The Florida sun baked my shoulders as I walked along the I-595 freeway near Fort Lauderdale, picking up rubbish. I paused to 1 the sweat off my forehead and look up at the cloudless blue sky. " 2 can't it rain?" I thought. That would 3 things down.I thought about my 4 , who were probably sitting in an air-conditioned 5 right now. I'd had some problems in school, 6 my parents decided to let me 7 full-time with my dad. We both worked for my uncle, who had taken 8 of a maintenance(道路养护)company. It was up to us to keep the roads 9 of rubbish. The job was 10 and dirty, especially on hot days 11 this. I wondered why I ever agreed to do it. We continued our 12 route along the I-595, 13 for the overpass bridge. Then I noticed an area where some 14 were broken on the ground. It wasn't like that before."Dad! Pull over! I want to 15 something out."I jumped off the truck and rushed to the bridge. Something was telling me to16 ...there wasn't much time. 17 I saw a Toyota that 18 upside down in the tree. Maybe it was a stolen car that somebody 19 there, I thought. Then, just at that 20 , I noticed something moving. It was a bloody leg poking out of the driver's side window!"Help!" a lady moaned.1.A.wipe B.cut C.put D.send2.A.When B.How C.Why D.Where3.A.turn B.keep C.make D.cool4.A.parents B.school-times C.friends D.school yards5.A.office B.classroom C.restaurant D.living room6.A.but B.or C.for D.so7.A.work B.study C.stay D.spend8.A.business B.possession C.position D.place9.A.away B.from C.far D.clear10.A.easy B.lonely C.smelly D.noisy11.A.for B.like C.after D.as12.A.regular B.common C.unusual D.normal13.A.reaching B.going C.looking D.heading14.A.cars B.bottles C.branches D.glasses15.A.check B.help C.take D.bring16.A.decide B.hurry C.consider D.stop17.A.Above B.Behind C.Ahead D.Below18.A.hung B.trapped C.caught D.tell19.A.stored B.deserted C.lost D.hid20.A.bridge B.tree C.moment D.way阅读理解(12*5)ADo you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span."I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生)," said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. "I think by 2075 we will see it and that s a conservative estimate(保守的估计)".At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New .Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology(纳米技术)make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. "There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years," he said. "Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years."However, many scientists who specialize in ageing are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. "It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?" said Leonard Pooh, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Center. "At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all." 21.By saying "we are knocking at the door of immortality", Michael Zey means ________. A.they believe that there is no limit of livingB.they are sure to find the truth about long livingC.they have got some ideas about living foreverD.they are able to make people live past the present life span22.Donald Louria's attitude towards long living is that ________.A.people can live from 120 to 180 yearsB.it is still doubtful how long humans can liveC.the human body is designed to last about 120 yearsD.it is possible for humans to live longer in the future23.The underlined "it"(paragraph 4)refers to ________.A.a great pushB.the idea of living beyond the present life spanC.the idea of living from 200 to 300 yearsD.the conservative estimate24.What would be the best title for this text?A.Living Longer or Not B.Science, Technology and Long LivingC.No Limit for Human Life D.Healthy Lifestyle and Long LivingBIn recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of howto make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more various jobs lead to greater productivity? There are facts to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker's life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then variety is not an important factor.Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important, and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery that must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may he important. there is usually very little that can be done to create it.Another very important consideration is how each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of the workers contribution an important factor, therefore. but it is also one we can do something about.To what degree does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. Maybe they want more money only because the work they do is boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.25.Which of the following is the best way to make workers work harder according to the author?A.Increasing their pay.B.Giving them more spare time.C.Making the work itself meaningful.D.Replacing large production lines with small ones.26.The reason why a worker cannot have freedom in doing the job in his own way is that ________.A.the machine is so badly needed that more of it should be boughtB.there are production lines in factoriesC.the bosses can create very little freedom of choicesD.the machines must be operated strictly according to instructions and rules 27.Besides money, what may make workers work more actively?A.Extra free hours. B.More comfort of life.C.Interesting jobs. D.Better working conditions.28.The best title for this passage may be ________.A.Problems of Modern Workers B.Making Jobs More InterestingC.Pushing Workers to Produce More D.How to Improve Labor ProductivityCPeople think being an artist must be a wonderful way to earn one’s living. Of course, there are lots of great things about working for oneself, at home alone. What I really like is that nobody tells me what time to start in the morning, what to wear, or whetherI can take the afternoon off and go to a football match.But then, I have no one to chat with when I’m bored, and no one to talk with about last night’s match over lunch. Surely, I can spend the afternoon doing something I enjoy like swimming, walking the dog, or even sleeping, if I choose. But the work will still be there when I do finally get back home, and it’s still got to be finished in time. Unfortunately, working at home means that people can always find me, whether I’m bored or not and once I’ve answered the doorbell, it’s too late —my thoughts have been interrupted. No one would dream of calling if I worked in an office, but in an office I find myself making cups o f coffee and listening to friends’ troubles. As they talk, my ideas disappear and I feel increasingly stressed thinking of my work waiting to be done.29. What is the writer trying to do in the passage?A. To encourage readers to work at home.B. To explain why he has changed his job.C. To describe his working life.D. To say how he would like to work.30. What can the reader learn from the passage?A. How to start working for oneself.B. The writer has many troubles in his working life.C. Why the writer decided to work for himself.D. How artists become successful.31. What does the writer like about his life?A. He has plenty of opportunities for sports.B. He is his own boss.C. He can see people when he wants to.D. He has a comfortable place to work.32. Which of these notices would be most useful for the writer to put on his door?A. I’m working—please don’t disturbB. Please call at my office for an appointmentC. Please knock before enteringD. NO VISITORS ALLOWED DURING OFFICE HOUR。

