Winter is dangerous because it’s so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place so easily. Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill. Ice might be hiding under the melting (融化) snow, waiting ahead to send you off the road. The car coming to you may suddenly slip(滑) across the road.
Rule No.1 for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly (平稳地). Sudden movements can make a car very difficult to control. So every time you either start or stop your car, increase or reduce your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Suppose you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn’t spill (溅) it.
Rule No.2 is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the further down the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to gently stop your car. Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think. Generally, allow twice of your usual stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow than usual, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all time and you will not get into trouble.
小题1:The writer tries to _____ in this passage.
A.show his dislikes about bad winter weather
B.give information about winter weather
C.ask people not to drive in winter
D.advise people about safe driving in winter
小题2:According to the passage, the writer thinks that _______.
A.people should not drive in the snow
B.drivers should think more about problems in winter driving
C.people drive too fast in winter
D.winter drivers should stop their cars less
小题3:In the passage the writer talks about a cup of coffee ______.
A.to show how important smooth movements are
B.to ask the drivers to bring some soft drinks with them
C.to tell the drivers to be more relaxed
D.to show how it can be spilled
小题4:Which of the following is NOT true?
A.Traffic accidents take place easily in winter.
B.Fog and melting snow often cause car accidents.
C.The stopping distance on ice is as long as the usual one.
D.In winter you should drive your car with great care.

小题1:D
小题2:B
小题3:A
小题4:C
本篇讲的是冬天冰霜路上开车危险,同时介绍了避免危险的方法。
小题1:细节判断题 第二、三段的开头:Rule No.1 和No.2就是介绍了避免危险的方法。
小题2:主旨大意题 根据文章开头和最后一句话Try to stay in control of your car at all time and you will not get into trouble.可知作者的意图。
小题3:判断推理题 根据第二段Suppose you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn’t spill (溅) it.可知,把一杯咖啡作为参考物,来测试开车的平稳度。
小题4:细节理解题 根据最后一段中“Generally, allow twice of your usual stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow than usual, and even more on ice.”可知路上有冰的时候停车的距离最起码是平时的两倍。因此C是错的。

In the professional world, oral communication skills in the workplace, which is the art of using speech to convey information, thoughts and feeling to others, is important for the success of any organizations.
The 21st century has been considered to be an era of communication. The way we convey our thoughts is of great importance in building relationships. In the workplace, there are employees of diverse cultural and educational backgrounds. This makes team working on a difficult task, but with a clear understanding of the task to be achieved, all members work towards the same goal. Misunderstandings, conflicts and differences in opinions are easily managed when there is a clear flow of communication between team members.
With proper communication, a close relationship and trust build among the employees, therefore promoting excellent working conditions. An atmosphere of support and cooperation is promoted by properly conveying expectations of the management team to the employees and vice – versa (相反的情况). Therefore, developing oral communication skills is important to success in life ahead.
How to improve oral communication? In the business world, individuals are expected to be confident about their beliefs and ideas. Therefore, they must include words like “in my opinion”, “as far as I know”. While improving skills on oral communication, people in a workplace must learn the art of listening. In addition, one must also have a positive body language during conversations. A person with a smiling face and positive attitude can raise the spirits of everyone around him. When we’re talking to someone, we must give the other person an opportunity to talk as it improves our listening ability.
Communication is an art and it can be improved by working on it constantly. Since it is not an overnight work, one needs to learn it by observing people who are good at it.

My 17-year-old daughter went off to college and having her away from home brought back memories of watching Peter Pan when she was little. In the classic TV production, one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night lights, she takes one last look at the bedroom and says, “Dear night lights, protect my sleeping children.” As a mother, I know how much she loves her children.
It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting (适应) well after a short period of homesickness. For us, though, it’s another story. Like most parents, I love checking in on my children at night. But now she’s gone, and I find nighttimes the hardest. I miss her most at night.
In my neighborhood, most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off. We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.
For us moms, seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And it’s not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didn’t get any easier. “You feel like something has been taken away from inside you,” said one of them.
I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile, as I keep my cellphone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night, I like to think that messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.
小题1:The writer was deeply impressed by the scene in Peter Pan because ___________.
A.she watched the scene with her daughter
B.the scene was very exciting and interesting
C.the scene taught her and her daughter a good lesson
D.the scene showed a mother’s deep love for her children
小题2:After he daughter went to college, the writer ___________.
A.didn’t get used to the change for a long time
B.often cried as she missed her daughter so much
C.realized she hadn’t done enough for the daughter
D.failed to have a good sleep every night
小题3:What is the underlined word “melancholy” in Paragraph 3 similar in meaning to?
A.Happiness.B.Anger.C.Sadness.D.Excitement.
小题4:We can infer that watching Toy Story 3 ___________.
A.made the writer know her daughter didn’t want to go to college
B.improved the relationship between the writer and her daughter
C.helped the writer realize how important education was
D.made the writer miss her daughter even more

