but still want a car to run errands (差事) or drive on weekends benefit most from car sharing.Car sharing is usually run by a service like Zipcar，though there are nonprofit (非营利的) and informal car sharing services.Members pay a monthly fee and have access to an entire fleet of cars when they need one.The cars are parked in fixed spots around the city，so members only need to make a reservation，and then go to the pickup spot.Car sharing has major environmental benefits because it reduces the number of cars on the road.Members don’t drive just because they are in a car.They plan trips，and if they don’t need a car，they don’t use one.Still，a car is available to them if they need to make a big trip to the grocery store，pick someone up at the airport or if they want to go to the beach for the day.Members also benefit by having access to a car without any of the headaches of ownership.They usually don’t have to pay for the gas，insurance or maintenance (保养)，and the monthly membership fee is less than a typica l car payment.So if you really want to go green but aren’t ready to totally give up a car yet，car sharing may be the way to go.If you still need to get around，but want to go even greener than sharing a car，share a bus!1．The author intends to tell us that car sharing________.A．has become the most popular way to go to workB．has become the best way to cut living costsC．is becoming more and more popular in citiesD．is becoming popular both in urban and rural (乡村的) areas2．We can learn from the passage that________.A．Zipcar can’t help you if you are running urgent errandsB．Zipcar，different from other services，is aimed at green driving with no profitC．Zipcar is a company supplying car sharing services for a monthly paymentD．Zipcar is a company providing formal car sharing free3．The second paragraph mainly tells us________.A．why people will share a carB．why car sharing benefits the environmentC．why car sharing is cheaper than owning a carD．why a car is available to members4．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．Car sharing has become a new trend (趋势)．B．Car sharing can save you the headaches of ownership.C．Bus sharing is even greener than car sharing.D．Zipcar is the largest company offering car sharing services.(2011·上海春招) Twenty-first century humanity has mapped oceans and mountains，visited the moon，and surveyed the planets.But for all the progress，people still don’t know one another very well.That brings about Theod ore Zeldin’s “feast of conversations”—events where individuals pair with persons they don’t know for three hours of guided talks designed to get past “Where are you from？”Mr Zeldin，an Oxford University professor，heads Oxford Muse，a 10-year-old foundation based on the idea that what people need is not more information，but more inspiration and encouragement.The “feast” in London looks not at politics or events，but at how people have felt about work，relations among the sexes，hopes and fears，enemies and authority，the shape of their lives.The “menu of conversation” includes topics like，“How have your priorities (优先考虑的事) changed over the years？” Or，“What have you rebelled against in the past？”As participants gathered，Zeldin opened with a speech：that despite instant communications in a globalized age，issues of the human heart remain.Many people are lonely，or in routines that discourage knowing the depth of one another.“We are trapped in shallow conversations and the whole point now is to think，which is sometimes painful，” he says.“But thinking interaction is what separates us from the other species，except maybe dogs...who do have generations of human interactions.”The main rules of the “feast”：Don’t pair with someone you know or ask questions you would not answer.The only awkward moment came when the multi-racial crowd of young adults to seniors，in sun hats，ties and dresses，looked to see whom they would be “intimate” with for hours.But 15 minutes later，everyone was seated and talking，continuing full force until organizers interrupted them 180 minutes later.“It is encouraging to see the world is not just a place of oppression and distance from each other.” Zeldin summed up.“What we did is not ordinary，but it can’t be madder than the world already is.”Some said the y felt “liberated” to talk on sensitive topics.Thirtysomething Peter，from East London，said that “it might take weeks or months to get to the level of interaction we suddenly opened up.”5．What can the “conversations” be best described as?A．Deep and one-on-one.B．Sensitive and mad.C．Instant and inspiring.D．Ordinary and encouraging.6．In a “feast of conversations”，participants________.A．pair freely with anyone they likeB．have guided talks for a set period of timeC．ask questions they themselves would not answerD．wear clothes reflecting multi-racial features7．In Paragraph 6，“they would be ‘intimate’ ”is closest in meaning to “________”．A．they would have physical contactB．they would have in-depth talksC．they would be close friendsD．they would exchange basic information8．From the passage，we can conclude that what Zeldin does is________.A．an attempt to promote thinking interactionB．one of the maddest activities ever conductedC．a try to liberate people from old-fashioned ideasD．an effort to give people a chance of talking

