When my sister, Faye, and I walk to school, we cover our mouths so we don’t breathe in the dirt. Mama says all the dust is due to the drought.Last Sunday, there was no dirt in the air, only bright spring sunshine and a clear blue sky. After church, Papa went to the field to check on the cattle while Mama started dinner. Faye and I played in the yard. Then the temperature suddenly dropped, and Mama shouted from the house, “Iris, you and Faye get inside, real quick now!”I looked to the west and saw a huge black cloud of dust. “Faye, go with Mama!” I shouted. “I will warn Papa.” Faye ran towa rd the house. The storm hit so fast that the day turned into night in an instant. Covering my face with one hand, I struggled my way toward our family car and got in. Papa was still out there! I needed to help him find the car. I turned on the front lights, but would Papa see them in the thick darkness? I pushed the horn(喇叭) again and again, hoping Papa would hear it.Suddenly, to my great surprise and relief, Papa’s face appeared at the window. He opened the door and climbed onto the seat next to me. Af ter Papa shut off the car’s lights, we huddled together in the darkness for hours. I worried the dirt would bury us.Finally, the wind subsided and the dust began to settle. We got out and reached the front porch just as Mama and Faye came out from the house.“I’m safe thanks to Iris,” Papa said. “The car’s horn led me to shelter.”“I’m so proud of you,” Mama said to me.Tears of joy streamed down my dirty cheeks because our family had survived the horrible storm.21. When the storm struck, Iris went to the car to_______.A. direct her papa to shelterB. turn to her papa for helpC. warn her papa of the stormD. pick up her papa in the field22. The underlined word “subsided” paragraph probably mean________.A. got upB. died downC. went onD. came along23. What is the best title for the text?A. Love for PapaB. Rescue on black SundayC. Drought in Oklahoma.D. Papa trapped in the stormBI’m not so sure I like my friends any more. I used to lik e them--to be honest. We’d have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange emails, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came Facebook, and I was introduced to a sad fact. Many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook. No longer hidden, they’re thrown in my face like TV commercials-unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you’d find him warm, and self-effacing(谦逊的). Read his Facebook and you’ll realize he’s an unbearable, food-obsessed boring man. He’d pause to have cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man-and then write about it.Take Andy. You won’t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he’s a CEO without a company to run. So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook. He’s doing well-level 731. Thanks to Facebook, I know he’s playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you’ve run four companies-and this is how you spend your downtime? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job?Take Liz. She is positive that the flu vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find, so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Facebook and once on Twitter.In real life, I don’t see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They’re nice, smart people. But face to Facebook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong.I’m left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine mad woman on Facebook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he’s at a party and the wine isn’t u p to his standards?24. What’s Andy probably busy in doing now?A. He’s running his company.B. He’s playing golf all day.C. He’s looking for another job.D. He’s playing computer games.25. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “________”.A. a dilemmaB. my real friendC. FacebookD. Twitter26. The text is developed mainly by________.A. giving examplesB. following the time orderC. listing figuresD. raising questionsCWriting articles about films for The Front Page was my first proper job. Before then I had done bits of reviewing novels for other newspapers, films for a magazine and anything I was asked to do for the radio. That was how I met Tom Seaton, the first arts editor of The Front Page, who had written for television. He employed me, but Tom was not primarily a reporter, or he would certainly have been more careful in choosing his staff.At first, his idea was that team of critics(评论家) should take care of the art forms that didn’t require specialized(专业的) knowledge: books, TV, theatre, film and radio. There would be a weekly lunch at which we would make our choices from the artistic material that Tom had decided we should cover though there would also be guests to make the atmosphere sociable.Tom’s original plan for team of critics for the arts never took off. It was a good idea, but we didn’t get together as planned and so everything was done by phone. It turned out, too, that the general public out there preferred to connect a reviewer with a single subject area, and so I chose film. Without Tom’s beginning push, though, we would hardly have come up with the present arrangement, by which I write a weekly piece, usually on one film.This way of working suits me well. I wouldn’t have been interested in the more standard film critic’s role, which includes considering every film that comes out. That’s a routine(惯例)that would make me bored in no time at all. The space I am given allows me to broaden my argument——or forces me, in an uninteresting week, to make something out of nothing. But what is my role in the public scene? I think that people should choose what films to go to on the basis of the stars, the publicity or the director. There is also such a thing as loyalty(忠诚) to “type” or its opposite. It can only rarely happen that someone who hates westerns buys a ticket for on after reading a review, or a love story addict avoids a romantic film because of what the papers say.So if a film review isn’t really a consumer guide, what is it? I certainly don’t feel I have a responsibility to “right” about a movie. Nor do think there should be a certain number of “great” and “bad” films each year. All I have to do is put forward an argument. I’m not a judge, and nor would I want to be. 27. What can we learn about Tom Senton from the first paragraph?A. He encouraged the author to become a writer.B. He had worked in various media.C. He met the author when working for television.D. He prefers to employ people that he knows.28. Why were the weekly lunches planned?A. To help the writers get to know each other.B. To carry out the work that had to be done.C. To provide an informal information meeting.D. To entertain important visitors from the arts.29. What can be i nferred from paragraph 4 about the author’s articles?A. They are seldom read by readers.B. They are more persuasive than expected.C. They are ignored by stars and film directors.D. They have little effect on public viewing habits.30. What does the author think of his work?A. He should distinguish good films from bad ones.B. He prefers to write about film is he likes.C. He can freely express his opinions.D. He writes according to accepted rules. 第二节(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。

People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. 36 However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog's life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. 37 They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.38 This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.39 People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite.Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. 40 .A. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.B. Still, people say every dog has its day.C. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs.D. Dogs are their best friends and they are loyal to people.E. There are many other expressions waiting for you to explore.F. Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways.G. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care三、短文改错(共10处语言错误,涉及一个单词的增加,删除和修改,每处1.5分)After watch “English TV” last Sunday morning, I phoned to my classmate and told him to go tosee a film in the afternoon.