(2023年新高考I卷)When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌)? Which kinds of fish caneat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge.He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse — like facility thattreated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of re parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”24.What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs?A.He was fond of traveling.B.He enjoyed being alone.C.He had an inquiring mind.D.He longed to be a doctor.25.Why did John put the sludge into the tanks?A.To feed the animals.B.To build an ecosystem.C.To protect the plants.D.To test the eco-machine.26.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou?A.To review John’s research plans.B.To show an application of John’s idea.C.To compare John’s different jobs.D.To erase doubts about John’s invention. 27.What is the basis for John’s work?A.Nature can repair itself.B.Organisms need water to survive.C.Life on Earth is diverse.D.Most tiny creatures live in groups.【正确答案】24.C 25.D 26.B 27.A【导语】这是一篇记叙文。

You will need to live in the 10 that allows the good that comes from your circle to 11 the peace of that goodness to 12.

We cannot create world peace if we are 17 with inner conflicts, hatred, 18, or anger. We radiate(流露) the feelings and thoughts that we hold 19, whether we speak them out or not.

He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, d id some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.1. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?A. He was silent most of the time.B. He was too proud of himself.C. He did not love his children.D. He expected too much of her.2. When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel .A. nervousB. sorryC. tiredD. safe3. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?A. More critical.B.

The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within. Then in 1966, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. It was slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known. In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm, rapidly becoming the world’s best-selling pineapple variety, and delivering naturallevels of sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple. In nutrition (营养) it was all good news too. This nice tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C(维生素C) than the old green variety. Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good against some diseases. People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. The new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater.Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte tried to keep market to itself. But other fruit companies argued successfully that Del Monte turned to law for help, but f ailed. Those companies argued successfully that Del Monte’s attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out the market.5. We learn from the text that the new type at pineapple is __________.A. preen outside and sweet insideB. good-looking outside and soft insideC. yellowy-gold outside and hard insideD. a little soft outside and sweet inside6. Why was the new type of pineapple selling well?A. It was rich in nutrition and tasted nice.B. It was less sweet and good for health.C. It was developed by Del Monte.D. It was used as medicine.7. The underlined word “fixture” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to something _________.A. that people enjoy eatingB. that is always presentC. that is difficult to getD. that people use as a gift8. We learn from the last paragraph that Del Monte _________.A. slowed other companies to develop pineapplesB. succeeded in keeping the pineapple for itselfC. tried hard to control the pineapple marketD. planned to help the other companiesCIt is often necessary to release a fish, that is , set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just don’t want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive (存活) to bite again another day.—When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible.Don’t’ use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying.—Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Don’t wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off the fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.—Remove your hook (鱼钩) quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish.—Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water . Release the fish when it begins to struggle and is able to swim.—Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it. If you are going to release a fish, do so right away.With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival.9. People sometimes set a fish free after catching it because they _________A. don’t want it to dieB. hope it will grow quicklyC. don’t want to have it as foodD. want to practice their fishing skills10. Which of the following will probably make a fish ill?A. Taking the hook off it.B. Removing its scales.C. Touching its evesD. Holding it in your hand.11. A proper way to release a fish is to _________.A .move it in water till it can swim B. take the hook out of its stomach C. keep it in a bucket for some time D. let it struggle a little in your hand12. What is the purpose of the test?A. To show how to enjoy fishing.B. To persuade people to fish less often.C. To encourage people to set fish free.D. To give advice on how to release fish.。

