I hate nosy (爱管闲事的) neighbors and it’s very unlucky that I had one for myself. They moved in a couple of months back and although I never felt that they were a strange family, I’ve always hated the way they get “too close” to me, my house, my garden, and even my garbage cans.

One day, my neighbors were mowing their lawn (草坪). My garbage cans were near their lawn. For some strange reason, I found the wife looking through my garbage cans. I felt angry but since they were from a different culture, I thought that maybe it was “normal” from their ideas.

That afternoon, the couple knocked on my front door. When I opened, they gave me a plastic bag. Inside were my old daily bills, credit cards and bank statements, and an old birthday card that my old uncle sent. They said that they were returning them to me because these documents contained very private information that may be used by others.

I’ve heard of it before. I asked them how those documents can be used by others and they started telling me their very own experience, which forced them to leave their home and move next door to us. The wife told me that she never destroyed the bills. They also had a “nosy neighbor” who looked through their garbage cans which they actually thought was pretty strange. Little did they know that this “nosy neighbor” was collecting their personal information from their rubbish. Then all their money was taken out from the bank by their neighbor.

It was a very painful experience for all of them and they wanted to leave it all behind so they left. I was very thankful. They were not nosy neighbors. They simply didn’t want us to experience the same thing that they did.

1.A 2.C 3.D 【解析】把这些金币就下去 试题分析:本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者不喜欢爱管闲事的邻居,最后才发现他的邻居原来是不想让他们自己的痛苦经历再一次重现。 1.A 细节理解题 根据第二段“For some strange reason, I found the wife looking through my garbage cans. I felt angry……出于一些原因,我发现邻居的妻子在查看我的垃圾桶。我觉得很生气” 此处的garbage等同于答案的 rubbish . 所以答案是A。 2.C 细节理解题 根据第三段最后一句话“They said that they were returning them to me because these documents contained very private information that may be used by others. 他们说归还这个给我,是因为这些文件包含一些重要的个人信息,别人会利用这些信息” 所以答案是选C归还文件给作者。 3.D 推理判断题根据文章中的第一句话作者讨厌爱管闲事的邻居,但最后一段他说我很感谢。可以知道作者改变了对邻居的看法,所以答案选D。 【名师点睛】 阅读理解的解题方法有多个,就这篇文章我们就只点拨运用重现策略巧解细节理解题。希望同学们掌握。 所谓“重现”,就是指某一个单词或短语的同义、反义、上下义、同根词或原词在文中重复出现的现象。这种方法常用于解答完形填空,但用来解答阅读理解细节题也同样管用。 细节理解题的重现指的是:正确答案选项语句中的单词或短语与阅读材料中的单词或短语构成一种重复出现的关系。它同样可以分为:同义、反义、上下义、同根词或原词。 运用重现策略解题首先要定位与问题相关的句子,然后观察及分析该句子前后的句子是否满足重现的情况。比如:本文中的第21题答案中的looking through 和原文looking through 是原词重现,答案中的rubbish和原文的garbage是同义重现。又如第22题,答案中的return, documents 和原文中的return, documents是原词重现。 考点:考查人物故事类阅读

Everybody in this world is different from one another.But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?

As we grow up,we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs.These are influenced by society,our family,the education we receive and so on.Once this value system is set up,it's not easy to change later in life.

Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances.This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money.

According to our different values,experts put us in three categories.They are:the ant,the cricket and the snail.

 

The ant-works first

Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store  food for winter,these people don't care about enjoying the moment.They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire.The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.

 

The cricket-fun first

The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future.They even borrow money when they really want something.Many young people now belong to this group.These people have little savings.When they get old,they might have problems.They should learn to save and buy insurance.

The snail-lives under pressure

The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves.They take big long-term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses.They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure whether they can afford it.This can cause problems in the future.They should plan more carefully.

1.People with the character of the snail would like to __________.

A.enjoy life at the moment without thinking much about the future

C.live a luxury life at all costs

D.take the risk of investing a large sum of money

A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months.

The system,called driver Alert,aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%—40% that are caused by tiredness.Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue.

Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband.The device,worn by drivers or pilots gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey.After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盘).A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver’s response.

Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time.Usually,a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond,but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds,it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.

In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds,showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest.If the driver’s response continues to slow down,the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warms that the driver must stop as soon as possible.

The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing.If these tests,scheduled for six months’ time,are successful,the markers will bring the product to market within about a year.

【小题】According to the text,Driver Alert ______.

A.aims to reduce tiredness-related accidents

B.has gone through testing at laboratories

C.aims to prevent drivers from sleeping

D.has been on sale for 12 months

【小题】How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert?

A.By sounding a warning

B.By touching the wristband

C.By checking the driving time

D.By pressing the steering wheel

【小题】We can learn from the text that the driver needs to stop for a break when his  response time is   ______.

A.About 400 milliseconds

B.below 500 milliseconds

C.over 500 milliseconds

D.about 400 minutes

【小题】When the driver gets sleepy while driving,Driver Alert ______.

A.moves more regularly

B.stops working properly

C.opens the window for the driver

D.sounds more frequently and loudly
