Glancing back from the front of the queue, I found my best friend Terry, who was treating me like I didn’t exist during the past two weeks, 36 all my calls and messages.With all the students seated in the exam room, Mr. Reed, our physics teacher, talked to the class and announced the exam. I hated physics and felt it hard to 37 my paper. I was just looking up when a 38 caught my eye. I could hardly believe it! Terry had her phone on her left knee and she was reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good 39 ? I almost put my hand up to tell the teacher, but what would everyone else think of her? However, it wasn’t40 ! So I nodded to Mr. Reed. He walked 41 down the row of tables. Terry was busy with her phone so that she didn’t even find Mr. Reed had42 her. She looked up from her phone with a frightened expression. Before she had a chance to explain, Mr. Reed took her 43 and told her to leave the room. Terry started crying as she walked to the door, looking back over her shoulder at me, sad and ashamed.After the exam, I received a text message from Terry, saying “I’m really 44 that I’ve been avoiding you lately but it’s been the hardest two weeks of my life. My dad has a heart attack and he’s been in hospital. He has a(n) 45 today and I am really worried. I know it is stupid, but I was trying to send a text message to my mum to see how it was going. Then Mr. Reed caught me and thought I was 46 . I wish I’d told you what’s been happening. I know I shouldn’t47 who my friends are. Will you forgive me?” At these words, from my deep heart sprang up a burst of guilt along with the belief: Friendship is an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure.36.

To keep it looking good, we occasionally take it 48 a wash. If we abuse the car, it won’t take us where we want to go. 49 it is with our body and soul. The body is just like a vehicle to do the soul’s b uilding. 50 the body is full of energy, it can help open up the soul. Some deeper life issues will become easy for us. Just 51 we learn to maintain a car, we ought to learn how to maintain the body. There must be 52 balance between enjoying ourselves and working. For one thing, we don’t need to be a slave. 53 can sometimes refresh the body so that our soul can accomplish more. For 54 , we have to be in control. Enjoy the pleasure, 55 don’t be addicted to it. Only when our body is at full power can the “will-power” go further.Part III Reading Comprehension (10marks)Most parents of kids under age 8 don't worry about how much time they spend watching TV or using other media, from computers to smart phones to tablets PCs, according to a new survey that found a child's use of media often reflects how much time parents spend in the similar way.¨We generally found that media use is not a source of conflict in the home" for families with young children, Ellen Wartella, a researcher from Northwestem University, told USA Today.She led a survey of 2,326 parents who have children 8 and younger.It found that in 80 percent of families, children's media use was not a problem, with 55 percent “not too" or“ not at all" concerned about it.It also showed parents have more positive than negative feelings about how media consumption affects a child's learning and the development of creativity.The exception is video games, which are viewed more negatively than TV, computers or mobile devices.“Parents rated video games as more likely to have a negative effect on children's school performance, attention time, creativity, social skills, behavior and sleep than any other medium," the researchers said in a news conference about the survey.¨The findings exposes a generational shift (转移)in parental attitudes about technology's role in young children's lives," said Wartella.“Today's parents grew up with technology as a central pact of their lives, so they think about it differently than earlier generations of parents, instead of a battle with kids on one side and parents on the other, the use of media and technology has become a family affair."The researchers identified three media environments created by parents: media-centric (39 percent of families), media-moderate (45%)and media-light (16%).Children in media-centric families spend at least three hours more each day watching TV or using computers, video games and tablet PCs don't make parenting easier.And 88 percent of parents say they are most likely to turn to toys or activities to keep their children occupied.Slightly fewer turn to books (79%)and TV(78%).The survey didn't look at how media affects children.That's a topic that the American Academy of Pediatrics has handled a number of times.The AAP says studies have found too much media use can lead to attention- problems, schooldifficulties, sleep and eating disorders and being fat.In addition, the Internet and cell phones can provide platforms for illegal and risky behaviors.¨By limiting screen time and offering educational media and non-electronic formats (格式)such as books, newspapers and board games, and watching television with their children, parents can help guide their children's media experience.Putting questionable content into context and teaching kids a700ut advertising contributes to their media literacy (素养)," it says.The pediatricians' group says parents should have “screen-free zones" and TV should be turned off during dinner.At most, it recommends children and teens engage with entertainment media for no more than two hours a day and that should be high-quality content.It is important for kids to spend time on outdoor play, reading, hobbies and using their imaginations in free play.“ Kids under 2 should not use television and other entertainment media because their brains are developing quickly and they learn best from direct human interaction," the group says.An article on screen time by t.he Mayo Clinic also notes problems linked to over screen time, including being fat, irregular sleep , behavioral problems , weak school performance , violence and less time for active and creative play.56.Parents have more negative than positive feelings about media consumption like .A.computers B.smart phonesC.video games D.tablets PCs57.Most parents don't worry about kid's media use because .A.they can limit the screen time B.they want their children happyC.they also grew up with technology D.they can teach their children themselves 58.From the data of the survey, we learn .A.children in media-centric families are smarter than othersB.children in media-light families spend one hour watching TVC.more than half of the parents think children's media use was a problem D.media-centric children spend more than three hours each day on media use59 To make parenting easier, most parents probably .A.try to persuade their children to read booksB.ask their children questions while watching TVC.allow their children watching TV or using computersD.turn to toys or activities to keep their children occupied60 Which of the following is a suggestion by the researchers?A.Media use time for babies under 2 should be limited.B.Entertainment media use should be high-quality content.C.Schools should provide more time for active and creative play.D.Home media use should provide platforms for illegal and risky behaviors.Part IV Writing (10marks)Section A (10 marks)There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degreeof health and wealth and other comfort of life, one becomes happy while the other becomes unhappy. This difference comes from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things, the pleasant parts of a conversation, the well prepared dishes, for example. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. So, they’re always dissatisfied. They cannot feel the pleasure of society, they hurt other people, and they make themselves unpopular everywhere. Their intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation, but it gradually grows into a bad habit as time goes on.Though being unhappy is most probably an act of imagination, it has serious results in life, for it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. The unhappy ones hurt many people; nobody will love them, and nobody will treat them with basic politeness and respect. When they need some advantages in social position or fortune, no one will wish them success.In order to help the unhappy ones, it is strongly suggested that they should change their bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and the others. If they do it, it will be good for both themselves and the others, and bright life will definitely smile at them some day.时量:45 分钟总分:65 分命题:陈煜娜审题:易蓉单项选择:(15’)完形填空二:(12’)48. ________ 49. ________ 50. ________ 51. ________ 52. ________ 53. ________ 54. ________ 55. ________ 阅读理解:(10’)56---60:___________________阅读填空(10’)71._____________ 72.______________73______________ 74.____________75.__________ 76.__________77.__________ 78.____________79.____________ 80._____________湘阴一中2015届英语周考试卷(六)命题:陈煜娜审题:易蓉单项选择:(15’)完形填空二:(12’)48. for 49.

