During the two and a half years since I settled down in Germany, I've caught a cold several times and gotten to experience how different German cold remedies (疗法）are from the Chinese ones.
Back in Taiwan, whenever I had a streaming nose and a dry throat, I'd rush to the hospital to get prescribed medicine. For a fever, I would receive a red pill, which I now know is a type of antibiotic (抗生素).
Another thing I know now is that the criminal behind my cold is a virus. The drugs I used only relieved the symptoms. When I went to a German hospital intending to get some medicine to treat my cold, I got nothing more than a pat on my shoulder and words from the doctor, saying that I should get some really good rest. The first time this happened, I was shocked. I wondered how I could put up with my sickness without the help of medicine. But the longer I stayed in Germany, the better I knew how to self-medicate as other Germans do.
I learned to take vitamin C to build up my resistance. But what I like the most is drinking “Erkaltungstee”. For German people, Erkaltungstee is what their grandmother gives them whe n they catch a cold. It’s a tea bag mainly made of lime flower and orange rind. Another popular cold remedy in Germany is chicken soup. During my first winter in Germany, I got a really bad cold. My neighbor brought me a bowl of chicken soup to make me feel better. It contained a lot of ginger, onion, garlic, carrots and celery. Germans believe these ingredients are perfect for helping your body recovers.
25. How did the author feel after seeing the German doctor?
A. Relieved.
B. Surprised.
C. Satisfied.
D. Stressed.
26. According to the author, what effect do antibiotics have on his cold?
A. They cure his cold.
B. They prevent the disease.
C. They kill the virus in him.
D. They make him feel better.
27. What do Germans think of "Erkaltungstee"?
A. It can replace any cold remedy.
B. It can build up one’s resistance.
C. It's a good way to self-medicate.
D. It’s better than chicken soup.
28. What can we infer from the text?
A. Germans tend not to use antibiotics to treat cold.
B. The author often catches a cold in Taiwan.
C. The author seldom drinks chicken soup.
D. German doctors are cold to patients.
C
Shopping centers, stadiums and universities may soon have a new tool to help fight crime.
A California company called Knightscope says its robots can predict and prevent crime. Knightscope says the goal is to reduce crime by half in areas the robots guard.
William Santana 1J is the chief executive officer of Knightscope. He says, “Thew robot s ecurity guards will change the world. Our planet has seven billion people on it. It' s going to quickly get to nine billion people. The security equipment that we have globally is just not going to develop that fast. The company' s Autonomous Data Machines can become the eyes and ears of law enforcement (执行）".
“You want it to he machines plus humans. Let the machines do the heavy and sometimes dangerous work and let the humans do the strategic decision -making work, so it's always working all together."
The machines are one and a half meters tall and weigh 136 kilograms. They do not carry weapons hul they have day and night time video cameras which are able to turn 360 degrees and can also sense chemical and biological weapons.
Some people may become concerned about their privacy, especially in connection with I he video recordings. Some people may worry that such recordings will appear on the Internet. Eugene V olokh, a law professor at the University of California, says the machines have to be used in the right way and il will be interesting to see how state laws deal with this kind of video.
William Santana Li says there is a long waiting list for the robots in the US. Workers in the company are working overtime to meet the demands of the market. Al least 25 other countries are also interested in these robotic security guards.
29. What can this new tool do for humans?
A. Make strategic decisions.
B. Keep watch day and night.
C. Carry heavy weapons.
D. Stop crimes autonomously.
30. Why are people worried?
A. Their privacy may be let out.
B. The robots are very expensive.
C. Robots will replace humans.
D. They will be out of work soon.
31. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

