2021年高二升高三暑假英语限时训练一(新高考)
基础篇012阅读理解+1七选五（含解析）【阅读理解①】I am an active playgoer and play-reader, and perhaps my best reason for editing this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others.To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the short play.Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright (剧作家) hopes to get across through dialogue and action.A few characters are used to create a single impression growing out of the theme.It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection, for that would, indeed, ruin the pleasure of reading, discussing, and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright.However, a variety of types is represented here.These include comedy, satire, poignant drama, historical and regional drama.To show the versatility (多面性) of the short play, I have included a guidance play, a radio play and a television play.Among the writers of the plays in this collection, Paul Green, Susan Glaspell, Maxwell Anderson, Thornton Wilder, William Saroyan, and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater.More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book.To get the most out of reading these plays, try to picture the play on stage, with you, the reader, in the audience.The houselights dim (变暗 ).The curtains are about to open, and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story.21. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?A. He has written dozens of plays.B. He has a deep love for the theater.C. He is a professional stage actor.D. He likes reading short plays to others.22. What does the author avoid doing in his work?A. Stating the plays’ central ideas.B. Selecting works by famous playwrights.C. Including various types of plays.D. Offering information on the playwrights.23. What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays?A. Control their feelings.B. Apply their acting skills.C. Use their imagination.D. Keep their audience in mind.24. What is this text?A. A short story.B. An introduction to a book.C. A play review.D. An advertisement for a theater.【阅读理解②】For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源)of inspiration for designers,”says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚)shows.Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学)on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.“China is impossible to overlook,”says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “ Vera Wang,Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,”adds Hill.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,”she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market.If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”24. What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?A. It promoted the sales of artworks.B. It attracted a large number of visitors.C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes.D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.25. What does Hill say about Chinese women?A. They are setting the fashion.B. They start many fashion campaigns.C. They admire super models.D. They do business all over the world.26. What do the underlined words“taking on” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. learning fromB. looking down onC. working withD. competing against27. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB. A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC. Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends【七选五③】A Few Tips for Self-AcceptanceWe all want it... to accept and love ourselves. But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 36 Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.●37 Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you follow them? Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own; you are the only you in this world.●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made. We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. 38 You will make mistakes, time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate(有同情心) response? “That didn’t go as planned. But, I tried my best.”●Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today. 39●Now that you’ve listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the page in your journal. Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don’t feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself. 40 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are?A. Feeling upset again?B. Where do you start?C . Nothing is too small to celebrate.D. Remember, you are only human.E. Set an intention for self-acceptance.F. Stop comparing yourself with others.G. When does the comparison game start?【参考答案】【阅读理解①】21、【解析】选B。
2021年高三英语暑期作业(一) 含答案
2021年高三英语暑期作业（一）含答案xx.7.15一、阅读理解AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电)noise. For some reason, when certain show s switched into a mercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then changeit back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.1. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.2. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?A. ended all their programsB. provided fewer channelsC. changed to mercialsD. showed all-night movies3. How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting it.B. By turning it on and off.C. By switching channels.D. BY having it repaired.4. How does the author sound when telling the story?A. Curious.B. Anxious.C. Cautious.D. Humorous.BYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage ove reating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they’re poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里)per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. we eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入)jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glassthan a tall, skinny glass.5. The text is especially helpful for those who care about.A. their home fortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets6. A home environment in blue can help people .A. digest food betterB. reduce food intakeC. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetites7. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast music.C. Use smaller spoons.D. Turn down the lights.8. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?B. Ways of Serving DinnerC. Effects of self-ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年)before going to university. It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in N ovember and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off th eir entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and plete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,”he said.But not everyone in happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that increase is evidence of student hardship—young people are being forced intoearning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to ￡15，000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,” he said.9. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length.B. It is a time for relaxation.C. It is increasingly popular.D. It is required by universities.10. According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year.A. are better prepared for college studiesB. know a lot more about their future jobsC. are more likely to leave university in debtD. have a better chance to enter top universities11. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A. He’s puzzled.B. He’s worried.C. He’s surprised.D. He’s annoyed.12. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A. Attend additional courses.B. Make plans for the new term.C. Earn money for their education.D. Prepare for their graduate studies.DChoose Your One-Day Tours!Tour A—Bath＆Stonehenge including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge—￡37 until 26 March and ￡39 thereafter.Visit the city with over 2,000 years of history and Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent and the Costume Museum.

She stopped at a traffic light, where a man, in his 60s,looking out of luck, was sitting alone. She rolled down her window.“Hey!” she shouted.“ I’m driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?”The man, missing a few teeth, paused and laughed. “Actually,” he said, “I have a funeral(葬礼)to go to this week. I was really hoping to get a haircut.”Then, Steller unloaded a red chair from the car. The man,named Edward, took a seat. As Steller was cutting his curly graying hair, he told her about growing up in Mississippi, about moving to Minnesota, and how he still talked to his mom over phone every day.To date, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. They are all living on the margins, and she is aware of the power of her work.“It’s more than a haircut,”she says.“I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect, but also to get to know people.”Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. One changed hers:As a teen, she suffered from ulcerative colitis(溃疡性结肠炎) that was so serious, her hair thinned severely. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut.“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she says.After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own hair salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology school(美容学校) in 2016, she realized her dream.Two years later, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets.Steller said, “I can’t fix their problems, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.” Steller listens to people’s stories of loss, addiction, and struggle to get back on their feet.An offshoot of the Red Chair Project is the Steller Kindness Project, in which people who commit acts of kindness are invited for a free makeover(美容) at Steller’s salon. In exchange, they tell their stories, which Steller shares on her website.

