閱讀下面短文和問題,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容和每個(gè)題后的具體要求,在答題卡相應(yīng)題號(hào)后的橫線上寫下相關(guān)信息,完成對(duì)該問題的回答。答語要意思清楚,結(jié)構(gòu)正確,書寫工整。

It’s 2010, outside the gate of a school somewhere in the UK. Some teenagers are talking. One says to another,” I’m tired of jamming after school---it’s really vanilla. Let’s go for a za, OK?” Two adults are walking past. They hear what the teenagers are saying, but they don’t understand a word. (What the teenagers said was,” I’m tired of hanging around after school---it’s really boring. Let’s go for a pizza.”)

This is nothing new---teenagers always invent new words and phrases. They create words for everyday things---words that mean good or porents or bad or good-looking, and so on. Look at these different ways of saying good in recent decades:

1960s---groovy (or fab)

1970s---neat

1980s---ace

1990s---wicked

2000s---cool

But, of course, the words you use depend on your interests, your friends, the music you listen to and the part of the country you live in. Different groups of teenagers have different likes and dislikes, and so they also have different expressions.

So why do teenagers invent new words, or invent new meanings for old words? Many people think it’s because they don’t want adults to understand, but that probably isn’t true---the real reason is that teenagers like to be creative and play with language, so they have fun creating new words.

And what do parents and old people think about it all? Most of them don’t worry about it---after all, they had their own special words when they teenagers too. But, some adults complain about “teen talk” and get quite annoyed by it. But that’s all part of the fun for the teenagers!

1.What is the way of teenagers’ saying good in the 2000s?(只用一個(gè)單詞)

____________________________________________________________________________

2.Why do teenagers invent new words? (不多于七個(gè)單詞)

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的七個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Do you have any problem with time? Start doing these and you will see the difference.

● Write it down

Don’t rely on your memory to keep track of every little detail. 1. Write down the things you need to do in a small notebook, or use online tool to create and update your “to-do” list.

2.

Working for long periods without a break can waste your time. It is more efficient to work or study for a shorter period of time, take a break, and then go back to work. You may get more done in tow focused 45-minute sessions.

● One thing at a time

3. Do one thing at a time, and do it well. As the Chinese proverb says, “One cannot manage too many affairs. Like pumpkins in the water, one pops up while you try to hold down the other.”

● Schedule email time

On your cell phone you get a notification every time someone sends you can email. If so, you have to check your email many, many times a day. 4. Schedule time to check your email. It doesn’t matter when.

● Choose to say “No”.

It’s easy to become overwhelmed if we say “yes” to everything. Think about the task before you commit to it. Do you need to do it? Can someone else do it? Avoid saying “yes” to every request. 5.

● Keep a goal journal

Write down your goals in a journal and evaluate them regularly. Mark your progress for each goal. Be sure you take the necessary step to achieve your goals.

A. Make a list first

B. Don’t skip the breaks

C. Turn that notification off

D. Memory is not always accurate

E. Don’t forget to focus on your task

F. This takes time away from more important tasks

G. Every time we switch from one task to another, we lose focus

Michelle was a student at University of California, Los Angeles. She is here to tell us how she feels about the city.

What were the best things about Los Angeles?

One of my favorite things about Los Angeles is the weather. I hate the cold and it never really gets that cold there. Plus, most of the time it’s usually sunny, which is good because I love going to the beach during the summer. There’s so much to do at the beach, but my favorite thing in L.A. was having a picnic on the sand with my friends.

What were the worst things about being there?

I disliked having to drive everywhere to get around because the city is so spread out. Los Angeles has a lot of traffic and sometimes it takes a long time to get somewhere close by just because the streets are so crowded. Also, a lot of people complain about the pollution.

Did you have any problems there?

Just the normal problems of living in any city, like watching out for pickpockets (扒手). Some people think Los Angeles has a lot of crime, but I think it’s as safe as any other city. Also, many people think driving is difficult because there is a lot of traffic and road rage (路怒癥), but it just takes a little practice and a lot of patience.

What are the people like in Los Angeles?

There are all types of people in Los Angeles since the city is pretty diverse. For the most part, though, most of the people are friendly, calm and relaxed. Some people say that everyone in Los Angeles is beautiful, but I think that’s just a stereotype (模式化的印象).

Would you go back to Los Angeles?

Certainly. Los Angeles is one of my favorite cities in the world. I love the fact that it has all the nightlife and shopping of a big city, but also has access to beaches, parks, mountains and other places you can’t usually find in large cities. Between the weather and the beaches and all the fun things to do, it’s a great place to be.

1.We can learn from the text that Michelle _____.

