江苏省泰兴市第三高级中学2014届高三英语一轮复习限时训练10第一部分：完形填空New genetic analysis has revealed that many Amazon tree species are likely to survive human-made climate warming in the coming century, contrary to previous findings that temperature increases would cause them to die out. A study, 36 in the latest edition of Ecology and Evolution, reveals the 37 age of some Amazonian tree species -- more than 8 million years -- and 38 shows that they have survived previous periods as warm as many of the global warming imagined periods 39 for the year 2100.The authors write that, having survived warm periods in the past, the trees will40 survive future warming, provided there are no other major environmental changes.41 extreme droughts and forest fires will impact Amazonia as temperatures 42 , the trees will stand the direct impact of higher temperatures. The authors 43 that as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions to minimize the risk of drought and fire, conservation policy should remain 44 on preventing deforestation（采伐森林）for agriculture and mining.The study disagrees with other recent researches which predicted tree species’ extinctions 45 relatively small increases in global average air temperatures. Study co-author Dr Simon Lewis (UCL Geography) said the 46 were good news for Amazon tree species, but warned that drought and over-exploitation of the forest remained major 47 to the Amazon’s future.Dr Lewis said: “The past cannot be compared directly with the future. while tree species seem likely to 48 higher air temperatures than today, the Amazon forestis being transformed for agriculture and 49 , and what remains is being degraded by logging, and increasingly split up by fields and roads.“Species will not move as freely in today’s Amazon as they did in previous warm periods, when there was no human 50 . Similarly, today’s climate change is extremely fast, making comparisons with slower changes in the past 51 .”“With a clearer 52 of the relative risks to the Amazon forest, we 53 that direct human impacts -- such as forest clearances for agriculture or mining -- should remain a key point of conservation policy. We also need more aggressive 54 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to make minimum the risk of drought and fire impacts and 55 the future of most Amazon tree species.”36.

And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forbears fought are still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs（继承人）of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe (enemy) alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.Let every nation know whether it wishes us well or ill that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge (promise solemny) and more.In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility. I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotionwhich we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.And so, my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the Freedom of Man.Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be our own.56. What should friends and foes know?A. That the United States is powerful.B. That a new generation of Americans are responsible for their government.C. That the United States is governed by liberals.D. The rights of man come from the hand of God.57. What is Kennedy’s promise to the world?A. To support liberty.B. To abolish all forms of human poverty.C. To visit each country at least once.D. To support and friend.BWhat's the one word of advice a well-meaning professional would give to a recent college graduate? China! India! Brazil! How about trade!When the Commerce Department reported last week that the trade deficit (赤字) in June approached $50 billion, it set off a new round of economic doomsaying（末日说）. Imports, which increasedto $200.3 billion in the month, are subtracted in the calculation of gross domestic product. The larger the trade deficit, the smaller the GDP. Should such imbalances continue, pessimists say, they could contribute to slower growth. But there's another way of looking at the trade data. Over the past two years, the figures on imports and exports seem not to signal a double-dip recession –a renewed decline in the broad level of economic activity in the United States –but an economic expansion.The rising volume of trade – more goods and services shuttling in and out of the United States –is good news for many sectors. Companies engaged in shipping, trucking,rail freight, delivery, and logistics (物流) have all been reporting better than expected results. The rising numbers shows growing vitality in foreign markets –when we import more stuff, it puts more cash in the hands of people around the world, and U.S. exports are rising because more foreigners have the ability to buy the things we produce and market. The rising tide of trade is also good news for people who work in trade-sensitive businesses, especially those that produce commodities for which global demand sets the price – agricultural goods, mining, metals, oil.And while exports always seem to lag, U.S. companies are becoming more involved in the global economy with each passing month. General Motors sells as many cars in China as in America each month. While that may not do much for imports, it does help GM's balance sheet – and hence makes the jobs of U.S.-based executives more stable. One great challenge for the U.S. economy is slack domestic consumer demand. Americans are paying down debt, saving more, and spending more carefully. That's to be expected, given what we've been through. But there's a bigger challenge. Can U.S.-based businesses, large and small, figure out how to get a piece of growing global demand? Unless you want to pick up and move to India, or Brazil, or China, the best way to do that is through trade. It may seem obvious, but it's no longer enough simply to do business with our friends and neighbors here at home.Companies and individuals who don't have a strategy to export more, or to get more involved in foreign markets, or to play a role in global trade, are shutting themselves out of the lion's share of economic opportunity in our world.60. How do pessimists interpret the U.S. trade deficit in June?A. It reflects Americans' preference for imported goods.B. It signifies a change in American economic structure.C. It is the result of America's growing focus on domestic market.D. It could lead to slower growth of the national economy.61. What does the author say about the trade data of the past two years?A. It indicates that economic activities in the U.S. have increased.B. It shows that U.S. economy is slipping further into recession.C. It signals decreasing domestic demand for goods and services.D. It reflects the fluctuations in the international market.CA MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth. Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions forstudents and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said; "We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook."We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we've secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda."At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures. " Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. " Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop, it was amazing," he said, " We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon. "The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment. Kieran said: " It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August. "The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury. For details visit .64. According to the passage, the forum focused on how youth can ____.A. build up their confidence at schoolB. find work experience opportunitiesC. improve their social skills for the futureD. play an active role in the change of society65. We can learn from the passage that _____.A. the visit to the United Kingdom was amazingB. Kieran has made great progress in many aspectsC. the youth have found a way to solve their problemsD. the mentoring sessions are held every day except Friday66. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Alex Goldberg, Founder of Young InspirationsB. Young People Find a World of OpportunityC. Kieran, Banbury School Pupil to ParisD. Debates Help Youth with Their GradesDIn 1974, after filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I look what I could get — a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area: western New Jersey. My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen -- teaching English.School started, but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country. Was this rural area really New Jersey? My students have a week off when hunting season began.I was told they were also frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms. I was a young woman from New York City, who thought that “Make hay while the sun shin es” just meant to have a good time.But, still, I was teaching English. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-grade class -- seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years younger than me. I had a problem long before I knew it. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love of the written word. The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room.In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did, confident that, as the textbook had said, the bad behavior would disappear as I gave ray students positive attention. It sounds reasonable, but the text evidently ignored the fact that humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem reasonable. By the time ray boss, who was also ray taskmaster known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.My boss sat in the back of the room. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasn’t happening, an d went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of the room, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes he left, silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes.I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period I had to face him. I wondered if he would let me finish out the day. I walked to his office, took a deep breath, and opened the door.He was sitting in his chair, and he looked at me long and hard. I said nothing. All I could think of was that I was not an English teacher; I had been lying to myself, pretending that everything was fine.When he spoke, he said simply, without accusation, “You had nothing to say to them.”“You had nothing to say to them," he repeated. “No wonder they’re bored. Why not get to the meal of the literature and stop talking about symbolism. Talk with them, not at them. And more important, why do you ignore their bad behavior?” We talked. He named the problems and offered solutions. We role-played. He was the bad student, and I was the forceful, yet, warm, teacher.As the year progressed, we spent many hours discussing literature and ideas about human beings and their motivations. He helped me identify my weaknesses and mystrengths. In short, he made a teacher of me by teaching me the reality of Emerson's words: “The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil.”Fifteen years later I still drive that same winding road to the same school. Thanks to the help I received that difficult first year, the school is my home now.67. It can be inferred from the story that in 1974 ______.A. the writer became an optimistic personB. the writer was very happy about her new jobC. it was rather difficult to get a job in the USAD. it was easy to get a teaching job in New Jersey68. According to the passage, which of the following is most probably the writer’s problem as a new teacher?A. She had blind trust in what she learnt at college.B. She didn’t ask ex perienced teachers for advice.C. She took too much time off to eat and sleep.D. She didn’t like teaching English literature.69. The students behaved badly in the writer's classes because ______.A. they were eager to embarrass herB. she didn't really understand themC. they didn't regard her as a good teacherD. she didn’t have a good command of English70. The taskmaster’s attitude towards the writer after his observation of her class can be best described as ______.A. cruel but encouragingB. fierce but forgivingC. sincere and supportiveD. angry and aggressive第三部分：任务型阅读Born to WinEach human being is born as something unique, something that never existed before. Each person is born with what he needs to win at life. A normal person can see, hear, touch, taste, and think for himself. Each has his own unique potentials---his capabilities and limitations. Each can be an important, thinking, aware, and creatively productive person in his own right---a winner.The words "winner" and "loser" have many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean one who defeats the other person by dominating and making him lose. Instead a winner is one who responds honestly by being trustworthy and responsive, both as an individual and as a member of a society. A loser is one who fails to respond honestly.A winner is not afraid to do his own thinking and to use his own knowledge. He can separate facts from opinion and doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. He listens to others, evaluates what they say, but comes to his own conclusions.A winner is flexible. He does not have to respond in known, rigid ways. He can change his plans when the situation calls for it. A winner has a love for life. He enjoys work, play, food, other people, and the world of nature. Without guilt he enjoys his own accomplishments. Without envy he enjoys the accomplishments of others.A winner cares about the world and its people. He is not separated from thegeneral problems of society. He tries to improve the quality of life. Even in the face of national and international difficulty, he does not see himself as helpless. He does what he can to make the world a better place.Although people are born to win, they are also born totally dependent on their environment. Winners successfully make the change from dependence to independence, losers do not. Somewhere along the line losers begin to avoid becoming independent. This usually begins in childhood. Poor nutrition, cruelty, unhappy relationships, disease, continuing disappointments, and inadequate physical care are among the many experiences that contribute to making people losers.A loser is held back by his low capacity to appropriately express himself through a full range of possible behavior. He may be unaware of other choices for his life if the path he chooses goes nowhere. He is afraid to try new things. He repeats not only his own mistakes and often repeats those of his family and culture.A loser has difficulty giving and receiving love. He does not enter into close, honest, direct relationships with others. Instead, he tries to manipulate them into living up to his expectations and channels his energies into living up to their expectations.71. __________ 72. __________ 73. ___________ 74. __________ 75. __________ 76. __________ 77. __________ 78. ___________ 79. __________ 80. __________。

