Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet．Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, amb ition inspired and success achieved．"One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude to wards adversity (逆境）．From time to time we all face hardships, problems, accid ents, afflictions and difficulties．Some are of our making but many

（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）[2014·全国大纲卷] AWhich boy hasn't dreamed of being a cool secret agent(特工)? The wonderful fighting abilities and the world-saving adventures are much more colourful than most people's everyday lives. Well, Cody Banks is just like any other boy, except that he is not just dreaming. He has a big secret his friends never know about. He was trained to be a spy(间谍) by a special CIA programme, which was made to look like a summer camp. He learned high-speed driving, hand-to-hand fighting and the use of high-tech tools.After proving he could become a young hero by saving a baby from a runaway car, Banks gets his first real task. He must make friends with a popular girl at school, Natalie Connors. Then, he must spy on her father, a scientist who has developed a dangerous technology(技术). Banks must stop a group of bad people from forcing Natalie's father into using the technology to endanger the world.The CIA may have taught him first ­class self ­defence moves, but they didn't show him how to talk to girls. Banks has zero ability when it comes to dealing with girls. How can he get around his problem and get an invitation to the girl's upcoming birthday party? Will he finally become Natalie's boyfriend and find out whatever he can about her father's work?Agent Cody Banks has everything that young people are interested in: big explosions, breathtaking performances and funny girl-dating experiences.

Making known the work of the CIA.B. Telling the story about a cool boy.C. Showing the dark side of science.D. Introducing a new film.[2014·福建卷]BWalt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. However, he cannot take the credit for creating other well-loved characters, such as Cinderella and Snow White. They are almost automatically associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables(寓言) into cartoon movies.The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today. It started off with the girl mourning her mother's death and going to her tomb three times a day. In addition, there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice, nor was there mention of a horse and carriage.The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderella's food into the ashes of the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence(因此) her name.In the original story, the king's ball actually lasted for three days. With the help of the birds, the girl, beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her. However, she broke away from him to rush back home each night. On the last night, the prince placed something sticky on the stairs; as Cinderella made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it.Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fitted the shoe, the wicked(邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe. The daughter did as told. So the prince took her away to be his bride. But, when they passed the tomb of Cinderella's mother, the birds called out to the prince ，“Turn and peep, there 's blood w ithin the shoe ； The shoe is too small, the true bride w aits for you .”Realizing he had been tricked, the prince returned the daughter to her mother; the other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with the same result. Only Cinderella's foot fitted perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her. The story ends with the wedding day: as Cinderella's two stepsisters followed her, pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king's riches, two birds flew by and plucked(啄) out their eyes. Because of their wickedness and falsehood, they had to spend the rest of their days blind.The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version. Thank goodness Disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.60．What does the underlined word “They ” in the first paragraph refer to? A ．Such wonderful things. B ．Other well ­loved characters. C ．Old fables. D ．Cartoon movies. 61．How did Cinderella get her name?A ．The birds came up with it.B ．It was given by Disney.C ．It came from the word “ash ”．D ．She got it from her mother.13级1班大周测试第3页，共4页13级1班大周测试第4页，共4页○…………密…………封…………线…………内…………不…………要…………答…………题…………○A．Helpful mice got Cinderella a beautiful dress.B．The ball was held to celebrate the prince's wedding.C．Cinderella left her shoe on the stairs on purpose.D．The birds told the prince that he had been cheated.63．The moral of the original story is that ________．A．a wicked person cannot escape punishment B．a devoted person certainly deserves respect C．a well­behaved child earns a great reward D．a dishonest child cannot get mother love 64．What does the author think of the Disney version?A．Excellent. B．Ordinary. C．Dull. D．Ridiculous.[2014·江西卷]CLarry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险) but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.Larry first began diving when he was his daughter's age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.After the first expedition, Larry's later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.Larry's first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands.There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them.Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry_did_not_even_know_what_the_time_was,_how_many_spots_he_dived_into_or_how_many_ph otographs_he_had_taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.Larry looked at his daughter.She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age.He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.Already, she looked like she was much braver than Larry had been then.This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.56. In what way was this expedition different for Larry?A. His daughter had grown up.B. He had become a famous diver.C. His father would dive with him.D. His daughter would dive with him.57. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Larry had some privileges.B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.C. Divers had to buy diving equipment.D. Ten­year­old children were permitted to dive.58. Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?A. To protect himself from danger.B. To dive into the deep water.C. To admire the underwater view.D. To take photo more conveniently.59. What can be learned from the underlined sentence?A. Larry didn't wear a watch.B. Larry was not good at maths.C. Larry had a poor memory.D. Larry enjoyed the adventure.60. What did Larry expect his daughter to do?A. Become a successful diver.B. Make a good diving guide.C. Take a lot of photos underwater.D. Have longer hours of training.[2014·重庆卷]AI was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labelled(贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed！” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬) under her covers, sobbing.Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden ，a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books，made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me，“Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.36. What made Kate so angry one evening?A. She couldn't find her books.B. She heard the author shouting loud.C. She got the news that her grandma was ill.D. She saw the author's shoes beneath her bed.37.

