ADear Alcohol,You've been around forever. I can remember all the pain you've caused for me.Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He's addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night.Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. "I'm so embarrassed," they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit . "I'm sorry," they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. "This won't happen again," they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it's all your fault.I wish you'd walk out of my life forever. I don't want anything to do with you. Look at all the painyou've caused. Sure, you've made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love. Stop hurting me, please.Sincerely,Anonymous24. What is the author's purpose in writing to alcohol?A. To introduce Mr. Alcohol to the readers.B. To describe the harm alcohol did to his family.C.

It made him crash into two other cars and took his life.B. It made him drink too much and he had to get his stomach pumped.C. It made him kill two other people when driving.D.

The underlined phrase "were intrigued by" is closest in meaning to ______.A. were familiar withB. were int1`BAlmost five years ago, I announced to my loved ones I was to become a Mrs. Naturally. I then began to wonder about the perfect wedding dress, hoping that it would fit me. Even at the age of 23, I had gone through my share of dieting.I am an emotional eater and I knew that at 5 feet 5 inches tall and 180 pounds, I wasn’t at my healthiest. My mother had been doing Weight Watchers for some time and was rapidly seeing results without starving herself. She shared her books with me and explained the program: estimate your daily target based on your weight and other factors, write down everything you eat and move! The longer I stuck to it the more I noticed a difference in the way I enjoyed food. I soon began to like eating fruits and vegetables for snacks instead of chocolate bars and chips. My mother and I went on walks together and kept each other in check. Unsurprisingly, I lost twenty pounds soon and looked amazing in my wedding dress.I buy healthy foods, replace ice cream and faithfully keep a food journal. I exercised and take evening walks. Because I have a hard time reaching for something healthy by myself, I bought a Weight Watchers cookbook and use it to prepare our meals. I use small plates and bowls to trick myself into believing there is more food than the serving size.It’s been hard to discipline myself not to eat badly. But when I find myself having a desire for strawberries instead of chocolate, I know it’s all worthwhile.21．The author successfully lost twenty pounds ____________．A．by walking and eating less every day B．by only eating fruits and vegetablesC．under her doctor’s direction D．with the help of her mother22．What is the third paragraph mainly about?A．How to prepare healthy food．B．The ways of eating less food．C．The role exercise plays in keeping fit．D．What the author does to keep healthy．23．We know from the last paragraph that the author ____________．A．likes strawberries mostB．has formed healthy eating habitsC．can’t resist chocolateD．finds keeping a healthy diet easyCJust three days after hitting the screen across China, the Chinese animation (动画) film “Monkey King: Hero is Back” aroused enthusiasm among audience and ticket sales have exceeded（超过）100 million yuan ($16.11 million).Web celebrities and many fans even posted topics about the film on China’s Twitter-like Weibo, at which heated discussion are sparked.“Monkey King: Hero is Back” is based on the household legend of the Monkey King, but tell s a not-so familiar story. However, it’s still a Chinese style heroic legend and an exciting adventure against evil and darkness in troubled times, according to Lu Wei, the producer.“Monkey King is China’s super hero. It is so popular among Chinese audien ce because they long for and cherish our own superhero,” said Tian Xiaopeng, the director.Some media also put on a lot of comments from foreigners.“He’s never dead, he’s just fallen asleep. We all need a hero to look up to, to give us hope and courage when it is needed. We grew up listening to his tales, his great adventures and heroic deeds. What makes a true hero is not just helping people when one has the power, but having the courage to stand up against the evil even without power. And this is what the film is about. When the hero loses his power and armor, when he is nothing more than an ordinary monkey, what would he do to protect the one he loves? This is also about a group of Chinese dream chasers trying to keep the beacon of hope lit even though being in the most unfavorable situations” from Tumblr.“Though the film was injected with a little bit of Hollywood, its bold and creative story has attracted several Chinese cinema aficionados.” from Yibada.One netizen posted after watching the film: “The film sets a new high-bar for the domestic animation film, when I walked out of the theater, I was crying.”12. According to the director’s opinion, the film is so popular among Chinese audience because_______.A. Chinese audience long for and cherish his own superheroB. the film is based on the household legend of the Monkey KingC. the Chinese need a hero to look up to, to give them hope and courageD. the film was injected with a little bit of Hollywood13. According to the passage, it can be inferred that _________.A. the film is still a Chinese style heroic legendB. the film is well-receivedC. the film tells us the fact that what makes a true hero is to help people when one has the powerD. the film only aroused enthusiasm among Chinese audience14. After watching the film, the netizen mentioned in the last paragraph was _________.A. very sadB. deeply moved C .very crazy D. deeply gloomy15. Why does the writer mention Weibo, Tumblr and Yibada? Because he wants to __________.A. persuade more readers to visit themB. tell readers some information about themC. make them better known to readersD. provide some evidence for readersDDo you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit?If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who f elt the elephant’s trunk said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal’s tusk(长牙). The fourth, who had hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arm around one of the elephant’s legs.The sixth, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own exper ience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm（不冷不热的）water in the third. Now put your left hand in the ice water. Put your right hand in the hot water. After thirty seconds, put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it’s hot !24. What makes people think about simple facts differently ?A. The fact that simple facts differ from one anotherB.The fact that people have different experience in the same simple factC. The fact that people often disagree with one anotherD. The fact that it’s hard to make up one’s mind about simple facts25. The writer’s advice is _______________.A. We should never think about simple factsB. We should never judge something with a one-sided viewC. We should not agree about simple factsD. We must learn from the six blind men26. What do you think of the six blind man?A. They are the examples of those who look on things only from one side.B. They are skilled at exploring different things.C. They are all experts in studying elephant.D. They are the examples of those who always refuse to trust friends.27. After reading the last paragraph, we may think of __________.A. Newton’s lawB. Galileo’s theory of fal ling objectsC. Einstein’s theory of relativityD. Marx’s Theory On Capital (资本)第二节（七选五共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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AKatie was in big trouble．She was such a sweet kid; a third - grade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katie's she was never ever a discipline（纪律）problem．I just couldn't imagine why she had made her parents so angry．It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom．Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch．They assumed a sit — down with Katie would solve the problem，but failed．So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation。
So the next day, I asked Katie to my office．"Why are you charging lunches, Katie？What happened to your homemade lunch?” I asked．"I lose it," she responded．I leaned back in my chair and said, "I don’t believe you, Katie．” She didn’t care．"Is someone stealing your lunch，Katie？" I took a new track．”No．I just lose it，” she said．Well，there was nothing else I could do．The problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boywho was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table．He always looked sad．I thought I would go and sit with him for a while．As I walked towards him，I noticed the lunch bag on the table．The name on the bag said ” Katie " ．Now I understood and I talked to Katie．It seemed that the new boy never brought a lunch，and he wouldn’t go to the lunch line for a free lunch．He had told Katie his secret and asked her not to tell anyone that his parents wanted him to get a free lunch at school．Katie asked me not to tell her parents，but I drove to her house that evening after I was sure that she was in bed．I had never seen parents so proud of their child．Katie didn't care that her parents and teacher were disappointed in her．But she cared about a little boy who was hungry and scared．Katie still buys lunch every day at school．And every day, as she heads out of the door，her mom hands her a delicious homemade lunch．46．What did the author think of Katie?A．She performed well at school．B．She was a girl filled with love．C．She often made trouble at school．D．She used to be a discipline problem．47．Why did Katie eat school lunch instead of her homemade lunch every day？A．She lost her homemade lunch．B．She had her homemade lunch stolen．C．She didn't like the taste of her homemade lunch．D．She gave her homemade lunch to a hungry boy．48．What was Katie’s parents' reaction to the truth about the lunc h? A．They were very angry．B．They were proud of Katie．C．They were disappointed．D．They were rather upset．49．What can we learn from the passage?A．Katie was informed that her parents had known her secret．B．Katie told the author the truth of her lunch during their first talk．C．Katie’s secret of lunch was discovered by the author by accident．D．Katie stopped buying lunch at school after her secret was discovered．BMany of the world's countries have reached or are approaching zero population growth (ZPG）．Nearly all such lands are economically well developed．They include much of Europe（including Russia)，the United States，Canada,Japan．and Australia．As the rate of natural increase （RNI)declines，two things happen．First，the population begins to decline if the loss is not balanced by immigration．Second,a country's population ages because there are fewer births．Is achieving ZPG good or bad？What happens when a country’s population begins to drop？Many people，after all，believe that population decline is a good thing．But is it good for everyone？Does everyone agree？An aging population can create many problems．Senior citizens require more health care and medical attention．Rather than paying into retirementprograms,they begin to draw from their pensions．In the US，the Social Security program，according to many experts，will be used up by 2018．It will pay out more money than it takes in．Additionally，a great number of jobs go begging in search of people willing or entry level positions that pay low wages．With an able to do them．Many of these jobs are aging population，who will fill them? At the other extreme，some positions require a large number of training and highly specialized skills．Who will fill these positions as retirees leave the workforce？The answer to the problem of declining and aging population is simple:increased migration．Today many people，particularly those from less developed countries，are migrating in search of employment．Many are willing to take jobs that cannot(or will not）be filled by the domestic population．Others are well educated and highly skilled．Both groups contribute to a country’s economy progress in many ways．Further，they add to the richness of a country's culture．Of greatest importance，perhaps，is the fact that they have become absolutely necessary to the economy of many lands．As you can see，for many countries and for most immigrants，migration is a win-win situation．32．In the writer’s view，which of the following statements is TRUE？A．Not everyone agrees that achieving ZPG is absolutely good．B．Achieving ZPG is every country’s aim in spite of its side effects．C．Achieving ZPG is bad for senior citizens．D．Achieving ZPG is good for employment．33．According to the passage，the best way to solve the problem of declining and aging population is ．A．to improve the health care system B．to increase RNIC．to increase employment D．to increase migration34．The underlined words “the domestic population'’ can be replaced by ．A．people within the country B．people from developing countries C．people without a college education D．people living abroad 35．The main idea of the last paragraph is 。

