meeting; instead, youd better take a proper attitude to it. in fact, a parents meeting is for the most part a communication meeting, where teachers and parents exchange information and opinions about students situations at school and home, which is beneficial to improve teaching quality. as for your problem, i think you can have a good talk with your parents and teachers. while talking with your parents, you can focus on how hard you study (if it is the case) and why you failed this time or even ask them to help analyze your failure. when talking with your teachers, better ask them for the law of each subject and effective methods of learning them. anyhow, improving your grades is the key to solving the problem. yours,li hua(another possible version)slowstudent, this is really a tough nut to crack. in my opinion, if you use your head a little bit, it is easy to deal with. let me put it clearer. now that parents meetings bring troubles and unhappiness to you, that would be okay if there were no such kind of meeting. it is impossible for you to forbid your school or your class to hold a parents meeting, but you can “forbid” your parents to attend the meeting. how? one way is not telling your parents there will be a parents meeting. another is trying to say something bad about the meeting (say, the meeting is intended for nothing but to collect money) so that your parents hate to go to it. these approaches prove effective, for i am as slow a student as you. yours,li hua阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的a,b,c或d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。the government of norway is planning to build an unusual storage center on an island in the arctic ocean. the place would be large enough to hold about two million seeds. the goal is to represent all crops known to scientists. the british magazine new scientist published details of the plan last month. the structure will be designed to protect the worlds food supply against nuclear war, climate change and other possible threats. it will be built in a mountain on the norwegian island of spitsbergen. the mountain is less than one thousand kilometers from the north pole, the northernmost position on earth.an international group called the global crop diversity trust is working on the project. the director of the group, cary fowler, spoke to new scientist. he said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if in his words “the worst came to the worst”. norway is expected to start work next year. the project is expected to cost three million dollars. workers will drill deep in the side of a sandstone mountain. temperatures in the area never rise above zero degrees celsius. the seeds will be protected behind concrete walls a meter thick and high-security doors.the magazine report says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farming. most of the seeds at first will come from collections at seed banks in africa, asia and latin america. to last a long time, seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures. workers will not be present all the time. but they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter. winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below zero celsius. the cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced.mr. fowler says the proposed structure will be the worlds most secure gene bank. he says the plant seeds would only be used when all other seeds are gone for some reason.norway first proposed the idea in the 1980s. but security concerns delayed the plan. at that time, the soviet union was permitted use of spitsbergen. new scientist says the plan won united nations approval in october at a meeting in rome of the food and agriculture organization.1. the project is meant to_. a. increase the worlds food production in the futureb. carry out some scientific experiments on plant genesc. protect crop seeds from dying out in case of possible disastersd. build an exhibition centre of the worlds plant seeds2. which of the following statements is true according to the above passage?a. the government of norway will perform the project alone.b. seeds to be collected there were produced ten thousand years ago.c. spitsbergen is chosen because it is away from the threat of unclear war forever.d. temperature is a major consideration when choosing the storage place.3. we can infer from the text that_.a. people will get newly-developed seeds from the center every yearb. the storage center will greatly promote the development of world agriculturec. norway meant to have built the storage centre more than 20 years agod. there havent been any seed storage centers in the world before4. what is probably the best title of the passage?a. noahs ark of plant seeds in plan b. the best place to store seedsc. concerns of world food supply d. a new way to feed the world【参考答案】14、cdca阅读理解。howling is a behaviour commonly observed among a wolf pack.as pack animals，wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each other.there are different explanations of a wolfs howl and it appears that there may be more to discover.one theory is that wolves howl to bond better together.its almost as if howling together helps the pack stay together.perhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together. but this theory may be wrong，explains fred hharrington，a professor who studies wolf behaviour.indeed，there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus，and the next，quarreling among each other.it appears that usually the lowestranking members of the pack may actually be “punished” for joining in the chorus at times.so is howling a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status among its members? why do wolves howl for sure?what is clear，however，is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other.hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times.when this happens，howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering.howling，interestingly，is a contagious behaviour.when one wolf starts to howl，very likely others will follow.this is often seen to occur in the morning，as if wolves were doing some sort of “roll call”where wolves all howl together to report their presence.