2014届各区二模英语试卷阅读理解(C篇14套)Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words:(1)We are now living in the modern city. Most of the energy which we are using for heating lighting, transportation and manufacturing (工业生产) is from fossil fuels (化石燃料). These are carbon-based (碳基燃料) fuels from oils, coal and natural gas. When we burn these fuels we release (释放) heat which p___1____ the energy.There are three major disadvantages to using these fuels. Firstly, they are causing climate problems because of the g___2____ effect. When we burn fossil fuels they produce carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) which causes global warming. Secondly, when we have used up all our coal, oil and natural gas, we will have n___3____ left to burn. Thirdly, they are not very efficient. The internal combustion engine that we use in most cars, trucks and buses, for example, is only about 14% efficient.Scientists are working on an alternative (替代的) fuel—hydrogen (氢). There are a number of advantages to using hydrogen as a fuel. Firstly, because two thirds of the e___4____surface is water and water is made of hydrogen and oxygen (氧). There is an almost unlimited (无限的) supply of hydrogen. Secondly, burning hydrogen does not cause global warming. Thirdly it is much more efficient than carbon-based fuels.Unfortunately there are problems with hydrogen at the present time: there is the problem of separating it from water c___5____, if it is too expensive, we can not afford to use it; and there is the difficulty of storing it. It can be stored under pressure but high pressure tanks are far from sage. It can also be stored as a liquid but only at extremely(非常)low temperatures. It seems likely, therefore, that there will have to be completely new technologies before hydrogen replaces fossil fuels. S___6____ these problems is an urgent matter. Although China, India and Australia have huge quantities(大量)of cheap coal, and there are still l___7____ oil and gas reserves(储备)elsewhere, the e ffects on the planet’s climate will be catastrophic(灾难性的)if they are used.1. p______________2. g________________3. n_____________4. e_____________5. c____________6.

Here are three important jobs behind the scenes.Makeup artist: Making characters look believableThe makeup artist’s work sounds simple. But it’s more than just making the lead actress look beautiful. If the hero gets a cut on his face, the makeup artist creates that cut, and it has to look e____2____ the same tomorrow. And the special makeup for a monster or a space alien can take six hours! Sometimes makeup artists have only fifteen minutes to p____3____ twenty actors for a crowd scene. Their work must always be careful and good, so you don’t notice it when you watch the movie.Special effects coordinator (协调人): Making impossible things look realAfter a movie, people often ask, ―How did they do that?‖In films, people can fly, dinosaurs walk through cities, and spaceships travel to other p____4_____ in outer space. These are all the work of the special effects coordinator. Some special effects, especially in science fiction movies, are made with computers. O___5____ are made by machines, which can make a rainy day or a snowy night at any time of the year. Fires and explosions in movies are all created with special effects.Foley artist: Creating the sounds of the cinemaThink of your favourite scary movie and its sounds – footsteps, loud rain, and creaking doors. All of these are the work of Foley artist. Many sounds can’t be recorded d_____6____ the filming of a movie, so Foley artists p___7____ them in their studios (工作室). They create the wounds of a fight scene, and the wind, rain, and thunder in the background. In a Foley artist’s studio, there are even special floor recording different kinds of footsteps.Next time you see a movie, look for these names in the credits.1. f______________2. e____________3. p___________4. p____________5. ___________6. d_____________7. p_____________Key:1. f amous2. e xactly3. p repare4. p lanets5.

A short distance ahead of me was a mom and her three-year-old daughter. The little girl was holding a string that was attached to a helium balloon(氢气球).All of a sudden, a strong w 1 took the balloon from the little girl. I thought she would scream and c 2 .But, no! As the little girl turned to watch her balloon rise into the sky, she h 3 shouted: ―Wow!‖I didn’t realize it at that moment, but that little girl had taught me something.Later that day, I r 4 a phone call from a person with news of an unexpected problem. I felt like saying:―Oh no, what should we do?‖ But thinking of that little girl, I found myself saying: ―Wow, that’s interesti ng! How can I help you?‖ One thing is for sure---life is always going to put us off balance with things we don’t expect. However, how we respond(反应) to them is our c 5 .

But a lot of my friends did very l 1 work. Some just did enough to pass the exam. Others didn’t do quite enough. Fred Braines was such a student. He spent more time drinking in the T 2 House than working in the library.Once at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in Chinese. The test had 100 questions. Beside each question we had to write ―True‖ or ―False‖. While I was studying in my room, Fred was watching TV. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he looked very e 3__ . Then he told me of his idea.―It’s very simple. There are 100 questions and I have to get 50 right to pass the test. I will take a coin into the examination room. I haven’t studied a Chinese book for months, so I will toss the coin. In this way, I’m sure I’ll get h 4 of the questions right.‖The next day, Fred came happily into the examination room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour, he wrote down his answers. Then he left, half an hour b 5 the rest of us.The next day, Fred met his Chinese teacher at the school gate. ―Oh, good,‖ he said. ―I am sure you have got the r 6 of the test. Did I pass the test?‖The teacher looked at him and smiled, ―Ah, it’s you, Braines. Just a minute.‖ Then the teacher reached his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught in his hand and looked at it. ― I am sorry, Braines, you f 7 !‖1. l______________2.

(7)The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge. The dark night air was cold and slightly wet, and he could see nobody walking on the street.Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on the pavement. When he reached the middle of the bridge, he thought he could hear someone coming near b 1 him. He looked back but could see no one. However, the sound continued and Frank began to walk more quickly. Then he slowed down again, feeling ashamed at having acted so foolishly. There was n 2 to fear in a town as quiet as this.Just then, he heard short, quick steps. By the time he reached the other side of the bridge, he could almost feel someone at his heels. He turned round and there stood a man dressed in a large overcoat. A hat was pulled down over his eyes and very l 3 of his face could be seen. Frank said something about the weather, trying to sound friendly and c 4 . The man did not answer but asked rudely where Oakfield House was.

