College students, in their own eyes and in the eyes of the public, are expected to get at least a proper job, if not working in a high-income or white-collar position.Cai Yong’s decision to work as a shoe shiner shocked not only his parents, who had high hopes for him, but also his girlfriend.“It is right for young graduates to be ambitious (有抱负的). But they have to start in a solid and down-to-earth way,〞 Cai said. Cai is not alone in making such a choice. The company has got 12 college students in all.“I come for the 800 yuan monthly pay,〞 said Xiao Ji, who is a student from Nanjing University. “I have grown up and no longer live on my parents,〞 he said.“Working as shoe shiners can mean a bright future,〞 Cai said.Not everyone can accept this job choice. Cai’s girlfriend left him because she felt ashamed to be with a shoe shiner, and Cai accepted the fact. “This is the price to be paid for a job,〞 he said.A former shoe shiner, Zhong Haibo, from a medical college, believes it was a good training for the rest of his life. “There is nothing I can’t do after working as a shoe shiner,〞 Zhong said, meaning that such kind of experience in early life is helpful in a future job.56.

These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it's not easy to change later in life. Financial experts say that every one also has their own belief of how to manage their money. According to ourdifferent values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail.The ant — works firstJust like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don't care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks(股票) with low risk.The cricket〔蟋蟀〕— fun firstThe cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance(保险).The snail 〔蜗牛〕— lives under pressureThe snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans(贷款) from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.64. One’s values may__________.A. be his ways of managing moneyB. be his beliefs about societyC. determine his family and educationD. influence his behavior65. Mr. Smith always enjoys spending a weekend with his friends, fishing, hunting and playing cards. Moreover, he spends money in a very luxurious way. So, _____.A. Mr. Smith belongs to the ant typeB.

"That translates into greater mental effort, making it easier to get a headache," he said.Dr Deborah Friedman, a professor of ophthalmology and neurology（神经学）at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York, said: "If your eyes are a little off to begin with then it's really throwing a whole degree of effort that your brain now needs to exert. This disparity for some people will give them a headache."Experts say there are no studies tracking how common it is to get a headache after watching a 3D film.Rick Heineman, a spokesman for RealD, which provides 3D equipment to cinemas, said headaches and nausea were the main reasons 3D technology never took off before.But he said new digital technology addresses many of the problems that had previously caused sore heads.56、What can we learn from what Dr Michael Rosenberg said ?A. A lot of people prefer walking around with very minor eye problems to sitting silently watching 3D films.B. The brain can deal with very minor eye problems under normal circumstances naturally.C. A lot of people haven’t got very minor eye problems when viewing films under normal circumstances.D. People come into very minor eye problems and a minor muscle imbalance when watching 3D films.57、What does the underlined word “prolonged” in the 3rd pa ragraph mean ?A. continuousB. constantC. regularD. long-time58、According to the passage , which of the following is TRUE ?A. It has taken over $1 billion to make the popularity of three-dimensional movies and new 3D television sets.B. Watching a 3D movie leaves viewers confronted with an entirely new sensory experience.C. There are studies tracking how common it is to get a headache after watching a 3D film.D. Rick Heineman said that 3D technology would never take off headaches and nausea in future.59、What’s the main idea of the passage ?A. The expert warns the readers not to watch 3D films because of resulting in an aching head.B. New digital technology gives viewers headaches and eye problems.C. The experts are studying how to get rid of many of the problems that have previously caused sore heads.D.

