(原创)Taking exams in a large group setting can bestressful for students and for the staff members whoare watching over them.When classrooms are crowded and desks are closetogether, cheating might be tempting.One university in Thailand came up with an anti-cheating hat that makes it almost impossible for students to see other students’ papers. A photo of the students wearing the anti-cheating hats made its way to the Internet, and the university was criticized for making students wear those ridiculous looking homemade hats. The hats were made by stapling pieces of paper onto a headband, one to each side of the head.After being criticized, senior academic staff at Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, released a statement saying that the hats idea came from students. They said that in a bid to prevent cheating they asked the students for ideas on how to prevent cheating in the upcoming exam, which was being taken by almost one hundred students. Students came up with different ideas, then the paper hat idea was selected by them as the most suitable.The university claimed that no one was forced to use the hat, but they all chose to do so. “When wearing the hat during the exam, students felt more relaxed, 〞Nattadon Rungruangkitkrai, a lecturer at the university said. “It was not meant to indicate that Kasetsart students often cheat on exams. I apologize if the photomakes other people look at my students in a negative way, 〞Rungruangkitkrai added. 【文章大意】很多人在一起考试对监考教师来说压力不小。
2014高考英语阅读理解精英练习题(8)及答案阅读理解Many families in the United States have a larger income now than ever before, but people are finding it difficult to make ends meet anyway. Almost everyone is wondering,“What happens to all my money?”I never seem to have anythi ng left to put away.Why isn’t a dollar worth as much as it used to be? One dollar is always worth the same amount, that is, 100 cents. But the value of a dollar is how much it can buy. The value of money depends on the cost of living. Economists(经济学家)say that the cost of living is the money that a family must pay for the necessities of life(生活必需品)such as food, housing or rent, clothes, and medical expenses. For many years now, the cost of living has increased greatly, so the value of the dollar has decreased. When a dollar has a low value, you cannot buy as many things with it.No one fully understands why the cost of living keeps increasing, but economists believe that workers and producers can make prices go up. As workers earn more money, they have more money to spend, so many demand more goods. If there is a great demand for certain goods, the prices of these goods go up. At the same time, if there’s a shortage(短缺)of goods, the prices also go up. For example, if everyone wants to buy more and more gas, the price of gas goes up. When companies withhold gas from buyers, they can also make the price of gas go up.Families need to know what happens to their money. They need to make their income meet the cost of living, so many people plan a family budget. A budget(预算)is a list of monthly. If your expenses add up to more than your income, you must find ways to save money. Maybe you’re spending too much on entertainment. Or if you’re spending too much on clothes, you may want to sew your own clothes. Budgeting helps you spend your money wisely as the cost of living increases.58. What has troubled many families in the United States?A. A not-large-enough incomeB. Nothing is left over to put awayC. The increasing cost of livingD. A shortage of certain goods59. ________determines(决定) the value of the dollar.A. The governmentB. The cost of livingC. The economistD. The bank60. While the cost of living increases, the value of the dollar__________.A. increases tooB. decreasesC. neither increases nor decreasesD. seldom decreases61. When ________, the prices go up.A. demand(需求)exceeds(超过)supply(供给)B. supply exceeds demandC. demand doesn’t exceed supplyD. supply equals demand参考答案-------------58-61CBBA阅读理解Valentine’s Day’s is named after Saint Valentine, an early Christian churchman who reportedly helped young lovers. Valentine was executed(处决)for his Christian beliefs on February 14 more than 1,700 years ago, but the day that has his name is even earlier than that.More than 2,000 years ago, the ancient Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers. As part of the celebration, girls wrote their names on pieces of paper and put them in a large container(容器). Boys reached into the container and pulled one out. The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweetheart for a year.Lovers still put their names on pieces of paper and they send each other Valentine’s Day cards that tell of their love. Sometimes they also send gifts, like flowers or chocolate candy. Americans usually send these gifts and cards through the mail system. But some use another way to send this message. They have it printed in