题目列表(包括答案和解析)


Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant. A half century ago in the United states, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the dividing lines are still there, but they seem not clear.
The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal(法律的)limits, or whether it should become more changeable, is often debated(争论). How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the dividing lines of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?
These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we seldom recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to go to  school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years – but unless we meet the truant officer(学监), we may well think that we should go to school because of social custom and parents’ requirement rather than to the law. As adults we know “extra pay for overtime working” very well, but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes(构成)“overtime” is a matter of legal thing. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight – saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action”? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law – as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.
【小题1】What does the underlined word “irrelevant” probably mean?
A.Impossible.B.Unacceptable. C.Unimportant.D.Disagreeable.
【小题2】The writer raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people _____.
A.are unknowing of the law of time
B.fail to make full use of their time
C.welcome changeable working hours
D.enjoy working overtime for more pay
【小题3】We can learn from the passage that most children go to school because they_____.
A.have to follow the law
B.need to find social customs
C.need to learn more knowledge
D.have to follow their parents’ requirement
【小题4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Our life is governed by the law of time.
B.How to use time is not worth debating.
C.New ways of using time change our society.
D.Our time table is decided by social customs.

Dear Mary,
How are you these days? I am really unhappy now, and I am writing to tell you about my problem.
I began to learn the piano when I was 6. My parents think playing the piano is a very useful hobby so they ask me to practise every day. They believe I am the best. But to tell the truth, I feel very tired and I don’t like playing the piano at all. I have never told them my real thoughts because I am afraid that may break their hearts. Last week, instead of going to my usual music lesson, I went to my friend’s home and watched TV for two hours. Later I lied to them when went back home, I don’t want to go to the class again and my friend says she will not tell my parents about it.
But now I begin to worry. Do you think I should tell them the truth? Or should I keep playing the piano to make them happy?
Yours

First of all, we’re asked to “clear our plates” when having our meals and say   43  to wasting. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food. Now we need to    44  the food we order. We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we should turn off the lights when we    45  the classroom. And our school has opened up some fields for us to learn how to grow vegetables. Each class is given a small garden and our class has decided to grow some tomatoes and beans( 豆类) in our    46  time. I think that’ll be very interesting. Maybe I’ll be able to    47  you some beans we’ve grown by ourselves next time! What’s more, we have only two classes in the afternoon    48  we have more time for after-school activities. I’m one of the traffic safety volunteers in our school. After school, we take turns to  go to the streets near our school and ask people to    49  the traffic rules.

I think we are having a different school life now!

Please write back soon and tell   50  more about your school.
