How can you tell if someone's lying? The answer is, they're probably not.Traditional economics says that people are _1 human beings who will lie if it's to their advantage. A recent university study has shown that, actually, we're pretty _ 2 --especially when we're at home.Researchers in Germany 3 people at home and asked them to toss(投掷)a coin. There was a strong 4 incentive(刺激) to lie about the result: if the coin landed tails-up, the participants would receive money, while if the coin landed heads-up, they would get nothing. Because they were on the phone, they knew there was no 5 _ of getting caught if they lied.And yet people told the 6 . Over hundreds of tosses, a coin will land tails-up about 50% of the time.

Ernest Hemingway probably made the best conclusion when he said , “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.” First published in 1885, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is now 1 to be one of the Great American Novels.However, the book was once labeled offensive by some readers.It was even banned in schools for its 2 of the word “nigger”, which was regarded as a sign of racism .But on the contrary, the novel is in fact against 3 .In the book, Twain 4 the character of Jim, a runaway slave who convinces Huck that African-Americans are 5 the freedom, and that equality is a goal for which we all should be fighting.Mark Twain wrote Adventures of Huckleberry Finn twenty years after the American Civil War.Slavery had been abolished, the North and South were 6 , and America regained peace.So why publish a tale about a system that was no longer in 7 ? Weren’t race issues a meaningless point once slavery was out of the picture?Although the Emancipation Proclamation (《解放宣言》)had been signed over two decades before Huckleberry Finn’s original publication date, African-Americans everywhere were still 8 of oppression and racism.Freedom didn’t mean equality by any means-not legally, socially, or practically.Actually, this isn’t an outdated idea at all.Rules and laws often don’t 9 reflect what’s really going on.From a legal standpoint today, we have equality of race, yet racism is still a problem.Men and women are 10 , yet many still see a “glass ceiling” for women in the workplace, meaning they often have unseen 11 to advancement.That doesn’t mean laws are 12 .Laws may not immediately lead to change, but we’ve seen that they do 13 how people act and change the way we think.We can’t rely on laws alone.We need people like Mark Twain to 14 us not to be self-congratulatory (自鸣得意) for starting a process, but instead to realize that greater change is always 15 .1.

We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must __1 test its pupils. The standards may be changed — no examination is 2 — but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not 3 either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean everything would depend on 4 since every pupil would depend on efficiency, the values and the purpose of each 5 .Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the 6 respected schools and from families known to them – a form of favoritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he is _7 for a job, while the lack of a certificate indicates the unsuitability of a 8 child attending a well-respected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were 9 , and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation, unable to10 for employment with the child from the 11__ school.The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an 12 force because they show differences between pupils.

Better known as "Ms. Stephanie" online, Walsh has been featured on social media accounts with some videos drawing more than II million people to watch.Walsh believes the videos gained popularity because she is 75. "It's because I'm a senior, "said Walsh. "You don't usually see someone my age doing hip-hop and moving like that. "But actually, it's more than that. Just as her profile claims, Walsh's videos are "inspiring the world to dance like no one is watching. ""Dance isn't just your body, it's what you're feeling inside about the dance and it's what comes out here in your face, " Walsh said. "What I want to put through my movement is how much fun it is and how much joy it gives you. "From a young age, Walsh loved to dance but her family didn't have the money for classes. When she was nearly 30, she got her daughter ballet lessons, which her daughter hated. So, she took her daughter out and started classes herself right away.Walsh believes her lifelong passion for dance is what motivates her today. "Everybody has to have a passion in their life, " she said. "It's like that saying, 'A life without passion is a life half lived. 'I believe that. "Walsh dances for fun and fitness, but also for therapy(心理治疗). She struggled through countless hardships, and she has more than enough reasons to keep her down. But they don't. She turns to her faith, her friends and of course, dance, to shine as an inspiration to those around her.Gilbert, one of Walsh's followers, says she inspires him every day. "She's a beautiful soul who teaches me that it doesn't matter about your age or your size. As long as you feel good, that's all that matters, "says Gilbert.

