AA famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ￥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “W ho would like this ￥100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once.Then he said, “I am going to give this ￥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air. “Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable l esson today. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value. It was still worth ￥l00!”Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing.

Jerusha was probably while she worked on the letter.A. curiousB. light-heartedC. seriousD. skepticalCSome expressions in English can be really puzzling. Have a look at the following to see how it challenges your brainpower.Homeric laughterThe "Homer" in this expression is the Greek poet. People laugh differently. Some laugh silently, while others tend to laugh loudly. "Homeric laughter" refers to laughter of the latter kind. It is at times uncontrollable, and the entire body shakes during the process. This kind of laughter is called Homeric laughter because this is how the gods laughed in Homer's classics.A three-ring circusWhen you refer to a situation as being a three-ring circus, you are saying that it is a situation of complete confusion. There are so many activities taking place all together that they leave you confused or annoyed. The expression comes from the world of entertainment — the circus. The area where the artists perform their acts is called the "ring". In the past, some of the circuses were so grand that they had three acts taking place simultaneously in three different "rings". The audience had to decide which "ring" they wanted to focus on.In the swim (of things)When someone is in the swim of things, the individual is actively participating in the things happening around him, as in "I've been ill, but soon I’ll be back in the swim of thing." In the world of fishing, fishermen use the word "swim" to refer to the section of the lake/river where fish can be found in plenty. So, if you are a fisherman and wish to catch a lot offish, where would you be? You would be "in the swim".Chickens have come home to roostThe word "roost" refers to the place where birds rest. It could be anything — the branch of a tree, a henhouse, etc. The expression is normally used to mean that the bad things that someone did in the past have come back to bite or upset the individual. In other words, one has to face the consequences of the deeds done in the past. The original form of this 700-year-old expression was "curses are like chickens; they always come home to roost".57. Which of the following can best describe the picture?A. Homeric laughterB. A three-ring circusC. In the swim (of things)D. Chickens have come home to roost58. What does the underlined word "simultaneously'(Paragraph 3) mean?A. At the same time.B. Step by step.C. All of a sudden.D. One after another.59. lf you want to know more about such expressions, which website will you probably visit?A. /sports/China.htmlB. /world/university.htmlC. /culuture/language.htmlD. /entertainment/fashion.html60. The passage is written to .A. tell readers some old and interesting storiesB. indicate the development of English phrasesC. correct some misunderstandings about wordsD. explain the meanings and origins of some phrasesDSeth DeBolt is a plant scientist at the University of Kentucky US. He and other scientists wanted to find a source of fuel that poor people in rural areas of developing countries could use to make electricity.The United Nations Development Program says a billion and a half people have no electricity.A billion others have an undependable supply.Professor DeBolt went on a study trip to rural Indonesia. He saw that there was very little waste in the use of agricultural products. Everything that farmers grew was used for something. Even the remains of fruit that people did not eat were fed to chickens.Little waste meant there was little that could be used for fuel. Growing a separate fuel crop would take land away from food crops. That was something Professor DeBolt did not want to do.DeBOLT said, "The people at most risk with respect to energy poverty, typically they're the same people who have food insecurity issues as it is. And then any change in availability would be most damaging to that group of people."But he found one item that was in plentiful supply and would not create competition between food and fuel. Coconut shells are generally thrown out. Yet Professor DeBolt says it has an "excellent" heating value. All someone needs is a way to release that energy.DeBolt says he and his team see possibilities for coconut power. "Coconuts are growing here and these are the areas where there is possibility for energy poverty to be eased at least in part by these small-scale production systems."The researchers say these systems could provide as much as thirteen percent of the energy needs of a country like Indonesia. Other tropical countries with large crops of coconuts and similar fruit could benefit, as well.But DeBolt says this is not a perfect solution. There are technical questions, like how to safely deal with the dangerous waste produced in the process. And there needs to be money to get these projects started.61. Professor DeBolt went on a study trip to rural areas of developing countries to .A. help farmers make full use of wasteB. seek certain materials to make electricityC. persuade farmers to grow more coconutsD. find a suitable place to carry out the experiment62. DeBolt thought it was not a good idea to grow fuel crops because .A. there are plenty of coconutsB. local farmers have no interest in itC. it would make food problems worseD. fuel crop has little use for local farmers63. The last two paragraphs mainly tell us that coconut power .A. needs further experiments and effortsB. can help solve energy problem perfectlyC. will cause technique and money problemsD. has drawn Indonesia's government attention64. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Make Full Use Of CoconutsB. Make Power From CoconutsC. A Perfect SolutionD. Food And Energy Problems第二节：阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从A、B、C、D和E中选出最适合放入短文空缺处的选项。

Nicknames can also be funny.Los Angeles has several nicknames. One is simply the city's initials, L.A. It is also called the City of Angels because Los Angeles means "the angels" in Spanish.Los Angeles often has warm, sunny weather. So another nickname is City of Flowers and Sunshine. New York is called The Big Apple. So Los Angeles is sometimes called The Big Orange because of the fruit that grows in that city's warm climate.The American movie and television industries are based in Los Angeles.

