Passage 1
Sometimes there are questions in our minds which we would like to ask people,butwe are too shy orembarrassed(为难的) At other times we feel it iswrong to trouble others with our problems,or are prevented from asking by our fear ofbeing criticied.
Often there need be no such fear because other people haveundergone(经历)the same questionings,dous or worries as ourselves,and many adults or teenage friends are only too pleased to share their knowledge or experience with us.Indeed,in many cases they also learn something,and much unnecessary worry is prevented.
You may use this Question Time to ask anything about life that you don't understand,or any question of a personal or general nature that has either troubled youfor some time or arisen recently.In order to protect your feelings,which you may not want exposed,write the question down (in capitals if you wish) on a slip of paper without your name on it.Then fold the paper and hand it to your teacher who will sort the questions out at home before the lesson takes place.He will respect the fact that the questions areasked in confidence(秘密地);they should,however,be sensible and honest ones.
During the lesson the teacher will read out a question,and then call upon one ortwo volunteers from the class to offer their opinions before giving his own.Theclass should regard both questions and answers and the discussion that arises from them as confidential to avoid breaking the trust the questioner has placed in the lesson,and to make possible further discussion of similar problems on another occasion.It is also helpful to remember that the answers given represent only one or two points of view—someone else might answer them quite differently.

Passage 2
Chinese Mainland,Hong Kong,Taiwan Join Hands in SARS Research
The World Health Organiation says the number of SARS(非典型性肺炎)cases worlide has reached 2,960.Though half of the affected patients have recovered,new cases are still being reported and the cause of the disease has still not been pinpointed.The Chinese mainland,Hong Kong and Taiwan are all among the 23 countries and regions trying to cope with the epidemic(传染病).
South China's Guangdong Province is one of the areas hardest hit by SARS.It's also where the first case of the disease was reported.Observers say the situation in Guangdong has steadily improved with a sharp downturn in the number of affected patients.So far,over 83 percent of the patients have recovered and been released from hospital.
“First of all,we need to understand that SARS is an epidemic and the human immunity(免疫性) to the disease is therefore weak.But,from what we have experienced and observed,there is no reason topanic.The disease's infectiousness(传染性)is being weakened as it p asses from one group to another.”said hong Nanshan,director of Guangdong Team for SARS Prevention and Treatment.
The director says the key to fighting the disease now lies in finding the cause and developing a vaccine(疫苗).This calls for concerted cooperation within theinternational medical community.So far,the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong have been working well together.
The SARS situation in Taiwan offers a more reassuring picture.So far a little over 20 people have been affected,with no deaths reported.Taiwan medical experts say this is in part due to effective quarantine(隔离) of suspected patients.But mainland cooperation with the island has so far been confined to the individual level.
“We have cooperated with the US Center for Disease Control and the Hong Kong Health Department.Recently Taiwan officials have been to Hong Kong to learn from the region's experience.After all,Hong Kong is now the epicenter(中心) of SARS and has developed some effective ways to diagnose(诊断) the disease.”said hang Cangneng from Taiwan Xinguang Hospital.
Experts from the mainland and Taiwan are pushing for greater cooperation(合作) in the field.A joint seminar by all three sides will be held later this month.Questions relating to the virus's profile and the cause will be discussed at length to shed light on the remaining questions about the disease.

Passage 3
Clive Walker is chairman of the Wilderness Trust of Southern Africa,founder of the Lapalala Wilderness School,an exhibiting wilderlife artist and author of seveal natural history books.As such,Walker is recognised as one of South Africa's foremost conservationists(环保人士)—and allround(多才的)good guy.
He has fought to protect the black and white rhinoceros—targets for ruthless(无情的) hunters because their horn(角) gets high prices in Asian countries—and through the wilderness school,has taught thousands of children from South Africa and overseas about nature and conservation.
His latest project is an application to the United Nations Educational,Scientific,and Cultural Organiation(UNESCO) to have the Waterberg area in South Africa's Northern Province become a biosphere reserve(生物圈保护区).Walker believes the future of conservation in South Africa lies in education and in private game reserves.
In 1981 Walker was point taking(定点导游) adults on wilderness walks.At that point,he decided he wanted to “do something for children”through the establishment of an environmental school.“Conita and I were prepared to look at children whose parents could afford it,and those children who came from backgrounds whose parents could never do it.After that Conita and I set out to find a place that would be safe,sufficiently close to the main areas of Johannesburg and Pretoria,bemalaria(疟病) free,have water and be benefit to education on the environment.They found this in Lapalala.In the first year,30 children—10 of them blacks fromSoweto—were present to visit the reserve.Nowadays,3,000 children a year spend time there.Those lucky enough to visit his wilderness school will
see—among many species—white rhino,warthogs and red hartebeests. “What made it really bad was when I started mixing black children with white children.”When aneighbour reported Walker to the security police and at last he was asked at their notorious headquarters,Walker said“I told them that all I was trying to achieve was to give children of South Africa,regardless of their background,an understanding of conservation and awareness that our survival dependsso much on it.”
Walker survived the questioning after his point successfully,the school remained open—and at least 45,000 children and teachers have had the pleasure of experi
encing the Lapalala Wilderness and its abundant wildlife over the past 19 years

lay with the computer,”his little sister Tessa said,adding that he helps the FBI because “he likes to help”，not because he's looking for fame and recognition.
When the world was hit by the “Love Bug”virus,Jonathan was too busy preparing a speech on e-security to look into the problem“Finally on May 7,I had some free time,so I began looking.”Within a few hours,h e had found thesuspect and emailed his method and results to the FBI.He said his work on the “Melissa”virus,which took three weeks to solve,was a big help in finding the suspect so quickly“This time I knew exactly where to start,I knew what to disregard an d what to look at.”

