高一阅读限时测验姓名：______（A）While students in Hainan are quite used to clear skies, Beijing teenagers are not so lucky. As another warm winter approaches, the city can expect the normal clouds of smoke caused by air pollution.But things could start to get better soon. The government is co-operating with a US-based environmental protection agency to update existing buses and trucks with clean fuel technology. The new technology could reduce air pollutants in existing diesel vehicles （柴油机） by 40 per cent. The programme will begin by testing buses in Beijing to see if the technology can be applied to them.“ Weencourage the development of public transportation. But at the same time we need to reduce pollution from them, ” said an official.Efforts are being made to improve the capital ' s environment with tighter controls 排放m）issions （Some heavily polluting factories and construction sites, such as those owned by the steel giant Shougang Group, have been asked to cut production in November and December or be closed.Beijing was the third polluted city in the world at the end of last century, according to the UN. But thanks to recent measures, the capital has made some progress. Last year 224 clear days were rated as having good air quality. In 1998 the air quality index （指数） gave just 100 days as good.“I am glad to see an improvement, ” said a Senior 1 boy living in the northwest of Beijing.to other places, the air quality of Beijing is still worrying though. I hate the pollution. Once I was riding my bike in the morning when I almost had a traffic accident because I couldn ' tasyeferoamcar only metrme in frog. ”In early October, the skies were covered by such a thick fog that a display show by the visiting French air force was called off.Rapid development, industry, traffic fumes （烟） and sandstorms from the desert all contribute to the city ' s bad air.1. The passage is mainly about ______ ?A. a programme to improve Beijing ' s air qualityB. progress made in Beijing ' s air qualityC. Beijing ' s air pollutionD. the difference between Hainan and Beijing2. Which of the following is not the measure taken or to be taken to improve Beijing 'A. Clean fuel technology will be used in public transportation.B. Some factories have been asked to cut production.C. Some construction sites have been told to be closed.D. A display show of airplanes has been called off.3. We can infer from the passage that, with the aim of being an ecological （生态的） city by the 2008Olympics, _______ .A. far more still needs to be doneB. nothing else needs to be doneC. all traffic has to be closedD. the development of the city has to be slowed down4. Which is not correct according to the passage?A. Beijing ' s air quality is getting worse and worse.B. Development, industry, traffic fumes and sandstorms are all the causes of bad air quality.C. Clouds of smoke in the sky is the common feature in the winter of Beijing.D. The government is making every effort to stop air pollution.（B）Everyone has good days and bad days.Sometimes, you feel as if you ' re on top of the world. But occasionally you feel horrible, and you lose things and you cannot focus on your schoolwork.For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem （自尊） is the key to success. Now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable or more upset when you fail at something.“ Forgetabout self-esteem, ”says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist （心理学家） at the University of Michigan, US. “It 's not the important thing. ”Feeling goodCrocker 's advice may sound a bit strange because it is good to feel good about yourself.Studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be depressed, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem.But, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florida State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person.He believes that violent and wicked people often have the highest self-esteem of all. He also said: “ There 's no evidence that kids with high s-e lsfteem do better in school. ”ProblemsAll types of people have problems. People with high self-esteem can have big egos （自我） that can make them less likeable to their peers（同龄人）,said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at Columbia University.People with high self-esteem tend to think more of themselves, Vohs says. People with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.What to doResearchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive ways to contribute to society. If you fail at something try to learn from the experience. 药方“） iTshtoe rbeecsotgthneizreapy （your faults, ” Vohs says. “It 's OK to say, ‘I'm not so good at that, ' and then move on.5. The new research comes to the conclusion that high self-esteem ______ .A. is not important at allB. has taken on a different meaningC. may not be the key to successD. does not help you do better at school6. One of the conclusions of the new research is that ______ .A. feeling good about oneself doesn 't mean you lead a happier lifeB. people with high esteem usually do not seek other s help 'C. people with high esteem tend to be proudD. people with low esteem are often more popular7. The underlined part “a better person ” in the passage probably means a person who is ___________A. helpful and supportiveB. gentle and modestC. likable and successfulD. friendly and kind8. From the text, we can infer the best therapy mentioned in the last paragraph is mainly for peopleA. with high self-esteemB. with low