( )56 What's language for? Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words --the longer the lists, the better. That's wrong.( )57 Language is for the exchange(交流)of ideas and information.It's meaningless knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can't speak correctly or fluently(流利地). They are afraid of making mistakes. ( )58 One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Saw once wrote, "Foreigners often speak English too correctly."( )59 But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They're English mistakes in the English language.And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right.( )60 But a people can only make its own language. It can't make another people's language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn't overdo(做过头)it. They should put communication(交际)first.A. Language is for the exchange(交流)of ideas and information.B. Chinese students still should pay attention to English grammars.C. Language is not for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of wordsD. Foreigners often speak English too correctly.E. Language rules sometimes can be changed to make it more palatable to(适应) thenative speakers.F. It is usual to make mistakes when you speak a language.（Ｂ）Mark Twain was asked one day if he could remember the first money he got. He thought for a long time before answering and then said, "Yes, it was at school.I can remember everything about it.Schoolboys in those days never respected teachers and never took care of the things on the school. They often damaged their desks. There was a rule in our school that anybody who damaged his desk with a pencil or knife would be beaten before the whole school or have to pay five dollars.""One day, I damaged my desk in some way.I had to tell my father I had brokenthe rule, and had to pay five dollars or be beaten before the whole school. My father said it would be too bad to have our face lost in front of the whole school. He agreed to give me five dollars to hand over to the teacher. But before giving me the money he took me upstairs and gave me a beating.""But as I had one beating and wasn't afraid of it any more, I decided I would take another beating at school and keep the five dollars. So that was what I did. That was the first money I ever got."Judge the following sentences true (T) or false (F)( )61. Schoolboys in those days never respected teachers but took care of the things on the school.( )62 Anybody who damaged his desk with a pencil or knife would be beaten before the whole school and have to pay five dollars."( )63 Mark Twain had ever damaged his desk one day.( )64 Mark Twain’s father didn’t want him to be beaten before the whole school.( )65 Mark Twain gave the five dollors to school at last.(C)Shanghai is a nice city. The weather here is mild, that is, it is neither too hot nor too cold. It changes from season to season. Now many tall buildings have been set up one after another. But at the same time, the city is full of people. As a result, the traffic is terrible. Traffic jams happen during the rush hours.

2014高考英语阅读理解基础训练极品题(1)

2014高考英语阅读理解根底训练极品题〔1〕与答案AA sign can be found in the front yard of a house in the US. The people living here want to let their dog play outside and ensure it won’t run into the street. So, they hire a company to set up an “invisible fence〞, an electric wire buried in the ground around the yard. The dog wears a special collar and when it walks near to the “fence〞, the wire will send out a small shock. The dog quickly learns to stay away from the edge of the yard. As it says at the bottom of the sign, the fence will keep your dog “safe〞(away from the street) and “at home〞 (contained inside the yard).The small word “BRAND〞printed in blue means that “Invisible Fence〞 is registered as the company’s brand name. Similarly, the “TM〞printed after “your dog safe at home〞stands for “trade mark〞, a slogan registered specifically to one company.1. The people set up an “invisible fence〞 _________.A. to let their dog play outside their houseB. to keep their dog away from the edge of the yardC. to keep their dog inside their yardD. to warn others not to enter their house2.

It combines basketball and soccer with the attracting saves of water polo.Handball is played on an indoor court ( the size of two basketball courts ) and there are goals at each end. There are twelve players on each team, two goal keepers and ten field players, but there is a maximum of one goalkeeper and six field players from each team allowed on the court at any one time. The_idea_is_simple:_score more goals than the other team.The ball is made of leather or a synthetic material and it must be round. The surface must not be shiny or slippery. The size and weight of the ball varies for male and female teams, and adult and junior team.Handball has the same freeranging play as basketball, with all players except the goalkeeper constantly moving from attack to defence. The goalkeeper uses hands, feet, head and body to keep out the other team's shots. The origins of handball are unclear. Many people believe that it developed as a training game for soccer, to be played in the off season, or when it was snowing. Now, in countries where handball is popular, players can earn large sums of money, and indoor stadiums seating over ten thousand people sell out regularly. Handball has been played at the Olympics since 1972.1．The passage states that handball was most probably developed ________.A．as a replacement for basketballB．by supporters of water poloC．as a training gameD．for the 1972 Olympics答案：C 细节理解题。

