Nearly all the tourists who come to southeast...

Nearly all the tourists who come to southeast France make a tour to Monaco(摩纳哥), too. Lying near the French-Italian border, Monaco is not part of France, but a separate principality(公国), though it is surrounded by its greatest neighbour.

Monaco became a principality in the 16th century after being owned by a family member of a certain Italian king. The French and Italians, however, soon came to “protect” it one after another, until 1861, when it became its own master again.

Facing the blue Mediterranean(地中海), Monaco is mainly made up of two cities, Monaco, where the palace of the prince(王子) stands, and Monte Carlo(蒙特卡洛), which is a wonderful place for tourists. Every year, around half a million people from all parts of the world come to Monaco, nearly 25 times as much as its population.

Believe it or not, Monaco has no soldiers or policemen of its own. Law and order is kept by French police, and French stands for it in its foreign affairs, even the money used in Monaco is franc, too.

We’ve all experienced the feeling that comes when your phone makes a sound to tell you that its battery level is low. It often comes at the worst times—when you’re out on a trip and don’t have a charger（充电器）, or when you’re expecting an important phone call.

Indeed, this feeling is so common that South Korean electronics manufacturer LG has given it a name: low battery anxiety（低电量焦虑）.

According to a survey of 2,000 US adults conducted by the company last year, 90 percent of respondents said that they panic if their battery level reaches 20 percent or lower. And last month, UK telecommunications service provider found that around 15. 5 million Britons live in “constant fear” of their mobile phones running out of power, according to a survey by the company.

“The problem is not about being unable to make calls, but is rooted in the fact that smartphones are now where we store digital memories,” noted the Daily Mail, However, battery worries don’t just affect smartphone lovers. Many owners of electric vehicles also suffer from so-called “range anxiety”. This refers to the concern that the vehicle may not make it to its destination before the power runs out. Meanwhile, it isn’t just low power that people worry about. A study carried out by South Korea’s Sungkyunkwan University and China’s City University of Hong Kong found that many of us also worry about not having constant access to our phone.

This condition is known as homophobia, short for “ no mobile phone phobia（恐惧症）”. Symptoms include feeling uncomfortable when access to one’s phone isn’t possible, being unable to turn off your phone, and constantly topping up the battery to make sure it never dies.

So, why do so many people treat their smartphone with such importance? The reason may be that they keep us connected to the people around us, and if we’re unable to use our phone, we feel like we’re cut off from our social life.

With products with bigger batteries being released all the time-such as Xiaomi’s Mi Max smartphone range or Tesla’s Model S cars-battery anxiety may hopefully soon be a thing of the past.

1.What does the underlined phrase “topping up” means?

A. jumping up　　 B. going beyond　　 C. picking out　　 D. charging the power

2.The following conditions show that you are likely to experience “homophobia” EXCEPT that ________.

A. you attach great importance to connecting with the outside world

B. you find yourself searching for your phone when it is not at hand

C. you constantly charge your phone to almost full

D. you always keep your phone on

3.What’s the writer’s attitude towards the solution to low battery anxiety?

A. Unconcerned.　　 B. Doubtful.　　 C. Positive.　　 D. Disapproving.

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Nearly all our food comes from the soil. Some of us eat meat, of course, but animals live on plants. If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass. The waste matter (粪) from animals also falls on it.

All soil needs food. If we do not give it any, the plants will be weak. Farmers found that animals’ waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers (化肥) are also very useful. The same crop (庄稼) should not be grown in the same place every year; it’s better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land good.

1.What would happen first without plants?

A．People would have more crops.            B．Animals would die.

C．There would be more food.                D．There would be less soil.

2.What does the writer tell us in the first paragraph (段落)?

A．Leaves, plants, grass and waste live on each other.

B．There would be no animals without meat.

C．There would be no plants without animals.

D．People, animals, plants and soil live on each other.

3.Which is the best food for soil in the field?

A．Chemical fertilizers  B．Plants and grass.    C．Animals’ waste.   D．Different crops.

4.Why do we often grow a different crop in the same place every year?

A．Because we can keep the soil rich this way.

B．Because we don’t have enough land.

C．Because we want to have a different food.

D．Because we do this as a habit.

5.What is the best title for the passage?

A．Soil and Waste     B．Plants and Animals   C．Food and Waste    D．Soil and Food

I was just in France to visit my grandmother who is very dear to me. I don’t get to cross the Atlantic very often, and she’s now 96 years old, so every time I visit her, the two of us are very aware that it might be the last time we see each other.

Last year, I did a series of short video interviews about her life. I asked her what it was like growing up with her father in the 1910s, and living alone with two young children. I asked her about her greatest memories, and her favorite books, foods, etc. I learned a lot of amazing new things about her I had never known before. These were very intimate conversations, which made me know her better.

This year, I did not really have questions and I only had a great desire to make her know how much I loved her. I cooked for her and read her stories. I gave her a foot massage (按摩), which was her first ever! Before leaving, I was looking for a way to leave something meaningful behind besides the memory of our time together. Therefore, I wrote her five different love notes, and hid them in different places where I knew she would eventually find them.

I left really joyously knowing that these cards would surely cheer her up after I left. She called me as I was travelling back to Paris to catch my plane back to the US and said, “I found your cards! By the time I discovered the last one, I was laughing out loud! Thank you so much, my sweetheart!” I smiled to myself, knowing she still had two more to go! It was Sunday, so my guess was that she had not checked her mailbox and had not yet driven her car!

1.The underlined word “intimate” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________.

A. close　　 B. inspiring　　 C. impressive　　 D. usual

2.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The author went to France to visit her grandmother very frequently.

B. The author didn’t expect her grandmother to find all the five cards.

C. The author and her grandmother enjoyed the time they stayed together.

D. The author’s home is not far from her grandmother's.

3.From the last paragraph, we know that __________.

A. grandmother found all the cards immediately the author left

B. grandmother had not checked her mailbox before the call

C. grandmother always calls the author before she gets on the airplane

D. grandmother does exercises by finding the cards

4.What might be the best title of the passage?

A. The Wonderful Time with Grandmother.　　 B. The Meaningful Love Notes.

C. The Person Who Influences Me Most.　　 D. The Family Has an Old, a Treasure.
