One of the most striking (顯著) characteristics of English life is the good manners of people from all walks of life. There is little noisy behavior, and practically no loud arguing in the street. People don’t rush excitedly for seats in buses and trains, but wait in queues at bus stops in a quiet and orderly manner.
English people are naturally very polite and never tired of saying “Thank you”, “I’m sorry” and “I beg your pardon”. If you follow anyone who is entering a building or a room, he will hold the door open for you. Many foreigners have commented on the remarkable politeness of the English people.
English people don’t like showing their emotions even in dangerous and tragic situation, and ordinary people seem to keep good-tempered and cheerful under difficulties. They often see the good aspect of things.
English people don’t like any boasting or showing off in manners, dress or speech. Sometimes they conceal their knowledge; a linguist, for example, may not mention his understanding of a foreigner’s language.
An Englishman prefers his own house to an apartment in a block of flats, because he doesn’t want his activities to be overlooked by his neighbors. “An Englishman’s home is his castle.”
Many Englishmen help their wives with housework. They clean the windows on Saturday afternoon, and they often wash the dishes after supper in the evening.
Although times may have changed and cultures have changed, too, the English people still have special characteristics which set them apart from other nationalities.
Which characteristic of English people is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Humorous. B. Polite. C. Modest. D. optimistic(樂觀).

Just as the world’s most respected scientific bodies have confirmed that the world is getting hotter, they have also stated that there is strong evidence that humans are driving the warming. Countless recent reports from the world’s leading scientific bodies have said the same thing. For example, a 2010 summary of climate science by the Royal Society stated that: “There is strong evidence that the warming of the Earth over the last half-century has been caused largely by human activity.”
The idea that humans could change the planet’s climate may be counter-intuitive(與直覺不符的), but the basic science is well understood. Each year, human activity causes billions of tons of greenhouse gases to be released（釋放）into the atmosphere. As scientists have known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible blanket.
Of course, the planet’s climate has always been changing thanks to “natural” factors(因素) such as changes in solar or volcanic（火山的）activity, or cycles relating the Earth’s going around the sun. According to the scientific literature, however, the warming recorded to date matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build-up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere – not the warming we would expect from other possible causes.
Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming observed so far, that would beg a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it in The Rough Guide to Climate Change: “If some newly discovered factor can account for the climate change, then why aren’t carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”
The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths – one with human influence and one without. That obviously isn’t possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty.
In most scientists’ opinion, the global warming is mainly caused by ________.
A. solar activity
B. volcanic activity
C. the Earth’s going around the sun
D. human activity
The text is developed by ________.
A. giving typical examples
B. following the order of space
C. analyzing a theory and arguing it
D. comparing and finding differences
The underline word “identical” means ________.
A. totally different
B. exactly the same
C. extremely important
D. relatively independent
Which of the following can be the best title?
A. Are All the Scientists Really Scientific?
B. Where Is Global Warming Leading Us to?
C. Are Humans Definitely Causing Global Warming?
D. What’s Relation of Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases?

B
When a rather dirty, poorly-dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can’t be no question that the world is full of terrible sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.
Certainly, most of the world’s great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally (道德方面) right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.
First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (惡行). Secondly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self-dependence.
Related to this in the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people . Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.
It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.
（ ）60. What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A. Moral deeds of people.
B. Religious activities of the church.
C. Moral goodness of the giver
D. Arguments on giving to beggars.
（ ）61. What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed?” in the second paragraph?
A. People no longer know who was morally right in the past.
B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.
C. We don’t meet with those who need help any more.
D. Now it is the government’s duty to help the beggars.
（ ）62. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.
B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.
C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.
D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.
（ ）63. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because ___________.
A. the cases can be so different
B. there are so many beggars
C. there is so much money wasted
D. there are so many different arguments

科目：高中英語 來源：2010-2011學年廣東省高三下學期2月聯(lián)考英語卷 題型：閱讀理解
In the last years of the Warring States period, the State of Qin attacked the State of Wei on a large scale repeatedly and occupied large areas of land, for the State of Wei was too weak to defend itself. In 273 B.C., the Qin army launched a more serious attack upon the State of Wei than ever. The king of the State of Wei gathered his officials, and asked with a worried look if anyone could propose a way to defeat the Qin army. After years of chaos caused by the wars, the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak of resistance.
At the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the officials persuaded the king to sue for peace, at the cost of giving away to the State of Qin the large area of land north of the Huanghe River and south of the Taihang Mountain. However Su Dai, a counselor, did not agree. He hurried up to the king and said: "Your Majesty, they don't think about the interests of the country at all. It is just because they are afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. Of course you can temporarily satisfy the ambition of Qin, but it will never stop attacking us until our land is totally given away."
He added,“Once there was a man whose house was on fire. People told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. Instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to make the fire fiercer. Isn't it similar to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the State of Wei?”
Though Su Dai's argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the State of Qin a large area of the land of the State of Wei. As might be expected, the Qin army attacked the State of Wei in 225 B.C. again, surrounding the capital city Daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes (堤防) of the Huanghe River. The State of Wei was finally destroyed.
1. When asked how to defeat the Qin army, most officials _______.
A. were scared and at a loss what to do
B. looked worried and turned to Su Dai for help
C. asked a large enemy force to bear down upon the border
D. were extremely frightened and decided to give up fighting back
2.The underlined phrase“sue for”in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.
A. demand B. beg for C. search for D. negotiate for
3.Su Dai used the example of“carrying faggots to put out a fire”to show _______.
A. the ambition of the State of Qin
B. the serious results of giving in
C. the loss of the land of the State of Wei
D. the trembling consequences of defense
4. The story is mainly developed by _______.
A. time B. logic C. making comparison D. cause and effect
5. The attitude of the writer towards Su Dai is _______.
A. approval B. praise C. neutral D. disapproval