I missed my work, my colleagues, my friends and even the overcrowded Mumbai locals. My job with a large financial company seemed like a distant dream. Back in the l990s, smaller Indian towns had barely any financial activity. For someone used to spending over twelve hours working, sitting home was punishment. I needed to work so I sent my resume to all suitable offices.But after almost a month of serious job-hunting I was still jobless. I felt worthless. My husband was busy with the demands of his new task and l felt well and truly alone.Then one day a neighbor dropped in. She happened to read through what l wrote about my trouble after tough days of job-bunting. "You write quite well, " she remarked casually. She left, but the thought remained. After months of being rejected, I began to consider what my neighbor said. I was good at something...or was she merely out of politeness?That evening over dinner I mentioned the incident to my husband. He suggested that should have an attempt at the local newspaper. I had never expected to work for the newspaper. I had nothing to recommend myself - no qualifications, no background, and no experience. However. the next morning, armed with the shreds(醉⽚) of my confidence and my resume, went to the newspaper office. The interviewer silently handed me a copy and said, "Edit it. " When I finished, I handed it back to him. I waited breathlessly for the words "Your experience doesn't fit you to do this job. " "This is not bad," he said, "but you'll be starting at the bottom of the ladder. " Iwas being offered a job!That was not the end of my story, though. Each day was a challenge but I learnt. Ironically (讽刺地) enough , a year later I was approached by the financial corporation I had been working for in Mumbai. They were setting up offices in our city and wanted me to head the operations. And guess what! It was my turn to say "No, thank you. "61. Why did the author give up her job with a financial company?A. Because she lost interest in it.B. Because the company closed down.C.

Although some sites do contain walking trails, the North Alabama Birding Trail is not an actual trail. Some of the sites are roadside stops and others are located in parks , preserves , or wildlife(避难所) . A few sites can be explored by canoe or boat. All of the sites were selected because they provide excellent opportunities for bird watching.A committee made up of conservation groups, wildlife experts, and birding enthusiasts (狂热者) selected the sites for the trail. The sites can be visited all the year round. although some offer greater diversity at certain seasons. Habitats along the NABT include forests, rivers, wetlands. and grasslands. A variety of birds may be seen at some of the stops along the trail. Some sites have large concentrations of migratory birds, which have regular seasonal journeys. Other stops allow a glimpse of rare or endangered birds. Types of birds that may be seen along the trail include water birds, shore birds, songbirds, and raptors(猛禽) .Telescopes are handy when you are visiting the birding sites. The NABT is divided into three geographical sections: the Northeast Loop, the Central Loop ,and the Northwest Loop. Stops in the Northeast Loop include Guntersville State Park, the Guntersville Peninsula, Little River Canyon National Preserve, and Roy B. Whitaker Paint Rock River Preserve. Sites along the Central Loop include Monte Sano State Park, Round Island Recreation Area, Hays Nature Preserve, and anumber of sites within Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge. The Northwest Loop includes stops at Joe Wheeler State Park, Wilson Dam, Freedom Hills Wildlife Management Area, and sites within Bankhead National Forest.All of these sites have guaranteed public access and parking areas. Restrooms and food service are available at some sites. but other sites have no facilities at all. A Visitors' Guide can be requested online or downloaded from the NABT website, northalabama birdingtrail. com . The guide includes a map to the sites.

Others had cokes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids'. But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9：00 each night and up at 7：45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends' report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the measure of being a dropout.She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background, I'm now trying to bring up my three children. I'm filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.【小题1】．From the passage we can learn that the writer's mother was ______.A．not generous at all B．very strict with her childrenC．very mean with money matters D．very cruel to her children【小题2】．Which of the following things did the writer hate to do most?A．Eating differently from other kids.

