It aims to make the mother of all floods, the Yangtze River, into a tame river, and to generate power of 181,200 megawatts for Eastern and Central China. It will form a huge, deep water lake, and make it possible for 10,000 ton ocean-going ships to sail 1,500 miles inland from the Pacific to the city of Cbongqing, making it one of the world's largest inland ports.Construction has already started, The dam will be about 6,860 meters wide and 611 meters high, at a spot called Sandouping near Yichang.It is obvious that such a grand project will do much good. It is the most improtant to control floods. By building hydropower plants ,China will offer much in environmental projection(计划).However, some scientists don't agree to the project. They say Chongquing and dozens of other cities along the rive will pollute the reservoir,which will destroy the ecological balance and also the sand from upstream will form sand-bed.The Three Gorges Dam could be considered when it finished, in 2009 ,the 8th wonder of the world.1.

However, when we got off the bus, I was greatly surprised: Roads and streets looked broader, men in uniform were busy keeping traffic order, and groups of street vendors disappeared. When I asked about the change I was told that the national health and sanitation(卫生) inspection team was inspecting(检查) the city.While the changes seemed for the better, many City A citizens complained. They said their old markets were convenient and cheap, but now they were forced to travel further to buy their daily necessities.After three hours of sightseeing we decided to eat. To my surprise, none of the restaurants I remembered were still there-- they had all been pulled down.On the way back to the hotel we noticed queues waiting outside a toilet. Obviously many of the local toilets had been closed because of the arrival of the sanitation inspectors.Our five days in City A passed quickly. By the time we were due to leave, everything had returned to normal: Street vendors race again crowded the streets, and the noise of night markets ,seemed even louder. One citizen said," I have always bought whatneed from here, and I won' t stop now. "Cleanliness and health is important to a society. But. There should not be such an upheaval when an inspection team is going to come.One way to prevent such things is to take measures to keep the city clean every day. Sanitation should be always done.5.

"I'll get off by myself and think," she told herself as she walked slowly along.

Her own affairs were approaching a crisis(危机) ,and it was time for her to begin thinking seriously of her future.The thoughtful serious state of mind in which Mary found herself had been induced in her by a conversation she had with her father on the evening before.

There are two types of Olympics, the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics Through 1992 the were held in the same year, but beginning in 1994 they were rescheduled so that they are held in alternate even-numbered years. For example, the Winter Olympics were held in 1994 an the Summer Olympics 1996. The Winter Olympics were next held in 1998, and the Summer Olympics will next occur in 2000.The Olympic Games began in Athens, Greece, in 1896. The program for the 1896 Games,comprising only summer events (the Winter Olympics were not established until 1924), included about 300 athletes from fewer than 15 countries competing in 43 events in nine different sports. In contrast, the program 100 years later for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, included more than 10,000 athletes from more than 190 countries competing in 271 events in 29 different sports.The Olympic Games are administered by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland. The IOC was created in Paris in 1894. IOC members are officially considered to be representatives from the IOC to their own nations, not delegates from their own countries to the IOC. The first IOC members were all from Europe or the Americas, with the exception of one from New Zealand. The committee elected its first Asian member in 1908 and its first African member in 1910.

