人教版高三英语总复习第二轮-试题(含答案)

人教版高三英语二轮复习试题阅读理解Margaret Mead, the most famous anthropologist(人类学家）in the world, was born in the USA in 1901,the oldest of five children. Her father was a professor of finance and her mother was a sociologist. After studying psychology as an undergraduate, Mead began a PhD in the relatively new field of anthropology. Mead was particularly interested in primitive communities because she believed that such isolated cultures could serve as "laboratories" that would reveal ways of living that the modern world had forgotten about but needed to remember.Having travelled to Samon, a few tiny volcanic, tropical islands in the center of the Pacific Ocean, Mead gradually got interested in gender roles and discovered that modern societies are far more strict in this area than primitive ones. For example, Americans tend to think of men as productive, sensible, and aggressive, while women are often told they're more light-hearted, peaceful, and nurturing. But in her 1935 book, Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies, Mead studied tribes in Papua New Guinea and recorded that in the Arapesh tribe, both men and women were peaceful and nurturing, while among the Mundugurnor tribe, men and women were both ruthless and aggressive.Mead's striking conclusion is that it isn't gender that makes women curl their hair or listen to people's feelings, or race that makes some nations regularly attack their neighbors. Rather, it's the social expectations and norms that have laid the groundwork for each individual's psychological makeup."We must recognize, "she reminded her readers, "that beneath the superficial(表面上的）classifications of sex and race, the same potentialities always exist, occurring again generation after generation, only to perish because society has no place for them."She is regarded as one of the most influential social scientists of the last century. People around the world mourned the death of Margaret Mead in 1978.A year later, the president of the United States, Jimmy Carter, honored the social scientist with America's highest award for civilians.1．What can we learn about Mead from the text?A．She was influenced by her mother to be an anthropologist.B．She majored in psychology and anthropology as an undergraduate.C．She believed isolated cultures could expose forgotten ways of living to the modern world. D．She discovered modern societies are less strict in gender roles than primitive ones.2．It can be inferred from Mead's study in tribes thatA．the world is filled with separate cultures.B．no gender characteristics are ever simply" human nature".C．knowing another culture will help us reflect on our own.D．social standards are responsible for individual's development.3．What does the underlined word "them" in the third paragraph refer to?A．Shared potential among humans.B．Classifications of gender and race.C．Social expectations and norms.D．Individual's psychological makeups.4．What's the passage mainly about?A．The difference between men and women.B．The recommendation of Mead's book.C．The introduction about a great anthropologist.D．The groundwork for each individual's makeup.七选五Apps such as WeChat and TikTok have gained popularity in recent years.1．Also TikTok is already a household name globally, maybe one of the Chinese brands to truly be recognized universally.WeChat is particularly relied upon as a secure part of the structure of our technologically advancing societies.2．Moreover, a court in Haidian allows litigants(诉讼当事人）to communicate with their lawyers through WeChat video connections.Many features of WeChat alongside its well-thought-out design has meant that the app has dominated its competitors domestically, especially during the disorderly origin years of 2012-13,when it was gaining traction.The ability to move through web pages without tags and save articles alongside other offline content within the app simplified the online experience.3．This is a fantastic application designed to combine the comprehensive nature of the web experience with the simplistic convenience of mobile apps.4．An example is that, instead of a loading white screen, users, when opening a PW A app such as WeChat, will simply at first see the content that had been previously browsing, allowing them to pick up where they left off, much like reading a book.The intuitive(直观的）design is what makes WeChat not just an app in communicating with friends and family. 5．You can also order a taxi through it.

