文档简介
1、In the early 1600s, a group known as the Separatists lived in England. They were people who wanted to worship God, study the Bible and pray, but the English laws did not allow then to worship as they desired. They were hunted down beaten, and locked up. Eventually, they heard about freedom of religi
2、on in Holland, and planned to escape. After much hardship, they were allowed to leave England. Now called Pilgrims, they lived in Holland for 12 years, but left because they couldnt stand the hard life, and couldnt work their own trades. They wanted to find a Kingdom of God for their posterity(后代)to
3、 practice religion freely. So they hired the Speedwell and Mayflower to carry them across the Atlantic to a new land in America. The Speedwell had many leaks and had to return back. The Mayflower took in their passengers, making a total of over 100. They sailed two months and three days, cramped and
4、 hungry. On November11,1620, the Mayflower spotted land. They landed in Province town, Massachusetts. For over a month, they sent to find the perfect place for them to build their colony. When they finally found a place, they called Plymouth. Right away they started building homes, knowing winter wa
5、s near. Unfortunately, a violent storm hit when the houses were not yet finished. The Pilgrims were forced to stay on the cramped(狭窄的)Mayflower for their first winter in the new world. When this winter was over, over half of them had died. The Pilgrims eventually made a good friend who helped them.
6、His name was Squanto. He showed them where fish swam, how to hunt deer, and how to plant corn. Squanto was a Native American who was kidnapped(绑架)earlier in his life and taken to England. This is why he was able to communicate with the Pilgrims. With the help of the Native Americans, there was plent
7、y for everyone to eat that first summer, and also plenty to last for the next winter. The Pilgrims had so much to be thankful for. They gave thanks for friends, new homes, freedom of religion, and plenty of food in a three-day celebration with their Native American friends. Today we continue the cel

14、0;B) Religious Freedom C) Early English settlements in American D) Hardships experienced by the Pilgrims Recently, one of my best friend Jennie, with whom I have&
15、#160;shared just about everything since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we have both al
16、ways looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other. Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night,&
17、#160;talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into
18、other self-destructive behavior. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see
19、;this guy because they didnt want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserver better, she didnt believe me. Her self-respect seemed
20、 to have disappeared. I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere. I just
21、 couldnt believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang with a bunch of losers, especially her boyfriend. By the time she left, I was really
22、160;worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so frustrating that I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe
23、60;we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship, but I didnt. I put the power of friendship to the ultimate test. Wed been friends for far to
24、o long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship co

36、 firm of aroma (香气) consultants, has been approached by Barclays Bank to develop suitable artificial smells for their banks. Researchers have suggested that surrounding customers with the “smell if money” will encourage them to feel relaxed and optimistic and give them added confidence in the banks
37、security and professionalism.But before a smell can be manufactured and introduced into banks air conditioning systems. It must be identified and chemically analyzed, and this has proved to be difficult. The problem is that banknotes-and coins tend to pick up the smell of their surroundings. So cash
38、 that has been sitting in a cash register at a fishmongers (鱼贩) will smell of fish, and banknotes used to pay for meals in restaurants will tend to smell of food.It may be a challenge, but aroma experts have little doubt that the use of artificial smells can be an effective form of subconscious adve
39、rtising. Lunn Poly, a British travel company, introduced the smell of coconuts (椰子) into its travel agencies and saw a big increase in spending by holiday makers. Many cafes now have electric dispensers (自动售货机) that release the smell of freshly roasted coffee near their entrances, subtly encouraging
40、 customers to come in and have a drink or snack. Even prestigious car maker Rolls-Royce has been spraying the inside of its cars to enhance the smell of the leather seats.“The sense of smell is probably the most basic and primitive of all human senses,” explains researcher Jim ORordan. “ There is a
41、direct pathway from the olfactory (嗅觉的) organs in the nose to the brain.” It is certainly true that most people find certain smells incredibly strong, stringing memories and feelings in a way that few other stimulants (刺激物) can rival. It is a phenomenon marketing consultants have long recognized, bu
42、t until recently have been unable to harness. “Weve made great progress but the technology of odour production is still in its infancy,” says ORiordan, “Who knows where it will take us.”31. Artificial smells have NOT been used in A cafes
43、 B banks C travel agencies D supermarkets 32. Researchers believe that introducing the “smell of money” into banks will encourage people A to sp
44、end money B to feel confident about banks C to earn more money D to withdraw money from banks 33. The difficulty of producing the “smell of money”&
45、#160;lies in that A peoples attitudes toward money are different B its hard to identify and analyze it C no technology can do it D e

