People hold different views on what or how much homework should be. It is partly due to(由于) the fact that people can’t seem to agree on the purpose of homework.

Some teachers think that homework is necessary to reinforce (巩固)what is learned in school. And so they ask their students to memorize what was discussed in class through homework. Some teachers think the point of homework is to cover material that the class didn’t have time to get to, so their homework is to let students learn additional things. Other teachers like homework simply because they want students to form work habits and still others believe homework is necessary because it’s the best way for parents to learn what their children do in school.

However, many parents seem to have different ideas. Elisa Cohen, who has twins at Lafayette Elementary School, doesn’t like the fact that third-grade students in DC elementary schools are asked to write about 25 book summaries a year. She said, “They do the same thing over and over without really getting into alternate (交替的) ways of thinking about books, reading and writing.”

Some education reformers (改革者), such as Howard Gardner, a Harvard University professor well-known for his theory on multiple intelligence, think that Cohen is on the right track. But it’s often hard to persuade overworked teachers to give much thought to homework tasks.

1. How many opinions do the teachers have on “homework”?

A.3.    B.4.    C.5.    D.6.

2. According to the experts’ opinions, ___________.

A. what Cohen’s thinking about is correct

B. teachers shouldn’t work too hard or too long

C. teachers should give necessary work to the students

D. teachers should let the students repeat what they didn’t have time to get in class

3.What’s the problem with Elisa Cohen’s twins in writing about their book report?

A. They find homework really hard.

B. They simply copy one repeatedly.

C. They get different ways of thinking about their work.

D. They aren’t given much thinking about what they read.

4.Some education reformers think we should improve our school education by_____.

A. increasing homework　　　　　 B. changing schools

C. changing teachers 　　　　　　 D. reducing homework

Different people have different views on opportunity. 1. Others, however, argue that everybody will have some kind of opportunity during his life.

As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter opinion. 2. No person will be unlucky enough to have no opportunities all the time, because “every dog has his day”. For another, since opportunities don’t come often, we have to make good preparations and improve ourselves. Opportunities may easily slip away otherwise. 3.

Taking all these factors into consideration, we may safely come to the conclusion that there are quite a few opportunities in our society. Only if we get well prepared can we recognize opportunity, seize opportunity and take full advantage of opportunity. 4.

根据短文内容，从A、B、 C、D和E中选出最适合放入短文空缺处的选项。选项中有一项是多余的。

A. In summary, opportunities play the most important role on the road to success

B. For one thing, I firmly believe opportunities are everywhere around us

C. Some people think that there are few opportunities in the world

D. As the saying goes, opportunities are only for the prepared minds

E. Just think of Isaac Newton, who discovered the Law of Gravity when many people had watched an apple falling ahead of them

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Which comes first,happiness or money?Are richer people happier?And if so,how do people get much richer?A recent study could tell you the answer.

The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29.Those who were happiest earned an average of $8,000 more than those who were the most depressed.

The researchers,from University College London and the University of Warwick,say that very gloomy teens,no matter how tall or smart they were,earned 10% less than their peers,while the happier ones earned up to 30% more.

Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school,college and a job interview,chiefly because they always feel better about life.It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends,who are often the key to homework help or networking.

A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness.In August scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women,Alas (the same gene doesn't appear to have the same effect on men).And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest.

The big question is: if it really is true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids,is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework?The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades. Studies do show,after all,that more education leads to better-paid jobs,which may give us a deep thought.

"These findings show that the teenagers’ happiness is important to their future success,"one of the report's authors writes."But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork."

1.What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study?

A. Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier.

B. Money can make people become happier.

C. Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all.

D. Schoolwork can help teens achieve success.

2.The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that_____.

A. they are easy to communicate with others

B. they are good at doing their schoolwork

C. they are hopeful and optimistic about their life

D. they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day

3.The underlined word “gloomy” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.

A. upset　　 B. glorious

C. happy　　 D. wealthy

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A. The way to educate kids.　　 B. The source of happiness.

C. How to achieve your goal.　　 D. The secret of being wealthier.

As you may expect, life in space is much different from life on earth. So of course people need some time to get used to it. How do they live, work and play up there?

