Three Boys and a Dad
Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother.Expecting a whole day to relax,he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months.“This will be like a walk in the park,”he’d told his wife.“I’ll look after the kids,and you can go visit your mom.”
Things started well,but just after eight o’clock,his three little “good kids”—Mike,Randy,and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast,daddy.”When food had not appeared within thirty seconds,Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum.Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍).Mike chanted “Where’s my toast,where’s my toast” in the background.Brad realised his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.
Life became worse after breakfast.Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head.Randy locked himself in the bathroom,while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants.Nobody could find clean socks,although they were before their very eyes.Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes.Brad knew the talk show had already started.
By ten o’clock,things were out of control.Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter.Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils.Randy,thankfully,appeared to be reading quietly in the family room,but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands.Brad realised that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.
At exactly 11∶17,Brad called the daycare centre(日托所).“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away.Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?”The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.(2012·陕西,B)
When his wife left home,Brad expected to________.

A.go out for a walk in the park
B.watch TV talk show with his children
C.enjoy his first day off work
D.read the newspaper to his children

Which of the following did Randy do?

A.Drawing on the wall. B.Eating apple jam.
C.Feeding the fish. D.Reading in a room.

Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?

A.Because he wanted to clean up his house.
B.Because he suddenly had to go to his office.
C.Because he found it hard to manage his boys.
D.Because he had to take his wife back home.

This text is developed________.

A.by space B.by comparison
C.by process D.by time

Scientists in Israel have discovered a new way to test for water pollution by “listening” to what the plants growing in water have to say.
By shining a laser beam (激光束) on the tiny pieces of algae floating in the water,the researchers said they hear sound waves that tell them the type and amount of contamination (致污物) in the water.
“It is a red light,telling us that something is beginning to go wrong with the quality of water,” said Zvy Dubinsky,an aquatic biologist at Israel’s Bar Ilan University.“Algae is the first thing to be affected by a change in water quality.”“The secret,” he said,“is to measure the rate of photosynthesis (光合作用) in the algae,meaning the plant’s ability to transform light into energy.” During photosynthesis,plants also release oxygen into the air.
Dubinsky’s technique is easy to perform because of the overabundance of algae in the planet’s water.Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere comes from algae.A prototype tester that occupies about one square meter of a laboratory desktop,shoots a laser beam at water samples to stimulate photosynthesis in the algae.But not all of the laser’s heat is used.Depending on the condition of the algae and the rate of photosynthesis,some of the heat is shot back into the water,creating sound waves,Dubinsky said.With a special underwater microphone,researchers are able to analyze the strength of the sound waves and determine the health of the algae and the condition of the surrounding water.
“Algae suffering from lead poisoning,like waste discharged from battery and paint manufacturing plants,will produce a different sound than those suffering from lack of iron or exposure to other toxins,” said researcher Yulia Pinchasov.She said that testing algae photosynthesis can determine water quality more accurately and easily than laborintensive methods now used like chemical and radioactive carbon testing.
The underlined word “algae” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to a kind of________.

A.instrument B.plant
C.wood D.pollutant

Why is the algae tested?

A.Because it floats on the water.
B.Because it can have photosynthesis.
C.Because it is the first to be polluted.
D.Because it can produce different sounds.

We can infer from the passage that________.

A.algae can produce a loud sound when polluted
B.algae can die easily from pollution
C.photosynthesis of the algae can only be caused by sunlight
D.photosynthesis of the algae is related to water quality

What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Scientists Listen to Plants to Find Water Pollution
B.A Prototype Tester Is Used to Determine Water Pollution
C.The Importance of Photosynthesis of the Algae
D.The Problem of Chemical and Radioactive Carbon Testing

Most people are aware that outdoor air pollution can damage their health,but many do not know that indoor air pollution can also have significant health effects.Environmental Protection Agency studies indicate that indoor levels of pollutants may be 3~5 times,and occasionally more than 100 times,higher than outdoor levels.These levels of indoor air pollutants may be of particular concern because most people spend about 90% of their time indoors.
There are many sources of indoor air pollution in any home.These include sources such as oil,gas,coal,wood,and tobacco products,building materials,wet or damp carpet,and furniture made of certain pressed wood products,products for household cleaning and maintenance,personal care,or hobbies,central heating and cooling systems.
Immediate effects may show up after a single exposure (暴露) or repeated exposures.These include irritation of the eyes,nose,and throat,headaches,dizziness.Such immediate effects are usually shortterm and treatable.Sometimes the treatment is simply removing the person’s exposure to the source of the pollution,if it can be identified.
The likelihood of immediate reactions to indoor air pollutants depends on several factors.Age and preexisting medical conditions are two important influences.In other cases,whether a person reacts to a pollutant depends on individual sensitivity,which varies tremendously from person to person.Some people can become sensitized to biological pollutants after repeated exposures,and it appears that some people can become sensitized to chemical pollutants as well.
Certain immediate effects are similar to those from colds or other viral (病毒性的) diseases,so it is often difficult to determine if the symptoms are a result of exposure to indoor air pollution.While pollutants commonly found in indoor air are responsible for many harmful effects,there is considerable uncertainty about what concentrations or periods of exposure are necessary to produce specific health problems.People also react very differently to exposure to indoor air pollutants.Therefore,further research is needed to better understand the effects of indoor air pollution and to find efficient ways to protect our health.
According to the first paragraph,which of the following is NOT true?