S., it’s customary to have a cheer squad (啦啦队) to supportgames, and provide support on the sidelines of most events. But students who participate in performing and visual arts seldom receive the same displays of support as athletes do. A group of students at Mountain View High School in Orem, Utah, decided to change that fact by creating a cheer squad just for the arts.Their school’s athletics cheer squad is called the Bruin Crazies, so they named their artistic cheer squad the Bruin Classies! This is a new brand with which they could create something for all of the arts, whether it is band, dance show, photography and art galleries—to give them some publicity and cheer them on.Classies wear a “uniform” of bow ties to indicate the “sense of class”artistic efforts bring their school. They carry around signs to advertise the upcoming play, musical, or dance performance. Hoping to drum up ticket sales, they encourage their fellow students to come out to support the hard work of others. They also attend performances and displays at school to cheer their classmates on.After years of discussion to make a cheer squad for the arts, this is the first time they’ve been able to pull it off. More than 90 students have already signed up to be a Bruin Classy! “The students have poured their time and energy into their arts, and it is worthy to be celebrated. ”Caleb Stay, the cheer squad leader, said, “If you worked really hard on something and no one showed up, it would be disappointing. We just want to make sure that no one feels that way. ”This is such an amazing idea! We can’t believe no one has come up with it before, but hopefully these thoughtful teens have started a new trend to support the arts in other schools, too.4．Why did the students in Mountain View high school set up the Bruin Classies?A．To support the arts in their schoo1.B．To compete with the Bruin Crazies. C．To participate in the art performing.D．To cheer the athletes on in the games. 5．How do Classies make the art performances appealing to students at school?A．By offering free tickets to students.B．By popularizing the art performances.C．By inviting students to attend performances.D．By wearing a special uniform for art festivals.6．What can be inferred from Caleb Stay’s words?B．Few students like to attend the art performance.C．The artistic cheer squad will become a new trend.D．The students’artistic efforts deserve to be admired.7．What is the best title of the text?A．Move over, “Crazies,” the “Classies” are hereB．“Crazies” keep up, never give in to “Classies”C．The Bruin Crazies, a “uniform” of bow tiesD．The Bruin Crazies, a big hit in Orem, UtahElectricity has started flowing from the Hornsea 2 wind farm, which will become the world’s largest offshore wind farm when it is complete. Located in the ocean off the UK’s east coast, it is unlikely to hold the title long, however. The expansion of onshore wind has flattened out, but offshore is in the rapid growth phase,and some huge projects are under development and consideration.When complete, Hornsea 2 will consist of 165 wind turbines (涡轮机), each with a peak capacity of 8 MW. At 1,320 MW, Hornsea 2 will take the title of world’s largest from the neighboring Homsea 1, which has smaller but more numerous turbines, for a total capacity of 1,218 MW.The project came in the fortuitous-timing. The possibility that limitations in gas supply and a cold winter could seriously disturb electricity networks in the UK, causing anxiety for months. Even a small part of Hornsea’s eventual production will help reduce that danger. On its first morning, it contributed to almost 50 percent of Britain’s electricity.Meanwhile, the development coincides (类似) with China’s largest offshore wind farm, Jiangsu Qidong, which reached full operation a day later. At a total of 802 MW, Jiangsu Qidong is behind either Hornsea stage, but it is twice the size of the existing offshore wind farm outside Europe. North American wind farms usually standardize with a single size of turbine, but Jiangsu Qidong uses seven models.Neither Hornsea nor Jiangsu Qidong compares to the giant wind farms being developed by Denmark and South Korea,and the more potential giant off Iceland. Even before those come to fruition, Hornsea’s third stage—with 2,400 MW soon to start construction—will leave them well behind.10 percent of global wind production. It’s also currently more expensive. However, prices are falling faster for offshore, as turbines get larger and experience grows. It is anticipated that the next round of UK wind farms, instead of requiring subsidies (补贴), will return money to the public.8．What is Britain trying to do to provide more energy recently?A．Expand more onshore wind power farms.B．Produce more electricity from fossil fuels.C．Develop wind power from the land to the sea.D．Build the world’s largest turbine off the coast.9．What does the words “in the fortuitous—timing” mean in paragraph 3?A．At a high speed.B．In a wide range.C．At the right moment.D．Ahead of schedule.10．How is the passage mainly developed?A．By making comparisons.B．By following time order.C．By listing some statistics.D．By giving some examples.11．What is the author’s attitude toward the offshore wind farms?A．Skeptical.B．Tolerant.C．Favorable.D．Objective.Despite their endless social activities, closely packed urban environments often come with the hidden phenomenon of increased loneliness. According to Dr. Vivek Murthy, United States Surgeon General, the global “loneliness epidemic” is an overlooked consequence of urban living that carries serious risks, associated with heart disease, depression, anxiety, and dementia.While there are many ways to overcome loneliness, such as redesigning urban architecture to help facilitate social interactions or making it easier for people to own pets, a new study also recommends adding nature into the mix.The findings, published in the journal Scientific Reports, follows a review of assessments provided by more than 750 U. K. residents who volunteered to use a custom — built smartphone app for two weeks. The participants were questioned randomly three times a day using a technique called an “ecological momentary assessment”. In addition to questions about overcrowding and social inclusion (融入), the volunteers were asked about their naturalof“momentary loneliness” were then ranked on a five-point scale.According to the more than 16, 600 assessments received, overcrowded environments increased feelings of loneliness by a shocking 38%, regardless of age, gender, education level, or occupation. When people were able to interact with green spaces or hear birds or see the sky, however, loneliness dropped by 28%. Social inclusivity, defined by the research team as feeling welcomed by a group or sharing similar values, also dropped loneliness by 21%.These findings appear to correlate (联系) with previous research into the mental benefits of walking through natural areas. Johanna Gibbons, leader of the research team, further indicates that high-quality green and blue spaces such as parks and rivers in dense urban areas, which is often viewed as a key weapon in the fight against climate change, can also be critical in improving our own well — being and reducing feelings of isolation. She said, “I believe deep in our souls, there are really deep connections with natural forces.”12．What problem is discussed in paragraph 1?A．Urban living lacks social connection.B．Loneliness is a growing threat in cities.C．Modern cities are getting overcrowded.D．Aging population are facing more risks.13．What did the social survey focus on?A．How loneliness affected people of all ages.B．What the root of the loneliness in cities was.C．How hi-technology improved people’s lives.D．What people’s favorite living surroundings were.14．What might help deal with urban loneliness according to the new survey?A．A life experience in nature.B．Low rates of social activities.C．An overcrowded environment.D．A design of urban architecture. 15．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Playing hard is harmful to mental health.B．People in green spaces may be more cheerful.C．Global warming changes our characteristics.D．Everything is connected with natural forces.Qualities of good leadersLeaders are needed to manage a country or any organization.

