Now and again I have had horrible dreams, but not enough of them to make me lose my delight in dreams. To begin with. I like the idea of dreaming, of going to bed and lying still and then, by some queer magic, wandering into another kind of existence. As a child, I could never understand why grown-ups took dreaming so calmly when they could make such a fuss about any holiday, this still puzzles me. I am puzzled by people who say they never dream and appear to have no interest in the subject. It is much more astonishing than it would be if they said they never went out for a walk. Most people do not seem to accept dreaming as part of their lives. They appear to see it as an irritating little habit, like sneezing or yawning I can never understand this. My dream life does not seem as important as my waking life because there is far less of it, but to me it is important.
小題1:What is the author’s attitude toward dreaming?
A．He thinks it puzzling
B．He likes it
C．He is interested in it
D．He doesn’t accept it as part of his life
小題2: For the author of the passage, dreaming is________.    .
A．a(chǎn)nother kind of existence
B．a(chǎn)n irritating little habit
C．a(chǎn) horrible but wonderful experience
D．a(chǎn) true reflection of reality
小題3:The author of the passage suggests that people who say they never go out for a walk are_____.
A．interestingB．unbelievable
C．mysterious(難以理解的)D．lazy
小題4:Why does the author of the passage complain?
A．Because most people are overexcited about their dreams
B．Because most people are not interested in talking about their dreams
C．Because most people have had dreams most of the time
D．Because most people consider their dreams of too much importance

小題1:B
小題2:A
小題3:C
小題4:B
本文是一篇關(guān)于夢的說明文，只需要學(xué)生細心一點，難度不大。
小題1:細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二行：To begin with. I like the idea of dreaming知道應(yīng)該選擇B

These days everyone is worried about the size of their carbon footprint. In order to reduce global warming we need to make our carbon footprints smaller. But how much CO2 are we responsible for?
A new book by Mike Berners Lee, an expert, might be able to help. The carbon footprint looks at the different things we do and buy, and calculates the amount of CO2 all of the following created: the ingredients, the electricity, the equipment, the travel and commuting of the beer, and the packaging. It’s amazing how many different things need to be included in each calculation. And it’s frightening how much carbon dioxide everything produces.
This can help us decide which beer to drink. From Berners Lee’s calculations, it’s clear that a pint (568ml) of locally brewed beer has a smaller carbon footprint than a bottle of imported beer. This is because the imported beer has been transported from far away, and it uses more packaging. The local beer only produces 300g of CO2, but the imported beer produces 900g! So, one pint of local beer is better for the environment.
Berners Lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to work. Nothing is more environmentally friendly than riding a bike, surely? Well, it depends on what you’ve had to eat before. To ride a bike we need energy and for energy we need food. So if we eat a banana and then ride a kilometer, our footprint is 65g of CO2. However, if we eat bacon before the ride, it’s 200g. In fact, bananas are good because they don’t need packaging, they can be transported by boat and they grow in natural sunlight.
So, does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment? Absolutely not, for a start, if you cycle, you don’t use your car, and the fewer cars on the road, the fewer traffic jams. And cars in traffic jams produce three times more CO2 than cars traveling at speed. Cycling also makes you healthy and less likely to go to hospital. So maybe it’s time for us all to start making some changes. Pass me a banana and a pint of local beer, please.
小題1:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Everything produces carbon dioxide equally.
B．The imported beer is much better than the local beer in quality.
C．Actually bananas are good in general because they produce less CO2.
D．To make our carbon footprints smaller, we should often drink more beer.
小題2:The underlined word “brew” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “___________”.
A．makeB．putC．look afterD．take place
小題3:What’s the main purpose of writing this passage?
A．To tell the differences among bikes, beer and bananas.
B．To call on us to take action to make carbon footprint smaller.
C．To introduce what CO2 really is in our life.
D．To remind us to start healthy eating habits.
小題4:Where can we probably read this passage?
A．In a science fiction story.B．In a newspaper advertisement.
C．In a science research report.D．In a travel magazine.

Have you heard of the movie Benji off the Leashf This Benji story7 begins when his mother, a pretty black furry dog, escapes from the puppy mill with Colby, a boy who loves her．He tries to hide her in an abandoned house．The boy' s father discovers her there and takes mother and pups back home to the puppy mill, but leaves Benji behind because he doesn't look purebred （純血統(tǒng)的） enough to be sold for money．Colby comes back later to rescue the tiny puppy and keeps Benji in his wooden clubhouse, bringing Mom to come to visit him in secret．
As Benji grows bigger, it becomes harder to keep him in the clubhouse, and eventually the boy' s father discovers him and Benji is forced to flee to the streets．But despite his fear of Colby' s father, Benji cannot forget about his mother, who is growing steadily weaker and sicker．He continues to sneak back to the puppy mill yard to spy on the goings-on there and plan a way to rescue her．
Benji's doggie pal, Scrappy enters the story when he is pushed out of a car into a country lane．Once his paws hit the ground, Scrappy wags his tail once helplessly after the car as it drives away, and then is immediately up to his neck in hapless mischief （頑皮）. Scrappy is a lovably stupid little dog who barely manages to escape the animal control officers who are determined to catch him．
One of the wonderful things about this movie is that the two stars are not highly trained purebred dogs．Both Benji and Scrappy were rescued mixed breed dogs found at local animal shelters．Adorable Benji and his stupid pal, Scrappy, demonstrate that mixed-breed rescue dogs are just as intelligent and trainable as any purebred dog．
Benji Off the Leash clearly demonstrates the connection between people who abuse animals and people who abuse people．Colby' s father takes out his anger on those who are weaker than him, namely by frightening his wife and the dogs．He attempts to frighten Colby, but the boy bravely refuses to let him．
Children who are used to fast-paced action films with catchy theme songs may not have the patience for the slower pace of this film．But for rescue volunteers, older children, and anyone who loves dogs, this is a heartwarming movie that shows how even in today' s world of deserted dogs and backyard puppy mills, there can still be happy endings for homeless dogs．
小題1:What can be learned from the passage?
A．Two dogs star the movie．
B．The boy' s mother is very disgusting．
C．The movie will be liked by all the children．
D．The movie is fast-paced．
小題2:We can infer from the passage that _____．
A．The movie is in praise of deserting homeless dogs．
B．We shouldn't have mercy on homeless dogs．
C．We human beings need to love animals because they are our friends．
D．mixed-breed rescued dogs are less intelligent and trainable than purebred dogs．
小題3:What' s the passage mainly about?
A．Reviewing a Him．
B．Giving a summary of a movie．
C．Thinking highly of the relationship between animals and humans．
D．Criticizing people deserting animals．
小題4:What' s the purpose of writing the passage?
A．To attract more people to see the movie．
B．To call on children to help homeless pets．
C．To show anger about abusing animals．
D．To urge people to care and love animals．

