ADo you like shopping? Or does the thought of wandering around the shops fill you with terror?For some of us, shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me, it’s something I would rather avoid. Thank goodness for the Internet! It’s more convenient to buy CDs, electrical items, even food from the comfort of your sofa. But that’s not the only reason: price is an important factor. We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy. This has led to a type of shopping called “showrooming”.Showrooming is something I’ve done. I will go to a shop to see, touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock-down price. I’m not alone in doing this. Research by a company called Foolproof, found 24% of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013.Amy Cashman, head of Technology at TNS UK, says the reasons for this new shopping habit ar e that “people are lacking time, lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying ”. She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around.But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change. They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in-store discounts or free gifts.We mustn’t forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare. It’s good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen, but at least by showrooming, you get the best of both worlds!1. The two questions in Paragraph 1 are raised to ________________.A. introduce the topicB. give two examplesC. compare different opinionsD. get answers from readers2. According to Amy Cashman, which is not the reason for showrooming?A. The lack of time.B. The comfort of the sofa.C. The shortness of money.D. The security of the product.3. The author’s attitude towards showrooming is __________________.A. criticalB. neutralC. casualD. supportiveBThere is a very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander the Great, King of Greek. Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence. So, he lay helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, “I will depart from this world soon, and I have three wishes. Please carry them out without fail.”“My first desire is that,” said Alexander, “My physicians alone must carry my coffin.” After a pause, he continued, “Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be spread with gold,silver and precious stones which I have collected.”The king continued, “My third and last wish is that both my hands should be kept hanging out of my coffin.” Alexander’s favourite general kissed his hand and pressed it to his heart. “Oh, King, we assure you t hat your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?”Alexander took a deep breath and said, “I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt. I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure any bodies. They are powerlessgranted.”“The second wish of spreading gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a bit of gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people realize that it is just a waste of time to chase wealth.”“And about my third wish of having my hands hanging out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty-handed into this world and empty-handed out of this world.” With these words, the King closed his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last.4. The first paragraph suggests that Alexander ________________.A. wanted to leave the world as he came empty-handedB. realized that what he got in his life was nothing to him at allC. was spending a lot time conquering many kingdoms and had earned a great amount of wealthD. regarded his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth as the most important things5. The underlined word “clutches” in Paragraph 4 means “___________”.A. sentenceB. attentionC. controlD. shadow6. The author intends to ________________.A. tell us the story of AlexanderB. stress the power of Alexander the GreatC. persuade people to realized what Alexander saidD. introduce readers to the instructive lessons of Alexander7. What would be the best title of the passage?A. The Death of AlexanderB. The Greed of AlexanderC. Three wishes of AlexanderD. The Life of AlexanderCA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops.Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility （清晰度）. But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word which the professors said.In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers’ report said, “While more notes are benefi cial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.” In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrotenotes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.8. More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can ____________.A. write more notesB. digest concepts betterC. get higher scoresD. understand lecture better9. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be ________________.A. skillfulB. tirelessC. thoughtfulD. mindless10. The author of the passage aims to _________________.A. examine the importance of long-term memoryB. stress the benefit of taking notes by handC. explain the process of taking notesD. promote the use of laptops11. The passage is likely to appear in _________________.A. a finance reportB. a computer textbookC. a science magazineD. a newspaper advertisementDIf you don’t think technology can improve your trip, meet Judy Williams. When she and her husband recently checked into Blu Hotel in Zurich, a clerk asked themto sign the dotted line on a room rate hundreds of dollars higher than their online offer.“It was not a cheap stay,” says Williams, a lawyer from Billings, Mont. But it became more of one after her husband fired up the app he’d used to book their room on his smartphone.