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.(A)LATEST BOOKSBelow you’ll find some latest published books that have been added to the library’s collection in the past 45 days.She Is Not InvisibleSergwick’s ―She Is Not Invisible‖ is partly a thriller, partly a philosophical reflection on coincidence, but mostly, it’s the story of Laureth: a blind British teenager w hose father, a famous author, has gone missing in America. She sets out to find him, taking her seven-year-old brother as a guide. She is not sure this is strictly legal, so she pretends not to be blind as they make their way through Heathrow airport and the streets of New York City.Six Bad Poets―Six Bad Poets‖ is a farce-in-verse(闹剧式诗句) by Christopher Reid, following the brave acts and misfortunes of a group of poets –three men and three women, whose destinies(命运) are more closely connected than they themselves can know, in their attempts to deal with the risks of London literary society.Britain Against NapoleonThis book describes how the British state successfully organized itself to overcome Napoleon. For more than twenty years after 1793, the French army was supreme(最优的) in continental Europe, and the British population lived in fear of French invasion(人侵). How did Britain survive and win a generation-long war against a country which at its peak commanded many times Britain’s own resources and manpower?In ―Britain Against Napoleon‖, Roger K night looks beyond the familiar bravery of the army and navy to the politicians and civil servants, and examines how they made it possible to continue the war.The Beau MondeHannah Greig’s ―The Beau Monde‖ tells the story of the world’s first fashion-obsessed(痴迷于时尚的) society in eighteenth-century London and takes us on a tour from court and Parliament (约会) to Georgian London’s parks, pleasure grounds and private homes, meeting a rich and colorful cast of contemporary characters along the way. It reveals the secrets of how membership of the new elite(精英) was won, maintained and sometimes lost. This book also shows how being fashionable was the key to power in a new social order.56. According to the passage, Laureth______A. is a famous writerB. is a blind young girlC. has been lost in New YorkD. has raised her little brother by herself57. Who writes a book about six poets?A. Christopher Reid.B. Hannah Greig.C. Roger Knight.D. Sedgwick.58. The book ―Britain Against Napoleon‖ focuses on_______A. how the British defeated NapoleonB. how Napoleon occupied the UKC. the contribution of politiciansD. the influence of war59. If you are interested in the history of fashion, you should read______.A. ―She Is Not Invisible‖B. ―Six Bad Poets‖C ―Britain Against Napoleon‖ D. ―The Beau Monde‖60. The main purpose of passage is to______.A. compare the booksB. inform readers of new booksC. advocate diverse readingD. persuade people to read more(B)When my friend put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the first reaction they gave was, ―You are cutting the child off the world.‖ Did the child really get cut off or did the ch ild socialize better?The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers(同龄人). However, in my friend’s opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is restricted to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child’s life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a betteropportunity to socialize when compares with my kids. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the traditional schooling system and feel regular schooling the safest bet.61. What is the author’s attitude towards his friend’s idea of homeschooling?A. Surprised.B. Interested.C. Confident.D. Negative.62. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to _________.A. express his views on homeschooling.B. explain what homeschooling is.C. share his ways of teaching his children.D. promote homeschooling.63. What do we know about homeschooling children?A. They don’t interact with their peers often.B. They have more spare time to play.C. They are restricted to certain activities.D. They can’t gain enough knowledge.64. According to the author what is the biggest advantage of homeschooling children?A. They will become braver.B. They can be more popular.C. They can be better at socializing.D. They can study better.65. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By following the order of importance.B. By following the order of timeC. By making comparison.D. By presenting facts.(C)Feeling lonely? New research suggests you might want to find out that answer. Not only is loneliness an unpleasant condition, it can also harm the body’s immune system.The new study shows that people who are lonely experience more reactivation(重新激活) of hidden viruses in their systems than the well-connected ones. Lonely people also are more likely than others to produce inflammatory compounds(炎性化合物) in response to stress, which may cause heart disease and other chronic disorders. ―Both, in different ways, indicate that the immune system is out of whack,‖ said study researcher Lisa Jaremka.Jaremka and her colleagues studied 200 female breast cancer survivors and 134 overweight, middle-aged adults with no major health problems.In the first study, the researchers analyzed the blood of the breast cancer survivors for antibodies against viruses. These common viruses can remain inactive and symptomless inside the body. Higher antibody levels indicate higher levels of activated viruses. The results showed that the lonelier the participant, the higher the levels of virus antibodies in the blood. Jaremka said, ―The immune sy stem is unable at that time, for whatever reason, in this case loneliness perhaps, to keep that virus under control.In the second study, the researchers measured cytokines(炎性因子) in 144 of the breastcancer survivors as well as the healthy thought overweight middle-aged adults. The participants gave a blood sample and then experienced the stress of having to give a speech and do mental math in front of people in white lab coats.After the stressful speech, the lonelier the person is, the higher the levels of cytokine interleuking-6 are. This cytokine is important for healing in the short term, because it promotes inflammation. However, when cytokines react too readily, inflammation can be harmful. Chronic inflammation has been linked to many diseases.People who are lonely also tend to react more strongly to negative events in their lives. If lonely people experience daily life as more stressful, it may cause chronic stress, which in turn disrupts the immune system.The study indicates that those who feel close to friends and family can know that their health is likely getting benefits from those relationships. People who feel socially connected are experiencing positive outcomes.66. The Underlined phrases ―is out of whack‖ in Paragraph 2 can be re placed by_____.A. becomes healthyB. goes wrongC. starts to respondD. lose connection67. What do the high levels of antibodies indicate?A. The immune system is failing to control the viruses.B. The immune system has managed to kill the viruses.C. The person has been badly ill.D. The immune system has been damaged.68. Why should frequent reaction of cytokines be avoided?A. Because it would make people more stressed.B. Because it can destroy the immune system completely.C.

Fill in the numbered blankets by using theinformation from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Most people with problems see their problem as limitations to their success. The moment you begin to see your problems as stumbling blocks (绊脚石), you start to have more problems. But the way you see your problems determines how they affect you. If you see your problems as the walls that cannot be broken down, then problems will affect you more than they are supposed to. But if you see your problems as opportunities, then you will be able to solve them and get the message that the problems are passing across to you.The greatest men always remain calm when they face problems. When they face problems, they remain positive. Staying positive is one of the keys to solving your problems. When used well it could help get you out of difficulty. When you remain positive, you put yourself in the right position to solve your problems effectively.Problems act as a good teacher and give you something new to learn, and with every lesson comes a solution. You must learn from the problem itself and look for the way forward instead of complaining, worrying and giving excuses. Every problem is just like an examination. Once you solve the problem, you get to the next level.Not everybody is fit to share your problems with you, and not everybody is fit to know your problems. But you should have someone you can speak to and someone who is always willing to listen to you. You must be able to be accountable to this person and the person must be someone that is better and know much more than you. This person would be able to give you meaningful advice, monitor your progress and also support you.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Nong Luhuan had a wild dream when he was little: He wanted to become a cartoonist and publish books of his own. Now, the 22-year-old art design major at Sichuan Fine Art Institute hasachieved his dream. His micro blog cartoon has more than 260,000 followers and he will publish his first book soon.Nong’s micro blog cartoon first drew wide attention in late 2012. He draws stories of real-life people striving to (努力) achieve their life goals. Though each story consists of only several pictures, it takes Nong a lot of time and effort to finish them. ― I want my work to be recognizable.I want people to think of me as a cartoonist who makes cheerful works,‖ Nong says. Therefore he digs deep into each person’s story. Before drawing, he spends a whole day researchi ng the person’s background and another three days on interviews. ―Micro blog cartoons are interesting not because of the drawings. We attract viewers with the content,‖ Nong says. ―Besides, viewers only spend one or two minutes on each micro blog post. If my work can cause reflection, then it is meaningful.‖On the way to success, Nong had his struggles. He even thought about giving up drawing in 2011. But when he read the micro blog cartoons of Chen Anni, a well-known female cartoonist of Nong’s age, he found new courage. ―She is not even a fine art student and she is pursuing (追求) her dream of drawing cartoons. Why should I give up?‖ Nong says. After that, Nong worked even harder, gradually becoming popular and receiving positive feedback.Many fans have sent Nong private messages, telling him that his work has encouraged them to pursue their life goals and that if they succeed they will share their stories with him. ―I’m glad that I have conveyed a positive attitude through my work. My readers are motivated through it and are themselves becoming a source of motivation for others,‖ he says.81.What does Nong draw in his micro blog cartoons?

