if histail is straight, it means he is getting ready for a fight ; and if his tail is tucked (塞) behind his legs, itmeans he is giving up the fight．Unlike dogs, cats' tail language is not so expressive． When a cat feels threatened, he puffs him-self up to appear big and his tail shakes with tension． And when he is displeased with something, helashes out(甩动) his tail．The tail language of dogs and cats has a little story behind it． Earlier, when dogs and cats hadnot become friends with human beings, they were predators． They used to hunt other animals for theirfood． When dogs went out hunting with their friends, tail language came handy． When they were closeto each other, dogs could use facial expressions to talk． But, for long-distance c,o~mmunication, theyused their tails． Unlike dogs, cats liked to hunt alone． So, they did not need to use tail language toooften． As a result, their vocabulary in tail language is much smaller than that of dogs'．(本题12分)1(单选题)What does it mean when a dog's tail is straight?(本题3分)A It has a lot to say to you．B It wants to stop fighting．C It is going to fight．D It likes to be patted．标准答案： C2(单选题)A cat tries to appear big when it is __________ .(本题3分)A facing a dangerB unhappyC ready to huntD hungry标准答案： A3(单选题)Which of the following does the author intend to say?(本题3分)A Dogs and cats are not good friends．B Dogs are much friendlier than cats．C Dogs and cats are usually good pets．D Dogs use tail language more than cats．标准答案： D4(单选题)In the last paragraph, the underlined word "predato．rs" refers to __________ .(本题3分)A animals that follow and obey other animalsB animals that kill and eat other animalsC animals that live in the wildD animals kept by people标准答案： B24(阅读理解题)根据下面内容，回答问题：Like any teenagers, the face of One Teen Story is changing fast． Just a year old, the monthlymagazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief: Patrick Ryan ,47, the asso-ciate editor of Granta from 2009 to 2013． He left the London-based literary journal last month．Editing One Teen Story--the younger sibling(姐妹篇）of One Story magazine--will offer Ryan achance to reach a whole new audience． "It's really the only magazine for young adult short fiction,"he says from his office in New York． "It's tremendously exciting that there are younger people outthere who have subscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month． That form is usu-ally only presented when it's forced upon them in schools． "Designed for readers 14 and up, One Teen Story publishes nine issues a year． Like its siblingmagazine, it doesn't carry photographs or advertising． It's just exactly what it says:one story per issue．Ryan says young people are "looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identifywith． It'snot about having a message or positive spin (说教)． It always starts on a character level,and it has to have an interesting story． If you look at the ' Twilight' characters and the ' HarryPotter' characters,they feel very contemporary． " Ryan also sees the magazine as a way to encourage talented authors． "I would love to make OneTeen Story the first publication for writers who then go on and keep at this business． I just really lovethe idea that this magazine would be the starting point for somebody--would be the push to make a talented writer feel that it was woah keeping at this．”(本题12分)1(单选题)Who is Patrick Ryan?(本题3分)A He is the editor．in．chief of Granta．B He is the editor—in—chief of One Story．C He is the editor．in—chief of“Twilight”．、D He is the editor—in-chief of One Teen Story．标准答案： D2(单选题)What is One Teen Story?(本题3分)A It is a story magazine for teenagers．B It is a London—based literary iournal．C It is a column of a newspaper．D It is a magazine of science fiction．标准答案： A3(单选题)According to Ryan。

I loved the countryside and the pubs， and I loved London. I've slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it's an ugly town now. Things have changed. For everybody， England meant gentlemen， fair play， and good manners. The fair play is going，unfortunately， and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners-people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing. I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You're forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more， to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub， and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice. As a woman， I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p. m. I used to use it， but now I'm afraid. The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that's typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away， but I took him to France for Christmas once because hewas always alone. 41. The writer doesn't like London because she ______. A. is not used to the life there now B. has lived there for seventeen years C. prefers to live in an old-fashioned house D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there 42. Where do people usually meet their friends in England？ A. In a cafe. B. In a restaurant. C. In a nightclub.D. In a pub. 43. The underlined part “it” （in Para. 4） refers to______. A. a taxi B. the money C. a bomb D. public transport 44. The writer took her neighbour to France for Christmas because he______. A. felt lonely in England B. had never been to France C. was from a typical French family D. didn't like the British idea of family。