D
All hotels are restored periodically. However, few do it as frequently as Sweden’s Icehotel. Located in a
remote village of Sweden, the hotel is constructed entirely from ice and therefore, has to be rebuilt annually.
The 26-year-old tradition began accidentally in 1989 when locals organized an art exhibition to attract winter visitors. Among the tourists was an adventurous group that announced their intention of spending the night in the building where the exhibition was being held. That' s when the idea of building the icy accommodations occurred to the locals.
Each year, the preparations begin in March and the construction starts in November. Within eight to twelve weeks, Icehotel is ready to welcome its first visitors until mid-April. After that, the beautiful structure will slowly melt into one giant pool.
Among this year's unique suite (套房）offerings is the "Elephant in the Room." It features a 3-metre tall sculpted elephant overlooking an ice-framed bed. For those seeking something more cutting-edge, there are ones themed after a Swedish horror film and local fairytales. To get a good night' s rest，guests have to snuggle inside their sleeping bags with gloves and hats on. Though that seems a little uncomfortable, visitors say it is an experience like none other.
The hotel also features a beautifully crafted ice church where over 100 couples will get married this year and an Ice Bar that will serve drinks in glasses carved from ice. Though dining options are limited to the hotel' s only restaurant, guests will have little to complain about with Michelin-trained chef Alexander Meier in charge. To keep customers entertained, the hotel offers a lot of fun activities like snowshoeing, dog sledding, and even overnight wilderness camping.
32. What makes the Icehotel special?
A. It is located in a remote village.
B. It holds an art exhibition annually.
C. It is entirely built from ice.
D. It offers different theme suites.
33. How long is Icehotel in service every year?
A. About one month.
B. About three months.
C. About half a year.
D. About a whole year.
34. What does the underlined word "cutting-edge" in paragraph four probably mean?
A. Thrilling.
B. Beautiful.
C. Frustrating.
D. Peaceful.
35. What can visitors do while staying in the Icehotel?
A. Learn to sculpt animals from ice.
B. Have dinner in a restaurant nearby.
C. Hold wedding ceremonies there.
D. Watch Swedish horror movies.

Learning to set goals plays an important role as your child starts to gain independence. However, setting goals doesn’t come naturally to your child, so helping him to learn the process should probably be one of your goals.
Explain the word “goal”. Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer, but he may not understand what it means in everyday life. 36
Listen to your child. Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are.____37_______ Let him talk about what he thinks he does well and what he thinks needs to improve. If he's stuck, you can provide some examples of your own personal goals.
Help keep goals achievable. Don't throw cold water on your child. ______38_____ For example, if your child wants to be a champion swimmer, but can’t swim an entire lap of the pool yet, you can suggest he start by making that his first goal.
39 Help your child write down his goals in an easy-to-follow form. Being able to see and check off the steps on the way to his goal is key in keeping him motivated. A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs (横木）.40
A. Change goals every so often.
B. Make a visual goal reminder.
C. Don’t always tell him what you think.
D. He’s climbing to the top as he gets closer lo his goal.
E. You can take sports as example to help explain it to him.
F. Once he has set up a goal，he may find it very difficult to achieve it.
G. When a goal is beyond his reach, help him break it down into smaller pieces.

Dear Nancy,
I’m so glad to receive your invitation to your lecture in the city library. I’d much like to learn something about American customs and culture, but a friend of mine is coming to pay me a visit, and since this is the first time he has come here, I will have to meet him at the railway station at 7:00 p.m. next Saturday. It’s really a pity that I can’t make it to communicate with you face to face, and I’m sorry for that.
Anyway, I’m fairly grateful to you for the kind invitation. If there is another chance in future, I will try every possible means to learn from you.
Yours

