1.请根据短文内容判断给出的语句是否正确，正确的在括号内写(T),错误的在括号内写(F)。

Graffiti painting is traditionally a daredevil pursuit. Teenagers dodge security guards to put their names on trains and buses. But over the past decade, graffiti has all but disappeared from Britain's cities. Between 2007 and 2012 the number of incidents of graffiti recorded by the British Transport Police fell by 63%. A survey by the Environment Ministry shows that fewer places are blighted by tags than ever. Graffiti are increasingly confined to sanctioned walls, such as the Stockwell ball courts. In

time the practice may die out entirely.

The most obvious reason for the decline in tagging and train-painting is better policing. Numerous CCTV cameras mean it is harder to get away with painting illegally. And punishments are more severe. A generational shift is apparent, too. Fewer teenagers are getting into painting walls. They prefer to play with iPads and video games. Some have gone to art school and want to make money from their paintings. The Internet means that painters can win far more attention by posting pictures online than they can by breaking into a railway yard.

Taggers and graffiti artists mostly grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. Those men一and almost all are men-are now older and less willing to take risks. Graffiti may eventually disappear. But for now the hobby is almost respectable. The former graffiti artists paint abandoned warehouses at

the weekend. It has become .something to do on a Sunday afternoon-a slightly healthier alternative to sitting and watching football.

(1). ( ) Teenagers are not afraid of being caught by security guards when they put their names on trains and buses. A T B F

参考答案: B

(2). () Less tags can be found in public places nowadays. A T B F

参考答案: A

(3). () Graffiti decreases because of better policing. A T B F

参考答案: A

(4). ( ) Some teenagers go to art school in order to learn to paint walls.

A T

B F

参考答案: B

(5). () Taggers and graffiti artists are still willing to take risks. A T B F 参考答案: B

1.阅读下列短文，从A、B、C三个选项中选出一个正确答案。

Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory(印第安人保护区)that is now Oklahoma. like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.

Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16,his mother and father were also dead, Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete(运动员) in several sports, including base ball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.

In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S Olympic team.He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events,including the long jump and the 1500ter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said,“Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world." Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King."

Education is very important to our society and the .tomorrow of our country.So,its important for parents to pay attention to the children education .In addition,most parents send their children to kinds of training classes.They believe it can help their children to consolidate what they have learned.However,is it true that we can help our children to learn better in this way?In my opinion,I don’t thins so.As for me,the essence of education is not only to teach our children knowledge ,but also these kills they have to depend on and different kinds of ways they need to solve the problems when they meet in daily life.Whats more,living a happy and hopeful life is also very important.I hope that in

the future our children are happy.
