AA policeman was questioning 3 blondes who were training to become detectives.To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first blonde a picture for5 seconds and then hides it.“This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"The first blonde answers, "That's easy, we'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!" The policeman says, "Well...uh...that's because the picture shows his profile."Slightly confused by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the second blonde and asks her, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"The second blonde giggles, flips her hair and says, "Ha! He'd be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!"The policeman angrily responds, "What's the matter with you two? Of course only one eye and one ear are SHOWING because it's a picture of his profile!! Is that the best answer you can come up with?"Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third blonde and in a very testy voice asks "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" He quickly adds, "Think hard before giving me a stupid answer."The blonde looks at the picture intently for a m oment and says, "Hmmmm…the suspect wears contact lenses."The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not."Well, that's an interesting answer...wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and I’ll get back to you on that." He leaves the room and goes to his .office, checks the suspect's file in his computer, and comes back with a beaming smile on his face."Wow! I can't believe it...it's TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses.Good work! How were you able to make such an acute observation?""That's easy," the blonde replied."He can't wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear."51.Why did the policeman show a picture to the three blondes?A.To inquire about their relationship with the suspect.B.To test their potential of being detectives.C.To train them as qualified police officers.D.To show the skills in recognizing a suspect.52.What's the policeman's attitude towards the first blonde's answer?A.Angry.B.Puzzled. C.Embarrassed.D.Satisfied.53.What did the second blonde think of the task?A.Demanding.B.Easy.C.Ridiculous.D.Confusing.54.How did the third blonde know that the suspect wore contact lenses?A.By coincidence.B.By random guess.C.By logical and reasonable analysis.D.By checking the file in the computer.B"When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I survived at all.It was, of course, a miserable childhood.The happy childhood is hardly worth your while."Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood.And worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood." That was Frank McCourt reading the opening lines of his book Angela's Ashes, released in nineteen ninety-six.This Irish American author best known for the Pulitzer Prize-winning autobiography Angela's Ashes that recorded his poor upbringing, died of cancer on Sunday, The New York Times reported.He was 78.Born in New York City, he was the eldest of seven children born to Irish immigrant parents.Angela's Ashes was a memoir that captured an irresponsible, drunkard father with a gift for story-telling.When not drunk, his father was absent, turning his back on a family so poor, McCourt wrote, that they were reduced to burning the furniture in their rented hut to keep warm.His mother struggled to raise her many children after his father left the family.Already struggling when the Great Depression hit, the family moved back to Limerick, where they slipped ever deeper into poverty in the 1930s.Three of McCourt's siblings died of diseases worsened by hunger and the wretchedness of their surroundings.McCourt himself almost died of typhoid(伤寒的)fever as a child.In Angela's Ashes, he wrote of hunger, a home flooded with rainwater and the unbearable humiliation of seeking handouts from charities in the Irish city.But he told the story in a way that is expressive, warm and light-hearted.Frank McCourt left Ireland at the age of nineteen to return to New York City where he was born.He earned a degree in- English education and taught creative writing for nearly thirty years.After retiring in nineteen eighty-seven, he decided to write about his childhood."Angela's Ashes" became a huge success and brought McCourt a 1997 Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award and other honors.Millions of copies of the book were sold worldwide and it was adapted into a 1999 movie starring Emily Watson and Robert Carlyle.55.What's the text mainly about?A.A brief introduction to Frank McCourt and one of his works.B.A literary review on Frank McCourt's book Angela's Ashes.C.An account of Frank McCourt's miserable childhood.D.A comment on Frank McCourt's life experience.56.By saying "The happy childhood is hardly worth your while", the writer really means that .A.a lot of readers don't deserve happy childhoodB.his childhood is not worth of others' sympathyC.his childhood is mixed with happiness and miseryD.smooth childhood surely will not draw readers' attention57.From the passage, we know Frank McCourt's father is .A.humorous and trustworthy B.alcohol-addicted but loves his familyC.poor but warm-hearted D.irresponsible but gifted in telling stories 58.What does the underlined word "handouts" mean in the 6th paragraph?A.Reliefs.B.Compensations.C.Leaflets.D.Teaching materials.CResearchers at Yale, Texas A&M and Boston University predict that by 2030 urban areas will expand by more than 463,000 square miles, or l.2 million square kilometers.That is equal to 20,000 American football fields becoming urban every day for the first three decades of this century.The growth in urban areas will go with the construction of roads and buildings, water and sanitation facilities, and energy and transport systems that will transform land cover and cities globally.Recent estimates suggest that between $25 trillion(万亿)and $30 trillion will be spent on infrastructure(基础设施)worldwide by 2030, with $100 billion a year in China alone."Considering the long life and near unavoidability of infrastructure investments, it will be critical for current urbanization-related policies to consider their lasting impacts," said Karen Seto, lead author of the study."We have a huge opportunity to shape how cities develop and their environmental impacts."Nearly half of the increase in high-probability ----defined as greater than 75 percent ---- urban expansion is forecasted to occur in Asia, with China and India absorbing 55 percent of the regional total.In China, urban- expansion is expected to create a l,l00-mile coastal urban corridor from Hangzhou to Shenyang.In India, urban expansion will be gathered around seven state capital cities, with large areas of low-probability growth forecasted for the Himalaya region where many small villages and towns currently exist.Africa's urban land cover will grow the fastest, at 590 percent above the 2000 level of 16,000 square miles.Urban expansion win be concentrated in that continent's five regions: the Nile River in Egypt; the coast of West Africa on the Gulf of Guinea; the northern shores of Lake Victoria in Kenya and Uganda and extending into Rwanda and Burundi; the Kano region in northern Nigeria; and greater Addis Ababa, Ethiopia."Urban expansion is concentrated in.only a few areas where there are large cities and industry," said Seto."From the northern shore of Lake Victoria down to Rwanda is also a major hotspot of urban expansion."In North America, where 78 percent of the total population lives in urban areas, urban land cover will nearly double by 96,000 square miles by 2030.The study also forecasts that 48 of the 221 countries in the study will experience insignificant amounts of urban expansion."59.As for China, the expansion of urban area means .A.