I saw many of our unfortunate and homeless fellow citizens on the street.Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. Immediately, I pulled out all of my loose change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.”In an instant, I realized what I had done. I acted with prejudice (偏见) —I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be.I hated what I saw in myself. This incident re-awakened my belief in humility (谦卑) I’d lost for a moment.The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in US at 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister, and a strong, no-nonsense mother. Through the years, I have been a doorkeeper, roofer, cashier, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other humble (卑微的) jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer.In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice. I remember a time, at age 17 — I was a busboy, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. So I know what it’s like, and I should have known better.But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am, where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the streets cured me of my self-induced (自我引发的) blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open.36. How did the writer give the blind woman money?A. In a respectful way.B. In a polite way.C. In an impatient way.D. In a painful way.37. How many jobs are clearly mentioned in the passage?A. 4.B. 5.C. 6.D. 7.38. At the end of the story, the writer might ________.A. help the lady to the post officeB. say sorry to the woman and gave her more moneyC. ignore the womanD. send the woman homeBservic es are not just being pushed on them for your own benefit. This means listening carefully to what they want, and what their concerns are. If you do this genuinely and sincerely, you will earn trust of your prospective customers.Persuading your customers to buy something from you is a part of communication that is obviously a little difficult. When you are trying to persuade someone, you should be clear about human emotions and know what drivers people to buy. Find out what emotions you can tap, and then discuss the incentives and rewards for joining you. You can also talk about the facts, statistics or explain who else has jumped in. use positive words, positive actions and have a sense of humor.If you practice these things, you will become an effective and confident communicator in no time and will start to see the business rolling in!39 .According to the author, communication skills __________.A. are familiar to everybodyB. need to be practicedC. mean listening and chattingD. can be gained from books40 .The underlined words “prospective customers” probably refer to ________.A. possible customersB. people who need helpC. the products to be soldD. people talking to you41. We may learn from the text that an effective way to persuade your customersis to _________.A. give them a discountB. try to consider their feelingsC. show them you are a good speakerD. beg them to help you42. The passage mainly tells us _______A. how to sell something to peopleB. how to help people in needC. how to communicate with othersD. how to make new people trust youCRead a whole book in English?Me?Yes,you. Believe it or not,that may be easier than you think.Not all classics are too difficult or complicated. So you’re not limited to the simplified versions. And the easier books are not all for children.Books in their original versions may send you to the dictionary. And you might not understand everything you read. But reading one from cover to cover will give you a real sense of accomplishment.The key is to find the right books.Let’s take a look at these.The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe(C.S.Lewis)Stepping into an old wardrobe,four English schoolchildren find themselves in the magical world of Narnia. On this delightful land,they find friends among the many talking creatures.The children soon discover,however,that Narnia is ruled by the White Witch.Edmund,one of the children,falls under her power.Who can free Narnia?Only Asian,the great and noble lion.He alone knows the Deeper Magic. But the children themselves must help fight the battle against the White Witch and those who serve her.The Old Man and the Sea (Ernest Hemingway)Santiago,an old Cuban fisherman,hasn’t caught any f ish in more than 80 days.Sailing far out from land,the old man hooks an enormous fish. That begins an agonizing three-day battle.First he struggles against the great fish.Then he must fight off the sharks that circle the little boat and threaten to eat his fish. Exhausted and bleeding, the old man arrives back at shore. But his fish, his beautiful fish.Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for this superb story of strength and courage, of victory and regret.A Wrinkle in Time (Madeleine Lingle)Meg’s father,a U.S.government scientist,has been missing for many months.He had been experimenting with time travel when he mysteriously disappeared.Now Meg, her little brother Charles Wallace and her friend Calvin will try to rescue him.But first they must outwit (战胜)the forces of evil they encounter on their journey through time and space.Can they find Meg’s father before it’s too 1ate?This novel is more than just a science fiction adventure.It’s an exploration of the nature of our universe.The Long Winter (Laura Ingalls Wilder)It’s winter,1880—1881,on America’s northern prairies(大草原)M r. and M r s. Ingalls and their four girls stay near the kitchen stove to keep Warm.Heavy snowstorms cut them off even from neighbors. With the trains stopped,no suppliescan reach the town.Food and fuel are running out.Day after day the girls must grind wheat for bread and twist to burn.At times they nearly lose the battle to keep track spirits up.This story provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of early American settlers.43.In the passage,the author intends to .A. recommend a few simplified versions of classicsB. recommend a few original versions of classicsC. tell us how to find proper English books to readD. tell us how to read through an English book44.In The Lion,the Witch and the Wardrobe,the White Witch isprobably .A.an evil woman with magic power B.a powerful lionC.a delightful talkingcreature D.a friendly woman with magic power45.Which book deals with history?A.The Lion,the Witch and the Wardrobe B.The old Man and the SeaC.A Wrinkle inTime D.The Long Winter46.A Wrinkle in Time is different from other books mentioned in the passage in that .A.it is not a sciencefiction B.it tells the battle between justice and evilC.it provides some scientific knowledge D.it tells a true storyDInformation technology has entered almost all aspects of our life. From electricity bill payment to shopping all are related and effected by IT in some way or another. Industries are automating their tasks to cut down manual labour costs. Home appliances, industrial machines, watches, automobiles are using software to improve the quality of products. As a result the demand for IT professionals is high.IT jobs are promising. They offer high salaries with huge opportunities to grow and expand one’s career. If you are an expert in your field and have good knowledge of your skill set, then you can easily get a handsome salary package. All you need to build your career in the IT industry is the right degree and skill; they are the only qualifications you need to make your career in the IT industry. If you are new and looking for primary level IT jobs then the Internet could helpyou in finding your avenue; but for specialist level and higher standard IT jobs, you have to rely on your professional contact as most organizations do not disclose higher level job opening on job portals (门户网站).You can start your IT career as a software engineer, web developer, database manager and an IT hardware professional. To speed your IT career it is important to update your skills from time to time. Learn industry level skill and enhance your capability. Courses offered by SAP and Oracle are very promising though it is not easy to clear these exams and once you become an SAP or Oracle certified professional your value will increase in the industry.Searching IT jobs is not tough as there are various online portals and IT recruitment ( 招聘) companies dealing in IT jobs. Job portals are more useful as there you can see different openings posted by numbers of IT companies. IT is one of the well-paid industries with fast growth rate. Start hunting for your dream IT job on online portals and start shaping your career.47.From the first paragraph, it can be inferred that ________.A. electricity bill payment will be the main way of paymentB. information technology has covered all aspects of our livesC. more and more people will change their jobs to work in ITD.

