Thanks to a combination of young businessmen, large numbers of university students and revitalization (新生) efforts by the local and national governments, today’s Nanjing has an           of youthful exuberance (繁茂) that would have been        only a few decades ago.     , the city, a booming city of 6.5 million on the banks of the Yangtze River some 185 miles west of Shanghai, bears         resemblance to the former capital of China that suffered the worst cruelty and violence of World War II.
    Nanjing has shown a remarkable capacity for reinvention during its 2,500-year history. And in recent years, the city has moved         its tragic past to become a vital engine of China’s economic growth, thanks         to its position in the middle of China’s prosperous eastern seaboard. Growth has also         thanks to improved ground transportation: A new bullet train linking Nanjing and Shanghai started service last year,         travel time between the cities from several hours to just 75 minutes, and a Beijing-Shanghai high-speed line is        to open later this year, with a stop in Nanjing. Within the city, two metro lines were built in the last few years; 15 more are planned to begin service by 2030.
Signs of Nanjing’s         wealth and optimism can be seen everywhere. In the heart of the downtown Xinjiekou district, a bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen,         the father of modern China, looks         over a busy        area.
There is perhaps no more         symbol of the city’s transformation than the Zifeng Tower, a 1,480-foot skyscraper that opened its doors last May.         offices, restaurants and an InterContinental hotel, the tower is the second-tallest building in China and billed as the seventh-tallest in the world.
Underlying all this development is a large Chinese and        student population — there are several major universities, plus a branch of Johns Hopkins’s international studies school. In fact, art and music         in all sorts of places.
On a larger        , local government officials and private investors are pushing the city as a rising center for contemporary art and architecture, hoping to attract         from the neon-bathed streets of its neighbor Shanghai.

Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person’s ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead a better way of doing things. All these, however, remains true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.
However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who missed the “good old days”, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to. The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or to see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication gadgets, such as mobile phones and ipads, people often do not take the effect to visit one another personally. A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse our selves or turn the other person off.
With efficiency also comes mass production. Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today. Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handcrafts(手工藝品) are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.
Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.
It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people’s attitude. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new “past” is created.
小題1:According to Paragraph 1, progress can benefit people when they are willing to _______.
A．live a better life
B．look for better methods
C．change ways of living
D．a(chǎn)ccept technology and advance steadily
小題2:The underlined word “gadgets” is closest in meaning to _______.
A．toolsB．messagesC．barriersD．skills
小題3:The author explains “efficiency comes with a price” by _______.
A．describing a processB．using examples
C．following time orderD．making classification
小題4:Compared with home-made handicrafts, machine made products _______.
A．lack great accuracyB．lack the personal touch
C．a(chǎn)re of high valueD．a(chǎn)re quite welcome
小題5:What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4?
A．It can destroy old traditions.
B．It can lead to social progress.
C．It can be used to correct mistakes.
D．It can be used to preserve old products.
小題6:What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A．Progress can suit the needs of daily life.
B．People review the past with great regret.
C．Technology should be introduced in a fixed way.
D．People’s attitude decides the use of technology.

You're rushing to work and a man ahead of you falls down on the sidewalk. Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people keep on walking.
"There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed," says a psychologist, "In order to take action, you have to work against them." Here are some common thoughts that stop you from helping.
●Why should I be the one? I'm probably not the most able person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance.
●What if he doesn't really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others.
●No one else looks concerned. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.
"If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and figure out the situation instead of walking on," says the psychologist. "Then retry to involve other people; you don't have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes it's just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, 'It looks like we should do something.' Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you."
小題1:Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others?
A．I'm not the very capable person.
B．It looks like we should do something.
C．No one else is concerned.
D．He doesn't really need my help.
小題2:In order to offer your timely help, you need to               .
A．go directly to the police station
B．get along well with the passers-by who spot the trouble
C．a(chǎn)sk others for help and call the police
D．work against the first thoughts that stop you from offering help
小題3:The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers                               .
A．to give others a handB．to be more able
C．to explain their inactionD．to evaluate the situation

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

In the Caucasus region of Russia, nearly 50 out of every 100,000 people live to celebrate their 100th birthday, and many don’t stop at 100! By comparison, in America only 3 people in 100,000 reach 100. But these Russian old people aren’t alone. The Pakistanis, who live high in the Himalaya Mountains, and the Ecuadorans of the Andes Mountains seem to share the secret of long life, too.
These people remain healthy in body and spirit despite the passage of time. While many older persons in industrial societies become weak and ill in their 60s and 70s, some Caucasians aged 100 to 140, work in the fields beside their great-great-grandchildren. Even the idea of aging is foreign to them. When asked “at what age does youth end?”most of these old people had no answer. Several replied, “Well, perhaps at age 80.”
What accounts for this ability to survive to such old age, and to survive so well？First of all, hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long-lived people. They begin their long days of physical labor as children and never seem to stop. For example, Mr . Rustam Mamedov is 142 years of age. His wife is 116 years old. They have been married for 90 years. Mr. Mamedov has no intention of retiring from his life as a farmer. “Why？What else would I do？”he asks. All these people get healthful rewards from the environment in which they work. They all come from mountainous regions. They live and work at elevations of 1,660 to 1,000 meters above sea level. The air has less oxygen and is pollution-free. This reduced-oxygen environment makes the heart and blood vessel(血管) system stronger.
Another factor that may contribute to the good health of these people is their isolation. To a great extent, they are separated from the pressures and worries of industrial society. Inherited factors also play some role. Most of the longest-lived people had parents and grandparents who also reached very old ages. Good family genes may, therefore, be one factor in living longer.
小題1:The example of Mr. and Mrs. Mamedov implies that some Caucasians aged 100 to 140 ____.
A．become weak and hopeless
B．a(chǎn)re too old to work in the fields
C．benefit from physical work
D．a(chǎn)re still working in the fields
小題2:What is the main way of life for all of these long-lived people?
A．Retiring from their lives as farmers.
B．Having been married for 90 years.
C．Hard physical work.
D．Having no intentions.
小題3:Which of the following factors isn’t helpful to people’s health and long life?
A．Clean mountain air.B．Daily hard work.
C．Good genesD．Stress and pressure.

