College and high school students use Facebook to communicate with friends and share both information and pictures for free. The company earns money through advertising.Many other companies have been rumored(谣传) to be interested in buying Facebook. Just a few years after Mark started the company, he was approached by Terry Semel, who was the CEO of Yahoo. Terry offered Mark one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000) to sell Facebook to Yahoo. Mark said no, though. He stands behind his dreams at the very beginning. He knows the value of the company could fall down; however, he is in this to build something unbelievable, not be bought out by another company.Maybe he was smart. Now Facebook is rumored to be worth billions of dollars and bigger companies like Microsoft or Google want a share of the company. Some private firms are also interested.

His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties(特色菜) in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like making drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma is key. “Food TV isn’t about food any more,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights, and Lieberman got the job.【1】We can learn from the text that Lieberman’s family ____.A．have relatives in Erope B．love cooking at homeC．often hold parties D．own a restaurant【2】The Food Network got to know Lieberman ____.A．at one of his parties B．from his teachersC．on a television program D．through his taped show【3】What does the word “charisma” underlined in the text refer to?A．A way to show one’s achievement.B．Lieberman’s after-class interest.C．Lieberman’s fi ne cooking skill.D．A natural ability to attract others.【4】Why did the airline company give Lieberman the job?A．He could prepare meals in a small kitchen.B．He could cook cheap, delicious and simple meals.C．He was famous for his shows on Food TV.D．He was good at using eggs to make sandwiches.【5】What can we learn about Lieberman from the text?A．He is friendly and active.B．He is clever but lonely.C．He enjoys traveling around.D．He often changes his menus.3.If practicing an attitude of gratitude(感激) during the storms of life is too much for you right now, that’s OK. When things are tough, most people have a hard time being thankful. They’re so caught up in what’s wrong inthe present moment that they simply can’t see some things are still right.If that’s true for you, then accept it. You’re going through a particularly difficult or unhappy period of time, and you don’t like it one bit. Very normal, very human. But remember th is: there is always something to be grateful for. It maybe only a small comfort right now, but it is a start. Make a list of some of the terrible things that didn’t happen. For example:●You’re in debt...but you’re not homeless.●You lost your job...but you didn’t lose your health.●You broke your leg...but you didn’t break your neck.●Your mother has Alzheimer’s disease...but your father doesn’t.No matter how bad things are, they could always be worse. Start finding gratitude for what might have happened, but didn’t. It does help a lot. Of course, you may not be thankful for everything— but you can always be thankful for something.【1】The passage is intended for those who ________.A．have done a lot for others B．have met with difficulties in lifeC．have something to do in return D．don’t know how to be thankful【2】The writer thinks it ______ for people to feel unhappy in time of difficulty.A．understandable B．necessary C．impossible D．helpful【3】How many “terrible things that didn’t happen” are listed in this passage?A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.【4】What is the purpose of this passage?A．To discuss ways to make a list of terrible things.B．To explain what is gratitude towards the storms of life.C．To persuade people to be thankful for what didn’t happen.D．To show people different ways to consider their tough situations.【5】How is the passage organized?A．Explanation—Comparison—TopicB．Argument—Opinion—DiscussionC．Comparison—Argument—ExplanationD．Introduction—Discussion—Conclusion四、其他阅读以下人物情况和书籍介绍，请选择适合他们的书籍。
2014年下半年中小学教师资格考试英语学科知识与教学能力试题（高级中学）参考答案及解析一、单项选择题1．【答案】C。
解析：考查读音的同化。
have to在发音过程中出现了同化现象，即have和to 作为相邻词使用时，/v/受后面清辅音/t/的影响变成与自己对应的清辅音/f/，于是读音变为/hæf tu/。
2．【答案】A。
解析：考查句子重读。
一般来说，句子中的实词需要重读，比如名词、动词、形容词、副词、数词等。
虚词多数情况下不重读，比如冠词、介词、物主代词（形容词性）、连词、感叹词等。
故A项正确。
3．【答案】B。
解析：考查名词辨析。
meat“肉，肉类”，stuff“东西”，staff“工作人员”，dish “碟子，盘子”。
题中的roast，prime rib，pie，yoghurt，drinks都属于stuff，故选B。
4．【答案】D。
解析：考查形容词辨析。
分析句子可知空格处应填与shy（害羞的）和unsociable （不爱交际的）意思相反的词，因此选gregarious（爱交际的，合群的）。
5．【答案】B。
解析：考查惯用搭配。
根据由where引导的从句对先行词“（）care”的描述，可知该处表示亲属抚养的意思。
kinship care为惯用搭配，意为“寄养，亲属抚养”，符合题意，故选B。
6．【答案】A。
解析：考查倒装句。
nor本身表示否定，后面的助动词不需再用否定形式，且句子要完全倒装。
故选A。
7．【答案】B。
解析：考查虚拟语气。
if后面的句子是虚拟语气，表示与将来事实相反的情况。
