High school was hard, because everyone wanted to have nice clothes, hang out, drive cars, and all these cost money. Peters father was the sort of guy that believed you had to earn whatever you got, so he wasnt just about to hand over lots of money for Peter to use to have fun. So, he had to get a job.During his freshman year summer vacation, his classmate got him a job working on a hay (干草) farm. He threw hay up into wagons as the tractor drove around fields, and then they stacked (剁起) it in the hot barn. It was a hot, lowpaying job. He once worked a few nights a week at a grocery store. He put things on the shelf. It was a lot of lifting and carrying, and his arms were strong from this and the previous job. It was dull and didnt pay much.He took some time off when soccer got serious, but the following summer he tried working at a lumber yard. It was hot outside, but he got a lot of exercise lifting and carrying things like boards and drywall. He also learned a lot about building supplies. It still didnt pay well.From there, he spent a year doing some tutoring for a friend of the family, but that was piecemeal. His first real job came the last year at school, when he fixed registers and worked on computers at a big box store. It was his favorite job yet, but it still didnt pay well.What Peter realized with all of these jobs was that he needed a better paying job! The only way to get that was to get trained or educated. He could go to school and get a 2year degree in an office or technical position. His other choices were going to a 4year college or joining the army. He wasnt sure what he was going to do yet, but he knew he had to do something. Jobs were a lot of work, money was hard to earn, but he liked staying busy and being able to buy things. Peter wanted the most out of life, and that meant education.31How many jobs had Peter taken?AThree. BFour.CFive. DSix.32All the jobs Peter had taken had one thing in common：_.AThey didnt pay wellBThey were dull and tiresomeCThey needed hard labourDThey were done during his vacation33_was the most important for Peter if he wanted a good job.AConfidence BEducationCOpportunity DWisdom34We can learn from the text that_.APeter knew what to do with his futureBPeters father didnt care about himCit was very hard for Peter to make his choicesDPeter was determined to do whatever he likedB(2014·江苏五市联考)Anyone watching the autumn sky knows that migrating birds fly in a V formation, but scientists have long debated why. A new study finds that these bigwinged birds carefully position their wingtips and flap (拍动) at the same rate, probably to catch the upward movement of air and save energy during flight.There are two reasons birds might fly in a V formation: It may make flight easier, or theyre simply following the leader. Squadrons (中队) of planes can save fuel by flying in a V formation, and many scientists suspect that migrating birds do the same. Models that treated flapping birds like fixedwing airplanes show that they probably save energy by drafting off each other, but currents created by airplanes are far more stable than those coming off of birds.Just as aerodynamic (气动力) calculations would predict, the birds positioned themselves to fly just behind and to the side of the bird in front, timing their wing flaps to catch the uplifting eddies (涡流). When a bird flew directly behind another, the timing of the flapping reversed (相反) so that it could minimize the effects of the downdraft coming off the back of the birds body.“We didnt think this was possible，” Usherwood says, considering that the difficult achievement requires careful flight and incredible awareness of ones neighbors. “Perhaps these big V formation birds can be thought of quite like an airplane with wings that go up and down.”The findings likely apply to other longwinged birds, such as pelicans and geese, Usherwood says. Smaller birds create more complex wakes (尾波) that would make drafting too difficult.The researchers did not attempt to calculate the birds energy savings because the necessary physiological measurements would be too invasive for an endangered species. Previous studies show that birds can use 20% to 30% less energy while flying in a V.Scientists do not know how the birds find that aerodynamic sweet spot, but they suspect that the animals line themselves up either by sight or by sensing air currents through their feathers. In future studies, the researchers will switch to more common birds, such as pigeons or geese. They plan to investigate how the animals decide who sets the course and the pace, and whether a mistake made by the leader can ripple through the rest of the flock to cause traffic jams.35The author takes squadrons of planes for example to show _.Abirds may save energy by flying in a V formationBbirds fly in a V formation for many more reasonsCplanes flying in a V formation follow the leaderDplanes flying in a V formation are more economical36Why did Usherwood think it impossible for a bird to fly directly behind another?ABecause birds differ from airplanes in wings.BBecause birds know nothing about aerodynamics.CBecause birds could hardly create stable currents as planes.DBecause birds have to overcome great difficulties when flying.37What is the scientists attitude toward the findings mentioned in the passage?ACautious. BContradictory.CConfident. DCritical.38What would the researchers do in their future studies about the birds?ACalculate the birds energy savings.BApply the findings to smallest birds.CFind how the birds line themselves up.DDo research on more common birds.C(2014·鄂西质量检测)With 10,600 bicycles in circulation, Paris city officials are hoping the program will provide people with more environmentally friendly transportation.It seems both Parisians and tourists are taking advantage of the program. Since its launch a little over two weeks ago, Vélib has already seen almost half a million rentals. And, with the addition of 10,000 more bikes and 700 more stations in the next 12 months, city officials expect at least 200,000 regular users by year end.Parisian Olivier Bioret has already gone for a spin on one of Vélibs vehicles and plans to make use of them more often. “Its a real pleasure when, like me, you dont have space enough in your flat to have your own bike to be able to discover, to cross Paris and not have to take the subway，” he said.As a socialist and longtime green activist, Mayor Bertrand Delanoe regards Vélib as just a part of his plan to reduce car traffic and, thus, lower pollution by 2020.Apart from its environmental benefits, Vélib is also being praised as a way of collecting money for the city, for all the money from rentals goes to the city government.Paris is not alone in its attempt to profit from the power of the bicycles.Across the globe, cities such as Barcelona, which stated its bikeshare program in March with 1,500 vehicles and 100 stations, and New York, which launched a fiveday trial program last month, are using bicycles as a way to cut back on both traffic and pollution.However, it remains to be seen whether peoples acceptance of these programs is simply a passing fashion or whether this movement has the power to take root and transform the face of public transportation around the world.39The real purpose of Vélib is_.Ato help people save money and spaceBto make some money for the city governmentCto provide convenience to both Parisians and touristsDto reduce traffic and pollution in the city40Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AThere will be 700 stations in one years time.BThere will be over 20,000 bikes in use in a year.CIn the first two weeks there were nearly a million rentals.DThere will be 200,000 regular rentals each day by year end.41We can know from the passage that_.Aother cities also have such programsBParisians can use the bicycles for freeCParis sets an example to many other citiesDParis is the first city to start such a program42As to the future of the program, the author is_.Acritical BoptimisticCuncertain DnegativeD(2014·湖北八校第二次联考)A nickname is a shortened form of a persons name. A nickname can also be a descriptive name for a person, place or thing. Many American cities have nicknames. These can help establish an identity, spread pride among citizens and build unity. Nicknames can also be funny.Los Angeles is the second largest city in population, after New York City. Los Angeles has several nicknames. One is simply the citys initials, L. A. It is also called the City of Angels because Los Angeles means “the angels” in Spanish.Los Angeles often has warm, sunny weather. So another nickname is City of Flowers and Sunshine. New York is called The Big Apple. So Los Angeles is sometimes called The Big Orange because of the fruit that grows in that citys warm climate.The American motion picture and television industries are based in Los Angeles. So it is not surprising that it is called The Entertainment Capital of the World. Many films are made in the area of Los Angeles called Hollywood. Millions of people visit the area. No trip to Los Angeles is complete without seeing the word “Hollywood” spelled out in huge letters on a hillside. Many movie stars live in Los Angeles. The city is sometimes called Tinseltown. This nickname comes from the shiny, bright and often unreal nature of Hollywood and the movie industry.The city of Los Angeles is part of Los Angeles Coun
