【題目】Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?

Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbacks (平裝本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.

Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia, though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.

【1】It can be inferred from the passage that .

A. TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge

B. cinemas are the best choice in getting information

C. reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun

D. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself

【2】What does the sentences “Television has not killed reading, however” underlined in the second paragraph suggest?

A. People only need reading, though.

B. Reading is still necessary today.

C. Reading is more fun than television.

D. Watching television doesn’t help reading.

【3】Which of the following is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?

A. Types of books.

B. Kinds of dictionaries.

C. Lists of history books.

D. Collections of stories and poems.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】A

【解析】試題分析: 這篇短文主要描述了讀書在當(dāng)今仍舊是人們生活中很重要的一項活動

【1】C細節(jié)理解題。由第二段中的Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment 和第三段中的Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure可知，閱讀書籍可以使人獲得信息又享受到樂趣，同時它還比較便宜，故C選項正確

【2】B推理判斷題。由第二段中的Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment可知，閱讀仍然普遍存在，電視并沒有能夠取代書籍和報紙，故B選項正確

【3】A考查推理題。文章主要介紹了閱讀在當(dāng)今社會普遍存在，是一種幫助人們獲得信息的比較便宜的方式。故它不是旅游手冊，也不是科學(xué)報道，更不可能出現(xiàn)在時尚雜志中，故用排除法選A。它有可能出現(xiàn)在教育方面的書籍評論中

Imagine falling towards the planet Earth at 【1】 awesome speed of 300 kilometers per hour. You start your fall from over four kilometers above the Earth. And you have less than one minute before you pull your parachute (降落傘）cord. You are falling 【2】 fast that just turning your head can send you off 【3】 a different direction. This is the wild side of a sport that has not found its limit—freeflying.

Freeflying 【4】 (base) on the more traditional skydiving, 【5】 of which are eye-catching. However, it is more terrifying to watch freeflyers create formations and movements. Freeflyers, 【6】 the name suggests, enjoy the more spontaneous(即興的）thrill of doing their own things.

The wildest trip for a freeflyers is falling ‘head down’. Falling ‘head first’ requires a great deal of control, which means 【7】 (travel) not only fast but also steadily. Even the 【8】 (slight) movement has a great effect on your direction.

They wear the amusing jumpsuits, strange helmets and smaller parachutes. 【9】 (actual), their parachutes are about one quarter the size of the traditional skydiver’s parachutes. It is only in the last few years 【10】 freeflying has gained any real public acceptance.

【題目】As with any house guests, indoor plants require a certain amount of basic, regular attention if they are going to feel at home. The first consideration when purchasing plants is to make reasonably sure that they are suitable for the condition in which they are going to be housed.

A general rule for most plants being brought indoors for the first time is to ensure that they have reasonable temperature of not less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit, a position out of cold air, safe from pets and not exposed to strong sunlight.

Plants love company. When plants are growing together, they create an atmosphere of damp around themselves which is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions. A group of plants will also present a more pleasing picture and provide an opportunity for a creative arrangement. There is no secret to this. Just rely on your natural feeling for harmony.

Watering and feeding plants are probably the two areas of care that are the least well understood, but, again, if you follow a few simple rules, your plants should do well. Cold slightly warm water is therefore the answer. It is usually better to pour water on to the soil on the surface of the pot rather than put the water into the pot holder at the bottom. Avoid giving small amount of water at regular intervals- it is much better to wet the soil right through the pot in one go and then to allow it to dry noticeably before giving it a further watering.

The majority of indoor plants will be in active growth from March until October, and during this time, the established ones will benefit from regular feeding. This may mean feeding with a weak liquid fertilizer(肥料) at each watering or at intervals of a week or ten days with fertilizer at a standard strength. It is important, however, to ensure that plants are not fed when growth is inactive, when the soil in the pot is dry, or too soon after the plants has been potted up.

【1】In Paragraph 2, the author mainly tells us to___________.

A. buy plants that help clean indoor air

B. create a new environment with plants

C. put plants on the sunny side of the room

D. make sure of suitable conditions for plants

【2】What’s the benefit of plants growing together?

A. It provides owners good company.

B. It makes it convenient to look after them.

C. It helps the air around them slightly wet.

D. It allows owners to draw a pleasant picture.

【3】While watering the plants, what should we remember to do?

A. Use water that is a little warm.

B. Pour the water into the pot holder.

C. Give small amount of water at one time.

D. Consider further watering in wet weather.

【4】What is the best time to feed the plants?

A. When the soil is dry.

B. When the temperature is high.

C. When their growth is active.

D. When they have just been planted.

Trust has been considered as the basis of any relationship, including friendship. No relationship can last long with a lack of trust. Not many of your friends will have real faith in you as you would like to believe. 【1】_________ Sometimes, it takes years, even a complete lifetime, to trust someone. However, how do we know if our friends have faith in us?

【2】_______With whom will you share things that you don’t want everyone to know? It would be with a close friend, whom you trust as much as you trust yourself. While a few of your friends may be fiercely protective of their privacy and may not tell their secrets to anyone, those who do, surely find you trustworthy and reliable.

Whom do you look up to for advice when you need it the most? It has to be either your parents or your friends. 【3】_______ This is a shining example of trust. You only seek advice from people you hold in high regard and find dependable. The friends who trust you will never forget to include you in the important decisions of their life.

Arguments and heated discussions are a part of every relationship, and this is also true for friendship. 【4】_______ While some people find it difficult to forgive and forget, your friends will never have problems moving on.
