What do you do if you're stranded(處于困境的)on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.
  Body signals(信號(hào))
  Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend(彎曲)your knees. If you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.
  Smoke signals
  The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn't hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you're sure that it can't spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.
  Ground-to-air signals
  It's a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols(標(biāo)記). If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:
  F "I need food and water."
  II "I need medicine."
  I "I am badly hurt."
  X" I am unable to move from here."
  Pilots' replies
  If the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means "message received and understood". (At night, the pilot flashes the plane's green lights.) If the pilots flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received but not understood".(At night, the pilot flashes the plane's red lights.)
However, there is no signal which means "message not received". Why not?
小題1: Which picture means "it's not safe land"?

 
小題2: What can we learn from the passage?
A.Swinging your arm from side to side means "yes".
B.If the ground is dark, light smoke can't be seen.
C.If you need some medicine, make a symbol "II".
D.The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.
  小題3: What is the passage mainly about?
A.The explanation of building signals on an island.
B.The importance of making signals on an island.
C.Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.
D.Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island

小題1:D
小題1:C
小題1:C

小題1:細(xì)節(jié)題。關(guān)鍵在定位。從選項(xiàng)的圖像來看全部是人在做什么什么動(dòng)作,所以可以推測(cè)出答案在body signals這一段找。再通過小技巧-中文出現(xiàn)部分設(shè)題概率高,快速看到body signals部分的中文bend(彎曲),"彎曲"存在的這一句是if you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, 而題目要求是"it's not safe to land",所以可以推出答案在下一句中找"if you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side."所以答案選D。
 小題1:細(xì)節(jié)題。定位找答案。A選項(xiàng)swinging your arm可看出還是body signals 處找答案。第二排出現(xiàn):when you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes."對(duì)比選項(xiàng),選項(xiàng)中說"from side to side"從一邊到另一邊,而up and down 指的是上上下下,所以A選項(xiàng)不對(duì)。B選項(xiàng)出現(xiàn)關(guān)鍵詞"light smoke"所以可以知道答案在smoke signals中找,在本段倒數(shù)第二句"if the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily."所以B選項(xiàng)屬于相反選項(xiàng)設(shè)計(jì)。C選項(xiàng)的關(guān)鍵詞是"II",文中表示"I need medicine."所以C選項(xiàng)為正確答案。D選項(xiàng)關(guān)鍵詞"pilots make replies"所以答案在pilots' replies出找,本段最后一句話:at night, the pilot flashes the plane's red lights.所以D也不對(duì)。
小題1:主旨題。A為在島嶼上建筑標(biāo)志的解釋,為無關(guān)選項(xiàng)。B所在島上做標(biāo)記的重要性,也是無關(guān)選項(xiàng)。C說在孤島上發(fā)送信號(hào)的方式。D是從孤島上接受信號(hào)的方式。某種意義上說C,D是完全相反選項(xiàng)。答案是C.文中敘述的都是如何通知Pilots自己在孤島上。

When you cough or sneeze, please turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. Afterwards, you should say,” Excuse me.” This is a rule I set for my students
It is so simple, but many kinds have never been told to do this. In fact, I notice adults cough and sneeze in public without putting a hand over the mouth. I hate traveling by subway(地鐵) in New York during cold and flu season, because it is certain that someone is going to stand right behind me and cough or sneeze on my neck.
One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hand, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be passing those germs(病菌) along to everything and everyone they touch.
In order to help the kids remember this rule, I tell them about an old story. It says that when you sneeze, evil spirits jump into your body. If you don’t cover your mouth, the spirits will enter, but if you cover your mouth, you will keep them out, We say “God bless you” when someone sneezes, and in Germany you should say “Gesundheit”. That means “Good health to you. “ Both expressions are said just in case you didn’t cover your mouth in time and the spirits were able to enter your body. The kids love finding out the origins(起源) of these expressions and it encourage them to put the advice to use more often.

Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches along the highway I travel daily to work.
There are some particular blue flowers that have always caught my eye. I’ve noticed that they bloom only in the morning hours and the afternoon sun is too warm for them. Every day for about two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.
This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I’ve often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Every day I drove past the flowers thinking, “I’ll stop on my way home and dig them.” “Gee, I don’t want to get my good clothes dirty…” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel(鏟子)one year in my car to be used for that expressed purpose.
One day on my way home from work, I was shocked to see that the highway department had destroyed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.” A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister has a terminal brain tumor(腫瘤). She is 20 years older than me and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven’t been as close as we all would have liked. I couldn’t help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us. 
And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I’ll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.
小題1: Why did those flowers the writer saw only bloom in the morning?
A.Because it was hot in the afternoon.
B.Because someone picked them away.
C.Because someone took them into houses.
D.Because the writer passed them in the morning.
小題2: Which of the following statements is right according to the passage?
A.The writer’s sister died of lung tumor.
B.The writer was regretful when she heard her sister’s death.
C.The writer planned to dig the flowers to give them to her husband.
D.The writer’s husband planned to plant some flowers in the garden.
小題3: The writer wrote the passage to tell us ________.
A.to enjoy what we have now
B.to value now and not to lose chances
C.to protect the beautiful flowers we see
D.to love those who are your close relatives