Forever Young in Dance: An Inspiring FigureC. Embracing Social Media: The Key to SuccessD. Dancing with the Young: An Amazing JourneyCA China plane struck a bird after taking off in Chengdu, Sichuan, and had to immediately return to the airport last October, and it wasn't the first accident between an aircraft and a bird last year.In fact, more than 20, 000 wildlife strikes with aircraft were reported worldwide in 2023-the vast majority of those animals being birds. The strikes can also include run-ins with bats or creatures on the ground, such as deer or turtles. Expanding wildlife populations, increases in number of aircraft movements, and a trend toward faster and quieter aireraft all have contributed to the increase in wildlife strikes.Bird strikes are a hazard not just to commercial airplanes, but to all sorts of aircraft. However, historical data shows that damage is reported in a small percentage of incidents. Last year, 95% of the global strikes involved some kind of damage- and only 5% of those caused "substantial" damage.Some of the most disturbing types of strikes can happen when one or more birds go into a plane's engine, which might cause a lot of damage to the aircraft. The pilot would need to return to the airport or find a safe place to land.In last October's China plane incident, the Beijing-bound flight was able to land normally in Chengdu after taking into account what the airline described as security concerns. Senior captain Chen Jianguo said pilots are trained on how to respond if they have a bird strike in flight. The pilot in this case did exactly what he was trained to do."There are lots of things that are being used by airports to try to manage the habitat and birds around the airport, "said Chen Jianguo. Airports need to manage bird habitats to reduce or get rid of trees and plants that shelter birds, or address wetlands that can attract birds. Collecting data on what kinds of birds are involved in strikes is equally important so the risks can better be managed. Many airports also use audible signals to scare birds away, such as the sounds of fireworks.28. What is a cause of the increase in wildlife strikes?A. The poorly designed aircraft.B. The growing number of birds.C. The destruction of wildlife habitats.D. The absence of environmental awareness.29. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Danger.B. Delay.C. Accident.D. Reminder.30. What does the historical data tell us about bird strikes?A. They are a rare occurrence.B. They usually damage engines.C. Most of them cause slight damage.D. Most of them involve one single bird.31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. Ways to study bird behavior.B. Measures to drive birds away.C. Efforts to restore bird habitat.D. Attempts to take care of birds.DSuppose you come across two doctors. One is handsome while the other looks plain. Who would you trust with your surgery? Most people would probably want to get treated by the handsome one. And most people are likely to be wrong about that.When you look at the sun, you sometimes see it clearly. But sometimes you'll see it shining way bigger than its actual shape. That circle of light called a halo makes it look bigger. This effect, known as the halo effect, also happens when a person, product, or company shines like the sun. Then we don't see them clearly and associate all sorts of unrelated qualities to them.The halo effect was once studied by the psychologist Edward Thorndike, who asked flight commanders to evaluate their pilots in various distinct aspects such as physical appearance, intelligence, and leadership. He found that the pilots who got high scores for their physical appearance, also got rated high on intelligence and leadership skills-a link that seemed wrong. It appears that the commanders were unable to evaluate specific qualities independently of others. They thought of their pilots in broad terms, either "good" or "bad", and allowed this general feeling to influence the specific qualities they credited to their pilots. Some pilots profited from their halo.The halo effect also explains why some teachers give better-looking students higher grades. One study looked at the grades of 4, 500 pupils, who were sorted by volunteers into three groups: below- average, average, and above-average looking. The researchers then compared students' grades between classes taken in conventional classrooms with those taken online where there was no face-to-face interaction. The researchers found that students who were rated as good-looking earned significantly lower grades in online courses compared to conventional classrooms.Since the physical appearance of good-looking people seems to naturally make them also appear intelligent, strong, and trustworthy, here is one good rule. If you meet with an accident and have to choose between two equally qualified doctors, ignore their halo and choose the less handsome one. He might have worked twice as hard to gain the same reputation and is likely better at his job.32. What is the purpose of the second paragraph?A. To explore a natural wonder.B. To spread scientific knowledge.C. To explain a psychological tendency.D. To interpret social rules at the workplace.33. How did the commanders tend to evaluate their pilots in Thorndike's study?A. In a general way.B. With common sense.C. From a specific aspect.D. By an objective criterion.34. What does the 4500-pupil study find about better-looking students?A. They were fairly treated by their teachers.B. They were less attentive in online courses.C. They probably had natural learning abilities.D. They were overvalued in conventional classes.35. What can be learned about the halo effect?A. It relieves appearance anxiety.B. It leads to inaccurate judgments.C. It causes trust crisis among people.D. It intensifies workplace competition.第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

.Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear. Children know this very well. F Epstein, in his book I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination. Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilli

to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operatiThe power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to atte things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed

There is nothing new about reality TV(真人秀). Confessional(忏悔的) shows, where ordinary people make their private life 1 , have been around for a long time. However, over the last five years, TV reality shows such as Big Brother and Survivor have become more and more popular. 2 some of these programmes have been the most successful shows in television history. It seems 3 to say they are third-rate(三流的) entertainment. But is it true?In order to 4 reality TV, we need to define exactly what a TV reality show is. Reality shows have several things in 5 with soap operas. Generally speaking, they both 6 a group of people who have to live together and get on with each other while solving various problems. The 7 is that the dialogues in reality shows are often more boring than those in soap operas. In addition, the problems participants deal with are 8 and don’t arise naturally.9 , in this sense, they could be seen as third-rate entertainment.Why then do people watch them? Probably, what hold s the audience’s 10 is the reality of the shows. You never know what is going to happen next, and we are 11 by people who will stop at nothing in their pursuit of fame. W e’re also attracted by how the participants do in different situations, and to some extent compare their 12 with our own.Therefore, it’s probably true to 13 that reality shows are third-rate entertainmentwhen compared with classic films.

