This section of the Employee Handbook will tell you how to organize videos.Each Main street Movies store has three main sections:1.New Releases Wall.2.Film library.3.Video Games.New Releases Wall. Almost 70 percent of movie rentals are new releases, and that is the first place where most customers go when they enter the store. The center section of shelves on this wall holds Hottest Hits. When new titles come into the store, place them on this wall in alphabetical order. The shelves beside Hottest Hits are called Recent Releases. The New Releases Wall, including the Hottest Hits and Recent Releases shelves, holds about 350 titles.Film Library. The thousands of titles in the Film Library are organized into categories. The films within each category are displayed alphabetically. Here are the categories and their two-letterwith foreign language subtitles. A sticker on the back of each box tells which type of film it is.Video Game. All the video games in Main street Movies are arranged in alphabetical order. Although video games represent only a small percentage of our inventory(库存), they are stolen more often than any other type of goods in our store. Therefore, video games are never displayed on the shelves. Shelves in the Video Game section hold cardboard with pictures and information about each game. When a customer wants to rent a particular game, you then find the game from the locked case behind the counter.56. Whom do you think this passage is most probably addressed to?A．The readers in the store.B．The manager of the store.C．The customers in the store.D．The salespersons of the store.57. In which order are the new movies moved in the store?A．From Hottest Hits to Film Library to Recent Releases.B．From Film Library to Hottest Hits to Recent Releases.C．From Recent Releases to Film Library to Hottest Hits.D．From Hottest Hits to Recent Releases to Film Library.58. Why can’t video games be seen on the shelves?A．Because they’ve been sold out.B．Because they’re in the storehouse.C．Because they’re in a locked case behind the counter.D．Because they represent a small percentage of the inventory.59. How can a customer find a film with foreign language subtitles?A. Check the computer.B. Look at the back of the box.C. Check the center section.D. Watch a few minutes of the film.Hearing VoicesWould you like to be an actor, but aren’t the right age or physical type for the part? Don’t give up: there may be a place for you in the world of voice-acting.Twenty-year-old Rickey Collins brings Tucker Foley to like in the cartoon Danny Phantom. In addition to many appearances on television and in movies, Rickey is a voice-over actor, someone we hear but don’t see. Rickey has acted since he was 6, both on and off camera. After school, his grandmother-a manager and acting coach-helped his develop his skills by doing voice exercises and reading aloud.V oice-over actors do many kinds of acting. They are the voices of cartoon characters on television, in movies and video games, and for communicating toys. In films, they replace the foreign language conversation with English version. They create crowd noises, make commercials, act in radio plays, and record telephone instructions and public announcements. They read books on tape and even record museum tours.Like other actors, voice-over actors need to understand scripts, interpret characters, and breathe correctly. They have to master voice techniques, such as pacing, volume, and range. Sometimes they use their normal voices; other times they change their voices to create different characters or noises. Rickey receives his Danny Phantom scripts only a few days before he tapes each episode(集). He rites helpful notes on the script to guide himself on speaking his part.Rickey practices, then tapes at the recording studio. He and the other cast members sit in a soundproof booth, acting out their characters as they read their lines into the microphones. “The cartoon gets created after we record the words, so we have to imagine everything in our mind,” days Rickey. Later, the recorded words, music, and sound effects are combined with the cartoon art to create the cartoon we enjoy on TV. Sound interesting? Maybe you can have a “voice” in acting after all!60. The sentence underlined in paragraph 2 means _______.A. Rickey draws the characterB. Rickey names Tucker FoleyC. Rickey makes the character seem realD. Rickey decides the future of Tucker Foley61. From the passage we can infer that _______.A. it’s very complex to become a cartoon film voice-over actorB. Rickey has been involved with acting most of his lifeC. Rickey was an actor when he was sixD. many people have nice voices62. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that _______.A. a voice-over actor works very hardB. being a voice-over actor needs talentsC. being a voice-over actor requires skillsD. a voice-over actor has many techniques63. The information in this article would be most valuable to people _______.A. who want to build a career around their voicesB. who need to develop their stage-acting skillsC. who want to understand scriptwritingD. who need to practice voice exercisesBasketball, Past and PresentIn 1891, a teacher invented a new exercise in Springfield, Massachusetts. A particularly cold winter meant that Dr. James Naismith’s students co u ldn’t exercise outdoors, and he needed to find a way that would both entertain them and make sure they got enough exercise. He nailed a peach basket up at one end of the gym and began to develop the rules of what is now one of the most popular sports in the world: basketball.As colleges began to adopt the game at the turn of the 20th century, basketball undertook a number of rapid changes. Five-person teams became the norm around 1898. Metal hoops replaced peach baskets in 1906. Though it was short lived, the first basketball league was formed in 1898. Under the direction of President Roosevelt, in the 1930s college sports were reorganized to change the rules, largely to prevent injury to players. This organization became the National Collegiate Athletic Association, or NCCA. The first professional league, later to become the National Basketball Association, or NBA, was put together in 1948.The game as we know it is still standardized very carefully. In the NBA and the NCAA, games are played for four quarters of 12 minutes each. A regulation court is 94 feet by 50 feet, though international basketball leagues sometimes use a somewhat smaller court. It has been suggested that because the athleticism of professional players has increased so much since 1891 the sport might be best served by increasing court size, though this change seems unlikely given the large amount of money that would be required to improve courts.Outside of the professional and collegiate leagues, there seems to be no end to the introduction of new varieties of basketball from very corner of the world: water basketball, wheelchair basketball, even a new form called slamball(极限篮球). One might even say that Dr. James Naismit h’s creative achievement to sport exists in each one. And the basketball is significant for another reason: women have been playing almost since its inception: the first game of women’s basketball was played in 1891, the same year the sport was invented.64. What purpose does the first paragraph serve?A. To provide the origin of basketball.B. To stress the importance of basketball.C. To offer basic knowledge of basketball.D. To catch the reader’s attention by telling a story.65. Which of the following statements reflects the basketball inventor’s spirit?A. Basketball is now making a large profit.B. Many new, creative varieties of basketball exits.C. Americans are still very successful at basketball.D. Basketball has become an international sport now.66. The underlined word “inception” probably means _______.A. golden ageB. beginningC. boomingD. fading periodThe past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists(人类学家). Descriptions like “Paleolithi c(旧石器时代)Man”，“Neolithic(新石器时代)Man”, etc, neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twenty-first century, they will surely choose the label “Legless Man”. Histories of the time will go something like this:“In the twenty-first century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of very huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were ruined by the presence of lar ge car parks.”The future history books might also record that we lost the right of using our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train, the unclear picture of the countryside constantly slides over the window. When you mention the most impressive place-names in the world, the typical 21st century traveler always says “I’ve been there.”—meaning“I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.”When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you skip all experience. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his cars and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.67. Anthropologists name man nowadays “Legless Man” because _______.A．people prefer cars, buses and trains B．people travel without using legsC．lifts prevent people from walking D．people use their legs less and less68. According to the passage, what might make people lose the right of using their eyes?A．The modem means of transportation. B．A bird’s-eye view of the world.C．The unclear sight from the vehicles. D．The fast-paced life style.69. From the passage, we know traveling at high speeds means _______.A．appreciating beautiful scenery B．experiencing life skillsC．focusing on the next destination D．feeling physical tiredness70. What does the author intend to tell us?A．Modem transportation devices have replaced legs.B．Traveling makes the world a small place.C．Human’s history develops very fast.D．The best way to travel is on foot.七选五Cold-Hearted YouthLaughter is a great thing. It has been proven to be physically and mentally effective on people ___71___. The reason for this is that people are laughing at the wrong things, particularly the youth. They find humor in things that people wouldn’t have generally found funny in the past. More and more young people respond to negative situations with laughter. Their responses to negative situations are becoming increasingly worrying, and this needs to be addressed.___72___ You can find hundreds of clips showing people falling off from things or getting hurt so badly that they break bones or suffer major injuries. Unfortunately, not rushing to their aid or calling an ambulance, they double over in laughter.To make matters worse, many teens laugh not just at physical accidents; they are also failing to take important topics seriously, such as the government or the state of our world. Children and teens nowadays show alarming indifference and insensitivity toward things that should arouse serious thought and emotion. ___73___ The sad thing is, it’s not their fault.Teaching youth that violence is okay and entertaining, or teaching them that the state of our world is not a big deal is telling them not to be caring and concerned. They are the next generation, and they’re not going to be able to contribute to be world if important issues do not matter to them anymore. ___74___.As a whole, society heeds to concentrate on bringing back natural human emotion and easing up on the confirmation of indifference, violence, and carelessness. ___75___.A. Search online for videos of some accidents.B. Don’t try to laugh by putting someone else down.C. However, laughter can be bad, and is increasingly becoming so.D. We are humans, not cold machines, and we need to start acting that way.E. How can they help others when they don’t take their physical or emot ional pain seriously?F. The fact that the youth are always laughing at the wrong things have nothing to with education.G. I believe youth are laughing at serious subjects because they think important topics don’t matter to them anymore.第四部分书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）假如你是红星中学高三（1）班的学生李华，你将参加学校举行的英语口语，请根据以下提示写一篇竞选稿。

