“When I’m on the road driving our taxi I feel very proud，because this is the first taxi service only for women,” says 31­year­old Shanti Sharma, who is one of eight female drivers with a taxi service called Cabs for Women by Women. The last couple of months, since the rape and murder in the city of a college student travelling on a bus, have been particularly busy for her and her colleagues. “After this case，our workload has increased so much,” says Sharma.“Women who used other cab services are also turning to us now.” Most women in Delhi say they routinely face harassment(骚扰), and worse, especially on public transport. Sharma, a single parent with three daughters, has been working as a taxi driver since 2011, when the service was first set up, and it has changed her life. This is the first time that she has earned enough—about 250 a month—to support her family. Of course, she and the other female taxi drivers are completely outnumbered by male cabbies.“When I park somewhere there are always men there and inevitably five or six of them get together and hang out, ” she says.“I’m usually the only woman in the parking lot, so I just stay inside the car.” It’s not much better when she is out on the road. Sharma says the male drivers give her a hard time.“As soon as they see a woman at the wheel they start honking(按喇叭) for no reason. They’ll try to overtake you. I’m always worrying about how to avoid getting hit by someone.” The company behind Cabs for Women by Women, Sakha Consulting Wings, had a number of goals when it set up the service .It wanted to give women from poor backgrounds an opportunity to earn money. By putting women in charge of technologies, it also wanted to change people’s attitudes, and open up boundaries for women. 21、The taxi service Cabs for Women by Women _____. A、is greatly needed at present in India B、causes a hot debate in India C、was set up in 2012 D、is free of charge for women 22、Why are women who used other cab services turning to Cabs for Women by Women？ A、Because it is cheap. B、Because it is safe. C、Because it is famous. D、Because it is convenient. 23、What do we know about Sharma？ A、She is the first female taxi driver in Delhi. B、She lives in harmony with her husband. C、She has regretted becoming a taxi driver. D、She has a better salary after becoming a taxi driver. 24、What is the main idea of the last paragraph？ A、The opportunities Cabs for Women by Women provides for women. B、The main purposes of Cabs for Women by Women. C、People’s attitudes towards Cabs for Women by Women. D、The background information of Cabs for Women by Women.

In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight. Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form. of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them. Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic？ But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and sow that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts. The first paragraph points out that ______. A．there are many disabled people in the world B．the number of disabled people in India is the greatest C．India has much more disabled people than Canada D．it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world' s disabled people

Another way is energy conservation (节能 ), which means using energy more efficiently (有效地 ). In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy. They place materials between the inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in. The house is heated by the lights, the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it. Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form. of these is geothermal energy. In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometer down. At six kilometers, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees. To get the heat, water is pumped (压;抽 ) down into the rocks and back up to the surface. Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries. 1、How many ways of dealing with the energy problem are discussed in the text？ () A、Two. B、Three. C、Four. D、Five. 2、From the text we learn that coal(). A、is quite easy to produce B、is not used most efficiently C、is the most common source of energy D、could be renewed only by new technology 3、The writer tells about the "special houses" because they(). A、show the excellent skills of the builders B、serve as an example of energy conservation C、are heated by different sources of energy D、are warmer than other types of houses 4、The underlined words "geothermal energy" in the third paragraph mean (). A、renewable source B、 underground source C、 heat inside the earth D、 temperature of the earth 5、At a place where the surface temperature is 15°C, how deep do you have to dig so as to get a temperature of 75 °C ？ () A、One km. B、 Two km. C、 Three km. D、 Four km

The puzzle had to do with waves. Though it might seem intuitive that waves carry water to shore, and sand along with it, it's not that simple. The crest(浪尖)of a passing wave lifts a given hit of water upward and landward, but the ensuing trough(波谷) pushes the water back down and Out to sea. Near the bottom, there the sand is, the water was always assumed to just slide back and forth—and the sand with it. "If you take a very aloof look at a beach," says Inman, "you'll realize that if the two motions move sand back and forth the same amount, then all the sand should end up in deep water.' So for beaches to exist, the crest's onshore flow must somehow move enough sand up the beach to counter the seaward tug of both the trough and gravity . The pressure changes in the sand bed, Inman and Conley think, are the key to beach creation. They found that sand doesn't just slide back and forth with each passing wave. Under a trough, it does slide seaward, in a thin layer just above the bottom. But under a crest its movement is often more elaborate. The higher pressure under a crest—higher because the water is piled higher—forces water into the porous(多孔的) sand. This creates strong whirlpools just above the sand, which help loosen it. As the crest passes overhead, the sand first rushes across the bottom; then it abruptly turns violent lifting off the bottom in large, boiling bunches. Finally, just after the crest passes, the sand explodes up into the great water column. The boiling and rushing move more sand than the backsliding under a trough, so there's a net movement of sand toward the shore. What is the primary purpose of this passage？ A．To explain why sand piles up on the beaches. B．To explain why men only prostrate in the sea. C．To propose a new explanation of a phenomenon. D．To refute a misconception.

