［2012皖南七市联考］
One cold night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco．There I was walking home around one o’clock in the morning after a 36 practice at the
theatre. With the opening night only a week away, I was still learning my
lines by heart. I was having 37 handling my part-time job at the bank
in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I
thought seriously about 38 both acting and San Francisco. I had 39
too much of the city life.
As I walked down the 40 streets under the tall buildings, I felt very small and cold, so I began 41 both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out 42 a few homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my 43 , I heard a sound behind me. I 44 quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me 45 so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I 46 what the noise had been. It had been my wallet 47 to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk 48 for 15 minutes, my wallet was 49 to be found.
Just as I was about to quit the 50 , I heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to 51 . When a voice came from the inside, “Alisa Camcho? ” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened and out jumped a small blonde man with an 52 look in his eyes. “Is this 53 you’re looking for? ” He asked, holding up something like a wallet.
Finally, I got my wallet back. I also got back some 54 of city life. I realized the city couldn’t be a bad place as soon as people were willing to 55 each other.

第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
（A）
Few people ever took notice of Mr Jimmy Tan whenever he entered a room．He was a shy, quiet and simple man who preferred to keep to himself in public．On the other hand, Mr Thomas Kim, a fellow scientist, was a man everyone would notice on the streets．He wore bright outfits with huge flower prints, spoke with a booming voice, and his laughter could be heard from all corners of a room．In addition to the differences in their characters, Mr Kim and Mr Tan were also great rivals at work in the Institute of Future Science．
On Christmas Eve, everyone left work early to celebrate the special occasion, except for Mr Tan and Mr Kim．They were in their laboratory analysing the results of their latest experiments．Mr Tan realized that something special was taking place in his experiment —the bacteria he had cultured were growing extremely quickly under high pressure and at a very low temperature．After noting down the findings in his notebook, he left the room to prepare for another round of tests．Shortly after, Mr Kim entered．
“Hey Jimmy, ”Mr Kim called out, “do you have an extra copy of the laboratory booking form? ”
There was no reply, so Mr Kim looked through Mr Tan’s things．He soon found Mr Tan’s notebook and was horrified to see that Mr Tan had managed to make one of the most important discoveries in modern science．He then looked into the deep-freeze cupboard where a dish containing the bacteria was kept．He put them into his pocket and returned to his own laboratory．
Mr Tan came back an hour later to find his notebook and the dish missing．He knew that Mr Kim had taken them and went to Mr Kim’s laboratory to find out．When he opened the door, he found Mr Kim lying on the floor motionless．His face was pale and his skin had turned black．The deadly bacteria had been handled improperly．He shook his head and left．56．From the first paragraph we know Mr Kim was a quite _____ person．
A．famous B．hard-working

If you want to improve your child’s results at school, you could do a lot worse than ensuring that they do plenty of exercise．Scientists have already shown that physical activity can make you brainier．But a team in America has used scans to show that an important part of the brain actually grows in children who are fit．These youngsters tend to be more intelligent and have better memories than those who are inactive．
Scientists also found that one of the most important parts of their brains was 12 percent larger than those of unfit children．They believe that encouraging children to take exercise from a very young age could help them do better at school later．Researchers from the University of Illinois, in the U．S．, studied the brains of 49 children aged nine and ten using a magnetic resonance imaging scan （核磁共振摄影扫描）, a technique which provides very detailed pictures of organs and tissues（组织）in the body．
They also tested the fitness levels of the children by making them run on a treadmill （跑步机）．The scientists found that the hippocampus, a part of the brain responsible for memory and learning, was around 12 percent larger in the fitter children．
Professor Art Kramer, who led the study published in the journal Brain Research, said the findings had important implications for encouraging individuals to take part in sport from a young age．“We knew that experience and environmental factors and socioeconomic status all impact brain development, ” he said．“If you get some terrible genes from your parents, you can’t really fix that, and it’s not easy to do something about your economic status．But here’s something that we can do something about．”
60．If you want to improve your children’s results in school, _____．
A．it is worse to ensure that they do plenty of exercise
B．you can have their brain scanned
C．it could be better to make sure that they do a lot of exercise
D．you can do a lot except ensuring that they do exercise
61．According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．The fitness level of the children is linked to their intelligence．
B．Children who have a larger hippocampus will probably have better memories．
C．You can do something about the genes from your parents．
D．Unhealthy children will probably have a smaller hippocampus than others．
62．All the following factors that have some influence on one’s brain are mentioned EXCEPT _____．
factor
B．economic status
A．genetic
fitness
D．economic development
C．physical