2015年北京市英语中考模拟试题专项阅读理解C篇汇编含答案
2015年北京市英语中考模拟试题专项阅读理解C篇汇编一、北京市朝阳区2015中考一模CWhere did that number come from?Eleven and TwelveThe reason behind the change in number naming is that eleven comes from the German term ainlif, which translates to “one left”. Twelve follows the same rule. It comes from twalif—“two left”. Why teen is used instead of lif for 13 through 19? There is something sadly lost in history.911 for US Emergency (急救) CallsEarly phones didn’t use phone numb ers—the operator had to connect your call by hand—and this led to the need for an emergency code (信号). But later phone numbers became popular, that changed. In 1967, 911 was chosen as the nationwide emergency call because it was easy to remember and could be quickly dialed (拨) on the phone.26.2 Miles in a Marathon (马拉松)The story began with an ancient Greek soldier ca rrying message from a battlefield (战场) in Marathon to Athens. The modern marathon was born as a flagship event in the first Olympic Games, in 1896, with a distance (距离) of about 25 miles (40 km), as long as the distance from Marathon to Athens. But race organizers for the 1908 Olympic Games in London wanted to add something special. The race began at Windsor Castle and ended at White City Stadium, with runners finishing only after passing the royal (皇室的) box. The distance was 26.2 miles (42.1 km). And since 1924 this distance has been kept in marathon.28 Days in FebruaryBefore using the Gregorian calendar that we use today, one of the first Roman calendars had only 304 days and ten months (March through December), with six months of 30 days and four of 31 days. The second king of Rome improved the old calendar. He added 50 days for January and February. To make the new months longer, he took one day from each of the 30-day months, making 56 days to divide between January and February (or 28 days each). Later January was given one more day to add up to 355 days a year, but February still had 28 days. That’s how it became the shortest month and it stayed that way ever since.48. Which language do eleven and twelve come from?A. English.B. German.C. French.D. Russian.49. When was the number 911 chosen for US emergency calls?A. In 1896.B. In 1908.C. In 1924.D. In 1967.50. The marathon distance was made longer at London Olympic Games because ______.A. the British was a little weak in mathsB. the British didn’t like the Greek storyC. the British loved the royal family very muchD. the British wanted to make the race different51. How many days were there in each month after the king improved the old calendar?A. 28, 29 or 31.B. 28, 30 or 31.C. 28, 29 or 30.D. 29, 30 or 31.二、北京市顺义区2015年中考一模英语CComets(彗星) are parts of our solar system（太阳系）.Like the planets, they go around the sun.But comets are not made of solid rock like planets. Acomet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people callcomets dirty snowballs.The “snowball” may be only a few miles across. Butwhen the sun heats the “snowball,” much of i t is changed togases. The gases spread out and form the comet’s head,which may be thousands of miles across.* * *A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun. But whenwe see it, the comet does not seem to move. That’s becauseit is so far away. The moon moves fast, but when you look at it, you can’t see any motion. That’s because the moon is far away.So comets do not rush across the sky. You cannot see any motion. But if you look night after night, you can see that a comet changes position among the stars. If you watch the moon night after night, you’ll see that it also changes position.Each year astronomers discover new comets. Some of them are seen onlyonce. They make one trip around the sun and then go way out into space. The sun’s gravity（重力、引力）cannot hold them.Other comets, like Halley, keep returning. They have been captured by the sun. Halley’s earliest visit was probably 3,000 years ago. It may keep returning for another 3,000 years.But every time a comet goes around the sun, the comet loses part of itself. Gases and dust are pulled out of the comet. That’s why Halley is now dimmer than it used to be. Next time it visits us, in 2062, it may be even dimmer. Each visit it may get dimmer and dimmer, until it finally disappears.54. What is this passage mostly about?A. Comets and the sun.B. Why comets are like snowballs.C. Who discovered the first comet.D. Facts about comets.55. According to the passage, some comets have been “captured by the sun.” What does the underlined phrase mean?A. The comets are rushing into the sun.B. The comets have been brightened by the sun.C. The comets are stuck in the sun’s gravity.D. The comets have been burned by the sun’s heat.56. How does the author help the reader understand what a comet looks like?A. By telling about a famous one.B. By explaining how far away it is.C. By describing how fast it moves.D. By describing it as a dirty snowball.57. What is the most likely reason the author wrote this passage?A. To give information about comets.B. To tell readers about famous comets.C. To explain the importance of comets.D. To encourage readers to look for comets.三、北京市燕山2015年中考一模CIt was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth. “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with asmile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next si x drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random (随意的) kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed (使某人印象深刻) her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman saw the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d ta ken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, saying that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence (暴力) can build on itself.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been encouraged to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!48. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A. She had seven tickets.B. She hoped to please others.C. She wanted to show kindness.D. She knew the car drivers well.49. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she ___ .A. thought it was beautifully writtenB. wanted to know what it really meantC. decided to write it on a warehouse wallD. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom50. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?A. Judy Foreman.B. Natalie Smith.C. Alice Johnson.D. Anne Herbert.51. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. People should practice random kindness to those in need.B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.四、东城区2015中考一模试题CAlexis Martin is a three-year-old girl from Arizona. She hasn’t started kindergarten(幼儿园)yet, but she has an IQ above 160, which is well above the average (一般的)people’s IQ. So, th ere is no wonder that sh e has become the youngest member of Mensa, the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. Mensa is an international club whose members must have an IQ score in the top 2% of the world. Currently, Mensa has 3,300 members under the age of18 in the U.S. Alexis is one of them.The average people generally have an IQ score of 100 points, but Alexis scored 160 points, the highest score on the test. The doctors who tested Alexis said she scored so high that they couldn’t even work out her IQ exactly. They think she is even smarter than 99.9% ofthe world population. Actually, she matched the IQs of talents like Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates.Ian Martin, Alexis’ father, said his daughter showed signs of some special abilities at the age of one and she began reading books for pupils when she was ju st two years old. Now at the age of three, Alexis is reading on a fifth gradelevel.“From 12 months old, we’d be driving around in the car and sh e would repeat her bedtimestories from the night bef ore,”he said. “She didn’t just repeat them. She could remember every word of them exactly.”Ian Martin thinks his daughter also stands out when it comes to learning new languages. “Anytime she learns a word and just picks it up through anything. She never ever uses it i n the incorrect situation, ever.”Ian said.While Alexis’s parents are proud that their three-year-old daughter has become a member in Mensa, they are also aware of the price that comes with every gift. The doctors say Alexis should never attend a normal school and children with her level of intelligence(智力) often experience high anxiety(焦虑) unless they’re around similarly gifted boys and girls.

