April 27 is Take Our Daughters to Work Day in Britain.Started at first in the United States and brought to Britain in 1994，Take Our Daughters to Work Day has become a special day for girls between 11 and 15.On that day thousands of girls take a day off school and go together with one of their parents to their work places.The purpose of this day is to broaden girls' horizons and raise their self-confidence.
For many years people have thought that boys can do better than girls in society.But actually，“girls can be whatever they want to be just like boys，whether it is a pilot，a nurse or a chief executive，”says the chairman of the Our Sons and Daughters Charitable Trust，an organization which supported the activity of the Day.“Now the girls have a close look at what their parents are doing and this may help them to be more self-confident when they are faced with a choice of work.”
Schools and many companies support the activity too.Palmers' Green High School for girls，in North London，has made the day necessary part of career education.
Zarina Bart,15，from Pahners' Green，went with her mother to her Lawyer's office this year's Take Our Daughters to Work Day.She found it interesting to see her mother at work.“It's really strange seeing Mum at work—running around，getting serious and telling people what to do.”She has always liked this idea of going into law and thinks it likely that：she will follow in her mother's footsteps.Having a chance to see how her mother works has g iven her more self-confidence.
Experts believe that girls with higher self-confidence aim higher and are more likely to be successful in life.Parents have most important effect on the confidence of teenage girls.If parents believe in their daughters and show examples at work as well as at home for them，this will give a lot of help to girls.Take Our Daughters to Work Day is surely a step in the right direction.

There is a brown female Canadian duck that weighs only four hundred fifty grams.The duck had flown to the southern state of Florida for the winter.A hunter shot it on January fifteenth and took it to his home in the city of Tallahassee.He put it in the refrigerator.Two days later the man's wife opened the refrigerator door.The duck lifted its head and looked at her.It was alive!
The family took the duck to a doctor who treats animals.The doctor gave the duck to the Goose Creek Animal Sanctuary.Animal sanctuaries provide homes for animals and teach people about their care.
The doctor said it was easy to understand why people thought the duck was dead.He said ducks generally do not move a lot，especially after being shot.And he said its low body temperature helped it survive in the refrigerator.
That was enough to make the duck famous around the world.The Tallahassee newspaper published the story that was re-printed in many different countries.But that was not the end of the story.
Workers at the wildlife sanctuary named the duck Perky.And they arranged for the doctor to perform an operation to repair the duck's damaged wing.During the operation，Perky stopped breathing—not just once but twice.The doctor tried to save Perky by giving her oxygen through a face mask.But he finally said the duck had died.A few seconds later，however，Perky began to move.Reports say the people in the operating room were so happy that they cried.
Workers at the wildlife sanctuary say Perky will not have any more operations.It seems she had a bad reaction to the drugs that were used.Perky is expected to live
at the sanctuary.And a local company has begun to sell T-shirts showing a picture of the lucky duck.Money from the sale of the shirts will help pay for Perky's care.

Bernard Jackson is a free man today, but he has many bitter memories. Jackson spent five years in prison after a jury wrongly convicted（宣判有罪）him of raping two women. At Jackson's trial, although two witnesses testified that Jackson was with them in another location at the times of the crimes, he was convicted anyway. Why? The jury believed the testimony（证词）of the two victims, who positively identified Jackson as the man who had attacked them. The court eventually freed Jackson after the police found the man who had really committed the crimes.
Many factors influence the accuracy of eyewitness testimony. For instance，witnesses sometimes see photographs of several suspects before they try to identify the person they saw in a lineup of people. They can become confused by seeing many photographs of similar faces. The number of people in the lineup, and whether it is a live lineup or a photograph, may also affect a witness' decision. People sometimes have difficulty identifying people of other races. The questions the police ask witnesses also have an effect on them.
Many people believe that police officers are more reliable than ordinary people.Psychologists decided to test this idea, and they discovered that it is not true. Two psychologists showed a film of crimes to both police officers and civilians （百姓）. The psychologists found no difference between the police and the civilians in correctly remembering the details of the crimes.
