Many studies have looked for a connecti on between sex and the amount of mental decline people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed. Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline.Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, “so they’re the ones that maynot have shown such cognitive(认知的) decline,” said study team leader El izabeth of the University of Warwick in England.Scientists surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular categ ory as possible in the given time, e.g. “object usually colored gray”, and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. The first two were tasks at which men are usually good; the latter are typically dominated by women.

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 atleast 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 background, 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.【小题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．Letting mother know where they were【小题2】It can be inferred from the passage that____________.A．the writer worked hard and usually got good grades in studiesB．mother was punished for breaking the Labor LawC．all the other kids studied better than the writerD．the writer’s family lived a miserable life【小题3】Which of the following statements is Not true according to the passage ?

At least we have gained ______ experience for future success.A．the; aB．a; /C．a; anD．the; the12.Saying “thank you” is probably the first thing most of us learn to do in a foreign language. After all, we’re brought up to be polite, and it is important to make a good impression upon other people — especially across national divides.So, what exactly are you supposed to say when “thank you” is only the 20th most popular way to express gratitude? According to a recent survey, 19 other ways ofexp ressing appreciation finished ahead of “thank you” in a poll of 3,000 people. Pollsters(民测调查员) found almost half of those asked preferred the more informal “cheers”, while others liked to use such expressions as “ta”, “great” and “nice one”. So, just what is the appropriate form of words to express your thanks? Fortunately, the clue is in the language itself. “Cheers”, despite its popularity, is considered an informal way to say thank you — and this is a definite clue as to when you can best use it.For ins tance, when going for a drink with friends, a smile and a “cheers” by way of thanks is not only appropriate to the situation, it is also culturally accurate. “Ta”, originated from the Danish word “tak”, was the second-most popular expression of thanks, and is also commonly used in informal situations, along with phrases such as “nice one”, and “brilliant”. Interestingly, one word that didn’t make it into the top 20 was “thanks”, Thank you is shorter, more informal cousin.“Thanks” can be useful, as it is ab le to bridge the divide between the formality of “thank you” and the downright relaxed “cheers”.Certain words can double as an expression of thanks as well as delight. Again, the words themselves offer the clue as to when best to use them.For example, wo rds like “awesome”, “brilliant” and “you star” featured highly in the new poll and they can hint at both your pleasure at someone’s action, as well as serving to express your thanks. If you are on the receiving end of a “new” thank you, you can respond wit h a simple “no problem”, or “sure”.Of course, in certain circumstances, a simple wave, nod or smile may be appropriate. For instance, if a car driver slows down to let you cross the road, simply raising your hand in acknowledgement is enough to show that you appreciate the driver’s consideration.Sometimes, formality is necessary, and “thank you” is still the best choice in such situations. But students should not worry about when exactly to use certain expressions. Many people in Western countries are worried that good manners are in decline. People are tired of seeing their acts of kindness and service pass without comment. So don’t think your “thank you” is clumsy or awkwardly formal. The chances are, if you said “thank you”, you made someone’s day. You star.【小题1】We can tell from the results of the poll that __________.A．people are unconcerned about politeness nowadays.B．“thank you” remains the best expression of gratitude.C．there is a variety of expressions of appreciation.D．there are more formal expressions than informal ones.【小题2】According to the passage, which is an appropriate response to “awesome” or “brilliant”?A．Thanks.B．Sure.C．Nice one.D．Cheers. .【小题3】In the last paragraph the author encourages people to .A．show their gratitude to others.B．behave themselves well.C．continue their acts of kindness.D．stop worrying about bad manners.【小题4】Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage? A．How to Appear More Polite .B．Ways to Show Gratitude.C．Never hesitate to Say “Thank You”.D．Good Manners in Decline!13.____ you ask many different questions will you acquire all the information you need to know．A．If onlyB．As far asC．So long asD．Only if14.As I know, there is _____ car in this neighborhood.A．no suchB．no aC．not suchD．no such a15.Tattoos and body piercings（穿孔）have moved up on the trend list in recent years. Around Western schools lots of teens are sporting new holes and “flesh ink”（纹身）. As with all other subjects, the Chinese will surely have to deal with this situation with respect to their children. To get a better view of what has happened in the West, 1et’s sit down and hear what they say.Tiara from Indiana：I personally think body piercing is sickening. If there were supposed to be holes in your body，you would have been born with them. I do，however，think that ear piercing is not wrong. There is a difference between ear piercing and belly button piercing. Earpiercing is not nearly as dangerous. I would be sick if someone stuck a needle in my belly button.Lee from Illinois:Hi! I live in Illinois. I am 23. I have 12 tattoos and three piercings. I love my tattoos and consider myself an art collector. You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs up on my art work. People on the street stop me to look at the tattoo on my leg. Most of them don’t know what it is. They just think the work itself is great.Subotai from California:I’m not forbidden of self-expression，but when I see high school students getting these piercings, I really wonder. In some cases, the drive is deeper and darker than mere fashion. A friend of mine tried piercing her own tongue with a safety pin. It got infected and she had a tongue the size o f a cow’s.Jackson from Ohio:I don’t think it is wrong, but when people do it all over the place like their face and everything—I think that’s ridiculous. People who get the big “dragons that cover the whole body—I don’t think that’s necessary.” When I see naked chicks on guys, I thin k, “You have no respect for women.”【小题1】Who doesn’t think tattoos and piercings except ear piercing are beautiful？A．JacksonB．LeeC．TiaraD．Subotai【小题2】We can conclude that .A．tattoos and piercings are a new kind of elegant artB．all the teachers in the West are in favour of tattoos and piercings C．everything is changeable as time goes onD．it is necessary to live with different views of beauty【小题3】The best title for this passage is probably .A．Body Art or Causing DamageB．Doing Damage to the Young People’s BodiesC．Young People’s Different CuriositiesD．The Latest Fashion16.________， the car stopped all at once.A．Seeing a boy lying on the groundB．On seeing a boy sitting on the roadC．The driver saw a boy standing on the roadD．The minute the driver saw a boy seated on the road17.My wife ______the night shift when my plane ______.

