A Letter from Alan
I have learnt of a plan to build three hundred houses on the land called Parson's Place by the football ground .Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town.For me,
Parson's Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax-the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is popular with fishermen and bird-watchers'
It's very quiet because there are few houses or roads nearby.I think that losing this area will be terrible because we have no other similar facilities in the neighbourhood.
I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems.How will the people from the new houses travel to work?The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town.
Therefore,these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere.
The roads will always be full of traffic,there will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to see our lovely old buildings will leave .Shops and hotels will lose business.If the town really needs more homes,the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place.
No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses.But,in my opinion, the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan.As well as this,we will lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleasant.
I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to protest about this plan and I hope that your readers will join me there.We must make them stop this plan before it is too late.

In Alan's opinion,why is Parson's Place particularly important?
A: Because there's a football ground nearby.
B: Because lots of people live near it.
C: Because it is a place near the town where people can enjoy nature.
D: Because local people can get there easily by car from the town.

第2题:

There are different ways in which people try to deal with the problem of energy. One way is the greater production of common energy sources, such as coal, oil and gas. The trouble with these sources, however, is that they are not renewable.

Another way is energy conservation ( 节能 ), which means using energy more efficiently ( 有效地 ). In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy. They place materials between the inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in. The house is heated by the lights, the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it.

Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form. of these is geothermal energy. In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometer down. At six kilometers, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees. To get the heat, water is pumped ( 压;抽 ) down into the rocks and back up to the surface. Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.

1、How many ways of dealing with the energy problem are discussed in the text? ( )

A、Two.

B、Three.

C、Four.

D、Five.

2、From the text we learn that coal( ).

A、is quite easy to produce

B、is not used most efficiently

C、is the most common source of energy

D、could be renewed only by new technology

3、The writer tells about the "special houses" because they( ).

A、show the excellent skills of the builders

B、serve as an example of energy conservation

C、are heated by different sources of energy

D、are warmer than other types of houses

4、The underlined words "geothermal energy" in the third paragraph mean ( ).

A、renewable source

B、 underground source

C、 heat inside the earth

D、 temperature of the earth

5、At a place where the surface temperature is 15°C, how deep do you have to dig so as to get a temperature of 75 °C ? ( )

A、One km.

B、 Two km.

C、 Three km.

D、 Four km

第3题:

Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.

Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses in this case our eyes tell us.

Many psychologists (心理学家) today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.

(1)Which of the following is TRUE?

A、We have chances to receive three different answers from three people.

B、It is likely that we will receive three different answers from three people.

C、It is proved that we will receive three different answers from three people.

D、It is impossible that we will receive three different answers from three people.

(2)Seeing and perceiving are ________.

A、the same action

B、two separate actions

C、two actions carried on entirely by the eyes

D、several actions that take place at different times

(3)Perceiving is an action that takes place ________.

A、in our eyes

B、only when we are thinking hard

C、only under the direction of a psychologist

D、in every person's mind

(4)Psychologists study perception by _______.

A、setting up many experiments

B、asking each other what they see

C、looking out of windows

D、studying people's eyes

(5)The best title for this selection is _______.

A、How We See

B、Learning about Our Minds through Science

C、Color and People

D、How to Become a Psychologist

第4题:

Building a house costs quite a lot of money. Suppose you plan to build a house. Your first step will be to find a right piece of land. Your choice will depend on many different things. You will probably try to find a sunny place, with pleasant surroundings near shops and bus stops, not too far from your friends and the place where you work.
Next you will find a good builder, and together with the builder you will work out a plan. The builder will draw the plan. It will show the number of rooms, their position and size, and other parts, which must be noticed, such as windows, doors, and electric outlets. The builder will work out how much money is needed to build your house. He will work out the cost of the wood, bricks, the glass, and everything else that must be used in building the house. Later on, when he starts to build, this estimate must be corrected and revised. His estimate is based on existing prices, but prices of such things may change, and many other things may happen between the time when he makes the estimate and the time when he builds the house.
When the builder gives his estimate, you may wish to change your plan. (You may also wish to change your builder, if his estimate is too high! ) You may find that the house you wanted at first costs too much, or that you can spend a little more and add something to your plan. The builder's estimate depends on the plan, but the final plan depends on the builder's estimate.
The phrase "draw a plan" in this passage means _______

A.making a picture of a building or a room
B.making a plan
C.working out a plan
D.pulling a picture out of a room

答案:A
解析:
解答该小题的重点是要准确理解“draw a plan”这个短语中的关键词plan。plan在本短文中反复出现了八次,第一次出现以动词形式出现,其他七次都是名词。作名词用时其常见用法有二:计划,方案;平面图,纸张。plan在与draw连用时,就表明:画一张建筑物的平面图。B项和C项都是把plan理解为“计划”或“方案”了,而D项则理解成“把一张图画从屋里找出来”,这是无稽之谈。由此答案非A莫属。

第二篇

Bullying at school can have serious and harmful negative effects.Because it causes such a problem for many schools,it is important that schools take the appropriate action to minimize its harmful effects.
One of the most influential steps that a school can take against bullying is to research and develop a firm understanding of the specific types of bullying the students at the school are facing. Administrators should conduct monthly surveys that ask students about their experiences with bullying, such as whether they were bullied in the past month,whether they witnessed bullying and issues that they think the school administrators should have known about. Administrators should also survey the school's teachers to find out what they know about bullying.
Another step that a school administration can take to prevent bullying is to train its teachers, administrators and students' parents about bullying. Hold seminars in your school district to teach parents about ways to communicate with their children if they are bullied at school.Conduct workshops with professional speakers or psychology experts about recognizing the signs of bullying in the classroom for teachers and administrators in your school district.Create newsletters for parents about detail strategies your school is taking to combat bullying or discuss new research on bullying in schools.
Last but not least school administrators,teachers and school board members should work together to create a disciplinary plan to use when situations of bullying arise.Make teachers work together in groups to discuss the strategies that they use for dealing with bullying in their individual classrooms.Developing a plan when bullying arises is important in helping students realize that they will face consequences if they choose to bully their peers.Having a disciplinary system in place can help prevent bullying before it even begins.

Why is the disciplinary plan important when bullying arises?
A:Because students will face consequences if they bully others.
B:Because school rules aren't complete without it.
C:Because school bullying can hardly be prevented.
D:Because students will follow the plan.

本题属细节考查题。考查的是在盖房的施工中,最初的预算必须更正与修改的原因。短文第二段的倒数一、二句就有相对应的部分;随后,当他开始施工时,此预算必须更改与修正。他的预算的根据是当时的价格,而建筑材料与其他东西的价格在制定预算和开始施工这一阶段很可能会有变化。A项说的是“预算经常被施工者算错”,在短文中找不到依据;B项的“未来的房主认为预算太高他支付不起”在短文中也没有体现,D项的“在开始时预算往往是错的”与A项的错误一致.
