Imagine on your way out of class today you trip (绊倒) on a rock and twist your ankle. As a result of the injury, you lose your place in the local sports team, and have to miss an important job interview. Bad luck? Or an opportunity to get rich quick? Perhaps it's not surprising that an American woman, Roslyn Darch of Houston, Texas, USA felt annoyed when she tripped over a child running around a furniture store, and broke her ankle. But a few months later, she was $ 780,000 richer after successfully suing (控告) the shop. The owners were clearly surprised at the size of Roslyn's payout, particularly since the child she tripped over was her own son. And it's not only suing cases of physical injuries that are keeping the lawyers busy. A group of overweight New York teenagers sued a giant fast-food company saying that they had not had enough warning that a diet of burgers, fries, and milk shakes would make them fat. Apart from shop and restaurant, school is not a safe place, either. In an even more strange case, the parents of one nineteen-year-old English schoolgirl successfully sued her school for a compensation (赔偿) of £ 42,000 when she failed to get a top grade in a university entrance exam. If you think that going on holiday is a good way to get away from all this trouble, think again-in Britain, millions of people sued travel companies, and many receive some form of compensation. Staff at those companies are used to dealing with requests for compensation following poor weather, cancelled air travels and lost luggage. And recently there was a case from someone who said his holiday was ruined because the locals didn't speak English. Who knows where it will end? Maybe there should be punishment for unreasonable demands, or there should be a limit on payouts. But one thing is for sure-in the end, the only certain winner is the lawyer! 【1】How many examples of suing cases are mentioned in the passage? A.2 B.3 C.4 D.5 【2】The writer's attitude towards the suing cases is _____. A.supportive B.uncertain C.uninterested D.disapproving 【3】What is the best title for the passage? A.To sue or not to sue? B.Successful suing cases C.Compensation counts D.Different forms of compensation |

Welcome to Sight Word Tales-the fun, motivating way to learn sight words! These delightful stories teach the top 100 Dolch words-long recognized as the most important words to learn in order to form a basis for reading success-all in an appealing, engaging context. ① What are sight words? Reading research shows that 50 to 75 percent of text is made up of common, repeated words. Knowing these words by sight-that is, being able to recognize them immediately and without thought-greatly increases reading fluency and comprehension. The Sight Word Tales program includes the 100 most frequently repeated words children are likely to meet in their reading material. Take a look at these sentences: We like to read. Some books are very good. It's likely that you were able to take in the meaning of each sentence as a whole, simply because words such as we, like, to, some, are, very, and good are so familiar that they hardly require a glance to tell meaning. As adult readers, we may take this lightning-fast process for granted. But to a child who is just beginning to read, these sentences look quite different. Children who need to analyze each letter in order to sound out the words we, like, and to may have already forgotten their meaning by the time they get to the word read. In order to comprehend the sentence, they would then need to go back to the beginning and read it a second time. Now imagine going on to the next sentence and going through the same process all over again. How likely is it that you would remember the first sentence once you'd figured out the second? ② It's clear that learning sight words-also called high-frequency words-is important to reading success. The ability to recognize a word immediately is called automaticity, and it is particularly important in English because many of the most commonly repeated words do not follow regular phonetic (语音) rules. ③ Of course, phonics is a basic part of any balanced learning program, but words such as come, would, and what cannot be truly made out and therefore require memorization. Research has shown that only depending on context and exposure to language, hoping children will simply “pick up” sight words at their own pace, is a losing strategy. Sight words must be taught directly. On the other hand, studying and memorizing lists of words is unlikely to engage children. ④ With this program, you get the best of both words-an opportunity to provide direct, targeted instruction while addressing meaning, context, and children's need for fun, all at the same time. So open up a Sight Word Tale and open the door to reading success! 【1】“Dolch words” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to ______. A.familiar words B.high-frequency words C.reading words D.long words 【2】Why does the writer mention the sentences “We like to read. Some books are very good.”? A.To explain why teach sight words. B.To prove that sight words are familiar. C.To compare the meaning of each sentence. D.To explain why children must read books. 【3】Where could the sentence “That's where Sight Word Tales comes in!” most probably be put? A.① B.② C.③ D.④ 【4】What's the purpose of this passage? A.To teach children reading. B.To tell children fun stories. C.To instruct us to repeat words. D.To introduce Sight Word Tales. |