Buy it on the Internet! Need it now? Why wait? Ask for next-day delivery! Each day, more and more people try online shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.People are surprised to hear this. “They think, ‘I don’t need to drive, and the business doesn’t need to build a store, so there will be less pollution,’” says NuriaProst, an environmental scientist. “But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution.”In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. For example, most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials. But paper use increased by 33 percent between 1986 and 1997. “Online shopping could have similarly negative effects,” says Nevil Cohen, a professor of environmental science.Part of the problem is what people are buying these days. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy products such as televisions, computers, and furniture. These products need to be packed in large amounts of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask for next-day delivery, companies often have to send them by air. Airplanes use much more fuel than cars and produce more carbon dioxide (CO2). When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by airplane.Online product returns are al so a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes without extra pay if they are the wrong size. This doubles the packing material and number of airplane trips required to sell one pair of shoes.“If people want to protect the environment,they need to think before they shop,” says Prost. “People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait?” Online stores can also charge（收费）customers for returns. This may make people shop more carefully. “Online shopping is fast and easy,” says Prost, “but we can’t forget the negative effects it has on the environment.”48. Why does online shopping create a lot of waste?A. Because companies charge more for product returns.B. Because people buy too many things they don’t need.C. Because paper use has increased by 33 percent from 1986 to 1997.D. Because large, heavy products require much packing material.49. What do companies do to meet the needs of the next-day delivery?A. Prepare more products.B. Get more workers to pack.C. Send the products by air.D. Open more stores in cities.50. Prost probably agrees that ______.A. people should drive to stores to buy thingsB. online shopping adds pollution to the environmentC. online shopping saves more than shopping in a storeD. people can buy things online without careful consideration51. What is probably the best title of the passage?A. A Good Deal to Make?B. A Different Lifestyle to Keep?C. A Cleaner Way to Shop?D. A New Business to Start?六、怀柔区2015年中考一模CThere are many online food shopping sites. This is very surprising. Things like CDs, books, and DVDs sell well online. But it is quite different to sell food online because people like to see food with their own eyes. It is very important for people to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. Customers like to choose their food by its colour. They also want to touch and smell it. But some people like to go to the same shop to buy food, because they think the food there has a very good quality. So if the food is always good, they may also feel comfortable buying it online.Boxes of fruits and vegetables have been delivered(递送) to homes around Britain for a few years now. Dried or canned foods are almost always the same, but things like apples are not. People may want to choose their own apples so they can take the ones that aren't bruised(碰伤)or the ones that look nice. Buying dried and canned food online is easier. A person can buy this kind of food on the Internet and then buy fruits and vegetables at a store or a market.Now people can also buy food through supermarket websites. There people can find most of the things that supermarkets usually sell. Other food websites sell different types of food. Some sell food from one part of the world such as Asia. Others sell food that is hard to find in supermarkets. There are also websites that sell sweet foods such as cakes and candies.The food is usually delivered by the next day or even on the same day. People still need to be careful, though. They must check to see if the food is fresh when they get it. It is a good idea for people to find out how far away the food is being delivered from. It is also a problem if the company does not use refrigeration when they deliver food that should be kept cold. If traveling long distances in the summer to deliver the goods, this is important.48.When people buy food, they usually __________.A. choose the colourB. don't touch or smell itC. go to different shops each timeD. want to see with their own eyes49. It is not so easy to buy________ online.A. CDs or DVDsB. apples or bananasC. dried or canned foodsD. books or magazines50. If fresh fruit and vegetables _______, customers will buy them online.A. look niceB. have a very good qualityC. make people feel comfortableD. have been put into boxes51. When customers get the food they buy, it's important for them to________.A. pay for itB. use refrigerationC. check itD. cook it七、门头沟区2014~2015学年度初三一模CLast week, my granddaughter started kindergarten(幼儿园), and certainly I wished her success. I was saying something that is not true. What I actually wish for her is failure. I believe in the importance of failure.Success is boring. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or do something correctly the first time, which can often be a problem for the future. First-time success is usually a fluke(侥幸). First-time failure, in fact, is the natural order of things.Failure means how we learn. I have been told of an African phrase(短语) describing a good cook as “she who has broken many bowls”. If you’ve spent enough time in the kitchen and have broken a lot of bowls, probably you know a lot about cooking. I once had a dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much their failures gave them.My younger daughter is a dancer. She spent three years getting ready for an act. She did it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change the act—but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored; and if she was bored, she couldn’t play well. So she changed the act. She risked failure in order to feed her heart.My granddaughter is a perfectionist. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do whatever it is better next time. I probably won’t tell her that failure is a good thing, because that’s not a lesson you can learn when you’re five. I hope I can t ell her, though, that it’s not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the beginning.48. What did the writer really wish for her granddaughter in the kindergarten?A. Success.B. Failure.C. Kindness.D. Care.49. The third paragraph mainly tells us .A. what “a good cook” meansB. a cook should often cookC. a cook must break many bowlsD. failure means how we learn50. Why did the younger daughter change the act?A. Because she didn’t do well in it.B. Because she was asked to change it.C. Because she wanted to feed her heart.D. Because she wanted to try a failure.51. What does the writer hope to tell the granddaughter?A. Failure is a good thing.B. She can’t fail any more.C. Failure is not the end of the world.D. Success is the end of the world.八、平谷区2014-2015学年度初三一模CYou probably know you should say "please" and "thank you" at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can't hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 players, you shouldn't turn it up too high. Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 off and put it away. Libraries, and schools don't allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don't have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesn't make sense to listen on your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.Take One Out! Once in a while, it's okay just to take out one earphone and not other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it's not for you.It's Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.49. We shouldn't turn up the music too high because loud music ______________..A．is not enjoyable B．hurts our ears C．is bad for MP3 players D．makes us uncomfortable50. If we listen to music at a sporting event, ___________.A. it’s impolite to othersB. we’ll miss part of the movieC. we won’t know what’s going onD. the players will be angry51 . We should turn our MP3 off and put it away when ___________ according to the passage.A. we read in a library B . someone asks us the wayC. we’re reading booksD. a waitor comes52. The writer wants us to ___________________ by writing the passage.A. be polite at restaurantsB. respect our classmates.C. follow the rules of librariesD. have music manners九、石景山区2015年初三英语一模试卷CSoap is more popular in liquid form than in bars in the UK – but there are good reasons to stick with the old traditional way of keeping clean, says GarethRubin.According to market research company Mintel, 87% ofBritons usually buy liquid soap, compared to only 13% who buy bars of it.solid soap is losing the popularity. But why do some people still prefer traditional solid soap?1. It’s what they’ve always known.Some people are just traditionalists. According to Mark Constantine, he thinks it’s always lovely when we’re using something that’s been about for 3,000 years. Solid soap has got a hugehistory and they’re very beautiful.2. Solid soap is more pleasant.Smelling a plastic bottle doesn’t feel very comfortable, while you can get bars of different textures and smells – some bars have sea salt, nuts, fruits or flowers in them for a bit of a surprise. Others come in beautiful or even funny shapes and sizes. You can tie attractive bars of soap up in silk ribbons (丝带) and present them as a gift to a loved one – the effect i sn’t quite the same when you do this with a liquid soap.3. Less packaging (包装) is better for the planet.All those bottles has to come from somewhere and go somewhere. Recycling can only do so much, whereas typically a bar of soap comes in a little paper wrapper and that’s it. If you care about the environment, you can even buy bars of soap without paper around them. “And about 60% of the cost of a bottle of soap goes on the packaging and the pump (泵头).” says Constantine.4. The bottles are a little bit difficult.You can hold a bar of soap in one hand and it works. With the bottles you first have to use both hands to unlock the pump, and shut your eyes to the liquid slowly dropping the sticky thing onto your bathroom floor. When the bar of soap runs down, you can still use it until it is no more, but with the liquid soap it is a difficult task to get the last drop out of the bottom.【】48. According to market research company Mintel, ______.A. solid soap is as popular as liquid soapB. more people refuse to buy liquid soapC. solid soap is becoming less popularD. solid soap is better for the planet 【】49. Compared to solid soap, liquid soap ______.A. has less packagingB. has a much longer historyC. is more pleasant in smellsD. has less funny shapes and sizes【】50. What can you infer from the passage?A. Liquid soap is not worth the price according to Constantine.B. A bottle of liquid soap cannot be a present for a friend.C. More people will buy solid soap without silk ribbons.D. It’s impossib le to use up the liquid soap in a bottle.【】51. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. People’s preference to soap is changing.B. Liquid soap is still liked by many Britons.C. The advantages and disadvantages of solid soap.D. The reasons why some people still prefer solid soap.十、顺义区2015届初三第一次统一练习CSome people say that today, reading is not as important as it was. These days we h ave photographs, films, radio and television. Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph? Why read a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on radio and TV?Photography was certainly a wonderful invention. Pho tographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书) , for example, is always better when it has good illustrations. But we also need words to explain the photographs and drawings. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found, their exact size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on.In the same way, a good film has action, movement, color, and maybe music.These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film. Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently.Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world.Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get the reading habit. Read at least a little every day.48.According to Paragraph 2, photographs can give us __________.A. enough information about people and placesB. no information about thingsC. some information about things but not enoughD. the wrong information about things49. Newspapers contain __________.A. more information than televisionB. less information than televisionC. more news from other countriesD. less information about important events than TV50. What are the advantages of novel over a feature film?A. There are more interesting subjects in novels.B. We do not hear any music in a novel.C. Novels always explain what is happening.D. Novels make us use our imagination.51. What does the author think about reading?A. It is a wonderful invention.B. It is an important part of our lives.C. It requires no practices.D. It is not as important as television.十一、丰台区2014-2015学年度中考一模CLooking for an original way to raise money for charity? Has your school run out of clever and fun ideas? Don’t give up.

This section of the Employee Handbook will tell you how to organize videos.Each Main street Movies store has three main sections:1.New Releases Wall.2.Film library.3.Video Games.New Releases Wall. Almost 70 percent of movie rentals are new releases, and that is the first place where most customers go when they enter the store. The center section of shelves on this wall holds Hottest Hits. When new titles come into the store, place them on this wall in alphabetical order. The shelves beside Hottest Hits are called Recent Releases. The NewReleases Wall, including the Hottest Hits and Recent Releases shelves, holds about 350 titles.Film Library. The thousands of titles in the Film Library are organized into categories. The films within each category are displayed alphabetically. Here are the categories and their two-letter computer codes:*Foreign Language titles include films that were originally made in a foreign language and films with foreign language subtitles. A sticker on the back of each box tells which type of film it is.Video Game. All the video games in Main street Movies are arranged in alphabetical order. Although video games represent only a small percentage of our inventory(库存), they are stolen more often than any other type of goods in our store. Therefore, video games are never displayed on the shelves. Shelves in the Video Game section hold cardboard with pictures and information about each game. When a customer wants to rent a particular game, you then find the game from the locked case behind the counter.56. Whom do you think this passage is most probably addressed to?A．The readers in the store.B．The manager of the store.C．The customers in the store.D．The salespersons of the store.57. In which order are the new movies moved in the store?A．From Hottest Hits to Film Library to Recent Releases.B．From Film Library to Hottest Hits to Recent Releases.C．From Recent Releases to Film Library to Hottest Hits.D．From Hottest Hits to Recent Releases to Film Library.58. Why can’t video games be seen on the shelves?A．Because they’ve been sold out.B．Because they’re i n the storehouse.C．Because they’re in a locked case behind the counter.D．Because they represent a small percentage of the inventory.59. How can a customer find a film with foreign language subtitles?A. Check the computer.B. Look at the back of the box.C. Check the center section.D. Watch a few minutes of the film.BHearing VoicesWould you like to be an actor, but aren’t the right age or physical type for the part? Don’t give up: there may be a place for you in the world of voice-acting.Twenty-year-old Rickey Collins brings Tucker Foley to like in the cartoon Danny Phantom. In addition to many appearances on television and in movies, Rickey is a voice-over actor, someone we hear but don’t see. Rickey has acted since he was 6, both on a nd off camera. After school, his grandmother-a manager and acting coach-helped his develop his skills by doing voice exercises and reading aloud.V oice-over actors do many kinds of acting. They are the voices of cartoon characters on television, in movies and video games, and for communicating toys. In films, they replace the foreign language conversation with English version. They create crowd noises, make commercials, act in radio plays, and record telephone instructions and public announcements. They read books on tape and even record museum tours.Like other actors, voice-over actors need to understand scripts, interpret characters, and breathe correctly. They have to master voice techniques, such as pacing, volume, and range. Sometimes they use their normal voices; other times they change their voices to create different characters or noises. Rickey receives his Danny Phantom scripts only a few days before he tapes each episode(集). He rites helpful notes on the script to guide himself on speaking his part.Rickey practices, then tapes at the recording studio. He and the other cast members sit in a soundproof booth, acting out their characters as they read their lines into the mic rophones. “The cartoon gets created after we record the words, so we have to imagine everything in our mind,” days Rickey. Later, the recorded words, music, and sound effects are combined with the cartoonart to create the cartoon we enjoy on TV. Sound int eresting? Maybe you can have a “voice” in acting after all!60. The sentence underlined in paragraph 2 means _______.A. Rickey draws the characterB. Rickey names Tucker FoleyC. Rickey makes the character seem realD. Rickey decides the future of Tucker Foley61. From the passage we can infer that _______.A. it’s very complex to become a cartoon film voice-over actorB. Rickey has been involved with acting most of his lifeC. Rickey was an actor when he was sixD. many people have nice voices62. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that _______.A. a voice-over actor works very hardB. being a voice-over actor needs talentsC. being a voice-over actor requires skillsD. a voice-over actor has many techniques63. The information in this article would be most valuable to people _______.A. who want to build a career around their voicesB. who need to develop their stage-acting skillsC. who want to understand scriptwritingD. who need to practice voice exercisesCBasketball, Past and PresentIn 1891, a teacher invented a new exercise in Springfield, Massachusetts. A particularly coldwinter meant that Dr. James Naismith’s students couldn’t exercise outdoors, and he needed to find a way that would both entertain them and make sure they got enough exercise. He nailed a peach basket up at one end of the gym and began to develop the rules of what is now one of the most popular sports in the world: basketball.As colleges began to adopt the game at the turn of the 20th century, basketball undertook a number of rapid changes. Five-person teams became the norm around 1898. Metal hoops replaced peach baskets in 1906. Though it was short lived, the first basketball league was formed in 1898. Under the direction of President Roosevelt, in the 1930s college sports were reorganized to change the rules, largely to prevent injury to players. This organization became the National Collegiate Athletic Association, or NCCA. The first professional league, later to become the National Basketball Association, or NBA, was put together in 1948.The game as we know it is still standardized very carefully. In the NBA and the NCAA, games are played for four quarters of 12 minutes each. A regulation court is 94 feet by 50 feet, though international basketball leagues sometimes use a somewhat smaller court. It has been suggested that because the athleticism of professional players has increased so much since 1891 the sport might be best served by increasing court size, though this change seems unlikely given the large amount of money that would be required to improve courts.Outside of the professional and collegiate leagues, there seems to be no end to the introduction of new varieties of basketball from very corner of the world: water basketball, wheelchair basketball, even a new form called slamball(极限篮球). One might even say that Dr. James Naismith’s creative achievement to sport exists in each one. And the basketball is significant for another reason: women have been playing almost since its inception: the first game of women’s basketball was played in 1891, the same year the sport was invented.64. What purpose does the first paragraph serve?A. To provide the origin of basketball.B. To stress the importance of basketball.C. To offer basic knowledge of basketball.D. To catch the reader’s attention by telling a story.65. Which of the following statements reflects the basketball inventor’s spirit?A. Basketball is now making a large profit.B. Many new, creative varieties of basketball exits.C. Americans are still very successful at basketball.D. Basketball has become an international sport now.66. The underlined word “inception” probably means _______.A. golden ageB. beginningC. boomingD. fading periodDThe past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists(人类学家). Descriptions like “Paleolithic(旧石器时代)Man”，“Neolithic(新石器时代)Man”, etc, neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twenty-first century, they will surely choose the label “Legless Man”. Historie s of the time will go something like this:“In the twenty-first century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of very huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were ruined by the presence of large car parks.”The future history books might also record that we lost the right of using our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train, the unclear picture of the countryside constantly slides over the window. When you mention the most impressive place-names in the world, the typical 21st century traveler always says “I’ve been there.”—meaning“I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.”When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you skip all experience. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his cars and the whole of his body. At the end of hisjourney he feels a delicious physical tiredness. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.67.

