【題目】We think that life in Chinese high school is an adventure in which we have to survive mountains of homework and all kinds of exams. Yet would it be【1】(surprise) if I tell you that high school life in the US is almost as stressful and demanding【2】it is in China?

In US high school, everything must【3】(record) into your studying document, including your grades on quizzes, tests and final examinations. Failing【4】(turn) in your homework on time will directly affect your grade for a certain course. Perhaps completely different from【5】we used to think of the US high school students, they pay great attention to【6】(they) academic performance in order that they can get into a distinguished university.

Like university students, US high school students have the【7】(free) to choose the courses that most interest them. Even a ninth-grader can sit 【8】 the same classroom as 12th-graders. But this also 【9】 (mean) he or she has to work very hard, because the teacher will not treat him or her【10】(different).

【答案】

【1】surprising

【2】as

【3】be recorded

【4】to turn

【5】what

【6】their

【7】freedom

【8】in

【9】means

【10】differently

【解析】試題分析: 文章講述了美國(guó)高中生的生活與中國(guó)的高中生的一樣具有繁重的家庭作業(yè)和多次的考試。

【1】surprising考查形容詞。根據(jù)空前的it和be判斷應(yīng)填形容詞。故填surprising。

【2】as 考查定語(yǔ)從句。根據(jù)空前的as判斷空后的定語(yǔ)從句應(yīng)用as引導(dǎo)。故填as。

【3】be recorded 考查被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。根據(jù)空前的主語(yǔ)everything是record的動(dòng)作承受者判斷，此處應(yīng)填被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，故填be recorded。

【4】to turn考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。根據(jù)詞組fail to do sth不能做某事。故填to turn。

【5】what 考查賓語(yǔ)從句。根據(jù)空后賓語(yǔ)從句中缺少use的賓語(yǔ)。故填what。

【6】their 考查代詞。根據(jù)空后的名詞判斷應(yīng)填形容詞性物主代詞。故填their 。

【7】freedom 考查名詞。根據(jù)空前的the判斷應(yīng)用名詞形式。故填freedom。

【8】in考查時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)空后classroom判斷應(yīng)填in。

【9】means考查謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。根據(jù)空前的this是mean的動(dòng)作執(zhí)行者。故填means。

【10】differently考查副詞。根據(jù)空前的treat判斷應(yīng)用副詞。故填differently。

【題目】Census Bureau (人口普查局) data released Thursday show that 48 of the 50 most populous (人口稠密的) U.S. cities have grown since 2010, compared with only 40 of the top 50 in the first two years after the 2000 Census. Of the top 100, 93 have grown since 2010, compared with just 72 a decade ago.

Many of the biggest, such as New York, Houston, Phoenix, San Antonio, San Diego and Dallas, are outpacing the nation’s 1.7% growth rate since 2010.

“Urban America is recovering faster than more remote places,” said Robert Lang, a professor of urban affairs.

Only two big cities - Detroit and Cleveland - lost population between 2010 and 2012.

The urban recovery is led by mid-sized cities including Austin and Fort Worth and Charlotte. Austin grew 6.6% in two years, becoming the USA’s 11th-largest city. In 2000, it was No. 17.

Other trends:

New York City grew 2%, adding about 161,500 people since 2010. By far it is the USA’s most populous city.

The population of New Orleans continues to grow. In 2005 a terrible natural disaster happened to the city, causing the population to decrease. Now it has a population of three hundred and sixty-nine thousand. The number has grown by 7.4% since 2010.

Government budget crunches (緊縮) have put state capitals in difficulty. Half are behind the growth rate of their regions.

Perhaps the biggest exception to the capital crunch is Austin. It has grown more than 26% since 2000. Population expert William Frey says Austin enjoys a number of qualities that make it attractive. It’s a high-tech city with a state university. And it’s in Texas, an attractive place for newcomers. “In some ways it’s a model of what other cities would like to become,” he says.

