That dog has just heard a sound that is too high-pitched (声调高的) for you to hear. The Science of SoundObjects that are vibrating (振动) ,moving back and forth quickly, make sounds. Rhythmic sound vibrations produce sound waves. Sound waves travel in every direction. The frequency of a sound is the number of waves that pass a given point each second. The more rapidly an object vibrates, the greater the frequency of sound it makes. Frequency is measured in hertz. One hertz equals one sound wave per second.The frequency of sound determines the degree of highness or lowness of the sound. A highpitched sound has a higher frequency than a low-pitched sound. Humans hear sounds that have frequencies from about 20 hertz to 20,000 hertz.Seeing with SoundSound with a frequency higher than 20,000 hertz is called ultrasound. In other words, ultrasound is too high-pitched for humans to hear. However, any animals can hear ultrasound. Bats can hear highersounds than any other animal. Some can hear up to 210,000 hertz. Bats send out lots of highpitched squeaks(吱吱叫声) and then listen to the echoes bouncing(弹跳) off things like insects. The shorter the time interval between the squeak and the echo, the closer they are to the insect. Using sound to find or "see" things is called echolocation.Dolphin SoundsAnother animal that uses ultrasound is the dolphin. Dolphins can hear sounds up to about 150,000 hertz. Dolphins use sound waves to find food underwater. They make clicking sounds that hit whatever is around them and then bounce back to the dolphins. Dolphins can send as many as 2,000 clicks per second. Dolphins' ultrasound ability is so sensitive that they can detect small fish from 10 feet(3m) away.Now what about that dog that heard a sound that you did not? The sound was his owner using an ultrasonic whistle to call him home. Because dogs can hear up to 50,000 hertz, the dog at the park will head home.1. To be able to hear ultrasound, you must be able to hear _______.A. less than 20 hertzB. exactly 20,000 hertzC. less than 20,000 hertzD. more than 20,000 hertz2. Which animal can hear the highest ultrasound according to the passage?A. A bat.B. A dog.C. A dolphin.D. A human.3. Which of the following statements is an example of echolocation?A. The bat caught the insect in midair and flew off to eat it.B. The dolphin make clicking sounds that bounced off the fish and back to it.C. The person heard an echo when he shouted into the valley.D. The dog heard his owner's ultrasonic whistle because he usedultrasound.5,After a few years, she became very (有技巧)at drawing.6,Pay attention to the (标点符号)of this sentence.7,--Tom, what would you like to eat, some beef?--Mom, anything ________ beef.

One enemy is treasure hunters who dive for ancient artifacts that they can sell to collectors.Once sold，these objects are lost to experts.The second enemy is dredging machines(挖掘机)often used to repair ports.These machines destroy wrecks and artifacts or bury them deeper under sand and mud.By teaching the public about the importance of underwater “museums” of the past，archaeologists are hoping to get support for laws to protect underwater treasures.36．What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the passage?A．To provide background information of the topic.B．To attract readers' attention to the topic.C．To use an example to support the topic.D．To offer basic knowledge of the topic.37．The aim of underwater archaeology is to ________.A．exploit water bodiesB．search for underwater lifeC．study underwater artifactsD．examine underwater environment38．Underwater archaeologists are worried because ________.A．sea hunters have better diving equipmentB．their knowledge of world history is limitedC．dredging machines cause damage to the portsD．sold artifacts can hardly be regained for research39．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To introduce a young branch of learning.B．To discuss the scientists' problems.C．To explain people's way of life in the past.D．To describe the sunken ships.40．Who are the two enemies that underwater archaeologists have to fight?A．Treasure hunters and warships.B．Treasure hunters and dredging machines.C．Fishermen and whales.D．Dredging machines and whales.BRemote medicine is an aspect of medical technology that has been steadily developing in recent times.Remote medicine can be defined as experts helping to treat patients i n remote areas by using highend telecommunication systems.Sometimes physicians have to perform surgery on patients using robotic arms through these highend telecommunication systems.Doctors in remote areas can purchase emergency medical supplies and first aid kits required for remote medicine treatment from popular online stores.Surgery has been performed successfully in many cases through remote medicine. Sometimes it is neither practical nor financially possible for the sick or injured to travel to developed nations for their medical treatment.Thanks to remote medicine，people in remote areas can get treatment from experts without having to travel.Although it is useful for patients across the globe，it could be difficult in certain cases to do due to problems with access，supplies and knowledge of local professionals.Doctors believe the biggest barrier is the difficulty in building a