Despite all the possibilities for inaccuracy, courts cannot refuse eyewitness testimony from a trial. American courts depend almost completely on eyewitness testimony to resolve court cases. Sometimes it is the only evidence to a crime, such as rape. Furthermore, eyewitness testimony is often correct. Although people do sometimes make mistakes, many times they really do identify individuals correctly.
American courts depend on the ability of the twelve jurors（陪审员）, and not the judges, to determine the accuracy of the witness' testimony. It is their responsibility to decide if a certain witness could actually see, hear, and remember what occurred.
In a few cases the testimony of eyewitnesses has convicted innocent people.More importantly, it has rightly convicted a larger number of guilty people；consequently, it continues to be of great value in the American judicial system.
【文章大意】本文讲述了伯纳德·杰克逊虽然有目击者的证词证明其清白，但其仍然被受害人一口咬定为强奸犯，因此伯纳德·杰克逊被法庭定罪。然而，事实证明伯纳德·杰克逊是被冤枉的。作者由此引出文章的主题，即主要介绍了目击者的证词在美国法庭审判中的重要作用。
11．Bernard Jackson was found guilty by the jury because ______.
A．the police discovered evidence leading to his guilt
B．the eyewitnesses confirmed the victims' testimony
C．the victims insisted that he was the attacker
D．the judge believed in the victims' identification
答案：C
解析：根据文章第一段倒数第二句“The jury believed the testimony（证词）of the two victims，who positively identified Jackson as the man who had attacked them.”可知，伯纳德·杰克逊被定罪，是因为两个受害者坚持说是伯纳德·杰克逊袭击了她们。故选C项。
12．An eyewitness' testimony is sometimes inaccurate because ______.
A．he lacks the professional help from the police
B．he has a small number of suspects in the lineup
C．he is of the same race as the suspect
D．he is shown photos of many similar faces
答案：D
解析：根据文章第二段前三句“Many factors influence the accuracy of eyewitness testimony.For instance，witnesses sometimes see photographs of several suspects before they try to identify the person they saw in a lineup of people.They can become confused by seeing many photographs of simila r faces.”可知，A、B、C三项均不符合文意，只有D项符合文意。故选D项。
13．Eyewitness testimony is vital because ______.
A．it is sometimes the only way to resolve court cases
B．it can be relied on to detect criminals in all cases
C．it is sometimes the only clue for police investigation
D．it is more reliable than physical evidences to a crime
答案：A
解析：根据文章第四段第二、三句“American courts depend almost completely on eyewitness testimony to resolve court cases.Sometimes it is the only evidence to a crime，such as rape.”可知，目击者的证词非常重要，因为它有时候是解决官司的唯一途径。故选A项。
14．An inaccurate eyewitness testimony may lead to______.
A．the disrespect for the eyewitness
B．the conviction of an innocent person
C．the refusal of the case
D．the disbelief in the court
答案：B
解析：根据文章最后一段第一句“In a few cases the testimony of eyewitnesse s has convicted innocent people.”可知，不准确的目击者证词可能冤枉无辜的人。故选B项。
15．From the text we know that ______.
A．crime victims often fail to give positive identification of the suspects B．the jury relies more on the judge than on the eyewitness for a decision C．police identification is more reliable than that of the ordinary people D．eyewitness testimony plays an essential part in the U．S. court trial
答案：D
解析：通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了目击者的证词在美国法庭审判中的重要作用。D项最符合文章的主旨大意，故选D项。
D
It is pretty much a_one-way_street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction Pay has always been the biggest deterrent,_as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia（学术界）outweigh any financial considerations.
Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects （指望）of a commercial return, and Lee's is one of them.
The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical（制药的）company before returning to university as a post-doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities.
Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand or scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make
the transition （转换）to academia more attractive，according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary（多学科的）team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product de velopment. “Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.”
