题材分类等知识点的理解。
[详细]举一反三
Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your choice of sport might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemical and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition .This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports．Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.
小题1:What do we know about golf from the passage?| A．It is not played in Portugal and Spain at all. | | B．It causes water shortages around the world. | | C．It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes. | | D．It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green. |
小题2:The author uses power walking as an example mainly because ________.| A．it is an outdoor sport | | B．it improves our health | | C．it uses fewer resources | | D．it is recommended by experts |
小题3:The author writes the passage to ________| A．show us the function of major sports | | B．encourage us to go in for green sports | | C．discuss the major influence of popular sports | | D．introduce different types of environment-friendly sports |

Imagine a classroom missing the one thing that’s long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing---paper. No notebooks, no textbooks, no test papers. Nor are there any pencils or pens, which always seems to run out of ink at the critical moment. A “paperless classroom” is what more and more schools are trying to achieve .
Students don’t do any handwriting in this class . Instead , they use palm size , or specially—designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student’s personal computer. Having computers also means that students use the Web. They can look up information on any subject they’re studying from maths to social science.
High school teacher Judy Herrell in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web to learn about the war in Afghanistan over one year ago. We could touch every side of the country through different sites from the forest to refugee camps, she said .“Using a book that’s three or four years old is impossible.”And exams can go on line too. At a high school in Tennessee, US, students take tests on their own computers. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own electronic grade book. A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school teacher Stephanie—Sorrell in Kentucky,US, said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to each student.
“Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers,”she said .But, with all this technology, there is always the risk that the machines will break down. So , in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hi—tech students.
小题1:What does the part of the last sentence in the first paragraph “run out of ink at the critical moment” mean ?| A．Pens may not write well at the critical moment. | | B．Pens get lost easily , so you may not find them at the critical moment. | | C．Pens may have little or no ink at the critical moment | | D．Pens use ink, while pencils don’t. |
小题2:The high school teacher, Judy Herrell, used the example of her class to show that ________.| A．the Web could take them everywhere | | B．the Web taught them a lot. | | C．the Web is a good tool for information. | | D．the Web , better than the textbooks ,can give the latest and comprehensive information. |
小题3:The paperless classroom will benefit _________ the most.| A．students | B．teachers | C．trees | D．computers |
小题4:What does the phrase in the last paragraph “break down ”mean ?| A．Break into pieces | B．Stop working | C．Fall down | D．Lose control |

A newspaper reporter’s job can be very interesting. He meets all types of people and lives quite a busy life. He is on the rush for news all the time, then after several years he may get a desk job, and life becomes a bit more settled. Let’s look at his work a little more closely. In a day he may have to interview the prime minister of a foreign country, and the next day he may be writing about a football match. Sometimes he may be so busy that he has hardly any time to sleep. And at other times he may go on for days looking out for news materials yet return empty-handed.
In the beginning, a reporter has to cover a very wide field. After the early years he becomes more specialized in his work. For example, he may finally be asked to write only on court cases or politics or sports. Some reporters may become so specialized that they are asked only to write on a special thing: horse racing, for example. In most newspaper houses there is at least one special racing correspondent. Some newspapers have book reviews. Their job is delightful. They read the latest book and then write reviews on the ones they like. Then there are those who write on films, so they get to see them even before they are shown in the cinema. How lucky, you would say!
A reporter’s job can also be very dangerous. A number of them have died rushing from one assignment to another, and if there is a flood or a riot(暴乱) they may get hurt or even be killed. Three years ago there was a reporter whose camera was smashed by a group of men, because they were angry with him for taking their picture. Dangerous or not, one thing is certain, and that is, their job is never dull!
小题1:What does the underlined phrase “on the rush” mean in the passage?| A．on the beach | B．on the spot | C．in a hurry | D．in no time |
小题2:Reporters who write on films are said to be lucky because they _____.| A．can see more film stars | | B．can see the films before most people see them in the cinema | | C．can pay less than other people | | D．can write anything they like |
小题3:A reporter’s work becomes dangerous when _____.| A．there is an interview with the prime minister | B．there is a football match | | C．he is seeing a horror film | D．there is a flood or a riot |
小题4:From the passage we can infer that, to be a good reporter, he must be all of the following except _____.| A．brave | B．quick in mind | C．strong | D．well-informed |

“When your mother criticizes you, you can look somewhere else and think about other things. Just pay no attention to her words. But remember: it’s a strong attitude, so it cannot be used 36 .You can use this skill only sometimes.” These words are from some cartoons 37 skills for children to 38 against their mothers.
“This is a book for 39 aged six to twelve who are always criticized by their 40 ”, and the cartoons, 41 by two 10-year-old girls, list over twenty 42 which children can use to deal with their mothers’ 43 ,such as crying, running away and so on. Each skill is described with interesting 44 and funny notes. The two girls’ creativity(创造力)amazed the adults.

And he said the cartoons weren’t 48 yet and that his daughter would continue with them when she was 49 .
The cartoons make people 50 the problems within Chinese family 51 , said an expert on family education. According to a survey of 104 children and their parents, as many as 51.9 percent of the children 52 being criticized by their mothers.