It has been proven to be physically and mentally effective on people ___71___. The reason for this is that people are laughing at the wrong things, particularly the y outh. They find humor in things that people wouldn’t have generally found funny in the past. More and more young people respond to negative situations with laughter. Their responses to negative situations are becoming increasingly worrying, and this needs to be addressed.___72___ You can find hundreds of clips showing people falling off from things or getting hurt so badly that they break bones or suffer major injuries. Unfortunately, not rushing to their aid or calling an ambulance, they double over in laughter.To make matters worse, many teens laugh not just at physical accidents; they are also failing to take important topics seriously, such as the government or the state of our world. Children and teens nowadays show alarming indifference and insensitivity toward things that should arouse serious thought and emotion. ___73___ The sad thing is, it’s not their fault.Teaching youth that violence is okay and entertaining, or teaching them that the state of our world is not a big deal is telling them not to be caring and concerned. They are the next generation, and they’re not going to be able to contribute to be world if important issues do not matter to them anymore. ___74___.As a whole, society heeds to concentrate on bringing back natural human emotion and easing up on the confirmation of indifference, violence, and carelessness. ___75___.A.

This section of the Employee Handbook will tell you how to organize videos.Each Main street Movies store has three main sections:1.New Releases Wall.2.Film library.3.Video Games.New Releases Wall. Almost 70 percent of movie rentals are new releases, and that is the first place where most customers go when they enter the store. The center section of shelves on this wall holds Hottest Hits. When new titles come into the store, place them on this wall in alphabetical order. The shelves beside Hottest Hits are called Recent Releases. The New Releases Wall, including the Hottest Hits and Recent Releases shelves, holds about 350 titles.Film Library. The thousands of titles in the Film Library are organized into categories. The films within each category are displayed alphabetically. Here are the categories and their two-letter computer codes:AC Action DR Drama HO HorrorCH Children FA Family MU MusicCO Comedy FL Foreign Language SC SCIENCE Fiction*Foreign Language titles include films that were originally made in a foreign language and films with foreign language subtitles. A sticker on the back of each box tells which type of film it is.Video Game. All the video games in Main street Movies are arranged in alphabetical order. Although video games represent only a small percentage of our inventory(库存), they are stolen more often than any other type of goods in our store. Therefore, video games are never displayed on the shelves. Shelves in the Video Game section hold cardboard with pictures and information about each game. When a customer wants to rent a particular game, you then find the game from the locked case behind the counter.56. Whom do you think this passage is most probably addressed to?A．The readers in the store.B．The manager of the store.C．The customers in the store.D．The salespersons of the store.57. In which order are the new movies moved in the store?A．From Hottest Hits to Film Library to Recent Releases.B．From Film Library to Hottest Hits to Recent Releases.C．From Recent Releases to Film Library to Hottest Hits.D．From Hottest Hits to Recent Releases to Film Library.58. Why can’t video games be seen on the shelves?A．Because they’ve been sold out.B．Because they’re in the storehouse.C．Because they’re in a locked case behind the counter.D．Because they represent a small percentage of the inventory.59. How can a customer find a film with foreign language subtitles?A. Check the computer.B. Look at the back of the box.C. Check the center section.D. Watch a few minutes of the film.BHearing VoicesWould you like to be an actor, but aren’t the right age or physical type for the part? Don’t give up: there may be a place for you in the world of voice-acting.Twenty-year-old Rickey Collins brings Tucker Foley to like in the cartoon Danny Phantom. In addition to many appearances on television and in movies, Rickey is a voice-over actor, someone we hear but don’t see. Rickey has acted since he was 6, both on and off camera. After school, his grandmother-a manager and acting coach-helped his develop his skills by doing voice exercises and reading aloud.Voice-over actors do many kinds of acting. They are the voices of cartoon characters on television, in movies and video games, and for communicating toys. In films, they replace the foreign language conversation with English version. They create crowd noises, make commercials, act in radio plays, and record telephone instructions and public announcements. They read books on tape and even record museum tours.Like other actors, voice-over actors need to understand scripts, interpret characters, and breathe correctly. They have to master voice techniques, such as pacing, volume, and range. Sometimes they use their normal voices; other times they change their voices tocreate different characters or noises. Rickey receives his Danny Phantom scripts only a few days before he tapes each episode(集). He rites helpful notes on the script to guide himself on speaking his part.Rickey practices, then tapes at the recording studio. He and the other cast members sit in a soundproof booth, acting out their characters as they read their lines into the microphones. “The cartoon gets created after we record the words, so we have to imagine everything in our mind,” days Rickey. Later, the recorded words, music, and sound effects are combined with the cartoon art to create the cartoon we enjoy on TV. Sound interesting? Maybe you can have a “voice” in acting after all!60. The sentence underlined in paragraph 2 means _______.A. Rickey draws the characterB. Rickey names Tucker FoleyC. Rickey makes the character seem realD. Rickey decides the future of Tucker Foley61. From the passage we can infer that _______.A. it’s very complex to become a cartoon film voice-over actorB. Rickey has been involved with acting most of his lifeC. Rickey was an actor when he was sixD. many people have nice voices62. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that _______.A. a voice-over actor works very hardB. being a voice-over actor needs talentsC. being a voice-over actor requires skillsD. a voice-over actor has many techniques63. The information in this article would be most valuable to people _______.A. who want to build a career around their voicesB. who need to develop their stage-acting skillsC. who want to understand scriptwritingD. who need to practice voice exercisesCBasketball, Past and PresentIn 1891, a teacher invented a new exercise in Springfield, Massachusetts. A particularly cold winter meant that Dr. James Naismith’s students couldn’t exercise outdoors, and he needed to find a way that would both entertain them and make sure they got enough exercise. He nailed a peach basket up at one end of the gym and began to develop the rules of what is now one of the most popular sports in the world: basketball.As colleges began to adopt the game at the turn of the 20th century, basketball undertook a number of rapid changes. Five-person teams became the norm around 1898. Metal hoops replaced peach baskets in 1906. Though it was short lived, the first basketball league was formed in 1898. Under the direction of President Roosevelt, in the 1930s college sports were reorganized to change the rules, largely to prevent injury to players. This organization became the National Collegiate Athletic Association, or NCCA. The first professional league, later to become the National Basketball Association, or NBA, was put together in 1948.The game as we know it is still standardized very carefully. In the NBA and the NCAA, games are played for four quarters of 12 minutes each. A regulation court is 94 feet by 50 feet, though international basketball leagues sometimes use a somewhat smaller court. It has been suggested that because the athleticism of professional players has increased so much since 1891 the sport might be best served by increasing court size, though this change seems unlikely given the large amount of money that would be required to improve courts.Outside of the professional and collegiate leagues, there seems to be no end to the introduction of new varieties of basketball from very corner of the world: water basketball, wheelchair basketball, even a new form called slamball(极限篮球). One might even say that Dr. James Naismith’s creative achievement to sport exists in each one. And the basketball is significant for another reason: women have been playing almost since its inception: the first game of women’s basketball was played in 1891, the same year the sport was invented.64. What purpose does the first paragraph serve?A. To provide the origin of basketball.B. To stress the importance of basketball.C. To offer basic knowledge of basketball.D. To catch the reader’s attention by telling a story.65. Which of the following statements reflects the basketball inventor’s spirit?A. Basketball is now making a large profit.B. Many new, creative varieties of basketball exits.C. Americans are still very successful at basketball.D. Basketball has become an international sport now.66. The underlined word “inception” probably means _______.A. golden ageB. beginningC. boomingD. fading periodDThe past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists(人类学家). Descriptions like “Paleolithic(旧石器时代)Man”，“Neolithic(新石器时代)Man”, etc, neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twenty-first century, they will surely choose the label “Legless Man”. Histories of the time will go something like this:“In the twenty-first century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of very huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were ruined by the presence of large car parks.”The future history books might also record that we lost the right of using our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel give s you a bird’s-eye view of the world or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train, the unclear picture of the countryside constantly slides over the window. When you mention the most impressive place-names in the world, the typical 21st century traveler always says “I’ve been there.”—meaning“I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.”When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place.

At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.67.