close relationship between doctors and patients because of the computermediated virtual communication.However，with lack of specialists in intensive care units in many rural areas across the globe，remote medicine provides a helping hand in monitoring and treating critical patients.Remote medical technology is only as good as the supplies on hand.Putting this technology into practice requires people in remote areas to have relevant emergency medical kits and emergency medical supplies to treat patients.Chinook Medical Gear is a very popular online store that offers a wide range of emergency medical supplies，medical kits，first aid kits，and containers that are specifically designed to be used in remote areas during emergency situations.This online store also ships emergency medical supplies that assistfield doctors to those remote areas.People involved in remote medical treatment can now be assured that they will receive wellstocked first aid kits as soon as possible from this online store.41．According to the passage，remote medicine refers to ________.A．medicine sent to patients living in remote areasB．treatment given to patients by doctorsC．emergency medical supplies and first aid kits bought from online stores D．treatment given to patients in remote areas through a highend telecommunication system42．Some people choose remote medicine mainly because ________A．they think they can get better serviceB．they live in remote small villagesC．they want to try a new method of treatmentD．they can't afford to or are unable to travel a long distance43．According to the doctors，the biggest difficulty of remote medicine is a lack of ________.A．enough emergency medical kitsB．specialists in intensive care unitsC．a close link between doctors and patientsD．knowledge of local professionals44．It is implied in Paragraph 3 that remote medicine ________.A．needs the help of relevant equipmentB．has been widely used across the globeC．is more important than specialistsD．doesn't help much in rural areas45．What's the last paragraph mainly about?A．The correct ways of using emergency medical supplies.B．The importance of relevant equipment in remote medicine.C．An introduction to how field doctors use medical supplies.D．A store that offers things used in remote medicine.CImagine living for a week in a little French cottage，buying fresh vegetables from the farmer's market every morning，sipping(小口泯)coffee，and taking day trips to neighboring villages.Sound appealing？That's the magic of slow travel，where theemphasis (重点)is less on sightseeing and more on taking in your surroundings at a relaxed pace.Slow travel is a branch of the slow food movement，which began in Italy in the 1980's as a protest(抗议)against the opening of a McDonald's in Rome.The slow food movement aims to preserve regional cooking，local farming，and traditional food preparation methods.This cultural idea has since developed into a whole way of life known as the Slow Movement，which emphasizes connection to food and families and，in the case of travel，connection to local people and cultures.Slow travel is not so much a particular mode of transportation as it is an attitude. Rather than attempting to put as many sights or cities as possible into each trip，the slow traveler takes time to explore each destination thoroughly and to experience the local culture. As Pauline Kenny says，“Slow travelers assume that they do not have to see everything on one trip，that there will be other trips.”The clearest advantage of slow travel is reflected in the general nature of your trip.Traveling more slowly allows you to form a stronger connection to the place you're visiting，and you'll feel much less rushed.Another less clear advantage of slow travel is that it's generally much easier on the environment than other types of travel.While airplanes have recently been considered as major contributors to global warming, trains are a much moreecofri endly choice－as are bikes and，of course，your own two feet!Slow travel is often kinder to your budget as well.Staying in one place for a week or more at a time reduces your transportation costs，and vacation rentals(度假出租屋) are often cheaper than hotels since they allow you to cook your own food instead of eating out for every meal.46．What do we know about slow travel?A．It mainly uses slow means of transportation.B．It encourages you to take time to enjoy your stay.C．It encourages a new and calm lifestyle.D．It is mainly connected with local food.47．Which of the following is NOT the original aim of the slow food movement?A．To preserve regional cooking.B．To preserve local farming.C．To preserve traditional food preparation methods.D．To emphasize the connection between food and family.48．From what Pauline said in Paragraph 3，we can infer that slow travelers ________.A．prefer to make friends with local peopleB．think it less important to know an area wellC．have something left to see on the next tripD．try to put as many sights as possible into one trip49．One of the advantages of slow travel shown in Paragraph 5 is that ________.A．it offers you an opportunity to exerciseB．it helps you make full use of your moneyC．it helps you see as many places as possibleD．it is environmentally friendly50．The purpose of this passage is ________.A．to introduce a way of travelB．