self-esteemC. of all kindsD. who are focusing on building self-esteem（C）The physicians in a hospital form the center of medical staff. But they could not provide effective medical care to their patients without the help of numerous other medical employees. From the viewpoint of the patients, the nursing staff is particularly important. Nurses are usually in close contact with patients as long as they are in the hospital.A nurse does not study for as many years as a doctor. however, each must be equally dedicated. Caring for sick persons requires a great deal of patience and concern. Most nurses work long days, and they often must work at odd hours or during the night.Under the supervision （监管） of the head nurse, the nursing staff must provide nursing services on a 24-hour basis and attend to patients ' needs. This responsibility continues around a th n e d c s lo o ckn,ursesmust work in shifts. A shift is a period of duty, usually eight in length. The nurses on the ward rotate their shifts. Some take turns working night duty; others work odd shifts.A nurse must always be alert. She can never afford to be careless. This is true in all nursing situation, but it is especially true in the intensive care unit. Patients under intensive care are critically ill, and they must be monitored at all times. The nurses who do intensive care duty have one of the most demanding jobs in the hospital.Serving as a nurse can be a very rewarding job. But it is not an easy one. Not every person is suited to become a nurse. Only very dedicated people have chosen nursing as a profession.9. The nursing staff _______ .A. are central to the medical staffB. play an important role in caring for patientsC. can work effectively without physiciansD. are always in close contact with the patients10. Why don 't nurses study for as many years as doctors?A. They don 't treat patients for illness anduirnyj.B. Most nurses work long days.C. Caring for sick patients requires patience and concern.D. They are not dedicated.11. Nurses work in shifts because ______ .A. they are careless.B. nursing services must be provided continuously.C. they work at night from time to time.D. a shift is usually eight hours long.12. What kind of person is suited to become a nurse?A. A very careful person.B. An able person.C. A very dedicated person.D. A specially trained person.（D）A “ losttribe ”that reached America from Australia may have been the first Native Americans, according to a new theory.If proved by DNA evidence, the theory will break long established beliefs about the southerly migration of people who entered America across the Bering Strait, found it empty and occupied it.On this theory rests the belief of Native Americans to have been the first true Americans. They would be classified to the ranks of escapee, beaten to the New World by Aboriginals （土著人） in boats.To a European, this may seem like an academic argument, but to Americans it is a philosophical question about identity, Silvia Gonzales, of Liverpool University said .Her claims are based on skeletons found in the California Peninsula of Mexico that have skulls quite unlike the broad Mongolian features of Native Americans. These narrow-skulled people have more in common with southern Asians, Aboriginal Australians and people of the South Pacific Region.The bones, stored at the National Museum of Anthropology （人类学） in Mexico City, have been carbon-dated and one is 12,700 years old, which places it several thousand years before the arrival of people from the North. “ Wethink there were several migration waves into the Americas at different times by different huma n groups, ” Dr. Gonzales said. “The timing, route and point of origin of the first colonization of the Americas remains a most contentious topic in human evolution. ”But comparisons based on skull shape are not considered conclusive by anthropologists, so a team of Mexican and British scientists, backed by the Natural Environment Research Council, has also attempted to take out DNA from the bones. Dr. Gonzales declined yesterday to say exactly what the results were, as they need to be checked, but indicated that they were consistent（—致）with an Australian origin.13. It is generally considered that the first Native Americans came from ______ .A. North AsiaB. AustraliaC. South PacificD. South Asia14. The skeletons found in the California Peninsula of Mexico have ______ .A. the broad skull shapeB. the narrow skull shapeC. different features of Aboriginal AustraliansD. the same features of Native Americans15. The underlined “ contentious ” is similar in meaning to “ _______________________ ”.A. likely to cause great interestB. difficult to solveC. well-known to allD. likely to cause argument16. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. Research on skulls can draw an exact conclusion.B. DNA tests have proved the fact that the first Native Americans came from Australian.C. Scientists are still not sure about the origin of the Native Americans.D. People began to enter America across the Bering Strait about 12,700 years ago.(E)Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami(海啸),adding weight to ideas they possess a “sixth sense ” for disasters, experts said on Thursday.Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island 's coast seemingly missed wild beastsh, wnoit dead animals found.“No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit I. think animals can sense disaster. They havea sixth sense. They know when things are happening, H”.D.