He knew that the people who lived there were very rich. Almost without realizing what he was, he began following the stranger q 6 . The man didn’t notice him at all. Soon the man was outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the windows. A l 7 was still on and the man waited until it went out. When about half an hour had passed, Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall and heard him drop onto the ground at the other side.Now Frank realized what was going to happen. He walked quickly and silently across the street towards a telephone box on the corner.1. b_______________2. n______________3. l____________4. c______________5. w______________6. q_______________7. l_______________Key:1.behind2. nothing3. little4. calm5. wondered6. quietly7. light/lampHave you seen the latest Hollywood movie Sherlock Holmes?Holmes is a character created by British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

ActiveThe sports utility vehicle (SUV多用途车辆) was invented in the early 1990s. It quickly became very popular in the United States. There are several r 1 for this. It is larger than most of cars. It can carry lots of people, bicycles, toys, dogs and other things. This makes it popular with families. It also has four doors and a big back door, so getting in or out is e 2 . Since an SUV is taller than most cars, the driver can see above other cars and have a better sight of the road. With a lot more p 3 , an SUV can go faster than most cars. It can also go on very rough roads where other cars cannot go.The SUV is popular with many people, but other people do not like these cars. First, they are larger than most other cars. This means that drivers of other cars may not be able to see the road w 4 . Also, SUVs are very heavy. If an SUV gets into an accident with a small car, the small car may be in s 5 trouble. Another problem with SUVs is that they are very expensive. They are expensive to buy --- about 50 percent more expensive than an average small car. They are also expensive to use, since they use a lot more gasoline (汽油) than smaller cars.There are two ways to solve these problems. One way is to change the way we think about them. Now they are sold as large cars. In the future, maybe they should be sold as trucks. Then people with just a car license could not d 6 them. They would have to get a truck license. These licenses are more expensive and difficult to get, so p 7 fewer people would buy SUVs. The other way to solve SUV problems is to make them differently. Some people think that car companies should make big SUVs smaller and less dangerous. They should also make SUVs with less powerful engines. Then they would not use so much gasoline.1. r_____________2. e_______________3. p______________4. w____________5. s_______________6. d_____________7. p______________Key:1. reasons2. easier/easy3. power4. well5. serious6. drive7. probably/perhapsLibraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and to learn. For more than 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans’ e 1 . But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.Benjamin Franklin famously founded America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its b 2 development in the American history in the late 1800’s. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated (捐赠) millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations helped build 1,679 new libraries.Carnegie believed in the chances that libraries could o 3 Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have access(接触的机会)to books, lectures, news and more.Chances are that there is a public library in or near your c 4 . You can easily find one close to your home. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven out of ten libraries have free Internet. This opens many doors for people who cannot go online at home,i 5 the opportunity to apply for jobs online.Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images from the story h 6 . Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.Benjamin Franklin once said, ―The doors of wisdom are never s7 .‖ As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!1. e_____________2. b_______________3. o______________4. c____________5. i_______________6. h_____________7. s______________Key:1. education2.biggest3.offer4. community5. including6.happily7. shutI didn’t think I had a passion (激情).

He w 5 it on something he doesn’t need.‖―Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important things. We need happiness, too.‖That man must c 6 enough music to buy a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that happiness is the k 7 to life.Without it, there’s nothing to look forward to.

