AI had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs and toast. Others had cokes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different than the other kids’. But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a backgroun d, I’m now trying to bring up my three children. I’m filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.1.

Which of the following things did the writer hate to do most?A. Eating differently from other kids.B. Wearing clean clothes made by motherC. Going to bed early and getting up earlyD.

They use credit cards in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in different places, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the horizon----it’s already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers(记录器) can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.Many other companies, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas station to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.6. According to the passage, the credit card makes its owner to _______________ .A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishesB. obtain more convenient services than other people doC. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeperD. cash money where he wishes to7. From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that ______________.A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cardsB. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cashC. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than beforeD. credit cards are mainly used in the United States today8. The phrase “ring up sales” most probably means _______________.A. make an order of goodsB. record sales on a cash registerC. call the sales managerD. keep track of the goods in stock9. What is this passage mainly about?A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers.B. Conveniences brought about by computers in business.C. Significance of automation in commercial companies.D. Advantage of credit cards in business.10. It can be inferred that ________________.A. computers will bring disasterB. computer industry will not develop fasterC. computers will bring about more convenience to people’s lifeD. computers can only used in banksCDesigned specifically for kids that live online, Discovery announced a new fun and interactive homework tool that uses the power of broadband and media to help achieve academic breakthroughs at home.

武邑中学2014-2015高三一轮复习单元检测题34第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）AIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become 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.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed 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 behaviors 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 examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.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 driv ers 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 give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.21. The passage mainly talks about .A. road politenessB. traffic jamsC. good mannersD. modern drivers22. According to the writer, a good driver should .A. beat back when forced to face rude drivingB. be able to recognize politeness when he sees itC. encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want toD. join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel23. The following statements are right EXCEPT that .A. some modern drivers are not good at drivingB. road politeness is good sense as well as good mannersC. it is also right to have a tiger in the driver’s seatD. a friendly driver should nod or wave thanks in answer to an act of politeness24. It is not always right for drivers to .A. master roadmanshipB. recognize politeness when they see itC. give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politenessD. wave a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the pathBUK education is all about giving you inspiration to develop your knowledge and skills, freedom to be creative, and support to help you achieve your best.On a UK course you will benefit from excellent teaching and facilities. In order to accept students, UK education centres must meet strict quality standards set by the UK government and education bodies.With such a good reputation for research and education, universities and colleges in the UK attract some of the world’s leading academics and professionals. You will be encouraged to express your own ideas and think for yourself.The attention to quality is reflected in the UK’s excellent results:Four of the top six universities in the world are in the UK.The UK is a world-leading research nation. 54% of the research conducted by UK universities and colleges is classed as either “wor ld-leading” or “internationally excellent”.At the most recent inspection, 97% of further education colleges were judged satisfactory or better, for their overall effectiveness.In the recent BIS Tracking International Graduate Outcomes survey, more than 88% of international higher education graduates said they were satisfied with their UK learning experience.Likewise, in the Higher Education Academy Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey of UK postgraduate students, 93% rated the quality of teaching positively.For English language students, you’ll find the UK has long been at the forefront of language teaching, and pioneered many of the techniques now used around the world. The emphasis is on learning the language through fun and participation. Instead of just listening to your teacher, your classes will involve games, problem-solving and discussions. You might also listen to songs, watch television or read magazines to practise your comprehension skills.The UK’s boarding schools also offer excellent teach ing, facilities and support. At UK independent schools (most boarding schools are independent), a teacher has just 9.4 pupils on average, so teachers have more time to give you individual support. This is reflected in the results: 91% of students from UK independent schools go on to higher education.25. What do the education centres do to accept students?A. To develop knowledge and skills.B. To help achieve your best.C. To meet strict quality standards.D. To benefit from excellent teaching.26. How many foreign students are said to be satisfied with their learning in the UK?A.

By playing and discussing.28. What’s the purpose of the author to write this passage?A. To attract foreign students.B. To make their students love the UK.C. To introduce the education in the UK.D.

They are all inspiring stories that make a difference.C. The main characters all won Academy Award for best actor.D. The main characters are sick to some degree but succeed.DFor many of us, a little time with our smartphones or iPads before sleep is the highlight of the night. But would you still think it is relaxing if you knew that it damages or destroys your sleep? Scientists say that’s exactly what it does.In ancient times, when there were no lamps, telephones or smartphones, the sun was the main source of light. When the sun went down, our brains took that as a signal to start producing melatonin(褪黑素), a chemical that helps us sleep.However, a healthy amount of melatonin can only be produced in complete darkness. Any light in your bedroom — even the one on the alarm clock or the charging indicator on your cellphone — could disturb the process, not to mention something as bright as smartphone and iPad screens. We tend to hold these much closer than a television or a laptop, which allows them to shoot far more light straight into our eyes.“This is particularly worrisome in populations such as young adults and adolescents, who already tend to be night owls,” said researcher Bri ttany Wood at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. “Lack of sleep among teens is leading to depression, selfharm, low concentration and poor performance at school,” she added.While all lights are the enemy of sleep, not all colors of light have the same effect. Our eyes are particularly sensitive to blue light, which is common during the day. Most of the light coming from electronic screens is blue light and it fools our brain into thinking it’s still daytime. By contrast, orange or red light has less influe nce on melatonin production, because our brains recognize it as a signal that the day is ending, according to The Telegraph.Asking yourself to keep your hands off your smartphone before bedtime might seem unreasonable, but you should at least remember to dim the screen or hold it farther awayfrom your eyes. You could also wear a pair of orange sunglasses that take away the harmful blue light.33. According to the passage, we can know ________.A. it’s a good habit to play with smartphones or iPads late in to nightB. scientists suggest we should avoid using smartphones or iPadsC. darkness makes a great impact on the amount of melatoninD. the sun was the only source of light in ancient times34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The darker it is, the more melatonin will be produced.B. The lighter it is, the more melatonin will be produced.C. The more melatonin you have, the worse you’ll sleep.D. The more electrical equipment you have, the more melatonin will be produced.35. In the writer’s opinion, which is a correct suggestion?A. You should go to bed when the sun goes down.B. You should use an orange or red light electronic screen.C. You should wear a pair of blue sunglasses when sleeping.D. You should avoid blue light as possible as you can before bedtime.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）Identity theft (身份盗用) is one of the fastest-growing crimes. Identity theft is a crime in which your personal information is stolen by someone and is used in an illegal way. When your identity is stolen, the thief often does fraud (诈骗) with that. He may get a credit card in your name and spend it carelessly without paying the bills; 36 And you have to be responsible for the traffic accidents he causes…Why is identity theft becoming so common? 37 . And the wealth of personal details people post on social networks such as Facebook also makes it easier for identity thieves to obtain personal information.Many people are not aware of the problems caused by this crime. They wake up from their carefree attitude only when they become a victim and suffer the damages caused by this crime.38 And this is why it is important that every person should become cautious when using the Internet. The following tips may prevent you from identity theft.First, make sure your computer has an updated anti-virus and firewall system installed. Second, only enter your credit card details on secure sites, or websites that you’ve used before. Third, 39 . Your date of birth, names of schools attended, phone number or the names of your parents are often required to verify (证明) an identity, and thieves can use this information too. Fourth, avoid sharing files as this gives other people access to your hard drive. Fifth, never open suspicious e-mails from unknown source. Last but not least, create complex passwords using a combination of numbers and keyboard symbols. 40 . A. The popularity of the Internet and computers provides a gateway（出入口）for the identitytheft.B. Avoid giving away too much personal information on social networking sites.C. There is one solution to the problem.D. He may get a driver’s license in your name.E. And change your passwords on a regular basis.F. There is no cure for identity theft except prevention.G.

When an Egg breaks from inside, a life begins.All life’s circumstances can be seen in an egg where in the soft yolk (蛋黄) inside is our 41 and the hard shell outside is the barrier. When the barrier breaks from outside, our desire is crushed, but when it breaks from inside, we 42 a new skill, a new habit and a new life.I was 22 years old. I did not 43 where the kitchen was in my house, since I had44 gone into the kitchen before. All of a sudden, I had to move to America to pursue my master’s degree. That is when it 45 to me that I had to learn to cook a proper meal in order to 46 . My desire to cook began to 47 , and the yolk began to stir.The first time I made 48 , it came out like white glue. Within a month of experimenting with different recipes, I 49 the art of making Chinese fried rice and north Indian curry(咖喱饭). This breaking of the eggshell from 50 gave me yet another skill for life, 51 . Now when I look back, I think that maybe my wife agreed to marry me for this 52 alone.It is easy to break an egg from outside, but it is 53 to break it from inside. What is even more difficult is to 54 you from outside and break the egg from inside. That is where the role of a teacher, a mentor(导师) or a coach comes in.As a father, I took it as my responsibility to 55 my son cycling and swimming. In this case, the yolk was the untapped(未开发的) potential of my son and the barrier was his fear of losing 56 . It took months of patience and coaching to help him 57 his fear. It was an uphill(艰苦的，费力的) task to keep him motivated through failures. 58 , I was glad and relieved when he learned both these essential skills.The important lesson here is that the egg will be 59 whichever side. Success, when the egg breaks from inside, is more about what you overcome than what you achieve.Life always throws up 60 . I urge you all learn the instrument that you always wanted to play but have not played so far. As the saying goes, there is never a lock without a key, never a problem without a solution. Persist, believe in yourself and allow your yolk to break through to a new soul, a new you.41. A. concern B. desire C. weakness D. resource42. A. lose B. change C. learn D. expect43.