The latest of a number of world leaders to visit India, Mr Wen is accompanied by some 400 Chinese business leaders.China is India’s largest trading partner--two-way trade volumes are set to hit $ 60 billion this year.Mr Wen is due to meet Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday. Indian and Chinese companies signed some 50 deals in power, telecommunications, steel, wind energy, food and marine products worth $16 billion at the end of a business conference attended by Mr Wen in the capital, Delhi, on Wednesday evening.This overtakes the $10 billion of business agreements signed between Indian and American businessmen during the recent visit of US President Barack Obama to India.“There is enough space in the world for the devel opment of both China and India and there are enough areas for us to cooperate,” Mr Wen told the business conference.The Chinese delegation dwarfs(使相形见拙) the number of trade chiefs led in recent weeks to India by US President Barack Obama (215), French President Nicolas Sarkozy (more than 60) and British Prime Minister David Cameron (about 40).Later this week, Mr Wen will travel to India’s nuclear-armed neighboring rival(对手), Pakistan, for a two-day official visit.Though bilateral trade with China is booming, the relationship is not benefiting India as much as it might, say analysts.Delhi has been demanding greater access to Chinese medicine and IT markets as it seeks to level a large trade surplus(贸易顺差) in China’s favor of up to ￡25 billion.BEngineers at a major aerospace company were instructed Io test the effects of bird-strikes on the windshield(挡风玻璃) of airliners and military jets. To simulate(模拟D the effect of a goose colliding with an aircraft traveling at a high speed, the test engineers built a powerful gun, with which they fired dead chickens at the windshields. The simulations using the gun and the dead chickens worked extremely effectively, happily proving the suitability of the windshields, andseveral articles about the project appeared in the testing industry press.It so happened that another test laboratory in a different part of the world was involved in assessing bird-strikes--in this case on the windshields and the drivers’ cabs(驾驶室) of new high-speed trains. The train test engineers had read about the pioneering test developed by the aerospace team, and so they approached them to ask for specifications of the gun and the testing methods. The aerospace engineers gave them details, and the train engineers set about building their own simulation.The simulated bird-strike tests on the train windshields and cabs produced shocking results. The supposed high-speed train windshields offered little resistance to tile high-speed chickens; in fact every single windshield that was submitted for testing was struck to pieces, along with a number of train cabs and much of the test-lab itself.The frightened train engineers were concerned that the new high-speed trains required a safety technology that was beyond their experience, so they contacted the aerospace team for advice and suggestions, sending them an extensive report of the tests and failures.The brief reply came back from the aero-engineers: “You need to defrost (解冻) the chickens... “24. The underlined phrase “colliding with” in the first paragraph can be replaced by _________.A. hittingB. catchingC. throwingD. leaving25. How did the test engineers simulate the effect of a goose colliding with an aircraft?①defrosting the chickens ②building a powerful gun③putting the chickens into the gun ④firing dead chickens at the windshieldsA. ③②①④B. ②③①④C. ②①③④D. ③①②④26. The train engineers’ tests failed becauseA. the trains’ speed was too highB. the train windshields were not hard enoughC. the testing methods were not suitable for the trainD. they didn’t defrost the chickens before firing them27. What can we learn from the aero-engineers’ brief reply?A. The train engineers were not clever enough.B. The aerospace team’s suggestions were no t correct.C. The aero-engineers were playing tricks on the train engineers.D. The train engineers didn’t pay attention to ener gy detailCOur grand China tour will show you a different China!But you are required to present a US passport when entering China. For some importantA.

According to the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, Canada supplies 34% of the world’s wood pulp and 49% of its newsprint paper. If these paper products could be produced in some other way, Canadian forests could be preserved. Recently, a possible alternative way of producing paper has been suggested by agriculturalists and environmentalists: a plant called hemp.Hemp has been grown by many countries. It produces fiber which can be made into paper, fuel, oils, textiles, food, and rope. For centuries, it was essential to the economies of many countries because it was used to make the ropes and cables used on sailing ships; colonial expansion and the establishment of a world-wide trading network would not have been possible without hemp. Nowadays, ships’ cables are usually made from wire, but scientists are now suggesting that the growing of hemp should be revived(恢复) for the production.According to its supporters, four times as much paper can be produced from land using hemp rather than trees, and many environmentalists believe that the large-scale growing of hemp could reduce the pressure on Canada’s forests.However, there is a problem: hemp is illegal in many countries of the world. This plant, so useful for fiber, rope, oil, fuel and textiles, is a species related to the plant from which marijuana(大麻) is produced. In fact, marijuana cannot be produced from the hemp plant, since it contains almost no THC(the active ingredient in the drug).In recent years, a movement for legalization has been gathering strength. It is concerned only with the hemp plant used to produce fiber; this group wants to make it legal to grow the plant and sell the fiber for production.第三部分：任务型阅读请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

There was plenty of roomin its own space, 2 the driver had chosen to park very poorly and made sure that 3 could use the space next to his.My first 4 was “Why do people act like such idiots (白痴)?”“What a 5 that people have to do things like that,” my wife said.I stopped and looked around at the rest of the parking lot. There were at least five hundred6 and 99% of them were parked well. Their drivers had shown the7 necessary to park ina way that still 8 other people to park.“Think about it,” I said. “Only one 9 parks poorly a nd we start using ‘people’ to describe the driver.” The 10 of the matter is that we forget about the thousands of people who 11 themselves when we see one person doing something ‘rude’?I’ve been 12 for many years, and the percentage of good drivers is always 13than the percentage of poor drivers. “People” don’t necessarily drive poorly, but individuals do.My wife and I almost didn’t 14 the many cars that were parked well because the car that was parked poorly caught our 15 .