But why do most parents nowadays want their children to participate in Olympiads?Participating in and winning any kind of competition is one of the best feelings in the world. Competitions award merit(优点), performance, excellence—quite literally, the best in a human being. Thus, it might be understandable that: a lot of pride is associated with a child qualifying at any of the Olympiad levels.Who doesn’t want to be the proud parent of a smart, intelligent young child?It has also been claimed that Olympiads can act as a great morale booster(信心增强剂). Bangalore-based programmer of Olympiad Helper,Vikash Anil says,“Even when students don’t win, their confidence grows.”However, there are a number of serious considerations parents are missing out on, which has impacts on children. They are being burdened with the pressure of performing well in these exams—a pressure that is often too high and unhealthy for their young minds and bodies. They are also being introduced to peer pressure and “competition” in a very negative and ugly light.What’s worse, the age at which children are being forced to take these exams keep dropping with each passing year. Children as young as 5 or 6 years old are being sent away to tuitions(辅导)right after school gets over. Many educationists are condemning this, because the International Science Olympiads is for high school students only.The claim that Olympiads actually make children “more confident” cannot be readily accepted. While a lot of good outcomes are possible from Olympiads, it is also true that all students will not react positively to “failing” at Olympiads. More students are going to come out feeling miserable for having failed the exam.Being a parent in today’s dynamic, commercial and material world is not easy. It is indeed a pity if parents are chasing “recognition”, rather than “excellence” and “merit” for their children.There is no such thing as a “good”,or a “poor” child. Parents should realize this, embrace this, and empower themselves and their children with this.As a parting thought I would like to leave this Einstein quote: “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”5. Why do most parents want their children to participate in Olympiads?A. To prove their children’s potential and excellence.B. To prepare their children for a pure science career.C. To strengthen their children’s competitive awareness.D. To make their children benefit from stress and failures.6. What is the author’s attitude to Vikash Anil’s words?A. Doubtful.B. Positive.C. Disapproving.D. Uninterested.7. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Olympiads:Are Children Relying on Tuitions Too MuchB. Olympiads:Are Children Starting at a Too Young AgeC. Olympiads:Are Parents Being Driven by CommercialsD. Olympiads:Are Parents Becoming Over-Ambitious【作文训练】假设你是李华，你的美国朋友Mike就读的学校要举办一年一度的“中华文化节”，他来信向你征求活动意见，请你写封回信，内容包括：1.写作目的；2.活动建议；3.表示祝愿。

The instructor asked us to list 36 in our past that we felt 37 of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.This seemed like a very 38 process, but there’s always some 39 soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then 40 that we find ways to 41 people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever 42 my communication.Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my 43 , I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff 44 of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies and I decided to play a 45 on him.After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s.o.b.(畜生). The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious 46 . Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one 47 found out.”“Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name 48 on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still 49 . Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few 50 , I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused. “Yes.” “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”“And I want you to know that I did it!” Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a 51 discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you 52 your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it 53 all these years. I want to thank you for calling me...for your sake.”Jimmy inspired me to 54 all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It’s never too late to 55 the past wrongdoings.36.

Mike insisted they were not rivals(竞争对手). “No. It's two teenagers going out there, living their dream and having the adventure of a lifetime,” he said.Mike may be young, but he is no stranger to sailing adventures. He picked up the hobby at the age of 6 when his father took him out in a small boat on a local lake. Father and son sailed separate boats across the Atlantic when Mike was 14, making him the youngest person to cross that ocean solo. That record gave him the taste for this even greater challenge.On the recent journey, the scariest moment for Mike came when his sailboat was hit by storms in the southern Indian Ocean.“We were picked up by what felt like a 60-foot wave and threw down on our side at 90 degrees,” he said.“It felt like I was going right over. Stuff was flying around and I just thought ‘Oh no’.”At other times, he had to dive into the Pacific and fix problems. He tied himself to the boat, jumped into the water and went to work with a knife in 30-second dives underneath the boat to cut a rope away.Mike said he felt pro ud that he made his dream come true. “You've got to have confidence in yourself that you will make it,” he said.56. What's the main idea of the passage?A. A British teenager became the youngest person to sail solo around the world.B. How a British teenager developed his sailing hobby.C. A British teenager's brave experience.D. A British teenager's confidence.57. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Mike Perham crossed the Panama Canal.B.