Passage 1When I was about to go back home, it was dark. In order to get home as soon as possible, I hired a taxi. The car was 16 along the road, now well-lit, now sank in darkness. I broke the 17on purpose, 18 that the driver might be too tired to drive. “When do you go back home in the evening?” “9 o’clock. I’ll go after this trip.”“The n when do you come out in the morning?” I 19 another question.“9 o’clock, too. And I go home for lunch and dinner, just as if I worked at an office.” His easiness surprised me, because every time I ride in a taxi, what I hear from 20 are only complaints. They complain that they 21 work 22 , that it is 23 to earn money, that they are bullied (欺侮) by the policeman, or that the corporation leaders are seated, 24 , and enjoy the 25 of others’ work. It seems that they have a grievance (不满意) against everything. But this driver told me, “I find it 26 to be a section chief as I was before. I don’t like management work. I like driving, just for 27 . It’s 28 that I 29 drive without a passenger. So I can earn two or three thousand Y uan a month with ease. Any30? Yes, I never follow an empty taxi. If it goes31, I go northward. If it goes along the highway, I turn into a 32 street. In this way I always get customers.His words showed his satisfaction with his life and the pride he 33 in his job.

I got there a little early so I 21 the car by the roadside and waited for her.As I looked 22 the car window, there was a small park where I saw a little boy, around one and a half to two years old, 23 freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short 24 . The boy had a big smile on his face 25 he had just been set free from some sort of 26 . The boy would then fall to the grass, 27 , and without hesitation or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a 28 on his face.Kids, when they fall down, don’t view their falling down as failure, but29 ,they treat it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they 30 . Not only was I touched by the boy’s persistence, but I was 31 touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so 32 and so natural-no signs of fear, nervousness, or of being discouraged. His only 33 was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. He was just being a 34 -just being himself-being completely in the moment. He was not looking for 35 or was not worrying about whether 36 was watching. He wasn't concerned about being judged. He didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that maybe someone would see him 37 and that it would be 38 if he did fall. No, all that 39 to him was to him was to accomplish the task, to feel the experience of running fully and freely.I learned a lot from that 40 and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits in life.21.A.parked B.started C.rode D.broke22.A.toward B.down C.outside D.over23.A.playing B.running C.rolling D.smiling24.A.way B.distance C.time D.length 25.A.as though B.so long as C.even if D.now that 26.A.park B.cave C.castle D.prison 27.A.take up B.get up C.break down D.lie in 28.A.tear B.smile C.pleasure D.surprise 29.A.however B.instead C.therefore D.anyhow- 30.A.stop B.win C.achieve' D.succeed 31.A.equally B.apparently C.actually D.luckily 32.A.confident B.joyful C.quiet D.proud 33.A.worry B.dream C.aim D.conclusion 34.A.boy B.child C.player D.winner 35.A.approval B.fortune C.chance ' D.trouble 36.A.anyone B.someone C.everyone D.one 37.A.fail B.run C.cry D.fall 38.A.disappointing B.embarrassing C.frightening D.amusing 39.A.happened B.cared C.mattered D.related 40.A.observation B.discovery C.story D.IncidentPassage 658 of my life.

I felt 58 that the one of the boys was brave enough to stand up against his friends to help someone 59 , but I felt sad that no one else had even taken a second 20 .

Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother’s body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock. Just at this moment she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot(地点) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother’s love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring (吼叫) all the time, but to her calf it was music.21.

