请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后所给的ABCD四个选项中选出最佳选项。

  Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers.Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?

  Television has not killed reading, however.Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers.And books of every kind are sold more than ever before.Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment.Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbooks(平装本), which are quite cheap.A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.

  Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home.Every home should have a good dictionary.A good encyclopedia(百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject.Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbook, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems.Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.

(1)

[  ]

A.

TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge.

B.

cinemas are the best choice in getting information.

  Dear Friend,

  The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.

  “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 in 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.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s, genetically modified(GM,转基因)foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the word, mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis.But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would ,is it the best solution?

  Despite what it promises, GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any corp.In fact

  Studies show that the most crown GM croon.

  GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity.For instance, a report than analyzed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.

  Something else, however, has been on the rise, While GM seeds are expensive, GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides(杀虫剂).On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops.“The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production.But nether is true,”said Bill Christenson, President of the US National Farm Coalition.

  At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and politics.These indeed deserve our efforts and money.Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.

  As a matter of fact , scientists see better ways to feed the world.Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice.

(1)

The author develops the second paragraph mainly ________.

[  ]

A.

by classification

B.

by comparison

C.

by example

D.

by process

(2)

What does the underlined word “boost” in the third paragraph probably mean?

[  ]

A.

Control.

B.

Evaluate

C.

Obtain.

D.

Increase.

(3)

GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from ________.

[  ]

A.

practicing “green” farming

B.

use of less chemicals

C.

fair distribution of their crops

D.

using more crops for fuel

  The Model T was a car of that kind.It only cost $850.It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on.Doctors bought the Model T.So did farmers.Even criminals,They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation.Americans loved the Model T.They wrote stories and songs about it.Thousands of Model T's were built in the first few years.

“I Went Skydiving at 84!”

  As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that.I got a taste of that dream in 2011,when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday.But the experience turned out to be very dull.Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive.So when our retirement community(社区)announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.

  In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr.did it at age 80.Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health.A year went by and I heard nothing.But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners.I just couldn't believe it.Inspired by this.I deiced to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.

  On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane.My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience.The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn't frightened-I was really just looking forward to the experience.When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane.When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe.For a second I thought,“What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer.We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute(降落伞), then we just floated downward for about five minutes.Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt-much better than the hot air balloon.I was just enjoying it.

  Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life.I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don't stop living just because you are 84 years old.If there's something you want to experience, look into it.If it's something that is possible, make it happen.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  When milk arrived on the doorstep

  When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep.His name was Mr.Bastille.He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt.He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.

  Of course, he delivered more than milk.There was cheese, eggs and so on.If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles.And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.

  All of this was about more than convenience.There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen.Mr.Bastille even had a key to out house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn't freeze.And I remember Mr.Bastille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.

  There is sadly no home milk delivery today.Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete.Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.

  Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories.I took it home and planted it on the back porch(门廊).Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is.So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.

(1)

Mr.Bastille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer________.

[  ]

A.

to show his magical power.

B.

to pay for the delivery

C.

to satisfy his curiosity.

D.

(2)

What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?

[  ]

A.

He wanted to have tea there.

B.

He was a respectable person.

C.

He was treated as a family member.

D.

He was fully trusted by the family.

(3)

Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?

[  ]

A.

Nobody wants to be a milkman now.

B.

It has been driven out of the market.

C.

Its service is getting poor.

D.

It is forbidden by law.

(4)

Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?

[  ]

A.

He missed the good old days.

B.

He wanted to tell interesting stories.

C.

He missed it for his milk bottles.

D.

  Driving rules in Winter

  Winter is dangerous because it's so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place so easily.Fogs can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill.Ice might be hiding under the melting snow, waiting ahead to send you off the road.The car coming to you may suddenly slip across the road.

  Rules Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly.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 coffee on the seat next to you.Drive carefully so that you wouldn't spill it.

  Rules Number Two 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, and even more on ice.Try to stay in control of your car at all times and you will not get into trouble.

[  ]

A.