高中英语学习材料（灿若寒星*制作整理）Book 5 Unit 2 The United Kingdom单元测试第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A★★☆☆☆What does family mean to you? Could you capture it in a photograph? If so, our great new competition is for you! All you have to do is take a picture that sums up your sense of family life.The competition will be judged by the RD (Reader’s Digest) team andaward-winning photo-grapher Barry Marsden. To get your creative juices flowing, here are two of our regular photographers’ tips for taking great pictures.Pal HansenThe most important thing is to carry a camera around with you at all times. Use manual (手动的) settings as much as possible. Now that everything is digital I’d also say, “Shoot as much as possible,” because it doesn’t cost a nything.Michelle McCarronKids find wonder in the simplest things, so as a photographer it helps to be ready for those moments. The connection across generations is sometimes best captured in a photograph. Frame your subject well. Get close to the action, or your subject, and choose your angle (角度) carefully. A slightly odd angle can make a photo different.HOW TO ENTER★ Take a clear photo with either a phone or digital camera. Send it to rdphotocomp@readersdigest. by 5 pm, August 30, 2014. Please include a brief explanation of who’s in the entry (参赛作品).★There are two categories — one for adults and one for under-18s.★In the adult category, the winner will receive £500. The under-18 winner will receive £250 of high-street vouchers (代金券) for a store of their choice.Rules:Please make sure that pictures are not published before.If you are under 16 you must ask your parent’s permission to enter this competition.We will use entries in all print and electronic media. We cannot return your entry.Entry is not open to employees of Vivat Direct Ltd (trading as Reader’s Digest) and all other persons associated with this competition, their immediate families, and relatives living in an employee’s household. The judges’ d ecision is final.21. What do we know about the photo competition?A. It is designed for readers of RD.B. Entries must be about family.C. Photos must be taken by a camera.D. Pal Hansen is one of its judges.22. To take part in the competition, one should _____.A. be 18 years old or aboveB. send in his entry in AugustC. ask his family’s permissionD. give a description of his entry23. According to the text, winners of the competition will _____.A. each win￡500B. get their entries backC. see their pictures publishedD. be offered some vouchersB★★☆☆☆He runs from explosions, drives over waterfalls and jumps from tall buildings. That might sound like Superman, but stuntman (特技演员) Vince Deadrick Jr. is very much human.As a stuntman in movies and television shows, Deadrick admits he’s no stranger to getting hurt. He has suffered broken bones, bled, gotten knocked out and nearly fallen to his death, but he considers himself lucky to be alive after some of the stunts he has performed.Deadrick has been a stunt coordinator (协调员) for the Nickelodeon channel for 12 years. He has worked with famous actors, directors and producers, and he has traveled all over the world. But that doesn’t mean his work is easy.It took him years of hard work to g et where he is today. Deadrick’s father, Vince Deadrick Sr., was also a stuntman, but his family connection didn’t give Deadrick a free pass into the movie business. He learned from his dad how to set up cardboard boxes and fall pads for high falls, and he started training on his own once he decided to follow in his father’s footsteps.As a stunt coordinator, Deadrick takes danger seriously. When he hires a new stunt performer, he looks for a professional.“You’re only as good as the people you hire,” he sa ys. A stuntman needs to know his own abilities and limitations so he won’t shy away from doing his best but also won’t be such a daredevil (铤而走险的人) that he could hurt himself or others.When the actors and stuntmen are going to do something dangerous, they need to know they’re trusting the right person. With over 40 years in the business, Deadrick is an expert at making stunts both realistic and safe.Though he has a large amount of responsibility, Deadrick loves his job.“I’m in a position where I have to make decisions on risk factors, keeping the actors and stuntmen safe while still making it look impressive. I love my business, and I love the excitement.”24. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that Deadrick is _____.A. carelessB. optimisticC. unfortunateD. generous25. What do we know about Deadrick’s path to success?A. He picked up his stunt skills from a stuntman.B. He made it with hard work and great effort.C. His dad offered him great encouragement.D. His dad led him into the movie business.26. When hiring stuntmen, Deadrick _____.A. can’t be too carefulB. prefers the fearless onesC. likes those with no limitationsD. puts experience above all else27. What does Deadrick think of his job?A. Hard and boring.B. Easy and attractive.C. Skilled but relaxing.D. Challenging but exciting.C★★★☆☆Many of the inventions that form part of our everyday lives had their roots right here in the UK. Let’s take a look at some of the most important inventions.The bagless vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) James Dyson, 1979There are some things we don’t know we need until someone invents them. Step forward, the bagless vacuum cleaner. James Dyson came up with the idea after spending a lot of money on an expensive cleaner that simply pushed dirt around.Most of us would have left it that, but Dyson went on to change the basic principle of a vacuum cleaner —an idea that hadn’t been challenged for 100 years —by designing a system that removed the necessity of the bag for good. His final version took five years of research.However, when Dyson first approached manufacturers (制造商) with his idea, he couldn’t interest them. But he didn’t give up and set up a factory in Wiltshire in 1993 to produce them himself. Two years later, Dyson products were outselling the competition.The Mini Alec Issigonis, 1959While the Americans were driving supersize Cadillacs, Britain famously went in the opposite direction and came up with a small car.Alec Issigonis was responsible for the design and made a name for himself in motoring history with its launch (投放市场) in 1959 for the British Motor Corporation (BMC). The Mini’s success wasn’t overnight. Many thought it “strange”, but it developed into a love affair with the British that’s never decreased, helped by the fact that many stars loved it.The London sewage system (污水处理系统) Joseph Bazalgette, 1865Like any major city, London has always produced large amounts of waste. Give thanks, then, to Joseph Bazalgette, an engineer who developed a far-reaching underground sewage system. It changed the process of getting rid of waste by dumping it into the Thames River. Even more impressive was his idea to construct pipes that would function for nearly 150 years and still be large enough to meet the need of an increasing population. As he said, “We’re only going to do this once.”28. What do we know about James Dyson and his idea?A. His efforts paid off at last.B. He enjoyed immediate success.C. His idea attracted many manufacturers.D. He set up the first vacuum cleaner factory.29. The Mini won its popularity _____.A. soon after its launch in 1959B. because it was advertised by starsC. with the help of some famous peopleD. because people lost interest in supersize cars30. The underlined sentence “We’re only going to do this once” in the last paragraph shows Bazalgette was _____.A. cautiousB. confidentC. far-sightedD. strong-minded31. What did the three British inventors have in common?A. Their success came after many failures.B. They influenced many other inventors.C. They made their inventions by accident.D. Their inventions changed people’s lives.D★★★☆☆As each semester begins, my colleague greets his students wearing a jacket and tie.“You make only one first impression,” he says. So while the rest of the semester he teaches class in his usual, more casual clothes, the first week he presents a different image.His thought is that students will remember their first meet positively and more readily think highly of him as the semester goes on because that favorable first impression has an influence on them.The sequence (顺序) that we meet matters in how we judge subsequent (后来的) information. The big influence of first impressions is related to the halo effect, where the perception (看法) of positive qualities in one thing or part gives rise to the perception of similar qualities in related things or in the whole.Here is an example: You meet a friendly person at a party and later are asked to collect money for a worthy cause. You call that person because you think she will make a contribution. In reality, there is no connection between being pleasant and being generous. Yet the halo effect leads you to think that the two are related.The halo effect is powerful, but it is questionable whether it matters much in long-term relationships, such as that between teacher and student. While dressing up may make students think the teacher must know his subject matter because he creates a professional first impression, the effect wears thin if the person turns out to be a poor teacher after all.First impressions matter but they don’t have the final word. Facts speak louder. If you had never seen or heard of Einstein, the first time you saw him your impression would most likely be negative. Now his face is connected with genius (天才), not madness because he is the person who has come to define what genius is.The problem is tha t few of us are Einsteins and we often don’t get the chance to change a negative first impression.32.

