Bake sales have proven to be highly profitable toward schools with young people because the start-up costs are very small. Allie，a Roslyn High School freshman , agrees that bake sales are needed for school supplies.“l think it’s wrong for schools to ban bake sales because a lot of schools need the money to be raised. Our school could really use the money for new uniforms.”Allie also commented on the bake sales apparent cause of child overweight. “I fe el that it is the student’s choice to eat the baked goods. lf they want it, let them have it．”Jessica，another Roslyn High School freshman, had a different opinion.“I feel that children can not always stay away from items such as cupcakes. It might be better if the amount of bake sales were limited, and only allowed students to buy one item.”New York Education advisors are having trouble coming up with substitute product for students to sell. A plan of advertising healthier foods has come into play. However the department needs to consider if students will go for items like vegetables. Allie and Jessica don’t think so.“Students might not like the healthier foods. This way, the schools are gaining less money.”Allie shares. Another plan to think about is the idea of not selling food products altogether. Alternate programs are being conducted throughout New York schools，such as walk-a-thons, as a healthy way for students to earn money for their schools．21．The new “wellness”policy is declared in order to_______．A. help schools out of budget difficultiesB. reduce child overweight caused by bake foodC. help students save money spent on foodD. reduce the price of bake food sold in schools22.

According to Jessica, the cupcakes____________A. don’t belong to the bake salesB. shouldn’t be banned at schoolC. mustn’t be sold at schoolsD. can be fully replaced by vegetables24. Which is both healthy and profitable way for schools to earn money?A. The bake sales.B. The vegetables salesC. The walk-a-thons.D. The food product sales．25. We can infer from the passage that schools in New York always______.A. sell baked food to studentsB. free students to choose foodC. find ways to earn moneyD. offer chances to earn moneyBGreg Woodburn，a student at the University of Southern California, spends a lot of time cleaning sneakers once belonging to others. Soon the shoes will have new owners: under privileged children in the United States and 20 other countries, thanks to Woodburn’s Share Our Soles( SOS) charity.A high school track star in the beach town of Ventura, Woodburn was once sidelined for months with foot injuries.“I started thinking about all the things I got from running---the health benefits, the friendships，the confidence,”he says.“And I realized there are children who don’t even have shoes.” Woodburn gathered up his own slightly worn sneakers，then put out a call to teammates．His goal was to have 100 pairs by Christmas ．When the count climbed to more than 500 pairs, (“everything snowballed,”he says) he decided to turn the shoe drive into a year-round effort.Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes and the local sporting goods store and from door-to-door pickups. Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools and area races. To date, SOS has collected and donated more than 3000 pairs.In just under three years，Woodburn has started three chapters of Share Our Soles：the original in Ventura, another at USC ,and one at the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts last January，when a student there wrote asking to get involved．The organization’s website, , keeps and distributes sneakers and sells wrist bands and socks(the money earned from that goes toward new shoes and socks for children)．26.

His 5 proved fruitless.When he 6 replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the cases, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses, having 7 him ￡20 that very morning, were heading for China! He had to drive home 8 .Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to give a report on Sunday night at my grandfather’s church, 9 Grandpa and his family also attended.“But most of all,” he said, “I m ust thank you for the 10 you sent last year. You see, the bandits(土匪) had just 11 through the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses.

I want to thank you for being a part of that!”The people listened, 18 for the miraculous glasses. But the director surely must have 19 their church with another, they thought.

On the contrary, a lack of such playin g can create stress for both children and parents, and it also cause obesity (肥胖) when children spend too much time sitting in front of educational videos. The report notes lack of playing could even lead to depression in many children.The reports thinks the lack of playtime lies in the fact that parents want to have super – smartchildren and safe places for children to play is decreasing. A balance between free playing and education activates should be struck, the report sates.“In the current environmen t, where so many parents feel pressure to be super parents, I believe this message is an important one,” said Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg, the report’s lead author and a pediatrician (小儿科医师) at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.Noted pediatrician, author, and presenter of cable TV’s “What Every Baby Knows,” DR. T. Betty Brazeltion agreed. Children with structured activities are missing the chance to dream, to make their own world work the way they want it. That to me is a very important part of childhood. 21．From the passage we can see that today’s children really need more .A．enrichment activities B．conventional playtimeC．structured activities D．educational activities22．Which of the following is a proper word to describe today’s children?A．Dull. B．Busy. C．Happy. D．Free. 23．According to the report, the balance between is important for a child.A．structured activities and unstructured activitiesB．educational videos and recess (休息) timeC．free playtime and traditional playtimeD．enrichment activities and social activities24．Dr. T. Berry Brazelton mainly emphasizes in the last paragraph.A．children’s ability to dreamB．the roles of structured activitiesC．the important activities in his childhoodD．the harm of too many structured activities25．It can be inferred from the passage that .A．children given a lot of unstructured activates can be more creativeB．get – smart videos and enrichment can create super childrenC．there is a competition among parents to be super parentsD．children obesity is mainly caused by lack of playtimeB“China is expected to complete its first exploration (探索) of the moon in and will found a moon base just as we did on the North and South Poles,” Ouyang Ziyuan, head of Ch ina's moon exploration program, promised during national science and technology week.After its first man in space, China plans a space laboratory, a lunar orbiter to look for valuable elements and minerals, robot landings on the moon and then the human touchdown.The price of space exploration is enormous. Russia and the US, the only two countries to have achieved manned flight, are struggling to keep their new investment, the international space station.But China, which has a long tradition in physics, mathematics and engineering, finds its doctoral graduates welcomed in the US and Europe for decades. And it has been able to learn from 40 years of pioneering successes and mistakes by the USSR and the USA.Space flight is a gamble and the stakes (赌注) are high. If successful, China could become a member of the world's most exclusive club, set up a second home on the moon and get a powerful hand at the strategic bargaining table.Two designers from the Shenzhou III project said that 12 astronauts now are undergoing intensive training. One more unmanned space flight is planned before the first manned launch.Experts say that the Shenzhou spacecraft already provides China with a space vehicle capable of mounting（发起）a lunar program. Chinese scientists have also predicted that Mars will be the next target after the moon.26．According to Ouyang Ziyuan ________.A．China has founded a base on the moonB．China has founded one base on the North and South PolesC．China will set up a base on the moon inD．China has already finished founding a moon base27．The underlined word “touchdown” in the second paragraph means “________”.A．landing B．relation C．connection D．behaviour 28．Which one of the following is NOT right according to this passage?A．A second home is going to be built on the moon in .B．China's first man has landed the moon in space.C．People from only two countries have been to the moon till now.D．Twelve Chinese astronauts are being trained for the manned flight to the moon. 29．We think that the Chinese astronaut will succeed in landing the moon in because ________.A．China will ask for help from the USSR and the USAB．two countries have set up a space station on the moonC．China has a large population in the worldD．China has its tradition technology and advanced scientists30．We can infer from this passage that .A．China’s robot landing in the moon has been successfulB．the USSR and the USA don’t allow Chinese people to land on the moonC．Chinese scientists show great interest in exploring Mars nowD．it is impossible for the Chinese people to land on the moonNew wordsNew phrasesNew sentences参考答案1—5 DABBC 6—10 ADAAC 11—15 BDABC 16—20 DDBAC21—25 BBADA 26—30 CABDC高考期末总复习25分钟限时阅读天天练三第一部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）A gray African goose stood at the back of my father’s t ruck，staring into the wide shiny bumper(保险杠)--completely attracted by the image he saw there.

