Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal – or at least many parts of it have.   【小題1】. Ideas about social class – whether a person is “working - class” or “middle - class” – are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.
  In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her "housekeeping", would go out and squander the rest on beer and betting.
  The old style of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was-and still is - inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house as a most important thing, but he also considered the education of his children as extremely important. 【小題2】. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity (or the education and training) to make such long-term plans.
  【小題3】In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much as their middle – class supervisors (管理者). Social security and laws to improve century, have made it less necessary than before to worry about "tomorrow". Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority(自卑感). In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.
【小題4】.They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes, they spend their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations.【小題5】. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups.

A.Nowadays, a great deal has changed 
B.Both of these provided him and his family with security 
C.As a result, differences in life – styles and attitudes came into existence 
D.However, we still have a wide gap between the well – paid and the low - paid 
E.In recent years, the working – class people have begun to design long – term plans
F.In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned
G.The changes in both life – styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people


【小題1】F
【小題2】B
【小題3】A
【小題4】G
【小題5】D

解析試題分析:本文講述了在過(guò)去25年來(lái),英國(guó)社會(huì)改變很大,然而在許多方面幾乎沒有變化,尤其是有關(guān)社會(huì)階層的想法卻是改變相當(dāng)緩慢,同時(shí)論述了英國(guó)工人階級(jí)和中產(chǎn)階級(jí)的變化,
【小題1】空前一句提到英國(guó)社會(huì)改變很大,而空后一句則說(shuō)社會(huì)階層的想法卻是改變相當(dāng)緩慢,所以空格處表達(dá)轉(zhuǎn)折,承上啟下,故選擇答案F。
【小題2】空前句子not only。。。but also中提及中產(chǎn)階級(jí)的兩項(xiàng)長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)的計(jì)劃,即buying a house和the education of his children,因此空處承接前面的內(nèi)容,指這兩者給他和他的家人提供了安全保障。故選擇答案B。
【小題3】上一段提到中產(chǎn)階級(jí)擁有長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)的計(jì)劃,而工人階級(jí)則很少有機(jī)會(huì)進(jìn)行這樣的計(jì)劃,本段空后提到很多工廠工人掙錢和他們的中層管理者一樣多,所以說(shuō)明:現(xiàn)在情況變化很大,故選A。
【小題4】從空后的內(nèi)容看,分述了這群人的生活方式和生活態(tài)度,故選擇G,本段的總起句。
【小題5】從空后一句信息As long as this gap exists提示可知選D,高收入和低收入還是有很大的差距。
考點(diǎn):社會(huì)類句子填空。

A. Be yourself.
B. Be humorous.
C. Have a big heart.
D. Don’t try to be popular.
E. Reduce your sense of your own value.
F. Think of others more than yourself.
Secrets of Being Popular
To be honest, most people liked to be respected and admired by other people. These are some suggestions which can help you win popularity naturally:
【小題1】__________
It is a big mistake try to be liked by all people. When you want to impress other people and please them, it is impossible to avoid insincere praise. This will impress people for a short time, but it can not be continued for a long time. You have to base friendship on being your natural self and avoid always trying to win other people’s respect and admiration.
【小題2】__________
People appreciate those who are considerate of others. If you only talk about yourself and your achievements, people will try to avoid you. People naturally respect those who are willing to spend time listening to others. Only when we put other people’s needs before our own can we become well received by them.
【小題3】__________
There is no need to pretend to be someone you are actually not. If you are satisfied with who you are, you will allow your natural qualities to be noticed by other people, and this is what will naturally attract them. All real happiness and success come from inside. Besides, people will like you only when you accept yourself.
【小題4】__________
Learn to be generous and forgiving when you deal with other people. Forget their small mistakes, but appreciate their good points. If you go out of your way to appreciate the good qualities of others, then people will begin to like your generous spirit and be friendly with you.
【小題5】__________
Some people try to impress people by appearing to be wise and talking all about their own achievements. But when you enlarge your sense of your own value, you only increase your popularity with yourself. If you really do good things, there is no need for you to make your wonderful performance known to the public yourself. Others will do it for you.