辽宁省新民市第一高级中学2014届高三上学期期末考试 语文试题 Worr版含答案

第Ⅰ卷阅读题甲必考题一、现代文阅读(9分,每小题3分)阅读下面的文字,完成1~3题艺术是有别于宗教、科学而独立存在的人类传统的智性方式。

这种智性方式首先基于对美的形式和情感的体验与接受,继而形成对性情的陶冶,并积累而成对艺术的修养和智慧;最终形成一个心灵的净化和解蔽。

我们知道艺术是一个多种类的集成,包括美术、音乐、戏剧、舞蹈、影视等领域,每一领域下又有许多分目和类别。

但艺术的呈现总是与某一具体的技艺相联系,构成某一类的“象”的呈现。

这一上手的技艺及其“象”意一方面具有本身悠长的发展专史,专史中又标明着各种延绵不息的谱系及其特性和历史性标杆;另一方面这种技艺史又与各个不同民族区域、不同历史阶段的文化维系着千丝万缕的关联,这种文化的关联表现都被视为人类精神的基本倾向而加以关注。

这种上手的技艺与精神的表达互为联系,呈现出的正是这种“象”的东西。

“象”的关联,这是艺术学科的重要特征。

我想用土耳其著名作家帕慕克的寓言来说明艺术之“象”的还原的奇异现象,进而揭示和强调艺术创造和艺术教育的特性。

帕慕克在《我的名字叫红》中有一段精彩的故事,这个故事以隐喻的方式揭示艺术之“象”存活在一双稚眼与一颗慧心的交互作用的迷离世界之中,进而揭示了艺术的特性,这个特性就是纯真个性与悠深修养的并存。

艺术的智性方式既需要孩童般的纯真、鲜活的生命个性,又需要技艺的训练、功夫的娴熟,需要那终其一生去开发和修炼的技艺之神。

这个艺术之“象”需要鲜活的生命个性和悠深的技艺之神的契合。

这种契合弥为珍贵,恰在于稚眼与盲目不可兼得,那纯真之眼与阅尽沧桑的记忆难以两全。

这正是艺术和艺术教育迷人而又艰难之处。

这就是为什么艺术学科不能用简单的论文文本的方式,来单向地评定其研究质量,甚至创作的价值也不能用票房等即时的反映来判定。

今天,艺术的领域发生了飞速拓展。

在城市化的大趋势中,在商品经济的推促下,时尚娱乐不断引领大众文化的潮头,多元化、多层次的文化生态正催生着多样化的社会思潮。

AA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on examsthan those who use laptops(笔记本电脑).Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts theyhave been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increasedthe tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper.

