AThree years ago when I was still in the university, I also worke d at a restaurant.An old man named Mr. Candido Filio was one of our regular c ustomers at the restaurant. He was one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever known.Every Sunday the Philippine Star Newspaper had a special p age for word puzzles and among his peers (同龄人), Mr. Filio held the record for solving all the puzzles in less than five minutes. He encouraged me to solve them too and f or months and months, I did my best to beat him but failed.Then one Sunday, I did it! I was able to complete them before anyone else. Everyone cheered for me. He came up to me wi th a smile and said, “No one has ever beaten me before. You’re the first. I’ll have a prize for you tomorrow.”The next day, he gave me a special Scrabble (拼字游戏) set. I would have never been able to afford one like that b y myself. Then he said to me, “Kate, what do you think is man ’s final goal in life? Happiness, isn’t it? You are happy and tha t should be considered as a success. Many people spend a lif etime searching for that. Be thankful that you have found it.” I looked at him and knew that my life had changed, probably fo rever. He must have known that I always felt sad about not ha ving much money.He encouraged me to learn the game and love words. And true to his words, I was never able to beat him again.1. We can learn from the text that Mr. Filio ______.A. was generous to young peopleB. was good at word puzzlesC. lived quite near the restaurantD. won a prize from the Philippine Star Newspaper2. The author got a gift because ______.A. Mr. Filio was thankful for her helpB.

Interest is the best t eacherC. Scrabble makes a differenceD. His words change my lifeBWe all love our children and we all know how competitive the world is these days. What’s it going to be like when our childr en leave school? Will they have the skills they need to stay ah ead of the competition?All children need two basic skills to succeed. They must be able to read and they must be able to write. And with so much in formation available to them these days, they must be able to r ead quickly and accurately. That’s why your children need to be able to speed-read.It’s ironic (讽刺的) that at this time of space-age technology, we’ve gone back to one of the earliest forms of mass communication—the written word. The Internet has introduced a revival (重新流行) of writing, and if you can’t keep up, you’ll be left behind. Y ou certainly don’t want your children to be left behind.You can help to make sure that your children are excellent wri ters—you can help them to learn how to use their language. Better still, you can learn with them!You and your children can spend time together in a worthwhil e pursuit (事业)—learning how to write. Forget the theme parks, the computer g ames, the expensive movies and interesting sports. If you wa nt your children to have treasured memories of time spent wit h you, learn together.For less than you would pay for tickets to a theme park, you c an invest in your children’s future—help them learn to write well with my six-part writing course.Don’t stand by while your child is left further and further behind.5. From the last two paragraphs, we can know the main purpo se of the passage is_______A. To encourage students to be better prepared for the future.B.

They will learn more quickly and accurately.B. They will not be affected by games and sports.C. It will encourage them to work for a higher pursuit.D. They will have good memories of time spent with parents. CTess was eight years old. Her little brother Andrew was ve ry sick and their parents were completely out of money. She h eard Daddy say to her tearful Mother, "Only a miracle can sav e him now."Tess took her money and made her way six blocks to Rex all's Drug Store."And what do you want?" the chemist asked in an annoye d tone of voice.

2018-2019学年高二英语上学期第二次月考试题阅读理解ALove, success, happiness, family and freedom----how important are these values to you?Here is one interview which explores the fundamental questio ns in life.Question: Could you introduce yourself first? Answer: My nam e is Misbah, 27 years old. I was born in a war-torn area. Right now I'm a web designer. Q: What are your gr eat memories? A: My parents used to take us to hunt birds, cli mb trees, and play in the fields. For me it was like a holiday b ecause we were going to have fun all day long. Those are my great memories. Q: Does your childhood mean a lot to you? A : Yes. As life was very hard, I used to work to help bring mone y in for the family. I spent my childhood working, with responsi bilities beyond my age. However, it taught me to deal with pro blems all alone. I learnt to be independent. Q: What changes would you like to make in your life? A: If I could change something in my life, I'd change it so that my childhood could have t aken place in another area. I would have loved to live with my family in freedom. Who cares whether we have much money, or whether we have a beautiful house? It doesn't matter as lo ng as I can live with my family and we are safe. Q: How do yo u get along with your parents? A: My parents supported me u ntil I came of age. I want to give back what I've got. That's our way. But I am working in another city. My only contact with m y parents now is through the phone, but I hate using it. It filter s(过滤) out your emotion and leaves your voice only. My deepest f eelings should be passed through sight, hearing and touch. 1．In Misbah's childhood, _______________.A． he was free from worryB． he liked living in the countrysideC． he was fond of getting close to natureD． he often spent holidays with his family2．What did Misbah desire most in his childhood?A． A colorful life.