to introduce a new way of lifeC．to compare different kinds of travelD．to show how traveling affects our lifeDThere are many scientists that study people who often lived hundreds or even thousands of years ago.We call them anthropologists.Items those primitive men，women，and children left behind when they died—everything from clothing to jewelry and tools—tell anthropologists a lot.And sometimes even their words survive.Experts believe that a discovery in Mexico is the oldest example of writing ever found in America.The people who created it probably lived 3,000 years ago，long before Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World.Workers digging in a rock mine happened to notice a stone block with marks carved onto its surface.They found the large piece of stone near the city of Cascajal，Mexico，which was once the capital of an ancient people called the Olmec.“There are signs on the block tha t seem to show objects used by the Olmec during their religious ceremonies，”says Dr Stephen Houston，of Brown University in the US.“There is a sign that looks very similar to a knife and another that looks like the chair of a King，”he explains.Houston，an expert on the writing systems of ancient cultures，says the discovery is exciting because “it makes clear that the Olmec could read and write.It is like hearing voices from the past.”But experts don't know exactly what the writing says.Finding other examples of Olmec writing could help decipher_the_puzzle.“We could have whole sets of ancient writing which will basically make ancient people speak to us directly，”says Houston.“There are many puzzles to be solved，and this is just one of them.”51．According to the passage，in order to learn more about the past，what items do scientists often use?A．Knives and chairs.B．Books and stones.C．People and animals.D．Clothing and jewelry.52．Why do we think the stone block mentioned in the passage is important?A．It allows scientists to translate the ancient language used in this area.B．It proves that people lived in this part of the world more than 3,000 years ago.C．It shows the people of the area had a written language.D．It is the evidence of the oldest form of writing ever found in America.53．Why are scientists interested in ancient languages?A．Because they can learn stories told during that time.B．Because they can speak directly with ancient people.C．Because it can allow them to understand ancient societies better.D．Because it will help learn about the origins of modern languages.54．Which of the following can replace the underlined expression in Paragraph 6?A．Find the meaning of the Olmec language.B．Discover when the Olmec people lived.C．Learn why the Olmec civilization disappeared.D．Learn how to speak Olmec.55．Which is probably the BEST title for the passage?A．New Language DiscoveredB．World's First BookC．Oldest Writing In The New WorldD．What Does It Say?Ⅳ.阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)(2013·山东高考)[1]Jean Paul Getty was born in 1892

"exclaimed several."It's cooked so well," said Wilson Goh. "Under the light, it's very pretty."Sponsored(赞助) by the Chinese American Etiquette Association, the event addressed the typical American holiday's traditions, which often baffle new immigrants."The great thing is that immigrants come and adopt these holidays and traditions and also change them," said Noah Pickus, a professor of ethics and public policy at Duke University who studies American identity. "That is part of how they become American, and it gives new energy to us."Jane Leu, director of Upwardly Global, a San Francisco organization that helps immigrant professionals rebuild their careers, sees special relevance for immigrants in Thanksgiving. "Most don't know that it is actually a celebration of getting through the first year in America and living to tell the tale," Leu said. "My sense is that you have to be in the U. S. for a long time before you feel that getting up at 7 a.m. on a day off to put in the turkey and bake up some pies has any meaning." Many immigrants do adopt the holiday after they arrive in the United States, but in their own ways.Cherie M. Querol Moreno, 52,of Daly City, will serve lumpia(spring rolls) and coconut and pineapple fruit salad this Thanksgiving to honor her native Philippines. And she'll serve succotash and corn to represent the contributions of Native Americans. Moreno says she used to serve turkey, but there's always too much. She will instead serve chicken this year."The spirit of the holiday lives in each wave of settlers that arrives and enriches this country with their culture and traditions , "said Moreno, who immigrated in 1980. "I didn't want to imitate the first Thanksgiving; I wanted to make the occasion meaningful to us."1. The Chinese American Etiquette Association is most probably an organization which _______.A. helps new immigrants from China to get to know about Americanculture and customsB. just teaches new immigrants from China to get to know about the holiday--ThanksgivingC. helps Chinese immigrant professionals rebuild their careersD. studies American identity2. From the passage, we can infer that ________.A. the two dozen Chinese immigrants took pictures excitedlyB. people usually get up late on a day offC. immigrants don't like to adopt