seated，Julia，”I said，“Let’s settle our accounts.I guess youmost likely need some money，but maybe you’re too polite to mention it.Now then，we agreed on thirty dol lars a month...”“Forty.”“No，thirty.I made a note of it.I always pay our governess thirty.Well，um，you’ve been here for two months，so...”“Two months and five days.”“Exactly two months.I made a special note of it.That means you have sixty dollars coming to you.Take nine Sundays off...you know you didn’t work with Tom on Sundays，and you only took walks.And three holidays...”Julia was biting her fingernail nervously，her face red，but，not a word.“Three holidays，therefore take twelve dollars off your pay.Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons，as you were occupied only with Dick.Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch.Twelve and seven makes nineteen.Take nineteen off...that leaves，hmm...forty­one dollars.Correct？”Julia’s left eye reddened with tears welling up.Her chin trembled，and she coughed nervously and blew her nose，but still not a word.“Around New Year’s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer；take two dollars off your pay.The cup cost more，because it was a treasure of the family，but forget it.Then，due to your neglect(疏忽)，Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket；take away ten.Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick’s shoes.You ought to watch everything！You get paid for it.So，that means five more dollars off.The tenth of January I gave you ten dollars.”“You didn’t.”sobbed Julia.“But I made a note of it.”“Well...if you say so.”“Take twenty­seven from forty­one，and that leaves fourteen.”Both her eyes were filled with tears.Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose.Poor girl!“Only once was I given any money，”she whispered，her voice trembling，“and that was by your wife.Three dollars，nothing more.”“Really？You see now，and I didn’t know that！Take three from fourteen and it leaves eleven.He re’s your money，my dear.Three，three，three，one and one.Here it is！”I handed her eleven dollars.She took them and pocketed them.“Merci(Thanks)，”she whispered.I jumped to my feet and started pacing the floor.I was overcome with anger.“For what，this ‘merci’？”I asked.“For the money.”“But you know I’ve cheated you—robbed you！I have actually stolen from you！Why this ‘merci’？”“In my other places they didn’t give me anything at all.”“They didn’t give you anything？No wonder！I played a little joke on you，a cruel lesson，just to teach you...I’m going to give you all the eighty dollars！Here they are in the envelope all ready for you...Is it really possible to be so spineless(懦弱)？Why didn’t you protest？Why were you silent？Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws(爪)—to besuch a fool？”Embarrassed，she smiled.And I could read her expression，“It is possible.”I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and，to her great surprise，gave her the eighty dollars.She murmured her little “merci”several times and w ent out.I looked at her and thought，“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world！”16．While talking to Julia，the writer expected________from her.A．a protest B．gratitude C．obedience D．an explanation17．What shocked the writer was Julia’s________.A．nervousness in front of her bossB．acceptance of injusticeC．shyness when talking about moneyD．reluctance to express herself18．The writer

rightD．to live independently19．At the end of the story，the writer said，“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world！”to show________.A．his understanding of Julia’s anxietyB．his worry about Julia’s

lateautumn can be a season of gloom anddepression.Spirits can be low.Peopl e who suffer from “the autumn blues” are often extremely exhausted，lack energy，need more sleep，feel increased appetite and gain weight.“The exact cause of this condition，often called seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder(SAD)，is not known yet，” says Chen Jue，associate professor at Shanghai Mental Health Center.“But recent studies indicate that weather change is influential and strongly suggest that this conditionis caused by changes in the availability of sunlight.”One theory is that with decreased exposure to sunlight，the biological clock that regulates mood，sleep，and hormones is delayed，running more slowly in winter.Exposure to light may reset the biological clock.Another theory is that brain chemicals that transmit information between nerves may be altered in individuals with SAD.It is believed that exposure to light can correct these imbalances.“It is a sad season，but you can try to make it happy.Remember，spring always lives in your heart，” Chen says.Here are some tips to deal with autumn depression.—Go outdoors and get some sunlight.Move around.Fresh air and exercise can improve the respiratory(呼吸) system and blood circulation and regulate the nervous system.Thus，exercise is calming and relieves one’s mood.—Relax at work.Stretch，breathe deeply.Take a tea break.Think of your next vacation.—Keep a chocolate bar in your pocket.Chocolate and sugar raise the spirits.—Look at bright colors，such as red and orange.Colour therapy improves mood.—Listen to your favorite music.You can dance to it，or just lie on a cozy couch，reading a novel.—Decorate your room and work space with flowers.Bloomingplants are cheering.—Call friends or family when you feel lonely or depressed.Recall

It's a glimpse of the future, according to famous British scientist Stephen Hawking.“I see great dangers for the human race，” he said in an interview with global forum Big Think. “There have been a number of times in the past when its survival has been a question of touch and go.”“I believe that the long-term future of the human race must be in space，” he said.“ It will be difficult enough to avoid disasters on planet Earth in the next hundred years, let alone the nextthousand, or million.”Hawking, who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom last year, has recently voiced many concerns about the future of life on Earth.“If aliens visited us, the outcome would be as much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans，”he said. “Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads (游牧民), looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach.”But Hawking says he's still hopeful for the future of humanity. He told Big Think, “We've made remarkable progress in the last hundred years. But if we want to continue beyond the next hundred years, our future is in space.”Getting to another planet will prove a challenge, not to mention colonizing it for humanity. Katherine Freese from University of Michigan told Big Think, “the nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri which is 4.2 light years away. That means, if you were traveling at the speed of light the whole time, it would take 4.2 years to get there —or about 50,000 years using current rocket science.”1．