In our everyday lives we meet situations in which we take many things for granted. We only treasure things when they are gone. This is a sad truth of human nature. One day, I found myself as a witness to a similar situation.One evening, I left work and boarded the train. After entering, I noticed something unusual. The center of the car had a few empty seats while both ends were crowde d with people standing. I didn’t pay much attention and sat down on one of the empty seats. I sensed a funny smell. It was n’t long before I noticed a homeless person sleeping on three seats in front of me. He was bleeding from his nose. Why wasn’t anyone helping him?His clothes were torn and he was giving off a strange smell. Along with the smell, his eyes were dull, watery, and red. Occasionally he scratched himself and people looked at him as if he had committed a crime. As the train stopped at stations and more people came in they covered their noses and faced away from him. All the seats around him were empty.Suddenly, he began to swear at the people around him. A plainclothes police officer who looked like a construction worker took out his certificate and showed it to the homeless man. The officer, not wanting to touch the homeless man, told him his rights and directed him to exit the train. As the officer walked the man out of the train, the homeless man turned around and said “MY HOME!” and started crying.A man doesn’t value things until they are gone. If he didn’t have a home, at least he had freedom. Now he has neither. No one wants to help someone who won’t help himself.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

As is known to us all, many teen celebrities(名人) feel and think that having a slimmer figure can do great good to them. But, does size really matter? Are teenage fans trying hard to become like their celebrity idols(偶像)? Do celebrities really have the power to influence people, especially teenagers?For the longest time, many parents blame teen idols for influencing the way their kids act. Have you noticed how teens idolize the celebrities these days? Even, their personal affairs are being followed by kids these days. Take for example the case of Lindsay Lohan and Mary Kate Ashley. They are definitely famous teen stars. But, since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business, their health and body suffer. Many kids are aware of this problem. But they are easily influenced by these celebrities to exercise and eat less.It is a fact that the media, and especially famous teen celebrities, can influence people powerfully. But teenagers are easily influenced because teenage years are the period when our personality and identity developments take place. Teens watching TV shows and reading magazines are easily pulled into the dieting and harmful eating habits because the media have some ways to pull these acts. They use thin models and celebrities to endorse(做广告宣传) products or to star in anup-and-coming shows or movies. With fierce competition, celebrities are forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that come their way.Living in today’s time and generation is a bit disturbing to a lot of parents. Media, especially as well as the celebrities, have a very powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad. It’s good that we can control ourselves to avoid bad thi ngs from happening. If not, parents should really be aware and guide their teens to determine what’s in and what’s out.【文章大意】本文主要讲述青少年如何受偶像的影响以及偶像们也受青少年的影响这种社会现象, 以此警示家长们正确利用偶像对孩子们的影响。

is good,you can leave 10% of 9.the bill for them.We can go hiking while you 10.are_staying(stay) here.Even though British humour maybe makes you amazed,the majority of British people are friendly.Ⅰ.阅读理解ABooks have great power.Between their pages,readers can be transported to anywhere imaginable and become just about anyone...or anything.Unfort unately,many children all over the world don’t have access to books!For several years till now,Maria Keller,a 14-year-old girl from Minneapolis,Minnesota,has been changing that fact.When she was 8 years old,Maria already loved reading.She also noticed that some of her classmates didn’t read as much as she did.When she asked her mother why that could be,her mother said that they might not be able to afford books.Maria had never thought of this.She could not believe that some children might not have bedtime stories read to them.She became determined to change this.With her mother’s help,Maria created Read Indeed.Read Indeed is a non-profit organization aiming to collect and distribute books to children in need.During the early stages of Read Indeed,Maria set the goal to collect and distribute 1 million books by the time she is 18.It didn’t take that long for her to reach that goal!Today,at age 14,she has collected over 1.8 million books and has shipped them to many statesand countries around the world.She s ays,“I cannot live without books.As I continue my mission (使命),I have learned that the number of kids who have no books is in the hundreds of millions.So I just can’t give up,even after reaching my original goal of 1 million books distributed.”She’s recen tly set a new goal:to distribute books to kids in need in every state in the United States,and every country in the world.She keeps track of her progress on a large map at the warehouse where she stores and sorts books.Maria believes that she can get support from even