2014高考英语阅读理解基础极品训练题(1)

2014高考英语阅读理解根底极品训练题〔1〕与答案阅读理解-----------CLike fine food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. And good writers, like good cooks, do not suddenly appear full –blown. Quitethe opposite, just as the cook has to undergo a particular training, mastering the skillsof his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose---school work, matters of business, or purely social communication.You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more rewarding.There are still some faraway places in the world where you might find a public scribe〔文书〕 to do your business or social writing for you, for money. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves.We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to papers. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports put into mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figures must be extremely large. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes whatever he writes will be read, from first word to last, not just thrown into some “letters-to-be-read〞 files or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing.8. In this passage, good writing is compared to fine food because .A. both are enjoyableB. both are hard to learnC. both are necessary to lifeD. both take a long time to prepare9. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Writing skills are less important than experience.B. A good writer should have his own way of writing.C. A good writer should learn to write all kinds of articles.D. The more efforts one makes, the more money one can earn.10. The author thinks that the most important reason for us to practice writing skills is .A. to earn our livingB. to attract others to readC. to do daily reports easilyD. to become good secretaries11. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to .A. comment and blameB. introduce and describeC. explain and persuadeD. interest and inform【参考答案】(C)A B B C阅读理解Beldon and Canfield are two seashore towns, not far apart．Both towns have many hotels, and in summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other tourists．Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon．The next day, this news appeared on page two of the town’s newspaper．The Beldon Post:FIRE AT SEABREEZELate last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom．The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire．We sayagain to all our visitors：“Please don’t smoke cigarettes in bed．〞 This was Beldon’s first hotel fire for five years．The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one：ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRELast night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel．An angry holiday-maker said, “An electric lamp probably started the fire．The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels．When I put my bed side light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp．〞 We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield．What are the facts, then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident．There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel last August: that is one fact．Do we know anything else? Yes, we know that firemen went to the hotel．Now what do you think of the rest of the “news〞?1．Which of the following best gives the main idea of this text?A．Beldon and Canfield are both good places for tourists in summer．B．A fire broke out at night in Seabreeze Hotel last summer．C．It was not easy to find out exact truth from newspapers．D．Two newspapers gave reports on the same matter．2．Which of the following are probably facts?a．The fire broke out in a bedroom at the hotel．b．A cigarette started the fire．c．An old lamp started the fire．d．The fire broke out at night．e．There has never been a fire in Canfield．A．b and c B．a and d C．c and e D．a and c3．The Canfield Times used the headline like this in order to make its readers think _______ ．A．hotels in Beldon often catch fireB．hotels in Beldon don’t often catch fireC．this was the second fire at the Seabreeze HotelD．Beldon was a good place except that hotels there are not quite safe 4．The Canfield newspaper gave a report just the opposite to the Beldon Post by saying that _______．A．the bedroom lamps were very old at the Seabreeze HotelB．the bedroom lights made funny noise when the fire took placeC．the firemen failed to save clothing, bedclothes and other thingsD．such accidents never happened in Canfield for the past 5 years2 〔答案CBAC〕阅读理解One of the major problems in our economy is inflation, a situation in which prices are going up faster than wages. Thus, a person has to work more hours to pay for the same thing.For example, let’s say that this year a loaf of bread costs $1.00 and the average salary in the United States is $10.00 per hour. That means a person could earn enough money to buy a loaf of bread in one-tenth of an hour, or six minutes, Then, halfway through the year, The price of bread goes up to $1.25, while wages stay the same. That means that a person how has to work one-eighth of an hour, or seven and a half minutes to buy the same loaf of bread.Now let’s say that at the end of the year, wages go up to$11.00 per hour, but the price of bread goes up to $1.50. Now a person has to work more than one-seventhof an hour, over eight minutes to but the same loaf of bread. As you can see, if more and more work time is spent earning money to buy loaves of bread, employees will have less money left over to buy other things Inflation means that the same money buys fewer things and everybody’s standard of living goes down, even if salaries are going up.Some kinds of inflation are worse than others, Moderate inflation does not distort 〔扭曲〕relative prices or incomes seriously, Galloping inflation happens rapidly, say at a rate of 100 percent or more within a year. And then there is hyperinflation －inflation so serious that people try to get rid of their currency before prices rise further and make the money worthless. Times of hyperinflation are usually characterized by social and political disorder.1．The passage mainly wants to .A．list major economic problems B．discuss something about inflationC．explain why bread prices increase D．state the types of inflation2．Why is“a loaf of bread〞repeatedly mentioned?A．To express dissatisfaction with the price of bread.B．To show the effect of price changes.C．To compare bread with other food.D．To explain social and political disorder.3．What happens when prices go up but salaries remain the same?A．The government will do more about the economy.B．Workers might lose their jobs of they show dissatisfaction.C．People will save money rather than spend it.D．People must work longer to buy the same things.4．Which of the followings belongs to the type of moderate inflation?A．People try to get rid of their currency.B．Inflation occurs at rate of 100 percent in a yearC．Incomes and relative prices rise slightly.D．