The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text messages. Text messages (also called SMS) through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At first, mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would be a good way to send messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send messages to each other. Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called “texting.”A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so messages must be kept short. In addition, typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult, so it'scommon to make words shorter. In texting, a single letter or number can represent a word, like “r” for “are,”“u” for “you,” and “2”for “to.”Several letters can also represent a phrase, like “lol”for “laughing out loud.”Another characteristic of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling “please”as “pls.”Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The student who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her. (The essay said, “My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face.”)Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing.

He was a man famous for his escapes from prison cells, from wooden boxes floating in rivers, from locked tanks full of water. He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America. Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his “magic” tricks.Of course, his secret was not magic, or supernatural powers. It was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as he moved his fingers. He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17 in 1891. He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in a club in New York. They called themselves the Houdini Brothers. When Harry married in 1894, he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant. But for a long time they were not very successful. Then Harry performed his first prison escape, in Chicago in 1898. Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.It was the publicity that came from this that started Harry Houdini’s success.Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs and toestrained to escape from ankle chains. But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luck and a small skeleton key, which is a key that fits many locks, passed quickly from her mouth to his.Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. He arranged to escape from the local jail of every town he visited. In the afternoon, the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers, and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full. What was the result? Worldwide fame, anda name remembered today.1. According to the passage, Houdini’s success in prison escapes depends on ________.A. his magic tricks and unhuman powersB. his special tricks and a skeleton keyC. his unusual ability and a skeleton keyD. his unhuman talents and magic tricks2. In the fourth paragraph, the word “this” refers to ________.A. the previous sentenceB. “the publicity”C. the place, ChicagoD. the time, 18983. According to the passage, how did Houdini get the key which helped him unlock prison doors?A. He took the key from his wife’s mouth.B. His wife passed it to his hand while kissing him.C. His wife gave it to him by a magic trick.D. He got it in his mouth through a kiss by the wife.4. It can be inferred from the passage that Houdini became famous _________.A. when he was about 24B. when he was about 17C. after the year 1894D. before the year 18985. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Houdini used to be a famous magician in the USA.B. Houdini was first recognized widely in Chicago.C.

But because the FDA would allow cloned meat and milk to be sold without identifying labels, consumers wouldn’t be able to avoid them. The FDA has consistently tilted toward those who want cloned milk and meat in our food. Agency officials have repeatedly asserted that science shows cloned milk and meat are safe for humans. But theFDA has never published the complete scientific studies it says support that claim.The argument that cloning is safe for animals is unconvincing. Cloned meat and milk offer no public economic benefits. Having cloned cows produce more milk wouldn’t reduce milk prices. US farmers produce more milk than we drink, and the government is required to buy the surplus. Since 2000, dairy support programs have cost taxpayers more than $ 5 billion.Most important, this first decision to advance animal biotechnology raises ethical issues beyond the FDA’s expertise. Techniques used to clone animals will advance the ability to clone humans－and create animals with human genes. Neither the agency nor animal scientists are qualified to tell us whether and when it is ethically acceptable for humans to alter the essential nature of animals. We need a national discussion, including ethicists and religious leaders, to consider the wisdom of cloned and transgenic animals. Given the risk of unintended consequences, we should proceed cautiously. The president should halt further FDA action on cloning and set in motion a process for beginning this broader discussion.1．