阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。 With the development of the Internet and the popularization of computers, shopping on the Internet has become a common place in our life. Here consumers can buy almost everything they need. Shopping on the Internet has a lot of advantages, of which the most important is perhaps its convenience. People don’t have to waste a lot of their energy and precious time to go from one shop to another to choose the commodities they like. This is especially desirable to the old, the sick and the busy people who cannot go to the shops in person. The goods come in all shapes, sizes and colors on the Internet. The commodities they order will be delivered to them promptly. However, shopping on the Internet also has its disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that the consumers can’t see the goods or try them on personally. Sometimes, the real goods may not be the same as what they have seen on the computer. The second disadvantage is that some shops on the Internet are not registered. They will never deliver anything to you after they get the money from you. Once cheated, you will find that you have nowhere to go to complain. 1. 以约30个词概括短文的要点; 2. 然后以约120个词以”网上购物”为主题发表看法,并包括以下要点: (1) 你认为网上购物的最大优点是什么; (2) 描述你或你的朋友或同学网上购物的体验; (3) 你对网上购物有什么建议. 1. 可以使用事例或其他论述方法支持你的观点, 也可以参照阅读材料的内容但不能直接引用原文中的句子; 2. 标题自拟.

My newly-rented small apartment was far away from the centre of London and it was becoming essential for me to find a job, so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the underground. They were looking for guards, not drivers. This suited me. I couldn’t drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train, and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations. The writers Keats and Chekhov had been doctors. T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance company. I’d be a subway guard. I could see myself being cheerful, useful, a good man in a crisis（危机）. Obviously I’d be overqualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel privileges — those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from the city centre. The next day I sat down, with almost a hundred other candidates, for the intelligence test. I must have done all right because after about half an hour’s wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test. This time there were only about fifty candidates. The interviewer sat at a desk. Candidates were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed, after a greater or shorter time. Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones. Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes. Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half. I can remember the questions now: “Why did you leave your last job?” “Why did you leave your job before that?” “And the one before that?” I can’t recall my answers, except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter. His closing statement, I thought, revealed（显示） a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a psychologist, he had risen no higher than the underground railway. “You’ve failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position.” Failing to get that job was my low point. Or so I thought, believing that the work was easy. Actually, such jobs — being a postman is another one I still desire — demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give. But I was still far short of full self-understanding. I was also short of cash. 1.．The writer applied for the job chiefly because _________.
2.．The writer thought he was overqualified for the job because _________.
3.．The length of his interview meant that _________.
4.．What does the writer realize now that he did not realize then?
5.．What’s the writer’s opinion of the psychologist?
Against the supposition that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space. This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest fires to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over the next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling. This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat. Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone（臭氧） levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling. “We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the change in the amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicted, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth. 1.．According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent northern forest fires may __________.
2.．The following are all the immediate effects after a forest fire EXCEPT __________.
3.．Earlier studies about northern forest fires __________.
4.．The underlined phrase “soak up” in the last paragraph most probably means __________.
5.．From the passage we can draw a conclusion that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia may ____.
Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working harder than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops, and factories are discovering the great efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunch rooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever increasing output. Thus the “typical” Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comfort and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality. Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that “assembly line life” will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local café? Since the late 1950s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence. In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modern economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modern, industrial France is preferable to the old. 1.Which of the following is a feature of the old French way of life?
2.Which of the following is NOT true about Frenchmen?
3.The passage suggests that _________.
4.Which of the following is true about the critics?
5.Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?
1685 was a very good year for German composers. Within the space of a month, two of the greatest were born: Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel. Handel’s father was a barber and surgeon, which sounds like a strange combination today, but back then those occupations went hand in hand. Even though Handel was very interested in music, his father didn’t think that was a good way to earn a living, so he wanted his son to be a lawyer. The story goes that Handel smuggled a quiet piano into the house so that he could practice in secret. One day, Handel went along when his father went to shave a duke. While his father was working, Handel sat down and played the duke’s organ. The duke was so impressed that he convinced Handel’s father to let his son study music, and Handel finally got to learn how to compose. Handel soon discovered that what he liked most was opera. In fact, he was so passionate about opera that he even fought a duel (决斗) over it with one of his friends. Since Italy was the place to learn about opera composing, Handel went off to Italy to study. When he got home, he got a job as court composer for a German prince. Having landed such a wonderful job, Handel immediately asked his boss for time off. He wanted to go to England, where he’d heard that there weren’t nearly enough composers to satisfy the British taste for Italian opera. After great success writing opera in London, Handel came back to Germany. Then fate played a funny trick on Handel and his boss. The Queen of England died, and it just so happened that the prince Handel worked for was next in line to the British throne. When he arrived in London as King George, followed Handel, his court composer in Germany. In addition to serving the King, Handel became one of the most successful opera composers of his time. And he also produced them and traveled all over Europe to hire the best singers. There are stories of battles with rival opera producers and of fights between rival singers. Handel apparently had quite a temper. If you ever go to London, look for Handel’s grave in Westminster Abbey, where there’s a wonderful monument to him. 1.How did Handel begin to learn to compose?
2.What does the underlined word “smuggled” mean in the passage?
3. Why did Handel later settle down in Britain instead of Germany?
4.Which of the following words can NOT be used to describe Handel, as shown in the passage?
5. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?

