My first trip to Greece took place in the
高中英语必修第一册(人教版)
1960s.There I accepted a challenge to hitch-
hike(搭便车)with a group of English
friends from my university in Birmingham to
Athens with little money.For me,a 20-year-
old girl,I had not done anything like this be-
fore.It was so hard on the road.We slept in
the open air,ate little more than bread and
cheese,and depended heavily on the help of
strangers.But it helped me learn about Euro-
pean society.
One day,my Greek friend came to see
me at the youth hostel and asked me to step
outside.He was angry with me.He reminded
me of my social background and asked what
my parents would say if they saw me living in
these conditions like these“dirty'”English
After several weeks on the road,we did look
tired;but his choice of the word“dirty”in-
terested me.He was showing a historic dislike
of the English that some Europeans had.In
that part of Europe,both the Turks and the
Greeks,who dislike each other to this day,
blamed(责怪)the English for their national
disasters.He ignored my explanations of having
accepted the challenge of hitchhiking.He took
me home and his family,especially his mother
and sisters,showed me Greek hospitality
客)at its best,.
My experience in Greece could not have
differed more from the situation facing Pak-
istanis-and others seeking shelter-in Greece
today.On recent visits to Greece in connection
with my study on Islam in Europe,I saw the
trouble of the refugees(难民).Some said
that they had been physically beaten.Howev-
er,there are good stories of ordinary Greeks
giving shelter to some hopeless refugees.The
sense of Greek hospitality that I experienced
as a student does exist.
(
)24.What was the author's purpose of
taking a trip to Greece in the
1960s?
A.To visit a friend in Greece.
B.To complete a challenge brave-
ly.
C.To learn how to hitchhike to oth-
er countries.
D.To increase her knowledge about
European society.
(
)25.What did the author find during
her recent visits to Greece?
A.Many Greeks lived a very bad
life
B.The country hadn't changed
much.
C.Some refugees were badly treat-
ed.
D.Many people were leaving the
country.
)26.What does the author want to show
by giving the example in the last
paragraph?
A.Many Greek people still love
helping others.
B.Many people in Greece need
help.
C.Greece is a safe country for
refugees.
D.Helping others is very impor-
tant.
()27.What can we learn from the story?
A.The girl had much money when
she traveled.
B.She had no hitchhike experi-
ence before she went to Greece.
C.Her friend's family didn't wel-
come her.
D.The sense of Greek hospitality
that she experienced as a stu-
dent doesn't exist.

Monaco doesn't spend her summers doing
the usual teenage work,like working at the
mall.Instead,she's studying.
It used to be that a summer job was
considered a teenage thing.Today,Monaco,
who has never had a summer job,is part of
growing trend(趋势)teenagers concentrating
on their studies,even during the summer.
That's down from 72%of Americans aged 16
to 19 who worked in July of 1978,according
to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Increased competition,older workers
returning to the workforce and weak economic
growth are all contributing to the decline of
teenagers in the workforce.But as schoolwork
grows increasingly intense and homework eats
up more time,data suggest the biggest reason
why some teens won't be working this summer
初高中衔接检测卷。
is that they simply don't have time.
For college-bound teens,some teachers
even advise students not to waste time on a
summer job."Some of my students only have
about six weeks off in the summer,"said
Shannon Reed,a lecturer at the University of
Pittsburgh and a former high school English
teacher."I could never advise that they get
jobs during that short break.They should
rest.”
Young people who don't work may miss
out on valuable skills that they'll need later in
life.Early work experiences teach reliability,
financial intelligence,self-control and help
people learn to deal with adult situations.But
Monaco,who plans to attend Harvard,isn't
fazed by her lack of work experience."Maybe
I have missed out on a couple of life skills,"
she said."But I don't think it will harm me in
any way."
()28.According to the US Bureau of
Labor Statistics,what is the trend
of American teenagers?
A.They are becoming lazy.
B.They are becoming keen on
doing holiday jobs.
C.They are focusing more on
studies than on jobs
D.They are becoming particular
about holiday jobs.
()29.Why do you think teenagers will
quit work during summer?
A.They need do more schoolwork

and homework
B.They face the fierce competi-
tion.
C.The structure of America's work-
force.
D.The effects of America's eco-
nomic decline.
()30.What's Shannon Reed's attitude
towards the new trend?
A.Indifferent.
B.Nervous.
C.Frightened.
D.Supportive.
()31.What does the underlined word
"fazed"in the last paragraph mean?
A.Motivated.
B.Bothered.
C.Helped.
D.Confused.