Then the telephone rings，you say hello, and the drama starts. Theperson on the other end has a depressing〔令人沮丧的〕tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. Yon are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when t hey make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others’pity or respect.When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When t he dagger〔匕首〕of a negative person is put in you. you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down.Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker，or relative. In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out-your anger back to fl negative person，but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to〔附着〕you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.21. The purpose of the first paragraph is to.A. make a comparisonB. offer an evidenceC. introduce a topicD. describe a daily scene22. How can negative people have effect on us?A. By influencing our emotion.B. By telling US the nature of life.C. By changing our way of thinking.D. By comparing their attitude to life with ours.23. Some negative people base their happiness on.A. other people’s pity for themB. making other people unhappyC. building up a positive attitudeD. other people’s respect for t hem24. According to the passage，to reduce negative people’s influence on us，we are advised.A. to change negative people’s attitude to lifeB. to show our dissatisfaction to negative peopleC. to make negative people feel ashamed of themselvesD. to communicate with negative people as little as possible25. What can we learn about negativity?A. It s effect can last.B. Its effect can be completely avoided.C. It hardly happens among family members.D.

But what about really young filmmakers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t, strictly speaking, even adults?They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Films Festival, tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy: Lincoln Center. Complete with “red carpet〞interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18.“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids,〞said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. “We want to make this a national event,〞Ms. Gardner added.The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B.B. King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005. “A lot of the material is really mature,〞Ms. Gardner said, talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training group. “The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke.〞Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants’ feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and full-length film whose title is Pressures.21.

At the end of this film festival, there will be ____.A. various awardsB. “red carpet〞interviewsC. an open receptionD. a concert at Lincoln CenterBFederal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergence alert (警报) system using text messages delivered to cell phones.Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry's trade association, CTIA, estimates〔估计〕more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month.The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvements to the nation's emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies."The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies," FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.Participation in the alert system by carriers –telecommunications companies is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules.The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a terrorist attack or natural disaster. The second would involve "approaching threats," which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction (绑架) emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.The service could be in place by 2010.26. What is the purpose of the approved plan?A. To warn people of emergencies via messages.B. To popularize the use of cell phones.C. To estimate the monthly number of messages.D. To promote the wireless industry.27. The improvement to the present system is in the charge of ____.A. CTIAB. the Warning Alert and Response NetworkC. FCCD. federal regulators28.

Which of the following is true of cell phone users?A. They must accept the alert service.B. They may enjoy the alert service for free.C. They must send the alerts to othersD.

号顿市安谧阳光实验学校高考总复习25分钟限时阅读天天练--第50 天第一部分：阅读表达（共15分） ks5uThe hospital burn unit is a popular place on the day after Thanksgiving.I found that out three years ago, when my 18-month-old daughter toucheda radiator pipe while playing around our friends' farmhouse. Instead of feasting on leftover stuffing, I rushed my child as she screamed to hospital. Instead of getting a jump on my Christmas shopping, I learned how to take care of second-degree burns.Our story had a happy ending. With weeks of twice-daily treatments at Mommy and Papa's kitchen-table burn clinic, my daughter's hands healed. But other children we saw at the outpatient burn clinic weren't so lucky.I saw hands _____________________, a mouth that would never smile straight, a scalp that would never grow hair. All the parents had stories of accidents as easy as ours: a cup of tea knocked from a side table, a tumble (摔倒) into a space heater. "Heaters and soup," one veteran nurse told me at the hospital. "That's all it is. Heaters and soup."Most of the injuries were to hands and wrists, and most came from contact with hot liquids or from touching hot objects. Not only do small children not realize the danger posed by hot objects; their skin is much thinner than that of adults. They burn more quickly, and the burns tend to be deeper and more severe.Traditional fire safety education focused on preventing fires. The number of children injured by playing with fire has declined substantially when the Consumer Product Safety Commission required that cigarette lighters be child-resistant. "We know people know about smoke alarms," says Chrissy, program manager for Safe Kids USA, a nonprofit that works to reduce childhood injuries. Now, fire safety experts hope that public education efforts will turn to burns that can be just as terrible as injuries caused by flame.1. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?People used to be warned of the fire burns.2. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence．(within 10 words)3. What is the best title for this passage? (within 10 words)4. For what purpose does the author mention “a cup of tea” or “a tumbleinto a space heater” in Paragraph 2?(within 10 words)5.