She too is speaking Mandarin.English is rarely heard in Lisa Yang’s class at the Chinese American International School (CAIS), despite the fact that few students are native speakers of Mandarin.The United States is actively trying to increase the group of students in “critical languages” such as Mandarin. The students at CAIS are way ahead in such a trend.Founded 25 years ago, this small private school in San Francisco, USA, does what few other American schools do: It produces fully fluent speakers of Mandarin Chinese, by far the mostcommonly spoken language in the world.Mandarin Chinese is suddenly hot in American schools. A s China becomes the world’s leading economy sometimes this century, schools in the U.S. are scrambling to add Mandarin to their roster of foreign languages or expand Chinese programs already in place.“It really is almost unprecedented(无前例的). People are looking at China as a force to be reckoned with…And to ensure that the U.S. has the ability to conduct trade, and to work with the Chinese, certainly having an understanding of Chinese language and culture is an advantage,” said Marty Abbott of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) (美国外语教学协会).To develop Chinese-language programs has not been smooth. A shortage of trained teachers has made it difficult for some schools to join the race. When schools do get teachers, they often hire them straight from China, and the teachers usually suffer culture shock when they come to the U.S. Robert Liu remembers his first two years in an American classroom. It was not an easy adjustment. “In China, students respect their teachers,” he said. Liu found that American students, however, expect an active teaching style. He had to use games to engage them rather than lectures. To avoid many of the problems with foreign teaching styles, the CAIS has been working with the Chinese government to improve training of teachers who are sent to the U.S.【小题1】. Which of the following is not true according to the passage.A.Understanding Chinese language and culture is helpful to work with the Chinese.B. chinese-language programs have met trouble during the development.C. Many other American schools do the same as the CAIS founded 25 years ago.D. A lack of trained Mandarin Chinese teachers is a problem for the programs.【小题2】. What kind of problem is the most difficult to adjust in teaching Chinese in America?A.To adapt themselves to American lifestyles.B.To communicate with the American students.C.To get along well with the American students.D.To be fit for the cultural differences in teaching styles.【小题3】. The meaning of the underli ned word “scrambling” is similar to .A.climbingB.rushingC.changingD.beating【小题4】. It can be learned from the passage that _____. .A.the students in Lisa Yang’s class usually speak ChineseB.there are few Amer ican students in Lisa Yang’s classC.we celebrate Confucius’ birthday because he’s the greatest teacher in the history of ChinaD.in America the students don’t respect their teachersCIn 2006, young businessman Blake Mycoskie went to Argentina on vacation. He went back to America with a business plan that would help thousands of children. While on vacation, Mycoskie saw children who couldn’t afford even one pair of shoes. Their feet suffered cuts, and he wanted to help. He noticed the shoes that Argentinean farmers wore. Inspired by those simple shoes with rope bottoms, he had an idea. Mycoskie wanted to give these children the shoes they needed. Hegave his new plan a name --- TOMS. For every pair of shoes he sold, he would give a new pair to a needy child. One for one.It was a slap(耳光) in the face to traditional business practices. How could he make a profit by giving so much away? However, he started selling shoes out of his apartment. When he had sold 10,000 pairs of shoes, he returned to Argentina with 10,000 pairs to give away.Although often taken for granted, shoes play an important role. Children without shoes easily injure their feet. They can catch a disease through soil that could make them sick or slow down their growth. Some childre n can’t attend school without shoes because they are part of the uniform.TOMS, together with other charity organizations, continues to find communities that will get benefit. Since that first “shoe drop” in Argentina, TOMS has contributed new shoes to communities in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America.Mycoskie’s special principle is all about giving. This has attracted a lot of media attention, saving money on marketing. When people hear about TOMS’ purpose, they buy the shoes and then share t he story with a slogan of “shoes for a better tomorrow”.【小题1】. When he was on vacation, Blake Mycoskie ________.A. created a new kind of shoes with rope bottomsB. wanted to donate money to people in needC. found children suffering from a lack of shoesD. gave 10,000 pairs of shoes to Argentineans【小题2】. What are the reactions of other businessmen to TOMS?A. They envied Mycoskie for being able to sell so many shoes.B. They wondered how Mycoskie could manage it.C. They asked Mycoskie to stop doing this immediately.D. They felt sorry for Mycoskie’s having to give away so much.【小题3】. All the following facts show that shoes are important EXCEPT that ________.A. they cure diseases caught from soilB. they are part of the school uniformC. they prevent children’s feet from being injuredD. children may not grow normally without them【小题4】.

