高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

I’m an ocean lover. Living in Montreal, far away from the ocean, makes it even more a dreamland for me. 1. And I’ve been doing it for the last 20 years.

When I was younger, I would pick up seashells and little stones and bring them back home. 2. But as I visited the ocean more and more, I started picking up the garbage left by some polluting people. I picked up less and less “ocean treasure”. 3.

I realized that a stone or seashell we find in the ocean has a wonderful color that makes us pick it up. But when it dries up one day, or we don’t find what we have kept lovely anymore, what can we do then? 4. At the same time, I also realized that natural things are nice in their natural environment. If everybody picked up every shell from the ocean, and left garbage out there, the beach would become something not so nice very shortly.

5. I would just “borrow” seashells or little stones from the ocean, and bring them back after a while, since the beauty of shells does so much good to me.

I control the quantity and keep it to the smallest number. So if you’ve seen a lady picking up garbage and throwing shells back into the ocean from a box or a bag on a beautiful sunny day, don’t feel strange. It was probably me.

A. So I made a decision that day.

B. I began to question my habits.

C. I try to visit it at the very least, once a year.

D. I will regret why I picked it up in the first place.

E. I had lots of them on my shelves, floors, desks, etc.

F. The ocean influences life in California in many ways.

G. Ocean lovers from all walks of life should come together to protect it.

高二英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析

Jessica Westervelt, a Spanish teacher at Bethlehem High School in New York, created an activity called "House Hunters", which was inspired by the popular television show "House Hunters International", for her Spanish class about four years ago.

Similar to the show, students work in groups, pretending to be real house agents, and look for three houses in Spanish-speaking countries. She uses the activity to teach vocabulary related to the home, chores, travel and vacation. She created the exercise because she wanted to incorporate her students' interests into the curriculum（课程）. At the time, a group of her students were big fans of the show.

The students look for a home for Westervelt to buy to live in, or rent for vacation. She tells them what she is looking for in a home and gives them a budget. Students work in groups of three, and each group is responsible for finding one house in a Spanish-speaking country that fits the requirements.

The groups usually make a brochure describing the houses they find. Each group presents their findings to the class, while the other students take notes. The entire activity is done in Spanish, so students get to practice their writing, listening and conversation skills. They also get some cultural education when researching homes in Spanish-speaking countries. Westervelt says that students planning to take the class look forward to her project.

Westervelt says, "I think any time that you can find a way to link into something that they are interested in outside of school, it makes it more realistic for them and it makes that activity much more enjoyable for them."

1.How did Westervelt come up with the idea of the activity?

A. She got it from a TV program.　　 B. She was inspired by her students.

C. She learned it from a house agent.　　 D. She was taught that in high school.

2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "incorporate" in Paragraph 2?

A. change.　　 B. absorb.　　 C. force.　　 D. persuade.

3.What are the students supposed to do with the houses they find?

A. Live in the houses for a while.　　 B. Rent the houses for their vacation.

C. Write an introduction to the houses.　　 D. Choose and buy one for their teacher.

4.What do Westervelt's words in the last paragraph mean?

A. Most school activities are not enjoyable.

B. Students should be realistic about study.

C. Out-of-school activities are very important.

D. Learning should be combined with interest.