They need to set records every time they report to keep up the momentum,” said Colin Gillis, analyst at BGC Partners.Apple sold 4.9 million Mac computers in the quarter — up 27% over the same period last year. “The numbers are actually quite good. The reason why the stock is off —I think some of the analysts got carried away,” said Shaw Wu, a nalyst at Sterne Agee.21. According to the passage, the newest product that have been released by Apple Company up to now is the .A. iPhoneB. iPadsC. iPhone 4SD. iPod videoBHow old is “old”?How old is “old”? The answer has changed over the years. Two hundred years ago, you were old at 35. That was the average life span(寿命) then. At the turn of last century, as medical knowledge advanced, the average life span increased to 45. In 1950, 70-year-olds were finally old. Today, a healthy 75-year-old is looking forward to many more active years.So, how old is old? The answer is one you’ve heard many times, from all sorts of people. “You are as old (or young) as you feel.” The calendar simply tells you how many years you have lived. Your b ody tells you how well you’ve lived.“Youth”, wrote a writer, “is not a time of life – it is a state of mind. Nobody grows old by living a number of years; people grow old by deserting their ideals.”Old is a point of view. Alice Brophy, when she was with New York commission for the Aging, said, “It annoys me when people say, ‘Gee, you look young for your age.’ What does that mean? Is there some model that you’re supposed to look a certain way at 65 and 75 and 85? You know you can die old at 30 and live young at 80.There are many myths(无事实根据的观点) about aging. These myths misled people on the basis of age. Here are some of the more common myths and the facts.Myth: Most older people are in poor health.Fact: Not so. There are neither biological nor physiological reasons to connect poor health with growing older. Older people are more likely to be affected with illness and physical disabilities than you are, but old age itself is not a disease. It is possible to remain physically fit throughout your life. Myth: When you get old, you become senile(衰老).Facts: Older minds can be as bright as young minds. Senility is a sign of disease; it is not part of the normal aging process. In a 1985 study of men ages 20, 40, 60, and 80 years, no evidence was found to indicate that aging was associated with an unavoidable decline in intellectual performance, in generally healthy people.Myth: Older people are rigid, unable to change.Fact: Older people are as flexible as young and middle-aged people. Despite the great stress they deal with – death of loved ones or job, financial, and family problems – they deal with them rather well. Older people give up smoking and break other bad habits just as successfully as younger people.24.What is the average life span in 1900?A. 45B. 35C. 70D. 7525. This article is mainly about .A. the average life spanB. how people view agingC. old people’s lifeD. myths of older peopleCHundreds of camps are seeking staff.

The best policy is to prevent people becoming overweight．For men weight goes up steadily through life. For women it starts slowly and accelerates in the mid-thirties．”But the study’s findings do not mean dieting is pointless，as eating less and taking more exercise can increase fitness and lower blood pressure．In 2009，a quarter of adults and 14 percent of children were obese(过度肥胖的)，according to the Department of Health’s latest Health Survey for England．It has been predicted that 60 percent of us will be obese by 2050，leading to even more cases of diabetes，heart disease and cancer．Experts said we are programmed to put on weight rather than lose it．Dieting can make this tendency worse as decreasing calorie intake causes the body to go into starvation mode and reduce the amount of energy it naturally expends，making it even harder to lose weight．32．According to Dr Rebecca Hardy，which of the following is TRUE?A. It is easier for men to lose weight than women．`B. Once people lose weight，they never put on weight again．C. Never to become fat is the best way of keeping a good shape．D. The fact that fat people keep their weight upwards is unusual．33．The author says “the study’s findings do not mean dieting is pointless” because ．A. the study lacks believable factsB. obese people are confident in losing weightC. dieting can never make a few people lose weightD. dieting and sports help to keep people free from some diseases34．From the last paragraph，we can learn that .A. decreasing calorie intake makes it even harder to lose weightB. the idea that people lose weight with mechanisms is practicalC. being overweight is a lasting problem through the human historyD. by 2050 more and more people will have got unfit because of losing weight35．Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?A. Which is better: cutting calories or exercising?B. Fat people can’t really keep the weight off.C. A new study on people’s health.D. How to go on a healthy diet.第三部分任务型阅读请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

Jennifer Aniston is working on her wedding despite her busy schedule.BOnce on a dark winter's day，when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in the streets ofLondon that the lamps were lighted and the shop windows blazed with gas as they did at night, an odd-looking little girl sat in a cab with her father and was driven rather slowly through the main street.Sara Crewe leaned against her father，who held her in his arms，as she stared out of the window at the passing people with an old-fashioned thoughtfulness in her big eyes. At this moment she was remembering the voyage she had just made from Bombay with her father，Captain Crewe. She was thinking of what a strange thing it was that at one time one was in India in the hot sun，and then in the middle of the ocean，and then driving in a strange vehicle through strange streets·“Papa，”she said in a low，mysterious little voice which was.almost a whisper.“What is it，darling?”Captain Crewe answered，holding her closer and looking down into her face．"Is this the place？＂Sara whispered."Yes，little Sara，it is. We have reached it at last.，，It seemed to her many years since he had begun to prepare her mind. for "the place”，as she always called it. Her mother had died when she was born，so she had never known or missed her.Her young，handsome，rich father seemed to be the only relation she had in the world．During her short life only one thing had troubled her，and that thing was "the place，， she was to be taken to some day. The climate of India was very bad for children，and as soon as possible they were sent away from it-generally to England and to school."Couldn't you go to that place with me，Papa？＂she had asked when she was five years old．"Couldn't you go to school，too？ I would help you with your lessons.，，"But you will not have to stay for a very long time，little Sara，”he had always said. "You will grow so fast that it will seem scarcely a year before you are big enough and clever enough to come back and take care of Papa.”She had liked to think of that．She liked to talk to him and read his books-that would be what she would like most in the world，and if one must go away to "the place， in England to attain it，she must make up her mind to go．She liked books more than anything else，and was in fact，always inventing stories of beautiful things and telling them to herself. Captain Crewe held her very closely in his arms as the cab rolled into the big，dull square in which stood the house which was their destination．60. The story happened_______．A. on a moonless nightB. on a foggy dayC. on a hot dayD. on a starry night61．Sara Crewe came to England to_______A. visit her relativesB. see her mother's houseC. receive educationD. buy books for her father62. We can learn from the story that Sara Crewe was_______．A. skepticalB. curiousC. cheerfulD. imaginativeCThe Green Microgym in Portland，Oregon has all the usualstuff you'd expect-sweaty people，loud music，smoothexercequipment-but it has some extras as well. Everywhere youlook，there are power wires. And these aren't the typical kindthat let you surf the Web while you ride a spin cycle-althoughyou can do that too．The gym uses special exercise equipment thatcaptures（捕获）the energy you create while riding,converts（转换）it into electricity and channels it into the poweroutlets（插座）．The idea of using exercise equipment to produce electricity is not new. A gym in Hong Kong has been doing this since 2007. But clean (and healthy）energy is just now starting to catch on in U. S. gyms·"We have seen a significant increase in interest in the past six months，which is a good sign that fitness centers are ready to spend money on green technologies，”says Mike Curnyn，co-founder of the Green Revolution，a Connecticut-based firm that wires bikes into a central battery that can store energy. The Green Microgym，first opened in 2008，has more than 200 members and is doing so well that owner Adam Boesel opened another one five miles from the original．Although membership costs about the same as ordinary gyms，customers can earn gift certificates from local businesses for watts produced while exercising．An average workout creates 37. 5 watt hours，which is enough to power a phone for a week．Boesel uses spin bikes made by Resource Fitness，a Seattle company he co-owns，that captures energy produced from the flywheel. Wires send the converted AC current （交流电流）into any standard wall outlet-for this reason，the product line's name is Plug Out-and the energy created is used before the building draws power from the grid（电网）．Unlike the Green Revolution equipment，Plug Out machines cannot store extra energy. A third company，the Florida-based ReRev，is adding converters to a specific brand of spin bikes. But since the converters add＄1，000 to the price of the equipment，the ReRev and Green Revolution machinesare at a disadvantage．Resource Fitness，by contrast，sells its equipment for the same＄1，200 price as non-electricity-producing machines，removing the question of how long it will be until the energysavings pay for the cost of the unit．The company can afford to do this because its designs don’tcall for the extra wiring needed for battery packs and large converters．It is also trying to pricecompetitively with standard equipment so more gyms-and gym Boers-will make the switch．63．Members of the Green Microgym earn gift certificates for＿．A .using the man-powered exercise equipmentB. saving electricity for local businessesC. producing green electricity to power their phonesD. paying higher membership fees64．The spin bikes made by Resource Fitness are different from those by Green Revolution in thatA. they are easier to rideB. they are more expensiveC. they don't have wires connectedD. they can not store extra electricity 65．What might prevent the green exercise equipment from getting more popular？A .People's unwillingness to go green．B. The high cost of making it．C. Safety problems concerning electricity.D. Lack of certificates．66. The underlined words“make the switch”in the last paragraph most probably mea nA. change to a different gymB. use green exercise equipmentC. switch on the spin bikesD. add a battery to the machineDSomething that has always interested me about Abraham Lincoln is，not surprisingly，hissense of humor. As far as I can tell，he's the first American President to have one． That's because the term“sense of humor，， really wasn't in common usage until theeighteen-sixties and seventies．In the eighteen-forties and fifties，it was called “the sense of theridiculous," and didn't have the positive connotations（隐含意义）that“sense of humor" hasoday. Back then，what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule（讥笑）．Funniness and crueltywent hand in hand．Of course，they still do a lot of arm-in-arm walking in our day as well．Lincoln’s humor was very different because，for one thing，it was actually "humor＂as whatthe word meant in his time. We don't make the distinction between "wit（风趣）”and "humor”anymore; but in the nineteenth century people did．Wit was unpleasant and offensive whilehumor was pleasant and sympathetic．It’s。

