Two Christmas traditions have come under attack in recent years from environmentalists: Christmas cards and Christmas trees.
Paper cards are seen as wasteful and, for some people, going card-free is another way of going green. They also argue that in a world of , Skype, Facebook and Twitter, people are in touch all the time anyway; they no longer need the yearly card that connects them with long lost friends. If you want to send Christmas greetings, there are free e-cards, which get the job done with no postage or wasted paper.
However, especially for people who didn't grow up with , there is something missing from a Christmas .The first Christmas cards appeared in London in 1843 and were designed by the same man who had introduced the world's first postage stamp three years earlier.His name was Sir Henry Cole. .
They rose in popularity throughout the 20th century.Many people sent cards that were sold for charity.The most famous of these are the ones sold for UNICEF.In the UK this year, in the three weeks before Christmas, the post office expects to handle 100 million cards every day. Environmental awareness also means that nowadays many people recycle their cards; this helps raise money to plant more trees, as well as recreating more paper.
When we think of trees at Christmas, there is one that immediately springs (跃人) to mind-the evergreen tree that people decorate with ornaments and place their presents under.The custom dates back almost a thousand years to Germany.Nowadays 33 to 36 million Christmas trees are produced in America and 50 to 60 million in Europe each year.Some trees are sold live with roots and soil so people can plant them later and reuse them next year.
Some people prefer artificial trees as they are reusable and much cheaper than their natural alternative. However, environmentalists point out that they are made from petroleum (石油) products and so have many pollution issues. 66. What is the main idea of the article? A.To introduce the history of two typical Christmas traditions. B.To point out the problems caused by celebrating Christmas. C.To analyze how two Christmas traditions grew in popularity. D.To explain the debate about some Christmas traditions.
67.What does the underlined word \"They\" in the fourth paragraph probably mean? A.Many people B.Christmas cards C.Postage stamps D.Christmas s
68.Some people suggest getting rid of paper cards because .
a.they cannot be recycled .
b.they are not environmentally friendly c.they are mostly sold for charity
d.free e-cards have many advantages over them .
e.they are not as necessary as they used to be for people to stay connected A. a, b, d B.a, c, d C. b, d, e D. b, c, e 69.What can we conclude from the article? A.The first Christmas cards were designed earlier than the world's first stamps. B.This year has seen a dramatic drop in Christmas card sales.

English teenagers are to receive compulsory (必修的) cooking lessons in schools. The idea is to encourage healthy eating to fight the country's increasing obesity(肥胖) rate.It's feared that basic cooking and food preparation skills are being lost as parents turn to pre-prepared convenience foods.
Cooking was once regarded as an important part of education in England-even if it was mainly aimed at girls.In recent decades cooking has progressively become a minor activity in schools.In many cases the schools themselves have given up cooking meals in kitchens in the schools.But the rising level of obesity has led to a rethink about the food that children are given and the skills they should be taught.
\"What I want is to teach young people how to do basic, simple recipes like a tomato sauce, a bolognaise, a simple curry, a stir-fry-which they can use now at home and then in their later life,\" said Ed Balls, the minister responsible for schools.
The new lessons are due to start in September, but some schools without kitchens will be given longer to adapt. There is also likely to be a shortage of teachers with the right skills, since the trend has been to teach food technology rather than practical cooking.Also the compulsory lessons for hands on cooking will only be one hour a week for one term. But the well-known cookery writer, Pru Leith, believes it will be worth it.
'\"If we'd done this thirty years ago we might not have the crisis we've got now about obesity and lack of knowledge about food and so on. Every child should know how to cook, not just so that they'll be healthy, but because it's a life skill which is a real pleasure.\"
The renewed interest in cooking is primarily a response to the level of obesity in Britain
which is among the highest in Europe, and according to government figures half of all Britons will be obese in 25 years if current trends are not stopped. 71.The passage mainly talks about . A.the compulsory cooking classes B.the lost cooking skills C.the healthy eating D.the reason for obesity
72.Which of the following is NOT the purpose for English teenagers to receive cooking lessons? A.To encourage teenagers to eat healthy food. B.To reduce the country's increasing obesity rate. C.To prevent basic cooking and food preparation skills from being lost. D.To stop parents from turning to pre-prepared convenience foods. 73.In what way will cooking lessons benefit the students? A.They will be able to do some basic, simple recipes like a tomato sauce. B.They will be healthy and enjoy the pleasure of such a life skill as well. C.They will be able to make food experiments with the knowledge and skills. D.They will be able to control the level of obesity in the whole country.
74.The well-known cookery writer, Pru Leith, thinks it to offer compulsory cooking
lessons in schools. A.difficult B.necessary C.funny D.timely 75.It can be inferred from the passage that . A.cooking has always been an important part of school education in England B.English teenagers will have their cooking lessons twice a week for one year C.the obesity rate in Britain has been rapidly growing in recent decades D.the students will pay a lot of money to the school for their cooking lessons

