江苏省淮安中学ii部高三英语第二轮专题复习--完形填空1
淮安中学II部高三英语第二轮专题复习——完形填空第一课时完形填空导与练一、考纲要求考纲把完形填空归于英语知识运用题，对它的具体要求为：在一篇250-300词（或200-250词）的短文中留出20个空，要求考生从每小题所给的4个选项中选出最佳选项，使补足后的短文意思通顺、前后连贯、结构完整。
考纲仍然遵循突出语篇、强调运用、注重交际的原则，强调对学生综合运用能力的考查以及语言知识的积累和复习。
二、题型分析1、完形填空题在高考题中分值为20分，占了六分之一的分数。
20个选项的80个词或词组应是不重复的。
2、它以考查实词为主，动词部分（包括非谓语动词）约占40%；名词约占15%；形容词、副词约占30%；其它约占15%。
在文章的选材上贴近考生的认知能力。
考生看懂文章应不是问题。
3、得分率不高的原因：思维逻辑的不正确以及相近词或词组的辨析能力差；不能够融会贯通地从上下文分析；不能够将平时所学词或词组的确切含义再现出来。
4、完形填空题是考查考生对所学知识的综合运用，是知识网络再现的过程。
如果平时没有将所学知识有机的联系在一起，也就不会有再现的过程。

She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be absolutely exact. Then carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way six blocks to the pharmacy （药房）.She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. So she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it!“And what do you want?” the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven’t seen in ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question.“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “He’s really, really sick… and I want to buy a miracle.”“I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist.“His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”The pharmacist’s brother was a well dressed man. He bent down and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”“I don’t know,” Tess replied with her eyes welling up. “I just know he’s really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.”“How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago.“One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered. “And it’s all the money I have.”“Well, what a coincidence. A dollar and eleven cents—the exact price of a miracle for little brother,” smiled t he man.“Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”The pharmacist’s brother, Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, was expert in neurosurgery(神经外科). The operation was completed without charge and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again and doing well.Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place. “That surgery,” her Mom whispered. “was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?”Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost…one dollar and eleven cents…plus the faith of a little chi ld.1.

Psychologists at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand are studying the “shop-till-you-drop” habit as a behavioral disorder similar to compulsive eating. Compulsive shoppers frequently buy more than they can afford or more than they need, and it causes them distress.“It becomes a problem when you are out of control,” psychology lecturer Neville Blampied said. “When you are feeling bad and blue, what do you do? Some people eat chocolate cake and ice cream. Some people take the credit card and go out to the shop.” Bank managers understand the problem because they have to deal with people who have to be persuaded to stop using their cards drawing money.Compulsive shopping was first discovered in 1915, although it was then known as oniomania. Few studies have been done on the problem.An advertisement in a Christchurch paper, calling for people to take part in an experimental treatment program designed by Mr Wilson, attracted 10 replies. But the p roblem, said Mr Wilson, is “clearly not rare”. He thinks that compulsive shopping should not be treated with drugs. “As psychologists we are interested in non-drug treatments for behavioral difficulties,” Mr Wilson said.Compulsive eaters or shoppers get a kick from their habit. “Both activities provide an immediate kind of kick and you feel a bit better,” he said. “You have long-term problems, but human beings are extremely good at not seeing long-term problems and are very sensitive toshort-term benefits,” he said.The aim of the treatment was to help people find better ways of managing their emotions. The program, consisting of 10 one-hour weekly lessons and two follow-up treatments, is loosely based on teaching stress management.“You often have to start to get people to correctly recognize their emotions. Not being able to know what you really feel weakens your ability to solve the problems connected with what’s making you feel that way,” Mr Wilson said.8. What is this article mostly about?A. Signs of compulsive shopping.B. Studies of compulsive shopping.C. comparison of compulsive shopping and compulsive eating.D. An experimental treatment program designed by Mr Wilson.9. The underlined word“it”in the first paragraph most p robably refersto .A. a new psychological excuseB. compulsive eatingC. the study done by BlampiedD. the behavior of wild shopping10. Which of the following is considered important in treating compulsive shoppers?A. Teaching them to manage their money better.B. Teaching them to understand their emotions.C. Persuading them not to draw money from the bank.D. Treating them with right drugs.11. When the writer says that compulsive shoppers get a kick from theirhabit, he means that they .A. feel distressed after their wild shoppingB. feel better after treatment from psychologistsC. are better able to deal with stress problemsD. have a feeling of excitement after shoppingDAmerica has always had people of many different nationalities and languages. The 1990 census (人口普查) indicates that almost 14% of Americans speak a non-English language at home. Yet only 3% reported that they spoke English “not well” or “not at all ”. That means that slightly more than one out of 10 Americans could be considered bilingual. Besides that, many high school and college students—and even some elementary school students—are required to take a foreign language. Actually, a growing number of Americans are coming to appreciate the benefits of using different languages.Ethnic enclaves(少数民族聚居地) have preserved the language and culture of American immigrants. Some local residents can function quite well in their native language, without having to bother learning English. Regions such as southern Florida and the Southwest have numerous Spanish-speaking neighborhoods. In fact, Spanish speakers—numbering over 17 million—form the largest non-English linguistic group in America. But Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, Polish and many other ethnic group add to the linguistic flavor of America. Foreign languages are so commonly used in some ethnic neighborhoods that visitors might think they are in another country!Although some Americans welcome this linguistic and cultural diversity, others have begun to fear that the English language is being threatened. Since the 1980s, the “English Only” movement has sought to promote legislation（立法）which would establish English as the “official language” and restrict the use o f non-English language. However, some groups, including TESOL, the organization for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Language, object to such “language restrictionism”. But so far, 19 states have passed “English Only” legislation, and the topic is the focus of an ongoing debate.Whether or not English is the official language of the United States, it remains the “language of wider communication”. Nearly everyone recognizes the need to develop the ability in using English in order to do well in America. Americans also recognize that English is the international language, and people with good English skills can get by in many international settings. On the other hand, in a world growing increasingly smaller, second language skills can be a great favor. They can build cross-cultural bridges and give people an edge in a variety of career field. Indeed, lack of foreign language skill can limit one’s chances for advancement and keep one in a cultural dead-end street. 