I usually take “the wink(眨眼)” to mean “or at least that’s what she thinks, right?” It’s true that in two years I’ll be 18, and that will make me legally an adult. But it’s also just a number. It doesn’t come with a fantastic moment when you know all the adults are supposed to know what to do. It doesn’t make responsibilities easier. It just makes it legal for you to enter online sweepstakes(彩票)and work at Walmart.This thought all started back in July when my friend, Dakota, officially flew outof military basic training in Oklahoma. He’s 17. Not an adult by the legal definition, but making a very adult decision. He can’t rent a movie from most places, but he can defend our country. I didn’t realize how much his actual departure would affect me and the way I viewed growing up and when i t actually starts.My best friend Madeline is now studying psychology in London. She’s 18. She has been working pretty hard to get the perfect grades. Now, she’s living on her own, doing little things that make her, in my eyes, an adult, and is in complete control of her personal life. I have a basic idea of how a loan works, and apply for one like her? Forget it. I haven’t even had a credit card until now.My other friends are growing up around me, making decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. Where do I fit in? My life is so different form the standard; it’s hard to compare. I’m home-schooled. I’ve been a fashion blogger since I was 13, an occupation that has definitely taught me a lot first-hand about the outside world. Earlier this year, I got my first Teen V ogue feature(专栏)and worked with the Disney Channel. But if you add that up, it doesn’t equal an adult. It equals an accomplished teenager.I made myself a list of “Things to Learn Before I Grow Up”. Number one: Figure out the whole significant thing. Maybe learning to cook something rather than buying ready-made food from the supermarket. But it’s also important for me to enjoy being young. I like having sandwiches my mom made for me, and getting to just be silly sometimes without worry. So in conclusion, my point is this: Being a grown-up is less about your age, but more about what you do with your life.21.What does the author think of the age of 18?A.She can be responsible for herself.B. It is when she still doesn’t know things.C. It is legal for her to do online business.D. She still can’t do things like adults.22.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Her growing up.B. Dakota’s departure.C. Her defending the country.D. Dakota’s renting a movie.23.Why did the author mention Madeline?A.To explain the course of applying for a loan.B.To admire Madeline’s growing up.C.To stress the importance of a credit card.D.To praise Madeline for her hard work.24.What might be the bets title for the passage?A.I will be 18 in two years.B. I can’t learn like my friends.C. Will “18” make you an adult?D. I don’t want to grow up yet.BUS poet Allen Ginsberg once said, “poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind.”To recognize the unique ability of poetry to capture the human spirit, World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21 each year.The magic of poetry lies in the connection built up through words between the author and the reader. When we read a poem, we often imagine what the poet was thinking when they wrote it, or what they were doing at the time. These thoughts letus connect with the words better, as if we’d written the poem ourselves.But in the age of artificial intelligence(AI人工智能), would a poem still mean as much if it weren’t written by a human at all? Today, computers can create all kinds of texts, including research papers, books, news stories and even poems by using algorithms(算法).In 2013, Australian researcher Oscar Schwartz and his friend Benjamin Laird created a website called “bot or not”, where readers can read poems and guess whether they were written by a human or a computer. During a recent speech at TedX Sydney, Schwartz said that throughout the years, some of the website’s poems were able to fool 65 percent of human readers into thinking they were written by a human.By launching the website, Schwartz and Laird hoped that people would question the difference between humans and machines---and be able to identify what makes us human.Unstableness(易变性)is part of the answer. “The human [mind] is not a cold, hard fact,” Schwartz said during his TedX Sydney speech, “Rather, it is something that’s constructed with our opinions and something that changes over time.”A computer may be able to create poems that are correct in both grammar and style, but it wouldn’t be able to get the same meanings and emotions across a human poet could. In fact, current AI software creates poems based on ones that have already been written by humans. As Schwartz noted. “The computer works like a mirror that reflects any idea of a human that developers teach it.”So a new challenge arises: What kind of human mind do we want the computer to reflect back at us?Man vs machineTake a look at the two poems below. Can you guess which one was written by acomputer?Poem ADollars of sandIn my handWorth nothing moreThan Frisbee(飞盘)of man.Poem BBig, small seashells quietly fight a lively, sunny tuna(金枪鱼)Never command a sailorThe captain travels like a misty seashellAll whales view rough, clear wavesANSWER: Poem B was written by a computer.25.What’s the purpose of the first three paragraphs?A.To introduce the origin of World Poetry Day.B.To show the popularity of poetry around the world.C.To show the importance and beauty of poetry.D.To give some tips on appreciating poetry.26.What did the data from “bot or not” show?puters are better than humans at writing poetry.puters can also produce poems of high quality.C.Readers don’t really care whether the poems were written by humans.D.Few readers can tell poems written by computers from those by humans.27.According to Schwartz, what makes humans different from machines?A.We value emotions over facts.B. We have changing opinions.C, We are stable in what we do. D. We often make mistakes.28.Why can’t computers match humans in creating poems according to the article?A.They fail to use the correct grammar and style.B.They can’t create poems that make sense.C.They can’t express emotions as well as humans.D.They only know how to copy existing poems.三、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。

高一英语40分钟限时训练(4)(有答案)
高一英语40分钟限时训练(4)阅读理解A篇Although Americans are well known for getting down to business, Indians working in overseas teams, MNCs, and BPOs should know the importance of small talk. While Indians have a true interest in talking to Americans and getting to know them, they also hesitate to do so for some reasons. Americans engage in less personal small talk than Indians. And the topics and questions used in English vary widely based on language differences and cultural differences. Here are three things to keep in mind while you are trying to make small talk with your American clients and colleagues.Americans love to ask about, and then complain about the weather. They may talk about how the weather prevented them from having fun or how the weather supported their outdoor events. You can talk about the weather with them to begin a conversation. While talking, they always try to follow up on their answer by asking another open-ended question or make a statement, such as "Wow, that sounds like fun! " or "You went to St. Louis. In which state is that?" Be creative in your questions. Feel free to ask one or two, but not very personal ones about relations. Stick to the facts or events that were already referred to.Sometimes, some words used in India will totally confuse an American. For example, Americans use the word "weekend" instead of "holiday" for Saturdays and Sundays (non-working days) , and use the word " vacation" or " days off" instead of " out-of-station" .Always be interested, optimistic and happy. Talk with a smile! Vary the sound of your voice. Do not sound like a computer. If you are unsure how you sound, a good tip is to record yourself and listen to it later. Doing this helps you know how your voice sounds, and if you don't sound as you want to be heard, it may be time to work on enhancing your voice.1. For Indians, having small talk with American colleagues is ___________.A. boringB. uselessC. importantD. interesting2. