每周一测Ⅰ. 阅读理解AMark felt that it was time for him, to take part in his community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work. The area’s city councilwoman (女议员) was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was decreasing. The neighborhood faced many problems.Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls. There are charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant buildings. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman.It was too much for Mark. “The problems are too big,” he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said, “I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here.”Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop. “People should just take care of themselves,” he decided. “That’s enough to do. I can’t take on all the problems of the world.”As he neared the bus stop, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag and a baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but she didn’t have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and the groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy’s arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the grocerie s while the woman smiled in relief. ‘‘Thanks!” she said. “You’ve got great timing!”“Just being neighborly,” Mark said. As he rode home, he glanced at the walls of the bus. On one of them was “Small acts of kindness add up.” Mark smiled and thought, “Maybe that’s a good place to start.”1. It is known from the passage that .A. Mark played an active part in community activitiesB. the city councilwoman was responsible for the falling of life qualityC. visual aids were used to display the seriousness of problemsD. many people were discouraged by the many problems facing them2. In Mark’s opinion, .A. nobody was so able as to solve the problemsB. he was not in the position to solve such problemsC. many people were too selfish to think about othersD. he already had more than enough work to do3. What is the implication of the Words on the bus wall?A. You should be kind to your neighbors and they will treat you the same way.B. Everyone can play his own part to make things better.C. All small acts will add up to kindness.D. It’s a small act to help a person in need.4. The passage is mainly about .A. how individuals can help make a differenceB. running a neighborhood meeting to solve its problemsC. citizens’ reactions t o the problems they faceD. solving problems through group actionBHave you ever wondered why people drive on a different side of the road? It might seem bizarre that U. K. D rivers stay on the left, but they’re not the only ones. Around 35 percent of the world population do the same, including people in Ireland, Japan, and some Caribbean islands.Originally, almost everybody traveled on the left side of the road. However their way of transport was quite different from today: Think about four legs instead of four wheels. For Medieval swordsmen on horseback, it made sense to keep to the left to have their right arms closer to their enemies. Getting on or off was also easier from the left side of the horse, and safer done by the side of the road than in the center.So why did people stop traveling on the left? Things changed in the late 1700s when large wagons (货车) pulled by several pairs of horses were used to transportfarm products in France and the United States. The wagon driver sat behind the left horse, with his right arm free to use his whip to keep the horses moving. Since he was sitting on the left position, he wanted other wagons to pass on his left, so he kept to the right side of the road.The British Government refused to give up their left-hand driving ways, and in 1773 introduced the General Highways Act, which encouraged driving on the left. This was later made law thanks to The Highway Act of 1835.When Henry Ford showed his Model T in 1908, the driver’s seat was on the left, meaning that cars would have to drive on the right hand side of the road to allow front and back passengers to exit the car onto the roadside. However, British drivers remain on the left, and this is highly unlikely to change.5. What does the underlined word “bizarre” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Funny.B. Strange.C. Wrong.D.Difficult6. Why did people riding the horse travel on the left in history?A. It was safer to keep on the leftB. It was easier to carry goods.C. It was easier for them to fightD. It was necessary to control the horse.7. What made drivers of large wagons travel on the right?A. Their sitting position.B. The road conditions.C. The number of horses.D. The products in the wagons.8. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?A. UK Drivers Still Go On The LeftB. Why People Like Sitting On The Left SideC. The History Of Transportation MeansD. The Reasons For Different Driving SidesⅡ. 完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

APicking a destination may be the hardest part of getting ready to study abroad. It’s hard to pick just one to be your home. W e are here to help you narrow it down, with a complete guide t o the top four studying abroad destinations.Number 4: AustraliaAustralia is a country where strong programs seem a bit obvio us based on the location itself. Anything dealing with the envir onment is a natural choice of study, because Australia has su ch a unique climate across the country. You’ll need a student visa to study in Australia. Most universities will send you an of ficial form along with more information about the visa process once you’ve met these requirements.Number 3: ChinaSome fields like business or economics stand out just becaus e of the nature of the country itself as an economic superpow er. Other areas like cultural studies might give you more optio ns to pursue programs that would help you get a better feel of what life is like in less developed areas. You’ll need a visa for any program you decide to do in China. You’ll also need to m ake sure your passport is valid for at least six months after yo ur planned departure