His parents were told that there was probably only one man who could save Joseph's life — Louis Pasteur.When Pasteur was a young boy in France, he spent many hours every day with the chemist (药剂师) who lived in his small town. At that time, the chemist had to make all the medicines himself. Young Louis enjoyed watching the chemist as he worked and helped those people who came to him each day.As a schoolboy, Pasteur worked slowly and carefully. At first, his teachers thought that young Louis might be a slow learner. Through elementary school, high school, and college, Pasteur worked in the same thoughtful way. Then he became a college professor (教授) and a scientist, and he continued to work very carefully.Pasteur was studying about the germs (细菌) that cause rabies when Joseph Meister became ill. In fact, Pasteur believed he had a medical treatment for rabies, but he had never given it to a person before. At first, Pasteur was afraid to treat Joseph,but the poor child was dying. Pasteur gave Joseph an inoculation (预防接种) every day for ten days. Slowly, the child became better.During his lifetime, Pasteur studied germs and learned how they cause diseases in animals and people. He developed vaccinations (疫苗) that prevent many of these diseases. On September 28, 1895, Louis Pasteur passed away, at the age of 72. The work of this great man has been of great help to modern medicine.25. The story of Joseph Meister is given to _____.A. express the author's sadnessB. introduce the subject of the textC. show some common diseases in 1885D. warn children to stay away from dogs26. According to the text, young Louis _____.A. was once badly hurt by a dogB. was very interested in medicineC. made a living by working for a chemistD. had been thought highly of by his teachers27. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that Louis Pasteur _____.A. was always patientB. was clever but proudC. was a slow learnerD. was a humorous professor28. What would be the best title for the text?A. Germs and diseasesB. Rabies: a terrible diseaseC. The earliest chemist in FranceD. Louis Pasteur: a great scientistCNavarathri, which is celebrated throughout India, falls in September or October. On the first three days, people pray (祈祷) to the goddess Durga, the protector who destroys all evil (邪恶). The next three days they pray to Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Then, also for three days, they look to Saraswathi, the goddess of wisdom and knowledge. The tenth and final day of the festival is for the goddess Durga. On this day many years ago, Durga killed the evil buffalo-headed monster (怪物), Mahishasura.My daughter and I took out the models of the gods and goddesses that we had stored away last year. Soon the room was littered with all kinds of dolls. We usually buy at least one new doll every year. On the tenth day, the dolls are carefully put away. If a doll is too damaged to be shown, it is never thrown away. Instead, it is put deep into the seas.In our hallway six long wooden steps are set up. First, we spread a thick white cloth (布) over the steps. Now it's time to put the dolls on the steps carefully. Every year, the gollu is different. Sometimes — as the collection grows — there is no space to fit all of the dolls on the steps. Smaller dolls can also be placed on the floor.Every night there are prayers, music, dancing, and a large meal for many people. In northern India, the children sing songs while doing the dandiya raas, a traditional dance. Every dancer also has two wooden sticks — called dandiya — that he or she uses to make a sound in time to the lovely music. Dancing the dandiya raas helps people think of the true meaning of Navarathri — togetherness, laughter, and fun!29. According to Paragraph 1, Navarathri _____.A. is just celebrated in Northern IndiaB. usually takes place in the winterC. is in memory of DurgaD. lasts for about ten days30. How do Indians deal with the dolls used at Navarathri?A. They always take good care of the dolls.B. They usually throw away the broken dolls.C. They have to buy many new dolls every year.D. They keep the dolls in the hallway for a month.31. The underlined wo rds “the gollu” in Paragraph 3 probably mean _____.A. the collection of Indian songsB. the number of wooden stepsC. the showing of the dollsD. the color of the cloth32. What is mainly described in the text?A. Some traditional dancesB. Three goddesses in IndiaC. The history of NavarathriD. A popular festival in IndiaDThe United States has more tornadoes (龙卷风) than any other country in the world. In a normal year there are 800 to 1,000 tornadoes. Most happen in the middle part of the country. Tornadoes form when warm and cool air meet. In the Midwest, the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico often meets the cold air from Canada.The usual tornado season is March through May. Tornadoes form most often in the afternoon and early evening. There is often no warning of a tornado. People who live in the Midwest know the signs (征兆) of tornado activity. The sky becomes dark, often a greenish color. Dark clouds appear in the sky and there is often large hail (冰雹). Suddenly, there is a loud sound, like a train or a jet plane. Sometimes, two, three, five, ten or more tornadoes can form over a large area.This type of tornado activity hit Oklahoma and Kansas in May 1999. The day was stormy, with heavy thunderstorms in the afternoon. As the storms continued, tornadoes began to form. Dozens of tornadoes hit towns and neighborhoodsin Oklahoma, then in Kansas. Some stayed on the ground for several hours, destroying everything they touched. The tornadoes killed 43 people and injured 600 others. They destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. In some areas, not one home stood. In other areas, the tornadoes destroyed every home on the left side of thestreet, but didn't touch any homes on the right side. The tornadoes lifted people and cars into the air and then threw them back down to earth. So it is important to know where to hide and how to protect yourself in the face of a tornado.33. What can we learn about tornadoes in America?A. They may appear in groups.B. They usually happen in the summer.C. There are more tornadoes in the Eastern States.D. There are more than 1,000 tornadoes every year.34. The tornadoes that hit Oklahoma and Kansas in May 1999 _____.A. took place at the same timeB. were the biggest in historyC. came and went quicklyD. brought death and destruction35. What will the author most probably talk about next?A. Tornado dangers and warning signs.B. How to stay safe during a tornado.C. Different kinds of tornadoes.D.

