In the latest romance-drama, Descendants of the Sun (《太阳的后裔》), a handsome soldier Yoo Shi-jin（柳时镇） (Song Joong-ki)(宋仲基) meets the pretty doctor Kang Mo-yeon（姜暮烟） (Song Hye-kyo)（宋慧乔） in a hospital, and he doesn’t hesitate to hit on her.

The dialogue, which takes place early in the first episode( 集）, immediately indicates that this is no ordinary South Korean drama. There’s no family feud （不睦）, or love tangles, or guesses and misunderstandings. The 16-episode show is set in the fictional war-torn country of Uruk （乌鲁克）. Song Joong-ki is the leader of a special warfare command unit, while Song Hye-kyo plays a doctor who works for a humanitarian medical organization. Both are sent in the midst of disaster and disease as part of their work with UN peacekeeping troops. Both know and show clearly what they want and what they hate.

But what stands out the most are Song’s skills as a pick-up artist（撩妹技能）.

Boldness and creativity are the key weapons in his arsenal. When Kang invites Yoo to drink wine with her, Yoo , who is not allowed to drink alcohol as a soldier, says, “There is a way” before kissing her. Forget about the “eighth-episode rule” . This kiss happens in the fourth.

Humor also does the trick. On their first date in a cinema, Yoo says, “This is the most exciting moment of my life. The moment I am with a beautiful woman before the theater lights go out.” When Kang tries to give Yoo a hard time, Yoo jokes, “I mistook you for a beautiful woman because it’s dark.”

And actor Song Joong-ki, who just came back from two years of military service last May, makes sure he delivers his pick-up lines just right.

“In Deep Rooted Tree (《树大根深》) and The Innocent Man (《善良的男人》), he [Song Joong-ki] showed he had the steel to play fearless and heartless men – that he could be taken seriously as an actor, despite his pretty face. In Descendants, he hits the emotional core of every scene, whether he has to be bold and amorous, guarded and mysterious, or sad,” said critic Foong Woei Wan in The Straits Times.

1.What is the relationship between Song Joong-ki and Song hye-hyo?

A.lover B.colleague C.actor D.doctor-patient

2.Why say that the Descendants of the Sun is no ordinary South Korean drama?

A.Because actors know and show clearly what they want and what they hate. B.It broke the previous Korean old story.

C.It exits family feud and love tangles. D.The pick-up artist is unique and special.

1.Part of northern California had become an inferno(火海) in the latest big fire. A nearby town, Paradise, was reduced to ash. Nearly 50 people are confirmed dead and over 200 missing. Six of the ten most destructive fires in California's history have occurred in the past decade. Last year was the most destructive year on record, until this year. Why is the Golden State so flammable?

2.There are three reasons why California has been surrounded by flames. First, the climate is becoming warmer. This has led to snow melting earlier, drier landscapes and a longer season when fires are likely to occur.

3.A second reason is that more people live in flammable places. Since the 1990s 60% of new homes in California, Washington and Oregon have been built in spaces next to nature. These areas, which environmentalists call the "wildland-urban interface", are at higher risk of wildfire.

4.A third reason is that there is more fuel. Before western settlers arrived, fires used to happen often and naturally, which made less fuel available for future fires. For the past century fires have been controlled well. This has led to a build-up of dry brush, and makes the average wildfire much likelier to turn into a big one.

5.Putting out the flame is the most immediate task for California, but not the last. Many survivors will want to rebuild their homes exactly where they were. Californians will also want to ensure that utility companies(公用事业公司) are acting and investing responsibly. Investigations into what caused the fire are still going on, but some reports suggest it may have begun with sparks (火花) from lines owned by an electricity company.

1.What may directly cause the big fire in California?

A. The warm climate.　　 B. Living too close to nature.

C. Too much fuel.　　 D. Sparks from electric wire

2.What does the underlined sentences in Paragraph 1 suggest?

A. The fires in California are all very destructive.

B. The latest big fire in California is very destructive.

C. California suffered from destructive fires most last year.

D. There have been six destructive fires in California in the past 10 years.

3.What does the text mainly talk about?

A. The reasons why California suffered a destructive fire recently.

B. The reasons why California suffered destructive fires frequently.

C. The facts that California is a place easily suffered destructive fires.

D. The opinions that California is a place easily suffered destructive fires.

4.What is the structure of the text?

A. 1//2-3// 4-5　　 B. 1-2// 3-5

C. 1//2-4// 5　　 D. 1// 2-5

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

There is a scene in the movie The Descendants and it went something like this ---George Clooney’s character Matt King has a daughter who may be 9 or 10. She said something bad to a girl at her school that made her cry. The mother of that girl made Matt and his daughter come to their house to apologize. “Sorry,” said his daughter very casually. She was clearly not sorry for her actions and the girl’s mother complained she didn’t take her apology seriously. Matt shrugged(耸)his shoulders. What was he supposed to do? His daughter apologized as asked. He couldn’t make her mean her words.