山西省山西大学附属中学高三上学期期中考试英语试题
山西大学附中2015～2016学年第一学期高三模块诊断（11月19日）英语试题（考试时间：100分钟；满分：100分）第一部分阅读理解（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(A, B, C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ASpeed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age．We skim over articles, e-mails and Wechat to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text．Surrounded with information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line．But a new trend calls on people to unplug and enjoy reading slowly, listing benefits beyond the intelligent stimulation．A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smart phones．They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour．Unlike traditional book clubs, the point of the slow reading club isn't exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment．According to the Journal, the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement started by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the Internet and smart phones．Slow readers, such as The Atlantic's Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens themind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize．Another study published last year in Science showed that reading novels helpspeople understand others’ mental states and beliefs, a fundamental skill in building relationships.Yet technology has made us less attentive readers.Screens have changed our reading patterns from the straight and left-to-right sequence to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information. Reading text punctuated with links leads to weaker comprehension than reading plain text. The Internet may have made us stupider, says Patrick Kingsley from The Guardian.Because of the Internet, he says, we have become very good at collecting a wide range of interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back, reflect, and relate all these facts to each other．Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted, straight pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions.Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly from The Atlantic．“You can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments, you pick up a meaningful work of literature,” Kelly said．“Reach for your e-reader, if you like．Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy, not less substantive, and also ensure you'll never lose your place．”1．The book club in Wellington mentioned in Paragraph 2 shows____________．A. the decline of electronic devices B．the new trend of slow readingC．the importance of exchanging ideas D．the increasing number of club readers2．According to Patrick Kingsley, people are stupider partly because of_____________．A．a non-stop reading pattern B．the straight, left-to-right screenC．the lack of reflection D．a wide range of interesting news3．According to the passage, slow reading___________．A．cures the memory loss of elderly peopleB．promotes the current technology advancesC．provides people with a quiet environmentD．contributes to understanding among people4．What's the best title for the passage?A．Benefit of Reading Clubs．B．Reading of the Internet Age．C．Return of Slow Reading．D．Influence of Speed ReadingBLumberjack ArtWhen people think of an artist, they probably do not imagine a lumberjack(伐木工人) cutting down trees with a chainsaw. Yet many lumberjacks consider themselves to be artists. Instead of patiently working on a large block of hard rock, however, lumberjack artists use chainsaws to carve their masterpieces from wood.Wooden sculptures(雕塑) created with chainsaws are perfect examples of folk art. Everyday tools are used to create art that focuses on subjects found in nature, such as bears or other forest animals. Not all lumberjacks are artists, but some chainsaw artists have been lumberjacks.A lumberjack who is also an artist might cut down a tree during a workday. If the stump, the bottom of the tree, is a good size, the artist might be motivated to sculpt the stump into the shape of a forest animal. The chainsaw artist might also carve other large blocks of wood. Sometimes a homeowner might cut down a tree in the yard and then hire a chainsaw artist to create an outdoor sculpture from the stump. So, this art owes its origins to everyday tasks and nature.The origins of chainsaw art may be humble(不起眼的), but the practice has expanded well beyond turning a stump into a sculpture. In some ways chainsaw artists are like traditional woodcarvers. One artist said that using chainsaws was simply more practical. This person began his work as a traditional woodcarver—that is, he used hand tools to carve the wood into the shapes he wanted. To save time, he began using a chainsaw to remove some parts of the wooden block. This artist realized that the chainsaw not only cut down large pieces of wood quickly, but it also produced a distinctive and beautiful pattern on the wood. These patterns would not be seen in other pieces of art. Eventually, the artist began using the chainsaw for nearly all of his carvings.However unusual it may seem, chainsaw art is here to stay. The final test of success for any type of art is the enthusiasm and acceptance of the public. The conclusion is: people love watching chainsaw artists work, and people love the sculptures they create.5. What do we know about chainsaw artists?A. They are originally traditional lumberjacks.B. They introduce a new conceptof artists to people.C. They create masterpieces in woods and forests.D. They produce their sculptures while cutting down trees.6. Chainsaw art _____.A. is hard to be spread.B. is a kind of folk art.C. focuses on modern themes.D. needs time to be mastered.7. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 4?A. The application of chainsaw in the lumberjack art.B. The experiences of a chainsaw artist.C. The procedure for creating a chainsaw sculpture.D. The origins of the lumberjack art.CIt was a dangerous period for Nancy when her own fortunes were concerned. She had to rely on freelance(自由撰稿) work for six months after Quality Weekly Magazine folded. The regular salary cheque had always seemed very small, but now it was like lost riches. She sent many articles to other magazines. Sometimes she struck it lucky and got a task. She once wrote a short article of a politician who appreciated her fair-minded approach and gave her some secret information. Her article was noticed by an editor in search of something sharp and fresh. And Nancy was getting a name for sharp comment. In this trade, shesaw, you didn’t need so mu ch to be up to date with things as ahead of them, lying in wait for circumstance, ready to jump.Then one day she walked into the offices of National Daily. It had taken