Steve and Yaser first met in their chemistry ...

Steve and Yaser first met in their chemistry class at an American university. Yaser was an international student from Jordan. He was excited to get to know an American. He wanted to learn more about American culture. Yaser hoped that he and Steve would become good friends. At first, Steve seemed very friendly. He always greeted Yaser warmly before class. Sometimes he offered to study with Yaser. He even invited Yaser to have lunch with him.

But after the term was over, Steve seemed more distant. The two former(以前的) classmates didn’t see each other very much at school. One day Yaser decided to call Steve. Steve didn’t seem very interested in talking to him.. Yaser was hurt by Steve’s change of attitude. “Steve said we were friends,” Yaser complained. “And I thought friends were friends forever.” Yaser is a little confused.

He is an outsider(局外人) to American culture. He doesn’t understand the way Americans view friendship. Americans use the word “friend” in a very general way. They may call both casual acquaintances(熟人) and close companions(伙伴) “friends”. Americans have school friends, work friends, sports friends and neighborhood friends. These friendships are based on common interests.

American society changes rapidly. Studies show that one out of five American families moves every year. American friendships develop quickly, and they may change just as quickly. People from the United States may at first seem friendly. Americans often chat easily with strangers. They exchange information about their families, hobbies and work. They may smile warmly and say, “Have a nice day.” or “see you later.” schoolmates may say, “Let’s get together sometime.” But American friendliness is not always an offer of true friendship.

One Monday morning, Paul and his classmates were in science laboratory for their practical chemistry lesson. The students were going to work in pairs to do an experiment. Before they began, the teacher gave them this description of the different stages of the experiment.

Stage 1: Prepare the equipment: a test tube, a crucible, a Bunsen burner and tongs.

Stage 2: Weigh 5 grams of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and put it in a crucible.

Stage 3: Heat 10 ml of hydrochloric acid (盐酸) in a test tube.

Stage 4: Pour the warm acid onto the baking soda and continue to heat the mixture.

Result: The acid reacts with the bicarbonate（碳酸氢盐）to form water, carbon dioxide gas and salt. The hotter the mixture, the quicker the reaction. Continue to heat the mixture until the water evaporates, leaving the salt in the crucible.

Paul and his partner followed the instructions and set up their equipment. Paul went to the cupboard to get a bottle of hydrochloric acid. He found that there was only one bottle in the cupboard so he took that. There was no label on the bottle and Paul didn’t check with the teacher if it was the right solution.

He measured the liquid and poured it into a test tube. Using tongs to hold the test tube, he heated it over the Bunsen burner. That’s when things started to go wrong. The liquid in the test tube was not hydrochloric acid. When it was heated, it formed a thick cloud of white gas. Soon the room was full of this strong smelling white gas.

All the students started coughing and their eyes hurt. The teacher immediately opened the windows and ordered the students to leave the laboratory at once. She realized that the liquid was a crylamide (丙烯酰胺) and that it is poisonous.

Fortunately, nobody was injured in the incident. However, it taught the students and the teacher a good lesson.

1.What lesson did the incident teach the students and the teacher?

A. Never have a bottle without a label in the chemistry lab!

B. Obey your teacher’s instructions in the Chemistry lab.

C. A crylamide can’t take the place of hydrochloric acid.

D. Finding something unusual happened, you have to leave the laboratory at once.

2.What substance were the students making in the experiment?

A. Water              B. Carbon dioxide gas         C. Salt          D. Poisonous gas

3.Why did Paul make the mistake?

A. He went to the cupboard to get the bottle by himself.

B. He found that there was only one bottle in the cupboard so he took that.

C. There was no label on the bottle.

D. Paul didn’t check with the teacher that it was the right solution.

4.Why did the teacher send the students out of the classroom?

A. Because the room was full of this strong smelling white gas.

B. Because all the students started coughing and their eyes hurt.

C. Because the liquid was a crylamide and that it is poisonous.

In the summer between my first year and second year in college, I was invited to be an instructor at a high school camp. On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied, "No, I really don't want to do this." I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him, either. Actually, the boy didn't need a close talk but a friend.

At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when 1 saw the boy under the tree sitting alone. I tried again with the same invitation, but he refused once again. That evening I was told the boy's name was Tommy. Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.

The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp. All the campers shared their wonderful moments. To my surprise. 1 found the boy from under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls. I couldn't believe it was the same person.

In October of my second year, I received a phone call from Tommy's mother. She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed. I offered my deep sadness. The mother said: “'Tommy mentioned you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence. You made a difference for Tommy during his last months.”

