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

ALook around when you’re on a subway. What’s the most popular time-killing activity? In China, many people play on their cell phones. But in other countries, many people enjoy reading. Chinese people read an average(平均) of 4.5 books during 2015, according to a recent survey. While a US citizen reads 21 a year and a Japanese reads 17, according to UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) .Reading books builds a bridge between our life and the unknown world.

It’s OK for you to want only the best for yourselves, but that is why you have the stress in your work and life even if you’re very successful now.”“All of y ou really wanted the coffee, not the cups, but you chose the best cups and were eyeing each other’s cups.”“Now think about this: life is the coffee, and money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold life. They do not change the quality (质量) of life. Sometimes, we just care about the cups, and we fail to enjoy the coffee. So, don’t let the cups drive you, enjoy the coffee instead.”25.

AAround four years ago, I received a call from the principal of our school as to the “Parents View” talk the next morning. He asked me to speak to the group. After the call, my whole body became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night, I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come. Finally, I gathered some courage. I thought, “If I miss this opportunity, surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs.”I reached the school in time. Before my turn came, my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasn’t even able to read the written speech properly. I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading. That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness, Public Speaking.After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. He told me that this happens to everyone. Even great speaker, faced the same things when they started. He suggested that I come again next time.Around one month later, I was invited to refer to a topic on Motivation. This time I was feeling comfortable. My speech was not only appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers, because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged and praised my efforts.After delivering is successfully, I became more confident .l said to myself, “If I can speak in front of such a learned audience, like the principal who educates others, I can now speak in front of others too.”I started delivering lectures in my plant, on various topics like Self Motivation, Personality Development, Personal Excellence, Spoken English and Presentation Skills. This has become a passion for me. I learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.21.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.

What does the underlined part “ominous apprehensions” in the first paragraph mean?A. Unlucky opportunities.B. Negative ideas.C. Curious views.D. Happy comments.BBuilding a company website is one of the most important parts of creating a successful business．But designing a website can be time consuming and expensive．Web designers are difficult towork with，and even though you’re paying them．There are cheaper ways to establish your company online，and Wix．com stands out among them．Wix．com offers free HTML5 and Flash website design that you can do on your own，without having to pay for a pricey web designer．With unlimited space foras many pages as you want，customized looks，photo galleries，and blog platform capabilities，social networking buttons，Wix has everything a business of any size needs to make an impact online．You get full control over what information fills in the blanks，and you don’t ha ve to know a thing about HTML to make this work．The way your website looks says a lot about your company．Wix does that，and it does it for free．Another thing that makes Wix the most affordable option in creating a website is that you don’t have to pay for a separate web host—every page created on Wix is hosted on Wix，free of charge．The Internet is the marketplace of ideas：your company needs to share what you think．If you think just because you don’t sell a product online you don’t need a website，you’re dead ly wrong．No matter what kind of business you have，if you want to reach an audience，you want to have a website that speaks to people, Wix lets you do that as quickly and easily as possible for free．If you have a bigger budget，Wix has more options than just the free website design.

Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.One of the first considerations may be finance. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choicejust for financial reasons.Another major factor is location. Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake. Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college. Distance from home may also come into consideration. If family is a top priority, that person should stay close to home; on the other hand, if independence is desired, a campus farther from home would be more appropriate.School size also plays a major role in the decision process. If you want to get to know your teachers, a small college is suitable. For those of you who consider yourself a “ people person” and want a wide range of activities, a large college is more fitting. Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision-making process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.Crucially, one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match. Similarly, an average school for an above-average student would not work well. The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there, there probably will be one that is close. Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.28.When it comes to going to college the author thinks ________.A. financial situation is the first to considerB. students are unwilling to leave their homeC. students will become homesickD. students are eager to attend their ideal university29.What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A. Students can be independent at college.B. A long distance will make students upset.C. The location of the college is a main factor.D. The climate must be taken into consideration.30.What does the underlined part “people person” in the passage mean?A. A person of great capacity.B. A very particular person.C. A very sociable person.D. A person of great importance.31. What can we learn about an Ivy League school from the last paragraph?A.An Ivy League school is probably suitable for top students.B.An Ivy League school provides few challenge for the students.C.An Ivy League school is a perfect college for all students.D.An Ivy League school only accepts above-average students.DPeople in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver. Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida, Nevada and California. They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road. The high-tech company Google has a number of self-driving cars,which had covered 480,000 kilometers by August. Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020.In September, California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state. " Today we're looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow's reality-the driverless car. " The technology for these cars includes cameras, radar and motion sensors. The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U. S. government agency DARPA. Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races.Cars have become much more fuel-efficient, and new electronic features are' making Hondas safer, said Angie Nucci of Honda America. " A camera on the passenger-side mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes. " Other safety features include warning systems on the front and the sides of the cars. These systems help drivers , but don't replace them. Curator Leslie Kendall of the Petersen Automotive Museum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer．"By taking out drivers, you also remove most risks of an accident," Kendall said. He said consumers, however, may be unwilling to lose control. "It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable, but it will have to prove itself first. "Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands ofdollars to something more affordable. He said this will happen as the technology is improved.32.According to the passage, California Governor Jerry Brown .A. is for the idea of having driverless carsB. sponsored the DARPA competition to improve the driverless systemC. has already bought a new autonomous carD. thinks that driving safety is the most important issue in his state.33.What is the role of the systems mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. They can help cars run much faster.B. They can take the place of drivers now.C. They can make cars run without fuel.D. They can help people drive more safely.34.In kendall’s opinion, who probably don’t rely on the driverless cars at first?A. Managers in the high-tech company like googleB. Officers from the U.S government agency DARPAC. Car consumersD. Vehicle designers35. According to Richard Mason, what is the biggest challenge for driverless cars?A. They need to have more comfortable seats.B. They are now too expensive for consumers.C. They are travelling at a low speed.D. They are not favored by car racers..第二节（共五小题：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。

