Nowadays , people in China are increasingly interested in celebrating foreign festival , especially those western festivals .
A survey conducted recently by sina.Com showed that among the 18,222 people surveyed 63.9% said celebrating Christmas is just another way of recreation ,nothing serious while 17.85% surveyed considered the festival as a fashion act , showing they were not "out".These two parts clearly indicate the general opinion of the young .10.45 percent people involved said the celebration of a religious western festival with so much enthusiasm is absolutely ridiculous pursuit of foreign goodness .Only 7.8% of people define Christmas as a kind of festival colonization(殖民)。

As computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widespread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.
“When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”
“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”
Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?
Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one’s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”
To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的) and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
1.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A.The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.
B.To type or to Handwrite.
C.Writing by Computer will Replace Writing by Hand.
D.Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.
2.Which of the following statements is NOT the advantage of handwriting?
A.Handwriting contains the writer’s emotion.
B.The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.
C.Handwriting can impress people well and build one’s self-confidence.
D.Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.
3.The underlined expression “taking stock in” probably means ___________.
A.getting bored with B.getting dependent on
C.becoming curious about D.getting curious about
4.We can draw the conclusion from the passage that ___________.
A.more and more students will give up writing on a computer.
B.writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day.
C.more and more students will pay attention to handwriting.
D.the typing article better expresses one’s emotion and quality.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
Nowadays, cars are playing an increasingly important role in daily life and many societies would stop functioning without them. So, the claim that in 20 years’ time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe. But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by governments but also by car manufacturers.
The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program. The team there believes that by 2040 all cars will be computerized, which will mean extremely large fuel savings, no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself and it will not be owned by one individual. Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.
According to Dr. David Davis, who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture, which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.
Davis says cars will be fitted with intelligent cruise control devices to regulate the distance between one car and another. Brakes and accelerators will become redundant(多余的)because the car will automatically speed up or slow down to match the speed of the car in front. Computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people so that the roads can be made the best of.
By 2030 Dr. David Davis believes car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road whatever the weather conditions by projecting an image of the road ahead onto the car’s windscreen. And by 2040 cars will travel in convoy(组队) linked to each other electronically. Cars will be connected by an electronic tow(牵引) bar to the car in front to form “road-trains”. “The front vehicle in such a train burns the ordinary fuel” says Davis. “But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.”
1.We learn from the passage that governments and car manufactures .
A. don’t believe the prediction that no one will own cars by 2020
B. are devoted to the technological innovation (创新) in car industry
C. consider the predictions made by the researchers seriously
D. have put the super-intelligent car into mass production
2.Which of the following will NOT be the characteristics of the cars of 2040?
A. There will be no brake and accelerator in cars. B. We will own as many cars as we want.
C. All cars will be driven by computers. D. Car accident will no longer happen.
3.Davis believes that the present car culture will change because .
A. cars play an important role in daily life
B. many societies would stop working without cars
C. cars should not be owned by one individual
D. it causes more and more pain to human society
4.Which of the following sentences can explain better use of roads by 2040 mentioned in the passage?
A. Computer-driven cars can drive much closer together than cars driven by people.
B. Motorists can have a clear view of the road whatever the weather conditions are.
C. Cars will travel in convoy linked to each other by an electronic tow bar.
D. Intelligent cruise control devices can regulate the distance between one car and another.
5.What will happen if cars are linked to each other electronically in 2040?
A. Motorists will get a clear view of the road.
B. The weather conditions won’t have effect on motorists.
C. There will be a decrease in the pollution caused by car.
D. All trains will burn less fuel than present.

“Educational researchers, political scientists and economists are increasingly interested in the characteristics and skills that parents, teachers and schools should foster in children to increase chances of success later in life,” said lead author Marion Spengler, PhD of the University of Tubingen.” Our research found that specific behaviors in high school have long-lasting effects for one’s later life.”
Spengler and her co-authors analyzed data collected by the American Institutes for Research from 346, 660 U. S. high school students in 1960, along with follow-up data from 81,912 of those students 11 years later and 1,952 of them 50 years later. The initial high school phase measured a variety of student behaviors and attitudes as well as personality characteristics, cognitive abilities, parental socioeconomic status and demographic(人口统计的)factors. The follow-up surveys measured overall educational attainment, income and occupational prestige(声望).
Being a responsible student, showing an interest in school and having fewer problems with reading and writing were all significantly associated with greater educational attainment and finding a more prestigious job both 11 years and 50 years after high school. These factors were also all associated with higher income at the 50-year mark. Most effects remained even when researchers controlled parental socioeconomic status, cognitive aibility and other broad personality characteristics such as conscientiousness.
While the findings weren’t necessarily surprising, Spengler noted how reliably specific behaviors people showed in school were able to predict later success.
Further analysis of the data suggested that much of the effect could be explained by overall educational achievements, according to Spengler.
“Student characteristics and behaviors were rewarded in high school and led to higher educational attainment, which in turn was related to greater occupational prestige and income later in life,” she said. “This study highlights the possibility that certain behaviors at crucial periods could have long-term consequences for a person’s life.”
1.What’s the finding of Marion Spengler’s research?
A. Teachers play a decisive role in students’ later success
B. Personality characteristics are more important than academic performances
C. Higher educational attainment has little to do with occupational prestige
D. Behaviors in the high school should be highly stressed.
2.Which is TRUE about the research?
A. The research was conducted among totally different people during different periods
B. The research was based on the data collected from 1960 to 2010
C. More people were involved in the follow-up surveys
D. The initial high school phase measured attitudes only
3.What is likely to contribute to later success according to the research?
A. Parental socioeconomic status
B. Overall educational achievements
C. Cognitive ability
D. Hard work
4.Why did the researchers control some factors like parental socioeconomic status?
A. To avoid the previous mistakes
B. To highlight the effects of certain specific behaviors
C. To draw an immediate conclusion
D. To hid some negative findings
