My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie, but to no avail. It was only when I turned to meditation(沉思)for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing, "I'm singing in the rain", a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain(限制) our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress.Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.If you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.1. The author felt depressed because she _______.A. couldn't consume her waking hourB. had not seen a film for a long timeC. had not finished her work on timeD. had worked on a hard job for too long2. The author walked in a nature reserve in the rain in order to_______.A. take photosB. find a solution to the projectC. hop along the pathD. cheer herself up3. The underlined part "to no avail" in Paragraph 1 probably means " _______.".A. unsuccessfulB. unrelatedC. uninterestingD. unexpected4. In the author's opinion, _______.A. a bath can make people relaxedB. depression is usually caused by hard workC. walking in a busy city centre harms people's healthD. adults should express their inner feelings freely5. The last paragraph mainly serves as a(n) _______.A. explanationB. suggestionC. introductionD. reminderBIt was a warm April day when a big fat envelope came in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending. I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word “congratulations.” I don’t remember ever smiling so wide.Then I looked at my financial package.The cost of Dream School’s tuition, room and board was around $ 40,000- an impossible sum! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition? My other choices were good, solid schools even if they weren’t as famous as my first choice.In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn’t sure what to do.One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents’ financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was smile politely, eat free food, listen quietly. But I surprised myself.At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus including guest lectures and social gatherings. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes,activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out that door, a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there.In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my “dream” university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me.6. How did the author feel when he started to read the letter?A. He was full of joy.B. He was lost in his dream.C. He was worried about the money.D. He was uncertain which school to go to.7. We can learn from the passage that the parents were _______.A. honestB. strictC. supportiveD. decisive8. In Paragraph 5, “offered me a full ride” can be replaced by “_______”.A. would pay for transport to the schoolB. would show me around the campusC. would offer free meals at all eventsD. would charge me nothing for tuition9. What does the author mainly want to say?A. Your second-choice college may actually by your best fit.B. You should consider comfort in your choice of schools.C. You should try your best to attend your dream school.D. Your choice of schools should be based on their fame.三．语法填空A strong memory depends on the health and the vitality of your brain．Humans are1 (high) social animals，so relationships stimulate our brains．In fact，interacting with2 may be the best brain exercise．Having3 (mean) relationships is vital not only to emotional health，but also4 brain health. In one recent study from th Harvard School of Public Health，for example，researchers found that people with the most active social 1ives had the5 (slow) rate of memory decline。

But touching things can help you to see them better.Your eyes can tell you that glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is.When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy, such as food, clothes and so on. To see something well, we have to touch it.The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a bad floor. All feel different under your feet.There are ways of learning to see well by feeling.One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch! There you can feel every thing on show. If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you’ll really see!”21. By touching things _______.A. you will have a strange feelingB. you will learn how to reach outC. you can tell the difference between themD. you can tell what colors they are22. Which of the following can be the best title of the story?A. Touching by FeelingB. To See or to FeelC. To See Better — FeelD. Ways of Feeling23. When people buy things in shops, they often _______.A. try them on firstB. put their right hand on themC. just has a lookD. feel and touch them24. Why does it say, “At first, it is not easy to feel these things?”A. The things are used by people, too.B. People are used to the things.C. People know how to use the things.D. The things are easy to feel.25. Which of the following is true?A. Touching can help people learn things better.B. Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us enjoy music.C. People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up.D. Visitors cannot feel the things on show in some museums.BDown-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.26．If a person has his nose in the air, he ____.A. is confidentB. is easy to deal withC. is down to the earthD. always thinks he is more important than others27．The underlined sentence “But the opposite is not always true.” most probably means that ______.A. the person who has his nose in the air is not trueB. a man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligentC. the opposite direction is always wrongD. a person who has both feet on the ground may not be down-to-earth28．From the passage, we can infer the person who is_____ is the most popular kind of person.A. down-to-earthB. standing on the groundC. with his nose in the airD. with his head in the cloudsCMrs. Keller had a big family .Her husband had a factory in the town .One of her sons was a lawyer and the other two were drivers .And her two daughters worked in the post office .The old woman stayed a t home and could do all housework and wouldn’t employ anybody .One evening ,the telephone rang while the old woman was preparing supper .She went to answer it .She was told that one of her sons died in a traffic accident .She heard this and fell in a faint .When she came back to life ,she was in hospital .And she needed to be helped after that .Several months later she was told on the telephone her daughter died while she was being operated on .The old woman was so sad that she had to be in hospital again .From then on she was afraid to answer any telephones and sometimes she was afraid to hear the bell .Of course it brought them some trouble and some important business was held up .So her husband advised herto see a psychiatrist .The man examined her carefully and then asked her some questions.