2016衡水万卷作业三十三考试时间：45分钟姓名：__________班级：__________考号：__________一、完形填空A few years ago, my younger brother and I went to Norfolk, Virginian by plane.1, before we took off, we heard the pilot's voice throughout the plane, “Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We have no 2on the plane. We have a generator(发电机), and we are going to 3the engines with it. We will 4in the air and head to Norfolk, and see what happens. ”See what happens? We are going to get up in the air, and see what happens? At this point, one woman started crying. “Oh, no! We are going to 5！”There were sighs of 6and anxiety quickly spreading throughout the plane, and we hadn't even 7yet. Thirty minutes passed and we were still 8there. Then the voice of the pilot came over again,“Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are 9, so are we. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working double time. ”There was crying 10we had walked in to grave(坟墓). But the pilot told us our one engine was working double time, and his 11was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and 12happened. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone 13for still being alive.Although I do sincerely like to have a plan 14“see what happens”, it really isn’t such a bad life strategy. All too often, I would see people pursuing their goals 15with inaction just because they don’t have 16success. Actually, success will never be guaranteed. The 17thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what hap-pens.If you are planning to learn a new skill, “get up in the air, and see what happens!”It might not be as 18as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought, and the result could be very 19! So don’t stay there trying nothing just because there is no 20of guaranteed success.1.A. Hopefully B. Excitedly C. UnfortunatelyD. Thankfully2.A. service B. power C. waterD. fuel3.A. shut B. fix C. changeD. start4.A. get up B. pack up C. light upD. speed up5.A. wait B. delay C. crashD. suffer6.A. rumor B. desperation C. diseaseD. pain7.A. looked over B. gone out C. got acrossD. taken off8.A. sitting B. checking C. watchingD. boarding9.A. puzzled B. patient C. anxiousD. embarrassed10.A. even if B. as if C. what ifD. only if11.A. comment B. complaint C. promiseD. plan12.A. everything B. something C. nothingD. anything13.A. escaped B. cheered C. sighedD. praised14.A. less than B. other than C. better thanD. more than15.A. frozen B. annoyed C. concernedD. satisfied16.A. realistic B, organized C. potentialD. guaranteed17.A. same B. common C. bestD. last18.A. interesting B. challenging C. surprisingD. encouraging19.A. rewarding B. disappointing C. sorrowD. trouble20.A. meaning B. sign C. actionD. reward二、阅读理解AYOU CAN HELP!Everyone was born with his own built—in burglar alarm. It’s called the sense of sight and sound. Unfortunately, many of us go around with the alarm switched off.We don’t see the stranger wandering outside the house next door.We don’t notice the sounds from the flat upstairs.(Weren’t they supposed to be on holiday?)The police can only do so much to prevent crime. There never can be enough of them to guard every home in every town. So they need your help in fighting with the burglars(窃贼), the vandals, and the car thieves.Not, of course, by setting out to have a go every time you see something suspicious. It’ll always be the job of the police to arrest criminals.But by acting as a line of communication between them and your community. For instance, you probably know far more about your immediate neighborhoods than the police ever could.A stranger in someone’s garden would probably be far more obvious to you than it would to even the local police, if, of course, you were on the look out.That’s the whole idea behind the Neighborhood Watch schemes, springing up around the country to create a spirit of watchfulness within a community, anything suspicious being reported to the police.It’s early days yet, but results so far are very encouraging. The crime figures are already dropping in many of the areas running the scheme. And all due to people like you.21. The underlined word “them”refers to “__________”.A criminalsB the policeC neighboursD strangers22. The advertisement points out that many people.A are not ready to help the policeB are not as watchful as they could beC don’t look after their gardens wellD don’t tell their neighbors about their holidays23. One of the ways we could help prevent crime is to.A turn on the alarm system in our homeB try to stop criminals from escapingC look out for people behaving suspiciouslyD inform the police if we hear noises upstairs24. The purpose of the advertisement is to in their neighborhood.A ask people to join the police forceB advise people how to protect their homesC warn people about the increasing risk of crimeD encourage people to be on watch for possible crimeBParents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone enteredthe room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself（懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,”she said, “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed(坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say，“I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.”One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.“Where did we go wrong?”her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least nomore than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.25. This text is most probably written by.A a specialist in teenager studiesB a headmaster of a middle schoolC a parent with teenage childrenD a doctor for mental health problems26. The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as.A lazyB quietC unusualD rude27. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters.A pay no attention to themB are too busy to look after themC have come to hate themD feel helpless to do muchabout them28. What is the author’s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?A Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.B Parents should pay still more attention to the change.C Parents should work more closely with school teachers.D Parents are at fault for the change in their children.CBEIJING —China's education authority will tighten the widely criticized policy of “extra credits（学分）”for the national college entrance examination to ensure a fairer chance for all exam-takers.Under the policy, high school students who win awards in national Olympic competitions could get ‘extra credits’，up to 20 points for the national college entrance exam. Students with talent in sports and students who are from ethnic groups can also benefit from this policy. The extra credits have increased these studen ts' chances of being admitted by famous universities. Some parents were found to have helped their children fabricate(伪造)award experiences or falsify qualifications to get extra credits.“It has harmed education equality，”the ministry said.Xiong Bingqi, vice-chief of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said the policy is designed to help students who have special talents but may be weak inacademic performance to have a chance to receive higher education. “it will still be needed but it is time to make the rules fairer,”he said.The ministry said it will reduce the range of competitions whose winners can get extra credits, and limit the winners, privileges(优先权).The new policy will apply to students who begin high school in 2011, it said.Chen Lei, a mother of a 10-year-old girl, said she welcomed the ministry's policy adjustment as she does not want her daughter to become an Olympic competition geek.But not all the Chinese parents welcomed the new policy. “It is like a thunderbolt for me. My - 13-year-old son has spent so much time studying Olympic math，and participated in so many technological competitions during vacations. It is useless now,”said Dong Wen, a 43-year-old mother.A student said, “Many students have changed the current study plan, and they can abandon the competition. I will be interested in learning the courses which can improve my abilities.”Yuan Guiren, minister of education, told China Daily that the reform is an attempt to consider the overall quality of an applicant. “But the country will not stop the national college entrance examination as it is still the most objective way to evaluate talent in China，”lie said.29.It can be inferred from the passage that_____.A. high school students with talent in sports are weak in academic performanceB. students who win awards in Olympic competitions can't get extra credits in 2011C. the number of competitions whose winners can be awarded extra credits will be smallerD. the extra credits have reduced students' chances of being admitted by famous colleges30.What does the underlined word “geek”probably mean?A. a winnerB. a smart learnerC. a competitorD. a dull student31.Which person in the passage was strongly against the new policy?A. Xiong BingqiB. Chen LeiC. Dong WenD. Yuan Guiren32.What might be the best title for the text?A. Extra credits，policy in China to be adjustedB. Promotion of national Olympic competitionsC. Advice on the national college entrance examD. Chinese government to push education reformDAlomada Racraotion and Fork Deportment (510)747-75292010 TEEN TRIP TOTHE LELAND HIGH SNOW PLAYFOR Teens Currently in 6 th to 12th GradesLELAND HIGH SNOW PLAY-Class #8389Friday, December3, 2010 (Non-Public School Holiday)8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.Cost per person: $50 ($ 60 after January 22,2011)-IncludesLunch, Admission and TransportationWith a 4,000 sq. ft. day use lodge, the Leland High Snow Play has a huge supply of tubes to choose from, along with awesome tows(拖车) that willtow you up to the top of the hill!

So they are called“diseases of civilization”.Many cancers and diseases of theblood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco，probably none.39. However，a change in food is one of the main differences between lire in ancienttimes and that of today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat，which had much less fat than domestic ones.They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits.They did nothave milk or any other dairy products and they made very little use of grains.40.

