The first day, I finished the ride with great 36 , though I tried hard to keep up with one guy for most the ways. To my 37 , I did a little better the second time.I decided to work harder to 38 . Yesterday, I 39 so much on my ride that I missed the short route (路线) I usually take; 40 , I stayed on the long route. I had never used this route, so I wasn’t really sure aboutwhich 41 I should take. Thankfully, a group of four riders 42 , and I just followed them.A few minutes later, one of the guys got a flat tire (爆了的轮胎), and, with the help of the others, he had it 43 in about a minute. We all waited there 44 he changed his tire. After we started riding again, I noticedsomething 45 . The guy at the front would ride 46 for a couple of minutes, then he would move over to the side, 47 his way to the end of the line, and the guy behind him would move into the lead position. The process (过程) would 48 every few minutes. This was a lot easier than riding alone, trying to 49 the first rider. This time I had a great time – and I think it is the 50 I’ve ever gone.This made me realize how important teamwork is, and the 51 of having a great team. The point is that you don’t have to be at your best 52 . You give it your all for a while, and then you let the guy 53 you do the same. The entire team improves because you don’t have to be the 54 all the time. You get your time to shine, and so does everyone else. You cannot get anywhere – or even make any worthwhile improvement – without a 55 .

Isn’t it obvious that kids these days are self-absorbed social network addicts?However, this summer, my impression of today’s kids has been re stored by the story of Rachel Beckwith. She could teach my generation a great deal about maturity (成熟) and unselfishness —even though she’s just 9 years old, or was when she died on July 23.At age 5, Rachel had her long hair cut off and sent to Locks of Love, which uses hair donations to make artificial hair for children who have lost their own hair because of cancer or other diseases. After that, Rachel announced that she would grow her hair long again and donate it again. And that’s what she did.Then when she was 8 years old, her church began raising money to build wells in Africa through an organization called “charity: water”. Rachel was astonished when she learned that other children had no clean water, so she skipped her ninth birthday party. Rachel set up a birthday page on the charity: water website with a target of $300. Instead of presents, she asked her friends to donate $9 each to charity: water. Finally Rachel raised only $220 — which had left her just a bit disappointed.Then, on July 20, a serious traffic accident left Rachel critically injured. Church members and friends, seeking some way of showing support, began donating on Rachel’s birthday page — /Rachel — and donations reached her $300 goal, and kept rising.When it was clear that Rachel would never regain consciousness, the family decided to remove the life-support machine. Her parents donated her hair for the final time to Locks of Love, and her organs to other children. Word spread about Rachel’s last fund-raiser (募捐行动). Contributions poured in, often they donated $9. The total donations soon topped $100,000, then $300,000.This is a story not just of one girl, but of a young generation of outstanding problem-solvers working creatively. 【1】Which of the following is TRUE of Rachel?A．She died at the age of 8.B．She was a cancer patient.C．She was a warm-hearted girl.D．She founded Locks of Love.【2】The underlined word “skipped” in Paragraph 4 probably means “”.A．put off B．gave up C．expected D．planned【3】According to the text, Rachel set up the birthday page to .A．make more new friendsB．call on people to donate hairC．ask her friends to send her giftsD．raise money to help African children【4】How does the author feel about the young generation now?A．Worried B．Critical.C．Appreciative.D．Doubtful【5】What would be the best title for the text?A．Rachel’s last fund-raiserB．Rachel and her birthday pageC．Kids are addicted to social networks.D．What’s wrong with the young generation?2.The other day, I received a most unexpected message in response to one of my essays: I am so proud of you and all you have accomplished. I shared your opinion …It was signed Margaret Leibfried, who was my English teacher — a teacher who appeared at a vital (关键) point in my life and helped me believe that I could become a writer.Thirty years ago, I entered high school as an introvert (性格内向的人) made all the more shy because I was the school’s only nonwhite student. I always felt in danger of being swept away by a sea of tall white athletes. I spent a lot of time alone, reading and writing stories, hoping to escape being teased.Ms. Leibfried taught American literature and composition grammar, which involved the usual memorizing vocabulary, but also, thrillingly, reading novels.Thrilling to me, that is. Many of my classmates expressed dislike for novels because they were “not real.” For once, I didn’t care what they thought. Ms. Leibfried seemed to notice my interest in both reading and writing, and she took the time to make me feel less shy; she even offered me reading suggestions, like one of her favorite novels, “The Bell Jar.”That year’s big project was a book report, to be read aloud to the class. However, Ms. Leibfried suggested I do something “a little different.” Instead of a report, I chose a passage from “The Bell Jar” that I considered as the best to recite.The morning of the presentations, I remember my hands sweating so badly as I walked to the front of the class that I kept my hands crossed, so I wouldn’t wipe them on my blouse.When I finished, to my surprise, the class applauded. “Marie has picked out a particularly sensitive piece of writing and delivered it beautifully,” Ms. Leibfried said, smiling. I felt, maybe for the first time, confident.【1】What was the author’s high school life like before she met Ms. Leibfried?A．Lonely.B．Exciting.C．Wild.D．Busy【2】In Paragraph 5, the author mainly tells us .A．how she cared what her classmates thoughtB．when she became interested in “The Bell Jar”C．why many of her classmates disliked novelsD．how Ms. Leibfried helped and encouraged her【3】Why did Ms. Leibfried ask the author to recite a passage in front of the class?A．To test whether she had a good memory.B．To make her earn the respect of her classmates.C．To help deepen her understanding of “The Bell Jar.”D．To guide her to build a good relationship with others.【4】How did the author feel when she made the presentation?A．Comfortable.B．sad.C．Nervous.D．Confident.【5】What was the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To express her thanks to her teacher.B．To discuss the issue of racial prejudice (偏见).C．To introduce one of her favorite books.D．To suggest the ways to gain confidence.3.A new reading tool was put on the market this week for the two-to five-year-old set. It is sold for at least $389, an expensive purchase for a kid –and that doesn’t even include a $99 annual subscription (订阅) fee for games, e-books, and age-appropriate software.That might be fine for parents willing and able to pay thousands for private nursery schools, but will the tool actually help kids learn language and reading skills more effectively than traditional books?Probably not, said Dr. Michael Rich, direc tor of the Center for Media and Child Health at Children’s Hospital Boston. “There is a sensory components (感官因素) to books that isn’t there with e-books,” he explained. “You can smell it, turn the pages, and taste it, as young kids are likely to do.”That might help little ones become more familiar with the books, helping them learn from them, but far more important is whether a person is actually sitting with them while they’re looking at the pages.Researchers have shown time and again that kids learn bet ter when they’re having interaction (互动) with real people, rather than electronic voices reading to them from a computer or speaking to them from the TV.A Georgetown University study found that kids who learned to put on gloves from watching a video took six times as long to learn the process as those who watched it shown by an adult standing in front of them.“I’m a big believer in teaching kids to live in the digital society and use what the rest of the family uses, but they do need to be supervised,” said Dr. Gwenn O’Keeffe, a Boston-based children’s doctor and spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics. “We don’t recommend that young kids use any type of technology for very long since they have the attention span (注意力持续时间) of a butterfly.”【1】According to the text, the new tool .A．is mainly used to entertain kidsB．can be accepted by most familiesC．is designed for preschool kidsD．can download games for free【2】Why is Dr. Michael Rich against the new tool?A．Because it doesn’t really involve many of the senses.B．Because it does great harm to kids’ eyesight.C．Because kids can’t communicate with it.D．Because traditional books are cheaper.【3】The study mentioned in Paragraph 6 aims to .A．show the disadvantage of kids’ watching videosB．prove the importance of interaction with peopleC．ask parents to teach their kids to learnD．prove using e-books saves much time【4】The underlined word “supervised” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “”.A．punished B．watched C．encouraged D．understood【5】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To introduce a new electronic device.B．To teach kids how to live in a digital world.C．To show parents how to help kids gain knowledge.D．To throw new light on kids’ use of electronic tools.4.Tony Burke, Australia’s environment minister, says he won’t decide until next year whether the koala should be protected as an endangered species. He was expected to make his decision by the end of October. But that decision has been put off. Burke said he needed more time to go over the latest information about the koala’s population.In September, an Australian Senate committee reported that ther e was no question the koala’s population is on the decrease. “But they may not yet be eligible (符合条件) for listing as a threatened species,” said Senator Doug Cameron. “To have such a significant Australian icon(偶像) included on the threatened species list would be a national shame.”The koala is found only in the eucalyptus (桉树) forests of Australia. And its population is reported to have fallen sharply for many reasons, including the cutting down of forests to make way for human beings’ development, their own illness, climate change and killings by other animals such as wild dogs. And every year many koalas are hit by cars as they are trying to cross the busy roads.Putting off the decision on protection for the koala “is really bad news,” said Debbie Pointi ng, the president of the Koala Action Group. “We’ve worked tirelessly for many years to gather data on the populations,” Pointing said. “That data should be enough to make a decision.”However, Burke pointed out that the Australian government had spent at least $6.3 million on koala conservation efforts since 1996. senators listed efforts that are already underway in Queensland – the construction of special koala bridges as well as fences along roads, to keep the animals out of harm’s way.Some people say t hat is not enough. “What we’re doing at the moment is likely to drive this species to extinction,” Queensland University zoologist Bill Ellis said.“Koalas are an iconic Australian animal,” Burke told Australians. “They hold a special place in the hearts o f Australians.”But it is a fact that if more isn’t done to protect the koala, they might soon hold a place only in Australians’ memories.【1】Tony Burke put off announcing the koala as an endangered species because .A．he needed more time to examine latest informationB．he doubted whether koalas’ number is decreasingC．he was thinking about ways to protect koalasD．he had more important issues to deal with【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The habitat of the koala.B．Australia’s traffic problems.C．The importance of koalas for Australians.D．Reasons for the decrease of the koala population.【3】According to the text, Debbie Pointing thinks that .A．the construction of special koala bridges is of little useB．the government should announce the koala as an endangered speciesC．the government is to blame for the decreasing koala populationD．koala are becoming less important in Australians’ hearts【4】It can be learned from the text that Tony Burke .A．decided to construct more fences along roadsB．called on Australians to take care of the koalaC．thought the government has done much for koalasD．was optimistic about the koalas’ future【5】What is the main idea of the text?A．Australia puts off the decision on whether the koala is endangered.B．Australia is taking special measures to protect koalas.C．The population of koalas is reducing rapidly.D．Australians are concerned about koalas.5.[1]Why is physical education important for students? There are many reasons. First of all, this subject helps them achieve the primary goal of physical education, which is physical fitness. As part of this, they can learn that it is highly important to include exercise and physical activities as part of their lifestyle.[2]Physical education helps children achieve a healthy lifestyle. Inside the classroom, teachers educate kids about highly relevant issues such as the importance of hygiene (卫生) and health. This subject will help them realize the importance of having strong bodies. Likewise, it will also teach them how to have a healthy and an active lifestyle.[3]Taking PE classes can help of students. Being confident is very important to them as they grow and become responsible as well as competitive adults someday. This aspect (方面) of physical education is extremely important in the character development of students. Furthermore, it will teach them how to have a positive attitude.[4]Physical education can teach students a set of all-important values. For example, it teaches students to fight like sportsmen and to cooperate with others to achieve one common goal as a team.[5]Physical education also helps students develop their motor skills. On this kind of program, they are placed in situations where they can further develop and improve their reflexes (反应), concentration and body posture. By taking this class, they can realize their full potential as individuals and as part of a team.[6]Moreover, physical education is also a means of enjoyment for students. By engaging in sports and physical activities, they can spend some pleasant time away from their other usual academic subjects. By doing so, they can achieve healthy minds and bodies.【1】What’s the text mainly about? (no more than 6 words)【2】What does the underlined word “it” (Line 3 paragraph 2) probably refer to? (no more than 3 words)【3】Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words. (no more than 4 words)【4】Based on the text, list two values that students can learn in PE classes.

