To enter a better university, I must study hard. I know my advantages and weakness. I am good at Chinese and English while I am weak in math and geograph. So I pay special attention to improve the subjects that I am weak in. Even though I have tried hard to listen to my teacher and practise so hard, my math is still so weak. So I decide to ask my classmate who is good at math, and she is very excited to teach me. During our communication, I find her mind is very active and she has a special way to solve the questions. I realize that the best way to learn konwledge is to share opinions with others, so that we can broaden our mind and find more ways to solve the problem.双语报英语高二27期作文2Join the ActivityHigh school is the very important stage for students, even the turning point of their lives. Once they learn well, they can enter the ideal university and fulfill their dreams. So a lot of students pay all their attention to the study and ignore joining the after-class activity. They think it is a waste of time to do it, instead they’d rather put more time to make up their lessons. It is the common misunderstanding of after-class activity. On the one hand, taking the activity can help students reduce their pressure. When students face the lessons all the time, they are nervous and easy to stuck in the difficulty. The activity brings students the happy hour and forget their worries. On the other hand, the activity can broaden students’ vision and enrich their knowledge, which are useful in their lessons. So after-class life is also the part of students’ lives, don’t refuse it.双语报英语高二27期作文3The Unfinished StoryMany years ago, the movie The Pirates of the Caribbean was very popular around the world. Many kids were so crazy about the captain Jack, who was sly but reliable. When the third episode came out, it seemed that the story had came to its end, because the ending was perfect though a little sad for the two main charaters. What’s more, captain Jack had got what he wanted. If the movie continued, it may probably sucked. But the producers had proved that the story wasunfinished, and captain Jack kept his adventure in the fourth episode. It still caught people’s attention and won many praise. Recently, the preview of the fifth episode came out, the fans could find many attractive riddles. We still believe that the story has its charm and can attract people to buy tickets.双语报英语高二27期作文4The Amazing SummerLast summer, my friend asked me to go to his hometown to spend the summer vacation. I asked my parents for permission and they said yes. When I got to his place, I was so surprised because there was a beach near his house. It was so beautiful, many kids played there. The water was so blue under the sunshine. It was so fun to swim in the water. In the morning, I woke up early and took a walk along the beach, and I could hear the sea water’s coming voice. I saw a lot of people traveled here and took pictures. In the evening, when the sun was down, we played the games and sometimes we swam. It was such a good memory for me. I liked the leisure lifestyle. When summer comes, I will always think of the happy days in the beach.双语报英语高二27期作文5How to Use CellphoneMany years ago, cellphone was not allowed to used for high school students. Teachers would take away students’ cellphone once they saw it.But now the phone has been part of people’s life and almost every student uses it. It is just the popular communication tool. For many high school students, they are easy to be addicted to keeping chatting with their friends and not pay attention to the class. For me, I have controlled myself not to play it in the class, so I will turn off the phone and not to think about it. Some parents believe that using cellphone is not good for students, the fact is that students can learn a lot from the cellphone, they can search the Internet for more information, so as to get better solutions.双语报英语高二27期作文6The Importance of Enough SleepEnough sleep is very important. It affects we are happy or not. We can easily find if we sleep enough in the night, we usually have a good mood next day. But, if we do not have enough sleep, sometimes we will feel depressed without a reason. What’s more, sleep also affects our study or work. Try to imagine that a sleepy person how can he listen to the teacher in class or work in their position. It must be a hard job or in low efficiency. Thus, if a person sleep enough, he can do better in their life. In addition, do you find that a person with good sleep usual do not have acne, because enough sleep balance their internal secretion and detox. Knowing the importance of enough sleep, do you still stingy about sleep Do you still dare to sleep late。

It provides different kinds of Italian food. There are refrigerator cases full of prepared foods and desserts, and shelves filled with olives and various pasta.There's some traditional Italian music and the smell is of olive oil and garlic (大蒜). Above the largest refrigerator case, there's a chalk board covered with descriptions of more Italian sandwiches than I could remember.I stepped into Frigo's almost by accident when I had to stay in Springfield into the evening for an open house at the school where I work. Frigo's is the perfect place to find something quick to go. There are no tables, so all food is taken out. I also thought it would be a great place to pick up some already-prepared food to bring home for dinner.I ordered the easiest meal possible: a chicken sandwich and a salad. It cost $4.75 for the sandwich. The salad was $4.99 and didn't have salard dressing on it. I must have missed the choice of salad dressing on the way out. The sandwich was great 一great chicken, excellent tomato sauce and not too much cheese.I wish I had tried one of the many other sandwiches which include Joe's Favorite ($5.25-$6.75) and the Dante (King) which is made of turkey breast, roasted red peppers, asiago cheese and choice of dressing.I have a feeling that I'II be picking up dinner for me and the kids at Frigo's soon.26. Who would be most likely to go to eat at Frigo's?A. People who want to eat quietly in a nice restaurant.B. People who want to enjoy home-made food.C. People who like traditional American food.D. People who are fond of Italian food.27. Which of the following cannot be seen at Frigo's?A. A chalk board covored with descriptions of sandwiches.B.

How much did the writer pay for his first meal at Frigo's?A. $4.75B. $5.25C. $9.74D. $4.9929.

We can infer from the passage that the writer __________.A. seldom eats out in a restaurant with his familyB. feels very happy that he has found Frigo'sC. dislikes eating sandwichesD. lives a very relaxing lifeBEngland has been the birthplace of most of the great English-language theater written throughout history. Most of the plays in England that are truly famous have something in common. They usually come from a playwright（剧作家）with several famous plays.ShakespeareWilliam Shakespeare is considered the.most famous British playwright. Shakespeare has a large catalog(目录) of tragedies, comedies and history plays, and each category is home to some of the most famous plays ever written. Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Othello and Julius Caesar are all tragedies and performed in theaters around the world every year. Famous comedies include: A Midsummer night's Dream and Much Ado About Nothing. In the history category, Richard Ⅲ and Henry V are very famous.Oscar Wilde and George Bernard ShawSeveral hundred years after Shakespeare, English people began to enjoy the works of Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw. Wilde's plays are still popular now, and The importance of Being Earnest is both performed and studied extremely frequently. A Woman of No Importance and An Ideal Husband are among his other famous works. Shaw and Wilde were born within a few years of each other, but Shaw was a much more productive writer. His most famous plays include Pygmalion and Candida. Shaw's plays are loved so much that an entire theater company is devoted to performing his work in Niagara-on-the-Lake in southem Ontario.Harold PinterThe plays of Harold Pinter certainly have an international presence. His writing was so widely recognized for its importance that he was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 2005. Pinter is especially known for his style of writing. Many of his plays such as BetrayaL, The Dumb Waiter and his first play, The Room, are extremely well known.31.