For the last couple of weeks, I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me. My every waking hour was consumed(消耗) by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted(轻松地) movie, but to no avail. It was only when I turned to meditation(沉思)for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!
The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping(单脚跳) along the path singing, "I'm singing in the rain", a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain(限制) our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress.
Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.
If you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.
小题1:The author felt depressed because she __________.
A.couldn't consume her waking hour.
B.had not seen a film for a long time.
C.had not finished her work on time.
D.had worked on a hard job for too long.
小题2:The author walked in a nature reserve in the rain in order to__________.
A.take photos.B.find a solution to the project.
C.hop along the path.D.cheer herself up.
小题3:The underlined part "to no avail" in Paragraph 1 probably means
" __________.".
A.unsuccessfulB.unrelated(不相关的)C.uninterestingD.unexpected
小题4:In the author's opinion, __________.
A.a bath can make people relaxed.
B.depression is usually caused by hard work.
C.walking in a busy city centre harms people's health.
D.adults should express their inner feelings freely.
小题5:The last paragraph mainly serves as a(n) __________.
A.explanationB.suggestionC.introduction D.reminder

After squeezing into a small space with two other friends, I had a strong sense of pride to be the mission commander of this space flight. Our objective was very important. Scientists had been arguing about the possibility of existence of life on Mars for decades. Some of them said that the pictures of Mars, taken during various space explorations, had given them sufficient proof that only intelligent being could have made those amazing structures. Others maintained that what looked like a face in the pictures was nothing more than a flash of lights. The arguments continued without conclusion. To prove this once and for all, a decision was made to launch an expedition into space.
My crew and I were the best among our group of trainees. We practised hard together, training hand in hand, filled with a single aim—flying safely to Mars and back. This feeling was tense and everyone was highly excited, as the day drew nearer. We were anxious to see what Mars was like but the uncertainty held us with fear.
The last moment finally came. The countdown proceeded, and soon we were deep in space, floating about freely and went about preparing the spaceship for the intended landing. Since the trip was scheduled to take about three years, we slept in a special room to prevent ourselves from aging. So I drifted off to sleep peacefully and suddenly I felt someone woke me up. We must have arrived at Mars and my crew was trying to wake me up.
I opened my eyes slowly and saw a familiar face. “Why would my English teacher wake me up?” I thought. Oh, no. Instead of medals and praise that I should receive, all I had was a severe warning against sleeping in class and then I spent the rest of the lesson standing in a corner.
小题1:Why did the author feel proud of himself?       (No more than 10 words)  (2 marks)
                                                                      
小题2:What was the objective of the mission?         (No more than 11 words)  (2 marks)
                                                                      
小题3: How did they feel as the day to explore space drew near?
(No more than 8 words)  (3 marks)

I am an e-mail user.When I first started to use the e-mail system.

These methods are very simple.I have some friends who are very clever with computers.From time to time,they teach me new tricks for managing my e-mail.I've also learned to transfer(转存)some messages to a disk so they don't fill up my mail files(文件夹).Then I can read them later and maybe use them in my work.I'm still amazed at what e-mail can do for me!

“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣橱)?”Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”
“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t your great-great grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?”“Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.”“Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank into a faint (晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.
小题1: According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means         .
A.a family honorB.a family secret
C.a family storyD.a family treasure
小题2:What can we learn about some Australian’s ancestors from Paragraph 2?
A.They were brought to Australia as prisoners.
B.They were the earliest people living in Australia.
C.They were involved in some crimes in Australia.
D.They were not regarded as criminals in their days.
小题3:Jessica’s mother fell down into a faint because she was          .
A.knockedB.frightenedC.injuredD.surprised
小题4:Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?
A.She was curious about it.B.She planned to keep it for fun.
C.She needed it for her school task.D.She intended to scare her parents.
小题5:Jessica’s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because        .
A.they were crazy
B.they were overexcited
C.they realized their misunderstanding
D.they both thought they had won the quarrel
