Walmsley.Personally,my view is that homework is totally 2 (necessary)for primary school pupils and those in the first three years of secondary school education.However,I will admit that 3 is necessary to do some homework when students reach their important exam years.At that stage—from the age of 10 and4(high)—homework assignments serve a purpose;they provide opportunities for students to develop valuable skills in5(depend)research and the fundamental principles of academic honesty.Ultimately,each school,teacher and parent will draw their own line in thesand when 6 (determine)the correct age for pupils to be given homework,but discussions over homework should not stop there.For parents, 7 it comes to homework,there is a fine line between helping your children and doing the homework for

(沙粒)and dust at the road’s edge.Not lots of it—a penny here.Sometimes,on really 5 days,I’d find more than a quarter.Some days,I wouldn’t find anything.Other days,I’d come back with more than twenty-five cents. 6 back now,it was not 7 the money that was such a big deal;it was the joy of 8 .It made me feel so 9 .Yet,it wasn’t until years later that that simple 10 came to mean so much more to me than simply a child’s happiness.My mother told me a truth that I had never 11 .“Remember when you used to walk with Grandma up Cummings Road?” she started the conversation.All those years,she 12 ,my grandfather used to drive up and down the walking route, 13 change for me to find.I was 14 .He never told me himself.I remembered how he’d smile when I dug my find out of my pocket to show him.I’d

order to answer this question,we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not all historical buildings are attractive.However,there may be other reasons—for example,economic(经济的)reasons—why they should be preserved.So,let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view,new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.Indeed,there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings.As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响)its surroundings too much,it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏)the area they are in,but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的)and do not like change.Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings,I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward.If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves.Thus,I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different,even though that might be the more risky choice.1.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?A.Some of them are not attractive.B.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.2.Which of the following is true according to the author?A.We should reproduce the same old buildings.B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.3.B y“move things forward”in the last paragraph,the author probably means“.”A.destroy old buildingsB.put things in a different placeC.choose new architectural stylesD.respect people’s feelings for historical buildings4.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain why people dislike change.B.To warn that we could end up living in caves.C.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.D.To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.一、单句填空1.however 句意:无论有多少工作要做,你都应该好好睡上一觉。

credits.The idea is still developing.So far,most massive open online courses are in computer science,technology,mechanics and engineering.For example,students around the world are taking a free course called “Building a Computer Search Engine”.Two computer scientists,Sebastian Thrun and David Evans,are offering this course through .There are no education requirements for the course.The students watch short videos.Then,says Mr.Evans,they take informal quizzes(测试)after the videos each week for six weeks.David Evans:“Quizzes are part of the lecture to keep students engaged and keep them thinking,for students to be able to check that they understood what we covered.Those are not graded and students can try those as often as they wish.They can repeatedly watch the videos and take the quizzes whenever they want.”Students receive homework.They join online groups to exchange questions and answers about the course.The teachers hold office hours to answer questions that the students have voted to send them.They also present their own questions and observations to the students in order to help them make a deeper impression of the course.The students take a final examination to show where they rate in the class.Everyone who finishes the course receives a grade and proof of completion.Top students get letters documenting their work.Mr.Thrun started Udacity,which supports free

