河北省武邑中学2015届高考英语一轮复习第19期55分钟课堂练习第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）ATaking exams in a large group setting can bestressful for students and for the staff members who arewatching over them. When classrooms are crowded and desksare close together, cheating might be tempting.One university in Thailand came up with ananti-cheating hat that makes it almost impossible forstudents to see other students’ papers. A photo of thestudents wearing the anti-cheating hats made its way tothe Internet, and the university was criticized formaking students wear those ridiculous looking homemade hats. The hats were made by stapling two pieces of paper onto a headband, one to each side of the head.After being criticized, senior academic staff at Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, released a statement saying that the hats idea came from students. They said that in a bid to prevent cheating they asked the students for ideas on how to prevent cheating in the upcoming exam, which was being taken by almost one hundred students. Students came up with different ideas, and then the paper hat idea was selected by them as the most fit. The university claims that no one was forced to use the hat, but they all chose to do so. “When wearing the hat during the exam, students felt more relaxed,” Nattadon Rungruangkitkrai, a lecturer at the university said. “It was not meant to indicate that Kasetsart students often cheat on exams. I apologize if the photo makes other people look at my stu dents in a negative way,” Rungruangkitkrai added.21. Why was the university criticized on the Internet?A. Wearing the anti-cheating hat made students look ridiculous.B. The homemade anti-cheating hat looked too simple.C. Wearing the anti-cheating hats couldn’t prevent students from cheating in the exam.D. The university forced students to wear the anti-cheating hat.22. What’s most of the Kasetsart University students’ attitude towards the cheating hat?A. SkepticalB. SupportiveC. ObjectiveD. Negative23. It can be inferred from the passage that_______A. it’s useless wearing the anti-cheating hat in the exam.B. Kasetsart students are often caught cheating in the exam.C. wearing the anti-cheating hat is effective to some degree.D. some students are forced to wear the anti-cheating hat.BItaly is one country where beauty is prized more than any other virtue. That is, except in the small town of Piobbico, the self-declared World Capital of Ugly People. The road sign at the edge of the town even warns visitors that they are entering the ugly zone. People who consider themselves ugly have been gathering in Piobbico since the 1960s. That’s whenUgly Club president Telesforo Lacobelli established a dating agency for women who believed they were too ugly to attract husbands. Lacobelli believes that he is ugly himself because he has a short nose in a country where long or large noses have always been considered beautiful.People from around the world travel to Piobbico to tell their sad stories of ugliness. During the annual Festival of the Ugly, which occurs on the first Sunday of every September, hundreds of people gather in Piobbico’s town square to elect the president of the Ugly Club. Lacobelli wins the election every year. The Ugly Club has over 20, 000 members. They carry ID cards that grade their ugliness from bearable to extreme. A prize is awarded to Ugly Club members who qualify as extremely ugly.The Ugly Club president insists that ugliness is a virtue. Since beautiful people get a lot of attention for their beauty alone, they have to work hard to prove their other virtues. Ugly people, on the other hand, are genuine and do not have to prove anything to anybody, according to Lacobelli.Lacobelli is a spokesperson for ugly people everywhere. He believes that the uglier one is, the better life can be. Though the club enjoys making fun of beauty, especially beauty contests, Lacobelli has a serious side as well. He believes that too many people suffer from financial and emotional press ures because they don’t meet society’s standards of beauty. The fact that beautiful people are more successful in the workforce is a problem that Lacobelli has attempted to bring forward to the Italian public and government.24.Piobbico is rather special in that .A. it is a very small townB. it is home to ugly peopleC. it receives no visitorsD. it is the capital of Italy25. Why is Lacobelli elected the president of the Ugly Club every year?A. Because he is the ugliest person in the whole world.B. Because his ugliness is always graded as bearable.C. Because he is a spokesperson for ugly people everywhere.D. Because he has won the members’ trust and admiration.26. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Ugly people are most respected in Italy.B. The Festival of the Ugly is held every two years.C. Ugly people are unfairly treated in society.D. The uglier one is, the better life he or she lives.27.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Ugly Capital of the WorldB. The Ugliest Person of the WorldC. Festival of the UglyD. Beauty Contests Should be BannedCTeaching is more than leadership. Some of the teacher’s time and eff ort is directed toward instruction, some toward evaluation. But it is the teacher as a group leader who creates an effective organizational structure and good working environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place. A group that is totally disorganized, unclear about its goals, or constantly fighting among its members will not be a good learninggroup. The leadership pattern includes helping to form and maintain a positive learning environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place.On the first day of class, the teacher faces a room filled with individuals. Perhaps a few closely united groups and friendships already exist. But there is no sense of group unity, no set of rules for conduct in the group, no feeling of belonging. If teachers are successful leaders, they will help students develop a system of relationships that encourages working together.Standards and rules must be set to keep order, make sure of justice and protect individual rights, but do not c ontradict school policy. What happens when one student hurts another’s individual rights? Without clear regulations agreeable to the students and teachers, the classroom can become chaotic. Students may break rules they did not know existed. If standards are set without participation from the class, students may spend a great deal of creative energy in destroying the class environment or finding ways to break rules.No matter how skillful the teacher is in uniting students and creating a positive atmosphere, the task is never complete. Regular maintenance is necessary. Conflicts arise. The needs of individual members change. A new kind of learning task requires a new organizational structure. Sometimes outside pressures such as holidays, upcoming tests or sport competitions, or family troubles cause stress in the classroom. One task for the teacher is to recreate a positive environment by helping students deal with conflict, change, and stress.28. The underlined word “maintain” in Para.1 probably means_______.A. keepB. buildC. recreateD. evaluate29. According to the author, the teacher should _______.A. free students from outside pressuresB. set the standards and rules on his ownC. be responsible for a well-organized classD. focus more on instruction and evaluation30. From the passage we can learn that ______.A. rules cannot be changed once they’re formedB. outside pressures can not cause tension among studentsC. if the teacher well unites his students, he then will finish his taskD. if rules are not acceptable both to students and teachers, the classroom can be a mess31. What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?A. To provide information for teaching.B. To show the importance of teaching a class.C. To study the teacher’s behavior in the classroom.D. To compare the teacher’s behavior with the students’ in class.DIf your preschoolers turn up their noses at carrots or celery, a small reward like a sticker(贴画) for taking even a taste may help get them to eat previously disliked foods, a UK study said.Though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young children to eat their vegetables, the idea is actually controversial, researchers wrote in the American Journalof Clinical Nutrition. That’s because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked, said Jane Wardle, a researcher at University College London who worked on the study. Verbal praise, such as “Brilliant! You’re a great vegetable taster”, did not work as well.The study found that when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a “tiny taste” of a disliked vegetable, it gradually changed their attitu des. The children were also willing to eat more of the vegetables—either carrots, celery, cucumber, red pepper, cabbage or sugar snap peas—in laboratory taste tests, the study said.Researchers randomly assigned (分派) 173 families to one of these groups. In one, parents used stickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable. A second group of parents used verbal praise. The third group, where Parents used no special vegetable-promoting methods, served as a “control”.Parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the “target” vegetable every day for 12 days. Soon after, children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables—and were willing to eat more in the research lab, going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12-day experience. The turnaround(转机) also seemed to last, with preschoolers in the sticker group still willing to eat more of the once-disliked vegetable three months later.Why didn’t the verbal praise work? Wardle said the parents’ words may have seemed “insincere” to their children.32. The purpose of writing the passage is .A. to show the procedure of an experiment on children’s dietB. to introduce a practical method of making children eat vegetablesC. to explain why children hate to eat vegetablesD. to present a proper way of verbal praise to parents33. The underlined word “backfire” in Paragraph 2probably means “_______”.A. shoot from behind the backB. make a fire in the backyardC. produce an unexpected resultD. achieve what was planned34. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Most children are born to dislike carrots or celery.B. Children in the sticker group will never lose interest in eating vegetables.C. Oral praise works quite well in encouraging children to eat vegetables.D. It remains a question whether rewarding is a good way to get children to eat vegetables.35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Children like rewards, not verbal praise.B. Parents should give up verbal praise.C. Children are difficult to inspire.D. Parents should praise their children in a sincere tone.EThe Importance of Accessibility AwarenessAt a recent Teen Leadership of Jewish Family Services meeting, people with disabilities talked about their lives. 36 However, what amazed me most was the great importance of education about handicap accommodations (残疾人便利设施).One school-teacher who is blind, and a woman who has used a wheelchair all her life are two important members of the National Group for Disabled Persons, devoted to raising awareness about disabilities. 37 These include handicap parking spots, handrails, and wheelchair ramps. One big concern is the people who take advantage of aids, such as handicap parking spaces. 38 And the meeting focused on educating the public.Some handicap spots have extra room next to them, marked with the “No Parking” signs. “As long as I'm not in the spot, I can take the no-parking area next to it,” some people say. However, the woman who uses a wheelchair disagrees to this. The space exists to allow someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of their car. 39 Some walkways have handrails next to them to help those who require extra assistance. Whether it is a blind person seeking guidance or an elderly person seeking support, the rail is there for walking. Sometimes the rail is blocked, by a parked bicycle for instance, and consequently made useless. 40 People who are informed of the rail’s use would be less likely to mistake it for a bike rack.Meeting some of the people who are affected by the lack of education about accommodations made me see that there is work to be done. If more people were educated about the proper uses of accommodations, there would be fewer challenges for people with physical disabilities.A. Accommodations will vary according to the needs of the disabled.B. As with the parking spot, this is more likely a case of lack of education.C. They educate about all the accommodations for people with disabilities.D. Improvement must be made so that disabled people can fully participate.E. If there is a car in that space, the handicap parking spot is no longer useful.F. So people without disabilities need to be educated about these accommodations.G. I was amazed to hear about the challenges faced by people with physical disabilities. 第二部分完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）America’s Beauty Is in Its DiversityAmerica is built on the idea of freedom, and there is no exception for Muslim women.I 41 the freedom of religion and speech.

I was 50 about what the kids would say or even do to me. I thought they might make fun of me, or 51 be scared of me and 52 my headscarf. Kids at that age usually like to be all the same, and there’s little or no 53 of differences.On the first day of school, I put all those 54 thoughts behind my back and walked in with my head held high. I was holding my breath a little, but 55 I was also proud to be a Muslim, proud to be wearing the hijab, proud to be different.I was 56 about everything I thought the kids would say or even do to me. I actually met a lot of people because of wearing my head covering. Most of the kids would come and ask me questions — 57 — about the hijab and why I wore it.I did hear some kids were making fun of me, 58 there was one girl----she wasn’t even in my class, and we never really talked much---and she spoke 59 me, and I wasn’t even there!

We're delighted to welcome today a representative from the Red Cross, Mr John Francis, who is going to talk to us about the work of the organisation and about some basic aspects of First Aid.M: Thank you, Mrs Brown. Well, I'm pleased to tell you something about this organisation.The Red Cross movement was started by a businessman called Jean Henri Dunant. His interest in the innocent people caught up in war began in 1859 when he witnessed the effects ofa very fierce battle in Italy. At the time, he organised all the villagers to help thewounded soldiers and make sure they had food and basic medical attention. In 1864, the same gentleman, together with four Swiss colleagues from his hometown, organised a conference which laid the foundations for the now famous organisation.So that Red Cross workers could always be recognised, they created their own symbol. They chose a red cross on a white background. It is protected by the laws. Sometimes we find that the red cross has been used as a decorative symbol or to represent first aid stations but this is actually wrong because using the red cross for anything other than the international organisation is actually against the law. Even though we often associate a red cross with hospitals and medical treatment. In Australia, as in many countries, the recognised symbol for first aid and medical centres, in fact, is a white cross on a green background.- 11 -。

河北省武邑中学2015届高考英语一轮复习第2期55分钟课堂练习第一节：完形填空There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people 36 to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you 37 is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you 38 others. Because while there will be times 39 outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely 40 . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are 41 . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision 42 anyway.You were 43 with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and 44 the appropriate actions, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone against your own 45 .Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of 46 a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the 47 necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to 48 on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being 49 to Wall Street, I intended to assume that my more senior 50 knew more than I did, and so I 51 too much significance to their opinions.You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in 52 . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by 53 and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions.

Animals do what they are told, there is no disease, and lending folks a helping hand makes you richer and wiser. Welcome to FarmVille — current population 69m and rising fast.“It reminds me of my childhood,” says one player, Lia Curran, 37, a chemist from London. “Right now I’m growing wheat and poinsettia, I’ve got a small orchard, and I’m keeping some chickens and some cows. I like having the animals. It’s comfortable.”Curran’s young animals, howev er, are nothing more than a collection of computer-controlled cartoons. FarmVille is an online computer game built into the social networking site Facebook and is described by its players as “addictive”. Launched last June by Zynga Game Network, FarmVille now has more players than Twiter’s entire user base — or more than the population of the UK. The players are largely women over the age of 35.Jenny Glyn, 33, a London housewife, started playing in September. “I had a look at a friend’s farm and was hooked,” she says. “My first motivation was to overtake her, but I did that pretty quickly. Now there’s something satisfying about growing crops.”FarmVille intellectually unites the worlds of social networking and gaming. Players are given a patch of ground wit h six fields, “cash”, a few seeds and a plough and have to build up wealth, skills and neighbors to create bigger, better, richer farms.Inviting your online friends to play means you earn more and get free gifts; you rise rapidly through the first levels but, once hooked, have to work harder and harder with no final level or goal in sight.“It’s very moreish,” says Curran. She hasn’t yet paid real-world money to advance in the game, but her friends do. One buys extra virtual currency at the exchange rate of $240 (£145) in FarmVille for $40 (£24) in the real world.“I’d expanded on FarmVille as much as I could, but I just wanted a pond and some bushes and trees around it,” says the woman, who is too embarrassed to be named. “I didn’t tell my husband I’d paid real money because he’d think I’m mad. But then he did keep me waiting in the car outside our house while he harvested his raspberries.”Brian Dudley, chief executive at Broadway Lodge, an addiction treatment centre, warns that this sort of obsessive(令人着魔的) play can lead to an addiction as severe as gambling.56.