高三英语二轮复习专题一强化练(七)

强化练(七)主旨大意题(2)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2023·浙江五校联考)On Mondays, two of my children get ready for school in an unusual way.Each packs plenty of food and water, a pair of rubber boots and sometimes a cup of hot chocolate.Then, I drop them off at a nearby park where they spend the entire day outside at a certified forest school.When I first let them sign up for the forest school program，I loved the idea, but as a mum，I was concerned about a few things: Would they be comfortable outside for that long? Would they stay engaged for that many hours? Then I asked them if time ever seemed to move slowly，they stared at me in confusion.They didn't understand my question, which fittingly removed my concern.In this program, kids direct their own play，climbing tall trees or testing ice on the frozen lake.They are never told their play is too high or too sharp, but are rather trusted toself-adjust.Something else my sons appreciate about the forest school is not being told to move on to the next activity, but being left to stay in a particular spot for as long as their curiosity allows.“What about all the things they're missing in real school？”concerned parents have asked me.Neither of their classroom teachers thinks it's a problem, but most significantly, my kids are learning new and different skills that a classroom cannot teach.They are learning to sit silently and observe nature up close—a skill that's virtually impossible to develop in a noisy and overcrowded classroom setting.They are making social connections across a broader range of age groups.They cooperate together, using their different sizes and strengths to fulfill various roles within their games.I appreciate it that the forest school is shaping my boys' relationship with theoutdoors.They're learning how to spend extended periods of time in nature, what to do to pass the time，and developing knowledge that will get them much closer to nature in the coming decades.1．What is special about the forest school program?A．Teachers engage in kids' play.B．Kids play and learn outdoors.C．It focuses on nature protection.D．It offers various foods and drinks.2．How did the author feel about kids' reaction to her question?A．Awkward. B．Concerned.C．Relieved. D．Proud.3．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．The concerns caused by the program.B．The benefits gained from role-play.C．The skills acquired by children.D．The games loved by teachers.4．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Nature：a Wonderland for the YoungB．The Forest School Program Proves a HitC．Parks Are Replacing Traditional SchoolsD．Forest School：a Fine Place for My Kids[语篇解读]本文主要讲述了作者的两个儿子在森林学校项目中的收获以及该项目的好处。