But recently big changes have seen these traditional publications try to fit the modern world. After 221 years, The Times （《泰晤士报》） has changed its size to become much smaller. In fact, the paper has cut its size in half from a broadsheet to tabloid.In Britain the newspaper market is divided between the larger broadsheets and the smaller tabloids. These terms refer to the size of the papers’ pages, but there is also a clear difference in content. Broadsheets such as the Times, the Guardian （《卫报》） and Daily Telegraph （《每日电讯报》） are serious papers. They cover a broad range of political, economic and international issues. Their stories are also reasonably long and use quite formal language.Tabloids have far more stories about less serious issues such as celebrities’（名人） love lives. Their stories are shorter and use more simple language. Tabloids often have bigger pictures. Britain’s best-selling newspaper, the Sun, is a tabloid and has a naked （裸体的） girl on page three every day.By changing to the size of a tabloid, the Times is following in the footsteps of a less famous broadsheet paper the Independent （《报》）. It changed to tabloid last year and saw its sales increase greatly. Although both papers have switched to the smaller size, the content of the papers has remained the same. They are both still serious papers. The two papers claim that people find the smaller size easier to handle when they travel to work on the bus or the train in the morning. Instead of calling the new style of their paper tabloid, the paper says its new size is “compact” （紧凑型）.11. In which year was The Times born?A. 1782B. 1785C. 1788D. 178612. Which is the most correct statement?A. Broadsheets are larger in size while tabloids are smaller.B. Tabloids are less serious than broadsheets.C. Broadsheets contain more news than tabloids.D. They are different in size, content and the style of language.13. In which of the following newspapers would you find more news about the personal life of the famous soccer star Beckham?A. The Sun B. The Times C. The Independent D. The Guardian14. According to the passage, we can infer the main reason for The Times' changing into the tabloid is that_____.A. it wants to become convenient for people to carry.B. it wants to increase its circulation （发行量）.C. it intends to copy what The Independent has done.D. it is unlikely to stay in business if it does not change.15. Which of the following statements is true according to the given information?A. There are more tabloids than broadsheets in Britain at present.B. After the change, there will be no differences between The Sun and The Times.C. Although The Times has cut its size, it remains a serious paper.D.

The roots of this form of affection can be traced back to primitive times, when mothers fondled their children, much as mothers do today.Much later, in the sixth century, society apparently accepted the custom of kissing between adults as an expression of their affection. Not surprisingly, France first accepted kissing in courtship（求爱）. There, figure dancing was popular, and each dance was sealed with a kiss.The custom of kissing swept from France through Europe to Russia, whereRussian nobility loved to imitate the French. Eventually, the kiss was incorporated into marriage ceremonies, and today lip-locks couples into sweet matrimony.The custom of kissing today, as well as in ancient times, serves to pay homage to another. Early Romans kissed each other on the mouth or on the eyes to greet one another in a manner they thought to be dignified. One Roman emperor even ranked a person's importance by the body part he was allowed to kiss. He allowed important nobles to kiss his lips, less important ones to kiss his hands, and the least important ones to kiss his feet.In Russia, the highest sign of recognition from the Crown meant a kiss from the Tsar himself. Today, natives of many African tribes pay homage to their Chief by kissing the ground over which he has walked.21. What’s mainly talked about in the passage?A. The way to express love and respect.B. The expression of affection.C. The custom of kissing.D. The function of kissing.22. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “homage” in the 4th paragraph？A. recognitionB. respectC. importanceD. loyalty23. It can be learned from the passage that ___________.A. kissing is a widely accepted way to show love and affectionB. kissing used to be a proper way to show love on the wedding ceremonyC. kissing is a widely accepted way of greeting in the worldD. kissing from the Tsar is only sign of being accepted from the Crown24. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. It was France that made the custom of kissing go to the whole world.B. Early Africans kissed each other on the mouth or on the eyes to greet one another.C. One Roman emperor allowed important nobles to kiss his nose.D. Russian nobility followed the custom of kissing from the French.25. We can infer from the passage that __________.A. mothers created the custom of kissingB. kissing means differently on different occasionsC. figure dancing was usually sealed with a kiss in RussiaD. society found it hard to accept kissing in public in the sixth centuryBDo you know about a series of books that say they are “for dummies”? These American self-help books have been translated into more than thirty-nine languages including Chinese, Arabic, Russian, French, German, Greek and Spanish.“Dummy” is a word for a stupid person. The dummies books are not really for stupid people. They are designed to show people how to do something they may never have tried before, like painting a house or learning a language. The books all say in a funny way that they are for dummies, such as World History for Dummies, Rabbits for Dummies, Chinese Cooking for Dummies, and Wedding Planning for Dummies. The first such book, DOS for Dummies, was published in 1991. It helped people learn how to use the DOS operating system for computers. Since then, more than one hundred fifty million dummies books have been sold.The dummies. com website explains the idea behind the books. It says that they show that people can be taught to do anything. First they can make fun ofideas that are difficult to understand. Then they show how the information can be interesting and easy. The publishers say that the books do not provide more information than necessary. They give readers just enough information to do what they want. They say that the dummies books give the best and easiest way to do something. And the books use simple and easy language.There are more than one thousand different dummies books. A report in New York Times says that the top-selling dummies books are those that explain technology and personal finance.The publishers say that the best-selling dummies books are those providing information many people need---like information about diseases, education and cooking. People interested in opera, car repair and wine can also find dummies books to help them. And there are even more dummies books to come.

