AMaking friends is a skill like most skills. It improves with practice。
If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some action. You must first go where there are people。
You won’t make friends staying home alone.Joining a club or a group, talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. Or join someone in some activity。
Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about unknown。
Most of our fears about dealing with new people comes from doubts about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us, finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that.But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you are, and try to put the other person at ease。

AWalking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked!Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!Having stopped laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain. For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused. I wasn't sure what to do. After all, it’s just not everyday that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That's when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was dying.Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admirethe love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate’s sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life. Should I have been careless enough to step on her?His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate’s safety seemed admirable. I couldn’t do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.Since then, I’ve used that butterfly’s courage as an inspiration and to remind myself that good things are worth fighting for.21. The writer changed his direction while walking down a path because he wanted_______.A. to get close to a butterflyB. to escape a sudden attackC. to look over the bad situationD. to avoid getting his shoes dirty22. From the passage we can learn that the attacker _________.A. struck the author four or five times and made him badly hurtB. paused until the author took a step backwardsC. thought it was the author who caused the death of his mateD. attacked the author for his mate’s safety and to accompany her for the last moments of life23. From this experience the man learned_____.A. butterflies are brave insectsB. the small can defeat the largeC. how to deal with challeng es in his lifeD. people should try their best to fight for everything24. Which of the following words can best describe the butterfly?A. amusingB. ambitiousC. courageousD. aggressiveBIt was the end of my first senior year. I was riding with my friends, and a bottle of beer was passed around the car. Everyone was taking swigs(一大口). When the bottle got to me, I thought:“What should I do?”I took a swig. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I had to drive home later that night.I went back to my car, got in and drove off. At a stop sign I saw a policeman sitting in the parking lot across the street. His headlights were turned on, and I knew he was going to follow me. Then he flashed his lights at me. All I could think was:“Oh no, that swig!”I pulled over and waited for him to come to my door. It felt like forever. “Can I see your license and registration, please, Miss?” I gave them to him. He took them and went back to his car for a while. When he returned, he asked if I had been drinking. “No,”I said. He asked me to step out of my car. “Walk heel to toe down the white line, please.” I passed the test. Next he had me stand on my left foot, lift my right foot and hold it for 30 seconds. I’m not the most coordinated (动作协调的) person and I can’t even walk and chew gum at the same time, so, needless to say, I didn’t pass. Then he asked me to take a breathalyzer test.That was where I messed up. I told him I didn’t want to and didn’t understand why I had to. The officer asked me three more times, and I continued to refuse. He told me to turn around and place my hands behind my back. He arrested me right then and there. The policeman drove me to a police station 20 minutes from my home. He called my parents and told them where I was.I went to court two months after that, charged with refusing to obey an officer. I got a $700 (4,340 yuan)fine and 40 hours of community serv ice. I’ll be o n probation (缓刑)for a year, and I’ll hav e to take the driving test again. I lost my license for a whole year. This was a huge learning experience for me. It opened my eyes to how easy it is to make a stupid decision. I want everyone reading this to know that it’s not right to drink and drive. It definitely isn’t worth losing your license over.25. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. The author didn’t remember she had to drive home later when riding with her friends.B. The author felt just one mouthful would not affect her driving.C. The author wished she had refused to drink that night.D. The author lost her driving license on the way.26. What did the policeman ask the author to do at the stop sign?a. Show her driving license.b. Walk in a straight line.c. Stand on her head.d. Stand on one foot for 30 seconds.e. Take her tem perature.A. a, b, dB. a, c, dC. b, c, eD. b, d, e27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A. The author was in jail for 40 hours and had to do community service.B. The author thought her punishment shouldn’t be so serious.C. The author believed she would have avoided punishment if she had obeyed the policeman.D. The author was really sorry that she had made a serious mistake.28. The article wants to ______.A. show that severe punishment works.B. explain how policemen test drivers.C. warn people against driving after drinking.D. blame the author’s thoughtless friends.CA scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and w atching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment. By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑)early on were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated(沮丧)and inflexible(固守己见的). Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul. Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence:when it comes to predicting people's success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "character".EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients(要素)for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck. While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.29. Which of the following is true of EQ and IQ according to the text?A. The higher a person's EQ is, the higher his or her IQ is.B. The higher a person's IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.C. Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.D. Scientists have already discovered the way in which EQ and IQ work together.30. The underlined word "upbeat" in Paragraph 4 probably means _____.A. kindB. optimisticC. excitedD. floating31.Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?A. To introduce the topic of the text.B. To prove the scientist's wisdom.C. To amuse both the children and readers.D. To show us how to do an IQ test.32.What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. Information about famous people with high EQ.B. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.C. Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field.D. Strong demand for basic emotional education.DThings to See & Do in DublinDublin City Ha llInside City Ha ll is an interesting exhibition about Dublin’s history, with historical items from the o ld city and multimedia presentations.

