When I was young, my mother encouraged me to develop and keep friendship with boys in order to build strong relationships. But she told me not to risk a good friendship with a boy with the title of boyfriend. Its indeed a wise choice to stay friends with those of the opposite sex. In my opinion, even though some high school relationship might continue after graduation, the probability of them lasting much longer is so slim that there really is not a point to it. Firstly, you have to think about such a questionwhether it is possible to hurt both of you, or even hurt both of your future husbands or wives. My second point is that you still can date if you hope marriage could possibly follow. Except this, there really is not any other reason for dating. Some students desire relationships for a chance to be romantic. While these are nice to have, there are many more important things at this point in our lives. The titles of boyfriend and girlfriend put too much stress on a relationship between high school students. Just staying as common friends may be the best choice for us. I strongly recommend we should deal with it in an appropriate way and follow our teachers advice if necessary. 21. The author writes this passage probably for _ to read. A. high school studentsB. school teachersC. parents and teachersD. married couples22. Between sexes, the relationship of being good friends might be _ than that of being boy/girlfriends. A. weakerB. saferC. slimmerD. stronger23. How does the writer like the idea of dating among the students? A. Dating is a nice chance for students to be romantic. B. Studying is far more important than dating in school. C. In high school dating can surely lead to future marriage. D. Dating in high school is sure to hurt your future family. 24. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph might refer to _ . A. the title of boyfriend or girlfriend at schoolB. advice given by both teachers and parentsC. the pressure from school lessons and sportsD. the relationship between students of opposite sexes25. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to properly deal with the relationships among high school students. B. Making more friends in high school is good. C. Thinking about marriage in high school is unusual. D. How to properly deal with the relationships between students and teachers. (B)2011无锡模拟No budget for your vacation? Try home exchangesswapping houses with strangers. Agree to use each others cars, and you can save dollars on car rentals (租赁费), too. Home exchanges are not new. At least one group, Intervac, has been facilitating such an arrangement since 1953. But trading online is gaining popularity these days, with several sites in operation, including HomeExchanges. Founded in 1992, with some 28, 000 listings, this company bills itself as the worlds largest home exchange club, reporting that membership has increased 30% this year. The annual fee is usually less than $100. Members can access thousands of listings for apartments, villas, suburban homes and farms around the world. Initial contact is made via e-mail, with subsequent communication usually by phone. Before a match is made, potential swappers tend to discuss a lot. However, the concept may sound risky to some people. What about theft? Damage? These are reasonable causes for concern, but equally unlikely. As one swapper puts it, “Nobody is going to fly across the ocean or drive 600 miles to come to steal your TV. Besides, at the same time theyre staying in your home, you are staying in their home. ”Exchange sites recommend that swappers discuss such matters ahead of time. They may fill out an agreement spelling out who shoulders which responsibilities if a problem arises. It does not matter if the agreement would hold up in court, but it does give the exchangers a little satisfaction. Generally, the biggest complaint among home exchangers has to do with different standards of cleanliness. Swappers are supposed to make sure their home is in order before they depart, but one persons idea of “clean” may be more forgiving than anothers. Some owners say if they come back to a less-than-sparkling kitchen, it may be inconvenient but would not sour them on future exchanges. 26. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. How to exchange homes. B. How home exchange is becoming popular. C. The biggest home exchange agency Intervac. D. A contrast between Intervac and Home Exchanges. 27. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “bills” in the second paragraph? A. advertisesB. dedicatesC. replacesD. participates28. How do home exchangers normally begin their communication? A. By phone. B. By e-mail. C. Via a matchmaker. D. Via a face-to-face meeting. 29. What is recommended in the passage to deal with theft and damage concerns? A. One can file a lawsuit in court. B. Both parties can trade online. C. Both parties can sign an agreement beforehand. D. One can damage the home of the other party in return. 30. From the passage, we can infer that _ . A. home exchanges online have been popular for a long timeB. members can access all listings in the home exchange clubC. there is no need to worry about theft in this clubD. the swappers homes are always in order before their depart(C)2011嘉兴模拟You can tell a lot about people from the clothes they wear, but you can also tell a lot about people simply from the handbags they carry. Its hard to believe, but you can find out a number of things about a womans personality just by looking at the type of handbag she sports. Below you will find a number of handbag styles and colors as well as what each specific type of handbag says about the owner. Styles: Under-the ShoulderHandbags which are smaller and fit tightly underneath the shoulder indicate class and sophistication. A woman working in an upscale office or someone of high stature would choose this form of handbag. Big and BulkyBig, bulky and oversized bags are casual and are often associated with younger individuals. These are used for individuals who carry a number of things (binders, books etc) and require a lot of space. Down-to-earth, lower-maintenance women would carry this type of handbag. DesignerDesigner handbags often cost an arm and a leg and therefore are usually associated with high-maintenance females. Females who are confident and require top of the line accessories will settle for nothing less than a name-brand designer purse. Guyswatch out for these girls, they tend to be a handful. Cigar Box PursesA woman who carries a cigar box purse likes to be unique and stand out from the crowd. These women have minds of their own and cannot be told what to do. They are comfortable in their own skin and tend to be very independent. Leather with Buckles and ZippersWomen who choose leather purses with lots of buckles and zippers are leashing out their wild sides. These women tend to act before they think and are always ready for a good time. The extra buckles and zippers tend to signify a “bad girl” image. Colors: Bright ColorsBright colored handbags like pink, purple, bright blue and green indicate that the woman is fun, friendly and approachable. Women who are out-going and sociable will tend to choose these colors. This is the type of woman who will strike up a conversation with a complete stranger. Black and BrownWomen who choose black or brown handbags tend to be more formal in manners and are often mistaken as being snobby or restricted. These types of handbags are often associated with down-to-earth women, who are shy at first, but open up after a while. They tend to exude a shy confidence, which is sometimes mistaken as someone who thinks shes better than others. The style and color of your handbag says a lot about you.

(D)2011宜春模拟The US researchers have found traces of an ancient lake on Mars recently, increasing hopes of discovering evidence that billions of years ago the Red planet hosted life. The lake, which dates back some 3. 4 billion years, appears to have covered as much as 80 square miles and is up to 1, 500 feet deep, said the team from the University of Colorado. “This is the first clear evidence of shorelines on the surface of Mars, ” said Boulders research associate, Gaetano Di Achille, in a study published in the latest edition of Geophysical Research Letters. “The identification of the shorelines and accompanying geological evidence allows us to calculate the size and volume of the lake, which appears to have formed about 3. 