One weekend in July, Jane and her husband, Tom, had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom, “I’m going to find a better spot for us to camp” and walked away.With no path to follow, Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake. To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snowcapped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.“Tom!” she cried. “Help!”No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to the lake.As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter. Is that for me? Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above.A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead. Jane took off her yellow blouse, thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词；3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；4.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment re cently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycli ng in the home is very important of course. However, being fo rced to recycle often means we already have more material th an we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in th e first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 19 99 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the . In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environ ment. The , for example, is running out of areas for burying thi s unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off gr eenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of th em are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, en couraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example. But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. W e have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have l earned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide ran ge of consumer products, which often have far more packagin g than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material w e are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our con sumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.1. What does the underlined phrase “that over-consumption” refer to?A. Using too much packaging.B. Recycling too many wastes.C. Making more products than necessary.D. Having more material than is needed.2. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show .A. the tendency of cutting household wasteB. the increase of packaging recyclingC. the rapid growth of supermarketsD. the fact of packaging o veruse3. According to the text, recycling .A. helps control the greenhouse effectB. means burning packaging for energyC. is the solution to gas shortageD. leads to a waste of land4. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.D. Other products are better packaged than food.5. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.B. Needless material is mostly recycled.C. People like collecting recyclable wastes.D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.【参考答案】1-5 DDACA【2013界广东省汕头市质量监测试题】The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when h e said, "High school English teachers are not doing their jobs. " He described the inadequacies of his students, all high scho ol graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions ho w this grade 9 level had been established.My topic is not standards nor its decline（降低）. What the speaker was really saying is that eh is no long er young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation abou t the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also huma n nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth centur y, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language d eficiencies（缺陷）. But since then, English teachers have been under const ant attack.The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. Astheir own command of the language improves, they notice tha t young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that th eir own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the languag e of the young always seems inadequate.Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English la nguage is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but r ather as something new and peculiar to today's young people, it naturally follows that today's English teachers cannot be do ing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not have a poor command of English.41. The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that ________.A. the language of the younger generation is usually inferior t o that t of the older generationB. the students had a poor command of English because they didn't work hard enoughC. he was an excellent language teacher because he had bee n teaching English for sixteen yearsD. English teachers should be held responsible for the studen ts' poor command of English【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。

The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not. “Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry,” said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD."Versed,” published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works, which is about 2, 700 copies.

高中英语真题:2016高考英语阅读理解暑假精炼（11）阅读理解-------CIf you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. T his is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise—and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the proc ess of ageing could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he se t about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of diffe rent ages and varying occupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain preci se measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect (智能) and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating an d breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.)Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed I some subjects in their thirties, but it was still n ot evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple re medy to the contraction normally associated with age—using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brai n begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Th ose least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by u niversity professors and doctors. White collar workers doing r outine work in government offices are, however, as likely to h ave shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.M atsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to s upply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says, “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely onpocket calculators.”36. The team of doctors wanted to find out ________.A. why certain people age sooner than othersB. how to mak e people live longerC. the size of certain people’s brainsD. which people ar e most intelligent【答案】A【解析】细节理解题。