It's not the Hulk or Iron man hitting someone across a room, but the catchy beat of the music in Disney's latest TV movie Camp Rock, which came out in the US on June 20. The show attracted more than 8.9 million viewers.So how does Camp Rock attract so many viewers? One reason is that it features the hugely popular boy band the Jonas Brothers, whom all the girls seem to adore.But what's the story?Connect Three is a rock group. One member, Shane Gray (Joe Jonas）needs to get rid of his bad boy rocker image, so he's sent by fellow band members Nate (Nick Jonas）and Jason (Kevin Jonas） to a music camp as a guest instructor（指导）. The idea is the camp will help him clean up his act.There he meets Mitchie Torres (Demi Lovato）, a teenage girl with an extraordinary voice and a driving ambition（志向）to be a pop singer. However, she can only afford to be at the expensive camp by helping her mom work in the mess hall (食堂）between classes.When Shane overhears Mitchie singing from behind closed doors, he sets out to find the girl with the beautiful voice.One group of teenagers was really eager to watch the movie. The kids took their positions on the floor to countdown to show time. One of them, Leah Karrels, 16, even sang the movie's theme（主题歌）, We Rock. She explained that she's seen the trailer (预告片） so many times she knows the words by heart.The girls cheered when the movie began, and for the next two hours the only time they got up was to run for chocolate ice cream cake from the freezer."I'm sure this is going to knock High School Musical off the shelves in stores. This is the next big thing," said Leah.21．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Camp Rock will come out on June, 20B．The Jonas Brothers is a boy band loved by girlsC．Shane Gray in the movie has bad boy image all the timeD．Leah Karrels has seen the TV movie many times22．We can conclude from the passage that .A．This summer only “Camp Rock” attracted young people very much B．The story is about a classic music group—Connect ThreeC．The main actress is a pop singer in the movieD．The passage doesn’t tell us the end of the story of the movie 23．It can be inferred from the passage thatA．Kids learn to countdown to show time after watching the movie B．Leah Karrels could sing the theme of the musicC．The girls loved the movie so much that they even hardly wanted to get upD．Leah Karrels believes the movie will be sold on the shelves in stores 24．Which is closest to the meaning of the underlined word “adore”?A．love B．look up to C．respect D．envy25．What’s the best title of the passage?A．Jonas Brothers B．The Story About Connect ThreeC．The Trailer Of Camp Rock D．Summer of ‘Rock’BEvery Christmas the giant tree in Rockefeller Center sparkles with thousands of lights. From the beginning, when construction workers raised the first one during the depths of the Depression, it has been a symbol of hope. Diana Abad, like most Americans, loved that tree.In 1999, however, Diana was writing her will. The 33-year-old woman from Staten Island, New York, was diagnosed with leukemia(白血病）and wanted to put her things in order. Doctors told her she had nine months to live.Her slim chance for survival lay in finding a bone marrow(骨髓）donor. The most likely source for a match is always among relatives -- but her family was tested and there was none.Then one day in February 2000, she got a call from the hospital saying that out of the four million people enrolled in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry, there was only one match. The potential donor was thinking about it. In March the donor agreed, and the transplant procedure was scheduled for March 27.On that day, a doctor came in with the marrow in a bag, and Diana remembers him saying: “This is it. If it doesn’t graft within four to six hours, nothing will bring you back.” Diana asked a priest (牧师）to give her last rite(祈祷）.Almost immediately after the two-hour procedure, she felt stronger. Doctors told her it looked like the graft had taken.Donors are anonymous, but when she was better, Diana sent a note through the Registry: “You don’t know the joy that I am experiencing,” she wrote. “I hope that one day we can meet a nd I can thank you in person.”It was several months before the donor replied. At first he didn’t even give his name. He was 34-year-old David Mason, and he lived in Dedham, Massachusetts. But eventually the two exchanged phone numbers and began to talk.Then unexpectedly and unannounced, he turned up at her door in Englishtown, New Jersey, on December 23. She says it was love at first sight. He says he didn’t feel it until they met the second time.That meeting began a long-distance romance that culminated(修成正果）under the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center in December 2004. That’s where David proposed(求婚）to Diana. She, of course, said yes. 26．Which of the following may be the title of the passage?A．Perfect Match B．Successful GraftC．Anonymous Donor D．Lucky Christmas Tree27．What can we know about the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center?A．It was planted by the local inhabitants of Rockefeller in the United States.B．Diana got saved under the Christmas tree and so loved it.C．Many Americans love the tree because it was raised during the depths of the depression.D．The tree is very tall and beautifully decorated by people at Christmas time.28．Which word can replace the underlined work enrolled in the fourth paragraph?A．searched B．found C．registered D．served29．It can be inferred from the passage that .A．leukemia is so serious a disease that nobody can survive in America B．patients who suffer from leukemia may feel very weakC．bone marrow transplant is very easy to carry out in AmericaD．the man donor knew Diana would become his wife in advance 30．Which of the following is true about their first meeting with each other?A．Diana met David at the hospital on the day when she was operated on.B．Diana went to David’s home in Dedha m in order to thank him in person.C．David and Diana fell in love with each other when they first met.D．David didn’t telephone Diana to inform her of the date of his visiting her.参考答案1—5.

Within the space of a month, two of the greatest were born: Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel.Handel’s father was a barber and a surgeon, which sounds like a strange combination today, but back then those occupations went hand in hand. Even though Handel was very interested in music, his father didn’t think that was a good way to earn a living, so he wanted his son to be a lawyer. The story goes that Handel smuggled a quiet piano into the house so that he could practice in secret.One day, Handel went along when his father went to shave a duke. While his father was working, Handel sat down and played the duke’s organ. The duke was so impressed that he convinced Handel’s father to let his son study music, and Handel finally got to learn how to compose.Handel soon discovered that what he liked most was opera. In fact, he was so passionate about opera that he even fought a duel (决斗) over it with one of his friends. Since Italy was the place to learn about opera composing, Handel went off to Italy to study. When he got home, he got a job as court composer for a German prince.Having landed such a wonderful job, Handel immediately asked his boss for time off. He wanted to go to England, where he’d heard that there weren’t nearly enough composers to satisfy t he British taste for Italian opera.After great success writing opera in London, Handel came back to Germany. Then fate played a funny trick on Handel and his boss. The Queen of England died, and it just so happened that the prince Handel worked for was next in line to the British throne. When he arrived in London as King George, followed Handel, his court composer in Germany.In addition to serving the King, Handel became one of the most successful opera composers of his time. And he also produced them and traveled all over Europe to hire the best singers. There are stories of battles with rival opera producers and of fights between rival singers. Handel apparently had quite a temper.If you ever go to London, look for Handel’s grave in Westminster Abbey, where there’s a wonderful monument to him.21.How did Handel begin to learn to compose?A.His father was sure of his future success.B.His performance impressed a duke.C.He begged his father to send him to Italy.D.He practiced hard and taught himself music.22. What does the underlined word “smuggled” mean in the passage?A. bought secretlyB. took secretlyC. carried in advanceD. possessed personally23.Why did Handel later settle down in Britain instead of Germany?A.Because he could find better jobs in London.B.Because he enjoyed greater fame in London.C.Because his boss became King of Britain and brought him along.D.Because London was a wonderful place to learn about opera.24.Which of the following words can NOT be used to describe Handel, as shown in the passage?A. bad-temperedB. talentedC. enthusiasticD. optimistic25. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?A.Handel was born in the same year with Bach.B.Many people worked both as a barber and a surgeon.C.Handel quit his job to learn about opera in Italy.D.Handel was buried in London and was built a monument.BNext time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation（感觉） of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions—those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.Psychologists have known that one person’s perception（感知） of another’s “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even beating evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’ conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.Feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form. The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when w e thinkabstractly,” says Bargh.26. According to Paragraph 1, a person’s emotion may be affected by ______.A. the visitors to his officeB. the psychology lessons he hasC. his physical feeling of coldnessD. the things he has bought online27. The autho r mentions Harlow’s experiment to show that ______.A. adults should develop social skillsB. babies need warm physical contactC. caregivers should be healthy adultsD. monkeys have social relationships28. In Bargh’s experiment, the students were asked t o ______.A. evaluate someone’s personalityB. write down their guessesC. fill out a personal information formD. hold coffee and cold drink alternatively29. We can infer from the passage that ______.A. abstract thinking does not come from physical experiencesB. feelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwideC. physical temperature affects how we see othersD. capable persons are often cold to others30.