The author’s attitude towards cloning is __________. A．neutral B．opposed C．approving D．supportive2．In US many people buy cloned foods __________.A．to support the new technique B．because FDA approved themC．because they cannot tell which is cloned food D．because they cannot read the labels.3．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Because more milk is produced by cloned cows, the milk price is reduced.B．American farmers produce more milk than the people can consume. C．FDA approved that cloned food is safe for human beings. D．More and more people accept cloned milk and meat.4．From the text we know that cloning technique ___________. A．developed well enough to clone human beingsB．may cause unintended bad results to human beingsC．will bring more unexpected economic benefitsD．is supported by ethicists and religious leaders5．What’s the best title of this passage?A．Publice Is Against Cloned Food B．Benefits of Cloned Food C．Cloned Food Is Illegal D．Technique in Cloned Food16,Everyone agrees that it’s necessary to reduce carbon emissions (排放物) around the world. There is less agreement over exactly how nations should go about achieving a more carbon - free planet. Thus, the environmental equivalent of Elvis vs. the Beatles: cap - and - trade carbon emissions, or place a carbontax on all users? With cap - and - trade programs, governments limit the level of carbon produced by an industry. Companies that hold their emissions below the cap can sell their remaining allowance on a carbon market, while companies that go beyond their limit must purchase credits on that market. Carbon taxes are more straightforward: a set tax rate is placed on the consumption of carbon in any form - fossil-fuel electricity, gasoline - with the idea that raising the price will encourage industries and individuals to consume less. At the moment, cap - and - trade has the upper hand, since it serves as the backbone of the current Kyoto Protocol, and helped the U.S. reduce acid rain in the 1990s-but don't write off (勾销,取消) the tax just yet. . Supporters of the tax argue that a cap - and - trade system would be too difficult to administer - and too easily gamed by industries looking to sidestep emissions caps. Cap - and - trade advocators counter that like all other flat taxes, a carbon collection would relatively burden lower - income families, who spend a greater percentage of their income on energy than rich households.So which system will have a larger effect on carbon consumption?A 10% carbon tax might reduce the demand for carbon about 5 % or less, according to an analysis by the Carbon Tax Center, an environmental advocacy group. That may not be enough. Businesses and governments haven’t figured out how the two competing systems can work together, but in the end, the world may need both. 1．The passage focuses on .A．programs of collecting taxes B．systems of reducing carbon emissionsC．reasons for reducing carbon emissions D．contradictions between the two systems2．According to the cap - and - trade program, companies . A．are forbidden to produce carbon emissionsB．are allocated the same amount of carbon consumptionC．can sell their remaining allowance within their limits D．can sell the extra amount of carbon at a higher price 3．Carbon taxes work by .A．burdening well - off familiesB．encouraging industries to consume carbonC．raising the price for carbon consumptionD．limiting the carbon consumption of industries only 4．The underlined word “cap” in the second paragraph most likely refers to .A．limit B．credit C．level D．rate 5．We can learn from the passage .A．carbon taxes are difficult to carry outB．cap - and - trade plays a greater role at presentC．cap - and - trade will be preferable in the future D．carbon taxes will be preferable in the future17,Every year, we celebrate many special days----Mother’s Day, Father’s, and New Year’s Day. In some countries, there is a particular day for people to pull their leg with each other, which happens always before 12 o’clock a.m. In North America and parts of Europe, this day is known as April Fool’s Day, and is celebrated on April the first.Many believe that the French started April Fool’s Day. Centuries ago, New Year’s Day in Europe was April 1. In 1582, the calendar changed and King Charles IX of France moved it to January 1. But many people______________________________, and they still chose to keep April 1 as New Year’s Day. Many called these people ‘April Fools’ and played practical jokes and tricks on them. Over Time, April 1 became a day to have fun in France. It then spread to England and Scotland, and later, to North America.On April Fool’s Day, practical jokes are common. In the United States, for example, a person may move a friend’s clock ahead one hour, or switch the sugar and salt. In Scotland, April Fool’s Day lasts for two days. The second day is called ‘Taily Day’----for one’s ‘tail.’On this day, people might secretly put a sign saying‘kick me’on a person’s back or behind.

