What’s your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants?
It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer. Why? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals.
Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular festival in the UK. It began in 1970 and the first festival was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of ￡1 — the ticket included free milk from the farm.
Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength — in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying ￡112 each for a ticket to the three-day event. Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Performers
included superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone.
Although many summer festivals are run on a profit —making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities.
Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money to fight global poverty (贫穷). In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts were held simultaneously (同时) in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Superstars such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder performed in order to highlight (强调) international poverty and debt.
小题1:What does the author mean by saying “the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength”?

A．The festival has achieved growing success.

B．Great efforts have been made to hold the festival.

C．The festival has brought in a large amount of money.

D．There have been thousands of fans attending the festival.

小题2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The Glastonbury Festival is run on a profit-making basis.

B．Tickets for the 2004 Glastonbury Festival were in great demand despite the high price.

C．Both James Brown and Joss Stone were born in poor families.

D．In the 1970 Glastonbury Festival, one could have lunch on the farm for free.

小题3: We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.

A．the Glastonbury Festival is not so popular as the Live 8 concerts

B．the Live 8 concerts are held every year in London

C．London, Paris, Rome and Berlin are famous for outdoor music festivals

D．some superstars are concerned about global poverty

小题4:What is the best title for the passage?

A．How to have a good time

B．Charity events around the world

C．The Glastonbury Festival

D．Superstars’ performances in charity events

Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.
Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test --- unless the person cheats again.
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.
Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school. A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.（291 words）
小题1:Some students like cheating mainly because_________.

A．the material in the test is very difficult

B．they want to do better than the others

C．cheating can make hard things seem very easy

D．they have little time to study their lessons

小题2:We can learn from the passage______.

A．cheaters are often thought highly of

B．people show no respect for those who cheat

C．parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble

D．kids cheat in the test because of swim practice

小题3:In the passage those cheaters are advised to_______.

A．spend more time on school than on sports

B．find good solutions instead of cheating

C．try hard to be intelligent rather than lazy

D．ask their classmates for good methods of study

科目：高中英语 来源：不详 题型：阅读理解

What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is time the same all over the world?
That's an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource. Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression, "Time is money."
Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to conserve and manage it. People in the U.S. often attend seminars or read books on time management. It seems they all want to organize their time better. Professionals carry around pocket planners -- some in electronic form -- to keep track of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to squeeze more time out of their time. The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed this view best: "Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of."
To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology and an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation is, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time.
To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in other cultures value relationships more than schedules. In these societies, people don't try to control time, but to experience it. Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time -- like money -- slips all too easily through our fingers. And time -- like the weather-- is very hard to predict. Nevertheless, time is one of life's most precious gifts. And unwrapping it is half the fun.
小题1:What’s the main topic of this passage?

A．What is time?

B．How to control time?

C．Make good use of time.

D．Time among Americans.

小题2:What’s the meaning of the underlined word “conserve”?

A．protect

B．develop

C．produce

D．assist

小题3:The sentence “Americans seem tied to the clock” probably means __________.

A．Americans often carry a clock with them.

B．Americans can not predict the time.

C．Americans can take control over time.

D．Americans often make full use of time.

小题4:We can safely draw a conclusion from this passage that _________________.

A．Americans have more time than others.

B．by using pocket planners, people can have more time.

C．for informal meeting, Americans often arrive 30 minutes earlier.

D．Americans often attend seminars, because they want to use time better.

Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, cannot teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize (记住) some facts or a formula (公式). It is usually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didn’t get everything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. Above all, they knew how to use their brains.
小题1: Whether he is more ________or less, a teacher can’t teach his students everything they want to know.

A．important

B．useful

C．difficulty

D．knowledgeable (有知识的)

小题2:A teacher’s job is mainly to train his students to master the ability of __________.

A．learning by themselves	B．making a living
C．reading and thinking	D．studying all the subjects

小题3: The reason for scientists’ success is that _______.

A．they read books that were not taught at school	B．they worked all their lives
C．they wasted not a single moment	D．they knew how to use their brains