号顿市安谧阳光实验学校高考总复习25分钟限时阅读天天练--第49 天第一部分：阅读表达（共15分） ks5uLife is a learning process, which involves happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others’. face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair(绝望), but these things are temporary and pass away.Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder. The only way to show our gratitude to enjoying success is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night __________. Nothing remains the same. We have only one choice: keep moving on in life and be hopeful.Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is: work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.1. What is life according to the text?

Since it touches almost every facet of our life, educated people need at least some acquaintance(了解) with its structure and operation. They should also have an understanding of the subculture in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are. An understanding of general characteristics of science as well as specific scientific concepts is easier to attain if one knows something about what the scientist is interested.This book is written for the intelligent student or lay person(外行) whose acquaintance with science is limited. We hope this book will lead readers to a broader view on scientific attitudes and a more realistic view of what science is, who scientists are, and what they do. It will give them an awareness and understanding of the relationship between science and our culture and an appreciation of the roles science may play in our culture.We have tried to present in this book an accurate and up-to-date picture of the scientific community and the people in it. The increasing role of women in the scientific subculture is not a unique incident but, rather, part of the trend evident in all fields of society as more women enter traditionally male-dominated fields and make significant contributions. We have adopted the policy of using plural(复数的) nouns and pronouns whenever possible and, when absolutely necessary, alternating he and she.This policy is far from being ideal, but it is at least an acknowledgment of the inadequacy(不合适) of our language in treating half of the human race equally.We have also tried to make the book entertaining as well as informative. Our approach is usually informal. We feel, as do many other scientists, that we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously. As the reader may observe, we see science as a delightful pastime rather than as a scary way to earn a living.6.We need to know about the structure and operation of science because ______.A. scientists live in almost every field of our lifeB. science affects almost every aspect of our lifeC. it is not easy to understand the scientists’ interestD. it is easier to understand general characteristics of science7. According to the passage, ‘scientific subculture’ probably means______.A. cultural groups that are formed by scientistsB. people whose knowledge of science is very limitedC. scientists who are not interested in cultureD. people who make good contributions to science8.The book mentioned in this passage is written to help people ______.A. to acquire more scientific knowledgeB. to know more about the scientists’ lifeC. to appreciate advanced scientific achievementsD. to better understand science and our culture9. Why do they choose to use plural nouns and pronouns in this book?A. To make the information accurate.B. To express the significant contributions.C. To show the equality of males and females.D. To indicate the key roles of women in science.10.This passage most probably is the ______ of a book.A. coverB. prefaceC. postscriptD. concluding part BEach year a million cows in Africa die from East Coast fever. The disease is spread by tick bites. Young cows are most at risk; they can die within days. Farmers and herders can lose up to half or more of their calves(小牛) to East Coast fever. The disease is widespread in eleven countries. And experts say it now threate ns ten million more animals.Researchers first developed an experimental vaccine(疫苗) against East Coast fever thirty years ago. The vaccine works by a process called "infection and treatment." The animals are infected with whole parasites(寄生虫) and treated with antibiotics(抗生素) at the same time. This keeps the disease from developing.Controlling East Coast fever has meant a better life in areas that have gotten the vaccine. For example, the vaccine has been available to a group of Maasai herders in northern Tanzania for about seven years. They used to lose three-fourths of their newborn calves each year. Now, most survive. As a result, many people have extra cattle to sell, and use the money to pay for school for their children.But making the vaccine more widely available -- especially in rural areas -- has been difficult. Farmers have been using supplies produced in the nineteen nineties. Recently there was a shortage. The International Livestock Research Institute made one million doses at the request of African officials. But that supply is only temporary. Another problem is that the vaccine must be kept extremely cold.Now, the nonprofit Global Alliance for Livestock Veterinary Medicines is trying to expand production and lower the cost. GALVmed spokesman Hameed Nuru says mobile phones have helped lower some barriers to distribution. "They now call the delivery agent who can now come and meet them at a particular place and do the vaccination for them."The vaccine is not cheap. But the herders get together to sell a bull and use the money to vaccinate all their animals. They understand that they are getting value for their money.11. What do we know about “East Coast fever” from this text?A. It’s a disease mainly among cows.B. Calves are more likely to survive it.C. It’s a disease among animals and humans.D. It’ll soon be spread to all over the world.12. How do the researchers deal with East Coast fever according to the text?A. They bought medicines against it.B. They used a kind of parasites to treat it.C. They made a kind of antibiotics for it.D. They developed a vaccine against it.13. How could the farmers get the vaccine according to the text?A. They are all given the vaccine for free.B. They need to buythe vaccine themselves.C. They could make the vaccine themselves.D. They need to place an order in advance.14. Why is it difficult for farmers to get the vaccine?A. The researchers do not have enough money to produce it.B. To transport the vaccine to the rural areas is a big problem.C. The vaccine is more and more expensive for farmers to afford.D. The supply of vaccine is not enough with storage another problem.15. From this text, we know ______.A. farmers in northern Tanzania live a better life thanks to the vaccineB. up to now one million doses of the vaccine has been madeC. the GALVmed has made great money by producing the vaccineD. mobiles phones helped farmers get the vaccine in time but cost more 语言知识点滴积累New wordsNew phrasesNew sentences参考答案。

于对区爱美学校专题限时训练(二十九) [时闻型阅读理解](限时：25分钟)(一)(NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a twoyearold girl in Manhattan said he didn't think twice before diving into the freezing East River.Tuesday's Daily News said 29yearold Julien Duret from France was the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.“I didn't think at all，” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast.I reacted very fast.”Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头) when he saw something falling into the water.He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. Immediately, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said.

An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers.Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.The rescue happened on the day before he left for France.

I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, 6 toward the woods. I could only see his back. He was obviously walking with a great 7 , trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he 8 into the woods, he came running out again, towards the house. I went back to make sandwiches, 9 that whatever task he had been doing was completed. Moments later, 10 , he was once again walking slowly toward the woods. This activity went on for an hour. 11 I couldn’t take it any longer, followed him on his journey and saw the most amazing 12 . Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up tothem.

And I saw a tiny deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from 16 , lift its head with great efforts to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boy’s hands. When the water was 17 , Billy jumped up to run back to the house to get more. It then became 18 to me.I stood on the edge of the woods watching the 19 boy working so hard to save another life.