2008年全国高考模拟试题2008学年培英高三第一次阶段性考试4550

2008年全国高考模拟试题2008学年培英高三第一次阶段性考试测试题 2019.91,People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot read it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific. Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends atthe bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully.After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels. Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem : he must clean the gear wheels.Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.1．What is the best title for this passage?A．Six Stages for Repairing Sam’s Bicycle.B．Possible Ways to Problem-solving.C．Necessities of Problem Analysis.D．Suggestions for Analyzing a Problem.2．In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except .A．recognize and define the problemB．look for information to make the problem clearerC．have suggestions for a possible solutionD．find a solution by trial or mistake3．By referring to Sam’s broken bicycle, the author intends to .A．illustrate the ways to repair his bicycleB．discuss the problems of his bicycleC．tell us how to solve a problemD．show us how to analyse a problem4．Which of the following is NOT true?A．People do not analyze the problem they meet.B．People often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. C．People may learn from their past experience.D．People can not solve some problems they meet.5．As used in the last sentence, the phrase “in short”means .A．in the long run B．in detail C．in a word D．in the end2,Scholars and researchers have tried to discover what personality characteristics go along with success in intercultural experiences. Their findings have often been unclear or incomplete. But three characteristics stand out in their reports: patience, a sense of humor, and the awareness of being unclear.Patience, of course, is the ability to keep calm even when things do not go as one wants them to, or hopes they will, or has evenbeen sure they will. Impatience sometimes brings improvements in relations with other people, but usually it does not.A person with a sense of humor is less likely to take things too seriously and more ready to see the humor in her own reactions than is a humorless person. The value of a sense of humor really needs to be paid more attention to.“The awareness of being unclear”is a more difficult concept than patience or a sense of humor. Foreigners often find themselves in situations that are unclear to the newcomers. That is, they do not know what is happening in the situation. Perhaps they do not understand the local language well enough, or they do not know how some system or organization works, or they can’t be sure of different people’s roles in what is going on. “It’s like I just got here from the moon,” a Chinese graduate student who newly arrived in the United States said, “things are just so different here.”1．The passage mainly tells us .A．that it’s not easy to travel abroadB．that humor is very important in communicationC．of some characteristics in dealing with foreignersD．of three main ways useful for communicating with foreigners 2．According to the passage, what characteristic should be most focused on?A．Patience B．The awareness of being unclearC．The sense of humor D．Understanding each other. 3．“The awareness of being unclear” refers to . A．knowing the meaning of an exact situationB．not stating clearly what happensC．realizing the possible misunderstanding in a situation D．being aware of the unclear situation4．According to the writer, the Chinese students is . A．a hard-working student B．recently back from the moonC．interested in the study of moon D．not used to the culture in America5．Which of the following can best sum up the passage?A．It is necessary to learn the language before you go to the country.B．Americans are used to the culture of other countries. C．One needs many characteristics to live in another country. D．To live in a foreign land one should get fully prepared.3,There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production ,in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people whoare capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people “generalists”. And these “generalists”are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people’s work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands on field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a “trained” man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalist-and especially the administrator-deals with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated”man; and the humanities are his strangest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you-but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understandyourself and your fitness for being an employee.1．The phrase “seeing the forest rather than the trees” means “”A．being able to do the field workB．specializing in one areaC．knowing large areas generallyD．being concerned about environmental problems.2．There is an increasing demand for .A．all-round people in their own fieldsB．people whose job is to organize other people’s work C．generalists whose educational background is either technical or professionalD．specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others3．What is a major difference between a specialist and an administrator?A．A generalist is more professional than a specialistB．A specialist is better educated than a generalistC．A specialist deals with technique while a generalist works with people.D．A specialist needs training while a generalist gives training. 4．During your training period, it is important to . A．try to be a generalistB．choose a profitable jobC．find an organization which fits youD．decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist 5．What is the author’s opinion on the first job?A．It is most probably the right job for you, so hold it. B．It is most probably a training job, so feel free to give it up for another one.C．It is not your final job, so change jobs as much as possible. D．It is a good test about your ability to keep a job.4,A．Las VegasLas Vegas is really a fascinating city, where you can dine in the finest restaurants, shop in the most luxurious stores, and watch world-class entertainment. Among them, the most attractive thing is gambling. Maybe you will become a millionaire or lose all your money overnight. What’s so clever about Las Vegas is that it makes absolutely certain that you have such a good time you don’t mind losing a bit of money along the way; that’s why they don’t even call it “gambling” any more, but “gaming”.B．Egypt:The old Nile brought about the civilization of Egypt; people there regard it as “the mother river”of them. On both sides of the Nile stand noble pyramids which were built as the bombs of the ancient pharaohs. And the constructions are beyond people’s imagination. Along with the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, the Great Sphinxis one of the greatest and most studied monuments of human history. C．