Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.ABoys need friends, suffer when they don’t believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers.Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10 to 15-year-old boys and girls found that girls’ friendships are actually more fragile. Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”; they love games with rules, competition, and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate (空手道) class or on the basketball court. Competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt (萦绕心头) a boy for years.As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boy’s life — and a part in which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”, or someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.56. The common belief of adults is that boys ______.A. don’t care about others as much as girlsB. don’t value friendships as much as girlsC. have the same friendship as girlsD. have healthier friendship thangirls57. According to the text, ____.A. boys usually build friendships by playing competitive gamesB. boys like to have small groups of friendsC. boys’ friendships seldom result in anyone being hurtD. boys’ friendships can hardly end in failure58. The author mentions the study in Para.2 to prove ____.A. girls value relationships more than boysB. most boys consider their friendsvery importantC. boys may be better at keeping friendships than girlsD. boys may be more activein a friendship59. As a boy gets older, he tends to ____.A. widen his circle of friends to include his parentB. shift his focus from his friends to himselfC. leave his parents out of his friendsD. be confused about what a friendship is60. What’s the best title for the text?A. Friendships between Boys and Girls.B. Boys and Their Friendship.C. Childhood and Adolescent Friendship.D. Tips on Making Friends with Boys.BSome time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth —so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It ‘s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that; it's nothing.”Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?”I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I'll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean?You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I'm sorry; I'll give you twenty -seven pounds for it. ” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. ” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me?’” “I wouldn't have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you; shall we say for a fiver?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.61. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer ________.A. was rather impoliteB. was warmly receivedC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair62. The underlined word “approach” in the second paragraph means________.A. plan for dealing with thingB. decision to sell thingsC. idea of repairing thingsD. way of doing things63. The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper ____ ____.A. changed his mindB. accepted the offerC. saw the writer’s purposeD. decided to help the writer64. How much did the writer pay?A.£ 5.B. £7.C.£20.D. £27.65. From the text, we can learn that the writer was ________.A. honestB. carefulC. smartD. funnyCHeritage is our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable (无可取代的) sources of life and inspiration. Places as unique and diverse as the wilds of East Africa’s Serengeti, the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Baroque cathedrals of Latin America make up our world’s heritage.What makes the concept of World Heritage exceptional is its universal application. WorldHeritage sites belong to all the peoples of the world, regardless of the territory on which they are located. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity.

Which of the following statements about heritage is NOT true?A. It is exceptional because of its universal application.B. It can be divided into two sorts: the cultural and the natural.C.

World Heritage sites belong to the world and are of great value to humanityC. participation of the local population usually makes the conservation work easyD. UNESCO is an organization aimed at protecting the World HeritagePart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.The atmosphere is a gaseous envelope that surrounds the Earth. It is a collection of gases, vapour and particulates surrounding the Earth. The atmosphere is very important to life on this planet because, firstly, it acts as a system for cycling and recycling carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen; living things transform these elements into sources of carbohydrates and proteins for nourishment(营养品). Secondly, it protects us from invisible threats such as the harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Thirdly, it protects the Earth’s surface from rapid heating during the day and rapid cooling down at night. Lastly, it provides us with the air we breathe as it is our basic life support system; every breath we take requires oxygen in the air. However, human activities are causing the emission of harmful gases into the atmosphere. This has resulted in many environmental and health problems. Urban air pollution, acid rain, contamination by toxic chemicals, the lessening of the stratospheric ozone layer and changes in the global climatic system are all important environmental threats to the atmosphere.Air pollutionOur planet is becoming choked with poisonous gases mostly from our daily activities like driving cars, warming our house and running power stations. And pollution doesn’t need a passport to travel around the world.Ozone depletionFor years, chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs) were used as a cooling device in freezers and air conditioners. CFCs destroy the ozone layer, the layer that filters(过滤) ultraviolet radiation from the sun which causes eye damage and skin cancer.The greenhouse effectAs more greenhouse gases released in the atmosphere reflect more heat back to the Earth , it causes a rise in temperature, beyond that which is considered to be normal. Rising temperature will cause the climate change, which may lead to a more natural disasters, extinction(灭绝) of some animals and plants. Additionally, passing through surface, while some is lost in space, greenhouse gases reflect back some solar energy and make the atmosphere hotter.Humans are damaging the atmosphere, which serves to be our coat. One day it deserves their right. And the world is warming up, the polar icecaps to melt, sea levels to rise and extremeSection B (10 mark)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia(痴呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones(荷尔蒙) , U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimer’s(早老痴呆症). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy(怀孕) are protecting the brain, including estrogen(雌激素), which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects,” Kinsley said.“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer’s and other forms of age-related brain decline.“When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida.“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals that have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infant—that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations(改变) to the brain.81. What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage? (no more than 4 words)(2marks)82. How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter.”? (no more than 8 words)(3 marks)83. “It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals.” What does thesentence suggest? (no more than 13 words)(3 marks)84. What is the main idea of this passage? (no more than 10 words)(2 marks)Section C (25 marks)Directions: 请你以记者的身份,根据案件登记卡所提供的情况,用英语写一篇新闻报道稿。

广东省四会中学高三第1周周练英语试题
四会中学2009届高三英语第1周周练一The octopus’s(章鱼)reputation as a human-killer isn’t simply an exaggeration (夸张)—it is a total myth. The octopus can indeed be a deadly hunter, but only of its natural victims. Some shellfish(壳类动物)and an occasional sick or incautious fish have reason to be frightened of this multi-armed hunter, but a person is much too large to interest even the biggest octopus. Even the largest among octopi is much smaller than most people imagine. Far from being large enough to swallow a ship, as monster octopi in movies have been known to do, the largest octopus, found on the Pacific coast, weighs around 110 pounds and grows to no more than ten feet in width.The hard, parrot-like beak(喙)of an octopus is not used for attacking deep-sea divers, but for cutting open shellfish. Indeed, the octopus possesses such a tiny throat that it cannot swallow large pieces of meat. Instead, it feeds by pouring digestive juices into its victims, and then sucking up the soupy remains. A shellfish that finds itself in the grasp of an octopus has only a short time to live. But human beings are perfectly safe. Still, people rarely care to go close enough to these careful creatures to get a good look at them.1.This passage is mainly about .A.the horrors of the octopusB.the largest octopus in the worldC.the octopi and their behaviourD.the octopus’s deadly hunting method2.It is implied but not stated in the passage that .A.people have unreasonable fears about the octopusB.the octopus is not interested in human beingsC.the octopus is afraid of human beingsD.the octopus is a very cruel sea animal3.What does the underlined part “careful creatures” refer to in the last paragraph?A.Octopi. B.Shellfish. C.Fish. D.The victims. 4.The hard beak of the octopus is used for .A.attacking deep-sea diversB.cutting up large pieces of meatC.cutting open its victimsD.defending itself5.From the passage, we can conclude that .A.the octopus is not dangerous to manB.people often fear creatures that are not dangerous to themC.the octopus only hunts its natural victimsD.things described in movies are not to be believed二We all hate speed cameras, don’t we? They’re not there to slow drivers down and lower the road accidents; they just make money for the government. They trick us, cost us cold hard cash, disturb us from driving properly and are unfair.Well, here’s a surprising thing: what if there were facts that the boring cameras actually saved lives? It’s a conclusion difficult to ignore when you look at what’s happening in France, a country with a historically poor record of road safety.There were 16,617 road deaths in 1972 in France for example, but that dropped to 8412 by 1995 following rules such as compulsory seat belt wearing in 1990 and a lowering of the blood alcohol limit to 0.05 in 1995.Last year, the road deaths dropped below 5,000 for the first time, or 4.9 per cent less than 2004. Comparing road deaths to population in 2005, that’s about 817 per million people compared with Australia’s 806.And guess what? Last year the number of speed cameras on French roads reached 1,000 and the government plans to double that within the next three years.Okay, you know the arguments regarding increased traffic safety and cameras-for-income, but it seems in France there’s been a major cultural change brought on by radars and other laws. A three-hour, wine-soaked lunch with a quick rush back to the office is no longer on.Travelling on the highways, it is rare to see anyone breaking the 130km/h speed limit when once few traveled below it. The speed cameras are clearly signed so drivers know when they