I could tell that my parents had been talking about something in that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, "How would you like to go to Eton?""You bet." I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict with his fear of drawing attention to himself.It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness."Oh, he doesn't want to go away," said my mother, "You shouldn't go on like this.” “It's up to him," said my father. "He can make up his own mind."【1】The writer's father sold his Roils-Royce because________.A．it was bought at a low price B．it frequently broke downC．it was a second-hand car D．it made him feel uneasy【2】The writer's father would enjoy being different unless _________.A．there was no danger of showing off B．it drew much attention to himC．it was understood as a joke D．it didn't bring him in arguments【3】The writer felt _______ about the idea of going to Eton.A．unhappy B．unbelievableC．delighted.D．complicated【4】Based on the passage we know that__________.A．It is not easy for children to get admitted by EtonB．Children can go to Eton if they would like toC．Children who can go to Eton are very famousD．Children can’t decide whether they will go to Eton3.If you and I met at a party, you would probably ask me what I do for a living, what town I live in — the kind of questions that would help you to build a picture of who I am. I might ask the same of you, but I probably wouldn't be listening. It's more likely I'd be looking at the label on your jeans, glancing at your shoes, and eyeing up your mobile phone. These are the things that really tell me who you are. In fact, I sincerely hope you would notice the same things about me. Well, that's the way it was a year ago.I began to behave like this at a very early age. I remember the first day of junior school, standing alone in the playground, desperately wanting to make friends. I headed straight for what seemed to be the most promising group of boys. They were talking to girls, trading football cards, eating green sweets — all the things I wanted to do. As I attempted to talk with them, one boy asked me, “Do you support Manchester United Football Club?” Another asked, “Are you into Michael Jackson?” I answered yes to them all, even though the truthful answer was no.Things seemed to be going well until one of the boys caught sight of my trainers. I'd never thought too much about them before. They were just plain blue sports shoes that Mum had bought, for playing in the back garden. At once, the group laughed very loudly, “Where did you get those from? A charitable organization?”Looking at the boys in bewilderment (疑惑), I noticed for the first time that they all had similar shapes on the sides of their trainers, like the ones on footballers' boots on television. It wasn't just their shoes: crocodiles, eagles and tigers sat on the breasts of their T-shirts, and every single boy seemed to have the same school bag, a blue plastic bag with a leaping puma in silver on the side. I walked away quietly, depressed. From that day on, I was determined to be like them, if not more so.【1】What was the author like one year ago?A．He was very interested in figure paintings.B．He used to judge others by their appearances.C．He was crazy about holding different parties.D．He had some difficulty communicating with others.【2】How did the author react when asked about his favorite football team?A．He replied proudly.B．He kept silent.C．He told a lie.D．He refused to answer.【3】Why did the group suddenly burst out laughing?A．Because they looked down upon the author.B．Because they were attracted by the author.C．Because they welcomed the author warmly.D．Because they played a joke on the author.【4】After the first day of junior school, the author began to _____.A．be addicted to television B．concern himself with animalsC．follow famous football players D．spend more money on branded goods4.Single-sex schools are better than mixed schoolsMessage 1 — posted by Jane, AmsterdamI think mixed-sex schools are the only way for children to learn, because it's natural. In higher education and their working life, they will be mixed so it makes sense for them to be mixed at school. School should reflect the real world.Message 2 — posted by Hans, GermanyMy reaction to this is very clear. For me, single-sex schools are much better, and the statistics show that they get better exam results, particularly at secondary level. Anything which helps children pass exams must be a good thing.Message 3 — posted by Bill, USABoys and girls learn in very different ways. I feel that they should be educated separately so teachers can focus on their different needs. The way I see it is that if you have a zoo, you don't put the lions in with the zebras! Message 4 — posted by Martin, LondonMy view on this is that it doesn't really matter. What is important is the curriculum (课程), and keeping students interested. I was a teacher and we had a lot of truancy (逃学) to deal with, and problems with students missing lessons because they found them boring. Never have a timetable with Maths as the first class on Monday morning!Message 5 — posted by Emily, SydneyI don't think there is any question that mixed schools are better. There is too much competition at single-sex schools, which often means that students don't make enough progress. I also think there is more bullying (欺凌) at single-sex schools, where children are picked on because of the increased competition. Single-sex schools lead to a “dog eat dog” situation.【1】What is Jane's attitude towards single-sex schools?A．Favorable.B．Negative.C．Objective.D．Unconcerned.【2】Both Hans and Bill hold that _____.A．teachers should meet students' different needsB．boys and girls should be taught separatelyC．schools should focus on students' exam resultsD．mixed schools are better than single-sex schools【3】Martin stresses the importance of _____.A．exciting students' interest in courses B．students' time awarenessC．training students to obey rules D．school management【4】Emily uses “dog eat dog” to show _____.A．her support for single-sex schoolsB．students' determined effort to succeedC．the fierce competition in single-sex schoolsD．the better education results in single-sex schools二、其他根据短文内容，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。

