二、短文选词填空

  • 21. 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空,使短文完整正确。(每个单词限用一次。每空限填一个单词。)

    stop    potato    fill    they    get    fall    late    boy    many    quick

    Sometimes people's words are not easily understood.

    A man learned this lesson. He had been working late collecting  and piling(堆)them high on his wagon(马车).

    Towards the end of the day, his wagon was  with potatoes. He decided to head home, for it was  late. He wished to know how long it would take to get back to his village so that he could arrive before darkness  .

    He noticed a small boy along the roadside and  to ask for directions.

    "Young boy," he said, "it's  and I must get home soon. How long will it take to get to my village from here?"

    The boy answered, "If you go slowly, it will take only a short while for you to get home. But if you go  , it will take a long time and you will not get there until late in the night.”

    The man thought about the  answer, but he could not understand it. He gave the boy an angry look and hit his horse to make it hurry. The horse began to run quickly. But soon, potatoes began to fall from the wagon. Each time, the man got off to collect the fallen potatoes and put  back into his wagon.

    The faster he went, the  potatoes fell from his wagon, and the more time he had to spend stopping to pick them up. But, if he had travelled slowly, none of the potatoes would have fallen, and the man would have arrived home much earlier.

    And so, as the young boy warned, go slowly and it will take only a short while.

七、短文首字母填空

  • 30.  短文首字母填空

    Read the comments about changes in the future. How much do you agree with them?

                                                                                                                 

    The days, some people work at home one or two days a week instead of going to an office every day. I think in the future a lot more people will work from home all the time. And the number of offices will decrease. It's sad, because people will lose most of their sskills like the ability to connect to others.

    There won't be any paper books in the future. They might disappear c. If you want to read books, you will have to download them to a portable e-reader. It will hold hundreds of your favourtie books. Some e-readers might also be waterproof. So you can use them when you are having a bath or a s!

    I think the number of people on the planet will continue to i. There'll be less space, so we'll need to change the way we live. Maybe we'll live underground, or maybe lots of people will live together in a single house. It's horrible! Life will definitely get wthan it is now!

    Our house might be sin the future. If there's an emergency, it will automatically send a message to the police or call for an ambulance. Our house might also control the heating and the air-conditioning, so we'll never feel too hot or too cold.

    Driverless cars are a new thing at the moment, but I think in the future it will be common to have one. I think it'll be a good and safe thing, because we won't have so many road a. Maybe we will stop using petrol, too. That would be good.

八、阅读回答问题

  • 31.  Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)

    In general, laws for children are a good thing. One hundred years ago in industrial countries, children worked 18 hours a day in a factory at age seven. The factory owner could beat a child who fell asleep or was not fast enough. Both parents and teachers could do the same. 

    Today, there are many laws about children all over the world. Some people think children must obey rules or they should be punished others do not agree. The Inuits or Eskimos in Alaska almost never punish their children. The parents don't hit them. If the children go too far, the parents punish them by making fun of them.

    Children in other parts of the world are not as lucky as Eskimo children. American parents can spank(打……臀部) their children at home, but a teacher cannot hit a child in public school. This is also true in Germany. In contrast(对比), it is against the law for anyone to hit a child in Sweden. Swedish parents cannot spank their children. The children also have a special government official who works for their rights. There is even a plan for children to divorce from their parents though this is not a law yet!

    (1)、How were children treated in industrial countries 100 years ago? 
    (2)、What does the author mean by "go too far?"
    (3)、Can a teacher in Germany hit his students in public school?
    (4)、What kind of people can beat children in Sweden? 
    (5)、What does it mean by "a plan for children to divorce from their parents?"
    (6)、How do you think parents in China should educate their children if they don't behave?
