题目内容

Rent(出租)a room
Spare room? Not only will a lodger (房客) earn you some money, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax (税) on the first ￡4,500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.
Make money during special events
Don’t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis (基础). If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. Grashpadder can advertise your space.
Use your roof (屋顶)
You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment (around￡14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier (供应商), which could prevent you from changing the roof. 
小题1:If you earn ￡5,000 from renting a room in one year, the tax you need to pay will be based on ________.
A．￡300B．￡500C．￡4,500D．￡5,000
小题2:If you want to use energy free, you have to ________.
A．sign an agreement with the government
B．pay around ￡14,000 for the equipment
C．sell the roof to some energy companies
D．keep the roof unchanged for within 25 years
小题3:Who would most like to read the passage?
A．Lodgers.B．Advertisers.
C．House owners.D．Online companies.

小题1:B
小题2:D
小题3:C

试题分析：本文主要是教给有空闲放在的人如何利用自己的空闲放在赚钱的一些技巧的事。
小题1:跟据文章“You won’t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year”可知出租房子所得金额4500英镑以下是不用交税的，所以5000英镑应交税金额为5000-4500=500英镑。所以本题选B。
小题2:根据you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier (供应商), which could prevent you from changing the roof. 可知，如果你想免费用能源，你必须25年内不能变屋顶。”所以本题选D。
小题3:通过阅读本文主要是关于教给有空闲放在的人如何利用自己的空闲放在赚钱的一些技巧，所以本文最适合房子的主人阅读。所以本题选D。
点评：本题的难度较大，需要认真反复阅读，从整体上先了解文章大意，然后根据问题加以判断选择。对于第1小题，需要加以计算，而第3小题需要推断，这都增加了难度。

Have you ever heard someone use the phrase” once in a blue moon”? People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate” once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a blue moon.”While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it.
The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression. In fact, the phrase” blue moon” has to do with the shape of the moon, not the color.
As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change shape. We associate certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail when we cannot see the moon at all; it is called a new moon.
When we can see the whole moon is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a blue moon”.
Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon is a very rare (稀有的)event. This fact has led people to use the expression” once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.
小题1:Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase” once in a blue moon”.
A．Simon often tells jokes. Simon tells jokes once in a blue moon.
B．Tom rarely remembers to do exercise. Tom does exercise once in a blue moon.
C．Mary likes to go shopping every weekend. Mary goes shopping once in a blue moon.
D．Cindy hates to stay up, but she stays up every day. Cindy stays up once in a blue moon.
小题2:When does a blue moon happen in nature?
A．When the moon has a blue moon.
B．When we cannot see the moon at all.
C．When there are two full moons in one month.
D．When we can only see a small part of the color.
小题3:How often will a blue moon happen over the next twenty years?
A．Once a year.B．Less than once a year.
C．More than once a year.D．At least twice a year.
小题4:What does the underlined part “This fact” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．A blue moon is a very rare event.
B．The moon appears to change shape.
C．The moon itself is never really bluee.
D．A blue moon has to do with the shape of the moon.
Do you know that a fast reader can get the ideas better than a slow reader can? Of course, you save time by reading fast, but this is not the main reason for fast reading. The main reason is that you understand better what you are reading when you read fast.
As your eyes move along the line of point, they make fixations (固定) or pauses (暂停). It is important that you see several words at a fixation. It is also important that your eyes leave a group. The numbers of letters or words that you see at a fixation are called your eye span (视跨). Pay more attention to improving your rate of reading. With practice you can learn to read faster than you usually read.
The way in which you read always depends on (取决于) what you are reading and for what purpose. You should know the different ways of reading so that you can apply whatever method is necessary. Here are four ways of reading:
(1) Skimming is an important kind of reading. This method can be used when you wish to review something that you have forgotten. You can skim to get the main points.
(2) Rapid (快速) first reading and then rereading certain parts carefully is important. You may use this type of reading to study a science lesson or a history lesson.
(3) You need to do careful reading and rereading sometimes. This type of reading is necessary for making an intensive (细致的) study of your school subjects, solving math problems or reading directions.
(4) Rapid reading is used when reading stories for enjoyment. You may also do rapid reading when reviewing materials that you already know well.
小题1:The main reason for reading fast is that you can ________.
A．get the ideasB．save timeC．understand betterD．learn well
小题2:The way of reading always depends on ________.
A．the method that you likeB．your reading material
C．your reading purposeD．both B and C
小题3:The word “skimming” means “________”.
A．reading the main pointsB．reading carefully
C．reading very fastD．reading some parts of the material
小题4:Careful reading is an important kind of reading ________.
A．when you review a lesson that you already know well
B．when you read the directions before using a camera which is expensive
C．when you read a story of enjoyment
D．when you wish to find a lost place that you have read
My friends and I had just finished lunch at a hotel when it started to rain heavily. When it became lighter, I decided to get my   1  which was parked at my office three streets away.
My friends   2  that I shouldn’t go, mainly because I was seven months pregnant (怀孕的) then. I promised that I’d be very   3 . One of them wanted to come with me but I insisted that she stayed with another friend who needed help   4  her baby.
I walked out of the hotel and started making my way to the car. At the crossing, a van stopped and a man came out with an umbrella. Before I knew what was happening, he walked right   5  me and told me he’d escort (护送) me. Although I refused, he insisted that he would.

So how did I pay it forward? I was at home when I noticed two Indian workers   8  in the heavy rain. They were probably on their way to the working place near my home. I went out and passed them my   9 , telling them they should take and keep it. They were surprised by my action. They were very grateful to me, probably   10  why a stranger was offering such kindness. I was so relaxed and happy that day.

In life, people come across many experiences, which they remember all their lives. I had a similar experience, too.
It was the day of my last paper of the final exam. My uncle had invited me to spend my vacation with him. I was especially excited about the invitation that my uncle had given me to stay with him for a few days in Cambridge.
On that day we got into our classroom. The teacher quickly handed out the paper. The exam would last two hours and some of the expected questions came. I finished it almost forty-five minutes earlier. But since it was a rule not to collect the paper before the allotted（规定的）time. I had to sit till the teacher collected the paper. I checked my paper twice and corrected some of the mistakes in it. I started thinking about the place my friends and I had planned to go to after the exam. The time seemed to be endless. So I thought of drawing something on the paper and turned it overleaf. I was shocked to see that the page which I had supposed to be blank had four more questions on it which carried 20 marks and would take at least half an hour to complete. There were only 10 minutes left. I was so nervous that I could hardly write anything. They were the sub-questions（小题）of the last question. Suddenly our physics teacher came in and told all of us that in the last question, out of 6 sub-questions only 2 had to be solved. I felt very relieved.
From then on, I realized that my anxiousness and excitement could have cost me to lose 20 marks and decided never to make such a mistake again.