The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer (征服) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage (短缺) of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.The Irish are famous for being warm­hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer,once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived (复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.5．What does the author tell us in Paragraph 1?A．How the Irish fought against the English.B．How Ireland gained independence.C．How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.D．How two “Irelands” came into being.6．We learn from the text that in Ireland________.A．food shortages in the 1840s led to a decline in populationB．people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countrysideC．it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory workerD．different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments7．What can be the best title for the text?A．Life in IrelandB．A Very Difficult HistoryC．Ireland, Past and PresentD．The Independence of IrelandCOn March 30, 1867, the United States signed a treaty (条约) to buy what would later become its largest state. U．S. Secretary of State William Seward agreed to pay D|S7.2 million to Russia for Alaska.Russia had established permanent settlements in Alaska beginning in the late 1700s. (At the time, the area was already home to tens of thousands of native Alaskans.) But after losing an expensive war with England and France in the 1850s, Russia badly needed money. Its leadersturned to the U．S. to sell the territory (领土), and Seward was eager to buy. He thought that having a huge territory along the northern Pacific Ocean would make it easier for the U．S. to trade with countries in Asia. Though much of Alaska was unexplored, Seward believed it had abundant resources that could lead to a boom in the fur trade, fishing, and other industries.The Alaska Purchase was approved quickly by the U．S. Senate (参议院) and signed by President Andrew Johnson.Despite the bargain price of roughly two cents an acre, the Alaska Purchase was ridiculed in Congress (国会) and in the press as “Seward’s folly”. Critics believed the land was worthless — nothing more than snow and ice.But any question about Alaska’s value was forgotten after several major discoveries of gold during the 1880s and 1890s. As word spread, an estimated 100,000 people flocked there, hoping to strike it rich. It made critics change their tune. Unfortunately, Seward never got to see his decision acknowledged for the great accomplishment it was, as he passed away in 1872, before the gold reserves had been found. Today, “Seward’s Day” is celebrated in Alaska on the last Monday of March each year, in honor of Seward’s purchasing the Alaskan territory from Russia.Nowadays, Alaska is still recognized for its wealth of natural resources. Two of its biggest industries are oil and fishing. Alaska has also turned into a tourist destination for people who love the outdoors. Each year, nearly 2 million people visit Alaska to see its scenic national parks and abundant wildlife.8．Why did Russia sell Alaska?A．The U．S. made a very high bid.B．Because of its preparations for war.C．Because of the history of native Alaskans.D．Russia was suffering from financial problems.9．Which can best replace the underlined word “folly” in Paragraph 4?A．Illegal trade.B．Smart idea.C．Stupid act. D．Fair deal.10．It was proved that Seward ________.A．was hotheaded B．was far­sightedC．made a huge mistake D．made a great sacrifice11．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．Alaska’s culture.B．Alaska’s economy.C．Alaska’s land ownership.D．Alaska’s climate and wildlife.DAlthough fires are still a danger in every major city today, they were a much more serious problem in earlier centuries. The historic Fire of London was a serious example of the damage fire can cause. Finally, however, this disaster also positively affected the city.In 1666, the Great Fire of London burned out of control for three days, destroying most of the central district of the city. The disaster caused a huge amount of damage — around seventy thousand people lost their homes. At the time, there were only about eighty thousand living in the city. There are no accurate records of how many people died in the fire because the worst damage happened in poor neighborhoods. Unfortunately, the government didn’t record the deaths of poor people in those early times.When the fire happened, people in London were already struggling to survive a large plague (瘟疫) outbreak that had begun in 1665. London’s housing troubles were a major cause of the problem. At the time, much of central London consisted of closely packed and poorly made wooden buildings. This created an unhealthy environment because germs travelled freely from home to home. In addition, the buildings were on narrow, dirty streets where people threw their garbage. Rats were attracted by the garbage, and they brought fleas (跳蚤) — the carriers of the plague. Once people caught the plague from flea bites, the disease spread rapidly throughout the city especially in the cramped central district. It was in these terrible conditions that the Great Fire raged through London.Despite the damage, the fire had a positive effect because it destroyed the old, poorly made wooden buildings. It also killed most of the rats and fleas, which slowed the spread of the plague. After the fire, the government rebuilt the damaged areas. Whenever possible, they used brick or stone. Thus, the new houses were much more solid and more difficult for rats to enter. Widened streets and improved garbage collection also helped to stop the disease from spreading from person to person because there was simply more room to walk.12．Which of the following is TRUE about fires in the past?A．They mainly happened in large cities.B．They always had some positive effects.C．They caused small amounts of damage.D．They were more dangerous than fires today.13．Why are there no accurate death records of the fire?A．The numbers were beyond counting.B．The government intended to hide the facts.C．The records were destroyed in another fire.D．The deaths of poor people were unrecorded.14．What does the underlined word “cramped” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Ancient. B．Crowded.C．Damaged. D．Popular.15．Why did the government rebuild the city with brick and stone after the fire?A．To reduce building costs.B．To make houses stronger.C．To keep fleas out of the city.D．To stop the plague spreading.第二节：.阅读七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）Breaking bad reading habitsAre you eager to become a faster reader? Reading faster isn’t about finishing books without comprehension or enjoyment. __16__ To do so, you need to change some bad reading habits.Avoid sounding out the words in your head. Many people sound out the words as they read — either by moving their lips or hearing the words in their head. __17__ This is because it onlyallows you to read the words as fast as you can say them, which isn’t very fast at all.__18__ Another common practice which slows down reading speed hugely is the practice of reading each individual word separately. Instead, you should try to read in chunks (语块)．Overcome inefficient eye movement. When children learn how to read, they are taught to look at each word individually before moving onto the next. __19__ Therefore, this practice makes reading a lot less efficient.Avoid distractions.Many people are slow readers simply because they often read in an inappropriate environment. If you want to read quickly and absorb the material in front of you, you need to avoid all kinds of distractions. Don’t try to read in a loud environment. __20__ Read in a quiet, peaceful environment where reading is your only focus.A．Avoid reading word by word.B．Don’t read the same sentence two or three times.C．It won’t improve your understanding of the material.D．Otherwise, you’ll find yourself getting distracted and rereading paragraphs. E．However, your eyes are able to take in much more than a single word at a time.F．It’s about learning to pick up the speed and still take in the information in an enjoyable way.G．Although it is an effective way of teaching kids how to read, it is not beneficial to reading faster.第二部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）I will never forget one summer in my childhood．While walking in the attic (阁楼), I stepped on something and __21__down, with my hand landing on a floorboard that popped up and almost hit my head．When I __22__ and looked inside the open space, I could not believe my eyes: There was gold in there!

