选项中有两项为多余选项。

Over the last 25 years，British society has changed a great deal—or at least many parts of it have. ____1____ Ideas about social class—whether a person is “working- class”or “middle-class”— are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.In the past，the working- class tended to be paid less than middle- class people. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then give them to his wife leaving a little on beer and betting.The old style of what a middle- class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was— and still is— inclined to take a longer- term view. Not only did he regard buying a house as a most important thing，but he also considered the education of his children as extremely important. ____2___ Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity (or the education and training) to make such long- term plans.____3____ In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much as their middle- classs upper visors(管理者). Social security and laws have made it less necessary than before to worry about “tomorrow”. Working- class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority(自卑感). In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle- classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.____4____ They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes，spend their money in having a good time，and save for holidays or longer- term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in previous generations. ____5____As long as this gap exists，there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge，or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear，but between different groups.A.Nowadays，a great deal has changed.B.Both of these provided him and his family with security.C.As a result，differences in lifestyles and attitudes came into existence.D.However，we still have a wide gap between the well-paid and the low-paid.E.In recent years，the working-class people have begun to design long- term plans.F.In some ways，however，very little has changed，particularly where attitudes are concerned.G.The changes in both lifestyles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people.答案 1.F 2.B 3.A 4.G 5.D第二节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Unit 3 A healthy life reading 课时作业一、阅读理解Oxford English Dictionary(OED)editors recently noted that the three­letter word “run” has indeed become the single word with the most meanings with about 645 different usage cases for the verb form alone，making it the most complicated word in the English language.The various definitions of “run” featured in the OED's upcoming third edition begin with the obvious “to go with quick steps”，then continue to run on for 75 columns of type.How could three little letters be responsible for so much meaning？Context is everything.Think about it：When you run a fever，for example，those three letters have a very different meaning than when you run a bath to treat it，or when your bathwater runs over and wets your cotton bath runner，forcing you to run out to the store and buy a new one.And when you ran over a nail in the parking lot and now your car won't even run properly...God—you'd do things differently if you ran the world.When the OED's first edition came out in 1928，the longest entry belonged to anotherthree-letter word：“set”．Even today，the print edition of the OED contains some 200 meanings，beginning with“put，lay，or stand” and continuing on for about 32 pages.So what happened? British author Simon Winchester believes “a fe ature of our more energetic times” made word like “set” seem more passive by comparison.“Run” appears to have earned some major lift during the Industrial Revolution.“Machines run, clocks run, computers run—all of those meanings began in the middle of the 19th century，” Winchester says.So，ready to run through the whole list of definitions？Ah，to read all 645 meanings you'll have to wait for the next edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.1．Which phrase has the first meaning of “run” in the upcoming third edition of OED?A．To run a fever.B．To run out to the store.C．To run a bath.D．To run a machine.2．What does the writer intend to tell us in Paragraph 3?A．Various meanings of the word “run”．B．How to use “run” in specific cases.C．How to learn about the word “run”．D．Different ways to run the world.3．What can we learn from the text?A．“Run” is the most difficult word.B．The meaning of “set” continues on for 75 columns of type.C．“Run” had the most meanings in 1928.D．“Run” has 645 meanings for the verb form in the third edition of OED.4．What made “run” become the word with the most meanings according to Winchester?A．Oxford English Dictionary.B．The various definitions.C．Usage cases of the word “set”．D．The Industrial Revolution.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

课后阅读训练十三Unit 4Period 1Ⅰ. 阅读理解AGlobal warming is the process of earth’s atmosphere heating up.Over the last 100 years, the average temperature of earth’s atmosphere has gone up 1 degree Fahrenheit. The weather has not changed exactly the same way in every area of the planet. But scientists think that the rise in average temperature is already affecting the earth’s climate.Many scientists now believe that global warming is caused by cutting down trees, producing more trash, and polluting the environment and so on. Many scientists believe that the biggest cause of global warming is new human technologies that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.The greenhouse effect is not new. Certain gases in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane, make it hard for heat energy to go into space. In the past, the climate didn’t change much because nature produced just the right amount of greenhouse gases to deal with it. Today, most scientists are pretty sure that the rising tempera ture can’t be blamed on nature. Ever since the industrial revolution in the 1700s, humans have relied on machines for daily life. And many of those machines give off a lot of greenhouse gases. An increase in the release of greenhouse gases from human activities is throwing nature off balance.The climate is a very complicated thing, but many scientists agree that the rising atmospheric temperature has already damaged the environment. Sheets of ice, called glaciers, are melting in Antarctica and other parts of the globe. As glaciers break off and melt into the oceans, they are adding warm water to the oceans and causing the sea level to rise.Over the past 100 years, the sea level has risen 6~8 inches around the world. That means land along the coasts is beginning to disappear under water. Bigger and warmer oceans are also adding to other weather problems caused by pollution in the atmosphere. Some places have received more rain, others have had bigger storms and a few areas in the world have experienced unusual droughts.【语篇概述】本文主要讲述了全球变暖的原因及影响。

Unit 3 A healthy life reading课时作业Ⅰ. 阅读理解AThe Eiffel Tower is one of Europe's most famous buildings. It stands in the Champ de Mars，a park near the River Seine in Paris. It is 300 meters tall and was built by Alexandre Gustave Eiffel for the Paris Universal Exposition in 1889，or “expos” as we now call them，and these “expos” are places where people can see new inventions，new kinds of art，and new kinds of food.Because the tower was such a tall building，Eiffel wanted to make it easy for people to get to the top. He wanted to use an elevator，which was a very new invention at the time. Eiffel asked Elisha Otis to design an elevator to the first and second platforms of the building. Unfortunately，the French government did not like the first design that Otis showed them，and they would not let him put the elevator in. By early 1889，the first visitors had to climb hundreds of stairs to get on the first and second platforms of the tower.The Eiffel Tower cost over a million US dollars—a lot of money at that time. People who invested in the building were worried that they would not get their money back. However，in the first year they got much more than their money back. Thousands of tickets were sold to people who wanted to go up and look at the view from the top.The opening of the Eiffel Tower took place on 10 June 1889. Eiffel himself lived in the tower where he had his own apartment. Many kings and queens visited the tower during the opening and，of course，they visited Eiffel's apartment. Although Eiffel designed the tower for people to visit，it was also used for scientific experiments. Nowadays，the tower gets twice as many visitors as the other very famous building in Paris—the Louver.The writer Oscar Wilde said that he liked the Eiffel Tower because it was the only place in Paris from which he could not see the Eiffel Tower!【语篇解读】本文主要介绍法国的埃菲尔铁塔：历史、造价、开放和评价。