Three more cattle farms in Andong，North Gyeongsang Province，were found to have been infected with the deadly foot-and-mouth disease，Nov．2 2010，Thursday．People fear that livestock farms in other parts of the country could be hit by the virus soon．

The area of child psychology is one of the most significant and well studied of all the branches of psychology. It aims to help with achieving a greater understanding of the behavior of children through an understanding of their minds. It deals with children who range from the prenatal(出生前的)stage right up to the stage of adolescence.
The psychologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980) has been credited with making a major breakthrough in this area when he put forward his idea that children were not actually less intelligent than adults, rather they just thought in a different way. Preciously the development of children right from birth through to adulthood was an area that was almost completely neglected. In fact very little work was done in this area. However, interest in this field has now developed to the point of being one of the most debated of all the areas of psychology.
Despite popular belief that factors such as genetics or personal characteristics are the only determining factors that influence a youth’s behavior, this is not in fact the case. In reality, development actually includes many more factors than those contained within an individual. Factors such as environment, which can include social relationships and the surrounding culture, also play important roles. Relationships with both peers and adults will no doubt affect how children think and learn, and therefore develop. These relationships can include those that are found not only within families but also in schools and peer groups.
Culturally speaking, this factor will contribute greatly to how children develop their personality concerning the values they end up holding (perhaps for a lifetime) as well as how they view such things as traditions and customs.
Nowadays, psychologists have agreed that a child’s psychology is both unique and highly complex. However, there are debates on many different points in this field and many viewpoints exist.
小題1:The word “neglected” underlined in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “______”.
A．ignoredB．destroyedC．developedD．explored
小題2:What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?
A．Popular belief about child psychology.
B．The role families play in a child’s development.
C．Factors that affect a child’s development.
D．The importance of relationships to a child.
小題3:The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to ____.
A．introduce an important psychologist.
B．give a brief introduction to child psychology.
C．compare some of the areas of psychology.
D．explain the development in psychology.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Pets provide an unconditional love that requires very little on the part of the human.
Animals are so special to those of us who love them. We miss them when they are no longer with us. We grieve (哀悼) for them in ways which are just the same as grieving for a human loved one.
Whether the end comes through old age, illness, or sudden death, the death of a pet can cause enormous feelings of sorrow, guilt, and loneliness for children and adults alike, as the animal was considered a family member, a child’s favoured playmate, or an older person’s loyal and faithful companion.
Some people don’t want a pet because they do die! It’s understandable to be unwilling to expose yourself to death but, at the same time, we become immeasurably more human because our animals die. When we live with animals we’re more in step with the rhythms of the planet from day to night and from season to season because our companions make us more aware of the changes around us. Our companion animals teach us about the simple gifts of a beautiful day, a good meal and a gentle touch.
The death of a pet can make us struggle with our belief structure－a natural part of the grieving period. Whether grieving an animal or human, we question our beliefs and many people find their belief structure becomes stronger when they ask themselves hard questions. Others find a new way of acceptance.
And we learn from our animals. Animals aren’t afraid to die; they show us that the end of life can be faced without fear. They can teach us to accept death as an opening for love and wonder.
Allow yourself to grieve in whatever way is appropriate for you. The loss of a pet is real grief and causes us to travel through the stages of grief－denial, anger, depression, guilt, and acceptance. These stages must be lived through for the mourning to allow full healing.
小題1: According to the passage, the reason why some people don’t want a pet may be that       .
A．a(chǎn)nimals may change our belief structure
B．a(chǎn)nimals are so special for those who love them
C．pets can never escape from death which makes people sad
D．pets only provide people with love but never ask for return
小題2:The underlined sentence in paragraph 4 probably means                        .
A．the animals’ death is unacceptable for their owners
B．the animals’ death may arouse their true feelings inside
C．the animals’ death may expose people to the changes in life
D．the animals’ death is more understandable than human’s death
小題3:According to the passage, we can infer that                               .
A．pets can give us some gifts when they have a good meal
B．pets are so selfless and brave that all the people love them
C．people can never accept the death of pets or the one they love
D．people may go through several stages before they can accept the death of a pet
小題4:What’s the attitude of the author towards grieving a pet?
A．Neutral.B．Negative.C．Positive.D．Critical.