Which are you more likely to have with you at any given moment—your cellphone or your wallet? Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner.In January, Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6, 800 of its stores. This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U. S. , but we’re likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication(NFC) gets into America’s consumer electronics. Last December, some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public.Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe, NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminal—a contact-free system built for speed and convenience. But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U. S. , a few problems need to be worked out, like who will get to collect the profitable transaction (交易) fees. Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and-pay systems that use NFC-enabled credit cards, cellphone service providers may try to muscle their way into the point-of-sale(POS) market. Three big cellphone service providers have formed a joint venture(合资企业) that will go into operation over the next 15 months. Its goal is “to lead the U. S. payments industry from cards to mobile phones.”The other big NFC issue, apart from how payments will be processed, is security. For instance,wh at’s to stop a thief from digitally pickpocketing you? “We’re still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone,” says Jimmy Shah, a mobile-security researcher. “Users may also be able to set transaction limits, perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.”Still uneasy about this digital-wallet business? Keep in mind that if you lose your smart phone, it can be located on a map and remotely disabled. Plus, your phone can be password protected. Your wallet isn’t.1. What is predicted to happen in the U. S. ?A. The expansion of cellphone companies.B. The boom of pay-by-phone business.C. The disappearance of credit cards.D. The increase of Starbucks sales.2. The NFC technology can be used to.A. ensure the safety of shoppersB. collect transaction fees easilyC. make purchase faster and simplerD. improve the quality of cellphones3. Three cellphone service providers form a joint venture to.A. strengthen their relationshipB. get a share in the payments industryC. sell more cellphonesD. test the NFC technology4. According to the passage, what can users do if they lose their smart phones?A. Stop the functioning of their phones.B. Set up a password.C. Get all the money out of their phones.D. Cancel large purchases.【参考答案】1—4、BCBA故事记叙型阅读理解(二)Looking through a magazine in a waiting room recently, I came across an article with the title “My top five most precious possessions”．It was just a few lines of text with pictures, but it caught my imagination. It’s interesting how inanimate(无生命的)ob jects can take on such significance and become woven into a person’s, and sometimes a whole family’s, life history.Anyway, the article had me considering what my most precious possessions are.It was difficult to choose only five, but here are mine:An old cardboard box filled with my children’s baby photos.A yellow pocket-sized birthday book of special things (poems, pictures of flowers and trees, etc) given to me by my dad when I was probably about seven or eight years old.A 21st Birthday card from my mum.In it she’s written her congratulations, her love, and her hopes for my future.She died not long after, when I was in my early twenties.A few ancient but very beautiful botany books that were once my great grandmother’s.She was a botanist in a time when it was relatively unusual for women to be qualified in this field and I think she was probably a remarkable and veryintere sting woman.I’d like to have known her.A brooch(胸针) left to me by my much-lovedgrandmother.It was given to my great grandmother (her mother) by my great grandfather on his return from World War Ⅰ.It is not worth anything in terms of money.However, it not only stands for a link between four generations of women, but it is also a remi nder of one young man’s return from World War I.How about you?

【2014河南省淇县高级中学一模】What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipient’s face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion (蒲公英) standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the detai ls another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood. I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.Christ mas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad’s face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters car efully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.60.

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything.I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort... trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he held in them. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand.I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life. As the tears that.rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops... and more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, Himself, was weeping with pride.26. Why did the author follow her son?A. Because there might be danger.B. Because her son was doing a good deed.C. Because she was curious.D.

What makes a person a scientist？Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others？The answer is “NO”．It is not what the tools that a scientist us es but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist.Yo u will probably agree that knowing how to use the power is im portant to a carpenter (木匠)．You will probably agree，too，that knowing how to investigate (调查)，how to discover information，is important to everyone.The scientist，however，goes one step further，he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his quest ions and that his answer can be confirmed (确认) by other persons.He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the worl d works.The scientist’s knowledge must be exact.There is no room forhalf right or right just half the time.He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit.What works under one set of conditio ns sometimes must work under the same conditions at other ti mes.If the conditions are different，any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration (演示) must be explained by the changes in the conditions.This is one reason that investigations are important in science.Albert Einstein，who developed the theory of relativity，arrived at this theory through mathematics.The accuracy of hi s mathematics was later tested through investigations.Einstei n’s ideas were shown to be correct.A scientist uses many tool s for measurements.Then the measurements are used to mak e mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. 1．What makes a scientist according to the passage?