对口招生考试英语精选试题（含答案）任务型阅读Good communication is vital in modern society. We know that much of the communication is unspoken. Consciously or unconsciously, we show our true feelings with our eyes, faces, bodies and attitudes. Your good qualities can make good communication. The personal qualities include: physical appearance, energy, rate of speech, pitch and tone of voice, gestures, expressiveness of eyes, and the ability to hold the interest of others. What should we do so that our communication will be effective? Here are my suggestions.Firstly, you should be yourself. The trick is to be consistently you, at your best. The most effective people never change character from one situation to another. They’re the same whether they’re having a conversation with their close friends, addressing their garden club or being interviewed for a job. They communicate with their whole being.Secondly, whether you’re talking to one person or one hundred, always remember to look at them. Don’t break eye contact while talki ng. As you enter a room, move your eyes comfortably, then look directly at those in the room and smile. This shows clearly that you are at ease. Smiling is important. The best type of smile and eye contact is gentle and comfortable, not forced.You should also absorb other people before showing yourself. You can’t learn anything when you talk. When you attend a meeting, a party or an interview, don’t immediately start throwing your opinions. Stop for a second. Absorb what’s going on. What’s the mood of the others—are they down, up, happy, expectant? Are they eager to learn from you, or do they show resistance? If you can sense what’s happening with others, you will be better able to reach them. So, listen before you talk.The fourth suggestion is that you focus your energy. How do you get your energy up? Before the meeting, collect your thoughts about the goal of the meeting—yours and the other’s. Once you go through the doorway, no longer think about yourself. Focus on the person you are meeting to find out what he is interested in. Properly collected energy comes across when we sincerely believe something. When you speak with energy, you are involved with your audience and your message. You create an air of certainty. The audience may disagree with you, but they can’t question your belief.Lastly, I would like to remind you that you should lighten up. Take a good hard look at your self. Do you say “I” too often? Are you only concentrated on your own problems? Do you complain frequently? If you answered yes to even one of these questions, you need to be more relaxed.任务型阅读(71) 【解析】effectively/well 信息归纳题。

How to Survive Embarrassing MomentsHave you ever done something embarrassing? At that moment, you probably wished you could disappear into thin air. Unfortunately, embarrassing things happen to everyone at one time or another. The good news? You can keep the damage to the minimum. Here's some help.Laugh it offYou're staring at your crush (意中人) so hard that you walk into a wall. You trip over your own feet and drop all your books. The best thing you can do? As long as you're not seriously hurt, laugh it off. Say like "Hey, I can teach you to do that if you want to!" or "It took me years to learn that!" By laughing at yourself, you show people you're confident and still in control of theApologize and move onSome embarrassing situations pack a double punch. Not only do you embarrass yourself, but you make someone else feel bad. You say to a friend that another friend is such a copycat, and then realize the copycat is standing right behind you. You imitate your teacher's unusual accentjust as the teacher walks in. Now you're embarrassed and they're mad or hurt.Making a joke now would make the situation even worse, so don't go there. Although you might feel like running away or even crying, neither of those responses will make you look better. Instead, apologize, "I'm so sorry. That was really mean of me."If you've been disrespectful to a teacher or a parent, accept whatever consequences without complaint. If you've hurt a friend, do your best to make it up to them. Once you've done all you can to make things right again, move on. If someone else brings it up, just say, "I feel bad enough about that —can we just let it go, please?"The next time you're stuck in an embarrassing moment, remind yourself that you're a strong person and you can get through this. Stay calm and act confident and the moment will pass.可知下文讲的是把伤害降低到最小的建议。

On May 23, 1989, Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad, New Mexico. She hadn't seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks. Stefania was in a research program, and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms (节奏).In this experiment Stefania had spent 130 days in a cave, 30 feet in depth. During her time in the cave, Stefania had been completely alone except for two white mice. Her living place had been very comfortable, but there had been nothing to fell her the time. She'd had no clock or watches, no television or radio. There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃. The results were very interesting. Stefania had been in the cave for over four months, but she thought she had been there for only two. Her body clock had changed. She hadn't kept to a 24-hour day. She had stayed awake for 20-25 hours and then had slept for 10 hours. She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 17lbs in weight as a result! She had also become rather depressed (抑郁). How had she spent her time in the cave? As part of the experiment she'd done some physical and mental tests. She'd recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer. This computer had been specially programmed for the project. Whenever she was free, she'd played cards, read books and listened to music. She'd also learned French from tapes. The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature, For example, the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep. However, People are affected in different ways. Some people wake up naturally at 5:00 am, but others don't start to wake up till 9:00 or 10;00 am. This affects the whole daily rhythm. As a result, the early risers are at their best in the late morning. The late risers, on the other hand, are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!( ) 1.