Does Being Famous Drive You Crazy?
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔隊) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小報) publish thrilling stories about their privacy. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!
According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities — famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. In the end, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon of following celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice（正義）. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.
小題1:It can be learned from the passage that stars today _________.
A．spend too much on their public appearance
B．a(chǎn)re often misunderstood by the public
C．can no longer have their privacy protected
D．care little about how they have become famous
小題2:What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A．The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
B．Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
C．Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
D．Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
小題3:What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?
A．There are huge population of fans.
B．They get little support from society.
C．They get few good opportunities.
D．Many modern ways of getting news are being used.
小題4:What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?
A．Sincere.B．DoubtingC．Supporting. D．Disagreeing.

A job is more than a job，especially to the old. “It’s not the money that matters，but the sense of self-worth．”56-year-old Cbeng Wonlan said. So，every day Ms Cheng carries a bag of parcels，letters and documents and does her rounds in North Point. She’s a courier(快遞員)
Five years ago．Ms Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic. She had worked there for 30 years but was Jobless when the doctor migrated. It was difficult for her to find another job as a nurse. “People do not trust my ability when they learn how old I am，”she said. After two years of searching, she eventually found another nursing job. But then after two years，she quit Why?
‘My colleagues were young and they didn’t understand me because of my age. They often asked me ‘You are so old what are you working for? I was very unhappy” She said. So while the rest of her family left for work，she was left to lonely boredom at home .Then her neighbours told her about Employee’s Retraining Board(ERB)offering retraining courses for older people.

I’m afraid to grow old—we’re all afraid. In fact, the fear of growing old is so great that every aged person is an insult and a threat to the society. They remind us of our own death, that our body won’t always remain smooth and responsive, but will someday betray(背叛) us by aging. The ideal way to age would be to grow slowly invisible, gradually disappearing, without causing worry or discomfort to the young. In some ways that does happen. Sitting in a small park across from a nursing home one day, I noticed that the young mothers and their children gathered on one side, and the old people from the home on the other.
Whenever a youngster would run over to the “wrong” side, chasing a ball or just trying to cover all the available space, the old people would lean forward and smile. But before any communication could be established, the mother would come over, murmuring embarrassed apologies, and take her child back to the “young” side.
Now, it seemed to me that the children didn’t feel any particular fear and the old people didn’t seem to be threatened by the children. The division of space was drawn by the mothers. And the mothers never looked at the old people who lined the other side of the park. These well-dressed young women had a way of sliding their eyes over, around, through the old people; they never looked at them directly. The old people may as well have been invisible; they offended the aesthetic eye of the mothers.
My early experiences were somewhat different; since I grew up in a small town, my children had more of a nineteenth-century flavor. I knew a lot of old people, and considered some of them friends.
小題1:People are afraid of growing old because it is usually associated with ______.
A．insultB．threatC．deathD．betrayal
小題2:In the author’s opinion, it is a perfect way to ______.
A．grow old slowly and then die unnoticed
B．grow old suddenly and then die
C．shut oneself up from others when growing old
D．remain young all one’s life and then die suddenly
小題3:It can be inferred that young mothers would try to keep their children away from the old because ______.
A．they feared their children might hurt the old
B．they didn’t like their children to take up the space belonging to the old
C．they felt it was wrong to play balls near where the old stayed
D．they didn’t want their children to have anything to do with the old
小題4:The author believes the division between the old and the young is _____.
A．made by peopleB．understandable
C．formed naturallyD．traditional
小題5:From the passage, we learn that the author ______.
A．used to have the same experience as the young have today
B．has never been afraid of getting old
C．was quite free to know and befriend old people in his childhood

A father in Wuhan, nicknamed "Eagle Dad" for his controversial parenting style, has dismissed critics' claims that he pushes his 4-year-old son too hard.
Police officer Wang Shaoyan came under the spotlight this month after his child took part in an 18-kilometer race in the Hubei provincial capital.
Some parents attacked his methods of extreme physical training, while others reacted strongly to his admission that he regularly exposes the youngster to cold showers. "I just want my son to reach his full potential," Wang said, adding that 4-year-old son not only runs 3 km every day he also takes cold showers from time to time to strengthen his body's resistance and willpower.
"He has never taken any sick leave from kindergarten," he said proudly. However, some parents find his methods too extreme.
"I'm not sure a 4-year-old is prepared for such intense training," said Zhang Ruxia  a woman who gave birth to two boys in October in Tianjin. "You can have good intentions to train your child at an early age but you also have to consider whether he can take it." Wang responded by saying children are too young to make decisions, and it is up to parents to lead them on the right path.
"I read many materials before and the whole process is step-by-step without pushing or imposing on my son," Wang said. The father said he was not acting rashly but following a scientific way of education. He said the doubts about his methods reflect the declining standards of modern education.
"Many people in Japan give their children cold showers too ,and no one is fussing about it，" he said. The traditional way of education applied by most of his peers might not necessarily help bring the best out of a child he said.
Wang said in addition to the physical training, he has also laid out a detailed and particular program to strengthen the intelligence of the child. "I have hired some university students to expand his knowledge in natural sciences, while playing the video for English-language teaching as well," he said.
