The United Kingdom李仕才一、阅读理解阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go —to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.1. What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A. Its business culture.B. Its small population.C. Its geographical position.D. Its favourable climate.2. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.B. One out of five people got rich.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. Half of them died.3. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A. They found the city too crowded.B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C. They were unable to stand the winter.D. They were short of food.4. What is the text mainly about?A. The rise and fall of a city.B. The gold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. Tourism in Dawson.【话题解读】这是一篇说明文。

The United Kingdom李仕才一、阅读理解。
Persuasion is to convince someone to agree with you, just like art which also calls for special techniques to accomplish. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion: ethos, pathos and logos.Ethos is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience that he is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education he has in the field. After all, you’re more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman.Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience's emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them want to vote for him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats to make the viewers feel pity, so they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simpl y saying “believe me”.Although ethos, pathos and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.1.What is the purpose of persuasion?A. To advise somebody to support you.B. To help someone have special skillC. To convince somebody to realize his aim.D. To talk someone into being honest.2.What is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience to trust him?A. Pathos.B. Ethos.C. Logos.D. Education.3.What do a politician and an animal charity have in common?A. Both prevent themselves from being hurt.B. Both save people from terrible wars.C. Both make the audience support them.D. Both persuade people to donate money.4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Convince the AudienceB. Three Basic Tools of PersuasionC. Believe MeD. Strength of Persuasion【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了源自于古希腊且一直沿用至今的说服他人的艺术，其中包括ethos、pathos、logos三种方式和用这三种方式说服他人在各个领域应用的可能性。

The children were surveyed between 2003 and 2007.The researchers defined adequate physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outside of gym class at least five days a week. Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV，playing computer games, or chatting with friends—aside from time in school or time spent doing homework—were classified as sedentary.The researchers found only one quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions. A quarter of boys and nearly 30 percent of girls were sedentary and didn't get enough exercise with girls less active than boys in every country aside from Zambia.Uruguay had the highest percentage of active boys, at 42 percent, while Zambia had the lowest, at 8 percent. Girls from India were the most active, with 37 percent meeting exercise recommendation, while girls from Egypt were the least active, with just 4 percent getting adequate exercise. Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary, with 13 percent of boys and 8 percent of girls classified as sedentary. The most sedentary nations were St. Lucia and the Cayman Islands, with 58 percent of boys and 64 percent of girls spending at least three hours a day in sedentary activities.People show deep concern for kids' lack of physical activity in various nations. Why do they have a low level of physical activity? Guthold speculated(推测)that urbanization(都市化) could be a factor as well as access to cars and TVs.11．If you are sedentary, you________．A．are a diligent student spending much time doing homeworkB．have at least an hour of exercise outdoors every dayC．like watching TV and playing computer gamesD．spend a lot of time sitting down and not moving12．Which statement is TRUE about the finding of the study, led by Regina Guthold?A．Most children around the world don't meet the exercise recommendation.B．Girls in every country are no more active than boys.C．Children in rich countries relatively get less physical activities.D．Only 4 percent of the girls from Egypt are not active in exercise.13．Which could be the best title of the passage?A．American children are addicted to TVs and computersB．Nearly one third of children globally are couch potatoesC．Effects of physical activities on healthD．Unimaginable standard of physical health14．What would the writer be most likely to discuss in detail in the following paragraphs?A．The suitable amount of physical activities for students.B．Some of the factors for the popularity of cars and TVs among the kids.C．The reasons behind the lack of physical activities.D．The ways to make the most of physical activities.BOur lives were supposed to be more flexible and familyfriendly thanks to the technology at our fingertips. But in this age of BlackBerrys, recession pressures, working at home after hours and on weekends, family time may not be working out the way we thought.Busy parents who expected more time with the kids are finding that more work hours at home don't necessarily translate into quality time with them.A new generation of parents need to discover the meaning of “quality time”，researchers say. “Personally, just given the life I l ead, I think there is something to this idea of quality time—spending productive time with children vs. just being around，” says Peter Brandon, a professor at Carleton College. He says engaging or interacting with a child in activities such as reading or playing counts as quality time rather than “passive monitoring”， such as washing the dishes while the child is watching TV.“This_time_with_children_pays_off，” Brandon says. He notes that good parentchild relationships result in children being happier and more successful, including at school.As parents struggle to be more available to their kids, new research on work and family schedules to be presented Friday at the meeting in Dallas includes a study that shows parents' availability is on the decline because more parents are in the workforce. Although parents today may be spending more time on child care, they are less available overall.Working parents who spend less time with their children should try to make sure the time they do spend is communicating with them, vs. doing the dishes or spending more time on themselves, Brandon says “The tradeoff is not necessarily taking away time from your kid，” he says, “You're taking away time from other things.”15．The first paragraph mainly intends to tell us that ________．A．technology lets parents work at homeB．parents are satisfied with their workC．technology makes our lives much easierD．the family time is not always satisfying16．We can learn from the third paragraph that ________．A．some families are not experiencing quality timeB．it's enough for parents to stay with their childrenC．parents enjoy eng aging in workathome activitiesD．working hours at home can transform into quality time17．According to Brandon, the quality time means ________．A．just being around with childrenB．work time is separate from family timeC．spending interactive time with childrenD．letting the children do whatever they want to do18．The underlined sentence “This time with children pays off”means________．A．the time with children is of little valueB．the time with children costs quite a lotC．the time with children leads to good resultD．the time with children has a bad effect on themⅢ.完成句子19．As my secretary, your duty ____________ filing the papers and answering the calls.