佛山一中2013届高三第一次段考英语试题 2012.10 I 语言知识及应用 (共两节Ernest Hemingway probably made the best conclusion when he said , “ All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.” First published in 1885, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is now 1 to be one of the Great American Novels. However, the book was once labeled offensive by some readers. It was even banned in schools for its 2 of the word “nigger”, which was regarded as a sign of racism . But on the contrary, the novel is in fact against3 . In the book, Twain4 the character of Jim, a runaway slave who convinces Huck that African-Americans are5 the freedom, and that equality is a goal for which we all should be fighting. Mark Twain wrote Adventures of Huckleberry Finn twenty years after the American Civil War. Slavery had been abolished, the North and South were 6 , and America regained peace. So why publish a tale about a system that was no longer in 7 ? Weren’t race issues a meaningless point once slavery was out of the picture? Although the Emancipation Proclamation (《解放宣言》) had been signed over two decades before Huckleberry Finn’s original publication date, African-Americans everywhere were still 8 of oppression and racism. Freedom didn’t mean equality by any means-not legally, socially, or practically. Actually, this isn’t an outdated idea at all. Rules and laws often don’t 9 reflect what’s really going on. From a legal standpoint today, we have equality of race, yet racism is still a problem. Men and women are 10 , yet many still see a “glass ceiling” for women in the workplace, meaning they often have unseen 11 to advancement. That doesn’t mean laws are 12 . Laws may not immediately lead to change, but we’ve seen that they do 13 how people act and change the way we think. We can’t rely on laws alone. We need people like Mark Twain to 14 us not to be self-congratulatory (自鸣得意) for starting a process, but instead to realize that greater change is always 15 . 1.

2013广东高考英语试题(精校+完美排版)

2013广东高考英语试题(精校+完美排版)

2013年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(广东卷)第一节完型填空Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a 1 in number. Human beings are born with this ability. 2 , Experiments show that many animas are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not 3 . However, if you remove two, the bird 4 leaves. This means that the bird knows the 5 between two and three.Another interesting experiment showed a bird’s 6 number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not 7 until the man left the tower. The man had an 8 . He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they did not 9 the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was 10 with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were 11 . It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 12 able to fool the crow.How good is a human’s number sense? It’s not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a 13 group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are 14 fooled.It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human15 is not much better than a crow’s.1. A. rise B. pattern C. change D. trend2. A. Importantly B. Surprisingly C. Disappointedly D. Fortunately3. A. survive B. care C. hatch D. notice4. A. generally B. sincerely C. casually D. deliberately5. A. distance B. range C. difference D. interval6. A. amazing B. annoying C. satisfying D. disturbing7. A. relax B. recover C. react D. return8. A. appointment B. excuse C. idea D. explanation9. A. fool B. hurt C. catch D. kill10. A. reported B. repeated C. designed D. approved11. A. confused B. gone C. tired D. drunk12. A. gradually B. luckily C. strangely D. finally13. A. single B. small C. local D. new14. A. seldom B. temporarily C. merely D. often15. A. sight B. nature C. ability D. belief第二节语法填空One day, Nick invited his friends to supper. He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he 16 (find) that he had run out of salt. So Nick called to his son, “Go to the village and buy some salt, but pay a fair price for it: neither too much 17 too little.”His son looked surprised. “I can understand why I shouldn’t pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less, 18 not save a bit of money?”“That would be a very 19 (reason) thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small village like ours,”Nick said.Nick’s guest, 20 had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could. Nick replied, “The only reason a man would sell salt 21 a lower price would be because he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect 22 the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.”“But such a small thing couldn’t 23 (possible) destroy a village.”“In the beginning, there was only 24 very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little, always 25 (think) that it was only small and not very important, and look where we have ended up today.”第三节阅读理解A.Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear. Children know this very well. Fred Epstein, in his book I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid. “ Maybe I could go as Superman,” he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for while. She has avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装), but finally she agreed.The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation.The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr. Epstein puts it, “If you can dream it, you can do it.”It doesn’t mean tha t you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview. But, next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it. Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.26. What do we know about Tom?A. He was seriously ill.B. He was a dishonest boy.C. He was crazy about magic.D. He was Dr. Epstein’s patient.27. What can be inferred about Tom’s mother?A. She was a rich lady.B. She refused Tom’s request.C. She wanted Tom to be a superhero.D. She wanted to get Tom through the pain.28. When Tom went for the third operation, he_________.A. pretended to be painfulB. acted like a superheroC. appeared in poor spiritsD. argued with his mother29. In the last paragraph, you are advised________.A. to go through some difficult testsB. to wake up from your wild dreamsC. to become a powerful person in your mindD. to wear expensive clothes for job interviews30. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell us an interesting story.B. To help us make right decisions.C. To advise us to care about children.D. To encourage us to use our imagination.B.Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born withsome rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become rally good at whatever it is you put all that work into.31. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about__________.A. the reasons for successB. the meaning of successC. the standards of successD. the importance of success32. Paragraph 2, the underlined word that refers to__________.A. being good at somethingB. setting a practical goalC. putting in more timeD. succeeding in life33. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because_____________.A. work makes one feel painB. one tends to enjoy his workC. one gives up his work easilyD. it takes a lot of time to succeed34. What can be infer from Paragraph 4?A. Successful people like to show their great skills.B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.35. What is the main theme of the passage?A. Having a goal is vital to success.B. Being good is different from being great.C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.C.One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept waling up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can I help?”I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no wards can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon---in complete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,”I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.“It’s your turn,” he said.After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one---without any words---can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.36. When he first met the author, David_________.A. felt a little excitedB. walked energeticallyC. looked a little nervousD. showed up with his teacher37. As a psychologist, the author __________.A. was ready to listen to DavidB. was skeptical about psychologyC. was able to describe David’s problemD. was sure of handling David’s problem38. David enjoyed being with the author because he____________.A. wanted to ask the author for adviceB. needed to share sorrow with the authorC. liked the children’s drawing in the officeD. beat the author many times in the chess game39. What can be inferred about David?A. He recovered after months of treatment.B. He liked biking before he lost his family.C. He went into university soon after starting to talk.D. He got friends in school before he met the author.40. What made David change?A. His teacher’s help.B. The author’s friendship.C. His exchange of letters with the author.D. The author’s silent communication with him.D.While Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor(监控器) a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer’s Los Angeles apartment, the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. Her Internet access was locked---remotely---to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was; Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past? Or was she slowing down?In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid---that students haven’t searched the Internet to get the right answers.Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating become sharper in the last year with the growth of “open online courses.” Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check student’s identities using personal information, such as the telephone numbers they once used.Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.41. Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?A. To correct her typing mistakes.B. To find her secrets in the roomC. To prevent her from slowing down.D. To keep her from dishonest behaviors42. The underlined expression cutting edge in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.A. advanced techniqueB. sharpening toolC. effective ruleD. dividing line43. For Internet universities, exams and diplomas will be valid if__________.A. they can attract potential studentsB. they can defeat academic cheatingC. they offer students online helpD. they offer many online courses44. Some programs can find out possible cheaters by_________.A. checking the question answering speedB. producing a large number of questionsC. scanning the Internet test questionsD. giving difficult test questions45. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A. The Advantages of Online ExamsB. The High-tech Methods in Online CoursesC. The Fight against Cheating in Online EducationD.