nationwide are watching housing prices going up，up，and up.“How high can they go？” is the question on everyone’s lips.“As long as interest rates stay around 5 percent，nothing might be able to prevent housing prices going up，”said one house seller in Santa Monica，California.“It’s crazy，” said Tim，who is looking for a house near the beach.“In 1993，I bought my first place，a two-bedroom flat in Venice，for $70,000.My friends thought then that I was overpaying.Five years later，I had to move.I sold it for $230,000，which was a nice st year，while visiting friends here，I saw in the local paper that the exact same flat was for sale for $510,000！”It is a seller’s market.Homebuyers feel like they have to offer at least 10 percent more than the asking price.Donna，a new owner of a one-bedroom flat on Venice Beach，said，“That’s what I did.I told the owner that whatever anyone offers you，I’ll give you $20,000 more under the table，so you don’t have to pay your house seller any of it.I was tired of negotiating with the house sellers.”Tim says he hopes he doesn’t get that desperate.“Whether you decide to buy or n ot，you still feel like you made the wrong decision.If you buy，you feel like you overpaid.If you don’t buy，you want to kick yourself for passing up a great opportunity.”Everyone says the bubble (气泡) has to burst sometime，but everyone hopes it will burst the day after they sell their house.Even government officials have no idea what the future will bring.“All we can say is that，clearly，these things go in regular cycles，” said the state director of housing.“What goes up must come down.But，as we all know，housing prices always stay up a little higher than they go down (被接受)．So you can’t lose over the long run.Twenty years down the road，your house is always worth more than you paid for it.”46．If Tim had sold his flat last year，he could have earned________.A．$510,000 B．$440,000 C．$280,000 D．$160,00047．Donna paid another $20,000 to the owner secretly because________.A．she felt like offering 10% moreB．secret money made low priceC．the owner asked for the moneyD．she was bored with bargaining48．We can infer from Tim’s words in Paragraph 4 that________.A．homebuyers feel hesitate facing rising house pricesB．buying a house is always a great opportunityC．homebuyers never make the right decisionD．both sellers and buyers become desperate49．Which of the following is TRUE about the housing bubble?A．It is something everyone hates to see.B．Only experts know when it will burst.C．It is unavoidable in the regular circles.D．It usually stays for about twenty years.B(厦门2011年质量检查) BELIEVE it or not，the color of the tie Barack Obama wore to the inauguration (就职典礼) is now a hotly debated topic.The level of public interest in Obama’s tie might seem strange but many people believe his choice will symbolize the type of government he plans to run，as the color of a politician’s tie is thought to convey ideas of power，trustworthiness and more.Polities of tiesIt may be the least practical item of male dress，but it is arguably the most expressive.In the UK and many other countries around the world，conservative (保守的) politicians may wear a blue tie and their liberal opponents a red one.In America，the colors go the other way round.The Republicans have in recent years become associated with the color red，and the Democrats with blue.But in spite of this，Bush wears blue ties more often than any other color.What they meanAccording to Sharon Haver，editor of ，in America the feelings associated with colors overrule their political significance.“A guy who wants to be regarded as strong and in charge would wear red，”Haver says.Unsurprisingly，the business tycoon Donald Trump is known for wearing red ties.But what about blue？According to Haver，“Blue is a softer color...Look at the sky.It’s peaceful and calm and trustworthy.”Selecting the right tie for the right occasion• Perfect job interview tiePerhaps no other tie-wearing occasion is as important as the job interview.Gilchrist，the fashion expert，advises playing it safe and choosing a conservative one.Best choices are solids，stripes or small patterns.An excellent color is burgundy (深红色) or another serious color.Avoid pink or yellow，which suggests that the wearer lacks gravity.Pattern ties，Gilchrist suggests，should be limited to a maximum of three colors.A striped tie is a safe choice as this is acceptable to st，Gilchrist recommends saving the expensive “hip” tie for those applying for glamorous creative jobs.• Date-night tieWhen picking out the right tie for taking a girl out on a date，spend more time considering color than pattern.According to studies，women are attracted to men wearing the color blue，because blue gives the image of a “stable，faithful，constant，always there” person.So what is the worst color to wear on a date？“Flattened caterpillar (毛虫) yellow-green，” according to Gilchrist，“it will repel both sexes equally.”50．Why are people interested in the tie that Obama wore to the inauguration?A．Because they think the tie he wore will enable them to know about his personalities and policies.B．