With a group of famous judges and a wide range of talents, it is clear that the competitive atmosphere of American Idol will remain unrivaled by any other show. After all, its success has been ＂unmatched in broadcasting history.＂American Idol came from the British series Pop Idol. Through an application, contestants came into the competition and thereafter, were chosen to audition(试音)for the show.

During the candidate’s live performance, a free telephone number was displayed on the screen for viewers to dial, to cast their vote.

Though only the winner would receive a million dollar reward and a significant record deal, other contestants would have had a chance to be known by the public. As the famous producer Simon Cowell once said, ＂The point of the show is not to be mean to loser, but to find a winner.＂ As the final season of the program begins, past winners will return to the stage to say goodbye and a new winner will be announced.

B(2015·江西八校联考)Around the world，honeybee groups are dying in huge numbers: about onethird ofnests collapse each year.For bees and the plants they pollinate (授粉)，as well as for beekeepers，farmers，honey lovers and everyone else who appreciates this marvelous social insect，this is a catastrophe.Honeybee collapse has been particularly worrying because there is not one cause，but rather a thousand little cuts.The main elements include the mixed impact of pesticides (杀虫剂) applied to fields，as well as pesticides applied directly into nests to control bugs，pests and diseases; nutritional shortages caused by vast acreages of singlecrop fiel ds that lack diverse flowering plants; and commercial beekeeping itself，which destroys groups by moving most bees around the country multiple times each year to pollinate crops.The real issue，though，is not the volume of problems，but the interactions among them.Here we find a major lesson from the bees that we ignore our risk：the concept of synergy(协同作用), where one_plus_one_equals_three，or_four，or_more．A typical honeybee colony contains remains from more than 120 pesticides.Alone，each represents a benign dose (良性剂量). But together they form a poisonous soup of chemicals whose interplay (相互作用) can greatly reduce the effectiveness of bees’ immune systems，making them easier to suffer from diseases.Observing the death of honeybees should warn us that our own wellbeing might be similarly threatened，and the widespread collapse of so many groups presents a clear message.We must demand that our regulatory authorities require studies on how exposure to low dosages of combined chemicals may affect human health before approving compounds.Bees also provide some clues to how we may build a more collaborative relationship with the services that ecosystems can provide.Bees could offer some of the pollination services needed for agriculture.People discover that crop harvests，and thus profits，are maximized if some croplands are left uncultivated for bees.Meanwhile a variety of wild plants means a healthier，more diverse bee population，which will then move to the planted fields next door in larger and more active numbers.1．Which of the following is NOT the cause that leads to bees’ death?A．Lack of nutrition from enough diverse flowering plants.B．The pests and diseases of the bees.C．The beekeepers’ destroying without intention.D．The pesticides applied to crops.2．By saying “one plus one equals three，or four，or more” in Paragraph 3，the author means that ________．A．united bees mean they are much more powerfulB．united bees mean they are much more poisonousC．mixed pesticides mean they are much more poisonousD．mixed pesticides mean they are much more effective3．The lesson peop le can learn from bees’death is that ________．A．medicine is as powerful as pesticidesB．our health might be threatened by pesticidesC．we should protect bees by reducing the usage of pesticidesD．medicine may be harmful to us when used together4．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．Keeping a balance with nature is important.B．More plants mean more and healthier bees.C．Bees are very important to agriculture.D．Bees can bring in good higher profits to farmers.【解题导语】本文主要讲述了蜜蜂大量消失的原因以及给人们带来的启示。

I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends who were barred in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr. Clark wouldn't let that happen.Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scores of our whole class rose. One day, he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera, and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show, he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down.Mr. Clark was selected as Disney's 2000 Teacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names out of a hat; those students would go with him to Los Angeles to get the award. But when the time came to draw names, Mr. Clark said，“You're all going.〞On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didn't want his class to end.

