    Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked

    A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with a word or phrase that best fits the context.

    When I was in high school, I didn’t know anything about engineering. At that time, when the car I drove needed repairing, I was afraid to take it to the . Because honestly, the mechanic could have me an electric can opener and said, “This is part of your car and it’s -----pay me to fix it.” Then I wouldn’t have known any better.

    At the end of my junior year of high school, I heard about a summer program to interest girls in engineering. The six-week program was free, and students were college credits and a dorm room at the University of Maryland. I applied to the program, not because I wanted to be an engineer, but because I was looking forward to and wanted to stay away from my parents for six weeks.

    I was accepted to the program and I earned six engineering credits. The next year I entered the university as an engineering student. Five years later I had a degree and three good job offers.

    I can’t help shaking I hear about studies that show women are when it comes to math. They imply that I am a little stupid. I’m not, but I know that if I hadn’t met with that summer program, I wouldn’t be an engineer.

    When I was growing up, I was told, as many students were, to do what I was best at. But I didn’t know what that was. Most people think that when you are something, it comes easily to you. But this is what I discovered: just because a subject is to learn, it does not mean you are not good at it. You just have to grit your teeth and work hard to get good at it. Once you do, there’s good that you will enjoy it more than anything else.

    1.A. engineer B. salesman C. factory D. mechanic

    2.A. shown B. given C. brought D. taken

    3.A. old B. broken C. fixed D. dirtied

    4.A. designed B. performed C. controlled D. described

    5.A. sent B. afforded C. offered D. awarded

    6.A. independence B. success C. happiness D. beauty

    7.A. until B. when C. since D. before

    8.A. at a disadvantageB. at a loss C. in a trap D. in a shock

    9.A. never B. do C. hardly D. nearly

    10.A. good at B. bad at C. interested in D. devoted to

    11.A. easy B. funny C. difficult D. interesting

    12.A. will B. feeling C. desire D. chance

    阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

    Exploit your parking space

    An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to ￡200 or ￡300 a week. Put an advertisement(广告)for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark.

    Rent(出租)a room

    Spare room? Not only will a lodger(房客)earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government?backed “rent a room” program, you won't have to pay any tax on the first ￡4,500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.

    Make money during special events

    Don't want a full?time lodger? Then rent on a short?term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. Grashpadder can advertise your space.

    Live on set

    Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked.

    Use your roof

    You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment(around￡14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25?year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.

    1.If you earn ￡5,000 from renting a room in one year, the tax you need to pay will be based on ________.

    A．￡300 B．￡500

    C．￡4,500 D．￡5,000

    2.Where can you put an advertisement to rent out a room during a big event?

    A．On Letpark. B．On Roomspare.

    C．On Grashpadder. D．On Roommateeasy.

    3.If you want to use energy free, you have to ________.

    A．sign an agreement with the government

    B．pay around ￡14,000 for the equipment

    C．sell the roof to some energy companies

    D．keep the roof unchanged within 25 years

    4.For whom is the text most probably written?

    A．Lodgers. B. Advertisers.

    C．House owners. D．Online companies.

    Lead poisoning (铅中毒) occurs when lead is present in high levels in the blood of a person. It is one of the most common medical problems found in children. And it’s important to recognize the presence of lead in children’s bodies because lead is very harmful.

    Children have the tendency to go around and put things in their mouths like paint peelings (油漆层剥皮). This is one of the main causes of lead poisoning. It has also been found that children born in poor families have higher chances of getting exposed to lead.

    Some of the common symptoms of lead poisoning in children are headaches, stomach pains, hair loss, muscle weakness and weight loss, etc.

    Lead poisoning can have severe effects and can lead to heart diseases, kidney diseases and neurological (神经系统的) problems. It can also cause mental dullness and a low IQ level. There have been cases where lead poisoning proved to be terminal for children.

    It’s difficult to easily recognize whether a child is affected by lead poisoning, as the symptoms of this disease can occur due to some other medical problems. Therefore, children under the age of six should regularly be checked to know the level of lead in their blood through blood tests. It’s possible to completely cure a child with lead poisoning through treatment. Usually the oral medicine chelator (螯合剂) is given to the children. Sometimes, children are given an injection (注射) for reducing the lead level. Children who have very high level of lead in their blood would need treatment for a long period of time and would also be put on a special diet.

    Parents have to take certain precautions to lower the chance of lead poisoning in children. Cleaning the house regularly and removing shoes at the door after coming in from outside will prevent the lead particles from entering the house. Children should be put on a healthy diet, containing high proportions (比例) of calcium and iron, such as eggs, milk, fruits, potatoes, etc, which helps to keep the lead levels in control in the children’s bodies.

    In short, it’s a must to be cautious and careful and protect your children from the horrible consequences of lead poisoning.

    A month after Hurricane Katrina, I returned home in New Orleans. There lay my house, reduced to waist-high rains, smelly and dirty.

    Before the trip, I’d had my car fixed. When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill, she noticed my Louisiana license plate. “You from New Orleans?” she asked. I said I was, “No charge.” She said, and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet. The next day I went for a haircut, and the same thing happened.

    As my wife was studying in Florida, we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage (抵押贷款) on our ruined house. We looked at many places, but none was satisfactory. We’d begun to accept that we’d have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while, when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kennedy in California. He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for Slate, the online magazine and wanted to give us (“no conditions attached”) a new house across the lake from New Orleans.

    It sounded too good to be true, but I replied, thanking him for his exceptional generosity, that we had no places to go back. Then a poet at the University of Florida offered to rent his house to me while he went to England on his one-year-paid leave. The rent was rather reasonable. I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Kennedy, and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months.

    Throughout this painful experience, the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity. It’s almost worth losing your worldly possessions to be reminded that people are really nice when given half a chance.

    1.The garage employee’s attitude toward the author was that of ________.

    A. unconcern B. sympathy

    C. doubt D. tolerance

    2.What do we know about James Kennedy?

    A. He was a writer of an online magazine.

    B. He was a poet at the University of Florida.

    C. He learned about the author’s sufferings via e-mail.

    D. He offered the author a new house free of charge.

    3.It can be inferred from the text that ________.

    A. the author’s family was in financial difficulty

    B. rents were comparatively reasonable despite the disaster

    C. houses were difficult to find in the hurricane-stricken area

    D. the mortgage on the ruined house was paid off by the bank

    4.From Paragraph 4, we can know that the author’s new house ________.

    A. was located in the University of Florida

    B. was offered by a poet and the rent was expensive

    C. was sponsored by James Kennedy with its 8-month rent

    D. was well-equipped but the rent was low

    5.The author learned from his experience that ________.

    A. worldly possessions can be given up when necessary

    B. generosity should be encouraged in some cases

    C. people benefit from their sad stories

    D. human beings are kind after all