I put asmall set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:”Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, ”But I’m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” T he student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”“Nobody. I do it.”“Really-at night, when you’re asleep?”“Sure.”“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”25. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________?A. know more about the studentsB. make the lessons more excitingC. raise the students’ interest in artD. teach the students about toy design26. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. He liked to help his teacher.B. He preferred to study alone.C. He was active in class.D. He was imaginative.27. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragra ph 4 probably mean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burden.28. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A. To help them to see their creativity.B. To find out about their sleeping habits.C. To help them to improve their memory.D. To find out about their ways of thinking.CReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.29. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B. To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.30. What does the underlin ed word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?A. The book.B. An adventure.C. A public place.D. The identification number.31. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discuss it.B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D. Mail it back to its owner.32. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: A Virtual TourB. Electronic Books: A new TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through BooksDA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of An tarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful andwell-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.33. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A. They were made last weekB. They showed undersea sceneriesC. They were found by a cameramanD. They recorded a disastrous adventure34. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A. Frank HurleyB. Ernest ShackletonC. Robert Falcon ScottD. Caroline Alexander35. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A. Artistic creationB. Scientific researchC. Money makingD. Treasure hunting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。

AKatie was in big trouble．She was such a sweet kid; a third - grade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katie’s she wa s never ever a discipline（纪律）problem．I just couldn't imagine why she had made her parents so angry．It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom．Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch．They assumed a sit - down with Katie would solve the problem, but failed．So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.So the next day, I asked Katie to my office．"Why are you charging lunches, Katie? What happened to your homemade lunch?" I asked．"I lose it," she responded．I leaned back in my chair and said, "I don't believe you, Katie．" She didn't care．"Is someone stealing your lunch, Katie?" I took a new track．"No．I just lose it," she said．Well, there was nothing else I could do．The problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table．He always looked sad．I thought I would go and sit with him for a while．As I walked towards him, I noticed the lunch bag on the table．The name on the bag said " Katie " ．Now I understood and I talked to Katie．It seemed that the new boy never brought a lunch, and he wouldn't go to the lunch line for a free lunch．He had told Katie his secret and asked her not to tell anyone that his parents wanted him to get a free lunch at school．Katie asked me not to tell her parents, but I drove to her house that evening after I was sure that she was in bed．I had never seen parents so proud of their child．Katie didn't care that her parents and teacher were disappointed in her．But she cared about a little boy who was hungry and scared．Katie still buys lunch every day at school．And every day, as she heads out of the door, her mom hands her a delicious homemade lunch．46．What did the author think of Katie?A．She performed well at school．B．She was a girl filled with love．C．She often made trouble at school．D．She used to be a discipline problem．47．Why did Katie eat school lunch instead of her homemade lunch every day?A．She lost her homemade lunch．B．She had her homemade lunch stolen．C．She didn't like the taste of her homemade lunch．D．She gave her homemade lunch to a hungry boy．48．What was Katie's parents' reaction to the truth about the lunch?A．They were very angry．B．They were proud of Katie．C．They were disappointed．D．They were rather upset．49．What can we learn from the passage?A．Katie was informed that her parents had known her secret．B．Katie told the author the truth of her lunch during their first talk．C．Katie's secret of lunch was discovered by the author by accident．D．Katie stopped buying lunch at school after her secret was discovered．BMany of the world’s countries have reached or are approaching zero population growth (Z PG)．Nearly all such lands are economically well developed．They include much of Europe(including Russia)，the United States，Canada，Japan．and Australia．As the rate of natural increase(RNI)declines，two things happen．First，the population begins to decline if the loss is not balanced by immigration．Second，a country’s population ages because there are fewer births．Is achieving ZPG good or bad? What happens when a country’s population begins to drop? Many people，after all，believe that population decline is a good thing．But is it good for everyone? Does everyone agree?An aging population can create many problems．Senior citizens require more health care and medical attention．Rather than paying into retirement programs，they begin to draw from their pensions．In the US，the Social Security program，according to many experts，will be used up by 2018．It will pay out more money than it takes in．Additionally, a great number of jobs go begging in search of people willing or entry level positions that pay low wages．With an able to do them．Many of these jobs are aging population，who will fill them? At the other extreme，some positions require a large number of training and highly specialized skills．Who will fill these positions as retirees leave the workforce?The answer to the problem of declining and aging population is simple：increased migration．Today many people，particularly those from less developed countries，are migrating in search of employment．Many are willing to take jobs that cannot(or will not) be filled by the domestic population．Others are well educated and highly skilled．Both groups contribute to a country’s economy progress in many ways．Further, they add to the richness of a country’s culture．Of greatest importance，perhaps，is the fact that they have become absolutely necessary to the economy of many lands．As you can see，for many countries and for most immigrants，migration is a win—win situation．32．In the writer’s view，which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Not everyone agrees that achieving ZPG is absolutely good．B．Achieving ZPG is every country’s aim in spite of its side effects．C．Achieving ZPG is bad for senior citizens．D．Achieving ZPG is good for employment．33．According to the passage，the best way to solve the problem of declining and aging population is ．A．to improve the health care system B．to increase RNIC．to increase employment D．to increase migration34．The underlined words “the domestic population’’ can be replaced by．A．people within the country B．people from developing countriesC．people without a college education D．people living abroad35．The main idea of the last paragraph is .A．the advantages of increased migrationB．the problem of declining and aging populationC．how to increase migrationD．some ways to enrich a country’s cultureCNowadays many people are concerned about the problem of what to do with electronic waste such as old televisions, computers, radios, cellular telephones and other electronic equipment.Electronic trash, or e-waste, is piling up faster than ever in American homes and businesses. People do not know what to do with old televisions or computers so they throw them in the trash.National Solid Waste Management Association (NSWMA) state programs director Chaz Miller says the large amount of electronic waste Americans product is not unexpected.The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills (垃圾填埋场) and create recycling programs. They can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts. Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore says, “There are lots of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just putting them in the landfill, and in certain components there are some materials that should not really be in the landfill. ”Fannon says nearly 20 percent of electronic waste is recycled nationwide. Thirteen years ago, it was only about 6 percent. Recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from landfills in order to keep e-waste poisons like lead (铅) and mercury (汞) out of garbage dumps.This year several states like Vermont imposed a ban on electronic waste in landfills. More than 25 other states have also adopted bans on e-waste in landfills. Chaz Miller says more can be done to boost electronic waste recycling.