We have many wonderful teachers who are always ready to   42   help.   43   we pay a lot of attention to how well we do in lessons,   44   high scores is not the only reason to study. The teachers encourage us to try out new ideas and ask questions.   45   their help we have developed all kinds of interests in both Arts and Science. Students can choose to   46   any school clubs they are   47   in. We can also choose the subjects that we want to study. Last term I selected American Literature, because I wanted to learn about famous American writers. This term I chose to attend music classes because my father bought me a piano   48   a birthday present.
  49   , I was elected monitor of my class,   50   it can be   51   to be a monitor,   52   I have to do a lot of work and attend many meetings.   53   , being a monitor has taught me a lot, such as caring for others and taking responsibilities and so on. When my class was given the title of “Model Class”, I was   54   than ever before. So being a monitor plays an important part in my school life. I’m very pleased with my work.

You can not see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes. Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.
When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.
Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.
小題1:You can see the book because_______.
A．your eyes are close to it B．it reflects some of the sunlight
C．it has light of its ownD．your eyesight can get to it
小題2:The underlined word “l(fā)uminous” means_______.
A．visibleB．a(chǎn)ll colorsC．giving off lightD．sunlight
小題3:________ have light of their own.
A．The sun and the moonB．The stars and the earth
C．The sun and the starsD．The moon and the earth
小題4:Which of the following is true?
A．All the things you can see give off light.
B．Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.
C．The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes.
D．Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

For many years there’s been a debate about rewarding our children. Does it work? Is it effective?
Some people think we should establish a standard with our kids and give them something for meeting this standard as a reward. Punishment is given out in much the same way, but it’s used when certain standards of performance, behavior, etc. have not been met. Kids will often become more dutiful when threatened with punishment, and work harder when promised a valuable reward. The problem is what happens when you aren’t around.
To develop responsible, self-disciplined kids, parents need to promote certain ideas. One of these ideas is that everyone pitches in and helps in your family. Another idea is that there can be enjoyment in doing any task if we choose to make it so. When a task is for a worthy cause ( our family can enjoy the house more because I helped clean it), this message can have a big impact.
This is how we help our kids develop a sense of responsibility. When our children develop this responsibility, they’ll be more disciplined, and they’ll control their emotions better. When we give rewards to our kids, we reduce the sense of responsibility. We also create children who may temporarily perform to a certain standard, but who aren’t likely to continue the performance without the carrot hanging in front of them. 
“Rewards and punishment can change behavior for a while, but they cannot change the person who engages in the behavior,” said Alfie Kohn, author of Punished by Rewards. “Good values have to be grown from the inside out.” Parents can help give their children a sense of shared responsibility and discipline which can last a life time. The real rewards that your children receive will be their readiness for the complex and demanding world that waits for them—a world that rewards those who have learned the secrets of discipline responsibility. So keep those shiny rewarding to yourself, and let your kids find their own rewards.
小題1:According to the passage, when children are threatened with punishment, ______.
A．they may lose interest in their work
B．they may appear to be well-behaved
C．they may change to another person
D．the results will be worse than usual
小題2:What can we know from Paragraph 3?
A．Parents should promote certain ideas to help children develop.
B．Children should be responsible for their discipline.
C．Children should help build a good family atmosphere.
D．No children will adapt to society without their parents’ help
小題3: The underlined part “the carrot” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to _____.
A．rewardsB．a(chǎn)imsC．a(chǎn)pologiesD．doubts
小題4:According to the passage, Alfie Kohn would agree that parents should ______.
A．never pay attention to the way their children do things
B．show their children how to behave by example
C．never punish their children
D．help their children establish good values
小題5:What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Do you often reward your children?
B．Should parents reward their children?
C．When should parents reward their children?
D．What can parents reward their children with?

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Women are on their way to holding more than half of all American jobs. The latest government report shows that their share of nonfarm jobs nearly reached fifty percent in September.
Not only have more and more women entered the labor market over the years, but the depression has been harder on men. In October the unemployment rate for men was almost eleven percent compared to eight percent for women.
Industries that traditionally use lots of men have suffered deep cuts. For example, manufacturing and building lost more jobs last month. But health care and temporary employment services have had job growth. Both of those industries employ high percentages of women.
Thirty years ago, women earned sixty-two cents for every dollar that men earned. Now, for those who usually work full time, women earn about eighty percent of what men earn. And women hold fifty-one percent of good-paying management and professional jobs.
Yet a study released Thursday said men still hold about nine out of every ten top positions at the four hundred large companies in California. The results have remained largely unchanged in live years of studies from the University of California, Davis.
Also, a new research paper in the journal Sex Roles looks at the experiences of women who are the main earners in their family. Rebecca Meisenbach at the University of Missouri in Columbia interviewed fifteen women. She found they all valued their independence and many enjoyed having the power of control, though not all wanted it.
But they also felt pressure, worry and guilt. Partly that was because of cultural expectations that working women will still take care of the children. Also, men who are not the main earners may feel threatened.
The job market continues to suffer the effects of last year’s financial crash. Now, a judgment has been reached in the first case involving charges of criminal wrongdoing on Wall Street.
Last week, the government lost its case against two managers at Bear Stearns, the first investment bank to fail last year. A jury found Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin not guilty of lying to investors.
The hedge funds they supervised lost their value in two thousand seven. But jurors said there was no clear evidence that they meant to mislead investors.
The Justice Department continues to investigate other companies.
小題1:Why is the unemployment rate for men higher.
A．Because there are more men workers in industries.
B．Because many industries mainly employing men now don’t need so many workers.
C．More and more women take the place of men.
D．Because health care and temporary employment services don’t employ men.
小題2:It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A．women haven’t got complete equality as men
B．only by becoming the main earners in their family can women gain a high position
C．a(chǎn)ll women now value independence and the power of control
D．taking care of children is now shared by men and women
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Men hate that women earn more money.
B．It is commonly believed that women should take care of children.
C．The job market has recovered from the effect of the financial crisis.
D．Now women working full time earn more than men.
小題4: Why does the government accuse two managers?
A．They contributed to the financial crash.B．They led a corrupt life.
C．They lied to investors.D．A jury found them misleading investors.

