What are you going to do if you are in a burning house？ How will you escape？ Do you know how to save yourself？ Please read the following passage.

Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save you life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family， such as stairways and fire escapes， but not lifts.

From the lower floors of the buildings， escaping through windows is possible， learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.

The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person， hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course， it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.

Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked（渗） into the room.

On a second or third floor， the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement（水泥） might end in injury. Bushes（灌木丛） and grass can help to break a fall.

Do you live in a city? You’ve probably noticed how noisy and crowded life in a city can be. What if you could live next to a calm lake instead?

As it turns out, living near bodies of water – lakes, rivers, ponds, even oceans – can help us feel both happier and healthier. Those who live less than a kilometer from the coast are around 22 percent less likely to have mental health problems than those who live 50 kilometers or more away, according to a study by researchers from the University of Exeter, UK. People who visit the coast at least twice a week tend to experience better general and mental health as well.

So how does “blue space” make us feel better? For one thing, aquatic environments tend to have less pollution and more sunlight, both of which are linked to better mental and physical health. People who get more sun tend to be happier than those who do not.

There’s also the air above the sea. After spending time near the ocean, you might find that you feel more relaxed than usual. This is because sea air is filled with negative ions（负离子）. These ions balance our levels of serotonin（血清素）, a chemical that affects our moods. With balanced serotonin levels, we feel more calm and relaxed, according to Daily Mail.

Finally, people who live near water tend to be more physically active, according to the Guardian. Water sports like swimming and rowing can help us stay in shape, which in turn keeps us healthy.

1.What did the researchers from the University of Exeter find?

A.Living near water can improve our mental health.

B.An increasing number of people don’t like living in cities.

C.Living near water has more advantages than living in cities.

D.People with mental health problems mainly come from cities.

2.The underlined word “aquatic” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “_____”.

A.natural

B.outdoor

C.oceanic

D.clean

3.What do we know about negative ions?

A.They are chemicals in our bodies.

B.They can only be found in sea air.

C.They can help people reduce stress.

D.They increase serotonin in our bodies.

4.In which column can you find this passage?

A.Health.

B.Travel.

C.Environment.

D.Entertainment.

Knowing how and when to say goodbye is often difficult, even in informal situations. 1. It will help you maintain your relationships and let people know you care. It’s also easier than it seems sometimes. Read on to learn how to recognize opportunities and predict others’ needs when you leave.

Recognize when to leave. When you’re at any kind of party, or even a one-on-one conversation，it can be difficult to get away. Learning to recognize good opportunities to leave will make a goodbye much easier. 2. If more than half the people have left, it might be a good time to leave.

3. Overstaying your welcome is rude, but it can often be difficult to distinguish. People don’t like telling you that they’d like you to leave，so try to watch for signals. This may be some other family members starting to check their watch or even pack up or the fact that there is hardly anyone left.

Make plans to see each other again. Saying, “See you at school tomorrow” or “Can’t wait to see you again at Christmas” keeps the goodbye light and focused forward. If you haven’t already made plans, use it as an opportunity to make them.4.

Tell the truth. It can be tempting to come up with a “good excuse” when you’re ready to leave. You don’t need to. 5. It doesn’t need to be any more complicated than that.

A. Watch body language.

B. Leave when you want.

C. Notice if the crowd seems to be decreasing.

D. Even saying, “See you soon” suggests just that.

E. If you want to leave, just say, “I’ll be going. See you later.”

G. Don’t make plans with people you don’t really care about saying goodbye to.

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

If you want to know how crazy people can be about their pets, you might remember that Helmsley left $12 million to her little Maltese dog when she died last year.

The dog's name is Trouble. And apparently Trouble is still alive. Of course, I would hang on, too, if someone left me $12 million. Look! Top-shelf dog food, soft pillows everywhere, drivers walking me in nice leafy parks. I would live to be 110 in dog years.

The dog's story is still fresh in my mind the other night when I leave a steak house after a superb meal. Then I notice a woman carrying a small bag out of the door behind me.

Once outside, she walks over to where a man is holding a tiny dog and it's a baby. The dog looks like a Maltese, too, barking and annoying, with a cute haircut,

And now I am treated to an absolute astonishing sight. Because now the woman reaches into the bag and begins pulling out little pieces of meat, which she puts on a plastic spoon and feeds to the dog.

This is no cheap steak house. It's actually, way out of my league --I'm there only because it's a special occasion. I can tell you this: if I walked out of the place with any leftover steak, it sure wouldn't go to a dog. Not at those prices.

So now the woman is Spoon-feeding the dog and the man is just standing there, holding this dog and looking as if this is the most normal thing in the world. And the dog is calmly chewing these pieces of steak as if he's a little king. And this dog is in no hurry. He's having a great time.

A few minutes go by, and now the dog finishes all of his steak. At this point, I hear the woman say to the man "Think he's still hungry?" And she glances behind her at the restaurant, as if she might go back in there to get more steak for the dog.

Watching all this, I'm afraid I'm going to shout, "Are you out of your mind? Feeding all that pricey steak to that little dog? Did you see what our American life is like today? We're all going to be eating dog food if this keeps up!"

1.Why would the author live to be 110 in dog years?

A. Because he is always in poor health and falls ill.

B. Because a Maltese dog lives longer than a human being.

C. Because his grandparents left him a large sum of money.

D. Because he thinks the dog is treated extremely well.

2.What is the story mainly about?

A. An American family's happy life.

B. A Maltese dog getting $12 million from its owner.

C. A New Yorker spending $ 8 billion for a few banks.

D. A pet dog being fed with expensive food.

3.The underlined sentence "It's actually way out of my league. " (in Para. 6) means __

A. the restaurant is too expensive for the author

B. the author hates the dog being taken there

C. the superb restaurant is about to be out of service

D. the dog doesn't belong to the author's group

4.Seeing the dog is being treated to expensive steak, the author becomes extremely ____

A. indifferent　　　　　　 B. annoyed

C. concerned　　　　　　 D. envious

高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Like it or not, there will be difficult times in our lives. You might lose your job, fail in your exams or have an illness. 1. Here are some ways not to lose hope during difficult times.

1. Have faith

2. No matter how bad the situation is, things will turn out to be good in the end. Several years ago I failed to get my master’s degree. It was a really bad experience.3. It was of much better quality than my previous university. Experiences like this strengthen my belief that having faith is important during difficult times.

2. Be around supportive people.

Going through difficult times is hard, and going through them alone is even harder. You need a group of positive people who can support you. 4. If you don’t, my suggestion is to start looking for one. Don’t wait until you need it, because it will be too late by then. You need the community before difficult times come.

3. Help others.

An additional benefit of being in a good community is that it encourages you to think about other people. It pushes you to help others and, therefore, think about other people. 5. As a result, your situation won’t look as bad as it would be otherwise. Often the situation looks worse than it really is because we give too much attention. Shifting (移开) some of your attention away will put the situation in a better view.

A. Your community helps a lot.

B. I changed my attitude towards failure.

C. Whatever it is, it’s important not to lose hope.

D. In this way you take your focus away from yourself

E. But I got a scholarship at an overseas university later.

F. You must believe that things will work out well eventually.

G. You should become part of a community that cares for one another.
