Dear Dr Fang,
How are you? I am writing to ask for some   36  about how to help my 15-year-old son. At the moment, he refuses to do almost anything his mother and I ask him to do. He is our only child and we treat him very   37 . Though his grandparents buy him many things, yet he is still   38  to them and often shouts at them. He also   39  to spend time with us or do as we tell him.
Recently, he has been refusing to do his homework, and instead insists on   40  his time listening to foreign music. I cannot understand that   41 , and I don’t like it. Meanwhile, he spends too much time in Internet cafes, where he either plays games   42  chats on the Internet. He is wasting valuable time during this   43  period in his life!
What shall I do? I am worried about it.   44  I keep allowing him to do what he wants, he may fail at school, or worse. How can I help my son   45  hurting our feelings?
Best regards

You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.
The designer says he come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(傘蓬)built into a street lamp.” he said.
The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(傳感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the biberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.
While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.
小題1:For what purpose did Belyacv create the lampbrella?
A.To predict a heavy rain B.To check the weather forecast
C.To protect people from the rain D.To remind people to take an umbrella
小題2:What do we know from Belyacv’s words in Paragraph2?
A.His creation was inspired by an experience
B.it rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg
C.Street lamps are protected by canopies
D.He enjoyed taking walks in the rain
小題3:Which of the following show how the lampbrella works?
A.motor→canopy→sensors B.Sensors→motor→canopy
C.motor→sensors→canopyD.canopy→motor→sensors
小題4:What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?
A.Its moving speed B.Its appearance
C.Its installation D.Its safety
小題5:What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.The designer will open a company to promote his product
B.The lampbrella could be put into immediate production
C.The designer is confident that his creation is practical
D.The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow

科目:高中英語 來源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

Certain animals know without analysis the difference between a number of objects and a smaller number. In his book The Natural History of Selbourne (1786), the naturalist Gilbert White tells how he surreptitiously removed one egg a day from a kind of bird Plover’s nest, and how the mother laid another egg each day to make up for the missing one. He notes that other kinds of birds ignore the loss of a single egg, but if more than one egg has been removed, they will give up their nests. It has also been noted that a certain type of bees always provides five—never four, never six—caterpillars (毛蟲) for each of their eggs so that their young have something to eat when the eggs have hatched out. Research has also shown that both mice and pigeons can be taught to distinguish between odd (奇數(shù)) and even (偶數(shù)) numbers of food pieces.
These have led some people to think that creatures can actually count. They also point to dogs that have been taught to respond to questions about numbers with the correct number of barks.
Animals respond to quantities only when they are connected to survive as in the case of the eggs, or survive as in the case of food. They can “count” only when the objects are present and only when the numbers involved are small—no more than seven or eight. In lab experiments, animals which are trained to count one kind of objects were unable to count any other type. What interests them are the objects, not the numbers. Animals’ achievements simply are not equal to evidence of counting. They only show the results of clever, careful training.
小題1:The author refers to Gilbert’s book in paragraph 1 in order to_______.
A.support the idea that animals can count
B.show attitudes have changed since 1786
C.prove that some animals are aware of quantities
D.indicate that more research is needed in this field
小題2:The author mentions all of the following are aware of quantities in some way EXCEPT _______.
A.caterpillarsB.bees
C.miceD.plovers
小題3:The underlined word “surreptitiously” probably means _______.
A.quicklyB.carefully
C.occasionallyD.secretly
小題4:Where does this text probably come from?
A.A news report.B.A science fiction.
C.A park guide.D.A biology magazine.