2014年普通高校招生全国统一考试英语第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AArriving in Sydney on his own 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 a strange city, thinking 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 address on most of the documents. At last they had seen a halt-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 out faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often senda warm wish their way.1.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A.Go shoppingB.Find a houseC.Join his familyD.Take a vacation2.The girl’s family 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 of the text?A.From India to AustraliaB.Living in a New CountryC.Turning Trash to TreasureD.In Search of New FriendsBSince 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 Ander son, president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people, politics leaders, university professions, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the move ment. “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 5.5 million 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 if “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 that does not have such a kind of program. “Until we do that, nothing else will change! ” says 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-rootsB.The business circlesernment officialsD.University professors7.What have Americans achieved in environment protection?A.They have cut car emissions to the lowest.B.They have settled their environment 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 theparagraph？cationB.PlanningC.Green livingD.CO reductionCOne of the latest trends in American childcare is Chinese au paris. Au Pair in STAMFORD, Conn, for example, has got increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.“I thought it would be very useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age,” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of a company, says of his 2-year-old son.”I would at least like to hive him the chance to use the language i n the future.’ After only six months of being cared for by a 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 an au pair from china: she didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots. “because I am a Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to 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 learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity of au pairs from china has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents 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 the 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.D.A young foreign woman taking care of children10.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 with other childrenD.To learn about the Chinese culture11.What can we learn from the text?A.Learning Chinese is becoming popular in Americacated women do better in looking after childrenC.Chinese au pairs need to improve their English skillsD.Children can learn a foreign language well in six monthsDMetro Pocket GuideMetrorail(地铁)Each passenger need a farecard to enter and go out.

Online learning platforms allow students to study at their own pace and from any location. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for working professionals and individuals with other commitments. Moreover,technology has made educational resources more diverse and engaging, as students can now access a wide range of multimedia content, such as videos, podcasts, and interactive simulations.Secondly, technology has enhanced the learning experience by providing personalized learning opportunities. Adaptive learning platforms can tailor educational content to the individual needs of each student, ensuring that they receive the appropriate level of challenge and support. This personalized approach can improve learning outcomes and help students reach their full potential.However, there are also potential challenges associated with the integration of technology in education. For instance, the digital divide between different socioeconomic groups can create inequalities in access to educational resources. Additionally, excessive reliance on technology may lead to reduced social interaction and a decline in criticalthinking skills.In conclusion, technology has a significant role to play in education. Its benefits, such as increased accessibility, flexibility, and personalized learning, can greatly enhance the educational experience. However, it is essential to address the challenges associated with technology integration to ensure that all students have equal opportunities to succeed in the digital age.。