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解The new social robots, including Jibo, Cozmo, Kuri and Meccano M.A.X., bear some resemblance to assistants like Apple's Siri, but these robots come with something more. They are designed to win us over not with their smarts but with their personality. They are sold as companions that do more than talk to us. Time magazine hailed (称赞) the robots that "could fundamentally reshape how we interact with machines." But is reshaping how we interact with machines a good thing, especially for children?Some researchers in favor of the robots don't see a problem with this. People have relationships with many kinds of things. Some say robots are just another thing with which we can have relationships. To support their argument, roboticists sometimes point to how children deal with toy dolls. Children animate (赋予…生命) dolls and turn them into imaginary friends. Jibo, in a sense, will be one more imaginary friend, and arguably a more intelligent and fun one.Getting attached to dolls and sociable machines is different, though. Today's robots tell children that they have emotions, friendships, even dreams to share. In reality, the whole goal of the robots is emotional trickery. For instance, Cozmo the robot needs to be fed, repaired and played with. Boris Sofman, the chief executive of Anki, the company behind Cozmo, says that the idea is to create "a deeper and deeper emotional connection ... And if you neglect him, you feel the pain of that." What is the point of this, exactly? What does it mean to feel the pain of neglecting something that feels no pain at being neglected, or to feel anger at being neglected by something that doesn't even know it is neglecting you?This should not be our only concern. It is troubling that these robots try to empathize with children. Empathy allows us to put ourselves in the place of others, to know what they are feeling. Robots, however, have no emotions to share, and they cannot put themselves in our place. No matter what robotic creatures "say" or squeak, they don't understand our emotional lives. They present themselves as empathy machines, but they are missing the essential equipment. They have not been born, they don't know pain, or death, or fear. Robot thinking may be thinking, but robot feeling is never feeling, and robot love is never love.What is also troubling is that children take robots' behavior to indicate feelings. When the robots interact with them, children take this as evidence that the robots like them, and when robots don't work when needed, children also take it personally. Their relationships with the robots affect their self-esteem (自尊). In one study, an 8-year-old boy concluded that the robot stopped talking to him because the robot liked his brothers better.For so long, we dreamed of artificial intelligence offering us not only simple help but conversation and care. Now that our dream is becoming real, it is time to deal with the emotional downside of living with robots that "feel."(1)How are the new social robots different from Siri?A. They are intended to teach children how to talk.B. They are designed to attract people with their smarts.C. Their main function is to evaluate children's personality.D. They have a new way to communicate with human beings.(2)In Paragraph 3 Cozmo is used as an example to show that the social robots ______.A. are deeply connected with human beingsB. are unable to build a real relationship with childrenC. are so advanced that they can feel the pain of human beingsD. are not good enough to carry out the instructions of children(3)The underlined phrase "essential equipment" in Paragraph 4 refers to ______.A. emotionB. painC. fearD. thinking(4)Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionA. B.C. D.【答案】(1)D(2)B(3)A(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,新的社交机器人与以往机器人不同,他们不仅比我们聪明还有他们的个性。

Chances are that the close sitter doesn’t realize hedisturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren’t the first person he’s met who needs enough room .Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show. Situation IIQ: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time thing or an emergency? If so, you don’t have to buy anything, but it would be kind you did.

Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it.”Nitrogen(氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi(真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons(神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about “mother trees,” usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“We didn’t take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.29.The underlined sentence “the opposite is true”in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees__________ .A. compete for survivalB. protect their own wealthC. depend on each otherD. provide support for dying trees.30. “ Mother trees” are extremely important because they_______.A. look the largest in size in the forestB. pass on nutrition to young treesC. seem more likely to be cut down by humansD. know more about the complex “tree societies”31. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to_______.A. how “tree societies” workB. how trees grow oldC. how forestry industry developsD. how young trees survive32. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC. Trees Are More Awesome Than You ThinkD. Trees Contribute To Our Society.3DTravis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees (雇员) and profits (利润) of over &2 million per year. He's never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her. Travis took her away. “Your working uniform is your shelter, ”he told her. “Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be.”Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions (情绪). Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit: willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. “Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren’t working hard---–but that’s because they’ve made it automatic,” Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said, “Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it.”The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers' lives. Those courses are, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than &10 billion a year.33. We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must ________.A. learn to give lecturesB. attend education programsC. design a working uniformD. develop a common hobby34. Willpower will become a habit when employees can _________.A. focus on the profitsB. benefit from the jobC. protect themselves wellD. control their feelings well35. What can we infer from the passage?A. G&G has grown into a large companyB. G&G will spend half its profits training employeesC. G&G may become more successful in the future.D. G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

[2014·辽宁卷]AA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑).Students are increasingly using laptops for note­taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessl y” by taking down word for word what the professors said.In the first experiment,students were given either a laptop or pen and paper.They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills.Thirty minutes after the talk,they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand.However,the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts.Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers' report said,“While more notes are beneficial,if the notes are taken mindlessly,as is more likely the case on a laptop,the benefit disappears.”In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory,students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture.This time,the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding,but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.21.More and more students favour laptops for note­taking because they can ________.A.write more notes B.digest concepts betterC.get higher scores D.understand lectures better22.While taking notes,laptop users tend to be ________.A.skilful B.mindlessC.thoughtful D.tireless23.The author of the passage aims to ________.A.examine the importance of long­term memoryB.stress the benefit of taking notes by handC.explain the process of taking notesD.promote the use of laptops24.The passage is likely to appear in ________.A.a newspaper advertisementB.a computer textbookC.a science magazineD.a finance report【要点综述】本文是一篇议论文,主要讨论用笔记本电脑记笔记和手写记笔记的优劣。

One photograph from that shoot,now known as Migrant Mother,waswidely___19___ to magazines and newspapers and became a symbol of the plight of migrant farm workers during the Great Depression.As Lange described Thompson's situation,"She and her children had been living on frozen vegetables from the field.Yet they could not move on,for she had just sold the tires from the car to buy food." However,Thompson later___20___ Lange's account.When a reporter interviewed her in the 1970s,she insisted that she and Lange did not speak to each other,nor did she sell the tires of her car.Thompson said that Lange had either confused her for another farmer or embellished(渲染)what she had understood of her situation in order to make a better story.参考答案:11.

Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable(可持续的)ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil, which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions(排放)and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses thatare taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.44.The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPTthat _________.A. it makes growth hard to continueB. it makes the world warmerC. it brings severe damage to forestsD. it consumes natural resources45.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development.B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market.C. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.D. China lacks wind and solar energy.46.To fully develop the low-carbon markets, governments can ________.A. cut public expensesB. develop public resourcesC. encourage energy conservationD. forbid carbon emission47.What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To compare two business models.B. To advocate sustainabledevelopment.C. To predict a change of the global market.D. Tointroduce a new business model.DLife is difficult.This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend (超越) it. Once we truly know that lifeis difficult — once we truly understand and accept it — then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties representa special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems isa painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness, or lonelinessor regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful asany kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, lifeis always difficult and is full of pain as well .Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems,just as in school we set problems for our children to solve.

一、高中英语阅读理解1.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read."The history of the world is but the biography (传记) of great men," argued Thomas Carlyle, the advocate of what has come to be known as the "Great Man Theory of History." This theory suggests that the broader movements and outline of history all go back to the leadership of great individuals who had unique influence on their times. Whether or not Carlyle's theory proves true is debatable, but that certain individuals cast long shadows is not.As one who is entrusted with a leadership position, I find it profitable to read of others who have led. Wherever you find me, you'll likely find a good biography nearby. Why is this the case? First, I find good biographies fascinating. I'll occasionally read a novel, but I've never been overly drawn to fiction. I have found myself unable to sleep while in the struggle of the Battle of Britain in William Manchester's The Last Lion. For me, not to read biographies would rob me of pleasure in my life.Second, I find good biographies informative. A good biographer tells not only the story of a person, but also of their times. Reading a good biography is like wandering through an intellectual shopping mall. The first store is what drew you there, but you will be pleasantly surprised along the way at what other items grab your attention. You'll find no better account of the British Empire at its peak than the opening chapters of Manchester's Visions of Glory, volume one of his The Last Lion. Strictly speaking, a biography is but a slice of history.Third, I find good biographies relaxing. Winston Churchill once noted a man who works with his hands should have a hobby that engages his mind, and a man who works with his mind should have a hobby that engages his hands. Another way to apply Churchill's saying is to combine technical, pen-in-hand vocational reading with leisurely biographical reading. Indeed, few things are more relaxing to me than winding down the evening and entering into another world.This is why I love reading good biographies, and why I pity the person who neglects them. Don't be counted among their number.(1)What is implied in the first paragraph?A. The author finds Carlyle's theory undebatable.B. Carlyle believes great men alone cannot create history.C. It is debatable whether one should read great men's biographies.D. The author agrees that history is greatly influenced by certain men.(2)What does the underlined phrase "other items" in the third paragraph refer to?A. good biographiesB. stories of certain timesC. the volumes of The Last LionD. the chapters of the British Empire(3)Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The author considers biographical reading enjoyable.B. The author can travel to another world in the evening.C. The author has fought many battles during his lifetime.D. The author profits commercially by reading biographies.(4)What is the author's main purpose in writing the article?A. To analyze the benefits of vocational reading.B. To introduce to readers his unique reading strategies.C. To present great men's history through biography reading.D. To recommend biography reading through his own experiences.【答案】(1)D(2)B(3)A(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,作者阐述了喜欢读好的传记的原因。

