36. B.      A 選項(xiàng)cause 意為“引起,使發(fā)生”;B 選項(xiàng)raise 意為“喚起,提高”;C 選項(xiàng)result 意為“結(jié)果,導(dǎo)致”;D 選項(xiàng) rise 意為“升起,增長(zhǎng)”。cause 不能和表程度的狀語(yǔ)almost to the point of panic 連用,故排除; result 和rise 均為不及物動(dòng)詞,其后不能跟賓語(yǔ)public concern, 故排除。

37. A.     本文主要講的是艾滋病這種疾病,即disease. 而sickness 是指“患病”這種狀態(tài)。

38. C.     focus 意為“集中,聚焦”,與on 搭配,意為“集中于”。

39. D.    根據(jù)本句句意和結(jié)構(gòu)可知,此處所缺的是引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句的連詞,先行詞是realization, 故選D.

40. C.     have an effect on … 表示 “對(duì)。。。有影響”。

41. B.      A 選項(xiàng)spend 意思雖然對(duì),但主語(yǔ)不能是事物(艾滋。 選項(xiàng)absorb 表示“吸收、占用”;C 選項(xiàng)connect 表示“連接、有聯(lián)系”;D 選項(xiàng)emphasize 表示“強(qiáng)調(diào)”。根據(jù)上下文可推知,艾滋病占用了大量的資金和資源。

42. D.     根據(jù)上下文,第一批10,000個(gè)病人花費(fèi)了14億,全國(guó)的總花費(fèi)是60億。

43. B.     add to 表示“增加”;come to 表示“達(dá)到,共計(jì)”;equal to 表 示“等于,勝任”;sum 常與up 搭配,表示“總計(jì),概括”。

44. A.      從上文可知,60億的錢(qián)花在了醫(yī)療,(艾滋病導(dǎo)致的)殘疾和喪失勞動(dòng)力上。

45. A.     私營(yíng)保險(xiǎn)公司都愿意為年輕人保險(xiǎn),因?yàn)樗麄儾蝗菀咨。但艾滋病卻不同,多數(shù)患者都是年輕人,所以保險(xiǎn)公司沒(méi)有為此危機(jī)做準(zhǔn)備。由此可知,此處應(yīng)為因果關(guān)系。選項(xiàng)A since 表示“因?yàn)椤薄?/p>

46. D.     available 表示“可利用的”;profitable 表示“有利可圖的”;unavoidable 表示“不可避免的”;difficult 表示“困難的”。根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)容可知,私營(yíng)保險(xiǎn)公司都不愿為高危人群提供保險(xiǎn),所以對(duì)他們來(lái)說(shuō)得到健康和人壽保險(xiǎn)也越來(lái)越難。

47. B.      absence 表示“缺席,缺乏”。根據(jù)上下文可知,私營(yíng)保險(xiǎn)公司會(huì)逐漸退出為高危人群提供保險(xiǎn),這就會(huì)導(dǎo)致資金缺乏,所以文章接著說(shuō),必須啟用公共基金。

48. C.     in conclusion 意為“最后,總之”;in fact 意為“事實(shí)上”;in addition 表示“另外,而且”;in short 表示“總而言之”。根據(jù)上下文,上文講到高危人群難于得到保險(xiǎn),下文講到許多患者被人拒絕,遭受歧視等,二者之間的邏輯關(guān)系應(yīng)為遞進(jìn)關(guān)系,因此C 為正確答案。

49. D.     根據(jù)本句中disapproving or frightened friends and family, without employment 等詞,可以推斷出:很多艾滋病病人并家庭、朋友和社會(huì)拒絕和拋棄,找不到工作。

50. B.     in need of 為固定詞組,意為“需要”。

51. B.      根據(jù)上下文,可知艾滋病人需要(社會(huì)、家庭、朋友等給他們以)精神和心理上的支持.

52. D.    field , area, 和world 通常與in 搭配,只有front 可與on 搭配,表示“在…. . 前沿”。

53. D.     上文表示“盡管現(xiàn)在已加速啟動(dòng)了研究項(xiàng)目”,所以下文應(yīng)該是“但是還沒(méi)有突破的跡象”。選項(xiàng)A 表示“希望”;選項(xiàng)B 表示“信號(hào)”;選項(xiàng)C 表示“見(jiàn)到”;只有選項(xiàng)D 表示“跡象”。

54. D.     選項(xiàng)A 表示“感興趣的”;選項(xiàng)B 表示“觀察,遵守”;選項(xiàng) C 表示“研究,學(xué)習(xí)”;選項(xiàng)D 表示“牽涉,涉及”。根據(jù)上下文意思可知,只有D 符合題意,即“其他沒(méi)有直接參與的人可以通過(guò)支持用于研究、醫(yī)院和服務(wù)機(jī)構(gòu)的公共基金來(lái)提供幫助!

55. B.      上一句說(shuō)到“希望其他沒(méi)有直接參與的人可以通過(guò)支持用于研究、醫(yī)院和服務(wù)機(jī)構(gòu)的公共基金來(lái)提供幫助”,這可以看作是一個(gè)號(hào)召,所以本句“公眾愿意提供關(guān)愛(ài)并為那些受難的人最終找到治愈方法的決心”應(yīng)該對(duì)這個(gè)號(hào)召作出的“最好的響應(yīng)”。選項(xiàng)A 表示“回答”。選項(xiàng)C 表示“鑰匙,答案”;選項(xiàng)D 表示“運(yùn)動(dòng),活動(dòng)”。

The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those who are new to it all, sometimes it can be confusing.