raise adult maths skills.A survey of 300 adults for the numeracy campaign found that over a third thought their level of maths had held them back.An accompanying economic analysis said that a lack of maths skills cost the UK 20 billion pounds per year.The plan to bring 60 English-speaking maths teachers from Shanghai is an attempt to learn from a city that hasbeen the top performance in the OECD's Pisa tests.The OECD says that children of poor families in Shanghai are on average better at maths than middle class children in the UK.The Shanghai teachers, expected to arrive from the autumn, will help share their teaching methods, support pupils who are struggling and help to train other teachers.“We have some smart maths teachers in this country but what I saw in Shanghai-and other Chinese cities-has only strengthened my belief that we can learn from them.” said education minister, Elizabeth Truss, who has recently visited Shanghai, accompanied by head teachers from England, “They have a can-do attitude to maths-and I want us to match that, and their performance,” She stressed the economic significance of raising maths standards, for individuals and the country.'As part of our long term economic plan, we are determined to drive up standards in our schools and give our young people the skills they need to succeed in the global race.Good maths qualifications have the greatest earning potential and provide the strongest protection against unemployment,” said the education minister.【1】Poor maths skills have caused serious _____ consequences in England.A．academic B．economicC．cultural D．political【2】What is the main factor behind Shanghai teachers’success in maths teaching?A．Their students are from poor familiesB．Their students have a talent for mathsC．They have

the passage?A．Good Maths Skills Are about Hard WorkB．Why Are English Maths Standards Left Behind?C．Why Are Shanghai Maths Teachers Getting Popular?D．Chinese Teachers Bring the Art of Maths to English

Massachusetts, including Cape Cod, Forecasters say the wind could reach 60 mph, possibly bringing down power lines.In Worcester, some were busy for severer by buying rock salt,shovels and windshield wash,Barrows Hardware president Brain Barrow said.He called the volume（总量）of customers at his Webster Street store very steady on Wednesday morning, “You do get that supermarket effect for sure,”he said of shoppers stocking supplies before a storm.There were no fl ight delays or cancellations at Logan International Airport in Boston as of day,” Right now, everything’s running normally.” airport

fresh hot pizza delivered to your door? How about having it brought to you by a robot? Thanks to Domino's Robotic Unit or DRU, that just became a reality! On March 8, the three-foot tall robot delivered its first pizza to some lucky residents in Brisbane, Australia.The fully autonomous DRU is the result of a cooperation between Domino’s Pizza Australia and Marath on Robotics.The 450-pound machine that travels at a maximum speed of 12.4 miles an hour can traverse a distance of up to 12 miles and back, before requiring a battery recharge. LIDAR, a laser-based sensor technology similar to the one used in self-driving cars, enables DRU to detect and avoid obstacles, while traditional sensors, much like those used in vacuum robots ensure its path is safe as it heads to its destination.The robot can fit up to ten pizzas and even has a separate cold area to accommodate drink orders.To access their fond, customers have to enter the unique code provided by the company.This is not only ensures that they pick up the right pizza, but also prevents the pies from getting stolen.Scientists expert additional DRU’s to be ready f or service in their various Queensland locations within the next six months.But don’t expect these super cute robots to replace humans anytime soon.According to Domino’s the DRU still needs extensive testing, which the company believes could take up to two years.And then there is also the issue of regulations.The public use of autonomous vehicles is still banned in most countries.But Don Meij, the CEO and Managing Director of Domino's Pizza Australia New Zealand Ltd, is not worried.He is “confident that on e day DRU will become an integral part of the Domino's family.”【1】What's the function of LIDAR?A．keeping DRU free of obstaclesB．Recharging DRU’s batteryC．Helping DRU find its destinationD．Protecting DRU from bad weather【2】What does the underlined word “accommodate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Heat B．HoldC．Sell D．Show.【3】Why does the company provide codes for its customers?A．To fit up more pizzasB．To prevent the pizza being taken by mistakeC．To keep the pizza warmD．To get the pizza paid in time【4】What can we infer about the future of DRU?A．It may need some improvements B．It will replace humans soon.C．It may be banned in Australia D．It will soon be applied worldwide二、其他根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The over-55s use their brains more efficiently (高效率地) than younger people, as they are much more likely to get rid of mistakes. Younger people, ________, give the impression of being sharper, simply by coming up with answers more quickly. But this may be a sign of inexperience rather than wisdom.[2] According to their experiment on sorting words into pairs, scientists found surprising differences between the brains of the older and younger participants when they made a mistake. To the younger ones, the mistake immediately activated(激活) several different parts of the brain to help them decide what to do next. The older people, however, didn’t start thinking about what they were going to do until the game restarted.[3] Dr Oury Monchi said, “When the young participants made a mistake and had to plan and take a new measure to get the right answer, various parts of their brains were used even before the next task began. However, when the older participants learned that they had a mistake, they decided to make adjustments(调整) only when completely necessary. The older brain had experience and knew that nothing was gained by taking action too soon.”[4] Dr Monchi compared the results to Aesop’s fable of the tortoise and the hare, saying, “Being able to run fast does not always win the race --you have to know how to best use your abilities.” This saying is a defining characteristic of ageing. It is as though the older brain is more unaffected to criticism and more confident than the young brain. Overall, the older group, who were aged between 55 and 75, took longer to complete the game but did roughly as well as those aged 18 to 35.【1】What’s the main idea of the passage? (no more than 8 words)_____________________________________________________【2】Fill in the blank in Paragraph I with proper words.