Well, the world is always bigger than our wallets. One of the simplest options is to find a place that has a lot to offer but hasn't yet been hit by the price inflation that es with mass popularity. To help travelers in search of value, we've assembled, with the help of professionals from USA Today, CNN and Lonely Planet, a list of destinations that are worth going to while they're still cheap.UkraineIts name translates as “land on the edge”， and this year Ukraine may be on the edge of discovery for budget travelers in search of rich history. Visitors can enjoy its cultural wealth, the warmth of its people and the fact that their daily spending is below ＄50 (307 yuan)．The country's UNESCO World Heritage Sites are cooperating with locals to offer special deals, such as a traditional meal for just a few dollars. It's the kind of travel experience you will recall once the moment has passed, so now is the time to build those memories.South KoreaSouth Korea is a visitorfriendly country. Not only can budget travelers find the basics — from hotel rooms to great meals — at reasonable prices, but the country also has a ton of free parks, discounts and other free services, especially for visitors. For instance, until August 25, a free shuttle bus transports foreign visitors between the capital city of Seoul and Jeonju, a popular tourist destination. A free phone service offers tourists multilingual assistance 24 hours a day.TurkeyTurkey is on the rise, so to get the best of the new at the price of the old, go now. In the last decade, the country's tourism facilities have grown by 67 percent, according to USA Today, and more recently it has emerged as a global airline hub. This country of ancient ruins, historic towns and beckoning beaches is a destination to watch this summer.EgyptPopular resort areas in Egypt, like Sharm El Sheikh, are as relaxing as they ever were —and also less stressful for your wallet. “The overall sentiment is that resort areas like Sharm El Sheikh are very safe，” said Tony Cardoza, president of a US travel agen cy, in an interview with CNN. “But most vacationers appear to prefer traveling to places that haven't seen as much civil unrest.” That preference has made Egypt a buyer's market. Low demand also has another benefit: smaller crowds. “Clients going now have been able to get pictures ofthemselves in front of the pyramids with no other tourists blocking the view，” Cardoza said.语篇解读：本文是应用文。

That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.To figure out how much power these devices are using， Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life - from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device.

定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校2019版高考英语阅读理解一轮提升选练（9）李仕才 AOne cold day last November, my wife and I came home from work to a sick young daughter and we decided to stay at home for the night. Problem was, we had two tickets to see Miranda July, the performance artist, being interviewed at the Herbst Theatre. We decided to sell them online for ＄50. One hour before the event, a guy named Peter called me and said he wanted to buy the tickets. Since the time was limited, I told Peter to pay me the next day. Peter seemed touched and we said a fond goodbye.However, a month later, Peter still didn’t pay me back. A few moreweeks passed. Another month. There’d been one e -mail promising to mail the check, then silence.Maybe he was having a hard time, I thought. But truth was, Peter seemed to be having a pretty normal time. According to the pictures and messageson his Facebook, he had been playing golf, dancing happily with his friends, and traveling on a boat. But he just refused to answer my calls, or reply to my e-mails or message s. So I tried reaching him with my wife’s phone one night. And he didn’t pick up when I called,but texted right back, playfully wondering who might be calling him.“You should go to his office,”my wife said, “He would have to giveyou the money if all his coworkers were watching.”But I didn’t want to become a debt collector. My efforts to reach Peter over these months had been light and I wanted to keep it that way. My initial exchange with Peter had been just two regular people agreeingto handle things humanly. There was a rare niceness in that, and I still wanted to keep that balloon in the air, however disappointing it was starting to look. I wanted to believe we could still trust each other. 1.For what reason did the author and his wife decide to sell the ticket? A. They thought it was too cold that night. B. They needed to look after their daughter. C. They wanted to save some money. D. They were going to be interviewed.2.On the night the author sold his tickets to Peter, he________. A. knew he might not get the ＄50.B. felt a little hesitant.C. thought he could trust Peter.D. was moved by Peter’s kindness. 3.Why didn’t Peter pay the author back? A. Because he didn’t remember it.B. Because he was too busy to pay.C. Because he didn’t want to pay.D. Because he was having a tough time.4.What can we infer about the author?A. He would never trust strangers.B. He might call the police for help.C. He would go to Peter’s office to talk to him.D. He still hoped Peter would pay him back.【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在网上把两张票卖给Peter，而Peter却迟迟不给钱，作者仍然希望Peter要讲诚信。