He immediately asked many people 22 bandages, but when nobody could put 23 hands on any, his father got some tea towels and tape from their house. John used these to dress the most severe injuries to Ms Slade’s hands. He slowed the bleeding by applying pressure to the wounds 24 the police and the ambulance arrived. “I’m proud of what I did, but I was just doing what I 25 (teach),” John said.

On the morning of his graduation day his father called him into his own study and told him how 4 he was to have such a fine son.

The moment he was about to 10 the hospital, he saw on the desk the still new book, just as he had left it one year ago. He opened it and began to 11 the pages. Suddenly, a car key 12 from an envelope taped behind the book. It had a tag(标签) with the dealer’s name, the 13 dealer who had the sports car he had 14 .

Jealous of the kids at school who are smarter than you and seem to learn more quickly? Don’t worry． 71 72 However, according to a recent study, IQ can rise—not just by one or two points, but by as many as 21 points! Scientists have found that IQ changes are linked to changes in part of the brain called gray matter, which was seen to grow and become denser （更加密集） in the brains of people whose IQs improved greatly． 73 One is to train your short-term memory． Previous research has proven that short-term memory is the basis for intelligence, so trying to recognize or retell something that you have seen or heard can help raise your overall brain power． 74 A good night’s sleep will also help improve your concentration． 75 It helps you stay focused for longer the next day． Scientists have also found that exercise helps． Walking 30 minutes a day five times a week and doing exercise will help you become more knowledgeable—as well as healthier and fitter． A． There are several ways of increasing your brain’s gray matter． B． Your brain deals more efficiently with things you truly like． C． With a bit of brain training, the chances are that you can be as smart as they are． D． So maybe it’s a good idea to get your brain in training right away． E． Getting enough sleep is like pushing the reset button in your brain． F． The more you work on it, the better you will become． G． People used to assume that a person’s IQ was unchangeable．
Some American parents might think their children need better education to compete with China and other countries’ children． But how much do the parents themselves need to change? A new book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother written by Amy Chua has caused a debate about cultural differences in parenting． Ms． Chua is a professor at the Yale Law School in New Haven, Connecticut, and a mother of two daughters． She was raised in America by immigrant Chinese parents． In her book, Ms． Chua wrote about how she demanded excellence from her daughters． For example, she threatened to burn her daughter’s dolls unless she played a piece of music perfectly． She would scold her daughters if they failed to meet her expectations． Ms． Chua had a clear list of what her daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were not permitted to do: “Attend a sleepover, have a play date, watch TV or play computer games, be in a school play, get any grade less than an A．” Many people criticize Amy Chua, saying her parenting methods were cruel and violent． She even admits that her husband, who is not Chinese, sometimes objected to her parenting style． But she says that is the way her parents raised her and her three sisters． Ms． Chua says she eased some of the pressure after her younger daughter rebelled and shouted “I hate my life! I hate you!” But she also says American parents often have low expectations of their children’s abilities． Amy Chua thinks one of the biggest differences between Western and Chinese parents is that Chinese parents take on strength rather than fragility．” Stacy DeBroff, who has written four books on parenting, says: “Parents should rethink, what does it mean to be a successful parent and what does it mean to be a successful child?” She says Amy Chua’s parenting style is not limited to Chinese families． It represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children． But she also sees a risk． When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life． Stacey DeBroff advises parents to develop their own style of parenting and not just repeat the way they were raised． 1.Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is mainly about ___________． A． how to teach children to learn music B． how to change the ways of parenting C． Amy Chun’s experience in parenting D． Amy Chun’s reflection of her family life 2.The underlined word “rebelled” in Paragraph 4 probably means “____________”． A． disobeyed B． succeeded C． failed D． panicked 3.According to Ms． Chua, Chinese way of parenting is powerful because ____________． A． parents set good examples to children B． parents understand their children better C． parents usually treat their children as friends D． parents have high expectations of their children 4.What is Stacy DeBroff’s warning to immigrant parents? A． Don’t expect too much from their children． B． Don’t allow them to communicate with others． C． Don’t give them freedom to do what they want to． D． Don’t bring up their children as their parents did．