Passage 5
Former US Vice President Al Gore,who came close to winning the presidency two years ago,said he will not run in 2004,and probably will not have another opportunity to seek the White House.
Though Gore would have been a frightening Democratic(民主党的) main runner,his decision to give up the 2004 race probably helped his party's chances in the general election against President George W.Bush,Democrats said.
Many did not want to see BushGore Ⅱ.
“The last campaign was an extremely difficult one,” Gore told CBS TV show “60 Minutes”on Sunday.
While saying he still had th e energy and drive to run again,Gore recognied,“There are a lot of people within the Democratic Party who felt exhausted(by the 2000 race)…who felt like,OK,…I don't want to go through that again.?And I'm frankly sensitive to that feeling.”
In nearly two doen interviews after Gore announced his plans,Democrats dutifully claimed their party had lost a top candidate,but one after another,they praised Gore for taking an early exit from a primary race he could have won,sparing them a repeat.
Gore,54,said he was making his decision“in the full understanding that it probably means that I will never have another opportunity to run for president.”
Party activists(激进主义分子)blamed Gore for losing despite a booming economy and eight years of a Democratic administration.Gore even lost his home state of Tennessee,a victory there would have given him the White House.

Passage 6
Priscilla—Ouchida's “energy efficient”house turned out to be a horrible dream.When she and her eng ineer husband married a few years ago,they built a $ 100,000,three-bedroom home in California.Tightly sealed to prevent air leaks,the house was equipped with small doublepaned(双层玻璃) windows and several other energysaving features.Problems began as soon as the couple moved in,however.Priscilla's eyes burned.Her throat was constantly dry.She suffered from headaches and could hardly sleep.It was as though she had suddenly developed a strange illness.
Experts finally traced the cause of her illness.The level of formaldehyde(甲醛) gas in her kitchen was twice the maximum allowed by federal standards for chemical workers.The source of the gas? Her new kitchen cabinets and walltowall carpeting.
The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution,which is not given sufficient attention partly because of the nation's drive to save energy.The problem itself isn't new.“The indoor environment was dirty long before energy conservation came along，”says Moschandreas,a pollution scientist at Geomet Technologies inMaryland.“Energy conservation has tended to accentuate the situation in somecases.”
The problem appears to be more troublesome in newly constructed homes ratherthan old ones.Back in the days when energy was cheap,home builders didn't worry much about unsealed cracks.Because of such leaks,the air in an average home was repaced by fresh outdoor air about once an hour.As a result,the pollutants generated in most households seldom built up to dangerous levels.
1. It can be learned from the passage that the Ouchidas' house——
A.is well worth the money spent on its construction
B.is almost faultless form the point of energy conservation
C.failed to meet energy conservation standards

2. What make the Ouchidas' new house a horrible dream?
https://www.doczj.com/doc/6f16897488.html,ck of fresh air.
B.Poor quality of building materials.
C.Gas leakage in the kitchen.
D.The newly painted walls.
3. The word“accentuate”(Para.3) most probably means“.————“
A.relieve
B.accelerate
C.worsen
D.improve
4.Why were cracks in old houses not a big concern?
A.Because indoor cleanliness was not emphasied.
B.Because energy used to be inexpensive.
C.Because environmental protection was given top priority.
D.Because they were technically unavoidable.
5.Thispassageismostprobably taken from an article entitled ————
A.Energy conservation
B.House Building
CrisisC.Air Pollution Indoors
D.Traps in Building Construction
Passage 7
More and more private schools are being set up in China these days,ending the state monopoly of the country's educational system.Although private schools are still on the experimental stage and are much more expensive as compared with the public schools,there is no lack of application for enrollment.
People welcome private schools for good reasons.First of all,those schools are relieving our government of part of the burdens of financing so many schools.Second,parents are willing to send their only child to better schools even if it costs more.And having more money than the government funded public schools,those private schools can attract better teachers.They can also offer better environments including superior living facilities and more advanced teaching equipments.However,adequate money doesn't guarantee good education.If not well guided and properly
disciplined,the privileged young children might turn out to be new arist
ocrats,and therefore unfit for our highly competitive modern society.

C.there are some disadvantages in the private schools
D.how the public schools compete with the private schools
Passage 8
A young man once went into town and bought himself a pair of trousers.When he goto home,he went upstairs to his living room and put them on.He found that they were about two inches too long.