限时训练3第一部分完形填空Almost everyone around us uses a phone. Phones provide a simple and efficient means to conduct work or 1 social arrangements from day to day.Several times in course of a work day, you may be 2 by phone with colleagues, students, lab assistants, secretaries or others on 3 matters. If you want an appointment with your department head, you would 4 call him and arrange a time with him. If you were unable to5 your appointment, or if you found you had to be late for it, you would phone and change the6 . In this way, no one7 time waiting for someone who is not coming. If you want to buy something, you would “let your8 do the walking”. That is, you call9 to make sure the store has what you need. If it is an expensive item, you might call several stores to 10 prices. If you want to take a train or plane, after finding out 11 and prices, you can call to make a 12 ; if you want to shop for clothes after work, you might call to ask how late the store is open 13 you travel all way there.Phones are easily 14 . In streets, you can see public phones in which you 15 coins to make a call. Phones have 16 answering services; if you are not at home or in the office, or don’t wish to be 17 , you switch on a machine, which will answer the call for you. A pre-recorded 18 will say to the caller, “I’m 19 , I’m not in at the moment. Please leave your name and number and I will call you back as 20 as possible.” It’s more efficient to leave one’s nam e and number than to waste their time calling again and again.第二部分阅读理解AThere was a farmer who grew award-winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won a blue ribbon.One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors."How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" the reporter asked."Why sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen（花粉）from the ripening corn and spreads it from field to field. If my neighbors grow poor corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn."He is very much aware of the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn also improves.So it is in other aspects. Those who choose to be at peace must help their neighbors to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others to live well, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others to find happiness, for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.The lesson for each of us is this: if we are to grow good corn, we must help our neighbors grow good corn.21. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 stand for?A. award-winning cornB. seed cornC. something interestingD. the blue ribbon22. What is the reason why the farmer grew good corn according to this passage?A. He worked harder than others.B. His corn is special.C. His neighbors helped him.D. He is very generous.23. What shall we learn from this farmer?A. Sharing good corn with your neighbors.B. Being aware of connectedness of life.C. Skills to grow good corn.D. Skills to build social networks.A. Beat all other businesses.B. Make a lot of money in a short time.C. Force other batteries to withdraw from market.D. Be the business leader in battery making.CThe slow death of the American dream for middle class families has continued in the last couple of years in the wake of the financial crisis.A study shows a shocking decline in the average net worth of U.S. households from 2007 to 2010. The average American family saw their net worth drop 40% in that three years, from $126,400 to $77,300.The loss, not surprisingly, is due in large part to falling home prices. The average homeowner saw their net worth fall more than $70,000 from roughly $250,000 in 2007 to $175,000 in 2010.In three years, 18 years of savings have been wiped away for the majority of the country and at the same time wages have fallen. The average income fell from about $50,000 in 2007 to $46,000 in 2010.But this negative trend does not stop there. As average families become poorer, rich Americans are growing richer. The Fed survey showed the wealthiest 10% of families actually saw their net worth rise from 2007 to 2010. Over that time period, their net worth increased from $1.17 million to $1.19 million.The continued decline of the American middle class has resulted in income inequality at levels not seen since the Great Depression. Many economists agree.While the major consumer spending has historically come from the middle class, if the majority of Americans continue to suffer from falling wages and income, eventually something has got to give. There is no possible way for the super-rich to buy enough stuff to float the entire U.S. economy.It is growing increasingly clear that we live in drastic times (非常时期) and drastic measures must be taken to save the country's middle class. One drastic measure is that more Americans are putting off retirement because they simply can't afford it.28. Which of the following could be the title of the passage?A. The current situation of the AmericansB. The economic crisis’ impact on the USAC. The fading of the American middle class families’ dreamD. Bad economics in the USA29. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT affected by the financial crisis?A. Household.B. House prices.C. Average income.D. Population.30. What is the measure taken to save the country’s major consumers?A. Putting off retirement.B. Making the super-rich buy more.C. Reducing the working hours.D. Providing more job opportunities.31. What can we infer from the passage?A. Retirement can save America from financial crisis.B. The middle class are the only victims of the financial crisis.C. The American economics is floating.D. The middle class are vital to the US economy.DAt the treaty of Lancaster in Pennsylvania, 1744, between the government of Virginia and the Six Nations, the officials from Virginia acquainted the Indians (Native Americans) by a speech, that there was at Williamsburg a College with a fund of education Indian youth; and if the Chief of the Six Nations would send down half a dozen of their sons to that college, the government would take care that they be well provided for, and instructed in all the learning of the White People.The Indian’ spokesman replied:“We know that you think highly of the kind of learning taught in those colleges, and that to educate our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced, therefore, that you mean to do us good by your proposal and we thank you heartily.“But you, who are wise, must know that different nations have different conceptions of things; and you will not therefore take it amiss (搞错), if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same with yours. We have had some experience of it; several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the Northern Provinces; they were instructed in all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods, unable to bear either cold or hunger, knew neither how to build a cabin, take a deer, nor kill an enemy, spoke our language imperfectly, were therefore neither fit for hunters, warri ors nor counselors; they were totally good for nothing.”“We are however very much grateful for your kind offer, though we decline accepting it, and to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, instruct them in all we know, and _______.”Revised from Benjiamin Franklin’s Remarks concerning the Savages of North America.32. What can we learn from this passage?A. The White’s education is better than the Indian’s.B. T he Indian’s education is better than the White’s.C. The White and the Indian have different understanding toward education.D. The purpose of education for the White and the Indian is the same.33. According to the passage, we know the Indian’s education is more on _____.A. reading skillsB. living skillsC. science exploringD. text handling34. Which of the following can be used to finish the last paragraph?A. make friends with themB. make man of themC. make them richerD. make them stronger35.

Each day he fed it with fresh grass and leaves. In a few weeks we discovered it 36 in a cocoon (茧).Justin was excited. He knew a moth (蛾) or butterfly was about to be 37 , but he didn’t know what kind. He was38 to know what gift nature was about to give him.“Dad!” shouted the boy while running to me one day. “Something’s39 . Come see!”He led me to his room. The cocoon had become half transparent and we could 40 the wings of the unborn. Soon, a moth broke free from the cocoon, and laid eggs completing the life 41 of the little caterpillar.The next day, I convinced Justin it was time to set the moth free. He took it 42 , opened the jar, and the little moth flew out. It 43 the yard twice, came back, and landed on Justin’s arm. He picked it up, tossed it in the air, and the moth repeated its 44 pattern. He tried over and over, buteach time it would 45 to his arm.Justin 46 _. He put his little pet back to the jar. The next day he attempted to set it free again, and after a few repetitions of the same behavior, the moth 47 flew off into the grass.Like a 48 , I believe the moth was afraid to leave what it was comfortable with. It wanted to stay with something 49 , scared to move on and experience something unknown.I was once that little moth. My cocoon was my mother’s50 , in which I was comfortable.