AWe all have our ways of marking time. As a photographer, my life is measured from one story to the next. My oldest son was born in the middle of a long story about the Endangered Species Act. My daughter came along with a pack of gray wolves.Twenty stories later, though, it’s the story in Alaska that I’ll remember best. It was the story about the loss of wilderness —and the story during which my wife Kathy got cancer. That’s the one that made time stand still. I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor (肿瘤). Cruelly, it was Thanksgiving. By Christmas, she had become very weak. Some days she was so sick she couldn’t watch TV.Early examination saves time. But ours was not early. By the time you can feel it yourself, it’s often bigger than the doctor want it to be.Cancer is a thief. It steals time. Our days are already short with worry. Then comes this terrible disease, unfair as storm at harvest time. But cancer also has the power to change us, for good. We learn to simplify, enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we don’t. Cancer even made me a better father. My work had made me a stranger to my three kids. But now I pay attention to what really matters. This is not a race. This is a new way of life and new way of seeing, all from the cancer.In the end each of us has so little time. We have less of it than we can possibly imagine. And even though it turns o ut that Kathy’s cancer has not spread, and her prognosis (诊断) is good, we try to make it all count now, enjoying every part of every day.I’ve picked up my camera again. I watch the sky, searching for beautiful light. When winter storms come, Kathy and I gather our children and take the time to catch snowflakes (雪花) on our tongues. After all, this is good. This is what we’re living for.31. As a photographer, the author used to ______.A. leave his daughter with a pack of gray wolvesB. express his love for his family in a special wayC. miss a great many important historical momentsD. devote much more to his career than his family32. Why did the author decide to stop taking pictures?A. To cure his own disease.B. To spend more time with his wife.C. To seek a better position.D. To leave the wilderness alone.33. What is the biggest change the cancer has brought to the author?A. He treasured every bit of time with his family.B. He has become a stranger to his children.C. He takes his work more seriously.D. He focuses more on medical care.34. The author and his family catch snowflakes on their tongues probably because______.A. the snowflakes taste very goodB. snowflakes are what they feed onC. they regard that as a way to enjoy lifeD. there is beautiful light in the snowflakesBYou put a great deal of effort into reaching the college of your choice. It’s time to get started. But what’s next? Beginning college can be an exciting but awkward time. Follow these tips to adjust to your new life rapidly and make the most of your college experience.●To save time and money, use the college’s bus system. Taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free in most college towns. You won’t have to locate or afford a place to park either. It’s also a good way to be environmentally aware.●Save pennies on books by waiting until class starts. You might not even need all of the recommended books. New textbooks cost an arm and a leg. Try buying used textbooks —it’s a surefire way to save money and serves the purp ose as well.●Do never look at college life as an endless series of parties and social activities. But there is a whole lot more to college if you’re serious about graduating. Having a good college experience is all about balancing work and fun.●Be aware that your living environment can largely affect your academic success. If the dorm doesn’t suit you, consider living at home with your family or renting your own apartment. The best location for your studies isn’t always your dorm. Find a quiet area, like the library, to do your work. Alternatively, buy some headphones that block out noise.●Be mindful of your diet. Make healthy food choices and watch what you eat. Avoid foods that are processed or high in sugar. The “freshman 15” is real. Many college students gain at least 15 pounds during their freshmen year.●While electives (选修课) can be helpful when figuring out your major, you shouldn’t entirely rely on them.Clubs and other organizations exist around. Get involved. Make sure, though, that you still have time to study. Having too much on your plate can hurt your grades.35. Which of the following ideas can be financially wise?.A. Driving your own car. .............B. Buying used books.C. Renting an apartment. .............D. Attending activities.36. In the text, freshmen are repeatedly warned against ______.A. academic failures......................B. physical problemsC. traffic accidents........................D. social activities37. The “freshman 15” tells the fact that some freshmen ______.A. attend limited activities on campus.B. have little regular physical exerciseC. focus less on their academic workD. take relaxed attitudes to their diets38. The underlined phrase “having too much on your plate” probably refers to _____.A. using too much money for mealsB. eating too many unhealthy foodsC. taking part in too many after-class activitiesD. taking an elective that has too many studentsCIT COULD HAPPEN TO YOUMany people think there is no need to take special care over home security.