.

People express their personalities in their clothes, their cars, and their homes. Our diets can also show our personalities because we might choose certain food to tell people something about us.

For example, some people mainly enjoy high quality food, such as caviar (魚(yú)子醬) and lobster (龍蝦), and they eat only in expensive restaurants – never in cafeterias or bars. They know about the “better things in life”.

Some people choose not to eat meat. Vegetarians often have more in common than just their diet. Their personalities might be similar too. For instance, vegetarians in the United States and Canada may be creative people, and they might not enjoy competitive sports or jobs. They worry about the health of the world, and they are probably strongly against the war.

Some people eat mostly fast food. One study shows that many fast-food eaters have a lot in common, but they are very different from vegetarians. They are competitive and good at business. They are also usually in a hurry. Many fast-food eaters might not agree with this description of their personalities, but it is a common picture of them.

Some people also believe that people of the same astrological sign（星座）have similar food personalities. Aries (born under the sign of Aries, between March 21 and April 20) usually like spicy foods, with a lot of onions and pepper. People with the sign of Taurus (April 21 to May 22) prefer healthful fruits and vegetables, but they often eat too much. Sagittarius (November 22 to December.22) like traditional food from many different countries.

What is your food personality?

   A. They want to show off their wealth.         B. Food can show off their social position.

   C. They want to enjoy better things in life.    D. They are wiser than any other persons.

45. A vegetarian may be a person________.

   A. who is believed to be a peace – lover        B. who values the importance of success

  C. who cares little about the future of the world  D. who shows his power to make money

   A. food is just a mirror of the human history   

   B. we can know a person from what he eats

   C. people are particular about the food they eat

When I first got an email account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have an endless series of advertisement and other correspondence that do not interest the at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need special laws that make spamming(發(fā)送垃圾郵件) a crime.
If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to spend hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?
This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam emails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail on for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passed on to the consumer.
For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.
【小題1】What does the underlined word “correspondence” in the Paragraph 1 probably mean?                                                          

A．messagesB．ideasC．connectionsD．programs
【小題2】According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam?       
A．Companies rely on e-mail for communications.
B．More people in the world communicate by e-mail.
C．Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.
D．More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.
【小題3】According to Paragraph 3,who is the final victim of spam?         
A．The businessB．The advertiser
C．The employeeD．The consumer

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2011年山東省高一階段檢測(cè)英語(yǔ)卷 題型：閱讀理解

A new walking, talking robot from Japan which has black hair and a woman’s face that can smile will attend a fashion show. It has trimmed down（減少）to 43kg, but it still hasn’t reached the safety standards required to share the catwalk with human models.

Developers at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, a government-backed organization, said their “cybernetic（全自動(dòng)控制的）human” wasn’t ready to help with daily housework or work side by side with people—as many hope robots will be able to do in the future.

“In technology, it hasn’t reached that level,” said Hirohisa Hirukawa, one of the robot’s developers. “Even as a fashion model, people in the industry told us she was short and had a rather ordinary figure.”

For now, the 158 cm tall black-haired robot named HRP-4C—whose predecessor（前任）had weighed 58 kg — will mainly serve to draw and entertain crowds. Developers said the robot may be used in amusement parks or to perform human movement, as an exercise instructor, for instance.

 HRP-4C was designed to look like an ordinary Japnese woman, although its silver-and-black body reminds people of a space suit. It will appear in a Tokyo fashion show — without any clothes — in a special part just for the robot next week.

The robotic framework（框架）for  HRP-4C, without the face and other coverings, will go on sale for about 20 million yen（日元） each. Its programming technology will be made public so other people can come up with fun moves for the robot, the scientists said.

Japan is one of the leading robotics industries in the world, and the government is pushing to develop the industry as a road to growth.

1.What do we know about HRP-4C’s predecessor?

A．It is shorter than HRP-4C .    B．It is cleverer than HRP-4C .

2.According to the passage, how many of the following could HRP-4C do?

a． drawing pictures

b.  walking and talking

c.  doing housework

d.  working with people

e.  smiling

A．2             B．3            C．4            D．5

3.Which of the following about HRP-4C is TURE?

A．It wears a space suit.          

B．Its price is 20 million dollars.     

C．It can be used as an exercise instructor.    

D．As a fashion model, it has a perfect figure.

4.HRP-4C’s programming technology will be made public to        .

A．make money                        B．make new frameworks     

C．let other people improve it           D．help make new face and coverings

5.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．The purpose of making HRP-4C.    B．Robotics industry in Japan.      

C．A new Japanese robot.                D．Japanese and robots.