her article and its editor had looked kindly upon her. Having handed over a piece on the latest educational theories she’d written, she fell into conversation with a woman she had known before. She learned that one of the paper’s regular columnists(专栏作家) had quitted the job. So Nancy made the necessary phone call to apply for the job.A nd then, the phone callcame. She’d have a weekly column with her photograph next to it. There would be a salary cheque, and perhaps fame and success to follow that. She realized that the job presented her with a wonderful opportunity.Later, when she was alone, Nancy thought that her appointment had probably been a piece of good fortune. However, she refused to allow the word “luck”. She must have got the job because she was good and experienced. What she never knew was that in fact the editor had been at the point of offering the column to another writer, Alex. When he was about to pick up the phone to call Alex, the colleague he most disliked walked into his office, and spoke with satisfaction of the possibility of closer association with this old friend of his. As soon as the colleague was out of the room, he reached for the phone, and rang Nancy.8.Why did Nancy spend a dangerous period?A.Because she lost the job in Quality Weekly Magazine.B.Because she reported some secret information.C.Because her regular salary cheque was too small.D.Because freelance work was difficult to do.9.Nancy thought the secret of success as a journalist was toA.make positive commentsB.wait and grasp the chanceC.get along well with editorsD.keep up with the latest information10. In the last paragraph, the underlined part “this old friend of his” refers to _____.A. the colleagueB. the editorC. AlexD. Nancy11. What can we infer from the passage?A. The new job presented Nancy with pressure.B. Working hard is the key to gaining popularity for a writer.C. Regular columnists are better than freelance writers.D. Nancy got the job in National Daily by chance.DRunning on EmptyFor almost a century, scientists have assumed, tiredness—or exhaustion—in athletes originates in the muscles(肌肉). Precise explanations have varied, but all have been based on the “Limitations Theory”. In other words, muscles tire because they hit a physical limit: they either run out of fuel or oxygen or they drown in harmful by-products(副产品).In the past few years, however, Timothy Noakes from the University of Cape Town, South Africa, has examined this standard theory. Tiredness, he argues, is caused not by signals springing from overtaxed muscles, but is an emotional response which begins in the brain. The fundamental nature of his new theory is that the brain paces the muscles to keep them well back from the edge of exhaustion. When the brain decides it’s time to quit, it creates unbearable muscle tiredness. This “Central Governor” theory remains controversial, but it does explain many puzzling aspects of athletic performance.A recent discovery that Noakes calls the “lactic acid paradox” made him start researching this area seriously. Lactic acid is a by-product of exercise, and the increase of it is often mentioned as a cause oftiredness. But when research subjects exercise in certain conditions created artificially, they become tired even though lactic acid levels remain low. Nor has the oxygen content of their blood fallen too low for them to keep going. Obviously, something else was making them tire before they hit either of these physiological limits.Noakes conducted an experiment with seven cyclists. It has long been known that during exercise, the body never uses 100% of the available muscle fibers(纤维). The amount used varies, but in some tasks such as this cycling test the body calls on about 30%. His team found that as tiredness set in, the electrical activity in cyclist’s legs declined—even when they were making a great effort to cycle as fast as they could.To Noakes, this was strong evidence that the old theory was wrong. “The cyclists may have felt completely exhausted,” he says, “but their bodies actually had considerable reserves that they could theoretically tap by using a greater amount of the resting fibers.” This, he believes, is the proof that the brain is regulating the pace of the workout to hold the cyclists well back from the point of extreme tiredness.12, Which of the following is supported by the "Limitations Theory"?A．Tiredness is caused by signals from brain．B．The body uses 100% of the muscle fibers in exercise．C．Athletes feel tired when they use up all their energy．D．Athletes become tired though lactic acid levels remain low．13．Noakes has found out that .A．muscle fibers control athletes' movements.B．mental processes control the symptoms of tiredness.C．lactic acid levels remain high in cycling test.D．different exercises use different amount of muscle fibers.14．It is likely that both theories accept that .A．the energy in human bodies can be.B．the oxygen content in blood may rise after sports.C．tiredness is a harmful by-product of exercise.D．lactic acid is produced in muscles during exercise.15. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The description of a new test.B. The explanation of the theory.C. The whole process of the research.D. The puzzling evidence of a study.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater, 26 a bar of chocolate if given the choice, 27 , as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the 28 he felt and the more he wanted that apple.He stood on tiptoe(脚尖)，29 as high as he could, but even as his tallest 30 he was unable to touch it. He began to 31 up and down, as high as he could, at the 32 of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple. Still it remained out of 33 .Not giving up, he thought, if only he had something to 34 on. Hi s school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to 35 the things inside, like his lunch box, pencil case, and Gameboy. Looking 36 , he hoped he might find an old box, a rock , or, 37 luck, even a ladder, but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use.He had tried everything he could think to do, 38 seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walk 39 . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his 40 , and how he really wanted that apple. The more he 41 like this, the more unhappy he became.42 , the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t always get what he wanted. He started to say to himself, “ This isn’t 43 , I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling miserable as well. There’s44 more I can do to get the apple—hat is unchangeable—but we are supposed to be able to 45 our feelings. If that’s the case, what can I do to feel better?26.