东北三省三校2014届高三第二次模拟考试英语试题及答案
东北三省三校2014年高三第二次联合模拟考试(哈师大附中、东北师大附中、辽宁实验中学)英语试题第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中(A、B、C和D),选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AI’ve often wondered if I might do more good as a travel agent rather than as a psychologist. It seems that I have been more dramatically affected by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever have.My trip to Iceland is a fine example of that. The plan was to spend two days in a remote mountain hut in Iceland. I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of this amazing region of high mountain peaks, smoky volcanoes, and lakes with floating icebergs.The moment after we arrived, the weather turned extreme making visibility impossible. It snowed so much and the wind bl ew so hard that we couldn’t leave the tiny hut. To stay warm, we walked around in circles much of the day inside the tiny hut. We tried to call for help but the radio did not work. Day after day, we watched our supplies of food and fuel grow dangerously short. We got acute cabin fever (幽居病) and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside. Even when the weather finally broke, nobody came to get us even though it was three days beyond our scheduled pickup. By the time the rescue team came to pull us out, we had all given up hope.From then on, the world looks different to me, as does my life. It would have taken me years of psychotherapy to get to the same point.Almost everyone has a story to tell, and interestingly, most of these experiences were not altogether pleasant at the time. In fact, it appears that the most constructive life-changing journeys were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to develop new resources, increase confidence, and solve problems in new ways.21. The writer went to Iceland to ______.A. enjoy the natural beautiful floating icebergsB. take photos about the region for a bookC. collect materials for psychological researchD. challenge the high mountains there22. During the trip in Iceland, those travelers faced difficulties EXCEPT that ______.A. they got lost in the mountainB. they were short of food and fuelC. they couldn’t see the surroundings clearlyD. they failed to get in touch with the rescue team23. From Paragraph 3, we learn that the travelers ______.A. were in despair before they were rescuedB. stayed in the hut for three days altogetherC. got sick because of going for ski outsideD. got rescued immediately the weather turned fine24. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The writer is a travel agent who loves difficult challenges.B. In Iceland the weather is always extreme and it snows a lot.C. The travellers were so depressed that they needed psychotherapy.D. Awful journeys may become life-changing events that inspire people.BOne of India’s top engineering schools has restricted Internet access in its boarding houses, saying addiction to surfing, gaming and blogging was affecting students’ performance, making them lonely and even suicidal.Authorities at the best Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them. “Now, a student doesn’t even know who lives two doors away from him because he is so busy on the Internet,” said Prakash Gopalan, dean of Student Affairs. “The old dormitory culture of companionship and socializing among students is gone. This is not healthy in our opinion.”IIT-Mumbai, with about 5,000 students, is one of the seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world. They are also a talent pool for global technology giants. But their hard courses, tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students. Depressive and dysfunctional lifestyles are known to be common among IIT students, and at least nine have committed suicide inthe past five years. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their boarding houses to help them in their studies, but many also use it to surf, chat, download movies and music, blog and for gaming.“Starting Monday, Internet access will be banned between 11 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. at IITMumbai’s 13 boarding buildings to encourage students to sl eep early and to try and force them out of their shells.” Gopalan said. But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated. “Now they will say we need to listen to a lullaby (摇篮曲) to go to sleep.” said Rajiv, an electronics student.25. According to the text, the students addicted to the Internet in IIT-Mumbai are likely to ______.A. perform well in studiesB. participate in social activitiesC. know their classmates betterD. feel lonely and even suicidal26. The underlined word “dysfunctional” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “______”.A. unpopularB. meaningfulC. abnormalD. exciting27. What measures have been taken in IIT-Mumbai?A. Students must go to bed before 11 p.m.B. Students are forbidden to surf the Internet on campus.C. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their dormitories.D. Internet access is unavailable in deep night in boarding buildings.28. We may infer from the last paragraph that ______.A. all electronics students hate the banning orderB. some students complain about the banning orderC. there is no Internet access on the IIT campus ever sinceD. more students prefer listening to music to surfing the InternetCWell, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way.It may sound risky, so many teens stay wi thin their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.“I think the digital connection of y oung people is really key, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so they’ve been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College.The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退), allowing people to access more goods, services using technology and even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isn’t the car any more because there’s technology out there connecting you to a car.”According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license compared to six in ten today. So it’s not that surprisin g that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license but an iPhone.“Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.” Schor continued.To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.29. The American teens like me, prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift because _______.A. it is most fashionable and coolB. they are bored with driving carsC. they are fond of being connectedD. it is much cheaper than a car30. We can learn from the text that _______.A. Twitter is a website for teens to make friends and achieve goalsB. ridesharing can be seen as a sign that people still count on each otherC. driving cars for teens means a plus and connecting with technologyD. having a car and cost-sharing symbolize more fre edom for the author’s mother31. Professor Juliet would agree that _______.A. young people will sit waiting to be contacted by reading a passageB. sharing economy is bound to be responsible for the recessionC. young people tend to share a car with strangers by means of TwitterD. being connected via technology comes first for young people32. The best title for the passage is probably _______.A. Twitter, an Awesome WebsiteB. Cars or iPhoneC. Teens Use Twitter to Thumb RidesD. Cool Teens on the GoDNews that Microsoft made a $44.6 billion bid to buy Yahoo resulted in heated discussions made by many Internet users. Here are some responses:Diane Burke of Weeks bury, KentuckyI think it would definitely be an interesting combination. Everyone recognizes the names Yahoo and Microsoft, but everyone also says, “Did you Google it?” Such a catchphrase (时髦话) is going to be hard to beat. Shaun Carney of Laurelville, OhioI think the merger (合并) will provide more competitions for Google. I don’t think the merger will allow Microsoft to develop faster than Google, though. I believe the increased competition this merger brings will force Google to stay on top of its game by offering more fresh and original Internet tools and expanding on the tools it already offers.Toni Suarez of Hacienda Heights, CaliforniaI view the merger as a necessary element in preventing a monopolization (垄断). Perhaps it would bring better high technology innovations to e-mail and help in researching and developing a better Internet!Rick R. of Edgewater, FloridaIt sounds like a disaster to me. If this were to happen, I would stop using my Yahoo e-mail account because I don’t like the feeling of Microsoft spying upon my business. I will sign up for Google.Antonio Glosser of Kansas City, MissouriRight now, Yahoo offers a lot of features and tools at no cost for all different levels of Internet users. Micr osoft seeks nothing but profit. Undoubtedly, they’ll do nothing other than find ways to start removing Yahoo’s formerly non-priced features. Microsoft’s greed will ruin the great thing that Yahoo currently is.33. How many companies are mentioned in the passage?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.34. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Shaun’s attitude towards Google is passive.B. Toni believes the Internet will have a promising future.C. Rick will support Google after the merger.D. Antonio is afraid that the merger will cost Yahoo’s free features.35. The passage is mainly about ______.A. opinions on the merger of Yahoo and MicrosoftB. the strengths of Yahoo and MicrosoftC. the strengths and weaknesses of large companiesD. the future of Yahoo and Microsoft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。

