Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that we are right and others are wrong. Many people believe that it’s their job to36others how their positions, statements and points of view are 37 and that in doing so, the person they are correcting is going to somehow 38 it, or at least learn something. Wrong！

Think about it. Have you ever been 39 by someone and said to him, “Thank you so much for showing me that I’m wrong and you’re right.” Or has anyone you know ever 40 you when you corrected him, or made yourself “right” at his 41? Of course not. The truth is, all of us 42to be corrected. We all want our position to be 43 and understood by others. Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest 44 of the human heart. And those who learn to 45 are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the 46 of correcting others are often hated and 47.

A wonderful way of becoming more peaceful and loving is to practice 48 others the joy of being right--- give them the glory. 49correcting. When someone says, “I really feel it’s important to…” rather than 50 and saying, “No, it’s more important to…” , simply let it go and allow his statement to 51. The people in your life will become less defensive and more 52. They will appreciate you more than you could ever have 53 possible. You’ll discover the joy of joining in and seeing other people’s 54, which is far more rewarding than a battle of egos（自我意识）. Starting today, and let others be “55  ” most of the time.

I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke(唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.

Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions(认识) of the limited English speaker.

I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English rejected the quality of what she had to say. That is because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.

I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.

1.By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that ________.

A.she uses English in foreign trade

B.she is fascinated by languages

C.she works as a translator

D.she is a writer by profession

2.The author used to think of her mother’s English as ________.

A.impolite B.amusing

C.imperfect D.practical

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?

A.Americans do not understand broken English.

B.The author’s mother was not respected sometimes.

C.The author’s mother had positive influence on her

D.Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.

4.The author gradually realizes her mother’s English is ________.

A.well structured B.in the old style

C.easy to translate D.rich in meaning

5.What is the passage mainly about?

A.The changes of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English.

B.The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother.

C.The author’s misunderstanding of “limited” English.

D.The author’s experiences of using broken English.

Humans were designed to stand upright. And yet in this modern world, too many of us spend our days with our heads lowered for a simple reason: we’re staring at the tiny screen of a smart phone.

People spend an average of 2 to 4 hours each day with their neck bent while shooting off emails or texts. That’s 700 to 1,400 hours a year. The success of social media has led to a rapid development of bad smart phone posture（姿势）.

The average adult head weighs 10 to 12 pounds when it’s in the upright position. However, because of the gravity, bending your head at a 15 degree puts 27 pounds of pressure on your spine(脊椎)；a 30 degree neck bend could equal 40 pounds of pressure; a 45 degree bend adds the force of 49 pounds, according to the research from Dr. Kenneth Hansraj from New York. These stresses may lead to many problems.

It’s no secret that correct posture is better for your back. According to the researchers, good posture is described as ears aligned(成一条直线) with the shoulders. In proper alignment, spinal stress disappeared. It is the best position for the spine. Standing tall doesn’t just make you look better; it improves your health, too. Other studies have found good posture has even been connected to ways of behaving. People who have poorer posture often have poorer physical and emotional health.

The researchers describe bad posture as “the head in a forward position and the shoulders dropping forward in a rounded position”. Bad posture has been connected to many medical problems, including headaches and other problems, depression and heart disease. This is why Hansraj said it’s important to be mindful of your smart phone posture. Though it is nearly impossible to avoid the technologies that cause these problems, people should make an effort to look at their phones with a correct posture.

1.Through the underlined sentence in paragraph 2, the author wants to show that _______.

A. the social media have its bad side

B. the social media have made a great success

C. people have to use social media unavoidably

D. more and more people are using smart phones

2.What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?

A. It’s healthy to bend your back regularly.

B. Your back is getting exercise as you bend it.

C. The average weight of an adult head always changes.

D. The more you bend your neck, the more stresses your spine gets.

3.Where does the text most probably come from?

