A little under one-third of U.S. families have no Internet access and do not plan to get it, with most of the holdouts seeing little use for it in their lives, according to a survey released on Friday.
Park Associates, a Dallas-based technology market research firm, said 29 percent of U.S. families, or 31 million homes, do not have Internet access and do not intend to subscribe(预订)to an Internet service over the next 12 months. The second annual National Technology Scan conducted by Park found that the main reason why potential customers say they do not subscribe to the Internet is because of the low value to their daily lives rather than concerns over cost.
Forty-four percent of these families say they are not interested in anything on the Internet, versus just 22 percent who say they cannot afford a computer or the cost of Internet service, the survey showed. The answer “I’m not sure how to use the Internet” came from 17 percent of participants who do not subscribe. The response “I do all my e-commerce shopping and YouTube-watching at work” was cited by 14 percent of Internet-access users. Three percent said the Internet doesn’t reach their homes.
The study found U.S. broadband adoption grew to 52 percent over , up from 42 percent in . Roughly half of new subscribers converted(转变)from slower-speed, dial-up Internet access while the other half of families had no prior access.
“The industry continues to chip(击破)away at the core of non-subscribers, but has a long way to go,” said John Barrett, director of research at Parks Associates. “Entertainment applications will be the key. If anything will pull in the holdouts, it’s going to be applications that make the Internet more similar to pay-TV,” he predicted.
1. What does the underlined word “holdouts” in the first paragraph most probably mean?
A. some American families
B. those who hold out one’s opinions
C. those who have been surveyed
D. those who still haven’t access to the Internet currently
2. Many potential customers refuse to subscribe to the Internet mainly because _________.
A. they show too much concern about the cost B. they can find little value of it
C. they do most YouTube-watching at work D. the Internet doesn’t reach their homes
3. From the passage we can infer that ________.
A. It is not an easy job to transform those holdouts into the Internet users
B. people will adopt dial-up Internet access no more
C. many Americans enjoy doing e-commerce shopping at home
D. more than half of the population are using the Internet in 2005
4. According to John Barrett, what is the key to attracting more U.S. families to broadband service?
A. making the Internet look more similar to TV set
B. applying the Internet more to entertainment
C. providing more pay-TV programs
D. chipping away at the core of non-subscribers
5. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Web develops with technology B. The present situation of web
C. Many Americans see little point to web D. It is urgent to promote web service

When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately,when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.
Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.
The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn't realize his tale of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.

这是一篇科普性读物。选材于医学的某一方面的研究――对巧克力中theobromine(可可碱)独特的治疗咳嗽的功效的对比研究,证明theobromine(可可碱)是未来有效的治疗咳嗽的良药。
1 D。推理判断题。从第二段的Their study found that theobromine, found in cocoa, was nearly a third more effective in stopping coughs than codeine, which was considered the best cough medicine at present. 可看出theobromine比codeine更有效,判断A项错误。既然它用来止咳,改善人们的生活质量,所以B项错误。在第一段提到了heobromine是从chocolate里提炼出来的,所以C项错误。故正确答案是D项。
2 C。细节理解题。A、B、D三项中的物品是用来做实验的物品。在文章第四段最后一句The researchers then measured levels of capsaicin, which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign of how well the medicine are stopping coughs. 可知Capsaicin(辣椒素)用来引起咳嗽和作为这些药物如何止咳的依据。

Passage 3
(中考变式题)阅读短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。(10分)
If you live in the United States, the law says you can't have a full-time job until you are 16 years old. At 14 or 15, you can work part-time after school or on weekends, and during summer you can work 40 hours each week. Does all that mean that if you are younger than 14, you can't earn(赚) your own money? Of course not! Kids who are between the ages of 10 and 13 can earn money by doing lots of things.
Valerie, 11, told us that she made money by cleaning up other people's yards. Lena, 13, makes money by knitting(织) dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors, and Reisa said she had started taking art classes and showing her work to people. People have asked her to draw pictures for them and they pay her for them. Jasmine, 13, writes articles for different magazines!
Earning is learning. By working to earn your own money, you are learning the skills you will need to succeed in life. These skills can include things like getting along with others, using technology(技术) and using your time. Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning it; however, when you make your own money, you don't have to depend on someone else. The five dollars that you earn will probably make you feel a lot better in your hand than the twenty dollars you ask for.
1.Kids can have full-time jobs at the age of ________ in the USA.
A.17 B.14 C.13 D.10
2.If you are 15 years old, you can't work ________.
A.after school B.on weekends
C.during summer D.on weekdays
3.Reisa makes money by ________.
A.cleaning up other people's yards

A.You are learning how to succeed by working in your teens.
B.Kids are encouraged to live independently in the USA.

