2021-2022年高三下学期第七次模拟考试英语试题含答案

2021-2022年高三下学期第七次模拟考试英语试题含答案第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)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。

AHow will you celebrate New Year’s Eve? By having a party with your classmates? Going to the karaoke for a singing petition? Many people around the world celebrate the day. Let’s have a look at what people in other countries do.In the United States, thousands of people jam into Times Square in New York to wele in the new year at midnight. The change from New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day is very exciting. People count down the seconds to wele the new day as the New Year ball slowly gets down and lights up the area.In Spain, when the clock strikes midnight, everyone eats 12 grapes. They eat one grape for each toll (钟声) to bring good luck for the next 12 months of the new year.In Scotland, fireworks are set off in front of the Edinburgh Castle. Immediately after midnight, people sing Auld Lang Syne. The words are inScottish and mean “days gone by”. The famous Scottish poet Robert Burns wrote the song.In Brazil, most people wear white clothes on New Year’s Eve to bring good luck for the new year. If they live near a beach, after midnight, people go there, light candles in the sand, throw flowers in the sea and make a wish. They say that the goddess who protects the sea will make their wishes e true.Did you know?The date January 1 was picked by the Roman leader Julius Caesar as the change of the year when he established his own calendar in 46 BC. The month of January was named after the Roman god, Janus. He is pictured with two heads. One head looks forward and the other back. They represent a break between the old and new.1. What’s the best title of the passage?A. The history of New Year.B. 12 grapes, 12 months .C. Where to celebrate the New Year’s Eve.D.New Year joy all around the world.2. We can learn from the last paragraph that .A. Janus established the calendarB. Julius Caesar made the month of January the start of a yearC. The calendar before 46BC was the same as the one todayD. Julius Caesar was the Roman god3. What does the underlined word jam in the second paragraph mean?A. e in a large numberB. walk up and downC. rush from time to timeD. e now and thenBThere is a lot of talk these days about how kids should be interested in science. Here’s an area of science for everyone, and these cool new books might inspire you to discover your inner scientist.Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled by Catherine Thimmesh, 58 pages, ages 9-12Seeing a picture or a model of a dinosaur, do you wonder how anybody knows what they look like? After all, nobody has seen a living dinosaur. This book explains how scientists and artists work together to re-create dinosaurs. As scientific discoveries have been made, the models havechanged. Scientific tests may one day expose what a dinosaur’s coloring was, but now artists have to use their imagination to determine how these huge creatures looked.Beyond the Solar System by Mary Kay Carson, 128 pages, ages 10-13This book takes readers back to the beginnings of space exploration—thousands of years ago, when people began star observation—and forward to today’s search for planets in distant parts of the Milky Way. Along with history lessons, readers get 21 activities, such as making a black hole and creating a model of Albert Einstein’s universe using a T-shirt. The activities are perfect for cold winter days. Ultimate Bugopedia by Darlyne Murawski and Nancy Honovich, 272 pages, ages 7 and olderIf you’re always on the lookout for butterflies, this book is for you. Hundreds of color photos of mon and unusual insects fill this hardcover. There are fascinating stories related to the photos. For example, do you know an insect feeds on the tears of Asian cattle? There’s a question-and-answer section with an insect scientist and advice on how to help preserve endangered insects.Journey Into the Invisible by Christine Schlitt, 80 pages, ages 9-12 If you use a magnifying(放大的)glass, you know a leaf looks quite different. This book explains what microscopes do and then shows what happens to things around the house when watched with this amazing scientific tool. The bacteria(细菌) in your mouth, when magnified 20,000 times, look a bit like swimming pool noodles. Fascinating photos are paired with suggestions about how to learn about the world around you, just by looking a little closer.4. Kids interested in pre-historical animals might read ______.A. Ultimate BugopediaB. Beyond the Solar SystemC. Journey Into the InvisibleD. Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled5.

The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A. pare features of different booksB. inspire people to bee scientistsC. teach children some knowledge of scienceD. remend new science books to childrenCThe man who admitted to killing an Italian woman inside her East Harlem apartment said he was possessed by an “evil spell (咒语),” police said Thursday.Bakary Camara, 41, who once dated the murdered woman, penned his admission of guilt in a three-page letter folded in his pocket as he tried to kill himself after policemen burst into his home. Kelly, a policeman, said “He says that there was an evil spell that was cast on him.”Camara, who was in stable condition at St. Barnabas Hospital, was later charged with the murder of Rita Morelli.The 36-year-old woman was getting a degree at Borough of Manhattan munity College as she waited tables at Caffe Buon Gusto on the upper East Side, police said. Camara called 911 from a payphone after killing the lively Morelli on Nov. 23.Her body was later found in her E. 120th St. home. She was hanged and had knife wounds to her throat and chest.Policemen began dialing numbers from Morelli’s cell phone and when Camara picked up, a detective recognized his voice as the man who called in the report of a dead body, police said. When officers went to Camara’s home, he locked himself inside, forcing policemen to burst down the front door to catch him.“He is standing there with a knife pointed at his chest,” Kelly, a policeman, said. “He makes threatening statements as to the fact that he killed the woman. He then stabs himself in the chest.”Camara, who told police he served six years in prison for robbery back in his native country, was still waiting to be charged with murder Thursday.Morelli left her hometown of Spoltore, Italy, five years ago to fullyexperience the arts and music culture of the big city, her family said.8. The reason why Camara killed the woman was _______.A. he didn’t love her any moreB. the passage didn’t tell us clearlyC. he killed her by mistakeD. he loved her dearly9.