48、C artificial smells are harmful D the production of artificial smells is profitably Choice, we are given to1 believe, is a right. In daily life, people have come
49、0;to expect endless situations about which they are required to make decisions one way or another. In the main2, these are just irksome moments at work which demand
50、some extra energy or brainpower, or during lunch breaks like choosing which type of coffee to order or indeed which coffee shop to go to. But sometimes selecting
51、0;one option as opposed to another can have serious or lifelong repercussions. More complex decision-making is then either avoided, postponed, or put into the hands of th
52、e army of professionals, Iifestyle coaches, lawyers, advisors, and the like. waiting to lighten the emotional burden for a fee2. But for a good many4 people in the
53、160;world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole syste
54、m is merely an illusion, created by companies and advertisers wanting to sell their wares5. The main impact of endless choice in people's lives is anxiety.
55、0;Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of consumer goods induces a sense of powerlessness, even paralysis,
56、60;in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away6, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted in order to solve the problem&
57、#160;and reduce the unease. Recent surveys in the United Kingdom have shown that a sizeable proportion of electrical goods bought per household are not really needed. The
58、 advertisers and the shareholders of the manufacturers are, nonetheless, satisfied. It is not just their availability that is the problem, but the speed with which
59、 new versions of products come on the market. Advances in design and production mean that new items are almost ready by the time that goods hit the shelves7.
60、60;Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The classic example is computers which a
61、re almost obsolete once they are bought. At first, there were only one or two available from a limited number of manufacturers, but now there are many companies
62、;all with not only their own products but different versions of the same machine. This makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk wit
63、h ease. into a shop and buy one thing8; no choice, no anxiety. The plethora of choice is not limited to consumer items. With the greater mobility of
64、;people around the world, people have more choice about where they want to live and work a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, nations migrated across huge
65、swathes of the earth in search of food, adventure, and more hospitable environments. Whole nations crossed continents and changed the face of history, So the mobility of&
66、#160;people is nothing new. The creation of nation states and borders9 effectively slowed this process down.36. Sometimes people ask professionals to help them make decisions
67、because A the decisions may have serious impact on their lives B only professionals have the right to do that C they have sufficient money
68、to pay Dthey have emotional problems 37. When people cannot easily decide what to buy, which of the following is the least possible choice? A Giving up &
69、#160; B Walking away C Buying an unsuitable item D Seeking advice 38. Why do products have a short lifespan nowadays? A They are of poor
70、60;quality. B They are quickly replaced with new ones. C They have too many versions. D They are not designed by computers. 39. How does
71、160;migration today differ from that of the past? A People now migrate to find better jobs. B People now migrate for better life. C People
72、now migrate for better environments. D People now have more choice about where to migrate. 40. Which of the following best expresses the writers view o
73、n choice? A Better more choice than no choice B Better no choice than more choice C All choice is easy D More choice, more anxi
74、ety 还有作文的话是青少年之自我反省 以自我为中心 被溺爱之类的 作文是在百度上找的 不保证正确率 而且如果大家都写一样 后果很严重 参考一下吧 The problem of spoiling children has been common these days. With the development of economy&
75、#160;and technology, the quality of life has become better and better. As a result, children today are experiencing more and more enjoyment. Their parents will give me
76、60;unlimited allowance to satisfy them so as to encourage their children to study harder. Consequently. children are turning in to "little princesses" and "little pr
77、inces" in today's society. This is definitely not the outcome we would love to see. Since children are going to be the future of our society, it is imp
78、ortant to train them to develop a sense of independence as well as responsiblity rather than laziness. Parents should realize the seriousness of this problem soon and
79、0;start to take actions to rescue their children. Otherwise, our society will eventually move towards a direction that everyone doesn't want to face.1 1 小汽车正在进入中国家庭
80、2 2 家用汽车的利和弊。Family Cars in China With the development of car industry and the improvement of the peoples living standard in China, more and more cars are goin
81、g into Chinese families. Some families have cars made in China, and others own cars imported from abroad. They drive them either to work or for holidays. Cars h
82、ave quite a number of advantages. It is very convenient to travel by cars, and this saves a lot of time. As a means of transportation easy to handle, famil
83、y cars can carry not only people, but also goods. They can go almost anywhere owing to their small size. Thats why more and more families are trying to buy
84、 them. However, just as a coin has two sides, cars also have some disadvantages. They cost the owners a lot of money for the fuel, insurance and maintenance;
85、60;they are responsible for air pollution; and whats more, car accidents kill hundreds of people each year and traffic jams happen very often. All these cause us man
86、y problems. Therefore, we should work out some ways to solve them. 第一单元1. Later this month, well spray the orchard, paint the barn, plant the garden and clean&
87、#160;the hen house before the new chicks arrive. (=这个月晚些时候,我们要给果树喷洒药水,要油漆谷仓,要给菜园播种,要赶在新的雏鸡运到之前清扫鸡舍。) 2. Im not making anywhere near as much money as I did when I was employed

91、中急剧增长。 (=And the number of single-parent homes has mushroomed in the last thirty years. ) 8. 这些孩子会不会失去童年时期应有的一些重要东西? (=Are these children missing out on an important part
92、;of childhood?) 第二单元1. Carters devotion to her ancestor is about more than personal pride: it is about family honor. (=卡特对其先辈的忠诚不仅仅关乎一己之骄傲,而且关乎家族荣誉。) 2. As the boat slid
