题目列表(包括答案和解析)
Modern inventions have speeded up people’s loves amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boats (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.
All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientist; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.
However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.
1.The new products become more and more time-saving because .
A. our love of speed seems never-ending
B. time is limited.
C. the prices are increasingly high.
D. the manufactures boast a lot.
2.What does “the days” in Paragraph 3 refer to ?
A. Imaginary life B. Simple life in the past.
C. Times of inventions D. Time for constant activity.
3.What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology?
A. Critical B. Objective. C. Optimistic. D. Negative.
4.What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The present and past times.
B. Machinery and human beings.
C. Imaginations and inventions.
D. Modern technology and its influence.

If you want your land to keep fertile, you must try to stop soil from being carried away by water or wind. When soil is taken away by flowing water or blowing winds we call it soil erosion. Ways have been found to stop soil erosion, and this is known as soil conservation. One way of stopping soil erosion is to grow small plants such as grass. These plants are referred to a cover crops, whose roots hold the soil tightly together. The rain water can not wash away the soil. When trees and tall bushes are planted at the edges of an open field, soil erosion by strong winds can not take place. The trees and bushes, which act as a very big and firm wall, protect the open land from the winds. The way to stoop soil erosion on slopes is to build terraces on the slope of hillside and mountainside. When the slope of a hillside is cut into “step”, water carrying soil can not run straight down the terraces, which are used to slow down the speed of the flowing water containing much soil in it. In this way most of the soil in the water is left behind on the terraces, much soil in it.
1.What takes place in soil erosion?
A. Flood happens to the fertile land
B. A large quantity of the soil loses away gradually.
C. Terraces are built on the slope of hillside or mountainside.
D. Plants are grown to protect the open land
2.“Cover crops” in this passage means _________.?
A. grass B. trees and bushes C. plants life and an area
E. covering plants that produce grain or vegetables
3.Besides growing small plants, another method to fight against soil erosion is to ___________.
A. build terraces B. build walls C. plant trees D. plant tall bushes
4.According to the passage, trees and tall bushes are planted around an open field ________________.
A. because their roots hold soil tightly
B. to stop soil from being blown away by winds.
C. Because soil erosion causes terrible damages to crops
D. To keep the balance of nature
5.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. What Causes Soil Erosion
B. The Importance of Erosion
C. Rain Erosion and Wind Erosion
D.Erosion and the Way of Tight against Erosion
After my husband died suddenly from a heart attack, my world crashed around me. I was overwhelmed (不知所措) with the 1. of earning a living, 2. the little children.
One 3. evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd (牧羊犬) on our 4.. This wonderful strong animal 5. to enter the house and make it his 6. . The children took an instant liking to “German” and begged me to let him in. I agreed to let him sleep in the basement until the next day, 7. we could inquire around the neighborhood for his 8.. That night I slept 9. for the first time in many weeks.
The following morning we 10. to find German’s owner, but with no results. On Sunday I took the children on a picnic and we drove off without him. When we stopped to get gas at a local station, we were 11. to see German racing to the gas station after us. 12. was he going to be left behind.
On Monday morning I let him out for a run when the children got ready for school. As evening came and German didn’t appear, we were all 13. . The next Friday evening, German was back on our doorstep. Again we took him in, and again he stayed 14. Monday morning. This pattern repeated itself every weekend for almost 10 months. We grew more and more 15. of German. We stopped thinking about 16. he belonged — he belonged to us. As German became part of the family, he considered 17. his duty to take up his position by the front door and remained there until the morning.
Each week, between German’s visits, I grew a little stronger, a little braver; every weekend I enjoyed his 18. . Then one Monday morning we 19. his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. He never came back. I believe German was sent because he was needed, and because no matter how 20. and alone we feel, somehow, somewhere, someone knows and cares. We are never really alone.