Small talk means the little things we talk aboutat the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Terrible weather, isn’t it?” But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion(宗教) or politics(政治) so these are not suitable topics for small talk. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching. “Great game, isn’t it?” At bus-stops, people may comment on the transport system. “The bus service is terrible, isn’t it?”【1】Small talk is ________.A．a kind of conversation with short wordsB．a greeting used when people meet each otherC．to let people disagree about somethingD．something we talk about to start a conversation【2】The favorite topic of small talk for English people is _________.A．the weather B．politicsC．games D．languages【3】The passage suggests that when we learn a language _________.A．we should learn about the transport system of the countryB．we should only master the grammar and the vocabularyC．we should learn the culture of the countryD．we should understand the importance of the language【4】When we say “Great game, isn’t it?”, we are in fact __________.A．asking a question B．having a conversationC．make a comment D．making small talk【5】What we learn from the passage is that _________.A．different languages have different grammarB．small talk is an important part of a languageC．small talk depends on the purpose of the conversationD．in English-speaking countries we should talk about the weather2.Florence Nightingale（南丁格尔） was born in a rich family. When she was young she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father.As a child she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them.At last mind was made up. “I’m going to be a nurse,” she decided.“Nursing isn’t the right work for a lady,” her father told her.“Then I will make it so ”, she smiled. And she went to learn nur sing in Germany and France.When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home . During the Crimean War in 1854 she went with a group of thirty eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen — and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurse went to work.Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicine and food for the men. Her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman. After she returned to England, she was honored for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries.Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honor nurses today.【1】When she was a child, Florence ________.A．loved to travel very muchB．knew what her duty in life wasC．loved to help the sick peopleD．want to learn music and drawing in the future【2】What made Florence make up her mind to become a nurse？A．Her father’s support.B．Her desire to help the sick.C．Her education in Germany and France.D．Her knowledge from reading great books.【3】During the Crimean War in 1854, Florence served in the front hospital where ____.A．she earned a little moneyB．work was very difficultC．few soldiers died because of her workD．she didn’t have enough food or clothes【4】 Why was Florence honored by Queen Victoria？A．She built the Nightingale Home for Nurses.B．She wrote a book on public health.C．She worked as a nurse all her life.D．She did a great deal of work during the Crimean War.【5】The passage can best be described as ____.A．the life story of a famous womanB．a description of the nursing workC．an example of successful educationD．the history of nursing in England3.I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows（誓约）mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion（提升）, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure（空闲）, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.【1】The best title of this passage probably is _______.A．Love your friends B．Live a real lifeC．Don’t waste time D．Be a good mother and wife【2】How did the author form her view of life?A．By working and social experience.B．Learning from her friends.C．Through an unfortunate experience.D．Because of her children and husband.【3】The underlined sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live” in the fifth paragraph probably has the same meaning as ______.A．it is so easy to keep alive but not to live a real life.B．it is very hard to live a real lifeC．it is so easy to make a living.D．it is more difficult to exist than to live a happy life.【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards work?A．Try our best to serve others.B．To earn enough money to make life better.C．Try our best to get higher position and pay.D．Don’t let it affect your real life.【5】It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A．the author is a success in personal life.B．the author didn’t try her best to work well.C．the author spent all her time caring for her children.D．the author doesn’t travel much4.In recent years, there has been a steady attack on salt from the doctors: salt is bad for you—regardless of your health. Politicians also got aboard. “There is a direct relationship,” US Congressman Neal Smith said, “between the amount of sodium(钠) a person consumes and heart disease, circulatory(循环的) disorders, stroke and even early death.”Frightening, if true! But many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone too far. “All these remarks and cry about salt is unnecessary,” Dr. Dustan insists. “For most of us it probably does not make much difference how much salt we eat.” Dustan’s most recent short-term study of 150 people showed that those with normal blood pressure experienced no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt was reintroduced. Of the hypertensive(高血压的) patients, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did experience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to previous level when salt was reintroduced. “An adequate to somewhat excessive(过度的) salt intake has probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general populati on,” said Dr. John H Laragh. “So an opinion that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense.”Medical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable “moderation”(节制) in salt consumption. For the average person, a moderate amount might run from four to ten grams a day, or roughly 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoons. One to two grams of salt would come from the natural sodium in food. The rest would be added in processing, preparation or at the table.“Na is not your enemy,” says Comek’s Dr. Laragh. “Salt is the No.1 natural component of all human tissue, and the idea that you do not need it is wrong. Unless your doctor has proven that you have a salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up.”【1】Why is salt attacked by doctors and politicians?A．It’s unnecessary.B．It does no good to human health.C．It is hated by most people.D．It will always lead to heart disease and circulatory disorders.【2】From Dr. Dustan’s study in Paragraph 2 we can infer that _____.A．a low-salt diet may be good to some patientsB．the amount of salt intake has nothing to do with one’s blood pressureC．the reduction of salt intake can completely cure a hypertensive patientD．an extremely low-salt diet makes no difference to anyone【3】In the 3rd paragraph, Dr. Laragh implied that _____.A．people should not be afraid of taking much excessive saltB．doctors should not advise people to avoid saltC．an adequate to somewhat excessive salt intake is suggested to ill peopleD．excessive salt intake has killed some patients in the general population【4】What is the experts’ advice for average people on salt consumption?A．They should increase salt intake through sodium pills.B．They should avoid salt as often as possible.C．They should consume 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoons of salt a day.D．They needn’t care about how much salt they consume.【5】What is the main idea of the passage?A．The salt scare is not reasonable.B．The cause of hypertension is disclosed.C．The moderate use of salt is recommended.D．Salt consumption is to be avoided.四、书面表达书面表达（满分25分）进入高中以后，同学们的学习任务加重，对于参加课外活动，同学们有着两种不同的看法。