It was summer vacation. Our 12-year-old son, Jack, felt free. I let him 1this I’m-on-vacationfeeling for several days. I was happy for him.But before long, I couldn’t help noticing that weeds were growing in the garden, dishes 2up. With a little baby and horses to care for, it is really 3for me to manage all the things.So one morning, I told Jack that he had to work two hours a day to help me, “I’ll 4you, but you have to do it.” He got quite 5. “I don’t think I should have to work if I don’t feel like it! I’m only a kid!”6, I insisted two hours a day wasn’t too much to ask of a 12-year-old.After that, each morning I gave him 7about what needed to be done around the yard.The work became part of his daily routine, but he didn’t spare any 8on it.Halfway through the 9, the $1 and $5 bills began to pile up in Jack’s drawer. About this time he came to me for 10work. He figured out if he worked extra, he might be able to buy a 11___by the end of the summer. Surprised and happy, I thought of another task for him.12August heat, he worked happily with his goal in his mind.One day I went out to inspect his 13and praised him for the nice job he was doing-- the messy old farmhouse turned into a beautiful view at the 14of Jack.“Yeah, this place is starting to look good.” He said 15, as sweat dripped from his dirty face. A few minutes later, he said to him self, “I wonder what it 16like to win the lottery (彩票).”It’s not 17him to be dreaming of winning the lottery. For a minute I worried that his 18had changed. But my worry was gone.“I bet it doesn’t feel that good,” he answered himself, “because you wouldn’t have 19it.”Hearing this, I came to realize something unexpected 20happen——Jack’s work had given him something much more precious than that new drum, something more valuable thana jackpot (大奖).1.A. express B. contain C. enjoyD. overcome2.A. piling B. staying C. bringing D.getting3.A. urgent B. impossible C. convenient D.suitable4.A. praise B. defend C. payD. award5.A. satisfied B. delighted C. bored D.annoyed6.A.

Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant.You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks.The robot doesn’t just deliver gen eral answers to questions; it responds based on what itlearns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to a ssist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but wi th us,” said Breazeal.21.How are social robots different from household robots?A. They can control their emotions.B. They are more like humans.C. They do the normal housework .D. They respond to users more slowly.22.What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?A. Communicate with you and perform operations.B. Answer your questions and make requests.C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.23.What can Oshbot work as?A. A language teacher.B. A tour guide.C. A shop assistant .D. A private nurse.24.We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ______.A. train employeesB. be our workmatesC. improve technologiesD. take the place of workers25.What does the passage mainly present?A. A new design idea of household robots.B. Marketing strategies for social robots.C. Information on household robots.D. An introduction to social robots.BWhen her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing oneperson. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurantwhen they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business."Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.26.Helene tied several chopsticks together to show ______.A. the strength of family unityB. the difficulty of growing upC. the advantage of chopsticksD. the best way of giving a lesson27.We can I earn from Paragraph 2 that the An family ______.A. started a business in 1975B. left Vietnam without much moneyC. bought a restaurant in San FranciscoD. opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles28.What can we infer about the An daughters?A. They did not finish their college education.B. They could not bear to work in the family business.C. They were influenced by what Helene taught them.D. They were troubled by disagreement among family members.29.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How to Run a CorporationB. Strength Comes from PeaceC. How to Achieve a Big DreamD. Family Unity Builds SuccessCParties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did. This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize, but the smartphone.At parties, more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks. According to a recent International Data Corporation study, well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too many people in society are using smartphones while driving and as a result, they get into car crashes. 34 percent of teenagers admit to texting while driving, and they confirm that text messaging is their number one drivin g interruption. People’s attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.Just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When with their friends, some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend, which sends a message to that friend: the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition, relying on our smartphones to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world. Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their massages, smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people. The quality of this technology is hindering societal achievements and weakening the value of communication. Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact（交流）face-to-face but it is also lowering society’s ability to communicate.30.The purpose of this text is to ______.A. call for an end to use the smartphone while drivingB. appeal to us to pay attention to communication skillsC. express a concern about the overuse of the smartphoneD. advise us to be cautious about the addiction to the smartphone31.The second paragraph is developed ______.A. by examplesB. by comparisonC. by timeD. by classification32.What’s the author’s attitude towards making friends by using smartphones?A. Neutral.B. Positive.C. Ambiguous.D. Negative.33.Over dependence on the smartphone leads to the fact that ______.A. parties and gatherings limit their social circleB. people are more and more narrow-mindedC. people's communication skills are weakenedD. face-to-face communication becomes less importantDThe hit movie Finding Nemo follows a clownfish from the Great Barrier Reef．In real life, clownfish are among the thousands of colorful sea creatures that call the Great Barrier Reef home．Stretching l,250 miles along Australia' s northeastern．coast, the Great Barrier Reef is the longest coral reef in the world．A coral reef is a living underwater structure．But these days, the Great Barrier Reef has found itself in trouble．Overfishing, pollution, and high temperatures are harming its health．That's whythe government in Australia is trying to help rescue the reef．Underwater GardenWhile coral may look like a plant, it is actually made up of tiny sea animal．Those sea animals are called coral polyps．As polyps die, they leave hard．shells behind．Other polyps grow on top of the shells．Over thousands of years, they form a coral reef in warm water that is not very deep．In many ways, the Great Barrier Reef resembles an underwater garden．Coral can be hard or soft．It forms in different colors and in strange shapes．Some coral looks like hardened brains．Other coral looks like fans and lettuces．The reef bursts with schools of tropical fish, dashing among gaps in the coral. The reef supplies food．and．shelter to creatures living in and around the coral．Turtles, sharks, sea horses, and crabs are among its many inhabitants．Helping HumansWhile the reef is important to ocean life, it helps humans, too．People rely on thereef for both food and jobs．It also provides medicine used to treat disease．Each year, the Great Barrier Reef contributes about $ 975 million to the economy through tourism and fishing．Stressed OutIs it surprising, then, that the Great Barrier Reef is under too much stress? Fishing nets and ships break off sections and damage the reef．Air and water pollution are also doing harm．At the same time, warmer sea temperatures have caused coral bleaching（漂白）on half of the reef．The high temperatures cause the coral to turn white, often killing it．Reef RescueIn an effort to help save the reef, the government has limited fishing to two thirds of it．That plan increases the number of "green zones．”Those are areas that are off -limits to fishermen and boats．However, tourists and researchers can still visit them．Many fishermen are upset about the plan because they rely on the reef for jobs．The Australian government says that its plan will help keep the reef safe from some threats．"It is very important that we give B reef proper protection for the future," said one government official．The reef is Australia' s greatest natural treasure．34.Which of the following is not a creature that lives in the Great Barrier Reef?A．Coral polyps．B．Turtles．C．Sea horses．D．Whales．35.Which section describes the problem in this passage?A．" Underwater Garden" B．" Helping HumansC．“Stressed Out" D．“Reef Rescue"36.What picture can the reader get from the underlined sentence The reef bursts with schoolsof tropical fish, dashing among gaps in the coral．in Paragraph 6?A．Many fish quickly moving through the coral．B．Fish moving toward the center, or target, of the coral．C．Structured, orderly groups of young fish without a clear path．D．Fish exploding when they come into contact with gaps in the coral．37.What is this passage mostly about?A．The causes of reef problems an possible solutions．B．Coral bleaching, which causes the reef to turn white．C．The history of tourism to the Great Barrier Reef．D．Overfishing and higher temperatures．三、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Doing puzzles and playing 5 such as chess have also been found to be helpful.Second, no matter how much stress you have at work, in your personal relationships, or6 problems7 in daily life, it all just8 away when you are absorbed9 agreat story. A well-written novel can transport you to other fields, while an interesting article will distract you from the problems 10 , letting pressure go away and 11 you to relax.Third, everything you read fills your head 12 new information, and you 13__ know when it might come in handy.

Most people are already swamped(淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅) , a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of hamburgers andeggs when you're hungry.Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would gotoward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them.And life is a matter of thrills.Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be bettersupported against the bad days, if you could, and did, played a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.21．The author intends to tell us that____________.A. true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair meansB. big houses are people's most valued possessionsC. big houses can in a sense bring richness of lifeD. true happiness comes from spiritual riches22．The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that__________.A. however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfiedB. however materially rich, they remain spiritually poorC. though their house is big, they prefer a simple lifeD. though their house is big, it seems to be a cage23．It can be learned from the passage that __________.A. more money brings more happinessB. art is needed to make your house beautifulC. literature can enrich your spiritual lifeD. sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness24．What would be the best title for the passage?A. House of LifeB. Secret of WealthC. Rest and RefreshmentD. Interest and EnthusiasmBIt was Mother’s Day morning last year and I was doing shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not so much fun falling over in front of everyone.”At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “ My son was very upset for her wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”After that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.25．What dose the author intend to tell us?A. One can never be too careful.B.