Americans hold boththe fork and the knife in their right hands throughout the meal, so they continually change their forks to the left hand when they have to cut their meat. It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Americans busy changing their dinner sets, making a lot of noises.A few explanations for this American style are as follows:Americans are practical and efficient. Since most of us areright-handed, it is reasonable to keep our working tools at all times in our right hands that can use them most efficiently.Americans, the master of the New World are rebels. They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old World and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England. Americans are a restless kind. They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining.Forced to do so, they respond by “playing” with the silver.Whatever the reason for the practice, it is now certainly as American as apple pie. Europeans recognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of American innocence of form. Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but also on those of tradition. In Old World Dining, the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can serve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders (入侵者). However, such alertness(警觉) is out of place in the New World, as every American believes that this is the home of the brave. Americans juggle their silverware, perhaps, to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork is worth any number of them holding blades.21. Americans use _________ to hold their fork to pick up the salad.A. the right handB. the left handC. both handsD. either of the two hands22. As the masters of the New World, Americans use a different cutting method from that in the Old World to___________.A. show their independence of Mother EnglandB. show their disrespect to Mother EnglandC. add a new tradition to those in Mother EnglandD. show off their creativeness to Mother England23. In the sentence, the underlined word “juggle” probably means_______________ .A. holdB. play withC. pick upD. lay down24. Also in the last sentence, the two underlined “them” refer to ______________.A. AmericansB. EuropeansC. Americans and Europeans separatelyD. Europeans and Americans separately25. The following statements are true except that __________.A. European people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right handB. the zigzag eating method is related to American characteristicsC. the zigzag eating method has become an American featureD. European people will use the American method because of its efficiency BBirthdays often involve surprises. But this year's surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic.On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts discovered that one of the most recognizable portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake. This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like. "It's very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one," said an expert from Britain's National Portrait Gallery.The discovery comes after four months of testing using X-rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples. The experts from the gallery say the image —commonly known as the "Flower portrait"—was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeare's death. The art experts who work at the gallery say they also used modern chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture. These checks found traces of paint dating from about 1814. Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609."We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays," Tarnya Cooper, the gallery's curator (馆长), told the Associated President.The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays. It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company."There have always been questions about the painting," said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company. "Now we know thetruth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture."Two other images of Shakespeare, are also being studied as part of the investigation (调查) and the results will come out later this month._________________________________________________________________ __________.26. What makes the birthday of Shakespeare dramatic this year?A. It was found that he painted a portrait in 1814 instead of in 1609.B. The Flower portrait has been found to be a fake.C. Three portraits of Shakespeare are being tested to identify a real one.D. It was found that there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays around 1818 to 1840.27hich statement is True according to the passage?A. Portraits of Shakespeare are all unreliable.B. "Flower portrait " was a portrait of Shakespeare given to Desmond Flower.C. 1814 might be when the portrait was drawn.D. The Flower portrait is not often used as a cover for Shakespeare's play.28ow many methods were used to test the portrait?A. Not mentioned.B. TwoC. ThreeD. At least four.29The best title for this passage is _________.A. Birthdays often involve surprisesB. The surprise on the 441st birthday of ShakespeareC. One portrait of Shakespeare is a fakeD. How can we know Shakespeare's appearance?30Which is the best sentence to fill in the blank in the last paragraph?A. Soon we'll know which portrait is reliable.B.

He had to drive home 8 .Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to give a report on Sunday night at my grandfather’s church, 9 G randpa and his family also attended.“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the 10 you sent last year. You see, the bandits(土匪) had just 11 through the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses.

On the contrary, a lack of such playing can create stress for both children and parents, and it also cause obesity (肥胖) when children spend too much time sitting in front of educational videos. The report notes lack of playing could even lead to depression in many children.The reports thinks the lack of playtime lies in the fact that parents want to have super –smart children and safe places for children to play is decreasing. A balance between free playing and education activates should be struck, the report sates.“In the current environment, where so many parents feel pressure to besuper parents, I believe this message is an important one,” said Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg, the report’s lead author and a pediatrician (小儿科医师) at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.Noted pediatrician, author, and presenter of cable TV’s “What Every Baby Knows,” DR. T. Betty Brazeltion agreed. Children with structured activities are missing the chance to dream, to make their own world work the way they want it.

Russia and the US, the only two countries to have achieved manned flight, are struggling to keep their new investment, the international space station.But China, which has a long tradition in physics, mathematics and engineering, finds its doctoral graduates welcomed in the US and Europe for decades. And it has been able to learn from 40 years of pioneering successes and mistakes by the USSR and the USA.Space flight is a gamble and the stakes (注) are high. If successful, China could become a member of the world's most exclusive club, set up a second home on the moon and get a powerful hand at the strategic bargaining table.Two designers from the Shenzhou III project said that 12 astronauts now are undergoing intensive training.

This may be because, in their opinion, black is related to darkness and white to purity. However, that is not always the case. Did you know that the same one colour may mean differently in different places of the world?In the English-speaking world, black is the colour of mourning. People wear black clothes at the funeral. Red is concerned with danger or bloodshed (流血). Yellow is the word for fear. If you are afraid, you are yellow. Yet none of these sayings is true outside the English-speaking world. In China andKorea white is the colour of mourning. In Russia, China and some other countries, red stands for beauty, life and excellence. In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear.Even within the English-speaking area it is not difficult to find colour contradictions (矛盾). A redcap in the United States is a porter in a railway station. In Britain, however, a redcap is a military policeman. Both names are logical because both men wear red caps. Similarly, the British term for an American white collar worker is sometimes called a black-coated worker.One does not have to cross an area to find color differences. Would you rather be red-blooded? If we go back to the origin, we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest. The expression "blueblood" comes from Spain, where some noble families proudly said that they had "blue blood". But then why "blue" blood? Because they were fairskinned, and it is only natural that their blood vessels (血管) stood out appearing blue.21. Yellow is concerned with anger in _______.A. RussiaB. BritainC. GermanyD. China22. The two meanings of the term "redcap" form a difference in _______.A. pronunciationB. climateC. logical relationshipD. custom23. Both Britain and America would probably agree that _______.A. black is the color of mourningB. a black-coated worker is employed in an officeC. red stands for beauty and excellenceD. a redcap is a porter in a station24. The best title for this passage is _______.A. The Origin of Blue BloodB. The Development of the Symbolic Use of ColorsC. Colors that Carry Bad MeaningsD. The Meaning Concerned With Certain Colors25. When some Spanish called themselves "blueblood", they actually meant _______.A. they had heart trouble and their faces looked blueB. they came from a noble familyC. they had blue blood in their vesselsD. they were fairskinnedBStatistically, air travel is by far the safest way to tavel, and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules. As your chances of being involved in an air accident are practically nil (零), many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn't do to make your journey safer when you are airborne (升空的).Fly on non-stop routesMost accidents occur during the takeoff, climb, descent and landing phases of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complex procedures.Choose larger aircarft. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.mAlthough small aircraft have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply (遵守) with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply. Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircraft provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefingThe information may seem repetitious (重复的), but it's worth listening to the flight attendants. And even if you've flown before, it doesn't mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.Store things safelyNever put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins. They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence (气流).Keep our seat belt fastened while you are seatedCabin crew always tell you this, but it's important. You would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence. Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to.