Because they want to advise him how to select an appropriate tie for such a big occasion.C．Because they think the tie will tell if he is trustworthy as they expected when he assumes office.D．Because they believe the tie is an essential part of dressing to a mature politician like Obama.51．What can we infer about Bush，the former president，from the passage?A．He was probably liberal in his policies when he was in power.B．He was a Republican when he served as president.C．He wore only blue ties and had no ties of alternative colors.D．He wanted to make himself unique by the tie that he wore.52．The example of “the business tycoon Donald Trump” is given to________.A．prove that color reflects people’s feelings to a certain degreeB．show that Donald is so wealthy that he can afford expensive tiesC．tell that Donald is physically strong and can handle everythingD．explain that red is a popular color，especially with businessmen53．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A．Ties can be ignored by politicians since they are the least practical item of male dress.B．Do choose ties carefully before dating，because it is the most important occasion.C．Why to avoid pink or yellow ties in job interviews is that they don’t match the atmosphere.D．The more colorful the tie is，the more likely you’ll get the job you want.C(厦门2011年质量检查) Compared to adults，children seem to be moving constantly.So it’s no surprise that most parents who are quizzed about their child’s physical activity level describe their children as fairly active.But a new study of nearly 2,000 British school children suggests that many parents overestimate the amount of physical activity their children are really getting.The researchers equipped 1,892 British school children，ages 9 and 10，with accelerometers that measure all physical activity during a given time period.The research，known as the Speedy study collected the exercise data from children at 92 schools in Norfolk，England，between April and July 2007.A child was regarded inactive if he or she recorded less than an hour a day of physical activity.Although the majority of children studied were getting enough physical activity，a_sizable_minority_of_children_were_not.Overall,39 percent of girls and 18 percent of boys studied were getting less than an hour of physical activity each day.But if you asked the parents of the inactive children to describe their child’s activity level，the vast majority—80 percent—described their children as fairly or very physically active，according to the findings published in the American Journal of Pre v enti v e Medicine.Interestingly，the children themselves had more awareness about their lack of physical activity.Overall,40 percent of children overestimated their physical activity.But it wasn’t the parents of overweight children who were most likely to guess wrong about physical activity levels.The parents who were most out of touch about their child’s physical fitness were more likely to have children who were slim.Parents of girls were also more likely to overestimate physical activity.The researchers noted that parents should be educated about the importance of physical activity for children even if the child is not overweight.“Parents of slim children appear to assume that their children are adequately active，”the study authors reported.“Increasing awareness regarding health benef its of physical activity beyond weight control might help have a correct idea of physical activity levels and encourage behavior change.”54．According to the Speedy study，what kind of children can be judged physically inactive?A．Slim children.B．Children with less than an hour a day of physical activity.C．Overweight children.D．Children out of touch with their parents for a long time.55．What does the writer probably mean by saying “a sizable minority of children were not”in Paragraph 3?A．The amount of children’s physical activity is far from the writer’s satisfaction.B．Only a small number of children were not getting enough physical activity.C．A small number of children didn’t overestimate their physical activity.D．The minority of children were not studied at all.56．The passage is intended to________.A．encourage parents to fairly judge their children’s physical activity levelsB．persuade parents to keep an eye on their children’s weightC．urge children to wear accelerometers during exerciseD．advise parents to keep in touch with their childrenD(2010·郑州第二次质量预测) Have you ever thought about what determines the way we are when we grow up？Remember the TV program Seven Up？It started following the lives of a group of children in 1973.We first meet them as wide-eyed seven-year-olds and catch up with them at seven-year intervals：nervous 14-year-olds，serious 21-year-olds and then grown-ups.Some of the stories are inspiring，others sad，but what is interesting in almost all the cases is the way in which the chi ldren’s early hopes and dreams are shown in their future lives.For example，at seven，Tony is a lively child who says he wants to become a sportsman or a taxi driver.When he grows up，he goes on to do both.How about Niki？