What a great waste it is!I quite agree to the suggestion that we should recycle the textbooks. There are millions of students studying at university, middle school and primary school in China. Every year, printing new textbooks needs huge amounts of paper made from wood. If the graduates leave their old textbooks for the newcomers, a great many trees can escape being cut down. Secondly, paper making is a business causing heavy pollution. Using less paper is an effective way to protect our environment. Besides, there are still many people in China living in poverty. The cost for new textbooks is rather a heavy burden. Finally, in Australia and some other countries, recycling textbooks is popular and they set us a good example.In conclusion, recycling textbooks can help to build up people’s awareness of the importance of resource preservation, waste reduction and environmental protection from very young age. So I’m totally in favor of recycling textbooks.高三英语寒假作业(4)1-5 BCCAC 6-10 BBDDD 11-15 ACCDB 16-20ABBCC21—25 DBBCA 26-30BAACD 31-35BDABA 36-40BABCD1-4: BDCB1.Definition 2.better3.harm/damage 4.Development/History5.promoting 6.adopted7.stricter 8.present9.satisfaction 10.globally/worldwide高三英语寒假作业(5)1—5 BDCCD 6—10 ABBBB 11—15 CCBCC 16—20 CABCD21—25 BCBAD 26—30 ADBCA 31—35 DCADB 36—40 DABCA41—44 BBBC1. move2. history3. increasing4. richer/wealthier5.

It will also make it possible for them to take their favorite jobs in the future. However, others think differently. They believe that the environment is important to one’s development and that graduates from leading universities are often more likely to find good jobs in the job market.In my opinion, the best choice is a good major at a good university. If we cannot obtain both, the first thing to consider is a good major, because no matter where we study, we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we try our best.高三英语寒假作业(7)1-20 ACDDC CCBCA BDDBA21-40 DBBCD DBACB ADCCA BBDBC41-44 BBCA1.Benefits/Advantages2.Disconnecting3.productive4.Tips/Advice/Suggestions5.better6.Consider7.trusted8.before9.enough 10.proper高三英语寒假作业(8)1—5 DBDCC 6—10 BDCDA 11—15 ABDCB 16—20 ABDDA21—25 CBDAC 26—30 BDABD 31—35 ADBCA36—40 CDABC41— D C C A1. dangerous2. approaches3. absorbed4. hopes5. would6. appropriate7. concerned8. company9. faced 10. develop高三英语寒假作业(9)1-5 CADAB 6-10 AABDB 11-15 BACDC 16-20 CADAB21-25 CBDAB 26-30 CDBAB 31-35 CADCA 36-40 CADBA41-45 BDADD(One possible version)Parents’ Being Slaves to the ChildrenParents’ being slaves to their children or ―child’s salve‖ is nowada ys a hot topic in China. It refers to young parents who have to spend a large part of their income on children. These parents feel great strain under the burden of raising a child and struggle hard to make as much money as possible.The cost of raising a child in China is becoming greater and greater. But economic pressure is not the only reason that makes young parents ―child’s slave.‖ Parents’ competing with each other in trying to provide the best possible living conditions for their children should also be blamed. Retailers know well that young couples only buy the most expensive things for their children, so infant and child commodities become increasingly expensive.If it continues, this problem would affect the parents and the development of our country. These parents would suffer from huge economic pressure, which may pose a threat to their marriages or physical and mental health. On the other hand, to avoid being slaves, some couplesare unwilling to have children. If the birth rate decreases to a dangerous level, there would be insufficient work force in the future.高三英语寒假作业(10)1-5 BAADC 6-10 ADDAD 11-15 ACBAD 16-20 CBCDD21-25 BCAAD 26-30 CBCBA 31-35 CABAD 36-40 CBCDD41-44 AACD(1) Why (2) imagination (3) Poetry (4) Purposes / Aims / Goals (5) relaxed (6) knowledge (7) more (8) enjoy / appreciate (9) open (10) importance高三英语寒假作业(11)1-5 DCABA 6-10 DBBCC 11-15 BBBDC 16-20 DCDCC21-25 ABCCB 26-30 ABADC 31-35 CDDBA 36-40 CDBCB41-44 CCBD1.

APopular Shows◆This Is UsEvery family has a story.