If you’re looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, pickup the phone. Not being able to see the other person and the body language can make the chatting difficult. 36 Here are some tips to guide you throughan average phone conversation in English.1. GreetingsEvery phone call should begin with a polite greeting such as “Hi, how’ve you been?” or “Nice to hear from you”. Even if you’re calling a business contactfor a specific purpose, it’d be rude to jump right into business. 372. Getting to the pointThere always comes the point where you want to move on from friendly chatting and get down to business. What should you do in this situation? 38 However,if you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversationby saying “So what can I do for you?”3. Interrupting without offenceSometimes you may happen to be speaking with a very talkative person. 39 Keep in mind when you’d like to interrupt, be sure to do it politely. For example, begin with “I’d like to say something here”.4. Closing the callThis can be the trickiest part of the conversation! It may be the time to offer good wishes such as good luck on that interview or hope you feel better soon if it’s appropriate. 40 Sometimes it’s easiest to just say you enjoyed speakingto the other person. Also remember cleverly saying the word well at the beginningof a sen tence can indicate you’re ready to end the conversation.A. So it may be difficult to get a word in.B. Practice English through phone calls.C. Never fear, though!D. Use the phrase “I’m just calling to...” to change to the topic at hand.E. Additionally, you may want to confirm any plans you’ve made.F. You should make a little small talk at the beginning.G. You’d better greet him or her in a friendly way.二.完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分, 满分30分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Sharpen your pencils, ready your typing fingers, and fire your imagination at the Library’s Writing & Book Camp! If you are one of them, welcome to join us!Who should come?Vancouver Public Library’s Writing &Book Camp was created for young people to encourage them to become lifelong readers and writers. At the Writing & Book Camp, they write, read, and have conversations with some o f Canada’s best authors. This camp is for young enthusiastic readers and eager writers who love writing, who have questions to ask and who want their work recognized--- people who feel the need to read and write!How the Writing & Book Camp startedWhen the Canadian Book Camp started 13 years ago, it was the first of its kind in Canada. It was founded in 2000 through a partnership with Vancorver PublicLibrary, Simon Fraser University’s Master of Publishing Program, Publishers, and authors with the aim of connecting book-loving kids to Canadian writer mentors(指导者). Since 2001 the camp has been a project of the Vancorver Public Library and in 2013 the name changed to the Writing & Book Camp.How the Writing & Book Camp worksThe Writing & Book Camp is held annually at the Central Library for five days in August. Workshops and activities highlight(突出)the process of book making. Campers are divided into two age groups, 11-13 and 14 plus. Each day’s activities run from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00p.m. , with a different Canadian writer featured as the major speaker each afternoon.Anthology and Gala(文选和庆祝活动)At the end of the week, each camper has created work that may be in an anthology published by the Library. Camp closes with a Gala to celebrate the young writers’ achi evements. At the Gala some campers read from their work to an audience of parents, family members and friends, authors and other participants. The Gala is always a highlight and provides well-earned recognition and praise to encourage the campers to continue exploring the written world.56. How long does the Writing & Book Camp last?A. For three daysB. For five daysC. For two daysD. For one month57.The Writing & Book Camp is held for young people who are interestedin .A. literatureB. sportsC. historyD. music58. At the Gala of the camp, campers may .A. receive new works by famous writersB. create an anthology with invited writersC. have the chance to read their own workD. win special awards provided by the Library59. According to the passage, the Writing & Book Camp .A. was founded in the year 2002B. is owned by Simon Fraser UniversityC. got its name in the year 2011D. is held every year in August60. The passage is most probably taken from .A. an advertisementB. a news reportC. a book reviewD. a personal diaryBFor good health, be sure to eat fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and lie as seldom as possible. A researcher is hoping this advice will someday take hold, based on results of a "science of honesty" study she completed.Half of 110 participants were told to stop telling major or minor ("white") lies for 10 weeks, while the other half (the control group) was given no special instructions about lying.The 110 people ranged from ages 18 to 71 and came from both sexes and all income levels. All came to a laboratory each week to complete health and relationship questionnaires and to take a test showing the number of major and minor lies they had told that week.When those in the no-lie group told three fewer white lies than in other weeks, they complained less of headaches, tenseness, anxiety and other problems than those in the control group. In addition, they reported that their close personal relationships had improved and their social interactions(交往) had gone more smoothly.“The link was that clear," said study author Anita Kelly, a professor of psychology at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. "Lying less was clearly associated with better health for those people."Previous research indicates that Americans average 11 lies per week, from the little white lies to save face or falsely praise others to major lies about serious matters. Kelly said her study differs from former studies because it didn't focus on how to detect a liar, but on the potential health consequences of telling lies.“People might recognize the more harmful effect lying can have on relationships, but probably don't recognize the extent to which it can cause a lot of stress," said Dr. Bryan Bruno at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.At the end of the study, some participants had created smart ways to avoid lying. Kelly noted that some realized they could simply tell the truth about their daily achievements rather than exaggerate(夸张),while others responded to a troubling question with another question to take the person’s attention away. They also stopped making false excuses for running late or failing to finish tasks.“People usua lly think white lies are acceptable. In fact, white lies are trouble, not just major lies," Kelly said. "As long as you like, you can find effective ways to avoid lying in many cases. It depends on you.”“But the goal doesn’t have to be the absolute absence of lies … the goal would be a reduction in lies,” she added.61. According to the author, doing the following things is good for healthEXCEPT .A. Eating fruits and vegetablesB. Exercising regularlyC. Lying as seldom as possibleD. Watching TV62. The “science of honesty” study by Anita Kelly focused on .A. the effect lifestyles have on health.B. the link between lying and health.C. how to improve relationshipsD. how to discover a liar.63. Which of the following is TRUE about the research?A. All the participants were adults.B. The control group was asked to stop lying.C. The participants had ten physical examinations.D. All the participants were of the same income level.64. The finding of the research is that .A. white lies help to improve relationships.B. few people realize lying harms their health.C. Americans tell 11 lies per week on average.D. Lying less results in better health mentally and physically.65. What is Kelly’s opinion about lying?A. It is easy to stop lying.B. Sometimes it is necessary to tell white lies.C. people should try to lie less.D. Major lies are more harmful than white lies.CWith all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps(处于沮丧中),as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy(礼貌)to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to bypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.66. According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that .A. it makes people more confidentB. it can pick up people’s spiritsC. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the worldD. it can help people get on well with others67. From the second paragraph we can guess what kind of person the author’sgrandma is.A. She is funnyB. She is curiousC. She is humorousD. She is serious68. The phrase “busting a gut" in the third paragraph can be replaced by .A. explaining carefullyB. speaking loudC. keeping silentD. laughing hard69. In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to .A. talk about his own understanding of humorB. encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeC. introduce a practical way to get through daily lifeD. convince people of the power of being optimistic about life70. What is the author’s attitude towards the present world?A. PositiveB. CriticalC. SatisfiedD. IndifferentPart IV Writing (45 marks)SECTION A(10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Couch potatoes define people who live in the world of a television, a comfortable couch and a bag of chips or junk food. They sit around in front of the television, sleep and chew junk food, while absorbing anything on TV. They have a boring lifestyle and rarely move out of the couch.Being a couch potato will not only make your body a fat house, but it will also affect your mental health. For example, it can make you suffer from loss of interest, memory loss and low confidence. Namely, being a couch potato is unhealthy. So we should try to get out of it and move on to a healthy lifestyle.An important way to stop being a couch potato is exercising. Even though youmay not find time, some changes in your schedule will help. Hit the gym regularly and find a fit person to inspire you. Make sure you walk a lot whenever possible. Exercise will fill you with enthusiasm for doing just more than being a couch potato.Spending time with the family is another effective way to stop being a couch potato. When back from school, you can help your family with lunch or dinner. Have food together at the dining table and don’t eat all by yourself in front of the TV set. Playing games with the family is also a good idea.In addition, limiting the entertainment is also a practical solution for couch potatoes. Restrict your timing of television to one or two hours every week or even less. Choose the shows you like best and make sure you only watch them. You can also avoid the use of your remote control. Simply get up from the couch every time you want to change the channel.This will also keep you fit and you’ll end up watching less TV.Directions: Read the following passage; Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Ninety-five percent of people never succeed because they’re following the wrong group.A French scientist once made an experiment with caterpillars (毛虫) looking for food. He led a group of caterpillars onto the edge of a large flowerpot so that the leader of the group found itself nose to tail with the last caterpillar, forming a circle without end or beginning. Out of habit, the ring of the caterpillars circled the flowerpot for seven days and seven nights until they died of starvation. In fact, plenty of food was close at hand, but it was outside the range of the circle, so the caterpillars continued along the wrong path.People often behave in the same way. For example, if som eone shouts, “Fire!” many people will follow the crowd blindly and many thousands have died because of it. How many stop to ask themselves: Is this really the best way out of here?Most people follow the crowd because it seems easier to follow the mainstream than to deal with change on their own even when that change may represent freedom, achievement and success. A hard thing for them to fully understand is that people in such numbers can be wrong. People thought the earth was flat and later it was believed that the sun, stars and planets travelled around the earth. Both ideas are now considered ridiculous, but at the time they were believed by the majority of followers.It’s a good idea to step out of the line every once in a while and look around to see if the line is going where they want it to go. Success only favors those who think outside the box.81. How long did the caterpillar circle the flowerpot? (within 6 words)( 2 marks).82. Why couldn’t the caterpillar find the food ever when it was close at hand? (within10 words) ( 2 marks).83. How does the author support his ideas? (no more than 5 words) ( 3 marks).84.

