My boss ca lled it “extremely embarrassing” in a company-wide e-mail, which he wrote because he felt he needed to ex plain that what I did was something 41 in the company should ever do.I wish I could give a good excuse for what I did. At the very least, I wishI could 42 it somehow —43 it on youth, inexperience or ignorance. Unfortunately, I’m 44 , experienced and I know better.45 I work with some very kind people. For the past couple of days many of them have taken time to 46 by my desk and offer comfort, encouragement and support. Some have shared with me similar 47 they have made. Evidently I’m not the only “ 48 ” person here.One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois, the much-honored, much-respected professional who 49 the desk right next to mine. Lois was completely 50 about her work, and to be honest I was a little 51 about how she would 52 _to such an extremely embarrassing incident.As I expected, Lois mentioned the 53 when she saw me the next day. She mentioned it directly, 54 with empathetic(感同身受的) consideration. She listened to my 55 . Just as I was ready to express my regrets, she brought my self-pity to a(n) 56 .“It happened”, she said, “There’s nothing you can do to 57 that. It happened. But i t’s over now. It’s 58 . It’s in the past. You need to letit go, and move on.” And with that she returned her 59 to her work, as if to say, “We’re done here.”I beat myself up for weeks. At such times I need to remember those 60 words: It’s over. It’s done. Let it go. And mostly, move on.41. A. someone B. anyone C. no one D. the one42. A. forget B. express C. pour D. explain43.

Pretty soon, they could be making your bed and breakfast too. Increasingly, engineers are saying that robots are going to move out of research departments and into your home. Companies including General Electric are working on designs for small ro bots. Products like the Roomba, a robot thatcan clean floors, are flying off the shelves.What’s behind this new robot revolution? It’s partly a matter of technology. Devices that can recognize and respond to a human voice have been developed. There are now a few different ways for robots to move around. They can walk, crawl or ride on wheels. Robots are being made smaller and smaller. They are also becoming more and more able.A bigger part of the story is on the demand side. From the day the television remote control was invented, people around the world have searched for new ways to be lazy. Take into consideration that more and more people can afford robots, and the time seems ripe to introduce robots to the ordinary family.To be sure, robots that walk on two legs and talk like people are still a long way off. However, robots that do basic housework such as cleaning or gardening are sure to come out soon. One thing is certain—when these robots do come into our homes, it will change things forever.61. The underlined p art “flying off the shelves” in the second paragraph means________.A. Selling well.B. Cleaning the shelves smartly.C. Flying freelyD. Dropping onto the floor62.Which plays a more important role in revolutionizing the robot?A. Science and technology.B. Rapid development of companies.C. Effective marketing means.D. Great demand from the buyers.63. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Robots have already come into every home.B. Technology is the only basis of the development of robots.C. General Electric is not interested in designing small robots.D. Robots that can walk on two legs and talk like people are still far from us.BHere’s this week’s list of four open jobs throughout the local area.

But three graduate students at BrownUniversity in Providence built a company around sleep deprivation(睡眠不足).Jason Donahue, Ben Rubin and Eric Shashoua were working late nights inBrown’s business and engineering schools.They began thinking about ways tosleep better. They discovered they weren’t alone in burning the midnight oil.Around 20% of Americans get less than six hours of rest a night.The friends imagined a smart alarm clock that could track how much timepeople spend in the most restorative(有恢复作用的) stages of the sleep cycle:REM (rapid eye movement) and deep sleep. What would it cost to design such athing? Five years of research, 20 employees, $14 million and a whole lot ofdoubting from investors and scientists.Their company, Zeo, based in Newton, Mass, launched its product in June,2009. The Zeo device uses a headband with tiny sensors(传感器) that scan yourbrain for signs of four sleep states-REM, light, deep and waking sleep. The smart alarm clock displays a graph of your sleep pattern and wakes you as you’re not in REM sleep. In the morning you can upload the data to the company’s Web site, and so track your sleep over time. Most of the feedback(反馈) comes in the form of Zeo’s ZQ score showing how well you’v e slept.“Zeo allows people to unlock this black box of sleep,” says Dave Dickinson, a health-care CEO.Whether any of this actually improves sleep is up to the consumer, who will also need to make lifestyle changes like cutting out alcohol before bedtime or caffeine after 3 P.M.For now the company is sel ling Zeo online only. Dickinson also plans to spread it to countries such as Australia, where sleep deprivation approaches US levels.68. Who will support Zeo?A. People full of imagination.B. People suffering sleepingproblems.C. People having access to the Internet.D. People havingbad lifestyles.69. Why did the three graduate students imagine a smart alarm clock?A. To wake them up on time in the morning.B. To earn enough money for their study.C. To improve the quality of peo ple’s sleep.D. To enjoy their life while working at night.70. To design the Zeo device, the three graduate students ____.A. spent much time and moneyB. were widely supported byscientistsC. worked by themselves all the timeD. attracted many investors71. What c an we know from the passage?A. Zeo has a direct effect on users’ lifestyles.B. It needs more personal efforts to make Zeo function better.C. A large quantity of Zeo devices have been sold in Australia.D. Consumers can go to the Zeo company to purchase Zeo in person.DSome people seem easy to understand: their character appears obvious on first meeting. Appearances, however, can be deceptive. I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right. For my own part I find that the longer I know people, the more they puzzle me.I read in this morning’s paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died. He was a businessman and he had been in business in Japan for many years. Once he gave me a great surprise. Unless I had heard the story from his own lips, I’d never have believed that he was capable of such an action. He was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and position. He didn’t talk much, but what he said was sensible. You couldn’t imagine he’d possibly raise his voice in anger. Here was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for his fellows. He’d tell with point a good and sp icy story, and in his youth he’d been something of an athlete. He was a rich man and he’d made every penny himself. I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so weak; he aroused your instincts(本能) of protection. You felt he couldn’t bear to hurt a fly.One afternoon Burton told me a “funny” story in a quiet, dry humour:“There was a namesake(同名人) of mine, who was the best bridge player I ever met. He seemed to have a fantastic instinct about the cards. He won a good deal of my money by card-playing.”“One day he came to me when he lost all his fortune. He came to see me in my office and asked me for a job. I asked him how old he was.”“ ‘Thirty-five’, he said.”“ ‘And what have you been doing ever since ?’ I asked him.”“ ‘Well, nothing very much.’ he said.”“ ‘I’m afraid I can’t do anything for you just yet’ I said. ‘Come back and see me in another thirty-five years, and I’ll see what I can do.’ ”“He didn’t move. He went rather pale. He hesitated for a moment and then he told me that he had had bad luck at cards for some time. He lost everything he had. He hadn’t a penny. He was down and out. If he couldn’t get something to do he’d not survive.”“I looked at him for a bit. I could see now that he was all to pieces. He’d been drinking more than usual and he looked fifty.”“Suddenly I had an idea.” Pausing in his story, Burton turned to me. “When I was young I swam over three miles round the beacon(灯塔) and landed at the river of Tarumi. It’s rather difficult on account of the currents r ound the beacon. Well, I told my young fellow about it and I said that if he’d do it I’d give him a job.”“I could see he was rather surprised. He was not in good condition for sports. He looked at me for a moment and then he nodded.”“I told him I’d drive round to the river at half past twelve and meet him.”“ ‘Done,’ he said.”“I wished him good luck and he left me. I had a lot of work to do that morning and I only just managed to get to the river Tarumi at half past twelve. But I needn’t have hurried; he never turned up.”“Did he fear it at the last moment?” I asked.“No, he didn’t fear it. He started all right. But of course he’d ruined his constitution(体质) by drink. The currents round the beacon were more than he could manage. We didn’t get the body for about three days.”I didn’t say anything for a moment or two. I was rather shocked. Then Iasked.“When you made him that offer of a job, did you know he’d be drowned?”He looked at me with his kind blue eyes, smiling. “Well, I hadn’t got a position in my office at the moment.”72. The underlined word “deceptive” may mean .A. puzzlingB. misleadingC. complexD. impressive73. For some time, Edward Burton impressed the author most with his .A. age and positionB. wealth and abilityC. sensibility and humorD. kindness and weakness74. We can infer from Burton’s story that his namesake .A. never saw through his trickB. annoyed him by playing cardsC. could not do any job wellD. intended to cheat him with a lie75. We learned from the story that Edward Burton .A. knew the young man would kill himselfB. arranged the end of his namesake’s lifeC. did much for the poor fellowmanD. killed his card-friend by mistake76. Edward Burton could be described as a(n) person.A. innocentB. smartC. carelessD. cruel2016秋高二英语阅读训练841-45 CDBBA 46-50 BDCDB 51-55 AAACD 56-60 CDBAC 61-63 ADD 64-67 BCCA 68-71 BCAB 72-76 BDABD。

A nicely dressed little girl was excitedly looking through the Barbie dolls as well. As she was looking, a little boy came to the Pokemon toys. He was dressed neatly, but his clothes were obviously old. He was with his father as well, and kept picking up the Pokemon video toys. Each time he picked one up and looked at his father, his father shook his head and said, “No.”The little girl had chosen her Barbie. However, she stopped and was watching them. Rather dejectedly, the boy had to give up the Pokemon toys and choose something else. The little girl put her Barbie back on the shelf, and ran over to the Pokemon toys. She excitedly picked up one and raced towards the checkout. I picked up my purchases and got in line behind them. Then, much to the little girl’s deligh t, the little boy and his father got in line behind me. After the toy was paid for and bagged, the little girl handed it back to the cashier (收银员) and whispered something in her ear. The casher smiled and put the package under the counter.I paid for my purchases and was rearranging things when the little boy came up to the cashier. The cashier checked his purchases and said, “Congratulations, you are my hundredth customer today, and you win a prize!” With that, she handed the little boy the Pokemon toys, and he could only stare in surprise. It was exactly what he had wanted!The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway during all ofthis. Then they walked out. As I walked back to my car, I heard the father ask his daughter why she had don e that. I’ll never forget what she said to him. “Daddy, didn’t Grandparents want me to buy something that would make me happy?” He said, “Of course they did, honey.” To which the little girl replied, “Well, I just did!”I feel very shocked to have witnessed the true spirit of Christmas in that toy store, in the form of a little girl who understands more about the meaning of this festival than most adults I know.56.