The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.B. Tenyson’s idea of buying a flower gained his mcther’s support.C. Tenyson’s care for the elderly woman puzzled the flower seller.D. The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson’s gesture.27．The underlined word “intimidated” in the fourth paragraph probably means“___________”.A. astonishedB. struckC. frightenedD. excited28．What would be the best title for the passage?A. Flower PowerB. Mother’s DayC. An Accidental InjuryD.

Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way --- by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years’ experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes — about 60,000 in total — fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn't. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing(海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of seriousbeachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.33．The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______________.A. fitting roomsB. trading fairsC. business talksD. group meetings34．Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out _____________.A. what caused the shipping accidentB. when and where the shoes went missingC. whether it was all right to use their shoesD. how much they lost in the shipping accident35．How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?A. By collecting information from beachcombers.B. By studying the shoes found by beachcomber.C. By searching the web for ocean currents models.D. By researching ocean currents data in the library.36．Ebbesmeyer is most famous for ___________________.A. traveling widely the coastal cities of the worldB. making records for any lost objects on the seaC. running a global currents research associationD. phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea37．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A. To call people's attention to ocean pollution.B. To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean.C. To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents.D. To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach.三、七选五（2015新课标1卷高考真题）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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

It was two days before Christmas and young Maggie Dotson was already being told that her Christmas wish would not be coming true.

So 3was the little deer that he hadn’t the strength to run from Maggie’s father when he 4him. 5he carried the little deer towards their home, Maggie rushed outside and 6rubbed the little deer’s nose; it licked (舔) Maggie’s hand, which made her laugh. Mr. Dotson smiled and just shook his head. He proceeded to carry the little deer to the 7.In what seemed like a few seconds to Mr. Dotson, Maggie rushed to the house and came back carrying a medical bag, and a 8of lettuce (莴苣) she had 9from the refrigerator.Maggie handed her father the bag, and then placed the lettuce by the little deer’s mouth –- but he wasn’t 10.As Mr. Dotson placed a 11around the little deer’s injured hoof (蹄), Maggie became excited as the little deer began to bite on the lettuce.

In fact, he was soon eating carrots right out of her hand. And when the holidays were over and Maggie was back in school, she never left 17feeding Paxton first thing every morning.Mr. Dotson could see the 18that his daughter felt for the little deer.

Each individual (个体的) ant hardly weigh anything, but put together they weigh roughly the same as all of mankind. They also live nearly everywhere, except on frozen mountain tops and around the poles.Foranimals their size, ants have been astonishingly successful, largely due to their wonderfulsocial behavior.In colonies (群体) that range in size from a few hundred to tens of millions, they organize their lives with a clear division of labor. Even more amazing is how they achievethis level of organization. Where we use sound and sight to communicate, ants dependprimarily on pheromone (外激素), chemicals sent out by individuals and smelled or tastedby fellow members of their colony. When an ant finds food, it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is. When an individual ant comes under attack or is dying, it sends out an alarm pheromone to warn the colony to prepare for a conflict as a defense unit.In fact, when it comes to the art of war, ants have no equal. They are completely fearless and will readily take on a creature much larger than themselves, attacking in large groups and overcoming their target. Such is their devotion to the common good of the colony that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will sacrifice their lives to help defeat an enemy.Behaving in this selfless and devoted manner, these little creatures have survived on Earth, for more than 140 million years, far longer than dinosaurs. Because they think as one, they have a collective (集体的) intelligence greater than you would expect from itsindividual parts.21.We can learn from the passage that ants are ____________.A. not willing to share foodB. not found around the polesC. more successful than all other animalsD. too many to achieve any level of organization22.Ants can use pheromones for______.A. escapeB. communicationC. warning enemiesD. arranging labor23.What does the underlined expression "take on" in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Accept.B. Employ.C. Play with.D. Fightagainst.24.Which of the following contributes most to the survival of ants?A. Their behavior.B. Their size.C. Their number.D.Their weightBMany years ago，my dad was facing a serious heart condition．He was unable to do a steady job．He fell suddenly ill and had to be admitted to the hospitalHe wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital．My dad loved kids．It was the perfect job for him．He ended up working with the seriously ill children．He would talk，play, and do arts with them．One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed(瘫痪)her from the neck down．She couldn’t do anything，and she was very depressed．My dad decided to try to help her．He started visiting her in her room，bringing paints，brushes and paper．He stood the paper up，put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint．He didn’t use his hands at a11．All the while he would tell her, “See，you can do anything you set your mind to．’’At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth，and she and my dad became friends．Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her．My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became i11．Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work，in came the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she was walking．She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight．She gave him a picture she had done using her hands．At the bottom it read：“Thank you for helping me walk．’’My dad would cry every time he told US this story and so would we．He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctor, and my dad—who died just a few months after the little girl gave the picture--loved every single child in that hospital．25.The author’s fat her worked at the local hospital to .A．realize his childhood dream B．ease his serious heart conditionC．earn money to pay for treatment D．keep himself occupied and happy26.How did the author’s father help the paralyzed little girl?A．He helped her practice walking．B．He visited her and made a toy for her．C．He showed her she could still do things．D．He painted special pictures for her．27.According to paragraph 4．the paralyzed girl .A．gradually recovered and walkedB．eventually became a unique painterC．was sent home and never seen againD．sent him a picture painted with her mouth28.What message does the passage mainly convey?A．It’s better to give than to receive．B．Love can sometimes bring great results．C．Volunteering is a worthwhile thing to do．D．A sick person should not focus on his disease．CThe hit movie Finding Nemo follows a clownfish from the Great Barrier Reef．In real life, clownfish are among the thousands of colorful sea creatures that call the Great Barrier Reef home．Stretching l,250 miles along Australia' s northeastern．coast, the Great Barrier Reef is the longest coral reef in the world．A coral reef is a living underwater structure．But these days, the Great Barrier Reef has found itself in trouble．Overfishing, pollution, and high temperatures are harming its health．That's whythe government in Australia is trying to help rescue the reef．Underwater GardenWhile coral may look like a plant, it is actually made up of tiny sea animal．Those sea animals are called coral polyps．As polyps die, they leave hard．shells behind．Other polyps grow on top of the shells．Over thousands of years, they form a coral reef in warm water that is not very deep．In many ways, the Great Barrier Reef resembles an underwater garden．Coral can be hard or soft．It forms in different colors and in strange shapes．Some coral looks like hardened brains．Other coral looks like fans and lettuces．The reef bursts with schools of tropical fish, dashing among gaps in the coral. The reef supplies food．and．shelter to creatures living in and around the coral．Turtles, sharks, sea horses, and crabs are among its many inhabitants．Helping HumansWhile the reef is important to ocean life, it helps humans, too．People rely on the reef for both food and jobs．It also provides medicine used to treat disease．Each year, the Great Barrier Reef contributes about $ 975 million to the economy through tourism and fishing．Stressed OutIs it surprising, then, that the Great Barrier Reef is under too much stress? Fishing nets and ships break off sections and damage the reef．Air and water pollution are also doing harm．At the same time, warmer sea temperatures have caused coral bleaching（漂白）on half of the reef．The high temperatures cause the coral to turn white, often killing it．Reef RescueIn an effort to help save the reef, the government has limited fishing to two thirds of it．That plan increases the number of "green zones．”Those are areas that are off -limits to fishermen and boats．However, tourists and researchers can still visit them．Many fishermen are upset about the plan because they rely on the reef for jobs．The Australian government says that its plan will help keep the reef safe from some threats．"It is very important that we give B reef proper protection for the future," said one government official．The reef is Australia' s greatest natural treasure．29.Which of the following is not a creature that lives in the Great Barrier Reef?A．Coral polyps．B．Turtles．C．Sea horses．D．Whales．30.Which section describes the problem in this passage?A．" Underwater Garden" B．" Helping HumansC．“Stressed Out" D．“Reef Rescue"31.What picture can the reader get from the underlined sentence The reef bursts with schools of tropical fish, dashing among gaps in the coral．in Paragraph 6?A．Many fish quickly moving through the coral．B．Fish moving toward the center, or target, of the coral．C．Structured, orderly groups of young fish without a clear path．D．Fish exploding when they come into contact with gaps in the coral．32.What is this passage mostly about?A．The causes of reef problems an possible solutions．B．Coral bleaching, which causes the reef to turn white．C．The history of tourism to the Great Barrier Reef．D．Overfishing and higher temperatures．DTexting pedestrians arena' t just an annoyance to their fellow walkers, but something dangerous to themselves．“1 was checking emails while walking to work this morning," said Wilbert van den Hoorn．“But it has a serious influence on the safety of people who type or read text while walking．"Anecdotes back him up．A tourist from Taiwan walked off a port near Melbourne last month while checking Face book-bringing an abrupt, and icy end to a penguin- watching visit．Another shopper in the U．S．was too addicted to his mobile phone to notice the fountain ahead! walking straight into it．And as mobile-phone use has grown-to about 77% of the world's population, the study says-so has the number of phone-related accidents．The number of U．S．emergency-room visits linked to phone use on the move doubled to as many as l,500 between 2005 and 2010, an Ohio State University study recently showed．Authorities world-wide have taken note．Signs on Hong Kong's subway system advise passengers in three languages to keep their eyes off their phones．Police and transport authorities have also warned the danger in Singapore, where the Straits Times newspaper ranked it as No．2 Bad Habit"' due to the rising number of road deaths．Some U．S．states, including New York and Arkansas, are even considering bans on this act．The Australian study used 26 volunteers, a third of whom admitted having hit objects while texting．They were fitted with different equipment in different parts of their body, and asked to walk 8．5 meters three times-once without a phone, once while reading a text and once while writing a text-while eight cameras captured the action．V olunteers using the phone walked slower and with shorter steps （and slowest of all when typing）, and! more seriously, they locked their arms and elbows in-like “robots", in the researchers' words．That forced their heads to move more, throwing them off balance．“In a pedestrian environment, inability to maintain a straight path would be likely to increase potential for hits, falls and traffic accidents," said Mr．van den Hoorn．“The best thing to do is to step aside and stop, or keep off the phone．"33.Which of the following about” Texting pedestrians" is WRONG?A．People who type while walking．B．People who phone while walking．C．People who text while walking．D．People who read text message while walking．34.The writer uses the two examples in Paragraph 3 to showA．the advantages of mobile phonesB．the use of mobile phones in waterC．the use of mobile phones in a wrong wayD．the popularity of mobile phones35.What is New York and Arkansas' attitude to texting pedestrians?A．Considering forbidding their acts．B．Ranking it as” No．l Bad Habit"．C．Setting up signs to warn them．D．Equipping them with advanced machines．36.Why are texting pedestrians likely to hit or fall according to the passage?A．They walk too fast．B．They lock their arms and elbows．C．They are out of balance．D．They walk with longer steps．37.What is the best title for the passage?A．Text message or e-mail only?B．Ways to avoid fallsC．Mobile phones for entertainmentD．Safety or text message?三、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项。