As for me, it is this year, my 18th birthday ,that impresses me most.It was at my home that we celebrated it at night, during which time we enjoyed the party and had so much delicious food. To my joy, my relatives and classmates came to my home, all wearing a big smile on their faces. The most exciting and touching moment was when Mother put the big birthday cake on the table and all my friends began to sing Happy Birthday. Seeing the 18 candles burning, I couldn’t keep back my tears. After making a wish, I blew out all the candles. Lost in great excitement, we even forgot the time so that not until midnight did they leave the house.I am eighteen years old now, which means I’ve become an adult and have more responsibilities to bear. I’ll do my best in every way to return my parents’ love and live up to their expectations.听力原文:SECTION AConversation 1M: What are you going to do on Saturday evening?W: I’m going to hear John Denver.M: Who’s he?W: Haven’t you heard of him? He’s a very famous singer. He’s singing at the New Theater on Saturday.M: What kind of music does he sing?W: American country music. He writes most of his songs himself.M: Is he good?W: Of course he is. He’s very successful. He’s made lots of records. They broadcast a program of his music last month on the radio. Why don’t you come on Saturd ay? I think you’d enjoy it.M: That’s a good idea.W: You’d better hurry and buy a ticket then. It’ll be very popular.Conversation 2W: How was your first day at your new job, Jack?M: I was three minutes late and the manager got very angry. He shouted at me!W: He must be very strict.M: Yes, he certainly is. I had to work hard all day. I just sat at my desk and worked and worked ...W: What about lunch?M: I have only thirty minutes for lunch. I really wish I could have a few minutes to have a break during the day.W: Did you have to work late?M: No. All the employees left the office at 5 pm.W: That’s good. What do the other employees think of your manager?M: They say he’s strict with them. But if you work hard and do your work well, he’s very easy to get along with. He often invites them home to have dinner with his family.Conversation 3M: I’ve been noticing recently quite a lot of black smoke coming out of the chimneys of that factory near our school. It really pollutes the air here.W: Yes, it does. But I heard recently that the owners of the factory have promised to take measures to reduce their factory’s emissions.M: I sure hope they will keep their promise.W: I think they will. According to the factory owners, a special machine is supposed to be installed by the end of this year. It will clean the fine dust out of the smoke before it pours into the air.M: That’s good. Dust is really harmful to our lungs. I know that because my family lives near a steelworks with a chimney that constantly pours out black smoke.W: Oh, you live near the steelworks? Is it true that we shouldn’t eat the fish from the lake near the steelworks?M: Yes, that’s true — waste from the steelworks has polluted the lake.W: Why don’t the owners do anything to clean up the po llution?M: They always promise, but never act. A bit of action, that’s what we need.W: You’re right.Conversation 4W: Well, here we are. I’ll just open the door. Ah, here we go. Come on in, Mr. Smith.Isn’t it nice?M: Hmm. Where is the view? The advertisement says this place has a great view of the ocean.W: Oh, well, you ... now look ... if you stand right here and look between those two buildings over here ...M: Where? Oh, I can hardly see it at all!W: Oh, come on, I mean, think of all the good points.M: Like what?W: The pubic transportation right at the front door. It’s really convenient.M: But I don’t need public transportation. I have a car.W: Maybe you don’t need the car.M: I like the car.W: There is a shopping center just opposite the road.M: Yes, that’s a good point.W: And the swimming pool, and gym downstairs.M: I don’t have time for sports ... Now can we take a look at the place? I don’t have much time today.W: Sure. Here’s the main bedroom. Isn’t it lovely?M: But is it quiet?W: Oh, it’s very quiet. And here is the second bedroom.M: Hmm. It’s very small.W: Well, second bedrooms are never as big as the master suite ...M: But this is really too small. Well, I’ll have to think about it.Conversation 5W: I have started learning to play the guitar.M: Have you?W: Yeah. You know, I’ve always been interested in guitar. I’ve never had the time, and now I have finally retired. I have time to do things I am interested in, for example, playing the guitar and doing some sports.M: So you’ve bought a guitar?。

I went to the spot where I used to take my kids-when I still had kids. Now they had 36 and were leaving.I was sitting alone in my car when I saw a man in his seventies, whose problem appeared bigger than mine. He stood near the edge of the road, 37 a kite spindle(风筝线锭) in his hands. Apparently, lost in thought, he stared skyward. I 38 my neck to see how successful he had been in 39 the clouds. Following his string with my eyes, I almost lost 40 0f the other end. Finally, the kite rested on what seemed to be the highest branch of the 41 tree in the park. Obviously, that was his grandson's kite! The kite was a replica (复制品) of a beautiful bald eagle, and its wings spread 42 0pen. Grandpa had only one 43 to his problem: cut the string."You wanted it to fly as high as it could. Bill. didn't you?" "Yes, Grandpa, 44 wanted to keep it forever. " "There just comes a time when the only thing you can do is to cut the string and let it go. Perhaps by doing that, when it flies very high like real eagles do, it will come back to us. " Grandpa said.I 45 how the old man cut the string to let fly the kite. As the two walked away, looked to the 46 . There I saw my answer, too. Today I have to cut the final strings that kept my two boys 47 my reach. Though I want to keep them forever, I have taught them to fly like an eagle.

In fact, it's likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girl friend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never be intended to be seen the 21st century replacement of being caught naked. Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it's important to revealyourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter?For many Americans, the answer apparently is "no".When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it.A survey found a strong bad feeling about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me".But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZPass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will give away personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50centoff coupon (优惠券).But privacy does matter-at least sometimes. It's like health: When you have it, you don't notice it. Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it.56.What does the author mean by saying "the 21st century replacement of being caughtnaked"? ( )A. People's personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.B. In the 21st century people try every means to look into others' secrets.C. People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.D. Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.57. What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends? ( )A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.C. There should be a distance even between friends.D. There should be fewer arguments between friends.58.Why does the author say "we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret"? ( )A.Modern society has finally developed into an open society.B.People leave traces around when using modern technology.C.There are always people who are curious about others' affairs.D.Many search engines benefit from giving away people's identities.59.What do most Americans do as for privacy protection?A.They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.B.They use various loyalty cards for business transactions (交易).C.They rely more and more on electronic devices.D.They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.60.According to the passage, privacy is like health because ________.A. people will make every effort to keep itB. its importance is rarely understoodC. it is something that can easily be lostD. people don't treasure it until they lose itPart Ⅳ Writing (45 points)SECTION B (10 marks) Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit.As a young man, Al was a skilled artist, a potter. He had a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son developed a severe stomachache. Thinking it was only somecommon intestinal(肠的)disorder, neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously. But the disease was actually acute appendicitis (阑尾炎), and the boy died suddenly that night.Knowing the death could have been prevented if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, Al's emotional health declined under the enormous burden of his guilt. To make matters worse his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could handle, and he became an alcoholic.As the alcoholism progressed, Al began to lose everything he possessed — his home, his land, his art objects, everything. Eventually Al died alone in a San Francisco motel room.When I heard of Al's death, I thought, “What a complete failure!” “What a totally wasted life”.As time went by, I began to re-evaluate my earlier harsh judgment. You see, I knew Al's now adult son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring, most loving men I have ever known. I watched Ernie with his children and saw the free flow of love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.I hadn't heard Ernie talk much about his father. One day I worked up my courage to ask him. "I'm really puzzled by something," I said. "I know your father was basically the only one to raise you. What on earth did he do so that you became such a special person?"Ernie sat quietly and reflected for a few moments. Then he said, "From my earliest memories as a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, 'I love you, son.'"Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge Al as a failure. He had not left any material possessions behind, but he had been a kind loving father, and he left behind one of the finest, most giving man I have ever known.81. Why was Al in guilt?

