并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AMy brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister's bureau(衣橱) and picked out a wonderful skirt. "Jan bought this the first time we went to New Y ork, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion.‖ Well, I guess this is the occasion.He took the skirt from me and put it on the bed. His hands touched the soft material for a moment, then he shut the drawer and turned to me, "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you're alive is a special occasion."I'm still thinking about his words, and they've changed my attitude to life. I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to enjoy, not suffer. I'm trying to recognize these moments now and treasure them."Someday" and "one of these days" are being lost from my vocabulary. If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now. I' m not sure what my sister would have done if she had known she wouldn't have tomorrow .I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have calleda few former friends to apologize and mend her fences for past things. I like to think she would have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food.If I knew that my hours were limited ,those little things left undone would make me angry. Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touch with some day. Angry and sorry because I didn't tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them.I'm trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath truly, is... a gift from God.1. The best title for the passage would be______.A. Every day is A GiftB. My Poor SisterC. V alue Friendship Every DayD. Every day is An Important Occasion2. Jan bought the wonderful skirt but didn't wear it because______.A. she wanted to wear it on special occasionsB. she kept it as a special gift for someone elseC. she saved it until she grew olderD. she wanted to keep it as a sweet memory3. Which of the following is not the wri ter’s attitude to life?A. spending more time staying with familyB. attending social activities as often as possibleC. enjoying life and valuing every dayD. trying to get along well with friends4.Which of the following can best explain t he expression underlined ―mend her fences for past things‖ in Paragraph 5?A. try to be friendly again with someoneB. break her wordC. give up her point of viewD. keep her promiseBThere are many superstitions(迷信) in Britain, but one of the most widely-held is that it is unlucky to walk under a ladder - even if it means stepping off the pavement into a busy street!①Walking under a ladderIf you must walk under a ladder you can avoid bad luck by crossing your fingers and keeping them crossed until you’ve seen a dog. Alternatively, you must lick your finger and make a cross on the toe of your shoe, and not look again at the shoe until the mark has dried.②UmbrellaAnother common superstition is that it is unlucky to open an umbrella in the house - it will either bring misfortune to the person that opened it or to the household. The superstition could date from the old time when its purpose was to act as a sunshade. If opened indoors, it might be considered to be an attack on the sun. Anyone opening an umbrella indoors in fine weather is unpopular, as it inevitably brings rain!③Number 13The number 13 is said to be unlucky for some, and when the 13th day of the month falls on a Friday, anyone wishing to avoid an inauspicious event had better stay indoors.④Seven years bad luckThe worst misfortune that can befall you is caused by breaking a mirror, as it brings seven years of bad luck! The superstition is supposed to have originated in ancient times, when mirrors were considered to be tools of the gods.⑤Black catIn the UK, Black cats are generally considered lucky in the UK, even though they are connected with witchcraft(巫术). Y ou are said to be lucky if a black cat crosses your path.5. Which experience is considered to be lucky according to the passage?A. Walking under a ladderB. opening an umbrella in the houseC. breaking a mirrorD. a black cat crossing your path.6. Which of the followings is RIGHT in U.K according to the passage?A. Opening an umbrella in the rain is not acceptable or unpopularB. Black cats are generally considered unlucky because they have something to withwitchcraft.C. Bad luck brought by walking under a ladder cannot be avoided using certain waysD. If you are to open a clothes store on May 13 in Britain, you had better change the date.7. Which two superstitions are related to history?A. ①②B.②④ C ④⑤ D. ③④8. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.A. breaking a mirror will cause bad luck because it shows your disrespect (不敬) for the God.B. crossing your fingers and keeping them crossed can help avoid bad luck brought bywalking under a ladderC. number 13 is always unlucky in any situationD. opening indoors it might be considered to be an attack on the sun.CReading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life.How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?There are, I believe, three culprits(肇事者)：poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavorable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something. Y et what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.9. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because ______________.A. it built a link among peopleB. it helped unite a communityC. it was a source of self-educationD. it was a source of pleasure10. The underlined word ―diversion‖(in Paragraph 2) most probably means ―_________‖.A. concentrationB. changeC. amusementsD. stories11. According to the passage, what is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry?A. Students are becoming less interested in poetry.B. Students are poorly educated in high school.C. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.D. Poems have become difficult to understand.12. In the last paragraph, the writer questions ____________.A. the difficulty in studying poemsB. the way poems are taught in schoolC. students’ wrong ideas about poetryD. the techniques used in writing poemsDHow can a creature weighing over 5 tons and normally taking 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment?In the southwest African country of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further north, the desert elephant does just that.Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant, the desert cousin differs in many ways. Their bodies are smaller, to absorb less heat, and their feet are larger for easier walking across sandy surfaces, They are taller, to reach higher branches. They have shorter tusks（象牙）, and most importantly, longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds.Desert elephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes, and have a larger group of families. They drink only every 3 –4 days, and can store water in a ―bag‖ at the back of their throat, which is only used when badly needed. Desert elephants are careful feeders – they seldom root up trees and break fewer branches, and thus maintain what little food sources are available. Y oung elephants may even eat the dung（粪便）of the female leader of a group when facing food shortage.During drought they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthrate will increase greatly. Desert elephants have sand baths, sometimes adding their own urine（尿液）to make them muddy!As we continue to overheat our weak planet, it can only be hoped that other animal species will adapt as extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant.13．The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means ―‖.A．remains in the African countriesB．drinks 120 liters of water a dayC．manages to live in desert areasD．eats 150 kilograms of food daily14．Desert elephants are called careful feeders because they _________.A．rarely ruin treesB．drink only every 3-4 daysC．search for food in large groupsD．protect food sources for their young15．What can be inferred from the last sentence in the passage?A．Overheating the earth can be stopped.B．Not all animal species are so adaptable.C．The planet will become hotter and hotter.D．Not all animals are as smart as desert elephants.第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