句意为“Jean现在不想工作，如果她有了工作，就不能经常拜访她的朋友了”，从句表示的是对将来事实的假设，所以应该用表示将来的虚拟形式，即were to do/should do/did，故选B。
8．【答案】A。
解析：考查英语中带有小数点的数字的读法。
小数点之后的数字要一个一个读出来，之前的数字按照正常规则来读。

东 北 大 学秦 皇 岛 分 校课程名称： 高 级 英 语 试卷： A 考试形式： 闭 卷授课专业： 考试日期： 试卷：共 7 页I. Reading Comprehension (20*1%=20%).Requirements: You ’re required to read Passage 1~3 in depth and skim & scan Passage 4~6 and answer questions on your answer sheet. Passage 1I was born in Tuckahoe, Talbot Country, Maryland. I have no accurate knowledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves knows as little of their age as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant. I do not remember having ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday. They seldom come nearer to it than planting-time, harvesting, springtime, or falltime. A lack of information concerning my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood. The white children could tell their ages, I could not tell why I ought to be deprived of the same privilege. I was not allowed to make any inquires of my master concerning it. He considered all such inquires on the part of a slave improper and impertinent. The nearest estimate I can give makes me now between twenty-seven and twenty-eight years of age. I come to this, from hearing my master say, some time during 1835, I was about seventeen years old. My mother was named Harriet Bailey. She was the daughter of Isaac and Betsey Bailey, both colored, and quite dark.My mother was of a darker complexion than either my grandmother or grandfather.My father was a white man. The opinion was also whispered that my master was my father; but of the correctness of this opinion, I know nothing; the means of knowing was withheld from me. My mother and I were separated when I was but an infant-before I knew her as my mother. It is a common custom, in the part of Maryland from which I ran away, to part children from their mothers at a veryearly age. Frequently, before the child has reached its twelfth month, its mother is taken from it, and hired out on some farm a considerable distance off, and the child is placed under the care of an older woman, too old for field labor. For what this separation is done, I do not know, unless it was to hinder the development of the child's affection towards its mother.1. The author did not know exactly when he was born because ______ A. he did not know who his mother was. B. there was no written evidence of it. C. his master did not tell his father.D. nobody on his farm knew anything about it. 2. In the mid-nineteenth century, slaves often ______ A. marked their birthdays by the season. B. did not really care how old they were.C. forgot the exact time when they were born.D. pretended not to know each other's birthdays. 3. The author ’s mother told him ______ A. his father was black. B. his father was white. C. nothing about his father. D. his master was his father.4. According the passage, when the author was very young his mother ______ A. ran away.B. was light-skinnedC. had several children.D. was sent to work elsewhere.5. The author had not spent much time with his ______ A. mother. B. master. C. grandfather. D. grandmother.6. The author was most probably raised ______ A. by his grandparents. B. by an old woman slave. C. with his master ’s support. D. together with other children.装订线装 订 线 内 不 要 答 题学 号姓 名班 级Passage 2When Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected President of the United States in 1932, not only the United States but also the rest of the world was in the throes of an economic depression. Following the termination of World War I, Britain and the United States at first experienced a boom in industry. Called the Roaring Twenties, the 1920s ushered in a number of things -- prosperity, greater equality for women in the work world, rising consumption, and easy credit. The outlook for American business was rosy.October 1929 was a month that had catastrophic economic reverberations worldwide. The American stock market witnessed the ―Great Crash‖, as it is called, and the temporary boom in the American economy came to a standstill. Stock prices sank, and panic spread. The ensuing unemployment figure soared to 12 million by 1932.Germany in the postwar years suffered from burdensome compensation it was obliged to pay to the Allies. The country's industrial capacity had been greatly diminished by the war. Inflation, political instability, and high unemployment were factors helpful to the growth of the initial Nazi party. Germans had lost confidence in their old leaders and heralded the arrival of a messiah-like figure who would lead them out of their economic wilderness. Hitler promised jobs and, once elected, kept his promise by providing employment in the party, in the newly