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. What Americans like talking about in their daily life.B. How Americans usually start a conversation with others.C. Why talking about the weather is good to begin a conversation.D. What people can say when having small talk with Americans.3. What does the underlined word "enhancing" in the last paragraph mean?A. Lowering.B. Replacing.C. Improving.D. Examining.4. What’s the writer's purpose in writing the passage?A. To prove that having small talk is not very hard.B. To explain why Indians hesitate to talk with Americans.C. To show the differences between Americans and Indians.D. To tell how to make small talk with American clients and colleagues.B篇Consider yourself warned. Sunday is April Fools' Day, a day when you are encouraged to play tricks on loved ones and even the people you meet at the bus stop. It's a strange tradition, but how did it get started?Nobody is completely sure about the origin of this, the silliest of holidays. However, the urban legend experts at Snopes. com say that most experts owe it to Pope Gregory X Ⅲ, who, in the 1500s, gave the world the Gregorian calendar.In 1562, the Gregorian calendar moved the first day of the year from April l to January l. Word did eventually get around, but some people were a bit slow to hear the news. These folks continued celebrating the new year on April l, unaware that they were now three months behind the times. These "April fools" were tricked by those who knew it. The tradition eventually made its way to the US.And it's still going strong. Over the past week, Web searches on " April Fools' Day jokes" and " April Fools' Day tricks" have more than doubled, and related lookups for "easy April Fools' Day tricks" and "April Fools' Day jokes for work" have also increased greatly. Bottom line: Keep your guard up, especially if somebody offers you a word search puzzle. Lookups for "impossible April Fools' Day word searches" are up by 200%.But really, there is no way to be certain you'll escape trickery because even companies are out to trick you on April l. In 1957, the BBC reported Swiss farmers were harvesting spaghetti(意大利面) from trees. And in 1996, Taco Bell took out ads in major newspapers announcing that the company had purchased the Liberty Bell and renamed it the Taco Liberty Bell.5. What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A. To teach us how to avoid being tricked.B. To point out the best way to trick others.C. To introduce the history of April Fools' Day.D. To stress the importance of April Fools' Day.6. What can we know from Paragraph 3?A. April lst was once the first day of the year.B. April Fools' Day was set by Pope Gregory XⅢ.C. April Fools' Day has been celebrated for thousands of years.D. Started in the US, April Fools' Day is popular around the world.7. From the 4th paragraph, we can learn that_________.A. people enjoy being April FoolsB. April Fools' Day is still very popularC. those tricks used on April 1 are much the sameD. people like to celebrate April Fools' Day online8. The examples listed in the last paragraph are used to show_________.A. a modern farming technologyB. what newspapers without ads are likeC. how the Taco Liberty Bell got its nameD. how some companies trick the publicC篇Twelve years ago, Rachel Miller was lost when it came to her son John. The 7-year-old was seriously disabled because of his autism(自闭症). Unable to speak, he withdrew from people at school and, worse, from his family.In March 2003, Miller was introduced to Jeff Hancock, a one-on-one therapist(治疗师) for people with autism. Hancock was hired to be John's companion. The two would go people-watching at the mall on the weekend. Hancock chatted throughout their trips, even though John couldn't talk back.Their relationship developed when Hancock introduced John to the Special Olympics. Whenever John was running or being active, he was smiling.When John turned 12, Hancock introduced him to track at the Special Olympics. For the first three years, the pair just observed the sport by watching practices and events. Hancock worked daily with John, showing him everything, including where to sit, stand and walk, so he would understand the flow of the events.Eventually, the lessons clicked, and John was off doing 50-meter sprints. But as John got older, he got stronger and faster. At 16, he was jumping hurdles and doing 800-meter races. Miller started seeing her son as a serious athlete.In May 2014, John's training brought him to the Special Olympics State Summer Games in Orlando. The 18-year-old was competing in the 800 meters and the 110-meter hurdles.As the 800 was setting up, Miller remembered, she pressed her face against the fence, anxiously waiting for John to compete. But as soon as the race started, all Miller saw was an athlete, her athlete."I just wanted to see the best performance. It seemed much more significant than whether he would ever speak or respond to me," she said.John ended up winning the gold medal for the 800. Sports completely changed John, and Miller said that is because of Hancock. "A person with a disability can feel hopeless and isolated, and I think that can happen to parents, too. "9. The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.A. how Rachel Miller felt 12 years agoB. how serious John's autism wasC. John wasn't good at communicationD. when John became seriously disabled10. Miller considered John to be a serious athlete________.A. in 2011B. in 2012C. in 2013D. in 201411. When Miller saw John's performance in the 800, she felt________.A. curiousB. amazedC. delightedD. upset12. The passage is mainly carried out___________.A. by giving examplesB. in a sad toneC. in space orderD. in time orderD篇In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food(垃圾食品)later in their trip. In department stores, shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section; While the shop assistant is going back to fin d the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wine went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decision in the first few second upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the poll through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.13. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A. To save customers times.B. To show they are high quality foods.C. To help sell junk food.D. To sell them at discount prices.14. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?A. Opening the store early in the morning.B. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.C. Inviting customers to play music.D. Displaying British wines next to French ones.15. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show dishonest business practices.B. To introduces how businesses have grown from the past.C. To report researches on customer behavior.D. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.