2015高三模拟英语卷河南

AI went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film. We set off early for a distant water hole. A huge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water. He wasn’t going to hurry now. He’d drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again or so we thought. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away. Then he suddenly fell down. Within minutes he was dead.We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephant’s body, and let out over 100 liters of pus (胺)－the result of the elephant’s meeting with a poacher（偷猎者）months before.Today's poacher shoots from a blind. He fires an arrow, covered with poison, into the body of an elephant. If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies. Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once－it doesn't mean the poison won't finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death.Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time. When I think about the death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence aft er the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground. I took some comfort from the knowledge that as the dead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefit－but I couldn't escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.21. While filming near the water hole, the author and his team ________.A. knew the elephant was injuredB. found the elephant acted violentlyC. tried their best to save the elephantD. thought the elephant was in good condition22. Further examination showed that the dead elephant________.A. had suffered an hour or twoB. was killed by a poisonous needleC. had suffered a lotD. had had a good fight with a poacher23. How does the author feel when thinking about the elephant s death?A. empty.B. comfortable.C. upset.D. relieved.24. Why did the author write the text?A. To introduce African elephant.B. To show the cruelty of poaching.C. To describe his filming experience.D. To ask readers to protect wild animals.BWinter begins in the north on December 22nd. People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the cold months. Squirrels, for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. Well, scientists have been busy gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect.They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut trees. The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels. The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student now at the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels. Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut. So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow in the following spring. Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground. Professor Swihart calls “death traps for seeds”.Gray squirrels are native to Indiana. But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century.The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade Indiana. Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.25.The study done by Rob Swihart and Jake Goheen is to ________.A. find out the living conditions for squirrelsB. do something to get rid of squirrelsC. learn squirrels’ influence on black walnut treesD. save the forests in the American state of Indiana26.The difference between gray squirrels and red squirrels mainly lies in ________.A. the way they gather the walnutB. the place they store the walnutsC. the number of the nuts they can collectD. the fact that the gray squirrels have a bad memory27.When Professor Swihart says “death traps for seeds”, he actually means that ________.河南教考资源信息网版权所有·侵权必究A. nuts above the ground will not develop into plantsB. red squirrels eat more nuts than gray squirrelsC. gray squirrels and red squirrels will have severe fightsD. seeds can be traps for other animals in the forest28.According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Gray squirrels do more harm to the forest than red squirrels.B. Red squirrels and gray squirrels have helped the spread of walnut trees.C. The cleaning of forest land benefits gray squirrels directly.D. Human beings should bear some responsibility for the decreasing number of graysquirrels.CLa Gomera is the only place in the world that has a whistle language. We do not know how and why it began because we do not know the complete history of the island. But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language. There are many deep valleys on the island. A person on one side of a valley can not easily shout to a person on the other side. But he can whistle and be heard. Some of the best whistlers can be heard from four miles away and the record is seven miles.The people who live on the island usually have good teeth, and this helps them to whistle well. They must also have good ears so that they can hear other whistlers.We can understand why the whistle language continues. It is very useful on the island, and quite easy to learn. When somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle language takes the place of telephone. If the sick person is quite far away from the town, people pass the message from one to another. A boy guarding cattle on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat. The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town. People help one another in the same way when a car breaks down or a cow is lost.The whistle language is hundreds of years old, and probably it will continue to live on for hundreds of years more. Radio and TV often kill the special ways of s peaking in different parts of a country. But on La Gomera you are nobody if you cannot whistle. Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island, people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions.29. If a person on La Gomera is ill, ______.A. the whistle language will help pass the message to the doctorB. people will take him to town by carriageC. his family will take him to the hospitalD. others will phone the doctor in town30. La Gomera is special because ______.A. we don’t know its complete historyB. people have to shout if they want to communicateC. people there have good teeth and earsD. people there use the whistle language to communicate with each other31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The whistle language has been used for hundreds of years on the island, but will notbe used any longer.B. The whistle language can only be found on La Gomera.C. It is not easy for a person to live on La Gomera if he cannot whistle.D. The record shows that one best whistler can be heard by others from seven miles away.32. Which of the following will be the best title of this passage?A. The Secret LanguageB. Do You Know the Whistle Language?C. The Life of IslandersD. La Gomera－a MysteryDImagine being given the opportunity to wake up to lions, eat your meals with monkeys, and even share your bath with bears, all from the comfort of a unique new lodging experience.The Jamala Wildlife Lodge opened its doors in January 2015, which was set up in an effort to educate visitors about aiding the survival of many of the world's endangered species.