“As soon as we showed him the cost, he honored it,” Williams says.Technology may create challenge s for travelers but it can also solve them. It’s more than making sure of a hotel cost. The latest can help users select hotels by location, make a secure booking and view the confirmed (已确认的) cost so they never need to re-discuss their hotel price.Another pain point for travelers is traffic that eats away precious vacation time. There’s a new app called Commute which is aimed at users who have to make the same trip every day. But if you’re headed to Los Angeles or Honolulu, where visitor s can easily get stuck in hours of heavy traffic, Commute can help.Just input basic information about your destination and expected leaving time, and the app will start sending you traffic information 15 minutes before you leave. Testing Commute proved to be a challenge for me, because my home address is about 900 miles from my place of work. But if you have only a short distance to travel through a heavily populated area, you can use Commute to avoid traffic jams.Another source of travel-re lated problems is money. That’s particularly true when you’re dealing with a foreign currency. The latest Travel Money Tracker helps travelers prevent currency mix-ups. It immediately changes a country’s native currency to yours, so you know exactly how much that Espresso (浓咖啡) in Milan costs in dollars. It can also warn you when you’re overspending, which can sometimes be a problem when you’re on vacation. The only catch, of course, is that you have to remember to record all your purchases.Taken together, these apps solve some of the most common travel problems. But not all of them. Some things, no smartphone can fix, which means I get to keep my job – for now at least.12. What does the writer want to tell through the example of Judy Williams?A. The cost of Blu Hotel was higher than that of others.B. The clerk was very friendly and patient.C. The smartphones have many functions.D. Technology can make our trips better.13. Commute is not suitable for those who_______________.A. have a long journeyB. go on the same trip every dayC. can easily get stuck in traffic jamsD. travel a short distance downtown14. What is the function of Travel Money Tracker?A. It tells people how much Espresso costs.B. It warns people when they are shopping.C. It changes the native currency to yours.D. It records all people’s purchases.15. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To encourage people to travel.B. To introduce some new apps.C. To help people with technology problems.D. To provide people with traveling information.第二节（共5 小题；每小题2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ACreating a truly unique experience, the world’s original Ice Music Festival returns for its 11th year form the 21-24Januaray 2016.Constructed and formed from naturally harvested ice and snow, the Festival is a tribute to art, the environment and one of the worlds’ most vital resources – water. Frozen water.Ice music pioneer Terje Isungset is the founder of the Ice Music Festival, which is an annual celebration of music and expression performed by specially invited artists.

The Rv7 is a national tourist route. You can also follow the Rv 0 over the mountains from west to east with the scenery between Aurland and Hol particularly magnificent. From Hol, it’s another 10 km to Geilo.AirThere is no direct air link to Geilo, but all carriers connect with Oslo’s 3 airports.So seek out your warmest clothing, pack your bags and join us in Geilo for 3 nights of wonderful music.

Designed by James Ramsey, owner of Raad Studio, and Dan Barasch, the project will transform theabandoned space into a new, futuristic city landmark tided the Lowline.Ramsey planned to use solar technology in the site, creating an environment where plant life could grow underground. Joined to the JMZ Essex subway stop, the park will not only be an entertaining attraction, it will also become a part of passengers’lives. Much like the High Line built in Manhattan on an elevated (高出地面的) section of abandoned New York Central Railroad in the Lower West Side, the park will combine the natural elements of the park with industrial aspects already available in the city.The solar collecting system in the Lowline will catch sunlight above ground, transfer it underground and distribute it around the park via reflective domes (穹顶). The light enables plants and trees to grow. During periods of sunlight, electricity would not be necessary to light the space. In 2012, the Lowline team exhibited this technology in an abandoned warehouse in the Lower East Side, available for the public and press to view so that proof of its ability could be confirmed. Since then, many city officials have shown their support of the concept and several programs have been conducted to involve youth and young designers into the park’s creation.Though the negotiations of the park creation have not been completed and it will likely not be available for citizens to enjoy until around 2020, the inventive idea will bring a dynamic new attraction to the city. It will not only create a new escape from the industrial noise, but also introduce the concept of parks and plant growth being made possible in the most unlikely places.4. What is the similarity between the High Line and Lowline?A. Offering convenience only for passengers.B. Planting the same types of plant life.C. Making full advantage of solar technology.D. Turning industrial wasteland into green space.5. Which is true of the future Lowline?A. It’s an exciting trolley station.B. It’s a long-term open exhibition.C. It’s a solar-powered underground park.D. It’s a city landmark above the ground.6. Why did the Lowline team hold the exhibition?A. To conduct some programs.B. To prove the technology works.C. To win support from volunteers.D. To