AYou probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams (1860-1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson (1907-1964)If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present)When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and ,in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the decidingvote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.Rosa Parks (1913-2005)On December 1,1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott.

I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room , a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, anddishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast.I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy, and it’s connected to their culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.5. What did the writer become aware of?A. She had ever typed a report about seeds.B. She had various snacks while watching TV.C. She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.D. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds.6. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year?A. The traditions of celebrating it disappear.B. Children can eat delicious food on thatday.C. The families get together for it.D. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.7. The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is ________.A. acceptableB. criticalC. neutralD. doubtful8. What lesson can we learn from the story?A. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone.B. Eating habits come from a certain culture.C. It is good to form healthy eating habits.D. Changing your eating habits will change your life.CThere is an old saying：“Don't judge a book by its cover.” It means that you shouldn't build your first impression of someone on his or her looks alone. But according to a new study，the famous saying might not be correct after all. A group of US scientists have found that the first impression we have of someone else is actually right most of the time.In the study, scientists asked participants to look at a photograph of a person and make a quick judgment about him or her. A month later, the participant and the person in the photowere introduced, and scientists were shocked to find that their judgments often match those that they had made originally.It's true that simply looking at someone won't provide you with as much information. But, according to scientists，when making a first impression, people rely more on their instincts(直觉) than on logic.“They focus on how that person makes them feel，” Paul Eastwick of the University of Texas told LiveScience.“It is very hard to get a sense of this information when simply viewing a profile(简介)．As soon as one sees another person, an impression is formed and what we see can sometimes dominate what we know.”Of course, no one can be right about everything and your instincts can go wrong sometimes. But even if it is proven to be wrong, once people form an opinion about someone, they have a hard time getting over that opinion later on.The findings help explain why people always tidy themselves up before meeting guests or doing job interviews.“Their face constantly reminds us of that first impression，”said Rule. People may learn more about another person over time once they get close to each other, but first impressions remain very important and seem difficult to forget.9. What did the US scientists of the University of Texas find out in their recent study?A. It's unwise to judge a book by its cover.B. It's better to judge by logic than by instincts.C.

AYou probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not ha ve heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams (1860-1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jan e Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first America n woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson (1907-1964)If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring rai sed awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful eff ects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oc eans.Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present)When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stan ford Law School, in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state se nator(参议员) and ,in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Co urt. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.Rosa Parks (1913-2005)On December 1,1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Mont gomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,”said Parks.1. What is Jane Addams noted for in history?A. Her social work.B.

I realized that whenever I’m watchi ng TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking su nflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one s mall seed.When we were young, the whole family would usually get tog ether for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one a nother, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every hou sehold was making.I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out i n the living room , a large table would already be laid out, com plete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our an cestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crac k sunflower seeds back then.I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, t hey put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matte r how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy, and it’s connected to their culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.5. What did the writer become aware of?A. She had ever typed a report about seeds.B. She had various snacks while watching TV.C. She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.D. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds.6. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Ye ar?A. The traditions of celebrating it disappear.B. Children can eat delicious food on that day.C. The families get together for it.D. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.7. The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is __ ______.A. acceptableB. criticalC. neutralD. doubtful8. What lesson can we learn from the story?A. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone.B. Eating habits come from a certain culture.C. It is good to form healthy eating habits.D. Changing your eating habits will change your life.CThere is an old saying：“Don't judge a book by its cover.” It means that you shouldn't build your first impression of someone on his or her looks alon e. But according to a new study，the famous saying might not be correct after all. A group of U S scientists have found that the first impression we have of so meone else is actually right most of the time.In the study, scientists asked participants to look at a photogr aph of a person and make a quick judgment about him or her.A month later, the participant and the person in the photo wer e introduced, and scientists were shocked to find that their judgments often match those that they had made originally.It's true that simply looking at someone won't provide you with as much information. But, according to scientists，when making a first impression, people rely more on their insti ncts(直觉) than on logic. “They focus on how that person makes the m feel，” Paul Eastwick of the University of Texas told LiveSc ience. “It is very hard to get a sense of this information when s imply viewing a profile(简介)．As soon as one sees another person, an impression is f ormed and what we see can sometimes dominate what we kn ow.”Of course, no one can be right about everything and your insti ncts can go wrong sometimes. But even if it is proven to be wr ong, once people form an opinion about someone, they have a hard time getting over that opinion later on.The findings help explain why people always tidy themselves up before meeting guests or doing job interviews.“Their face constantly reminds us of that first impression，” sa id Rule. People may learn more about another person over ti me once they get close to each other, but first impressions re main very important and seem difficult to forget.9. What did the US scientists of the University of Texas find out in their recent study?A. It's unwise to judge a book by its cover.B. It's better to judge by logic than by instincts.C. First impressions are right most of the time.D. Profiles provide more information than you have imagined.10.The underlined word “dominate” in Paragraph 3 is closest i n meaning to“__”．A. determineB．changeC. coverD．acquire11. We can conclude from the article that______.A. first impressions never go wrongB. it's difficult to change a first impressionC. it takes a long time to form a first impressionD. first impressions are easy to change after people know eac h other betterDKitchen waste refers to deserted or uneaten refuse produced by household kitchens.It is heavy in weight and can not easily be disposed(处理)of like other garbage due to dampness.

