public transport,everyone I saw said,“Gosh,youre brave!”but it never occurred to me to go any other way.Driving in Britain is such a dull experience these days.There are far too many cars on the road,nearly double what there were when I first came here,and in those days people didnt actually drive their cars.They just parked them in the driveway and cleaned them once every week,or so.About twice a year they would “get the car out” for a pleasant drive to visit relatives or take a trip.Now everyone drives everywhere for everything,which I dont understand because there isnt a single feature of driving in Britain that has even the tiniest measure of enjoyment in it.Just consider the average multi-storey(多層的) car park.You drive around for ages,and eventually find a space that is exactly two inches wider than the average car.Then,because you are parked next to a pillar(柱子),you have to climb over the seats and end up squeezing out of the passenger door,in the process transferring all the dirt from the side of your car to the back of your smart new jacket.Then you go hunting for some distant pay-and-display machine,which doesnt give change.And thats just one tiny part of the driving experience.There are all the other annoyances of motoring,like traffic lights on busy roundabouts(環(huán)狀交叉路) that never let you advance more than 20 feet at a time,and motorway service areas where food is much more expensive.Motorized vehicles are ugly and dirty.They occupy every pavement,turn ancient market squares into disorderly and untidy groups of metal,and cause petrol stations and other discouraging places to appear in great numbers.They are horrible and awful and I wanted nothing to do with them on this trip.1.Why did the author decide to travel by public transport?A.Because he didnt have a car.B.Because he hated driving in Britain.C.Because he wasnt familiar with roads in Britain.D.Because he was inspired by how people used to travel.2.What did the author mainly complain about in Paragraph 2?A.The inconvenience of parking cars.B.The unreasonable parking fees.C.The uncleanness of car parks.D.The improper use of cars.3.How is the last paragraph developed?A.By providing examples.B.By making comparisons.C.By following the order of time.D.By following the order of space.4.What would the author probably talk about in the paragraph that follows?A.The terrible places caused by vehicles.B.The bother caused by driving cars.C.His travels by public transport.D.His past driving experience.導(dǎo)學(xué)號(hào)92550060BSummer CampsMake your

actually fake(假的)，like the “close”button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the“close”button because they don't have the patience to wait.But lifts'“close” buttons are a complete trick，at least in the USthe doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US，making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter safely.Only repair workers can use the buttons to speed up the door­closing process if they have special keys.But to normal lift riders，the buttons aren't completely useless.According to psychologists，fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.“A sense of control is very important.It reduces stress and increases well­being，”said Ellen JLanger，a psychology professor at Harvard University.Experts also added that a lot of buttons that don't do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.For example，pedestrian crosswalk buttons don't live up to their names either.Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster，but that was before computer­controlled traffic signals were introduced.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little“white lies”，they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close，it is considered to be worth the effort.1What is the author's purpose in writing the text?ATo describe different fake buttons.BTo explore the functions of fake buttons.CTo analyze various habits of pushing buttons.DTo explain the disadvantages of fake buttons.2What can we learn about the“close”buttons on a lift in America?AThey work when people press them hard.BThey were designed for a sense of control.CThey never speed up the door­closing process.DThey take the safety of the disabled into account.3What can we infer about pedestrian crosswalk buttons?AThey can make people feel better.BThey help computers work faster.CThey can control the traffic signals.DThey help pedestrians cross safely.4Which may be the best title for the passage?AButtons in the USABButtons Always LieCButtons May Not WorkD“Close”Buttons on Lifts【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，主要介紹了我們平時(shí)生活中所見(jiàn)到的按鈕可能是不起作用的?！倦y句分析】Put psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware

sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter safely”可知，美國(guó)電梯里的“關(guān)閉”按鈕是為了確保殘疾人能安全地通過(guò)。故選D。3A考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control”和第六段中的“For example，pedestrian crosswalk buttons don't live up to their names either”可知，人行橫道按鈕也沒(méi)有實(shí)現(xiàn)其功能，但可以讓人們感覺(jué)好一點(diǎn)，故選A。4C考查標(biāo)題判斷。通讀全文內(nèi)容可知，本文主要講述了有些按鈕只是形式上的，而不具備真正的實(shí)際功能。故C項(xiàng)“按鈕可能不起作用”最符合文章主旨。故選C?！静寤ā?2016·長(zhǎng)春質(zhì)量監(jiān)測(cè)二)Two biggest wealth in life:your talent and your time.Talent increases and time decreases.Our life,in a way,is trading time with talents.Wasting time means our time decreases while our talents do not increase.1. Get to know how you use your usual time and make improvementsTake a week and write down what you do every 30 minutes every day and make it into categories.After a weeks recording,youll see which part consumes most of the time.2.And you could come up with a revised timetable for your next week. Use fragment(碎片) time and “dead time”By time recording,youll be amazed how much time youve wasted in waiting for the bus,queuing,walking,etc.You could really put that time to better use,3.Use your fragment time for insignificant matters so that you could have more time for things that really matter. 4 Therere always things to be done every day,and the thing we could do is to identify whether theyre urgent or important.The things you need to do for the day rest only on the urgent as well as important things.Dont become slaves to urgent but unimportant things.Use the 20%-80% principle At the most efficient time,20% of time could generate 80% of efficiency and on the contrary,at the least efficient time,80% of time could only generate 20% of efficiency.We should be doing important work at the most efficient time.That time period differs from person to person,5.Yet generally speaking,its round 10 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. After being familiar with those tips,the next thing would be to implement and hold on to it.Do the right thing at the right time,and we shall make our time to its fullest!A.but everyone has a peak effect timeB.Make an analysis about the ways you could improve your efficiencyC.like memorizing English words or making necessary phone callsD.depending on your mentality and physical conditionE.That is why we shall save every second and make it countF.Pick three things you must finish todayG.Finish as many tasks as possible.短文改錯(cuò)(2017·河南豫南九校期末質(zhì)量考評(píng))A little kid fell into a lake while she was playing with her little friends.They were too frightening to know what to do next.Unfortunately,a pretty

single feature of driving in Britain that has even the tiniest measure of enjoyment in it.”及第三段中的annoyances,horrible and awful可知,作者決定乘坐公共交通工具旅行是因?yàn)樗憛捲谟?guó)開(kāi)車(chē)。2.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可知,作者抱怨停車(chē)的種種不便:找停車(chē)位費(fèi)時(shí)間、停車(chē)位狹窄、停車(chē)場(chǎng)收費(fèi)機(jī)器不僅遠(yuǎn)而且不提供找零。3.A寫(xiě)作手法題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“.like traffic lights.and motorway service areas.”及“They occupy.appear in great numbers.”可知,作者通過(guò)舉例說(shuō)明開(kāi)車(chē)是件令人厭煩的事情以及機(jī)動(dòng)車(chē)對(duì)城市面貌的破壞。4.C篇章結(jié)構(gòu)題。根據(jù)本文最后一句中的“.I wanted nothing to do with them on this trip.”及文中作者運(yùn)用大量筆墨證明在英國(guó)開(kāi)車(chē)是件令人厭煩的事情可推測(cè),下文最有可能描述的是作者這次乘坐公共交通工具旅行的經(jīng)歷?！窘忸}導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是應(yīng)用文。文章介紹了三項(xiàng)形式特別的夏令營(yíng)活動(dòng)。5.B詞義猜測(cè)題。由上文的magical及下文介紹的形式特別的夏令營(yíng)活動(dòng),再根據(jù)該合成詞的成分可推斷,畫(huà)線詞的意思是“獨(dú)特的”。6.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文中的“.learn about the environment and discover how to use their super powers to protect it.”及earth-friendly activities可知,該活動(dòng)的主要目的是提高露營(yíng)者們的環(huán)保意識(shí)。7.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文中的fairy tale-themed camp及favorite storybooks可知,在該項(xiàng)活動(dòng)中,露營(yíng)者們很可能讀神話(huà)故事。.【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文為說(shuō)明文。時(shí)間是人生最大的財(cái)富之一,那么該如何充分利用時(shí)間呢?本文為我們提供了幾個(gè)充分利用時(shí)間的方法。1.E根據(jù)上文的“Wasting time means our time decreases while our talents do not increase.”可知,我們不能浪費(fèi)時(shí)間,應(yīng)節(jié)約每一秒,讓它過(guò)得有意義。故選E項(xiàng)。2.B根據(jù)上下文可知,通過(guò)記錄一周的時(shí)間分配情況,找出大部分時(shí)間用于做什么,進(jìn)行分析后確定如何更有效地利用時(shí)間,從而制定出合理的時(shí)間表。故選B項(xiàng)。3.C根據(jù)上文可知,應(yīng)將等公交、排隊(duì)等時(shí)間利用起來(lái),C項(xiàng)給出了兩個(gè)利用這些時(shí)間的例子。故選C項(xiàng)。4.F此處為小標(biāo)題,各小標(biāo)題的格式應(yīng)保持一致,該空應(yīng)為祈使句;根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容可知,做事要分主次,不能成為緊急卻不重要的事情的奴隸。故選F項(xiàng)。5.D根據(jù)上文的“That time period differs from person to person”可知,高效時(shí)間段因人而異,要看個(gè)人的身體和精神狀況。故選D項(xiàng)。.A little kid fell into a lake while she was playing with her little friends.They were too frightening to know