Passage 9
Rush hour traffic is a problem in many big cities around the https://www.doczj.com/doc/6f16897488.html,muters(通勤者) rush to and from their jobs in cars,buses,subways,trains,and even on https://www.doczj.com/doc/6f16897488.html,rge cities in the United States have two rush hours—one in the morning and one in the evening.But in cities in other parts of the world,there are four rush hours.In Athens and Rome,for example,many workers go home for lunch and a nap.After this midday break,they rush back to their jobs and work for a few more hours.
In Tokyo,there's a big rush hour underground.Most of the people in Tokyo take the subways.The trains are very crowded.Subway employees called packers wear whitegloves and help pack the commuters into the trains when the doors close.They make sure that all purses,briefcases,clothes,and hands are inside the trains.
In Seoul,many commuters prefer to take taxis to get to work.To hail a cab，many people stand at crossroads and raise two fingers.This means they'll pay the cab driver double the usual fare.Some people even raise three fingers! They'll pay THREE times the normal rate。
Streets in Rome are very crowded with automobiles and mopeds(摩托自行车)during rush hours.The city can't make its streets wider,and it can't build new highways,because it doesn't want to disturb the many historic sites in the city,such as the Forum and the Colosseum.It took the city fifteen years to construct a new subway system.Construction had to stop every timeworkers found old artifacts and discovered places of interest to archaeologists(考古学家).
In many big cities,there are special lanes on highways for carpools.These are groups of three or more people who drive to and from work together.They share the costs of gas and parking and take turns driving into the city.
Getting to work and getting home can be difficult in many places around the world.Rush hour traffic seems to be a universalproblem.

Passage 10
Every year more and more plants and animals disappear never to be seen again.Strangely,it is the most intelligent but most thoughtless animal that is causing most of the problems—man.Nature is very carefully balanced and if this balance isdisturbed,animals can disappear alarmingly(令人担忧地) fast.Every day,thousandsof species of animals draw closer to extinction.There are countless numbers of species which may become extinct before they are even discovered.
In many lakes the fish are dying.Fishermen are worried because every year there are fewer fish and some lakes
have no fish at all.Scientists are beginning to get worried too.What is killing the fish?
The problem is acid rain.Acid rain is a kind of air pollution.It is caused by factories that burn coal or oil or gas.These factories send smoke high into the air.The wind often carries the smoke far from the factories.Some of the harmful substances in the smoke may come down with the rain hundreds of miles away.
The rain in many places isn't natural and clean any more.It's full of acid chemicals.When it falls in lakes,it changes them too.The lakes become more acidic.Acid water is like vinegar or lemon juice.It hurts when it gets in your eyes.It also kills the plants and animals that usually live in lake water.That is why the fish are dying in lakes.
But dead fish may be just the beginning of the problem.Scientists are finding other effects of acid rain.In some large areas trees are dying.Not just one tree here and there,but whole forests.At first scientists couldn't understand why.There were no bugs or diseases in these trees.The weather was not dry.But now they think that the rain was the cause.Acid rain is making the earth more acidic in these areas.Some kinds of trees cannot live in the soil that is very acidic.
Now scientists are also beginning to study the effects of acid rain on larger animals.For example,they believe that some deer in Poland are less healthy becauseof acid rain.If deer are hurt by the rain,what about people? This is the question many people are beginning to ask.No one knows the answer yet.But it is an important question for us all.

Passage 12
Many immigrants(移民) to the United States find the decision to seek better lives for their familiesin America can have an unexpected and tragic consequence(后果).Deep differences with their children develop over language and culture.
“Many immigrants arrive here without much education.Their kids soon gain language skills and also street smarts(耍时髦) on how to live in America,leaving the parents at a disadvantage,”Ileana,Rosas,pastor of a Methodist church group operaing in Virginia,said.
“Not only that but they find they cannot relate to children who quickly absorb American culture,”she said.
According to the US Census Bureau(人口调查),the number of foreign born or first generation Americans reached 55 million last year,a record one in five the totalpopulation.
A government survey of 922 immigrants in 2000 found that nearly 40 percent of those who had been in the United States for more than 15 years would still like to take English classes if they had the time.
Two thirds of low income households depended on their children for translation.
Psychologists(心理学家) and sociologists say parents can lose their position of authority(权威) in a family as a result and the effects of that can be farreaching.
Children exposed to American pop culture that glorifies(颂扬) youth and sexuality(性感)often rebel when their parent s try to impose the conservative valuesthey brought with them. “Americaniation erodes(侵蚀) all critical(紧要的) aspects of parenting，”saidRichard Weissbourd,who teaches education at Harvard University.
“I feel a part of me is dying with my children.They do n't listen to my music.I have to play it on Sunday morning when they are not around,”said an immigrant.

Passage 13
Humanity uses a little less than half the water available worlide.Yet occurrences of shortages and droughts(干旱) are causing famine and distress in some areas,and industrial and agriculturalbyproducts are polluting water supplies.Since the world's population is expected to double in the next 50 years,many experts think we are on the edge of a widespread water crisis.
But that doesn't have to be the outcome.Water shortages don't have to trouble the world—if we start valuing water more than we have in the past.Just as we began to appreciate petroleum more after the 1970s oil crises,today we must start looking at water from a fresh economic perspective.We can no longer afford to consider water a virtually free resource of which we can use as much aswe like in any way we want.
Instead,for all uses except the domestic demand of the poor,governments should price water to reflect its actual value.This means charging a fee for the water itself as well as for the supply costs.
Governments should also protect this resource by providing water in more economically and environmentally sound ways.For example,often the cheapest way to provide irrigation(灌溉) water in the dry tropics is through smallscale projects,such as gathering rainfall in depressions(洼地) and pumping it to nearby crop land。
No matter what steps governments take to provide water more efficiently,they must change their institutional and legal approaches to water use.Rather than spread control among hundreds or even thousands of local,regional and national agencies that watch various aspects of water use,countries should set up central authorities to coordinate water supply.