Saturday Night Live.BBorn a proud Irish girl, for university I decided to expand my horizons and move to England. It was only then that I realized how many things from home I took for granted. From how much I love my cat, my family and my friends- with my cat on top of the list- to how much I love an Ulster fry armed with soda and potato bread.Being now in my third year at university, I was adjusting to boring old English breakfasts. Meanwhile, I got used to living away, surrounded by new friends and nice food. Then I moved to Germany for my year abroad, saying goodbye to practically everything I knew about food.I’ve visited the t wo largest supermarkets in Germany—Edeka and Aldi, Although they offer a wide variety of groceries, I have no idea what to do with them, which is not unique to Germany. As I wandered through the lanes, I found what I’d been looking for when I came across some eggs, one of my favorite foods as they are the only things I can cook. However, my happiness was cut short when I was faced with the task of choosing what TYPE of eggs. Not only were there all sorts of different colors—blue, red, green, you name it—there were also multi-colored eggs. I have never been so confused, especially about eggs. I immediately felt defeated, chose some white eggs and took myself home to cook the one dish I know—eggs on toast.To be fair, I have only been living here for two weeks, so I don’t have much experience in the Germankitchen yet (but to be honest I don’t have much experience in any kitchen). Apart from the food, I’m loving Germany. It is surprisingly easy to adapt to the new culture and I find it fascinating. If only the food were as easy for me to fall in love with!25. What docs the author miss the most from home?A. Her cat.B. Her family.C. Her friends.D. An Ulster fry,26. What does the author mean by “saying goodbye. . . I knew about food”?A. She said goodbye to everything she learnt.B. She didn’t want to move to the German university.C. She said goodbye to the food in England.D. She found German food different and unfamiliar,27. What can we learn about the author?A. She was an experienced cook back in England.B. She loves everything about Germany but its food.C. Her happiness deepened as she found colorful eggs.D. Her experience in the German kitchen was memorable.28. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. What I Love About GermanyB. Different Cultures, Similar ConditionsC. Colorful Cultures, Different FoodD. How I Learned to Cook with EggsCSweden is moving away from cash in favor of cards and mobile payment apps. According to a new study, the nation is on track to leave cash behind completely by 2023, though retailers (零售商) expect to still accept cash for a couple more years after that.Have you noticed that, over the years, you’ve begun to use your cards or mobile pay apps much more frequently than cash? You’re not alone in this. This trend has been on the rise in other countries around the world. In China, for example, cash is quickly on its way out, with mobile payments doubling last year. Sweden has also been forgoing cash at an increasing rate over the last several years, and experts predict that it’s only a short matterof time before the country is entirely cashless.In fact, Sweden may be completely digital in just a few years, if researchers Niklas Arvidsson and Jonas Hedman of Copenhagen School of Economics are to be believed. The pair estimate that cash will no longer be used or accepted by Swedish retailers by 2023, at the earliest. Currently, 97% of all retailers accept cash payments, but only 18% of all transactions actually involve cash.Interestingly, mobile payments are performing rather poorly. Credit cards are the primary way people pay, with mobile pay apps accounting for o nly 0.4 %. It’s unclear why only a small number of people seem to use them; it could be a matter of convenience, trust or simply knowing how.Consumers are largely facilitating the change, though banks have also done their part to push people away from cash, as they want ;to reduce the risk of robbery. Retailers share this sentiment. “We wanted to minimize the risk of robberies and it’s quicker with the customers when they pay by card,”says bakery manager Victoria Nil sson. “It’s been mainly positive reactions. ”29. What is the most common way of paying in Sweden?A. Cash.B. Credit cards.C. Pay apps.D. Bank accounts.30. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “forgoing” in Paragraph 2?A. Giving up.B. Looking for.C. Talking about.D. Depending on.31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. No retailer in Sweden will take cash in 2023.B. Credit cards will eventually replace mobile payments.C. Retailers are in favor of the trend of becoming cashless.D. Banks become worried as people move away from cash.DI strongly believe that individual actions make a difference to our environment. I’ve been a vegetarian for more than two decades, choose to be child-free partially because I can’t justify my genes’ importance over the shocking amount of resources needed for raising another American, and haven’t owned a car in four years. Thosethings, over time, will absolutely reduce my impact on our beautiful world, and the more people do them, the greater the impact is.But it’s not n early enough.While I will continue to do my part to fight climate change, I have to wonder why there isn’t an equal effort by those who have the biggest impact. According to a recent report, 71% of greenhouse gases are produced by just 100 companies. Surely, working to minimize their emissions (排放物) will do far more, much faster than me talking people’s ears off on Facebook about eating less meat. After all, I have been doing that kind of work for 20 years now, and we are still headed towards climate disaster.Why should so much of the solution to global warming be on the shoulders of individuals?When President Kennedy decided we needed to beat the Russians to the moon landing, he didn’t encourage housewives to figure out bow to get there. He got the smartest and most talented people together to solve the challenges. NASA got us there, with lots of hard work and late nights, and also full encouragement and funding from the US government.But this is not the case with climate change. Big companies are let off the hook while we take on the huge burden of dealing with the emissions of the biggest and most powerful. That strikes me as just plain unfair. The serious threats of climate change require an all-hand-on-deck response. Corporations need to do their part, becauseI can’t do it on my own.32. Why does the author choose not to have a child?A. America doesn’t have large amounts of resourc es.B. A child can’t justify the importance of her genes.C. She tries to avoid the trouble of raising a child.D. She wants to reduce her impact on the environment.33. What does the underlined phrase “that kind of work” refer to in Paragraph 3?A. Mi nimizing companies’ emissions.B. Recommending a vegetarian dict.C. Talking with friends on Facebook.D. Heading towards climate disaster.34. Why does the author mention America’s moon landing in Paragraph 5?A. To praise housewives’ contribution.B. To remember a former president.C. To stress the importance of government’s role.D. To encourage NASA to take on the challenge.35. What can we learn about the big companies in America?A. Their efforts to fight climate change aren’t enough.B. They are the reason why the climate gets colder.C. Their burden should be shared by ordinary Americans.D. They are responsible for today’s social unfairness.第二节(共5小题;每小题3分, 满分15分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