12. Ethnic groups have preserved their native languagesbecause .A. their native languages are commonly used in their neighborhoodsB. ethnic groups are not allowed to speak EnglishC. ethnic groups can do very well in their native languagesD. ethnic groups don’t allow their na tives to learn English13. The underlined word “bilingual” in paragraph 1 probablymeans .A. being able to speak two languagesB. being able to speak one languageC. being able to speak different languagesD. being able to speak many foreign languages 14. Which of the following is TRUE about “English Only” movement?A. Its purpose was to establish a legislation of restricting the use of English.B. TESOL was in favor of “English Only” by objecting to “English plus”.C. It was launched because English was being threatened.D. A large majority of states supported the movement.15. What can be the best title of this passage?A. The English Only MovementB. Learn to speak EnglishC. English—an International LanguageD. Being BilingualEA villa (别墅) designed to resist earthquakes with “self-healing” cracks in its walls, thanks to nanotechnology (纳米技术) applications with self-healing polymers (聚合物), is to be built on a Greek mountainside. The villa’s walls will include special particles tha t turn into a liquid when squeezed under pressure, flow into cracks, and then harden to form a solid material.The NanoManufacturing Institute (NMI), based in Leeds University, will play a key role in an EU project to construct the home by December 2010. The project, called “Intelligent Safe and Secure Buildings” (ISSB) is funded under the EU’s Sixth Framework program. This potentially life-saving scheme is led by German building manufacturerKnauf. The villa will be built in Amphilochia, in western Greece, where Knauf currently runs a manufacturing plant. If the experiment is successful, more tremor-resistant（防震）homes could be built in earthquake zones across the globe. NMI chief executive Professor Terry Wilkins said, “What we’re trying to achieve here is very exciting. We’re looking to use polymers in much tougher situations than ever before on a larger scale.” Monitors contained in the villa’s walls will be able to collect vast amounts of data about the building over time. Wireless sensors will record any stresses and vibrations, as well as temperature, humidity and gas levels.The walls are to be built from new load-bearing steel frames and high-strength gypsum（石膏）board. Prof Wilkins said, “If there are any problems, the intelligent sensor network will be able to alert residents immediately so they have time to escape.” If whole groups of houses are so constructed, we could use a larger network of sensors to get even more information. “If the house falls down, we have got hand-held devices that can be used over the rubble to pick out where the embedded（嵌入的）sensors are hidden to get some information about how the villa collapsed.” Also, we can get information about anyone who may be around, so it potentially becomes a tool for rescue.16. The aim of the passage is to .A. report a piece of interesting newsB. promote tremor-resistant homesC. inform us of the nanotechnology developmentD. tell us about a tremor-resistant home17. The villa can resist earthquakes because .A. it will be built on a special placeB. the cracks in its walls can be healed by the polymersC. the special particles can make its walls strongerD. the intelligent sensor network can tell people where there is a crack18. If the tremor-resistant home falls down, .A. rescue work can be done more quickly and accuratelyB. the intelligent sensor network will stop workingC. no one can be hurt in the earthquakeD. a warning signal will be given to other residents19. What Prof Wilkins said suggests that .A. he is doubtful about the projectB. he thinks the tremor-resistant home is perfectly designedC. he is confident in the tremor-resistant homeD. the tremor-resistant home still needs to be tested in a real situation20.

淮安中学II部高三英语限时阅读训练（二）阅读理解（共五篇，完成时间：40分钟）AChinese basketball players have never been so close to the NBA before but questions remain about how they will adjust to life in the NBA if they go.Wang Zhizhi, the 2.16-metre center for the Bayi Rockets who was chosen by the Dallas Mavericks two years ago, has finally received permission from authorities to travel to Dallas to play for the rest of the NBA season after he finishes playing in the Chinese Basketball Association’s finals on March 25th.If he has no problems with his visa，Wang will be the NBA’s first Asian player Wang was chosen by the Mavericks in the second round of the 1999 draft but the Rockets, and army-run club, refused to let him go. After negotiationsbetween the Rockets and NBA representatives,the decision was made to allow Wang the chance to try his hand at American basketball, but only for a period of short time. He has to be back to play in the Ninth National Games in November in Guangzhou.Another center who has attracted attention from the NBA is Yao Ming, the 2.25-meter star who has led to the Shanghai Sharks into the finals fight with the Rockets this year. The 20-year-old’s NBA dreams might be harder to realize. Yao is the center of the Sharks and the club’s manager Bei Genyuan has said that he would allow Yao to go only at a proper time, for a proper team and under proper conditions.Yao hasn’t been chosen yet and it is unlikely that he will be any time soon. People in the Shark’s front office earlier told members of the press that “it is not proper for Yao to attend the draft this year” because he has to represent Shanghai in the Ninth National Games.Even if Wang and Yao make it to the promised land of basketball at last, analysts on both sides of the Pacific have said the NBA road will be a long one for both of them. Besides needing to work on their upper body strength, Wang and Yao will also have to adaptto the speed, techniques and above all, culture of the NBA.1.Yao Ming has attracted attention from NBA becauseA. he is 2.25 metres tall, who is the tallest basketball player in ChinaB. he is the center of the Shanghai Sharks and has led Sharks into the final fightwith theRocketsC. he is regarded as the best basketball player in ChinaD. he is thought highly of in the international world2.Yao Ming can play for NBA if .A. there is no problem with agrees to supply favorable conditions for himC. time and conditions are properD.NBA can pay a large sum of money for Sharks3.The underlined phrase “try his hand” in the passage probably meansA.初试身手B.碰碰运气C.成为一员D.为其效劳4.NBA chose Wang Zhizhi so that .C. its whole level will be improvedD. it can make Wang Zhizhi world-famous5.When Wang Zhizhi plays in NBA, he will have to adapt to many things of NBA except .B. the speedC. cultureD. techniquesBThe saying that children don’t like reading any more has been proved untrue.A new study finds that 75 percent of kids between five and 17 say that although they love technology, they still want to read books.“The Kids & Family Reading Report” also says that 62 percent of kids prefer reading printed books rather than those on a computer. At the same time, those who search an author’s website or use the Internet to find books by a particular author, are more likely to read books for fun every day.The study also once again proves that the time kids spend reading books for fun decreases after the age of eight and continues to drop through the teen years. The report is a follow-up to a 2006 study. But this time the focus is on the role of technology and when kids’ interest in reading starts to drop.