阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。‎ A Paula and Rory Ward have five kids，three dogs，and a rabbit.When the house is very noisy，Megan，one of the children，is quietly inventing.A year ago，the 10yearolds had to design an antismoking poster for a school project.Rather than a poster，she came up with the idea of creating something that shows the average amount of tar(尼古丁) a smoker collects from just four packs of cigarettes. 新 课 标 第 网 ‎“I like people to play with things more than read and write，”she says.So she researched her idea on the Internet，found a company in China that could make it，saved up her pocket money and got her idea made.‎ Paula says her daughter“thinks differently”：Ideas jump into her mind.After she got sunburnt on holiday，Megan invented a small plastic bracelet (手镯) that changes color in the sun，telling you when to put on sunscreen (防晒霜)．Several sunscreen companies have expressed an interest in the idea.She also came up with an idea to make a ball filled with water to stop the dog from feeling thirsty.“But we didn’t do anything with it，”says Paula.‎ Then she pulls out a picture of a special fishing rod (钓鱼竿) she has designed.“There is a camera on the hook (钩)，”she explains，“and the screen is on the handle，and it shows you if you’ve caught a fish or not.”‎ Megan doesn’t want to go to university.She keeps her pinkandcream bedroom ‎ tidy.Paula is amazed and a bit confused by her daughter.“Everything has to be in a certain order，”Paula says.“Her brothers and sisters go_with_the_flow，but with Megan，it’s ‘What time will that be happening？’or‘Where am I being picked up from today？’”‎ ‎36．From Paragraph 2，we can infer that Megan ________.‎ A．is not willing to go to school B．likes to play with her brothers sand sisters C．is good at reading and writing D．prefers making something by herself ‎37．What did Megan invent after she got sunburnt on vacation?‎ A．The antismoking poster.‎ B．The bracelet telling when to put on sunscreen.‎ C．The fishing rod telling whether you’ve caught a fish.‎ D．The ball providing water for thirsty dogs.‎ ‎38．The underlined phrase“go with the flow”probably means “________”．‎ A．set an example to others B．follow the fashion closely C．do what most people usually do D．do something differently from others ‎39．According to the passage，which of the following about Megan is TRUE?‎ A．Her parents always help her invent something special.‎ B．She is quite the same as her other four brothers and sisters.‎ C．Her mother Paula doesn’t want her to go to university.‎ D．She would like to keep everything in order.‎ B More than half of Americans do not take all their vacation days，even though they think they need one more holiday.And nearly a third of workers who take a break check their emails from the boss every other day and some even keep in touch hourly.‎ ‎“We’re workaholics(工作狂)’，”said Samuel Nahmias.“From a general perspective，this has a lot to do with the economic situation in the US.More and more people are unemployed.”‎ With jobless numbers reaching 9.6 percent，people who have jobs seem to be ‎ unwilling to take time off.“It_is_not_a_great_picture and that affects vacations.People are not going on vacation as much and those who are going on vacation are being more selective about where they are going.”Nahmias explained.‎ Unlike European countries where four or more weeks of holiday each year is normal,27 percent of people questioned in the poll said they had 6 to 10 days of annual leave and 20 percent had less than 3 days.With more people on unemployment lists in America，those still with jobs are facing more responsibility at work，which is reflected in their lack of time off.‎ The majority of workers who did not take time off mentioned too many responsibilities or stress at work，while some people said they simply did not have time to plan a holiday.“People are more conscious of what they are doing and when they are going on vacation because they don’t want to look bad in this situation，”Nahmias explained.‎ Technology is also playing a part with smartphones enabling workers to keep in contact in ways that were not possible before.It has to do with technology and the level of concern about what is going on in the office.‎ ‎40．Americans don’t take all their vacation days because ________.‎ A．they are afraid that they may lose their jobs B．they devote themselves to the whole work C．they are asked to keep in touch with their bosses D．they aren’t in need of holidays at all ‎41．What does Nahmias mean by saying the underlined words in Paragraph 3?‎ A．Travelling makes people unwelcome.‎ B．People are unwilling to go on short vacations.‎ C．People are more selective about places of interest.‎ D．The economic situation remains at a low point. 新课标第一网 ‎42.We can infer from Paragraph 4 that ________.‎ A．More people are losing their jobs in Europe B．European economic situation is better than that in America C．Americans are more hardworking than Europeans D．Unemployment rate is higer in America than that in Europe ‎43．What’s the main idea of the text?‎ A．Americans are all workaholic.‎ B．Unemployment is going from bad to worse.‎ C．Many Americans don’t choose to take vacations.‎ D．US economic situation becomes worse and worse.‎ C Twothirds of women prefer working for male bosses because they are better managers and less likely to lose their temper，a study has suggested.