That was enough to make him important, but the father loved him especially, because he knew his son was going to be an artist. Pablo knew the word for pencil even before he could see Mamma and Papa. When he was small, he spent hours by himself making delightful little drawings of animals and people. If his mother sent him out to play in the square, he went on drawing in the dust under the trees.Don Jose Ruiz, Pablo’s father, was director of the museum in southern Spain. He earned only a small salary, but there was not much work to do and he was able to practice his hobby, which was painting pigeons. Don loved pigeons very much. He painted them dead or alive in ones and twos and in dozens. Sometimes he painted them on paper, cut them out and stuck them onto canvas (画布); sometimes he stuck real feathers onto his pictures. He knew a great deal about the technique of painting and he taught it all to Pablo.Life in Malaga was very pleasant. In the hot sunshine father and son would walk down to the beach to look at the boats on the shore or wander around the open markets. They made a strange pair. Don was tall and thin, with red hair and beard, sad gray eyes and a fine set of whiskers (腮须). He was so shy and correct that he was nicknamed “the Englishman”. Pablo was quite the opposite. He had his mother’s small, strong build (体格); he had straight black hair, and bright black eyes that noticed everything that was going on around him.1. Pi casso’s father loved him especially, because .A. he was the only boy in the familyB. he was going to be an important person to his familyC. he showed the gift of an artist in his early childhoodD. he looked like his mother2. Pablo’s father painted a lot because .A. he didn’t have enough moneyB. he had plenty of timeC. he liked the pigeons, especially the dead onesD. he looked after the museum3. Don J ose Ruiz and Pablo were a strange pair beca use .A. they liked to wander about the townB. they noticed everything that was going on around themC. one was tall and thin, the other was small and strongD. they looked so different from each other4. The best title of the passage might be .A. Pablo Picasso: the great artistB. The Boyhood of Pablo PicassoC. Father of A Great ArtistD. Father’s Influence (影响) on His SonBHow many teeth have you had filled in the past two years? If you follow the advice of Dr. Fustic, you may be able to reduce the number of your visits to a dentist. Dr. Fustic made a two-year survey to find out how to prevent or reduce dental decay(龋齿),946 students took part in the experiment.523 students cleaned their teeth within ten minutes' eating. When possible, they used the toothbrush. When it was possible, they washed their mouths thoroughly with water. The remaining 423 students nearly cleaned their teeth when they went to bed and when they got up in the morning. All of the students had their teeth X-rayed at the end of the first and second years. At the end of the first year, the night and morning group had three times as many decayed teeth as the "cleaned after each meal" group. At the end of the second year, the latter group had 63% fewer decayed teeth than the former group.Dr.Fustic has cleaned his teeth after every meal for 13 years, and has not had a single decayed tooth. He pointed out that sugar is a major agent(因素) in dental decay, particularly the sugar in sweets, cakes and soft drinks. Ideally you should keep a toothbrush in your pocket and use it immediately after you have finished eating. When this is impractical, you can at least make sure that you have a drink of water and let the water through your teeth to force out any particles of food. Seven out of ten people lose at least half their teeth by the time they are fifty. Many have a complete set of false teeth by that time. In any case, neither toothache nor the visit to the dentist is very pleasant. So it is worthwhile making an effort to keep your own teeth as long as possible. The main preventive (预防的) agent is simply water.5. According to the passage, what type of food or drink is most likely to cause dental decay?A. Coca Cola.B. Milk.C. Meat.D. Fried chicken.6. What does the passage tell us about the condition of Dr. Fustic's teeth?A. He has had thirteen decayed teeth.B. He doesn't have a single decayed tooth.C. He has fewer decayed teeth than other people of his age.D. He never had a single tooth pulled out before he was fifty.7. What does Dr. Fustic suggest to prevent dental decay?A. Brush your teeth right before you go to bed in the evening.B. Have as few of your teeth pulled out as possible.C. Have your teeth X-rayed at regular time.D. Clean your teeth shortly after eating.8. According to the passage, which of the following is True?A. Fewer people lose their teeth by the time they are fifty.B. The night and morning group has fewer decayed teeth than the “cleaned after each meal” group.C. Water is the main preventive agent in teeth protection.D. Students don't like to have the teeth experiment.CWould you like to know if your body is older or younger than it should be? Dr. David Wikenheiser has been studying aging in Vancouver, Canada, for the past 10 years and hasfound the average person is 15 or more years older biologically than their actual age.He says: “We all know people who are 30 but look over 40, and others who are 70 yet look 50, the difference comes down to lifest yle. Some peoples’ bodies get ‘rusty(生锈)’faster than others, and this makes them age more quickly.”After conducting more than 3,000 tests, Dr. Wikenheiser believes that, on average, you can ower your biological age by 10 years in three months with the right lifestyle changes.“You can’t change your genetics(遗传学) but you can make other changes such as eating the right food, drinking enough water to flush out toxins(毒素), exercising and managing stress,” he says. But exercising too much is just as bad as not doing enough. Working out for more than two hours at a time every day puts too great a strain on your heart.“Multivitamin and antioxidant supplements are important even if you’re eating the right amount of fruit and vegetables. Today’s soil tends to lack important minerals so these are no longer found in the food we eat, in large enough quantities. We should also change bleached(漂白) white table salt for natural sea salt which is much better for us.” It’s also important to eat three meals a day. Missed meals put a strain on your brain as your blood sugar level drops. Many of us are also eating the wrong fats or avoiding fat altogether, so we miss out important nutritional oils.9．The passage is mainly about .A．how to lower your biological age B．how to live a healthier lifeC．how to keep young D．how to select a good diet10．From the passage we can conclude that the most important factor in slowing your aging process is .A．exercise B．diet C．lifestyle D．genetics 11．What’s t he author’s suggestion on how we get proper minerals?A．We should exercise at least two hours a day instead of three hours.B．We should avoid fat of any kind by not eating meat or animals.C．We should have no more Multivitamin and antioxidant supplements.D．We should have natural sea salt instead of bleached white table salt. 12．Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?A．The actual age looks more important than biological age.B．People can change their genetics by enough exercising.C．The present soil is short of important minerals.D．A strain and blood sugar have a bad effect on bodies.DMaps and statistics can tell us a lot about where a country is headed. Take the US Census Bureau's latest findings on American cities. They show that for the first time since 1900, Detroit is not on the list of the Top 10 most populous US cities. In its place is San Jose, California.Detroit has been the long-time centre of the US auto industry, but in the past few years the "Big Three" US automakers － General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler － have closed plants and laid off workers. With the factory closings and huge job losses, Detroit cannot collectenough tax revenue to pay its bills, forcing it to close schools and lay off city workers. Cutbacks then cause others to flee the city."It's part of a pattern for the heavily industrialized cities," says Dana Johnson, an economist in Detroit. "There's been an ongoing dynamic (变化) here of people fleeing the city looking for better schools, better lifestyles, better services."Detroit is hardly alone. After World War II, the US was the world's leading manufacturer. Cars, televisions, toys, and clothing made in America were exported around the world. As a result, the well-paid factory workers formed the backbone of a rising middle class. In the last three decades, the US economy has changed. Companies have moved factories overseas to take advantage of lower wages in Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe.Where are people who leave the northeast and midwest going? They are moving south and west, another broad trend. In general, people are moving to where it's warmer, less expensive and less crowded, or where jobs are more plentiful in growing service industries like health care, in the technology sector, or in factories that moved from the northeast or midwest.In a sense, the computer chips of San Jose, the new 10th largest city, in the heart of what is known as Silicon Valley, have replaced the sheet metal and molten steel of Detroit as the symbol of American economic power.13．The main difficulty that Detroit is now facing is _____.A．the factory closings and huge job lossesB．many people’s moving to the south and westC．the poor quality of the automobileD．the lack of the computer chips14．Which of the following isn’t the trend of the change?A．The decline of the manufacturing economy.B．Companies’ moving overseas.C．The end of the US cities’ development.D．The migration of Americans to the south and west.15．Which statement is not correct according to the passage?A．Detroit has been on the list of the Top 10 most populous US cities for over a century.B．People immigrate south and west to take advantage of lower wages there.C．The US was an important exporting country in the middle of the last century.D．The US economy now is not as prosperous as 30 years ago.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。

武邑中学2014-2015高三一轮复习单元检测题二第二部分：阅读理解（共小题，每小题2分，满分 40 分）AYou need to be of a certain age to understand why so many people in Hollywood are caring about the possible closing down of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (米高梅电影公司)．For the past 40 years, its output has been good, but now it is on the ropes, with debts of $ 3.7 billion and will have to sell off its most valuable assets (资产).In its golden time, MGM stood for something．If Warner Brothers meant social dramas and gangster movies, and Disney meant cartoon films, then MGM was healthy fantasy．This business model found its most glorious expression in its musicals (音乐剧) of the post-war era．It also featured such many famous stars as Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly and Judy Garland.But MGM had always put its hopes on the quality of stars it could attract．From the time MGM became a company in 1924, the studio and his associate proved themselves good at creating big names.For 35 years, this worked well enough, but the growing power of television disturbed Hollywood．MGM continued to throw money into making gorgeous-looking musicals, but despite some big successes audiences gradually started to drift away．Throughout the sixties, MGM's decline set in．Things went from bad to worse．In 1973, MGM stopped distributing its own films．Since then, the Lion's roar has been reduced to a whimper (呜咽).How far MGM has fallen can be shown by its recent releases．This was a studio that for years offered a reliable supply of first-class films．Yet last year its total output was three．To make it worse, all were co-produced with other studios．And this year? Only one so far, and maybe the last.What now? MGM will probably be sold, though recent buyers have been cautious about a price thought to be around $ 2 billion.1. MGM is becoming the focus in Hollywood because it _______．A. has more supportersB. has produced good filmsC. might be closed downD. has lost all its assets2. What can we learn about MGM from the text?A. It has been sold out for around $ 2 billion.B. The Internet was a factor causing its decline.C. It only produced three films by itself last year.D. It made a wrong decision for its development.3. What's the main idea of the text?A. The past glories of MGM．B. The musicals made by MGM.C. The decline of MGM．D. A historical decision by MGM.BWe have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told themthat their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests' coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.I thought to myself that we adults（成年人）usually make a big "to do" over the younger one because she's the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying.I said, "What are you doing, my dear?"She turned to me with a sad expression and said, "Mommy, why don't people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I 'm not pretty? Is that why they don't say nice things about me as much?"I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.Now, whenever I visit a friend's home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.4. The underlined expression ' make a big "to do" over' (paragraph 4) means ______.A. show much concern aboutB. have a special effect onC. list jobs to be done forD. do good things for5. Kristen felt sad and cried because ______.A. the guest gave her more coats to carryB. she didn't look as pretty as KellyC. the guests praised her sister more than herD. her mother didn't introduce her to the guests6. We can conclude from the passage that ______.A. parents should pay more attention to the elder childrenB. the younger children are usually more easily hurtC. people usually like the younger children moreD. adults should treat children equally7. Which of the following statements is right?A. Kristen and Kelly are not getting along with each other.B. Kristen is older than Kelly.C. The mother likes Kristen more than Kelly.D. People usually talk more to Kelly than they do to Kristen.CPeople being tested for radiation exposureThe crisis at the damaged Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Power Station in northern Japanhas raised worries about radiation risks. We spoke Tuesday with Jonathan Links, an expert in radiation health sciences. He is a professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Maryland.Professor Links says workers within the nuclear plant are the only people at risk of extremely high doses of radiation.JONATHAN LINKS: "Of course, we don't know what doses they've received, but the only persons at risk of acute radiation effects are the workers."For other people, he says, there may be a long-term worry. People can get cancer from low doses of ionizing radiation, the kind released in a nuclear accident.Professor Links says scientists can use computers to quickly model where radioactive material has blown and settled. Then they measure how large an area is contaminated. He says if the situation is serious enough, officials could take steps like telling people not to eat locally grown food or drink the water.JONATHAN LINKS: "But that would only be the case if there was a significant release and, because of wind direction, the radioactive material was blown over the area, and then settled out of the air into and onto water, plants, fruits and vegetables."The reactors at Fukushima are on the Pacific coast. But Professor Links says people should not worry about any radioactive material leaking into the ocean.JONATHAN LINKS: "Even in a worst-case scenario accident, the sea provides a very high degree of dilution. So the concentration of radioactivity in the seawater would still be quite low."Japan is the only country to have had atomic bombs dropped on it. That memory from World War Two would create a stronger "psychological sensitivity" to radiation exposure, Professors Links says.Next month is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the explosion and fire that destroyed a reactor at Chernobyl in Ukraine. The nineteen eighty-six event was the world's worst accident in the nuclear power industry.A new United Nations report says more than six thousand cases of thyroid cancer have been found. These are in people who were children in affected areas of Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. The report says that by two thousand five the cancers had resulted in fifteen deaths.The cancers were largely caused by drinking contaminated milk. The milk came from cows that ate grass where radioactive material had fallen.To get the latest updates, go to .Contributing: James Brooke8. The passage mainly tells us __________.A. What measures the Japan Government takes to solve the nuclear crisis .B. Worries and influences caused by the nuclear crisis .C. With great efforts of scientists, the Japan Government has put the nuclear crisis under control .D. To explain that the nuclear crisis has less effect on its neighboring countries.9. Which of the following is NOT the influences caused by the leak of Fukushima Dai-IchiNuclear Power Station?A. Workers at the nuclear station are suffering the risk of death.B. People can get cancer from low doses of ionizing radiation, the kind released ina nuclear accident.C. The radioactive material may be blown over the area causing the pollution to water.D. The concentration of radioactivity in the seawater can not be diluted.10. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “dilution”?A. chemicalB. saltC. dissolutionD. elimination11. According to the passage which of the following is not TRUE?A. Water people drink, food and vegetables people eat may be polluted by nuclear radiation.B. Japan is the only country to have had atomic bombs dropped on it.C. You can go to . to get the latest news .D. The nuclear accident in Japan is the worst in the nuclear power industry.DIt is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia (学术界) outweigh any financial considerations.Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a commercial return, and Lee’s is one of them.The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical (制药的) company before returning to university a s a post-doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities.Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition (转换) to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has farmore potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.”12. By “a one-way street” (Line 1, Para. 1), the author means ________.A .university researchers know little about the commercial worldB. there is little exchange between industry and academiaC. few industrial scientists would quit to work in a universityD. few university professors are willing to do industrial research13. What was Helen Lee’s maj or consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career?A. Flexible work hours.B. Her research interests.C .Her preference for the lifestyle on campus. D. Prospects of academic accomplishments.14. Guy Grant chose to work as a researcher at Cambridge in order to ________.A. do financially more rewarding workB. raise his status in the academic worldC. enrich his experience in medical researchD. exploit better intellectual opportunities15. What contribution can industrial scientists make when they come to teach in a university?A. Increase its graduates’ competitiveness in the job market.B. Develop its students’ potential in research.C. Help it to obtain financial support from industry.D. Gear its research towards practical applications.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）We had been living our valley for sixteen months when we first realized the dangers that could exist. It was the year when the storms came early, before the calendar even hinted at winter, even before November was out. 16Soon snow began to fall. Within a day it lay some 15 centimeters deep. It almost completely blocked our lane and made the streamside path slippery and dangerous. But on the neighboring heights the snow was much deeper and stayed for longer. Up there the wind blasted fiercely. Deeply in our valley we felt only sudden gusts of wind: trees swayed but the branches held firm.And yet we knew that there was reason for us to worry. The snow and wind were certainly inconvenient but they did not really trouble us greatly. 17 It reminded us of what could have occurred if circumstances had been different, if the flow of water from the hills had not, many years before, been controlled, held back by a series of dams.18 Day after day, we watched furious clouds pile up high over the hills to the west. Sinister grey clouds extended over the valleys. They twisted and turned, rising eastwards and upwards, warning of what was to come. We had seen enough of the sky; now we began to watch the river, which every day was becoming fuller and wilder.The river seemed maddened as the waters poured almost horizontally down to its lowerstretches. 19 It was far deeper than we’d ever seen it so near our home, lunging furiously at its banks. For three days we prayed that it would stay below its wall. 20 A．It was the river, the Ryburn, which normally flowed so gently, that threatened us most.B．The great power of all this water prevents us from believing ourselves to be completely safe in our home.C．In a short time the snow started to melt.D．Just a couple of meters from our cottage, the stream seemed wild beneath the bridge.E．Our prayer were answered as the dam held and the waters began to subside.F．They grew so strong that we couldn’t control it.G．Until then, we had felt safe and sheltered in our valley.第三部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）Mr. Glen is a millionaire.