动物的嚎叫有其目的性，而人的对唱也是为了呼唤同伴，所以人们认为两者在这一方面是相同的；但专家似乎发现，狼的嚎叫不仅仅是为了呼朋引伴，因为有时也会争斗，因此，研究之后，专家发现：狼的嚎叫可能是个传染形式的行为，有时也是为了呼唤同伴。5what is the possible similarity between wolves howling together and humans singing in chorus?athe act of calling each other.bthe sense of accomplishment.cthe act of hunting for something.dthe sense of belonging to a group.答案：d。细节判断题。从第二段的信息词“bond better together”以及“help the pack stay together”等可以确定两者的共同点与选项d的说法是一致的。6why does harrington think the“social bond”theory may be wrong?awolves separate from each other after howling.bwolves tend to protect their hunting grounds.cwolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together.dwolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus.答案：c。细节判断题。根据第三段中提到的“and the next, quarrelling among each other”以及“it appears that.be punished for joining.”都可以表明选项c的说法是符合原文之意的。7researchers are sure that wolves often howl to_.ashow their ranks bfind their companionscreport the missing onesdexpress their loneliness答案：b。细节判断题。根据倒数第二段中的第一句话的信息词“locate each other”以及最后一句中的“appears to be an excellent means of gathering”都可以明确：狼的嚎叫正是为了找伴儿，故选项b的说法是最符合原文的。8“howling.is a contagious behaviour”(in the last paragraph)means_.ahowling is a signal for huntingbhowling is a way of communicationchowling often occurs in the morningdhowling spreads from one to another答案：d。句意理解题。从最后一段中的第二句话中可以找到contagious一词的理解：一个随着一个的去做事情，如同选项d所说的那样。阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中, 选出最佳选项。for more than nine days，for more than 60 miles，thousands of beijingbound vehicles have come to an almost total stop on highways called the 6 and 110 that run from inner mongolia southeast to the nations capital. bai xiaolong，a 30yearold truck driver，says it took him five days to make the 350mile journey from inner mongolia to tianjin.he spent much of that time reading，textmessaging and sleeping rather than speeding up. “there was one day that i didnt move，not even an inch，”said bai，an inhabitant of jining in inner mongolia，a city at the western end of the traffic jam. chinese officials said that the congestion is mainly because of the maintenance(维护)projects that began in midaugust and are scheduled to be completed in midseptember.trucks carrying 8 tons or more of coal or fruit have been responsible for damaging the roadway，thus making the work necessary. drivers who often use the route know that heavy traffic has long been a fact of life.“the problem is really that therere too many cars and trucks and not enough lanes(车道)，”bai said.“we drivers are used to this sort of thing happening.”the two national freeways are heavily used by trucks carrying coal from the recently opened fields of inner mongolia to chinas coastal cities.the seemingly endless jam began on the 6 and spread to the 110，which runs parallel(平行的)，when officials sought to ease the traffic on the 6. the global times，and englishlanguage newspaper，said the jam had eased somewhat in the last two days，but inhabitants of the region say the congestion simply spilled out onto other roads.the congestion has created an economy of its own.vendors(小贩)sell boxed lunches，noodles and drinking water to the travelers，often at jackedup prices.and because of the longstanding problems along the highways，dozens of small hotels have appeared，attracting drivers who need a stop to catch more serious sleep. 1according to the text，the 110 was mainly damaged by_.atoo many carsbbad weathercpoor maintenancedheavy trucks答案：d细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后一句及第六段可知，导致这条国道毁坏的主要原因是那些重型卡车，故选d项。 2what can we infer from the text?abai xiaolong was born in tianjin.bthe problem of traffic jams in china will be solved soon.cchinese officials think it is necessary to build more lanes.dthe local people dont think the congestion has eased.答案：d推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中的inhabitants of the region say the congestion simply spilled out onto other roads可知，当地居民认为交通堵塞只是转移到了别的道路上，也就是说他们认为当地的交通拥堵并没有得到缓解。3the underlined word“jackedup”in the last paragraph probably means“_”ahigh brightcspecial dlow答案：a猜测词义题。因为堵车所以司机被困在那里，他们需要吃的和喝的，而一些商贩发现了这个商机，往往哄抬物价，司机们别无选择，由此可猜测出该词的意思为“很高的”。4what would be the best title of the passage?athe congestion creates an economy of its ownbtraffic jam near beijing stretches on for dayscthe traffic has improved in beijingdtruck drivers in china live a hard life答案：b标题归纳题。本文报道了一次严重的交通堵塞。60多英里的道路变成了停车场，足足堵了九天多的时间，b作为标题最合适。 阅读理解。job sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one fulltime job. the two people willingly act as parttime workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a fulltime worker. if they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 percent of the jobs wages，its holidays and its other benefits.job sharing differs from conventional(常规的) parttime work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment.job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing，which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide wellpaid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities. as would be expected, most job sharers are women. a survey carded out in 1988 by britains equal opportunities commission showed that 78 percent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. subsequent studies have come up with similar results. many of these women were reentering the job market after having had children，but they chose not to seek parttime work because it would have meant lower status. job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into fulltime work after a long absence.the necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional oneposition jobs. however，to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferenc
