The Man shrugged helplessly. ―Close your eyes, Man,‖ the Cat said.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.ALast August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager‘s intended major, one located nea r a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe. ―The safety issue is a big one,‖ says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn‘t alone in his worries.On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer —―That‘s not a problem here,‖ —Mahoney began to feel uneasy.―No crime whatsoever?‖ comments Mahoney today. ―I just don‘t buy it. ‖ Nor should he: in 1999 the U. S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. ―Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,‖ s ays David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. ―Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.‖But getting accurate information isn‘t easy. Colleges must report crime statistics by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. ―The truth may not always be serious,‖ war n s S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc. , the nation‘s leading campus safety watchdog group.To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.56.

It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges ____A. receive too many visitorsB. mirror the rest of the nationC. hide the truth of campus crimeD. have too many watchdog groups58. The underlined word ―buy‖ in the third paragraph means _______A. mindB. admitC. believeD. expect59. We learn from the text that ―the honest ones‖ in the fourth paragraph most probab ly refers tocolleges _____.A. that are protected by campus securityB. that report campus crimes by lawC. that are free from campus crimeD. that enjoy very good publicity60. What is the text mainly about?A. Exact campus crime statisticsB. Crimes on or around campusesAs a teenager I was schooled in an elite (精英)school where I was given the idea that I was better than others and that achievement and winning were all important. At school I was fortunate to win enough to balance all the times I lost and I began to believe in this idea. I survived and thrived.After leaving high school and university and going out into the world I entered that real messy world where my progress was not measured by an end–of–term exam or by my achievements on a sports field. My life losses began to exceed my successes and I began to think that there must be more to life than winning.It wasn‘t until I became a parent that this thought became a strongly-held belief. I am the proud father of a seven-year-old girl, Naomi. Her best friends since she was an infant are two boys, Kean and Cyrus. They would play together 3 full days a week---one day in each child‘s home.Naomi and Kean have always been fast runners and very evenly matched too. Cyrus was slower to develop physically and was not as speedy as his two playmates, but he loved to run and play just as much as the other two.One day the three friends were at my house. Our family enjoyed a large house with a great running track. The kids were racing around and I was sitting in the living room as Naomi and Kean burst into the room, neck and neck and fell joyfully into the couch. Each bou nced up loudly proclaiming ―I‘m the first, I‘m the first‖. Several seconds passed before Cyrus appeared, with an earnest look on his face. He too fell, face first, into the soft couch and bounced to his feet, with total joy and celebration, ―I‘ m the third!‖ I believe we should also celebrate those that finish as the third in a race.61. What‘s the main idea of the text?A. Winning is not everything in life.B. Life is full of challengesC. One should learn to think in lifeD. No one can win all the time62. While studying in an elite school, the author held the belief that ________.A. one should not depend on his fortuneB. the chief goal of life is to winC. one must learn to give upD. one should not just focus on his academic achievement63. When he began to work, the author _________.A. changed his old belief immediatelyB. also made great achievementsC. met a lot of failures and disappointmentsD. began to regret his school days64. The reason why the author tells about the race of the three kids is that _____________A. it shows the spirit of sportsmanshipB. it shows the meaning of true friendshipC. it teaches the author how to be a better fatherD. it strengthens his new belief65. Which of the following BEST describes the author‘s at titude towards Cyrus?A. Pitiful.B. ConcernedC. AppreciativeD. DisappointedFor most people, Verona is the setting of one of the most famous love stories ever told — William Shakespeare‘s Romeo and Juliet, making it one of the most popular holiday destinations for lovers and romantics. Shakespeare said, ―There is no world outside these walls…‖ and tourists will indeed feel like they are lost inside another world when they enter the gates to the historic city of Verona.With beautiful red tiled(铺瓦的)rooftops against leafy green trees and the sparkling Adige River that flows through this UNESCO world heritage site, Verona is one of the most picturesque destinations in the country. Sadly though, much of the ancient architecture and ancient Roman monuments were ravaged by a powerful earthquake that rocked the city in 1117, which led to a massive Romanesque(罗马式的)rebuilding.Visit Juliet‘s house and rub her statue for good luck, walk across the Ponte Pietra Bridge to admire the views over the Adige River, visit the statue of famed poet Dante Alighieri in the Piazza dei Signori (绅士广场), or marvel at the still functional Arena di V erona, an enormous Roman amphitheatre(圆形露天剧场)dating back 2,000 years and boasting the largest opera stage in the world. The best time to visit the Arena is during the lyrical season in the summer when operas take place inside theatre on pleasant summer nights.After a long day of enjoying the romance, history and splendor(壮观)of the city of Verona, climb the steps on the hi ll above the Roman Amphitheatre to the Castell San Pietro (St Peter‘s Castle) for spectacular views over the city — the perfect setting for a romantic sunset picnic.66. Shakespeare is mentioned in the first paragraph to show that______.A. people can v isit Shakespeare‘s house in V eronaB. visitors are easy to be attracted by VeronaC. Verona is most poets‘ favorite placeD. Verona is an old and quiet place67. We can infer from the second paragraph that______.A. many buildings in Verona are rela ted to Shakespeare‘s playsB. most ancient buildings in Verona were built by the RomansC. many buildings we see today in Verona were rebuiltD. the Romanesque buildings in Verona can resist strong earthquakes68. People rub Juliet‘s statue to______.A. be blessed with good luckB. show respect for herC. wish her good luckD. satisfy their curiosity69. The underlined word ―ravaged‖ in the passage most probably means______.A. decoratedB. destroyedC. builtD. protected70. What do we know about Arena di Verona from the third paragraph?A. It is where Juliet‘s statue is located.B. It can hold the most audience.C. It is the oldest theatre in the world.D. It is an ancient theatre that is still in use today.Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence—and a not-so-good influence—on this generation of teenagers. More than 2,000 middle and high school teachers took an online survey. Researchers also spoke with some teachers.Three-quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a ―mostly positive‖ effect on their students‘ research habits and skills. But 64 percent said the technologies ―do more to distract students than to help them academically‖. Many students think ―doing research‖ now means just doing a quick search on Google.Judy Buchanan is deputy director of the project and a co-author of the report. She says digital research tools are helping students learn more, and learn faster.―Teachers really embrace these tools because they are ways to make some of learning exciting a nd engaging. And the goal is to really help them become creators of content, and not just sort of consumers.‖But one problem the survey found is that many students are lacking in digital literacy. In other words, they trust too much of the information they find on the Internet. Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills they need to judge the quality of online information.Another problem, teachers say, is that the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers. They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research librarians.Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work that has been done by others instead of using their own abilities.Title: Digital tools‘ influences on teenagersⅠ.

Answer the questions according to theinformation given in the passage.The island nation of Tuvalu (图瓦卢) in the Pacific Ocean wants the bigger countries of the world to do something about climate change. And it‘s not just for the good of the planet: Tuvalu could be covered by the sea in less than 50 years if the planet gets much hotter.Tuvalu has no industry, burns little petrol, and creates less carbon pollution than a small town in America. However, this tiny place is on the front line of climate change. The increase in ocean temperatures and the rising sea level—all resulted from a warming atmosphere—are making trouble for Tuvalu.Sea level rise is the greatest problem. With an average elevation (高度) of 6 feet above sea level, Tuvalu doesn‘t have far to go. Tuvalu‘s highest elevation is 4.6 meters—15 feet—but most of it is no more than a meter above the sea. Several times each year the regular lunar cycle of tides (潮水), riding on the ever higher sea level, brings the Pacific waters over onto roads and into neighborhoods. Sometimes a high tide can flood roads and run across the whole land. You can never separate the sea from the land, so some natives warned visitors, ―You‘d better not run after dark, for you may fall into the sea..‖81. Where does Tuvalu lie? (no more than 4 words)82. What could happen to Tuvalu in less than 50 years if the planet gets much hotter? (no more than 7words)83. What is the greatest problem Tuvalu facing now? (no more than 3 words)84. What is the title of the passage? (no more than 5 words)Section C (25 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below.同学之间难免会发生不愉快的事情,其中有误会,有矛盾,有争吵,有被冤枉,有受到不公正待遇……,请就此写一篇英语短文,简要描述这件事,并谈谈自己的感想。

高中英语真题:2015届高三英语12月月考试题第一节阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AAs we know, many teen celebrities(名人) feel and think that having a slimmer figure can do great goo d to them. But, does size really matter? Are teenage fans trying hard to become like their celebrity idols(偶像)? Do celebrities really have the power to influence people, e specially teenagers?For the longest time, many parents blame teen idols for influenc ing the way their kids act. Have you noticed how teens idolize t he celebrities these days? Even, their personal affairs are being followed by kids these days. Take for example the case of Lind say Lohan of Mary Kate Ashley. They are definitely famous tee n stars. But, since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business, their health and body suffer. M any kids are aware of this problem. But they are easily influenc ed by these celebrities to exercise and eat less.It is a fact that the media, and especially famous teen celebrities, can influence people powerfully. But teenagers are easily infl uenced because teenage years are the period when our person ality and identity developments take place. Teens watching TV shows and reading magazines are easily pulled into the dieting and harmful eating habits because the media have some ways t o pull these acts. They use thin models and celebrities to endor se(做广告宣传) products or to star in an up-and –coming shows or movies. With fierce competition, celebrities ar e forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that come their way.Living in today’s time and generation is a bit disturbing to a lot o f parents. Media, especially as well as the celebrities, have a ve ry powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad. It’s goo d that we can control ourselves to avoid bad things from happe ning. If not, parents should really be aware and guide their teen s to determine what’s in ad what’s out.21. From the passage we can find Lindsay Lohan .A. lives an unhealthy lifestyleB. lives a rich and happy lifeC. doesn’t get any exerciseD. sets a good example for teenagers22 According to the writer, why are teenagers easily influenced by some TV shows?A. They are tired of school.B. Their celebrity idols appea r in many TV shows.C. They’re in their development period.D. They have nothing t o do in their spare time23 Many celebrities have to be on diet .A. to keep healthy to face competitionB. to survive under pressureC. to keep a slim sizeD. to satisfy th eir teenage fans24 What’s the title of the passage?A. Parents’ responsibilities.B. Advice on self-control.C. Bad influences of celebrities.D. Media’s bad inf luences.BThroughout history, gold has been a sign of purity, beauty and power. Calling something golden means it has great quality an d value. For example, the golden rule is possibly the world's mo st widespread moral rule. It says people should treat others the way they themselves would like to be treated. Every major relig ion has its own version of this idea.The golden ratio is found in art, architecture and nature. It describes a rectangle with a length about one and one-half times its width. Objects using this ratio in their design seem to please the eye more than others.Philosophers(哲学家) have their own golden idea. The golden mean says mode ration in all things is the best way to live one's life. It is an idea l inked to the Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. Similar thoug hts exist in Buddhism and Confucianism.