A. Be brave in your requests
B. You get what you tolerate
C. Don’t feel guilty of your requests
D. Don’t think others are mind readers
E. Don’t make a “no” mean more than it does
F. Be specific about what you want and when you want it
Be Bold: Ask for What You Really Want!
Have you ever been in a situation that is causing you to feel annoyed, frustrated, or unappreciated? We all experience them, but often we don’t have the courage to change them or ask for what we really want. Complaining about your problems never solves them. Only when you get clear about what you want, and are willing to ask for it, will you experience not only a lot less stress in your life, but greater success in your relationship, career and life. Here are five tips to help you on your way.
小題1:________________
We often think our bosses, colleagues and even our friends can understand our thought even without being told. So when they don’t act as we’d like, we feel hurt and upset. For any relationship to develop, both parties have to communicate their needs. Whether it’s how you’d like your colleague to communicate with you about a work project, or how you’d like your boss to assess your work, it’s necessary to convey what you want.
小題2:________________
When asking for what you really want, you will seldom, if ever, be given more than what you have the courage to ask for. So don’t weaken your requests to avoid being turned down. Think about what your ideal outcome would be and then confidently, courageously, ask for it. While you may not always get as much as you asked for, you will get more than you would have otherwise.
小題3:________________
In the workplace, the biggest reason for unmet expectations is a lack of understanding of exactly what is expected. A request that holds water needs to make clear not just what you want, but also the time limit within which you want it. That is, both a clear “what” and “when”. For example, “Could you please get the monthly sales report to me by midday Friday?
小題4:________________
Whether it’s asking your friend to show up on time, or asking your colleague to stop making jokes in your presence, every day, through what you say and do, you teach others how to treat you. Letting others know what you will (and will not)put up with and what you expect from them, is important to your wellbeing and success—at home and work.
小題5:________________
In reality you won’t always get what you ask for. Your boss won’t always give you the pay raise you’d like and your parents may not agree to mind your three kids every second weekend. When people say no, you can take it really personally and decide never to speak to them again—or you can accept it graciously and move on. At least now you know where you stand and can plan accordingly.
Asking for less than you really want—from yourself, from others and from life—doesn’t serve anyone. Remember that fortune favors the bold. So make bigger, better, bolder requests, and ask for what you really want. Who knows…you might just get it!

Few of us act alone in the real world. Most things are done with the help or ideas of other people. Group projects are great practice for high school, college, and real life, when you will probably have a job that requires working with others. Right now, group projects can be fun and they often allow you to do a bigger, more interesting project than you could alone. With group work, you can actually learn more in less time.
Group projects also give you a chance to get to know kids you might not otherwise know or talk with. Group projects are also a great way to practice skills you’re not so sure of. For example: working on a deadline, staying organized, or being patient. And if you’re a little nervous talking in front of a group, a joint project can help you become more comfortable with it. Maybe your group will pick you to tell the whole class about your project. If so, you’ll know your whole group is rooting for you!
One of the most important things about group work is talking and meeting together. It’s a good idea to continually check with everybody on their progress to see if anyone needs help. You might think the first step is to figure out who will do what, but actually it’s getting to know another a little. Take a few minutes to chat. Even if you know each other well, it can help to take a minute to think about your skills and share your strengths and weaknesses. The second step is to go over ground rules from your teacher and any that you want to create together as a group.
小題1:Group projects can give you a chance to do the following EXCEPT ________.
A.get to know more friendsB.learn more than you do alone
C.work in an organized wayD.get rid of shyness forever
小題2:The underlined phrase “root for” in the second paragraph means _______.
A.likeB.supportC.offerD.prevent
小題3:What’s the purpose in checking others’ progress?
A.To learn what they will do next.
B.To find good topics to talk with them about.
C.To help them when they need help.
D.To make sure that their work is finished on time.
小題4: According to the passage, we can infer that _______.
A.group members should be your close friends
B.talking with group members should be the first step of group work
C.knowing persons is more important than your projects
D.rules from teachers are more important than working among group members

