Khan Academy is a website providing a free education for any person. The website includes more than 4,000 short teaching videos about many different subjects. Every month, over 7 million people go to the Khan Academy website to watch its videos.

Khan Academy began with one man named Salman Khan. As a young man, Khan got a degree from Harvard Business School and began to work in business.

In 2006, Khan used the Internet to help his young cousins, who lived far away, with their mathematics schoolwork. He drew numbers and pictures on the website to teach them. After a time, he put his videos onto the website YouTube, where his cousins could watch them any time they wanted. But Khan noticed that other people were also watching his videos on YouTube.

By 2009, the number of people watching his videos on YouTube was getting very large. Khan decided to make the videos his job instead. So he officially began Khan Academy, providing videos on mathematics and other school subjects.

People did not have to pay to watch the videos. But they could give Khan money if they wanted to support (支持) his work. Some people did give Khan small amounts of money, but he was still having a hard time. Later, a woman told Khan that Bill Gates uses Khan Academy for his kids. After that, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation began giving money to Khan Academy. In 2010 Google gave the website money too, wanting Khan to translate his videos into the world’s most common languages. Today, people can see Khan’s videos in many different languages.

Some people think that Khan Academy will be the way more and more people learn in the future. Teachers can use it in their classrooms. Khan believes that Khan Academy will never, and should never, replace a school. But he believes teachers and students can use it to make schools better.

1.What can one get from Khan Academy?

A. Video-making methods.

B. Free learning information.

C. Any help with the schoolwork.

D. A good number of beautiful pictures.

2.Salman Khan started Khan Academy _____.

There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little whisky(威士忌) at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited there in 1873 she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot,” And she didn't even go fishing.

Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grass mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange, the rivers, teeming with fish, can turn into streams of gold. As you settle down with just a people and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy Castle, any frustration will float away as gently as the circling water. It's just you and purple, pink, white flowers, a perfect harmony. If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime's fun. For many, fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.

Scotland offers interesting place where you can rest after a long day's fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland's mountains. Ben Nevis is the highest of mountains, and reaching its 1342-metre top is a challenge. But it's not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is unique. More than 900 metres high, on the mountain's north face, lies an all-important source of pure water. Its name comes form the Gaelic language "usqueb" or "water of life"; and it is the single most important ingredient(原料) in Scotland's best known whisky.

1.The story of Queen Victoria is to show that  .

A. the queen is rich in tour experience

B. the Castle is a good place to go in Scotland

C. tasting whisky is better than going fishing

D. 1873 is a special year for the queen

2.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?

A. By giving descriptions. B. By following time order.

C. By analyzing causes. D. By making comparisons.

3.What is Ben Nevis special for?

A. The Inverlochy Castle Hotel.

B. The beauty of its surroundings.

C. The water from the mountain.

D. The challenge up to its top.

4.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.

B. To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.

科目：高中英語 來源：內(nèi)蒙古赤峰市2017-2018學(xué)年高二上學(xué)期升學(xué)考試（一模）英語試卷 題型：閱讀理解

A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people．Puppy love（早戀）may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression (沮喪，抑郁）. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all．

The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “l(fā)oss of self”．According to the study，even though boys would say “l(fā)ose themselves in a romantic relationship”，this “l(fā)oss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions．They won’t tell that to their parents．

Dr Marianm Kaufman，an expert on young people problems，says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression．She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up，it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self．She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family．

Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes—and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age．Love will always make us feel young，but only maturity （成熟） gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects．

1.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Romance is a double-edged sword for adults.

B. Parents should forbid their children’s love.

C. Puppy love may bring young people depression.

D. Romance is good for young people.

2.Which of the following is more likely to have depression?

A. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.

B. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.

C. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.

D. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.

B. The older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.

C. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.

D. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.

4.What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?

A. disapproving B. confused

C. neutral D. scared