AI f you’re planning on traveling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.First of all, always check and double-check departure (起程) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 1050. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency(货币) with you when you arrive in a country. This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing.The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suit and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.1.

Leaving Beijing early on a Wednesday morning in July, my wife and I traveled through some gorgeous countryside before we arrived in Moscow the following Monday evening.The first part of the journey took us past the Great Wall and through the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. At the Mongolian Republic border, we had a delay(耽搁) while the wheels were changed because the railway is different.On our way to the capital, Ulan Bator, we saw herdsmen(牧人) on horseback looking after their cattle. There was a terrible thunderstorm as we crossed a vast open plain. Later we had a quick tour of Ulan Bator.Next, the train took us into Siberia. After a stop at Irkutsk, a popular holiday resort (胜地), where a tour group left the train, we passed the great Lake Baikal. Later, we saw some lovely wooden houses in pretty, sunny countryside. This surprised us, as we had imagined Siberia asbeing covered in thick snow.Over the next few days, we passed through Novosibirsk, Omsk and other cities in the heartlands of the Russian Federation. By now, our body clocks were losing their sense of time. We wanted to sleep and eat at the wrong time!At last we reached Moscow. We were too tired and slept for 16 hours that night. The next day we went sightseeing. We saw the Kremlin and some other great buildings in the Russian capital. Then, all too soon, it was time for us to return to our home in London.8.

You can hear them call out “Street Sense for sale!”near subway entrances, lunch places and other areas around the city.The Street Sense newspaper is housed in an office in a Christian church in Washington. Every other Wednesday about fourteen thousand copies are printed. The newspaper expresses the thoughts and experiences of people who call the streets home.Four staff members work at Street Sense and two of them are paid. The staff members write the first two pages of the paper. Intern s—students working as part of their studie s—and volunteers help. Homeless writers provide the rest of the material. This includes poems, stories and essays.Street Sense provides training for the homeless people who want to become part of the sales team. After the training, each student is given ten free copies of Street Sense. Once those are sold, trainees become real salespeople. They buy papers for thirty-five cents each and sell them for a dollar.Lisa Gillespie is the managing editor of Street Sense, She says the newspaper plays a part in homeless people’s lives that other media can not.