武邑中学2014-2015高三一轮复习单元检测题一第二部分：阅读理解AI was walking along the main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking for somewhere to make a phone call. My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to contact the AA Company. Low grey clouds were gathering across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea which nearly threw me off my feet every time I crossed one of the side streets. It had rained in the night and water was dropping from the bare trees that lined the street. I was glad that I was wearing a thick coat.There was no sign of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour whom I could ask. I had thought I might find a shop open selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his rounds, but the town was completely dead. The only living thing I saw was a thin frightened cat outside a small restaurant.Then suddenly I found what I was looking for. There was a small post office, and almost hidden from sight in a dark narrow street. Next to it was the town’s o nly public call box, which badly needed a coat of paint. I hurried forward, but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside. He was fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat. I could not see his face and he didn’t raise his head at the sound of my footsteps.Carefully, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait for my turn. It was when I threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the box call door.1.At what time was the story set?A. An early winter morningB. A cold winter afternoonC. An early summer morningD. A windy summer afternoon2. Which of the following words best describe the writer’s impression of the town?A. cold and frighteningB. dirty and crowdedC. empty and deadD. unusual and unpleasant3. The underlined word “trickling” in the last paragraph means_______________A. rushing out suddenlyB. shining brightlyC. flowing slowly in dropsD. appearing slowly4. Why didn’t the man raise his head when the writer came near?A. He was annoyed at being seen by the writer.B. He was angry at being disturbed by the writer.C. He was probably fast asleep.D. He was probably murdered.BTwo University of Oklahoma scientists are starting research that they hope will someday lead to the development of a vaccine (疫苗) to fight against the HIV virus, which causes AIDS.The research, to be carried out by Mark Lang, an assistant professor and microbiologistJohn West, will examine the basic aspects of the immune (免疫) system, rather than the complex aspects of the virus.They theorize that if a key function of the body’s immune system can be found exactly, it could be the first step toward developing a vaccine.“To develop a new vaccine, we realized we first have to study and understand the immune system,” Lang said.Lang said their work will focus on researching the basic antibody responses from Natural Killer－like T-cells. A potential vaccine would contain NKT cells and would improve the immune system’s antibodies, which fight outside invaders（侵入物）such as HIV by preventing them from entering cells or giving the immune system enough of a boost to kill them.NKT cells, which have been a part of research into cancer and other diseases, have not previously been the focus of HIV research, Lang said.The research will last 18 months, with tests being performed on mice. The Oklahoma Center is giving $ 300,000 toward the research, and if the research proves promising, Lang and West will apply to the National Institutes of Health for more funding.“If we are successful, we will have made an important contribution to the field, but we will still be several steps away from an effective vaccine,” Lang said.Lang said that in best-case scenario（最好的情况），their research could lead to a vaccine ready for use in about four years.5. The research to be carried out will focus on _______.A. the immune systemB. the test performed on miceC. NKT cellsD. the HIV virus6. We can infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 8 that __________.A. other researchers need to help themB. the research seems to be a failureC. further research needs to be doneD. the vaccine can kill all viruses7. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Lang works at the National Institutes of Health.B. The research will last one and a half years.C. The vaccine is ready for use.D. The AIDS virus may cause HIV.8. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Two researchers begin to study the immune systemB. NKT cells have been a part of research into cancerC. The relationship between the immune system and HIVD. Two scientists work to develop HIV vaccineCHistory is full of cases where dreams have been a pathway to creativity and discovery.A striking example is provided by Dr. Otto Loewi, a pharmacologist (药理学家) and winner of a Nobel Prize. Loewi had spent years studying the chemical transmission of nerve impulses (脉搏). A tremendous breakthrough in his research came when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row. The first two nights he woke up and wrote down the experiment quicklyand untidily on paper. But the next morning, he couldn’t tell what the notes meant. On the third night, he got up after having the dream. This time, instead of making notes he went straight to his laboratory and performed the important experiment. Loewi later said that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would have rejected it.Loewi’s experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions. Nervous feelings are reduced during dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh point of view.Being able to take advantage of dreams for solving is improved if you “set” yourself before retiring. Before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve. Bury yourself in the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information. Then use the suggestions listed in the previous section to catch your dreams. Although this method is not guaranteed to produce a novel solution or a new insight, it is certain to be an adventure. About half of a group of college students using the method for a week recalled a dream that helped them solve a personal problem.9. The main idea of this passage is that _________.A. very little is really known about the meaning of dreamsB. it is possible to “catch” one’s dreams by planning before going to sleepC. dreams can be useful in producing creative solutions to one’s problemsD. Loewi’s experiment helped in the study of transmission of nerve impu lses10. The first paragraph is mainly organized by _________.A. classifying types of experimentsB. summarizing the work of one researcherC. comparing and exploring historical casesD. telling in time order about one man’s research11. If Loewi had thought of the experiment while awake, he would have _________.A. asked someone else to do itB. thought it was a bad ideaC. tried it out on his ownD. thought it was a wise idea12. The author probably thinks that _________.A. nervous feelings may stop someone thinking of useful ideasB. dreaming is of very little value to most peopleC. Loewi should not have conducted his experimentD. college students should not try out dream experimentsDToday just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have experienced an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock (家畜) to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computerprograms just for farmers. Programs are being written for pig producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand” that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make shocking changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear (修剪) sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete change of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.13. According to the passage, computers can not help farmers decide _______.A. how much money they can earn from their productsB. whether to plant a certain kind of cropC. what livestock to raiseD. when to sell their products14. Which of the following statements is true?A. Farmers in the future will depend totally on computers.B. Farmers mainly use machines on their farms at present.C. Both computers and robots have been in use on today’s farms.D. Students at agricultural colleges needn’t take their normal agricultural courses.15.What is the best title for the whole passage?A. Computer, Farmers’ Best FriendB. Farmers in The FutureC. The Agricultural RevolutionD. Computers and Robots阅读新题型：Why do some people have many friends while others do not? 16__ However, it is not so. Let’s look at two psychological experiments which will give you the key to happy interpersonal relations.The first experiment is called the “Hawthorne effect” after Hawthorne, Illinois, where the experiment took place. A group of psychologists examined the work patterns of two groups of workers in the Western Electric Company. __17 .The psychologists changed the working conditions for one group twice but left the other group alone. They were surprised to find that productivity increase on both occasions and in both groups. Theyconcluded that the increase in productivity came from the attention given to the workers by the management. It had increased their motivation and so they had worked harder. In other words, if you take an interest in others, they will want to please you and you will have good relations with them.___18__ After Martin Luther King, Jr was killed in the 1960s, a teacher, Jane Elliott, living in an all-white town decided to help her class of young children understand why the Civil Rights Movement had been necessary in America.She divided the class into two groups: one with blue eyes and the other with brown eyes. Other eye colours such as hazel or green were excluded from his exercise. Then she told the class that brown-eyed people were cleverer than blue-eyed ones because of an agent for brown colour found in their blood. Blue -eyed people were stupid, lazy and not to be trusted. Jane Elliott did not need to say any more. The brown -eyed students quickly got used to their new role as the leaders of the class. The blue-eyed students became quiet and withdrawn. Then she discovered something very interesting. Four poor brown-eyed readers began to read fluently in a way they had never done before. __ 19__ .So if you want to be successful and happy, take an interest in others whether they are your classmates or workmates. Congratulate them on their successes and sympathize(同情) with them in their troubles. _20__ .A. Before the experiment the management talked to both groups of workers and explainedthat they wanted to find the best working environment for them.B. Remember that the way you treat others will decide their attitude and behaviour to you.C. The second experiment shows what happens to personal relations if you are rude to orignore（忽略） others.D. The ones who have more friends usually are those who care about others.E. Jane Elliott had shown that the way people are treated affects not only their behaviourbut also their confidence and their performance.F. You may even imagine that this ability was something they were born with because it seems so effortless to them.G. The second experiment tells us what teachers said has a great effect on the students 第三部分：When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time that taught a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why 21 had such a big influence 22 a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult. But now, 23 I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel 24 to express my own 25 on this saying. I know that I am just a high school student with very few experiences. There are still many things 26 me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.I once read this sentence, “To make this world a happy place in which to live, you had better 27_ yourself and your heart, instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about 28 itself. There are so many things around us that 29 our will. We can’t force life to follow our wishes. The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we 30 it or not. What we can do is just to make 31 suit the world. I think we should learn to accept 32 life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.The pop song Grandmother by Jay Chou is my favorite. I’m deeply moved by this beautiful song. I always try to 33 every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see that I don’t catch most of the 34 moments. It is more likely that they slip by and leave you 35 regretful. I realize that I’m not just living for myself and that there are others I should 36 such as my parents, friends, and so on. They all pay attention to my growing up, 37 it’s just a little progress.Everyone has his or her own 38 towards life, positive or negative.