“We can do much better,” noted Miller. “I think clearly our goal should be to do as well as we do recycling newspapers.”32. Which of the following does NOT belong to e-waste?A. Old televisions.B. Old computers.C. Old cell phones.D. Old newspapers.33. Why is e-waste banned from landfills in many states?A. Because it can not be recycled.B. Because the landfills are already full.C. Because it might damage the environment.D. Because it can be shipped to other countries.34. According to Mike Fannon, what might be the best way of dealing with e-waste?A. Recycling it.B. Selling it.C. Burying it.D. Breaking it.35. What can we learn from the passage?A. Chaz Miller works for EPA.B. Miller is optimistic about the future of e-waste.C. At present, less than 10 percent of e-waste is recycled.D. All states in the US have banned e-waste from landfills.DHave you ever heard the saying “All roads lead to Rome”? At one time, this was pretty much true. During the Roman Empire, lots of roads were built in order to move armies, send messages by courier (信使), and make trade easier.The network of Roman roads was begun in 312 BC. It was demanded that the roads be built strong so that they would not fall down. Roman soldiers, supervised (监督) by engineers, laid down the roads in a special pattern of layers. There were all together 4 layers, which was made of different materials, such as sand, rocks, stones and so on.Also, Roman roads were cambered(拱形). This means that they were built higher in the middle than on the edges, allowing rainwater to run off, which prevented flooding. We use the same technique in building roads today. The Romans also laid out roads over hills when necessary, setting them down in a zigzag (之字形的)pattern to make the road rise gradually.All Roman roads had milestones (里程碑), placed every thousand paces (a Roman mile). The milestonestold when the road was built, who was e mperor at the time, the road’s destination, how far the traveler was from the destination, and how many miles had been traveled since the beginning of the road. This information was a great help to travelers.Because of their excellence in construction, it really is no surprise that many parts of Roman road still exist today. These roadways are one of the most impressive achievements of the Roman Empire.21. The following description about Roman roads is true EXCEPT _____.A. Roman roads were built by the Roman soldiers directed by the engineersB. Roman roads could prevent flooding using the technique we don’t use todayC. Roman roads had milestones that were placed every Roman mileD .Roman roads still exist today as an impressive achievement of Roman Empire22. What information can you find on the milestones?A. The builders of the road.B. The materials used in building roads.C. The distance from one city.D. The time spent in building roads.23. The passage mainly ______.A. explains the saying “All roads lead to Rome”B. praises ancient Romans for their great achievementsC. shows how great the Roman Empire wasD. introduces the construction of the Roman roads第二节（七选五共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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
2016年高考新课标卷寒假考练--英语试题(六)配答案
2016年高考新课标卷寒假考练--英语试题（六）配答案第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)ABill Javis took over our village‟s news-agency at a time of life when most of us only wanted to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-agency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock.Every day he opened his shop at 6:00 a. m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his doorstep before that. Many of Bill‟s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 o‟clock, so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his nearest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometimes in the afternoon-, the evening paper landed on the doorway, and at 4 o‟ clock Bill reopened his shop. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.He lived in a flat above the ship, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the afternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the water. He had no luck, I could see, but he was making no effort to move.“What‟s wrong, Bill?” I called out from the path.For answer, he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, "Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right. "I had never known anyone carrying a brass alarm clock round with him before.21. Bill Javis became a news-agent when ________.A. he need the money.B. he decided to take things easyC. he was quite an old manD. he gave up clock-repairing22. Bill opened the shop so early in the day because ________.A. he liked to do as much as possible before he went to workB. the shop had to be open when the morning papers cameC. he was never sure of timeD. it was then that he did a lot of business23. On that sunny afternoon, the writer was surprised when he saw Bill because ________.A. he thought it was late for Bill to be still fishingB. he thought Bill was ill, since he was not moving at allC. Bill had not caught anything, and that seemed strangeD. Bill stayed in his flat24. From the information given in the passage, who or what do you think was wrong?A. The bell was; it must have gone off at the wrong time.B. Bill was; he had dropped off to sleep.C. The writer‟s watch was fast.D. Bill‟s clock was wrong; it was old.BWhen I decided to quit my job as a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties, fresh from my divorce from Bob who had left me empty and confused. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.My first experience was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog (博客). It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even with my blog and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger.Luckily, I got in at the right time. It was 2010，and the travel industry was just starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my blogging-not my photography-did take me around the world successfully. At first，I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging.Within two years, I was being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which helped me to raise a network of friends around the world. Even more meaningful, however, was when I saw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere.25. After the author quit her job, she decided to ______.A. divorce her husbandB. be a wedding photographerC. pay off all her debtD. go travelling abroad26. What can we learn about the author from the 2nd paragraph?A. She paid money to a car delivery agency for a road trip.B. She realised his dream of becoming a travel photographer.C. She got a job as an editor in a publishing house.D. She finally became a professional blogger unintentionally.27 The author believed her success mainly resulted from ______.A. her personal reasonsB. her photographing skillsC. free marketing for bloggingD. booming of travel industry28.What did the author think of her two years' work?A. Inspiring.B. Appealing.C. Interesting.D. Challenging.CA study has showed that the brain makes decisions about 10 seconds before a person realizes it.Experts involved in the study said that looking at brain activity while making a decision,they could predict the choices the subjects would make, before they realized that they had made a decision. Lead researcher John-Dylan Haynes, a neuroscientist (神经学家)at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, said that the new findings called into questions for “consciousness”of decisions that people make, and might even challenge ideas as to how“free”people are to make a decision at a particular moment.“We think our decisions are conscious, but these data show that consciousness is just the tip of the iceberg,”Nature magazine quoted (引用) him as saying. Thinking the results“quite dramatic”, Frank Tong of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, said that 10 seconds is“a lifetime”in terms of brain activity.During the study, the brains of 14 volunteers were imaged as they performed a decision-making task. The subjects had two buttons before them, each to be operated by a different hand, which they could press when they felt the urge to. They were simultaneously (同时地)shown a stream of letters, which appeared on a screen at half-second intervals (间隔). The volunteers had to remember which letter was showing when they decided to press their button.Upon analysis of the data, the researchers realized that the earliest signal they could catch started seven seconds before the volunteers reported having made their decision. Given the delay of a few seconds in the imaging, they reckoned (估计) that the brain activity could have begun about ten seconds before the conscious decision. The researchers showed that the signals were picked up from a region (区域)called the frontopolar cortex (脑额极皮层),which is located at the front of the brain, immediately behind the forehead.While writing about the observations made during the research in his study report, Haynes said that the frontopolar cortex might be the brain region where decisions are started. He also showed that the next step in the research would be to speed up the data analysis so as to enable his team to predict people‟s choi ces as their brains would make them.29. The passage tells us that ______.A. we are aware of our whole process of decision-makingB. people don‟t make decisions until they realize itC. experts have no way to tell what decision one will makeD. the decision-making process starts before it is made30. The underlined word “subjects”in Para. 2 probably refers to ______.A. the topic of the experts‟ research paperB. the scientific subjects that the experts were studyingC. the things that experts don‟t know clearlyD. the volunteers that the experts worked on for their research31. The underlined sentence“consciousness is just the tip of the iceberg”in Para.3means that ______.A. our decision-making is consciousB. the data contains a lot of information besides consciousnessC. consciousness is the major part of the dataD. 10 se conds is“a lifetime”in terms of brain activity32. The passage implies that ______.A. the research has been completedB. the research was conducted by two expertsC. the decision-making process lasts only about 10 secondsD. we may predict what decisions people will make in the futureDWhat will power your house in the future？Nuclear，wind，or solar power？According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US，it might be leaves — but artificial (人造的) ones.Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis (光合作用)．Now researchers have found a way to imitate this seemingly simple process.The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts (催化剂)．Similar to natural leaves，it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell，which uses those two materials to produce electricity，located either on top of a house or beside the house.Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card，scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. “One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology,” said Nocera at a conference of the American Chemical Society.The artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf w as invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use. The new leaf，by contrast，is made of cheap materials，easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies，Nocera showed that an artificial leaf prototype (原型) could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.The wonderful improvements come from Nocera's recent discovery of several powerful，new and inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now，the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides，the device can run in whatever water is available；that is，it doesn't need pure water. This is important for some countries that don't have access to pure water.With the goal to “make each home its own power station” and “give energy to the poor”，scientists believe that the new technology could be widely used in developing countries，especially in India and rural China.33. Which of the following orders correctly shows how the artificial leaf is used to produce electricity?a．artificial leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygenb．the hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cellc．the artificial leaves are put in waterd．the fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricityA. c，a，b，d B．c，b，a，dC．b，c，a，d D．c，a，d，b34. The purpose of the scientists at MIT in developing the new artificial leaf is to________.A．build up more power stations in the worldB．provide cheaper energy for developing countriesC．offer people in developing countries access to pure waterD．gain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis process35．The main idea of this passage is ________.A．an introduction to the history of artificial leavesB．a mixture of water power and solar energyC．giving energy to the poor D．an invention copying photosynthesis第二节：七选五阅读What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More RespectAs teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults, the transition (过渡) into adulthood has begun.

