The British people love talking about the weather. This hot summer, Europe was caught in the heat wave, and many parts of China were also been struggling with record-breaking temperatures. Therefore, there’s plenty for the British people to
get excited about.
But beside from a simple“hot”, what other ways are there to describe the summer heat? Apart from phrases like“boiling hot”, there are many interesting expressions that relate to unbearably hot weather.
Dog days of summer
In books and newspaper articles, the period from early July to mid-August is often referred to as the“dog days of summer”. Some think the expression means the weather is so hot that dogs go wild. But in fact, the expression comes from 16 th century and refers to the days on which Sirius(天狼星)—the Dog Star—rises at the same time as the sun. The Romans associated the hot weather with this star and would sacrifice a dog every year in April to stop the anger of Sirius.
So hot you can fry an egg on the sidewalk
This expression needs no explanation and although its origin is unclear, it hasn’t stopped thousands of curious tourists from testing if the saying is true, with the result that sidewalks in Death Valley, California—the hottest place in the US—are now littered with broken eggshells. Early in July, the local government asked tourists to stop their cooking experiments. Even so, it is actually possible to fry an egg on the sidewalk, so long as you use a frying pan with a lid and the temperature is at least 49℃.
（1）What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Some expressions about hot weather.
B.The heat wave in the world.
C.Sirius is associated with the hot weather.
D.Death Valley—the hottest place in the US.
（2）According to the passage, how long does“dog days of summer”last?
A.About one month.
B.About two months.
C.About two months and a half.
D.About one month and a half.
（3）What caused broken eggshells littered around sidewalks in Death Valley?
A.The hot weather.
B.The curiosity of tourists.
C.The permission of the local government.
D.The origin of the expression.
（4）Which of the following is NOT necessary to test the last expression about hot weather?
A.On the sidewalk.
B.A frying pan with a lid.
C.The temperature(≥49℃).
D.In the hottest place.

【答案】
（1）A
（2）D
（3）B
（4）D
【解析】（1）主旨大意題。文中第一段以幽默的方式介紹了今年夏天全球的熱浪, 其目的是引出本文的中心, 故B項錯誤; 第二段的最后一句話是整篇文章的主題句, 故A項正確; C、D兩項都是文 章中的一部分, 范圍小了。（2）細節(jié)理解題。由第三段的第一句In books and newspaper articles, the period from early July to mid-August is often referred to as the“dog days of summer”. 可知“dog days of summer”持續(xù)大約一個半月。（3）推理判斷題。由最后一段可以看出好奇的游客為了驗證當(dāng)?shù)氐目釤崾欠衲軌颉癴ry an egg on the sidewalk”, 不顧當(dāng)?shù)卣母嬲], 仍然堅持做這項實驗, 故B項正確。（4）推理判斷題。文章中提到的關(guān)于熱浪的最后一個習(xí)語是“So hot you can fry an egg on the sidewalk”, 故A項是一個必要條件; 由最后一段的最后一句可知B、C是必要條件; D項范圍太大。

【題目】The Loss of Innocence

Innocence is such a precious gift． It’s explained as freedom from guilt or wrong doing． Just imagine never having to worry about anything and having a guilt free mind． Some people wish to save this kind of innocence from being lost from childhood to adulthood．

What would the world be like if innocence were never lost？One way it would benefit humanity is the lack of hatred （仇恨） among the world． During youth，there may be an occasional argument， even a little physical fight， but nothing like firing a handgun at a fellow human being． And children are blind towards the racial differences of others． A kid will hang out with any other kid． It is the lack of innocence and the ignorance we learn from adults that influence children otherwise． Another benefit is the constant desire for fun and adventure． With very little if any time at all for fun， the adventurous mind is lost in time with the responsibilities placed upon adults．If innocence were kept alive， these ambitions would never depart from our lives．

However， other people actually hate the idea of innocence lasting forever． They feel that the lack of organization and mental power of those with innocence would cause extremely destructive consequences to society in general． A large number of individuals would never have the urge to learn，work， and act upon the necessary needs for humanity to survive． Without a proper education which is usually provided by those who no longer live in a world of innocence， people would not have the desire to succeed， get a good job in life， or provide income for their families， which would hurt the lives of children．

The lack of a good education and career would also harm the economy． As long as innocence is kept alive， no one would be terribly angered at the lack of effort people put out in the workplace， resulting in a strong decline in production and quality of needed goods．

Maybe it is wrong in wanting to save innocence． It sure is a nice thought，though． Perhaps innocence was meant to be lost． It was god’s will to make things the way they are， and there is a good purpose for everything． All that remains to be said about innocence is to enjoy it while it lasts.