【文章大意】本文主要讲述了很少有企业科学家会离职到大学里去教书，最大的一个原因就是大学里的收入低，而且收入还呈下降的趋势。但是企业科学家把学术看得比金钱更重。如果企业科学家到大学教书的话，其会增强毕业生在就业市场上的竞争力。
16．By“a one-way street”（ParA．1）,the author means ______.
A．university researchers know little about the commercial world
B．there is little exchange between industry and academia
C．few university professors are willing to do industrial research
D．few industrial scientists would quit to work in a university
答案：D
解析：根据文章第一段第一、二句“It is pretty much a one-way stree t. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world，there is very little traffic in the opposite direction.”以及最后一句“For some industrial scientists，however，the attractions of academia（学术界）outweigh any financial cons iderations.”可知，a one-way street意为“很少有企业科学家会离职到大学工作”。故选D项。
17．The word “deterrent”（ParA．1）most probably refers to something that ______.
A．attracts people's attention
B．helps to move the traffic
C．keeps someone from taking action
D．brings someone a financial burden
答案：C
解析：根据上下文语境可知，薪水一直都是企业科学家采取行动的最大障碍。所以此处的deterrent应该意为“阻止某人采取行动事物”。故选C项。
18．What was Helen Lee's major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career?
A．Her research interests.
B．Flexible work hours.
C．Her preference for the lifestyle on campus.
D．Prospects of academic accomplishments.
答案：A
解析：根据文章第二段最后两句“Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions.Some areas of inquiry have few prospects（指望）of a commercial return，and Lee's is one of them.”可知，当海伦·李在事业中期换工作的时候，她主要考虑的是她的研究兴趣。故选A项。
19．Guy Grant chose to work as researcher at Cambridge in order to ______.
A．do financially more rewarding work
B．exploit better intellectual opportunities
C．enrich his experience in medical research
D．raise his status in the academic world
答案：B
解析：根据文章第三段最后一句“He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities.”可知，盖·格兰特选择在剑桥大学工作是为了寻求更好的发展机会。故选B项。
20．What contribution can industrial scientists make when they come to teach in a university?
A．Help it to obtain financial support from industry.
B．Turn its research towards practical applications.
C．Increase its graduates' competitiveness in the job market.
D．Develop its students' potential in research.
答案：C
解析：根据文章最后一段中的“Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not，such as how to build a multidisciplinary（多学科的）team，manage budgets and negotiate contracts.They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate，says Lee，perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development.”可知，企业科学家如果在大学教书的话，其会增强毕业生在就业市场上的竞争力。故选C项。

That might be worth some money. ” Peter examined the box, and, sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic.

People like something rare.” Peter agreed, “I can’t imagine there being very many unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years lat er.” “Don’t forget to tell me if you sell it.” the salesgirl smiled. “No problem.” Peter said. After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game. But he couldn’t fin d it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit Search. The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he had. Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop. “Hello. Do you still remember the unopened word game?” The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, “Oh, hi!” “I’ve got something for you,” Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000. Thank you for your suggestion.” He handed her three $ 100 bills. “Wow!” the salesgirl cried out. “Thank you,I never expected it.” 26. Which of the following best describes Peter’s word game? A.

Nick’s guests, 5 had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could.

