Boyle stepped onto the stage of Britain's Got Talent and announced she was unemployed,had never been married and “never been kissed,actual ly”,few in the audience would have wondered why.This Ms Boyle,looking unfashionable,from a villagein Scotland,shocked the three judges and the audience with the song I dreamed a dream from the musical Les Miserables on a show of Britain's Got Talent,one of the hottest reality shows in Britain.She couldn't hide the awkwardness when walking to the center of the stage in a housedress,and everyone—including the judges—seemed laughing at her when she said she wanted to be as successful as Elaine Paige.As soon as she began singing,however,everyone in the auditorium fell silent,then rose within seconds to applaud her incredible voice as the celebrity judges sat open-mouthed,and remained standing to the end.After her performance,one of the judges Piers Morgan said,“Without doubt that was the biggest surprise I've had in three years of this show.When you stood there everyone was laughing at you.No one is laughing now.That was amazing.”Actress Amanda Holden followed,“I'm so thrilled because I know that we everybody were against you.I honestly think that we were all being very cynical (愤世嫉俗的)and I think that's the biggest wake up call ever.”Susan obviously won over the hearts of millions around the world with sensation spreading across the Atlantic.Hollywood actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore—who between them have nearly 1.5 million followers—speak highly of her.Kutcher posted a link to the video clip (片段).The Scottish talent made her live American debut via satellite connection on CBS's The Early Show,doing an interview and singing live from her room.And she already accepted an invitation from talk show hostess Oprah Winfrey.Now Boyle has become one of the world's hottest celebrities.The video clip of her performance has been viewed more than 50 million times on Youtube,becoming a hit on the Internet.36.We learn from the passage that Susan Boyle ______.A.rose from a low social classB.had an unhappy marriageC.lived with a dog alone on a farmD.won the championship in the Britain's Got Talent show37.At the beginning of the show,almost everybody ______.A.looked forward to her wonderful performanceB.was attracted by her beautiful dressC.looked down upon herD.placed great hope on her38.We can infer that ______ contributed most to her global popularity.A.the judgesB.the InternetC.the newspaperD.the advertisement39.The 4th paragraph is intended to tell us ______.A.how Susan Boyle achieved her successB.the comment made by American actor Ashton KutcherC.Susan Boyle's influence in the USAD.Oprah Winfrey's invitation to Susan BoyleBThe class of eighth grade at a Los Angeles middle school tap their rulers and nod their head to the rhythm of the rap video shown on a screen.Their algebra teacher,LaMar Queen,uses rhyme to help them memorize seemingly difficult items to improve their grades.Queen,26,is now known at Los Angeles Academy Middle School as the rap teacher,but his fame has spread beyond the 2,200 student school in this neighborhood.He's won a national award and shown teachers and parents how to use ra p to teach children.“Math is a bad word for many students,but if we put it in a form that kids enjoy,they'll learn,” Queen said.“Rap is what the kids respond to.They don't have a problem memorizing the songs at all.”Queen's math rap came about by chance.Two months after starting at LA Academy,he was frustrated when kids said his class was boring.They thought that he looked like the singer KanyeWest,so they challenged him to rap.Queen has been rapping since the seventh grade.With his students' challenge on his mind,he pushed aside work on his lesson plans and wrote a rap song Slope Intercept.Word of his rapping soon reached the school's main office.Principal Maria Borges went to look into it,and came out smiling.“It interests the kids,” she said.“Kids see m to know all the rap songs,and it's helpful for them to remember math rules.” “Some kids who aren't even in Mr Queen's class go around singing his songs,” said Kejon Closure,13,who went from a Caverage to an A.In the raps,Queen defines a math concept and works through sample problems step by step.He keeps a relaxed manner when singing with his students.Queen also tries to inspire them.His lyrics tell students “to get As on your papers”,and “to be respectful and listen to your parents”.Sometimes the students appear in the videos as a reward for good grades and behavior.40.According to the passage,LaMar Queen has been ______ since he began to teach students at Los Angeles Academy.A.a popular teacherB.a music teacherC.a mathematics teacherD.a famous singer41.LaMar Queen has won a national award because ______.A.he is good at composing rap songsB.his new musical production was shown on TVC.he created a unique teaching method in mathD.he gave students a lot of confidence42.We can infer from the last paragraph but one that ______.A.Queen's teaching method has been well received by both the principal and the students B.Queen makes math easy and tries to inspire his students in the rapC.Queen is willing to help the students who are not good at mathD.Principal Maria Borges doesn't think it a good way to teach math by rapping43.This passage may