D.Kids don't need to get along with others when making money.
5.From the passage we know that ________.
A.parents won't let their children earn their own money
B.it's hard for kids under 14 years old to earn money in the USA

We produce 500 billion of plastic bags in a year worldwide and they are thrown away polluting oceans,killing wildlife and getting dumped in landfills where they take up to 1000 years to decompose. Researchers have been unsuccessfully looking for a solution.
The 16yearold Canadian high school student,Daniel Burd, from Waterloo Collegiate Institute, has discovered a way to make plastic bags degrade(分解) in as few as 3 months,a finding that won him first prize at the Canada-Wide Science Fair,a $10 000 prize,a $20 000 scholarship, and a chance to revolutionize a major environmental issue.
Burd's strategy was simple: Since plastic does eventually degrade, it must be eaten by microorganisms (微生物). If those microorganisms could be identified, we could put them to work eating the plastic much faster than under normal conditions.
With this goal in mind, he ground plastic bags into a powder and concocted(调制) a solution of household chemicals, yeast(酵母) and tap water to encourage microbes growth. Then he added the plastic powder and let the microbes work their magic for 3 months. Finally,he tested the resulting bacterial culture on plastic bags,exposing one plastic sample to dead bacteria as a control. Sure enough, the plastic exposed (暴露) to the live bacteria was 17% lighter than the control after six weeks.
The inputs are cheap:maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because microbes produce heat as they work, and the only outputs are water and tiny levels of carbon dioxide.
“Almost every week I have to do chores and when I open the closet door, I have piles of plastic bags falling on top of me. One day, I got tired of it and I wanted to know what other people are doing with these plastic bags. The answer:not much. So I decided to do something myself.”said Daniel Burd.
1. Daniel Burd won first prize at the Canada-Wide Science Fair because________.
A. he found a new kind of microorganism
B. he contributed much to environmental protection
C. he found a way to degrade plastics in shorter time
D. he could encourage microbes growth in an easier way
2. Daniel Burd exposed one plastic sample to dead bacteria to________.
A. make the live bacteria work better
B. test how effective his method was
C. know which bacteria worked faster
D. control the temperature in the process
3. Maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because ________.
A. plastics can get hot easily
B. microbes can produce heat themselves
C. much carbon dioxide is produced
D. the temperature can be controlled
4. Daniel Burd got his idea from ________.
A. his school textbook
B. the failure of researchers
C. his everyday work
D. the practice of other people

Something in chocolate could be used to stop coughs and lead to more effective medicines, say UK researchers.
Their study found that theobromine, found in cocoa, was nearly a third more effective in stopping coughs than codeine, which was considered the best cough medicine at present.
The Imperial College London researchers who published their results online said the discovery could lead to more effective cough treatment. “While coughing is not necessarily harmful(有害的) it can have a major effect on the quality of life, and this discovery could be a huge step forward in treating this problem,” said Professor Peter Barnes.
Ten healthy volunteers(志愿者) were given theobromine, codeine or placebo, a pill that contains no medicine, during the experiment. Neither the volunteers nor the researchers knew who received which pill. The researchers then measured levels of capsaicin, which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign of how well the medicine are stopping coughs.
The team found that, when the volunteers were given theobromine, the capsaicin need to produce a cough was around a third higher than in the placebo group. When they were given codeine they need only slightly higher levers of capsaicin to cause a cough compared with the placebo.
The researchers said that theobromine worked by keeping down a verve activity(神经活动), which cause coughing. They also found that unlike some standard cough treatments, theobromine caused no side effects such as sleepiness.
1. According to Professor Barnes, theobromine ______.
A. cannot be as effective as codeine
B. can be harmful to people’s health
C. cannot be separated from chocolate
D. can be a more effective cure for coughs
2. What was used in the experiment to cause coughing?
A. Theobromine. B. Codeine. C. Capsaicin. D. Placebo.
3. We learn from the text that volunteers in the experiment _____.
A. were patients with bad coughs
B. were divided into the three groups
C. received standard treatments
D. suffered little side effects
4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Codeine: A New Medicine B. Chocolate May Cure Coughs
C. Cough Treatment: A Hard Case D. Theobromine Can Cause Coughs