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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Why must we pay taxes? The answer is that the government needs money for many things, for example to pay its soldiers, sailors and airmen, to build roads, bridges, offices, schools, etc, and to buy goods from abroad; and only the people of the country can supply the money. One of the most important taxes is income-tax which a person pays according to the amount of his income-tax. Whether he is a merchant, a doctor, a lawyer, a shopkeeper, a miner, or anything else. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money direct to the government. Another tax is paid on goods such as watches, jewellery, new clothes, tobacco, wine, etc, when they are brought into a country, such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops. We call it “indirect”tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeeper. People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on things that they and their families need. We need policemen to catch thieves, to see that men obey the laws, to direct traffic, etc, and they must be paid what they earn; children need education and there must be schools and teachers; we want our streets to be kept clean, and the wages of men who do this kind of work have to be paid. Above all, the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies, and we cannot have an army without paying for it. Taxes, therefore, cannot be avoided. We buy our own food and clothes and pay for our own amusements; but, there are several things that the State finds the money for, and that are necessary for us if our society is to continue. We have no real cause to complain, therefore, when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the good of ourselves and for our fellow-citizens. 56. Indirect tax means . A. tax that one pays directly to the government B. tax that is not paid directly to the government C. tax that is paid as an extra amount added to the price of certain goods D. both B and C 57. Which of the following is right? A. Taxes are paid to the sellers. B. Income-tax is an indirect tax. C. The tax on new clothes is paid in money direct to the government. D. Tax is amount of money that you pay to the government for public services. 58. People have no real reason to complain about having to pay taxes because . A. some shopkeepers are very rich B. they need money to buy goods from abroad C. their children need education D. the money is spent on things that they and their families need 59. “Taxes cannot be avoided”means . A. people have to pay taxes to the government B. you do not have to pay tax on some goods C. soldiers do not have to pay taxes D. all goods have to be taxed
高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案含解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Average humans can consume 15 or more drinks in plastic bottles a month. If you were born after 1978, and live until 80 years old, you will leave behind a minimum of 14,400 plastic bottles on this planet. These bottles take hundreds of years to break down into tiny pieces of plastic, never to completely disappear. Most of the waste is consumed by fish and birds, which has shortened their lifetime greatly. The Plastic Bottle Village is just a great idea that might finally save us from being buried in plastic. It's a community in Panama that is going to be made of used bottles. The design process begins with building steel frames, which are then filled with these bottles. Once this step is complete, and electrical and plumbing (管道装置) lines are put inside, the plastic walls are covered by concrete—both inside and outside. So no one will actually be able to tell that the walls are made of plastic. Besides, the material will keep the house 17°C cooler than the outside, which is the biggest benefit to people living inside. The village is the brainchild (主意) of Robert Bezeau with the intention of setting up several environmental projects. Having started a recycling program four years ago, during which a number of plastic bottles were collected, he started to think of how they could be put to use. Soon enough, he decided to use them to build houses, and came up with a basic idea for the construction process. The project hopes to make people conscious of the waste that these bottles create so that they can do more to protect the environment. The village will also create an education center that will teach individuals from the world how to