People with many varying points of view are constantly running up against others who have differing opinions. Those of us who smoke are just one group of many. Recently, the activism of non-smokers has reminded us of the need to be considerate of others when we smoke in public.But, please! Enough is enough! We should like to remind non-smokers that courtesy is a two-way street. If you politely request that someone not smoke you are more likely to receive a cooperative response than if you scowl（皱眉）fiercely and hurl insults. If you speak directly to someone, you are more likely to get what you want than if you complain to the management.Many of us have been smoking for so long that we sometimes forget that others are not used to the aroma of burning tobacco. We’re human, and like everyone else we occasionally offend unknowingly. But most of us are open to friendly suggestions and comments, and quite willing to modify our behavior to accommodate others.Smokers are people, too. We laugh and cry. We have hopes, dreams, aspirations.We have children, and mothers, and pets. We eat our hamburgers with everything on them and salute the flag at Fourth of July picnics.

Complain to his superior.B. Tell him directly that you hate smokers.C. Refrain from complaining but try to hint him next time.D. Tell him politely that you are not used to smoke.4. According to the author, why do some smokers smoke in public?A. Because they cannot resist smoking.B. Because they forget that others do not like the smell of cigarettes.C.

At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer network didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working on the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” in the Internet more convenient.Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’s life.1.

He inherited（继承）a million dollars when he was 23, but he wasn’t happy at all. When his college friends were looking for their jobs, he didn’t have to. Jack decided to live a simple life like everyone else. He gave $10,000 of his money to a charity（慈善机构）to help poor children live a better life. Today he is 36. He still wears cheap shoes and clothes and drives a small car only, but he is very happy.Up to now Jack has helped some children from poor countries all over the world, by sending them each $200 a month.

He said that the meeting was very exciting. “When I met her, I felt very, very happy.” he said. “And I saw tha t the money was used for a good cause. It brought me happiness.

If we could learn a second language in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of what a small child does. He listens to what people say and tries to imitate what he hears. When he wants something he has to ask for it. He is using the language, talking in it, thinking in it all the time. If people had to use a second language all the time, they would learn it quickly.We learn our own language by hearing people speak it, not by seeing what they write. We imitate what we hear. In school, though you learn to read and write as well as to hear and speak, it is best to learn all the new words through the ear. You can read them, spell them and write them later.1. Everyone learns his mother language when he ________.A. is a childB. was a childC. was a manD. is five2. A small child learns to speak by imitating ________.A. what people thinkB. what people doC. what people sayD. what people hear3. People can learn a language quickly if they ________.A. imitate itB. ask for itC. use it from time to timeD. hear it4. It is best to learn new words through ______ first.A. readingB. spellingC. listeningD. writing5. What is the best way to learn a language?A. Listening to what people say.B. Imitating what people do.C. Using the language all the time.D. Both A and C.Key: ACCCDPassage 15The Chinese New Year is now known as the Spring Festival because it startsfrom the beginning of spring. Though there are some sayings about its origin, all agree that the word Nian, which in modern Chinese means “year”, was originally the name of a beast that started to eat people the night before the beginning of a new year.One story goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would take in a great many people at one time. People were very afraid. One day, an old man came to their help and said he would stop all this. He said to Nian, “I hear that you are very strong, but can you eat up all the beasts on earth instead of people who are too weak to be your enemies?” “Yes,” Nian agreed with him and went to kill many of the beasts on earth. People were very happy because those beasts also did bad things to people and killed their farm animals from time to time.After that, the old man, who was a god, rode on the beast Nian and left. Nian was gone, and other beasts also went into forests; people began to enjoy their happy life. Before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper-cuts on their windows and doors at each year’s end to drive Nian away, because red is the color the beast felt most afraid of.From then on, every year at the beginning of spring, people prepare to “Guo Nian”. The word “Guo Nian” means “go through the Nian safely”. Putting up red paper-cuts to drive Nian away and making dumplings for a better new year are still an every-year doing by the Chinese people. However, people today have long forgotten why they are doing all this, they just feel the color and the food make the New Year very enjoyable.1. The Chinese New Year is also called __________.A. the Beginning of SpringB. the Spring FestivalC. the New SpringD. the Beast Nian2. How did the old man stop Nian from eating people?A. By putting red paper-cuts on windows.B. By eating up beasts.C. By talking to him.D. By riding on him.3. Why did people put on red paper-cuts instead of those of any other color?A. Because Nian liked the color red.B. Because the color red could kill Nian.C. Because the old man like the color red.D. Because Nian was afraid of the color red.4. The best title of this passage is “__________”.A. The Origin of the Chinese New YearB. The Old Man and the Beast NianC. How to Go Through the Nian safelyD. What Nian Was Like5. Which of the following statement is TRUE?A. Nian can eat up all the beasts on earth at one time.B. Nian is a tall beast that likes to eat farm animals.C. Nian is afraid of paper-cuts.D.

40篇短文覆盖3500高考单词一宗谋杀案When giving a lecture about the significance of punctuation, the academic professor was interrupted and arrested by the police for murdering his wife, a receptionist of a kindergarten. The police found some photos he deleted from their e-album showing that they used to have a gay life. But, fed up with her wrinkled face, he murdered her instead of divorcing her to avoid fortune division. He cut up a kind of seashell with a sharpened knife, and hammered it into powder on a skateboard, and made at most one gram, which was enough to accelerate one’s pulse until he or she dies. This kind of poison can date back to 10,000 BC when people rubbed it on spears to kill beasts. The professor mixed the poison with onion, watermelon and yogurt for his wife. Howling and scratching her chest, she felt dizzyand died soon.那位学院的教授在发表关于标点符号重要意义的演讲时被警察打断了，他因谋杀自己的妻子——一位幼儿园的接待员——而被逮捕。

第6篇Something in chocolate could be used to stop coughs and lead to more effective medicines , say UK researchers .Their study found that theobromine （可碱）,found in cocoa, was nearly a third more effective in stopping coughs than codeine （可待因）, which was considered the best cough medicine at present .The Imperial （皇家的;帝国的）College London researchers who published their results on li ne said the discovery could lead to more effective cough treatme nt "While coughing is not necessarily harmful it can have a major effect on the quality of life , and this discovery could be a huge step forward in treating this problem ," said a professor .Ten healthy volunteers were given theobromine , codeine or placebo （安慰齐U） , apill that contains no medicine , during the experiment . Neither the volunteers nor the researchers knew who received which pill , The researchers then measured levelsof capsaicin （辣椒碱）,which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign ofhow well the medicine are stopping coughs.The team found that , when the volunteers were given theobromine , the capsaicinneed to produce a cough was around a third higher than in the placebo group . Whenthey were given codeine they need only slightly higher levels of capsaicin to cause a cough compared with the placebo .The researchers said that theobromine worked by keeping down a nerve activity （神经活动）,which cause coughing . They also found that unlike some standard cough treatme nts , theobro mine caused n o side effects （不良反应；副作用）such as sleep in ess .英国研究人员（researcher ）说，巧克力（chocolate ）中的某种成分可用于止咳（cough），并可用于生产更有效的（effective ）药物。