Passage 14
People in Shanghai can quench their thirst(解渴) with high quality water if the Shanghai Water Authority (SWA) is able to make good on its word.It has vowed(发誓) to make the city's water match its status as a worldclass city。
“The current tap water quality meets national standards,but,compared with th at of the European Union and the United States,it still needs to be improved,”said the SWA's director general,hang Jiayi.
The Shanghai Special Water Supply Layout calls for residents to be able to drinkthe tap water without boiling it,in less than a decade.
In other developed countries,water fountains can be found almost everywhere—people do not bother with bottled drinking water.
By 2020,the water of the Huangpu River will be treated to reduce the amount of organic(有机物的) waste in it.This initiative(倡议) is to be completed in the first half of this year,hang said.
Major water works that draw water from the Huangpu will need more treatment facilities to improve the color,texture(结构),ammonia(氨)and nitrogen(氮) content before 2010.
These treatment facilities are expected to cost 4 billion yuan,something that could affect the price of water,according to Chen Yin,SWA's deputy director general.
Chen said that replacing water pipes was also a key project.The city's aged pipes are mostly to blame for the bad water quality.
The SWA has started the water facilities renovation(整修) work,including the more than 14,000 kilometers of indoor piping,107,000 tanks on top of the buildings,and more than 6,000 underground facilities.
World Water Day came on March 22,and this year's theme is“water for the future”.Beijing is also drawing up plans during China's Water Week,which runs until March 28.
By 2008,the water for the Olympic Games is to above World Health Organiation standards.And,the people of Beijing will be able to drink their tap water as well.

3.从文章的倒数第二段的第一句“We have cooperated with the US Center…”和倒数第一段的第一句“Experts from the mainland and Taiwan are pushing for greater cooperation in the field”可以得出结论。A.“about half of the patients with SARS died”是一个错误信息，通过文章的几句话，“So far,over 83% of the patients have recovered and been released from hospital.”“So far,a little over 20 peoplehave been affected,with no deaths reported.” 可以推测出来。B.“When the passage was written there were about 2，960 people with SARS in Guang dong.”这是个错误信息。文章的第一段第一句话告诉我们“…worlide…”表明是世界共有2，960，而不是
广东一个地方。C.是一个错误信息。第五段第二句话“So far，a little over 20 people have been affected.”已经有20多人患病。答案为D。
4.词语理解题。从第三段中可以看出，“…there is no reason to panic”中的“panic”表示“慌乱，害怕”，“scare”的意思是“恐惧，害怕”。答案为C。
Passage 3
1.A.“45,000 children and teachers a year…”这是一个错误答案。从文中最后一句话“…and at least…over the past 19 years…”可知是在过去十九年中，而不是一年。B为错误答案，从第五段的最后一句“regardless of their background”可以看出。D是错误答案，从文中的第四段的最后一句可以看出。C是正确答案，从“What made it really bad was when I started mixing…”得出结论。答案为C。

Passage 5
1.该则新闻报道的所有内容都是围绕戈尔放弃2004年总统竞选决定这一中心来写的。答案为B。
2.作为现年54岁的戈尔年龄并不大，A是不对的；从“…their party had lost a top candidate”也可以判断出B是不正确的；从戈尔的话“…it probably means that I will never have another opportunity to run for president.”来分析，他还是很想当美国总统的。再说，又有谁不想当总统呢?从“There are a lot of people within the Democratic Party who felt exhausted( by the 2000 race)…who fell like,OK，…I don't want to go through that again.?And I'm frankly sensitive to that feeling.”可以很清楚地推断出正确答案为C。
3.从好多人对戈尔的赞扬以及戈尔的话“…in the full understanding that…”可以看出戈尔做出的决定是通过深思熟虑的，因此，他也是很冷静的(calm)。答案为D。
Passage 6
1.推断题。本文第一段的首句是本文的主题句。“Pricilla这幢…有效节能?的房子，结果却是一场噩梦。”从通篇的阐述分析，这栋房子确实无可指责，而问题在于良好的节能性使早已存在的室内环境污染得以显现，致使Ouchida身受其害。所以选项B“从节约能源方面看是完美无瑕的”正确。选项C“不能达到节约能量的标准”与此刚好相悖。文章没有涉及到建房所需费用值不值的问题。因此，选项A花在其建设上的钱比较值得”，不对。文章没有提到选项D“按科学的方法设计建造的”，故此项也不对。答案为B。
2.细节题。第三段的第二、三句：“厨房内甲醛气体的标准比联邦当局要求从事化学生产的
标准的两倍还要高。气体来自哪里?厨房内的新柜子和铺满地板的地毯。”另外从最后一段
的分析可看出，此类问题是由于新建房屋的密封性好所致。所以，选项A“缺乏新鲜空气”
为正确答案。而选项B、C、D均与文章内容不符。答案为A。
3.词语题。这一段指出：The Ouchidas是室内空气污染的受害者，国家开展的节能运动使人
们忽视室内空气污染问题，这是造成这种情况的部分原因。然后指出：室内空气污染问题早
在节能运动前就存在，只是节能使这种问题在有些情况下变得更严重。据此，答案为C。
4.细节题。最后一段第二句明确指出：“因为在以前能源便宜时，房屋的建造者不必担心未
封闭的裂缝。”应选择选项B。其他三项都不符合题意。答案为B。
5.主旨题。综观全文，尤其是作者在最后两段的分析，可以看出本文只是以节能所造成的问
题为例，旨在阐述早已存在的室内空气污染问题。所以选项C为正确答案。实际上该题就
是“Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?”的另一种表达形式。答案为C。Passage 7
1.从文中的第二段可以看出：私立学校可以提供“better teachers,superior living facilities and more advanced teaching equipment”。答案为C。
2.从第一、二段中可以找到。答案为D。
3.从文中“However,adequate money doesn't guarantee good education.If not well guided and properly disciplined，…”可以推出，作者提到引导学生和纪律的重要性，所以下文可能要谈论私立学校如何引导学生。答案为B。