more people!1.What had Maria never thought of before she was eight?A.Some of her classmates had no textbooks.B.Some of her classmates didn’t like reading.C.Some children had no money to buy books.D.Some children couldn’t afford to go to s chool.2.What can we know about Read Indeed from Paragraph 3?A.It raises money to buy books for children.B.It is a company which sells books to kids.C.It collects and gives books to poor children.D.It is a program which encourages kids to read.3.Maria’s original dream .A.has been achieved in advanceB.will be realized when she is 18C.will be realized in a few monthsD.was achieved when she turned 144.Which word can best describe Maria?A.Smart.B.Optimistic.C.Determined.D.Courageous.B(2016·石家庄质检二)If you watch British television on March 15,you might be surprised to see celebrities (名人) wearing funny red noses and joking around.But don’t worry.They’re not mad.It’s all part of a money raising event called Red Nose Day.Founded in 1985 by two British comedians,the aim of the event is to raise money to fight povertyand injustice in the UK and Africa.Celebrities and public figures support the event by making appearances on comic TV shows.For example,David Cameron once appeared in a music video by One Direction,which the band produced for the event.Britons don’t just raise money for charitable causes on one day a year,but they do it all year round.One way of doing so is by shopping in charity shops.These small shops sell clothes,books and household goods j ust like any other shop except that they’re all second-hand.There are nearly 10,000 charity shops in the UK.Their business model is simple:anybody who has things they don’t want anymore can donate them to a charity shop,where they are checked for damage,cleaned and priced.The money that is made by selling them is used for a charitable cause.The idea of buying used clothes may sound unpleasant,but for shoppers who have less spending money,it has been a welcome option.Now,shopping at charity shops is also becoming popular with young people looking for alternative fashion.“You can find very unique clothes for a very cheap price.It doesn’t bother me that other people may have worn them.I simply wash them before I wear them,”said Anne Marie,a 19-year-old girl from the US.So next time you spot a charity shop,why not go inside?Who knows,you might find a lovely dress for just a few pounds.Even better,you can enjoy wearing it in the knowledge that your money helpeda good cause.5.Why did Cameron appear in One Dire ction’s music video?A.To earn a living.B.To support the band.C.To help raise money.D.To entertain the audience.6.Where are the goods of charity shops from?A.Local bands.B.People’s donation.C.British comedians.D.The UK government.7.What’s Anne Marie’s attitude to charity shops?A.Favorable.B.Particular.C.Doubtful.D.Disapproving.8.What is the text mainly about?A.Red Nose Day.B.British celebrities.C.Charity in Britain.D.Second-hand shops.CBees play a vital role in the world.Unfortunately,bees are dying by the second.The main purpose of bees is to make honey.Honey, shockingly,does not exist for human consumption;it is essential to the insects.Honeybees store honey in their hives (蜂箱)in order for the bees to have energy for their flight muscles and for heating the hives during the winter period.They collect pollen(花粉)which supplies protein for young bees to grow.According to National Honey Board,the increased production and quality of agricultural crops as a result of honeybee pollination are valued at more than $14.6 billion per year.These insects are responsible for over 70 of the fruits and vegetables we eat today,including apples,grapes,coffee, beans,and broccoli.So if they are so valuable to agriculture,why do they keep dying off?A key suspect seems to be pesticides(农药).Honeybees who are exposed to pesticides result in the damage to their neurological(神经系统的)functions, specifically memory or behavior.And that's why the majority of worker bees disappear and leave behind a queen,plenty of food and a few nurse bees to care for the remaining immature bees and the queen.There are several other causes of the decline of bees,including the destruction of natural habitats,like woodlands,forests,and other habitats for bees.Climate change is also a factor in the decline of the wild bee population.Actually,there are a variety of methods to help the bee population grow.One way is to start your own organic garden by planting beefriendly plants.Pesticides are u sed in both industrial practices and even in your home,so it is best to find organic seeds and weed killers.1.Why do honeybees store honey in their hives?A.To provide enough honey for humans to consume.B.To draw protein out of honey for young bees.C.To help attract other insects and make hives stronger.D.To strengthen bee muscles and heat hives in winter.2.Apples and beans are mentioned in the third paragraph to show that ________.A.bees supply human beings with basic foodB.bees mainly live on these agricultural cropsC.bees are of great importance to fruits and vegetablesD.bees can bring in more money for farmers every year3.What is most likely to cause the worker bees to leave their hives behind?A.The lack of food.B.The abuse of pesticides.C.The fighting among bees.D.The destruction of the habitats.4.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A.Another way to save bees.B.Other tips for choosing seeds.C.More methods to plant green organic fruits.D.Causes of the decline in the wild bee population.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