ABEIJING — Rising smartphone star Xiaomi is moving upmarket and taking aim at Apple's iPhone. The Chinese maker known for low-priced phones on Thursday unveiled(发布) a new model that Chairman Jun Lei said is comparable to Apple's iPhone 6 but thinner, lighter and much cheaper. The phone starts at 2, 299 yuan ($375), less than half the 5,288 yuan ($ 865) price of an iPhone 6 in China.Xiaomi, founded in 2010, passed South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. in the second quarter of last year as the best-selling smartphone brand in China by number of phones sold. The company is expanding into India and other developing markets but has yet to announce plans to enter the United States or Europe.Xiaomi "is a respected brand that already has an Apple-like following" in China, said analyst Brian Blair, who tracks mobile device makers at Rosenblatt Securities. Apple is still a relatively small player in China, selling about 45 million iPhones there last year, Blair estimates, but will continue to grow."Apple is very much a premium (高端的) brand," said Blair. "The company that's more at risk is Samsung, which has been losing share in that market."Privately held (私人控股的) Xiaomi said last year's sales tripled to 61. 1 million phones and revenue (收益) more than doubled to 74. 3 billion yuan ($12.2 billion). The company, based in Beijing, recently completed a round of fundraising from investors that it said valued Xiaomi at $ 45 billion, making it one of the world's most valuable technology brands.Xiaomi ran into legal trouble in India in December after a court blocked sales while it hears a complaint by Sweden's LM Ericcson that the Chinese company violated its patents.In a blog post earlier this month, Lei called the case a "rite of passage" (成年礼) for a young company.72. Which of the following statements is true?A. Xiaomi sold more cellphones than Samsung in 2010 in China.B. Compared to Xiaomi, Apple's iPhone 6 is thinner and lighter.C. Low-price is Xiaomi's advantage over Apple's iPhones.D. The company is expanding into the United States or Europe.73. What can be inferred from the passage according to Brian Blair?A. More than 45 million iPhones will be sold this year.B. Xiaomi can beat Apple in the market of China.C. He thinks Xiaomi is superior to Apple.D. Samsung will be closed for losing share in the market.74. How is the 5th paragraph developed?A. By giving examples.B. By analyzing cause and effect.C. By providing data.D. By making comparisons.75. What's the attitude of Jun Lei towards the case of Xiaomi in India?A. Negative.B. Satisfied.C. Positive.D. Doubtful.BI have only once been in trouble with the law. The whole process of being arrested and taken to court was a rather unpleasant experience at the time, but it makes a good story now. What makes it rather disturbing was the arbitrary(任意的、武断的) circumstances both of my arrest and my subsequent fate in court.It happened in February about twelve years ago. I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October. I was still living at home at the time.One morning I was in Richmond, a suburb of London near where I lived. I was looking for a temporary job so that I could save up some money to go traveling. As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry, I was taking my time, looking in shop windows, strolling in the park, and sometimes just stopping and looking around me. It must have been this obvious aimlessness that led to my downfall.It was about half past eleven when it happened. I was just walking out of the local library,having unsuccessfully sought employment there, when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talking to me. I thought he was going to ask me the time. Instead, he said he was a police officer and he was arresting me. At first I thought it was some kind of joke.But then another policeman appeared, this time in uniform, and I was left in no doubt.“But what for?” I asked.“Wandering with intent to commit an arrestable offence.” he said.“What offence?” I asked.“Theft.” he said.“Theft of what?” I asked.“Milk bottles,” he said, and with a perfectly straight face too!“Oh,” I said.It turned out there had been a lot of petty（小规模的）thefts in the area, particularly that of stealing milk bottles from doorsteps.Then I made my big mistake. At the time I was nineteen, had long untidy hair, and regarded myself as part of the sixties’ “youth counterculture”. As a result, I wanted to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident, so I said, “How long have you been following me?” in the most casual and conversational tone I could manage. I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of situation, and it confirmed them in their belief that I was a thoroughly disreputable（品行不端的）character.A few minutes later a police car arrived.“Get in the back,” they said. “Put your hands on the back of the front seat and don’t move them.”They got in on either side of me. It wasn’t funny any more.At the police station they questioned me for several hours. I continued to try to look worldly and familiar with the situation. When they asked me what I had been doing, I told them I’d been looking for a job. “Aha,” I could see them thinking, “unemployed”.Eventually, I was officially charged and told to report to Richmond Magistrates’ Court the following Monday. Then they let me go.I wanted to conduct my own defense in court, but as soon as my father found out what had happened, he hired a very good lawyer. We went along that Monday armed with all kinds ofwitnesses, including my English teacher from school as a character witness. But he was never called on to give evidence. My “trial” didn’t get that far. The magistrate（法官）dismissed the case after fifteen minutes. I was free. The poor police had never stood a chance. The lawyer even succeeded in getting costs awarded against the police.And so I do not have a criminal record. But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on. I had the “right” accent, respectable middle-class parents in court, reliable witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good lawyer. Given the obscure nature of the charge, I feel sure that if I had come from a different background, and had really been unemployed, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty. While asking for costs to be awarded, my lawyer’s case quite obviously revolved（回转）around the fact that I had a “brilliant academic record”.Meanwhile, just outside the courtroom, one of the policemen who had arrested me was gloomily complaining to my mother that another youngster had been turned against the police. “You could have been a bit more helpful when we arrested you,” he said to me reproachfully（责备地）.What did he mean? Probably that I should have looked outraged and said something like, “Look here, do you know who you’re talking to? I am a highly successful student with a brilliant academic record. How dare you arrest me!” Then they, probably, would have apologized perhaps even taken off their caps, and let me on my way.51. The first man who came up to him was ______.A. a uniformed policemanB. a policeman in plainclothesC. not a policemanD. a good joker52. The court never asked the author’s English teacher to give evide nce because _______.A. the time for the trial was limited to fifteen minutes onlyB. the author wanted to conduct his own defense in courtC. the case was dismissed before the trial reached that stageD. he was found to be unqualified as a character witness53. The author believes that he would most probably have been declared guilty if _______.A. the magistrate had been less gentleB. he had really been out of workC. he had been born in a lower— class familyD. both B and C54. In the opinion of one of the policeman who had arrested the author, the whole thing might not have occurred if ______.A. he had protested strongly at the timeB. he had begged to be allowed to go homeC. he hadn’t wandered aimlesslyD. he had tried to look cool55. We can see from the passage that the author ______.A. has broken the law only onceB. has never broken the lawC. has broken the law on more than one occasionD. once broke the law without knowing itCVisitors worry that London is an expensive city but there really are so many free things to do here. The following ideas should get you started.All of London's major museums are free, but most offer some special exhibitions for a fee. My favorite is the Museum of London where you can learn the history of London from Roman times to today. And I love the Geffrye Museum which shows English domestic interiors and helps bring to life what it was really like to live in London.I regularly hear people tell me the Queen Mary's Rose Gardens in Regent's Park is their favorite spot in London, and who am I to argue? I would also recommend St. James's Park as it offers one of the best views of Buckingham Palace. Hyde Park is enormous and Kensington Gardens nearby includes the ever popular Diana Memorial Playground and the Peter Pan Statue.No visit to London is complete without seeing this military tradition. The Queen's Guard in London changes in the Forecourt inside the gates of Buckingham Palace at 11.30am every day in the summer and every other day in the winter. Get there early and view the spectacle from outside the front gates.Trafalgar Square is one of Britain's greatest visitor attractions and was designed by John Nash in the 1820s and constructed in the 1830s. This iconic square has many sights to see including Nelson's Column and the National Gallery. It is both a tourist attraction and the main focus for political demonstrations. Every December, Norway donates a marvelous Christmas tree, to thankBritain for liberation from the Nazis.21. Where can visitors find the Peter Pan Statue?A. in Regent's Park.B. in St. James's Park.C. in Hyde Park.D. in Kensington Gardens.22. Which of the following desrciptions is True ?A. In the Geffrye Museum visitors can learn the history of London from Roman times to today.B. The Queen Mary's Rose Gardens is in Buckingham Palace.C. There is the Queen's Guard change inside the gates of Buckingham Palace at 11.30 am every day all year around.D. Trafalgar Square is both a tourist attraction and a place for political demonstration s.23. The writer wrote the pasage to ________.A .compare some free places in London.B . advertise some free places in London.C. recommend some free places in London.D. expose some free places in London.DLove to sink into your chairs and relax when you get to school? Then you will not be happy to hear that schools all over the world are seriously considering exchanging traditional desks for ones with no seats at all — Yes, that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math and science lessons! Why would anyone even think of putting kids to such cruelty? Experts say it improves their health and helps fight obesity. While that may seem a little far-fetched (牵强的) the officials at the few schools around the world seem to agree.Among them are educators from the College Station Independent School District in Texas, who recently completed a week-long experiment involving 480 students across three elementary schools. The 374 kids that agreed to participate in the study were provided a device that helped record step count and calorie consumption over the entire period.All 25 teachers involved in the study reported that students appeared to be more alert and concentrate better, when allowed to stand. The one thing that did surprise the researchers was that younger kids were more willing to stay standing than kids in higher grades. They believe this may have something to do with the fact that after years of being aske d to “sit still”, older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom.American schools are not the only ones reporting success with stand-up desks. Four Catholic schools in Perth, Australia, which have been testing them since October 2013, have seen similarresults. In May 2014, Grove House Primary School in Bradford, West Yorkshire, became Europe’s first test one, with a seven-week trial that involved the use of desks made by Ergotron in their fifth-grade classrooms. While official results are not out yet, early reactions from both teachers and students, have been extremely encouraging.The findings of these studies and others done previously, all seem to mean that allowing kids to move around in classrooms is a win-win for students and teachers — it helps kids get healthier and provides educators with a more engaged audience.32. According to the first paragraph, what may make the students at school unhappy is that _____.A. they have to exchange desks with each otherB. they have to exchange traditional desks for ones with no seatsC. there are no seats for them to sit in classD. the officials show no sympathy to them at all33. According to the teachers, older students may not like stand-up desks because _____.A. they are cleverer than younger studentsB. they are easily tired of standing longC. they have formed the habit of sittingD. they do badly in class while standing34. What is most likely to be the result of the seven-week trial?A. The standing desks can’t be used at all.B. It is good for students to use stand-up desks.C. More tests should be done in other schools.D. The students are different in personality.35. Why do the teachers like the standing desks?A. Because the educators can draw the students’ attention.B. Because the teachers can keep the students healthy.C. Because the students can have a walk in the classroom.D. Because the standing desks can keep the students concentrated.第二节（七选五共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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

2016年高考新课标卷寒假考练--英语试题（九）配答案阅读理解：AWhen it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence．People naturally have different levels of confidence．Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals．Increasing self -confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals．One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace．We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise．This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities．After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success．If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do．Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job．If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing（裁员）．After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team．Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve．Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence．1．What is the passage mainly about?A．The influence of confidence on one's life．B．The importance of confidence to successC．The difference of people's confidence．D．The judgment on one's confidence．2．Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those ______．A．who think their goals are hard to reachB．who expect to give guidance to othersC．who want to ask the boss for a raiseD．who dream to be recognized experts3.

