分析 本文描述的就是科学家们见证一个新岛是如何诞生的及其相关细节

解答 48.C  细节理解题.根据第三,四,五行:A volcano (火山) was breaking out.Red hot rocks,fire and smoke were rushing up from the bottom of the sea.The island grew quickly.It was 10 metres high the next day and 60 metres high on 18th November.Scientists flew there to watch.可知等到火山爆发后,科学家们才飞过去看,见证一个岛的诞生,故选C.
49.D  细节理解题.根据第二行:A fishing boat was near Iceland.可知d排在第一个;根据时间的推移,火山爆发了,故第二,三行:He saw some black smoke.A volcano (火山) was breaking out.Red hot rocks,fire and smoke were rushing up from the bottom of the sea.可知b排在d的后面;从火山里面喷出来的石头落到海里面,故The sea was boiling.所以c排在d后面;根据倒数几行的描述可知:Surtsey grew and grew.Then it stopped in June 1967.It was 175 metres high and 2 kilometres 1ong.And life was already coming to Surtsey.Plants grew.Birds came.Some scientists built a house.They wanted to learn about this young island.新岛在1967年的6月诞生了,鸟儿来到了这里,科学家们也在这里安了家,故e排在c后面,a排最后.顺序是:.d-b-c-e-a,故选D.
50.B 主旨大意题.本文描述的就是科学家们见证一个新岛是如何诞生的及其相关细节,故选B.

10.I like this job,in which I stay with small children and from which I get the challenges and awards.I also think my work is important.There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.
I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork.In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer.I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job.Looking after two little girls,it wasn't too bad at first.But the problems began when I agreed to live in,so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening.We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week,she'd give me time off the next.But unfortunately,it didn't often work out.I was getting extremely tired and fed up,because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
One Sunday,I was in the park with the children,and met Megan who used to go to school with me,I told her about my situation.She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification if I wanted to work with children.I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't take many exams in school.She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful.My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course.I had to leave my job with the family,and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I've got a full-time job there.I shall always be thankful to Megan.Iwish I had known earlier that you could have a career,even if you aren't top of the class at school.
21.When staying with the two girls'family,the authorC.
A.got much help from her boss         
B.was paid for extra work
C.often worked long hours               
D.took a day off every other week
22.Why did the author leave her first job?B
A.She needed a rest after working extra hours.
B.She decided to attend a part-time course.
C.She was fed up with children.
D.She found a full-time job.
23.What has the author learned from her own experiences?C
A.One must choose the job she likes.
B.Hard work makes an excellent student.
C.Less successful students can still have a career.
D.Qualifications are necessary for a career.
17.During March break,I had an opportunity to go to Ecuador on a mission trip.In Quito,the capital city,slums dominate,stray dogs exist on every street comer and walls topped with broken glass or nails frame the city streets.Most of the city seems to be held together by pure will,from the one room shack resting on the side of a mountain,to a wall leaning so far over.It doesn't feel safe to walk beside.         
In North America,we try to hide our problems behind shiny glass and steel buildings.We cover our emotions with stuff (物质).The world sees the proud face put forth by the cities and economies of the western world.In reality,something important is lacking beneath our skyscrapers.Personally,what the average family cares about is what you own and what you do for a living.Families fall apart and the days of knowing your neighbors are long gone.
In Ecuador,many people face problems:poverty,abuse,alcoholism,unemployment and broken homes.Yet they are the happiest,most optimistic people I have ever met.They are always smiling and greeting people.If you get close enough,they'll pull you into a hug and talk to you in Spanish even though you can't understand a single word.
As I worked alongside the Ecuadorians,it became clear that the things North Americans are missing are the relationships and sense of community that hold the people together.These are the key elements to our happiness.
The people of Ecuador lack so much,yet they have so much more to give.The children are raised by a community,and their expressions of love are far more effective than our North American attempts to love our children with stuff.The Ecuadorian people help each other in all ways possible.They pulled me in and shared their love with me.In one of the strangest places I have ever been,I felt at home.
In North America,we need to share and give love like the people of Ecuador.Under our mask of steel and glass,we are more damaged than some of the least privileged people in the world.I went on this trip to help people,but in the end,they helped me more than I could ever help them.
68.Which is the best title for this passage?A
A.Discovering What We lack                
B.Bringing Happiness to the Poor
C.Helping for Love in Return                
D.Building International Relationship
69.Which of the following sentences can be put in the blank in Paragraph 1?C
A.People don't share many common interests in North America and Ecuador.
B.North America is very unique from Ecuador but also similar in some ways.
C.The differences between the North American world and Ecuador are vast.
D.Some serious economic problems exist in North America and Ecuador.
70.Which of the following is TRUE?B
A.Ecuadorians are blind to their social problems.
B.Material needs are overstressed in North America.
C.Ecuadorians love their children with stuff more effectively.
D.Emotional problems are obvious to be noticed in North America.
71.The writer convinces the readers byD.

12.I needed to buy a digital camera,one that was simply good at taking good snaps(快照),maybe sometimes for magazines.Being the careful type,I fancied a reliable brand(品牌).So I went on the net,spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites,wrote down the names of three top recommendations(推荐) and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store.There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list.And it was on special offer.Oh joy.I pointed at it and asked an assistant,"Can I have one of those?"He looked upset."Do you want to try it first?"he said.It didn't quite sound like a question."Do I need to?"I replied,"there's anything wrong with it?"This made him look a bit angry and I started to feel bad.‘‘No,no.But you should try it,''he said encouragingly,"compare it with the others."
    I looked across at the others:shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall,offering all kinds of just a little different prices and discounts(折扣),with each company selling a type of models based around the same basic box.With so many models to choose from,it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y,always trying to take Z and possibly H into consideration at the same time.But when I had finished,I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with:first,soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop,it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second,my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.
    But something in the human soul says in a low voice that you can beat these traps by making the right choice,the clever choice,the wise choice.In the end,I agreed to try the model I had chosen.The assistant seemed a sincere man.So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard,show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers…and when he started to introduce the special characters,I stopped him and asked whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.
    Why do we think that new choices still offer us anything new?Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.
67.The shop assistant insisted that the writer shouldB.
A.try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it
B.compare the camera he had chosen with the others
C.get more information about different companies
D.trust him and stop asking questions
68.What does the writer mean by"it would be worth half what I paid for it"(Paragraph2)?C
A.He should get a 50%discount.
B.The price of the camera was unreasonably high.
C.The quality of the camera was not good.
D.The camera would soon fall in value.
69.The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because heC.
A.knew very little about it
B.didn't trust the shop assistant
C.wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best
D.had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers
70.It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer's opinionD.
A.people waste too much money on cameras
B.cameras have become an important part of our daily life
C.we don't actually need so many choices when buying a product