While all jobs are expected to grow by 10.4 percent, STEM jobs are expected to increase by 21.4 percent.By this measure, future STEM jobs represent a huge opportunity to today’s students. But, in fact, of the 3.8 million ninth graders in the U.S., only 233,000 end up choosing a STEM degree in college, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. This means only 6 percent of ninth graders will become STEM graduates. And of these graduates, women will be even more underrepresented in most STEM fields.These are alarming statistics. How do we get more young boys and girls to be interested in STEM-related fields? It isn’t an easy task. Schools do not always adequatelyprepare students for these severe subjects, and college programs are designed to get rid of those who are less persistent. Nationally, only 41 percent of initial STEM majors who begin a degree in STEM-related fields complete their degree in less than six years.In addition, social pressures continue to cast a shadow over girls who might otherwise consider the STEM fields. A couple of years ago, I met amazing parents, both of whom had a background in engineering and hoped their 10-year-old daughter would follow in their footsteps. They encouraged her to take an after-school science / robotics program. When she got there, she found she was outnumbered 6:1 by boys in the class. As the only girl, she came home crying much of the time because she was teased and told that geeky girls are not welcome in the boys’ club. Ironically, by the time young boys are entering college programs in STEM fields, many complain about the lack of girls.Starting at an early age, even as young as kindergarten, we need to encourage and help the next generation leaders to consider taking up science, computing, math and technology. We also need to realize that for young girls to be inspired to take and stick with this educational path and later career field, they will benefit from the support of the people that surround them: parents, teachers, friends and family members.56. The STEM statistics are used in the passage mainly to show that ________.A. STEM jobs will be easily available in the futureB. boys have more advantages over girls in STEMC. the number of STEM students is rapidly decliningD. America will face serious shortage of STEM talents57. A large number of STEM students stop their studies when _________.A. they get bored with the subjectsB. they can’t stick to their hard studiesC. they feel they have learnt adequatelyD. they can easily find jobs in other fields58. From the passage we can learn that few girls enter the STEM fields partly because ________.A. few STEM boys like to study with girlsB. there is widespread prejudice against girlsC. most girls are bad at the required subjectsD. most girls take little interest in STEM jobs59. In the writer’s opinion, what should we do now?A. Show the students the advantages of STEM jobs.B. Provide college graduates with more STEM jobs.C. Encourage more young children to take up STEM.D. Make people aware of the importance of STEM.B60. It is implied in the ad for Bannits Ltd’s property that ________.A. the longer you rent it, the less you will payB. you can’t rent it without a required guarantorC. there is a bathroom and kitchen for your use onlyD. you have to furnish all the rooms before moving inCAccording to its label (标签), a pint of Häagen-Dazs ice cream contains four servings (份). But when was the last time you measured out a fourth of a container of Cookies & Cream, then put the rest away for another day?For many people, the reality is that much of a pint can easily disappear in one sitting.A large package of Cool Ranch Doritos lists a single serving as roughly 12 chips, but it’s hard to imagine keeping count of every last chip as you dig into a bag. Canned soup may be one of the more obvious examples. According to its label, a single serving of Campbell’s Chunky Classic Chicken Noodle soup is one cup—just under half a can— and contains about 790 milligrams of sodium (钠). But in a national survey of 1,000 consumers, only 10 percent of people said they would eat a one-cup portion. Most, about 64 percent, said they would eat an entire can at one time, taking in 1,840 milligrams of sodium in a sitting. That is roughly 80 percent of the 2,300 milligrams recommended as the upper limit for daily salt intake.In the face of increasing criticism, the Food and Drug Administration (F.D.A.) has been under pressure for years to force food makers to include more realistic serving-size information on their labels. The agency regulates the serving sizes that can be listed on packages by providing food makers with detailed instructions to follow, which list the amounts of a specific food that a person would “customarily consume” in a typ ical sitting. But critics say these so-called reference amounts are often laughably small because they’re based in part on surveys of eating behavior that were carried out in the 1970s, when Americans ate less food and portions had not been supersized.Now, in an effort to emphasize the problems with some labels, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer advocacy group, has picked out what it says are some of the worst offenders. At the top of its list are labels for canned soups, ice cream, coffee creamers and nonstick cooking sprays—all of which grossly understate (少报) the calories, sodium and saturated fat the average person typically consumes when eating these foods.The F.D.A. has been in the process of revising existing food labels since 2005. But the agency has been somewhat tight-lipped about where it is in the process and any changes it plans to make, like whether labels should include details on added sugars or just total sugar, for example, and whether calories should be emphasized less or more than they are now.This fall, the Institute of Medicine is expected to release its own report on foodpackaging and labeling as well.63. According to the passage, when eating canned soup, ________.A. people are aware of the amount they take inB. people are worried about the amount they take inC. many people take in too big an amount unconsciouslyD. most people follow the instructions on the label closely64. The writer tries to convince us that ________.A. food consumers are to blame for eating so carelesslyB. food makers show little consideration for consumersC. most labels on food packages give false informationD. the amount of food in one package is often too large65. What does the writer seem to think of the F.D.A’s efforts?A. Considerable.B. Unsatisfying.C. Unreasonable.D. Effective.66. Which might be the proper title for the passage?A. Problem with serving sizesB. Trend of packaging and labelingC. Relationship between diet and healthD. Efforts to reduce criticism第四部分任务型阅读Attitude is a mental state relative to what we believe and affects our entire lives. We express our attitude in our words and actions.One of the most important steps you can take toward achieving your greatest potential in life is to learn to monitor your attitude and its impact on your work performance, relationships and everyone around you.In truth, people generally don’t have a high level of attitude awareness. They’ll know if they are hungry or if their feet hurt, but they usually don’t ha ve a good handle on their attitude. That is a mistake because attitude decides everything. It governs the way you perceive (感知) the world and the way the world perceives you. We all have a choice. We can choose an inner dialogue of self-encouragement and self-motivation. It’s a power we all have. Each of us experiences hard times, hurt feelings, heartache, and physical and emotional pain. The key is to realize it’s not what happens to you that matters; it’s how you choose to respond.Your mind is a computer that can be programmed. Your inner dialogue is the software that programs your attitude, which determines how you present yourself to the world around you. You have control over the programming. Whatever you put into it is reflected in what comes out. The sad reality of life is that we will continue to hear negative information, but we don’t have to program it into our brains.The loudest and most influential voice you hear is your own inner voice. It can work for or against you, depending on the messages you allow. It can be optimistic or pessimistic (悲观的). It can wear you down or cheer you up.Habitual bad attitudes are often the product of past experiences and events. Commoncauses include low self-esteem, stress, fear, resentment, anger and an inability to handle change. It takes serious work to examine the roots of a harmful attitude, but the rewards of ridding ourselves of this heavy baggage can last a lifetime.Here are several strategies to improve your attitude:Enthusiasm—Vital Tool for Staying MotivatedEnthusiasm is to attitude what breathing is to life. Enthusiasm makes it possible for you to apply your gifts more effectively. Enthusiasm means putting yourself in motion. It’s an internal spirit that speaks through your actions.Lighten Up Your Life with HumorHumor is a powerful motivator. The more humor and laughter in your life, the less stress you’ll have, which means more positive energy to help you put your attitude into action. There are also health benefits to lightening up.Exercising Will Help Keep You MotivatedOne of the best ways to move to a more positive and motivated mind is to exercise.A regular exercise routine can provide relatively quick positive feedback in the form of weight loss, muscle development and a sense of doing something positive for yourself.Seek your personal and professional success by using the tools above. It is no secret that life seems to reward us most when we approach the world with a positive attitude.。