date. Be sure to pay attention to differen t entry and exit requirements too if you plan to do any side tra veling to places like HongKong.Number 2: FranceAside from studying the French language, France is a great pl ace for students, who are interested in art, literature, music, hi story, architecture, or a combination of any of the above. If yo u’re planning to be in France for more than 90 days, you’ll nee d a visa. This process can take a long time (think two months or more), so be sure to start early.Number 1: The United KingdomThe UK is home to some of the oldest, most respected univer sities on the planet. You’re almost guaranteed to find an incredible program for any subject you could possibly think of. You’ll need one of two types of visas depending on how long you plan to study there and what you’ll be doing.21.What can we learn from Number 4?A. The weather in Australia is almost the same all year roundB. The location of Australia influences its programs greatlyC. Most universities in Australia can provide visas for foreign studentsD. The development of science in Australia is the rapidest in t he world22. If a foreigner is about to study in China, what should he do ?A. Bring a student visa with himB. Volunteer to work in less developed areasC. Ensure that his passport can be valid at least for the followi ng six monthsD. Apply for a different visa to travel in HongKong.23. Who may be mostly interested in the article?A. Students who plan to study abroad.B. Teachers wh o plan to teach in universities.C. Travelers who plan to visit other countries.D. Studentswho plan to work outside.BWhen the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life，she did what comes naturally. The fouryearold dog set off raci ng after the sheep across several fields and, being a city anim al，lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of a cliff(悬崖) and fell 100 feet，bouncing off a rock into the sea.Her owner Mike Holden panicked and called the coastguard o f Cornwall，who turned up in seconds. Six volunteers slid down the cliff wi th the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive a fter a 90minute search.Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken. Then , one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holden if he would like his dog back.A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting d esperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.The dog had initially been knocked unconscious but had survi ved by drinking water from a fresh stream at the base of the cl iff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also f allen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry,” Stev e Tregear said. “It was a very lucky dog. She survived becaus e of a plentiful supply of fresh water,” he added.It was, as Mr. Holden admitted, “a minor mir acle”．24. The dog Judy fell down the cliff when she was______．A. rescuing her ownerB. caught in a hurricaneC. blocked by a rockD. running after a sheep25. Who spotted Judy after the accident?A. A birdwatcher.B. A student from Leeds.C. Six volunteers.D. The coastguard of Corn wall.26. What can we infer from the text?A. People like to travel with their pets.B. Judy was taken to the fields for hunting.C. Luck plays a vital role in Judy's survival.D. Holden cared little where Judy was buried.27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Miracle of the coastguardB. Surviving a hurricaneC. Dangers in the wildD. Coming back from the de adCWould you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook f rom scratch? Have you been doing internet shopping rather th an going to the stores? What can't you be bothered to do?A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so lazy they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent research ers at Nuffield Health, Britain's largest health charity. The resu lts were astonishing.About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.More than one third of those questioned said they would not r un to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with chi ldren, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them. This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (very fat) before they start school.Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said: " People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for th e sake of their families, friends and evidently their pets too. "If we don't start to take control of this problem, a whole gener ation will become too unfit to perform even the most rudiment ary of tasks."And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the mos t inactive city in the UK, with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing bil lions of pounds every year.28.What causes children in the UK to be obese?A. Eating ready mealB. Watching TVC. Doing Internet shoppingD. Being lazy29.What can be inferred from the passage?A. British people are too lazy to do anything.B. Internet shop ping will do harm to your health.C. Many people would not run to catch a bus in Britain.D. People should be more active and take regular exercise to keep fit.30.Which of the following is Not true according to the passage ?A. One sixth of British people use remote control when watchi ng TV.B. People will benefit not only themselves but their families by getting fit.C. Fatness can cause diseases such as heart disease and ca ncer.D. More people get obesity-related illnesses now than 40 years ago.31.What does the underlined word rudimentary most probably mean?A. basicB. seriousC. vitalD. hardDWhether in the home or the workplace, social robots are goin g to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when so meone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more ap propriately to the user.The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it q uestions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn't just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly famil y member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. The y have potential applications in everything from education to h ealth care and are already finding their way into some of thes e spaces.Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the m arket. The company's “Oshbot” robot is built to assist custome rs in a store, which can help the customers find items and hel p guide them to the product's location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for diff erent items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it l earns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,”said Breazeal.32. How are social robots different from household robots?A. They can control their emotions.B. They ar e more like humans.C. They do the normal housework.D. They respond to users more slowly.33. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?A. Communicate with you and perform operations.B. Answe r your questions and make requests.C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.D. Obey you r orders and remind you to take pills.34. What can Oshbot work as?A. A language teacher.B. A tour guide.C. A shop assistant.D. A private nurse.35.We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ________.A. train employeesB. be our workmatesC. improve tec hnologiesD. take the place of workers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。

每周一测Ⅰ. 阅读理解AAdolescence, t he p eriod o f a c hild’s l ife w hen t hey a re m ost v ulnerable t o o utside influences, is a relatively scary time for parents. Children of this age become the target of many negative influences while at the same time they are experiencing hormones that are raging out of control.But parents should not be fooled by their children’s rejection and rudeness. In fact c hildren e xpect t he c onstant s upport, g uidance, a nd i nfluence f rom t heir p arents.I came from a family where anger always lies just below the surface, waiting for an e xcuse t o e rupt. M y p arents o ften s aid t hat m y s isters a nd I c ould t ell t hem a nything. Though they promised not to be angry at whatever we would say, they couldn’t do it. Without t he e motional s upport f rom m y p arents d uring m y m ost v ulnerable y ears, I o ften found myself losing my temper easily and even doing risky behaviors.There is no certain standard about parenting, but I knew exactly what I should not d o a fter I b ecame a p arent. I k new t he i mportance o f e stablishing o pen c ommunication and trust, which resulted in my proper reactions and my children’s trust.Our home was a quiet place, a shelter for my children’s emotional well-being. My children freely shared with me what happened in their lives, whether good or bad, shocking or humorous. As their mother, I rarely raised my voice and my reactions to their telling about their improper behaviors remained calm, no matter how I felt inside.Parenting I d id w as f ar f rom e asy. I t t ook p atience, p ersistence, a nd c onsistency. Everyone hopes for beautiful relationships w ith their children, and everyone can have them. The theory is simple: trust is the lock—communication is the key.1. What do we know about adolescents according to the text?A. They cannot easily control themselvesB. They are easily influenced by their parentsC. They are eager to communicate with parentsD. They don’t expect parents’ guidance and support2. Which of the following words best describes the author when she was a teenager?A. GentleB. DishonestC. HurtD. Careless3. How did the author gain trust when communicating with her children?A. By making a promiseB. By raising her voiceC. By demanding much of themD. By controlling her reactions4. The text is mainly intended to tell us __________.A. the need of riding anger at homeB. the ways of parenting adolescentsC. the importance of supporting childrenD. the benefit of building good relationships with childrenBA new report said that different types of plants can release some chemical intothe air to help other plants. These chemical warnings all have the same purpose —to spread information about one plant's disease or infestation so other plants can defend themselves. But exactly how plants receive and act on many of these signalsis still mysterious.In this week’s Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers in Japan offered some explanations. They had identified one chemical message and traced it all the way from release to action.The scientists looked at tomato plants infested by a common pest, the cutworm. The researchers studied leaves from exposed and unexposed plants. They found one compound showed up more often in the exposed plants. The substance is called Hex Vic. When the scientists fed Hex Vic to cutworms, it knocked down their survival rate by 17%. The scientists identified the source of Hex Vic, and sprayed it lightly overhealthy plants. Those plants were then able to start producing the cutworm-killing Hex Vic. Researchers confirmed that uninfected plants have to build their own weapons to fight off bugs and disease. How do they know when to play defense? They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors.It is a complex tale, and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes.It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us. Further studies are needed to increase agricultural efficiency.5. Which is the way used by plants to warn their neighbors?A. Using of winds.B. Identifying the chemicals.C. Releasing some chemicals.D. Being exposed early.6. It can be inferred from the text that ________.A. farmers may benefit from the further studiesB. the phenomenon may be happening in less plant species than tomatoesC. there are not chemical signalsD. plants are warned first by their neighbors7. What’s the function of Hex Vic?A. It sprays over healthy plants.B. It shows up more.C. It cures the disease.D. It damages the cutworm’s body.8. The passage is likely to appear in ________.A. a newspaper advertisementB. a physics textbookC. a science magazineD. a finance reportⅡ. 完形填空When I was younger, I was addicted to the stories in magic books, and I thirstily 1them.