“You will soon be all right if you follow my advice ,Mrs. Keller” said the psychiatrist.The old woman took the medicine the doctor gave on time and tried to forget her dead son and daughter .And two months later she went to see the psychiatrist again .“You have saved me, Doctor ,”the old woman said ,as soon as she saw him .“Are you afraid to answer the telephone now?”“No,” answered Keller .“I dare answer it whether it rings or not ”29 .Mrs Keller could do all housework because ______.A.she had no money to employ a helper.B.she was strong enough to do all at homeC.she didn`t believe anybodyD.only she was free at home30.The old woman fell in a faint because _____A.she went to answer the telephone.B.she was very ill that eveningC.she walked in the room carelesslyD.she heard the news about her son`s death.31 .After she came out of hospital ,Mrs Keller wasn`t ___as before .A.strongB.ableC.cleverD.sadDThe food we eat seems to have far-reaching effects on our health. Although science has made great steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illnesses is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that carcinogenic nitrates (致癌硝酸盐), commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives(添加剂), caused cancer. However, these additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives, which we eat, are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cows and other living animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.32. What is the best title for the passage?A．Food and Illness. B．Food and Culture.C．Health and Science. D．Drug and Health.33. How has science done something harmful to mankind?A．It has caused a lack of information concerning(关于) the food.B．Because of it, some harmful substances(物质) have been added to the food.C．Because of it, diseases caused by polluted food have been actually reduced.D．It causes animals to become fatter.34. What does the government try to do?A．Control the market price of food.B．Get rid of the additives from the packaged food.C．Use no medicine on the animals.D．Stop farmers from giving drugs to animals to make more money.35. The writer wants to tell the readers .A．man should avoid eating the food such as beef, poultry(家禽)B．man has come to realize that food has nothing to do with illnessC．sometimes science brings about ill effects to mankindD．people must prevent farmers from giving penicillin to animals第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AWhen I first told people I was going to work in Cameroon, the most common reaction was：“Why？” The second was：“It’s in Africa；you’ll die！” The third: “Where is that？” So let me give some answers. I was offered a job that looked interesting in a part of the world I’d never been to before. I’d also long had an interest in Africa, so I decided it was time to find out the reality. A small amount of research showed that in more than 40 years since gaining independence, Cameroon has been a peaceful country with no wars. Not only were there no wars but Cameroon is a food exporter to the region.Now, after three years, I can say that these have been the healthiest years of my life! No malaria or any of the other frightening diseases you read about when Africa is mentioned .The worst thing that ever happened to me was a bout of food poisoning-once.So what is it like to teach here? Well not surprisingly, not so different from anywhere else. Most students come to us with a bit of English in their heads. Cameroon is a bilingual country with French and English as official languages, while there are also close to 200 local ethnic languages in a country of 16 million people. French is the dominant language, spoken by about eighty percent of the population.The local school system is very traditional and somewhat strict. Perhaps not surprisingly when there can be up to 150 students in the classroom ( of which maybe 30 have the books, and there are probably seats for 70)．Like anywhere, students appreciate it if you know a bit about their country, and not just Roger Milla (top scorer of the 1990 World Cup, in case you’re wondering). It helps if you know the names of the ten provinces, know who the first president was, or can say a word in a local language.So in conclusion: Cameroon isn’t just football. Nor is it war, poverty and disease. It’s just life and people, like anywhere else.21. On hearing the writer’s decision, most people__________.A．admired himB．considered it as a jokeC．didn’t understand himD．laughed at him22. According to the passage, Cameroon is__________.A．peaceful after liberationB．a country full of diseasesC．a poor country, especially lack of foodD．quite different from others in education23. What can we infer from the passage?A. Food export may lead to many frightening diseases.B．Most students in Cameroon do not need books.C．Cameroon is not as bad as people commonly believed.D．There must be a lot of people suffering from food poisoning.24. Which language is spoken by about eighty percent of the population in Cameroon?A. local dialectB. FrenchC. An ethnic languageD. EnglishBAfter a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.25.The reason for Robert’s attempts to kill himself was that _________.A. a terrible traffic accident happened to himB. he had to live in a dark and silent worldC. he was struck by the lightning once moreD. nobody in the world cared about him26.What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?A. Taking a walk with a stick.B. Sheltering from the rain under a tree.C. Driving a car.D. Lying on the ground.27.We can infer from the text that ________.A. Robert’s wife sent for doctors immediately after the shockB. many doctors came because Robert was badly injuredC. there was no exact explanation for Robert’s recoveryD. a sudden injury in the head led to Robert’s recovery28.What’s the best title of the whole passage?A. A Terrible Electrical AccidentB. Robert Edwards and His WifeC. What a Sudden ShockD. An Unforgettable ExperienceCSome people view a bad situation as a disaster. It’s not. It’s an opportunity. Once yourold world collapses(倒塌), you can recover and rebuild. Now you have the chance to start freshand do things more intelligently. I built my business on an unstable structure. I kept it goingfor years, but the business collapsed last year. I had to leave my office, selling off all thefurniture and equipment. I got kicked out of my apartment because I couldn’t pay the rent. Icouldn’t pay my bills or debt. I declared bankruptcy.