Cosmo Books Ltd.,                         14, Woodman Road,
Hertford Estate,                            Two Bridges,
Rickmansworth,                            West Sussex.
Middx.
25th February
Dear sir,
Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo books Ltd., offered this set ( eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at what was claimed to be a ‘remarkable’ price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare’s plays and poems for some time, and these books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive; so I sent for them.
Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered. So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere, in French. Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all. However, I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.
You did not reply to that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds , and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I hardly know what I have. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.
I have no room for any more books, and even if I read from now until the Last Judgement, I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.
Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment. Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.
Yours faithfully,
SIMON WALKER
小題1:Simon Walker wrote the letter to ________

Sony and Toyota are struggling. But one brand name is booming (繁榮) in Japan during the economic slowdown—Mickey Mouse.
According to the company that runs Tokyo Disneyland, Japan’s busiest theme park will be more packed than ever over Christmas and New Year’s Day. Despite the bad economy, it’s already been a record year for an escape which is cheaper than the average night out in pricey Tokyo.
“Here, economic depression (蕭條) seems a world away,” visitor Namie Katsunuma said. “This is the only place where I can totally forget the economic worries and hardships of my life.”
The single mother’s salary at an auto factory was cut in November but, with her $500 yearly pass in hand, she makes the 95-km journey from her home to Tokyo Disneyland every couple of months.
The park’s operator, Oriental Land Co, estimates (估算) a record 26.5 million people will visit Tokyo Disneyland and its nearby sister park, Disneysea, during the financial year ending in March. The company is forecasting sales of a record $4.2 billion, up almost 10 percent.
“In a way, the economy works well for Tokyo Disneyland,” said Hiroshi Watanabe, an economist at the Tokyo-based Daiwa Research Institute. “Because of the economic depression, people have stopped buying cars and houses or going to Hawaii, and Tokyo Disneyland offers an affordable and pleasant alternative.”
Around the world, Disney’s theme parks have been a bright spot for the brand this year as people seem to look for an escape from bad times.
小題1:According to the passage, what happens to Tokyo Disneyland this year?
A．Fewer people visit it.B．Less money is made.
C．It attracts more visitors.D．Its sales have reached $4.2 billion.
小題2:What can be the possible reason for Tokyo Disneyland’s boom?
A．It costs less money to play here than in any other theme park.
B．People have a new understanding of amusement.
C．The economic depression has changed people’s plans to spend money.
D．Visitors seek an escape from economic depression.
小題3:What does the underlined word “alternative” mean in the sixth paragraph?
A．choice.B．park.C．time. D．trip.
小題4:According to the last paragraph, what is the writer probably going to write?
A．The theme parks that attract most visitors.
B．More examples of success of Disney theme parks.
C．Tokyo Disneyland’s plan for the next year.
D．The economic depression in other companies.

The emperor penguin is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species and lives in Antarctica. The male and female are similar in size, reaching 122 cm in height and weighing anywhere from 22 to 45 kg. The back and head are black, contrasting sharply with the pale-yellow breast and bright-yellow ears. Like all penguins, it is flightless, with a streamlined body and their wings stiffen and flatten into flippers(鰭狀肢) for a marine habitat.
Its diet consists primarily of fish, but can also include animals with hard shells. In hunting, the species can remain underwater up to 18 minutes, diving to a depth of 535 m. Its unusually structured hemoglobin(血紅蛋白)allows it to function at low oxygen levels.
The emperor penguin is perhaps best known for the journeys adults make each year in order to mate and to feed their babies. The only penguin species that breeds(繁殖) during the Antarctic winter, it goes on a long journey of 50-120 km over the ice to breeding areas which may include thousands of individuals. The female lays a single egg, which is incubated(孵化)by the male while the female returns to the sea to feed; parents take turns searching for food at sea and caring for their chick. They both care for the chick until it is able to enter the water to find food on its own. During the process of incubation, the male can lose up to 1/3 to 1/2 of his body weight. One of the coolest things about the male is that if the chick comes out its egg before the female returns, the male can actually produce a special liquid to feed the chick. He can only do this for a short time. If the female doesn’t return, he must leave the chick to go on with his own life. The emperor penguin can typically live for 20 years in the wild, although observations suggest that some individual may live to 50 years of age.
小題1:We can learn from paragraph 1 that ____.
A．the emperor penguin is the world’s largest kind of penguin
B．the emperor penguin has pale-yellow ears
C．the male and female emperor penguins are of different sizes
D．the emperor penguin lives in the most northern area on the Earth
小題2:The emperor penguin can stay underwater for a long time mainly because of its ____.
A．strong wingsB．streamlined bodyC．structured hemoglobinD．special diet
小題3:The emperor penguin differs from other penguin species in that ____.
A．it gives birth in the Antarctic winterB．it feeds mainly on fish
C．the male won’t search for food on his ownD．it can only live for a short time
小題4:According to the passage, ____.
A．the egg of the emperor penguin is mainly incubated by the female
B．many emperor penguins will stay together to breed
C．the male emperor penguin will give up his own life to feed the chick
D．the female emperor penguin will leave the chick forever once it lays an egg