高三英语二轮复习外刊阅读训练：怎样面对悲伤的情绪

高考英语外刊阅读训练——阅读理解：怎样面对悲伤的情绪——改编自How to face sad emotion Death is a natural part of life but the death of someone we love can be one of the most difficult experiences. While everyone deals with death differently, it is important to understand that how we deal with grief can depend on our personality and individual circumstances.Grief is an emotion that we feel when we experience loss, and it can manifest in many ways such as shock, guilt, anger, and disbelief. Some people may want to grieve privately, while others may want to share their feelings with friends and family. It is important to remember that there is no "right" way to grieve –each person has their own unique journey.Experts recommend that people should express their emotions rather than hiding them. It's important to talk about your loss or even cry and sob to show that you are grieving. Keeping the memory of a loved one alive is also an essential part of the grieving process. You might speak to them in your mind or write letters to them. Sharing memories with other people who knew them can be positive too.For some, making a permanent reminder of someone has helped them with the grieving process. Memorial tattoos, forinstance, offer a continuing bond with the deceased. This could be helpful for those who still struggle to come to terms with their loss.While the physical pain of losing someone will eventually ease, the memories we hold can last forever. It is okay to talk about them and to express your feelings as this is all part of the healing process. However, as singer Patti Smith once said, "loss is something we never get over." It remains within us but we must learn to cope and find ways to move forward.【重点词汇】1. natural [ˈnætʃrəl] adj. 自然的2. difficult [ˈdɪfɪkəlt] adj. 困难的3. experience [ɪkˈspɪəriəns] n. 经历4. deal with 处理5. grief [ɡriːf] n. 悲伤6. emotion [ɪˈməʊʃn] n. 情感7. manifest [ˈmænɪfest] v. 显示出8. shock [ʃɒk] n. 震惊9. guilt [ɡɪlt] n. 内疚10. anger [ˈæŋɡər] n. 愤怒11. disbelief [ˌdɪsbɪˈliːf] n. 不信，怀疑12. privately [ˈpraɪvətli] adv. 私下地13. share [ʃeə(r)] v. 分享14. person [ˈpɜːsn] n. 人15. journey [ˈdʒɜːni] n. 旅程16. expert [ˈekspɜːt] n. 专家17. recommend [ˌrekəˈmend] v. 建议18. express [ɪkˈspres] v. 表达19. hide [haɪd] v. 隐藏20. talk [tɔːk] v. 谈话21. cry [kraɪ] v. 哭泣22. sob [sɒb] v. 泣泪23. memory [ˈmeməri] n. 记忆24. alive [əˈlaɪv] adj. 活着的25. essential [ɪˈsenʃl] adj. 必要的26. speak [spiːk] v. 说话27. mind [maɪnd] n. 意识28. letter [ˈletə(r)] n. 信件29. positive [ˈpɒzətɪv] adj. 积极的30. permanent [ˈpɜːmənənt] adj. 永久的31. reminder [rɪˈmaɪndə(r)] n. 提醒者32. continue [kənˈtɪnjuː] v. 继续33. bond [bɒnd] n. 纽带34. deceased [dɪˈsiːst] n. 已故者35. struggle [strʌɡl] v. 斗争36. term [tɜːm] n. 术语37. physical [ˈfɪzɪkl] adj. 物理的38. pain [peɪn] n. 痛苦39. eventually [ɪˈventʃuəli] adv. 最终40. hold [həʊld] v. 持有41. last [lɑːst] v. 持续42. singer [ˈsɪŋə(r)] n. 歌手43. cope [kəʊp] v. 应对44. find [faɪnd] v. 找到45. ways [weɪz] n. 方法46. move [muːv] v. 移动47. heartbreak [ˈhɑːtˌbreɪk] n. 心碎48. individual [ˌɪndɪˈvɪdʒuəl] adj. 个人的49. encourage [ɪnˈkʌrɪdʒ] v. 鼓励50. unexpected [ˌʌnɪkˈspektɪd] adj. 意外的【阅读理解练习题】1.