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneKids often ask Scout Bassett, of Palm Desert, California, if she wishes she had two normal legs. Bassett, 18, answers, “No. I have never known anything different, and it would seem weird to me. Besides, if it weren’t for the missing leg, I wouldn’t have the opportunities I have”Scout has faced big challenges. When she was months old, she suffered from terrible burns. Her right leg was especially damaged, and doctors cut it off above the knee. When she was 14, she got a high-tech leg made for sports and put it to the test right away in a race for disabled athletes. “I remember being terrified because this was my first time,” she says. ”But my doctor said, ‘you have to start somewhere.’”Scout was waiting nervously for the race to start when athlete Sarah Reinertsen came up and said,”I’ve been doing this for a while. Let me give you some tips.” Reinertsen, who lost her leg when she was seven, is the first disabled woman to have finished the Ironman triathlon(铁人三项) in Hawaii. She works with an organization to help support people like Scout.Reinertsen’s encouragement changed the teenager’s life. She lost that first race, but gained the confidence that she needed to compete. If Sarah could do it, she could too. Training hard, she now runs competitively and also finds time to share her story with school groups.“Sometimes people look at someone like me or at Sarah and think they have nothing in common with us. I tell them that even if you aren’t physically challenged, everybody has challenges of some kind---maybe with family, or homework, or friends.”“No matter what it is, you can overcome that obstacle,” she says. “Everything you need is inside your heart. Take small steps. As time goes by, the steps will get bigger and you will reach your dream.”16.Why does Scout answer “No” when asked if she wants two normal legs?_______A. She’s scared of changing her current situation.B. She couldn’t have them even if she wanted to.C. She has never thought of it before.D. She’s satisfied with what she has achieved as a disabled.17. What does the doctor mean by saying “You have to start somewhere”(para.2)________A. She has to do it sooner or later.B. She has to find the right place to to start.C. That will be a memorable first time.D. That is a perfect time to start.18. Scout’s childhood experience _______.A. were the cause of her shynessB. were a nightmare until she reached 14C. didn’t stop her from fulfilling herself.D. didn’t have much influence on her later life.19. Which of the following statements is true?________A. Sarah shared her story with school students.B. Sarah started to compete at the age of seven.C. Scout has been inspired by Sarah’s success.D. Scout joined Sarah’s organization to help others.20. Through Scout’s story, the author wants to tell us _________.A. the disabled are mentally stronger than othersB. inner strength can help one overcome difficultiesC. good things will come no matter whatD. everybody has to challenge himselfPassage TwoIMPATIENCE has been around for a long time. There is nothing new about people losing their patience while stuck in traffic or waiting in line. But some experts believe that people are less patient today than in the past-and for reasons that might surprise you.Some analysts suggest that in recent years many people are less patient because of technology. They suggest that “digital technology, from cellphones to cameras to email to iPads, is changing our lives. The instant results we get from this technology have in turn increased our desire for instant gratification in other aspects of our lives.”Psychologist Jennifer Hartstein makes some observations. She explains that “we have become an immediate satisfaction culture, and we expect things to move quickly, efficiently and in the way we want. When that doesn’t happen, we tend to become increasingly frustrated and unsatisfied.Some believe that e-mail is losing popularity and could soon become outdated. Why? Because many people who send messages do not have the patience to wait hours, or even minutes, for a response. Also, with e-mails, as with letter writing, introductory and concluding greetings are often expected. But many people consider such formalities(客套)to be boring and time-consuming. They prefer instant messaging。

北京成人本科英语真题2014年11月Part ⅠReading ComprehensionDirections: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Jarden Zinc (锌) Products, a large zinc plant a few miles outside Greeneville, Tennessee, has a special claim. Since 1982, it has been the only supplier of penny blanks for the U.S. Mint (铸币厂). It's a good business for Jarden—since 2000, the company has earned more than $800 million. But it may not be a good deal for the U. S.The value of the penny has been dropping for years. In 2006, it began to cost more than a penny to make a penny. It now costs 2 ￠to produce a 1 ￠coin. Many countries have stopped using pennies. Is it time for the U. S. to do the same?Jarden and the zinc industry are fighting to keep the penny. Since 2006, Jarden has given $1.2 million to Americans for Common Cents (ACC). The group's mission is to keep the penny in use. Mark Weller is ACC's executive director. He argues that there are three main reasons for keeping the penny: Without it, we would become more reliant on the five-cent coin, which also has problems; charities(慈善机构) that depend on penny drives would not be able to raise as much money; and a 2012 survey shows that 67% of Americans want to keep the penny. Many people surveyed said they feared they would end up paying more for products.Many experts disagree with ACC. They point to the dozens of countries that have gotten rid of their lowest-value coins without raising prices for consumers. And charities don't seem too concerned either.President Barack Obama says the mint could explore using cheaper metals to make pennies. Steel is less expensive than zinc. Pennies are 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. But no matter what it is made of, the penny's days may be numbered. Most in-store purchases are now made with credit cards, not cash. Is it time for a change?1. What is the main idea of the passage?A.Many countries are trying to reduce the cost of making coins.B.These days a penny made is a penny wasted.C.There is disagreement over whether the U. S. should stop using pennies.D.Many countries have stopped using pennies.答案：C[解答] 主旨大意题。