(哲学思想)Ancient Greek myths told of a time long ago when people lived i n peace and happiness. Poets called it the Golden Age. A gol den age now describes a historical period of great artistic, scien tific or economic progress. It can even recall a time of success and popularity for an industry. For example, the nineteen thirtie s and forties were called the Golden Age of Radio.You may have heard the proverb silence is golden. This mea ns silence is of great value. It is sometimes better to say nothin g than to speak.You might say your child was good as gold when he behaved well at school. British writer Charles Dickens used this express ion in eighteen forty-three. He was describing the child Tiny Tim in the book "A Chris tmas Carol."In nineteen thirty-seven, American playwright Clifford Odets wrote a play called " The Golden Boy." This expression describes a young man who has many good qualities and a bright future.You might tell someone you are golden when that person doe s something very well.Gold digger is another description. But this does not say som ething nice about a person. A gold digger is someone who see ks to marry a rich person because he or she is only interested i n that person's money.Maybe you like old songs from the nineteen fifties or sixties th at are still well known and popular today. These are called gold en oldies. In the nineteen eighties and nineties, an American tel evision comedy series told about four older women living in , . The Golden Girls often dealt with social issues in a funny way. Today, most older people look forward to reaching their golden years. This is when hard-working people can retire to a life of ease and fulfillment.25 .According to the “golden ratio”, which of the following objec ts in the most pleasant to see?26 .The article mainly tells us ___A .the value of gold B. the expressions with “gold”C .the history of gold industry D. the purity, beauty and power of gold27 .Which of the following statements is made out of place?A. The beauty of tolerance and kindness comes from the Conf ucianism philosophical thought ,such as Golden Mean.B. At the beginning of the twenty first century computer reache d its Golden Age.C. She only dates guys with money. She’s a Gold Digger.D. My grandfather is 65 and is looking forward to reaching his Golden Ages28 .What we can infer from the passage is that ___A. all the expressions in the article are positive descriptionB. the “golden mean” is an idea linked to the Ancient Greek ph ilowpher AristotleC. the “golden oldies” refers to the popular soon in the 1950s o r 60s which are not well-know todayD. in their golden yearw, older people can still work hard before their retireCAfter moving to the , immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to ch oose high-calorie, fatty foods in an attempt to appear more American, a new study finds. That's one reason why immigrants approach U.S. levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to .The researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat of appearing un-American influenced respondents' food choices.After being qu estioned about their ability to speak English,75 percent of Asian-Americans identified a typical American food as their favorite. O nly 25 percent of Asian-Americans who had not been asked if they spoke English did th e same.When their American identity was called into question during a f ollow-up study, Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American d ishes, such as hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches, ove r more Asian fare. In that experiment, 55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant. Some participants were told that only Am ericans could participate in the study. Those who chose the mor e typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calori es, including 12 grams of fat and seven grams of saturated fat(饱和脂肪)."People who feel like they need to prove they belong in a culture will change their habits in an attempt to fit in," said Sapna Che ryan, an author of the study and assistant professor of psycholo gy at the of . "If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their live s, this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health," Cheryan added.Social pressures, the study concluded, are at the heart of the pr oblem. "In American society today, being American is associate d with being white. Americans who don't fit this image even if th ey were born here and speak English feel that pressure to prove that they're American," said Cheryan.29 According to the survey, _____.A. Asia-Americans care less about their health.B. 25 percent of Americans like junk food.C. choosing food is related to Asian-American’s situationD. immigrants are forced to eat junk food.30 The underlined word “fare” in Paragraph 3 most probably m eans “_____”A. food offered as a mealB. a person taking a taxiC. money spent on foodD. an arranged thing to do31 According to Sauna Cheryan, ________.A. what immigrants have done is ridiculousB. American traditional foods are healthierC. immigrants risk their health in order to fit inD. American cul ture affects immigrants deeply32 Which of the following should take the blame for the bad eat ing habit?A. The situation of employmentB. The traditional cultureC. The American governmentD. The pressures from societyDStaying silent can be just as powerful as the words you mean t o say, like when the act of hugging will be more comforting than saying, “Sorry for your loss.”Another time when silence is golden is when you are unsure of what to say. If you are confused about your own feelings concer ning a matter, it’s best to stay quiet until you are more certain b ecause more harm can be done by revealing false or exaggerat ed feelingsChoose silence instead of blurting out ‘in-the-moment’ feelings that are hurtful and not really how you feel in t he grand scheme of things. When you feel the urge to say an u nkind thing, take a few breaths and think of the possible consequences of your words.Silence can be your best friend during negotiations. Say your pi ece, then close your mouth, and let the other person come to th eir own conclusions. Your silence shows that one, you are confi dent in what you just said, and two, you respect the other perso n enough to hear what they have to say.Sometimes silence is the best and most timely solution becaus e the other person is not in a position to hear what you have to say. For example, when a friend needs for you to listen to her p roblems, but she is unable to accept your advice at that momen t.Practice being silent at work when you don’t have anything mea ningful to contribute. Unless you can elevate the conversation b y pointing out something interesting, missing, or beneficial, it’s b est to just observe and learn.Finally, silence is golden when you don’t want to engage in a fo ol’s argument.