Background noise hardly affects the sound and recording from a pocket is perfectly possible, but it doesn’t turn off automatically.Tape length: 30minutes per side. Weight: 240g.Sony M9 $49.95Small and very good loo king, Sony’s latest offering scored most for its appearance. Sounds clear, but there is slight machine noise. The big control buttons are a great improvement on some of the complicated little controls on other tape-recorders. It doesn’t switch off automati cally, but a red light shows if the machine is still running.Tape length: 60minutes per side. Weight: 195g.Sony M400 $115Lots of little control buttons that make a noise are difficult to use. Recording is good but machine noise loses points. Tape counter and automatic switch-off when tape has finished recording or rewinding are useful.Tape length: 60 minutes per side. Weight: 230g.Imperial OEM MC7 $ 29.95Cheap and simple compared with the rest, but recording is good as long as there is no background noise. Use only its own-make of cassette. No light to show it is on; no fast-forward button and the record button makes a loud noise.Tape length: 30 minutes per side. Weight: 285g.Philips 585 $80Handsome and simple to use, but recording is very poor at more than the recommended distance of 5 cm-designed for dictation. No recording light.Tape length: 15 minutes per side. Weight: 220g.60. The machine that produces the best recording with the least unwanted noise is _____.A. Pearlcorder S 702B. Sony M9C. Sony M400D.

No light shows when it is on.B. It requires a special cassette.C. It picks up background noise .D. The record button makes a noise.CToday’s children are the “result” of the modern society. Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They only have a free day in a week. This doesn’t allow them to keep an ey e on their children.On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could “handle”. As a child, you don’t know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age. That is why you need school and parents to be by your side all the time. If you don’t have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes. The social system of the modern society is very lenient especially with the children.Most of the children today are rebels (判逆者). They are rude. They are given too much freedom by their families. This is their parent’s mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood.For example it is a bad thing for a 17 –year –old child to go out in the evening on weekends. Parents are also guilty of the way their children show up in the street or at school. The same guilt belongs to the teaching system as well. Pupils shouldn’t be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school.Another important fact we can think of regarding the freedom of children is their free will of spending money. Parents shouldn’t allow their children to spend money on whatever they want.I think children are given too much freedom not only by their parents, but also by the society. The latter is more to be blamed!64．The writer implies that parents’ busy lifestyle .A．makes their children become independentB．may lead to a tense parent – child relationshipC．is harmful to their children’s healthD．is likely to create a troubled generation65．What does the underlined word “lenient” (in Para 2) mean?A．Not responsible B．Not strict. C．Unkind. D．Unfair.66．It seems that the writer agrees that students .A．should stay at home on weekendsB．can wear trendy clothes at schoolC．had better wear school uniform at schoolD．can be allowed to go out in the evenings67．According to the writer, which of the following takes the primary responsibility for children’s problems?A．The social environment. B．The educational system.C．Each family. D．The school.DThe English test will be removed from China’s college entrance exam by 2020, according to details of exam and admission reform revealed by the Ministry of Education. The national college entrance exam, known as the “Gaokao” has been use d to evaluate Chinese students for three decades. The Ministry of Education has worked out a plan for reforming exams and enrollment. The Ministry will solicit(征求) public opinions before its release. Instead, tests will be held several times a year to allow students to choose when and how often they sit the exam so as to alleviate study pressure and change China’s once-in-a-lifetime exam system.The plan and suggestions for its implementation will be announced in the first half of next year. It will be piloted in selected provinces and cities and promoted nationwide from 2017. A new exam and admission system will be established by 2020, according to the education ministry.The decision has aroused a heated discussion among Shanghai educators and parents who doubted the reform would reduce the burden of learning English or if the substitute test could reflect a student’s English skills and help students learn English better.“The reform shows China is learning from the West to give students more test-taking chances. But more chances might become more of a burden since Chinese students are likely to repeat the test until they get the highest score,” said Cai Jigang, a professor at Fudan University’s College of Foreign Languages and Literature and chairman of the Shanghai Advisory Committee for College English Teaching at Tertiary Level.Yu Lizhong, chancellor of New York University Shanghai, where classes are in English and students are required to have a high standard of English, said the most important aspect of the reform lay in what to test and how to test.“ As far as I see, the reform doesn’t mean English is no longer important for Chinese students after it will be excluded from the unified college entrance exam,” Yu said. “In a way, English is even more important than before since the test would only serve as reference, while every college and university, even every major, can have different requirements of a student’s English skills under a diverse evaluation system. ”Yu said some students will have their study pressure reduced if the major they choose doesn’t need excellent English while others still need to study hard if they want to be among the best students.The education ministry said the reform would not affect students attending the college entrance exam over the next three years.68. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. English will become less and less important in the stage of compulsory education.B. It has been 30 years since English became one subject of national college entrance exam.C. China’s once-in-a-lifetime exam system is unacceptable at all.D. The system that tests are held several times does more good than once-in-a-lifetime exam system.69. According to the passage, Shanghai educators and parents argue that _____.A. the new exam and admission system will make no differenceB. English shouldn’t be removed from China’s college entrance examC. the reform may accomplish the very oppositeD. Western educational system does not apply to China70. What does the passage try to express in the underlined sentence?A. Students needn’t lay a good foundation during the period of high school.B. Whether students should study hard English may depend on their major.C. Students can constantly strive for perfection only in their major.D. English must be close to full mark.71. What’s the purpose of the passage?A. To advise students not to devote themselves to English.B. To call on Education Department to remove English from “Gaokao”.C. To support the act of Ministry of Education.D. To encourage students to do as they have planned.EIt’s the place where smart people make smart machines work even smarter. It’s also in the heart of sunny California, a great place to start a family and raise kids. What could be better?But something is happening to their children. Up until the age of two they develop normally. But then everything seems to go backwards. The children become locked into their own small world, unable to communicate at all.They call it th e “curse(诅咒)of Silicon Valley,” but the medical name for the condition is autism(自闭症). It used to be thought that autism was a kind of mental illness. Now doctors are sure that it is a neurological disease transmitted genetically. It seems that the people leading the communications revolution are having children who cannot communicate at all.But even the parents have trouble communicating. Asperger’s Syndrome is a mild version of autism. People who have it are highly intelligent and often brilliant with numbers or system but have no social skill. This very combination of symptoms makes Asperger’s sufferers into ideal computer professionals.The Asperger’s sufferer has always been a well—known figure in popular culture. He or she was the eccentric but dedicated scholar or the strange uncle or auntie who never married. But the high numbers of such people in Silicon Valley mean that they can meet others who understand them and share their interests. And while they might not be personally attractive, they can earn truly attractive amounts of money. They can get married and have kids. Unfortunately, many of the children of two Asperger’s parents seem to be developing serious autism.There is little anyone can do. It takes hours of work just to make autistic child realize that anyone else exists. And there is no cure in sight. Some argue that no cure should be found. “It may be that autistics are essentially different from normalpeople, but that these differences make them invaluable for the evolution of the human race,” says Dr. Kirk Whilhelmsen of the University of California. “To eliminate the genes for autism could be disastrous. ”It seems that the children of Silicon Valley are paying the price of genius.72. What does Dr Kirk Whilhelmsen think of autism?A. It is disastrous to society.B. It is not completely a bad thing.C. It is a punishment to those working in Silicon Valley.D. People with autism should never marry.73. What can we learn about autism according to the passage?A. It is believed to be a king of mental illness that can be cured.B. People with autism can’t find people sharing their interests.C. They do not care about the presence of others.D. They are a burden for the society.74. Why do people call autism “curse of Silicon Valley”？A. Because autistic people live in Silicon Valley.B. Because many people working in Silicon Valley have autism children.C. Because people with autism will be driven out of Silicon Valley.D. Because people with autism are not personally attractive and not liked by others.75. What can we know about Asperger’s Syndrome according to the passage?A. Asperger’s sufferers are ideal computer professionals.B. Asperger’s sufferers never get married and have children.C. Asperger’s sufferers are ashamed of themselves and locked into their own world.D. Asperger’s sufferers can be beneficial to society if they are cured.2016秋高二英语阅读训练136—40 DABAD 41--45CABAD 46—50DCBCD 51—55ABDAB 56 ADAC 60 ACBD 64 DBCA 68 DCBC 72 BCBA。