American holidays and traditions.D. for many immigrants, Thanksgiving is actually a celebration of getting through the first year in America3. The underlined word "baffle" can be best replaced by _________.A. surpriseB. satisfyC. frightenD. puzzle4. From the text, we know that Moreno is among those immigrants who _________.A. don't like to serve turkey at Thanksgiving dinnerB. are celebrating Thanksgiving to get through the first year in AmericaC. adopt American holidays and traditions and also change themD. want to honor only their native Philippines by serving their favorite food10,After another glass of whisky I began to feel (眩晕)11,Your eyes are red. You had been crying12,There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have ever taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority(优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities(复杂性) of spelling.If spelling becomes the only focal(焦点的) point of his teacher's interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to "play safe". He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That's why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience. "This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is terrible." It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil's technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child's deep feelings. The teacherwas not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child's ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.1. Teacher are different in their opinions about ______.A. the difficulties in teaching spellingB. the role of spelling in general language developmentC. the complexities of the basic writing skillsD. the necessity of teaching spelling2. The underlined expression "play safe" probably means _________.A. to write carefullyB. to do as teachers sayC. to use dictionaries frequentlyD. to avoid using words one is not sure of3. Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ___________.A. students will be able to express their ideas more freelyB. students will have more confidence in writingC. teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakesD. students will learn to be independent of teachers4. The author seems to think that the teacher's judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is _________.A. unfairB. reasonableC. foolishD. careless5. The major point discussed in the passage is ________.A. the importance of developing writing skillsB. the complexities of spellingC. the correct way of marking compositionsD. the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition13,If only I can speak several foreign languages.14,B _______ is scientific study of plants and their structure. 15,Our monitor _________ you more help, even though he was verybusy.A. may giveB. may have givenC. might giveD. might have given答案1, assumed --- assuming2, B3, A4, B5, 1-5 ABCBA 6-10 BDCAD 11-15 CCBBA 16-20 BADDB6, C7, C8, 1. look ahead2.

Ⅳ.阅读理解A(2010·鄂州市高三摸底考试)“Around 500,000 years ago, at the Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian in Beij ing's suburban Fangshan district, which is about 50 km from the city of Beijing, there lived early human beings，” says a China history textbook.The textbook now has to be revised. New dating techniques suggest the remains of Peking Man—found in the 1920s—are over 200,000 years older than previously thought. What's important about that date, about 770,000 years ago, is that this was an ice age on Earth.Over Earth's long history, there have been a number of times when ice and snow covered a large part of its surface. Such periods are known as ice ages.Earth is in an ice age now. It started about 2 million years ago. Despite the many warm periods since then, scientists regard the whole time as one ice age because of the continuous existence of at least one large ice sheet—the one over Antarctica.The new discovery was made by Chinese and US scientists. It suggests Peking Man is probably our oldest cold weather human being, said Darryl Granger, an atmospheric scientist at Purdue University whose research appears in Thursday's edition of the journal Nature.The average yearly temperature at the time in that part of China was around the freezing mark, but it was too dry for an ice sheet, Granger said.This raises a question. How did Peking Man survive the cold weather?Rick Potts, a Smithsonian Institution human origins expert who wasn't involved in the research, raised three possibilities：First, fire. Early findings showed signs of a fire in Peking Man's cave. But there has been debate about whether the fire was accidental or controlled.Second, fur. There is no evidence that Peking Man used simple tools to make more formfitting clothes. It's more likely he wore animal fur.Lastly, he may have developed gradually to handle the cold. Peking Man may have experienced physiological changes that allowed more blood to flow to his hands and legs, Potts said. “People in general who live in colder climates tend to be shorter and wider，” he explained.Unlike the times of Peking Man, today the global temperature is rising due to the greenhouse effect. In the future, could humans develop to handle the warmth just as Peking Man did to fight the cold?文章大意：最新研究发现北京人的年代应该是处于冰河世纪，比我们原先的估计早二十万年。
