Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his first day of f in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” he’d told his wife, “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go to visit your grandma.”Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”—Adam, Bob, and Christopher —came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Adam began using his spoon on Christopher’s head as if it were a drum. Christopher started to shout loudly in time to高一英语试题 第1页（共10页） 高一英语试题 第2页（共10页）the beat (节拍). Bob ch anted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Peter realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.Life became worse after breakfast. Adam wore Bob’s underwear on his head. Bob locked himself in the bathroom, while Christopher shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Peter knew the talk show had already started.By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Christopher was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Adam was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his color pencils. Bob, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Peter realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.At exactly 11:17, Peter called the daycare centre (日托所).“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Peter was smiling.24.

People are being tricked into Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information.Most Facebook users don’t realiz e this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook becausepeople don’t really know what their personal data is worth.The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook— You could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things—your city, your photo, your friends’ names— were set, by default (默认),to be shared with everyone on the Internet.According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “less satisfying experience”.Some critics(批评家) think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money.In original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them in the side of the pages totally, who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting w ith their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April，Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He alsourged(催促) the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social networking sites.“I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade ou r privacy, it’s only thebeginning，which is why I’m considering cancelling（取消）my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too high a price to pay.28.

In fact, not only are they dirty, but they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.People in California love to talk about “zero -emissions (排放) vehicles”, but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants(工厂) mostly use fire to make it. Apart from the few people who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators (发电机). Generators are fueled by something —usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal (地热) plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.In other words, those “zero -emissions” cars are likely coal -burning cars. Because the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not true. It's as if the California Greens are covering their eyes —“If I can't see it, it's not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly (极其) efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat--at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.A gallon of gas may drive your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far —so electric cars burn more fuel thangasoline-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from wind or geothermal, or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don't use much of those energy sources.In addition, electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill (垃圾填埋场). And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.32. Which of the following w ords can replace “be clueless about” in Paragraph 2? A. be familiar with. B. be curious about.C. fail to understand.D. show their interest in.33. The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run _________. A. at least 25 miles B. more than 25 miles C. less than 25 miles D. as far as 25 miles34. In the author’s opinion, compared with cars using gas, electric cars are more __________. A expensive. B. harmfulC. efficientD. environmentally-friendly 35. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A. electric cars’ batteries are no longer poisonous in the landfillB. now electric cars are used more than their gasoline-powered cousinsC. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environmentD. electric cars are not clean since we get electricity mainly by burning something 第二节 阅读填句（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。