Who is a genius?This question has great-
ly interested humankind for centuries
Let's state clearly:Einstein was a genius.
His face is almost the international symbol for
genius.But we want to go beyond one man
and explore the nature of genius itself.Why is
it that some people are so much more intelli-
gent or creative than the rest of us?And who
are they?
In the sciences and arts,those praised as
geniuses were most often white men,of Euro-
pean origin.Perhaps this is not a surprise.It's
said that history is written by the victors,and
those victors set the standards for admission to
the genius club.When contributions were
made by geniuses outside the club-women,
or people of a different color or belief-they
were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science
found that as young as age six,girls are less
likely than boys to say that members of their
gender(性别)are“really,really smart'”.
Even worse,the study found that girls act on
that belief:Around age six they start to avoid
activities said to be for children who are "re-
ally,really smart".Can our planet afford to
have any great thinkers become discouraged
and give up?It doesn't take a genius to know
the answer:absolutely not.
Here's the good news.In a wired world
with constant global communication,we're all
positioned to see flashes of genius wherever
they appear.And the more we look,the more
we will see that social factors(因素)like
gender,race,and class do not determine the
appearance of genius.As a writer says,future
geniuses come from those with "intelligence,
creativity,.perseverance(毅力),and simple
good fortune,who are able to change the
world..”
()32.What does the author think of
victors'standards for joining the
genius club?
A.They're unfair.
B.They're conservative.
C.They're objective.
D.They're strict.
()33.What can we infer about girls from
the study in Science?
A.They think themselves smart.
B.They look up to great thinkers.
C.They see gender differences ear-
lier than boys.
D.They are likely to be influenced
by social beliefs.
()34.Why are more geniuses known to
the public?
A.Improved global communica-
tion.
B.Less discrimination against
women.
C.Acceptance of victors'con-
cepts.
D.Changes in people's social
positions.
()35.What is the best title for the text?
A.Geniuses Think Alike
B.Genius Takes Many Forms
C.Genius and Intelligence
D.Genius and Luck

The process of becoming independent is
not the same for everyone.Some attain it
much younger in life than others.Nonetheless,
we are told that becoming independent is very
important,but why is it?
初高中衔接检测卷
Being independent improves your confi-
dence.
36.
Having confidence gives you
a positive outlook on life.You are going to be
willing to do things on your own,without
needing support or approval from others.
37.
This becomes self-fulfilling,for
the more experiences you have,the more your
confidence will grow,and the greater will be
your chances of big rewards for your efforts.
38.
Being mature enables you to handle your
emotions without help from others.There will
be many challenging situations throughout our
lives.Keeping our emotions from dominating
our lives is essential.Knowing that our
emotions are under control brings a sense of
pleasure and calm.Stress is reduced,and we
become happier.There are many techniques
that can be used to help us control our
emotions.39.
Independence leads to broader horizons.
Once you become independent from
limits placed on you by others,you can
broaden your horizons.You will be able to
take trips to different destinations,meet people
with different social and moral beliefs,and
gain more knowledge.40.
It might
affect the way you approach decision-making.
In this way,independence can prevent you
from adopting a narrow mindset.You will
welcome adventure and see the rewards of
taking risks.

"I don't think anyone is going to send
you money,Jessica,people just aren't that
kind,"said my mother.I was shocked by such
a comment."But you're wrong.People are
kind,and they will be generous enough to
send me money,"I argued.
Last fall,I sent 200 letters to businesses,
doctors and friends asking for sponsorship
so I could attend the National Youth
Leadership Forum on Medicine.Everyone
doubted my efforts,and I heard every excuse
why people would be too busy to help me.
"These people don't even know you.Do you
honestly think a stranger will send you mo-
ney?”asked my friends.“Why put yourself
through all this disappointment.Just forget it,"
said my grandfather.I decided not to listen.
The best thing I could do was attend the Fo-
rum and learn more about my future career.
I waited weeks for my first response,
which came from a bank.“Dear Jessica,”it
read."At this time,our bank does not offer
aid to students,but we wish you luck and
success in your project."My heart sank.I was
rejected.I looked at my grandpa.“Well?”he
asked.He should have been able to tell from
my disappointed face.“Here,”I said,asI
handed him the letter and locked myself in my
room.But then I realized what I was doing.
It's only one rejection,I thought.Cheer up.
You will receive a letter with a check in it.