哈尔滨市重点中学2014-2015年高一4月月考英语试题及答案
高一英语下册四月份月考试卷I. 阅读理解(共40分,每小题2分)第一节AMy mom just bought me a new bike. Since my cousin Mary didn‟t have a bike with her, she walked next to me. I thought that Mary would jump on the luggage carrier (行李架) over the back tire when I was riding. Mom knew exactly what I was thinking. “Don‟t ride the bike with Mary on the back,” she said. “It‟s too dangerous. You could kill yourself. Take turns.”I nodded, but I was thinking I could handle this. A few minutes later, I turned right to a wide road. “Jump on the back,” I told Mary. I rode fast, laughing as the wind blew through our hair. It was exciting, until the handlebar (车把) started shaking. The front tire dropped into a drain (下水道) and I fell off the bike, still holding the handlebar.My face, hands, and knees crashed into the pa vement. The pain in my mouth was unbearable, and I tasted blood. I turned towards Mary who was on the ground, holding her knee and crying. Seconds later, it seemed that my mom‟s car stopped next to us. I wanted Mom to say, “Oh, my poor sweetheart. Let me hug you and everything will be fine.”However, my mom only said, “What have you done to your face? Vanessa,look at what you‟ve done!” Mom wasn‟t the gentle “I love you, sweetie” type.Sometimes, I thought Mom had no mercy. But in her own way, she was holding me tighter than I could understand —she was teaching me the lesson I needed. “You did i t — deal with it and learn from it. One day, the consequences (后果) will be greater and I won‟t be there to help you. Think it out, Vanessa.”1. We can learn from the text that .A. Vanessa fell because she didn‟t hold the handlebarB. Vanessa and Mary rode the bike by turnsC. Vanessa was blown down by the heavy windD. Vanessa and Mary were all injured2. In the author‟s opinion, her mother .A. was always gentle to herB. encouraged her all the timeC. was cold sometimesD. didn‟t care about her at all3. What‟s the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Vanessa‟s mother was strict with her.B. Vanessa understood her mother‟s love.C. Vanessa‟s mother would leave her.D. Vanessa wasn‟t eager for her mom‟s hug any more.BGreen is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. A greenhorn is someone who has no experience. who is new to a situation. But in the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose home had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today--a person who is new in a job.Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds. A person, with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.The green-eyed monster is not a nightening creature from outer space, It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play Othello." It describes the unpleasant feeling a person haswhen someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not.In most places in the world, a green light is a signal to move ahead. A green light on a traffic signal means your car can continue on. In everyday speech, a green light means approval to continu e with a project.4 . How many expressions including "green" are mentioned in the passage?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.5. What does "a greenhorn" mean now?A. A person who has rich job experience.B. A soldier who has not yet any experience in battle.C. A young cow or ox whose horns have not yet developed.D. A person who is a green hand without any experience.6. Which expression can be used if your friend is good at growing plants?A. A green thumb.B. A green light.C. A greenhornD. The green-eyed monster.7. What will make you suffer from the green-eyed monster?A. You meet a frightening g creature.B. You watch the play "Othello";C. Your girlfriend dates with your friend.D. You get a pay raise.CIt is said that a person has about 6,000 thoughts every day. Yet, of the 6,000 thoughts you have today, ninety percent of these are the same as the 6,000 you had yesterday and the day before, leaving little room for new thoughts. No wonder life can seem tedious at times. Unless you start to think differently, you are to continue to create and repeat the same old reality every day. Is it not time to change your thoughts, e nliven your dreams and let reality catch up?Most of our thoughts and actions are habits, and we go thought the same motions each day, with little change in our behaviors or outlook. What would happen if you challenged these habits or customs? What if you were to step out of your comfort zone and explore new ideas or new ways or doing things? Would your life not change as a result?Thought is a form of energy. Does this energy keep you forward or hold you back? You have a choice about the thoughts you think. How many times in the past have you chosen to disregard your positive thoughts and focus on your negative(消极的) thoughts? At this moment, if you were to be at ease and to focus on your positive thoughts while discounting your negative thoughts, how would your life change?To realize your dreams, pay attention to what is happening around you. Be curious. Notice how your thoughts about yourself, your thoughts about others and your thoughts about what others may be thinking of you influence and what you are able to achieve. Start to think, see and experience things, people, places and events in new ways. Recognize what happens when you begin to think differently about yourself and what you are capable of achieving.8. thoughts per minute you had are the same as yesterday and the day before.A. About 40B. Over 5,400C. About 4D. Over 1009. The best title for the passage would beA. The Power of ThoughtB. Think Before You Take ActionsC. New world Comes From New IdeasD. Never Think of Yourself Only10. The underlined word “tedious” may share the same meaning with “”.A. stupidB. colorfulC. strangeD. boring11. What is the author‟s purpose in writing the passage?A. To tell people some facts of our thoughts.B. To encourage us to change our habit of thinking.C. To tell us why we have no new ideas.D. To remind us of the influence from other.DWhen Joan gave birth to the first boy in her family in three generations, she and her husband were overjoyed. So were her parents. Joan expected her elder sister, Sally, to be just as delighted as them. Joan had always admired Sally--the beauty and the star of the family--and felt happy about her achievements.But since the baby's arrival, the sisters have become distant. Joan feels hurt for Sally seems completely uninterested in her baby. Sally, who has no children, claims that her younger sister "acts as if no one ever had a baby before."Neither Sally nor Joan understands that the real cause of the current coldness is that their family roles have suddenly changed to the opposite. Finally Joan seems to be better than her elder sister--and Sally doesn't like it! Their distance may be temporary, but it shows that childhood competition don't fade easily as ages grow. It can remain powerful in relationships throughout life.In a study of the University of Cincinnati, 65 men and women between ages 25 and 93 were asked how they felt about their brothers and sisters. Nearly 75 percent admitted having hidden competitive feelings. In a few cases, these emotions were so strong as to have affected their entire lives.Many adult brothers and sisters are close, supportive--yet still tend to compete. Two brothers I know turn into killers when on opposite sides of a tennis net. Off the court, they are the best of friends. My own younger sister can't wait to tell me when I've put on weight. However, she's a terrible cook and that pleases me; I tease her when she comes to dinner. Happily, despite these small failings, we have been an important resource for each other.In between the very competitive and the generally supportive children lie those who say that no friendship should survive. Some brothers and siste rs stay at arm's length, but never give up competition completely. Why do these puzzling, unproductive, often painful relationships continue to exist?12. When Joan's son was born, Sally .A. felt very happyB. felt not delightedC. moved awayD. admired her a lot13. What happens to chi ldren's desire to compete with their brothers and sisters?A. It sometimes will disappear when they grow up.B. It will never disappear throughout life.C. It will improve their relationships when they grow up.D. It will never harm their relationships when they grow up.14. Why does the author's sister often tell her when she's put on weight?A. Because she wants the author to go on a diet.B. Because she wants the author to stop calling her a bad cook.C. Because she wants to make fun of the author's weight.D. Because she wants to be honest with the author.15. The underlined sentence means that although some brothers and sisters .A. live near each other, they still have competitionsB. live away from each other, they stop their competitionsC. live together, they often think of ending their competitionsD. live within a big family, they often try to end their competitions第二节七选五Autumn blues? Let the sunshine in.Falling leaves, withering flowers, cold winds, faint sunshine. 16 Spirits can be low.People who suffer from "the autumn blues" often are extremely exhausted, lack energy, need more sleep, feel increased appetite and gain weight."The exact cause of this condition, often called seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder (SAD), is not known yet," says Chen Jue, associate professor at Shanghai Mental Health Center. "But recent studies indicate that weather change is influential and strongly suggest that this condition is caused by changes in the availability of sunlight. "One theory is that with decreased exposure to sunlight, the biological clock that controls mood, sleep, and hormonesis delayed, running more slowly in winter. 17 . Another theory is that brain chemicals that transmit(传输) information between nerves may be changed in individuals with SAD. It is believed that exposure to light can correct these imbalances.“ 18 Remember, spring always lives in your heart," Chen says.Here are some tips to deed with autumn depression.·Go outdoors and get some sunlight. Move around. Fresh air and exercise improve the respiratory(呼吸)system and blood circulation and regulate the nervous system. Thus, exercise is calming and relieves one's mood.·Relax at work. Stretch, breathe deeply. Take a tea break. Think of your next vacation.·19 Chocolate and sugar raise the spirits.·Look at bright colors, such as red and orange. Color therapy improves mood.·Listen to your favorite music. You can dance to it, or just lie on a cozy couch, reading a novel.· 20 Blooming plants are cheering.·Call friends or family when you feel lonely or depressed. Recall some happy memories.A. Exposure to light may reset the biological clock.B. Decorate your room and work space with flowers.C. It is a sad season, but you can try to make it happy.D. That is the way you can use to lighten yourself.E. Keep a chocolate bar in your pocket.F. For many people late autumn can be a season of gloom and depression(抑郁).G. Autumn always gives us a beautiful scene.II.完形填空(共30分,每小题1.5分)Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg.