On the Internet.CWhen a dog loses a leg, the animal eventually figures out the best way to get around on three legs. In a short time, the dog learns to deal with its physical disability.Now, scientists have developed robots that behave in much the same way.We can find robots everywhere. Robots build cars, play chess and can clean your house. They may someday drive your car, too.Two robots, named Spirit and Opportunity, were sent to Mars on a mission to explore the red planet.Jeff Clune is a computer scientist with the University of Wyoming. He says robots also help people in natural disasters.Robots are deployed in search and rescue operations following an earthquake. They may someday also be used to examine the wreckage of a nuclear accident, like the one in Fukushima, Japan.Mr. Clune says robots can be sent to a lot of places said to be unsafe.“The problem is that all of those types of situations and environment are extremely unpredictable and dangerous. And it is very likely that robots and humans in those situations become damaged.”He and other scientists are developing technology so that robots will continue operating after the first sign of injury. They want the machines to have the ability to make changes and continue performing until they can be repaired.Mr. Clune and researchers in France have added one more operation to the skill set of robots working under difficult conditions. They say they programmed a hexapod robot, one with six legs, and a robotic arm to learn how to deal with injury. Their findings were reported in the journal “Nature”.Mr. Clune said that once the robots become damaged, they use their intuition and knowledge of how their body works to find a way to deal with the damage.He says the robots are also programmed with child-like curiosity. In other words, they are always asking questions and looking for answers. The whole process takes about a minute for the robots to find a way to overcome damage.66. At the beginning of the passage, the writer mentions dogs to __________.A. provide examples of how animals deal with unexpected injuryB. show how scientists get inspiration from dogs to develop technologyC. introduce the topic in a more attractive wayD. suggest that scientists shouldn‟t ignore the similarity between dogs and robots.67. According to the passage, nowadays robots can‟t __________.A. play chess or clean the houseB. be sent on a mission to explore on the MarsC. help people in search and rescue operations following an earthquakeD. examine the wreckage of a nuclear accident68. Why are Mr.Clune and other scientists devoted to developing the technology?A. They want to succeed in programming robots with child-like curiosity.B. They expect to enable robots to continue working despite injury under difficult conditions.C. They intend to make robots which can be sent to a lot of places said to be unsafe.D. They are determined to design a more powerful robot for Mars exploration.69. Now scientists have developed robots that, once damaged, can __________.A. rely on their functions to figure out a way to handle the emergency.B. figure out the best way to get around in a short timeC. spend about a second finding a way to overcome damageD. maintain their child-like curiosity and keep asking people around for solutionsDSuppose you become a leader in an organization. It‟s very likely that you‟ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization‟s activities. To do so, it should help to u nderstand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.Let‟s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people‟s wish of participation from an internal (内在的) factor (e.g., “I volunteer because it‟s important to me”) to an external (外在的) factor (e.g., “I volunteer because I‟m required to do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experie nce”.Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “V olunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers‟ expectations, they found a positive correlation (正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity... Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity”.32. People volunteer mainly out of ______ .A. academic requirementsB. social expectationsC. financial rewardsD. internal needs33. What can we learn from the Florida study?A. Follow-up studies should last for one year.B. Volunteers should get mentally prepared.C. Strategy training is a must in research.D. V olunteers are provided with concrete advice.34. What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?A. Individual differences in role identity.B. Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.C. Role identity as a volunteer.D. Practical advice from researchers.35. What is the best title of the passage?A. How to Get People to V olunteerB. How to Study V olunteer BehaviorsC. How to Keep Volunteers‟ InterestD. How to Organize Volunteer Activities第二节(七选五共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

