2014年高考高三年级英语模拟试卷_适用于新课标全国卷范文
2014高考高三年级英语模拟试卷(第I卷)总分:150分考试时间:120分钟一.阅读理解(40分)AThe time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world’s languages. Today humans express themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings change. The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English. People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesn’t come in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing?The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever.The future of the world’s languages depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allowed them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.56. Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _____languages in the world.A. 4,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. no more than 2057. In “The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing thelanguages of the smaller cultures,” the verb “replace” means “_____”.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to use a second thing in place of the first thingC. to find good place for somethingD. to decide how important something is58. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a major worldlanguage, _____.A. radio and television would all use the languageB. it would be easier for them to share their ideasC. lessons at schools would be taught in the languageD. people would respect their own culture more59. Also, the passage says that if nobody spoke the languages of smallercultures, _____.A. Many of the words for things we do not know would be lost.B. knowledge would come from the mouths of the eldersC. people would have difficult in working togetherD. there would be no smaller cultures.60. By saying “Time will have the last word,” the writer means “ _____”.A. let us wait and seeB. we have time to do somethingC. it is too late to do anythingD. it is only a problem of timeBPeople who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.“We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,” says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study’s lead researcher.In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms.Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of2control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds.To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions). The CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings that they had experienced that day.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy (堵塞) noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are, For now, it can not hurt to look on the bright side more often than not.61. What is the text mainly about?A. How to get rid of colds.B. Attitude determines life.C. Smiles turn away colds.D. Different opinions about colds.62.The phrase”full of vim and vigor” underlined in Paragraph 1 probablymeans___________.A.ignorantB. Well-informedC. energeticD. in low spirits63.According to the research, persons who are likely to catch colds should bethose __________?A. Who have negative attitude towards their life.B. Who are very emotional and optimistic.C. Who are open-minded and outgoing.D. Who have trouble with their noses64.The last paragraph implies that __________.A.positive and negative emotions have good aspects.B.people who have been less positive tend to catch colds.C.Keeping an optimistic state of mind is good for health.D.positive emotions have a stronger effect on health.C高三英语第3页Comic Strips(连环漫画)For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19th century, people produced and read books of drawing. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics. They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl(猫头鹰)and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and the tiger were brave. The fox and the wolf were cunning(狡猾的)greedy(贪婪的)and dangerous.A century ago, an American newspaper published the first full-colour comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.In modern times, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages. People believe that its creator, Charles M. Schultz, earned US$60 million a year.Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become a millionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters in your story. One type of person might say, “Please be quiet and listen to what we have to say.” But another type of character might simply say, “Shut up and listen!”Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They should be obviously good or bad ---- and not a mixture of both. A leader must be stronger or cleverer than his or her followers. In many comic strips ---- especially those showing crime of adventure ---- there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story.65. The underlined word “plot” is similar in meaning to _____.A. placeB. stripC. storyD. character66. Which of the following is NOT the name of a cartoon Character?A. Snoopy.B. Peanuts.C. Woodstock.D. Garfield.67. In the 19th century, the wolf in the cartoons was NOT _____.A. cunningB. dangerousC. greedyD. brave4DMeetings don’t just eat up time in the workplace ; they actually make groups of people stupider, says new research.Working in a group makes people perform worse on intelligence tests, as some group members are so anxious about doing well that they “divert”their brain towards