(破产)For years there was the worry that this might happen if I didn’t keep straining（尽力） tokeep the business going. And my worries were right. What I worried about would happen didhappen .But you know what? Going through that experience wasn’t really so bad. It was interesting.Some of it was actually pretty easy. Throughout most of it, I felt increasing relief and a renewedsense of freedom and possibility. All the old baggage was gone. No more office. Fewer possessions.Fewer obligations. No more debt. Most of all , no more straining. Life became a lot easier.I got a cheaper and smaller apartment. I became debt-free. I learned to live within my means.Those were actually good things. The others were just feelings. The reality wasn’t actuallypainful. After that, I kept going with the same business but completely changed the businessmodel. I avoided the earlier mistakes, and that business recovered just fine and worked great.It was profitable every year from then on. But I had to go through the collapse first to reachthat point.If you’ve been feeling out of control with your current work or lifestyle, and you’re currentlystraining to keep it going ,consider letting it go. Try allowing the old world to collapse, manyor all of your fears and worries might actually come to pass, but that’s ok. You don’t haveto keep the old world alive. If it keeps falling apart on you ,let it collapse. Experiencingthe collapse isn’t as bad as fearing the collapse29. The author regards the collapse of the old world as an opportunity to_____A. get a new world started in better waysB. turn to others for help to save ourselvesC. sum up the failure and make up for the mistakesD. bury ourselves in the disasters and then recover ourselves30. In the author’s opinion, the old baggage in Paragraph 2 included______A. the freedom and possibility of refreshing himselfB. the experience he learned from his former failureC. the old possessions and the invisible pressureD. the business knowledge and skills he got from various media31. What did the author do after his business failed last year?A. He cleverly transformed his business model.B. He started another completely different business.C. He received further training about doing business at collegeD. He borrowed some money from his friends and relatives to pay off his debts.32. According to the author, when our work or life is out of our control,we can_____.A. prevent it from falling apart on us.B. set it free or just let it completely break downC. keep straining and go on with determinationD. keep it alive with the courage to change it againDA lot of people are afraid of spiders(蜘蛛). One would even avoid walking in grass . And if he thought the spider was in the room or house, he would have to leave the house for days. In fact, fear of spiders is a type of disorder called specific phobia(恐惧症), one of the most common anxiety disorders, which annoys about 7% of the population, a study says. Common specific phobias also include fear of blood, needles, snakes, flying and enclosed spaces.The Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine tried the “exposure Therapy(暴露疗法)”, which was small, done on 12 adults, but all of them held or petted the spider afterward. One participant celebrated by getting a spider tattoo(纹身) after having been unable to even look at photos of spiders.This is the first study to document the immediate and long-term brain changes after treatment and to illustrate how the brain recognizes long-term to reduce fear as a result of the therapy. Every one would come in thinking: I am going to be the one who can’t do this . There is no way ,”H aunter ,author of the study ,says “They were impressed by the end.”In therapy lasting two or three hours, which is different for each person, the participants were taught that troublesome thoughts about spiders were untrue.”“They thought the spiders might be capable of jumping out of the cage and on to them,” Hauner says.Exposure therapy gets its name from exposing a patient to what he fears, says Todd, research assistant professor: “A lot of it about dispelling people’s beliefs. You can get significant changes in a short period of time”.33. Which of the following is true about the people with “specific phobia?”A. They don’t dare to walk in grassB. They are afraid of spiders by natureC. 7% of them need medical treatment.D. They have a sense of scare about something.34. What can we learn about “exposure therapy”A.

Failing SuccessfullyTwo years ago I took part in a speech competition and delivered a memorized speech. It was a hard time for me when the judge 1 the winners. At last, the moment of truth came. I got the worst.After not being placed in the competition, I really wanted to 2 again. I realized that finding the right topic was the most important part of the whole 3 . It needs to be motivational and inspirational to the 4 . So I reworked my speech for the following year, 5 a different topic and spending many hours before the computer and in libraries doing research. Then I worked 6 the speech, line by line, word by word, making it 7 better.The next year I participated in the competition again. I gave my 8 in two parts, one was about my own experience and the other was about the feelings that people usually have when giving a speech—how 9 it is, standing on a stage all alone, with everyone sitting and watching them. My speech 10 down well and I was hoping to do that a little bit better.11 , my wish didn't come true. The competition was so fierce and again I wasn't 12 .I was deeply disappointed, since I couldn't accept the fact that I had 13 twice in something that I had worked so hard on.

He advised me to struggle to 16 something like some of the empty gestures. He said that I would surely succeed someday.While I didn't earn 17 as a result of the competition, I did gain a new viewpoint. I discovered that I could fail successfully.

