After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgins chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料). The Smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we plained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter. As the vegetables started ing in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(燉菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour. the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dads pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didnt look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didnt offend the nose so much, either. I took a taste. It would never win a prize in a cooking petition, but it was surprisingly edible and we drank up every last drop of soup.1.Why did Dad clean Old Man Mocolgins chicken house regularly?A.

Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as172,000 a year. The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly ine 30,000 more than the Prime Minister earns. By analysing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week,40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18,it found that ,on most days, mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm. To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at 48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jobs”,with psychologist（心理學家）a close second.It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional（情感的） demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mothers Day. The emotional ,physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing（投入）in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.1. How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister?A.30,000. B.142,000.C.172,000. D.202,000.2. The biggest challenge for most mothers is from .A. emotional demand B. low pay for workC. heavy workload D. lack of training3. What is stressed in the last paragraph?A. Mothers importance shows in family all year long.B. The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.C. Mothers devotion to children can hardly be calculated.D. Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.4. What can we conclude from the study? A. Mothers working hours should be largely reduced. B. Mothers should balance their time for work and rest. C. Mothers labour is of a higher value than it is realised. D .Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.【答案】1. B2. A3. B4. C【解析】：這是一篇寫在母親節(jié)的文章，在母親節(jié)這一天，每個人都會對母親做出一些事，比如一束花等等，但是作者認為，母親這一職業(yè)值得全年的關注，因為它包含太多。1.B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的they would earn as much as172,000 a year.以及This would make their yearly ine 3000 more than the Prime Minister earns.可知，總理的工資是172000-30000=142000。故選擇B。2.A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第三段的It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional（情感的） demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.可知，選擇A。3.B 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的The emotional ,physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness.可知，選擇B，指母親付出的犧牲是巨大的，但是又是值得的。4.C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段的But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.可知，作者認為母親的重要性應該得到更多的關注，故選擇C?！倦y度】一般（四） As Internet users bee more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your puter will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how. In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a puter. The first group of people understood that the puter would save the information. The second group understood that the puter would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it. In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific puter folder (文件夾). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互記憶)". According to Sparrow, we are not being people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, puter users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesnt mean we are being either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.1. The passage begins with two questions to _. A. introduce the main topicB. show the authors altitudeC. describe how to use the Interne. D. explain how to store information2. What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrows team typed the information into a puter. B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.C. The first group did not try to remember the formation. D. The second group did not understand the information.3. In transactive memory, people _.A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of information C. organize information like a puter D. remember how to find the information4. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrows research? A. We are using memory differently.B. We are being more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.【答案】1. A2. C3. D4. A【解析】試題分析：文章主要講的是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)給人類的記憶帶來的影響?；ヂ?lián)網(wǎng)使用者越來越依賴互聯(lián)網(wǎng)來儲存信息，人們這樣做是否會喪失記憶事物的能力呢？專家懷疑互聯(lián)網(wǎng)可能正在改變人們的記憶內容和方式。1. A 寫作意圖題。根據(jù)第一段“Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.”可知，作者使用兩個問句是為了引出要討論的話題。2. C 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.”可知答案。3. D 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互記憶)"”可知，在交互記憶里，人們記得怎樣找到信息。4. A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing”可知，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)對人們的記憶產(chǎn)生的影響是它改變了我們使用記憶力的方式?！倦y度】困難（五）Trip 1 Black Bear CountThere have been fires in this area in the last few years and the Office of the National Park is not sure how many black bears are still living.

We spend all year looking forward to nice weather and long, hot days. All of winter, with its cloudy days and bitter cold, we dream of those endless days at the beach, lying on the sand and enjoying the bright and burning sun. And then, summer es, and it rains. As a child, I would wake up to rainy summer days and e close to crying. It wasnt fair. We suffered through months of school and experienced bad weather for those short ten weeks of freedom and pleasant weather. On those rainy summer days, I had nothing fun to do and could only sit inside, staring out at the rain like a bird in a cage. I was an only child, so there was no one else to play with. My father worked from home, so I was not truly alone, but he could not actively play with me since he was at work. It was those days that I would watch whatever was on television or read any books that I could find lying around. Id drag through the day and pray each night that the rain would not be there the next day.As an adult, though, my opinion of summer rain has changed. When you have to work every day, summer is not as exciting. Everything seems dull. Such a mindset makes you cheer for anything new or different. I spend the winter dreaming of summer and the summer dreaming of winter. When summer es, I hate how hot it is. And then I look forward to the rain, because the rain brings with it a cold front, which makes me fortable. Rainy days are still the worst days of the summer, but summer rain today means positively beautifuland considerably coolerweather tomorrow.1.

He developed into a world statesman who acted as a kind of conscience to leaders around the globe.Fate initially seemed not to have provided him with a stage on which to achieve more than modest local success. In the first phase of decolonization, Singapore emerged as a part of Malaya. It was cut loose because of tensions between Singapores largely Chinese population and the Malay majority and, above all, to teach the city a lesson of dependency, Malaya undoubtedly expected that reality would cure Singapore of its independent spirit.But great men bee such through visions beyond material calculations. Lee challenged conventional wisdom by opting for statehood. The choice reflected a deep faith in the virtues of his people. He asserted that a city located on a sandbar with no economic resource to draw upon, and whose major industry as a colonial naval base had disappeared, could nevertheless thrive and achieve international reputation by building on its principal asset(財富): the intelligence, industry and dedication of its people.A great leader takes his or her society from where it is to where it has never been - indeed, where it as yet cannot imagine being. By insisting on quality education, by suppressing corruption and by basing governance on merit. Lee and his colleagues raised the annual per capita ine of their population from $500 at the time of independence in 1965 to roughly $55,000 today. In a generation, Singapore became an international financial center., the leading intellectual metropolis of Southeast Asia, the location of the regions major hospitals and a favored site for conferences on international affairs. It did so by adhering to an extraordinary pragmatism: by opening careers to the best talents and encouraging them to adopt the best practices from all over the world.Superior performance was one ponent of that achievement. Superior leadership was even more important. As the decades went by, it was moving - and inspirational - to see Lee., the mayor of a medium-size city, bee a mentor of global strategic order.The great tragedy of Lees life was that his beloved wife was felled by a stroke that left her a prisoner in her body, unable to municate or receive munication. Through all that time, Lee sat by her bedside in the evening reading to her. He had faith that she understood despite the evidence to the contrary.Perhaps this was Lee Kuan Yews role in his era. He had the same hope for our world. He fought for its better instincts even when the evidence was ambiguous. But many of us heard him and will never forget him.1Why did Lee Kuan Yew choose to lead Singapore to be independent?A. He intended to act as a kind of conscience to leaders around the globe.B. He determined his people shouldnt be subjected to Malaya anymore.C. He had considerable confidence in the value of the citys assets.D. He wanted Singapore to be the most powerful country worldwide.2From the underlined sentence in Paragraph2, we can know that _.A. Malaya expected Singapore to be powerfulB. Malaya had a desire to kick off SingaporeC. Malaya firmly believed Singapore would give inD. Malaya didnt think Singapore possessed independent spirit3The fourth paragraph is organized to _.A. illustrate how advanced Singapore has been todayB. demonstrate Lee Kuan Yew attached great importance to the talentsC. prove what a crucial decision Lee Kuan Yew once madeD. show the tremendous impact Lee Kuan Yew had on Singapore4Which of the following can best describe Lee Kuan Yew?A. Stubborn and arbitraryB. Aggressive and affectionate.C. Demanding and bossyD. Outspoken
