B
Here are two letters in WORKWORRIES, a column in a newspaper:

Dear Ariel,
I got a job offer from a high-tech company with a fairly satisfactory paycheck and benefits．Even the work environment is cool．But I heard that the job requires a lot of overtime and even weekends．I know it's important for newcomers to work hard to get their feet planted firmly on the ground, but I'm scared of the idea of having nearly no free time．I still need to find a girlfriend．So, shall I accept the job or give it up for another one with much less pay and more freedom?
Amoretto
Dear Amoretto,
I have two things to say: First, you're lucky to have such an excellent offer, especially at a time when so many qualified people are struggling to find any work at all; and second, you can't figure out your work-life balance until you're actually working．
Take the job．You'll be learning, doing interesting things, working in a cool environment, and making money．If you're given a contract （合同）, make sure you understand the terms before you sign．Ask your boss how many hours a week you're expected to work．If they tell you a number that is much lower than what you find once you're working, you'll be in a better position to talk to them about it．
Give your work 100 percent．Work energetically and efficiently．If you're dedicated and focused, you might accomplish more than your co-workers in less time．Showing yourself to be a productive and talented worker for the beginning will give you more bargaining power．Finally, remember that taking a job doesn't have to be a life commitment．Try to give it at least a year （two is better）．If you're really miserable after that time, look for another job that will give you more freedom．By then, you'll have workplace experience, bosses and colleagues who can speak positively about your work and some savings．Good luck!
Ariel
60．From Amoretto's letter, we know that he __________.
A．has been working for a long time      B．is likely a green hand
C．expects to change his job                D．is quite satisfied with the job
61．How can a man arrange his work-life balance according to Ariel?
A．By taking a training course．              B．By asking people for advice．
C．By comparing with others．              D．Through his own work experience
62．All of the following are advised byArial EXCEPT__________.
A．understanding the terms before signing
B．working hard and efficiently
C．getting a better position                    
D．doing the job at least a year
63．What does Ariel advise to do in the reply?
A．Take the job offered．                     B．Give up and find a new job．
C．Depend on your feeling．                  D．Choose jobs with great care

科目：高中英語 來源：20102011浙江桐鄉(xiāng)一中高二上學(xué)期期中考試英語試題 題型：閱讀理解

Hawaii has planned to be the first U.S. state to roll out（正式推出）electric car stations statewide --- a move towards weaning the islands off oil.

Hawaii, which is far away from the U.S. mainland, imports foreign oil for almost 90 percent of its energy needs. One–third of that oil is used to power cars and buses on island streets. This move will help Hawaii meet its goal of reducing fossil fuel use by 70 percent by 2030.

Better Place, a Palo Alto, California-based company, will build the car recharging stations and provide recharged batteries for electric cars. The company will purchase renewable energy --- such as wind power --- from Hawaiian Electric Co.

Better Place picked Hawaii for the first statewide rollout in part because the islands are a contained environment, with few vehicles (車輛) coming in and out. Better Place would need to build a bigger network across several states to serve some mainland markets. Hawaii also has rich renewable energy resources, including wind, solar and wave power. This is important because Better Place won’t use oil. Better Place plans to recharge its batteries at night with power from Hawaii’s wind farms. That power normally goes unused because of Hawaii’s low nighttime energy needs.

Hawaii is an ideal place to show off Better Place technology because the state welcomes over five million tourists each year from the U.S. mainland, Japan, Canada and the rest of the world. “If we can get them into electric cars when they rent, we do two great things,” Shai Agassi, Better Place’s founder and chief executive officer, said. “One, we avoid emissions （排放物）; two, we use the opportunity to educate them, to teach them in Hawaii how it needs to be done in the rest of the world.”

However, Hawaii doesn’t expect to spend any money to improve the network. Maybe it needs to offer tax breaks or other ways to encourage people to buy electric vehicles when they are first offered.

1.

The underlined part “weaning the islands off oil” (in Para 1) probably means _________.

A. exploring the islands for oil           

B. stopping Hawaii’s dependence on oil gradually

C. importing more oil from other islands       

D. increasing the amount of oil used there

2.

 Why is Hawaii chosen to be the first state where car recharging stations will be built statewide? _________

①There are few cars in Hawaii.

②Hawaii can provide environmentally friendly energy.

③Plenty of oil has been found in Hawaii.

④Hawaii is separated from the mainland with few vehicles coming in and out.

A. ①, ③           B. ②, ③           C. ②, ④           D. ①, ④

3.

 When visitors to Hawaii rent electric cars, they _________.

A. will be taught it is necessary to do as Hawaiians do to protect the earth

B. will be offered tax breaks

C. need to be told what should be done before travelling

D. should be given the chance to try two things before driving

4.

We can infer from the passage that _________.

A. Better Place is a company producing electric cars

B. people are not encouraged to buy electric cars

C. electric cars will be recharged with power from renewable resources

D. Hawaii now has reduced the use oil by 90 percent

IV 閱讀理解（共 20小題；每小題 2分，滿分 40分）

閱讀下列短文，然后從各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C 和 D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

We all know, especially for me who like travelling very much, travelling can be a way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break----a week long school vacation in the United States. But what if you’re a student and don’t have enough money for a trip? Don’t worry. Here are some useful suggestions.

Save: this probably is the most important preparation for travelling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you’ll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.

Plant ahead: Don’t wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全) and saving.

Do your homework : No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.

Plan sensibly, Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.

Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences.

Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.

Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting act ivies and sights.

Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes: Remember to take medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.

Use the Internet: The Net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www.Travelocity.com. www.bargains-lowestfare.cm and www.Ecoomictravel.co

By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.

56.This passage is about______.

A. how to plan your travel              B. how to travel with enough money

C. how to make your travel interesting    D. how to get life experience

57. Before your trip , the first thing you should do is ____.

A. to make a plan for the route      B. to get information in the Internet

C. to save money by spending less   D. to buy tickets in advance

58.During your trip,_______.

A. you need more shoes than clothes     B. you shouldn’t look for work all the way

C. you can gain valuable life experience   D. you should forget to do your homework