Parisian street:Few cities leave the visitors with such vivid impressions. The whole city is something of a work of art. The quiet River Seine, the Eiffel Tower, Palais du Louvre and so on are really feast to your eyes. And annual film festival is held with a refreshing emphasis on art. Few cities can compete with the thousands of cafes, bars and restaurants that line every Parisian street. And along the street you will be fascinated by the beautiful window shows of various clothes.D．Kitzbuhel:Kitzbuhel is a paradise for all the skiers. With fine weather and breath-taking scenery, it is a world-class ski resort. Every winter, thousands of people come from all parts of the world to challenge themselves. If you can’t ski, don’t worry. The town offers many shops, café and a variety of entertainment. E．Jerusalem:As the cultural center and biggest center and biggest city in the region, Jerusalem is regarded as a holy place by Jews, Muslims and Christians. For Jews, it is where their ancestors built the first and second temples. Muslims knew it was the place where the Prophet Mohammed passed up to heaven. For Christians the city was the scene of Jesus’life. However, since the war broke out, people there have suffered a lot, the situation has been tense, and peaceis just a dream.F．MauritiusMauritius is an island lying off the southeast Africa in the Indian Ocean, which is rich in history, natural beauty and culture. The pleasant climate and scenery provides the perfect setting to enjoy everything. The sea is full of colorful life that lives around the coral reef. This makes Mauritius a wonderful place for swimming and diving. The larger number of interesting fish means it is also an exciting place for those who like to go fishing. 请阅读以下个人信息，然后匹配到合适的地方。

The owner of the passage advertises ________.A. to introduce the new sectionsB. to announce the new sections of the TimesC. to make known his new plan of the TimesD. to persuade people to buy the Times3, Packaging（包装）is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products －or to ask their parents for them.Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy（经济）Size”or “Family Size”printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.1. As used in the first paragraph, the word“motivate”most probably mean _______.A. making one believe what he does is justB. providing a story that makes one movedC. supplying a thought or feeling that makes one actD. making one deep in thought2. “A buyer will get something for nothing”most probably means that ________.A. a buyer will not get what he wants toB. a buyer will gain more than he losesC. a buyer will get what he pays forD. a buyer will get something useful free of charge3. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. On seeing a well-designed container, a buyer often neglects （忽略）what is inside it.B. A buyer is also attracted by the size of the container.C. Children are often made to buy a product by its package with attractive pictures.D. Package is often a successful advertisement.4. What suggestion does the author give in the passage?A. The best choice for buyer is to get a product in a plain package.B. A buyer should get what he needs most.C. Do not buy the product which is sold in a glass or dish.D. The quality of a container has nothing to do with the quality of the product.4, For some time it has been widely accepted that babies learn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards”; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological（生理的）“drives”as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful effects.Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “reward”the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began go study he children'sresponses in situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “turned on ”the lights －and indeed that they are able to learn quite difficult turns to bring about this result, for example, two left or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side.Papousek's lights were placed directly in front of the babies and he noticed that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would “smile”when the lights came on. Papousek concluded that it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a basic human need to make sense of the world and bring it under control.1. According to the author, babies learn to do things which________.A. are directly related to pleasureB. will meet their physical needsC. will bring them a feeling of successD. will satisfy their curiosity2. Papousek noticed in his studies that a baby ________.A. would make learned responses when it saw the milkB. would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drinkC. would continue the simple movements without being given milkD. would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink3. In Papousek's experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to _______.A. have the lights turned onB. be rewarded with milkC. please their parentsD. be praised4. The babies would “smile”at the lights because _______.,A. they need not turn back to watch the lightsB. they succeeded in “turning on”the lightsC. the lights were directly related to some basic “drives”D. the sight of the lights was interesting5,The house itself had been sold that morning. Now it was the turnof the contents. The crowd of dealers, collectors,bargain-hunters and plain sale-goers walked about examining this and that and generally having a last look round before the excitement of the sale. Every piece was numbered and listed, and everyone had a copy of the list. The sale was to take place in the largest room, the sitting room, which had been prepared. A few people were already waiting there.The room was half full of chairs. These carried the highest numbers, so that they could be put to ordinary use till near the end. In front of the fireplace stood the salesman's desk, a box-like piece of furniture with four steps. At work, the salesman stood a meter above everyone. He was trained to notice the slightest movement of a hand, an eye, or even an eyebrow, any of which might signal a bid. Beside the desk were a table and two chairs for the clerk and the cashier. Many of the sale goods were already here, some from the bedrooms looking out of place.Almost in the middle stood a big kitchen table covered by a blanket. The salesman came in and climbed on to his stand. His assistants followed him in and took their places.“Ladies and gentlemen, ”the salesman said, “I have been informed to tell you that everything must be sold this afternoon.