But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C..We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use inancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella most disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.【1】Ancient people first used umbrellas as ______.A．a symbol of honor B．a symbol of powerC．protection against the sun D．protection against the rain【2】According to the passage, the umbrella was probably first used in accident__________.A．Babylon B．ChinaC．Egypt D．Rome【3】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A．The ancient Greeks used the umbrella in their daily lifeB．Europeans hardly used the umbrella during the middle agesC．The umbrellas for woman were made colorful in ancient timesD．The style of the umbrella hasn’t changed a lot since it was invented【4】What is the passage mainly about?A．The sales of the umbrella B．The history and the use of the umbrellaC．The invention of the umbrella D．The differences among umbrellas3.A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But nowa study has found it really does help people nod off---if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cow’s milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.【1】According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk _________.A．started sleep more easilyB．were more anxiousC．were less activeD．woke up later【2】Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A．It’s been tested on mice for ten times.B．It can make people more energetic.C．It exists in milk in great amount.D．It’s used in sleeping drugs.【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Night Milk and SleepB．Fat, Sugar and HealthC．An Experiment on MiceD．Milk Drinking and Health【4】How does the author support the theme of the text?A．By giving examples.B．By stating arguments.C．By explaining statistical data.D．By providing research results.4.The latest study by the University of Florida has found that eating from smaller, less beautiful, and even paper plates will help prevent overeating. Eating with a fork instead of a spoon can help you lose weight, the researchers say. Much to their surprise, they find that putting mirrors in the dining room will also help reduce weight.The researchers asked 185 college students to choose a chocolate cake or a fruit salad, and evaluated the taste. Those who ate in a room with a mirror scored the taste of junk food much lower than those in a room without a mirror. But the taste of fruit salad remained the same in any case.Lead scientist, Dr. Ata Jami, says that a glance in the mirror tells people more than just about their physical appearance. It enables them to view themselves objectively (客观地) and helps them to judge themselves and their behavior in the same way that they judge other people.The mirrors were found to push people to compare and match their own behavior with accepted social standards. The researchers believe it proves that people don’t want to look in the mirror when they feel they are followingthe social standards. When they look in the mirror with mouths full of junk food, feelings of discomfort and failure can be increased. Therefore, the presence of the mirror lowers the taste of unhealthy food.However, researchers say this is only the case if people select the food they are eating, because they are responsible for that choice. The researchers suggest that mirrors be placed in dining rooms and other eating spaces, so that people will start eating more healthily.【1】Researchers are amazed to find that ______.A．paper plates make food look nicerB．people using a fork will eat moreC．mirrors can help people lose weightD．people will eat more in front of a mirror【2】What can be inferred from the study?A．Some teenagers got involved in it.B．People were required to eat with a spoon.C．People preferred a chocolate cake to a fruit salad.D．The mirror may not affect the taste of healthy food.【3】According to Dr. Ata Jami, the mirror ______.A．makes people judge others correctlyB．makes people well judge themselvesC．is a necessary part of people’s daily lifeD．can only show the appearance of a person【4】How does the mirror affect the taste of junk food?A．By making people hungry.B．By showing the social standards.C．By attracting people to healthy food.D．By causing a feeling of discomfort.二、其他Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever.

江西高二高中英语月考试卷带答案解析
江西高二高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible．Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel．It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether. Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too．It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving．On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting．A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition．But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough．Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous．Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time．The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to．It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies (奶奶).An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings．Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive．Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand moregive-and-takefrom all road users．It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.【1】According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by .A．road conditions B．the speed of modern lifeC．the large number of cars D．the behavior of the drivers【2】In the writer’s opinion, .A．drivers should show road politeness properly.B．strict traffic rules are badly neededC．unskillful drivers should be punishedD．drivers should avoid traffic jams【3】The underlined word “give-and-take” in the passage means .A．politeness and impolitenessB．willingness to give in to each ot her’s wishesC．offering help to others as much as possibleD．good manners and bad manners【4】What is the best title of the passage?A. Road PolitenessB. Traffic ProblemsC Bad Manners on the RoadC. Good Drivers and Bad Driver二、其他根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

We’ve really had enough of you. Although we have tried to speak to you politely on several occasions, you have always answered with a stream of verbal abuse(辱骂).Ever since you moved in three months ago, you have shown very little consideration for the other residents of this building, though many residents expressed their unhappiness with you. For the past six weekends, you have held very noisy parties, which have not finished until early the next morning. As you know, most of the people here are elderly or have very young children, and the noise keeps them awake all night. You don’t have to be so noisy, do you? Last weekend the situation deteriorated when two of your friends fought with each other on the first floor. The fighting was so bad that the police had to be called. What’s more, your friends left the stairs in a terrible state --- they even broke two windows on their way out! We feel that we can’t bear this type of act.We strongly demand that yo u pay for this damage to the window soon. If you don’t and you carry on being a nuisance(令人讨厌的人或物). We will kick you out!

That’s what all doctors thought, until they heard about Herpin. Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw him sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure. Herpin died at the age of 94.【1】The main idea of this passage is that_____.A．large numbers of people do not need sleepB．a person was found who actually didn’t need any sleepC．everyone needs some sleep to stay aliveD．people can live longer by trying not to sleep【2】The doctors came to visit Herpin, expecting_____.A．to cure him of his sleeplessnessB．to find that his sleeplessness was not really trueC．to find out why some old people did not need any sleepD．to find a way to free people from the need of sleeping【3】After watching him closely, the doctors came to believe that Herpin_____.A．needed some kind of sleepB．was too old to need any sleepC．needed no sleep at allD．often sleep in a chair【4】One reason that might explain Herpin’s sleeplessness was _____.A．his mother’s injury before he was bornB．that he had gradually got rid of the sleeping habitC．his magnificent physical conditionD．that he hadn’t got a bed【5】Herpin’s condition could be regarded as ______.A．a common one B．one that could becuredC．very healthy D．a rare one3.The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around, when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a warm smile. She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose.I'm eighty-seven years old.”"Why are you in college at such a young age?" I asked. She replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids and then retire(退休) and travel..."I knew she was joking. I was curious what might have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age."I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.We became friends. Every day we would talk nonstop after class. I was always interested in listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. And Rose easily made friends wherever she went. At the end of the term we invited Rose to make a little speech. She cleared her throat and began, "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. I’ve learned a few secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.”“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change.“Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do……"【1】When the writer and Rose first met, they began their talk in a_______ way.A．serious B．polite C．formal D．humorous【2】Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined word “motivated” in the fourth paragraph?