expanded army, and in munitions factories.Roosevelt was elected because he promised a ―New Deal‖ to lift the United States out of the doldrums of the depression. Following the principles advocated by Keynes, a British economist, Roosevelt collected the spending capacities of the federal government to provide welfare, work, and agricultural aid to the millions of down-and-out Americans. Elected President for four terms because of his innovative policies, Roosevelt succeeded in dragging the nation out of the depression before the outbreak of World War II.7.Which of the following was NOT true at the time Roosevelt was elected?A. Stock prices were recovering slowly.B. The nation was in a deep depression.C. There were 12 million unemployed workers.D. The nation needed help from the federal government.8.The ―Great Crash‖ in the passage refers to _____.A. the end of World War IB. the Great DepressionC. high unemployment figuresD. a slump in the stock market9.We can infer that the author of this passage _____.A. disapproves of Roosevelt's ―New Deal‖B. thinks the Depression could have been avoidedC. blames the Depression on the ―Great Crash‖D. feels there was some similarity between Roosevelt and Hitler10.The best title for the passage is _____.A. The TwentiesB. The Great CrashC. The DepressionD. The End of World War IPassage 3In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a potential buyer with various induction of price, quality and utility, and it is the buyer who makes the decision. In the health care industry, however, the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the ordinary relationship between producer and consumer, Once an individual has chosen to see a physician, the physician usually makes all significant purchasing decisions: whether the patient should return ―next Wednesday‖, whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc.This is particularly significant in relation to hospital care. The physician must certify the need for hospitalization, determine what procedures will be performed, and announce when the patient may be discharged. The patient may be consulted about some of these decisions, but in the main it is the doctor’s judgments that are final. Little wonder then that in the eyes of the hospital it is the physician who is the real ―consumer‖. As a consequence, the medical staff represents the ―power-center‖ in hospital policy and decision-making, not the administration.Although usually there are in this situation four identifiable participants, the physician, the hospital, the patient and the prayer (generally an insurance carrier or government), the physician makes the essential decision for all of them. The hospital becomes an extension of the physicians; the payer generally meets most of the bonafide (真正的) bills generated by the physician/hospital and for the most part, the patient plays a passive role. In routine or minor illnesses, or just plain worries, the patient’s options are of course much greater with respect to use and price. But in illnesses that are of some significance, such choice tends to evaporate. And it is for these illnesses that the bulk of the health care dollar is spent. We estimate that about 75-80 percent of health care expenditures are determined by physicians, not patients. For this reason, economy measures directed at patient or thegeneral or the general public are relatively ineffective.11.The author’s primary purpose is to _________.A. criticize doctors for exercising too much control over patientsB. analyze some important economic factors in health careC. urge hospitals to reclaim their decision-making authorityD. inform potential patients of their health care rights12.It can be inferred that doctors are able to determine hospital policiesbecause ________.A. it is doctors who generate income for the hospitalB. most of a patient’s bills are paid by his health insuranceC. hospital administrators lack the expertise to question medical decisionsD. a doctor is ultimately responsible for a patient’s health13.According to the author, when a doctor tells a patient to ―return nextWednesday,‖ the doctor is in fact _________.A. taking advantage of the patient’s concern for his healthB. instructing the patient to buy more medical servicesC. warning the patient that a hospital stay might be necessaryD. advising the patient to seek a second opinion14.The author is most probably leading up to a (n) _________.A. proposal to control medical costsB. discussions of new medical treatmentC. analysis of the causes of inflation in the United StatesD. comparison of hospitals and factories15.The tone of the passage can best be described as _________.A. arbitraryB. faultfindingC. analyticalD. inquisitive Passage 4First read the following questions.