William Shakespeare.B. Oscar Wilde.C. George Bernard Shaw.D. Harold Pinter.CDo you enjoy watching beautiful sunsets and seeing wildlife in somc of the best parts of Wisconsin? Do you like being around people who share the same respect and love for natural resources? If you say "yes", then a fisheries biologist is a great career choice for you.As you can probably guess, education is very important. A Bachelor of Science degree in fisheries or biology is strongly recommended. Many biologists have a Master's degree. But it's not only good education that prepares you for a career as a fisheries biologist —field experience is also important. Volunteer work, internships (实习) and short-term fish technician positions are good ways to gain valuable training that can give you an edge in the competitive job market.In addition to good education and field experience, a fisheries biologist needs other skills. You'll spend a lot of time working with the public, so it's important to feel comfortable talking to a variety of people. Good communication, listening, and presentation (陈述) skills are a must.A common misconception among many people is that fisheries biologists get to fish all the time. Most biologists wish that were true. But as a fisheries biologist, you are especially busy during the fishing season, which leaves little time for you to actually go fishing. It's sad, but true.Each day brings something different in the life of a fisheries biologist. In the spring and fall, you spend a lot of time on the water shocking fish in order to sample the population, studying fish, and talking with people. The winter is spent analyzing (分析) fish data and communicating with the public.So if you find fish interesting and fun to leam about, and like working both outside and inside, consider a career as a fisheries biologist. You'II never be bored!36. We can infer this passage was written to __________.A. advise us to respect and protect wildlifeB. encourage us to spend more time working outsideC. explain why education is important for our careerD. introduce a good career to those who are interested in wildlife37. What are Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about?A. Education needed to find a good job.B. Requirements for becoming a fisheries biologist.C. The benefits of being a fisheries biologist.D. Some good ways to gain valuable training.38. To be a good fisheries biologist, which of the following is NOT necessary?A. You shoulcl be good at communicating with others.B. You should have rich knowledge of biology.C. You should havc ricld experience.D. You should be a good swimmer.39. The underlined word "misconception" in Paragraph 4 probably means "__________".A. questionB. misunderstandingC. dreamD. explanation40. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A. fisheries biologists like working in winter mostB. fisheries biologists can easily get bored of their workC. fisheries biologists get to fish all the time all year roundD. fisheries biologists spend a lot of time working outside in spring and fallDOnce upon a time, there was a scholar wbo wanted to gain more knowledge each day even though he had already gained enough knowledge. One day, he came to visit a saint and wanted to be his student. The saint provided some tea. He slowly filled the scholar's cup: the cup was full. yet he kept pouring and pouring. The scholar burst out, "Stop! You can't add anything to something that's already full!" The saint set down the teapot and replied, 'Exactly."Whether it's the silence between notes in music, or some open time in your schedule, you need space to act effectively. Yet most of us, myself included, tend to stuff as much as possible into whatever room is available —closets, schedules, budgets, relationships, and even the mind itself.However, some people know how to avoid overstuffing their life. For example, in Australia, it seemed that most people there operated at about 85% of their capacity(能力), unlike Americans pushing as close to l00% as possible. So when you run into Australians you know in the street, they have time to hang out and talk with you.Remember the cup: its value is in the space, the emptiness it holds. How to empty you "cup"?Be mindful of the element of space, openness, and emptiness in your life. This includes room in a drawer, the volume of air in a kitchen, and open-mindedness in a friend. Sometimes you're just stuck with a big bucket of tasks yet to do. But at least empty the bucket faster than you fill it with new tasks. Put some spacc between finishing one thing and starting another. For example, after sending one email, take a breath before replying to another one. Drop the stuff you can no longer afford to lug around. At sea level, you can run with a brick in your backpack, but if you're hiking on a mountain, that brick has got to go.41. By pouring water into the cup, the saint most probably wanted the scholar to know that __________. .A. he should pay attention to detailsB. he should keep learning every dayC. he had already gained enough knowledgeD. he should be very careful in order to succeed42. We leam that compared to Americans, Australians __________.A. work much harderB. know less about their capacityC. spare more time for themselvesD. spend less time with their friends43. The underlined word "lug" in the last paragraph probably means "__________".A. reachB. carryC. seeD. show44. What's the stucture of the passage?A. Example →advice →conclusion →story.B. Topic →example →advice →story.C. Story →topic →example →advice.D. Reason →topic →advice →example.45. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The art of life.B. Value every minute.C. The art ofdrinking tea.D. Empty your "cup" at times. .第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

I'd go to bed early for a class beginning at 8:00 am and my roommate would turn on the lights, leave the door open and invite friends over after I'd be trying to sleep. After a month, I changed the room.Over four years I managed to have six roommates in total. The one that was my least favorite was my old friend. This is common. Friends think that because they get along so well, sharing a room or an apartment should be OK. But the fact that they don't share a room or an apartment is part of the reason why they get along so well. That separation of space, at the end of the day, can be the friendship saver.Living with friends can oflen hinder you from meeting new people. It means graduating from college with the same friends you went in with. S. ome people I knew when I was in college all went to the same high school and all of them lived together in college. By the time we graduated, they were still living together and had not really made any new friends.More often than not, I've seen friendships end by the decision to become roommates. Two friends of mine were friends when they went into college and shared a room but hardly spoke to each other by the end of the school year.My advice: move out and make a new friend.26. According to Paragraph 2, why did the writer move out?A. Because he wanted to live with an old friend.B. Because his roommate didn't like living with him.C. Because he was not allowed to invite his friends over.D. Because his sleep was seriously affected by his roommate's actions.27. What does the underlined word "hinder" in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Prevent.B. Encourage.C. Lead.D. Teach.28. The writer probably does NOT think that it is a good idea to __________.A. live with a s ranger in collegeB. share a room with a friend in collegeC. go to sleep early at night in collegeD. keep in touch with old friends in college29. The writer makes his point clear mainly by __________.A. referring ro dataB. asking questionsC. giving examplesD. following the order of time30. In which section of a website can we most probably read this passage?A. Life in the city.B. College life lessons.C. Plans for high school life.D. Apartment information.BVariations(变化) caused by the body's 24-hour clock may mean that it offers more protection from harmful UV rays in the early hours than later on in the day.A study on mice, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal, found that their vulnerability to UV light depended on the time of the day.The body's levels of a protein called XPA, which helps repair the DNA that has been damaged by UV light, change over the course of 24 hours. Researchers foundthat mice were five times more likely to develop cancer when exposed to UV light at 4:00 am, when their XPA levels were the lowest, while at 4:00 pm they reached their peak.Humans and mice have almost the same biological clocks which.are tied to a 24-hour cycle, except that we are active during the day while mice are nocturnal.This means that if the same variation in protection from the sun occurs in humans as in mice, the effect would be the opposite, giving us more protection during the moming and less in the afternoon.Dr Aziz Sancar of the University of North Carolina, who led the research, said, "Our research would suggeat that limiting sunbathing or visits to the tanning booth io morning hours would reduce the risk of skin cancer in humans."Dr Kat Amcy of Cancer Research UK said, "Over the past few years, scientists have been gathering evidence showing that the DNA repair is linked to the celll's biological clock, and these new findings in mice just support this idea."But we don't know exactly whether this research will hold up in humans, and we would still advise people to avoid using sunbeds or getting sunburnt at any time of the day to reduce the chances of developing skin cancer."31. What can we leam about XPA?A. Its levels don 't change during the day.B. It can be easily damaged by UV light.C. It is not very helpful to our body.D. It can repair some damaged DNA.32. According to the underlined word "nocturnal" in Paragraph 4, we know that mice are __________.A. active at nightB. of strange biological clocksC. skilled at repairing DNAD. likely to have cancer33.