Humans are advised to abandon Earth mainly because ________.A．aliens will take up our home planet soonB．it was discussed in the forum Big ThinkC．many scientists like Hawking are concerned about itD．many disasters will happen on Earth2．Thinking about the future of humans, Hawking feels that ________.A．humans can't live on Earth any longerB．Earth will not be habitable for humansC．other planets are ready for humans to reachD．aliens are the biggest future threat to humans3．What is the writer's key point in the last paragraph?A．It is impossible to get to another planet in space.B．It is urgent for Hawking to develop the space science.C．The near future can't see human's move to another planet.D．The planet Proxima Centauri is far away from Earth.4．This passage is most probably taken from ________.A．a conference interviewB．a science fictionC．a history bookD．a forum reportⅢ.书面表达(2014·马鞍山高三质量检测)假设你叫王成。

earth's resources.Wewill have polluted our seas badly，and be unable to eat fish.We will have made the air so dirty that we will need to wear masks.The world's population will have doubled，and we will have used all the countryside for housing；there will be no farmland left.Other people believe that Man adapts very easily.They have a different idea of the future.How，in their views，will people be living in a hundred years' time?One architect believes that man will move off the land.He suggests that the city of the future will be a huge，pyramidshaped building，which will be floating on the surface of the sea.About 5,000 families will be living there，and the building will contain shops and schools as well as homes.By living on the sea，we will give the farmers more land to grow crops.As for oil，people will no longer need it：we will be heating our homes with power from the sun.And we will not be short of minerals，because there are plenty under our oceans.At the moment，we do not have the technology to get them out.But，in a hundred years' time，the optimists say，the new sea cities will be using these resources.What will be in the shops in the year 3,000？What will people be wearing？How will people be traveling?Scientists who make predictions about the future suggest that，by the year 3,000，shops will no longer puters will have replaced them；and people will order goods from home.People will be wearing very light，thin clothes.By this time，scientists will have invented a fabric that keeps us cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather.As for travel，the experts say that most people will be using public transport.Electric cars will be traveling through the streets day and night.Anybody will be able to stop one and use it.Unfortunately，we will not be there to see if these predictions come true.36．Pessimists believe that in the future ______.A．the seas and oceans will be full of housesB．we'll have used up all the resourcesC．we will not have enough fish to eat from the seasD．we will have polluted the air so badly that it will be impossible for us to breathe37．Optimists suggest that______.A．all the land will be too polluted to be cropped onB．pyramids will be the most commonlyused housesC．people will be using the power from the sun instead of oilD．we will be short of materials even though we get them from under the oceans 38．Scientists have made the predictions EXCEPT______.A．electric cars will be going along the streets continuouslyB．the resources under the oceans will never be used upC．people will order goods from homeD．people won't suffer from cold any longerBWhat picture do you have of the future？Will life in the future be better，worse or the same as now？What do you hope about the future?Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity，from entertainment to technology.First of all，it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050.Instead，people will choose a program from a “menu”and a compute r will send the program directly to the television.In what concerns the environment，water will have become one of our most seriouspro blems.In many places，agriculture is changing and they are growing fruit and vegetables to export.This uses a lot of water.Demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious shortages.Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don't act now.In transport，cars will run on new，clean fuels and they will go very fast.Cars will have computers to control the speed of the car and there won't be any accidents.By 2050，the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination.On the other hand，space planes will take people halfway around the world in two hours.Nowadays，the United States Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again.By 2050，space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angels to Tokyo in just two hours.In the field of technology，robots will have taken the place of people in factories.Many factories already use robots.Big companies prefer robots—they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike，and they work 24 hours a day.By 2050，we will see robots everywhere—in factories，schools，offices，hospitals，shops and homes.Medicine technology will have conquered many diseases.Today，there are electronic devices that connect directly to the brain to help people hear.By 2050，we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again.Scientists have discovered how to control genes（基因）.They have already produced clones of animals.By 2050，scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look，how they behave and how much intelligence they have.Scientists will be able to do these things—but should they?39．According to the author，the biggest environmental problems will be______ by the year 2050.A．water B．pollutionC．global warming D．black holes40．What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about?A．Cars will go faster with new fuel.B．Vehicles will be more advanced.C．It will be easier to go to space.D．Computers will be used on cars.41．It can be inferred from the passage that ______by 2050.A．more people will be clonedB．people will have fewer diseasesC．