According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ________． A. the social movement B. recycling techniquesC. environmental problemsD. the importance of Earth Day26. Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A. The grass ­roots level.B. The business circle.C. Government officials.D. University professors. 27. What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?A. They have cut car emissions to the lowest.B. They have settled their environmental problems.C. They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D. They have reduced pollution through effective measures.28. What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph? A. Education. B. Planning. C. Green living. D. CO reduction.第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后在36—55各题所给的四个选项（A.B.C.和D ）中选出最佳选项。

故选B。

【解析】根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，那位女孩的父母是在一封写了一半的信里发现作者丈夫留给朋友的新电话号码的。

故选C。

23.【答案】D【解析】根据“not only...but also...”所连接的“restore”后面的宾语，并结合上文可知，小女孩一家人把那些重要的文件还给了作者的丈夫，所以此处应选D项，意为“恢复”。

24.【答案】C【解析】文章主要讲述了作者的丈夫丢失的重要文件被人扔在垃圾箱里面，然后又被一家好心人捡到重新归还给作者的丈夫的故事，这使作者的丈夫又重拾了对人性的信任。

作者丈夫的这些东西之所以能够失而复得离不开垃圾箱这一线索。

因此C项做标题最恰当。

文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“地球日”的来历以及它在唤起人们的环保意识、节能减排、保护环境等方面所做的贡献。

25.【答案】C【解析】根据文章第一段可知，在1970年以前人们不知道什么是“环境”，更不知道环境问题。

故选C。

26.【答案】A细节理解题。

难度中等。

【解析】根据第二段第二句可知，文中的“millions of”与题干中的“mainly”相符，所以对环保的支持主要来自美国的草根民众。

故选A。

27【答案】D【解析】根据倒数第二段尤其是该段最后一句内容可知，美国通过采取有效的措施大大降低了污染。

C项干扰性很强，但是与原文第三段第二句“The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.”不符，原文意思是说CO超标的城市数量从40个减少到9个。