When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material(材料) and it won’t help on the next test --- unless the person cheats again.Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance（平衡）swimming and school.A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions(解决办法) together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.16.The author thinks that when kids cheat in class, _______.A. it is unfair to other peopleB. it does harm to their heathC. teachers should punish themD. teachers shouldn’t stop them at once17. Some students like cheating mainly because_________.A. the material in the test is very difficultB. they want to do better than the othersC. cheating can make hard things seem very easyD. they have little time to study their lessons18. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us______.A. cheating isn’t a good ideaB. why kids cheat in the testC. some kids can’t pass the test without cheatingD. some kids don’t spend the time studying19. We can learn from the passage______.A. cheaters are often thought highly ofB. people show no respect for those who cheatC. parents whose kids cheat are often in troubleD. kids cheat in the test because of swim practice20. In the passage those cheaters are advised to_______.A. spend more time on school than on sportsB. find good solutions instead of cheatingC. try hard to be intelligent rather than lazyD. ask their classmates for good methods of studyIII.阅读表达（共5小题，每题3分，共15分）One of the most terrible weather is the tornado (龙卷风). You can never know a tornado is coming so it brings great fear in many areas. Tornadoes are one of nature’s most damaging storms, but ______________. A tornado continues only five to thirty minutes, but the places they travel to are often destroyed.The strong winds of a tornado can tear just almost anything off of the ground including trees, vehicles and even houses. Another damaging part of tornadoes is actually from the pieces that the storm picks up. It is not only the wind that causes damage in a tornado, but also the lightning that the storm produces. It can cause fires and electrical problems. But what should we do during a tornado?During bad weather, leave a radio on. It’s inexpensive and could save your life. If you hear the announcer say there is a tornado warning that means the conditions are correct for the form of a tornado. A tornado warning means a tornado has been sighted.If you find yourself in danger, find something that provides cover or protection in the lowest possible place, such as a basement (地下室). If your home does not have a basement, go to the lowest and safest place in your home. Stay clear of windows or anything heavy like furniture. Take your radio with you and turn it on. Kneel on the floor and cover your head with your hands. This is the best position to be in to avoid damage during a tornado.21. What’s the passage mainly about?