But it has not been proven, said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behaviour specialist at Johannesburg Zoo.“There have been no specific studies because you can 't really test it in a lab or field setting,Other authorities agreed with this conclusion.“Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain phenomenon, especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters, Clive ”Waslkaeidr, who has written several books on African wildlife.Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators(食肉动物).The idea of an animal “sixth sense ” is a lasting one that the evidence on Sri Lankalikely to add to.17.

Unit2阅读拓展练习2-高一英语牛津译林版(2020)必修第二册
译林版必修第二册unit2阅读拓展练习2Ⅰ.阅读理解AJackie Rodriguez put on a lot of weight after her first child was born.Then，when her daughter was two，she dropped all the weight with practically no effort.“I wasn’t using any fat burners or shakes...nothing，” she says.The change had nothing to do with what Rodriguez ate.Rather，it began when she started a new job that shook up her daily routine.Working in the office of a DJ company near her apartment，she started her work at 5∶30 pm.Instead of sharing dinner with her husband at nine，she ate alone at five and went to work.Night work often leads to weight gain，so Rodriguez’s story might seem to be a quirk.But unlike many such workers Rodriguez clocked out by 11 pm and got a regular night’s sleep.Perhaps even more important，she didn’t eat at work or when she got home—just showered and went to bed.Her main change was moving dinnertime almost four hours earlier.That single，simple change seems to have caused Rodriguez’s weight loss—and scientific research may explain why.In labs around the world，researchers are developing a completely new understanding of how our bodies work.It seems that our bodies process food fastest when it’s eaten during daylight hours.“That latenight bowl of ice cream may all go toward your waist(腰)，”says UCLA neuroscientist Christopher Colwell.Just look at Satchidananda Panda’s mice.Panda，a biologist，is a leading expert on how the timing of food eating affects health.His team has found that mice that eat only during their active hours are healthier and thinner than mice that eat the same food over 24 hours.Encouragingly，when unhealthy mice are allowed to eat only during their daytime，the condition of those having some diseases such as diabetes improves.“It’s likely that we can help treat some diseases just by changing when people eat，” Panda says.1．How did Jackie Rodriguez lose her weight?A．By working late daily.B．By changing her dinnertime.C．By eating a certain kind of food.D．By having dinner with her family.2．The underlined word “quirk” in Paragraph 3 means something .A．strange B．possibleC．interesting D．necessary3．What does Christopher Colwell think of a latenight bowl of ice cream?A．It can hardly affect our health.B．It will cause us to put on weight.C．It will affect how our bodies work.D．It can be processed fast by our bodies.4．What happens when some mice’s daily routines are changed?A．They eat less.B．They get a disease.C．They are more active.D．They become healthier.答案BABDBSome years ago，a 28yearold Californian wife and mother of three children died from drinking too much water.Her body was found in her home shortly after she took part in a waterdrinking contest that was held by a local radio show.Called “Hold Your Wee For A Wii”，the contest organizers promised a free Wii video game machine to those who drank the most water without going to the bathroom.The woman who died drank about 2 gallons of water during the contest.When she and other participants complained of discomfort and showed signs of pains，they were laughed at by the organizers.This tragic news story shows the importance of understanding why drinking too much water can be dangerous to your health.Consuming more water than you need can increase your total blood volume(容量)．And since your blood volume exists within a closed system，increasing your blood volume puts unnecessary stress on your heart and blood vessels(血管)．Your kidneys(肾) must work overtime to get rid of extra water out of your system.Your kidneys are not a pair of pipes.Flushing more water through your kidneys doesn’t necessarily help it become cleaner.Rather，your kidneys can get damaged by unnecessary wear and tear over time.And drowning your system with large amounts of water is one of many potential causes of kidney damage.Putting unnecessary stress on your system and your kidneys by consuming unnecessary water is an unnoticeable process.For the average person，it is usually impossible to know that this stress exists，as there are usually no obvious symptoms on a momenttomoment basis.But make no mistake about it: this stress is real and can hurt your health over the long term.5．Why is the Californian woman mentioned?A．To lead to the topic of the text.B．To tell us a tragic news story about a mother.C．To tell us it can be dangerous to take part in contests.D．To tell us how much water we can drink at most one time.6．When the participants showed signs of pains，the organizers .A．became very concernedB．were laughed at by othersC．tried to reduce their painsD．didn’t pay much attention to them7．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?A．How water is consumed in our body.B．The importance of water to our health.C．Why drinking too much water is dangerous.D．The function of kidneys in consuming water.8．The stress caused by consuming unnecessary water .A．isn’t that dangerousB．can never be found outC．is really harmful in the long runD．leads to some obvious symptoms答案ADCCⅡ.完形填空Bill bounced(拍)