According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A．The writer’s car is always breaking down.B．Father intended me to be a fisherman.C．I was unwilling to came back..D．Father uesed to think it was useless to attend college..50.What can be the best title for the text?A．Fishing Brings Us Together B．Forgiving Is DifficultC．Memories of Old Days D．My Beloved FatherBEven when you’re extremely busy, you aren’t using your time with 100% efficiency. There are gaps in everyone’s schedule where they aren’t doing anything important. Even if yo ur schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of time where you aren’ t working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.Why aren’t you completely efficient? It’s because time isn’t the limiting factor. If it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions(消遣). Instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate(拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention. Energy levels limit your productivity because when you’re tired, you can have ample time and still not get everything done. Your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.You might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices. But even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything. The reason it’s hard to “find time” isn’t a lack of time. It’s because you don’thave enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.I first suspected time wasn’t the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago. I was insanely （发疯地）busy, but at that time I still exercised regularly. I had daily to-do lists with over twenty items, and I still found time to exercise. However, after a few weeks off, due to illness, I stopped exercising. I was not busy by any standards, in fact, my schedule was incredibly light. Despite this free time, I found it hard to find time to exercise. It seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone. How can I explain this odd experience? I believe you have known it.51. If someone ca n’t work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is ________.A．a schedule without gaps B．breaks and distractionsC．the limited time D．the limited energy52. According to paragraph 4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can ___________.A．work without any rest B．focus on many things at a timeC．find some more time in a day D．do some exercise regularly53. After a few weeks off, what was the change of the writer’s life?A．He had a longer daily to-do lists with over twenty items.B．He stopped doing exercise because of the lack of energy.C．He found it hard to find time to exercise because he was busier.D．He pushed most of the things later and later in his schedule.54. The writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to ___________.A．prove what the real limiting factor isB．show us how busily he needs to workC．explain how important a healthy body isD．tell us what an odd experience he has55. What is the best title of the passage?A．Are You Really Lack of Time? B．How Can You Work Efficiently?C．What Makes Your Energy Limited? D．When Should You Do Exercise?C“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”“Two full inches in the first three days!”These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper, radio and television ads, promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device of such products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way to beauty or desirability.Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoter. The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA(Food Drug Administration)can require proof (证明)under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action ,including seizure (查封) of the product.One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on thegrounds that it was dangerous to health and life.Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律诉讼), and new devices appear continually. Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.56．It can be inferred that ads mentioned in the text are ______.A. objectiveB. costlyC. unreliableD. illegal57．Which of the following is true according to the text?A. The court is in charge of removing dangerous product.B. New products are more likely to be questionable.C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.D. The promoters usually just care about profits.58. FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product ________.A. if it is a drugB. if it is a deviceC. if its consumers make complaintsD. if its distributors challenge FDA’s authority59．The Relaxacisor is mentioned as_______.A. a product which was designed to produce electricityB. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal caseC. a successful advertisement of a beauty productD. an example of a quality beauty product60. The author intends to __________A. make consumers aware of the promoters’ false promisesB. show the weakness of the law on product safetyC. give advice on how to keep young and beautifulD. introduce the organization of FDA第二节(共5小题每小题3分满分15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,有两项为多余选项.Cooking with your children is a great way to involve them in the process of decision-making and taking responsibility for themselves．61 and they will be more willing to make their own snacks meals and bag lunches when they have the skills to be successful in it．Plan ahead--Choose a time when you will be relaxed and not disturbed．Easier said than done．For children cooking needs lots of patience and time to learn by doing things for themselves．62Supervise(监督指导)--Have an adult nearby to help with sharp utensils(炊具)，electric appliances and the stove．Prepare--Wear an apron or old clothes．63Organize--Read the entire recipe and gather ingredients arid utensils before you begin．If you put each ingredient away as you use it，it will be easy to tell what you have already put in if you get interrupted in the middle of the recipe．Safety--Turn pot handles inward away from other burners so they don’t overheat or get kno cked off the stove．Never reach across burners or pots that are hot．Never use wet cloths，as steam will form and burn you．Be careful with electric cords．64 Double-check that you have turned all appliances off when you finish cooking．65 Get cooking and have fun with your kids．A．Cooking also helps them develop a sense of accomplishment and practice language and math skills and gives them an opportunity to share their creations with others．B．Cooking for yourself requires the time and ability to do it and access to the necessary ingredients．C．With a little help and a lot of encouragement，your children will become confident cooks with the ability to prepare meals and make bag lunches on their own．D．First of all the children must have the knowledge of how to cook．E．Use dry hands to unplug them and make sure they aren’t lying across a stove burner．F．A relaxed pace will help you resist grabbing(抓起)the utensils to do it yourself．G．Tie back long hair，roll up long sleeves and remove jewelry．第四部分写作(共2节满分35分)第一节短文改错共10小题每小题1分满分10分假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