Banana plants need a lot of care and attention. They must be provided with water if the normal rainfall doesn't supply enough. The area around the plants must be kept free of weeds and grass. About nine or ten months after planting, a flower appears on the banana plant. This flower is at the end of a long stalk(茎), which grows from the base up through the center of the stem and turns downward when it comes out from the top. Small bananas form. on this flower stalk as it grows down- ward. Bananas really grow upside down. As the small bananas form. on the stalk, they point down- ward, but as they grow they mm and point upward. Bananas are harvested while they are still green. Even when they are to be eaten where they are grown, they are not allowed to ripen on the plant. A banana that turns yellow on the plant loses its taste. The first paragraph in the text mainly discusses ______. A．why the banana tree is not a tree B．how the banana grows on the stem C．why the stem of the tree is wood D．how the leaves grow out of the stem

These crimes are not usually committed by people who are poor or in need. Young people often dislike and hate the adult world. They will do things to show that they are rebels. Also in Britain today it is easier for young people to commit crimes because they have more freedom to go where they like and more money to do what they like. There are two other possible causes which are worth mentioning. More and more people in Britain live in large towns. In a large town no one knows who anyone else is or where they live. But in the village I come from crimes are rare because everyone knows everyone else. Although it is difficult to explain, I think the last cause is very important. Perhaps there is something with our society which encourages violence and crime. It is a fact that all the time children are exposed to films and reports about crime and violence. Many people do not agree that this influences the young people, but I think that young people are very much influenced by the society they grow in. I feel that the fault may be as much with our whole society as with these young people. 6. From the passage we know that many British people are confused about (). A. the cause of juvenile crimes B. the rise of the crime rate C. the problem of crimes in their country D. the various kinds of juvenile delinquency 7. One reason why young people in large cities are more likely to commit crimes is that (). A. nobody knows anything about others B. they are free to move C. they live a better life D. they need more money 8. According to the passage, which groups of the following young people are LEAST likely to commit crimes？ A. Those living in big cities B. Those who are in need of help C. Those who are very poor D. Those living in the countryside 9. Unlike many others, the author holds that one important cause for juvenile delinquency is that(). A. young people nowadays do not like adult world B. young people in Britain today are freer than before C. too many young people have come to live in big cities D. young people are influenced by crime and violence in films and newspapers 10.According to the passage, which is to blame for juvenile crimes, apart from the young people themselves？ A. The adult world B. Their parents C. The development of the cities D. The society

TEXT A Let me speak first to parents. You are the ones who plant, or fail to plant, the seeds of character in your children. Try from the beginning to put into your children's minds the capacity to feel shame by letting them know that, just as there are actions for which they can win praise, so there are others ________ lying, cheating, stealing________ that are unacceptable and for which they will be punished. As parents, you are not alone in your efforts to form. character. Organizations such as the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts teach accountability and strengthen it with pressure of equals. Churches are also strong helpers. I remember clearly an event from my childhood. In our church's Sunday school playroom was a set of little lead cowboys and Indians. One day, I took one of them home, and that night my brother saw me playing with it. "I know where you got that," he said. "You stole it from the church. ,, Stole it! From the church! Those words hit me like a thunderbolt. The anger of God, my mother's anger, the scorn of the world rose up like a terrifying wave in my mind. I ran a mile and a half to return the figure and all the way back home, where my mother put me to bed with a couple of beats for "cattin around " (到处乱跑). I never told her why I had left the house; I was too ashamed. Shame led straight to accountability, and I never again took anything that wasn't mine. What about teachers？ To them I'd say: your classroom is a small society. Don't excuse bad behavior. Get students to impose standards upon one another, and work to persuade the school administration to become firmer about discipline. I've heard of high schools where the first time a student is caught with drugs, he's warned; the second time, he may be kept from school temporarily; the third, possibly driven away. To the principals of such schools I would say, "Why not suspend students the first time？" And I would quote a religious leader's words: "Punish severely the first offender, for in him lies the greatest hope of reform. " Finally, a wise teacher might tell a high-school class: "If you choose to play with drugs, the police may never catch you. But your body is responsible to the laws of chemistry and biology. " What about law enforcement？ If I could say just one thing to the designers of that system, it would be: restore fair, swift, sure punishment as one of the key supporters of accountability. There is nothing unreasonable about just punishment, but you'd never know it from watching our law carried out today. Criminals don't fear the law, because in most cases its punishment is so slow and weakened that any preventing effect is lost. Which of the following is NOT true according to the author？ [A] Parents are very important in helping form. the children's character. [B] One can have more than one way to shape character. [C] Punishment should be carried out quickly. [D] The author ran a mile and a half to avoid the shower of scolding.
