高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we’re hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.

One cost-cutting proposal（advice） is to allow college students to get a bachelor’ s degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there’s a question: Would the quality of undergraduate(本科生)education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.

I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum(课程) any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits(学分). In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist(oppose) “diluting(稀释)” the quality of the education they offer.

In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior(更胜一筹) to a quality three-year education. A college education requires enough time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it’ s not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(实习生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.

1.We can learn from the passage that ________.

A. most American universities are against the “three-year degree” model

B. many famous US universities are considering adopting the “three-year degree” model

C. professors are willing to accept the “three-year degree” model

D. the “three-year degree” model can make college learning more efficient

2.In most US universities，________.

A. college students are offered the co-op program

B. electives’ credits make up one quarter of the required credits

C. all students are required to finish four-year education before graduation

D. some excellent students can graduate ahead of time

3.We can infer that________.

A. the author is a college professor

B. the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to afford

C. the author considers the university education quality very important

D. the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students

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

A. explanation　　 B. definition

C. introduction　　　 D. comment

Most of us feel very tired after working for eight hours a day, five days a week. When we get home, we watch at least one film because it's well-deserved and the only time we get to "relax" before going to sleep. Wake up and repeat. No wonder you feel tired. So how do you get out of this vicious circle? How do you restart your life?

1. YOUR MINDSET

"Oh man, another one of these self-improvement things. I hope I can do it, but I've tried these things before, and I just never stick to it."

This was something I used to say to myself every time I try to start something new for myself. There's a fear-driven side of your brain which tells you, "You can't do this."

What can you do? Well, the tip here is to talk to yourself like you're talking to a friend, or a coworker. So the next time you try something new, be kind to yourself like you would be kind to others. You are your own worst critic. But you can also be your firm defender.

2. YOUR DIET

If you are looking at what you eat for the reason to feel energized, then the general rules are:

1) Eat when you're hungry. Don't eat when you're not.

2) Be mindful when you eat. Chew at least 20 times. Let yourself taste and digest your food.

3) Don't do three things at once when you're eating. Your body wasn't made for that.

4) Preferably, eat "real" food. Eat what your great-grandmother would recognize as food.

Don't let your days pass by in a boring way. Start by re-examining these key habits in your life to build a body that can start doing things you want.

3. YOUR SLEEP

Without enough sleep, we're basically going through the day drunk. This means tiredness, difficulty to respond quickly and smartly to anything that comes up. The sleeping hours needed for an average adult ranges from 7 to 9 hours.

1.What does the underlined word "vicious" most probably mean?

A. Strange. B. Awful.

C. Friendly. D. Worthy.

2.When the author starts something new, he 　　　　 .

A. often feels he can't stick to it B. puts everything else aside

C. always keeps on doing it D. believes he can complete it

3.What should one do if he thinks he can't do something new?

A. He should persuade himself to have a try.

B. He should defend himself from being hurt.

C. He should think about it and give it up.

D. He should force himself to do it.

4.What will most likely be discussed after the last paragraph?

A. Why is sleep important? B. How long should we sleep?

C. How can we sleep properly? D. Why do people dream when sleeping?

Geena David knew she wanted to be a movie star when she was very young. She was not sure what gave her the idea, but she wanted to look like a movie star. “I have a lot of pictures from my childhood of me wearing sunglasses,” she says. “I used to wear them to watch TV.”

Early movie actors started wearing sunglasses not because they looked good, but because their eyes hurt. The lights used on movie sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful problem known as “Klieg eyes”. It was named after the Klieg brothers who invented the lights. Actors wore sunglasses to give their eyes a rest. But when movie stars began wearing their sunglasses in public, they quickly became a must.

Eventually actors started wearing sunglasses in their movies as well as on the street. Audrey Hephburn wore ultra-cool Ray-Ban sunglasses in the 1961 movie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. As a result, Ray-Ban sunglasses started to appear more and more in the movies. In 1979, Ray-Ban “Wayfarers” were worn by Jake and Elwood in The Blue Brothers. Tom Cruise wore Ray-Ban “Aviator” sunglasses in the 1986 hit, Top Gun. Then in 1997, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made Ray-Ban “Predator” sunglasses famous in Men in Black.

Of course sunglasses aren’t just a fashion statement. The main reason to wear sunglasses is to protect our eyes against UV radiation. UV radiation can damage our eyes, so people now choose their sunglasses carefully. But you don’t have to give up style for safety. The choice of frames and lenses available these days is huge. So you can protect your eyes and still be the coolest person on the beach.

1.What is mainly discussed in this passage?

A. The use of sunglasses.     B. The history of sunglasses.

C. The sunglasses wearing.   D. Why movie stars like to wear sunglasses.

2.Why did Geena David like to wear sunglasses?

A. She was a movie star.

B. She wanted to follow a movie star.

C. Wearing sunglasses was good to her eyes.

D. It was good to wear sunglasses when watching TV.

3.Early actors’ eyes hurt because ______.

A. they wore sunglasses

B. they went out in the sun too much

C. the lights on movie sets were too bright

D. their scripts were written in very small writing

4.Now people wear sunglasses ______.

A. just to protect their eyes    B. for fashion and to protect their eyes

C. because of bright lights      D. because movie stars wear them