“It’s great for the animals; they're go ing to get more space. It's great for the viewing public; they're going to get more things to see. It will be great for tourism and just for the local community," Said Richard Tindale, the owner and operator.Spreading across three locations in the National Zoo, the 18 rooms, which range from giraffe tree houses to jungle bungalows, offer a fantastic experience with wildlife The Giraffe TreehouseThe Giraffe Treehouse is set among the giraffe enclosures (围场), and the Jungle Bungalows are luxurious individual suites which are next to either lion, cheetah(猎豹), brown bear, or Malaysian sun bear enclosures.The Ushaka HouseHousing up to 26 people, the Ushaka House is built around the monkey enclosure and has a built-in aquarium which offers priva te views of some of the zoo’s sharks.The Burley Griffin HouseOnly meters from the edge of Lake Burley Griffin, the indoor and outdoor entertaining areas have splendid views across the lake to Black Mountain.The Shark HouseThe Shark House has its own little jetty(码头) and it comes out over the shark tank here and so the people who stay in the room will be able to go to their bedroom and pat the shark.LocationLocated in the heart of Australia’s political capital, the Jamala Wildlife Lodge at the National Zoo and Aquarium is just ten minutes from Canberra’s central Business District.河南教考资源信息网版权所有·侵权必究33.

Pare nts who want to honor some one importa nt or some one famous like a politician, artist, or writer might tend to give the famous surname to their child as a first name.

Proper names won ' t bring discomfort when they are growing up.DLong ago in ancient Greece, people knew that the worst scars left by terrible events were psychological as well as physical. They knew that people that survived terrify ing situati ons were disturbed by ni ghtmares, flashbacks, illogical an ger. But it was not un til the time of the Viet nam War that psychiatrists began to formally study Post-Traumatic （仓U伤的）Stress Disorder （PTSD）.Although many people have suffered traumatic events as victims of crimes, wars, or natural disasters, most retur n to a no rmal state of men tal health. Some people, however, are troubled by their memories from these experie nces for the rest of their lives.Tile reason for this is because of real cha nges in the sufferers usuatiyns. PTSD patie nts show a low level of cortisol in their brains. Cortisol helps people to return to their normal, un stressed state, but rather tha n relax ing after trauma, sufferers of PTSD stay in their stressed state. Furthermore, research shows that the hippocampuses （海马神经）of Viet nam vetera ns （老兵）sufferi ng from PTSD are unu sually small. In the brain, the hippocampus con trols the amygdala, which is linked to fear and the memory of fear. A smaller hippocampus may mean the amygdala ' sin flue nee is too strong, giv ing rise to un reas on able resp on ses to stress.While earlier generations of soldiers and disaster victims simply had to live with the problem, sufferers no wadays have bee n helped through treatme nts developed by doctors since the 1970s. The most successful methods to reduce symptoms is to use cognitive therapy （认知疗法），whichis avoidi ng and reduc ing n egative thought patter ns, and drugs. In particular, MDMA, which has been tested because itspositive effect on moods, lets patients discuss their memories without triggering their fear response.While there may never be a complete cure for PTSD, it is now widely recognized as a problem. Military personnel and disaster survivors are screened for symptoms, and those who n eed help are no Ion ger igno red.12. Which one of the following is NOT mentioned as a symptom of PTSD?A. Bad dreams.B. Poor concen trati on.C. Flashbacks.D. An ger.13. Accord ing to the passage, PTSD can be caused by _____ .A. gen etic disorderB. a smaller hippocampusC. high levels of cortisol in the brainD. an abno rmal state of mi nd14. What is the best way to cure PTSD?A. Brain surgery.B. Therapy for those head ing to war.C. The reduct ion of n egative thoughts.D. Never allow a pers on to be in volved in a traumatic event.15. What can be in ferred from the passage?A. PTSD has bee n around as long as wars.B. PTSD is caused by on ly one thi ng.C. Most sufferers are civilians, not members of the military.D. Vetera ns of the Viet nam War drew atte nti on to the issue.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）选项中有两项为多余根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

河南省顶级名校2015届高三年级入学定位考试英语试卷及答案

河南省顶级名校2015届高三年级入学定位考试英语试卷第一部分阅读理解（20*2=40）ASince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person’s thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord （脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.Prof. Milan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and tur ns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.1. BCI is a technology that can ________.A. help to update computer systemsB. link the human brain with computersC. help the disabled to recoverD. control a person's thoughts2. How" did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?A. By controlling his muscles.B. By talking to the machine.C. By moving his hand.D. By using his mind.3.Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchairB. computer→cap→scalp→wh eelchairC. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchairD. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair4.The team will test with real patients to ________.A. make profits from themB. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longerD. learn about their physical condition5.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Switzerland, the BCI Research CenterB. New Findings About How the Human Brain WorksC. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the DisabledD. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain InjuriesBIn the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer.I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.6. When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be __________.A. a writerB. a teacherC. a judgeD. a doctor7. Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?A. She wanted to study by herself.B. She fell in love and got married.C. She suffered from a serious illness.D. She decided to look after her grandma.8. What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A. She was busy yet happy with her family life.B. She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.C. She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.D. She was too confused to make a correct choice.9. What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Failure is the mother of success.B. Little by little, one goes far.C. Every coin has two sides.D. Well begun, half done.10. Which of the following can best describe the author?A. Caring and determined.B. Honest and responsible.C. Ambitious and sensitive.D. Innocent and single-minded.CWinners ClubYou choose to be a winner!The Winners Club is a bank account specially designed for teenagers.

Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy resolution. It is now trying hard to made full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil(棕榈油), which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions(排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge public expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from the traditional model to a sustainable one.The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.16. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that____.A. it makes the world warmerB. it consumes natural resourcesC. it brings severe damage to futureD. it makes growth hard to continue17. What can we infer from Paragraph2?A. China lacks wind and solar energy.B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market.C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development.D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.18. To fully develop the low-carbon markets governments can______.A. cut public expensesB. forbid carbon emissionsC. develop public resourcesD. encourage energy conservation19. We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to _______.A. develop sustainable productsB. explore new natural resourcesC. make full use of natural resourcesD. deal with the major challenge20. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To introduce a new business modelB. To compare two business modelsC.To predict a change of the global marketsD. To advocate sustainable development第二部分完形填空（35*2=70）AI met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors. Almost instantly I loved her. She had an unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking, 21 she was encouraging and inspiring. For some reason, she was impressed with my work and me.Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my 22 . She wanted to know how I thought we should 23 things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 24 about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her 25 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to 26 them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 27 I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself.Mrs. Neidl's 28 that year was, "Try it. We can always paint over it 29 !"I began to take 30 . I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing-----only things to be 31 upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 32 create something.The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 33 in the program as "Student Art Assistant" because of the time and effort I'd put in. It was that year that I 34 I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design.Being on that stage-design team 35 Mrs. Neidl changed me completely. Not only was I stronger and more competent than I had thought, but I also 36 a strong interest and a world I hadn't known existed. She taught me not to 37 what people think I should do: She taught me to take chances and not be 38 . Mrs. Neidl was my comforter when I was upset.

A. accessible B. enjoyable C. possible D. favorableBEveryone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining (留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But, 41 , words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often 42 the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business—43 that the customer remains a customer.44 to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every years. In constantly changing 45 , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the 46 implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big 47 in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to 48 increases of between 25 and 85 per cent.I n the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and 49 never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in 50 profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).The logic behind cultivating customer 51 is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with li ttle attention paid to 52 them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’ School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits.53 customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price 54 , and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it 55 for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.41.

Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and have more respectable jobs. But in the executive(主管的) circle, (56)________ can become a disadvantage.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is (57)________(harm) to a woman. Handsome male executives are considered to have more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability usually lead (58)________ their success. Attractive female executives are considered to have less honesty than unattractive (59)________ ; people do not connect their success with ability (60)________ with factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives are thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. However, interestingly, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes (61)________ (connect) more to personal relationships and less to ability.Attractive women are not thought to be able. This is true even in politics. Anne Bowman, a writer, (62)________ recently made a study, asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in the order of attractiveness. And then the students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote (63)________them. The results showed that attractive males (64)________(complete) defeated unattractive men, but the women (65)________ (rank) most attractive by the students unchangeably received the fewest votes.B“Put yourself in someone else's shoes.” is (66)________idiom that means if you imagine yourself to be in another person's position, good or bad, you may understand how they feel, good or bad, or why they have done (67)________ they've done.This idiom comes from the fact (68)________ a pair of perfectly fitting shoes for someone may not fit another person as perfectly. So, literally, only if you put (69)________ another person's shoes can you feel how it is to walk in(70)________．Metaphorically speaking, “their shoes” stands for other people's position. A local boy is detained(扣留) by the police(71)________ a theft, and one of his friends might (72)________ (private) say to himself: “I wouldn't want to be in his shoes now.” That is, he doesn't want(73)________ (put) into prison for stealing.By trying to “put on their shoes”, we try to imagine ourselves in(74)________ situation, by seeing things from their point of view, by thinking about how we would want to be treated if we were them.Harper Lee, of course, (75)________(express) this idea best in To Kill a Mockingbird: “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view—until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”答题卷班级_____________ 姓名_____________ 编号____________ 分数___________56__________ 57__________ 58__________ 59__________ 60__________61__________ 62__________ 63__________ 64__________ 65__________66__________ 67__________ 68__________ 69__________ 70__________71__________ 72__________ 73__________ 74__________ 75__________第四部分短文改错（20*1=20）AOnce, a man got on a bus to New York. Because he did not want to pay, so he hid in the toilet. But a passenger saw her. She tapped the person in front of her on the shoulder and say, “There’s a bum in toilet. Tell the bus driver.” The message was passing on from person to person. But somewhere along the way, it was changed. The bus driver told that there was a bomb in the toilet. He immediate stopped the bus and telephoned the police. When the police came, they told the passengers to get off the bus or stay far away. Then they closed the highway. As a result, a traffic jam of 15 mile long was soon caused. In the help of a dog, the police searched for two hours. Of course they found no tomb.BOne day Rosa wrote to her friend, who was a doctor, invite him to have dinner with her families. A few days later the doctor wrote back to her but she couldn’t read his writing because the letters were written careless. Then she asked her husband for the help, but he couldn’t read it, too.

