Modern teaching equipment as well as some computers ________ to the village school last week.

A．were sentB．was sentC．has been sentD．had been sent

B

解析試題分析：句意：上周現(xiàn)代教學(xué)設(shè)備和一些電腦被送往村莊小學(xué)。因為這里有時間狀語last week所以用過去式，這里Modern teaching equipment是主語，所以謂語動詞用單數(shù)。故選B。
考點：考查主謂一致及動詞時態(tài)的用法。
點評：本題難度適中。主謂一致及動詞時態(tài)是高中階段的重要的兩項語法項目，它們的各種情況比較多，需要考生牢記它們的用法，但是把兩者結(jié)合一起來考查更增加了試題的難度。
即學(xué)即練：The League secretary and monitor _____  asked to make a speech at the meeting  yesterday.
A.is; to hold            B.was; held
C.are; to be held        D.were; held
解析：B。并列主語the League secretary and monitor表示同一概念，謂語動詞用第三人稱單數(shù)形式，同時由于the meeting已經(jīng)舉行了，所以用過去分詞形式表示完成。

Coffee has a history dating back to at least the 9th century and has been a catalyst for social interaction across cultures and eras. Originally discovered in Ethiopia, coffee beans were brought into the Middle East by Arab traders, spreading to Egypt, Yemen, Persia, Turkey, and North Africa by the 15th century. Muslim merchants eventually brought the beans to the thriving port city of Venice, where they sold them to wealthy Italian buyers. Soon, the Dutch began importing and growing coffee in places like Java and Ceylon (largely through slave labor), and the British East India Trading Company was popularizing the beverage in England. Coffee spread across Europe and even reached America.

Where there has been coffee, there has been the coffeehouse. From the 15th century Middle Eastern establishments where men gathered to listen to music, play chess, and hear recitations from works of literature, to Paris' Cafe le Procope where luminaries of the French Enlightenment such as Voltaire, Rousseau, and Diderot came to enjoy a hot cup of joe, coffeehouses have traditionally served as centers of social interaction, places where people can come to relax, chat, and exchange ideas.

The modern coffee shop is modeled on the espresso and pastry-centered Italian coffeehouses that arose with the establishment of Italian-American immigrant communities in major US cities such as New York City's Little Italy and Greenwich Village, Boston's North End, and San Francisco's North Beach. New York coffee shops were often frequented by the Beats in the 1950's. It wasn't long before Seattle and other parts of the Pacific Northwest were developing coffee shops as part of a thriving counterculture scene. The Seattle-based Starbucks took this model and brought it into mainstream culture.

Although coffeehouses today continue to serve their traditional purpose as lively social hubs in many communities, they have noticeably adapted to the times. Rediscovering their purpose as centers of information exchange and communication, many coffee shops now provide their customers with internet access and newspapers. It has become extremely common to see someone sitting at a Starbucks listening to music or surfing the web on his or her laptop. Coffee stores today also maintain a fairly identifiable, yet unique aesthetic: wooden furniture and plush couches, paintings and murals drawn on walls, and soft-lighting combine to give coffee shops the cozy feeling of a home away from home.

Today, big business retail coffee shops are expanding quickly all over the world. Starbucks alone has stores in over 40 countries and plans to add more. Despite its popularity, Starbucks has been criticized and labeled by many as a blood-sucking corporate machine, driving smaller coffee shops out of business through unfair practices. This has even spawned an anti-corporate coffee counterculture, with those subscribing to this culture boycotting big business coffee chains. Increasingly popular coffee stores such as The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf are also giving Starbucks some stiff competition. In any case, it seems pretty clear that coffee has weaved itself into the fabric of our consumer-oriented culture.

Which of the following is the correct order of coffee spreading in history?

   ①Egypt           ②America    ③the Middle East    ④Netherlands    ⑤Venice

   A. ①③④②⑤      B. ③①⑤④②            C. ①⑤④③②           D. ③②⑤④①

We can infer from the passage ________.

