　　(2024·陕西省质量检测二)Ive always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed. What I remember most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock as we silently ate our meal. I was quick to regard his family as cold. However, once, when we were about to drive home, my boyfriend’s father appeared and began to wash the windshield (挡风玻璃). I could sense that his dad was a caring man.

　　I learned another lesson about love later. My father often telephoned me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. Its a good share price，” he would say when I answered the phone. My dad offered no pleasant greeting or inquiry (询问) about my life. This angered me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my fathers success and realized his concern for my financial security showed how much he loved me. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock (股票), I thanked him.

　　The way I treat my friends is sometimes different from how they treat me. For example, I always return phone calls without delay and regularly check in with old friends. I had one friend who rarely called, responding to my messages with short e­mails. “She isn’t a good friend！” I thought. My anger grew as the holidays approached. Then she came to a gathering I hosted and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we last went window­shopping. I was shocked at her kindness, and felt bad for thinking her uncaring. Clearly I needed to change my expectations.

　　Far too often, I ignore unique expressions, eagerly expecting people to do things my way. This has left me feeling unloved. Over the years, however, I have learned to read others? love signs better and get along well with them.

　　(2024·河北省邢台市摸底考试)Sunstroke is a condition that can quickly go from dangerous to deadly, especially if proper care isnt given immediately.

　　Sunstroke, sometimes called heatstroke, is a result of the body temperature rising above the safe limit. This causes the body?s necessary functions to stop working.

　　It?s usually pretty easy to avoid sunstroke, as long as proper

　　action is taken. In that case, you need to act as quickly as possible to return that person?s body to a safe temperature. Here are a few tips to help treat sunstroke.

　　Call for help

　　Call to get an ambulance as quickly as possible. This should be the first thing you do, especially if the sunstroke person has fainted (昏倒). Also, call for help from anyone nearby if you’re in a public place. If there’s no one around, call someone nearby if they can get there sooner than an ambulance. Ask everyone to bring you as much water as possible, if there isn?t much nearby.

　　Get the person to a cooler area

　　If there?s a building nearby, aim for that. Anywhere with plenty of air conditioners and water is perfect. If a building isn?t available, bring the person to a well­shaded area.

　　Get the water flowing

　　If the person is still conscious, get him or her to drink water. If there?s a bathtub available, fill it with cool water and put the person in it.

　　If your water supply is limited, you have to save it. Dampen a towel or shirt and put it on the person?s body. Focus on the face, neck, and chest.

　　Fan the person

　　Getting moving air over the person cools him or her down. Use anything, a towel or sheet, a shirt, your hands, or a piece of board. This is where having many people around really helps, as they can combine to fan the entire body.

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中暑的危害以及中暑后的一些急救措施。

　　(2024·东城区综合练习二)Small seating in the economy­class (经济舱) sections of airplanes is not just uncomfortable but potentially life­threatening. Space has become so tight that passengers cannot protect themselves in the event of a crash.

　　A report on a long distance flight from the doctors of Vienna stated that only 10% in economy class could adopt the recommended brace position on the plane?s safety tips in case of emergency, and they were the smallest of the group. And 30% of their fellow passengers traveling in first class could adopt the position, which is internationally recognized as improving the chances of survival in the event of a crash. The authors of the report are now calling for greater space between seat rows to increase safety.

　　A spokesman for British Airways (BA), which is responsible for safety on all British planes, opposed the idea that small seating was a threat (威胁) to passengers. “We don’t think it is a safety matter，” he said, “We have high safety standards and all UK aircraft meet them.” In the past month, both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic introduced sleeper seats, stressing the outstanding comfort in the front of the planes. But that space gained is space lost in economy.

　　Until recently, economy class was at least “bearable” — with an 86­centimeter seat. Scheduled Airlines such as BA and KLM gave passengers enough leg room and comfortable seats. But the arrival of new, weight­saving seats caused economy class to take a turn for the worse. Extra rows have been put into the plane, with the result that the average seat now is 79 centimetres. Singapore Airlines has become the latest carrier to narrow down its seats. It

　　announced free wine for economy passengers last September, but at the same time reduced leg room by 8 centimetres.

