Reading ComprehensionSection AThe first attempt of even the most talen ted artists, musicians, and writers is seldom a masterpiece, If you consider your drafts as dress rehearsals (彩排), or tryouts, revising will seem a natural part of the writing ___5 0___.What is the purpose of the dress rehear sals and the out-of-town previews that many Broadway shows go through?

A. angles B. evidence C. informa tion D. hints64. A. unnecessary B. uninteresting C.co ncrete D. finalSection B(A)The elephant was lying heavily on its si de, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking a t it. The elephant woke up in a terrible ang er: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety.That didn’t stop the elephant. It destroy ed a dozen houses and injured several peopl e. The villagers were scared and angry. The n someone suggested calling Parbati, the elep hant princess.Parbati Barua’s father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Par bati to ride an elephant before she could ev en walk. He also taught her the dangerous a rt of the elephant round-up—how to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasn’t always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her f ather, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being t here and many years later she went back to her old fife. "Life in the city is too dull. C atching elephants is an adventure and the ex citement lasts for days after the chase, " she says.But Parbati doesn’t catch elephants just for fun. “My work, ” she says, “is to rescu e man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man. ” And this is exac tly what Parbati has been doing for many y ears. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is ang ry: for many years, illegal hunters have atta cked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now f ighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle befo re they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also inv olves love and devotion. A good elephant ta mer will spend hours a day singing love son gs to a newly captured elephant. “Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never f orget them. They are also more loyal than h umans, ” she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!65. For Parbati, catching elephants is m ainly to ________.A. get long lasting excitementB. keep bo th man and elephants safeC. send them back to the jungleD. ma ke the angry elephants tame66. Before Parbati studied in a boarding school, ________.A. she spent her time hunting with her fatherB. she learned how to sing love songsC. she had already been called an eleph ant princessD. she was taught how to hunt tigers67. Indian elephants are getting increasi ngly angry and they revenge because ______ _ A. they are caught and sent for heavy workB. illegal hunters capture them and kill themC. they are attacked and their land gets limitedD. dogs often bark at them and chase t hem68. The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India _____A. people easily fall victim to elephants’attacksB. the man-elephant relationship is getti ng worseC. elephant tamers are in short supplyD. dogs are as powerful as elephants(B)Trevor,C.O., Lansford, B. and Black, J. W., 2004, “Employee turnover (人事变更) an d job performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and promotion”, Journal o f Armchair Psychology, vol. 113, no. 1, pp. 56-64.In this article Trevor et al. review the i nfluences of pay and job opportunities in res pect of job performance, turnover rates and employees' job attitude. The authors use dat a gained through organizational surveys of b lue-chip companies in Vancouver, Canada to try to identify the main cause of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such as pay for p erformance and organizational reward plans. The article is useful as Trevor et al. sugges t that there are numerous reasons for emplo yee turnover and a variety of differences in employees' job attitude and performance. Th e main limitation of the article is that the s urvey sample was restricted to mid-level ma nagement, thus the authors indicate that furt her, more extensive research needs to be un dertaken to develop a more in-depth underst anding of employee turnover and job perfor mance. As this article was published in a pr ofessional journal, the findings can be consid ered reliable. It will be useful additional info rmation for the research on pay structures.The following card includes a brief sum mary and a short assessment of a research paper. It can provide a guide for further re ading on the topic.69. The research paper published is pri marily concerned withA. the way of preventing employee turn overB. methods of improving employee perfo rmanceC. factors affecting employee turnover a nd performanceD. pay structures based on employee pe rformance70. As is mentioned in the card, the lim itation of the research paper mainly lies in t hat.A. the data analysis is hardly reliableB. the research sample is not wide enou ghC. the findings are of no practical valueD. the research method is out-of-date71. Who might be most interested in thi s piece of information?A. Job hunters.B. Employees in blue-chip companies.C. Mid-level managers.D. Researchers on employee turnover.(C)The 2012 London Olympics had enough problems to worry about. But one more has just been added—a communications blacko ut caused by solar storms.After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a flesh c ycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, jus t in time for the arrival of the Olympic torc h in London.Now scientists believe that this peak cou ld result in vast solar explosions that could t hrow billions of tons of charged matter towa rds the Earth, causing strong solar storms t hat could jam the telecommunications satellit es and interact links sending five Olympic b roadcast from London.