It has positive effects on me. I’m healthy, and there’s nothing wrong with me,”said Sarah Green, a freshman, who consumes many caffeine drinks to stay awake in completing the many tasks in her busy schedule.Caffeine is known to have many positive and negative consequences, and now there might be an additional positive effect may have been discovered. A study suggests that a skin lotion(洗液) containing caffeine, which is also found in green tea, may reduce the riskof skin cancer. Two lotion tests were conducted on hairless mice that were exposed to high levels of ultraviolet radiation (紫外线). As a result, the lotion reduced the number of tumors (肿瘤) each mouse developed.Unlike sunscreen (遮光剂), the new lotion is applied after exposure to the ultraviolet rays. Rays from the sun can cause genetic changes in the skin that can lead to skin cancer. Caffeine obstructs this action and causes the diseased cells to kill themselves.“I know that caffeine has been found in certain drinks and it causes increased activity of the nervous system, and increased blood pressure on blood vessels (血管). I don’t know of any positive effects of caffeine,”health teacher Montego Estes said. Caffeine, found commonly in tea, coffee and soft drinks, provides people with an increase in energy. Half of all American adults consume more than 300 milligrams of caffeine per day. Caffeine is addictive because it uses the same mechanisms as amphetamines, and cocaine and heroine to ex cite the brain.“This new cream doesn’t sound to me as though it would work,”junior David Bobbit said, “Caffeine seems to have more negative effects than positive ones.”Skin cancer is the most common of all cancers in the US. About one million cases will be diagnosed in the country this year. There will be more than 88,000 new cases of melanoma, the disease’sdeadliest form of skin cancer.1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Many Americans like Sarah Green enjoy drinking caffeine.B. Hairless mice are not easily harmed by ultraviolet radiation.C. Research shows caffeine may reduce the risk of skin cancer.D. Americans suffer most from skin cancer among all cancers.2.

It has been used by more than 100 million people. In December, the school announced it also would begin offering a special certificate, known as MITx, for people who complete certain online courses. Harvard has long offered courses to a wider population througha similar program.The MITx will serve as the foundation for the new learning platform.MIT President Susan Hockfield said more than 120,000 people signed up for the first MITx course. She said Harvard and MIT hope other universities will join them in offering courses on the open-source edX platform.“Fasten your seatbelts,” Hockfield said.Other universities, including Stanford, Yale and Carnegie-Mellon, have been experimenting with teaching to a global population online.The Harvard-MIT program will be monitored by a not-for-profit(非盈利的)organization based in Cambridge, to be owned equally by the two universities.Both MIT and Harvard have provided $30 million to start the program. They also plan to use the edX platform to research how students learn and which teaching methods and tools are most successful.（1）According to this text, edX is .A.a part of the free MIT OpenCourseWareB.a free computer program by MIT and HarvardC.a Harvard-MIT platform of free online coursesD.a free program online for universities worldwide（2）What is said about online education in the text?A.Universities have been trying online courses.B.About 2,000 online courses have been offered.C.Over 100 million people have finished courses online.D.Stanford and Yale together have courses similar to edX.（3）The underlined part in the text probably means“”.A.Get ready for the difficultiesB.Get ready for this educational changeC.Get prepared to complete the online coursesD.Get prepared to make materials for the edX courses（4）What can be said about MITx according to the text?A.It is first offered as part of the edX learning program.B.It is another free MIT-Harvard online learning program.C.It is a standard to recognize online learners’ achievement.D.It is a new kind of free online course of Harvard and MIT.B3.Easter(复活节)is still a great day for worship,candy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs,but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies.And no,not because the kids like to pull their ears.The culprit is climate change,and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US.Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit, for instance.An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys,this species of cottontail is a great swimmer—it lives on the islands!—but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising sea levels.According to the Center for Biological Diversity,an ocean level rise of only 0.6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground anda 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat(栖息地)completely.The snowshoe hare,on the other hand,has a color issue.Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer,each designed to give them better cover from predators(捕食者).As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country,however,more and more bunnies are being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring,making them an easier mark for predators.Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight,but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question.The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down.American pikas or rock rabbits,a relative of rabbits and hares,might be the first of these species to go extinct due to climate change.About 7-8 inches long,pikas live high in the cool,damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains.As global temperatures rise,they would naturally migrate(迁移)to higher ground—but they already occupy the mountaintops.They can’t go any higher.The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat heats up.The volcano rabbit has the same problem.These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico,and recent studies have shown that the lower range of theirhabitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters,but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher,so they are stuck in the middle. Scientists are concerned about their populations.Native to the US,pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West.They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world.Their habitats have been destroyed by development.Several populations,such as the Columbia Basin pygmy,almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs.Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators,but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed.All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter.（1）The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to .A.show the importance of Easter DayB.introduce the issue about bunniesC.remind people of Easter traditionsD.discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies（2）The word “culprit”(Paragraph 2)is closest in meaning to .A.criminalB.judgeC.victimD.producer（3）According to the passage,some rabbits can now be easily discovered by predators because they .A.are exposed to more skillful huntersB.have moved to habitats with fewer plantsC.haven’t adapted themselves to climate changeD.can’t change their fur color into white in the fall and the spring（4）The problem faced by volcano rabbits and rock rabbits is that .A.both are affected by less snowB.both are affected by rising sea levelsC.neither can find enough foodD.neither can migrate to higher places（5）Which best describes the writer’s tone in the passage?A.Approving.B.Concerned.C.Enthusiastic.D.Doubtful.4.短文改错Will our parents check our homework? Not really. Since having already growing up, we can't act like little baby and rely on our parents all the time.When I was in Grade Three, my parents asked us to check my homework by myself.I don't know what to do in that time, so I cried. After that, I got used to correctmy own homework and became more independent.Check homework by ourselves is very good habit. It can not only help us find mistakes in exams more easy but also let our parents worry less about our studies.Because parents will leave us some day, so we should learn to do everything by ourselves.5.假定你是李华。

He likes driving his car.A. mustB. canC. mayD. need2,In 1909 an English newspaper offered ￡1,000 to the first man to fly across the English Channel(海峡) in an airplane. Today, modern aircrafts cross it in minutes. But at that time it still seemed a good distance. The race to win the money soon became a race between two men. Both were very colorful.One was Louis Bleriot. He owned a factory in France that made motor car lamps. He was already well known as a pilot because he had had accidents several times. Some people laughed at him. One man said, “He may not be the first to fly across the Channel but he will certainly be the first to die in an accident!”But Bleriot was really a good and brave pilot. He also had many good ideas about airplane design.The other man was Hubert Latham. He was half French and half English. He took up flying when his doctors told him he had only a year to live. “Oh, well,” he said, “if I’m going to die soon, I think I shall have a dangerous and interesting life now.”Latham was the first to try the flight across the Channel. Ten kilometersfrom the French coast, his plane had some trouble. It fell down into the water and began to sink under the water. A boat reached Latham just in time. He was sitting calmly on the wing and was coolly lighting a cigarette. Bleriot took off six days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very low cloud. He somehow got to the English side and landed in a farmer’s field. When he did so, a customs(海关) officer rushed up to his plane. Planes have changed since then, but customs officers have not, “Have you anything to declare?” The officer demanded.1.Bleriot was well known as a pilot because _____.A. he was unusually braveB. he was quite richC. he had many good ideas about airplane designD. he had had a few accidents2 .he flight for Bleriot was _____.A. a sad oneB. a dangerous oneC. his first oneD. an easy one3.Hubert Latham wanted to fly across the Channel because _____.A. he thought he could manage it easilyB. he wanted to be the first one to cross the ChannelC. he knew he only had a year to liveD. he had always been interested in flying4 .his text tells us that Latham _____.A. became a pilot on the doctor’s adviceB. was born in France and later became an English citizenC. managed to fly across the English ChannelD. was saved by a boat when his plane was sinking3,Tom and I had each a bedroom, and a third room ____ as our study.A. in commonB. in common withC. out of the commonD. by common4,-I don’t know what I _______ without the suitcase you lent me． -Glad to have been of some help to you．A. would have doneB. would doC. should have doneD. should do5,The first time she went swimming, she felt very _____.A. nervousB. shockedC. unpleasantD. surprised6, A proven method of effective textbook reading is the SQ3R method developed by Francis Robinson. The first step is to survey (the S step) the chapter by reading the title, introduction, section headings, summary and by studying any graphs, tables illustrations or charts. The purpose for this step is to get an overview of the chapter so that you will know before you read what it will be about. In the second step (the Q step), for each section you ask yourself questions such as “What do I already know about this topic?” and “What do I want to know?” In this step you alsotake the section heading and turn it into a question. This step gives you a purpose for reading the section. The third step (the first of the 3R’s) is to read to find the answer to your questions. Then at the end of each section, before going on to the next section, you recite (the second of the 3R’s) the answers to the questions that you formed in the question step. When you recite you should say the information you want to learn out loud in your own words. The fifth step is done after you have completed steps 2,3, and 4 for each section. You review (the last of the 3R's) the entire chapter. The review is done much as the survey was in the first step. As you review, hold a mental conversation with yourself as you recite the information you selected as important to learn. The mental conversation could take the form of asking and answering the questions formed from the headings or reading the summary, which lists the main ideas in the chapter, and trying to fill in the details for each main ideA．1.