There is social and political disorder.参考答案1-4 B B D C阅读理解---------DI am a German by birth and descent. My name is Schmidt. But by education I am quite as much an Englishman as a 'Deutscher', and by affection much more the former. My life has been spent pretty equally between the two countries, and I flatter myself I speak both languages without any foreign accent.I count England my headquarters now: it is “home〞 to me. But a few years ago I was resident in Germany, only going over to London now and then on business. I will not mention the town where I lived. It is unnecessary to do so, and in the peculiar experience I am about to relate I think real names of people and places are just as well, or better avoided.I was connected with a large and important firm of engineers. I had been bred up to the profession, and was credited with a certain amount of “talent〞; and I was considered—and, with all modesty, I think I deserved the opinion—steady and reliable, so that I had already attained a fair position in the house, and was looked upon as a “rising man〞. But I was still young, and not quite so wise as I thought myself. I came close once to making a great mess of a certain affair. It is this story which I am going to tell.Our house went in largely for patents—rather too largely, some thought. But the head partner's son was a bit of a genius in his way, and his father was growing old, and let Herr Wilhelm - Moritz we will call the family name—do pretty much as he chose.And on the whole Herr Wilhelm did well. He was cautious, and he had the benefit of the still greater caution and larger experience of Herr Gerhardt, the second partner in the firm.Patents and the laws which regulate them are strange things to have to do with. No one who has not had personal experience of the complications that arise could believe how far these spread and how involved they become. Great acuteness as well as caution is called for if you would guide your patent bark safely to port—and perhaps more than anything, a power of holding your tongue. I was no chatterbox, nor, when on a mission of importance, did I go about looking as if I were bursting with secrets, which is, in my opinion, almost as dangerous as revealing them. No one, to meet me on the journeys which it often fell to my lot to undertake, would have guessed that I had anything on my mind but an easy-going young fellow's natural interest in his surroundings, though many a time I have stayed awake through a whole night of railway travel if at all doubtful about my fellow-passengers, or not dared to go to sleep in a hotel without a ready-loaded gun by my pillow. For now and then - though not through me - our secrets did ooze out. And if, as has happened, they were secrets connected with Government orders or contracts, there was, or but for the exertion of the greatest energy and tact on the part of my superiors, there would have been, to put it plainly, the devil to pay.12. The writer preferred to be called ________.A. a GermanB. an EnglishmanC. both a German and an EnglishmanD. neither a German nor an Englishman13. Which of the following words cannot be used to describe the writer?A. TalentedB. ModestC. ReliableD. Wise14. The head of the company where the writer works is ________.A. SchmidtB. MoritzC. Wilhelm’s fatherD. Gerhardt15. The writer often stayed awake on the train or kept a ready-loaded gun in the hotel,because ________.A. some people sometimes let out the secrets of his companyB. the writer occasionally didn’t keep the secrets of his companyC. patents and the laws are strange things to have to do withD. the secrets were connected with Government orders or contracts【参考答案】 (D) BDCA阅读理解Nowadays, people in China are increasingly interested in celebrating foreign festivals, especially those western festivals.A survey conducted recently by sina. com. showed that among the 18,222 people surveyed 63.90% said celebrating Christmas is just another way of recreation, nothing serious while 17.85% surveyed considered the festival as a fashion act, showing they were not “out〞. These two parts clearly indicate the general opinion of the young. 10.45% people involved said the celebration of a religious western festival with so much enthusiasm is absolutely ridiculous pursuit of foreign goodness. Only 7.80% of people define Christmas as a kind of festival colonization(殖民).The arising of celebrating foreign festivals clearly has something to do with the advancement of China’s economy. In my point view, Christmas an d other festivals celebrated in China have difference from the origin. They have lost their religious background and turned into a big occasion to have fun and enjoy life. Shop owners’ pockets are filled, the public’s hunger for happiness is filled, and th at is enough. Foreign festivals in China are more like carnivals giving people pleasure and enjoyment.The crisis of traditional Chinese festivals that are losing their attraction may be linked to the culture tradition and background of the festivals. Most Chinese festival culture is related more or less to real life. “The country is based on its people while the people are relied on their food〞.But the western culture shows much of romance. Some festivals have their religious background while others have much to do with culture and people. At this point, food seems to be too plain. Flowers and chocolates are more welcomed.Foreign festivals in China are celebrated for fun. They give people opportunities to relax and celebrate, to show appreciation and gratefulness. The acceptance of foreign festivals generally depends on the openness of the public, the familiarity with the western culture, and most importantly, on people’s economic status. 1．From the survey we know that among the people surveyed ______.A．most think celebrating foreign festivals is ridiculousB．many fear that traditional Chinese festivals will disappear soonC．some think that celebrating foreign festivals is a sign of foreign goodness chasingD．half think celebrating foreign festivals makes people not go out of fashion 2．The writer thinks that foreign festivals celebrated in China ______.A．have lost their religious backgroundB．are the same as those celebrated in the WestC．can give more fun than traditional Chinese festivalsD．may reduce the hunger of public people3．What is the main difference between foreign festivals and traditional Chinese ones?A．Foreign festivals can make Chinese shop owners’ pockets full quickly.B．The food at foreign festivals is too simple.C．Chinese festivals always have something to do with culture.D．Foreign festivals are romantic while traditional Chinese ones are connectedwith reality.4．Which of the following may NOT be the reason why so many people accept foreign festivals?A．People can relax themselves.B．People can show their thanks to others.C．Foreign festivals have longer histories than Chinese ones.D．People have known more about the western culture.参考答案 C A D C。

