【题目】One day I walked down to get to my car, thinking about what I had to accomplish and scolding myself for being late for work, but surprisingly the car was nowhere to be found.
This was at 8 a.m. in the morning. I made trips to all the towing places and police stations, all the time thinking that it was towed (拖走)by cops (巡警).By around 10 a.m., the cops decided that it was actually stolen. After filing a report with them, I finally got to work thinking how my day was completely messed up.
Later in the day I went to pick up a rental car at Enterprise only to realize that my license was missing, too, along with my car. I told the enterprise guy the whole story and he offered to take me to the closest DMV and get a duplicate (副本) license. 1 was totally shocked. I did not know why this complete stranger would want to take some time off his day to help me. He actually took me to DMV, got a duplicate and then rented me a car. I was upset the whole day because of the events happening to me but somehow this simple act of kindness from a complete stranger made it all worth it. It cheered me up and made me forget all the troubles of the day. I was so moved by this kind act that the next day I made sure someone else got a similar surprise. I took some smiley shaped chocolates and left them on some of my colleagues’ desks.
There is still a lot of goodness out there in the world. We just need to take the time to notice it. I hope that this story would inspire many others like me to do more acts of kindness.

【1】B考查细节理解。This was at 8 a.m. in the morning. I made trips to all the towing places and police stations, all the time thinking that it was towed (拖走)句意:那是早晨八点,我去了所有的拖车场和警察局,我一直以为车是被拖走了。由本句可知刚开始的时候我是以为车被拖走的,故答案为B。
【2】A细节理解题。I told the enterprise guy the whole story and he offered to take me to the closest DMV and get a duplicate (副本) license.和He actually took me to DMV, got a duplicate and then rented me a car. 句意为:我告诉公司的人事情的原委,他主动提出来要带我去最近的“DMV”办一张驾照的副本,并且他最终帮我做了这件事。由此可知,DMV是办驾照的政府机构。

【题目】根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。
Scientists investigated why Ebola virus is so deadly when it spreads from animals to humans and then from human-to-human contact. The research team looked at the Zaire Ebola virus in an animal system to understand how it gains strength. This virus is responsible for the current outbreak in West Africa. They found that initially the animal systems were not affected by the virus, but succeeding transmission(传送) into other animals caused the virus to “hot up” and become more severe.
The team analyzed the viruses at different stages and were able to identify several changes in its genetic material that were associated with increased disease.
Professor Julian Hiscox, who led the study from the University's Institute of Infection and Global Health, explains: “The work tells us that the evolutionary goal of Ebola virus is to become more fatal.”
“We were able to show through genetic analysis which parts of the virus are involved in this process. The information we have gathered will now allow us to monitor for such changes in an outbreak as well as develop future treatment strategies.”
Professor Roger Hewson, leading the study from Public Health England, Porton Down, said: “Ebola virus is such a destructive infection to the people affected by the disease and the economy of West Africa.”
“Our understanding of Ebola virus biology is way behind that of other viruses and our cooperation shows how we can bring together our specialists' skills to close this knowledge gap.”
Professor Miles Carroll, a co-author of the work, said: “This study has allowed the team to be at the forefront of developing methodologies to analyze patient samples recently taken by the European Mobile Laboratory from West Africa to understand disease evolution during the current outbreak.”
(1)What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?
A.How severe Ebola virus is.
B.How Ebola virus spreads.

A.In the first stage, the virus hurts its victims much.
B.As the virus spreads, it'll change and become more and more deadly.
C.The research in Ebola virus is more advanced than that in other viruses.
D.The scientists have a negative attitude to the research in Ebola virus.
(3)The underlined word “fatal” has the closest meaning to ______.
A.optimistic
B.deadly
C.common
D.fantastic
(4)Where can we probably read this passage?
A.In a science report.

【题目】阅读理解
The English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many different expressions.
One such example is the word matter. In fact, matter can mean just about anything. It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.
Let's get to the heart of the matter —a matter of principle(原则).
If someone says that you owe(欠) him $50, but you don't, a friend might say, “Well, you could pay him the $50. It's not that much money. Then you won't have to hear him say it anymore. But if you do not owe him the money, do not pay him the money. It's a matter of principle.
There is another way to use the word matter. But be careful with your choice of words.
If you ask someone, “What's the matter?”, it shows you are worried about the other person. But saying, “What's the matter with you?” has a completely different meaning. And it usually sounds rude (粗鲁的). In fact, when you say, “What's the matter with you?” you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid.
Another expression that could sound rude is to say, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here, it depends on the context, and how you say it.
Let's say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work. That person answers with, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here, it means he or she does not care. And it sounds rude.
But saying, “Oh, you pick where we eat dinner. It doesn't matter to me.” does not sound rude. In this situation, “it doesn't matter” shows you are easy-going(随和的).
No matter how you look at it and what you say, matter is a very useful word. And it's only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of matter.
(1)We can infer from the text that the word matter ________.
A.has a wide use
B.can mean money
C.is the most used English word
D.has the most different expressions
(2)What is the author's suggestion in Paragraph 4?
A.Every penny counts.
B.Stick to what is right.
C.Follow your friend's advice.
D.Be careful when making friends.
(3)The underlined word “context” in the text probably means“
A.choice
B.person
C.situation
D.answer
(4)The author develops the text mainly by ________.
A.using examples
B.giving instructions
C.describing his experiences
D.discussing research findings

Make sure the lights can store enough energy.
Different solar lights can store different amounts of energy Therefore, you should choose lights that are able to store enough energy to last for a few hours or more,at least those that will last from nightfall throughout most of the night and part of the morning.
A.They should take a few minutes each to get into the ground
B. Without sunlight, solar lighting is useless.
C.It means some will stay lit longer than the others
D.Buy many solar lights instead of just one or two.
E.Choose something a bit more expensive for once.
F.That doesn't mean you have to spend all your money.
G.Solar lights are becoming more and more popular.

A hobby is an inverstment of time. It also can be an investment of money and commitment. Many people choose to developing more than one type of hobby. When it comes to choosing the hobby, consider the following factors.
Hobbies are usually an activity of some sort that brings out a certain skill that you have. When you have a talent like painting or woodworking, it can be easy to determine which hobby suits your skill. Skill can be developed and challenged as you go along. It is not a necessary requirement. A hobby is fitting because you love it, not because you're a professional at it.
Some people particularly enjoy taking part in hobbies that they can do in a group with others. It can be a lot more fun to become a member of a hobby group than to sit alone in your basement. It's important to share interests and network with other hobby enthusiasts that do what you do.
Hobbies are generally an activity that you undertake because of the joy it brings you. Of course many people have discovered the joy that also comes with a hobby that earns you a living. Just make sure you make the choice that fits your lifestyle and personal preference.
But most of the skilled hobbies like art, building or writing have a series of lessons or tutorials that you can take to further your skills. In some cases it's a really good idea to take lessons, especially if you are clueless as to where or how to begin. Step by step books for most hobbies can often be found in bookstores as well.
A. However, hobbies don't have to be skill related.
B. Most hobbies can easily be done within your own home, at your leisure.
C. Look one up or start your own.