They can reach speeds as high as 60 miles per hour．The cubs reach their top speed when they are about a year old．The National Zoo's first litt8r of cheetah cubs was born in November 2004．When almost a year old, those cubs weighed more than 30 pounds．Zazi's cubs stay with her for at least a year．When they are fully grown, the cats may be sent to other zoos．Cheetahs are endangered animals．About 100 years ago, the wild cats roamed an area from North Africa to India．Today, cheetahs inhabit only the countries south of the Sahara desert．Just 12,000 to 15,000 now live in the wild．21.The writer's attitude toward cheetahs seems to be ．A．doubtful and afraid B．caring and admiringC．uncaring ．D．complaining22.Animal keeper Lauren Afdahl's comments are ．A．disappointed B．softC．descriptive and matter of act D．angry and unfriedly23.The main idea of this passage is ．A．Cheetahs are interesting animalsB．Wben the cubs were 10 weeks old, they weighed 9 poundsC．Female cheetahs can give birth only once a yearD．Cheetahs like to run24.Based on the article', we can guess that the author is probably ．A．afraid of cheetahs ．B．working at a zooC．a trained animal doctor D．in favor of protecting cheetahsB“You get excited about everything because you were born in the summer!” Does that sound like something your grandparents used to say to you?Of course, you’re a learned person who doesn’t believe in such things. But scientists now say that it might not all be superstition (迷信).Researchers from Semmelweis University in Hungary recently asked 366 university students to fill out a questionnaire. The answers given included things like “My mood often changes for no reason”, “I love to deal with new projects, even if they’re risky ”, and “I complain a lot”. They then compared students’ answers to their birthdays. They found that the season of your birth may have some effect on who you are.Researchers found that people born in the summer were more likely to quickly change between sad and happy emotions. People born in the winter, however, were less likely to become angry. Spring birthdays were more likely to make people overly positive, while people born in autumn were less likely to be depressive (忧郁的).So, why could the seasons cause such differences?“Biochemical studie s have shown that the season in which you are born affects some monoamine neurotransmitters (单胺类神经递质),” lead researcher Xenia Gonda said in a written statement. “This led us to believe that birth season may have a longer-lasting effect.”Monoamine neurotransmitters are given off from neurones (神经元细胞). They affect our emotions. So the researchers believe they might have an effect on the development of our personalities.Different seasons also have different food and nutrients (养分) to offer. In addition, mothers usually get more physical exercise and enjoy more sunlight in warm seasons than in cold seasons. All these are “environmental factors ” which may influence a person’s personality, said Gonda.But the research only included a survey and didn’t follow pa rticipants over time. More research is needed before a final answer can be given on the connection between season and personality.Don’t worry, though. Even if the connection is proven, it won’t mean that your birth month completely decides who you are. Being happy or sad is up to you.25.The study from Semmelweis University in Hungary intended to prove that _________________.A. a person’s birth season might affect their monoamine neurotransmittersB. monoamine neurotransmitters might be connected to our emotionsC. people’s personalities might depend on environmental factorsD. the season of a person’s birthday may affect their personality26.According to the research, people with emotional instability are more likely to be born in .A. springB. summerC. autumnD. winter27.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The season of your birth decides who you are.B. Physical exercise can change your personality.C. You can change your personality regardless of your birth season.D. A lot of research has been done on how someone’s birth season affects their personality.CJoin the F amily Read-Aloud Celebration, held by the Gonda Family Library and the Family School Allian ce at UCLA Lab School, from February 21 to March 14,2014.

