How would you like an easy way to earn $2,500? All you have to do is to sit around and wait for your meals. There’s a catch, however. You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week. There are no books or television or radio for a whole week. There are no books or television or radio for amusement. You can’t leave until the week is up. And a camera will be recording your every move.

Two people actually took the job. The idea came from Rob Thompson, a video artist. He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated. His goal was to raise people’s awareness (认识) of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food. He decided to pay $5,000 out of his own savings to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week.

To Rob’s surprise, quite a few people answered his advertisement. He had interviews and selected Eric, a 24-year-old restaurant worker, and Pam, a 27-year-old chemist. The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide. A camera would record their experience, which would take place in an art museum.

The week was long and difficult. They slept on a hard wooden floor. They couldn’t stand up without banging their heads. They ate mash(a kind of food for animals) and drink water from a garden pipe. Their only privacy (隐私) was a toilet surrounded by a curtain. There were no sinks, mirrors, or toothbrushes in the cage. Visitors who came here were warned, “Do not feed the humans.”

Finally it was over, and Pam and Eric came out of the cage. They had survived the week, and they each had a $2,500 check in their hands. When Rob Thompson opened the cage, Eric came out, changed into clean clothes, and ate a chocolate bar right away. “It’s great for me to be able to stand up.” he said. Pam just changed her clothes and left. After a week of visitors and reporters watching her, she didn’t want to talk to anyone.

1.The underlined word “catch”(in Paragraph 1) probably means _______.

A. unsolved problem　 　　　　 B. surprising wonder

C. unbelievable condition　 D. hidden difficulty

2.What made it the most difficult for the two to stay in the cage?

A. That they had nothing for fun.

B. That they didn’t have meat to eat.

C. That they couldn’t lie down to sleep in the cage.

D. That they had to do almost everything in public.

3.Rob Thompson offered the job in order to___________.

A. Make a film about humans and animals

B. Advertise for his experiment about animals

C. Show how terribly some animals are treated

D. Experiment on how long a human can live in a cage

4.What would be the best title for this passage?

A. An Easy Way to Earn $2,500

B. Do Not Treat Animals Badly

C. Living Like a Chicken

D. Getting Along Well Anyway

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

For more than fifty years, a worker was forced to sit on the back of a truck and slowly drop plastic barriers（障碍）

to set out lanes（车道）on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Every day, their direction changes to control the traffic, meaning an employee had to go through the difficult task every twenty-four hours.

But a new piece of machinery means the work can be completed in a matter of minutes. A new “zipper truck” has been introduced. The vehicle lays and moves a lane barrier as it drives over the bridge. Last weekend, the bridge was closed so the new safety barrier, designed to reduce the dangers of head-on crashes, could be set up.

For the longest period in its nearly eighty-year history, the bridge was closed early Saturday to all but walkers, cyclists and buses to set up the barriers on the 1.7-mile bridge. A survivor of a 2008 head-on crash on the bridge spoke Sunday from a wheelchair to help introduce the new barrier, made of steel-clad concrete（铜包混凝土）blocks that can move across the bridge’s six lanes to meet traffic needs.

Gr. Grace Dammann pushed for a safer barrier since becoming unable to walk after the accident. She said she decided to drive near the middle of the bridge, which was called the “suicide（自杀）lane”, because she and her daughter were running late. Brian Clark, who was driving in the opposite direction, had just learned his father had cancer. “He suddenly lost control of the wheel, crossed over and hit my car,” Dammann said.

She said she and Clark became friends as they persuaded（说服）the government to use the MYM30 million barrier. “I am so thankful,” said Dammann, who came to the ceremony with Clark.

“Clark and I thank you.”

1.What is the zipper truck for?

A. Building bridges.　　 B. Repairing the road.

C. Carrying plastic barriers.　　 D. Setting up safe lane barriers.

2.What can we infer about the Golden Gate Bridge?

A. It is being repaired now.　　 B. It is a bridge with eight lanes.

C. It had very dangerous lanes before.　　 D. It is too old to be used at the moment.

3.What do we learn about Dammann and Clark?

A. They organized the ceremony.　　 B. They are both government officials.

C. They designed the new zipper truck.　　 D. They were in favor of the new barrier.

4.What is the text mainly about?

A. A worker on the Golden Gate Bridge.　　 B. A great bridge in San Francisco.

C. A new safer barrier system.　　 D. A serious traffic accident.

高一英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

It’s a classroom. Instead of being told to sit quietly and listen, you are encouraged to stand up, jump around, imagine and act out. It’s a class full of laughter and applause (鼓掌), emotion and energy. Welcome to drama class, one of my favorite classes at high school.

In drama class we used to play a lot of “drama games”. We would improvise (即兴表演), copy and above all use our imagination.

My favorite game was called “Spotto”. One person stood in the front of the class and performed a scene, completely out of their imagination. When one audience member yelled “Spotto!”, the performer had to freeze. Then the person who had yelled Spotto had to get up and improvise a new scenario (剧情) based on the position the first performer froze in. This went on as more and more people were added to the scene. Eventually the entire class would have joined the scene. Then the performers would start to leave in reverse (颠倒的) order.

It was a lot of fun, and a good test of everyone’s imagination to see what they would come up with. Drama class at my school often involved a big performance at the end of the term as well. We would work on a production throughout the term and put on a show for our parents and the school community.

It was a great experience to perform on stage in front of a large audience. Drama class can help shy children, like me, to come out of their shells. It helped them become more confident and developed their public speaking skills. Drama class is also a great place to express oneself, and a way for children to use up some of their energy.

1.Which do you agree with about the game “Spotto”？

A. Each performer in the game has to retell the story of the latter performer.

B. A performer has to show a story unrelated to that of the former performer.

C. Every student gets the chance to make a contribution to the “Spotto” game.

D. It is designed to help drama students learn from one another’s performance.

2.The underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refers to “　　　　 ”.

A. shy children　　 B. a large audience　　 C. drama students　　 D. the whole class

3.What do you know about the author according to the article?

A. He was too shy to attend the drama class.

B. He was a star student in the drama games.

C. He was shining in big performances each term.

D. He was happy to perform on stage in front of the audience.

4.What’s the best title for this passage?

A. A few drama games for fun.

B. How to improve drama skills.

C. Unforgettable experiences on stage.

D. One of my favorite high school courses.
