36.A、C意思不符,可排除,learn可直接与Spanish相连,不能加his,故选B,意为“提高……水平”。答案为B。 
37.in person意为“亲自”,是与后文中的“speaking on the phone”对照的。A项slowly“慢慢地”;B项in public“公开地”;D项carefully“仔细地,认真地”,均不符合题意。答案为C。 
38.“have (some/no) difficulty (in) doing sth”是固定用法,意为“做某事有/没有困难”。答案为A。 
39.根据上下文,可知此处应为一个转折关系的连词,用“however”。答案为D。

41.从下文中Andy把起飞时间弄错了,说明Andy没有理解the clerk说的话,从上文他能面对面和别人交流而不能通过电话,我们可知道应是called。答案为A。 
42.also是“而且,还,也”,是指the clerk除了告诉Andy他问的问题外,还告诉他一些另外的信息。答案为B。 
43.时间段+earlier表示提前多长时间,before是在某个点时间之前,later,after不符合题意,答案为B。

48.从上句中他提前到达,表明Andy不喜欢“匆忙”,A、B不合语意,应排除,delay是“耽搁,推迟”并不能在文中体现。答案为C。 
49.句意为让the clerk看他的票,他已有票,buy(买)order(定)不合题意,provide是“提供”,他并不是把票让给the clerk,故用present“向……显示……之意”。答案为B。 
50.很容易看出,由于Andy的票已过期了,他却要找那架已飞走的飞机,他当然是astonished(惊奇的)故用with astonishment。答案为A。 
51.应用时间状语,因为句意是说明时间。答案为D。

Targeting teens
But using the Web also makes teens a target. Posting too much personal information for those millions of cyber eyes to see can cause some big problems and can even invite a threat to your life.
As Mary learned, not everyone on the Internet is who he or she says they are. Adults will sometimes pose as other teens, posting fake photos and nice messages to gain trust. They use their fake identity to access the personal information of others, such as home address, phone number, or school name.
"That's not the most common scenario", says David Finkelhor, a sociology professor at the University of New Hampshire. "Only 3 percent of teens aged 10 to 18 who use the Internet report being asked to meet offline. But the danger is real.
Safety measures
Mary's My Space profile is set to "private", which means that only the people she adds under the "friend" category can access her page. She also doesn't have any pictures of herself on her site. The only self-identifying material she has posted is her name, grade, and a list of hobbies.
"People can only add me if they know my last name or my e-mail, "Mary says. " I don't want random people to see my profile. I just go online to talk to my friends."
Stay safe and have fun online
Experts say almost 90 percent of U.S. Teens are online. But not everyone knows how to surf the Web in a smart way. With these tips, you can have fun, stay safe, and avoid embarrassment!
Pick a safe password. Make sure your password is something that other people won't be able to guess. Use numbers in between letters. "spar123ky" is better than "sparky 123."
Pick a safe username. Make sure yours doesn't say too much about you, "Happygirl13" is better than "AliceWaters13." Don't include your name, age, or where you are from. Never tell a stranger your name, school, address, age, birthday, phone number, or friends' names.
56.Who is most likely to be a victim online?
A.A liar.      B.A teenager.       C.A stranger.      D.An honest person.
57.In Mary's opinion, _________.
A.one shouldn't trust everyone online B.one shouldn't trust anyone online
C.there are many liars online      D.all people online pretend to be others
58.One of the safety measures mentioned in the passage is that _________.
A.one should not chat with strangers
B.one should not post his or her photos online
C.one should tell his parents about strange information
D.one should keep his web as a secret
59.Why are numbers used when we pick a safe password?
A.Numbers are easy to write.
B.Using numbers are cool online.
C.The safe password is more unlikely to be guessed.
D.Numbers are popular online.

Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand (品牌) of product on the shelf.
Colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged (包装)in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.
When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package—blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.
The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.
It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 per cent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote (推销) their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius (天才) to sell it.”
64. Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text?
A. The cost of its package.    B. The price of the product.
C. The colour of its package. D. The brand name of the product.
65. The underlined part “the colours turned the customers off”(in Para. 3 ) means that the colours _____.
A. attracted the customers strongly         B. had weak effects on the customers
C. tricked the customers into shopping      D. caused the customers to lose interest
66. Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?
A. The way to promote goods.            B. The discovery of a genius.
C. The team to produce a good product.      D. The brand name used by successful producers.
67. Which of the following would be the best title for this text?
A. Choice of Good Products              B. Disadvantages of Products
C. Effect of Packaging on Shopping        D. Brand Names and Shopping Tricks

  In the 19th century England people liked to go to the seaside. In those days, ladies wore long bathing dresses, and men wore bathing suits. Women did not walk about on the beach in their bathing dresses. They hired a bathing machine. A bathing machine was used for changing in, and for taking the bather down to the sea. It cost 2 pence to hire a machine and an attendant (f~ ~). When she had paid, the bather climbed up the back steps and got into the bathing machine. Then she changed into her bathing dress. When she had changed , the machine was pulled down to the sea. The bathing machine stopped in the water and the bather went down the front steps into the water.