A. A text book.

B. An advertisement.

C. A health report.

D. A book review

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Many of us are interested in time travel and shuttling back and forth (来回地) to the past or the future. Who wouldn’t be enthralled by returning to the past or seeing the future? But time travel seems to be possible only in our imagination or in science fiction (科幻小说).

Science fiction is a world where impossible things can become possible and that’s why most of us like it. But science fiction is not entirely fiction since it is based on science theories (理论). Time travel, for instance, is a theme used by sci-fi writers. Readers may sometimes think writers have first-hand experience of it. I have collected some of the popular ways in which time travel is made possible in science fiction:

● Through the wormhole — A wormhole is a path between points in space-time. According to Einstein, an object can pass through a wormhole if it can travel at the speed of light. An example of a wormhole is described in Riddle of the Red Bible.

● Through a black hole — A black hole is a vacuum (真空) in space where light cannot even escape or pass through. In some sci-fi movies, like Star Trek, black holes became the means to travel through time.

● Through time machines — In science fiction, time machines are vehicles that can travel faster than light. It can be a strange vehicle like the TARDIS in Doctor Who or a special car like the one used in Back to the Future. But these special vehicles would need a wormhole to travel to the past or the future.

● Through parallel universe (平行宇宙) — Another popular way to travel through time is to be able to get into a parallel universe where one can go back to a point in time and see a different reality.

Though we know time travel may not be possible, it is still an entertaining subject and a heated topic for most of us. And in science fiction, where reality is always in the imagination, time does not really matter.

1.The underlined word “enthralled” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_____”.

A. defeated　　　　　　　　　 　　 　　 B. confused

C. shocked　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. attracted

2.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Time travel might become possible in the far future.

B. Time machines can’t travel to the past or the future without a wormhole.

C. Sci-fi writers have similar experiences to those they describe in their fiction.

D. An object can travel to the past or the future when its speed is faster than light.

3.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A. To arouse the heated topic of time travel among readers.

B. To introduce how humans travel through time in science fiction.

C. To introduce the author’s knowledge of time travel to the readers.

D. To compare different ways of time travel mentioned in some science fictions.

Your plan is far from satisfaction , so you must ______ more time and energy to it.

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Free energy is everywhere around us. There are many ways to make and collect energy from various sources like sun, wind and water. People also realize that everyday stuff can be a source of energy too. For example, riding a bike, running or just walking, etc. We simply have to change our way of thinking if we want to change the world.

So comes the idea of solar roadways. Are they the road of future? Why use roads just for driving and collecting tolls (过路费)? Why don’t we use them for collecting energy?

The US Department of Transportation recently awarded $100,000 to Solar Roadways to build the first ever Solar Road Panel. So how do these future roads work?

The Solar Road Panels will contain embedded (嵌入的) LEDs which “paint” the road lines from beneath to provide safer nighttime driving as well as to give drivers instant instructions such as detour (绕行) ahead. The road will be able to sense wildlife on the road and can warn drivers to “slow down”. There will also be embedded heating elements in the surface to prevent snow and ice buildup, providing safer winter driving.

Replacing asphalt (沥青) roads and parking lots with Solar Roadway Panels will be a major step toward stopping climate change. Fully electric vehicles will be able to recharge along the roadway and in parking lots, finally making electric cars practical for long trips.

We just can’t wait to see more of these roads all over the world in the near future.

1.The first paragraph serves as a(n) ________.

A. argument            B. comment            C. explanation        D. background

2.When some animals are on the solar road, what will the road do?

A. Guide them to a safer place.

B. Remind drivers to drive slowly.

C. Frighten them away from the road.

D. Advise drivers to choose another way.

3.From the text, we can know that the Solar Road Panels can ________.

A. provide heat for drivers in winter

B. guide drivers who get lost on the highway

C. melt snow and ice soon in winter

D. help drivers see the road clearly in the sun

4.What is the text mainly about?

A. Functions of the road in the future.

B. Development of solar energy.

C. Free energy on the road.

D. Solar road of the future.