山西省2012高考英语二轮复习专题训练：阅读理解（67）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AA programmer and an engineer are sitting next to each other on a long flight from Los Angeles to New York. The programmer leans over to the engineer and asks if he would like to play a fun game. The engineer just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.The programmer persists and explains that the game is really easy and has a lot of fun. He explains, “I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5. Then you ask me a question, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $5.” Again, the engineer politely refuses and tries to get to sleep.The programmer, now somewhat agitated, says, “OK, if you don’t know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $50!” This catches the engineer’s attention, and he sees no end to this torment(折磨) unless he plays, so he agrees to the game.The programmer asks the first question. “What’s the distance from the earth to the moon?” The engineer doesn’t say a word, but reaches into his wallet, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the programmer. Now, it’s the engineer’s turn. He asks the programmer, “What goes up a hill with th ree legs, and comes down on four?” The programmer looks up at him with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all of his references. After about an hour, he wakes the engineer and hands him $50. The engineer politely takes the $50 and turns away to try to get back to sleep. The programmer, more than a little miffed, shakes the engineer and asks, “Well, so what’s the answer?” Without a word, the engineer reaches into his wallet, hands the programmer $5, and turns away and goes back to sleep.1. What’s the best title for the passage?A. A Boring ConversationB. A Fun GameC. A Trick During The FlightD. A Question Without Answer2. What’s the meaning of the underlined work “agitated”?A. Angry.B. Excited.C. Surprised.D. Curious.3. What kind of person is the programmer according to what he said?A. Confident.B. Selfish.C. Greedy.D. Generous.4. What can we infer according to the last sentence?A. The engineer has little money with him.B. Actually the engineer doesn’t know the answer, either.C. The engineer is bored with programmer.D. The engineer beats the programmer at last.5. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. In the beginning the engineer is not interested in the game.B. The engineer is too sleepy to want to play the game.C. At last the engineer gains $45 from the programmer.D. Nobody knows the answer to the engineer’s question.BRecently I spoke to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated, and what kind of job prospects they thought they had.Given that I teach students who are training to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind of help is that?” I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.“Surgery(外科手术)”, one replied.I was pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job.One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows, you can get at least 5cm taller!”At that point, I was shocked. I am short, I can’t deny that, but I don’t think I would put myself through months of agony(痛苦) just to be a few centimeters taller. I don’t even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as I’m not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that justdoes not exist in reality.No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost.In my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.6. We can know from the passage that the author works as ________.A. a doctorB. a modelC. a teacherD. a reporter7. Many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery to ________.A. marry a better man\womanB. become a modelC. get an advantage over others in job-huntD. attract more admirers8. According to the passage, the author believes that ________.A. everyone should purchase perfection, whatever the costB. it’s right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobsC. it is one’s appearance instead of skill s that really matters in one’s careerD. media are to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgery9. What does the author think of his height?A. He hates to be called a short man.B. He tries to increase his height through surgery.C. He just accepts it as it is.D. He always wears shoes with thick soles to hide the fact.10. The best title for the passage should be “________”.A. Young Graduates Have Higher ExpectationB. Young Graduates Look to Surgery for Better JobsC. Young Graduates’ Opinion About Cosmetic SurgeryD. Young Graduates Face a Different Situation in Job-huntCThe day my fiancé fell to his death, it started to snow, just like the bottom hadn’t fallen out ofmy world when he fell off the roof. His body, when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it pile up.One morning, I shuffled(拖着脚步走) downstairs and was surprised to see a snowplow(扫雪机) clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling my walk. I dropped to my knees, crawled through the living room, and back upstairs so those good Samaritans would not see me. I was mortified. My first thought was, how would I ever repay them? I didn’t have the strength to brush my hair, let alone shovel someone’s walk.Before Jon’s death, I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors. I defined myself by my competence and independence. How could I respect myself if all I did was sit on the couch everyday and watch the snow fall?Learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wasn’t easy. Friends cooked for me and I cried because I couldn’t even help them set the table. “I’m not usually this lazy,” I swept. Finally, my friend Kathy sat down with me and said, “Mary, cooking for you is not a burden. It makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.”Over and over, I heard similar words of comfort from the people who supported me during those dark days. One very wise man told me, “You are not doing nothing. Being fully open to your grief may be the hardest work you will ever do.”In many ways I have changed for the better. I have been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom that comes from facing one’s worst fear and walking away whole.11. What made the author feel sad?A. Her fiancé’s sudden death.B. Constant heavy snow.C. Her fiancé abandoning her.D. Her job being refused again.12. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “mortified” in Paragraph 1?A. Surprised.B. Angry.C. Ashamed.D. Moved.13. It is _______ that helped the author out of darkness.A. herselfB. her friendsC. her fiancéD. a snowplow14. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The author was a capable and independent woman.B. The author was so lazy that she wouldn’t shovel the walk.C. Finally the author got through hardest work bravely.D. When facing the worst fear, you will get strength.15. What’s the author’s purpose in the passage?A. To talk about her hardest work in her life.B. To talk about her real love between her and her fiancé.C. To tell us to walk out of hardest work confidently and bravely.D. To tell us the importance of friendship.1--15 BBABC CCDCB ACBBC。

