.阅读理解
AMy mother through her fine example instilled
(慢慢灌输) within me the desire to help others.She taught me to notice those whom others ignore.
The railroad tracks were within a mile of our house.Beggars frequently would knock at the doors in our neighbourhood in summer asking for food.They were often turned away.Others simply ignored the knocks.
My mum always went to the door smiling.She would invite them to stay and have something to eat.She would have me open up the card table and carry a chair out onto the covered side porch (走廊).There was a nice view into the flower gardens,and it was cool even on the hottest days.
She would bring a red and white tablecloth and set the table as carefully as she did for any company.She would pour their coffee and pile their plates with food and dessert.Usually she sent a packed lunch with them when they were ready to go,too.Sometimes she would take the newspapers to those who asked about work.
She listened to those who wanted to talk.She never asked what would lead them to be in this difficult situation.It did not matter.She saw only the need.Some thought she should not extend this courtesy (礼貌).She would say,“In the depression (萧条时期) when my father was searching around for any work to feed us,thoughtful people fed him.I am just repaying their kindness.I cannot offer them money,but I can see they do not leave hungry and discouraged.”My mum was quite a lady.
1.The writer's house was frequently visited by beggars because.
A.they seemed to be very rich
B.his mother was known to be generous
C.they lived near a railway station
D.there was a railway near their house
解析:由第二段前两句可知,铁轨从他们家附近经过,所以总有乞丐前来乞讨,故选D。
答案:D
2.How did the writer's mother treat beggars?
A.She was on guard against them.
B.She looked down upon them.
C.She respected them equally.
D.She took pride in them.
解析:be on guard against sb.“提防某人”;look down upon“瞧不起”;take pride in “为……感到骄傲”。这三项显然不是作者母亲的态度。由第三段和第四段可知,她是平等地看待乞丐的,故选C。
答案:C
3.The writer's mother sometimes took out newspapers.
A.for the beggars to kill time
B.to teach the beggars how to read
C.to help the beggars who asked about work
D.to help the beggars to find their families
解析:根据第四段最后一句“...to those who asked about work.”可知,本题应选C。
答案:C
4.Which of the following can make an explanation for the mother's attitude to beggars?
A.Her father was once helped by others.
B.Her father liked to help beggars.
C.She was once a beggar herself.
D.Her mother taught her to help beggars.
解析:根据最后一段母亲的话可知,她的父亲在大萧条时期曾受到过别人的善待,作为回报,她也善待乞丐。
答案:A
B
Researchers believe that the insect is better at managing congestion(拥挤) than humans.Ants are the most numerous type of animal on Earth with brains that contain about 250,000 cells—the largest among insects.
Now collective intelligence expert Dr.Dirk Helbing says understanding more about ants could help solve one of the headaches of modern life—road congestion.
His team set up an “ant motorway” with two routes of different widths from the nest to some sugar syrup (糖浆).Soon the narrower route became congested.But when an ant returning along the congested route to the nest collided with another ant just starting out,the returning ant pushed the newcomer onto the other path.However,if the returning ant had enjoyed a troublefree journey it did not redirect the newcomer.
The result was that just before the shortest route became clogged the ants were diverted (转移) to another route and traffic jams never formed.
The researchers also created a computer model of more complex ant networks with routes of different lengths.The team found that even though ants being rerouted sometimes took a longer route,they still got to the food quickly and efficiently.
Dr.Helbing,of the Dresden University of Technology in Germany,said that while you cannot allow cars to collide with vehicles coming in the opposite direction as a form of traffic control,you could do the next best thing and allow them to communicate.
His plan is to force cars traveling in one direction to tell oncoming vehicles what traffic conditions they are about to encounter—so they can take evasive (回避的) action if necessary.
5.The first paragraph implies that.
A.ants are clever and good at dealing with traffic jams because of developed brain function
B.ants have a special way to manage congestion
C.insects are similar to animals in dealing with traffic jams because of developed brain function
D.insects have more advantages than humans
解析:在昆虫中蚂蚁大脑的细胞最多,所以比较聪明,擅长处理交通问题。
答案:A
6.The underlined word “clogged” can be replaced byin the following four words.
A.cleaned
B.crowded
C.narrowed
D.shortened
解析:语境为:在最近的路线变得拥堵之前,蚂蚁就转向了另外一条路线,如此,“交通堵塞”永远不会出现。由此可知划线词为“拥挤”之意。
答案:B
7.If an ant returns along the crowded route to the nest,how will the ant solve the traffic problem?
A.The ant will change the direction of its own.
B.The ant will stop the newcomer from moving ahead and force the newcomer to wait here patiently.
C.The ant can't redirect the newcomer.
D.The ant will push the newcomer to the other route,so traffic jams won't form.
解析:由第三段的第三句话可知答案。
答案:D
8.What's the advice that Dr.Helbing gives us?
A.The cars cannot be allowed to communicate with vehicles coming in the opposite direction.
B.The cars can communicate with vehicles in the same direction.
C.The cars travel in one direction and tell oncoming vehicles about the traffic conditions.
D.We should build more routes of different lengths and widths.
解析:由最后一段可知答案。
答案:C

.任务型读写
阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
The earth's ocean can reach depths of up to 11,000 metres.That is deep enough to cover Mount Qomolangma!Marine(海洋的)scientists divide the oceans into five zones.Each zone is different mainly as a result of how much sunlight reaches it.
Most of the life in the ocean can be found in the first zone,which begins at the surface and goes down to about 200 metres.Because there is sunlight at this level,plants are able to grow.Marine animals such as dolphins,sharks,sea turtles and sea lions,and of course a variety of fish,live in the sunlight part of the ocean.It is difficult to hide from other animals in the area,but many species have adapted by becoming dark on the top and light on the bottom.This makes it hard to see them against the dark water below and the blue sky above.
The second starts at 200 metres and goes down to about 1,000 metres.Some sunlight can reach this level,but it is not enough for plants to grow.Because this zone is relatively dark,many of the creatures that live here are able to make light with their body.The light from these animals makes the water look like a sky with moving stars in it.
The third zone is dark.This place,about 3,000 metres deep,may not seem a likely habitat(栖息地),but there are more creatures here than one might think.Most of the animals that live here are black or red because of the lack of light.At this depth,a slow shower of what looks like snow is falling.This phenomenon,called“marine snow”,is actually nutrients falling towards the bottom of the ocean.It is a source of food for the creatures that live in the deep.
Below 4,000 metres,the temperature is near freezing and there is no light at all.In fact,the zone is so dark and empty that scientists named this zone after the Greek word for“no bottom”.There is not much life to be found in this cold and unpleasant part.But some creatures manage to survive here despite high water pressure.
The very deepest part of the ocean is 2,000 metres further down.At this depth,the water pressure is extremely high and life is very difficult for the few creatures that live here.Compared to the other zones,this one has very little life.Since there is no light here,some animals don't have eyes.When scientists explored the very deepest parts of the ocean,they did not expect to find any life at all.It turned out that there are creatures as far down as 10,000 metres.They usually survive by living close to deep sea vents,“chimneys”that send out gases from within the earth.