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校Unit 2 The United KingdomⅠ.阅读理解ABring any group of business owners or managers together，ask them the best way to promote their organizations，and you'll get different answers.That comes as no surprise.When it comes to promoting a business，trying to find the single choice is rarely wise.You'll see business owners and managers try radio advertising.When that doesn't produce the results they want，they'll change to sending direct mail.When that doesn't create a jump in sales，they'll buy TV commercials.When that falls short of their expectations，they'll try a new online strategy...and it goes on and on.For most companies，the best approach is a mix of different channels，organized in ways that allow each to build upon the others.The channel that will work best in a given situation depends on a lot of factors，including the company itself，its audience，the message being conveyed，the environment，and many more.Just that radio worked well for a company's last effort doesn't mean that TV advertising wouldn't be a better choice this time.Or maybe the right channel is direct mail.There's no simple answer，because there are so many variables. If your audience is broad，then maybe radio or newspaper advertising is the right choice.If you're targeting a carefully defined group, such as former customers，direct mail or email will probably perform better.There are two important lessons here.The first is not to concentrate on trying to find a single channel that will s erve all of the company's needs，because it just doesn't exist.The second lesson is that before you spend the first dollar to promote your business，you need to do more than a little learning.You'll really need to understand your customers，your marketplace，your competitors，and the environments in which you do business.And you need a good understanding of what makes one marketing channel right for one situation，but not another.[语篇解读] 本文为一篇说明文。

But I also knew that it was difficult to find a position considering my inexperience. That was when I decided to pursue an internship (实习工作)．So I chose to talk to my advisor first. He had worked in the field of public relations for many years before he became a professor and therefore had numerous contacts and associates in the field. After talking to him about a few of the positions, I decided to pursue the Cincinnati Fine Arts Fund because of my interest in the arts and the passion I would feel working for a nonprofit organization. I sent out a cover letter and a resume and was hired on the spot in the interview.I soon began my position. After class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I would drive to work and apply all the skills I was learning in the classroom. I was amazed at the amount of practical knowledge in class that was directly applicable to my internship position. It became a very useful and beneficial experience. Not only was I working for arts organizations and seeing my name printed on documents I had created, but also gaining confidence in my skills and myself.As the semester came to a close，I finished my work with the Fine Arts Fund. Although I didn't take away any money for the internship，I gained many different kinds of experience and the knowledge that I was capable of accomplishing professional tasks. And that kind of confidence was invaluable to me as I sat down to interview for my next internship.【文章大意】作者上大三时就开始考虑自己的未来，考虑到实习经验在就业中的重要性，作者在导师的建议下找到了个实习岗位，尽管没有挣到钱，但是所积累的经验让作者感觉到很值得。

And when you find out the total expenses at the end of the month, you will realize what you have spent more money in doing. 2.Open a savings account.Opening a savings account is a better way to save money.You can setagoal；say(for example), the money is for a new notebook or for college, and then save，until you have enough money to buy a notebook or until you go to college. 3.Do not carry much cash.Do you have the habit of not leaving a store without buying anything? The only way to stop that is carrying less money around with you. Go to the store with the minimum amount of money，which will not even help you buy a drink. 4.Save the changes.Save the changes that you get back. If you have gone to a shop to buy something and get back some changes, then do not spend them. 5.And you'll be surprised at the huge amount of money after days.Follow these tips above, and thus you can save a lot of money.
