It is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device，and yet it is one of the fastest and most powerful media tools．But think about it for a moment．On the Internet，a big online company can be run by two guys out of their garage．So it is only reasonable that people shopping on the Net would be a little leery of the security levels．

Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual(虛擬) shopping off the ground，and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop online．

Credit card companies，too，quickly saw the potential for Internet shopping，and have installed things like online shopping insurance for people．If you ever have a problem with your online credit purchases，many credit card companies will happily refund(返還) your money and then set their claws on the company that wronged you．Now that’s buying power！

There are other bonuses for online shoppers，of course．No line-ups，for one．No annoying mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won’t get them what they want．

When shopping online，consumers can sit down，have a coffee，and wear their slippers，not have to worry about their hair or parking and just click through sale after sale．Comparison shopping couldn’t be any easier．And thanks to courier companies（速遞公司）getting in on the act，you never need wait longer than a day or two to get those all important purchases delivered right to your door．

No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional advertising and instead looking to the “virtual” world to attract online shoppers．

1.The underlined word “l(fā)eery” means__________．

A． satisfied B． distrustful

C． hopeful D． sad

2.________leads to consumers’ trust in online shopping．

A． Shopping law

B． Shopping convenience

C． Internet access

D． Shopping security

3.Which group of words would the writer use to describe current Internet shopping？

A． Adventurous，enjoyable，fast，unreal

B． Unsafe，cheap，slow，convenient

C． Reliable，popular，convenient，slow

D． Safe，convenient，fast，comfortable

4.The following are thought to have made contributions to the popularity of online shopping EXCEPT_________．

A． internet companies

B． courier companies

C． advertising companies

D． credit card companies

1.She described all the things she had to do--?one was to make her bed--?from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work．I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks．She was shocked，probably thinking I'd been raised by wolves in a forest．2.

Two weeks later she went into my office beaming．She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years ?and nothing bad had happened．“And you know what？”she said．“I don't dry my dishes anymore，either．”

3.One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before．The other was giving herself permission to be less than perfect．This story shows an important principle (原理) about managing time：No one can do it all．Each of us has to make choices and accept trade?offs．The problem is，many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last．They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves4.

So what is the solution？There's an easy way．Decide what you want in your life，and put that first．On a daily basis，that should include regular meals，enough sleep and time with your family．Exercise，leisure，friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life．5.The choice is yours：whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life．Take a nap．Take a walk．Take time to play the piano．Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office．Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers ．Fill more of your time with want?to?dos instead of have?to?dos．

Published March 30, 2011）Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity might have a few mistakes—and Jake Barnett has set out to prove it．Between attending college classes at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and tutoring his fellow students, Jake is also working on a new theory about the creation of the universe．He happens to be 12 years old．

From an early age, Jake showed an extraordinary interest in stars．When he was 3, his parents took him to a space observatory．He tried to learn as much as he could about astronomy．Jake’s IQ measured remarkably high at 170．

As a baby, Jake was found out with Asperser’s syndrome, a form of autism (孤獨癥)．Autism causes difficulties in communication and social abilities．People with autism may also have strong interests—like Jake’s interest in the stars at a young age．

The symptoms of autism can range from mild to extremely severe．Asperser’s is one of the milder forms of autism．Sometimes people with Asperser’s, like Jake, develop extremely advanced skills in science, music or art．

When Jake was in elementary school, his parents worried that the effects of his Asperser’s were worsening．He became quiet．And he was withdrawing from people．So a doctor recommended that Jake’s parents let him study more advanced subjects, like math and physics．

Jake’s mother asked an astronomy professor to let Jake sit in on his class．Now, Jake studies advanced sciences like electromagnetic physics at IUPUI．

But Jake thinks it’s important to have a normal life too．He likes to play Guitar Hero with his friends and watch science fiction movies．He also enjoys playing classical music on the piano．But for Jake, studying physics is the most important thing．Jake’s professor, John Ross, is working on getting a large sum of money for him to do research at the university．

Doctors have said Jake’s autism symptoms have lessened over time．Still, Jake proudly refers to himself as an “Aspy”, or someone with Asperser’s．In an interview with his university student newspaper, he said, “I think the autism is the reason I’m even at IUPUI．”

1.What did Jake want to do at IUPUI?