“The Sun’s activity has a strong influen ce on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum whic h could affect the functions of communicatio ns satellites, ” said Professor Richard Harris on, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.At the peak of the cycle, violent outburs ts called coronal mass ejections (日冕物质抛射) occur in the Sun’s atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter. “A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour. Suc h events can expose astronauts to a deadly a mount, can disable satellites, cause power fai lures on Earth and disturb communications,” Professor Harrison added. The risk is gre atest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots.Next week in America, NASA is schedul ed to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observato ry (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most ad vanced televisions available.The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory hel ped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the solar flares (太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur.Professor Richard Hold away, the lab’s director, said that the SDO should be able t o provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite comm unications on Earth “If we have advance wa rning, we’ll be able to reduce the damage. What you don’t want is things switching off for a week with no idea of what’s caused t he problem,” he said.()72. The phrase “communications blackou t” in paragraph 1 most probably refers to _ _______ during the 2012 Olympics.A. the extinguishing of the Olympic torc hB. the collapse of broadcasting systemsC. the transportation breakdown in Lon donD. the destruction of weather satellites73. What can be inferred about the sola r activity described in the passage?A. The most fatal matter from the coro na falls onto Earth.B. The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle.C. It takes several seconds for the char ged matter to reach Earth.D. The number of sunspots declines afte r coronal mass ejections.74. according to the passage, NASA will launch a satellite to ________.A. take images of the solar systemB. provide early warning of thunderstormsC. keep track of solar activitiesD. impr ove the communications on Earth75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Solar Storms: An Invisible KillerB. Solar Storms: Earth Environment in DangerC. Solar Storms: Threatening the Huma n RaceD. Solar Storms: Human Activities to B e TroubledSection CA. Drug overuse and its consequenceB. The problem of drug overuse in Ame ricaC. Benefits of medicine and its wise useD. Female drug overuse with reference t o that of malesE. Misuse of medicine among the young generationF. Improper use of medicine among seni or citizens76. ________Nowadays, millions of people misuse and even overuse pain medications and other dr ugs. Research by the American National Inst itute on Drug Abuse (NIDA, 1999) shows th at around 2% of the population over age 12 were using drugs non-medically.77. ________NIDA views medications as a powerful f orce for good in the contemporary world. T hey reduce and remove pain for millions of people suffering from illness and disease. Th ey make it possible for doctors to perform c omplicated surgery to save lives. Many peopl e afflicted by serious medical conditions are able to control their symptoms and become active, contributing citizens. NIDA points out that most individuals who take these drags use them in a responsible.78. ________Nevertheless, overuse of drugs such as o pium, central nervous system (CNS) depressa nts and stimulants does lead to harmful reli ance in some people and is therefore becomi ng a serious public health concern. Althoughthis abuse affects many people worldwide, p articular trends of concern to the medical pr ofession in the US appear among older adult s, teenagers arid women.79. ________Though it may be a surprise to many, t he misuse of medications may be the most c ommon form of drug abuse among the elder ly. Dr Kenneth Schrader of Duke University, North Carolina states that although the eld erly represent about 13% of the US populati on, those aged 65 and over account for the consumption of one third of all drugs. Peopl e in this age group use medications roughly three times more than the general populatio n and have poorer compliance with instructi on for use. In another study of elderly patie nts admitted to treatment programs, 70% we re women who had overused medicines.80. ________Unfortunately, this trend among women does not only affect those aged over 60. In general, among women and men who are usi ng either an anti-anxiety drug or a sedative, women are twice as likely to become addict ed. In addition, statistics compiled for 12-17 year olds show that teenage girls are more l ikely than teenage boys to begin overusing p sychotherapeutic medication such as painkille rs, tranquillizers, stimulants and sedatives.Section DPhys ed (physical education) is making a comeback as a part of the school core cur riculum(核心课程), but with a difference. Wh ile group sports are still part of the curricul um, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class. Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught t o lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance. In this way, kids are giv en the tools and skills and experiences so th ey can lead a physically active life the rest of their life.Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put i nto phys ed curriculum. In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-cl ass model with fitness programs but also sta rting up phys ed programs because school b oards often “put P. E. on the chopping bloc k, cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered, ” says Alicia M oag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Actio n for Health Kids. The difference in phys e d programs is partly due to the lack of a n ational standard. “Physical education needs t o be par t of the core curriculum, ” she add ed.The wisdom of the new approach has so me scientific support. Researchers at the Uni versity of Wisconsin have demonstrated howeffective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be. They observed how 50 overweight ch ildren lost more weight when they cycled an d skied cross-country than when they played sports. The researchers also found that teac hing sports like football resulted in less over all movement, partly because reluctant stude nts were able to sit on the bench.Another problem with simply teaching g roup sports in gym class is that only a tiny percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school. The new method teaches sells that translate to adulth ood.()(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS. )81. In the new P.