Camara was seriously wounded.10. From the passage we know ______.A. Camara was in his native countryB. “Evil spell” really worksC. Camara and Morelli are husband and wifeD. Camara and Morelli knew each other11. What did Camara do after killing the woman?A. He called to report a dead body.B. He called the hospital to save the woman.C. He regretted and tried to kill himself but failed.D. He called the police and was ready to be arrested.DDriving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制药), damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination(协调), slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving limit, driving will be affected.Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:● 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or● 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or● 67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine (尿液).Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who mit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.Any drive found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens (样本) far breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.12. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.A. the introduction of driving skillsB. the damage of drinking to your bodyC. the effect of drinking on drivingD. the process of alcoholbeing absorbed13. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”.A. alcoholB. absorptionC. bloodD. process14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.B. Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.C. Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.D. 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink limit.15. A drive suspected of drink driving ________.A. should provide specimens for testingB. will be forbidden to drive for 3yearsC. will be punished for 10 driving-offence pointsD. should pay a maximum fine of HK $25,000第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Intelligence only_____ for her lack of experience in part. A.accountsB.compensatesC.countsD.answers6.Some of the United States’ biggest banks have closed their doors to students at community colleges, for-profit universities and other less competitive schools, even as they continue to extend government-backed loans to students at eh nation’s top universities.Citibank has been among the most active in rebuilding the list of colleges it serves. JPMorgan Chase, PNC and SunTrust say have not dropped whole loan plans, but are cutting colleges. Some less-selective four-year colleges, like Eastern Oregon University and William Jessup University, say they have been dropped by some lenders.The practice suggests that if the credit crisis and poor conditions in the student loan business continue, some of the nation’s ne ediest students will be hurt most. The difficulty of borrowing money may keep them from attending school or force them to take a semester(学期) off. For those who have got student loans, they will end up with less attractive terms and may run a greater risk of dropping out if they have to change lenders in the middle of their college year.Tuition and loan amounts can be quite small at community colleges. But these institutions, which are a stepping stone to other educational programs or to better jobs, often draw students from the lower ranks of the economic classes. According to the most recent data, about a third of US graduates took out loans, a majority of them guaranteed by the government.“If put too many obstacles in their way to get a loan, they ’ll take a third job or use a credit card,” said Jacqueline K. Bradley, assistant director for financial aid at Mendocino College. “That almost guarantees that they won’t be as successful in their college career.”Some loan companies have stopped the students loan business entirely, viewing it as unprofitable in the current environment. Students attending first-class, expensive, public and private four-year universities can expect to remain plentiful. The banks generally say these loans are bigger, more profitable, and less risky, perhaps in part because the banks expect graduates from these universities to earn more.So far, financial aid administrators say they have been able to find some lenders that students can switch to, but this is costly to students--- in money and time.59. Who will be the most upset at the news?A. A poor students at a top university.B. A poor students at a community university.C. A bank clerk dealing with student loan business.D. A teacher from a for-profitable university.60. With too many obstacles in their way to get a loan, students will probably__________.A. switch to top universitiesB. cancel their credit cardsC. fail in their examsD. win a scholarship61. When they say something is “government-backed”, you mean it is ___________.A. guaranteed by the governmentB. dropped by the governmentC. against governmentD. for government62. What is the best title for the passage?A. The students loan business in America.B. Banks and universities in America.C. Student loans start to drop colleges.D. Credit crisis starts to affect loans.7.Mum, please let us, Mary and me, go to Jack’s birthday party tomorrow, ______? A.can youB.will youC.shall weD.may we8.--- Sorry to have interrupted you. Please go on. --- Where was I?--- You ________ you didn’t like to be prejudiced against.A.saidB.had saidC.were sayingD.had said9.I think it will be long ______ the influence of Sanlu Milk Powder incident dies down. A.thatB.sinceC.beforeD.after10.Fathers often feel __________ their duty to earn more money for their family. A.thatB.itC.oneD.what11. ……This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight’s about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She is a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election, except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons, because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America: the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.When there was despair in the Dust Bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "we shall overcome." Yes we can.A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can.America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there’s so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves, if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?(From Obama’s victory speech, 2008 )56. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Ann Nixon Cooper was once a slave.B. Ann Nixon Cooper is a black woman.C. Ann Nixon Cooper knows Obama and his family very well.D. Ann Nixon Cooper contributed much to the changes of America.57. What does the underlined part“cast her ballot”in the first paragraph probably mean?A. expressed her happinessB. worked for ObamaC. voted in the electionD. celebrated the victory58. What message does this part of Obama’s speech mainly send?A. Ann Nixon Cooper has experienced the best time and the darkest hours of America in the last century.B. America has undergone great development in the last century and is looking forward to more great changes.C. Ann Nixon Cooper has witnessed the development and democracy of America.D. This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations.12.A terrible earthquake struck Sichuan Province on May 12, _____ tens of thousands of lives.A.claimingB.claimedC.causingD.caused13.完形填空(共20小题,每小题1.5分,满分30分)When she was seven, we found out that Jenny had a few problems.

He walked in the streets of Brooklyn day after day with his favorite music blasting directly into his ears. By his early 20s, Michel had lost much of his upper-range hearing.The Children’s Hearing Institute reports that hearing loss among children and young adults is rising in the United States, and that one third of the damage is caused by noise. Surrounded By NoiseWe live in a noisy world. Young and old alike are beset by sounds over which we may have little or no control: power mowers, leaf blowers, snow blowers, cars and house alarms, sirens, motorcycles, Jet Skis, loudspeakers, even movie previews.We attend rock concerts, weddings, parties and sports events at which the music is so loud you can hardly hear the person sitting next to you. At home, televisions, stereos and computer games are often turned up so loud that listeners can not hear a doorbell or telephone. Many “modern ” restaurants have chosen noise enhancement instead ofabatement(减轻). Any time you need to shout to be heard by someone near you, your hearing is most likely to be in a decibel(分贝) danger zone.As if environmental noise were not enough, now we surround children with noisy toys and personal listening devices that can permanently damage their hearing. Toys that meet the safety standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials can produce sound up to 138 decibels, as loud as a jet plane taking off. Yet workplace rules require hearing protection for those exposed to noise above 85 decibels.Protecting Young EarsBefore buying noisemaking toys, parents would do well to listen to how loud they are. If the toy comes with a volume control, monitor its use to make sure it is kept near the lowest level. Consider returning gifts that make loud noises, disable the noise-making function. Or limit the use of noisy toys to outside play areas.Children who play computer games and stereo equipment should be warned to keep the volume down. Time spent in video arcades, where the noise level can be over 110 decibels, should be strictly limited. Most iPods have a control that allow parents to set a maximum volume.Don’t take children to loud action movies. If you do go and the sound seems deafening, ask the manager to turn down the volume or insist on you money back. Children who play in bands and teenagers who use power tools, gardening equipment or guns should be made to wear hearing protection, available at sporting goods stores.The League for the Hard of Hearing urges parents to encourage participation in quiet activities, like reading, watching family-oriented films, doing puzzles, making thins with construction toys, playing educational computer games, drawing and painting, and visiting librarians and museums.All That noise is damaging Ch ildren’s HearingIntroductionA boy lost much of his hearing due to being ___71___ to headphones.ProblemMore and more children have suffered from hearing ___72___ loss.Causes of theproblems★___73___ noise from:a) power mowers, leaf blowers, snow blowers, and etc.b) the music at rock concerts, weddings, parties and sports events which ___74___ us hearing someone nearby;c) televisions, stereos and computer games ___75___ than doorbells or telephonesd) “modern ” restaurants★Noise from:toys and listening devices which cause ___76___ damage to hearing.___77___ tothe problem★Monitor the volume of toys★___78___ gifts making loud noise★Limit children's time spent in video arcades★___79___ taking children to loud action movies★Make children wear hearing protection when around loud noise★Encourage children to ___80___ in quiet activities17.Only after being attacked by the Japanese in Pearl Harbor ___in the Second World War thoroughly.A.had America involvedB.was America involvedC.America had involvedD.America was involved18.--- ________ the class done most of the work?--- Yes, but the rest ___________ rather difficult.A.Has, areB.Has, isC.Have, areD.Have, is19.The problem lies __________ we are now giving him a fish, not teaching him to fish.A.in thatB.on thatC.in whichD.on which20.There was once a beautiful nymph called Echo. But Echo had one failing; she was fond of talking, and whether in chat or argument, would have the last word. As she was good company , she and Zeus became good friends. However,Zeus’ wife, Hera, became jealous. She followed Zeus to the earth to find out what he was doing and Zeus asked Echo to distract Hera until he could escape. Later when Hera discovered she had been tricked, she became very angry. S he turned on Echo and said, “You shall lose the use of your tongue because you cheated me. You’ll have the last word, bur no longer have the power to speak first.” So from that moment on, Beautiful Echo was hardly able to hold a conversation because she could only repeat the last words of those around her. She became very embarrassed and hid herself deep in the woods.One day a handsome young man called Narcissus came into the woods. He had been hunting deer and lost his way. However, the moment Echo saw him, she fell in love with him. She followed him, wishing to tell him but unable o begin a conversation. Oh, how she wished she could speak first. Unfortunately, Narcissus was far too busy worrying about where his companions might be and how he could find his way home. Eventually Narcissus, with Echo following behind along, came to a pool of water in the middle of the woods. Feeling thirsty, Narcissus bent down to drink. As he did so, he saw a beautiful creature in the water staring up at him. . He immediately bent over andsaid to him, “I love you!” Echo, nearby, and seeing her chance, immediately responded “…. I love you!” But it was too late. Narcissus was already in love, with himself.` The stranger seemed to rise up closer to Narcissus who was so involved that he entirely failed to notice Echo. “I want to stay and look at this beautiful sight forever,” he whispered dreamily to himself.”… Forever,” repeated Echo sadly. “Come her,” called Narcissus to his reflection as he moved his head and the creature seemed to move away. “…Here.” responded Echo. Narcissus bent back down to see his reflection more clearly. “So beautiful! I’ve never seen anything so beautiful!” “….So beautiful!” responded Echo truthfully.Narcissus remained by the water refusing all Echo’s silent offers of food and drink until he died. Where he had been, a flower grew in his place, as beautiful as Narcissus himself. As for Echo, from that time forward, she also didn’t eat or drink till she turned to rocks and all that was left was her voice. Even now you can still hear Echo trying to attract Narcissus’ attention by repeating his words and still see Narcissus as a beautiful flower growing near a pool.63. Why was Echo unable to let Narcissus know she loved him?A. Because she had lost the ability to speak.B. Because she was too shy to speak first.C. Because Hera had taken away her ability to speak first.D. Because Narcissus took no notice of her.64. “The stranger” in paragraph 4 refers to ______.A. EchoB. A fairy in the woods.C. Hera.D.