寒假作业Unit 1 B卷I never saw my father back home from work late or ill, nor did I ever see my father take a night out with the boys. He had no hobbies but just took care of his family.For 22 years, since I left home for college, my father called me every Sunday at 9: 00 a. m. He was always interested in my life—how my family was doing. The calls even came when he and my mother were in Australia, England or Florida.Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day for three days, painting my house. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked was a glass of iced tea, and that I hold a paintbrush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy, for I had a law practice to run, and I could not take the time to hold the paintbrush, or talk to my father.Five years ago, my 71-year-old father spent five hours putting together a swing set(秋千) for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea, and talk to him. But again, I had the laundry to do, and the house to clean.The morning on Sunday, January 15, 1995, my father telephoned me as usual, this time he had seemed to have forgotten some things we had discussed the week before.I had to go to church, and I cut the conversation short.The call came at 4: 40 p.m. That day my father was sent to hospital in Florida.I got on a plane immediately, and I vowed(发誓) that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, and have a nice long talk with him and really get to know him.I arrived in Florida at 1:00 a.m., but my father had passed away at 9: 12 p.m. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.In the years since his death I have learnt much about my father, and even more about every single day.1. We know from the reading that the father _____.A. liked to paint housesB. had no friends around himC. was not healthy in his youthD. thought of his family as his all2. When her father painted her first house, the daughter _____.A. could only afford a glass of iced teaB. was too busy to talk to her fatherC. could do nothing but hold a paintbrushD. spent eight hours a day working with her father3. Which is the best title of the text?A. Painting HousesB. Daughter's FamilyC. Father and ID. Father's phone callsMy teacher picked up a piece of broken glass and asked, "Who broke this window?"Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher may have found out. She seldom became angry, but she was this time."Oh," I thought. I was the one who broke the window. It was caused by a mischievous throw of a baseball. If I admitted the guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How could I be able to pay for a big window like that? I didn't even get an allowance. "My father is going to have a fit," I thought. I didn't want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger than I was pulled it skyward. I told the truth. "I did it." It was hard enough to say what I had done.My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacher to strike a student, but I feared she was going to start with me."I know how you like birds," she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden face. "Here is that field guide about birds that you are constantly checking out. It is yours now. It's time that we should get a new one for the school anyway. You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed, but I am rewarding you for your truthfulness."I couldn't believe it! I wasn't being told off and I got my own bird field guide—the very one that I had been saving money up to buy.All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me. That lesson stays with me every day, and it will echo forever.1. From the story, we can learn that the boy _____.A. didn't break the window on purposeB. lacked the strength to admit his guiltC. tried to think about what he had doneD. didn't know what the teacher had found out2. If the boy admitted the guilt, he didn't think he would _____.A.be punished by the teacherB. make his father angryC. pay for the broken windowD. get a bird field guide3. Which of the following best describes the changes of the boy's moods?A. Afraid—Surprised—Thankful.B. Frightened—Amazed—Proud.C. Regretful—Guilty—Excited.D. Nervous—Afraid—Satisfied.4. What is the lesson the boy's teacher taught him?A. Every coin has two sides.B. Honesty is always precious.C. Bad luck never comes alone.D. It's never too late to be careful.Who's in control of your life? Who's pulling your strings? For the majority of us, it's other people—society, colleagues, friends, family