根據(jù)短文完成下面的題

My Unforgettable Travel

  Besides going by car, there are three other ways to get across the country:planes, trains and buses.Air travel is the most expensive of the three but in many ways the easiest and most comfortable.There are hundreds of flights a day criss-crossing the country, and it is easy to make an order.You will get to your destination(目的地)quickly and find the services(服務)at the airports excellent.There will be connecting bus services to the center of town, car rental agencies and porters(出租公司和搬運工).

  Traveling by train is cheaper than by airplane.In the past, train service was poor but in recent years the government has changed the service with AMTRAK, the nationalized train system.You can travel first or second class.Your ticket is for the journey only, sleeping and dining conditions will be extra.The most inexpensive way to travel is by bus.Continental railways and Greyhound can buy special tickets that allow you unlimited travel for a certain period of time.In this way you can stop along the way to visit the places that interest you most.

  If you do travel long distances, be ready for the time changes.There are four time zones(時區(qū))in the continental USA, starting on the East Coast with Eastern Standard Time(EST), then moving west to Central Standard Time(CST), Mountain Standard Time(MST).If you travel east to west, you gain one hour each time you enter a new time zone.

  Seeing America by Car

  A good way to see the USA is by car.Americans love their cars and in the past fifty years they have developed a vast network of roads and freeways to help them reach their destinations.

  As few visitors have their own cars, renting one is the next best thing.You will need a valid driver’s license(it is best to have an international driver’s license)and either international credit cards(信用卡)(Diners, American Express), or a deposit(存折).

  You should start out with a working knowledge of the road.You travel from state to state and this can be very exciting to a newcomer.For example, in some states it is legal(合法)to turn right at a red light if there is no closing traffic, while in other states you will be fined(罰款)for this action.

  People can enjoy vast(廣袤的)areas of wild beauty.Throughout the country, animal and plant life is now protected by law, Americans are learning to be conservationists(天然資源保護者).

(1)

The 1st paragraph is told about ________.

[  ]

A.

car is more expensive

B.

there are four ways to travel

C.

the service is a little good

D.

ordering tickets is not easy

(2)

Which do you think it is a better way if you are allowed to travel or stop along the way for some time without limit?

[  ]

A.

train

B.

car

C.

bus

D.

ship

(3)

If you go to west from east you ________ zone.

(4)

If you walk at the red light on the road in some states you feel ________, and see some plants and animas ________.

答案:1.B;2.A;
解析:

(1)

此題考查段落的細節(jié)理解。從第一段第一行,作者開門見山:Besides going by car, there are three other ways to get across the country:planes, trains and buses.故選B項。

(2)

此題同樣是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后兩句“Continental railways and Greyhound can buy special tickets that allow you unlimited travel for a certain period of time.In this way you can stop along the way to visit the places that interest you most”分析。可判定第一句是銜接前后兩句的關鍵句,從而可推斷問題中的train 就是文中的Continental railways,所以選A項。

(3)

  答案:enter a new time

  解析:本題是填詞題,從問題中的空格后的zone來推測,enter a new time與文中的第三段的最后一句“…each time you enter a new time zone”最合適。

(4)

  答案:safe/right, protected

  解析:本題是填詞題,考查我們整體的理解、分析和應用能力。根據(jù)倒數(shù)一二段“…in some states it is legal(合法)to turn right at a red light if there is no closing traffic,while in other states you will be fined(罰款)for this action…Throughout the country,animal and plant life is now protected by law…”便可用safe or right 來代替文中的legal。再從問題“see some plants and animas…”的角度來考慮,又可得知protected 作補語,來代替文中的動詞被動式。

閱讀下面的短文,根據(jù)要求完成下列小題。

  Two pieces of foreign news caught people’s attention.In the US, 18-year-old Michael Sessions won the mayoral(市長的)election in his town, to become the youngest moayor in the US.A similar thing happened in Britain.Martin Halstead, a high school graduate at 19, set up his own airline company.

  Chinese teens admire their skills in getting such important posts.But have you ever thought that you could have the same success?

  Burdened with heavy school work, many high school students in China are told to lock themselves in their studies and forget about other things.

  But actually this is not wise.

  Everyone is different and there is no need to follow the life paths of our ancestors(祖先).Sessions had dreamt of being a politician since he was a child.Halstead is crazy about airplanes and took every chance to learn about them.

  So why not think outside the box, as these boys did?Consider your interests when planning your own path through life.Doing this can be more exciting and makes it easier to succeed.Interest is our best teacher.

  But dreaming is not enough.A good education is a stepping-stone to a successful career.It helps broaden your horizons so you understand more about yourself and therefore perform better.That’s the reason Sessions chose while taking charge of his town.

  Success still takes work.Without hard work, a dream is just like a cloud in the air that you never can reach.

閱讀理解。
     閱讀下面的短文和問題,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,在相應題號后的橫線上寫下相關的信息(不多于五個單詞),
完成對該問題的回答.答語要結(jié)構(gòu)正確,書寫工整,字跡清楚.
     The computer makes doing schoolwork easier for me than it was for my mom and dad. For example,
when writing book reports and stories, I use Microsoft Word instead of a pen and paper. That way, after my
teacher edits my work, I can go back and make revisions without having to rewrite the whole thing. And
Microsoft Word has a spell checks! I use it all the time.
     For English class, we're reading The Outsiders, by S.E.Hinter. As a pre-reading assignment, my teacher
asked us to research teenage groups on the Internet. I tried Google, Encarta, and Yahoo first, and finally
found an article on Time.com.
     For a geography assignment on the United States, I used Encarta to learn about the Mississippi River. I
needed to find out how deep the river is, how its widths and depths are different, what states it runs through,
and what kind of fish live in it. I used the information to show how the geography of a country affects its
economy. For example, the river's trade paths, the number offish caught in it, and the tourists it attracts
directly affect Southerners' jobs and incomes.
      I never go to the library to do research. It takes too much time. Since I live in New York City and both
my parents work, getting to the library isn't always easy. For a big assignment or research project, I'd have
to stay at the library to read, or sign out whatever books or magazines I needed. Being able to find the
information in my own living room makes everything a lot simpler. Online dictionaries and encyclopedias also
save time.
     Sometimes. I think the computer spoils my generation because it's so easy at least physically. But
computers are not like television, which does the thinking for you. You still have to use your mind. I prefer
using a computer. Easy, fun, and fast.