2023届高考英语考前每日拔高练 第7练——阅读理解【配套新教材】
2023届高考英语考前每日拔高练第7练【配套新教材】When I was a child, my grandmother often said interpersonal communication mattered. She backed that up with her own behavior, and she invested her time and energy in interacting with people. When she walked down the street, she spoke to everyone, whether an elderly or a child, speaking whether English or Spanish.However, as she aged, she noticed that most people wouldn't have time for communication that's longer than a 160-character text message, much less time to develop genuine friendships that last decades. In fact, people are barely speaking to one another nowadays. As much as I hate to admit it, I have noticed it too.My grandmother opened my mind to having a pen pal on the other side of the world. It all started in 2013 when I was at University of Southern California. I met with Kerstin Zilm, a German radio personality who wanted to interview me about being a student struggling financially. I didn't know much about German culture or the German audience who would listen to the show, but I agreed to do so. I had internalized(使内在化) my grandmother's concept and I felt this was another way of communication and that speaking about my story was better than keeping it to myself. You never knew who could learn from your life experiences.After the story aired, a woman named Renate reached out to Kerstin, inquiring how she could find me and help me financially with college. I was grateful, but my pride didn't allow me to accept the money.thanking her for her kindness. This was the beginning of a beautiful intercontinental friend-ship. From then on, Renate and I often emailed each other. And whenever I was in trouble, she was always there. She sent me virtual hugs at the moments when I needed them most. Though I have never met her in person, she is one of the most important people in my life.1.What do we know about the author's grandmother?A. She made lots of foreign friends.B. She valued family relationships.C. She liked to wander on the streets.D. She kept bonding with other people.2.What does the author think of the people today?A. They show little respect to the elderly.B. They look forward to having a pen pal.C. They have limited communication with others.D. They like chatting through long text messages.3.What made the author decide to accept the interview?A. Her grandmother's wisdom.B. Her pen pal's encouragement.C. Her poverty-stricken situation.D. Her curiosity about German culture.4.What does the underlined word "halt" in the last paragraph mean?A. Continue.B. Appear.C. Extend.D. Stop."Regrets, I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention," Frank Sinatra chanted in his 1969 hit "My Way". The song's idea is attractive: that anyone can just declare what's done is done and move on. Some take the declaration a step further and claim they have no regrets at all. Whether a boast or an actual attitude, "no regrets" suggests that life can and should be lived without looking through the rear-view mirror.Easier said than done, though. In 2020, author Daniel H. Pink launched the World Regret Survey, the largest ever survey on the topic. With his research team, Pink asked more than 15,000 people in 105 countries, "How often do you look back on your life and wish you had done things differently?" 82% said regret is at least an occasional part of their life; roughly 21% said they feel regret "al1 the time." Only 1% said they never feel regret.If you are of the "no regrets" type, you might think that all this regret is a recipe for unhappiness. But that isn't the case. True, being overwhelmed by regret is indeed bad for you. But going to the other extreme may be even worse. To rid yourself of regrets doesn't free you from shame or sorrow; it leads you to make the same mistakes again and again. To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regret in its proper place.As uncomfortable as it is, regret is an amazing cognitive(认知) achievement. If today your relationship with your partner has soured, your regret might mentally take you back to last year. You would remember your being mean and sensitive, and then imagine yourself showing more patience, being kind instead of hurtful at key moments. Then you would fast-But regret doesn't have to be left unmanaged. The trick is to acknowledge it and use it for learning and improvement. You can be honest with yourself about what went wrong and use that knowledge to enjoy better relationships in the future.5.What should we do if we have had a bitter quarrel with a close friend according to FrankSinatra?A. Attract more people to your argument.B. Send him/her a letter of apology.C. Boast about being more reasonable.D. Forget about it and just let it go.6.Which of the following statements about regret may the writer agree with?A. We can do nothing about regret.B. Unhappiness results from regret.C. Ignoring regrets is missing the opportunity to improve.D. Ridding yourself of regrets helps free you from sorrow.7.What does the underlined word "languishing" in paragraph 4 most probably mean?A. Improving.B. Healing.C. Showing up.D. Breaking up.8.What might be a suitable title for the text?A. Regret to become smarter-if you let it.B. Long for a different past? Regret it!C. Regret? Not my way!D. Stay away! Regret will heal itself.Both my husband and I will celebrate birthdays in the next few weeks, and we are wondering where all the time has gone. Then we start to rethink about our years together, and the time before our relationship, and the memories flood back along with more smiles than tears. As a great deal of psychological research confirms, we actually recall more positive than negative memories as we age.New research by Erika Sparrow and colleagues, just published in the journal Psychology and Aging, reviewed 16 studies on aging and altruism(利他主义), asking whether people become more open-handed and are more willing to give as they get older. The answer is yes —regardless of financial status, the level of education, or gender, older people responded more willingly when asked to give resources or help others than younger people.So maybe all of us simply need to think happy thoughts. Can it really be this easy? Mara Maher reports, in the journal Memory and Emotion, that the focus on positive aspects of our past as we get older seems to be intentional, a