Once hooked, one has to make greater efforts to reach a higher level.D. Up till now, nobody has yet paid real-world money to advance in the playBA new study links heavy air pollution from coal burning to shorter lives in northern China.Researchers estimate that the half-billion people alive there in the 1990s will live an average of 5years less than their southern counterparts because they breathed dirtier air.China itself made the comparison possible: for decades, a now-discontinued government policy provided free coal for heating, but only in the colder north. Researchers found significant differences in both particulate pollution of the air and life expectancy in the two regions.While previous studies have found that pollution affects human health, "the deeper and ultimately more important question is the impact on life expectancy," said one of the researchers, Michael Greenstone, a professor of environmental economics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology."This study provides a unique setting to answer the life expectancy question because the (heating) policy dramatically changes pollution concentrations（含量）Greenstone said in an email. "Further, due to the low rates of migration in China in this period, we can know people's exposure over long time periods," he said.The policy gave free coal for fuel boilers to heat homes and offices to cities north of the Huai Riv which divides China into north and south. It was in effect for much of the 1950-1980 period of central planning, and, though discontinued after 1980, it has left a legacy（遗留）in the north of heavy coal burning, which releases particulate pollutants into the air that can harm human health. Researchers found no other government policies that treated China's north differently from the south.The researchers collected data for 90 cities, from 1981 to 2000, on the annual daily average concentration of total suspended（悬浮的）particulates. In China, those are considered to be particulates that are 100 micrometers or less in diameter, sent out from sources including power stations, construction sites and vehicles. Among them, PM2.5 is of especially great health concern because it can go deep into the lungs.The researchers estimated the impact on life expectancies using death data from 1991-2000．They found that in the north, the concentration of particulates was 184 micrograms per cubic meter一or 55 percent higher than in the south, and life expectancies were 5.5 years lower on average across all age ranges.60. The main idea of this passage is that＿A. research in China finds air pollution shortened life expectancyB the government provided free coal for heating in North ChinaC coal burning causes bad air quality across ChinaD. a new study finds different particulates in South China61．According to Greenstone,＿greatly contributed to the high pollution concentrations i n North China.A. power stationsB. construction sitesC. the free heating policyD. gases fromvehicles62．It is implied in the passage that＿·A. coal is no longer used for heating in North ChinaB air quality was comparatively better in South ChinaC. southerners burned coals for heating in the 1980sD people preferred to live in South China after 198063．The underlined word "particulates" most probably means＿．A. dirty cloudsB. particular smokeC. harmful dustD. dangerous bacteriaCBeing honest are fundamental requirements if you want to grow spiritually and follow your true destination of personal development. It's not simply about being honest with people. While that will make you a better person and a more accepted one it's more importantly about being honest with yourself.Living your life honestly means that you've decided to live openly and to show your true self to others and that you can be relied upon to be trustworthy. On the other hand, dishonesty is all about shade and concealment and living your life in 'dark corners'. When you're dishonest, it means that you remain living in the dark and cannot grow spiritually. Honesty produces trust-trust in ourselves and in all those around us. Trust in turn produces confidence which we all need to overcome life's problems and which also encourages us to take risks in order to achieve our goals.You'll have no doubt heard expressions such as "what goes around, comes around" and "you get back, what you give out in life" and that's very true. If you don't live your lives honestly, you can be assured that the people you'll attract will turn out to be very similar to you and it's therefore unavoidable that one day you'11 be on the receiving end of someone's dishonest actions or words.There may be situations where telling the whole truth causes you to bring a lot of pain on somebody else. For example, John may have told Paul that he can't go on a weekend fishing trip with him because he has a family commitment arranged that weekend. You know differently and that the real reason John isn't going is because he hates Paul. When Paul asks you if you know whether the reason is true, what do you say? Well, in situations like this, it's often better to be economical(经济的) with the truth. You might say that you don't know why John can't go or that you think he has something on that weekend." Of course, this isn't telling the complete truth but you are sparing Paul's feelings on something that won't, after all, have strong influence on Paul's future.64. If you want to grow spiritually, it is best for you to______.A. follow your destinationB. be true to yourselfC. plan your personal developmentD. accept honest people as ends65. What does a dishonest man probably do?A. He keeps all his things secret.B. He doesn't want to be trustworthy.C. He depends much on others.D. He stops growing any taller.66. The passage tells us that if you choose to live a dishonest life, you will_____.A. suffer from dishonestyB. become very attractiveC. influence honest peopleD. have attractive friends67 The example in the last paragraph is used to prove that______.A. we should always tell the truthB. John is not a trustworthy personC. telling lies causes pain on someone elseD. sometimes we can't be completely honest68. What is the main idea of the passage?A. We should be economical with the truth.B. People can gain from dishonesty.C. Honesty helps you develop.D. Trust produces confidence.DIt is one of the most annoying words in the English language and it seems there is no escaping i t. The word “huh?” is in worldwide use, a study found.Researchers discovered that languages spoken in countries from Ghana and Laos to Iceland and Italy all include “huh?”, or something that sounds very like it. They said that while the study may sound silly, the word is an absolutely necessary part of speech. Without it and similar words, it would be impossible to show that we haven’t heard or understood what had been said and this would lead to constant misunderstandings.But while other words used in the same context, such as “sorry” or “what”, vary wid ely across languages, “huh?” remains unchanged.The Dutch researchers carefully studied ten languages from around the world, including Siwu, which is spoken in Ghana, and an Australian Aboriginal language, as well as Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Mandarin Chinese.They analysed tapes of recorded conversations for words that sounded like “huh?” and were used to request that whatever had just been said be repeated. All contained a version of “huh?”. The word was also found in another 21 languages. While the re were subtle differences in each country, all sounded basically the same.This is surprising because normally unrelated languages will use very different words to describe the same thing. For instance, the Japanese for “dog” is “inu”, while the French is “chien”. It is thought that languages around the world have developed their own version of “huh?” because the sound is quick and simple to form, as well as being easily understood.The researchers, said that it might seem unimportant to carry out scientific research into a word like “huh?” but in fact this little word is an essential tool in human communication. They also have an answer for those who claim that “huh?” isn’t a word. They say that it qualifies because of the small differences in its pronunciation in different languages. It also can be considered a word because it’s something we learn to say, rather than a grunt or cry that we are born knowing how to make.69.According to researchers, the word “huh?” is very important in speech because of ________.A. its stable meaning in language developmentB. its important function in communicationC. its simple and easy sound and spellingD. its popularity in every language70. What is the natural response if you hear the lady you’re speaking to say “huh?”?A. You should ask her to repeat what she says before that.B. You should apologize to her for speaking in a low voice.C. You should invite her to share her different views politely.D. You should try to repeat what you’ve just said in a clearer way.71. The main method used in the research of “huh?” was ________.A. interviewing language experts in universitiesB. talking with people from ten different countriesC. analyzing the recorded conversations in different languagesD. comparing different words with the same meaning in different languages72. According to researchers, “huh?” should be considered a word rather than a sound because ________.A. it is listed in most dictionariesB. it is something humans learn to sayC. there is a clear and consistent spelling of the wordD. there is a big difference in the way it pronounces in different languages73.. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To inform readers about research on the worldwide used word “huh?”.B. To argue that “huh?” is the most important word in every lan guage.C. To entertain readers by relating similar idioms in different languages.D. To instruct readers of the differences of “huh?” in different languages.七选五Making Peace with Your ParentsAs a teen, you’re going through big changes physically an d mentally. Your interests are expanding. _73__Here is the challenge：Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that all out in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can’t be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents all not angry, tired, distracted,or hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation--for now. ___74_______ Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening. ___75____Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others’ feelings cal l disagree without things getting ugly.____76_____ How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you’re going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers--they’re interesting people who like to watch movies. And go shopping--just like their teenagers!What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky? ___77_______You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.Remember you can only change your own behavior.

The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation(开发) brings to such landscapes(景观) is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need—the rain forests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr.Sauven, these ”ecosystem services” far outweigh the gains from exploitation.Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.I look forwards to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants. One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.24. John Sauven holds that_____.A. many people value nature too muchB. exploitation of wildernesses is harmfulC. wildernesses provide humans with necessities.D. the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong25. What is the main idea of Para. 3?A. The exploitation is necessary for the poor people.B. Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials.C. Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation.D. All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.26. What is the autho r’s attitude towards this debate?A. Objective.B. Disapproving.C. Sceptical.D. Optimistic.27. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: ConclusionCWelcome to Adventureland!Everyone loves Adventureland!

Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping(录像) the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make. Thatcan have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings(兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child.” There is, however, one thi ng that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”31．The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to _________.A．show the relationship between parents and childrenB．teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner tableC．report on the findings of a studyD．give information about family problems32．Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because ____________.A．they are busy serving food to their childrenB．they are busy keeping order at the dinner tableC．they have to pay more attention to younger childrenD．they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family33．By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children _________.A．have to help their parents to serve dinner B．get the least attention from the familyC．are often kept away from the dinner table D．find it hard to keep up with other children34．Lewis’ research provides an answer to the question _________.A．why TV is important in family lifeB．why parents should keep good orderC．why children in small families seem to be quieterD．why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life35．Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?A．It is important to have the right food for children.B．It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.C．Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.D．Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner第二节（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

河北省武邑中学高考英语一轮复习第36期55分钟课堂练习 (2)

河北省武邑中学2015届高考英语一轮复习第36期55分钟课堂练习第二部分：阅读理解 (共两节，满分40分)AEvery time Lionel Messi breaks a record, it seems appropriate to compare him to the legends that came before him.In 2012, he rewrote soccer history on multiple occasions, and his latest record came when he scored his 86th goal of the calendar year, breaking Gerd Muller’s previous mark, before wrapping up the year with 91 goals.All statistics indicate that Messi is currently the best player in the world, and that he will go down in history as the top footballer of his generation. But when he is judged against all-time greats like Pele and Diego Maradona, he still has work to do.We don’t know whether the Barcelona striker will have another year in which he records more than 90 goals, but he must still sustain(维持)a similar level of production for the next several seasons.Messi has already taken part in three of Barcelona’s victorious Champions League(冠军联赛)campaigns, and he played an important role in two of them. In order to firmly establish himself as the greatest club football player in history, he must win the tournament a few more times.Most importantly, the Argentine(阿根廷人)needs to win on the international stage. Regardless of what Messi does for Barcelona, his legacy will be incomplete if he cannot win the World Cup with Argentina.Both Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their careers, and Messi’s performances for his country have been severely disappointing.While he was still a teenager in 2006-and his lackluster(平淡的)showing is excusable due to his youth-he cannot brush off the disappointment that characterized Argentina’s performance in 2010.But the 4-0 loss to Germany in the 2010 World Cup Quarter Final seems to have sparked Messi. He scored 12 times for Argentina last year, and the next World Cup could finally be Messi’s breakout performance in blue and white stripes.Due to all of his accomplishments, it is easy to forget that the extraordinary footballer is just 25 years old. If he can avoid injury or lengthy slumps(低潮状态)until his speed and skills start to decline due to age, he may continue to break records and win trophies.21. What will Messi have to do in order to be complete in his soccer career?A. He must win the World Cup with Argentina.B. He must win the tournament a few more times.C. He must defeat Pele and Maradona.D. He must avoid injury or lengthy slumps.22. How was Messi’s performance in 2010 World Cup?A. Excellent.B. Inspiring.C. Disappointing.D. Normal.23. What can we infer from the passage?A. Messi has firmly established himself as the greatest club soccer player in history.B. Messi will try his best to win the next World Cup with Argentina.C. Messi can avoid injury and lengthy slumps to break records and win trophies.D. Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their careers.24. What is the best title of the passage?A. Lionel Messi, the Best Soccer Player of All TimeB. Lionel Messi, the Greatest Soccer Player in HistoryC. Barcelona and Lionel MessiD. World Cup and Lionel MessiBPlanning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost ￡169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost ￡118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you're looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as , which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was ￡95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was ￡75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just ￡62.95.LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self－catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, available for ￡420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.GET ON A BIKE London's “Boris bikes” have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around ￡1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or ￡5 per day)．25. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________．A. help travelers pass timeB. attract lots of travelers to the UKC. allow travelers to make flexible plansD. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation26．“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably ________．A. a hotel away from the train stationB. the tube line to Covent GardenC. an ideal holiday destinationD. the name of a travel agency27．The passage shows that the O'Neill Flat ________．A. lies on the ground floorB. is located in central LondonC. provides cooking facilities for touristsD. costs over ￡100 on average per day in late September28．Cardiff's program allows a free bike for a maximum period of ________．A. half an hourB. one hourC. one hour and a halfD. two hoursCWhile students in Yinchuan are quite used to clear skies, Beijing teenagers are not so lucky. As another warm winter approaches, the city can expect the normal clouds of smoke caused by air pollution.But things may start to improve soon. The government is co-operating with a US-based environmental protection agency to update existing buses and trucks with clean fuel technology. The new technology could reduce air pollutants in existing diesel engines(柴油机)by 40 percent. The programme will begin by testing buses in Beijing to see if the technology can be applied to them.“We encourage the development of public transports. But at the same time we need to reduce pollution from them, ”said an official.Ef forts are being made to improve the capital’s environment with tighter controls on emissions(排放). Some heavily polluting factories and construction sites, such as those owned by the steel giant Shougang Group, have been asked to cut production in November and December or be closed.Beijing was the third polluted city in the world at the end of last century, according to the UN. But thanks to recent measures, the capital has made some progress. Last year 224 clear days were rated as having good air quality. In 1998 the air quality index(指数)gave just 100 days as good.“I am glad to see an improvement, ”said a senior 1 boy living in the northwest of Beijing. “Compared to other places, the air quality of Beijing is still worrying though.I hate pollution. Once I was riding my bike in the morning when I almost had a traffic accident because I couldn’t see a car only metres away from me in fog. ”In early October, the skies were covered by such a thick fog that a display show by the visiting French Air Force was called off.Rapid development, industry, traffic fumes and sandstorms from the desert all contribute to the city’s bad air.29. The passage is mainly about .A. a programme aiming at improving Beijing’s air qualityB. progress made in Beijing’s air qualityC.