My parents supported my interest, buying all sorts of books about Kung Fu and Chinese art for me. 50 even agreed I went to a Kung Fu school, 51 they did not let me shave my head. I practiced several hours a day, trying to overcome pain 52 walking to school barefoot in the snow. I enjoyed all of this so 53 that my interest continued through high school, and spread to wanting to learn Chinese painting and then 54 language itself.I went to Yale and majored in Chinese literature. By the time I finished college,I was fluent in Mandarin (普通话). Strangely, I had no desire to go to China; and55 , I have never liked traveling much. I did need a job, though, so I applied to and was accepted by the Yale-China association to teach English in Changsha from August 1982 to July 1984.PART Ⅲ READI NG COMPREHENTION (30 marks)Directions: Read the following three passages.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.(A)I have always known my kids use digital communications equipment a lot. But my cellphone bill last month really grabbed my attention. My son had come up to nearly 2,000 incoming text messages, and had sent nearly as many. Of course, he was out of school for the summer and communicating more with friends from a distance.Nevertheless, he found time to keep a summer job and complete a college course in between all that typing with thumb.I was even more surprised to learn that my son is normal. "Teenagers with cellphones each send and receive 2,272 text messages a month on average, " Nielsen Mobile said.Some experts regret that all that keyboard jabber(键盘闲聊) is making our kids stupid, unable to read non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, gestures, posture and other silent signals of mood and attitude. Unlike phones, text messaging doesn't even allow transmission of tone of voice or pauses, says Mark Bauerlein, author called The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future.Beyond that, though, I'm not sure I see as much harm as critics of this trend. I' ve posted before on how I initially tried to control my kids' texting. But over time, I have seen my son suffer no apparent ill effects, and he gains a big benefit, continuing contact with others.I don't think texting make kids stupid. It may make them annoying, when they try to text and talk to you at the same time. And it may make them distracted. when buzzing text message interrupt efforts to noodle out a math problem or finish reading for school.But I don't see texting harming teens' ability to communicate. My son is as accustomed to nonverbal cues as any older members of our family. I have found him more engaged and easier to communicate with from a great distance. Because he is constantly available by means of text message and responds with faithfulness and speed.56. What is Mark Bauerlein’s attitude to texting?A. It is convenient for teens to communicate with others.B. It is likely to cause trouble in understanding each other.C. It is convenient for teens to text and call at the same time.D. It will cause damage to the development of teens' intelligence.57. What would be the best title for this passage?A. For Teens, Texting Instead of TalkingB. For Parents, Caring Much for Their KidsC. Disadvantages of TextingD. The Effect of Communication58. What does the underlined word "distracted" in the fifth paragraph mean?A. Confused.B. Absent-minded.C. Comfortable.D. Bad-tempered.59. The author's attitude to texting is ___________ .A. objectiveB. opposedC. supportiveD. doubtful60. According to the passage, which of the statements is NOT true?A. It is normal for a teen to send or receive 60 text messages per day.B. Texting is a very popular way of communication among teens.C. The writer limited his son to send or receive messages at first.D. When texting, teens don't mind talki ng with you.(B)People in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver. Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida, Nevada and California. They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road. The high-tech company Google has a number of self-driving cars, which had covered 480,000 kilometers by August. Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020.In September, California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state. “ Today we're looking at science fi ction becoming tomorrow's reality-the driverless car. ”The technology for these cars includes cameras, radar and motion sensors. The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U. S. government agency DARPA. Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races.Cars have become much more fuel-efficient, and new electronic features are making Hondas safer, said Angie Nucci of Honda America. “ A camera on the passenger-side mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes. ” Other safety features include warning systems on the front and the sides of the cars. The systems help drivers, but don't replace them. Curator Leslie Kendall of the Petersen Automotive Museum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer.“By taking out drivers, you also remove most risks of an accident,” Kendall said. He said consumers, however, may be unwilling to lose control. “It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable, but it will have to prove itself first. ”Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable. He said this will happen as the technology is improved.61. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. Driverless vehicles are now legal in the whole USA.B. Volvo will be the first to sell driverless cars.C. Google’s self-dr iving cars have covered a long distance.D. Driverless cars are pointing us a faraway future.62. We learn that Governor of California Jerry Brown_________.A. helped design self-driving cars.B. improved the self-driving car systems.C. considers self-driving cars science fiction.D. supports self-driving cars on roads.63. What is the role of the systems mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. They can take the place of drivers now.B. They can help people drive more safely.C. They can make cars run without fuel.D. They can help cars run much faster.64. According to Richard Mason, what is the biggest challenge for driverless cars?A. They are now too expensive for consumers.B. Their technical problems remain to be solved.C. They are not allowed to run on the road.D. They are more dangerous for people on the street.65. What's the best title of the passage?A. The benefits of the self-driving cars.B. The biggest challenge of the self-driving cars.C. Self-driving cars-science fiction future is near.D. Safer or more dangerous-self-driving cars.(C)Hungry For a WinA victor is, by definition, someone who wins a struggle or contest. However, that doesn’t mean he or she will live a proud and happy life ever after, as Katniss Everdeen is about to discover in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.Catching Fire, out in Chinese theaters on Nov 21, is set in a futuristic society called Panem. Every year its government holds a televised fight to the death. Two teenagers from each of the 12 districts of Panem are chosen to compete.In the new film, last year’s victors Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and her partner Peeta are back home after winning the 74th Hunger Games. Katniss just wants to live a normal life. However, that never seems to happen. She has nightmares, which remind her that she is a killer.Her worst nightmare comes true when the annual Hunger Games arrive again. The teenager finds herself back in the competition along with Peeta. Since Katniss brings hope to Panem thro ugh her courage, President Snow plans to use this year’s Games to kill off Katniss and Peeta and in turn dampen the fires of rebellion.“This is the next step of Katniss’ heroism and the next part of her journey to finding out who she is really going to b e,” Lawrence told Reuters.Fast-paced and full of action, Catching Fire looks to outdo the success thatthe first film had in 2012. With a 97 percent rating on the movie review website Rotten Tomatoes, it is enjoying positive reviews. Critics have praised it for being faithful to the book written by American author Suzanne Collins. The Hollywood Reporter said that Catching Fire outshines the first movie a lot.Jennifer Lawrence, who won a best actress Oscar this year for her 2012 movieSilver Linings Playbook, has helped Catching Fire find success, Forbes pointed out.The 23-year-old actress does well playing a young lady who hates what she was forcedto do to stay alive yet is determined not to gi ve up.“Lawrence’s down-to-earth personality in real life won the hearts of the public. So given a wildly popular first film that blew everyone away, a rising fanbase and a lead performer beloved by the mainstream press and viewers, the sequel(续集) was always going to be big,” Forbes noted.66. The underlined word “dampen” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “_____”.A. holdB. lightC. reduceD. support67. Which of the following is TRUE about the film’s story according to the article?A. Every year 12 teenagers in total are chose n to join in the televised fight.B. Despite having won the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss doesn’t feel much joy.C.

It has many famous stars in addition to Jennifer Lawrence.A. abcB. abdC. acdD. bcd69. In which column of a newspaper can readers find this article?A. Beautiful MindB. Campus TrendsC. Culture DiscoveryD. Society70. After reading the passage, we can infer that _______.A. President Snow thinks highly of Katniss and Peeta’s victoryB. Katniss decides to fight in the 75th Hunger Games because she loves itC. Critics hold a negative attitude to the first movie of Hunger GamesD. The personality of the leading actress contributes to the success of CatchingFirePART Ⅳ WRITING (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blankets by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Cheating on exams is popular in colleges and statistics show that it has risen dramatically during the past score years. Students don’t feel ashamed to cheat on exams. Most of them don’t care about cheating on exams.Cheating on exams takes shape in various ways. Some students scribbled notes on small pieces of paper on which they had prepared for the exam, some took out their textbooks or reference books to copy, and still some adopted mobile phones as a way to cheat on exams. For instance, at the University of Nevada, students photographed test questions with their cell phone cameras, then sent them to classmates outside the exam room and got the answers back in text message. However, downloading other people’s writing on the Internet for plagiarism(剽窃) was found the easiest way. Mr. Dapremont said technology had made cheating easier, but added that pressure to succeed sometimes clouded everything and made students do things that they shouldn’t do. Students today feel more pressure to do well in order to graduate from school and land jobs.Whatever the reasons for cheating are, college officials say we must stop it. First, people will not be interested in studying any more with cheating. Second, they think studying isn’t meaningful. Third, others may be influenced negatively by people cheating on exams. Thus, we must ban cheating on exams. We should reduce opportunity of cheating on exams.Most Americans still believe that honesty is an important part of American character. For that reason, there are numerous watchdog committees at all levels of society. Although signs of dishonesty in school, business, and government seem much more numerous in recent years than in the past, could it be that we are getting better at uncovering such dishonesty?Many educators feel that as students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, they are less likely to cheat.Title: Cheating on examsI. 71. __________◇being popular in colleges◇arising dramatically◇students 72. __________◇students not caring about itII.

