Who are these people rushing by you in the street? More than 215 million people now call America “home’’, but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. If you look at the names on shop windows, you will see that Americans come from many different lands. The idea that these people, who once were strangers to the United States, have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become “American’’is really not true. In fact, what exists in America is more often a kind of “side-by-side”, living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many of their customs and habits. They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives—such as in schools, business, and sports-but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially and at home. This living “side-by-side” has both advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it may cause disagreements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from one another. However, there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from other lands. There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress, food, and social customs in America. Everyone can find some part of his or her familiar world in the United States, in Churches, music, food, national groups, or newspapers.
1.More than 215 million people call America “home” because .
A. they buy their houses there B. they settle there now
C. they get married there D. they were born there
2.“Side-by-side” living style means .
A. making friends with native people
B. the groups of people who live nearby
C. keeping their own customs while sharing American ones in certain areas
D. that they get closer to American society
3.According to the passage, people in the USA .
A. share American customs and culture
B. 1ive in a kind of “side-by-side'' society

4.Which of the following statements is true?

Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.
Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(胚芽). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.
1.The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.
A．plants are important for life B．plants cannot grow without air
C．there are many plants in the world D．we can not live without water
2.Plants can make food from______.
A．flower, water and air B．water, sunlight and air
C．a(chǎn)ir, water and soil D．a(chǎn)ir, sun and light
3.What can we infer(推斷) from the passage ?
A．Of all living things animals are most important B．Spores are seeds
C．All fruits of flowering plants have seeds D．Without plants, man will die out
4.This passage may be taken from______.
A．a(chǎn) medicine book B．a(chǎn) novel
C．a(chǎn) science magazine D．a(chǎn)n experiment report
5.The underlined word “protected” in the third paragraph can be replaced by ______.
A．damaged B．polluted C．prevented D．guarded

科目：高中英語 來源：2014屆浙江省高一下學期期末考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解
When I was seven, my father gave me a Timex, my first watch. I loved it, wore it for years, and haven’t had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. Why? Because I don’t need one. I have a mobile phone and I’m always near someone with an iPod or something like that. All these devices (裝置) tell the time — which is why, if you look around, you’ll see lots of empty wrists (手腕); sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007.
But while these wise people have realized that they don’t need them, others — including some distinguished ones of our time — are spending total fortunes on them. Brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe and Breitling command shocking prices, up to £ 250.000 for a piece.
This is ridiculous. Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars. Expensive clothes hang better than cheap clothes. But these days, all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. Yes, you may say expensive watches will come with some extra functions — but who needs them? How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea to test its function of waterproof, or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole by using its compass? So why pay that much of five years’ school fees for watches that allow you to do these things?
If justice were done, the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note. Instead, the Swiss re-invented the watch, with the aid of millions of pounds’ worth of advertising, as a message about the man —— usually a famous star, wearing it. Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains; a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family; a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planes across the world.
Watches are classified as “investment items” (投資項目) now. A 1994 Philippe recently sold for nearly £ 350, 000, while 1960s Rolexes have gone from 15, 000 to 30, 000 plus in a year. But, to some wealthy people, a watch is more than an investment. It’s a valuable toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. Prices may keep going up — they’ve been rising for fifteen years. But when fashion moves on, the owner of that £ 350, 000 treasured object will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Times.
1.The sales of watches to young people have fallen because ______.
|
A．they have other devices to tell the time |
|
B．they think watches are too expensive |
|
C．they have little sense of time now |
|
D．they prefer to wear an iPod on their wrists |
2.It seems ridiculous to the writer that ______.
|
A．some people often dive 300 metres deep into the sea |
|
B．expensive clothes sell much better than cheap ones |
|
C．cheap cars usually don’t run as fast as expensive ones |
|
D．expensive watches with unnecessary functions still sell |
3.What can be learnt about Swiss watch industry from the passage?
|
A．It targets rich people as its potential customers. |
|
B．It seems hard for the industry to beat its competitors. |
|
C．It wastes a huge amount of money in advertising. |
|
D．It is easy for the industry to re-invent cheap watches. |
4.Which would be the best title for the passage?
|
A．Timex Being better than Rolex |
|
B．My Expensive Childhood Timex |
|
C．Super-level Watches? Not for Me! |
|
D．Watches — a Valuable Collection |