$ 100 billion will be spent on infrastructure a yearB.creating a coastal urban corridor from Hangzhou to QingdaoC.it will become the fastest developing country in the next decadeD.it will make up 55% of the increase in urban expansion in Asia60.According to the passage infrastructure doesn't include .A.construction of roads B.sanitation facilitiesC.energy systems D.land cover transformation61.In paragraph three the underlined word “their lasting impacts” refers to the impacts of .A.the development of cities B.urbanization-related policiesC.infrastructure in vestments D.China’s expansion of urban area62.The best title for this passage should be .A.The limitation of urban expansionB.More investment on infrastructureC.The fast development of the third worldD.The future urban expansion of the worldDIt is "one of the few bright spots in the Chinese economy," says Zeng Ming.He is talking about e-commerce.Mr Zeng, the chief strategy officer for Alibaba, a giant Chinese Internet firm, predicts that digital transactions on his firm's platforms will top l trillion yuan ($159 billion)this year-more than Amazon's and eBay's combined.That is a bold claim, but consider what happened on Singles Sunday.Invented a few years ago by students and seized upon by digital marketers, this festival for lonely hearts falls annually on the llth day of the llth month (since l is the loneliest number).It is like St Valentine's Day, only worse.Singletons shower each other with tender gifts: a barrage of pearls; a storm of sweets.This November llth they spent a surprising 19 billion yuan on Alibaba's online platforms-a fourfold increase on a year ago, and more than double what Americans spent online last Cyber Monday (the Monday after Thanksgiving, when retailers urge Americans to shop online).About 100m purchases were logged, accounting for 80% of the packages shipped that day.Couriers(怏递员)were buried in parcels.So life is good for China's e-tailers, then? Not exactly.The number of digital marketers isincreasing and online sales are booming.Consumers are enjoying lower prices, better service and more variety.The problem? The pressure on profits in Chinese e-commerce is worse than in America, reckons Elinor Leung of CLSA, a broker."Almost no one makes money," she says.The fiercest battles are being fought between online retailers and their bricks-and-mortar(实体的)rivals.Dangdang, a firm.that resembles Amazon,.and 360buy, another online retailer, have cut prices fiercely.Tencent, a cash-rich online giant known for its instant-messaging software, is splashing out to win market share.360buy has also just raised $400m from investors to do the same.But it is unclear how much longer such firms can burn through capital.63.What's the best title of this passage?A.The Ambition of AlibabaB.Fierce Competition between RetailersC.A Newly Sprung Festival for the SinglesD.Chinese Booming and Developing E-commerce64.According to Zeng Ming, this year Alibaba will .A.outweigh Amazon and eBay in worldwide influenceB.rank top among all the Internet firmsC.have more than 159 billion dollars' saleD.create another sales miracle just like the one on Singles Day65.How many packages were shipped on November ll th from Alibaba's online platforms?A.About 80 million.B.About 100 million.C.About 125 million.C.About 180 million.66.What's the author's attitude towards online retailers in China?A.Optimistic.B.Concerned.C.Sympathetic.D.Indifferent.ENicole Delian, 17, suffers from a condition that makes her sleep up to 19 hours a day and as much as 64 days in a row.Nicole Delian is tired of sleeping.This 17-year-old teenager from North Fayette, Pa., has a rare condition called Kleine-Levin Syndrome -- or "Sleeping Beauty Syndrome" -- that makes her sleep 18 to 19 hours a day.And when she does wake up, she is often so tired out that she is in a sleepwalking state and doesn't remember doing basic things like eating, according to KDKA-TV.Nicole's sleepwalking state has been so severe that she once slept through the holidays, awaking one day in January when she finally opened Christmas gifts alongside her family, according to ChartiersValley.Patch.com."She's never really adjusted to it," her mother, Vicki Delien told the website."She's 17 now and it really upsets her.She's missed out on a lot."Delien told talk show host Jeff Probst that the teen has at times slept 32 to 64 days in a row, waking only in sleepwalking mode to eat.Kleine-Levin Syndrome is incredibly rare, only affecting about l,000 people worldwide, andvery hard to diagnose.In Nicole's' case, it took 25 months for doctors to diagnose her, according to ChartiersValley.Patch.com, and everything from a virus, to epilepsy(癫痫)to West Nile was mentioned, including, unfortunately, the possibility she was faking it for attention..When a typical episode of Sleeping Beauty Syndrome begins, the patient becomes progressively drowsy(昏昏欲睡的)and sleeps for most of the day and night, waking only to eat or go to the bathroom, according to the Klein-Levin Syndrome Foundation website."When awake, the patient's whole behavior is changed, often appearing “stupid" or childlike.When awake he experiences confusion, complete lack of energy, and lack of emotions."Patients also report that everything seems out of focus, and that they are hypersensitive to noise and light.Some patients also have intense food cravings(渴望).The Delians did not say whether Nicole has experienced these symptoms.There is no known cure, but Nicole's family is using a combination of epilepsy and narcolepsy (发作性嗜睡病)medication to minimize the incidents to just two a year.67.What's the reflection of Nicole's sleepwalking state?A.Being forgetful.B.Missing Christmas.C.Sleeping around the clock.D.Being exhausted and bad-tempered.68.According to the passage, Kleine-Levin Syndrome .A.is not impossible for doctors to diagnoseB.affects approximately l,000 people all round the countryC.is also known as Sleeping Beauty Syndrome which only affects femalesD.makes those suffering this condition sleep as much as 64 days in a row without eating 69.Frorn the passage we can infer that .A.the disease will change the patients' behavior for goodB.the case of Nicole has been covered several times by different mediaC.the.patients of this kind are more and more sleepy when the syndrome beginsD.the patients of this kind become too sensitive to being exposed to any noise and light 70.According to the passage, Nicole .A.was once suspected of lying about her conditionB.has a good appetite for food because of the diseaseC.has adapted to the condition and can well cope with itD.will be cured of the disease by using the combined medication参考答案51—54 BBBA 55—58 : ADDA 59-62 ADCD 63—66 DCCB 67—70 AABA。

