(E)

    Messages can be sent across the land by means of the electric telegraph; but you cannot put up a line of telegraph posts across the sea. Messages can be sent across the

ocean by radio or by cable(電纜). The cable lies on the sea bottom and it has to have very good insulation. If any part of it is weak, the water will get through and stop all signals .

The first cable under the sea was between England and France. It was laid（放置） in 1851. In 1851 engineers tried to lay a cable across the Atlantic Ocean, but they met a

lot of difficulties. Halfway across the Atlantic the cable broke, and the ship that was laying it had to return.                                                       

     Kelvin advised that another cable ought to be laid. It was made ready, and put on board a big ship. Kelvin and his friends traveled with it and after many days of hard work, they reached America without breaking the cable. Kelvin himself sent the first

message by cable from America to Britain. Unfortunately only 732 messages were sent through this cable before it broke.

The next cable was laid in 1866, and this time there were no problems. The ship

that laid it was the Great Eastern, one of the strongest ships that have ever been built.

It was driven by powerful engines and also by sails .                         

 1. The undersea cable must be made strong enough to prevent _____.

     A.. fishes from eating it     B. enemy stealing it

     C.water getting through it    D. others cutting it                                                       

 2. The first cable across the Atlantic _______.

    A. was the first undersea cable

    B. was only laid half- way

    C. broke after only 732 messages were sent

    D. never broke

  3. The undersea cable Kelvin and his Mends laid was between_____.

    A. England and France    B. America and England

    C. American and France   D. England and Britain

  4. The cable that Kelvin and his friends laid went through __

    A. the Pacific Ocean      B. the Indian Ocean

    C. the Atlantic Ocean     D. the Arctic Ocean

  5. This passage mainly tells us _______.

    A. how Kelvin laid the cable

    B. how the scientists discovered the cable

    C. the history of the cable in the world

    D. how to lay the cable in the sea

  根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳的選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say,“My spoken English is poor.”      I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.

First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.

    Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn't matter.  

The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.

Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking  opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor.   

A. The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.

B. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.

C. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.

D. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.

E. However, their spoken English does not have to remain“poor”!

F. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.

G. The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2014屆江蘇省高一第一學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)試題 題型：閱讀理解

Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.

Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.

E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.

The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun - see a great movie perhaps - and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may be tired of telling the story.

With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.

E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.

We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways.

1. The purpose of this passage is to ________.

A．explain how to use the Internet

B．describe the writer’s joy of keeping up with the latest technology

C．tell the merits(價(jià)值) and usefulness of the Internet

D．introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet

2.The use of E-mail has made it possible for the writer to ________.

A．have more free time with his child

B．spend less time working

C．work at home on weekends

D．work at a speed comfortable to him

3.According to the writer, E-mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because the

former helps one ________.

A．reach a group of people at one time conveniently

B．keep one’s communication as personal as possible

C．pass on much more information than the later

D．get in touch with one’s friends faster than the later

4.The best title for this passage is ________.

A．Computer: New Technological Advances

B．Internet: New Tool to Maintain Good Friendship

C．Computers Have Made Life Easier

D．Internet: a Convenient Tool for Communication