A.People often fail to notice indoor air pollution.
B.Indoor air pollution sometimes is more dangerous than outdoor air pollution.
C.Outdoor air pollution may not be so serious as indoor air pollution.
D.It is obvious that people have been paying more attention to indoor air pollution.

According to the author,which may NOT be the source of indoor air pollution?

A.Building materials. B.Wet carpet.
C.Cooling system. D.Refrigerators.

What does the underlined word “irritation” in the third paragraph probably mean?

A.Bad intention. B.Much sensitivity.
C.Injury. D.Carelessness.

Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A.Reactions of Pollution B.Danger from Home
C.Pollution Resources D.Different Pollutions

Mothers and daughters go through so much—yet when was the last time a mother and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all? Perri Klass and her mother,Sheila Solomon Klass,both gifted professional writers,prove to be ideal cowriters as they examine their decades of motherhood,daughterhood,and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped(重叠).
Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother’s: both have fulltime careers; both have published books,articles,and stories; each has three children; they both love to read.They also love to travel—in fact,they often take trips together.But in truth,the harder they look at their lives,the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.
A child of the Depression(大萧条),Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls.Starting with her college education,she has fought for everything she’s ever accomplished.Perri,on the other hand,grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s.For Sheila,wasting time or money is a crime,and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury,but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.
Each writing in her own unmistakable voice,Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains,the love and bitterness,the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together.Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork.Perri admits that she can’t sort out all the mess in the households,even though she knows it drives her mother crazy.Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working,admit longhidden sorrows,and enjoy precious memories.
Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together,Perri and Sheila tell their motherdaughter story with honesty,humor,enthusiasm,and admiration for each other.A written account in two voices,Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet(二重奏) that produces a deep,strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.       (2013·湖北,B)
Why does Perri think that her own life has mirrored her mother’s?

A.They both have gone through difficult times.
B.They have strong emotional ties with each other.
C.They have the same joys and pains,and love and bitterness.
D.They both have experiences as daughter,mother and writer.

The word “luxury” in Paragraph 3 means________.

A.something rare but not pleasant
B.something that cannot be imagined
C.something expensive but not necessary
D.something that can only be enjoyed by boys

What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A.The content of the book.
B.The purpose of the book.
C.The influence of the book.
D.The writing style of the book.

How are women’s lives explored in this book?

A.In a musical form.
B.Through field research.
C.With unique writing skills.
D.From different points of view.

The way people hold to the belief that a funfilled,painfree life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness.If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness,then pain must be equal to unhappiness.But in fact,the opposite is true.More often than not,things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result,many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness.They fear the pain inevitably (不可避免地) brought by such things as marriage,raising children,professional achievement,religious commitment and selfimprovement.
Ask a bachelor (单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying.If he is honest,he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment.Certainly,commitment is quite painful.The single life is filled with fun,adventure,and excitement.Marriage has such moments,but they are not its most distinguishing (显著的) features.
Couples with infant (婴儿) children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a threeday vacation.I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations.It liberates time:now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness.It liberates money:buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless.And it liberates us from envy:we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

Jack Benny was one of the most famous names in show business.He was born in Chicago,Illinois,on February 14th,1894.His parents,Meyer and Emma Kubelsky,were religious Jews.They had moved to the United States from Eastern Europe.Benny was a quiet boy.For much of the time,his parents were busy working in his father’s store.As a child,Benny learned to play the violin.After finishing his school,he joined the Navy.He continued using his violin to perform for sailors.In one show he was chosen more for his funny jokes than for his skill with the violin.That experience made him believe that his future job was a comedian.
Benny developed a show personality that had all the qualities people dislike.He was known for being so stingy—he refused to spend any money unless forced to do so.On his shows Benny often spoke of his appearance,especially his baby blue eyes.As he grew older,he always claimed to be 39 years old.Benny rarely made jokes that hurt other people.Instead,he would let the other actors on the show tell jokes about him.
In real life,he was very giving and he was a person people liked having as their employer.Benny entered the new media of television in 1950.Five years later,he dropped his radio programme to spend more time developing his television show.At first his appearances on television were rare.By 1960 the Benny Show was a weekly television programme.It continued until 1965.Benny appeared in about twenty films during his life.A few became popular.But most were not.In 1963 Benny returned to Broadway for the first time since 1931.
Benny received many awards during his lifetime.Perhaps the one honour that pleased him most was that his hometown of Waukeegan named a school for him.This was a special honour for a man who had never finished high school.
Benny continued to perform.He died of cancer in 1974.At his funeral his friend Bob Hope said,“Jack Benny was stingy to the end.He gave us only eighty years.”