But for the British-born actor, the bright lights and attraction ofHollywoodwere a long way away. Supported by his secretary mother and stockbroker father, he decided to study drama during high school. His journey to super star began.Before gaining the international recognition he has now, Cavill tried out for roles in the Harry Potter and Twilight series but failed to get either. He would have to keep waiting for his big chance.Determined as ever, Cavill took any acting jobs he could get his hands on and appeared in several low-budget horror movies and TV shows in hopes of getting noticed. It almost worked. In the early 2000s, at just 22 years old, he narrowly missed out on becoming the new James Bond. Finally, in 2007, his hard work paid off. He won a leading role as the first Duke of Suffolk in the period showThe Tudors. The TV show was very popular and helped to raise Cavill's popularity inAmerica.In 2011, Cavil landed his breakout role, playing Superman in the DC Extended Universe. He hasn't looked back and has since starred in many hit films, such asMission: Impossible- Fallout.More recently, he stepped back on to the small screen. Since 2019, he has starred in the popular seriesThe Witcher, adapted from the book series and video games of the same name. In the TV show, Cavill played a brave monster hunter named Geralt of Rivia, which was the perfect role for Cavill because he was a fan of the video games. Cavill also got a chance to play a classic English character — master detective Sherlock Holmes — in 2020'sEnola Holmes.However, Cavill isn't just a good guy on screen. His charity work also makes him a real-life hero. In 2014, he took part in the Ice Bucket Challenge while wearing his full Superman suit to support the ALS Association. Currently, he is an ambassador for the UK's Royal Marines Charity, which supports war veterans (退伍军人). Why does he do it? He love to make people feel good and bring smiles to people' faces. Indeed, Henry Cavill in living proof that you don't always need to wear a cape (斗篷) to act like a hero.4. Why did Cavil act in low-budget film and TV works early in his career?A. He was too polite to refuse.B. He was hoping to get noticed.C. He was encouraged to do so by his parents.D. He was friends with the directors of the projects.5. The role of the monster hunter was the perfect for Cavill because ________ .A. he had experienced hunting monstersB. he had played the same role in a movieC. he knew the writer of the books personallyD. he enjoyed the video games that the show was rooted in6. Which of the following words can best describe Cavill?A. Modest and friendly.B. Determined and kind.C. Talented and faithful.D. Honest and considerate.7. What made Cavill a real-life hero?A. Being a successful actor.B. Playing Superman on screen.C. Devoting to charities.D. Wearing a cape to take part in activities.CScientists often compare coral reefs(珊瑚礁) to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest, corals are animals. The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color1 from algae(藻类) living inside them. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, theyhaltthe interdependent relationship with algae, typically pushing them out and turning white. Corals are still alive when they are white, but they're at risk and many eventually die, turning dark brown.Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals. One common option is to create more protected areas — essentially national parks in the ocean. Beyond nature preserves, some conservationists are looking to more hands-on methods. One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining. The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution, which is especially tough, because corals there help support fisheries worth $ 100 million every year.To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center's director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs.In The Bahamas, Ross Cunning, a research biologist at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, focuses on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects. He published a study of two Bahamianreefs, one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave, and one that didn't. "We think their ability to deal with these higher temperatures is built into their genes," says Cunning. There's evidence of corals evolving more quickly to resist rapidly warming climate. The big question scientists need investigate, adds Gunning, is how much more heat corals can adapt to.8. What does the underlined word "halt" in the first paragraph mean?A. End.B. Develop.C. Strengthen.D. Weaken.9. What do Muller and her team do to save corals?A. Restore the damaged reefs.B. Grow corals by hand underwater.C. Create more protected areas.D. Move corals to unpolluted areas.10. What do Gunning's words suggest?A. Many corals have been genetically improved.B. Cooling down the waters is key to rescuing corals.C. Reasons for corals surviving heat waves are shocking.D. The highest temperature corals can survive is unclear.11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Relationship between corals and algaeB. Efforts made to save coralsC. Impact of climate warming on coralsD. Survival crisis faced by coral reefsDThis is Scientific America's 60-Second Science. I am Christopher Intagliata.The Apollo missions brought back 842 pounds of rock and soil from the moon, that's nearly 2200 different samples. But the most interesting one, according to a scientist Meenakshi Wadhwa, is a sample named "Apollo 1-0-0-8-5collected by Neil Armstrong on Apollo 11.“He was about to step back into the lunar module(登月舱) when he turned around and saw there were little spaces in the rock box. He knew that geologists on earth would be just so excited to study these materials, so he just scooped up nine scoops(勺) of soil and put it into the box." Wadhwa explained.It was one of the most well studied samples of the Apollo missions. And a geologist named John Wood noticed white flecks(微粒) of rock in the soil, which inspired him to dig deeper into the moon's ancient past.“This was quite a leap of imagination — he proposed that the whole of the moon had been almost covered with a magma(岩浆) ocean nearly 4.5 billion years ago. This was a revolutionary idea at the time, because people had thought the moon had formed cold, so it completely changed our idea how the moon formed.”But Wadhwa has a more personal reason to appreciate this sample. She met her husband Scott Parazynski also because of this rock sample. Scott, a mountaineer at that time, wanted to climbMount Everestwith a moon rock while Wadhwa was the chairman of the NASA committee that gives access to the samples for scientific purposes.Neil Armstrong's last-minute scoop of moon dust brought two people together here on Earth and upturned our understanding of how the moon — and the Earth itself-got here.Thank you for listening for Scientific American's 60-Second Science.12. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that ________ .A. Neil Armstrong was excited to find the soilB. the spaceship was about to land on the moonC. Sample "Apollo1-008-5" was collected at the last minuteD. scientists were not satisfied with the samples brought back by Neil13. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Scott made a new proposal about the moon's origin.B. The Apollo missions brought back 842 rock samples.C. "Apollo 1-0-0-8-5" brought new evidence to the moon's formation.D. Wadhwa and her husband climbedMount Everestwith a moon rock.14. What is this text?A. A short interview.B. An introduction to a scientist.C. An inspiring speech.D. A broadcast story of a program.15. What is the text mainly about?A. A romantic story of a moon rock.B. A big leap made by Neil Armstrong.C. An unusual task for Apollo missions.D. An unexpected discovery in moon exploration.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020-2021学年新民市第一高级中学高三英语上学期期末试题及答案解析第一部分阅读(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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIn his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer. But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare'sEngland, Tang's works became hugely popular inChinatoo. During Tang'sChina, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southernChinato the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.1. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To describe Shakespeare's anniversary.B. To introduce the existence of Tang Xianzu.C. To explain the importance of Shakespeare.D. To suggest the less popularity of Tang Xianzu.2. What's possibly one of the main theme of Tang's works?A. Social reality.B. Female dreams.C. Human emotions.D. Political environment.3. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?A. The influence of Kunqu Opera on Tang's works.B. Tang's success in copying Shakespeare's styles.C. The way Kunqu Opera became a symbol of Chinese culture.D. Tang's popularity for his poetic language and music.BAbout a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.4. Why did Lori make the call?A. She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.B. She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.C. She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.D. She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.5. What impressed “I” by Lori?A. Lori was good at running recruiting.B. Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs.C. Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.D. Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.6. What can we infer from the passage?A. Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.B. None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.C. Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.D. A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.7. What is the best title of the passage?A. It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder.B. Facebook’s Biggest Problem.C. Applying for a Job in Facebook.D. A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.CWhy doesHaitiso tend to have fatal earthquakes? Earthquakes have been causing huge damage inHaitisince at least the 18th century. The capital city has been destroyed twice in 19 years. The 21st century has beenno more kind.The Earth’s outer shell is made tip of tectonic plates (构造板块) that move.Haitisits near the crossing of two tectonic plaits that make up the Earth’s outer shell. Earthquakes can occur when those plates move against each other and create friction (摩擦力).Haitiis also overpopulated. Plus, many of its buildings are designed to resist hurricanes but not earthquakes. Those buildings can survive strong winds bat are easy to fail down when the ground shrikes. Poor building practices can also play arole.“I think it’s important to recognize that there’s no such thing as a natural disaster,” said Wendy Bohon, a geologist. “What you have is a natural disaster that comes with a weak architecture system. We do know thatearthquakes like this can cause huge damage because ofthefault,” said Wendy. “And it’s quite a significant risk in places that don’t have the construction practices to resist the shaking.”Construction of more earthquake-resistant buildings remains a challenge inHaiti, which is the poorest nation in theWestern Hemisphere. “While there have been some success stories of Haitians building more earthquake-resistant structures, the country has lacked a centralized effort to do so,” said Mark Schuller, a professor of anthropology and nonprofit and NGO studies atNorthernIllinoisUniversity.Haiti’s government has become increasingly weak, while non-governmental organizations only focus on their own projects.“There is technical knowledge inHaiti, There are trained architects. There are cityplanners. That’s not the problem,” Schuller said. “The problem is a lack of funding for coordination (协调), and lack of political will from donors to organizations providing aid.”8. Which factor causing the huge damage is highlighted?A. Its overpopulation.B. Its weak government.C. Its geographical location.D. Its weak architecture system.9. What does the underlined part “the fault” in paragraph 4 refer to?A Lacking political will to provide aid.B. Lacking hurricane-resistant; buildings.C. Lacking earthquake-resistant buildings.D. Sitting on the crossing of two tectonic plates.10. What’s Schuller’s attitude towardsHaiti’s government?A Supportive. B. Critical.C. Indifferent.D. Interested.11. Which of the following can be a problem according tothe last paragraph?A. Fund and will.B. Skilled architects.C. Urban designers.D. Technology and money.DI waschecking out at the supermarket counter on Wednesday night, ready to pay for my bananas, when all ofa sudden, fear came upon me. My wallet was gone. And I could only have left it one place: the G9 bus, from which I had gotten off minutes earlier and which was now speeding to some stops. The moment of realizing it was gone was followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to replace the credit cards, the driver's license, the expensive lipstick ($ 55!).Two hours after I was back at my house, I heard a knock on the door. My husband answered while I sat in the dining room on the phone with a credit card company. "Does Jennifer live here?" I heard someone say. In her hand was my wallet, without a penny missing. She left before I could offer my gratitude to her.After I posted the story, I heard from her boyfriend, who identified the good citizen as Erin Ball, a 26-year-old girl working for a trade organization.Once I figured out her, I called to thank her. She said she spotted my wallet and thought that it's more dangerous to go to a stranger's house than leaving the wallet with the driver, but she still decided to take the chance. "If I were in that situation, I would want someone to try to find me," she said. Ball doesn't find her actions particularly excellent. She added, "It's not hard to do small things for people."After Ball found my wallet, she decided to post a picture of my driver's license online before going to my house, trying to see if anyone knew me. No sooner had she left my doorstep than I got emails from two neighbors who recognized my face, both offering to help me find my missing property.Ball found my house on a bitterly cold night,for which I was extremely grateful. Looking back, I'm not surprised someone had wanted to help a stranger. A warm current of honesty and harmony is running through this town.12. What do we know about the author according to paragraph 1?A. She missed the G9 bus.B. She paid for her bananas.C. She replaced the credit cards.D. She found she had left her wallet on the bus.13. Who helped the author find Ball?A. The G9 driver.B. The girl's boyfriend.C. The author's neighbors.D. The author's husband.14. What did Ball do first after finding the wallet?A. Ball called the author.B. Ball went to the author's house.C. Ball gave the wallet to the bus driver.D. Ball posted a photo of the author's driving license.15. Which of the following best describes Erin Ball?A. Humorous and kind.B. Generous and demanding.C. Honest and warm-hearted.D. Caring and outgoing.