They read books on tape and even record museum tours.Like other actors, voice-over actors need to understand scripts, interpret characters, and breathe correctly. They have to master voice techniques, such as pacing, volume, and range. Sometimes they use their normal voices; other times they change their voices to create different characters or noises. Rickey receives his Danny Phantom scripts only a few days before he tapes each episode(集). He writes helpful notes on the script to guide himself on speaking his part.Rickey practices, then tapes at the recording studio. He and the other cast members sit in a soundproof booth, acting out their characters as they read their lines into the microphones. “The cartoon gets created after we record the words, so we have to imagine everything in our mind,” says Rickey. Later, the recorded words, music, and sound effects are combined with the cartoon art to create the cartoon we enjoy on TV. Sound interesting? Maybe you can have a “voice” in acting after all!60. The sentence underlined in paragraph 2 means _________.A. Rickey draws the characterB. Rickey names Tucker FoleyC. Rickey makes the character seem realD. Rickey decides the future of Tucker Foley61. From the passage we can infer that _________.A. i t’s very comp lex to become a cartoon film voice-over actorB. Rickey has been involved with acting most of his lifeC. Rickey was an actor when he was sixD. many people have nice voices62. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that _________.A. a voice-over actor works very hardB. being a voice-over actor needs talentsC. being a voice-over actor requires skillsD. a voice-over actor has many techniques63. The information in this article would be most valuable to people _________.A. who want to build a career around their voicesB. who need to develop their stage-acting skillsC. who want to understand scriptwritingD. who need to practice voice exercisesC 61－65:BCACBasketball, Past and PresentIn 1891, a teacher invented a new exercise in Springfield, Massachusetts. A particularly cold winter meant that Dr. James Naismith’s students couldn’t exercise outdoors, and he needed to find a way that would both entertain them and make sure they got enough exercise. He nailed a peach basket up at one end of the gym and began to develop the rules of what is now one of the most popular sports in the world: basketball.As colleges began to adopt the game at the turn of the 20th century, basketball undertook a number of rapid changes. Five-person teams became the norm around 1898. Metal hoops replaced peach baskets in 1906. Though it was short lived, the first basketball league was formed in 1898. Under the direction of President Roosevelt, in the 1930s college sports were reorganized to change the rules, largely to prevent injury to players. This organization became the National Collegiate Athletic Association, or NCCA. The first professional league, later to become the National Basketball Association, or NBA, was put together in 1948.The game as we know it is still standardized very carefully. In the NBA and the NCAA, games are played for four quarters of 12 minutes each. A regulation court is 94 feet by 50 feet, though international basketball leagues sometimes use a somewhat smaller court. It has been suggested that because the athleticism of professional players has increased so much since 1891 the sport might be best served by increasing court size, though this change seems unlikely given the large amount of money that would be required to improve courts.Outside of the professional and collegiate leagues, there seems to be no end to the introduction of new varieties of basketball from every corner of the world: water basketball, wheelchair basketball, even a new form called slamball (极限篮球). One might even say that Dr. James Naismith’s creative achievement to sport exists in each one. And the basketball is significant for another reason: women have been playing almost since its inception: the first game of women’s basketball was played in 1891, the same year the sport was invented.64. What purpose does the first paragraph serve?A. To provide the origin of basketball.B. To stress the importance of basketball.C. To offer basic knowledge of basketball.D. To catch the re ader’s attention by telling a story.65. Which of the following statements reflects the basketball inventor’s spirit?A. Basketball is now making a large profit.B. Many new, creative varieties of basketball exist.C. Americans are still very successful at basketball.D. Basketball has become an international sport now.66. The underlined word “inception” probably means _________.A. golden ageB. beginningC. boomingD. fading periodAB 66－70: BDThe past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists（人类学家）. Descriptions like “Paleolithic(旧石器时代) Man”, “Neolithic(新石器时代) Man”, etc., neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twenty-first century, they will surely choose the label “Legless Man”. Histories of the time will go something like this: “In the twenty-first century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing is that they didn’t us e their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were ruined by the presence of large car parks. ”The future history books might also record that we lost the right of using our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train, the unclear picture of the countryside constantly slides over the window. When you mention the most impressive place-names in the world, the typical 21st cen tury traveler always says “I’ve been there.”—meaning “I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.”When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you skip all experience. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.67. Anthropologists name man nowadays “Legless Man” because _________.A. people prefer cars, buses and trainsB. people travel without using legsC. lifts prevent people from walkingD. people use their legs less and less68. According to the passage, what might make people lose the right of using their eyes?A. The modern means of transportation.B. A bird’s-eye view of the world.C. The unclear sight from the vehicles.D. The fast-paced life style.69. From the passage, we know traveling at high speeds means _________.A. appreciating beautiful sceneryB. experiencing life skillsC. focusing on the next destinationD. feeling physical tiredness70. What does the author intend to tell us?A. Modern transportation devices have replaced legs.B. Traveling makes the world a small place.C. Human’s history develops very fast.D. The best way to travel is on foot.DACD第二节（共５小题；每小题２分，共10分）Cold-Hearted YouthLaughter is a great thing. It has been proven to be physically and mentally effective on people.71 . The reason for this is that people are laughing at the wrong things, particularly the youth. They find humor in things that people wouldn’t have generally found funny in the past. More and more young people respond to negative situations with laughter. Their responses to negative situations are becoming increasingly worrying, and this needs to be addressed.72 You can find hundreds of clips showing people falling off from things or getting hurt so badly that they break bones or suffer major injuries. Unfortunately, not rushing to their aid or calling an ambulance, they double over in laughter.To make matters worse, many teens laugh not just at physical accidents; they are also failing to take important topics seriously, such as the government or the state of our world. Children and teens nowadays show alarming indifference and insensitivity toward things that should arouse serious thought and emotion. 73 The sad thing is, it’s not their fault.Teaching youth that violence is okay and entertaining, or teaching them that the state of our world is not a big deal is telling them not to be caring and concerned. They are the next generation, and they’re no t going to be able to contribute to the world if important issues do not matter to them anymore. 74As a whole, society needs to concentrate on bringing back natural human emotion and easing up on the confirmation of indifference, violence, and carelessness. 75A. Search online for videos of some accidents.B. Don’t try to laugh by putting someone else down.C. However, laughter can be bad, and is increasingly becoming so.D. We are humans, not cold machines, and we need to start acting that way.E. How can they help others when they don’t take their physical or emotional pain seriously?F. The fact that the youth are always laughing at the wrong things has nothing to do with education.G. I believe youth are laughing at serious subjects because they think important topics don’t matter to them anymore.71－75: C A G E D第II卷第四部分书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）假如你是红星中学高三（1）班的学生李华，你将参加学校举行的英语口语俱乐部主席竞选，请根据以下提示写一篇竞选稿。