2010年高考英语阅读理解新题型-简答题（2）燎原高中Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.The unpunctual man, on one hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset (财产) as well as other’s. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he can not get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is the sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to do one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.81. If one is not punctual, that signifies that he________________________________________.82. According to the passage, what is the main reason that a person is alwaysunpunctual ?83. When should you show up if invited to dinner?84.

The main reason is that he always mismanages and wastes his time83. at the appointed time.84. punctual.（雷）Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every da y. “I was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working ha rder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” of “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit foremployees has really become an everyday thing. ” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”81. Why did David Smith refer to himself as “a clothes addict,” ?82. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because _________________________________.83. The majority of the employees said casual dress__________________________________.84. According to this passage, what does it mean by a conservative dress code?参考答案：81. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time82. they make him feel at ease when working83. improves their morale84. It means that everyone should dress up for work. （闵）。

2010年上海高考英语阅读理解新题型9Section ＤDirections:Read the following passage and complete the sentences or answer the questions according to the information given in the passage you have just read.I was only ten, but Mom couldn’t put off the Talk any longer. “I think,” she began, “that you should start investing some of that money you have saved.”Does a ten-year-old child really need to know the financial facts of life? As immigrants with little money, my parents were convinced that the time to teach children about investment building was as early as possible. They wanted my brother and me to get a head start on that long road to financial stability.Two years earlier my parents had helped me open my first bank account, and now my mother was introducing me to mutual funds. An enthusiastic pupil, I was soon contributing income from my paper route towards my investments.Then, later, as a high-school student with university on the horizon, I began to wonder how I could possibly afford the $2,200-a-year tuition. I had decided to major in sciences, with the aim of going on to medical school. In other words, there were a lot of years of tuition ahead of me.Clearly, it was time to step up my investing planning. I read investment magazines carefully and thoroughly for money-making advice. My comfort level grew, as did my investment. At the end of high school, I was able to pay for my university tuition. In fact, the proceeds of that investment supported me much of the way through medical school.Since Mom’s first chat ne arly two decades ago, I have come a long way as an investor. Above all, I have seen firsthand how smart investing can help you reach important goals in life. It’s partly thanks to the good financial habits I picked up as a child that I’m enjoying a medical residency on Edmonton today----thanks, in other words, to my money-wise Mom and Dad.1.When the writer’s parents opened his first bank account, the writer __________ years old？2.The time when the writer could afford his university tuition was _______________________.3.Why did the writer’s mother encourage the writer to learn to invest?4.What did the writer learn from the investment?Keys1.was 8.2.at the end of high school3.Because the writer’s parents were immigrants with little money.4.It can help you reach important goals in life.Section ＤDirections:Read the following passage and complete the sentences or answer the questions according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Thirty-two people watched Kitty Brown being killed beneath their windows. She was their neighbor. Yet none of them helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this inhuman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling about one’s fellow men?“ Not so.” Say scientists John Darley and Bibb Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to prove the reasons why people didn’t act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that there is an emergency.Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall down to the sidewalk. Is he having a heart attack? Or is he about to sleep off a drunk.Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak in the air conditioning? Is it “Steam pipes”? or is it really smoke from a fire? It’s not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.Second , and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible. He must feel that he must help or the person won’t get the help he needs.The researchers found a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be “tested”. Some came alone. Some came in large groups. The receptionist started them off on the “test”. Then she went into the next room. A curtain divided the “testing room” and the room which she wanted. Soon the students heard the scream, the noise of file cabinets falling and a cry for help.

But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle an ever larger number of electronic devices(电子产品)as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a significantamount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people around them always wear an earphone or headphone in the ear or on the head, listening to music , or playing video games on mobile phones, they can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.Multitasking also affects young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinion of the effect of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response (反应). However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.1. The underlined word “juggle” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ______________________2. By saying multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members, the author implies that young people ______________________.3. What do the young people think of multitasking?4.

