题目
题型:不详难度:来源:
I live in north Celebes which is near Philippines. Since early December 2010 most tropical regions have been frequently hit by rain. Just like my hometown, tropical regions only have two seasons, including the dry season that usually starts from April to September and the wet or rainy season which usually happens from October to March. But, it could be indeterminate. Sometimes the rainy season can come a month earlier or later. It can be prolonged even more than 4 months and so can the dry season. Even during the dry season, rain can occur several times in certain areas.
The prolonged dry season in tropical areas usually causes a lot of losses. It will be very harmful to local farmers, because most of the tropical areas sre regions of the developing countries. Sometimes agricultural and plantation crops will be damaged because of so much dry land and the fact that the river used to flow the water for rice fields are also dry. Rain is very important for plants because rain contains many nutrients that plants are in great need of.
What’s more, if the prolonged rainy season arrives and then floods usually occur in certain areas of low lands. Even for the capital city of Jakarta floods have struck several times during the prolonged rainy season. In addition to floods, the rainy season can cause many diseases. During the dry season, diseases are usually caused by mosquitoes such as dengue fever. While in the rainy season, people who have the weak immune will be more easily attacked by some diseases such as flu, fever, diarrhea, and much more.
If you live in the other places and want to travel to the tropical regions, make sure that you have known much about the season and the effect for these months in which you want to travel as tourists. Only in that way, can you at least prepare to deal with tropical weather.
小题1:The underlined word “indeterminate” in paragraph 1 can be replaced by “ _____”
A.uncertainB.unknownC.untrueD.unbelievable
小题2:The second paragraph mainly tells us something about _____.
A.the effects of the dry season.B.the benefits of the rainy season.
C.the growth of dry landD.the diseases in the dry season
小题3:We can learn from the passage that in the wet season, _____
A.the capital of Jakarta is flooded every year
B.more crops will die after being flooded for so long.
C.mosquitoes will spread more diseases among the crowd.
D.people with weak immune might be attacked by some diseases
小题4:The main purpose of this passage is to introduce _____.
A.some interesting facts of tropical regions
B.some knowledge about tropical regions to travelers
C.some knowledge about how to live well in different regions.
D.some differences between dry and wet seasons in tropical regions.

We will be working together to deliver nearly 40 different courses at other schools and likewise, students from other schools will study some subjects here.

题型:不详难度:| 查看答案
Maybe you’ve just invented something better than the iPhone or a solar-powered car. You don’t want anyone to steal your design. What should you do? Patent (申请专利) it! Patents are the best way to get credit for your work and help others continue advancing in that field. Here’s what you need to know.
A patent gives you the right to an invention. The patent protects its owner, which means the invention can’t be copied or sold without their agreement. In exchange, the owner must reveal information about the invention. This contributes knowledge that helps other inventors improve on their own research. A patent usually lasts about 20 years.
The first step to getting a patent is the application. The person applying must name the invention, explain its use and describe it clearly. The invention must be practical and contain some new characteristic — something that hasn’t been seen or used before. But not everything “new” can be patented. Many countries don’t allow patents on things like new concepts, scientific theories, medical procedures or substances already found in nature.
You may not be able to see patents, but they’re connected to nearly everything. There are patents on things you use every day, like plastic, medicine and your computer. There are patents on things that are unavailable on the market, too. Apple is well-known for its patents on potential products, such as the “iBike” or the “iKey”.
Of course there are also patents on inventions like this. Take the anti-eating face mask for example. This device locks around your head with a metal cage covering your mouth. You can breathe and speak, but you can’t eat!
Although many patented inventions can be failures, there’s plenty of room for success. So if you have a cool invention, try to patent it.
小题1:Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A.A patent can last for around 20 years.
B.Everything new can be patented.
C.Your invention is protected after you have applied for a patent.
D.Some patents are on the things that we use every day.
小题2:We can infer that Apple’s iBike is _____.
A.a popular productB.a mere new concept
C.a famous brand in the worldD.a practical bike on the market
小题3:The underlined word “device” in Paragraph 5 can best be replaced by “_____”.
A.weapon B.medicineC.equipment D.strength
小题4:The purpose of writing this passage is to _____.
A.advertise B.persuadeC.warnD.inform

My First Job
I was six when I joined my father and two elder brothers at sunrise in the fields of Eufaula. Okla.  36  the time I was eight I was helping Dad fix up old furniture. He gave me a cent for every nail I  37  out of old boards.
I got my first  38  job, at JM’s Restaurant in town, when I was 12. My main responsibilities (职责) were  39  tables and washing dishes,  40  sometimes I helped cook.
Every day after school I would  41  to JM’s and work until ten. Even on Saturdays I  42  from two until eleven. At that age it was difficult going to work and  43  my friends run off to swim or play. I didn’t necessarily like work, but I loved what working
  44  me to have. Because of my  45  I was always the one buying when my friends and I went to the local Taste Freeze. This made me  46  .
Word that I was trustworthy and hard-working  47  around town. A local clothing store offered me credit (赊帐)  48  I was only in seventh grade. I immediately  49  a $68 sports coat and a $22 pair of shoes. I was  50  only 65 cents an hour, and I already owed(欠) the storekeeper $90! So I learned  51  the danger of easy credit. I paid it  52  as soon as I could.
My first job taught me self-control, responsibility and brought me a  53  of personal satisfaction few of my friends had experienced. As my father,  54  worked three jobs, once told me, “If you  55  sacrifice (奉献) and responsibility, there are not many things in life you can’t have.”How right he was.

Memory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really make a self-effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.
  Sometimes you remember things that did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remembered locking it carefully the night before.
Memory “trick” works the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something, and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber(理发师) shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.
  We always seem to find something funny in incidents(小事) caused by people’s forgetfulness or absent-mindedness(心不在焉). Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never got tired of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when “trick” of our memory can cause us great trouble. (words: 169)
小题1:If you want to have a good memory, ________.
A.you should force yourself to remember things
B.you should make a self-effort of practice and exercise
C.you should never stop learning
D.you should try hard to remember things
小题2:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.One night the writer forgot to lock the front door.
B.One night the writer forgot having locked the front door.
C.The writer remembered to lock the door.
D.The writer remembered unlocking the front door.
小题3:From the sentence "We never get tired of hearing new ones", we can infer that______.
A.we enjoy hearing new stories about absent-mindedness of professors
B.we don’t want to know anything more about absent-mindedness of professors
C.we will never get rid of(摆脱) listening to new stories about absent-mindedness
D.absent-mindedness happens not only to professors but to many other people
