【题目】任务型阅读Tips on buying outdoor solar lights(太阳能灯)
As solar lighting is becoming useful for homes, many different such outdoor lights can now be found in supermarkets.Here are some helpful tips for customers.
Does your area receive enough direct lighting?
So you shouldn't even give it a thought if you live in an area that doesn't get much sunlight.These lights need direct sunlight, or they just won't work very well.
The expensive one usually means good quality Choosing the cheapest ones will result in many problems. For once, it's best to buy more expensive lights of high quality. At least you should know the difference between a $10 light and a $45 light.
Buy lights that require less installation(安装)
Most solar lights are simply driven into the ground.Therefore.you shouldn't deal with the difficulty in installing a system that involves anything more than that. You don't need to buy lights that require half an hour each to plant into the ground because that's just a waste of time.
Make sure the lights can store enough energy.
Different solar lights can store different amounts of energy Therefore, you should choose lights that are able to store enough energy to last for a few hours or more,at least those that will last from nightfall throughout most of the night and part of the morning.
A.They should take a few minutes each to get into the ground
B. Without sunlight, solar lighting is useless.
C.It means some will stay lit longer than the others
D.Buy many solar lights instead of just one or two.
E.Choose something a bit more expensive for once.
F.That doesn't mean you have to spend all your money.
G.Solar lights are becoming more and more popular.

【答案】B;E;F;A;C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了人们在购买户外太阳能灯时需要注意的几个问题。
(1)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据本文主题句“Does your area receive enough direct lighting?”以及下文”So you shouldn't even give it a thought if you live in an area that doesn't get much sunlight.These lights need direct sunlight,‘可知。这里是说你所住的地方要有足够的直射阳光,否则这些太阳能灯就无法正常发挥作用。故选B。
(2)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段主要是讲价格高一些的太阳能灯质量会更好,所以人们在购买的时候最好一次性地选购那些价格较高的太阳能灯,故用E项内容作小标题最恰当了。
(3)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上文“,it's best to buy more expensive lights of high quality. ”以及下文“At least you should know the difference between a $10 light and a $45 light.”可知,作者并不是说要人们把钱都花在那些价格昂贵的灯上,但起码应该明白十美元的灯和四十五美元的灯之间的差异。故选F项。
(4)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据本段标题“Buy lights that require less installation”以及下文“You don't need to buy lights that require half an hour each to plant into the ground”可知,作者在此建议人们购买那些易于安装的太阳能灯。故选A项。
(5)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上文“Different solar lights can store different amounts of energy”可知,不同的太阳能灯点亮的时间长短也不相同,故C项说法符合些语境。

【题目】One day I walked down to get to my car, thinking about what I had to accomplish and scolding myself for being late for work, but surprisingly the car was nowhere to be found.

This was at 8 a.m. in the morning. I made trips to all the towing places and police stations, all the time thinking that it was towed (拖走)by cops (巡警).By around 10 a.m., the cops decided that it was actually stolen. After filing a report with them, I finally got to work thinking how my day was completely messed up.

Later in the day I went to pick up a rental car at Enterprise only to realize that my license was missing, too, along with my car. I told the enterprise guy the whole story and he offered to take me to the closest DMV and get a duplicate (副本) license. 1 was totally shocked. I did not know why this complete stranger would want to take some time off his day to help me. He actually took me to DMV, got a duplicate and then rented me a car. I was upset the whole day because of the events happening to me but somehow this simple act of kindness from a complete stranger made it all worth it. It cheered me up and made me forget all the troubles of the day. I was so moved by this kind act that the next day I made sure someone else got a similar surprise. I took some smiley shaped chocolates and left them on some of my colleagues’ desks.

There is still a lot of goodness out there in the world. We just need to take the time to notice it. I hope that this story would inspire many others like me to do more acts of kindness.

【题目】There are endless motivations for human behaviour, from the basic drives for food to more complicated ones, such as sympathy, envy and anger. But none of these explain behaviours that we call compulsions (强迫症). They come from a need that is desperate and tortured (折磨). They may bring relief, but they bring little enjoyment, and while one part of our brain desperately wishes to stop them, another is afraid of stopping.

I used to view compulsions as foreign and almost frightening. But in the course of my research, two things happened. First, when I got to know people who were compulsive, their behaviour didn’t seem unreasonable at all. Second, I realized that although people with the most extreme compulsions seem like outliers (另类人), the anxiety that drives them to those extremes is universal.

Over any year, many of us find ourselves in the control of a compulsion that falls short of something that is disabling enough to qualify as a mental disorder — in fact, some compulsions are adaptive, helping us lead our lives or perform our jobs more effectively.

Like many people, maybe you feel forced to reach for your smart phone as soon as you wake up in the morning. Fortunately a growing number of experts have begun to succeed in distinguishing addictions from compulsions.

An addiction begins with a flash of pleasure accompanied with danger; it’s fun to gamble or to drink, and it also puts you at risk. Additions involve acting without planning or even thought, driven by an urge for immediate satisfaction. Compulsions, in contrast, are all about avoiding unpleasant outcomes. They are behaviours we repeat many times to relieve the anxiety brought on by the possibility of negative consequences. But the actual behaviour is often unpleasant — or at least not particularly rewarding, especially after many rounds of it.

Behind every compulsion is the need to avoid what causes you pain or anxiety. Compulsive behaviour is not necessarily a mental disorder. Some forms of it can be, and people in its control deserve to be diagnosed and helped. But many are expressions of psychological needs we all feel: to be at peace and in control, to feel connected and to matter. And if those are mental illnesses, we’re all crazy.

1From the first two paragraphs, we know that _____.

A. compulsions can bring relief as well as enjoyment

B. compulsive people will prefer unreasonable behaviour

C. compulsions may be an understandable response to anxiety

D. compulsive people must be frightening and behave differently

2The main difference between addictions and compulsions lies in _____.

A. human relationships B. financial rewards

C. internal drives D. social expectations

3What’s the author’s attitude towards compulsion?

A. Objective. B. Negative.

C. Doubtful. D. Cautious.