N. emergency relief official Jan Egeland said there is still no way to measure exactly the scope of the disaster. “What we can see is that a very, very major, perhaps one of the most shocking natural disasters ever is confirmed,” he saidMr. Egeland pointed to parts of Indonesia and the island nation of Maldives as areas about which nothing is known.“Several areas have not yet been estimated or even visited. This is along the Sumatra coastline. There are islands in Maldives that no one has ever got to since the tsunami hit,” said Mr. Egeland.Maldives is made up of more than 1,200 islands off the southern coast of India. Maldivian Ambassdor Latheef says some of the islands may have been washed away forever.Jan Egeland and a team of U. N. aid experts met ambassadors of half a dozen countries Tuesday to begin arrangement aid deliveries in order of importance.Afterward, he said that the request for international help would be the largest ever made by the world because so many countries were hit. But Mr. Egeland said he was encouraged that many of the hit countries appeared to a great degree to be able to take care of themselves. Mr. Egeland also said international response to the disaster has been, in his words “extremely positive”.Indonesian official Atiyanto told reporters his country’s mostly needed things included body bags, fresh water, as well as food, especially baby food, and medicine. But nearly 72 hours after the tsunami struck, Mr. Atiyanto admitted he has no idea of the scope of the tragedy. Pressed by reporters for an estimate of his country’s needs, he said “We are still waiting.”36. What does Mr. Egeland mean by “pointed to parts of Indonesia and the islandnation of Maldives as areas about which nothing is known”?A. He never heard of them until the tsunami happened.B. He will never visit these areasC. He had got no information about the deaths and damage to these areas till then.D. He didn’t know whether tsunami hit these areas at that time.37. Why is the tsunami considered the worst disaster?A. There are so many islands in Maldives that no one has ever got to.B, The deaths and damage went up high and was still rising.C. Many countries were hit by it and caused great loss of lives and other damageshard to estimate.D. The international response to the disaster is very positive.38. We can infer from Mr. Atiyanto’s words that ___________A. he is unable to deal with the disaster properly.B. telling the reporters the fact will probably cause troubleC. the disaster is the worst ever and is difficult to make a clear estimate.D. the U. N. hasn’t promised him much help and they have to deal with thedisaster themselves.BSingapore, Tues. Eight people —three of them women —died after being trapped in an antic when fire gutted their two—storey terrace yesterday.In the tragedy, about thirty— six people were sleeping in the building when the fire started by a short circuit broke out. Most of them managed to rush out in time.One of the first to leave the building was Miss Poh, nineteen, a factory worker, who was awakened from her sleep by shout of “Fire!” shortly after 3: 00 a. m.She said: “I shouted to the other tenants to get out. By this time, the first floor was in flames and I could hear people crying and screaming. Someone brought a ladder and places it against the wall, but it only went up as far as the first floor. There was no hope for those trapped in the attic. ”One man who did escape from the attic told reporters that he could only saved himself by going through the ventilation opening in the roof and climbing to an adjoining building.China Meng, twenty, a fitter, wept as he recalled how he had to leave his parents behind. He said: “When I tried to return for my parents, I was driven back by the thicksmoke and the heat. ”Shortly after the blaze was spotted, three fire engines raced to the scene and by 4 a. m. had the fire under control.The MP for the area visited the scene and said: “He has not given due thought to the safety of his fire.”39. ________ males were killed in the fire,A. EightB. FiveC. ThreeD. Thirty—six40. The fire started __________A. after Miss Poh awoke from her helpB. at about 3 a. m.C. in the daytimeD. quite some time after 3: 10 a. m.41. The fire brigade took ________ to get the fire under control.A. about an hourB. three hoursC. ten minutesD. four hoursCIt is interesting that the arrival of snow has the effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others a catastrophe (灾害) or even a wonder.But there are countries between these two kinds that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one of them, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfalls, however light roads are blocked, trains and buses have to stop in the middle of the way. Normal communications are affected as well: telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. And almost within hours there are also certain shortages—bread, vegetables and other things—not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened and go out and store up with food and so on—“just for fear that something bad should happen”.But why does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, the Australians and the Canadians don’t have such problems. It is simply because there is not enoughplanning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow-ploughs and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy snow-ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals, education, helping the old and so on.42. According to the writer, Britain is a country .A. which has regular snowB. which is not well prepared for snowC. for which snow is a catastropheD. for which snow is a wonder43. After a few hours’ snow there is often some shortage of food because .A. shops have closed downB. people buy as much as they canC. farmers cannot produce any moreD. people eat more vegetables in winter44. The first reason why the British do not buy snow-ploughs is that .A. spreading salt is good enoughB. old people need more moneyC. snow-ploughs are not used oftenD. the hospital is more important45. The underlined words “two kinds” mean the countries .A. which have snow either as yearly happening to celebrate or as rare weatherB. which either have heavy snow or light snowC. to which snow either causes problems or no problemsD. which either have snow-ploughs or no snow-ploughs四、短文改错Last month we bought our two -year-old daughter the 1_______ little dog. There are not many children of her age in 2_______ where we live, and we thought a dog would make her more 3_______ lonely. We were right. They played together happily all day 4_______ now.