“Despite the fact that after the age of eight more children go online daily than read for fun daily, high frequency Internet users are more likely to read books for fun every day,” says Heather Carter, a writer of the report.One in four kids between five and 17 say they read books for fun every day and more than half of kids say they read books for fun at least two to three times a week. One of the key reasons kids say they don’t read more often is that they have trouble finding books they like — a requirement that parents underestimate.The study also finds that p arents have a strong influence on kids’ reading, but only about half of all parents begin reading to their kids before their first birthday. The percent of children who are read to every day drops from 38 percent among five-to eight-year-olds to 23 percent among nine-to 11-year-olds — exactly the same time that kids’ daily reading for fun starts to drop.“Parent engagement in their child’s reading from birth all the way through the teen years can have a great influence on how often their children read and how much they enjoy reading,” adds Carter.6. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. In modern society, most kids still like reading.B. Most kids are more likely to read e-books for fun every day.C. Parents have a strong influence on kids’ readingD. Most kids like reading as well as technology.7. It can be inferred from the passage that _____________.A. the study is conducted to find how much time children spend reading every dayB. the older children grow, the little they spend reading every dayC. about half of all parents begin reading to their kids before their first birthdayD. parent engagement in child’s reading can have a great influence on them8. What’s the best title of the passa ge?A. Do kids still like reading?B. Kids’ interest in reading drops.C. New technology on kids’ reading.D. Parents’ influence on kids’ reading.CWhen a handheld video game runs out of power, all you have to do is plug it in andcharge itup. Within a few years, some of you might do the same thing with mom’s car.Automobile companies are developing vehicles that will plug into electric sockets (插座), just like many laptops, digital cameras, cell phones and small video game players do. Called “plug-in hybrids (混合动力汽车),” these cars will get most of their power from electricity. Their drivers will rarely have to stop at gas stations.The technology is more than just cool. In our automobile-filled world, plug-in vehicles could reduce the amount of gasoline we use. That gas is made from crude oil, which has been kept rising in cost. Plus, driving around in these hybrids may even help the environment. Gas-burning cars produce a lot of carbon dioxide, a type of greenhouse gas. These gases stay in the atmosphere, where they trap heat and cause global warming.The first company-produced plug-in hybrids could hit the roads by 20l0. But engineers still have a lot of work to do to make the technology practical and inexpensive.Batteries are the biggest challenge. In the plug-in-hybrid world, Li-ion batteries are getting the most attention. These batteries can store a large amount of energy in a small package, and they last a relatively long time between charges. Li-ion batteries are standard in laptops, cell phones, heart devices and similar portable devices.But because cars are so big and heavy, it would still require a suitcase-sized Li-ion battery to power about l2km of driving. What’s more, the batteries are extremely expensive.“A car filled with batteries could go a long distance,” says Ted Bohn, an electrical engineer in Chicago. “But it couldn’t haul (拖拉) any people, and it would cost $l00,000.”So researchers need to figure out how to make batteries smaller and cheaper, among other questions.“The answers don’t exist yet,” Bohn says. “As a kid I thought someone someplace knows the answer to everything. All of these questions haven’t been decided. That’s what engineering is about —making a guess, running tests and fine-tuning results.”9. The writer wrote this passage with the purpose of __________________.A. how to charge the handheld video game upB. explaining a newly-developed batteryC. introducing a new carD. telling us how to make the new battery cheaper10. Which is true according to the passage?A. Plug-in hybrids will do no harm to the environment.B. Li-lion batteries in laptops can be used on plug-in hybrids.C. Some companies can produce plug-in hybrids now.D. Drivers of plug-in hybrids will spend less money on gasoline.11. From the passage, we can learn _________. A. we can buy one of “plug-in hybrids” nowB. all people will buy one after 20l0C. this kind of car can carry two personsD. some problems about “plug-in hybrids” remain to be don eDName: Off the Beaten PathCover price: $30.00Our price: $l9.80The best-selling Reader’s Digest travel book has 40% new content including over 200 new sites, over 200 new full-color photographs, and all-new, up-to-date maps.

She says you must study for the examinations for Queen’s College in two years’ time. Then if you do well, you can study at Queen’s in Charlottetown for a year, and after that you’ll be a teacher!”“That doesn’t matter, Anne. When Matthew and I adopted you three years ago, we decided to look after you as well as we could. Of course we’ll pay for you to study.”So in the afternoons Anne and some of her friends stayed late at school, and Miss Stacy helped them with the special examination work. Diana didn’t want to go to Queen’s, so she went home early, but Gilbert stayed. He and Anne still never spoke and everybody knew that they were enemies, because they both wanted to be first inthe examination. Secretly, Anne was sorry that she and Gilbert weren’t friends, but it was too late now.For two years, Anne studied hard at school. She enjoyed learning, and Miss Stacy was pleased with her. But she didn’t study all the time. In the evenings and at weekends she visited her friends, or walked through the fields with Diana, or sat talking to Matthew.“Your Anne is a big girl now. She’s taller than you,” Rachel Lynde tol d Marilla one day.“You’re right, Rachel!” said Marilla in surprise.“And she’s a very good girl now, isn’t she? She doesn’t get into trouble these days. I’m sure she helps you a lot with the housework, Marilla.”“Yes, I don’t know what I’d do without her,” said Marilla, smiling.“And look at her! Those beautiful grey eyes, and that red-brown hair! You know, Marilla, I thought you and Matthew made a mistake when you adopted her. But now I see I was wrong. You’ve looked after her very well.”“Well, thank you, Rachel,” replied Marilla, pleased.That evening, when Matthew came into the kitchen, he saw that his sister was crying.“What’s the matter?” he asked, surprised. “You haven’t cried since… well, I can’t remember when.”“It’s just… well, I was thinking about Anne,” said Marilla. “I’ll…I’ll miss her when she goes away.”“When she goes to Queen’s, you mean? Yes, but she can come home at weekends, on the train.”“I’ll still miss her,” said Marilla sadly.”In June the Avonlea boys and girls had to go to Charlottetown to take their examinations.“Oh, I do hope that I’ve done well,” Anne told Diana when she arrived back at Green Gables. “The examinations were very difficult. And I’ve got to wait for three weeks before I know! Three weeks! I’ll die!”Anne wanted to do better than Gilbert. But she also wanted to do well for Matthew and Marilla. That was very important to her.Diana was the first to hear the news, she ran into the kitchen at Green Gables and shouted, “Look, Anne! It’s in Father’s newspaper! You’re first… with Gilbert… out of all the students on the island! Oh, how wonderful!” Anne took the paper with shaking hands, and saw her name, at the top of the list of two hundred. She could not speak.“Well, now, I knew it,” said Matthew with a warm smile.“You’ve done well, I must say, Anne,” said Marilla, who was secretly very pleased.For the next three weeks Anne and Marilla were very busy. Anne need new dresses to take to Charlottetown.16. Which of the following statements is true?A. To be a teacher was one of Annes’ dreams.B.

