2013高考英语杭州市一模（抢分题）强化训练（8）及答案The legal age for drinking alcohol in the United States is twenty­one.Underage drinking is a crime but also a common part of college social life.This week in our Foreign Student Series，we look at alcohol policies at American colleges and universities.These policies differ from school to school，as do enforcement efforts.But many schools have been moving to strengthen their rules.The United States has more than 170,000,000 students in higher education.Each year,1,700 of them aging eighteen to twenty­four die from alcohol­related road crashes and other injuries.More than 600,000 are injured under the influence of alcohol.And almost 700,000 are attacked by another student who has been drinking.These numbers，from a 2007 report，are on a government Website：collegedrinking .One behavior that college officials are trying to prevent is binge drinking，having four or five drinks or more in a short period of time.Some researchers have found that students who think binge drinking is normal often overestimate how much other students really drink.A person can die of alcohol poisoning.At the University of Oklahoma，new policies went into effect after a nineteen­year­old student died in 2004.He had been drinking heavily at a fra ternity party(男大学生联谊会)．Now alcohol is banned from all fraternity and sorority houses and university housing.Student organizations can serve alcohol at events but only on Friday and Saturday nights.And they must provide for transportation to and from off­c ampus parties.Other new requirements include an alcohol education program that first­year students take online.The policies govern behavior on campus and off.With a first violation，students pay seventy­five dollars and their parents are told.They must als o take an alcohol education class.For a second “strike”，they have to pay one hundred and fifty dollars.A third strike means a suspension for at least one semester.Since January of 2005,633 students have had a first strike.30 have had a second strike—and one has been suspended.An official at Oklahoma tells us the aim is not just to punish but to change behavior and the culture at the university.1．In American colleges and universities， .A．no students under age 21 drink alcoholB．many students under age 21 drink alcoholC．rules about drinking alcohol are almost the sameD．rules about drinking alcohol are different from state to state2．Each year in the United States，about 1,700 young college students aging 18 to 24 die .A．from alcohol poisoningB．from traffic accidentsC．under the influence of alcoholD．from alcohol­related road crashes and other injuries3．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．The deaths or injuries of the students are all because they have been drinking.B．The numbers from collegedrinking are not accurate at all.C．The death of a 19­year­old student influenced policies of the University of Oklahoma.D．No student organizations can offer alcohol at events in the US now.4．Which of the following can be the best title of this article?A．Studying in the US：Rules about AlcoholB．The Legal Age for Drinking Alcohol in the United StatesC．Policies of Drinking Alcohol in the US Differ from School to SchoolD．New Policies about Alcohol Drinking at the University of Oklahoma1．Once outside，Tong Shuangxi rushed toward the kindergarten where the children were having a nap.

From the beginning , people may send the wrong signal (信号) . Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship .Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree . For example , business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust . Even with people at work , it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea , before they do any job . In many European countries—like the UK or France –people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand . I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion ; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just-stared at me and smiled .After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly ,English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact. this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment（多元文化环境）will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.56．In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to .A．develop closer relations B．share the same cultureC．get to know each other D．keep each other company57．The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that .A．the English prefer to make long speechesB．too many words are of no useC．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by natureD．even talk and silence can be culturally different58．According to the text ,how can people from different cultures understand eachotherbetter?A．By sharing different ways of life.

D．How to Build Up a Relationship.56—59 ADCB**********************************************************结束BOne of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost ina “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear –producingTV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and humanhealth for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play.Each of us had a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. Wecannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss thesense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes .“If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parksagainst encroachment（蚕食）?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine ,but they aremissing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from theirphysical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive（认知的）skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggeststhat kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that playin nature fosters（培养）leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tinyoutdoor experience can create wonder in a child, The three – year – old turningover his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on theroadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.Kids are not to blame. They are over –protected and frightened. It is dangerousout there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breakingan arm as a childhood rite（仪式）of passage.Everyone from developers to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regainfor our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fieldsand woods that cement（增强）love, respect and need for the landscape. As parents,we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yetbe our greatest cause.60．According to Paragraph 2,the writer thinks that_____.A．we are the last generation to experience nature.B．the author of Last Child in the Woods don’t defend parks against encroachmentC．without having a nature experience, kids are missing out a huge enrichment of their livesD．children should grow up to be protectors of nature61．According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will .A．keep a high sense of wonderB．be over – protected by their parentsC．be less healthy both physically and mentallyD．change wild places and creatures for the better62．According to the author, children’s breaking an arm is .A．the fault on the part of their parentsB．the natural experience in their growing upC．the result of their own carelessness in playD．the effect of their repetitive stress from computers63．In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to .A．blame children for getting lost in computer gamesB．encourage children to protect parks from encroachmentC．show his conce rn about children’s lack of experience in natureD．inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around60—63 DCBC**********************************************************结束CTerraforming (Earth-forming) other planets, also known as planetary engineering (行星工程), seems like a task still centuries away for mankind to accomplish. However, it is a vigorous topic that attracts both popular and scientific interest. Why should the possibility of terraforming other planets be studied when it may be centuries before we know enough to even decide if it’s a good idea?Mankind is getting more and more hard facts about other planets. The atmosphere of Venus has been explored; robots have surveyed the surface of Mars; Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn have been studied by spacecraft. Speculations have been answered; new allow us to make the first attempt of planetary engineering.In the past, people with excellent ideas about terraforming have kept them to themselves, or buried them in a desk drawer because they did not realize that anyone else was interested. But now, a wide circle of people has begun to do this kind of work. For instance, NASA funded a project on transforming Mars.There are several strong reasons which demand that the possibilities of terraforming be studied carefully. First, it’s an exciting idea of a possible future for human beings. Such thinking has a valuable role in providing options for our future directions. Secondly, the techniques of terraforming will also help contemporary technologies in weather and climate control. Thirdly, such study may assist us in detecting any possible existence of extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI, The Search for Extraterrsstial Intelligence, 地外文明搜索) and alien (异己的) civilizations on other planets.Though the mission is far beyond our reach at the moment, we should at least keep our options open. Through debate and study on this subject, the possibility of rebuilding other planets to make them suitable homes for people may come true some day in the future.64.According to the context, what’s the meaning of the word “speculation” in paragraph 2?A. The act of discussing something with a group of people.B. The act of studying and researching.C. The act of guessing without knowing all the facts about something.D. The acting of writing letters to a certain organization.65. Why did people keep the idea of terraforming to themselves in the past?A. They thought no one else would show interest in the idea.B. They gradually came to find the idea crazy.C. They thought the idea would never come true.D. They had few resources for further study on this topic.66. Which is NOT the reason to support the study of terraforming?A. E ven if we don’t succeed in terraforming, such study may help us to betterunderstand technologies such as climate and weather control.B. Such study may explore a new direction of development for human beings.C. Such study may enable us to find the lives on other planets.D. As the resources on Earth are being drained, it’s very urgent to study howto migrate (迁移) to other planets.67. What’s the main idea of the article?A. It’s highly possible that terraforming other planets will come true so weshould increase investing in this program.B. Even if the idea of terraforming other planets may take centuries to realize,we have many reasons to support such studies.C. Terraforming other planets is the best option for human being’s future.D. More and more people are taking planetary engineering as their occupation.64—67 CADB*****************************************************结束。