show the warehouse is useful.7. What’s the author’s attitude towards the concept of the Lowline?A. Optimistic.B. UnconcernedC. OpposedD. Doubtful.CWhy doesn’t the unemployment rate ever reach zero? Economists, who generally believe that supply tends to meet demand, have long thought about this question. Even in good times, i.e. not now, there are people who can’t find work. And even in bad times, i.e. now, there are job openings. With over 14 million people out of work and looking for a job, you would think every available job would be filled. But that’s not the case. Not now and not ever.On Monday, the Nobel Prize committee awarded the prize for economics to the three scholars who have done the most to explain this phenomenon. Two of the winners are Americans, Peter Diamond of MIT and Dale Mortensen of Northwestern. The third winner is Christopher Pissarides, who teaches at the London School of Economics and was born on Cyprus.Like most of economists, what they have found about why the jobless and ready-employers don’t find each other seems obvious. You have to find out there is job opening you are interested in. Employers need to get resumes. It takes a while for both employers and employees to make the decision that this is what they want. And these guys came up with a framework to study the problem of why people stay unemployed longer than they should and what can be done about it.So what would today’s Nobel Prize winners do to solve the current problem of the unemployed? And does the awarding of the prize contribute to the politicians’ lowering joblessness?Speaking from his north London home, Pissarides told The Associa ted Press the announcement came as “a complete surprise” though his work had already helped shape thinking on both sides of the Atlantic.For example, the New Deal for Young People, a British government policy aimed at getting 18-24-year-olds back on the job market after long periods of unemployment, “It is very much based on our work,” he said.“One of the key things we found is that it is important to make sure that people do not stay unemployed too long so they don’t lose their feel for the labor force,” Pissarides told reporters in London. “The ways of dealing with this need not be expensive training –it could be as simple as providing work experience.”8. According to the writer, which is true about finding jobs?A. It is always difficult to find a job.B. Everyone can find a job in good times.C. Contrary to popular belief, it is easier to find a job in bad times.D. It is possible to find a job even in times as bad as now.9. What is it that lead to their winning the prize?A. They have found the reason for unemployment.B. They have put forward a set of ideas to deal with unemployment.C. They have found out why people don’t want to be employed.D. They have long studied the problem of unemployment.10. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Pissarides thinks his work surprising.B. The work of Pissarides has influenced many economists.C. Some of the winners’ idea have been put into practice.D. It is probable that unemployed young peop le in Britain benefit from Pissarides’ work.11. What is effective in dealing with unemployment according to Pissarides?A. Spending large sums of money on training.B. Teaching some knowledge of economics.C. Providing work experience.D. Keeping people unemployed for some time.DUnder new rules posted by the Civil Aviation (航空) administration of China on Friday, pilots will have to pass a “level four”test of Mandarin Chinese, China’s official language. Those who speak with an accent that “often impedes” comprehension will not pass. These rules take effect in January 2016.China’s 56 ethnic groups speak more than 80 languages and dialects. Even native Mandarin speakers can have trouble communicating with each other depending on the strength of their accents, which can be mutually unintelligible (难理解的).One flight trainer illustrated the scope for linguistic confusion, especially when common English aviation terms are used. Asked if there is a problem on board, a Chinese pilot might answer in the negative with the words mei you, or “there isn’t. But someone speaking with a heavy Sichuan accent would pronounce mei yo u as “May day”– unconsciously parroting the universally recognized distress call (遇难信号).Like their international counterparts (对应物), Chinese aviators have developed codes to avoid confusion resulting from homonyms (同音异义字) or near-homonyms. They use the terms yao for one and guai for seven, which are otherwise pronounced yi and qi respectively and easily confused.The new rule could affect all pilots, who must renew their license every six years, and adds to a growing list of burdens for the profession.12. What does the underlined word “impedes” in Para 1 mean?A. improvesB. helpsC. misunderstandsD. limits13. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Sichuan dialect has the contrary meaning to Mandarin.B. Native Mandarin speakers can understand each other well.C. It isn’t necessary for a pilot to pass the test before January 2016.D. “May day” is a distress call in our everyday life.14. What is the purpose of the Chinese aviators using the terms yao for one and guai for seven?A. To avoid confusion.B. To communicate with their international counterparts.C. To pass the test.D. To avoid their accents.15. What is the best title for the passage?A. Chinese Pilots Told to Get Rid of Regional Accents.B. Chinese Pilots.C. Rich Chinese Languages.D. Hard to Be a Chinese Pilot.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AAfter two years of careful consideration, Robert McCrum has reached a conclusion on his selection of the 100 greatest novels written in English. Take a look at a few in his list. The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan (1678)A story of a man in search of truth told with the simple clarity and beauty of Bunyan's prose makes this the English classic.Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe (1719)By the end of the 19th century, no book in English literary history had enjoyed more editions and translations. This world-famous novel is a complex literature that one cannot resistGulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift (1726)A great work tha t’s been repeatedly printed, Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels comes third in our list of the best novels written in English.Clarissa by Samuel Richardson (1748)Clarissa is a tragic heroine, pressured by her dishonorable family to marry a wealthy man she dislikes, in the book that Samuel Johnson described as “the first book in the world that shows the knowledge about the human heart.”Tom Jones by Henry Fielding (1749)Tom Jones is a classic English novel that gets the spirit of its age and whose characters are well-known since they have come to represent the society at that time.Emma by Jane Austen (1816)Jane Austen's Emma is her most outstanding work, mixing the best parts of her early books with a deep sense of feelings.The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe (1838)Edgar Allan Poe’s only novel - a classic adventure storywith supernatural elements - has fascinated and influenced generations of writers.21. Which English book has got the most translations before the 20th century?A. Robinson CrusoeB. Gulliver^ TravelsC. Tom JonesD. Emma22. What does Samuel Johnson think we can learn about from the book Clarissa'?A. A love story.B. Quarrels in a family.C. The human heart.D. The spirits of the time.23. What makes the characters in Tom Jones famous?A. Their classic life styles.B. Their different nationalities.C. Their typical spirits of the age.D. Their representation of the society.BLakshmi grew up in India in the first half of thetwentieth century, seeing many people around her who did not get enough food, were often sick and died young.In the 1960s, she was asked to help manage a program to improve nutrition in her country. At that time, most advice on nutrition came from North American and European countries. Nutritionists suggested foods that were common and worked well for people who lived in these nations.For example, they told poor Indian women to eat more meat and eggs and drink more orange juice. But Lakshmi knew this advice was useless in a country such as India. People there didn't eat such foods. They weren't easy to find. And for the poor, such foods were too expensive.Lakshmi knew that for the program to work, it had to fit Indian culture. So she decided to adjust the nutrition program. She first found out what healthy middle class people in India ate. She took note of the nutrients (营养物）available in those foods. Then she looked for cheap, easy-to-find foods that would provide the same nutrients.She created a balanced diet of locally grown fruits,vegetables, and grains. These foods were cheap and could be cooked with simple equipment. Her ideas were thought unusual in the 1960s. For example, she insisted that a diet without meat could provide all major nutrients. Now we know she was right. But it took her continuous efforts to get others to finally accept her diet about 50 years ago. Because of Lakshmi's program, Indian children almost doubled their food intake. And many children who would have been hungry and ill grew healthy and strong.24. Why did Lakshmi think European nutritionists, advice was useless?A. It worked well for European people.B. It suggested too many foods for Indians.C. It was not practical in India that time.D. It included foods that didn't exist in India.25. Lakshmi studied healthy middle class people's diet in order to .A. know about their eating habitsB. learn about Indian cultureC. find out nutrients in their foodD. write a report on food nutrients26. Lakshmi's balanced diet was considered unusual because people thought _________.A. those foods were too cheapB. it should include some meatC. it provided all major nutrientsD. it enabled kids to grow healthy27. What can we infer about Lakshmi?A. She came from a rich family.B. She disliked middle class people.C. She worked with European nutritionists.D. She was a determined scientist.CThe times are changing. On Thursday October 13th, singer-songwriter Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, marking the first time the highly-eyed-on literary award has gone to someone who is mainly seen as a musician, and giving rise to heated discussions.The 75-year-old won the prize "'for having created newpoetic expressions within the great American song tradition,” the Swedish Academy said.“For 54 years he has been at it, reinventing himself,” said Sara Danius, the academy’s perman ent secretary. “Bob Dylan writes poetry for the ear. But it’s perfectly fine to read his works as poetry.”And while many Dylan fans have found great delight atover fiction writers for the second year.New York Times Book Review editor Pamela Paul said it was good news but pointed out how many “deserving” novelists there are.Director Martin Scorsese put out a statement saying he was “ove r joyed” that Dylan was awarded the prize.“Dylan’s poetry, his musical genius, has meant so much to me personally and to generations of people around the world," Scorsese said. “His work has influenced and shaped culture, and he has never stopped exploring and growing as an artist. The Nobel Committee has given Dylan aform of recognition that fits his role in our culture — in world culture.”Dylan won a Pulitzer Prize in 2008 for his “great influence on popular music and American culture.” He, s the first American to win the literary Nobel since Toni Morrison in 1993.28.

Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part in Paragraph 4?A. are thankful toB. are satisfied withC. are angry withD. are worried about30. What can we know about Dylan according to Martin Scorsese?A. Dylan influences Martin a lot.B. Dylan is happy with the award.C. Dylan is a poet rather than a musician.D. Dylan benefits a lot from world culture.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. A brief introduction to Bob Dylan.B. The reason for Bob Dylan’s success.C. Bob Dylans influence on American culture.D. Different views on Bob Dylan’s award.DExposed soil isn’t part of nature’s master plan. Good examples where soil is naturally found with no plants growing in are beneath freshly removed trees, or where the ground has been burnt by a land fire. In these situations bare soil isn’t bare for long; within days seedlings(芽)begin to appear and cover the ground In a few months’ time, the scar is hardly noticeable.Unlike these natural examples, ploughed (耕犁）fields and freshly dug gardens are obvious examples created by man. But, left to nature, even these bare soils soon turn green with a large number of tiny seedlings. In fields, gardens and on grasslands, roadside and sports fields alongstreets and on paths and pavements, we are constantly battling to stop weeds from growing. All we are doing is stopping the recovering powers of nature.Whenever soil is exposed, weeds act like a kind of medicine to reduce the potentially rays sun, so sooner growth covers the soil over again, the better.Weeds also help to improve the fertility (肥沃）of the soil. Their roots get the soil together, improving its structure and creating a more stable environment in which soil life can grow fast. Those weeds with a deep root draw up plant nutrients from deeper in the ground, making them available to plants growing near the soil surface. Above ground, the stems (茎) of weeds help trap fallen leaves which break down into the soil, adding to the fertility of the soil.As the soil becomes more fertile, different kinds of plants start to replace the “pioneering” weeds. Bushes move in to take the place by gradually shading them out, followed in turn by trees, which eventually push up through the bushes, finally shading them out too. Fallen leaves from the bushes and trees carry on the job of building soil fertility that wasbegun by those very first weeds that grew on the bare soil. Then, when one of these mature trees is removed in a storm, leaving a wound of bare soil in the earth, the whole process starts again.32. When will soil be left bare?A. A land fire has just happened.B. A young tree is planted in.C. No one ploughs the land.D. No crops are planted in.33. Which of the following prevents the bare soil from recovering?A. Seedlings appearing in gardens.B. Reducing harmful rays of sun.C. Removing weeds from pavements.D. Replacing plants in sports fields.34. What can weeds do for the soil?A. They create soil life.B. They help improve the soil.C. They get nutrients from the sun.D. They breakdown fallen leaves.35. How can the soil remain fertile after trees move in?A. By adding more weeds to the soil.B. By taking out the weeds constantly.C. By removing the previous bushes.D. By making use of the fallen leaves.第二节（共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

高明一中2016-2017学年度第二学期高一英语周测试题（一）2017-2-25第一部分阅读理解（满分40分）第一节（共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分）AIf you’re holding a kids’ party or a family friendly event, then you need Nick Clark. My daughter and her friends love his shows. At birthday parties and at places like Fishers Farm —wherever he performs you’ll find a happy group of children. Hugely talented and reasonably priced, you couldn’t wish to meet a nicer man.Vicky Edwards Nick once very kindly offered his service for a charity event for free. I haveto say, he did a truly wonderful job! Not only did Nick have the little ones laughing but greatly attracted the ‘grown ups’. I was blown away by how good he was.Lizzie FowlerDear Nick,Just a short note to say thank you for the excellent child ren’s party yesterday.It can be a bit of a worry for us mums when we are suddenly in charge of (负责)30 small children. Thank you for keeping them happy for 2 hours. Lola loved it although she wasn’t at her best as she has been unwell since last Thursday. A very good time was had by all.Mrs MiddletonDear Nick,Thank you for a fantastic night on Friday. The children enjoyed themselves and the disco was considered as the best school disco at Lavant School ever. When I went into school this morning it was filled with exciting talks about last Friday night and how fantastic it was for both children and teachers. Thanks again for the party and all your hard work.Katie21. What kind of feeling is expressed by the use of “blown away”?A. Joy.B. Pride.C. Pity.D. Thankfulness.22. Last Friday, the children at Lavant School _____.A. talked about the best school disco excitedlyB. enjoyed themselves without their teachersC. had a fantastic day offD. had a great party23. What does Nick do?A. He’s a funny performer.B. He’s a school teacher.C. He’s a party holder.D. He’s a story teller.BMost children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. Some are shy "in real life" but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship problems, or problems at home.Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as cheating or arguments. Going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the Internet to do bad things. Children must know that there are both the good things and the dangers on the Internet.To keep children safe your management must cover the family computer. Just as you decide which TV programs are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chatrooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers and there are dangers too.Computer studies are part of schoolwork now, so it's likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the interactive areas of websites, like chatrooms and message boards, which are especially strange. The language of chat is strange to many parents, too. Chatters love to use abbreviations (缩写) such as: atb--all the best, bbfn--bye bye for now, culSer—see you later, gr8--great, Idk--I don't know, imbl--it must be love, kit--keep in touch, paw--parents are watching, lol-- laugh out loud, xlnt--excellent!It seems like another language, and it is!24. The passage is meant forA. childrenB. teachersC. parentsD. Net bar owners25. In order to keep children safe online, you'd betterA. not allow them to use the InternetB. surf the Internet together with themC. teach them to use correct Net wordsD. choose suitable websites and chatrooms for them26. If you stand beside him when your son is chatting about something secret online, he may useA. bbfnB. 1ol C cul8er D. paw27. Which of the following will the author probably agree with?A. The chat language is strange to adults.B. The Internet is not good for children.C. Children can chat so much online.D. The Internet is a good place for children.CDoes this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well,the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, you are communicating quite fluently, but: Listening is STILL a problem! First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. The first step is to find listening resources. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from . The RealPlayer allows youto use the Internet like a radio station.Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (懊恼) by limited understanding. What should you do?Here is some of the advice I give my students:●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.●Stay relaxed when you do not understand — even if you continue not to understand for a long time.●Do not translate what you hear into your native language.●Listen for the general idea of the conversation. Don’t concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas.I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two very important facts. Firstly, translating creates a wall between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that — even if I didn’t pay much attention, I could usually understand what the speaker had said.28. The best way to improve our listening is to _____.A. practise as much as possibleB. find as many listening resources as possibleC. use the Internet like a radio stationD. speak naturally and read as much as possible29. Which of the following is a good habit when listening?A. Try to understand everything.B. Try to get the main ideas.C. Pay much attention to details.D. Translate each word in your mind.30. Why did the writer mention his / her experience in Germany?A. To prove the importance of translating.B. To show the problems of speaking a foreign language.C. To tell us the importance of staying calm.D. To point out an ineffective method of listening.31. The underlined part “a wall”in the last paragraph refers to “_____”.A. a communication barrier (障碍)B. culture shockC. language understandingD. a little misunderstandingDSome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances(环境) don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction(沉溺), and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to recei ve any rewards. Consistent(经常的), hard work won’t guarantee(保证) you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become rally good at whatever it is you put all that work into.32. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about__________.A. the reasons for successB. the meaning of successC. the standards(标准) of successD. the importance of success33. In paragraph 2, the underlined word that refers to__________.A. being good at somethingB. setting a practical goalC. putting in more timeD. succeeding in life34. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because_____________.A. work makes one feel painB. one tends to enjoy his workC. one gives up his work easilyD. it takes a lot of time to succeed35. What is the main theme (主题）of the passage?A. Having a goal is vital(重要的) to success.B. Being good is different from being great.C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