It ended up on December 30. But it told the drivers the meaning of the new traffic laws and the dangers of drinking.In Beijing, some restaurants put up notices and told drivers about their responsibility. “Usually if a group of guests come by car, the driver won’t drink. If he does, we will remi nd him,” said a waitress from Dongfang Restaurant in Beijing. Fewer drivers are drinking alcohol nowadays, since many know about the campaign. Wang Lankun, a traffic policeman in Beijing said, “Some drivers think a glass of beer is not a problem. But a blood test will show that their blood-alcohol level is more than 20mg for each 100ml of blood, that is enough to affect their driving.”During the campaign, drivers who have a blood-alcohol level of over 20mg for each 100ml of blood will get a fine of 500 yuan. Also, they will not be allowed to drive for three months.In fact, there are strict laws to punish drunk driving in many other countries. For example, in the USA, if someone has a blood-alcohol level of over 80mg for each 100ml of blood, he will be sent to prison for one year. But in Britain, he will be fined5,000 pounds and banned (禁止)from driving for 12 months, also he will be sent to prison for 6 months. In Germany, if a driver has a blood-alcohol level of over 60mg for each 100ml of blood, he won’t be allowed to drive until he passes a new driving test.11.How long did the campaign last?A.For about half a year.B.For about four and a half months.C.For about 12 months.D.For about three months.12.The police officers watched many places except ___________.A.restaurantsB.KTVsC.schoolsD.bars13.If a driver drinks a glass of beer before driving in China,_________A.it won’t affect his driving.B.he will take a new driving test and get a driver’s license.C.he won’t be allowed to drive for three months.D.his blood-alcohol level will be over 60mg for each 100ml of blood.14.If a driver has a blood-alcohol level of over 80mg for each 100ml of blood in Germany,which punishment will he accept?A.One year in prison.B.Banned until he passes a new driving test.C.A 12-month ban from the roads.D.A fine of 5000 pounds.15.From the text, we know_________.A.The waitress in the restaurant can remind the driver not to drinkB.More and more drivers are drinking alcohol nowadaysC.The Ministry Publish Security began this campaign to punish the driversD.All drivers must pass a new driving test if they drive after drinkingMarco Polo(马可波罗) was born in Venice in 1254. He was the most famous foreigner to visit Asia(亚洲)during the Middle Ages. He wrote a book about his travels. In his book he wrote all the things he saw and heard. Many people in the west read the book, but few believed what Marco Polo said in the book. He told stories about a lot of strange people and places.

It was also a great moment for China because it was the country’s first gold medal in the pairs figure(花样)skating competition at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.Everyone was very quiet when Shen and Zhao were skating onto the ice. They were expecting something wonderful to happen. As soon as the music started, Shen and Zhao skated around the field quickly with beautiful style; every move was perfect. When the music stopped, all the people cheered. In the end Shen and Zhao won the Olympic gold medal.In China, winter sports are not as popular as they are in America and Northern European countries. So China sent only 90 athletes to Vancouver to take in a few, carefully chosen sports. Such a good decision also led to Wang Meng and Zhao Yang winning gold medals in the little known, but exciting sports of short track (轨道) speed skating.China did not win a lot of medals at these Winter Games. Most of the events are still very new to China and need to be developed. But Chinese athletes learn very quickly. For example, China’s women’s curling team(冰壶队) only began in 2003, but they were No. 1 at the 2009 World Women’s Curling Championship.This means that with hard work and a bit of luck, China’s winter stars could soon shine on the world stage.36.Shen Xue won the gold medal in the ________event at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.A. pairs of figure skatingB. short track speed skatingC. women’s curlingD. long track speed skating37.The people were _____when Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo started skating at the games.A. noisyB. quietC. cheeringD. excited 38.The underlined(划线)word “couple” means _____in Chinese.A. 对手B. 朋友C. 夫妻D. 同事39.China’s women’s curling team won’t be eight years old until______.A. 2003B. 2009C. 2010D. 201140.What made China’s winter athletes get such a success?A.