It is generally agreed that a good student must be able to concentrate for a reasonable time on a written text, yet most students are given very little help to practice this skill. Almost all classroom reading is 1 into minutes of reading and therefore it is no wonder that a number of students have 2 in this field.If you have a problem with 3 , you must first examine the conditions in which you work. Lighting can be a problem: too many readers put up with 4 lighting conditions. If this is a problem, and you don’t have a reading lamp, try a strong bulb (灯泡), read near a window in day time and always avoid reading in your own shadow. 5 the light should come from overhead or over your shoulder. Reflective surfaces should be avoided. You should also 6 excessive contrast (过度对比) caused by using a reading lamp as the only 7 of light as this will cause great tiredness and probably eye injury.A second reason for poor concentration is the 8 of motivation, that is, an absence of any 9 sense of purpose. If this is the cause, you will almost 10 be bored by the text.Be sure that you keep your 11 in mind during your reading so that you know you should also adopt some specific techniques — such as making notes from your reading — to aid your concentration.If you play the role of a 12 receiver of information, simply concentrating on absorbing everything you read, you will 13 that your mind is overloaded, confused by the material.

And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place - - - just the overall number of hours it occurs. Several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat , have a heart attack or event die..It is suggested, that authorities should rethink how they define physical activity to highlight the dangers of sitting. While health officials have issued guidelines recommending minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven't suggested ,people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position: ."After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send " 'harmful signals," Ekblom-Bak, health expert, said. She explained that genes regulating(调节)the amount of glucose(葡萄糖) and fat in the body start to shut down.Even for people who exercise spending long periods of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong a physical activity expert, said people who exercise every day - but still spend a lot of time sitting - might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day, rather than at a tune.Other Researchers a[so found people who sat more had a higher death risk,independently of whether or not they exercised. "We don't have enough evidence yet to sayhow much sitting is bad," said Peter Katzmarzyk, who led the study. More research isneeded to figure out just how much sitting is dangerous? and what might be possible tooffset(抵消) those effects."People should keep exercising because that has a lot of benefits," Ekblom-Bak said."But when they're in the office, it seems the more you can get up and interrupt thissedentary behavior, the better."28. What is the best title of the text?A. Regular Exercise Key to Health.B. How to Avoid Sitting Too Much.C. Long Sitting Could Be Deadly.D. How to Exercise while Working.29. How does sitting too much affect the human body?A. It causes physical pains.B. It increases body fat.C. It cuts down glucose.D. It disturbs genetic functions.30. What can we learn from the text?A. The more exercise, the better.B. Regular exercise offsets long sitting.C. Working in offices does harm to health.D. There's no defined time limit to sitting.31. The underlined word "sedentary" in the last sentence is closest in .meaning to "_".A. working . . .B. sitting .C. exercisingD. remainingDMalawi is one of the poorest nations in Africa with millions of people living under the poverty line, Unemployment rates are high. And those who have jobs have low salaries. Yet many Malawians are using more than half of their monthly incomes on mobile phone usage.This makes Malawi one of the most-expensive countries in the world to use cell phones.In Malawi you will see huge billboards advertising mobile phone. Here in the capital Lilongwe, the. branding and marketing also can be seen on umbrellas used by street venders,T-shirts. But mobile services are anything but low price in this country. In fact, a report by the international Telecommunications Union, ITU, says on average, Malawians use more than twelve dollars a month on cell phones. This is more than half of what an ordinary Malawian earns. In neighboring Mozambique, consumers spend just. over a quarter of their income on mobile phone usage. But in Kenya and South Africa, the figure is significantly lower amounting to less than five. percent of average monthly earnings. The government might be forced to intervene to bring down the cost of using a mobile phone.But it is not just the cost of mobile services that is an issue in Malawi. Many consumers also want the providers to give them value for their money by improving the quality of service they get.There are times that the network in very bad. Even the Internet Is very low . So it's so frustrating sometimes you want to make a call, it's a quick one and then you can't get through ."A customer said. "So these are some of the things that l have seen that maybe they need to change"But In order for the services to improve, the government says It needs to upgrade existing infrastructure, especially in rural areas. The authorities admit this could take up t0 five years.32. What can we team from the first paragraph?A. Malawi is the