2014年4月份百题精练(1)英语 Word版含答案

2014年4月份百题精练(1)英语试题第三部分:阅读理解(共15小题,每题2分,满分30分)ALooking for some inspiration or the “write” kind of ideas for your creative stories? To start with, some writers describe winter by using their five senses or their imagination. Others write on their favorite winter activity. Whatever you choose to write about, working on a winter story can always help to improve your writing skills. Now read the following story and see if it helps get rid of any icy writing block you’ve been struggling with.A Winter AdventureBeep, beep. Beep-beep: the alarm clock rang. Slowly, I got out of warm bed down onto the wooden floor which the winter had thrown its cold upon. The bitter cold temperature penetrated (穿透)my socks and I hurried to put my feet in shoes.Looking out of the window, I watched the white snow, soft and thick, drop onto rooftops and trees. Half an hour later, finishing the last of my hot chocolate, I prepared to enter the adventure that waited for me outside. I buttoned my jacket and fastened my boots. Hat on, I opened the door and was greeted by the winter coldness.In the depths of winter, the early morning did not have the rush of the rest of the year. Most of my neighbors were put off by the cold, and stayed in bed until the sun had climbed higher into the sky.Unseen by those who remained locked inside their homes, warm in their beds, I enjoyed being alone with the beauty of the wintertime. Those indoors were unable to appreciate the snow-capped, ice crystals(水晶体), frost and the crisp(清新的)breeze. For them, the coming of winter meant just the arrival of the cold.Appreciation depends on contrasts. One cannot love the warmth of April if one has not known the freezing cold of winter. Later that year, the heat of the sun on my skin would be all the more wonderful for my memories of that cold morning and others like it.56. The underlined word “adventure” refers to____________.A. getting out of bed on the cold winter morningB. enjoying the loveliness of the winter outdoorsC. going skiing on the cold winter morningD. throwing snowballs with friends57. According to the story A Winter Adventure, most of the neighbors _________.A. didn’t work in winterB. stayed up late in winterC. missed the beauty of winterD. enjoyed the seasons except winter58. Which of these statements is true according to the story A Winter Adventure?A. Of all the seasons, the writer loves winter most.B. The writer regrets that he went out on the freezing cold winter morning.C. The writer believes contrast makes our experiences of the seasons lovelier.D. The writer values the autumn and summer more than the winter.59. What function does the story A Winter Adventure serve?A. To share some winter thoughts with readers.B. To show readers how to work on a writing stories.C. To inspire readers to take more exercise in winter.D. To tell readers how to appreciate the beauty of winter.BI needed to buy a digital camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps, maybe occasionally for magazines.Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store.There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an assistant, “Can I have one of those?” He looked perturbed. “Do you want to try it first?” he said. It didn't quite sound like a question. “Do I need to?” I replied. “There's nothing wrong with it?” This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad. “No, no.But you should try it,” he said encouragingly. “Compare it with the others.”I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly H into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice.In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers…and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well. Why do we think that new options still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.60. The shop assistant insisted that the writer should ________.A. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with itB. compare the camera he had chosen with the othersC. get more information about different companiesD. trust him and stop asking questions61. What does the writer mean by “it would be worth half what I paid for it”( Paragraph 2)?A. He should get a 50% discount.B. The price of the camera was unreasonably high.C. The quality of the camera was not good.D. The camera would soon fall in value.62. The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he ________.A. knew very little about itB. didn't trust the shop assistantC. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the bestD. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers63. It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer's opinion, ________.A. waste too much money on camerasB. cameras have become an important part of our daily lifeC. we don't actually need so many choices when buying a productD. famous companies care more about profit than qualityCIn this day and age when we have a tendency to toss toys that are even slightly worn, it is tough to believe that there is a “hospital” where dolls can be repaired and brought back to their original glory. What is even more amazing is that such a place has existed for a century and is still going strong. Welcome to Sydney’s “original Doll Hospital” that celebrated its l00t h birthday, on February 22nd, 2013.In 1913, a general store owner in Sydney began importing dolls. However, the rubber bands (橡皮圈) that held them together would often break. Luckily for him, his brother Harold Chapman Sr., was a good handyman and set asid e a little “hospital” area in the store to repair the delicate toys. But when customers found out about this, they began bringing in their raggedy dolls, stuffed animals and even leather goods and umbrellas --- starting what would become a family business for many generations.In l930, Chapman’s son also, named Harold, relocated the doll hospital and expanded the business even further, by agreeing to repair anything that could be fixed, no matter how big or small. While business was robust, the real boom came in 1938 during World War Two. Faced with extreme restrictions, new dolls and toys became a rarity, and young girls and boys had no option, but to get their existing ones lovingly restored.While it does not have as many employees today, the hospital that is run by his son Geoff Chapman now sits in a spiffy location with a beautiful store-front that features everything a little girl could possibly wish for, from new to lovingly restored, to even extremely rare and valuable dolls. Also in keeping with modern times and dolls, the doctors are now specialists --- some focus on bringing back to life modern dolls, while others stick to antiques. And then there are also thesoft toy experts and accessory repair experts.Though it may not appear to be, the doctors say their jobs are very interesting given that no two dolls are the same or need the same repairs and that just like medical doctors they have no idea what obstacle they will have to face when they come to work each day. The one advantage? There are no emergency night calls to worry about!64. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that __________.A. people showed little interest in having their toys repaired at firstB. most of the toys that had broken were thrown away by HaroldC. stores in Sydney d idn’t produce toys for kids at the beginning of 1900sD. the toy repairing business came into being rather accidently65. What can we learn about people working in the toy repairing hospital?A. They work in that hospital mainly because they love toys.B. Most of them focus on repairing modern dolls for little kids.C. They are not capable of repairing toys that are extremely rare.D. There are different experts who specialize in different types of toys.66. Which of the following words can des cribe the doctors’ work according to the last paragraph?A. Simple.B. Boring.C. Worthless.D. Challenging.DOur bedroom has no full-length mirror. There is one at the canteen entrance. I always cherish a secret desire to take a glance before it at myself in a beautiful new dress. However, each time when it comes to the fulfillment, I get seized with such an uneasiness that I literally stagger (踉跄) away --- backing out at the critical moment.At the root of it is my lack of confidence by which I have been enslaved since childhood. It embarrasses me at the mildest praise, crushes my utmost efforts to say “No”, and prevents me from asking my parents for one cent more than necessary. Among other things, lack of confidence has wormed its way into my love of piano.At the age of 14, one Sunday morning, I was woken up by a resounding hymn (洪亮的圣歌). Tracing that call of God into a neighboring church, I found myself deeply attracted by the melody of a piano --- something beyond the means of my parents. To make it worse, people say a pianist is supposed to have music in the blood, but I believe I had none from my engineer father and technician mother. For days on end, I kept thinking of nothing else. I had a dream.It wasn’t a dream after gold, whic h made some of my close friends to engage in business as self-employed traders or street peddlers. I was sometimes dazzled by their gold rings or elegant necklaces behind which, however, I seemed to catch sight of skeletons in their cupboards and was frightened away from the craze for fortunate. Out of despair, I kept it to myself, lack of confidence weighing heavy on me. I could do nothing but turn to my dream for comfort, for courage to aimhigh and wish for the impossible. I was convinced that before I could afford anything expensive (to me, it was a piano), I should climb up the academic ladder as high as possible.For the next nine years, I carefully held back my desire for music to keep my search for learning, especially in English studies. My efforts were so rewarding that I went successfully through high school and college in my hometown. When I received the admission notice for a second degree course at a famous university in Beijing, the national capital, tears welled up in my eyes. I knew my command of English was my wealth, for I might make a deal with a pianist who would give me access to his piano in exchange for English lessons. And that has come true!To this day, whenever I lay my fingers on the snow-white keyboard, ready for a melody, I still feel shy. I am quite aware of my limited music talent, but as a shy dreamer, I have found my way to success.67. According to the first two paragraphs, we can learn that the writer is __________.A. helplessB. shyC. honestD. considerate68. Why did the writer say her desire for the piano was a dream in the third paragraph?a. Her parents couldn’t afford a piano.b. Her parents didn’t want her to engage in music.c. She thought she had no gift for music.d. She could do nothing but accept the reality.A. a, bB. c, dC. a, cD. b, d69. How did the writer make her dream of playing the piano come true?A. She turned to her friends for financial aid.B. She taught English in exchange for piano lessons.C. She was admitted to a university for a second degree course in music.D. She earned money by doing a part-time job to pay for her piano lessons.70. What can we learn from the writer’s example?A. Wealth always comes after a great effort.B. Confidence is a key factor in success.C. We should be academically successful before other achievements.D. We should make every effort to turn a dream into reality.参考答案56-59 BCCB 60-63 BDCC 64-66 DDD 67-70 BCBD。