Nowadays, we see parents deciding th e schools for their little ones before the baby is even born.

They want to come to the c lassroom every day, keep an eye on whom they talk to, know the friends they keep, start telling them how to do their job, an d keep talking or giving a feedback(反馈) to them about everything under the sun. Besides, they sen d their kids for extra hobby classes, as they want their childre n to do best in every field.When it comes to the education, super mom and dad have all the plans made for their children, and I am sure that they hav e come up with the best. So, try to fight for the dreams that yo ur parents have set for you. However, in some cases, it may h appen that the kids have some different dreams. Parents som etimes don't even consider the choice of their kids and may fo rce them to do what they wanted to do in life. It's good to plan the future for the children, but leave at least some decisions t o them.So what should the children do? First, hear out all the plans th at your parents have made for you. If you have some different ideas, then sit down and talk to your family about it. Be patien t and respect their decisions, but put your plan forth, and mak e them understand what you want to do and why. Many times, you are not aware of the difficulties that you may have to face while pursuing your dreams. Ask your parents for suggestion s, which will make them feel good and involved. That way, the y may support you if you are going on the right path.5．The parents described in Paragraph 1 tend to .A． have a good understanding of their childrenB． worry a lot about their childrenC． take good care of their childrenD． expect too much from their children6．With respect to educational plans, the author advises .

The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasona ble (合理的) price. In the past, Bangkok could be a difficult place to driv e in—signs were generally in Thai only, making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around.

A(2016-2017年哈尔滨六中高二月考)Recently my husband had his Achilles tendon （跟腱） cut when feeding a chicken. When sitting in the doctor’s office waiting for surgery stressfully, I decided to treat myself for a minute and start to read about “The Little House on the Prairie”. Suddenly I felt my lifeseemed like a slack （懈怠） compared to the Ingalls who do all their washing and cooking but they feel so happy. Their every happiness is created from the work with their own hands. Yet I’m walking around feeling sorry for myself because I’m picking up the slack! So I’m thinking “Work it out! Ge t up and getbusy.”It really is true. I realize that I’m happiest when accomplishing tangible(有形的) productivework —working in the yard and washing my dishes —brings me happiness. This does not surprise Kelly Lambert Ph.D. She has been researching the pheno menon she calls “effort -rewards”. When you do meaningful work with your hands, a kind of neurochemical feedback floods your brain with dopamine andserotonin. These happy brain chemicals are natural antidepressants, and we’ve evolved to release them both to reward ourselves for working with our hands and to motivate ourselves to do it some more. Dr. Lambert says Americans have become more depressed in recent years and at the same time we’ve experienced a decrease in purposeful physical activity. Did we lose something vital to our mental health when we started pushing buttons instead of ploughing the fields?Dr. Pansinski says she gets that happy look when she prepares a meal at the end of a day. “We are programmed to reward ourselves when we accomplish things with our hands. For so many people, it just feels as though everything’s going so fast—life, kids, hundreds of e-mails a day. There is so little you can really see and hold on to. Working with one’s hands is a way to slow down, to take pleasure in life again.” 21. Before reading “The Little House On the Prairie”, the writer might think the Ingalls were ________. A. unknown B. hardworking C. foolishD. unhappy【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。

Experts say that by 2012, 500,000,000 people per year will visit the parks. As a result, people are trying to think of ways to protect the parks from the crowds.The crowding of the parks has caused several problems. One is that there is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks. To deal with this problem, you may have to book your tickets a few months ahead of time. The Park Service may also raise entrance fees(费) .Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution. Some garbage and waste can be cleaned up, and the cleanup can be paid for by increased entrance fees. To cut down on noisepollution and air pollution, the number of cars allowed in parks may be limited. If this happens, people may use buses to travel around the parks. Officials may also limit the use of jet-skis, snow-mobiles, motor-boats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes.The parks may also be in danger because of development that is going on around them. For example, around Yellow Stone Park, many hotels, golf courses, resorts, and other tourist attractions have been built. Some of these developments have effect on areas that are used by animals. People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks. If they do not, there will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures.29.