poorest country.B. Malawians are living a busy lifeC. Cell phones are popular in MalawiD. The cost of mobile services is high.33. Different countries are mentioned in the second paragraph to____.A. introduce some means of advertingB. compare the costs of using cell phonesC. prove the income of Malawians is lowD. show what the government has done34. Besides the price, what do Malawians complain about using, mobile phones?A. The quality of service is bad.B. They can not make quick calls.C. The Internet is not accessible.D. Their money is not valuable.35. What might be the government's attitude towards the issue?A. IndifferentB. Optimistic . C Positive. D, Unconfident第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分l0分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)In the old days, fresh food had to be eaten in the city no more than one or two days after it was left the farm. If (25) _________ (keep) longer, it would spoil. One of the reasons behind it is (26) _______ the air contains many living things that can harm our food. Some things, such as insects can be seen by us. (27) _______, like bacteria, can be seen only with a microscope.All living things need water and man discovered that (28) _______ the water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food (29) _______ (go) bad is prevented. In other words, we can protect some of our food by drying it; besides, living things can grow only at certain temperatures, so we can also protect our food by heating or cooling it.A New York man had (30) _______ idea. He filled a wooden railroad car with tons of butter. The car was hooked to a train and pulled from New York to Boston.How could this be done? The butter (31) _______ (pack) in ice and twice during the trip, more ice was added. This was the first refrigerator cars and mechanical refrigerator at homes and stores and other places (32) _______ need them.(B)Mt. Qomolangma was first conquered in 1953, (33) __________ Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing, his guide, became the first climbers to reach the top. More than 750 times have people tried to conquer the mountain, but not all successful, yet every climber knows the danger. This doesn’t stop teams of climbers (34) __________ (arrive) at the base camp every year with the courage of reaching thetop.Two such climbers and two unlucky ones are Scott Fischer and Rob Hall. Fischer, an American guide with much experience, was lost in a terrible storm which (35) __________ (sweep) across the mountain.A rescue team found him and his friend, but didn’t manage to bring Fischer to safety in the terrible conditions because he was dying. New Zealander Rob Hall, another experienced climber and guide, was lost near the top. These two men had something (36) ______common: they were both guides and always took a “tour” of(37)________(experienced) climbers up the mountain.There is a lot that can go wrong in an action to reach the top of Mt. Qomolangma; a sudden change in weather conditions or a wrong turning. Planes will only be sent to rescue if they have been paid for in advance. (38)______ ______ ______ all these, there is a business in leading guided tours to the top. Wealthy mountain climbers can now pay 64000 or more to succeed.Many people wonder (39) _________ guides can hope to look after their inexperienced climbers when they fail to keep themselves alive. Steve Bell, also a guide who has recently led a team to Mt. Qomolangma, believed that they are safer than others, because the guide can ask a weak climber to turn back at any point if he feels that the climber is a danger to the team.(40)__________ these expeditions are safe or not, many climbers feel they have turned Mt. Qomolangma into a business, like a park for the very rich people. One truth, however, will always remain: it doesn't matter how much money you have, if you make a mistake on Mt. Qomolangma, the possible result will be death.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Let's admit it: half of the fun of watching football matches is the eye candy. While many fans enjoy the sport itself, lots are____41____ by the charming players. So which is your favorite type? Appearance countsA number of players pay great attention to personal style. Cool haircuts always ____42____ well with the handsome faces on the field.For instance, you can’t make a “hottest players”list without mentioning Crisiano Ronaldo. Portugal’s 30-year-old captain is the most expensive soccer player in history, and it looks like he’s____43____ every cent—his perfect figure and athletic abilities are priceless.Neymar, 23, is another star in this ____44____. There is no doubt that he is quite an attractive young man, with his sharp features and dream eyes. And hopes are always high that he will lead his team to glory.Winning personalitySome player may not have striking faces, but their ____45____ personalities make them attractive.Take 28-year-old Lionel Messi for example. Although the Argentine superstar has had a ____46____ disappointing year on the ____47____, you can’t change the fact that he’s a witty guy with a strong personality.Uniqueness is attractiveBut soccer isn’t only a beauty contest. Players who don’t have ____48____ handsome faces certainly have an equal chance to____49____, as long as they offer fans something to remember.In an interview with The Independent newspaper, Mario Balotelli called himself “the coolest, funniest and best-looking player in the Italy team.” He certainly has a unique look, which is ____50____ by his ever-changing, funny hairstyle.