It tasted of sharp berries and smelt of sour grapes. My family lived in a cabin(小木屋) in the countryside but I lived in my mother’s arms. They were so delicate but strong, her red hair falling around me like a curtain separating me from the world.Childhood was simple. The borders of my village were the furthest my troubles went and monsters only lived in the pages of books. Every day was a waking dream of running races and muddy knees. My village was archaic, dying cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions. There weren’t many children but me and the other boys; boys of butchers and sellers formed our own group.They called us wild. I suppose we were. Trees and mountains formed our playgrounds and fights broke out as easily as sudden laughter. Liberated from the restrictions of society, we would bound into the woods, deeper and deeper until we found a lake which, with a wild yell, we would jump into all at once.My most vivid memories from boyhood center around that lake. Water shone brightly and the sounds of our screams broke into the outcry from birds. The shock of cold water against sweating skin would wake every nerve in my body and my bare feet would hit the sinking muddy bottom. As we submerged(淹没),time would suspend,movements slowing as bubbles rose around us.I was drowning. I was living. I was living. I was drowning.For timelessness or a second (both felt the same), we would suspend, curl up, and then be forced back out into breathing air.We should have known that it wouldn’t last forever. Yet, even under the best circumstances, there’s something so tragic about growing up: to have your perspective on the people and life around you change;to always struggle to reach a mirror only to find yourself tall enough to seeyour reflection one day. And find, a different person staring back out at you.4.What does the underlined word “archaic” mean in paragraph 2?A.Borderless.B.Valueless.C.Old-fashioned.D.Poverty-stricken.5.Why did the author consider himself and other children wild?A.They played in the woods crazily.B.They tricked others purposefully.C.They frequently broke social rules.D.They firmly refused school education.6.How does the author introduce his memories of the lake?A.By sharing feelings.B.By expressing ideas.C.By making comparisons.D.By describing characters.7.What message does the author seem to convey in the last paragraph?A.Loneliness and challenges make a man grow up.B.The regret of growth is that you have never tried.C.Growth is often accompanied by sad goodbyes to the past.D.Growth begins when we begin to accept our own weakness.NBC News published an opinion piece declaring that parents aren’t qualified to make decisions about school curricula for their children. The column, “Schools face parents who want to ban critical race theory and don’t get how teaching works”, written by author Christina Wyman was instantly roasted on social media.“Parents and politicians across the country are getting their fingers into the curricula that public schools use to teach students. Some states are passing laws to keep critical race theory out of schools, and school libraries are coming under attack for containing books about gender. There are even parents who are trying to keep students away from learning about mental health and asthough helping children build emotional strength is a bad thing,” Wyman wrote to kick off the piece.“While the political climate and national involvement in school districts give the phenomenon a broader platform and have more serious impact, this behavior is nothing new. Parents have always tried to interfere (干涉) with curricula, as I observed when teaching middle school in the mid-2000s,” she continued. Wyman then compared parents wanting to have a say in what their children learn to people breaking into an operating room during surgery on their children. “These interventions are nothing more than theater, and school boards and administrators should be protecting their teachers and students from them rather than bowing to them,” she wrote.Wyman, who spent some time discussing her own schooling and Ph. D.in curriculum, painted parents as under-qualified to cut in unless they have achieved the same level of education that is required of most teachers. Wyman wrote, “An educator’s primary goal is to teach students to think. Parents who attempt to influence curricula with their personal opinions block that goal.”8.How did Wyman begin the piece?A.By presenting some unreasonable phenomena.B.By calling for parents’ concern about children.C.By stressing students’ mental health problems.D.By introducing various public school curricula.9.What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Curricula.B.Parents.C.Interventions.D.Administrators.10.Why does Wyman write the opinion piece?A.To attract readers’ attention to NBC.B.To reflect parents’ love for children.C.To call for more concern for curricula.D.To persuade parents out of interfering. 11.Which word can best describe Wyman?A.Stubborn.B.Qualified.C.Optimistic.D.Unprofessional.Recently, more than 1,000 researchers and executives signed an open letter calling for a pause (暂停) in research on artificial intelligence. The letter warns that AI may threaten jobs,spread propaganda (宣传), and even lead to the “loss of control of our civilization”. Many of the signatories (签署者) are thoughtful and experienced AI practitioners. Their concerns should be taken seriously. On balance, though, their approach is likely to evolve into an opposition to progress.Consider the broader worldview expressed in this document. It said, “Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and risks manageable.” This is a formula for complete stop, as no one can ever be so confident. The history of innovation is one of trial and error, risk and reward. One reason why the US leads the world in digital technology is that it did not constrain (约束) the industry with well-meaning but doubtful regulation. Slowing Al progress, moreover, carries