reuse plastic bottles as construction materials for shelter. Recycled bottles could neutralize the negative effect of your passage on this planet, and move closer to leaving only your “footprints”. （1）What does Paragraph 1 intend to tell us? A. The reason for buying fewer drinks. B. The difficult situation of wildlife. C. The amount of plastic waste. D. The seriousness of plastic pollution. （2）What is the biggest benefit to people living in the Plastic Bottle Village? A. The house will be much cooler than normal ones. B. The material of construction will be reduced a lot. C. The newly-made house can save a lot of electricity. D. The waste of the house can be consumed by fish and birds. （3）Which of the following words can best describe Robert? A. Creative. B. Courageous. C. Enthusiastic. D. Sensitive.（4）The main purpose of Robert's projects is to A. provide shelter for locals B. reuse all deserted plastic bottles C. popularize the use of plastic bottles D. raise people's environmental awareness 【答案】（1）D （2）A

高考英语语法填空技巧与方法 高考语法填空题究竟考什么？怎么考？请看下面的研究结果吧。只有数据事实最具说服力。 1.考什么？ 根据此表，我们知道，语法填空的考点或考查内容是： (1)纯空格题：通常考冠词、介词、代词和连词等四类词。 (2)用括号中所给词填空：通常考谓语动词的时态和语态、非谓语动词、形容词和副词的比较等级、词类转换等。 解题高招 1. 通读全文，把握大意。 既然是通过语篇在语境中考语法，那么，我们在解题前，应快速浏览短文，把握全文大意，这一步非常重要。 2. 结合语境，试填空格。 读懂短文之后，要结合短文所提供的特定的语言环境，从句子结构的完整性去分析思考空格所缺单词的词性，再根据句子的结构和意义，以及句子之间的逻辑关系来确定具体要填的单词和所给词的正确形式。具体来说，可按设题类型分为三类情况： (1)纯空格试题的解题技巧。 首先，分析句子结构，确定填哪类词。然后，再根据句子的意思，确定具体填什么词；或根据两句间的逻辑关系确定具体用哪个连词。确定填哪类词有以下7个技巧： 技巧1：缺主语或宾语，一定是填代词或名词(多考代词)。如：
[例1]I can send a message to Kenya whenever I want to, and ___38___ gets there almost in a second. 技巧2：名词前面，若没有限定词(冠词、形容词性物主代词、不定代词)，很可能是填限定词。[例2]It is said that a short-tempered man in the Song Dynasty was very anxious to help ___33___rice crop grow up quickly. [例3]…the head of the village was tying up his horse to my car to pull it to ___35___ small town some 20 kilometers away where there was a garage. 技巧3：句子不缺主语、表语、动词后不缺宾语的情况下，名词或代词前面，一定是填介词。[例4]…who should have the honour of receiving me ___33___ a guest in their house. 技巧4：若两个或几个单词或短语之间没有连词，可能是填连词。 [例5]…two world-famous artists, Pablo Picasso ___34Candido Portinari, which are worth millions of dollars. [例6]…all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just melted me ___36___almost instantly gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about. (2008年深圳一模) 技巧5：若两句(一个主谓关系算一个句子)之间没有连词，也没有分号或句号，一定是填并列连词或从属连词。 [例7] I wanted to see as much of the city as possible in the two days ___32___I was to return to Guangzhou. [例8] He was very tired after doing this for a whole day, ___37___he felt very happy…(2008年广东高考) 技巧6：若结构较完整，空格后的谓语动词是原形，特别是与上下文时态不一致或主谓不一致时，很可能是填情态动词或表示强调或倒装的助动词(do, does, did等)。 [例9]What is acceptable in one country ___31___be considered extremely rude in another. [例10] He had no time or energy to play with his children or talk with his wife, but he ______ bring home a regular salary. 技巧7：由特殊的句式结构来判断空格应填的词。 (1)由it is…that…强调结构形式，判断填it还是that。如： [例11] …and ___40was only after I heard she became sick that I learned she couldn’t eat MSG (味精)! (2)由倒装句式判断，是填构成倒装的条件的only, so, neither, nor, never, hardly, seldom, not, until, had等，还是填do, does, did等。如： [例12] ______with hard work can you expect to get pay rise. (3)由it作形式主语或形式宾语的句式判断，空格处是否填it。如： [例13] …as ___32___took them just three minutes to steal paintings by two world-famous artists…[例14]Dating sites also make ___36___easy to avoid someone whom you are not interested in. (4)so /such…that…句型。如： [例15] This made the goat so jealous ___34___it began plotting against (谋划对付) the donkey. (5)more…than…(与其说……不如说……，比……更……)句型。如： [例16]Cynthia’s story shows vividly that people remember more how much a manager cares ___40___ how much he pays. (2) 给出了动词的试题的解题技巧 首先，判断要填的动词是谓语动词还是非谓语动词。然后按以下两点进行思考。 技巧8：若句中没有别的谓语动词，或者虽然已有谓语动词，但需填的动词与之是并列关系时，所给动词就是谓语动词；若是谓语动词，就要考虑时态语态。 [例17]His fear of failure ___36___ (keep) him from classroom games that other children played with joyous abandon. [例18] That was definitely not an attractive idea so I politely declined her Invitation, ___40___ (close) my book and walked away. [例19] In Logan, three people ___38___ (take)to a hospital, while others were treated at a local clinic. 技巧9：若句中已有谓语动词，又不是并列谓语时，所给动词就是非谓语动词。若是非谓语动词就要确定用—ing形式、—ed形式，还是用不定式形式，确定的方法主要有： (1)作主语或宾语，通常用—ing形式表示习惯或一般情况，用不定式表示具体的情况。如：
（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol （2）What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. （3）Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. （4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】（1）A