The more he talked about the opportunity, the more interested I became.I left class thinking I might actually do it.My immediate excitement gave in to excuses as the weeks passed. The trip would be expensive, I would have less time to spend with my family over winter break, and I hadn’t really traveled before. Most of all, I was terrified of taking the risk.On the day I made my decision, I suddenly felt as if I had finally opened my eyes and seen myself clearly. Why was I so scared to take this chance? I had moved away from home, almost graduated college and overcome plenty of small-scale fears. How could I let fear get in the way of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Besides, I had always dreamed of traveling the world and studying abroad was a major point on my bucket list(人生目标清单).So I took the challenge. I was scared yet excited on the plane, but my fears faded as soon as the wheels touched the runway. I soon found myself immersed(沉浸) in ancient, ornate(华丽的) mountain-top temples. I spent my days teaching poor orphans simple English, learned a little Khmer myself and became an expert at avo iding terrible traffic and bargaining with Cambodian store owners. By the end of my stay, I had fallen in love with travel, exploration and a life of daily wonders.My experience in Cambodia was incredible and life-changing. I came back a different person, but a better one: a better friend, sister, daughter, girlfriend and student. I came back a grown woman instead of a young girl.After Cambodia, my life clicked into place(步入正轨). Before the trip, I hadn’t known what I wanted to do after graduation. Now I am planning on teaching English abroad as a volunteer. I am still amazed by my experience and thankful for everything it taught me. I now have a passion for conquering(征服) fears, big or small, and have a renewed faith in myself.4.The author’s excitement to go to Cambodia faded(消退) mainly because _________.A. she could not afford the expensive tripB. she had no experience of traveling abroadC. she was scared of the risk she would be takingD. she preferred spending time with her family to traveling5.How did the author decide to go to Cambodia in the end?A. She had a heart-to-heart talk with her familyB. She thought about what might have made her scaredC. She went through every item she had put on her bucket listD. She realized the challenges and fears she had overcome before6.What did the author do in Cambodia?A. She taught KhmerB. She studied EnglishC. She helped local children with EnglishD. She studied traffic problems7.What did the author think of her stay in Cambodia?A. It was relaxing and refreshingB. It gave her a better idea of herselfC. It improved her communication skillsD. It led her to offer her help to volunteer servicesCLondon—A morning's train ride away, across the Channel(英吉利海峡), English kids talk about Liverpo ol's soccer team in a Paris pub. Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London. In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two great rival (竞争) cities, London and Paris, in " A Tale of Two Cities". These days, it might be A Tale of One City.Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor's broken French and respond in polite English. As jobs grew lack at home over recent years,perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down."For me, the difference is that London is real, alive," said Trevor Wheeler, a banker.Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. "I am French, but I'll stay in London," she said.There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. "I think people laugh more in Paris," she said.In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities, are beyond the old descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property (地产)."Both cities have changed beyond recognition." Said Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner. Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably."I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s and it is still a wonderful place," Collins said. "But if I had to choose, it would be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better."But certainly not cheaper. In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris. Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don't have to choose."I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is so structured," she said. "In London, you can be who you want. No one cares."8.The best title for this message is ____________________.A. Londoner andParisiansB. A Modern Tale of Two CitiesC. The Similarity of TwoCities D. Fancy London and Fashionable Paris9. We can infer from the passage that ______________.A. Paris and London has become perfect partnersB. London feels more full of lifeC. Life in Paris isstructuredD. Paris and London have become fierce competitors10. The underlined word "flocked " probably means __________________.A. came in largenumbersB. flew a long wayC. rushedhurriedlyD. drove long distances11. Living in Paris, you may find ________.A. life is betterB. things are cheaperC. more attractive peopleD. a job easilyDWrist(手腕) watches are regarded as a tool to tell the time. At first, watches were created as women's decorative bracelets (手镯). At the same time, men usedpocket watches. The first men's wrist watch was available in 1904. A pilot calledAlberto Santos-Dumont personally asked a watchmaker to create a wrist watch touse on flights. Soon after that, men's wrist watches were available on the market.Since then, watches have been considered fashionable accessories(配饰) for men,and watchmakers have started to make men's fashion watches.At present, watches are not indispensable to tell the time for most peoplehave cell phones which have watch functions. But a new market has been createdfor wrist watches, which are not only used to tell the time, but also as importantfashion statement pieces.Generally speaking, watches for formal occasions are beautifully made and morelike pieces of jewelry than watches. Men's watches for informal and semi-formalevents include simple, slim designs and large-and-thick-sized styles. Nowadays,men usually don't follow any specific style of dress for watches, and the luxurybrands of the expensive and strongly made sports watches have made them believethat they look more stylish because of their high prices. Some of the fashionwatches have a diamond and some others are completely decorated with preciousstones such as diamonds.Men's watches also have many advanced functions. For example, the dual-timewatches for travelers make them know the time in most other countries as well asthe time in their home if they are abroad.In a word, a men's watch is one of the few accessories for men's cupboard.Men can choose their most suitable watches to go with their personal taste.12.According to the first paragraph, the first men's wrist watch _________.A. was used by a pilot onflights B. was not onlya tool to tell the timeC. was viewed as a symbol offashion D. was created as a decorativebracelet13. What does the underlined word "indispensable" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. necessaryB. usefulC. dependableD. popular14. What can we learn from the passage?A. Men's pocket watches came after men's w rist watches.B. Those touring abroad will find a dual-time watch useful.C. Watches with advanced functions are always expensive.D. Men's watches for informal occasions appear like jewels.15.Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?A. The Brief History of Men'sWatches B. Advanced Functions of Men'sWatchesC. Men's Watches—Fashion Statement PiecesD. How to Choose aStylish Men's Watch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。