Despite being tall, Michelle Obama is much smaller than she appears on television． And she seemed a little short by her surroundings in the great hall of Christchurch College as she spoke quietly without a microphone because of a technical mistake． Her audience were 40 young girls from a London state school where 50 languages are spoken． “I remember how well-meaning but misguided people questioned whether someone with my background could succeed at an elite （精英） university,” she said． “When I was accepted, I had all kinds of worries and doubts． I wouldn’t be as well prepared as students from privileged families and I wouldn’t fit in． But you are just as capable and have just as much to offer as anyone else．” This was Mrs． Obama’s only solo outing during the state visit and part two of an unusual relationship which she has struck up with Anderson College in Islington． Two years ago on her first visit to the UK she visited the school． Yesterday she returned to meet the pupils but this time at Christchurch College where they were taking part in an open day run to improve Oxford’s still poor record on diversifying student intake． Mrs． Obama was asked why she married her husband, what it was like being First Lady and when there would be a female President in the White House． Her message—which she repeated time and again—was work hard, have self-belief, and don’t be afraid to fail． It was very un-British, but rather effective． Afterwards there were hugs for everyone and a photo with her． And watching the group of multicultural young Britons surround her among the splendor of the college building one thought stood out． Had Mrs． Obama been born in Britain, she would almost certainly not have made it to Oxford as she did to Harvard． But now—thanks in part to her—some of these children just might． 1.According to the passage, Michelle Obama ____________． A． graduated from Anderson College B． paid her first visit to the UK this time C． was confident when she entered the college D． came from a family without good background 2.It is implied in the passage that these 40 young girls ____________． A． were all from the United States B． were students of Oxford University C． came from different cultural backgrounds D． stayed with Mrs． Obama because of hard work 3.Michelle Obama thinks success may come from the following EXCEPT ____________． A． working hard B． believing in yourself C． good opportunities D． facing failure without fear 4.What can we learn from the underlined sentence?

Last year, around Labor Day, I read a “Happy Ad” in our local newspaper． There was a lady in a local nursing home, who was celebrating her 90th birthday and her family wanted everyone to know about it． It said that if you wanted to drop her a line, here was her address． So I did． I found a birthday card and dropped her a short note, wishing her a happy birthday． A week or so later, someone knocked at my front door． I opened the door and found a middle-aged man standing on my doorstep． He introduced himself as the son of this woman to whom I had sent the card． He explained that he just wanted to drop by in person and thank me for sending such a nice card to his mom． Apparently, like many older folks, she did not receive much mail and was quite excited to receive mine． I just didn’t know what to say． I told him it was my pleasure and that I hoped his mom had enjoyed her birthday． That year, I did not send out any Christmas cards, except to this lovely old lady in the nursing home． I just told her that I was thinking about her and hoped that she had a nice holiday． I sent her a Valentine and also a couple of notes in between． I just thought she might like to have someone write to her, to get some mail． She passed away a couple of months ago． I never met this lady, but I did keep her and her family in my thoughts． I dropped them a line of sympathy． I hope that my few little notes were enough to brighten a couple of her days here on earth． 1.The old lady’s address was given because ____________． A． her family wanted to make her well-known B． the old lady wanted to receive a birthday card C． the son of the old lady wanted to meet the author D． her family wanted to give her a happy birthday 2.Which of the following best describes the author?

I have learnt a lot about Chinese life and culture while teaching in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province and found them very interesting． First, family life is quite 36 in China． In the USA, many young people 37 home after they finish their education and start working． However, in China, it is 38 for people to live with their parents until they get married． 39 , many of my Chinese friends told me that their 40 lived with them and helped take care of them when they were children． It seems that Americans think independence is more important 41 the Chinese think family relationships are more important． Bargaining is another 42 that I have tried to learn． In the USA, prices are 43 and you can’t ask for a lower price． However in some small Chinese stores and tourist places, you are 44 to bargain． My Chinese friends taught me to ask for 40 percent or 50 percent 45 the original price． If the salesperson doesn’t agree to my price, I should 46 to leave and he might let me come back and sell me the item． It is a skill that you have to 47 if you live in China． Tipping hasn’t been easier to 48 ． In the USA, many people in the service 49 want to get 50 money for serving customers． Tipping is not a part of Chinese culture． 51 I tried to tip a taxi driver． He looked a little 52 and refused to take the money． In dinners, perhaps what surprises an American visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their 53 ． Actually, this is a 54 of true friendship and politeness． My Chinese friend told me if I didn’t want to eat it, I should just 55 the food in the plate． 1.A． unique B． different C． private D． harmonious 2.A． come B． build C． leave D． abandon 3.A． regular B． true C． common D． usual 4.A． Also B． However C． Therefore D． Although 5.A． parents B． relatives C． babysitters D． grandparents 6.A． while B． since C． when D． as 7.A． way B． custom C． lesson D． habit 8.A． made B． agreed C． charged D． set 9.A． expected B． taught C． suggested D． required 10.A． up B． away C． off D． on 11.A． promise B． pretend C． decide D． hope 12.A． tolerate B． understand C． practise D． consider 13.A． adjust to B． turn to C． refer to D． stick to 14.A． area B． department C． branch D． industry 15.A． easy B． extra C． pocket D． prize 16.A． Often B． Once C． Sometimes D． Before 17.A． excited B． satisfied C． frightened D． confused 18.A． own B． children C． neighbors D． guests 19.A． signal B． mark C． sign D． feature 20.A． leave B． remain C． put D． taste