A medical research paper says cancer was once thought of as a problem mostly in the developed world. But now cancer is a leading cause of death and disability in poor countries as well. Experts from Harvard University and other organizations urge the international community to fight cancer actively, saying it should be fought in the wayHIV/AIDS has been fought in Africa.Cancer kills more than 7.5 million people a year worldwide. Almost two-thirds are in low-income and middle-income countries.They discover cancer kills more people in developing countries than AIDS, tuberculosis (肺结核) and malaria (疟疾) combined. But the world spends only 5% of its cancer resources in those countries.Felicia Knaul from Harvard Medical School was one of the writers of the paper. She was in Mexico when she was found to have breast cancer. She received treatment there and her experience showed her the sharp difference between the rich and the poor in treating breast cancer.Felicia Knaul says, “And we are seeing how this is attacking young women. It’s the number two cause of death in Mexico for women thirty to fifty-four. All over the developing world, it’s the number one cancer-related death among young women. I think we have to again say that there is much more we could do about it than we are doing about it.”Professor Knalul met community health workers during her work in developing countries. They were an important part of efforts to reduce deaths from the cancer. They were able to persuade people to get tested to prevent the illness. The experts say cancer care does not have to be costly. For example, patients can be treated with lower-cost drugs.【1】What would be the best title for the passage?A．Cancer – a leading cause of death in poor countriesB．What should we do in preventing and treating cancer?C．What makes the first killer in developing countries?D．Experts urge more efforts to fight cancer.【2】Felicia Knaul’s ex perience in Mexico shows that .A．many Mexican women suffer from breast cancerB．there is not enough medicine for cancer thereC．many Mexican women can’t afford medical careD．patients with breast cancer are treated differently【3】From what Felicia Knaul says, we can draw the conclusion that .A．breast cancer is a great threat to young womenB．people don’t pay enough attention to breast cancerC．breast cancer is the second killer among women in MexicoD．patients can be treated effectively in developing countries【4】Who plays an important part in preventing the cancer in developing countries?A．The cancer patients.B．The health experts.C．Community health workers.D．Young women.【5】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The number of cancer cases is decreasing.B．HIV/AIDS is not being taken seriously in Africa.C．Over 7.5 million people die of cancer every year.D．It is very expensive to treat cancer.四、其他[1] The key word is practice! Practice, practice, practice!! There is no other way. There is no magic. The way to get better at listening to English is to listen to English. That’s the not-so-good news.[2] The good news is there are many ways to listen and many things to listen to.[3] Listening to English songs can be fun. But be careful! Most ________ use the language in a special way that you don’t hear every day. You don’t want to start speaking English like a poet or songwriter. If you do listen to English songs, listen to different ones. This will help you train your ears to different voices, pronunciations and rhythms.[4] If you can, get a copy of the lyrics(歌词) so you can read them and listen to them at the same time. It is sometimes better to listen with your eyes as well as your ears—more information to help the brain.[5] Watch English DVDs. But, this time, do not use your eyes to read the subtitles (字幕). Turn off the subtitles, because movies have so many other clues about what is happening that it is better not to use the subtitles. Thisforces your ears to do the work.[6] Choose one character (人物) that interests you and pay attention to what they say and how they say it. If you can, repeat a line out loud after they have said it. Teach yourself one or more sayings, phrases or ways of talking that you will use after watching the movie.[7] A new and growing resource of English language for listening can be found in blogs. Blogs are in MP3 format and can be loaded first onto your computer and then onto your MP3 player for very convenient take-with-you listening.[8] You can find many English listening practices are fun, new, educational and in unending supply.【1】What is the main idea of the passage?

Do you know anything about the history of weather? Don’t look at the sky. Don’t look for old weather reports. Looking at the tree rings is more important. Correct weather reports date back only one century, but some trees can provide an exact record of weather even further back.It is natural that a tree would grow best in a climate with plenty of sunlight and rainfall. It is also expected thatlittle sunlight or rainfall would reduce the growth of a tree. The change from a favorable to an unfavorable climate can be found out by the reading pattern of rings in a tree trunk. To find out the weather of ten years ago, you can count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the other rings, then it is certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather occurred. If the rings are close together, then the climate was bad for the tree.Studying trees is important not only for the history of weather, but also for the history of man. In an area of New Mexico you can find only sand — no trees or people. However, many centuries ago a large population lived there. They left suddenly. Why?A scientist studied the pattern of the rings of dead trees that had grown there. He made up his mind that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees. Trees were necessary to make fires and buildings. So, after the people destroyed the trees, they had to move.In this example studying tree rings uncovered an exciting fact about the history of man.【1】We can find out the weather of five years ago by counting the rings of a tree trunk ____.A．from the left to the rightB．from the right to the leftC．from the inside to the outsideD．from the outside to the inside【2】If the ring was far from the others, we can conclude that the weather of that year was ______.A．bad B．sunny C．favorable D．rainy【3】By studying the rings of dead trees in an area of New Mexico, the scientist found _______.A．why the people had to leaveB．where the people had to goC．what the people had to eatD．how the people left【4】The ancient people usually lived where there were plenty of trees mainly because ______.A．trees provided an exact record of weather for researchB．trees could supply them with fruit and food to live onC．trees could supply them with shadesD．trees were materials for fires and buildings【5】By giving the example of an area of New Mexico, the author tries to prove .A．trees can’t live in the area without populationB．that studying trees is important for the history of man and weather.C．what the real relation is between tree rings and the history of man and weatherD．the history of man is important for the history of trees三、阅读理解1.Do you read newspapers in modern times while we have TV and other media? The first newspaper was written by hand and put up on walls in public places. The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. In the 700s the world’s first printed newspaper was published. Europe didn’t have a regularly published newspaper until 1609, when one was started in Germany.The first regularly published newspaper in English was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was Daily Current, which came out in March 1702.In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started Boston Newspaper, the first newspaper published daily in the American Colonies. By 1760, the colonies had had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1,800 daily papers in the United States.Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation in the world. But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun. It sells more than eleven million copies every year.【1】The first regularly printed European newspaper was started ______.A．in Rome in 59 BC B．in Germany in 1609C．in Amsterdam in 1620 D．in England in 1621【2】The first daily English newspaper was started in _______.A．1702B．1760C．1620D．1621【3】What can we learn from the passage_______?A. The earliest daily printed newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC.B. The first regularly published English newspaper was printed in Boston.C. The first daily English newspaper was printed in the American Colonies.D. The first American newspaper was stopped before 1704.【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage_______?A. Newspapers have the longest history in the United States.B. One English language newspaper has the largest circulation in the world.C. The first English newspaper was printed in Rome in 59 BC.D. There are all kinds of newspapers all over the world today.【5】What is the best title of the passage_______?A．History of newspapers.B．History of daily newspapers.C．The beginning of daily newspapers.D．The beginning of newspapers.2.Can you imagine learning by playing games. To be sure, only children experienced some things differently from those with sisters and brothers. Many feel more pressure to succeed. They also tend to look only to their parents as role models in the absence of brothers and sisters.In India, 10-year-old Saviraj Sankpal founded a support group for the tiny minority of only children. Among other things, the group does volunteer work to counter (or be against) the myth that they are not responsible. "People think we're treated too kindly and ruined," says Sankpal, a computer engineering student. "But I'd like to remind them how lonely it can get."Most only children, however, say they wish for sisters or brothers only when it comes to caring for aging, unhealthy parents. Britain's David Emerson, coauthor of the book The Only Child, says that such a person bears terrible burden in having to make all the decisions alone. Emerson knows from experience: After his father died, he chose to move his elderly mother from their family home, where she was vulnerable to (or easy to be attacked by) house breakers, to a new one with more security." The move was quite hard on her, and she might feel that I pushed her into it," he says,". After all, I am left with that responsibility."In the future, more and more only children will likely face similar choices. With working mothers increasing, many families are finding they simply don't have the time, money or energy to have more than one child. As only children become common, perhaps the world will realize that the Charge made against them is unjust.【1】It can be inferred from the passage that the author's attitude towards only children is _______.A．ironic B．objective C．unfriendly D．unjust【2】It can be inferred from the passage that only children's parents should ___________.A．found a support group for their only childrenB．do volunteer work to help their only childrenC．let their only children make all the decisions aloneD．set good examples for their only children【3】Emerson decided to move his elderly mother to a new house because he ___________.A．is the only one who cares about herB．doesn't want to leave her aloneC．wants to share the responsibility with herD．is worried about her safety【4】It is quite usual now for a working mother to ____________.A．spend all her time and money on her only childB．be responsible for bringing up her only childC．have and bring up only one childD．devote all her energy to her job【5】The main idea of the passage is that ________.A．only children are ruined and irresponsibleB．only children have to face many challengesC．most only children want to have brothers and sistersD．most only children share their responsibility with their parents3.No doubt that you know about Charities. Here it is another chance for you to know more. Difficult times often bring out the best in people. And this was the case for basketball star Yao Ming, who hosted a television show in Shanghai that raised US$300,000 to help researchers find a cure for SARS. Fundraising, or charity, is an act of goodwill towards others. Charities in the West have more flexible ways. Look at a typical day for Ruth, a wealthy woman in the UK, for example. Ruth wakes up in the morning and collects her post. There’s a letter addressed to her with a picture of a half-dead, beaten horse. It’s from a charity asking Ruth to donate money to save theanimals. The door bell rings and there, on R uth’s doorstep, is an old woman asking for money to help the aged. She turns on the television, hears sad music and sees a picture of a wide-eyed child dying of hunger in Africa with an appeal for money to help the child. Ruth then goes shopping for a dres s to wear to that evening’s large party for the rich and famous. The ticket cost her a small fortune, but she doesn’t mind because most of the money is going to a charity that fights AIDS. She feels good about going because she’s helping the sick. Within f ive minutes of walking down the street, Ruth has passed a charity shop. She doesn’t stop because she doesn’t think she’d find a suitable dress there—it’s full of old, secondhand clothes. But, many other people enter and but all sorts of bargains. Edna, a little old lady, looks after the shop. Any profit it has made goes to a cancer charity. Now that she has retired, she has plenty of spare time to offer her services for free.For people like Yao Ming, Ruth and Edna, charity is a virtue that holds the same importance in life as faith and hope. “As you look back on your life, the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others,” said Scottish author Henry Drummond.【1】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the story as a way of fundraising ?A．Charity party B．Charity postC．Charity TV program D．Charity for beggars.【2】What does the word “raise” in the first paragraph mean ?A．Collect together B．DonateC．Increase D．Bring to someone’s attention.【3】We can infer from the passage that .A．Yao Ming donated US$300,000 to help researchers find a cure for SARSB．Edna may not be a rich lady but she is willing to do something for othersC．Ruth leads a busy life and she feels very tiredD．Ruth is angry because so many people ask her for money every day【4】What’s the writer’s attitude towards charity ?A．The writer thinks it’s something only people like Ruth can afford to doB．The writer just wants to inform us of the different ways to practice charityC．The writer thinks it’s a virtue and admires the people who practice itD．The writer doesn’t make it clear in the story【5】The underlined part in the last paragraph probably means that .A．when you look back sometimes, you need stand outB．when you want to do something for others, you need stand outC．the moment you stand out, you can do something for othersD．what impresses people deeply is what they have done for others四、其他阅读下面短文，请根据文后的要求进行答题。