Tens of thousands of tons of milk containing melamine ( 三聚氢胺) has been pulled from shelves since September. The Health Ministry has not released a total figure for the amount of impure dairy products recalled and how much has been destroyed. But last month alone, more than 32,000 tons were disposed of in Hebei province, according to Xinhua news agency.Local governments now face the huge and costly problem of safely disposing of the products. Since many peopl e doubted the government’s food safety standards, Beijing has issued new guidelines on how to destroy the polluted products. The government’s advice: to burn or to bury.It recommends burning the milk in large-capacity stoves or, if such facilities are not available, burying small amounts in landfills--- as long as local environmental departments approve. Burning or burying breaks down melamine and neutralizes its poison, said a Geneva-based scientist at the WHO’s food safety department. But both methods do not come cheap. Burning the tainted milk costs about US$100 a ton, said an official in Beijing. Putting the milk in landfills is cheaper---about US$29 a ton ---thought there are limits on how much can be buried each day.Some local authorities have come up with more creative solutions: mixing the tainted milk into cement bricks and even coal. At a factory in the southern city of Guangzhou, tainted milk powder was burned, then mixed into cement, said Guangzhou’s food safety office director.At a power plant in Qingdao, some eight tons of tainted milk powder was poured into a towering pile of coal, which was then burned to generate electricity. Despite the guidelines on proper disposal of the tainted milk, there have been violations. In Guangzhou, the local government took over responsibility for disposal after a garbage company poured tainted milk in to the city river, causing concerns among residents about the safety of water supply. The company was fined US$29,000.1.The government’s advice on disposing of th e tainted milk is __________________________.2.What is the disadvantage of the method of burning and burying.

2010年上海高三英语高考阅读理解新题型13新人教版Section ＤDirections:Read the following passage and complete the sentences or answer the questions according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Writing being largely a self-taught occupation, texts on how to get about it —though great in number— seldom are of much use.You try, and fail. Then try again, and perhaps fail not quite so grievously. Until at last, if you have some gift for it, the failures become less frequent, or at any rate less noticeable.It is this ability to conceal one’s defects（瑕疵）that passes, finally, for accomplishment.Along the way there are the discouragements of unkind criticism, outright rejection, nagging insecurity and irregular inability to meet debts.It is uncommon, therefore, to come across a book containing advice of much practical value for anyone toying with the dangerous idea of staring on a writing life.A friend recently loaned me such a book, however —one I wish I’d had the luck to read years ago, and which I would commend to any young person bent on making a career of words. It is the autobiography of the English novelist Anthony Trollope, first published in 1883, the year after his death.Needing some means to support himself, Trollope at age 19 signed on as a junior clerk in the British postal service. He was at his desk at 5:30 each morning to write for three hours. And he remained in the mail service 33 years, long after reputation and prosperity had come to him.Now, what of his advice?1. For safety’s sake, arm yourself with some other skills, some other line of work to fall back on. That way, failure at writing, though the disappointment may be keen, will not mean utter ruin.2. Do not depend overly much on inspiration. Writing is a craft, which Trollope compared to the craft of shoemaking. The shoemaker who has just turned out one pair of his work sets to work immediately on the next pair.3. Have a story to tell, but, more important than that, people it with characters who will speak and move as living creatures in the reader’s mind. Without memorable c haracters, story alone isnothing.4. Meet your deadlines. Life is endlessly “painful and troublesome” for writers who can’t finish their work on time.5. Do not be inflated by praise. And, above all, do not be crushed by criticism.6. Understand the risks of writing for a living. “The career, when successful, is pleasant enough certainly; but when unsuccessful, it is of all careers the most painful.”1. What is the passage mainly about?2. From the context, what does the phrase “pass for” in Paragraph 3 mean?3. According to the author, what is the definition of writing ?4. What is the author ’s most probable profession?Keys:1. The passage is mainly about sound advice provided in A. Trollope’s autobiography.2. It means “be regarded as”.3. Writing is basically a self-taught occupation and no instructions on how to deal with it are of any practical use.4. He is most probably a writer.Section ＤDirections:Read the following passage and complete the sentences or answer the questions according to the information given in the passage you have just read.A long-awaited final report from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concludes that foods from healthy cloned animals and their offspring are as safe as those from ordinary animals, effectively removing the last US regulatory barrier to the marketing of meat and milk from clonedcattle, pigs and goats.The 968-page "final risk assessment," not yet released but obtained by The Washington Post, finds no evidence to support people’s concerns that fo od from clones may have hidden risks. But, recognizing that a majority of consumers are wary of food from clones—and that cloning could damage the good image of American milk and meat—the report includes hundreds of pages of raw data so that others can see how it came to its conclusions.The report also acknowledges that human health concerns are not the only subject raised by the coming-out of cloned farm animals.“Moral, religious and ethical concerns have been raised,” the agency notes in a document acco mpanying the report. But the report is “exactly a science-based assessment.” It reports, because the agency is not authorized by law to consider those issues.In practice, it will be years before foods from clones make their way to store shelves in large quantities, in part because the clones themselves are too valuable to kill or milk. Instead, the expensive animals — replicas(复制品) of some of the finest farm animals ever born — will be used firstly as breeding stock to create what supporters say will be a new generation of superior farm animals.When food from those animals hits the market, the public may yet have its say. FDA officials have said they do not expect to require food from clones to be labeled as such, but they may allow foods from ordinary animals to be labeled as not from clones.1. What conclusion has FAD drawn after the public waited for a long time?2. Foods from clones won’t be available soon partly because __________________________.3.