“I’m all right, I’m insured (保险)”Maybe—if you’re fully insured. Even then you can never recover the real value you place on your possessions. But you can’t insure against the upset and unhappiness that we all feel if our homes are torn apart by some stranger, our windows and doorsbroken, our precious possessions ruined.“It won’t happen to me”Won’t it? A home is broken into every minute or so of the day. The thefts of all kinds, including cars and property stolen from cars, happen twice as frequently.“I’ve nothing worth stealing”You may think not. But in fact everyone has something worth a thief’s attention. And we all have things of special value to us even if they’re worth little or nothing in cashterms.“I’m just a tenant (房客) here”The thi ef doesn’t care whether you’re a tenant or an owner-occupier. You’re just as likely to be robbed. Have a word with the owner of the house if you think extra locksand fastenings are necessary.“They’ll get in anyway”Most thieves are on the lookout for easy jobs. They are soon discouraged by houses they can’t get into in any quick and easy way. So it’s worth taking care.“This booklet will help you”It’s based on the practical experience of police forces throughout the country. Most of the suggestions will cost you only a few minutes extra time and thought. A few may involve some expense, but this is small compared with the loss and unhappiness youmight otherwise suffer.If you are in doubt, ask for free advice from the Crillle Prevention Officer atyour local police station.39. Why do you still need to protect your possessions when you’ve already insuredthem?A. You tend to undervalue your possessions.B. You cannot insure against damage to property.C. A robbery can affect your moods at home.D. It takes a long time to recover your belongings.40. What should a tenant do if he is worried about the security of his home?A. Fix new locks on all the doors..........B. Discuss the matter with the owner.C. Check it up with the police............D. Keep careful watch of the house.41. The advertisement says that most thieves ______.A. prefer stealing from officesB. like causing a lot of damageC. break into any places they desireD. get prevented by perfect guard equipment42. This advertisement aims to influence people who ______.A. have little sense of security...........B. are not properly insuredC. are worried about home security.......D. have their houses broken intoDIn the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about a half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances (气旋) hundreds —even thousands —of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm, moist (潮湿的) air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat that is switched to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to turn around in a counter-clockwise motion (反时针方向).The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released (释放) by a hurricane’s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months.Water, rather than wind, is the main source of death and destroying in a hurricane.A typical hurricane brings 6-to-12-inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea — the mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.43. An ordinary tropical storm is called a hurricane when ______.A.it occurs in the Caribbean seasB. its winds reach 75 miles per hourC. it makes its way to the coastlineD. its winds. begin to circle on the sea44. What is the worst thing about hurricane?A. The rough water. ..................B. The violent winds.C. The heat it gives out..................D. The length of its life..45. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A. The hurricane is extraordinarily powerful.B. The hurricane is used to generate electricity.C. The hurricane can otherwise offer an unusual sight.D. The hurricane can give people an unforgettable experience.46. The counter-clockwise movement of the hurricane is caused by ______.A. the low-pressure area in the center of the stormB. the force of waves of waterC. the increasing heatD. the trade windsEI am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval (准允), he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he did n’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated (受挫), but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more absorbed while standing up?This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the willpower to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality qualities, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being personal and unique (独特的). It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life.47. Time and again the author got his son seated in order to make him ______.A. work fast.........B. go politeC. stay relaxed......D. keep attentive48. The underlined “it” (in the first paragraph) probably refers to ______.A. his son’s doing better while standing upB. his failure in keeping his son under controlC. his own experience as a school boyD. his disappointment with his active child49. By this passage, the author attempts to tell other parents to ______.A. correct their kids’ manners from the early agesB. respect and trust their kids’ ways of behaviorsC. develop a good relationship with their childrenD. guarantee their children’s freedom at home50. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. Parental help with teens’ studyB. Adult influence on teen growthC. Kids’ success in their own stylesD.