a newspaper. The cost is usually a few dollars. Some of the messages are simple an d short:“Jane, I love you very much. Peter.”Others say more. This one, for example, “Dan, roses are red, violets are blue. I hope you love me as much as I love you. Forever, Mary.”Most of the newspapers that print such messages are local, but one, USA Today, is sold throughout the United Stated and 90 other countries as well. This means someone can send a Valentine message to a lover in a far-away city or town almost anywhere in the world. These messages cost 80 dollars and more. An employee of the USA Today says readers can have a smallheart or rose printed along with their messages this year. Will this kind of Valentine’s Day messages reaches the one you love? Well, just make sure he or she reads the newspaper.62. How to understand“the day that has his name is even earlier than that”?A. The holiday for lovers is earlier than Valentine’s Day that was named after Saint Valentine.B. Valentine was executed a long time ago.C. The day when Valentine was executed is earlier than a holiday for lovers in ancient Rome.D. Valentine’s Day existed when Saint Valentine was still alive.63. Why the girl whose name was written on the paper would become a boy’s lover or sweetheart for a year?A. Because the girl would love the boy who pulled out a piece of paper on wh ich the girl’s namewas written.B. It’s up to the face.C. Because the boy would love the girl whose name was on the paper pulled out by him.D. Not mentioned in the passage.64. In what way do lovers express love when Valentine’s Day is comin g, according to the passage?A. Sending Valentine’s Day cards.B. Sending gifts, like flowers or chocolate candy.C. Sending love through a newspaper.D. All of the above.65. Why printing message in USA Today is so expensive?A. Because readers can have a small heart or rose printed along with their messages.B. Because USA Today is sold through the United States and other countries.C. Because USA Today is an important newspaper.D. Because the quality of the paper USA Today is high.参考答案---------62-65DDDBAbout a third of all common cancers in the United States, China and Britain could beprevented each year if people ate healthier food, drank less alcohol and exercised more, health experts said on Friday.Reports from the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) suggest that making simple lifestyle changes could prevent some 40 percent of breast cancers alone in Britain and the United States, as well as tens of thousands of stomach cancers.“Even in 2011, people are dying unnecess arily from cancers that could be prevented through keeping a healthy weight, diet, physical activity and other lifestyle factors,” said a WCRF medical and scientific adviser.WCRF findings are supported by World Health Organization (WHO) reports, which say regular exercise can prevent many diseases such as cancers and heart diseases.Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world and its incidence(发病率) is rising. Each year around 12.7 million people discover they have cancer and 7.6 million people die from some form of the disease. There are about 200 known types of cancer.Rachel Thompson, the WCRF’s head of science, said that while the message was simple —that not smoking, eating good food and being a healthy weight can help ward off many cancers —it was still a difficult one to get across.The WHO says adults should do at least 150 minutes of exercise a week. This could be done by walking for 30 minutes five times per week or by cycling to work every day.Peter Baldini, head of the World Lung Foundation, also called on all governments to introduce smoke-free laws and raise the price of cigarettes. Tobacco kills millions of smokers every year, and tobacco-related lung cancers also kill hundreds of thousands of people who don’t smoke but have been exposed to it second-hand.“There isn’t a magic bullet to cure all forms of cancer, but we have the opportunity and the duty to protect people from developing cancer wherever possible,” Baldini said.63. Which of the following words can best take the place of the phrase “ward off” in the sixthparagraph?A. protectB. preventC. developD. cure【答案】B【解析】词义猜测题。