Host family accommodation,or living with host families,remains popular among language travel students for its unique advantages.These days,host families are trying to offer more in terms of quality,for they still have something to worry about.
Host family accommodation is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study,cultural communication and cost of living.Staying alongside host families enables students to get enough practice for the short time of their studying so that their language acquisiton is likely to become faster.Living in host families also has the advantage of students of being able to spend a lot of time communicating with their “host parents”,and get to know the local way of life,people and culture.Another advantage is that host family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive.It attracts students for it ensures them a family type of living at a low cost.
The advantages,however,have not prevented host families from worrying.On one hand,some host families are losing their unique selling point.The probelm is that the majority of bosts in big cities,now generally single and young,have less time available for students,but the selling point for host family accommodation is communication practice.On the other,students’ expectations have risen.They are becoming more demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation,as they come mainly from high socio-economic groups in their own countries.
To get out of the difficult situation,host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service.They are trying to make living conditions better,including broadband Internet service,private bathroom,and access to plenty of hot water for long showers.They are also providing students with structured family activities.
It is believed that host family accommodation will keep the popularity vote with language travel students.

Dear Friend,
The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.
And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year ... plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.
Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary folks like you and me.
But am I good enough?
I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.
Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude(潜能), and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.

You will complete at least one manuscript(手稿) suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.
I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.
Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.
Free test and brochure
We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.
Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.

科目:高中英语 来源:不详 题型:阅读理解

Play is the basic business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great impor­tance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy (婴儿), every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. The main function of toys is to suggest, encourage and play. To succeed in this, they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back to again, and again. Therefore it is important to choose suit­able toys for different stages of a child’s development.
In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited (遗传的) abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby’s ability to benefit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully.
In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability: Bricks and jigsaws (七巧板) and construction toys; painting, scribbling (涂鸦) and making things; sand and water play;toys for imaginative and pretending play — the first so­cial games for learning to play and get on with others.
But at the third stage of play development — from five to seven or eight years old — the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.
Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and val­uable, which lead up to new hobbies, but their significance has changed — to a child of nine or ten years old, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.
小题1:according to the first passage we know that as a child grows up________.
A.he should be allowed to choose his own toys
B.he should be given the same toys
C.he should be given different toys
D.he should be given fewer and fewer toys
小题2:according to the passage, the abilities a child has inherited from his parents________.
A.determine his character
B.will not change after the age of three
C.partly determine the standard he is likely to reach
D.to a large extent determine the choice of toys
小题3:We learn from the passage that a child has boundless curiosity________.
A.when he is twoB.when he is around four
C.when he is sixD.when he is eight
小题4: The passage is mainly about________.
A.the importance of pre-school education B.the importance of schooling
C.the role of play in a child’s developmentD.the choice of toys for youngster

Rarely have I experienced a reaction like that which came about following the idea of banning private education. One of those who contacted me to disagree with the idea was 17 year old Anirudh Mandagere. He got 10 A*s at GCSE and is currently studying English, French, Math and History at a private school in Manchester. Here is his response:
For me, the idea that all private schools should be banned is not only ridiculous and unrealistic, but goes against the idea of liberty. We must have the freedom to choose between state-funded and privately educated schools. If parents pay taxes, surely they should be able to choose whether they send their children to a state-funded or a privately-funded school.
The economic impacts of abolishing private education are vast. Banning private schools would obviously contribute to a great transfer to state schools. Many state schools are already overburdened; do they really need more pupils? Abolishing private education would lead to higher taxes for taxpayers since more money would be needed to educate the 7% who were previously private educated. In the times of economic crisis, should the taxpayer need to fork out more money to pay for their education? There would also be a great rise in unemployment of the staff who works at private schools.
It is noted that, in general, private schools have better grades at GCSE and A level than state schools. Yet, why do people view this as a bad thing? The higher private school grades eventually force the government to endlessly improve state education so that the middle-classes do not totally abandon state education for private education. This competition creates reform and progress within state schools and eventually promote them! If the private schools did not exist, where would be the impetus for state school improvement?
Government should not simply ban a system which produces results. It should learn from it and use the private education model as a basis for the state education model. Abolishing a successful system will not help anybody, learning from a successful system will.
小题1:In the eye of Anirudh Mandagere, parents have the right to ______.
A.criticize state-funded schools
B.pay taxes for the promotion of private schools
C.choose the way their children receive education
D.advocate the competition between state schools and private ones
小题2:According to the passage, banning private education will ______.
A.obviously contribute to lower taxes
B.not cause the state schools to be overburdened
C.force the government to boost state education
D.lead to many people losing their jobs
小题3:The underlined word “impetus” in the fourth paragraph probably means ______.
A.motivationB.preventionC.participationD.assessment
小题4:Compared with state schools, private ones ______.
A.educate a little fewer students B.conduct better than all state ones
C.are better received by the publicD.are more competitive on the whole
小题5:Which of the following statements will Anirudh Mandagere agree with?
A.His wonderful performance results from the education his private school offers.
B.Without the existence of private schools, state ones wouldn’t get improved much.
C.Private education is a good system to make students successful in life.
D.Private schools are supposed to be sponsored more than state ones.

Creativity is the key to a brighter future, say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we   36   not have a product that we now think of as of great importance: a new type of   37  . Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together.   38  his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his   39   company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking about and developing new   40  .
Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it   41   a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not   42   that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.  43  , schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators   44  creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but cannot recognize ways to use it in new   45  . They may know the rules correctly, but they are   46   to use them to work out practical problems.
It is important to give children   47  . From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the   48   decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is ___49___the most important character of creative people is a very strong  ___50    to find a way out of trouble.
