You only live once, and life is short. It’s easy to look at people who are happy and assume that they don’t understand your pain. The older you get, the more you realize that happiness takes work. People who smile in public have been through as much as people who cry, scream, etc. 1.So how can you live life to the fullest? Here are some tips to help you out:

●Decide what’s important to you. It doesn’t matter what it is. 2. Your parents, friends and society in general all have their opinions, but you’re the only person who will be around for every moment of your life. Do what makes you happy, and everything else will fall into place.

●Ready to take risks. Sometimes, there’s danger involved in life, but every reward carries risk with it. 3.However, if you never take risks, you’ll never get anywhere in life. When people look back on their lives, they regret the chances they didn’t take more than the ones they did.

●Ignore the haters. No matter what you decide to do with your life, there will always be someone around to point out the many ways you will fail. Know that every winner loses, but not every loser wins. 4. Instead, they keep pushing through failure.

● 5.Your being right about something doesn’t mean there aren’t other ways to look at it. Listening to ideas you don’t agree with or understand keeps your brain active and healthy.

What will city life be like in the future? Some people think that life in the cities is going to be horrible. They say that cities will become more and more crowded. As the number of people increases, there will be less space for each person. This overcrowding will cause other problems — more crime, dirtier streets , and worse problems with traffic than we have now. How will people find enough drinking water, energy (such as gas and electricity ), and housing? Because life will be hard, people who live in cities will worry more, and they may become sick. For these reasons, some say that nobody will want to live in city areas.

How can we deal with such problems as overcrowding, crime, and traffic? In some cities, thousands of people are already sleeping in the streets because there is little suitable housing — and because houses are too expensive. The crime rate isn’t going down. Instead, it is increasing so fast that many people are afraid to go out at night. Traffic is also getting worse. More and more often, traffic jams are so bad that cars don’t move at all for several streets. These problems have been getting worse, not better, so many people see no hope for the future of the city.

Los Angeles, California, for example, has no subway system and buses are slow. Instead, many commuters (乘、开车上班族) drive many miles from their homes to work. Many of these drivers spend several hours each day on busy freeways. New York, however, has a big transit system — buses, commuter trains, and subways. Because the public transportation is crowded and dirty, many people drive private cars, and the traffic jams are worse than that in Los Angeles. A taxi driver complains, “I was driving home, but in forty-five minutes I moved only two miles! Finally, I turned off the engine and just sat there. A lot of people left their cars where they were in the middle of the street and went into a bar for a few beers!”

On the other hand, some cities have clean, fast and pleasant public transportation systems. In Paris, France, and Toronto, Canada, for example, anyone can use buses or subways to move quickly from one part of the city to another.

1.What do some people think is the main problem of the future city like?

A. Poor housing.                    B. Overcrowding.

C. Environmental pollution.           D. Traffic jams.

2.The best way to work out the traffic problem in Los Angels might be _________________.

A. cutting down the number of private cars

B. providing more buses in the freeway

C. building a subway system

D. persuading people to live nearer to their workplaces

3.Which of the following sentences is NOT TRUE?

A. Thousands of people are already sleeping in the streets.

B. The crime rate isn’t going down.

C. The traffic jams are so bad that cars don’t move at all for several streets.

D. Many people have a positive attitude towards the future of the city.

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Who's in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it's other people-society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry(模仿)，their passions a quotation.”

So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug－we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix(一剂毒品)，we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.

But just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom－the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot-control what other people think. People have their own agenda(日程安排), and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probable pleasing no one in the process.

So how can we take back control? I think there's only one way－make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values－not values imposed from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic(真实的), effective, purposeful and happy life.

1.What Oscar Wilde says implies that________.

A. most people's thoughts are controlled by others.

B. we have thoughts similar to those of others.

C. most people have a variety of thoughts.

D. other people's thoughts are more important.

2. What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph?

A. The price of taking the drug is freedom.

B. Changing opinions may cost us our freedom.

C. We may lose ourselves to please others.

D. We need to pay for what we want to get.

3. It can be concluded from the passage that________.

A. it's important to accept others' opinions.

B. it's better to do what we like.

C. we shouldn't care what others think.

D. we shouldn't change our won opinions.

4. The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his arguments mainly by________.

A. making suggestions.                      B. analyzing causes and effects.

C. providing examples and facts.        D. discussing questions

Many people may not believe it, but this is what is happening: polar bears are dying out! They are dying because they are losing a great deal of habitat due to human incursion（侵入）and global warming.　 They are dying because of starvation as well.　 With the sea ice they depend on for survival shrinking, it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to find food.