2021高考英语短文故事精读与语法填空训练(七)一:语法填空训练Fully insured 全保险Insurance companies are ( normal) willing to insure anything. Insuring public or private property is a standard practice in most (country) in the world. If, however, you were holding an open air garden party or a fete it would be equally possible (insure) yourself in the event of bad weather. Needless to say, the bigger the risk an insurance company ( take), the higher the premium you will have to pay. It is not uncommon ( hear) that a shipping company has made a claim for the cost of salvaging a sunken ship. But the claim made by a local authority to recover the cost of salvaging a sunken pie dish must surely be unique.Admittedly it was an ( usual) pie dish, for it was eighteen feet long and six feet wide. It had been (purchase)by a local authority so that an enormous pie could be baked for an annual fair. The pie committee decided that the best way to transport the dish would be by canal, so they insured it for the trip. Shortly after it was launched, the pie committee went to a local inn to celebrate. At the same time, a number of teenagers climbed on to the dish and (hold) a little party of their own. Dancing proved to be more than the dish could bear, for during the party it capsized and sank in seven feet of water.The pie committee telephoned a local garage owner arrived in a recovery truck to salvage the pie dish. Shivering in their wet clothes, the teenagers looked on while three men dived repeatedly into the water to locate the dish. They had little difficulty in (find) it, but hauling it out of the water proved to be a serious problem. The sides of the dish (be) so smooth that it was almost impossible to attach hawsers and chains to the rim without damaging it. Eventually chains were fixed to one end of the dish and a powerful winch was put into operation. The dish rose to the surface and was gently drawn towards the canal bank. For one agonizing moment, the dish was perched precariously on the bank thecanal, but it (sudden) overbalanced and slid back into the water. The men were now obliged to try once more. This time they fixed heavy metal clamps to both sides of the dish so that they could ( fast) the chains. The dish now had to be lifted vertically because one edge was resting against the side of the canal. The winch was again put into ( operate)and one of the men started up the truck. Several minutes later, the dish was (successful) hauled above the surface of the water. Water streamed in torrents over its sides with such force that it set up a huge wave in the canal. There was danger that the wave would rebound off the other side of the bank and send the dish plunging into the water again. By working at tremendous speed, the men managed (get)the dish on to dry land before the wave returned.二:词句短语长难句释义Fully insured 全保险I n s u r a n c e c o m p a n i e s are normally willing to insure anything.

高考英语阅读理解精英准时练习题(8)阅读理解 ------A篇For a while, my ne ighborhood was taken ever by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They werethere all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladiesin gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-ag ed men with red faces.“Come on! ” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every ev ening. “You’ll feel great.”Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day,anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life,and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form ofexercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I’m not alone in my opini on.First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet a real pounding(追击) ruining down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and backproblems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attackwhile jogging, and I had something else to worry about. J ogging doesn’t kill hundredsof people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring themout, as they did with me.Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of theother for forty- five minutes isn ’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say,“I love being out there with just my thoughts”Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t justthe first week: it was practically every day for two months. I never got past thepain level, and pain isn ’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises,including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?I don ’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two milesthree times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when theweather is good. I ’m getting exercise, and I ’m enjoyi ng it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I ’ve found a lot o f better ways to stay in shape. 46. From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer’s neighborhood ______.A. jogging became very popularB. people jogged only during the daytimeC. Alex organized an army of joggersD. jogging provided a chance to get together47. The underlined word“them”(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _____.A. heart attacksB.

He found it neither healthy nor interesting.C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.D.He was worried about being left alone.50.From the writer ’s experience, we can conclude that______. A.not everyone enjoys joggingB. he is the only person who hates joggingC. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fitD. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport.参照答案46— 50、 ADABA阅读理解In China, more and more middle school students are getting shorter sleeping time than before.