Hospital emergency rooms treat injured fingers all the time. Without treatment, a bad cut can lead to permanent damage. But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require medical attention?
Here are some tips from Dr. Martin Brown, chairman of the department of emergency at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia.
1. Laceration (裂口)
The medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration.   【小題1】  A long cut on a finger can likely be treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep. However, if you have a short but deep laceration, you will need professional attention.
2. Fingertips cut off
Some injuries, like a fingertip that gets cut off, might even need surgery to repair.   【小題2】 More often, cutting down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful.
3. Bleeding
 【小題3】  Small cuts usually produce what is known as venous (靜脈的) bleeding. This means the blood flows steadily from the injury. The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound. In most cases holding direct pressure with a clean cloth for four to five minutes would do. But if a cut appears to be pumping blood out with some force, this may be a sign of arterial (動(dòng)脈的) bleeding.   【小題4】 
Finally, always keep this in mind: even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean to prevent infection. Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water.   【小題5】 Then cover it with a clean, dry bandage.

A.How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is. 
B.That requires a specialist to either cut down the bone or reattach the fingertip. 
C.This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible. 
D.The first signs of this disease include difficulty opening the mouth. 
E. Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty.
F. With a cut finger, holding the hand above the heart can reduce the loss of blood.
G. The length is usually not as important as the depth.

The Winner’s Guide to Success
How do successful people think? What helps them to make success? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America.   【小題1】  
Be responsible for yourselfwww.zxxk.com
Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead.   【小題2】  You’re saying, “You have more control over my life than I do.”
Live life “on purpose”
Almost all successful people live life “on purpose”— they are doing what they believe they should and want to do. When you live your life on purpose, you’ll try your best to do your job or study as well as you can. You love what you do and you can find pleasure in what you do.
Write a plan
It is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan. 【小題3】  A good plan is like a map to you. Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” you’ll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.
Be willing to pay the price
Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard — even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won’t get anything valuable.
Never give up
  【小題4】   When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.
  【小題5】  
Once an American writer was writing a novel. He could not have a good ending for his book until one night when he had a very good idea. He was so excited that he made a phone call to one of his best friends. “I’ve got a perfect idea,” he said, “I’ll put it down later and show it to you.” But he never did, because he died that night. His book was left without a perfect ending. So remember, do what you can right away. Never delay at all.  www.zxxk.com

A.In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you’re giving away your own power.
B.It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away.
C.Some people achieve success much later in life because they fail to realize earlier the importance of hard work.
D.Here are some keys to success that they give.
E. Make a decision
F. It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源: 題型:填空題

