【题目】阅读下列短文,从所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
B
A new weapon is on the way in the fight against smoking in Europe. Soon when smokers buy cigarettes they might see a shocking photo of a blackened lung or a cancer patient staring back at them from the packet.
Some boys may think of smoking as cool and sexy. Their friends won't agree when they see their packets of cigarettes lying on the table. The European Union announced on October 22, that it had chosen 42 photos that showed the damage cigarettes could do to the body. It called on member nations to put these pictures on packets to discourage smokers. To catch the attention of teenagers, the special packets warn of long-term medical dangers, like cancer. Short-term effects, like bad skin, are also on the list.
“The true face of smoking is disease, death and horror. That is the message we should send to the young,” said David Byrne, an EU health official. “Hopefully these pictures will shock students out of their love for cigarettes.”
The EU head office hoped the pictures would work better than current written warnings on packs of cigarettes. The warnings included“smoking kills” and “smoking can lead to a slow and painful death.”
So far, Ireland and Belgium have shown interest in the photos. Canada has used similar pictures and warnings on cigarette packs since 2000. The country has recently seen a fall in the number of smokers. According to studies, smoking is the single biggest cause of avoidable death in EU. Every year more than 650,000 smokers die, more than one person a minute.
(1)Why will the “new weapon” hopefully work better according to the passage?
A.Because it is easier to understand.
B.Because it shows both dangers and effects.
C.Because it can be seen by the smokers' friends.
D.Because it is more powerful to catch attention.
(2)The pictures chosen by the EU are supposed to work on ______.
A.young smokers
B.smokers in Ireland and Belgium
C.all smokers
D.young smokers' friends
(3)What can we learn from the passage?
A.Canada has been the first to use the EU's “weapon”.
B.Many smokers don't quite believe the written warnings.
C.The new form of warning has already proved to work.
D.Smoking has caused more deaths than anything else in EU.
【答案】
(1)B
(2)A
(3)C
【解析】本文主要讲述了在欧洲反对吸烟的斗争中,一种新的形式正在运用中,当吸烟者购买香烟时,他们可能会看到一张黑肺的照片,或者是一个癌症病人从包中盯着他们看的照片。吸烟的真实面目是疾病、死亡和恐怖。欧盟总部希望这些照片比目前的香烟包装上的警告更为好。这些警告包括“吸烟杀死”和“吸烟可以导致一个缓慢而痛苦的死亡。
(1)B细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句话“To catch the attention of teenagers, the special packets warn of long-term medical dangers, like cancer. Short-term effects, like bad skin, are also on the list.”故选B。
(2)A细节理解题。根据段意可知主要是针对年轻的吸烟者说的。故选A。
(3)C推理判断题。根据“Canada has used similar pictures and warnings on cigarette packs since 2000. The country has recently seen a fall in the number of smokers.”故选C。

【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。
There's no one reason why women return to school. Going back to school provides private and public benefits. College graduates, generally enjoy higher salaries, (employ) more consistently, and work in nicer conditions. College-educated people vote more, give more to charity, and rely (little) on government support.
Making the switch from (support) to supporting oneself can be a challenge, often a necessary one. Financial (dependent) for women is key, says Nancy Schlossberg, professor at University of Maryland. “I think important for women to do some direct achievement, because chances are that women will live alone in later life, either divorced never married.”
To Schlossberg, education is critical in the long run. She says, “You are going to do much better than before you have a good education; you are going to be happier than before on condition that you have education that enables you to do what you have to do in life. The question is you are ready at this time to go for it.

【题目】阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四项个选项(A,B,C和D)中选出最佳选项。
D
More and more Americans are showing an interest in healthy and locally-produced food. As the interest increases, raising chickens has been gaining popularity in some American cities.
“Look, we get three eggs this time.”
Collecting eggs is a daily pleasure for the Hurst family. Naomi Hurst says her family started to raise chickens in back of their home in Maryland a month ago.
“We have wanted to try having backyard chickens for a couple years now. And really just didn't have the time to build my own coop(鸡笼;鸡舍) and look out where to buy chickens. And then we met Rent a Coop,” said Naomi Hurst. Rent a Coop is a chicken rental business. Tyler Phillips launched the company with a partner 18 months ago. It comes with a mobile coop on wheels, two egg-laying hens, feed, bedding, water bowl, feed bowl, and our 24-hour chicken hotline. You can call with any questions. The price is 185 dollars for four weeks. After the four weeks passed, individuals can extend the rental agreement, return everything or purchase the animals and supplies.
Tyler Phillips designs and makes the coops. He says he wants to do as little damage as possible to the environment.
“We always try to have as many recycled materials as possible. And I want the coops to be safe for kids. I want the chickens to be comfortable and they have access to the grass while being inside the coop. I want it to be easily movable, light weight,” he said.
Some cities require people have large pieces of land, if they want to raise farm animals. Others require an agreement with neighbors, limit the number of chickens, or, even ban the birds.
Tyler Phillips expects that would change as interest in small poultry (家禽) coops grows.
“I see cities around the D. C. area changing laws almost monthly and different cities will change the law to being prochicken(赞成养鸡). That is happening all around the United States,” he said,
He believes that there will be chicken rental businesses in most American cities within five years.
(1)According to the passage people raise chickens probably to __________.
A.save the living cost
B.reduce farmers' burden
C.solve the employment problems
D.get safe and healthy food
(2)The Hurst family used to have trouble in ____________.
A.building a website for raising chickens
B.building the coops and buying the chickens
C.finding some place to raise the chickens
D.persuading the neighbours to accept their idea
(3)We can learn from the passage that __________.
A.you can enjoy the Rent a Coop service after 18 months
B.you can search online for any questions related to raising chickens
C.you can pay for keeping the supplies and the chickens for ever
D.you can pay 185 dollars a week for renting things to raise the chickens
(4)Tyler Phillips designed and made the coops ____________
A.based on the environmentally friendly concept.
B.based on the government's supporting policy.
C.to help advertise the organic and local food.
D.to meet his neighbors' need of raising chickens.