Its reddish color and changes in brightness over time make the planet an unforgettable sight.In Cosmos, the television science series from the 1980s, scientist Carl Sagan talked about some traditional ideas about Mars. Some of these ideas are from the English science fiction writer H.G. Wells' The War of ihe Worlds. Others are from the mistaken science of Percival Lowell, the American astronomer who believed intelligent beings lived on Mars. Wells described Martians as threatening. Lowell imagined them as the hopeful engineers of great works. Carl Sagan said that both ideas influenced the public deeply.Today, Mars continues to excite humans —not as the object of science fiction but of scientific study. Space scientists have collected a wealth of information from spacecrafts that have orbited, landed on and dug into theMartian surface.The Smithsonian's "Mars Day" offered a chance for people of all ages to touch Mars, or at least a piece of it. Allison and Alycia from Silver Spring, Maryland, brought their children, Grace, Sam, Ryan and Emma. They heard about Mars and its geology from experts. They could see a test version of the Viking landers that reached Mars in July of 1976. They also saw meteorites (陨星) known to have come from the red, or reddish planet. Eight-year-old Sam learned that the ancient description of Mars as red is not exactly right. He said, "It's actually orangish more than red and it's also kind of brown." Emma is six. She learned about the volcanic activity that has shaped the surface of Mars. She said, "The closest thing to Mars —the stuff —is from volcanoes mostly.""Mars Day" offered Allison and Alycia's children a chance to learn more about a world that they are very likely to set foot on within their lifetimes.36. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. Why Martians wcre considered threatening.B. Why Mars has captured the world's imagination.C. What people generally thought of Mars in the past.D. How H.G. Wells got the idea for his science fiction.37. It is implied in Paragraph 3 that __________.A. today's space scientists still know nothing about MarsB. today's space scientists are very interested in MarsC. science fiction films are no longer set in MarsD.spacc scientists haven't made any progress in knowing Mars38. Sam would probably agree that __________.A. Mars is not really redB. no meteorites have come from MarsC. Mars cannot be described as a little brownD. the ancient description of Mars' color is true39. What is the writer's attitude toward the idea that humans will set foot on Mars?A. He thinks it may happen in this year.B. He thinks it will always remain a dream.C. He thinks it will come true within hundreds of years.D. He thinks it may happen in the following decades.40. The Smithsonian's "Mars Day" might NOT offer people a chance to __________.A. learn about the surface of MarsB. see a test version of some Viking landersC. see meteorites known to have come from MarsD. sit in a spacccraft to experience the life of an astronautDThe largest conference on AIDS vaccine (疫苗) development is being held in Bangkok, Thailand. Organizers of the conference said, "A safe and effective AIDS vaccine would be one of the greatest public health advances ever." But they also admit it's one of the "greatest scientific challenges".In recrnt months, the public has tutned their attemion on AIDS vaccine research to what's happening in prevention. Studies show that antiretroviral drugs, when taken by an infected person, can prevent HIV transmission (传染) to a non-infected person. They also show that non-HIV-infected people can take the drugs as a preventive measure.But while there have been prevention advances, vaccine researchers are beginning new work to find what are called broadly neutralizing antibodies (杭体). If successful, they would be able to block the many, many different strains of HIV that now exist.Warren, head of the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition (A V AC), said there was success in 2009 of the RV-144 trial in Thailand. It proved that an AIDS vaccine is possible. It was the largest AIDS vaccine trial ever, with thousands of people taking part in it. "We got the result two years ago, but it's not as if that trial ended. For the last two years, an international team has been looking at the samples that were collected at that time. They have been trying to find out why that vaccine worked," he said.In the early days of AIDS vaccine research, cooperation was not as common as it is today. In fact, many believed the sharing of data could hurt a researcher's chances of publishing the work and receiving credit for it. Warren said, "Now people who might be seen as competitors in some ways are all working together to try to understand why that vaccine worked."41. Organizers of the conference think that __________. .A. inventing a safe and effective AIDS vaccine is impossibleB. AIDS vaccine development is going very wellC. a safe and effective AIDS vaccine will exist in no timeD. inventing a safe and effective AIDS vaccine is difficult42. What' s the function of antiretroviral drugs?A. It can kill HIV.B. It can cure people with AIDS.C. It can prevent HIV fiom spreading.D. It can make people wiih HIV healthier.43. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Vaccine researchers.B. Neutralizing antibodies.C. Prevention advances.D. Different strains of HIV.44. According to Pardgraph 4, it is still unknown __________.A. whether an AIDS vaccine is possibleB. how many people took part in the RV-144 trial in 2009C. when the result of the RV-144 trial came outD. why the AIDS vaccine used in the RV-144 trial worked45. We can leam from the last paragraph that __________.A. the competition among researchers on AIDS vaccine is fiercer than beforeB. researchers on AIDS vaccine now don't think it's a good idea to share dataC. researchers on AIDS vaccine are now more willing to work togetherD. no rescarchcrs on AIDS vaccine are trying to publish their work第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

He was 5 at the time. For some reason, he took a liking to my husband. Every time he saw him, Jacob would wave, dash across the street and come to visit. Jacob would always ask so many questions. They would ride bikes together. They really seemed to get along well.My husband had a sick cat that died at that time. It literally broke his heart and he grieved deeply for so long that even I was getting worried about him. He had no energy, cried and even quit his bike riding.Five-year-old Jacob immediately noticed and asked me what was wrong. I told him about the loss of our cat and how my husband didn't want to ride, or visit his friends. Jacob listened carrfully without a word and ran back home.The next day, the door bell rang. There was Jacob and his mom with a huge plate of homemade chocolate cookies. On top of that, Jacob had a huge paper card in his hand. Jacob's mom explained, "Jacob came home yesterday and told me about your husband's situation. He wanted to do something immediately to cheer him up and asked me to help him make chocolate cookies with the material left at home." Jacob also asked his mom to write down a message on a piece of paper so he could copy it in hts own handwriting. He drew a picture of my husband and the cat on the card and signed his name.I gave him a hug before he ran off to find his friend and present his gift. After they left, I noticed tears in my husband's eyes. Five-year-old Jacob's thoughtfulness left a great impression on him.26.

Annoyed.D. Moved.BSeveral years ago, a student working on a research project in my laboratory approached me with concern. "I'm doing something wrong,"she exclaimed. I had seen her research results and knew she was making good progress, so I was surprised to hear that she was having a problem. Over the next several days we went through her experiment; yet I could not find a pmblem. Finally, I asked her, "Why do you think you're doing something wrong?" "Because I'm not getting what you said I should get," she replied with some confusion.Her response shocked me. I had not told her what she "should get”, but we had discussed some published hypotheses(假说) several weeks earlier. On seeing the research data that did not fit these predictions, I recognized that she had a new finding and came to change my hypmheses. But she was interpreting her results as a mistake. With almost four years of a college science major behind her, this student still had the common misunderstanding that science is a boring exercise in proving something we already know to be true.But how can this happen? Throughout school, science is often described in textbooks as a series of "known" facts and figures; for example, DNA is a double helix; earthquakes occur at plate boundaries, etc. Unfortunately, the process by which these discoveries were made and how they fit into scientific progress are often ignored in the classroom. These details help show the nature of scientific discoveries and the skepticism (质疑) that goes with new discoveries before they are accepted.Understanding science is more than memorizing that DNA is a double helix. It is to have the ability to take in new information on diet, exercise, or disease and apply it to our own lives. Understanding the process of science and scientific problem-solving can help us make better decisions every day.31. The student thought her research project had gone wrong because __________.A. she was not making progressB. her teacher told her soC. she couldn't get enough dataD. she had some unexpected findings32. How did the writer feel when he found out the reason for the siudent's confusion?A. Contused.B. Surprised.C. Excited.D. Pleased.33. What is to blame for the siudent's misunderstanding about science?A. Her own carelessness.B. Her teacher's lack of experience.C. The method of science education.D. The publication of some wrong hypotheses.34. According to the third paragraph, new scientific discoveries __________.A. are based on what has already been proved trueB. can change the world in a great wayC. are mostly proved wrong by later studiesD. may not be easily accepted35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The meaning of undcrsmnding science.B. How to use known facts.C. The best way to make scientific discoveries.D. How to use scientific knowledge in daily life.CI am the third daughter in a family of five. I was born at Malden hospital and wasimmediately sent to Floating Hospital in Boston. I had a hole in my heart and a low platelet count (血小板计数), which are common problems of people with TAR syndrome (综合症). I came home for a short stay after my birth and then went back and did not return home until just before Thanksgiving, My parents have told me that after I was hom our family doctor had a very important conversation with them. He said, "Y ou have two choices with your daughter. One is that you do everything for her now, in the future, and after you die; the other is that you do nothing." My parents picked the former.I do not have a great many memories of my childhood but I do remember I spent the first ten years in and out of hospitals. I do remember I stayed in the Boston hospital until I was around 2 years old and then I went to Shriners. I guess few children can bear that.I've grown up with great determination. I think that was a personality trait that I was born with and then my family developed that in me as I grew up. I had to deal with a lot of people making fun of me, staring at me, and pitying me. At a young age I realized that I could hide my pain with laughter. So I used that method when other children made fun of me and they stopped a lot faster than if I cried. Laughter was not the expected response so I guess they didn t feel it was fun to continue. There was emotional and physical pain. I required the aid of a walker until I was about five years old. I had about ten major operations before the age of ten. I had to relearn to walk several times. I think having TAR syndrome has made me a strong person physically and emotionally. Despite these difficulties and challenges, I have gone on to be awarded a Master's Degree and a black belt in Tae Kwon Do (跆拳道), and I am now an inspirational speaker.36. From the first paragraph, we can learn that __________.A. the writer's parents knew ahout her disease before she was bornB. the writer didn't go back home until she was two years oldC. the writer's parents found that they could do nothing for herD. the writer's parents were brave enough to accept the cruel reality37. What was the writer's childhood like?A. It was hopeless.B. It was hard for her.C. It was quite enjoyable.D. It was fun.38. What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A The author's born disability. B. The author's childhood memory.C. The author's great determination.D. The author's ability to deal with others.39. When other children made fun of her, the writer would __________.A. remain silentB. shout backC. laughD. cry loudly40. According to the passage, we can infer that __________.A. the writer has a positive attitude towards lifeB. the writer does little exerciseC. the writer receives little educationD. the writer doesn't like to show her true feelingsDAuthorities in India warn that the world-famous Taj Mahal desperately needs repairs. Some say that this architectural landmark could eventually collapse (倒塌) unless efforts are made to protect and preserve it.The Taj Mahal, completed in the 17th century, was built in Agra, India, on the edge of the Ydmuna River. The wooden foundation that holds up the building stays strong because of the moist environment around the river. If the river were to dry out, the wooden foundation could crack and fall apart. Unfortunately, over the past decade, the Y amuna River has been shrinking,especially during the summer months. This is partly because of overuse of the river water in daily life and in industry.Some officials have said the building may collapse in as little as five years. Other experts disagree and question whether the building really faces any danger. Certain politicians and historians, however, are pushing the government to begin preservation efforts, or work to repair and take care of the building.This is not the first time that the Taj Mahal has been threatened. In 1996, officials thought air pollution was turning the building yellow. The Indian government ordered nearby factories to stop burning coal or leave the area.The Taj Mahal was built by a former emperor of India in honor of his dead wife. Many architects say the building is a masterpiece of symmetry. Symmetry is a visual technique where the right side of an object looks the same as the left side of the object.The Taj Mahal has been named as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, a list of amazing human-made landmarks. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) lists the Taj Mahal as a World Heritage Site and helps preserve the hmous structure.41. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Taj Mahal, the symbol of Indian culture.B. Seven Wonders of the World.C. History of the Taj Mahal.D. Trouble at the Taj Mahal.42. The underlined word "moist" in Paragraph 2 probably means "__________".A. slightly wetB. very coolC. smokyD. clean43. We can learn from the third paragraph that __________.A. no repair work has ever been done with the Taj MahalB. some experts believe the Taj Mahal doesn't need repairsC. the government has decided to repair the Taj Mahal recentlyD. the Taj Mahal will be closed within five years44.What did the government do to protect the Taj Mahal from protection?A. Cleabed the Yamuna River.B. Closed nearby factories.C. Painted the building yellow.D. Asked nearby factories to stop burning coal.45.According to the passage, the Taj Mahal __________.A. has a history of more than 500 yearsB. was built in memory of a kingC. is of great architectural significanceD. now belongs to the UNESCO第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