Each of her objects had its place, but mine alway s hid somewhere. She even labeled(贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothin g over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both g ot tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my f eet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed tog ether for a single minute without a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly cr awled(爬) under her covers, weeping. Obviously, that was so mething she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a w arm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart, Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t noticed Kate had sat up. She was watc hing, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. The n, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me. “Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year.

Your friends’ lives may loo k more exciting than yours on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagra m, but new research shows it is because they are faking (伪造) it.A recent survey has found around two-thirds of people on social media post images to their personal information to make their lives seem more adventurous. And more than three quarters of those asked said they judged thei r peers based on what they saw on their Instagram, Snapehat or Facebook pages.The British survey, by smart phone maker HTC, found that, inorder to make our own pages and lives appear more exciting, six percent also said they had borrowed items to include in the images in order to pass them off as their own. More than half of those surveyed said they posted images of items and plac es purely to show off, causing jealousy among friends and fa mily.Behavioral psychologist Hemmings said the trend was unsurp rising due to the rise of social media. “We’re living in a world o f instant communication.” she said. “Fashion and style used to live and die in magazines; now people are in search of authe ntic, peer-to-peer recommendations as well, making social media an equal power house to magazines and newspapers.”“With images being shared in an instant, we desire to know w hat our friends are wearing, or what super stars are buying, a s soon as they have got them.” Such is the influence of social media sites like Instagram, 76 percent of those asked also sai d seeing items on social media influences them to buy them, with men more likely to take style advice and buy what they s ee.12.

When we were kidst he always created something surprising for us. Today, however, Dad would say no more,and caught up in the business of our new life, I eventually forgo I about his surprise.Until one gloomy day the next March when I glanced out of the window, I saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (番红花）throughout thefront lawn —blue, yellow and my favorite pink, with little faces moving up and down in the cold wind. I remembered the things Dad secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs?My fathers crocuses bloomed (开花）cach spring for the next five seasons, always bringing the same assurance: Hard times are almost over. Hold on, keep goings and light is coming soon.Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms and the next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses, so I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did.He diedsuddenlyone October day. My family were in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith.On a spring afternoon four years later, I was driving back when I felt depressed. It was Dad's birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual-my family often talked about him，remembering how he lived up to his faith. Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the the lawn. There on the muddy grass with small piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than years ago, one that hadn't bloomed in over a decade? But theic was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day, but it built my faith for a lifetime.24.According to the first three paragraphs, we learn that.A. it kept bothering the author not knowing what the surprise wasB. the author was unpacking when her father was making the surpriseC. it was not the first time that the author's father had made a surpriseD. the author knew what the surprise was because she knew her father25.

They asked US participants in two related studies about parents lying to theirchildren-either for the purpose of promoting appropriate behavior or to make them happy.In one of the studies, many parents reported they told their young children that bad things would happen if they didn't go to bed or eat what they were supposed to. Other parents repotted inventing magical creatures. One explained, “We told our daughter that if she wrapped up all her pacifiers (橡皮奶嘴）like gifts, the fairwould come and give them to the children who needed them.”In the other study, the researchers surveyed college students' recollections about their parents’ lying and obtained similar results: parents often lie to their children even as they tell them that lying is unacceptable.The researchers refer to this practice as “parenting by lying”. “We are surprised by how oftenparenting by lying lakes place.” said LEE. Though Heyman thinks that there are occasions where it is appropriate to be less than truthful with a child, she urges parents to think through the issues and consider alternatives before using lies.“Children sometimes behave in ways that are disruptive or are likely to harm their long-term interests» said Heyman.4tIt is common for them to try out a range of strategies, including lying, to stop them. However, parents should be concerned about the possible long-term negative consequences to children's beliefs about honesty.”28.The subject of parental lying.A.was not allowed to be researched in the pastB.attracts little attention because it is commonC.hasn't got many published results about itD.is becoming more and more popular29.What does Heyman think of parental lying?A.It is a great parenting strategy.B.Parents should think twice before using it.C.It usually does more good than harm.D.Parents should do something to make up for it after using it.30.Parents usuallywhen their young children don't go to bed properly.A.turn off the bedroom lights and play some musicB.shout at them loudlyC.shut the door and let them aloneD.make up some magical creatures to let them believe31.In which part of a newspaper would you most probably find the passage?A.Business.B.