She says，“I would like to find out abo ut the moon.” And she goes on to become a space scientist.As a child，soft-spoken Bruce says he wants to help “poor children” and ends up teaching in India.But if the lives of all the children had followed this pattern，the program would be far less interesting than it actually was.It was the children whose childhood did not prepare them for what was to come that made the program so interesting.Where did their ideas come from about what they wanted to do when they grew up？Are children influenced by what their parents do，by what they see on television or by what their teachers say？How great is the effect of a single important event？Many film directors，including Steven Spielberg，say that an early visit to the cinema was the turning point in their lives.Dr Margaret McAllister，who has done a lot of research in this area，thinks that the major factors are parents，friends and their wider society.57．What does the text mainly discuss?A．New ways to make a TV program interesting.B．The importance of TV programs to children.C．Different ways to make childhood dreams come true.D．The influence of childhood experience on future lives.58．What does the underlined word “influenced” mean in the last paragraph?A．Impressed. B．Improved.C．Affected. D．Attracted.59．What are the examples in Paragraph 2 meant to show?A．Many people’s childhood hopes are related to their future jobs.B．There are many poor children in India who need help.C．Children have different dreams about their future.D．A lot of people are very sad in their childhood.60．Spielberg’s story is meant to show that________.A．going to a movie at an early age helps a child learn about societyB．a single childhood event may decide what one does as a grown-upC．parents and friends can help a child grow up properlyD．films have more influence on a child than teachers do第二节(共5 小题；每小题2分，满分10分)(2010·陕西西工大附中第四次适应性训练)A．Goods for auction (拍卖) salesB．Definition of biddingC．Way to sell more goods by auctionD．Auction sales in historyE．Brief introduction to auctionsF．Making a larger profit as an auctioneer61.Auctions are public sales of goods，conducted by an officially approved auctioneer.He asks the crowd assembled in the auction-room to make offers，or “bids”，for the various items on sale.He encourages buyers to bid higher figures，and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods.This is called “knocking down” the goods，for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands.62.The ancient Roman probably invented sales by auction，and the English word comes from the Latin auction，meaning “increasing”．The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war.In England in the eighteenth centuries，goods were often sold “by the candle”：a short candle was lit by the auctioneer，and bids could be made while it stayed alight.63.Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction.Among these are coffee，skins，wool，tea，furs，silk and wines.Auction sales are also usual for land and property，furniture，pictures，rare books，old china and similar works of art.64.An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers.If the advertisement cannot give full details，catalogues are printed，and each group of goods to be sold together，called a “lot”，is usually given a number.The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in the order of numbers：he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.65.The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for.The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible.He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low.He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by en couraging two business competitors to bid against each other.第三部分：写作(共三节，满分55分)第一节单词拼写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)66．How long can you________(保持平衡) on one leg?67．The decision was made in my________(缺席)．68．The prisoner will be at________(自由) next month.69．He has got used to the________(乡村的) way of life.70．These________(人造的) flowers are very beautiful.71．Please________(传达) my best wishes to your family.72．His actions were based on a false________(假设)．73．There is a limit to what one person can________(容忍)．74．He________(捐献) much money to charity to help those homeless children.75．She can’t keep her room in a state of________(混乱)．第二节短文改错(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)(2010·陕西高考最后冲刺)A painter hang his or her finished picture on a wall，and everyone can se e it.A composerwrites work，but no one can hear it until it is performing.Professional singers and players have greater responsibilities，for the composer is utterly independent on them.A student of music needs as long and as hardly a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor.Most training is concerning with technique，for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dancer.Singers practice to breathing every day，as his voices would be not beautiful with controlled muscular support.String (弦乐) players practice moving the finger of the left hand up and down，while drawing the bow to and with the right hand—two entirely different movements.第三节书面表达(满分30分)(2011·河北省衡水市高三质量检测) 你校组织了以“读书、进步”为主题的“英语读书月”活动，请你根据下面信息写一篇短文，介绍你们班的“读书明星”李华同学。