be taken from China Daily in the column of ______.A.societyB.educationC.entertainmentD.biographyCAlone Together, an amazing description of our changing relationship with technology,is written by Sherry Turkle,an MIT professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology.In the book's first half,devoted to robots,Turkle gives out toys like the Tamagotchi,Furby,and Zhu Zhu robotic hamster(仓鼠),then explores children's deep attachments to the creatures and assessments of whether they are alive.Such quasi pets set the psychological stage for what Turkle is really worried about:robot lovers.One woman even says that if a robot acted like it cared,she'd trade in her boyfriend.The book's second half explores the “network”—instant messages,social networks,confessional websites,and the like—and how it reshapes the self.Fifteenyearolds send and receive close to 6,000 messages a month.“They communicate all day but a re not sure if they have connected.They develop friendships on social networking sites and then wonder if they are among friends.” In texting,a typical question is“Where are you?”,not an open ended one like “How are you?” Just as robots produce confusion about whether one is alone or with another,Turkle sighs,“We_are_connected_to_each_other,but_strangely_more_alone.”“What can't be denied (否认)is that technology,with all its faults,makes life a lot easier.It allows us to get in touch with more people in less time;it can make conversation simple — no small talk required.But are any of those feelings equal to the kind we feel when engaged in a real,face to face setting? Online,you can ignore others' feelings.In a text message,you can avoid eyecontact.A number of studies have found that this generation of teens is becoming unconcerned.That doesn't spell disaster,but it does mean we might want to start thinking about the way we want to live.We've gone through terribly rapid change,and some of these things just need a little sorting out.”Turkle says.This book is not to be missed and worthy of every dollar you spend.44.In her book,Turkle worries that ______.A.the robotic creatures are not aliveB.all women would fall in love with robotsC.children are addicted to keeping animal petsD.more people are lost in the world of technology45.What can be implied from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?A.Internet sets us apart from each other.B.Social network is not the real world.C.Internet brings us closer to each other.D.Messages are used a lot in people's daily life.46.If a child keeps using messages a lot,he or she may ______.A.get engaged in small talksB.care little for others' feelingsC.get stuck in many disastersD.well sort out personal relationship47.The purpose of writing this passage is to ______.A.recommend a good book to readersB.urge people to keep away from technologyC.analyze the dangers of keeping robots as loversD.explore the relationship between human and technologyDAccording to Dale Carnegie,author of the book How to Win Friends and Influence People,85% of success in the job is because of one's ability to communicate with people.Only 15% of success is because of one's technical knowledge.Therefore,the ability to communicate with people is of great importance.The following are five tips that will help you to succeed in communicating with others.Have selfworthSelfworth is similar to selfconfidence.The better you feel about yourself,the more confident you're going to be.With selfworth,you can get what you want out of every conversation.Without selfworth,you'll be stuck in small talk.Get interested in other peoplePeople have two stations which other people can listen to,WIFM(what's in it for me)and WIFO(what's in it for others).WIFM is boring for people to listen to.Most people are interested in themselves.People want to be flattered(恭维),and you can do this by letting the other person talk about himself or herself,by changing the channel to WIFO.Listen at least twice as much as you talkYou have two ears and one mouth for a reason.Therefore,you should listen twice as much as you speak.To show that you're listening effectively,you must ask followup questions.Diversify_yourselfLearn about sports,dancing,even television shows,etc.This gives you subjects to talk about,as well as chances to meet new people.In cases such as dancing,where you meet people as you perform the activity,you're actually killing two birds with one stone.Follow the stepladder to successYou have to first be able to work together with fellow employees,and lowerlevel managers,before you can learn to deal with the CEO.Again,just like in boxing,you won't be guaranteed(保证)success,but you'll give yourself your best shot.48.The author uses Dale Carnegie's words in the first paragraph to ______.A.examine his ideaB.introduce a topicC.give an exampleD.explain an opinion49.If you want to have selfworth,you must ______.A.talk more about yourselfB.focus on your own needsC.know your own valueD.pay more attention to your deeds50.The underlined part“Diversify yourself”probably means ______.A.becoming more activeB.becoming more optimisticC.forming more habitsD.developing more hobbies51.The purpose of this text is to help readers ______.A.become confidentB.express themselves clearlyC.communicate effectivelyD.live a colorful lifeEThe village of Foston,North Yorkshire,UK,now has a post office thanks to pupils at the village primary school.People in the village were saddened to see their local branch(分局)closed 12 years ago.But now the village primary school has opened one in a converted(改造过的)outdoor toilet,a small brick building,with all the pupils at the school trained to help.Teaching assistant Laura Glass,29,said,“The last one closed in 1998 and the neares t one is five miles away,meaning it was very tricky as the village has a lot of elderly people,and we suggested that the old toilet be used.”