Some people say that city living in the 21 st century is stressful and offers no advantages, but I don’t agree with them completely.
With the development of high-tech and the improvement of living qualities, more and more people crowded into city, which leads to the uncontrollable urbanization (城市化). Because of this, some of the largest cities must be fairly oppressive(压抑的) places in which to live if you are short of money or unemployed. However, for those with much income, a city provides colorful environment which enables people to enjoy their modern life. In that case, I believe the advantages of urban living far outweigh from its shortcomings.
Regarding shopping, as for me, rather than click on the Internet to get what I want, I prefer to windowshop. All kinds of shopping malls and supermarkets located in city centre really content me. What’s more, a large city’s service even covers numbers of the surrounding towns and benefits many people.
In terms of entertainment, city residents are usually spoiled for choice, from amusement park to sport stadium, whoever you are will find exactly what you need. Maybe going to a concert tonight and visiting museums tomorrow. City always contains various activities and full of energy.
City also provides better opportunities with so many choices and challenges. Cities with universities offer high-standard education so that graduates from these places always get ideal jobs with considerable salary. Every day in the business district, you can see a fierce competition among those large companies, while there are exactly places that may give birth to talents.
Many people may complain about the traffic jam or pollution in the city, but I think with some useful measures to take, our city will be more habitable rather than stressful.
1.What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?
A. City living in the 21 st century is stressful.
B. City provides more conveniences and pleasures.
C. City living brings great trouble to the youth..
D. City is gradually dying out as a matter of fact.
2.The advantages of urban living are________.
A. much income and colorful environment
B. quantities of population and shopping centers
C. great entertainments and better education
D. strong measures and fresh air
3.City residents are usually spoiled for choice because they______.
A. have no more choices for amusement
B. can hardly find what they like to do
C. are so many kinds of entertainment
D. will spend more money in a way
4.What’s the attitude of the author to the disadvantages in city?
A. Disappointed B. Hopeful
C. Amazed D. Cold-hearted

Dear friends,
It is a great honor to share with you my experience in making English speeches.
To tell a truth, my spoken English used to be a big headache for me. Due to my terrible pronunciation, I often got misunderstood or even laughed by others. I never succeed in speech competitions. Therefore, I refused to give up. Every day I spent two hours listen to English programs to improve my oral skills. To my joy, my effort was finally paid off. I made steadily progress and managed to win prizes in some speech competition.
So problems can help us grow if we deal with it bravely and properly. This is which I've learned from my experience.

Imagine that you’re looking at your company-issued smartphone and you notice an e-mail from Linkedln: “These companies are looking for candidates like you!” You aren’t necessarily searching for a job, but you’re always open to opportunities, so out of curiosity, you click on the link. A few minutes later your boss appears at your desk. “We’ve noticed that you’re spending more time on Linkedln lately, so I wanted to talk with you about your career and whether you’re happy here,” she says. Uh-oh.
It’s an awkward scene. Attrition (损耗) has always been expensive for companies, but in many industries the cost of losing good workers is rising, owing to tight labor markets. Thus companies are making greater efforts to predict which workers are at high risk of leaving so that managers can try to stop them. Methods range from electronic monitor to well-designed analyses of employees’ social media lives.
Some of this work may be a reason to let employees to quit. In general, people leave their jobs because they don’t like their boss, don’t see opportunities for promotion or growth, or are offered a higher pay; these reasons have held steady for years.
New research conducted by CEB, a Washington-based technology company, looks not just at why workers quit but also at 
when. “We’ve learned that what really affects people is their sense of how they’re doing compared with other people in their peer group, or with where they thought they would be at a certain point in life, says Brian Kropp, who heads CEB’s HR practice. “We’ve learned to focus on moments that allow people to make these comparisons.”
Technology also provides clues about which star employees might be eyeing the exit. Companies can tell whether employees using work computers or phones are spending time on (or even just opening e-mails from) career websites, and research shows that more firms are paying attention to these things. Large companies have also begun searching for badge swipes (浏览痕迹)---- employees’ use of an ID to enter and exit the building or the parking garage---to identify patterns that suggest a worker may be interviewing for a job.
1.What can we infer about Linkedln in the text?
A. an e-mail B. a job from the Internet
C. a world-famous company D. a professional social network
2.According to the passage, how can companies prevent workers from quitting?
A. Companies can analyze workers’ social media lives.
B. Companies need to find out workers likely to quit.
C. Companies must try to reduce the cost of losing good workers.
D. Companies should be stricter with workers.
3.According to the research by CEB, which of the following might be the most probable reason for workers to quit their jobs?
A. Workers are always doing comparisons.
B. Not seeing opportunities for promotion.
C. To find a higher-paid job.
D. They don’t like their bosses.
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To show a new trend in the job market.
B. To stress the role of new technologies.
C. To make a review on a phenomenon.
D. To tell us the leader’s concerns.

科目：高中英语 来源：山东省2017届高三4月份阶段性自测英语试卷 题型：阅读理解
There is always something that happens in the world that everyone fears will happen to their town, city or country: natural disasters. The scariest part of it is that no one will ever see it coming. Though technology helps us prepare, but it never actually tells the people when it's going to hit. It is always estimated but the result is never 100% accurate.
However, that is not the point of this article. Two different natural disasters in two different parts of the world have happened in the past few weeks. One was a major flood that has hit Louisiana in the United States. The other was an earthquake that hit Amatrice, Italy. However, there is a major difference in the news coverage of the two tragedies.
As for the flooding in Louisiana, it is reported that this disaster is the worst to hit the United States since Super-storm Sandy and it'll cost at least $30 million. In only the first couple of weeks, 13 people had died. However, like me, many people did not hear about this tragic event. I did not learn about it until about three weeks after it happened.
In Italy, however, it covered all media instantly. The earthquake in Italy happened on Tuesday morning. That same day, I was on Twitter and that was all that was over the news feed. Every other post was about the earthquake. Some would have the opinion that Amatrice, Italy was one of the most beautiful towns in that country. I got in deep sorrow because there were more people killed in this quake than the flooding. So far, they have a total of 73 dead and over one hundred missing.
I understand that technically the earthquake in Italy was worse than the floods in Louisiana. However, I believe that if a natural disaster happens, they all should be equally covered and taken equally seriously. We are one world united and should be there for all of the people who are in need of help. We may not be able to accurately predict disasters but, we can surely lend a hand out for the needy.
1.What really concerns the author about the two natural disasters?
A. The death and the injured. B. The media report.
C. The government's responsibility. D. Their economic loss.
2.Why did the author learn about the flood so late?
A. He didn’t care about the flood.
B. He felt nervous about the news.
C. The media didn’t cover it in time.
D. The flood frightened the author a lot.
3.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Italy isn't good at predicting the natural disasters.
B. All natural disasters should be covered equally.
C. The world should be united into one instantly.
D. America should help Italy predict natural disasters.
4.How is the text mainly developed?
A. By making a comparison. B. By following the time order.
C. By listing some examples. D. By analyzing the causes.