Mike was never frightened during the sailing.58. What does the underlined word “taste” in the fifth paragraph mean?A. Flavor.B. Preference.C. Experience.D. Ability.59. What can we infer from the passage?A. Both Mike and Zac had adventured spirits.B. Mike is older than Zac.C. They both are brave but they have different goals.D. Mike took up the hobby of sailing adventures at 14.60. What did Mike believe in?A. Having confidence in yourself will make you successful.B. Braveness is important in sailing.C. One should pick up a hobby as a child.D. Pride goes before a fall.BA scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible（固守己见的）.Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn’t show up on an IQ test.The hardware of the brain and th e software of the mind have long been scientists’ concerns. But brain theory can’t explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people’s success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”.EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one’s ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients(要素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.61. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that .A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experimentB. emotional intelligence won’t show up until adolescenceC. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal successD. candy can be used to meas ure a person’s emotional intelligence62. Which of the following is TRUE of EQ and IQ according to the text?A. There is no link between EQ and IQ.B. The higher a person’s IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.C. Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.D. Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work together.63. The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means .A. kindB. floatingC. excitedD. optimistic64. Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?A. To amuse both the children and readers.B. To prove the scientist’s wisdom.C. To introduce the topic of the text.D. To show us how to do an IQ test.65. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. Information about famous people with high EQ.B. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.C. Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field.D. Strong demand for basic emotional education.CMovies in the theater get their recognition at awards ceremonies, such as the Oscars. But how about movies for phones? They are getting their turn at MoFilm--the first mobile film festival.The first MoFilm competition received 250 entries from more than 100 countries. Entries were restricted to films that were five minutes or less in length--ideal for viewing and sharing on mobile phones. An independent jury then selected a shortlist of five film-makers. The winner was chosen from the shortlist by an audience voting using their phones.New PlatformsThe awards highlight the increasing impact that mobile phones are making in the entertainment industry. Many grassroots filmmakers start out with short films. They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work. Therefore, mobile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform for these short works.It is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression be seen by a wide audience. Just think about how many people have mobile phones in the world!New Technology AdvancesMoFilm is pioneering content for mobile and online services that is a world away from Hollywood. The majority of films made for mobiles are now short in length, taking into account the screen size. However this could be overcome as technology advances.In the near future, longer films will likely be seen on the mobile phone. And there are mobile companies creating phones where users can watch movies at higher quality.Wherever you see movies, one thing is certain: the quality of work, the simple ability at story telling, and the thing that inspires someone to tell a story can really come from anywhere66. At the first MoFilm, .A. movies in the theater got their recognitionB. more than 100 countries took part in the competitionC. ideal films were five minutes or less in lengthD. the winner was chosen by experts' voting67. They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work. The underlined wordmean s “”A. disappointedB. surprisedC. frightenedD. encouraged68. Nowadays the majority of films made for mobiles are short in length because of .A. online servicesB. the mobile phoneC. technology advancesD. the screen size69. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Putting Movies on MobilesB. Introduction of Latest Mobile PhonesC. Mobile Phones’ CeremoniesD. Film Awards Broadcast on Mobile Phones70. Which statement is NOT true?A. MoFilm is not a part of Hollywood.B. Mobile phones are considered to be a new platform for short films.C. MoFilm get their recognition through Oscars.D. Films made for mobiles will likely be cleaner.DMachines in the home have a short history. Sewing machines, washing machines and tumble dries are common enough today, but a hundred years ago few people could even imagine such things. However, inventors have designed and built a widerange of household machines since then. In most cases the inventor tried to patent（申请专利）his machine, to stop anyone copying it. Then he tried to produce a lot of them. If the machine became popular, the inventor could make a lot of money.In 1790 the first sewing machine was patented. The inventor was an Englishman called Thomas Saint. There was nothing to match his machine for forty years, and then someone built a similar device. He was a Frenchman, Bartelemy Thimonier. Neither of these early machines worked very well, however. It wasn’t until 1846 that an inventor came up with a really efficient sewing machine. He was an American, Elias Howe and his machine was good enough to beat five skilled sewing women. He didn’t make much money from it, however. The first commercially successful sewing machine was patented by Isaac Singer five years later.Today, we take washing machines for granted, but there was none before 1869. The revolving drum（旋转桶）of that first machine set a pattern for the future, but it was crude by today’s standards. The drum was turned by hand, and needed a lot of effort. Eight years passed before someone produced an electric washing machine. The world had to wait even longer for a machine to dry clothes. The first spin-drier was another American invention, patented in 1924; but it was 20 years before such machines were widely used.It was yet another American, called Bissell, who introduced the carpet sweeper. He patented the original machine back in 1876. It didn’t pick up dirt very well, but it was quicker than a dustpan and brush. Thirty-six years later, even the carpet sweeper was old-fashioned: modern homes now have a vacuum cleaner with an electric motor to suck the dust.71. Inventors patent the inventions so as to __________ .A. produce more machinesB. avoid being copied by othersC. make the inventions more popularD. make more money72. Whose sewing machine could do far more than the work that was done by five skilled sewing women?A. Thomas Saint’s.B. Bartelemy Thimonier’s.C. Elias Howe’s.D. Isaac Singer’s.73. According to the article, modern inventors __________.A. followed the pattern of the first revolving drum but improve it muchB. only imitated the first washing machineC. powered the first ever-made washing machine by electricityD. had to wait for the first spin-drier for a long time74. The underlined word “crude” in the sentence “but it was crude by today’s standards.” probably means __________.A. uselessB. ugly-lookingC. roughD. not skillfully made75. The article mainly tells us about __________.A. the great inventors in the worldB. the important inventions in the worldC. the short history of household machinesD. the importance of the machines used in the home第Ⅱ卷（共35分）第四部分写作（共二节, 满分35分）第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of “mastery” —feeling important and worthwhile—and the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure”—finding life enjoyable—are not always the same. In the past women often were told “You can’t have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker reall y is saying is: “You choose a career, so you can’t expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life.” or “You have a wonderful husband and children—what’s all this about wanting a career?” But today women need to_____________, if they are to feel good about themselves.Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two aspects. One is mastery, which includes self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the “feeling” side of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa（反之亦然）. For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed.A woman’s well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of roles—marriages, motherhood, and employment—were the highest in well-being, in spite of warnings about stress and strain.76.