武邑中学2014-2015高三一轮复习单元检测题三第二部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）ABEIJING—Seven prestigious universities in China announced Sunday that they would begin using the same independent exam —besides the national one —to test students hoping to gain entrance to them in 2011.The seven are Peking University, Beihang University, Beijing Normal University, Nankai University, Fudan University, Xiamen University and Hong Kong University.Students who want to gain entrance to any of the seven universities will only have to sit one independent exam, according to the joint announcement.“This will help lighten th e students’ load, otherwise they must take several exams for different universities,”said the announcement.Passing the exam could result in more than one interview chance, giving the students more opportunities to choose their favorite universities.China’ s college entrance exam system is undergoing reform as universities aim to select students based on independent criteria rather than just using the results of the national exam.In 2003, Peking University and another 21 universities were allowed to pilot (试用) the reform by using their own criteria to independently select five percent of their students.Now nearly 80 universities across the country have the right to select talented students based on their own exams.Education experts regard universities selecting students according to independent examinations as conducive (有助的) to better understanding where the students’ talents lie.Although this may be the case, it has also created problems as students may sit many different exams as they often apply for a number of universities.To relieve students from such pressures, the national education outline (2010—2020) released in July this year encourages high-level universities to group together to use the same exams.1. If students want to be admitted to the seven prestigious universities, they can______.A. only pass the interview.B. only take the national exam.C. only take the independent exam.D. either take the national exam or the take the independent exam.2. What’s the purpose of students sitting on e independent exam to gain entrance to the seven universities?A. It can reduce students’ load to take several exams.B. The universities will have the same standard to test students.C. There will be less trouble marking students’ test papers.D. It can avoid fierce competition among these universities.3. If students pass the independent exam, they will ______.A. take the national exam.B. have one or more interview chances.C. be admitted to one of the universities.D. he trained to be adapted to universities life and studies.4. What is the advantage of universities selecting students according to independent examinations?A. Students needn’t take the national exam.B. Students ‘education cost can be lowered.C. Students abilities and talents can be better found.D. It can encourage middle schools to recommend more qualified students.BArmed only with iPhones, the inventive rock band Atomic Tom has gone viral（广为流传） by way of the New York subway. The band has scored an Internet hit with the video to the song “Take Me Out．”Singer Luke White says the production was a top-secret operation．“We didn’t tell anyone about this. It was completely top-secret from our family, from our friends, from our label, our management, everybody. So the first time that people saw this video was last Friday when we put it on YouTube,”explained White．Since uploading the video to YouTube, band members have spent several days refreshing the page to watch the number of hits rise．The video has also made its way around Twitter as many people have shared it with their friends．“I mean, it still has’ t quite hit.It’ s just kind of blowing our minds right now that we're getting this: many people are fond of it, and they’ re sharing it with their friends. We don’ t know what it’s like really to have something that’s viral, so all of this is very new to us.” said Eric Espiritu, the lead guitarist of the band．White explains how the video came together:“We did our research with the applications（应用程序） and found applications that worked out really well with the instruments and then we plugged them all into, plugged our phones into mini-battery powered amplifiers（扩音器） that we put underneath our seats, and we did a lot of, you know, practices, in terms of figuring out what the balance of the sound and like who was overpowering, who was too loud or who was too soft．”The idea for the video came from Espiritu's younger brother Benjamin. The younger Espiritu directed the video from his initial concept through the final edit and upload to the Internet．“I’ ve seen a lot of the music applications come out, and I’ ve never actual ly had the chance to play with them,”says Ben Espiritu. “When I started hearing about how they sound and everything, I thought it might be unique to take it one step further and then create an entire band just performing solely（单曲） on the iPhones, and I thought it would be a pretty cool idea．”Ben says the success of the band’ s music video is a credit to the talent and ability of the musicians, but it’s also a sign of the times．“It really comes down to seeing something different, seeing something unique, and I think that that’ s always, in any type of art form, what will speak to people, and I think it does reflect the times that we live in, taking a smart phone and then being able to turn it into an instrument, not only just an instrument, but making it sound really good．”5. Who first saw the video of the song “Take Me Out”?A．Their friends B．The people on line C．Their family D．Their management6. What is the band members’ attitude towards the sudden fame?A. They are thrilled．B. They are quite used to it．C. They are kind of confused．D. They are so excited as to tell everyone they know．7. How did the video come into being?A. The band copied from it other musicians．B. It had already existed in the iPhones before they bought them．C. The band created it with the help of the applications in the iPhones．D. The band made full use of the traditional instruments to make the song．8. What is the significance of the success of the band’ s music video?A. It has introduced us several talented musicians．B. It has made the musicians into millionaires．C. It teaches the young a big lesson．D. It reflects the talent and ability of the musicians and the times that we live in．CIn one of the strongest indications of the power of the mind to influence the body, a growing collection of evidence finds that people who are depressed have a greatly higher risk of developing heart disease.In a study of almost 3, 000 men and 5, 000 women, depressed men were 70 per cent more likely to develop coronary (心脏的) heart disease than those who weren't depressed. While depressed women were just 12 per cent more likely to develop heart disease, those who were severely depressed were 78 per cent more likely. In fact, a 1998 study found that women who are depressed have a risk of dying from heart disease equal to that of women who smoke or who have high blood pressure.The link works the other way around, too: While about 1 in 20 American adults experience major depression in a given year, that number jumps to about one in three among those who have survived a heart attack.The more severe the depression, the more dangerous it is to your health. But some studies suggest that even mild depression, including feelings of hopelessness experienced over many years, may damage the heart. Other studies suggest depression may affect how well heart disease medications work.Researchers are n’ t sure what the connection between depression and heart disease is, but theories exist. One is that people who are depressed tend not to take very good care of themselves. They’ re more likely to eat high-fat, high-calorie “comfort” foods, less likely to exercise, and more likely to smoke. But beyond lifestyle, there is probably also a physiological link between depression and heart disease. Recent studies found that people with severe depression tended to have a lack of heart-healthy 0-3 fatty acids. People who are depressed also often have high levels of stress hormones (荷尔蒙). These keep the body primed for fight or flight, raising blood pressure and causing the heart to beat faster, all of which put additional stress on coronary arteries (动脉) and prevent the body’ s natural healing mechanisms from working properly.A whole branch of medicine is devoted to the complex links between mental health, the nervous system, the hormone system and so on. This science is gradually sorting out how the mind-body connection affects us, or defenses against heart disease.Generally, an estimated 10 percent of American adults experience some form ofdepression every year. Although available treatments can ease symptoms (症状) in more than 80 per cent of people treated, less than half of those with depression get the help they need.9.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Depression—Heart Disease Risk Factor.B. Heart Disease—Health Killer.C. Depression—Mental Health Enemy.D. Heart Disease—Depression Factor.10. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. With high blood pressure, depression is another potential risk to women’s health.B. Depression, which is mild, can possibly cause damage to your health.C. Most people who experience depression get treated as they should be.D. Depression may have some influence on the function of heart disease medication.11. According to the passage, the possible connections between heart disease and depression are the following EXCEPT ______.A. depressed ones tend to eat high-fat and high-calories foods, which leads to physical damage to heartB. severe heart disease may cause people to feel hopeless and depressedC.depression may result in the lack of some kind of acids, which probably affects the working of people’ s heartD. people with depression often have a high level of stress hormones, maybe, which will put extra pressure on one’s heartDYi So-yeon, an engineer from Seoul, returned to Earth on Saturday after 11 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS), along with Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and US astronaut Peggy Whitson.A technical problem turned a routine (常规) return to Earth into a sharper than usual descent (下降) that tested the group members' stamina and courage. They landed in the Kazakh steppes ( 大草原) about 420km (260 miles) wide of their target."During the descent there was some kind of fire outside the Soyuz capsule because we were going through the atmosphere," Yi said."At first I was afraid, but the two other guys looked okay, so I tried to look okay too."Yi smiled and joked her way through a 10-minute news briefing at Star City, the wooded Sovietera cosmonaut training centre on the edge of Moscow. However, Malenchenko andWhitson looked tired and thin after nearly six months in space. Their answers were short and Whitson needed support to balance when she walked. The 29-year-old Yi has become famous in South Korea since the take-off but she brushed this aside and said she has had little contact with friends or family since returning."In fact, they are the heroes right now," Yi said, referring to Malenchenko and Whitson. "I'm just a beginner and a little ashamed to say that I am a hero." She did, though, relate a more light-hearted incident on the ISS."I sang 'Fly Me to the Moon" Yi said about the 1950s pop song. "It's my favorite song from university although at that time I didn't know I would be an astronaut."The capsule's so-called "ballistic" re-entering made the group members face twice the usual pull from the centre of the earth. The flames Yi described may have been caused by friction (摩擦) heating the capsule as it fell through the atmosphere.Whitson told reporters that Saturday's ballistic landing, was irregular but not an emergency."The Soyuz has been through its history very reliable and there has obviously been some issue in the last couple of descents which went ballistic, but I'm sure the engineers will determine what the problems are and get them fixed," she said.In October, a Soyuz capsule carrying Malaysia's first space tourist touched down about 200 km (125 miles) off course in a similar ballistic landing caused by a technical problem.The Soyuz is the world's longest-serving manned space capsule. An early version of the craft, the Vostok, carried the first person into space in 1961.Whitson, 48, has become the American with the longest amount of time in space with 377 days.12. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Flight in space is very dangerousB. Not everybody can go into spaceC. Fearful landing tests the Korean astronautD. Yi didn't know she would be an astronaut when she was young13. The reason why Yi Suo-yeon felt afraid at first was that __________.A. a fire was caused by the frictionB. she had no such experience beforeC. she was not brave enoughD. the other two didn't help her14. From the passage, we can learn that __________.A. Yi So-yeon, a space tourist came from South KoreaB. Whitson became energetic when they landed on earthC. the two other guys were not afraid during the descentD. the Soyuz, an unmanned space capsule, had a long history15. The underlined phrase in this passage means __________.A. out of workB. out of controlC. in the wrong directionD.in danger 阅读新题型Ancient Rome was one of the world’s most powerful empires more than 2,000 years ago.

武邑中学2014-2015高三一轮复习单元检测题十第一部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）AIn the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear indep endent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others often. We try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty four years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was sayi ng to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understoo d. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pr etend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.1. The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ______.A. they offer their helpB. they receive others’ helpC. they feel others’ kindnessD. they show their weakness2. The author feels sad sometimes because ______.A. he has a soft heartB. he relies much on othersC. some people pretend to be kindD. some people fail to see the kindness in others3.

He wondered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer. Jerry Miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot of farmers.As he tells it, the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one day that she was recently divorced and would like to date. But someone would invite her to meet for coffee at nine o’clock at night, when she had to start her day at five the next morning.So, in 2005, Jerry Miller launched his website. "You don’t have to be a farmer to be on "FarmersOnly. com". But you do have to have the good old-fashioned traditional values of America’s heartland. "You also have to live in the United States or Canada to be a member of the site. Some services are free, but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year. As of last week the site listed more than 58,000 members. Many of them are farmers in the United States. Others are students or workers involved in some way with agriculture. Jerry Miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website.Some farmers have also found love through a group, Singles in Agriculture, which was formed as a nonprofit organization in 1986.It organizes gatherings that usually end with a dance, but is not a dating service. The purpose is to support educational and social activities that offer people a chance for friendship. Its website, "", says there are more than l,000 members across the nation and as far away as France.6.

However, many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first aspect is the application of the machines, products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologists develop. The second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is curious - he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually pays attention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation, and looks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective(客观的) and uses the facts he observes to the fullest. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum(光谱).He does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available. He rejects authority as the only basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively.Furthermore, he does not readily accept his own idea, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.Lastly, he is full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to guess how processes work and how events take place.These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.11. Many people believe that science helps society to progress through_________A. knowledge only.B. more than one aspect.C. technology only.D. the use of machines.12. Which of the following statements about a curious scientist is TRUE?A. He doesn’t find confidence and pleasure in work.B. He is interested in problems that are explained.C. He makes efforts to investigate potential connections.D. He looks for new ways of acting.13. According to the passage, a successful scientist would NOT_______________.A. easily believe in unchecked statements.B. easily criticize others' research work.C. always use his imagination in work.D. always use evidence from observation.14. Which word can be used to describe the data that a good scientist uses?A. completeB. objectiveC. complicatedD. accurate15. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Application of technology.B. Progress in modem society.C. Scientists' ways of thinking and acting.D. How to become a successful scientist.阅读新题型What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 16 .