It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course," she said."Can we write him a letter?"She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked."No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon.I asked her what it was for."Just wait, honey. You'll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wroteabout my day, what I learned at school, how Morn was doing, and even about what happenedin a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gavethe letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped(缠绕) the balloonstring. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining."Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."The balloon, carrying my letter, darted(猛冲) upward against the rain. We watcheduntil it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get himdown. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he'd persevere, dart up, and finallytranscend(超越) this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and becamesomething beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and whiteand I prayed that his strength was hereditary(遗传的). I prayed to be a balloon.56. When the girl asked her mother if they could write to her father, her mother ______.A. felt it hard to answerB. thought her a creative girlC. believed it easy to do soD. found it easy to lie57.

A great fatherBWASHINGTON--President Bush plans to meet next week with top Pentagon and StateDepartment officials, and hopes to offer a revised Iraq plan within two weeks, aides(政府官员的副手)said Friday. White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said today Bush wants to give a major speechon Iraq before Christmas, "but that is not set in stone."At a morning meeting with congressional leaders, Bush said, "We talked aboutthe need for a new way forward in Iraq."Bush will visit the State Department on Monday and meetings with militaryofficials will follow over the next two days, according to a tentative White Houseschedule. All are involved in an ongoing administration review of the situation inIraq."These are deliberative(慎重的) meetings and discussions," said Gordon Johndroe,a spokesman for the National Security Council. "They will inform the president'sthinking, and he will inform their thinking."Bush said he is also reviewing the Iraq Study Group report released Wednesday.Its suggestions include withdrawing US troops by early 2008, conditions permitting, and a new diplomatic(外交的) effort including Iraq's neighbors, Iran and Syria. The president said he also wanted the troops home too, but not until the new Iraq government can sustain(支撑) itself. He expressed skepticism(怀疑态度) about possible talks with Iran and Syria, saying they must stop efforts to undermine(削弱) Iraq's fledgling(年轻的) democracy.60. The word “revised” in Paragraph One can be replaced by "_______".A. rewritingB. changedC. importantD. directed61. The word "that" in Paragraph Two refers to ________.A. President Bush plans to meet next week with top Pentagon and State Department officialsB. the thing that President Bush hopes to offer a revised Iraq plan within two weeksC. what White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said todayD. the thing that President Bush wants to give a major speech on Iraq before Christmas62. The last paragraph shows us that _____.A. President Bush wants to have a talk with Iraq's neighbors, Iran and SyriaB. Bush will make his troops go home unless the new Iraq government can sustain itselfC. Bush will make his troops go home if the new Iraq government can sustain itselfD. President Bush is sure to have a talk with Iraq's neighbors, Iran and SyriaCAlthough women lead healthier, longer lives, the cruel opinion that they become "old” sooner than men is widespread in the workplace, research shows.A survey of more than 2,600 managers and personnel professionals showed that age discrimination is not only common in the workplace, but is shot through with inconsistencies (矛盾).Six in ten managers reported being a victim of age discrimination -- usually because they were turned down for a job for being too old or too young. Yet more than a fifth admitted that they used age as an important standard.Although the survey found widespread agreement that older workers were better than younger colleagues when it came to reliability, commitment (承担义务), loyalty (忠诚) and customer service, these qualities were not necessarily considered to be worthy of advancement.A large number of persons believed that workers between 30 and 39 had the best promotion chances, with only 2 per cent giving examples of 50-year-olds or above. There was evidence that people were considered old at different ages in different jobs. A young man working in IT said he was considered too old by the age of 28. In fact there was no evidence to suggest that older workers were less valuable to companies than younger workers, in fact the opposite was often true because older workers often brought experience.The findings also suggested that the Government's ideas on age in the workforce may also be out of step with reality.63.Which is the discrimination mentioned in this passage?A. The healthier women are, the sooner they will lose their jobs.B. Society knows women should be respected, but it doesn't offer them any jobs.C. Female managers respect male workers, but male managers don't respect female workers.D. victims of age discrimination consider age as an important standard.64.Older workers are better than younger colleagues because they have many advantagesexcept that they are _____.A. dependableB. marriedC. faithfulD. helpful65.Why does the writer mention a young man working in IT?A. Because the writer thinks it a pity that this young man is old.B. Because it's an example of different age standards in different jobs.C. Because IT industry is developing too fast.D. Because the writer doesn't think the young man is old.66. Which statement is true according to the writer's attitude?A. The present age standard doesn't go with reality.B. The present age standard is reasonable.C. women should work longer than men.D. Young workers should learn from old workers.DFor a while, my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers. They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. "Come on!" My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. "You'll feel great."Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army, I'm not alone in my opinion.First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet will be a real pounding ruining down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn't kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn't my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, "I love being out there with just my thoughts." Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn't just thefirst week: it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn't fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?I don't jog any more, and I don't think I ever will. I'm walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I'm getting exercise, and I'm enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I've found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.67. From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer's neighborhood ____.A. jogging became very popularB. people jogged only during the daytimeC. Alex organized an army of joggersD. jogging provided a chance to get together68. What was the writer's attitude towards jogging in the beginning?A. He felt it was worth a try.B. He was very fond of it.C. He was strongly against it.D. He thought it must be painful.69. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?A. He disliked doing exercise outside.B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.D. He was worried about being left alone.70. From the writer's experience, we can conclude that ____.A. not everyone enjoys joggingB. he is the only person who hates joggingC. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fitD. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport第四部分书面表达(满分25分)当前我国政府和人民正努力把我国建设成一个社会关系和谐的国家。

When someone tells you something that is true, but 36 important information that should be included, he can create a false 37 .For Example, a man once told me, “I just won a hundred dollars on the 38 . It was great. I 39 that ticket back to the store and turned it in 40 one hundred dollars!”This guy is a winner, right? May be, may be not. Then 41 I discovered that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a 42 . He was 43 a big loser!He didn’t say anything that was false, 44 he left out important information 45 . That’s called a half—truth. Half—truths are not technically 46 , but they are just as dishonest.Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this 47 . Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her 48 lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she sought another 49 . One of her opponents put an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s 50 . However, an honest statement would have been quite different.Advertisers will sometimes use half—truths. It’s 51 the law to make false claims, so they 52 to misl ead you with the truth. An ad 53 blow its own horn, “Nine out of ten doctors lend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they only ask ten 54 , and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.This kind of 55 deception happens t oo often. It’s a fact of life: lies are lies, but sometimes the truth can lie as well.36. A. makes out B. leaves out C. tries out D. puts out37. A. chance B. expression C. impression D. translation38.

