The total is nearly 550,000, about 3% lower than last year. The number comes from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The information comes after a report from the United Nations that homelessness is “spreading” worldwide. The report asked governments around the world to terminate homelessness by 2030 so that no one would have to live on the streets.The UN last did a study on the world's homeless population 11 years ago. At that time, it estimated (估计) the total at 100 million. But the UN said the number is likely much higher today. It estimates that 100 million children alone are now without a home.Recently, in the city of Mosul, Iraq, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development measured (统计) homelessness on a single night. In January, thousands of volunteers spread out across the country. They counted a total of 549,922 homeless people. That is down 14% from six years ago. Still, the government reported increased homelessness in the cities of Los Angeles, Dallas, Seattle and Washington, D．C. Officials thought higher housing prices are responsible for the increase.Leilani Farha, the top UN official on housing, said homelessness is an issue of life­and­death importance. “The death rate (死亡率) among homeless people is two to ten times higher than that among the people who are not homeless，” she said.In the Kenyan capital of Nairobi, 250,000 people do not have a place to stay. Many of them are children, and live on the streets. In India, the homeless population is estimated at 78 million. Eleven million of that number are street children. Indonesia's homeless population is 3 million, including 28,000 in the capital, Jakarta. In Nigeria, the homeless population is estimated at 24 million.【文章大意】本文是新闻报道，话题是社会生活类。

Internet while working as a researcher in America，said that the television was approaching its “iPod moment”．In the same way that people now download their favorite music onto their iPod，he said that viewers would soon be downloading most favorite programs onto their computers.“85% of all videos we watch are prerecorded，so you can set your system to download them all the time，”said Mr Cerf，who is now the vice president of Google，the world’s largest search engine.“You’re still going to need live television for certain things—like news，sporting events and emergencies—but increasingly it is going to be almost like the iPod.”Although television on demand has not yet become a mainstream activity in the UK，the BBC，ITV and Channel 4 have all spent vast sums of money on technology which enables viewers to watch their favorite shows on their computers.But some critics (批评人士)，including some Internet service providers，have warned that the Internet will collapse with millions of people downloading programs at the same time.Over the next four years，it is thought that the number of videos watched over the Internet will be four times as big as that.Broadband companies claim that the service will cause “traffic jams”，which will cost millions of pounds to get it to normal.But Mr Cerf dismissed the warnings as “scare thoughts”，saying that critics had predicted 20 years ago that the Net would collapse when people all around the world started to use it all together.“In the past 30 years it’s increased a million times...We’re far from reaching thecapacity，” he said，“It’s an understandable worry when they see huge amounts of information being moved around online.”1．What would happen to television according to Vint Cerf?A．Television would come to an end.B．Television would be replaced by the computer.C．Viewers would prefer watching TV programs downloaded on their computers.D．Most people would prefer the Internet to television.2．“iPod moment” refers to the time when________.A．people can enjoy the live broadcast of televisionB．people can download content to look at laterC．all programs are recorded with careful planD．the computer and television are closely combined3．According to the last paragraph，Mr Cerf held the idea that______.A．the Internet will collapse with many people downloading programs at the same timeB．the Net will collapse when people all around the world start to use it all togetherC．the Internet service will break down with many videos watched over the InternetD．people’s downloading TV programs on their computers won’t cause the collapse of the InternetⅣ.短文改错(2013·豫西五校高三联考)Jack had gone to a university to study the history，but at the end of his first year，his history professors failed him in his examinations.He was told why

he’ll improve a lot next year and pass the examinations by the end of it.”said Jack’s father.“No，no，that’s quite impossible，”replied the professor immediate.“Last month I asked him when Napoleon

Buck wrote over 10 books, but most people remember her for her novels (novel) about China.10．Some famous and wealthy businessmen (businessman) announced that they would give most of their money away to charities.Ⅱ.阅读理解Snow White is the story of an Evil (邪恶的) Queen who is jealous (妒忌的) of her beautiful step­daughter and asks a huntsman (猎人) to kill her. After the huntsman is unable to complete the task, Snow White runs throughout the forest and finds asmall house of seven dwarfs (小矮人). Hearing that the huntsman didn't kill the Snow White from her magic mirror, the Evil Queen takes matters into her own hands and decides to find and kill Snow White herself. Pretending to be an old beggar, the Evil Queen gives Snow White a dangerous apple. Snow White falls into a deep sleep after eating the apple and is later woken up by a handsome Prince. They live happily ever after.In the original Brothers Grimm tale, the above isn't the end of the story as the Evil Queen unknowingly is invited to the wedding of Snow White and Prince. Once she arrives at Snow White's big day, hot iron shoes are placed in front of her and she is forced to step into the burning shoes and dance until she drops dead. This ending is much darker than that seen in the 1937 Disney film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The Disney film adds a child­like wonder to the tale with the dwarfs each being named and therefore they all have their own personalities: Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy and Dopey. Also in_variation to the original tale, the Prince and Snow White have met before her eating the apple and Snow White wakes up immediately after the Prince kissed her. They live happily ever after.The 2012 film Snow White and the Huntsman added something new to the tale. The Huntsman is told to return Snow White to the Evil Queen. If he does that, the Evil Queen Will bring his wife back from the dead. Upon realizing that this was an empty promise, the Huntsman decides to teach Snow White how to fight against the Evil Queen.The moral (寓意) of the story hasn't changed over time: good will win in the end over evil.【文章大意】《白雪公主》这个故事家喻户晓，但是这个故事不是只有一个版本。