On May 2, Gadgil became the recipient of the $100, 000 Lemelson-MIT Award for Global Innovation. Each year, the honor is given to an inventor who has improved the lives of people in developing countries. Gadgil’s inventions have helped more than 100 million people around the world.Gadgil is a professor and physicist at the University of California. When he’s no t teaching, he works to find solutions to global problems such as energy efficiency and water safety. “I chose to focus on problems where my knowledge of science could help, ”he said.Gadgil’s global quest to help people began in the 1980s. It all started when he came up with a program to make energy-efficient light bulbs more affordable for people in developing countries.Then in the 1990s, Gadgil designed his first life-saving invention, UV Waterworks. The device uses ultraviolet light to kill deadly disease-carrying germs from drinking water. Gadgil was inspired to find an inexpensive solution to the clean water crisis after more than 10, 000 people in his home country of India died from an outbreak of Bengal cholera, in 1993. The infection is spread through contaminated food and drinking water. So far, the invention has provided safe drinking water to more than five million people in poor areas.Many refugees are given food aid. But they still have to cook the meals. In order to do so, refugee women leave the safety of the camps three to five times a week to gather firewood. Cooking over an open flame can be hazardous to one’s health and to the environment, too, because of the amount of smoke it causes. Gadgil worked with the refugee women on designing a clean, fuel-efficient stove. The invention also helps to save homes more than $300 a year.As a professor, Gadgil encourages his students to stay positive about finding solutions to hard problems. “Be optimistic when you try a hard problem, ”he says. “It’s when you solve a large problem that you can have a big impact on the world. ”36. Gadgil was given an award because.A. he saved many lives in the worldB. he found solutions to global problemsC. his inventions helped people around the worldD. his inventions helped people in developing countries37. His invention UV Waterworks is meant to.A. be energy-efficientB. produce more lightC. kill germs in drinking waterD. help people with cholera38. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To seek help for the poor areas.B. To introduce an inventor to help the poor.C. To show the importance of inventions.D. To tell us how to help others.39. Which of the following best describes Gadgil?A. Brave and determined.B. Responsible and caring.C. Considerate and strict.D. Friendly and devoted.A middle school student who jumped into the hot seat when his schoolbus driver passed out on the way to class this morning is being praised as a“quick thinker” f or leading the bus, and 15 other students, to safety. Seventhgrader Jeremy Wuitschick is being praised by the local police chief for hisactions.Wuitschick hopped out of his seat and grasped the steering wheel(方向盘),pulling the bus over to the side of the road before pulling the keys from theignition(点火开关). “I’ll give the kid credit for fast thinking. He did theright thing and we’re going to do something for him. The kid definitely deserves credit, ”Milton Police Chief Bill Rhodes told ABC News.Police officers were informed of a school bus driving irregularly through town around 8 a. m. today, but by the time an officer arrived at the scene, Wuitschick had it under control. He had pulled the bus over in front of Discovery Primary School, which is near to the school that the students were heading to, Surprise Lake Middle School. “I knew something was wrong, ”Wuitschick told ABC. “It was pretty scary. I was just acting on instinct(本能). It was all happening really quickly. ”Jeff Short, assistant dean for the Fife school district, said the students had been trained in emergency situations on the school bus, including how to shut down the bus in an emergency. A staff member at the school, John McCrossin, happened to be driving behind the bus when the driver lost perception, and rushed onto the bus to administer CPR(心肺复苏)once Wuitschick had pulled over to the side of the road, Rhodes said.The kids told McCrossin they had already called 911. The bus driver, whose name has not been released, was taken to the hospital. Emergency service staff told school administrators he was suffering from a problem related to the heart. Short said his condition was severe. Rhodes said that there were no traffic accidents or other injuries.40. What saved the students on the bus?A. The driver’s strong will.B.

Consciousness.CElectronic books have changed the way many people read for pleasure.Now online textbooks are changing the way some students learn and someteachers teach.Virginia, outside Washington. Last year, the school system used digital books in fifteen schools. This school year, middle schools and high schools changed from printed to electronic textbooks in their social studies classes. Luke Rosa, an education expert, says, “The world’s changing consistent ly. And the online textbooks can change right along with the events that are happening. Besides, digital books also cost less than printed textbooks. ”Social studies teacher Michael Bambara says the e-book he uses in his government class is better than a printed textbook. He likes the way it has materials for students with different levels of reading skills.So what do students think?Melanie: “I don’t have to carry a textbook around, so that’s nice. ”Maria: “I don’t like it because the Internet sometimes doesn’t work. ”Brian: “You can highlight your work. You can leave notes on your work and it’ll all be saved onto your account. It’s a lot better than a regular textbook. ”But the students also need access to the Internet when they are not at school. About ten percent of students in Fairfax County do not have a computer or online access at home.Public libraries in the county have free Internet. There are also after-school computer labs as well as computer clubhouses supported by the county. Middle school student Slieman Hakim is happy about that. He says his family has to share a single computer at home. “All of my family works on a computer, my sister and I both do our homework on it. So I come here to do my homework. It’s good, ”he said.44.

