story?A. The policeman was mad.B. The singers won’t get the ticketC. They were recoganized here and thereD. The policeman was a music fan第二节:任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

中山一中2015-2016学年度第一学期第一次段考高二英语试题第一局部阅读理解〔共15小题;每一小题2分,总分为30分〕阅读如下短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、 B、C和D〕中,选出最优选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AHow many men do housework? Recently a European commission tried to find out people’s ideas and reactions to the women’s movement. As part of their survey, they asked many men and women the question,〞 Who does the housework? 〞 The men answered very differently from the women!The housework they asked people about were: preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and babysitting. 48% of British husbands said they did these things. 37% of Danish(丹麦的) men helped in the house. But only 15% of Italian men said they did the housework; many of them said they never helped at all!But there was an interesting point of view from the wives. According to British wives, only 38% of their husbands helped in the house. And Italian wives said that their husbands hardly ever helped. The Italian and British men did not tell the truth! The Commission found that Danish men were the most truthful husbands. Their answers were the same as their wives’ answers.Do the men you know help in the house? Do you think the survey gives a true picture in your experience? Write and tell us what you think.1. The survey was carried out in .A. BritainB. ItalyC. DenmarkD. Europe2. The subject for the survey is .A. how many boys do the houseworkB. who does the housework at homeC. how many women do the houseworkD. who are more diligent, wives or husbands3. From the passage we can see that .A. there were more husbands who did the housework than wivesB. husbands did half of the housework all the timeC. there were more wives who did the housework than husbandsD. wives did almost all the housework at home4. More husbands help in the house than husbands.A. British; DanishB. Italian; DanishC. Danish; BritishD. Italian; BritishBBrenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl. She had one big dream—to play the drums in a band. But one big problem lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit〔成套设备〕 and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: ''If those old people next –door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.''5.Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?A. Because she didn't want others to hear her playB. Because she didn't mean to disturb others.C. Because she didn't have her own roomD. Because she didn’t like her neighbors.6.Brenda started to give concerts .A. after she practiced in her space bubbleB. when she became part of the unique space journeyC. after she became a real musical astronautD. when people came to see her inthe space bubble7.Brenda became famous because .A. she was good at music and scienceB. she became a real musical astronautC. she invented a special way of practiceD. she played well and had a talent 8.It can be inferred from the text that: " ".A. He laughs best who laughs lastB. It's never too old to learnC. Two heads are better than oneD. One good turn deserves anotherCFour people in England back in 1953, stared at Photo 51. It wasn’t much—a picture showing a black X. But three of these people won the Nobel Prize for figuring out what the photo really showed –the shape of DNA .The discovery brought fame and fortune to scientists James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins. The fourth, the one who actually made the picture, was left out.Her name was Rosalin d Franklin. “She should have been up there,〞 says historian Mary Bowden. “If her photos hadn’t been there, the others couldn’t have come up with the structure.〞 One reason Franklin was missing was that she had died of cancer four years before the Nobel decision. But now scholars doubt that Franklin was not only robbed of her life by disease but robbed of credit by her competitors At Cambridge University in the 1950s, Watson and Crick tried to make models by cutting up shapes of DNA’s parts and then putting them together. In the meantime, at King’s College in London, Franklin and Wilkins shone X-rays at the molecule(分子). The rays produced patterns reflecting the shape.But Wilkins and Franklin’s relationship was a lot rockier than the celebrated teamwork of Watson and Crick, Wilkins thought Franklin was hired to be his assistant .But the college actually employed her to take over the DNA project.What she did was produce X-ray pictures that told Watson and Crick that one of their early models was inside out. And she was not shy about saying so. That angered Watson, who attacked her in return, “Mere inspection suggested that she would not easily bend. Clearly she had to go or be put in her place.〞As Franklin’s competitors, Wilkins, Watson and Crick had much to gain by cutting her out of the little group of researchers, says historian Pnina Abir-Am. In 1962 at the Nobel Prize awarding ceremony, Wilkins thanked 13 colleagues by name before he mentioned Franklin. Watson wrote his book laughing at her. Crick wrote in 1974 that “Franklin was only two steps away from the solution.