号顿市安谧阳光实验学校高考总复习25分钟限时阅读天天练--第 43天第一部分：阅读表达（共15分）Statistically, air travel is by far the fastest way to travel and you can make flying even safer just by following these simple rules. As your chances of being involved in an air accident are practicallynil(零）,many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn't do to make your journey safer when you are airborne(升空的).*Fly on non-stop routes. Most accidents occur during the take-off, climb, descent and landing phases of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complicated procedures.*____________. Although small aircraft have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply （遵守）with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply. Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, lager aircraft provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.*Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing(简报).The information may seem repetitious, but it's worth listening to the flight attendants. And even if you have flown before, it doesn't mean you know everything about aircraft you are on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.*Store things safely. Never put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins. They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence.*Keep your seat belt fastened while you are seated. Cabin crew always tell you this, but it's important. You could be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence. Always fasten your seat-belt if you are told to. The general rule of flying is this: If you are told to do something ,do it first and ask questions later.*Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinks. Flight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded aisle on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you. Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.1.What is the passage mainly about?( within ten words)____________________________________________________________2.Find the sentence which can be replaced by the folowing one?Follow the requirement before getting to know why.____________________________________________________________3.Fill in the blank with proper words or phrases.(within tenwords)____________________________________________________________4.

For more than a hundred years one-room schools have been systematically shut down and their students sent away to centralized schools. As recently as 1930 there were 149,000 one-room schools in the United States. By 1970,there were 1,800．Today, of the nearly 800 remaining one-room schools，more than 350 are in Nebraska. The rest are scattered through a few other states that have on their road maps wide-spaces between towns.Now that there are hardly any left, educators are beginning to think that maybe there is something yet to be learned from one-room schools something that served the pioneers that might serve as well as today.Progressive educators have come up with progressive-sounding names like “peer-group teaching ”and “multi-age grouping” for educational procedures that occur naturally in the one-room schools. In one-room schools, the children teach each other because the teacher is busy part of the time teaching someone else. A fourth grader can work at afifth-grade level in math and a third-grade level in English without the shame associated with being left back or the pressures of being skipped ahead. A youngster with a learning disability can find his or her own level without being separated from the other pupils. In larger urbanschools today, this is called “mainstreaming” A few hours in a small school that has only one classroom and it becomes clear why so many parents feel it one of the advantages of living in Nebraska that their children have to go to a one-room school.6. According to the text, many educators today feel that one-room schools_____A. need to be shut downB. are the best in NebraskaC. are still common in AmericaD. provide good education7. One-room schools are in danger of disappearing because______A. they all exist in only one stateB. they skip too many children aheadC. there is a trend toward centralizationD. there is nofourth-grade level in them8. What is mentioned as a major characteristic of the one-room school?A. Some children have to be left back．B. Teachers are always busy．C. Pupils have more subjects to study．D. leaning is at different grade levels at a time．9. What’s the author’s attitude toward one-room schools? A. He praises them. B. He dislikes them．C. He shows sympathy.D. He rejects them．10 .The last sentence suggests that parents living in Nebraska _____A. don’t like centralized schoolsB. once studied in one-room schoolsC. prefer rural life to urban oneD. came from other states of America.BIn an effort to prevent parking-lot rainwater from polluting surrounding soil and underground water, the US. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) said on Thursday it has started decade-long test of porous(有空隙的渗透的) materials to find one that can filter out (滤出)pollutant in rainwater before it flows to its final destination.Parking lot pavement tends to collect chemicals leaked from parked cars. When a heavy rain or snowstorm passes over this area it tends to wash these wastes toward the nearest storm pipe but other times storm pipes are overflowed and runoff keeps flowing until it reaches the nearest land or body of water.At the test site of EPA, the agency has replaced a 3995-square-metresection of parking lot with three different types of porous pavement. Researchers will over time evaluate the effectiveness of each pavement type in removing pollutants from stormwater, and how they help water filter back into the ground．This long—term porous pavement research is part of the agency's Green Instruction Research Program and expected to let the EPA document the performance and functions of three porous pavement systems at the same site，according to an EPA document describing the study．Each of, the monitored porous pavement parking rows has sections lined with an impermeable(不透水的) material to collect the infiltrating(渗漏)water as well as sections that infiltrate into the underlying soil . Each impermeable section has a pipe that draws the accumulated runoff through pipes under the roadway to a collection tank to the side of the lot． Pollution runoff from hard surfaces remains a complex problem, an EPA spokesmansays. In urban areas, polluted runoff often flows pavement into storm pipes. “When heavy rain events occur, polluted water is often let out into rivers streams and oceans through events called combined sewer(下水道)overflows," he says．11. What is the passage mainly about?A. EPA’s new plan to prevent disordered car parking.B. An experiment dealing with polluted parking lot rainwaterC. New materials to be used to make hard pavement．D. EPA’s new rules to instruct parking and pavement12. What is the agency trying to find out according to the text?A. what can be used to filter out pollutants in rainwaterB. Which type of pavement is effective．C. How the porous pavement helps rain infiltrate into soi1．D. All the above aspects are included．13. In city areas polluted pavement rainwater usually______A. flows into storm pipes.B. infiltrate into underground soilC. flows to water-cleaning factories.D. is not allowed to run into sewers14. What does the underlined word“monitor”mea n according to the context?A. exploreB. observeC. head student of a classD. head of the agency15.“combined sewer overflows," means ___in the text.A. river water flowing into citiesB. too much rain water flowing into sewers.C. ocean water getting polluted by rainD. too much rain water flowing into riversNew wordsNew phrasesNew sentences参考答案1.Air safety tips./How to make your flying safe./Dos anddon'ts to make air travel safer.2.两句话中关键词对应点：before 和 first 及 later。