高三英语二轮复习外刊阅读训练：激发孩子学习兴趣的方式

高考英语外刊阅读训练——阅读理解：激发孩子学习兴趣的方式——改编自Ways to stimulate children's interest in learning Intrinsic motivation, also known as natural curiosity, is keyto children's learning. These inquisitive beings are more likelyto excel when they find learning fun and important. On the other hand, extrinsic motivation, such as rewards and punishment, is not as effective with younger students. Therefore, experts suggest allowing children some degree of autonomy and freedom in their learning.When trying to stimulate a child's interest in reading, let them choose which books they want to read. It doesn't matterif it's a graphic novel, TV guide, or classic literature, as long as their appetite for reading is being stimulated. Additionally, building a relationship with the child as learners is crucial. Listen to their negative feelings about certain activities and explain why they are valuable, even if not exactly enjoyable.It may be time to abandon the use of threats and rewards and instead give children more choice in how they learn. By stimulating their intrinsic motivation and allowing them to view their learning as their own free will, children can become more engaged in their education.【重点词汇】1. intrinsic [ɪnˈtrɪnsɪk] adj. 固有的，内在的2. motivation [ˌməʊtɪˈveɪʃən] n. 激励，动机3. natural [ˈnætʃrəl] adj. 自然的，天然的4. curiosity [ˌkjʊəriˈɒsəti] n. 好奇心5. inquisitive [ɪnˈkwɪzətɪv] adj. 好问的6. excel [ɪkˈsel] v. 超出，优于7. engage [ɪnˈgeɪdʒ] v. 吸引，参与8. extrinsic [ɛksˈtrɪnsɪk] adj. 外在的，非固有的9. reward [rɪˈwɔːd] n. 奖赏，报答10. punishment [ˈpʌnɪʃmənt] n. 惩罚，处罚11. effective [ɪˈfɛktɪv] adj. 有效的12. degree [dɪˈɡriː] n. 程度，学位13. autonomy [ɔːˈtɒnəmi] n. 自治，自主权14. freedom [ˈfriːdəm] n. 自由，自主15. stimulate [ˈstɪmjuleɪt] v. 刺激，促进16. interest ['ɪntrəst] n. 兴趣，爱好17. graphic [ˈɡræfɪk] adj. 图像的，图表的18. novel [ˈnɒvl] n. 小说，新奇的19.