河北省武邑中学2015届高三英语一轮复习55分钟课堂练习45 Word版含答案

第一部分阅读理解AOn a number of drives throughout my childhood, my mother would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle from tragedy while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car.Though Mother’s Day follows Earth Day, for me, they have always been related to each other. My mom has been “green” since she became concerned about the environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift (节俭). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.Mom creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife in her yard. She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders(给食器) out at night, it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons (浣熊). Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in the garden.I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions (蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mom didn’t need to lecture; she didn’t need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct for protection.I am slowing down and it isn’t because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet, it is out of my concern for the planet itself. I’ve begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with a sweetness I immediately wanted to share with my mom.1. Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mother’s Day?A. Because Mother’s Day always falls shortly after Earth Day.B. To stress that all the women in her family are environmentalists.C. To stress how much her mother cares about the environment.D. Because her mother shows her concern to nature on Mother’s Day.2. Which of the following is NOT related to Mom’s “green life”?A. Rescuing a beetle from a certain tragedy.B. Saving glass jars, empty cheese containers.C. Setting a caught spider free in the gardenD. Picking dandelions on busy streets.3. We can infer from the article that ______.A. the author realizes that she should teach her children by example as wellB. the author’s mother knows how to get rid of the wildlife in her yardC. the author believes that only by learning to slow down can we enjoy lifeD. the author’s mother used to lecture her to protect the environment.4. What can be learned from the last paragraph?A. Tomatoes make the author think of her mother.B. The author likes eating tomatoes planted by herself.C. Planting tomatoes is a way of protecting environment.D. The author really appreciates her mother’s teaching.BHigh-quality customer service is preached（宣扬）by many, but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done.Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store(零售店), but instead will warn their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers and anyone who will listen. Store managers are often the last to hear complaints. “Storytelling hurts retailers(零售商) and entertains consumers,” said Paula Courtney, President of the Verde group. “The store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement.”The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered（塞满了的）shelves, overloaded racks, out-of-stock items, long check-out lines, and rude sales people.During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved the parking problems by getting part-time local police to work as parking attendants to direct customers to empty parking spaces. Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store display, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions. Most importantly, sales people should be skillful and polite with angry customers.“Retailers who’re enthusiastic and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those who aren’t so friendly.” said Professor Stephen Hoch. “Maybe something as a greeter at the store entrance would help.”Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filling complaints to the retailer, instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.5. Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints?A. Most shoppers won’t complain even if they have had unhappy experiences.B. It is difficult for customers to have easy access to store mangers.C. Few customers believe the service will be improved after their complaints.D. Shoppers would rather tell their unhappy experiences to people around them.6. What does Paula Courtney imply by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?A. The same products can be bought in other retail stores.B. It is not likely the shopper can find the same products in other stores.C. There is a great chance that new customers are to replace old ones.D. Not complaining to the manager causes the shopper some trouble too.7. What contributes most to smoothing over issues with customers?A. Hiring of efficient employees.B. Manners of the salespeople.C. Huge supply of goods for sale.D. Design of the store display.8. To achieve better shopping experiences, customers are advised to ______.A. voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directlyB. settle their disagreements with stores in a friendly wayC. put pressure on stores to improve their serviceD. shop around and make comparisons between storesCAlthough being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrillingstories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities—famous people—worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.9. It can be learned from the passage that stars today_______.A. are often misunderstood by the publicB. can no longer have their privacy protectedC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have come into fame10. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.11. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A. Availability of modern media.B. Inadequate social recognition.C. Lack of favorable chances.D. Huge population of fans.12. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sincere.B. Skeptical.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.DHolding a cell phone against your ear or storing it in your pocket may be dangerous to your health. This explains a warning that cell phone manufacturers include in the small print that is often ignored when a new phone is purchased. Apple, for example, doesn’t want iPhones to come closer to you than 1.5 centimeters; Research In Motion, Blac kBerry’s manufacturer, recommends 2.5 centimeters.If health issues arise from cell phone use, the possible effects are huge. Voice calls—Americans chat on cell phones 2.26 trillion(万亿)minutes annually—earn $109 billion for the wireless carriers.Devra Davis, an expert who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about cell phone radiation, “Disconnect.” The book sur veys scientific research and concludes the question is not settled.Brain cancer is a concern that Ms. Davis examines. Over all, there has not been an increase in its incidence since cell phones arrived. But the average masks an increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older population.“Most cancers have multiple causes,” she says, but she points to laboratory research that suggests low-energy radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer.Children are more vulnerable(易受伤的) to radiation than adults, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. Radiation that penetrates only five centimeters into the brain of an adult will reach much deeper into the brains of children because their skulls are thinner and their brains contain more absorptive fluid(易吸收的液体). No studies have yet been completed on cell phone radiation and children, she says.Henry Lai, a research professor in the bioengineering department at the University of Washington, began laboratory radiation studies in 1980 and found that rats exposed to radiation had damaged DNA in their brains.Ms. Davis recommends using wired headsets or the phone’s speaker. Children should text rather than call, she said, and pregnant women should keep phones away from the abdomen(腹部).13. Why do children easily be affected by radiation?A. Because they haven’t grown up.B. Because they are too young to protect themselves.C. Because they use cell phones more often than adults.D. Because their skulls are thinner and their brains are easily hurt.14. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A. Pregnant women should keep cell phones away.B. People should use cell phones in the correct way.C. If you are a child, you’d better text than make phone calls.D. When you use a cell ph one, use a wired headset or the phone’s speaker.15. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Be careful when using cell phones.B. Don’t hold your cell phone against your ear.C. Rats exposed to radiation have damaged DNA in their brains.D. Low-energy radiation c ould damage cells that could lead to cancer.EAfrica is a very diverse land with many different tribes. One tradition that many of these groups share is painting or marking their bodies and faces in color. They do this for many reasons. Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group.___ 16___ Let’s look at some different examples of body painting.___17____ Among the Masai of East Africa, when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people, they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red. This ceremony take place every seven to fourteen years, so there is not an exact age for participating in it. The Samburu, also from East Africa, like to paint their faces and hair red because they think it looks attractive.___18____ To show that he has killed a lion, a man will paint his body with a natural white material, making special marks to represent this accomplishment. The Masai men also use this white to show that they are on longer boys and are considered adults.One quite unusual example of face painting is done by the Wodaabe people of West Africa. Once a year, they have a beauty contest for men. ___19___ Then they add white and black circlesand lines. Black paint is used near the eyes and on the lips to draw attention to the whiteness of their eyes and teeth, which the Wodaabe consider most beautiful.___ 20___.As you travel, enjoy the beautiful and bright colors of Africa.A．Red is the common color in body painting because it often represents health and long life. B．Other marks are used for ceremonies such as weddings and during times of war.C．The ceremony expresses hope for rain.D．The Masai men also have a unique way of showing that they are brave.E. The women then decide which man they like best.F. The men pretend to fight each other.G. The men paint their faces yellow and red.第二部分完形填空I learned about life from an ant farm.

河北省武邑中学高考英语一轮复习第33期55分钟课堂练

河北省武邑中学2015届高考英语一轮复习第33期55分钟课堂练习第一部分阅读理解AThe Cost of Higher EducationIndividuals (个人) should pay for their higher education.A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates earn more than non-graduates. Meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree. However, only some people have it. So the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government. Using taxpayers' money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them. Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy.If students have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also demand more from their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celebrate.Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (经济). Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest (投资) and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest.Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their university education.1. The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refers to _________.A. taxpayersB. pressing callsC. college graduatesD. government resources2. The author thinks that with full government funding _________.A. teachers are less satisfiedB. students are more demandingC. students will become more competentD. teachers will spend less time on teaching3. The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to _________.A. argue against free university educationB. call on them to finance students' studiesC. encourage graduates to go into businessD. show their contribution to higher educationBWherever she goes, Molly leaves her mark. Without saying a word, she speaks to people with her kind eyes. Even when she walks away, she leaves an impression．Molly's mark is a smile, stamped into the ground by the horseshoe at the bottom of her false leg．A few years ago, Molly was badly attacked by a dog．The dog bit all four of Molly’s legs and left large cuts in her face. Molly's owner, Kate Harris, took her to an animal hospital．Doctors there were able to save Molly’s life, but soon one of her legs became very infected(感染).At first, doctors thought Molly would have to be put to sleep．But Molly changed their minds. This pony, doctors noticed, shifted her weight, and rested her good leg from time to time. Doctors knew that Molly had amazing intelligence, and that she wanted to live.Several doctors operated on Molly, and removed her infected leg. A false leg was made for her. The leg was a hollow cast with a pole at the bottom for balance. Doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of the leg. This horseshoe she had had a stamp of a smile face in it!After the operation, Molly walked around on all four legs, as if nothing had ever happened to her! Now, with every step she takes, she stamps a smile in the dirt．But she leaves her mark in other ways, too.Kaye Harris took Molly to the false leg center. There were children there who, like Molly, had artificial arms or legs. They were amazed to see a pony with a false leg. Molly made them smile and gave them hope. Soon, Molly began to visit schools, nursing homes, army bases and hospitals. A book was even written about Molly!4. Molly is the name of a .A．dog B．horse C．parent D．child5. Which of the following is true according to the text?A．Molly can speak to people in kind words.B．Kay Harris took Molly to a children’s hospital after the attack.C．In the beginning, doctors had planned to end Molly’s life.D．Molly sometimes leaves smiling marks on people’s faces.6. What is unique about Molly?A．Molly has a false leg with a horseshoe, in which is a stamp of a smile face.B．Molly ran a race and won the first prize, making her owner satisfied.C．Molly often visits places such as schools and parks.D．Molly has become a symbol of hope for people of all ages.7. Which is the best title for the passage?A．A Book on Molly B．A False LegC．A successful Operation D．Leaving her MarkC“Love your neighbor as yourself” is a saying familiar to most of us．It means that you must have the ability to love and accept yourself in order to form and keep satisfying relationship with others. Self-esteem means accepting yourself for who you really are, andbelieving that you are indeed a worthwhile person who is deserving of love and respect from others．Self-esteem is our sense of how good we feel about ourselves．It is based on our judgment of ourselves, not on other people's assessment, but simply on our own．Our self-esteem is not dependent on our talent．Some very ordinary people feel very good about themselves, while other extraordinarily high achievers hold low opinions of themselves．Self-esteem is the primary key to long-term stress management．Why? The first three sources of stress are: predictable life events, unexpected changes and build-up of daily stresses. These are much easier to handle when we believe in ourselves. A positive, healthy self-esteem gives us the “hardiness”（强健）to deal with the difficulties of life, and to see them as challenges to be met, rather than threats to be feared．The fourth category of stress is entirely the result of a low self-esteem．It is the category of stress that is most common and tiring in the long run．This kind of stress cannot be overcome, or even changed, until the self-esteem problems that cause it are corrected．Learning to love yourself for who you are is the key to overcoming stress．Self-esteem comes from the self, and cannot be promoted by others．A person who feels that his self-esteem comes from the approval of those around him or her is bound to self-destruct（自毁）. One cannot keep the level of “performance” required to please everyone else, especially if that performance disagrees with who you are and is simply a facade that makes you popular with the world．When the applause is gone, there is nothing left．Only those who can feel the strength of knowing who they are and those who can feel good about themselves will survive the stresses of life．Self-esteem is the basis of contentment and positive living．8．What is self-esteem?A．A kind of positive lifestyle．B．The impression we have on other people．C．Our sense of how good we feel about ourselves．D．Our understanding of how we are seen by others．9．What is the key to overcoming stress according to the passage?A．Removing yourself from stressful situation．B．Learning to love yourself for who you are．C．Facing the stress and dealing with it．D．Getting help from friends．10．What does the underlined word "facade" （in Para 5） mean?A．A strange feeling． B．A big worry．C．A wrong action． D．A false appearance．11．The passage is written to ______．A．show the importance of feeling good about yourselfB．help people form good relationship with othersC．tell people how to overcome stressD．provide the different methods to get a clear view of yourselfDWe all know that global warming is caused by greenhouse gases, largely carbon dioxide, which is given out by everything ranging from home appliances(电器) and cars to the heating and lighting systems of office buil dings. But since we don’t see the gas, most of us simply shake our heads and then continue with our bad habits. Now, researchers at Arizona State University are trying to change that.Directed by associate professor Kevin Gurney, the Hestia Project’s main goal is to make something that is currently intangible (无形的) into something a little more tangible, by allowing all of us to visually see how much each and every one of us is “contributing” to global warming.In order to obtain a complete picture of the city’s environment, the team begins by collecting data from all different sources. Then, using special software they divide the emissions (排放) into three categories — commercial entities (实体) (office buildings and industrial plants), households and vehicles. This is the stage where things start to get really inte resting. That’s because instead of showing all this information using graphs that we all instantly lose interest in, they create a visual “film” that shows not only the carbon emitted by each entity, but also the exact location it is coming from and the amount, which varies depending on the time of day or season. For example, the car emissions during rush hour are the highest, as is the case for commercial buildings during the day, especially during winter months when the heating is on.Kevin knows that some of the data shown may start a blame game among the residents (居民) of the city. However, he is hoping that the people will go beyond that and instead use it to make changes in their daily lives.12.

With the efforts of Kevin’s team, people can _____.A. see a film about the effects of greenhouse gasesB. study methods of cutting greenhouse gasesC. know a certain place’s emission at different timesD. get information on emissions with various graphs14.

