Home Alone 4

  Starring French Stewart , Mike Weinberg , Missi Pyle , Barbara Babcock , Jason Beghe , Claire Carey and Joanna Going.

  Christmas this year looks gloomy to Kevin. His parents have separated, and he decides without careful thinking to spend the holidays with his dad, Peter, and his dad's rich girlfriend, Natalie. Natalie lives in an unusual mansion- a “smart house” in which almost everything reacts to remote commands: doors open and close at will , the chandelier (吊燈) rises and lowers , a swinging bookcase leads to a secret bar , etc. . Even better , the serious butler (男管家) , Prescott , and sweet housekeeper, Molly, are at Kevin's beck and call. But just as Kevin settles into his wonderful surroundings , Peter and Natalie leave to pick up some royal houseguests at the airport , including an 11-year-old crown prince.

  In their absence , the snaky Marv and Vera break in , intending to kidnap (綁架) the crown prince. But they didn't realize they'd be facing off with Kevin instead and, while it may not be his house , he still has to protect it. With the help of the house's high-tech. magics , Kevin repeatedly prevents them by turning the tables ( and the swinging bookcases, shower jest and chandelier) on them. All the funny characters build to a cheerful Christmas Day result in which everyone gets into the action during an unexpected reunion between Kevin and his parents, Natalie and the royal family.

第三部分 閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)

Burns can be caused by fire, the sun, chemicals, heated objects or fluids, and electricity. They can be minor problems or life-threatening emergencies. Distinguishing a minor burn from a more serious burn involves determining the degree of damage to the tissues of the body. If you are not sure how serious the burn is, seek emergency medical help.

    First-degree burns are those in which only the outer layer of skin is burned. The skin is usually red and some swelling (腫大) and pain may occur. Unless the burn involves large portions of the body, it can be treated at home.

    Second-degree burns are those in which the first layer of skin has been burned through and the second layer of skin is also burned. In these burns, the skin reddens intensely and blisters (水泡) develop. Severe pain and swelling also occur. Second-degree burns require medical treatment.

    Third-degree burns are the most serious and involve all layers of skin. Fat, nerves, muscles, and even bones may be affected. Areas may be charred black or appear a dry white. If nerve damage is substantial, there may be no pain at all. These burns require emergency medical attention.

    Follow these steps when treating minor burns at home:

1) If the skin is not broken, run cool water over the burn for several minutes.

2) Cover the burn with a sterile (消過(guò)毒的) bandage or clean cloth.

3) Take aspirin to relieve any swelling or pain.

    Seek emergency treatment immediately for major burns. Before an emergency unit arrives, follow these steps:

1) Remove the person from the source of the burn (fire, electrical current, etc.).

2) If the person is not breathing, begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸) immediately.

3) Remove all clothing to stop further burning. If the clothing is stuck to the burn, do not attempt to remove it.

4) Cover the burned area with a cool, moist, sterile bandage or clean cloth. Do not place any creams, ointments (藥膏) or ice on the burned area or break blisters.

5) Monitor the patient for signs of shock, and treat accordingly.

1. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph probably means “______”.

A. They can be dangerous if you don’t treat them seriously

B. They range from slight burns to deadly ones

C. They seldom cause deaths even if not treated properly

D. They usually cause deaths if not treated properly

2. Burns are divided into different degrees according to _______.

A. what kind of treatment they need

B. what kind of tissue of the body is damaged

C. whether there is pain and what degree of pain there is

D. which layer of skin is burned

3. From the passage we learn that _______.

A. if there is severe pain, then you need medical treatment

B. first-degree burns don’t require medical treatment

C. burns without pains can be treated at home

D. the larger the swelling is, the more serious it is

4. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. you shouldn’t cover the burn with a bandage or cloth if it is severe

B. you shouldn’t move the person unless you know how to do first aid

C. you shouldn’t run cool water over the burn if the skin is broken

D. you shouldn’t place any wet towels on the burned area

5.where do you probably find the passage?