I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another's hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and -such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger_cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.5．In this passage, the author wants to tell ________.A．teenagers to try to pursue their real selvesB．readers to try to be popular with people aroundC．parents to try to control and guide their childrenD．people to try to understand and respect each other6．The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers ________.A．growing away from their parents B．following the popularity trend C．walking a new way on their own D．turning to their friends for help7．The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second para graph refers to ________. A．the distractive and variable society B．the dazzling music worldC．the parental care and love D．the popularity wave in the society8．What does the author think of advertisements?A．Convincing. B．Instructive. C．Influential. D．Authoritative.CEurope is home to a variety of cultural treasures. Lonely Planet,the world’s largest travel guide publisher, has offered pairs of cities for culture-hungry but time-poor travelers.London and ParisIt takes you about two hours to travel from London to Paris by Eurostar, a high-speed railway service. The two capital cities have been competing in fashion, art and nightlife for decades－but each secretly looks up to the other.No one can doubt the grand and impressive beauty of Paris' Louvre Museum, but if you want to save money, you cannot skip the British Museum free to visit. Compared with London, Paris has more outdoor attractions such as the beautiful green walkway La Promenade Plantee.In Paris, you'll see diners linger over red wine. While in London, you can try some afternoon tea, eat fish and chips or salted cake.Vienna and BratislavaAustrian capital Vienna and Slovakia city Bratislava are an hour apart by train. But since they are linked by the Danube River, the best way to travel is by ship. A tour of the two cities is the perfect way to experience everything from 17th century’s Habsburg dynasty splendor to sci-fi restaurants.Vienna is famous for Mozart and imperial palaces. You can appreciate the perfect blending of architecture and nature in the grand Schonbrunn Palace, and reward yourself with a cup of Vienna coffee, which has made its way to the world's cultural heritage list.Bratislava is best known for its fine dining－the remarkable UFO restaurant. You can enjoy a meat-laden dinner here in an amazing setting.9. What’s the relationship between London and Paris according to the text?A. They help each other.B. They attack each other.C. They admire each other.D. They don't like each other.10. What are the advantages of Paris mentioned in the article?a. The Louvre Museumb. Free access to museumsc. More outdoor attractionsd. Better wines and perfumesA. acB. cdC. acdD. bcd11. Which of the cities should you choose if you are interested in sci-fi restaurants?A. London.B. Paris.C. Glasgow.D. Bratislava.12. Lonely Planet recommends these two pairs of cities because ________.A. they are not expensive to visitB. they are best known to the worldC. they are always enemies between each otherD. they are close but different in many aspectsDThe current Ebola (埃博拉病毒) outbreak in western and central Africa has infected at least 3,069 people, including 1,552 dead, making it the largest outbreak in history. Ebola is a deadly virus —about 60 percent of people infected with it have died. How is Ebola doing its harm?When a person becomes infected with Ebola, the virus damages the body’s immune (免疫的) cells, which defend against infection, said a researcher at Lancaster University. But if a person’s immune system can stand up to this attack, then he is more likely to survive the disease.The patients that survive it best are those who don’t get suc h a bad disadvantage in immune system. But if the body isn’t able to get rid of this attack, then the immune system becomes less able to regulate (调节) itself. This means the immune system is more likely to run out of control, leading to a drop in blood pressure, multi-organ failure and eventually death.What are the common symptoms of the disease?Fever. Headache. Joint and muscle aches. Weakness. Diarrhea. V omiting. Stomach pain. Lack of appetite. Chills. Rash. Redness in the eyes. Hiccups. Cough. Sore throat. Chest pain. Difficult breathing or swallowing. Bleeding inside and outside of the body. How to prevent the spread of Ebola?Ebola can be spread primarily via direct contact with patients, specifically the blood and fluids of an infected patient.We should avoid contact with infected patients and objects such as clothing, bedding, and needles used by them. Avoid areas where infections have been reported. For now, the disease has only been confirmed in central and West Africa, four cases in America and Europe. Avoid eating wild-caught bush meat. Researchers have suspected that the disease came to humans via animals, probably through the meat of primates(灵长类). If you’re in an area where the disease has been reported, avoid purchasing, eating, or handling wild game to stay on the safe side.Wear protective medical clothing if you’re around infected patients. Extreme caution is necessary. Hospital workers must use masks, gloves, goggles, and gowns, which needed to be worn at all times if you’re around infected patients.How Do People Survive Ebola?Doctors don’t know for certain who will survive Ebola, and there is no specifictreatment or cure for the disease. Although in the minority, some people do recover from infection.Our suggestions include:Maintain your electrolytes (电解质) and body liquid. Sports drinks can be used. Monitor your blood pressure and control it if necessary. Dropping blood pressure may be a serious sign of infection. Breathe in an oxygen-rich environment. Quickly address any symptoms of infection. Be hones t about when and where you’re feeling pain.13. Ebola causes the death of a human being by __________.A. attacking him with high feverB. regulating his immune systemC. damaging his immune cellsD. harming all his organs directly14. What is NOT mentioned as the symptom of Ebola?A. Fever and chills.B. Swallowing difficulty.C. Loss of blood.D. High blood pressure.15. In order not to be infected by Ebola, we should __________.A. have the clothing of the infected cleanedB. avoid eating wild animals like monkeysC. not travel to Africa, America or EuropeD. stay at home without going anywhere七选五：Procrastination (拖延) is a phenomenon we are familiar with. When we procrastinate, we waste our free time and put off important tasks we should do till it’s too late. 16 Here, I will share some personal steps taken to overcome procrastination with great success.Break your work down into little parts. Part of the reason why we procrastinate is that we find the work too overwhelming (巨大的)for us. Break it down into little parts, and then focus on one part at a time. If you still procrastinate after doing so, break it down even further. 17Change your environment. Look at your work desk and your room. Do they make you want to work or do they make you sleepy? 18Create a detailed timeline with specific deadlines. Having just one deadline for your work is like an invitation to procrastinate. That’s because we would get the impression that we have time and keep pushing eve rything back until it’s too late. 19 In this way, you know you have to finish each task by a certain date.20 I’m pretty sure if you spend just 10 minutes talking to people like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, you’ll be more inspired to act than if you spend the 10 minutes doingnothing. The people we are with influence our behavior.A. Seek out someone who has already achieved the similar outcome to your goals.B. Hang out with people who inspire you to take action.C. Having a companion makes the whole process much more fun.D. If it’s the latter, you should begin to change your workspace.E. It’s a bad habit eating us away and stopping us achieving greater success in life.F. Break down your project, and then create an overall timeline with specific deadlines for each small task.G. Soon, your task will be so simple that you will be thinking you can do it now.完形填空The moment I stepped off the plane after a writer’s conference, my youngest son Jeremy greeted me and cried out, “Poster paper, Mama!