When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about whathappens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say “oh, you may have a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.41. How does the author understand Maxie’s words?A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D. Maxie really worries about the author’s security.42. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The salesgirl is rude.B. The salesgirl is bored.C. The salesgirl cares about me.D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine.43. By saying“Have a nice day,”a stranger may _____.A. try to be polite to youB. express respect to youC. give his blessing to youD. share his pleasure with you44. According to the last paragraph, people say“Have a nice day”_______.A. sincerelyB. as thanksC. as a habitD. encouragingly45. What is the best title of the passage?A. Have a Nice Day—a Social CustomB. Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant GestureC. Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming GreetingD. Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a ConversationBThe famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent his camera crew（摄制组）out one evening to film the sunset for him.The next morning he said to the man，“Have you provided me with thatsunset?”“No，sir.” the man answered.The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked.“Well，sir，”one of the men answered，“we’re on the east coast here，and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea，if necessary，but not a sunset.”“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport，take the next flight to the west coast，and get one.”But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph a sunrise，”she suggested，“and then play it backwards? Then it’ll look like a sunset.”“That’s a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said. “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay（海湾）.Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is，sir.” they said，and gave it to him. He was very pleased.They all went into the studio（摄影棚）.“All right.” the director explained，“now our hero and heroine are going to say good-bye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the ‘sunset’ behind them.”The “sunset” began，but after a quarter of a minute，the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.The birds in the film were flying backwards，and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.46.One evening，the director sent his camera crew out ____ .A. to watch a beautiful sunsetB. to find an actor and an actressC. to film a scene on the seaD. to meet the audience47.Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast?A. Because he changed his mind about getting a sunset.B. Because he was angry with his crew.C. Because it was his secr etary’s suggestion.D. Because he wanted to get a scene of sunset.48.Which of the following is NOT true?A. The crew had to follow the secretary’s advice.B. If you want to see a sunrise，the east coast is the place to go to.C. The camera crew wasn’t able to film the scene the first day.D. The director ordered his crew to stop filming the “sunset”.49.The director wanted to film a sunset over the ocean because ______.A. it went well with the separation of the hero and the heroineB. when they arrived at the beach it was already in the eveningC. it was more moving than a sunriseD. the ocean looked more beautiful at sunset50.After the “sunset” began，the director suddenly put his face in his hands ______ .A. because he was moved to tearsB. as he saw everything in the film moving backwardsC. as the sunrise did not look as beautiful as he had imaginedD. because he was disappointed with the performance of the hero and heroineCFive years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes---khaki pants and sports shirt---to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” of “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract n ew employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and m ore productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have towear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buya lot more ca sual clothes.”51. David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because _______.A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB. he couldn’t stand a clean appearanceC. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the timeD. he did n’t want to spend much money on clothes52. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because _______.A. they make him feel at ease when workingB. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC. he looks handsome in casual clothesD. he no longer works for any company53. According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?A. Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.B. Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.D. All the employers in the U. S. are for casual office wear.54. According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.C. “Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.55. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned inthe passage EXCEPT _______.A. saving employees’ moneyB. making employees more attractiveC. improving employees’ motivationD. making employees happier第二节：信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）（注意：选E 同时填涂AB;选F 则同时填涂CD ）首先阅读下列某实习编辑从一组读者来信中整理出来的关键备忘信息：Hobbies : reading, listening to music and watching birds Purpose : asking for spare copies of textbooks, teaching materials or journals A Hobbies : reading, singing and traveling Purpose : learning about ideas of teaching professionals in the world B Hobbies : role-playing, listening to music and collecting nice things Purpose : communicating with new friends among English teachers from the UK and the USA C Hobbies : reading and exchanging fancy gifts and ideas about local customs and conventions Purpose : exchanging ideas on teaching methods D Hobbies : listening to western pop music,exchanging gifts and collectingthingsPurpose : making friends with both fellowteachers and students of Englisharound the world EHobbies : swimming, cycling and raising cats and dogs Purpose : finding pen friends all over the world and communicating in English F以下信函为上面关键备忘信息的来源。