七选五The English language is a result of the invasions of the island of Britain over many hundreds of years. The invaders lived along the northern coast of Europe.16 The Angles were a German tribe who crossed the English Channel. Later two more groups crossed to Britain. They were the Saxons and the Jutes. Through many years, the Saxons, Angles and Jutes mixed their different languages. The result is what is called Anglo-Saxon or old English.The next great invasion of Britain came from the far north beginning about l100 years ago. People called Vikings came to the coastal areas of Britain. 17 Words like "sky", "leg" , "skull" , "egg" , "lift" and "take" are from the old languages of the far northern countries.The next invasion of Britain took place more than 900 years ago, in 1066. ___18__ William the Conqueror led it.The Normans were a French-speaking people from Normandy in the north of France. They became the new rulers of Britain. These new rulers spoke only French for several hundred years. It was the most important language in the world at that time. 19___ But the common people of Britain still spoke old English.Old English took many words from the Norman French. Some of these include "damage", "prison" and "marriage". The French language used by the Norman rulers greatly changed the way English was spoken by 800 years ago. 20 Middle English sounds like modern English. But it is very difficult to understand now. The history of the English language continues as Middle English becomes Modern English, which is spoken today.A. History experts call this invasion the Norman Conquest.B. It was the language of educated people.C. English became what language experts call Middle English.D. Therefore most common people speak the language.E. Few people spoke Middle English at that time.F. Many English words used today come from these ancient Vikings.G. The first invasions were by a people called Angles about l500 years ago.高一英语40分钟限时训练(4)答题纸班级:姓名:学号:分数:阅读理解(每小题5分,共75分)A篇:___________________ B篇:____________________ C篇:___________________ D篇:____________________ 七选五(每小题5分,共25分)_____________________高一英语40分钟限时训练(4)答案1-4 CDCD5-8 CABD9-12 BBCD13-15 CBD16-20 GFABC。

高一英语限时训练(1)I. 阅读理解AAI is short for artificial intelligence (人工智能).Scientists have been working to improve AI models, mainly by training the models on larger and larger collections of information. Those works are paying off. Quite powerful AI tools have surprised even their creators with what they can do.Some recent models can create music based on people’s choice of mood (气氛), style and length. Some can create realistic photos from a short-written description. Others can recreate anyone’s voice saying anything based on a voice recording just a few seconds long.But the AI tool that’s gotten the most attention recently is ChatGPT, created by the company OpenAI. ChatGPT is used to generate text (create writing). When asked a question, ChatGPT answers quickly in perfect sentences. It makes up stories and games, writes articles, programs computers, and much more. ChatGPT appears to be highly intelligent. But really, ChatGPT is simply guessing — based on its training information — which word is most likely to come next.Last month, OpenAI introduced a more powerful model, called GPT-4, which can create and explain jokes, and pass tests that are difficult for humans. The rapid progress and more general skills of recent AI models worry some people. Last week, many computer experts wrote an open letter calling for a six-month pause (暂停) for any work on AI tools stronger than GPT-4.The letter said AI companies were in a race to create “powerful digital(数字的) minds” that no one can “understand, predict (预测), or ...control”. The group behind the letter wants governments to develop laws to make sure Al tools are safe.Many AI experts express their views on the letter. Some say the letter makes today’s AI tools sound more intelligent than they really are. Others say it’s more important to worry about the real problems of AI tools at present rather than imaginary ones there might be in the future.Many companies are likely to keep developing powerful AI tools. But the letter has senta strong warning that many people will be thinking about carefully.1. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. Future possibilities of AI tools.B. Impressive abilities of AI tools.C. Serious problems with AI tools.D. Suggested improvements for AI tools.2. Why does the author mention GPT-4 in paragraph 4?A. To introduce a new AI model.B. To describe AI models’ future.C. To compare different AI models.D. To show AI models’ fast progress.3. For what purpose did many computer experts write an open letter?A. To explain the idea of AI.B. To speed the spread of Al.C. To slow down AI development.D. To predict the risk of AI research.4. What is many AI experts’ attitude to the letter according to paragraph 6?A. Carefree.B. Favorable.C. Uncertain.D. UnsupportiveBEmperor penguins (帝企鹅) live on the faraway and very cold Antarctic coasts. Because of the hard conditions of emperor penguins’ natural home, some groups are unreachable for humans, making these birds hard to study.Satellites (machines that have been sent into space and go around the Earth) have come to help penguin researchers search Antarctic coasts for penguin groups. Recently, satellite imagery (影像) has shown a new penguin group. It’s small, but can be seen from space.Peter Fretwell, a scientist at the British Antarctic Survey, was looking for melting (融化的) sea ice when he saw a new penguin group. The new group is relatively small. It has only about 1,000 adult penguins, or 500 breeding pairs. But, as one of only 66 emperor penguin groups now known to researchers, it was an important addition. This group, like all the others discovered by satellite, could be seen from space because penguin waste builds up near groups and makes the snow dark brown.After Fretwell’s team saw the dark brown snow, they confirmed (确认) their discovery with satellite imagery. The penguins, seen as small round marks in the imagery, could be seen in pictures taken by the Maxar WorldView-3 satellite, which can find objects less than a foot long. The Maxar WorldView-3 imagery is what researchers used to decide that the group had a population of about 1,000 penguins.Philip Trathan, another scientist at the British Antarctic Survey, said, “Although we’ve found more than 60 groups, the grounds are all in the places where recent studies suggest emperor penguins will decline. Birds in these grounds are probably at risk — we need to watch these grounds carefully as climate (气候) change will have an influence on this area.”The finding of this new group is promising news for the future of penguins. With climate change and other human influences on their environment, it’s encouraging to know that there are still places where penguins can grow or develop well. These pictures give us hope that if we work to protect penguins’ homes, they will continue to be a part of our planet for years to come.5.What problem have researchers been facing when studying emperor penguins?A. Some of their groups are out of reach.B. Their natural home is too large to explore.C. Satellites cannot find groups that are small.D. Satellite imagery cannot show their numbers clearly.6. Which of the following played a key role in confirming the new penguin group?A. The penguin waste.B. The melting sea ice.C. The marks the penguins have.D. The snow the penguins built up.7. What might the underlined word “decline” in paragraph 5 mean?A. Show up.B. Become fewer.C. Develop better.D. Come together:8. How does the author sound in the last paragraph?A. Curious.B. Worried.C. Hopeful.D. HumorousII. 