Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
Indian’s snake charmers are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost. The charmers, who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes, used to be a traditional feature of Indian life, performing in towns and villages, until they were banned in 1972 to control the trade in snake skins.
The government is now considering a plan to train the saperas, as they are known, to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife. There is also a proposal to set up a “dial a snake charmer” service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders.
“For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can’t earn a living for fear of arrest,” said Behar Dutt, a conservationist behind the plans, “if a policeman doesn’t catch them, animal rights activists report them.”
Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely(暗中地) since the ban, despite the threat of up to three years in jail. But their trademark cloth-covered baskets, hung from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders, make them an easy target for police.
The fate of Shisha Nath, 56, from Badarpur, a village just outside of New Delhi, is typical of practitioners(從業(yè)者) of the dying art. “I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school,” he said. “Now it’s hard to earn even $1 a day. My children want to be snake charmers. It’s our identity. We love the work. But it’s become impossible.”
Next month Dutt’s project to train 30 snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune, western India, where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge.
More than the law, though, it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countrymen that anger many snake charmers.
“We’re disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house, they rush to us,” said Prakash Nath, who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi, the Congress party leader.
【小題1】 What do snake charmers usually do in India? (no more than 8 words) (2 marks)
【小題2】 How long will a saperas be in prison if he is caught during the ban? (no more than 3 words) (2 marks)
【小題3】For what purpose will snake charmers in India be retrained as wildlife teachers?(no more than 10 words) (3 marks)
【小題4】According to the passage, what will make snake charmers angry? (no more than 11 words) (3 marks)

Most people hate change, which is sad since we often go through intense changes in life. And for some of us, even the smallest changes can upset our day. So the question is: Why do most of us find making adjustments to our lives so hard?
Fear of change is nothing new. Over a century ago, the Parisians were unhappy over a particular addition to their city: the Eiffel Tower. In fact, the citizens were so angry about the plans for the tower that they protested its construction. As strange as it may seem, their anger was completely natural. They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so they became angry.
But we get upset over changes even when we do have a say in the matter and think about them carefully. Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make: which school to attend, which job to take, whom to marry. Voluntary changes also make most of us uneasy because we don’t know how those changes will affect our future.
People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear and anger associated with change is to be flexible(可彎曲的). When they are flexible, people can adapt to new situations more easily. Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change occur faster than ever before. Those who oppose change, especially with technology in the workplace, may find themselves out of a job.
When change comes, and you have no choice but to face it, embrace it. A positive attitude helps a lot. In fact, the change may turn out to be the best thing for you. That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one. You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to. Don’t merely focus on how you feel about change; instead decide to accept the change. The change is the reality, and it’s up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know – your next change may be your life’s Eiffel Tower!
1.Why did the building of the Eiffel Tower make the Parisians unhappy?
A.Because they didn’t like the design of the Eiffel Tower.
B.Because they couldn’t avoid accepting the Eiffel Tower.
C.Because it was no use building the Eiffel Tower.
D.Because the Eiffel Tower seemed strange.
2.According to the passage, it can be inferred that what won’t disturb us are _____________.
A.the changes that have agreement with one’s will
B.the small changes we meet in our daily life
C.the changes whose effect we can predict and control
D.the changes that we discuss or consider thoroughly
3.How should we overcome negative emotions that the changes bring?
A.We are not supposed to face the changes and let them alone.
B.We should actively accustom ourselves to the new circumstance.
C.We should not take the changes seriously and avoid them as much as possible.
D.We should know that the changes merely bring us bad influence.
4.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A.The change will probably make you fail like the Eiffel Tower.
B.The change is like the Eiffel Tower which is not good for our future life.
C.Your future life is never known just like the Eiffel Tower unknown to the Parisians.
D.Your future life is likely to be a great achievement due to the change.
5. What is the best title for the passage?
A.The Psychology of Change B.The ways to Overcome the Fear
C.Changes That Disturb Us D.The Bad Effect of Changes

科目:高中英語 來源:2011-2012學(xué)年天津市高三年級(jí)第一次月考英語題 題型:閱讀理解
You wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.
When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger (匕首) of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that all in all, brings you down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker,or a relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person, but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to (附著) you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.
1.The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______.
A.make a comparison |
B.offer an evidence |
C.introduce a topic |
D.describe a daily scene |
2.How can negative people have effect on us?
A.By influencing our emotion. |
B.By telling us the nature of life. |
C.By changing our ways of thinking. |
D.By comparing their attitudes to life with ours. |
3.Some negative people base their happiness on _______.
A.other people’s pity for them |
B.making other people unhappy |
C.building up a positive attitude |
D.other people’s respect for them |
4.According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us, we are advised to ______.
A.change negative people’s attitudes to life |
B.show our dissatisfaction to negative people |
C.make negative people feel ashamed of themselves |
D.communicate with negative people as little as possible |
5. What is the author’s attitude towards negative people?
A.Favorable. |

科目:高中英語 來源:2011年內(nèi)蒙古高二上學(xué)期期中考試(II)英語卷 題型:其他題
The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. _1._. There are over eighty of them scattered(分散,撒布) along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the “step” pyramid and “ Bent ”pyramid.
Some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings.__ 2.__. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever. __3._. However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves. _4._. Nevertheless(然而), by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly clear picture of them.
One thing is certain: there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build. __5.__. You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere. Certain rules had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome.
A.The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve(保護(hù)) the pyramids, and their very shape have made them less likely to fall into ruin.
B.It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the
pyramids because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved.
C.The first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place.
D.Consequently, we are only able to guess at the methods used.
E.Many people were killed while building the pyramids.
F.They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will
continue to stand for thousands of years yet.
G.It takes workers twenty years to build the Pyramids.