第一节：阅读理解ACompassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into actions. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register （收款机）with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash (现金), had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Change it to me, ” was all he said.What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.1. The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits_________ .A ．hoped to have the food first and pay laterB ．promised to obey the store rulesC ．forgot to take any money with himD ．could not afford anything more expensive3. Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?A ．kind and luckyB ．friendly and helpfulC ．poor and lonelyD ．hurt anddisappointed3. The writer acted upon the store rules because_________ .A ．he felt no pity for the old gentlemanB．he considered the old man dishonestC．he expected someone else to pay for the old manD．he wanted to keep his present job4. What does the writer learn from his experience?A．Wealth is more important than anything elseB．Experience is better gained through practiceC．Obeying the rules means more than compassion.D．Helping others is easier said than doneBBlamelessI was a freshman in college when I met the Whites. They were completely different from my own family, yet I felt at home with them immediately. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin.In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened.“Who did this? ”my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen.“This is all your fault, Katharine, ”my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke.From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other. We set a place for blame at the dinner table.But the Whites didn’t worry about who had done what. They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died.In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York. The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy, had recently turned sixteen. Proud of having a new driver’s license（驾照），Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her license to everyone she met.The big sisters shared the driving of Sarah’s new car during the first p art of the trip, but when they reached less crowded areas, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous or j ust didn’t see the sign no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping. The driver of a large truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car.Jane was killed immediately.I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that I’ve ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died. Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing aroom. Sarah had a few cuts on the head; Amy’s leg was broken. They hugged（拥抱）us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls’ tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches（拐杖）.To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, “We’re so glad that you’re alive. ”I was astonished. No blame. No accusations.Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.Mrs. White said, “Jane’s gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister’s death? ”They were right. Amy graduated from the University of California and got married several years ago. She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students. She’s also a mother of two little girls of her own, the oldest named Jane.5. How did the accident occur?A. Amy didn’t know what to do when she saw the stop sign.B. Amy didn’t slow down so their car ran into a truck.C. Amy didn’t stop at a crossroads and a truck hit their car.D. Amy didn’t get off the highway at a crossroads.6. The Whites did not blame Amy for Jane’s death because _____.A. Amy was badly injured herself and they didn’t want to add to her painB. they didn’t want to blame their children in front of othersC. they didn’t want Amy to feel ashamed and sorry for the rest of her lifeD. Amy was their youngest daughter and they loved her best7. From the passage we can learn that _____.A. Amy has lived quite a normal lifeB. Amy has never recovered from the shockC. Amy changed her job after the accidentD. Amy lost her memory after the accidentCA rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below 16℃.Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate.Without the forest cover，these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world.Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns，potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.In the past hundred years，humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources(资源)：land for crops，wood for paper and other products，land for raisingfarm animals.This action affects the environment as a whole.For example，a lot of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)in the air comes from burning the rainforests.People obviously have a needfor the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this.Firstly，when people cut down trees，generally they can only use the land for a year or two.Secondly，cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now，but in the long run it actually reduces the world'swood supply.Rainforests are often called the world's drug store.More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests.However，fewer than 1%of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value.It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world's shrinking rainforests.8．Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they ______.A．reflect more heat into the atmosphereB．reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earthC．bring about high rainfall throughout the worldD．rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than 16℃9．What does the word“this”underlined in the third paragraph refer to?A．Humans have begun destroying rainforests.B．People have a strong desire for resources.C．We will lose much more than we can gain.D．Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.10．It can be inferred from the text that ______.A．we can get enough resources without rainforestsB．we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained landC．the level of annual rainfall affects wind patternsD．there is great medicine potential in rainforests11．What might be the best title for the text?A．Rainforests and the Environment B．How to Save RainforestsC．How to Protect Nature D．Rainforests and Medical DevelopmentDThe Diet Zone: A Dangerous PlaceDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” eve rywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically（身体上）.Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale（秤）instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.12. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.A. diet products fail to bring out people’s potentialB. people are fed up with diet productsC. people have difficulty in choosing diet productsD. diet products are misleading people13. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____.A. hesitate before they enjoy diet foodsB. pay attention to their own eating habitsC. watch their weight rather than their dietD. try out a variety of diet foods14. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means ______.A. losing weight is effortlessB. diet products bring no painC. it costs a lot to lose weightD. diet products are free from calories15. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.A. lack basic nutrientsB. are over-consumedC. are short of chemicalsD. provide too much energyEChoosing to Study OverseasEvery year, thousands of students choose to study in another country for a semester, the summer, or a year. Studying overseas can be an exciting experience for many people.16Living in another country can help you to learn a language, and about another culture.17 Overseas study may also look good on your future resume. Many companies today want employees who speak a second language, or have experienced living or working in another country.Making the right choiceOnce you decide to study overseas, you have to make some choices.

Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment, which has become one of London’s main tourist attractions.Looking thinner and darker, 30 year-old Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames(泰晤士河)and immediately went to hospital. He was then slowly reintroduced to food, a process (过程)doctors say could be life threatening.

He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his super model friends.Over the last decade Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever tricks aimed at getting a lot of attention.In 1999, he was buried in a coffin (棺材) for one week and, in 2000, he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice. Last year he stood on top of a 25-meter pillar(柱子) in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes.“I think a lot of people are unable to accept that they’re able to do what they can do,” he said. “They don’t realize we can survive. The human being is an amazing creation.”But he seems to have suffered from spending so long in the glass box. He said that at times he was unable to see, had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste.10.

But there’s a secret world hidden behind the balloons, castles and cotton candy — a place where wild cats wander at midnight, Mickey Mouse hides in the wallpaper, and movie stars drink martinis behind closed doors.Cat security —It’s not easy keeping the ground of Dis neyland spotless, as well as free of unwanted pests. Every night after closing time, 200 wild cats were freed into the park to help keep the rodent（啮齿）population under control. Though Disney doesn’t comment on the matter, rumor （传闻）has it that the cat taskforce dates back to 1957. After unsuccessful attempts to chase them out of the park, Disney decided to put the cats to work instead.Hidden Mickeys—At Disneyland the round-eared Mickey Mouse image is everywhere. But you can also see hundreds of “Hidden Mickeys” across the park, which are very difficult to spot: they’re camouflage （伪装）in the architecture and landscaping as well as in the smallest stylistic details.Cocktail（鸡尾酒）behind closed doors—Disney is dry unless you can manage to get your name on the list at Club 33. The secret cocktail club has a limited membership of just 487 and a waiting list of approximately 14 years. Walt Disney designed the club as a special space to entertain possible investors; since then, it has hosted US presidents, film stars and foreign guests.Always on stage—At Disneyland, a doorman isn’t a doorman, he is a “cast member”. So are the large numbers of cashiers, painters, ride operators, gardeners and performers. All “cast members” are trained to follow a specific rule that helps preserve the Disne y magic. On the list of dos and don’ts?Never break character. If wearing a costume that belongs in Fantasyland, don’t set foot in Tomorrowland—it might Confuse visitors or break the park’s orderly image. Cast members have a Disney “look book” that details the fresh-faced ideal—no long fingernails, beards, or unnaturally colored hair allowed. It’s a return to Walt Disney’s All-American standards: when the park opened even guests with facial hair weren’t allowed entrance.14. The reason why there are many wild cats in Disneyland is that ________.A. they’re in charge of the cleaning of the parkB. they’re allowed to act as cleaners and guardsC. they have to keep watch in the daytimeD. they have a comfortable house to live in15. From the passage we can know that in Disneyland “Hidden Mickeys” are _________.A. smallB. obviousC. everywhereD. dishonest16. What do the underlined Words “Disney is dry” in paragraph 4 mean?A. It’s easy to join the Club 33.B. The ground keeps dry.C. It doesn’t often rain.D. Drinking alcohol is forbidden.17. From the last paragraph, we can know the workers in Disneyland _______.A. must know the dos and don’tsB. needn’t have their facial h air shavedC. can wear unnaturally colored hairD. mustn’t get in TomorrowlandE_18___You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying.__19__ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class. __20__Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. __21___If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.___22__ You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.A. There are other methods that might help you with your studying.B. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.C. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.D. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.E. Maybe you are an average student.F. Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.G. This will help you understand the next class.第二部分：完形填空Coin confusionRachel looked through troubled eyes at his sister and said, “1 wouldn't have thought Eric would be a thief.”His sister Sarah replied, “Whoa, that's a36 accusation to make against your best friend!”Rachel remembered two days ago when he had brought out his coin collection for Eric to 37 ．At the end of that day, Rachel's mother had asked him to do her a favor，so he had asked his friend,“1s it okay if I leave you for a few minutes?"

The townspeople never forgot the rescue and came to help their most famous neighbor.J.D. Salinger: A Life by Kenneth Slawenski (Random House,$27)Mystery（疑案小说）“You’re a smart boy. Benny’s death was no accident, and you’re the only one who saw it happen. Do yo u think the murderer should get away with it?” The boy was staring stubbornly at his lap again.A thought suddenly occurred to Annika. “Did you... You recognized the man in the car, didn’t you?”The boy hesitated, twisting his fingers. “Maybe,” he said qui etly.Red Wolf by Liza Marklund (Atria Books, $25,99)Short StoriesShe wants to say to him what she has learned, none of it in class: Some women are born stupid, and some women are too smart for their own good. Some women are born to give, and some women only know how to take. Some women learn who they want to be from their mothers, some who they don’t want to be. Some mothers suffer so their daughters won’t. Some mothers love so their daughters won’t.You Are Free by Danzy Senna (Riverhead Books, $15)HumorDo your kids like to have fun? Come to Fun Times! Do you like to watch your kids having fun? Bring them to Fun Times! Fun Times’ “amusement cycling” is the most fun you can have, legally, in the United States right now. Why spend thousands of dollars flying to Disney World when you can spend less than half of that within a day’s drive in most cities?Happy And Other Bad Thoughts by Larry Doyle (Ecco, $14.99)1. If the readers want to know about the lite of Salinger, they should buy the book published by.A. EccoB. Atria BooksC. Riverhead BooksD. Random House2. The book Happy And Other Bad Thoughts is intended for .A. young childrenB. Disney World workersC. middle school teachersD. parents with young children3.

After finishing the book Red Wolf, the readers would learn that .A. the boy helped arrest the murdererB. Benny died of an accidentC. the murderer got away with the crimeD. Ammika carried out the crimeBAstronauts on shorter shuttle missions（使命）often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day’s work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station (ISS). ISS crewmembers usually live i space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email, internet phone and through private video conferences.While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters. And as from early 2010, the internet became available on the ISS, giving astronauts the chance to do some “web surfing（冲浪）” in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth. Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet several t imes each day, and every moment offers a new view of the Earth’s vast land mass and oceans.5. What does the word “mimic” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. FindB. CopyC. ChangeD. Lose6. Which of the following best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS?A. They are caring and thoughtful.B. They are worried and upset.C. They are impatient and annoyed.D. They are excited and curious.7. In the final paragraph, the author shows that astronauts _______A. get more pleasure in space than on the EarthB. find living in space a bit boring and tiringC. regard space life as commonD. love to see the Earth from space8. The passage mainly discusses how astronauts _____A. work for longer missions in spaceB. connect with people on the earthC. observe the Earth from spaceD. spend their free time in spaceCIf Confucius（孔子） were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthdaywith a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the US will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucious. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy., students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucious to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confuciousand Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.9.The opening paragraph is mainly intended to__________A. provide some key facts about ConfuciousB. Attract the readers' interest in the subjectC. Show great respect for the ancient thinkerD. Prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations10.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students_________.A.Have a great interest in studying ChineseB.Take an active part in Chinese competitionsC.Try to get high scores in Chinese examsD.Fight for a chance to learn Chinese11.What is the best title for the passage?A.Forgotten wisdom in AmericaB.Huge fans of the Chinese LanguageC.Chinese Culture for WesternersD.Old Thinker with a Big Future12.The passage is likely to appear in ________A. A biographyB. A history paperC. A newspaperD. A philosophy textbookDInside the pleasingly fragrant cafe, So All May Eat (SAME) in downtown Denver, the spirit of generosity （慷慨）is instantly noticeable. A donation box stands in place of a cash register. Customers here pay only what they can afford, on questions asked.A risky business plan, perhaps, but SAME Cafe has done one unchangeable thing in the Mile High City for six years: Open only at midday, the restaurant provides poor local people with healthy, delicious lunches six days a week. Those unable to pay for their meals can instead volunteer as waiters and waitresses, and dishwashers, or look after the buildings and equipment for the cafe.“It’s based on trust, and it’s working all right,” says co-owner Brad Birky, who started the cafe in 2006 with his wife Libby. Previously volunteering at soup kitchens, the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served there.“We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where everyone felt comfortable, regardless of their circumstances,” Birky says. SAME’s special lunch menu changes daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farmers.The cafe now averages 64 to 70 customers (and eight volunteers) a day. And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading. In early 2007, one volunteer who had cleared snow for his meals during the long winter said goodbye to the Birkys. “He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hurricane cleanup,” says Birky.13. What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys previously worked for?A. They refused to have volunteers.B. They offered low quality food.C. They provided customers with a good environment.D. They closed down because of poor management.14. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. The customers who cannot pay can work as volunteers instead.B. More volunteers will go to New Orleans for the hurricane cleanup.C. Many new cafes will be opened to offer free lunches in the town.D. The lunch menu has remained the same since the cafe was started.15. The author’s attitude towards running such a cafe is _______.A. unfavorableB. approvingC. doubtfulD. cautiousE(七选五)Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer(温度计)for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear. _____16____. We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don’t feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale. Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide._____17_____ .The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts(收缩). That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube._____18______.First. Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap ; fill the bottle with coloured water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw(吸管) through the nail hole. ______19______.Finally. Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water lever easily. ______20____.As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the lever in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water lever in the straw each morning for a week.A．We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives.B．Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled.C．Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.D．The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher.E．They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100degrees.F．Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal把..粘住) them together.G．People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world. 第二部分完形填空（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分）It was a cool October evening.