More and more often, it seems, people are engaging hotel accommodations without prior booking, and leaving without settling their accounts.These ―silent departures‖have caused us —and other hotels as well —substantial cash losses. So far, at Grand Cay we’ve been able to absorb these losses without passing their cost on to our guests in the form of increased prices. But we’re approaching our limit.So, in order to prevent further losses of this sort, and to keep our prices as low as possible in this time of inflation, we are asking that — any person desiring overnight accommodation without a prior confirmed booking, please pay in advance the full cost of the accommodation.Only by the introduction of such safeguards can the problem be alleviated. Please understand our position, and know that the service we will provide you will continue to be the best we can humanly offer.Many thanks,Godfrey BillinghamGeneral Manager Passage 6First read the questions.19.According to the notes, for visitors, National Trust properties are not open ____A. on Saturdays.B. on Sundays.C. on Good Fridays.D. on Bank holidays.20.We learn from the notes, reduced rates are given to ____A. the handicapped.B. unescorted children.C. senior citizens.D. pre-arranged groups of visitors.Now go through the text quickly and answer the questions.NOTES FOR VISITORS TO NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTIES1.

浙江高一高中英语期末考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解st summer I got a real taste of Swiss life when I spent six weeks with a host family in the Bernese Alps.On arriving in Erlenbach where my host family live,I knew I couldn't have asked for a better setting: it was such a beautiful mountain village.And I couldn't have asked for a better host family,either.They made me feel like part of their family,rather than a tourist—I joined in my host family's day-to-day activities,whether helping pick berries in the garden or going to friends' houses.I wasn't only traveling around Europe seeing the major sights,but I lost myself in a different culture.While many Swiss cultures are similar to America's,there are lots of differences,too.For example,most Swissleave their windows open—without screens—all the time.At first I thought all the bugs（虫子）were going to getin and eat me alive,and wondered why they didn't close the windows and turn on the air conditioner.But then I realized there weren't many bugs and I really enjoyed the fresh air.Probably my biggest shock was the language.I expected the Swiss to speak German,but they spoke a dialect called Swiss German,which has hardly anything in common with German.At times I was very frustrated（受挫的）because my three years of German did not help,but my bad mood did not last.Anyhow,many people knewEnglish and were extremely willing to speak it.Signing up for a cultural exchange was probably the biggest risk I ever took,but it was also the most rewarding. When I left,I promised I would return to Erlenbach.There is more to Switzerland than cheese and watches.【1】What the writer liked best about his stay in Switzerland was probably that .A．he made lots of friends in the villageB．he felt a great sense of belonging thereC．he enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the AlpsD．he played a part in the host family's housework【2】How did the writer feel at first when he found his host family always kept the windows open? A．Relaxed.B．Disappointed.C．Excited.D．Worried.【3】Why was the language the writer's biggest shock during his exchange visit?A．Because he had thought that the Swiss spoke German.B．Because he found his German not good enough for communication.C．Because the Swiss spoke English so well that he needn't have learned German.D．Because the locals told him that Swiss German was almost the same as German.2.It may appear strange to hear that crops are making headlines.But this is no ordinary produce—these fruitsand vegetables have been grown in simulated（模拟的）Martian and lunar soils!Though the possibility of growing crops in outer space only gained widespread interest after Matt Damon grew potatoes in the movie "The Martian",scientists have been testing the idea for many years.Fresh produce will after all be the key to setting up space colonies（殖民地）.Among the pioneers in this effort is a team led by Wieger Wamelink,a scientist at Netherland's Wageningen University.In 2013,they planted fourteen varieties of plants in simulated Martian and lunar soils.Though the "Mars" plants did not bear any produce,they grew better than the "lunar" plants,most of which died shortly after being ck of vapor in the soil,according to the scientists,might have accounted for the failure.The second experiment began in late 2015.The researchers selected the same crops,while this time they used