News that Microsoft was making a $44.6 billion bid to buy Yahoo was greeted with heated discussion by many Internet users on Friday. Here are some responses:
Mark Galeassi of Kansas City, Missouri
This is the best move for both parties. Yahoo has the ideas and Microsoft has the money to finally market these ideas correctly. Microsoft and Yahoo are a perfect fit and the deal will be good for consumers.
Scott G of New Jersey
I was a Yahoo user for years along with Hotmail from Microsoft. Then Google came along: Google Earth, Google Toolbar and Gmail. Google is so innovative (創(chuàng)新的) with everything they do. Yahoo and Microsoft... same old story... I don’t think the merger (合并) will do anything for either company except improve the Yahoo shareholders’ bank accounts.
Michael Glosser of Estero, Florida
Right now, Yahoo offers a lot of features and tools at no cost for all different levels of Internet users. Microsoft seeks nothing but profit. Undoubtedly, they’ll do nothing other than find ways to start removing Yahoo’s formerly non-priced features. Microsoft’s greed will ruin the great thing that Yahoo currently is.
Toni Suarez of Hacienda Heights, California
Perhaps it would bring better high technology innovations to e-mail and help in researching and developing a better Internet!
Antonio Simmons of Parkville, Maryland
Microsoft purchasing Yahoo would be nothing more than an attempt from Microsoft to further impose upon the users their poor-quality software and obtain more wealth for the company. In my opinion, they will never be able to compete with Google because Yahoo and Microsoft’s current search engines are too inferior (差的) to compete. Even if combined, they still lack.
【小題1】Who is in favor of the merger of Microsoft and Yahoo?

A．Antonio Simmons. B．Michael Grosser.
C．Scott G.D．Mark Galeassi.
【小題2】In the opinion of Scott G , _______.
A．the merger will contribute to Microsoft
B．Yahoo and Microsoft are lacking in innovation
C．Google is getting short of management experience

【小題3】Michael Grosser is afraid that _______.
A．the merger will cost Yahoo’s free features
B．the merger will lead to Microsoft’s defeating Yahoo
C．the increased competition will force Google out of the game
D．Internet users will have to buy Microsoft’s expensive software
【小題4】What is Antonio Simmons’ attitude towards Google?
A．Doubtful.B．Disapproval.C．Positive.D．Negative.


【小題1】D
【小題2】B

The students at Sandy’s high school were badly shaken by the news that a classmate had  36 himself. The suicide note read: “It’s hard to  37 when nobody cares if you die.”

Glen, a teacher, realized this was a  38 moment about the importance of making people feel

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2010-2011學(xué)年江西省鷹潭市高三第二次模擬考試英語(yǔ)卷 題型：閱讀理解

I found the imagination of becoming a grandmother somewhat discouraging. I was younger than I thought a grandmother should be when I got the news that I was going to become one myself. I admit, it was not a role that I was emotionally ready to accept. I had been a young mother, and had certainly hoped my daughter would not face that same challenge. I remarried when she was a teenager, and then had two more children. On getting the news that she was expecting, I remember thinking “What do I know about being a grandmother? —I haven’t even finished raising my own kids yet!” I don’t like to be unprepared, so I read a few books about grandparenting. That gave me a little help, but I was still uncertain. I thought about other grandmothers I knew, and got a few ideas I liked and a few more that I didn't. But I couldn't quite figure out what kind of grandmother I wanted to be. Then I thought about my own grandmother, Granny, as she’s known by most people, and I knew I had the answer.

I didn’t realize it until that moment, but my own grandmother was the example for the kind of grandmother I wanted to be. I am fortunate that I got to spend a lot of time with my grandparents when I was a little kid. Here's what I learned from my Granny：

Grandmothers always have a cookie jar. For my entire life, Granny always had a cookie jar full of cookies. When I was a little tiny girl, just at eye level with the counter, Granny would get the cookie jar down for me. When I was a little older I learned how to pull the chair over so I could reach. As I got taller, if I really stretched, I could reach the cookie jar with my finger tips and move it close enough to get it down off the counter to find out what kind of treat was inside. Always the first thing I did when I went to Granny 's house was check the cookie jar and there were always cookies in it. Many years later, I’ll drive my own children to Granny’s house and the first thing Pd do is get us all a cookie.

So grandmothers must have a cookie jar and on my granddaughte’ s first Christmas, my daughter bought me my own cookie jar. She said when they came to see me, her daughter would find the treat the way she did and I did.

1. The writer thought it was a little discouraging to be a grandmother because________.

A. she was not old enough to be one

B. she was not emotionally ready to be one

C. she thought her daughter was too young to be a mother

D. grandmother should be older than she was

2. The underlined phrase “that same challenge ” in the first paragraph refers to” ________”

A. taking care of a grandchild     B. taking care of a baby

C. being a young grandmother       D. being a young mother

3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that________.

A. the writer has many happy memories of her grandmother’s cookie jar

B. the writer always wanted to know what was inside her grandmother’s cookie jar

C. the writer often drove her grandchildren to see her grandmother’s cookie jar

D. women of the writer ‘s age all have a cookie jar for their grandchildren

4. What kind of grandmother did the writer want to be?

A. One who has a jar filled with many kinds of cookies for children and herself.

B. One who grows up with her grandmother's cookie jar with all kinds of cookies.

C. One who is like her own grandmother with a cookie jar to treat her grandchildren.

D. One who always makes different kinds of cookies to treat her grandchildren.

5. Which of the following can be the best title of this text?

A. Grandmother’s Cookie Jar                 B.Grandmother’s Treat for Children

C. Grandmothers and Grandchildren          D. Happy Memories of Cookies