the blind will be able to see againD．scientists will be able to clone animals42．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．Vehicles. B．Technology.C．Agriculture. D．Education.CAn idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond.The concept is simple：help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit（追求）to be enjoyed by all，the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus，as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools.The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched（发起）the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” project in 1998.Her original program used author visits，study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book，but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities，and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago，the mayor（市长）appeared on television to announce the choice ofTo Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book，One Chicago” program.As a result，reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city.Across the US，stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.The only problem arose in New York，where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population.This may show that the idea works best in mediumsized cities or large towns，where a greater sense of unity（一致）can be achieved.Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point，putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than into discussion about a book itself.Ultimately，as Nancy points out，the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book，but by how many people are enriched by the process，or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared_a_word.43．What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A．To invite authors to guide readers.B．To encourage people to read and sha re.C．To involve people in community service.D．To promote the friendship be tween cities.44．Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A．They had little interest in reading.B．They were too busy to read a book.C．They came from many different backgrounds.D．They lacked support from the local government.45．According to the passage，where would the project be more easily carried out?A．In large communities with little sense of unity.B．In large cities where libraries are far from home.C．In mediumsized cities with a diverse population.D．In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.46．The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean ______.A．exchanged ideas with each otherB．discussed the meaning of a wordC．gained life experienceD．used the same language47．According to Nancy，the degree of success of the project is judged by ______.A．the careful selection of a proper bookB．the growing popularity of the writersC．the number of people who benefit from readingD．the number of books that each person readsDWe don't know how different our future will be in the future.We can only try to imagine it.At first we think about human relationship.In the year 2050，we will use computers almost every day.We will be making new friends through the Internet—even our husbands or wives will be met in this way.It will be much faster and easier for us.On the other hand，our relationships with people won't be as important as they are today—we will feel a little lonely.Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050.For example，they will be use d by the children at school to make their learning easier.In addition，there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers，like robots which will do the housework for us.Spending holidays will also be completely different.Travelling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone.Means of transport will，of course，change，too.We will be using solarpowered cars，which will be much more environmentally friendly.We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment.But it isn't true.We will pay more attention to protecting the environment.And，scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases，like cancer or AIDS.Therefore，o ur surroundings as well as health will be in better condition.Although we can't predict the exact changes which will be made in the world，we often think about them.We worry about our and our children's future；we have expectations，hopes as well as fears.But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future.We should be happy and believe good things will happen.48．Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?A．Because the number of people will become much smaller.B．Because there will be less facetoface communication.C．Because people won't like making friends with each other.D．Because people won't communicate with each other much often.49．The third paragraph mainly tells us______.A．that computers will do all the things for human beingsB．how people will use computers to communicate with each otherC．that machines like computers and robots will help people a lotD．how people will use robots to do the housework50．According to the passage，which of the following will happen in 2050?A．The relationship between people will be more important than today.B．The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.C．It won't be difficult for people to travel to other planets.D．Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.51．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．How people will communicate in the year 2050.B．What our life will be like in the year 2050.C．How peo ple will travel and spend their holidays in the year 2050.D．What high technology will appear in the year 2050.EWhen we look around today at the convenience produced by information and communication technology，we often pause to think about past decades when we didn't have these.It took us several days to mail a letter and you had to address the envelope，put a stamp on it，and deliver it to the nearest post office.As for banking，you were required to go to the bank during business hours when you wished to deposit （存）your pay cheque，pay bills，or take out some money.But now Email and Ebanking have certainly changed our lives by giving us the freedom to do these things at our comfortable homes and at any time we choose.Technology is now providing more choices when it comes to education too.It is no longer necessary to attend lessons in a classroom in order to further our learning.The widespread use of the Internet globalizes education and enables educational institutions to offer courses to students anywhere in the world.Elearning has changed the way that courses can be taught and distance education has removed the traditional barriers of higher education.Elearning has opened the door to higher education for many individuals who can't do it in any other way.It allows individuals to get degrees while still working full time；it allows stayat-home mothers to earn their certificates while raising their children；it even allowspeople to study without leaving their homes.What will happen in the next decade if the technology continues to develop at the same rate as it has done in the past ten years？