She had written letters to the local paper, even to a national to protest about our projected by-pass to her village, and, looking at a map, the route was nowhere near where she lived and it wasn’t as if the area was attractive. I was more than puzzled, I was intrigued. I wanted to know what it was that motivated her. So it was that I found myself knocking on a cottage door, being received by Mary Smith and then being taken for a walk to the woods.“I’ve always loved this place”, she said, “it has a lot of memories for me, and for others. We all used it. They called it ‘Lovers lane’. It’s not much of a lane, and it doesn’t go anywhere important, but that’s why we all came here. To be away from people, to be by ourselves.” She added.It was indeed pleasant that day and the songs of many birds could be heard. Squirrels gazed from the branches, quite bold in their movements, obviously few people passed this way and they had nothing to fear. I could imagine the noise of vehicles passing through these peaceful woods when the by-pass was built, so I felt that she probably had something there but as I hold strong opinions about the needs of the community over-riding the opinions of private individuals, I said nothing. The village was quite a distant and dangerous place because of the traffic especially for old people and children, their safety was more important to me than an old woman’s whims (怪念头).“Take this tree”, she said pausing after a short while. “To you it is just that, a tree. Not unlike many others here”. She gently touched the bark. “Look here, under this branch, what can you see?”“It looks as if someone has done a bit of carving with a knife” I said after a cursory (草率的) inspection.“Yes, that’s what it is!” she said softly. “There are letters and a lover’s heart”.I looked again, this time more carefully. The heart was still there and there was an arrow through it. The let ters on one side were indistinct, but on the other an ‘R’ was clearly visible with what looked like an ‘I’ after it. “Some budding romance?” I asked, “Did you know who they were?”“Oh yes, I knew them”, said Mary Smith, “it says RH loves MS”.After a pause, she went on … “He had a penknife and I helped him to carve my initials.We were very much in love, but he was going away, and could not tell me what he was involved in the army. I had guessed of course. It was the last evening we ever spent together, because he went away the next day, back to his Unit.”Mary Smith was quiet for a while, then she sobbed, “His mother showed me the telegram.‘Sergeant R Holmes ... Killed in action in the invasion of France.’”I realized that I could be getting out of my depth, and longed to be in my office, awayfrom here and this old lady, snug, and with a cup of tea in my hand.There was a further pause. Mary Smith gently touched the wounded tree, just as she would have caressed him. “And now they want to take our tree away from me.” Another quiet sob, then she turned to me. “I was young and pretty then, I could have had anybody, I wasn’t always the old woman you see here now. I could have had everything I wanted in life,a lovely man, health and a future to l ook forwards to”.She paused again and looked around. The breeze gently moved through the leaves with a sighing sound. “There were others, of course, but not a patch on my Robin!” she said strongly.“And now I have nothing except the memories this tree holds. If only I could get my hands on that awful man who writes in the paper about the value of the road they are going to build where we are standing now, I would tell him. Has he never loved, has he never lived, does he not know anything about memories? We were not the only ones, you know, I still meet some who came here as Robin and I did. Yes, I would tell him!”I turned away, sick at heart.32.Why was the by-pass to Mary Smith’s village to be built through these woods?A. The community wanted to explore the beauty of the woods as a way of tourism.B. Many people passed these woods causing heavy traffic jam.C. The traffic was inconvenient making the village a dangerous place to live in.D. The village was quite far away and its economy needed improving.33.The underlined sentence “I felt that she probably had something there” means ________.A. I thought there might be something hidden in the woods by Mary SmithB. I guessed there might be a story related with Mary SmithC. I thought there might be some reason for Mary Smith’s protestD. I guessed there might be a secret purpose of Mary Smith.34.The main purpose of this passage is to ________.A. draw attention to the damage that wars causeB. persuade people to give up private interestC. arouse the awareness of being environmentally friendlyD. introduce a touching but sad love story三、七选五根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余的选项.—Mary，we are going to have a party on New Year’s Eve.I’m sure we’ll have a good time35.—I’d like to.36.—In our classroom.

A report.BFreedom and ResponsibilityFreedom’s challenge in the Digital Age is a serious topic. We are facing today a strange new world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it.Some 2,500 years ago Greece discovered freedom. Before that there was no freedom. There were great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhere. Egypt and Babylon were both tyrannies, one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses.In Greece, in Athens (雅典), a little city in a little country, there were no helpless masses. And Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed, and the unwritten, which must be obeyed if free men live together. They must show each other kindness and pity and the many qualities without which life would be very painful unless one chose to live alone in the desert.The Athenians never thought that a man was free if he could do what he wanted. A man was free if he was self-controlled. To make yourself obey what you approved was freedom. They were saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair. Each one felt responsible for the welfare of Athens, not because it was forced on him from the outside, but because the city was his pride and his safety. The essential belief of the first free government in the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for the state.But discovering freedom is not like discovering computers. It cannot be discovered once for all. If people do not prize it, and work for it, it will go. Constant watch is its price. Athens changed. It was a change that took place without being noticed though it was of the extreme importance, a spiritual change which affected the whole state. It had been the Athenian’ s pride and joy to give to their city. That they could get material benefits from her never entered their minds. There had to be a complete change of attitude before they could look at the city as an employer who paid her citizens for doing her work. Now instead of men giving to the state, the state was to give to them. What the people wanted was a government which would provide a comfortable life for them; and with this as the primary object, ideas of freedom and self-reliance and responsibility were neglected to the point ofdisappearing. Athens was more and more looked on as a cooperative business possessed of great wealth in which all citizens had a right to share.Athens reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom from responsibility. There could be only one result. If men insisted on being free from the burden of self-dependence and responsibility for the common good, they would cease to be free. Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom. It is to be had on no other terms. Athens, the Athens of Ancient Greece, refused responsibility; she reached the end of freedom and was never to have it again.But, “the excellent becomes the permanent”, Aristotle said. Athens lost freedom forever, but freedom was not lost forever for the world. A great American, James Madison, referred to: “The capacity (能力) of mankind for self-government.” No doubt he had not an idea that he was speaking Greek. Athens was not in the farthest background of his mind, but once man has a great and good idea, it is never completely lost. The Digital Age cannot destroy it. Some how in this or that man’s thought such an idea lives though unconsidered by the world of action. One can never be sure that it is not on the point of breaking out into action only sure that it will do so sometime.25.What does the underlined word “tyrannies” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Countries where their people need help.B. Powerful states with higher civilization.C. Splendid empires where people enjoy freedom.D. Governments ruled with absolute power.26.People believing in freedom are those who________ .A. regard their life as their own businessB. seek gains as their primary objectC. behave within the laws and value systemsD. treat others with kindness and pity27.What change in attitude took place in Athens?A. The Athenians refused to take their responsibility.B. The Athenians no longer took pride in the city.C. The Athenians benefited spiritually from the government.D. The Athenians looked on the government as a business.28.What does the sentence “There could be only one result.” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Athens would continue to be free.B. Athens would cease to have freedom.C. Freedom would come from responsibility.D. Freedom would stop Athens from self-dependence.29.Why does the author refer to Aristotle and Madison?A. The author is hopeful about freedom.B. The author is cautious about self-government.C. The author is skeptical of Greek civilization.D. The author is proud of man’s capacity.30.What is the author’s understanding of freedom?A. Freedom can be more popular in the digital age.B. Freedom may come to an end in the digital age.C. Freedom should have priority over responsibility.D. Freedom needs to be guaranteed by responsibility.CIn 2004, when my daughter Becky was ten, she and my husband, Joe, were united in their desire for a dog. As for me, I shared none of their canine lust.But why, they pleaded. “Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” But we’ll do it. “Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” Yes, yes, and yes. “I don’t believe you.” We will. We promise.They didn’t. F rom day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day) , neither thought to walk the dog. While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to schedule her vet appointments, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one. As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small, medium, and large), she calculated ,”The medium one is the sucker in the pack .”Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵融合) . She’d look at m e with those sad brown eyes of hers, beam her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand — which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she became my fifth appendage(附肢), snoring on my home-office couch as I worked, cradling against my feet as I read, and splaying across my stomach as I watched television.Even so, part of me continued to resent walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised. Not fair , I’d balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked . “Not fair, ” I’ d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home.Then one day — January 1, 2007 , to be exact —my husband ’ s doctor uttered an unthinkable word: leukemia ( 白血病) .With that, I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital, doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of hospitalizations, Becky, 12 at the time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment's notice for medical emergencies. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with.As the months went by, I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the day's upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.When serious illness visits your household, it's not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you know acts differently.Not Misty. Take her for a walk, and she had no interest in Joe's blood counts or bone marrow test results. On the street or in the park, she had only one thing on her mind: squirrels! She was so joyous that even on the worst days, she could make me smile. On a daily basis, she reminded me that life goes on.After Joe died in 2009, Misty slept on his pillow.I'm grateful一to a point. The truth is, after years of balking, I've come to enjoy my walks with Misty. As I watch her chase after a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminds me, too, thatno matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future , there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.31.why didn't the writer agree to raise a dog at the beginning of the story?A.