高中英语检测试题(三) 第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分50分。) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分。) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中（A、B、C和D），选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want. It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks．Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide. Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home. My first ride home was orderly．To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully. Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck. I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive. 21. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today? A．Because they are traditional and safe. B．Because they are convenient and inexpensive. C．Because they are colorful and available. D．Because they are fast and environment friendly. 22. The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ________． A．to ride it for fun B．to use it for transport C．to experience local culture D．to improve his riding skills 23.How did the author feel about his street crossing? A．It was boring. B．It was difficult. C．It was lively. D．It was wonderful. 24. Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience? A．The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills. B．The author was annoyed by the air while riding. C．The author was praised by the other bikers. D．The author took great pleasure in biking. B A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”However, that's not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn't matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves-the positive and negative effects are just as lasting. We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We're usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. But we really shouldn't be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This self-talk helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Beware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying, “Good job !”
新高考英语模拟试卷（一） 一、阅读理解（每小题2分，满分40分） 第一节、（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A For the business traveler who's all about efficiency: check out these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum trouble. When you're pressed for time on a business trip, nothing can infuriate you more than a slow hotel check-in process. On your next trip, try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process. ◆Marriott Detroit Airport Another option for business travelers in a hurry: Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325 hotels this year, including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel. (I've tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet.) here is the basic idea: you download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in”virtually. When you arrive, you get an alert that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk. ◆Hyatt Regency Minneapolis I happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works. The kiosk asks you to insert your credit card, similar to an airport terminal. The whole process took about 3 minutes. When I left, I was equally impressed with the fast check-out: An agent meets you in the lobby with, an iPad and asks for an email to use for a receipt. The big advantage: you never have to wait in line. ◆Radisson LaCrosse The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster. At a few select hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin，you use a mobile app to register and then receive a bar code by email or text. When you get to the kiosk, you can scan the bar code to get your key without any other steps required. It's super fast. You can find this new check-in system at the Radisson hotels in Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Phoenix as well. 1.What does the word ‘infuriate', in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A.annoy B.remind C.amuse D.impress

To be honest, I have the same experience as you. But you have to know that procrastination is the thief of time. The following advice may help you overcome it soon. The most effective means to solve this problem is that you can make a “to do” list. For example, you can write “Finish home work before Saturday night”on your plan. If you manage to finish it, you can reward yourself. Otherwise, punish yourself. What’s more, you can find a person to remind you to finish your work efficiently from time to time. Different people have different efficient times. But it doesn’t matter what time it is. Just don’t waste time, following the schedule strictly. Last but not the least, do it now, just from now. In a word, don't spoil yourself. Although you have a long way to go, the first step is very essential. Good luck! Yours, Abby 书面表达 一、评分原则 1．本题总分为25分，按5个档次给分。 2．评分时，先根据文章内容和语言初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来衡量，确定或调整档次，最后给分。 4

I’m so organized, my half of the closet could be a display at The Container Store. My h usband’s half of the closet? Ju st thinking about it made my head ache. I carried my suitcase downstairs. Bill was in the kitchen cooking. Looking at the messy kitchen, I shouted, “Why do you have to be so messy?” Bill looked hurt, “What?” I sighed and left for the airport. On my last flight, an elderly couple had the seats in my section. They held hands during takeoff. Later I caught them looking into each other’S eyes. Something about that look was familiar. Then I realized: it was the look Bill and I had worn in our wedding photographs. I couldn’t resist asking them about the secret of their long-lasting marriage. “Have fun together”，the man said, “and never take each other for granted.” Her words circled in my head long after we landed. Bill wasn’t perfect. But then, was I? I kept complaining about his messiness and forgot his kindness, his ability to see the bright side of every situation 一qualities that ran so much deeper, the reasons I had married him in the first place. I took out my cell phone and called Bill. “I miss you already.” I said. “I miss you too, Kim，” he said. As soon as my flights were over, I rushed home. Bill met me at the door. “I have a surprise for you.” he said and led me into the kitchen. I glanced around the room. He really had worked hard. In spite of the fingerprints on that microwave door, I could see our reflection in it: my husband and I, our smiles glowing with love for each other, just like in our wedding photos. 1. Why did Kim get so angry with her husband? A. She found his weaknesses one morning. B. Sh e didn’t love him any more. C. He left things in an untidy state. D. He turned a deaf ear to her complaints. 2.What’s special about the old couple? A. They never quarreled with each other. B. They often made fun of each other. C. They kept their love so fresh. D. They took each other for granted. 3..Kim changed her attitude towards her husband after _____.

A. Love You, Love Your Mess B. Love is Blind, Love is Messy C The Wedding Photos D. A Loving Old Couple B The Year in Miracles: Inspirational Quotes These miracle (奇迹）stories inspired us with their heroes, amazing acts of kindness, and moments of grace. ?Walking home from work as a New York City bus driver, Stephen St. Bernard, 52，heard screaming and saw seven-year-old Keyla McCree standing on top of an air-conditioning unit outside the window of her third-floor apartment. He rushed over in time to catch the child as she fell the 25 feet. The force of the lifesaving catch tore a tendon (腱）in St. Bernard’s shoulder; the