河北省武邑中学2015届高考英语一轮复习第34期55分钟课堂练习阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）AI have a friend who lives by a three-word philosophy: Seize the moment. Just possibly, she may be the wisest woman on this planet. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven’t thought about it. Don’t have it on their schedule, and didn’t know it was coming or they are too strict to depart from their routine.I can’t count the times I called my sister and said, “How about going to lunch in half an hour?” She would gasp an d stammer (结结巴巴地说), “I can’t. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known it yesterday, I had a late breakfast, and it looks like rain.” And my personal favorite response: “It’s just Monday.” She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch toge ther. From then on, I’ve tried to be a little more flexible.Life has a way of going faster as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises made to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we are awaken, and all having to show for our lives is r epetition of “I’m going to” , “I plan on” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit.”When anyone calls my “seize the moment” friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for a while, and you’re ready to change your attitude to life.My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker(烘缸). If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happily. Now go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to … not something on your SHOULD DO list.21．The example of the writer’s sister serves as ________.A. a debateB. an introductionC. a supportD. a conclusion 22．The writer thinks that the excuse “It’s just Monday.” is acceptable, because ________.A. it is still likely that they can have lunch together some time laterB. it sounds most reasonable of all the excusesC. it shows respect for t he writer’s suggestionD. it indicates the time when they can have lunch together23．The underlined word “contagious” in the fourth paragraph means ________ .A. accurateB. influentialC. hopefulD. necessary24．What is the purpose of the writer by writing this passage?A. To suggest how time flies.B. To persuade busy people to relax.C. To advise people to keep their promise.D. To persuade readers to be flexible on their schedule for practical joy.BAre you a team person? Are you at your best as part of a small, tightly united group of dedicated workers? If so, the future may hold more for you than you think.High technology, some predicted, would make teamwork a thing of the past. That’s happening in those areas of business and data proces sing where one person and a computer can replace a team of workers.But, elsewhere, teamwork is very much alive. High technology has led to a new type of teamwork in a number of fields, including advertising, scientific research, engineering design, architecture and ocean exploration. Through computer networking, scientists, engineers and technicians at different locations---often thousands of miles apart---can work on the same project at once. They can exchange ideas, try out different designs and test their results.Examples? An engineering team can now design and try out a robot system, a new manufacturing process, or an entire factory before it is built. An architectural team can do the same with a building or a bridge. A medical team can simulate (模拟) a dangerous operation before performing it on a patient.Of course, computer–assisted team effort doesn’t end with investigation and simulation. It now usually continues into actual design, manufacturing and testing. “Computer–aided design (CAD) and computer–aided manufacture (CAM) are breaking down barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions,” explains Dr. Prakash Rao, an engineering manager at General Electric. “Interdisciplinary（跨学科的）teams and engineers follow a product from concept to production. Everything is interconnected like a network.”Sometimes a computer–aided effort can extend beyond production. A team thatproduces robots may use them to explore space and ocean depth. For high–technology team work, the future seems limitless.25. The underlined part “hold more”in paragraph 1 most probably means to .A．have more chances B．give more rightsC．make more regulations D．store more information26. According to the passage, the writer believes that .A．teamwork requires more use of computers than that of human beingsB．teamwork will be completely replaced by computersC．the concept of teamwork is still alive and no longer the same as the pastD．high technology would make teamwork a thing of the past27. The examples given by the writer in Paragraph 4 serve .A．to prove high technology has a promising futureB．to explain his idea of new type of teamwork is reasonableC．to show that it tends to be an end to teamwork soonD．to indicate the computer—assisted team effort just means investigation and simulation.28. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．Many fields of science and technology are now using computers effectively.B．No details are given in the passage about barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions.C．Experts from different fields have to cooperate to develop a product from concept to productionD．High technology is nothing but a new type of teamwork plus CAD and CAM.CPoet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路)in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road,especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制)and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired. But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They’d get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons.We eventu ally arrived at my parents’doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of storiesI grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey----and the best part of yourself.29.

To give herself some time to readB. To order some food for themC. To play a game with them.D. To let them cool down32. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Charm of the DetourB.

They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become a compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessive behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log（写日志）on computers and spend long hours at different websites.They become hooked(着迷) on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don’t concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades, and success at schools. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society, Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate themselves from the society and live with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real life friends they have known all their life. lt is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect the whole world.5.

Which of the following is NOT true of weboholism?A. It contributes to the development of the web.B. The chat room language may change social culture.C.

The author’s attitude towards weboholism is that of being _______.A. objectiveB. positiveC. opposedD. acceptableCNap，doze，shut-eye and snooze are all expressions we use to describe that mysterious state，sleep. We all do it，we can't get by without it and by the time we reach old age，most of us have spent 20 years sleeping. Yet，nobody knows why we do it．Most scientists think that by resting our bodies，we allow time for essential maintenance（维护）work to be done. Any damage that there is can be put right more quickly if energy isn't being used up doing other things. Injured animals certainly spend more time asleep than usual while their wounds are healing（愈合）．And quite a few illnesses make us feel sleepy so our body can get on with curing us．Sleep is controlled by certain chemicals. They build up during the day，eventually reaching levels that make us tired. We can control the effects of these chemicals to some extent．For example，caffeine helps to keep us awake while alcohol and some medicines make us sleepy.By using electrodes，scientists are able to study what goes on in people's heads while they are sleeping. They have discovered that when we first drop off everything slows down. The heart beats more slowly and our breathing becomes shallow．After about 90 minutes our eyes start to twitch and we go into what is called REM sleep．REM stands for Rapid Eye Movement，and it's a sign that we've started to dream.You have dreams every night，even if you don't remember them. There are all sorts of theories about why we dream. One is that it gives the brain a chance to sort out the day's activities，filling everything away in the right place. Another is that the brain gets bored while we're asleep and organizes its own entertainment-a sort of late-night cinema！A lot of people say they have to have eight hours’ sleep every night while others seem to manage on a lot less. One thing is for sure，we all need some sleep and going without it can have some very strange effects. An American DJ，who stayed awake for 200 hours to raise money for charity，thought things were bursting into flames all around him after 120 hours without sleep．He survived the strange horrible period of time but was depressed for three months afterwards．Humans are unusual in the way they sleep．Most animals have a sleep during the day and tests have shown that a siesta can be beneficial for us too．It's even been recommended that airline pilots should have a nap during long flight s so that they are more alert（警觉的）for the tricky business of landing.So next time you nod off after Sunday lunch in front of the TV，don't feel embarrassed about it．Science，after all，is on your side．9．The passage is probably from aA. lab reportB. research paperC. science storyD. drug instruction10. When we are sleeping，．A. our heart beats more slowlyB. our body chemicals become fully controllableC. our brain begins to show moviesD. our wound begins to heal11. The underlined word “siesta” in the last paragraph but one meansA. a good restB. a little drinkC. a short sleepD. a day dreamDWe can stay young forever. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world. And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditionalChinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “shen”.According to Shen, it is the kidney（肾脏）which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The Telegraph newspaper.We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.12. How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging?A. By studying Western medicine.B. By learning traditional Chinese medicine.C. By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.D. By doing research on both Western and Chinese people.13. What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?A. Medical treatment.B. People’s good kidney.C. Level of people’s activity.D. Positive life attitude.14. The reason why people become old is that _________.A. their bodies produce T-cellsB. their bodies are unable to fight diseasesC. they have reduced strength, loss of hairD. they become weaker and weaker15. We can probably learn from the passage that _________.A. producing more low calorie food allows people to keep youngB. the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for healthC. people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the bodyD. it remains unknown how effective Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine isEA punctual （准时的）person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment._71_He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again，but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things._72_.The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable assets as well as the assets of others'. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters or return calls or keep appointments promptly._73_. He knows that he can not getthrough his huge amount of work unless he faithfully attends to every piece of work when it has to be attended to .Failure to be punctual in keeping one's appointments is a sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time，he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. 74 .Unpunctuality，moreover，is very harmful when it comes to doing one's duty，whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time._75A. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful with his time and seldom complains because he lacks it.B. The unpunctual man，on one hand，never does what he should do ahead of time.C. In fact，time is life itself.D. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.E. The unpunctual man，on one hand，never does what he has to do at the proper time.F. All guests present ought to be respected by the host.G. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.第二部分完形填空A man found a cocoon (茧) of a moth（蛾）. He took it home so that he could 21 the moth come out of the cocoon. On that day a small 22 appeared, he sat and watched the moth for several hours as the moth struggled to 23 the body through that little hole.Soon it seemed to stop making any progress.

He took a pair of scissors and cut off the 25 bit of the cocoon. The 26 then came out easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriven（无用的）wings. The man continued to watch the moth because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and 27 to be able to support the 28 , which would get smaller in time. Neither happened! In fact, the little moth spent the rest of its life 29 around with a small, swollen body and shriveled wings. It was 30 able to fly.What the man in his kindness didn’t31 was that the small cocoon and the 32 of the moth to get through the 33 opening was a way to push fluid(液体) 34 the body of moth 35 its wings so that it would be ready to fly 36 it got out of the cocoon. Freedom and 37 would come only after the struggle. By taking the moth of a struggle away, he also took away the moth’s health.Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to 38 our lives without any difficulties, we would be disabled. We would not be as 39 as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance, leave no room for 40 .21.

The author’s attitude towards weboholism is that of being _______.A. objectiveB. positiveC. opposedD. acceptableCNap，doze，shut-eye and snooze are all expressions we use to describe that mysterious state，sleep. We all do it，we can't get by without it and by the time we reach old age，most of us have spent 20 years sleeping. Yet，nobody knows why we do it．Most scientists think that by resting our bodies，we allow time for essential maintenance （维护）work to be done. Any damage that there is can be put right more quickly if energy isn't being used up doing other things. Injured animals certainly spend more time asleep than usual while their wounds are healing（愈合）．And quite a few illnesses make us feel sleepy so our body can get on with curing us．Sleep is controlled by certain chemicals. They build up during the day，eventually reaching levels that make us tired. We can control the effects of these chemicals to some extent．For example，caffeine helps to keep us awake while alcohol and some medicines make us sleepy.By using electrodes，scientists are able to study what goes on in people's heads while they are sleeping. They have discovered that when we first drop off everything slows down. The heart beats more slowly and our breathing becomes shallow．After about 90 minutes our eyes start to twitch and we go into what is called REM sleep．REM stands for Rapid Eye Movement，and it's a sign that we've started to dream.You have dreams every night，even if you don't remember them. There are all sorts of theories about why we dream. One is that it gives the brain a chance to sort out the day's activities，filling everything away in the right place. Another is that the brain gets bored while we're asleep and organizes its own entertainment-a sort of late-night cinema！A lot of people say they have to have eight hours’ sleep every night while others seem to manage on a lot less. One thing is for sure，we all need some sleep and going without it can have some very strange effects. An American DJ，who stayed awake for 200 hours to raise money for charity，thought things were bursting into flames all around him after 120 hours without sleep．He survived the strange horrible period of time but was depressed for three months afterwards．Humans are unusual in the way they sleep．Most animals have a sleep during the day and tests have shown that a siesta can be beneficial for us too．It's even been recommended that airline pilots should have a nap during long flight s so that they are more alert（警觉的）for the tricky business of landing.So next time you nod off after Sunday lunch in front of the TV，don't feel embarrassed about it．Science，after all，is on your side．9．The passage is probably from aA. lab reportB. research paperC. science storyD. drug instruction10. When we are sleeping，．A. our heart beats more slowlyB. our body chemicals become fully controllableC. our brain begins to show moviesD. our wound begins to heal11. The underlined word “siesta” in the last paragraph but one meansA. a good restB. a little drinkC. a short sleepD. a day dreamDWe can stay young forever. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world. And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “shen”.According to Shen, it is the kidney（肾脏）which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The Telegraph newspaper.We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.12. How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging?A. By studying Western medicine.B. By learning traditional Chinese medicine.C. By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.D. By doing research on both Western and Chinese people.13. What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?A. Medical treatment.B. People’s good kidney.C. Level of people’s activity.D. Positive life attitude.14. The reason why people become old is that _________.A. their bodies produce T-cellsB. their bodies are unable to fight diseasesC. they have reduced strength, loss of hairD. they become weaker and weaker15. We can probably learn from the passage that _________.A. producing more low calorie food allows people to keep youngB. the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for healthC. people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the bodyD. it remains unknown how effective Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine isEA punctual （准时的）person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment._71_He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again，but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things._72_.The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable assets as well as the assets of others'. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters or return calls or keep appointments promptly._73_. He knows that he can not get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully attends to every piece of work when it has to be attended to .Failure to be punctual in keeping one's appointments is a sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time，he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. 74 .Unpunctuality，moreover，is very harmful when it comes to doing one's duty，whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time._75A. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful with his time and seldom complains because he lacks it.B. The unpunctual man，on one hand，never does what he should do ahead of time.C. In fact，time is life itself.D. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.E.

He took it home so that he could 21 the mothcome out of the cocoon.

It appeared as if it had 24 as far as it could and it could go no farther. It just seemed to be stuck. So the man, out of his kindness, decided to help the moth. He took a pair of scissors and cut off the 25 bit of the cocoon. The 26 then came out easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriven（无用的） wings. The man continued to watch the moth because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and 27 to be able to support the 28 , which would get smaller in time. Neither happened! In fact, the little moth spent the rest of its life 29 around with a small, swollen body and shriveled wings. It was 30 able to fly.What the man in his kindness didn’t31 was that the small cocoon and the 32 of the moth to get through the 33 opening was a way to push fluid(液体) 34 the body of moth 35 its wings so that it would be ready to fly 36 it got out of the cocoon. Freedom and 37 would come only after the struggle. By taking the moth of a struggle away, he also took away the moth’s health.Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life.