None of themare exactly the same as any of the others.The British isles refer to the main islands and several thousand small ones as well, which you can see on the map②.

The United Kingdom is the name of the state and the official name of the country, which many people popularly refer to England.Finally, the Britain commonwealth is the usual name for what is left of the British Empire (帝国).

They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland. But there were too many of the Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night, the leader of the Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. We will rest here tonight, my men, he said, Tomorrow we will fight one more battle①. We must win, or we will die.They were all very tired. So they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they were very tired, too, and one by one, they fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they went up the hill. Closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle (蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a minute they were on their feet and ready for a battle. The fighting was hard, but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved Scotland②.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharpneedles all over it. Few people liked it.

Nowadays, it is quite possible to eat both well and heartily all over the island.Tourism has made a vast difference to the standards of cooking in Ireland. Until recently there was hardly any tradition of eating out in many districts, except perhaps on very few occasions at a local hotel. Patterns of diet were old-styled, based firmly on‘meat and two vegetables’ (somewhat overcooked),potatoes (of course) and large quantities of dairy produce. Now things are very different. Tourist demands for predictable, inexpensive fast-food are met, as everywhere, with hamburgers and pizzas - a better bet being fish and chips. But more sophisticated tastes have introduced wholefoods and vegetarian restaurants (almost unheard of before), and a vast number of new restaurants, often French in style, have opened in the main tourist centres. Food ‘events’ such as Kinsale’s Gourmet festival or Galway’s Oys ter Festival attract large numbers of visitors and reflect the new interest in food.Whatever Irish cooking lacks in finesse(精细), it nearly always makes up for in plenty, and ingredients(成分) are of a high quality. Home-grown produce includes rich dairy foods, beef, lamb and pork, and a great variety of seafood. One of its great specialities is soda bread. It is made with buttermilk and is served fresh and warm with every meal. Recently there has been a return to simple Irish foods such as stews(炖菜)and potato dishes.One of the best-value meals in Ireland isbreakfast. A ‘traditional Irish breakfast’ is a plateful of bacon and eggs with soda and potato breads. Accommodation rates are nearly always quoted with a full breakfast included, so you might as well eat enough to keep you going all day and get your money’s worth!11.What was Irish food like until quite recently?A. It was very conservative and uninteresting.B. It was influenced by French cooking.C. It was very unhealthy.D. It was plentiful12. How has Irish food improved in recent years?A. There are more French restaurants.B. Food produce is fresher.C. There is more kinds.D. Food is more expensive13.What is the main reason for this improvement?A. People have more money to spend.B.

Nowadays French-style restaurants are quite common in tourist centres.D. Many Irish people are vegetarians and grow their own vegetables.Passage DA Tour City ------- PompeiiEvery year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii (庞贝，意大利那不勒斯附近一座古城) , Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for ------ its stadium (运动场) and theatre, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii’s people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius (维苏威火山) , a grass-covered volcano (火山). Mount Vesuvius had not erupted (爆发) for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried (埋藏) under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all ot its people were dead.For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover (发现) Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20, 000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. Theyliked bread, too; metal bread pans were in even bakery (面包房). In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread ------- a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup (眼部化装品) .Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.16.Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?A. To visit the volcano.B. To shop and eat there.C. To watch sports and plays.D. To see how Pompeiians lived17.Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?A.The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.B The area produced the finest wine in Italy.C Few people expected the volcano erupt again.D The mountain was beautiful and covered withgrass18.Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?A.Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.B Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.C Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.D Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.19.What’s the meaning of the underlined word exploded in the third paragraph?A.爆炸B.震动C.倒塌D.开裂20.What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 years ago?A They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.B They liked women wearing all kings of makeup.C They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.D They went back to Pompeii after the eruptionin AD 79.二卷单词拼写：1) Don’t let me i__________ your decision.

