On the international market, the price of petroleum has been falling down, which is now _____ it used to be.
A.as one third asB.one third as much as
C.one third more thanD.as one third much as
B

试题分析:考查倍数表达法。本题中的倍数是分数的形式one third三分之一;倍数表达有四种:1. “A+倍数+形容词或副词的比较级+than+B”, 2.“A+倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as+B”, 3. “A+倍数+the size/height/length/width, etc+of+B”, 4. “……times+what+从句”。本题使用了第2种;句意:在国际市场上,原油的价格已经下降了,现在的几个是原来的3分之一。故B正确。
点评:倍数表达要牢记,倍数表达法是高中英语教学的重点,也是历届高考的热点。当我们要表达甲是乙的几倍时,通常用句型来表示:
1. “A+倍数+形容词或副词的比较级+than+B”,表示“A比B大(长、高、宽等)多少倍”。如:
 This rope is twice longer than that one. 这根绳子是那根绳子的两倍长(比那根绳子长一倍)。
2.“A+倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as+B”,表示“A正好是B的多少倍”。如:
 Asia is four times as large as Europe. 亚洲的面积是欧洲的四倍。
3. “A+倍数+the size/height/length/width, etc+of+B”,表示“A正好是B的多少倍”。如:
This street is four times the length of that one. 这条街是那条街的四倍长。
4. “……times+what+从句”。如:
The production is now three times what it was ten years ago. 现在的产量比十年前增加了两倍。

阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写在横线上(请注意问题后的词数要求)
[1] For the people living in the Nile Basin,the river is their life. This 6,825 km river,whose watershed (流域) covers three million square kilometers,flows through mountains,woodlands,lakes and deserts. Its potential for fishing,tourism and shipping is great — but so are its challenges.
[2] Water shortage,already serious in Egypt and Sudan,will soon influence several other countries in the watershed, too. Today,about 160 million people depend on the Nile River for their living. Within the next 25 years,the district's population is expected to double,adding to the demand brought about by growth in industry and agriculture. The frequent drought adds to the urgency.
[3] Water quality is also a problem. Precious soil is washed out to sea. Wastes from industry and agriculture create pollution. Higher concentrations of salt influence irrigated soils. Water­borne diseases continue unchecked. In areas where it's hot and damp,water hyacinths choke off lakes,dams and other sections of the river,making it difficult for fishing and other businesses to move forward.
[4] Native people along the narrow area of farmland have watched the sand move closer day by day. They've seen the river change course,and their only source of water thickened with mud. They're very poor and have few choices.
[5] But a new program,the Nile Basin Initiative,is offering very practical assistance. The program is ________ a water­management project. It's a plan for the social and economic development of a vast district as well:it concentrates on the needs of the poorest of the poor and the environment that supports them.
[6] These are whole ecosystem problems,calling for united solutions.Half the Nile Basin's countries are among the world's poorest nations;yet,somehow,they must find the resources,skills and political will to overcome these challenges.

根据短文内容,从下面所给的A—F选项中选出能概括每一段(61-65)主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。
A. Attach more aid to weak schools.
B. Children should share the same educational rights.
C. Heavy load is supposed to be taken off the students’ shoulders.
D. Bring the industrial management of education to an end.
E. Balanced education may stop school choice.
F. Key schools and classes are unreasonable.
小题1:Education should be intended to make better citizens instead of making money. Money can be earned by starting business. It’s time to abolish the industrialized education so that all the people can benefit from real education.
小题2:Concrete measures should be taken to lessen the students’ heavy burden. Not empty talks but concrete and solid policies can guarantee all the students grow soundly.
小题3:My parents are farmer-turned workers. I think we should be treated equally with the local children. We should have equal chance to go to both the local public schools and take the national college entrance exam rather than go back to our native places. 
小题4:School choice has become a serious educational problem. To solve this problem, we must stick to the balanced development. The government should offer more support to weak schools and have all the teachers exchange the round hillock work among all the schools.
小题5:The government’s unwillingness to spend enough money on education makes key schools turn to parents for money to build new buildings and increase teachers’ income, widening the gap between key schools and common schools. Therefore, in order to realize the balance of education, the government should offer more help to weak schools.

下面文章中有5处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题,并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. Network.
B. Do things alone.
C. Become a local.
D. Join a gym or club.
E. Join a Business Group
F. Be polite to People You Meet
Moving to a new city can be both exciting and scary. Whether you are moving for a job, school or just to start over somewhere new, it can function as a fresh start. However, leaving behind old friends and finding new ones is not always easy. Maintaining a positive attitude and being open to new situations and people will make the adjustment easier.
小题1:________  
Trying new things will always put you in the position to run into new people. However, chances are, if you are by yourself instead of with a group of friends, other people will be more comfortable approaching you because they are less likely to feel as though they are bothering you or intruding. Go for walks by yourself, read a book in the park or have dinner at a restaurant alone. Doing things alone can also make you appear confident and interesting to others.
小题2:________  
Visit the same coffee shops or restaurants as often as possible. Talk to the employees and be friendly. Over time, the people that work there will recognize you and you can build relationships with them that way. This can also help you feel like you blend in and belong in your new neighborhood. Ask the employees for suggestions on things to do. They are great resources to find out the latest activities and events happening in your city, and they may even join you.
小题3:________   
You will not meet new people sitting in your house, so you will want to put yourself in situations with other people. Joining a gym, club or other social group can be a low pressure way to meet new people who have the same interests as you. Moving to a new city is a great time to try a new activity you are interested in, such as yoga or martial arts.
小题4:________ 
If you moved for a job or school, you will be surrounded by new people. Even if they are not necessarily the type of people you would normally be friends with, try to keep an open mind. Common interests provide the start of many wonderful friendships. Your coworkers or fellow students will likely be able to introduce you to other people you may get along with as well.
小题5:________     
Sites like Linked In and Yahoo offer several online forums (论坛) that can help expand networking opportunities. You could become friends with someone through one of the online discussions and then meet in person later. Linked In lists several groups it feels you might enjoy. Get involved with the groups that meet in person with things like business book groups, networking events, or social mixers. To join a Yahoo group, click on “groups,” then “business and finance.” Type in the name of your city in the search screen, and scroll through the list of local groups that appear.

Kids' health: Four steps for fighting stress
Everybody gets stressed from time to time. 1 Some ways of dealing with stress
- like screaming or hitting someone - don't solve(解决)much. But other ways, like talking  to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:
(1)   Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives. 2 They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.
(2)   Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don't take it out on yourself. 3
(3)   Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's time to get down to business. 4Even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.
(4)   Be positive. Most stress is temporary (暂时的). Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.
These steps aren't magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better even faster. 5
A.Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.
B. Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them.
C. Different people feel stress in different ways.
D.Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.
E.  You need to figure out what the problem is.
F.  And don't forget about your friends.
G. Then, find a way to calm down.
