For computer users, there is no bigger excitement than tossing out your old PC and upgrading to a newer, faster and cleaner machine. With hardware designers like Intel, pushing newer, faster products every year, and new software requiring even more powerful machines, companies and consumers have little choice but to go along.
But this rapid turnover is having a serious effect on the planet. Producing a personal computer consumes large quantities of natural resources. A recent study by the United Nations estimates the energy required to produce a single new computer is equivalent to nearly two barrels of oil. And that doesn't include the 22 kg of chemicals or the 1,500 kg of water used in the manufacturing process.
In fact, pound for pound（均等地）, the process for making a car is about 500% more efficient than that for making a computer. That doesn't matter so much 20 years ago when personal computers were few and far between, but times have changed. These days, computers are found nearly everywhere and sales continue to grow. The number of PCs in use topped one billion in 2002.
Waste in production is only half the problem. Old computers, especially the monitors, are full of dangerous substances, which need to be carefully recycled. The problem is sure to expand over the coming years as users replace their boxy CRT monitors with LCD flat displays.
Europe now requires that 70% of parts from old computers be recycled, but the study’s authors say that’s also part of the problem. The solution, they insist, is for governments and companies to encourage people to use their computers longer, and upgrade rather than replace. But considering that much of the world’s recent economic growth has come from spending on computers and information technology, that advice may sound like wishful thinking. 
【小題1】What do computer users have to do every few years according to the passage?
A. Push newer, faster products.
B. Produce more powerful machines.
C. Consume large quantities of natural resources.
D. Upgrade to a newer, faster computer.
【小題2】What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．The pound.B．The process.
C．The car.D．The computer.
【小題3】We can infer from the last paragraph that ____.
A．governments and companies will surely encourage people to use their computers longer
B．governments and companies will probably encourage people to replace their personal computers
C．the world's economic has been growing without people's spending on computers and information technology
D．a(chǎn)ll parts from old computers are now recycled in Europe
【小題4】The purpose of writing this passage is ____
A．to encourage companies to push newer, faster personal computers
B．to encourage people to design more new software
C．to encourage people to save their personal computers
D．to encourage people to spend more money on computers and information technology

D
We all accept that sports should stress skill over luck，and fairness over privilege(特權(quán))．
They should be accessible to many and fun to watch．In the end，a sport,s champion should re-
present shared values and served as a role model．
But with today,s advances in technology，the power of sports equipment makers offers great
opportunity for the athletes who have access to the latest technology.
In 2008,108 world records were broken in the sport of swimming．The average number of
world records set in swimming in all past Olympic years is about 22．The average number of
world records set in a non-Olympic year is about 5．Now there are no“old”world records．
Suit technology has been the most widely recognized difference．The sharkskin suit and the
“paper”suits were all made public by suit manufactures before the Olympic．
As records continue to be broken，the Internet message boards for the swimming community
have taken a darker view of suit technology．“Time is meaningless”is one quote．I tend to agree．Some of the times I see being posted today are simply legends(傳奇)．
Am I against suit technology?Not really．But 2008 marked an unbelievable change in the
sport of swimming．People are saying，“Bigger，faster，stronger at any cost!”，wanting no limits on technology，either suits or drugs．I am not one of those people．
I am a guy that recognized the sport of swimming being as simple as man vs．water．It used
to be the swimmer in the suit，not the suit on the swimmer．How times have changed．
53．According to the first paragraph，it is a common belief that________.
A．only a few people have chances to take part in sports

B．It,s technology rather than skill that counts in some records．
C．Many athletes break records by luck and taking drugs．
D．Some rules aren,t obeyed when Olympic records are broken．

科目：高中英語 來源：2010年南安一中高一下學(xué)期期末考試英語卷 題型：閱讀理解

If women are mercilessly exploited(剝削) year after year,they have only themselves to blame.Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion,they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores.Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion.When you come to think of it,only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe(衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.
Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste.Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn.Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way,waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have.Skirts are lengthened or shortened;neck-lines are lowered or raised,and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society.Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth,comfort and durability(耐用).They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort,as long as they look right.There can hardly be a man who hasn’t at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day,or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.
When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion,the conclusions to be drawn are obvious.Do the constantly changing fashions of women’s clothes,one wonders,reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability?Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers.Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability?That is for you to decide.
【小題1】Designers and big stores always make money        .

A．by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry
B．because they are capable of predicting new fashions
C．by constantly changing the fashions in women’s clothing
D．because they attach great importance to quality in women’s clothing
【小題2】To the writer,the fact that women change their old-fashioned dresses is seen as        .
A．a(chǎn) waste of money
B．a(chǎn) waste of time
C．a(chǎn)n expression of taste
D．a(chǎn)n expression of creativity
【小題3】The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the     of clothing.
A．costB．a(chǎn)ppearance
C．comfortD．suitability
【小題4】According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.
B．The constant changes in women’s clothing reflect their strength of character.
C．The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.
D．Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.

科目：高中英語 來源：20102011學(xué)年度山東省蒼山縣高一下學(xué)期模塊學(xué)業(yè)水平測試英語試題 題型：閱讀理解

In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic (學(xué)業(yè)的) achievements and felt confident that their degree would help them to find a good job.

However, in the past five years the job market has changed greatly. This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of San Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but no job prospects. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.

Five years ago, the future looked bright for the class of 2006. There were many high-tech job chances. Graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as insurance (保險(xiǎn)) and paid vacations. However, "Times have changed and it's a new market," according to an officer of the San Jose State Career Center.

The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they’ve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot, like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing, where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information system management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines (下降) in starting salaries.

Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy.

In conclusion, these days a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth for some students. For now, they can only hope the value of their degree will increase over time.

C．change his major

D．become a religious leader

4.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means ____________.

A．the best way to get rich is not to get a college degree

B．most students with degrees will not be able to find jobs

C．having a college degree does not mean that one has money for travelling

D．a(chǎn) college degree does not mean that one will find a well-paid job

5. The main idea of the passage is that _________.

A．a(chǎn) lot of graduates are losing their jobs

B．Ryan Stewart has been able to find a job

C．salaries in some fields have increased in the past year
