Texting in the street—your funeral
Millions of people are putting their lives at risk by texting their friends as they walk along busy streets, reported the Daily Mail.
One in ten 41 users has already been 42 because they are so lost in their phones that they fail to 43 lamp-posts or cars, according to Joanna Lumdsen of Aston University.
To test the danger of texting while 44 , Lumdsen did an experiment in which volunteers followed a 45 path while trying to 46 in a message on the phone.
Around them, screens 47 up instructions to avoid stepping on 48 colors on the floor.
She found that people missed one in five 49 because they were so busy with their phones.
“In 50 life this means that one in five lamp-posts or moving cars is 51
to go unnoticed by people 52 and walking,” she said.
Her research is looking for ways cell phone makers could improve the 53
of phones to make texting on the move 54 . That could 55 easier-to-use voice operated phones, or phones that respond to gestures.
“The safest thing is 56 people not to text while they walk along,” she said. “ 57 a lot of people in business are 58 to carry a mobile phone and be in 59 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are under pressure to reply to calls 60 , and to respond to text messages and emails straight away.

Let’s go trick-or-treating!” My daughter waited by the door in her pink princess skirt while I prayed in the living room. Usually I liked taking her out on Halloween, but this year I was sad. I was worried about my mother, who was in China on vacation. I got a call that afternoon that she had slipped and fallen on the hard floor of her hotel and broken her leg. She was taken to a hospital in Beijing. Mom was nervous because she couldn’t understand any of the doctors. If only I could do something to help her! I knew I couldn’t let my worries spoil my daughter’s fun. There was nothing I could do for Mom except pray, I thought. We left the house and went down the block. I was so upset that I hardly took notice of the kids around me. There came the man to whose son I’d once given piano lessons. “Hello there,” I said, greeting him and the boy at his side. “Hello,” the father answered. “Having fun?”“I’m trying,” I said. “Why, what’s wrong?” he asked. I told him the whole story. “My mother, in China, broke her leg and didn’t understand any of the doctors. And I’m too far away to do anything!” I said. He raised his eyebrows. “Beijing, you said?” he asked. I nodded. He smiled. “Believe it or not, my sister is a doctor at an English-speaking hospital there. If you want, I’ll make a call right away and we’ll try and get your mom transferred (转移).” A few days later I sat in the living room with my daughter as she finished the last of the candy. “Mommy, how far away is China?” she asked. “Not as far as I thought,” I said. 41.What did the author’s daughter want to do?
42.What was the author’s mother worried about most?
43.The author hardly took notice of the kids around because _____ .

Maybe even lots of snow. If you don’t have to drive in it or remove it, snow can be very beautiful. When snow covers everything around you, the world looks like a “winter wonderland”. That is the name of a very popular song about winter. Richard Smith and Felix Bernard wrote the song back in 1934. There are hundreds of recordings of this happy song. But winter is not always such a beautiful and happy time. It’s cold outside. You try hard to keep warm. The days are darker and shorter. The sun rarely shines. The leaves on the trees are brown. It isn’t surprising that some people are sad in winter. And some people dream about being somewhere else where it’s warm and pretty—like the state of California. The Mamas and the Papas recorded this famous song “California Dreaming”. During the 1960s, many other famous rock groups released songs about winter. Here is a poetic song by Simon and Garfunkel called “A Hazy Shade of Winter”. They sing about life and hope and possibilities. In 1968, the group Blood, Sweat and Tears recorded this gentle, sad song about winter. They sing about a lost love and forgotten memories in “Sometimes in Winter”. In the early 1990s, Tori Amos wrote and recorded the beautiful song called “Winter”. She enjoyed singing about winter when she was a child. Finally, on a happier note comes this song written and recorded by Fountains of Wayne in 2003. They sing about a snowstorm in a New England town. Nothing unusual there. But instead of being sad or tense about the snow, they write a song about it. 49. The underlined sentence “For some areas, that means snow.” probably means _____ .
50. According to the second paragraph, winter is _____ .
51.Which of the songs can bring us hope of life?
52.What does the passage mainly talk about?

In 2002, former England international footballer Jeff Astle died aged 59. A coroner (验尸官) said that Astle died from a brain disease likely to have been caused by “repeated small damages to the brain” related to heading a heavy leather football. Dr. Scott Delaney, research director of emergency medicine at McGill University Health Center in Montreal, Canada, has also researched soccer-related head injury and agrees that head-to-head or elbow-to-head blows are the real risk. In 2007, Delaney carried out a study on footballers aged between 12 and 17 that showed they were half as likely to be concussed (使脑部受到震荡) wearing headgear (帽) than without. He said youngsters have a higher risk of head injury than adults because their heads are thinner and less able to absorb shock. To make matters worse, their neck muscles aren’t as well developed and they often lack the correct heading technique that can help throw away the force of the ball. Delaney recommends that children wear headgear when playing football and says his two eldest children wear head protection playing the sport. But he admits that children can be unwilling to be the first to wear head protection—especially when their football heroes play without it. While headgear can protect footballers from being concussed during a match, no one knows the long-term effects of repeated “sub-concussive” blows to the head. Delaney says that while there is indirect evidence that a career in soccer can lead to dementia, no one has yet found a sure link between the two. He says proving a link would mean monitoring hundreds of footballers for three or four decades—and that would take a lot of funding. 57.Which might be the best title of the passage?
58.According to Delaney’s research, what is the most risky injuries to head?
59. Children are unwilling to wear headgear because they think _____ .
60.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____ .