It was your birthday, and you just opened your biggest gift — a smooth silver laptop. You can’t wait to instant-message your friends with the news, but first you have to get rid of your old desktop computer. Do you just throw away the monitor and keyboard in the trash? Not anymore!
Three states, that is, California, Maine, and Maryland, recently passed laws prohibiting people from throwing away electronic waste, or e-waste, includes televisions, computers, and cell phones. Although they don’t make you sick when you use them, they do when they are destroyed, for they contain heavy metals that can be harmful to human bodies. For example, cell phone batteries contain a kind of chemical causing damage to kidneys and deserted computer monitors can damage brains. And flat TV screens may cause injury to the nervous system. Those metals can leak into the ground or give off pollutants when burned.
It is required that e-waste be placed at special sites rather than usual landfills. Several other states are considering similar laws and California is also pushing for a law banning the application of such dangerous substances.
Government officials are not the only people taking aim at e-waste; environmentalists are also urging people to recycle their outdated equipment.
“It is just a waste … to not recycle,” Patrick, an associate professor of occupational and environmental health at university of Iowa, told The Daily Iowan, “Allowing dangerous chemicals to leak into the environment for decades seems irresponsible.”
What Can You Do?
Reduce. Be a responsible shopper, and take care of your electronics so they will last longer.
Re-use. Donate or sell your old high-tech equipment.
Recycle. To find a responsible recycler, contact a local or state environmental group.
小題1:What’s the best title of this passage?
A.E-waste is being made good use of.
B.E-waste, a big threat to us.
C.E-waste is dangerous to us all the while.
D.Goodbye, e-waste.
小題2:Why is e-waste harmful and dangerous to human beings?
A.Because they can go off at times and threaten us.
B.Because they can make people sick, as long as people use them.
C.Because they contain poisonous chemical substances.
D.Because they take too much space when placed in trashes.
小題3:What can we know from Patrick’s words?
A.Waste can’t be recycled.
B.Waste can be made use of by recycling
C.We have to recycle e-waste to protect the environment.
D.Protecting the environment is important.
小題4:Which of the following is NOT given as a piece of advice to help with e-wastes?
A.Taking care of your electronics so they will last longer.
B.Donating or selling your old high-tech equipment.
C.Contacting a local or state environmental group.
D.Asking fewer people to use electric products.

The search for life in the universe took a step forward last month with the opening of the Allen Telescope Array(艾倫望遠鏡陣列) in Hat Creek, California. The telescopes were partly made possible by a gift of twenty-five million dollars from Paul Allen. The total cost of the project is already fifty million dollars.
At present, there are 42 radio telescopes working at the Hat Creek observatory. The signals they receive are combined to create what is equal to a single, very large telescope. The telescope will be used to observe objects like exploding stars, black holes and other objects that are predicted but have not yet been observed. Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute says this is the first telescope whose main purpose is to search for signals from intelligent life in space. The SETI Institute is based in Mountain View, California. The organization supports the search for other life forms in the universe.
What makes the Allen Telescope Array unusual is that it can collect and study information from a wide area of the sky. In addition, the 42 telescopes can study information about several projects at the same time. That means studies of large areas of the sky can be made faster than ever before.
Some officials think the Allen Telescope Array will be completed in three more years. 350 individual radio telescopes are planned. The new abilities of the Allen Telescope Array will make searching for stars similar to the sun much faster.
An earlier search by SETI, Project Phoenix, studied about 800 stars to a distance of 240 light years. The project ended in 2004. With the Allen Telescope Array, astronomers hope to gather thousands of times more information in the search for life beyond our planet.
小題1:The main purpose of the Allen Telescope Array is          .
A.to serve for the research of weather predication
B.to prepare for the wars against life from the universe
C.to search for signals from intelligent life in space
D.to observe exploding stars, black holes and other objects
小題2:From this passage we know that         .
A.the 42 radio telescopes at Hat Creek observatory can work together
B.the total cost of the project came from Paul Allen
C.Hat Creek observatory can receive signals from all parts of the worm
D.Hat Creek observatory is operated by an American named Paul Allen
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?
A.The Allen Telescope Array takes much more room than former telescopes.
B.The Allen Telescope Array is still being built at present in the United States.
C.Another 42 radio telescopes will be fixed in the Allen Telescope Array.
D.The SETI Institute is against the search for other life forms in the universes.
小題4:With the help of the Allen Telescope Array,         .
A.a(chǎn)stronomers can gather more information than before from other planets
B.humans will have more chances to live on other planets than before
C.humans will be able to find more natural resources on other planets
D.scientists will be able to find more natural resources from other planets
