题目列表(包括答案和解析)
As a disabled person, I often feel I have two jobs．There's my normal job working as a radio producer and there’s my role managing a team of carers （otherwise called personal assistants）．Of the two jobs, being a radio producer is considerably easier．One of the hardest aspects of being a PA employer and needing 24-hour care is that you never feel “off duty”．At any time a PA could present me with an issue or concern that needs handling．
There was an occasion when a previous PA came into my bedroom one morning to get me up and began complaining straight away that I had paid her the wrong amount that week．Another former PA once called me on a Saturday evening to ask if she could book some annual leave．
Once the booking is confirmed, the worry about not having a carer at all is replaced by concern over who the carer is．My agency tries very hard to send me carers who’ve helped me before, but obviously if you book agency care at short notice you just have to accept whoever is available．When an agency sends me a carer who is new to me, I have to explain my needs from scratch．
Of course, no organisation is never wrong and care agencies are no exception．When an agency makes a mistake and a carer fails to turn up, the impact on my life can be frustrating and distressing．It might mean I’m unable to get up in the morning and am stuck in bed for hours staring at the ceiling, waiting for a carer to arrive．It might mean I’m late for work or have to miss an appointment．Fortunately, over the last decade I’ve seen a considerable improvement in the quality of service care agencies provide．Most of the time, I’m pleased to say, the agencies I use are caring, organised and reliable．
When a home PA is off sick, life can be stressful but when a work PA is ill, the consequences can be more serious．At home it doesn’t matter if tasks don’t get done or take longer because the agency carer is less experienced at helping me than my permanent PAs．The only person affected is myself．However, at work I have to meet deadlines and if I don’t do my job properly, then not only will it create extra problems for my colleagues but it could also affect the quality of the programme I'm working on．
Luckily, I employ two full-time permanent PAs so when one is absent I usually still have the other one with me．On a normal day the work PAs share out the hours equally between them．
Covering a PA’s sickness not only creates practical problems, it can also be a financial headache．Agency care is expensive．For this reason, a PA who doesn’t need much sick leave is worth her weight in gold．
1．The passage is mainly about __________________．
A．social relation B．housework and work
C．social care D．sickness and treatment
2．Being a PA employer, the author feels she is always “on duty” because__________________．
A．she takes up two jobs---- working as radio producer and managing a team of carers．
B．some employees are either less experienced or considerably lazy．
C．she has to get up early in the morning and go to bed late at night．
D．a personal assistant may bring much trouble to her anytime．
3．What does the author think of the service of the care agencies?
A．The quality of service care agencies offer has improved a lot．
B．Her care agencies never make any mistakes．
C．Her care agencies take good care of her．
D．The service her care agencies provide needs considerable improvement．
4．Why can the consequences be more serious when a work PA is ill?
A．Because a work PA is less efficient than a home PA
B．Because the author’s poor work has an effect on her colleagues with no care．
C．Because on a normal day a work PA has much important work to do．
D．Because the absence of a PA can cause financial problems．
I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked 36 at me and said, “I love you.” I didn't know what to say. 37 several seconds all I could do was to stand there and 38 down at him . My first thought was that he must need 39 with his homework or he was trying to 40 me for some news.
Finally I asked, “What was that all about?” “Nothing,” he said. “My teacher said we should 41 our parents that we love them and sees what they say. It’s 42 .
The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had 43 .
“Basically, most of the fathers had the 44 reaction as you did,” the teacher said. “When I first 45 we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.
“The 46 is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of 47 . It is something all people 48 . What I'm trying to tell the children is that it's too 49 we don't all express those feeling. A boy 50 tell his dad he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how 51 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for a (n) 52 moment. And just 53 he pulled away , I said in my deepest , most manly voice , “Hey , I love you , too . ”
I don't know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time one of my children says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole 54 to think of the right 55 .

Nuclear power’s danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.
Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses. It can’t be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can’t detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can’t sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright (全部地) by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest level of radiation can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright, your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in a deformed way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.
This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or liable (易于) to serious illness as result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.
Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.
1．According to the author, the danger of nuclear power lies in .
A．nuclear mystery B．radiation detection
C．nuclear radiation D．radiation level
2．Radiation can hurt us in that it can .
A．affect the healthy growth of our children.
B．damage cells which grow into cancer years later
C．kill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediately.
D．all of the above.
3．The word “deformed” in paragraph 3 has the similar meaning with .
A．unnatural B．normal C．usual D．proper
4．What can we infer from the passage?
A．We can’t detect radioactivity even with modern equipment.
B．Only radiation at very high levels can kill an animal or human being.
C．If a few cells are only damaged healthy cells will take the place of dead ones
D．Radiation is harmful no matter what level it is.
5．What’s the author’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A．Discussing the cause of cancer.
B．Solving the mystery about radiation.
C．Emphasizing the importance of protection of radiation.
D．Introducing the nuclear power.
What is the relationship between violence and sports? Psychologists say that there are many reasons for violence at sports events. One is alcohol. Many fans drink a lot at games. When people drink, they are more likely to do abnormal things. Psychologist Dennis Brock says, “Quiet people become loud. Normally nonviolent people become destructive． ”
David Sampson, a sports sociologist, says, “These are often celebratory riots— a large number of very happy people mixed in with large amounts of alcohol. They don’t often seem dangerous in the beginning, but things get violent quickly． ”
Another reason for violence at sports events is the crowd. When individuals are in a large group of people, they can lose their sense of personal responsibility. Edward Hirt, a social Psychologist, says that research shows that people do things in crowds that they would never do alone. People in crowds feel anonymous — no one knows who they are. Crowds also make people feel powerful. They stop making personal decisions. They just follow the crowd. Social psychologists call this a “mob mentality．”
Dave Zarifis, head of public safety says, “Some people don’t even come to celebrate. They want to drink hard and make trouble. Someone does something stupid, and it grows from there. You get a mob mentality. People think it’s OK to do almost anything. They think, ‘There are so many of us and not enough of them． ’ ”
Social psychologist Dr. Sharon Kennedy says that there are some things officials can do to prevent violence. Making sure that an area is not overcrowded is very important. Officials should also think of games as “big parties．” Then they will prepare differently. Kennedy says that in Great Britain they are controlling the problem with cameras in all the stadiums. “When you know someone is watching, you are much less likely to behave badly． ”
Which of the following best gives the main idea of the first two paragraphs?
A. There’s a connection between violence and sports
B. One cause of violence at sports events is alcohol．
C. There are many reasons for violence at sports events．
D. David Sampson and Dennis Brock have the same opinion．
Which of the following does NOT belong to a “mob mentality”?
A．“I must drink some alcohol to stop myself feeling shy． ”
B．“ It’s safe to do what many people are doing． ”
C. “There are so many of us and not enough of them． ”
D．“ No one knows I’m doing this． ”