CIf you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they b ecome weak．When you start using them again, they slowlybecome strong again．Everybody knows that．Yet many peo ple do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really m eans that he keeps his memory in practice by using it．When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means t hat he does not give it enough chance to become strong．If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault．But if he tells us that he has a poor memor y, many of us think that his parents are to be blamed(责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault.Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they can not read or write and they have to remember things; they can not write them down in a little notebook．They have to remem ber days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the w hole time being exercised．So if you want to have a good me mory, learn from the people: practice remembering.8．Which of the following is right?A．Your arms or your legs will become weak when you use th em.B．Your memory works in the same way as your arms and leC．Everybody knows that memory works in the same way as their arms and legs.D．Your memory can’t become strong again when you use th em again.9．If you want to have a good memory, you must_________.

每周一测Ⅰ. 阅读理解AMark felt that it was time for him, to take part in his community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work. The area’s city councilwoman (女议员) was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was decreasing. The neighborhood faced many problems.Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls. There are charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant buildings. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman.It was too much for Mark. “The problems are too big,” he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said, “I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here.”Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop. “People should just take care of themselves,” he decided. “That’s enough to do. I can’t take on all the problems of the world.”As he neared the bus stop, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag and a baby. She was trying to unlo ck her car, but she didn’t have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and the groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy’s arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. ‘‘Thanks!” she said. “You’ve got great timing!”“Just being neighborly,” Mark said. As he rode home, he glanced at the walls of the bus. On one of them was “Small acts of kindness add up.” Mark smiled and thought, “Maybe that’s a good place to start.”1. It is known from the passage that .A. Mark played an active part in community activitiesB. the city councilwoman was responsible for the falling of life qualityC. visual aids were used to display the seriousness of problemsD. many people were discouraged by the many problems facing them2. In Mark’s opinion, .A. nobody was so able as to solve the problemsB. he was not in the position to solve such problemsC. many people were too selfish to think about othersD. he already had more than enough work to do3. What is the implication of the Words on the bus wall?A. You should be kind to your neighbors and they will treat you the same way.B. Everyone can play his own part to make things better.C. All small acts will add up to kindness.D. It’s a small act to help a person in need.4. The passage is mainly about .A. how individuals can help make a differenceB. running a neighborhood meeting to solve its problemsC. citizens’ reactions to the problems they faceD. solving problems through group actionBHave you ever wondered why people drive on a different side of the road? It might seem bizarre that U. K. D rivers stay on the left, but they’re not the only ones. Around 35 percent of the world population do the same, including people in Ireland, Japan, and some Caribbean islands.Originally, almost everybody traveled on the left side of the road. However their way of transport was quite different from today: Think about four legs instead of four wheels. For Medieval swordsmen on horseback, it made sense to keep to the left to have their right arms closer to their enemies. Getting on or off was also easier from the left side of the horse, and safer done by the side of the road than in the center.So why did people stop traveling on the left? Things changed in the late 1700s when large wagons (货车) pulled by several pairs of horses were used to transportfarm products in France and the United States. The wagon driver sat behind the left horse, with his right arm free to use his whip to keep the horses moving. Since he was sitting on the left position, he wanted other wagons to pass on his left, so he kept to the right side of the road.The British Government refused to give up their left-hand driving ways, and in 1773 introduced the General Highways Act, which encouraged driving on the left. This was later made law thanks to The Highway Act of 1835.When Henry Fo rd showed his Model T in 1908, the driver’s seat was on the left, meaning that cars would have to drive on the right hand side of the road to allow front and back passengers to exit the car onto the roadside. However, British drivers remain on the left, and this is highly unlikely to change.5. What does the underlined word “bizarre” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Funny.B. Strange.C. Wrong.D.Difficult6. Why did people riding the horse travel on the left in history?A. It was safer to keep on the leftB. It was easier to carry goods.C. It was easier for them to fightD. It was necessary to control the horse.7. What made drivers of large wagons travel on the right?A. Their sitting position.B. The road conditions.C. The number of horses.D. The products in the wagons.8. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?A. UK Drivers Still Go On The LeftB. Why People Like Sitting On The Left SideC. The History Of Transportation MeansD. The Reasons For Different Driving SidesⅡ. 完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
