【題目】Frances Stevens Reese Wooldland Trail Guide

The Woodland Trail was opened to the public on October 21, 1997. Boscobel’s Board of Directors adopted a formal decision of naming the Woodland Trail in honor of former Boscobel board member, Fances Stevens Reese (1917-2003), one year after his death.

The trail(小徑) is approximately 10 miles in length, leading down to Constitution Forest. When the West Point Glass Factory was operating during the Civil War, trees for miles around were cleared to provide firewood. Walking out of the forest, you will find a large mass of native hard rock about three billion years old.

Throughout this country path, you will find picture boards identifying birds and plants local to this region. You will also find signs with historic and environmental information written by area specialists.

When you take a walk through this “undiscovered” forest land, please be a considerate guest.

Before walking the trail, please purchase a pass in the Carriage House. Plan ahead, so you will be back by closing time.

Follow the trail markers and remain on the trail. Besides protecting the fragile forest ecosystem, you will reduce the risk of poison plants and snakes.

Leave rocks, plants, animals and art works where you see them so that the person behind you can have the same experience.

Carry out whatever you carry in because there are no rubbish containers on the trail. If you happen to see a piece of litter, be a good guest and pick it up.

【1】When was the trail named to honor Frances Stevens Reese?

A. In 1997.B. In 1917

C. In 2003D. In 2004

【2】What can you see along the trail?

【題目】Rumors (搖言) are not always nasty, but they can be especially annoying when the rumormonger spreads something against you. Unfortunately, you can’t just stop nasty rumors just by telling one person it isn’t true. 【1】 However, there are better ways to handle rumors. Simply apply the tips below and see which ones suit you best:

Clear the air

Set things straight.【2】 That is definitely more effective than just telling one person about it.

Confront the source

Go after the rumormonger in the first place. Most gossip starters don’t really expect people to come after them, so you’ll have the element of surprise. However, don’t attack that person physically or otherwise. Simply approach that person and tell him that he has it all wrong. It’s best to do this when you’re in a room full of people.【3】.

Ignore it

【4】 Rumors come and go. Most of the time, it dies down and a new issue takes its place. If the rumor isn’t all that bad and doesn’t really affect you in any way, perhaps it’s better to let this one slide.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

【題目】Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to find rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to call a friend and ask for a ride, and half the time they’ll say, “Sorry, my car is full.” But with Twitter, you just tweet (貼子,留言) and look for other people heading the same way.

It may sound risky, but many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends of friends when asking on Twitter. For me, I only rideshare with people I know, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.

The sharing economy got big during the recession（經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退）. It allows people to access more goods and services using technology, while also allowing them to share cost. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom.

According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license. Today it’s six in ten. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16thbirthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license. All I wanted was an iPhone. Juliet Schor (Sociology professor at Boston College) knows people my age love being connected and for young people driving means they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passenger side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.

To me, another plus is ridesharing represents something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.

【1】The writer usually rideshares with _____.

A.anyone heading the same wayB.people he knows

C.friends of friendsD.strangers of his age

【2】Fewer young people choose to ride by themselves because _____.

A.driving means offering free rides to others.

B.getting a driving license becomes more difficult.

C.driving one’s own cars causes a negative impression.

D.driving makes them disconnected from technology.

【3】We can conclude from the passage that _____.

A.the writer rideshares just to save money

B.people under 18 are not allowed to drive

C.silver Super Beetle is the writer’s favorite

D.the older generation had to fight for freedom

【4】Which is the best title for the passage?

A.Teens use Twitter to thumb rides.

B.Tips on reducing risks in ridesharing.

C.Car is no longer a gateway to freedom.

D.New generation knows how to save money.

Benjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. But he did not know about brushes before 【1】 visitor told him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat 【2】 (make) a brush.

The cat’s lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. 【5】 he went home, he sent Benjamin a box for paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings（版畫(huà)）by an artist. 【6】 were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had even seen.

In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a landscape painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see him work.

But he later said, “Those two books were my companions by day, and 【10】 my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings.