ABongos was a happy, artistic girl.She had one big ambition to play the drums in a band.But one big obstacle lay in her way.To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next - door to a lot of old people.Many of them are sick.She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves.So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower.But there was always someone it would annoy.One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air.At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble.This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside.All that would be left inside was a drum kit(成套设备)and a chair.Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous.Many people came to see her play in her space bubble.Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and stated giving concerts.Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey.Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: "If those old people next-door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened."56.Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?A.Because she didn't want others to hear her play.B.Because she didn't mean to disturb others.C.Because she didn't have her own room.D.Because she didn't like her neighbors.57.Brenda started to give concerts .A.after she practiced in her space bubbleB.when she became part of the unique space journeyC.after she became a real musical astronautD.when people came to see her in the space bubble58.Brenda became famous because .A.she was good at music and science B.she became a real musical astronaut C.she invented a special way of practice D.she played well and had a talent59.It can be inferred from the text that “” .A.He laughs best who laughs last B.It' s never too old to learnC.Two heads are better than one D.One good turn deserves anotherBCelebrate the arts at HarvardARTS FIRST: April 28-May l, 2012Experience non-stop art !

Is it because they are lazy?Of course not.In fact, the difference in spelling was created by Noah Webster (1758—1843).He is a teacher who reformed English to make American identity stronger.Linguists celebrated his 250th birthday on October 16,2008.After the Revolutionary War (1775—1783), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary, rather than rely on British versions.He dropped the British "u" in some words.And he changed "centre" into "center" for children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded.Webster wasn’t shy about expressing his opinions.In defining(定义)preposterous (unreasonable), he wrote: "A Republican government in the hands of females is preposterous."Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000 -word dictionary in 1828 with his American - style spellings.He also added local words.His dictionary was widely used in schools.Linguists believed it helped a new nation achieve unity and cultural independence at a time when most were focused on political freedom."He was the shaper of our language and the shaper of American identity," said Joshua Kendall, who is working on a biography about Webster."He at last got us united through our language.66.According to the passage, when he worked on his dictionary, Noah Webster did all of the following EXCEPT ____.A.dropping "u" in all the British wordsB.changing "centre" into "center"C.adding local wordsD.voicing his opinion67.When did Noah Webster probably begin his project of the dictionary?A.In 1758.B.In 1783.C.In 1800.D.In 1828.68.Why did Noah Webster create these differences in his dictionary?A.Because he wanted to make English simple and easy.B.Because he wanted American English to have its own characteristics.C.Because he wanted to achieve political freedom.D.Because he wanted to show that the USA is stronger than the UK.69.Which of the following words can best describe Noah Webster' s work?A.Interesting B.Boring C.Unfinished D.Meaningful 70.Which of the following would probably be the best title for the passage?A.Webster's dictionaryB.American identityC.The shaper of American EnglishD.Spelling differences between American and British English第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

ARobert Owen was born in Wales in 1771.At the age of ten he went to work.His employer had a large private library so Owen was able to educate himself.He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was given the job of superintendent(监工)at a Manchester cotton mill.He was so successful there that he persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark mill in Scotland.When he arrived at New Lanark, it was a dirty little town with a population of 2, 000 people.Nobody paid any attention to the workers' houses or their children's education.The conditions in the factories were very bad.There was a lot of crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.Owen improved the houses.He encouraged people to be clean and save money.He opened a shop and sold the workers cheap, well-made goods to help them.He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks.Above all, he fixed his mind on the children's education.In 1816, he opened the first free primary school in Britain.People came from all over the country to visit Owen's factory.They saw that the workers were healthier and more efficient than in other towns.Their children were better fed and better educated.Owen tried the same experiment in the United States.He bought some land there in 1825, but the community was too far away.He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.Owen never stopped fighting for his idea.Above all, he believed that people are not born good or bad.He was a practical man and his ideas were practical, too."If you give people good working conditions," he thought, "they will work well and, the most important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they will be better people."56.For Owen, his greatest achievement in New Lanark was_ _.A.improving worker's housesB.helping people to save moneyC.preventing men from getting drunkD.providing the children with a good education57.From the passage we may infer that Owen was born _ _.A.into a rich family B.into a noble familyC.into a poor family D.into a middle class family 58.Owen's experiment in the United States failed because __ .A.he lost all his moneyB.he did not buy enough landC.people who visited it were not impressedD.it was too far away for him to organize it properly59.We may infer form the passage that no children in Britain could enjoy free education until _ __.A.1771 B.1816 C.1825 D.1860BNever go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice.If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you'll probably buy more than you plan to.Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn't enough for consumers these days.Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store.First, you check the weekly newspaper ads.Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things.In other words, don't buy anything just because it's cheaper than usual! "New and Improved!" or "All Natural" on the front of a package influence you.Instead, read the list of contents on the back.Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands.Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages.These products are cheaper because producers don't spend much money on packing or advertising.The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands.In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous.Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money.Although these stores aren't very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads.In other words, well —informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation.They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.60.All the following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items" in Para-graph 2 except __.A.ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brandsB.producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary itemsC.ordinary items never say "New and Improved" or "All Natural"D.the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands61.What does the writer think about ads?A.They are believable.B.They are attractive.C.They are harmful.D.They are helpful to consumers 62.One of the author's suggestions to consumers is_ _.A.to make use of advertisements carefullyB.to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brandsC.to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunchD.not to buy items with words like "New and Improved" or "All Natural"63.The author implies that _ _.A.advertisements sometimes don't tell the truthB.discount clothing stores are only good places to go toC.going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy more than you plan toD.the quality of ordinary items is usually high and the prices are relatively lowCCAREER OPPORTUNITES(1)Full-time Secretary Position Available: Applicants should have at least 2 year's experience and be able to type 60 words a minute.No computer skills required.Apply in person at United Business Ltd, 17 Browning Street, Leeds.(2)Part-time Job: We require three part-time shop assistants to work during the evening.No experience required, applicants should be between 18 and 26 years old.Call 0115?65643 for more information.(3)Computer Trained Secretaries: Do you have experience working with computers?

