However, there is another way of travelling—poorism. People have a tour in the poorest areas of the world. Some people may take one-day poorest tour, and some even pay to stay in very poor neighborhoods to experience the lowest living standards in the world. Poorism tours take place around the world, and not just in the third world countries. You can, for instance, tour New York neighborhoods in the Bronx, in the Bund of Shanghai. Such tours can take people into the heart of poor areas within large and in some rich cities. These tours may awaken people to pay more attention to long-standing poverty, or the effects of war.

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced. One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars and trucks with gas. Americans won’t live without cars!

Most Americans　 would　 find　 it　 hard　 to　 think　 what　 life　 would　 look　 like　 without　 cars. However, some have realized the serious problems of the air pollution that is caused by the car.

The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.

One way to get rid of the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute. That’s what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.

Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.

To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we’ll have to make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their total cars. They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bicycle. Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean.

But this change does not come easily. A large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.

Although cars have led us to a better life, they have also brought us new problems.

1.How many ways to get rid of air pollution are suggested in this article by the writer?

A. Four.　　 B. Three.

C. Two.　　 D. One.

2.If the number of cars is cut down, the most serious problem to American workers is_______.

A. to have no work to do　　 B. to keep the air clean

C. to get a better life　　 D. to go to work by bike

3.What is the conclusion(结论) of the writer?

A. Bicycling is the only way out.

B. The number of cars must be cut down.

C. Cars bring us nothing but serious problems.

D. Cars bring us not only a better life but serious problems.

4.To reduce pollution, we’ll have to　 make some　 changes in the　 way many of us live, EXCEPT that　　 ______.

A. Americans have to cut down on the number of their total cars.

B. People are encouraged to travel and go to work by bicycle.

C. The number of cars on the roads should be limited every day.

D. People should build more roads and fill cars and trucks with gas.

WeChat, the Chinese social media smartphone app, saw an increase in user numbers of 41 percent year on year to 500 million at the end of last year, in a sign that parent company Tencent is extending its reach for the mobile Internet. As one of the largest Internet integrated service providers in China and one of the most Internet users in China, Tencent’s profit grew 24 percent to RMB 20.98 billion per year, slightly higher than forecasts, driven mainly by online gaming profits. It is unclear how much WeChat contributed to Tencent’s profits but the app’s growth is a strong indicator of the company’s long-term health as it tries to adjust its business to be more suitable for mobile devices.

“We extended our leadership in games and online media, and made breakthroughs in emerging platforms such as online security and mobile payments.” Ma Huateng, Tencent chairman, said in a statement. WeChat is the second highest ranked social app in China, behind QQ, Tencent’s another chatting app, which claimed to have 815 million registered monthly users at the end of 2014.

Tencent has been unwilling to earn money through WeChat by flooding it with advertising, which could influence the users’ experience. But this is expected to change. Some analysts anticipated(预期) that advertising would be introduced on a large scale later this year. Early attempts to test ads on the service have not always gone smoothly. After a BMW ad was introduced on some users’ feedbacks in January, many users who were not targeted by the brand’s marketing complained of “discrimination” by Tencent’s data mining algorithm(数据挖掘算法). They claimed it unfairly treated them as not wealthy or successful enough to view the BMW ad.

1.What can we learn from the passage?

A. WeChat is ranked behind QQ in China.

B. Tencent wants to earn more through QQ.

C. WeChat contributed most to Tencent’s profits.

D. More advertising would not be introduced later this year.

2.How did some users feel when a BMW ad was introduced?

A. Uninterested. B. Untouched.

C. Unhappy. D. Unlucky.

3.What’s the best title of this passage?

A. WeChat, a Popular APP in China

B. WeChat, a Smartphone APP in China

C. WeChat, a Profitable APP of Tencent

D. WeChat, a Nonprofit APP of Tencent

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. Parents often give their children an amount of money that they may spend as they wish. The purpose is to let the children learn from experience at an early age when financial mistakes are not very costly.

A child may receive an allowance each week or each month. The amount is not so important.  But parents should make clear what the child is expected to pay for with the money.

At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents should not offer more money until the next allowance is to be given.

Older children may be responsible enough to budget larger costs like those for clothing. The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving.

Many people who have written on the subject say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the home, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.

Allowances give children a chance to experience three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving it to organizations. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.

Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer free savings accounts for young people with small amounts of money.

1.The functions of allowances given to children are the following EXCEPT ______.

A. they can save more money for their future business

B. they can give them to charities

C. they may spend them on what they like

D. they can learn to deal with money

2.The underlined word "sacrifice" in the last paragraph means "_____".

A. 牺牲                 B. 计划                C. 选择        D. 放弃

3.What's the main idea of the passage?

A. Children should save part of their allowance.

B. Don’t pay your child for work around the home.

C. Allowance helps teach children early about money.

D. Parents should allow children to spend money as they wish.

4.How many advantages of saving has the passage mentioned?

A. 2                     B. 3                        C. 4          D. 5

5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Children are advised to buy anything they wish to with the allowance.

B. Parents should offer children more money if they spend all of their allowance soon after they get it.

C. It can be useful to pay children to do extra work around the home.

D. It is unnecessary for the children to save part of the allowance.