Katharine Mehta's mother likes to joke that the first sentence her daughter said was “I love dogs.” It's not the fact,but it's certainly true in spirit.
“When I was young,my grandmother told me about how she sometimes found stray dogs and cats,and kept them on her farm as pets,” says Katharine.“That made me wonder what would happen when animals didn't have a home.I felt horrible thinking that they might be hungry or could get hit by a car.”
But what could a little girl do? The answer came during a trip to a park in her New York City neighborhood two years ago,where she met volunteers from Mighty Mutts,a local no?kill animal rescue organization.“I thought maybe I could earn some money and give it to them,” she says.
Since Katharine had plenty of practice taking care of her own dog,she decided to start a summer dog?walking service.She chose two friends and,with their parents' permission,the group put up homemade posters with their phone numbers and a bargain price—50 cents an hour.Before long they had 15 dogs in their care.“We walked two or three at a time with one mother helping out,” she says.“By the end of that summer,we'd collected $45.” That fall Katharine and her mother,Loma,came up with another mini enterprise to raise money for Mighty Mutts—selling fresh?baked shortbread to their neighbors.
The 11?year?old,who starts sixth grade this fall,has become a nonstop campaigner.Her mother says,“When she sees somebody with a dog,she starts a conversation and tells them to donate to Mighty Mutts.”
Katharine's passion comes from the heart.“It makes me cry to think that strays might be_put_to_sleep when there's a group that can find new homes for them,” Katharine says.“But it makes me smile to know I can help.”

We're fortunate to live along a monarch butterfly migration path.Every fall,thousands of them fly through our backyard,headed south for the winter.We always thought that a butterfly with a broken wing was a sad sight,but one we could do nothing about.We were wrong! Jeannette Brandt was bike riding near Hadley,in the southern Adirondacks of New York,a few weeks ago when she spotted an injured monarch butterfly and took it home in an empty water bottle.Brandt and her partner,Mike Parwana,fed the butterfly rotting pears and water sweetened with honey.The butterfly survived,and fattened up.But what to do about the broken wing?
The couple found an online video demonstrating butterfly wing repair which was posted by the nonprofit Live Monarch Foundation of Boca Raton,Florida.Tiny cardboard splints and contact cement did the trick.In another week,the butterfly was flying at the couple's home.But by then,it was too cold in upstate New York to release the monarch into the are known for their 3,000 miles migration from Canada to Mexico.But this migration is usually finished by the end of October,and it was mid?November.
About a week ago,the couple put the monarch in a shoebox and went to Scotty's,a truck stop north of Albany,NY.Eventually,a good?natured trucker from Alabama,who was headed to Florida,volunteered to transport the monarch to the Sunshine State.Last Tuesday,the trucker called.The butterfly with the mended wing had been released in Florida,now free to join millions of other monarch butterflies migrating south to the mountains of central Mexico.

Warren Buffett
For someone who is such a successful investor, Warren Buffett comes off as a pretty ordinary guy. He was born on August 30, 1930. __71__ He used to go doortodoor and sell soda water. When his family moved to Washington, Buffett became a paperboy for The Washington Post. Buffett ran his five paper routes and even added magazines to round out his product offerings. While still in school, he was making$ 175 a month, a fulltime wage for many men.
__72__ He spent $ 1,200 on 40 acres of farmland in Nebraska. He and a friend also made $ 50 a week by placing pinball machines in barber shops. They called their venture(企业) Wilson Coin Operated Machine Co.
Already a successful smalltime businessman, Buffett wasn't interested in going to college but ended up at the University of Pennsylvania—his father encouraged him to go. __73__ But he was turned down, which had to be one of the worst admission
decisions in Harvard history. The outcome affected Buffett's life, for he ended up attending Columbia Business School, where he studied under Professor Benjamin Graham the father of securities analysis who provided the foundation (基础) for Buffett's investment strategy.
From the beginning, Buffett made his fortune from investing. He started with all the money he had made from selling soda
water, delivering papers, and operating pinball machines. Between 1950 and 1956, he grew his $ 9,800 to $ 14,000. __74__ And then he gradually drew in other investors through word of mouth and very attractive terms.
__75__ He doesn't collect houses or cars or works of art, and he disdains(鄙视) companies that waste money on expensive cars, private dining rooms, and highpriced real villas. He is a creature of habit—same house, same office, same city, same soda water.
A. Then Buffett applied to Harvard Business School.
B. Buffett is more likely to be found in a fourstar restaurant.
C.When he was 14, Buffett developed great interest in investment.
D.Even as a young child, Buffett was serious about making money.
E. One thing is for sure about Buffett: he is happy to do what he is doing.
F. Buffett's investment strategy mirrors his lifestyle and his overall philosophy.
G. From there, he organized investment partnerships with his family and friends.