江苏省淮安中学II部2020高三英语第二轮专题复习--任务型阅读
淮安中学II部高三英语第二轮专题复习第一课时任务型阅读指导一、题型考查特点任务型阅读考查的是学生用英语做事、解决实际问题的能力，是典型的语言应用测试。
它要比一般阅读题难度要大些，要求考生在阅读完一段材料后，能比较清楚地把握整篇文章的结构，较好地分析作者的观点和意图，并进行准确的表达。
考生要能够获得直接信息，分析、总结信息，并转换信息，这有利于考查学生把握文章的篇章结构、综合处理信息的能力。
二、高考与考试说明1、2020年是江苏第一次考查任务型阅读，文章较明显体现了一些牛津英语教材中的一些单词。
因为是新题型，出题形式已为广大老师所预估到，有七个单词在原文中可以直接找到，两个稍微变换一下词性，只有第78题case是归纳出来的，所以整体难度不大，考生大多能得8分左右。
2、2020年任务型阅读题的难度有所增加。
文章的主题是交际原则，要点包括：交际始于自我，交际无所不在，交际一旦发生则不可逆转。
该文理论性较强，涉及“交际”和“自我”等抽象概念的理解，文章与题目总词数为711个单词，所设置的10空中有6空可从原文找到或由原文单词进行词形转换即可。
而有4空需从文章整体考虑作出推断和概括才能填空。
试题主要考查关键名词和动词及其词形变化。
3、我们研读《2020年考试说明》中关于“任务型阅读”的要求后，发现题型比去年更明确，题目要求有所提高。
把2020年“根据文中提供的信息用恰当的词语完成与短文相关的图表”改为“根据所读，用恰当的词语补全全文提纲，概括关键内容或作要词词语转换”。
任务型阅读提供了两种示例——表格式和树状式。
题例中要求考生根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意每空一词。
其中在第二示例中特别强调“补全填空应符合语法和搭配要求”。
这些变化要求考生能够顺利读懂文章，并能够掌握文章大意和分析文章结构框架。
同时也要求考生拥有扎实的语法和词汇知识，做到自如应用。
三、解题方法和步骤考生在完成任务型阅读时，要遵循以下步骤。
2020-2021学年淮安中学高三英语二模试题及参考答案
2020-2021学年淮安中学高三英语二模试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ASongkran, ThailandThis festival marks the Thai New Year, which is celebrated in the second week of April. This is the hottest time of the year in Thailand, so it makes sense that the biggest Songkran tradition is to throw water on people. Thais of all ages join in water fights, using buckets, hoses (软管)and water guns to celebrate the event.Boryeong Mud Festival, South KoreaDon't expect to come home clean after experiencing the Boryeong Mud Festival in South Korea. Famous for its mineral-rich mudflats, visitors rush to Boryeong in July to make themselves in mud, swim in grey pools and enjoy the party. There are even mudslides and a mud skiing competition for those who are seeking the extreme mud adventure!La Tomatina, SpainThe festival dates back to a parade in which some naughty teenagers knocked one performer off his stilts (高跷)and caused a fight of throwing vegetables accidentally. It was once banned until 1957 when the locals held a protest with a funeral. They carried a coffin containing a huge tomato as bands played a funeral march. In the following decades, La Tomatina has become a popular event. If you join the event, be aware that you squash (压扁) the tomato before throwing it. Have a great time but avoid causing any injury.Dia de los Muertos, MexicoBeginning at the midnight of October 31 and lasting through November 2,it is a festival when families gather together to remember those loved ones who have died, aiming to help them on their spiritual journey. On these days, Mexican families prepare special tables in their homes. On top of them they'll put photos of the dead and their favorite food. They also visit the graves of their beloved ones to show their respect to the dead.1.If you want to experience a special new year in a country, you can choose to visit ________.A.ThailandB.South KoreaC.SpainD.Mexico2.What may happen to you as a visitor in La Tomatina?A.You can perform stilts.B.Your can play funeral music in bands.C.You may be covered with mud.D.You may be attacked with tomatoes.3.Which festival is similar to the Tomb Sweeping Festival in China?A.Songkran.B.Boryeong Mud Festival. Tomatina.D.Dia de los Muertos.BMany Americans experience surprise (or disappointment) when they wake up on Christmas Day. They might be surprised or disappointed by a family member’s actions. They might be happy or unhappy about a Christmas gift. Imagine a child expects to get an Xbox or PlayStation for Christmas. On Christmas morning, they quickly open their gift. Inside is an English grammar book. They might feel disappointed. The Everyday Grammar team would prefer the new English grammar book. But if you are like most young people, you would probably rather have a new video game.Today, we are going to explore those feelings-feelings of surprise and disappointment. In other words, we are going to explore how speakers show that reality was better or worse than their expectations.Many languages use words to express expectation. Speakers also use words to express how events are not happening as expected. This idea is known as “counter expectation”.Do not worry about the term. Just remember that it means that speakers use words to show that reality is countering their expectations.English has many words that serve this purpose. Three of the most common are the words “even”, “still” and “actually”. You will often hear them in informal, everyday speech. Speakers use these words to show disappointment. The pitch of their voice tells you what they mean. Let’s study examples of each word.Speakers often use the word "even” to show disappointment or surprise. Imagine a young child that expects a phone call from a family member-perhaps an uncle or grandparent. The phone call never comes. The child might say the following: “What’s wrong with him? He didn’t even call me on Christmas day.” Americans sometimes use “still” for showing how reality does not quite meet their expectations: “You’re still here? It’s over! Go home. Go!” Another common word that shows surprise or disappointment is “actually”: “I can’t believe it! Uncle Bob actually stole her Christmas gift.”4. What might most young Americans prefer as a Christmas gift according to paragraph 1?A. A newly made video game.B. An English grammar book.C. A new designed school bag.D. A unique jacket from their parents.5. What does the underlined phrase “counter expectation” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Expression of disappointment.B. Something expected to happen.C. The same with one’s expectation.D. A result against what is expected.6. What do the three words “even”, “still” and “actually” have in common?A. They are easy to understand.B. They express disappointment.C. They show delighted feelings.D. They are used most at Christmas.7. What’s the last paragraph mainly about?A. Expectations from loved ones.B. Different uses of the three words.C. Examples of the use of the three words.D. Emotions of disappointment and surprise.CDogs are often called as “man's best friend”, MacKenzie, a four-pound Chihuahua（吉娃娃）, was named winner of the 2020 American Hero Dog Competition on October 19, 2020.In its tenth year in 2020 the annual contest is the brainchild of American Humane, the country's first national charitable organization founded for the safety and well-being of animals. Often called the “Oscars for dogs”, the award recognizes dogs who make extremely great contributions to society.The competition of 2020 attracted over 400 entries（参赛者）from across the country. These heroic dogs have gone above the call of duty, saving lives, comforting the ill and aged and reminding us of the powerful, age-old ties between animals and people. While all were impressive, it was tiny MacKenzie who wonthe judges' hearts.MacKenzie's growth was not easy. Born with a mouth disability, she had to be fed through a tube（管子）for the first year of her life. Despite her own struggles, she always seemed to think more of other animals in need. “Never have I seen such a will to live. Though sick, she carefully looked after the baby animals at the rescue（救助）center,” said her caretaker.A life-saving operation performed in 2014 gave MacKenzie the ability to eat independently. The seven-year-old chihuahua is now working for the Mia Foundation, an organization that rescues and nurses animals with inborn disabilities. The chihuahua does an excellent job and has raised various animals. She plays nurse, cleans, comforts and hugs them, acting as their mother and teaching them how to socialize, play and have good manners.In addition to her role as an animal caretaker, MacKenzie also visits schools to educate kids about the importance of accepting physical differences in both animals and people. Her heartwarming and inspiring story makes MacKenzie a worthy receiver ofAmerica's top dog honor.8. What can we infer about the American Hero Dog Competition?A. It was first held in 2010B. It was held to honor caretakers of dogs.C. It takes place every ten years.D. It was started by a charitable organization.9. With what quality did MacKenzie win the award?A. Talent and braveryB. Friendliness and care.C. Courage and selflessness.D. Confidence and independence.10. In which aspect can students benefit from MacKenzie's visits?A. Learning from failures.B. Understanding the disabled.C. Valuing physical health.D. Developing practical ability.11. What's the best title for the text?A. Dogs Are Man's Best Friends.B. Treat Dogs the Way We Want to Be Treated.C. Touching Stories between MacKenzie and PeopleD. 