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.We lived in a very quiet neighborhood. One evening I heard a loud crash in the street. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenager daughter Holly practice her driving.At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I enjoyed having it, but I said, “Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won’t last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won’t last.”After hearing the loud noise, the whole family ra n outside. My son shouted, “Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck.”My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice in my heart say, “Here is a chance to show H olly what you really love. She’ll never forget it.”The accident had occurred in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van (搬运车). In her inexperience, she had confused the brakes and the gas pedal. Holly was unhurt physically, but when I reached her, she was crying and saying, “Oh, Dad, I’m sorry. I know how much you love this truck.” I held her in my arms as she cried.Later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck.I told her the story. Her eyes moistened(湿润) and she said, “That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad’s car and ran into a log that had fallen across the road. I ruined the car. When I got home my Dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me.” Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of that night. It was a deep wound on her soul.I remember how sad Holly was the night and how I comforted her. One day, whenHolly thinks back on her life, I want her to know that I love her a thousand timesmore than any piece of property. I repaired the van, but the dent (凹痕) in my truckis still there today. Every day it reminds me of what really matters in my life.81. Why did the father permit his daughter to drive his truck?(No more than 5 words) (2 marks)82.

And if you are a woman, it’s even worse.Many young people get married simply to get other people off their backs (免受别人的指责) . This is a serious compromise. One ends up not marrying the ideal partner.There are, however, a few young people who refuse to compromise if they can’t find a good marriage partner, they say, they would rather not marry at all.34-year-old Kate is a university lecturer in English. She said she would not describe herself as celibatarian (独身主义者) but simply a woman who hasn’t come across the right man yet. She has sharp comments for the way in which the old generation looks at marriage.“Many people think marriage is a du ty---to your parents, family and society. Nobody cares if your marriage is happy or not, she said, I think this is very wrong and I intend to live and act according to my own will.”Happily for her, her parents are open-minded and not lay stress on her. But the same does not apply to her friends. They are constantly trying to get her together with some young man or another. She always refuses politely.61. The main idea of this passage is that _________.A. marriage is a duty to societyB. people should get married before 30 years oldC. late marriage should be respectedD. women should get married earlier than men62. Miss Kate refuses to get together with some young man or another because __________.A. she doesn’t think he is the right man she wantsB. he is either too old or too youngC. he is either important or little learnedD. he doesn’t have good manners63. In the first paragraph the underlined words “in for” refer to _________.A. interested inB. satisfied withC. worried aboutD. likely to suffer64. Which is NOT TRUE according to this passage?A. In China, one may face social blame and family pressure if one hasn’t got married by 30.B. Miss Kate’s parents are always worried about her marriage.C. Miss Kate won’t compromise if she can’t have her ideal marriage.D. Miss Kate wants to marry a worthy young man.65. If marriage is regarded as a duty to society, __________.A. everybody will be happy and satisfiedB. nobody will pay attention to whether you are happy or not in your family lifeC. you can easily find an ideal partnerD. young people will have nothing to worry about in marriageCIn the Caucasus (高加索) region of Russia, nearly 50 out of every 100,000 people live to celebrate their 100th b irthday, and many don’t stop at 100! By comparison, in America only 3 people in 100,000 reach 100. But these Russian old people aren’t alone. The Pakistani s, who live high in the Himalaya Mountains, and the Ecuadorans (厄瓜多尔人) of the Andes Mountains seem to share the secret of long life, too.These people remain healthy in body and spirit despite the passage of time. While many older persons in industrial societies become weak and ill in their 60s and 70s, some Caucasians aged 100 to 140, work in the fields beside their great-great-grandchildren. Even the idea of aging is foreign to them. When asked “at what age does youth end?”most of these old people had no answer. Several replied, “Well, perhaps at age 80.”What accounts for (解释) this ability to survive to such old age, and to survive so well? First of all, hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long-living people. They begin their long days of physical labor as children and never seem to stop. For example, Mr. Rustam Mamedov is 142 years of age. His wife is 116 years old. They have been married for 90 years. Mr. Mamedov has no intention of retiring from his life as a farmer. “Why? What else would I do?” he asks. All these people get healthful rewards from the environment in which they work. They all come from mountainous regions. They live and work at elevations (海拔) of 1,660 to 1,000 meters above sea level. The air has less oxygen and is pollution-free. This reduced-oxygen environment makes the heart and blood vessel (血管) system stronger.Another factor that may contribute to the good health of these people is their isolation. To a great extent(程度), they are separated from the pressures and worries of industrial society. Inherited(遗传)factors also play some role. Most of the longest-living people had parents and grandparents who also reached very old ages. Good family genes may, therefore, be one factor in living longer.66. The example of Mr. and Mrs. Mamedov implies that some Caucasians aged 100 to140 _________.A. become weak and hopelessB. benefit from physical workC. are too old to work in the fieldsD. are still working in the fields67. What is the main way of life for all of these long-living people?A. Retiring from their lives as farmers.B. Having been married for 90 years.C. Hard physical work.D. Having no intentions.68. Which of the following factors is NOT helpful to people’s health and long life?A. Clean mountain air.B. Daily hard work.C. Good genesD. Stress and pressure.69. What does the underlined word “isolation” mean?A. the state of being separatedB. pressureC. lack of physical labourD. worry70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Russian people live longer than AmericansB. People in the city live longer than those in the countryC. The reason why mountainous people live longerD. Pressures and worries contribute to long lifePart Ⅳ Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Food makes us feel good, but some people eat when they aren’t really hungry and eat to simply feel good. This kind of eating habit is called emotional eating, which does not affect adults but also young children. It isn’t a good thing.A child’s eating habits can develop right from childhood. As we know, a baby cries out if he doesn’t get milk at the usual time of the day. However, sometimes parents immediately stick a bottle in a child’s mouth without trying to find out if the child is really hungry. In fact, children may cry for other reasons. Even as children grow up and start going to school, parents sometimes give them a chocolate bar if they become really unhappy. As the children further grow up, they may become used to having a snack whenever they’re upset or low.Therefore, they’d like to eat an emotional snack when they have the feeling of unhappiness and boredom. Even when they don’t get high grades, aren’t popular at school or made fun of by others, they will want something to eat. After having the snack, they feel a lot better.Emotional eating in young children is a thing that needs to be taken seriously. To protect your children from emotional eating, you should satisfy your child’s emotional needs in the best possible way. This includes spending time with your child every day, taking an interest in his school work, helping your child study, providing a health environment without tension at home, etc. Don’t make the child lose face by scolding him. Develop confidence in your child. Make your child eat enough once in a while. Reward him for his achievements.All this will help your little one develop a healthy eating habit. And always remember love and care is the key to help you child out of trouble and grow up happily.Section B (10 marks)Directions Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Complaints should be made to a responsible person. Go back the the shop where you bought the goods, taking with you any receipt you may have. Ask to see the buyer in a larger store. In a small store the assistant may also be the owner so you can complain directly. In a chain store, ask to see the manager.Even the bravest person finds it difficult to complain face to face, so if you do not want to do it in person, write a letter. Stick to the facts and keep a copy of what you write. At this stage you should give any receipt numbers, but you should not need to give receipts or other papers to prove you bought the article. If you are not satisfied with the answer you get, or if you do not get a reply, write to the managing director of the firm, shop, or organization. Be sure to keep copies of your own letters and any you receive.If your complaint is a just one, the shopkeeper may offer to replace or repair the faulty article. You may find this an attractive solution. In certain cases you may have the right to refuse the goods and ask for your money back, but this is only where you have hardly used the goods and have acted at once. Even when you cannot refuse the goods you may be able to get some money back as well. And if you have suffered some special loss, if for example a new washing machine tears your clothes, you might receive money to replace them. If the shopkeeper offers you a credit note to be used to buy goods in the same shops but you would rather have money, say no. If you accept a credit note remember that later you will not be able to ask for your money. If the shopkeeper refuses to give you, ask for advice from your Citizens’Advice Bureau before you accept a credit note. In some cases the shopkeeper does not have to give you your money back---if, for example, he changes an article simply because you don’t like it or it does not fit. He does not have to take back the goods in these circumstances.81.When making a complaint, what had better you take with to see the person in charge?(No more than 8 words) (2 marks)__________________________________________________________________.82.What are you advised to do if you are embarrassed to make a face-to-face complaint? (No more than 5 words) (2 marks)__________________________________________________________________.83.If you have not used the goods you make the complaint about, what are you likely to do?(No more than 14 words) (3 marks)__________________________________________________________________.84. In what circumstance will you not get your money back? (No more than 7 words) (3 marks)__________________________________________________________________.Section C (25 marks)Directions Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.“如果你想强壮,你就跑步吧;如果你想健美,你就跑步吧;如果你想聪明,你就跑步吧。