高一英语短文阅读天天练8

高一名校短文阅读天天练（八）AThe hand, the eyes and the brain work together to make human beings different from other animals. No other animals have all three parts to work together. No animals can do what human beings can do. Humans can do many things and feel many things with the hand. The hand can hold onto things and make things because the thumb works with the fingers. This fifth finger is strong. Most animals don’t have thumbs. The thumb can press against the other fingers. Without a thumb to press against the fingers, it is difficult to hold onto anything. The thumb and fingers can also fit the flat surface of a box and the curved (不平的) surface of a pencil. We can feel that something is hot or cold, soft or hard, smooth or rough. The hand, with thumb and fingers, is one of the best tools we have. Most animals see a flat picture. Their eyes can only see how high and how wide something is. Some animals see a different picture with each eye. Some don’t see in colour. Humans see one picture with both eyes working together. We can see how high and how wide something is. We can also see how far in front of or in back of something a thing is. The brain tells other parts of the body how to work. Some of the things the body does are automatic;that is, we don’t have to think about them. For example, we don’t have to think to make our heart eat or our stomach work. The brain tells the eyes and hands how to make useful and beautiful things. That is how human beings become tool makers and artists. That is how human can have richer and better lives than other animals.36. Human beings are different from other animals because ___________.A. human beings have the hands, the eyes, and the brain working all the timeB. other animals also have hands, the eyes, and the brainC. human beings work together with other animalsD. the hands, the eyes, and the brain of the human can work together37. According to the passage, when you say you hold onto something, you mean___________.A. you have it in your hand and keep it there by putting your fingersfirmly round itB. you have it in your arms and keep it there by putting your fingersfirmly round itC. you feel it with your handsD. you press the fingers of your right hand against those of your left hand38. The author tells us that no animals can do what humans can do. Hegives quite a few facts to support the idea. One of them is that ___________.A. most animals don’t see in colourB. the humans see a thing with both eyes working togetherC. only humans can see and how high and how wide a thing isD. some animals can see only one picture39. ___________ is automatic.A. BreathingB. Driving a carC. Making a chairD.Playing footballBThe old shoes had brought him so much trouble that Johnnydecided to throw them away. He went to the rubbish pit (垃圾坑)outside the city and threw the old shoes into the pit. "Now they can bring me no more trouble," he said. He returned home, lay down in his bed and slept. But he had a dog, and the dog was used to going to the rubbish pit to look for food, because Johnny never bought food for his dog. The dog, who loved its master (主人) even though it was not given food, saw the shoes in the pit and knew they were its master's. So the dog took one of the heavy shoes in its mouth and went slowly back with it, and left it at its master's bedside. Then the dog fetched the other shoe in the same way. When Johnny woke up, he saw the shoes by his bed and he was afraid. "There, shoes can walk by themselves, they must be done away with." he thought. Then he made a large fire in front of his house and put the shoes on it. Just then a strong wind was blowing and before long the fire made the house begin burning. His neighbours immediately came but could do nothing. The house burnt down but the old shoes were saved by the dog again.40.

Local newspapers have a weekly circulation of 13 million. Almost every town and county area has one. Nearly all them hold their own financially (财政)and many of them are very profitable (赚钱的).These papers are written almost entirely for readers interested in local events-births, weddings, deaths, council (地方会议) meetings and sports. Editors prefer to rely on people who know the district well. A great deal of local news is regularly supplied by clubs and churches in the neighborhood and it does not get out to date as quickly as national news.The editors must never forget that the success of any newspaper depends on advertising (广告). He is usually anxious to keep the good will of local businessmen for this reason.

It is the address of the White House, the home of the president of the United States.Originally the White House was gray and was called the presidential Palace. It was built from 1792 to 1800. At this time, the city of Washington itself was being built. It was to be the nation’s new capital city. George Washington, the first president, and Pierre Charles L'Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L'Enfant then planned the city. The president's home was an important part of the plan.A contest was held to pick a design for the president's home. An architect named James Hoban won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone. President Washington never lived in the Presidential Palace. The first president to live there was John Adams, the second president of the United States, and his wife Mrs.Adams did not really like her new house. In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm.In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. They burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace. After the war James Hoban, the original architect, partially rebuilt the president’s home. To cover the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House.The White House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. Every year more than 1.5 million visitors go through the five rooms that are open to the public.16. The White House was built in Washington_____.A. because a French engineer was invited to design itB. because President George Washington liked to live in itC. because the British invaders lived in it in1812-1814D. because it was to be the nation’s capital city17.