All of the ghosts, and zombies (僵尸) have disappeared for another year.

Not everyone, however, is____53____ about the increasing popularity of Halloween in our city.In actual fact, Halloween is a holiday that makes ____54____ people unhappy, even in countries where it is widely popular. It is not surprising that stories of the dead rising and walking among us might offend certain religious and cultural ____55____ of any country.____56____, costumes are often designed to be scary, disturbing and even disgusting. This particular feature of Halloween is exactly what ____57____some elderly passengers on the metro a few nights ago.A group of local university students, who were heading for a Halloween party, had dressed up like zombies. Their frightening appearanceshocked the elderly passengers, causing them to become nervous.Micro-bloggers later discussed the ____58____ online, expressing ____59____ opinions. On one hand, some see it as an example of young people showing a lack of ____60____ and respect towards the people around them. On the other hand, others see it as a harmless way to have fun.____61____ on e’s judgment of that particular story, we can all agree that this is an obvious case of both cultural and generational ____62____. China is a country that values respect for dead ancestors. It’s quite likely that some Chinese people see certain Halloween traditions as making fun of the dead. It seems that while China’s younger generation embraces the celebrations of Western countries, the ____63____ generation can easily feel offended and question the wisdom of adopting foreign holidays.China is changing rapidly, and many of those changes are due to outside influences.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)You might never hear of Norah Jones several years ago. Before her album “Come Away With Me” arrived, no one expected the quiet girl to take eight Grammies.On February 10, Jones returned with her long-awaited new album, “Feel like Home,” still without much publicity.For the talented young girl, following up the huge presentation isn’t much pressure: “I want people to like it, but I don’t expect it to do as well as the last one.” That was kind of strange. But I like this record; it’s sweet.Born on March 30, 1979 in New York City, Jones grew up in Dallas, Texas with her mother and thanks her for her musical style. “My mom had this eight-album Billie Holiday set. I picked out one disc I liked and played it over and over again.”Jones began playing the piano at seven and discovered singing while in high school. She majored in jazz piano at the University of North Texas for two years before taking a trip to New York City. The trip started out as just a summer trip away from college, but Jones quickly knew that she would not be leaving for a while.“The music scene is so huge. I found it very exciting. I especially enjoyed hearing amazing songwriters at places like ‘the Living Room.’ I just couldn’t leave.”She started visiting local songwriters and at last started a band with local song writer Jesse Harris and bassist Lee Alexander, who wrote most songs for “Come Away With Me” and “Feels Like Home.”“We’ve always done the music we like. I feel like we are all honest, the band and me, and that’s really all that matters,”Jones says.When asked about the advantage of fame, Jones simply says, “I’ve got a nicer apartment now, but that’s about it.”She pauses a minute and amends that answer, “My old apartments was nice, too, though.I don’t want that owner to get mad.”66.The album “Come Away With Me”____________.A. made Norah Jones known to the public right after its release.B. isn’t well received.C. has won many honors for Norah Jones.D. sells well at home and abroad.67.From Paragraph 3, we know what Norah Jones most cares about is__________.A. that people like her album.B. how she can reduce so much pressure.C. whether the new album can equal the last one.D. that she can improve her skills.68.Norah Jones’ talents in singing were discovered ____________.A. by her mother when she was still young.B. at the age of sevenC. when she was studying in high school.D. after she took a trip to New York City69.The passage suggests Norah Jones ___________.A. cares more about others than herself.B. prefers to live in the old apartment rather than the new one.C. owes her success to her partners—Harris and Alexander.D. finds it pleasant to work with her band and songwriters.

