At present we are living in a good age. Therefore, there are still a small number of people who don't act responsible. His bad behaviors are out of place in our civilizing society. For an example, some people often risk their lives to disobey traffic rules. Littering is still a serious problem. Some people are often seen to spit in public places. Bad still, it is common to find silly things writing by some tourists in scenic spots.

To my opinion, everyone should learn to become a responsible citizen. We must aware that everything we do in public places will affect others and we should break our bad habits. As long as we obey the rule in every field and are filled with care and love, our world will become better.

【解析】

试题分析:我们现在生活在一个美好的时代。但是有一些人的不礼貌行为却与这个文明的社会格格不入。如不遵守交通规则、乱丢垃圾、随地吐痰、在公共景点随意刻画等。我们应该遵守社会公德,使这个社会变得更加美好。

1.第一句是我们现在生活在一个很好的时代。但是还有一些人做事不负责任。前后两句矛盾,所以把Therefore改为However。

2.act 是动词,应该用副词修饰,所以把responsible 改成responsibly。

3.他们的不礼貌行为在我们这个文明社会中是不合适的。前面提到一小部分人,所以应该把His改their,以保持人称一致。

4.用civilized(形容词,文明的)修饰名词society;所以把civilizing改为civilized。

5.前面举例说明了一些不文明的行为,如不遵守交通规则、乱丢垃圾、随地吐痰等。下面还有,所以用Bad的比较级Worse 来说明情况更糟,所以把Bad改为Worse。

6.经常看到一些游客在景点写一些愚蠢的东西。write 和前面的silly things 是被动关系,所以把writing改为written表被动。

7.“依我看”是固定表达:in my opinion ,所以把To改为In。

8.aware 是形容词,前面应该用be动词放在must之后。所以 在must和aware之间加be。

9.我们应该改正我们的不礼貌的行为。所以把break 改为correct。

10.遵守每个领域的规则。所以应该用rule的复数rules。

考点:短文改错。

Although Paris is often considered the city of romance, close to a million adults who call it home are single. Many single people say that France’s capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people. The complaints(抱怨) of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as “supermarket dating.” At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet, singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes, brown hair, and is 1.8 meters tall, or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.

At this Paris location, single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. When they walk through the door, they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles(过道) .

With purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay, they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat.

Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is easy to embellish(美化) one’s appearance or to lie about one’s age over the Internet. The supermarket, on the other hand, is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In addition, what one finds in another’s grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person’s character or intentions. Buying pet food can be a man’s way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living. These days it’s possible to find much more than food at a grocery store.

1.What do many single people in Pairs complain about?

C. The items on their grocery list.

3.According to the writer, a possible way to win a woman’s heart is to _______.

A. pick up a purple basket

B. The supermarket dating is more casual.

C. The supermarket dating can be trusted more.

D. The supermarket dating is less expensive.

 

Pilling a cat can be a 'terrible” experience. Cats don’t want something pushed down their throats, and they’ll fight with all their strength to prevent it. In fact, it’s amazing how powerful their small bodies can be.

The easiest way of pilling a cat is to press the pill into powder. Then mix the powder with a small amount of wet food. If your cat usually eats dry food, she will probably view the wet food as a treat and eat it up.

If your cat won’t eat the wet food that contains the pill or if she is too ill to eat, you can get a “pill gun”. There are some basic instructions. Getting your cat’s mouth to open is going to be the most difficult part. First, be sure the pill is in a handy place. Then you can put your cat on a bookshelf with her bottom in a corner or you can put her on your lap firmly tied. Have your cat facing to the right if you’re right-handed. With your left hand, hold your cat at the cheekbones, putting your palm (手掌) at the top of her head. Keeping your finger off the trigger (扳机), with your right hand, insert the pill gun until the pill is positioned over the tongue and open throat. Be sure to give your cat a treat directly after giving the pill.

If you don’t feel comfortable using a pill gun, you can try giving the pill by hand. Push your cat’s head backwards just far enough so that her nose is pointing towards the ceiling. At this point, most cats will slightly open their mouths. With the little finger or ring finger of the hand holding the pill, open the bottom jaw a little more. You may need to hold her top jaw with your other hand while doing this. Aim straight and lightly throw the pill or drop it. Most cats will then swallow the pill.

A. are amazingly powerful and dangerous

B. may fight with all their strength against pills

C. refuse something pressed down their throats

D. are difficult to treat once they’ve got ill

They already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆) or Alzheimer's.Alzheimer's can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing or drinking enough water.

The dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers(触发器) in the home that cause them to perform tasks.The duties will include reminding their owners to take medicine, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep regularly.

The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer's Scotland and Dogs for the Disabled.The first dogs will be distributed to four Scottish couples, where one of the partners is in the early stages of dementia.Some 670,000 people in Britain have dementia and one in three over 65s will develop the condition.By 2021 this is expected to rise to one million.

Joyce Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said, "People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine." Another advantage of using the pets as companions is that dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship.Ms Gray said, "The evidence is that people may forget familiar faces but not pets.It's such a strong bond that people often remember them longest.People don't need to communicate verbally (言语地) but they can still interact.You can have a speechless bond."

Helen McCain, director of Dogs for the Disabled, said, "People with dementia often forget to take the medicine.If a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it there's a greater chance of them taking it.The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people."

A Southampton University team found that people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity rates. The study of 8,179 people was reported in the British Medical Journal.

Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarians — although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.

Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores, between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.

Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.

Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.

Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, “The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease in adult life.

But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said,“It is like the chicken and egg. Do people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware of health issues?”

1.What’ s the result of the research mentioned in the text?

A. Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life.

B. Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life.

C. Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life.

D. Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life.

2.It was found in the research that________.

A. most of the participants became vegetarians 20 years after the IQ tests were carried out

B. female vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians

C. vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetarians

D. vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians

3.Catharine Gale talked about “being vegetarians” in a(n)________way.

A. doubtful B. favorable

C. negative D. objective

4.What’ s the best title for the text?

A. Get more IQ points!

B. Be a vegetarian, please!

C. A high IQ is linked to being a vegetarian

D. Vegetarian diet cuts heart risk

 

“You are going abroad and will live there? Oh, wonderful! You are so lucky.”

Perhaps your family and friends said similar things to you when you left home. But is it true all the time? Is your life in the new country always wonderful and exciting?

Specialists say that it isn’t that easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” (冲击) is the term specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. “There are three stages of culture shock,” say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers adapt to their surroundings and finally enjoy their life there.

Culture shock arises from many obvious factors. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems such as the telephone, post office, or transportation may be difficult to work out. Even the simplest things become headaches. Still worse, the language may be difficult.

Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new self?image.

Culture shock leads to a feeling of disorientation (迷惘). This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create and escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience are the long term solutions to the problem of culture shock.

1.When people move to a new country, they ________.

A. find their new life always wonderful and exciting.

B. dislike the new surroundings from the beginning.

C. quickly get accustomed to the new culture there.

D. will get used to the new life with certain difficulty.

2.Based on the passage, which of the following results from culture shock?

A. weather conditions and customs

B. public service and transportation

C. feeling homesick and disoriented

D. language communication issues

3.According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, ________.

A. the fewer difficulties you will meet with abroad

B. the more problems you may have to face abroad

C. the greater success you are likely to make abroad

D. the less homesick you will eventually feel abroad

4.Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage?

A. Cultural shock affects and surprises those who live in a new culture.

B. A new culture makes everything difficult except the simplest things.

C. Since culture shock is painful, we can never get over it completely.

D. Escaping by staying inside does solve the problem of culture shock.