In spite of its location beside the sea, several studies have shown that this region is the driest place in the world. In the Antofagasta Region of the desert, the averageannual rainfall is just 1 mm and some weather stations have never received rain at all. Atacama is so arid that the surrounding mountains that reach up to 6885 m, have absolutely no glaciers! In the region, the river beds have been dry for over 120,000 years.However, unlike the Sahara Desert,Atacama is surprisingly not that hot. It has an average daily temperature between 0'C and 25℃! If you find that surprising, you'd be shocked to find out that this desert has lakes!When there was rainfall in the region (many year ago), this accumulated water created what we now know as the Salt Lakes. The name of these lakes was given as a result of the effect of the Atacama environment: the long dry period makes the water evaporate(蒸发),resulting in the higher concentrations of salt in the remaining water.This region has been tested by scientists to see if life is present in the Atacama soil with the same instruments that would be used to detect life in the soil on Mars! As a result of the soil's similarites to that of Mars,the Atacama land is used to test instruments for future Mars missions. In addition, the region has been used in movies as a set for filming Mars scenes, most famously in the television show Space Odyssey: Voyage to the Planets.The Atacama Desert is truly a u nique place, due to its lack of rain as well as its similarities to Mars. You would think that this place would be a bare ghost town (鬼域), but think again! Many people have lived here for centuries, giving this desert its own culture and economic significance.56. What does the underlined word "arid" in the first paragraph mean?A. Big.B. Dry.C. Hot.D. Long.pared to the Sahara Desert, the Atacama Desert is _____.A. smallerB. wetterC. less famousD. less hot58.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. origin of the Salt Lakes.B. rainfall in the Atacama Desert.C. the weather in the Atacama Desert.D. The current situation of the Salt Lakes.59.The TV program mentioned in the text____.A. tells Atacama's similarities to MarsB. focuses on the soil of MarsC. explores life in AtacamaD. was filmed in Atacama60.According to the author, the Atacama Desert ___.A. is a very frightening placeB. is as mysterious as MarsC. is somehow livableD. has many poor townsBWhile nature lovers across th e world wish all humans to realize the significance of their natural surroundings, many Australians are turning caring for the environment into a way of life.Julie Astonis, an Australian housewife in Brisbane is one such example. Even though autumn is approaching Australia's Brisbane in April, one can still watch colorful blooming (盛开的) flowers in Julie's little garden, as she tells that in her community, "Each of us has a beautiful yard. The whole community, from children to elderly people, takes care of the environment as if they are taking care of their own garden.""Gardening is the most popular club in our community，" she says. "A lot of retired people don't just regularly organize gardening lectures，but also personally visit families in the community to provide gardening training. So you can see that flowers continue to blossom in our gardens throughout the year."Talking about her people's sense of caring for the environment, Julie says when people in thecommunity take along their dog, they always carry a garbage bag to deal with the dog's waste. "In our community, you will never experience the embarrassment of stepping on the dirty waste while you are walking on the grass," says Julie with a smile.“T aking care of the the dog’s waste can also help to develop children's sense of responsibility!”As to protecting water resources, the Australian goverment has made strict rules for families. Julie says, "We certainly would not use tap water to water the flowers!" She says almost every family in her c ommunity has a huge tank used to store rainwater，which is later used as the resource of all outdoor water use，including car washing and watering the garden. This year, they also asked people to connect the water tank with their toilets.61.From the first three paragraphs we learn t hat_____A. gardening is popular in most parts of AustraliaB. April is a great time for people to enjoy flowersC. it's not easy to keep a garden without proper trainingD. Julie's community has a deep sense of caring for nature62.Why can flowers be seen all year round in Julie's community?A. Gardening lessons are often given by professors.B. Families are taught how to take care of their gardens.C. The local government provides free gardening training.D. There is enough rainwater to water the flowers regularly.63.What do we know about Julie from Paragraph 4?A. She takes pride in her community.B. She once stepped on a dog's waste.D. She is quite in favor of raising a dog. D. She finds it embarrassing to walk on the grass..64.From what Julie says in the last paragraph, we know___.A. rainwater is not the best resourceB. her community owns a public tankC. her community makes full use of resourcesD. it is not necessary to water flowers very often65.Whanvould be the best title for the text?A. Love nature, the Australian wayB. How Australians save resourcesC. How Australians lead their lifeD. Protect nature, a must of lifeCXiangzi –Lucky, in English - is appropriately named. His owner Qiu Hong, a sports marketer,lets the dog enjoy two daily walks,a collection of imported American toys, $300 worth of monthly food and treats and his own sofa in her high-rise apartment. When Ms. Qiu feels bored, she takes Xiangzi out for a long run in her car.In a sense, Xiangzi is not just a dog, but a social phenomenon – and, perhaps, a marker of how quickly the Chinese nation is booming through its transformation from poor farmer to first-world citizen.Twenty years ago,there were hardly any dogs in Beijing, but now there're 900，000 registered dogs with countless thousands of others unlicensed. How this came to be is, in some ways, the story of modern China as well."People used to be focused on improving their own lives, and they weren't really acquainted