試題分析：句意：面對1萬美元的賬單，斯密斯找了份額外的工作。Faced with a bill for $ 10,000,是過去分詞作狀語，只有主從句的主語一致的時候，才能用非謂語動詞做狀語，說明主句的主語是得到be faced with的主語，是人，排除CD，根據(jù)句意應該是斯密斯有賬單，選A。

It is Sunday and lunch has, as usual, come to a hurried end．My wife and I are still sitting at the table．My wife likes to be in the life of her child, but I sometimes fear she is in too deep．She has the morning on an online student forum, asking questions about UCAS Dick．

“A lot of people haven’t had any offers yet,” she says． “I said I already had one．”

“Wait,” Dick says． “Are you to be me?”

“No, I have my own login details now,” she says．

“How do you know he isn’t his own mother pretending to be him?” Dick says．

“Who were there?” my wife asks Dick． “What was it like?”

“It was OK．” he says．

“Not good enough,” she says． “What was the worst thing happened?” My wife’s continued question a deepening, boring silence． I start to eat faster． There is a long, highly pause in the conversation．

“So,” she says , “was it a kissing party?”

“Oh my God!” shouts Dick, his fork． “What is wrong with you? Why are you like this?”

Surrounded by further scolds, lunch comes to a hurried end． Dick finds himself with clearing up． , the running of water and the sound of washing plates are the only sounds in the room．

“ at any time you’re prepared to apologize for being rude,” she says, “you can go and finish watching the football．”

“Are you joking?” he shouts． “No way! Why I apologize to you?”

He pauses to look into the bottom of a pan, and a smile across his face． “What I mean is, I’m really very sorry,” he says, dropping the pan into the sink and running from the room． “Bye!”

“You don’t have to worry,” my wife says． “In a ’s time, you’ll be 18 and I won’t be able to do this to you any more．”

“Really?” he says．

“You’ll be a（n） ,” she says．

The boy stops to consider the blue print that after a set seven days from then on, his parents will be to stop ruining his life． He looks both doubtful and a little alarmed．

Minimalism (簡約主義) is a term that describes movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual art and music, where the work is reduced to its most basic features.

As for me, minimalism functions well not in art or design, but in my daily life.

When I was packing for university, I found it extremely difficult to let go of some of the things I owned. I knew I couldn’t take everything with me, but I kept asking myself “how could I possibly throw this away?”, “what if I need it one day?”, and “what about all of the memories?” Now that I’ve moved, and left that stuff behind, I don’t even miss it. Whether or not I got rid of it, it barely makes a bit of difference to me now.

I’ve learned that over time people forget, or their need for a particular object eventually disappears. Either they store it away or they get rid of it.

You might think nostalgically（懷舊的） about the toys you cared about when you were a child, but what is making you smile now is not the thing itself but the memory of it. 1’ve heard it a hundred times, “you don’t need things to make you happy.” It takes something life-changing like moving across the country to realize how true this is.

Speaking of which, for a lot of people, minimalism is about able to move. It’s about being able to go almost anywhere at any time because you don’t have many possessions to carry. When you keep things you don’t need they become a burden that ties you to a place. Moving to university was a good time to let go of a lot of stuff. And when I visit for the holidays, I’ll probably get rid of even more, to lighten the burden.

Of course there are exceptions. There are some things that are irreplaceable, very rare or expensive or we simply love and cherish for some reason or another, since we are humans. But after we keep those, how much is left that we don’t really need?

Hence, minimalism. And why does minimalism bring happiness? That was a bit of a roundabout way of saying that, it’s because what really makes me happy is freedom. And the key to freedom is minimalism because minimalism reduces our attachment to things.

Attachment to too many objects creates a great mess and can severely hold back our freedom to do whatever we want, while minimalism helps us start new projects, move, travel, learn new things, work, expand, be debt-free, be healthy – really living life to our full potential.

I left the nest to fly onwards and upwards, I can’t do it with old things weighing me down. And that is why I have adopted minimalism with open arms.

1.In paragraph l, the writer gives the definition of minimalism to .

A. introduce a topic B. present his own idea

C. describe a scene D. offer an argument

D. they may have to change their lifestyle because of the loss of them

3.Which of the following is NOT the reason why the writer favors “minimalism” in life?

A. It takes the burden off her while she is moving.

B. It reduces her attachment to her personal things.

C. It enables her to gain the freedom that she desires.

D. It helps her to realize how true life is.

4.By saying “there are exceptions”, the writer means

A. little is left if we keep what we cherish most in our life

B. minimalism should be practised accordingly in different situations

C. minimalism is a method difficult to employ in reality

D. life is full of exceptions so it’s difficult to preserve what we value

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

A. Minimalism brings happiness.

B. Minimalism is applied in many fields.

C. Minimalism makes people think nostalgically.

D. Minimalism is about able to move.

What do you use to get around town? A car? A bike? Your feet ? perhaps you should try a segway!

The Segway is perfect for short journeys. It’s an electric vehicle that consists of a platform between two wheels, with a pole that connects the platform to the handlebars. To ride it , you step up onto the platform, and control the Segway by moving your body. Lean forwards to go faster, and back-wards to slow down.

On older models, direction was controlled by a twist grip（扭轉(zhuǎn)把手）on the left handlebar. This varies the speeds between the two motors, and a decrease in the speed of the left wheel would turn the Segway to the left . With newer models you simply lean to the left or right. Meanwhile, a gyroscope （陀螺儀）detects your movements and prevents the machine from falling over. The Segway has a maximum speed of 19 km per hour and a range of about 38 km. after that, you need to plug it and recharge the battery.

Segways are used for a variety of purposes. People with mobility problems can now enjoy walks in the country with their friends and family. Some golfers see them as an alternative to the golf cart . And dog owners now have an easier way to take the dog to the park. A few police forces use Segways, too. They allow officers to move quickly while maintaining contact with the public. They’re also becoming a common sight on airport . However, the most popular use is in tourism , particularly for city tours . Visit any major tourist city in summer, sit outside a cafe for a while and there’s a good chance you’ll see a group of tourists passing on Segways.

1.How do you turn to the left on a Segway of the new model?

A. Lean to the leftB. Adjust the twist grip

C. Press the left bar D. Control the gyroscope

2.How far can you travel on a Segway at most?

A. Less than 19 kmB. About 19 km

C. About 38 km D. Over 45 km

3.The Segway is most commonly used by .

A. familiesB. golfers

C. policeD. tourists

4.Which of the following correctly shows the order in which information about the Segway is provided?

A. Introduction→Ways of application→ structure→Principle of operation

B. Introduction→ Principle of operation→Structure →Ways of application

C. Introduction → Structure → Principle of operation →ways of application

D. Structure→ Introduction→Principle of operation→Ways of application

5.Which of the following pictures shows the Segways being used?