AShree Bose is one of the most impressive kids graduating from Fort Worth Country Day High School this year. Bose has a large circle of friends, and there’s one who you may have heard of: President Obama. He has twice publicly recognized her achievements in cancer research and spoken with her in the Oval Office.If that isn’t enough, Bose recently gave a TED Talk about her work with the cancer drug Cisplatin, which also won her first prize at the Google Science Fair and recognition as one of Glamour magazine’s Young Amazing Women of the Year.After watching her grandfather struggle with liver cancer, Bose was determined to help out in any way she could. As a high school student though, her scientific choices were limited. She reached out to various hospitals and research centers, but doctors turned down her requests because they felt she was too inexperienced medically.Only the North Texas Science Health Center respected her determination and chose to guide her. The results were amazing.Bose chose to study a protein (蛋白质) and its reaction with the cancer drug Cisplatin. She noticed that when she prevented this protein from growing, Cisplatin was allowed to begin destroying cancer cells once again.“My project not only contributes to the understanding of the relationshi p between the protein and Cisplatin, but also suggests a newer, more effective treatment for patients who resist Cisplatin,” Bose said.Bose’s achievements aren’t limited to the lab, though. She was also captain of her swim team and editor-in-chief of her school paper.Bose is currently getting practical experience at the National Institute of Health and she’ll be attending Harvard in the fall. She plans to study molecular biology and go to medical school. Eventually, she would like to be a doctor.21. President Obama has spoken with Bose because she ______.A. gave a TED Talk recentlyB. is captain of her swim teamC. has a large circle of friendsD. contributed to the cancer research22. According to Bose’s research, ______ helps make Cisplati n work better.A. stopping the protein from growingB. destroying cancer cells timelyC. using the drug more frequentlyD. making the protein react with the drug23. From the passage, we know that _____.A. Bose’s research was supported from the st artB. Bose plans to become a doctor in the futureC. Bose will study in the National Institute of HealthD. Bose’s grandfather asked her to do cancer research24. The passage is mainly about _____.A. a research on cancer drugsB. a new effective cancer treatmentC. a doctor who has a promising futureD. a girl who did research on cancer treatmentBIn most cases, there is only one correct answer to a question. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That ques tion is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes th e name of a grandparent o r other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter— a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter— a person who made pots and pans.The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added–s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.25. Which of the following aspects are NOT covered in the surnames of the passage?A. People’s characters.B. P eople’s occupations.C. Places where people lived.D. Talents that people possessed.26. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.A. owned or drove a cartB. made things with metalsC. built houses and furnitureD. made kitchen tools or containers27. Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.A. Beatrice SmithB. Leonard CarterC. Donald GreenwoodD. George Longstreet28. The underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a person’s _____.A. ancestorsB. later generationsC. friends and relativesD. colleagues andpartnersCHere are the comments on CRI (China Radio International) given by people from differentA. CRI helps to keep its listeners up-to-date.B. CRI helps its listeners to better understand China.C. CRI helps its listeners to practice and improve foreign languages.D. CRI helps its listeners broaden their knowledge with its rich contents.30. The underlined phrase “quench the thirst” refers to _____.A. satisfy one’s needB. supply drinksC. take care ofD. keep in touch with31. What can be concluded from the four comments?A. CRI has a great influence on our society and lives.B. Wonderful though CRI is, there are still many weaknesses.C. CRI plays an important role in introducing the world to China.D. CRI has made great efforts to make itself better and gained popularity.DEven i n a weak job market, the old college try isn’t the answer for everyone. A briefing paper from the Brookings Institution warns that “we may have overdone the message” on college, senior fellow Isabel Sawhill said.“We’ve been telling students and their fa milies for years that college is the only way to succeed in the economy and of course there’s a lot of truth to that,” Ms. Sawhill said. “On average it does pay off… But if you load up on a whole lot of student debt and then you don’t graduate, that is a very bad situation.”One comment that people often repeat among the years of slow job growth has been the value of education for landing a job and advancing in a career. April’s national unemployment rate stood at 7.5%, according to the Labor Department. The unemployment rate for high-school graduates over 25 years old who hadn’t attended college was 7.4%, compared with 3.9% for those with a bachelor’s degree or more education. The difference is even bigger among those aged 16-24. The jobless rate for those with only a high school diploma in that age group is about 20%. At the same time, recent research by Canadian economists warns that a college degree is no guarantee of promising employment.Ms. Sawhill pointed out that among the aspects that affect the value of a college education is the field of one’s major: students in engineering or other sciences end up earning more than those who major in the arts or education. The cost of tuition and the availability of financial aid are other considerations, with public institutions generally a better financial bargain than private ones.She suggested two ways of improving the situation: increasing vocational-technical(职业技能) training programs and taking a page from Europe’s focus on early education rather than post-secondary learning. “The European countries put a little more attention to getting people prepared in the primary grades,” she said. “Then they have a higher requirement for whoever goes to college—but once you get into college, you’re more likely to be highly subsidized(资助).”She also is a supporter of technical training—to teach students how to be workers, such as plumbers, welders and co mputer programmers—because “employers are desperate” for workers with these skills.32. People usually think that _____.A. the cost of technical schooling is a problemB. one will not succeed without a college degreeC. technical skills are most important for landing a jobD. there is an increased competition in getting into a college33. What does the underlined part “taking a page from” mean?A. hearing from.B. changing from.C. differing from.D. learning from.34. What can we infer from the passage?A. Public institutions charge more for education.B. European universities are stricter with students.C. Students with certain skills are in great demand.D. Canadian students prefer to major in engineering.35. Which would be the best title for the text?A. Is the ‘Go to College’ message overdone?B. The new requirement of Labor MarketC. Primary education in European countriesD. Is technical training more popular? 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Encouraging Positive RelationshipsChoosing one’s friends is an important part of growing up. And although you can’t choose your children’s friends, you can have a positive influence on the relationships they make throughout their formative years. Use the following strategies to help your children to build positive relationships with their friends.● Encourage diversity. 36 In addition to exposing your kids to more diversity, it will also help them learn more about themselves.● Av oid criticism. Avoid criticizing friendships, but be honest with your kids when you’re concerned. 37 This may make them defensive and less receptive to what you have to say. Do be open and willing to listen to what they have to say, and talk about what makes you nervous.● 38 If you feel that one of your child’s friends is having a negative influence on him, invite that friend to spend time with you and your child together so that you can have a positive influence on the relationship.● Engage in community service. Enga ge your family in service and volunteering (or joina social group) through a local church, school, or other nonprofit organization. 39● 40 When talking about a friend who has a negative influence on your child, focus your comments on that friend’s behaviors, not on her personality. For example, instead of calling your child’s friend irresponsible for smoking, you could point out that the behavior has a negative effect on her health and recommend ways for your child to help her quit.A. Offer advice.B. Get involved.C. Don’t condemn (谴责) your child’s friends.D. Help your kids find the group that they fit with.E. These events can be great places to meet new friends.F. It’s important to develop positive relationships with family members as well.G. Challenge your children to get to know kids from many different backgrounds.第三部分：英语知识运用 (共两节，满分45分)第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）Things have been kind of tough lately for Shannon Baker and her little family.

One day 61 earthquake rocked the mountain, causing one of the eggsto roll down the mountain to a chicken farm 62 (locate) in the valley below. The chickens were kind enough to care for the eagle’s egg, and an old hen volunteered to nurture(哺育) and raise the large egg.One day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. Sadly, 63 , the eagle was raised to be a chicken. Soon, the eagle believed he was nothing more 64 a chicken. The eagle loved his present family, but his spirit cried out 65 more. While playing onthe farm one day, the eagle happened to notice a group of mighty eagles soaring in the skies.“Oh,” the eagle cried, “I wish I could soar like those birds.”The chickens roared with 66 (laugh), “You cannot soar with those birds. You are a chicken and chickens do not soar.”The eagle continued staring at his real family up above, 67 (dream) that he could be with them. Each time the eagle would let his dreams 68 (know), he was told it couldn’t be done. That is 69 the eagle learned to believe. The eagle, after time, stopped dreaming and continued to live like a chicken. Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the eagle passed away.You become what you believe you are. So, if you ever dream of becoming an eagle, follow 70 dreams... not the words of a chicken.第二节：短文改错 (共10小题; 每小题1分, 满分10分)After school, I was about to enter into my apartment when I saw a little dirty dog lie beside the dustbin.

It was common practice for my mother to send me off soul-searching with a proverb.Of the many interactions I had with my mother those many years ago, one stands out with clarity. I remember the occasion when Mother sent me to the main road, about twenty yards away from the farmhouse, to invite a passing group of seasonal work-seekers home for a meal. She instructed me to take a container along and collect dry cow dung (牛粪) for making a fire. I was then to prepare the meal for the group of work-seekers.The thought of making an open fire outside at midday, cooking in a large three-legged pot in that high heat, was enough to upset even an angel. I did not manage to hide my feelings from my mother, and after serving the group, she called me to the balcony, where she usually sat to attend to her sewing (缝纫).Looking straight into my eyes, she said, “Tsholofelo, why were you so unhappy when I requested you to prepare a meal for those poor people?” Despite my attempt to deny her allegation(断言), and using the heat of the fire and the sun as an excuse for my alleged behavior, Mother, giving me a firm look, said, “A foot has no nose.” It means, “You can’t detect what trouble may lie ahead of you.” Had I denied the group of people a meal, it may have happened that, in my travels some time in the future, I found myself at the mercy of those very individuals. As if that was not enough to shame me, Mother continued, “A person is a person because of another person.”1. We learn from the passage that Tsholofelo’s mother often _____.A. quoted proverbs when she was talking with othersB. asked Tsholofelo to read more proverbsC. collected proverbs in her spare timeD. used proverbs to teach Tsholofelo2. What was Tsholofelo’s attitude towards the meal?A. Unwilling.B. Interested.C. Critical.D. Unconcerned.3. The atmosphere on the balcony was probably _____.A. very strangeB. a bit tenseC. quite livelyD. pretty relaxed4. According to the passage, Tsholofelo’s mother seemed to hope Tsholofelo could be _____.A. flexible and creativeB. sincere and honestC. active and confidentD. sympathetic and helpfulBHee-haw!

As you drive up, Sherry greets you on the porch(入口处) of the 1825 farmhouse with a cow-shaped cookie jar. Before long your kids are playing around with the cows, sheep, ducks, goats, and geese and getting ready for a hayride(乘坐装满干草的牛车出游).MERAMEC FARM CABINSBourbon, Mo; 573／732-4765; . Doubles with private bath $75, $10 per additional person. Trail and riding fees extra.Climb onto the back of the Ford pickup and catch up with the herd. One gentle cow named Cricket will even let the kids sit on her back. At the barn(牲口棚), Carel will introduce you to the horses ---- 15 Missouri Fox Trotters ---- and lead you on a trail ride over the hills and down along the spring-fed Meramec River, where everyone swims. Grab a fishing pole and head back to the river. When you’ve had your fill of the wild, try CareI and Dave’s favorite restaurants or wineries(酿酒厂), within 20 miles of the farm.5.

Who will be most likely interested in this webpage?A. Kids who want to find pleasure in the theme parks.B. People who expect to be employed on the farms.C. Those who plan to have family vacations on working farms.D. Researchers who are interested in raising cows on farms.CAfter successfully serving their term for four years, military service men and women are given the choice to stay in the military or return to civilian life.For some, having to readjust to civilian life is one of the most challenging assignments our returning soldiers and marines(水兵) will ever have to undertake. While people may think that readjusting should be simple, they must take into consideration all the physical and mental stress our servicemen went through.Post-traumatic Stress Disorder(创伤后应激障碍), or PTSD, is a mental disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as military combat(打仗).Most survivors of trauma return to normal given a little time. In the military, the marines are given a two-week course on how to return to civilian life.Unfortunately, some will have stress reactions that do not go away on their own, or may even get worse over time. These individuals may develop PTSD.People who suffer from PTSD have difficulty sleeping because they are often reliving the experience through nightmares(梦魇) and flashbacks, and feel deserted or often stand off, and these symptoms can be severe enough and last long enough to significantly damage the person’s daily life.Fullerton College, like most college, has its own Veteran’s(老兵) Office. Ray Bustos has been running the office for 3 years. Bustos acts as a liaison(联络) for the school and the veteran students. He makes sure the veterans returning to school get the right benefits. There are various types of financial aid for soldiers and marines. He strongly encourages the use of the Veterans Affairs website.The website is very informative and extremely helpful for veterans as well as for friends and relatives of veterans who want to learn more.9. One purpose of the writer in writing this passage is _______.A. to introduce some methods to cure PTSDB. to instruct PTSD patients to return to civilian lifeC. to recommend a website for veterans and people concernedD. to give military service men and women advice on civilian life10. What problem will some returning soldiers and marines meet with?A. How to readjust to civilian life.B. How to get rid of mental diseases.C. How to get along with PTSD patients.D. How to return to school for benefits.11. Which of the following is true about Ray Bustos?A. He is a veteran who has just come back from a military combat.B. He runs Fullerton College with a veteran office.C. He is in charge of an office dealing with veteran affairs.D. He provides a lot of financial aid for soldiers and marines.12. The best title for the passage is ______.A. PTSD: Killer of A Civilian LifeB. The Last Assignment for All Military PersonsC. How to Overcome PTSDD. Ready for A Civilian Life?DLots of people have hobbies. Some people collect old coins or foreign stamps; some do needlework; others spend most of their spare time on a particular sport.A lot of people enjoy reading. But reading tastes differ widely. Some people only read newspapers or comics, some like reading novels, while others prefer books on astronomy, wildlife, or technological discoveries.If I happen to be interested in horses or precious stones, I cannot expect everyone else to share my enthusiasm. If I watch all the sports programs on TV with great pleasure, I must put up with the fact that other people find sports boring.Is there nothing that interests us all? Is there nothing that concerns everyone—no matter who they are or where they live in the world? Yes, dear Sophie, there are questions that certainly should interest everyone. They are precisely the questions this course is about.What is the most important thing in life? If we ask someone living on the edge of starvation, the answer is food. If we ask someone dying of cold, the answer is warmth. If we put the same question to someone who feels lonely and isolated, the answer will probably be the company of other people.But when these basic needs have been satisfied—will there still be something that everybody needs? Philosophers think so. They believe that man cannot live by bread alone. Of course everyone needs food. And everyone needs love and care. But there is something else—apart from that—which everyone needs, and that is to figure out who we are and why we are here.Being interested in why w e are here is not a “casual” interest like collecting stamps. People who ask such questions are taking part in a debate that has gone on as long as man has lived on this planet. How the universe, the earth, and life came into being is a bigger and more important question than who won the most gold medals in the last Olympics.13. This text is most probably taken from __________.A. a research paperB. a course scheduleC. a personal letterD. a book review14. Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?A. Philosophical questions are as interesting as collecting stamps.B. Thinking about philosophical questions is a serious interest.C. Figuring out who we are and why we are here is man’s basic needs.D. Philosophy has universal appeal and concerns everybody in nature.15. The author believes that __________.A. no existing subject can interest everyone in the worldB. different people may have different interests and concernsC. everyone has to figure out who we are and why we are hereD. people in modern society pay more attention to philosophical questionsE____16___ Life for these people is different from that for younger Americans. Most senior citizens retire, or no longer work full time. Also it is unusual for people of this age to live with their children and grandchildren. Grandparents tend to live in their own houses or apartments away from their families.For many senior citizens, the years after 65 are not enjoyable. They feel unproductive when the no longer work. ___17____ In addition, they may feel lonely being away from their families and their contacts they had in their work.

