People living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In 1933, the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their surprise that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliff (懸崖) on which they had been built. While ex??perts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea.
Erosion (侵蝕) of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be aban??doned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be eaten up by the hungry sea.
Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland ar??ea of hard rock, which will not be eaten as limestone is. Mean??while, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain fu??ture, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knock??down price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.
What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?
A. The rising of the sea level.
B. The experts’ short of knowledge.
C. The washing-away of limestone cliff.
D. The disappearance of hotels, houses and gardens.
The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England ________.
A. will soon become a problem for people living in central England
B. has now become a threat to the local residents
C. can be stopped if proper measures are taken
D. is quickly changing the map of England
The experts’ study on the problem of erosion can ________.
A. warn people whose homes are in danger
B. provide an effective way to slow it down
C. help to its eventual solution
D. lead to its eventual solution(www.nmet168.com)
It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because ________.
A. house agents along the coast do not support the idea
B. it is too costly and will endanger neighboring areas
C. the government is too slow in taking action
D. they will be easily knocked down by waves and currents

Diamonds may be forever. But what’s a girl to do when she gets dumped (失戀) or divorced (離婚) and those rings, necklace and love gifts lose their emotional (情感) sense?
Help is just a click away on new Web sites that provide an outlet for selling jewelry(珠寶) from past relationships, sharing break-up stories and helping broken hearts heal (愈合).
“You go through a divorce. What do you do with that ring? Maybe you have a child you can pass it on to. Maybe you don’t. It just sits there, ” said Megahn Perry, who with her stepmother (繼母) Marie Perry runs www.exboyfriendjewelry.com.
Three months after its start with the slogan(口號) “You Don’t Want It. He Can’t Have It Back,” the web site has 3,000 registered users and more than 600 postings of rings, bracelets and earrings for sale—all with a personal tale attached.
As one woman posting a diamond ring for $3,500 wrote:
“Beautiful ring came with a wrong man. Decided to sell to regain the money that I spent finishing payments on the ring that my ex didn’t.”
The idea was born when Megahn Perry, a Los Angeles actress and writer, was looking for a safe place to sell a wedding set after a divorce and realized others might have former boyfriends’ jewelry with memories(記憶) that make them too painful to wear.
The local pawn shop(當鋪) proved an unattractive choice. So she teamed up with her stepmother Marie, researched the market and found a gap in it.
【小題1】 The passage is mainly about _____.
A.how a web site is set up | B.how sad the love stories are |
C.How much a website can make | D.How many people like the web site |
A.Less than three months. | B.At least three months. |
C.Less than one month. | D.Not known. |
A.About 600. | B.About 3,000. | C.About 3,500. | D.Not know. |
A.Megahn herself alone. | B.Megahn and her best friend. |
C.Megahn and her stepmother. | D.Megahn and her exboyfriend. |
A.Gulf between two people. | B.Misunderstandings among each other. |
C.Differences from a pawn shop. | D.A market worth developing. |

D. Reflecting on her earlier life, she observes that for most of it she was either with a man or in the process of leaving one, and so in the first stages of her journey she experiments with singleness.

While he is seen mainly in group shots, his namesake food is filmed in loving close-ups.

Meanwhile, a Russian terrorist named Poldark has escaped CIA custody and is looking for a top-secret code that young Ian accidentally downloaded from Bob's computer, which means Poldark and his goons are going to show up any minute now and kill them all.

Text-messaging, the shorthand language favored by teenagers has started to push aside
traditional grammar among high school English learners.
Today's teenagers are 10 times more likely to use non-standard English in written exams than before. They use informal words, phrases and text messages such as "m8" for "mate", "2"instead of "too" and "u" for "you".
This language has made it into classrooms. School children are now handing in essays(短文) written in text messages.
Educators say abbreviated words are fine for text messages on the mobile phone, but in school essays, it only shows the laziness of today's youth. They argue that the use of these shortened forms allows the users to avoid having to spell and use the language correctly.
Despite this, a two-year study by Cambridge University has found that today's teenagers are using far more complex(復雜的) sentence structures, a wider vocabulary and a more ex-act use of capital letters, punctuation and spelling. The quality of writing has also improved, said Alf Massey, head of the department of Cambridge University that carried out the study. But phrases that may not have been acceptable to examiners have come into regular use gradually.
Barry Spur, a senior lecturer in English at the University of Sydney, said it was no surprise to learn that students were using the shorthand language in their studies as a move away from the formal use of English.
Spur said the real test was whether teenagers stuck to using informal words and phrases and text messages when they were writing something they knew required a more formal use of English.
He also questioned whether the shorthand really did lead to greater cleanness of language or whether it was simply faster.
1.What do many teenagers prefer to use in written exams?
A. Formal words. B. Non-standard English.
C. Traditional grammar rules. D. Numbers and letters.
2.Which of the following is tree according to the passage?
A. Alf Massey was the head of Cambridge University.
B. The teenagers have improved the quality of writing.
C. Barry Spur was a senior lecturer in English in Cambridge University.
D. The study was carried out for three years.
3.The exact meaning of the underlined word." abbreviated" in Paragraph 4 is .
A. written B. enlarged C. shortened D. spoken
4.The main idea of the passage is __
A. teenagers like to use text messages
B. text-messaging enters classrooms
C. mobile phone shorthand also belongs to formal essays
D. the usage of text messages shows the laziness of today's youth
