Now I am sure that you know which schools are considered the best in the country. So I will tell you about which states I believe are the best to live in.
California is a nice state. Northern California specifically has very good weather. Los Angeles in southern California is another story though. Life in LA is full of excitement and fast, and sometimes—dangerous. As for me, I enjoyed the history and culture. The weather is not as perfect as California, but it is still quite nice. My favorite area of America is the Mid-west. Middle America, I think, is home to the true American sense of values. In addition, there are many good universities there.
Also, you need to think about your likes and dislikes and then research the various states. You like sunshine and hate snow? Then you probably won’t like the Midwest or even the Northeast. Open space, nature and peace and quiet? Then you should stay away from America’s larger cities. Are you interested in government? Then Washington D.C. is the only place for you. Whatever you decided put some thought into it. The place you live could be the difference between a great study abroad experience and a state of great suffering on earth.
小题1:From the first paragraph we can conclude that in the U.S.A. __________.
all colleges and universities lie in big cities
all colleges and universities lie in beautiful places
famous colleges and universities lie in nice places
famous colleges and universities may not lie in nice places
小题2:What should be considered first if you want to study in the U.S.A.?
A. The climate. B. The scenery. C. The study condition. D. The living condition.
小题3:If you study in Middle America, you can probably _______.
find the best universities
feel the real character of the nation
meet the most famous professors there
face more difficulty
小题4:From the last paragraph of this passage we can get to know that ________.
Washington is the largest city in the U.S.A.
Washington is the political center of the U.S.A.
you can’t find sunshine in the Midwest
you can’t find any universities out of big cities in the U.S.A.
答案
小题1:D
小题2:C
小题3:B
小题4:B
解析
小题1:本题考查对某一段落细节信息认定的能力。由第一段第二句“…the best places to live are not always home to the best schools”可知名校不一定座落在最好的地方。其他选项与文章信息不符。
小题2:本题考查根据短文内容对细节进行判断的能力。从文章中可以看出决定出国学习的因素很多：学校所处的地理位置，学校所侧重的科目及学校的学习环境等，所有的因素比较起来，学习环境应该是最重要的。
小题3:本题考查理解文章细节信息的能力。由第三段倒数第二句“Middle America, I think, is home to the true American sense of values.”可知美国人的价值观在美国中部地区有很强的代表性。其他三项缺乏原文的信息支持。
小题4:本题考查对某一段落细节信息认定的能力。由最后一段“Are you interested in government? Then Washington D.C. is the only place for you.” 可知Washington是政府所在地, 又根据常识可知,政府所在地一般为一个国家的政治中心，所以Washington 就是美国的政治中心。A项原文中未涉及；C，D项与原文信息不符。

They will study hotel management in Bavarian Hotel Management School for a year and then take up two-year practice in Germany. Upon graduation, they will also get diplomas (文凭) recognized internationally. During their two-year practice, they earn no less than 1 200 Deutsche Marks (德国马克) a month.
The program, organized by a company in Wuhan, aims at providing the city’s high school graduates with new job chances.
Applicants (申请者) must first pass an exam given by the German side and pay 180 000 yuan covering the three year’s study and living expenses in Germany. In spite of this, the program still attracted a lot of high school graduates and their parents. And applicants came in a continuous stream.
“The change for my child to go to college is small. What’s more, it’s not easy to find a job. We find the work-study program an equally good way out for him,” a parent said, “We don’t worry much about the high costs because the total income from the two-year-long practice will be quite enough to clear them.”