This section of the Employee Handbook will tell you how toorganize videos.Each Main street Movies store has three main sections:1.New Releases Wall.2.Film library.3.Video Games.New Releases Wall. Almost 70 percent of movie rentals are new releases, and that is the first place where most customers go when they enter the store. The center section of shelves on this wall holds Hottest Hits. When new titles come into the store, place them on this wall in alphabetical order. The shelves beside Hottest Hits are called Recent Releases. The New Releases Wall, including the Hottest Hits and Recent Releases shelves, holds about 350 titles.Film Library. The thousands of titles in the Film Library are organized into categories. The films withinforeign language subtitles. A sticker on the back of each box tells which type of film it is.Video Game. All the video games in Main street Movies are arranged in alphabetical order. Although video games represent only a small percentage of our inventory(库存), they are stolen more often than any other type of goods in our store. Therefore, video games are never displayed on the shelves. Shelves in theVideo Game section hold cardboard with pictures and information about each game. When a customer wants to rent a particular game, you then find the game from the locked case behind the counter.56. Whom do you think this passage is most probably addressed to?A．The readers in the store. B．The manager of the store.C．The customers in the store. D．The salespersons of the store.57. In which order are the new movies moved in the store?A．From Hottest Hits to Film Library to Recent Releases.B．From Film Library to Hottest Hits to Recent Releases.C．From Recent Releases to Film Library to Hottest Hits.D．From Hottest Hits to Recent Releases to Film Library.58. Why can’t video games be seen on the shelves?A．Because they’ve been s old out.B．Because they’re in the storehouse.C．Because they’re in a locked case behind the counter.D．Because they represent a small percentage of the inventory.59. How can a customer find a film with foreign language subtitles?A. Check the computer.B. Look at the back of the box.C. Check the center section.D. Watch a few minutes of the film.56-60 DDCBBHearing VoicesWould you like to be an actor, but aren’t the right age or physical type for the part? Don’t give up: there may be a place for you in the world of voice-acting.Twenty-year-old Rickey Collins brings Tucker Foley to like in the cartoon Danny Phantom. In addition to many appearances on television and in movies, Rickey is a voice-over actor, someone we hear but don’t see. Rickey has acted since he was 6, both on and off camera. After school, his grandmother-a manager and acting coach-helped his develop his skills by doing voice exercises and reading aloud.Voice-over actors do many kinds of acting. They are the voices of cartoon characters on television, in movies and video games, and for communicating toys. In films, they replace the foreign language conversation with English version. They create crowd noises, make commercials, act in radio plays, and record telephone instructions and public announcements. They read books on tape and even record museum tours.Like other actors, voice-over actors need to understand scripts, interpret characters, and breathe correctly. They have to master voice techniques, such as pacing, volume, and range. Sometimes they use their normal voices; other times they change their voices to create different characters or noises. Rickey receives his Danny Phantom scripts only a few days before he tapes each episode(集). He rites helpful notes on the script to guide himself on speaking his part.Rickey practices, then tapes at the recording studio. He and the other cast members sit in a soundproof booth, acting out their characters as they read their lines into the microphones. “The cartoon gets cr eated after we record the words, so we have to imagine everything in our mind,” days Rickey. Later, the recorded words, music, and sound effects are combined with the cartoon art to create the cartoon we enjoy on TV. Sound interesting? Maybe you can have a “voice” in acting after all!60. The sentence underlined in paragraph 2 means _______.A. Rickey draws the characterB. Rickey names Tucker FoleyC. Rickey makes the character seem realD. Rickey decides the future of Tucker Foley61. From the passage we can infer that _______.A. it’s very complex to become a cartoon film voice-over actorB. Rickey has been involved with acting most of his lifeC. Rickey was an actor when he was sixD. many people have nice voices62. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that _______.A. a voice-over actor works very hardB. being a voice-over actor needs talentsC. being a voice-over actor requires skillsD. a voice-over actor has many techniques63. The information in this article would be most valuable to people _______.A. who want to build a career around their voicesB. who need to develop their stage-acting skillsC. who want to understand scriptwritingD. who need to practice voice exercisesC 61-65 BCACBasketball, Past and PresentIn 1891, a teacher invented a new exercise in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Don’t give up: there may be a place for you in the world of voice-acting.Twenty-year-old Rickey Collins brings Tucker Foley to like in the cartoon Danny Phantom. In addition to many appearances on television and in movies, Rickey is a voice-over actor, someone we hear but don’t see. Rickey has acted since he was 6, both on and off camera. After school, his grandmother-a manager and acting coach-helped his develop his skills by doing voice exercises and reading aloud.Voice-over actors do many kinds of acting. They are the voices of cartoon characters on television, in movies and video games, and for communicating toys. In films, they replace the foreign language conversation with English version. They create crowd noises, make commercials, act in radio plays, and record telephone instructions and public announcements. They read books on tape and even record museum tours.Like other actors, voice-over actors need to understand scripts, interpret characters, and breathe correctly. They have to master voice techniques, such as pacing, volume, and range. Sometimes they use their normal voices; other times they change their voices to create different characters or noises. Rickey receives his Danny Phantom scripts only a few days before he tapes each episode(集). He rites helpful notes on the script to guide himself on speaking his part.Rickey practices, then tapes at the recording studio. He and the other cast members sit in a soundproof booth, acting out their characters as they read their lines into the microphones. “The cartoon gets created after we record the words, so we have to imagine everything in our mind,” days Rickey. Later, the recorded words, music, and sound effects are combined wi th the cartoon art to create the cartoon we enjoy on TV. Sound interesting? Maybe you can havea “voice” in acting after all!60. The sentence underlined in paragraph 2 means _______.A. Rickey draws the characterB. Rickey names Tucker FoleyC. Rickey makes the character seem realD. Rickey decides the future of Tucker Foley61. From the passage we can infer that _______.A. it’s very complex to become a cartoon film voice-over actorB. Rickey has been involved with acting most of his lifeC. Rickey was an actor when he was sixD. many people have nice voices62. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that _______.A. a voice-over actor works very hardB. being a voice-over actor needs talentsC. being a voice-over actor requires skillsD. a voice-over actor has many techniques63. The information in this article would be most valuable to people _______.A. who want to build a career around their voicesB. who need to develop their stage-acting skillsC. who want to understand scriptwritingD. who need to practice voice exercisesCBasketball, Past and PresentIn 1891, a teacher invented a new exercise in Springfield, Massachusetts. A particularly cold winter meant that Dr. James Naismith’s students couldn’t exercis e outdoors, and he needed to find a way that would both entertain them and make sure they got enough exercise. He nailed a peach basket up at one end of the gym and began to develop the rules of what is now one of the most popular sports in the world: basketball.As colleges began to adopt the game at the turn of the 20th century, basketball undertook a number of rapid changes. Five-person teams became the norm around 1898. Metal hoops replaced peach baskets in 1906. Though it was short lived, the first basketball league was formed in 1898. Under the direction of President Roosevelt, in the 1930s college sports were reorganized to change the rules, largely to prevent injury to players. This organization became the National Collegiate Athletic Association, or NCCA. The first professional league, later to become the National Basketball Association, or NBA, was put together in 1948.The game as we know it is still standardized very carefully. In the NBA and the NCAA, games are played for four quarters of 12 minutes each. A regulation court is 94 feet by 50 feet, though international basketball leagues sometimes use a somewhat smaller court. It has been suggested that because the athleticism of professional players has increased so much since 1891 the sport might be best served by increasing court size, though this change seems unlikely given the large amount of money that would be required to improve courts.Outside of the professional and collegiate leagues, there seems to be no end to the introduction of new varieties of basketball from very corner of the world: water basketball, wheelchair basketball, even a new form called slamball(极限篮球). One might even say that Dr. James Naismith’s creative achievement to sport exists in each one. And the basketball is significant for another reason: women have been playing almost since its inception: the first game of women’s basketball was played in 1891, the same year the sport was invented.64. What purpose does the first paragraph serve?A. To provide the origin of basketball.B. To stress the importance of basketball.C. To offer basic knowledge of basketball.D. To catch the reader’s attention by telling a story.65. Which of the following statements reflects the basketball inventor’s spirit?A. Basketball is now making a large profit.B. Many new, creative varieties of basketball exits.C. Americans are still very successful at basketball.D. Basketball has become an international sport now.66. The underlined word “inception” probably means _______.A. golden ageB. beginningC. boomingD. fading periodDThe past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists(人类学家). Descriptions like “Paleolithic(旧石器时代)Man”，“Neolithic(新石器时代)Man”, etc, neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twenty-first century, they will surely choose the label “Legless Man”. Histories of the time will go something like this:“In the twenty-first century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of very huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were ruined by the presence of lar ge car parks.”The future history books might also record that we lost the right of using our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train, the unclear picture of the countryside constantly slides over the window. When you mention the most impressive place-names in the world, the typical 21st century traveler al ways says “I’ve been there.”—meaning“I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.”When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you skip all experience. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his cars and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.67. Anthropologists name man nowadays “Legless Man” because _______.A．people prefer cars, buses and trains B．people travel without using legsC．lifts prevent people from walking D．people use their legs less and less68. According to the passage, what might make people lose the right of using their eyes?A．The modem means of transportation. B．A bird’s-eye view of the world.C．The unclear sight from the vehicles. D．The fast-paced life style.69. From the passage, we know traveling at high speeds means _______.A．appreciating beautiful scenery B．experiencing life skillsC．focusing on the next destination D．feeling physical tiredness70. What does the author intend to tell us?A．Modem transportation devices have replaced legs.B．Traveling makes the world a small place.C．Human’s history develops very fast.D．The best way to travel is on foot.七选五Cold-Hearted YouthLaughter is a great thing. It has been proven to be physically and mentally effective on people ___71___. The reason for this is that people are laughing at the wrong things, particularly the youth. They find humor in things that people wouldn’t have generally found funny in the past. More and more young people respond to negative situations with laughter. Their responses to negative situations are becoming increasingly worrying, and this needs to be addressed.___72___ You can find hundreds of clips showing people falling off from things or getting hurt so badly that they break bones or suffer major injuries. Unfortunately, not rushing to their aid or calling an ambulance, they double over in laughter.To make matters worse, many teens laugh not just at physical accidents; they are also failing to take important topics seriously, such as the government or the state of our world. Children and teens nowadays show alarming indifference and insensitivity toward things that should arouse serious thought and emotion. ___73___ The sad thing is, it’s not their fault.Teaching youth that violence is okay and entertaining, or teaching them that the state of our world is not a big deal is telling them not to be caring and concerned. They are the next generation, and they’re not going to be able to contribute to be world if important issues do not matter to them anymore. ___74___.As a whole, society heeds to concentrate on bringing back natural human emotion and easing up on the confirmation of indifference, violence, and carelessness. ___75___.A. Search online for videos of some accidents.B. Don’t try to laugh by putting someone else down.C. However, laughter can be bad, and is increasingly becoming so.D. We are humans, not cold machines, and we need to start acting that way.E. How can they help others when they don’t take their physical or emotional pain seriously?F. The fact that the youth are always laughing at the wrong things have nothing to with education.G. I believe youth are laughing at serious subjects because they think important topics don’t matter to them anymore.第四部分书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）假如你是红星中学高三（1）班的学生李华，你将参加学校举行的英语口语，请根据以下提示写一篇竞选稿。

The underlined word “inception” probably means _______.A. golden ageB. beginningC. boomingD. fading periodDThe past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists(人类学家). Descriptions like “Paleolithic(旧石器时代)Man”，“Neolithic(新石器时代)Man”, etc, neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twenty-first century, they will surely choose the label “Legless Man”. Histories of the time will go something like this:“In the twenty-first century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of very huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were ruined by the presence of large car parks.”The future history books might also record that we lost the right of using our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train, the unclear picture of the countryside constantly slides over the window. When you mention the most impressive place-names in the world, the typical 21st century traveler always says “I’ve been there.”—meaning“I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.”When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you skip all experience. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his cars and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.67. Anthropologists name man nowadays “Legless Man” because _______.A．people prefer cars, buses and trains B．people travel without using legsC．lifts prevent people from walking D．people use their legs less and less68.

What does the author intend to tell us?A．Modem transportation devices have replaced legs.B．Traveling makes the world a small place.C．Human’s history develops very fast.D．The best way to travel is on foot.七选五Cold-Hearted YouthLaughter is a great thing. It has been proven to be physically and mentally effective on people ___71___. The reason for this is that people are laughing at the wrong things, particularly the youth. They find humor in things that people wouldn’t have generally found funny in the past. More and more young people respond to negative situations with laughter. Their responses to negative situations are becoming increasingly worrying, and this needs to be addressed.___72___ You can find hundreds of clips showing people falling off from things or getting hurt so badly that they break bones or suffer major injuries. Unfortunately, not rushing to their aid or calling an ambulance, they double over in laughter.To make matters worse, many teens laugh not just at physical accidents; they are also failing to take important topics seriously, such as the government or the state of our world. Children and teens nowadays show alarming indifference and insensitivity toward things that should arouse serious thought and emotion. ___73___ The sad thing is, it’s not their fault.Teaching youth that violence is okay and entertaining, or teaching them that the state of our world is not a big deal is telling them not to be caring and concerned. They are the next generation, and they’re not going to be able to contribute to be world if important issues do not matter to them anymore. ___74___.As a whole, society heeds to concentrate on bringing back natural human emotion and easing up on the confirmation of indifference, violence, and carelessness. ___75___.A. Search online for videos of some accidents.B. Don’t try to laugh by putting someone else down.C. However, laughter can be bad, and is increasingly becoming so.D.