浙大附中丁兰2020学年第二学期高一英语限时练第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑In my hometown, Oklahoma, the dirt goes everywhere. When my sister, Faye, and I walk to school, we cover our mouths so we don’t breathe in the dirt. Mama says all the dust is due to the drought.Last Sunday, there was no dirt in the air, only bright spring sunshine and a clear blue sky. After church, Papa went to the field to check on the cattle while Mama started dinner. Faye and I played in the yard. Then the temperature suddenly dropped, and Mama shouted from the house, “Iris, you and Faye get inside, real quick now!”I looked to the west and saw a huge black cloud of dust. “Faye, go with Mama!” I shouted. “I will warn Papa.” Faye ran towa rd the house. The storm hit so fast that the day turned into night in an instant. Covering my face with one hand, I struggled my way toward our family car and got in. Papa was still out there! I needed to help him find the car. I turned on the front lights, but would Papa see them in the thick darkness? I pushed the horn(喇叭) again and again, hoping Papa would hear it.Suddenly, to my great surprise and relief, Papa’s face appeared at the window. He opened the door and climbed onto the seat next to me. Af ter Papa shut off the car’s lights, we huddled together in the darkness for hours. I worried the dirt would bury us.Finally, the wind subsided and the dust began to settle. We got out and reached the front porch just as Mama and Faye came out from the house.“I’m safe thanks to Iris,” Papa said. “The car’s horn led me to shelter.”“I’m so proud of you,” Mama said to me.Tears of joy streamed down my dirty cheeks because our family had survived the horrible storm.21. When the storm struck, Iris went to the car to_______.A. direct her papa to shelterB. turn to her papa for helpC. warn her papa of the stormD. pick up her papa in the field22. The underlined word “subsided” paragraph probably mean________.A. got upB. died downC. went onD. came along23. What is the best title for the text?A. Love for PapaB. Rescue on black SundayC. Drought in Oklahoma.D. Papa trapped in the stormBI’m not so sure I like my friends any more. I used to lik e them--to be honest. We’d have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange emails, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came Facebook, and I was introduced to a sad fact. Many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook. No longer hidden, they’re thrown in my face like TV commercials-unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you’d find him warm, and self-effacing(谦逊的). Read his Facebook and you’ll realize he’s an unbearable, food-obsessed boring man. He’d pause to have cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man-and then write about it.Take Andy. You won’t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he’s a CEO without a company to run. So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook. He’s doing well-level 731. Thanks to Facebook, I know he’s playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you’ve run four companies-and this is how you spend your downtime? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job?Take Liz. She is positive that the flu vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find, so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Facebook and once on Twitter.In real life, I don’t see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They’re nice, smart people. But face to Facebook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong.I’m left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine mad woman on Facebook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he’s at a party and the wine isn’t u p to his standards?24. What’s Andy probably busy in doing now?A. He’s running his company.B. He’s playing golf all day.C. He’s looking for another job.D. He’s playing computer games.25. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “________”.A. a dilemmaB. my real friendC. FacebookD. Twitter26. The text is developed mainly by________.A. giving examplesB. following the time orderC. listing figuresD. raising questionsCWriting articles about films for The Front Page was my first proper job. Before then I had done bits of reviewing novels for other newspapers, films for a magazine and anything I was asked to do for the radio. That was how I met Tom Seaton, the first arts editor of The Front Page, who had written for television. He employed me, but Tom was not primarily a reporter, or he would certainly have been more careful in choosing his staff.At first, his idea was that team of critics(评论家) should take care of the art forms that didn’t require specialized(专业的) knowledge: books, TV, theatre, film and radio. There would be a weekly lunch at which we would make our choices from the artistic material that Tom had decided we should cover though there would also be guests to make the atmosphere sociable.Tom’s original plan for team of critics for the arts never took off. It was a good idea, but we didn’t get together as planned and so everything was done by phone. It turned out, too, that the general public out there preferred to connect a reviewer with a single subject area, and so I chose film. Without Tom’s beginning push, though, we would hardly have come up with the present arrangement, by which I write a weekly piece, usually on one film.This way of working suits me well. I wouldn’t have been interested in the more standard film critic’s role, which includes considering every film that comes out. That’s a routine(惯例)that would make me bored in no time at all. The space I am given allows me to broaden my argument——or forces me, in an uninteresting week, to make something out of nothing. But what is my role in the public scene? I think that people should choose what films to go to on the basis of