2014年8月份百题精练(1)英语试题第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每题2分,满分40分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AWith its private hidden coves(小海湾)and pink beaches, Bermuda is a perfect place for relaxation and romance, 'though this tiny string of Atlantic islands covers only 21 square miles, there's much to see and do.Spend the days boating, golfing, shopping or swimming with dolphins.Explore secret caves, visit historical museums and churches.Bermuda's nightlife offers everything from fine dining to fast food, jazz clubs to Irish pubs.Even though a large number of people live on this small island, you should never feel crowded.There arc no ad boards or signs, and relatively few cars to spoil the beauty of the countryside.Most houses seem to fit quite naturally into the scenery.Bermuda consists of nine parishes(教区).Pembroke, which surrounds the capital city of I lamilton, is the largest parish in population; St.George has the largest land area.Because of its small size, it's easy to get to know the island.There's much to see, whether you travel by bike, ferry, bus.or taxi.You'll need plenty of time.though, because the pace is slow.Cars and other motorized vehicles must observe the top speed of 15 mph in Hamilton and St.George, 20 mph in the country side.The speed limits are strictly enforced, and there are soovere punishments for breaking the rules.Once you've done all the must-sees, you'll want to walk around and make discoveries on your own.The best parishes for walking are Somerset, St.George, and Hamilton.But don't fill your days with too much structured sightseeing.You'll want time to lie on the beach and play in the water, and to enjoy moments like sitting by the harbor in the late afternoon, enjoying the views as the sailing boats pass by.Absorbing Bermuda's beauty at your own pace, and stopping to chat with the occasional islander, is really the point.56.According to the text, which of the following is not true of St.George?A.It has the largest population.B.It has the largest land area.C.It is suitable to be toured on foot.D.Its cars travel in a very low speed.57.In Bermuda, you can enjoy all the following except _ ___ __.A.swimming with dolphins B.its colorful nightlifeC.visiting some churches D.fast racing cans58.You will need plenty of time to sightsee Bermuda because___ __.A.it is a crowded islandB.there is no public transportationC.it has very strict speed limitsD.you have to walk around only59.In the writer's opinion, .A.Bermuda is, a relaxing and natural placeB.people in Bermuda are living a lazy lifeC.it's unreasonable to forbid ad boards and signsD.everyone should finish the must-sees first60.From the last paragraph we can learn that ____.A.it's easy to enjoy the natural beauty in BermudaB.to experience Bermuda's beauty freely is necessaryC.it's difficult to chat with local islanders in BermudaD.not everyone is allowed to lie on the beachBAlthough new laws have been passed in some Americanstates to cut down on distracted(分心的)driving, manyaccidents and deaths were still related with it, especiallyusing cell phones while driving. Recently the Obamaadministration is considering disabling cell phones in cars,aiming to out down cell-phone-related road deaths.Transportation Secretaryy Ray LaHood, the nation’s anti-distracted-driving supporter, said in an interview on November 18 that federal officials are looking at technology to disable cell phones inside cars.“I think it will be done," LaHood said."I think the technology is there and 1 think you're going to see the technology become adaptable in automobiles to disable these cell phones.We need to do a lot more if we were going to save lives."Also on Thursday, the transportation government started a new "Faces of Distracted Driving" video campaign that features people who have been killed or lost their loved ones because of inattentive drivers.The video features heartbreaking stories of children killed in crashes because of phoning or text messaging, and new videos are expected to be added every few weeks.A driver is four times more likely to crash while using a mobile phone.More than 5,500 people were killed last year by distracted drivers, and another 500,000 were injured.LaHood has said it is never safe to talk on a cell phone while driving, hands-free or not, because it can really cause distraction.Incidentally, a lot of people seem to agree with this viewpoint—a new research shows nearly two-thirds of Americans support a national ban on the use of cell phones while driving, even if the driver is using a hands-free device(装置).But the research didn't ask how people feel about government-issued mobile phone scramblers or other disabling devices.61.The Obama administration is considering disabling cell phones in cars because ___ .A.there is no national laws to prevent the use of cell phones in carsB.most drivers take no notice of American lawsC.using phones while driving has caused many accidentsD.cell phone technology needs to be developed62.We can learn from the text that Ray LaHood___ .A.is in charge of the invention of the technologyB.thinks it's easy and practical to invent the technologyC.thinks it's unnecessary to use cell phone while drivingD.is strongly for the use of the technology in cars63.The "Faces of Distracted Driving" video campaign aims to ____ .A.find out the real drivers who caused the accidentsB.make the public aware of the terrible results of distracted drivingC.call on drivers to buy the new device which disables cell phones in carsD.show that most of the victims in car crashes are children64.In the last paragraph, the "mobile phone scramblers" are probably___ .A.a kind of disabling devicesB.a kind of hands-free devicesC.a new kind of cell phonesD.new devices to help text messaging65.We can infer from the text that___ __.A.most people realize the harmfulncss of distracted drivingB.most people would like to choose hands-free devices while drivingC.the disabling devices in cars will be widely used if it is freeD.the writer is not sure whether disabling devices will be accepted by the driversCIt would be a totally dark world without your eyesight.However, there is a lot we can do to preserve our eyesight.Protect your eyes from the sun.Continuous exposure to the sun's UV rays(紫外线)can severely damage your eyes over time.The UV rays from the sun will result in brown spots in the eyes or some eye diseases, in order to prevent harmful UV rays.if you plan to be in the sun for extended periods of time, you need to wear protective eye wear.Practice disease prevention.Diabetes(糖尿病)is among the few diseases that can cause blindness if left untreated, mistreated or undiagnosed.One of the best ways to prevent disease related blindness is to prevent or control your disease.For example, if you have diabetes it is highly recommended that you eat a healthy diet.check your blood sugar often and lake medicine if your blood sugar is above 150.Add vitamin A to your diet.This concept is usually taught during your younger years.Vitamin A is required for the production of rhodopsin which is an eye pigment(色素)highly sensitive to light that is used to see in poor lighting conditions.To get your healthy portion of vitamin A, you can go to your local grocery store and pick up carrots, broccoli and other cruciferous(十字花科)vegetables.Visit your eye doctor routinely.Visiting your eye doctor can keep you up to dale on your eye health.You should visit your eye doctor for an eye exam once every one to two years (more often if you wear glasses)to help you keep good eyesight.You are advised to see your eye doctorimmediately if you experience eye diseases or symptoms like loss of eye vision, eye pain, redness and itching around the eyes because prolonged eye diseases can result in permanent eye damage or blindness.66.In which section in a web site can you see this text?A.Family.B.Food.C.Sports.D.Health.67.The writer takes diabetes for example in order to tell us .A.the painfulness of being blindB.some diseases can damage eyesightC.the best way to prevent this kind of diseasesD.the importance of healthy diet68.If you sometimes can't see things clearly at dusk, you___ __.A.are sure to have some kind of eye diseaseB.must have exposed your eyes to the sun for a long timeC.should add more vitamin A to you daily dietD.should have your eyes examined and operated69.We can learn from the text that _ __.A.all vegetables arc helpful to our eyesightB.Vitamin A can be more helpful when we are youngC.taking Vitamin A pills can be more helpful to our eyesightD.a diet with no Vitamin A can cause blindness70.The underlined word "prolonged" in the last paragraph can probably be replaced by .A.delayed B.frightened C.hidden D.slightDAbout five years ago, an American electrical engineer namedScott Brusaw and his wife Julie camp up with the idea of puttingsolar panels(控制板)on the ground rather than the roof. Then theybegan to develop the Solar Roadways. The Solar Roadway isan intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using powerfrom the sun. while providing safer driving conditions, along withpower and data delivery. They predict that the Solar Roadway will pay for itself through the generation of electricity along with other forms of income and that the same o\money that is being used to build and resurface current roads can be used to build the Solar Roadways.Each Solar Road Panel measures roughly 4 meters by 4 meters and contains a microprocessor (微处理器)that monitors and controls the panel, while communicating with neighboring panels and the vehicles traveling overhead.The inventors suggest that this provides a communications device every 4 meters on every road which could be used for example to warn drivers of cars which are moving across a centre line and various other speed control problems.The top of the Solar Road panels is made of super-strong glass that would offer vehicles the tractions(抓地力)they need.According to the inventors, the Solar Roadway creates and carries clean renewable electricityand therefore electric vehicles can be recharged at any conveniently located rest slop, or at any business that has paved Solar Road Panels in their parking lots.The inventors say their Solar Roadway has many functions and advantages from main roads to driveways, parking lots, bike paths, sidewalks and runways.The Federal Highway Administration has given Brusaw $100,000 to develop the invention and Brusaw hopes to build a smart-road parking lot in the coming spring.71.In the inventors' opinion, the Solar Roadway _ _.A.is too expensive to build at presentB.costs no more money than current roadsC.can provide as many data as present computersD.will bring them a large sum of money72.The underlined word "they" in Paragraph 2 refers to .A.the panels B.the inventors C.the researchers D.the vehicles 73.The Solar Roadway includes all the following advantages except .A.providing safer driving conditionsB.helping drivers communicate with each other while drivingC.creating and carrying clean renewable electricityD.warning drivers of various speed control problems74.It can be inferred from the text that .A.the Solar Roadway has already been put into useB.$100,000 is only enough to build a smart-road parking lotC.the Solar Roadway is not available for gas-powered carsD.future electric vehicles can be charged anytime and anywhere75.What can be the best title for the text?A.Solar-powered smart road of the futureB.The great changes on the roadwayC.The influence the Solar Roadway has on peopleD.The Solar Road—much faster road参考答案56—60 ADCAB 61—65 CDBAD 66—70 DBCBA 71—75 BDBCA。