maintaining their social status in the group.You may joke about how committee meetings make you feel brain dead, but our findings suggest that they make you act brain dead as well, said Read Montague the study leader at Virginia Tech.Groups of volunteers showed measurable drops in IQ when asked to perform intelligence tests socially, with the results broadcast to the group.Some people performed well in the “social”tests, but others were affected badly--- and overall,performance dropped.Women appear to feel this pressure more than men---only three out of 13 female volunteers performed well in a social environment, with 10 out of 13 finding that their performance dropped.The researchers used a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to monitor how people’s brains responded--- and found that bad performers tended to show activity in parts of their brain that dealt with emotions and anxiety.“We started with individuals who were matched for their IQ,”said Montague. “Yet when we placed them in small groups, ranked their performance on tasks against their peers, and broadcast the rankings, we saw dramatic drops in the ability of some study subjects to solve problems.”“Our study highlights the unexpected and dramatic consequences even subtle social signals in group settings may have on the individual,” said lead author Keneth Kishida.“We don’t know how much these effects are present in real-world settings. By placing an emphasis on competition, for example, are we missinga large segment of the talent pool?”68. Which of the following statements is Not true according to thepassage?A. Meetings make groups of people stupider.B. Meetings make you act brain dead.C. Meetings make people perform worse on intelligence tests.高三英语第5页D. Meetings don’t affect men’s performance in intelligence tests.69. This passage can be classified as __________.A. An advertisementB.a book reviewC. A feature storyD.a science report70.What would be the best title of the text?A. Brainstorming? More Like Brain DrainB. Brainstorming Affects People”s IQ TestC. Brainstorming Makes People Act Brain DeadD.Brainstorming Affects Women’s PerformanceE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。

The best ecotourism destinations in India.六、书面表达One possible version:Dear Peter,I am very glad to receive your letter, in which you asked me about family tradition recently referred to on CCTV and meanwhile among the masses. Different families hold different focuses of family tradition, such as unity, love and care, honesty, diligence, respect and responsibility.Now, I’d like to introduce ours to you —hard-working, which my family would appreciate permanently. In the morning, my grandma usually gets up early, prepares us a good breakfast, and then begins to do other jobs. She works slowly, but always makes everything clean. Under the influence of my grandmother, my mother also does quite well both in her work and at home. Because of this attitude, every year she was titled "outstanding communist." After dinner, she often gives up entertainment, helping our family with housework. It’s my grandmother and my mother's diligent deeds that make me believe that if there is dirt just mop it repeatedly, never quitting until removing it. I serve as a good help to my teachers and classmates as well as my family. Hardworking has deeply rooted in my heart in the form of invisible power.Family education is an important part of Chinese traditional culture and education. It can be a life of truth; also the principle of doing things. Good family tradition pushes one generation after another to ensure children’s healthy growth, whose positive energy promotes social progress of civilization.What about your ideas about it? Looking forward to your letter.Yours sincerely,Li Hua听力材料Text 1:W: It was really a wonderful game. Zhejiang team was strong and our family team wasn’t bad, either.M: No, we weren’t. If only I had written the right spelling of the characters.Text2:M: Does Shanghai rain a lot in summer?W: Oh yes! Sometimes it rains very heavily. How about here in Beijing?M: There’s a lot of rain in summer. But it seldom rains in autumn.Text 3:M: How many people are you paying the airport tax for?W: Me and my boyfriend.M: They are 12 US dollars each.W: Oh, OK. Here’s 30 dollars.M: Here are your two receipts and change.Text 4:M: I am interested in purchasing that clock. I have been late to work almost every day this week.W: Well, luckily, this one has an alarm clock. I use the same one every day myself, and it is very helpful.Text 5:M: Did you enjoy holidays in Brighton?W: Yes, we had a good time. And we had some friends with us there.M: Where did you stay? In a hotel?W: No. We camped near the mountains.Text 6:M: There is just one problem, madam. Your driver’s license is no longer valid.W: What?M: Yes. It is the 19th today, and your driver’s license was valid through the 17th. I’m afraid it breaks the rule. Do you have another form of ID?W: Not with me. My passport is at home, but that’s 30 minutes away.M: I’m sorry, but this is our rule. If you want to continue with your deposit or check your account records, you might have to go home and get it.W: That’s OK. I’ll just come back tomorrow with my passport.Text 7M: Can you show me some sweaters, please?W: Certainly, Sir. We have a large variety