By taking it away with her.D. By carrying it on her back.23. How did the calf feel about the mother elephant’s roaring?A. It was a great comfort.B. It was a sign of danger.C. It was a call for help.D. It was a musical note.24. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Mother’s LoveB. A Brave ActC. A Deadly RiverD. A Matter of Life and DeathBComputer programmer David Jones earns ¥35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card (信用卡). Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18. The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is findinga job. David’s firm releases (推出) two new games for the fast throwing computer market each month.But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage (抵押贷款), or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,” he said. David spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,” he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway.” David added: “I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement (退休) is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.”25. In what way is David different from people of his age?A. He often goes out with friends.B. He lives with his mother.C. He has a handsome income.D. He graduated with six O-levels.26. What is one of the problems that David is facing now?A. He is too young to get a credit card.B. He has no time to learn driving.C. He has very little spare time.D. He will soon lose his job.27. Why was David able to get the job in the company?A. He had done well in all his exams.B. He had written some computer programs.C. He was good at playing computer games.D. He had learnt to use computers at school.28. Why did David decide to leave school and start working?A. He received lots of job offers.B. He was eager to help his mother.C. He lost interest in school studies.D. He wanted to earn his own living.CWe have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it’s hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections (感染) we think of as human infections started in other animals,” says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.It’s not just that we’re going to where the animals are; we’re also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country.A strange illness killed Isaksen’s pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. “I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them,” says Isaksen.“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing,” says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful (有害的). Monkey-pox doesn’t look a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.29. We learn from Paragraph 1 that the pet sold at the shop may _________.A. come from ColumbiaB. prevent us from being infectedC. enjoy being with childrenD. suffer from monkey-pox30. Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets?A. They attack human beings.B. We need to study native animals.C. They can’t live out of the rain forest.D. We do not know much about them yet.31. What does the phrase “the wake-up call” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. a new diseaseB. a clear warningC. a dangerous animalD. a morning call32. The text suggests that in the future we _______.A. may have to fight against more new diseasesB. may easily get infected by diseases from dogsC. should not be allowed to have petsD. should stop buying pets from Africa。

With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use themThe main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors (处理器) , or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast.There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a manager’s point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units (显示器). The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for lo, ng hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been inventedbut few companies in England bother to buy them.Whatever the arguments for and against word processor, they are a key feature (特征) of this revolution in office practice.。

高三英语45分钟集训卢刚Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.I read of a man who was involved in a terrible accident. He lost both legs and his 1 arm and only a finger and 2 remained on the right hand. There was only enough left of the man that had been, to suffer and remember. But he still possessed a brilliant 3 , enriched with a good education and broadened with world travel. 4 he thought there was nothing he could do but remain a 5 sufferer. Then a thought came to him. It was always nice to receive letters, but why not write 6 --he could still use his right hand with some 7 . But whom could he write to? Was there anyone like him who could be 8 by his letters? He thought of men in prison. Though kept in small dark cells(牢房), they did have some hope of being set free earlier, yet some had none. It was worth a try. He supposed they might need him. He wrote to a Christian organization concerned with prison ministry. He was told that his letters could not be answered—it was against prison rules, but he 9 this one-sided correspondence(通信). He wrote twice a week and into those letters he put his whole soul, all his experience, all his faith, and all his Christian optimism. It must have been hard writing those letters, often in pain, and 10 when there was no reply. Frequently he felt discouraged and wanted to give it up. But it was his one 11 activity and he determined to continue as long as he could. At last he got a letter. It was very short, written by the officer whose duty was to examine the mail. All it said was: “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from 12 till they fall to pieces.”No matter what our personal situation is, we still have God-given gifts and talents, experience, and encouragement that we can share with others.1.

