解析
小题1:本文第一句的含义为爱好基本上是你在空闲时间所做的一切事情,如养宠物,画画,栽花,弹钢琴,所以本句的含义为爱好还有去参加音乐会,爬山,钓鱼,滑冰和游泳,故本句空格处选D。 小题2:后句的含义为医生发现爱好有助于患疾病的人恢复健康,所以本句的含义为爱好也能够帮助别人保持健康,故本句空格处选B。 小题3:前句的含义为许多医院治疗病人是通过去除他们的爱好来进行,所以本句的含义为一个好的爱好不分年龄,健康和是否有钱,故本题空格处选E。 小题4:前句的含义为有空闲时间的一些人享受他们的爱好,如古埃及人用木制的球做游戏,故本句空格处选C。 小题5:前句的含义为机器减少了人们的工作时间,所以本句的含义为更多的人在更早的年龄退休,故本句空格处选A。 |

Shopping on the Internet is becoming more and more popular. Why do people use the Internet to shop? Some people say it is more convenient. They don’t have to leave their homes to order something; they can shop for anything they want at any time; they can find things for sale that they can’t find in the stores near their homes. Still other people say they can find better prices on the Internet. If you want to buy something on the Internet, you need a credit(信用) card. You have to type your credit card number and information on the website(网页) and send them to the store over the Internet. You have to be sure that the store will not use your information in the wrong way. You don’t want someone to get your credit card number, so be careful with it, beause people sometimes steal(窃取) credit card numbers from stores. The Internet is also a good place to go window-shopping. Window-shopping is when you look at the things for sale in a store, but don’t plan to buy anything. In window-shopping you can see what kinds of things you are able to get and how much they cost. Some stores like Ross Stores have a website for information about their stores, but not for shopping. Some stores have a website for information about their stores, and can shop on-line there, such as Office Depot, Payless Shoe Source, Safeway. Some stores like Amazon. com are only for on-line shopping. 小题1: Some people use the Internet to shop because ________.A.they can sleep all day long | B.they want to leave their homes | C.they want to play with their friends | D.they can get things with less money | 小题2:The Chinese meaning of the word “convenient” in this passage is “________”.小题3:If you want to shop on the Internet, you need ________.A.an ID card | B.a credit card | C.an IC card | D.a room card | 小题4: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

What do you do if you"re stranded(处于困境的)on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane. Body signals(信号) Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it"s safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend(弯曲)your knees. If you want to say that it"s not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side. Smoke signals The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it"s a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn"t hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you"re sure that it can"t spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke. Ground-to-air signals It"s a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols(标记). If you can"t find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are: F "I need food and water." II "I need medicine." I "I am badly hurt." X" I am unable to move from here." Pilots" replies If the pilot lowers the plane"s wings from side to side, this means "message received and understood". (At night, the pilot flashes the plane"s green lights.) If the pilots flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received but not understood".(At night, the pilot flashes the plane"s red lights.) However, there is no signal which means "message not received". Why not? 小题1: Which picture means "it"s not safe land"?
小题2: What can we learn from the passage?A.Swinging your arm from side to side means "yes". | B.If the ground is dark, light smoke can"t be seen. | C.If you need some medicine, make a symbol "II". | D.The pilots make replies with a blue light at night. | 小题3: What is the passage mainly about?A.The explanation of building signals on an island. | B.The importance of making signals on an island. | C.Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island. | D.Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island |