A. Starbucks has beaten all the competitors       

B. there are no changes in the development of coffee culture

C. the taste of coffee has changed a lot

D. Starbucks has some effect on the development of coffee culture

The famous coffeehouse “Starbucks” originally come from _______.

   A. Seattle                B. Ethiopia                   C. Java                         D. France

Nowadays, if you come to a coffeehouse, you can _______.

   A. play chess with other customers               

B. enjoy delicious dishes from South America

   C. surf the internet                                     

D. watch a TV play

Fans of the British royal family around the world are making plans for April 29th, 2011. That’s the date that Prince William and Catherine Middleton are to tie the knot at Westminster Abbey in London.

A royal wedding is a rare and unique event in Britain so for many it’s something worth celebrating, particularly if you are in the business of making memorabilia (收藏品).

Producers of these souvenirs are wasting no time in manufacturing key rings, mugs, teapots and tea towels, mostly with the faces of the happy couple emblazoned on the front. These are the must buy items that royal followers want to get their hands on.

Some people may argue the royal wedding is a huge public cost but production and sale of memorabilia is good for business. Former politician, Lord Archer, has commented that, “In this age when we are trying to balance the books, the royal family are a great benefit to Great Britain Limited.”

A porcelain-making company, called Royal Crown Derby, is already manufacturing souvenir pottery. Louise Adams from the company says “we started designing, truly, about two years ago.” It is big business for China too, where much of the merchandise that marks the big event is made.

But why are people so keen to get their hands on a commemorative mug, so much so that one British supermarket has already seen them flying off the shelves?

Obviously, we like to remember an event like this and maybe it makes us feel as though we are part of the occasion. However their monetary value is likely to be low. Eric Knowles from the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow claims, “The vast majority of it will be worthless.”

Modern day souvenirs tend to be mass-produced making them cheap and easy to find. However limited edition or high-end items tend to keep their value and could be a better investment for the future.

But there is one thing we can guarantee that won’t be mass-produced and cheap. That’s the wedding dress for Princess Catherine, as Catherine Middleton will be known.

(   ) 1.. From the first three paragraphs we can learn that         .

    A. many fans of the British royal family will be invited to London on April 29th, 2011

    B. Prince William and Catherine Middleton are getting married at Westminster Abbey on April 29th,

2011

    C. many fans of the royal family will tie the knot on the same day in London

    D. fans of the royal family will join in making souvenirs

(   ) 2..  The obvious feature of the souvenirs mentioned in the passage is that         .

    A. they are all tiny and easy to carry

    B. some of them are linked with tea

    C. all of them are marked with dates and pictures

    D. most of them display the pictures of the couple

(   ) 3.. It can be inferred from the passage that         .

    A. the production of souvenirs has begun long before the big event

    B. the sale of souvenirs has not begun yet

    C. people buy souvenirs mainly for their monetary value

    D. production of souvenirs has little profit

(   ) 4..  Which of the following is a better investment according to the passage?

    A. Souvenirs that fly off the shelves.      B. Best-selling souvenirs

    C. Mass-produced souvenirs.             D. Souvenirs released limitedly.

(   ) 5..  What’s the writer’s attitude towards producing and selling souvenirs?

    A. Supportive.          B. Negative.        C. Uninterested.            D. Indifferent.

The Chong Yang Festival is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, and it is also known as the Double Ninth Festival.

The festival began as early as the Warring States Period (475BC-221BC). According to the yin/yang dichotomy(二分法), yin represents the elements of darkness and yang represents life and brightness. Among Chinese numbers, nine belongs to positive numbers and it is regarded as yang. The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is a double yang day; hence people start to say Chong Yang Festival. The ninth month also predicts the approach of winter. It is a time when the living need warm clothing, and Chinese sons and daughters extended this to make the festival a time for providing winter clothes for their ancestors. The Double Ninth Festival, therefore, also became an occasion to visit the graves of dead family members. Clothes made of paper would be burned as offerings.