2013年8月份百题精练(1)英语含答案

2013年8月份百题精练(1)英语试题第三部分阅读理解(共15小题,每题2分,满分30分)AThere are two kinds of people in the world.Those of the first kind are born idlers (游手好闲者),taking interest in nothing.It seems what they live for is to pass time idly.They simply don’t know why they have to do so,nor will they bother to ask.The other kind are those who take things seriously and never wish to idle away their life.But only a part of the second group are eager enough to make success.All the others fail to make enough effort to make their dreams come true.Why do things so happen to them? What are the reasons?I later find out that some people are determined.They are “igniters” that catch fire of their own,giving light and heart.But that’s not the case with others.They may be fuels but not igniters.As pieces of wood or coal,they need a match or a lighter to make them burn so that their energy can be released to give off light and heat.The majority of people need some igniter to light them.Thus igniter becomes a must for those people to succeed.Unless a suitable igniter comes their way, they will always remain idle like cold unused firewood or coal.Fortunately, such an igniter is not difficult to meet.One may find it in an instructive book,a film story,a few words of a close friend, someadvice of a good teacher,a pleasant journey,or an unexpected love.Any of these,coming at the right time,can serve as an igniter to start one's enthusiasm for learning or for a better career,to turn him from a passive state of waiting to an active state of pursuing,to lend him strength to go ahead bravely.In that case, what he has prepared for years will be quickly turned into fruitful reality.Such an igniter may turn up of itself, but most likely we have to find it ourselves.Never let a chance slide away, for it is the key to your success.56.According to the text, “________" take things seriously,but may not be able to succeed.A.idlers B.igniters C.fuels D.lighters 57.According to the writer,what do most people definitely need to succeed?A.Storing a lot of energy. B.Great interest in everything.C.An igniter coming at the right time.D.Wonderful dreams about a bright future.58.The writer writes the article to _________.A.describe two kinds of peopleB.encourage people to find chances to succeedC.praise those who work hard D.make fun of idlersBFor many years,I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size.I believed that when the weight disappeared,it would take oldwounds, hurts and rejections with it.Many weight—conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything.Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved,being special, and being cherished.We fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal.We work very hard to realize this dream.Then, at last, we find ourselves there.But we often gain back what we have lost.Even so,we continue to believe that next time it will be different.Next time, we will keep it off.Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self-worth, and, of course,love.It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty.Beauty standards vary with culture.In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds.More importantly,if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive hard to change our body,but in vain.We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves.When we change our attitudes toward ourselves,the whole world changes.59.What does the underlined word “everything” in Paragraph 2 mean? A.All the problems.B.All the properties.C.The whole world.D.The absolute truth.60.What can be inferred about the author?A.The author is a Samoan.B.The author succeeded losing weight.C.The author has been troubled by her weight.D.The author probably got wounded in an accident.61.According to the text, those who have lost weight first and gained it back later feel _______.A.angry about the regained weightB.indifferent to the regained weightC.optimistic about future plans on weight controlD.they should give up their future plans on weight control 62.The text tries to stress the importance of ____________.A.body size B.attitudes toward lifeC.culture difference D.different beauty standardsC“Soon,you're going to have to move it out!” cried my neighbor on seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind or at least known in my neighborhood.One tiny 9—inch plant,bought for $1.25 in the spring,has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants,and is well on its way to the front door.Roses requ ire a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work.As it is,I have a garden full ofsweet-smelling roses for most of the year.Bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later.It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant.A big mistake.Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes.The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥)have turned the little plant into a tall bush.The cage I placed around it has disappeared under the thick leaves.Now when harvesting the fruit, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found, I have to reach down and under to pick the tomatoes.I found two full—blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June.But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.Here I am faced with a painful small decision:To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers ten to twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses.Like Scarlett in Gone With Wind,I'll think about that tomorrow.63.What are the requirements for the healthy growth of roses?A.A lot of care and the right soil.B.Frequent pruning and fertilizing.C.Tomato plants grown alongside.D.Cages placed around the roots.64.The writer planted the tomato because _________.A.it cost only $1.25 B.the soil was just right for itC.there was room for it in the garden D.the roses’ branches needed to be covered65.This year the writer’s roses were __________.A.removed from the rose bed B.picked along with the tomatoesC.mostly damaged by too much sunlight D.largely hidden under the tomato plant66.In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that ________.A.the roses cost the writer little moneyB.the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoesC.someone will help the writer make the decisionD.the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoesDThere is a story about British poet Samuel Coleridge.He was writing a poem when he was interrupted by a knock at the door.That was an age before telephones.Someone was delivering a message.When Coleridge got back to his poem,he had lost his inspiration.His poetic mood had been broken by the knock on his door.His unfinished poem,which could otherwise have been a masterpiece, would now never be more than a fragment (片段).This story tells us how unexpected communication candestroy an important thought,which brings us to the cell phone.We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our cell phones, and this is actually a healthy,protective development.“I didn’t hear it ring" or “I didn't realize my phone had shut off” are among the lies that we tell to give ourselves space where we’re beyond reach.In fact, we have “Do Not Disturb” signs on the doors of hotel rooms,so why must we feel guilty when it comes to cell phones? Why must we apologize if we decide to shut off the phone for a while?Cell phones make long-distance communication common, but also endanger our time.Now,time alone or a conversation with someone next to us without being interrupted by a phone is something to be cherished.Sometimes, even cell phone devotees,myself usually included,can't help wanting to throw their phone away.But we don’t and won’t,and there is really no need.We have to develop a healthy contempt (轻视)for the rings of our own phones.Ease yourself of making and receiving cell phone calls.If we don’t talk to the caller right now, we surely will shortly later.A cell phone call deserves no greater priority than a random word from the person next to us.The call on my cell phone may be the one–in–a–million from Steven Spielberg—who has finally read my novel and wants to make it his next movie,but most likely it is not, so I’d better think about the idea that I just had for a new story,or the slice of pizza I’ll eat for lunch.67.The writer tells us the story in Paragraph 1 to __________.A.direct readers’ attention to the main topicB.show how important inspiration is to a poetC.emphasize the disadvantage of not having a cell phone D.encourage readers to read the works of the poet68.The writer thinks telling “white lies” on the cell phones is ________.A.a way of showing that you don’t like the callerB.natural for us to keep our secretC.basically a good way to protect one’s privacyD.something we should feel guilty about69.According to the text, what’s the most annoying problem caused by cell phones?A.People fail to notice anything else.B.People feel guilty when they can’t answer the cell phones.C.Cell phones interrupt people’s private time.D.With cell phones, it’s impossible to be unreachable.70.What does the last paragraph suggest?A.You should have lunch before you answer a call.B.A person who calls us from afar deserves more attention.C.Coleridge once called to talk about the author's novel.D.Never let cell phones interfere too much with your life.参考答案56—58 CCB 59—62 ACCB 63—66 ACDB67—70 ACCD。