-学年辽宁葫芦岛一中高二下期初摸底考试英语卷解析版
一、阅读理解Back in the days when I wrote my first songs, I hated my voice.I saw myself as a songwriter and guitarist but never a singer!I continued to write songs,and to search for the perfect singer. After a few years I did discover a singer, so we started a project together.We held a few concerts, and put a lot of work into it. She forces me to sing some songs at concerts myself,so I started going to a bar to practice them. This was my first,small breakthrough.One day she came round to my flat and informed me that she could no longer work with me,and also that the bar owner at the open mic venue(麦克风场地) had replaced us at short notice because some New York jazz star happened to be in town, and was available that evening to perform.The first bit of news made me sad and disappointed, but the second made me angry.However, that same evening, with as much determination as I could muster (集合),I resolved to play three new songs at the bar, just as I had planned before. I was quite nervous, but I dragged myself down to the bar and sang those songs! I never felt so liberated(无拘束的). That night I couldn’t get to sleep. I was simply astonished, hardly believing that I was a person who acted so courageously, and that I’d been able to sing my songs myself.Si nce then I’ve begun to encourage others to adopt a similar approach when they aren’t able to see their own potential.One example is an amateur fiddler (小提琴手) who could barely bring herself to lift her instrument to play in front of people.I forced her to ignore her fear, and simply get on with it. Now, a year or two later, she is a passionate,happy performer in front of any crowd!Once you get the ball rolling in yourself, you can start inspiring those around you.1、What was the author’s first breakthro ughA、She found the perfect singer.B、She started a project with her partner.C、She started to practice songs at a bar.D、She was able to sing all of her songs.2、How did the author feel when she heard that her partner could no longer work with herA、Sad and disappointed.B、Sad and angry.C、Disappointed and angry.D、Astonished and angry.3、The amateur fiddler is mentioned in the last but one paragraph in order to show that the author ________.A、has a good relationship with her.B、encourages others to see their potential.C、can perform in front of any crowd.D、is very interested in making friends.4、What’s the passage mainly aboutA、How to work with other singers.B、The story of the author and an amateur fiddler.C、How the author became a singer through her fighting spirit.D、How to write beautiful songs.Losing a job is considered one of the five most stressful life changes you can experience. Those who have been there say it feels like being robbed of your identity and is as painful as the loss of a loved one.It may be hard to believe at first, but finally you can use this experience as your advantage—to find another, perhaps even better job, to strengthen your relationship with your family, and to make some much-needed changes in your life. Here are three essential steps.Step1 Get emotional support. Because it’s easy to feel uneasy and vulnerable 〔脆弱), turning to others is the key to making a smooth transition(过渡). You’ll need people who will listen and provide a safe place for you to cry, or to express your fears and concerns.Don’t go it alone. It takes courage to ask for help, and yet, help may be what you need most to move forward.Step2 Seek professional guidance. Getting assistance from a recruiter〔招聘人员) or career adviser will not only help you value your experience and improve your skills, it also will ensure that you put your best foot forward. Once again, your local unemployment office should have helpful resources.Once you’ve got a new job, create your own security. Keep your resume up-to-date, stay in touch with recruiters about the job market, and constantly improve your skills to stay marketable in your field.Although being laid-off can turn your life upside down, many people say that it gave them push they needed to start a new life!1、What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passageA、To ask the family for help.B、To stay in touch with recruiters in your field.C、To deal with the hurt from losing a job.D、To keep your resume up-to-date.2、The underlined title “Consolidate family ties〞probably means“________〞.A、find another better job for your family.B、strengthen your relationship with your family.C、make some much-needed changes in your family.D、create your own security to your family.3、Which of the following is true according to the passageA、Losing a job is stressful but is not so painful as the loss of a loved one.B、Turning to others is the main key to obtaining deepest sympathy.C、Asking for a career adviser will help you and improve your skills.4、We can infer from the passage that the author is most likely to ____________.A、be a life coach.B、be a keeper of family ties.C、memorize his or her loved one.D、work in an employment agency.They may be small, and unable to have an adult conversation, but babies are proving their collective cleverness.While your baby still might not be able to speak, he or she knows about you’re feeling down. Babies as young as 5 months of age can distinguish an exciting tune from a sad one, according to a study published in 20xx in the journal Neuron.Deciding whether another person is helpful or harmful is crucial in choosing friends — and that ability starts being visible early. Kiley Hamlin of Yale University showed both 6– and 10–month–olds some anthropomorphized(人格化的) shapes, in which one shape helped another climb a hill, while a third shaped pushed the climber down. The little ones then got to choose which shape they preferred. Forboth age groups, most babies chose the helper shapes. This character–judgingability could be the first step in the formation of morals, Hamlin says.1、What does the third paragraph mainly sayA、Babies are born to dance.B、Babies prefer classical music.C、Babies love listening to music.D、Babies can tell different tunes apart.2、What can be inferred from the passageA、Babies can understand emotions.B、Babies value friendship very much.C、It’s hard for babies to adapt to the world around them.D、Babies show no reaction to speech.3、Kiley Hamlin found that babies ________.A、love to make friends.B、learn nothing while asleep.C、can tell right from wrong.D、like watching anthropomorphized shows.The Internet can be a great way to connect with people. The latest web craze is social networking on websites such as MySpace. More than 65 million young people use online social networking sites.That cyberspace(网络空间) trend is causing problems in school, however. In a recent survey, nearly 36 percent of school administrators said that social networking sites troubled learning in their districts. Should school districts ban sites like MySpace“It is important to keep in mind that just blocking access to social web sites at school is not the end of the story,〞 warns NSBA executive director Anne Bryant, “Most of the misuse of these sites takes place at home but still affects the classroom.