In the meanwhile,his friend,the sportsman,never let him out of
his sight-afraid,no doubt,that the doctor might take his departure,without saying a word to anybody.On this subject,he tried to discourage him with the most persuasive arguments,which,however,did NOT persuade Samuel Ferguson,and wasted his breath,by which the latter seemed to be but slightly moved.In fine,Dick felt that the doctor was slipping through his fingers.
The poor Scot was really to be pitied.He could not look upon the
blue sky without a wild terror: when asleep,he felt dizziness(眩晕)that made his head turn around;and every night he had visions of crashing down from immeasurable heights.
We must add that,during these nightmares,he once or twice fell out of bed. His first care then was to show Ferguson a severe bump(肿块)that he had received on the fall.“And yet,”he
would add,with warmth,“that was at the height of only three feet一not an inch more一and such a bump as this! Only think,then!”
This appeal,full of sad meaning as it was,did not seem to touch the doctor"s heart.Not even the shadow of a doubt was ever suggested;and Samuel made an intolerable misuse of the first person plural:“‘Our’balloon,‘our’ car ;‘our’expedition.”
Dick trembled at them,although he was determined not to go ; he did not want to annoy his friend.Let us also disclose the fact that,without knowing exactly why himself,he had sent to Edinburgh for a certain selection of heavy clothing,and his best hunting-tools and fire-arms.

试题分析: 《气球上的五星期》是法国著名作家儒勒·凡尔纳的第一部科幻长篇小说,也是他的成名作。讲的是十九世纪弗格森博士和他的朋友肯尼迪、他的仆人乔一起乘坐热气球,从非洲南部的桑给巴尔出发,穿越了非洲大陆,经历了千难万险,终于降落在塞内加尔河,从而完成了前人未曾完成的探险行程。
小题1:B 细节理解题。根据第一段提到Dr.Ferguson energetically pushed the preparations for his departure,and in person directed the construction of his balloon.For a long time past he had been applying himself to the study of the Arab language and the various Mandingoe idioms弗格森博士忙于出发前的准备工作。他亲自指导制作气球,并且对设计作了某些改动,不过他只字不提此事。很长时间以来,他专心学习阿拉伯语和非洲西部地区曼丁哥人的各种语言,可见是为离开做准备的,所以选B项。
小题2:C 细节理解题。根据第二段提到In the meanwhile,his friend,the sportsman,never let him out ofhis sight-afraid,no doubt,that the doctor might take his departure,without saying a word to anybody在此期间,他的猎人朋友寸步不离地跟着他,生怕他连招呼都不打就飞走。肯尼迪还在执意劝说弗格森博士放弃该计划所以选C项。
小题3:D 细节理解题。根据第五段提到This appeal,full of sad meaning as it was,did not seem to touch the doctor"s heart这番暗示充满了伤感,但是并没打动博士,所以博士十分坚定要用气球,故选D项。
小题4:B 推断猜测题。根据图片可知这是《气球上的五星期》是法国著名作家儒勒·凡尔纳的第一部科幻长篇小说,也是他的成名作,所以是科幻小说,故选D项。

举一反三
In most Asia societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the orient reflects society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments.
There are advantages and disadvantages of both systems of education. For example, one advantage of the system in Japan is that students there learn much more about math, physics, biology and chemistry than American students by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.
The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from school, they haven’t memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.
小题1:The writer’s purpose of writing this passage is .
A.to share his idea with others in a new way |
B.to introduce two different systems of education through contrast |
C.to criticize the society that values memorization |
D.to prepare students for society |
A.The system of education in the West is more creative than that in the East |
B.Japanese students learn much more about science than American students. |
C.Canadian students are more individual than Korean students. |
D.Students in North America are not so friendly as those in Asia. |
A.Asian students are more likely to do better in teamwork than American students |
B.Chinese students are more hard-working in their studies than Mexican students |
C.the Western educational system is much better than the Eastern educational system. |
D.the Eastern educational system is as difficult as the Western educational system. |
A.Advantages and Disadvantages of Educational System. |
B.The Value of Individualism. |
C.Educational System-an Obvious Difference between the East and the West. |
D.Memorization-an Important Learning Method. |
Showrooming is something I"ve done.I will go to a shop to see,touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock—down price.I"m not alone in doing this.Research by a company called Foolproof,found 24%of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013.
Amy Cashman,Head of Technology at TNS UK,says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that“people are lacking time,lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying.”She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around.
But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change.They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in—store discounts or free girls.
We mustn’t forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare.It’s good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by showrooming,you get the best of both worlds!