【广东省韶关市2013模拟】AIt’s just a small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree. No name，no address. It has peeked through the branches of our tree for the past 10 years. It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas. He didn't hate the true meaning of Christmas，but the commercial aspects of it; overspending, running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and powder for Gran dma…Knowing he felt this way, I decided one year to bypass the usual shirts，sweaters, ties and so forth. I reached for something special for Mike. The inspiration came in an unusual way. Our son Kevin, at 12 that year, was wrestling at the junior level at the school he attended and before Christmas，there was a non-league match against a team sponsored by an inner—city church, mostly black。

高中英语真题-2014高考英语阅读理解全程提升训练(1)及答案

高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解全程提升训练（1）及答案【2014界河北省衡水中学二模】B“Now I just don’t believe that.” Surely all of us, at some point, ha ve watched a movie and thought: It’s simply badly researched, or, the makers must think we’re fools.If movies were completely scientifically accurate, they’d probabl y be as interesting as a Physics 101 lecture. In real life, there ar e no explosions in space, gas usually doesn’t explode from a lit cigarette, and Bruce Willis / Jackie Chan / Will Smith would mos t likely be in a coma(昏迷) after getting kicked in the head. Recently, the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph ran a hum orous piece on unconvincing tech moments from some top mov ies. Let’s see what they are all about.Telegraph writer Tom Chivers’ first example is from the end-of-the-world movie Independence Day, in which a character comes up with a virus capable of destroying Windows, the computer syst em the alien(外星人的) spacecraft uses. “It’s a good thing they didn’t have Norton antivirus,” jokes Chivers.It’s just one case of a movie that takes a lot of license with its sc ience. Another one Chivers mentions is from Star Wars, where glowing beams of light traveling through space look very impres sive. The problem is that in space there are no air particles(颗粒) for the light to reflect off. In reality, they’d not be seen, which wouldn’t look so cool on the big screen.Chivers’ second piece of Star Wars nonsense is the sound the f ighters make in the movies: “ the bellow(咆哮) of an elephant mixed with a car driving on a wet road”. But s ound needs a medium to travel through, like air. In space, there wouldn’t actually be any sound at all.Few people would deny that the mind-bending Matrix films make for great viewing, but for Chivers, the science in the movies is a little silly.And finally: as Chivers points out, DAN is not replaceable. But t his bit of elementary genetics passed the makers of the 2002 B ond film Die another Day by. In the film the villain(坏人) has “gene therapy” to change his appearance and his DNA, which is completely impossible.60. What does the text mainly deal with?A. Plots of some famous movies.B. Characters in space movies.C. Popularity of space movies.D. Mistakes made in some movies.61. From the first two paragraphs we can know that some movie makers ____.A. went against general knowledge of scienceB. didn’t pay attention to the viewers’ real demandC. overestimated viewers’ appreciation of movies.D. didn’t try their best to improve the quality of the movies.62. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer t o?A. The newspapers.B. Unconvincing tech moments.C. Some top movies.D. Heroes in the movies.63. We can learn from Paragraph 7 that ____.A. most people like Matrix filmsB. the truth of Matrix films remains in doubtC. few people think Matrix films sillyD. Chivers thinks scie nce is unacceptable【参考答案】60—63、DABA科普常识类(2013·浙江，B)Below is a selection from a popular science book.If blood is red，why are veins(静脉) blue?Actually，veins are not blue at all.They are more of a clear，yellowish colour.Although blood looks red when it's outside the body，when it's sitting in a vein near the surface of the skin，it's more of