AWhen I was 11, I threw a glance into Dad’s lunch box and made the unexpected discovery that my mother still showed her love towards my father. The evidence, a napkin resting on top of the sandwiches packed in wax paper, was certain “Love you!” she had written on the napkin. “ Meat loaf for supper!”Mom penned all kinds of messages to Dad on those paper napkins, and he saved a whole pile of them. What embarrassed me as a kid has become a precious memory of my parents.It also started my own brand of lunch box notes. When my kids were young, I’d glue little drawings on their lunches. Lots of sketches(素描) of our dog, Max, along with smiling flowers. When they were teenagers, I’d copy words of wisdom from great people, Einstein, for example, or Bruce Springsteen. Then, my kids grew up making their own handwritten notes. And my husband writes me love notes on recycled paper, because he’s all about being green. Friends who know about my lunch box notes eagerly share stories of their own family traditions. So many focus on food. Maura’s mom always drew hearts on the shells o f hard-boiled eggs. Melinda wrote messages on her kids’ bananas.We’re into the third generation of lunch box notes in our home. Whenever my 3-year-old grandson, Clayton, spends the night, he knows his lunch is going to have a napkin note fromGrandma in the morning. Last week, I drew a picture of me, waving widely and shouting his name. He took one look at it and screamed, “ Where’s Grandpa?” I added a man in a clean shirt. “ You forgot his tie,” he said. I quickly drew a line of stripes(条纹) down the front of the shirt. Clayton smiled. “Grandpa,” he whispered, running his fingers across the napkin. “It’s you!”21. When the author first saw Dad’s lunch box notes, she felt ______.A. movedB. awkwardC. proudD. nervous22. What did the author put in the lunch boxes when her kids were in their teens?A. Words of love.B. Pictures of flowers.C. Drawings of their favorite animals.D. Famous words of wisdom23. It can be inferred that ________.A. the author’s grandson likes drawin g pictures on napkins.B. the author’s children dislike making lunch box notes.C. the author’s husband is an environmentalist.D. the author’s friends all had their brand of lunch box notes.24. What’s the best title for the text?A. Old gener ation’s way of expressing love.B. Different brands of lunch box notes.C. Lunches packed with love.D. Some interesting family traditions.BLiving near the beach may come with an extra perk (利益): better health. A new study analyzed information from more than 48 million people in England and found that the nearer they lived to the coast, the more likely people were to report good health within the past year.Living near the coast may be associated with better health because the seaside environment reduces stress, the researchers said. They pointed to another British study that found that peoplewho took trips to the coast experienced more feelings of calmness and relaxation than those who visited urban parks or the countryside.The difference from living near the coast was relatively small. But a small effect, when applied to an entire population, can have a substantial impact on public health, said study researcher Ben Wheeler of Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry in Exeter, England.However, it’s too soon to advise people to hit the beach to improve health, Wheeler said. The study only found an association, not a cause-effect link, and it’s possible that other factors could explain the results. For instance, it could be that people who are wealthier, and therefore healthier, are more able to move to desired locations such as the coast, Wheeler said, a phenomenon known as the migrant effect. But the study did find that the association between coastal living and better health was strongest for those living in the poorest areas, which perhaps indicates that wealth cannot explain the results, Wheeler said.Because the study looked at only England—an island country in which everyone lives within 72 miles of the coast—it’s not clear whether the findings would apply to other populations. Far from England, a health expert not involved in the study said that while the British research certainly doe sn’t prove that people’s health and the place they live are linked, it’s possible that proximity to the seas does something for our bodies.If future studies confirm the results, the next step would be to find out it is what coastal environments that can benefit health. Wheeler said it may then be possible to bring those benefits to people living in other areas, through virtual environments, for instance.25. We can conclude from the passage that ______.A. people are encouraged to move to the coastB. people living near the sea may be healthier.C. people pay increasingly attention to healthD. people are worried about residential environment26. According to the researchers, living near the sea ______.A. doesn’t nearly affect the British popul ationB. can cure some difficult diseases in a wayC. can help get over one’s stressD. means freeing from sadness or troubles27. What Ben Wheeler said means ______.A. the British public health is decreasingB. concrete evidence favors life near the seaC. wealthier people are likely to be healthierD. exact reasons are proposed for further research28. What does the underlined word “proximity” in the passage mean?A. being closeB. being distantC. being similarD. being oppositeCAs we know, Julian Beever is an international well-known sidewalk chalk artist whose drawings have appeared on the streets of London, Buenos Aires, Paris, New York, and countless other cities around the world. Beever creates drawings that look completely three- dimensional when seen from the correct angle.Now, in his book, Pavement chalk artist: Thethree-dimensional drawings of Julian Beever, the artistshares some of his most fascinating and humorouspieces, Here are a few examples you’ll find in the bo ok.●Philadelphia eagleIn Pennsylvania, Beever created “Philadelphiaeagle ”a huge drawing with an eagle landingsuccessfully on an American national flag.