2014高考英语阅读理解精英训练精品题(17)及答案C2[2013·浙江卷] -----DIn 1974, after filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I took what I could get—a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area: western New Jersey. My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen—teaching English.School started, but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country. Was this rural area really New Jersey? My students took a week off when hunting season began. I was told they were also frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms. I was a young woman from New York City, who thought that “Make hay while the sun shines” ju st meant to have a good time.But, still, I was teaching English. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-grade class—seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years younger than me. I had a problem long before I knew it. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love of the written word. The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room.In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did, confident that, as the textbook had said, the bad behavior would disappear as I gave my students positive attention. It sounds reasonable, but the text evidently ignored the fact that humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem reasonable. By the time my boss, who was also my taskmaster, known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.My boss sat in the back of the room. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasn't happening, and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of the room, seemed to be growingbigger and bigger. After twenty minutes he left, silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes.I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period I had to face him. I wondered if he would let me finish out the day. I walked to his office, took a deep breath, and opened the door.He was sitting in his chair, and he looked at me long and hard. I said nothing. All I could think of was that I was not an English teacher; I had been lying to myself, pretending that everything was fine.When he spoke, he said simply, without accusation, “You had nothing to say to them.”“You had no thing to say to them,” he repeated. “No wonder they're bored. Why not get to the meat of the literature and stop talking about symbolism. Talk with them, not at them. And more important, why do you ignore their bad behavior?” We talked. He named my problems and offered solutions. We role-played. He was the bad student, and I was the forceful, yet, warm, teacher.As the year progressed, we spent many hours discussing literature and ideas about human beings and their motivations. He helped me identify my weaknesses and my strengths. In short, he made a teacher of me by teaching me the reality of Emerson's words: “The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil.”Fifteen years later I still drive that same winding road to the same school. Thanks to the help I received that difficult first year, the school is my home now.55.It can be inferred from the story that in 1974 ________.A. the writer became an optimistic personB. the writer was very happy about her new jobC. it was rather difficult to get a job in the USAD. it was easy to get a teaching job in New Jersey56.According to the passage, which of the following is most probably the writer's problem as a new teacher?A. She had blind trust in what she learnt at college.B. She didn't ask experienced teachers for advice.C. She took too much time off to eat and sleep.D. She didn't like teaching English literature.57.What is the writer's biggest worry after her taskmaster's observation of her class?A. She might lose her teaching job.B. She might lose her students' respect.C. She couldn't teach the same class any more.D. She couldn't ignore her students' bad behavior any more.58.Which of the following gives the writer a sense of mild victory?A. Her talk about symbolism sounded convincing.B. Her students behaved a little better than usual.C. She managed to finish the class without crying.D. She was invited for a talk by her boss after class.59.The students behaved badly in the writer's classes because ________.A. they were eager to embarrass herB. she didn't really understand themC. they didn't regard her as a good teacherD. she didn't have a good command of English60.The taskmaster's attitude towards the writer after his observation of her class can be best described as ________.A. cruel but encouragingB. fierce but forgivingC. sincere and supportiveD. angry and aggressive【要点综述】这是一篇感人的文章,作者历经千辛万苦获得了一份教师的工作,但由于初为人师,教条主义和理想化成了她教学的最大问题。

So the idea that in 20 years’ time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe. But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers, which are taken seriously, not only by government but also by car manufacturers.The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program. The team there believes that by 2030all cars will be computerized, which will mean much saving, no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself, and it will not be owned by one individual. Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.According to Dr. David Davis, who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture, which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air, and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.Davis says, cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices to regulate the distance between one car and another. The car will automatically (自动的) speed up, or slow down, to match the speed of the car in front. Computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.By 2020. Dr. David Davis believes, car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road, whatever the weather conditions, by projecting an image of the road ahead on to the car’s windscreen. And by 2030, cars will travel in convoy, linked to each other electronically. Cars will be connected to the car in front,just likea train. “The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount of fuel.〞says Davis. ‘‘But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount, and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.〞21.We know from the passage that governments and car manufacturers_______.A. are devoted to the technological revolution in car industryB. consider the predictions seriouslyC. do not believe the prediction that no one will own cars by 2030D. have put the super-intelligent car into mass production22.Which of the following will be the characteristic of the cars of 2030?A. The car will speed up out of control.B. We will own as many cars as we want.C. Cars will produce more pollution than present ones.D. All cars will be driven by computers.23.The expression closest in meaning to the phrase “in convoy〞in the last paragraph is________.A. sidelongB. in lineC. side by sideD. shoulder to shoulder24.What will happen if cars are joined to each other electronically in 2020?A. There will be less pollution caused by car.B. Motorists will get a clear view of the road.C. The weather condition will not have effect On motorists.D. All trains will burn less fuel than present.This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers〔young people aged from 13—19〕from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. The school was completelydifferent from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.“Back home, you pic k up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.〞At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea.“I suppose I should critici ze American schools,〞he says.“It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in may outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.〞68. The whole exchange programme is mainly to__________.A. help teen agers in other countries know the real AmericaB. send students in America to travel in GermanyC. let students learn something about other countriesD. have teen agers learn new languages69. Fred and Mike agreed that__________.A. American food tasted better than German foodB. German schools were harder than American schoolsC.