母题十阅读理解【母题来源】【2016·】【母题原题】【2016·】DWhy College Is Not HomeThe college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy(自主性) and the development of adult identity. However, now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence, duri ng which many of today’s students and are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.For previous generations, college was decisive break from parental control; guidance and support needed help from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, however, continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cellphones, email and social media, have increased significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passagefrom the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exp loration and experimentation. This process involves “trying on 〞 new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually(在思维方面) and personally. While we should provide “safe spaces〞 within colleges, we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered on debate and questioning.Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college community(群体) differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a senseof belonging. If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controlled by their elders. If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined(规定) and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out, particularly when there are reasons to do so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency. What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescent’s desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world. Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth.Every college discussion about community values, social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation, of the necessary tension between safety and self-discovery.67.What’s the author’s attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students?A.SympatheticB.DisapprovingC.SupportiveD.Neutral68.The underlined word “passage〞 in Paragraph 2 means.A.changeB.choiceC.textD.extension69.According to the author,what role should college play?A.to develop a shared identity among studentsB.to define and regulate students’ social behaviorC.To provide a safe world without tension for studentsD.To foster students’ intellectual and personal development70.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?【答案】67.B68.A69.D70.C68.A猜测词义题。

People who are taking aspirin regularly to thin their blood and are about to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery (冠状动脉旁路搭桥术) are usually to stop the aspirin a week before the operation – but they could be better off if they keep taking it.Taking aspirin up to the day coronary artery bypass grafting (移植) is performed seems to speed lung function recovery afterwards, without increasing the risk of bleeding significantly, according to a report from Israel.Release of a substance called thromboxane (血栓素) is associated with lung injury after heart bypass grafting, Dr Rabin Gerrah at Assuta Medical Center in Tel Aviv and his colleagues explained in the medical journal Chest. Aspirin is believed to inhibit release of thromboxane, so Gerrah’s group theorized that the administration of aspirin until the day of the surgery could improve outcomes.They therefore followed 14 patients who took 100 milligrams of aspirin daily until the day of the surgery and 18 who stopped taking aspirin at least 7 days before the surgery.Those who continued with their aspirin had significantly lower thromboxane in fluid around the heart, better oxygen levels in their blood and spent less time on a ventilator(呼吸器) than the group who discontinued taking aspirin.On the other hand, the need for blood transfusions was no different between the groups, indicating that bleeding complications were no worse with aspirin.The researchers had excluded patients who had suffered a heart attack and those with heart failure because patients like these have a higher level of thrombaxane. ―They will probably benefit even more than its inhibition.‖Based on their findings, Gerrah’s team recommends that aspirin therapy(治疗) not be discontinued before coronary artery bypass surgery.1. From the passage we know that_______.A. doctors usually get people who will have coronary artery bypass surgery to stop taking aspirin7 days before the operationB. aspirin is believed to increase release of thromboxaneC. taking aspirin up to the day coronary artery bypass grafting is performed seems to slow lung function recovery afterwardsD. patients suffering a heart attack have a lower level of thromboxane2. The purpose of the passage is to introduce to us that _________.A. aspirin can make for release of thromboxaneB. aspirin is useful for patients suffering a heart attackC. different ways turn out to be the same resultD. aspirin may improve recovery after heart bypass3. According to Dr Rabin Gerrah, patients who will have heart bypass surgery should _______.A. stop taking aspirin before the surgeryB. take aspirin as much as they like until the day of the surgeryC. be allowed to take 100 milligrams of aspirin daily until the day of the surgeryD. take aspirin after the heart bypass operation4. What does the underlined word ―inhibit‖ in paragraph 3 mean?A. to become larger or better than normalB. to make something happen more slowly than normalC. to cause to be nervous or embarrassedD. to improve something in poor condition【参考答案】1—4、ADCB【附】阅读理解概述（2）题型探究探究点一细节理解题一、题型特点与命题方式所谓细节题，是指原文提到了某事物、现象或理论，题干针对原文具体叙述本身发问。

Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources (来源), as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills (风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were fi rst introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground when electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.风能早在公元前七世纪就开始被人们用风车所利用，当人们发明了电以后，风能被用来发电，但随着电的广泛使用，风车逐渐不被人们使用了。

Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers.Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated(展示) a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person’s thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord(脊髓) to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories:communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.1. BCI is a technology that can.A. help to update computer systemsB. link the human brain with computersC. help the disabled to recoverD. control a person’s thoughts2. How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?A. By controlling his muscles.B. By talking to the machine.C. By moving his hand.D. By using his mind.3. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchairB. computer→cap→scalp→wheelchairC. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchairD. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair4. The team will test with real patients to.A. make profits from themB. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longerD. learn about their physical condition5. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Switzerland, the BCI Research CenterB. New Findings About How the Human Brain WorksC. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the DisabledD. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries【参考答案】1--5 、BDCBC故事记叙型阅读理解(一)One Tuesday evening in the beginning of the fall 1996 semester (学期) at Shippensburg University, sirens(警报) sounded.These sirens were not in celebration; they were a cry to the university that something was wrong.A house, only one block away, was onfi re.Nine of the university’s students lived there.From the minute the word got out that help was needed, it seemed like everyone showed up.The victims (受灾者) of the fire were offered endless invitations for housing for the night.The very next day, everyone got_into_gear to do their part in helping them.Flyers(＝handbills) wereposted with items that were immediately needed, just to get these students through this next couple of days.Boxes for donations (捐赠品) and money jars were placed in every residence hall (学生宿舍)．As a residence director, I went before the students in my hall to ask them to do what they could.I knew that college st udents don’t have much, but I asked them to do their best: “Every little bit will help.” I really didn’t think they could do much.I was proved wrong.At the hall council meeting the night after the fire, my residents decided to have a wing competition, where each wing of the building would team up to see who could bring in the most donations.I announced that the wing who won would receive a free pizza party.Thursday evening we announced over the PA system that we were beginning the wing competition.Within minutes, the place exploded.The single large box that I had placed in the lobby (大厅) was overflowing.We quickly grabbed more boxes, and we watched in amazement as they, too, filled to the brim(边；沿)．Members of the resident assistant staff and I began to count the items.I was astonished by what I saw, and I was inspired by these kids.When we came to the final tally(得分), the winners turned to me and announced that they would like to donate their winnings as well.They wanted the victims of the fire tohave their pizza party.Tears welled up in my eyes.I had watched these students jump to action, work tirelessly and donate all that they could.And then, as if that were not enough, they handed over their reward.I was touched and so very proud of them.()1.The writer mainly wanted to________ by the story.A．tell us nine of the college students suffered from a fireB．sing praise of the college students helping the victims selflesslyC．describe how successful the wing competition wasD．express he was deeply moved by the college students’ action()2.The phrase “got into gear”in the second paragraph means ________.

