根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

In the 60s, people asked about your astrological (about star) sign. In the 90s, they want to know your website. 1. Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The Web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.

2. Like the table of contents of a book or magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it.

While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout(版面设计). At the top of the page is a banner(横幅)GRAPHIC. Next comes a greeting and short description of the site. Pictures, text, and links to other websites follow.

3. Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that you want to put on the site.

While there are no rules you have to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind: 4. If you want too much at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add to your site.

Less is better. Most people don’t like to read a lot of long texts online. 5.

Smaller is better. Since it can take a long time to download large files, keep the file sizes small.

Have the rights. Don’t put any material on your site unless you are sure you can do it legally. Always remember to get the permission from the writer first.

Now it’s time to roll up your sleeves and start building.

A. Start simply.

B. Break it into small pieces.

C. Draw a rough layout on a sheet of paper.

D. Many websites are considered very interesting.

E. Before you start building your site, do some planning.

F. Think of your home page as the starting point of your website.

G. These days, having a web address is almost as important as a street address.

Walt Whitman was born in 1819 in Long Island, New York. Whitman received most of his education outside of the classroom. At the age of eleven, he worked in a law office as an office boy where he became interested in reading. He was soon reading the works of famous authors like William Shakespeare and Homer, and was well on his way to becoming one of America’s most well-known poets.

By the time Whitman was seventeen years old, he had already worked as a printer’s learner, a worker, and a learning games to help his students with spelling and maths. In his early twenties, however, he gave up teaching to pursue (追求) a full-time career as a journalist and poet.

When Walt Whitman first appeared as a poet, his arrival onto the American literary scene was met with controversy. His first collection of poems, Leaves of Grass, was so unusual that no commercial publisher would print the work. In 1855 Whitman published, at his own expense, the first edition of his collection of twelve poems.

Whitman’s poetic style was uncommon in the sense that he wrote poems in a form called parallelism (对句法), in which his goal was to copy the flow of the sea and the quickly-passing nature of human emotion. A common theme in Whitman’s poetry is self-realization. In his work, Whitman moves from conventional patterns of rhyme to create a unique rhythm and a multi-layered, but truly American voice.

“Although Whitman was considered a revolutionary by many, there is little doubt he loved his country deeply.” In his writing, he used slang (俚语) and various images, or voices, to create a sense of national unity.

For Whitman, the “proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it.” Whitman has undoubtedly become a part of the cultural history and image of America.

1.Paragraph 2 mainly talks about ________.

A. Whitman’s education

B. Whitman’s early career

C. how Whitman became a poet

D. why Whitman’s poems were popular

2.When Whitman first appeared as a poet, ________.

A. he received a warm welcome

B. his literary road was not easy

C. he became famous for his unusual style

D. his poetic style was copied by other poets

3.What was Whitman’s greatest literary contribution?

A. He expressed human emotion in his writing.

B. He showed that flow of the sea in his poems.

C. He used slang to show his love for his country.

D. He created a unique rhythm and An American voice.

A qualified doctor who rarely practiced but instead devoted his life to writing. He once said: “Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my lover.” Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, was a great playwright and one of the masters of the modern short story.

When Chekhov entered the Moscow University Medical School in 1879, he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family. After he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper.

As a writer he was extremely fast, often producing a short story in an hour or less. Chekhov’s medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference (冷漠) many of his characters show to tragic events. In 1892, he became a full time writer and published some of his most memorable stories.

Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of life in small town Russia. Tragic events control his characters who are filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair.

It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhov’s stories and plays. He made up for this with his exciting technique for developing drama within his characters. Chekhov’s work combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity(敏感) of an artist.

Some of Chekhov's works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s. One of his famous stories, The Man in a Shell, about a school teacher’s extraordinarily orderly life, was selected as a text for Chinese senior students.

The young boy was sitting on the ground in the refugee(难民) camp playing with an empty tin. Other children were standing around watching him with envious eyes.

Envy? Of an empty tin?

This tin was indeed no worthless piece of trash—it was a splendid truck, complete with wheels and grille(铁栅) and floor. The vehicle even had remote control, a frayed piece of string from the “engine” to the hand of the owner.

The tin had lost all its original markings. But its first load had probably been sardines(沙丁鱼). Later the tin had been left with other rubbish behind the refugee camp clinic, and the boy had found it on one of his daily expeditions into the “big world”.

For thousands of refugee children, a tin 1ike this rates high on their list of wants. It can be used for many purposes, as jewellery, as a toy, for drinking or as a medicine box.

Many refugee children would consider it the happiest day of their lives if they received a handful of marbles(弹珠) as a present.

They dream of gifts which children in developed countries take for granted.Maybe a book to read, or a pencil and an exercise book of their very own.

Their imagination can create toys,but it cannot create books.Someone else must provide them.A more costly and valuable gift they cannot imagine.

1.How do you think the young boy may feel when he gets something to read?

A. depressed.               B. frustrated.

C. excited.                  D. frightened.

2.Other children envied the young boy because the boy ________.

A.had something to play with

B.got some sardines to eat

C.received a handful of marbles

D.had a real truck toy

3.What is implied in the last paragraph of the text?

A.The society should donate(捐) some toys for the refugee children.

B.The refugee children are more imaginative rather than creative.

C.The refugee children are more creative rather than imaginative.

D.The society should offer the refugee children things for study.

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.An Enviable Toy Present      B. Sardine Tin—A Precious Toy

C.A Splendid Truck Toy       D.A Poor Refugee Cam

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A. B. C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑

Dolphins (海豚) are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this way they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time at least twenty or thirty years.

Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.

Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.

There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area-except for The Penguin.

Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.

1.By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that ________.

A. people are cruel to animals

B. dolphins are friendly and clever

C. Jack is different from other dolphins

D. dolphins should be protected by law

2.Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they ________.

A. live in groups             B. have their own language

C. are warm-blooded           D. have large brains

3.Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?

A. Its mouth.                B. Its ears.

C. Its nose.                 D. Its eyes.

4.Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?

A. They wanted his help.

B. They enjoyed playing with him.

C. He was seriously wounded.

D. He was lonely and liked to be with people