or our community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are som eone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug—we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix(成瘾物)we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom—the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted (tired) and probably pleasing no one in the process.So how can we take back control? I think there's only one way—make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values—not values imposed from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.1.What Oscar Wilde says implies that ________.A.most people have a variety of thoughtsB.we have thoughts similar to those of othersC.other people's thoughts are more importantD.most people's thoughts are affected by others2.What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph?A.The price of taking the drug is freedom.B.We may lose ourselves to win the approval of others.C.We need to pay for what we want to get.D.Changing opinions may cost us our freedom.3.It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A.it's better to follow others' opinionsB.it's important to accept others' commentsC.we shouldn't change our own decisionD.we shouldn't care too much what others think4.The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his arguments mainly by ________.A.discussing questionsB.making suggestionsC.analyzing causes and effectsD.providing examples and factsAccording to Gallup's annual Global Emotions report, people all over the world are more stressed than ever before. Nearly 40 percent of adults from 146 countries reported having experienced worry or stress. And it isn't just adults experiencing these high stress levels; experts have also observed a rise in the number of children. According to another study published in EurekAlert, one in five students are so stressed that they've considered self-harm or suicide. The immense stress they face has been proven to be harmful to their health.It's no news that stress can trigger anxiety, depression and self-harming behavior, and cause sleep problems, social withdrawal, angry outbursts and obsessive-compulsive behavior.It might sound easier said than done but studies have shown that the best way to deal with stress is to change your understanding of it.The University of Wisconsin conducted a study of 30,000 Americans. Researchers asked them how much stress they'd experienced in the past year and whether they believed stress was harming their health. The researchers concluded that people in the study who were exposed to large amounts of stress and viewed stress as harmful had 43 percent higher risk of dying than people who viewed stress as a helpful response.More interestingly, those with more positive perceptions of stress had the lowest risk of death out of all involved in the study, even lower than those experiencing very little stress.A separate study conducted by researchers from King's College London and the University of Marburg showed students with more negative beliefs about stress experienced more physical symptoms, such as headaches, tension and tiredness during a stressful end-of-semester exam period, compared with students who had more positive beliefs about stress.These two studies have proven that stress itself is not actually bad. It isthe belief that stress is bad that is bad.1.What can we know from the passage?A.More and more people suffer from higher stress levels.B.One in five adults in America have considered self-harm.C.30,000 children have experienced stress in the past year.D.Children are more likely to believe stress is helpful than adults.2.What does the research by the University of Wisconsin conclude?A.Stress generally benefits us.B.Stress leads to a higher risk of death.C.People under stress often perform better.D.Optimism cuts the risk of stress-related death.3.What is the purpose of referring to a separate study in Paragraph 6?A.To put forward a new idea.B.To support the above findings.C.To compare different findings.D.To argue against the above point.4.What would be the best title for this passage?A.Stress Affects People of All AgesB.We Are Winning the Battle Against StressC.Stress Damages Your Health if You Think SoD.Negative Beliefs about Stress Cause TensionPeople who are naturally funny in social situations experience many benefits. Numerous studies have shown that humour reduces social anxiety, helps to ease tension, and has a number of positive emotional and psychological effects.