How is it that siblings (兄弟姐妹) can turn out so differently? One answer is that in fact each sibling grows upin a different family. The firstborn is, for a while, an only child, and therefore has a completely different experience of the parents than those born later. The next child is, for a while, the youngest, until the situation is changed by a new arrival. The mother and father themselves are changing and growing up too. One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years; another might be raised in a family crisis, with a disappointed mother or an angry father.Sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918. But more recently, researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each others’lives. Dr. Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings. The reason for this might be that the later childre n aren’t getting the same one- on- one time with parents. But that doesn’t mean that the younger children have problems with language development. Later- borns don’t enjoy that much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between “I” and “me”.A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially. Love- hate relationships were common among the children. Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. Researchers have foundthat the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third. Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being morefeminine than girls with sisters. A 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years, finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents.1. The underlined part “in a different family” (in Para. 1) means" ______".A. in a different family environmentB. in a different family traditionC. in different family crisesD. in different families2. In terms of language development, later- borns_______ .A. get their parents’individual guidanceB. learn a lot from their elder siblingsC. experience a lot of difficultiesD. pick up words more quickly3. What was found about fights among siblings?A. Siblings hated fighting and loved playing.B. Siblings in some families fought frequently.C. Sibling fights led to bad sibling relationships.D. Siblings learned to get on together from fights.4. The word“feminine” (in Para. 4) means "______".A. having qualities of parentsB. having qualities of womenC. having defensive qualitiesD. having extraordinary qualities【参考答案】1—4、ABDB阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A()What separates me from everyone else? The difference is not what clothes I wear or the music I listen too, but what I feel inside.Ever since I was young, I have loved professional wrestling. I woke up every Saturday to watch my favorite "Superstars." As I grew older, I got a lot of flak for watching this "fake" sport. My peers would laugh at me for following what was called a "man's soap opera." So, I put my love for wrestling on the shelf. Like everyone else, I wanted to be associated with the cool clique. I yearned to be invited to the parties of the in-crowd and hang out with the popular kids. I became pretty successful. Although my Friday evenings were busy with parties, I would still wake up early Saturdays to watch wrestling. It wasn't until freshman year that I realized I wasn't being myself.That year, I tried many new things and activities and made new friends. In my town, football was the sport, so I decided to play football, thinking it might give me a head start in popularity. The team started with 48 athletes. At the end, there were 14 of us left. I stuck it out not because I liked it, but because I am not a quitter. That long season taught me a lesson: I wasn't a football player. More importantly, it taught me to be myself.After that season, I went back to being a wrestling fan. I watched it religiously, no matter what insults were thrown my way. I came across a quote: "Don't Dream It, Be It." When I read this, my friend Dan had the same idea I had."What if we build a wrestling ring?" we asked. We acquired the necessary wood and equipment for its construction. The following weekend, we met at his house. We saw our dream in a pile in his backyard. We worked from dawn to dusk to build our great establishment. By Sunday night, our mission was complete. Our hard work (combined with a little creativity) had paid off. We had a real ring. We decided to hold an "event." We practiced for hours, trying to improve every aspect of our wrestling ability. The date was May 24th. Our show had a start time of 9: 00 p.m. To our surprise, about one hundred family, friends and fans showed up to support us. It was the most important night of my life and a complete success. Since that time, we have held five shows with as many as two hundred and fifty people turning out. We continue to live this dream. We accomplished what we set out to do. We are now well known throughout school. When I walk down the halls, I am respected by my peers.Some are the same peers who ridiculed me for watching wrestling when I was younger. When they approach me, they often say, "Good match, Chris." I humbly say, "Thank you," knowing I did something I believed in.As my senior year winds down, I'll remember all of my high school memories. But what will stick out most is the memory that I did something I loved, despite what everyone said or thought. I accomplished my goal ... I lived my dream.41. What makes the writer different from the others is __________.A. the different sports he lovesB. the different clothes he wears and the different music he listens toC. that he is younger than the others.D. the different ideas he has42. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph mean?A. I practiced wrestling secretly in my spare time.B. I put the clothes for wrestling on the shelf.C. I decided to quit practicing wrestling.D. I began not to watch wrestling on TV.43. When the writer was a freshman, he ___________.A. knew he couldn’t be a football player.B. realized he was being himself.C. became very sociable.D. built a wrestling ring.44. The writer built the wrestling ring in order to ________.A. play football thereB. make his dream realizedC. be a professional playerD. have parties there.45.