over here. Do you like any of these?M: That blue one there is very nice. How much is it?W: It’s a hundred and sixty-nine dollars.M: That’s more than I want to spend. Do you have anything less expensive?W: Certainly, Sir. What price range do you have in mind?M: I’d like to stay under a hundred dollars.W: In that case, I strongly recommend this red one. It’s just five dollars over your limit and is worth every penny of it.M: OK. I’ll take it.Text 8M: What’s wrong, Cathy?W: Jackie, do you know how this telephone works? The sign says we can use it for long-distance calls, but I don’t know where to put the money.M: Oh, well, this kind of phone doesn’t take coins. You have to buy a special card to insert down there at the bottom.W: I’ve never heard of that before.M: Here, I have one.W: Where did you get it?M: At the information office on school campus. It costs eight dollars. I think you can also get them directly from the phone company, too.W: Can we save money by using the card?M: No, not really. But it’s pretty convenient indeed.W: I guess I’ll go over to the office and get one now.M: Here, just take mine.W: Thanks.Text 9M: Hi, Wendy.W: Oh, Jonny. How are you doing? Busy?M: No, not at all. I’ve been a couch potato lately, killing time by watching TV. Oh, by the way, did you hear the news?W: What news?M: The government is going to turn the city square into an amusement park.W: Wonderful. I am glad that the big and ugly thing will be gone.M: Why? Don’t you think, the square is 100 times better than any amusement park?W: I don’t think so.M: The square is a symbol of our city.W: Well, I don’t know if that huge and boring thing can be our symbol. What I care is that the city has dozens of parks where you can take a nice walk.M: You’re right, but don’t you think that we will no longer have a peaceful and quiet place once the amusement park opens?W: Does that matter? More importantly, the amusement park means employment.M: Why?W: Income. If you have income, you have money to spend, and in turn, it will create more jobs.Text 10What do Napoleon and Clinton have in common? They are both left-handed.Today, about 15% of people are left-handed. But why are people left-handed? The answer has to do with the way the brain works. The brain has two halves —the right half controls the left side of the body and the left controls the right side of the body. So, right-handed people have a strong left-brain. And left-handed people have a strong right-brain.The two halves of the brain are about the same size. But each side controls different things. The left side controls language, math, and logic. When you remember new words, or when you put things in order, you use your left side. The right side of the brain controls your love of art, colors, and music. It is also good at recognizing faces.This doesn’t mean that all artists are left-handed and all lawyers are right-handed. Some right-handers have a strong right-brain, and some left-handers have a strong left-brain. Very few ofus can use both of our hands equally well.。

2014高考高三年级英语模拟试卷(第I卷)总分:150分考试时间:120分钟一.阅读理解(40分)AThe time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world’s languages. Today humans express themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings change. The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English. People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesn’t come in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing?The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever.The future of the world’s languages depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allowed them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.56. Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _____languages in the world.A. 4,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. no more than 2057. In “The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing thelanguages of the smaller cultures,” the verb “replace” means “_____”.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to use a second thing in place of the first thingC. to find good place for somethingD. to decide how important something is58. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a major worldlanguage, _____.A. radio and television would all use the languageB. it would be easier for them to share their ideasC. lessons at schools would be taught in the languageD. people would respect their own culture more59. Also, the passage says that if nobody spoke the languages of smallercultures, _____.A. Many of the words for things we do not know would be lost.B. knowledge would come from the mouths of the eldersC. people would have difficult in working togetherD. there would be no smaller cultures.60. By saying “Time will have the last word,” the writer means “ _____”.A. let us wait and seeB. we have time to do somethingC. it is too late to do anythingD. it is only a problem of timeBPeople who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.“We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,” says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study’s lead researcher.In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms.Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of2control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds.To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions). The CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings that they had experienced that day.