AWhen four-year-old Finlay suffered a stroke as a baby and developed cerebral palsy, a disease usually caused by brain damage, doctors said he’d have to stay in a wheelchair in his entire life. But amazingly, he has managed to prove them all wrong with the help of a young duck.Finlay’s breakthrough came when his mother Becci, 29, took in a tiny yellow duck named Ming-Ming, after a farmer friend told her it was going to be killed because of its injured leg.“When Ming-Ming lay down or sat down, his leg was right up near his head and he was unable to walk,”Becci explains. “I was trying to find a vet who knew about ducks. At first I didn’t think he’d make it—I felt very sorry. ”After an extensive search, Becci found a suitable vet, who fitted the young duck with a tiny splint(夹板).It began to move around the house as its leg strengthened.As the little duck made an amazing recovery, something else like a miracle occurred. Young Finlay whose condition affected his brain’s ability to send signals to his body was so impressed by his new pet’s progress that he began copying his steps, saying, “I walk like the duck, Mummy. ”Becci was so overjoyed that she couldn’t believe her eyes. “Finlay has been having physical therapy his whole life but he never really responded until we got the duckling,”she says. “As soon as Ming-Ming began walking, so did Finlay. I was full of pride. ”Now Finlay can walk five meters at a time with the help of a walker and he loves walking slowly with his best friend. “Finlay is now much stronger and it’s great to see him walking. I’ve told him that if he works hard, one day he’ll be able to take Ming-Ming for walks on the street. That is what he’s really working towards,”Becci says, smiling. “I’d been told Finlay might never be able to walk. It’s amazing to watch my child taking steps gradually thanks to Ming-Ming. ”21. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Family finds much hope from raising ducksB. A little duck teaches a disabled boy to walkC. A duck is found to be a good doctorD. Friendship between a duck and a boy22. What can we infer from the passage?A. It was the farmer’s fault that Ming-Ming was injured.B. Ming-Ming would have been killed without the vet.C. It cost Becci much money to save the duck.D. Becci is a kind and warmhearted woman.23. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Finlay kept taking daily walks with Ming-Ming on the street.B. Finlay got Ming-Ming as his 4-year-old birthday present.C. In doctors’opinion, Finlay would have a short life.D. The little duck became Finlay’s best friend.24. What do we learn from the passage?A. Health is better than wealth.B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.C. Better late than never.D. Nothing is impossible.BTerribly hot weather,pouring downpours... Scientists have long suspected that global warming can cause extreme weather events. Now experts have numbers to support that idea.The burning of fossil fuels has been leading to a buildup of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere. This CO2 is a greenhouse gas. That means it can trap heat in the air. As a result, our planet’s temperature has been rising. And this global warming will account for a growing share of ever more frequent extreme weather events.Many governments hope to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius(摄氏度) above temperatures. It will be hard for nations to achieve that. But even if they do, global warming still will be responsible for nearly all heat extremes. Global warming also will be to blame for about 2 out of every 5 extreme rains and snowfalls. “This is a big number of major weather events,’’says climate scientist Peter Stott.Erich Fischer and Reto Knutti analyzed 25 different computer models of global climate. These analyses looked at different climate periods, from preindustrial times to the present. The analyses also predicted what weather events were likely to be like in the future. This period was predicted to be warmer by 2 and 3 degrees Celsius.The computer looked at when extreme heat and precipitation(冰雹) occurred during each climate period. It focused on events of unusual heat or heavy precipitation. Before the Industrial Revolution, such extremes typically would have occurred only once in every 1,000 days.“But since the globe has been warming, such extremes are no longer nearly as rare. These new findings provide a global statement,”Fischer says.“You can still get the biggest heat that you have ever seen without any human changes.”25. The second paragraph is mainly about .A. what a greenhouse gas refers toB. how the global warming came into beingC. where the global warming is becoming seriousD. why fossil fuels have to be forbidden26. What Peter said in Para. 3 suggests that .A. it is impossible for climate change to happenB. there is no serious effect of the global warming nowC. the influence of the global warming is greatD. the extreme weather happens in small numbers27. According to the passage,extreme weather .A. will happen more often than beforeB. happens once in every 1,000 days nowC. happens every region without differencesD. has become a rare situation around the worldC“Can I get a light?”This question is among the most common between smokers. What if this question was to come from an unusual source? In April 2014, the National Health Promotion Foundation uploaded an antismoking advertisement onto YouTube. The anti-smoking ad has quickly been known as the “most powerful anti-smoking ad”.The anti-smoking video, called the “Smoking Kid”, features children walking up to adult smokers asking for a light. The children in the ad are actors but the adults smoking are unsuspecting participants in the project.The video begins with the statement “adults know that smoking is harmful, but don’t remind themselves of this fact”. Once a “smoking kid”approached the adults, every adult asked was shocked that a child with a cigarette in his hand was asking for a light. The first adult started by saying, “I’m not giving it to you,”and the video goes on to state “every adult filmed said no and reminded the children that smoking is bad.”Before going away, the kid handed each adult a booklet after being turned down for a light. The booklet says, “You worry about me, but why not about yourself?”Each adult looked around for the child as their faces were filled with confusion and discomfort.The video shows that a few of the smokers quickly threw away their cigarettes or put their cigarettes away, showing that this experiment was effective at that moment.The most influential element in the ad isn't the use of children or the responses from the smoking adults. It comes down to something much simpler than that. Why is it that we worry about other people, forgetting to worry about ourselves?28. The underlined word “unsuspecting”(in Para. 2) probably means “__”.A. uninformedB. unwillingC. unfortunateD. unacceptable29. What are the adults’reactions to the children asking for a light?A. They pay no attention to children’s request.B. They reject kids’request and educate them.C. They look around for children’s parents.D. They quickly throw children’s cigarettes away.30. According to the last but one paragraph, the anti-smoking ad is _____.A. unusualB. shockingC. influentialD. encouraging31. The purpose of this passage is to ____________.A. advice people to give up smokingB. advice adults to keep away from smokingC. advice parents to tell their children not to smokeD. reject a child asking for a lightDElectric Underground7.30pm―1.00am Free at the Cyclops TheatreDo you know who’s playing in your area?

阅读训练9完形填空On a cold winter’s night I stopped for gas on my way home from work. I was tired and had a slight 41 .I worked in a doctor’s office and this was one of those days when the unexpected happened, making the schedule run later than 42 . It seemed I was going to be late 43 home and my husband, being the punctual (准时的) person, would be ready to pronounce me late once again. Maybe 44 I hurried, I could still make it home.I was heading inside to 45 for my gas when I noticed an older couple at the counter. I heard them asking for 46 to the local hospital. It was the same hospital that I had just 47 half an hour ago.The young man at the counter was trying to be 48 in explaining how to get there, with two other people giving their own opinions. One of them was 49 trying to give them a whole different route. Just then, I walked over to the couple and said, “Would you like to follow me to the 50 ?”A look of 51 crossed the woman’s face.“I’m going right by there,” I said, which wasn’t a lie since I had just made up my mind to do 52 that.I got in my car and began the journey back. I was trying to watch to be sure they were right 53 me. It took only fifteen minutes to get there as rush hour traffic was beginning to 54 . I felt better than I had all day and my headache was nearly gone.Later, as I arrived home, my hus band joked, “So you aren’t ever late any more.”I said, “Sometimes it’s 55 to be late.”41．A. break B. fever C. cold D. headache42．A. ordinary B. common C. usual D. unique 43．A. getting B. cooking C. calling D. working44．A. as B. since C. while D. if 45．A. pay B. change C. wait D. search 46．A. opinions B. trouble C. directions D. money 47．A. reached B. visited C. called D. left 48．A. skilled B. helpful C. experienced D. active49．A. even B. still C. only D. ever 50．A. station B. office C. hospital D. hotel 51．A. panic B. relief C. sadness D. peace 52．A. partly B. properly C. exactly D. perfectly 53．A. across B. before C. beside D. behind54．A. go up B. die down C. speed up D. turn down 55．A. possible B. special C. good D. safe阅读理解AOscar the cat seems to have an unnatural ability for predicting when nursing home patients are going to die, by curling up (蜷伏) next to them during their final hours. His accuracy, observed in 25 cases, has led the staff to call family members once he has chosen someone. It usually means the patient has less than four hours to live. “Many family members take so me comfort from it. They appreciate the companionship that the cat provides for their dying loved one,” said Dosa, a doctor and assistant professor of medicine at Brown University.The 2-year-old cat was adopted as a kitten and grew up in a third-floor dementia (痴呆) unit at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, where the facilitytreats people with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease and other illnesses. After about six months, the staff noticed Oscar would make his own rounds, just like the doct ors and nurses. He’d smell and observe patients, then sit beside people who would end up dying in a few hours. Dosa said Oscar seems to take his work seriously.“Oscar is better at predicting death than the people who work here,” said Dr. Joan Teno of Brown University, who treats patients at the nursing home and is an expert on care for the terminally ill. She was convinced of Oscar’s talent when he made his 13th correct call. While observing one patient, Teno said she noticed the woman wasn’t eating, was breathing with difficulty and that her legs had a bluish color, signs that often mean death is near. Oscar wouldn’t stay inside the room, though, so Teno thought his streak was broken. Instead, it turned out the doctor’s prediction was roughly 10 hours too early. Sure enough, during the patient’s final two hours, nurses told Teno that Oscar joined the woman at her bedside.Doctors say most of the people who get a visit from the sweet-faced, gray-and-white cat are so ill that they probably don’t know he’s there, so patients aren’t aware he’s a predictor of death. Most families are grateful for the advance warning.No one’s certain if Oscar’s behavior is scientifically significant or points to a cause. Teno wonders if the cat senses mysterious scents or reads something from the behavior of the nurses who raised him.56. What makes Oscar the cat so special?A. He observes the cases of dying patients.B. He curls up next to the patients.C. He calls family members to the hospital.D. He senses when patients are to die.57. The underlined words “his streak was broken”probably mean ______.A. his bones were severely injuredB. his magic power stopped workingC. his devotion to work got changedD. his friendship with patients ended58. The best title for this passage is “______”.A. Cats Can Be Used for Looking After PatientsB. Oscar, the Sweet-Faced, Gray-and-White CatC. As Death Comes Calling, So Does Oscar the CatD. Oscar the Cat, the Best Helper of the HospitalBThere are probably no people on Earth who like to gossip as much as the British. If prying into （打探）other’s lives were an Olympic sport, then Team GB would surely take the gold medal.And when the British can’t watch the lives of real people, they have anoth er source of entertainment to fall back on—the soap opera. British soap operas are very different to US TV dramas. For one, they are normally longer running. The two most popular, Coronation Street and East-enders, have been running for 48 and 24 years respectively. Both are broadcast several times a week, so remarkably there have been more than 7,000 episodes of Coronation Street.The most obvious difference is that, unlike US dramas, the British soap operas focus on the real world. There is little glamour (魅力), the stars are rarely rich, and they normally have boring jobs. Perhaps the appeal is that the lives of the characters often mirror the lives of the audience—but with some drama added. This means the viewer can relate to the characters and feel the pain and happiness they go through on the show.Because these soap operas last for decades, the cast is ever changing. The shows rarely focus on one or two main characters. Like the real world, people come and go all the time, However, there are exceptions. Coronation Street’s William Roach, 76, has played the role of Ken Barlow since the very first episode of the show in 1960, and he is still a regular.The choice of which soap opera you follow is often cultural: People from the north of British tend to watch Coronation Street as it is set in Manchester. People from the south generally prefer East-enders, which is set in the east of London. The show is generally considered grittier and is aimed at a younger audience.59. What is the main different between American dramas and British soap operas?A. American dramas are longer.B. British soap operas are longer.C. American dramas deals with dangerous things.D. British soap operas deal with real people.60. Why do British people like to watch such operas?A. They can find their own life from the operas.B. They can enjoy the operas in their free time.C. They can watch the operas for many years.D. They care about the fate of the characters in the operas.61. The underlined world “episodes” in the 2nd paragraph probably means ______.A. playsB. pagesC. issuesD. parts62. One characteristic of British operas is that ______.A. the characters play the same role for a long time.B. the characters in the play often changeC. peopl e don’t know what will happen nextD. there is only one or two characters in themCWant to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face.Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. It’s possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University.“It seems that positive feelings may reduce the danger of illness,” said the study’s chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.In this study, Cohen’s interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. Durin g the interviews, the people were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally(相等地) likely to get ill. But for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illnesses are less serious and lasted for a shorter time.Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried abut your health, look on the bright side more often.63. Which of the following was NOT a part of the study?A. People talked about their feelings every day.B. People were kept alone for six days.C. People were given colds by doctors.D. People were made to feel unhappy.64. What did the study find?A. People who felt happy never got ill.B. People’s feelings didn’t influence their health.C. People with good feelings became ill more easily.D. People with positive feelings had less serious illnesses..65. According to Cohen, which of the following may help fight illnesses?A. Eating.B. Crying.C. Laughing.D. Sleeping.66. This passage is a/an .A. advertisementB. newspaper reportC. storyD. scientist’s diaryDMr. Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot (行李箱).Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said, “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew(拧开…的螺丝) the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench(扳钳) and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled (mo ve with difficulty) as the car filled up.”His hands and arms were cut and bruised (擦伤). Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “The thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible(can be seen), police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.67. What is the best title for this newspaper article?A.The Story of Mr. Johnson, A Sweet SalesmanB.Car Boot Serve As The Best Escape RouteC.Driver Escaped Through Car BootD.The Driver Survived A Terrible Car Accident68. Which of the following objects is the most important to Mr. Johnson?A. The hammer.B. The coin.C. The screw.D. The horn.69. “Finally it gave”(Paragraph 5) means that _______________.A. luckily the door was torn away in the endB. at last the wrench went brokenC. the lock came open after all his effortsD. the chance was lost at the last minute70. It may be inferred from the passage that _________________.A. the ditch was along a quiet country roadB. the accident happened on a rainy cold dayC. Mr. Johnson’s car stood on its boot as it fell downD. the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditchEA job is more than a job，especially to the old. “It’s not the money that matters，but the sense of self-worth．”56-year-old Cbeng Wonlan said. So，every day Ms Cheng carries a bag of parcels，letters and documents and does her rounds in North Point. She’s a courier(快递员)Five years ago, Ms Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic. She had worked there for 30 years but was jobless when the doctor migrated(移居). It was difficult for her to find another job as a nurse. “People do not trust my abil ity when they learn how old I am，”she said. After two years of searching, she eventually found another nursing job. But then after two years，she quit. Why?“My colleagues didn’t understand me because of my age. They often asked me ‘You are so old. What are you working for?’ I was very unhappy” She said. So while the rest of her family left for work，she was left to lonely boredom at home .Then her neighbours told her about Employee’s Retraining Board(ERB)offering retraining courses for older people. These courses are specifically designed to encourage older people back to work..“I was interested in courier work.. I didn’t think my age was a barrier because I was fit.” She said .Upon graduating，Ms Cheng was offered a job by the Speeding Shuttle Courier Service Company. But then Ms Cheng was faced with a conflict：she was caught between honour and employment“I felt embarrassed about carrying and delivering letters and parcels.”she said. It took Ms Cheng 24 hours to make up her mind：there was nothing wrong or embarrassing about doing the job. So she went off to work as a courier．Ms Cheng’s employer is delighted with her responsible atti tude and said．“I hired older people because they were able and reliable .Age is not an important factor but attitude is. Many old people will not run from difficulties but the young ones will.”71. Why was it difficult for Ms Cheng to find another nursing Job?A. Nursing clinics were hard to findB. She found it difficult to trust othersC. People thought she was too old to workD. People didn’t think she had enough work experience72. Ms Cheng left her second nursing job because_____.A. she was bored with changeless jobsB. it was too difficultC. she was too old to do the jobD. the other staff made her feel uncomfortable73. Employee’s Retraining Board is a plan for______ .A. finding partners for older peopleB. teaching new skills to older people for them to work again.C. training older people to be healthierD. providing older people with well-paid jobs.74. We can infer from the last sentence that young people______.A. are more likely to give up than the older onesB. are less experienced than the older onesC. are stronger than the older onesD. are able and reliable75.