business.He is also a freshmanin the arts department of Hubei University.Luo Jingyu is from an ordinary family.He said，“My parents told me if I wanted somethingI should make an effort to get it，so I earned pocket money by doing housework when I was little.” The dream of running his own business grew in his heart.He said，“I want to bea successful person，like Alibaba's Ma Yun.”When Luo was a junior student，he had the idea of selling lanterns(灯笼)when he saw many people flying Chinese lanterns in a square.Luo bought some lanterns from a store，but the sales were not as good as he had expected.Then he found another way to do business.He bought lanterns on the Internet at a very low price.Finally he easily made 5，000 yuan in two days.With a happy beginning，Luo planned to open a dress shop.“My parents didn't support me opening a dress shop，so I had to borrow 120，000 yuan for it.” Although he did market research before starting，the business wasn't very good because his taste in fashion wasn't accepted by customers.The shop eventually closed down after half a year.After experiencing a big loss，he decided to do something he was familiar with—selling painting tools.As a fine arts student，he knew the market.He convinced his friends to invest one million yuan in his shop.With a good business mind and a lot of effort，the sales of the shop reached six million yuan in a year.Even though Luo is rich，he uses a cheap cell phone and does not wear luxury(奢华的)clothes.He has a simple lifestyle.“It isn't easy to make money，so money should be used on something worthwhile，” he said.21．We can learn from the second paragraph that Luo's parents ．A．asked him for money to pay the rentB．gave him some money to do businessC．advise him to pay more attention to his studiesD．suggested that he work hard to get something22．What is the right time order for the following events?a．Luo bought some lanterns from the store.b．Luo bought some lanterns on the Internet.c．Luo began selling painting tools.d．Luo opened a dress store.A．abcd B．abdc C．bacd D．cbad23．Why wasn't the dress shop successful?A．He had to prepare for his exam.B．The dresses he bought weren't of high quality.C．Customers didn't accept his taste in fashion.D．He didn't have enough money to buy beautiful dresses.BMost high school students would rather spend their summer vacations far away from the classroom.But Vineet Kosaraju and Nikhil Cheerla are choosing to go back to school，and this time they are the teachers.“I think it's really nice that I can help the munity by spending just a little bit of time every week helping just a few students here and there try and learn programming，”Kosaraju said.Friends since they were young boys，Kosaraju and Cheerla always shared a love of puter science.They learned the skills from their parents and school，but recognized that not all children have that chance.“Programming isn't taught in that many schools，especially low ine(收入)schools，because there isn't that much money to support it，”Kosaraju said.So he and Cheerla developed“Math and Coding，”an afterschool program for kids of all ages to learn the basics of puter programming.Between applying for (申请)college and doing their own homework，the two boys now spend a few hours every week going to different libraries teaching classes that cover everything from building basic games to developing apps.The friends started the program a little over a year ago and already，it's spread to more than a dozen libraries across the Bay Area in California.They are even training volunteers to teach these very same classes in other US states and Canada.Maryann Mitchell brought her 8yearold granddaughter，Gabriella，to a class on coding at the Alum Rock Library in San Jose，California.“It's a chance for her to learn，”Mitchell said.“It's the way of the future，and it's a good way for her to get grounded and be ready for what the future holds.”“I think the most rewarding thing is having people e up and thank you and say they really learned a lot from this class，”Cheerla said.“It doesn't get any better than that.”24．Why do the two boys return to the classroom during summer holidays?A．To improve their puter skills.B．To get some teaching experience.C．To raise money for local schools.D．To instruct kids in programming.25．What do we know about the program?A．It has a growing influence.B．It has been run for many years.C．It helps students apply for college.D．It trains teachers to work for libraries.26．How can the class benefit Gabriella?A．It helps her prepare for the future.B．It encourages her to visit libraries.C．It allows her to make more friends.D．It's a chance to learn about the future.27．What does the text mainly report?A．The great work of volunteers in the Bay Area.B．A library's important role in helping students.C．Two teens' free coding course for children.D．The close friendship between two students.CIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams，the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life，but manners on the road are being horrible.Everybody knows that the nicestmen would bee fierce tigers behind the wheel.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage，but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter altogether.Road politeness is not only good manners，but good sense too.It takes the most coolheaded drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the other hand，a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions.But such behaviours of politeness are by no means enough.Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it. However，misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.Typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oning cars that may be not able to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.An experienced driver，whose manners are faultless，told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.Unfortunately，modern drivers can't even learn to drive，let alone master the roadmanship.Years ago，experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more giveandtake from all road users.It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.28．According to the passage，troubles on the road are often caused by ．A．road conditions B．the speed of modern lifeC．the behaviour of the drivers D．the large number of cars29．In the writer's opinion，．A．drivers should avoid traffic jamsB．strict traffic rules are badly neededC．unskillful drivers should be punishedD．drivers should show road politeness properly30．The underlined word “giveandtake” in the 4th paragraph probably means ．A．politeness and impolitenessB．good manners and bad mannersC．offering help to others as much as possibleD．willingness of each person to give in to each other's wishes31．What is the best title of the passage?A．Road PolitenessB．Traffic ProblemsC．Bad Manners on the RoadD．Good Drivers and Bad DriversDI've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it. Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. "But the desk," she said again, "is for Elizabeth."I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl. I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was "too emotional (易动感情的)". But she lived "on the surface (表面)".As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace - it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.But the present of her desk told me, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside - a photo of my father and a one-paper letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter."In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words."32．The passage shows that_________.A．Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughterB．Mother was too serious about her daughter in wordsC．Mother wrote to her daughter in careful wordsD．Mother wrote to her daughter in careless words33．The underlined word "gulf" in the passage means_______.A．deep understanding between the old and the youngB．different ideas between mother and daughterC．free talks between mother and daughterD．part of the sea going far in land34．What did Mother do with her daughter's letter asking for forgiveness?A．She had never received the letter.B．For years, she often talked about the letter.C．She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D．She read the letter again and again till she died.35．What's best title of the passage?A．My letter to Mother B．Mother and childrenC．My Mother's Desk D．Talks between Mother and me七选五Three Apples changed the world. The first one seduced(诱惑)Eve. The second one awakened Newton.__36__Here are some famous words from Steve Jobs to share.On characterI'm the only person I know that's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year. _37__. On good designThat's been one of my mottos--focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than plex；You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there，you can move mountains.On his outlook__38__ Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful，that's what matters to me.On your working lifeYour work is going to fill a large part of your life，and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.__39__ If you haven't found it yet，keep looking. Don't settle.On the importance of deathNo one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there.__40__ No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be，because Death is very likely the single best invention of life. It is life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you，but someday not too long from now，you will gradually bee theold and be cleared away.A．It's very character-building.B．The third one was in the hands of Steve Jobs.C．This is not a one-man show.D．And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.E．And yet death is the destination we all share.F．It's really hard to design products by focus groups.G．Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me.三．完形填空In December xx, my parents asked me what I wanted for Christmas. At that point, for the first time, I realized how 41 I was to have been born in such a fortunate family. There was nothing that I could 42 because there was nothing more that I needed. I was truly 43 . This made me 44 all the children who did not have homes or food, let alone 45 for Christmas. With these 46 in my mind, I told my parents in January that 47 getting me an expensive gift for the holidays, I’d love to use the 48 to get lots of small gifts for all the chi ldren that hadn’t gotten anything for Christmas. At first, they were 49 . Then they realized I was 50 and agreed to spend $300 on gifts for young kids from the families 51 at the homeless shelter. It was such a nice 52 . I remember going to the homeless shelter to 53 the toys to as many kids as I could give. One of the children looked at me with his innocent eyes. I could see the 54 in them. It was obvious that he had never 55 a Christmas gift before, so when he asked me where I got the gifts from, I told him what I knew he wanted me to say: that I was helping Santa Claus (圣诞老人). I explained that Santa was sorry that he was so 56 , but that gift had been made 57 for him! The boy took the gift slowly, smiled and ran to his mother. The last thing I 58 as I moved on to give a gift to the next child was the boy’s voice: “Mommy, Santa really does 59 ! And he didn’t 60 us this year!”41. A. painful B. sad C. annoying D. lucky42.