不讲话。况且，她们在厨房里忙完以后，只有她妈妈去到楼上帮他改裤子，他两个姐妹并没
有迅速去做此事。答案为B。
4.surprising一词不能用来说明人感到惊奇；对于一个大小伙子来说，一条裤子改毁了就“
cry”是不合情理的；裤子已经短了，“worried”也没有用了，只有“sad”而已。答案为D。Passage 9

Passage 1
Among various programmes, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one isdifferent in style(风格). But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.
Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the show takes the ever—common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people's lives.
Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality(质量) of life.Contents are from teaching your childrenlessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.
Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show.Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.
Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main viewers are middleclass Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life's tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show's exploitation.
1Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are—— .
A more interesting
B unusually popular
C more detailed
D more formal
2 Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows ——
A remain interested in them
B are ready to face up to them
C remain cold to them
D are willing to get away from them
3 Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?
A A new type of robot.
B Nation hatred.
C Family income planning.
D Street accident.
4 We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows————
A have become the only ones of its kind
B exploit the weaknesses in human nature
C appear at different times of the day
D attract different people
Passage 2
Advertising gives useful information about which products to buy.But modern advertising does more than gives news about products and services.Today's advertisements,or ads,try to get consumers(消费者)to buy certain brands(品牌).Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can sometimes persuade a consumer to wear acertain kind of clothing,eat a special kind of cereal(麦片),or see a movie.Consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisementsfor it.
For example,you probably do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket.Thereare probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves.You may not have space on your shelf for another.But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra tasty and has a free prie in the box,you may want it.Advertis ing must get attention.To be effective,it must be exciting,entertaining,or provide some pleasure.The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product.The idea is what the ad is really selling.One example is anad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports.That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy.
1 What is discussed in this passage?

D The writing of modern advertising.
2 According to the passage,a good advertisement should ————
A be both persuasive and effective

3 From the passage,we can infer that————
A modern advertising has less effect on customers
B once customers s ee ads about a new cereal,they are sure to buy it
C cereal can make people strong
D cereal is a kind of food which is popular among people
4 What can we infer from the passage?
A Customers can easily be persuaded by advertisements.
B Custo mers should be persuaded by advertisements.
C It's impossible for customers to buy a product without advertisements.
D Customers buy products according to their demands rather than the advertisements.

They were allin thin summer dresses or short sleeved shirts; even at that late hour it was s tifling. Two thin dogs lay under one of the tables with their tonguesout, and some of the women were fanning themselves unenthusiastically(无精打彩的) with magaines.
“He's not here," I said, after a quick look around. The television was blaringout an advertisement for a detergent(洗衣粉), and the people sitting round had their eyes glued to the picture of a woman proudly showing how white her husband's underwear was after having been washed. They took no notice of us at all.