　　Economy class on Scheduled Airlines is now often little better than economy on Qatar Airways. Some Qatar Airways even offer the chance to upgrade — at a price — to seats which, at 89－91 centimetres, are roomier than those of most Scheduled Airlines.

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要介绍了飞机经济舱的座位的空间大小对乘客安全的影响。

　　9．What can we learn from the passage?

　　A．Scheduled Airlines produced new comfortable seats for economy class.

　　B．Doctors from Vienna said less space between seats could cause danger.

　　C．Spokesman for BA declared that narrow seat space was a threat.

　　D．Qatar Airways offered larger seats with no more charge.

　　解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第一段第二句及第二段第一句中的“doctors of Vienna stated that only 10% in economy class could ... in case of emergency”可推知，维也纳的医生认为飞机上座位之间的空间变小会导致危险发生。故选B。

　　10．What might be the authors attitude towards reducing the space of economy seats?

　　A．Neutral.

　　B．Sceptical.

　　C．Supportive.

　　D．Disapproving.

　　解析：选D　观点态度题。文章第一段指出了作者的观点：经济舱的座位不仅不舒适而且还会造成潜在的生命威胁，飞机上座位之间的空间变小会导致乘客在飞机失事的时候不能保护自己，所以作者不赞成缩小经济舱的座位空间。故选D。

　　11．Where does the passage most probably come from?

　　A．A biography.

　　B．A book review.

　　C．A magazine.

　　D．A realistic novel.

　　解析：选C　文章出处题。这篇文章主要介绍了飞机座位间的空间大小对乘客安全的影响，应该是来源于一本杂志。故选C。

　　D

　　(2024·衡水一中高三模拟)In a computer age, a broadband Internet connection is very popular now. Whether cable or mobile broadband, todays connections are many times faster than those in the early days. Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly, and files download much faster than ten years ago. And the files are much bigger too.

　　There’s a hidden problem: you have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don’t, it’s slow dial­up access for you. And for those living really far away, there may be no Internet access at all.

　　Technology experts often talk about the “last mile” problem, which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations. In cities and suburbs (郊区), it’s relatively easy to provide access for everyone. It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities, especially in developing countries. Internet service providers, for their part, have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely (稀疏地) populated areas. The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn’t cover the expense.

　　But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren’t available everywhere.

　　Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper and more efficient fiberoptic cables (光缆) promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users. Still, the “last mile” problem remains hard to deal with. There will always be somewhere that doesn’t have an affordable broadband connection. But someday that might not matter. If the rapid progress in cellphone technology has any indication, it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.

　　语篇解读：如今互联网发展迅速，这使得越来越多的人能够用上网络。但是在偏远地区，互联网的接入仍然是个问题，文章就如何解决这一问题给出了说明。12．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．Internet connections have been popular everywhere.

　　B．Internet service providers are willing to care about rural customers.

　　C．The problem of Internet access hasnt been completely dealt with.

　　D．Computers cant become popular in developing countries.

　　解析：选C　正误判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，离大城市较远的地区有可能根本无法使用互联网，即互联网的接入问题还没有完全得到解决，故选C项。

　　13．Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that technological advancements ________.

　　A．make TV and telephone available everywhere

　　B．bring great change to people’s everyday life

　　C．bring faster Internet connections to users

　　D．make it possible for more people to use the Internet

　　解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第四段的第一句“But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users.”可知，科技的进步使得越来越多的人可以使用互联网，故选D项。

　　14．What may eventually settle the “last mile” problem?

　　A．The broadband connections getting faster.

　　B．The rapid progress in cellphone technology.

　　C．More and more Internet connections.

　　D．More and more Internet users.

　　解析：选B　细节理解题。根据最后一段的最后一句“If the rapid progress ... you wherever you go.”可知，如果手机科技的飞速进步有任何的迹象，用不了太久，互联网的接入就将跟着你到任何地方，故选B项。

　　15．The best title for this passage may be “________”．

　　A．Internet Connection Problems

　　B．Internet Connections Need Improving

　　C．Progress in Internet Connections

　　D．Internet Connections Today

　　解析：选A　标题归纳题。文章讲述了在因特网迅速发展的今天，也存在问题，即部分偏远地区还不能使用互联网，最后介绍了如何解决这一问题，故A项“因特网连接问题”最适合作文章标题。