a dark reddish purple colour.At the right depth，these bloodfilled veins reflect less red light than the surrounding skin，making them look blue by comparison.Which works harder，your heart or your brain?That kind of depends on whether you're busy thinking or busy e xercising.Your heart works up to three times harder during exer cise，and shifts enough blood over a lifetime to fill a supertanker.But ，in the long run，your brain probably tips it，because even when you're sitting still your brain is using twice a s much energy as your heart，and it takes four to five times as much blood to feed it.Why do teeth fall out，and why don't they grow back in grownups?Baby (or “milk”) teeth do not last long；they fall out to make room for bigger，stronger adult teeth later on.Adult teeth fall out when they beco me damaged，decayed and infected by bacteria.Once this second set of teeth has grown in，you're done.When they're gone，they're gone.This is because nature figures you're set for life，and what controls regrowth of your teeth switches off.Do old people shrink as they age?Yes and no.Many people do get shorter as they age.But，when they do，it isn't because they're shrinking all over.They simply lose heigh t as their spine(脊柱) becomes shorter and more curved due to disuse and the eff ects of gravity(重力)．Many (but not all) men and women do lose height as they get older.Men lose an average of 34 cm in height as they age，while women may lose 5 cm or more.If you live to be 200 years old，would you keep shrinking till you were，like 60 cm tall，like a little boy again？No，because old people don't really shrink！It is not that they are growing backwards—their legs，arms and backbones getting shorter.When they do get shorter，it's because the spine has shortened a little.Or，more often，become more bent and curved.Why does spinning make you dizzy(眩晕的)?Because your brain gets confused between what you're seeing and what you're feeling.The brain senses that you're spinning u sing special gravityandmotionsensing organs in your inner ear ，which work together with your eyes to keep your vision and bal ance stable.But，when you suddenly stop spinning the system goes out of contro l，and your brain thinks you're moving while you're not!Where do feelings and emotions come from?Mostly from an ancient part of the brain called the limbic system .All mammals have this brain area—from mice to dogs，cats，and humans.So all mammals feel basic emotions like fear，pain and pleasure.But since human feelings also involve other ，newer bits of the brain，we feel more complex emotions than any other animal on the pl anet.If exercise wears you out，how can it be good for you? Because our bodies adapt to everything we do to them.And as f ar as your body is concerned，it's “use it，or lose it”！It's not that exercise makes you healthy；it's more that a lack of exercise leaves your body weak and easi ly affected by disease.1．What is the colour of blood in a vein near the surface of the skin?A．Blue. B．Light yellow.C．Red. D．Dark reddish purple.解析细节理解题。

2014高考英语阅读理解精品训练题(1)及答案(解析)

2014高考英语阅读理解精品训练题（1)及答案（解析）Today’s children are the “result" of the modern society. Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They only have a free day in a week. This doesn't allow them to keep an eye on their children。

On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could “handle”. As a child，you don’t know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age。

That is why you need school and parents to be by your side all the time。

If you do n’t have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes。

The social system of the modern society is very lenient especially with the children.Most of the children today are rebels (判逆者). They are rude。

They are given too much freedom by their families. Thi s is their parent’s mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood.For example it is a bad thing for a 17 – year – old child to go out in the evening on weekends. Parents are also guilty of the way their children show up in the street or at school。

