What is the difference between developed and developing countries? The question is quite a difficult one. But we can compare them in two important aspects: people and economy.

In developing countries there are high rates of both birth and death. Families decide to give birth to more than one child, because many developing countries do not have the systems necessary to guarantee(保证) the life of old people. Raising more children seems to be the only way to make sure that during their later years a person will be taken care of.

The situation is completely different in fully-developed countries. Those countries have low levels of birth and mortality. Low mortality rate is mainly because of the good health care, but low birth rate is due to the fact that supporting a family with more children is expensive nowadays. Another reason is that more and more women decide to work outside, so there is usually no time and place for a large group of children in their lives.

In developed countries, most industries have high levels of technological progress, while in developing countries most GDP comes from agriculture. It is mainly due to the fact that services and many branches of industry are in the stage of development. But they have the potential to develop quickly, because they have many things to improve.

Of course, the difference between developed and developing countries is not that clear, because some countries might be in the middle of great changes. When a country is in that stage, some data can define the country as a developing one, but others may show that it is a developed one.

1.Why does the writer think the question is difficult to answer?

A. Because the people and economy of cannot reflect the whole situation.

B. Because most developing countries are certain to become developed ones.

C. Because he can only compare them in two aspects—people and economy.

D. Because a developing country can be seen as developed one by some data.

2.In developing countries, there are high birth rates because people hope ________.

A. their children will have a bright future

B. generations can live under the same roof

C. they will be taken care of in their later years

D. the next generation can contribute more to society

3.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “mortality” in Paragraph 3?

A. Health.　　 B. Death.

C. Employment.　　 D. Survival.

4.What’s probably the writer’s attitude towards the future of developing countries?

A. Negative.　　 B. Worried.

C. Optimistic.　　 D. Doubtful.

At this very moment you’re thirsty and hunting for something to drink. So you start walking towards the drinks machine at school. As you drink you hear your teacher say those frightening words: “Could I see you for a moment in the classroom, please?”

You can almost feel your blood pressure rise as you walk to your English class. She’s always picking on you. What can it be this time? You think of the test you did last Friday. Now your mind is racing, your heart is pounding, and your forehead is pouring with sweat. In situations like this you will often feel like running away but you may also feel like hitting someone on the nose.

Your teacher asks you to go into the class. “Here it comes,” you think. But what you hear is: “Well done. Your test was excellent.” You can hardly believe your ears.

Our fight or flight response is designed to protect us from tigers that would have once hidden in the woods around us, threatening(威胁) our survival. At times when our survival is threatened, there is no greater response to have on our side. When activated(刺激), the response causes stress hormones to pump through our body.

When we face very real dangers to our survival, it is invaluable. However, few of the “tigers” we face in our lives cause a serious physical threat to our existence. They cause us no end of stress, triggering(引发) the full activation of our fight or flight response. They tend to cause us to overreact to the situation in a counterproductive (事与愿违的) way. It is counterproductive to hit someone (the fight response) or run away (the flight response).

By recognizing the symptoms, we can begin to take steps to handle the stress overload. By learning to recognize the signals of fight or flight activation, we can avoid reacting excessively (过度地) to events and fears that are not life threatening. In doing so, we use this extra energy to help ourselves, borrowing the beneficial effects in order to change our emotional environment and deal productively with our fears, thoughts and potential dangers.

1.You feel nervous when walking to the classroom because ________.

A.you broke the school rules B.you failed the test last Friday

C.your teacher spoke to you loudly D.your teacher always blames you

2.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A.The power of our fight or flight response.

B.How our fight or flight response works.

C.The benefits of our fight or flight response.

D.How we control our fight or flight response.

3.The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to ________.

A.fierce tigers B.real dangers

C.dangers we face D.serious physical threats

4.A good understanding of our fight or flight response can help us ________.

A.get rid of unnecessary stress B.face real dangers bravely

C.find hidden dangers D.take threats seriously

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting.

When my friend Lily from London used the word "larder", I didn't know what it meant. Realizing I didn't follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food.

The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged.

Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a woman who was pissed. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk.

Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store（食品杂货店）recently. She asked the young man if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didn't follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber.

In order to communicate well with the British, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English.

1.When Lily used the word "larder", she was probably looking for a ________.

A. cup B. ladder

C. cupboard D. cooker

2.What does the underlined phrase "jotted down" in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Wrote down. B. Left behind.

C. Looked for. D. Settled down.

3.According to the passage, Lily regretted sending her boys to watch a tennis game mainly because ________. .

A. the game was boring

B. she wanted to spend time with her boys

C. she didn't dress her boys in thick clothes

D. her boys got lost

4.What is the passage mainly about？

A. The British way of using words.

B. Some new words the writer's British friends taught her.

C. The reasons why Americans can't follow the British at times.

D. Some words used differently in British English and American English.