It was hiring(雇佣)new workers!“Sir, are you hiring people?” I went into the shop and asked. “Yes, but are you the man we need?” the boss replied.

When looking at the photo, some people see it as gold and white, while others see it as blue and black.“Colors can look different to us, depending on what kind of light they’re in, ”said some scientists . “For example, something blue can look very different in sunlight, than under streelights at night-time.”However, whey are people seeing the same photo of the same dress in different colors? In fact, there are two different kinds of cells(细胞) in your eyes that allow the brain to see colors. When the light goes into your eyes, rods(视网膜杆)are more likely to feel light and are used to see shapes, but not color. Instead, cones(视锥)are less likely to feel light, but more to color. Both of them are part of retina(视网膜), which is at the back of your eyes. At the same time, the messages received by rods and cones are sent into your brain. Having more rods than cones is the cuase of color blindness.Having more of one or the other will lead you to be likely to see the dress as white or gold, or blue and black- it all depends on how your brain decides to explain the color. Finally, when your brain decides how to do with the ambient light form all the directions on somehting, the types of cells in your eyes will help dicide.To put the idea to the test, look at the dress on a page with a white background(背景). Then stay in a dark room for half an hour, you’ll look at the dress there on a black background. So what color do you see?( )46.

AWoman Uses Daughter's Key to "Steal" CarCharlie Vansant, a college student of Athens, Ohio who reported that his car was stolen, got a surprise when he learned a woman had mistaken it for her daughter's car and taken it-using her key.Kate Anderson became an accidental car thief when picking up her daughter's car near an Ohio University building last week.Anderson spotted the nickel-~ay Toyota Camry(银灰色丰田凯美瑞)and used her daughter's key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive home-without realizing that the car wasn't her daughter's.When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later, he found only an empty parking spot.He first assumed the car had been towed, but when the police couldn't find a record of it, they took a theft report.The morning after Anderson took the car, her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn't hers.Anderson said she was able to find Vansant's name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university.When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway, "It sounded real suspicious at first, like may he she wanted to hold the thing for ransom(赎金),”said Vansant.He eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car.According to police report, the ease was closed "because of mistaken car identity", Anderson wasn't charged.V ansant seemed to blame the car company more than the "thief"."Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition(点火装置)as well - so high-five for Toyota.I guess." he said.21.What does the underlined word "towed" mean in paragraph 3?A.removed B.damaged C.stolen D.sold 22.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Mrs.Anderson's daughter discovered the car her mother drove was not hers.B.Mrs.Anderson stole Charlie's car at the request of her daughter.C.Charlie had thought he had to give Anderson money to get his car back.D.Mrs.Anderson used her daughter's key to unlock Charlie's car and drive home.23.What does Charlie mean by "h~-five for Toyota"?A.He is blaming Toyota for the poor quality of car keys.B.He should thank Toyota for returning his car.C.He wants to celebrate with Toyota for getting his car back.D.He thinks highly of Toyota for producing large quantities of cars.24.What is likely to happen next according to the passage?A.Mrs.Anderson was charged with stealing a car.B.Charlie blamed Mrs.Anderson for mistakenly taking his car.C.Charlie would ask the Toyota Company to give him an explanation.D.The Toyota Company would give Charlie a new car as compensation.BPicture the scene: the battery on your mobile phone has run out.You can't make any calls for help and no one can contact you.You are all alone - well, not quite.Just reach into your pocket and take out a piece of sugar.Put it into the battery, wait a minute, and you're back on the phone.Thanks to a couple of American scientists, this situation could become real.Swadesh Chaudhuri and Derek Lovely have invented the "bacteria battery" - powered by bacteria that eats sugar and turns it into electricity."This is a special organism," Lovely said."You ean harvest enough electricity to power a cell phone battery for about four days from a spoonful of sugar."In the past, bacteria batteries have been expensive and not long-lasting.But this battery uses more efficient bacteria that can turn 80 percent of sugar into electrical energy.This is 30 percent more than similar batteries can manage.The bacteria battery could become as small as a household battery.It's also cheap and stable, as sugar can be taken from waste and crops.But the sugar to electricity process is slow: it could take weeks for the bacteria to digest a cup of sugar.And it produces "greenhouse" gases which pollute the environment.The scientists understand there is a lot more work to be done."It is still young," said Lovely."Where we are now is where solar power was 20 0r 30 years ago."But he believes the battery could be used in scientific equipment at the bottom of the ocean.Other ideas include using sugar in the blood to run medical devices in the human body, and taking sugar from animal waste to provide energy to power homes in rural areas.25.This passage is mainly about_ .A.how to change sugar into electricityB.a scientific invention of a new kind of bacteria batteryC.a new way to reduce pollution caused by mobile phonesD.a new kind of mobile phones and its future26.Which of the following is not the strong point of the newly-developed battery?A.Convenient.B.Stable.C.Inexpensive.D.Quick.27.The underlined sentence in the 7th paragraph actually means .A.the bacteria battery shares some similarities with solar energyB.scientists will continue their work until they find solar powerC.there is much room for the improvement of the bacteria batteryD.the bacteria battery will get popular in 20 0r 30 years28.According to the passage, who will find the bacteria battery less useful?A.Farmers.B.Divers.C.Doctors.D.Electricians.CFederal Child Labor Standards for TeenagersTeenage labor in the United StatesFederal Law sets child labor