限时训练第一部分完形填空I grew up one of ten children on a farm in Wyoming. After my dad’s service in World War II, he was36 again to fight during the Korean War, and when he returned home, he couldn’t drink 37 to numb (麻痹) his terrible memories. He struggled to 38 for his growing family.On our occasional trips to town, I 39 out boxfuls of books from the library. When I openeda book, I could 40 myself in unknown places —where children weren’t hungry and were in41 of little.When I wasn’t daydreaming, my 42 was the life I shared with my brothers and sisters. At night I hid under the covers 43 to silence the sounds of life in an alcoholic home. Classmates asked 44 we didn’t have electricity or a telephone. I suppose my explanations were 45 more than lies, but the stories I told improved 46 every book I read. Starting at a very young age, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I sometimes got jobs to earn money — to put more food on the family table. We 47 ne wspapers, babysat, and cleaned other people’s houses.Mom grew vegetables, raised chickens, and baked bread, so we seldom went hungry, even when supper was only a pot of beans. 48 my real hunger wasn’t for food — it was a hunger for a better life. It was a hunger for knowledge about the world 49 our simple existence. It was a hunger to prove Dad 50 when he told us we would never amount to anything.Hunger motivated my brothers and sisters to achieve much 51 than our parents expected 52 us. We devoured (如饥似渴地吸取) the offerings of the public schools because we realized that 53 would be our steppingstone into a brighter future.Now I’m 54 of the accomplishments of my siblings: an art professor; a well-known doctor; plus business owners. And me, I’m the keeper of the family stores. I’ll never know if we would have so many accumulated successes if we had not known 55 as children. But this I do know: I believe it can be a good thing.1.

The city promotes well-being by offering its citizens lots of opportunities for sports, both indoors and outdoors throughout the year.Sports clubs in X organize activities in a wide arrangement of sports. The most popular are ice hockey and football, and the list covers well over one hundred other sports.X’s large green areas including the Central Park and the sea offer ample opportunities for physical activity: walking, running, jogging, hiking, bicycling, roller skating, swimming, boating and fishing. The city claims 50,000 amateur fishermen, more than any other capital city in Europe.The city organizes a number of community sports activities and maintains a variety and lots of sports facilities. These facilities include more than 200 km of tracks for walking, jogging and running, close to 200 km of ski tracks in winter, some 30 indoor sports halls, some 10 indoor ice rinks and 80 outdoor ice rinks, 14 indoor swimming halls and 2 outdoor pools in summer, close to 30 beaches, and 12,000 boat berths (泊位).Ice Park is a downtown winter-time skating rink on Railway Square, complete with skate rental (出租) and a heated café.The local people are active bicyclists especially in summer. X’s bicycle path network covers 1,000 kilometers inside the city limits. The city promotes bicycling with many services, including a Journey Planner for Cycling.One of the unusual sports here is ice swimming, and X even hosts ice swimming world championships. The city maintains some 15 ice swimming sites throughout the city.Campers find a convenient site inside the city: Rastila Camping is one of the most popular camping sites in this country, located by the seaside and accessible by underground. The Nuuksio National Park offers camping in wilderness just half an hour from the city by car.The city of X’s sports function is managed by the Sports Departm ent. The department provides and maintains sports facilities and organizes activities. The department also rents facilities for sports, conference rooms and saunas.BThe White House dropped a report putting together some federal data. None of the information isexactly new, but a number of graphs in the report offer a clear and convincing illustration (阐述) of the status of women today. For instance, more young women are going to college than young men for the first time in US history. But, women are much more likely to go into lower-paying fields than men when they graduate, therefore lasting the long-standing wage gap. And women, especially minority women, are still more likely to live in poverty than men. Check out three of the graphsSenior Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarrett said on a conference call with reporters that the president will use the data as a “tool” to inform policy plans, though she would not name any specific new moves the administration is considering.“You really have to look at the whole story of a woman’s life,” Jarrett said. “This r eport gives us a framework to do that.”24. The reason why American women delay having their first child, as is shown in Graph I, may be that ________.A. they get married at a later ageB. they don’t want to have childrenC. more of them are going to collegeD. more of them are working outside25. From Graph II, we can know that in the USA ________.A. women can receive the same education as menB. in the 1970s, only 10% of women got a bachelor’s degree or higherC. men are paying more attention to university education than womenD. more women have finished university education than men since the late 1990s26. Which conclusion can we draw from Graph III?A. Women with the same education level as men don’t earn as much.B. The more education one has received, the more pay he or she can get.C. Women under 25 years old usually don’t go out to work.D. The longer one has worked, the more pay he or she can get.27. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the report?A. The State of American WomenB. The Education American Women ReceiveC. American Men and WomenD. Competition between Men and WomenCPhysics is a different world now. Will there ever be another Einstein?Scientists say a new Einstein will appear, but it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival (堪与相比者), Isaac Newton.Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn’t been born yet. That is because the long difficult search for a theory that would account for all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits.New math must be created before the problem can be solved.But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein appearing anytime soon.For one thing, physics is a much different field today. In Einstein’s day, there were a few thousand physicists worldwide, and fewer theoreticians.Education is different, too. One important aspect of Einstein’s training that is overlooked is the philosophy he read as a teenager. It taught him how to think abstractly about space and time.And he was an accomplished musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein would crazily play his violin as a way to think through a complex physics problem. Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren’t many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical and rewarding efforts. Those who stay in science don’t work alone.It’s very difficult to imagine an independent person like Einstein ever tolerating this.28. Ac cording to the passage, the most important reason for Einstein’s success is that ________.A. he was a good musicianB. he learnt philosophy as a teenagerC. he was born 200 years later than NewtonD. he was a great mathematician29. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the reason why a new Einstein has not been born yet?A. The limits of current mathematics.B. The development of physics.C. Different education systems.D. The lack of analytical skills.30. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?A. Einstein rather than Newton made great contributions to the world.B. Working independently is one of the contributing factors of Einstein’s success.C. Physics graduates can easily get science jobs today.D. Music has nothing to do with science.DMy room faces the sun in the morning and on clear summer mornings it wakes me bright and fresh, no matter what time I stayed up till; I’ll get up and make breakfast.This morning I wake up suddenly, like the alarm clock in my head has given me a little electric shock; it isn’t sunny outside. I pull back the curtains and the sky is dark grey.Hearing my brother is getting up, I go downstairs to make him a cup of tea. He’s down in the kitchen about five minutes later, wearing his work clothes, eyes mostly closed against the morning. “Morning.” I say.“Uh huh.”I leave him to work out what he is going to eat and go back to my room, and get back beneath the quilt.This morning I want to think a while. Today is Dad’s birthday; Mom won’t mention it. My brother might, just to cause a row, so I’ll keep him sweet when he comes in from work. Every year on my dad’s birthday I draw a picture of him; each year he looks a bit different. I’m an artist. It’s not that I draw a straighter line or a truer circle, as they try to teach us to do at school. I just get the message across more clearly than other people. More truthfully. I know it.I read a lot of books too, mainly about artists, and I try to paint like them. When my dad comes back I’ll be able to say “this is you when I was twelve and I was in love with Monet” or “this is you on your thirty-eighth birthday, when I was fourteen, and you’d been gone five years, and I wanted to paint like Dante Gabriel Rossetti.” And he’ll look at each painting and know that I love him and never forget him.On Saturday mornings he’d take me to town and I’d drag him around the art shops. On my sixth birthday he bought me a box of 99 crayons. On my eighth birthday he bought me an easel (画架), a real one, not a kiddie’s. On my ninth birthday he bought me oils. Some mornings I’d wake up and there’d be a book on my pillow about Picasso, or Chagall.“Draw me,” he’d say.“Aw, Dad, I can’t.”I know I should go to school; I’m not one of those kids who are scared to go. But, it’s my dad’s birthday and I think I must spend it with him.So I spend some time thinking about his hair, which I think is probably no more grey than it was last year; I know hair doesn’t age at the same speed every year, bu t I make his hair longer this year. And in my mind’s eye I give him an extra few pounds too. But I keep the smile fixed in my head, like it is when he’s happy.It’s head and shoulders, so I’ll put him in a T-shirt that shows his neck and throat and how strong he is and how brightly his eyes shine and how his eyebrows are dead level straight and still black.I try to think of how much I want to show and how much I want to tell.Then I pick up a charcoal stick and do it. I pick up a chalk to add a suggestion of colour to his eyes, then another chalk for his mouth.And there he is.Dad.There you are.31. The author wakes up suddenly this morning because ________.A. it is a dark grey morningB. it is time for her to make breakfastC. it is her father’s birthdayD. she doesn’t want to go to school32. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The author’s father left home when she was twelve.B. The author has drawn more than five pictures of her father.C. The author’s mother won’t hear a word about her father.D. The author’s brother is a worker.第三部分任务型阅读请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