The new presidential home was painted white to ______.A. cover the marks of fireB. attract tourist from FranceC. to please Mrs. John AdamsD. keep it warm in winterBIt was Friday, the day of the field trip on which Miss Joan would take her class to pick apples.Miss Joan enjoyed picking apples with her students. She smiled as she led her students to the bus that would take them to the Greenly Apple Orchard （果园）.The bus ride was bumpy(颠簸的) and the kids were a little noisy, but still Miss Joan was smiling.The bus stopped in front of the Greenly Apple Orchard and the class got off quickly and quietly. Miss Joan made sure everyone was there. “What a glorious, sunny, apple picking day,” Miss Joan announced with her grandest smile. Mr. Greenly was there to greet them. “Let’s see, there are eighteen children and two adul ts at three dollars each. That will be sixty dollars, please.”Miss Joan held up the brochure in her hand. “It says that the price is twodollars each,” she pointed out. “That’s what I collected from everyone.”“We’ve had to raise the price,” Mr. Greenly s tated.“You sent me this brochure after we made our reservation,” Miss Joan complained, “and it says two dollars!”“Miss Joan, if you look at the bottom of this brochure,” Mr. Greenly said, “you’ll notice very important statement.”Sure enough, in very tin y letters, it said, “Prices are subject to change without notice.”Miss Joan was determined to keep her good mood. She took a twenty dollars bill out of her own purse and handed it to Mr. Greenly with the forty dollars she had in an envelope.“Now children, do you all have your baskets?” Miss Joan called out. “Remember, each of you can pick as many apples as possible.”Mr. Greenly said, “You can’t pick as many apples as possible.”“I beg your pardon!” Miss Joan was not smiling now. “The brochure says, ‘ALL YOU CAN PICK’!”Mr. Greenly pointed to the tiniest letters Miss Joan had ever almost seen. It also says, “Terms(条款) and conditions of group reservations are subject to change without notice.”Miss Joan’s good mood was now history. She didn’t want to set a bad example for her students, so she said in a calm and quiet voice, “We’re going home, give me our money back, please.”20. The phrase“subject to change without notice” suggests________．A. Mr. Greenly could change the terms at willB. the customers should read the brochure carefullyC. Mr. Greenly could determine what apples to be pickedD. the customers should be informed beforehand21.

阅读理解〔20分〕AMiss Gorgers taught physics in a New York school. Last month she explained to one of her classes about sound, and she decided to test them to see how successful she had been in her explanation. She said to them, “Now I have a brother in Los Angeles. If I was calling him on the phone and at the same time you were 75 feet away, listening to me from across the street, which of you would hear what I said earlier, my brother or you and for what reason?〞 Tom at once answered, “Your brother. Because electricity travels faster than sound waves.〞“That’s very good,〞 Miss Gorgers answered; but then one of the girls raised her hand, and Miss Gorgers said. “Yes, Kate.〞“I disagree,〞 Kate s aid. “Your brother would hear you earlier because when it’s 11 o’clock here it’s only 8 o’clock in Los Angeles.〞1.

Neither A nor BBFor years I wanted a flower garden, but with five children I was too busy to have one. Money was limited, and so was time. Often one of the children would want something that cost too much, and I would say,“Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn’t grow on trees, you know.〞Finally, when all five had gotten through high school and college, and had started having their own families, I started thinking again about having a garden. However, I knew gardens cost money.Then, one spring morning on Mother’s Day, as I was working in my kitchen, I heard cars drive by and looked out of the window to see a new tree planted in my yard. I couldn’t believe my eyes: it was a money tree! Dollar bills were stuck all over that tree, and there was a note which read:“I owe you eight hours of digging time. Love, Marvin.〞Marvin, my first son, kept his promise. He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen-foot bed(花坛，花圃) for me. My other children bought me tools, a sunflower stepping stone(踏脚石) and gardeningbooks. We built a garden together.That was three years ago. My garden is now very pretty, and just what I’d always wanted. When I go out to weed or tend my flowers, I don’t seem to miss my children as m uch as I once did. It feels as if they were right there with me. When I think about what my children have done for me, I get tears in my eyes every time.I’m still not sure whether money grows on trees. But I know love does!6.