see the sunniest sky of the year reflected in a huge natural expand of water.It is the kind of sun that makes you well aware of summer's temporary nature a reminder that if I am ever to go around to book this year's holiday, time is running out.It is now close to four years since I last took a holiday.This is because I have come to the conclusion, over the course of my adult life, that I am not very good at it.You might say this sounds like saying you are not very good at drinking tea or listening to music.What could possibly be difficult about the natural act of putting your working life on hold for a couple of weeks and going somewhere to do nothing?So what is my problem? On the surface, I'm probably a bit of homebody.And I just find the pressure of being on holiday too severe: it always feels like having a gun held to my head and being forced to have fun.Somehow, packing a carefully itemized (详细列举的)list of possessions and meeting a scheduled flight has none of the excitement of suddenly deciding to take a day off and driving somewhere for the fun of it.Thankfully, I am not alone.This summer, most of my friends have decided not to have a break.And a recent survey highlighted the downside(负面)of holidays, with the results showing that nearly two thirds of people found that the calming effects of a holiday wore off within 24 hours, as stress levels returned to normal.And this year's the Idler magazine published its hook, Awful Holidays.Here you will find a list of the five most ecologically-damaging vacations it's possible to take, along with 50 horrible holidays experiences voted for on the idler website.Over the last decade, The Idler has become well known for promoting the idea of an easy, lazy life.The leisure(休闲)industry might seem an unlikely target of its criticism, but Dan Kienan, the book ' s editor, says that he was flooded with entries from readers for his list of awful holidays.32.According to the first paragraph we can know that the writer .A.has a strong desire to book a holidayB.wishes that the weather would changeC.finds it is too late to enjoy the sunshineD.realizes it's time to decide whether to go on a holiday33.The reason why the writer dislikes going on holidays is that .A.it usually costs too much moneyB.he is tired of making preparations too much for holidaysC.it is far less enjoyable than breaks planned in advanceD.he feels embarrassed when other people are having fun but he isn't34.We can learn from the survey that .A.most people pretend to enjoy their holidayB.all people fail to relax while they are on holidayC.a lot of people feel that the benefits of going on holidays are limitedD.many people have made the same decision as the writer and most of his friends 35.The writer takes the book of Awful Holidays as an example to .A.damage the reputation of the magazineB.prove the idea of living an easy, lazy life to be wrongC.indicate that his dislike of holidays is widely sharedD.focus entirely on bad personal experiences of holidays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。

2014届各区⼆模英语试卷阅读理解(D篇14套)Uniforms, used for identifying people, are seen almost everywhere in the world. They are a part of everyday life. Let?s look at some of the reasons why people wear uniforms and the types of people that wear uniforms.Many children have to wear a uniform at school. Boys and girls must wear the same coloured clothes and a school tie. There is often a school badge on the jacket or shirt. There are many reasons for having a school uniform. Firstly, the uniform shows that the children attend the same school. It is important for children to feel they belong to a school and that they identify with their school. Secondly, the uniform makes it easy for other people to tell which school they go to and the children are proud of their school. Thirdly, school uniforms are comfortable, smart clothing. Finally, it is cheaper for parents to buy one set of clothes for their child. Most parents cannot afford to buy lots of expensive, fashionable clothes for their children.It is not only children who wear uniforms. Think about police officers, bus drivers, security guards, chefs, waiter, and bank clerks. They all wear special clothes for their jobs. These clothes are comfortable and practical for their daily work. Their uniforms also allow the public to recognize them at once.Many other people wear uniforms too. A business person usually wears a dark suit, a white shirt, a tie, and carries a briefcase to the office. A builder wears jeans, strong shoes and a T-shirt. The clothes a person wears tell other people the kind of job the person does.Go to a shopping mall at the weekend. You will see groups of teenagers wearing blue jeans, colourful T-shirts and baseball caps. These clothes say, …We are young and free. We do not need to work.? But they are all wearing the same clothes as part of the same group. Although they may not like the uniform they have to wear at school, they like to have a group identity. At the weekend, they have a group identity by wearing the same styles of clothes as their friends. This is also a uniform -----the uniform of youth.Clothes communicate many things about the wearers: their jobs, their social groups, even their attitudes. What do you want to tell people through the clothes you wear?1. Are children the only people who wear uniforms?________,_____________________________________________________________.2.

