【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 The National DarkSky Week (NDSW) is a week during which people all over the United States turn off their lights to enjoy the beauty of the night sky without light pollution. This event was started by Jennifer Barlow of Midlothian, Virginia in 2003, and it is becoming more popular each year. It has been supported by the International DarkSky Association, the American Astronomical Society, and the Astronomical League.
This event always occurs in April, during the week of the new moon so that the sky can be as dark as possible for the best viewing conditions.
“It is my wish that people could see the night sky without other light in the sky as our ancestors saw it hundreds of years ago,” explains Barlow.
Since it only lasts a week and not everyone in the country will take part in it, how will the National DarkSky Week reduce light pollution? The main goal of NDSW is to increase awareness of the harmful effects of light pollution. It is not possible for all of the light pollution in this part of the world to disappear. However, it is possible to make a small difference in the quality of the night sky. Another goal of this event is to promote the use of better lighting systems that direct light toward the ground instead of up into the sky.
Jennifer Barlow states, “The night sky is a gift of such beauty that it should not be polluted by wasted light. In this way, our children will not lose touch with the wonder of our universe.”
（1）Which of the following statements about the National DarkSky Week is WRONG?
A.It is becoming more and more popular in America.
B.The event was started in 2003 by Jennifer Barlow.
C.The event takes place in the first week of every April.
D.American people are supposed to turn off their lights during that week.
（2）What is Jennifer Barlow's wish?

B.That the sky would always be as dark as possible.
C.That people could see the night sky without light pollution as our ancestors did.
D.That people could spend time enjoying the beauty of the sky every night.
（3）What is the main goal of the National DarkSky Week?
A.To promote the use of better lighting systems.
B.To help people realize the harm of light pollution.
C.To cause all the light pollution in America to disappear.
D.To help young children enjoy the wonder of our universe.

【答案】
（1）C
（2）C
（3）B
【解析】（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的 This event always occurs in April, during the week of the new moon... 可知，并不一定是四月的第一周，故選 C。（2）. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的 It is my wish that people would see the night sky without other light in the sky as our ancestors saw it hundreds of years ago. 可知應(yīng)選 C。(3). 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的 The main goal of NDSW is to increase awareness of the harmful effects of light pollution.可知B正確。

【題目】On the first day of his presidency, Donald Trump (特朗普) began making changes to the policies of earlier presidents.

A document released by the new Trump White House said the president would soon withdraw from the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement (12國(guó)跨太平洋伙伴貿(mào)易協(xié)定). The free trade deal was negotiated by the Obama(奧巴馬) administration.

The White House website said Trump would also work to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement known as NAFTA.

＂If our partners refuse a renegotiation that gives American workers a fair deal, then the President will give notice of the United States’ intent to withdraw from NAFTA,＂ a White House statement said.

Neither action was a surprise. During the presidential campaign, Trump said bad trade deals had hurt employment in America.

The NAFTA agreement removed most tariffs(關(guān)稅) on products traded between the US, Canada and Mexico. It was signed by President Bill Clinton in 1993.

The Trump administration also said it is ready to cancel what it called, ＂harmful and unnecessary policies.＂ Among them is the Obama administration’s plan to reduce pollutants from coal-powered electricity plants. The climate plan was designed to cut gases that cause global warming.

Another is a clean water rule to protect small waterways and wetlands(水域和濕地) from development by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Trump has said he wants to cancel and replace a third policy, the national health care law, known as ＂Obamacare.＂

The Trump administration has promised other major changes. In education, for example, there are plans to give parents more choice in selecting schools for their children, including private, religious schools.

【1】Who would have the U.S. withdraw from the free trade deal negotiated by the Obama administration?

A. The Obama administration.

B. The new Trump White House.

C. The Trump administration.

D. Donald Trump.

【2】In which case will Donald Trump get the US continue to observe NAFTA?

A. Canada and Mexico agree to offer American workers a fair deal.

B. Canada and Mexico agree to renegotiate NAFTA.

C. Canada and Mexico agree to offer workers a fair deal.

D. The partners refuse a renegotiation that offers American workers a fair deal.

【3】How many policies considered harmful and unnecessary by the Trump administration are mentioned in the passage?

A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

【4】What kind of articles does this passage belong to?

A. Advertisement. B. News. C. Introductions. D. Announcement.

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 Each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap. Some call it the summer learning setback. Simply speaking, it means the longer kids are out of school, the more they forget. The only thing they might gain is weight.
Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar. Students get winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation. Some schools follow a year-round calendar. They hold classes for about e ight weeks at a time, with a few weeks off in between. The National Association for Year-Round Education says there were fewer than three thousand such schools at last count. They were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.
But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school. Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said, “Year-round schools don't really solve the problem of the summer learning setback. They simply spread it out across the year.”
Across the country, research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students. Experts say this can be prevented. They note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help.
But calling them “summer school” could be a problem. The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins, Ron Fairchild, said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term “summer school”. In American culture, the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood. The parents welcomed other terms like “summer camp”, “enrichment”, “extra time” and “hands-on learning”.
（1）According to the first paragraph the summer learning gap.
A.helps children to gain weight
B.leads children to work harder
C.improves children’s memories
D.affects children’s regular studies
（2）Compared to traditional schools, students in the year-round ones .
A.perform better and have more learning gains
B.have much less time for relaxation every year
C.have generally the same number of class days
D.hold more classes with more free weeks off
（3）Which of the following statements is true?
A.Students from poor families often fall behind after the vacation.
B.Year-round schools can solve the problem of the learning gap.
C.There are schools in each state following a year-round calendar.
D.Nothing can help the students who fall behind after the vocation.
（4）What would be the best title of this passage?
A.Opening Summer Camps
B.Forbidding Summer Schools
C.Spreading Year-Round Education
D.Minding the Summer Learning Gap

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

【題目】I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that, with the loan we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as ￡600 a month.

And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.

But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)

My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.

Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.

【1】The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ________.

A. most families chose to go car-free B. the cost of a new car was too much

C. he was hurt in a terrible car accident D. the traffic jam was unbearable for him

【2】What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?

A. Disapproving. B. Supportive.

C. Optimistic. D. Unconcerned.

【3】What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?

A. Argue against it. B. Take their advice.

C. Leave it alone. D. Think it over.

【4】What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?

A. Life cannot go without a car.

B. Life without a car is a little bit hard.

C. His life gets improved without a car.

D. A car-free life does not suit everyone.