Could you kindly send your information booklet to my email address: peterw@? Your timely reply will be highly appreciated.第五节基础写作第六节读写任务To many people even the word “work” sounds unpleasant, not necessarily because they are lazy. The same man, who dislikes his job in the factory or even in the office, may work hard at the weekend, painting the house or digging the garden.What is the reason, then? In most cases, it is because these people simply do not enjoy the job they are doing. It does not give them any real satisfaction. It may be quite easy, like making up wooden boxes, but it is very boring. Very often they are doing a job which is just a small part of a much larger one, such as attaching a door handle to a car. But the part they play in actually making the car is so small that they can never say: I have made something!Yet in modern society somebody has to do ordinary jobs such as cleaning streets because this is the way society is organized. No matter how ordinary a job is, it plays a part in society and therefore deserves our due respect. Society cannot function a single day without the “dull and boring” jobs.[写作内容]1. 以约30词概括上文的主要内容。

ASummer Camps for TeenagersThere are many types of summer camps for teenagers to attend. They’re a great way for teens to make friends and leam valuable lessons about life. If you’re seeking a good summer camp to attend, the first thing you should do is decide what type of camp would be most suitable to your interests and goals.Traditional CampsWhen you just want the sort of camp in classic films, a traditional overnight camp might be just what you need to grow, learn, and relax this coming summer. These sorts of camps offer more vigorous outdoors activities, yet often allow campers to customize their camping experiences.Chewonki CampAs one of the best summer camps in the country by Boston Magazine, this camp aims to help teens learn about natural history and ecology, and the campers get treats like sailing trips and hiking excursions, besides formal instruction in such things as kayaking, swimming, field sports, and photography.Camp WicosutaAs a top-rated, traditional four-week sleep away camp especially for young ladies, Camp Wicosuta has more than 30 different activities to help teens learn to cook and wash themselves, which aim to help young girls focus on building their self-confidence. Academic CampsMany teens like to advance their education during the summer months while also having fun. There are hundreds of academic camps for them to choose from that specialize in variousacademic subjects like journalism, languages, law, computers, and sciences.1. You should decide what camp to attend according to _______.A. camping time and placeB. your values and customsC. items and activitiesD. personal interests and goals2. Which can be the most suitable for a person who likes sailing and hiking?A. Traditional Camps.B. Chewonki Camp.C. Camp Wicosuta.D. Academic Camps.3. What is the purpose of the activities that teach teens to cook themselves?A. To let teens learn and get relaxed.B. To help girls learn practical skills.C. To help girls build self-confidence.D. To make teens focus on science.BUniversity —the best days of my life! I made lots of friends in my student dorm, went to great parties, joined the debating society... and, well, I did some work too — but I must admit that my lecturers were very patient with my tardiness (拖沓).Ifs easy to look back at our university days in good ways but the truth is that when we first arrived on campus, most of us were out of our comfort zone. In fact, a survey of students at Imperial College London has revealed that 3 out of 4 students experience high levels of stress, or a mental health condition, during their time at college. The survey, completed by over a thousand students, also found that 70% of those that experience stress do so at least once a week, and 9% of them feel stressed constantly., Kristy, a student at Exeter University, didn’t enjoy her first days in college. She says: “When I first got to university I don’t think I’d realized that I’d forgotten how to make friends. I’d been with the same school friends for seven years, and so I was trying to balance social success with academic success while learning how to look after myself at quite at a young age."Dr. Ruth Caleb of the counseling service at Brunei University in London has some tips that should make life easier for students before they set off for university. She says: “Certain things that I think it would be very helpful fo r students to have put in place are an ability to do the practical things of life — to do the washing, to do the cleaning and son on—being able to cook. Budgeting is extremely important in university life.”And Caleb adds: “You should learn how to spend time on your own comfortably.”I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way. I hope that new students these days remember to acquire some life skills before they make the big jump.4. How does the writer feel about his university life?A. Challenging but wonderful.B. Busy and tiring.C. Dull and stressful.D. Boring but successful.5. Which is true about students who first enter university?A. They feel as comfortable as they expect.B. They find it hard to manage their life.C. They fail to balance social and academic life.D. Most of them suffer from constant stress.6. Dr. Ruth Caleb thinks budgeting is of great importance because it .A. helps students put everything in placeB. helps students live independentlyC. makes students' university life easierD. does good to students’ social relationships7. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part in the last paragraph?A. Become very successful.B. Make great progress.C. Get used to university lifeD. Go to university.CIn 1974, when I was 18,1 took up hang-gliding and paragliding. Today Tm a professional hang-glide instructor, but at the time I was one of only about a dozen in the country doing it. I was lucky to survive: the sport was so new and dangerous then. In 1997 I heard about theBirdman competition, in which participants (参与者)compete to fly the furthest distance;I thought it sounded like fun. I felt that a hang-glider, which usually travels around 90 metres, could go as far as 100 metres one day. The first leap was frightening: a huge crosswind meant I had to take off at almost 90 degrees and it was difficult to manage. But I came back, and now participate in the various Birdman competitions that take place across the country, attracting serious and silly competitors alike.Ifs taken 17 years to break the 100 metre barrier, and I was the first to do it. When I broke the world record in 2014,1 took off from Worthing pier (码头)and didn’t touch down for 20 seconds. It was the longest ever flight from a pier, carrying me 159.8 metres until I touched the water. Twenty seconds is a long time when you're doing 45 miles an hour, flying over the waves. Though I still hold the distance record, I didn't win the 2015 Birdman competiti on. This past year has been more difficult. I’m nearly 60 now. Competitors have always joked about how they’ll probably be throwing me off the pier. I had operations on my knees, and then three weeks before this year’s competition at Bognor Regis, I had a mild heart attack. I managed to compete again, but I didn’t feel right. My wife was obviously very concerned, but I keep fit. As long as I don’t overwork myself, and prepare properly for the event, there’s no reason J can’t do it for the next 12, 13 years. Next year, I m going to win it again.8. The passage mainly talks about the writer’s _________.A. enthusiasm about a sportB. knowledge about hang-glidingC. difficulties in his careerD. records in Birdman competitions9. What can be learned about hang-gliding in 1974?A. It was quite popular.B. It was full of risks.C. It had a record of 100 meters.D. It had about 12 instructors.10. The writer failed to win the competition in 2015 because he •A. didn’t tak e it seriously enoughB. was too proud of his recordC. was thrown off the pier by othersD. was in a poor physical condition11. Which of the following best describes the writer?A. Considerate.B. Humorous.C. Determined.D. Patient.DYou’ve heard of Charles Darwin, right? The famous scientist who put forward a theory of evolution. You might have just also heard of Alfred Russel Wallace, who worked together with Darwin on the revolutionary work On the Origin of Species^ published in 1859. But what about Patrick Matthew? “Patrick who?” you might ask. Well, Darwin and Wallace got the fame but Matthew did the legwork too.This British horticulturalist (园艺种植家)actually thought about evolution first, asDr. M ike Weale, geneticist at King’s College London, explains. He says: “Matthew published a brief outline of the idea of species being able to change into other species through natural selection. And he did that 27 years before Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. And they recognized that he did so but other people since have simplified the story and tended to concentrate just on Darwin.”So Patrick Matthew’s relative obscurity (默默无名)may simply be down to us — the general public— wanting to simplify things. But Dr. Patricia Fara, senior tutor at Clare College Cambridge, points out that Darwin’s work might have received more attention because he had powerful friends.Dr. Patricia Fara explains that "Darwin had the most famous, most outstanding members of the scientific society in Victorian times, who were pushing on his behalf. Having a scientific theory being accepted is not just a matter of whether the theory’s right.”Maybe it is time for us to remember Patrick Matthew, a pioneer of the story of survival through adaptation that is at the heart of evolution.12. What makes Darwin and Wallace famous?A. Their great relationship.B. Their work with Matthew.C. Their extraordinary theory.D. Matthew’s legwork.13. What did Matthew do before the book On the Origin of Species was published?A. He worked with a horticulturalist.B. He published the idea of evolution.C. He simplified a story.D. He concentrated on Darwin.14. According to Dr. Patricia Fara, Matt hew’s obscurity was the result of .A. his lack of powerful friendsB. his lack of people’s attentionC. his special characteristicsD. people’s tendency of simplification15. What does the underlined sentence suggest?A. Friends help Darwin’s theory get accepted.B. A theory will be accepted if ifs right.C. People know very little about Matthew.D. We should try to remember Matthew.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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