Invented a few years ago by students and seized upon by digital marketers, this festival for lonely hearts falls annually on the 11th day of the 11th month(since 1 is the loneliest number). It is like St Valentine"s Day, only worse. Singletons show each other with tender gifts: a barrage of pearls; a storm of sweets.
This November 11th they spent a surprising 19 billion yuan on Alibaba"s online platforms—a fourfold increase on a year ago, and more than double what Americans spent online last Cyber Monday(the Monday after Thanksgiving, when retailers urge Americans to shop online). About 100 million purchases were logged, accounting for 80% of the packages shipped that day. Couriers(快递员) were buried in parcels.
So life is good for China"s etailers. Then? Not exactly. The number of digital marketers is increasing and online sales are booming. Consumers are enjoying lower prices, better service and more variety. The problem? The pressure on profits in Chinese ecommerce is worse than in America, reckons Elinor Leung of CLSA, a broker. “Almost no one makes money,” she says.
The fiercest battles are being fought between online retailers and their bricksandmortar(实体的) rivals. Dangdang, a firm that resembles Amazon, and 360buy, another online retailer, have cut prices fiercely. Tencent, a cashrich online giant known for its instantmessaging software, is splashing out to win market share. 360buy has also just raised $400 millon from investors to do the same. But it is unclear how much longer such firms can burn through capital.

Las Vegas? It"s where halfprice flights are wide open and where reservations are easily booked on a moment"s notice. Tourism is down, so rooms are plentiful, as well as inexpensive.
Getting there: The best way to get there from McCarran Airport is to exit the baggage claim through Door 11 and check in at any number of shuttle booths. Shuttle vans that run between the airport and the Las Vegas Strip cost $6 for a oneway trip.
Leaving Las Vegas:Many Vegas vacationers are eager to get there and slow to leave. So take the “redeye” back home. Most redeye flights leave around midnight, leaving you with an extra night of gaming, and fun without added expense of a higher hotel charge. You can sleep the whole way home.
Romantic getaway: Las Vegas is no longer all about gaming. The artwork at the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art is certainly comparable to that at the Louvre. Speaking of Paris, take a trip up the Eiffel Tower at ParisLas Vegas. The Eiffel Tower Experience costs just $10($7 for kids) and is unquestionably worth the price of admission. For an intimate evening, don"t hesitate to book reservations at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant. Get an impressive nighttime view of the Fountains at Bellagio by asking for seating alongside the floortoceiling windows. This is truly a oneofakind finedining experience. Details:www.parislasvegas.com.
Be sure to wear comfortable shoes:Casinos(娱乐场) can appear very close together, but actually may not be. Know the tram systems that run up and down the Strip. Most tram lines are free.
Shows:Purchase show tickets at one of the many “Half Priced Show” booths on the Strip. You can experience a unique show each night of your stay. Need a look at what"s playing when you"ll be there? Visit www.booklasvegasshows.com.
Buffets:In Vegas you can take anything to the next level—including eating. Seven casinos on the Strip have teamed up to bring you an amazing deal:seven buffets—breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner—all for just $44.99 within a 24hour period. Details:www.harrahs.com/total/lasvegas/buffetofbuffets.

Of its 200 inhabited islands, which are spread across an area of 35,000 square miles, 99 are good resorts(度假胜地). So many tourists come every year, more than double the local population. Of these tourists, over 100,000 travel from the UK. The capital, Malé, is four times more densely populated than London. Given these facts, it"s hardly surprising that the Maldives has a waste disposal problem.
Years ago, when the tourists left, the government had to deal with a stream of rubbish. Their solution was to turn one of the islands into a dumping ground. Four miles west of Malé is the country"s dumping ground, Thilafushi. What you are seeing here is a view of the Maldives on which no honeymooners will ever clap eyes. Each visitor produces 3.5 kg of waste per day. The country dumps more than 330 tons of rubbish on the island every day.
Now, since many waste boats, fed up with waiting seven hours or more, directly offload their goods into the sea, the government of the Maldives has banned the dumping of waste on the island. So, the waste boats ship the rubbish to India instead.
小题1:What is the main cause of the waste disposal problem?
A.The big local population. |
B.Too many waste boats. |
C.The large number of tourists. |
D.Open fires on the islands. |
A.it"s quite similar to | B.it"s a long distance from |
C.it"s a loud shout from | D.it"s totally different from |
A.It is much more crowded in Malé than in London. |
B.Another island will be used as a dumping ground. |
C.No honeymooners are willing to visit the Maldives. |
D.Waste on islands will be offloaded directly into the sea. |
A.To attract more tourists to the Maldives. |
B.To state the waste disposal problem in the Maldives. |
C.To call on us to protect the environment. |
D.To explain the causes of pollution in the Maldives. |