Bake sales have proven to be highly profitable toward schools with young people because the start-up costs are very small. Allie，a Roslyn High School freshman , agrees that bake sales are needed for school supplies.“l think it’s wrong for schools to ban bake sales because a lot of schools need the money to be raised. Our school could really use the money for new uniforms.”Allie also commented on the bake sales apparent cause of child overweight. “I fe el that it is the student’s choice to eat the baked goods. lf they want it, let them have it．”Jessica，another Roslyn High School freshman, had a different opinion.“I feel that children can not always stay away from items such as cupcakes. It might be better if the amount of bake sales were limited, and only allowed students to buy one item.”New York Education advisors are having trouble coming up with substitute product for students to sell. A plan of advertising healthier foods has come into play. However the department needs to consider if students will go for items like vegetables. Allie and Jessica don’t think so.“Students might not like the healthier foods. This way, the schools are gaining less money.”Allie shares. Another plan to think about is the idea of not selling food products altogether. Alternate programs are being conducted throughout New York schools，such as walk-a-thons, as a healthy way for students to earn money for their schools．21．The new “wellness”policy is declared in order to_______．A. help schools out of budget difficultiesB. reduce child overweight caused by bake foodC. help students save money spent on foodD. reduce the price of bake food sold in schools22. Which of the following statement about Allie is true?A. He is rich in experience about the bake sales at schoo1.B. He agrees to carry out the bake sales ban at schools.C. He attaches great importance to the school’s income.D. He attaches too much importance to students’health.23. According to Jessica, the cupcakes____________A. don’t belong to the bake salesB. shouldn’t be banned at schoolC. mustn’t be sold at schoolsD. can be fully replaced by vegetables24. Which is both healthy and profitable way for schools to earn money?A. The bake sales.B. The vegetables salesC. The walk-a-thons.D. The food product sales．25.

Soon the shoes will have new owners: under privileged children in the United States and 20 other countries, thanks to Woodburn’s Share Our Soles( SOS) charity.A high school track star in the beach town of Ventura, Woodburn was once sidelined for months with foot injuries.“I started thinking about all the things I got from running---the health benefits, the friendships，the confidence,”he says.“And I realized there are children who don’t even have shoes.” Woodburn gathered up his own slightly worn sneakers，then put out a call to teammates．His goal was to have 100 pairs by Christmas ．When the count climbed to more than 500 pairs, (“everything snowballed,”he says) he decided to turn the shoe drive into a year-round effort.Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes and the local sporting goods store and from door-to-door pickups. Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools and area races. To date, SOS has collected and donated more than 3000 pairs.In just under three years，Woodburn has started three chapters of Share Our Soles：the original in Ventura, another at USC ,and one at the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts last January，when a student there wrote asking to get involved．The organization’s website, , keeps and distributes sneakers and sells wrist bands and socks(the money earned from that goes toward new shoes and socks for children)．26.

On the contrary, a lack of such playin g can create stress for both children and parents, and it also cause obesity (肥胖) when children spend too much time sitting in front of educational videos. The report notes lack of playing could even lead to depression in many children.The reports thinks the lack of playtime lies in the fact that parents want to have super – smartchildren and safe places for children to play is decreasing. A balance between free playing and education activates should be struck, the report sates.“In the current environmen t, where so many parents feel pressure to be super parents, I believe this message is an important one,” said Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg, the report’s lead author and a pediatrician (小儿科医师) at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.Noted pediatrician, author, and presenter of cable TV’s “What Every Baby Knows,” DR. T. Betty Brazeltion agreed. Children with structured activities are missing the chance to dream, to make their own world work the way they want it. That to me is a very important part of childhood. 21．From the passage we can see that today’s children really need more .A．enrichment activities B．conventional playtimeC．structured activities D．educational activities22．Which of the following is a proper word to describe today’s children?A．Dull.