the School of Dentistry’s Violence Research Group studied drinking habits in children aged 11～16 in England.They found not only a link between drink and violence but also that children who drank were more likely to be hit，even if they weren’t violent themselves.The researchers are now calling for measures to prevent alcohol misuse to reduce injury risk.Current policy focuses on reducing aggression but this research shows that there should be equal effort to reduce victimization.More than 4,000 children were surveyed at 13 schools at four local authorities in the North，the Midlands，London，and the South.The study found that 25% of 11-year-olds were drinking monthly and 3.6% daily，with 12.8% admitting to getting drunk 3 to 5 times a year.By the age of 16,40% were drinking weekly and 6.2% were drinking every day.The research also showed 22.6% of 16-year-olds were getting drunk more than 21 times a year.The study，which has just been published in the Journal of Adolescence，found a strong link between frequency of drinking and frequency of hitting other people.However，children who reported drinking monthly were also three times more likely to be hit.Adolescents who drank but didn’t get into fights were more likely to be hit than those who did fight.Professor Jonathan Shepherd，who led the research，said a lot of previous alcohol-related violence work had focused on the offenders rather than the victims. His team is calling for more prevention work from parents and teachers in the first two years of secondary school by taking advantage of the “teachable moment”，that is，immediately after a student has missed school because of drunkenness.Previous work by Professor Jonathan Shepherd has shown drinkers may be more at risk of violence because of reduced physical co-ordination，poor decision-making in threatening situations and isolation while out late at night.He said，“This new study seems to be the first to show a direct link between alcohol misuse and victimization.There now needs to be much more effort put into reducing alcohol misuse in order to reduce injury.”1．The main idea of the passage is that teenagers who drink alcohol________.A．often offend other peopleB．often become injuredC．are more likely to become victims of violenceD．are more likely to fight with others2．The underlined word “aggression” in the third paragraph probably means “________”．A．violence B．sad feelingsC．bad manners D．drunkenness3．The research argues that more effort should be made to________.A．reduce aggression B．prevent fightingC．reduce victimization D．prevent drinking alcohol4．Drinkers may be more at risk of violence because of all the following EXCEPT________.A．reduced physical co-ordinationB．isolation while out late at nightC．a higher frequency of hitting other peopleD．poor decision-making in threatening situations5．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to Professor Shepherd’s research?A．The frequency of children getting drunk increases with age.B．His previous alcohol-related violence work had focused on the offenders.C．Some children missed school because of drunkenness.D．This new study shows a direct link between alcohol misuse and victimization.课时作业(二十一)Ⅰ.单项填空1．解析：as far as I am concerned意为“就我所知”为固定搭配。

born with a sense of fairness that most other animals seem not to share，but it’s not been clear exactly when this concept starts to develop.Dr.Alva Zhao and her colleagues conducted a series of tests to measure just how much children care about equality at different ages.In three different versions of a game，children were asked to choose between two ways of sharing a number of sweets with themselves and an unfamiliar partner.They could choose，for example，between one for me and one for you，or just having one for themselves.At the age of three，children were “almost completely selfish”，says Zhao.They refused to give sweets away even if it made no difference to themselves.But by the age of eight，children generally preferred the fair option，sharing a prize equally rather than keeping it all to themselves.Several other factors influenced how fair the children were.The team found that children without brothers or sisters were 28% more likely to share than children with brothers or sisters.On the other hand，the youngest children in a family were 17% less willing to share than children who had only younger brother or sister.In addition，if children knew that their partner was from the same playgroup or school，they were more concerned about being fair.This suggests that being nice to people you know is something that develops a sense of equality.1．The main idea of the first paragraph is________.A．parents know clearly when their kids are more willing to shareB．the kids’ willingness of sharing is learned from their familyC．the older the kids are，the more selfish they will becomeD．kids become more generous when they reach a certain age2．The tests conducted by Dr.Alva Zhao and her colleagues were aimed at________.A．how kids develop a quality of fairness in gamesB．children’s awareness of equality at different agesC．the reasons why children care about equalityD．children’s attitudes t owards other partners3．