People text in movie theaters, in class and even while driving. But one woman was caught texting in a really unusual place —her own wedding.After making her way down the aisle(过道) with her father, the Califomia bride stopped, pulled a cellphone out of the top ofher dress alnd began to text under her veil. She used one hand to text as the other held her father's hand."This is part of a weedding video I shot in August, 2008 at the Mission Beach Women's Club in San Dicgo, CA," videographer James Costa wrote on his YouTube page." It was perfectly normal except for this funny clip of the bride texting.""At one point, I noticed her doing it through my lens(镜头) and I had to pull away from the camera to make sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing," Costa wrote.The preacher could be heard in the background beginning the ceremony. The bride's back was to her guests, but Costa caught the moment with his camera. "The preacher was busy reading his opening comments and the bride's back was to the guests who were there," Costa wrote. "I was the only one to see her. Her dad glanced at her and then saw me taking a video!"The bride's father appeared embarrassed and at one point opened his mouth and began to move his arm as though he was going to say something to her, but he stopped himself from doing so, and let the bride do —or text —whatever she wanted on her special day.26.

On 15 December, 2010, I started a challenge to spend a year without shopping for clothes. It hasn't been easy. Why did I decide to take a year off from shopping for clothes?Financial reasonsIn 2010, my financial circumstances changed, but my spending habits didn't. I was eaming less but not spending less. Tired of working in a company, I started an online business in early 2010. While the experience helped me in many ways, it didn' t increase my income. . Practical reasonsMost women wear only 20-30% of their clothes. A year without shopping for clothes gave me a chance to increase the percentage. I wasn't adding any new pieces to my wardrobe (衣橱), so I was forced to reach for those I hadn't worn for ages. Over the past year, I found myself wearing items that had hung for months. You know sometimes children get so many toys that they can't play with them all. After a few weeks they "discover" the old toys and it's almost like having new ones. I found all sorts of new toys in my wardrobe.Creative reasonsShopping is nearly a sport for many women, me included. I'm great at it. I could have represented Australia in the shopping Olympics, if such a thing existed. But when you look at the bigger picture, it's rather sad to consider all that creative energy going into shopping. I learned to use that creative energy for other purposes.Now as the end of my challenge gets close, I have mixed feelings. To help me deal with things, I've been thinking about what I've leamed over the past year.31. What can we leam from Paragraph 2?A. The writer thought highly of her job in the company.B. The wnter became tired of operating an online business.C. The writer benefited in some ways from her online business.D. Starting an online business allowod the writer to spend more money.32. The underlined part "new toys" in Paragraph 3 refers to __________.A. toys for kidsB. unworn clothesC. things used for shoppingD. shopping habits33. By saying "I could have represented Australia in the shopping Olympics", the writer means __________. .A. she wants to take part in the Olympic GamesB. she is proud of Australian shoppersC. she is good at shoppingD. she does well in sports34. Which of the following reasons for giving up shopping is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. To save money.B. To spare energy.C. To wear the unworn clothes.D. To spend more time with friends.35. What would be talked about in the following paragraph?A. What the writer has learned from that experience.B. How to form good shopping habits.C. Why the writer has mixed feelings.D. How to avoid shopping.CSearch efforts are continuing in south-eastern Turkey for survivors of Sunday's powerful 7.2 magnitude earthquake. The number of the dead reported has exceeded (超过) 200 and the number is expected to continue to increase. Rescue workers are racing against time to final the hundreds of people believed to be trapped under the rubble(碎砖) of buildings that fell after the quake.The 7.2 magnitude quake severely damaged thousands of buildings. Despite battling against the numerous aftershocks, rescue efforts have been successful. A woman was dug out of her fallen apartment block afler being trapped for 10 hours. Then she called out for her mother, who was injured. The survivors are from the town Ercis, one of the worst hit areas where as many as l00 buildings were reported collapsed.Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited Van, the main city in the quake-stricken region. He warns there may still be worse news to come. He says the biggest concern is for the villages because the buildings are made of mud and are more vulnerable to quakes. He says almost all buildings in such villages are destroyed. With the telephone system failing in many places, there has been little news from the area. Many of the roads have also been cut off, adding to the difficulties of rescue efforts.The mountainous south-eastern region of Turkey, where the quake struck, is one of the poorest parts of the country. Weather conditions worsened late Sunday, with freezing temperatures and forecasts for snow.Turkey sits on major geological fault lines.

She's flying from London to Tallinn, where a little boy will be waiting to greet her at the airport. "It's his fourth birthday." she said, smiling. "I haven't seen him for three months and I can't wait to see how much he has grown."From the way she's talking, you'd imagine Rebecca is going to visit a nephew or a fiiend's child. Instead, this tall, attractive 28-year-old woman from London is going to spencl a long weekend with her son, whom she left two years ago when she walked away from him and her husband. "He has a very good father and grandmother. I feel he's better off living with them than with me," she said calmly. "I want him to be with me, but I just can't be sure that would work."Yet public attitude towards women like Rebecca, who have chosen to live away from their children, is that they are at some level irresponsible. In our society women who fail to put their children before themselves are seen as unnatural. Whispers follow, "What's wrong with her? I would never do that."Sarah Hart is the co-chairperson of Match, a charity for mothers who don't live with their children, and the author of A Mother Apart, a book for the 200,000 or so British women in this situation. She says that there is still a hug discrepancy in how we view mothers and fathers not living with their children. "We usually think that it's very painful for men to be separated from their kids but that this is just how things work out. But when a woman does it, our judgment is unforgiving," she says. "People usually think that she must have done something wrong and that in some way she must be unfit." .41. How does the writer lead to the topic of the passage?A. By telling Rebecca's story.B.