I try to get them to quit. ”So why does Connie walk into convenience stores and try to buy cigarettes? She is testing to see if stores will sell cigarettes to a minor—a kid who is younger than 18. “You have to be 18 to purchase cigarettes, and I’m 16, so if they sell to me, they’re breaking the law, ”Connie says.Connie isn’t a vigilante(治安会会员). She works with local police in her town of Castro Valley, California. Officers drive her to stores, and she goes in alone to try to buy cigarettes. If the person behind the counter sells her a pack, an officer comes in and writes the business a ticket for breaking the law.Most stores obey the law and don’t sell her cigarettes. The law requires that customers show ID if store employees ask them to. “When they ask your age, you can’t lie, ”Connie says. “Most stores don’t sell to me. In a year, we’ve visited almost 150 stores and had only 15 sales. ”cigarettes and then got angry when he found out her age. He threatened to call the authorities. “To calm him down, the police went in to explain that I was undercover, ”she says.Most teens wouldn’t think of going undercover for the police. What’s Connie’s motivation? For starters, she can’t stand smoking. But she also believes it’s important for young people like her to try t o make a real impact in their communities. In her view, teens can do more than get good grades in school, do chores at home, and excel in extracurricular activities.Every time she stops the sale of cigarettes to minors, she’s helping to uphold the law.“A single teenager can make a big difference, ”Connie says. “For the most part, when stores get caught, they learn their lesson and don’t do it again. ”47.

Commonly第一节单项选择21-25 BCCDB 26-30 DCAAD 31-35 BCACCThere are several ways to break the technology code that teenagers have written among themselves.The following are ideas to help parents understand the sometimes confusing world of the teens.Social Networking Sites: Sites like MySpace and Facebook appeal_to all generations and are a good way for a parent to understand what social standards your teen is living with.There are many ways to help you take part in your child's online activities.You also can be from an onlooker who keeps a bird' s eye view of his cyber world to an active member of his social group.MMORPG: Massively Multiplayer Online Role—Playing Game comes in the form of games.A child can easily become addicted to them if no limits are set.To fully understand the attraction behind MMORPG, you can make your own account and character to explore the digital world.Playing the online games may seem strange at first to your teen, but experience has led me to only positive feedback from young people who can communicate with adults about their gaming experiences.Text and Instant Messenger: The ways of teenage communication have produced a whole new language, such as “LOL” (laughing out loud) and “PSOS” (parent standing over shoulder) . Learning the basic shorthand of teens can open up a whole new world of communication, not only talking to your teens, but being able to listen on their terms as well.You may just find yourself texting faster and ending your connection with TTYL (talk to you later)．To teens, texting anyone looks cool, even Mom and Dad.Email: Emailing your child is easy.This, of course, cannot take the place of face-to-face communication, but it provides another way for your child to reach you.Another benefit is that your child cannot act like he didn't hear you.文章大意：本文主要讲述父母可以利用科技技术来和孩子保持沟通交流。

高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空类训练（2）及答案阅读理解Against the supposition than forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that coolin g may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirr or more sunlight into space.This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern fores t to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climat e in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in th ese areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with clim ate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by t he earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fire s influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming b ecause greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are rel eased into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenh ouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozo ne（臭氧）levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation fr om the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the la nd within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, b ecause fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mi rrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of g reenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the cha nge in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate syst em as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely rela ted to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regio ns occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, h owever, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radi ation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts ar e used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost fro m the earth.1. According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent norther n forest fires may _______.A. result in a warming climateB. cause the forest fires to occur more frequentlyC. lead to a longer fire seasonD. protect the forests and the environment there【答案与解析】A 根据第二段第一句This finding suggests ……可知2.