An ecosystem is highly dependent on all of its parts, and removing even a single species can result in serious consequences.　 Polar bears are at the top of the predators（捕食性动物）where they live.　 They play an important part in the ecosystem.　 They feed on seals, fish and deer.　 Several other animals depend on the kill of polar bears.　 The failure to save polar bears might result in loss of these predators.

In addition, all large predators perform a very important function in their habitat: helping to control the populations of other species.　 When an animal group loses its natural predators, its population will rise rapidly, having a direct result in population decrease of other groups.　 A huge boom in population of Arctic seals would have a direct effect on the prey(捕食) of seals, and could reduce numbers of certain types of fish.

This could also have a direct effect on humans, who might have to compete with Arctic seals for food supplies from fish. Lack of polar bears could eventually affect human food supply. Human beings shall save polar bears to ensure the food supply.

There is no doubt that we should save polar bears.　 However, there is still another question: can they be saved? This is a matter that scientists debate because of rapid degradation（恶化）of the polar bear’ environment in recent years due to warming temperatures.　 It is estimated that if the bears cannot adapt to changing climates, they might die out before the end of the 21st century, with about 50% of the animals disappearing by 2050. So time is running out!

There are some things that may help slow down global warming and help delay extinction of polar bears.　 These include finding new energy sources that don’t give off greenhouse gases and not making any more incursions into polar bear’s territory.

1.Which is NOT the threat to the survival of polar bears according to the passage?

A. Human’s killing.　　　 B. Global warming.

C. Habitat loss.　　　　 　　 D. Lack of food.

2.Why do we need to save polar bears?

A. For the predators in the ecosystem.

B. For the seals in Arctic Circle.

C. For our own source of food.

D. For our environment.

3.If bears can’t adapt to changing climates, we will probably have lost 　　 _____　 by the middle of the 21st century.

A. half of polar bears

B. most of polar bears

C. 90% of polar bears

D. all of polar bears

4.We can infer that 　 _____　　 .

A. nothing can prevent the extinction of polar bears

B. drilling for oil in the Arctic should be encouraged

C. polar bears can surely adapt to changing climates

D. using solar energy is good for saving polar bears

高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

It is very important for people to drink water in our everyday life. Many people believe they are supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, or about two liters. Why? Because that is what they have been told all their life. But a recent report offers some different advice. Experts say people should obey their bodies; they should drink as much water as they feel like drinking. The report says most healthy people meet their daily needs for liquid by letting thirst be their guide. The report is from the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academies. The report contains some general suggestions. The experts say women should get about 2.7 liters of water daily. Men should get about 3.7 liters. But wait——in each case, that is more than eight glasses.

There is one important difference. The report does not tell people how many glasses of water to drink. In fact, the experts say it may be impossible to know how many glasses are needed to meet these guidelines. This is because the daily water requirement can include the water content in foods. People do not get water only by forcing themselves to drink a set number of glasses per day. People also drink fruit juices and sodas and milk. They drink coffee and tea. These all contain water. Yet some also contain caffeine. This causes the body to expel(排出)more water. But the writers of the report say this does not mean the body loses too much water.

As you might expect, the Institute of Medicine says people need to drink more water when they are physically active. The same is true of those who live in hot climates. Depending on heat and activity, people could need two times as much water as others do. All this, however, does not answer one question. No one seems sure why people have the idea that good health requires eight glasses of water daily.

It may have started with a misunderstanding. In 1945, the National Academy of Sciences published some guidelines. Its Food and Nutrition Board(营养膳食) said a good amount of water for most adults was 2.5 liters daily. This was based on an average of one milliliter(毫升)for each calorie of food eaten. But that was only part of what the board said. It also said that most of this amount is contained in prepared foods.

1.In experts’ opinion, every day a person should drink ____.

A. as much water as he can                 B. more than eight glasses of water

C. according to actual need for his body           D. when he comes in sight of water

2.What is mainly described in the second paragraph?

A. People know about the daily water requirement.

B. People need water instead of all kinds of drink.

C. People get daily water not only from drinking.

D. People drink all kinds of drink every day.

3.Who might drink less water according to the third paragraph?

4.The main purpose of writing the texts is to _______.

A. make a good suggestion of drinking daily  B. make clear the requirements to drink daily

C. tell the importance of drinking water daily     D. figure out a good amount of water daily