With environmental protection awareness in mind，we can do what we can，for the results are to have a big effect on the planet.As long a s we do our part，the world is one small step closer to being saved.9.In the first paragraph the author uses “steel monsters” to de scribe_____ .A．big factoriesB．high mountainsC． huge buildingsD．characters in fairy stories10.From the fifth paragraph，we can know that ______. A． protecting the environment begins with small thingsB． protecting the environment should start from childhood C． wonderful life comes from environmental protection D． protecting the environment benefits the country and the p eople11.The passage is mainly about_______ .A． the use of garbage dustbinsB． how to save water and el ectricityC．our current environmental problemsD． how to save the e nvironmentDThe largest earthquake ( magnitude里氏9. 5) of the 20th century happened on May 22, 1960 off the co ast of South Central Chile.It generated(生成) one of the most destructive(毁坏性的) Pacific-wide tsunamis. Near the generating area, both the earthquake and the tsunami were very much destructive, particularly in th e coastal area from Concepcion to the south end of Isla Chilo e. The largest tsunami damage occurred at Isla Chiloe—the coastal area closest to the epicenter(震中). Huge tsunami waves measuring as high as 25 meters arri ved within 10 to 15 minutes after the earthquake, killing at least two hundred people, sinking all the boats, and flooding half a kilometer inland.There was large damage and loss of life at Concepcion, Chile' s top industrial city. Near the city of Valdivia, the earthquake a nd following aftershocks generated landslides which killed 18 people. At the port city of Valparaiso, a city of 200,000, many buildings collapsed. A total of 130,000 houses were destroyed —one in every three in the earthquake zone and nearly 2,000,0 00 people were left homeless.Total damage losses, including to agriculture and to industry, were estimated(估计) to be over a half billion dollars. The total number of death r elated with both the tsunami and the earthquake was never fo und accurately for the region. Estimates of deaths reached be tween 4,900 to 57,002 with no distinction as to how many dea ths werecaused by the earthquake and how many were cause d by the tsunami. However, it is believed that most of the deat hs in Chile were caused by the tsunami.12. Where did the largest tsunami damage occur? A．Concepcion. B．Valdivia. C．Isla Chiloe.

