Reading ComprehensionPassage oneSpeeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in for an unwelcome surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer (锁止器), and a radio signal from a control centre miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cell phone, a micro- processor and memory, and a GPS (全球定位系统) satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded cell phone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicle's engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted.In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. 'The pattern of vehicle crime has changed,' says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using abare minimum of tools. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won't allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (点火) key. In the UK, technologies like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting bold of the owner's keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.If the car travels 100 meters without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to an operations centre that it has been stolen. The hundred meters minimum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal.Staff at the centre will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing, and keep police informed of the vehicle's movements via the car's GPS unit.41. What's the function of the remote immobilizer fitted to a car?A) To allow the car to lock automatically when stolen.B) To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops.C) To help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief.D) To prevent car theft by sending a radio signal to the car owner.42. By saying 'The pattern of vehicle crime has changed' (Lines 1-2. Para. 3). Martyn Randall suggests that ____.A) self-prepared tools are no longer enough for car theftB) the thief has to make use of computer technologyC) it takes a longer time for the car thief to do the stealingD) the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years old43. What is essential in making a modem car tougher to steal?A) A GPS satellite positioning receiver.C) A special cell phone signal.B) A unique ID card. D) A coded ignition key.44. Why does the tracking system set a 100-metre minimum before sending an alarm to the operations centre?A) To give the driver time to contact the operations centre.B) To allow for possible errors in the GPS system.C) To keep police informed of the car's movements.D) To leave time for the operations centre to give an alarm.45. What will the operations centre do first after receiving an alarm?A) Start the tracking system. C) Contact the car owner.B) Locate the missing car.D) Block the car engine.Passage TwoEducating girls quite possibly yields a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. Women's education may be unusual territory for economists, but enhancing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its emphasis on incentives (激励), provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of an education.Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else's family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and art kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school - the prophecy（预言) becomes self- fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of neglect.An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes itmuch more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.Few will dispute that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.46. The author argues that educating girls in developing countries is ____.A) rewarding C) expensiveB) troublesome D) labor-saving47. By saying "... the prophecy becomes self-fulfilling ..." (Lines 45. Para. 2), the author means that ____.A) girls will eventually find their goals in life beyond reachB) girls will be increasingly discontented with their life at homeC) girls will be capable of realizing their own dreamsD) girls will turn out to be less valuable than boys48. The author believes that a vicious circle can turn into a virtuous circle when ___.A) women care more about educationB) parents can afford their daughters' educationC) girls can gain equal access to educationD) a family has fewer but healthier children49. What does the author say about women's education?A) It has aroused the interest of a growing number of economists.B) It will yield greater returns than other known investments.C) It is now given top priority in many developing countries.D) It deserves greater attention than other social issues.50. The passage mainly discusses ____.A) unequal treatment of boys and girls in developing countriesB) the major contributions of educated women to societyC) the economic and social benefits of educating womenD) the potential earning power of well-educated women。

2014-2015春中二英语试题(含答案1)DEven so, travel isn’t difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery (风光) and cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italiansescaped from a war over 1,500 years ago, and built homes there.Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there’s nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it’s underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has mad e the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt (融化).Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy’s biggest companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be build under the seawater to stop the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

Joel is a fisherman, and he was going on a short fishing trip. “I’ll see you in a week,” he said. But Joel didn’t see his wife in a week. He didn’t see his wife for a long, long time.Joel left his house and went to the harbor in Puntarenas, Costa Rica. He got on a fishing boat. Four other fishermen were on the boat, too. The boat left the harbor and the men began to fish.The first few hours on the ocean were not unusual. Then there was a terrible storm. The storm lasted for 22 days. When the storm finally stopped, the men checked their boat. Their fishing nets were gone. The engine and the radio didn’t work. There was no food, and there was no fresh water.For the next few hours, the men talked and planned. “How can we survive on the ocean?” they asked oneanother. Without their nets, the men couldn’t fish. But they could reach out of the boat and catch big turtles. The men didn’t want to eat raw turtle meat, so they needed a fire for cooking. They tore down the boat’s wood cabin and made a fire with the wood.They needed protection from the sun and rain, so they built a simple roof. The roof held rainwater, too. The men could drink rainwater from the roof.For the next five months the men ate turtles---when they caught them. They drank rainwater---when it rained. Often there was no food and no water, and the men were hungry and thirsty. Sometimes they thought, “We are going to die soon.”Joel wrote a letter to his wife. “My dear Edith,” Joel wrote. “If I die, I hope someone will send you this letter. Then you will know how I died. I had the best in life---a great woman and beautiful children. I love you, Edith. I love you.”In June it didn’t rain for a long time, and the men ran out of water. They were thin and weak, and they thought, “We are going to die now.” They put on their best clothes, lay down, and closed their eyes. After a while it began to rain. The men stood up and licked the water from the roof. Then all five men began to cry. Ten days later, on June 15, a Japanese fishing boat found the men. They were 4,000 miles from Costa Rica.Nobody sent Joel’s letter to his wife. He showed it to his wife himself. Joel will always keep the letter. The letter, he says, helps him remember. “On the ocean I realized that I love my wife and children very, very much. My family is everything to me. I don’t want to forget that.”(91-95 on the answer sheet.)C. Advanced Test. (20 Points)Part 1. In your opinion, what do you think of the following questions? Write down your answer.96.
