On any weekend throughout the year one can spend hours browsing through neighborhood flea (跳蚤) markets.These are very popular for those who are in search of bargains and who have a keen eye for picking through what others have discarded.They hunt and search for something they can reuse.Americans love secondhand merchandise (商品) which can be bought cheaply and restored to its original use.In many cases the condition and the quality are still good, though the style might be outdated.

       For some people searching through flea markets is a hobby which reaps rewards.They look for possible antiques among the items for sale or for old furniture which can be restored with a little care and used again.Many wise collectors often find rare items worth much more than their bargained price.Since prices are usually not fixed, if one is persistent a bargain can easily be struck.The owner may be selling a rare collectable and may not even be aware of its value.One of the great pleasures of shopping at such markets is the chance to bargain with the shop owner and settle for a price which one can afford and is willing to pay.

       Perhaps even more enjoyable than flea markets are the weekend outdoor garage sales which have now become very much a part of American culture.These are held usually in the spring and fall when the weather is still good.Usually a homeowner, having decided that he would like to clear his residence of accumulated items which are no longer useful to him, advertises in a local paper that he is holding a garage sale.More than likely the goods on display are in good condition and great buys can be found if one has the time and patience to search carefully.The home owner places items for sale on display along the driveway leading to his garage or on his front lawn and waits for people to look at what he has to sell.Old magazines, books, paintings, bicycles, ice-skates, items of clothing and electrical appliances of every sort appear on a regular basis.If the owner is in a position where he must sell his home or plans to move soon, then he may be forced to practically give things away at a price far below their true worth.

What do you usually do before holding a garage sale?

       A.Put on an advertisement in a local newspaper.  

     B.Display your goods in front of the garage.

       C.Find rare items and fix their prices.                    

       D.Clear your garage and front lawn.

The underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

       A.distributed          B.rejected            

       C.discovered         D.stored

When people shop at a flea market, how can they settle on a price?

       A.They can bargain on a price acceptable to both.   

       B.They can question their value.

       C.They can expect a 50% discount.                 

       D.They can compare with the other sellers.

What do we know about the garage sale?

       A.It is only held in the spring of the year.        

       B.The goods on display are totally useless.

       C.Garage sales are popular with Americans.       

       D.All the goods are selling far below their real value.

With the Indian economy predicted to grow by 7.5 percent this year, experts say it could be time for Western CEOs to learn some lessons from Indian CEOs.The key differences between Indian and Western bosses are:

       Social purpose

       One of the most important things is that Indian leaders lead with a sense of social purpose.Every leader in India gave a specific social purpose as being the goal of their business.Those purposes ranged from improving healthcare to getting cell phones to people who didn't have access to communication tools.Having a social purpose motivates workers.

       Invest in employees

      Indian firms invest an enormous amount in their employees' training and development.IT firms typically offer 60 days of formal training for newly hired workers and they even spend months training experienced workers.A study said that Western firms have largely abandoned investing in employees, seeing it as a waste if they quit.But Indian bosses believe that investing in employees ensures the quality of those who stay at the company.

       Take the long view

       Indian bosses stress far less on shareholders than it is typical at Western business.As a result they're more able to take a long-term view.Western companies can't just ignore their shareholders, but their CEOs can do more to protect their -employees from short-term financial pressures, letting them get on with their jobs.

       Work from their strengths

       Western companies often think about strategy in terms of chasing customers or pursuing market opportunities, but Indian firms will more often start by identifying their strengths and customers’ needs, and then try to meet those needs.

       Act as a role model

       Being a personal role model for their employees is an amazing thing for a CEO.If Western bosses could think of themselves as role models, it would have a real impact on their workers.

Indian CEOs use their sense of social purpose to _________.

       A.improve the workers' healthcare system

       B.provide cell phones to people in need

       C.motivate and encourage their employees

       D.promote the development of communication systems

Western firms have largely abandoned investing in employees’ training and development because _______.