with raising dogs，" said Ms. Qiu. "But with the improvement in the economy，people's outlooks (观念) have changed."Having a dog can be a way to relieve the stress in people's lives, but mostly Beijing dogs have, as in the West, become objects of affection - even devotion - by their owners. It's easy tofind dog-treat stores, dog Web sites, dog social networks, dog swimming pools – even, for a time recently, a bring-your-dog cinema and a bring-your-dog bar on Beijing's downtown nightclub row.The doglike devotion of pet owners here seems to have softened the city government heart. In 1994，Beijing officials relaxed their no-dog policy to "severely restrict" dogs. In ,it was changed again to a llow anyone to own a dog，but to limit city dogs to no mo re than 35 centimeters in height. And nowadays the restriction seems to be loosely carried out.As for sti-fried Pekingese (京叭狗) - well，that dog,too, may have seen its day. A formal suggestion to ban the eating of dogs has been made by a law professor named Chang Jiwen，who considered himself "not so much a dog lover as a China lover". "With China developing so quickly, more people should know how to treat animals properly，" he said in 3 telephone interview.66. What's the main idea of the first paragraph?A.Xiang Zi is a clever dog.B. Xiangzi lives a happy life.C. Qiu Hong has a lot of money.D. Qiu Hong is very busy.67. Paragraph Four mainly shows that Beijingers_____.A.Iive under too much pressureB.Iove dogs evry muchC.are good at makin g moneyD.have modernized their city68.Judging from the article,we can know that______.A.Pet owners can be as devoted as the d ogB.there were no dogs in Beijing beforeC.Beijing strictly bans dogs above 35cm high in practiceD.Chang Jiwen spoke for dog lovers only69.Which is NOT mentioned in the article?A.China’s economical development.B.The psychological problems in modern society.C.People’s attitude to wards animals.D.The problems caused by dog keeping.70.Which can be the best title of the article?A.Chinese Dogs Are LuckyB.Dogs Help Humans Live BetterC.Dogs Reflect China’s RiseD.Dogs Enjoy More Freedom In BeijingDFor most families, a long car journey is the bane of any trip. But for the Zapps, their 83-year-old vehicle has been a home for the past 11 years, as the couple travel around the world on a never ending trip of a lifetime, covering 142，000 miles over four continents.Herman and Candelaria Zapp, who got married to each other in 1996 and to their journey in , Set off from Patagonia, Argentina, heading for Alaska. They came back to Argentina in,but settled there only for a couple of weeks, before deciding the open road is the only way to live. They have been traveling ever since, with a trip around South America between and , then central America, the U.S. and Canada until .The car was shipped to Australia, New Zealand, Japan and South Korea as they traveled those countries and they are currently in the Philippines on a tour of South East Asia.As a proof that life is possible in such a mobile style, the family of the two slowly grew to a number of six.They became, over the years and while on the road, parents to four children，Pampa (eight), Tehue (five), Paloma (three) and Wallaby (one). Remarkably, each of their kids has a different nationality."My grandfather knew that we wanted to travel and to never stop so he gave me the old Grdham-Paige car he used on his farm," Herman said. Each night the six Zapps either sleep in oraround a tent set up next to their car, but more often than not they find a friendly local who will put them up for the night.The only hard rule the couple have to stick by, is the 40mph speed limit the 83-year old car is restricted to.Their trip is supported with the money coming from selling books they write about the places they visit.71. Which word has a similar meaning to the underlined word "bane" in the first paragraph?A.Beginning.B. Highlight.C. Pleasure.D. Discouragement.72.______years after their marriage, the couple decided to travel forever.A. FourB. EightC. NineD. Eleven73. The birthplace of the couple's second child Tehue must be in____.A. South AmericaB. Central AmericaC. AustraliaD. South East Asia74. What can we learn about the Zapps' car?A. The family sleep in it during the night.B. It can travel on water like a ship.C. It can never run faster than 4Omph.D. Herman’s grandfather bought it for them.75. Where do the Zapps keep their kids?A. They let the' kids travel with them.B. They let the kids stay where they were born.C. They sent the kids to their motherland.D. They keep the kids in a foreign country.第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分,共15分）Nowadays, researchers from the University of Maryland found that nearly four in five students have depression,panic,confusion and extreme isolation when they are forced to keep away from technology for a day.The study concluded that "most students failed to go the full 24 hours without media". They have been addicted to the modem technology.In this research, almost 1,000 university students from 12 campuses in 10 countries, including Britain, America and China, have been interviewed. Most of them were unable to avoid technology for one full day. The researchers concluded that, college students at campuses across the globe admitted being "addicted" to modem technology such as mobile phones, laptops and televisions as well as social networking such as Facebook and Twitter. An American college student told of his great desire when he was forced to keep away from the media. He even said it "cocaine addiction".The research also found students used "nearly the same words to describe their reactions when they were away from the media”.These included emotions such as confusion,anxiety, insecurity, jealousness, anger, loneliness, dependence and depression.Professor Susan Moeller, who led the research, said technology had changed the students' relationships. "Students talked about how seary(可怕的) it was when there is no technology, how addicted they were to it，" she said. "They expected the frustration without the media. But they didn't expect to have the psychological effects，to be lonely, to be panicked, the anxiety, literally heart palpitations (心悸).