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑.ASuppose you are thinking about attending college in the United States, but perhaps you might not be ready for a university with a four-year program. About 88,000 international students have found solution. They are attending U.S. community colleges. Such colleges are sometimes called junior colleges. They offer two years of education above the secondary or high school level.Community college students can choose from subjects like medical assistance, computer science or law. At the end of their study program, they receive a document of completion, called a certificate. Some students work toward an associate degree in traditional academic subjects like science or history. After getting it, the students can move on to a four-year college or university. They may have only two years of study left before they receive a bachelor’s degree.Many educational experts agree that saving money is the major reason to consider a community college. The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) says that a public two-year college costs 3,000 dollar a year on average. That is true if the student lives in the same state as the school. A student at a four-year public college may pay 8,500 dollars a year for classes and user fees. That does not include books and other materials.Some international students may need more preparation in English before entering a community college in the United States. For example, Istrif Montgomery came to the U.S. from Kosovo in 2006. First, he worked to improve his English at Montgomery College for a year. Then for the next two years, he attended classes in basic subjects in a community college.The international students at two-year colleges need to find a place to live. Most community colleges do not provide student housing on their grounds. But Mr Montgomery had a home nearby. He was able to ride the bicycle, and he was able to walk if he wanted. In fact, most community college students live within five to ten miles off the college.1. What’s the biggest advantage of a community college?A. The classes are free of charge.B. The students can save much time.C. The students can save a lot of money.D. It is convenient for students to live in the college.2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Mr Montgomery usually goes to school on foot.B. Most students in community colleges don’t live far away.C. 8,500 dollars covers all the cost of a four-year public college.D. International students often attend a community college directly.3. What’s the main purpose of the passage?A. To encourage students to study abroad.B. To tell the international students how to save money.C. To tell us it’s a good choice to study in public colleges.D. To give some information about community colleges.BI always avoid going on field investigations with the toxics(有毒物)team, unless it’s absolutely necessary. It’s not that I mind the hard work, or am afraid of coming into contact with toxic substances. What I fear is quickly losing hope about the work I do.However, doing field research with the toxic team, all I see and feel is filth---nothing else. Even if I close my eyes, I can smell the smell of food processing, rotting organic waste from paper mills and chemicals from clothing manufacturers.One morning, I went to investigate a discharged pipe to document and collect samples of pollutants secretly being emitted by a textile mill. I had to work with the utmost secrecy in order to avoid being discovered by the textile mill.I dipped a long measuring pole into the large polluting pipe to measure the volume of polluted water being emitted. But the surface of the water, covered in oil and filth, made me feel as if to vomit(呕吐).All of a sudden, I felt someone hit me on my back, it frightened me so much that I almost fell into the water. I grasped the pole and looked behind me to see an old man standing there. He asked: “Can you catch fish here?”I realized that he though t I was holding a fish pole, so I kept calm and said: “Yes, I heard that there’s a kind of small fish living in this water, and it has medicinal benefits.”The old man grew quite curious and replied: “That may be. If a fish can survive in water as dirt y as this, it must have a lot of resistance. So it wouldn’t be too strange if such fish had medicinal benefits.”It was clear he was just passing by, so I answered: “Yeah, survival of the fittest. Fish that adapt can survive, just like us humans.”He kept talking to me and didn’t want to leave. He wanted to see whether or not I would catch the small fish with medicinal benefits.1.The text is mainly about ____.A. a research report about pollution.B. an exciting experience of fishing.C. an experience of doing research on pollutionD. an unforgettable talk with an old man.2. What is the writer of the text most probably?A. A newspaper reporter.B. A researcher about pollution.C. A fisherman.D. A worker of the textile mill.3. Why did the writer tell the old man he was fishing?A. Because he wanted to satisfy the old man’s curiosity.B. Because the old man was interested in fishing too.C. Because he did the research secretly.D. Because the old man wanted to buy the fish.4. We can infer from the last paragraph that ___.A. the old man had found out the secret.B. the old man wanted to have the fish.C. the writer would have to tell the old man the fact.D. the old man was sent to watch over the writer.CChildhood was an illusion (错觉) and the illusion was this: everything was bigger. No, Imean everything, not just houses and shops and grown-ups, but colors and flowers and journeys, especially journeys which seemed endless. “Are we there yet, Daddy?”Funfairs (游乐场) were huge things that spread for miles around you with noise and lights and exciting danger. Rainy days at home when you were ill seemed to last for ever. Being a grown-up yourself was an unthinkable distant possibility. Every sound was louder, every game was grander, every pain unbearable.As I’ve grown old, life has become smaller. Tastes have bulled. Surprises have lurned into shocks. Days go by unnoticed. How can I regain childhood when it was an illusion?I have only one repeatable and wonderful way and even in this way I can regain only part of that larger world. I can play upon the stage like a child and make the crowd laugh and laugh with them, sometimes