What is particular in America schools is that __________.A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.B. there are a lot of outside activitiesC. students usually take fourteen subjects in allD. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car71. After experiencing the Amercian school life, Mike thought__________.A. a better education should include something good from both American and GermanyB. German schools trained students to be better citizensC. American schools were not as good as German schoolsD. the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students参考答案 68---71、CBCDThe news of the great fight at Waterloo was published in the Gazette. After the statement of the victory came the list of the wounded and killed. George’s name among the latter was a terrible shock to the Osborne family and its chief. The old father was weighed down by his deep sorrow, but whatever his feelings of guilt and regret for the past, the stern〔stubborn and strict〕old man never mentioned his son’s name.About three weeks later a letter was sent on to him by Dobbin, now promoted to major. It was George’s fare well to his father, written at dawn on the day of the battle.The poor boy’s letter did not say much. He was too proud to show his feelings. He only wished his father goodbye, and begged for his help for his wife, and it might be the child, whom he left behind. He spoke regretfully of his former waste of money, thanked his father for his generosity in the past, and promised that whether he fell on the field, or lived through the battle, he would act in a manner worthy of his family name.Mr. Osborne dropped the letter with the bitterest feeling of disappointed love and revenge(报复). His son was still beloved and unforgiven.Towards the end of the autumn, the old man told his daughters that he was going abroad. He did not say where, but they knew at once that his steps would be turned towards Belgium, and that George’s widow was still in Brussels.Many of the wounded were still there, recovering. After visiting his son’s grave, Mr. Osborne easily found some of George’s regiment(步兵团). He was coming out of his hotel when he saw a soldier with a bandaged arm, in the well-known uniform, on a bench in the park. He sat down trembling by the wounded man.“Did you know Captain Osborne?〞he asked, and added, after a pause, “he was my son, sir.〞The man lifted his unwound ed arm and touched his cap sadly. “The whole army didn’t contain a finer or a better officer,〞 he said. He told the old man that one of George’s fellows was in town just getting over a shot in the shoulder. He would be able to tell him anything he wanted to know.Guided in this way, Mr. Osborne made the journey to Waterloo and went over the field. He saw the spot where George had cut down the French officer who was trying to seize the regimental flag, and the place where the young captain, rushing down the hill and waving his sword, received a shot and fell.As he was driving back to the gates of the city at sunset, old Osborne met another carriage. He drew quickly back. He saw Amelia, her face white and thin, her hair parted under a widow’s cap. Her eyes we re fixed and looking nowhere. She did not know him, nor, until he saw Dobbin by her side, did he recognize her.He hated her. He did not know much, until he saw her there.Dobbin turned and rode back to him.“Mr. Osborne! Mr. Osborne!〞he cried. “I have a message for you.〞“From that woman?〞 said Osborne fiercely.“No,〞replied the other, “from your son. I’m here as his closest friend, and in charge of his will. Are you aware how small an amount he has left, and the poorcircumstances of his widow? Do you know her condition — that her life and her mind have been shaken by the blow that has fallen upon her? She will be a mother soon. Will you forgive the poor child, for George? 〞“I don’t know his widow, sir,〞was the reply. “Let her go back to her father.I will never speak to her, or recognize her.〞67. Waterloo, according to the passage, was probably in ______.A. EnglandB. GazetteC. BelgiumD. France68. The underlined words getting over in the middle of the passage means ______.A. recovering fromB. suffering fromC. handing overD. taking over69. The third paragraph of the passage may lead you to believe that ______.A. George had probably spent money too wastefully in the pastB. Mr. Osborne had been very generous and kind to his son in the pastC. George had behaved himself so well that he was worthy of respect of the familyD. George had acted so well at the battle that his father forgave him70. Which of the following statements is FALSE?A. George must have fought bravely at the battle.B. George’s regiment fought against the French soldiers at the battle.C. The army on George’s side won the victory in the end.D.