My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behin d an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. I’ve never been late for any job since. I also lea rned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay; it never entered my mind t o say I was sick just because I didn’t want to work.I was only six years old, but I was doing a man’s job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never e arned more than $ 18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, fath er, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have. When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in b ed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf a nd being able to buy a bicycle.The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my fi rst golf club out of guava limb(番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the grou nd and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same dev otion and intensity. I learned working in the field — except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick. 41. The writer’s first job was _______.A. to stand down the fairway at a golf courseB. to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fieldsC. to watch over the sugar-cane plantationD. to spot the balls as they landed so the golfers could find t hem42.

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AArriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in the strange city, think of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.1. What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A. Go shopping.B. Find a house.C. Join his family.D. Take a vacation.2. The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from_______.A. a friend of his familyB. a Sydney policemanC. a letter in his papersD. a stranger in Sydney3. What does the underlined word “restored” in the last paragraph mean?A. ShowedB. Sent outC. DeliveredD. Gave back4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. From India to Australia.B. Living in a New Country.C. Turning Trash to Treasure.D. In Search of New Friends.BSince the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment. “We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in themovement. “The understanding has increased many, many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first earth Day.According to US government reports, emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place .A kind of “Green thinking” has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs;today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Twenty –five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it’s hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program. “Until we do that, nothing else will change!” say Bruce Anderson.5. According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ___.A. the social movementB. recycling techniquesC. environmental problemsD. the importance of Earth Day6. Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A. The grass –roots level.B. The business circle.C. Government officials.D. University professors.7. What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?A. They have cut car emissions to the lowest.B. They have settled their environmental problems.C. They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D. They have reduced pollution through effective measures.8. What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?A. Education.B. Planning.C. Green living.D. CO reduction.COne of the latest trend（趋势）in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, for example, has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of company, says of his 2-year old son. “I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future,” After only six months of being cared by 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots. “Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture.” she says. “Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of Children.”But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity if au pairs from china has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.9. What does that term” au pair” in the text mean?A. A mother raising her children on her ownB. A child learning a foreign language at homeC. A professor in language education of childrenD. A young foreign woman taking care of children.10. Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them ______.A. to live in China some dayB. to speak the language at homeC. to catch up wit other childrenD. to learn about the Chinese culture11. What can we infer from the text?A. Learning Chinese is becoming popular In America,B. Educated woman do better in looking after childrenC. Chinese au pairs need to improve their English Skills.D. Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.DMetro Pocket GuideMetrorall (地铁)Each passenger needs a farecard to enter and go out .Up to two children under age five may travel free with a paying customer .Farecard machines are in every station .Bring small bills because there are no change machines in the stations and farecard machines only provide up to $5 in change.Get one ticket of unlimited Metrorall rides with a One Day Pass .Buy it from a farecard machine in Metro stations .Use it after 9:30 a.m. until closing on weekdays , and all day on weekends and holidays .Hours of serviceOpen 5am Mon-Fri 7a.m Sat-SunOpen midnight Sun-Thur. 3a.m Fri-Stat nights.Last train times vary.

高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解系列训练（2）及答案社会生活类---[201*·福建卷]ASome people believe that a Robin Hood is at work, others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute his or her fortune be fore dying. But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes, accompanied by an article from the l ocal paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairytal es(童话)．The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contain ed10,000 with a cutting from the Braunschweiger Zeitung about h ow the group supported a woman who was robbed of her hand bag; similar plain white anonymous(匿名) envelopes, each containing10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.The envelops keep coming, and so far at least190, 000 has been distributed. Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper's own office. It came after a story it publish ed about Tom, a 14yearold boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the Braunschweiger Zei tung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of 500 inside, with a copy of the article.The name of the family wa s underlined.“I was driving when I heard the news，”Claudia Neumann, the boy's mother, told Der Spiegel magazine.“I had to park on the si de of the road; I was speechless.”The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wh eelchairaccessible and for a course of treatment that their insur ance company refused to pay for.“For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a s ociety in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing，”Mrs.Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy. Henning Noske, the editor of the Braunschweiger Zeitung, said ：“Maybe it is an old person who is about to die. We just do not k now.”However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city's hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations.56．The Braunschweiger Zeitung is the name of ________.
