(阅读理解题)A few years ago I was shopping with a friend and his 12-year-old daughter in downtown San Francisco. A street musician, whom my friend happened to know from his own musician days, was playing the saxophone (萨克斯管) on a street corner. His name was Clifford, and he had attracted a large crowd with his performance. After he finished, my friend introduced him to me and his daughter. Clifford asked her if she played any instrument. When she replied that she was taking trumpet (小号) lessons and played in her junior high school band, he said, “That is fine, little lady. Learn your instrument well and you can play anything.” Somehow these simple yet wise words struck me as appropriate not only for a trumpet player but also for a reader. If you learn to read well, you can read anything you want—not just newspapers and magazines, but more difficult material like philosophy, file criticism, military history—whatever interests you as your confidence grows. You would not be limited in any way. If you have the vocabulary—or at least a good dictionary near at hand—you can pick up a book, concentrate on it, and make sense of the author's words. In the United States, reading instruction often ends at elementary school, so students sometimes have difficulty as they progress through school. They must take their assignments armed only with their elementary school reading skills. The result, too often, is frustration and loss of confidence. And the assigned reading in your college courses will be even greater than they were in high school. Developing Reading Skills is designed to accomplish several tasks to show you the skills that will enable you to read with greater comprehension, to help you cope with reading assignments with confidence, and to teach you to become an active reader.

(1).The author develops his point by starting with ______.

A、an example

B、an accident

C、a statement

D、a contrast

(2).Which of the following statements is implied in Paragraph 1？

A、Clifford was good at playing the saxophone

B、The author’s friend was once a street musician

C、The 12-year-old girl played the trumpet very poorly

D、Clifford was a good music teacher

(3).How does the author think about Clifford’s words？

A、humorous, correct, simple

B、ridiculous, incorrect, ludicrous

C、wise, plain, correct

D、stupid, useless, incorrect

(4).With good reading skills, you can ______.

A、understand anything you read with few difficulties

B、work out the author's meaning if only you concentrate on the book

C、understand what you read with the help of a good dictionary

D、concentrate on whatever you read

(5).It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Developing Reading skills ______.

A、is directed to elementary school students

B、centers around vocabulary building skills

C、offers elementary reading skills

the money we have, what we can’t buy because we don’t have enough and what we’re planning to buy when we have more. We discuss the careers that bring us money and the expenses that take it away. We talk about our favourite shops and restaurants, the causes we support, the places we’ve been and seen. We share dreams that only money can make real.

In short, we talk about everything but money itself. In daily life, money is still a major conversational taboo. This is a shame, because money is as interesting as the things it does and buys, and the more you know about it, the more interesting it is.

As a financial advisor, I’ve seen hundreds of people learn to control their money instead of letting it control them and watched as they increased as they increased their freedom, power and security by handling money consciously. Wouldn’t you like to know that you’ll always have enough money to live exactly as you want to？

You will never be powerful in life until you ’re powerful over your own money. Talking openly about it is the first step.

Which of the following is NOT discussed when we talk about money？

A.The careers that bring us money

B.The causes we support

C.The dreams that only money can make real

D.Money itself

What can we know from the second paragraph？A.We should know more about money itself rather than avoid talking about it.

B.Money itself can interest us and bring us happiness.

C.we should not be so worried about money if we want to have a free life

D.the more money you have, the more powerful you are

请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析，谢谢！

I want to translate the Web into every major language: every webpage, every video, and,yes, even Justin Bieber' s tweets.

Nowadays, most of the Web is inaccessible(不能接触的)to most people in the world because its content splits up into hundreds of languages with over 50% of it in English.This problem is pressing, now more than ever, with millions of people from China, Russia,Latin America and other quickly developing regions entering the Web.

There are certainly systems (like Google translate) that are improving every day at translating the gist of things written in other languages than English. Unfortunately, they are not yet accurate enough: even when what they spit out is intelligible(智能的),it’s so badly written that people can't read more than a few lines before getting a headache.

This is why a new project called Duo lingo is introduced here. Duo lingo aims at breaking the language barrier, and thus making the Web truly”world wide.”

The idea behind Duo lingo is to kill two birds with one stone by solving both of these problems simultaneously. It is accomplished by transforming language translation into something that anyone can do一not just bilinguals一and that millions of people want to do: learning a foreign language. It is estimated that over one billion people worldwide are learning a foreign language, with millions doing so using computer programs.

With Duo lingo, people learn and translate a foreign language at the same time. When you learn on Duo lingo, the website gives you exercises set specifically for you that teach you every aspect of the new language. You may be asked to translate a sentence, to pronounce or listen to a phrase, or to describe what you see in an image. In this way, Duo lingo produces translations that are as accurate as those from professional language translators.

26. What does the author want to do？().

A. Business communication.

B. Online Translation.

C. Door-to-door sales.

27. According to the article, most people in the world can’t receive most of the information on the Web due to the problem of().

A. different languages

B. social conflicts

C. governmental disagreement

28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a problem of many translating systems？().

A. They are not accurate enough.

B. They don’t work every day.

C. The translations are badly written.

29. to kill two birds with one stone means to().

A. Spend time and moneymaking success

B. Do things without conside1ing its results

C. Solve both problems with only one move

30. What can you be asked to do to while using Duo lingo？().

A. To the product with others

B. To pay for the exercises you learn

C. To describe the image that you see

(阅读理解题)Advertisements make us want too much, so we get the idea that the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods.But it is not completely right.Advertisement has another equally important function—to inform.A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read.Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about.Supposing you wanted to buy a washer, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted.It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days.And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements.Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train？ Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper？ A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of bad news.We must not forget that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets.Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not subsist without this source of revenue.The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programs is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers.Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price! Another thing we mustn’t forget is the ‘small ads.’ in virtually every newspaper and magazine.What a tremendously useful service they perform. for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns.For instance, you can find a job; buy or sell a house; announce a birth, marriage, or death in these small ads.