AMillions of Americans return from long-distance trips by air, but their luggage doesn’t always come home with them. Airline identification tags(标签)can come loose, and the bags go who-knows-where. And passengers leave all kinds of things on planes.The airlines collect the items and, for 90 days, attempt to find their owners. They don’t keep them, since they’re not in the warehouse business. And by law, they cannot sell the bags, because the airlines might be tempted to deliberately misplace luggage.So once insurance companies have paid for lost bags and their contents, and they no longer belong to passengers, a unique store in the little town of Scottsboro, Alabama, buys them. The “Unclaimed Baggage Center,” is so popular that the building, which is set up like a department store, is the number-one tourist attraction in all of Alabama. More than one million visitors stop in each year and take one of the store’s shopping carts on a hunt for treasures.Each day, clerks bring out 7,000 new items, and veteran(老练的)shoppers rush to paw over them. You can find everything from precious jewels to hockey sticks, best-selling novels, leather jackets, tape recorders, surfboards, even half -used tubes of toothpaste.The store’s own laundry washes or cleans all the clot hes found in luggage, then sells them. The Unclaimed Baggage Center has found guns, illegal drugs and even a live rattlesnake.The store has a little museum where some of its most unusual acquisitions(获得物)have been preserved. They include highland bagpipes, a burial mask from an Egyptian pharaoh's tomb, and a medieval suit of armor.Statistics indicate that less than one-half of one percent of luggage checked on U.S. carriers is permanently lost and available to the store.26. Paragraph1 shows that many passengers lose their luggage because______.A. they are forgetfulB. they are in a hurryC. there is no lost and found office in many airportsD. the owners of some luggage can’t be identified27. The reason why the airlines cannot sell the bags is that ______.A. they have to find the ownersB. they are likely to make a profit on the bags on purposeC. some bags are expensiveD. they have to keep the bags as long as possible28. The Unclaimed Baggage Center is very popular because______.A. there's a large variety of goods.B. all the things there are very cheap.C. visitors may purchase something undervalued.D. Visitors will enjoy some amusing activities there.29. What can we infer from the passage?A. A little museum will keep all the precious unclaimed baggage.B. The percentage of passengers who lose their baggage for ever is small.C. The things in the Unclaimed Baggage Center are articles for daily use.D. People are not allowed to buy the illegal things in the store.30. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To introduce how the unclaimed baggage in the airports is handled in America.B. To introduce an attractive place to tourists.C. To remind passengers of taking care of their baggage.D. To advise the airlines to find the owners of the unclaimed baggage.BWhen you’re an employee of a company, no matter the size, it’s common to see co-workers promoted, or transferred to a different department. But there is another way to move around—bycreating a new position for yourself. I did this several years ago, though I wasn’t actively looking for a different job.In 2007, I was hired at the Transamerica Life Insurance Company, as a customer service representative in the distributions services department. I processed requests for distributions from our annuity(养老金)policy holders around the country. Someone might have forgotten to sign a form, for example, or might have omitted security information. To solve the problem, I’d mail the person a letter.The company had been through several combinations, so in our department alone we had a collection of about 140 templates(模板) for letters related to distributions. The longer I worked with the letters, the more I saw how they could be improved. Some had overlapping information and could be combined. Some had incorrect grammar or needed updating. I also noticed that industry terminology(专业术语) wasn’t standard across all the versions.When I told my department supervisor about this in 2008, she agreed that the letters needed revamping. She said I should stop what I’d been doing and start the new work. In a relatively short time, I was able to make numerous improvements and reduce the number of letters to 70. It was an informal job change until a mana gers’ meeting several months later.At that meeting, a vice president who was unaware of my new work mentioned that the division’s entire stock of 1,700 letters should be reviewed. My manager told her that she knew the perfect person for the job—me. The position was still considered temporary when I took on the extra tasks, but I was able to show that the work had value, and I was officially promoted and given a raise in November 2009.31. According to Paragraph 1, which of the following statements is true?A .The author admired those who got a promotion in his company.B. The author tried his best to get a promotion in his companyC. The author was eager to seek another job.D. It is no surprise to see people around us change their positions.32. Which of the following problems with the letters is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Some information needed to be united.B. Some information was overlooked.C. Some had grammatical mistakes.D. Industry terminology didn’t meet the standard.33. The und erlined word “revamping” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to.A. improvingB. rebuildingC. repeatingD. strengthening34.The author started to review the letters when .A. he was hired by the companyB. his department supervisor agreed his ideaC. he was recommended at a managers’ meetingD. he was promoted35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Where there is will, there is a way.B. Don’t let the chance go, when it comes.C. Creating a position, and earning a promotion.D. Ways to get a promotion.CIt was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken. In Ap ple’s case, developers can also obtain the location information for each photo.Senator(参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday.“We asked them if they could find a wa y on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private info,” Mr. Schumer said. “They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed.”On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission(联邦贸易委员会) asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light. Claudia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further.“It sends shivers up the spine to think that one’s personal photos, address book, and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without consent,” Mr. Schumer wrote in his letter to the F.T.C. “If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion, then s urely technology exists to close it, and that’s exactly what must happen.”Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem, then he would be forced to take the issue further.He said other companies had been willing t o work with his office to fix issues. “I’m optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation,” he said. “If it’s not changed, then we’ll look the F.T.C., and if that doesn’t work then we’ll look at legislative approach.”The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant(警醒的) in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to privacy.36.The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and Google .A. to discuss whether it is illegal to have access to private information.B. to stop them from developing the technology of taking photos.C. to urge them not to invade consumers’ privacy.D. to keep them from obtaining the location information for each photo37. Which of the following statements is true?A. Privacy invasion from Apple has existed for a long time.B. Privacy invasion from Google has existed for a long time.C. Apple and Google have decided to make a change.D. Mr. Schumer takes the privacy concerns caused by Apple and Google seriously.38. Mr. Schumer’s letter to the F.T.C. mainly shows that the techn ology to open the door to privacy invasion .A. causes people to worry about the safety of their personal information .B. can be used if permitted.C. causes personal information to be posted online without permission.D. causes privacy invasion to happen frequently.39.If the privacy concerns can’t be solved with the help of the F.T.C.,.A.The companies will be fined.B. The companies will be closed.C. The senators will turn to legislation.D. The senators will force the companies not to invade privacy.40.Where can we read about the passage?A.In a science report.B. In a newspaper.C. In a magazineD. In a textbook.DAs students and teachers returned to school on Monday after the publication of performance ratings(等级) for 18,000 teachers, many parents said they were giving the reports serious thought. Yet there was an equal measure of skepticism among parents that test scores have any relationship with teachers’ competence.Some said they already knew how good a teacher was by walking into the classroom or by monitoring their children’s progress. “I’m the kind of person who likes to see for themselves,” a father in Queens said.Others worried about how their fellow parents, perhaps ones with sharper elbows, might respond. Will they demand a new teacher? Move their children to a new school?Elizabeth Sane, the mother of a fourth grader at the Ella Baker School, a kindergarten-through-eighth-grade school on the Upper East Side, said that her daughter was switched to a diff erent teacher’s class over the summer, and that it was “like adding salt to the wound” when she saw the high ratings for her daughter’s previous teacher. Her daughter’s teacher this year did not receive a rating because he previously taught high schoolMs. Sane said that the rating was not the only factor that influenced how she assessed a teacher’s performance, but that the data used for teacher evaluations mattered.But other parents dropping their children off at the Ella Baker School said they did not trust teacher ratings based on test scores any more than they wanted their children’s learning measured only by the state exams.“Some people take it as the final word, but it doesn’t change who they are as teachers. The ratings aren’t accurate, and the whole student testing thing needs to be thrown out,” said Lydia Delgado, whose child is in the second grade.41. Paragraph 1 tells us thatA. All the teachers received a rating given by the students.B. All the teachers will receive a rating at the end of each semester,C. Most parents took the teachers’ ratings seriously.D. About half of the parents doubted the ratings to be reliable.42.What does the underlined part “with sharper elbows” mean?A. With the ability to change the situation.B. With a good relationship with the school.C. With a stong will to succeed.D. With strong elbows physically.43.Paragraph 4 shows that Elizabeth SaneA. was on the side of giving ratings to the teachers.B. regretted having sent her daughter to another class.C. didn’t think her daughter’s previous teacher was better.D. wanted her daughter to return to her previous class.44. Which of the following statements is true?A. The teacher ratings were decided by the test scores of the students.B. Ms. S ane evaluated a teacher’s performance only by the rating.C. Lydia Delgado didn’t think the students’ scores should be kept.D. To give ratings to teachers will come to an end in the near future.45.The attitude of the author towards the way to assess tea chers’ competence is.A. supportiveB. criticalC. indifferentD. objective第二节:信息匹配(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息,请在答题卡卷上作答。