the stars, the publicity or the director. There is also such a thing as loyalty(忠诚) to “type” or its opposite. It can only rarely happen that someone who hates westerns buys a ticket for on after reading a review, or a love story addict avoids a romantic film because of what the papers say.So if a film review isn’t really a consumer guide, what is it? I certainly don’t feel I have a responsibility to “right” about a movie. Nor do think there should be a certain number of “great” and “bad” films each year. All I have to do is put forward an argument. I’m not a judge, and nor would I want to be. 27. What can we learn about Tom Senton from the first paragraph?A. He encouraged the author to become a writer.B. He had worked in various media.C. He met the author when working for television.D. He prefers to employ people that he knows.28. Why were the weekly lunches planned?A. To help the writers get to know each other.B. To carry out the work that had to be done.C. To provide an informal information meeting.D. To entertain important visitors from the arts.29. What can be i nferred from paragraph 4 about the author’s articles?A. They are seldom read by readers.B. They are more persuasive than expected.C. They are ignored by stars and film directors.D. They have little effect on public viewing habits.30. What does the author think of his work?A. He should distinguish good films from bad ones.B.

Reading for Fun 英语时文阅读第二期Reading for FunPassage1Big praise for ‘Bao’奥斯卡最佳动画短片《包宝宝》，体会中国妈妈浓浓的母爱。
词数327 建议阅读时间7分钟A bowl of soymilk (豆浆) and somebaozi, or steamed buns, is a typical Chinesebreakfast. Who would have thought that thissimple meal would become a leadingcharacter in a movie, and even win an Oscar?On Feb 25, Disney-Pixar’s short film Bao took home this year’s Academy Award for Best Animated Short. In the movie, a small steamed bun springs to life and becomes the child of a lonely Chinese woman.Domee Shi, Pixar’s first female Chinese-Canadian director, was inspired by her own mother. When Shi grew up, she was always working outside the home. Shi spent little time with her mother, which made her reflect on their relationship.“My mom would often hold me close and say, ‘I wish I could put you back in my stomach so I knew exactly where you were at all times,’” Shi told US-based media Thrillist.Bao explores the themes of empty nest syndrome (空巢综合症), emotional attachment (情感依恋) and the effects of being an overprotective parent in the movie, The Hollywood Reporter noted.In the film, many details show the way the Chinese woman loves her “son”. She prepares feasts, cleans up the house carefully and always buys “him” fr esh pastries(点心). These details are true to the strong and protective love of Chinese parents for their children.But as Bao grows up, he wants to have his own life. He plays out late with his friend, refusing to come home at his curfew (晚上必须回家的时间). He knows that there is a big world out there, but can’t cut his mother’s apron strings (摆脱控制).In Bao, the children of immigrants actually also love their parents, but because they have to fit in with the culture, they sometimes ignore their parents’ pa in.So, how should children like this show their parents that they love them? In her acceptance speech, Shi had a message for all children: “out there who hide behind their sketchbooks (写生簿), don’t be afraid to tell your stories to the world”.Passage2Taking back my life词数361 建议阅读时间7分钟I received a private message on Facebook. It began harmlessly enough: “Hey, girl. Wanted to invite you to join my next challenge group –we’ll be focusing on fitting in 30 minutes o f exercise and balanced nutrition.”It was all becoming too much. Facebook was running my life, not me.But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call.“Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval (认可). I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example.Before Facebook, surfing the internet was an occasional distraction (使人消遣的事) and I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls.To recreate the simplicity (质朴) of those days and set a healthier example for my son, I deactivated my Facebook account.I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, s o I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting (针织). I started taking yoga classes.I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends w ho will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year.I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present in the moment.The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life.After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media al lows me to keep in touch with family far and wide. I look in on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates.It is not an addiction any more.Choose the best answer:1. What was the author’s life like before?A. She enjoyed reading in her free time.B. She spent much time on social media.C. She didn’t get along well with her son.D. She didn’t care what others thought of her.2. The underlined word “deactivate” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “______”.A. closeB. updateC. keepD. check3. What did the author do to change her life?A. She went to the gym as often as she could.B. She developed some healthy habits.C. She tried to make money for her holidays.D. She traveled around a lot for a year.4. What did the author think of the break from Facebook?A. It was good for her eyes.B. It stopped her getting news.C. It distanced her from her friends.D. It gave her time to find beauty in life.5. What is the author’s attitude toward social media?A. Critical.B. Supportive.C. Objective.D. Indifferent.I. A first lookDoes the author believe that we should stop using social media?II.