It helped display their money status.B. It was created by famous architects.C. It was named after a famous institute.D. It represented the 19th century urban culture.22.What is unique of SieMatic BeauxArts?A. Its designs are anti-conventional.B. Its designs come from famous structures.C. Its customers can enjoy their own composition.D. Its customers can choose from various new styles.BEveryone looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person’s ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead to a better life and a better way of doing things.All these, however, remain true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.However,at the back of the minds of many people,especially those who miss the “good old days”, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes moreefficient,people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish .The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or to see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication gadets, such as mobile phones and ipads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally.A personal visit carries with the additional feature of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse our selves or turn the other persons off.With efficiency also comes mass production.Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today.Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handcrafts(手工艺品) are now produced in a factory.Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people’s attitude. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our need s, a new “past” is created.23.According to Paragraph 1, progress can benefit people when they are willing to _______.A. live a better lifeB. look for better methodsC. change ways of livingD. accept technology and advance steadily24.The underlined word “gadgets” is closest in meaning to _______.A. toolsB. messagesC. barriersD. skills25.The author explains “efficiency comes with a price” by _______.A. describing a processB. using examplesC. following time orderD. making classificationpared with home-made handicrafts, machine made products _______.A. lack great accuracyB. lack the personal touchC. are of high valueD. are quite welcome27.What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4?A. It can destroy old traditions.B. It can lead to social progress.C. It can be used to correct mistakes.D. It can be used to preserve old products.28.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. Progress can suit the needs of daily life.B. People review the past with great regret.C. Technology should be introduced in a fixed way.D. People’s attitude decides the use of technology.CIt was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore. Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan.Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and—most important —sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater. Mr. Bellow did not mind if you did.That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.We’d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke.Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They’re really memori es of the screen, not memories of my life.29.In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner?A. 1952B. 1962C. 1972D. 198230.What does the underlined word”It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The heatB. The theater.C. The Music ManD. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance31.What do we know about Mr. Bellow?A. He loved children very much.B. He was a fan of John Wayne.C. He sold air conditioners.D. He was a movie star.32.Why did the author and his/her brother see the same movies several times?A. The two movies were really wonderful.B. They wanted to avoid the heat outside.C. The manager of the theater was friendly.D. They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater.33.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The author turned out to be a great singer.B. The author enjoyed the heat wave of 1962.C. The author’s life has been changed by the two movies.D. The author considers the experience at the theater unforgettable.DWhen I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor of the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University（SMU）in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn’t afford the operation because her family was poor.Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas.She was cleaning out the attic（阁楼）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript（手稿）. On its top page w ere the words, “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Gainestown boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henry’s.My father then set out to sell it. Eventfully, he found himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loved the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about. But I doubt that it could have been better than his own story.34.Who found the O. Henry’s manuscript?A. The girl’s mother.B. The author’s father.C. The girl.D. The author.35.Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic?A. O. Henry once worked in Houston.B. O. Henry once stayed in Galveston.C. O. Henry once moved to Des Moines.D. O. Henry once taught at SMU.36.The underlined word “authenticated” in Paragr aph 2 probably means __________.A. namedB. treatedC. provedD. described37.According to the text, why did the author’s father go to Des Moines?A. To sell the O. Henry story.B. To meet the author himself.C. To talk with the O. Henry expert.D. To give money to the girl.三、七选五This Way to DreamlandDaydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for beingunaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetf ul and clumsy._38.__They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. __39.__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots orotherwise looking like a fool?First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others.Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.__40. _ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it w hile you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower orwalking, or even making meaningless drawings.It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concerntrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep._41. _Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.____42.Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in theclouds.A. Having interesting things to think about also helps.B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relatively, Coke or Post-it notes.D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hardto understand.G. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re inthe daydream zone.四、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Do you still remember the unopened word game?〞The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, “Oh, hi!〞“I’ve got something for you,〞Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000.

Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body.However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It's an opportunity to be social, release endorphins , and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor.Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you. It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision of a fitness instructor. If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, !you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track. Don't let fitness frighten you!If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive.

There are charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant buildings. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman.It was too much for Mark. "The problems are too big," he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said, "I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here."Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop. "People should just take care of themselves, "he decided. "That' s enough to do.

Mark ran to take the boy's arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. "Thanks! "she said. "You've got great timing!""Just being neighborly," Mark said. As he rode home, he glanced at the walls of the bus. On one of them was "Small acts of kindness add up.

I visited a photographic exhibition of elephants and I realized that the only way to travel is on an elephant.Reporter:What did you do next?Chris:I flew to New Delhi and started looking for an elephant. I needed an elephant trained to carry people. I didn’t know anything about elephants, so I asked an expert for help. He taught me how to ride an elephant.

One who has integrity is bound by and follows moral and ethical (道德上的) standards even when making life's hard choices, choices which may be clouded by stress, pressure to succeed, or temptation.What happens if we lie, cheat, steal, or violate other ethical standards? We feel disappointed in ourselves and ashamed. But a lapse (缺失) of integrity also affects our relationships with others. Trust is essential in any important relationship, whether personal or professional. Who can trust someone who is dishonest or unfair? Thus integrity must be one of our most important goals.Risky BusinessWe are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision, making process has been undermined by stress or peer pressure. The real test of character is whether we can learn from our mistake, by understanding why we acted as we did and then exploring ways to avoid similar problems in the future.Making ethical decisions is a critical part of avoiding future problems. We must learn to recognize risks, because if we can't see the risks we're taking, we can't make responsible choices. To identify risks, we need to know the rules and be aware of the facts. For example, one who doesn't know the rules a about plagiarism (剽窃) may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote and cite sources as required. But the fact that such a violation is "unintentional" does not excuse the misconduct, Ignorance is not a defense."But Everybody Does It"Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts but manage to fool themselves about the risks they're taking by using excuses: "Everyone else does it." "I'm not hurting anyone", or "I really need this grade." Excuses can get very elaborate: "I know I'm look at another's exam, even though I'm supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that's not cheating because I’m just checking my answers, not copying." We must be honest about our actions and avoid excuses, if we fool ourselves into believing we're not doing anything wrong, we can't see the real choice we're making - and that leads to bad decisions.To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if your actions were public and anyone could be watching over yore shoulder. If you'd rather hide your actions, that's an indication that you're taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself.Evaluating RisksTo decide whether a risk is worth taking, you must examine the consequences, in the future as well as right now, negative as well as positive, and to others as well as to yourself. Those who take risks they later regret usually focus on immolate benefits and simply haven't considered what might go wrong. The consequences of getting caught are serious and may include a "O" on a test or assignment, an "F" in the class, suspension (暂令停学) or dismissal from school and a ruined reputation. In fact, when you break a role or law, you lose control over your life and give others the power to impose punishment that you have no control over. This is an extremely vulnerable (脆弱的) position. There may be some matters of life and death or highest principle, which might justify such a risk, but there aren't many things that fall in this category.Getting Away with it - Or NotThose who don't get caught pay an even higher price. A cheater doesn't learn from the test, which deprives (剥夺) him her of an education. Cheating undermines confidence and independence: the cheater is a fraud, and knows that without dishonesty, he/she would have failed. Cheating destroys self-respect and integrity, leaving the cheater ashamed, guilty and afraid of getting caught.Worst of all, a cheater who doesn't get caught the first time usually cheats again, not only because he/she is farther behind, but also because it seems "easier." This slippery slope of eroding ethics and bigger risks leads only to disaster. Eventually, the cheater gets caught, and the later he/she gets caught, the worse the consequences.Cheating Hurts Other, TooCheaters often feel invisible, as if their actions "don't count" and don't really hurt anyone. But individual choices have an intense cumulative (累积的) effect. Cheating can spread like a disease. Recent statistics suggest 30％ or more of college students cheat. If a class is graded on a curve, cheating hurts others' grades. Even if there is no curve, cheating "poisons" the classroom, and others may feel pressured to join in. ("If I don't cheat I can't compete with those who do") Cheating also has a destructive impact on teachers. The real reward of goof teaching is seeing students learn. But a cheater says. "I'm not interested in what you're trying to teach, all I care about is stealing a grade, regardless of the effect on others." The end result is a destructive attack on the quality of your education. Finally, cheating can hurt the reputation of the university and harm those who worked hard for their degree.Why Integrity MartenIf cheating becomes the norm, then we are in big trouble. We must rely on the honesty and good faith of others, if not, we couldn't put money in the bank, buy food, clothing, or medicine from others, drive across a bridge, get on a plane, go to the dentist--the list is endless. There are many examples of the vast harm that is caused when individuals forget or ignore the effect their dishonesty can have. The savings and loan scandal, the stock market and junk bond swindles, and, of course, Watergate, have undermined the faith of many Americans in the integrity of political and economic leaders and society as a whole. Such incidents take a tremendous toll on our nation's economy and our individual well-being. For example, but for the savings and loan debacle, there might be funds available to reduce the national debt and pay for education.In sum, we all have a common stake in our school, our community, and our society. Our actions do matter. It is essential that we act with integrity in order to build the kind of world in which we want to live.29.