risks all its own. Don't forget that this technology is likely to make the world richer, healthier, smarter and more productive for decades to come. By 2030, it might be contributing more than $15 trillion to the global economy. Advances in medicine, biology, climate science, education, manufacturing, transportation and much more are on the horizon. Any new rules must be balanced against the vast potential of these efforts.Nor is AI research advancing into a void (空白领域). The industry already operates within legal parameters (范畴) in response to potential harms. Companies have ensured their products are safe. Trade associations are developing codes of conduct and ethical frameworks. Far from the“ out-of-control race”, the AI business is constrained by law and politics and consumer sentiment (情绪).It's natural to worry about new technologies, but the wealth and abundance of American society is due in no small part to risks taken in the past, in a spirit of openness and optimism. The AI revolution deserves no less.12.Why did the researchers and executives sign the open letter?A.Because the research on AI had been paused.B.Because AI had uncontrollably destroyed human civilization.C.Because they were worried about the potential risks of AI.D.Because they were more experienced than others in AI field.13.Why is the US mentioned in paragraph 2?A.To support that innovation comes from taking risks.B.To stress that the US is very important in the digital field.C.To draw attention to the benefits of well-meaning regulations.D.To reveal those people's real purpose of signing the letter.14.What can we infer from this passage?A.Al technology consumes more money than it can earn.B.Society will hugely benefit from AI technology in the future.C.The AI industry is now developing without any restrictions.D.The development of AI technology is just a solo effort.15.What is the passage mainly about?A.Regulations on AI are well-intended but doubtful.B.The future of AI is filled with unmanageable risks.C.AI safety concerns justify a temporary research pause.D.A pause in AI would hold back progress in innovation.The Art of Slow ReadingIf you are reading this article in print, chances are that you will only get through half of what I have written. And if you are reading this online, you may not even finish a fifth. 16 They suggest that many of us no longer have the concentration to read articles through to their conclusion.So are we getting stupider? Actually, our online habits are damaging the mental power we need to process and understand textual information. Round-the-clock news makes us read from one article to the next without necessarily engaging fully with any of the content. Our reading is frequently interrupted by the noise of the latest email and we are now absorbing short bursts of words on Twitter and Facebook more regularly than longer texts. 17 But we are gradually forgetting how to sit back, think carefully, and relate all the facts to each other.18 A desperate bunch of academics want us to take our time while reading, and re-reading. They ask us to switch off our computers every so often and rediscover both the joy of personal engagement with printed texts, and the ability to process them fully. What's to be done then? Most slow readers realize that total rejection of the web is extremely unrealistic. They feel that getaway from technology for a while is the answer. 19 Personally, I'm not surewhether I could ever go offline for long. Even while writing this article, I am switching constantly between sites, skimming too often, absorbing too little. Internet reading has become too rooted in my daily life for me to change. I read essays and articles not in hard copy but as PDFs. I suspect that many readers are in a similar position. 20 You can download a computer application called Freedom, which allows you to read in peace by cutting off your Internet connection. Or if you want to avoid being disturbed by the Internet, you could always download offline reader Instapaper for your iPhone. If you're still reading my article, that is slow reading.A.The Internet is probably part of the problem.B.Now some campaigns are advocating slow reading.C.These are the two findings from the recent research projects.D.But if you just occasionally want to read more slowly, help is at hand.E.Some of them have suggested turning their computers off for one day a week.F.Slow reading can help connect a reader to neighborhood and become popular.G.Because of the Internet, we have become very good at collecting information.二、完形填空Age is truly just a number if our hearts are young. Lee Minor, an 85-year-old retired psychologist, has 21 this by finishing his 600th marathon race with 32 members of his family by his side. “Runners don’t have a 22 line. We just keep going,” he toldGood Morning America. “I felt 23 running with my family.” Minor has been running three days a week since 1969, and his heart is filled with enthusiasm for running.“I like to run in all kinds of 24 . It is so childish as the rain touches your face. And I love to come here after snow and you watch your 25 as you go along.” he concluded.Minor’s enthusiasm for running is 26 . “It is my joy. And I want to live as long as I can. And I mean live, not 27 .” His words ring true for Ron Robert, a man diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease who decided to 28 a three-year bachelor of artsprogram at King’s University College in London, Ontario. “I was always taught early in life that the brain is like the most 29 instrument we have in our body,” said Robert.Last fall, Robert graduated from the university, despite the challenges of his illness. “WhenI went across the stage, and as I’m getting my 30 , the kids all stood up andyelled and clapped,” he 31 . “I had to hold back the tears. It was something else, just wonderful.” He hopes that his story will give hope to others facing 32 difficulties. “There will come a time when I won’t be able to, and I fully 33 that.