2020 American Hero Dog: A TinyChihuahua.DHappiness is not a warm phone, according to anew study exploring the link between young life satisfaction and screen time. The study was led by professor of psychology Jean M. Twenge at San Diego State University (SDSU).To research this link, Twenge, along with colleagues Gabrielle Martin at SDSU and W. Keith Campbell at the University of Georgia, dealt with data from the Monitoring the Future (MtF) study, a nationally representative survey of more than a million U. S. 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-graders. The survey asked students questions about how often they spent time on their Phones, tablets and computers, as well as questions about their face-to-face social interactions and their overall happiness.On average found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices — playing computer games, using social media, texting and video chatting — were less happy than those who invested more time in non-screen activities like sports, reading newspapers and magazines, and face-to-face social interactions."The key to digital media use and happiness is limited use," Twenge said. "Aim to spend no more than two hours a day on digital media, and try to increase the amount of time you spend seeing friends face-to-face and exercising — two activities reliably linked to greater happiness."Looking at historical trends from the same age groups since the 1990s, it's easy to find that the increase of screen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness inU. S.teens. Specifically, young peopled life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012. That's the year when the percentage of Americans who owned a smartphone rose above 50 percent. By far the largest change in teens' lives between 2012 and 2016 was the increase in the amount of time they spent on digital media, and the followingdecline in in-person social activities and sleep.12. Which method did Twenge's team use for the study?A. Calculating students' happiness.B. Asking students certain questions.C. Analyzing data from a survey.D. Doing experiments on screen time.13. How does the author develop the finding of the study in paragraph 3?A. By making a comparison.B. By giving an example.C. By making an argument.D. By introducing a concept.14. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To draw a conclusion from the study.B. To offer some advice to the readers.C. To prove social activities' importance.D. To support the researchers' finding.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Quitting Phones Equals HappinessB. Screen Time Should Be BannedC. Teens' Lives Have Changed SharplyD. Screen-addicted Teens Are Unhappier第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

That is a question that many parents ask themselves. In my opinion, homeschooled kids can give reliable answers.Kayla Murray, who lives inGreensboroNorth Carolina, started homeschooling almost eight years ago, after attending two local schools. “Homeschooling is school at home,” like the name says, but it’s not just that/ she says. “You're able to learn more and do more.”Having experienced learning at both school and home, Kayla says that she prefers the latter. “With homeschooling, I can do schoolwork in my pajamas, and no one cares,” she says, “you also have more chances. Earlier this year, my family and I were able to take a short vacation and go to an air show. My siblings and I get to take the day off for our birthdays. This year, I spent that time reading and playing the piano and guitar.”There are, however,drawbacksof being homeschooled, Kayla says, especially “the lack of people”. While she doesn't miss homework, al school, she did enjoy getting to see my friends every day.”Matthew Dimmette, also fromGreensboro, used to be a homeschooler. He now attends public high school. He says being homeschooled is quite different from going to public school. The differences depend on how you arc homeschooled and the things you do. “For me, it wasn't really different in terms of the classes but the school environment was a big change atter hearting at home. says Matthew.Talking about his homeschooling experience, Matthew says the best part of it was being able to learn whathe wanted to. Yet the main disadvantage was that he couldn't do many experiments in homeschooling unless taking classes at different places. “My interest in science has been growing quickly in recent years, so I chose to go to public school,” he says.4. What does Kayla like about learning at home?A. She can spend her time more freely.B. She can always stay with her siblings.C. She can play the instruments she likes.D. She can celebrate her birthday at home.5. What does the underlined word “drawbacks” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Concerns.B. Reasons.C. Changes.D. Problem.6. Why did Matthew choose to go to public school?A. He wanted to make more friends.B. He wanted to do experiments in labs.C. He wanted to take all kinds of classesD.He wanted to experience the school environment7. What in the authors attitude cowards homeschooling?A. Supportive.B. Doubtful.C. Uninterested.D. Unclear.CThe English language is changing, and you are responsible! Whether we consider changes in grammar, spelling, pronunciation, or the very vocabulary of the language, you have played your part and continue to do so.When we first learned basic grammar and spelling, perhaps in elementary school, we might have gotten the impression that these things were sacred. The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable. While this way might be helpful for teaching children, it is far from accurate.The English language, like many others, is a living, growing, ever-evolving thing. Like it or not, you are involved in this change. These changes take many forms. Grammar and spelling have changed greatly over the years and centuries, with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this. While the language of a thousand years ago might be called English, most of us would hardly recognize it today as the same language.The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words. Many are familiar with the differences between the British and American ways of pronouncing certain words. In addition to these differences, the pronunciation of many words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them. For example, consider the word "err." The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word "her." Older dictionaries show this to be the primary or only pronunciation. However, in recent years, more and more people have been pronouncing it so that it sounds like "air." Another change in the language involves the addition and removal ofwords. The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the English language. Through the centuries, many words have come from other languages. In fact, English has probably done this more than any other language in the world, which is why spelling and pronunciation rules for English have so many exceptions.Of course, many slang words have been just short-lived fashions that have died out quickly. Others, though, have been adopted by mainstream society and become respectable, as have many technical terms. So then remember, the next time you repeat the newest expression to hit the street, or make up your own words, you may be contributing to the future of the English language.8. When we begin to learn English, we think _________.A. it is interesting to pick up a new languageB. English rules are wrongly presented in factC. grammar and spelling rules are unchangeableD. only adults have the ability to affect a language9. From paragraph 3 we can know that_________.A. we can change the English languageB. many languages are changing over yearsC. English has changed little in the past 1,000 yearsD. there were main changes in grammar and pronunciation10. Why is the pronunciation of words changing?A. people speak in different waysB. people have adopted foreign wordsC. it has been affected by American EnglishD. makers of dictionaries often change them11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Foreign words involved in English.B. The British