Every weekend, Joe and his friend Daniel would go to the McDonalds.He liked hamburgers so much that during the week he couldn’t stop thinking about them. One night, he dreamed about hamburgers. In his dream there appearedmany hamburgers. They looked very delicious. So Joe took two enormous hamburgers, and ate them in one bite. Suddenly he felt sick, for he had eaten too much and too quickly. His stomach was hurting. Joe looked at himself in the mirror.There was such a big stomach that he shouted loud. This woke Joe up with a start and he ran to the mirror to check his stomach. It had all been a dream. The next day, Joe and Daniel went for hamburgers as usual. Just as they were entering the restaurant, Joe stopped and said that he didn’t want a hamburger that day. He said to Daniel if they kept on eating hamburgers frequently, they would get fat or sick. So Joe suggested changing the hamburger for a salad. They should eat salads more often, and that way their diet would be healthier. Daniel agreed with him.That was how the boys realized they should eat much more vegetables for a healthy diet.Summary:Joe liked hamburgers so much that during the week, he couldn’t stop thinking about them.

It has four subspecies, which can be mostly found in the North Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean. Between the late 19th century and the middle of 20th century, blue whales were hunted and killed so largely that they almost died out. To protect blue whales, laws were made by different countries of the world in 1966 and people are forbidden to hunt and kill them. A report in 2013 shows that at present, there are only about 25,000 blue whales left in the world.读写任务 (One possible version)The passage tells us that it is common for us to escape responsibility for what we did wrong. It points out that taking the blame is very helpful to make friends or gain success.Indeed, when making mistakes, we always find excuses for ourselves and rarely have the courage to face them. In my opinion, we should face our faults bravely.Once, a boy got an axe as a present from his father. He liked it and tried it by cutting his father’s tree. His father was very sad about his tree, saying anyone who did this would be punished. Finally, the boy told him the truth. His father forgave him because he thought his son was honest, facing his own mistake. The boy is George Washington, the first American president!I think we should learn from George Washington. Firstly, be honest and never tell lies. Secondly, face our faults bravely instead of blaming others. Lastly, regard faults or failures as opportunities to improve ourselves, because failure is just a stepping-stone to success.听力练习28第一节1-5 BBACA6-10 BCBCB11-15 CCBAB第二节16-20 (One possible version)16.

But the paying of bills isn't 50/50 —my wife pays all sorts of household expenses, so I never even have to set eyes on them. And the cooking isn't 50/50, either.The truth is that I am the cook. On my recent 40th birthday, I received the following gifis fiom my children: a new pot, two mini bottles of truffle oil, a decorative salad-dressing pourer, and a juice-making machine. For a moment I longed for something more manly, a cricket bat, perhaps, and then had to admit that all these things would be useful for me.It's not that my wife can't or doesn't like to cook (she makes delicious Welsh cakes). Nor has it always been this way. In the early years of our marriage I'd be relaxing with a glass of wine while my wife prepared for dinner after work.But at some point that changed and I became the cook. Ten years with my wife gave me the rewards —I can throw together a roast, and I can make much foreign food. But I have truly become a monster(怪物) in the kitchen, unable to keep myself away from cooking. "You have to add Dijon to the sauce; it brings out the taste of the cheese," I volunteer, as my wife is cooking. "Quick, stir in the butter so the dish becomes delicious."Is it any wonder that my wife has given up coming into the kitchen while I find the whole process of chopping, mixing, and adding things deeply satisfying?26. What do the writer and his wife probably share evenly at home?a. Cooking in the kitchen.b. Taking care of the children.c. Paying household expenses.d. Taking care ofthe elderly at home.A. abB. bcC. bdD. ac27. The gifts that the writer received on his 40th birthday show that __________.A. his children don't know him at allB. he is in charge of the cooking at homeC. he doesn't get along well with his childrenD. his children have made wrong choices28. What do we know about the writer's wife?A. She can't cook.B. She doesn't like cooking.C. She used to cook for the family.D. She only knows how to make Welsh cakes.29. From Paragraph 5 we learn that the writer __________.A. likes sticking his nose into other people's businessB. doesn't think his wife is good at cookingC. studies very hard in order to cook wellD. enjoys cooking in the kitchen30. We can infer the wnter wrote this passage to __________.A. encourage people to eat at homeB. share his family life with usC. explain why men should cookD. give us some tips on cookingBAround the world there are some festivals that for some of us may sound bizarre.In England they celebrate the rolling cheese race, which occurs every year during the last Monday in May. This festival's characteristic is a contest where an official(参与者) rolls cheese down a steep hill and festival-goers go chasing after it. The winner is the first one to reach and catch the cheese.Another festival celebrated in England is the world championship of grimaces（鬼脸）. It is a celebration that dates back to 1297 and is celebrated during the month of September. The task is to perform the best grimace using anything you can to win.The worldwide championship of wife lifting is celebrated in Finland. The game is based on Viking traditions where a man should carry away his neighbor's wife. According to the rules, any woman above 17 is considered as a wife, so if you are within this age, take care while visiting this country during the month of July.Many of you have watched Pirates of the Caribbean, and have known something about pirates. The 19th of September has been declared worldwide as the day to talk like a pirate. Plenty of people have celebrated it thanks to the publicity (宣传) on the Internet.First staged in 1998, the Boryeong Mud Festival is an attraction that pulls more than a million visitors to the South Korean city. As you all know, the town is said to be rich in minerals, so there is no shortage of mud. Mud is trucked onto Daecheon Beach for tourists and locals to enjoy the festival to their best.The Monkey Buffet Festival is held in Thailand to develop tourism. It's an annual feast held for about 600 monkeys. The Monkey Buffet Festiva! is held in honor of the Hindu gods Ram and Hanuman and involves 3,000 kilograms of vegetables and fruits being laid out for monkeys to stuff themselves.31. What does the underlined word "bizarre" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Dangerous.B. Strange.C. Scary.D. Familiar.32. If a participant wants to win in the rolling cheese race, he / she should __________.A. roll as much cheese down the hill as possibleB. find the largest piece of cheese rolling downhillC. perform the best grimace when chasing the cheeseD. be the first one to catch the cheese rolling downhill33. According to the writer, a girl above 17 should be careful when enjoying __________.A. the worldwide championship of wife liftingB. the world championship of grimacesC. the Boryeong Mud FestivalD. the Monkey Buffet Festival34. If you are interested in the Boryeong Mud Festival, you should go to __________.A. EnglandB. FinlandC. South KoreaD. Thailand35. Which of the following pictures shows the festival in honor of the Hindu gods Ram and Hanuman?A. B. C. D.CLast week, a study showed that people around the world are getting fatter. The study found that obesity had almost doubled since 1980. Majid Ezzati at Imperial College London led the research team. He says the results show that obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol(胆固醇) are no longer just found in wealthy nations. These are now worldwide problems.The study shows that in 2008, almost ten percent of men were obese. That was up from about five percent in 1980. That same year, almost eight percent of women were obese. By 2008. the rate of obesity among women was almost fourteen percent.Obesity is commonly measured by the body mass index, or BMI. This is a measure of a person's weight in relation to height. A pcrson with a BMI of eighteen point five to twenty-four point nine is considered to have a normal weight, and a BMI of twenty-five to twenty-nine is considered overweight. Pacific island nations such as the Philippines have an average BMI of around thirty-five —the highest in the world. But the study found that the United States had the single highest average among wealthy countries. Men and women had an average BMI of over twenty-eight. New Zealand was next. Japan had the lowest, at about twenty-two for women and twenty-four for men.The report had some good news, however, about high blood pressure. The percentage of people with this major cause of heart attacks and strokes has fallen since 1980. Dr. Ezzati credits that to the improved testing and treatment in wealthy countries. He says a decrease in the use of salt and unhealthful fats probably also helped.In the United States, new guidelines urge Americans to reduce salt, sugar and fatty meats and to eat more fish and whole grains. People are being urged to choose water instead of sugared drinks and to make fruits and vegetables half of a meal. But whatever they eat, Americans are being urged to follow new advice from the govemment: eat less.36. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Obesity leads to many health problems.B. Obesity has become a worldwide problem.C. People around the world worry about their health.D. People around the world suffer from high blood pressure.37. If a man has a BMI of twenty, he is most probably considered __________.A. too thinB. normalC. a little overweightD. obese38. What good news does the report tell us?A. Fewer people around the world use unhealthful fats now.B. There are better treatments for heart attacks and strokes now.C. High blood pressure is no longer a major cause of heart attacks.D. The percentage of people suffering high blood pressure has fallen.39. Overweight people are probably advised to __________.A. eat more sugar and less saltB. replace fish with whole grainsC. reduce the amount of salt they useD. eat nothing but fruits and vegetables40. On average, which of the following countries had the lowest BMI according to Paragraph 3?A. The Philippines.B. The United States.C. New Zealand.D. Japan.DEvery hour spent outdoors each week can reduce a child's chance of becoming short-sighted by two percent. Children who are short-sighted spend an average of 3.7 fewer hours a week outside compared with those who have normal vision, a study has found.Short-sightedness runs in families and has also been linked to a host of factors. They inclucle the amount of time spent focusing on near objects and levels of physical activity. But simply spending time out of the house may be enough to protect the eyesight. Being outdoors can reduce the amount of time that children spend in reading or playing computer games, researchers said.Between 15 and 20 percent of British people are short-sighted, but the problem is much more serious in parts of East Asia. There, as much as 80 percent of the population is short-sighted. One study compared children living in different countries. It founcl that those in Australia had better vision on average than people of the same age in China and Singapore. The Australian group read and achieved as much as those in other countries, but they were found to spend more time outdoors.Dr Sherwin, one of the researchers who did the study, said the benefit from being outdoors could be linked to increased UV radiation (紫外线辐射). Shorl-sightedness is caused by having longer eyes and some studies have shown that some chemicals affected by UV rays may control the length of the eye. A lack of sunlight could make such chemicals grow too much, he explained.He said, "It could be caused by not enough UV radiation, and it could also be caused by spending less time looking into the distance or not enough physical activity."41. What is the main idea ofthe passage?A. Children's short-sightedness can be cured.B. There are several causes of children's short-sightedness.C. Spending more time outdoors can lead to better eyesight.D. Children who spend more time outdoors are much healthier.42. What does the underlined word "They" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Near objects.B. Levels of physical activity.C. Fanulies which have short-sightedness.D. Some factors linked to short-sightedness.43. According to Paragraph 3, in the study children in Australia __________.A. achieved lessB. had poorer eyesightC. stayed outdoors moreD. spent less time reading44. Which of the following correctly shows Dr Sherwin's statement in Paragraph 4?a. increased UV radiationb. more time spent outdoorsc. longer eyesd. shorter eyese. less chemicals affected by UV rays. f. short-sightedness g. good visionA.b-e-a-d-fB.b-a-e-d-fC.b-a-e-d-gD.b-a-e-c-g45. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by Dr Sherwin as a cause of short-sightedness? .A. Receiving too little UV radiation.B. Not taking part in enough physical activity.C. Spending little time looking into the distance.D. Not eating enough food that is good for our eyesight. .第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息首先，请阅读以下问题：A. Most people want to exchange emails, but there are people looking for pen pals. One woman wrote that she only wanted to send and receive handwritten letters.