We get things wrong because we haven’t listened carefully enough. We get things wrong because we haven’t quite understood what someone meant when they were talking to us. Anyone who has ever taken the minutes of a long meeting will know how hard it is to remember-- despite the benefit of notes-- exactly what everyone said. But success depends on getting things right--and that means listening.Listening is not the same thing as hearing; it is not an effort actively. It demands attention and concentration. It may mean quizzing the speaker for additional information or for clarification------ it is always better to ask than to continue regardless and get things wrong. However, if you allow your mind to wander onto something else, even for a few minutes, you’ll miss what the speak er is saying------ probably at the very moment when he or she is saying something critical. And not having heard, you won’t know you’ve missed anything until it’s too late.The most common bad habit we have is to start thinking of what we are going to say about the subject long before the other speaker has finished. We then stop listening. Even worse, this often adds rudeness to inattentiveness, as once you have decided what to say there is a fair chance you will interrupt to say it. Good listeners don’t interrupt. In fact it is often worth explaining the main idea of what you have just been told before going on to make your own points. Nobody is offended by this and it shows that you have listened well.Above all be patient and accept that many people are not very good communicators. It’s helpful to remember that the ways people move and position themselves while they are speaking can reveal a great deal about what they are saying. Equally important you should put yourself in the other person’s place, both i ntellectually and emotionally; it will help you to understand what they are getting at and form a response. But don’t be too clever. Faced with a know-all, many people keep quiet because they see no point in continuing.56. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Don’t be too cleverB. Be a good listener.C. Don’t miss anything criticalD. Think of the speaker57. In the last paragraph, “…… what they are getting at ……” means________ .A. what they implyB. what they likeC. what they attackD. what they achieve58. What is the writer’s opinion?A. If you want to be a good listener, you should be very clever and emotional.B. Speakers won’t continue talking when their listeners explain what they’ve heard.C. If you don’t want to get things wrong, it’s important to be a good listener,D. It’s hard to be a good listener because listening tests you on your intelligence.59. What is the lesson we can learn from this passage?A. Don’t accuse others of not listening while talking with them.B. Don’t get anything wrong if you miss what the speaker is saying.C. Listening inattentively may cost you the loss of your success.D. Think carefully of what you’re going to say before the speaker finishes.BYou know Australia is a big country, but you may not know how easy it is to get around.

But, recognizing that a majority of consumers are wary of food from clones—and that cloning could damage the good image of American milk and meat—the report includes hundreds of pages of raw(原始的) data so that others can see how it came to its conclusions.The report also admits that human health concerns are not the only subject raised by the coming-out of cloned farm animals.“Moral, religious and ethical concerns have been raised,” the agenc y notes in a document accompanying the report. But the report is “exactly a science-based evaluation.” It reports, because the agency is not authorized by law to consider those subjects.In practice, it will be years before foods from clones make their way to store shelves in large quantities, in part because the clones themselves are too valuable to kill for meat or milk. Instead, the expensive animals—replicas(复制品) of some of the finest farm animals ever born—will be used firstly as breeding stock to create what supporters say will be a new generation of superior farm animals.When food from those animals hits the market, the public may yet have its say. FDA officials have said they do not expect to require food from clones to be labeled as such, but they may allow foods from ordinary animals to be labeled as not from clones.64. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. FDA has waited for a long time to get this final report.B. Products from cloned animals have been put into the market before.C. People are having the products from cloned animals safely.D. There have been once opposite opinions against cloned products.65. What does the underlined word “wary” mean?A. Disappointed.B. Careful.C. Fond.D. Proud.66. It will be a few years before foods from clones come into the market, partly because _____.A. people have little knowledge of the cloned animalsB. supporters can’t give powerful e vidence to support thatC. the few cloned animals will first be used to create superior animalsD. they are a new generation for the customers and are too valuable for the customers67. What can we conclude from the passage?A. FDA officials encourage people to eat more food from clones.B. FDA officials think the food from clones will sell better than ordinary food.C. People only worry about the health problems when it comes to foods from the clones.D. All the foods will not have detailed labels on them.DFew people would question the value of taking part in sports for young people.With proper training,supervision,protective equipment and techniques,and an proper emphasis on winning,sports can develop a healthy body and spirit and a life-long interest in being active and fit .Without such measures,childhood sports can lead to injuries and even paralysis or death.Even in the best conditions,no activity can be risk—free.But most serious hazards are preventable.Cyclists and football players can reduce their risks by wearing helmets;hockey players by wearing masks;basketball and tennis players by wearing eye guards;baseball players by wearing batting helmets.Besides,risks to individual players can often be found,and thus prevented,through a properly performed medical exam before a child plays.For accidents that may not be preventable,having an emergency plan and first-aid equipment,and someone trained to use the equipment,can be lifesaving.Still,each year,according to the American College of Sports Medicine,more than 775,000 children under 14 are treated in emergency rooms for sports injuries,nearly half of them preventable.An estimated 300,000 athletes experience exercise—related head illnesses each year,and almost all of them should have been avoided.Further,from half to three—fourths of sports-related concussions(脑震荡) are never even diagnosed;the injured are often sent back in to play too soon and put at risk of another more serious brain—damaging concussion.To help reduce these risks, the National Center for Sports Safety, with the National Athletic Trainers’ Association, offers a three-hour online safety course for coaches for $28 at . 68.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.All the accidents can be prevented.B.All the accidents cannot be prevented.C.Lives can be saved so long as there is proper equipment.D.Lives cannot be saved even if there is proper equipment.69.What does the underlined word “hazards”(in paragraph 2)mean?A.mistakes B.diseases C.dangers D.situations 70.It is implied in the passage that .A.prevention of injuries is not paid enough attention toB.children under 14 are more easily hurt in sportsC.most head illnesses are related with exerciseD.none of the head illnesses should have happened71.What can coaches mainly learn from the online safety course?A.How to cure brain-damaging concussion.B.How to diagnose brain-damaging concussion.C.How to predict the possibility of brain damage.D.How to deal with the injured properly.EIf U.S.software companies don't pay more attention to quality, they could kiss their business good-bye.Both India and Brazil are developing a world-class software industry.Their weapon is quality and one of their jobs is to attract the top U.S.quality specialists whose voices are not listened to in their country.Already, of the world's 12 software houses that have earned the highest ratingin the world, seven are in India.That's largely because they have used new methods rejected by American software specialists.For example, for decades, quality specialists, W.Edwards Deming and J.M.Juran had urged U.S.software companiesto change their attitudes to quality.But their quality call mainly fell on deaf earsin the U.S -- but not in Japan.By the 1970s and 1980s, Japan was grabbing market share with better, cheaper products.They used Deming's and Juran's ideas to bring down the cost of good quality to as little as 5% of total production costs.In U.S.factories, the cost of quality then was 10 times as high: 50%.In software,it still is.Watts S.Humphrey spent 27 years at IBM heading up software production and then quality assurance.But his advice was seldom paid attention to.He retired from IBMin 1986.In 1987, he worked out a system for assessing(evaluating) and improving software quality.It has proved its value time and again.For example, in 1990 thecost of quality at Raytheon Electronics Systems was almost 60% of total software production costs.It fell to 15% in 1996 and has since further dropped to below 10%.Like Deming and Juran, Humphrey seems to be winning more praises overseas than at home.The Indian government and several companies have just founded the Watts Humphrey Software Quality Institute at the Software Technology Park in Chennai, India.Let's hope that U.S.lead in software will not be eaten up by its quality problems.72.What country has more highest-rating companies in the world than any other country has?A.India.B.The US.C.Brazil.D.Germany.73.Which of the following statements about Humphrey is true?A.He is now still an IBM employer.B.He has worked for IBM for 37 years.C.India honors him highly.D.The US pays much attention to his quality advice.74.By what means did Japan grab its large market share by the 1970s and the 1980s?A.Its advertising was most successful.B.Its products were cheaper in price and better in quality.C.The US hardware industry was lagging behindD.Japan hired a lot of Indian software specialists.75. What is the writer worrying about?A.Many US software specialists are working for Japan.B.The quality problem has become a worldwide problem.C.India and Japan are joining hands to compete with the US.D.The US will no longer be the first software player in the world.第三部分任务型阅读(共两节,满分35分)The history of Chinese calligraphy is probably as long as that of China itself. Calligraphy is a special category in China’s world of fine arts. Through the centuries Chinese characters have changed constantly and are mainly divided into five categories today: the seal script (zhuan shu), official script (li shu), regular script (kai shu), running script (xing shu) and cursive script (cao shu).Calligraphy involves a great deal of theory and requires many skills. Among the most outstanding calligraphers in ancient China were Wang Xizhi, Ouyang Xun, Yan Zhengqing, and Liu Gongquan, who are known for pioneering their own styles.In writhing calligraphy, one will need a brush, paper, an ink-stick and an ink-stone, commonly referred to as the “Four Treasures of the Study”. There are different types of brushes. White-goat-hair, black-rabbit-hair and yellow-weasel-hair brushes are the main ones. According to their function, brushes are classified into three groups: hard, soft and medium. Brush sticks are usually made of bamboo, wood, or porcelain; ivory or jade sticks are rare and precious.The ink-stick is a unique pigment used for Chinese traditional painting and calligraphy. The most famous ink-stick is hui mo (Anhui ink stick), made from pines that grow on Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province. Clean water is needed to grind the ink-stick. Press the ink-stick hard and rub it lightly, slowly and evenly against the ink slab to make thick, liquid-ink.While paper comes in many varieties, Xuan paper, produced in Xuanzhou (today’s Anhui Province), is considered the best for Chinese calligraphy. The paper is soft and fine textured, suitable for conveying the artistic expression of both Chinese calligraphy and painting. With a good tensile strength and moth-proof quality, the paper can be preserved for a long time.Ink-stones or ink-slabs have been classified into three categories: Duan, she and Tao. Features common to all three are hardness and fineness. Although the stone is hard and fine, it is not dry or slippery. Using a hard and smooth stone, liquid ink can be produced easily by rubbing the ink-stick against the stone.By handling the brush and ink skillfully and carefully, the artist can produce an infinite variety of calligraphic styles and forms.Title: Chinese Calligraphy第四部分书面表达(满分25分)随着电脑普及率的提高,老师、家长和学生对字迹的重视程度降低了。