The Double Ninth Festival sees various activities. On the Double Ninth Festival, people usually climb mountains, appreciate chrysanthemums (菊花), drink chrysanthemums wine, and eat cakes. Ancient people thought climbing a mountain on this day could help them avoid misfortune and prevent disasters, and this gradually evolved into a relaxation and exercise.

Ancient people used to wear cornel (山茱萸) and admire chrysanthemums. Cornel is a kind of plant with edible(可食用的) fruit, while its stem and leaves have medicinal value. To prevent plague(瘟疫) and drive off smelly smells, people wear cornel and chrysanthemums on the Double Ninth Festival, and drink tea and wine made from the flowers.

Nowadays many people will still climb mountains, admire chrysanthemums, appreciate the beautiful scenery of autumn and eat cakes. In recent years, new contents have been added into this ancient festival, which has become a time to show respect for the elderly. People hold various activities in honor of senior citizens, wishing them good health and a long life.

The Double Ninth Festival is also a time for family get-togethers. It is an occasion to remember one’s ancestors, the sacrifices they made and the hardships they underwent. Often, family outings are organized during which people search to renew their appreciation of nature and to reaffirm(重申) their love and concern for family members and close friends.

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：閱讀理解

Last Sunday I made a visit to some new neighbors down the block. No specific purpose in mind, just an opportunity to sit at the kitchen table, have some tea and chat. As I did so, it occurred to me how rare the Sunday visit has become.
When I was a kid in the New Jersey of the 1960s, Sunday visits were routine. Most stores were closed and almost nobody worked. My family normally traveled eight city blocks to the home of my grandmother, where adults would sit on the front porch and chat while we children played hide-and-seek.
The Sunday visit was something to desire strongly. It was the repetition to church, our reward for and hour of devotion, and opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Dad was not at work, we were not in school, and there were no chores that couldn’t wait until Monday. Sunday was, indeed, which means that there was one day when everyone seemed to have time for everybody else.
Sunday as a day of rest is, or was, so deeply rooted in the culture that it’s surprising to consider that, in a short span of time, it has almost entirely lost this association.① In my childhood, it was assumed that everyone would either be home or visit someone else’s home on Sunday. But now the question is, “What do you plan to Do this Sunday?” The answer can range from going to the mall to participating in a road to jetting to Montreal for lunch. If one were to respond, “I’m making a Sunday visit to family,” such and answer would feel strange, an echo from another era.
I suppose I should be grateful to live in Maine, a state of small towns, abundant land tight relationships. Even though folks work as hard here as they do anywhere else, the state’s powerfully rural cast（特質(zhì)）still harbors at least remnants（剩余部分）of the ethic of yesterday’s America, where people had to depend on one another in the face of economic vagaries（反復(fù)無常的情況）and a challenging environment.②

  1. 1.

    The writer’s general impression of the Sunday in the past was a day when_________.

    1. A.
      everyone would pay a visit to some relative far away
    2. B.
      everyone seemed to be free and could have some leisure
    3. C.
      Dad was not at work while Mom was busy cleaning the house
    4. D.
      nearly every adult would go to church and children were not at school
  2. 2.

    What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?

    1. A.
      People nowadays prefer staying at home on Sunday
    2. B.
      People in the city dislike being disturbed on Sunday
    3. C.
      Such answers are rarely heard in our modern society
    4. D.
      Visiting someone on Sunday might take a lot of time
  3. 3.

    From the last paragraph we may infer that people in Maine____________.

    1. A.
      suffer more from economic depression and the changed environment
    2. B.
      have abandoned their tradition and lived an absolute new life
    3. C.
      have tense relationships with each other
    4. D.
      always help each other when they are in need
  4. 4.

    What is the writer’s attitude towards the Sunday today?

    1. A.
      Unsatisfied
    2. B.
      confused
    3. C.
      Respectful
    4. D.
      Thankful