specific goal-directed process to create more positive memories in order to increase our sense of well-being. So there are at least some good things about getting old! But must we age to obtain these benefits?Perhaps not. Ernst Bohlmeijer and colleagues found that people who experience evenmild depression or daily stress benefit from "gratitude exercises", daily diaries where individuals write about positive experiences of their day and reflect on past experiences for which they are grateful. Taking time to actively think about and reflect on the positive experiences in our lives provides perspectives and improves our sense of well-being, regardless of our age.And we can start this process with our children! Research from The Family Narratives Lab has demonstrated many benefits of recalling happy memories between parents and children, including helping children learn to meet challenges and regulate their emotions.This birthday season, my husband and I will share our positive experiences as a gift to each other. In doing this, we will increase our sense of belonging and caring for each other, our family and our community.9.What did the new research from Erika's team find about older people?A. They have a more open mind.B. They are more generous to others.C. They are more likely to be tricked.D. They have a better financial situation.10.What can we know about older people's thinking happy thoughts?A. It is difficult to be achieved.B. It is limited to certain age groups.C. It may be performed purposefully.D. It can be helpful for people to focus on goals.11.How do gratitude exercises benefit people according to Ernst's team?A. By improving their mental well-being.B. By raising kind and considerate children.C. By teaching them ways to meet challenges.D. By strengthening their relationship with others.12.What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Aging has both advantages and disadvantages.B. Reflecting on grateful memories can decrease stress.C. Keeping a diary helps increase our sense of well-being.D. Remembering positive experiences is beneficial across age.答案以及解析1.答案：D解析：细节理解题。

It has been used by more than 100 million people. In December, the school announced it also would begin offering a special certificate, known as MITx, for people who complete certain online courses. Harvard has long offered courses to a wider population througha similar program.The MITx will serve as the foundation for the new learning platform.MIT President Susan Hockfield said more than 120,000 people signed up for the first MITx course. She said Harvard and MIT hope other universities will join them in offering courses on the open-source edX platform.“Fasten your seatbelts,” Hockfield said.Other universities, including Stanford, Yale and Carnegie-Mellon, have been experimenting with teaching to a global population online.The Harvard-MIT program will be monitored by a not-for-profit(非盈利的)organization based in Cambridge, to be owned equally by the two universities.Both MIT and Harvard have provided $30 million to start the program. They also plan to use the edX platform to research how students learn and which teaching methods and tools are most successful.（1）According to this text, edX is .A.a part of the free MIT OpenCourseWareB.a free computer program by MIT and HarvardC.a Harvard-MIT platform of free online coursesD.a free program online for universities worldwide（2）What is said about online education in the text?A.Universities have been trying online courses.B.About 2,000 online courses have been offered.C.Over 100 million people have finished courses online.D.Stanford and Yale together have courses similar to edX.（3）The underlined part in the text probably means“”.A.Get ready for the difficultiesB.Get ready for this educational changeC.Get prepared to complete the online coursesD.Get prepared to make materials for the edX courses（4）What can be said about MITx according to the text?A.It is first offered as part of the edX learning program.B.It is another free MIT-Harvard online learning program.C.It is a standard to recognize online learners’ achievement.D.It is a new kind of free online course of Harvard and MIT.B3.Easter(复活节)is still a great day for worship,candy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs,but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies.And no,not because the kids like to pull their ears.The culprit is climate change,and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US.Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit, for instance.An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys,this species of cottontail is a great swimmer—it lives on the islands!—but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising sea levels.According to the Center for Biological Diversity,an ocean level rise of only 0.6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground anda 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat(栖息地)completely.The snowshoe hare,on the other hand,has a color issue.Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer,each designed to give them better cover from predators(捕食者).As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country,however,more and more bunnies are being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring,making them an easier mark for predators.Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight,but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question.The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down.American pikas or rock rabbits,a relative of rabbits and hares,might be the first of these species to go extinct due to climate change.About 7-8 inches long,pikas live high in the cool,damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains.As global temperatures rise,they would naturally migrate(迁移)to higher ground—but they already occupy the mountaintops.They can’t go any higher.The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat heats up.The volcano rabbit has the same problem.These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico,and recent studies have shown that the lower range of theirhabitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters,but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher,so they are stuck in the middle. Scientists are concerned about their populations.Native to the US,pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West.They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world.Their habitats have been destroyed by development.Several populations,such as the Columbia Basin pygmy,almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs.Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators,but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed.All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter.（1）The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to .A.show the importance of Easter DayB.introduce the issue about bunniesC.remind people of Easter traditionsD.discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies（2）The word “culprit”(Paragraph 2)is closest in meaning to .A.criminalB.judgeC.victimD.producer（3）According to the passage,some rabbits can now be easily discovered by predators because they .A.are exposed to more skillful huntersB.have moved to habitats with fewer plantsC.haven’t adapted themselves to climate changeD.can’t change their fur color into white in the fall and the spring（4）The problem faced by volcano rabbits and rock rabbits is that .A.both are affected by less snowB.both are affected by rising sea levelsC.neither can find enough foodD.neither can migrate to higher places（5）Which best describes the writer’s tone in the passage?A.Approving.B.Concerned.C.Enthusiastic.D.Doubtful.4.短文改错Will our parents check our homework? Not really. Since having already growing up, we can't act like little baby and rely on our parents all the time.When I was in Grade Three, my parents asked us to check my homework by myself.I don't know what to do in that time, so I cried. After that, I got used to correctmy own homework and became more independent.Check homework by ourselves is very good habit. It can not only help us find mistakes in exams more easy but also let our parents worry less about our studies.Because parents will leave us some day, so we should learn to do everything by ourselves.5.假定你是李华。

Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated(*毕业),most of them became ministers or teachers.In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training(*训练)in Harvard's law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American history.As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects.

What they really mean is to get just enough education to give manpower for your society.Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you are occupationally(职业上) dead, unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison and you can successfully stop study in primary school.Get a college degree, if possible. With a BA(学士学位), you should start to find a job. You have to put on the brakes now. If you do go for a master’s degree, make sure it is an MBA and only from a first-class university. Otherwise, the famous law of diminishing(报酬递减律) begins to work.Do you know; for example, that long-distance truck drivers make more money a year than full professors(正教授)? Yes, each driver was paid $ 28,000 in 1997 while a full professor managed to get $ 27,930.A PhD is the highest degree you can get, but except in few specialized filed such as physics or chemistry, where the degree can quickly by turned to industrial or commercial aim, you are facing a not very bright future. There are more PhDs unemployed in this country than in any other part of the world by far.If you became a PhD in English or history or political science or languages or－worst of all-in philosophy, you take the risk of becoming over-educated for our national demands.Thousands of PhDs are selling shoes, driving taxis, vomiting on tables and filling out applications month after month, and then may be taking a job in high school or college with the pay much less than a door-keeper makes.1. According to the writer, the society expects education to turn out people who will ________.A. raise their paymentB. become specialized in some wayC. have a bright futureD. meet the demands as a source of manpower2. If you don’t want to be occupationally dead, you ____________.A. should look for a job in a primary schoolB. must at least get a high school diplomaC. have to change your name for Bernard Shaw or EdisonD. should go on learning and become a doctor or physics or chemistry3. The underlined phrase “put on the brakes” (in Para 3) means ________.A. stop learning for a high degreeB. take up master’s degree at onceC. go on studying in a first-class universityD. find any interesting job4. Which of the following is not TRUE according to the passage?A. Neither Bernard Shaw or Edison finished high schoolB. There are more PhDs than the society demands.C. The higher education level is, the more money you will earn.D. If you are overeducated, you can not easily get a good job.答案1, reply2, B3, C4, A. view景色，风景(尤指远景)；scene 风景，场面(尤指人、动作)；sight 视觉，视力，视野，眼界；look面容，容貌。

B4, we usd 2go2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & 3 kds FTF.”The Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girl who wrote it meant. The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text messages. Text messages (also called SMS) through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At first, mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would be a good way to send messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send messages to each other. Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called “texting.”A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so messages must be kept short. In addition,typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult, so it's common to make words shorter. In texting, a single letter or number can represent a word, like “r” for “are,”“u” for “you,” and “2”for “to.”Several letters can also represent a phrase, like “lol”for “laughing out loud.”Another characteristic of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling “please”as “pls.”Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The student who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her. (The essay said, “My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face.”)Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing. Some experts say languages always develop, and this is just another way in which English is changing. Other people believe texting will disappear soon.