are coming. There’s even an official web site listing fixed and mobile camera locations and it is updated regularly.Maybe it is because of such transparency by government, rather than the concealment too often used by authorities in many other countries that more French can enjoy la joi de vivre thanks to speed cameras.6.Generally, it seems to most people that speed cameras are used to .A.make money for the governmentB.slow down the trafficC.lower the road accidentsD.help us drive properly7.From the passage we can learn that .A.France has a very poor record of road safetyB.we’d better ignore the evidence that speed cameras save livesC.France had less road deaths than Australia in 2005D.France does successfully in controlling road accidents8.Which seems more effective in lowering road deaths in France according to this passage?A.Compulsory seat belt. B.Lowering blood alcohol limit.C.Placing more speed cameras. D.Eating in a shorter time.9.Now you can seldom see in France .A.people drive at a speed of less than 130km/hB.lunch time lasts long hours with drunk people rushing back to officeC.drivers drive according to the traffic lightsD.police conduct traffic in streets10.What does the underlined word “concealment” in the last paragraph mean?A.Secrecy. B.Openness. C.Strictness. D.Harmony.三Sometime early in the next century, human beings will move to Mars. They will live there for about a year, and then will be replaced with another group of pioneers. Building the base on Mars will advance our knowledge of the solar system and aid in our understanding of the earth.We already know that Mars resembles the earth in many aspects: general size, presence of water, length of day, range of temperatures. These resemblances have caused many people to consider a centuries-long project: to terraform Mars. Terraforming means altering a planet’s surface so that Earth’s life forms can survive there. This concept, previously found only in science fiction is now being seriously considered by scientists.Terraforming Mars is theoretically simple: add nitrogen and oxygen to the atmosphere; pump water to the surface; and add the earth’s plants and animals in the order in which they developed on Earth. But it will take at least 300 years.Some people think that such a project is too huge for humans to undertake, but there are very good reasons to make the attempt. The earth now contains some 6 billion people, and no one has any idea of how many humans the earth can support. Our very existence and numbers are threatening many other species. We also have had some experience with terraforming our own planet: altering the landscape, the atmosphere and the climate. Currently terraforming earth has become a wiser activity as we try to control global warming, air and water pollution, and preserve some natural living places.While the possibility of such a project is small, it is not impossible. Even if earth-bound societies come and go in the next 300 years, the project can continue through the work of the Mars settlers without the need for constant backing from the earth.The future existence of all the people in our world may very well depend upon our ability to terraform Mars.11.What would be the best title for this passage?A.Terraforming Mars. B.Saving the Earth.C.Travelling to Mars. D.A Newly-found Place.12.What does the underlined word “altering” mean in the second paragraph?A.Warming. B.Changing. C.Planting. D.Building. 13.According to the passage the main purpose of terraforming Mars is to .A.do some scientific research workB.find out its similarity to earthC.avoid the dying away of many other speciesD.find on Mars living place for the increasing human beings14.The main reason for causing many people to consider terraforming Mars is that .A.there are some resemblances between Earth and Mars.B.terraforming Mars is theoretically simpleC.we have had some experience with terraforming our own planet: EarthD.the development of science and technology is very rapid15.What’s the author’s attitude towards the project?A.Optimistic. B.Negative. C.Sceptical. D.Objective.四When six the very best students from different cities in Guandong province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best student of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Peking or Tsinghua University; when the highest enrollment (录取)rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, it’s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Peking or Tsinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.It’s no doubt to call this HK craze(狂热),which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves.How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students?First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, it’s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual(双语)education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.Further more, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China. After the awakening and action taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees(学费)are among students’ top concern when they are choosing universities. It’s time to move.16.What is the passage mainly talking about?A.Some thought brought by the enrollment of HK universities.B.Higher education in Hong Kong.C.The competition between HK University and Peking University.D.The fall of mainland universities.17.Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because .A.many students now would love to study aboard to get a better experienceB.they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universitiesC.HK universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further studyD.Peking university has lost its worldwide reputation18.What is the author’s attitude toward the competition brought by HK universities?A.The government should take relevant measures to stop this unfair competition.B.Mainland universities had better lower their tuition fees and win back the top students.C.Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition.D.It may probably cause a complete loss both sides in the end.19.From the passage we can see HK universities .A.didn’t mean to enroll top students from mainlandB.didn’t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popularC.have strict enrollment rules and only 1 out of 48 students can get the chance to study thereD.are proud of their teaching staff and facilities20.What does the author mean by saying “It’s time to move” in the last paragraph?A.Mainland universities should take measures as soon as possible to attract students.B.The opportunities come for top students to study abroad.C.Mainland universities should make full preparations to challenge mainland universities.D.Top students should be offered further education free of charge.五Allen: I’ve never been a big fan of the bears, especially the vacation show. On my last trip to Disneyland (1999) we passed it by, because we didn’t want to spend the time on something we didn’t really enjoy. If we’d known it would be closed by our next visit. I’m sure we would have watched it one more time. I was just making the point that it wasn’t until Disney announced the closing that this feeling suddenly sprang (弹跳) up for the Country Bear show at Disneyland.But I think the idea of keeping some attractions open forever regardless of the number of visitors it gets is a mistake. We all have great memories of the Bears, but clearly very few kids today (or I should say families today) are making those same memories from this show. That may be a sad fact, but it’s a fact. For whatever reason, the show doesn’t pull in the numbers. Isn’t it right to use the Country Bear space to bring in a more popular attraction so that more kids today can make those magic memories of an attraction they like? Otherwise aren’t we just telling kids today thatthey “have to”make great memories of the Bears, when it’s obvious that the kids themselves are not enjoying the Bears like we did?Roger: I am very disappointed that they have decided to retire the Country Bear Playhouse. I remember going to the show as a child, and still enjoyed it as a teenager, and now young adult. It is true that there aren’t a lot of shows left at DL and with this one closing even less. Being at DL does require a lot of walking, and it is nice to have a few attractions that are a place to sit and enjoy a good show. I understand that DL has to develop, but there has to be some history to the Disneyland that Walt Disney first designed. There should be some parts of DL that just never go away, and this is one of them. By the time I have children it looks like there won’t be any attractions that I can say I went to as a child at the rate they are going.Now the Bears are leaving. What I want to say is: stop trying to compete with everyone! DL is the best, because of attractions like the Country Bears. If DL insists on destroying all of its magic to make way for the latest, well, then it might as well be just another theme park.21.What news might get people talking about the problem of the Country Bears?A.The Country Bear Playhouse will be closed.B.There will be a new attraction for our guests at Disneyland.C.The number of visitors to the Country Bear Playhouse is falling.D.The Bears will retire because of old age and can’t give shows any more. 22.Allen spoke mainly to get his point across that ________.A.the Bears will be missedB.we should tell kids today that they “have to ” make great memories of the Bears C.the longtime attraction ought to make way for a future attractionD.people never care about what they have until all is lost23.Which is the best choice to complete Roger’s idea: “The Country Bears have beena part of Disneyland for nearly 30 years, __________.”A.and I feel it is time to give our bears a good restB.but anyway, the attraction has lost interestC.but I know that Disneyland will always be changing, and I accept thatD.and I am sad that the Bears will be leaving24.Which of the following is not in the same group as the other three?A.an attraction B.the latest magic C.the Bears D.a theme park 25.Where can this passage be found?A.In a Web discussion zone.B.In a suggestion book.C.In a report on the popularity of the Country Bears.D.In high school students’ compositions.四会中学2009届高三英语第1周周练答案一.CAACA 二.

We Have Different Ideas!This may be the most important choice—the turning point in my life. Never before have I been so serious. For me, a Senior Three student, which university to choose is really a hard question, especially when I hold a completely different opinion from my parents.I’m longing for Beijing University for its long history, beautiful campus and academic atmosphere. Besides, it’s a good chance to experience a different culture.But to my great surprise, when my parents heard this, they are strongly against my idea. Moreover, I was shocked to find mum crying! She asked in tears, “Why don’t you stay in Guangzhou? So young a girl, how can you take good care of yourse lf? Beijing, oh! It’s too far away. What if I want to see you or you want to see me?” My father also asked me a serious question, “Are you sure you can find a good job in Guangzhou after graduation?”Actually, I’ve thought about all these. As an independ ent and active girl, I certainly can handle all the problems. I insist on my choice, but I really value my parents’ agreement.[写作内容]1. 概括短文要点,字数为30词左右;2. 假设你是这位学生的班主任,该生向你求助,希望你能帮她说服她的父母,请写下你要对家长说的话,字数为120词左右,至少包括以下内容:(1)客观分析去外地读大学和留在广州读大学的利与弊;(2)陈述你支持这位学生的理由。