larger containers and added grass to them.In March 2016,their efforts were rewarded with a variety of produce including the vegetable that kept "The Martian" alive: potatoes.However,the researchers were still not sure if the produce was safe to eat.That's because the Martian and lunar soils contain heavy metals like lead and arsenic,which do not affect plants but are poisonous to humans.After months of testing,earlier this week,the team finally confirmed that the produce was safe for human consumption.Some of the crops even contained lower levels of heavy metals than plants grown in the "ordinary" earth soil.To celebrate the success,the scientists held a dinner party that centered ground the crops.While there is no word on how the food tasted,it sure looks delicious.【1】Scientists are trying out the idea of growing crops in outer space because .A．the movie "The Martian" has opened up the possibility for the ideaB．soils on the Mars and the moon are similar to the earth soilC．it is of great importance to space exploration in the futureD．it is a good solution to the world's growing population【2】What change was made in the second experiment?A．The shape of the containers.B．The types of the plants.C．The conditions of the soil.D．The temperature of the lab.【3】Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A．Wieger Wamelink—a Pioneer in Space Crop GrowingB．Space Colonies—Far from PossibleC．Food Safety—a Main Public ConcernD．"Martian" and "Lunar" Crops—Safe for Humans3.For centuries people have hunted animals for food and pleasure.The invention of the gun made it so easy for humans to hunt that some animals were lolled by the thousands and even became extinct（绝种的）.This brings up some serious problems since breaks in the food chain upset the balance of nature.Large animals like tigers are being killed by the hundreds every year in India.The Royal Bengal tiger is the only type that exists in India and their number is greatly reduced every year because of poaching（偷猎）.The present number is about 2,000,all of which live in tiger reserves.Two hundred years ago the population was23,000 or more.During the British rule of India,many of the so-called English gentlemen killed tigers for pleasure and to show their bravery.This seems stupid because killing an innocent（无辜的）creature with a gun is not a brave deed. Today the tiger skin is very popular.Rich people and fashion designers have no idea what they are doing. Competition between the rich to show off makes them blind to the serious effects.People persuade villagers to kill tigers to get money,and they do it because they are poor and need to feed their families.We must educate them,and the government should give them proper jobs to help solve this problem.The people to blame are those who buy animal products like ivories,furs,tiger bones for medicine and handbags made of animal skins.They must be put behind bars to stop this kind of trade.The earth is home for everyone on it. The trees,animals,birds,and fish of all kinds belong here as much as we do.Only we have the power to change their fate.【1】What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A．The balance of nature has long been broken by human beings.B．It is a tradition for people to hunt animals for food and fun.C．The gun is the leading cause of the extinction of many animals.D．Overhunting can lead to a series of problems in nature.【2】According to the writer,the English gentlemen who played hunting games were .A．brave B．cruelC．confident D．careless【3】What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Rich people.B．Fashion designers.C．Poor villagers.D．Government officials.【4】What is the writer's opinion on poaching?A．No buying,no lolling.B．Keep wildlife in the wild.C．Cage the cruelty,not animals.D．Shoot animals with cameras rather than guns.二、其他Looking back at my younger years,I am sometimes amazed at how life has turned out.【1】The only thing that stays the same is who I am,my values,and my interests.If I could go back in time and hang out with my younger self for a day,here's what I would tell her.●Everything happens for a reason.Without mistakes and failure,you would never have learned.Without pain,you would never have grown.Once you understand this,you will know that everything comes in to serve a purpose.So don't think that life is unfair, because everything happens for a reason.【2】●Focus on one thing at a time.It is not surprising that many of us are doing too many things at once.We need to make ends meet.But if you are working three jobs at a time,it is not likely that you will succeed at any of them.You have to keep your eyes on the big picture.You have to ask yourself: What exactly do you want to achieve for the next 10 years?Focus on one thing at a time.