Most kids suffer from the common cold up to 10 times a year.Right now,there is no known cure for sniffles,sneezes,and coughs. But help could be on the way.Scientists recently announced they have made some progress in finding a cure for the common
cold.The rhinovirus (rhino is Greek for “nose”) causes more than 50 percent of most colds.A team of researchers from around the United States has decoded (解码) the 99 known strains,or types,of rhinovirus.
It turns out the virus that causes a simple cold is much more complicated than researchers once thought.Scientists have determined that you can have two separate strains of rhinovirus at the same time.Those strains can work together.The viruses can move their genetic material slowly inside your body.And if that happens,a whole new strain of virus gets created.
The rhinovirus’s ability to change like that makes one person’s cold different from another person’s.Therefore,it’s very difficult to develop an effective vaccine (疫苗) to fight it.But this new research does open the door for developing more effective ways to treat colds once a person has one.“We may have to have four or five drugs,and you’d need a test at your doctor’s office to know which drug will work.We are now quite certain that a very effective treatment for the common cold is at hand,” said Dr. Stephen
B.Liggett,an author of the rhinovirus study.
Liggett also hopes that finding a way to fight rhinovirus will help people who suffer from asthma (哮喘).Common colds set off more than 50 percent of asthma attacks.So if colds can be cut short,then a major cause of asthma attacks is gone too.
But don’t put away the chicken soup just yet. There’s still lots of testing and development to be done before any of these cold “cures” can be available to the public.Drug development and government approval can take many years.So,for now,just keep washing your hands and get plenty of rest.Doctors say that’s the best way to stay away from the sniffles.
1.The third paragraph is mainly about ________.
A.how the coldcauser works and how it is created
B.how scientists devote their efforts to the cold research
C.what remains to be done in dealing with the common cold
D.why children suffer from the common cold so often
2.Why is it difficult to develop an effective vaccine to fight the common cold?
A.Because medical technology isn’t advanced enough.
B.Because no two colds are caused by exactly the same strain of virus.
C.Because it’s not worth developing a vaccine for the common cold.
D.Because many drugs for the common cold have already been invented.
3.What does the underlined sentence imply?
A.Never throw away the chicken soup while you are eating chickens.
B.Don’t think that drinking chicken soup is an effective way to prevent colds.
C.Don’t take it for granted that these cold “cures” can be put into clinical practiceimmediately.
D.Don’t drink any chicken soup before you get recovered from a cold.
4.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Most of colds are caused by the rhinovirus.
B.Scientists had thought the cold viruses are far more complicated than facts.
C.Over half of asthma attacks are related to common colds.
D.An effective cure for the common cold is about to be found.
5.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A.Protect Your Kids from the Common Cold
B.You Only Do It by Nature If You Catch a Cold
C.Scientists Make Progress in Curing the Common Cold
D.Useful Tips for You to Stay away from the Sniffles

(201*·河南部分重点联考)
Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you, specifically, what are the values which Americans live by. They have never given the matter any thought.
Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to life in the United States. This has caused me to try to look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors. I am confident that the values listed in this booklet describe most (but not all )Americans, and that understanding these values can help you, the international visitor, understand Americans.
It is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these 13 values are ingrained in Americans, they will then be able to understand 95% of American actions—actions which might otherwise appear “strange”, “confusing”, or “unbelievable” when evaluated from the perspective (aspect) of the foreigner's own society and its values.
The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of that particular group. When you encounter (meet) an action, or hear a statement in the United States which surprises you, try to see it as an expression of one or more of the values listed in this booklet.
1. An ordinary American can't tell you his/her value system because ________.
A. this is something an American lives by
B. everyone will have his/her own value system
C. he/she has never thought about it
D. values are something often in their thought
2. The author lists 13 values in his booklet to ________.
A. invite foreigners to visit America
B. look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors
C. describe the confusing actions of most Americans
D. help international visitors understand Americans
3. The underlined word “ingrained” in Line 2, Paragraph 3 most probably means “________”.
A. rooted in the minds
B. found in the grains
C. planted for food
D. prepared with grain
4. Visitors sometimes find Americans behave in a strange, confusing or unbelievable way, probably because ______.
A. Americans are hard to understand
B. Americans have values which are entirely different from their own
C. they view Americans according to the values in their own society
D. it is difficult to understand any people when you first encounter them
答案与解析:
本文是一本书的序言。作者观察到,很多外国游客对美国人的行为举止觉得很奇怪,而这是因为他们不了解美国人的价值观。于是作者写了一本小册子介绍这些价值观。了解了这些东西,人们就不会觉得美国人的行为“怪异、不可思议”了。
1.C 细节理解题。第一段说,美国人很难告诉你他们奉行的价值观是什么,因为他们从来没有想过这个问题。
2.D 推理判断题。由第二、三段的'内容可知作者列出美国人的13条价值观是为了帮助外国游客理解美国人的行为举止
3.A 词义猜测题。结合上下文内容可知这13条是美国人从来不加考虑而奉行的价值观,因此这些是深深地扎根于美国人的大脑中的东西,画线词的含义应该是A项。
4.C 推理判断题。第三段说假如外国游客从自己的文化价值观的角度去看美国人的行为,他们就会觉得美国人的行为表现“怪异,让人看不懂,难以相信”,由此可知选C项。