Robert Heilbroner, a well-known economist (34) _______ wrote a widely read book on economic history warned: “As machines continue to invade society, it is human labor itself (35) _______ gradually becomes needless.〞Economists Frank Levy of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Richard Murnane of Harvard believe that computers have eliminated many jobs and will continue to do so. ATMs have reduced the need for tellers (出纳员). Computerized airport ticket boxes have limited the number of ticket agents.But they also claim that new computer jobs are far more than losses. There are 3.5 million workers directly (36) __________ (involve) in creating computer infrastructure(根底设), such as software developers, systems analysts and data experts.As a result, job creation in the future will focus on three kinds of work: solving unstructured problems (e.g. performing delicate surgery), working with new information (e.g. analyzing marketing data), and carrying out manual tasks (e.g. moving furniture).The key question is whether schools (37) _______ adapt to the computer revolution. For the foreseeable future, the challenge of ‘cybernation (电脑化)’ is not mass unemployment, but the need (38) _______ (educate) many more young people for the jobs computers cannot do.Although schools are far better than in earlier decades, the skills required for the first two types of jobs, the well-paying jobs, have become (39) _______ (difficult). Future living standards depend heavily on (40) _______ schools can produce those higher skills in larger quantities.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.We believe that there is more to education than preparation for a job. Children must be prepared for all (41) ________ of their adult life work, leisure, personal relationships, creative activities, dealing with money matters, independence, and parenthood.However, it would be (42) ________ to provide an education which gave no consideration to the needs of employers.What type of training does the business world regard as important?Many young people applying for jobs were, in the employers’opinions, very weak in the basic skills of handwriting, grammar and spelling.

What iscertain is that employers do not believe the standard is now high enough.

But it is still the same girls and boys with the same degree of ability. NO wonder there are (48) ________ in reaching the “necessary standards〞of the business world.Many employers believed that it was important for teachers to have experience outside the world of college and school. They should work for a while at some other kind of job to see how the world of business and commerce is different from their own. The teaching profession and society in general needed a greater understanding of manpower needs and therefore of the (49) _________ direction of the education system. Many employers believed that it was important for teachers to have (50) _________ outside the world of college and school.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as "Empty Nest Syndrome".In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing responsein time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as "distant parent phenomenon", which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for "Empty Nest Syndrome".66. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by ______.A. their earlier experience of feeling lonelyB. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countriesC. the common worry about their incomeD. the geographical distance between parents and children67. Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind, to _______.A. live in the countries with more moneyB. seek a better place for their aged parentsC. continue their studies abroadD. realize their dreams in foreign countries68. If young people go abroad, ______.A. they do not hold to the value of duty at allB. they can give some help to their parents back homeC. they cannot do what they should for their parentsD. they believe what they actually do is right69. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ______.A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are differentB. "Empty Nest Syndrome" has arrived unexpectedly in our societyC. children will become independent as soon as they go abroadD. the aged parents are not fully prepared for "Empty Nest Syndrome"( B )(You may read the questions first.)70. According to the passage, teachers would be working with students _______________.A. immediately after they apply for the positionB. in the National City Center across ChinaC. 21---25 hours a week even on national holidaysD. ranging from kindergarten students to teenagers71. How much can Smith get on July 15 if he promises to teach for a year on January 15?A. 9500 RMBB. 28500 RMBC. 34200 RMBD. 57000RMB72. Who will be possibly admitted as an English teacher according to the passage?A. Bo Savino from America, 35, a 10-year Chinese immigrant.B. Douglas Carter from Canada, 30, a former doctor.C. Abigale from Australian, 42, an experienced teacher.D. Alexa Joy Nino from India, 39, an experienced teacher.73. We can conclude that teachers admitted by this school group are allowed to ____________.A. get a cash reward for good performanceB. live in the north of HongKongC. see a doctor for freeD. visit a variety of local schools(C)Received cooperative wisdom maintains that we should all accept the stimulating power of “co-working〞 and “hive offices’, where we are elbow-to-elbow with our colleagues. Privacy, it is claimed, stifles〔扼杀〕creativity.A study from the University of Sydney begs to differ. Researchers surveyed more than 40,000 office workers in 303 companies worldwide and found that the plus sides of an open-plan office --- ideas sharing and friendship, are far overtaken by the downsides --- disruption and noise pollution.When the first open-plan office, the Larkin Administration Building in New York, opened in 1906, all conversation was banned and those in positions of power had separate spaces. Now that corner offices are seen as expensive, your desk neighbor is just as likely to be your boss as an intern. This means permanently being on your best behavior and feeling the pressure to make small talk every time your eyes meet over the mouse pad.In a survey of American workers by Ask , “noisy colleagues〞 were cited as the No.1 workplace disruption, above phone calls and social media. A 2010 study from the University of California found that it takes the average worker 25 minutes to get back into the flow of a task after an interruption. This suggests that, if you’re interrupted 16 times during an eight-hour day, you may as well have stayed in bed.Professor Cary Cooper, an expert on occupational stress form Lancaster University, suggests the help of symbolism. “Make it common knowledge that, if you fly a red flag above your desk, it means you are working on something detailed and need peace and quiet,〞 he says. “A white flag means that you are available.