The mountain bikers from an international biking group sure have! Reporter Ricky caught up with three of them ― 18yearold Michael Castellanos, 13yearold Gerardo Mendez, and 16yearold Jackie Luevano ― to learn about their experiences with the group. Ricky：How often do you ride your bikes? Michael：Every day after school. But I ride on the weekend, too. Gerardo：I use my bike to get to and from school and to get to my afterschool program. I don't like to ride my bike if it's snowing, though! Jackie：I only ride my bike in the summer, but when I do, I like to ride three times per week. Ricky：What's the difference between riding in the city and in the mountains? Michael：You have to follow more rules and laws when you ride your bike in the city. In the mountains there are laws but not as many. Jackie：It's harder riding in the mountains, but it's quieter. The hardest part is learning to use your gears (挡). I was used to riding a city bike that doesn't have gears and then when I started to ride in the mountains I had to learn that gears make it easier to ride. Ricky：What is the best part of the mountainrides? Jackie：My favorite thing is getting a break from being indoors. After being inside all day, it's nice to enjoy the clean air and feel the wind. Gerardo：Our group is usually really loud, but when we ride in the mountains, we are quieter and we can hear the birds and the water. 31．Who goes to school by bike? A．Jackie. B．Michael. C．Ricky. D．Gerardo. 32．The mountain biker Michael________. A．rides in the mountains three times a week B．often uses gears to make it easier to ride C．feels freer when riding in the mountains D．likes to ride in the snow 33．What does Jackie like most in the mountain rides? A．Having a rest. B．Drinking the water. C．Watching the birds. D．Enjoying the weather. 34．The text is mainly about________. A．different kinds of riding B．an international biking group C．the skills of riding in the mountains D．an interview with three mountain bikers B There's a street in Harlem that comes alive every Saturday with the sound of gospel (福音)music. You won't tind any church there ― just a simple stone h ouse full of teenagers and the woman who draws them in. Her name is Vy Higginsen, a New York theater producer. Five years ago she created something called“Gospel for Teens”． If you're thinking that Higginsen thought up this program as a way to save the teens, you'd be wrong. She did it to save the music. The faces and voices of Gospel for Teens include kids between the ages of 13 and 19 who gather in Harlem each week from all over New York and New Jersey to study the tradition and the art of singing gospel. Higginsen runs an advanced (高级的) class, but each fall she brings in a new group, putting out a call for auditions (试音) in local papers, on radio, and in churches. She calls themher“beginners”． Yolanda Howard, age 14, had arrived by subway from the Bronx very early.“I was so happy because I was the first person，” she said. And she brought along her friendRhonda Rodriguez. Asked if she was nervous, Rodriguez told Lesley Stahl, a reporter，“I was really nervous.” “Did they really have to be great in the audition？” Stahl asked Higginsen. “No，”she replied.“We_don't_expect_them_to_be_great.They're teenagers.” One girl who auditioned only knew little about music. “That's why we have this school！” said Higginsen. So she and the teachers she calls music masters ― including her own daughter Knoelle ― want to accept as many kids as they can. And that next Saturday, there they were: the 46 kids Higginsen chose as her new beginners, including Yolanda Howard and her friend Rhonda Rodriguez, who thought she wouldn't get in, but Higginsen had decided to give her a chance. 35．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．You don't need to know everything! B．Give nervous kids a chance! C．Go to the audition! D．Save the music! 36．Gospel for Teens was founded to________. A．help kids behave themselves B．raise money to build a church C．teach the tradition and the art of gospel music D．offer kids a chance to meet some new friends 37．Who was nervous during the audition? A．Lesley Stahl. B．Yolanda Howard. C．Rhonda Rodriguez. D．Knoelle. 38．By saying “We don't expect them to be great”，Vy Higginsen means________. A．few teenagers know how to sing gospel music B．she helps teenagers to develop their musical talent C．great teenagers can take advanced classes without auditions D．teenagers are always too nervous to show their talent in the auditions C Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world ― Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey ― rats will soon be man's new best friends. What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can't get into smallspaces.So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat. How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat's brain gives a signal(信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person. Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says，“Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don't need electricity! The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says，“It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe.”Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course.) 39．From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by________. A．the noise made by the rat B．the rat's unusual behaviour C．the signal sent by the radio on the rat's back D．the smell given off by the person 40．In doing rescue jobs，________. A．rats smell better than dogs B．dogs don't need to be trained to smell people C．robots' sense of smell can be affected by other smells around D．rats can see in the dark and are smaller than robots 41．Rats have all the following advantages EXCEPT that________. A．they are more fantastic than other animals B．they are less expensive to train than dogs C．they don't need electricity D．they are small and can get into small places 42．After reading the passage we know________. A．at present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for peopleB．the“rat project” has been completed C．people are now happy to see a rat in a building D．now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescues D Most people prefer to stay indoors during a snowstorm, but Kenneth Libbrecht is not most people. When snow starts falling down from the winter sky, the scientist's work begins. Taking a magnifying glass(放大镜), a paintbrush, and a camera with him, he heads out into the cold. Outside, Libbrecht waits for snowflakes(雪花)that are just right. Sometimes he waits for hours. Finally, he sees the snowflakes he's been waiting for. As the snowflakes fall, Libbrecht carefully catches them on his paintbrush. Then he points his camera and shoots. The scientist's shiny pictures recently earned him a prize, which is given to top science photographers around the world. Libbrecht takes pictures of snowflakes to learn more about their shapes. The snowflakes form when water steam(水蒸气) in a cloud freezes. Every snowflake grows into a hexagon. That is a sixsided shape. However, no two snowflakes look the same. Experts are not sure why. To find the answer, Libbrecht has traveled to snowy places around the world. He has taken pictures of snowflakes in Canada, Alaska, and Vermont. The work takes patience, Libbrecht explained.“It doesn't snow all the time, and when it does, the snowflakes aren't always good，” he said. Once he's collected enough pictures, he returns to his science lab in California to do research. Since developing his interest in snowflakes, Libbrecht has collected nearly 10,000 snowflake pictures. He will spend most of this winter studying them. The scientist's outdoor work is far from over, though. Libbrecht plans to one day go to other snowy places to take more photos. “I really enjoy watching the snow fall and trying to see what I can find，” he said.“There is a lot of fun.” Kenneth Libbrecht also gavesome good advice to kids who want to study snowflakes. “You don't need a lot of things. With a simple magnifying glass on a snowy day, you can really see quite a bit if you just stop and look.” 43．Kenneth Libbrecht is different from most people in that________. A．he likes to take pictures B．he likes to research snow C．he doesn't like warm weather D．he doesn't like life indoors 44．Paragraph 2 is mainly about________. A．how snow forms B．what snowflakes look like C．how Libbrecht takes pictures of snow D．what Libbrecht plans to do next 45．Why does Libbrecht take pictures of snowflakes? A．To study their shapes. B．To enjoy the snow. C．To find pleasure. D．To win a prize. 46．Libbrecht advised kids who want to study snowflakesto________. A．watch carefully B．buy a good camera C．be patient D．spend much time E A little knowledge about earthquakes can increase your chance of surviving. The keys are education and preparing in advance(提前). The earthquake safety tips below will not make you an expert. However, they could make a lifesaving difference if you find yourself in an earthquake situation. What to do when the shaking begins：•DROP, COVER, AND HOLD ON! DROP to the floor and get under something for COVER and HOLD ON until the shaking stops. Move only a few steps to a nearby safe place. Stay indoors until the shaking stops and you're sure it's safe to exit. Stay away from windows. •If you are in bed, hold on and stay there, protecting your head with a pillow. •If you are outdoors, find a_clear_spot away from buildings, trees, and power lines. Drop to the ground. •If you are in a car, slow down and drive to a place with few big things. Stay in the car until the shaking stops. What to do after the shaking stops：•Check yourself for injuries. Protect yourself from further danger by putting on long trousers, a longsleeved shirt, strong shoes, and work gloves. •Check others forinjuries. Give first aid for serious injuries. •Look for a nd put out small fires. Get rid of the dangers. Turn off the gas if you smell gas or think it's leaking(漏气)．•Listen to the radio for instructions. •Expect aftershocks. Each time you feel one, DROP, COVER, AND HOLD ON! •Inspect (仔细检查) your home for damage.

B．By giving examples. C．By giving explanations. D．By following the time order. 49．When the shaking begins, you should________.