The researchers also found that TV viewing didn’ t have much of an effect —positively or negatively — as long as it wasn’ t displacing conversations between an adult and a child.The UCLA study included 275 families with children between 2 months and 48 months old. They represented a variety of incomes and education. The researchers found that, in an average day, children hear about 13,000 spoken words from adults and participated in about 400 adult child conversations a day.Assessed separately, factors positively associated with language development included each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1,000 word increase in the number of words spoken by adults and heard by children. When looked at alone, TV was negatively associated with language development. But, when the three factors were analyzed together, the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children.“The more a child speaks and interacts with an adult, the better idea a parent has about where the child is，” Zimmerman said. “Although it’ s mostly done unconsciously, parents will provide feedback and correct mistakes. They’ll alsotailor their speech to the child. Parents can give a child words by talking to them about what they’ re doing, such as，‘I’m putting on your pajamas now’. But give your child the opportunity to talk, hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment，” she added. “If parents can carve out some conversation time — maybe at bath time or at dinner time — that’ s a wonderful thing.”46．The researchers also found that TV viewing ________.A. could have a positive effect on a child’s language developmentB. had a little effect on a child’ s language developmentC. affected a child’s language development more negatively than positivelyD. affected a child’s language development both negatively and positively 47．Frederick Zimmerman would probably agree that ________.A. parents should let their children talk most of the timeB. children should watch TV programs selectivelyC. the conversation between parents and children should be two wayD. it’ s no good for parents to correct their children’ s mistakes when they are speaking48．We can conclude from the last paragraph that ________.A. parents should let a child repeat what he or she saysB. bath time or dinner time is the best chance for parents to talk to a childC. parent-child conversation can be carried out at any proper timeD. parents should leave a child talking alone49．What would be the best title for the passage?A. Talk with kids, not at themB. Let your children voice their own opinionsC. How to develop a child’ s language abilityD. The importance of early child language development50．The underlined word “tailor” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by ________.A. controlB. improveC. passD. adjustCA house in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii has collapsed, raising concerns about whether Italy is spending enough to preserve its archaeological heritage.The House of the Gladiators（角斗士） was found in ruins when the person who was in charge came to open the site to visitors early on Saturday. Partially rebuilt after it suffered damage during World War II, it had not been thought at risk of collapse. Culture Minister Sandro Bondi said some of the pictures painted on the house's lower walls might have survived. He said that the collapse showed the need for “adequate resources” to keep Italy’s “extremely great historic artistic heritage” in good condition. Italian President Giorgio Napolitano said it was “a shame for Italy”. Antonio Varone, director of excavations（挖掘）at the site, saidofficials were “trying to preserve the last small parts and pieces” of the building. The house, which is not normally open to the public but can be viewed from the outside, was cordoned off after the collapse, and visitors can’t get close to it. There was speculation（推测）that recent heavy rains might have made the building which is thousands of years old fall, but no one was true.Pompeii was destroyed in AD79 when a volcanic eruption from nearby Mount Vesuvius buried the city in ash. It was not uncovered until the 18th Century. The house, known as the Schola Armaturarum, was used by gladiators for training before fights in the nearby amphitheatre, a circular building without a roof and with rows of seats that rose in steps around an open space.Tsao Cevoli, president of Italy’s National Association of Archaeologists, called the collapse “an irreparable wound which is too serious to repair to the world’s most important archaeological site”. Extra funds were made available two years ago, and special measures were put in place, to improve conservation at Pompeii, but critics said the plan was badly managed.51. The underlined part “cordoned off” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.A. dug up by sb. or sth.B. surrounded by sb. or sth.C. rebuilt by sb. C. put off by sth.52. Which of the following is TRUE about the collapsed house in Pompeii?A. The house was rebuilt during World War Two.B. The house has no pictures on its walls.C.

河北省武邑中学2015届高考英语一轮复习第39期55分钟课堂练习第一部分：阅读理解ALike any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her 3-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new baby. They find out that the new baby is going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sings to his sister in Mommy's stomach.Finally, Michael's little sister is born.

The little girl gets worse. The pediatric(儿科的)specialist tells the parents, "There is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst."Karen and her husband contact a local cemetery about a burial plot. They have fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby, but now they plan a funeral. Michael, keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister, "I want to sing to her, "he says.Karen makes up her mind. She will take Michael whether they like it or not. If he doesn't see his sister now, he may never see her alive.She dresses him in an oversized suit and marches him into ICU.

They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become a compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessive behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log（写日志）on computers and spend long hours at different websites.They become hooked(着迷) on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don’t concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades, and success at schools. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society, Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate themselves from the society and live with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real life friends they have known all their life. lt is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect the whole world.5. The passage is about __________.A. the cause of weboholismB. the advantage of weboholismC. the popularity of weboholismD. the influence of weboholism6. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. weboholism has the greatest effect on teenagersB. teenagers can hardly balance real and virtual lifeC. people are addicted to games on the lnternetD. virtual life is more vivid and attractive anyway7. Which of the following is NOT true of weboholism?A. It contributes to the development of the web.B. The chat room language may change social culture.C. The problem will have a negative influence on our future.D. People addicted to the web often become inactive in real life.8. The author’s attitude towards weboholism is that of being _______.A. objectiveB. positiveC. opposedD. acceptableCNap，doze，shut-eye and snooze are all expressions we use to describe that mysterious state，sleep. We all do it，we can't get by without it and by the time we reach old age，most of us have spent 20 years sleeping. Yet，nobody knows why we do it．Most scientists think that by resting our bodies，we allow time for essential maintenance （维护）work to be done. Any damage that there is can be put right more quickly if energy isn't being used up doing other things. Injured animals certainly spend more time asleep than usual while their wounds are healing（愈合）．And quite a few illnesses make us feel sleepy so our body can get on with curing us．Sleep is controlled by certain chemicals. They build up during the day，eventually reaching levels that make us tired. We can control the effects of these chemicals to some extent．For example，caffeine helps to keep us awake while alcohol and some medicines make us sleepy.By using electrodes，scientists are able to study what goes on in people's heads while they are sleeping. They have discovered that when we first drop off everything slows down. The heart beats more slowly and our breathing becomes shallow．After about 90 minutes our eyes start to twitch and we go into what is called REM sleep．REM stands for Rapid Eye Movement，and it's a sign that we've started to dream.You have dreams every night，even if you don't remember them. There are all sorts of theories about why we dream. One is that it gives the brain a chance to sort out the day's activities，filling everything away in the right place. Another is that the brain gets bored while we're asleep and organizes its own entertainment-a sort of late-night cinema！A lot of people say they have to have eight hours’ sleep every night while others seem to manage on a lot less. One thing is for sure，we all need some sleep and going without it can have some very strange effects. An American DJ，who stayed awake for 200 hours to raise money for charity，thought things were bursting into flames all around him after 120 hours without sleep．He survived the strange horrible period of time but was depressed for three months afterwards．Humans are unusual in the way they sleep．Most animals have a sleep during the day and tests have shown that a siesta can be beneficial for us too．It's even been recommended that airline pilots should have a nap during long flight s so that they are more alert（警觉的）for the tricky business of landing.So next time you nod off after Sunday lunch in front of the TV，don't feel embarrassed about it．Science，after all，is on your side．9．The passage is probably from aA. lab reportB. research paperC. science storyD. drug instruction10. When we are sleeping，．A. our heart beats more slowlyB. our body chemicals become fully controllableC. our brain begins to show moviesD. our wound begins to heal11. The underlined word “siesta” in the last paragraph but one meansA. a good restB. a little drinkC. a short sleepD. a day dreamDWe can stay young forever. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world. And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “shen”.According to Shen, it is the kidney（肾脏）which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The Telegraph newspaper.We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.12. How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging?A. By studying Western medicine.B. By learning traditional Chinese medicine.C. By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.D. By doing research on both Western and Chinese people.13. What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?A. Medical treatment.B. People’s good kidney.C. Level of people’s activity.D. Positive life attitude.14. The reason why people become old is that _________.A. their bodies produce T-cellsB. their bodies are unable to fight diseasesC. they have reduced strength, loss of hairD. they become weaker and weaker15. We can probably learn from the passage that _________.A. producing more low calorie food allows people to keep youngB. the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for healthC. people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the bodyD. it remains unknown how effective Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine isEA punctual （准时的）person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment._71_He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again，but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things._72_.The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable assets as well as the assets of others'. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters or return calls or keep appointments promptly._73_. He knows that he can not get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully attends to every piece of work when it has to be attended to .Failure to be punctual in keeping one's appointments is a sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time，he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. 74 .Unpunctuality，moreover，is very harmful when it comes to doing one's duty，whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time._75A. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful with his time and seldom complains because he lacks it.B. The unpunctual man，on one hand，never does what he should do ahead of time.C. In fact，time is life itself.D. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.E. The unpunctual man，on one hand，never does what he has to do at the proper time.F. All guests present ought to be respected by the host.G. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.第二部分完形填空A man found a cocoon (茧) of a moth（蛾）.

He took a pair of scissors and cut off the 25 bit of the cocoon. The 26 then came out easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriven（无用的） wings. The man continued to watch the moth because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and 27 to be able to support the 28 , which would get smaller in time. Neither happened! In fact, the little moth spent the rest of its life 29 around with a small, swollen body and shriveled wings. It was 30 able to fly.What the man in his kindness didn’t31 was that the small cocoon and the 32 of the moth to get through the 33 opening was a way to push fluid(液体) 34 the body of moth 35 its wings so that it would be ready to fly 36 it got out of the cocoon. Freedom and 37 would come only after the struggle. By taking the moth of a struggle away, he also took away the moth’s health.Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life.

