题目内容

It’s great fun to explore new places—it feels like an adventure，even when you know you’re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.

● Do the map reading if you’re being driven somewhere. It’ll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you’re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn or you’ll have to move to the back seat.

● Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass , a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies . Tell someone where you’re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.

● See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc.)in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it’s not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.

1.Sitting beside the driver, you should___________.

A. direct the driver when necessary

Do you want a bit of an adventure? Would you like to discover all the corners of the UK, or travel abroad? Maybe you have never tried the motorhome lifestyle before. Well, read this article and you will know why a motorhome is a good choice.

Nothing is better than a motorhome. It has so many uses that it is considered the most versatile vehicle and it is also very comfortable. If you are thinking about hiring a motorhome this summer, then the best choice is to book it early, especially if you are considering the school holidays. The motorhome hire service is very seasonal and motorhome hire companies will never have extra vehicles available in the summer months.

There are a lot of companies throughout the UK, and some of the big ones have motorhomes spread all over the country. At present, the largest network for motorhome hire is provided by Motorhome which is based in Cambridge. If you are in the UK, you may phone 0800612-8719 for details of its motorhome hire information. Motorhome has a network of over 500 vehicles all over England, Scotland and Wales.

Most people wishing to hire a motorhome are families that are looking for an alternative to a European package holiday, especially as flying now has become more expensive, and is considered to be environmentally unfriendly. There is no doubt that the idea of no-fly holidays is going to become more popular as fewer people think it is safe to fly. This explains why more and more people are choosing to hire a motorhome for their holidays.

A. take an adventure

B. travel to England

C. try a new lifestyle

D. hire a motorhome

2.What does the underlined word “versatile” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Fast. B. Safe.

C. You can arrange your time better this way.

D. Students usually book them to earn money.

They like using the Internet. They have lots of pocket money to spend. And they spend a higher proportion of it online than the rest of us. Teenagers are just the sort of people an online seller is interested in, and the things they want to buy－games, CDs and clothing－are easily sold on the Web.

But paying online is a troublesome business for consumers who are too young to own credit cards. Most have to use a parent’s card. They want a facility that allows them to spend money.

That may come sooner than they think: new ways to take pocket money into cyber (网络的) space are coming out rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic. If successful, these products can stimulate online sales.

In general, teenagers spend huge amounts: $153bn (billion) in the US last year and ￡20bn annually in the UK. Most teenagers have access to the Internet at home or at school－88 percent in the US, 69 percent in the UK. According to the Jupiter Research, one in eight of those with Internet access has bought something online－mainly CDs and books.

In most cases, parents pay for these purchases with credit cards, an arrangement that is often unsatisfactory for them and their children. Pressing parents to spend online is less productive than pressing them to spend on the high street. They are more likely to ask “Why?” if you ask to spend some money online.

One way to help teenagers change notes and coins into cyber cash is through prepaid cards such as Internet Cash in the US and Smart cards in the UK. Similar to those for pay-as-you-go mobile telephones, they are sold in amounts such as￡20 or $50 with a concealed 14-digit number that can be used to load the cash into an online account.

1.What does the word “They” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Sellers. B. Buyers.

C. Teenagers. D. Parents.

2.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. More than half of the teenagers in the US and the UK have Internet access.

B. Teenagers pay for goods online with their own credit cards.

C. Most teenagers in the US and the UK have bought something online.

D. Teenagers found it easier to persuade parents to buy online than in a shop.

3.New way to help teenagers shop online is to use ______.

A. a new machine

B. special coins and notes

C. prepaid cards

D. pay-as-you-go mobile phones

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Online shopping traps.

B. Internet users in the US and the UK.

C. New credit cards for parents.

D. The arrival of cyber pocket money.

 

Dress codes cause us arguments

The first day of school is always a chaotic(混乱的) time. For many students in the US, this year was even more so. It was all due to one extra school policy. They are now required to wear clothes that meet a new standardized dress code(规范).

According to the handbooks of all high schools in Allentown, Pennsylvania, students must wear short or long sleeve polo shirts and khaki(卡其色的) or black pants. Skinny jeans, leggings(紧身裤), and open toe shoes are not allowed.

Allentown schools are not alone. Overall, about 57 percent of American public schools now have a “strict dress code”, up from more than 47 percent a decade earlier, said USA Today.

Some students don’t mind wearing a similar attire(服装) every day. “It takes away the daily fashion show and helps level the playing fields a little bit with the haves and have-nots,” longtime school safety consultant Ken Trump told USA Today.

But others aren’t happy, claiming that uniforms rob students of individuality(个性).

While school uniforms have been a popular topic to discuss recently in the US, however, in the UK there are much fewer questions about them-they are a tradition.

School uniforms in England were first introduced during the reign(统治) of King Henry VIII in the 16th century. They became popular following the Elementary Education Act of 1870. The UK Department of Education’s website states: “The Department strongly encourages schools to have a uniform as it can…contribute to the beliefs of a school and set the correct tone.

The uniform is now a strong part of school culture in the UK. Schools sometimes even have “Mufti”(便服) days on which students can wear their own clothes if they make a small donation(捐赠) to charity.

However, the tradition does not mean that school uniforms are popular there.

Many “children hate them”, according to Aisha on the BBC Newsround website. Ask UK students why they wear a school uniform and their answer will mostly likely be, “because we have to”.

1. We can infer from the first three paragraphs that ________.

A. there is a strict standardized dress code in most American public schools

B. the high schools in Allentown, Pennsylvania have the strictest dress code in the US

C. there has been a growing trend of strict dress codes in US high schools in the last decade

D. the new standardized dress code in Allentown’s high schools was put forward by teachers and parents

2. We can learn from the article that students’ attitudes towards dress codes are _____

A. negative B. divided

C. supportive D. doubtful

3.What does paragraph 7 mainly talk about?

A. The popularity of school uniforms in the UK.

B. The history and tradition of school uniforms in the UK.

C. The benefits of promoting school uniforms in the UK.

D. The UK Department of Education’s requirements on school uniforms.

4.According to the article, on Mufti days, students in some UK schools ______.

A. are required to make a donation to charity

B. can vote to choose their own school uniforms

C. can wear their own clothes if they contribute to charity

D. are allowed to wear whatever they like for the morning
