根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

    The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we've never been before.

    But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line.  Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes. For anything you're about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person's face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread.

    If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct(本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.

    Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it's a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it's a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended(冒犯). It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital(婚姻的) status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don't ask such questions.

A. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.

B. It's natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.

C. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you'd feel comfortable saying the words to the person's face.

D. Everyone was new to the network once.

E. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.

F. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.

G. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.

    Walt Whitman was born in 1819 in Long Island, New York. Whitman received most of his education outside of the classroom. At the age of eleven, he worked in a law office as an office boy where he became interested in reading. He was soon reading the works of famous authors like William Shakespeare and Homer, and was well on his way to becoming one of America's most well-known poets.

    By the time Whitman was seventeen years old, he had already worked as a printer's learner, a worker, and a learning games to help his students with spelling and maths. In his early twenties, however, he gave up teaching to pursue(追求)a full-time career as a journalist and poet.

    When Walt Whitman first appeared as a poet, his arrival onto the American literary scene was met with controversy. His first collection of poems, Leaves of Grass, was so unusual that no commercial publisher would print the work. In 1855 Whitman published, at his own expense, the first edition of his collection of twelve poems.

    Whitman's poetic style was uncommon in the sense that he wrote poems in a form called parallelism(对句法), in which his goal was to copy the flow of the sea and the quickly-passing nature of human emotion. A common theme in Whitman's poetry is self-realization. In his works, Whitman moves from conventional patterns of rhyme to create a unique rhythm and a multi-layered, but truly American voice.

    "Although Whitman was considered a revolutionary by many, there is little doubt he loved his country deeply." In his writing, he used slang(俚语)and various images, or voices, to create a sense of national unity.

    For Whitman, the "proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it." Whitman has undoubtedly become a part of the cultural history and image of America.

  1. (1) Paragraph 2 mainly talks about       .
    A . Whitman's education B . Whitman's early career C . how Whitman became a poet D . why Whitman's poems were popular
  2. (2) When Whitman first appeared as a poet,       .
    A . he received a warm welcome B . his literary road was not easy C . he became famous for his unusual style D . his poetic style was copied by other poets
  3. (3) What was Whitman's greatest literary contribution?
    A . He expressed human emotions in his writing. B . He showed the flow of the sea in his poems. C . He used slang to show his love for his country. D . He created a unique rhythm and an American voice.
Tom is (扩大) his story into a novel.

Dear John,

    My name is Amber and I want to share my story with you because what you've shared about life and positive energy has changed my life. This past year has been one of the hardest for me. I felt I was stuck in a position that had nothing to do with what I wanted to do with my life. In January, after two years of being together, my boyfriend left me.

    I read your blog every morning as I drink my coffee at work, but it wasn't until this March that I told myself "no more negativity" as you taught readers in your blog.

    Since then I've got into new habits at work to keep my energy positive. When people walk in the front door, I'm the first face they see, so I smile big when I say "good morning" to them, especially on Mondays. Instead of waiting for someone to ask me for help, I offer it with an open mind. The CEO noticed my change and offered me the executive assistant position that I wanted.

   One of the biggest things I've taken to heart from your blog is changing my opinions on my job. Yes, it was not an important position, but when I was passionate (热情的) about it, I could make my life fulfilling.

    All in all, I have to thank you somehow for having the passion to help others because it truly is inspiring to me. So thank you so much, John. My life has changed because your words pointed me in the right direction, Take care!

Sincerely ,

Amber

    For long, there was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he would hammer a nail in the back fence.

    The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Then it gradually dwindled(逐渐减少) down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.

    He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day when he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. A verbal (言语的) wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us. Show your friends how much you care.”

    It was the first snow of winter—an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, I had been able to dress myself for recess(课间休息), but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher at Princess Elizabeth School near Hamilton, Ontario, had been through first snow days many times in her long career, but I think she may still remember this one.

    I managed to get into my wool snow pants. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn't fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and matching scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots. In her calm, motherly voice she said, "By the end of winter, you will be able to put on your own boots." I didn't realise at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence.

    I handed her my boots and stuck out my feet. Like most children, I expected the adult to do all the work. After much wiggling and pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.

    I announced, "They're on the wrong feet." With the grace that only experience can bring, she struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again. Then I said, "These aren't my boots, you know." As she pulled the offending boots from my feet, she still managed to look both helpful and interested. Once they were off, I said, "They are my brother's boots. My mother makes me wear them, and I hate them!" Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn't an annoying little girl. She pushed and shoved, less gently this time, and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet. With a great sigh of relief, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, "Now, where are your gloves?"