7选5阅读While it’s important for adults to understand how to manage their money, it’s also helpful to teach their children about making smart choices with money. This can help them avoid money problems in the future.Ellen Sabin is the author (作者) of “The Nickels, Dimes, and Dollars Book: A Wise Kid’s Guide to Money Matters”. 1 .Behavioral researchers at Cambridge University say that parents should start teaching their kids about money as young as three years old. 2 . Children in this age group often ask questions about money, which can be a great opportunity (机会) for parents to help them understand money choices and the importance of money in life.Parents can start talking to their kids about money to help them understand why it’s important. “Kids may not think about saving for college, so parents can encourage them to pretend (假装) they are an adult and make decisions between ‘wants’ and ‘needs’. 3 ,” Sabin recommends.Another way parents can help their children learn about the importance of money is by using a “show-and tell” method. 4 . Parents can use the chance to show their kids how to make wise decisions within a certain budget (预算). Sabin says by doing this, parents can help their kids feel good about money and become comfortable with it.5 . Sabin notes that kids enjoy running their own businesses, such as lemonade stands, which shows they value making money. This can help children understand the importance of hard work and the value of money.A. Parents don’t really know how to talk about these topicsB. Kids are always curious about where money comes fromC. She hopes children can learn the basics of money at a young ageD. For example, money can be discussed while having meals or shoppingE. This can help children learn how to make responsible spending choicesF. Parents can also encourage their children to make money through workG. However, Sabin’s book recommends ages 6-11 as the best time for making kids dollar-wiseIII. 完形填空Ever since he was 6 years old, Josiah Colton has wanted to save the Earth.Now 10, the fifth-grader has already started a 1 .

2023-2024学年高一下学期英语限时训练-8
高一英语限时训练(8)I. 阅读理解AKirsten Coates knows what it’s like to spend a lot of time mowing her lawn(修剪草坪).So she made her lawn smaller to make way for 30 trees. The idea was to have more plants and animals around her house and to reduce harmful gases.You don’t have to look far to find Australians who love taking care of their grass and enjoying the sensation of it under their feet. It’s a point of pride for many neighbourhoods, and some local governments even hold competitions for “best lawn”.All the same, Ms Coates is not the only one trying to reduce the hold the lawn and the lawnmower have on our gardens and cultural life.Community and local government group Gardens for Wildlife encourages landowners to reshape their land to better co-exist with native plants and animals.Howard Bridgman, an honorary professor in environmental science at the University of Newcastle, says people like Ms Coates have the right idea. “Gas-driven lawnmowers contribute to the emission (排放) of pollutants, although the effect is relatively small. In recent times, electric mowers have become increasingly popular, greatly reducing emissions. However, it’s important to note that they can still create dust particles (尘粒) that may lead to breathing problems,” Howard said.His advice is to reduce lawn size and use an electric mower — and not too often.But for Suzie Shearer, director of Coolabah Turf in Echuca, the lawn is connected with healthy living.“I cannot imagine living in a world without green space,” Suzie said. “Lawns are also a great way to get kids to spend less time on screens and more time outdoors.”Even so, she has no regrets about the lawn she’s removed.“My bird population has greatly increased. It has given me more chances to see birds and reduced the stress of keeping the lawn alive during dry periods. It’s a win-win situation,” she said.1. Why do many Australian neighbourhoods like keeping lawns?A. Lawns bring the communities together.B. Lawns are spaces where kids can play.C. Lawns symbolize wealth to them.D. Lawns bring them a sense of pride.2. What does Howard think of mowing the lawn?A. It costs a lot of money.B. It takes too much time.C. It harms our environment and health.D. It calls for more advanced lawnmowers.3. How does Suzie feel about removing part of her lawn?A. Bored.B. Satisfied.C. Regretful.D. Worried.4. What is the best title for the text?A. Mowing lawns less oftenB. Lose the lawn, or just reduce it?C. Healthy lawn, healthy environmentD. Reducing lawns for a greener worldBDisagreements have arisen in Northern France after many ancient standing stones were damaged to make way for a new hardware chain (五金连锁店).About 39 stones, dating back at least 7,000 years, were removed from the site, which sits on one of Europe’s most famous prehistoric attractions, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported. “The site has been damaged,” local archaeologist Christian Obeltz told AFP.Carnac, often described as “French Stonehenge”, is famous for its spreading fields of large tall stones. The stones are arranged in long, straight lines and, according to the Carnac Tourist Office, it is the largest collection of this type of standing stone in the world. The two main sites alone, at Menec and Kermario, house nearly 3,000 standing monuments (历史遗迹) covering over 4 miles.The purpose of this ancient curiosity is still unknown. Many believe it may have had something to do with religion (宗教), while others think it could have served as a farming calendar. One idea even suggests that the stones are connected to a sad event that happened to a Roman army.The Regional Office of Cultural Affairs for Brittany, which is responsible for protecting the cultural monument, made a statement on disagreements over building the store on Wednesday, “Given the uncertain and non-major character of the remains, damage to a site of historical value has not been established,” the statement said. However, Obeltz mentioned that there hasn’t been enough research in the area to decide whether the stones were historically important.News of building the store has caused a storm of angry comments on social media, with many expressing their thoughts on the loss of the ancient stones. “Poor Carnac! The commodification (商品化) of the world prepares the man without memories,” said Philippe de Villiers, France’s former Secretary of State for Culture.“In Carnac, 39 standing stone monuments survived Julius Caesar, World War I and World War II. But not Mr. DIY!” the Twitter account Dom Revolution wrote.5. What happened to the 39 stones?A. They were sold to a store.B. They were moved away.C. They were worn with time.D. They were used to build a building.6. What makes Carnac stand out as a site of stone monuments?A. Its large size.B. Its unique shape.C. Its long rich history.D. Its connection with an army.7. What may the Regional Office agree with?A. The site should have been studied more.B. The site needs government protection.C. The site is not very well-known.D. The site has low historical value.8. Why does the author mention opinions on the Internet?A. To share people’s last memories of Carnac.B. To show public anger at Carnac’s situation.C. To stress the importance of protecting Carnac.D. To give more information about Carnac’s history.II. 7选5阅读Looking for something to do while waiting for the bus? 1At 20 stops across Boston until August, you can check out digital books from the library using your smartphone.