I went to the spot where I used to take my kids-when I still had kids. Now they had 36 and were leaving.I was sitting alone in my car when I saw a man in his seventies, whose problem appeared bigger than mine. He stood near the edge of the road, 37 a kite spindle(风筝线锭) in hishands. Apparently, lost in thought, he stared skyward. I 38 my neck to see how successful he had been in 39 the clouds. Following his string with my eyes, I almost lost 40 0f the other end. Finally, the kite rested on what seemed to be the highest branch of the 41 tree in the park. Obviously, that was his grandson's kite! The kite was a replica (复制品) of a beautiful bald eagle, and its wings spread 42 0pen. Grandpa had only one 43 to his problem: cut the string."You wanted it to fly as high as it could. Bill. didn't you?" "Yes, Grandpa, 44 wanted to keep it forever. " "There just comes a time when the only thing you can do is to cut the string and let it go. Perhaps by doing that, when it flies very high like real eagles do, it will come back to us. " Grandpa said.I 45 how the old man cut the string to let fly the kite. As the two walked away, looked to the 46 . There I saw my answer, too. Today I have to cut the final strings that kept my two boys 47 my reach. Though I want to keep them forever, I have taught them to fly like an eagle.

Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girl friend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never be intended to be seen the 21st century replacement of being caught naked. Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it's important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter?For many Americans, the answer apparently is "no".When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it.A survey found a strong bad feeling about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me".But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZPass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will give away personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50centoff coupon (优惠券).But privacy does matter-at least sometimes. It's like health: When you have it, you don't notice it. Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it.56.What does the author mean by saying "the 21st century replacement of being caught naked"?( )A. People's personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.B. In the 21st century people try every means to look into others' secrets.C. People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.D. Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.57. What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends? ( )A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.C. There should be a distance even between friends.D. There should be fewer arguments between friends.58.Why does the author say "we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret"? ( ) A.Modern society has finally developed into an open society.B.People leave traces around when using modern technology.C.There are always people who are curious about others' affairs.D.Many search engines benefit from giving away people's identities.59.What do most Americans do as for privacy protection?A.They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.B.They use various loyalty cards for business transactions (交易).C.They rely more and more on electronic devices.D.They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.60.According to the passage, privacy is like health because ________.A. people will make every effort to keep itB. its importance is rarely understoodC. it is something that can easily be lostD. people don't treasure it until they lose itPart Ⅳ Writing (45 points)SECTION B (10 marks) Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit.As a young man, Al was a skilled artist, a potter. He had a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son developed a severe stomachache. Thinking it was only some common intestinal(肠的)disorder, neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously. But the disease was actually acute appendicitis (阑尾炎), and the boy died suddenly that night.Knowing the death could have been prevented if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, Al's emotional health declined under the enormous burden of his guilt. To make matters worse his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could handle, and he became an alcoholic.As the alcoholism progressed, Al began to lose everything he possessed — his home, his land, his art objects, everything. Eventually Al died alone in a San Francisco motel room.When I heard of Al's death, I thought, “What a complete failure!” “What a totally wasted life”.As time went by, I began to re-evaluate my earlier harsh judgment. You see, I knew Al's now adult son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring, most loving men I have ever known. Iwatched Ernie with his children and saw the free flow of love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.I hadn't heard Ernie talk much about his father. One day I worked up my courage to ask him. "I'm really puzzled by something," I said. "I know your father was basically the only one to raise you. What on earth did he do so that you became such a special person?"Ernie sat quietly and reflected for a few moments. Then he said, "From my earliest memories as a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, 'I love you, son.'"Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge Al as a failure.

湖南省湘阴县第一中学高三英语上学期第一次周考试题

选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you’re looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, pickup the phone. Not being able to see the other person and the body language can make the chatting difficult. 36 Here are some tips to guide you throughan average phone conversation in English.1. GreetingsEvery phone call should begin with a polite greeting such as “Hi, how’ve you been?” or “Nice to hear from you”. Even if you’re calling a business contactfor a specific purpose, it’d be rude to jump right into business. 372. Getting to the pointThere always comes the point where you want to move on from friendly chatting and get down to business. What should you do in this situation? 38 However,if you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversationby saying “So what can I do for you?”3. Interrupting without offenceSometimes you may happen to be speaking with a very talkative person. 39 Keep in mind when you’d like to interrupt, be sure to do it politely. For example, begin with “I’d like to say something here”.4. Closing the callThis can be the trickiest part of the conversation! It may be the time to offer good wishes such as good luck on that interview or hope you feel better soon if it’s appropriate. 40 Sometimes it’s easiest to just say you enjoyed speakingto the other person. Also remember cleverly saying the word well at the beginningof a sen tence can indicate you’re ready to end the conversation.A. So it may be difficult to get a word in.B. Practice English through phone calls.C. Never fear, though!D. Use the phrase “I’m just calling to...” to change to the topic at hand.E. Additionally, you may want to confirm any plans you’ve made.F. You should make a little small talk at the beginning.G. You’d better greet him or her in a friendly way.二.完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分, 满分30分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

