“We leave at dawn and head out overland by jeep towards Base One.We’ll get as far as we can before proceeding on foot,”Mark explained.The others sat and listened.Sarah, particularly, as a“casualty of events”, wouldn’t have known what to say or suggest even if she'd been asked.But Harry had a lot to say.

  “We’ll never make it,”he protested.“We'll still be crossing the desert when they catch up with us.They’ll know where we’re heading for and they’ll simply follow us and kill us out there in the desert with no one to see.They seem to know every move we make or are going to make.”

  Mark said nothing, but spread his hands out as if to say“Well, what do we do then?”“We wouldn’t be in this mess now,”Harry went on, almost ignoring Mark’s gesture, “ if we hadn’t stopped to rescue Sarah.”(He glanced at her briefly.)“But since we did, we must got on-but not across the desert.There's the sand, and deep ravine(溝壑)which are almost invisible until you’re right on them-and then the heat.You have to be used to going out there, and none of us is.This is no “morning at leisure”on some pleasant holiday, you know!If we went north instead and made for the river,…

  He broke off and looked around at the others, feeling somehow that his argument was pointless.No one said anything.

  “Good,”said Mark, looking around with authority, and returned to checking their stores.

You must have been troubled by when to say “I love you” because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.

  What if you say it first and your partner doesn’t love you back? Or if they do say it but you don’t feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve racking(緊張)and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn’t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand fast?

 A really good relationship should be about “being fair and being equal,” says psychologist Sidney Crown. “But love is seldom equal.” All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. “That feeling of ‘I’ve always loved you more’ may be subverted(顛覆,破壞) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大聲爭(zhēng)吵).”  In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. “The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings,” says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. “The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says ‘I love you’ first may also be the one who says ‘I’ m bored with you’ first.” Hall believes that much depends on how “I love you” is said and the motivation of the person saying it. “Is it said when they’re drunk? Is it said before their partner files off on holiday, and what it really means is ‘Please don’ t be unfaithful to me’ ?” By saying ‘I love you’, they are really saying ‘Do you love me?’ If so, wouldn’t it just be more honest to say that. Collins agrees that intention is everything. “It’s not what is said, but how it’s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker.”

What is the main idea of this passage?

A. The importance of “I love you” 

B. The meaning of “I love you” 

C. The time of saying “I love you” 

D. The place of saying “I love you” 

In the first sentence the author means that _________.

 A. it is easy to say “I love you”   

B. it is hard to say “I love you” 

 C. we have many troubles in our life

 D. people usually do not know when to say “I love you” 

According to the expert, a good relationship should be _______.

 A. fair and equal        B. fair and kind

 C. powerful and equal   D. confident and fair

In the third paragraph, the phrase “with the upper hand” means _________.

 A. being low in spirit   B. having only one hand

 C. being active        D. being passive

Halloween

History experts say Halloween goes back more than two thousand years to the Celts(凱爾特人) of ancient Britain.October 31 was the Celtic Day of the autumn feast(宗教節(jié)日).On that day,priests(牧師) of the Celtic religion(宗教) prayed that the spirits of the dead would return to their homes for a few hours.The Celts built huge fires to frighten away evil spirits released with the dead on that night.

Hundreds of years later,the Roman Catholic(天主教的) Church made November first a day to honor Christian Saints.It was called All Saints Day or All Hallows Day.The day before was called Hallow Eve or Halloween.The name came from the church.But the traditions were closer to the old Celtic beliefs.

People from Scotland and Ireland brought these traditions to America.Many people still believed spirits played tricks on people on the last night of October.

In the late 19th century,American boys helped the spirits with tricks of their own.On Halloween,they would do things like change street signs or put a wagon on top of a house.

American children continue to celebrate Halloween today.Many adults enjoy the holiday as well.They go to holiday parties dressed as ghosts,monsters or famous people from history.

Children continue these Halloween traditions by going out to “Trick or Treat”.They dress as frightening creatures or characters from popular movies.They go from house to house asking for candy.They may also ask for money for the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund(聯(lián)合國(guó)國(guó)際兒童急救基金會(huì)).They send the money to UNICEF to help needy children around the world.

1.Who believed that the dead spirits would return home on Halloween?

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:河北省2010屆高三押題卷(英語(yǔ)) 題型:閱讀理解

 

You’re in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater. You listen to their conversation:

  “I can’t believe it—a Lorenzo Betrolla! They are almost impossible to find. Isn’t it beautiful?And it’s a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome”.

  They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater. It’s nice and the price is right. You’ve never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish. They must know. So,you buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.

  Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating. If the person looks cool,the product seems cool,too. This is the secret of undercover marketing. Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.

  Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don’t pay attention to traditional advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generation—consumers between the age of 18 and 34. It is a golden group. They have a lot of money to spend, but they don’t trust ads.

  So advertising agencies hire young actors to “perform” in bars and other places where young adults go. Some people might call this practice misleading, but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative.“Look at traditional advertising. Its effectiveness is decreasing”.

  However,one might ask what exactly is “real” about the young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater. Advertising executives (主管) would say it’s no less real than flu ad. The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something. You don’ t know a conversation you overhear is just a performance.

1. The two attractive young women were talking so that they could _______.

A. get the sweater at a lower price            B. be heard by people around

C. be admired by other shoppers              D. decide on buying the sweater

2. Lorenzo Bertolla is _______.

A. a very popular male singer                         B. an advertising agency

C. a clothing company in Rome               D. the brand name of a sweater

3. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company.

B. The MTV generation tends to be more easily influenced by ads.

C. Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it’s too direct.

D. Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government.

4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Two Attractive Shoppers                     B. Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters

C. Ways of Advertising                                 D. Undercover Marketing