Space food keeps getting more like the food we eat at home on the earth. In the past, astronauts could eat only freeze-dried food. But now the space station has water, microwave ovens and fridges. So astronauts can eat more usual kinds of food, like fruit, vegetables and ice cream!

All people in the ISS（国际空间站）have their own rooms. There’s no gravity, so they have to attach themselves to their beds, or they’ll float away! That may seem like a hard way to sleep, but astronauts say that sleeping in space is actually not too bad.

This is more important in space than on Earth. There’s not much gravity in space. Astronauts don’t stand up, sit down or walk in space, so their muscles don’t have to work much. They exercise on bikes and other machines for about two hours every day while they’re in space. In this way, they can still keep strong and healthy when they get back home.

Easy things like brushing your teeth can be hard in space with low gravity. Water doesn’t flow out of a tap, it floats in a bubble（水泡）! Astronauts used a special hose（软管）to take showers. And when they’re finished, they use a vacuum（真空的）hose to suck the dirty water off of their bodies. How do you go to the toilet in space? They use a special “air toilet”. It uses air, not water, to take everything away.

What do astronauts do when they aren’t working? They read books, play cards, listen to music or send e-mail to their friends and family. Sometimes they just sit and look out the window. Doesn’t sound like much fun? But what if you could see planet Earth out of your window, with a sunset or sunrise every 45 minutes?

1． Which of the following can be the title of this passage?

A. Life In Space.        B. Space Food. C. Showers In Space.        D. A Visit To Space

2．From this passage we know that _______.

A. astronauts eat quite different food in space from what they eat on the earth

B. astronauts ate only fruit in space in the past

C. astronauts can only eat freeze-dried food now

D. astronauts can only eat fruit and vegetables now

3．Astronauts attach themselves to bed so as to ________.

A. keep themselves warm                                             B. prevent themselves from floating away

C. have a good sleep                                                       D. feel better

4．Astronauts have to do exercise for two hours every day because ________.

A. they have nothing to do in space                  B. they are told to do so

C. they do so to keep healthy                              D. they do so to prevent them from sleeping

5．From the last paragraph we can guess that ________.

A. the sun moves fast around the earth

B. the earth circles round the sun very fast

C. the earth is very small

D. the spaceship circles round the earth once every 90 imnutes

How to say hello in Japanese depends on(取决于) when you say it. This is very much like different greetings used in English at different times of the day or night. In Japanese culture, it also depends on whether you are on the phone or meeting somebody or whether you are close to the person you are greeting. We don’t get formal with our close friends. We seldom greet them with “Good morning “ or “Good evening”. A “Hi” is enough.

Although the most popular and most well-known translation for “Hello” is still “Konnichiwa”, it is not exactly how to say hello in Japanese. It is not the most suitable word for it. Actually, the correct greeting in English for “Konnichiwa” is “Good day” or “Good noon,” and I am sure you wouldn’t like greeting people with a “Good day” at any time, and neither do Japanese like saying “Konnichiwa” when they want to say “Hello”.

So what to do? Let’s do it the way the Japanese do. Use “Ohaiyo Gozaimasu” for “Good morning”, “Konnichiwa” when it’s noon and “Konbanwa” to greet somebody in the afternoon. Things differ when you are on the phone. Just say “Moshi, Moshi”, which is actually similar to saying “Hello” over the phone, because one hardly ever uses “Good morning” or “Good evening” right after picking up the phone. Next time, I’ll tell something about my life in Japan.

1.What is the best title for this passage?

A.How to greet close friends in Japanese. B.How to greet people in Japanese.

C.Some difference between English and Japanese. D.How to say hello in Japanese.

2.Japanese people greet each other by saying “______” in the afternoon.

A.Konnichiwa B.Ohaiyo Gozaimasu C.Konbanwa D.A.Moshi, Moshi

3.In the writer’s opinion,______.

A.Japanese people don’t like using “Konnichiwa” as a greeting for the whole day.

B.people don’t need to be polite to their close friends

C.Japanese people are very friendly to each other

D.Japanese culture is similar to American culture

4.We can learn from the passage that the writer_______.

A.lived in Japan for some time B.is working in a radio station now

C.knows both Japanese and Chinese D.is from Britain