After about six months, the staff noticed Oscar would make his own rounds, just like the doctors and nurses. He’d smell and observe patients, then sit beside people who would end up dying in a few hours. Dosa said Oscar seems to take his work seriously.“Oscar is better at predicting death than the people who work here,” s aid Dr. Joan Teno of Brown University, who treats patients at the nursing home and is an expert on care for the terminally ill. She was convinced of Oscar’s talent when he made his 13th correct call. While observing one patient, Teno said she noticed the woman wasn’t eating, was breathing with difficulty and that her legs had a bluish color, signs that often mean death is near. Oscar wouldn’t stay inside the room, though, so Teno thought his streak was broken. Instead, it turned out the doctor’s prediction was roughly 10 hours too early. Sure enough, during the patient’s final two hours, nurses told Teno that Oscar joined the woman at her bedside.Doctors say most of the people who get a visit from the sweet-faced, gray-and-white cat are so ill that they pro bably don’t know he’s there, so patients aren’t aware he’s a predictor of death. Most families are grateful for the advance warning.No one’s certain if Oscar’s behavior is scientifically significant or points to a cause. Teno wonders if the cat senses mysterious scents or reads something from the behavior of the nurses who raised him.56. What makes Oscar the cat so special?A. He observes the cases of dying patients.B. He curls up next to the patients.C. He calls family members to the hospital.D. He senses when patients are to die.57. The underlined words “his streak was broken”probably mean ______.A. his bones were severely injuredB. his magic power stopped workingC. his devotion to work got changedD. his friendship with patients ended58. The best title for this passage is “______”.A. Cats Can Be Used for Looking After PatientsB. Oscar, the Sweet-Faced, Gray-and-White CatC. As Death Comes Calling, So Does Oscar the CatD. Oscar the Cat, the Best Helper of the HospitalBThere are probably no people on Earth who like to gossip as much as the British. If prying into （打探）other’s lives were an Olympic sport, then Team GB would surely take the gold medal.And when the British can’t watch the lives of real people, they have another source of entertainment to fall back on—the soap opera. British soap operas are very different to US TV dramas. For one, they are normally longer running. The two most popular, Coronation Street and East-enders, have been running for 48 and 24 years respectively. Both are broadcast several times a week, so remarkably there have been more than 7,000 episodes of Coronation Street.The most obvious difference is that, unlike US dramas, the British soap operas focus on the real world. There is little glamour (魅力), the stars are rarely rich, and they normally have boring jobs. Perhaps the appeal is that the lives of the characters often mirror the lives of the audience—but with some drama added. This means the viewer can relate to the characters and feel the pain and happiness they go through on the show.Because these soap operas last for decades, the cast is ever changing. The shows rarely focus on one or two main characters. Like the real world, people come and go all the time, However, there are exceptions. Coronation Street’s William Roach, 76, has played the role of Ken Barlow since the very first episode of the show in 1960, and he is still a regular.The choice of which soap opera you follow is often cultural: People from the north of British tend to watch Coronation Street as it is set in Manchester. People from the south generally prefer East-enders, which is set in the east of London. The show is generally considered grittier and is aimed at a younger audience.59. What is the main different between American dramas and British soap operas?A. American dramas are longer.B. British soap operas are longer.C. American dramas deals with dangerous things.D. British soap operas deal with real people.60. Why do British people like to watch such operas?A. They can find their own life from the operas.B. They can enjoy the operas in their free time.C. They can watch the operas for many years.D. They care about the fate of the characters in the operas.61. The underlined world “episodes” in the 2nd paragraph probably means ______.A. playsB. pagesC. issuesD. parts62. One characteristic of British operas is that ______.A. the characters play the same role for a long time.B. the characters in the play often changeC. people don’t know what will happen nextD. there is only one or two characters in themCWant to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face.Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from c olds, according to a new study. It’s possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University.“It seems that positive feelings may reduce the danger of illness,” said the study’s chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.In this study, Cohen’s interviewed 193 adults every d ay for two weeks. During the interviews, the people were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally(相等地) likely to get ill. But for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illnesses are less serious and lasted for a shorter time.Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried abut your health, look on the bright side more often.63. Which of the following was NOT a part of the study?A. People talked about their feelings every day.B. People were kept alone for six days.C. People were given colds by doctors.D. People were made to feel unhappy.64. What did the study find?A. People who felt happy never got ill.B. People’s feelings didn’t influence their health.C. People with good feelings became ill more easily.D. People with positive feelings had less serious illnesses..65. According to Cohen, which of the following may help fight illnesses?A. Eating.B. Crying.C. Laughing.D. Sleeping.66. This passage is a/an .A. advertisementB. newspaper reportC. storyD. scientist’s diaryDMr. Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot (行李箱).Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said, “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew(拧开…的螺丝) the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no hel p came.”It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench(扳钳) and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled (move with difficulty) as the car filled up.”His hands and arms were cut and bruised (擦伤). Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “The thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible(can be seen), police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.67. What is the best title for this newspaper article?A.The Story of Mr. Johnson, A Sweet SalesmanB.Car Boot Serve As The Best Escape RouteC.Driver Escaped Through Car BootD.The Driver Survived A Terrible Car Accident68. Which of the following objects is the most important to Mr. Johnson?A. The hammer.B. The coin.C. The screw.D. The horn.69. “Finally it gave”(Paragraph 5) means that _______________.A. luckily the door was torn away in the endB. at last the wrench went brokenC. the lock came open after all his effortsD. the chance was lost at the last minute70. It may be inferred from the passage that _________________.A. the ditch was along a quiet country roadB. the accident happened on a rainy cold dayC. Mr. Johnson’s car stood on its boot as it fell downD. the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditchEA job is more than a job，especially to the old. “It’s not the money that matters，but the sense of self-worth．”56-year-old Cbeng Wonlan said. So，every day Ms Cheng carries a bag of parcels，letters and documents and does her rounds in North Point. She’s a courier(快递员)Five years ago, Ms Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic. She had worked there for 30 years but was jobless when the doctor migrated(移居). It was difficult for her to find another job as a nurse. “People do not trust my ability when they learn how old I am，”she said. After two years of searching, she eventually found another nursing job. But then after two years，she quit. Why?“My colleagues didn’t understand me because of my age. They often asked me ‘You are so old. What are you working for?’ I was very unhappy” She said. So while the rest of her family left for work，she was left to lonely boredom at home .Then her neighbours told her about Employee’s Retraining Board(ERB)offering retraining courses for older people. These courses are specifically designed to encourage older people back to work..“I was interested in courier work.. I didn’t think my age was a barrier because I was fit.” She said .Upon graduating，Ms Cheng was offered a job by the Speeding Shuttle Courier Service Company. But then Ms Cheng was faced with a conflict：she was caught between honour and employment“I felt embarrassed about ca rrying and delivering letters and parcels.”she said. It took Ms Cheng 24 hours to make up her mind：there was nothing wrong or embarrassing about doing the job. So she went off to work as a courier．Ms Cheng’s employer is delighted with her responsible atti tude and said．“I hired older people because they were able and reliable .Age is not an important factor but attitude is. Many old people will not run from difficulties but the young ones will.”71. Why was it difficult for Ms Cheng to find another nursing Job?A. Nursing clinics were hard to findB.