AAbout 1966 or so, a NASA(美国宇航局)team doing work for the Apollo moon mission(阿波罗登月计划)took the astronauts near Tuba City.There the land of the Navajo Reservation looks very much like the lunar surface.Among all the trucks and large vehicles were two large figures that were dressed in full lunar space suits.Nearby, a Navajo shepherd (牧羊人)and his son were watching the strange creatures walk about, occasionally being watched over by other NASA workers.The two Navajo people were noticed and approached by the NASA people.Since the shepherd and his son did not know English, they asked the NASA people who the strange creatures were.The NASA people told them that they were just men that were getting ready to go to the moon.The shepherd became very excited and asked if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts.The NASA officials thought this was a great idea so they provided a tape recorder.After the man gave them his message, they asked his son to translate.His son

remember is that you must be willing to learn.It does n’t mean that you must always like the subject.It does mean, however, that you must be wil1ing to do whatever is necessary to learn.Try to understand why it is important and how it will help you now and later to do and learn other things.Knowing mathematics facts will be useful in your whole life.Knowing how to spell makes any kind of writing easier.Sometimes the subject that you think is going to be uninteresting will be exciting when you begin to work at it and understand it more clearly.Learning things can be fun if you are willing to work with them.Here’s some advice for you: have a certain time each day and a quiet place with good lighting for study, so that you can concentrate on your study without interruptions (中断); have everything ready before you sit down to study, a dictionary, paper, a pen and books; be sure you understand what you should learn before you start; read carefully and pay special attention to the most important things; when memorizing, first find out the main parts and then recite the whole thing; check your homework after you finish it; never forget the importance of review and preview.Don’t

life, a new study has suggested.Being born in a certain month appears to indicate the possibility of what job a person will end up with, the study by the Office for National Statistics found.Researchers have uncovered that the month in which babies are born could also affect everything from intelligence to length of life.A child born in December is more likely to become a dentist while someone whose birthday falls in January will tend to a debt collector, they found.A February birth appears to increase the chances of being an artist while March babies appear to go on to become pilots.Meanwhile, April and May are said to have a fairly even spread of professions, births in the summer months mean a much lower chance of becoming a high-earning football player, doctor or dentist.The study was gained by researchers who analyzed the birth months of people in 19 separate occupations using information from the last census (人口普查), the Daily Mail reported.Although these trends may be difficult to explain, relations between birth months and specific health problems have a scientific basis.Spring babies are at greater risk of illnesses including schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, asthma and autism.They may also be less clever than classmates born in other parts of the year.(http://www.ebigear.com/news-115-76605.html)63.What does the underlined phrase

specific health problems one hasD“If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives — the big political stories, the news of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same.I think there will be more news of scientific research, though.It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因)engineering.In the future, I think there will be more reports of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do — as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read — sports and international news, etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media (媒体).They actually feed off each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but th at hasn’t happened.What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air.And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.67.What is the best title for the passage?A.The Best Way to Get NewsB.The Changes of MediaC.Make Your Own NewspaperD.The Future of Newspaper68.In the writer’s opinion, in the future, _______.A.more big political affairs, wars and

in the newspaper made by yourself?A.Sports and international news.B.A menu of important news.C.The most important news.D.What you are interested in.70.From the passage, we can infer