Designer Chan Hwee Chong creates spiral(螺旋形的) illustrations inspired by some of the most 36 works in history. The Singaporean artist's work is so 37 that if he makes a single mistake he starts all over again. He has recreated Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Van Gogh's self-portrait and Johannes Vermeer's the Girl with the Pearl Earring in his own unique 38 .The 33-year-old father-of-two said: “ 39 , the brief was to show the precision and control of the pens.Right from start, we 40 ourselves, is there an idea that can bring to life the promise of these pens in a 41 , powerful way? Inspired by line-art drawings, we thought we could 42 ‘precision and control’ in a simple idea that involved only one single line.” He 43 putting together the impressive drawings to a spider spinning a web. Mr Hwee Chong added, “It wasn't as easy as we thought. We went through many rounds of 44 and error, painstaking drawing the masterpieces in one 45 line, by hand. As you can imagine, every mistake meant we need to start from the very 46 . This project not only involved skill 47 lots of resilience and patience, much 48 a spider spinning its web.”The Singaporean is an art director at German 49 studio Kolle Robbe in Hamburg. In his spare time he works 50 installation art and on graphic desig n. “At work, I deal 51 with art direction and ideas. Outside of work I like playing with spaces - 52 different ways of provoking our senses in an immersive(拟真的) fashion.”Mr Hwee Chong, who lives in Hamburg with his wife Carolyn, said the three pieces took several months to complete due to the fact that every mistake meant a complete restart.“I don't really have an 53 to how long each drawing took but the whole project took us many months. 54 , my favourite is Mona Lisa as it was the piece we started doing first.

The site's 12th annual top-100 survey finds Sophia and Aiden (with various spellings) most popular again in 2011. New in the top 10 are Mason and Liam for boys and Emily for girls. The Social Security Administration releases its list every May, based on applications for Social Security cards for births in a particular year. Other parenting sites develop similar lists; just released its "top-searched" list, led by Jacob and Isabella, the site says.New trends this year include naming kids after children of celebrities; names from nature (Summer or Clover for girls, Rain or River for boys); and names with a Spanish influence, such as Xavier or Valentina, says BabyCenter editor in chief Linda Murray.Though not in the top 10, other popular names include Harper (daughter of soccer star David Beckham and singer wife Victoria) and both Anderson and Cooper (CNN's Anderson Cooper). Heather Damron, 30, of Huntington, W.Va., says name choices for her 4-year-old son were heavily influenced by pop culture. Griffin Leland Grant Damron is named for Griffin, son of her favorite singer, Chris Daughtry (American Idol), and griffins in Harry Potter.Lindsey Brook of Silver Spring, Md., loved the name Harper until the Beckhams used it. She and husband Ryan Brook, 29, named their 12-week-old son Asher Ellison Brook. Choices are tough: Some names remind you of "someone annoying in high school. You can't lose that association no matter how much you like the name."Mandi and Lanson Oukrop, 29 and 32, of Richland, Wash., named their 1-year-old Ryder Hall Oukrop; she says they "wanted to make sure it was something he could put on a résumé." They're expecting another baby in June.Many parents "feel this big pressure" to make the right choice, says Kirsten Larsen, 37, of Mount Rainier, Md. You don't want to "scar them for life for having a name nobody can pronounce or spell or they'll get made fun of."56．From the 2nd and 3nd paragraphs, we can know that .A．more and more pareata tend to name their children after these of famous people B．David Beckham’s daughter’s name is ranked No.2 in t he name listC．Rain and River for boys are influenced by the Spamish cultureD．Heather Damron was heavily influenced by pop culture when naming their four children 57．Many parents find it hard to name their children because .A．they have too few names to choose fromB．they want to be sun that the names comes from a resumeC．they don’t know the pronunciations of so many namesD．they don’t want them to have a name that would later make them laughed at 58．What’s the best title of this passage?A．Where to find a good name? B．What to name their child?C．Who to name their child after? D．When to name their child?59．The Brooks changed their plan to name their child Harper because .A．that made them think of some annoying personB．they feel it great pressure to do soC．the Beckhams had used that name to call their own childD．it was not yet a famous name at that timeBINDEPENDENT NATIONAL NEWSPAPER OF EAST MALAYSIAEstablished since 1963Advertising Rates:Advertisement rates for selected sizes for DAILY EXPRESS (effective 21* January 2012)Above prices include of 6% government service tax.Material Requlred: Positive Film/ Color Separation FilmsFOR ONLINEAbove prices include of 6% government service tax.Prices for listing page are per section.Material Required: JPG/GIFPlease read our online advertisement Terms ＆Conditions.Payment: We appreciate payment in Cash or Bank Draft or Company Check made payable to SABAH PUBLISHING HOUSE SDN.

This is exciting. Yet, on the other hand, competition breeze a pragmatic（实用主义）attitude. People choose to learn things that are useful, and do things that are profitable. Todays' college education is also affected by this general sense of utilitarianism.（功利主义）Many college students choose business nor computing programming as their majors convinced that this professions are where the big money is. It is not unusual to see the college students taking a part time jobs as a warming up for the real battle. I often see my friends taking GRE tests, working on English or computer certificates and taking the driving licence to get a licence. Well, I have nothing against being practical. As the competition in the job market gets more and more intense, students do have reasons to be practical.However, we should never forget that college education is much more than skill training. Just imagine, if your utilitarianism is prevails on campus, living no space for the cultivation（培养）of students' minds, or nurturing of their soul. We will see university is training out well trained spiritless working machines. If utilitarianism prevails society, we will see people bond by mind-forged medicals lost in the money-making ventures; we will see humality lossing their grace and dignity, and that would be disastrous. I'd like to think society as a courage and people persumed for profit or fame as a horese that pulls the courage. Yet without the driver picking direction the courage would go straight and may even end out in a precarious situation.A certificate may give you some advantage, but broad horizons, positive attitudes and personal integrities（正直）,these are assets you cannot acquire through any quick fixed way. In today's world, whether highest level of competition is not of skills or expertise（专业）, but vision and strategy. Your intellectual quality largely determinds how far you can go in your career.63．The author’s autinuade toward today’s college education is .A．positive B．cautious C．critical D．doubtful64．Many college students choose to major in business because .A．a businessman is very likely to make big moneyB．studying business is less competitiveC．too many students have chosen computing programmingD．computing programming is not a must for them65．The author does strongly suggest that .A．more competition be encouraged on college campusB．people not ignore the value of broad horizons, positive attitude and personal integrities C．intellectual quality determine how far one can go in his careerD．college students get as many part time jobs as possible66．In the au thor’s opinion, .A．college students are not pragmatic enoughB．college students should have drivers pick direction for themC．college education should provide students more business coursesD．college education should value the cultivation of stu dents’ mindsDOnce when I was six years old I saw an amazing picture in a book called True Stories from Naturc about the primeval forest. It was a picture of a boa constriotor（大蟒蛇）in the act of swallowing an arimal. In the book it said: "Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. After that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion."I thought deeply then over the adventures of the jungle. And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. My Drawing Number One. I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. But they answered: "Frighten? Why should any one be frightened by a hat?"My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the inside of a boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. That’s my Drawing Number Two.The grown-ups' response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic, and grammar. That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a great painter. I had been disheartened by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.So then I chose another profession, and learned to pilot airplanes. I have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me. At a glance I can distinguish China from Arizona. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable.In the course of this life I have had a great many encounters with a great many people. And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them. Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted, I tried showing him my Drawing Number One, which I have always kept. I would try to find out if this was a person of true understanding. But, whoever it was, he, or she would always say: That is a hat. Then I would never talk to that person about boa constrictors, or primeval forests, orstars. I would bring myself down to his level. I would talk to him about bridge, and golf, and politics and neckties. And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such an intelligent man. 67．The writer drew his first picture in order to .A．show the grown-ups what the book was aboutB．frighten the grown-ups trying to enter the forestC．remind himself of the adventures of the jungleD．illustrate a boa constrictor’ act of d igesting an animal68．How did the writer understand the grown-ups’ response to his second drawing?A．He was actually only good at academic study.B．It was a waste of time for him to keep on drawing.C．He has difficulty in communicating with the adults.D．He was good at anything but geography.69．The underlined word disheartened in Paragraph 4 could most probably be replaced by . A．discouraged B．dissatisfied C．discriminated D．disturbed70．Which of the following statements is true?A．The writer could have become a pilot if encouraged when young.B．The writer finally changed his opinion of grown-ups.C．The writer has been showing his two pictures to others ever since.D．The writer felt nobody could have really understood him.第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