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy (堵塞) noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are, For now, it can not hurt to look on the bright side more often than not.61. What is the text mainly about?A. How to get rid of colds.B. Attitude determines life.C. Smiles turn away colds.D. Different opinions about colds.62.The phrase”full of vim and vigor” underlined in Paragraph 1 probablymeans___________.A.ignorantB. Well-informedC. energeticD. in low spirits63.According to the research, persons who are likely to catch colds should bethose __________?A. Who have negative attitude towards their life.B. Who are very emotional and optimistic.C. Who are open-minded and outgoing.D. Who have trouble with their noses64.The last paragraph implies that __________.A.positive and negative emotions have good aspects.B.people who have been less positive tend to catch colds.C.Keeping an optimistic state of mind is good for health.D.positive emotions have a stronger effect on health.C高三英语第3页Comic Strips(连环漫画)For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19th century, people produced and read books of drawing. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics. They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl(猫头鹰)and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and the tiger were brave. The fox and the wolf were cunning(狡猾的)greedy(贪婪的)and dangerous.A century ago, an American newspaper published the first full-colour comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.In modern times, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages. People believe that its creator, Charles M. Schultz, earned US$60 million a year.Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become a millionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters in your story. One type of person might say, “Please be quiet and listen to what we have to say.” But another type of character might simply say, “Shut up and listen!”Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They should be obviously good or bad ---- and not a mixture of both. A leader must be stronger or cleverer than his or her followers. In many comic strips ---- especially those showing crime of adventure ---- there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story.65. The underlined word “plot” is similar in meaning to _____.A. placeB. stripC. storyD. character66. Which of the following is NOT the name of a cartoon Character?A. Snoopy.B. Peanuts.C. Woodstock.D. Garfield.67. In the 19th century, the wolf in the cartoons was NOT _____.A. cunningB. dangerousC. greedyD. brave4DMeetings don’t just eat up time in the workplace ; they actually make groups of people stupider, says new research.Working in a group makes people perform worse on intelligence tests, as some group members are so anxious about doing well that they “divert”their brain towards maintaining their social status in the group.You may joke about how committee meetings make you feel brain dead, but our findings suggest that they make you act brain dead as well, said Read Montague the study leader at Virginia Tech.Groups of volunteers showed measurable drops in IQ when asked to perform intelligence tests socially, with the results broadcast to the group.Some people performed well in the “social”tests, but others were affected badly--- and overall,performance dropped.Women appear to feel this pressure more than men---only three out of 13 female volunteers performed well in a social environment, with 10 out of 13 finding that their performance dropped.The researchers used a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to monitor how people’s brains responded--- and found that bad performers tended to show activity in parts of their brain that dealt with emotions and anxiety.“We started with individuals who were matched for their IQ,”said Montague. “Yet when we placed them in small groups, ranked their performance on tasks against their peers, and broadcast the rankings, we saw dramatic drops in the ability of some study subjects to solve problems.”“Our study highlights the unexpected and dramatic consequences even subtle social signals in group settings may have on the individual,” said lead author Keneth Kishida.“We don’t know how much these effects are present in real-world settings. By placing an emphasis on competition, for example, are we missinga large segment of the talent pool?”68. Which of the following statements is Not true according to thepassage?A. Meetings make groups of people stupider.B. Meetings make you act brain dead.C. Meetings make people perform worse on intelligence tests.高三英语第5页D. Meetings don’t affect men’s performance in intelligence tests.69. This passage can be classified as __________.A. An advertisementB.a book reviewC.