●Meeting Mr. Frog“Meeting Mr. Frog” was created in Salamanca, Spain, and is about a realistic-looking frog sitting on a Lily pad.●Swimming pool in the high streetMy personal favorite is “Swimming pool inthe high street” from Brussels, which is abouta woman relaxing in a swimming pool-----a swimmingpool sunk into the middle of the street, that is!Along with an introduction about his background, Beever includes a description of the techniques he used and the challenges he overcame with every drawing. He shares information about his time at home in the UK. and abroad; there is a fun story to back up each piece of art. Beever’s artwork is truly jaw drooping. You’re sure to spend ages turning the leaves back and forth, surprised at how one man can create what looks like a three-dimensional design on a flat surface with just a bit of chalk. From animals to superheroes to famous buildings, the paintings are a wonder to lay eyes on.＊Payment chalk artist: The three-dimensional drawings of Julian Beever is surely worth a look.And another look. This 112-page hardcover book is available now from Firefly Books at a list price of $ 29.95What do we know about the book mentioned in the text?A. It has a paper cover.B. It hasn’t been published.C. It includes some drawing techniques.D. It’s a biography of Julian Beever.30. What does the un derlined part “ jaw dropping” most probably mean?A. Romantic.B. Amazing.C. FrighteningD. Depressing.31. We can infer that the text is ______.A. a book review.B. a description of street art.C. an advertisement for a new book.D. an introduction to an artist.DPeople are being lured (引诱) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up large amounts of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t reall y know what their personal data is worth.The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you keep everything private. That was the great thing about facebook — you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things — your city, your photo, your friends' names—were set, by default (默认) to be shared with everyone onthe Internet.According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “less satisfying experience”.Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants t o look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator(议员) Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy is only the beginning, which is why I’m considering deactivating(撤销) my account. Facebook is a handy si te, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too high a price to pay.32. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?A. It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.B. It makes money by putting on advertisements.C. It provides loads of information to its users.D. It profits by selling its users’ personal data.33. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?A. To provide better service to its users.B. To follow the Federal guidelines.C. To improve its users’ connectivity.D. To expand its scope of business.34. What does Senator Charles Schumer advocate?A. Setting guidelines for advertising on websites.B. Banning the sharing of users’ personal information.C. Removing ads from all social-networking sites.D. Formulating(制订) regulations for social-networking sites..35. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?A. He is dissatisfied with its current service.B. He doesn’t want his personal data abused.C. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据下列短文内容，从文章后的选项中选出能入空白处的最佳选项。

2010-2023历年河南中原名校联盟高三上学期第一次摸底考试英语试卷(带解析)

2010-2023历年河南中原名校联盟高三上学期第一次摸底考试英语试卷（带解析）第1卷一.参考题库(共10题)1.--Did the film ________ your expectations?--Yes, I have never seen such an interesting film like that before.A．take part inB．live up toC．make ends meetD．look forward to2.Eyes ________, I see the moon so bright; Head ________, in homesickness I am drowned.A．raising; bendingB．raising; bentC．raised; bendingD．raised; bent3.--Do you need any help, Lucy?--Yes. The job is ________ I could do myself.A．not more thanB．less thanC．more thanD．no more than4.--How much salt did you put in the soup?--I’m sorry to say, ________. I forget.A．noB．no oneC．nothingD．none5.It can be hard to meet people from another culture. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal（信号）. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize （强调）the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries--like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment（多元文化环境）will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.【小题1】In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to ________.A．keep each other companyB．share the same CultureC．get to know each otherD．develop closer relations【小题2】The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _________. A．even talk and silence can be culturally differentB．too many words are of no useC．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by natureD．the English prefer to make long speeches【小题3】According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?A．By sharing different ways of life.B．By recognizing different values.C．By accepting different habits.D．By speaking each other’s languages.【小题4】What would be the best title for the text?A．Multicultural Environment.B．How to Understand Each Other.C．Cross-Cultural Differences.D．How to Build Up a Relationship.6.You ________ pay too much attention to your reading skill, as it is so important. A．can’tB．shouldC．mustD．needn’t7.If you like art and enjoy looking at the pictures, ________ is an interest. A．whichB．thatC．asD．