Scientists Identify SARS Virus
Scientists say they have identified the virus that causes the mysterious,flulike illness Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome.
Scientists say the corona virus(冠状病毒),now identified as the cause of SARS,ispart of the same family of viruses that causes the common cold.However they say it is part of a distinct subgroup of corona viruses that do not have the same properties as the ordinary cold.
World Health Organiation virologist Klaus Stohr said that with the identificaton of this corona virus,it could now be possible to develop more specific diagnostic tests for the disease.
“Now the research can be focused on this virus.The research will hlep us to develop new drugs，”he said.“Now we can focus on one pathogen which has been sequenced,which provides additional information for the development of tests.Now,one can perhaps think about a vaccine(疫苗) if need be.We are still,I think,optimistic that we can control the disease with the measures which have been carried out.”
SARS is spread by droplets through close personal contact.Symptoms include high fever,a dry cough and shortness of breath.About four percent of its victims die.The scientists say this virus has long existed in nature,but it has never been seen in humans before.
They say a new genetic sequencing of the SARS virus proves conclusively that it came from animals.A scientist at the U.S.Center for Disease Control,James Le Duc,says this is the first experience scientists have with this virus.Therefore,he says,a lot remains unknown.
“As you know,it is what we call a virgin soil outbreak,”Mr Le Duc said.“It has never occurred in humans before.How it will progress,nobody really knows.But,it is most difficult to control diseases that are spread by droplets in this pers
ontoperson spread.So,I think it would be premature(太早的) to suggest we arenear the end of this outbreak.”
（英语）英语阅读理解专项习题及答案解析 一、阅读理解 1．根据短文内容选择正确答案。 D If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming. Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty in such positive（积极的）light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance. When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chan ces all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting（咨询）, but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income（收入）by teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school. Allison knew she w asn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted. She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general（全面的）plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent, and time we must all take if we’re being honest with ours elves. The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty. （1）From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that . A. being out of work is a sad thing B. uncertainty is what makes life interesting C. life in a film is more exciting than real life. D. chance never appears when we need it （2）What troubles Allison after graduation? A. She couldn’t find a well-paid job. B. She had no money to start a business. C. She was not sure what to do. D. She didn’t score high enough for graduate school. （3）How did Allison feel about her six years’ working experience? A. Uncertain. B. Amazed . C. Sorry. D. Satisfied. （4）What may be discussed in the following paragraph?
贫穷,不是她的烙印 她低着头，手指缠着衣角，看上去十分拘谨。穿的衣服明显不合体，小小地缚在身上，双肘的部位还粗糙地缝着两块颜色极不谐调的补丁。 这是河北省一个极偏僻的小山村。没有公路，没有电话，没有电视，甚至连照明灯都刚刚接上不久。村民们只依靠山上零散的几颗枣树勉强维持着生存。这里的孩子，不要说读书，即使是温饱，亦是极难保障的。 看着面前一摞摞崭新的书本，女孩清澈的眼神里闪烁着希望的光。阿姨，这些书和本子，都是给我的吗?她小心翼翼地抚摸着书本，语气中有怀疑。 是的，全是给你的。喜欢吗?我帮她理了理有些杂乱的头发，心中疼惜不已。 真的?都是给我的?她又问，眼中夹杂着不确定与期盼。 当然，我们可以拉勾。我伸出小指，对女孩微笑。 她怯生生地伸出手，将细瘦却已粗糙的指头跟我勾在一起。①突然，灿烂的笑如菊花般盛开在她的脸上。这时，电视台的小张拿着话筒走过来，摄影师小罗也摆好了架势准备录像。 如晴好的天空突然飘过一大片乌云，女孩明媚的笑容顷刻黯然。她把书轻轻地放回原处，小小的身子开始慢慢后退。 怎么了?没关系的，如果不会说，叔叔可以教你。小张走过去拉她。 她继续往后退着，眼泪也一颗颗滴落下来。 我走上前问：为什么伤心，可以跟阿姨说吗? 女孩用袖子抹了一下眼睛，哽咽道：阿姨，我不想上电视，别让他们拍我好吗?她解释着，小脸急得通红，我知道，我现在很穷，但是我保证，我一定努力学习。我不会穷一辈子的。我的心倏地一疼。 小张的话筒缓缓落下，小罗也默默地将摄像机收了起来。 我将书本放到她手里：孩子，其实你一点都不穷。回家去吧，好好读书，你的心愿一定会实现的。她笑了，眼睛弯成月牙儿。我知道，此刻她的内心，已有向上的力量在升腾。 车走出很远，尘土飞扬中，那个小小的影子仍站在原地。一路上，大家都沉默不语。这个仅仅12岁的女孩，教我们懂得了：贫穷，不是一个人永远的烙印。 1、文中女孩在接受赠书的过程中，心情几起几落。请从文中找出能表明她心理变化的词语，

阅读理解题型分析 1.阅读理解题型的特点 （1）所选材料来源与实际生活，而且使用语言地道。 （2）体裁常见的有记叙文，说明文；议论文和应用文等。 （3）题材广泛包括了政治、经济、文化、科普、人物、故事、社会现象、地理风情，新闻报道等内容。 （4）阅读理解文章的体裁主要有三类：叙述文、说明文和议论文。1）、叙述文叙述文一般以讲述个人生活经历为主，对于经历的陈述通常由一定的时间概念贯穿其中，或顺序或倒序。但是在考试中一般不出现单纯的叙述文，因为单纯的叙述文比较简单、易懂。 所以中考中的叙述文大多是夹叙夹议的文章。这类文章的基本结构模式是： ①一段概括性的话引入要叙述的经历(话题) ②叙述先前的经历及其感悟或发现 ③叙述接下来的经历及其感悟或发现 ④做出总结或结论 2）、说明文（描述文）说明文的一般结构模式和叙述文的结构模式有相通之处即：提出问题（或以一个事例引出问题）---- 发现直接原因----- 分析深层原因-----得出结论或找到出路。知道了类似的文章结构特点，就可以据此来进行考题预测。比如，我们看出了该篇文章属于这种结构类型，就能判断出几个问题中肯定有一个要问原因，还有可能要出现推断题。
3）、议论文我们大家最容易辨认出来的议论文模式是主张---反主张模式。在这一模式中，作者首先提出一种普遍认可的观点或某些人认可的主张或观点，然后进行澄清，说明自己的主张或观点，或者说提出反主张或真实情况。议论文的这种结构特点决定了它的主要题型是作者观点态度题，文章主旨题以及推理判断题。 只要发现了这种结构特点，解答问题的主要任务就变成了到段落内找答案，基本上不存在任何困难。 2.题型 2.1 细节判断题 以原文中某一句话或某一个短语为入手点，考查学生对细节的理解。很多同学在做这种题目时比较喜欢在选项中寻找原文中的句子，但往往照抄原文的句子并不一定是正确选项。做这类题目时，应关注选项和原句的细微差别，选择与原文意思和所问问题都相符的答案。 2.2 单词释义或句意解释题 要求考生以上下文内容为参考，尝试理解文中出现的生词、短语或句子。这类题目的解题关键在于其上下文，因为在考查点前后出现的内容往往是对这个词的解释、说明、举例等。 2.3主旨大意题 如果是考查整篇文章的主旨大意，可以把文中每段的首句串起来考虑。若是仅考查某一段落的中心思想，则可将该段的首、尾句综合起来考虑。 2.4标题选择题
类文阅读-13 穷人 老人与海（节选） 海明威 鲨鱼快速靠近船尾，在袭击大鱼的时候，老人见它张开大嘴，眼睛怪怪的，牙齿咔嚓一声插进鱼尾上方的鱼肉。鲨鱼的头钻出水面，背也露了出来，老人听见鲨鱼撕开大鱼皮肉的声音，他把鱼叉猛地往下刺向鲨鱼头部，插进两眼之间那条线与从鼻子笔直往后的那条线的交点上。其实那些线是不存在的。只有厚重尖利的蓝色脑袋，巨大的眼睛，咔嚓作响、吞噬一切的攻击性的嘴巴。不过那是鱼脑所在，老人刺中了这个地方。他用血汁模糊的双手使出全身力气，把鱼叉结结实实地刺了进去。他刺的时候不抱希望，却带着决心和十足的恶意。 鲨鱼翻过身来，老人看见它的眼睛已没有了生气。随后鲨鱼又翻了个身，身上裹了两圈绳索。老人知道鲨鱼已经死了，但它不愿接受死亡。接着，鲨鱼肚皮朝天，甩动着尾巴，咯咯地咬着嘴巴，像一艘快艇似的破浪前进。尾巴击水的地方泛起了白色的水花，绳索绷紧了，颤抖着，最后断掉了。这时，鲨鱼四分之三的身体完全露出水面，在那儿静静地躺了一会儿，老人瞧着它。随后，鲨鱼慢慢地下沉了。 “它叼走了近四十磅肉。”老人大声说。还带走了我的鱼叉和全部的绳索，他想。现在我的大鱼又在淌血了，而且还会有其他鲨鱼来袭的。 大鱼被咬得不成样子，他不想再去看它了。鱼受到袭击时，仿佛他自己受到了袭击。 不过，攻击我那条鱼的鲨鱼被我给宰了，他想。我见到过的登土鲨就数它最大。上帝知道，我是见过大鲨鱼的。 好景不长，他想。我现在真希望这是一场梦，希望我根本没有钓到过这条鱼，希望独个儿在床上躺在报纸上。 “但是人不是为失败而生的，”他说，“一个人可以被毁灭，却不能被打败。”不过我还是 很难过，我竟宰了这条鱼，他想。 （选自《老人与海》，有改动）1.写出下列词语的反义词。 模糊——（）希望——（）恶意——（） 2.下列句子是比喻句的是（） A.鱼受到袭击时，仿佛他自己受到了袭击。 B.现在真希望这是一场梦，希望我根本没有钓到过这条鱼。 C.鲨鱼肚皮朝天，甩动着尾巴，咯咯地咬着嘴巴，像一艘快艇似的破浪前进。