Beehives (蜂窝)-either recorded or real-may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer's crops.In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmers to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life(突然活跃）. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next，Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker（扬声器）close to each family.From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials（试验）with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.60. We know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of .A. loud noisesB. some cropsC. video camerasD. angry bees61. As mentioned in the passage, LucyA. works by herself in AfricaB. needs to test more elephant groupsC. has stopped elephants eating cropsD. has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms62. Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive?A. To record the sound of bees.B. To make a video of elephants.C. To see if elephants would run away.D. To find out more about the behavior of bees.63. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Young elephants ignore African honeybees.B. Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.C. Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them.D. Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.CShould we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve(保留）the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons，for example, economic (经济的) reasons，why they should be preserved. So, let us assume（假定）that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view, new architectural styles（建筑风格）can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的)and do not like change.Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward . If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves . Thus , I would argue against copying previous（先前的）architectural styles and choose something fresh and different , even though that might be the more risky choice.68.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?A.Some of them are not attractive.B.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.69.Which of the following is true according to the author ?A.We should reproduce the same old buildings.B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.70.By “move things forward ” in the last paragraph , the au thor probably means“”A.Destroy old buildingsB.Put things in a different placeC.Choose new architectural stylesD.Respect people’s feelings for historical buildings71.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain why people dislike change.B.To warn that we could end up living in caves.C.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.D.To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.36.A 37.B 38.C 39.D 40.D 41.C 42.B 43.A 44.A 45.B 46.C 47.D 48.D 49.C 50.B 51.A 52.B 53.C 54.C 55.D第三部分．阅读理解56.B 57.D 58.B 59.C 60.D 61.B 62.A 63.C 68.A 69.C 70.C 71.D。

河北省武邑中学2015届高三英语一轮复习55分钟课堂练习课练42 Word版含答案

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）A“Don't worry if you have problems!” It is easy to say until you are in the midst of a really big one. The only people who don't have troubles are gathered in little neighborhoods. Most communities have at least one. We call them cemeteries. If you're breathing, you have difficulties. It's the way of life. And believe it or not, most of your problems may actually be good for you! Let me explain.Maybe you have heard the Great Barrier Reef, stretching some 1,800 miles from NewGuinea to Australia. Tour guides regularly take visitors to view the reef.On one tour, a traveler asked the guide an interesting question. "I notice that the lagoon(泻湖) side of the reef looks pale and lifeless, while the ocean side is vibrant and colorful," the traveler observed. Why is this?The guide gave an interesting answer, "The coral around the lagoon side is in still water,with no challenge for its survival. It dies early. The coral on the ocean side is constantly being tested by wind, waves and storms. It has to fight for its survival every day. As it is challenged and tested, it changes and adapts. It grows healthy. It grows strong. And it reproduces."Then he added, “That's the way it is with every living organism.”That's how it is with people. Challenged and tested, we come alive! Like coral pounded bythe sea, we grow. Physical demands can cause us to grow stronger. Mental and emotional stress can produce tough-mindedness and resiliency. Spiritual testing can produce strength of character and faithfulness. So, you have problems? No problem! Just tell yourself, "There I grow again!"Remember: A smooth sea never made a skilled mariner.21. Who has no problems according to the passage?A. The persons who are very famous.B. The persons who have much money.C. The persons who have been born.D. The persons who are living in the cemeteries.22. In the writer's opinion, ________.A. problems bring us much troubleB. problems have two sides, good or badC. we should try to stay away from any troubleD. the fewer things we do, the less trouble we'll meet23. The reason why lagoon side of the reef has no life is _______.A. it hasn't got any sunlightB. it has less energy than othersC. it never faces any challenge and testsD. it has no work to do every day24. After reading this passage, we should ________.A. regard any problem as challengeB. learn from the lagoon sideC. worry your problemD. enter into cemeteriesBA study of more than five million books, both fiction and non-fiction, has found a marked decline in the use of emotional words over time. The researchers form the University of Bristol used Google Ngram Viewer, a facility for finding the frequency of terms in scanned books, to search for more than 600 particular words identified as representing anger, dislike, fear, joy, sadness and surprise.They found that almost all of the categories showe d a drop in these “mood words” over time. Only in the category of fear was there an increase in usage.“It is a steady and continuous decrease,” said Dr Alberto Acerbi. He assumed that the result might be explained by a change in the position occupied by literature, in a crowded media landscape. “One thing could be that in parallel to books the 20th century saw the start of other media. Maybe these media — movies, radio, drama, had more emotional content than books.”Although both joy and sadness followed the general downwards trend, the research, published in the journal PLOS One, found that they also exhibited another interesting behaviour：the ratio(比率) between the two varied greatly, apparently mirroring historical events.During the Roaring Twenties the joy-to-sadness ratio reached a peak that would not occur again until before the recent financial crash. But the ratio plunged at the height of the Second World War. Nevertheless, the researchers held a reserved opinion about their claim that their result reflected wider social trends. In the paper, they even argue that the reverse could be true.“It has been suggested, for example, that it was the suppression(压抑) of desire in ordinary Elizabethan English life that increased demand for writing …filled with romance and sex‟… perhaps,” they conclude, “songs and books may not reflect the real population any more than catwalk models reflect the average body.”25. The word "decline" (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to_________.A. increaseB. riseC. decreaseD. change26. A study of more than five million books indicated a decrease in “mood words” over timeexcept_______.A. in the use of the words of historical eventsB. in the category of fearC. in the category of literatureD. in the category of joy27. What‟s the main idea of this passage?A. A study of emotional words.B. A study about vocabulary in literature.C. Reasons for the use of emotional words decreases in literature.D. A study on increase in the category of fear.C28.

Colbert County, located in the northwest corner of the state, has its share of exciting stories and claims to statewide fame. The county was created on February 6, 1867, and Tuscumbia became the county seat (the town in which the offices of the county government are located).One of the most famous residents of Tuscumbia was Helen Keller. Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880. Her home was a white frame cottage built by her grandparents. Since ivy (常春藤) grew everywhere, the house was called Ivy Green. It was here, at the water pump in the backyard, that Keller learned the word “w-a-t-e-r” with the help of her teacher, Anne Sullivan. Visitors to Ivy Green can walk under boxwood trees that are 150 years old. The home has furniture that the Keller family used. It also has Keller‟s Braille (盲文) books and her original Braille typewriter.Spring Park is Tuscumbia‟s most popular park and favorite tourist attraction. This park has the world‟s largest manufactured waterfall called Coldwater Falls. The Spring Park Light and Water Show is an amazing sight to see. It takes place every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at sundown. The water appears to dance to music and colored lights. The music played during the show is recorded by singers and musicians from Alabama.Fame Recording Studios is in the city of Muscle Shoals in Colbert County. The studio is the first successful recording studio in Alabama. It is best known for creating “Southern rock,”“Southern soul,” and “county soul.” Well-known performers like Aretha Franklin and musical groups such as Alabama and Lynyrd have made recordings at this studio.Visitors can continue to explore music in Alabama by visiting the Alabama Music Hall of Fame in Tuscumbia. Built in 1990, this site recognizes the musical talents of more than 500Alabama residents in a wide variety of musical styles, including country and rhythm and blues.Truly, Colbert County has a lot of wonderful locations to visit.

Somewent to customers in Italy, but Olivetti exported more typewriters to other countries.Camilllo’s son, Adriano, started working for the company in 1924 and later he became the boss. Heintroduced a standard speed for the production line and he employed technology and designspecialists. The company developed new and better typewriters and the calculators （计算器）. In1959 it produced the ELLA computer system. This was the first mainframe （主机）computerdesigned and made in Italy.After Adriano died in 1960, the company had a period of financial problems. Other companies,especially the Japanese, made faster progress in electronic technology than the Italian company.In 1978, Carlo de Benedetti became the new boss. Olivetti increased its marking and servicenetworks and made agreements with other companies to design and produce more advanced officeequipment. Soon it became one of the world’s leading companies in information technology andcommunications. There are now five independent companies in the Olivetti group --- one forpersonal computers, one for other office equipment, one for systems and service, and two fortelecommunications.1. From the text we learn that__________.A. by 1930 Olivetti produced 13,000 typewriters a yearB. Olivetti earned more in the 1960s than in the 1950sC. some of Olivetti’s 700 staff regularly visited customers in ItalyD. Olivetti set up offices in other countries from the very beginning2.

The Success of OlivettiC. The History of OlivettiD. The Production of OlivettiBCold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.5. What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?A. They are often forgotten by their owners.B. They are used to living outdoors.C. They build their own shelter.D. They like to stay in warm places.6. Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?A. To know when to bring them inside.B. To keep them from eating bad food.C. To help them find shelters.D.

What is the purpose of this text?A. To solve a problem.B. To give practical advice.C. To tell an interesting story.D. To present a research result.CYou may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Let’s start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90°angle (角度) to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out farenough to catch the wind, but it should n’t flap (摆动). It should n’t look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but y ou can’t go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.9. What should you consider first while sailing?A. Sailors’ strengthB. Wave levels.C. Wind directions.D. Size of sails.10. What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The boat.B. The wind.C. The sail.D. The angle.11. What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?A. Move in a straight line.B. Allow the sail to flap.C. Lower the sail.D. Tack the boat.12. Where can you probably find the text?A. In a popular magazine.B. In a tourist guidebook.C. In a physics textbook.D. In an official report.DSports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.An attraction of sport programs for the major U.S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons—the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings(收视率)are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars，business and personal computer, and holiday trips .This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings.Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decision s to buy thousands of “company cars” and computer, with such viewers, these programs don’t need high ratings to stay on the air.13.Television sport programs on weekend afternoons .A. result in more sport eventB. get more viewers to play sportsC. make more people interested in televisionD. bring more money to the television networks14.Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?A. Because there would be few viewersB. Because the advertisers would be off workC. Because television programs would go slowlyD. Because viewers would pay less for watching television15.In many families, men make decision on .A. holidayB. sports viewingC. television shoppingD. expensive purchases16.The ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because .A. their advertisers are carmakersB. their viewers are attracted by sportsC. their advertisers target at rich peopleD. their viewers can afford expensive cars17.What is the passage mainly about?A. Television viewers are determined by male viewersB. Rich viewers contribute most to television companiesC. Sports are gaining importance in advertising on televisionD. Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport eventE (七选五)Hollywood movies are regularly filled with sex and violence. They can be exciting films but sometimes all you want is a little light-hearted entertainment.Have you heard of Bollywood? All singing, all dancing and unrealistic, it is the perfect alternative to normal Hollywood movies. Bollywood is the Indian film industry, based in Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay. 18 Yet Bollywood is the largest producer of films in the world. This year the Indian Filmgare Awards, Bollywood's Oscars, turn 50 years old.The typical Bollywood movie usually has the following ingredients: a cup of romance, a tea-spoon of comedy, a dash of international sight-seeing, served with a huge slice of singing and dancing. There will also be one brave hero, one beautiful heroine and one baddie. 19 Bollywood films are full of ideal things and free of daily worries. 20The actors change clothes and locations within a single song. But the audience don't mind. To Indian movie lovers, especially the poor, such films are a gateway to heaven and the stars are their gods. The films take them to a magical world away from their everyday troubles. The films tell them the impossible is possible and that true love conquers all.21Behind the beautiful scenes, Bollywood still emphasizes traditional family values. In most films, if two lovers want to break an arranged marriage, they can't just run away. They must win over their parents.Bollywood is a decent refreshing replacement for those over-stimulating Hollywood films. 22They will take you to a brighter, cheerier and more colorful world, where it's still cool to dance around a tree and sing a love song.A．Bollywood has gradually won its reputation on the world stage.B．There is never any mention of politics, poverty or war.C．Most Chinese school kids have probably never seen an Indian film.D．Bollywood films are mostly comic romances with light-hearted incidental music.E. Bollywood pays great attention to traditional values.F．The result is a fun-filled musical.G．So if you're tired of all that Hollywood actions, check out the following Bollywood films.第二部分完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）Most people give little thought to the pens they write with, especially since the printers in modern homes and offices mean that very 16 things are handwritten.

河北省武邑中学高考英语一轮复习第45期55分钟课堂练习 (2)

河北省武邑中学2015届高考英语一轮复习第45期55分钟课堂练习第一部分阅读理解AOn a number of drives throughout my childhood, my mother would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle from tragedy while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car.Though Mother’s Day follows Earth Day, for me, they have always been related to each other. My mom has been “green” since she became concerned about the environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift (节俭). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.Mom creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife in her yard. She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders(给食器) out at night, it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons (浣熊). Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in the garden.I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions (蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mom didn’t need to lecture; she didn’t need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct for protection.I am slowing down and it isn’t because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet, it is out of my concern for the planet itself. I’ve begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with a sweetness I immediately wanted to share with my mom.1. Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mother’s Day?A. Because Mother’s Day always falls shortly after Earth Day.B. To stress that all the women in her family are environmentalists.C. To stress how much her mother cares about the environment.D. Because her mother shows her concern to nature on Mother’s Day.2. Which of the following is NOT related to Mom’s “green life”?A. Rescuing a beetle from a certain tragedy.B. Saving glass jars, empty cheese containers.C. Setting a caught spider free in the gardenD. Picking dandelions on busy streets.3. We can infer from the article that ______.A. the author realizes that she should teach her children by example as wellB. the author’s mother knows how to get rid of the wildlife in her yardC. the author believes that only by learning to slow down can we enjoy lifeD. the author’s mother used to lecture her to protect the environment.4. What can be learned from the last paragraph?A. Tomatoes make the author think of her mother.B. The author likes eating tomatoes planted by herself.C. Planting tomatoes is a way of protecting environment.D. The author really appreciates her mother’s teaching.BHigh-quality customer service is preached（宣扬）by many, but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done.Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store(零售店), but instead will warn their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers and anyone who will listen. Store managers are often the last to hear complaints. “Storytelling hurts retailers(零售商) and entertains consumers,” said Paula Courtney, President of the Verde group. “The store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement.”The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered（塞满了的）shelves, overloaded racks, out-of-stock items, long check-out lines, and rude sales people.During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved the parking problems by getting part-time local police to work as parking attendants to direct customers to empty parking spaces. Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store display, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions. Most importantly, sales people should be skillful and polite with angry customers.“Retailers who’re enthusiastic and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those who aren’t so friendly.” said Professor Stephen Hoch. “Maybe something as a greeter at the store entrance would help.”Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filling complaints to the retailer, instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.5. Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints?A. Most shoppers won’t complain even if they have had unhappy experiences.B. It is difficult for customers to have easy access to store mangers.C. Few customers believe the service will be improved after their complaints.D. Shoppers would rather tell their unhappy experiences to people around them.6. What does Paula Courtney imply by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?A. The same products can be bought in other retail stores.B. It is not likely the shopper can find the same products in other stores.C. There is a great chance that new customers are to replace old ones.D. Not complaining to the manager causes the shopper some trouble too.7. What contributes most to smoothing over issues with customers?A. Hiring of efficient employees.B. Manners of the salespeople.C. Huge supply of goods for sale.D. Design of the store display.8. To achieve better shopping experiences, customers are advised to ______.A. voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directlyB. settle their disagreements with stores in a friendly wayC. put pressure on stores to improve their serviceD. shop around and make comparisons between storesCAlth ough being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities—famous people—worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and al one.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.9. It can be learned from the passage that stars today_______.A. are often misunderstood by the publicB. can no longer have their privacy protectedC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have come into fame10. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.11. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A. Availability of modern media.B. Inadequate social recognition.C. Lack of favorable chances.D. Huge population of fans.12. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sincere.B. Skeptical.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.DHolding a cell phone against your ear or storing it in your pocket may be dangerous to your health. This explains a warning that cell phone manufacturers include in the small print that is often ignored when a new phone is purchased. Apple, for example, doesn’t want iPhones to come closer to you than 1.5 centimeters; Research In Motion, BlackBerry’s manuf acturer, recommends 2.5 centimeters.If health issues arise from cell phone use, the possible effects are huge. Voice calls —Americans chat on cell phones 2.26 trillion(万亿)minutes annually—earn $109 billion for the wireless carriers.Devra Davis, an expert who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about cell phone radiation, “Disconnect.” The book sur veys scientific research and concludes the question is not settled.Brain cancer is a concern that Ms. Davis examines. Over all, there has not been an increase in its incidence since cell phones arrived. But the average masks an increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older population.“Most cancers have multiple causes,” she says, but she points to laboratory research that suggests low-energy radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer.Children are more vulnerable(易受伤的) to radiation than adults, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. Radiation that penetrates only five centimeters into the brain of an adult will reach much deeper into the brains of children because their skulls are thinner and their brains contain more absorptive fluid(易吸收的液体). No studies have yet been completed on cell phone radiation and children, she says.Henry Lai, a research professor in the bioengineering department at the University of Washington, began laboratory radiation studies in 1980 and found that rats exposed to radiation had damaged DNA in their brains.Ms. Davis recommends using wired headsets or the phone’s speaker. Children should text rather than call, she said, and pregnant women should keep phones away from the abdomen(腹部).13. Why do children easily be affected by radiation?A. Because they haven’t grown up.B. Because they are too young to protect themselves.C. Because they use cell phones more often than adults.D. Because their skulls are thinner and their brains are easily hurt.14. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A. Pregnant women should keep cell phones away.B. People should use cell phones in the correct way.C. If you are a child, you’d better text than make phone calls.D. When you use a cell ph one, use a wired headset or the phone’s speaker.15. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Be careful when using cell phones.B. Don’t hold your cell phone against your ear.C. Rats exposed to radiation have damaged DNA in their brains.D. Low-energy radiation c ould damage cells that could lead to cancer.EAfrica is a very diverse land with many different tribes. One tradition that many of these groups share is painting or marking their bodies and faces in color. They do this for many reasons. Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group.___ 16___ Let’s look at some different examples of body painting.___17____ Among the Masai of East Africa, when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people, they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red. This ceremony take place every seven to fourteen years, so there is not an exact age for participating in it. The Samburu, also from East Africa, like to paint their faces and hair red because they think it looks attractive.___18____ To show that he has killed a lion, a man will paint his body with a natural white material, making special marks to represent this accomplishment. The Masai men also use this white to show that they are on longer boys and are considered adults.One quite unusual example of face painting is done by the Wodaabe people of West Africa. Once a year, they have a beauty contest for men. ___19___ Then they add white and black circles and lines. Black paint is used near the eyes and on the lips to draw attention to the whiteness of their eyes and teeth, which the Wodaabe consider most beautiful.___ 20___.As you travel, enjoy the beautiful and bright colors of Africa.A．Red is the common color in body painting because it often represents health and long life. B．Other marks are used for ceremonies such as weddings and during times of war. C．The ceremony expresses hope for rain.D．The Masai men also have a unique way of showing that they are brave.E. The women then decide which man they like best.F. The men pretend to fight each other.G. The men paint their faces yellow and red.第二部分完形填空I learned about life from an ant farm.

