It’s reported that some Chinese tourists behave badly travel at home and abroad. They speak loudly in public places, carve characters at tourist attractions, throw a rubbish everywhere, even cross the road when the traffic lights are still red. Such bad behavior had caused damage to what people think of themselves and our country. Actions should be taken to stop this. First, tourists should be educating to obey social and public order, and respect locally religions and customs. Besides, laws should be made to punish those which don’t behave politely in public. I hope soon tourists will change their behavior and win respect of themselves and our country.[来源:Z

Consider yourself warned. Sunday is April Fools' Day, a day when you are encouraged to play tricks on loved ones and even the people you meet at the bus stop. It's a strange tradition, but how did it get started?

Nobody is completely sure about the origin of this, the silliest of holidays. However, the urban legend experts at Snopes. com say that most experts owe it to Pope Gregory XⅢ, who, in the 1500s, gave the world the Gregorian calendar.

In 1562, the Gregorian calendar moved the first day of the year from April l to January l. Word did eventually get around, but some people were a bit slow to hear the news. These folks continued celebrating the new year on April l , unaware that they were now three months behind the times. These "April fools" were tricked by those who knew it. The tradition eventually made its way to the US.

And it's still going strong. Over the past week, Web searches on " April Fools' Day jokes" and " April Fools' Day tricks" have more than doubled, and related lookups for "easy April Fools' Day tricks" and "April Fools' Day jokes for work" have also increased greatly. Bottom line: Keep your guard up, especially if somebody offers you a word search puzzle. Lookups for "impossible April Fools' Day word searches" are up by 200%.

But really, there is no way to be certain you'll escape trickery because even companies are out to trick you on April l. In 1957, the BBC reported Swiss farmers were harvesting spaghetti(意大利面) from trees. And in 1996, Taco Bell took out ads in major newspapers announcing that the company had purchased the Liberty Bell and renamed it the Taco Liberty Bell.

1.What is the author's purpose of writing the text?

A. To teach us how to avoid being tricked.

B. To point out the best way to trick others.

C. To introduce the history of April Fools' Day.

D. To stress the importance of April Fools' Day.

2.What can we know from Paragraph 3?

A. April lst was once the first day of the year.

B. April Fools' Day was set by Pope Gregory XⅢ.

C. April Fools' Day has been celebrated for thousands of years.

D. Started in the US, April Fools' Day is popular around the world.

3.From the 4th paragraph, we can learn that .

A. people enjoy being April Fools

B. April Fools' Day is still very popular

C. those tricks used on April 1 are much the same

D. people like to celebrate April Fools' Day online

4.The examples listed in the last paragraph are used to show .

Digital technology — email and smart phones especially—have vastly improved workers' ability to be productive outside of a traditional office. Even so, most white-collar work still happens in an office. One reason is that, according to findings of a new survey (调查) of office workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT company Citrix, most bosses are doubtful about remote working. Half of the workers say their boss doesn't accept it, and only 35 percent say it's tolerated.

Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced (加深) by the same survey, which shows that 43 percent of workers say they've watched TV or a movie while “working” remotely, while 35 percent have done housework,and 28 percent have cooked dinner.

It is true, however, that working at home makes people much more efficient (高效的), because it allows workers to take care of annoying housework while still getting their jobs done. It’s much faster, for example, to shop for groceries at a quarter to three than to stand in line during the after-work rush.

The fact that such practices remain officially unaccepted reflects how far we haven't come as a society from the days when we expected every full-time worker to be supported by a full-time homemaker.

More broadly the Wakefield survey suggests that employers may be missing a low-cost way to give workers something of value. Sixty-four percent of those survey participants who haven't worked remotely would rather give up some bonus in order to get even one day a week working from home. Under such circumstances, smart firms need to find ways to let their employees have enough ability to change or be changed easily to suit a different situation to manage their time efficiently.

1.Why do some employers hesitate to allow remote working?

A. They are used to face-to-face communication.

B. They want to stick to their routine practice.

C. They have little trust in modem technology.

D. They fear losing control of their workers.

2.What seems to be most workers' attitude toward remote working?

A. Favorable.B. Doubtful.C. Reserved.D. Disapproving.

3.What does the author suggest smart firms do?

A. Shorten their office hours.

B. Give employees a pay raise.

C. Adopt flexible work patterns.

D. Reduce their staff’s workload.

Some people describe American society as a salad bowl while others see it as a melting pot.

科目:高中英语 来源:2016-2017学年山西阳高县一中高二上期第三次模块考试英语卷(解析版) 题型:阅读理解

No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”,until it has been read aloud by someone,a teacher or a student.Better still,perhaps,is the practice of reading it twice,once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end,so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.

All discussions of poetry are,in fact,preparations for reading it aloud,and the reading of the poem is,finally,the most telling “interpretation” of it,suggesting tone,rhythm,and meaning all at once.Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice,on records or on film,is obviously a special reward.But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and the teacher reading it or,best of all,reciting it.

I have come to think,in fact,that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it,if there isn’t time for both.I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry.Poetry is “a criticism of life” and “a heightening(提升)of life”.It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”,and it “can save your life”.It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.

I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else.But those,who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature,about its sound as well as its sense,and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.

1.According to the passage,to have a better understanding of a poem,the best way is

A.to discuss it with others

B.to analyze it by oneself

C.to hear it read out

D.to practice reading it aloud

2.What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply(暗示)?

A.The teaching of poetry should have been much more stressed.

B.The teaching of poetry is more important than the teaching of any other subject.

C.One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.

D.Poetry is the foundation of all languages and literature courses.

3.The underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by“ ”.

A.build a booth

B.provide equipment

C.leave a certain amount of time

D.set aside enough space

4.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry?

A.Extending your life. B.Saving your life.

C.Criticizing life. D.Heightening life.