Working with them as they improved taught me new ways to show forgiveness, understanding, and patience.One day the placement officer asked me to interview a young man who was having trouble finding a job. He told me that David was a little shy, did not talk much and was afraid to go on with interviews. He requested that I give David an interview just for practice. He plainly told David that I had no positions open at the time and the interview was just for practice.When David came in for the interview, he hardly said a word. I told him what we did at the bicycle shop and showed him around. I told David to keep showing up because the number one thing an employer wanted in an associate was dependability.David was very quiet ( he was evaluated as a slow learner in school). Every ten days or so, for weeks after the interview, David walked into the bicycle shop and stood by the front door. He never said a word, just stood by the door.One day, shortly before Christmas, a large truck came to the shop, packed with 250 new bicycles. It had to be unloaded right away or the driver would leave.It was raining. Some of my workers (without physical limitations) chose not to brave the weather to get into work, so I was short-handed. It seemed everything was going wrong and on top of it, David came in the front door and just stood there. I looked at him and shouted, “Well, all right! Fill out a time card and help me unload this truck!”David worked for my bicycle shop for eighteen years. He came to work every day thirty minutes early. He could talk; however, he rarely chose to. He drove my truck and made deliveries. The customers would praise David, saying, “He doesn’t talk, but he really shows you how to operate a lawn mower!”4.The author gave David an interview to _______A. find a person who is reliableB. find a part-time worker in needC. give him some practiceD. show sympathy for him5.The author finally hired David because________A. there were no other workers in the shop thenB. he needed someone who was willing to work thenC. David kept showing upD. he realized David was dependable6.We can infer from the last paragraph that_______A. some customers just play jokes on DavidB. David has had his character changed through workC. the author prefers David to be more outgoingD. the author feels lucky to hire David7.The author’s tone in describing David is full of ______A. pityB. wonderC. disappointmentD. appreciationCWhat happens inside the skull of a soccer player who repeatedly heads a soccer ball? That question motivated a challenging new study of the brains of experienced players that has caused discussion and debate among soccer players, and some anxiety among those of us with soccer-playing children.For the study, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York selected 34 adults, men and women. All of the volunteers had played soccer since childhood and now competed year-round in adult soccer leagues. Each filled out a detailed questionnaire developed especially for this study to determine how many times they had headed a soccer ball in the previous year, as well as whether they had experienced any known concussions (脑震荡) in the past.Then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and had their brains scanned, using a complicated new M.R.I. technique which can find structural changes in the brain that can’t be seen during most scans.According to the data they presented at a Radiological Society of North America meeting last month, the researchers found that the players who had headed the ball more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12 months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory, attention and the processing of visual information, compared with players who had headed the ball fewer times.This pattern of white matter loss is “similar to those seen in traumatic (外伤的) brain injury”, like that after a serious concussion, the researchers reported, even though only one of these players was reported to have ever experienced a concussion.The players who had headed the ball about 1,100 times or more in the past year were also generally worse at recalling lists of words read to them, forgetting or fumbling the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less.8. The passage is most probably a______.A. news reportB. research reportC. story for soccer playersD. text for doctors9. In which way can we find the structural changes in the brain?A. Computerized test.B. Questionnaire..C. Scanning.D. M.R.I. technique.10. From the passage we can conclude that frequent heading may have_____.A. significant effect on brainB. little effect on one’s brainC. n othing to do with the brain injuryD. one’s memory improved11. The underlined word "fumbling" is closest in meaning to______.A. rememberingB. misunderstandingC. recallingD. missingDThe view over a valley of a tiny village with thatched (草盖的) roof cottages around a church; a drivethrough a narrow village street lined with thatched cottages painted pink or white; the sight over the rolling hills of a pretty collection of thatched farm buildings—these are still common sights in parts of England. Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the building crafts practiced in the British Isles(英伦诸岛). Although thatch has always been used for cottage and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches too.Thatching is a solitary (独立的) craft, which often runs in families. The craft of thatching as it is practiced today has changed very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, maintaining and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses. Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter.In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways. People in developing countries are often reluctant to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildings. However, they may lack the money to allow them to import the necessary materials. Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months. Thatch which has been done the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years, and is an effective defiance against the heat.12. Which of the following remains a unique feature against the heat_______.A. Narrow streets lined with pink or white houses.B. Rolling hills with pretty farm buildings.C. Cottages with thatched roofs.D. Churches with cottages around them.13. What do we know about thatching as a craft?A. It is a collective activity.B. It is practised on farms all over EnglandC. It is quite different from what it used to be.D. It is in most cases handed down among family members.14. People in developing countries also live under thatch because .A. thatched cottages are a big tourist attractionB. thatched roof houses are the cheapestC. thatch is an effective defense against the heatD. they like thatched houses better than other buildings15. We can learn from the passage that .A. thatched cottages in England have been passed down from ancient times.B. thatching is a building craft first created by the English people.C. the English people have a special liking for thatched houses.D. most thatched cottage in England are located on hillsides.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。
2010-2023历年山西省山西大学附中高三上学期月考英语卷
2010-2023历年山西省山西大学附中高三上学期月考英语卷第1卷一.参考题库(共18题)1.Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general．Why are uniforms so popular in the United States? Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian（百姓的）clothes．People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform．The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes．Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform．What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity（身份）than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical benefits．They save on other clothes．They save on laundry bills．They are tax-deductible（可减税的）．They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them．Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement．When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems．Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes．Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.【小题1】It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality_______.A．still judge a man by his clothesB．hold the uniform in such high regardC．enjoy having a professional identityD．will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform【小题2】People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform _______. A．suggests quality workB．discards his social identityC．appears to be more practicalD．looks superior to a person in civilian clothes【小题3】The chief function of a uniform is to _______.A．provide practical benefits to the wearerB．make the wearer catch the public eyeC．inspire the wearer’s confidence in himselfD．provide the wearer with a professional identity【小题4】The best title for this passage would be _______.A．Uniforms and SocietyB．The Importance of Wearing a UniformC．Practical Benefits of Wearing a UniformD．Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms2.---So you are running __ clothing shop?---Yes, but I don’t want to make it ___ shop only for rich people.A．the, theB．a, aC．a, theD．/, the3.I hope my teacher will take my recent illness into ___ when judging my examination.