People’s feet always move when they dance. They keep on moving until the music stops.People have enjoyed dancing for a very long time. This story is of a different kind of dance. It is a dance without people or music. Yet this dance is one of the oldest in the world. It is the dance of bees.If you have ever watched bees, you know that they are very clever. They also work hard looking for food and bringing it hack to their home.The home of the bees is called a bee hive(巢). Here hundreds even thousands of bees live. They work day and night building small walls of wax(蜡). Then they make their honey. This is the same honey that we eat.Where does the honey come from? Bees live on food from flowers. Have you seen bees flying around a flower garden? When a bee rests on a flower, it tries to go to the center of it. There it takes the food back to the hive.At the hive, bees change this flower food into honey. Then they fly away for more food.How do the bees know where to find the best food in the sweetest flowers? One bee acts as a guide. When it discovers good flowers, it flies back to the hive and tells the others. It does this by dancing for them.The bee dances on the side. This tells the other bees which way to go to find the flowers. But that is not all. The bee dances for some time. And the length of its dance tells the other bees how far they must fly to reach the flowers.When the bees see the dance, they know where the flowers are. They fly away and return with more food for the hive.Sometimes we hear the music of the bees as they fly around. But few people have ever seen them dance. Yet without that dance we might never have sweet honey to eat.54. The writer believes that____________.A. people dance better than beesB. people learned dance from beesC. bees dance more often than peopleD. bees don’t like music55. From this passage we know that the dance of bees means__________A. they are good at danceB. they want to show their beautyC. they communicate with each otherD. they have nothing to do56. Which of the following is TURE?A. People get honey from flowers directlyB. People draw honey from bees’ bodiesC. People produce honey in a secret placeD. People get honey from bees indirectly57. If a bee wants to get some information about the distance of food, he may watch closely at _____of the other bees’ dance.A. the sideB. the lengthC. the placeD. the time参考答案-------------- 54-57CCDB阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40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。
ADutch treat is a late-nineteenth-century term, and it originally refers to a dinner where everyone is expected to pay for his own share of the food and drink. If people go “Dutch treat”, or simply “go Dutch”, it means that they will share the expenses of a social engagement.There are many other “Dutch” expressions in English, many of which were invented in Britain in the seventeenth century, when the Dutch and the English were commercial and military rivals. The British used “Dutch” to refer to something bad, cheap and shameful. A “Dutchbargain” at that time was an uneven, one-sided deal; “Dutch reckoning” was an unitemized account; and “Dutch widow” was slang for prostitute. Later centuries brought in “Dutch courage”, for bravery induced by drink; “Dutch concert”, for discordant music; “Dutch nightingale”, meaning a frog; and “double Dutch”, for incomprehensible language, or unintelligible talk.Some of the expressions are still in use today, but some are not. In fact, in American English, some “Dutch” expressions have nothing to do with the Dutch, but something with the German. It was probably because of the similar spelling and pronunciation that people made a mistake in distinguishing between “Dutch” and “Deutsch” (the German word for German), when German immigrants came to America in the 1700s. For instance, “the Pennsylvania Dutch” refers to the German descendants, instead of the Dutch descendants, living in Pennsylvania.56. Many of the “Dutch” expressions were invented with derogatory (贬义) sense,because .A. The Dutch were underdeveloped people.B .Britain and Holland were competitors at that time.C. The Dutch had many bad habits.D. The British were superior to the Dutch.【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。