That’s not a big number _41_ to the city’s population of 23 million, but everyone agrees that traffic is a big problem here. And many people would argue that it’s not the number of cars on the road, but the _42_ of the drivers that is the main cause of concern.According to one survey, 37% of Shanghai drivers have less than three years of driving experience. Many of these drivers are middle-aged and have never operated machinery more _43_ than a washing machine. On the road, they drive fast when they should drive slow, _44_ use turn signals, and make right turns on red lights without stopping first. And in the past year, there have been several incidents that resulted in pedestrian deaths when _45_ drivers mistook the gas pedal for the brake (刹车)pedal.There are new regulations _46_ at making it more difficult for people to get a driver’s license, but that is only a partial solution to Shanghai’s traffic problems. What is really needed is a _47_ in drivers’ attitudes. There seems to be a lack of concern for safety on the part of drivers: their own safety and the safety of others. You can see this every day as drivers change lanes aggressively and _48_ pedestrians at crosswalks and intersections.A car is a great convenience, but it can also be a _49_ weapon. Drivers will have to realize that before Shanghai’s streets can become truly safe.III. Reading Comprehension (50%)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.German universities, known for their excellence throughout the world in the early part of the 20th century, are in a state of decline, according to Michael Burda, an American economics professor at Berlin’s Humholdt University.Burda claims that Germany’s 300 schools of 50 learning are being hurt by ―a long-time shortage of general 51 .―No statistic(统计数字)makes this more evident than a low proportion of young Germans actually 52 university-level degrees,‖ he says.Only 22 per cent of German students aged 24-34 53 complete their university studies.That’s compared to 31 percent in the UK, and 39 percent in the US, 54 the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).One reason for the decline is that Germany spends barely 1.1 per cent of its gross 55 product (GDP)on higher education, compared to 2.6 percent in the US.― A central reason why so few Germans56 university degrees here is the deterioration (下降/退化)in the 57 of education.This certainly comes from the rise in the number of students per teacher.Those who have the will and the means often study 58 ,‖ he said.Since the 1960s, more than 90 percent of German higher education has been publicly supported.Famous universities are still public institutions, 59 by federal and regional governments.Private funding of universities is 60 in Germany.This comes from the country’s lack of a donating tradition and rules limiting the amounts of tax-free donations.But now there signs that 61 may be changing.Professor Dieter Lenzen, president of Berlin’s Free University, agrees that62 money has to be spent on higher education.But he disputes Burda’s claim that German universiti es are in 63 .―A decade ago that may have been the 64 , but that was a result of the unsteady situation at the time of reunification.Now, things have changed for the better,‖ Lenzen said.50.A.self B.high C.higher D.language 51.A.loan B.funding C.aid D.finance 52.A.completing B.rewarding C.demanding of D.applying for 53.A.successfully B.scarcely C.fail to D.try to 54.A.thanks to B.due to C.owing to D.according to 55.A.definite B.digital C.dominant D.domestic 56.A.persuade B.pursue C.seek D.refuse 57.A.difficulty B.quantity C.quality D.organization 58.A.here B.abroad C.alone D.at home 59.A.administered B.established C.managed D.financed 60.A.rare B.common C.sufficient D.rejected 61.A.tax B.money C.attitudes D.decision 62.A.less B.more C.no D.enough 63.A.progress B.decline C.need D.development 64.A.evidence B.occasion C.situation D.caseSection BDirections:Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The Internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card fraud. Your card information could even be for sale in an illegal Web site.Web sites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care. On-line shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they bought.The thieves then go shopping with your card number or sell the information over the Internet.Computers hackers(黑客) have broken down security systems, raising questions about the safety of cardholder information. Several months ago,25 000 customers of CD Universe, an on-line music retailer(批发商),were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Web site after the retailer refused to pay US $157 828 to get back the information.Credit-card firms are now fighting against on-line fraud. Master Card is working on plans for Web-only credit card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping on-line.However, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.Ask about your credit-card firm's on-line rules: Under British law, cardholders are responsible for the first US $78 of any fraudulent spending.And shop only at secure sites: Send your credit-card information only if the Web site offers advanced secure system.If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The Web site address may also start with https://—the extra ―s‖ stands for secure. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.Keep your password safe: Most online sites require a user name and password before placing an order. Treat your passwords with care.65. What do most people worry about the Internet according to this passage?A. A lot of stolen credit-cards were sold on the Internet.B. Fraud on the Internet.C. Many Web sites are destroyed.D. Many illegal Web sites are on the Internet.66. What is the meaning of the word ―fraud‖ ?A. cheatingB. saleC. paymentD. safety67. How can the thieves get the information of the credit-card?A. The customers give them the information.B. The thieves steal the information from Web sites.C. The customers sell the information to them.D. Both A and B.68. You are shopping on the site: ,and you want to buy a TV set, what does this article suggest doing?A. Order the TV set at once.B. Do not buy the TV set on this site.C. E-mail the site your credit-card information.D. Tell the site your password and buy the TV set for you.(B)Before we send humans into deep space, we’ll have to find out just how long the human body can survi ve in a weightless environment. One problem is that in space there’s no physical sensation to let you know when you’re upside down and astronauts have to rely on possible clues from their surroundings. A few hours after reaching orbit(轨道), one in three of all astronauts will experience space sickness—a feeling rather like carsickness. There is also the problem of protection from the extreme hazards(危险) of space such as constant meteorite bombardment(陨星轰击) and radiation. It is going to take some clever technology to keep rockets and astronautsfrom these dangers.Even with a well-protected spaceship, space travel isn’t going to be easy. No matter what you travel in, it is going to be a long flight in space! Science fiction writers often imagine using suspended animation(动画), a kind of forced long-term sleep, as a way for astronauts to escape the boredom of long missions.An even stronger measure might be to freeze the astronauts. We already use cryogenic(低温) techniques to preserve dead bodies and store human embryos(胚胎). Freezing living adults may not be so far away, but perhaps we don’t have to do that. Perhaps we should use our existing technology and send frozen embryos to the far corners of universe.Hundreds of years from now, billions and billions of miles away, the embryos will be thawed(解冻) and their hearts will start beating. These astronauts of the future will not grow inside a mother’s body but will be produced in a machine. They will be brought up by robot. It may seem strange but one day it might just happen.69. We can learn from the passage that _______.A. scientists already use existing technology to store embryos for space flightB. cryogenic techniques will practically be used for space flight in hundreds of yearsC. it may be easier to freeze embryos than to freeze adults on the spaceshipD. most astronauts will suffer from space sickness70. In the future astronauts for extreme long journeys will grow up_____.A. before they go into spaceB. during the space tripC. when they are inside mother’s bodyD. after they return from space71. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the bright future of space flightB. the possibility to train embryo astronautsC. the physical and mental conditions of astronautsD. the problems and the possible solutions to them in long space flights( C )NASDAQ, acronym for the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation system, is one of the largest markets in the world for the trading of stocks. The number of companies listed on NASDAQ is more than that on any of the other stock exchange in the United States, including the New York Stock Exchange(NYSE) and the American Stock Exchange (AMSE). The majority of companies listed on NASDAQ are smaller than most of those on the NYSE and AMSX. NASDAQ has become known as the home of new technology companies, particularly computer and computer-related businesses. Trading on NASDAQ is started by stock brokers(经纪人) acting on behalf of their clients. The brokers negotiate with market makers who concentrate on trading specific stocks to reach a price for the stock.Unlike other stock exchange, NASDAQ has no central location where trading takes place. Instead, its market makers are located all over the country and make trades by telephone and via the Internet. Because brokers and market makers trade stocks directly instead of on the floor of a stock exchange, NASDAQ is called an over-the-counter market. The term over-the –counter refers to the direct nature of the trading, as in a store where goods are handed over a counter.Since its inception(开市) in 1971, the NASDAQ Stock Market has been the innovator(创新者). As the world’s first electronic stock market, NASDAQ long ago set a precedent(先例) fortechnological trading innovation that is unrivaled(无对手的). Now ready to become the world’s first truly global market, the NASDAQ Stock Market is the market of choice for business industry leaders worldwide. By providing an efficient environment for raising capital NASDAQ has helped thousands of companies achieve their desired growth and successfully make the leap into public ownership.72. What is TRUE of NASDAQ?A.It is the largest stock market in the world.B.IT lists only small companies.C.It lists all the new technology companies.D.It lists the biggest number of companies.73. The word‖ negotiate‖(Line 8,Para.1) means ________.A. discussB. argueC. interfereD. cope74. NASDAQ is also known as an over-the –counter market because it seems______.A. a stock marketB. a stock exchangeC. a counterD. a store75. Since its founding in 1971, NASDAQ has contributed to ______.A.raising money for many companiesB.creating an efficient environment for many companiesC.the expected development of many companiesD.the unexpected development of many companiesSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A - F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76. ______________________Current research into the human gene system is helping us understand why people have predispositions(易患某病倾向)to certain diseases. Knowing our genetic makeup can help us to judge whether or not we may be stricken by particular illness, such as cancer. Even before birth, we are able to do genetic screenings to determine what a child's genetic disorder will be. Scientists have already isolated and identified the genes responsible for the more than 4,000 genetic diseases that affect human beings.77. ______________________The implications of this knowledge are astonishing. In addition to predicting genetic predisposition towards diseases, gene therapies may provide new treatments or cures for serious diseases. Millions of people already use genetically engineered drugs to treat heart disease, cancer, AIDS, and strokes(中风). But with the research that is now being conducted, we may find curesto many more diseases. In the near future, genetic experimentation will also allow parents to select the traits of their children. Genetic traits that determine height, weight, eye and hair color will be able to be controlled, and many parents are excited about this potential.78. ______________________Many people, however, are unwilling to accept the possibilities genetic research.. For example, one reason some women do not use the largest genetic testing for breast cancer is because they are afraid they will be discriminated against. Another problem is that many people do not want to discover their weakness. What if they learn that they have a disease for which there are no medical cures? How will such knowledge affect their lives? Do people really want to know what they will die of?79. ______________________Many people believe that history has not always shown human decision-making to be bright when it comes to ethical(道德的)choices. Jeremy Rifkin is probably the most well known opponent of genetic engineering. He believes that humans are not responsible enough to experiment with genes and should not "play God" He asks, "Just because it can be done, does that mean it should be done?" He points out that our society will eventually look and act the same if parents select the traits of their children, and he questions the desirability of such a society.80. ______________________One of the fears expressed about genetic experimentation involves privacy. Already blood sample taken from patients in hospitals have been used for genetic research without the patients' permission. Most people would agree that one's health and genetic makeup are private concerns. But if insurance companies gain access to this information, it could have a large impact on insurance coverage or costs; if employers gain access to the information, it could have a large impact on hiring or promotion decisions. The possibilities for discrimination are obvious. Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.(No more than 12 words)A long-awaited final report from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concludes that foods from healthy cloned animals and their offspring are as safe as those from ordinary animals, effectively removing the last US regulatory barrier to the marketing of meat and milk from cloned cattle, pigs and goats.The 968-page "final risk assessment," not yet released but obtained by The Washington Post, finds no evidence to support people’s concerns that food from clones may have hidden risk s. But, recognizing that a majority of consumers are wary of(谨慎的)food from clones—and that cloning could damage the good image of American milk and meat—the report includes hundreds of pages of raw data so that others can see how it came to its conclusions.The report also acknowledges that human health concerns are not the only subject raised by the coming-out of cloned farm animals.―Moral, religious and ethical concerns have been raised,‖ the agency notes in a document accompanying the report. But the report is ―exactly a science-based assessment.‖ It reports, because the agency is not authorized by law to consider those issues.In practice, it will be years before foods from clones make their way to store shelves in large quantities, in part because the clones themselves are too valuable to kill or milk. Instead, the expensive animals’replicas(复制品) of some of the finest farm animals ever born — will be used firstly as breeding stock to create what supporters say will be a new generation of superior farm animals.When food from those animals hits the market, the public may yet have its say. FDA officials have said they do not expect to require food from clones to be labeled as such, but they may allow foods from ordinary animals to be labeled as not from clones.81. What conclusion has FDA drawn after the public waited for a long time?82. Foods from clones won’t be available soon partly because _________________.83. With the appearance of cloned farm animals, people care more about _________________ problems.84. How will foods from ordinary animals be labeled?第II卷I.