Jane has 36 economic resources—her father has been dead for years and her mother works 37 a maid. Although her mother works very hard, she can 38 support the family. Jane is very bright and gifted at 39 and that’s how she has got the scholarship, whic h included a(n) 40 for things like lunch, school uniform and music lessons.Alice became friends with Jane and would 41 talk to her at lunch.

Then her garden gave her the idea for a business: She’d planted 20 bamboo forests on their seven-acre farm.Heinricher started Boo-Shoot Gardens in 1998. She realized early on what is just now beginning to be known to the rest of the world. It can be used to make fishing poles, skateboards, buildings, furniture, floors, and even clothing. An added bonus: Bamboo absorbs four times as much carbon dioxide as a group of hardwood trees and releases 35 percent more oxygen.First she had to find a way to mass-produce the plants—a tough task, since bamboo flowers create seed only once every 50 to 100 years. And dividing a bamboo plant frequently kills it.Heinricher appealed to Randy Burr, a tissue culture expert, to help her. “People kept telling us we’d never figure it out,” says Heinricher. “Other s had worked on it for 27 years! I believed in what we were doing, though, so I just kept going.”She was right to feel a sense of urgency. Bamboo forests are being rapidly used up, and a United Nations report showed that even though bamboo is highly renewable, as many as half of the world’s species are threatened with dying out. Heinricher knew that bamboo could make a significant impact on carbon emissions (排放) and world economies, but only if huge numbers could be produced. And that’s just what she and Burr figured out after nine years of experiments—a way to grow millions of plants. By placing cuttings in test tubes with salts, vitamins, plant hormones, and seaweed gel, they got the plants to grow and then raised them in soil in greenhouses.Not long after it, Burr’s lab hit financial difficulties. Heinricher had no experience running a tissue culture operation, but she wasn’t prepared to quit. So she bought the lab.Today Heinricher heads up a profitable multimillion-dollar company, working on species from all over the world and selling them to wholesalers. “If you want to farm bamboo, it’s hard to do without the young plants, and that’s what we have,” she says proudly.56. What was the main problem with planting bamboo widely?A. They didn’t have enough young bamboo.B. They were short of money and experience.C. They didn’t have a big enough farm to do it.D. They were not understood by other people.57. What does Heinricher think of bamboo?A. Renewable and acceptableB. Productive and flexible.C. Useful and earth-friendly.D. Strong and profitable.58. The underlined word “renewable” in Paragraph 6 probably means “________”.A. able to be replaced naturallyB. able to be raised difficultlyC. able to be shaped easilyD. able to be recycled conveniently59. What do you learn from the passage?A. Heinricher’s love for bamboo led to her experiments in th e lab.B. Heinricher’s determination helped her to succeed in her work.C. Heinricher struggled to prevent bamboo from disappearing.D. Heinricher finally succeeded in realizing her childhood dream.BIf you enjoyed the spring-like sunshine over the weekend and thought the weather has finally turned a corner, you’re sadly mistaken.Chilly (寒冷的) days and grey clouds are forecast for the week—making it far too early to pack away the winter woollies.Temperatures will struggle to rise above zero at night and fail to make double figures during the day.People enjoy the spring sunshine in Sefton Park, Aigburth, Liverpool. Forecasters have predicted a return to chilly weather this week.Met Office forecaster Charlie said, “It was a nice, dry, bright weekend in m any parts and Monday is going to be a similar affair for many.”“Temperatures will be between 5℃and 8℃, which is below average for the start of spring.”The sun will disappear from the south of the country after today, with dry but cloudy conditions forecast for tomorrow and Wednesday.Wednesday will be warmest of the three, with temperatures peaking at 9℃. But this is still two degrees below the March average for the district.Overnight, temperatures will drop sharply, with lows of minus 3℃for the next three nights.“It will generally stay on the cold side of average,” said Mr. Powell.The March misery comes at the end of the coldest winter for more than 30 years. Temperatures in December, January and February struggled to stay above zero, with the UK’s average 1.5℃, making it the deepest freeze since 1978—79.It claimed there was just a one-in-seven chance of a cold December to February.The agency also sadly predicted a “barbecue summer”, saying it was “quite optimistic” that it would be warmer and drier than average.Following the two mistakes, the Met Office has dropped its long-range seasonal forecasts and will instead publish a monthly prediction for Britain, updated once a week.In its defense, it says that while short-term forecasts are extremely accurate, Britain’s size and geographical position makes long-term predictions much more challenging.It also points out that it gave warning of any heavy falls of snow this winter.60. According to the passage, the weather on Tuesday in the south might be _______.A. dry but cloudyB. sunny but chillyC. sunny and warmD. cloudy and chilly61. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. British people can put away their winter clothes now.B. The Met Office has shortened its forecast range.C. The weather forecast becomes more and more accurate.D. The agency was quite confident of long-term predictions.62. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The big chill isn’t over yetB. A warm spring finally arrivesC. A heavy snow is on the wayD. The Met Office drops forecasts63. From the passage, we can conclude ________.A. the weather report is more and more importantB. British people become worried about bad weatherC. Britain has just experienced a very freezing winterD. The Met Office can always predict any heavy snow falls accuratelyCTwo Earthquakes in Two Months:Comparing the Quakes in Haiti (海地) and Chile (智利) Overview (概要) How do the earthquakes in Chile and Haiti compare? Here, students perform a gallery walk to learn more about the earthquakes from a specific point, and then do a specific research and presentation project or response activity. Finally, they seek answers to their unanswered questions.Materials Print copies of photographs, charts, documents and other visuals to display, as described below; computer (s) with Internet access (optional), research materials, handouts.Warm-up Choose and prepare a “gallery” of photographs, graphics, news reports and other materials to display around the room to enable students to consider the 2010 earthquake in Chile.Depending on course program, choose materials for the gallery that provide a window on the two quakes, through one of the following specific points, or the focus of your choice:Earthquakes through History Putting the 2010 Chilean and Haitian quakes into historical view related to other earthquakes, including the 1960 Chilean quake and the 2004 Asian earthquake and tsunami.Rescue and Aid Considering domestic and international response to the disasters by militaries, governments and aid organizations, including rescue and recovery as well as efforts to provide food, water, health care and shelter to those affected.Related The article Underwater Plate Cuts 400 Mile Gash compares several earthquakes:Mr. Lin figured that the quake on Saturday was 250 to 350 times more powerful than the Haitian quake.But Paul Caruso noted that at least on land, the effects of the Chilean tremor (震动) might not be as bad. For one thing, he said, the quality of building construction is generally better in Chile than in Haiti. And the fact that the quake occurred offshore should also help limit the destruction. In Haiti, the rupture (断裂) occurred only a few miles from the capital, Port-au-Prince.