This section of the Employee Handbook will tell you how to organize videos.Each Main street Movies store has three main sections:1.New Releases Wall.2.Film library.3.Video Games.New Releases Wall. Almost 70 percent of movie rentals are new releases, and that is the first place where most customers go when they enter the store. The center section of shelves on this wall holds Hottest Hits. When new titles come into the store, place them on this wall in alphabetical order. The shelves beside Hottest Hits are called Recent Releases. The New Releases Wall, including the Hottest Hits and Recent Releases shelves, holds about 350 titles.Film Library. The thousands of titles in the Film Library are organized into categories. The films within each category are displayed alphabetically. Here are the categories and their two-letterwith foreign language subtitles. A sticker on the back of each box tells which type of film it is.Video Game. All the video games in Main street Movies are arranged in alphabetical order. Although video games represent only a small percentage of our inventory(库存), they are stolen more often than any other type of goods in our store. Therefore, video games are never displayed on the shelves. Shelves in the Video Game section hold cardboard with pictures and information about each game. When a customer wants to rent a particular game, you then find the game from the locked case behind the counter.56. Whom do you think this passage is most probably addressed to?A．The readers in the store.B．The manager of the store.C．The customers in the store.D．The salespersons of the store.57. In which order are the new movies moved in the store?A．From Hottest Hits to Film Library to Recent Releases.B．From Film Library to Hottest Hits to Recent Releases.C．From Recent Releases to Film Library to Hottest Hits.D．From Hottest Hits to Recent Releases to Film Library.58. Why can’t video games be seen on the shelves?A．Because they’ve been sold out.B．Because they’re in the storehouse.C．Because they’re in a locked case behind the counter.D．Because they represent a small percentage of the inventory.59. How can a customer find a film with foreign language subtitles?A. Check the computer.B. Look at the back of the box.C. Check the center section.D. Watch a few minutes of the film.Hearing VoicesWould you like to be an actor, but aren’t the right age or physical type for the part? Don’t give up: there may be a place for you in the world of voice-acting.Twenty-year-old Rickey Collins brings Tucker Foley to like in the cartoon Danny Phantom. In addition to many appearances on television and in movies, Rickey is a voice-over actor, someone we hear but don’t see. Rickey has acted since he was 6, both on and off camera. After school, his grandmother-a manager and acting coach-helped his develop his skills by doing voice exercises and reading aloud.V oice-over actors do many kinds of acting. They are the voices of cartoon characters on television, in movies and video games, and for communicating toys. In films, they replace the foreign language conversation with English version. They create crowd noises, make commercials, act in radio plays, and record telephone instructions and public announcements. They read books on tape and even record museum tours.Like other actors, voice-over actors need to understand scripts, interpret characters, and breathe correctly. They have to master voice techniques, such as pacing, volume, and range. Sometimes they use their normal voices; other times they change their voices to create different characters or noises. Rickey receives his Danny Phantom scripts only a few days before he tapes each episode(集). He rites helpful notes on the script to guide himself on speaking his part.Rickey practices, then tapes at the recording studio. He and the other cast members sit in a soundproof booth, acting out their characters as they read their lines into the microphones. “The cartoon gets created after we record the words, so we have to imagine everything in our mind,” days Rickey. Later, the recorded words, music, and sound effects are combined with the cartoon art to create the cartoon we enjoy on TV. Sound interesting? Maybe you can have a “voice” in acting after all!60. The sentence underlined in paragraph 2 means _______.A. Rickey draws the characterB. Rickey names Tucker FoleyC. Rickey makes the character seem realD. Rickey decides the future of Tucker Foley61. From the passage we can infer that _______.A. it’s very complex to become a cartoon film voice-over actorB. Rickey has been involved with acting most of his lifeC. Rickey was an actor when he was sixD. many people have nice voices62. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that _______.A. a voice-over actor works very hardB. being a voice-over actor needs talentsC. being a voice-over actor requires skillsD. a voice-over actor has many techniques63. The information in this article would be most valuable to people _______.A. who want to build a career around their voicesB. who need to develop their stage-acting skillsC. who want to understand scriptwritingD. who need to practice voice exercisesBasketball, Past and PresentIn 1891, a teacher invented a new exercise in Springfield, Massachusetts. A particularly cold winter meant that Dr. James Naismith’s students co u ldn’t exercise outdoors, and he needed to find a way that would both entertain them and make sure they got enough exercise. He nailed a peach basket up at one end of the gym and began to develop the rules of what is now one of the most popular sports in the world: basketball.As colleges began to adopt the game at the turn of the 20th century, basketball undertook a number of rapid changes. Five-person teams became the norm around 1898. Metal hoops replaced peach baskets in 1906. Though it was short lived, the first basketball league was formed in 1898. Under the direction of President Roosevelt, in the 1930s college sports were reorganized to change the rules, largely to prevent injury to players. This organization became the National Collegiate Athletic Association, or NCCA. The first professional league, later to become the National Basketball Association, or NBA, was put together in 1948.The game as we know it is still standardized very carefully. In the NBA and the NCAA, games are played for four quarters of 12 minutes each. A regulation court is 94 feet by 50 feet, though international basketball leagues sometimes use a somewhat smaller court. It has been suggested that because the athleticism of professional players has increased so much since 1891 the sport might be best served by increasing court size, though this change seems unlikely given the large amount of money that would be required to improve courts.Outside of the professional and collegiate leagues, there seems to be no end to the introduction of new varieties of basketball from very corner of the world: water basketball, wheelchair basketball, even a new form called slamball(极限篮球). One might even say that Dr. James Naismit h’s creative achievement to sport exists in each one. And the basketball is significant for another reason: women have been playing almost since its inception: the first game of women’s basketball was played in 1891, the same year the sport was invented.64. What purpose does the first paragraph serve?A. To provide the origin of basketball.B. To stress the importance of basketball.C. To offer basic knowledge of basketball.D. To catch the reader’s attention by telling a story.65. Which of the following statements reflects the basketball inventor’s spirit?A. Basketball is now making a large profit.B. Many new, creative varieties of basketball exits.C. Americans are still very successful at basketball.D. Basketball has become an international sport now.66. The underlined word “inception” probably means _______.A. golden ageB. beginningC. boomingD. fading periodThe past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists(人类学家). Descriptions like “Paleolithi c(旧石器时代)Man”，“Neolithic(新石器时代)Man”, etc, neatly sum up whole periods.