“We got a lot of help from the government and the villagers in converting it.”We then realized that by getting pupils to run it we could help teach them important skills at the same time.“The children will be properly supervised(察看并指导).They love it and it gives them key skills,and the villagers love it too because it is such a unique service.”The post office opens daily during the pupils' schooldays,for 15 minutes during their lunch break,and for another 15 minutes after lessons at 3 pm.Villager Laura Deighton's fiveyearold daughter Grace goes to the school and has been serving customers at the unusual branch.Laura,31,said,“Grace thinks it's wonderful and great fun,and she and all the kids learn really useful social skills.”“It is also a great benefit to the community.They've got everything you could possibly need,and the kids are excellent.They are so friendly a nd helpful.”52.The underlined word“tricky”in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.A.enjoyableB.difficultC.excitingD.different53.Laura Deighton's attitude towards the service provided by the pupils can be described as ______.A.anxiousB.surprisedC.satisfiedD.doubtful54.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A.The post office opens every day.B.Only selected pupils can work in the post office.C.The post office is inside the primary school.D.Pupils love to help in the post office.55.The best title for the text would be ______.A.Outdoor Toilet Becomes New Post OfficeB.Kids Serve Customers During Lunch BreakC.Another Post Office Branch ReopenedD.Primary School Opens Village Post OfficeⅣ.附加题:任务型读写(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

The first answer is not systematic.It is personal.Everyone has something valuable to share.We should start each day by consciously asking ourselves,“What can I do today to appreciate the gifts that others offer me?” Each of us has the responsibility to make this a habit.But those in positions of responsibility have a special opportunity to expand inclusion and build societies that truly need everyone.Leaders need to recognize that a compassionate(有同情心的) society must create a wealth of opportunities for meaningful work that everyone can do.They should also realize that a compassionate society must protect the weak while ensuring that these policies do not put people in pain and dependence.Building such a society is not an easy task.Many are confused and frightened to see anger and depression sweeping like wildfire across societies that enjoy historic safety and prosperity.But people’s refusal to be content with physica l and material security actually shows something beautiful:a universal human hunger to be needed.Let us work together to build a society that feeds this hunger.【解题导语】快乐的源泉是什么?不是你有多富裕,而在于你是否被这个社会所需要,是否能为社会做贡献。

AI used to believe courtesy (礼貌) was a thing of the past. Very seldom have I seen a courteous human being in the age of Internet. Recently, I had to change my mind when I came face to face with just such a human being.I went to a coffee place, with two of my grown­up daughters.The place was crowded and we had to climb a steep flight of stairsin order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks,we went down the stairs. Just as I was in the middle of myclimbing down, a gentleman entered the main entrance of the restaurant which was right in front of the staircase. As the stairs were steep and narrow, I was sure that I would be pushed roughly by the man who would want to go up in a hurry. My daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly and hoping I would reach them before the stranger started up the stairs.Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open.I looked back thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt bad because we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up.We applauded his chivalry (谦恭有礼) for both, waiting for us to come down before going up himself and also holding the main entrance door open for us to go out. Such well­mannered people are hard to find in our advanced but aggressive society. Until today, I still remember this gentleman and pray more human beings would be like him. 语篇解读:本文是记叙文。

This lady asked me for the money,and I had nothing to give her.”Now that I'm an adult,you'll never catch me with less than 200 in my wallet.I want to be prepared in case I need it.I've always admired people who are over­prepared.In college,I had a classmate named Norman.One day he was giving a presentation on an overhead projector and in the middle of his talk,the light bulb on the projector blew out.We would have to wait ten minutes until someone found a new projector.“It's Okay.” he announced.“There's n othing to worry about.”We watched him walk over to his bag and pull something out.He had brought along a spare bulb for the overhead projector.Who could even think of that?I often told my students,“When you go into the wilderness,the only thing you can d epend on is what you take with you.” And essentially,the wilderness is anywhere but your home or office.So take money.Pack a light bulb.Be prepared.【语篇解读】本文属于记叙文阅读,作者通过讲述两个小故事告诉我们凡事都要做好准备。

