阅读理解。     It"s not uncommon in America for a person to belong to some kind of volunteer group. Donating
one"s time and services is very much a part of the American way of life. Most charitable activities are
organized by churches and groups around the nation and even encouraged by the government. The
helping hand is extended to the poor, the homeless and the disabled. Some people work to teach
youngsters how to read. others open up soup kitchens to feed the homeless. Volunteers also take care
of the disabled by making reading tapes for the blind and working in orphanages (孤儿院) to help
children without parents.
     High school students are often encouraged to become volunteers and many school club activities
center around volunteer services. Students may work with disabled children during a summer program,
or participate in a club activity which helps to bring meal to senior citizens who are shut-ins. With their
sense of idealism (理想主义) students are often eager to donate their spare time. They see such
activities as a way of becoming involved in the community and the adult-world. Social action for them
becomes as important as their academic studies.
     In a like manner, throughout the year, fund raising drives are also conducted by schools and
community groups to raise money for a worthy cause. They may respond to a recent earthquake in a
foreign country, a flood somewhere within their own, or another natural disaster which has left people
destitute and homeless. They may organize drives to collect food, clothing and medicines to serve an
immediate need. Today even the Halloween custom of "trick or treat" has become an occasion to collect
money for a charitable cause.
     This call to help those less fortunate than themselves arises from the humble origins of the American
nation. Those immigrants who were poor and downtrodden (受压迫的) became dependent on the
kindness of their neighbors to make a new life for themselves.
     American volunteers work throughout the world in less developed countries. They volunteer by
serving as a champion of goodwill both at home and abroad, which no doubt enriches both his life and
those whom he serves.1. Which of the following charitable activities is not mentioned in the passage?A. Some people open up soup kitchens to feed homeless people.
B. Some students bring meals to old people who can"t go out easily.
C. Some people collect money to help a foreign country with a recent earthquake.
D. Some students donate books to children in mountainous areas.2. Why are American high school students eager to do voluntary work?A. Because they want to participate in some social activities.
B. Because they want to go to better universities.
C. Because they can get higher scores at school.
D. Because they can realize their dream sooner.3.The underlined word "destitute" in Paragraph 4 probably means           .A. lifeless
B. penniless
C. useless
D. valueless4. American charitable activities started because           .A. Americans are always ready to share with others
B. Americans are mostly kind
C. poor immigrants needed help badly
D. poor Americans couldn"t live on without help5.What"s the best title of the passage?A. The Call from the Poor
B. Voluntary Work in the US
C. Ways to help the Poor
D. American Volunteers Around the World

阅读理解。     If women are mercilessly exploited (剥削) year after year, they have only themselves to blame.
Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are
always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a
few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a
woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing
sadly that she has nothing to wear.
     Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast
sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to
throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time changing the dresses they have. Skirts are
lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.
     No one can say that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion
designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用).They are
only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with
any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn"t at some
time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or carefully picking
her way through deep snow in high heeled shoes.
     When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious.
Do the constantly changing fashions of women"s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of
inconstancy (易变) and instability?Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers.
Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability?That is for you to
decide.1. How do designers and big stores take advantage of women?A. By mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry.
B. By attaching great importance to quality in women"s clothing.
C. By constantly changing the fashions in women"s clothing.
D. By producing large number of new clothes.2. To the writer, the fact that women change their old-fashioned dresses is seen as          .A. a waste of money
B. a waste of time
C. an expression of taste
D. an expression of creativity3. Perhaps the writer would not be so critical           .A. if fashion designers could pay attention to the comfort of clothing
B. if fashion industry could contribute more to society
C. if women took their safety and health in consideration
D. if women didn"t put up with any discomfort4. By saying "the conclusions to be drawn are obvious" in Paragraph 4 the writer means that        .A. women"s inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at
B. women are better able to put up with discomfort
C. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers
D. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion5. What"s the passage mainly about?A. Men are wiser than women in choosing clothes.
B. Women are taken advantage of because they always follow clothing fashions.
C. Women should be blamed for following clothing fashions.
D. Changing fashions have greatly contributed to social development.

Carnegie Mellon University.
   [2] Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and
loneliness than  those who logged on
less frequently, the two-year study showed. And it wasn"t that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Internet actually appeared to cause the bad feelings.
    [3]Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were       .They expected that the Internet would
prove socially healthier than television, since the Internet allows users to choose their information and to
communicate with others freely.
    [4]The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in
well-being. Faceless, bodiless "virtual" communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual
conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that
exposure to the wider world via the Internet makes users less satisfied with their lives.

     根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两
项为多余选项。     The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we"ve never
been before.
     But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed
when online.   1   imagine how you"d feel if you were in the other person"s shoes.
      For anything you"re about to send, ask yourself, "Would I say this to the person"s face?" If the answer
is no, rewrite and reread.   2   If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct ( 本能) is to fire
back in the same manner. But try not to do so.   3    if it was caused by a disagreement with another
member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of
others in the chat room.
         4     offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to
communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it"s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long
answer, be kind about it. If it"s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel
strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Have good manners yourself doesn"t give you license
to correct everyone else.   5   at the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and
apologize to those that you have offended.
     It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as age, sex, and marital status. Unless you know
the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don"t ask such
questions.  A. Everyone was new to the rietwork once
B. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake,  point it out politely
C. It"s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online
D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated

F. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear
G. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you"d feel comfortable saying words to a person"s face.
