The bomb was hidden in a rubbish bin in the city’s commercial hub(商业中心)，where lots of shops and restaurants are concentrated. The ear-splitting blast was heard around 12?50 p.m.，said a local newspaper, citing witnesses. The power of the blast shattered(使粉碎)nearby shop windows and ripped the stainless(不生锈 的)steel rubbish can to pieces. One passer-by，identified(确认)only as Zhang，said she was shocked by the noise and saw a lot of pedestrians lying on the ground when she got to the scene. Thirteen of the injured were taken to a local hospital after the explosion. A doctor there said five were in serious condition but already out of danger after emergency treatment. The others were just slightly hurt.

A. a, b, c, d B. c, a, d, b C. a, d, c, b D. c, d, a, b C A few days ago I asked my sons’ governess(女家庭教师)Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia, ”I said, “Let’s settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you’re too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month...” “Forty.” “No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, you’ve been here two months, so...” “Two months and five days.” “Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays... you know you didn’t work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays... ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but - not a word. “Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off ... that leaves. hmm.... forty one dollars. Correct,” Julia’s left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but - still not a word. “Around New Year’s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but- forget it. When didn’t I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect (疏忽), Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick’s shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.” “You didn’t. ”sobbed Julia. “But I made a note of it.” “Well... if you say so.” “Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.” Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl! “Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.” “Really? You see now, and I didn’t know that! Take three from fourteen.. leaves eleven. Here’s your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !” I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them. “Merci (法语: 谢谢),”she whispered. I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this - ‘merci’?” I asked. “For the money. ” “But you know I’ve cheated you - robbed you ! I have actually stolen from you ! Why this ‘merci’,” “In my other places they didn’t give me anything at all.” “They didn’t give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you... I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you... Is it really possible to be so spineless (懦弱)?Why didn’t you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws(爪)—to be such a fool?” Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression,“It is possible.” I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little“merci”several times and went out. I looked after her and thought,“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world !” 8(While talking to Julia, the wrier expected from her ________. A. a protest B. gratitude C. obedience D. an explanation 9(What shocked the writer was Julia’s ________. A. nervousness in front of her boss B. acceptance of injustice C. shyness when talking about money D. reluctance to express herself 10(The writer said, “Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws?” He was actually telling the governess ________. A. to be more aggressive B. to be more careful in her work C. to protect her right D. to live independently 11(At the end of the story, the writer said,“ How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!” to show ________. A. his understanding of Julia’s anxiety B. his worry about Julia’s future C. his concern on the living condition of working - class people D. his sympathy for the mental state of those exploited 12(From the story, we can tell that Julia’s employer was ________. A. greedy but honest B. ill - tempered but warm - hearted C. strict but forgiving D. none of the above D Want a glance of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient - no matter where he or she may be. Online doctors offering advice based on norman symptoms(症状)are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis(远程诊断)will be based on real physiological data(生理数据)from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone ,it is perfectly practical to send a patient’s important signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipement, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past. Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural (countryside) care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need - especially after earthquakes. On the whole, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts’ opinions. But there is one problem. Bandwidth(宽带) is the limiting factor for sending complex (复 杂 )medical pictures around the world,—CU photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users. Communication satellites say be able to deal with the short - term needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars. But medicine is looking towards both the second - generation Internet and third generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service. Doctors have met to discuss computer - based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, experts’opinions and diagnosis are common. 13(The writer chiefly talks about ________ . A. the use of telemedicine B. the on -lined doctors C. medical care and treatment D. communication improvement 14(Which of the following statements is true according to the text? A. Patients don’t need doctors in hospitals any more. B. It is impossible to send a patient’s signs over the telephone. C. Many teams use telemedicine dealing with disasters now. D. Broadband communications will become cheaper in the future. 15(The“problem”in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that ________ . A. bandwidth isn’t big enough to send complex medical pictures B. the second - generation of Internet has not become popular yet C. communication satellites can only deal with short - term needs D. there is not enough equipment for spreading the medical care E So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning , they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that“ reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”. Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed. Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private ,for learning is an occupation of the mind ,and that process is not open to public scrutiny. If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable ,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest(探索)for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. ” When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher fulfil them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading. 16(The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that ________. A. it is one of the most difficult school courses B. students spend endless hours in reading C. reading tasks are assigned with little guidance D. too much time is spent in teaching about reading 17(The teaching of reading will be successful if ________. A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the students B. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading C. teachers can devise the most effcient system for reading D. teachers can make their teaching activities observable 18(The underlined word“ scrutiny” most probably means“________”. A. inquiry B. observation C. control D. suspicion 19(According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ________. A. children become highly motivated B. teacher and learner roles are interchangeable C. teaching helps children in the search for knowledge D. reading enriches children’s experience 20(The main idea of the passage is that ________. A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read B. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible C. reading ability is something acquired rather than taught D. reading is more complicated that generally believed 阅读理解训练题(六十一) 答案 八年级地理上册填图题岩土工程勘察试题省略号的作用及举例应急救援安全知识车间5s试题及答案 1(B 提示:21(受伤人)-13(送医院的伤者),8(没有送医院的伤者)。 2(C 提示:由第三段句子“The ear-splitting blast was beard around 12:50 p. m. said a local newspaper，citing winesses.”可知答案。 3(B 提示:对还没有侦察的案件，公安机关通常不会在公众面前进行推测。 4(D 提示:文章开头的句子已点题了。 5(C 提示:本文主要是告诉人们如何使用电话卡及解除某些有关电话卡的疑虑。最后一句:Get a phonecard yourself and try it out，or get a bigger wallet.点出本文分明是一则广告。 6(C 提示:第一、第二部分是介绍如何使用电话卡和去哪儿买电话卡，只有第三部分从反 面反映电话卡的好处。 7(B 提示:可根据常识及文中提供信息排出使用电话卡的顺序。 8(A 提示:protest m抗议，异议，gratitude m感激，obedience顺从，explanation n.解释。 9(B 提示:接受不公平的待遇。 10(C 提示:保护她的权力。 11(D 提示:sympathy n.同情，exploit v.开发。 12(D 提示:greedy，ill-tempered，strict文中均未 表 关于同志近三年现实表现材料材料类招标技术评分表图表与交易pdf视力表打印pdf用图表说话 pdf 现出。 13(A 提示:从全文意思可知。 14(D 提示:从第五段“With the falling price of broadband communications”可知。 15(D 提示:从第四段第二句“Bandwidth is the limiting factor for sending complex medical pictures„”可知。 16(D 提示:本文是一篇议论文，在对传统的阅读教学方式进行批判的同时，论述了作者自 己阅读的教学观:阅读的教与学是两个完全不同的过程。依据文章第1段第3行“It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading..”(教学生如何阅读当然不是带着学生花费大量的时间去一点一点地读)。可以看出，作者认为现在教阅读的时间太多了，这当然是因为教而不教法。所以选项D正确。 17(B 提示:依据文章第2段第2行开始的句子:“The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read”(教学的任务是为学生能够找出自己最有效的自学阅读的方法创造条件和氛围)，B项符合上述意思，为正确答案。 18(B 提示:该题为猜测词义。inquiry“询问”。observation“观察”。control“控制”。suspicion“怀疑”。该词出现在第3段最后一句“process is not open to public scrutiny”，考生可从该句的上文作出推测。最明显的提示出现在第2段最后一句“Teaching is also a public activity;it can be seen and observed”所以，scrutiny最可能的词义应该是observation，故B项正确。 19(A 提示:依据文章第4段、第5段所提供的信息，特别是第5段第3行“Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading”(当教师们创造了一种环境，使孩子们有机会自 己通过阅读解决所遇到的问题时，学习阅读就变得容易多了)，可以看出A项与之最为相近。 20(C 提示:依据文章第1段第4行“reading cannot be taught directly and„”说明阅读能力 并不是通过教师教就能掌握的。教师应做的是给学生创造一个好的环境和条件，激发学生阅 读的渴望，培养出良好的阅读习惯、方法，只有这样，才能掌握阅读技能，提高阅读水平。 所以选项C正确。其他选项与文章讨论的范围不符。