Nobody can tell.One thing is for sure，though，these things will bring us a brighter future.52．Compared with traditional letters，Emails______.A．come to be used in educationB．don't need an addressC．are used by young peopleD．offer more convenience53．According to the passage，what do we know about Elearning?A．People hav e to pay more money for Elearning than traditional education.B．People will spend less time on Elearning than traditional education to get degrees.C．People can earn their certificates more easily by Elearning than traditional education.D．People can receive courses offered by educational institutions in other countries through Elearning.54．From the passage，we know that ______.A．Ebanking is not safe enough，so many people choose to go to the bankB．Email has completely taken the place of traditional lettersC．the widespread of the Internet offers a good chance for ElearningD．Eshopping will have a brighter future in the next decade55．What would be the BEST title for the passage?A．The Development of TechnologyB．The Advantages of ElearningC．How the Internet Changes People's LivesD．The Great Change of Education附加题（短文改错）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

If the earthquake strikes while you're inside a house, you should lie on the floor under a strong table or other furniture. If there is no furniture, you can cover your head with your arms and keep still in the corner of the room. You should keep away from windows, glass walls, or anything that can fall.If you are in bed, hold firmly onto your bed and make use of a pillow to safeguard your head. You may use a doorway but only when it is close to you. It should also be considered whether it is strong enough to deal with the load.If you are running out, do not use lifts, even if they work. Electricity may go out at any time. Many injuries happen when people try to rush out. This means you ought to stay in your house or perhaps wherever you are.When you stay outdoors, you should stay far from buildings, power wires or lights. You should be in the open until the quake stops. Remember that many earthquake deaths outside the house come from falling-apart walls, flying glass and other falling things.If an earthquake strikes and you are driving, you should pull up to the side of the highway and stop as quickly as possible. You ought not to stop under trees, buildings or energy wires. Don't stop in the middle of the street as it could trouble others.When trapped, you shouldn't move. Your mouth should be covered with a piece of clothing or a handkerchief. This is because it is possible for you to breathe in some dust. Do not shout whenever possible. You should only shout in the end to get help from rescuers.（1）What is the writer's purpose in writing this passage?A. To tell us the dangers of an earthquake.B. To tell us what to do before an earthquake.C. To tell us what to do when an earthquake strikes.D. To tell us why running during an earthquake is dangerous.（2）If there is no furniture in the room during an earthquake, you should ________.A. lie still on the floorB. stay near the windowC. stay in the center of the roomD. keep still in the corner of the room（3）According to the passage, during an earthquake, you'd better not ________.a. use a lift to escapeb. stay outdoorsc. cut off electricityd. keep driving to escapeA. abB. bcC. adD. cd（4）What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. When to call out for help in an earthquake.B. What to do when trapped in an earthquake.C. How to make use of a handkerchief in an earthquake.D. How to avoid breathing in some dust in an earthquake.BWhat's more exciting than having a fresh hot pizza delivered to your door? How about having it brought to you by a robot? Thanks to Domino's Robotic Unit or DRU, that just became a reality! On March 8, thethree-foot tall robot delivered its first pizza to some lucky residents in Brisbane, Australia.The fully autonomous DRU is the result of cooperation between Domino's Pizza Australia and Marathon Robotics. The 450-pound machine that travels at a maximum speed of 12. 4 miles an hour can traverse a distance of up to 12 miles and back, before requiring to recharge the battery. LIDAR, a laser-based sensor technology similar to the one used in self-driving cars, enables DRU to detect and avoid obstacles, while traditional sensors, much like those used in vacuum robots ensure its path is safe as it heads to its destination.The robot can fit up to ten pizzas and even has a separate cold area to accommodate drink orders. To access their food, customers have to enter the unique code provided for them by the company. This not only ensures that they pick up the right pizza, but also prevents the pies from getting stolen.Scientists expect additional DRU's to be ready for service in their various Queensland locations within the next six months. But don't expect these super cute robots to replace humans anytime soon. According to Domino's the DRU still needs extensive testing, which the company believes could take up to two years.And then there is also the issue of regulations. The public use of autonomous vehicles is still banned in most countries. But Don Meij, the CEO and Managing Director of Domino's Pizza Australia New Zealand Ltd, is not worried. He is“confident that one day DRU will become an integral part of the Domino's family. ”（1）What's the function of LIDAR?A. Recharging DRU's battery.B. Keeping DRU free of obstacles.C. Helping DRU find its destination.D. Protecting DRU from bad weather.（2）The underlined word “accommodate” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.A. holdB. sellC. heatD. show（3）What can we infer about the future of DRU?A. It will replace humans soon.B. It will be applied worldwide.C. It may be banned in Australia.D. It may need some improvements.四、改错题假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。