First your time f or eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. 17 A weekly schedule may not solve all yo ur problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or a corne r of your room, free of everything but study materials. No gam es, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentr ate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class. 18 Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you reme mber what the teacher says.Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over you r notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 19 If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, a nd you’ll remember it longer.Develop a good attitude towards tests.

AWould you stop if you saw a 6-year-old girl alone in a public place?A social experiment conducted by UNICEF shows how differently people reacted — depending on the girl’s appearance.The video posted to YouTube on Tuesday features a 6-year-old child actor named Anano. When Anano was dressed in a nice dress and coat, people stopped to ask if she was lost, tried to comfort her and made phone calls on her behalf.Then makeup artists covered her face with soot and dressed her in dirty sweats and a knit cap. The video shows people walking right past her without a second glance.UNICEF then repeated the experiment inside a restaurant. When Anono was clean and dressed nicely, diners welcomed her at their tables. Strangers smiled at her, patted her arm and even rubbed her cheeks.When she returned to the restaurant in the dirty sweats and knit cap, people clutched their purses and bags when she passed by. One man signaled to an employee and asked, “Can you take her out please?”The video shows Anano running out of the restaurant in tears.“We stopped the experiment because Anano became too upset,” UNICEF said.“They were all telling me to go away,” UNICEF quoted the little girl as saying.“Every day, millions of children living in poverty are ignored, pushed aside and deprived(剥夺) of everything they need to grow up,” UNICEF stated on YouTube. “It doesn’t need to be this way. Our 2016 State of the World’s Children Report is a call to action for the world to treat its least fortunate children the way it treats its luckier children.”21. From the video we know that the little girl’s _________ change how strangers treat her.A. wordsB. behaviorC. mannersD. clothes22. Why was the experiment stopped half way?A. Because too many people stopped to ask if the little girl was lost.B. Because her dirty sweaters and cap needed to be washed.C. Because people were cold to the little girl and she was very sad.D. Because no one ever paid attention to her and bought her a hot drink.23. What is the purpose of UNICEF’s 2016 State of the World’s Children Report?A. To persuade the rich people to donate money for the poor children.B. To blame people who show no mercy to others.C. To ask the clothes factories to make more beautiful clothes for children.D. To call on people to treat the worst-off children equally.BMany people believe that the only way to make our communities safer is to build more prisons. But there’s a way to better protect cities and towns by doing just the opposite.In many countries throughout the world, prison populations have risen suddenly over the past decade. One of the main reasons for this is the large number of repeat offenders; that is people who break the law again once freed from jail. Statistics show that about one in four prisoners freed every year return to jail within three years.This is partly because ex-prisoners face huge difficulty finding employment. More than a third of them cannot find any job at all. Data show that having a job greatly reduces the chances that a person will commit a crime again or commit one in the first place. Released prisoners who do manage to find steady employment are 50 percent less likely to return to prison. Rather than harming a community, having a job helps ex-prisoners to change their ways and make a positive and productive contribution to their communities.What’s more, hel ping these men and women find jobs would also save taxpayers a lot of money. Few prisoners would save governments millions or possibly even billions of dollars annually: the costs of building and operating jails.There are many things that the government can do to help ex-prisoners find work. More job training programs should be introduced to provide prisoners with work skills before they are freed. Companies and factories should also be given tax benefits if they employ ex-prisoners. Such programs have been shown to work in several countries.Such policies of course assure that freed criminals actually want to work. But shouldn’t they be given the chance? Our goal, after all, shouldn’t be to incarcerate as many prisoners as possible, but to build a society that doesn’t need to put such a large percentage of its population in jail. We should take a step in that direction and help prisoners find self-respect and purpose through work.24. What percentage of freed prisoners returns to prison within three years?A. 65%B. 50%C. 33%D. 25%25. Which of the following best describes the content of the fifth paragraph?A. FactsB. ArgumentsC. RecommendationsD. Requirements26. What does the underlined word “incarcerate” in the last paragraph?A. set freeB. lock upC. employD. separate27. Which of the following would be author agree with?A. Tougher punishment will reduce crimeB. Most prisoners do not deserve to be in prisonC. Economic conditions are a major cause of crimeD. Prison populations are likely to increase in the futureCDid you hear what happened at yesterday’s meeting? Can you believe it? If you find those sorts of quietly whispered questions about your co-workers irresistible(无法抗拒的), you’re hardly alone. But why are we drawn to gossip?A new study suggests it’s because the rumors are all about us. “Gossip receivers tend to use positive and negative group information to improve, promote, and protect the self,” writes a research team, led by Elena Martinescu of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. In the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, the researchers described two experiments testing the personal value gossip receivers get.The first featured 178 university undergraduates, who had all previously worked on at least one course assignment