party

Today, almost everyone has heard of Harry Potter．The books detailing his experiences at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have aroused passion, creativity, and interest in reading throughout the world．
But have you ever considered why you are a fan of the Harry Potter series?
JK Rowling has created a list of characters and an environment for them to inhabit that appeals to both adults and children．
The fantasy aspect of the wizarding world expands the imagination, and takes the mind to new and exciting places．Anything could happen there．Her stories contain parts of the believable and unbelievable, changing the predictability that readers commonly come across and bear in fiction．
The main theme of the series, including good versus evil, prejudice, love, death, sacrifice, friendship and loyalty, in actuality contributes to the ever-lasting nature of the stories．At the same time, these themes remind us of classic literature, offering mature readers tales that wear like a comfortable pair of shoes, while introducing younger readers to concepts they will meet throughout their lives．
Much of the appeal also comes from the characters．In each book, JK Rowling introduces and describes the characters in such a way that we wonder not only about their futures, but also about their pasts．Even supporting characters are suddenly more than just extras in the background．And what of Harry Potter himself? We care about Harry, because we watch him grow from an innocent boy to a powerful wizard．We see him as both Hero and Victim．He experiences endless love and extreme pain, and as readers, we experience them with him．
This perfect combination of emotion, suspense and fantasy, together with the fact that JK Rowling is a superb storyteller is the reason why we are Harry Potter fans．People are fond of Harry Potter series．With books like these, it’s hard not to be．
67．Harry Potter series become popular partly because _____．
A．they remind us of the childhood and environment we had in the past
B．they take us to a world beyond our imagination and expectation

B．Readers care only about Harry but not those supporting characters．
C．Even the supporting characters are attractive in the story．
D．Those supporting characters only appear all of a sudden．
69．The themes of the Harry Potter series do not contain _____．
B．good and evil
love
and
A．prejudice
C．death
D．safety and peace
and
sacrifice

［2011济南模拟］
“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what
it is to move, ” said David Belle, the founder of parkour(跑酷).
Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring.
But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and
over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale?
Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over
obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond’s wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.
Yes, that’s parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered as an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.
Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that.
Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念) behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, “I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything. ”
Another philosophy we’ve learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.
71. Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of _______ .
A. its founder, David Belle
B. the film, Casino Royale
C. its risks and tricks
D. the varieties of participants
72. The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_____”.
barriers D.
roofs
objects C.
B.
A.
streets
73. Which of the following is true of parkour?
A. It challenges human abilities.
B. It is a good but boring sport.
C. It needs special training.
D. It is a team sport.
74. As its participants move around a city, _____ .
A. they can ask for help
B. they may choose to escape
C. they should run to extremes
D. they must learn to survive
75. Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour?

【参考范文】
Good afternoon! It’s my pleasure to briefly introduce my school life regarding two aspects, independent learning and cooperative learning.
Independent learning is a basic principle of my school education. At one level it encourages us to work out plans and arrange our timetable, in which case we improve our independent thinking and management skills. On another level, it presents us with a block of work in which we are developing strategies.
Meanwhile, we are making great attempt to create a cooperative-learning environment, where we are encouraged to work in groups. Within group work, we are guided to voice our individual。