[201***雅礼中学9次月考]
词数:450 体裁:说明文 难度:4
I needed to get some money so, after Christmas, I took a job in the clothes department at Graham’s for the first fortnight of the January sale. I can’t say that I enjoyed it, but it was an experience I’ll never forget.
I could never understand why there were so many things in the sales; where did they all come from? Now I know the secret! Firstly, there is the special winter stock (货物) and the stock that people buy all the year round; some of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly, there are the summer clothes they couldn’t sell last year; these are heavily reduced to clear them. Thirdly, there
are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales; these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale. Clever! Lastly, they buy in “seconds? (clothes not in perfect condition) for the sale and they are sold very cheaply.
When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around three sides of the building. This made me very nervous.
When the big moment arrived to open the doors, the security guards, looking less confident than usual, came up to them, keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn’t believe my eyes; this wasn’t shopping, it was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn’t keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind.
Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colours and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl(爬行) through people’s legs and get hold of things they couldn’t get near themselves.
Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English Queue gone? The whole day continued like that, but I kept my temper(脾气)! I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why, twice a year, Graham’s were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this.
In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK.
You won’t believe this but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.
61. What kind of clothes is likely to be sold 5% cheaper? A. Last summer’s clothes.
B. Clothes not in perfect condition.
C. Clothes bought in specially for the sales. D. Clothes for winter. 62. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The customers gave up the queuing for which the English are famous. B. The customers kept their temper while looking for clothes they wanted. C. Small children enjoyed crawling through people’s legs. D. The security guards were fearless of the crowd.
63. In the author’s opinion, why were Graham’s happy to make their expensive store into “Battlefield?
A. There were too many clothes and they wanted to clear them in the sales. B. They were eager to show that they were clever at doing business. C. They could take the chance to raise the prices of all their clothes. D. They wanted to make more money by having sales. . The expression “crashed out” means ________. A. chatted with her friends C. broke down
B. slept soundly D. dined out
65. What would be the best title for the passage? A. The Best Bargain. C. Sale Fever.
B. Hunting for a job. D. A Pleasant Fortnight.
【文章大意】这是一篇介绍人们疯狂购买打折商品的文章。
61. D 考查细节理解。由第二段... some of these things are slightly reduced. 可知,lightly 意为“轻微的,一点的”,与题中所说便宜5%相吻合,因此可知为冬天的衣服。
62. A 考查对与 Where had the famous English Queue gone? 的理解。
63.D 考查作者的态度。由文中可知,Graham’s 希望看到人们像在战场上一样地疯狂购买他们的东西,因为这样可以赚很多钱。
. B 考查猜测词义。根据文中 Then I had dinner and went back to bed... 中的 back 可以印证她又返回睡觉去了,说明刚才在睡觉。
65. C 考查主旨要义。纵观全文可知。这是一个人们狂购打折商品的故事。所以选 C。

With many college graduates struggling to find jobs, one of the most important for you to understand is that you’re in school all your life. In fact, your real education is just beginning.
I’d like to pass on a few lessons that you didn’t necessarily get in school. If you’ve been out of school for a few years or a lot of years, they could still teach you something.
·Develop relationships and keep networking. If I had to name a single characteristic shared
by all the truly successful people I’ve met, I’d say it is the ability to create and nurture (培育) networks of contacts. Start strengthening your relationships now, so that they’ll be in place when you really need them later. In the classroom it was mostly about individual performance. Success in real life requires relationships.
·Set goals. Ask any winner what the key to his or her success was, and you’ll hear four consistent messages: vision, determination, persistence, and setting goals. If you don’t set goals and determine where you’re going, how will you know when you get there? Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the morning; they are an incentive (激励)to keep you going all day.
·Sense of humor. I’m a firm believer in using humor, though not necessarily jokes. A good sense of humor helps one understand the unconventional( 非传统的 ), tolerate the unpleasant, and overcome the unexpected. There are plenty of times to be serious, but I believe that keeping things light and comfortable encourages better teamwork.
·Volunteer. It might be hard to do a lot of volunteer work at first, but people who help others on a regular basis have a healthier outlook on life.
57. By saying “your real education is just beginning”, the author wants to . A. explain why it’s difficult for college graduates to find jobs
B. show the importance of social experience, besides schooling, in education C. advise students to value their time at school, and to study hard
D. advise college graduates to face bravely the problems they may encounter(遭遇) 58. You should start to strengthen your relationships now because . A. it will take you time to develop them before you need them
B. you may have gotten used to being judged as an individual, and need to change C. successful people have no time to develop relationships with you
D. you need to spend a lot of time learning the importance of good relationships 59. The author believes that being humorous means that you . A. should prepare jokes to be used in various situations
B. can deal with difficult situations in an easy and comfortable way C. can show your difference from others and be able to succeed D. should smile all the time and avoid being serious on any occasion 60. The target readers of this passage are probably . A. educational experts
B. people who want to change jobs C. college graduates who have just left school D. high school students who are still at school
【文章大意】本篇给刚刚毕业找工作的大学生提供了一些重要的指导建议。
57.B 考查句意理解。第一段作者提到很多大学毕业生开始找工作,这并不是学习生涯的结束,反而真正的教育才刚刚开始。故符合题意。
58.A考查细节理解。根据第三段第三句“So that they’11 be in place when you really need them later.”可知目的是提前做好准备,以防需要。
59.B考查细节理解。根据第五段末句“but I believe that keeping things light and comfortable encourages better teamwork.”可知正确。
60.C考查写作意图。 文章开头就提到对象是刚刚毕业的大学毕业生,故C项符合题意。
