阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication—having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professional worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning(扫描)equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. Hightech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
1.People buy cell phones for the following reasons except that ________.
A.they're popular B.they're convenient
C.they're useful D.they're cheap
答案:D 细节理解题。文中第一段提到手机是一种通信工具且受欢迎;手机是一种时尚;但文中没有提到手机很廉价,故D项符合题意。
2.The word “detected” in Paragraph 3 could be best replaced by ________.
A.discovered B.removed
C.cured D.caused
答案:A 词义猜想题。依据句意可知用扫描设备能发觉大脑和头部疾病的迹象,故A项正确。
3.On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies ________.
A.deny the existence of mobile phone radiation
B.develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiation
C.hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about
D.try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health
答案:C 细节理解题。依据第四段最终一句“Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation,but they say the amount is too small to worry about.”可知C项正确。
4.The writer's purpose of writing this article is to advise people ________.
A.to buy mobile phones
B.to use mobile phones less often
C.to update regular phones
D.to stop using mobile phones
答案:B 主旨大意题。本文谈论了使用手机对人健康是否有害,在最终一段点明白本文的目的在于建议人们不要太经常地使用手机,故B项正确。

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。
To hitchhike successfully in any country you must be able to do two things:attract attention and at the same time convince the driver at a glance that you do not intend to rob or murder him. To fulfill the first requirement you must have some marks to let drivers distinguish you at once from all other hikers. A serviceman,for instance,should wear his uniform,a student his scarf. In a foreign country an unmistakable indication of your own nationality will also arrest a driver's attention.
When I hitchhiked 9,500 miles across the United States and back recently I wore a welltailored suit,a bowler hat and a trench coat,and carried a pencilthin rolled black umbrella. My suitcase was decorated with British flags. Having plenty of luggage,moreover,I was not likely to be suspected of being a dangerous lunatic (精神病患者).I then had to get across to the driver the idea that I was a real traveler,and needed to get somewhere cheaply.
But even with careful preparation,you must not assume that the task will be easy. You should be prepared to wait a little,for there are drivers who confess to a fierce prejudice against,(not to say hatred of),hitchhikers,and would no more pick up a hiker than march from Aldermaston to London. In America,my average wait was half an hour,and my longest two hours,but I have heard of people waiting all day—they probably took less pains to make themselves easy to notice.
Nor must you assume that all the drivers who stop for you are nice,normal people. On one occasion I found myself was with two boys of about nineteen who turned out to be on the run from the police,and were hoping to use me as an alibi(不在犯罪现场的证人).There are also lesser(较小的)risks:you may find yourself in the car of a Fascist fanatic,a Mormon missionary(传教士),or just a bad driver. You cannot tell,of course until you are in the car. But you soon learn the art of the quick excuse that gets you out again.
If the hitchhiker in the U.S. remembers that he is seeking the willingness of drivers to give him a free ride,and is prepared to give in exchange entertainment and company,and not go to sleep,he will come across the remarkable,almost legendary,hospitality of American of the West. It will also help if he can drive—I drove myself about 4,500 of those 9,500 miles I hitchhiked in the States.
1.A hitchhiking serviceman should wear his uniform ________.
A.so as not to look too unusual
B.to attract attention
C.to show he is on duty
D.to put the driver at ease
2.In Paragraph 3,we learn that the writer ________.
A.has sometimes failed to hitch a ride
B.has marched from Aldermaston to London
C.has always been successful in hitching a ride
D.has had to wait for long hours for a ride
3.In the last paragraph,the writer wants to tell us that a hitchhiker should ________.
A.not talk to the driver too much
B.fall asleep to make it a peaceful ride
C.try to make himself pleasant and entertaining
D.seek the willingness of drivers
4.A suitable title for the passage would be ________.
A.“The Art of Hitchhiking”
B.“An Englishman's View of the U.S.”
C.“An English Hitchhiker”
D.“The Joys and Dangers of Hitchhiking”
答案:1——4 BCCA

Sample writing:
How can we be happy under the great pressure of the College Entrance Examination? The answer lies in the fact that we can have an objective understanding of our abilities and set a reasonable goal. Furthermore, what really matters is that we have tried our best to achieve them.
In junior middle school, I was one of the top ten students in my school. I was confident and happy. But things have changed since I started senior school. However hard I tried, I was unable to be listed on the top one hundred. I felt stressed and depressed. After thinking carefully, I painfully realized that I was not as smart as I imagined. To my comfort, I have always been doing my best and I have never wasted a single hour. What makes me proud is that all my hard work paid off at last.
In our life voyage, we can’t change the direction of the wind, but we can adjust our sails to reach our destinations. Be realistic and hardworking, and we can always be happy enough to live through our hard school life.

In order to succeed ,we should realize the importance of life goal .Without a clear goal ,we will feel confused and lost while if a goal is set ,we may make a sensible schedule and confirm to it .
I was not aware what I wanted to chase until the discussion what is My Chinese Dream was held in my class last term. I used to believe that it made no difference whether I studied hard or not to our nation. The fate of a country had nothing to do with the individual student. Fortunately, because of the hot discussion from my classmates, I have transformed my mind. Now, I’m conscious I have to devote all my passion to achieving my personal goal as well as to striving for the great revival of the motherland.
With the life goal set, we can achieve anything we want.