Before you send in your college applications, keep this in mind: it’s not the norm (准则) in every culture for students to go to college right out of high school. 65. So if you find yourself applying for college simply because it’s the thing to do after high school, think again. Going to college right after high school may be the norm in your community, but it’s not the norm everywhere and it may not be the best decision for you. 66. Yes, higher education often gives young people a big advantage in the working world, but not always. A solid technical or business school application can give you an advantage as well, and if the environment seems like a better one for you than a traditional college campus, this might be your best choice. A lot of people lead successful lives with a high school education and years of work experience. The price of a college or university education has become a serious burden for young people and their families. 67. In some cases, putting off college for a year or two while a student earns money full time can make sense. 68. 69. Almost all students suffer from homesickness, but for some students, the transition may be too much to deal with.
E. So students take massive amounts of loans, which can take decades to pay off. F. Many young people have other choices, like military service, work experience, community service or travel. G. The transition from high school to college is an emotional challenge for almost everybody, especially if you move away from home. 【答案】 70.F 71.C 72.E 73.D 74.G 【解析】 略 【题型】其他 【适用】较难 【标题】20102011学年吉林省长春十一中高一下学期期末考试英语题 【关键字标签】Are You Ready for College?,学习类 【结束】 17【题文】阅读下列每个句子,根据空白处的汉语提示,填入适当词汇。每空仅限一词。 75.Now the government is paying more attention to _____ (农业). 76.W out!

下面的材料从四个方面对二胡作了介绍,请筛选信息,保留各方面的主要内容,压缩成一段文字,不超过60个字。
二胡是中国的一种很奇妙的乐器,是胡琴的一种,比京胡大,也叫南胡。二胡的构造很简单:由一根长约80厘米的细细的木制琴杆、内外两根琴弦、琴杆下端的蒙着蟒皮或蛇皮的琴筒构成,琴筒呈茶杯形,用木或竹制成,蟒皮或蛇皮是制作二胡的重要材料;用马尾做的琴弓演奏,这与小提琴同样用马尾做琴弓是一样的。二胡声音低沉圆润,听起来略带忧伤,常用来表达比较深沉的情感。二胡产生的历史悠久,又比较容易学习,因此是深受中华民族喜爱的乐器,是中国民间普及率比较高的乐器。
解析:首先利用公式,确定主干句。二胡是一种乐器,“乐器”就是“二胡”的属性。根据题干“从四个方面对二胡作了介绍”,可以提炼出“二胡”的另外三个特征:①二胡的构造。②演出的材料及效果。③深受中华民族喜爱。然后嵌入公式,组成连贯的语句表达出来。

下面文章中5处(第81-85题)需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
| A. Education yourself in a long-term way. B. Save up for retirement. C. Work towards a goal. D. Spend money carefully to get long pleasure. E. Wise investment can make your life different. F. Develop lasting personal relationship. |
We all want to buy a new piece of electronic product, spend an expensive night in town, or take a loan for the good-looking care we can’t afford in order to make ourselves happy. You might feel great when you get those things, but later rash(轻率的) spending will hurt you a lot. Because expensive things don’t create lasting happiness and security. Careful spending will bring you great enjoyment in the future.
2._______
Wise investing is also something everyone can work on to live happily. It even can make a big difference when they retire between their 40’s and their 60’s. For example, if a person in his early 20’s invests 20% of his income in a fund(基金), the interest he earns will equal his current salary when he reaches his early 40’s. He could retire without a drop in income!
3._______
To be happy, we need continuous growth. The best way to grow is life-long education. This doesn’t mean you need to spend 2 hours reading every day. What you need is just to keep an open mind and search for fresh ideas. Education builds over time. You might think that the bits of wisdom you acquire every day don’t mean much, but over the years they will add up to make you a wiser person.
4. ________
The personal relationships we develop with friends and family members are the greatest source of happiness in our lives. Don’t forget them. Taking some time to build and enjoy personal relationships is essential to long-term happiness. No matter how successful you are, you’ll probably be miserable without the people you care about.
5.________
If you always feel unhappy and think your life is terrible, try to set a goal which interests you a lot. We can’t control everything in our lives, but working towards a goal gives us something positive to focus on and lays the foundation for the future success. 查看习题详情和答案>>