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Known as “paper-based electrical gas sensors (PEGS)”, they detect spoilage gases like ammonia (a poisonous gas with a strong unpleasant smell) in meat and fish products. The information provided by the electronic nose is received by a smart phone, and then you can know whether the food is fresh and safe to eat.The Imperial College London researchers who developed PEGS made the sensors by printing carbon electrodes onto a special type of paper. The materials are eco-friendly and harmless, so they don’t damage the environment and are safe to use in food packaging. The sensors, combined with a tiny electronic system, then inform nearby mobile devices, which identify and understand the data about spoilage gases.Lead author Dr Firat Guder of Imperial’s Department of Bioengineering, said, “Although they’re designed to keep us safe, use-by dates can lead to eatable food being thrown away. They don’t always reflect its actual freshness. In fact, people often get sick from food-borne diseases due to poor storage, even when an item is within its use-by date.”“These sensors are cheap enough so we hope to see supermarkets using them within three years. Our goal is to use PEGS in food packaging to reduce unnecessary food waste.”The authors hope that PEGS could have applications beyond food processing, like sensing chemicals in agriculture, air quality, and detecting disease markers in breath like those involved in kidney disease.4. What is the function of PEGS according to the text?A. To improve the taste of foods.B. To improve the service of stores.C. To help supermarkets store foods.D. To help people test food freshness.5. What role does the smartphone play while PEGS are functioning?A. It acts as an electronic nose.B. It reads the data collected by PEGS.C. It helps print the gas sensors onto paper.D. It discovers the spoilage gases from foods.6. What does Dr. Firat Guder say about use-by dates?A. They are not completely reliable.B. They can help reduce food waste.C. They are based on scientific research.D. They are not accepted by the consumers.7. What does the author mainly talk about in the text?A. The process of researching spoilage sensors.B. A new technology in packaging to reduce food waste.C. The application of spoilage sensors beyond food processing.D. The influence of use-by dates on supermarkets and consumers.CYou run into the grocery store to quickly pick up your item. You grab what you need and head to the front of the store. After quickly sizing up the check-out lines, you choose the one that looks fastest. You chose wrong. People getting in other lines long after you have already checked out and headed to the parking lot. Why does this seem to always happen to you?Well, as it turns out, it's just math that is working against you. A grocery store tries to have enough employees at the checkout lines to get all their customers through with minimum delay. But sometimes, like on a Sunday afternoon, they get super busy. Because most grocery stores don't have the physical space to add more checkout lines, their system becomes overburdened. Some small interruption — a price check, a particularly talkative customer — will have downstream effects, holding up the entire line behind them.If there are three lines at the store, these delays will happen randomly at different registers (收银台). Think about the probability. The chances of your line being that fastest one are only one in three, which means you have a two-thirds chance of not being in the fastest line. So it's not just in your mind: Another line is probably moving faster thanyours.Now, mathematicians have come up with a good solution, which they call queuing theory, to this problem: Just make all customers stand in one long snaking line, called a serpentine line, and serve each person at the front with the next available register. With three registers, this method is about three times faster on average than themore traditional approach. This is what they do at most banks, Trader Joe's, and some fast-food places. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow everyone down a little bit.8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A. Queuing in a line.B. A shopping experience.C. A rush in the morning.D. Cutting in a line.9. According to the article, what may cause delays in checking out?A. The lack of employees in the grocery store.B. Some unexpected delays of certain customers.C. The increasing items bought by customers.D. A worsening shopping system of the store.10. What is the solution given by mathematicians?A. Employing more workers for checking out.B. Limiting the number of queuing people.C. Making only one line available.D. Always standing in the same line.11. What's the principle behind the queuing theory?A. To pursue the maximum benefit.B. To leave success or failure to luck.C. To avoid the minimum loss.D. To spread the risk equally among everyone.DI’ve been putting my passport to good use lately. I use it asa coaster and to level unsteady table legs. It makes an excellent cat toy.Welcome to the pandemic (疫情) of disappointments. Canceled trips or ones never planned in case they would be canceled. Family reunions, study-abroad years, lazy beach vacations. Poof. Gone. Ruined by a tiny virus, the list of countries where our passports are not welcome is long.It is not natural for us to be this sedentary (定居的). Travel is in our genes. For most of the time our species has existed, we've lived as nomadic (游牧的) hunter-gatherers. But what if we can't move? What's a traveler to do? There are ways to answer that question. "Despair," though, is not one of them.We are an adaptive species. We can tolerate brief periods of forced sedentariness. We pass the days glancing through old travel journals and Instagram posts. We gaze at souvenirs. All this helps. For a while. Then, what hope do we have?I think hope lies in the very nature of travel. Travel involves wishful thinking. It demands a leap of faith, and of imagination, to board a plane for some faraway, land. Travel is one of the few activities we engage in not knowing the outcome and are drunk in that uncertainty. Nothing is more forgettable than the trip that goes exactly as planned.That's one reason why I have faith in travel's future. In fact, I'd argue travel is an essential activity. It's not essential the way hospitals and grocery stores are essential. Travel is essential the way books and hugs are essential. Food for the soul. Right now, we're between courses, enjoying where we've been, expecting where we'll go. Maybe it'sZanzibarand maybe it's the campground down the road that you've always wanted to visit.12. From the first paragraph we learn that the author is _______ .A. desperateB. humorousC. boredD. worried13. From the author's perspective, what's the point of travel?A. To feel hopeful.B. To make a wish.C. To take adventures.D. To broaden horizons.14. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By showing evidences.B. By providing examples.C. By making comparisons.D. By interpreting opinions.15. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Where to go for a trip.B. Why people need to travel.C. How to fight the pandemic.D. What people should do at home.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

