高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Guide dogs are going to be available for the children who are unable to see normally in the UK for the first time, as the age limit is to be removed. The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association is to begin training dogs to help blind people under the age of 16.

The association says too many youngsters with impaired eyesight are lacking in independence. They have only a limited social life because of their disability. Giving some of them guide dogs at a younger age is intended to help them to widen their range of activities and to improve their sense of self-confidence and independence. Guide dogs for these teenagers will begin to be provided from next year. There has been an experimental project to test the use of guide dogs with younger people.

Charlotte, aged 14, was among the youngest guide dog owners. She had been gradually losing her eyesight since the age of eight, and lost her eyesight completely this year. She has been assisted by a two-year-old guide dog. Charlotte used to have a long stick to help her move around, but having a guide dog allows her much more freedom and makes her feel safer.

However, the association says there is a worryingly patchy supply of services for the young blind people across the UK, and it calls for a sharp increase in the number of guide dogs all over the country. As with adult blind people, only a small number of them are likely to be considered suitable for a guide dog. Most will continue to rely on extra help and training from education and social services.

1.What can we learn about guide dogs from the text?

A. They have been provided for teenagers in the UK.

B. They are beneficial to blind children’s development.

C. They became possible in the UK recently.

D. They are quite popular in the UK.

2.What does Charlotte’s example tell us?

A. It is necessary to carry out the experimental project.

B. Guide dogs can get along well with disabled people.

C. The association’s opinion is not quite right.

D. Youngsters need companions and friends.

3.What does the underlined word “patchy” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. Endless. B. Perfect. C. Inadequate. D. Diverse.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A. Blind people need guide dogs’ assistance in their daily life.

B. Age limit for the blind to have guide dogs is to be removed.

C. More guide dogs will be trained in the UK.

D. The project of using guide dogs is to begin.

高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Below is a housing guide for students going to London.

University accommodation (住所)offices

Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房东). Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organizations. The advantage of using your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have a problem. The disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to houses all their students.

Property papers: Loot and Renting

Loot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for co-renters. The offers are from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters. They also have a website: www.loot.com. The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains. The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.

Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their website is at www.renting.co.uk.

Accommodation agencies

The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that: you will have access to a large number of accommodations. A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.

Noticeboards

Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic.

Word of mouth

Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, don’t suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source.

Family

Faced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.

1.What is the advantage of using Loot?

A. There are some good bargains.

B. It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.

C. It gives you personal information about other co-renters.

D. Their website is designed mainly for students.

2.A good agent can help you ____.

A. know more people

B. find cheap accommodation

C. get the right accommodation quickly

D. get free information about most accommodations

3.The information passed on by word of mouth is important because____.

A. it is better than that found through any other source

B. the final year students always offer better information

C. the landlords have little valuable information

D. it helps you find some of the best housing never advertised.

4.For students going to London for the first time, which of the following provides the most reliable information?

A. University accommodation offices. B. Loot and Renting

C. Noticeboards.　　　　　　　　　　　　 　 D. Family
