【题目】根据短文内容的理解。选择正确答案。 One of the most successful singers of the twentieth century, Ella Fitzgerald has made several different styles of her own. She was born in Virginia but was brought up in an orphanage in Yonkers, New York. Chick Webb spotted her in an amateur competition when she was sixteen. He engaged her to sing with his band and when he died in 1939, she took over.
Unlike Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald taught herself the sentimental music so popular in the 1930's — songs like "My Heart Belongs to Daddy"— and her recordings became best-sellers. During the 1940's she developed her own "scat singing" — a breathless, nonsense—syllable style—for songs like "Flying Home" and "Lady Be Good."
Ella Fitzgerald was the perfect musical partner for her friend, the trumpeter Louis Armstrong, matching him in warmth and artistry. "I just like music, period," she said. "To me, it's a story. There's only one thing better than singing……. It's more singing."
(1)What does the passage mainly discuss?
A.A comparison of Ella Fitzgerald and Bessie Smith.
B.The musical career of Ella Fitzgerald.
C.Ella Fitzgerald's early childhood.
D.Ella Fitzgerald's most recent recordings.
(2)The underlined word "spotted" means ________.
A.noticed
B.brought up
C.employed
D.recognized
(3)What does the passage imply about Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong?
A.They were the founders of "scat singing".
B.They played the same musical instruments.
C.They performed well together.

【题目】根据短文内容的理解,选择正确答案。
Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there's always a temptation(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of TheSocialAnimal: TheHiddenSourcesofLove, Character, andAchievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.
Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book TheSocialAnimal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren't?
To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines(学科). Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader's attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development, and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.
On the whole, Brooks's story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with TheSocialAnimal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks's attempt to translate his tale into science.
(1)The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to __________.
A.illustrate where science can be applied
B.demonstrate the value of Brooks's new book
C.remind the reader of the importance of science
D.explain why many writers use science in their works
(2)According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?
A.Its strong basis.
B.Its convincing points.
C.Its clear writing.
D.Its memorable characters.
(3)What is the author's general attitude towards the book?
A.Contradictory.
B.Supportive.
C.Cautious.
D.Critical.
(4)What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?
A.Problems with the book.
B.Brooks's life experiences.
C.Death of the characters.
D.Brooks's translation skills.

【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Evaluating Sources (来源) of health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.
Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study.
Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior "contributes to" or is "associated with" an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.
Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. Evaluate "scientific" statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术).
Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.
Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.
A. Make choices that are right for you.
B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something.
C. Be sure to work through the critical questions.
D. And examine the findings of the original research.
E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.
F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view.
G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.

【题目】根据短文内容的理解,选择正确答案。 "Indeed," George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, "some kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left home." But the father of America was not the father of bug. When Washington wrote that, Englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century, and Americans had already created lightning-bug(萤火虫). But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. Although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like.
Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bug-shaped car. The bug could also be a burglar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is, "to install (安装) an alarm". Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others' conversation. Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant "to cheat", and since the 1940s it has been annoying.
We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design. That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison. In 1878 he explained bugs as "little problems and difficulties" that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison "had been up the two previous nights discovering 'a bug' in his invented record player."
(1)We learn from Paragraph 1 that ________.
A.Americans had difficulty in learning to use the word bug
B.George Washington was the first person to call an insect a bug
C.the word bug was still popularly used in English in the nineteenth century
D.both Englishman and Americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century
(2)What does the word "flaw" in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Explanation.
B.Finding.
C.Origin.
D.Fault.
(3)The passage is mainly concerned with ________.
A.the misunderstanding of the word bug
B.the development of the word bug
C.the public views of the word bug
D.the special characteristics of the word bug

【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Recently I failed an exam. However, when I came out of my teacher's office, I told myself, “Smile! It's not so serious.”
I smiled a big smile and it (work) a little, really.
Everyone gets (disappoint) sometimes. I used to be always influenced by pressure and I was often in low spirits. But one day I meet a sentence in the Bible, “Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself, let the day's own trouble be enough for the day.” suddenly occurred to me that (worry) about a problem doesn't help. Why not just give a big smile and face up to the trouble?”
Now every time I want to cry, I remind myself that (laugh) is better than tears and anger. I (deep) believe that there's something magical about a smile. A smile helps me recover confidence and gives me courage to move on.
Remember, whenever you're faced with a setback, difficulty you come across, all it takes is determination and you can feel happy again. Smile at life, it will shine on you.