AHandball is a hugely popular sport in Europe and Asia,and it is one of the fastest and most exciting sports in the world.It combines basketball and soccer with the attracting saves of water polo.Handball is played on an indoor court (the size of two basketball courts) and there are goals at each end.There are twelve players on each team,two goalkeepers and ten field players,but there is a maximum of one goalkeeper and six field players from each team allowed on the court at any one time.The idea is simple:score more goals than the other team.The ball is made of leather or a synthetic material and it must be round.The surface must not be shiny or slippery.The size and weight of the ball varies for male and female teams,and adult and junior team.Handball has the same free ranging play as basketball,with all players except the goalkeeper constantly moving from attack to defence.The goalkeeper uses hands,feet,head and body to keep out the other team’s shots.The origins of handball are unclear.Many people believe that it developed as a training game for soccer,to be played in the off season,or when it was snowing.Now,in countries where handball is popular,players can earn large sums of money,and indoor stadiums seating over ten thousand people sell out regularly.Handball has been played at the Olympics since 1972.1.The passage states that handball was most probably developed .A.as a replacement for basketballB.by supporters of water poloC.as a training gameD.for the 1972 Olympics提示:细节理解题。

北师大版必修五Unit 13 People单元测试Ⅰ阅读理解AI am a long distance runner. When I was thirty one, I was in aserious car accident. The doctor told me that they would try to getme to walk “normally”but I would never run again—terriblenews for someone who views running as the oxygen she breathes.The doctors were right. For the next nine and a half years, I wasunable to run more than twentyfive feet.In 2006,I began selftraining to take part in a 60mile walk. Three months into preparing, I realized that walking 4-5 hours a day was too long. If only I could jog part of it—that would cost me less time. I started jogging without my knees aching. Slowly, I increased the distance. The doctors were proved wrong—it only took nine and a half years to do so.While practicing, I suffered a loss—a dear friend suddenly died. His work had been to help women to accept themselves and reach their fullest potential. He believed that people should let nothing hold them back from achieving their goals. Soon after his death, a crazy thought entered my mind:what if I could run the LA Marathon?I knew that if I didn’t train to my fullest,the doctors would win. So I trained seven days a week. And I succeeded in crossing the finish lines of many marathons all over the United States to the astonishment of my doctors. They never believed I would achieve that.The aches and pains I experience while training and racing are nothing compared to the suffering people whom I respect must accept.【解题导语】作者酷爱长跑,一场事故几乎使她丧失了跑步的能力,在朋友的鼓励下,经过自己的努力,作者又出现在长跑的运动场上。

AThe Internet brings us many advantages.With the Internet,people can send and receive e-mails.On the Internet,people can skim over ing the Telnet,the user anywhere on the Internet can log into any other machine on which he has an account.It is possible to use the FTP program to copy files from one machine on the Internet to another.But the Internet also brings us troubles.Internet use seems to cause a fall in psychological(心理的) health,according to the research at Carnegie Mellon University.Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less often,the two-year study showed.And it wasn’t that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet,but that using the Net actually seemed to cause the bad feelings.Researchers are puzzled over the results,which were completely opposite to what they had expected.They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television,since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.The fact that Internet use reduces time used for family and friends may be the reason for the drop in health,researchers said.Faceless,bodiless “virtual” communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversations,and the relationships formed through it may not be so deep.Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.“But it’s important to remember this is not about the technology;it’s about how it is used,” said one of the researchers.