“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before, ” says Patsy Rowe, “ Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达). ” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint（抱怨）about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.
Some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don, t work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous（匿名的） rude messages by email.
However, rudeness is never acceptable, Don, t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you, re in touch with won, t recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.
We shouldn′t blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more help if we′d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.
小题1:What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph I?

A．People can tell good from bad behavior.

B．Radar is able to observe human behavior.

C．People care little about their behavior.

D．Radar can be used to predict human behavior.

小题2:Some people are less willing to deal with humans because

A．they are becoming less patient

B．they are growing too independent

C．they have to handle many important messages

D．they have to follow an evolutionary step backward.

小题3:The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is

A．Ridiculous

B．disgusting

C．acceptable

D．reasonable

小题4:What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．We should applaud good behabior.

B．Technology can neber be blamed

C．We should keep pointing out mistakes.

D．Technology will take over lives one day.

小题1:C
小题2:A
小题3:B
小题4:A

主旨大意：这篇短文主要讲述了随着生活节奏的加快，人们变得越来越无礼，很多人不再关心礼貌问题。现在有越来越多人喜欢借助于电子产品来做一切事情，比如用手机匿名的恶意的短信。但是如论如何，这种粗鲁的行为是不可接受的，出现这个问题，我们需要谴责的不是这些电子产品，而是要不断检查我们自己的行为，认识到什么才是正确的行为习惯。
小题1:推理题。联系前文People are ruder today，当今人们比以前更粗鲁了，及下文描述，可知选Ｃ，人们不太关心他们的行为了。
小题2:根据第二段To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. 描述，可知他们对于真实的人打交道变得更没耐心了。故选Ａ。
小题3:细节题。根据倒数第二段Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting. 描述，可知用匿名的短信骚扰别人是残忍的和令人讨厌的，故选Ｂ。
小题4:主旨题。这段主要试讲我们应该了解我们的缺点，但是如果公开的认可好的行为习惯，将会更有帮助，故选A，我们应该鼓励好的行为。

Good nutrition (营养)and a balanced diet will help your children grow up healthily .No matter how old your kids are , you can take steps to improve nutrition and to encourage smart eating habits .Here are some suggestions.
Family Meals
Family meals are comforting for both parents and kids. Children like to guess what they are going to have and parents get the chance to introduce new food to children and to find out which food they like and which ones they don’t.
Teens may turn up their noses at your plan of a family meal. It is not surprising because they’re trying to establish independence. Yet studies find that teens still want their parents’ advice, so use the mealtime as a chance to reconnect.
Stocking up (储备) on healthy food
Kids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly what they can get at home. That’s why it’s important to control the supply lines — the food which you serve for meals and have on hand for snacks. You should have enough fruits, vegetables, lean meat and other good sources of protein, such as eggs and nuts, and healthy snacks, such as yogurt, peanut butter and whole-grain biscuits.
Being a good example
The best way for you to encourage healthy eating is to eat well yourself. Kids will follow the lead of the adults they see every day. By eating fruits and vegetables and avoiding fast food and sugary drinks, you’ll be sending the right message.
No conflicts over food
Parents might find themselves shouting at children to get them to have healthy food in front of them. This in fact can make children dislike what they are aske d to eat.
Get kids included
Most kids will enjoy making the decision about what to make for dinner. Talk to them about making choices and planning a balanced meal. It can help them make good decisions on their own about the food they want to eat.
小题1:Family meals provide the chances for parents to do the following things EXCEPT ________.

A．guessing what kids are going to have

B．finding what kids like and dislike

C．introducing new food to kids

D．reconnecting with kids

小题2:What does the phrase “on hand” mean?

A．Being dealt with.

B．Out of one’s reach.

C．Made by persons instead of machines.

D．Close by and ready when needed.

小题3:According to the passage, which should NOT be done by parents?

A．Form a healthful eating habit themselves.

B．Force kids to have vegetables.

C．Stock up on some fruits at home.

D．Make meal plans with kids.

小题4:The best title for the article is “________”.