AClose your eyes for a minute and imagine what life would be like if you had a hundred dollars less. Also imagine what it would be like spending the rest of your life with your eyes closed. Imagine having to read this page, not with your eyes but with your finger-tips.With existing medical knowledge and skills, two-thirds of the world’s 42 million blind should not have to suffer. Unfortunately, rich countries posses most of this knowledge, while developing countries do not.ORBIS is an international non-profit organization which operates the world’s only flying teaching eye hospital. ORBIS intends to help fight blindness worldwide. Inside a DC-8 aircraft, there is a fully-equipped teaching hospital with television studio and classroom. Doctors are taught the latest techniques of bringing sight back to people there. Project ORBIS also aims at promoting peaceful cooperation among countries. ORBIS tries to help developing countries by providing training during three-week medical programs. ORBIS has taught sight-saving techniques to over 35,000 doctors and nurses, who continue to cure tens of thousands of blind people every year. ORBIS has conducted 17 plane programs is China so far. For the seven to ten million blind in China ORBIS is planning to do more for them. At the moment an ORBIS is working on a long-term plan to develop a training center and to provide eye care services to Shanxi Province.ORBIS needs your help to continue their work and free people from blindness.For just US$38,you can help one person see; for $380 you can bring sight to 10 people; $1,300 helps teach a doctor new skills; and for $13,000 you can provide a training programme for a group of doctors who can make thousands of blind people see again.Your money can open their eyes to the world.Please help ORBIS improve the quality of life for so many people less fortunate than ourselves.1.ORRIS aims to help the blind by ______.A.teaching medical studentsB.training doctors and nursesC.running flying hospitals globallyD. setting up non-profit organization2.What does the author try to do in the last paragraph?A.Appeal for donationsB.Make an advertisementC. Promote training programsD.Show sympathy for the blind3.What can be the best title for the passage?A.ORRIS in ChinaB.Fighting BlindnessC.ORRIS Flying HospitalD.Sight-seeing TechniquesBEveryone looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person’s ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead to a better life and a brtter way of doing things.All these, however, remain true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.However,at the back of the minds of m any people,especially those who miss the “good old days”, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes efficient,people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to.The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or to see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication gadgets, such as mobile phones and iPads, people often do not take the effect to visit one another personally.A personal visit carries with it the additio nal feature of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off.With efficiency also comes mass production. Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today. Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handcrafts(手工艺品) are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people’s attitude. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new “past” is created.4. According to Paragraph 1, progress can benefit people when they are willing to _______.A. live a better lifeB. look for better methodsC. change ways of livingD. accept technology and advance steadily5. The underlined word “gadgets” is closest in meaning to _______.A. toolsB. messagesC. barriersD. skills6. The author explains “efficiency comes with a price” by _______.A. describing a processB. using examplesC. following time orderD. making classification7. Compared with home-made handicrafts, machine made products _______.A. lack great accuracyB. lack the personal touchC. are of high valueD. are quite welcome8. What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4?A. It can destroy old traditions.B. It can lead to social progress.C. It can be used to correct mistakes.D. It can be used to preserve old products.9. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. Progress can suit the needs of daily life.B. People review the past with great regret.C. Technology should be introduced in a fixed way.D. People’s attitude decides the use of technology.CWith around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them arc still awake after the first 15 minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pyjamas (睡衣). Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting (警报) systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the "night owl" schedule of sleep.This is opposed to the "early bird" schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight. Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as "night owls" and only 10 percent can be classified as "early birds" --- the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls this gives them an excellent excuse for missing theirlectures which unfortunately fall before midday.10. What docs the author stress in Paragraph I?A. Many students are absent from class.B. Students are very tired on Monday mornings.C. Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.D. Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.11. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?A. Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.B. Students don't sleep well because of alerting systems.C. One's body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently.D. Adolescents' delayed sleep/wake cycle isn't the preferred pattern.12. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Functions of the body clock.B. The "night owl" phenomenon.C. Human beings' sleep behaviour.D. The school schedule of "early birds".DWomen are friendly. But men are more competitive. Why? Researchers have found it's all down to the hormone oxytocin (荷尔蒙催生素). Although known as the love hormone, it affects the sexes differently."Women tend to be social in their behavior. They often share with others. But men tend to be competitive. They are trying to improve their social status," said Professor Ryan.Generally, people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interactions (互动) such as falling in love or giving birth.But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy.Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relationships, but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship. Professor Ryan's recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37. Half of the participants（参与者）received oxytocin. The other half received placebo (安慰剂).After a week, the two groups switched with participants. They went through the same procedure with the other material.Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions. Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions. The questions were about telling friendship from competition. And their answers should bebased on gestures, body language and facial expressions.The results indicated that, after treatment with oxytocin, men's ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.Professor Ryan thus concluded: "Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise people's abilities to better distinguish different social interactions. And the behavior differences between men and women are caused by biological factors (因素) that are mainly hormonal."13. What can we learn from Professor Ryan's previous experiment?A. Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way.B. Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love.C. Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about others' success.D. Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand people's behavior differences.14. Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment?A. To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social interactions.B. To know the differences between friendship and competition.C. To know people's different abilities to answer questions.D. To test people's understanding of body language.15. The author develops the text by______.A. explaining people's behaviorsB. describing his own experiencesC. distinguishing sexual differencesD. discussing research experiments第二节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in．Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her．The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old andnew friends there.The truth of the story is that I am the one wh o got the best gift:the smile on Alice’sface 25.The underlined word“dementia〞in Paragraph 2 probably is_______A．a house B．a letter C．an illness D．a plan26. Where did Alice spend her Christmas Eve according to the story?A. In her old houseB. In her old neighborhood church．C．In the nursing home． D. In the hospital．27.

The true loveCIn a computer age，a broadband Internet connection is very popular now．Whether cable or mobile broadband，today’s connections are many times faster than those in the early days. Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly，and files download much faster than ten years ago．And the files are much bigger too．There’s a hidden problem：You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don’t，it's slow dial-up access for you. And for those living really far out，there may be no Internet access at a11．Technologyexpert s often talk about the“last mile〞problem， which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations．In cities and suburbs(郊区)，it's relatively easy to provide access for everyone．It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities，especially in developing countries．Internet service providers．for their part，have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely(稀疏地)populated areas．The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn’t cover the expense.But every year,technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren’t available everywhere．Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper more efficient fiber optics cables(光纤电缆)promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users．Still．the“last mile〞problem remains hard to deal with．There will always be somewhere that doesn’t have an affordable broadband connection．But someday that might not matter．If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication，it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.29. Which ofthe following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Internet connections have been popular everywhere．B．Internet service providers are willing to care about rural(农村的)customers．C.

The best title for this passage may be________．A．Internet Connection Problems B．Internet Connections Need ImprovingC. Progress in Internet Connections D．Internet Connections TodayDA good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young people，and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kind of books. A recent report，which examined in detail the reading habits of primary-school children．showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read. Girls，in general，read more，and far more girls than boys preferred reading stories. Boys were showing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture stories，or else books about their hobbies．These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls read more in general，but more fiction in particular .You could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction：magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their early teens，and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult women’s magazines．Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies：motorcycles，heavytransport and to on．Adult reading tastes are also the subject of research．Again the number of women who read for pleasure is considerably higher than the number of men. It seems that the majority of women still want love stories．There has also been some analysis of what men actually read Apparently only 38 percent of men read anything，but 50 percent of what they read is fiction in the form of action-packed(内容丰富有趣的)stories of space or gunmen33. What has the recent research into children’s reading show?A. Children begin to read very fast at an early ageB. Children examine in detail what they read at schoolC．Children can read clearly in primary schoo1．D. Children form their reading tastes by the time they are seven34. If w e have a close look at the reading habits ofboys and girls we’ll find that_______A .girls are more interested in fiction than boysB. girls are more interested in action-packed stories than boysC .boys read much more than girlsD．boys have no interest in fiction35 .It can be inferred from the passage that_________．A．boys change their reading tastes more often than girlsB．people usually do not change their reading tastes when they grow upC．boys and girls form their reading habits by reading magazinesD. people have no definite(确切的)reading tastes第二节(共5小题;每一小题2分，总分为10分)Organizing Your TimeYou can set a budget for your time just as you can set a budget for your money.

He eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car. According to the police report, the case was closed "because of mistaken car identity", Anderson wasn't charged.Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the "thief".

The national college entrance exam, known as the “Gaokao” has been used to evaluate Chinese students for three decades. The Ministry of Education has worked out a plan for reforming exams and enrollment. Tests will be held several times a year to allow students to choose when and how often they sit the exam so as to reduce study pressure and change China’s once-in-a-lifetime exam system.The decision has aroused a heated discussion among Shanghai educators and parents who doubted the reform would reduce the burden of learning English or if the substitute testcould reflect a student’s English skills and help students learn English better.“ As far as I see, t he reform doesn’t mean English is no longer important for Chinese students after it will be excluded from the unified college entrance exam,” Yu said. “In a way, English is even more important than before since the test would only serve as reference, while every college and university, even every major, can have different requirements of a student’s English skills under a diverse evaluation system. ”Yu said some students will have their study pressure reduced if the major they choose doesn’t need excellent English while others still need to study hard if they want to be among the best students.The education ministry said the reform would not affect students attending the college entrance exam over the next three years.28.

English shouldn’t be removed from China’s college entrance examC. the reform may accomplish the very oppositeD. Western educational system does not apply to China30. What does the passage try to express in the underlined sentence?A. Students need n’t la y a good foundation during the period of high school.B. Whether students should study English hard may depend on their major.C. Students can constantly strive for perfection only in their major.D. English must be close to full mark.31. What’s the purpose of the pass age?A. To advise students not to devote themselves to English.B. To call on Education Department to remove English from “Gaokao”.C.

When parents learn that their child has hearing loss, they are faced with many difficult decisions. These decisions can include choosing therapies and schools, as well as finding financial help for hearing aids or cochlear implants (人工耳蜗).Help Me Hear Foundation is a public charity that gives the gift of hearing to deaf children from families existing on very low incomes around the world.Help Me Hear Foundation believes that a child’s first years of development are critical. Being able to hear is vital to human, and Help Me Hear Foundation seeks to provide a positive lasting impression on society through its programs.Recipients of Help Me Hear Foundation’s benefits receive state-of-the-art hearing devices that otherwise would cost thousands of dollars per child over the course of theirlifetime. The Foundation raises money through donations for hearing aids and cochlear implants, which saves recipients and their families on average over $50,000 on related expenses.The Foundation tries to be a transparent charity, and wants to be a catalyst for allowing deaf and hearing-impaired children to develop in a typical fashion alongside their peers.Needy families can obtain information on specific services, and find out about deafness education by visiting the Help Me Hear Foundation’s website.

We have no 42 on the plane. We have a generator(发电机), and we are going to 43 the engines with it. We will 44 in the air and head to Norfolk, and see what happens. ”See what happens? We are going to get up in the air, and see what happens? At this point, one woman started crying. “Oh, no! We are going to 45 ！” There were sighs of 46 and anxiety quickly spreading throughout the plane, and we hadn't even 47 yet. Thirty minutes passed and we were still 48 there.