Teachers teach and students learn, and many scientists are interested in finding ways to improve both the teaching and learning processes.Some researchers, such as Sian Beilock and Susan Levine, are trying to learn about learning. Beilock and Levine are psychologists at the University of Chicago. Psychologists study the ways people think and behave, and these researchers want to know how a person’s thoughts and behavior are related.In a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school, Beilock and Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn: If a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills, then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math.“If these girls keep ge tting math-anxious female teachers in later grades, it may create a snowball effect on their math achievement,〞 Levine told Science News. The study suggests that if these girls grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are, then these girls may not do as well as they would have if they were more confident.Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult, teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to learn—and teach. The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyon e. Researchers use the word “anxiety〞to describe such feelings: anxiety is uneasiness or worry. (Many people, for example, have anxiety about going to the dentist because they’re worried about pain.)The new study found that when a teacher has anxiety about math, that feeling can influence how her female students feel about math. The study involved 65 girls, 52 boys and 17 first- and second-grade teachers in elementary schools in the Midwest. The students took math achievement tests at the beginning and end of the school year, and the researchers compared the scores.The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed that a math superstar had to be a boy. Then the researchers turned to the teachers: To find out which teachers were anxious about math, the researchers asked the teachershow they felt at times when they came across math, such as when reading a sales receipt.A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt, for example, was probably anxious about math.Boys, on average, were unaffected by a teacher’s anxiety. On average, girls with math-anxious teachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests than other girls in the study did. Plus, on the test showing whether someone thought a math superstar had to be a boy, 20 girls showed feeling that boys would be better at math—and all of these girls had been taught by female teachers who had math anxiety.According to surveys done before this one, college students who want to become elementary school teachers have the highest levels of anxiety about math. Plus, nine of every 10 elementary teachers are women, Levine said.This study was small, and it’s often difficult to see large patterns in small studies, David Geary told Science News. Geary, a psychologist at the University of Missouri in Columbia, studies how children learn math. “This is an interesting study, but the results need to be interpreted as preliminary and in need of replication with a larger sample,〞 Geary said. That means that the results are just showing something that might be happening, but more studies should be done. If more studies find the same trend as this one, then it’s possible that a teacher’s anxiety over math really is affecting her female students.50. Sian Beilock and Susan Levine carried out the new research in order to ______.A. know the effects of teaching on learningB. study students’ ways of learning mathC. prove women teachers are unfit to teach mathD. find better teaching methods for teachers51. The underlined part in paragraph 4 most probably means that girls may ______.A. end up learning math with anxiety from their teachersB. study the ways their female teachers behaveC. have an influence on their math-anxious female teachersD. gain unexpected achievement in such subjects as math52. In the study, what were the teachers required to do?A. Prepare two math achievement tests for the students.B. Tell their feelings about math problems.C. Answer whether a math superstar had to be a boy.D. Compare the students’ scores after the math tests.53. What is the finding of the new study?A. No male students were affected by their teachers’ anxiety.B. Almost all the girls got lower scores in the tests than the boys.C. About 30% of the girls thought boys are better at math than girls.D. Girls with math-anxious teachers all failed in the math tests.54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. 117 students and teachers took part in the new study.B. The researchers felt surprised at the findings of their study.C. Beilock and Levine are interested in teaching math.D. Men teachers are better at teaching math than women teachers.第二节：美国长大的台湾人气歌手Wang Lee Hom在接受CNN Talk Asia栏目专访时，答复了主持人Lorraine Hahn提出的五个问题〔第61—65题〕。