【3】●【4】You might be graduating or have hit a turning point with your career.You might feel a bit lost and unsure of where to go.It's okay.Go out there and try as many different things as you can.Don't ever feel like you're wasting your time.Enjoy the journey.Every little path will lead you somewhere.And looking back,you will be able to connect the dots.It will all make sense.●Don't try too hard with people.Don't worry if you feel like it's hard to make new friends.【5】It might take a while until you find new best friends and a mate for life,but when you do,you will know it.It's not hard work.So,just do your things and be yourself.A．Achieve your goals one by one.B．You can plan everything ahead.C．Only time will tell what life will teach us.D．Just be yourself and be as open as you can.E.It's okay to be unsure about your purpose in life.F.Nothing is exactly what I had originally planned for.G.Don't worry too much about a decision you have to make.三、完形填空In February last year,my wife lost her job.Just as suddenly,the owner of the Green House,where I worked as a manager,____a heart attack.His family announced that they were going to____the business because no one in the family wanted to run it.Things looked pretty____.My wife and I read the____in the newspaper each day.

2014高一英语第二学期期末试卷Tourism(旅游业) wasnt as important as it is today. In the past, only people with a good deal of money could travel on holidays to other countries. More people travel today than in the past because there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world; that is to say, people now have more money for travel. Special plane fares(费用) for tourists make travel less expensive and more attractive than ever before. One person doesnt travel for the same reason as another. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own. They also like to meet new people and to taste new food.Tourism causes many changes in a country and in peoples lives.

Except for when they lay their eggs, they spend their whole lives in the water. When it is time to lay their eggs, the females swim to land. They usually return to the place where they themselves were born. How they find their way back there is unknown. When they reach shore, the big, heavy turtles crawl slowly up to the high water mark. Using their flippers, they pull themselves along the sand. They must struggle like mountain climbers.When they finally reach dry sand, they rest before beginning the difficult task of laying eggs. The turtles lay the eggs in deep holes and cover them with warm sand. The sand protects the eggs from harm. Then the females leave them.

浙江高一高中英语期末考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.You drive down the highway with your family or friends in the car,camping equipment and spare clothes in the back.Your windows are down and the wind is hitting you in the face.These are the makings of a classic US road trip.Road trips are quite common in the country,especially during the Thanks-giving holiday,which is the busiest travel time of the year in the country for families and friends who want to get together.And for students,going on a road trip is traditional after graduating from high school or college with their schoolmates.It usually involves traveling great distances across the US and camping out whenever possible. Destinations are different depending on where in the country someone is located.But they all show the same kind of adventure.Popular spots to travel to include Yellowstone National Park,the Grand Canon.However,the most famous of all road trip journey is travelling across the US on Route 66.Route 66 begins in Chicago and ends in Los Angeles.The route goes past many of the lesser-known states.However,it's the bizarre （稀奇古怪的）and wonderful small attractions that draw many road trippers to them.The attractions one sees on these trips are quite strange and very difficult to explain to non-American.They are filled with gas stations that still look like they did back in the 1950s and small restaurants known as "mom and pop restaurants" where you can eat a greasy cheeseburger with a delicious milkshake.Route 66 is also filled with quite unusual,but still fascinating wonders.Deep down,US road trips show the spirit of freedom and openness.The idea is that if you have a car,you have freedom to escape,to discover,to find yourself,to lose yourself.It's a powerful call,one that is part of the US' identity and culture.It is a must-do for anyone who plans to spend time in the US to see the country and all of its wonders.An old saying—"It's not the destination,it's the journey"—best explains what the experience of a road trip truly offers.【1】The first paragraph is designed to .A．present the topic B．list some factsC．raise a question D．give an example【2】What attracts US road trippers most on Route 66?A．