helplessly like a child, and then, even though I’m a sixty-one-year-old man, I can almost catch the colors and sounds and stillness of those bigger years when I was little.1. How does the author feel about his childhood?A. It was endless.B. It was unpleasant.C. He is glad that it is over.D. He misses it as a grown-up2. The author thinks that everything was bigger in childhoodbecause .A. children could not make proper judgments.B. children were curious and eager about lifeC. things appeared really big in children’s eyesD. to grow up seemed so long for children3. The world seems to have become smaller to the author because .A. life is disappointingB. time goes by too fastC. he has had too many surprisesD. foods no longer taste delicious4. The author enjoys playing on the stage so as to .A. act like a childB. live an unusual lifeC. make the crowd laughD. regain his childhoodDWhy I Don’t Spare “Spare Change”“Poor but honest.” “The deserving(值得帮助的)poor. ” These words always come to my mind when I think of “the poor. ”But I also think of people who, perhaps through alcohol(酒)or drugs, have ruined not only their own lives but also the lives of others in order to give way to their own pleasure. Perhaps alcoholism and drug addiction(上瘾)really are “diseases. ” as many people say, but my own feeling -based, of course, not on any serious study-is that most alcoholies and drug addicts belong to the “undeserving poor. ”And that is largely why I don’t give spare change to beggars.But surely among the street people there are also some who can rightly be called “deserving.”Deserving what? My spare change? Or simply the government’s assistance? It happens that I have been brought up to believe that it is proper to make contributions to charity(慈善机构), but if I give some change to a beggar, am I making a contribution to charity and thereby helping someone, or, am I perhaps simply encouraging someone not to get help? Or, maybe even worse, am I supporting a cheat?If one believes in the value of private charity, one can either give to needy people or to charitable organizations. In giving to a beggar one may indeed be helping a person who badly needs help, but one cannot be certain that one is giving to a needy person. In giving to an organization, on the other hand, one can feel that one’s money is likely to be used wisely. True, facing a beggar one may feel that this particular unfortunate person needs help at this moment-a cup of coffee or a sandwich -and the need will not be met unless I put my hand in my pocket right now. But I have come to think that the beggars whom I meet can get along without my spare change, and indeed perhaps they are actually better off for not having money to buy alcohol or drugs.I know nothing about these beggars, but it’s my impression that they simply prefer begging to working. I am not generalizing about street people. I am talking aboutthe people whom I actually meet. That’s why I do not give “spare change, ” and I don’t think I will in the future.1.What does the author think of beggars who take drugs?A.They should be given a cheek-up.B.They really need money to live.C.They have no pleasure in life.D.They are not worth helping.2.Why doesn’t the author give money to street people?A.He doesn’t think they need help.B.He doesn’t have enough money to give.C.He is not convinced they will use it rightly.D.He believes they can get help from the government.3.In the second paragraph, the author presents his idea by _______.A.asking questions for people to think aboutB.giving examples to support his argumentC.raising questions and answering themD.expressing his opinions directly4.Which of the following opinions does the author accept?A.Drug addiction is a disease.B.Some street people are poor and needy.C.Most beggars have received enough help.D.Charitable organizations handle money properly.第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)【题文】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path .That’s when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometer down the railway tracks.Ceely’s near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS (导航仪). She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train,” she told the BBC.Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely’s story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it’s not just GPS devices: S tevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.36.What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident?A. She was not familiar with the road.B. It was dark and raining heavily then.C. The railway workers failed to give the signal.D. Her GPS device d idn’t tell her about the crossing.37. The phrase “near miss” (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by______.A. close hitB. heavy lossC. narrow escapeD. big mistake38. Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?A. Modern te chnology is what we can’t live without.B. Digital technology often falls short of our expectation.C. Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.D. GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely’s accident.39. In the writer’s opinion, Stevenson’s argument is _______.A. one-sidedB. reasonableC. puzzlingD. well-basedBPassage 1The information Highway is the road that links computer users to a large number of on-line services; the Web, e-mail, and software, to mention just a few. Not long ago, the Information Highway was a new road, with not many users. Now, everyone seems to want to take a drive, with over 30 million families connected worldwide. Not surprisingly, this well-traveled highway is starting to look like a well-traveled highway. Traffic jams can cause many serious problems, forcing the system to close down for repair.

People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example,when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They are lear ning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘dog’, and dogs can learn how to talk ‘Cat’.What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets ─ to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.47. The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.A. earlyB. sweetlyC. quicklyD. smoothly48.

又pay是及物动词,如选主动式,则缺宾语。

3. C。

require sth. of / from sb. :要求某人给予……4. C。

though用于句末,作“但是”解。

5. A。

faraway:adj., 作定语用,far away:adv.,作状语用。

前后做不同的事,故用go on to do sth.7. D。