Stoke Newington, London, hasbeen selling marbles（弹珠）．His successful marble company．Marble King, Sells allthings marble-related—from affordable tubs of the glass playthings to significantly expensive items like Duke of York solitaire tables —sourced, proclaimed and processedby the mini-CEO himself．"I like having my own company．I like being the boss," Harii told The Mirror． Withprofits now in the thousands, "the world's youngest CEO" has had to get his motherand older brothers to help him meet the growing demand．Harli launched Marble King after swapping marbles at school led to schoolchildren depleting （削减） his marble collection．Yes, he literally "lost his marbles．''Harli and his mother, Tina, turned to the Internet to find replacements．Harli saw an empty space online: the marbles he wanted were hard to find．Within months,Harli had his own marble-selling website and orders started pouring in．Tina says her son's obsession （迷恋） with marbles started when lie was just 6．"His obsession became so big we started calling him the Marble King, so when he wantedto set up a website it was the natural name for it," she told The Sun．"I never thought it would become so popular—we are struggling to cope with the numberof orders at times．"The 8-year-old boy has his sights set on expanding his business and launching hisown brand of marbles．Sometimes his ideas are so grand we have to scale them back a bit．But his dream isstill to own Britain's biggest marble shop and open stores around the world．" Tinatold The Daily Mail．"At the minute he is annoying me by asking about creating his own Marble King marbles,so that could well be the next step for him．"56．Wily did Harli's marble company become popular as soon as he launched it?A．Because it was run by "the world's youngest CEO"．B．Because it filled the gaps of marble business．C．Because Harli was fascinated with marble collection．D．Because his mother and brothers helped him a lot．57．How many mass media are mentioned in

travel by calling United Reservations or the agency that originally booked your ticket．CCanadian concept of space has contributed to the spreading cities．With no lack of land, their cities tend to grow horizontally, rather than vertically．Just about every house in town has a large grassy lawn and at least four trees: two at the front and two at the back．Vegetable gardens are optional．Add the municipally maintained trees that line the streets and you have towns occupying real forests．Living in one of the least densely populated countries in the world, the Canadians have their own version of personal space．A general rule is never to advance closer than one meter to a person．But the distinct concept of how much physical distance you want to have between you and the next person may disappear once a friendship has been established．People are not above giving hugs, even between men．But once the physical embrace is concluded, the Canadians return to their conventional distance, that is, only close enough that one does not have to shout in order to be heard, The Canadians are noted for being exceptionally polite．A Canadian is quick to apologize even when it is you who unintentionally bumped him in the street．Pedestrians in smaller towns have to take care not even to look as if they would like to cross the street since cars are likely to stop and wait for them．A woman suffering from amnesia （遗忘症） was discovered aimlessly wandering the streets of Los Angeles．Not knowing her own identity, police had only one clue: the woman was polite． So polite, in fact, they figured she had to be Canadian．Sure enough, when an all-points bulletin went out across Canada, it turned out that indeed she was．Canadian politeness does not mean formality．The language etiquette （礼节） in Quebec follows much less formal lines than in France where one would never call a stranger"tu"．To do so would be like walking up to the Prince of Wales and giving him a hearty slap on the back．However, me Quebecois appear to consider anyone from the same province a brother or sister and "tu" their way around the countryside as if they know the entire world on first name terms．63．How is the first paragraph developed?A．By examples．B．By comparison．C．By discussion．D．By classification．64．From the passage, we can know that_____．A．the Canadians have the tendency of building high buildingsB．the Canadians never apologize to strangers in the streetC．the physical distance the Canadians accept is one metreD．formality is a necessary part of politeness in Canada65．By mentioning the woman who suffers from amnesia, the author wants to illustrate thatA．police m Los Angeles are very devoted to their workB．politeness has become a natural quality of the CanadiansC．people still remember to be polite even after becoming illD．the USA and Canada maintain a good relationship66．After reading the passage, we can infer that in Canada_____．A．people always keep much physical distance between each otherB．people in Quebec like being informal in their language etiquetteC．pedestrians in small towns have to be very careful before they cross the street D．people's concept of space has negatively affected the development of their citiesDCLIMATE science is famously complicated, but one useful number to keep in mind is "climate sensitivity"．This measures the amount of wanning that can eventually be expected to follow a doubling in the atmospheric concentration of CO2 （carbon dioxide）．The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change（IPCC）, in its most recent summary of the science behind its predictions, published in 2007, estimated that, in present conditions, a doubling of ．CO2 would cause warming of about 3℃, with uncertainty of about a degree and a half in either direction．But it also says there is a small probability that the true number is much higher．Some recent studies have suggested that it could be as high as 10℃．If that were true, disaster occurs．But a paper published in this week's Science, by Andreas Schmittner of Oregon State University, suggests it is not．In Dr Schmittner's analysis, the climate is less sensitive to CO2 than was feared．Existing studies of climate sensitivity mostly rely on data gathered from weather stations, which go back to roughly 1850．Dr Schmittner takes a different approach．His data come from the peak of the most recent．ice age, between 19,000 and 23,000 years ago．His group is not the first to use such data （ice cores, fossils, marine sediments and the like） to explore the climate's sensitivity to CO2 But their paper is the most thorough．Previous attempts had considered only small regions of the globe．Hehas collected enough information to make an attempt at recreating the climate of the entire planet．The result offers the rarest of things in climate science ?a bit of good news．The group's most likely figure for climate sensitivity is 2．3℃, which is more than half a degree lower than the consensus （公认的） figure, with a 66% probability that it lies between 1．7°and 2．6℃．More importantly, these results suggest an upper limit for climate sensitivity of around 3．2℃．Before you take a break and start to celebrate, though, it is worth bearing in mind that this is only one study, and, like all such, it has its shortcomings．And although the study's geographical report is the most comprehensive so far for work of this type, there are still blank areas—notably in Australia, Central Asia, South America and the northern Pacific Ocean．67．The studies conducted by Dr Schmittner's group show that ______．A．the climate may not be so sensitive to CO2B．IPCC's predictions in 2007 are completely wrongC．the geographical report is thorough and perfectD．previous studies cover a large regions of the globe68．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．The group forecasts disasters will surely occur．B．The research will make people feel relaxed and safe．-C．Weather stations contribute to climate sensitivity studies．D．The group is the first to explore climate's sensitivity．69．The consensus figure of climate's sensitivity is about ______．A．2．3 B．2．6 C．2．9 D．3．270．What can be the best title for the passage?A．Natural Disasters Occur B．Disagreement Becomes BiggerC．Research Range Grows D．Climate Sensitivity Proves Lower第四部分任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