阅读理解专练(2012年广东省高一学生双语报34期)(含答案)

2012年广东省高一学生双语报34期高一年级阅读理解集训营第一天AHave you ever thought about why foods taste different? It's really quite amazing. Your tongue and the roof of your mouth are covered with thousands of tiny taste buds (味蕾). When you eat something, the saliva (唾液) in your mouth helps break down your food. This causes the receptor cells located in your taste buds to send messages through sensory nerves to your brain. Your brain then tells you what flavors you are tasting.Taste buds probably play the most important part in helping you enjoy the many flavors of food. Your taste buds can recognize four basic kinds of tastes: sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. The salty/sweet taste buds are located near the front of your tongue; the sour taste buds line the sides of your tongue; and the bitter taste buds are found at the very back of your tongue.Everyone's taste is different. In fact, your taste will change as you get older. When you were a baby, you had taste buds, not only on your tonguce, but on the sides and roof of your mouth. This means you were very sensitive to different foods. As you grew, the taste buds began to disappear from the sides and roof of your mouth, leaving taste buds mostly on your tongue. As you get older, your taste buds will become even less sensitive, so you will be more likely to eat foods that you thought were too strong as a child.Things like medications (药物治疗), smoking, not getting enough of the right vitamins, injury to the head, brain tumors, chemical exposure, and the effects of radiation can cause taste disorders. Imagine what it would be like if you could not taste anything? (286词)l. What can we know about the locations of different taste buds?A. The sweet ones are in the middle of your tongue.B. The salty ones are at the back of your tongue.C. The sour ones are on the sides of your tongue.D. The bitter ones are near the front of your tongue.2. Why is a baby very sensitive to different foods?A. Because it has the most taste buds on its tongue.B. Because it has the most taste buds in its mouth.C. Because it has more saliva in its mouth.D. Because it has taste buds in its throat.3. What's the best title for the passage?A. How to protect your sense of taste?B. How to make food taste better?C. The importance oftaste buds.D. Introduction to the sense of taste.BWith hundreds of ice climbs in the United States, both skilled climbers and beginners can practice their ice climbing skills and enjoy the excitement of reaching the top.

Be careful! You are not alone, and they were here first!Sea turtle? Yes, they are! In fact they have been coming to this beach for thousands and thousands of years, ever since their creation. Sea turtles don't come simply for enjoyment, as they depend on this beach for their nesting grounds. They return here again and again to lay their eggs. If the sea turtles' nesting beaches are harmed, polluted, or destroyed, thousands of sea turtles willstop hatching (孵化), ending their life cycle and forcing sea turtles closer into dying out.Before you travel to a Caribbean island, your knowledge and concern are very important to the future of sea turtles. Here are some guidelines for travelers to the Caribbean when you visit beaches used by turtles for nesting.◎Don't leave trash behind! Plastic bags are often mistaken for jellyfish (水母) and enten by turtles andl can kill them.◎Don't allow dogs on the beach. They smell out the nests, dig them up, destroy the eggs and kill the young.◎Campfires may "bake" the nests below, and discourage a mother from coming ashore.◎Don't use beach umbrellas.

Armchair umbrellas are recommended.◎Always turn off outdoor lights on all beachfront houses.◎Don't walk on the heach with a flashlight or shine one in its face.

There are so many things to hear, and so many new instruments, like iPods and headphones, which can harm your hcaring ifused improperly. Keeping the volume(音量) to a reasonable level on an iPod or other portable listening instruments is one of the most important ways to protect your hearing. Another great way to keep your hearing protected is to avoid loud noises whenever possible. There are many loud noises from power tools to machinery, and it is important to avoid these noises as often as possible. When it is not possible to avoid them, keep your hearing protected by using earplugs(耳塞).If you think your hearing may have already been damaged by modern technology, it is important to have your hearing tested by a physician.

He took home the top prize at the fifth annual texting event, beating 11 other competitors in the final, including last year's champion Brianna Hendrickson from Brooklyn, New York.Wiershke, who was wearing a gray shirt and having Justin Bieber's hairstyle, sailed through each level of the competition by typing passages of text on a QWERTY keyboard rapidly without any mistake. One special round even included being blindfolded(蒙眼) on the stage to make up phrases by memory."I'm extremely nervous," Wiershke said while waiting for the results after the final round. "I'm getting ready to hear Brianna's name. When I heard my name was announced, I really couldn't believe my ears." After the announcement was made, confetti (五彩纸屑) dropped from the ceiling and Wiershke was met on the stage by the singer who said that she liked texting very much. She was Ashley Tisdale, a famous and beautitul singer, who awarded him his check.In August, a film on Music Television called "Thumbs" took a behind-the-scenes look at the teenager's life. It shows how he practiced texting to be the fastest. The film followed a series of young texting competitors, including Brianna Hendrickson, in the weeks leading up to this year's LG US National Texting Championship.