A． Get a degree in astronomy．

B． Put forward his own theory in physics．

C． Become an Albert Einstein in the future．

D． Teach his fellow students Theory of Relativity．

2.Which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to Jake?

b． He began to study math and physics．

d． He was found out with a mild form of autism．

A． b-d-c-a

B． d-b-c-a

C． b-a-c-d

D． d-c-b-a

3.The underlined sentence in the passage means ______．

A． he was unable to help others

C． he was afraid of seeing other people

科目：高中英語 來源：2016屆黑龍江雙鴨山第一中學高三上學期12月月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Eleven-year-old Evan Green doesn’t want to save just one tree－h(huán)e wants to save a whole rainforest!

In the Redwood City, Calif, a boy started a group called the Red Dragon Conservation Team four years ago to do just that. So far, the team’s members have raised $4,500. That’s enough to purchase and protect more than 16 acres of rainforest in Costa Rica through the Center for Ecosystem survival.

Every year, thousands of square miles of rainforest are destroyed worldwide. Logging and farming are mostly likely to blame, scientists say. The loss is terrible news for animals and people. Even though rainforests cover less than 2 percent of the earth, they are home to half the world’s plants and animals. Rainforests also provide water and help control the earth’s climate.

Evan’s work to save the rainforests recently earned him a Barron prize for Young Heroes. The prizes are given to children or teenagers who have made a positive difference in the world. Evan’s goal is “to save enough rainforests to last forever”. He won’t have to do it alone. His actions have already inspired other kids to chip in. One girl asked for donations instead of presents on her birthday. She raised $850. Other kids are starting their own conservation teams.

Evan says everyone can help the planet－even by taking small steps such as recycling. He and his family try to make a difference every day. “We recycle, we try to limit our garbage… we’ve been walking a little more, and we buy local food,” Evan said.

1.Evan started the group _______.

A. to help the poor B. to make himself well-known

C. to win the Barron prize D. to save the rainforest

2.How much does it cost to buy and protect an acre of rainforest in Costa Rica?

A. About $4,500. B. About $850.

C. About $1,000. D. About $280.

3.What Evan said in the last paragraph suggests that _________.

A. actions speak louder than words

B. we can all do something to protect the earth

C. we should learn to recycle from now on

D. a good beginning makes a good ending

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Evan Green－a famous teenager

B. The Red Dragon Conservation Team

C. Boy gathers support for rainforests

D. Rainforests are being destroyed

Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or the other, you’ll have to stand up and say—problem, I don’t want you in my life.

_1.__.Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children—the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in

different shapes, colors and feelings.

But good news is that all problems can be dealt with. Now read on how to solve your problems.

Talk about your problems. What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that

no talking is going to help. __2._ Talking helps you move on and let go.

Write your problems. __3.__ When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.

Don't lose faith and hope. No matter what you lose in life, don’t lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your

money, family…you should still have faith. __4.__

Your problems aren’t the worst. No matter what problem you get in life, there’re another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. __5.__ Your problems might just seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed.

Go about and solve your problems because every problem，however big or small，always has away out.

A. But the truth is that when you talk about it, you’re setting free the negative energies that have been gathering within you.

B. When we have a pressing, critical, urgent, and life-threatening problem, how do we try to solve it.

C. Tell yourself: when they can deal with them, why can't I?

D. Of course, we’ve been fighting troubles ever since we were born.

E. We can often overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.

F. Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you don't want a real person to talk with.

G. With faith and hope, you can rebuild everything that you lose.