She has never studied or done research abroad.She is neither a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences nor the Chinese Academy of Engineering. However, the 81-year-old pharmacologist has becomethe first scientist on the Chinese mainland to win a Lasker Award, the medicalprize of the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation.The Lasker Awards have existed since 1945. The winners are always people who have really helped us to understand, recognize, treat, cure and prevent disease. Tu was presented the 2011 Lasker Clinical Medical Research Award on September 23. She discovered a drug called artemisinin (青蒿素). The drug is now widely used against malaria (疟疾).Tu and her colleagues joined a government project to find a new malaria drug in the late 1960s during the “cultural revolution” (1966～1976). They made 380 herbal extracts (草药提取物) from 200 potential recipes. The recipes came from traditional Chinese medical books. The team then tested them on malaria-infected mice. Finally Tu became interested in an extract of the plant qinghao, or sweet wormwood (青蒿).According to an ancient Chinese medicine book, qinghao was once used to treat malaria. However, the extract they made in the lab didn’t work well. Tu thought the effective ingredient in qinghao may be destroyed by high temperatures. Therefore, Tu tried to make the extract with ether (乙醚) which has a much lower boiling point than water.In 1971, after more than 190 failures, Tu finally got an extract that was 100 percent effective against the malaria parasites (寄生虫). The extract was calledqinghaosu, later renamed artemisinin.According to a statement on the Lasker Foundation website, during the past four decades, Tu’s drug has saved millions of lives. It is especially important for children in the poorest and least developed parts of the world. However, not many people knew of the scientist until she won the Lasker Award this month.Lasker Awards are known as “America’s Nobels” for the reason that in the last two decades, 28 Lasker Prize winners have gone on to receive the Nobel Prize, and 80 since 1945, according to Xinhua News Agency.“The discovery of artemisinin is a gift to mankind from traditional Chinese medicine, ” Tu said when she received the award. “Continuous exploration and development of traditional medicine will, without doubt, bring more medicines to the wo rld. ”56. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. It is unnecessary to study abroad as a scientific researcher.B. Chinese medicine used not to be recognized in Western countries.C. Tu achieved great things although she didn’t have an impressiv e background.D. Tu is the first female scientist to win a Lasker Award.57. In the process of discovering artemisinin, Tu ________.A. began with a private projectB. succeeded during the first experimentsC. faced many different opinionsD. made extracts in a creative way58. Why is artemisinin especially important for children from poor countries?A. It is a very cheap medicine and easy for them to get hold of.B. They believe in the effect of Chinese medicine.C. There are no other cures for malaria.D. It has the fewest side effects for children.59. According to the article, the Lasker Awards ________.A. are more influential than Nobel Prizes in the medical fieldB. are awarded to those who have made great medical achievementsC. are awarded to more Americans than people from any other countryD. are usually awarded to scientists who are not famous in their field(B)Welcome to AustraliaThe Great OutdoorsAustralia is the world’s oldest continent and indigenous Australians have one of the worl d’s oldest culture.In Australia you will see unique plants and animals and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of day when we best perform specific tasks.The reality, however, is that most of us organize their time around work demands, school deadlines, commuting or social events. Doing whatever your body feels like doing is a luxury in today's fast-paced modem society.But that doesn't mean it isn't worth trying. Obeying our body clock has significant health benefits. Disrupting our natural body rhythm, on the other hand, has been linked to problems such as depression, obesity, or headache, says Steve Key, a biology professor.When the body clock can synchronize（使……同步）the rhythms of its natural processes, it “gives us an advantage in daily life”, says Key.According to him, when it comes to cognitive（认知的）work, most adults perform best in the late morning. As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the morning and continues to increase until midday, our memory, alertness and concentration gradually improve.However, he adds, our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soonthereafter. Most of us are more easily distracted（分心）between noon and 4 pm.Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around 2 pm, making that a good time for a nap.Surprisingly, tiredness may increase our creative powers. For most adults, problems that require open ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired, according to a study in the journal Thinking & Reasoning.When choosing a time of day to exercise, paying attention to your body clock can improve results. Physical performance is usually best from about 3 to 6 pm, says Michael Smolensky, a professor of biomedical engineering.Of course, not everyone's body clock is the same, making it even harder to synchronize natural rhythms with daily plans.64. Inspiration（灵感）to solve a difficult problem will most probably come to us .A. when we get up in the morningB. when we are tired in the eveningC. when we are full of energy in the late morningD. when we are asleep at night65. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Our alertness is influenced by our natural body rhythmB. Doing whatever your body feels like is very difficult in our modem society.C. Obeying our body clock is good for our health.D. Disrupting our natural body rhythm can lead to obesity.66. Which of the following can be the suitable title for the passage?A. What is natural body rhythm?B. Natural body rhythm is good for us.C. Something about natural body rhythm.D. The latest research about natural body rhythm.(D)They were going to Fort Lauderdale —three boys and three girls —and when they boarded the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine in paper bags, dreaming of golden beaches and sea tides as the gray, cold spring of New York went behind them.As the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice Vingo. He sat in front of them, completely in silence.Deep into the night, outside Washington, the bus pulled into Howard Johnson’s, and everybody got off except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him. When they went back to the bus, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself.“Want some wine?” she said. He smiled and took a swig from the bottle. He thanked her and became silent again. After a while, she went back to the others, and Vingo nodded in sleep.In the morning, they awoke outside another Howard Johnson’s, and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He ordered black coffee and some cookies as the young people talked about sleeping on beaches. When they returned to the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again, and after a while, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. He had been in prison in New York for the past four years, and now he was going home.“Are you married?”“I don’t know.”“You don’t know?” she said.“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife,” he said, “I told her that I wa s going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldn’t stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, and if it hurt her too much, well, she could jus forget me. I’d understand. Get a new man, I said —she’s a wonderful woman. I told her she didn’t have to write me. And she didn’t. Not for three and a half years.”“And you’re going home now, not knowing?”“Yeah. Well, last week, when I was sure the parole（假释）was coming through,I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick, just before Jacksonville, a nd there’sa big oak（橡树）just as you come into town. I told her that if she didn’t have a new man and if she’d take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I’d get off and come home. If she didn’t want me, forget it — no handkerchief and I’d go on through.”“Wow,” the girl exclaimed, “Wow.”She told the others, and soon all of them were in it, looking at the pictures Vingo showed them of his wife and three children.Now they were 20 miles from Brunswick, and the young people took over window seats on the right side, waiting for the approach of the great oak. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face, as if protecting himself against still another disappointment.Then Brunswick was ten miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, shouting and crying.Vingo sat there astonished, looking at the oak. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs — 20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, flying in the wind. As the young people shouted, Vingo slowly rose from his seat and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.67. At the beginning of the story, the young boys and girls ______.A. showed a great interest in VingoB. didn’t notice Vingo at allC. wanted to offer help to VingoD. didn’t like Vingo at all68. The underlined part “Howard Johnson’s” is most probably a(n) ______.A. bus stationB. apartmentC. hospitalD. restaurant69. How did Vingo feel on the way home?A. Ashamed.B. Relaxed.C. Nervous.D. Disappointed.70. The paragraphs following this passage would most probably talk about ______.A. Vingo’s experience in prisonB. the young people’s travel to Fort LauderdaleC.

The story continues, and despite disappointments and defeats, Ji-su eventually achieves her goal of being chosen to sew for the king and being reunited with her mother, although she gives up many hours of normal childhood pleasure to achieve her goal.Beautiful paintings of delicate scenes in Korea accompany every page of “Good Fortune in a Wrapping Cloth,” and examples of creative bojagi or wrapping cloths from the San Francisco Asian Art Museum are shown after a list of Korean terms used in the story. “Good Fortune in a Wrapping Cloth” is a beautiful multicultural studies book for children, filled with many lovely teaching moments.56. Ji-su decides to learn to stitch bojagi __________.A. because her aunt asks her to do soB. because she becomes interested in itC. in order to be together with her motherD. so that she can become a famous seamstress57.

It takes place at the royal palace.D. It is about a kind of Korean clothes.59. The passage is most probably taken form __________.A. a book reviewB. a personal diaryC. a history paperD. a magazine reportB“I feel fat.” “I hate my hair.” “I wish I were taller.” Julia Bluhm, 14, was sick of hearing comments like these. Many girls she knew seemed to worry too much about their appearance — their weight, skin, hair, even the shape of their faces.So Julia decided to do something about it. Her target? Seventeen, a popular girls’ magazine. “I look at the pictures, and they just don’t look like girls I see walking down the street,” the eighth-grader from Maine told The New York Times.Of course they don’t. Magazines use programs like Photoshop to remove zits(青春痘), add shine to hair, and slim waistlines. Often, girls are made to look like Barbie dolls.Julia fears that these impossible standards of beauty make teens feel terrible about thei r own appearances. After all, even the models aren’t as perfect as they look in print!So Julia launched an online petition(请愿书) asking Seventeen to put at least one unaltered photo in each issue. “I want to see regular girls that look like me in a magazin e that’s supposed to be for me,” she wrote.Days later, her petition had thousands of signatures. Julia and her mom traveled to New York City and joined a demonstration(集合) in front of Seventeen’ s offices. Then they were invited to meet with Seventeen’s e ditor-in-chief, Ann Shoket.A few months later, Shoket announced that the staff of Seventeen had signed a “Body Peace Treaty.” They promised to “never change girls’ body or face shapes” and only use photos of “real girls and models who are healthy.” In add ition, they promised to be more open about the ways in which images are changed before publication.Julia’s fight against teen self-hate is far from over, but for now it seems she’s winning —and she’s thrilled. “This is a huge victory,” she wrote in a mes sage on her petition page. “I’m so unbelievably happy.”60.When Julia heard many girls say something like “I hate my hair”, she felt_________.A. naturalB. strangeC. worriedD. pitiful61. Why did Julia launch an online petition?A. To fight for real beauty.B. To join a demonstration.C. To set a standard of beauty.D. To ask Seventeen to apologize.62. The underlined word “unaltered” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________.A. hugeB. recentC. interestingD. unchanged63. We can learn form the passage that ___________.A. Julia’s effort paid offB. the campaign lasted a yearC. Julia is a teenager from New York CityD.

