There is so much　52　to take care of when you are just getting to　53　people as people. One of the things we are doing is　54　dates, the years that each of us　55　from this or that. I see where this is going.?

The common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is plagues(疫病) that flesh receives.

The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses(病毒) passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.?

During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(戰(zhàn)壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.?

In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp(奧斯維辛集中營), naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.?

At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.?

If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains—taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.?

No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms(癥狀).

1.The writer offered _______ examples to support his argument.

A. 4      B. 5      C. 6       D. 3

2.Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage?

A. The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time.

B. Colds are not caused by cold.

C. People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.

D. A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already had one.

3.Arctic explorers may catch colds when ________.

A. they are working in the isolated Arctic regions

B. they are writing reports in terribly cold weather

C. they are free from work in the isolated Arctic regions

D. they are coming into touch again with the outside world

4.The passage mainly discusses ________.

A. the fallacy about the common cold

B. the experiments on the common cold  

C. the reason and the way people catch colds

D. the continued spread of common colds

How do successful people think? What drives them? Interviews and investigations show that there are several keys to success that successful people share.

First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to go ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they cannot control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. But in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering (給人以權(quán)力的)things they can do .Perhaps what most separates successful people from others is that they live life “on purpose”---they are doing what they believe they are put here to do .In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important fact that enables them to become fully functioning people. They hold that when they live their life on purpose ,their main concern is to do the job right .They love what they do ---and it shows people want to do business with them because of their devotion to their jobs.

To live their life on purpose, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it. Besides, they never easily give up. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Top achievers always keep in mind that they don’t have forever. Rather than seeing it negative or depressing, they use the knowledge to encourage themselves to move on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.

1.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A．How do people live their life on purpose?     B．How can people be successful?

C．How do people make plans?               D．How do people do business?

2.By living life “on purpose ”successful people can ________

A．do a lot of work without using more money.   B．concentrate on their jobs

C．do business with many people easily.         D．share what they have with every one unselfishly.

3.The pronoun “it” (Line 10.Para.2) refers to _____

A．the main concern of successful people

B．the job that successful people do

C．the devotion with which successful people do their job

D．the business that successful people do with other people.

科目：高中英語 來源：2014屆山東省淄博市高二下學(xué)期期中英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

I visited the nearby car factory today with my uncle, who works there. One thing I noticed was that most of the work is now done by robots. Welding (焊接), painting, testing, and many other jobs are performed by robots now.

The whole dashboard (儀表板) of the car is now put into the car from above, through the windshield, by a robot. It would have taken two men to do this in the past, and it would have hurt their backs quite a bit. It got me thinking: is it a good thing that robots are replacing factory workers? On one hand, robots generally do a more accurate job than people. They aren’t likely to make many mistakes, and if something goes wrong with one car, an alarm goes off. They do exactly the same thing, every time, without fail. A human worker is never able to do exactly the same thing every time. On the other hand, robots also reduce costs for companies. Companies don’t have to pay robots wages or injury compensation (補(bǔ)償) if they’re broken. If something in a robot does go wrong, it won’t have to take time off work for a year, or even forever, as could happen to a real person if he breaks his back or burn himself while welding.

The obvious downside to all of this is that it increases the unemployment rate. The company will have to bring in some very talented individuals who know how to operate the robots. Unlike regular factory workers, these intelligence workers usually demand a higher pay.

1.We can learn from the first paragraph that _______.

A．a(chǎn)ll the workers are replaced by robots now   B．robots do much of the work instead of workers now C．there were no workers in the car factory        D．the author’s uncle made robots in the factory

2.According to the text robots _______.

A．can do work as accurately as workers        B．never break down   C．can do exactly the same thing repeatedly  D．a(chǎn)sk for less money from companies

3.The underlined word "downside" in the last paragraph probably means "_______".

A．weakness         B．favor             C．a(chǎn)ssistance         D．strength

4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.

A．companies refuse to pay for intelligence workers                 B．robots have helped all of the workers C．robots can help solve the problem of unemployment           D．using robots in factories widely will have a long way to go

5.What is the author’s attitude towards using robots in factories?

A．He is doubtful about it.                   B．He thinks it necessary. C．He is strongly against it.   D． The text doesn’t mention it.
