The biggest danger facing airlines nowadays may not be a terrorist with a gun, but the man with portable computer in business class. In the last 16 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference (電磁干擾). The source of this interference remains not proved, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic devices such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.

RTC.A. an organization which advises the aviation (航空 )industry, has suggested that all airlines ban such devices from being used during "critical" stages of flight particularly take- off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights .Cur- rently , rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some air- lines prevent passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are un- willing to carry out a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flight.

The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft's computers. Experts know that portable devices send out radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory. they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be. dangerous or not.

The fact that aircraft may be fragile to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who can 't hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music's too loud.

1.What is said about the over 100 aircraft incidents in the past 16 years?

A. They may have been caused by the damage to-the radio systems.

B. They may have taken place during take-off and landing.

C. They were proved to have been caused by the passengers portable computers.

D. They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.

2.Why is it difficult to predict the possible effects of electromagnetic fields on an airplane 's computers?

A. Because it is extremely dangerous to conduct such research on an airplane.

B. Because it remains a mystery what wavelengths are liable to be interfered with.

C. Because research scientists have not been able to produce the same effects in labs.

D. Because experts lack adequate equipment to do such research.

3.Few airlines want to perform a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices because_______

A. they don't believe there is such a danger as radio interference

B. the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved

C. most passengers refused to take a plane ,which bans the use of radio and cassette players

D. they have other effective safety measures to fall back on

下面文章中有5個(gè)段落需要添加標(biāo)題（第61-65題）。請從以下選項(xiàng)（A、B、C、D、E和F）中選山適合各段落的標(biāo)題。選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)是多余選項(xiàng)。

A. Get started!

B. Forget your failures.

C. Find and use your positive voice.

D. Think about how far you have come.

E. Spend time with people who inspire you.

F. Accept failure as a positive learning experience.

Realizing your dreams is not a matter of possibility; it's a matter of motivating yourself to focus on the right things. You know you should be doing something, but sometimes you just don't feel like doing anything. This discouraging situation can last a long time if you don't head it off and take action. Here are some daily motivation tricks that might work for you.

1.

This is by far the most important tip in this article, because in the end, all of the other tips in the world won't make as much of a difference as this simple and timeless instruction: Sit down and get a move on! Do you feel the push-back of laziness? Reading more about motivation won't help. Reviewing your to-do lists won't help. Only doing actually helps get everything going. So stop thinking about how hard the task is going to be or how long it's going to take you. Not starting is failing. Tell yourself, "As soon as I get going, I'll feel more motivated." And you'll realize it's not nearly as hard as you thought it would be.

2.

Be aware of your self-talk and stay confident. You have the choice to replace negative self-talk with a more encouraging and friendly voice. A voice that will consider your aim as not just a possibility, but a probability; A voice that does not look at the possibility of success before taking action, but rather uses self-belief as its driving force; A voice that all things are possible to those who commit to their dream.

Tell yourself over and over again that you can do it. See what effect it has. Persist with this kind of possibility and eventually you'll feel better about whatever it is you want to get done, and you'll even start to fool yourself into believing it's true.

3.

There is no better way to recharge yourself for improvement than spending time with someone who motivates you. They are smart and can always encourage you to be better. Study their qualities. Study their habits. Surround yourself with them, talk to them, learn from them; they are already living and producing results at a level you admire and expect to. Compare stories, successes and failures. Let their inner light guide you.

4.

You have made so much progress, you just don’t realize it. Open your eyes and give yourself credit for all that you have done. Think about it. Write down your past successes. Consider using a journal to keep track of them. You’ll probably be pleasantly surprised when you review your results. It’s a great motivator to see how much you have improved and how far you have come. Be happy with your progress and move on.

5.

Do not judge unsuccessful attempts and mistakes as an indication of your future potential, but as part of the growth process. Something does not have to end well for it to have been one of the most valuable experiences of a lifetime. When times get tough, take a deep breath, and know that most great things come when you least expect it. Being defeated is a temporary condition; giving up is what makes it permanent. And most people that gave up didn’t realize how close they were to success. Push through!

