The young man arrived on the Massachusetts beach early carrying a radio, a shovel(铁锹), and a strange set of tools: a brick layer’s trowel, a palette knife, spatulas, spoons, and a spray bottle. He walked down near the water — the tide(潮水) was out — and switched on the radio to listen to soft rock. Then he shoveled wet sand into a pile nearly four feet high and as many feet across. Then he created a square shape. After that, he set to work with palette knife, spatulas, and spoons. He shaped a splendid tower, topped walls, fashioned beautiful bay windows, and carved (雕刻)out a big front gate. The man knew his sand. He smoothly finished some surfaces and carved artistic designs on others. As the shapes began to dry, he gently kept them slightly wet with water from the spray bottle, in case they might break in the wind. All this took hours. People gathered. At last he stood back, obviously satisfied with a castle worthy of the Austrian countryside or Disneyland. Then he gathered his tools and radio and moved them up to drier sand. He had known for a while what many in the crowd still ignored: the tide was coming in. Not only had he practiced his art with confidence and style, he also had done so against a powerful, irresistible(不可抵抗的) deadline. As the crowd looked on, water came at the base of the castle. In minutes it was surrounded. Then the rising flood began to eat into the base, walls fell, the tower fell, and finally the gate fell. More minutes passed, and small waves erased bay windows — soon no more than a small part was left. Many in the crowd looked terribly sad; some voiced fear and discouragement. But the man remained calm. He had, after all, had a wonderful day, making beauty out of nothing, and watching it return to nothing as time and tide moved on. 1.In this passage, why did the young man start early in the day? A．He needed the sun to help dry the sand. B．It gave plenty of time for the crowd to gather. C．He knew the tide was out on this particular morning. D．It was easier to begin his work with only a few people around. 2.In this passage, what does the incoming tide signal? A．It is time to begin working. B．It is the end of a day’s work. C．It is the busiest time of the day. D．It is time for lookers-on to leave. 3.How did the lookers-on react when the tide began to come in? A．They were disappointed to see the art ruined. B．They tried their best to save the sand castle. C．They were nervous about their own belongings. D．They helped the artist finish the castle. 4.We can tell that the young man’s reward for his work is ___________. A．payment for his work B．personal satisfaction C．popularity as an artist D．attention from the crowd

A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is unusual for what it contains: the news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the comments and special features(特写)as well, from editorial page to feature articles, from interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre, and music. A newspaper is even more unusual for the way one reads it never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality, that is, its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But this immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it also mean that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than temporary value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together, out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and order, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness(意识) as you change and apply the techniques of reading. 1.What does the underlined word in the second paragraph mean ? A．wide coverage B．speed in reporting news C．various style D．popularity among readers 2.According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the same newspaper is that ___________. A．people are interested in the same kind of news B．different people prefer different newspapers C．people scan for the news they are interested in D．people have different views about what a good newspaper is 3.A good newspaper offers “a variety” to readers because ___________. A．readers like to read different newspapers B．it has to cover things that happen in a certain locality C．readers are difficult to please D．it tries to serve different readers 4.The best title for this passage would be ___________. A．The Characteristics of a Good Newspaper B．The Importance of a good Newspaper C．Good Newspapers and Bad Newspapers D．Some Advice on How to Read a Newspaper

A recent study, published in last week’s Journal of the American Medical Association, offers a picture of how risky(冒险的) it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a deadly accident as a teenager driving alone, while the risk of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional passenger. Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior” than with just a lack of driving experience. “The basic issue,” he says, “is that adults who are responsible for issuing licenses fail to recognize how complex and skilled a task driving is.” A．their frequent driving at night B．their improper ways of driving D．their lack of driving experience 4.A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenagers' driving accidents is that_______.

根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出最佳选项，并将其答案标号填入题后的空白处。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Question: Why is it so hard for some people to apologize after they’ve done something wrong? I have made every effort to persuade my uncle to be nice to people that he knows he’s hurt. 1. How I wish things would be better if he’d just say he’s sorry and ask them to forgive him. Answer: _2. It’s just easier for him to pretend nothing happened than to face the embarrassment (尴尬) of admitting he was wrong. You’ve probably done the same thing yourself at some time. In fact, most of us have. Furthermore, what if others won’t forgive him even if he apologizes? 3. Pride blinds us to our mistakes or faults. Or at least it makes us pay less attention to their seriousness. Pride also makes us unwilling to admit to others that we were wrong. Perhaps we’re afraid they will look down on us if we admit it. 4. But others see through our pride. And things would be far better if we admitted our faults and asked for forgiveness. 5. Now you know why your uncle refuses to apologize, talk to him again. Help him to learn how to apologize and ask for forgiveness from others. A. But a deeper reason is pride. B. But he just refuses to do that. C. We may even hope that somehow they will ignore it. D. As a result, you would offend others and hurt their feelings. E. There are a variety of reasons for your uncle’s refusal to apologize. F. Otherwise our pride would only hurt us and cause conflict with others. G. One reason your uncle finds it hard to apologize could be embarrassment.