For those using English keyboards, "QWERTY", was popular. Likewise, "AZERTY" scored with people with European keyboards.Five percent of the stolen passwords were names of television shows or stars popular with young people like "hannah," inspired by singer Hannah Montana. "Pokemon," "Matrix," and "Ironman" were others.The word "password," or easy to guess variations like "password1," accounted for four percent.Three percent of the passwords expressed attitudes like "I don't care," "Whatever," "Yes" or "No."There were sentimental choices -- "Iloveyou" -- and their opposite -- "I hate you."Robert Graham, of the company Errata Security, which did the analysis and published the conclusions, advises that to better protect against cyber intrusions: "choose a password that is longer than eight characters with one capital letter and one symbol."Words:1.reveals展示2. keyboard combinations用于开密码锁的数码组合3. distinctiveness区别4. prey猎物5. pirates盗版者6. likewise同样地7. sentimental情感的8. cyber intrusions 网络侵扰Questions:1.What kind of passwords are easy prey for information pirates?2.What do the stolen passwards reveal?3.How can people better better protecttheir passwards against cyber intrusions?

Agassi was a terrific player who won 60 titles ， including eight major championships. Buthis greatest accomplishment( 成就 ) might have been how much he changedduring his career.When he was young ， Agassi was a show -off who seemed to care only about himself. He didn't train very hard ， but he won matches because of his tremendous(极大的 )talent. Eventually ， though， injuries and his bad attitude caught up with him. He fell from No.1 in the world rankings to No.141. So Agassi changed. He trained harder and became a world -class player again.More importantly ， he changed as a person. He was nicer to fans and opponents(敌手 ). He stopped thinking just about himself and started thinking about others. Through his Andre Agassi Charitable Association ， he raised more than $60 million to help disadvantaged kids around his hometown of Las Vegas ， Nevada. He even started a第1页/共4页school， the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy ， for at -risk kids.At the start of a new year ， lots of people promise themselves they will change.

高一英语限时阅读（20）AYOU may have heard of the “American Dream”, an ideal that has powered the hopes of Americans for generations.It began as a belief that the US was a land of opportunity, and that anyone could achieve success through hard work. At times, the dream has referred to home ownership, a good job, retirement security or each generation doing better than the last.Yet today, this concept seems to have greatly changed. As Time magazine pointed out, quite different from their predecessors (前辈), many Millennials (the generation born after 1980) redefine the American Dream as “day-to-day control of your life”. They “prize job mobility (机动性), flexible schedules, any work that is more interesting than typing, and the ability to travel”, said the magazine.Home ownership, once the cornerstone (基石) of the American Dream, is becoming a smaller priority (优先事项) for this generation, as a new research released by US insurance company MassMutual noted. Meanwhile, nearly four in 10 Millennials choose travel as part of their dream. And entrepreneurship (创业) is a rising favorite, as 26 percent of Millennials cite self-employment as part of the dream.So what has led to this huge change?Many point fingers at the poor economy. “Contemporary young Americans seem destined (注定的) to [face] a world stamped by ever narrowing opportunity and societal stagnation (停滞),”noted The Daily Beast.“The rate of 16- to 24-year-olds out of school and out of work is unusually high at 15 percent. Many college graduates have taken jobs that d on‟t require a degree,” Time reported.The Atlantic magazine worries that these difficulties may lead to a lost generation who are “unable to ever truly find their feet on the corporate (公司的) ladder”.Dan Kadlec of Time sees Millennials as resetting their expectations. “The [situation] is different for young adults today”, he wrote. “A true American Dream has to feel attainable, and many Millennials aren‟t feeling they can attain much more than a day-to-day lifestyle that suits them.”1. The article is mainly about ____.A. how American youth today are trying to realize their dreamsB. changes in American youth‟s beliefs about the American dream and the reasons for themC. how the American dream has inspired Americans to achieve successD. why the meaning of