Unit 4 Sharing李仕才一、阅读理解When I recently revealed to my friends, colleagues, and family members that I would be moving my family to Israel, the reactions were numerous and varied. Some people said it was an expected thing while others asked: Why now? What will you do?For me, making the move to Israel is the fulfillment of a dream that has lasted for my 47 years of life. I have always known that Israel is my home. Over the years Israel has been in my heart, but I have found a number of reasons to put off making it my permanent residence: kids, the economy, education...you name an excuse, and at some point I have probably used it.Truthfully, I believe that I was always just a little bit scared. And of course I still am, with the fear factor that is reported by the press surrounding the Israeli military and economy. However, it has come to the point when I have realized that for over 2 000 years we yearned for this land, and for 47 years I have denied the opportunity to make it my home. I am finally ready to fully grasp this opportunity.Over the years, I have always loved visiting Israel. I have traveled there with my family, and enjoyed introducing thousands of travelers to the country. All of these things that I have come to love about Israel as a tourist are because I get to love my home. And as far as waiting for the "perfect" condition under which to make aliyah, I believe the time is now!I have been asked many times if I am nervous about moving to Israel. Before I answer, I remember that we have overcome the Greeks, the Romans, the Russian killings, Hitler and the Holocaust(大屠杀), and the armies of seven countries.How can I not feel confident that I, and my family, will overcome any difficulties that may come our way? I am not worrying, complaining, crying, or fearing as I prepare to make aliyah. I am proud and excited to say that I am fulfilling a 47-year-old dream;I am going home.1.What does the author want to say in the passage?A. His dream is to come true after 47 years.B. It is a dilemma for him to return to Israel.C. He didn’t live a happy life in Israel.D. It is a latest trend to fulfill everyone’s dream.2.The author didn’t return to Israel before because .A. his children mainly held him backB. he failed to get determinedC. he didn’t save enough moneyD. he hoped to finish his education3.What does the underlined part "make aliyah" mean in the passage?A. To return to Israel.B. To make a decision.C. To live happily.D. To catch a chance.4.It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the author will be happy to meet his relatives in IsraelB. Israel is a familiar word but a strange place for the authorC. the Israeli suffered a lot in the historyD. Israel is still a place between war and chaos【文章大意】本文是一篇讲述个人经历的记叙文。

(2018·河南实验中学模拟)At the end of every year, Time picks the best 25 inventions t hat are “making the world better and smarter”. Here we have picked three of this year’s inventions that could be a part of your life in the near future.The levitating(悬浮的) light bulbThis special light bulb was invented by U.S. artist and scientist Simon Morris. He got the idea of making a light bulb float from hoverboards(悬浮滑板), which he used to dream of having as a kid.But the floating is not the most amazing part. The rejection force between the opposite ends of the magnets(磁铁), which were put in the bottom of the bulb and in the wooden base, does the job. What’s new here is a technology called induction(电磁感应). It allows the light bulb to get power from the base even they are not in contact.Shoes that tie themselvesThey’re not what you think—shoelaces that tie themselves in the way we tie them. Instead, the new shoes have small motors that control their laces. When you step into them, your feet will hit a sensor(传感器) in the shoes and the motor will automatically tighten the laces.But the shoes weren’t just designed for lazy people’s needs. They could actually give athletes an advantage during competition. They are also useful for people who cannot move their arms or fingers easily.The no touch thermometer(体温计)Taking your body temperature usually means putting a thermometer in your armpits(腋窝) and staying still for minutes. It may be easy for you, but it’s an impossible task for little kids.Now, with the new thermometer, users can simply put it 2.5 centimeters from a patient’s forehead and press the button, and it can get reading in two seconds.【解题导语】每到年终岁尾,《时代周刊》都会评选出25项“让世界变得更加美好和智能”的最佳发明。
本文介绍了其中的三项发明。
1.The most amazing aspect of the levitating light bulb is that ___________ .A.it can floatB.its inventor is more than a scientistC.it makes use of the rejection force between the opposite ends of the magnets D.induction allows it to get power even when unconnected with the baseD 解析:细节理解题。
根据The levitating(悬浮的)light bulb部分最后两句可知,悬浮灯泡最神奇的地方是这项电磁感应技术可以让灯泡不用接触底座就能通电。
故选D项。
2.How is the no touch thermometer different from other ones?A.It makes it eas ier to take kids’ temperature.B.You need wait two minutes for the reading.C.You don’t need to press the button.D.It should be put in one’s armpit.A 解析:推理判断题。
根据The no touch thermometer(体温计)部分可知,这种新型的体温计可以不用紧贴皮肤,而且读取数据的时间也很短。
且这个发明让儿童的体温测量变得更容易了。
故选A项。
3.In which part of a newspaper can you possibly read this text? A.Education. B.Sports.C.Science. D.Entertainment.C 解析:推理判断题。