On a hot muggy（闷热的） August afternoon, I had every reason to feel sorry for myself -- my flight home was full and late.I got even impatient waiting in the noisy crowd. And then I noticeda 5-year-old boy standing by his mother and watching me. He looked at me, then my bag, then back at me.56 , he left his mother's side and slowly began to walk toward me, glancing between my bag, his mother, and me."Great," I thought, "now I have to baby-sit a 5-year-old. My day is now complete."As he came closer, I was alarmed that it wasn't me he was after. It was my hat!I started to tell him not to bother my things, but something made me stop and watch. He stopped in front of my bag, looking at my hat, then up at me.With wide eyes, he gently ran his index finger along the edge, carefully touching the emblem(徽章).Again, he looked up at me, now smiling, but saying nothing. I asked him i f he would like to wear my captain hat.He excitedly nodded his head, still smiling. I placed my hat on his head, but it fell down around his ears. He didn't seem to mind and held it up in the proper position with both hands. He ran to show his mother, then back to me still smiling from ear to ear.With much reverence(敬畏) and ceremony, he slowly removed my hat with both hands and presented it to me as though it were the crown jewels.I put my hat on and gave him an airplane card. This, too, he held with both hands in awe.After this exchange, he still hadn't spoken, although I knew he was excited. I also was happy that I had been briefly distracted from my self-pity.Still holding the card carefully with both hands, he looked up at me and said, "Mister, you sure are lucky.""Yes," I said, "I sure am."That day, I got the last seat on that flight home.56. Which word can be placed at the beginning of the third paragraph?A. ExcitedlyB. CautiouslyC. DisappointedlyD. Sadly57.

By “My day is now complete”, the author actually means .A. it is common to meet a boy at an airport.B. it is fun to be with a boy.C. he knows that a boy usually brings along good luck.D. he wouldn’t like to be bothered at all.59. The author admitted that he sure was lucky, because .A. the boy returned his hat to him.B. the boy liked his hat very muchC. the boy gave his seat to him.D. the boy changed his mood for the better.【参考答案】A篇 BCDD阅读理解Every year in America, high-school students who want to go on to college take a national examination called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT in a shortened way. Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them or whether any will be admitted at all. The Scholastic Aptitude Test muasures one’s mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English portion involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension.But the SAT folks have added a single question , to be answered in an essay, hand-written on the spot. That’s an interesting way to test writing ability, but content aside, have you ever seen young people’s handwriting lately? Or anyone’s for that matter, in this age of computer keyboards? Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks. They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word. And they hand-write, or more often print, a word or two of identification on luggage and lunch bags. Otherwise, penmanship(书法)-once taught so morally and carefully by second-grade teachers, has gone the way of the dodo bird which has died out.Yet today’s kids are asked to write, thoughtfully and legibly, for several minutes on this SAT Test. Good luck to the test scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl of young people who’ve been typing on computers since the age of three!

And don’t forget,we all have to resort to handwriting from rime to time, as computers go down when the power goes out.1. The subjects to be tested in the SAT include .A. math,English,reading and handwritingB. math, grammar,reading and writingC. math,foreign language and writingD. math,English and handwriting答案解析：答案为B。

AWhen I was younger, bedtime was always my favourite part of the day. Wearing soft pajamas and with Ian, my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all.I named Ian after my uncle when I compared Ian’s long arms and legs to his. One night I ran up to Uncle Ian at a family party and told him I had named my monkey after him. His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, then a chuckle(哈哈笑)escaped his lips. I guess he didn’t understand how important it was to me.Even if Uncle Ian didn’t think my monkey was special, I certainly did. I dressed him in a white baby nightgown. My mother thought that Ian was the best-dressed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne(科隆香水)I used on him years ago makes him still smell “pretty”.For a long time, Ian went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, and I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bears and dolls. I begged him to understand why I was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk to him again.It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Ian.I know now that maturity(成熟)doesn’t only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes.Ian has been with me since I was six years old holding him in my arms connects me to my past and my present as I continue to grow and understand myself.1. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?A.Bedtime used to be the writer’s favourite part of the day becauseB. Uncle Ian liked the stuffed monkey as much as the writer.C. The writer used to carry the monkey with her wherever she went.D. Years later the writer realized that it was not wrong to miss Monkey of the stuffed monkey.Ian.答案解析：答案为B。