It is the source of all anxiety._【小题2】____ It can be selfish and possessive, or unselfish and giving. Abraham Maslow distinguishes between two kinds of love: B-love or “being love” m eans love for another person: unselfish love not dependent upon your own needs. D-love or “deficiency-love” is a selfish possessive love which is based upon someone else’s ability to satisfy your needs.D-love is conditional. It depends upon whether person al needs continue to be met…But B-love is unconditional. _【小题3】__ Furthermore, as it depends upon who you are, it is possible only when you allow yourself to be known to the other person.The psychologist Erich Fromm also distinguished between two types of love._【小题4】_ Symbiotic union is an immature love based upon the satisfaction of needs and is similar to Maslow’s concept of D-love.Mature love, on the other hand, is a relationship that allows individuals to retain(保持) their independence, their identity, and their integrity. In mature love people can overcome their sense of separateness yet continue to be themselves. The mature lover would say , “I love you because I need you,” but the mature one: “_【小题5】_”A．There are two types of love.B．I need you because I love you.C．Love is a way of overcoming the feelingD．Every one of us needs love.E. It depends not upon what you do, but who you are.F. They are immature love, called by him symbiotic union(共同体), and mature love.G. These two types are quite different from each other.7.Everything he _____ to his country.A．had was contributedB．had been contributedC．had to be contributedD．had contributed8.TUESDAY, July11SHANGHAI---The 12th International Processing, Packaging & End-Line Printing Exhibition opens at Shanghai New International Expo Centre ( to July 13)Tel************HONGKONG---The Hong Kong International Textile and Garment Machinery and Technology Fair 2006 opens at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre ( to July 14).Tel: +852 2584 4333THURSDAY, July 13SHANGHAI---The China(Shanghai) International Wedding Photographic Equipment Exhibition (Autumn) opens at Shanghai Mart ( to July16 ).Tel************HARBIN, Heilongjiang Province---The Ninth Harbin International Automobile Industry Exhibition and Sports Centre ( to July 17 ).Tel*************FRIDAY, July 14HONG KONG---The Hong Kong Wedding, Banquet & Wedding Accessories Expo 2006 opens at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre ( to July 16 ).Tel: +852 2367 8385WEDNESDAY, July 19SHANGHAI---The 14th Shanghai International Advertising Technology & Equipment Exhibition / Shanghai International Media Technology & Equipment opens at Shanghai New International Expo Centre ( to July 22 ).Tel************SHANGHAI---The Shanghai International Outdoor AD Illuminating Technology & Equipment Exhibition, Outdoor Media Promotion Exhibition opens at Shanghai New International Expo Centre ( to July 22 ).Tel************SHANGHAI---PAPERTECH Shanghai 2006 opens at Shanghai New International Expo Centre ( to July 22 ).Tel************【小题1】More exhibitions are held in _______A．Shanghai New International Expo CentreB．Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition CentreC．Shanghai MartD．Harbin International conference, Exhibition and Sports Centre【小题2】How many exhibitions can you attend on July 15______A．oneB．twoC．threeD．four【小题3】The text is likely to be a (an)________A．business diaryB．product advertisementC．private timetableD．magazine9.____ the factors already referred to, people sometimes feel insecure because their motives are misunderstood by others.A．But forB．ExceptC．Apart fromD．Except that10.面对中学生“出国热”，社会对此有不同的看法。

Criticism from coaches(trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback（反馈）to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ c riticisms to heart and find a flaw in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious(careful) that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the s port and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worried more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.5．According to the passage sports is positive for young people in that_____.A．it can help them learn more about societyB．it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC．it enables them to find flaws in themselvesD．it can provide them with valuable experiences6. Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes _________.A．without realizing criticism may destroy their self-confidenceB．in order to make them remember life’s lessonsC．believing that criticism is beneficial for their early developmentD．so as to put more pressure on them7．According to the passage parents and coaches should_______.A．help children to win every gameB．pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsC．enable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsD．train children to deal with stress8．The author’s purpose in writing the passage is_______.A．to persuade young children not to worry about criticismB．to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to childrenC．to discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragementD．to teach young athletes how to avoid burnoutCMaggie was very glad that James was not a frequent visitor to the house. In the children’s opinion, they had something that they couldn’t explain or understand about him and that excited their imagination. He stirred(激起) Maggie’s anger, however, so that she often said to her husband. “It’s mercy that brother of yours doesn’t come oftener.”In fact James came once a year, unexpectedl y, around eight o’clock in the evening, and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go. Indeed, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add, “You’ll be getting on with the supper, Maggie”. Such was his regard for her.Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to keep her company, she said, but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James’ voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though rich, was unwilling to give or share what he had. He always wen t home by the last train, just after two o’clock.Maggie’s children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had in their mother’s words, “lost two wives and taken a third”. They wondered about those two unfortunate, lost ladies. They asked each other what their fate(命运) had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door.9. Maggie never prepared anything special for James because ________.A. he was a man difficult to pleaseB. she never knew when he was comingC. she was too busy looking after her childrenD. he never stayed long enough for a meal10. What do we know about Jame’s behavior?A. He was a kind man, with love for the family.B. He was unselfish, especially towards his brother.C. He was anxious to please the family, especially the children.D. He was rude to his sister-in-law.11. Maggie felt pleased when ________.A. she paid James the money that she owed himB. James gave some money to the childrenC. she had to wake James up to catch his trainD. James thanked her for the nice supper12. The children did not realize that two of James’ wives ________.A. were deadB. suffered from loss of memoryC. had run away from himD. might reappear one dayDNo matter who you are or where you come from, one thing is certain: you are familiar to the mosquito, although you probably wish you weren't. Mosquitoes are everywhere. They can be found all over the world, and they come in more than 2,500 species(种). Somewhere, at some time, you have surely met at least one.No one loves the mosquito. But unfortunately, the mosquito may decide who she loves. She? Yes, she. Do you know that only the female mosquito bites? Well, it's true. And it's not because she is unfriendly; she needs blood to reproduce. Do you know how the female mosquito decides whom to bite? She is quite selective, and she chooses her victims(猎物) carefully. First, she uses sensors to find her victim. These sensors are located on her two antennae(触角)and her three pairs of legs. With these sensors, she tests your body moisture, body warmth, and chemical substances in your sweat. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if you are not attractive, she'll reject you for another one. The next time a mosquito bites you, just remember that you are chosen. You are special.If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her long nose tip. Long nose tip? What's that? It's a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquito's eyes. It contains six sharp instruments called styles. She thrusts all six styles into your skin at once, and if she hits a blood pipe, she'll get a full dinner in about a minute. All this usually takes place so quickly and quietly that you may not have doubted anything is happening.Why does a mosquito bite itch（痒)? The itch is not really from the bite. lt's from the saliva(口水) the mosquito mixes with your blood to keep it from being blocked as she sucks up her long nose tip. By the time the itch begins, she has gone.And then what happens? Well after her delicious dinner, the mosquito is tired. She just wants to find a place to rest. Heavy with your blood, she picks a spot on a leaf, a wall or a stone to quietly lay her eggs. Just one drop of blood will produce hundreds of eggs.13. The female mosquito looks for you because she ______.A. is thirsty for your bloodB. needs blood to reproduceC. loses her heart to youD. feels hungry at the time14. Only when _______does she do biting.A. she locates these sensors on her two antennaeB. she finds the weather is fineC. she finds body moisture, body warmth and chemical substancesD. she finds what she likes15. It is _______that makes you itch.A. your bloodB. her biteC. her suckD. her saliva第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Huawei Technologies Co. displayed its much-anticipated in-house operating system Harmony OS on Friday, marking what some call the Chinese tech giant's biggest push yet to build its own software ecosystem for the era of the internet of things.The move is also expected to weaken the influence of the United States government's restrictions on Huawei using Google's Android operating system in smartphones, analysts said.Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei's consumer business group, speaking in Dongguan, Guangdong province, said it is difficult to deliver a smooth experience across different devices with the huge amount of codes involved in the Android and Linux operating systems. Linux is an open-source operating system widely used in personal computers and other hardware."Harmony is a next-generation operating system designed to address the challenge," Yu said, adding that it will be able to support a wide range of application situations, including smart TVs, automobiles and wearables.The internet of things refers to a network of devices and other objects that can connect with each other and exchange data.Yu said the US government's restrictions have accelerated the company's marketing of the system, which now has about 4,000 employees working on it.The senior executive said Harmony can be used in its smartphones. But Android is still Huawei's preferred choice for handsets if the company is allowed to use it."But when Android is not available, Harmony can be applied immediately to smartphones. Harmony is ready," Yu added.Jia Mo, an analyst at market research company Canalys, said even if Huawei does not use Harmony in its smartphones in the short term, its smartwatches and smart TVs can be equipped with Harmony to widen its use and accumulate more experience in building an ecosystem."Also, more importantly, Huawei chose to build Harmony into an open-source operating system and allow it to be compatible with Android. Thus Harmony will be more accepted by current Android users. This will prevent Huawei from repeating the fate of Microsoft in promoting smartphone systems," Jia said. Microsoft failed to popularize the use of its Windows system in smartphones years ago.（1）What is the significance of the Harmony OS?A. It symbolizes Huawei has finished its own software ecosystem.B. It may reduce the threat from US government's restrictions.C. It will accumulate more experience in building an ecosystem.D. It successfully borrows from Microsoft's Windows system.（2）Which of the following may take the place of the underlined word "compatible" in the last paragraph?A. Used harmoniously.B. Operated quickly.C. Resisted fiercely.D. Monitored closely.（3）Where may we find this article?A. Fashion magazines.B. TV interviews.C. Historic documents.D. News websites.【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了华为的鸿蒙系统的发布。

Or you can go and see a color film about them. Or you can read travel books.It would seem that there are three,kinds of travel books The first are those that give a personal, subjective account of travels, which the,author as actually made himself If they,are informative and have a good index, then they can be useful to you when you are planning your travels. The second Kind is, those books whose purpose is to give a purely objective description of things to be done and seen. If a well-read,cultured person has written such a book, then it is even more useful It can be classified as a selective guidebook. The t hird kind is those books which are called"a guide" to some place or other. If they are good, they will, in addition to their factual information, give an analysis or an interpretation. Like the fist kind they can be inspiring and entertaining.But their primary function is to assist the reader who wishes to plan in the most practical way.Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that it does not describe everything as "marvelous ","fabulous"or "magical". You must also note its date of publication because travel is a very practical affair and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that the contents are well presented and easy to find.山西大学附中高三年级九月月考(总第四次)读后续写机器人习作分享So,Mr:Maude decided to discuss this matter with his wife.That evening, as they sat together in the living room,he brought up the surprising turn of events."Darling."

