     I was taking a train to London’s Victoria Station. I had noticed that the carriage was noise and filled with people.

     Before long, a train inspector comes to check out tickets. A passenger realized he couldn’t find his ticket but became quite upset. Then everyone in the carriage began searching the ticket, which was eventually found under a seat several rows from his owner. The person who found a ticket smiled with pleasure at his success.

     No one in the carriage had previous spoken to or even noticed the ticket-owner before. Yet, they had so quickly offered the strangers their help. If we could show concern to others on need, the world would be a better place to live in.

【解析】

【试题分析】本文是一篇记叙文,叙述了作者在火车上找不到自己的票了,车上的一些陌生人都开始帮着找,结果被其中的一个乘客帮着找到了。如果我们的社会都献出一点爱心,世界将变得更加美好。

1.小题1】had—去掉had.根据上下文可知这里叙述的是过去的事情,应该用一般过去式

2.小题2】noise—noisy.我注意到车厢里是吵闹的,并且车厢里满人。这里was是系动词,后应该用形容词noisy吵闹的;noise吵闹,是名词。

3.小题3】comes—came.不久火车检票员来检票。因为根据上文第一句可知这里叙述的是那次坐火车的事情,所以句子应该用过去式。Comes是一般现在时;故用came过去式。

4.小题4】but—and.一个乘客意识到找不到他的票了,并且他很不安。But表示前后是转折关系,and表示前后是并列关系。这里因为找不到票而心里感到不安,并不是转折关系,而是顺承并列关系,故用and。

5.小题5】searching ∧the ticket—for.然后车厢里的每个人开始寻找这张票。这里begin doing sth开始做某事;search for sth寻找某事。

6.小题6】his—its/the.这张票在离它的主人隔几排的座位底下被找到了。这里which引导的是定语从句,修饰前面的先行词ticket。owner前应该用its指的是ticket’s或用定冠词the表示特指。

7.小题7】a—the.找到那张票的那个人笑了。因为上文已经提到了那张票,这里再次提到,所以应该用定冠词the。

8.小题8】previous—previously.先前车厢里没人和票的主人说话或注意到他。Previous以前的,是形容词;previously先前,是副词。这里应该用副词来修饰动词had spoken。

9.小题9】strangers—stranger.他们很快地给这位陌生人提供帮助。这里stranger指的是找票的那个人,是一个人,所以应该用单数。

10.小题10】on—in.如果我们能够表示对需要的人的关心,那么这个世界将会是居住的好地方。这里是短语in need急需,介词短语作定语,修饰前面的others,故用in。

考点:短文改错。

Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life. Every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the world around us. Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight:

· Schedule yearly exams. 1. Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check. The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment, including eyeglasses.

· 4. As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins (维生素) C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.

· Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隐形眼镜). Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight.

Wealth starts with a goal saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略). There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.

   Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. I f you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.

   When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put something in it.

   Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg,” and folks saved coins in pygg jars.The Middle English word

for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born.

   Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money--- college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely. 

1.What is the piggy bank strategy?

A. Paying 1% income tax at a time. 

B. Setting a goal before making a travel plan.

C. Aiming high even when doing small things.

D. Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.

2.Why did the writer’s parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?

A. To delight him with the latest fashion.       

B. To encourage him to climb mountains.

C. To help him form the habit of saving.         

D. To teach him English pronunciation.

3.What does then underlined word “something”(Paragraph 3) most probably refer to?

A. Money                                 B. Gifts

C. Financial success                         D. Good luck

4.The piggy ban originally was _________.

A. a potter’s instrument                     

B. a cheap clay container

C. an animal-shaped dish                    

D. a pig-like toy for children

5.The last paragraph talks about ________.

A. the seriousness of educating children                

B. the enjoyment of taking a great trip

C. the importance of managing money                

D. the difficulty of starting a business

 

Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person’s ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead a better way of doing things. All these, however, remains true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.

However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who missed the “good old days”, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to. The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or to see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication gadgets, such as mobile phones and ipads, people often do not take the effect to visit one another personally. A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse our selves or turn the other person off.

With efficiency also comes mass production. Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today. Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handcrafts(手工艺品) are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.

Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.

It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people’s attitude. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new “past” is created.

1.According to Paragraph 1, progress can benefit people when they are willing to _______.

A. live a better life B. look for better methods

C. change ways of living D. accept technology and advance steadily

2.The underlined word “gadgets” is closest in meaning to _______.

A. tools B. messages C. barriers D. skills

3.The author explains “efficiency comes with a price” by _______.

A. describing a process B. using examples

C. following time order D. making classification

4.Compared with home-made handicrafts, machine made products _______.

A. lack great accuracy B. lack the personal touch

C. are of high value D. are quite welcome

5.What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4?

A. It can destroy old traditions.

B. It can lead to social progress.

C. It can be used to correct mistakes.

D. It can be used to preserve old products.

6.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?

A. Progress can suit the needs of daily life.

B. People review the past with great regret.

C. Technology should be introduced in a fixed way.

D. People’s attitude decides the use of technology.