On one side stand those who have begun to see clothes dryers as wasteful consumers of energy (up to 6% of total electricity) and powerful emitters of carbon dioxide (up to a ton of CO2 per household every year). As an alternative, they are turning to clotheslines as part of what Alexander Lee, anenvironmentalist, calls “what-I-can- do environmentalism.”But on the other side are people who oppose air-drying laundry outside on visual grounds. Increasingly, they have persuaded community and homeowners associations (HOAs) across the U.S. to ban outdoor clotheslines, which they say not only look unattractive but also lower surrounding property values. Those actions, in turn, have led to a right-to-dry movement that is pressing for making laws to protect the choice to use clotheslines. Only three states--Florida, Hawaii and Utah--have laws written broadly enough to protect clotheslines. Right-to-dry advocates argue that there should be more.Matt Reck is the kind of eco-conscious guy who feeds his trees with bathwater and recycles condensation drops(冷凝水) from his air conditioners to water plants. His family also uses a clothesline. But Otto Hagen, president of Reck’s HOA in Wake Forest, N.C., notified him that a neighbor had complained about his line. The Recks ignored the warning and still dry their clothes on a rope in the yard. “Many people claim to be environmentally friendly but don’t take matters into their own hands,”says Reck. HOAs Hagen has decided to hold off taking action. “I'm not going to go crazy,” he says. “But if Matt keeps his line and more neighbors complain, I'll have to address it again.”North Carolina lawmakers tried and failed earlier this year to insert language into an energy bill that would expressly prevent HOAs from regulating clotheslines. But the issue remains a touchy one with HOAs and real estate agents. “Most visual restrictions are rooted, to a degree, in the belief that homogenous (统一协调的 ) external appearance are supportive of property value,” says Sara Stubbins, executive director of the Community Association Institute’s North Carolina chapter. In other words, associations worry that housing prices will fall if prospective buyers think their would-be neighbors are too poor to afford dryers.Alexander Lee dismisses the notion that clotheslines devalue property, advocating that the idea “needs to change in light of global warming.”“We all have to do at least something to decrease our carbon footprint,” Alexander Lee says.74. What is NOT mentioned as a disadvantage of using clothes dryers?A. Electricity consumption.B. Air pollution.C. Waste of energy.D. Ugly looking.75. Which of the following is INCORRECT?A. Opposers think air-drying laundry would devalue surrounding property.B. Opposers consider the outdoor clothesline as an eyesore to the scenery.C. Right-to-dry movements led to the pass of written laws toprotect clotheslines.D. Most of states in the US have no written laws to protect clotheslines.76. In the last paragraph Alexander Lee recommendsthat_____________________.A. clotheslines should be banned in the community.B. clotheslines wouldn't lessen the property values.C. the globe would become warmer and warmer.D. we should protect the environment in the community.77. An appropriate title for the passage mightbe____________________.A. Opinions on Environmental Protection.B. Opinions on Air-drying Laundry.C. What-I-Can-Do Environmentalism.D. Restrictions on Clotheslines.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.In August, the Obama administration announced plans for a new college rating system to be implemented by the 2015 school year that would eventually determine federal funding for various institutions. “Colleges that keep their tuition down and are providing high quality education are the ones that are going to see their tax payer funding go up,” President Obama said in a speech outlining the plan at the University of New York at Buffalo. “It is time to stop funding schools that are not producing good results.”The Administration’s objective is to make college more accessible and affordable for students from different background. The president’s Secretary of Education, Duncan hopes to address concerns that American’s college graduation rates have not kept pace with the rest of the world. “A generation ago, we led the world in college graduation rates,”he said, “now we are 12.”To succeed in America, it has become increasingly important to get a college degree. In an earlier meeting, according to Governor Mary Fallin of Oklahoma, only 40% of jobs in America can be done with just a high school degree, and two thirds of those jobs in America can be done with just a high school degree, and two thirds of those jobs pay an annual salary of $25,000 or less. Duncan said the jobs that once gave high school graduates a living wage are “not coming back.”That’s why the rating system, which has yet to be developed, will focus on helping the most needy students who are less likely to graduate from college. The system will look primarily at “three performance buckets: access to needy students, percentage of students getting Pell grants(佩尔奖学金), and affordability,” Duncan said.It will measure these against outcomes like graduation rates, graduate earnings, and number of graduates earning advanced degrees. Duncan declined to offer any specific on how the Administration would consider post-graduate employment in their ratings. “Whether you choose Wall Street or the Peace Crops, do you have the skills you need to do what you want to do?” he said.The plan has been met with mixed reactions from members of the higher education community, some of whom are concerned that colleges could be negatively affected in the ratings for serving the most needy kids, the exact group that rating system is designed to help. To ease concerns that the schools could be affected for the difficult task of educating a larger share of disadvantaged students, Duncan said they would only compare colleges with similar missions, avoiding “apples to oranges” comparisons, and would weigh improvement in performance at various schools as carefully as absolute outcomes. “We’re more interested in where you are going than where you have been,” he said.(Note: answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS)78.It will be very likely that before the 2015 school year, onlycolleges _______________ will get more funds from the federal government.79.Why does the new college rating system intend to focus on helpingthe most needy students?80.What elements will be included in the new rating system?81.Some colleges worry about the negative effects of the rating systembecause _____________.第II卷(共47分)I.

山东省胶州市2015英语阅读理解专练(2)阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中, 选出最佳选项。
Do you eve r wond er why the English have one word for some animals and a different one for their meat? Why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep and mutton. To find out, we have to go back to 1066. In that year, the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne. The French not only changed the government but they also changed the language. French became the language(王位) of the upper classes of society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only these high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result, French words like porc (pork) and beouf (beef) came into the English language. However, po or English farmers raised the animals. So, the English language retained the words pig and cow from the native Anglo-Saxon.The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language. Seventy-five percent of them are still in use to day.Language experts estimate that English speakers who have never studied French already know 15,000 French words! Between one-third and two-thirds of all English words have French origin. Some words such as possible and avenue are the same in French and English; only the pronunciation changes. Other words such as ballet or a la carte retain their French pronunciation in both languages.In French grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender, so adjectives(形容词) take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this, and it came from French. The world bl ond describes someone with light-colored hair. Blond is used for men, and blonde describes women. And they are also nouns.Some French words that entered the English language have taken on completely different meanings.