This section of the Employee Handbook will tell you how to organize videos.Each Main street Movies store has three main sections:1.New Releases Wall.2.Film library.3.Video Games.New Releases Wall. Almost 70 percent of movie rentals are new releases, and that is the first place where most customers go when they enter the store. The center section of shelves on this wall holds Hottest Hits. When new titles come into the store, place them on this wall in alphabetical order. The shelves beside Hottest Hits are called Recent Releases. The New Releases Wall, including the Hottest Hits and Recent Releases shelves, holds about 350 titles.Film Library. The thousands of titles in the Film Library are organized into categories. The films within each category are displayed alphabetically. Here are the categories and their two-letterwith foreign language subtitles. A sticker on the back of each box tells which type of film it is.Video Game. All the video games in Main street Movies are arranged in alphabetical order. Although video games represent only a small percentage of our inventory(库存), they are stolen more often than any other type of goods in our store. Therefore, video games are never displayed on the shelves. Shelves in the Video Game section hold cardboard with pictures and information about each game. When a customer wants to rent a particular game, you then find the game from the locked case behind the counter.56. Whom do you think this passage is most probably addressed to?A．The readers in the store.B．The manager of the store.C．The customers in the store.D．The salespersons of the store.57. In which order are the new movies moved in the store?A．From Hottest Hits to Film Library to Recent Releases.B．From Film Library to Hottest Hits to Recent Releases.C．From Recent Releases to Film Library to Hottest Hits.D．From Hottest Hits to Recent Releases to Film Library.58. Why can’t video games be seen on the shelves?A．Because they’ve been sold out.B．Because they’re in the storehouse.C．Because they’re in a locked case behind the counter.D．Because they represent a small percentage of the inventory.59. How can a customer find a film with foreign language subtitles?A. Check the computer.B. Look at the back of the box.C. Check the center section.D. Watch a few minutes of the film.Hearing VoicesWould you like to be an actor, but aren’t the right age or physical type for the part? Don’t give up: there may be a place for you in the world of voice-acting.Twenty-year-old Rickey Collins brings Tucker Foley to like in the cartoon Danny Phantom. In addition to many appearances on television and in movies, Rickey is a voice-over actor, someone we hear but don’t see. Rickey has acted since he was 6, both on and off camera. After school, his grandmother-a manager and acting coach-helped his develop his skills by doing voice exercises and reading aloud.V oice-over actors do many kinds of acting. They are the voices of cartoon characters on television, in movies and video games, and for communicating toys. In films, they replace the foreign language conversation with English version. They create crowd noises, make commercials, act in radio plays, and record telephone instructions and public announcements. They read books on tape and even record museum tours.Like other actors, voice-over actors need to understand scripts, interpret characters, and breathe correctly. They have to master voice techniques, such as pacing, volume, and range. Sometimes they use their normal voices; other times they change their voices to create different characters or noises. Rickey receives his Danny Phantom scripts only a few days before he tapes each episode(集). He rites helpful notes on the script to guide himself on speaking his part.Rickey practices, then tapes at the recording studio. He and the other cast members sit in a soundproof booth, acting out their characters as they read their lines into the microphones. “The cartoon gets created after we record the words, so we have to imagine everything in our mind,” days Rickey. Later, the recorded words, music, and sound effects are combined with the cartoon art to create the cartoon we enjoy on TV. Sound interesting? Maybe you can have a “voice” in acting after all!60. The sentence underlined in paragraph 2 means _______.A. Rickey draws the characterB. Rickey names Tucker FoleyC. Rickey makes the character seem realD. Rickey decides the future of Tucker Foley61. From the passage we can infer that _______.A. it’s very complex to become a cartoon film voice-over actorB. Rickey has been involved with acting most of his lifeC. Rickey was an actor when he was sixD. many people have nice voices62. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that _______.A. a voice-over actor works very hardB. being a voice-over actor needs talentsC. being a voice-over actor requires skillsD. a voice-over actor has many techniques63. The information in this article would be most valuable to people _______.A. who want to build a career around their voicesB. who need to develop their stage-acting skillsC. who want to understand scriptwritingD. who need to practice voice exercisesBasketball, Past and PresentIn 1891, a teacher invented a new exercise in Springfield, Massachusetts. A particularly cold winter meant that Dr. James Naismith’s students co u ldn’t exercise outdoors, and he needed to find a way that would both entertain them and make sure they got enough exercise. He nailed a peach basket up at one end of the gym and began to develop the rules of what is now one of the most popular sports in the world: basketball.As colleges began to adopt the game at the turn of the 20th century, basketball undertook a number of rapid changes. Five-person teams became the norm around 1898. Metal hoops replaced peach baskets in 1906. Though it was short lived, the first basketball league was formed in 1898. Under the direction of President Roosevelt, in the 1930s college sports were reorganized to change the rules, largely to prevent injury to players. This organization became the National Collegiate Athletic Association, or NCCA. The first professional league, later to become the National Basketball Association, or NBA, was put together in 1948.The game as we know it is still standardized very carefully. In the NBA and the NCAA, games are played for four quarters of 12 minutes each. A regulation court is 94 feet by 50 feet, though international basketball leagues sometimes use a somewhat smaller court. It has been suggested that because the athleticism of professional players has increased so much since 1891 the sport might be best served by increasing court size, though this change seems unlikely given the large amount of money that would be required to improve courts.Outside of the professional and collegiate leagues, there seems to be no end to the introduction of new varieties of basketball from very corner of the world: water basketball, wheelchair basketball, even a new form called slamball(极限篮球). One might even say that Dr. James Naismit h’s creative achievement to sport exists in each one. And the basketball is significant for another reason: women have been playing almost since its inception: the first game of women’s basketball was played in 1891, the same year the sport was invented.64. What purpose does the first paragraph serve?A. To provide the origin of basketball.B. To stress the importance of basketball.C. To offer basic knowledge of basketball.D. To catch the reader’s attention by telling a story.65. Which of the following statements reflects the basketball inventor’s spirit?A. Basketball is now making a large profit.B. Many new, creative varieties of basketball exits.C. Americans are still very successful at basketball.D. Basketball has become an international sport now.66. The underlined word “inception” probably means _______.A. golden ageB. beginningC. boomingD. fading periodThe past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists(人类学家). Descriptions like “Paleolithi c(旧石器时代)Man”，“Neolithic(新石器时代)Man”, etc, neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twenty-first century, they will surely choose the label “Legless Man”. Histories of the time will go something like this:“In the twenty-first century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of very huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were ruined by the presence of lar ge car parks.”The future history books might also record that we lost the right of using our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train, the unclear picture of the countryside constantly slides over the window. When you mention the most impressive place-names in the world, the typical 21st century traveler always says “I’ve been there.”—meaning“I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.”When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you skip all experience. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his cars and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.67. Anthropologists name man nowadays “Legless Man” because _______.A．people prefer cars, buses and trains B．people travel without using legsC．lifts prevent people from walking D．people use their legs less and less68. According to the passage, what might make people lose the right of using their eyes?A．The modem means of transportation. B．A bird’s-eye view of the world.C．The unclear sight from the vehicles. D．The fast-paced life style.69. From the passage, we know traveling at high speeds means _______.A．appreciating beautiful scenery B．experiencing life skillsC．focusing on the next destination D．feeling physical tiredness70. What does the author intend to tell us?A．Modem transportation devices have replaced legs.B．Traveling makes the world a small place.C．Human’s history develops very fast.D．The best way to travel is on foot.七选五Cold-Hearted YouthLaughter is a great thing. It has been proven to be physically and mentally effective on people ___71___. The reason for this is that people are laughing at the wrong things, particularly the youth. They find humor in things that people wouldn’t have generally found funny in the past. More and more young people respond to negative situations with laughter. Their responses to negative situations are becoming increasingly worrying, and this needs to be addressed.___72___ You can find hundreds of clips showing people falling off from things or getting hurt so badly that they break bones or suffer major injuries. Unfortunately, not rushing to their aid or calling an ambulance, they double over in laughter.To make matters worse, many teens laugh not just at physical accidents; they are also failing to take important topics seriously, such as the government or the state of our world. Children and teens nowadays show alarming indifference and insensitivity toward things that should arouse serious thought and emotion. ___73___ The sad thing is, it’s not their fault.Teaching youth that violence is okay and entertaining, or teaching them that the state of our world is not a big deal is telling them not to be caring and concerned. They are the next generation, and they’re not going to be able to contribute to be world if important issues do not matter to them anymore. ___74___.As a whole, society heeds to concentrate on bringing back natural human emotion and easing up on the confirmation of indifference, violence, and carelessness. ___75___.A. Search online for videos of some accidents.B. Don’t try to laugh by putting someone else down.C. However, laughter can be bad, and is increasingly becoming so.D. We are humans, not cold machines, and we need to start acting that way.E. How can they help others when they don’t take their physical or emot ional pain seriously?F. The fact that the youth are always laughing at the wrong things have nothing to with education.G. I believe youth are laughing at serious subjects because they think important topics don’t matter to them anymore.第四部分书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）假如你是红星中学高三（1）班的学生李华，你将参加学校举行的英语口语，请根据以下提示写一篇竞选稿。

Minnie was the funniest-looking dog I'd ever seen by far. Her body looked like a sausage. Her hair was too thin to 31 her body. Her eyes always seemed sur prised, and her tail was so short that it looked like a rat’s tail.She looked so strange that her 32 didn’t want her any more. She was brought to the centre. But I thought, “Minnie was kind and sweet. No one should laugh at her strange looking.” So I gave Minnie a good bath and 33 her in the newspaper: “Funny-looking dog, kind and sweet, needs loving 34 .”Later, a boy called me, but I warned him that Minnie was 35 . However, the boy told me that his grandfather’s sixteen-year-old dog had just died. They wanted to keep Minnie very much. Hearing these words, I said that they could take Minnie away. I combed (梳) her hair, and gave her a good bath. Then we waited for them to arrive.At last, an old car stopped in front of the pet rescue centre. Two kids 36 to the door. They put Minnie into their arms and rushed out to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see his reaction (反应).Inside the car, the grandfather put Minnie in his arms and 37 her soft hair. Shelooked very relaxed and happy. “She’s perfect, and I like her!” the old man said. I was 38 that Minnie had found a good owner. Just at that time, I saw that the grandfather’s eyes were a milky white color—he was blind.After that summer vacation, I missed Minnie so much. So I went back to the grandfather’s house.

We saw a boy in old clothes and shoes. David looked around and smiled, hoping somebody would 31 back. Nobody did. He kept on smiling anyway.I held my breath, hoping Mrs. Parmele wouldn’t notice the empty 32 next to mine. She did, and pointed him in that direction. He looked over at me as he sat down, but I looked away.By the end of his first week, David was at the bottom of our school’s social ladder. “It’s his own fault,”I told my mother one evening at dinner. “He 33 even knows how to count.”As I ate lunch with him the next day and listened to him, however, I realized that David was very pleasant to be around. After lunch, I 34 that I would be David’s friend.One night, as Mother tucked me into bed, I said, “Mom, tomorrow is David’s birthday, and he’s not going to get anything. Nobody even cares.”“Don’t worry,” Mom said as she kissed me goodnight. “I’m sure everything will be 35 .”At breakfast the next morning, I said I wasn’t feeling well.“How would you like it if your only friend didn’t show up on your birthday?”Mother asked gently. I thought it over for a moment and then kissed her goodbye.I wished David a happy birthday first thing in the morning, and his embarrassed smile showed me that he was glad I had 36 .By mid-afternoon I had almost decided that birthdays weren’t that 37 . Then, as Mrs. Parmele was writing on the blackboard, I heard a familiar voice singing the birthday song.Moments later, Mother came through the door with a tray(托盘) of cupcakes. She was also taking a 38 in her hand.Mrs. Parmele joined in. Mother found David looking like a deer in car headlights. She put the cupcakes and the gift on his desk and said, “Happy birthday, David.”My friend kindly shared his cupcakes with the class, taking the tray from desk to desk. I caught Mother 39 me. She smiled and winked(使眼色).David Evans moved on shortly thereafter, and I never heard from him again.

It became 32 that I was not the best any more, but my parents still held on to their hope and forced me to try hard. To their disappointment, I became less confident and didn’t want to work hard because, to me, there was no point in making any more 33 if I was unable to be number one. My grades began to fall; I never practiced the piano; I 34 painting. It was all because my motivation(动力) to do anything had dropped much.When high school started, I was at a new school in a new city. I 35 to get back my motivation and start over. So I picked up my ever favorite hobby again and enrolled(报名) myself in the art course. 36 , our art teacher, Mr. Grady, gave us more freedom with our art projects. He would always encourage us to realize our potential(潜力).My first painting was simply a bee sitting on a sunflower. I made every effort, but still found it hard to feel satisfied with it. I knew it was not 37 and could hardly get a good grade. But I showe d it to Mr. Grady. He didn’t 38 it in a rush. Instead, he gave me advice which only motivated me to work harder on it. For the first time I was happy with the 39 of my painting rather than disappointed about its imperfection. I finished all the other projects with higher grades, but I hung the first painting in my room at the end of the term.My parents thought 40 me to be number one would motivate me. Instead, it discouraged me much when I was not number one, for I had gone to school only to get a grade, not knowledge, let alone progress.

The moment was gone.Dinner, baths and phone calls 32 the hours until bedtime.“Come on, Darla, time for bed!” She raced past me up the stairs. Tired, I kissed her and tucked her in.“Mom, I forgot to give you something!” she said.“Give it to me in the morning.” I said. My 33 was gone. I could hardly stay cool.“You won’t have time in the morning!” she talked back quickly.“I’ll take time,”I answered. Sometimes no matter how hard I tried, time was never enough.She wasn’t ready to 34 up yet. “No, you won’t! It will be just like today when I told you to look at the chicken hawk. You didn’t 35 listen to what I said.”I was too tired to argue; she hit too 36 to the truth. “Good night!” I shut her door in anger.Later though, her gray-blue eyes filled my vision as I thought about how little time we really had until she was grown and gone. My husband asked me what was going on and I told him.“Maybe she was not asleep yet. Why don’t you 37 ?” he said.I followed his advice, 38 it was my own idea. I opened her door gently. In Darla’s hand I could see her paper all crumpled (弄皱的) up. She had torn into small pieces a big red heart with a poem she had written titled, “Why I Love My Mother?”Why I Love My MotherAlthough you’re busy, and you work so hard,You always take time to play with me,I love you Mommy,Because I am the biggest part of your busy day!Tears filled my eyes.