The hyperlinks lead to information about the history, services and context of all the features in the photo. You have just hyperlinked your reality.That might be a little unbelievable, but the technology exists and is no fevered imagination. This is not a cool small machine invented for the next James Bond movie; this is a working technology just developed by European researchers. It could be coming to a phone near you, and soon.This, as the marketing types say, is a game changer. It develops a completely new interface (界面) that combines web-technology with the real world. It is big and fresh, but it goes much further and has much greater influence.The development of the system is most outstanding because image recognition technology has long been pregnant with promise, but seemed to suffer from an unending labour.Now MOBVIS has not only developed image recognition; it has also developed more applications for the technology; and it has adapted it to the world’s most popular technology: the mobile phone.The MOBVIS system completely rewrites the rules for exploration and interaction with your physical environment. The system begins with panoramas (一连串景象). These panoramas form the basis of a city database. It can match buildings, towers, banners and even logos that appear in the panoramas.A user simply takes a picture of the street feature, MOBVIS compares the user’s photograph to the panoramas and then identifies the buildings from the picture you take and the relevant links are returned.Then you simply click on the links, using a touch-screen phone, and the MOBVIS system will provide information on the history, art, architecture or even the menu, if it is a restaurant, of the building in question.67. Which is introduced in the passage?A. A new game software.B. A popular mobile phone.C. A cool small machine.D. An image recognition system.68. What can we learn about the new technology?A. It can only be put into use on mobile phones.B. It is a little unbelievable and just a fevered imagination.C. It has taken an unending labor to bring the technology into our lives.D. It will encourage the users to take more pictures of the street features.69. What is the right order of the operation of MOBVIS?a. A city database forms in the system.b. MOBVIS recognizes the picture and links are returned.c. A user touches the links on the phone screen.d. A user takes a picture of the street feature.e. MOBVIS provides information in question.A. a; e; c; d; b;B. a; d; b; c; eC. d; c; e; a; bD. c; a; e; b; d70. From the passage, we can infer that _______.A. MOBVIS has already been widely used all over the worldB. the writer is trying to promote the sales of the MOBVIS systemC. this new technology will soon be very popular in our livesD. the sales of mobile phones will decrease as MOBVIS comes on market第四部分书面表达(满分25分)下图描绘的是现在人类面临的窘境。

Job authority was judged based on whether a person managed other employees and had power over hiring, firing and pay.Physical health complaints included problems like headaches, body aches, heartburn and tiredness. Psychological complaints included sleep problems, difficulty concentrating and feelings of sadness, worry and anxiety.“This isn’t to suggest that having authority is ‘bad’—in fact, we show it has benefits ... but it is important to identify the negative sides and deal with them.” researcher Scott Schieman said.Schieman said conflicts with co-workers or involvement of work into home life may destroy at physical and mental well-being by creating stress.“These are key stressors that can tax individuals’ ability to function effectively,” Schieman said.56. Work will have a negative effect on job authority’s health probably because __________.A. they are not fit for their workB. they have power over hiring and payC. they are faced with severe competitionD. they don’t get on well with their co-workers57. Most people don’t see that bosses have health effects because __________.A. their health problems are not serious enough to seeB. they have enough money to keep themselves healthyC. their problems are quite different from those of workersD. the advantages and disadvantages of their status work against each other58. From the passage we can infer that the study aims to _________.A. warn people not to be a boss for everB. remind the boss to deal with the bad effects of their workC. show that having authority is harmful to one’s healthD. prove that being a boss can benefit a lot59. The best title for this passage might be ________.A. Lower-status can affect healthB. Authority can affect healthC. Positive aspects of a power positionD. Disadvantages of being a bossBThe following passage is a healthy prescription (处方) of how we can approach life. It is not about being famous or being wealthy or about our good looks. Truly, it is all about love. There are times when we feel as if we are separated from the rest. This feeling creates a mental prison. Therefore, we should try to work hard to internally (内在地) liberate ourselves by widening our circle of pity to accept all living things.“Open your heart to others and try to understand,When someone reaches for you, hold out to them your hand,Follow your heart, no matter what other people say,Do things that make you able to smile throughout your day,Treat other people, the way you would like them to treat you,Do what you know is right and to your heart and self stay true,Remember what life is all about, it is how you make people feel,What you do, where you go, and making dreams become real,Helping people through, in hard times of pain and strife,What you do for others, is what is important in this life.Look deeper and don’t judge people by what is on the outside,It is what is inside that counts and what people often hide,Care, help, love, be honest, and be kind,With purity and goodness within yourself, it is happiness you will find.Do all you can in the time you have, you won’t always be around,Recapture the joy of little things, that once were easily found,And if you can do all this and live a life of love,You will be helped through life, by all those up above.”I will leave you with the inspiring words of our late genius, Albert Einstein:“There a re two ways to live life. One is as though nothing is a miracle (奇迹). The other is as though everything is a miracle.”60. The passage is mainly about ______.A. living a life of loveB. helping those in needC. taking back the joy of lifeD. separating ourselves from others61. According to the passage, which statement is true?A. Treating others the way others treat you is right for your life.B. Making your dream become real is selfish in your life.C. Judging people by what is inside counts.D. Doing what you can makes yourself happy.62. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means _________.A. Different ways of life lead to completely different resultsB. Life is not always full of miraclesC. There are two kinds of miracles in lifeD. Looking for miracles in life helps people find happinessCShaping the Future of TVNobody can predict the future of TV with any certainty but some major figures in the industry have recently put forward their thoughts on what will shape TV of the future.The shaping of a personalized television future is starting to take place, says Intel. The chip giant, who makes the processors found in most personal computers, states that by 2015 there will be just over 12 million devices using IPTV services that will be capable of connecting to over 500 billion hours of TV & video.This supports the idea to make television a more social, personalized and readily accessible device available anywhere through IPTV services. As more and more people consume TV & video through various mediums, there is now a greater need to distribute and manage this content.As such, companies like TV Genius are accepting this announcement made at Intel’s Developer Forum (IDF) in the USA by their chief technology officer, Justin Rattner.With such a variety of content likely to become available, technology firms will need to assist in making personalized TV recommendations more readily accessible.Mr. Rattner, speaking to the BBC said, “TV will remain at the centre of our lives and you will be able to watch what you want and where you want. We are talking about more than one TV-capable device for every man and woman on the planet. People are going to feel connected to the screen in ways t hey haven’t in the past.”One way in which this will happen will also be assisted by a more united service of material combining including video content, internet content, broadcast content, and personal content.This content will become much more accessible through remote devices like mobile phones using IPTV technology. This means that users will be able to watch their favorite programs away from the traditional media hub, the home.63. The author uses the passage mainly to ________.A. recommend a new type of TVB. introduce a possible shape of future TVC. describe the function of future TVD. support the new type of TV64. We know from the passage that the future TV might have major features like _______.a. being capable of connecting to many more hoursb. changing the shape very easilyc. receiving programs at any placed. displaying the advanced materialse. using services accessing the Internet, video, radio, etcA. a, b, cB. c, d, eC. a, c, eD. b, c, e65. The underlined word “this” in the third paragraph refers to __________.A. Intel, the chip giantB. TV and videoC. readily accessible deviceD. Widely used IPTV services66. We can infer from the passage that _________.A. the present TV will disappear in the near futureB. the future TV will have a beautiful lookC. people are developing the technology of TV very quicklyD. people will spend more time watching TV at homeDIt had been a long time since I had been to Jacksonville, Florida. I had driven to town hoping to see the old barber shop where my hair had been cut as a child.I parked my truck and decided to try and locate a telephone to see if the Florida Barber College had moved to a new location.After walking about a block I saw an open shoe store. I walked inside and asked if I could use their telephone book. Unable to find a listing for the Barber College, I picked out the number of a local beauty salon, hoping they might tell me if the barber college was still in business. The number was busy, so I decided to wait and try again in a few minutes.As the salesman and I stood talking the front door opened and a young man about twenty came into the store pushing himself in a wheelchair. “I need a new pair of shoes,” said the customer.As he turned the corner, there was a blanket across his lap. I was shocked to see that the young man had no legs.“A gift for a friend?” I asked the boy.“No,” he replied.They are for me,” he continued, with a smile on his face. I just smiled back and watched to see what would happen next.“What type of shoe would you like?” asked the clerk.“How about a pair of cowboy boots?”The man pointed to the back wall where three or four pairs of boots were displayed. The salesman, sharply turning, headed off to the backroom.“Isn’t this fun?” the boy asked me.I moved my hand to let him know that I did not understand his question. “When I was a kid, my parents used to buy me a new pair of shoes every year. That was such a wonderful feeling. Something I have never forgotten. The smell of the leather and the pride I felt when I walked around the store showing off my new shoes.”The salesman came walking down the aisle with a large box. He sat it down on the floor, took out one boot and handed it to the young man. The boy closed his eyes. He placed the boot against his nose, and drew in a large breath. I did not know what to say as tears began to fall on the young man’s cheeks.“What type of accident did you have?” I asked him.“Farm accident,” he said, as he tried to clear his voice.“Do you want the cowboy boots?” the salesman asked him.“Oh, yes!” he answered.“I see buying a new pair of shoes still gives you that good feeling you talkedabout,” I told the young man, as I smiled.“Yes it does.” he said “A nd I may have someone, and his feet to share it with some day.”67. Why did the young man want to buy a new pair of shoes?A. Because he bought a pair every year.B. Because he wanted to send a new pair to a friend.C. Because he hoped to keep it for memory.D. Because he enjoyed the feeling of possessing a new pair.68. The author writes about the barber shop at the beginning of the article in order to _______.A. introduce the background of the storyB. see if the Barber College had moved to a new locationC. find a listing for the Barber CollegeD. pick out a local beauty salon69. How did the author feel when he saw a young man without legs buying a pair of shoes?A. Unexpected.B. Proud.C. Sympathetic.D. Superior.70. What can you conclude from the passage?A. The young man was a stubborn person.B. The author was a man of understanding.C. The cowboy boots were fashionable then.D. The disabled envied much those healthy.第四部分书面表达(满分25分)某英语报就中学生课外阅读开展征文活动。