C.a book on first aid      D.a section about culture in the newspaper

 Texting in the street—your funeral

Millions of people are putting their lives at risk by texting their friends as they walk along busy streets, reported the Daily Mail.

One in ten  41  users has already been  42  because they are so lost in their phones that they fail to  43  lamp-posts or cars, according to Joanna Lumdsen of Aston University.

To test the danger of texting while  44  , Lumdsen did an experiment in which volunteers followed a  45  path while trying to  46  in a message on the phone.

Around them, screens  47  up instructions to avoid stepping on  48  colors on the floor.

She found that people missed one in five  49  because they were so busy with their phones.

“In  50  life this means that one in five lamp-posts or moving cars is  51

to go unnoticed by people  52  and walking,” she said.

Her research is looking for ways cell phone makers could improve the  53

of phones to make texting on the move  54  . That could  55  easier-to-use voice operated phones, or phones that respond to gestures.

“The safest thing is  56  people not to text while they walk along,” she said. “ 57  a lot of people in business are  58  to carry a mobile phone and be in  59  24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are under pressure to reply to calls  60  , and to respond to text messages and emails straight away.

13【題文】“Hurry, Mommy! Let’s go trick-or-treating!” My daughter waited by the door in her pink princess skirt while I prayed in the living room. Usually I liked taking her out on Halloween, but this year I was sad. I was worried about my mother, who was in China on vacation. I got a call that afternoon that she had slipped and fallen on the hard floor of her hotel and broken her leg. She was taken to a hospital in Beijing. Mom was nervous because she couldn’t understand any of the doctors. If only I could do something to help her!

I knew I couldn’t let my worries spoil my daughter’s fun. There was nothing I could do for Mom except pray, I thought. We left the house and went down the block. I was so upset that I hardly took notice of the kids around me. There came the man to whose son I’d once given piano lessons. “Hello there,” I said, greeting him and the boy at his side.

“Hello,” the father answered. “Having fun?”“I’m trying,” I said. “Why, what’s wrong?” he asked. I told him the whole story. “My mother, in China, broke her leg and didn’t understand any of the doctors. And I’m too far away to do anything!” I said.

He raised his eyebrows. “Beijing, you said?” he asked. I nodded. He smiled. “Believe it or not, my sister is a doctor at an English-speaking hospital there. If you want, I’ll make a call right away and we’ll try and get your mom transferred (轉(zhuǎn)移).”

A few days later I sat in the living room with my daughter as she finished the last of the candy. “Mommy, how far away is China?” she asked. “Not as far as I thought,” I said.

41.What did the author’s daughter want to do?

A.Pray with the author.

B.Enjoy herself outside.

C.Play a trick on her mom.

D.Go to the theatre to see a play.

42.What was the author’s mother worried about most?

A.She couldn’t get used to the life in Beijing.

B.She was hurt in the leg badly while travelling.

C.She was too old and weak to pray for her daughter.

D.She couldn’t make herself understood by the doctor.

43.The author hardly took notice of the kids around because _____ .

A.she was calling her mother

B.she felt very sad at that time

C.she was about to give a lesson

D.she couldn’t find her daughter

44. We can infer from the text that _____ .

B.the author would come to China to see her mother

C.the author was a famous music teacher in the town

D.the author’s daughter wanted to travel in China

14【題文】It is winter in many parts of the world. For some areas, that means snow. Maybe even lots of snow. If you don’t have to drive in it or remove it, snow can be very beautiful. When snow covers everything around you, the world looks like a “winter wonderland”. That is the name of a very popular song about winter. Richard Smith and Felix Bernard wrote the song back in 1934. There are hundreds of recordings of this happy song.