APaparazzi is an Italian word referred to photographers who take pictures of famous people when they are not at the center of pub lic attention. It is also called “paps”. Paps are different from professional photographers or journalists because they never take ordinary photos.The goal for paparazzi is to get pictures that no one else will get and then sell the pictures to the buyer who offers the most money — normally a small newspaper, magazine or website.There is no law against paparazzi taking pictures in public places. However, there are laws that protect certain individuals. For example, child protection laws stop improper pictures of anyone under 16 from being published.There is also no law that stops paparazzi from following celebrities (名人) and taking their pictures either. However, if paps are secretly following them and taking pictures of their faces, they could get into trouble.Most paparazzi hang out on streets and hot spots for celebrities, waiting for the opportunity to take a picture of a star. Many stay on the streets until the early hours of the morning when celebrities are leaving nightclubs and looking a little worse for wear. However, some have other ways to make sure they get pictures. Many paps are in contact with “informers” who know the locations of celebrities at any given time. They then pass the information on to paparazzi. An informer could be anyone — from a restaurant waiter to a salesman.Most of the time, paparazzi get a bad reputation for following celebrities. But sometimes stars or their managers will contact paps themselves and tell them exactly where and when they will go.What a love-hate relationship between paparazzi and celebrities!21.Which of the following things paparazzi might do would be against the law?A. Taking pictures of famous people in public places.B. Hanging out at the places where celebrities often appear.C. Getting unsuitable pictures of a 10-year-old actress published.D. Following a famous woman singer secretly and taking her pictures.22.In order to earn a large amount of money, a pap has to ________.A. know the locations of celebritiesB. make friends with famous peopleC. sell the pictures to a big newspaperD. get the only first-hand pictures of celebrities23.The fifth paragraph mainly tells us ________.A. how paparazzi contact informersB. how dangerous paparazzi’s job isC. how paparazzi get the pictures of famous peopleD. how much paparazzi pay for the pictures of celebrities24.What can we infer from the passage?A. Informers might get paparazzi into trouble.B. Stars hate paparazzi and don’t want to be followed.C. Paparazzi always take pictures when famous people are tired.D. In some cases, paparazzi and famous people rely on each other.BWell-written reviews of books, music, movies, and other products can arouse people’s interest. When writing a review, concentrate on exactly what you lik e or don’t like. Give examples of strengths and weaknesses, be descriptive and provide background information on an author, director, actor or musician, if possible. Find professional reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topic, but be sure to express your own voice in your review.Grammar Hint for Reviews: When describing a book, movie, album or anything else, use the present tense.Book ReviewsDiscuss an author’s technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focus ing on the plot. Does the story flow? Is there a strong sense of character and place? Did you stay up until dawn to finish it? Is it good reading for teenagers? What influence did it have on you and why? If you’ve read other books by the same author, discu ss how this book compares. Movie ReviewsThink of the major Oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting, etc. Do these work together? Did some hold up while others didn’t? If the movie is based on a book, discuss whether one is better than the other and why. If the movie is a remake, compare the film to its original.Remember that a well-written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. Some readers may not have seen a movie yet, so don’t give away an exciting scene or the ending! College ReviewsBegin by providing an overview of the college, including location, size and a description of the campus and/or dorm life. Think about all aspects of your college visit. What academic, athletic and after-class programs are available? What are the students like? What makes the college different from others? Every school has strengths and weaknesses. Be objective. Consider what the school has to offer and who might enjoy or benefit the most from attending it.25. When writing a review, you ________.A. cannot refer to any previous reviewB. must express your own views and opinionsC. must provide some information about the authorD. needn’t give any examples to support your views26. Which aspects should be included in all three reviews?A. Programs and scenes.B. Plot and character.C. Strengths and weaknessesD.Location and description.27. Where can you probably find the passage?A. In a personal diary.B. In an official report.C. In a popular magazine.D. In a tourist guidebook.CIn most cases, there is only one correct answer to a question. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter— a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter— a person who made pots and pans.The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. T he Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added–s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnel ls and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.28. Which of the following aspects are NOT covered in the surnames of the passage?A. People’s characters.B. People’s occupations.C. Places where people lived.D. Talents that people possessed.29. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.A. owned or drove a cartB. made things with metalsC. built houses and furnitureD. made kitchen tools or containers30. Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.A. Beatrice SmithB. Leonard CarterC. Donald GreenwoodD. George Longstreet31. The underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a person’s _____.A. ancestorsB. later generationsC. friends and relativesD. colleagues and partnersDLet’s read the descriptions of the following scenes of shopping. A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk. That is all— milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk. She buys it. But, she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. Then she remembers to buy food for her son to eat at school. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husband's niece. Then she gets coffee for breakfast, ice cream for dessert and remembers stamps to mail the bills. And don't forget soap for the bathroom.And that is the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a grocery store. Generally speaking，men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Doing many things at one time is often called “multi-tasking”, a very popular word these days.Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. A recent study has confirmed what we have known all along—men and women think differently.Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain, or hemisphere. In the female brain, they found more activities and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”. The right hemisphere is known as the “creative” side.Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She co-wrote the report. She says when women are asked to do something difficult, they might use different parts of the brain. Men, she adds, generally use just one side of the brain.As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. There is a strong connection between the “understanding” and the “action” parts of their brains. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with reason and the part connected with sensitivity when solving a problem. Women take a less direct path to find a solution.Dr. Verma warns that the study should not lead anyone to expect some behaviors from women and others from men.32. By describing the scene of shopping, the writer wants to ____ .A. criticize women's wasted living expensesB. illustrate men and women's different brainsC. think highly of women's considerate behaviorD. reveal men and women's preference of living expenses33. When asked to deal with a problem, _____ .A. men tend to take action straightB. women tend to take action straightC. women tend to use a single part of the brainD. men tend to use connected parts of the brain34. Dr. Verma's warning indicates that _____ .A. women and men can hardly cooperate wellB. w omen and men can hardly complete multitasksC. women and men can hardly learn from each otherD. neither women nor men can always perform the same behavior35. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Reason or SensitivityB. Multi-tasking or Single-taskingC. “Reason” Brain or “Creative” BrainD. Costly Shopping or Economical Shopping 第二节: （共5小题；每小题 2分，满分 10分）36 We are learning from life constantly, as long as we recognize and acceptthose lessons. When you choose to be a student of life, you open yourself to limitless opportunities.Explore the world.Don’t limit yourself to your hometown or to the city you got your first job. 37 It doesn’t have to be just one town or one apartment complex.Backpacking may not be for everyone, but it’s the only way you can see the world.Travelling doesn’t just have to be going overseas but also dropping by many states.Culture exists not just in a country but even in small communities.Acquire new life skills.Maybe it’s time that you finally l earn how to fix a brokenfaucet or even fix the faulty light in your bathroom. You can finally cross out your bucket list items that have been there forever. Learn how to drive a car or ride a bike.There are definitely things you don’t know how to do, and you have a lifetime ahead of you to learn. 38Be cultured. Watch as many movies and read as many books as possible. And it doesn’t mean that you only watch the ones with high ratings from critics. Books and movies are the fruit of the writers’ or the makers’ life experiences and understanding of their surroundings. Movies and books are a good look into how people interpret the world.39 For some individuals, to grow older means to keep your circle of friendsdown to a few, but that sho uldn’t stop you from meeting new people. Widen your circle by allowing people into your life and letting them get to know you. Widening your circle to people from all walks of life gives you a bigger and better perspective of the world.Do many first's. When was the last time you did something for the first time?40 . It can be as simple as watching a movie alone or as big as trying bungee jumping.Doing something for the first time doesn’t need to have a life-changing effect. It can be a simple realization that apparently, going to a film screening by yourself isn’t so bad.So, there are so much more to learn, especially now that we’re virtually connected to everyone in the world. As a student of life, it’s really up to you to use all your resources and make it into something enriching.A. Widen your circle.B. Entertain yourself.C. Lessons are not limited to our academic studies.D. It’s never too late to start learning something new.E. You don’t always need a deep understanding for everyth ing you do.F. Go beyond the place you consider home, because home can be many places.G. If you can’t think of the answer, maybe you need to go out and try something new.第一节完形填空（共20小题，每题1.5 分，满分 30分）I live in a big city with a lot of homeless people.

AOne day a student was walking with his teacher in the countryside．As they went along，they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path．They were a pool farmer’s，who was working in the nearby field．The student turned to the teacher saying：“We will hide his shoes，and hide ourselves behind those trees，and wait to see what he will do”“My young friend．”answered the teacher,“we should never make fun of the poor. Why not put a coin in each shoe，and then we will hide ourselves and watch?”The student did so and they both hid themselves behind the trees. The poor man soon finished his work，and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes.After putting on his coat，he put his foot into one of his shoes，and felt something hard．Then he bent (弯腰) down to feel what it was，and found the coin. Surprised，he looked at the coin，turned it around and looked at it again．He then looked around，but no person was seen．He put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe. His surprise was doubled on finding the other coin．He couldn’t control his feelings and fell to his knees，looked up to the sky and expressed his thanks. Then he spoke of his wife，sick and helpless，and his children without bread．He said the help would save them from dying.The student stood there deeply moved，and his eyes filled with tears．“Now,”said the teacher, “Are you not much happier than if you had hidden the shoes?”21.

When the farmer saw the second coin, he______A. was surprised and decided to find the ownerB. was worried and looked up at the skyC．was very excited and grateful D．spoke of his difficulties and asked for more help 24 .What can we learn from the passage?A．True happiness comes from helping others． B .All good things come to an endC. Where there is a will，there is awayD. It is never too late to learnBI work in a nursing home and my job is to take care of the elderly．This year, a very sweet old lady that I cared for，Alice, had gone through a difficult time .She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice .In November I was finally able to get her back to her“home”．Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days. When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen，she was very sad．Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy，I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!On Christmas Eve，I gave her a surprise by asking if she could like to go to a candlelight service at church that nightInstead of taking her to my church，I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were. We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in．Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her．The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there.The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift: the smile on Alice’s face25.The underlined word“dementia”in Paragraph 2 probably is_______A．a house B．a letter C．an illness D．a plan26. Where did Alice spend her Christmas Eve according to the story?A. In her old houseB. In her old neighborhood church．C．In the nursing home． D. In the hospital．27. What was the best gift that the author got on Christmas Eve?A．The candlelight service． B．Praise from Alice’s friends．C．Alice’s happiness D．Thanks from Alice’ s daughter．28．What is the best title for this passage?A．A special candlelight Christmas Eve B．The dream of all old lonely ladyC．My special job D . The true loveCIn a computer age，a broadband Internet connection is very popular now．Whether cable or mobile broadband，today’s connections are many times faster than those in the early days. Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly，and files download much faster than ten years ago．And the files are much bigger too．There’s a hidden problem：You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don’t，it's slow dial-up access for you. And for those living really far out，there may be no Internet access at a11．Technology experts often talk about the “last mile” problem， which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations．In cities and suburbs(郊区)，it's relatively easy to provide access for everyone．It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities，especially in developing countries．Internet service providers．for their part，have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely(稀疏地)populated areas．The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn’t cover the expense.But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren’t available everywhere．Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper more efficient fiber optics cables(光纤电缆)promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users．Still．the“last mile”problem remains hard to deal with．There will always be somewhere that doesn’t have an affordable broadband connection．But someday that might not matter．If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication，it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Internet connections have been popular everywhere．B．Internet service providers are willing to care about rural(农村的)customers．C. The problem of Internet access hasn’t been completely dealt withD. Computer can’t become popular in developing countries．30.Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that technological advancements_______.A．make TV and telephone available everywhereB．bring great change to people’s everyday lifeC. bring faster Internet connections to usersD. make it possible for more people to use the Internet31．What may eventually settle the“last mile”problem?A. The broadband connection’s getting faster．B．The rapid progress in cell phone technology．C．More and more Internet connections．D. More and more Internet users32. The best title for this passage may be________．A．Internet Connection Problems B．Internet Connections Need ImprovingC. Progress in Internet Connections D．Internet Connections TodayDA good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young people，and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kind of books. A recent report，which examined in detail the reading habits of primary-school children．showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read. Girls，in general，read more，and far more girls than boys preferred reading stories. Boys were showing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture stories，or else books about their hobbies．These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls read more in general，but more fiction in particular .You could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction：magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their early teens，and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult women’s magazines．Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies：motorcycles，heavy transport and to on．Adult reading tastes are also the subject of research．Again the number of women who read for pleasure is considerably higher than the number of men. It seems that the majority of women still want love stories．There has also been some analysis of what men actually read Apparently only 38 percent of men read anything，but 50 percent of what they read is fiction in the form of action-packed(内容丰富有趣的)stories of space or gunmen33. What has the recent research into children’s reading show?A. Children begin to read very fast at an early ageB. Children examine in detail what they read at schoolC．Children can read clearly in primary schoo1．D. Children form their reading tastes by the time they are seven34. If we have a close look at the reading habits of boys and girls we’ll find that_______A .girls are more interested in fiction than boysB. girls are more interested in action-packed stories than boysC .boys read much more than girlsD．boys have no interest in fiction35 .It can be inferred from the passage that_________．A．boys change their reading tastes more often than girlsB．people usually do not change their reading tastes when they grow upC．boys and girls form their reading habits by reading magazinesD. people have no definite(确切的)reading tastes第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)Organizing Your TimeYou can set a budget for your time just as you can set a budget for your money. Since you’re trying to reduce worry rather than increase it，go into this process with a focus on maximizing(使…最大化)your personal time，rather than cramming(塞满) as much as you can into each day.● Set a sleep schedule 36 Give yourself a one-hour target window for bedtime in the evening，and set a strict time to get up in the morning．Be sure that the space between your bedtime and the start of your day gives you roughly an hour more than the amount of sleep you actually need．37●Take care of tasks at the same time every day. Plan time for daily health care，commuting(乘公交下上班)，work，shopping，eating，and chores(家务).Add in time for anything else you do most days，such as homework，exercise，or an active hobby. 38 All the time left over is your free time，to use for relaxation or whatever else you want．● 39 For example，you might plan to go, dropping on your way home from work, to save the extra tripFor many people，an irregular work schedule make this kind of budgeting difficult．40A. However, you can still plan to work around your schedule in the same order every day．B．Stick to it，even on weekendsC．Try to combine trips outside the home to maximize your free timeD．Different days call for different approaches．E．Therefore．you won’t lay down and start worrying about whether or not you’ll fall asleep on time．F．Sit comfortably and focus on your breathing until the rest of your thoughts become quiet.G．Put them in a specific order that works for you第一节完形填空(共20小题：每小题1．5分，满分30分)In an old city of Hungary, there used to be a boy who was very rich and clever but nothing could make him feel happy．He had almost everything a boy could ever want，so he was only 41 in the most rare objects.
