【題目】Living with other people can be difficult, especially when each person has their own ideas about how they want to live. 1. Taking a few simple steps will help you share your living space harmoniously.

Discuss your expectations ahead of time.

2. This applies to finances, food, possessions, use of common areas, loud activities or parties, quiet hours, and so on.

Divide responsibilities.

Make a plan to divide up responsibilities and chores(家常雜務(wù))between you and your roommate. For example, if your roommate is a good cook and you are not, 3. It may also be a good idea to set up a chores schedule, where you will take turns cleaning the bathroom, raking out the trash and so on.

4.

Not everyone has the same ideas about day to day living as you do. Take your roommate’s feelings into consideration. For instance, if you are dying to throw a party on Thursday night but your roommate has a final early the next morning, agree to postpone the party till Friday evening, instead.

Communicate effectively.

Communication is key in making the relationship work. If a problem comes up, it’s better to talk about it right away than to ignore it. For example, say “Chris, it upsets me when I wake up to find all the milk gone. If you use the last of something, can you please add it to the list?” If you simply cannot communicate openly and there is tension all the time, 5.

A. Be prepared to compromise

B. Create a roommate agreement on Internet use

C. ask him or her to cook if you’ll clean up afterward

D. you may as well find a new roommate

E. Though having a roommate can be challenging, it can also be enjoyable and fun from the other

F. People may have different religious or political views that could cause conflict

G. Talk about what each of you needs and wants in advance

【答案】

1E

2G

3C

4A

5D

1上文提到和其他人住在一起生活是很困難的,特別是當每個人關(guān)于他們想要如何生活都有自己的想法時。再根據(jù)下文提到采取一些簡單的步驟可以幫助你和諧地分享你的生活空間。承接上下文,EThough having a roommate can be challenging, it can also be enjoyable and fun from the other“雖然有一個室友是很有挑戰(zhàn)性的,但從另一個人那里也可以得到享受和樂趣。切題。該項中的challenging和上文的difficult相吻合;該項中的enjoyable and fun和下文的share harmoniously對應(yīng)。

3分析if your roommate is a good cook and you are not, ___3___.的結(jié)構(gòu),可知該句是if引導的條件狀語從句,此空所填內(nèi)容應(yīng)該是小寫開頭,根據(jù)前半句如果你的室友是個好廚師,而你不是,承接前半句,Cask him or her to cook if you’ll clean up afterward“讓他或她做飯,如果你事后收拾干凈切題。該項中的cook與上半句中的a good cook匹配。

4此空屬于小標題,應(yīng)該用短小精悍的祈使句。本段第一、二句提到不是每個人都有和你一樣的日常生活的想法。把你室友的感受考慮進去。由此可知,A Be prepared to compromise“準備妥協(xié)符合題意。

【題目】閱讀理解
Their cheery song brightens many a winter's day. But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much. Robins are singing all night一as well as during the day, British-based researchers say.
David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clocks, leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.
Dr Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of sleep could put the birds' health at risk. His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night.
He told people at a conference, "There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energy."
And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr Dominoni said, "In Glasgow where I live, gulls are a serious problem. I have people coming to me saying `You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill these gulls?'.During the breeding(繁殖)season, between April and June, they are very active at night and very noisy and people can't sleep."
Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.
However, some birds thrive(興旺)in noisy environments. A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery. It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators(天敵)fleeing to quieter areas.
(1)According to Dr Dominoni's study, what cause robins to sing so much?
A.The breeding season.
B.The light in modern life
C.The dangerous environment.
D.The noise from heavy machinery.
(2)What is the researchers' concern over the increase of birds' song output?
A.The environment might be polluted.
B.The birds' health might be damaged.
C.The industry cost might be increased.
D.The people's hearing might be affected.
(3)What does the underlined word "nocturnal" in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Active at night.
B.Inactive at night.
C.Active during the day.
D.Inactive during the day.
(4)Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments?
A.Because there are fewer dangers.
B.Because there is more food to eat.
C.Because there is less light pollution
D.Because there are more places to take shelter.

【題目】語法填空
Gift from a stranger
My local supermarket is always busy. The first parking space I found was convenient, but I'd noticed a woman in a blue car circling for a while. I was in a good mood, I let her have it. On the edge of the car park I backed into the next available spot—it was a tight fit.
Pretty soon I'd made my way through the supermarket and was back in the fresh air. Feeling good, I(empty) my purse change into the hands of a homeless man and helped a struggling woman reverse park(倒車).
Just as I approached my car, 1 saw the woman I'd let have my car space earlier. She was giving me odd look—half puzzled, half intent (熱切的). I smiled and wished her a pleasant day. As I squeezed back into my car, I spotted the same lady (look) in at me. "Hello," she said, hesitantly. "This _ sound crazy but I was on my way to drop some of my mother's things off at the charity bins.” You are just so much her.” You helped those people, I noticed, and you seemed so happy.” She looked at me meaningfully and passed a box in through the window. “I think she would like you to have it.” (shock), I took it from her automatically. She smiled and walked away.
After a pause, I opened the box. Inside was a beautiful gold necklace with a large grey pearl. It was (nice) gift I'd ever received, and it was from a complete stranger. The necklace was around my neck, a warm reminder of human kindness.

We found a small area next to a stream. Then we started a fire with some leaves and sticks 3 (collect) nearby.

While I was watching over the fire, Ned brought more plants, 4 were put in the water and then slowly thrown into the fire. The wet leaves created a lot of smoke.

Please find us!” They were made into paper boats and sent downstream, one every five minutes. We hoped that these boats would draw somebody’s attention.

Supposing our group was well 6 their way, we wanted to be ready for 7 (they). Ned and I started to look for two hollow logs(空心圓木)and a few strong 8 (stick). Our small fire still produced plenty of smoke. Soon we were very lucky to hear whistles(哨子聲)far in the 9 (distant). I was sure it must have been the smoke that worked.
