car seat, then the freedomride is the answer to your problem.would you want to be stuck in an unchangeable position every time youre in the car? no. you wouldnt.when an adult sits in a car for any length of time, we stretch, we change the position, we move our legs again and again. we do this without thinking. but kids in a traditional car seat cant do this. they are stuck in one position, and they cant move. we move because the circulation of blood needs to be recovered in our legs as we sit in the same position for any longer.in a traditional car seat, the child cant move to reduce the pain, so it puts them in anger.the freedomride lets them have a little freedom, and still be safe. the 5-point harness(背带)gives them additional safety over a traditional child car seat.i am the webmaster for , and when joeysafe asked us to redo their website, i was attracted by this system. that is because i have two small children, both girls, aged 3 and 4 and we obviously use car seats. i lived in southern california, and every couple of months, my wife, the girls and i, go to see grandma who lives in nevada. its a 5-hour drive, so the freedomride works well. our trips are so much better now, especially since there is more room in the car without the car seats.the freedomride really did make it easier to go on trips. the only thing you need when you use the joeysafe instead of your old child car seat is a pillow. besides, my kids want to take a pillow anyway! as a dad, i feel safe driving with the kids in the freedomride. i am a very safety-oriented person.21.from the text we can infer the freedomride is a _. a. car seat b. car for children c. safety belt d. game on 22.the freedomride is likely to be designed for_. a. a person hating sitting in the car for long b. an adult often driving a traditional car c. a child requiring some freedom in the car d. a driver needing comfortable seats23.the purpose of the last two paragraphs may be to _. a. support the topic of the child car safety b. describe the advantage of the freedomride c. introduce the detail of the authors work and web. d. describe what the author does with his child car seat24.the next part following the last paragraph may mention_. a. the way of ordering b. the way of communicating c. the inventor of this product d. the advantage of the product【答案】21.c22.c23.b24.ab if you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you dont need to feel surprised. they are a flash mob(暴民). who are they? are they mobs? dont be confused by their name. actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disappear.they are usually organized with the help of the internet or other digital communications networks. the messages may be sent to friends, who send to more people. at a predetermined time, they gather and perform some activities such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their voice for 30 seconds. then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive. using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its place if the first one has been cancelled for any reason.bill wasik, senior editor of harpers magazine, organized the first flash mob in manhattan in may 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on june 3, 2003. wasik claimed that he created the flash mob as a social experiment designed to laugh at fashion seekers and stress the cultural atmosphere of wanting to be an insider or part of “the next big thing”. flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. such an activity might seem amusing and magical, but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. undoubtedly, flash mob can serve as good political tools and have great potential, such as using flash mob to advertise a product.the flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. people use it to do many things. for example, in 2009, michael jacksons fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing michaels famous song “beat it” together. flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.25.what is not the feature of the flash mob?a. it can get together

at fashion seekers. d. to create some memories.28.what can we learn about the flash mob from the passage?a. bill wasik organized the first successful flash mob in may, 2003.b. people are encouraged to take a more active part in an activity.c. flash mobs tend to do something illegal for a short time.d. flash mob gathering can frighten all the people present.【答案】25.d26.b27.c28.bcamericans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio. these public media receive money to operate from private citizens, organizations and government. many of their programs are educational. but most of the american media are run by businesses for profit. these privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years. newspapers, magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity. at the same time, online, cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength. so have media that serve racial groups and those communicating in foreign languages.in general, more media than ever now provide americans with news and entertainment. at the same time, fewer owners control them. huge companies have many holdings(股份). in some areas, one company controls much of the media. one dramatic change in american media is the increased success of cable television. it comes into most homes over wires. it does not use the public airwaves to present programs, as broadcast television does. like broadcast television, most cable television programs perform advertisements. this is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes. thirty years ago, few people had cable. today, about sixty-eight percent of american homes have cable television. television by satellite also is gaining popularity.over the years, traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible. many cable companies, however, present programs for one special group of viewers. for example, there are cable stations for people who like books, cooking, travel, golf or comedy.29.which of the following is true about american public media?a. they depend on the government. b. they are controlled by the governmentc. they are free d. they can earn money.30.which of the following properly shows the change in these privately owned media?a. newspapers are getting more popular.b. satellite media is getting more popular.c. traditional media also serve racial groups.d. some media make their programs in foreign languages31.from the second paragraph, we learn that .a. broadcast tv and cable tv programs include sales messagesb. more media are out of controlc. american media is dramaticd. cable tv is free32.what would be the best title for the text?a. american news and entertainment b. public television and radio mediac. media in the united states d. cable programs in the united states【答案】29.d30.b31.a32.c【解析】试题分析：近些年私营传媒发生了很大改变，报纸、杂志和传统广播电视受欢迎程度逐渐下滑，而网络、有线电视和卫星电视的受众逐渐增加。