He had left the college 25 years before, and he had never been back. As he walked up from station, he slowly began to feel the same excitement that he had felt when first went there as an 18-year-old boy. When he received the email inviting him to the reunion (重聚) for the people of his year at college, he had felt only happy and excited. Now, as he got nearer to the college, he was nervous, yes, definitely nervous. Perhaps his classmates had all been more successful than him, or at least earned more money than him.He was happy in his job as a university lecturer, but the others were probably all lawyers, accountants and cankers. Who would be there at the reunion? He wondered. He was proud that he had studied there and glad to be back, but at the same time sad that the college was no longer part of his life, sad that he couldn?t bring back those days which meant so much to him.The porter gave him a key to a room in the college. He couldn?t believe it. It was his old room. As he walked through the door, he was surprised to feel a tear rolling down his checks. He had never thought he would feel like this. He tried to remind himself that his times there had not always been happy, that there had been problems too. I t was almost time for dinner, so he put on his black dinner jacket and bow tie and walked down to the dining hall, wondering if any of his old friends would be there.He walked into the dining hall, and there she was. She had changed a little. The smile which had made him fall in love with her was still the same. But she was sitting with the man she had chosen to marry, the man she had chosen to marry instead of him. He had thought the pain had gone, but it hit him in the stomach like a boxer?s punch. Was it wrong for him to have come back? Or should he …?1. How old was the writer when he went to college?__________________________________________________________________________2.

Should he come here with his wife? / Should he talk with them?Happiness is a feeling that lights up your eyes, makes your steps light and makes you want to sing for no reason. Everyone wants to be happy. But sometimes, a guest comes in without invitation. It?s unhappiness. Don?t let it get you down. Send it away.When you are happy, the world feels like a better place. As the saying goes: When you smile, the world smiles with you; when you cry, you cry alone. Wearing a smile makes you more charming(迷⼈的)and helps you to win lots of friends. A goodmood(⼼情)always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.No matter how happy you are, it?s normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while. Life is full of ups and downs. We can? t change the way life is, but we can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one. To help us do this, it?s good to know some of the factors(因素)that influence happiness.One of the biggest factors is social relationships. People who are close to family and friends are happier than people who don?t have those r elationships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence. Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even if you have lots of homework or extra classes, you will feel that your school life is meaningful and happy. But if you hate school, your negative attitude(消极的态度)may cause you to feel bored and upset that you hate to do so much work.A third factor is your attitude towards life. How do you feel if you fail in an exam? Maybe you think it?s unfair because you always study and should have got a good mark. You can?t stop blaming(责备)yourself. Or, maybe you accept it. You go through the paper carefully, find out why you made stupid mistakes, and tell your self, “Take it easy! I?ll do better next time!”Your attitude makes a big difference.Do you smile a lot or wear a long face most of the time?1. Happiness is a feeling, isn?t it?____________, _____________________________________________________________.2. What makes you more charming and gives you hope?____________________________________________________________________________3. What does the underlined sentence mean according to paragraph 3?___________________________________________________________________________.4. What can we do when we can?t change the way life is?___________________________________________________________________________.5. How many factors influence happiness? What are they?__________________________________________________________________________.6. How do you make yourself happy in your daily life? Give an example.__________________________________________________________________________.Key:1. Yes, it is.2. Wearing a smile and a good mood.3. No matter how happy you are, it’s normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in awhile./There are happiness and sadness in our life.4. We can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one.5. Three. Social relationships, work or school and your attitude towards life.6. Any reasonable answer is ok.Answer the questions: (4)The first time I saw Jim Wooten I really understood him. He was a great TVnews reporter. When he was reporting in Rwanda, one heartbreaking momentmade a deep impression on me. When the camera showed all of the children whowere dying, suffered from terrible diseases, Jim ended his piece by saying thatwhen he got home, the first thing he was going to do was to put his arms aroundhis own children. Then I realized that he was diff erent, that he didn?t fall into anyof the modern television-news tricks, that he was not giving us any awful,artificial (假的) television-journalist reports out of(出于) pity. Instead, I waswatching a real reporter with a gift (天赋) for both words and slight differences.Then I read his book, We Are All the Same, about his friendship with Xolani Nkosi, a South African boy who became the international spokesman for AIDS (艾滋病). It is about the friendship between Wooten and a black child who was ten years old and already dying of AIDS. It is also a book about a great teacher and his student. But the teacher-the one with real wisdom and understanding about life-is the little boy, not the journalist. And, finally, it?s about a love story of Gail Johnson, Nkosi?s white mother who does her best to save the boy, and their love for each other. When reading the book, I felt touched from time to time.1. How did Jim Wooten feel when he saw the dying children in Rwanda?___________________________________________________________________.2. What would an ordinary journalist do on TV when he saw these dying children?_________________________________________________________________.3. How did Jim end his piece when he saw the dying children in Rwanda?_________________________________________________________________.4.

Why did Nkosi?s mother do everything possible to save the boy?_________________________________________________________________.6. What?s the writer?s attitude to Jim Wooten?