what8.When you don’t have anything planned for the day or it’s rainy outsid e and your children are stuck in the house, why not sit around and tell them riddles? Telling riddles will make your family laugh and sometimes even scratch their heads, trying to figure out what the answer is.Riddles have been a pastime for centuries. Not only have riddles been something for passing the time, but they have also been used to pass on secret information during the Second World War. Even the ancient Greeks used riddles. They would tell riddles at parties and whoever was the first to get them right would receive prize.Most riddles use words that have double meanings or share the same sound like “hear” and “here”. So in order to get the riddle, you will have to do some creative thinking and think of all the possibilities of different words. The difficulty of figuring out the riddle is based on the riddle itself. The riddle has to provide you with enough clues to come to the right answer, but that doesn’t mean that the clues have to be easy.If you are looking to tell riddles but don’t know any, you can look online and you will find a large number of sites that will have hundreds of different riddles to choose from. If you would like to look somewhere else then you could look at your local bookstore, where you will be able to find many different books with thousands of riddles to choose from. You can even find websites and books that will tell you how to write your own riddles.After you have found some resources that have different riddles, you will need to read through them to find the right ones for you and your family: You will also need to make sure that your kids will have a chance to figure out the answers. So take your time and choose the right family riddles to tell.【小题1】What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?A．To recommend an interesting family activity.B．To stress the importance of family activities.C．To encourage children to read more books.D．To introduce the history of riddles.【小题2】From the text we know that riddles _______.A．do not have enough cluesB．have a very long historyC．were used in World War OneD．were first used in ancient Rome【小题3】In Paragraph 3, the author mainly ________.A．discusses how riddles are createdB．explains why fiddles are interestingC．tells people how to solve riddlesD．shows the benefits of telling riddles【小题4】To collect riddles, the author suggests ________.A．one wayB．two waysC．three waysD．four ways9.To fully understand the writer, we must read not only between the lines but also ________ the lines to know what is implied in the article.A．withinB．beyondC．besideD．among10.We are waiting until the weather ________ a little.A．takes upB．picks upC．turns upD．makes up第1卷参考答案一.参考题库1.参考答案：B试题分析：此处take part in参加； live up to不辜负；make ends meet量入为出； look forwardto期待；盼望。

【题文】AWhen I was 11, I threw a glance into Dad’s lunch box and made the unexpected discovery that my mother still showed her love towards my father. The evidence, a napkin resting on top of the sandwiches packed in wax paper, was certain “Love you!” she had written on the napkin. “ Meat loaf for supper!”Mom penned all kinds of messages to Dad on those paper napkins, and he saved a whole pile of them. What embarrassed me as a kid has become a precious memory of my parents.It also started my own brand of lunch box notes. When my kids were young, I’d glue little drawings on their lunches. Lots of sketches(素描) of our dog, Max, along with smiling flowers. When they were teenager s, I’d copy words of wisdom from great people, Einstein, for example, or Bruce Springsteen. Then, my kids grew up making their own handwritten notes. And my husband writes me love notes on recycled paper, because he’s all about being green.Friends who know about my lunch box notes eagerly share stories of their own family traditions. So many focus on food. Maura’s mom always drew hearts on the shells o f hard-boiled eggs. Melinda wrote messages on her kids’ bananas.We’re into the third generation of lunch box notes in our home. Whenever my 3-year-old grandson,Clayton, spends the night, he knows his lunch is going to have a napkin note from Grandma in the morning. Last week, I drew a picture of me, waving widely and shouting his name. He took one look at it and screamed, “ Where’s Grandpa?” I added a man in a clean shirt. “ You forgot his tie,” he said. I quickly drew a line of stripes(条纹) down the front of the shirt. Clayton smiled. “Grandpa,” he whispered, running his fingers across the napkin. “It’s you!”21. When the author first saw Dad’s lunch box notes, she felt ______.A. movedB. awkwardC. proudD. nervous22. What did the author put in the lunch boxes when her kids were in their teens?A. Words of love.B. Pictures of flowers.C. Drawings of their favorite animals.D. Famous words of wisdom23. It can be inferred that ________.A. the author’s grandson likes drawing pictures on napki ns.B. the author’s children dislike making lunch box notes.C. the author’s husband is an environmentalist.D. the author’s friends all had their brand of lunch box notes.24. What’s the best title for the text?A. Old generation’s way of expressing love.B. Different brands of lunch box notes.C. Lunches packed with love.D. Some interesting family traditions.【题文】BLiving near the beach may come with an extra perk (利益): better health. A new study analyzed information from more than 48 million people in England and found that the nearer they lived to the coast, the more likely people were to report good health within the past year.Living near the coast may be associated with better health because the seaside environment reduces stress, the researchers said. They pointed to another British study that found that people who took trips to the coast experienced more feelings of calmness and relaxation than those who visited urban parks or the countryside.The difference from living near the coast was relatively small. But a small effect, when applied to an entire population, can have a substantial impact on public health, said study researcher Ben Wheeler of Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry in Exeter, England.However, it’s too soon to advise people to hit the beach to improve health, Wheeler said. The study only found an association, not a cause-effect link, and it’s possible that other factors could explain the results. For instance, it could be that people who are wealthier, and therefore healthier, are more able to move to desired locations such as