Frey notes that Charlotte, which grew 5.4% since 2010 has grown into a high-tech and financial center whose industries do business not just with those in other U.S. cities but with the rest of the world.

【1】The statistics in Paragraph 1 suggest that _____.

A. there were fewer cities in the USA a decade ago

B. remote areas in the USA have more people now

C. the population in the USA has grown since 2010

D. many big cities in the USA face population problems

【2】William Frey thinks Austin’s growth _____.

A. is due to its education

B. is the steadiest in the USA

C. attracts well-educated people

D. deserves the attention of other cities

【3】According to the text, Charlotte _____.

A. is a political center

B. has grown slowly since 2010

C. is the USA’s 11th-largest city

D. does business at home and abroad

【題目】GRANDMOTHER, Michelle Riotton, a 78 old, survived after falling down a mountain valley. She set off for a walk alone dressed only in a light jacket and trousers. "I slipped into a valley!" said Mrs. Riotton, who said the fall happened in a deep forest close to her home village.

It was warm and sunny when the accident happened, but temperatures dropped to very low when night fell, and it rained. "I wasn’t afraid," said Mrs Riotton. "But I was worried that my children and grandchildren would become too worried about me." Mrs Riotton said she covered herself in leaves when feeling cold, taking very small bites of two biscuits which she had in her pocket and drinking rainwater which fell down her face.

She spent six nights before she was found on Saturday. She was lying at the bottom of the valley, which was less than a mile from her home. The search had once been stopped, but Patrice Fossard, one of her neighbors, insisted that the search continue. "There was no way we could give up her, even if deep inside we felt we had little hope of finding her alive," said Mr Fossard. "It was a miracle that Michele was finally found."

Mrs Riotton said she would be taking life easier from now on. "Enough is enough!" she said. "No more forests--I don’t want to visit one again."

A mountain policeman said walking alone in the mountain was not recommended and that Mrs Riotton should have carried a mobile phone with her. "The mountains are particularly dangerous at this time of year as sunny afternoons can quickly change into cold, wet and stormy evenings," he said. "Anybody walking into the mountains should carry safety equipment and be prepared for any kind of emergency."

【1】When Michelle Riotton was in the valley, she _________.

A. was hurt too badly to move B. missed her home very much

C. didn’t feel afraid D. felt very hungry

【2】Michelle Riotton covered herself with leaves to __________.

A. keep warm during her suffering B. prevent the harmful animals

C. make herself noticed by others D. avoid getting wet in the rain

【3】Michelle Riotton got lost on _________.

A. Saturday B. Monday

C. Wednesday D. Sunday

【4】According to the mountain policeman, _________.

A. the mountains in the morning are very dangerous

B. one had better not walk in the mountains alone

C. people should carry safety equipment every day

D. people wouldn’t be safe without a mobile phone

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

【題目】George Max showed up in a well-maintained lorry. He brought some tools, such as something to light a fire with, a smoker, a long-handled brush, a metal hive(蜂箱)tool, and a hive. As George moved about, he said in a low and calm voice, “You’d be amazed how many people call me with a swarm(一大群)like this; and by the time I come, they’ve destroyed the whole thing, down to the last bee.”

George said this swarm of bees was breath-taking, about 15,000 bees. He placed the hive in a proper place. Holding the smoker close to the swarm, he pumped the bellows(風(fēng)箱). Smoke has a calming effect on bees. George said this group was easy to deal with. They were heavy with honey, and their main purpose was to hold the group together until they could find a new hive.

He went on smoking the swarm and let the bees pour into the hive. Most bees would only follow the queen to a new living place (yes, she has ladies-in-waiting that tend her every need). By dusk, most of the bees had disappeared into the hive.

“Alright, it appears that we’ve got them all,” I looked hopefully in George’s direction. He paused. “If you don’t mind, we’ll wait a bit longer,” he said. “They have sent out scout bees, and I want to be sure we don’t leave any behind.” So we waited. And, look! Scout bees returned.