But villagers who work in Chengdu, about 100 miles away, hurried back home Sunday morning, many on foot, the lucky oneson motorbikes, to check on their homes.Song Yuanqing, 43, a worker, arrived back after a 22-hour trip and found his house was still there but had already been very unstable(摇摇欲坠). “We would like to do something, but we can’t do anything,” Mr. Song said as he sat with neighbors around an outdoor fire built by the village leader in his backyard.In all, the government sent about 7,000 soldiers and People’s Armed Police officer s to the earthquake-hit area. By Saturday evening, there were so many rescue workers in the area that the government asked volunteers to stop coming.Li Keqiang, China’s prime minister, flew to the area and slept in a tent on Saturday evening in Lushan County.The earthquake shook Sichuan Province at 8 a.m., when people were getting up a little later than usual because schools and universities were closed.“We were just getting up and getting dressed in our dormitory when the building shook, and I looked outside from our window and saw a row of houses had collapsed,” Xu Yan, 22, a student at the Agricultural University in Ya’an, said in a telephone interview. “I had never flew down the stairs faster.”The Chinese government said early Sunday that the death toll was 174, and about 5,700 people had been injured.The earthquake was also felt in Chengdu, one of China’s biggest cities and the capital of Sichuan Province. People described water getting out of home aquariums and things like balls falling to the floor.In the town of Longmen, another hard-hit area near Ya’an, a local man, Zhang Yan, said 90 percent of the buildings had collapsed.“About 100 people died around here,” Ms. Zhang said in a telephone interview. “Rescue teams have not yet arrived. Th ere is no water or electricity.”In the 2008 quake, many schools of poor quality collapsed and killed thousands of students. This time, many people also expressed their worries about students on their micro-blogs.Sichuan Province is also one of China’s b est-known hometowns for pandas, and at the Bifengxia reserve, about six miles north of Ya’an, workers said that 20 pandas in the park were safe. “We examined the panda area after the quake, and they were not affected,” said Chen Yong, an officer of the reserve.41.When did the quake take place in Ya’an?

China WeeklyHundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news of their country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?Firstly, it’s important to report news. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories from those on TV.Secondly, a new story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories of everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead they print stories about plane accidents.Another factor(因素) is also very important. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers. 46.According to the passage, how do people learn about news in the world now?A. They carry news stories and tell others from place to place on foot or by horse.B. They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.C. They watch TV or read newspapers.D. They listen to the radio every day.47.Newspapers have been an important part of the daily life since ______.A. 19th centuryB. 18th centuryC. 16th centuryD. 17th century 48.The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that ____.A. people can learn more about the same news from a newspaperB. people can read the news story more quickly in a newspaperC. people can read news stories in other countriesD. people can read news stories about their own country49.To make a good newspaper story, how many factors does the passage talk about?A. Two.B. Three.C. Five.D. Six.50.Which is NOT TRUE in the passage?A. Newspapers may print different stories from those on TV.B. People like to read interesting and unusual news like plane accidents.C. Many Chinese people have no interest in news in their own countries.D. Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life for more than three hundred years.The Diaoyu islands have a long history as part of China's territory(领土), belonging to the country since ancient times. They are located(位于) to the northeast of China's Taiwan Island, The total landmass of these islands (总面积) is about 5.69 square kilometers.Since the Japanese government “bought” the Diaoyu Islands, the tension (紧张)between China and Japan about the islands has gone up. Several major Shanghai travel agencies have decided to stop organizing tours to Japan and advised Japan-bound (前往日本的) tourists to make other plans, becauese of the Diaoyu Islands issue(争端).The Shanghai China CYTS Outbound Travel Service Co. Ltd. (上海中青旅出境旅游服务有限公司)stopped the tour to Japan and will gradually stop receiving tourist bookings(预订) to Japan after the National Day holiday, according to Liu Xin, the company’s manager.The Shanghai branch of the China Travel International Ltd. (中国国际旅行社有限公司上海分部) also said it was advising people who wanted to visit Japan to change their plans.In fact, tourists had already begun to ask for cancellation(取消) of their tours to Japan because they were worried about their safety.Last year, more than 100,000 tourists from Shanghai went to Japan on organized tours. That made Japan the second most popular tour place for travelers from the city, only after Thailand.51.The Dia oyu Islands don’t belong to Japan, do they?A. Yes, they do.B. Yes, they are.C.