Despite(尽管) the distance the islands actually make up the fiftieth state of the United States. The islands were all formed by volcanic eruption and on the largest of the islands, Hawaii, or the Big Island, there are still two active volcanoes, the Mauna Loa and the Kilauea, which still erupt every few years.On the Hawaiian islands the natives have a particularly strange way of indicating directions. They don’t use the north, south, east and west system common to the rest of the world. They use the mauka and makai system. Mauka means “mountain”. The mountains in Hawaii are always at the center of the islands, as these are volcanic islands. Makai means “the sea”. The islands are small and the system is simple. Wherever you want to visit, it can always be described in terms of where it lies in relation to the mountains and the sea. A typical conversation between a native Hawaiian and a tourist might go as follow.TOURIST: Excuse me! Could you tell me where the Sheraton Hotel is?HAWAIIAN: Well… Let me see! From here it’s two blocks mauka, and then one block makai. You can’t miss it!1. This passage would be most likely to appear in which of the following?A. A novel.B. A collection of stories.C. A women’s magazine.D. A reference book.2. Choose the most suitable title for the article.A.T he Big Island.B. V olcanoes.C. Giving Directions in HawaiiD. The Hawaiian Islands.3. Which of the following items does the passage NOT discuss?A. Hawaii’s location.B. How to give directions in Hawaii.C. V olcanoes.D. The climate.4. In Hawaii the mountains are in the center of the islands because .A.of the weatherB.the islands were created by volcanic eruptionsC.of the geological conditionsD.of the islands’ location in the Pacific5. To find your way in Hawaii, you must .A.refer to geographical directionsB.refer to well-known establishmentsC.refer to the earth and the seaD.refer to the location of the mountains and the seaBStatus of Judicial System in the USAIn recent years, there has been an increasing awareness of the inadequacies of the judicial system in the United States. Costs are staggering both for the taxpayers and the parties-and the parties have to wait sometimes many years before having their day in court. Many suggestions have been made concerning methods of improving the situation, but as in most branches of government, changes come slowly.One suggestion that has been made in order to maximize the efficiency of the system is to allow districts that have an overabundance of pending cases to borrow judges from other districts that do not have such a backlog. Another suggestion is to use pretrial conferences, in which the judge meets in his chambers with the parties and their attorneys in order to narrow the issues, limit the witnesses, and provide for a more orderly trial. The theory behind pretrial conferences is that judges will spend less time on each case and parties will more readily settle before trial when theyrealize the adequacy of their claims and their opponents’ evidence. Unfortunately, at least one study has shown that pretrial conferences actually use more judicial time than they save, rarely result in pretrial settlements, and actually result in higher damage settlements.Many states have now established another method, small-claims courts, in which cases over small sums of money can be disposed of with considerable dispatch. Such proceedings cost the parties almost nothing, In California, for example, the parties must appear before the judge without the assistance of counsel. The proceedings are quite informal and there is no pleading-the parties need to make only a one-sentence statement of their claim. By going to this type of court, the plaintiff waives any right to a jury trial and the right to appeal the decision.In coming years, we can expect to see more and more innovations in the continuing effort to remedy a situation which must be remedied if the citizens who have valid claims are going to be have their day in court.6. The pretrial conference, in theory, is supposed to do all of the following except_____.A.narrow the issuesB.cause early settlementC.save judicial timeD.increase settlement cost7. What is the main topic of the passage?A.All states should follow California’ s example in using small-claims courtsin order to free judges for other work.B.The legislature needs to formulate fewer laws so that the judiciary cancatch up on its older cases.C.Nobody seems to care enough to attempt to find method for making thejudicial system more efficient.D.While there are many problems with the court system, there are viablesuggestions, for improvement.8. The word “parties” means mostly _______.A.jury membersmentatorsC.parties in a lawsuitD.taxpayers9. Which of the following is true about small-claim courts?A.It is possible to have one’s case heard by a jury if he or she is dissatisfiedwith the court’s decision.B.The parties must plead accurately and according to a strict form.C.The decision may not be appealed to a higher court.D.The parties may not present their cases without an attorney’ s help.10. What can we assume from the passage?A.Most people who feel they have been wronged have a ready remedy in courtsof law.B.Many people would like to bring a case to court, but are unable to because ofthe cost and the time required.C.The judicial system in the US is highly acclaimed for its efficiency.D.Pretrial conferences will someday probably have replaced trials completely.CIn today's Ireland, it seems hard to imagine the grim days of the 19th century when so many of the population starved, or that, in those days, many poor people had no clue how to prepare any food other than boil a potato.