It wasn’t always that way.I came to Shawshank when I was just twenty, and I am one of the few people in the prison who is willing to admit what he did. I committed murder. I put a large insurance policy on my wife, who was three years older than 1 was, and then I fixed the brakes of the car her father had given us as a wedding present. It worked out exactly as I had planned, except I hadn’t planned on her stopping to pick up the neighbour woman and the woman’s son on the way down Castle Hill and into town. The brakes let go and the car crashed through the bushes, gathering speed. Bystanders said it must have been doing fifty or better when it hit the base of the Civil War statue in the town and burst into flames.I also hadn’t pl anned on getting caught, but caught I was. I got a pass into this place. My state has no death penalty(死刑), but I was tried for all three deaths and given three life sentences, to run one after the other. That fixed up any chance of parole(假释) I might have, for a long, long time. The judge called what I had done “an extremely evil crime”, and it was, but it is also in the past now.Have I transformed myself, you ask? I don’t know what that word means, at least as far as prisons and corrections go. I think it’s a politician’s word. It may have some other meaning, and it may be that 1 will have a chance to find out, but that is the future...I was young, good-looking, and from the poor side of town. I met a pretty, headstrong girl who lived in one of the fine old houses on Carbine Street. She got pregnant later. Her father was agreeable to the marriage if 1 would take a job in the company he owned and “work my way up”. I found out that what he really had in mind was keeping me in his house and under his thumb, like a disagreeable pet thathas not quite been housebroken and which may bite. Enough hate eventually piled up to cause me to do what I did.Given a second chance 1 would not do it again, but I’m not sure that means I am transformed.67. What do we know about the man from the passage?A. He is the most powerful man in the prison.B. He is quite an able person as a prisoner.C. He is in charge of the federal prison.D. He is treated unfairly in the prison.68. By saying that “I got a pass into this place” (in Para. 3), the man means that________.A. he has stayed in the federal prison beforeB. he was allowed to go homeC. he was caught by the police without a passD. he has got to stay in prison69. The man committed such an evil crime because__________.A. his wife had looked on him as a pet and he didn’t feel respectedB. his wife’s family members had disapproved of their marriageC. he had been angry for a long time with his father-in-lawD. he had made a secret deal with an insurance company70. Which of the following is TRUE about the man?A. He thinks the trial a mistake and is unfair.B. He has found out the meaning of “transform”.C. He regrets having committed the crime.D. He will be out of prison in the near future.EBetween 1996 and 2010, according to a study published in 2012, the use of computed tomography (CT)(计算机断层扫描) scans nearly increased by three times as much, from 52 scans per 1,000 patients to 149 scans per 1,000 patients. And those images certainly provided valuable information to help doctors diagnose(诊断) hidden conditions that wouldn’t have been possible without the added insight. But CT scans produce thosedetailed images using small amounts of radiation, and while the absolute risk of that exposure is small, on a population level, increased reliance on the scans could drive a slight bump in cancer risk from CT.That’s exactly what the latest study, published in the British Medical Journal, found. It’s the largest study to date — involving 10.9 million Australians born between 1985 and 2005. A team of researchers from Australia and Europe studied the cancer rates of Australian patients from birth to 19 years old who had CT scans in early childhood, and compared them to those who did not receive the scans.Most of the cases were followed for 10 to 17 years, and by the end of the study period, 3,150 of the 680,000 patients exposed to CT scans during childhood and young adulthood developed cancer and 57,542 of the remaining participants, who were not exposed, developed cancer. Those who were scanned had a 24% greater risk of cancer than those who did not receive them, with the risk increasing by 16% for each additional CT. The risk was highest for children who received scans before age five; they showed a 35% increased chance of developing a cancer during the study period than those who weren’t scanned at this age.That research is still ongoing, however, and in the meantime, doctors and patients are left to find the delicate balance between how necessary scans are to diagnose disease, and their potential risk of causing cancer, which, most experts say, is still very small. “All parties, including patients and families, need to work together to make sure that CT scans are limited to situations where there is a definite(明确的) clinical(临床) indication,” the authors write. Only then will the benefits, they say, outweigh the risks of exposure.71. The underlined word “bump” in Paragraph 1 most probably means __________.A. touchB. problemC. riseD. change72. What can we learn about the participants of the study?A. They came from both Australia and Europe.B. Most of them are between 10 to 17 years old.C. Some of them had developed cancer at the age of 19.D. About 10.22 million of them hadn’t received CT scans.73. Among the following, who will face the highest cancer risk after CT scans?A. A one-year-old baby.B. A seven-year-old student.C. A fourteen-year-old teen.D. A twenty-year-old adult.74. Which might be a suggestion from the researchers of the study?A. Patients should take a cautious attitude to CT scans.B. Hospitals should provide more CT scan services.C. Doctors should use CT scans to diagnose cancer.D. Young people should say no to CT scans.75. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To report a coming event.B. To present a research result.C. To tell an interesting story.D. To introduce a diagnostic tool.2016秋高二英语阅读训练636—40 DDCBA 41—45 DCCBA 46—50 DACAD 51—55 ADCBB 56—60 CDBAC 61—65 ADABD 66—70 BBDCC 71—75 CDAAB。

A.最初用英英词典,不习惯,所以作者感觉用起来"很难difficult".interesting 是"有趣味的意思",根据下文not fully understand the meaning 不可能是这个答案;ambiguous 是"不明确的";practical 是"实用的",这两个词也不符合语境.40.C.句子中有否定词not,有副词fully,所以用still,表示"仍然不能够完全"的意思.41.B.be used to 表示"习惯……,对作者来说习惯了双语词典,或者说是英汉词典.这里指双语词典的使用对他来说是熟悉.42.A.此句是一个in which 引导的定语从句,其中words 是主语,根据常识在词典中单词的意思是被"解释出来"的,所以用explained.43.C.我真想知道我姑妈为什么决定这么为难我.其他三个词虽然都跟动词不定式,但是在这里意思都不恰当.44.D.过去不理解,经过一段时间后,"明白了understand";imagine 是"想象"的意思; recommend 是"推荐"的意思;predict 是"预测"的意思.45.B.此句中monolingual dictionaries 和bilingual dictionaries 比较,A 和D 项没用比较级, better 强调更好,更实用,而easier 则不可能.46.B.常见的情况是实际上两种语言之间的两个词没有完全的对应.in fact 表示"实际上, 事实上".at best 是"至多;充其量";at times 是"有时";in case 是"万一,以防", 显然A,C,D 项不合语境.47.A.词典上重点的内容应该是单词.48.B.我姑妈甚至还声称汉语意思决不能给出一个英语单词的确切意思.49.A.前面的a Chinese equivalent 和the meaning of a word in English 对应,所表明还是对应不准确的问题,所以用exact.50.

While discovering a new destination may seem exciting, keep in a mind a little bit of preparation can make your getaway all the more special.Here are some travel tips that can minimize any unpleasant circumstances that may arise when you are not familiar with the country you are travelling to.Be familiar with the culture and traditions of your destination.East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet. Rudyard Kipling’s views may not seem entirely true with the world becoming a global village. There are, however, still differences that must be taken into consideration.It is better to be acquainted with the culture and traditions of the country you are visiting. For example, you may be travelling the Bali, a country equally well-known for its beautiful landscapes and temples as it is for its warm people. However, keep in mind that you must be suitably dressed to enter a temple. If you go wearing shorts, you may not be allowed to enter. Keeping into consideration facts such as this can make all the difference to your visit.General information about your destinationWeather: This will help you decide what you have to pack for the journey and stay.Currency: No travel trip is complete without shopping and bringing back souvenirs. So it is important to be familiar with the currency, notes and coins and their denominations.Cost of local items: This will help you plan your budget and also give you a roughidea of the costs so that you are not taken for a ride when you go for your shopping expedition.Booking accommodation: Book your accommodation well in advance. This is especially important if you are travelling during the high season and you may find it difficult to get a hotel or guesthouse within your budget.Dealing with language problems: Be familiar with common words and phrases to make going around easier. Then again, when commuting from one place to another, do write down the destination and your hotel address in the local language, otherwise the taxi drivers may not understand where you want to go.Practical necessitiesPaperwork and documents: Know all the documents that are required for travelling to a particular country and ensure all your paperwork is complete so that you don’t face hassles once you reach the place.Make two copies of your passport. Keep them in separate places, for example, you can leave one copy in your room and keep another with your friend. Should your passport be lost or stolen, you can use the copy to exit the country or use it to facilitate the replacement process.Email yourself all the important information such as credit card numbers, passport numbers, your driving license details etc. and anything else that could be of importance if an emergency arises.Finally, run a final checklist before starting your journey. You should have the following: passport, tickets, car rental and hotel reservation receipts/agreements, credit cards, medications or prescriptions, if required, addresses, password and any other important information that you may need. If everything is in order, you are all set for a smooth journey abroad.51. The passage mainly tells the readers _____.A. what to take with you while travellingB. the importance of learning about foreign cultureC. what to do in an emergencyD. how to have a smooth journey abroad52.

