題目列表(包括答案和解析)

When many of us take a vacation, more than anything, we seek to relax. We spend long, lazy days on a beach chair or in a hammock(吊床). But too often, we return home, tired.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
In fact active vacations are often the most relaxing of all. We don’t expect you to take up jogging(慢跑), or climbing. Rather, we ask the sedentary(久坐的) vacations among you to spend two to four hours a day doing things, such as walking in the city street, going to a zoo or biking along the ocean.
These kinds of activities aren’t just good for your physical health. They improve your mental health, even your spiritual health. Here are some fresh ideas to make your vacations as pleasurable as they are active and healthy.
A walk at dawn or dusk helps keep you young. Try to make this a daily habit of life when you’re away from home, and you will guarantee yourself both physical and spiritual refreshment.
Don’t allow yourself to spend all your time sitting in front of water. Whether it is the ocean, a swimming pool, or a tree-lined lake, make sure you get into the water for swimming or games, or even walking. Merely standing in waist-high water is a good workout, thanks to the action of the water. And you’ll feel so much more active!
Many of us spend a large chunk of our vacation on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car for sightseeing. But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great, memorable vacations don’t happen in a car seat. Frequently get out and stretch, walk, picnic, shop, visit, and have fun. It’s important for your health and energy, and it makes traveling a lot more active and interesting

You’re rushing to work and a man ahead of you collapses on the sidewalk. Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people avert their gaze and keep on  walking rather than stop and get involved.

“There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed.” says a psychologist. “The first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help. In order to take action, you have to work against them.” Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping.

● Why should I be the one? I’m probably not the most competent person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance.

● What if he doesn’t really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others.

● No one else looks concerned- this must not be a problem. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.

“If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on,” says the psychologist. “Then retry to involve other people; you don’t have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes it’s just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, ‘It looks like we should do something.’ Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you.”

56. Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others?

A.I’m not the very person capable of setting the problenu.

B.It looks like we should do something.

C.It must not be a problem as no one else is concerned.

D.He doesn’t really need my help.

57. According to a study of by-standers, what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk?

A.They will call for help and then walk away.

B. They will stop and offer help.

C. They will turn away their eyes and go on walking.

D.They will laugh at him.

58. We learn from the last paragraph that if we spot ttouble,           ．

A. we sbould call the ambulance as soon as we can.

B. we should take on the whole responsibility and do something alone.

C. we should stop and evaluate the situation and try to make other people follow.

D.we should turn to other people and ask them to take on the responsibility

59. In order to offer others your timely help, you need to        ．

A. ask others for help and call the police

B.get along well with the passers-by who spot the trouble

C. go directly to the police station

D.work against the rirst thoughts that prevent you offering help

60. The main purpose of the text is to tell readers        ．

A.to give others a hand                       B. to be more competent

　　Lest year more than one million Filipinos worked abroad as servants, nurses, sailors and in other difficult but low paid jobs．Southeast Asians leave their poorer countries for their richer neighbours．

　　Many of these wage earners return in the end．In the meantime, they send home huge amounts of money-in the Philippines’ case, over 10％ of its GDP．Between January and November, the amount was up 18％ on the same period of 2005, Poverty and unemployment are still bigh in the Philippines and other labour exporring(勞務(wù)輸出)countries．They would be far worse but for this outflow of bodies and inflow of doflars As for those Asian countries that inport(輸入)labour,as in Europe, falling birth rates mean they are going to need more foreign workers．

　　On Jamuary 13th leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)signed an agreement to help migrant(流動(dòng)的)workers-with the realization that the flow of labour between their countries is a growing problem that they cannot blame on outsiders．A 2005 study showed that 8．4 million Southeast Asians worked outside their home countries, but this did not include the huge numbers of Indonesians doing so without papers．So the true total is probably rather higher．

　　People in the receiving countries seem to be worried about competition for their jobs．Most Thais said theit government should admit(準(zhǔn)入)no more foreign workers, and a few thought otherwise．Even in Singapore,just over ball of people are against adunitting more foreign workers．Malaysians think that the incrcase in foreign workers has worsened crime rates(犯罪率)．

　　The trees arrived by post, a halfopen parcel．They were thin and straight, rather like arrows but with shiny leaves at one end and muddy roots at the other．Terry and his father took them down the garden and planted them in their prepared places．Terry had great hopes of the middle trees, now set in the holy spot where Henry, his cat, run over, had been laid to rest a year before．The nine trees made an avenue down one side of the garden, where there was already a fifteenfoot stonewall between the garden and the back yards of the Jenkins Street houses．

　　“Why do we want a row of trees as well as a wall,”Terry asked his father．

　　His father said,“For privacy．These trees grow very thickly．”

　　His father’s love of privacy often puzzled Terry, who was not one to keep himself to himself, but he could see part of the point here．The houses in Jenkins Street were on higher ground．His friend Leslie lived in number twelve, and Leslie had only to stand on a box to see right over the wall．

　　“Will the trees grow higher than the wall?”Terry asked then．

　　“Oh yes, twice as high if not more．It’ll take a few years but they’ll grow．”

　　So they were going to have nine trees thirty feet tall, to keep them from being overlooked．Terry wondered why this was so desirable．He said,“Our garden is very pretty．Why can’t we let the people over the wall see it?That wouldn’t be showing off, would it?”

　　“No, I don’t think it would be,”his father said．“Yet some people might feel a bit less happy if they can always see a good thing that isn’t theirs．We don’t want to be the cause of any jealousy if we can help it．”

　　This consideration for other people’s feelings must be a grown-up thing, Terry thought．It was not his idea of how to run things．He said,“These trees－it seems a lot of trouble to go to just to stop people being jealous of us．”

　　His father looked at him．“It isn’t much trouble, Terry,”he said．“These trees will grow without help from us．They’ll be beautiful．And listen to them．You can already hear them whispering to us in the wind．”

(1)

How do we know that Terry’s father was expecting the trees?

[　　]

A．

B．

He expected them because they arrived by post．

B．

To improve the appearance of the house．

C．

To hide the ugly sight of Jenkins Street．