But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that peoplebecome happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 24 and 25. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men. Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings. They so spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.【小题1】According to the survey of the Gallup Organization people are most likely to become happier .A. when they are between the ages of 18 and 85B. when they come to their old ageC. when they are in their twentiesD. when they are 18 years old 【小题2】You may have the highest level of stress when you are at the age of .A. 20B. 25C. 35D. 40【小题3】According to Arthur Stone, old people may .A. have a positive attitude towards their lifeB. know how to spend money wiselyC. dream about good things every dayD. control their behaviors better 【小题4】Who would probably show the greatest interest in the passage?A. Those who are worried about getting oldB. Those who are single and unemployedC. Those who feel unhappy all the timeD. Those who suffer from mental stress 【小题5】What would be the best title for the passage?A. Getting Older Means Getting HappierB. The Young Are Happier Than the OldC. Women Are Easier to Be Happy in LifeD. The Younger, the HappierIn the past ten years, many scientists have studied the differences between men and women. And they all got the same answer: The sexes(性别) are different, because their brains are different. And this, the scientists say, makes men and women see the world in different ways.。

So do we have time for physical exercise.What shall we do it to improve the situation? All of us shouldn’t realize the adverse effects of modern media.Let’s limit your time of playing with cellphones or computer games.Instead we should spend less time playing sports or talking with our friends,who helps us relax and communicate.That’s all.Thank you!一、单句填空1.that 句意:已经证明有规律地运动对健康有益。
考单招——上高职单招网新闻报道类(I)★★★MONTREAL (Reuters) – Crossing the US-Canada border(边界)to go to church on aSunday cost a US citizen $10,000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security(安全)rules.The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop,eat and go to church.There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US-which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs(海关)station in this are is closed on Sundays, so be just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later. Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer toldhim he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally(非法).Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they canenter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May.

With thecity’s population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to考单招——上高职单招网boom by 2020, Chen Yin, and official with the water authority, said Shanghai’s water consumption will not increase from its present amount.Zhang Yue, director of the Urban Construction Division under the Ministry of Construction, said, “Shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these ambitions. They will not be easy to achieve.”He said water saving will help keep the sustainable development of China’s economy.Saving one cubic meter of water means saving the city’s infrastructure (基础设施)costs by 10,000 Yuan. Last year, Shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustment of industrial structure or the employment of new technology.“The aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortages,” Chen said. “The abundant surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improp er use of water.”Shanghai lacks drinkable water. The Huangpu River, which supplies 80 percent of the city’s drinkable water, is nearing exhaustion.The city, therefore, has been exploring new sources from the Yangtze River and growing forests along it to conserve quality water.Besides penning regulations, the authority is popularizing technology among the public to efficiently cut the amount of water used.At present, the city has 600,000 family toilets, each using 13 liters of water per flush. These are to be renovated(整修)to use only 9 liters of water per flush.The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households – at a cost of 40 Yuan each.In three years, all the toilets will be renovated, which saves the city nearly 15 million Yuan every year in water conservation.Another task the city is engaged in is the treatment of sewage(污水)to improve the water environment.At present the city can only treat 44 percent of its daily 5.04 million tons of waste water. To meet the total demand, 27 more sewage treatment factories are to be established with an estimated investment of 18 billion Yuan.考单招——上高职单招网1.People in Shanghai get their daily water mainly from _______now.A.the underground B.the rainC.the Yangtze River D.the Huangpu River2.According to the passage, some people have the wrong opinion of using waterbecause .A.the renovating of family toilets will save plenty of waterB.about half of waste water has been treated alreadyC.advanced technology makes people use water as much as possibleD.there is plenty surface water and large amount of rain at present3.The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for householdsto .A.make people’s living more convenientB.improve people’s living standar dsC.ease employment pressureD.meet the total demand of water4.Which group of measures are all mentioned in the passage to save water?a.improve drinking water qualityb.change some industrial structurec.introduce or use some new technologyd.speed the economic development of Shanghaie.renovate some family toiletsf.build more sewage treatment factories考单招——上高职单招网A.a, b, c, d B.b, c, e, fC.b, c, d, e D.a, b, e, f5.We can infer from the passage that .A.the boom of economy will need a larger amount of water in the futureB.citizens today in Shanghai drink the best quality of water in the worldC.not everyone today in Shanghai is aware of water shortageD.all the family toilets will be renovated to save water within 3 years1-5 DDDBC(V)★★★Only three local students won Chinese Blog(博客)Competition.