AMy dearest son and daughter，The story of New Jersey high school student Rachel Canning suing(起诉) her parents for child support and high school education in spired me to write you a little letter.Let me just put this out the re：the only way I expect to see you in a court is as a lawyer or a j udge.There are two things about this case that seem to be disaster.First，it's natural for parents and children to argue.I can guarantee t hat we will disagree.One or both of you will，at some point，scream at the top of your voice the various ways you hate me. And I won't always like you，either. But I will always love you and do everything I can to ke ep your best interests as my focus，even when I'm so angry.We are family.That means we are as much a part of one another as the flesh，blood and bones in our body.And we all should think about it v ery deeply instead of breaking that bond.Second，to be honest，no matter how far apart we are on your life choices，your father and I will most certainly pay everything we can for your higher education.But that doesn't mean you deserve it. T o be clear，that is a privilege (优待) we happily extend(给予) to you—not a right you are born with.And you will have to work hard to earn that privilege.Growing up is hard work.If I do my job properly as your mother—and you do yours as my children—you would sooner get a job or two，and find a way to make your dreams come true rather than goto trial（接受审判） over what you think you are entitled to. Love always，Mom1．The mother writes this letter because she wants her childr en to .A．be prepared for education B．learn a lesson from the ca seC．take up the legal profession D．remember Rachel Can ning2．When in disagreement，the mother expects her children not to .A．guarantee anythingB．break the family bondC．scream out their angerD．forget their best interests 3．The mother thinks of parents' paying for their children's hig her education as .A．a way in which children realize their dreamsB．a test of whether parents love their childrenC．a right that parents are born withD．a privilege that children should earnBBees play a vital role in the world. Unfortunately, bees are dyi ng by the second.The main purpose of bees is to make honey. Honey，shockingly, does not exist for human consumption; it is essent ial to the insects. Honeybees store honey in their hives (蜂箱) in order for the bees to have energy for their flight muscles and for heating the hives during the winter period. They colle ct pollen (花粉) which supplies protein for young bees to grow. According to National Honey Board, the increased product ion and quality of agricultural crops as a result of honeybee p ollination are valued at more than $14.6 billion per year. Thes e insects are responsible for over 70 of the fruits and vegetabl es we eat today, including apples, grapes, coffee, beans，and broccoli.So if they are so valuable to agriculture, why do they keep dyi ng off? A key suspect seems to be pesticides (农药)．Honeybees who are exposed to pesticides result in the d amage to their neurological (神经系统的) functions, specifically memory or behavior. And that's why the majority of worker bees disappear and leave behind a qu een, plenty of food and a few nurse bees to care for the remai ning immature bees and the queen. There are several other causes of the decline of bees，including the destruction of natural habitats, like woodlands，forests, and other habitats for bees. Climate change is also a f actor in the decline of the wild bee population.Actually, there are a variety of methods to help the bee popul ation grow. One way is to start your own organic garden by pl anting beefriendly plants. Pesticides are used in both ind ustrial practices and even in your home, so it is best to find or ganic seeds and weed killers.4．Why do honeybees store honey in their hives?A．To provide enough honey for humans to consume.B．To draw protein out of honey for young bees.C．To strengthen bee muscles and heat hives in winter.To help attract other insects and make hives stronger. 5．Apples and beans are mentioned in the third paragraph to show that .A．bees are of great importance to fruits and vegetables B．bees mainly live on these agricultural cropsC．bees supply human beings with basic foodD．bees can bring in more money for farmers every year 6．What is most likely to cause the worker bees to leave their hives behind?A．The abuse of pesticides.B．The lack of food.C．The fighting among bees.D．The destruction of the habita ts.7．