Actually, I have a lot of these little annoyances—don't we all？And it isn’t always easy to find peace when you’ve become upset or irritated.Let me tell you a little secret to finding peace of mind: see the glass as already broken .See, the cause of our stress, anger and irritation is that things don't go the way we like, the way we expect them to. Think of how many times this has been true for you. And so the solution is simple：expect things to go wrong, expect things to be different than we hoped or planned，expect the unexpected to happen. And accept it.One quick example: on our recent trip to Japan, I told my kids to expect things to go wrong—they always do on a trip. I told them, “See it as part of the adventure.”And this worked like a charm. When we inevitably(不可避免地) took the wrong train on a foreign-language subway system, or when it rained on the day we went to Disney Sea, or when we took three trains and walked 10 blocks only to find the National Children's Castle closed on Mondays...they said, “It's part of the adventure！” And it was all OK—we didn't get too bothered.So when the nice glass you bought inevitably falls and breaks some day, you might get upset. But things will be different, if you see the glass as already broken, from the day you get it. You know it'll break some day, so from the beginning, see it as already broken. Be a time-traveler, or someone with time-traveling vision, and see the future of this glass, from this moment until it inevitably breaks. And when it breaks, you won't be upset or sad—because it was already broken, from the day you got it. And you’ll realize that every moment you have with it is precious.【1】The author’s children could enjoy their trip to Japan because________.A．everything went smoothlyB．they had a lot of adventuresC．they had expected things to go wrongD．they could soon get used to the customs there【2】The author would probably agree that________.A．we should control our anger and irritationB．we must get well prepared for the futureC．optimism can help us overcome our anger and irritationD．anger and irritation is a natural part of our life【3】The purpose of the author is to________.A．tell us his own experience in lifeB．advise us how to find peace of mindC．tell us a happy trip he took with his childrenD．ask us to see things from both sides【4】By the underlined part (in Para.3), the author tells us to________.A．get ready for the worst result of thingsB．enjoy the process of thingsC．expect little from lifeD．find the relationship between cause and effect【5】We can learn from the passage that the author________.A．often gets angry in his lifeB．can adjust his state of mind accordinglyC．always expects others to act in his wayD．always suffers from his anger and irritation2.With his game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer, Jeremy Lin (林书豪) finished the New York Knicks' dramatic reversed(扭转) victory to defeat the Toronto Rapters.The Knicks have won six games in a row, and Jeremy Lin has put up impressive numbers during the continuous period of competitions. Although the season is still young, the Knicks have reversed course in just one week from the NBA's most disappointing team to a playoff (季后赛) contestant. Lin, not team's high-paid stars, has saved the Knicks season and likely coach D'Antoni's job.After nearly 15 years of disappointing, sometimes unsuccessful seasons, Madison Square Garden is alive again, and New York City can't stop talking about the Knicks. To put things into perspective（角度）, consider this: Just several years back, Knicks fans protested nightly outside of the Garden calling for the team's ownership to fire their resented coach Isiah Thomas.Now, Madison Square Garden Co. shares are at a record high, the Knicks' average household television rating is up 70 percent since Lin joined the starting lineup (首发阵容), and jersey sales are increasing very quickly. I watched the Knicks-Lakers game at a bar in Harlem, and have not felt that kind of energy from fans since the great playoff between the Knicks and Miami Heat in the late 1990s.Beyond the Knicks, Lin may be saving the NBA as well. Just a few months back, the NBA took a massive credibility（威信）hit during a multi-month lockout（停工）, where the owners did not allow the players to go back to play until they accept the new salary levels. As a consequence, the season did not even begin until Christmas Day. Over the past few years, LeBron James' (勒布朗﹒詹姆斯) relatively long and unpleasant free-agent (自由职业球员) events, combined with poor play around the league, have angered fans and damaged the league's brand.Lin is leading a one-week NBA basketball revival.