    I looked into her eyes and said, "I didn't want to lose them, so I put them into the toes of my boots."

  1. (1) According to the passage, the little girl got          from her brother.  
    A . the wool snow pants and the jacket B . the jacket and the boots C . the jacket and the hat D . the boots and the gloves
  2. (2) What made it so hard for the teacher to help the little girl put her boots on?
    A . The gloves in the toes of the boots. B . The slowness of the teacher. C . The wrong size of the boots. D . The big feet of the girl.
  3. (3) Which of the following sentences from the passage best indicates that the teacher is very considerate?
    A . In her calm, motherly voice she said, "By the end of winter…"(Paragraph 2) B . With the grace that only experience can bring, she struggled to.… (Paragraph 4) C . she still managed to look both helpful and interested. (Paragraph 4) D . she managed to act as though I wasn't an annoying little girl. (Paragraph 4)
I'd like to take this (机会) to thank everyone for their hard work on the project.

    No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”,until it has been read aloud by someone,a teacher or a student.Better still,perhaps,is the practice of reading it twice,once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end,so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.

    All discussions of poetry are,in fact,preparations for reading it aloud,and the reading of the poem is,finally,the most telling “interpretation” of it,suggesting tone,rhythm,and meaning all at once.Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice,on records or on film,is obviously a special reward.But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and the teacher reading it or,best of all,reciting it.

    I have come to think,in fact,that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it,if there isn't time for both.I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry.Poetry is “a criticism of life” and “a heightening(提升)of life”.It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”,and it “can save your life”.It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.

    I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else.But those,who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature,about its sound as well as its sense,and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.

  1. (1) According to the passage,to have a better understanding of a poem,the best way is  

    A . to discuss it with others B . to analyze it by oneself C . to hear it read out D . to practice reading it aloud
  2. (2) What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply(暗示)?

    A . The teaching of poetry should have been much more stressed. B . The teaching of poetry is more important than the teaching of any other subject. C . One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry. D . Poetry is the foundation of all languages and literature courses.
  3. (3) The underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by“   ”.

    A . build a booth B . provide equipment C . leave a certain amount of time D . set aside enough space
  4. (4) Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry?

    A . Extending your life. B . Saving your life. C . Criticizing life. D . Heightening life.

The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L'Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist's showman qualities.

    The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.

    The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.

    The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作) with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.

    A . Optimistic. B . Productive. C . Generous. D . Traditional.

    A . By popularity. B . By importance. C . By size and shape. D . By time and subject.
  4. (4) What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?

    A . Artworks. B . Projects C . Donations. D . Documents.

    Death rates for heart disease in Britain have dropped by more than 40 percent in a decade, UK scientists will report today.

    Wide uptake of cholesterol­busting station drugs(降胆固醇药), healthier lifestyles and better medical practices have seen a huge reduction in deaths caused by heart attacks, stroke and other cardiovascular(心血管的)problems.

    However, heart disease remains Britain's biggest killer.

    The new study, by experts at Oxford University, shows there has been a 44. 4 percent drop in death rates among men in the UK and a 43. 6 percent drop among women linked to heart problems in the ten years to 2011.

    The team compared death rate associated with cardiovascular disease across Europe. They found that Britain has one of the best records in Europe, with 342 deaths as a result of heart disease per 100,000 men in 2011, and 232 per 100, 000 women.

    Some nations—including Ukraine, Macedonia and Moldova—see more than 1,000 heart deaths per 100,000 of the population.

    Overall, heart disease causes 45 percent of all deaths across Europe, but only 27 percent in the UK. The study, led by Dr. Nick Townsend, showed that cardiovascular disease is mainly a disease of old age.

    But researchers said that across Europe it still causes more than 1. 4 million deaths in those aged under 75 and nearly 700,000 deaths in under 65s. Dr. Townsend said: "Cardiovascular disease results in 49 percent of deaths among women and 41 percent among men."

  1. (1) From the text we can know ________.
    A . heart disease no longer threatens the British B . the heart death rate among British men is lower than among women C . the old mainly dies of stroke in Europe D . the heart death rate in Ukraine is higher than in Britain
  2. (2) What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to?
    A . Stroke. B . Cardiovascular disease. C . Lung disease. D . Heart attacks.
  3. (3) How does the author support his idea?
    A . By analyzing data. B . By following processes. C . By describing his own experiences. D . By discussing research experiments.