4 billion years ago. ”Analysis of the images has shown the water carved out the canyon (溪谷) in which it was found, which then opened out into a valley depositing (使淤积) sediment (沉积) which formed a delta (三角洲). “Finding shorelines is a great discovery to us, ” said assistant professor Brian Hynek, adding it showed the lake existed at a time when Mars was thought to have been cold and dry. Scientists believe the oldest surfaces on Mars formed during the wet and warm era known as the Noachan epoch, about 4. 1 billion to 3. 7 billion years ago. The newly discovered lake is believed to date from the Hesperian era and postdates the end of the warm and wet period on Mars by 300 million years, according to the study. Scientists believe deltas next to the lake may well hold secrets about past life on Mars as such places on Earth have become the natural deposits of organic carbon and other markers of life. 36. The size of the lake found on Mars is _ . A. 80 square milesB. 1, 500 square miles C. 3. 4 billion square milesD. 300 million square miles37. When the lake existed, the weather on Mars was _ . A. hot and wetB. wet and warmC. cold and dryD. cold and wet38. Why do scientists think deltas near the lake may hold secrets about past life on Mars? A. Because similar places on Earth have become natural deposits of markers of life. B. Because someone has put secrets about past life on Mars there. C. Because past life has been found in other deltas on Mars. D. Because some people are said to have already seen life markers there. 39. How many researchers does the passage mention? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 40. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. The Noachan epoch was a wet and warm era. B. The lake might have existed 3. 4 billion years. C. The discovery cant fully prove that the Mars once hosted life. D. The lake traces prove that there exists life on Mars now. 答案解析【文章大意】作者是一个志愿者，小的时候为母亲的朋友等人唱歌，后来在教堂为教众唱歌，而自己的一部分收入也捐了出去。作者还去附近的私人疗养院护理老人并为老人唱歌。在做志愿者的工作中，作者体会到了“爱”的真谛。1.【解析】选C。本文主要讲述“我”做志愿者的经历和对“爱”的思考。reflection反思，考虑，符合语境。tales（充满惊险的但不一定真实的）故事；feeling感觉；action行动。2.【解析】选A。根据上下文，此处表示“像”你一样的人们。3.【解析】选D。从下文可知，此处表示作者给他人唱歌或表演诗歌，故应该选用performing。4.【解析】选B。从下文看，此处表示“我”开始从事志愿者活动，故选用volunteered。5.【解析】选C。此处文意为“我”由过去给母亲的朋友唱歌，慢慢地转向给别人或其他组织或团体唱歌。used to do表示“过去习惯/常常”。6.【解析】选A。charity gala表示“义演”，从搭配角度考虑，此处使用put on（上演）。7.【解析】选D。四个选项均可与in搭配，从意义上看使用production。in production表示“在生产中”，意即还未出版。in place在位；in practice在实践中；in use在使用中。8.【解析】选B。此处表示“我”把卖书得来的资金全部捐给儿童慈善机构。9.【解析】选D。war战争；fight打斗，打架；battle战役。此处campaign意为“(为社会、商业或政治目的而进行的一系列有计划的)运动”，符合语境。10.【解析】选A。根据后面的abused知此处选用shelter，表示为受到虐待的儿童找到一个收容所(庇护所)。11.【解析】选C。从13空后面的一句 I visit them and sing for them. 可以推断此处使用visit。12.【解析】选B。do ones hair表示“梳头，整理头发”。13.【解析】选B。根据hospice和15空后面的sick可知此处使用patients。14.【解析】选A。fulfilling表示“让人感觉有意义的；令人满足的；有成就感的”。根据后面的Ive done these theres a smile on that persons face知，作者对自己做的事情感到很满意，故fulfilling符合语境。15.【解析】选D。根据hospice和15空后面的sick可知此处使用dying，表示一些即将离世的或危重的病人。16.【解析】选C。此处表示一些危重病人的情况，根据前面的sick可知，此处使用aware，表示对外界发生的事情没有多少意识的病人。17.【解析】选C。前面提到病人的情况很不好，此处使用but表示转折，“我”给他们唱完歌以后，他们的脸上露出了微笑。18.【解析】选A。分析句子成分可以看出，此处使用what引导一个表语从句，what在从句中作wants的宾语。19.【解析】选B。根据前面的 I find that everyone needs love, everyone can give love可知，此处表示作者把love比喻成一个“链条”，总有人不断地付出爱，这种方式会持续下去。20.【解析】选D。endless无休止的，无穷尽的；temporary临时的，暂时的；contemporary当代的，同时代的；ageless青春永驻的，永恒的。根据前面的 You change when you get older可以推知，此处文意为随着时间推移爱是永恒的，所以选D。【文章大意】在很多高中生关注“谁喜欢谁及同学之间不同的关系”的时候，“我”选择学习和运动。“我”认为同学间保持普通朋友关系是最好的。21.【解析】选A。细节理解题。文章第一段提到“While most high school students spend most of their time. . . ”，再结合最后一段可知，文章的写作对象是high school students。故A项符合题意。22.【解析】选D。细节理解题。文中第二段提到“the probability of them lasting much longer is so slim that there really is not a point to it”，由此可知在高中发展男女朋友关系是不会长久的，即普通朋友关系比男女朋友关系能更持久、更稳固。23.【解析】选B。推理判断题。文中倒数第二段提到“While these are nice to have，there are many more important things at this point in our lives”，作者认为此时还有更重要的事情去做，比如学习。24.【解析】选D。词义猜测题。根据文章的主要意思可知此处讲的是我们要用恰当的方式来处理与异性之间的关系并遵循老师的建议。因此D项符合题意。25.【解析】选A。主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了如何处理同学之间关系的问题，作者着重指出同学间保持普通朋友关系是最好的。【文章大意】文章论述了假期时人们为了减少开支，相互签订协议交换房子住的事。26.【解析】选B。主旨大意题。第二段主要讲述了“交换房子住”这种现象是如何越来越流行的。27.【解析】选A。词义猜测题。由下文的as the worlds largest home exchange club可知bill在此表示“广告”。 dedicate献身；replace替换；participate参加。28.【解析】选B。细节理解题。由文章第三段第三句Initial contact is made via e-mail, with subsequent communication usually by phone可知。29.【解析】选C。细节理解题。由文章第五段前两句. . . swappers discuss such matters ahead of time.