He slammed on the brakes(make his car stop)．The angry driver then jumped out of the car, caught the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car，shouting，“What was that all about and who are you?”The young boy was apologetic．“Please，Mister．．．Please，I’m sorry…I didn’t know what else to do．I threw the brick because no one else would stop…”With tears dripping down his face，the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car．“It’s my brother，”he said．“He fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up．”Now sobbing(crying silently)，the boy asked the executive，“Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair?

Carbon Day Automotive, a Chicago-based company，has now demonstrated（演示）a solar-powered recharging point, known as the Solar Plug-In Station，which lets motorists easily charge their cars using electricity that has been produced without any environmental damage. The Solar PlugIn Station has gone on show in Chicago as part of the city’s bid（竞标）to host the 2016 Olympic Games. According to Carbon Day Automotive，the Solar Plug-In Station on show in Chicago is part of the vital infrastructure(基础设施) required for electric vehicles in Chicago and was the focus of a recent visit by the International Olympic Committee.These sola rpowered electricity points will be used daily to fuel the city’s electric vehicles with power from the sun. By producing the electricity from pollution-free solar cell, the CO2 emissions are reduced to zero.“Solar energy and electric vehicles are a part nership that is one more step to reducing our dependence on foreign oil,” says Richard Lowenthal, CEO of Coulomb Technologies.Coulomb Technologies recently developed the components (部件) required for individual recharging stations，marketed as ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations.Carbon Day Automotive is the Midwest distributor for the ChargePoint stations. The SolarPlug-In Station consists of giant solar panels (电池板) that shade the tiny ChargePoint Networked Charging Station.The solar panel is connected to an underground battery pack，ready for everyday refueling.“Without these stations it would be like driving around in a traditional car without the availability of gas stations，” says Scott Emalfarb，CEO at Carbon Day.“The day of true plugin electric veh icles will be here sooner than most people realize and the world needs to be ready to accommodate（为……提供场地）them.”【1】The Solar Plug-In Station is used as part of the bid to host the Olympics mainly because ________.A．it’s environmentally friendlyB．it makes up for the lack of electricityC．it’s a new idea and attracts people’s attentionD．it brings convenience to electric vehicle users【2】We can learn from the passage that ________.A．to recharge the electric vehicles takes a long timeB．the Solar Plug-In Station will come into use in 2016C．the Solar Plug-In Station has gone on show internationallyD．Chicago is promoting the use of electric vehicles【3】According to the passage，how many of the following statements are TRUE?a. Tesla Roadster is a kind of plug-in electric vehicle.b. The Solar Plug-In Station uses solar power to charge all of the cars.c. Chicago is a city，which is rich in oil.d. The Solar Plug-In Station consists of underground battery packs.e. Scott Emalfarb is optimistic about the future of plug-in electric vehicles.A．2.B．3.C．4.D．5.【4】The passage implies that when the Solar Plug-In Station becomes popular，________.A．more visitors will come to ChicagoB．the citizens of Chicago will be able to go to work fasterC．more space for electric vehicles will be neededD．the cost of electric vehicles will be lower than traditional cars【5】What would be the best title for the passage?A．Chicago Will Soon Be Full of Electric VehiclesB．Chicago Calls on People to Buy Electric VehiclesC．Chicago Fights for Its Bid to Host the 2016 OlympicsD．Chicago Shows Its Solar-powered Recharging Stations四、其他[1] At some point in your life you are bound to be required to give a speech. But are you capable of having the effect on an audience that you want to have? Here are some things to keep in mind.[2] You may think it's good to create an informal effect, or even that it' s cool to use filler words (填充词) such as “like” and “you know”. But in reality, these words add nothing, and create the danger of making you sound foolish and uninformed.[3] Pauses can be of significant help in adding depth to your speech, but only when they are used at the right moments. Pausing suddenly and with a panicked look will just make your audience uneasy. Also, a very long silence is the last thing you need. Make sure that your pauses are nicely placed if you want to sound like a speaker who has absolute control of what he is talking about.[4] You also need to be careful when you switch to a new idea during the course of a speech. Often speakers________transition words such as “well”, “so”, and so on, when they move on to new ideas. My advice, however, is to avoid such words and to try to think of a way of making a transition that is unique to the topic of your speech.[5] Finally, avoid “umming” and “ahhing” the way many people do when they give speeches. You want to sound co nfident and assured, and the way not to do so is to put an “urn” or an “ah” in the middle of every sentence.【1】What is the text mainly about?

They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness, report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.“No matter how much income each person made, those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not,” Dunn said in a statement.Dunn’s team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharing bonus of between $3,000 and $8,000. “Employees who devoted more of their bonus to prosocial spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself,” they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.They gave their volunteers $5 or $20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it. Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.“These findings suggest that very minor changes in spending allocations-as little as $5 may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day,” Dunn said.【1】What is the general idea of the passage?A．The more you earn, the greater happiness you will get.B．Spending more money on yourself will make you happier.C．Money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else.D．You can spend only $5 a day on someone else to get happiness.【2】The underlined work “boost” in the first paragraph probably means .A．help to find B．help to increase C．help to bring D．help to get【3】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．Those who spend more money on others can get much more bonus.B．People usually think spending money on themselves will make them happier.C．Very small changes in spending your money may be enough to gain happiness.D．Researchers think that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn.【4】Dunn is .A．a reporter in a journal B．a volunteer in the experimentC．an employee in a company D．a psychologist at a university【5】It can be inferred from the 6th paragraph that .A．the volunteers not given $5 or $20 spent their own money on themselvesB．those who spent the money on someone or something else felt happier about itC．the volunteers were given $5 or $20 as a reward for the experimentD．half of the volunteers could spend the money as they liked3.People and the sources of air pollution are found in the same places. This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes from cars. Statistics show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities. Another major source of dirty air is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the country.On the average, we throw away more trash and garbage than the year before. The burning of garbage contributes to air pollution. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities.

I volunteered about 30 to 40 hours a week during the summer.Most of the time I spent there was with Mr. Gillespie. He never has any visitors, and nobodyseemed to care about his condition. I spent many days there holding his hand and talking tohim, helping with anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine, even thoughhe responded with only an occasional squeeze (紧握) of my hand. Mr. Gillespie was in a coma(昏迷).I left for a week for a vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr. Gillespiewas gone. I didn’t have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear theymight tell me he had died. So with many questions unanswered, I continued to volunteer therethrough my eighth-grade year.Several years later, when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station whenI noticed a familiar face. When I realized who it was, my eyes filled with tears. He wasalive! I got up the nerve to ask him if he was Mr. Gillespie, and if he had been in a comaabout five years ago. With an uncertain look on his face, he replied yes. I explained how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours talking to him in the hospital. His eyes welled up with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever received.He began to tell me how, as he lay there comatose(昏睡的), he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time. He thought it was an angel, who was there with him. Mr. Gillespie firmly believed that it was my voice and touch that had kept him alive. Then he told me about his life. We exchanged a hug, said our good-byes and went our separate ways.Although I haven’t seen him since, he fills my heart with joy every day. I know that I made a difference between his life and his death. As importantly, he has made a great difference in my life. I will never forget him and what he did for me: He made me an angel.28.