Meg. Jo, Amy and Beth live with their mother Mrs. March while their father is fighting in the Civil War. The family doesn’t have much money. They live next door to M. Laurence, who is very wealthy, and his grandson, Laurie. The passage below is about Beth, who loves to play the piano. The March family only has a small, out-of-tune piano. The “Mansion of Bliss” is Mr. Laurence’s house. But Beth, though dying for the grand piano, could not gather courage to go to the Mansion of Bliss’. She went once with Jo; but Mr. Laurence, not being aware of her weakness, stared at her so hard from under his heavy eyebrows, and said “Hey!” so loud, that he frightened her so much, her feet chattered on the floor, she never told her mother; and she ran away, declaring she would never go there any more, not even for the dear piano. No comfort could overcome her fears, till the fact coming to Mr. Laurence’s ear in some way, he set about mending matters. During one of the brief visits he made, he artfully led the conversation to music, and told such attractive stories that Beth found it impossible to stay in her distant corner, but moved nearer and nearer, as if interested. At the back of his chair she stopped, and stood listening with her great eyes wide open, and her cheeks red with the excitement of this unusual performance. Taking no more notice of her than if she had been a fly, Mr. Laurence talked on about Laurie’s lessons and teachers: and as if the idea had just occurred to him, he said to Mrs. March: “The boy pays little attention to his music now. But the piano suffers for lack of use. Wouldn’t some of your girls like to run over, and practise on it now and then, just to keep it in tune, you know, madam?” Beth took a step forward, and pressed her hands tightly together to keep from clapping them and the thought of practising on that splendid instrument quite took her breath away. Before Mrs. March could reply, Mr. Laurence went on: “They needn’t see or speak to anyone, but run in at any time: for I’m shut up in my study at the other end of the house, Laurie is out a great deal, and the servants are never near after nine o’clock.” Here he rose, as if going. “Please tell the young ladies what I say; and if they don’t care to come, why, never mind.” “Oh, sir, they do care, very, very much!” Beth finally made up her mind to speak, in her eager yet shy way. “Are you the musical girl?” he asked, without any frightening “Hey!” as he looked down at her very kindly. “I’m Beth. I love it dearly, and I’ll come, if you are quite sure nobody will hear me-and be disturbed,” she added, fearing to be rude, and trembling at her own courage as she spoke. “Not a soul, my dear. The house is empty half the day; so come as much as you like.” “How kind you are, sir!” Beth blushed like a rose under the friendly look he wore; but she was not frightened now, and gave the big hand a grateful squeeze, because she had no words to thank him for the precious gift he had given her. 【1】According to the passage, Beth’s fear may result from ______. A.dying for playing the piano B.her being very weak C.going to Mr. Laurence’s house D.Mr. Laurence's staring and a loud greeting 【2】From the underlined sentence “Taking no more notice of her than if she had been a fly”, we know Mr Laurence ______. A.considered Beth as a fly B.pretended not to see Beth C.didn't notice Beth at all D.thought more of Beth than a fly 【3】Why did Mr. Laurence say “They needn’t see or speak to anyone” in paragraph 4? A.Because other people in the house didn’t like Beth and Jo at all. B.Because there was nobody in the house when Beth came to play. C.Because he wanted Beth to feel comfortable coming to his house. D.Because Laurie wasn’t at home and Beth had no one to play with. 【4】The correct order of the following events in the passage is ______. a. Mr. Laurence visits the Marches. b. Mr. Laurence talks about music. c. Beth says she’ll play Mr. Laurence' piano. d. Beth and Jo visit the ‘Mansion of Bliss’ e. Beth listens in a corner. f. Mr. Laurence invites the sisters to play the piano. g. Mr. Laurence says “Hey!” to Beth. A.d-g-a-b-e-f-c B.d-g-a-f-e-b-c C.a-g-b-e-f-d-c D.a-g-d-b-e-f-c 【5】From the passage, we know Mr. Laurence is ______. A.rude but attractive B.kind but weak C.friendly and thoughtful D.mysterious and attractive |