the American dream varies from generation to generation2. According to Time magazine, unlike their parents, many Millennials in the US now consider ____ to be the American Dream.a. home ownershipb. travelc. a stable jobd. self-employmente. a flexible scheduleA. a, b, dB. a, c, eC. b, d, eD. b, c, d3. The underlined word “cornerstone” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.A. basisB. growthC. purposeD. balance4. What has changed Millennials‟ views of the American Dream according to the article?A. A lack of confidence in themselves.B. Their dissatisfaction with their government.C. Fierce competition in the job market.D. The discouraging economy and unemployment.5. Dan Kadlec thinks Millenials‟ new definition of the American Dream is ____.A. understandableB. negativeC. troublingD. beautifulKey:1. B。
本文主要讲的是80后的美国年轻人对美国梦的最新定义并分析了导致这一改变的原因，故答案为B。
2. C。
由第三四段可知很多80后的年轻人渴望旅游、自主创业、弹性工作制，所以C项为正确答案。
3. A。
由第二段可知，以前在很多人心中美国梦意味着home ownership, a good job, retirement security等，所以可以推知房屋所有权是美国梦的核心内容之一，故cornerstone在这里意为“基石，基础”，答案为A。
4. D。
由第六段可知低迷的经济状况以及失业率是导致年轻人重新定义美国梦的主要原因，所以答案为D。
5. A。
由本文最后一句话可知Dan Kadlec认为年轻人对美国梦的定义更贴合社会现状，更容易实现，所以答案为A。
BWE see birds flying in groups all the time. But migrating (迁徙的) birds are the ones that make us wonder –they fly not just in groups, but in “V”formations. That must mean something, right?Scientists, too, have been puzzled by this phenomenon and have tried to figure out what benefit birds get from this particular formation. Now, a research group from University of London may have found the answer –migrating birds fly in a “V” to save energy, according to a study published in the journal Nature.When a bird flaps (扑扇) its wings, it stirs (搅动) the air around it and causes the air to move in different directions. Scientists found in the study that the air creates an upward-moving wave at the tip of the wings, which means that if a bird flies around the wingtips of another bird, it can get a boost (抬高) from the rising air and therefore use less energy to stay in the air.When a bunch of birds use this trick at the same time, they form the shape of a “V”.But there is a small problem – the lead bird gets no lift advantage and can easily get tired. This is why a group of migrating birds regularly switches leaders, according to The New York Times.Apart from the “free ride”strategy, scientists were also surprised to observe that migrating birds timed their wing beats and adjusted their positions in a very precise way to maximize (最大限度利用) the lifting effect while avoiding areas where the air moved downward.“They‟re able to sense what‟s going on from the bird in front, where this …good air‟ is coming from and how to position themselves perfectly in it,” lead researcher Steven Portug al told BBC.In fact, the “V”formation has long been thought to help birds fly more efficiently (高效地).A previous study revealed that birds’heart rates went down when they were flying together in a “V”. Fighter jets were also found to be able to reduce their energy use by up to 18 percent by staying near the wingtips of other jets. Both of these findings led scientists to suspect (猜想) that the “V”formation had an efficiency purpose, but until now they lacked proof.For scientists, the new study provides insight (理解) into an interesting natural phenomenon. But it could mean even more for aircraft companies –helping them to “understand how they can replicate (效仿) that with their plane formations to save fuel”, said Portugal.6. What is the author‟s purpose in writing the article?A. To introduce how migrating birds find their way.B. To explain how birds benefit from migration.C. To report new findings about migrating birds‟ “V” formations.D. To inform us of some applications of migrating birds‟ “V” for mations.7. According to a recent study, when birds migrate, ____.A. they fly in “V” formations to protect themselves against enemiesB. they form the shape of a “V” to make best use of the lifting effectC. they don‟t often change their lead birds duri ng the whole journeyD. the air they stir around makes it hard for the birds behind them to fly fast8. What is the significance of the new study according to the article?A. It has proven that the “V” formation can improve efficiency in many fields.B. I t led scientists to discover that birds‟ heart rates go down when they fly in a “V”.C. It shows that the best formation of fighter jets in battles would be a “V” formation.D. It might inspire aircraft companies to think of ways to improve efficiency.Key:1. C。