〞Some educators aren’t as quick to pull the plug on social networking. They say the main problem with sites like MySpace i s that students don’t understand the dangers involved in using them. “Many students are posting personal information about themselves without regard to who has access to that information,〞 JimHirsch said, “Schools should focus on educating their students and their parents on how to be safe online.〞Experts argue that too many schools are forbidding students to use social networking web sites without thinking about their educational benefits. “Social networking web sites can help connect students in the United States to their peers in other countries, providing invaluable lessons in foreign cultures,〞 explains Hirsch.1、Where do students usually misuse social networking sitesA、At the teacher’s office.B、At the net bar.C、At the classroom.D、At home.2、The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 may mean ________.A、some educators are in favor of students’ using social networking sitesB、some educators can’t block students from accessing social networking sitesC、some educators can’t connect so cial networking sites easilyD、some educators find it difficult to close social networking sites3、Which of the following is true according to the passageA、The Internet can’t be a good bridge to get along well with students.B、There are some students threatening other students by using social networking.C、Most of the misuse of these social web sites takes place at school and affects the home.D、Too many schools allow students to use social networking sites without Question.4、What might be the most suitable title for the passageA、Lessons OnlineB、Friendship OnlineC、Dangers OnlineD、Information Online。

AWhen I first told people I was going to work in Cameroon, the most common reaction was：“Why？” The second was：“It’s in Africa；you’ll die！” The third: “Where is that？” So let me give some answers. I was offered a job that looked interesting in a part of the world I’d never been to before. I’d also long had an interest in Africa, so I decided it was time to find out the reality. A small amount of research showed that in more than 40 years since gaining independence, Cameroon has been a peaceful country with no wars. Not only were there no wars but Cameroon is a food exporter to the region.Now, after three years, I can say that these have been the healthiest years of my life! No malaria or any of the other frightening diseases you read about when Africa is mentioned .The worst thing that ever happened to me was a bout of food poisoning-once.So what is it like to teach here? Well not surprisingly, not so different from anywhere else. Most students come to us with a bit of English in their heads. Cameroon is a bilingual countrywith French and English as official languages, while there are also close to 200 local ethnic languages in a country of 16 million people. French is the dominant language, spoken by about eighty percent of the population.The local school system is very traditional and somewhat strict. Perhaps not surprisingly when there can be up to 150 students in the classroom ( of which maybe 30 have the books, and there are probably seats for 70)．Like anywhere, students appreciate it if you know a bit about their country, and not just Roger Milla (top scorer of the 1990 World Cup, in case you’re wondering). It helps if you know the names of the ten provinces, know who the first president was, or can say a word in a local language.So in conclusion: Cameroon isn’t just football. Nor is it war, poverty and disease. It’s just life and people, like anywhere else.21. On hearing the writer’s decision, most people__________.A．admired himB．considered it as a jokeC．didn’t understand himD．laughed at him22. According to the passage, Cameroon is__________.A．peaceful after liberationB．a country full of diseasesC．a poor country, especially lack of foodD．quite different from others in education23. What can we infer from the passage?A. Food export may lead to many frightening diseases.B．Most students in Cameroon do not need books.C．Cameroon is not as bad as people commonly believed.D．There must be a lot of people suffering from food poisoning.24. Which language is spoken by about eighty percent of the population in Cameroon?A. local dialectB. FrenchC. An ethnic languageD. EnglishBAfter a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.25.The rea son for Robert’s attempts to kill himself was that _________.A. a terrible traffic accident happened to himB. he had to live in a dark and silent worldC. he was struck by the light ning once moreD. nobody in the world cared about him26.What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?A. Taking a walk with a stick.B. Sheltering from the rain under a tree.C. Driving a car.D. Lying on the ground.27.We can infer from the text that ________.A. Robert’s wife sent for doctors immediatel y after the shockB. many doctors came because Robert was badly injuredC. there was no exact explanation for Robert’s recoveryD. a sudden injury in the head led to Robert’s recovery28.What’s the best title of the whole passage?A. A Terrible Electrical AccidentB. Robert Edwards and His WifeC. What a Sudden ShockD. An Unforgettable ExperienceCSome people view a bad situation as a disaster. It’s not. It’s an opportunity. Once your old world collapses(倒塌), you can recover and rebuild. Now you have the chance to start fresh and do things more intelligently. I built my business on an unstable structure. I kept it going for years, but the business collapsed last year. I had to leave my office, selling off all the furniture and equipment. I got kicked out of my apartment because I couldn’t pay the rent. I couldn’t pay my bills or debt. I declared bankruptcy.(破产)For years there was the worry that this might happen if I didn’t keep straining（尽力）to keep the business going. And my worries were right. What I worried about would happen did happen .But you know what? Going through that experience wasn’t really so bad. It was interesting. Some of it was actually pretty easy. Throughout most of it, I felt increasing relief and a renewed sense of freedom and possibility. All the old baggage was gone. No more office. Fewer possessions. Fewer obligations. No more debt. Most of all , no more straining. Life became a lot easier.I got a cheaper and smaller apartment. I became debt-free. I learned to live within my means. Those were actually good things. The others were just feelings. The reality wasn’t actually painful. After that, I kept going with the same business but completely changed the business model. I avoided the earlier mistakes, and that business recovered just fine and worked great. It was profitable every year from then on. But I had to go through the collapse first to reach that point.If you’ve been feeling out of control with your current work or lifestyle, and you’re currently straining to keep it going ,consider letting it go. Try allowing the old world to collapse, many or all of your fears and worries might actually come to pass, but that’s ok. You don’t have to keep the old world alive. If it keeps falling apart on you ,let it collapse. Experiencing the collapse isn’t as bad as fearing the collapse29. The author regards the collapse of the old world as an opportunity to_____A. get a new world started in better waysB. turn to others for help to save ourselvesC. sum up the failure and make up for the mistakesD. bury ourselves in the disasters and then recover ourselves30. In the author’s opinion, the old baggage in Paragraph 2 included______A. the freedom and possibility of refreshing himselfB. the experience he learned from his former failureC. the old possessions and the invisible pressureD. the business knowledge and skills he got from various media31. What did the author do after his business failed last year?A. He cleverly transformed his business model.B. He started another completely different business.C. He received further training about doing business at collegeD. He borrowed some money from his friends and relatives to pay off his debts.32. According to the author, when our work or life is out of our control,we can_____.A. prevent it from falling apart on us.B. set it free or just let it completely break downC. keep straining and go on with determinationD. keep it alive with the courage to change it againDA lot of people are afraid of spiders(蜘蛛). One would even avoid walking in grass . And if he thought the spider was in the room or house, he would have to leave the house for days. In fact, fear of spiders is a type of disorder called specific phobia(恐惧症), one of the most common anxiety disorders, which annoys about 7% of the population, a study says. Common specific phobias also include fear of blood, needles, snakes, flying and enclosed spaces.The Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine tried the “exposure Therapy(暴露疗法)”, which was small, done on 12 adults, but all of them held or petted the spider afterward. One participant celebrated by getting a spider tattoo(纹身) after having been unable to even look at photos of spiders.This is the first study to document the immediate and long-term brain changes after treatment and to illustrate how the brain recognizes long-term to reduce fear as a result of the therapy. Every one would come in thinking: I am going to be the one who can’t do this . There is noway ,”Haunter ,author of the study ,says“They were impressed by the end.”In therapy lasting two or three hours, which is different for each person, the participants were taught that troublesome thoughts about spiders were untrue.”“They thought the spiders might be capable of jumping out of the cage and on to them,”Hauner says.Exposure therapy gets its name from exposing a patient to what he fears, says Todd, research assistant professor: “A lot of it about dispelling people’s beliefs. You can get significant changes ina short period of time”.33. Which of the following is true about the people with “specific phobia?”A. They don’t dare to walk in grassB. They are afraid of spiders by natureC. 7% of them need medical treatment.D. They have a sense of scare about something.34. What can we learn about “exposure therapy”A. It turned out to be quite effectiveB. The participants had to take some medicine.C. It had a better effect on adults than on children.D.

AShakespeare’s Birthplace and Exhibition of Shakespeare’s World Welcome to the world-famous house where William Shakespeare was born in l564 and where he grew up.

A wheelchair user may have no difficulty entering .A. the gardenB. the exhibition hallC. the Visitors’ CentreD. all aboveBI travel a lot in my work, and what I dislike about my job is eating alone. It always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking. So, room service for several nights was a better choice for me.After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston, however, I needed to get out of my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30, I arrived at 6:25. The waiter at the front desk made a comment about my “being there really early”. I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants. He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while.I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn’t enou gh time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment.Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!When I asked for my bill about one hour later, all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table, and presented me with a red rose. And I cried! What had begun as a lonely night ended as a beautiful experience.25. The author hated to eat alone in the restaurant because of______.A. the noises created by others aroundB. the feeling of being lonelinessC. the strangers laughing at himD. the dishes served there26. From the third paragraph, we can learn that the waiter at the front desk ______.A. was getting tired of his present jobB. found it hard to balance his work and his familyC. knew how to attract more customers to his restaurantD. had never had such a chance to talk about his worries27. The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to ______.A. show his love for this restaurantB. teach us a lessonC. share a moving experienceD. recommend a good restaurant28. What does the underlined word comment in the second paragraph mean？A. explanationB. complaintC. descriptionD. remarkCY our children’s teacher will be providing extra time for test preparation. This schoo l year’s test will be held on January 8 and 9. The test preparation time is open to all students, and we strongly encourage your children to attend.This year we are changing the time for our test preparation: it will be on Thursday mornings from 8:10 to 8:50. This helps children who ride the bus and cannot stay for the after-school period. It also helps avoid conflicts with after-school activities.Danielle and Marina will be working with the recent new test takers 6 days on the following Thursdays: 15th, Nov; 29th, Nov; 6th, Dec; 13th, Dec.; 20th, Dec. and 3rd, Jan.Besides the test preparation lectures on these dates, teachers are already putting test preparation into their usual courses. We are finding that we can help our students to be both skillful and whole-hearted readers and test takers — after all, we all know that the best test preparation is good reading and writing training.What can you do at home? Again, the best and most effective test preparation for the ELA test is reading and more reading. The research is quite clear — students who do well in the tests are those who are good readers. Reading not only builds reading ability, it also helps build confidence —important for successful test taking! But do discourage your children from spending too much time on books that are too hard or even a bit too hard. Children best develop comprehension skills when they are reading books just right for them (too easy doesn’t hurt here either).Finally, on Friday, December 7, we will have a morning lecture on the ELA. Please pay attention!29. The text is intended for________.A. teachersB. studentsC. parentsD. lecturers30. Why is the time for test preparation changed?A. To help the new test-takers have more time to readB. To make it more convenient for the students to attendC. To avoid disagreement in time between different years of studentsD. To avoid conflicts between preparation time and the usual courses31. What should parents do at home?A. encourage their children to read more difficult booksB. make sure their children read more books fit for themC. discourage their children from reading easy booksD. spend more time reading books with their children32. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To informB. To explainC. To complainD. To describeDMost young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some form---football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion(激情) for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with surprise. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their free time.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.33. Why does the author mention some physical activities in the first paragraph?A. To compare them.B. To bring up the topicC.To offer some informationD. To give the readers some advice34.Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because ________.A. it requires no skillsB. it is too dangerous for climbersC. it can’t bring pe ople joy and leisureD. it is free of man-made rule是for climbers to follow.35. From the text, we can learn________.A. a mountain climber needs to have high mental and physical qualitiesB. men and women have to suffer hardship only in mountaineeringC. there is no man-made rules in games, such as golf and footballD. mountaineering is not suitable for middle-aged people第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

People in many places are digging up the old folk stories and the messages in them. For example, most American storytellers get their tales from a wide variety of sources, cultures, and times. They regard storytelling not only as a useful tool in child education, but also as a meaningful activity that helps adults understand themselves as well as those whose culture may be very different from their own.“Most local stories are based on a larger theme,” American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, “Cinderella(灰姑娘), or the central idea of a good child protected by her goodness, appears in various forms in almost every culture of the world.”Working with students in schools, Pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories. She works with prisoners too, helping them know who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives. If they don’t like试卷第2页，共12页the story they are living, they can rewrite the story. Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers. “For every advance in business,” she says, “there is a greater need for communication.” Storytelling can have a great effect on either side of the manager-worker relationship, she says.Pugh spent several years in Nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was linked to the everyday life of the people there. The benefits of storytelling are found everywhere, she says.“I learned how people used stories to spread their culture,” she says. “What I do is to focus on the value of stories that people can translate into their own daily world of affairs. We are all storytellers. We all have a story to tell. We tell everybody’s story.” 1、What do we learn about American story tellers from Paragraph 2 ? A ．They share the same way of storytelling. B ．They prefer to tell stories from other cultures. C ．They learn their stories from the American natives. D ．They find storytelling useful for both children and adults.2、The underlined sentence (Paragraph 4) suggests that prisoners can _____. A ．direct filmsB ．settle down in another placeC ．start a new lifeD ．become good actors3、Pugh has practised storytelling with _____ groups of people. A ．2 B ．3 C ．4 D ．54、What is the main idea of the text?A ．Storytelling can influence the way people think.B ．Storytelling is vital to the growth of businesses.C ．Storytelling is the best way to educate children in school.D ．Storytelling helps people understand themselves and others.In most languages, a greeting is usually followed by “small talk”. Small talk means the little things we talk about at start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather: “Nice day, isn’t it?” But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purposeof small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safer topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk in English. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching: “Great game, isn’t it?” At bus stops, people may comment about the transport system: “The bus service is terrible, isn’t it?”Greetings and small talk are important parts of conversation in any language. The way people greet each other and the things they talk about, however, may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behavior of the people who speak it.5、Small talk __________ .A．is a kind of conversation with short wordsB．is a greeting when people meet each otherC．is to let people disagree about somethingD．is something we talk about to start with a conversation6、Why do people need small talk?A．To choose a topic for conversation.B．To agree about the weather.C．To let meeting people become easier and more comfortable.D．To learn a language.7、The passage suggests that when we learn a language ,__________．A．we should grasp the importance of the languageB．we should know the culture of the languageC．we should only master the grammar and vocabularyD．we should learn about the transport system of the countryMaybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, becontent it grows in yours.试卷第4页，共12页It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Do not rely on one's appearance, it can deceive. Do not rely on wealth, even that fades away. Rely on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them.Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.The happiest of people do not necessarily gave the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry, those who have been hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tired, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off.When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying. 8、The writer thinks the trouble with some people is that they __________. A ．always take a long view about problems B ．look at problems all-sidedly C ．can be good at doing with problems D ．deal with problems one-sidedly9、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A ．We often don't know what we have lost until it happens.B ．If it takes you an hour to love someone, you will easily forget her.C ．If you give someone your love, you are sure that she will give her love to you in return.D ．