Russia and the US, the only two countries to have achieved manned flight, are struggling to keep their new investment, the international space station.But China, which has a long tradition in physics, mathematics and engineering, finds its doctoral graduates welcomed in the US and Europe for decades. And it has been able to learn from 40 years of pioneering successes and mistakes by the USSR and the USA.Space flight is a gamble and the stakes (赌注) are high. If successful, China could become a member of the world's most exclusive club, set up a second home on the moon and get a powerful hand at the strategic bargaining table.Two designers from the Shenzhou III project said that 12 astronauts now are undergoing intensive training. One more unmanned space flight is planned before the first manned launch.Experts say that the Shenzhou spacecraft already provides China with a space vehicle capable of mounting（发起）a lunar program.

He stood out because the kids made fun of him. He was missing one of his fingers, and always pointed at students with his middle finger.I was not very good at English and math. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not know why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.One day, I was told that if I got one more E on my report card, I would be taken to the “big prison for kids”.I tried really hard for weeks. I just couldn’t understand how to make different parts of numbers into whole things.The day before report cards were to come out, I knew that Mr Young would give me an E, just like he always did.I went to Mr. Young and told him that the orphanage (孤儿院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card. He told me there was nothing he could do; it would be unfair（不公平） to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.

At the airport he had to accept the 40 customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be taken down for 41 . Glen knew that carrying such goods out had to pay the tax, and he worried about paying 42 for his watch. So while checked, he told a lie that his watch was a 43 fake（假货）. When he was 44 of his “smarts”, immediately, in the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, 45 cost nearly 100,000, into pieces 46 hearing Glen’s words. Glen was 47 . Before he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined 48 . For many times of entry-exit 49 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked over everything carefully, and 50 him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if 51 reusing and carrying fake goods, he would be 52 by law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothingin mind after boarding the plane for long.After that, he often told the story to his family and his employees.

Then the telephonerings，you say hello, and the drama starts．The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to．You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness．It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time．Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer．They only feel glad when they make others feel bad．No won der they can hardly win others’ pity or respect．When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted．When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you，you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down．Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people．This could be a co-worker，or a relative．In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person，but all this is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that．Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized．The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness．Life is too short to feel negative．Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible．(350 words)The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______.A. make a comparisonB. introduce a topicC. offer an evidenceD. describe a daily sceneSome negative people base their happiness on _______.A. other people’s pity for themB. other people’s respect for themC. building up a positive attitudeD. making other people unhappy According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us，we are advised to ____.A. show our dissatisfaction to negative peopleB. communicate with negative people as little as possibleC. make negative people feel ashamed of themselvesD. cha nge negative people’s attitudes to life59. What is the author’s attitude towards negative people?A. Favorable．B. Indifferent.C. Critical.D. Supportive.BIn the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I was sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning(按喇叭)or evenshouting at me. At that moment, I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving I put on the flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, “I have a problem here, I am weak and doing the best I can.”And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes weakness calls for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend to feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we’re scared. (343 words)60.The author has discovered that people will feel happy when_______.A. they receive others’ helpB. they offer their helpC. they feel others’ kindnessD. they show their weakness61.The author feels sad sometimes because ______.A. he has a soft heart because of disabilityB. he relies much on others in many casesC. some people fail to see the kindness in othersD. some people pretend to be kind to others62.What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A. They waited with patience.B. They speed up to pass.C. They tried their best to help.D. They put on their flashlights too.63.In this passage, the author advises us to ______.A. handle problems by ourselvesB. accept help from othersC. show our braveryD. admit our weakness64.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.

Since August 1, the bureau has also carried out checks on vehicles’ emission control systems to make sure they are working correctly.About 30 percent of the total 9,300 government cars and the city’s police officers’cars will be off the road from October 12 to December 22, in order to decrease pollution emissions, said Li Zhuo, director of the motor pollution control office, Guangzhou environmental protection bureau.Meanwhile, all construction sites in the city, except those with special authorization, will be asked to stop building from the end of September to the end of December, said Zhang Guangning, secretary of Guangzhou Party committee.In November, the city usually registers its worst air quality due to the colder weather, which makes it more difficult to monitor pollution.Jian Jianyang, director of the pollution control division at the environmental protection bureau, said factories that pollute excessively will have to limit their production during the Games and will not be allowed to return to normal production levels until December 20.Guangzhou began to look into improving its air quality after it won its bid to host the 16th Asian Games in July 2004.“It’s not just an emergency package to limit the air pollution,”said Jian. “It’sa long –term measure and we see the Games as an opportunity to achieve it quicker.”56.