It was quite different from the regular English classes we were familiar to, for we had no textbooks, no blackboard or no fixed seats.Gathering at the entrance of the station, we told to collect as many English words and sentences as possible here. Curious and excited, we walked around the station and looked everywhere, search for any information in English. Whenever an English word comes into sight, the class would burst into the cheers as if we had discovered a new world. With the Chinese translation and vividly pictures, we could figure out its meaning with ease.Now, this unforgettable lesson still encourages me to be an active learner where I go.阅读：A：BA A D B: A B D CC: C A D D D：C D B七选五：E G D F B完形：DBABC ADDBCAACBD DCCAB语法填空：anized2. are3.that4.appearance5.equally6. a7.It8.survival9. of 10. to make改错：1. hold---held2. to---with3.or---and4. told 前加were5. here—there6. search—searching7. comes—came8. 去掉cheers 前的the9. vividly—vivid 10.where—wherever。
2016年高考新课标卷寒假考练--英语试题(二)配答案
2016年高考新课标卷寒假考练--英语试题（二）配答案一、阅读部分：AMother and I start our new life in America. In the morning we travel together to work. Rising at the crack of dawn, I love the adventure of tiptoeing around in the dark living room where we sleep, whispering to each other so as not to wake Aunt Celia and Uncle Martin in the bedroom, then leaving the house soundlessly and making our way to the subway station in semidarkness. By the time we reach Kings Highway, the rising day throws a mysterious light on the empty and quiet avenue ordinarily crowded with human traffic, and on the shuttered(有百叶窗的) storefronts and fruit stands now cozily(舒适的) wrapped in layers of canvas(帆布). There is a sense of mystery---a sense of power---in being here before the rest of the world awakens…as if witnessing the beginning of time.We love traveling together on t he subway, Mother and I. It’s fun to observe our fellow subway riders, exchange jokes in Hungarian, play guessing games as to their identities, their ages, and their jobs and make bets as to where they’d be getting off.In a couple of weeks Mother becomes familiar with the train route, and she no longer allows me to accompany her.“But I’ll miss the fun of traveling together in the morning,” I protest.“So will I. But it comes at a sacrifice. In order to accompany me, you must rise an hour earlier, losing an hour’s sleep. You need that extra hour of sleep.” Mother is firm, and I have no choice but to comply and regretfully give up on our morning fun.“I hope you’ll have time to teach me English. Now that I have a job and travel alone on the subway, I’ll need to improve my vocabulary. I don’t want to depend on you every time I need to make a phone call in English, or want to take public transport.”“Okay, madam,” I agree in a happy, joking tone. “How about today? Let’s have our first lesson this evening!”Every evening I ask Mother a lot of questions about vocabulary and grammar, and indeed in a couple of weeks she learns enough to do marketing on her own and travel freely by subway.1. Which detail from the text shows that the author is excited about her life in America?A. Her resistance to the growing independence of her mother.B. Her acceptance of why she can no longer accompany her mother.C. Her description of rising early to ride the subway with her mother.D. Her discipline to work on language lessons every day with her mother2. Which of the following describes the author’s attitude towards her mother?A. Supportive.B. Disrespectful.C. Sympathetic.D. Angry.3. The text is most probably taken from ___________.A. a review of a bookB. a book about one’s life storyC. a travel magazineD. a handbook for foreigners.BWelcome to the world of multitasking---a place where the measure of a person is how many jobs they can perform at the same time. In fact, if experts are to be believed multitasking is a disastrous idea.One of the opponents(反对者) of multitasking is Dr. Clifford Nass, a professor at Stanford University. “People who multitask frequently are less able to pay attention; they are worse at managing their memory,” he said. In his opinion, the loss that we get with multitasking is harmless in some situations, for example, part of doing business in the digital world; but you can’t do serious work like writing, thinking or solving an importan t problem this way. You do worse even as you think you’re doing better. All the time the research points to a simple fact: the brain cannot cope. When you stop midway through composing a report to check an email, you force your brain to stop and regroup. It is like pressing the pause button during a movie, meaning the film takes longer to watch.And according to Dr. Nass, the problems extend beyond the brain. Young people who frequently multitask are not as socially and emotionally healthy as those who don’t. They just feel more emotionally satisfied and the feeling is so good and they are bound to desire it again. Todd Oppenheimer, a writer said, “We’ve become a very short-term society and don’t reward people for taking a lot of time on something.” He fears we may end up losing the next generation of great thinkers. “It’s really unfortunate because the long-term challenges of our world---environmental issues, financial issues---require people to think wisely about the long-term consequences of what they do. And it’s no coincidence that the kind of people who do think long-term don’t multitask.4. According to Dr. Nass, multitasking ________.A. contributes to memorizing various thingsB. may result in losing the next generation of great thinkersC. can be performed using digital toolsD. makes the performance emotionally affected only5. From the passage, we can tell ________.A. we mistakenly believe that we’re doing better by switching between tasksB. multitasking does harm to us in every areaC. for every task you add to your multitasking, you can finish your goal more quicklyD. the loss that we get with multitasking is harmless6. Which of the following is a multitasking addict?A. You watch from start to finish without distraction when playing a DVD.B. You have your office desk covered with paperwork from various unfinished projects.C. You feel that when you try to do too much at once, the result always suffers.D. You turn your cell phone to silence when you are out to dine with friends.7. The author mainly wants to tell us _________.A. it is more efficient to do things all in a mixed wayB. it takes longer for us to become a great thinkerC. we shouldn’t be lazy if we want to accomplish many tasksD. the less you switch, the better you doCAsk someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of areas for burying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.8. What does the underlined phrase “that over-consumption” refer to?A. Using too much packaging.B. Recycling too many wastes.C. Making more products than necessary.D. Having more material than is needed.9. The author uses figures in Para graph 2 to show.A. the tendency of cutting household wasteB. the increase of packaging recyclingC. the rapid growth of supermarketsD. the fact of packaging overuse10. According to the text, recycling.A. helps control the greenhouse effectB. means burning packaging for energyC. is the solution to gas shortageD. leads to a waste of land11. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.D. Other products are better packaged than food.DTeen Dating can be fun if you are aware of its pros and cons and are also aware of the ways to protect yourself. There are a couple of suggestions you would like to know before you are out for dating.Do not go out for dating with somebody whom you have seen only a few times and does not know much about him or her.Before leaving on a date, know the exact plans for the evening and make sure a parent or friend knows these plans and what time to expect you home. Let your date know that you are expected to call or tell that person when you get in.Similarly, if you leave a party with someone you do not know well, make sure you tell another person you are leaving and with whom. Ask a friend to call and make sure you arrive home safely.No matter how good the person appears to you, trust your inner instincts (直感). If a situation makes you uncomfortable, try to stay calm and think of a way to remove yourself from the situation without letting your date realize what is going on in your mind.Be aware of your decreased ability to react under the influence of alcohol or drugs and keep yourself in control when out for a date.Always stay firm, straightforward and clear in your relationships, thoughts,decisions and judgments. Never let a doubt come to your mind or face when out for dating. If you are firm and clear in your communication, your date will always be careful in dealing with you.You should think ahead about ways to be safe if you are in a dangerous or potentially dangerous relationship. Adults, like parents, teachers, counselors, can be trusted in such cases.12．Which of the following is forbidden when dating according to the passage?A．Going out for dating with a stranger.B．Knowing the plan for the evening.C．Telling your parents about the date.D．Telling the person you date that your parents know about the date.13．The underlined word “date ” in the third paragraph might mean ________.A．a time B．a plan C．a person D．a place14．If you feel uncomfortable, you should NOT _______.A．leave as soon as possible B．tell your date what you are thinkingC．stay calm D．trust yourself15．The best title for this passage might be .A．Be careful with your friends B．Never go out datingC．Safety measures for teen dating D．Dating out is always dangerous七选五Learn to Perfect Your Email Writing SkillsEmail is a double-edged sword．16．Here are some suggestions you need to know about writing emails in a professional setting.●Focus on the receiverBe clear about why you are emailing this person；briefly state it at the beginning.

