The underlined word “reluctant in the passage may probably mean . A. kind B. unwilling C. free D. careless 答案 56.C 57.A 58.D 59.B Passage 89 Despite the high technology and investmentin flood defenses by the Environment Agency..there is no way to stop all flooding-sooner or later nature will produce something that will beat even the strongest defenses. Warning people of this danger is very important if we are to prevent the great loss of life seen fifty-three years ago. Indeed if the Flood Warning system that currently exists had been around on that cold, stormy night in January 1953 ,many lives would have been spared. The Environment Agency took over the role of flood warning in 1995 from the police who had to go door to door or sound alarms to get the news not. The service is being constantly improved and a combination of better technology and increased investment following the Easter Floods of 1998 has led to the creation of Floodline and an automatic messaging system that can warn thousands of people in very little time. The Flood Warning team in Kent has also sent letters to the people living close to the rivers or the sea and invited them to join the AVM (automated voice messaging) system. Anyone choosing to take up this free service will receive a recorded message directly to their home, business or pager telling them of the level of warming, giving them as much time as possible to carry out their flood plan and save items that cannot be replaced if lost or daraged, such as photographs or children’s favorite toys. 72.Choose the correct statements from the following according to the passage. a. Many people lost their lives in the flood in 1953. b. The Flood Warning system was already in use in 1953. c. Flood defenses can stop all flooding. d. The Environment Agency began to warn people of flood in 1995. e. Floodline was created after the Easter Floods of 1998. A. a, b, c B. b, c, d C. a, c, c D. a, d, e 【查看更多】

 

題目列表(包括答案和解析)

Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job. I’m not a football commentator (評論員), though – just an English teacher in Japan.

I came to Japan two years ago, and didn’t think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People often end up living here longer than they planned. I think it’s best to teach in a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But I’d say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.

I teach English privately, which means I’m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it’s well worth doing a TEFL course first, because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part – time.

Most of my foreign friends here work full – time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on, but whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.

The schools are reluctant to take time off – even teachers with tickets for the England – Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.
