　　【多维精练】第二节 （共小题；每小题分，满分0分）

　　Passage 1

　　In the 60s, people asked about your astrological (about star) sign. In the 90s, they want to know your website.

　　36

　　Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The Web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.

　　37

　　Like the table of contents of a book or magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it.

　　While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout(版面设计). At the top of the page is a banner(横幅)GRAPHIC. Next comes a greeting and short description of the site. Pictures, text, and links to other websites follow.

　　38

　　Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that you want to put on the site.

　　While there are no rules you have to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind:

　　39

　　If you want too much at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add to your site.

　　Less is better. Most people don’t like to read a lot of long texts online.

　　40

　　Smaller is better. Since it can take a long time to download large files, keep the file sizes small.

　　Have the rights. Don’t put any material on your site unless you are sure you can do it legally. Always remember to get the permission from the writer first.

　　Now it’s time to roll up your sleeves and start building.

　　A. Start simply.

　　B. Break it into small pieces.

　　C. Draw a rough layout on a sheet of paper.

　　D. Many websites are considered very interesting.

　　E. Before you start building your site, do some planning.

　　F. Think of your home page as the starting point of your website.

　　G. These days, having a web address is almost as important as a street address.

　　Passage 2

　　How to relax when you get into a traffic jam

　　Waiting in a traffic jam is upset, frustrating and stress-producing. 16.___ One of the most stressful occasions of the day is when you are sitting in a traffic jam. It is for this reason that many people feel worried about the commute to and from work (上下班交通). Their commutes cause so much stress for them that they can ruin the rest of their days. 17.___

　　·Turn on you car radio to your favorite music station. 18.___ If the stress of your commute has already gotten to you, start with a pleasant and smooth classical station to calm you down, so that you can regain control.

　　·Listen to the music that is playing. Focus on the music. Notice the differences of the musical beats and the tones. If there are lyrics (歌词), think or sing along to them.

　　·19.___ Hold this breath for 10 seconds. Slowly let the breath out through your mouth.

　　·Repeat deep breathing as often as needed to make your heart beat slow and reduce stress. There are many times during a traffic jam that your heart can start to race.

　　·20.___ Setting an inner alarm to the time when you have to be somewhere is just going to add to your stress. There is nothing that you can do to make the traffic move faster, so just relax.

　　A. Keep calm when your heart beats fast.

　　B. Take a deep breath through your nose.

　　C. So you’d better try to avoid such a traffic jam.

　　D. The more cheerful the music, the more it will reduce the stress.

　　E. Forget about timelines, where you have to be, and by what time.

　　F. Follow these simple steps to reduce stress while sitting in a traffic jam.

　　G. If you have ever ridden in a car, you must have experienced a traffic jam.

　　Passage 3

　　Any car accident is frightening, but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is absolutely terrifying.

　　36

　　However, most deaths result from panic, without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water. By adopting a brace (支撑) position, acting decisively and getting out fast, you can save yourself from a sinking vehicle.

　　Brace yourself for impact (撞击力). As soon as you're aware that you're going off the road and into a body of water, adopt a brace position. The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle, so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the "ten and two" position.

　　Undo your seatbelt.

　　37

　　Untie the children, starting with the oldest first. Forget the cell phone call. Your car isn't going to wait for you to make the call.

　　38

　　Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window. A car's electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water, so try the method of opening it electronically first. Many people don't think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking.

　　Break the window. If you aren't able to open the window, or it only opens halfway, you'll need to break it with an object or your foot. It may feel counter-intuitive (有悖常理的) to let water into the car.

　　39

　　Escape when the car has equalized. If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has become balanced, you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival.

　　40

　　While there is still air in the car, take slow, deep breaths and focus on what you're doing.

　　A. Open the window as soon as you hit the water.

　　B. Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think.

　　C. It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with water usually.

　　D. Such accidents are particularly dangerous to the risk of drowning.

　　E. In conclusion, if you know what to do in the water, you will be safe.

　　F. This is the first thing to attend to, yet it often gets forgotten in the panic.

　　G. But the sooner the window is open, the sooner you can escape directly through it.

　　Passage 4

　　B．You get excited if you receive a text message or an e-mail from a friend

　　Passage 5

　　A new report says plastics are responsible for $13 billion in damage to the oceans and the undersea environment. The findings were announced recently at a United Nations conference．

　　36

　　Plastic thrown away carelessly makes its way into rivers and other waterways.

　　37

　　After a while, it collects in the sea. And plastic never goes away. Plastic is not biodegradable—destroyed by bacteria or natural processes. Instead, it just breaks up into smaller pieces over time. The oceans contain a lot of chemicals and other pollutants.

　　38

　　That means harmful material may get into our food supply.

　　39

　　Human beings cause pollution and they can take steps to stop it. They can use fewer single use product containers and throw plastics away correctly. Plastic recycling programs also works—where old bottles and other plastics are collected, broken down and used to make new products. We could reuse bottles in our households many times if we wish to, rather than end it after the first use. We could, when we get rid of that plastic, recycle it and reuse it, which replaces the need for raw materials.

　　The report also calls on companies to improve methods for using plastics.

　　40

　　And it calls for information about the way plastic is thrown out or removed from use. By putting a new value on plastic, industry has a special reason to clean up the environment.

　　But all of the companies must join to deal with the problem.

　　A. The plastic eventually reaches coastal areas and ocean waters.

　　B. But people can make a big difference.

　　C. Plastics should be gathered together and reused.

　　D. Then, fish may eat the plastics.

　　E. It is convenient to use plastic bags in everyday life.

　　F. It asks for them to better measure and direct plastic use.

　　G. The report tells about harm to sea life and what might be done to improve the situation.

　　Passage 6

　　We spend so much time waiting to be loved, hoping love will find us, and looking for that special love．Unfortunately, that’s not usually how life works. To be loved, you should love and respect yourself as much as you do others. In order to love someone, you should love yourself．

　　●Stop comparing yourself to others．36．We all have different gifts．When you compare yourself to others for what they have, whether it is a car, a house, or a job, it makes you feel bad about yourself. Really be grateful about everything you have. Gratitude keeps your heart open to love．

　　●Practice

　　receiving

　　love. To truly love is to be able to receive it. When someone loves you, does some kind deeds to you, or says kind words, accept it．37．Know that you are worthy of love. It is important to accept a gift of love by others. You give yourself a chance to learn more about yourself that you are lovable．38．

　　●39．Write about your experiences, good and bad. When you write down good experiences, allow yourself to feel those feelings. When you remember bad experiences, allow yourself to feel self-compassion. Compassion is not self-pity, but rather willingness to accept one's own pain and regret．