I always think of this story when my daughter is asked by other adults to apologize for her wrong doings. I know my daughter is being taught to say “sorry” with all the best intentions. They are teaching her to be polite. But she is apologizing because she is being forced to please the adult or to avert punishment.

This situation has happened on a few occasions and it really bothers me. Here are three reasons why I don’t think it’s a good idea to teach children to say sorry: 1. My daughter is being taught to say things that are not from her heart. 2. She is being taught insincerity(不真诚) is valued over genuineness. 3. She is being taught she needs to please others to be loved.

These messages make me uncomfortable and I will not ask my children to apologize. Instead, this is what I think people should teach children:

teach them behavior that is acceptable and to practice positive behavior.

teach them how their actions affect others.

give them space to think about the situation and ask them to suggest ways to make the situation better.

help them make healthy choices

lead by example and show them how to fix wrong doings

1. The story in Paragraph 1 mainly shows that ________.

A. sometimes people don’t take their apology seriously

B. The Descendants is a good film that is worth seeing

C. forcing a child to apologize may not get expected results

D. parents should punish their children for their mistakes

2.What does the underlined word “avert” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Suffer　　 B. Avoid　　 C. Deserve　　 D. Get

3.From Paragraph 3 we can learn that the author ________.

A. doesn’t like apologizing to other people.

B. doesn’t think apologizing is important to children

C. doesn’t think her daughter has done anything wrong

D. thinks forcing a child to apologize has disadvantages

4. According to the last paragraph, the author suggests people should ________.

A. teach children how to become independent

B. teach children how to apologize in the correct way

C. teach children to behave well instead of forcing them

D. teach children how to set a good example to others

Every morning,many girls in the African country of Zimbabwe rise with the sun and go to fetch water

for their families.They have to walk many miles an carry the water home on their heads. Where they live,there is no running water they can get at all.

“You have to relax your neck and head and make it follow the load(负荷)，”one girl told me ,“It is easy for you to do that if you practice for many times.” I have lived in Zimbabwe all my life.But I had never tried to balance a pot on my head.I have made efforts many times and I have also practiced it for long.But it was not east at all.I managed to walk only several yards before the pot fell off my head.The girls watching covered their mouths and laughed at my poor head-balancing skills.

In reality,water is not the only thing that requires head-balancing skills in everyday life.In most of these villages,there is no electricity for cooking,so fire wood is used instead.The girls must collect and carry it back to their villages.They insist the easiest way to do this is on their heads.

Even at school,head-balancing skills come in handy.At a school,I saw a group of girls fetching bags of sand that were to be used to build a new classroom.They carried these bags with ease.When I tried,I could not beat the weight.

Girls in many countries worldwide prefer to carry things on their heads.They are taught this skill at a young age and grow up to have strong necks and great posture.For these girls,balance is simply a way of life.

高一英语单项填空困难题查看答案及解析

I received pictures of my daughter floating (漂浮) on a lake in California. Right there under the sun during the hottest time of the day, she has only her swimsuit to cover her.

When I showed it to my students, it was as if I had shown them scenes from a horror (恐怖) movie.

“But she will get dark,” they said.

“That’s what she wants,” I told them. “We think darker skin (肤色) is beautiful.”

They looked at me in disbelief. It was as if I came from the moon.

For years, American girls spend their summer trying to get as tanned (晒黑) as possible. In China, on the other hand, girls use umbrellas all year round.

What in the world is going on?

The pale skin we think looks unattractive (不漂亮) is what Asian women want. Both groups want to meet their culture’s standard (标准) of beauty.

In the US, if you can afford to go on vacation in the summer, you head for a river, a lake or a beach, where you try to get as much sun as possible. If you are rich you take a winter vacation in some sunny spot. Your winter tan shows your wealth.

In China, once upon a time, the few wealthy were the ones who didn’t have to work out in the hot sun. So the whiter the skin, the richer the woman. The folk opera performers who play these ladies wore lots of white makeup (妆容). The tradition survives to this day.

So it comes naturally that none of my students wishes to follow the Western ways in this regard.

But now I am noticing that a new business – the tanning booth (美黑店) – started up in China. I admire those brave enough to define（给…下定义）their own idea of beauty, but I do wonder what their grandmothers would have to say to them about it!

1.The students were shocked at the picture the writer showed them because ______.

A. they thought it shameful for a girl only to wear a swimsuit

B. the writer’s daughter was wearing very little while out in the sun

C. it is dangerous for a girl to be out on a lake alone

D. with the powerful sunlight the writer’s daughter would have got a suntan

2. According to the article, which kind of woman meets the American standard of beauty?

A. Women with blond hair.                                        B. Women with a slim figure.

C. Women with tanned skin.                                        D. Women with pale skin.

3. In the US a winter tan usually means the person _____.

A. is hard-working                                           B. doesn’t have to work

C. has a lot of money and spare time                          D. is from a very poor family

4.The writer ______ the tanning booth started up in China.

A. is not interested in                                                       B. doesn’t understand

C. doesn’t like                                                                       D. has mixed feelings about