Actor William Shatner, who is no stranger to futuristic tech, recently purchased two e-bikes for him and his wife.“I’ve been shopping for an e-bike now for a few weeks, and I’ve had my eye on the folding electric bike. I had folding bikes in the past and love the convenience of being able to throw my bike into my car.”The e-bike market is ready to go mainstream in the U.S. The price for e-bikes has come down greatly in recent months. At one time, most e-bikes with good components and proper weight were in the ＄3，000 range. Now you can find reasonable quality e-bikes in the ＄1,000 range. With gas prices at all-time highs, e-bikes are an attractive, low-cost option to gas efficient vehicles.E-bike owners are finding that they are great for commuting to work, as traditional bikes can be a problem with office dress and sweat．People who use e-bikes range from commuters to casual cyclers who like a little help with hills and wind, to those who decided to save money on buying a motor bike．These are not for the serious road cycler or professional mountain biker．If you’re co nsidering all e-bike, it pays to do some research first. Cheaper e-bikes are going to be heavier and have less battery power．Higher priced bikes will be made from lighter materials and have better batteries．Another consideration is local motor vehicle laws. For example，according to US federal law，as long as your electric bike is under 750 watts and does not go over 20 MPH then it is a bicycle and not a motor vehicle. Most consumer e-bikes in the ＄1,000 range don’t fit themotorized vehicle description．31. The writer introduces William Shatner as an example in order to_______________．A．show that he is wild about the future technologyB．tell us that he is an agent for the e-bike marketC．tell us that actors care only convenience rather than the price D．show that e-bikes are really becoming popular now32. According to the text，e-bikes are practical for_______________．A．serious road cyclers B．couples spending a holiday C．people commuting to work D．professional mountain bikers33. Which of the following about e-bikes is true?A．The cheaper e-bikes are usually made of lighter materials．B．Most e-bikes in the ＄l，000 range are a bicycle, not a motor vehicle．C．Local motor vehicle law doesn’t have any limit to e-bikes．D．E-bikes in the ＄l，000 range are too cheap to have better batteries．34. What is the best title for this passage?A．E-bike Sales to Shift into Mainstream in 20l3 B．E-bikes，the Future Way of TransportationC．E-bikes Vs Gas Vehicles D．E-bikes，Actors’ First ChoiceBMy grandfather had a small farm where he raised beef and some grain for feed. He also worked diligently as a factory laborer. He was a good neighbor and well-respected for honoring his word. When harvest time came, he’d piece together his old corn picker and oil it up for the season. All his life he worked hard, helped others, and you could count on him to keep his promises.He had promised to harvest corn on a friend’s farm, but after harvesting his own corn, Grandpa’s little corn picker coughed and quit. It would be out of commission until a particular part could be ordered, but that would take far too long to help this year. The factory where Grandpa worked began to require overtime. In order to keep his job there he had to leave the farm before dawn and get home until well after sunset.One autumn night, while harvest time was running out, he and his wife sat at the kitchen table and trying to figure a way out of their dilemma (进退两难的境地).“There’s nothing you can do,” said my grandma. “You’ll just have to te ll him that you can’t help with the corn this year.”“Well that just doesn’t sit well with me,” said my grandpa. “My friend is depending on me. I can’t exactly let my neighbor’s harvest rot in the field, can I?”“When do you think you’d have time to do it?” she asked. “With the overtime you’ve been working you’d be up all night.”“I know of one night that I could do it!” he said, running to the bookshelf. He grabbed the Farmer’s Almanac(历书) and started flipping through the pages. “Aha! There’s still one mor e full moon in October.” They say it’s called the harvest moon because it gives farmers more light and more time to collect their crops.And so days later, after a long shift at the factory, my grandpa made his way to the field where my grandma met him in the truck with dinner. It was cold but clear, and the moon was brilliant. He worked through the night to keep his word.I know this story well, so sometimes, when I attempted to cut corners or to put off responsibilities, I think of my grandfather with his scythe (大镰刀) cutting wide arcs of corn in the light of the harvest moon.35. Which was the main trouble my grandfather had in helping his friend?A. His wife objected to his helping his friend.B. His corn picker ran out of oil.C. His corn picker broke down.D. The weather was not favorable.36. Which of the following can NOT be concluded from the passage?A. My grandfather cared about his work in the factory very much.B. My grandmother supported my grandfather’s decision to harvest th e friend’s corn at the full moon night.C. My grandfather must have stayed up all night to help his friend harvest.D. My grandfather didn’t manage to help his friend in time.37. What kind of quality in the grandfather had the most influence on the writer?A. A person should be responsible.B. A person should be generous.C. A person should be selfless.D. A person should be diligent.38. The passage mainly intends to tell us that .A. helping others is helping ourselvesB. we should be generous with our timeC. keep your promise whatever happensD. we should be well-prepared for what hasn’t happenedCSunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant. A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work weekshould strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other? These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, days and years but unless we meet the truant officer (学监) , we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents’ demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working,” but less familiar with the fact that what makes up “overtime” is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action?” As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how to organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, anddaylight-saving law as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and rate.39. By saying “Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be,” the writer means that __________.A. work time is equal to rest timeB. many people have a day off on Monday,C. it is hard for people to decide when to restD. the line between work time and rest time is unclear40. The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people__________.A. fail to make full use of their timeB. enjoy working overtime for extra payC. are unaware of the law of timeD. welcome flexible working hours41. According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they_____.A. need to acquire knowledgeB. have to obey their parentsC. need to find companionsD. have to observe the law42 What is the main idea of the passage?A. Our life is governed by the law of time.B. How to organize time is not worth debating.C. New ways of using time change our society.D. Our time schedule is decided by social customsDWhy are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body.Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract (消化道), where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.To stop this terrible circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize (中和) the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach.43. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To advocate eating more raw and whole foods.B. To tell the differences between raw and processed foods.C. To inform people of the harm of processed foods.D. To warn people of the problem of obesity.44. It can be inferred from Para. 2 that __________.A. it is essential for people to protect their vital organsB. foods with natural enzymes help people keep fitC. we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foodsD. giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle45. What do es “it” refer to in Paragraph 2?A. The body.B. The acidC. The acid wasteD. fat46. What is likely to be talked about following the last paragraph?A. Active approaches to avoid acid.B. Different causes of acid accumulation.C. Correct ways to cook raw foods.D. Suitable types of raw and whole foods.七选五Going on holiday should be an exciting moment. 47 _______ Here are some suggestions as to how you can stop that from being the case and make the whole experience a little more enjoyable.Choose Wisely The first way to make sure you have a comfortable flight is of course to choose your ticket carefully48_______ Many flights let you book your seat ahead of time so you’d better check in early or look online early and make sure you get it with the most space for your legs.Relax 49 _______ People just can’t associate being on a plane with being comfortable and they tend to think that the experience is going to be unpleasant. Remember that tossing and turning won’t make you any more comfortable and instead just focus on the fact that you are sitting down without a care in the world during at least the period of the flight.50 _______Medication If you do get travel sick then this is of course not conductive (有益的) to your comfort. 51 _______ The other kind of medication that might help you relax and sleep quickly could be anti-anxiety if you are nervous about flight or sleeping tablets.A.Take some travel medication before the flight if this is the case.B.Think long and hard about the airline you are going to fly with andthe seat you are going to book.C.It is actually unnecessary to worry about how to make a long flightcomfortable.D.In fact, the biggest problem with people on planes is thepsychological factor.E.Avoid booking a seat beside a window in case you are dizzy.F.But many of us feel an amount of anxiety because the trip might belong while you still have to get there.G.It is a rare opportunity now to just relax and read a book. Woman: Good morning.Man:Good morning. Er…I’m looking for a place 61 _____ (rent) near the university.Woman: What are you looking for, a house, a flat, 62 ______ a room?

河北省武邑中学高考英语一轮复习第40期55分钟课堂练习

河北省武邑中学2015届高考英语一轮复习第40期55分钟课堂练习第一节;阅读理解AIn my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “Bloom (开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.Dorothy taught in a school In Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy’s classroom. I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). In case you don’t know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph. D. degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a familyheirloom (传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things. (360 words)1.“Early Childhood Development” in Paragraph 1 refers to __________.A. a program directed by DorothyB. a course given by the authorC. an activity held by the studentsD. an organization sponsored by Union college2. In the journey, the author was most disappointed at seeing __________.A. the long trackB. the poor housesC. the same trainD. the winding road3. Upon arriving at the classroom, the author was cheered up by __________.A. a warm welcomeB. the sight of poke greensC. Dorothy’s latest projectsD. a big dinner made for her4.

However poor you are, you have the right to education,D. Wherever you are, you can accomplish your achievement.BIt's such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm－tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it's pedestrian－friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach Country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.It's a library built with love.A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin－based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That's what we're going to do for our spring break！”Son Austin, now a 10th－grader, didn't see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51－year －old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he'd built years earlier for daughter Abbie's toy horses, and made a door of glass.After adding the library's final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book，” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2，500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.They stocked it with 20 or so books they'd already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids' favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again，” said Janey, a stay－at－home mom.Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.The project's best payoff, says Peter, are the thank－you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”6．In what way is the library “ped estrian-friendly”？A. It owns a yellow roof.B. It stands near a sidewalk.C. It protects book lovers from the sun.D. It uses palm-tree stickers as decorations. 7．Janey got the idea to build a library from ________．A. a visit to Brian WilliamsB. a spring break with her familyC. a book sent by one of her neighborsD. a report on a Wisconsin－based organization8．The library was built ________．A. by a ship supply companyB. on the basis of toy horsesC. like a mailboxD. with glass9．What can we infer about the signboard?A. It was made by a user of the library.B. It marked a final touch to the library.C. It aimed at making the library last long.D. It indicated the library was a family property10.The passage tells us that the users_________A:donate books to the libraryB:get paid to collect books for the libraryC:receive thank-you notes for using the libraryD:visit the library over 5 times on average dailyCWhich are you more likely to have with you at any given moment—your cellphone or your wallet? Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner.In January，Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6,800 of its stores.This is the first paybyphone practice in the U．S.，but we're likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication(NFC)gets into America's consumer st December，some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public.Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe，NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminal—a contactfree system built for speed and convenience.But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U．S.，a few problems need to be worked out，like who will get to collect the profitable transaction(交易)fees.Although some credit card provide rs have been experimenting with waveandpay systems that use NFCenabled credit cards，cellphone service providers may try to muscle their way into the pointofsale(POS)market.Three big cellphone service providers have formed a joint venture(合资企业)that wi ll go into operation over the next 15 months.Its goal is“to lead the U．S. payments industry from cards to mobile phone.”The other big NFC issue，apart from how payments will be processed，is security.For instance，what's to stop a thief from digitally pick pocketing you? “We're still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone，”says Jimmy Shah，a mobile security researcher，“Users may also be able to set transaction limits，perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.”Still uneasy about this digitalwallet business？Keep in mind that if you lose your smart phone，it can be located on a map and remotely disabled.Plus，your phone can be password protected.Your wallet isn't.11．What is predicted to happen in the U．S.?A．The expansion of cellphone companies. B．The boom of paybyphone business.C．The disappearance of credit cards. D．The increase of Starbucks sales. 12．The NFC technology can be used to________.A．ensure the safety of shoppers B．collect transaction fees easilyC．make purchase faster and simpler D．improve the quality of cellphones 13．Three cellphone service providers form a joint venture to________.A. strengthen their relationshipB. get a share in the payments industryC. sell more cellphonesD. test the NFC technology14．According to the passage，what can users do if they lose their smart phones?A. Stop the functioning of their phones.B. Set up a password.C. Get all the money out of their phones.D. Cancel large purchasesDA Book Review — The SnakeStone by Berlie DohertyThe setting: Urban England (the cities), but also rural England (the countryside) including remote English villages.The theme: The main theme is a teenage search of selfdiscovery, in this case the search for a mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age.

