After years of study,I have known there are only two types of people in this world:those who get to the airport early and those who arrive as the plane is about to take off.

If there were any justice in this world,the early­airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing and the late­airport people would be punished.But the early­airport people get ulcers(溃疡),heart attacks and bite their finger­nails to the bone (急得团团转).The late­airport people are hardly aware that they are flying.

A guy of that kind once said,“Don’t hurry.If you miss your flight,it’s because God didn’t want you to go.”This is clearly a guy who is never going to get an ulcer.

Early­airport people suffer another“name”.They are called exactly what they are—wimps(懦夫).I know I am an early­airport person for years.My luggage will get on the plane first,which makes it the last luggage they take off the plane after landing.

Another strange thing:No matter how early I showed up,I was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat.I figured it was a trick.I figured there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said,“Is that wimp Simon flying somewhere today?If he is,give me his seat.”

After a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead,I have learned another fact about early­airport people and late­airport people:

They always marry each other.

1.We can learn from the passage that________.

A.late­airport persons often get ulcers or heart attacks

B.early­airport persons are always relaxed during the flight

C.early­airport persons get their luggage first after landing

D.late­airport persons always take things easy

2.The fifth paragraph mainly tells us________.

A.someone always plays tricks on the writer

B.the airlines usually fool passengers

C.early­airport persons always can’t get good seats

D.the service of airlines is very bad

3.The purpose of writing the passage is to________.

A.give useful tips on taking a plane

B.offer advice about catching a plane

C.express the writer’s anxiety about taking planes

D.show peoples two attitudes toward catching planes

4.It could be inferred that the writer’s wife is________.

A.an early­airport woman B.a late­airport woman

C.a hot­tempered woman   D.a sensitive woman

5.The writing style of the passage would be best described as________.

A.serious       B.simple

C.humorous      D.ironic

 

1.D 2.C 3.D 4.B 5.C 【解析】 1.细节理解题。从第二段及第三段所举事例可知,晚到机场的人总是沉得住气,不慌不忙,故选D。从第二段第二句可知A项和B项错;从第四段最后一句可知C项错。 2.2】段落大意题。从第五段可知作者通过描述自己的亲身经历得出一个结论:早到机场的人往往不能得到想要的座位,故C选项正确。A项是作者的一个玩笑。因为他总是得不到想要的座位,所以才会说I figured it was a trick;B项和D项无法从第五段推出。 3.3】意图推测题。通读全文不难推断出作者写此文章主要介绍了人们对于赶飞机的两种截然不同的态度,故D选项正确。 4.4】推理判断题。根据文章可知作者属于“早到机场的人。”文章的结尾提到了作者的另一个发现:早到机场的人总是与晚到机场的人结婚。由此,可推知作者的妻子属于“晚到机场的人”,故选B。 5.5】推理判断题。综观全文,作者的写作风格诙谐幽默,妙趣横生,故选C。

Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.

Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies' two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.

Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X­ray facilities(设备) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers.Irene continued the work by developing X­ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military' Medal by the French government.

In 1918, Irene became her mother's assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.

Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity(辐射能). Irene Joliot­Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

The baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert(警觉). Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze(凝视)starts to lose its focus--until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?

Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise(同样地)when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.

1.Babies are sensitive to the change in _______.

A. the size of cards      B. the colour of pictures

C. the shape of patterns  D. the number of objects

2.Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?

A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment

B. To see how babies recognize sounds

C. To carry their experiment further

D. To keep the babes interest.

3.Where does this text probably come from?

A. Science fiction     B. Children’s literature

C. An advertisement     D. A science report

The Model T was a car of that kind.It only cost $850.It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on.Doctors bought the Model T.So did farmers.Even criminals.

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,CD四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Exploit your parking space

An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement(广告)for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark.

Rent(出租)a room

Spare room? Not only will a lodger(房客)earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government­backed “rent a room” program, you won't have to pay any tax on the first £4,500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.

Make money during special events

Don't want a full­time lodger? Then rent on a short­term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. Grashpadder can advertise your space.

Live on set

Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked.

Use your roof

You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing  solar equipment(around£14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25­year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.

1.If you earn £5,000 from renting a room in one year, the tax you need to pay will be based on ________.

A.£300    B.£500

C.£4,500  D.£5,000

2.Where can you put an advertisement to rent out a room during a big event?

A.On Letpark.      B.On Roomspare.

C.On Grashpadder.  D.On Roommateeasy.

3.If you want to use energy free, you have to ________.

A.sign an agreement with the government

B.pay around £14,000 for the equipment

C.sell the roof to some energy companies

D.keep the roof unchanged within 25 years

4.For whom is the text most probably written?