新课标2016年高三英语寒假作业10第Ⅰ卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AThe ruins of Moore, Oklahoma, a town destructed for the fourth time in 14 years by a major tornado （龙卷风）, are a reminder that current building codes(规范) can’t do much to prevent property destruction and loss of life, especially when a powerful tornado cuts through town. But the total death number can be reduced when people take shelter in underground storm bunkers（碉堡）and hardened safe rooms.The tornado that carved a path of destruction through Moore took 24 lives. Its winds were clocked at 400 kilometers per hour. With only 15 minutes’ warning, residents fled town or took refuge（避难）in the firmest corners of their homes. The luckiest were able to climb into shelters or move to safe rooms.In Moore those rooms saved lives. But at two schools destroyed by Monday's tornado, no such shelter was available. Leslie Chapman Henderson is CEO of a non-profit group called the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes. She's an advocate for tornado safe rooms.“The safe room is an interior（内部）room of the home that has been reinforced（加固）and tested to withstand high wind. In fact, we’ve already heard of stories of survival of people who were in safe rooms, either above or below ground,” she said.Better storm forecasts give people more time to react. But they need someplace safe to go. Buildings can be built to resist strong winds, but not like those in the F-5 tornado that touched down in Moore. Chapman Henderson says even the building codes that do exist are not widely adopted or enforced.As its residents prepare to rebuild, Moore’s mayor is pushing for an order to make safe rooms compulsory in all new construction. Similar proposals were made following each of the previous tornado strikes, but none were adopted.25. According to Chapman Henderson, which of the following does she probably agree with?A. Building codes make a difference in preventing property destruction.B. If people take shelter in safe rooms, nobody will die.C. It is urgent to build tornado safe rooms.D. Safe rooms can be built only underground.26. What can we infer from the text?A. Moore has gone through tornado 4 times in total.B. Chapman Henderson is Moore’s mayor.C. Monday's tor nado took 24 lives at two schools.D. The Moore’s proposal might not be approved.27. The underlined word “withstand ” in paragraph 4 probably means________.A. opposeB. resistC. preventD. defeatBDo American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for ten to fifteen minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for sixty to seventy minutes a day----which really is pretty much for handwriting.Many adults remember learning that way----by copying letters over and over again. Today’s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency －writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.But not everyone masters these skills. Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive, whichconnects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board, which administers the SAT college admission test. More than 75% of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.１. We can infer from the first paragraph that ______.A. teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting.B. most teachers attach importance to teaching handwriting.C. handwriting teaching is not commonly required.D. most teachers are at a loss how to teach handwriting２. Which of the following about traditional handwriting in the USA is NOT true?A. The students are taught by practicing a long period.B. Printing is taught in preference to writing in cursive.C. Handwriting is taught for its own sake.D. Two skills get involved in handwriting.３. Some American people consider handwriting not important any more because ______.A. all the American children learn to print firstB. about 1/4 of the students choose to print their essay on the testC. it is unnecessary to use handwriting in the age of keyboardD. computers and voice recognition programs are widely used４. ______ may serve as the best title for the passage.A. Handwriting: fascinating in keyboard ageB. Right or wrong: the death of handwritingC. Two skills involved in handwritingD. Handwriting lessons on the way outCEveryone has some opinion about history, no matter how ill-informed. Walking through a parking lot in a university in Miami, I noticed a bumper sticker (车尾贴纸) that said, “Ruin a Liberal’s (自由派) Day—Recite Historical Fact!” But Marwick thinks this sort of opinion is just fine; it is unavoidable that weall feel a sense of ownership of history.History never stands still, as Marwick says at the beginning of The Nature of History, “The shape and content of history, too, vary according to the methods and materials available to different generations.” Marwick’s goal is to explain, in plain language, the changes in the way history is done up to th e present; one method is to connect history with advances in the physical sciences. Marwick examines a number of case studies toward the end of the book. He ends the book with a refreshing collection of aphorisms (格言) about history. History truly belongs to each and every man and we all belong to history; with the proper education, history can be made more accessible to everyone.Marwick relates how inventions and the physical sciences have driven historical changes. Dropping a ball in a vacuum will reveal the same properties (性质) each time the experiment is conducted, providing the conditions are the same. But historians obviously do not have the luxury of reproducing such conditions; historians view the past through the present which depends on invention and science.By looking at the changing nature of history, Marwick feels the study progressing. Although Marwick suspects some people would accuse a historian of creating job security with the endless views of the past, he insists it is imperative based on the philosophy, science, and new materials of the age. History, according to Marwick, must be for everyone and not remain locked behind the walls of academia.52. The author mentions the bumper sticker in order to ________.A. show his own opinion about historyB. introduce the readers to MarwickC. explain the freedom of understanding historyD. make the readers know about the argument between historians53. Which of the following best describes the statement “History never stands still”?A. Marwick explains the changes in the way history is done up to the present.B. Marwick connects history with advances in the physical sciences.C. He ends the book with a refreshing collection of aphorisms about history.D. The shape and content of history vary according to the methods and materials available.54. In paragraph 3, Marwick gives the example of dropping a ball in a vacuum to prove ________.A. the changeable nature of historyB. the difficulty of historical studyC. changeable ways of historical studyD. the difficulty of scientific study55. The text is intended to ________.A. state a historian’s ideasB. argue against a historianC. attract readers to study historyD. describe the story of a historianDA recent report says we spend an average of two hours and 40 minutes each day looking at a smartphone. That doesn't mean making calls, but using apps and browsing the Web.Spend that amount of time staring at anything. Checked our email in a restaurant, shared a picture of the food when it arrived, or checked a fact during a conversation only to be drawn into reading more instead of contributing verbally. It's no secret our lives are being affected by our obsession with smartphones.However, never before has this phenomenon been displayed so vividly as in the short YouTube film I Forgot My Phone. Despite only being online for a few days, it's already been viewed more than 10. 5 million times.Ironically, YouTube's statistics show that the site gets a billion views per day from mobile devices, so a lot of those people watched it on their phone.The short film, written by and starring actress Charlene deGuzrnan, shows groups of people in various social situations, the majority of which are completely attracted by their phones instead of the world around them. It's depressing because we' ve all seen it, and sad because to a certain extent, we all do it.32. What did the author think of looking at a smartphone?A. Supporting.B. Surprising .C. Relaxing.D. Concerning.33. Which of the following can best replace the phrase "obsession with" in paragraph 2?A. contribution toB. addiction toC. boredom byD. annoyance about34. Staring at smart phones for a long time, we may ．A. communicate less with the people around usB. chat more with the people onlineC. enrich more knowledgeD .see more films online35．By mentioning the YouTube's statistics, the author wants toA. criticize the people who watched the You Tube filmB. think highly of the YouTube film's popularityC. inspect the people who watched the You Tube filmD. confirm the YouTube film's realitv第二节（七选五共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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
高三英语寒假作业及答案
高三英语寒假作业及答案2016年高三英语寒假作业及答案在假期的尾声，店铺为大家整理了关于高三英语的寒假作业及答案，希望对高三的同学们有所帮助!第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)(A)Eating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露)to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风)within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物)were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好)quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutantsmay not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.21. The text mainly discusses the relationship between ______ .A. heart problems and air qualityB. heart problems and exercisingC. heart problems and smokingD. heart problems and fatty food22. The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______ .A. relatively highB. extremely lowC. relatively lowD. extremely high23. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to _______.A.describeB. persuadeC. informD. entertain(B)Deserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks' time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive (存活)if the rain is spread throughout the year, If it falls within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a seamore than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing –-very, very slowly ---as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.24. Many plants may survive in deserts when__________________.A. it is dry all the year roundB. the rain falls only in a few weeksC. there is little rain in a yearD. the rain is spread out in a year25. Sand dunes are formed when___________________.A. sand piles up graduallyB. there is plenty of rain in a yearC. the sea has dried up over the yearsD. pieces of rock get smaller26. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means that in a desert there is____________.A. too much sandB. more sand than beforeC. nothing except sandD. something else besides sand27 It can be learned from the text that in a desert____________.A. there is no rainfall throughout the yearB. life exists in rough conditionsC. all sand dunes are a few feet highD. rocks are worn away only by wind and heat(C)International Studies (BA)Key features•Recognizes the “global community”(国际社会)• Has close connections with practical research• Much of the teaching is done in small discussion groupsAbout the courseThe course gives you chances to know great power politics between nation states. It will provide more space to study particular issues such as relationship among countries in the European Union, third world debt, local and international disagreement, and the work of such international bodies as the United Nations, the European Union, NATO, and the World Bank.The course puts theories into the working of the international system with close attention to particular countries. You will also have a better knowledge of methods of solving the international problems.[Z-X-X-K]Related (相关的) courses●BA (Hons) Community Management ● BA (Hons) Public Policy and ManagementEmployment possibilities●International organizations ● International business[Z-X-X-K]Earth Science (BSc)Key features• Based on key courses and the latest research findings•Pays much attention to practical skills•Offers chances for fieldwork(实地考察)About the courseThe demand for natural resources is becoming anincreasingly serious problem for the future of mankind. Graduates in Earth Science will play an important role in meeting this demand, and in knowing the meaning of using the natural resources.The course covers geography and geology. You will carry out fieldwork in the UK and possibly overseas, and a research in an area of interest to you in the final year.Related coursesBSc (Hons) Geography; BSc (Hons) GeologyEmployment possibilitiesMineral , oil, water or other related engineering industries.28. International Studies is a course in _______A. international politicsB. international businessC. international systemsD. international bodies29. After taking the course of International Studies, the students will _______.A. become practical and open-mindedB. have a greater ability to discuss theoriesC. know how to settle international problemsD. have good jobs in any international organizations30. Earth Science, as described in the second text, ______.A. is attractive because of the chances for fieldworkB. pays more attention to practical skills than theoriesC. is built on important courses and the results of recent studiesD. encourages students to play a role in using natural resources31. It can be inferred that the above two texts are written for the students who _______.A. enjoy research workB. plan to choose coursesC. study in the UKD. are interested in overseas fieldwork(D)Thinking is something you choose to do as a fish choose to live in water. To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical(判断性的) thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes(过程). Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.The word “critical” here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen—beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today’s world: fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence(智力), you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein, Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, “Please go slowly. I don’t understand things quickly.”32. Critical thinking is important to us because if we do notthink critically, ______.A. it will be hard for us to think naturally and fastB. we might be c ontrolled by other people’s ideasC. we will follow the ideas of others naturallyD. we might be fooled by other people’s ideas33. If you are a critical thinker, you will ______.A. think deeply about different ideasB. trust the reports in the newspapersC. take one view against another viewD. criticize other people for their mistakes下载文档润稿写作咨询。

Finally, he said, “And Mr. Lincoln was a very good shop assistant, too.”People burst into laughter, but they quieted down when Mr. Lincoln said calmly, “Gentleman, what Mr. Douglas has said is true. I did sell cotton, candles and cigars, and sometimes whisky. But I remember that in those days Mr. Douglas was one of my best buyers.