If the hive is healthy, the population of bees will be on the increase. When the queen senses that it’s time for the hive to split, she will lose weight so she can fly, and then leave the hive with a large part of the bees. The bees left behind will hurry to hatch another queen and rebuild.

If some day you come across a swarm of bees in your backyard, call in a local beekeeper. Then sit back and enjoy the show. Get your camera, because you’ll want to share this amazing phenomenon with everyone you know, especially children. And if you’ve gone this far, you might as well buy a hive of your own. We did.

【1】George thought the bees weren’t difficult to handle mainly because ______.

A. they were in huge quantity

B. his smoke had a healing effect on them

C. the bees were keeping together the group

D. they didn't need a new hive

【2】George wanted to wait a little longer because ______．

A. there might be some bees that hadn’t come back

B. those bees which he had sent away didn’t return

C. the longer he stayed, the more honey he’d collect

D. the queen hadn’t turned up

【3】We can infer from the last but one paragraph______．

A. the queen must keep fit to control others

B. the queen will leave if she finds no one supports her

C. fatty queens are not welcome in a hive

D. there is only one queen in a hive

【4】How is the whole passage mainly developed?

A. By analyzing causes.

B. By giving examples.

C. By giving descriptions.

D. By making comparisons.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

【題目】The sharing economy, represented by companies like Airbnb or Uber, is the latest fashion craze. But many supporters have overlooked the reality that this new business model is largely based on escaping regulations and breaking the law.

Airbnb is an Internet-based service that allows people to rent out spare rooms to strangers for short stays. Uber is an Internet taxi service that allows thousands of people to answer ride requests with their own cars. There are hundreds of other such services.

The good thing about the sharing economy is that it promotes the use of underused resources. Millions of people have houses or apartments with empty rooms, and Airbnb allows them to profit from these rooms while allowing guests a place to stay at prices that are often far less than those charged by hotels. Uber offers prices that are competitive with standard taxi prices and their drivers are often much quicker and more trustworthy.

But the downside of the sharing economy has gotten much less attention. Most cities and states both tax and regulate hotels, and the tourists who stay in hotels are usually an important source of tax income. But many of Airbnb’s customers are not paying the taxes required under the law.

Airbnb can also raise issues of safety for its customers and trouble for hosts’ neighbors. Hotels are regularly inspected to ensure that they are not fire traps and that they don’t form other risks for visitors. Airbnb hosts face no such inspections.

Since Airbnb is allowing people to escape taxes and regulations, the company is simply promoting thefts. Others in the economy will lose by bearing an additional tax burden or being forced to live next to an apartment unit with a never-ending series of noisy visitors.

The same story may apply with Uber. Uber is currently in disputes over whether its cars meet the safety and insurance requirements imposed on standard taxis. Also, if Uber and related services flood the market, they could harm all taxi drivers’ ability to earn a minimum wage.

This downside of the sharing needs to be taken seriously, but that doesn’t mean the current tax and regulatory structure is perfect.

【1】What is the positive thing about the sharing economy?

A. It is a global trend.

B. It is beyond regulations.

C. It draws on spare resources.

D. It brings in modest profits.

【2】What is the problem with Airbnb customers according to the passage?

A. They are not regularly inspected.

B. They are likely to commit thefts.

C. They are allowed not to pay taxes.

D. They can be noisy to hosts’ neighbours.

【3】What is the argument over Uber according to the passage?

A. Whether it guarantees customers’ safety.

B. Whether it provides reliable services.

C. Whether it lowers customers’ expenses.

D. Whether it can compete with standard taxis.

【4】What will be talked about in the following paragraphs?

A. Existing regulations and laws.

B. Necessary improvements of current laws.

C. Further development of Airbnb and Uber.

D. More downsides of Airbnb and Uber.
