Passage 1

　　 The Information Highway is the road that links computer users to a large number of on-line services: the Web, e-mail, and software, to mention just a few. Not long ago, the Information Highway was a new road, with not many users. Now, everyone seems to want to take a drive, with over 30 million families connected worldwide. Not surprisingly, this well-traveled highway is starting to look like a well-traveled highway. Traffic jams can cause many serious problems, forcing 　the system to close, down for repair. Naturally, accidents will happen on such a crowded road, and usually victims are some files, gone forever. Then, of Course, there's Mr. Cool, with his new broad-band connection, who speeds down the highway faster than most of us can go. But don't trick yourself; he pays for that speeding.

Passage 2

　　 Want to know more about global warming and how you can help prevent it? Doctor Herdman Friedman, who is considered a leading expert on the subject, will speak at Grayson Hall next Friday.

Friedman studied environmental science at three well-known universities around the world before becoming a professor in the subjects. He has also traveled around the world observing environmental concerns. The gradual bleaching (變白) of the Great Barrier Reef (大堡礁) , which came into the public eye in 2002, is his latest interest. Signed copies of his colorful book, which was published just last month, will be on sale after his talk.

Passage 1

　　There is something in the world．It has no shape, no color and no weight．It can’t be seen or touched．But everyone wants it very much．People try to get it in many ways．Some people think money means it, so they try to make more money; some people believe that knowledge can bring it to them, so they study very hard; some other people find only good health can make themselves get it, so they take part in all kinds of sports and games．Now, you may ask what on earth the mysterious thing is．That’s HAPPINESS．I can’t give you the exact meaning of happiness, but I’m sure if you love and help others, you’ll get it．

　　I’ll never forget an old lady．She lives in a small house alone．It’s said that her husband and her son died in a traffic accident．What a sorrowful life she has! But the old lady often helps others with a smile．Whenever it snows, she is always the first to clean the paths(小路)．She looks after several children living nearby．I am one of them．I often remember the stories she told us and her kind smile．Perhaps she is unlucky, but I think she is a happy person．Her life is full of laughter and love．

　　But I’m sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad ways．They speak loudly in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy trees to enjoy themselves and they laugh at others’ shortcomings．Perhaps they feel happy at that time, but they will never get true happiness because they have destroyed others’ happiness．

　　Now I know what happiness is．It means kindness, love and unselfishness．Above all, only bringing happiness to others can make yourself happy．

Passage 2

　　Happiness is the most precious thing in the world, which can be obtained in different ways．

　　From my point of view, being in a good mood anytime and anywhere is the first thing for those who want to be happy．There is an old saying going like this, “Happiness belongs to somebody who is content．” I still remember a story my mother told me when I was a child．A millionaire tries every means to seek after pleasure but to feel unhappy．But a poor man with nothing always feels happy．Why are they so different? The answer is that the rich man is always thinking how he can gain more while the poor man is satisfied with what he owns at hand－h(huán)ealth, freedom, love and so on．

　　Furthermore, if you have love in your heart, you will have happiness in your life．Love consists of two parts, one is to love others, and the other is to be loved by others．Lei Feng set a good example for all of us．He served the people whole-heartedly until the last minute of his life．He regarded serving the people as the happiest thing．There are numbers of similar inspirational stories to be found．In addition, being loved by others can also lead you to happiness．Courage from your parents when frustrated, care from your lover when ill, help from your friends when in trouble…all of these will make you the happiest person in the world．

　　The last but not least is to act happily．Putting on a happy face and thinking interesting things are helpful to trigger happy feelings．

While happiness is precious, it is easy to get．

閱讀下面短文并回答問題，然后將答案寫到答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上（請注意問題后的字數(shù)要求）。

[1]Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of correct answers. That question is “What's your name？”. Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct. Have you ever wondered about people's names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?

[2]People's first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents ___________________. A boy could be named George Washington Smith；a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.

[3]Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”； Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”；Donald means “world ruler”； Leonard means “as brave as a lion”．

[4]The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a brook (小溪); someone who was called Longstreet probably Lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.

[5]Other early surnames came from people's occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important  workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are：Carter—a person who owned or drove a cart；Potter—a person who made pots and pans. The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbours in their native village. The Carpenter's great­great­great­grandfather probably built houses and furniture.

[6]Sometimes_people_were_known_for_the_colour_of_their_hair_or_skin，or_their_size，or_their_special_abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.

[7]Some family names were made by adding something to the father's name. English­speaking people added ­s or ­son. The Johnsons are descendants of John;  the Roberts family's ancestor was Robert. Irish and  Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of  the MacDonnells and the McDonneils and the O'Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.

科目：高中英語 來源：2012屆福建省高二上學(xué)期期末模塊測試英語卷 題型：閱讀理解

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.

Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球場） in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.

There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.

Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.

1.Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?

　　A. Cycling around a lake.                             B. Motor racing in the desert.

　　C. Playing basketball in a gym.　　                  D. Swimming in a sports center.

2.What do we know about golf from the passage?

　　A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain.　　              

B. It causes water shortages in some areas.

　　C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.

　　D. It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.

3. The author writes the passage to_______.

　　A. show us the function of major sports

　　B. introduce different types of environment-friendly sports

　　C. discuss the major influence of popular sports

D. encourage us to go in for green sports