Violation of a rule is misconduct even if _______?A. it has caused no harm.B. it is claimed to be unintentional.C. it has gone unnoticed.D. it is committed with good intentions.DBritish Cuisine: the Best of Old and NewBritish cuisine (烹饪) has come of age in recent years as chefs (厨师) combine the best of old and new. Why does British food have a reputation for being so bad? Because it is bad! Those are not the most encouraging words to hear just before eating lunch at one of Hong Kong's smartest British restaurants, Alfie's by KEE, but head chef Neil Tomes has more to say."The past 15 years or so have been a noticeable period of improvement for food in England," the English chef says, citing the trend in British cuisine for better ingredients, preparation and cooking methods, and more appealing presentation. Chefs such as Delia Smith, Nigel Slater, Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay made the public realise that cooking - and eating - didn't have to be a boring thing. And now, most of the British public is familiar even with the extremes of Heston BlumenthaPs molecular gastronomy, a form of cooking that employs scientific methods to create the perfect dish."It's no longer the case that the common man in England is embarrassed to show he knows about food," Tomes says.There was plenty of room for improvement. The problems with the nation's cuisine can be traced back to the Second World War. Before the War, much of Britain's food was imported and when German U-boats began attacking ships bringing food to the country, Britain went on rations (配给)."As rationing came to an end in the 1950s, technology picked up and was used to mass-produce food," Tomes says. "And by then people were just happy to have a decent quantity of food in their kitchens."They weren't looking for cured meats, organic produce or beautiful presentation; they were looking for whatever they could get their hands on, and this prioritisation of quantity over quality prevailed for decades,meaning a generation was brought up with food that couldn't compete with neighbouring France, Italy, Belgium or Spain.Before star chefs such as Oliver began making cooking fashionable, it was hard to find a restaurant in London that was open after 9pm. But in recent years the capital's culinary (烹饪的) scene has developed to the point that it is now confident of its ability to please the tastes of any international visitor.With the opening of Alfie's in April, and others such as The Pawn, two years ago, modern British food has made its way to Hong Kong. "With British food, I think that Hong Kong restaurants are keeping up," says David Tamlyn, the Welsh executive chef at The Pawn in Wan Chai. "Hong Kong diners are extremely responsive to new ideas or presentations, which is good news for new dishes."Chefs agree that diners in Hong Kong are embracing the modern British trend. Some restaurants are modifying the recipes (菜谱) of British dishes to breathe new life into the classics, while others are using better quality ingredients but remaining true to British traditions and tastes.Tamlyn is in the second camp. "We select our food very particularly. We use US beef, New Zealand lamb and for our custards (牛奶蛋糊)we use Bird's Custard Powder," Tamlyn says. "Some restaurants go for custard made fresh with eggs, sugar and cream, but British custard is different, and we stay true to that."Matthew Hill, senior manager at the two-year-old SoHo restaurant Yorkshire Pudding, also uses better ingredients as a means of improving dishes. "There are a lot of existing perceptions about British food and so we can't alter these too much. We're a traditional British restaurant so there are some staples (主菜) that will remain essentially unchanged."These traditional dishes include fish and chips, steak and kidney pie and large pieces of roasted meats. At Alfie's, the newest of the British restaurants in town and perhaps the most gentlemen's club-like in design, Neil Tomes explains his passion for provenance (原产地)."Britain has started to become really proud of the food it's producing. It has excellent organic farms, beautifully crafted cheeses, high-quality meats." However, the British don't have a history of exporting their foodstuffs, which makes it difficult for restaurants in Hong Kong to source authentic ingredients."We can get a lot of our ingredients once a week from the UK," Tamlyn explains. "But there is also pressure to buy local and save on food miles, which means we take our vegetables from the local markets, and there are a lot that work well with British staples."The Phoenix, in Mid-Levels, offers the widest interpretation of "British cuisine", while still trying to maintain its soul. The gastro-pub has existed in various locations in Hong Kong since 2002. Singaporean head chef Tommy Teh Kum Chai offers daily specials on a blackboard, rather than sticking to a menu. This enables him to reinterpret British cuisine depending on what is available in the local markets."We use a lot of ingredients that people wouldn't perhaps associate as British, but are presented in a British way. Bell peppers stuffed with couscous, alongside ratatouille, is a very popular dish."Although the ingredients may not strike diners as being traditional, they can be found in dishes across Britain.Even the traditional chefs are aware of the need to adapt to local tastes and customs, while maintaining the Britishness of their cuisine.At Yorkshire Pudding, Hill says that his staff asks diners whether they would like to share their meals. Small dishes, shared meals and "mixing it up" is not something commonly done in Britain, but Yorkshire Pudding will bring full dishes to the table and offer individual plates for each diner. "That way, people still get the presentation of the dishes as they were designed, but can carve them up however they like," Hill says. This practice is also popular at The Pawn, although largely for rotisseries (烤肉馆),Tamlyn says. "Some tables will arrive on a Sunday, order a whole chicken and a shoulder of lamb or a baby pig, and just stay for hours enjoying everything we bring out for them."Some British traditions are too sacred (神圣的)to mess with, however, Tomes says. "I'd never changea full English breakfast."33. With culinary improvement in recent years, London's restaurants are now able to appeal to the tastes of .A. most young peopleB. elderly British dinersC. all kinds of overseas visitorsD. upper-class customers34. What do Hong Kong diners welcome, according to Welsh executive chef David Tamlyn?A. Authentic classic cuisine.B.Locally produced ingredients.C. New ideas and presentations.D. The return of home-style dishes.35.Why does Neil Tomes say he loves food ingredients from Britain?A. They appeal to people from all over the world.B. They are produced on excellent organic farms.C. They are processed in a scientific way.D. They come in a great variety.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care.What I 1mos t about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we 2ate our meal.

I could feel he was a caring man through the glass.I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often 6me early in themorning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the ph one. No pleasant 7or inquiry about my life, just financial instructions. This manner of his 8me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his 9morning calls.

Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (农村的) and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner table, isa common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriageswith cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.21.According to the passage, sharing bread______.A. indicates a lack of foodB. can help to develop unityC. is a custom unique to rural areasD. has its roots in birthday celebrations22.What does the coin in vasilopita signify for its receiver in the New Year?A. Trust.B. Success.C. Health.D. Togetherness.23.The author explains the role of food in celebrations by______.A. using examplesB. making comparisonsC. analyzing causesD. describing processes24.What is the passage mainly about?A. The custom of sharing food.B. The specific meaning of food.C. The role of food in ceremonies.D. The importance of food in culture.BKatie was in big trouble．She was such a sweet kid; a third - grade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katie’s she was never ever a discipline（纪律）problem．I just couldn't imagine why she had made her parents so angry．It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom．Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch．They assumed a sit - down with Katie would solve the problem, but failed．So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.So the next day, I asked Katie to my office．"Why are you charging lunches, Katie?

Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take "direct action", even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage. And the generous subsidies (财政补贴) , which encourage the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents (居民) .Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion(比例) to the benefits they bring, because their energy outputcannot match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace.Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables, nuclear and carbon, and that the country is committed to meeting EU ( European Union) targets for non-carbonenergy generation.Against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms' impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary. The two parties in the coalition (联合) government are indisagreement over what it should say.We have some advice for the two parties: publish the report, and let the country be the judge. Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them. Equally, supporters must argue their case byacknowledging the concerns and explaining why they are either misplaced or worthy ofmuch attention.The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an "acceptable"report suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country harm in a certain way. Given the sensitivities involved, all the information should be available so that people can reach their own conclusions, rather than being left with the suspicion（猜疑）that facts are being replaced by political beliefs.21.We can learn from the first paragraph that__________.A. energy policy catches much attention of the publicB. the residents are in favor of the expansion of wind farmsC. many village communities are satisfied with the subsidiesD. the planning laws offer great benefits to the residents22.Supporters think that the expansion of wind power____.A. is more rapid than that of carbon-based powerB. guarantees an increase in energy outputC. is expected to be much better than that of nuclear powerD. agrees with EU targets for non-carbon energy generation23.It can be inferred from the passage that____.A. an official report will settle the energy problemB. the two parties are divided over the issue of wind farmsC. the two parties have agreed on a further negotiationD. political beliefs concerning energy issue go against facts24.Which of the following reflects the author's opinion?A. Increase political impact on energy policy.B. Release a statement of supporters on wind farms.C. Let the nation judge the facts about wind power.D. Leave the two parties to reach their own conclusions.BIt was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收费站). “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed in her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to co py it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!25.Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A. She knew the car drivers well.B. She wanted to show kindness.C. She hoped to please others.D. She had seven tickets.26.Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she .A. thought it was beautifully writtenB. wanted to know what it really meantC. decided to write it on a warehouse wallD. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom27.Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?A. Judy Foreman.B. Natalie Smith.C. Alice Johnson.D. Anne Herbert.28.Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence above?A. Kindness and violence can change the world.B. Kindness and violence can affect one’s behavior.C. Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.D. Kindness and violence can shape one’s character.29.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. People should practice random kindness to those in need.B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.CBLOOD DRIVE ＆MARROW（骨髓）REGISTRATION“These patients deserve a chance at a normal, happy future and they rely on the kindness of the strangers to make that happen.—Daisy, Isabelle’s MotherIsabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei. In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed （诊断）with a genetic blood disorder，beta thalassemia. Isabelle’s body is unable to producehealthy red blood cells. As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions (输血) every 4-6weeks since she was 11 months old. A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems. Her only chance at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow transplant. Isabelle is an only child, so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through the Be The Match Registry.

The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放）by 80 percent by 2050, partof which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2016. But this reportshows that sustainable building design on its own — though extremely important- is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too.The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率)，which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.‘Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,’explains Katy Janda, aUKERC senior researcher，‘consumption patterns of bui lding users can defeat the mostcareful design. ’In other words，old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home.Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill-payers don’t have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information，it’s hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈）facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors，could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings usingsmart meters.Social science research has added a further dimension (方面），suggesting thatindividuals’behaviour in the home c an be personal and cannot be predicted whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器) , for example.Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.33.As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of________.A. zero-carbon homesB. the behaviour of building usersC. sustainable building designD. the reduction of carbon emissions34.The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to”________.”A. the waysB. their homesC. developmentsD. existing efforts35.What are Katy Janda’s word s mainly about?A. The importance of changing building users’habits.B. The necessity of making a careful building design.C. The variety of consumption patterns of building users.D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.36.The information gap in energy use _______.A. can be bridged by feedback facilitiesB. affects the study on energy monitorsC. brings about problems for smart metersD. will be caused by building users’ old habits37.What does the dimension added by social science research suggest?A. The social science research is to be furthered.B. The education programme is under discussion.C. The behaviour of building users is unpredictable.D. The behaviour preference of building users is similar.三、七选五（2015陕西高考真题）根据短文内容，从下框的A~F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

A report.BFreedom and ResponsibilityFreedom’s challenge in the Digital Age is a serious topic. We are facing today a strange new world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it.Some 2,500 years ago Greece discovered freedom. Before that there was no freedom. There were great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhere. Egypt and Babylon were both tyrannies, one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses.In Greece, in Athens (雅典), a little city in a little country, there were no helpless masses. And Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed, and the unwritten, which must be obeyed if free men live together. They must show each other kindness and pity and the many qualities without which life would be very painful unless one chose to live alone in the desert.The Athenians never thought that a man was free if he could do what he wanted. A man was free if he was self-controlled. To make yourself obey what you approved was freedom. They were saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair. Each one felt responsible for the welfare of Athens, not because it was forced on him from the outside, but because the city was his pride and his safety. The essential belief of the first free government in the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for the state.But discovering freedom is not like discovering computers. It cannot be discovered once for all. If people do not prize it, and work for it, it will go. Constant watch is its price. Athens changed. It was a change that took place without being noticed though it was of the extreme importance, a spiritual change which affected the whole state. It had been the Athenian’ s pride and joy to give to their city. That they could get material benefits from her never entered their minds. There had to be a complete change of attitude before they could look at the city as an employer who paid her citizens for doing her work. Now instead of men giving to the state, the state was to give to them. What the people wanted was a government which would provide a comfortable life for them; and with this as the primary object, ideas of freedom and self-reliance and responsibility were neglected to the point ofdisappearing. Athens was more and more looked on as a cooperative business possessed of great wealth in which all citizens had a right to share.Athens reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom from responsibility. There could be only one result. If men insisted on being free from the burden of self-dependence and responsibility for the common good, they would cease to be free. Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom. It is to be had on no other terms. Athens, the Athens of Ancient Greece, refused responsibility; she reached the end of freedom and was never to have it again.But, “the excellent becomes the permanent”, Aristotle said. Athens lost freedom forever, but freedom was not lost forever for the world. A great American, James Madison, referred to: “The capacity (能力) of mankind for self-government.” No doubt he had not an idea that he was speaking Greek. Athens was not in the farthest background of his mind, but once man has a great and good idea, it is never completely lost. The Digital Age cannot destroy it. Some how in this or that man’s thought such an idea lives though unconsidered by the world of action. One can never be sure that it is not on the point of breaking out into action only sure that it will do so sometime.25.What does the underlined word “tyrannies” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Countries where their people need help.B. Powerful states with higher civilization.C. Splendid empires where people enjoy freedom.D. Governments ruled with absolute power.26.People believing in freedom are those who________ .A. regard their life as their own businessB. seek gains as their primary objectC. behave within the laws and value systemsD. treat others with kindness and pity27.What change in attitude took place in Athens?A. The Athenians refused to take their responsibility.B. The Athenians no longer took pride in the city.C. The Athenians benefited spiritually from the government.D. The Athenians looked on the government as a business.28.What does the sentence “There could be only one result.” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Athens would continue to be free.B. Athens would cease to have freedom.C. Freedom would come from responsibility.D. Freedom would stop Athens from self-dependence.29.Why does the author refer to Aristotle and Madison?A. The author is hopeful about freedom.B. The author is cautious about self-government.C. The author is skeptical of Greek civilization.D. The author is proud of man’s capacity.30.What is the author’s understanding of freedom?A. Freedom can be more popular in the digital age.B. Freedom may come to an end in the digital age.C. Freedom should have priority over responsibility.D. Freedom needs to be guaranteed by responsibility.CIn 2004, when my daughter Becky was ten, she and my husband, Joe, were united in their desire for a dog. As for me, I shared none of their canine lust.But why, they pleaded. “Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” But we’ll do it. “Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” Yes, yes, and yes. “I don’t believe you.” We will. We promise.They didn’t. F rom day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day) , neither thought to walk the dog. While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to schedule her vet appointments, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one. As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small, medium, and large), she calculated ,”The medium one is the sucker in the pack .”Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵融合) . She’d look at m e with those sad brown eyes of hers, beam her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand — which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she became my fifth appendage(附肢), snoring on my home-office couch as I worked, cradling against my feet as I read, and splaying across my stomach as I watched television.Even so, part of me continued to resent walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised. Not fair , I’d balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked . “Not fair, ” I’ d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home.Then one day — January 1, 2007 , to be exact —my husband ’ s doctor uttered an unthinkable word: leukemia ( 白血病) .With that, I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital, doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of hospitalizations, Becky, 12 at the time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment's notice for medical emergencies. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with.As the months went by, I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the day's upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.When serious illness visits your household, it's not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you know acts differently.Not Misty. Take her for a walk, and she had no interest in Joe's blood counts or bone marrow test results. On the street or in the park, she had only one thing on her mind: squirrels! She was so joyous that even on the worst days, she could make me smile. On a daily basis, she reminded me that life goes on.After Joe died in 2009, Misty slept on his pillow.I'm grateful一to a point. The truth is, after years of balking, I've come to enjoy my walks with Misty. As I watch her chase after a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminds me, too, thatno matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future , there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.31.why didn't the writer agree to raise a dog at the beginning of the story?A. She was afraid the dog would get the family into trouble.B. It would be her business to take care of the dog.C. Her husband and daughter were united as one.D.

The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory.

The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exitingthrough the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.37.Which of the following best describe Dali according to Paragraph 1?A.

Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body.However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It's an opportunity to be social, release endorphins , and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor.Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you. It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision of a fitness instructor. If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, !you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track. Don't let fitness frighten you!If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive.