AWith its private hidden coves(小海湾)and pink beaches, Bermuda is a perfect place for relaxation and romance, 'though this tiny string of Atlantic islands covers only 21 square miles, there's much to see and do.Spend the days boating, golfing, shopping or swimming with dolphins.Explore secret caves, visit historical museums and churches.Bermuda's nightlife offers everything from fine dining to fast food, jazz clubs to Irish pubs.Even though a large number of people live on this small island, you should never feel crowded.There arc no ad boards or signs, and relatively few cars to spoil the beauty of the countryside.Most houses seem to fit quite naturally into the scenery.Bermuda consists of nine parishes(教区).Pembroke, which surrounds the capital city of I lamilton, is the largest parish in population; St.George has the largest land area.Because of its small size, it's easy to get to know the island.There's much to see, whether you travel by bike, ferry, bus.or taxi.You'll need plenty of time.though, because the pace is slow.Cars and other motorized vehicles must observe the top speed of 15 mph in Hamilton and St.George, 20 mph in the country side.The speed limits are strictly enforced, and there are soovere punishments for breaking the rules.Once you've done all the must-sees, you'll want to walk around and make discoveries on your own.The best parishes for walking are Somerset, St.George, and Hamilton.But don't fill your days with too much structured sightseeing.You'll want time to lie on the beach and play in the water, and to enjoy moments like sitting by the harbor in the late afternoon, enjoying the views as the sailing boats pass by.Absorbing Bermuda's beauty at your own pace, and stopping to chat with the occasional islander, is really the point.56.According to the text, which of the following is not true of St.George?A.It has the largest population.B.It has the largest land area.C.It is suitable to be toured on foot.D.Its cars travel in a very low speed.57.In Bermuda, you can enjoy all the following except _ ___ __.A.swimming with dolphins B.its colorful nightlifeC.visiting some churches D.fast racing cans58.You will need plenty of time to sightsee Bermuda because___ __.A.it is a crowded islandB.there is no public transportationC.it has very strict speed limitsD.you have to walk around only59.In the writer's opinion, .A.Bermuda is, a relaxing and natural placeB.people in Bermuda are living a lazy lifeC.it's unreasonable to forbid ad boards and signsD.everyone should finish the must-sees first60.From the last paragraph we can learn that ____.A.it's easy to enjoy the natural beauty in BermudaB.to experience Bermuda's beauty freely is necessaryC.it's difficult to chat with local islanders in BermudaD.not everyone is allowed to lie on the beachBAlthough new laws have been passed in some Americanstates to cut down on distracted(分心的)driving, manyaccidents and deaths were still related with it, especiallyusing cell phones while driving. Recently the Obamaadministration is considering disabling cell phones in cars,aiming to out down cell-phone-related road deaths.Transportation Secretaryy Ray LaHood, the nation’s anti-distracted-driving supporter, said in an interview on November 18 that federal officials are looking at technology to disable cell phones inside cars.“I think it will be done," LaHood said."I think the technology is there and 1 think you're going to see the technology become adaptable in automobiles to disable these cell phones.We need to do a lot more if we were going to save lives."Also on Thursday, the transportation government started a new "Faces of Distracted Driving" video campaign that features people who have been killed or lost their loved ones because of inattentive drivers.The video features heartbreaking stories of children killed in crashes because of phoning or text messaging, and new videos are expected to be added every few weeks.A driver is four times more likely to crash while using a mobile phone.More than 5,500 people were killed last year by distracted drivers, and another 500,000 were injured.LaHood has said it is never safe to talk on a cell phone while driving, hands-free or not, because it can really cause distraction.Incidentally, a lot of people seem to agree with this viewpoint—a new research shows nearly two-thirds of Americans support a national ban on the use of cell phones while driving, even if the driver is using a hands-free device(装置).But the research didn't ask how people feel about government-issued mobile phone scramblers or other disabling devices.61.The Obama administration is considering disabling cell phones in cars because ___ .A.there is no national laws to prevent the use of cell phones in carsB.most drivers take no notice of American lawsC.using phones while driving has caused many accidentsD.cell phone technology needs to be developed62.We can learn from the text that Ray LaHood___ .A.is in charge of the

distracted drivingB.most people would like to choose hands-free devices while drivingC.the disabling devices in cars will be widely used if it is freeD.the writer is not sure whether disabling devices will be accepted by the driversCIt would be a totally dark world without your eyesight.However, there is a lot we can do to preserve our eyesight.Protect your eyes from the sun.Continuous exposure to the sun's UV rays(紫外线)can severely damage your eyes over time.The UV rays from the sun will result in brown spots in the eyes or some eye diseases, in order to prevent harmful UV rays.if you plan to be in the sun for extended periods of time, you need to wear protective eye wear.Practice disease prevention.Diabetes(糖尿病)is among the few diseases that can cause blindness if left untreated, mistreated or undiagnosed.One of the best ways to prevent disease related blindness is to prevent or control your disease.For example, if you have diabetes it is highly recommended that you eat a healthy diet.check your blood sugar often and lake medicine if your blood sugar is above 150.Add vitamin A to your diet.This concept is usually taught during your younger years.Vitamin A is required for the production of rhodopsin which is an eye pigment(色素)highly sensitive to light that is used to see in poor lighting conditions.To get your healthy portion of vitamin A, you can go to your local grocery store and pick up carrots, broccoli and other cruciferous(十字花科)vegetables.Visit your eye doctor routinely.Visiting your eye doctor can keep you up to dale on your eye health.You should visit your eye doctor for an eye exam once every one to two years (more often if you wear glasses)to help you keep good eyesight.You are advised to see your eye doctor immediately if you experience eye diseases or symptoms like loss of eye vision, eye pain, redness and itching around the eyes because prolonged eye diseases can result in permanent eye damage or blindness.66.In which section in a web

idea of puttingsolar panels(控制板)on the ground rather than the roof. Then theybegan to develop the Solar Roadways. The Solar Roadway isan intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using powerfrom the sun. while providing safer driving conditions, along withpower and data delivery. They predict that the Solar Roadway will pay for itself through the generation of electricity along with other forms of income and that the same o\money that is being used to build and resurface current roads can be used to build the Solar Roadways.Each Solar Road Panel measures roughly 4 meters by 4 meters and contains a microprocessor (微处理器)that monitors and controls the panel, while communicating with neighboring panels and the vehicles traveling overhead.The inventors suggest that this provides a communications device every 4 meters on every road which could be used for example to warn drivers of cars which are moving across a centre line and various other speed control problems.The top of the Solar Road panels is made of super-strong glass that would offer vehicles the tractions(抓地力)they need.According to the inventors, the Solar Roadway creates and carries clean renewable electricity and therefore electric vehicles can be recharged at any conveniently located rest slop, or at any business that has paved Solar Road Panels in their parking lots.The inventors say their Solar Roadway has many functions and advantages from main roads to driveways, parking lots, bike paths, sidewalks and runways.The Federal Highway Administration has given Brusaw $100,000 to develop the invention and Brusaw hopes to build a smart-road parking lot in the coming spring.71.In the inventors' opinion, the Solar Roadway _ _.A.is too expensive to build at presentB.costs no more money than current roadsC.can provide as many data as present computersD.will bring them a large sum of money72.The underlined word "they" in Paragraph 2 refers to .A.the panels B.the inventors C.the researchers D.the vehicles 73.The Solar Roadway includes all the following advantages except .A.providing safer driving conditionsB.helping drivers communicate with each other while drivingC.creating and carrying clean renewable electricityD.warning drivers of various speed control problems74.It can be inferred from the text that .A.the Solar Roadway has already been put into useB.$100,000 is only enough to build a smart-road parking lotC.the Solar Roadway is not available for gas-powered carsD.future electric vehicles can be charged anytime and anywhere75.What can be the best title for the text?A.Solar-powered smart road of the futureB.The great changes on the roadwayC.The influence the Solar Roadway has on peopleD.The Solar Road—much faster road参考答案56—60 ADCAB 61—65 CDBAD 66—70 DBCBA 71—75 BDBCA。