〞No, Franklin was the solution. “She contributed more than any other player to solving the structure of DNA. She must be considered a co-discoverer,〞 Abir-Am says. This was backed up by Aaron Klug, who worked with Franklin and later won a Nobel Prize himself. Once described as the “Dark Lady of DNA〞, Franklin is finally coming into the light.9. What is the text mainly about?A. The disagreements among DNA researchers.B. The unfair treatment of Franklin.C. The process of discovering DNA.D. The race between two teams of scientists.10. Watson was angry with Franklin because she .A. took the lead in the competitionB. kept her results from himC. proved some of his findings wrongD. shared her data with other scientists11. The underlined phrase “backed up〞 in the last paragraph probably means .A. supportedB. arguedC. toleratedD. rejected12.Why is Franklin described as “Dark Lady of DNA〞?A. She developed pictures in dark labs.B. She discovered the black X-the shape of DNA.C. Her name was forgotten after her death.D. Her contribution was unknown to the public.DLast summer, two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana, to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco. The houses were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they hold Twitter engineers.The cottages could be an example of the industry’ s odd love affair with “low technology,〞 a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship (手艺) that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by hand in the late eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example, but Twitter’s designs lie on the extreme end. Other companies are using a broader explanation of low technology that focuses on nature.Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can “work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.〞 At Google’s office, an entire floor is carpeted in glass. Facebook’s second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking trail.Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over the years. “We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives, and our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的), because they’re surrounded by the digital world,〞 he says. “They’ re looking for a way to regain their individual identity, and we’ve found that introducing real crafts is one way to do that.〞This craft based theory is rooted in history, William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after the Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation, people became disconnected from life,〞 Morris said.Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe,〞 taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environment. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office—even simple views of trees and flowers—felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying.

高二英语上学期期末考试试题(10)word版本
嘉峪关市2016-2017学年第一学期期末考试高二英语试卷本试卷为第Ⅰ卷和第II卷两部分。
全卷满分120分,考试时间100分钟。
第I卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
AIs there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008 to 2012. Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.3.5℃This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put coastal cities under water and drive over half of all species to extinction.2℃To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissions targets every five years. Even this increase could sink some islands, worse drought(干旱) and drive a decline of up to a third in the number of species.1.5℃This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement,after a push by low-lying island nations like Kiribati, which say limiting temperature rise to 1.5℃ could save them from sinking.0.8℃This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began, putting us 40% of the way to the 2℃ point.0℃The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrial age.1. It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that _______.A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countriesC. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto ProtocolD. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming2. If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, whatwould happen by the year 2100?A. The human population would increase by one third.B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist.C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached.3. If those low-lying island nations are to survive, the maximum temperature riseshould be_______.A. 0.8℃B. 1.5℃C. 2℃D. 3.5℃BFred Michel is one of 7.2 million Americans who moonlight. Once a week, after his day job as medical director of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenagetreatment center.Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held second jobs, according to the US Labor Department, and that looks set to increase this year.Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausman, the writer of"Moonlighting: 148 Great Ways to Make Money on the Side."The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US moonlighters take a second job to meet household expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some special things.People also take second jobs with an eye to the future一wanting to try out a new field or gain experience.Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable. He wanted to make sure hewasn't tied to one system that ended up failing.Just as the purposes for moonlighting vary, the moonlighters cross all ages and racial groups.And they work in a variety of industries--- no longer just service, office and sale jobs."Technology just affects your ability to make money," Hausman says, "that makes a frequentchange in moonlighting."As its name means, moonlighting still occurs mostly at night. And that results in some pressures.Chief among them is time.Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some companies do not allow after-hour workbecause they fear it will affect their employees' 9-to-5 performance."The primary employer is saying, `Wait, I'm paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,"'says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. "If you'reburningyourself at both ends, it's going to show."Still, the good done to the moonlighters can be great. Besides extra income, moonlighters enjoy variety, freedom and chance to do something new. They may also find their part-time jobsstrengthen what they do full time.Besides, "it's fun," Michel says. Not only do his part-time jobs offer a chance to network, stretch his professional skills and make more money, but they also give him the variety he wouldn't find just in a full-time job."It's a way of pulling from the spice cabinet" he says, "and offering a little varietythroughout the day."4. The reason why Fred Michel began to moonlight is that_______.A. he found it exciting to do a part-time jobB .he needed to make ends meet with more moneyC .he feared he would lose his present job one dayD. he felt more and more pressure from his employer5 .Some companies don't allow their workers to moonlight because they are afraidA. their workers can not do extra-hour work for themB .their workers will be too tired to try their best at workC .their workers will one day turn to some other different jobsD. their workers will not get to work and be off work on time6. The underlined sentence "It's a way of pulling from the spice cabinet." in the last paragraph meansA. moonlighting gets you away from the job you don't enjoyB .moonlighting offers you freedom to make extra moneyC .moonlighting strengthens your professional skillsD. moonlighting brings you chances to do something different7.What is the article mainly about?A.The ways of moonlighting.B .The reasons for moonlighting.C .The problems with moonlighting.D. The kinds of people who moonlight.CThe 2016 Summer Games finally began in Brazil on August 5After years of planning and months of expectations. Over 10,000 athletes from 207 countries marched across Rio de Janeiro’s Maracana stadium, proud to represent their respective nations at the world’s most famous sporting event.The road to the Olympics, however, is not easy for any athlete. It has been particularly hard for Yusra Mardini, who is a member of the world’s first “Olympic Refugee (难民)Team.”The 19-year-old always dreamed of swimming for Syria at the Olympic Games. However, in August 2015, after losing her home in the conflict that has involved Syria since 2011, she and her sister decided to flee the country. The sisters along with a few other Syrian nationals made their way to Turkey via Lebanon. They then set sail on a small boat to their final destination — Greece.Unluckily, thirty minutes after leaving Turkey, the motor on the ship which was meant to hold six passengers but was instead carrying twenty, failed. Yusra, her sister Sarah, and the only two other strong swimmers aboard the boat had no choice but to dive into the ocean and use their superior swimming skills to push the boat and its passengers all the way to Lesbos, Greece – A journey that took three hours.While her dream of representing her country was ruined, Yusra did not give up her desire to compete in the Olympics. In March 2016, she was one of ten athletes selected and funded by the Olympic Committee to form the first-ever “Refugee Team.”International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach believes that Yusra and her teammates, who have also had to flee their countries, “Will show the world that despite the unimaginable tragedies they have faced, anyone can compete, anyone can contribute to society through their talent, skill, and strength of the humanspirit.”8.What do we know about Yusra’s fleeing journey to Greece?A. It was very hard.B. It took three hours.C. It was a failure.D. It was very smooth.9.What is the right order of the events related to Yusra?a.She became a member of the world’s first “Olympic Refugee Team”.b.She dreamed of swimming for Syria at the Olympic Games.c.She lost her home.d.She fled Syria to Greece with her sister Sarah and a few other SyriansA. b, a, c, dB. a, b, c, dC. a, d, c, bD. b, c, d, a10.Thomas Bach’s attitude to Yusra is _______.A. disapprovingB. tolerantC. supportiveD. resistant11.What is the best title for the text?A.A Hard Road to the Olympic GamesB.Yusra Mardini — Refugee Team SwimmerC.Yusra’s Strong Will to Compete in the OlympicsD.Athlete To Watch At The 2016 Rio Summer OlympicsDThe Chinese opposite of Valentine’s Day-- Singles' Dayhas turned into a massive online shopping event. It is a day when single people are supposed to buy themselves presents. But there are sociological reasons behind China's “celebration”of single life. And the imbalance could have big consequences for the country.There were 34 million more men than women in China in 2011. Part of that is natural – usually there are 105 boys born for every 100 girls. But the Chinese gender ratio (性别比例) at birth is much more obvious. It was 116 boys to 100 girls in 2012. The one child policy is largely to blame. Brought in to limit population expansion, the policy allows only one child per family. But because male children are seen as more valuable, as well as more likely to support their parents in old age, some parents choose to have a son over a daughter. The result is that largenumbers of men will likely never get married. In fact, one study has predicted that by 2030, 1 in 5 Chinese men in their 30s will never have married, while another states that 94% of unmarried people in China are men.Traditionally, China has seen high levels of marriage, usually among the young. Besides, the increased education and career opportunities for women have meant that marriages are happening later. It is also traditional that women often marry men of a higher socioeconomic status than themselves. So women at the top and men at the bottom find themselves alone. One study has even suggested a link between an imbalanced gender ratio and growth in violent crime in the country.Singles’ Day can’t solve all the problems China’s singles face. Indeed, it is possible that it is causing even more problems, as men resort to increasingly risky lines of work to increase their chances of gaining money and thus a wife.I am worried that as money starts to overcome romance, there is evidence that China ' s marriage market is increasingly materialistic.12. In 2012, if 50 girls were born, how many boys were probably born?A. 50.B. 52.C. 58.D. 60.13. What made women in China get married late?A. Their support of the government’s late marriage policy.B. Their higher education level and more work chances.C. That they expect to enjoy their single time when young.D. That there are too many excellent young men to choose from.14. What’s the writer’s attitude to the imbalance gender ratio in China?A. OptimisticB. ConcernedC. IndifferentD. Unknown15. We can learn from the passage that .A. Singles' Day is celebrated all over the world.B. by 2030, 1 in 5 Chinese women in their 30s will be out of marriage.C. an imbalanced gender ratio is related to the growth in violent crime.D. Singles' Day will solve all the problems China’s singles face.