What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph t hat follows?A．Other tips for choosing seeds. B．Another way to save bees.C．More methods to plant green organic fruits.D．Causes of the decline in the wild bee population.C“Can I hug you？”community nurse Joyce Jebambula asks wit h a smile as she welcomes me back to her village.“Of course ，” I say as I put my arms around her.It's an unbelievable mo ment.Just at the height of the outbreak more than a year ago ，there was an “avoid body contact” rule here.It's now been rem oved.One of the most challenging parts of reporting this outbreak o ver the past 18 months is that I haven't been able to touch an yone in the worstaffected countries.When Ebola (埃博拉病毒) survivors described in tears losing their families，I had to almost sit on my hands to avoid reaching out to comfort them.The outbreak was declared over in Sierra Leone on Novembe r 7.I returned for the celebrations.But despite reaching this lon gawaited milestone，all is not well.Ibrahim Koroma, 21，clings to his survivor's certificate（证书） outside the home.All 17 of his family are now dead.The c ertificate is one of his most prized possessions. “He does not pose any risk to the community.” it reads.Ibrahim tells me how his landlord has allowed him to stay in o ne of the rooms of his former family home until the end of the year.He says he doesn't know what he'll do after that.He does some parttime work，relying heavily on help from neighbours.His two little sisters a nd little brother died in the very room where he now sleeps.He says he often lies awake thinking of them，feeling very bad. The Ebola outbreak in West Africa was the worst on record.In past outbreaks there had only been a few hundred deaths an d a few hundred survivors.It was thought that Ebola could live for only three months.But research has now shown it can ling er for at least nine months.Scientists are still trying to find how long it could be infectious.8．What does the author think of hugging Joyce? A．Unbelievable. B．Negative.C．Illegal. D．Ordinary.9．When interviewing Ebola survivors，the author . A．kept comforting them with handsB．couldn't touch them w ith handsC．held their hands to show sympathy D．couldn't help co mforting them with hands10．Ibrahim Koroma values his certificate because it . A．is a sign of his contributionsB．has been the only one for him so farC． shows he is a healthy personD．is a great honor to have it in his village11．We can learn from the passage that .A．Ebola can only survive a few daysB．Ibrahim's neighbour s treat him badlyC．there were once 17 people in Ibrahim's familyD．Ebola sti ll influences Ibrahim's lifeDI sat in my seat as my new grade six classmates found theirs . In the front of the class stood our new math teacher, watchin g us. “Come on .We don’t have all day. Get settled please.”The bell rang.“OK. Welcome to a new school year. I’m Mr. Stevens and I’m sure I’ll learn all your names in no time.” He walked aroundthe class handing out math books. When it was done, he retur ned to the front of the class and looked at us. We stared back.“What are you waiting for? Get started?” he said.We looked at him----confused. Wasn’t he going to teach us?“Is there something wrong with your ears? You’re not all de af, are you?”One brave boy at the back of the class asked what we all w anted to know. “Mr. Stevens, aren’t you going to teach us?”“Rubbish!” Mr. Stevens replied, “You’re smart kids. Open y our books and get down to it. If you have any trouble or any q uestions, raise your hand, and I’ll come to help you.”My friend Paul and I exchanged glances and opened our b ooks to the first chapter. A competition began. Paul and I spe nt all our free time at home working through the lessons. Mr. Stevens, keeping his words, helped anyone who was stuck in a problem. We worked like dogs and finished two and one hal f math books that first year . It was a turning point in my life. M r. Stevens made me realize I was good at math and also able to reach the top of any class I attended.Monty Python’s Flying Circus was a popular television sho w back then. The actors brought the best British humour(幽默)into our Canadian lives. Mr. Stevens would often act out one of their skits in front of the class. Some thought he was stra nge, and I guess he was, but he knew how to make a math le sson interesting.12.What was the unique style of Mr. Stevens teaching, accord ing to the author?A. He was strict with the students.B .He taught the students to learn on their own.C. He treated each student equally.D.

