19、 She is the first Chinese woman to win aNobel Prize.Billie Holiday(1915-1959)Billie Holiday is often described as a genius.

Holiday taught Americans to question their segregated society.Virginia Woolf (1882-1941)Virginia Woolf was one of the most important writers of the 20th cent

21、ury. Her stream-of-consciousness (意識流)writing style deeply influenced modern writing.Stream-of-consciousness focuses on theflow”of thoughts and inner feelings of a particular character.

The go

26、od news is that this year will be longer than the previous! Although dont get excited just yet, because if you blink (眨眼), you may just miss it. Thats because 2015 will be one second longer than 2014 also known as a leap second (閏秒). And surprisingly, they are pretty common. But why do we need them?

27、Over the centuries, Earth has been slowing down. This means that we must keep changing our clocks to keep in step with Earths time. Weve all heard of leap years. Our calendars hold 365 days in a year. Yet Earth takes slightly longer to orbit the sun. So we save this time and every 4 years we have an

28、 extra day in February.As for the leap seconds, the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) manages the global time, known as the atomic time(原子鐘時間).

32、day longer than the previous one. BIt causes some recording errors for companies.CIt makes people stay up late. DIt does harm to peoples health.C15、Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have noidea where you are. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is

33、cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device (裝置) which uses satellites (衛(wèi)星) to find the users position(位置). It can find your position to within 20 me ters. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you wi

34、ll know where you are.GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices h

35、ave electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group

36、 of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates (計算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.Some people think that

37、 in the future the GPS will be as common as the mo bile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate. There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.1According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, peop

38、le _.Acant be lost in a new cityBcant find their way in different countriesCcan learn about the culture of an unknown placeDcan spend the least time getting to another place2We can learn from the passage that _.Athere are three parts to the GPSBa GPS cant be put into a watchCa GPS can help you start

39、 your carDthe GPS are becoming more and more expensive3The underlined word accurate!in paragraph 4 means“_” in Chinese.A準(zhǔn)確的 B恰當(dāng)?shù)?C端正的 D直接的4What can we infer from the passage?AAll GPS devices have electronic maps.BPeople in many countries will use the GPS for free.CThe receiver of the GPS contacts at

40、 least five of the satellites.DThe GPS will become more and more common in everyday life.5The passage is mainly about_.Athe history of GPS Bthe introduction of GPSCthe shape of GPS Dthe three parts of GPSD16、Bill Fuller, the postman, whistled(吹口哨) cheerfully as he pushed his bike up the hill towards

41、 Mrs Dunleys house. His work for the day was almost finished. His bag, usually quite heavy when he set out on his road, was empty now except for the letter that he had to deliver(遞送) to Mrs Dunley. She lived over a mile from that village so that, when Bill had a letter for her, he always finished hi

42、s days work much later. He did not mind this, however, because she never failed to ask him in for a cup of tea.When Bill entered the gate of Mrs Dunleys house, he was surprised not to find her working in the garden. She usually spent most afternoons there when the weather was fine. Bill went straigh

43、t round to the back of the house, thinking that she might be in the kitchen. The door was locked and the curtains were drawn. He returned to the front of the house and knocked hard on the door. There was no answer. Bill thought that this was very strange because he knew that Mrs Dunley hardly left t

44、he house.Just then, he noticed that her bottle of milk, which was delivered early in the morning, was still on the doorstep. This worried him. If Mrs Dunley had not taken in her milk, perhaps she was ill. Bill walked round the house until he found an open window. He squeezed(擠) through it. Then he w

45、ent into the hall. There he almost fell over Mrs Dunley, who was lying at the foot of the stairs unconscious(昏迷不醒的). Realizing that there was little he could do for her, Bill rushed out of the house, stopped a passing car and told the driver to telephone for an ambulance(救護(hù)車) as soon as he got to th

US people have a custom to give money to waiters and waitresses as a tip for their work.But why is this? Sho

49、uldnt waiters get paid enough by their bosses? Well, many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage (最低工資) and work for tips to make up for that. According to the American travel website TripAdvisor, some states pay their servers (服務(wù)員) only $2.13 (about 14 yuan) per hour.While no one

50、 makes you tip, if you are at a sit-down restaurant, it is usually expected that you tip your waiter 15 to 20 percent of what your bill is.Its not just for waiters either. Hotel maids, hairdressers and taxi drivers also usually work for tips. But it is much more expected to tip waiters.The US hasnt

51、always had this tipping culture. In fact, people were mostly against it until the Prohibition Era (禁酒令時代) in the 1920s. The government said no one could sell alcohol (酒). Then, restaurants had trouble making enough money. So they started to ask people to tip their waiters.This tipping culture has la

52、sted through the years, but most people dont like it. Some think restaurant bosses use it as an excuse to not pay their workers well. There isnt much action being taken to make a change yet. So for now, be sure to tip your waiter when in the US.1If a server works eight hours a day, he can get from h

On the day before the bass(鱸魚)season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish and bass with worms

56、. Before long, when his pole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish alongside the bank and he very successfully lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bas

57、s. The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish, the fish jumped up and down in the moonlight. The father looked at his watch. It was 10 P.M. - two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You will have to put it back, my son, he said. “I have never seen such a

58、big fish before.” cried the boy. “There will be other fish,” said his father. “The boy looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish,

59、the boy could tell by his fathers voice that the decision was not be changed. He slowly worked the hook out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the black water. That was 34 years ago. And he has never again caught such a beautiful fish as the one he landed that night long ago. But he doe

60、s see the fish again and again -every time he comes up against a question of ethics(倫理). For, as his father taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult. We would if we were taught to put the fish back when we were young. For we would