The group"s Dai Yun says e-waste is a global problem. "The electronic industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. The high speed of growth in this industry means more and more electronic products are being wasted and thrown away. If no one decides to retrieve the old products and process them properly, the electronic waste will sweep over the earth like the huge wave behind me and pollute the Earth seriously."
Greenpeace works out that 20 to 50 million tons of e-waste are produced globally each year. The components（部件）in many electronic products contain harmful chemicals that pollute ground water and the environment.
At present , the U.S. has no federal law for the disposal (处理) of e-waste although a few states have e-waste recycling programs in place, but there is no law. The U.S. exports much of its e-waste to third world countries, such as India and China, where workers took apart computers for valuable parts, hoping to sell them for money. But harmful wastes expert, Dr. Bakul Rao, says that"s a dangerous practice. "From now on, the recyclers are not very educated. All they know is they can retrieve copper or gold out of it. So, the easiest way to do that is leach (过滤) it out in an acid or burn it off to retrieve it. So, that"s where they don"t know how to deal with it, neither do they have any health systems in place. So, their exposure is more."
小题1:Which of the following is most likely not to be a form of e-waste?
| A．A mobile phone | B．A radio | C．An e-bike | D．A table |
| A．look into | B．take apart | C．get back | D．throw away |
| A．The U.S. has strict national laws for dealing with e-waste. |
| B．Third world countries import e-waste to get valuable parts, which is a safe and easy way to make money. |
| C．The way uneducated workers deal with old computers does great harm to the environment as well as to their own health. |
| D．More and more electronic waste is being wasted and thrown away mainly because of |
小题4:What is the purpose of writing the passage?
| A．To attract more people"s attention to e-waste. |
| B．To call on people not to throw away e-waste anywhere. |
| C．To tell people what e-waste is and how to deal with it well. |
| D．To warn people to break away from the electronic industry. |
| A．how to deal with e-waste properly |
| B．how to protect ourselves from harm by e-waste |
| C．How to slow down the development in the electronic industry |
| D．how to make full use of e-waste |
A single angry word has lost many a friend. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.” “Keep cool,” says George Herbert, “for fierceness makes error a fault.”
To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong your self. “Anger,” says Pythagoras, “bring with folly and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.
Self-control is man’s last greatest victory.
If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.
小题1:What does the reader learn from the first paragraph ?
The greatest victory for a man is to conquer everything except himself.
One’s moral freedom is based on the control of himself.
To control oneself is the most difficult in one’s life.
If a person is too stubborn, he will feel most shameful.
小题2:What is the correct interpretation of “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad”?
If the gods want to kill you, they make you crazy first.
If you always lose your temper, you will soon be finished.
If you cannot control yourself, you will become crazy.
If you are mad, you will be punished by the gods.
小题3:If a man lacks self-control, he lacks all of the following EXCEPT _________.
the very backbone and nerve of character
the patience and power to control himself
strong feelings
self-confidence
小题4: The author’s main purpose in writing this article is to ___________.
explain that self-control is the key to success
teach people how to control everything in order to make a great success
distinguish all kinds of self-control and suggest ways for keeping it
advise people not to lose temper so as to make and keep more friends
Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced in the meantime. A man who has not dad an opportunity to go swimming for years can 1 swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still 2 away. A mother who has not 3 the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.
One explanation is the law of over learning, which can be started as following: 4 we have learned something, additional learning increases the 5 of time we will remember it.
In childhood, we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and 6 ourselves of poems such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We not only learn but 7 .
The law of over learning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination, 8 it may result in a passing grade, is not a 9 way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over learning, 10 , is usually a good investment toward the future.

If you walk through the streets of any big city at six or seven in the morning, the chances are that you will see women hurrying along, pushing prams (婴儿推车). You may see more than one woman 1 on the same door and, as it opens, quickly kiss the child, 2 a package of nappies and hurry off down the street to clock on the early shift in an office, leaving their children to a child – minder – a woman who may be doing the job legally or illegally, well or badly. Brain Jackson, director of the Child – minding Researching Unit, and his colleagues have done a great deal of work in finding out 3 it means for a child to spend the first years of life in the care of a child – minder.
4 law, anyone who looks after a child for more than two hours a day and gets paid must be registered. 5 the punishment is a 6 pounds fine. Local authorities are responsible for the registration and supervision (监管) of minders. The regulations 6 adequate provision (保障) for fire, safety and health. Very few minders can 7 these. Yet, not many districts give financial assistance. “This means,” Brain Jackson says, “that when you have one registered minder tested and proved by the local authorities, you can be sure that you will get a dozen unregistered, illegal minders 8 .”
The researchers found themselves 9 into the role of private investigators when they conduct their 10 . Getting up early to do a “Dawn Watch” following mothers through cold, dark streets and nothing where they left their babies, Jackson says, was a long, slow process.