You can do the following things in Bali except _____.A. enjoying the beautiful sceneryB. meeting warm peopleC. entering a temple wearing shortsD. learning about its traditions54. From the part Practical necessities we can know that _____.A. you must take everything with you while travellingB. you will face disaster if you lose your documentsC. you should write all the important information on the paper in case you forget themD. you should prepare everything necessary and keep them carefully.BBecause phones have caused many problems, many head teachers have ordered that pupils must keep their phones switched off at school. Others have told pupils to leave them at home. However, Dr Elizabeth Hartnell-Young at the University of Nottingham believes it is time that phone bans were reassessed—because mobile phones can be a powerful learning aid, they say.“At the start of the study, even pupils were often surprised at the thought that mobile phones could be used for learning,” Dr H artnell-Young says. “After their hands-on experience, almost all pupils said they had enjoyed the project and felt more motivated. “Some teachers also had to reassess their views. “Using this technology gives them more freedom to express themselves without needing to be constantly governed.” one said.Other teachers found that pupils who lacked confidence gained most from the project. However, they recognized that greater use of mobile phones in schools could prove troublesome. Increased temptation to steal phones was one worry. “I thought, well, four of these smart phones are going to end up on e-BAY tomorrow," one teachersaid. A few teachers remained concerned that phones could prove a distraction for some pupils. Allowing pupils to access school emails via mobiles would also bring risks if passwords were shared, they said.Dr Hartnell-Young says that the teachers’ worries are understandable. “While the eventual aim should be to cancel overall bans on phones we do not recommend immediate, whole-school chan ge,” she said. “Instead we believe that teachers, students and the wider community should work together to develop policies that will enable this powerful new learning tool to be used safely. We hope that, in future, mobile phone use will be as natural as using any other technology in school.”55. What is the main reason of forbidding students to take their phones to school?A. Using phones in school often makes students get into trouble.B. Some students would steal others’ phones.C. Some students are addicted to playing games or listening to music.D. Using phones may bring about many problems.56. The author wrote the passage mainly to _____.A. attract readers to care about phone bansB. explain why phone bans should be carried outC. reassess views whether phones can be used in schoolD. to tell us phone use will be more popular in school57. What does Dr Hartnell-Young mean by her remarks in the last paragraph?A. Teachers’ decisions should be protective.B. Students’ interests are understand able.C. Students can use phones for learning at any time.D. Using phones in school will be acceptable in future.58. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. Temptation from Mobile PhonesB. The Mobile Phone Using BanC. Mobile Phones, a Powerful Learning AidD. Yes or No for Using Cell phones at SchoolCEvery year, more than four million babies are born in the United States.Some parents named their children based on family, cultural or religious traditions. Girls are often named after a family member but rarely their mothers. Sons, though, are often named after their fathers.Every year the Social Security Administration releases a list of the most popular baby names in America. Last year, Jacob was the most popular boy name and Emma the number one name for girls.These days, the choice of a baby name seems to be guided as much by individual desires as by tradition. This is shown in the fact that the most popular baby names are not as popular as they used to be.Researchers at San Diego State University in California did a study. They found that thirty-two percent of boys received one of the ten most popular names in 1955. The same was true for twenty-two percent of girls. By 2007, however, the numbers were down to less than ten percent of boys and only eight percent of girls.“People are more and more interested in finding unusual names. And now since we have the information on the Internet of what the most popular names are, the percentage of kids who get them actually is going down because people are able to avoid them much more successfully than they did before,” said Cleveland Evans, a professor of psychology at Bellevue University.Parents can find plenty of advice on the Web and in bookstores about choosing a baby name. A lot has also been written about the possible effects that a name might have on a child’s future.There are studies that suggest children with unusual names are more likely to be teased. Other studies suggest that as adults, they might be less likely to get called for a job interview. Yet other research suggests that giving a child an unusual name might help build character. What all this adds up to is a big responsibility for parents to consider what’s really in a name.59. Parents name their sons according to the following EXCEPT _____.A. family traditionB. cultural customsC. a most popular baby nameD. their fathers’ names60. What can be inferred from the study of San Diego State University?A. Parents’ idea on giving babies names are changing with social development.B. Jacob was more popular than any other boy names in the United States of America.C. Sons and daughters are always named after their fathers or grandfathers.D. More people are delighted in using popular names in America nowadays61. According to some studies, which is to NOT the possible effect of giving children unusual names?A. Children with unusual names are more likely to be made fun of by others.B. They possibly build character.C. Children with unusual names can get more chances in future.D. When they grow up, they may be less likely to get called for a job interview.62. The best title of the text may be _____A. Most Names Are Named After FatherB. Changes in Choosing Baby namesC. How to Find Names on the WebD. More Babies Are Named Beyond PopularityDIn January, a survey was conducted to ask readers what their professions of choice were. One of the top choices was investment banking. Lots of people see banking as a way to move up the social ladder and make a lot of money. But it is important to remember that money can’t buy happiness.Just ask Greg Smith. The former executive director of the top US investment banking firm, Goldman Sachs, resigned his job last week. On the day he quit, he wrote an article in the New York Times describing the “toxic” culture of the company for which he had worked for 12 years.Smith revealed that over the years, Goldman Sachs often took advantages of its clients. The company tried to make as much money as possible for the firm instead of working for the best deals for their investors.“The firm has turned so far from the place I joined right out of college that I can no long in good conscience say that I identify with what it stands for,” Smithwrot e. “It makes me ill how coldly people talk about ripping their clients off.Smith also criticized the company’s promotion policy. People used to be promoted because they showed good character and leadership skills. Now, Smith said, promotion is based on how much money you earn for the company. The way you treat your clients and colleagues does not matter.“Goldman Sachs today has become too much about shortcuts and not enough about achievements. It just doesn’t feel right to me anymore.” Smith wrote.The rewards are great for those who succeed in investment banking. But perhaps it is worth thinking about how your career will affect your character and how others see you. If Smith is right, success in this career requires a high level of dishonesty.Those hoping to make a career in investment banking might want to think twice about the culture of the finance field. A fat bank is all very well, but do all those banknotes add up to happiness?63. According to most people, investment banking ____.A. calls for a strong sense of dishonestyB. serves as a way to make a fortuneC. is the toppest profession choiceD. cheats people out of their money64. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Greg Smith quit because of his being badly ill.B. The company attaches importance to its clients’ interests.C. People get promoted due to their leadership qualities today.D. The more money you earn for the company, the more likely you are to be promoted.65. The underlined phrase “identify with” in t he 4th paragraph probably means _____A. object toB. relate toC. appeal toD. submit to66. For those who want to get involved in investment banking, the author intends to _____A. advise them to think twice before doing soB. encourage them to be successfulC. warn them to respect the co-workersD. offer them some shortcutsESarah Alexander celebrated the start of her last year at Wells College the way many other seniors before her had. She ran across the picturesque campus to the shores of Cayuga Lake, where she jumped into the water.So did many of her fellow seniors. But dozens of students decided to stay away, especially the relatively few newly arrived male students.Wells College, which since 1868 had educated only women, began accepting men this year in hopes of supporting its decreasing enrollment.For many students and alumnae, it was a crushing decision. After the college announced last October that it would go co-educational, about half of the students protested and two filed a lawsuit, which they later dropped.The students—33 men and 383 women—came to campus late last month. Both sexes are now trying to navigate the new social landscape. Mr. Phillips said “You can’t do guy stuff. Every time you want to sit and watch sports or a game, it turns into a movie.”The women were “somewhat nasty.” “I could see the dirty looks in their eyes,” he said. “But I was not going to let that stop me from coming.”Wells was a place where women did not have to fuss over their appearance or fight to be taken seriously by their professors. They could enjoy the friendship of their campus sisters and their playful traditions. Besides jumping into the lake, the women dance around the maypole each May and kiss the feet of the statue of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, before exams.Ms. Alexander said, “People told us we wouldn’t notice a difference, but from the moment men arrived on campus you could notice a difference. Women are waking up early to put on makeup, and that’s odd,” she said.Henry Wells, a founder of Wells Fargo and a friend of Cornell’s donator, Ezra Cornell established this college, when women were not considered capable of higher learning. “Give her the opportunity,” he wrote.The news that the college would go coed created ripples far beyond campus. One alumna wrote a letter to the college’s president, Lisa Marsh Ryerson, saying the founder would haunt her. “I believe Henry Wells would have haunted me if I let Wells College close,” said Ms. Marsh Ryerson, a Wells alumna her self.The great-great-great-great granddaughter of Henry Wells, Stephanie Redmond, 18, of Washington State, said that earlier this year a Wells student had tracked her down and asked her to support the protest. But Ms. Redmond said the move to admit men had encouraged her to enroll at Wells this year as a freshman. She plans on a career in engineering, a male-dominated field, and said attending an all-women’s college might have put her at a disadvantage.67. The primary reason for the Wells College to accept men is that____.A. the campus is lack of vigor and vitalityB. it will face the destiny of being closed downC. its enrollment rate is in declineD. all-women’s college might put a woman at a disadvantage68. A typical behavior for seniors to do is that _____.A. they switch sports programs to a movieB. they swim in Cayuga Lake accompanied by friendsC. they jog along the picturesque campusD. they celebrate their fourth year by jumping into a lake69. The change after turning into a coed college is that _____.A. dirty looks in women’s eyes have disappearedB. women get up early to make upC. women are waking up early to studyD. women dance with men around the maypole70. The attitude of the author is that ______.A. she objectively describes the new and uneasy coeducationB. she dislikes the change and hopes to file a lawsuitC. she calls on women in support of the protestD. she hates a tradition of all-women schools2016秋高二英语阅读训练531-35 BBCAD 36-40 BABCA 41-45 CACCA 46-50 CDBAA51-54 DBCD 55-58 DCDD 59-62 CACB 63-66 BDBA 67-70 CDBA。

I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting disappointed, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more concentrated while standing up?This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality characteristics, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their ways.I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique. It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life.56. At the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him .A. pay more attention to his studyB. keep silent in the roomC. finish his homework on timeD. get right answers57.

According to the passage, which of the following statements is RIGHT?A. Parents should study their kids’ DNA.B. Parents s hould love and accept their kids.C. Kids should be taught to behave themselves.D. We should help kids correct their wrong ways.59. The author has stopped asking his son to sit down because .A. his son wants to be uniqueB. his son’s DNA is differentC. his son doesn’t follow his adviceD. he has changed his traditional ideas(B)We all know that the cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. Now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with the EP Portable Heater.