       A.it takes too long to complete the formal training of newly hired workers

       B.they often hire experienced workers who don't need much training

       C.they are afraid of the losses brought about by the resignation of employees

       D.they don't care about the quality of the employees in their firms

Which of the following is TRUE about Western bosses?

       A.They stress on workers more than shareholders.

       B.They always act as role models for employees.

       C.They are good at identifying their own strengths.

Boys’ schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.

Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity (陽剛), the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to conform to(符合、順應(yīng)) a stereotype(老套), a US study says.

Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to conform to the“boy code”of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.

The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.

Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being faded by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.

The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.

But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys’ learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study’s author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.

Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision learned best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around. “Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modern genre (類型) in which violence and sexism are major themes.” James wrote.

Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to conform to a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships. “ In mixed schools boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means.” the study reported.

1.The author believes that a single-sex school would ____ .

A.force boys to hide their emotions to be "real men"

B.help to cultivate masculine aggressiveness in boys

C.naturally strengthen the traditional image of a man in boys

D.encourage boys to express their emotions more freely

2.It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys _____ .

A.behave more responsibly

B.grow up more healthily

C.perform relatively better

D.receive a better education

3.What does Tony Little say about the British education system?

A.It fails more boys than girls academically.

B.It focuses more on mixed school education.

C.It places more pressure on boys than on girls.

D.It fails to give boys the attention they need.

4.According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is ______.

A.boys can focus on their lessons without being disturbed

B.teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys

C.boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in

D.teaching can be designed to promote boys’ team spirit

5.According to Abigail James’ report, it can be inferred that boys tend to _____________________.

A.have sharper vision.

B.conform to stereotypes.

C.enjoy being in charge.

D.be violent and sexist.

科目:高中英語 來源:2010年甘肅省高二下學(xué)期期末考試英語卷 題型:閱讀理解

BEIJING — The rescue operations at a coal mine accident have ended with 105 miners dead.The State Council has organized an investigation team to probe (調(diào)查) into what caused the disaster in the city of Linfen, North China’s Shanxi Province.Preliminary investigations show the illegal mining of an unauthorized seam, and the number of miners who had been sent down the shaft far exceeded its capacity.

This mine was found to have long disregarded the rules to steal state coal, and did not have a list of miners employed to check the number of miners missing after the accident.

      How did such a coal mine get all the necessary licenses for production? How did it pass the three safety inspections the local government organized last month?

In response to this disaster, the Shanxi governor promised to set up hotlines for people to report illegal coal mines and rewards as high as 100,000 yuan for tip-offs.

We appreciate the action this governor has taken to solving the coal mining problems, and we believe that the reporting scheme will help to stop the existence of illegal coal mines.

But at the same time we have reason to question how governments at various levels supervise these mines.

The sad fact that such a mine with serious safety problems could pass three consecutive local government safety inspections in a month is enough to tell us how ineffective the safety inspections were.

What if these inspections were just a formality? What if the inspectors were bribed by the mine owners to turn a blind eye to the safety dangers? We can well imagine what would happen if reports about mine problems were handled by such officials.

So a thorough probe must find out who are responsible for the death of so many miners.A real safety inspection and management system must be established to guarantee that safety dangers will be removed.

1.What is NOT one of the causes of this coal mine accident?

A.The workers didn’t operate properly.

B.The mine didn’t obey the rules to mine for coal.

C.A lot more miners than allowed were working under the mine.

D.The safety inspections were ineffective.

2.According to the writer, who should be further investigated?

A.Mine owners and miners.

B.Miners’ families and mine staff.

C.Government officials and safety inspectors.

D.The Shanxi governor and miners.

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A.More than 105 miners died in the disaster.

B.Some other coal mines like this one exist in Shanxi province.

C.Safety inspectors just turned a blind eye to hidden dangers.

D.The three inspections were only a formality.

4.What does the underlined word “tip-offs” probably mean in Paragraph 4?

A.Some warnings.

B.Some money for one’s service.

C.Some secret information.

D.Some pieces of advice.