It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course," she said."Can we write him a letter?"She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked."No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for."Just wait, honey. You'll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Morn was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped(缠绕) the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining."Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."The balloon, carrying my letter, darted(猛冲) upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he'd persevere, dart up, and finally transcend(超越) this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditary(遗传的). I prayed to be a balloon. 56.

All are involved in an ongoing administration review of the situation in Iraq."These are deliberative(慎重的) meetings and discussions," said Gordon Johndroe, a spokesman for the National Security Council. "They will inform the president's thinking, and he will inform their thinking."Bush said he is also reviewing the Iraq Study Group report released Wednesday. Its suggestions include withdrawing US troops by early 2008, conditions permitting, and a new diplomatic(外交的) effort including Iraq's neighbors, Iran and Syria.The president said he also wanted the troops home too, but not until the new Iraq government can sustain(支撑) itself. He expressed skepticism(怀疑态度) about possible talks with Iran and Syria, saying they must stop efforts to undermine(削弱) Iraq's fledgling(年轻的) democracy.60. The word “revised” in Paragraph One can be replaced by "_______".A. rewritingB. changedC. importantD. directed61. The word "that" in Paragraph Two refers to ________.A. President Bush plans to meet next week with top Pentagon and State Department officialsB. the thing that President Bush hopes to offer a revised Iraq plan within two weeksC. what White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said todayD. the thing that President Bush wants to give a major speech on Iraq before Christmas62.

President Bush is sure to have a talk with Iraq's neighbors, Iran and SyriaCAlthough women lead healthier, longer lives, the cruel opinion that they become "old” sooner than men is widespread in the workplace, research shows.A survey of more than 2,600 managers and personnel professionals showed that age discrimination is not only common in the workplace, but is shot through with inconsistencies (矛盾).Six in ten managers reported being a victim of age discrimination -- usually because they were turned down for a job for being too old or too young. Yet more than a fifth admitted that they used age as an important standard.Although the survey found widespread agreement that older workers were better than younger colleagues when it came to reliability, commitment (承担义务), loyalty (忠诚) and customer service, these qualities were not necessarily considered to be worthy of advancement.A large number of persons believed that workers between 30 and 39 had the best promotion chances, with only 2 per cent giving examples of 50-year-olds or above.There was evidence that people were considered old at different ages in different jobs. A young man working in IT said he was considered too old by the age of 28.In fact there was no evidence to suggest that older workers were less valuable to companies than younger workers, in fact the opposite was often true because older workers often brought experience.The findings also suggested that the Government's ideas on age in the workforce may also be out of step with reality.63.Which is the discrimination mentioned in this passage?A. The healthier women are, the sooner they will lose their jobs.B. Society knows women should be respected, but it doesn't offer them any jobs.C. Female managers respect male workers, but male managers don't respect female workers.D. victims of age discrimination consider age as an important standard.64.Older workers are better than younger colleagues because they have manyadvantages except that they are _____.A. dependableB. marriedC. faithfulD. helpful65.Why does the writer mention a young man working in IT?A. Because the writer thinks it a pity that this young man is old.B. Because it's an example of different age standards in different jobs.C. Because IT industry is developing too fast.D. Because the writer doesn't think the young man is old.66. Which statement is true according to the writer's attitude?A. The present age standard doesn't go with reality.B. The present age standard is reasonable.C. women should work longer than men.D. Young workers should learn from old workers.DFor a while, my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers. They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. "Come on!" My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. "You'll feel great."Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army, I'm not alone in my opinion.First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet will be a real pounding ruining down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn't kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn't my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, "I love being out there with just my thoughts." Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn't just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn't fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?I don't jog any more, and I don't think I ever will. I'm walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I'm getting exercise, and I'm enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I've found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.67. From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer's neighborhood ____.A. jogging became very popularB. people jogged only during the daytimeC. Alex organized an army of joggersD. jogging provided a chance to get together68. What was the writer's attitude towards jogging in the beginning?A. He felt it was worth a try.B. He was very fond of it.C. He was strongly against it.D. He thought it must be painful.69. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?A. He disliked doing exercise outside.B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.D. He was worried about being left alone.70. From the writer's experience, we can conclude that ____.A. not everyone enjoys joggingB. he is the only person who hates joggingC. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fitD. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport第四部分书面表达(满分25分)当前我国政府和人民正努力把我国建设成一个社会关系和谐的国家。

Each student arrives at school with his own needs and difficulties. One year a student called Billy 36 me with his behavior as well as his academic requirements. He struggled daily with his 37 emotions and often became angry or violent. I knew that, to make 38 progress, his emotions needed controlling.One 39 I tried to help Billy was to have him come directly into the classroom when he arrived at school. Billy’s mom would 40 me to alert (警告) me to a particularly emotional morning at home. Then, I would focus on 41 his anger and calming him down before the other students arrived.One week our class was studying 42 . I thought one way to bring learning into the classroom was to bring my dog Rocky to school for the day.That day began as normal. I was preparing activities focused on dog themes 43 I was told that Billy had a 44 morning at home and I might need to get him 45 . As I was talking to his mom, Billy 46 into the classroom. To Billy’s 47 , Rocky immediately ran up to his new 48 , wagging his tail and licking Billy’s face with doggy affection. Billy couldn’t 49 Rocky’s charm (魅力) and began laughing as his anger melted away.Throughout the day, Billy never left Rocky’s side, feeding him, being gentle with him and even 50 the other students while Rocky was sleeping.Billy was known for doing anything he could to avoid 51 , but on this day he found a good dog story, “Clifford’s Puppy Days,” and read it to Rocky. How 52 I was at the sight of Billy reading happily!My little dog was able to 53 Billy’s day from one of anger and frustration to one of laughter, gentleness and 54 .That day Rocky more than helped me with my 55 ; he helped to change the life ofa child!