speaks differently from Americans.C. English language is changing over years.D. You can change the English language.DAn anti-obesity program for Australian girls didn’t lead to any improvements in their diet, physical activities or body weight a year later, according to a new report.Findings from the school-based intervention (介入), which involved exercise sessions and nutrition workshops for lower-income girls, are the latest disappointment in a lot of research attempting tohead offadult obesity and the disease risks that come with it.Especially during the middle-and high-school years, girls’ physical activity reduces obviously, according to lead researcher David Lubans, from theUniversityofNewcastleinNew South Wales,Australia. He said, “In the futurewe need to make the programs more interesting and exciting and present information in a way that is meaningful to adolescent girl.”Lubans and his workmates conducted their study in 12 schools in low-income areas ofNew South Wales. At the start of the study, girls in both groups weighed an average of close to 130pounds, with about four in ten considered overweight. Over the next year, adolescents in the intervention group were given pedometers (计步器) to encourage walking and running and invited to nutrition workshops and regular exercise sessions during the schoolday and at lunchtime. Participation in some of those activities were less than ideal. For example, the girls went to only one-quarter of lunchtime exercise sessions, and less than one in ten completed at-home physical activity or nutrition challenges, the researchers reported. At the end of the year, girls in both groups had gained a similar amount of weight and there was no difference in their average body fat.Preventive medicine researcher Robert Klesges said that although some anti-obesity programs have helped adults lose weight, the teen population has always been a source of failure for researchers. “The common belief is: nothing works,” he said. “And we have got to get beyond that.”“We need to think outside the box,” said Klesges, who wasn’t involved in the new study. “That could include learning from what has worked in adult studies, such as giving meal replacement drinks or prepared foods to teens who have trouble making changes to their diet. Or, it could mean using a “step-care” method — rather than researchers or their doctor telling them to keep doing the same thing.” Klesges said.12. The underlined words “head off” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “________”.A. damageB. defendC. preventD. affect13. The methods used in the program to stop obesity don’t include ________.A. walking and runningB. inviting them to nutrition workshopsC. joining exercise sessions regularlyD. giving meal replacement drinks14. The main reason for the failure of the anti-obesity program is probably that ________.A. the participants didn’t take an active part in itB. the program was not interesting and exciting to participantsC. the participants didn’t get extra nutrition or exercise helpD. the program didn’t pay attention to healthy exercise15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. As researchers, it is important to have creative research methods.B. Researchers need to give meals or prepare foods to participants.C. Teen girls have no difficulty in making changes to their diet.D. Some ant-obesity programs have not helped adults lose weight.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Beijing residents say spitting is what they hate most about living in the city．What comes after spitting are dog owners who fail to clear up their pets’excrement （排泄物）．Third on the list of bad practices is not properly disposing of rubbish．The result was released by the Beijing Social Psychology Institute after they recently conducted a survey of 770 randomly selected peopleThe three phenomena that topped the list of uncivilized behavior remained almost the same when they are compared with the survey of one year ago．Nearly 63 percent of those surveyed this month said they often see people spitting in public．However, nearly 27 percent of the residents said that spitting has reduced over the past yean People are happy to see this result．However, spitting in public has become a habit for some The researchers believe that punishment could help reduce some of bad behavior,The residents being surveyed said that publicity and punishment for spitting should be strengthened to make those with the bad habit change．But it still needs more effort from the whole of society and every resident in order to achieve the goal．They find that few people will spit in their own neighborhood 01"their workplace．Spitting at home goes without saying．But on streets and in other public places such as buses and railway stations．spitting is more common．People believe that home and their neighborhood are their own places．In workplaces，people care about what other people think of them as everybody else will know them．But in public places, due to a lack of supervision，some people believe the environment has nothing to do with them． Besides spitting，with the increase in dogs raised as pets in Beijing，many complaints have been received because some dog owners do not clear up their pets’excrement．More than half of the people surveyed said they often saw this happen．They always saw dog excrement on the pass by the sides of streets The dogs have no idea where they should relieve themselves，but why do their owners know nothing about what to d0 with what they leave behind? It is reported that there are more than 1 million pet dogs in Beijing．Other habits that really get on the nerves of the city residents are illegal adverts，out of control passengers on buses or the subways and lovers who show affection in public．However,44 percent of the people believe that the moral standards of Beijing people are still high despite the problems．Only 7 percent of the people said that the moral standards of Beijing people were low．Many people being surveyed believe that local people are more civilized than a year ago． Many local residents said although the moral standards of Beijing people are high compared with those of the people in other cities．there is still a gap between the capital city and some large foreign cities1．In Line l the expression“turn your stomach”, most probably mean．A．to make your stomach aching B．to make you sickC．to make you hungry D．to make you full2．The uncivilized behavior came first on the list of bad habits were ．A．nearly the same as the result of the survey one year agoB．quite different from the result of the survey one year agoC．almost contrary to the result of the survey one year agoD．just remaining exactly the same as the result of the survey one year ago 3．Which of the following is NOT the reason why spitting in public is common?A．People don’t care about other’s opinion as they don’t know each other B．They regard public places as their own home or neighborhoodC．Some people think they have nothing to do with the environment．D．There is no supervision to control people4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Gaps between Bering and Some Big Foreign Cities B．Bad Habit：SpittingC．Uncivilized getting Residents D．Bad Habits Disgust Beijing ResidentsBGland，Switzerland-Rivers on every continent are drying out，threatening severe water shortages，according to a new WWF report．The report，World’s Top Rivers at Risk，released ahead of World Water Day(22 March)，lists the top ten rivers that are fast dying as a result of climate change，pollution and dams．“All the rivets in the report symbolize the current freshwater crisis．which we have been signaling for years，”says WWF Global Freshwater Programme Director Jamie Pittock．”Poor planning and inadequate protection of natural areas mean we cart no longer assume that water will flow forever．Like the climate change crisis，which now has the attention of business and government，we want leaders to take notice of the emergency facing freshwater now not later．”Five of the ten rivers listed in the report are in Asia alone．They are the Yangtze，Mekong, Salween, Ganges and Indus．Europe’s Danube, the Americas’La Plata and Rio Grande/Rio Bravo．Africa’s Nile-Lake Victoria and Australia’s Murray-Darling also make the list.Dams along the Danube River—one of the longest flowing rivers in Europe—have already destroyed 80 per cent of the river basin’wetlands and floodplains．