‎ Many female employees also like having a man in charge because they are “more authoritative(有权威的)” and “more straightforward” than their_female_counterparts.‎ Women consider men “tougher”，“better at delegation (委派)” and also more likely to regularly dish out praise.‎ And men were also rated as being better decisionmakers and having more grasp of the business overall than women do.‎ It also shows that four out of ten women who have female bosses believe they could do a better job than their immediate superior(上司)．‎ The study of 2,000 women in fulltime or parttime employment asked whether they would prefer to have a man or woman as their immediate line manager.‎ About 63 per cent expressed a male preference，while only 37 per cent choose a woman.‎ The results also revealed one in six women who currently work under a woman is experiencing “underlying tension” between themselves and their boss.‎ There are a number of reasons for the male preference including a feeling that female managers felt threatened by other women at work.A failure to leave personal problems at home was also cited (引用；举例)．Other issues included a lack of flexibility (机动性) over leaving early or starting late.‎ But despite the worries，female bosses did score highly on the more personal side of the manageremployee relationship.They were thought of as being approachable，more trustworthy and more compassionate(有同情心的) in a member of staff’s time ‎ of need.‎ ‎44．What does the underlined part “their female counterparts” in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A．Female companions. B．Man managers.‎ C．Leading members. D．Women managers.‎ ‎45．Compared to female employers，male bosses ________.‎ A．generally have a poor sense of business B．are not good at managing their company C．seldom praise their staff members openly D．are more likely to keep their temper under control ‎46．In which aspect did female bosses score more points?‎ A．They were more considerate towards their employees.‎ B．They didn’t feel a tension from other women at work.‎ C．They were more flexible in working hours.‎ D．They didn’t allow personal problems to affect their mood.‎ ‎47．What is the best title of the text?‎ A．Women prefer to work for male bosses B．The finding of a new study C．Male or female boss?‎ D．Who is better at managing a company D American and British use different greetings. In the USA the commonest greeting is “Hi”. In Britain it is “Hello！” or “How are you？”. “Hi！” is creeping(不知不觉的)into British, too. When they are introduced to someone, the Americans say, “Glad to know you.” The British say, “How do you do？” or “Pleased to meet you.” When Americans say “Goodbye”， they nearly always add, “Have a good day，” or “Have a good trip，” etc. to friends and strangers alike. Britons are already beginning to use “Have a good day”．‎ The British usually use “got”in the sense of “have”. The Americans hardly ever do.‎ Am.E: Do you have a car, room，etc.？Yes, I do.‎ Br.E: Have you got a car, room, etc.? Yes, I have.‎ Finally, there are a number of differences between American and British English in the spelling of words, e．g.check(US)/cheque(UK); center(US)/centre(UK). Many American words ending in “or”， e．g. honor, vigor, labor are spelt in British English with an “our”， e．g. honour, vigour, labour. Many verbs in American English with “ize”or “izing” forms, e．g. organize, realizing are spelt in Br.E “ise”or “ising”，e.g.organise，realising.In American English, “practice”is used both for the verb and noun.In Br.E, the verb is spelt “practise”， and the noun “practice”. In the main, American English avoids the doubling up of consonants(辅音字母)in nouns and verbs while British English does not.In American English, for example, one writes “travel, traveled, traveling, traveler，” while in British English, one writes “travel, travelled, travelling, traveller”．‎ It was once predicted that British and American English would became separate languages finally. But the opposite has happened. The links(连接)between the two countries are so strong that linguistically(语言上的), and probably culturally(文化上的)too, they are closer together than ever.‎ ‎48．The Americans hardly say________‎ A．Goodbye.Have a good day!

D． Hi! ‎ ‎49．A British writes________.‎ A．cheque；center B． labour；traveller C．traveled；practice D．honor；organise ‎50．What does the fifth paragraph talk about?‎ A．There are lots of differences in spelling between Am.E.and Br.E.‎ B．Why do the Americans and the British use different spellings?‎ C．There are few differences in spelling between Am.E.and Br.E.‎ D. The different usages of words in Am.E and Br.E E A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon.

The reason is that it takes less time to understand the whole story(省时). Besides, the film is usually more interesting(有趣),and it’s easier to follow/understand(易懂).‎ Some others have just the opposite opinion.They think that they can get more detailed information from the original(细节更多). Meanwhile, the language in the book is possibly more lively and beautiful(语言优美).‎ Personally, I agree with the second view. Actually I have more reasons for it. I think I can stay at home,reading quietly in a station of my own, and what’s more, I am able to better understand the author’s ideas. In a word, to read the original work is better than to see the film based on it. ‎