They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive carelessly up and down America’s main streets. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldn’t forget that the re are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman’s funeral〔葬礼〕 which happened in a church. A teenage grandson stepped forward. Softly he began:“I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family d og would attack her, what would Nana say? ‘Oh, what beautiful markings that dog has.’ That was Nana.“She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city.

2021届高考总复习25分钟限时阅读天天练—第8天阅读表达Walking is a popular form of exercises. It is an easy activity and offers a good way to improve physical fitness. Walking also gives many of the same benefits as other kinds of exercises.Regular, brisk walks helps a person’s body work better. Walking builds a stronger heart and lungs. The heart pumps blood through the body. It gets more rest between beats. Walking also seems to help protect the heart from heart diseases. The lungs work better because they take in and use oxygen more effectively. Walking can help __________, too. A quick fifteen-minute walk burns as many calories as jogging the same distance in half the time. Walking causes very few injuries. So there is also a lower “dropout〞rate among walkers than among runners. People are more likely to continue a walking program. This gives a better chance for success.Walking offers some mental benefits, too. It seems to make people feel better. Many walkers say they sleep better at night when they take regular walks. Others say they have a better attitude about life.Walking offers many of the same physical and mental benefits as other forms of exercise, but walking offers some special advantages, too.★Almost everyone can walk. There are no special lessons of coaching. To become a serious walker, a person only needs to walk faster, farther and more often.★People can walk almost anywhere. There are no special playing fields or courts for walking. Sidewalks, streets, parks, fields and malls are excellent places for walking.★People can walk almost anytime. A person doesn’t need a team or a partner for walking. There is no “season〞for walking. Most walkers walk in all kinds of weather.★Walking doesn’t cost anything. There are no special fe es for walking. Good walking shoes and comfortable clothes are the only equipment that a walker needs.Walking offers a form of exercise within the reach of nearly everyone. With a little time and effort, people can rediscover a valuable form of exercise and improve their fitness.1.What’s the best title of the passage?