Even without warmer temperatures threatening to melt Himalayan glaciers，the Indus River faces scarcity due to over- extraction for agriculture．Fish populations，the main source of protein and overall life support systems hundreds of thousands of communities worldwide，are also being threatened．The report calls on governments to better protect river flows and water allocations in order to safeguard habitats and people’s livelihoods.“Conservation of rivers and w etlands must be seen as part and parcel of national security, health and economic products that do not use more water than necessary.”In addition, cooperative agreements for managing shared resources, such as the UN Watercourses Convention, must be ratified and given the resources to make them work, says WWF.“The freshwater crisis is bigger than the ten rivers listed in this report but it mirrors the extent to which unabated development is jeopardizing, nature’s ability to meet our growing demands,” says Pittock. “We must change our mindset now or pay the price in the not so distant future.”5. Judging from what Jamie Pittock says, he wants to .A. make readers aware of the serious situation of water shortage.B. warn people not to waster water any longerC. call on leaders to pay attention to the problem promptlyD. analyze the causes of the severe water shortage6. We can easily learn from the passage that .A. the fresh water crisis will be out of control soonB. Asia is facing the most sever challenge of water shortageC. to better protect river flows and water allocations is the only solutionD. fish populations are of vital importance to national economic success7. The underline word “jeopardizing” in the last paragraph can be re placed by .A. destroyingB. improving losing D. stimulatingCSeventeen-year-old Randy Waldron, Jr. was shocked when he applied for his first credit card and was denied. He was even more shocked by the reason: He failed to repay thousands of dollars in debt.Waldron’s identity had been stolen by his father, who left when Randy was learning to walk. Form 1982 to 1999, Randy Waldron, Sr, used his son’s Social Security number to obtain credit from various merchants and lenders, then racked up tens of thousands of dollars in debts. He declared bankruptcy in his son’s name, which resulted in default judgments against the younger Waldron. It has taken Randy Jr. now a 24-year-old flight attended, years to untangle the mess.Waldron i sn’t alone. Identity theft is this country’s fastest-growing crime-and, increasingly, ID thieves are targeting children. Their clean credit and absence of criminal histories make them ideal victims.Linda Foley，co-executive director of the Identity Theft Resource Center in San Diego estimates that at least 400，000 children had their identities stolen in 2005．more than double the number in 2003．Waldron's case is typical: The resource center estimates that two -thirds of child ID thefts are committed by family members．Some dishonest persons use children‘s names and Social Security numbers to ring up massive debts；others use children’s identities in place of their own when caught committing other crimes：still others sell identification information on the black market to illegal immigrants, fellow criminals or even terrorists The theft brings its victims enormous financial and emotional trauma(创伤)，in part because the identity abuse often goes undetected for yearsDealing with child identity theft after it happens is extremely difficult．Laws in many states are insufficient to handle the crime’s complexity, and financial institutions are often less than helpful Randy Waldron，Jr．，has worked tirelessly for eight years to straighten out his credit record，and he continues to deal with the fallout．“It‘s been a very long and arduous battle，”he says．“Recovering my identity was really the absolute hardest part．I think a lot of victims assume the problem will go away．”8．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A．Child Identity Theft B．How to Avoid Identity TheftC．Recover My Identity D．Look o kit for Family Members9. Why do children easily become the targets of identity theft?A. Because they cannot read or write at a young age.B. Because they have empty credit and criminal recordsC. Because they are too young to protect themselvesD. Because identity theft can’t be found in time10. With the help of the child’s identity, the criminals can d0 the following exceptA．obtain credits from various merchants and lendersB．substitute for their own identities when caught committing crimesC．straighten out their own credit recordD．sell identification information on the black market11．It can be inferred from the passage that ．A．New laws should be made to help the identity theft victimsB．Children should never trust their family membersC．Financial institutions should be responsible for the identity theftD．Identity theft is the fastest-growing crime in the country。

淮安中学II部高三英语限时阅读训练（二）阅读理解（共五篇，完成时间：40分钟）AChinese basketball players have never been so close to the NBA before but questions remain about how they will adjust to life in the NBA if they go.Wang Zhizhi, the 2.16-metre center for the Bayi Rockets who was chosen by the Dallas Mavericks two years ago, has finally received permission from authorities to travel to Dallas to play for the rest of the NBA season after he finishes playing in the Chinese Basketball Association’s finals on March 25th.If he has no problems with his visa，Wang will be the NBA’s first Asian player Wang was chosen by the Mavericks in the second round of the 1999 draft but the Rockets, and army-run club, refused to let him go. After negotiationsbetween the Rockets and NBA representatives,the decision was made to allow Wang the chance to try his hand at American basketball, but only for a period of short time. He has to be back to play in the Ninth National Games in November in Guangzhou.Another center who has attracted attention from the NBA is Yao Ming, the 2.25-meter star who has led to the Shanghai Sharks into the finals fight with the Rockets this year. The 20-year-old’s NBA dreams might be harder to realize. Yao is the center of the Sharks and the club’s manager Bei Genyuan has said that he would allow Yao to go only at a proper time, for a proper team and under proper conditions.Yao hasn’t been chosen yet and it is unlikely that he will be any time soon. People in the Shark’s front office earlier told members of the press that “it is not proper for Yao to attend the draft this year” because he has to represent Shanghai in the Ninth National Games.Even if Wang and Yao make it to the promised land of basketball at last, analysts on both sides of the Pacific have said the NBA road will be a long one for both of them. Besides needing to work on their upper body strength, Wang and Yao will also have to adaptto the speed, techniques and above all, culture of the NBA.1.Yao Ming has attracted attention from NBA becauseA. he is 2.25 metres tall, who is the tallest basketball player in ChinaB. he is the center of the Shanghai Sharks and has led Sharks into the final fightwith theRocketsC. he is regarded as the best basketball player in ChinaD. he is thought highly of in the international world2.Yao Ming can play for NBA if .A. there is no problem with agrees to supply favorable conditions for himC. time and conditions are properD.NBA can pay a large sum of money for Sharks3.The underlined phrase “try his hand” in the passage probably meansA.初试身手B.碰碰运气C.成为一员D.为其效劳4.NBA chose Wang Zhizhi so that .C. its whole level will be improvedD. it can make Wang Zhizhi world-famous5.When Wang Zhizhi plays in NBA, he will have to adapt to many things of NBA except .B. the speedC. cultureD. techniquesBThe saying that children don’t like reading any more has been proved untrue.A new study finds that 75 percent of kids between five and 17 say that although they love technology, they still want to read books.“The Kids & Family Reading Report” also says that 62 percent of kids prefer reading printed books rather than those on a computer. At the same time, those who search an author’s website or use the Internet to find books by a particular author, are more likely to read books for fun every day.The study also once again proves that the time kids spend reading books for fun decreases after the age of eight and continues to drop through the teen years. The report is a follow-up to a 2006 study. But this time the focus is on the role of technology and when kids’ interest in reading starts to drop.