【1】The author believes that the loss of innocence in adulthood should be ________.

A．a(chǎn)voidedB．condemnedC．a(chǎn)ccepted D．inspired

【2】Lifelong innocence would be beneficial to society in that ________.

A．proper education would be provided

B．there would be no racial discrimination

C．more happy families would be guaranteed

D．people would realize their childhood dreams

【3】According to the author, people with innocence can hurt the economy with their lack of ________.

A．motivational will

B．mental ability

C．a(chǎn)dventurous ambitions

D．needed goods

【4】Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？

A．

B．

C．

D．

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。
I never thought I would have a life-changing experience a t Wal-Mart.
Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier.
There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, he’s an old guy!
For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, “How’ s it going? ”. But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversations.
I thought it was odd. I has grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of a robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don’t give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live, ”and someone would reply, “Have a great day! ”
But that wasn’t the end.
He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked the customers in the eyes. “I sure want to thank you for shopping here today, ”he told them. “You have a great day. Bye-bye. ”
The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture—and in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling.
Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name, Marty.
Who was that guy? It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy’s body.
I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.
（1）The checkout line the writer was standing in moved slower than expected because.
A.the cashier couldn’t work as fast as others
B.there were some big purchases
C.the cashier did more than scanning the items
D.the writer was not patient enough
（2）According to the writer, when common people ask you “How’s it going? ”.
A.they don’t really care what you may answer
B.they are just practicing their conversation ability
C.they are inquiring about your private information
D.they don’t expect to hear any negative answers
（3）What can we infer about Sam Walton?
A.He might be Marty’s father or grandfather.
B.He might be friendly and devoted to Wal-Mart.
C.He might have died while working in the market.
D.He might have come back from the dead once before.
（4）What does the writer intend to express through the text?
A.Our everyday life is always full of surprises.
B.Most customers enjoy being treated this way.
C.Being different is a good way of doing business.
D.A little positive action can make a big difference.

【題目】 Do you suppose Darwin, one of the greatest scientists of all time, really did foolish experiments? Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish?
Sometimes, people think they already know the answer to a question or the solution to a problem. Sometimes, they really do know an answer or a solution, but without thinking they are important.
Charles Darwin didn’t settle for(滿足于)just thinking he knew something. And, he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.
Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape. If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way. Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight little ball and let it drop along with the other sheets. What happens? You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn’t be worth anything.
But this simple experiment is important. It explains part of our present-day understandings of physics, ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton. And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek physics.
Scientists sometimes stop to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them. Even the simplest idea, which we might think is foolish, can shake the foundations of science.
（1）The passage tells us that Charles Darwin.
A.was a great English scientist
B.always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficult
C.thought even the simplest thing was important
D.didn't get well with others
（2）The underlined phrase “set aside” most probably means.
A.throw away
B.store up
C.put to use
D.realize
（3）The author of the passage tries to.

B.draw the conclusion that basic sciences are simple things
C.prove that two sheets of paper, with the same size and shape, will fall at the same speed
D.draw our attention to everyday happenings around us
（4）Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Darwin really did foolish experiments.
B.According to some people Darwin did foolish experiments.
C.It is believed by all the people that things could be important though they seemed to be simple.
D.Galileo and Newton worked out ancient Greek physics.

Injuries and deaths caused by driving after drinking are preventable. Sadly, actions by the police can only catch a small number of drunk drivers on the roads. It is up to each person to make the decisions. 【1】 So we should help guide our friends and persuade them to avoid driving after drinking. Here are some tips.

Start talking to the person early. With every drink, judgment becomes increasingly uncontrolled. 【2】 So as soon as your friend starts drinking, you should try to persuade him to make a plan to get home safely. Remember, after he gets drunk, he may not listen to you.

Help the person realize he is drunk. Talk to him and show him that he is increasingly clumsy. 【3】 For example, ask who you can call to pick him up, or what public transport he would like to use. If he knows he is drunk, he may follow your advice.

Make last efforts. If all else fails and a drunk person wants to drive home, threaten to call the police or take his keys. 【4】 When he is not concentrated, take his keys. This may make it easier to convince him to take a cab home. Remember, don’t give him the keys even if he’s angry.

【5】 If you once drove home after you got drunk, your friend may not listen to you. So in order to succeed in persuading your friend to avoid driving after drinking, you should behave yourself first.