Something that hasalways interested me about Abraham Lincoln is, not surprisin gly, his sense of humor. As far as I can tell, he’s the first Amer ican President to have one.That’s because the term“sense of humor”really wasn’t in com mon usage until the eighteen sixties and seventies. In the eig hteen forties and fifties, it was called“the sense of the ridiculo us”, and didn’t have the positive connotations(隐含意义)that“sense of hum or”has today. Back then, what was ridicu lous was what invited ridicule(讥笑). Funniness and cruelty went hand in hand. Of course, they still do a lot of arm-in-arm walking in our day as well.’s humor was very different because, for one thing, it was actu ally“humor”as what the word meant in his time. We don’t mak e the distinction between“wit(风趣)”and“humor”anymore; but in the nineteenth century people did. Wit was unpleasant and offensive while humor was pleasant and sympathetic. It’s the difference we note now when we distinguish between“laughing with”and“laughing at”. was mu ch more about“laughing with”than“laughing at”. And when“lau ghing at”, it was often himself he was teasing.In the famous Lincoln-Douglas debate, when Douglas accused Lincoln of being two-faced, replied, referencing his plain looking, “Honestly, if I we re two-faced, would I be showing you this one? ”And, in a way, ’s fac e itself tells us much about his sense of humor.You can comb through thousands of photographs of politician s, soldiers, and the like from ’s time and not find a single smile .True, the long exposures(曝光)required for photographs of that time made smiling difficult. Yet alone, as far as I can tell, overcame that difficulty.Interestingly, while having a sense of humor, or at least the appear ance of one provided by comedy writers, has become a neces sary characteristic for an American President in our time, in th e nineteenth century, too much humor was considered a probl em. And that was the case for . A journalist covering the Linco ln-Douglas debate commented that“I could not take a real perso nal liking to the man, owing to an inborn weakness for which h e was even then notorious and so remained during his great p ublic career, he was extremely fond of jokes, anecdotes, and stories. ”【文章大意】说起第16任美国总统亚伯拉罕·林肯, 很多人会立即想起他对解放黑奴和维护美利坚联邦完整所做出的巨大贡献, 想起他能言善辩的口才和妙语连珠的演讲, 但却很少有人知道, 林肯的“幽默感”也开创了一个新时代。

We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.“You could win prizes, “ our teacher told us as she wrote the p oster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets o f construction paper while continuing, “The first prize is ten dol lars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackb oard appear somewhere on your poster. “We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one e ye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking t he sheets to the right or left while weconjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their e rasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. I’m going to spe nd mine on candies, one hopeful would announce, while anot her practiced looking serious, wise and rich.Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corne r of our poster and let the space draw the viewer’s attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students’ desks a nd then return to our own projects with a growing sense of ho pelessness.

Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked,“Do you think they’ll let me play?”Shay’s father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team,but the fathe r also understood that if his son,mentally and physically disabl ed,were allowed to play,it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence.Shay’s father approached one of the boys on the field and ask ed if Shay could play,not expecting much. The boy looked aro und and said,“We’re losing by six runs(分)and the game is in t he eighth inning(局). I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the final inning. “Shay struggled over to the team’s bench and put on a team s hirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his ey e and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father’s joy at his son being accepted.In the bottom of the eighth inning,Shay’s team scored a few ru ns but was still behind by three. In the top of the final inning,S hay put on a glove and played in the field. Even though no hit s came his way,he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field. In the bottom of the final inning,Shay’s team scored again. Now,Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. Wo uld they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the ga me?Surprisingly,Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch(投) came and Shay mi ssed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in,Shay swung at t he ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher. The pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first base man and Shay would have been out and that would have bee n the end of the game. Instead,the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman,beyond the reach of all tea mmates. The audience and the players from both teams start ed screaming,“Shay,run to first!“ Never in his life had Shay ev er run that far but made it to first base,wide-eyed and shocked.Everyone shouted,“Run to second!“ Catching his breath,Shay awkwardly ran towards second. By the time Shay rounded towards second base,the smallest guy on their team,who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time,could have thrown the ball to the second baseman,but he understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball hig h and far over the third baseman’s head.All were scr eaming,“Shay,Shay,Shay,all the way Shay. “ Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted,“Shay,run to third. “ As Shay rounded third,all w ere on their feet,crying,“Shay,run home!”Shay ran to home,ste pped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who wo n the game for his team.That day,the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of tru e love and humanity into this world. Shay didn’t make it to ano ther summer and died that winter,having never forgotten bein g the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!1.

In the bottom of the final inning Shay was given the bat bec ause the boys .A. believed they were sure to win the gameB. would like to help Shay enjoy the gameC. found Shay was so eager to be a winnerD. felt forced to give Shay another chance3.

Which of the followinghas nothing to do with Shay’s becomi ng the hero for his team?A. The pitcher did not throw the ball to the first baseman.B.