MBTA General Manager Phillip. Eng said MBTA will continue to look for ways to improve riders’ experience. 4 Boston Public Library President David Leonard said that they share the value that knowledge and transportation could both be free to all. He stressed the importance of connecting public library services with public transportation: 5 To serve people better, the library has chosen to focus on titles that are easy to enjoy on the bus.So, the next time you find yourself waiting for the bus, take the chance to enjoy a good book from the library.A.

2024高一英语限时训练
高一英语限时训练Feb.25,2024第一节阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
(共12小题;每小题3分,满分36分)ACats and many other animals can reflect light from their eyes.That’s why their eyes will usually shine brightly in photos taken in a less bright room.Some species can see better in low light because they either hunt for food or need to look out for enemies throughout the night,or at the early morning and late afternoon.In fact,domesticated(家养的)cats can see in conditions that are only16%as bright as what people require.Cats achieve this because their pupils(瞳孔)are special.Pupils operate like windows,with bigger ones letting more light into the eye.And a cat’s pupils can become up to 50%larger than human pupils in weak light.They also have a higher number of a specific type of light-sensing cell in the back of their eyes than we do.These cells,called rods,catch low-level light.What’s more,cats have something people don’t:a tapetum lucidum,or eyeshine,which is behind the retina(视网膜),receiving light,changing the light to an electrical signal and sending this signal to the brain to form the image.A cat’s tapetum lucidum reflect light back to the retina, which gives the retina a second chance to absorb more light.Unfortunately,animals with a tapetum lucidum give up some visual quality for their ability to see in weak light.That’s because bright light reflecting off he tapetum lucidum can make what they see a little more unclear.So,a cat needs to be seven times closer to an object to see it as sharply as a person would in a brightly lit place.But don’t worry,I’m sure your cat would rather see clearly at night than read a book.1.In photos taken in dark rooms,we find cats’eyes shining brightly mainly because________.A.their eyes can send light like a car's headlightsB.they need to fight enemies with lights in the darkC.they have the habit of hunting for food at nightD.they have the ability to reflect light from their eyes2.According to the text,which of the following helps cats catch low-level light?A.Pupils.B.Rods.C.Retinas.D.Tapetum lucidums.3How does the author illustrate his viewpoint?A.By analyzing causes.B.By providing examples.C.By explaining a concept.D.By drawing comparisons.4.Which of the following is the inconvenience atapetum lucidum brings to cats?A.Failing to approach the goal.B.Missing the chance of reading.C.Seeing clearly in the bright light.D.Losing some visual quality.BI often wondered what it would be like to have cancer.I didn’t expect to find out,though,at last not for decades.I have always been healthy and strong;I regularly do hot yoga and swim two kilometers in a bay near my home in Sydney.But now I know:it felt as if I was carrying a baby.Tumors(肿瘤)that silently grew inside me suddenly became bigger one weekend.Then,one Saturday in June,I was struck with sharp pain and ended up in the hospital.My doctor said it might be very serious.I spent two weeks waiting for the operation,not knowing if I’d live to the end of the year.In the days before the operation,I turned off my phone and computer.I prayed so hard that I grew unnaturally calm.The operation lasted five hours.The mass was fully removed,but it was unexpectedly complicated.I was in special care for eight days,in the wires,machines,with pipes in my lungs and liver.Luckily,the operation was very successful and I am slowly growing stronger.I am walking upright again and waking without great pain.I can now drive,and am preparing to return to work. My prognosis(预后)is good,but I will need to live with the fear of return.Everyone suddenly seems consumed with foolish worries.I have a different idea about the complaints posted by some Internet users who had the flu,were upset by the upcoming exams or burdened by work.I want to scream:BUT YOU ARE ALIVE!Alive!Each day is a gift,especially if you are upright and able to move with ease,without pain.I’m still struggling with what all of this means.But in this short time,a truth became even clearer to me.We should not have to move to the woods like Henry David Thoreau to“live meaningfully”. It would be impossible and frankly tiring to live each day as if it were your last.My doctor asked me a few days ago how I became so calm before the operation.I told her:I prayed;I locked out negativity and drew my family and friends near;I tried to live meaningfully.She said,“Actually you should do that for the rest of your life.”5.What did the author think of her physical state before being diagnosed(诊断)with cancer?A.She knew tumors silently grew inside her.B.She exercised regularly but felt bad sometimes.C.She thought there was nothing wrong with her health.D.She was considered to be healthy by the doctor.6.Which one is not the so-called“foolish worries”according to the author in Paragraph9?A.Loss of both legs.B.Suffering from the flu.C.Burden of heavy workloads.D.Fear of the monthly exams.7.Which of the following can best describe the author?A.Kind and outgoing.B.Cautious and brave.C.Confident and generous.D.Positive and reflective.8.