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.(A)LATEST BOOKSBelow you’ll find some latest published books that have been added to the library’s collection in the past 45 days.She Is Not InvisibleSergwick’s “She Is Not Invisible” is partly a thriller, partly a philosophical reflection on coincidence, but mostly, it’s the story of Laureth: a blind British teenager w hose father, a famous author, has gone missing in America. She sets out to find him, taking her seven-year-old brother as a guide. She is not sure this is strictly legal, so she pretends not to be blind as they make their way through Heathrow airport and the streets of New York City.Six Bad Poets“Six Bad Poets” is a farce-in-verse(闹剧式诗句) by Christopher Reid, following the brave acts and misfortunes of a group of poets –three men and three women, whose destinies(命运) are more closely connected than they themselves can know, in their attempts to deal with the risks of London literary society.Britain Against NapoleonThis book describes how the British state successfully organized itself to overcome Napoleon. For more than twenty years after 1793, the French army was supreme(最优的) in continental Europe, and the British population lived in fear of French invasion(人侵). How did Britain survive and win a generation-long war against a country which at its peak commanded many times Britain’s own resources and manpower?In “Britain Against Napoleon”, Roger K night looks beyond the familiar bravery of the army and navy to the politicians and civil servants, and examines how they made it possible to continue the war.The Beau MondeHannah Greig’s “The Beau Monde” tells the story of the world’s first fashion-obsessed(痴迷于时尚的) society in eighteenth-century London and takes us on a tour from court and Parliament (约会) to Georgian London’s parks, pleasure grounds and private homes, meeting a rich and colorful cast of contemporary characters along the way. It reveals the secrets of how membership of the new elite(精英) was won, maintained and sometimes lost. This book also shows how being fashionable was the key to power in a new social order.56. According to the passage, Laureth______A. is a famous writerB. is a blind young girlC. has been lost in New YorkD. has raised her little brother by herself57. Who writes a book about six poets?A. Christopher Reid.B. Hannah Greig.C. Roger Knight.D. Sedgwick.58. The book “Britain Against Napoleon” focuses on_______A. how the British defeated NapoleonB. how Napoleon occupied the UKC. the contribution of politiciansD. the influence of war59. If you are interested in the history of fashion, you should read______.A. “She Is Not Invisible”B. “Six Bad Poets”C “Britain Against Napoleon” D. “The Beau Monde”60. The main purpose of passage is to______.A. compare the booksB. inform readers of new booksC. advocate diverse readingD. persuade people to read more(B)When my friend put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the first reaction they gave was, “You are cutting the child off the world.” Did the child really get cut off or did the ch ild socialize better?The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers(同龄人). However, in my friend’s opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is restricted to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child’s life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compares with my kids. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the traditional schooling system and feel regularschooling the safest bet.61. What is the author’s attitude towards his friend’s idea of homeschooling?A. Surprised.B. Interested.C. Confident.D. Negative.62. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to _________.A. express his views on homeschooling.B. explain what homeschooling is.C. share his ways of teaching his children.D. promote homeschooling.63. What do we know about homeschooling children?A. They don’t interact with their peers often.B. They have more spare time to play.C. They are restricted to certain activities.D. They can’t gain enough knowledge.64. According to the author what is the biggest advantage of homeschooling children?A. They will become braver.B. They can be more popular.C. They can be better at socializing.D. They can study better.65. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By following the order of importance.B. By following the order of timeC. By making comparison.D. By presenting facts.(C)Feeling lonely? New research suggests you might want to find out that answer. Not only is loneliness an unpleasant condition, it can also harm the body’s immune system.The new study shows that people who are lonely experience more reactivation(重新激活) of hidden viruses in their systems than the well-connected ones. Lonely people also are more likely than others to produce inflammatory compounds(炎性化合物) in response to stress, which may cause heart disease and other chronic disorders. “Both, in different ways, indicate that the immune system is out of whack,” said study researcher Lisa Jaremka.Jaremka and her colleagues studied 200 female breast cancer survivors and 134 overweight, middle-aged adults with no major health problems.In the first study, the researchers analyzed the blood of the breast cancer survivors for antibodies against viruses. These common viruses can remain inactive and symptomless inside the body. Higher antibody levels indicate higher levels of activated viruses. The results showed that the lonelier the participant, the higher the levels of virus antibodies in the blood. Jaremka said, “The immune sy stem is unable at that time, for whatever reason, in this case loneliness perhaps, to keep that virus under control.In the second study, the researchers measured cytokines(炎性因子) in 144 of the breast cancer survivors as well as the healthy thought overweight middle-aged adults. The participants gave a blood sample and then experienced the stress of having to give a speech and do mentalmath in front of people in white lab coats.After the stressful speech, the lonelier the person is, the higher the levels of cytokine interleuking-6 are. This cytokine is important for healing in the short term, because it promotes inflammation. However, when cytokines react too readily, inflammation can be harmful. Chronic inflammation has been linked to many diseases.People who are lonely also tend to react more strongly to negative events in their lives. If lonely people experience daily life as more stressful, it may cause chronic stress, which in turn disrupts the immune system.The study indicates that those who feel close to friends and family can know that their health is likely getting benefits from those relationships. People who feel socially connected are experiencing positive outcomes.66. The Underlined phrases “is out of whack” in Paragraph 2 can be re placed by_____.A. becomes healthyB. goes wrongC. starts to respondD. lose connection67. What do the high levels of antibodies indicate?A. The immune system is failing to control the viruses.B. The immune system has managed to kill the viruses.C. The person has been badly ill.D. The immune system has been damaged.68. Why should frequent reaction of cytokines be avoided?A. Because it would make people more stressed.B. Because it can destroy the immune system completely.C. Because it may cause harmful chronic inflammation.D. Because it would make breast cancer survivors overweight.69. According to the passage, lonely people are more likely to _____.A. have had more negative experiencesB. become more sensitive to negative events.C. feel more pressure from chronic diseases.D. react strongly to positive daily life.70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Loneliness has its advantages and disadvantages.B. Lonely people tend to have negative thoughts.C. Loneliness does harm to health both mentally and physically.D. People whose immune system is weak tend to get lonely.PART ⅣWRITING (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blankets by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Most people with problems see their problem as limitations to their success. The moment youbegin to see your problems as stumbling blocks (绊脚石), you start to have more problems. But the way you see your problems determines how they affect you. If you see your problems as the walls that cannot be broken down, then problems will affect you more than they are supposed to. But if you see your problems as opportunities, then you will be able to solve them and get the message that the problems are passing across to you.The greatest men always remain calm when they face problems. When they face problems, they remain positive. Staying positive is one of the keys to solving your problems. When used well it could help get you out of difficulty. When you remain positive, you put yourself in the right position to solve your problems effectively.Problems act as a good teacher and give you something new to learn, and with every lesson comes a solution. You must learn from the problem itself and look for the way forward instead of complaining, worrying and giving excuses. Every problem is just like an examination. Once you solve the problem, you get to the next level.Not everybody is fit to share your problems with you, and not everybody is fit to know your problems. But you should have someone you can speak to and someone who is always willing to listen to you. You must be able to be accountable to this person and the person must be someone that is better and know much more than you. This person would be able to give you meaningful advice, monitor your progress and also support you.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Nong Luhuan had a wild dream when he was little: He wanted to become a cartoonist and publish books of his own. Now, the 22-year-old art design major at Sichuan Fine Art Institute has achieved his dream. His micro blog cartoon has more than 260,000 followers and he will publish his first book soon.Nong’s micro blog cartoon first drew wide attention in late 2012. H e draws stories of real-life people striving to (努力) achieve their life goals. Though each story consists of only several pictures, it takes Nong a lot of time and effort to finish them. “ I want my work to be recognizable.I want people to think of me as a cartoonist who makes cheerful works,” Nong says. Therefore he digs deep into each person’s story. Before drawing, he spends a whole day researching the person’s background and another three days on interviews. “Micro blog cartoons are interesting not bec ause of the drawings. We attract viewers with the content,” Nong says. “Besides, viewers only spend one or two minutes on each micro blog post. If my work can cause reflection, then it is meaningful.”On the way to success, Nong had his struggles. He even thought about giving up drawing in 2011. But when he read the micro blog cartoons of Chen Anni, a well-known female cartoonist of Nong’s age, he found new courage. “She is not even a fine art student and she is pursuing (追求) her dream of drawing cartoons. Why should I give up?” Nong says. After that, Nong worked even harder, gradually becoming popular and receiving positive feedback.Many fans have sent Nong private messages, telling him that his work has encouraged them to pursue their life goals and that if they succeed they will share their stories with him. “I’m glad that I have conveyed a positive attitude through my work. My readers are motivated through it and are themselves becoming a source of motivation for others,” he says.81.What does Nong draw in his micro blog cartoons?

I was about 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code(编码)for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some of the BASIC code. I just gave myself an infinite number of lives in the game, so I could continue playing it forever. This was also my first introduction to algebra, and I didn't even know it at the time. This was a decisive moment in my life. I was quiteexcited because of what I was learning and what I was able to do. As a result, I was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them too.I've noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. It may also lead to success, wealth, and achievements.Success, wealth, or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. I know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing. I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too long. Please remember, happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.56. What can we know from Paragraph 1?A. The author has a great talent for algebra.B.

As a result, they are turning to clotheslines as part of the “what-I –can do environmentalism.”On the other side are people who are against drying clothes outside, arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant to look at. They have persuaded Home Owners Associations (HOAs) access the U.S. to ban outdoor clotheslines, because clothesline drying also tends to lower home value in the neighborhood. This had led to a Right-to-Dry Movement that is calling for laws to be passed to protect people’s right to use clotheslines.So far, only three states have laws to protect clothes lines. Right-to-Dry supporters argue that there should be move.Matt Reck, 37, is the kind of eco-conscious person who feeds his trees with bathwater and reuses water drops from his air conditioners to water plants. His family also uses a clothesline. But on July 9, 2007, the HOA in Wake Forest, North Carolina, told him that a dissatisfied neighbor had telephoned them about him clothesline. The Recks paid no attention to the warning and still dried their clothes on a line in the yard. “Many people say they are environmentally friendly but they don’t take matters in their own hands,” says Reck. The local HOA has decided not to take any action, unless more neighbors come to them.North Carolina lawmakers are saying that banning clotheslines is not the right thing to do. But HOAs and housing businesses believe that clothesline drying reminds people of poor neighborhoods. They worry that if buyers think their future neighbors can’t even afford dryers, housing prices will fall.Environmentalists say such worries are not necessary, and in view of global warming, that idea needs to change. As they say, “The clothesline is beautiful. Hanging clothes outside should be encouraged.