the coast, Wheeler said, a phenomenon known as the migrant effect. But the study did find that the association between coastal living and better health was strongest for those living in the poorest areas, which perhaps indicates that wealth cannot explain the results, Wheeler said.Because the study looked at only England—an island country in which everyone lives within 72 miles of the coast—it’s not clear whether the findings would apply to other populations. Far from England, a health expert not involved in the study said that while the British research certainly doesn’t prove that people’s health and the place they live are linked, it’s possible that proximity to the seas does something for our bodies.If future studies confirm the results, the next step would be to find out it is what coastal environments that can benefit health. Wheeler said it may then be possible to bring those benefits to people living in other areas, through virtual environments, for instance.25. We can conclude from the passage that ______.A. people are encouraged to move to the coastB. people living near the sea may be healthier.C. people pay increasingly attention to healthD. people are worried about residential environment26. According to the researchers, living near the sea ______.A. doesn’t nearly affect the British popul ationB. can cure some difficult diseases in a wayC. can help get over one’s stressD. means freeing from sadness or troubles27. What Ben Wheeler said means ______.A. the British public health is decreasingB. concrete evidence favors life near the seaC. wealthier people are likely to be healthierD. exact reasons are proposed for further research28. What does the underlined word “proximity” in the passage mean?A. being closeB. being distantC. being similarD. being opposite【题文】CAs we know, Julian Beever is an international well-known sidewalk chalk artist whose drawings have appeared on the streets of London, Buenos Aires, Paris, New York, and countless other cities around the world. Beever creates drawings that look completely three- dimensional when seen from the correct angle.Now, in his book, Pavement chalk artist: The three-dimensional drawings of Julian Beever, the artist shares some of his most fascinating and humorous pieces, Here are a few examples you’ll find in the book.●Philadelphia eagleIn Pennsylvania, Beever created “Philadelphiaeagle ”a huge drawing with an eagle landing successfully on an American national flag.●Meeting Mr. Frog“Meeting Mr. Frog” was created in Salamanca, Spain, and is about a realistic-looking frog sitting on a Lily pad.●Swimming pool in the high streetMy personal favorite is “Swimming pool inthe high street” from Brussels, which is abouta woman relaxing in a swimming pool-----a swimmingpool sunk into the middle of the street, that is!Along with an introduction about his background, Beever includes a description of the techniques he used and the challenges he overcame with every drawing. He shares information about his time at home in the UK. and abroad; there is a fun story to back up each piece of art.Beever’s artwork is truly jaw drooping. You’re sure to spend ages turning the leaves back and forth, surprised at how one man can create what looks like a three-dimensional design on a flat surface with just a bit of chalk. From animals to superheroes to famous buildings, the paintings are a wonder to lay eyes on.＊Payment chalk artist: The three-dimensional drawings of Julian Beever is surely worth a look. And another look. This 112-page hardcover book is available now from Firefly Books at a list price of $ 29.95What do we know about the book mentioned in the text?A. It has a paper cover.B. It hasn’t been published.C. It includes some drawing techniques.D. It’s a biography of Julian Beever.30. What does the u nderlined part “ jaw dropping” most probably mean?A. Romantic.B. Amazing.C. FrighteningD. Depressing.31. We can infer that the text is ______.A. a book review.B. a description of street art.C. an advertisement for a new book.D. an introduction to an artist.【题文】DPeople are being lured (引诱) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up large amounts of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages. Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth.The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you keep everything private. That was the great thing about facebook — you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things — your city, your photo, your friends' names—were set, by default (默认) to be shared with everyone on the Internet.According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “less satisfying experience”.Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants t o look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator(议员) Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy is only the beginning, which is why I’m considering deactivating(撤销) my account. Facebook is a handy si te, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too high a price to pay.32. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?A. It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.B. It makes money by putting on advertisements.C. It provides loads of information to its users.D. It profits by selling its users’ personal data.33. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?A. To provide better service to its users.B. To follow the Federal guidelines.C. To improve its users’ connectivity.D. To expand its scope of business.34. What does Senator Charles Schumer advocate?A. Setting guidelines for advertising on websites.B. Banning the sharing of users’ personal information.C. Removing ads from all social-networking sites.D. Formulating(制订) regulations for social-networking sites..35. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?A. He is dissatisfied with its current service.B. He doesn’t want his personal data abused.C. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.【题文】第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据下列短文内容，从文章后的选项中选出能入空白处的最佳选项。