“Despite the fact that after the age of eight more children go online daily than read for fun daily, high frequency Internet users are more likely to read books for fun every day,” says Heather Carter, a writer of the report.One in four kids between five and 17 say they read books for fun every day and more than half of kids say they read books for fun at least two to three times a week. One of the key reasons kids say they don’t read more often is that they have trouble finding books they like — a requirement that parents underestimate.The study also finds that p arents have a strong influence on kids’ reading, but only about half of all parents begin reading to their kids before their first birthday. The percent of children who are read to every day drops from 38 percent among five-to eight-year-olds to 23 percent among nine-to 11-year-olds — exactly the same time that kids’ daily reading for fun starts to drop.“Parent engagement in their child’s reading from birth all the way through the teen years can have a great influence on how often their children read and how much they enjoy reading,” adds Carter.6. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. In modern society, most kids still like reading.B. Most kids are more likely to read e-books for fun every day.C. Parents have a strong influence on kids’ readingD. Most kids like reading as well as technology.7. It can be inferred from the passage that _____________.A. the study is conducted to find how much time children spend reading every dayB. the older children grow, the little they spend reading every dayC. about half of all parents begin reading to their kids before their first birthdayD. parent engagement in child’s reading can have a great influence on them8. What’s the best title of the passa ge?A. Do kids still like reading?B. Kids’ interest in reading drops.C. New technology on kids’ reading.D. Parents’ influence on kids’ reading.CWhen a handheld video game runs out of power, all you have to do is plug it in andcharge itup. Within a few years, some of you might do the same thing with mom’s car.Automobile companies are developing vehicles that will plug into electric sockets (插座), just like many laptops, digital cameras, cell phones and small video game players do. Called “plug-in hybrids (混合动力汽车),” these cars will get most of their power from electricity. Their drivers will rarely have to stop at gas stations.The technology is more than just cool. In our automobile-filled world, plug-in vehicles could reduce the amount of gasoline we use. That gas is made from crude oil, which has been kept rising in cost. Plus, driving around in these hybrids may even help the environment. Gas-burning cars produce a lot of carbon dioxide, a type of greenhouse gas. These gases stay in the atmosphere, where they trap heat and cause global warming.The first company-produced plug-in hybrids could hit the roads by 20l0. But engineers still have a lot of work to do to make the technology practical and inexpensive.Batteries are the biggest challenge. In the plug-in-hybrid world, Li-ion batteries are getting the most attention. These batteries can store a large amount of energy in a small package, and they last a relatively long time between charges. Li-ion batteries are standard in laptops, cell phones, heart devices and similar portable devices.But because cars are so big and heavy, it would still require a suitcase-sized Li-ion battery to power about l2km of driving. What’s more, the batteries are extremely expensive.“A car filled with batteries could go a long distance,” says Ted Bohn, an electrical engineer in Chicago. “But it couldn’t haul (拖拉) any people, and it would cost $l00,000.”So researchers need to figure out how to make batteries smaller and cheaper, among other questions.“The answers don’t exist yet,” Bohn says. “As a kid I thought someone someplace knows the answer to everything. All of these questions haven’t been decided. That’s what engineering is about —making a guess, running tests and fine-tuning results.”9. The writer wrote this passage with the purpose of __________________.A. how to charge the handheld video game upB. explaining a newly-developed batteryC. introducing a new carD. telling us how to make the new battery cheaper10. Which is true according to the passage?A. Plug-in hybrids will do no harm to the environment.B. Li-lion batteries in laptops can be used on plug-in hybrids.C. Some companies can produce plug-in hybrids now.D. Drivers of plug-in hybrids will spend less money on gasoline.11. From the passage, we can learn _________. A. we can buy one of “plug-in hybrids” nowB. all people will buy one after 20l0C. this kind of car can carry two personsD. some problems about “plug-in hybrids” remain to be don eDName: Off the Beaten PathCover price: $30.00Our price: $l9.80The best-selling Reader’s Digest travel book has 40% new content including over 200 new sites, over 200 new full-color photographs, and all-new, up-to-date maps.

She says you must study for the examinations for Queen’s College in two years’ time. Then if you do well, you can study at Queen’s in Charlottetown for a year, and after that you’ll be a teacher!”“That doesn’t matter, Anne. When Matthew and I adopted you three years ago, we decided to look after you as well as we could. Of course we’ll pay for you to study.”So in the afternoons Anne and some of her friends stayed late at school, and Miss Stacy helped them with the special examination work. Diana didn’t want to go to Queen’s, so she went home early, but Gilbert stayed. He and Anne still never spoke and everybody knew that they were enemies, because they both wanted to be first inthe examination. Secretly, Anne was sorry that she and Gilbert weren’t friends, but it was too late now.For two years, Anne studied hard at school. She enjoyed learning, and Miss Stacy was pleased with her. But she didn’t study all the time. In the evenings and at weekends she visited her friends, or walked through the fields with Diana, or sat talking to Matthew.“Your Anne is a big girl now. She’s taller than you,” Rachel Lynde tol d Marilla one day.“You’re right, Rachel!” said Marilla in surprise.“And she’s a very good girl now, isn’t she? She doesn’t get into trouble these days. I’m sure she helps you a lot with the housework, Marilla.”“Yes, I don’t know what I’d do without her,” said Marilla, smiling.“And look at her! Those beautiful grey eyes, and that red-brown hair! You know, Marilla, I thought you and Matthew made a mistake when you adopted her. But now I see I was wrong. You’ve looked after her very well.”“Well, thank you, Rachel,” replied Marilla, pleased.That evening, when Matthew came into the kitchen, he saw that his sister was crying.“What’s the matter?” he asked, surprised. “You haven’t cried since… well, I can’t remember when.”“It’s just… well, I was thinking about Anne,” said Marilla. “I’ll…I’ll miss her when she goes away.”“When she goes to Queen’s, you mean? Yes, but she can come home at weekends, on the train.”“I’ll still miss her,” said Marilla sadly.”In June the Avonlea boys and girls had to go to Charlottetown to take their examinations.“Oh, I do hope that I’ve done well,” Anne told Diana when she arrived back at Green Gables. “The examinations were very difficult. And I’ve got to wait for three weeks before I know! Three weeks! I’ll die!”Anne wanted to do better than Gilbert. But she also wanted to do well for Matthew and Marilla. That was very important to her.Diana was the first to hear the news, she ran into the kitchen at Green Gables and shouted, “Look, Anne! It’s in Father’s newspaper! You’re first… with Gilbert… out of all the students on the island! Oh, how wonderful!” Anne took the paper with shaking hands, and saw her name, at the top of the list of two hundred. She could not speak.“Well, now, I knew it,” said Matthew with a warm smile.“You’ve done well, I must say, Anne,” said Marilla, who was secretly very pleased.For the next three weeks Anne and Marilla were very busy. Anne need new dresses to take to Charlottetown.16. Which of the following statements is true?A. To be a teacher was one of Annes’ dreams.B.