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．Children under three know little about being fair.B．Children above eight years old become less selfish.C．Children with brothers or sisters tend to be more generous.D．The youngest child in a family tends to be less generous.4．We can learn that children care more about equality while with________.A．unknown people B．nice peopleC．familiar people D．fair people(2009年宜昌第一次调研，A) The United Nations says more than 900 million people worldwide do not have enough to eat.Officials say 100 million more could go hungry this year because of the food and financial crises.To deal with the situation，the UN World Food Program has started a project tohelp small farmers.These farmers are mainly women.Many cannot produce enough food even to feed and support their own families.The new effort is called Purchase for Progress，or P4P.It aims to connect local farmers with dependable markets.That way，they could get a chance to sell their surplus (剩余) at competitive prices.P4P will be tested in as many as 21 countries during the next five years.The biggest contributor to the project is Bill Gates，through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.Another donor (捐款者) is the Howard Buffett Foundation，led by a son of the American investor Warren Buffett.The government of Belgium is also supporting the project in a former colony (殖民地)，now the Democratic Republic of Congo.Together these donors have provided more than 76 million dollars for projects in Africa and Central America.Purchase for Progress will work with United Nations agencies，governments and nongovernmental organizations to help increase crop production.The World Bank Group and other partners are to help train farmers in better crop management and marketing skills.The World Food Program says it expects to buy 40,000 tons of food in the first year using methods carried out by the project.That will be enough to feed 250,000 people.P4P is expected to develop food cooperatives and longterm agreements for buying corn，wheat and other food crops.About 350,000 farmers could be assisted.Officials say the project will change the way the World Food Program buys food in developing countries.Executive Director Josette Sheeran says this is the first time her agency will buy a large amount of food from small farmers.The agency has traditionally bought most of its food from developing countries，but through larger trading organizations.5．From the passage，we know that________.A．in all 900 million people worldwide lack foodB．a project has been started to help women farmersC．there are only two donors to help the projectD．some farmers still cannot support their families6．According to the passage，________will work hard to deal with the situation.A．the United NationsB．the combined effortsC．some governmentsD．some nongovernmental organizations7．Which of the following will NOT be done to help small farmers?A．To donate money.B．To reform the way of food purchase.C．To provide them with food.D．To buy a large amount of food from them.8．What’s the best title for this passage?A．Project to Help Small FarmersB．Contribution to Small FarmersC．Food ProblemsD．P4P Is Being Carried OutⅢ.信息匹配A．Social background for the Development of Adult EducationB．What is the present situation?C．The purposes in Adult EducationD．Ways of Adult EducationE．The history of Adult EducationF．What is Adult Education1.Voluntary learning in organized courses by mature men and women is called adult education.Such education is offered to make people able to enlarge and interpret their experience as adults.Adults may want to study something which they missed in earlier schooling，get new skills or job training，find out about new technological development，seek better selfunderstanding，or develop new talents and skills.2.This kind of education may be in the form of selfstudy with proper guidance through the use of libraries，correspondence (函授) courses，or broadcasting.It may also be acquired collectively in schools and colleges，study groups，workshops，clubs，and professional associations.3.Modern adult education for large numbers of people started in the 18th and 19th centuries with the rise of the Industrial Revolution.Great economic and social changes were taking place: people were moving from rural areas to cities: new types of work were being created in an expanding factory system.These and other factors produced a need for further education and reeducation of adults.4.The earliest program of organized adult education arose in Great Britain in the 1790s，with the founding of an adult school at Nottingham and a mechanics’ institute at Glasgow.The earliest adult education institution in the United States was founded by Benjamin Franklin and some friends in Philadelphia in 1727.5.People recognize that continued learning is necessary for most forms of employment today.For example，parts of the adult population in many countries find it necessary to take part in retraining programs at work or even to learn completely new jobs.Adult education programs are springing up constantly to meet these and other needs.Ⅳ.短文改错Yesterday a school boy is daydreaming in