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To share a pleasant experience.B.To recommend a healthy lifestyle.C.To call on people to live a worthy life.D.To try hard to make a difference to the world.C“Demographics are our fate”,which suggests much of the future is determined by the very simple trend lines of populations.Of course,demographics can’t spot pandemics or other crises. But as shocking as they feel at the moment,such events are rare.One aspect of the future that demographics can’t help predict are technological discoveries.But even technological discoveries have a slower impact on the daily life than we sometimes perceive.Peter Thiel famously said in 2013,“We wanted flying cars.Instead,we got nothing but140characters.”So what comes next?If you woke up20years from now in2042,what would be different? Here are some ideas based on numbers that don’t require a crystal ball.About70percent of the world population is expected to live in urban areas by2050,according to data from the United Nations.That means most cities are going to need more improvements.Roads,public transportation and waste management will need large-scale expansion and upgrades.The averageperson produces4.9pounds of waste a day,up from3.66pounds in1980.But here’s a trend going in the other direction as a result of technology:Paper and paperboard declined from87.7million tons in2000to67.4million tons in2018,according to the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency.And we’ll be older.In the United States,we’re likely to live until82.4years old,compared with79.1years old today,the United Nations predicts.That’s a good thing for health care companies and others that satisfy the needs of older people.But living three extra years is going to be more expensive,which will have an influence on both working and saving.Businesspersons,industry leaders and policymakers are already at work solving some of the problems that demographic data suggest are ahead of us.They are trying to figure out how to inspire farmers to sequester carbon and use green machines to reduce the energy consumption.What about the metaverse?Or robots taking our jobs?Or AI taking over everything? Demographics can’t answer those questions.All of those things may happen,but life in2042may also look a lot like it does today maybe with the exception of those flying cars.9.How does the author understand“Demographics are our fate.”in Paragraph1?A.The trend lines of populations can decide the future of the world.B.Demographics can’t determine all the things in the future.C.Demographics can help recognize pandemics or other rises in the future.D.Demographics can decide how quickly we make new technological discoveries.10.In2042,which of the following is least likely to happen according to the prediction?A.Much more paper will be produced.B.The environment will be polluted seriously.C.People will produce much more waste than before.D.Urban areas are going to need more improvements.11.The underlined word“sequester”in Paragraph4can be replaced by________.A.increaseB.avoidC.generateD.encounter12.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Are flying cars popular in20years?B.What is the fate of the car industry?C.What will the world be like in20years?D.What effect do the Demographics have?第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)How to Focus on StudyingUnless you have a strong desire to learn the information or develop a skill,it can be hard to focus all of your attention.Here are some of the best tricks that help you increase your focus on studying.____13____Chose a right spot.And,in order to concentrate,you must remove the things distracting(分心)you.Put away mobile devices.Turn off the TV.Sit away from people making loud noises.Come prepared.____14____Have pens,paper,textbooks or anything necessary at hand.You should take care of everything outside of studying before you sit down to focus.If not,you’ll just end up getting up repeatedly.Make a schedule.Aim to work for30—60minute periods with5—10minute breaks in between.It is a lot easier to push yourself for a set period of time,if you know you have a break coming up.____15____Studying the same thing for too long is an invitation to boredom(枯燥).Make lists and break down tasks.Write down your study goals for that day.Make sure the task is within your ability.It works for any task like reading a book,studying for a test,or whatever.And if you need to write10pages in a week,schedule yourself to write2pages a dayfor5days.____16____Vary your study techniques____17____Variety will keep you interested in your studies and make your time more efficient.By studying with different techniques,your brain will process the information differently,thus increasing the chance of keeping the information.A.Find a suitable place.B.Get rid of distractions.C.Break the task into manageable parts.D.Don’t limit yourself to one study method.E.Be sure to have all the materials needed to workF.Set a schedule to make full use of your study time.G.Besides,schedule yourself to study different subjects.第三部分完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)Nowadays,media and information coming so quickly on the Internet,kids are used to getting things in quick ways,but refuse to read a book.I remember the wonderful____18____when I realized my6-year-old niece could read.One weekend,it was bedtime and we were reading Make Way for Ducklings.She____19____a few words.I was____20____to see that she was enjoying reading.Two years later she moved in with me.Our bedtimes were filled with various stories.Now she is11.However,she is more interested in Tik Tok than in any of the stories.And____21____she certainly can read,she really doesn’t like to unless I threaten to____22____her iPad.As an educator and writer,this is____23____for me.To my regret,reading has become a ____24____in my family.“Don’t worry too much,”educational consultant Waldinger____25____me when I called to discuss my pain.“As digital natives,our children simply have a____26____relationship with the written word from that of us who came from the typewriter____27____”,suggested Waldinger “Kids do lots of incidental(伴随的)____28____,”she told me.“Playing video games and watching a movie like Frozen with closed captions(字幕)are reading.And so is using a(n)____29____to make cookies.”She said,“You just can’t expect kids to sit down and____30____the encyclopedia(百科全书)like we did back in the day.Accept the fact,stop____31____over reading,and just give children more____32____to read,whether digital or printed.”18.A.schedule bination C.moment ment19.A.sounded B.spelt C.exchanged D.spread20.A.sorry B.delighted C.fortunate D.upset21.A.because B.while C.if D.until22.A.operate B.program C.remove D.negate23.A.pleasant B.beneficial C.distant D.painful24.A.routine B.property C.vitality D.disagreementforted B.favored C.blamed D.depressed26.A.tolerant B.different C.ideal D.precise27.A.era B.region C.mass D.volume28.A.cooking B.setting C.calling D.reading29.A.electricity B.onion C.recipe D.pan30.A.looked up B.dug up C.built up D.picked31.A.getting B.fighting C.taking D.falling32.A.encouragement B.expectation C.arrangement D.version。

Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it. Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world. Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO 2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution. The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean.