AKatie was in big trouble．She was such a sweet kid; a third - grade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katie’s she was never ever a discipline （纪律）problem．I just couldn't imagine why she had made her parents so angry． It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom．Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch． They assumed a sit - down with Katie would solve the problem, but failed．So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.So the next day, I asked Katie to my office．"Why are you charging lunches, Katie? What happened to your homemade lunch?" I asked． "I lose it," she responded． I leaned back in my chair and said, "I don't believe you, Katie．" She didn't care．"Is someone stealing your lunch, Katie?" I took a new track． "No．I just lose it," she said．Well, there was nothing else I could do．The problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table． He always looked sad．I thought I would go and sit with him for a while．As I walked towards him, I noticed the lunch bag on the table． The name on the bag said " Katie " ．Now I understood and I talked to Katie．It seemed that the new boy never brought a lunch, and he wouldn't go to the lunch line for a free lunch．He had told Katie his secret and asked her not to tell anyone that his parents wanted him to get a free lunch at school． Katie asked me not to tell her parents, but I drove to her house that evening after I was sure that she was in bed． I had never seen parentsso proud of their child．Katie didn't care that her parents and teacher were disappointed in her．But she cared about a little boy who was hungry and scared．Katie still buys lunch every day at school． And every day, as she heads out of the door, her mom hands her a delicious homemade lunch．46．What did the author think of Katie?A．She performed well at school． B．She was a girl filled with love．C．She often made trouble at school． D．She used to be a discipline problem．47．Why did Katie eat school lunch instead of her homemade lunch every day? A．She lost her homemade lunch．B．She had her homemade lunch stolen．C．She didn't like the taste of her homemade lunch．D．She gave her homemade lunch to a hungry boy．48．What was Katie's parents' reaction to the truth about the lunch?A．They were very angry． B．They were proud of Katie．C．They were disappointed． D．They were rather upset．49．What can we learn from the passage?A．Katie was informed that her parents had known her secret．B．Katie told the author the truth of her lunch during their first talk．C．Katie's secret of lunch was discovered by the author by accident．D．Katie stopped buying lunch at school after her secret was discovered．BMany of the world’s countries have reached or are approaching zero population growth (ZPG)．Nearly all such lands are economically well developed．They include much of Europe(including Russia)，the United States，Canada，Japan．and Australia．As the rate of natural increase(RNI)declines，two things happen．First，the population begins to decline if the loss is not balanced by immigration．Second，a country’s population ages because there are fewer births．Is achieving ZPG good or bad? What happens when a country’s population begins to drop? Many people，after all，believe that population decline is a good thing．Butis it good for everyone? Does everyone agree?An aging population can create many problems．Senior citizens require more health care and medical attention．Rather than paying into retirement programs，they begin to draw from their pensions．In the US，the Social Security program，according to many experts，will be used up by 2018．It will pay out more money than it takes in．Additionally, a great number of jobs go begging in search of people willing or entry level positions that pay low wages．With an able to do them．Many of these jobs are aging population，who will fill them? At the other extreme，some positions require a large number of training and highly specialized skills．Who will fill these positions as retirees leave the workforce?The answer to the problem of declining and aging population is simple：increased migration．Today many people，particularly those from less developed countries，are migrating in search of employment．Many are willing to take jobs that cannot(or will not) be filled by the domestic population．Others are well educated and highly skilled．Both groups contribute to a country’s economy progress in many ways．Further, they add to the richness of a country’s culture．Of greatest importance，perhaps，is the fact that they have become absolutely necessary to the economy of many lands．As you can see，for many countries and for most immigrants，migration is a win—win situation．32．In the writer’s view，which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Not everyone agrees that achieving ZPG is absolutely good．B．Achieving ZPG is every country’s aim in spite of its side effects．C．Achieving ZPG is bad for senior citizens．D．Achieving ZPG is good for employment．33．According to the passage，the best way to solve the problem of declining and aging population is ．A．to improve the health care system B．to increase RNIC．to increase employment D．to increase migration34．The underlined words “the domestic population’’ can be replaced by．A．people within the country B．people from developing countriesC．people without a college education D．people living abroad35．The main idea of the last paragraph is .A．the advantages of increased migrationB．the problem of declining and aging populationC．how to increase migrationD．some ways to enrich a country’s cultureCNowadays many people are concerned about the problem of what to do with electronic waste such as old televisions, computers, radios, cellular telephones and other electronic equipment.Electronic trash, or e-waste, is piling up faster than ever in American homes and businesses. People do not know what to do with old televisions or computers so they throw them in the trash.National Solid Waste Management Association (NSWMA) state programs director Chaz Miller says the large amount of electronic waste Americans product is not unexpected.The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills (垃圾填埋场) and create recycling programs. They can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts. Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore says, “There are lots of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just putting them in the landfill, and in certain components there are some materials that should not really be in the landfill. ”Fannon says nearly 20 percent of electronic waste is recycled nationwide. Thirteen years ago, it was only about 6 percent. Recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from landfills in order to keep e-waste poisons like lead (铅) and mercury (汞) out of garbage dumps.This year several states like Vermont imposed a ban on electronic waste in landfills. More than 25 other states have also adopted bans on e-waste in landfills.Chaz Miller says more can be done to boost electronic waste recycling.“We can do much better,” noted Miller. “I think clearly our goal should be to do as well as we do recycling newspapers.”32. Which of the following does NOT belong to e-waste?A. Old televisions.B. Old computers.C. Old cell phones.D. Old newspapers.33. Why is e-waste banned from landfills in many states?A. Because it can not be recycled.B. Because the landfills are already full.C. Because it might damage the environment.D. Because it can be shipped to other countries.34. According to Mike Fannon, what might be the best way of dealing with e-waste?A. Recycling it.B. Selling it.C. Burying it.D. Breaking it.35. What can we learn from the passage?A. Chaz Miller works for EPA.B. Miller is optimistic about the future of e-waste.C. At present, less than 10 percent of e-waste is recycled.D. All states in the US have banned e-waste from landfills.DHave you eve r heard the saying “All roads lead to Rome”? At one time, this was pretty much true. During the Roman Empire, lots of roads were built in order to move armies, send messages by courier (信使), and make trade easier.The network of Roman roads was begun in 312 BC. It was demanded that the roads be built strong so that they would not fall down. Roman soldiers, supervised (监督) by engineers, laid down the roads in a special pattern of layers. There were all together 4 layers, which was made of different materials, such as sand, rocks, stones and so on.Also, Roman roads were cambered(拱形). This means that they were built higherin the middle than on the edges, allowing rainwater to run off, which prevented flooding. We use the same technique in building roads today. The Romans also laid out roads over hills when necessary, setting them down in a zigzag (之字形的)pattern to make the road rise gradually.All Roman roads had milestones (里程碑), placed every thousand paces (a Roman mile). The milestones told when the road was built, who was emperor at the time, the road’s destination, how far the traveler was from the destination, and how many miles had been traveled since the beginning of the road. This information was a great help to travelers.Because of their excellence in construction, it really is no surprise that many parts of Roman road still exist today. These roadways are one of the most impressive achievements of the Roman Empire.21. The following description about Roman roads is true EXCEPT _____.A. Roman roads were built by the Roman soldiers directed by the engineersB. Roman roads could prevent flooding using the technique we don’t use todayC. Roman roads had milestones that were placed every Roman mileD .Roman roads still exist today as an impressive achievement of Roman Empire22. What information can you find on the milestones?A. The builders of the road.B. The materials used in building roads.C. The distance from one city.D. The time spent in building roads.23. The passage mainly ______.A. explains the saying “All roads lead to Rome”B. praises ancient Romans for their great achievementsC. shows how great the Roman Empire wasD. introduces the construction of the Roman roads第二节（七选五共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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside said. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hope. The cupboards in her kitchen were full of things which she did not need. It's no use her husband trying to stop her. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would come to her and said: "Madam, this is your lucky day. Everything in your basket is free."One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She ran back to the supermarket, got the tea and went to pay for it. As she did so, she saw the manager come up to her. "Madam," he said, holding out his hand, "I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free."。