D．How to grow up healthily

Taste is such a subjective matter that we don’t usually conduct preference tests for food. The most you can say about anyone’s preference is that it’s one person’s opinion. But because the two big cola companies—Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola are marketed so aggressively, we’ve wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-Cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting.
We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic (传统型) or Pepsi, Diet (低糖的) Coke, or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought they’d have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand.
We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants’ choices with what mere guess-work could have accomplished.
Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed they could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse----only 7 of 27 identified all four samples correctly.
While both groups did better than chance would predict, nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so tiredness, or taste burnout, was not a factor. Our preference test results suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.
小题1:According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to ________.

A．show that a person’s opinion about taste is mere guess-work

B．compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks

C．find out the role taste preference plays in a person’s drinking

D．reveal which cola is more to the liking of the drinkers

小题2: It is implied but not stated in the first paragraph that ________.

A．the competition between the two colas is very strong

B．blind tasting is necessary for identifying fans

C．the purpose of taste tests is to promote the sale of colas

D．the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companies

小题3:The word “burnout” (Line3, Para. 5) refers to the state of _________.

A．being seriously burnt in the skin

B．being badly damaged by fire

C．being unable to function because of excessive use

D．being unable to burn for lack of fuel

小题4:The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ________.

A．emphasize that taste and price are closely related to each other

B．recommend that blind tasting be introduced in the quality control of colas

C．show that taste preference is highly subjective

D．argue that taste testing is an important marketing strategy

科目：高中英语 来源：不详 题型：阅读理解

It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was ,in his words, “a brilliantly（精彩地）written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.
And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out ),I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten . But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant.
The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky(I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either )and Herman Melville.
Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in –depth!
But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. k. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story(I’ll come clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).
小题1:How did the author find his friend a book liar?

A．By judging his manner of speaking.

B．By looking into his background.

C．By mentioning a famous name.

D．By discussing the book itself.

小题2:Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?

A．Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.

B．42% of people pretended to have read 1984.

C．The author admitted having read 9 books.

D．Dreams From My Father is hardly read.

小题3:By lying about reading, a person hopes to.

A．control the conversation

B．appear knowledgeable

C．learn about the book

D．make more friends

小题4:What is the author’s attitude to 58%of readers?

A．Favorable.

B．Uncaring

C．Doubtful

D．Friendly

More and more people think it necessary to study in an English-speaking country and it didn’t take long at all for me to decide to come and study in UK.
Having been in the school for 2 months, I’m getting used to school life, and I am starting to make the most of my time in here. School starts at 9 o’clock every morning, and every Monday, Wednesday and Friday we have long days, in which we have 9 lessons and school finishes at 4 o’clock. Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays we have short days, in which we have only 6 lessons and finish at 1 o’clock. After lessons, we have two hours of activity time, when you can choose from a wide range of activities, including all the major sports, such as rugby and football, and also the minor sports such as basketball and tennis.
As a boarder( 寄宿者)，the quality of food is something I consider very important, and Merchiston has not let me down. The school kitchens are run by a professional food company, and the quality of food is very excellent and also they take the healthy diet very seriously: I remember once I was once asked to take more salad for my meal by a member of the kitchen staff(员工) for I didn’t have enough vegetables. This brings another point of being a boarder: you need to learn how to look after yourself and be responsible(负责) for yourself. One of the huge advantages of being a boarder is that we can have breakfast in the school, which means we don’t have to pull ourselves out of bed as early as the day pupils!
小题1:The passage mainly tells us about _______.

A．the author’s school life in the UK as a boarder.

B．the author’s opinion of the school life in the UK.

C．the differences in school life between China and UK.

D．the boarder life in a Britain middle school.

A．has not enough time to study	B．likes to play tennis and basketball
C．went to the school two months ago	D．finishes school at 4 o’clock

小题3:How many lessons do the students have every week in this school?

A．15

B．45

C．27

D．18

小题4:The underlined words “let me down” in the last paragraph means _______.

A．made me disappointed

B．made me pleased

C．encouraged me

D．amazed me

小题5:As a boarder in the school, the author ___________ .