The only clue he has is a fossil, ‘the snake stone’ which she left behind along with a note on which she had written，‘Take good care of Sammie.’ It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there.The journey：Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets, Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a stranger's door fifteen years before.

Now, people in some countries start the meal with lettuce as part of a salad. There are hundreds of kinds of lettuce. The main ones include head lettuce, such as iceberg, leaf lettuce ,Boston, bibb and romaine.Experts say lettuce is one of the easiest crops to grow in your garden. The best time to plant the seeds is during cool weather. The University of Illinois Extension advises that the best planting temperature is 15 0C.Lettuce seeds are small, so do not place them too deep in the ground. If you plant some seeds every week or two, you will have crops ready to eat one after another.To start the seeds inside, you can use a seed tray in your home or other shelter. This container should be deep enough to hold at least three centimeters of soil or more. There should be about one centimeter of space between the soil and the top of the container. The container should have holes in the bottom so the extra water can flow out. Drop the seeds over the surface and cover them lightly with soil. If the soil is not already a little wet, give it some water. But do not drown the seeds.Next, cover the seed tray with paper. When the seedlings have come up far enough to touch the paper, take it off. You can transplant the seedlings into the garden when they are about two to three centimeters tall. Do this when the weather is not too hot and not too cold. Take out as much soil as you can with the seedlings, Then dig a hole in the ground bigger than the lettuce roots. Water the plants but not too heavily.Harvest leaf lettuces when the leaves are big enough to eat. Pull the leaves from the outside of the planting so the inside leaves will keep growing. Or, you can cut off the whole plant. Leave about two orthree centimeters above the ground so the plant will re-grow. Cut off head lettuces at ground level.Lettuce is best when served fresh, so make a salad and enjoy. Experts say lettuce is one of the easiest crops to grow in your garden.5.

Classes are small and individual attention is very important.During the rest of the day students are encouraged to make use of the opportunities to speak and improve their English with the presence of monitors and teachers who will always use English with them.There are three classes in the morning from Monday to Friday. The focus is primarily on spoken English; students will learn functional English to help them in real social situations. Special attention will be given to useful vocabulary for the afternoon’s activities or trip. The course will finish with a group presentation.Maximum number of students in class is 8.

Homework is beneficial to reinforcing language learned during the day so teachers will set some short tasks each night. Students will have opportunity to do these when they choose--after class, before or after meals or at the end of the day.Teachers are native-English speakers from all over the world, graduates, TESOL qualified, and experienced.

Students don’t have lunch together with their teachers.D. Not more than eight students are allowed to learn in a class.DOne of my main concerns when I am helping people achieve their goals is how they measure success. I see individuals getting frustrated as they struggle hard for success.One of the main reasons that cause this frustration is that people allow their definition of success to be determined by someone or something else. Another is that they become frustrated at their own apparent lack of success when comparing themselves to other people.We are individuals with individual wants, skills and experiences. We should look at our own skills to determine what is successful to us. We should look inwards to determine what it would mean for us to be successful in our own mind rather than someone else’s.Evaluating a successful person needs to look at his pathway to success, his acti ons ，his determination and translate that into hisown experience to see how he can improve himself.You must set your own course of action, and stay on your course. You alone must determine what success means to you. Do what you do to the best of your ability and the rest will take care of itself. For example, I believe that I am successful but I am not a millionaire! Others may not see me as successful in their eyes but that does not matter. It is how I see myself that is important to me and my life.Here is the truth. Being a success is doing your best, not being the best. Success is not something you become; it is something you continue being.When we get to that point, we will experience a lot more joy and a lot less frustration. And that sounds good to us!Remember the great quote from Napoleon Hill, “If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.”12.What’s the best title of this passage?A. Frustration Determines SuccessB. The Importance of Frustration to SuccessC. How to Measure SuccessD. Evaluations of a Successful Person13.In terms of success, the writer thinks people feel frustrated because they_____A. struggle too hardB. know little about othersC. are often discouragedD. underestimate themselves14.Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. Success is something you keep on being rather than you become.B. Evaluating a successful person needs to look at others’ judgment.C. It doesn’t matter others may not consider you as a success in their eyes.D. It matters that you set your own course of action and stay on it.15.According to the passage the writer advises us to_____.A. attach the importance to others’ attitude and evaluationB. learn from others ，failureC. set a proper goal and strive to realize itD. l ook at others’ skills to determine what is successful to usECriticism can be divided into two types. __16___ This is the type of criticism that can be the most hurtful. Parents might express their disapproval of your choice in career, friends or lifestyle. People may criticize how you dress or the way you act. It can be terribly unpleasant to tolerate it.The second type of criticism involves pointing out your weaknessesand mistakes. No one is perfect, yet many imperfect people seem to find it extremely easy to “let us know” when we mess up. ___ 17 __And the fact that they are telling us what we already know makes it much more annoying.When people express their disapproval of some area of your life you first need to consider how you feel about it. You need to be secure in who you are and the decisions that you make. __18___Remember that there is a difference between being firm in your choices and being stubborn. Don’t be stubborn. Be mature enough to truly hear what they are saying, even if you don’t agree with it at first. __19___If not, just let it go and trust that they meant well, but what they were saying is not for you. Don’t be mad at them.__20___ Improving yourself works best if you can see yourself from different angles. Other people have different views on what you are doing and can help you. If you are one of those people who just want to learn the hard way, try listening to some advice for a change. It might do you some good.A. In many cases, we already know a lot of what people are saying to us.B. You may come to realize that they have a good view of things and are right.C. There is no need for you to care about others’ criticism.D. The first type is when someone expresses their disapproval.E. Bear in mind that you should never criticize others.F. If your decisions are solid and you firmly belie ve in them, you won’t allow anyone to change your mind.G. If someone is pointing out your mistakes, use it to your advantage.第二部分完型填空Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that we are right and others are wrong. Many people believe that it’s their job to 21 others how their positions, statements, and points of view are 22 , and that in doing so, the person they are correcting is going to somehow 23 it, or at least learn something.

We all want our positions to be 28 and understood by others. Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest 29 of the human heart. And those who learn to 30 are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the 31 of correcting others are often hated and 32 .A wonderful way for becoming more peaceful and loving is to practise33 others the joy of being right—give them the glory. 34correcting. When someone says, “I really feel it’s important to…”, rather than jumping 35 and saying, “No, it’s more important to…”, simply let it go and allow their statement to 36 . The people in your life will become less defensive and more 37 . They will appreciate you more than you could ever have 38 .

河北省武邑中学2015届高考英语一轮复习第35期55分钟课堂练习第一部分阅读理解AThe name might sound like that of a superhero, but Pooperman’s task is much more basic.He, or she, is trying to shame the irresponsible dog owners of Lincoln into cleaning up behind their pets.Pooperman sticks notes into dog waste that owners have failed to clean up, warning them not to do it again. The typed notes read: “Don’t leave it. You might be the one who steps in it the next time you walk this way.”While welcoming the purpose of the message, local government officers have rounded on Pooperman for producing even more rubbish.They say they would prefer it if people told them when there was a problem rather than adding to the rubbish problem. The City of Lincoln government’s environmental officer, Tony Garner, said: “The public can help instead by observing dog owners to make sure they clean up after their pets, perhaps asking them to remove the waste if they try to leave it.”“If this doesn’t work we can take action---- people can call us who the owner is, give us a description of the owner and the dog, or simply tell us when and where they allow their dog to produce the waste.”“We can then focus our patrols(巡逻) and take action against irresponsible owners.”Sue Grace, a dog owner from Birchwood, Lincs, said: “I always clean up after my dog, it’s very irresponsible if you don’t.”“There’s nothing worse than stepping in dog waste or dragging your long lead thro ugh it, but I don’t know that putting notes on it is the answer.”“It’s good that the local government is fighting against dog waste, though it might take one or two prosecutions(起诉) to make any difference.”1. What does Pooperman try to do?A. To have irresponsible dog owners remove dog waste.B. To advise the local government to protect the environment.C.

According to the environmental officer, the public can _______ .A. punish irresponsible dog owners when necessary.B. report irresponsible dog owners to the police if possible.C. force irresponsible dog owners to clean up dog waste in some way.D. request irresponsible dog owners to clean up dog waste then and there.4.

CTeaching parents to switch channels from violent shows to educational TV can improve preschoolers’ behavior, even without getting them to watch less, a study found.“It’s not just about turning off the television. It’s about changing the channel. What children watch is as important as how much they watch,” said lead author Dr. Dimitri Christakis, a pediatrician (儿科医生) and researcher at Seattle Children’s Research Institute.The study involved 565 Seattle parents, who periodically filled out TV-watching diaries and questionnaires measuring their child’s beh avior.Half were guided for six months on getting their 3-to-5-year-old kids to watch shows like “Sesame Street”, “Bob the Builder,” “Clifford the Big Red Dog” and “Dora the Explorer” rather than “Happy Tree Friends” or “Power Rangers”. The results were co mpared with kids whose parents who got advice on healthy eating instead.At six months, children in both groups showed improved behavior, but there was a little bit more improvement in the group that was coached on their TV watching.By one year, there was no meaningful difference between the two groups overall. Low-income boys appeared to get the most short-term benefit.“That’s important because they are at the greatest risk, both for being perpetrators of aggression(侵害) in real life, but also being victi ms of aggression,” Christakis said.The study also has some weakness—the parents weren’t told the purpose of the study, but they probably figured it out and that might have affected the results. Though the results were modest and faded over time, they may hold promise for finding ways to help young children avoid aggressive, violent behavior.9. The passage is written to _________A. describe kids’ different behaviorB. inform parents of their kids’ behaviorC. persuade parents not to let kids watch TVD. offer some useful tips to improve kids’ behavior10. The word ”Perpetrators” in Paragraph 7 probably refers to _______.A. people who do something wrong or bad.B. people who suffer a lot in real life.C. victims who are killed in a fight.D. criminals who are sentenced to death.11. What does the author think of the study?A. Imperfect but valuable.B. Perfect but time-consuming.C. Lengthy and useless.D. Meaningful and perfect.DThe majority of physicists once believed that the universe’s expansion was slowing down. In 1998, they were proven completely wrong. Though it flies in the face of scientific theory, the universe is expanding at an ever-increasing rate.One possible explanation is that empty space has a thing called dark energy, which supposedly makes up about three quarters of the universe. Dark energy supposedly very sparsely(稀疏地) exists in such a way that it interacts with other objects only through attracting force. It has a strong negative pressure, which causes it to pull on its surroundings and as a result, pull apart the universe. This neatly explains the universe’s expansion without completely changing our understanding of the universe. Scientists can merely claim that dark energy “should” exist.According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, it is impossible to travel faster than at the speed of light.With this in mind, physicists set out to do the impossible and succeeded. In 2000, scientists in Princeton, New Jersey sent a small pulse(脉冲) of laser light through a vapor made up of gaseous cesium(铯). The pulse traveled so quickly that it was already leaving the vapor-filled chamber as it was still entering, roughly 300 times faster than it would have in a vacuum(真空). Thus, light moved faster than the speed of light.Other experiments have since managed to conquer light’s supposed speed limit, though all claims have had fine print that keeps them from being especially groundbreaking(创新的). Those seeking to truly prove Einstein wrong must instead turn to objects like black holes, which could theoretically cause things to move at faster-than-light speeds. Black holes have been proven to be particularly uncooperative test subjects though, and for now this remains a guess.12. What did the scientists think before 1998?A. The universe would expand more slowly.B. Empty space was full of dark energy.C. The universe would expand faster.D. There was nothing in the space.13. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Three fourths of the universe is made up of dark energy.B. Dark energy has a positive pressure because of its surroundings.C. We have changed our understanding of the universe.D. Dark energy has been discovered.14. From the fourth paragraph, we know that the scientists found ______ .A. a vapourB. a vacuum.C. something traveling faster than light.D. a small pulse of laser light.15. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The pulse traveled exactly 300 times faster than light.B. Obje cts like black holes haven’t been found.C. It is impossible to exceed the speed of light.D. Einstein’s theory of relativity is wrong.EThe benefits of keeping a journal (日志)If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me. 16 Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal.◆ It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down?17 But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my compu ter, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.◆ It helps you review all the lessons (教训) you’ve learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten. 18 You can use the ideas to propel (鞭策) yourself forward.◆19 After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might s eem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today.◆ It helps you expand (扩展) your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it. 20 At the end, you will expand第二部分完形填空Are you happy? Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you seeking happiness today?Many people have _21_ a variety of sources for their feelings of happiness. Some have put their heart and effort into their work. Too many have turned to drugs and alcohol. Untold numbers have looked for it in the possession of expensive cars, exotic vacation homes, and other popular “toys”. Most of their efforts have a _22_ in one common fact: people are looking for a(n) _23_ source of happiness.Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes many people because they _24_ the process and journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that, “I’ll be happy when I get my new promotion.” or “I’ll be happy when I lose that _25_ 20 pounds.” The list goes on and on. You probably have a few of your own you could _26_ if you wanted.This thinking is _27_ because it presupposes(预先假定) that happiness is a “response” to having, being or doing something. In life, we all _28_ stimulus(刺激) and response.Stimulus is when a dog barks at you and bares his teeth. Response is when your heart beats faster, your palms get sweaty and you _29_ to run. Today, some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief _30_ us thinking and feeling: “I’ll be happy when…”It has been my finding that actually the _31_ is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly _32_. When we are happy, we _33_ to have more success in our work. When we are happy, people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationship. When we are happy, we more _34_ take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is NOT a response---_35_, it is a stimulus.Happiness is a conscious _36_ we make every day of our lives. For unknown reasons to me, many choose to be painful, unsuccessful and angry most of the time. Happiness is _37_ something that happens to us after we get something we want---we usually get things we want _38_ we choose to be happy.I have made only one _39_ rule for my own happiness: Every day above ground is a GOOD day. _40_, I tend to have a lot of good and happy days continually.21.

So, you have to give a speech---- and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble（结结巴巴）over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, ―Thank goodness, it is over. I am just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.Cheep up! 77 Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gatheras many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easyto follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 78 . Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief.79 . And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience. If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches. ! You’re not convinced yet?_80._A. It doesn’t have to be that bad.B.
