20、 environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-proved statement than on the base of a closely reasoned scientific proof. Recognizing the imp
21、ortance of greenspaces in the city environment is a first step on the right way, this does not mean, however, that enough details are known about the functions of greenspace in towns and about the way in which people are using these spaces. As to this subject I shall within the scope (范圍) of this le
22、cture, enter into one aspect only, namely the recreative function of greenspace facilities. The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town and country planning, has in my opinion resulted in more attention for forms of recreation far
23、from home, while there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities
24、at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the house. The city environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more required activities can also have recreative aspect. The ve
25、ry best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in shor
26、t, if you only feel yourself at home after the street door of your house is closed after you. 50. The importance of greenspaces in the city environment _. A. is still unknown B. is paid little attention to C. is accepted on the base of scientific proof D. has been recognized 51. For many years town
27、and country planning has _. A. brought living areas and places of entertainment close together B. separated recreation facilities far from home C. improved recreative possibilities in the neighborhood D. enabled people to reach the best standard of living 52. What does the writer recommend to create
28、 a better environment?A. Providing a recreation place. B. Creating more separated greenspaceC. Owning greenspace facilities. D. Delivering a free service.53. The word “recreation” in the passage probably means _.A. activities done for pleasure or enjoyment B. doing something again in a creative way
29、C. doing something important after work D. required activities done after work 54. According to the author, greenspaces should be designed _. A. to reduce the number of recreative activities B. to attract more and more people C. for people to use more conveniently D. for people to do recreative acti
30、vities at the street door of the house55. The main idea of this passage is that _. A. attention must be paid to the improvement of recreation B. greenspace facilities should be used better to improve the quality of life C. the city environment is providing more recreative activities D.we should try
31、our best to raise our living standard (改編自“浙江省杭州二中2012屆高山上學(xué)期第一次月考英語試題第51-54) DRecently more students are choosing to study abroad as they think it is worthwhile. However, some people think it is not a good idea. There are a number of disadvantages in studying abroad. The following paragraphs will ex
32、plain why students have these views and the advantages of studying abroad will be discussed. Students studying abroad may suffer from racial discrimination(歧視). As they left their home country, they will become part of a minority group in the new country. The majority group may have a sense of super
33、iority and try to bully them. It is common that Americans or the British discriminate against people from other countries since many of them think that white people are better than others. In addition, the students may lose their own cultures. Since they have moved to a new place, all the thing ther
34、e people, lifestyle and the living environment-would be different from those in their own country. As they will have close contact with the local people and culture, they will be influenced by the new culture even without realizing it. It is ironic that a Chinese person speaks better English than Ch
35、inese and forgets about Chinese culture after studying abroad for a few years. On the other hand, studying abroad will widen the view of students. Although they may give up their own culture, they can really learn from others. As students of the modern world , they should not limit their scope to th
36、eir home country, but get exposed to the world. Studying abroad can help them expand their horizon and learn many things in the host country, as they will meet and make friends with people from all over the world. So, studying abroad is good for them. Furthermore, students will learn how to be matur
37、e and independent. Students, when in their home country, usually rely on their parents. Statistics show that Chinese students usually rely heavily on their parents; they will leave problems alone and ask their parents to solve them. If they are studying abroad, on many occasions they have to learn h
38、ow to cope with difficulties they meet. As a result, studying abroad benefits them. Moreover, the education system of the foreign country may be better than the home countrys education system. The home countrys education system is very limited. Many teachers just spoon-feed their students. They will
39、 ask the students to recite a lot of things and then ask them to write them down. This choice of subjects in school, especially in secondary school, is very narrow; the students cannot choose what they want most. But in some schools in Britain and America, students can choose from a wider range of s
40、ubjects at school. For example, media studies and corporate communications are courses of study in some schools of those two countries. If students choose to study abroad, they may have the opportunity to learn more things under a better education system. All in all, studying abroad will change and
41、influence a student in many aspects. Although it is uncertain if the effects will be positive or negative, I believe students should seize the opportunity to study abroad because they will meet many new things and have new experiences in the new country. If they are clever enough, I think they can f
42、ind a balance between learning about the new culture and holding onto their own one.56. Students studying abroad _. A. will be respected by the locals. B. will forget their ancestors. C. may be treated unfair. D. may have difficulty overcoming homesickness.57. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A.
43、The language environment will shorten the time of learning a language. B. Students studying abroad may be influenced by the new culture unknowingly. C. Studying abroad is much more comfortable than studying in your own country. D. A Chinese studying abroad only needs a few years to speak excellent E
44、nglish.58. Why can studying abroad widen the view of students? A. Because they may give up their own culture. B. Because they have to solve everything on their own. C. Because they can recite a lot of things and write them down. D. Because they can meet and make friends with people from around the w
45、orld.59. From the last paragraph, we can know that the writer _. A. agrees that students should take the opportunity to study abroad. B. thinks that the effects of studying abroad will be positive and helpful. C. has been to a foreign country to see new things and have new experience. D. has found a
46、 balance between learning about a new culture and holding onto his own.60. Which of the following can best serve as a title for this passage? A. Should students study abroad and work there? B. Should students leave their own country and study abroad? C. Should students studying abroad give up their
47、own culture? D. Should students learn how to be mature and independent?（選自“學(xué)生雙語報浙江專版高三年級第7期第56-60題）第二節(jié)：下面文章中有5處（第61-65題）需要添加小標(biāo)題。請從以下選項(xiàng)（A、B、C、D、E和F）中選出適合各段意思的小標(biāo)題，并在答題紙上將相應(yīng)選項(xiàng)的標(biāo)號涂黑。選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)是多余選項(xiàng)。A.

49、manufacturingOrganizations in all walks of life are doing more to spread their informationSo people of the Public Relations are hired to speak for themA lot of our news is actually collected from press releases and reports of events intentionally staged for journalistsIn the information age, journal