He likes to compare prices between the same items (产品) in different shops. He would never think of buying anything without looking around in several different shops. On the other hand, I’m not a shopper.I think shopping is boring and unpleasant. If I like something and I have enough money to take it, I buy it at once. I never look around for a good price or a better deal. Of course my husband and I never go shopping together. Doing shopping together would be too painful for both of us. When it comes to shopping, we go our different ways.Sometimes I ask my son Jimmy to buy some food in the shop not far from our home. But he is always absent-minded. This was his story.One day I said to him, “I hope you won’t forget what I have told you to buy,” “No,” said Jimmy. “I won’t forget. You want three oranges, six eggs and a pound of meat.”He went running down the street to the shop. As he ran, he said to himself over and over again, “Three oranges, six eggs and a pound of meat.”In the beginning he remembered everything but he stopped several times. Once he saw two men fighting outside a clothes shop until a policeman stopped them. One of them was badly hurt. Then he stopped to give ten cents to a beggar. Then he met some of his friends and he played with them for a while. When he reached the shop, he had forgotten everything except six eggs.As he walked home, his face became sadder and sadder.

Water from the Shitouhe River, 140 kilometers west of Xi’an, is planned to flow into the city in early June, adding 350,000 tons of water per day for industrial use. With 200,000 tons of water a day already supplied by an existing project drawing water from the Weihe River, Xi’an will get a total of one million tons of water per day this summer, which can basically meet the city’s requirements.Xi’an, with a po pulation of more than 3 million, needs one million tons of water supply a day for industrial and drinking use. However, it is only supplied with 700,000 tons of water a day at present, 500,000 tons from underground and 200,000 tons from the Weihe River.Last summer, Xi’an suffered its worst water shortage ever, getting just half the amount it needed.

Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl. I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional（易动感情的）”. But she lived “on the surface “.As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace — it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had evengot to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.But the present of her desk told me, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-paper letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter.“In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”21. The writer began to love her mother's desk________.A. after Mother diedB. before she became a writerC. when she was a childD. when Mother gave it to her22. The passage shows that_________.A. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughterB. Mother was too serious about her daughter in wordsC. Mother wrote to her daughter in careful wordsD. Mother wrote to her daughter in careless words23. The underlined word “gulf” in the third passage means_______.A. deep misunderstanding between the old and the youngB. different ideas between mother and daughterC. free talks between mother and daughterD. part of the sea going far in land24. What did Mother do with her daughter's letter asking for forgiveness?A. She had never received the letter.B. For years, she often talked about the letter.C. She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D. She read the letter again and again till she died.25. What's best title of the passage?A. My letter to MotherB. Mother and childrenC. My Mother's DeskD. Talks between Mother and meBCheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it's not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn't solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won't help on the next test—unless the person cheats again.Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.Some kids cheat because they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn't a good idea.If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn't study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.26. The author thinks that when kids cheat in class,________.A. it is unfair to other peopleB. it does harm to their healthC. teachers should punish themD. teachers shouldn't stop them at once27. Some students like cheating mainly because_________.A. the material in the test is very difficultB. they want to do better than the othersC. cheating can make hard things seem very easyD. they have little time to study their lessons28. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us______.A. cheating isn't a good ideaB. why kids cheat in the testC. some kids can't pass the test without cheatingD. some kids don't spend the time studying29. We can learn from the passage______.A. cheaters are often thought highly ofB. people show no respect for those who cheatC. parents whose kids cheat are often in troubleD. kids cheat in the test because of swim practice30. In the passage those cheaters are advised to_______.A. spend more time on school than on sportsB. find good solutions instead of cheatingC. try hard to be intelligent rather than lazyD. ask their classmates for good methods of studyNew wordsNew phrasesNew sentences参考答案1-5 ACDBC 6-10DACBA 11-15 BCADB 16-20CDCDB 21-25 CABDC 26-30ACBBB。

He got $ 10 for each A.”I suddenly became concerned. These payoffs might get parents through grammar school, but what about high school and beyond? What would be left after the electric guitar, the cellphone, and the portable DVD player?I saw the road ahead: As the homework load increased, my income would decrease. I saw my comfortable lifestyle vanish before my eyes—no more of those $ 5 bags of already-peeled organic carrots. No more organic anything!I started to feel surprised and nervous. Would every goal attained by my two children fetch a reward? A high grade point average? A good class ranking? Would sports achievements be included in this reward system: soccer goals, touchdowns, runs-batted-in? What about orchestra? Would first chair pay more than secon d? I’d be penniless by eighth-grade graduation.“We never paid anything for good grades,” said my neighbor across the street, whose son was recently accepted at MIT. “He just did it on his own.

No one in my family had ever known what an albino was, what it meant to be an albino, and what had to be done differently because I was an albino.My parents treated me just like they treated everybody else. That was just about the best thing they could have done. It helped me trust myself, so when the annoyances came along, I could deal with them.True, my photo always looked like a snowball with two pieces of coal for eyes. Kids would tease me, asking if I was joining the circus and calling me “Whitey”. Like most albinos, I had terrible eyesight, and my grades suffered until eventually I overcame my feeling ashamed of myself and realized it was okay to ask to sit in the front of the classroom so I could see the blackboard better. People stared at me when I held reading material right at the tip of my nose so I could see it well enough to read. Even when I was eight or nine, movie-theater clerks started asking me to pay adult prices because I “looked older”.The worst part for me was that because my eyesight was so bad, I couldn’t play sports very well. I didn’t gi ve up trying, though. And I studied harder.Eventually, I got better at school and loved it. By the time I got to college I was double majoring, going to summer school and devoting myself to every kind of extracurricular activity I could find. I had learne d to be proud of being an albino. I did my best to make “albino” a positive word. And I decided to make my living with my eyes.I couldn’t see well enough to play sports, but with a solid education and the drive to do it. I could make a living involved in the field I loved. I’ve done it now for more than thirty years in print and in video, and now in cyberspace. People make jokes about how I’m the only “blind editor” they know, but most of the time the jokes are signs of respect. And I make jokes about being an albino.I was just a proud albino kid from the coal country of Pennsylvania. I now realize that being born an albino helped me to overcome difficulties, gain confidence, and be proud of my personal achievement and humble about my professional accomplishments.26.
