Very often you find it impossible to escape from some idle or curious chatter-box, or from somebody who wants something for nothing. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are taking your bath. Are you strong minded enough to ignore it, to say to yourself,“Ah, well, it will all be the same in a hundred years’ time” You are not. You think there may be some important news or messages for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Have you never rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number? But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isn’t it important to have a telephone in case of emergency—illness, an accident, or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity. I think perhaps I had better try to justify myself by trying to prove that what I like is good. I admit that in different circumstances—if I were a tycoon(business VIP),for instance, or bed ridden I might find a telephone essential. But then if I were a taxi-driver I should find a car essential. Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular talent; one is mechanical invention, the other is literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them. For I have just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, one never knows, it may be something important. 1.The passage is mainly discussing _______. A. that we should be strong enough to ignore a phone call B. that important message will reach you sooner or later C. whether it’s necessary to answer all phone calls D. whether it is necessary to have a telephone 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 2 提示:通读全文，尤其是文章的第一段和最后一段可以得出此结论。 答案:D 2.Judging from the passage, who is strong-minded enough to ignore a phone call?

Little do these students realize that, in doing so, they are throwing good money away. It may sound unbelievable but textbooks, in some cases, actually cost as much as, if not more than, college fees. Many people think that college bookstores are the most convenient source for textbooks. Titles are usually kept and students may purchase new textbooks or choose to buy second-hand books and save money. But the money saved by purchasing second-hand textbooks from college bookstores is small compared to the amount they could save by shopping online. More and more online booksellers have begun selling textbooks at heavily discounted prices. Online second-hand bookstores are another source for college books as they keep a large number of textbooks, which means sizable savings for students. Students should avoid purchasing their textbooks at the first store that they surf online since there are so many ‘unreal’ booksellers on the Net. Price isn't the only factor to consider when making an online purchase. Students should also consider shopping costs and delivery time when making their decision. Online auctions(拍卖) are another option for students seeking a bargain. This option, however, has its pros and cons. A plus is that students can get incredibly cheap books. One problem is 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 that while online bookstores have a system in place that ensure you receive your order within a reasonable amount of time, with an auction purchase, however, you must depend on the auction seller's timetable. One way that students can really save is by getting books for free. Project Gutenberg is one resource that English majors will find invaluable. Here students can legally download a huge collection of classic novels. In the past students needing help with their studies would often have to spend a lot of money buying expensive study guides. Today that is no longer the case. Cash-strapped students can now visit the website SparkNotes for free downloadable study guides as well as classics. 31. Which of the following is the best title of this passage? A. Learning to Save on Textbooks B. Why Buy Textbooks C.Online Shopping D. Tips for Buying Secondhand Textbooks 【答案】A 【解析】标题归纳题。本文主要讲在线购书比去学校书店买更节省，最后一段还介绍了一种能免费获得教 科书的节省的方法。所以本文主要讲在教科书方面怎样省钱。故选 A. 32. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a source to obtain textbooks ? A. College bookstores. B. Online used bookstores. C.Online auctions. D. Second-hand bookstore centres. 【答案】D 【解析】细节理解题。第一段讲到 A.College bookstores。第三段“Online second-hand bookstores are another source for college books …...”提到了 B（在线二手书）。第四段讲 C.在线拍卖。但始终没 提到 D。 33. The underlined expression “pros and cons” (paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to __________. A. professionals and conservatives B. joy and sadness C.advantages and disadvantages D. processes and conditions 【答案】C 【解析】词义猜测题。“pros and cons” 指“正反两方面”，即“优点和缺点”。与 C 意思相同。 34. According to the passage, Project Gutenberg is probably __________. A. a government project aimed at helping English majors B. a project to help poor students get free learning materials C. a website for English majors to get the guides from language experts 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 D.a website for students to get free sources for English learning 【答案】D 【解析】推理判断题。文章最后一段“Project Gutenberg is one resource that English majors will find invaluable. Here students can legally download a huge collection of classic novels.”说明 “Project Gutenberg”是英语专业学生认为非常贵重的资源，学生可以在这儿合法地下载大量经典小说收 藏。因此它是一个学生可以为英语学习获取免费资源的网站。故选 D。 35. From the passage, we can learn that__________. A. the cost of textbooks in college is low compared to the amount spent on tuition B. online auctions are perfect for students seeking text books C. students should visit many websites before buying their books D.students should consider shopping costs and delivery time above all else when making their buying decision 【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。文章第一段“It may sound unbelievable but textbooks, in some cases, actually cost as much as, if not more than, college fees.”说明听起来可能难以置信，但在某些情况下，教 科书的费用即使不比大学学费多，也是持平的。故 A 不对。文章第四段“Online auctions(拍卖) are another option for students seeking a bargain. This option, however, has its pros and cons.”说明在线 拍卖也是有利有弊的，而不是完美的。故 B 错误。第三段“Price isn't the only factor to consider when making an online purchase. Students should also consider shopping costs and delivery time when making their decision.”说价格不是网购唯一考虑的因素，学生在做决定之前也要考虑购物成本和交货 时间。能看出学生在作出购买决定之前应该首要考虑购物成本和交货时间，但不是首要考虑的。故 D 错误。 第三段“Students should avoid purchasing their textbooks at the first store that they surf online since there are so many ‘unreal’ booksellers on the Net. ”说明学生应该避免在他们搜索到的第 一个店购买教科书，因为网上有太多不真实的书商。所以在买书之前应该看许多网站，故 C 正确。 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。 【四川省绵阳市 2014 高考英语一模试题】 A century ago in the United States, when an individual brought suit against a company, public opinion tended to protect that company. But perhaps this phenomenon was most striking in the case 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 8 of the railroads. Nearly half of all negligence cases decided through 1896 involved railroads. And the railroads usually won. Most of the cases were decided in sate courts, when the railroads had the climate of the times on their sides. Government supported the railroad industry; the progress railroads represented was not to be slowed down by requiring them often to pay damages to those unlucky enough to be hurt working for them. Court decisions always went against railroad workers. A Mr. Farwell, an engineer, lost his right hand when a switchman's negligence ran his engine off the track. The court reasoned that since Farwell had taken the job of an engineer voluntarily at good pay, he had accepted the risk. Therefore the accident, though avoidable had the switchmen acted carefully, was a "pure accident". In effect a railroad could never be held responsible for injury to one employee caused by the mistake of another. In one case where a Pennsylvania Railroad worker had started a fire at a warehouse and the fire had spread several blocks, causing widespread damage, a jury found the company responsible for all the damage. But the court overturned the jury's decision because it argued that the railroad's negligence was the immediate cause of damage only to the nearest buildings. Beyond them the connection was too remote to consider. As the century wore on, public sentiment began to turn against the railroads-against their economic and political power and high fares as well as against their callousness toward individuals. 72. Which of the following is NOT true in Farwell's case? A. Farwell was injured because he negligently ran his engine off the track. B. Farwell would not have been injured if the switchman had been more careful. C. The court argued that the victim had accepted the risk since he had willingly taken his job. D. The court decided that the railroad should not be held responsible. 73. What must have happened after the fire case was settled in court? A. The railroad compensated for the damage to the immediate buildings. B. The railroad compensated for all the damage by the fire. C. The railroad paid nothing for the damaged building. D. The railroad worker paid for the property damage himself. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 9 74. The following aroused public resentment EXCEPT _____. A. political power B. high fares C. economic loss D. indifference 75. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Railroad oppressing individuals in the US. B. History of the US railroads. C. Railroad workers' working rights. D. Law cases concerning the railroads. 【参考答案】72—75、AACD