It might understa nd more than you think.A border collie(牧羊犬) named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee (黑猩猩).In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that R ico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 1 0 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 co mmands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, th e scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of cer tain words.In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys w hose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a wor d the dog had never heard before.The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, sugg esting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For onething, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since th e age of nine months.It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wo uldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, w et kiss in return!24. From paragraph 2 we know that .A. animals are as clever as human beingsB. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzeesC. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skillsD. dogs have similar 'learning abilities as 3-year-old children25. Both experiments show that .A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands rightB. Rico can recognize different things including toysC. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematicsD. Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing th em26. Which of the following statements is true?A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie 's mental abilities.B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.C. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.D. Rico is born to understand its owner's commands.27. What does the writer want to tell us?A. To train your dog.B. To talk to your dog.C. To be friendly to your dog.D. To be careful with your dog.COne advantage of the Internet is shopping conveniently online for clothes; one disadvantage of the Internet is also shopping conveniently online for clothes.“Nothing fits,” said Lam Yuk Wong, a senior in electrical and c omputer engineering at . “Everyone says this. They order clot hes and they don’t fit. People get very unhappy.”Wong and her design partner, Xuaner “Cecilia” Zhang, are Te am White Mirror, creators of what they call a “virtual (虚拟)fitting room”. Their goal is simple and consumer-friendly: to let online clothing shoppers have a perfect fit and a perfect look when shopping every time. Both women are from China, Wong from Hong Kong and Zhang from . They both order most of their clothing onl ine. They got the idea from their own experience as consumer s and from listening to the complaints of friends and relatives. “They say, ‘The color is wrong’ or ‘I got the right size but it still does not fit.’ We want to make it like you’re in the store trying on the clothes,” Zhang said.Using a Kinect developed by Microsoft for use with its Xbox 360 video game player, Zhang scans Wong and turns her image into, in effect, a virtual model, keeping Wong’s dimensions (尺寸), and even her skin and hair color. “We put the clothes on t he shopper’s 3-D body models and show how they look when they are dresse d,” Wong said. So far, Wong and Zhang have adapted the sof tware to show dresses and shirts, and they are now working o n shorts.Asked if she thought men as well as women might be interest ed in using their virtual fitting room, Wong said, “I think their w ives will care about this, so it will also be important to men.”28. Why is shopping conveniently online for clothes a disadva ntage?A. Students may easily get addicted to it.B. Clothes bought online may not fit.C. It attracts more online clothing shoppers.D. It causes shoppers to waste too much money.29. Wong and Zhang got the idea to design a virtual fitting roo m from ____.A. their shopping experiencesB. a program at their universityC. some shop-owners’ complaintsD. the Xbox 360 video game player30. Which of the following shows the process of using the virt ual fitting room?A. scanning -- trying on clothes -- getting imagesB. trying on clothes -- getting models -- scanningC. scanning -- getting models --trying on clothes D. trying on clothes -- getting images -- scanning31. What did Wong think of her virtual fitting room?A. It is perfectly developed.B. It will have its market share.C. It is limited to women shoppers.D. It is like a kind of video game player.DNOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their live s trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accide nts can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scar s. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is d esigned to be taken immediately after a frightening experienc e. They hope it might reduce ,or possibly erase(抹去),the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and . The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memori es in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only th e emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some thi nk it is a bad idea, While others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldie rs' troubling memories after war. They say that there are man y people who suffer from terrible memories."Some memories can ruin people's lives . They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or night mare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Ro ger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at . "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."But those who are against the research say that changing me mories is very dangerous because memories give us our iden tity (特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past."All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horri ble at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medic al ethicist.32. The passage is mainly about .A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pillC. a way of erasing painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill33. The drug tested on people can .A. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. Wipe out the emotional effects of memories34. We can infer from the passage that .A. people doubt the effects of the pillsB. the pill will stop people's bad experiencesC. taking the pill will do harm to people's healthD. the pill has probably been produced in35. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