with a group of four or more students. Participants were asked to recall and write a short description of an incident, in which a group member shared with them either positive or negative information about another group member’s secret. They then reported their level of agreement with a series of statements. Some of these measured the self-improvement value of the gossip(“The information received made me think I can learn a lot from X”); others measured its self-promotion value(“The information I received made me feel that I am doing well compared to X”). Still others measured whether the gossip raised personal concerns(“The information I received made me feel that I must protect my image in the group”).In the second experiment, 122 undergraduates were assigned the role of “sales agent” at a major company. They received gossip from a colleague that a third person either did very well or very badly at a performance evaluation, and were then asked about the emotions that information caused. They also responded to the above-mentioned set of statements presented to the participantsin the first experiment.In each experiment, participants found both negative and positive gossip to be of personal value with different reasons. “Positive gossip has self-improvement value,”they write. “Competence-related positive gossip about others contains lessons about how to improve one’s own competence(能力). On the other hand, negative gossip has self-promotion value, because it provides individuals with social comparison information that proves self-promoting judgments which results in feelings of pride.” "Contrary to common ideas," the researchers think, "most negative gossip is not intended to hurt the target, but to please the gossiper and receiver."In addition, the results “showed that negative gossip brought about self-protection concerns,” the researchers write. “Negative gossip makes people concerned that their fames may be at risk, as they may personally become targets of negative gossip in the future, which produces fear.” Fear is hardly a pleasant sensation(感觉), but it can be a motivating one. As researchers put it: “Gossip conveniently provides individuals with indirect social-comparison information about relevant(相关的) others.”28. Why are we drawn to gossip according to the researchers?A. We need evaluative information about others to evaluate ourselves.B. We are interested in the news that arouses our personal concerns.C. We tend to gain a sense of pride from judging others.D. We are likely to learn lessons from others’ mistakes.29. According to the first experiment, which of the following shows self-promotion value?A. I’ve done better than Mary according to what Tom said about her.B. I should behave myself in case of being gossiped about like Mary.C. I have to learn from Mary according to what Tom said about her.D. I have no comments on what Tom said about Mary.30. What’s the key difference of the second experiment compared with the first one?A. The identities of the participants.B. The number of the participants studied.C. The time during which the experiment lasted.D. The role-play technique used in the experiment.31. What role does “negative gossip” play according to the researchers?A. A fear killer.B. A motivator.C. A protector.D. A subject provider.D“Beating is a sign of affection，cursing (骂)is a sign of love.”Many may not expect to hear the words of the old Chinese saying in these modern times—with parents wealthier and better educated than they have ever been—but experts say they still ring true.Today，it seems，Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to precollege military(军事的) academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success.“Good education doesn't mean letting your children enjoy privileges(特权)，especially our boys.”said Song Wenming，an entrepreneur (企业家)in Jinhua，East China's Zhejiang province. “They should be raised in tough conditions to know what to figh t for in the future.”In August，Song sent his 17yearold son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania. And he is far from alone，even though it takes a lot of money—around $48,000 per year—to send a child to a strict military school.Statistics show that an increasing number of Chinese students have been entering such academies.A few years ago，there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge. Today，there are 28.“All of the Chinese students at Valley Forge came from wealthy families；some of the m were spoiled.” said Jennifer Myers，director of marketing and communications at the school.Song's only son，Song Siyu，had a rocky start during his first six weeks at the school. The teenager said he went to the school willingly but did not expect it to be as difficult.Now，three months later，he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35 seconds，finishing a meal without looking at his food，and making his bed with precision. He can even take criticism，no matter how unreasonable.“The training is hard but I know it is good for selfdevelopment of individuals.” said Song Siyu. “The endless training and scolding are just ways to build up our character；they are not personal.”But his enthusiasm is not universal. Ten of the 13 Chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools.But for those who stick with it，there is a reward for all the hard work.32．From the second paragraph，we can know the old Chinese saying _____________ .A．is out of date in modern times B．is disagreed by rich parentsC．is still worth trusting D．is deeply believed by better educated parents 33．The underlined sentence means that _____________.A．Song sent his only son to military school，so he feels lonelyB．Song is the only one who sends his child to military schoolC．there are other people sending their children to military school besides SongD．the fee of the military school is so high that only Song can afford it34．How many Chinese students are there at Valley Forge before this year?A．10. B. 13. C．15. D．25.35．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A．It's likely that more and more Chinese students will attend VFMA.B．Most Chinese parents approve of educating their children by beating and cursing nowadays.C．Song Siyu had no difficulty in adjusting to the life at VFMA.D．Most Chinese students support the way of education at VFMA.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。