Lesser-known states.B．Mom and pop restaurants.C．Gas stations and delicious foods.D．Strange attractions and fantastic wonders.【3】What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A．To introduce US road trips.B．To spread American culture.C．To stress the importance of a road trip.D．To attract US road trippers to Route 66.2.I am a working woman with a secret life: I keep house.An off-an-on lawyer and professor in public,in private I launder and clean,cook and devote serious time and energy to a domestic（家务的）routine,not so different from my grandmothers did as "housewives."When I want a good read,I reach for my collection of old housekeeping handbooks.I enjoy housekeeping and the comforts it provides.I have almost entirely hidden this passion for housekeeping though I am writing a long story about it.No one meeting me for the first time would doubt that I spend my time knitting and remembering household facts.I knew I would not want this information about me to get around.After all,I belong to the first generation of the women who worked more than they stayed home.Being viewed as over domestic can get you socially ostracized.When I made hand-rolled pasta（意大利面）for a dinner,I learned the hard way that some guests will find this annoying,as they do not feel comfortable eating a meal that they regard as the product of too much trouble.When my son was in nursery school,I made the mistake of spending a few hours sewing for him a Halloween dressing,receiving hard stares of many fellow parents who had bought a Batman or Esmeralda costume.Many times my courage in writing the story failed me when painfulsilences followed my confession（坦白）about the long book,"NO,not a history of housework,an explanation of it—a practical book on how you make the bed and make a comfortable home."I managed to hold on partly because not everyone responded with that stare;there was support as well.And I was struck that no one responded with coldness.The topic was clearly hot-too hot for some people to handle,heartwarming to others. 【1】What makes the author enjoy housekeeping?A．The joy and comfort from housekeeping.B．Her wish to be different from others.C．The influence of her grandmothers.D．Her love to her family.【2】Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word in Paragraph 3?A．Interested.B．Rejected.C．Accepted.D．Concerned.【3】We can learn that the author .A．gives up writing her story at times B．does housekeeping as her full jobC．receives some unfair treats D．thinks her book useful to all3."A photograph that one has taken of oneself,typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website."This is the definition（定义）of the word "selfie" in the Oxford English Dictionary.In fact,it wasn't even in the dictionary until August,2013.It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed（着迷）with selfies—we take them when we try on a new hat,play with our pets or when we meet a friend whom we haven't seen in a while.But does this obsession actually make sense?Is there any scientific explanation for it?Well,you should probably ask James Kilner,a neuroscientist at University College London.Through our lifetime we become experts at recognizing and interpreting other people's faces and facial expressions.In contrast,according to Kilner,we have a very poor understanding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at them—we just feel them most of the time.This has been proved in previous studies in which participants were shown images of themselves and asked to match their facial expressions in the pictures.In most cases,they failed to accurately produce the same facial expressions without being able to see themselves in the mirror,according to BBC.To further test how we actually sense our own faces,Kilner carried out another study.He showed people different versions（版本）of their own image—the original which had been edited to look less attractive and one that was made more attractive—and asked them to pick the version which they thought looked most like them.Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture.This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better-looking than we actually are.But what does it say about selfies?Well,isn't that obvious?Selfies give us the power to create a photograph—by taking it from various angles,with different poses,using filters（滤镜）and so on—that better matches our expectations with our actual faces."You suddenly have control in a way that you don't have in non-virtual（非虚拟的）interactions,"Kilner told the Canada-based CTA News.Selfies allow you "to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one you're happy with", he explained.【1】According to Kilner's studies,it can be learned that we .A．know about our own faces wellB．tend to recognize our