下面文章中有5處需要添加小標(biāo)題。請(qǐng)從以下選項(xiàng)(A、B、C、D、E和F)中選出最符合各段意思的小標(biāo)題。選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)是多余選項(xiàng)。
A. How inner beliefs can help
B. How to develop positive habits
C. Improve your life
D. You can do it
E. Action plan
F. Why are habits so important
The single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single day. It is as simple as that. Your habits will determine whether you are successful or not. If you have strong and healthy positive habits ,it does not mater whether or not you fail today because you are guaranteed to succeed in the long run.
【小題1】          
Because you repeat the same actions and the same behaviors every single day, a single positive action will not change your life, but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a significant impact on your life. For example, if you go to the gym one time, you won’t see a big difference in your life. However, if you go to the gym 1,000 times over a five year period, you will see a big difference in your body. The same principle applies to finance, health, relationships, work, career, and school. Simple positive actions repeated every single day will have a great impact on your life in the long run.
【小題2】           
There’s nothing easier than developing positive habits. You simply have to do every single day the action you want to make a habit. If you want to develop the habit of running, run almost every day. If you want to develop the habit of eating healthy, eat healthy every day. If you want to develop the habit of reading, read every day. Habits are created by repetition. The more you do an action, the easier it becomes in the long run.
【小題3】           
If you want to be successful in changing your habits, you should think about changing your inner beliefs about your habits. For example, your old belief was: “I love cigarette because it makes me feel good and relaxed. I need cigarette to be happy and relaxed.” If you keep this belief, you won’t be able to keep your resolution to stop smoking for very long. Instead, you should adopt this new belief: “I love yoga because it makes me feel good and relaxed. Cigarette is poisonous and destroys my body. Yoga makes me happy.” You should analyze your beliefs and make sure they won’t stop you from changing your habits. The same is true when you try to form positive habits. If you want to start eating healthy food, here are some positive beliefs you should start thinking about: “Healthy food is very good for my health. It gives me a lot of energy and I feel very good.”
【小題4】          
It’s now time for you to develop positive habits in your life and avoid your negative habits. Write down 3 positive habits that you would like to develop and 3 negative habits that you would like to get rid of. For each positive habit, write down exactly what actions you’re going to take every single day in order to develop the new habit. For each negative habit, write down exactly what actions you’re not going to take in the next weeks. Here are some positive habits that will lead to success: exercise, healthy food, reading, saving, studying, healthy relationships, hard work, etc.. Here are some negative habits to get rid of: gambling, drug and alcohol abuse, overeating, shyness, etc..
【小題5】           
Everybody can change. All it takes is courage and commitment. Decide right now to improve your life by changing your habits. Take action right now! Don’t be afraid. Yes, you will probably make mistakes along the way. But never forget that success is guaranteed for you if you have positive habits in your life. If you refuse to quit, success will be yours.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源: 題型:寫作題

Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

A. Tricks of dishonest advertisers
B. Types of advertisement readers
C. Customers’ opinions on advertisers
D. Functions of advertising
AB. Interactions between the advertisers and the customers
AC. Benefits one may get from reading honest advertisements.
【小題1】
When you see a clever advertisement in a newspaper, do you say to yourself, “Ah, that’s good. I’d like to have one of these”? Or do you say, “What lies are they telling this time? It can’t be very good or they wouldn’t have to advertise it so cleverly”? Both of these people exist: the fist are optimists; the second pessimists and realists.
【小題2】
Advertisements can be extremely useful if they are honest: if, let us say, you have broken you pen and you want to buy another, the first thing to do is to look at as many advertisements for pens as you can find. That will help you to choose the model, color and price that suits you. Advertisements save a lot of time and trouble in a quick and simple way. If the advertisements are true and accurate, the customers will be satisfied and will probably buy from the same firm nest time and advise their friends and acquaintances to do the same.
【小題3】
Some advertisers hope to sell his goods quickly and to make a large profit on them. They know that no customers will buy from them a second time or recommend the products to their friends. Other advertisers make claims for their products which they know perfectly well to be incapable of verification, like advertising that a certain toothpaste contains a particular substance knowing that this substance is in fact neither beneficial or harmful to the teeth. Such advertisements do not tell downright lies, but their advertising is deliberately misleading.
【小題4】
If there was no advertising, fewer goods would be sold, so the cost of each article would be higher. The more you advertise, the more cheaply you can afford to sell your products. Advertising also encourages makers to improve their goods continually. One manufacturer of soap-power claims that his products does not harm housewives’ hands, and quotes the opinions of prominent doctors to prove this. All other soap-powder manufacturers are forced to make their products harmless too.
【小題5】
As advertisers become more and more expert at their work, they appeal to all the human emotions in the effort to increase sales: love of a bargain, fear of ill health, the desire to show off and many others. But more and more customers are also becoming suspicious of and resistant to high-powered advertising. This is producing a deliberately modest advertisement that is intended to disarm the customers’ suspicions by giving an impression of absolute sincerity, or even of deliberate understatement.
