But still there is a danger that grows every year．Airliners get larger．Some airplanes can hold over 300 passengers．And the air itself becomes more and more crowded．If one giant airliner crashed into another in mid-air, 600 lives could be lost．

．Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb, and when to come down．The air traffic controllers around a busy airport like London-Heathrow may handle 2500 planes a day．Not all of them actually land at the airport．Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there．

Recently such a disaster almost happened．One, with 69 passengers, had come from Toronto, and the other, with 176 passengers, from Chicago, An air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other．He ordered one to turn to the right and to climb．But he made a mistake．He ordered the wrong plane to do this．Fifteen seconds later it flew directly in front of the second plane．They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second．The distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. .

       A． Even a small mistake on their part could cause a disaster．

       B． Two large jets were flying towards the airport．

       C． Nowadays people like traveling more by air than by car．

       D． Today, air travel is far safer than driving a car on a bus motor-way．

       E． This is an example of the danger that grows every year．

       F．  In a word, air travel is more dangerous, we should choose others．

       G． From the moment an airliner takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screen．

There are two ways to save money traveling. The first way is to get the best deals on the specific things you want. There is a limitation to this type of approach (途徑，方法) though. If you find the lowest price on the best hotel in Honolulu at the height of the season, you will save money, but still have a very expensive vacation. Trying to get exactly what you want will generally be an expensive proposition, in travel and in life.
The other approach is to be a true opportunist. This will be difficult for some of you, and entirely unacceptable to others. Nonetheless (盡管如此)，the travelers who get to travel the most, go to the widest variety of places, learn the most and do the most, are the opportunists. This will be true until you are so wealthy that you have no monetary (貨幣的；錢的)limits.
The first time I went to Ecuador, I went there because it was cheap. If it wasn’t, I would have had a great time—somewhere else. The trip lasted a month, and cost $1045, which included airfare and even the $130 fee for a guide to take me to the top or glacier (冰川) covered Mount Chimborazo.
I cut the cost by taking a bus from my home in Michigan to Miami, and back again when I returned from Ecuador. The round-trip ticket cost $158. The round-trip flight to Quito from Miami was only $256, because it was a courier (信使，通訊員) flight, which meant I signed for some luggage(car parts), and  could only take carry-on luggage.
Never did I feel deprived, or bored. I had a great time, eating wherever it was cheap and clean, doing all sorts of inexpensive, but interesting things, and traveling across the country to climb Chimborazo. I also met and fell in love with my wife Ana.
Being an opportunist means you’ll have just as much variety, and probably almost everything you want—eventually. You just have to stop trying to get exactly what you want exactly when you want it. If the guide that took me up Chimborazo hadn’t dropped his price from $200 to $130, I would have spent $2 for a bus and gone hiking on EI Altar, another great Andean mountain. That would have left me with enough money for several other minor adventures.
【小題1】The underlined phrase “the best deals” in the first paragraph probably refers to ______.

A．the best serviceB． the lowest price
C．the cheapest goodsD． the best approaches
【小題2】The return tickets from his hometown to Quito cost the author ______.
A．$128B． $256C． $207D． $414
【小題3】The last paragraph was to tell us how to ______.
A．save money for minor adventures
B．cut down traveling costs.
C．deal with different situations
D．become opportunist travelers
【小題4】It’s suggested that the author _____.
A．went hiking on El Altar
B．traveled with his wife in Ecuador
C．is an opportunist traveler
D．likes traveling around the world
【小題5】Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?
A．Cheap Travel SecretsB． Travel Secrets
C．A Travel OpportunistD． Travel Tips