The main purpose of the passage is to______________.A. advise people to save on heating billsB. persuade people to buy the productC. report the new development of portable heatersD. compare the functions of different heater brands(C)Men are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity (名人) chef cooks like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver, according to a report from Oxford University.The effect of the celebrity role models, who have given cooking a more manly picture, has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961.According to the research by Prof. Jonatahn Gershuny, who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford, men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking, up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961.Prof. Gershuny said, “The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend. There has been 40 years of sexual equality, but there is another 40 years probably to come.”Women, who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking, now spend just one hour and seven minutes—a great fall, but they still spend far more time in thekitchen than men.Some experts have named these men in aprons as “Gastr osexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”, who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay, Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd.“I was married in 1974. When my father came to visit me a few weeks later, I was wearing an apron when I opened the door. He laughed,” said Prof. Gershuny. “That would never happen now.”Two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week, even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table. Prof. Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a table—with many “family meals” in fact taken on the sofa in the sitti ng room, and shared by family members. “The family meal has changed a lot, and few of us eat—as I did when I was a child—at least two meals a day together as a family. But it has survived in a different form.”64. What is one reason behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before?A. The improvement of cooks’ skills.B. The influence of popular female chefs.C. The change of female’s view on cooking.D. The development of sexual equality campaign65. What does the author think about the time men and women spend on cooking?A. Women spend much less time on cooking than before.B. Men spend more time cooking than women nowadays.C. It will take 40 years before men spend more time at the stove than women.D. There is a sharp decline in the time men spend on cooking compared with 1961.66. How did Prof. Gershuny see the family meal according to the passage?A. It has become a thing of the past.B. It shouldn’t be advocated in modern times.C. It is very different from what it used to be.D. It is beneficial to the stability of the family.67. Which is the best title for the passage?A. The Changes of Family MealsB. Equality between Men and WomenC. Cooking—a Thing of the Past forD. Cooking into a New Trend for Men Women(D)Register in person, by phone 264-8833, or by mail.

It's the biggest shark and can reach as long as 41.5 feet, and these amazing creatures are not only the biggest sharks. they are also the biggest fish of any kind.Whale sharks have a life of 70 years on average, and they spend their days gently swimming in the warm and tropical oceans.Their teeth are the size of match heads, and while their jaws could be powerful, they have never tended to attack humans. Their teeth play no role in eating, as plankton （浮游生物）does not need to be chewed. They are to be found in numbers in the warmer oceans and they prefer the deep waters of the open oceans.Several times a year they gather together in certain spots where plankton is plentiful. Those areas are all within a 30°north or south latitude (纬度) from equator. Sadly, whale sharks are targeted by commercial fisheries at those spots.How easy it must for the fishermen to catch those beautiful creatures who can only swim at 3.5 miles per hour! So great a loss have they suffered that whale sharks are now listed as one of the endangered species. Measures have been taken by some countries to protect the whale shark from dying out.The Philippines and India have all banned the fishing. selling. importing and exporting of whale sharks for commercial purposes. However, the law does not seem to be effective because the hunting and killing are still going on today. Especially in the Philippines. Each whale shark can be sold around $21,000. In parts of Asia they are known as the “money shark”.The great dollar wins again at great cost to our habitat. We will not know what we have lost until we have lost it forever.72. Which of the following about whale sharks is NOT true?A. They usually live a life of 70 years on average.B. They can reach as longas 41.5 feet.C. They depend on their teeth to harvest their food.D. They live in the deep watersof the warmer oceans.73. Which of the following do whale sharks feed on?A. Big fish.B. Plankton.C. Smaller sharks of the same kind.D. Seals74．So many whale sharks have been caught mainly because______.A. they swim at a slow speedB. they are surrounded by somany fishermenC. they often gather together in great numbersD. they never tend to attack humans75. it is implied in the passage that ______.A. whale sharks are not the biggest sharks but the biggest fishB. whale sharks will be extinct even if they are protectedC. all the countries should take steps to protect whale sharksD. the huge profit is to blame for the decreasing of whale sharks2016秋高二英语阅读训练1036-40 ABCDD 41-45 CDABC 46-50 DBCAC 51-55 BADCD 56-59ACBD 60-63CACB 64-67DACD 68-71CBCD 72-75CBAD。

At the very least, I wish I could 42 it somehow — 43 it on youth, inexperience or ignorance. Unfortunately, I’m 44 , experienced and I know better.45 I work with some very kind people. For the past couple of days many of them have taken time to 46 by my desk and offer comfort, encouragement and support. Some have shared with me similar 47 they have made. Evidently I’m not the only “ 48 ” person here.One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois, the much-honored, much-respected professional who 49 the desk right next to mine. Lois was completely 50 about her work, and to be honest I was a little 51 about how she would 52 _to such an extremely embarrassing incident.As I expected, Lois mentioned the 53 when she saw me the next day. She mentioned it directly, 54 with empathetic(感同身受的) consideration. She listened to my 55 .

Pr etty soon, they could be making your bed and breakfast too.Increasingly, engineers are saying that robots are going to move out of research departments and into your home. Companies including General Electric are working ondesigns for small ro bots. Products like the Roomba, a robot that can clean floors,are flying off the shelves.What’s behind this new robot revolution? It’s partly a matter of technology. Devices that can recognize and respond to a human voice have been developed. Thereare now a few different ways for robots to move around. They can walk, crawl or rideon wheels. Robots are being made smaller and smaller. They are also becoming moreand more able.A bigger part of the story is on the demand side. From the day the television remote control was invented, people around the world have searched for new ways tobe lazy. Take into consideration that more and more people can afford robots, andthe time seems ripe to introduce robots to the ordinary family.To be sure, robots that walk on two legs and talk like people are still a long way off. However, robots that do basic housework such as cleaning or gardening are sure to come out soon. One thing is certain—when these robots do come into our homes,it will change things forever.61. The underlined part “flying off the shelves” in the second paragraph means________.A. Selling well.B. Cleaning the shelves smartly.C. Flying freelyD. Dropping onto the floor62.Which plays a more important role in revolutionizing the robot?A. Science and technology.B. Rapid development of companies.C. Effective marketing means.D. Great demand from the buyers.63. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Robots have already come into every home.B. Technology is the only basis of the development of robots.C. General Electric is not interested in designing small robots.D. Robots that can walk on two legs and talk like people are still far from us.BHere’s this week’s list of four open jobs throughout the local area.

But three graduate students at BrownUniversity in Providence built a company around sleep deprivation(睡眠不足).Jason Donahue, Ben Rubin and Eric Shashoua were working late nights in Brown’sbusiness and engineering schools. They began thinking about ways to sleep better.They discovered they weren’t alone in burning the midnight oil. Around 20% ofAmericans get less than six hours of rest a night.The friends imagined a smart alarm clock that could track how much time peoplespend in the most restorative(有恢复作用的) stages of the sleep cycle: REM (rapideye movement) and deep sleep. What would it cost to design such a thing? Five yearsof research, 20 employees, $14 million and a whole lot of doubting from investorsand scientists.Their company, Zeo, based in Newton, Mass, launched its product in June, 2009.The Zeo device uses a headband with tiny sensors(传感器) that scan your brain forsigns of four sleep states-REM, light, deep and waking sleep. The smart alarm clockdisplays a graph of your sleep pattern and wakes you as you’re not in REM sleep.In the morning you can upload the data to the company’s Web site, and so track yoursleep over time. Most of the feedback(反馈) comes in the form of Zeo’s ZQ scor e showing how well you’ve slept.“Zeo allows people to unlock this black box of sleep,” says Dave Dickinson, a health-care CEO.Whether any of this actually improves sleep is up to the consumer, who will also need to make lifestyle changes like cutting out alcohol before bedtime or caffeine after 3 P.M.For now the company is sel ling Zeo online only. Dickinson also plans to spread it to countries such as Australia, where sleep deprivation approaches US levels.68. Who will support Zeo?A. People full of imagination.B.

Consumers can go to the Zeo company to purchase Zeo in person.DSome people seem easy to understand: their character appears obvious on first meeting. Appearances, however, can be deceptive. I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right. For my own partI find that the longer I know people, the more they puzzle me.I read in this morning’s paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died. He was a businessman and he had been in business in Japan for many years. Once he gave me a great surprise. Unless I had heard the story from his own lips, I’d never have believed that he was capable of such an action. He was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and position. He didn’t talk much, but what he said was sensible. You couldn’t imagine he’d possibly raise his voice in anger. Here was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for his fellows. He’d tell with point a good and spicy story, and in his youth he’d been something of an athlete. He was a rich man and he’d made every penny himself. I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so weak; he aroused your instincts(本能) of protection. You felt he couldn’t bear to hurt a fly.One afternoon Burton told me a “funny” story in a quiet, dry humour:“There was a namesake(同名人) of mine, who was the best bridge player I ever met. He seemed to have a fantastic instinct about the cards. He won a good deal of my money by card-playing.”“One day he came to me when he lost all his fortune. He came to see me in my office and asked me for a job. I asked him how old he was.”“ ‘Thirty-five’, he said.”“ ‘And what have you been doing ever since ?’ I asked him.”“ ‘Well, nothing very much.’ he said.”“ ‘I’m afraid I can’t do anything for you just yet’ I said. ‘Come back and see me in another thirty-five years, and I’ll see what I can do.’ ”“He didn’t move. He went rather pale. He hesitated for a moment a nd then he told me that he had had bad luck at cards for some time. He lost everything he had. He hadn’t a penny. He was down and out. If he couldn’t get something to do he’d not survive.”“I looked at him for a bit. I could see now that he was all to pieces. He’d been drinking more than usual and he looked fifty.”“Suddenly I had an idea.” Pausing in his story, Burton turned to me. “WhenI was young I swam over three miles round the beacon(灯塔) and landed at the river of Tarumi. It’s rather difficult on a ccount of the currents round the beacon. Well, I told my young fellow about it and I said that if he’d do it I’d give him a job.”“I could see he was rather surprised. He was not in good condition for sports. He looked at me for a moment and then he nodded.”“I told him I’d drive round to the river at half past twelve and meet him.”“ ‘Done,’ he said.”“I wished him good luck and he left me. I had a lot of work to do that morning and I only just managed to get to the river Tarumi at half past twelve. But I needn’t have hurried; he never turned up.”“Did he fear it at the last moment?” I asked.“No, he didn’t fear it. He started all right. But of course he’d ruined his constitution(体质) by drink. The currents round the beacon were more than he could manage. We didn’t get the body for about three days.”I didn’t say anything for a moment or two. I was rather shocked. Then I asked.“When you made him that offer of a job, did you know he’d be drowned?”He looked at me with his kind blue eyes, smiling. “Well, I hadn’t got a position in my office at the moment.”72.