2016-2017学年高中英语Unit4Earthquakes单元综合测评新人教版必修1
单元综合测评(四)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AEvery year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world.In September, 1923，Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it.They had to be completely rebuilt.One of the most serious earthquakes was in China's Shaanxi Province in 1556.It killed almost one million people.We measure an earthquake's strength on the Richter Scale.The Richter Scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA.It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten.Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.The Earth's crust(地壳) is made up of rock called plates.As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake.In cities such as Tokyo，where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the plate moves, they move with it.Earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes.This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself.Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis.These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea.They can be many meters high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities.China, Japan, Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence (发生)of earthquakes in the world.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述的是关于大自然中的一种常见的灾难——地震的具体信息等。

A. accept B. hide C. consider D. refuse四、阅读理解（共2题；共16分）AAt your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures. What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as valuable moment of reflection and a sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch (荷兰语) and also in English found that when silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silence of 8.2 seconds—nearly twice as long as in American meetings.In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don't speak at all. It's already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you're repairing that failure by using words.In the U．S., it may originate from the history of colonial (殖民地的) America as a crossroads of many different races. When you have a couple of difference, it's hard to establish common understanding unless you talk and there's understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a common life.This applies also to some extent to London.In contrast, when there's more homogeneity, perhaps it's easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it's easier to sit in silence than with people you're less well acquainted with.（1）Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation?A. The Dutch.B. Americans.C. The English.D. The Japanese.（2）What might the Japanese agree with in conversation?A. Speaking more gives the upper hand.B. Speak out what you have in your mind.C. Great minds think alike without words.D. The shorter talking silence, the better.（3）What can we learn from the text?A. A four - second silence in conversation is universal.B. It's hard for Americans to reach a common agreement.C. English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers.D. The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appears.（4）What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragraph mean?A. Similarity.B. Contradiction.C. Diversity.D. Misunderstanding.BThe man had died when the rescuers found her after the terrible earthquake. She was covered by a destroyed house. Through gaps (缝隙) of those ruins，the rescuers could see her last posture (姿势).It was something like an ancient person who was kowtowing (叩头)，but it just looked strange because she was out of shape by pressure.The rescuers confirmed her death by touching her through the gaps of the ruins. They shouted at the ruins again and again，knocked the bricks using various tools，but no reply inside.Then the rescuing team went to the next building. Suddenly the leader ran back，calling“Come here.” He came to the body，put his hands under the woman，feeling and touching，then shouted loudly and gladly，“There is someone，a baby，still living.”Through some efforts，rescuers cleaned up the ruins which blocked her. Under her body lay her baby，who was covered by a small red quilt(棉被).He was about 3 or 4 months’ old. Since well protected by his mother’s body，he was safe. He was in a deep sleep when the rescuer carried him out，and his lovely and peaceful face warmed everyone around him. The doctor，along with the rescuing team，took the baby out of the quilt to check if the baby was all right，and he found there was a mobile phone in the quilt. The doctor looked at the screen；a written message was already there：“My dear baby，if you could live，don’t forget how much I love you. ”As a doctor，he experienced much of this type of separation；but at this moment，he cri ed. The mobile phone was passed，and every person who saw this message shed (流出)tears.（1）When the rescuers found the mom，she.A. was using her mobile phone to ask for helpB. begged the rescuers to save her baby firstC. was struggling with the pressureD. didn’t have the normal shape（2）The underlined word“confirmed” in Paragraph 2 may mean.A. provedB. inferredC. guessedD. imagined（3）When the baby was rescued，he.A. was smiling a lotB. was fast asleepC. was listening caref ullyD. was frightened to death（4）The passage is mainly about.A. a story of saving a mother and her babyB. the disaster of a terrible earthquakeC. the rescuers’ hard work after an earthquakeD. the great love of a mother in the earthquake五、翻译(根据要求完成句子)1.听到战争结束的消息，人们欢呼雀跃起来。

答案 BⅡ.阅读理解AParents are creating an “I want it now” generation by indulging children's every demand at Christmas，say experts.Youngsters are becoming increasingly selfish，claim the education analysts.Consumer-savvy children are forcing their families into racking up huge debts and risk becoming spoilt and dissatisfied in the future.Behavioural consultant Chris Calland said，“Parents are desperate to make Christmas into a magical fairy tale for their kids.There's nothing wrong with that as such.The problem arises when it means always giving in to all our children's dem ands—even if they are beyond our price range or not ageappropriate.”Ms.Calland，who runs “Santa Says No” style sessions with colleague Nicky Hutchinson，added, “Many of us go into so much debt pr oviding the gifts our children want that we spend the rest of the year paying off the bills.Yet so often the parcels we've carefully wrapped，once opened，are just pushed away because the very thing our little boy or girl was once so desperate for, they have now lost interest in.”Ms. Calland and Ms.Hutchinson have drawn up a list of guidelines to help parents manage their offspring's Christmas lists this year.They say that adults can actually improve their relationships with their children by resisting “pest er (纠缠) power”．Ms.Calland said，“All too often we say yes because we want an easier life when the fact is that we're only building up problems for the future.We are helping create a generation of youngsters who are blind to the needs of others and the necessity of hard work.”“Children learn fast—if we sometimes change our mind，they quickly realise it might be worth lying on the floor and screaming for it.Make sure you and your partner are working together on this.Be consistent.And try not to get caught up in c ompetition with other families or friends.”【语篇解读】本文是时文阅读。
