【題目】Dear Windows Internet Explorer.

Our relationship has been strained(緊張的)for a long time.Of course. it’s not all your fault,and nor is it a11 mine.Our intermediary is also to blame;my hated Gate-way PC. which runs far too slowly. But that does not get you off the hook.

You see,Windows Internet Explorer.I can no longer deal with your ridiculous loading time.Sure,at one time I found it attractive--even--sexy for my browser to take ages to log in or load a web page.But not any more My life is fuller than it was, and I don’t have time for you to semi-load and then stop.

Also.a(chǎn)s much as I loved it when we got together, your refusal to log me into some of my necessary accounts.such as email and MySpace.has become a problem. It was unfair of you, and I should not have submitted to your cruelty and mistreatment.

A third reason for my leaving you may seem mean:you are simply far too sickly. You are constantly contracting new viruses.a(chǎn)nd your immune system is terrible·I don’t have the time or the money to care for you any more. It may seem unfair,but you will have to survive on your own. I cannot keep curing you.going through and finding all your corrupted(損壞的)files,cleansing our intermediary’s system because you have given it some virus,bug or spyware. It takes far too much time and energy,which I do not have.

Windows Internet Explorer,you did wonderful things for me that,at the time,no other could do.But,my dear.times have changed,and while you have,too,you have not changed enough. I am 16 now,nearly a grown woman,and I cannot tolerate your childish ways As much as I once cared about you,I fear that the time has come for us to part.

Your former friend,

Kirsty

【答案】

1A

2C

3C

4B

【解析】本文是一封分手信。作者因為微軟的Windows Internet Explorer這款瀏覽器有眾多缺點而要放棄使用它。

1A

猜測詞意題。根據(jù)第一段劃線詞的下文my hated Gate-way PC. which runs far too slowly.可知,我的電腦也運行太慢了,可以猜測出the intermediary是指電腦。故選A.

2C

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段I cannot keep curing you, going through and finding all your corrupted(損壞的)files,cleansing our intermediary’s system because you have given it some virus,bug or spyware.可知,是我不愿意去找到電腦已經(jīng)損壞的文件去修理它。不是電腦不能自動找到損壞的文件而讓我放棄它。故選C.

3C

推理判斷題。本文是一封分手信。作者因為微軟的Windows Internet Explorer這款瀏覽器有眾多缺點而要放棄使用它。所以可以推斷出作者的這封信是帶有批評的態(tài)度的。故選C.

【題目】Everyone, please imagine, a big explosion breaks out as the plane takes us high in the sky. The plane is full of smoke and the engine sounds scary. Two minutes later, the engines are turned off. We are now sitting in a plane with no sound. And we can see: Life is over.

That really happened. In January 2009, I had a front-row seat on Flight 1549, the plane that crash-landed in the Hudson River in New York.

Now let me tell you the three things I learned when the silence came.

First, I thought about all the people I wanted to reach out to but didn’t. I thought about all the experiences I wanted to have but never did. I no longer wanted to put off anything in life. Second, I really regretted the time I wasted on things that did not matter. I decided to remove negative energy from my life. Third, I realized, wow, dying was not scary. But it was very sad just because I only wished I could have seen my kids grow up.

Fortunately, I was given the gift of a miracle of not dying that day. I was given another gift, with which I was to see into the future and come back and live differently.

About a month later, my wife and I were at a performance by my daughter, not much artistic talent. Yet, I’m crying. I realized that above all, the only goal in my life was to be a good father.

Audience, again, imagine the same thing happening on your plane. How would you change? What would you get done? And more than anything, are you being the best parent you can?

Thank you.

1Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Air crash is always a tragedy.

B. What I learned from the air crash.

C. Life is a miracle as we imagine.

D. How to become a good father.

2When does the idea “Life is over” come into being?

A. Exactly during the explosion.

B. When the plane was full of smoke.

C. Before the engines sounded scary.

D. When the engines were turned off.

3What is the author’s final goal in life?

A. Never to put off anything in life.

B. To remove negative energy from life.

C. To see his daughter grow up.

D. To be a good father.

4What type of writing is this text?

A. A speech on one’s air travel experience.

B. An emergency crash-landing guide.

C. An introduction of an adventure novel.

D. A safety training for air passengers.