Why can’t there be 25 hours in a day?” complained Liu Ran in Hong Kong as mid-term exams were going on.The 18-year-old was Shandong Province’s top scorer in this year’s college entra nce examination. After graduating from Tai’an No.1 High School, she chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong(香港中文大学) ,although both Peking University and Tsinghua University promised her a place.“I want to experience a more international school and soc ial life in Hong Kong. I’m majoring in journalism, so Hong Kong will surely help widen my horizons,” Liu said.It is two months since Liu first set foot on Hong Kong. She missed home a lot at the beginning, because of the food and language problems.“The canteen offers mostly Western or Guangdong food, but it’s convenient to cook for ourselves in our dorm if we like. People speak Cantonese and almost all classes are in English,” Liu explained.Her English and Cantonese are now both improving, but she still needs more time to adapt to the new environment.“I’m happy that I made the right decision to study here. With a mix of theEastern and Western cultures, there is so much to discover and learn,” she said.Liu has 18 credit hours(学分) of classes every week and 23 non-credit hours every other week. She has signed up for four associations including the Chinese Language Debating Team and the drama club. Essays, book reports and presentations also take plenty of time to prepare. And , of course, there are various parties to attend.“I wasn’t a party animal before, but that may be interesting part of college. I sense myself changing,” Liu said.66. Liu Ran chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong, because___________.A. she couldn’t be admitted to Peking Universi tyB. Hong Kong is a good placeC. she wants to be far from her homelandD. the Chinese University of Hong Kong can widen her horizons67. According to the last para graph, we can infer_________________________.A. now Liu Ran is an animalB. Liu Ran hates the busy life in the Chinese University of Hong KongC. Liu Ran likes the food thereD. the busy and full life makes Liu Ran feel good68.Liu Ran had to overcome the difficulties in many aspects EXCEPT_______________.A. foodB. languageC. missing homeD. no friendsB.That year , in the local school, there was a new math teacher, as well as some new pupils. One of the new kids was the stupidest child anyone had ever seen. It made no difference how quickly or how slowly they tried explaining numbers to him; he would always end up saying something enormously stupid. Like two plus two was five, seven times three was twenty-seven, or a triangle had thirty corners……Before this boy arrived, math lessons had been the most boring of all. Now they were great fun. Encouraged by the new teacher, the children would listen to the pieces of nonsense spouted by the new kid, and they would have to correct his mistakes.Whenever the new teacher asked questions, the stupid kid would stand up but made the wrong answers, the other students all wanted to be the first to find his mistakes, and then think up the most original ways to explain them. To do this they used all kinds of stuff : sweets, playing cards, oranges, paper planes, etc. It didn’t seem like any of this bothered the new kid.However, Little Lewis was sure that it was bound to make him feel sad inside. Lewis was sure he would see him crying. So, one day, he decided to follow the new kid home after school. On leaving school, the new kid walked a few minutes to a local park, and there he waited for a wh ile, until someone came along to meet him……It was the new teacher!The teacher gave the new kid a hug, and off they went, hand in hand. Following from a distance, Lewis could hear they were talking about math.69.The math lessons became interesting again because of the new teacher’s ___________.A. creativityB. imaginationC. responsibilityD. curiosity70. The passage implies that the stupidest child____________________________.A. was in great need of math teacher’s help after classB. knew much more about math than other classmatesC. had no much gift for math and was slow to learn itD. disliked both the new math teacher and his lessons71. According to the passage, Lewis followed the stupidest in order to ______________.A. learn about where he livedB. find out if he felt upsetC. say something to comfort himD. make friends with him72. What does the underlined word “this” in the third paragraph refer to ?A. To find th e stupidest kid’s mistakes.B. To think up the most original ways to explain.C. To use all kinds of stuff.D. To follow him home after school.CBEIJING —With a series of measures being adopted to control price rise, the Chinese government is confident of keeping prices at a reasonable level, Premier Wen Jiabao said Sunday morning, asking people to remain confident.“I believe we can keep prices at a reasonable level through our efforts. As a major leader of the government, I have the responsibility and I have the confidence, too.” He made the remarks while answering a listener’s question during a radio broadcast by China National Radio.Steps taken in the past month, including price controls to curb speculation(抑制投机) and monetary tightening(货币紧缩), had started to produce results, he said.The government plans to build 10 million units of affordable housing in 2011, up from this year’s target of 5.8 million.China will also increase efforts to curb speculation in the housing market, mainly through monetary policies and stricter use of land, Wen said, without giving details.Wen said the country had a good agricultural supply base which gave the government confidence that it could stabilize prices.In a bid to control inflation, the government has also increased the bank reserve requirement ratio six times and lifted interest rate twice this year, he added.Further, authorities have introduced many measures including cutting fees for transportation of agriculture products and controlling food price rise strictly.The overall price level, especially of major consumer goods, has now begun to drop, Wen said.“The fundamental way to stabilize prices is to achieve a balance of supply and deman d, which requires continuous development of agriculture,” said premier, adding that the central government has worked out measures to increase agricultural production.73.