He held a sign which said, "I am blind, please help me."There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?"The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way."What he had written was, "Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it."Do you think the first sign and second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.The first is: Treasure (珍惜) what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.The second is: Be creative (有创造⼒的). Think differently. There is always a better way!1.

They had to go by Dawson?s house, but as they got close, Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over the street. Like most, she was afraid of the man.Amy said not to worry.

When the films are not on at the cinema, I like to watch all the fashionable people down at the beach. Everywhere you look, there are famous film stars and directors. I saw three of my favourite stars walking around the festival yesterday. I was too nervous to talk to them, though.I did not realize that this festival was so old. It was first held in 1946. At this year?s festival, around twenty films are competing for the main prize, the Palme d’Or (⾦棕榈奖) . The films are from all around the world—Europe, Asia, North America, Africa…Some of the people who choose the winner this year are also great actors and directors.There are a lot of excellent Hollywood films as well, though they are not considered for prizes. There are so many different types of films, and lots of them are from countries which are not famous for the film-making business. For someone who loves films like me, this is Heaven!。

It took me hours to get there and I took great trouble to find a proper spot to park my car. As I was already three-quarters of an hour late, I parked my car quickly.At noon, just as I was l eaving my friend’s office, it suddenly struck me that I had no idea where I had parked my car. I could hardly go up to a policeman and tell him that I had lost a small green car somewhere ! Walking down street after street, I examined each car closely and was very happy to see a small green car just behind an old car. But how disappointed I was to discover that though the car was exactly like my own, it belonged to someone else! Feeling quite tired now, I went off for lunch. Some time later, I left the restaurant and walked down the street.

My parents would often tell me how important school was for me, but I didn’t think so. I paid little attention. But one thing let me finally realize what my parents meant.One day, when I walked past a mobile phone store, I saw an advertisementon its door. It was hiring(雇佣)new workers!“Sir, are you hiring people?” I went into the shop and asked. “Yes, but are you the man we need?” the boss replied. He looked at me for a few seconds from head to food. “Do you have a high school diploma(文凭)” He continued, “Or do you have any work experience?”I felt ashamed and I just turned around and left. I could not fall asleep that night, and thought a lot about my future. “I must go to school to continue my study because I can’t do anything without a good education, ” I said to myself silently.I never went back to the store again until I finished my studies and got a diploma.Everything looked the same when I returned to the store: the same people and the same design. However, compared with last time, I had more confidence. The boss told me they needed new workers, so it was a great chance for me.I showed my diploma to the boss. He looked at it and said: “Great! You are in.”Education helps you have a bright future. Now I am not worried about my future because I’m still learning in my spare time.( )41. The writer cared little about his studies in the past.( )42. The parents’ experience helped the writer know the importance of school.( )43. The writer’s attitude to school changed because of his failure to find a job.( )44. The boss gave the writer the chance to finally work on his third visit to the store.( )45. From the passage, we know that school education helps in one’s life.D. Recently, a photo of a dress has got lots of people all over the world confused. When looking at the photo, some people see it as gold and white, while others see it as blue and black.“Colors can look different to us, depending on what kind of light they’re in, ”said some scientists . “For example, something blue can look very different in sunlight, than under streelights at night-time.”However, whey are people seeing the same photo of the same dress in different colors? In fact, there are two different kinds of cells(细胞) in your eyes that allow the brain to see colors. When the light goes into your eyes, rods(视网膜杆)are more likely to feel light and are used to see shapes, but not color. Instead, cones(视锥)are less likely to feel light, but more to color. Both of them are part of retina(视网膜), which is at the back of your eyes. At the same time, the messages received by rods and cones are sent into your brain. Having more rods than cones is the cuase of color blindness.Having more of one or the other will lead you to be likely to see the dress as white or gold, or blue and black- it all depends on how your brain decides to explain the color. Finally, when your brain decideshow to do with the ambient light form all the directions on somehting, the types of cells in your eyes will help dicide.To put the idea to the test, look at the dress on a page with a white background(背景). Then stay in a dark room for half an hour, you ’ll look at the dress there on a black background. So what color do you see?( )46.

The same color looks no different whether it ’s in the daytime or at night.B. He or she will have trouble in color blindness when one ’s cones are more than rods.C. Both of the two different kinds of cells on the retina can feel light.( )50. What is the best title for this passage?A. The Same Dress in Different ColorsB. Two types of Cells in Your EyesC.

It was first introduced to the world in the Boston Morning Post on March 23, 1893. It read: o.k.-oll korrect(all correct). It was only a joke at that time. Later “OK”became popular in documents and telegrams. It was used to mean good luck in everything. There are different ways of spelling “OK”: okay, ok, and O.K. for example.

On November 8, with the help of APEC held in Beijing, the idea of the Belt and Road(一带一路) that run through Aisa, Europe and Africa came true.

Countries next to Silk Road changed a lot of goods(物品) with each other. 2000 years later, we believe that beautiful Silk Road will contribute greatly to the development of the nearby countries.一、单项选择(本题共20分)1-5 CAABA 6-10 BCCAA11-15 BBCAC 16-20 ACACB二、完形填空(本题共10分,每小题1分)21-25 CCBAB 26-30 ACABC三、阅读理解(本题共20分,每小题1分)31-35 BCCBA 36-40 CBAAB41-45 ABABA 46-50 BAACB第II卷四、交际应用(本题共15分,每空1分)(A) 51-58 F H I G C B E A(B) 59-65 weather all new Where’re taken seems with五、任务性阅读(本题共15分,每空1分)任务1:66-70 First times better Sitting yours任务2:71-72 pronounce widely任务3: 73-74 like better任务4: 75 In documents and telegrams.
