Suppose, for example, that we wish to find out the height of the water-tower, AB, in a factory. We first of all go to where the water-tower is standing and measure a distance of, say, 25 feet from it. Then we take a stick, and stand it in the ground at the spot we have just marked.
Let us suppose the stick we are using is 4 feet in height. We now walk farther away from the water –tower in the same straight line as when we measured off the distance of 25 feet. We go from the water-tower until we come to point E, where with our head on the ground, we see the top of the stick and the top of the water-tower in the same height line---that is, the top of the stick just covers the highest part of the water-tower. Every schoolboy can work out the height of the water-tower now.
Suppose that the line CE is five feet. We know that the stick is 4 feet high and the distance BE is 30 feet. Thus, 5 is to 4 as 30 is to AB.
小题1:If we want to know how high a tall tree is,_______.
A. we have to climb up the tree
B. we have no way out
C. we must cut down the tree
D we needn’t climb up the tree
小题2: According to the passage, which of the following is correct?
小题3:It is clear from this that the problem can be settled by _________.
| A．a child |
| B．the boy who has little schooling |
| C．everyone |
| D．a girl at middle school |
| A．no tool is needed |
| B．Besides a stick, tape-measure (卷尺) or at least a ruler is necessary. |
| C．we have to use nothing but a stick |
| D．we have to prepare a set of expensive tools |
答案
小题1:D
小题2:A
小题3:D
小题4:C
解析
试题分析：文章交给读者一个简便的测量水塔的方法，不需要爬高，只需要一根树棍和一些中学的知识。
小题1:细节题：从第一段的句子：There is very simple way of measuring the height of a water-tower, which we cannot measure by climbing.可知要想测量大树的高度，不必要爬树，选D
小题2:细节题：从二三两段的描述，可知A是正确的。
小题3:细节题：从第三段的句子：Every schoolboy can work out the height of the water-tower now.可知学校的学生可以算出这个问题。选D
小题4:细节题：从第二段的句子：Then we take a stick, and stand it in the ground at the spot we have just marked.可知用这种测量方法只需要一个树棍。选C。
点评：做好阅读理解需要考生有较综合的知识和能力。上述短文内容较长，且描述较为复杂、抽象，若仅靠想象作答后面的题目势必非常困难，若将文章内容加以分析整理，使抽象的文字具体化，答案就一目了然了。

But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine(咖啡碱)in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee(IOC) has limited(限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.

Ncell, a branch company of Swedish phone giant TeliaSonera, said on Thursday it had set up a high-speed third-generation (3G) phone base station at an altitude of 5,200 metres in the Everest region.
“Today we made the world’s highest video call from Mount Everest base camp successfully. The coverage (覆盖范围) of the network will reach up to the peak of Mount Everest,” Ncell Nepal chief Pasi Koistinen told reporters in Kathmandu.
The installation (安装) will also help tens of thousands of tourists and hikers who visit the world’s highest mountain every year.
Climbers who reached its 8,848-metre peak previously depended on expensive satellite phones and a voice-only network set up by China Mobile in 2007 on the Chinese side of the mountain.
“This is a great milestone for mobile communications as the 3G high speed Internet will bring faster, more affordable telecommunication services from the world’s tallest mountain,” said Lars Nyberg, chief executive of TeliaSonera, which owns 80 percent of Ncell.
The 3G services will be fast enough to make video calls and use the Internet, said the company, which also claimed the world’s lowest 3G base at 1,400 metres below sea level in a mine in Europe.
Despite the installation in Mount Everest, telecom services cover less than one-third of the 28 million people of Nepal, one of the poorest countries in the world.
TeliaSonera said it planned to invest $ 100 million in the next year to ensure that mobile coverage increases to more than 90 per cent of the Himalayan nation’s population.
The 3G network on Mount Everest puts TeliaSonera ahead of state-controlled Nepal Telecom, Indian-owned United Telecom and China Mobile.
Around 3,000 people have climbed to the Everest summit since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first people to conquer the peak in 1953.
小题1:Who are most likely to benefit from the 3G services at Mount Everest?
| A．The telecom firm. | B．The local residents. |
| C．Travelers to Nepal. | D．Mount Everest explorers. |
| A．are fast and convenient | B．are a little expensive |
| C．can make voice-only calls | D．offer free emailing |
| A．80 percent of it is owned by Ncell |
| B．It belongs to Nepal Telecom. |
| C．It is in the charge of Pasi Koistinen |
| D．It provides services for Pasi Koistinen. |
| A．Telecommunication in Nepal |
| B．3G services reach Mt. Everest summit |
| C．TeliaSonera takes lead in communication |
| D．Good news for hikers and climbers |

My summer holidays had always been a 10 time. I spent hours playing basketball and swimming. I talked to my Mom while she tended her flowers. I 11 helping my Dad drag firewood for the winter. And every night I sat at a dinner table full of delicious food 12 with love while my family filled the room with the sound of sweet 13 . Now I found myself missing them 14 than ever.
Finally when my 15 were at their lowest, I heard a 16 at the door. I opened it and was 17 to see my parents standing there with big smiles to fill my 18 heart and a box full of food to feed my hungry friends. We spent the afternoon eating 19 , and just being together. It felt so good, and I felt so loved.
Victor Hugo wrote that, “The supreme happiness of life is the 20 that one is loved; loved for oneself, or better yet, loved despite oneself.” It was that gift of happiness that my parents gave me that afternoon and every day of my life.