I thought I would be a natural for climbing. I was always an athlete and naturally good at sports. So, I didn't understand why I was so bad at rock climbing.I went ro the rock gym and climbed all the time, and everyone kept telling me "Just climb more and you'll get better." Well, however, nothing I did was working. It felt like the harder I worked at it, the less progress I was actually making. After a while, I even started hating any climber who was stronger and better than me —especially the climbers who made it look so easy.After a long time, I started making friends with some of the most experienced climbers around ... professionals (专业人员) and full-timers. In fact, I felt so comfortable with them that onc afternoon I just came out and simply asked for help.There is a saying, "If you want a shortcut to success, find someone who is successful and ask them to show you how to get there." It's true! In just a few short months, I learned far more from these climbing professionals than what I had learned during the previous (之前的) years of struggling on my own. My climbing changed ... my strength, skills, mental toughness, foorwork, confidence, everything.I was no longer the average climber that no one knew. I bdiscovered that climbing like the experts is more about working smarter, not harder (no training 7 days a week). What I discovered is so simple that, looking back now, I realized the biggest thing holding me back from being abetter climber and having more fun doing it ... was ME! (291词)8.

I can also communicate at a basic-level Italian.My love of languages starts from childhood. From as early as pre-kindergarten, I began imitating (模仿) other people's accents. Although my ability to learn languages fast might be partially genetic (遗传的) (as my mother is a speech therapist and has a great ear for sounds and accents), I strongly believe my abilities today come more from my personal efforts and interests.My eagerness for learning foreign languages started when I was 12 years old in junior high school. We were given the choice of French or Spanish. I picked French. On a class trip to Quebec City, I noticed that I was totally crazy about trying my newly learned French with the local people while my classmates were less interested. This led me to studying French in my junior year of high school, and later, I also studied Chinese in college.While l've never lived in a Spanish-speaking country, l've reached a level of fluency in Spanish by watching a ton of Spanish TV series. The Portuguese comes from my own personal efforts while traveling in Brazil.Below I'll list the benefits of learning new languages and my personal tips on how to learn new languages:Children's development: lt's reported that learning foreign languages improves children's critical thinking skills. Kids studyng foreign languages do better in other subjects including mathematics and science.Finding a job: If an employer needs to fill a position, he /she will be much more likely to pick the person who knows a second language. Foreign language speakers have more advantages to bridge the link between a company and its customers.Making new fnends: I have met so many friends and nice people around the world, withwhom I would not be able to communicate if I couldn't speak foreign languages.Travel: When visiting other countries, the abiliry to speak the local language not only makes the trip more convenient, but also much more enriching. (354词)l. The author learned Spanish by __________.A. choosing the Spanish course in high schoolB. living in Spanish-speaking countriesC. imitating his relatives' accentsD. watching TV2. Which of the following benefits of learning a foreign language is NOT mentioned?A. Learning about different cultures.B. Making travel easy.C. Making friends.D. Finding jobs.3. What will be most probably talked about in the following paragraph?A. The importance of foreign languages.B. Examples of learning new languages.C. Some tips on learning new languages.D. The future of language learning.HWhat's it like to live, work, date and raise children in another country? A British woman living across Europe speaks to us.Louise Scharff, 41, from Haywards Heath, West Sussex. is an assistant at a health care company. She and her Danish husband, Jakob, who works at the Danish Chamber of Commerce, have twin daughters aged 10 and have lived in Denmark for 15 years.In Denmark, being a stay-at-home mother simply isn't done. There's a sense that women are equally capable (能干的) and well-educated and shouldn't be put to waste. There's excellent state childcare and most companies are happy to let parents work flexibly (灵活). Sometimes, l'll have a sense of guilt when I speak to my sister-in-law back in Britain who's a full-time mother, but for me there's no point in giving up work because there would be no fellow mothers to go for coffee with.It's a healthy life. We walk, cycle and run, and at weekends wc socialise as a family. Perhaps because many Danes don't get as much time with their kids during the week, it's accepted that we get together with friends in big family groups. It's not like in Britain where parents are dying to get a babysitter on Saturday and have some adult time.Getting married isn't the big expensive thing as it is in Britain, either. Danes, if they do marry, do so quietly and pay for the ceremony (典礼) themselves as a couple. I find that more honest and admirable.You do have to warm the Danes up. They're not quick to help you find your way on the street. When you do make friends with them, it's worth it. They are not boring people. Instead, they are capable of finding the fun side of things and make you laugh. (304词)4. We can infer that in Denmark __________.A. it's not easy to find a jobB. most mothers stay at homeC. women work harder than menD. mothers are encouragcd to work5. What do parents in Denmark usually do at weekends?A. They work overtime in the office.B. They are busy looking for a babysitter.C. They take their children to get-togethers.D.

She is worried about it.7. Which of the following words might the writer use to describe the Danes? .A. Dull..B. Lazy.C. Poorly-educated..D. Humorous.IIt is 87 years since Roald Amundsen, on December 14, 1911, stood at the South Pole. He had reached a goal that was the dream of many men. For the first time, human voices broke the silence of the world's southemmost point. This brought fame to Amundsen and his men. But in a letter, Amundsen openly said that no man had ever stood at a spot completely opposed (相对的) to his real drean, which for the great Norwegian was the North Pole.Amundsen was born in 1872 a Borge in southeast Norway. From boyhood days, he wished to be a explorer. He read all the literature he could get on exploration. He spent a great deal of time training his body. However, his mother wished him to study medicine. But at the age of 21, when both his parents had died, Amundsen sold his medical textbooks and announced his goal of becoming a polar explorer.After several attempts by ship to reach the polar area, Amundsen showed an early interest in planes as a helper to polar research. On May 11, 1926 the tireless explorer left Spitsbergen and went aboard the airship "Norge" (Norway). With him were Lincoln Ellsworth, Italian Umberto Nobile —who had constructed the ship and flew it —and the brilliant pilot Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen. In addition, there were 12 crew members.After a flight of only 16 hours, they were able to drop the Norwegian, American and Italian flags over the Pole. The "Norge" landed at Teller in Alaska on May 14. The crew had covered 5,456 kilometres in 72 hour, were the first men to have flown from Europe to America. The last remaining land on the world map had been filed in. (292词)8.