Oxford and Cambridge are universities each having about 12 000 students out of a total of over 250 000 students at all British universities. Eton is a public school, and the best known of the public schools, which in spite of their names, are not really public at all, butindependent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years. The public schools in reality form a very small part of the school system of secondary education of Great Britain; only about one out of forty English boys goes to a public school, and one out of 1500-to Eton.Apart from the so-called public schools there is a complete system of state primary and secondary education, which resembles in its general form the state education in most other countries. All children must, by law, receive full-time education between the ages of five and sixteen. Any child may attend, without paying fees, a school provided by the public authorities, and the great majority attend such schools. They may continue, still without paying fees, until they are eighteen. The public schools, although unimportant numerically, have been England's most peculiar and characteristic to educational methods, and they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure.1.What was the purpose of the author to write the passage?A.It was to tell people the difference between Eton on the one hand and Oxford and Cambridge on the other.B.It was to tell people what the public schools in Great Britain are like.C.It was to tell people something about Britain educational system.D.All of the above.2.Which of the following British child is allowed to go to a public school in Great Britain?A.A thirteen-year-old girl.B.A five-year-old girl.C.A thirteen-year-old boy.D.A five-year-old boy.3.Why does the author say that the so-called public school Eton is not "public"?A.Because no girls are admitted in Eton.B.Because parents have to pay fees for their children at Eton.C.Because it belongs to the few, numerically unimportant schools in Britain.D.Because only one fortieth of British boys go to Eton.4. The mention of British education outside Great Britain suggestsa picture of public schools in that country probably because _____ .A.the whole of English educational practice has been greatly influenced by them.B.some of them are as famous as the universities Oxford and Cambridge.C.these public schools are quite different in form from the public schools in any other countries.D.there are famous schools like Eton among them.5,6, This article is not ____ to that one, because they have nothingin common.A. relatedB. fixedC. joinedD. touched7,The teacher _______ that his students have difficulty in English grammar , decided to give them some further drillingA．knowing B．know C．to know D．being known答案1, B2, B3, A4, 1.B。
文章第一句就说:…a picture of the "public schools"；显然，作者写这篇文章的目的是:（B项）告诉人们英国的公立学校是什么样子。
A项是意思是"一方面告诉人们伊顿（Eton college:伊顿公学）与牛津（Oxford）的不同之处，另一方面也告诉人们它与剑桥的不同之处。
文章提到伊顿和牛津学校，但并不旨在比较他们，只说这几所学校都非常出名。
2.C。
文章第一段中:Eton is a public school, ……taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years.我们知道，伊顿学校只接收十三岁到十八岁的男孩，所以只有C符合。
3.C。
为什么作者说被称为公立的伊顿学校并非"公立"？A项文章没有提及，比较少隐藏，上题我们的例句中说到…taking boys from…，知道伊顿接收的学习对象是男孩儿，但这并非其被认为非"公立"的原因；B 项文章没有提及；C项为正确答案，参考文章最后一句:The public schools, although unimportant numerically, have been England's most peculiar and characteristic to educational methods, and they have an immense influence on …。
D项也不是其原因。
4.A。
文章最后一句说得很明白:The public schools,…they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure.故A正确。