But winter is not always such a beautiful and happy time. It’s cold outside. You try hard to keep warm. The days are darker and shorter. The sun rarely shines. The leaves on the trees are brown. It isn’t surprising that some people are sad in winter. And some people dream about being somewhere else where it’s warm and pretty—like the state of California. The Mamas and the Papas recorded this famous song “California Dreaming”.

During the 1960s, many other famous rock groups released songs about winter. Here is a poetic song by Simon and Garfunkel called “A Hazy Shade of Winter”. They sing about life and hope and possibilities.

In 1968, the group Blood, Sweat and Tears recorded this gentle, sad song about winter. They sing about a lost love and forgotten memories in “Sometimes in Winter”.

In the early 1990s, Tori Amos wrote and recorded the beautiful song called “Winter”. She enjoyed singing about winter when she was a child.

Finally, on a happier note comes this song written and recorded by Fountains of Wayne in 2003. They sing about a snowstorm in a New England town. Nothing unusual there. But instead of being sad or tense about the snow, they write a song about it.

49. The underlined sentence “For some areas, that means snow.” probably means 

_____ .

A.In some areas, when it’s winter, it must snow

B.In some areas, it often snows in winter

C.In some areas, it’s important to snow

D.In some areas, people like snow in winter

50. According to the second paragraph, winter is _____ .

A.beautiful and happy

B.happy and warm

C.lovely and hopeful

D.cold and sad

51.Which of the songs can bring us hope of life?

A.Winter Wonderland.

B.California Dreaming.

C.A Hazy Shade of Winter.

D.Sometimes in Winter.

52.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.Winter in different areas.

B.Different ideas about winter.

C.Songs about winter.

D.Winter is cold but happy.

15【題文】A number of scientific studies have suggested that repeatedly heading a football could increase the risk of developing dementia (癡呆癥) in later life.

In 2002, former England international footballer Jeff Astle died aged 59. A coroner (驗(yàn)尸官) said that Astle died from a brain disease likely to have been caused by “repeated small damages to the brain” related to heading a heavy leather football.

Dr. Scott Delaney, research director of emergency medicine at McGill University Health Center in Montreal, Canada, has also researched soccer-related head injury and agrees that head-to-head or elbow-to-head blows are the real risk.

In 2007, Delaney carried out a study on footballers aged between 12 and 17 that showed they were half as likely to be concussed (使腦部受到震蕩) wearing headgear (帽) than without.

He said youngsters have a higher risk of head injury than adults because their heads are thinner and less able to absorb shock. To make matters worse, their neck muscles aren’t as well developed and they often lack the correct heading technique that can help throw away the force of the ball.

Delaney recommends that children wear headgear when playing football and says his two eldest children wear head protection playing the sport. But he admits that children can be unwilling to be the first to wear head protection—especially when their football heroes play without it.

While headgear can protect footballers from being concussed during a match, no one knows the long-term effects of repeated “sub-concussive” blows to the head.

Delaney says that while there is indirect evidence that a career in soccer can lead to dementia, no one has yet found a sure link between the two. He says proving a link would mean monitoring hundreds of footballers for three or four decades—and that would take a lot of funding.

57.Which might be the best title of the passage?

A.Playing football may lead to brain damage.

B.Repeated small damages to the brain.

C.Footballers should wear headgear when playing. .

D.Evidence to dementia.

58.According to Delaney’s research, what is the most risky injuries to head?

A.Long-term effects of blows.

B.Wearing head protection.

C.Underdeveloped neck muscles.

D.Head-to-head or elbow-to-head blows.

59. Children are unwilling to wear headgear because they think _____ .

A.headgear is harmful to their heads

B.headgear influences their skills

C.they should follow their idols

D.they mustn’t lead the fashion

60.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____ .

A.Delaney has studied dementia for three or four decades

B.few footballers would like to be studied in the research

C.funding is important in order to carry out the research.

D.no one can find the link between playing football and dementia

Are You Ready for College?

Before you send in your college applications, keep this in mind: it’s not the norm (準(zhǔn)則) in every culture for students to go to college right out of high school.