2010年某某高三英语高考阅读理解新题型4 Bill Gates and the president of General Motors have met for lunch, and Bill is going on and on about computer technology. “If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades, you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a B-8, and it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour,〞says Bill. “Or, you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles on a gallon of gas. In either case, the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50. Why haven’t you guys kept up?〞The president of GM smiles and says, “Because the federal government won’t let us build cars that crash four times a day.〞Why is that funny (or not funny, as the case may be)? Human beings love to laugh, and the average adult laughs 17times a day. Humans love to laugh so much that there are actually industries built around laughter. Jokes, sitcoms and comedies are all designed to get us laughing, because laughing fells good. For us it seems so natural, but the funny thing is that humans are one of the only species that laughs. Laughter is actually a complex response that involves many of the same skills used in solving problems.Laughter is a great thing. That’s why we’ve all heard of the saying, “Laughte r is the best medicine.〞There is strong evidence that laughter can actually improve health and help fight disease. In this article. We’ll look at laughter-what it is, what happens in our brains when we laugh, what makes us laugh and how it can make us hea lthier and happier.

But when British people say their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family〞in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family-----hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one’s parents and starting one’s own life. The man’s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife’s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common respon sibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have the right to interfere with them-----they are their own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former time marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl’s parents, that is, it was the parents’ duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. At that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parent’s home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.1. The author mean by “family is of course an elastic word〞?____________________________________________________________2.

It is a problem to nearly everyone at some time .A person may be awake for an hour in the middle of the night and then , next morning, feel that he hardly sleep all night Normally, worry about not getting enough sleep is the worst aspect of most insomnia. If insomnia is recurrent, however, it is important to find its causes and try to correct them, with the help of a doctor if necessary.Any of a large number of simple factors may take it difficult for someone to fall asleep or remain asleep. His matters may be too soft or too hard. If there are too many blankets on a hot night, he may be too warm; if the bedclothes are too light he may feel cold during the night. If it is not dark enough, or too noisy, this may cause difficulty in sleeping. Eating shortly before going to bed also be responsible for insomnia. Stimulating drinks, such as tea or coffee, can also keep people awake.Inability to fall asleep is sometimes a symptom of emotional or mental disorders. Insomnia may also be caused by pain and, very rarely, it can be a symptom of a physical disease.The cause of insomnia may be easy to correct. The sufferer should check the mattress, bedclothes and bedroom temperature, and make any necessary changes. An eye mask keeps out the night and ear-plugs shut out sound. He should relax for an hour or two before bedtime, perhaps byreading a book; watching TV, or taking a warm bath. If he wakes during the night he should try turning on the light and reading for a while. Taking warm milk and a biscuit or two may be helpful. Above all, he should try not to worry about sleeplessness when someone is tied enough he nearly always falls asleep.If necessary, a doctor may prescribe tranquilizers or sleeping pills. Take only the dosage he prescribes; any more is dangerous.1. What is the word ‘recurrent’ mean in the first paragraph?2. Insomnia can be symptoms of ______________________.3.

Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom, ‘Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?’〞says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.〞Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent—child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.〞But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “There’s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,〞says Kerrie, a psychol ogy professor at LebanonValleyCollege. “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.〞Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.“My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change, but today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side,〞explains Mr. Ballmer. “It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.〞1.

2010年高考英语阅读理解新题型-简答题〔2〕燎原高中Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.The unpunctual man, on one hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset (财产) as well as other’s. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he can not get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is the sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to do one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.81. If one is not punctual, that signifies that he________________________________________.82.

He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m workingharder than ever,〞David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.〞More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday). This became know n as “dress-down Friday〞of “casual Friday〞. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.〞 said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,〞 says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.〞 Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,〞one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.〞81.