At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own “boy under the tree”.

高一英语单项填空困难题查看答案及解析

Contestants from around the world met in Pomona, California, this month to test their skills at things like driving a car, walking down stairs, and opening doors. Sounds easy, right? But the competitors weren’t people—they were robots!

The bots were participating in(参加) the final round of the US’s DARPA(Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) Robotics Challenge. This event, which took place on June 5-6, tested robots on how well they could respond during a disaster and the winning team finally took home a $2 million grand prize.

The DARPA challenge was created after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan. An earthquake caused a tsunami, which damaged a nuclear power plant. Workers at the plant needed to shut off an important valve(阀门), but it was too dangerous for humans to reach it. The US scientists at DARPA wondered whether the disaster could have been avoided if a robot had been sent to do the job. So they set up the robotics competition.

Turning a valve was just one task a robot might have to perform when entering a disaster zone. In addition to doing this, robots participating in the challenge had to navigate a course containing several other tasks: driving and exiting a vehicle, opening a door, walking over or clearing objects, cutting a hole in a wall, plus climbing a flight of stairs.

Teams had to complete the challenge in one hour, and points were awarded based on how quickly the robots completed a task. They didn’t have to attempt all the tasks. To make things even more realistic, challenge organizers caused short computer-system blackouts(断电) that prevented robots and the human operators controlling them from communicating. That means teams had to program their robots to be partially autonomous(独立的). Robots also couldn’t be attached to anything that could keep them from falling down, which happened a lot.

1.What do we know about this year’s DARPA challenge?

A. It lasted five days.

B. It was held in Japan.

C. Its winner got a cash prize.

D. Its winner will work in Fukushima.

2.What does the underlined part “the job” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. To open a door. 　　　　 B. To close a valve.

C. To predict a tsunami. D. To rebuild a nuclear power plant.

3.The robots that participated in the US’s DARPA challenge were required to _____.

A. challenge all the tasks

B. have a good sense of smell

C. complete their tasks in an hour

D. act in the dark in the whole process

4.What is the text mainly about?

A. A nuclear disaster. 　　 B. A research program.

C. A robotics competition. D. A scientific organization.

Police officer Jody Thompson first met his son John in 2015. He was pulling into the car park at the Poteau Police Department in Oklahoma when he overheard a call about a case of physical child abuse. Despite being off duty, Thompson responded to the call.

He arrived at the scene to find a severely underweight boy, who was covered in bruises (淤青) with his wrists tied. The eight-year-old, who weighed just over 25 kilograms at the time, had been left in a dustbin full of cold water.

“He didn’t have a spot on his body that didn’t have a bruise. It was the worst thing I’d ever seen,” Thompson said. Thompson drove John to hospital and sat by his side all night as the child recovered in the intensive care unit.

The following day, he contacted the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) to request he become the child’s foster parent (养父). Within just a few days, Thompson had brought John into the safety of his own home.

“When I’d seen him in that house shivering and his hands tied – just wet to the skin and confused – I knew at that moment, the only time I would be satisfied and sure that he was safe is if he was with me,” he said.

Thompson already had two sons, aged 15 and 18. He didn’t tell his family about his plan at first, but said they had faith he was doing the right thing. In an extraordinary twist, just two days after bringing John into the family home, he found out his wife was pregnant with their third biological son.

And seven months later, DHS called the Thompsons to ask if they wanted to foster John’s newborn sister, Paizly, who was born in prison. They picked her up the next day – when she was just a day old – and brought her straight home. Both John and Paizly were later adopted by Thompson and his wife.

“The example of love that Thompson has shown to this young man and his sister is an example everyone should follow,” Poteau Police Chief Stephen Fruenr said in a statement. “It’s men like Thompson that make me proud of our police force brothers and sisters. I am proud to serve with him.”

1.How was John when Thompson found him?

A. Seriously ill.　　 B. Badly injured.　　 C. Unconscious.　　 D. Overweight.

2.Why did Thompson bring John back home?

A. He wanted to find a companion for his sons.

B. He thought that John was smart.

C. He was requested to do so by DHS.

D. He wanted to give John a safe home.

3.How did Thompson’s family feel about his decision?

A. Supportive.　　 B. Excited.　　 C. Doubtful.　　 D. Uncaring.

4.What does the underlined word adopt mean?

A. take into one’s family　　 B. take care of　　 C. take up　　 D. take over

5.What can we infer from the article?

A. It wasn’t the first time for Thompson to adopt a child.

B. John was born in prison like his sister.

C. Fruenr showed great respect to Thompson.

D. Thompson regretted bringing John home.