How to be a good tourist

We travel for work but also for fun and learning. New restaurants, galleries, temples and new architecture…These places are homes for people like us who live and work there. How would you want visitors to behave in your own home? Think about it 1. There are many ways of doing this without sacrificing our own holiday.

Do your homework. 2. Guides will help you when you get to site, but is that the best place to go? Is it popular only because the one-day tourist can see it easily or because it is really a worthwhile place to visit? You’d better check it out.

3. Don’t go to your hotels for meals. Walk around, even if in the streets closest to your hotel. Eat in local restaurants .Talk to the locals. Learn a few in the local language and use them. You will surely get a smile from the hotel staff and street sellers .

Help preserve the sites. Most of the sites you visit may be visited by millions of people a year, so care needs to be taken to allow others to enjoy them as well. Some of these monuments are so old and fragile that they are sensitive to the touch of hands or bags and shows. 4. This way, you don’t encourage the use of those plastic bags that fly all over many sites.

And here’s the big one—good manners are nearly universal. 5. If that doesn’t sound like you, then give the world a break and stay home.

A. Experience the place.

B. Always have a cloth bag with you.

C. Read up on the places you want to visit.

D. Try to buy something from the local stores.

E. A good tourist is polite, positive and eco-sensitive.

F. We’ve cleaned up after ourselves and taken only good memories.

G. If we are good tourists, wherever we go, we try to make it a little better because of our visit.

Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or the other, you’ll have to stand up and say – problem, I don’t want you in my life.

科目：高中英語 來源：2013-2014學(xué)年江西省協(xié)作體高三第二次聯(lián)考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

There is no denying that over the years college education has been accepted without the slightest doubt. All high school graduates should go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more, become “better” citizens and be more responsible than those who don’t go.

But college can never work its magic for everyone. Now with half our high school graduates attending college, those unfit for the pattern are getting more. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the fierce competition for admission into graduate schools. Others find no stimulation (激勵(lì)) in their studies, and consequently have to drop out, which is often encouraged by college administrators.

Some observers say the fault lies with young people themselves --- they are spoiled and expecting too much. But that’s a condemnation (譴責(zé)）of the students as a whole, and doesn’t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame our society. Both are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can’t absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.

Some campus watchers suggest that college may not be the best, the proper or the only place for every young person after finishing high school. It seems that through the rosy (玫瑰的) glow of our own college experiences, we may have been looking at those surveys and statistics upside down. Perhaps college does not make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, or quick to learn things—maybe it is just the other way around. Intelligent, ambitious, happy, quick-learning people are merely those who are attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful even without college education. This is heresy (異端邪說) to those who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to pile up.

1.According to the first paragraph, ______.

A. people now no longer challenge college education

B. people have great expectations for college education

C. the author thinks youngsters should all go to college

D. people still have a low opinion of college education

2.More young people drop out of college because ______.

A. they are no longer motivated in their studies

B. they can start selling shoes and driving taxis

C. they compete for admission to graduate schools

D. college administrators encourage them to do so

3.Who does the author think is responsible for campus unhappiness?

A. young students who are all spoiled and expecting too much.

B. our society that can’t offer enough jobs to college graduates.

C. our society that has not enough jobs for high school graduates.

D. young people as well as our society are to blame for all this.

4.Which of the following statements is TRUE about those surveys and statistics?

A. They prove high school graduates are smarter than college graduates.

B. They are so convincing that we think of our rosy college experiences.

C. They may have been misread because of our rosy college experiences.

D. They prove wrong because they contradict our rosy college experiences.

5.What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?

A. It is just the opposite B. There is no right way

C. It is the wrong way D. There’s no other way

6.What is the main purpose of this passage?

A. To inform young people college education is no longer important now.

B. To prove college education doesn’t make young people more intelligent.

C. To argue against the idea that college is the first choice for all youngsters.

D. To tell young people that there’s something wrong with college education.