A. hates the heavy traffic in Los Angeles

B. dislikes the cold weather in Los Angeles

C. thinks Los Angeles is small and crowded

D. enjoys driving everywhere in Los Angeles

2.What’s Michelle’s impression of the people in Los Angeles?

A. They get angry easily.

B. All sorts of people live there.

C. They are patient and amusing.

D. Everyone is kind and beautiful.

3.How does Michelle find Los Angeles?

A. Safe but noisy. B. Relaxing but busy.

C. Polluted and dangerous. D. Diverse and interesting.

4.We learn from the text that _____.

A. Michelle was born in Los Angeles

C. Los Angeles has many traffic accidents

D. Michelle has no plan to return to Los Angeles

Sports are all about change. A team gets better. A kid practices more and swims a personal best or learns a new move on the basketball court. In 2006, two things happened that got me thinking about change—in sports and in life.

One of them is tennis champion Andre Agassi, who retired in 2006. Agassi was a terrific player who won 60 titles, including eight major championships(冠軍稱號(hào)). But his greatest accomplishment(成就)might have been how much he changed during his career.

When he was young, Agassi was a show off who seemed to care only about himself. He didn't train very hard, but he won matches because of his tremendous(極大的)talent.Eventually, though, injuries and his bad attitude caught up with him. He fell from No.1 in the world ranking to No.141.

So Agassi changed. He trained harder and became a world-class player again. More importantly, he changed as a person. He was nicer to fans and opponents(對(duì)手). He stopped thinking just about himself and started thinking about others. Through his Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation, he raised more than $60 million to help disadvantaged kids around his hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada. He even started a school, the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, for at-risk kids.

At the start of a new year, lots of people promise themselves they will change. They might vow to get in good physical shape, do better in school or be nicer to others. Changes such as those can be difficult. But they do happen. Just remember Andre Agassi: It wasn't easy, but he changed, and changed for the better.

1.According to the writer, which of the following may be the greatest achievement for Agassi?

A. He once ranked No.1 in the world rankings.

B. He won 60 titles.

C. He changed much during his career.

D. He won 8 major championships.

2.What does the underlined work “vow” in the 6th paragraph probably mean?

A. promise. B. agree. C. wish. D. prove.

3.What do you know about Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation?

A. It is intended to help at-risk kids.

B. It is a charity school set up by Agassi.

C. Some disadvantaged kids can get help from it.

D. Agassi runs it with his prize money.

4.What might be talked about in the paragraphs following this passage?

A. What achievements Agassi has made after he changed for the better.

B. How we can change for the better.

C. Another thing happened in life that got the writer thinking about change.

D. Some assessments(評(píng)價(jià)) about Agassi from different people.

World travel has moved on to a new level as new websites spring up to enable travelers to plan their trips online. Virtual tourism is the latest name of the game and although relatively new, has seen some tourism websites grow to host over one-million users.

Typically, this development features a website that contains the answers to almost any tourism question.Tips and information are not provided by a single source, such as the website host, but rather from travelers themselves-often in the thousands. This has proven to be exceptionally beneficial for would-be travelers who are seeking infomtation on questions such as where to find the best museum or beach; whether it is better to tour Brussels with a bicycle or on foot; and which exchange rate bureaus are available in Italy. Questions about food and restaurants; tourist spots; safety; accommodation; and others are all answered. In addition, posted tips promote better preparation, such as what to pack when heading for Sicily(西西里島).

Apart from the useful tips, visual images and virtual tours have also been made available.If you'd like to visit the Eiffel Tower, it's a good idea to view the surrounding areas; to pick a safer train route; or to know that it's very close to the Seine River and that a walk along it would enhance the experience.

Virtual tours have sprung up globally.In South Africa, John Gore established the Virtual Tour Guide in November last year. On his blog, Gore was quoted a saying, "The world is panoramic(全景的). "'We are able to tum our heads and look in all directions and get a feel for where we are, but the typical photograph cannot show or describe that experience completely. " However, there is an answer--technology makes it possible to share the world around us in a 360 degree panoramic way, which really makes the viewer feel as though he or she is really there.

1.Why is virtual tourism more and more popular?

A. Online games are more and more attractive.

B. Many new websites appear and develop fast.

C. More and more people want to travel abroad.

D. It helps travelers save as much money as possible.

2.From the second paragraph we know

A. we can solve any problem on websites

B. websites offer all the tips and information

C. we can get all our questions answered online

D. we can get many tips about tourism on websites

3.What does the underlined word "sprung up" most probably mean?

A. Appeared. B. Moved. C. Competed. D. Reduced.

4.What makes us see the world in a panoramic way?

A. Information. B. Photograph.

C. Technology. D. Virtual images.