29.d考查细节理解。根据“but most of the american media are run by businesses for profit”可知大部分美国传媒是为了营利，故选d。30.b考查推理判断。根据“these privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years.以及后文online, cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength”可知卫星电视越来越受欢迎，故选b。31.a考查推理判断。根据“like broadcast television, most cable television programs perform advertisements”可知广播电视和有线电视都有广告，故选a。32.c考查主旨大意。由全文可知，作者介绍了美国传媒发生的变化，全文都在说明美国传媒的事情，故选c。考点：考查社会类短文阅读 dhave you ever been out on a boat and felt it lifted up by a wave? or have you jumped in the water and felt the rush of energy as waves came over you.? asked jamie taylor of the wave energy group at the university of edinburgh. there is certainly a lot of energy in waves, he said. scientists are working to use that energy to make electricity. most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. the wind starts out by making little ripples (涟漪), but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves, taylor said. waves are one of natures ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey. when waves come toward the shore, people can set up dams to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (涡轮机). the turbine can then power an electrical generator to produce electricity. the resource is huge, said janet swain of the world watch institute. we will never run out of wave power. besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil or coal. oceans cover three-quarters of the earths surface-that would make wave power seem ideal for creating energy throughout the world, though there are some weak points yet to overcome. swain said that wave power still costs too much money. she also said that its effects on sea animals are still unknown. what is more, wave power could affect fishing and boat traffic. traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may someday run out. demand for energy to power our tvs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is rising rapidly throughout the world, swain said. in the future when you turn on a light, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!33.the underlined phrase picking up is closest in meaning to _.a. starting again b. speeding up c. improving d. gathering34.we can make better use of wave energy if we _.a. shorten its journey to thousands of homes b. build more small power stations on the oceans c. reduce the cost of turning it into electric power d. quicken the steps of producing electricity35.it can be inferred that some day we might not worry about _.a. our power supply b. our boat traffic c. air pollution d. our supply of sea fish【答案】33.d34.c35.a【解析】试题分析:本文介绍了海浪的能量。33.d考查词义猜测。pick up有很多意义，在这里是“收集”能量意思，这种意思，后面也有提示，sending it off，是递进关系，很容易推断出其意义，故选d。34.c考查细节理解。由文章中第五段，swain said that wave power still costs too much money，可得到答案，其它三个选项文中没有提及。35.a考查推理判断。由第四段第一句话，the resource is huge, said janet swain of the worldwatch institute. we will never run out of wave power. 可以得到答案，never run out of是不会枯竭的能源，所以我们不必担心我们的能源供应，故选a。 考点：考查环境能源类阅读短文 第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，共15分)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。when your pet is sick, you know it needs medication. but pets, like babies, dont know the pill you want them to take will help them. 36 here are some tips to help get your pet to take liquid medicine. 37 if the answer is yes, then your easiest path is to mix it with canned food. first give your hungry pet a small amount of canned food without the medication. its important that the pet nibbles (一点一点地吃) at the food and sees that theres nothing wrong. next, while the pet is still hungry, mix the medication in a small amount of food and present it. repeat as necessary to get the entire dose (剂量)down. 38 if the pet decides not to finish the meal, the dose will be wasted.if the chemist says the medication cannot be taken with food, you need a syringe (注射器) or a dropper (滴管) to get the liquid down your pets throat. 39 keep a cheerful tone in your voice so the pet doesnt sense your stress or hesitation. position your pet where it cannot run away, perhaps having a dog sit with his back against a wall or chair - or a cat on your lap. 40 use your other hand to insert the syringe or dropper between the cheek and back teeth. slowly squeeze the medication so the pet wont choke. try to keep your pets mouth closed for about 30 seconds until you see it has swallowed. if your pet is being obstinate (倔强的) , stroke (抚摸) its throat gently or blow on the face.be sure you end the process with praise and perhaps a treat so your pet will not associate medication with a bad experience.a. before you call your pet in, be sure to have the medication and any other materials youll need ready.b. once the pet is in position, use one hand to gently open the pets mouth from above, tilting(倾斜) back the head slightly.c. ask the vet(兽医) if the liquid medication can be given with food.d. you should know the reason why the pet refuses to take medicine.e. never mix the medication with the full meal.f. they just know it smells funny and they dont want it.g. dont force your pet to swallow all the medicine【答案】36.f37.c38.e39.a40.b【解析】试题分析: 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何对患病宠物进行药物治疗的问题。如果兽医认为可以把药物参杂食物一起喂食，那么要首先给宠物一点没有药的食物，然后把药物分几次少量地喂给宠物吃，以免把药物浪费掉。36.f考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。上文提到宠物像孩子一样不知道生病时候必须吃药，从选项内容判断f. 选项they just know it smells funny and they dont want it.(他们只知道闻起来味道有点古怪，他们不想吃。)可以承接上文，故选f。37.c考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空格后内容if the answer is yes, then your easiest path is to mix it with canned food(如果答复是肯定的，那么你最容易的办法就是把它和罐装食品参杂在一起。)可以判断上句提出了问题和食物，而在所有选项中c选项内容ask the vet if the liquid medication can be given with food.(问问兽医液体药物是否可以和食物一起给宠物吃)，符合语境，故选c。38.e考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。空前后内容都是介绍把药参杂到食物里喂宠物，而且后句提到宠物吃不完食物将会浪费了药，由此推断空上的句子是建议人们如何去做而不至于浪费药的内容，故选e。39.a考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。空后内容讲述如何把药物用注射器注射到宠物喉咙里，由此判断a选项内容before you call your pet in, be sure to have the medication and any other materials youll need ready.(在把宠物叫过来之前，确保准备好了药物和你需要的物品)符合语境，选a。40.b考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。在后句中use your other hand to insert the syringe or dropper between the cheek and back teeth.提到了“your other hand”,由此判断前句中会提到 “one hand”，故答案选b。考点：考查信息匹配第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分55分)第一节：完型填空(共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从4160各小题所给的四个选项a、b、c和d中，选出一个最佳答案。one