Among the special advantages of walking, which one do you think is the most important? Why? (within 30 words)_____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ __5. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese._____________________________________________________________________ _阅读理解ATUV ALU, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it will be swallowed up by the sea.Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu’s nine littleislands is more than five meters above sea level. Salt water is already entering the country’s drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetab le. Without urgent help, the country’s days are numbered.But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea. Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20-50cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Mark’s Square, the lowest point city, flooded about nine times a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, global warming causes Tuvalu’s rising sea level.The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degrees over the past century; scientists expect it rise by extra 1-3 degrees over the next 100 years.Warmer weather makes glaciers (冰川) melt, and adds more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10-25 cm in the last 100 years.The main cause of global warming is human pollution. Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise by one meter this century.Should this come true, the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with “climate refugees〞looking for somewhere to live.6 . We can infer from the second paragraph that .A. Tuvalu is in danger of being swallowed up by the seaB. all Tuvalu’s islands are about five meters above the sea levelC. drinking water in Tuvalu has been destroyedD. Tuvalu is often flooded by storms and waves7. The author uses Tuvalu and Venice as examples in order to explain .A. they are the first place sinking into the seaB. they are both sinking into the mud where they standC. they will disappear in the futureD. their trouble is caused by global warming8. Put the following events in the right order.a. Glaciers began to melt.b. People burn coal ,oil and gas.c. The greenhouse effect is growing.d. The earth is getting warmer and warmee. The sea level is rising.f. More CO2 is produced.g. Many places are sinking into the sea.A. d,f,b,c,a,e,gB. b,f,c,d,e,a,gC. f,c,b,d,a,e,gD. b,f,c,d,a,e,g9. What does “climate refugees〞mean?A. Climate changes.B. Climate effect.C. People forced away from their homeland by climate.D. Rare animals moving from place to place for climate changes.10. Which of the following is False according to the passage?A. The sea level has risen about 10-25 cm in the last 100 years for warmer temperatures.B. The average global temperature has risen by 1-3 centigrade degrees over the past 100 years.C. The warmer temperature causes the sea level to rise.D. There will be huge climate changes unless the warming is stopped.BWhen people advise your c hildren to “get an education〞, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to give manpower for your society.Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you are occupationally(职业上) dead, unless your name happens to be George Washington or Thomas Edison and you can successfully stop study in primary schools.Get a college degree, if possible. With a BA, you should start to find a job. You have to put on the brakes now. If you do go for a master’s degree, m ake sure it is an MBA and only from a first-class university. Otherwise, the famous law ofdiminishing(报酬递减率)begins to work.Do you know, for example, that long-distance truck drivers make more money a year than full professors? Yes, each driver was paid $ 28,000 in 1997 while a full professor managed to get $ 27,930.A PhD is the highest degree you can get, but except in a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry, where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial aim, you are facing a not very bright future. There are more PhDs unemployed in this country than in any other part of the world by far.If you became a PhD in English or history or political science or languages or－worst of all －in philosophy, you take the risk of becoming over-educated for our national demands.Thousands of PhDs are selling shoes, driving taxis, waiting on tables and filling out applications month after month, and then may be taking a job in some high school or college with the pay much less than a door-keeper makes.11. According to the writer, society expects education to turn out people who will _________.A. raise their paymentB. become specialized in some fieldC. get employedD. meet the demands as a source of manpower12. Long-distance truck drivers make more money a year than full professors because_________.A. the famous law of diminishing functionsB. long-distance truck drivers only get a high school diplomaC. full professors are PhDs in English or historyD. long-distance truck drivers work harder than full professors13. If you don’t want to be occupationally dead, you __________.A. should look for a job in a primary schoolB. must at least get a high school diplomaC. have to get as high an education as possibleD. should try to avoid being overeducated in philosophy14. The underlined phrase “put on the brakes〞in the 3rd paragraph means _________.A. stop learning for a high degreeB. take up a master’s degree at onceC. go on studying in a first-class universityD. find any interesting job15. We can know from the passage that __________.A. neither George Washington or Edison finished high schoolB. there are more PhDs than the society demandsC. the higher education you get, the more money you will earnD. if you are specialized in physics, you can not easily get a good job参考答案1.Walking for Exercise 〔walking 为中心词，学生所写答案有此词即可得1分〕2.So there is also a lower “dropout〞are among walkers than among runners.3.to lose weight/ in weight control4.I think “People can walk almost anywhere.〞is the most important. Other formsof exercise like football, basketball or swimming need special playing fields, or special equipment, while walking doesn’t. 〔答案合理即可；此题为两个问题，一个问题1分〕5. 漫步跟其他锻炼一样对人的身心都有好处，并且漫步还有一些特殊的优势。

The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men’s hearts go into rapid decline（下降） when they reach middle age.The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that wome n’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.”What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman’s heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one’s.“This gender（性） difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” sa id Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove（消除）the confusing influence of disease. “The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,” said Goldspink.The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular （规律的）exercise. Goldspink stressed （强调）that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.21. The underlined word “longevity” in the second paragraph probably refers to（指的是）“________”.A. healthB. long lifeC. ageingD. effect22. The text mainly talks about ________.A. men’s heart cellsB. women’s ageing process、C. the gender differenceD. hearts and long life23. According to the text, the UK scientists have known that ________.A. women have more cells than men when they are bornB. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beatC. the female heart loses few of the cells with ageD. women never lose their pumping power with age24. If you want to live longer, you should ________.A. enable your heart to beat much fasterB. find out the reason for ageingC. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthyD. prevent your cells from being lost25. We can know from the passage（文章）that ________.A. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found outB. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cellsC. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater lossD. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20New words________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ __New phrases________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ __New sentences________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ __完型1-5 DBACA 6-10 DCADB 11-15 DBCAB 16-20 CBDAD阅读：21-25 B D C C B。