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑.AIt’s not easy being a teenager(13至19岁青少年)—nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving; consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for him should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s p rivacy. Never read him his mail or listen in on personal conversions.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation(节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money ora part –time job21. The main purpose of the text is to tell parents .A. how to get along with a teenagerB. how to respect a teenagerC. how to help a teenager grow upD. how to understand a teenager22. What does the phrase “clam up” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. become excitedB. refuse to talkC. show respectD. seek help23. The last paragraph is about how to teach a teenager__________.A. to answer the phone quicklyB. to pay for his own telephoneC. to share the phone quicklyD. to use the phone in a sensible way24. What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the text?A. Give him advice only when necessaryB. Not allow him to learn driving or take drugsC. Let him have his own telephoneD. Not talk about personal things with himBOdland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.Thirty years have passed, but Odland can’t get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman’s kind reaction(反应). She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland. “It’s OK. It wasn’t your fault.” When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO(总裁)with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.Odland isn’t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It’s hard to get a dozen CEO’s to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, “I could bu y this place and fire you,” or“I know the owner and I could have you fired.” Those who say such things have shown more about their character(人品)than about their wealth and power.The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson’s Unwritten Rules of Management.“A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person,” Swanson says. “I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someon e cleaning the tables.”25.What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman’s dress?A. He was fired.B. The woman comforted him.C. He was blamed.D. The woman left the restaurant at once.26.Odland leaned one of his life lessons from ____.A. an article in FortuneB. the advice given by the CEOsC. his experience as a waiter.D. an interesting best-selling book27.According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about ____.A. the Waiter RuleB. the Management RulesC. Swanson’s bookD. Fortune 500 companies28.From the text we can learn that ____.A. one should be nicer to important peopleB. CEOs often show their power before othersC. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurantsD. one should respect others no matter who they areCMusic died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high-school curriculum (课程).The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test,it is not the fault of drama and music classes—they are failing because the “academic” classes are not sufficient (充足的).It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete, well-rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through art—there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledge—certainly not a good preparation for the real world.29. Music and drama are not included in the high school curriculum mainly because ________.A. the school committee pays no attention to themB. the school is afraid of losing financial supportC. the students are not interested in both of themD. the state standardized test is more important30. We can learn that music and art can ________.A. motivate students in creativity and expressionB. make students round-shaped people in futureC. provide students with analytical thinkingD. prevent students graduation from high school31. The best title of the passage can be ________.A. Who killed music and drama?B. Can curriculum go without music?C. Why is music so important?D. How to prepare for the real world?DThe scene in the Hollywood movie The Day After Tomorrow, where global warming could soon turn the global climate (气候) into a new ice age, may never occur, according to new research.The next ice age could be 15,000 years away, say European scientists who last month announced a continuous record of 740,000 years of climate data (数据) obtained from the Antarctic ice. Scientists from 10 nations have now almost completely drilled through a 3,000-meter depth of ice high in the Antarctic mainland. They figure out that the area where summer temperatures can fall to –40℃, has at least 900,000 years of snowfalls, kept as neatly as the growth rings of a tree. And the ice and air caught in each layer(层) have begun to answer questions about the climates in the past.The results show that there have been eight ice ages in the past 740, 000 years and eight warmer periods. And by comparing the pattern of global conditions today with those of the past, the researchers reported in Nature that the present warm period could last another 15, 000 years. Research suggests that there is a very close connection between greenhouse gas levels and global average temperatures. It also shows that carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) levels are the highest for at least 440,000 years."If people say to you: the greenhouse effect is a good thing because we would go into an ice age otherwise, our data say no, a new ice age is not hanging over our heads,” said Eric Wolff from the British Antarctic Survey. "Now we have eight examples of how the climate goes in and out of ice ages… and you can learn what the rules are that go into the climate models that tell us about the future."Scientists found that whenever temperatures rose in the frozen record, so did carbon dioxide level." In 440,000 years we have never seen greenhouse gas get as thick as it is today," said Dr Wolff.32. In drilling through the ice in Antarctica, scientists have found that______.A. the lowest temperature there is –40℃B. snowfalls are kept in certain patternsC. the ice has existed for 15,000 yearsD. the depth of ice is 3,000 meters33. The information of the global climate conditions in the past can be obtained through______.A. separating carbon dioxide from the airB. examining the growth rings of treesC. studying the ice and air caught in each layerD. comparing temperatures in different areas34. We can infer from Eric Wolff's words that_______.A. there is something wrong with the dataB. greenhouse effect is always a bad thingC. greenhouse gas will get thick in the futureD. a new ice age will not come in the near future35. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Research over the Antarctic area.B. Hollywood movies and the global climate.C. Report on the eight ice ages in the past.D. Warm period to last about 15, 000 years.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