Then answer the questions or complete statements in the fewest possible words.On his way to the White House, Barack Obama received huge support from black voters------ more than 95 percent of whom voted for him. But despite that suppot, some blacks worry that Obama〞s historic achievements might not be all good news for the civil rights struggle.They fear that growing numbers of white voters and policy makers will decide that ending racial discrimination and creating equal opportunity have largely been done. And it might become harder to find support for policies that were intended to fight discrimination, injustices, and urban poverty.“I worry that there is a numbers of population that might be harder to motivate, average citizens who will say : Come on. We have a black president, so we must be over it〞，says Roderick J. Harrison, a sociologist at HowardUniversity in Washington, D.C.“That is the danger, that we declare victory,〞says Harrison, “Historic as this moment is, it does not represent a major victory in the continuing, daily battle.〞Such concerns have been building for moths, on black talk- radio shows and blogs, in dinner conversations, academic meetings, and e-mail messages across the country.Others dismiss the idea that Obama’s success might weaken support for race-based policies. They praise Obama’s emphasis on solution to economic problems like troubled schools, unemployment, and inadequate health insurance. Addressing these problems, which affect all Americans, would certainly help blacks.While many in the black community believe there’s still a lot of work to be done, that doesn’t lessen their sense of Obama’s historic achievement.Lauren McGlory, a black student at the University of Virginia, says she still experiences racism, and Obama’s election doesn’t change that. But she’s been thinking recently about all the black parents telling their children they can be anything they want to be when they grow up, and about how that message suddenly has a real-life example in the face of Obama.“It is a great thing that Obama did win.〞McGlory says, “I’m not trying to downplay that.

Trying to solve4. Some social problems concerning blacks still exist despite Obama’s elelction.De-hua CaoOne of Hollywood’s “celluloid ceilings〞has been smashed now that Kathryn Bigelow has become the first female ever to win a Best Director Oscar.“There’s no other way to describe it, it’s the moment of a lifetime,〞said a clearly overwhelmed Bigelow, at the awards ceremony in Los Angeles, on Sunday.She was up against the highest grossing film of all time, Avatar. But Bigelow’s small-budget film, The Hurt Locker, swept the awards with six trophies, including Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and the big one: Best Picture.But all eyes were on Bigelow, as her movie about an explosive disposal unit in the Iraq War beat A vatar to the major awards. This was sweetened by the fact Avatar’s director, James Cameron, is her ex-husband.Bigelow played down the momentous occasion last week, telling CBS, “There’s really no difference between what I do and what a might do. I mean we all try to make our days, we all try to give the best performances we can, we try to make our budget, we try to make the best movie we possibly can. So in that sense it’s very similar.〞“On the other hand, I think the journey for women, no matter what venue it is–politics, business, film–it’s a long journey.〞Ironically Bigelow’s cinematic journey could not have strayed farther from the path of female directors before her. Her filmography is filled with action movies that are low on female leads and high on guns and steel. Her films focus on men: their fears, bonds and rites of passage.The Hurt Locker is in the same style. The war pic features an anti-hero, William James (Jeremy Renner who was also nominated for the Best Actor Oscar), leading a crew of competing male egos in removing roadside bombs around Iraq. James is addicted to risk taking and enjoys putting his fellow soldiers in constant peril. Many scenes feature dramatic confrontations of clashing male personalities.By focusing on these male relationships, critics praised The Hurt Locker for avoiding overt political statements (something Avatar was heavily criticized for), and instead painting a truthful picture of modern war.And is there an entertaining end to the story of Bigelow’s victor y? She won on International Women’s Day. It is, after all, Hollywood.1.How many Oscar awards did The Hurt Locker win?

Why are uniforms so popular in the USA?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people uniforms look more professional than civilian clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The televisio repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save laundry bills. They are tax-deductible〔可减税的〕. They are often more comfortable and more long-lasting than civilian clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individaulity experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types ofcivilian clothes.1.

Rightly so. But selfishly. I' m more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the world' s attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see.Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined. The prevailing theory seems to be that we' re all hot-tempered single mothers who can' t keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can' t escape the stereotype of being eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic 〔酗酒的〕mothers.These images have helped define the way all black women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause, charity or foundation as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simple to be herself.It won't be easy. Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African-American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis. For better or worse, Michelle will represent us all.Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. Many African-American blogs have written about what they' d like to see Michelle bring to the White House——mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyone——an impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise〔沉着〕. Confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image that' s been around for far too long.1.