辽宁省沈阳铁路实验中学2013-2014学年高一下学期第一次月考英语试题
辽宁省沈阳铁路实验中学2013-2014学年高一下学期第一次月考英语试题第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中,选出最佳选项.AHe had been on a long flight. The first warning of the approaching problems came when the sign on the airplane flashed on: ―Fasten your seat belts.‖Then, after a while, a calm voice said, ―We shall not be serving the drinks at this time as we are expecting a little turbulence(气流). Please be sure your seat belt is fastened.‖As he looked around the aircraft, it became obvious that many of the passengers were becoming nervous.Later, the voice of the announcer said, ―We are so sorry that we are unable to serve the meal at this time. The turbulence is still ahead of us.‖And then the storm broke out. The terrible thunder could be heard even above the sound of the engines. Lightening lit up the darkening skies and within moments that great plane was like a feather thrown around on a vast ocean. One moment the airplane was lifted on great currents of air; the next, it dropped as if it were about to crash.The man admitted that he shared the discomfort and fear of those around him. He said, ―As I looked around the plane, I could see that nearly all the passengers were upset and alarmed. Some were praying(祈祷).‖―The future seemed terrible and many w ere wondering if they would make it through the storm. And then, I suddenly saw a girl to whom the storm meant nothing. She just sat on her seat and was reading a book. Everything within her small world was calm and orderly. Sometimes she closed her eyes, then she would read again; then she would straighten her legs, but worry and fear were not in her world. When the plane was being hit by the terrible storm, when it shook this way and that, as it rose and fell so severely, when all the adults were scared half to death, that unusual child was completely composed and unafraid.‖The man could hardly believe his eyes. It was not surprising, therefore, that when the plane finally reached its destination and all the passengers were hurrying off board, he asked the girl why she had not been afraid. The sweet child replied, ―Sir, my Dad is the pilot and he is taking me home.‖4.What makes the girl behave so differently from others then?A.position. B.goal. C.disaster. D.Confidence.BBesides containing attractive flowers, trees and other plants that beautify the community, eco-friendly (生态友好型)rain gardens are healthy for the environment and the people living and working nearby.A rain garden is not very different from a traditional garden. It is just a far more eco-friendly garden. Usually it is built lower than the ground. Rain gardens make smart use of rain and storm water by temporarily(暂时地) holding water from rain and storms and letting it soak(浸入)slowly into the ground before it runs into streams or enters the public drinking water supply.Thus, a rain garden keeps the water, allowing it to be used as needed by plants in the rain garden, rather than flowing immediately into nearby streams and going unused. The water will soak slowly into the ground within a day or two. This creates an advantage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes to breed(繁殖). This is a simple, attractive, an d ecofriendly ―green‖ way to treat storm water.What's more, planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution and improve the environment. Without using expensive machinery and chemicals, rain gardens remove harmful chemicals in the rainwater and cut down on the amount of pollution reaching streams and rivers by up to 30%.Native plants are suggested for rain gardens because they are more used to the local climate, soil, and water conditions. They may attract local wildlife such as native birds. Water your rain garden immediately after planting and once a week, unless you have had at least an inch of rain during the week. Once native plants establish the necessary root system, they will require little care.Often, local governments and private businesses develop large rain gardens in their yards and in public parks as a way to improve the environment and solve flooding problems. However, you don't need to be a professionally environmental engineer to create a rain garden. As long as you're eco-conscious homeowners, you can help the environment by building smaller rain gardens in your yards.5. Which of the following is NOT true for the function of rain gardens?A.They are good for living conditions.B.They increase pollution.C.They can beautify the community.D.They improve the environment.6. One of the main reasons why native plants are suggested is that________.A.they cost less and are much easier to getB.they may attract local wildlife to comeC.they require little care from the local gardenerD.they are more used to the local growing conditions7. What do we know about rain gardens?A.They need little water after all the plants are planted.B.They usually need at least an inch of rainwater a week .C.They may attract local birds and change the local climate.D.They may reduce the water pollution problem by 70%.8. Who are the intended readers of the passage?A.Homeowners. B.Tourists.C.Engineers. D.Educators.CA volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe. Airlines have stopped or changed the flights across the Atlantic Ocean, leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in airports.Grirmsvom is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Europe. What makes Grimsvom different is that it lies under a huge glacier(冰川)of ice up to 12 maters thick. The hot volcano heats up the ice above it, which then forms a layer(层)of water between the glacier and the volcano. This layer of water puts pressure on the volcano, keeping it stable. As the water flows out from under the glacier, the pressure lifts. The lava from the volcano then comes up to the surface. This is exactly what happened today.Now, airlines have to make changes to their flights so as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic ash. According to KLM. one of Europe’s biggest airlin es, airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it. Going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplane’s engines, causing damage to the plane.The eruption has also caused problems for animals in Iceland. The volcano left ash and sharp, glass-like rocks all over the countryside. Farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop them from eating ash- covered grass or the sharp object.9. What makes Grimsvom different from other volcanoes?A. It is below ice.B. It lies under the seaC. It is the largest volcanoD. It is lava affects the airlines10. What stops Grimsvom from erupting?A. The slow flow of waterB. The low water temperatureC. The thick glacierD. The water pressure11. Which of the following is the result of the volcanic eruption?A. People stop traveling in EuropeB. Airlines suffer from the loss of planesC. It becomes dangerous for animals to eat outsideD. Farmers have lost many of their animals12. This text is most probably taken from____.A. a research paperB. a newspaper reportC. a class presentationD. a geography textbook.DThe Huntington Library HoursThe Huntington is closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas EVE, Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, and Independence Day.From November 1st to Labor day, The Huntington observes summer hours and is open from 10:30 a.m.– 4:30 p.m. daily, except Tuesdays.

The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up 20 minutes later, lying face down in muddy water. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a tree and muddy road. When Mrs. Franco came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of James regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a compellent answer as to why this should happen. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since James lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was another sudden shock.4.The reason why James attempted to kill himself was that ________.A.a terrible electrical accident happened to himB.nobody in the whole world cared about himC.he was struck by the lightning once moreD.he had to live in a dark and silent world5.What was James doing when he was struck by the lightning?A.Sheltering from the rain under a tree. B.Putting an end to his life.C.Taking a walk with a stick. D.Lying on the ground.6.What does the underlined word “compellent” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Gradual. B.Wrong. C.Convincing. D.True.7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.A Terrible Electrical Accident B.What a Sudden ShockC.An Unforgettable Adventure D.James Franco and His wifeCThis could be the perfect gift for the partner,who embarrasses you on the dance floor.Smart socks,which can teach to dance,may be the answer for anyone with two left feet.The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners improve their skills.Thanks to the socks,users can accurately record not only how far and fast they run but also how well.It means the user maximizes their performance,and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt.The hi-tech socks are made of special fibers that watch the movements of your feet.They look,feel and can be washed like normal clothes.Sensors(传感器)record each movement and send it by an ankle transmitter(脚踝发射器)to a smart phone. Then a “virtual coach” application shows the information and can tell the user what they are doing wrong,and help to improve skill in any task with feet.The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers."People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well,"Dr Davide Vigano said.A recent study showed that between 60 and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year.This is pretty much more than any other human activity.Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance,play sports such as golf,or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.Mr.Vigano said,“People could all benefit from the idea.We have had interest from all sorts of sports,like skiing, football,cycling and golf.Anything where you have to use your feet can use it.Itcould even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.”Socks are just the start,and the technology could be used in gloves,hats and boots.The socks,anklet and software package,are expected to be sold for around£120,which will go on sale in March.8.What does the underlined part "anyone with two left feet" refer to?A.People who are disabled.B.People who are interested in dancing.C.People who are not good at dancing.D.People who invented the socks.9.What's special about fibers that the socks are made of?A.They feel much softer than normal clothes.B.They can monitor the movement of feet.C.They are expensive to produce.D.They act as a smart phone for users.10.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the socks?A.They can improve the skill of running.B.They can help women walk better in high heels.C.They can teach people to dance well.D.They can be worn for days without washing.11.According to Dr.Vigano,.A.everyone can make good use of the smart socksB.users can run as fast as they like with the socksC.60 to 80 percent of runners would like to buy the smart socksD.no runners will get hurt,thanks to the socksDIt warmed my heart today to walk into the Thirsty Camel downtown in the Thanksgiving Day, for a quick lunch before a haircut and library trip. Ihan, a food shop owner, said that he was refusing to take money today because it was Buy Nothing Day. To increase awareness(意识) of the strange over spending nature of our society, Ilan suggested a trade for food today. He simply asked that you offersomething of equal personal value for the meal you received.At first I was really uncomfortable, wondering if it would be fair to exchange a yet to be determined “I Owe You” (IOU) for food? What could I give him of equal value? After all, his food is the best in the town!We ended up writing our IOU's with promises of a book, some paintings and the offer of work in a variety of ways if he needs it.I think the idea isn't that the trade is "equal" so much as the importance of the kind of<u>transaction</u>. We put thought into our offer and we had an even greater understanding for the meals we ate.We don't buy a lot, especially at this upcoming time of year. We don't give gifts at all in fact. The holiday time is spent enjoying each other's company and doing things together with family and friends. This is what seems most sensible.Ilan is a good person.

AWhen I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn’t a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受) her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyon e else the truth about yourself. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be helpful to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.”Many years have passed. The situation often appears in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure(珍惜) all your life!1.

Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. My ParentsB. A Serious Criticism(批评)C. What People Say About You Is Always RightD. The Best Advice I Ever HadBLet us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let’s make believe (假装;虚构) it is about fifty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment (娱乐) of young and old.What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven’t yet started to take on heir (继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.People are now largely vegetarians (素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animal decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.Such would be our life in 2060.5. When was the passage written?A. In about A.D. 2060.B. In about 1960.C. In about 2014.D. In about 2010.6.

The exhibition will be open from Sept 18 to Jan 5. On display will be 108 cultural relics from 10 museums in China, as well as collections from the British Museum and museums in Japan, the United States and Europe. The exhibition will be in five parts to give an overview of the society."This was a time when the political and social system of the dynasty became stable(稳定), and the country also experienced huge changes. China was in frequent contact with the rest of the world at that time, and its artists and scholars also influenced other cultures," said Yao Yu, the director of this activity. During this time, Beijing became the capital of China, and Zheng He (1371-1433) set sail and reached the shores of eastern Africa.Jessica from the British Museum, said "reading" an artwork may differ in different cultures. "When a Chinese audience sees a painting you see figures and stories. But we see beautiful views. " However, she added that the British public had a basic knowledge of the dynasty and many British people probably knew more about the later period of the Ming Dynasty after the Portuguese and Spanish came to China to trade. Their houses and dining tables have Chinese blue and white vases but they don’t know much about the earlier period, which in China was a more culturally important period."We’d like to take away people from the idea that China became international after the Europeans arrived. China in the early Ming Dynasty was very international. "9. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. An important exhibition.B. Museums in London.C. Artworks from China.D. Ming Dynasty in China.10.