Studies show that a great deal of repetition is necessary for you to truly "own" a word. Repetition exercises can be verbal, oral, read or written.Use Several of Your SensesYou will understand new vocabulary better if you speak the word out loud as you write it down or read it.Mirrors and ActingWatch yourself in the mirror occasionally as you speak your foreign language. Practice various postures, and try acting out your feeling, such as angry, happy, or sad. Use the language to truly communicate your feelings so that it has some context.Make MistakesSome students are very nervous in foreign language class. You don't want to say anything stupid. However, learning a language almost guarantees that you will make mistakes. You just have to convince yourself that this is OK, and keep trying.______________________In your native language, you don't have to listen very well. You only actually hear some of the words being said and your brain fills in the rest. You can't do this when you are first learning a language. You have to train yourself to listen and listening to audio tapes can really help.Study StrategiesThink about how you learn best, and then put those methods to work. Many people benefit fiom flash cards, word association, memory tricks, or making up sentences using new vocabulary words. Find a "study buddy" that you can meet with to study and discuss the material you're learning.TranslationFor any modern language, translation is considered a no-no, though occasionally you can't avoid it. Consider the following expression in English: to be in a pickle. If you were to translate this word-for-word into another language, it would be nonsense.Study FrequentlyStudy often for short periods of time. Four half-hour study periods are usually more effective than a two-hour block. Languages cannot be learned at the last minute. They are learned through practice and review.Happy learning! (342词) l. What's the author's purpose in writing this passage?A. To give tips on learning a foreign language.B. To list some problems foreign language learners often have.C. To present some questions about learning a foreign language.D. To compare different methods of learning a foreign language.2. What's the best title for Paragraph 5?A. Ear training.B. Use audio tapes.C. Don't be nervous.D. Don't forget your native language.3. We can leam from the passage that "study buddy" may refer to __________.A. an audio tapeB. an electronic dictionaryC. a teacher who can help youD. a person you study together withKThe World Health Organization recently reponed that the number of cases of tuberculosis (TB) (肺结核) has been abating since 2006. Also, fewer people are dying from TB. But a study by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, says smoking could threaten this progress.Nearly twenty percent of all people use tobacco, and millions of non-smokers get sick from breathing the smoke. The new study predicts that smoking will produce an additional thirty-four million TB deaths by 2024.Efforts to control the spread of TB have mainly focused on finding and treating infections. Fewer efforts have been made to understand the causes. Dr Anthony Fauci is the director of the United States National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He said, "Despite our control efforts, we still have more than a million people each year dying from TB and millions of people getting infected; we realize it's still a very important problem. So we have to do the practical thing and we have to do the fundamental(基本的) research things at the samc time."Smoking does not cause TB; bacteria cause the infection. But the srudy says smoking affects the nervous system in a way that makes an inactive case of TB more likely to develop into an active one. Stanton Glantz is the director of the University of California's Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education and an author of the new study. He says it shows that TB cannot be controlled unless tobacco use is controlled. He said, "It increases the number of people who will get TB by about seven percent."The study is described as the first to identify a direct link between tobacco use and rates of TB infection and death. Professor Glantz says the results should guide those creating health policies and TB control efforts. He said, "If you want to control the infectious disease of TB, you have to control the tobacco industry and the tobacco industry's efforts to increase tobacco use, particularly in developing countries where TB is a big problem." (342词)4. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Scientists try to fmd the causes ofTB deaths.B. Study links smoking to millions ofTB deaths.C. Study shows smoking is harmful to our health.D. Scientists pay more attention to TB deaths than before.5. What does the underlined word "abating" in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Falling.B. Surviving.C. Rising.D. Responding.6. What would Dr Anthony Fauci probably agree with?A. TB infections are no longer a serious problem.B. More efforts are needed to find the causes of TB infections.C. Few efforts have been put into the work of treating TB infections.D. The practical and the fundamental research cannot be done together at present.7. It is implied in the passage that __________.A. it is not very hard to control TBB. people cannot blame smoking for TBC. an inactive case of TB is deadlyD. smoking indirectly leads to TBL。

2012年高一级双语报27期一、语言知识及运用第一节完形填空Last year was the first year when I taught the fifth grade. Recently, I've been I by a "graduated" student for the first time. I was really surprised when he walked into my home.He hasn't physically changed much since 2 my class last year and if I had had to guess who would come to visit me first, I wouldn't have thought of him. Carlos was a student who had a hard time sitting 3 in the beginning of last year. He would often 4 to go to the bathroom, and he'd talk or look like he was falling asleep because of little sleep. He often needed 5 in doing anything that other students could do well on their own.I found out that the reason for his behavior in my classroom was that he had been 6 nightmares (噩梦) about his border-crossing experience. He was 7 that the immigration office would take him or his parents to prison or back to their 8 . And here he was in my class trying to leam a(n) 9 language, which he had never touched before.When he was in my class, onc thing that stood out was that he had a(n) 10 time speaking English. But when he walked in my room yesterday, all of that was missing. In walked a calm, 11 boy who spoke and understood English far better than when he left me in June. He even 12 to speak to my class in the sixth grade in English.

The very first call I had was from 16 single mother. She was weeping. She told me she had got into a terrible car accident 17 made her lose her job, so she fell behind with her rent. She was being evicted (赶出) from her apartment and she and her two children had nowhere 18 (go).After she finished 19 (explain) the situation, she stopped and said, "I'm so sorry! Thank you 20 letting me tell my story. I've tried every shelter 21 church organization in the area but no one listen or cares."22 (fortunately), at that time we had no openings for family housing, so I took her number down and told her I'd call her right back. At last, 23 (find) an opening for a family in a shelter in her area. I immediately called her back! She was shocked 24 she answered my call. She said, "I never really expected you to call me back." I gave 25 the good news and she started weeping again. But this time they were tears of happiness and hope.二、阅读第一节阅读理解AThe cancer has weakened the mother to the point where she can no longer walk. The doctors feared she might become too weak to fight the illness, so they suggested giving her a shot which would energize her spirit for a while.Today was the day when the family might briefly have their mother back. Since she was ill, there has been a void(空虚感) which no one else could fill. She was a stay-at-home mom in her whole life. Being an only child, she wanted to have a dozen children, but her health only allowed for six to be born. She was always there keeping the house clean and cooking for the family. The mother was satisfied with her life, though she was the type of person who probably could have been succcssful no matter what she chose to do.After the shot, the mother opened her eyes, and gestured that she was getting up. Gaining her strength, she began walking to the kitchen.Everyone stared in disbelief as she placed a pot on the stove. The eldest son asked his mother what she was doing. In a loud voice she said, "I am cooking supper." "You should do something special with your time instead of wasting it on us," said a child. "You could go and take the boat out on the lake," another child said loudly.The mother patiently listened to the many possibilities, and then said, "No ... I don't want to do any of those things. My true joy in life has always been serving my family."After the supper, she fell asleep forever with a smile on her face.26. The shot given to the mother could __________. .A. completely cure herB. help reduce the pain caused by the cancerC. bring her energy back for a short timeD. help her fight the cancer for a long time27.

Improper nutrition is one of the causes of childhood obesity. What can you do to help your childavoid childhood obesity?My first piece of advice is to look in your fridge. What are you buying at the grocery store? Think about it: if you don't buy junk food or snacks, your kids won't eat them at home. Now if you're like me —both of your kids are at school, you'II know you can't police them every second of the day. This is the time when you'II need to talk to your children about their food choices. If you don't know the right food choices, there are so many free resources on-line to guide you.Try new things. I was very surprised to find out my 4-year-old daughter likes balsamic vinegar —she calls it the "black saucc". She likes to have it with tomatoes and cucumbers. You just nevcr know what your kids might like.Don't get stressed if you can't always prepare something healthy. You may sometimes leave the house and forget to take something out for dinner, or you are running late and there's no time to cook before you have to take one of the kids somewhere. However, you can still make healthy choices while dining out. Many of the fast food restaurants offer fruit and milk instead of soda. I like to buy organic frozen pizzas fiom the organic market —for a quick dinner solution(解决办法). All the ingredients are natural. What I do is to serve the pizra with something raw: letruce, cucumbers, tomatoes, or fruit to try to give the kids something healthy with that meal.In closing, take baby steps. Don't try to change your family's eating habits in one go, or you'll go nuts.31.

The storm weakened as it moved north. But Irene brought heavy rains and strong winds to the populated (人口稠密的) east coast.Hundreds of thousands of people were told to leave areas likely to suffer flood. That included parts of New York City where Mayor Michael Bloomberg ordered over two hundred and fifty thousand people to evacuate.Irene is blamed for more than forty deaths in the United States. Five deaths were reporwd in the Caribbean. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo estimated his state suffered one billion dollars in damage. Estimates place the total damage from the storm at about seven billion dollars. Insurance (保险业) companies are expected to pay forty to fifty percent of these costs. But costs of lost trade in the travel industry, especially in North Carolina, will be high at a time when the nation's economy is struggling.High winds and flood from Irene brought down electrical lines, causing about four million people to lose power. Days after the storm, hundreds of thousands were still without electricity.Many states in the path of Irene have reported disasters. Governors in several states asked over four thousand National Guard members to help in rescue. In North Carolina, some communities near the ocean were flooded and cut off from the mainland. And the small northeastern state of Vermont was especially hard hit. Emergency workers have had to airlift food and supplies to thousands of people trapped by flood waters.