If someone accepts your love and he doesn’t give you his love in return, you should be angry with him.10、If you put yourself in another's position, ___________.A．you should depend on wealthB．you shouldn't do those things that will hurt you and other peopleC．you will do what you want to do however dangerous it is to peopleD．you should depend on other people11、In the last paragraph of the passage, the writer is actually telling us that a man in the world should be one who __________.A．can accept the suggestions made by othersB．can live happily and forget the pastC．does good for the people and is respected by themD．has made a lot of money for himself when he diesI was very sympathetic with world leaders burdened with resolving conflicts between nations. When my three children were young, in most days it was hard to keep my house from becoming a war zone. It got worse as they grew older. Three years ago, Zack, then 16, couldn’t make it through a day without playing tricks on his sisters, Alex and Taryn, then 11 and 9.My husband and I tried to understand his adolescent moodiness. We begged, reasoned, punished, and left heartfelt notes on his bed about how his behavior was hurting our family. His response was a shrug and “I say it because it’s true”.I even tried telling the girls to fight back. But it was a bad idea. Now I had three kids at war. At wit’s end, I poured my heart out to my sister in an e-mail. She wrote back, “Don’t e-mail me. E-mail him.”Our son was online every day, mailing and instantly messaging his friends. So what if I was within shouting distance? Maybe he would actuall y hear me this way. There’d be no yelling or door slamming（猛然关闭）. Zack wouldn’t feel under attack. And with a few simple keystrokes, he could respond. Or not. Zack didn’t reply for days. When he finally did, his entire message was four words. I expected th e worst, but then smiled when I read them, ”You are right. I’m sorry.” The kids still fought, of course, but Zack scaled back the abuse (恶习). Best of all, I now have an effective way to communicate with not one but three easily annoyed teens. They don’t tune me out as much. They don’t like to listen to me nag (唠叨) .Or as Alex says, “You’re so much nicer online.”All I know is that the house is quiet, and we’re talking. In fact, Taryn just instantly messagedme from upstairs. It’s time to take her to softbal l practice.试卷第6页，共12页12、The purpose of this passage is to tell us _________ . A ．how to solve family problemsB ．how a mother shows her love to her childrenC ．how to treat kids in a more sensible wayD ．the value of understanding between parents and children13、By the first sentence of the passage, the author really means to be_______. A ．humourous B ．sympathetic C ．serious D ．inspiring 14、How did Zack react when the author first tried to stop his bad behavior ？ A ．He was annoyed and got worse. B ．He talked back to the author. C ．He felt sorry and changed.D ．He was persuaded and acted politely.15、Zack stopped fighting with his sisters because _________ . A ．his mother learned how to mail him B ．his mother stopped yelling and nagging C ．his sisters learned to instantly message himD ．his mother had more friendly communications with him online二、完形填空（题型注释）Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list in our past that we felt of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.This seemed like a very 38 pr ocess, but there’ s always some soul in the crowd who will volunteer.

Descriptions of unicorns have been found dating from ancient times. The great philosopher Aristotle theorized that there were two types of unicorn--- the so-called Indian Ass and the Oryx, a kind of antelope(羚羊). Unicorns are often used in the logo of a noble family, town council or university as their special sign. Even Scotland is represented by a unicorn.According to the legend, anyone attempting to catch a unicorn had to be extremely cautious as it has a reputation for being very fierce. A clever trick suggested by unicorn-trappers, in order to catch this magnificent beast without being hurt by its horn, was for the hunter to stand in front of a tree and then to move quickly behind it as the unicorn charged. Hopefully, the creature could then be captured when its horn was stuck in the tree.When hollowed out and used as a drinking-cup, the unicorn’s horn was said to have the power to offer protection against poison. It was believed that nobody could be harmed----by drinking the contents of a unicorn’s horn. Right up until the French Revolution in 1789, the French court was said to have used cups made of “unicorn” horn in order to protect the king. In addition, the horn was said to have medicinal value, so much so that it could be sold for more than ten times the price of the same weight of gold. What, then, was “unicorn” hor n? We know at times the rhino(犀牛) was confused with this legendary creature. A drinking-cup supposedly made of “unicorn” horn was discovered to be made of the horn of a rhino.1. Which of the following is TRUE of the unicorn?A. It was not historically recordedB. Its horn was first used in FranceC. It was similar to the Indian Ass and the OryxD. It could be the symbol of a university2. To catch a unicorn, the unicorn-trappers had to try all of the following EXCEPT____.A. tempting the unicorn to attackB. making use of the tree as a protectionC. hiding quickly behind the unicornD. having the unicorn horn stuck in the tree3. The last paragraph is mainly about ____.A. the properties of the unicorn hornB. the users of the unicorn hornC. the price of the unicorn hornD. the comparison between the unicorn horn and the rhino horn4. In the last paragraph, the word "unicorn" is in quotation marks because _____.A. the cup is designed only for a royal familyB the unicorn does not exist in realityC. the unicorn is the rarest animal in the worldD. the medicinal value of the horn is appreciatedV 七选五：How to Do Man-on-the-Street InterviewsThe man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot. __1___ But with these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.●When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, “Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?” ___2___●Hit the streets with confidence. __3___Say, “Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic.” This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.●Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera. Don’t g et discouraged.● 4 Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. If everyon e is giving you the same answer, you won’t be able to use it. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. 5A. Limit your time.B. As you approach people, be polite.C. If you don’t own a camera, you can buy one.D. For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.E. To get good and useful results, ask them the same question.F. That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.G. With a question like this, you will get more than a “Yes” or “No” reply.。