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下列短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

He patrolled(巡逻) the spring every day, and swept away all the leaves and other things that would dirty the fresh flow of water. Soon, beautiful swans(天鹅) came to the clear spring, and the village became a popular attraction for visitors.Years passed. One evening the town leaders held a meeting. As they looked at the salary list, one of them said, “Why do we keep this old man on year after year? I don’t think we need him or his work.” Later, the old man was asked to leave.For several weeks, nothing changed. By early autumn, the leaves began to fall off the trees, and the spring was covered with leaves. A few days later, the water was much darker. Only a few months after the old man left, all the swans left, as did the tourists. Disease reached deeply into the village.Quickly, the leaders held a special meeting. Realizing their mistake, they rehired the old man. Then within a few weeks, the spring began to clear up. Soon new life returned to the village.So, my friends, do you see? No matter how small your work or your life seems to be, never overlook it. Anything we can do will make a difference.60.

This passage is most likely to be found in_____.A. a travel guideB. a story bookC. a technical reportD. a geography magazineDHave you heard about the woman who put her wet dog in the microwave(微波炉) to dry it, and ended up cooking her dog by mistake? Or did you hear about the man who died at his desk at work, and nobody in the office he was dead for five days? These stories have two things in common. They both are not true, and they both are urban legends(传闻).Usually, legends are stories of events from long ago. Urban legends, on the other hand, are stories in the recent past, perhaps even last week! Urban legends are that there are many different versions(版本) of the same story, with local information changed to make the story seem more real. Today, the Internet has become a common way for urban legends to spread very quickly.A good example of an urban legend is the story of the girl who was killed by her jeans. In the 1980s, it was popular to wear very tight jeans. At that time, Levi’s sold special jeans that shrank() when you washed them. According to the story, a girl wanted to make her jeans as tight as possible, so she wore them in the water. Unluckily, they shrank so much that the girl died. In fact, this legend came from a Levi’s advertisement on TV ad, a man stepped into water and his tight jeans became the right size.However, some stories that sound like urban legends really come from real events. For example, there is a story about muggers(抢劫者) using snake in a person’s face and then take the person’s money. According to the legend, these muggers are very common, so you should keep an eye out for(密切注意) strangers carrying snakes.67. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. It tells readers some surprising stories.B. It tells readers what urban legends are.C. It tells readers how to make up urban legends.68.

The dog in the microwave.B. The dead man in the office.C. The girl killed by her jeans.D. The muggers using snakes.71. The writer probably agrees that ______.A. urban legends sometimes tells stories that may happen in our lifeB. urban legends are not worth listening toC. farmers are good at telling urban storiesD. none of urban legends tell stories that may happen in the city.EWhen you want to buy or rent a house, you are expecting not only the good quality of the house but also the neighbors who live near you. Almost everyone agrees that it is helpful to live with some good neighbors. However, the standard of good neighbors is different from people to people. In my opinion, a good neighbor should be someone whorespects your life, is ready to help others and concerned about the environment in the neighborhood.First of all, it is very important for your neighbor to respect your life. Just imagine, if you have a neighborcurious(好奇的) about you, especially your personal life, and tries to know more about it by whatever means, what will you feel? What is more, he or she may also talk with others about your life. Do you want to live with him or her anymore? The answer is definitely negative(否定). You will feel very uncomfortable to have such kind of people in your neighborhood and you may move as soon as possible.Next,what you should consider is that a good neighbor is always willing to give you a hand when you need him or her. For example, if you are not at home and someone suspect(可疑的) tries to unlock your door, your neighbor who sees it should call 911, and it will help you to protect your property(财产).Finally, a good neighbor should be concerned about the environment, especially around your neighborhood. He or she should throw all the rubbish into garbage and keep the place clean, because a good environment can make peoplewho live in it comfortable and relaxed all the time.72.