“It really points to the need for considering social factors(因素) when you design new inventions.”21.The writer mainly wants to tell us that .A.the Internet can bring people many advantagesB.the Internet use may cause psychological problemsC.the Internet users are not satisfied with their livesD.we shouldn’t use the Internet22.Why are the researchers puzzled over the results?A.Because the results were completely different from what they had thought.B.Because the Net proved socially healthier than television.C.Because the Internet users were all healthier.D.Because the Internet users experienced less depression and loneliness.23.What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?A.What matters is not the technology but how it is used.B.This passage is not about the technology but about how it is used.C.We should remember to learn about the technology.D.We should remember to learn how to use computers.BThe issue of privacy versus openness is a paradox, particularly when it comes to the American home. “Lots” or “yards” (gardens) can be large and many are not enclosed by walls, fences or hedges so popular in other cultures. Similarly, “window treatments” frame the window, but th e use of European-style net curtains to screen ont nosy neighbors is rare. In the same style, first-time visitors to an American home may be proudly given the full tour; even walk-in closets and en suite bathrooms are not considered off limits. They may also be encouraged to help themselves to a soda from the fridge. All this gives an impression of openness.Yet Americans do value their personal space and privacy. A Brazilian expatriate(侨民) who dropped in on her usually friendly Connecticut neighbors unannounced got the clear impression that she should have called first. Similarly while a typical suburban home features large, shared areas, such as an open-plan kitchen and family room or “den”,ample private space is also allowed in the floor plan. A visit to a family home in the evening wouht likely find the family members dispersed, each independently watching TV, on the phone, surfing the Internet, or otherwise recharging_batteries in the privacy of their own bedroom.American individualism, expansiveness, and abundance are expressed in lifestyle. Despite the fact that the average household size has declined over the past thirty years from 3.1 people to 2.6 people per household, the average size of a new family home increased during the same period from 1,500 to 2,200 square feet.A common observation is just how outsized everything is. The beds are king­sized, the TVs have giant screens, the burgers are “whoppers (特大的东西)” , and appliances are “industrial” size. The largest popcorn or soda at the movies can b e “supersized”.

Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forthfrom one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!28.A good title for this passage is ________.A.Sleep B.DreamsC.Good Health D.Work and Rest29.The word drowsy in the last paragraph means ________.A.sick B.asleepC.stand up D.a little sleepy30.During REM,________.A.your eyes move quickly B.you dreamC.you are restless D.both A and B31.The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ________.A.approximately six hoursB.around ten hoursC.about eight hoursD.not described hereDA camera, a glove, a hand tool, even a toothbrush ... they are all up there, above the clouds, going around and around the Earth. There are also thousands of pieces of metal and plastic. Some of them are only about the size of a fingernail. Many are much larger. Scientists consider all these objects to be space_junk,_and they are a problem.Since people first launched rockets into space in the 1950s, we have been leaving behind all sorts of things. Much of the space junk is made up of little pieces of things that were once bigger objects, until they struck each other and broke apart. Sometimeslarger pieces survive the extreme heat through the atmosphere and hit the ground or the ocean at great speeds.But space junk falling on housetops is not the biggest worry. Scientists are concerned about the Kessler syndrome. It is named after the American scientist who first thought of the idea in 1978. Imagine what happens when an empty rocket strikes another while orbiting the Earth. Two big things become many smaller things, They then hit other things. The pieces get smaller and smaller until they form a cloud of junk that blocks the path of future space vehicles.Marco Castronuovo, an Italian Space Agency researcher, suggested launching a satellite into space that would get very close to some of the larger pieces of space junk. The satellite would connect a small rocket to the useless object. When the rocket explodes, it pushes the junk into a lower and slower orbit, nearer the Earth. After a time, the junk burns up in the atmosphere.Scientists have been concerned about space junk for many years. Right now, the costs of the clean-up have been too great. Mr. Castronuovo says his system could be put in place for a much more reasonable amount of money.32.What doe s the underlined part “space junk” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.It refers to small pieces of things that were once bigger objects.B.It refers to objects that survived the extreme heat through the atmosphere.C.It refers to clouds that are made up of small objects in space.D.It refers to all kinds of objects that have been left behind in space.33.What is mainly talked about in the passage?A.Smaller objects come together to form clouds of space junk.B.Human beings are responsible for space junk.C.Space junk is a big problem human beings have to find ways to solve.D.An Italian researcher has found a good way to remove space junk.34.What is the author's attitude towards Marco Castronuovo's method of cleaning up space junk?A.Doubtful.