Despite her obvious pride, Ms. Fathi, a 22-year-old from Egypt, was amazed to find herself here. “I never in my life thought I’d work abroad,” said Ms. Fathi, who was a university student in Cairo when she began noticing newspaper advertisements employing young Egyptians to work at airlines based in the Persian Gulf.A decade ago, unmarried Arab women like Ms. Fathi, working outside their home countries, were rare. But just as young men from poor Arab nations poured into the oil-rich Persian Gulf states for jobs, more young women are doing so.Flight attendants have become the public face of the new mobility for some young Arab women, just as they were the face of new freedoms for women in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. They have become a subject of social anxiety and fascination in much the same way.For many families, allowing a daughter to work may call her virtue into question. Yet this culture is changing, said Musa Shteiwi, a sociologist at Jordan University in Amman. “We’re noticing more and more single women going to the gulf these days,” he said. “It’s still not exactly common, but over the last four or five years it’s become quite an observable phenomenon.”Many of the young Arab women working in the Persian Gulf take delight in their status as pioneers, role models for their friends and younger female relatives. Young women brought up in a culture that highly values community, have learned to see themselves as individuals. The experience of living independently and working hard for high salaries has forever changed their beliefs about themselves, though it can also lead to a painful sense of separation from their home countries and their families. —From New York Times (December 22, 2008)56. It can be inferred from the passage that young Arab women _________.A. go to work abroad after Ameri can women’s exampleB. didn’t start to work abroad until the late 20th centuryC. are commonly used to living and working separatelyD. expect to take the same family responsibilities as men57. According to the passage, the Arab women flight attendants can be described as_________.A. proud, homesick or independentB. honest, outstanding or optimisticC. mature, enthusiastic or energeticD. painful, desperate or conservative58. How do the public respond to young Arab women’s new mobility?A. The public think highly of it.B. The public care very little about it.C. The public show both interest and anxiety.D. The public are strongly against it.59. The author intends to tell the readers that __________.A. Arab women can hardly find any workB. flight attendants are badly needed in the gulfC. flight attendants lead quite a different lifeD. young Arab women’s values are changingBWhat Is Natural MedicineNatural Medicine is to use the natural environment, the nature of the material itselfto cure diseases and restore the health.

It is claimed that humor not only affects patients’ moods, but can actually help them recover faster.Several studies seem to support this. Patients in better spirits are known to have higher immune cell counts. Some have even claimed to have healed themselves of serious illnesses by reading comics and watching comedies.Despite all this, many researchers are not convinced. They point out the fact that many sufferings have been known to disappear naturally, with or without a daily dose of laughter. They also say that while optimism in general does seem to be related to better health, it is hard to tell which comes first.Humor in times of stress, however, clearly makes us feel better. On one level, it takes our minds off our troubles and relaxes us. On another, it releases powerful endorphins, a chemical produced by your body that reduces pain.There are cases where the appreciation of a good joke is indeed directly related to a person’s health. It can show, for example, whether a person has suffered damage to one particular area of the brain: the right frontal lobe (额叶).Scientists confirmed this by having people read jokes and asking them to choose the funniest endings from a list. Subjects with normal brains usually chose endings that were based on a relatively complex synthesis (综合) of ideas. Subjects with specifically located brain damage, however, responded only to slapstick (闹剧) endings, which did not depend on a particular context. When pressed, the brain-damaged subjects saw the logic in the correct endings. They simply did not find them funny. Of course, humor is largely an individual matter. Next time your friend does not get one of your jokes, there is no need to accuse him of being a lamebrain. However, you might suggest that he lighten up—for the health of it.63. We can infer from the passage that ________.A. all researchers have agreed on the healing power of humorB. people seldom accuse their friends of not understanding jokesC. the author holds a positive attitude to the healing power of humorD. reading comics will surely become a popular way of treating diseases64. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Many researchers are not convinced of the healing power of humor.B. Patients in bad moods are known to have higher immune cell counts.C. Optimism in general does seem to be related to better health.D. People should try their best to cheer up for their good health.65. Scientists had some people read jokes and asked them to choose the funniest endings from a list to confirm that ________.A. the brain-damaged people are different from those with normal brainsB. a person with a normal brain usually responds to slapstick endingsC. a person suffering certain brain damage doesn’t appreciate a good jokeD. humor takes our minds off our troubles by releasing powerful endorphins66. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Which comes first, humor or health?B. Humor can cure different illnessesC. People need humor in times of stressD. Humor contributes to good healthDThe thing is, my luck’s always been ruined. Just look at my name: Jean. Not Jean Marie, or Jeanine, or Jeanette, or even Jeanne. Just Jean. Did you know in France, they name boys Jean? It’s French for John. And okay, I don’t live in France. But still, I’m basically a girl named John. If I lived in France, an yway.This is the kind of luck I’ve had since before Mom even filled out my birth certificate. So it wasn’t any big surprise to me when the cab driver didn’t help me with my suitcase. I’d already had to tolerate arriving at the airport to find no one ther e to greet me, and then got no answer to my many phone calls, asking where my aunt and uncle were. Did they not want me after all? Had they changed their minds? Had they heard about my bad luck—all the way from Iowa—and decided they didn’t want any of it to rub off on them?So when the cab driver, instead of getting out and helping me with my bags, just pushed a little button so that the trunk (汽车后备箱) popped open a few inches, it wasn’t the worst thing that had ever happened to me. It wasn’t even the worst thing that had happened to me that day.According to my mom, most brownstones in New York City were originally single-family homes when they were built way back in the 1800s. But now they’ve been divided up into apartments, so that there’s one—or sometimes even two or more families—per floor.Not Mom’s sister Evelyn’s brownstone, though. Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Ted Gardiner own all four floors o f their brownstone. That’s practically one floor per person, since Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Ted only have three kids, my cousins Tory, Teddy, and Alice.Back home, we just have two floors, but there are seven people living on them. Andonly one bathroom. Not that I’m complaining. Still, ever since my sister Courtney discovered blow-outs, it’s been pretty frightful at home.But as tall as my aunt and uncle’s house was, it was really narrow—just three windows across. Still, it was a very pretty townhouse, painted gray. The door was a bright, cheerful yellow. There were yellow flower boxes along the base of each window, flower boxes from which bright red—and obviously newly planted, since it was only the middle of April, and not quite warm enough for them.It was nice to know that, even in a sophisticated (世故的) city like New York, people still realized how homey and welcoming a box of flowers could be. The sight of those flowers cheered me up a little.Like maybe Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Ted just forgot I was arri ving today, and hadn’t deliberately failed to meet me at the airport because they’d changed their minds about letting me come to stay.Like everything was going to be all right, after all.Yeah. With my luck, probably not.I started up the steps to the front door of 326 East Sixty-Ninth Street, then realized I couldn’t make it with both bags and my violin. Leaving one bag on the sidewalk, I dragged the other up the steps with me. Maybe I took the steps a little too fast, since I nearly tripped and fell flat on my face on the sidewalk. I managed to catch myself at the last moment by grabbing some of the fence the gardeners had put up…67. Why did the author go to New York?A. She intended to go sightseeing there.B. She meant to stay with her aunt’s famil y.C. She was homeless and adopted by her aunt.D. She wanted to try her luck and find a job there.68.