October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar. Universities have something called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life.

However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the prospect (前景) of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking (令人焦慮不安的). Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?

Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don’t rush into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years.

Here are some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers’ Week:

● Learn rules. Make sure you know British social etiquette (禮節(jié)). Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.

● Be kind. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.

● Be sociable. The more active you are, the more likely you’ll be to meet new people than if you’re someone who never leaves his room.

● Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you’re friendly.

So with a bit of clever planning and effort, Freshers’ Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you’ll be passing on your experience to next year’s freshers.

1.We can learn from the passage that ______.

A. Freshers’ Week usually comes in September in UK

B. all the students are required to join certain clubs in UK

C. many freshers are worried about how to fit university life

D. most of the students in the UK spend three years in universities

2.Why does the author suggest having wine glasses and snacks handy?

A. To pass the busy university life.

B. To help make friends with other freshers.

D. To enjoy the time in a happy way.

3.The main purpose of the passage is to _______.

A. tell the newcomers how to make a new start in universities

B. introduce something about higher education system of the UK

C. inform the freshers of British social etiquette

D. advise the freshmen how to behave well in the beginning

Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset if your English friends don't invite you home. It doesn't mean they don't like you! Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m., And end at about 11. Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as gift. Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks. Do you want to be extra polite? Say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember---- it's not polite to ask how much things cost. In many families, the husband sits at one end of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests.

You'll probably start meal with soup or something small, and then you have meat of fish with vegetables, and then desert, followed by coffee. It's polite to finish everything on your plate and have more if you want it. Did you enjoy the evening? Call your host and hostess the next day, or write them a short "thank you" letter.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2015屆河南省高一下學(xué)期第一次月考英語(yǔ)試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

Here are six steps to better studying.

Pay attention in class

Do you have trouble paying attention in class? Are you sitting next to a loud person? Tell your teacher or parents about any problem that is preventing you from paying attention.

Take good notes

Write down facts that your teacher mentions or writes on the board. Try to use good handwriting so you can read your notes later. It’s a good idea to keep your notes organized by subject.

Plan ahead for tests and projects

Waiting until Thursday night to study for Friday’s test will make it hard to do your best. One of the best ways to make sure that doesn’t happen is to plan ahead. Write down your test dates. You can then plan how much to do after school each day, and how much time to spend on each topic.

Break it up

Ask for help

You can’t study effectively if you don’t understand the material. Be sure to ask your teacher for help. If you’re at home when the confusion occurs, your morn or dad might be able to help.

Sleep tight

So the test is tomorrow and you’ve followed your study plan—but suddenly you can’t remember anything! Don’t panic. Your brain needs time to digest all the information you’ve given it. Try to get a good night’s sleep and you’ll be surprised by what comes back to you in the morning.

1.We know from the passage that a loud person is       .

A.a(chǎn) student who always answers questions loudly in class

B.someone who likes to talk with others in a loud voice

C.a(chǎn) student who likes speaking with others in class

A.read your notes over and over again

B.turn to people around you for help

C.put aside the material for later review

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2014屆廣西欽州市高二第一次月考英語(yǔ)試卷(解析版) 題型:其他題

閱讀下面短文并回答問(wèn)題(請(qǐng)注意問(wèn)題后的詞數(shù)要求 )

[1] You can never get to peace and security without first knowing all of the good things in your life. So you need to learn how to appreciate your life and here are some simple steps you can take to achieve this goal.

Work hard to have an attitude of gratitude.

[2] As you learn to appreciate the small things in your life, you’ll find a sense of happiness. You’ll also find it easier to appreciate the big things in your life, which will help you appreciate your life as a whole.

[3] To begin with, find five things to be grateful for each day. Call this your “Gratitude List,” and write it down before bedtime. At first,      to find even just five things to be grateful for. That’s okay. You won’t learn how to appreciate your life over night, just like you didn’t become dissatisfied over night either. List small things, and go from there. The longer you keep a “Gratitude List,” the easier it will be to find things to put on it. Soon you’ll be able to list more things than you thought!

Learn to appreciate others.

[4] Take note when someone does something nice for you. If anyone does a job that’s normally yours, stop and thank them sincerely. Value the moment, and look for other opportunities to find the good in others. This will help you appreciate the people around you, who are also part of your life.

Appreciate yourself.

[5] This can be extremely hard, especially with all the criticism we hear from others. Appreciation also includes respect and you can’t appreciate or truly enjoy your life if you don’t respect yourself . So, think of one small thing you can appreciate about yourself every day, and take the time to really enjoy it. Be thankful for it, and know you’re learning how to really appreciate your life.

[6] It takes 30 fays of doing something before it becomes a habit. But after this, keeping a “Gratitude List,” appreciating others, and admiring yourself will become second nature to you. In no time, you’ll realize you know how to appreciate your life.

1.What is the main idea of the text?(no more than 10 words)

                                                                           

2.Complete the following statement with words from Paragraph 2.(no more than 5 words)

                                                                           

3.How can we learn to appreciate others around us?(no more than 10 words)

                                                                           

4.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words.(no more than 4 words)

                                                                           

5.What does the word “it”(Line 4, Paragraph 5 ) probably refer to?(no more than 4 words)