〞On internet forums〔论坛〕, dissatisfied desk colleagues exchange tips on how to make your workspace as uninviting as possible. These include: never having a sweetjar or new toys on your desk and, if you have a “guest〞 chair, piling it with papers so that interrupters have nowhere to sit. You can even set up fake calendar alerts to go off at intervals in case you need to make an escape.The last aid is unpopularity; be rude, cold and unhelpful until colleagues are terrified to come near you. It may not even come to that. Who would really want to approach a flag-waving crazy guy in a ridiculous hat?74. The researchers from the University of Sydney will agree that ____________.A. privacy will prevent creativityB. an open-plan office has stimulating powerC. an open-plan office makes people less productiveD. an open-plan office is beneficial in terms of idea sharing75. Which of the following descriptions about a modern open-plan office is NOT TRUE?A. You are more likely to make small talks with colleagues.B. You are supposed to behave yourself most of the time.C. You will probably sit along aside your boss.D. You will have more peace and quiet.76. All the following are suggestions to reduce interruption in an office EXCEPT __________.A. making workplace uninvitingB. making more private phone callsC. turning to symbolism for helpD. making oneself unpopular among colleagues77. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. A Report Issued by the University of SydneyB. Noisy Colleagues Cited as No. 1 Office DisruptionC. Open-Plan Office Stimulating ProductivityD. How to Survive in An Open-Plan OfficeSection DDirections: Read the following passage and then complete the statements and answer the questions on the answer sheet.Since humans first domesticated cats and dogs, these furry friends have taken on increasingly important roles in people’s lives.As wild animals, dogs and cats first entered human life in the role of hunting animals and guardians, then as companions and finally as family members. Now, a legal battle is under way that could make these animals legal citizens.The first potential evidence of dog domestication dates back to 30,000 B.C. Before they were pets, dogs helped humans hunt, and cats helped guard grain supplier by keeping rats and mice away. But the Middle Ages were a grim period for cats and dogs. Considered agents of Satan, millions of black cats were killed throughout Europe in 1233. People regarded animals as soulless machines and did experiments on living dogs. It wasn’t until the late 1800s and early 1900s that dogs and cats’ condition improved. People brought cats and dogs indoors where they treated them as family members.“As human relationships are becoming more virtual, it’s creating an emotional emptiness in our lives,〞said David Grimm, a science journalist. “Cats and dogs keep us anchored to the real world.〞Today, there are animal anti-cruelty laws in all 50 U.S. states, with penalties that include fines and prison time. Dogs and cats can even inherit money, but they’re still considered property.Now, a growing effort seeks to grant personhood to animals, including cats and dogs. Driving this movement is an increasing awareness of animal intelligence and their emotional capabilities. In recent years, researchers have found that dogs can understand pointing---an ability that chimpanzees lack---and are capable of empathy and even abstract thinking.Cats are much harder to study, because as any cat owner knows, it’s tough toget a cat to do what it’s told. However, cats are known to be intelligent creatures, too.Yet not everyone supports the push to treat animals as fellow citizens. Scientists worry that recognizing pets as legal persons could make it impossible to use animals in research. Farmers are also concerned that if dogs and cats were considered ‘people’, cows and chickens could be next----a move that put an end to the livestock industry.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS) 78. When cats and dogs first entered human life, what did they serve as?________________________________________________________________________. 79. For a period of time in history, black cats were killed in large numbers dueto the popular belief among people that _________________________________________.80.Dogs believed to be intelligent and have emotional capabilities because of_______________________ and their capability of empathy and abstract thinkingas well.81.According to the article, who are against treating pets as legal citizens?____________________________________________________________________________ .第II卷 (共47分)I.

AWe went to the B.T Blackstone Library, not far from Lake Michigan, once a week. During every visit I found my way into a big reading room to touch a great and ancient globe sitting in front of the largest windows. I liked to look at Africa, with the coded colors of the different countries like the Belgian Congo and Rhodesia, and try to remember which countries were fighting to be free just as we were struggling for civil rights. I had heard Daddy talking about the struggle, arguing with the television as someone discussed it on a news show.On Saturday, as I wandered through the young adult section. I saw a title: Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott. I could tell from looking at the s helf that she’d written a lot of books, but I didn’t know anything about her. I had learned from experience that titles weren’t everything. A book that sounded great on the shelf could be dull once you got it home, and every bad book I brought home meant one less book to read until we went back in a week. So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first paragraphs: “Christmas won’t be Christmas without any presents” grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.“It’s so dreadful to be poor” sighed Med, looking down at her old dress.“I don’t think it’s fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all” added little Amy, with an injured sniff.“We have got Father and Mother and each other.” said Beth contentedly from her corner.I h ad decided on some other books to take home, because I didn’t look through the rest of the section that day. I read and read and read Little Women.I wouldn’t put it down until the end. Even the freedom to watch weekend television held no appeal for me in girls who could almost be like me, especially Jo, the heroine. It seemed to me a shame that she wasn’t Black: then our similarity would be complete. She loved to read, she loved to make up plays, she hated acting ladylike, she had a dreadful temper. I had found a kindred spirit(志趣相投的人).21. What can be learned about the author’s father?A. He was uncomfortable discussing politics with his children.B. He had strong feelings about the Civil Rights movement.C. He didn’t approve of most news covered on TV.D. He generally had a pessimistic world view.22. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that the author is most likely to agree______.A. books seem duller when read in libraries than when read at home.B. interesting books are often very dull in their first few paragraphs.C. novels are usually more interesting than nonfiction works.D. book titles can sometimes be misleading.23. The author quotes(引用) some lines from Little Women as part of a larger attempt to____.A. convey the impact of an unexpected discovery.B. d escribe a young reader’s sense of history.C. illustrate the author’s life.D. e xplain a child’s loneliness.24. The author lists several things about Jo primarily to______.A. challenge an interpretationB. highlight some differencesC. stress a comparisonD. develop a disapproving opinionBFor the business traveler who’s all about efficiency: check out these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum trouble.When you’re pressed for time on a business trip, nothing can infuriate you more than a slow hotel check-in process. On your next trip, try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process.◆Marriott Detroit AirportAnother option for business travelers in a hurry: Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325 hotels this year, including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel. (I’ve tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet.) here is the basic idea: you download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in” virtu ally. When you arrive, you get an alert that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk.◆Hyatt Regency MinneapolisI happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works. The kiosk asks you to insert your credit card, similar to an airport terminal. The whole process took about 3 minutes. When I left, I was equally impressed with the fast check-out: An agent meets you in the lobby with, an iPad and asks for an email to use for a receipt. The big advantage: you never have to wait in line.◆Radisson LaCrosseThe Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster. At a few select hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin，you use a mobile app to register and then receive a barcode by email or text. When you get to the kiosk, you can scan the barcode to get your key without any other steps required. It’s super fast. You can find this new check-in system at the Radisson hotels in Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Phoenix as well.25.What does the word ‘infuriate’, in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. annoy.B. remind.C. amuse .D. impress.26. Which two hotels offer a mobile app for customers to check in?A. Marriott Detroit Airport and Yotel New York .B. Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson LaCrosse.C. Marriott Detroit Airport and Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.D. Hyatt Regency Minneapolis and Radisson LaCrosse.27. Which hotel will send you a receipt by email?A. Yotel New York.B. Marriott Detroit Airport.C. Radisson LaCrosse.D. Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.28. What is the best title for the passage?A. Checking out the hotels will make you in troubleB. Three hotels that will make your life easierC. Try these hotels that offer you comfortD. Hotels for the travelersCThis year, the Paris museum turns forty. The museum —the Pompidou Center —has a secure place in the heart of Paris and in Parisians’ hearts. But it wasn’t always the case.“When it was first built, the reaction was one of disbelief,” said Serge Lasvignes, president of the Pompidou Center. “Le Monde newspaper wrote the museum’s construction brought shame on Paris, and city politicians thought their money had been totally wasted,” said Lasvignes. Critics said it looked like an oil refinery.France’s first museum entirely devoted to contemporary art saw the light of day thanks to the determination of one man —Georges Pompidou, an art lover who served as France’s president from 1969 to 1974.In 1971, he started an international competition to build the museum, originally known as the Centre Beaubourg. The winning team, which included three young architects from Britain and Italy, was completely unknown at the time. Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, the two architects who saw the project through, made the plan a reality.“The design took everyone by surprise. Someone said to Piano, ‘Your thing is terrible —with the escalator (自动扶梯) on the outside, it looks like a supermarket!’” Lasvignes added.Forty years later, the museum still tries to make culture available to everyone, Lasvignes said. He calls the Pompidou Center a museum like no other. “We are not only a museum,”he said. “We have concerts, debates, performances, a library …and everything flows together.”Pompidou felt putting up walls between different forms of art was harmful. “So we are a house of culture where people return again and again, ” Lasvignes said.The Pompidou Center is Europe’s biggest modern art museum; New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is the biggest in the world. “But the two museums have totally different strategies,” Lasvignes said. “The MoMA’s strategy is to collect masterpieces, and we try to represent an entire age”29. What was people’s attitude to the Pompidou Center originally?A. They were ashamed of it.B. They disliked it.C. They were curious about it.D. They paid little attention to it.30. Who completed the construction of the Paris Museum?A. President of the Centre Beaubourg.B. Three unknown French architects.C. Georges Pompidou.D. Piano and Rogers.31. What was the Pompidou Center like in Lasvignes’s eyes?A. Distinctive.B. Quite traditional.C. Very ugly.D. Extremely simple.32. Which is a distinctive feature of the Pompidou Center?A. It collects great masterpieces.B. It holds various cultural events.C. It is the world’s biggest art museum.D. It is particularly attractive to foreigners.DThe Sabi-Sand game reserve in South Africa is one of the richest wildlife regions in the African continent. Over 200 species of mammals and 350 different birds can be found in its vast plains, grasslands and forest.The reserve is a wonderful habitat for wildlife. Various measures are being put in place. These include dealing with the problem of erosion (土壤侵蚀). In 1996 the reserve had abnormally high rainfall. This could have been absolutely disastrous. However, erosion was successfully fought by means of gabion stretchers, which were wire baskets filled with rocks. Workers also used a lot of old aerial(航空的) photographs，which helped return the land to its earlier state. This meant recreating open grassland areas to attract different types of animals.In addition to these measures, the reserve employs a wide range of local workers. Building staff accommodation of any sort would have made a big impact on the environment and would have gone against the objective of keeping the reserve as natural as possible. Instead, transport is provided so employees can live a normal life with their families outside the sea, and human impact is kept to a minimum.Visitors to the reserve spend about six hours a day in open vehicles, observing wildlife on game drives. They are accompanied by a ranger and a local tracker. Ranger and tracker together make a professional team. They are highly educated and have in-depth knowledge of the bush. Tourists can listen to ‘ranger-speak’ on the two-way radio and enjoy the moment on a game drive when a cheetah (猎豹) with her five cubs was lying in a sea of long yellow grass, her markings almost invisible.The Sabi-Sand reserve is a place where animals have no fear of humans.