高一英语10月27日(周五)限时训练一、阅读理解AMy first piece of advice to people who want to start getting fit is: don't buy exercise bikes.People who buy them usually use them for a week or so and then forget about them. The bikes are useful if they are often used but you need to be determined. Most people will find it much easier to go for a jog (慢跑) around the park.As well as being easy to do, jogging is also quite cheap compared to most other sports. You don't need to buy expensive clothes if you're just going running around the park or on the beach.There is one thing, however, that you will have to spend money on, and that's your running shoes.Remember that you are looking for something that will support your feet and protect you from injury.They can be expensive, but if they are of good quality, they will last you a long time.As for jogging, the secret is to start slowly,and not to do too much at the beginning —especially if you haven't had any exercise for a long time. Try a mixture of walking and running for ten minutes about three times a week at first. Once you are happy to do that, you can then start to increase the amount you do gradually. After a few months you should hope to be able to run at a reasonable speed for twenty minutes three or four times a week.It's important that you feel comfortable with whatever you do. If you do, you'll start to enjoy it and will probably keep doing it. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, you'll probably stop after a short time and return to your bad habits.Remember that training too hard is not very effective. Research has shown that somebody who exercises twice as long or twice as hard as another person doesn't become twice as fit.1. What is the author's opinion on the exercise bike?A. It is a waste for most people.B. It is a helper for most people.C. It is unaffordable for most people.D. It is easy to learn for most people.2. According to the author, what is very important to a jogger?A. Listening to expert advice.B. Keeping on jogging every day.C. Having a pair of good jogging shoes.D. Running for twenty minutes each time.3. What does the author mainly explain in Paragraph 3?A. Why it is easy to go for a jog.B. What kind of sport jogging is.C. How to go jogging in a right way.D. When is the best time to go for a jog.4. What do we know from the last paragraph?A. Good exercise stops bad habits.B. A partner helps a lot in exercise.C. Feeling good keeps one's exercise going.D. The more you exercise, the fitter you will be.BReading can be asocial activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website book crossing. com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share.BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pedersen, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, "The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both."Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops.Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it.E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pedersen says the idea is for people not to be self ish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the real but not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has nearly two million members and has more than thirteen million books traveling.5.Why does the author mention book groups in Paragraph 1?A. To explain what they are.B. To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.6.What does the underlined word it in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The book.B. An adventure.C. A public place.D. The identification number.7.What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discuss it.B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D. Mail it back to its owner.8.What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: A Virtual TourB. Electronic Books:A New TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People Through Books二、阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

I couldn't believe how many people passed by without even caring at all.I thought,“I'm not going to be one of those people who don't care about this man.

If I explained what happened, I was sure my boss wouldn't mind too much. So, I helped him pick them all up. Then I asked if he would like a hand in carrying a box to where he went. He said yes gratefully.I carried one of the heavy boxes. The box I had to carry was very heavy -as I'm quite a petite (娇小的) girl but I didn't complain.

Choose an out-of-state friend or relative that the family members can call after the quake to report where they are and how they are. Know the safe places in each room: under the strong tables,desks, or against inside walls. Keep enough food, water and other things, including a flashlight, a radio, medicines and clothing.During the earthquake, you should keep a clear head and never be too nervous to know what to do. Protect your head and neck with your arms. If possible, take a book, a pillow or any other things to protect yourself from falling glass and ruins. If you are indoors, you must immediately lie under any strong furniture. If outdoors, move to an open area away from trees, buildings, walls and powerpoles. If you are in a narrow valley, move to the centre of it and look up for falling stones. If you are in a car, move to the side of the road and stop the car. Do not stop near buildings, power lines or on or under bridges. Stay in your car until the shaking stops.Do not move a badly injured person unless he is in great danger after the earthquake. Do not use the telephone immediately unless there is a serious injury or fire. Turn on your radio for instructions and news reports. Be prepared for aftershocks.

No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of the ir car the night before. “We’re moving house.” “No space for her any more with the baby coming.” “We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present.” People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner’s. But eventually at the end of thefirst week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.That’s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. “We didn’t know what had happened to her,”said the woman at the door. “I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared.” “She must have tried to come back to them and got lost,” added a boy from behind her.I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I’ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.14.How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?A.Shocked. B.Sympathetic. C.Annoyed. D.Upset.6.In her first few days at the author’s house, Goldie ________.A.felt worried B.was angry C.ate a little D.sat by the fire15.Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she ________ .A. saw her puppiesB. heard familiar barkingsC. wanted to leave the authorD. found her way to her old home8.The passage is organized in order of ________ .A.time B.effectiveness C.importance D.complexityⅢ.短文改错I’m very sorry to have missed the first two lesson this morning. I got up early as usually in the morning, but when I was ready to leave I find my bicycle’s front tyre flat. I wanted to take bus or taxi to school, and I didn’t have any money with me. I had to look for a place along the street to get my bicycle repairing. Unluckily, there were not any bicycle repair shops was open in the early morning. So I had to walk to school, carrying my bicycle all the way. That’s how I was late for school. Please don’t worry with my lessons, Mr. Li.