She remembered how difficult 13 was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father. She wished that he was as easy to please as her mother, who was always delighted with perfume.Besides, shopping at this time of the year was not 14 pleasant experience: people stepped on your feet 15 pushed you with their elbows(肘部), hurrying ahead to get to a bargain.Jane paused in front of a counter 16 some attractive ties were on display.“They are real silk,” the assistant tried to attract her. “Worth double the price.”17 Jane knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.Jane stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered. She found some good quality pipes 18 sale. She did not hesitate for long: although her father smoked a pipe only once in a while, she knew that this was a present which was bound to please 19 .When Jane got home, with her small but well-chosen present in her bag, her parents were already 20 table having supper. Her mother was excited. “Your father has at last decided to stop smo king,” Jane was informed.Write one WORD for each answer.More and more Chinese mainland buyers have in the past few weeks been queuing to cross the border into Hong Kong to lessen increasing financial pressure led by rising food prices at home.Their shopping baskets are full of sugar, salt and even tissue paper.While prices are rising so fast, many people are worrying out ways to cut down their expenses.Du Zhenqi, an 80-year-old Beijinger, grows different vegetables in the yard.But this year, before they turned ripe, they were all picked by his neighbors.“The prices of vegetables have gone up sharply,” said Du.“So I understand those people and it pleased me to offer them my help.” Du expressed his sympathy for those who took away his vegetables without permission.The rise of food price in China has made people with low incomes feel serious financial pressure and forced them to spend wisely.A collection of practical money-saving tips is thus becoming increasingly popular among Chinese citizens.If you search “money-saving strategies” in Baidu, you will find 4.27 million entries in 0.19 seconds.The collection provides tips such as choosing local and seasonal products, avoiding buying vegetables on rainy or snowy days when higher transport costs increase prices, using websites for purchases, and planting vegetables on the balcony.Some consider buying in large quantity to stay within a tight budget.Fei Yuqin, who lives in Shanghai, frequently hurries to a farmers’ market before 6 a.m. to buy large amounts of vegetables for her family and neighbors.“Instead of buying small amounts, I buy large amounts of vegetables at the market and get a 50-percent discount.”With these tips, many people have been able to cut household expenses.However, financialWrite NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Happy birthday! Do birthday really make people happy? Of course they do.Birthday celebrate the day when we were born.Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggest another year of growth and maturity—or so we hope.We all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older.Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as well.For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud.For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process.But growing old? That is a different story.Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented(以年轻人为中心)American culture.Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young.As t he old saying goes, “You’re young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old.People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom.But Americans seem to favor those that are yo ung, or at least “young at heart”.Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden.Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by.Retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income.Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference.Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care, and housing.Some even experience age discrimination.American sociologist(社会学家) Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person and wandered around city streets.She was often treated rudely--even cheated and robbed.However, when dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast.Why? People are living longer.Fewer babies are being born.And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the group of the elderly.America may soon be a place where wrinkles(皱纹)are “in”.Marketing experts are ready noticing this growing group of consumers.In Britain and other countries, young people sometimes take a gap year, a year off between high school and college.This idea never gained a big following in America.Recent news reports have suggested that interest may be growing, though there are no official numbers.Charles Deacon, Dean of Admissions at Georgetown University in Washington, DC estimate that in the current first-year class of 1600 students, only about 25 decided to take a year off.He says this number h asn’t changed much over the years.Mr.Deacon says the most common reason for taking a gap year is to have a chance to travel, but he says international students may take a gap year to meet requirements at home for military duty.Some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover after twelve years of required education, but it can also give students a chance to explore their interests.Students hoping to be doctors, for example, could learn about the profession by volunteering in a hospital.Many colleges and universities support gap-year projects by permitting students to delay their admission.Experts say students can grow emotionally and intellectually as they work at something they enjoy.The Harvard admissions office has an essay on its Web site called “Time Out or Burn Out for the Next Generation” It praises the idea of taking time off to step back, think and enjoy gaining life experiences outside the pressure of studies.It also notes that students are sometimes admitted to Harvard or other colleges partly because they did something unusual with that time.Of course, a gap year is not for everyone.Students might miss their friends who go on directly to college, and parents might worry that their children will decide not to go to college once they take time off.Another concern is money.A year off, away from home, can be costly.Holly Bull’s job is to specialize in helping students plan their gap year.She notes that several books have been written about this subject.She says these books along with media attention and the availability of information on the Internet have increased interest in the idea of a year off, and she points out that many gap-year programs cost far less than a year of college.41.What is the passage mainly about?A.If you want to go to an American university, take a gap year first.B.More and more American students are choosing to take a year off.C.It is likely that taking a gap year is becoming popular in America.D.A mericans hold different opinions towards students taking a gap year.学生误读开篇信息。