I saw many of our unfortunate and homeless fellow citizens on the street.Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. Immediately, I pulled out all of my loose change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar.But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.”In an instant, I realized what I had done. I acted with prejudice (偏见) —I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be.I hated what I saw in myself. This incident re-awakened my belief in humility (谦卑) I’d lost for a moment.The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in US at 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister, and a strong,no-nonsense mother. Through the years, I have been a doorkeeper, roofer, cashier, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other humble (卑微的) jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer.In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice. I remember a time, at age 17 —I was a busboy, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. So I know what it’s like, and I should have known better.But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am, where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the streets cured me of my self-induced (自我引发的) blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open.36. How did the writer give the blind woman money?A. In a respectful way.B. In a polite way.C. In an impatient way.D. In a painful way.37. How many jobs are clearly mentioned in the passage?A. 4.B. 5.C. 6.D. 7.38. At the end of the story, the writer might ________.A. help the lady to the post officeB. say sorry to the woman and gave her more moneyC. ignore the womanD. send the woman homeBservices are not just being pushed on them for your own benefit. This means listening carefully to what they want, and what their concerns are. If you do this genuinely and sincerely, you will earn trust of your prospective customers.Persuading your customers to buy something from you is a part of communication that is obviously a little difficult. When you are trying to persuade someone, you should be clear about human emotions and know what drivers people to buy. Find out what emotions you can tap, and then discuss the incentives and rewards for joining you. You can also talk about the facts, statistics or explain who else has jumped in. use positive words, positive actions and have a sense of humor.If you practice these things, you will become an effective and confident communicator in no time and will start to see the business rolling in!39 .According to the author, communication skills __________.A. are familiar to everybodyB. need to be practicedC. mean listening and chattingD. can be gained from books40 .The underlined words “prospective customers” probably refer to ________.A. possible customersB. people who need helpC. the products to be soldD. people talking to you41. We may learn from the text that an effective way to persuade your customers is to _________.A. give them a discountB. try to consider their feelingsC. show them you are a good speakerD. beg them to help you42. The passage mainly tells us _______A. how to sell something to peopleB. how to help people in needC. how to communicate with othersD. how to make new people trust youCRead a whole book in English?Me?Yes,you. Believe it or not,that may be easier than you think.Not all classics are too difficult or complicated. So you’re not limited to the simplified versions. And the easier books are not all for children.Books in their original versions may send you to the dictionary. And you might not understand everything you read. But reading one from cover to cover will give you a real sense of accomplishment.The key is to find the right books.Let’s take a look at these.The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe(C.S.Lewis)Stepping into an old wardrobe,four English schoolchildren find themselves in the magical world of Narnia. On this delightful land,they find friends among the many talking creatures.The children soon discover,however,that Narnia is ruled by the White Witch.Edmund,one of the children,falls under her power.Who can free Narnia?Only Asian,the great and noble lion.He alone knows the Deeper Magic. But the children themselves must help fight the battle against the White Witch and those who serve her.The Old Man and the Sea (Ernest Hemingway)Santiago,an old Cuban fisherman,hasn’t caught any fish in more than 80 days.Sailing far out from land,the old man hooks an enormous fish. That begins an agonizing three-day battle.First he struggles against the great fish.Then he must fight off the sharks that circle the little boat and threaten to eat his fish. Exhausted and bleeding, the old man arrives back at shore. But his fish, his beautiful fish.Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for this superb story of strength and courage, of victory and regret.A Wrinkle in Time (Madeleine Lingle)Meg’s father,a U.S.government scientist,has been missing for many months.He had been experimenting with time travel when he mysteriously disappeared.Now Meg, her little brother Charles Wallace and her friend Calvin will try to rescue him.But first they must outwit (战胜)the forces of evil they encounter on their journey through time and space.Can they find Meg’s father before it’s too 1ate?This novel is more than just a science fiction adventure.It’s an exploration of the nature of our universe.The Long Winter (Laura Ingalls Wilder)It’s winter,1880—1881,on America’s northern prairies(大草原)M r. and M r s. Ingalls and their four girls stay near the kitchen stove to keep Warm.Heavy snowstorms cut them off even from neighbors. With the trains stopped,no supplies can reach the town.Food and fuel are running out.Day after day the girls must grind wheat for bread and twist to burn.At times they nearly lose the battle to keep track spirits up.This story provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of early American settlers.43.In the passage,the author intends to .A. recommend a few simplified versions of classicsB. recommend a few original versions of classicsC. tell us how to find proper English books to readD. tell us how to read through an English book44.In The Lion,the Witch and the Wardrobe,the White Witch is probably .A.an evil woman with magic power B.a powerful lionC.a delightful talking creature D.a friendly woman with magic power 45.Which book deals with history?A.The Lion,the Witch and the Wardrobe B.The old Man and the SeaC.A Wrinkle in Time D.The Long Winter46.A Wrinkle in Time is different from other books mentioned in the passage in that .A.it is not a science fiction B.it tells the battle between justice and evilC.it provides some scientific knowledge D.it tells a true storyDInformation technology has entered almost all aspects of our life.