 65.  So if you find yourself applying for college simply because it’s the thing to do after high school, think again. Going to college right after high school may be the norm in your community, but it’s not the norm everywhere and it may not be the best decision for you.

 66.  Yes, higher education often gives young people a big advantage in the working world, but not always. A solid technical or business school application can give you an advantage as well, and if the environment seems like a better one for you than a traditional college campus, this might be your best choice. A lot of people lead successful lives with a high school education and years of work experience.

The price of a college or university education has become a serious burden for young people and their families.   67. In some cases, putting off college for a year or two while a student earns money full time can make sense.   68.  

  69.  Almost all students suffer from homesickness, but for some students, the transition may be too much to deal with.

A.Is going to college always the best choice for high school graduates?

B.Spend some time considering your choices before sending in your applications.

C.Besides, it’s quite possible that going to college is not the right choice for you.

D.During this time, the student can take a few inexpensive classes at a community college.

E. So students take massive amounts of loans, which can take decades to pay off.

F. Many young people have other choices, like military service, work experience,

community service or travel.

G. The transition from high school to college is an emotional challenge for almost everybody,

especially if you move away from home.

March 22, 2011   Tuesday                                       Sunny

Today is World Water Day.In the morning, we had a class meeting talking about what to do on this special day. Finally, we reached an agreement and immediately began to make preparations for the afternoon’s activities.

At 2:00 p.m., we went to the neighboring community to hand out leaflets, calling on people to save water. Around 3 o’clock, the expert we invited gave an excellent speech on the current water crisis in China. He talked about the drought in the Southwest and the severe shortage of water in our city. The speech had a strong appeal to all the people present, including me.

After the speech, we had a discussion with our neighbors about various ways of saving water in our daily life. I suggested turning off the water tap immediately after using it, and a granny came up with the ideas of reusing the water from kitchen, for example, the water after washing fruits and vegetables can be used to water flowers and so on.

Today, I have had a better understanding of the importance of saving water and really learnt a lot about saving water.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:浙江省期末題 題型:閱讀理解

閱讀理解
     Home exchanges are not new. At least one group, Intervac, has been making such an arrangement
easier since 1953. But trading online is gaining popularity these days, with several sites in operation,
including Home Exchanges. Founded in 1992, with about 28,000 listings, this company bills itself as the
world's largest home exchange club.
     The annual fee is usually less than US$100. Members can access thousands of sites for apartments,
cottages, urban homes and farms around the world. Original contact is made through e-mail, with the
following communication usually by phone. Before a match is made, potential swappers tend to discuss a
lot.
     However, the concept may sound risky to some people. What about theft? Damage? These are
reasonable causes for concern, but equally unlikely. As one swapper puts it, "Nobody is going to fly across the ocean or drive 600 miles to come to steal your TV. Besides, at the same time they're staying in your
home, you are staying in their home."
     Exchange sites recommend that swappers discuss such matters ahead of time. They may fill out an
agreement spelling out who shoulders which responsibilities if a problem arises. It does not matter if the
agreement would hold up in court, but it does give the exchangers a little satisfaction.
     Generally, the biggest complaint among home exchangers has to do with different standards of
cleanliness. Swappers are supposed to make sure their home is in order before they leave, but one
person's idea of "clean" may be more forgiving than another's. Some owners say if they come back to a
less-than-sparkling kitchen, it may be inconvenient but would not sour them on future exchanges.

C. through media                                                                        
D. by letter                                                                                
3. To deal with theft and damage concerns, exchange sites advise the swappers that ________.
A. one should ask a lawyer for some legal help                                              
B. both parties should stay in the swapper's home                                          
C. both parties should sign an agreement in advance                                          
D. one should damage the home of the other swapper in return

B. It is not necessary for the swappers to worry about household theft or damage.

D. A less-than-sparkling kitchen will prevent swappers from future exchanges.