（英语）英语阅读理解练习题及答案含解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Castle Dale is a small town in central Utah. My grandpa's farm is a few miles to the north. I grew up there. Milking a cow, feeding the chickens and cutting firewood were daily routines. Grandpa had me carrying a broom to do snow cleaning when it was actually taller than I was. This was the work kids like me learned to do at a young age. I was tall, very tall at a really young age. My unusual height caused people to look, ask questions, laugh, tease, and sometimes even challenge me to fight. I was teased cruelly as a kid. It wasn't fair, I knew, but that was just the way it was. Luckily, I was taught at a very young age a very important lesson. I am different and that's Okay—I'm unique and I matter. No one could ever take that away from me. I knew this then, and I know this now. That alone helped me through the frustrations and heartaches of normal life. When I was in junior high school, I realized something else that helped me cope. Most teasing came from one of two places—people who were either jealous or ignorant (愚昧). I couldn't change the way they were, but I could change the way I felt. I was not going to feel bad because of their ignorance or jealousy. It wasn't worth it. Realizing this didn't stop them, or change the fact that these comments hurt. It did, however, give me a way to understand these people and deal with their treatment in a way that was okay for me. These things still happen today. It will probably happen the rest of my life. I will always be 7 feet, 6 inches (2.29 meters) tall. I wouldn't change that for anything. People will always look because it is not every day that you see someone that tall. I learned that at a young age and I now try to teach my own children that they are unique and they matter. That is the message I give to you. Regardless of your race, religion, background, or circumstances ... Being different is okay. （1）The author mentioned his hometown to show us _______. A. he is from an ordinary family B. his grandpa is strict with him C. he loves this lovely small town D. he had to do a lot of labor work （2）The author was often teased because _______.

He accepted the fact of being different and let it go. B. He felt angry failing to change others' opinions. C. He felt hurt hearing people's negative comments. D.

