66.D考查主旨大意.全文主要介绍了法国总统为挽救报纸行业.帮助年轻人养成看报的习惯而采取的一项措施. H [2010·安徽合肥地区高校附中高三第二次联考] 词数:257 体裁:记叙文 难度:3 Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager’s intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe. “The safety issue is a big one, says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn’t alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer - “That’s not a problem here. - Mahoney began to feel uneasy. “No crime whatsoever? comments Mahoney today. “I just don’t buy it. Nor should he: in 2008 the U. S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 600,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to colleges, says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation. But getting accurate information isn’t easy. Colleges must report crime statisticsby law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be obvious, warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc. , the nation’s leading campus safety watchdog group. To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions. 查看更多

阅读下面一篇文章,文章后有七个选项,从A、B、C、D、E、F、G的七个选项中选出五个符合每一段文章主旨大意的选项。

To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear. (56)__________.

Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit motionless before his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings.Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about. (57) _______________.

The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s.The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand.What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage. (58)_________________.

A good teacher works in quite a different way.His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so.The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience, which is his class.He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along. (59)_________________.

I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage play because their brains wouldn’t keep discipline: they could not keep strictly to what another had written. (60)_______________.

A.Characteristics of a good teacher

B.Qualities of a good actor

C.What makes up a good teacher

D.What makes a teacher famous

E.It is not easy for a good teacher to become a good actor.

F.The image(印象)of a good teacher 

G.Duties of a good teacher

It’s not only rocket scientists and journalists who are following the course of “Shenzhou V”,or “Divine ship/vessel V”.There are also lexicographers,or dictionary compilers.The flight of the Spacecraft last week might help put some new words into orbit.?

One of them is a western media coinage used to refer to the Chinese astronauts.It s a combination of the Chinese pinyin “taikong”,meaning space,and the English “astronaut”,from classical Greek:“star sailor/navigator”,for people who was going into space as a career.

In the Reuters and AP reports of October 15,“taikonaut” was used as a proper noun.For example:The long March 2F rocket carrying “taikonaut” Yang Liwei lifted off into a clear blue sky over the Gobi desert at 9 am and entered its orbit 10 minutes later.?

A Long March 2F rocket called the Shenzhou V—“divine ship” in Chinese—carried a single “taikonaut” named Yang Liwei,38,following Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin and American Alan Shepard in 1961.?

The word “taikonaut” is not a newly coined term.It first emerged in November,1999,when China launched its first unmanned “Shenzhou Ⅰ” spacecraft.?

At that lime,some English news media predicted that China would soon launch a manned space flight and created the word “taikonaut” for the Chinese astronauts.It was then borrowed by the Germans media.?

But it was left out of mainstream dictionaries,such as the Merriam—Webster Dictionary and Cambridge Advanced English ?

Learner’s Dictionary.?

However,the launch of the “Shenzhou V” will most likely help boost its status since there is already a word referring specifically to Russian astronauts in the dictionary entry.?

An astronaut of Russian (or the former Soviet Union)is called a “cosmonaut”,from the Russian “kosmonaut”.The word was derived from classical Greek:“kosmonaut” (universal)and “nautes”.One might argue that “cosmonaut” is a Russian variation on the earlier word “astronaut”.

On March 14,1995,US astronaut Norman Thagard became the first American to ride into space on-board a Russian launch vehicle,arguably making him the first American cosmonaut.?

And if this trend of coinage continues,more English variations for astronaut will appear as more countries are able to send their own astronauts into outer space,what would Western journalists call an astronaut from India or Africa we’ll have to wait to see.?

66.Give the best title of the passage.(within 10 words)?

解析:主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了因为中国载人航天事业的发展而派生的一个新英语词汇“taikonaut”的由来。?

  I like watching TV very much for I think it has many advantages.

  First of all,   1  .After a day of hard work, we need a good rest.Watching TV can make our mind and body not tired any more because of the pleasant music and TV plays.

  Besides,   2  .There are many kinds of entertainment, such as sports activities, singing and dancing concerts, plays and films all over the world at every time.It is not a problem now to travel because the transportation is so convenient now.We need at least over ten hours to fly from New York to Paris, a week by train from Beijing to Moscow and an hour to drive from Queens District to Manhattan District.But within just one second, It’s not possible for us to go to every place to enjoy all the activities within a short time.

  Most important,   3  .Our children can learn every kind of subjects through the educational programmes and the special reports on TV, and it’s easy for them to learn Chinese from a Chinese teacher in Beijing and to learn Russian lessons from a Russian teacher in Moscow.Even we can learn how to behave well from the TV plays.Meanwhile, a teacher can teach millions of students without a huge classroom.

  We all worry at times, and there is probably no way to stop worrying forever.There are some ways to stop right now, however.The following tips on how to stop worrying come from experience, because I’ve always been a bit of a worrier, and I had to learn some good techniques for stopping this energy-sucking habit.Here are five of the best.

  1.________.Any action towards a goal tends to diminish(使减小) worry.Thinking too much about your goals or plans will cause you worry and stress.Of course you should plan well, but when planning is carried towards worrying, it’s time to start doing something positive.

  2.________.When you want to stop worrying too much about a problem, you need to make decisive decisions, and even bad decisions may be better than doing nothing.Often you will immediately resolve(解决)the stress when you, for example, finally decide to give up that job, buy that house, or make that phone call.Nothing makes you with worry as much as decisions waiting to be made.Make them now, or at least start gathering the information you need to make them.If they proved to be bad decisions, just make new ones.

  3.________.Too many things going on in your head?Put them on lists and you may feel better.It works well for many of us worriers.When you are thinking too much about something, and you stop to plan a time to work on it, or just put it on a list, it is easier to let go of it for now.Write down that phone call you have to make on tomorrow’s list, and you’ll feel less worried now.You’re basically creating“mental categories”.In fact, just saying to yourself,“There’s nothing I can do about this until Monday,”can put a worry into a category of“nothing to worry about right now.”

  4.________.To get away worry when there are real problems, try to face them head-on(正面的/地), and decide them quickly.I once had to sue(起诉)someone over a business matter, and I was worrying about it for weeks.When I finally just filed the papers, got on the phone, and came to an agreement, my stress was gone.Actually, my worrying began to disappear as soon as I started acting.

  5.________.Planning in mind is a great way to relax and to stop worrying, but what if you don’t have the time for more involved meditative practice?Don’t worry.Just try this:close your eyes, let the tension out of your body and take several deep breaths through your nose.That’s it.Want even easier meditation?Try brain wave entertainment CDs that do all the work for you.Just pop on the headphones and they’ll relax you by slowing your brain waves.

  Try the above techniques.Make habits out of whichever ones work best to stop your worries.They need to be habits because nothing works if you forget to use it.In fact, until they become habitual, you may want to carry a list of your favorite techniques for eliminating worry.

A.Make decisive decisions

B.Deal with problems directly and quickly

C.Plan in mind to get worry away

D.Use mental categories

E.Put worries on the lists

F.Take action now