Suppose you want to bring home a new cat and are looking for a way to really make it feel at home. Actually, all you need to do is buy some nice cat furniture and have it in place by the time you bring it into your home.
The first thing that you should prepare is a cat house. Two to three feet off the ground is the best height. If you don’t have enough room for a cat house, a cat bed is also a nice choice.
Once you have a nice spot where your cat can go to feel safe, then it’s time to get cat furniture that offers your pet a nice place to play. One nice choice is cat trees. Scratching posts (貓抓板) are another great idea if you are short in space, but still want to give your cat a nice place where it can claw (抓) at instead of your own furniture.
If you’re looking for a great way to shop for cat furniture, simply turn on your computer and do some online shopping. In no time will you be able to skim all the offerings from many online stores. What’s great is that you can easily compare products and their prices, so you can get what you want at the best possible price. And, probably the nicest thing about online shopping is that your purchases may be shipped right to you, so you don’t have to waste time making a trip to the store.
So, if you have brought a new cat into your home, make sure that home is an inviting one by buying some new cat furniture. Without it, your cat might feel lost and unsafe, which you definitely do not want to happen.
【小題1】What should you do first before you bring a cat home?

A．Find a proper place for the cat to sleep.
B．Buy a cat house and some cat furniture.
C．Learn how to take care of the cat.
D．Know how to buy cat furniture online.

科目：高中英語 來源：2012屆四川省資陽市高三第二次高考模擬考試英語試卷 題型：閱讀理解

Forget chip fat, sugar cane or rapeseed oil — the latest source of biofuel could be watermelons. Scientists have discovered that the fruit is a great source of sugar that can be readily distilled (蒸餾) into alcohol to power cars and farm machinery.
And sellers reject 360,000 tons of “substandard” fruit every year in America alone which could be used as an economical way to make fuel. The waste from US growers could produce nearly two million gallons (nine million litres) of biofuel per year.
In the study, researchers at the United States Department of Agriculture set out to determine the biofuel potential of juice from rejected watermelons —those not sold due to cosmetic imperfections, and currently ploughed back into the field. About a fifth of each yearly watermelon crop is left in the field because of surface blemishes (瑕疵) or because they are misshapen.
Dr. Wayne Fish, who led the team, found that 50 percent of the fruit was fermentable (可發(fā)酵的) into alcohol which could provide valuable fuel.
“We’ve shown that the juice of these watermelons is a source of readily fermentable sugars, representing an unexploited raw material for alcohol biofuel production,” he said.
The study, published in the journal Biotechnology for Biofuels, discovered that watermelons could produce around 20 gallons of fuel per acre from fruit that otherwise would go to waste.
Production of biofuels has been targeted by Western governments as a way to support renewable energy targets.
The European Union has a target for 2010 that 5.75 percent of transport fuels should come from biological sources, but the target is unlikely to be met.
The British government’s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation requires five percent of the fuel sold at the pump by 2010 to be biofuel.
【小題1】The passage mainly tells us ______.

A．watermelon juice will be the largest source of renewable energy
B．the advantages of fuel made from watermelons
C．Western countries aim at producing biofuels
D．watermelons could be used to make fuel
【小題2】 It can be learned from the text that ______.
A．a(chǎn)bout two gallons of fuel could be made from rejected fruit per acre
B．sellers in the world throw away 360,000 tons of watermelons every year
C．half of the watermelons were fermentable into alcohol to provide energy
D．five percent of fuel is required to be biofuel from watermelons by 2010 in Britain
【小題3】The underlined word “cosmetic” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.
A．freshB．sweetC．surfaceD．inside
【小題4】We can infer from the passage that ______.
A．it will cost a lot to make biofuel from watermelons
B．Western countries are engaged in biofuel study but still have a long way to go
C．watermelon juice has been used as a source of sugars to produce alcohol biofuel
D．the European Union is likely to meet its target of transport fuels from biological sources

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
Doctors say anger can be an extremely harmful emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that angry feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm, reasonable way. Others burst with anger, losing control of themselves. But still other people control their anger. They cannot or will not express it.
Recently some doctors have found that people who express anger too often and violently become, in fact, more and not less angry. This can cause medical problems. Some doctors say that both controlling and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger strongly may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who deep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. ”