As they admired Swedish art works in a storefront window, one of their mobile phones chirped (唧唧叫) with an anonymous (匿名的) note: "Try the blue sweaters. They keep you warm in the winter. "The tourist had just been "bluejacked" —secretly sent a text message using short-range wireless technology called Bluetooth.The more people get Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones—both sender and receiver need them for this to work—the more there is likely to be mischievous (恶作剧的) messaging.Websites are already offering tips on bluejacking, and collections of astonished reactions quickly turn up on the Internet. One site, www. bluejackq. com, was set up by a British teenager."I bluejacked three or four people,"says 13-year-old Ellie in UK, who runs the site and makes bluejacking a daily affair. Bluetooth has a range of about nine metres. Ellie used it to send a note to a man in a cafe asking how his coffee was and saying that she liked his wife's glasses.Ellie says he looked here and there to try to figure out where the message came from, evensending text messages back and forth with his wife, but to no avail.Bluetooth is fast becoming more common on new mobile phones, though Forrester Research says at present only 9 percent of phones in Europe have such a function.The technology is handy for people wanting to use wireless headsets with their phones or for sending data by phone to Bluetooth-enabled printers.When Bluetooth is activated (激活) ,it seeks out other equipped mobile phones by itself and sets up a link. Bluetooth phones can be set to block anonymous messaging, but people who carry them don't necessarily know that.41. What is mainly discussed in the text?____________A.

These general impressions of Asian superiority (优势) in mathematics and science were proved by studies that were made in the late 1960s and early 1970s.In these studies, the average score of American kindergarteners was below those from Japan. In first grade the difference increased, and by fifth grade it was very large. Moreover, 60 fifth grade classes in Japan, Taiwan, and the United States were compared in mathematics. The average score of the highest scoring American classroom was below that of all the Japanese classrooms and all but one of the Chinese classrooms.Why is this so? Are the Asian students born smarter? A series of studies in 1986 and 1987raised these questions, and their findings seem to point the American and Asian school systems have certain features in common. But the differences are striking. Test scores on nationwide examinations determine entry into high school and college in both Japan and Taiwan, but not in the United States. Career paths too are more closely linked to educational achievements in Japan and Taiwan. As a result, far more pressure is given to even very young children to study hard and succeed in school in both Japan and Taiwan than those in the United States.These are also striking differences in classroom instruction. By fifth grade, for example, the U. S. children were observed to spend an average of only 19. 6 hours per week in academic activities in comparison with the Taiwanese and Japanese children of 40. 4 and 32. 6 hours per week, respectively. What is more, the U. S. children spent less of their academic time on mathematics. By fifth grade, the U. S. classrooms averaged 3. 4 hours per week on maths compared to 11. 4 hours in Taiwan and 7. 6 hours in Japan.46. The primary purpose of this passage is to______________A. show Asian superiority in maths and science to the American studentsB. compare the American educational practices with those of AsiansC. warn the American government of the educational problemsD. criticize the American educational system47. Asian students in the U. S. do better in maths and science than their American peers because_____.A. Americans are less interested in maths and science than AsiansB.

Academic achievements are more closely related to job-hunting in Asian countries.C. Children start kindergarten earlier in Asian countries than in the United States.D. Asian students pay more attention to classroom activities than Americans.49.

Japanese kindergarteners were the best among those from America, Japan and TaiwanC. the average score of the Chinese classrooms was similar to that of American onesD. differences of the school systems explained Asian superiority in maths reasonably50.

Is it the story, the characters, the description, or the style? Obviously, you can't choose only one. A great work succeeds in combining all of them in a great mix (结合), producing a wonderful work.In most cases, you're better at one writing element over the rest, and working on your strengths will work to your advantage. Building characters, however, is important to your writing. It's not to be ignored no matter what your case is. So, how do you achieve that?Make Them RealThis is probably one of the most common pieces of writing advice: make your characters believable. What does it really mean? It means that your characters need to be there for a reason, not just for pushing the story forward. He/ She has a real life, with his/her own fears and dreams, and you have to show this. Your characters don't need to be typical (典型的) to be believable. The unusual ones are even more interesting, but it's your job to make your readers relate to them.Understand Human Psychology (心理特征)To build great characters, you'll need to understand people's psychology: what are they thinking about, what are they feeling and experiencing, and why are they doing what they are doing? Get behind the obvious. Be in the backstage with them. Sit them in a chair and let them talk away. If you truly listen, you will learn.Be Your CharacterWhen you immerse (使沉浸) yourself in your writing, you get lost in that world and you start living in it. This is when the magic happens and you become your character. By putting yourself in your character's shoes, you allow yourself to experience what you're writing about first­hand. The more it feels real to you, the more the readers will feel the same, too.【文章大意】写作中人物的塑造很重要，本文告诉我们如何塑造好人物。