Simply speaking，it means the longer kids are out of school, the more they forget. The only thing they might gain is weight。
Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar。
Students get winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation. Some schools follow a year-round calendar。
They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time, with a few weeks off in between. The National Association for Year—Round Education says there were fewer than three thousand such schools at last count。
They were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school. Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said, “Year-round schools don't really solve the problem of the summer learning setback. They simply spread it out across the year。

AMy family moved from Taiwan to a small town in central Georgia, where my dad got a visa for his family and a job. I had just learned English, and from what little I could gather from my classmates, Santa Claus would come down one’s chimney and put toys in one’s stocking on Christmas Eve! What a great country, I thought. After I looked up “stocking”in my Chinese-English dictionary, I knew what I had to do.On that fateful night, after everyone went to bed,I took my longest, cleanest knee sock and attached it to a nail already on the mantel(壁炉). Obviously, the previous owners of this house were no strangers to this Santa character.I woke up before everyone else on Christmas Day and ran to the fireplace. To make a sob story short, I was hit with the reality of an empty sock and the biggest lie ever told. I burst into tears, quickly took down the sock, and stuffed it in the back of a drawer. Santa was dead.Every December since then, the topic of Christmas memories would unavoidably come up, and I would amuse my friends with my poor-little-me story. I had to make it as funny as possible, or else I would cry.How could I know that Santa was just late? Nine years ago, on Christmas Eve, an older man with a white beard and a red cap knocked on my front door. He said, “I’ve been looking for you for twenty-five years.” He handed me a bulging red stocking, winked, and left.On top of the stocking was a card. It read: “For Becky—I may have missed you in the second grade, but you’ve always lived in my heart. Santa.”Through tear-blurred eyes, I recognized the handwriting of Jill, a friend I had met just two months before. I later discovered that the older man was her father. Jill had seen the hurt little girl underneath the thirty-something woman and decided to do something about it.So now I believe tha t Santa is real. I don’t mean the twinkle-eyed character of children’s mythology or the creation of American holiday marketers. Those Santas annoy and sadden me. I believe in the Santa Claus that live inside good and thoughtful people. This Santa does not return to the North Pole after a crazy delivery but lives each day purposefully, really listens to friends, and then plans deliberate acts of kindness.1.What does the underlined part “what I had to do”in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Waiting for Santa Claus.B. Putting a stocking on the mantel.C. Asking for gifts from her parents.D. Looking up “stocking” in the dictionary2. It can be inferred from the passage that the author’s parents ____.A. didn’t love their child at allB. didn’t know the previous owner s of the houseC. didn’t know much about Christmas traditionD. didn’t have enough money to buy the author Christmas presents3 When the author told her friends about the story, she felt ______in her heart.A. proudB. amusingC. hateD. regret4. The author of the passage is probably ________.A. a teenagerB. a primary school studentC. a middle-aged womanD. a native AmericanBA recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlors(客厅) where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way? No, the English, too, pay more attention to their pets.This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods, which often contain more vitamins than human food. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of veterinary bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty, so it is not unusual for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog instead of his children.There are a variety of reasons why I findpets-raising alarming. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Animals can cause disease, too. It is the threat of rabies — a disease with no known cure.Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat, and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only when the "sweet little thing" has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on "Rover" or "Bonzo". Then they just abandon it. As a result, they are allowed to run free. English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someone's pet and you must have read of children being hurt by some pets of their own.Lastly, I would only suggest that we have got ourpriorities wrong and that something should be done about it. In my view, it's time we stopped being sentimental about pets. I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up for medical experiments. This will lead us to discovering cures for serious human diseases, then I say, “keep cutting!”5. The doggy parlors are mentioned in the 1st paragraph to show ___.A. where Americans keep their petsB. what costly lives the pets are livingC. why children love their pets so muchD. how much pets depend on their masters6. In the second paragraph "to get hot under the collar" probably means ___.A. getting quite hotB. feeling overwhelmingly angryC. becoming excitedD. receiving a fashionable shirt7.According to the author, in which field can animals be most useful?A.Pet.B. Food.C. Medicine.D. Sports.8. What is author's attitude towards pets-raising?A. Pitiful.B. Neutral.C. Opposed.D. Supportive.CWelcome to Arundel Castle which is situated in West Sussex, England.

At the mainCastle entranceDMan still has a lot to learn about the most powerful and complex part of his body — the brain.It may be surprising to learn that it isn't age that makes you lose your memory. The reason could be that you have a "lazy" memory, not an old one. Like your body your memory improves with exercise. Once given plenty of exercise, the brain keeps its power. Before discussing how to improve the memory, let's look at how the brain works. There are two sides to the brain, the left and the right. The right side deals with the senses (what we see, hear, feel and smell). It's the creative and imaginative side. The left side is concerned with logic. It analyzes information and puts it in order.Some recent research suggests that we remember everything that happens to us. The problem most ofus has is recalling events. Most forgetting takes place immediately after learning. An hour after learning something new, more than 50% has been forgotten. After a month, 80% has been forgotten, and so on.This shows revision is very important. If you revise new material you have learnt, you remember much more. So it's of vital importance to revise newly learned material often, and have frequent breaks. We best remember what we learn at the beginning of a learning period and at the point where we stop. After the break, revise what was learned before the break and then continue learning the new material. These breaks should happen every 20 or 45 minutes.Other experiments have shown the brain needs time to "digest" what has been learned. The time necessary for this is 5 to 10 minutes. After the break, the memory will have absorbed what it has just learned, and more will be remembered. During this period itis important to exercise the right side of the brain, because the left side is used during the learning period. Therefore you should relax. Listening to music, breathing in fresh air, and looking at a picture are all ways of using the other side of the brain. So when you are studying alone, make a plan which shows when to have breaks and to revise newly learned material immediately before you begin studying again. If you do in this way, your memory will improve.12. According to the text, you lose your memory by ___.A. getting too oldB. hardly using your brainC. working too hardD. using your brain too much13.
