15、 BDBAD BCDBA DCABD 阅读理解 Travel is exciting and summer is a busy period for holiday travel. Many people will travel great distances in airplanes, cars or other vehicles. Experts say people should know about other health problems that can strike when traveling by air. One of these is a condition calle
16、d hypoxia (缺氧症 ). It results from a lack of oxygen to the brain. Experts say the body begins losing oxygen minutes after an airplane leaves the ground. The air pressure in a plane during flight is lower than at sea level. This makes it more difficult for the body to effectively use the same amount o
17、f oxygen as it would on the ground. Fewer oxygen molecules （分子） cross the tissues (组织 ) in the lungs and reach the bloodstream. The result is a five to twenty percent drop in the amount of oxygen in the blood. This reduces the amount of oxygen that reaches the organs of the body. One effect of this
18、lack of oxygen to the brain is a headache. When this happens, the heart attempts to fix the situation by beating harder and faster. This can make the traveler feel tired. These signs of hypoxia are not dangerous in a healthy person. But a drop in oxygen level can cause a health emergency in people w
19、ith heart or lung problems. They might lose consciousness or even suffer a heart attack. Experts say that smoking cigarettes and drinking alcoholic liquids also reduce the bodys ability to use oxygen. So they suggest that people not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes either before or during a flight.
20、 They also say persons with heart or lung problems should seek advice from their doctors before flying. 【小题 1】 The author writes the passage mainly to _. A warn people in airplanes of possible dangers B offer some advice on avoiding health problems C explain the causes and effects of hypoxia D advis

24、 2】 A 【小题 3】 D 【小题 4】 A 【小题 5】 D Most Americans believe that someone isnt grown-up until the age of 26 and they should complete their education, have a full-time job, have a family to support and be financially independent. They also believe that becoming a real grown-up is a process which begins at
25、 about the age of 20 and takes about five years, according to the report from the University of Chicagos National Opinion Research Center. The findings are based on a representative sample of 1,398 people over the age of 18 who were surveyed in person. The survey found that people expect the transit
26、ions to grown-up status to be completed at the following ages: age 20.9 self-supporting; age 21.1 no longer living with parents; age 21.2 having a full-time job; age 22.3 education completed; age 24.5 being able to support a family financially; age 25.7 getting married; and age 26.2 having a child.
27、“There is a large degree of agreement across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,” said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only obvious pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having children and getting married. Older adults consider these mor
28、e important than younger adults do. This probably shows in large part a change in values across generations away from traditional family values. The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, is completing education, followed by full-time employment, supporting a family, financial
29、 independence, living independently, and marriage. 【小题 1】 According to the first paragraph, someone is a grown-up when he _. A has found a full-time job B has finished his study in university C can make money and support himself after completing his education D can support a family and be financiall

D Completing education means being grown-up. 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 A 【小题 4】 B 【小题 5】 B Japanese students work very hard but many are very unhappy. They feel great pressure from their parents to do well in
33、school and in college. Most students are always being told by their parents to study harder so that they can have successful future. Although this may be good advice for those who are very bright, it can have very bad results for many students who are not quick enough at learning. Unfortunately, a n
34、umber of students actually kill themselves. Others are after comfort in using drugs. Some students, however, do bad things with groups of bad people and turn to crime. Many of them have tried very hard at school but, in spite of all their tries, have failed in certain examinations and have disappoin
35、ted their parents. Such students feel that they are less important than everyone else they meet and leave school before they finish their study. It is surprising that although most Japanese parents are anxious for their children to do well at school, they do not help them in any way. Many parents fe
36、el that they are unable to help their children with their lessons and that it is the teachers job to help their children. To make matter worse, a lot of parents send their children to special schools called juku-cram schools. These schools are open during the evenings and on weekends, and their only
37、 purpose is to prepare students to pass exams; they do not try to educate students in any real sense of the world. Thus comes a shock to realize that almost three quarters of the junior high school students attend these cram schools. Ordinary Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from
38、 the length of students hair to their clothes and things in their school bags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules often lead to a feeling of being unsafe and being unable to fit into society. They believe that no sense of moral(道德 ) values is developed and that students are given n
39、either guidance nor training in becoming good citizens. 【小题 1】 Many Japanese students are unhappy at school because . A the school work is too much B their teachers are too strict with them C their parents put much pressure on them D they cant get on well with their friends 【小题 2】 How many unexpecte
40、d things will some of Japanese students do when they are not doing well in their studies A Two B Four C Six D Eight 【小题 3】 Whats some experts opinion about Japanese school rules A They are a set of effective rules. B They can help the students to be useful persons. C They are bad for the development
41、 of each student. D They stress the importance of sense of moral values. 【小题 4】 According to the third paragraph, who have not tried their best A The schools. B The students. C The teachers. D The parents. 【小题 5】 choose the best title for this passage: A. Poor students in Japan B. poor students in c
42、ampus in Japan C. wrong educational system in Japan D How to develop a student 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 2】 B 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4】 D 【小题 5】 C When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said“the phone”. Personally, I could do with
43、out the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology. Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spen
44、ds an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,”says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the
45、 A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车 ) to her rescue. Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of day to ask wher
46、e they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went. Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so nearbut we didnt meet for the first two weeks!” Po
47、int 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously ( 同时地 ) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldnt know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while t
48、heyre space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(进入 ) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth. 【小题 1】 How do you understandPoint 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate,6 ？ A People dont communicate without telephone. B People communicate because of the creating of the telephone. C People communicate more since telephone has been created. D People communicate m