阅读练习《生命的礼物》 那年，在美国考得驾驶执照，同时发给一张淡红色的小卡，卡上写着：按照统一的人体捐献法规，当我死之时，我作如下选择： a捐献我的任一器官和部件。、 b捐献我的心脏起搏器（植入日期为某年某月某日） c捐献下列部件和器官—— d不捐献我的任一器官部件和心脏起搏器。以下是亲笔签名和日期。 真新鲜！要是我母亲见了，一定大惊失色。美国人简直是疯子！她虽然不相信“来生转世”之类的说法，但刚领到驾驶执照就谈死，她会认为“不作兴”，再说捐献器官，把尸体弄得支离破碎，她会认为太残酷。不过，我在a项上作了选择，就是说，一旦发生意外而死亡，我愿意捐献我的任何一个器官和部件。我签上自己的大名，把卡贴在驾驶执照后面，并把“捐献者”三个字的小红点贴在驾驶执照正面。我端详这张驾驶执照，想象万一我遭不测，警察和救护人员赶到现场，翻开驾驶执照一眼就能看见“捐献者”三个字的小红点，就会立即拿我的器官去解救另一个垂危的生命……这是一份生命的礼物，赐予和被赐予都是一种幸福。美国大多数人都愿意做这种选择，我非常赞成这种做法。只是当时，我不曾将此事告诉母亲，怕她整天提心吊胆。 不久前，在一份杂志上看到一篇文章：一美国青年在一场车祸中不幸丧生，根据他生前的愿望，医生摘取了他身上所有的可供利用的器官，两只肾脏分别移植给当地和欧洲的两名肾功能衰竭者，心脏和肝脏分别移植给两名濒(bīn pín)临死亡的患者，两只眼球给两个失明者作了角膜移植。这位青年捐献的生命礼物，使四个垂死者重获新生，两个盲人重见光明。当记者访问这个青年的母亲时，她说，她为儿子的行为感到骄傲，同时她还感谢那些接受她儿子器官的人，他们使她儿子的一部分在他们体内存活，她儿子的生命以另一种形式得以延续；看到他们，就像看到自己的儿子！ 我把文章拿去读给我80岁的母亲听，她听了半晌(xiang shang)不说话，最后她缓缓地说这个母亲实在了不起只是我这样老的器官不知还能不能派上用场我激动得一把抱住她：“你真是我的好妈妈！” （1）给文章倒数第二自然段中缺标点的地方补上标点符号。 （2）在文中括号中选择字的正确读音。 （3）写出下列词语的反义词。 残酷（）延续（）激动（） （4）文中画横线的句子“我把卡贴在驾驶执照后面，并把‘捐献者’三个字的小红点贴在驾驶执照正面。”的原因是什么？ （5）文中画波浪线处“她儿子的生命以另一种形式得以延续”“另一种形式”是指 。 （6）倒数第二自然段中母亲的话“……只是我这样老的器官不知还能不能派上用场”的意思是什么？（3分） 经典阅读天天练2 《他要感谢那只手》 感恩节的前夕，美国芝加哥的一家报纸编辑部向一位小学女教师约稿，希望得到一些家境贫寒的孩子画的图画，图画的内容是：他想感谢的东西。

五年级阅读理解练习题（附答案）2012.06.30 《》 小群是个双目失明、失去母亲的苦孩子。他非常热爱这个世界，这都因为父亲就是小群的眼睛。 很小的时候，父亲让小群触摸柔软的凉凉的东西，说：“这是水，可以流动，长江、黄河和大海都是这样的水组成的，水多了便浩荡奔腾，可以发出震耳欲聋的声音。”不久，小群真的由父亲和父亲的一位朋友带到海边去玩，父亲还教会了小群游泳。 难度最大的是向小群解说颜色。小群生下来就面对着一个黑暗的世界，怎么让他理解这个世界的五光十色呢?比方给他解释红色：太阳就是红色的，它发光，能把黑夜变成白昼；它发热，在寒冷的冬天也能把人晒暖和。“我懂了，”小群说，“红色就是让人感到光亮和温暖！”“不全对。”父亲细致地解析，“血也是红色的，但它不会发出什么光来；人血也是温热的，鱼血却是冷的，但鱼血也是红色的。红色并不总同光和热联系在一起。”小群困惑了起来。父亲再作耐心的解析：“发热发光的是太阳，而不是红色；只是太阳能发光发热，同时又是红色的。红色只不过是有视力的人看到的一种颜色。”经过这样的循循善诱，小群才逐渐有所领悟。 以后，( )父亲也这样反复地给小群讲解天空的蓝色，大地的黄色，作物的绿色，( )小群却对同光和热有点联系的红色情有独钟。 渐渐地，小群觉得世界( )陌生黑暗的，( )熟悉多彩的。他懂得世界上有许多用不着看便能感受的事情。可是有一次，小群真生父亲的气了。那次，小群让父亲买个红色的米老鼠书包，当书包买回来小群背着上学的时候，一位阿姨赞赏地对小群说：“小群这个绿色书包可真漂亮！”小群回家便对父亲喊：“爸爸，我让您给我买红书包，您怎么给我买绿色的呢?您知道我看不见便骗我！”说着，小群便哭了起来。 父亲听了，愣住了，半天没吱声，过了好一会儿才为小群擦眼泪，说：“爸爸对不起你，小群……那天买书包时售货员说只剩一个米老鼠的书包，所以绿的也买下了……小群，爸爸是爱你的。”小群感到爸爸用他那慈爱的大手抚摸着自己的脸庞和头发，小群就在那一刻理解了爱！ 时光就这样慢慢地流过，小群读书的成绩越来越好，当小群学会了按摩、能够自食其力的时候，父亲却突发脑溢血去世了。父亲的匆匆离去让小群痛不欲生。小群想，今后谁还能做自己的眼睛呢? 然而，就在给父亲开追悼会的时候，小群听到了一句话，这句话犹如红太阳的光芒照亮了小群的一生。一位叔叔在追悼父亲时说：“他从来没有放弃过追求和奋斗，他对身边的人充满爱心，作为一位双目失明的人，他让我们每一个结识他的人都从他身上汲取了力量和勇气……” 就在这一刹那，父亲对生活、对自己的那份热爱和勇气仿佛一下子全贯注在了自己的身上。“父亲呀，”他默默地祈祷，“我会长出一双明亮的眼睛的，就在我的心上！”