ATracy Caulkings is known as the first American to set an American record and win an American title in each of four swimming strokes: breaststroke, butterfly, backstroke, freestyle.Tracy Caulkins was born in Minnesota and lived in Iowa until she was six. She began swimming when she was eight, after the family had moved to Nashville, Tennessee. While unwilling at first to swim in cold water or get her face wet, she began to train in earnest (认真地) as her talent became clear. Though her father worked for the public schools, the family sent her to a private school when the public schools could not accommodate (适应) her training schedule.At age 13, Tracy Caulkins took part in the trials for the 1976 Olympics, but did not make the team. She continued to win national and international titles, and was disappointed in 1980 when the U.S. didn‟t attend the Moscow Olympics. She continued to train and compete.In 1981,Tracy Caulkins began college, graduating in 1985.In college, she continued competing and training, though she had slowed down from her peak (顶峰) years.Caulkins trained especially hard for the 1984 Olympics, and not only made the team, but was captain of the swim team, and at Los Angeles, won three gold medals and was named Sportswoman of the Year by the U.S. Olympic Committee. After that she retired from swimming, and was a commentator(解说员)for swimming events as well as taking advantage of her fame to do business.Tracy Caulkins married Australian swimmer, Mark Stockwell, in 1991, their romance having begun at the 1984 Olympics when he jumped into a warm-up pool to introduce himself. They married in Nashville and moved to Australia, where they had three children who have dual citizenship. Caulkins continued to be professionally involved in sports.1. Where did Tracy Caulkins begin swimming?A. In Los Angeles.B. In Iowa.C. In Minnesota.D. In Tennessee.2.

Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment.Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don‟t get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal（叙旧）with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have.Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry!Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?If you have n‟t seen much of them lately，is it because you have become too busy? Have yougrown apart? Was there an argument?If the main reason you haven‟t been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time. Compare it with your real values and priorities（优先考虑的事）in life. Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?If you have become too busy for friends, why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over-committed because you never say “No” to anyone? Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be delegated to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities.

Ventresca; directed by lecturer Nicuo Krell with music direction by guest artist Gia Gan.Run TimeApproximately2hours(including a10-minute intermission).SettingIn this new musical set in nineteenth-century Argentina,the gaucho(高乔人)community of San Antonio de Areco(a town in Buenos Aires Province,Argentina)faces growing threats to its traditional way of life from large landowners'newest technology-barbed(带刺的)wire fence.A young gaucho named Mateo struggles to break free from his family's dying way of life to become a writer.Then with some help,Mateo escapes to Buenos Aires.There,he meets Sofia,wh0shakes his narrow-minded view of the world.As modernity takes shape,Mateo is torn between choices:his family or the one he could create,his culture or the movements of the world.Special NotesNo flash photography permitted.Please silence all electronic devices including mobile phone and watches,and avoid text messaging for the duration of the

least one week in advance at21.Who worse the Gaucho:A New Musical?A.Guest artist Gia Gan.B.Two university students.C.Lecturer Nico Krell.D.Artists in the Wallace Theater.22.What is the theme of the

advance.B.Wait in line at the door of the theatre.C.Contact the Lewis Center for tickets.D.Switch off their electronic devices.BMy friend and I recently took an art class together through our town's community education program.Our classmates were a mix of ages,stages of life,and experience with making art.We stood out in the class—not for our artistic talent,but for our consistent encouragement of ourselves,each other,and the group.It got me thinking how encouragement had become a routine.It became something of a joke between the two of us to compliment(赞美)each other,offer a positive comment when another student showed his or her work,and generally chat around the table about how fun our project was going.But reflecting back,our positivist was anything but a joke.It was a bright light in my week,a space where I knew I could be surrounded with kindness,gentleness,and positivist.Here's the most special thing about it;my friend's and my positive conversation wasn't just encouraging,it was true,We didn't go for cheap or false compliments like,"This painting should be in a museum!”Instead,we went for authentic(真实的)expressions of support and encouragement,like,“I love how you did that cloud!”Over time,the class became something of a sacred space,because we had made a habit of using encouraging,supportive language.Sentence-starters like,"I like,""I appreciate,""I want to try,"kept us present,positive,and honest.The encouragement also kept us engaged in the work of making art.I feel sure that I learned more—and practiced more at home—because the activity was shown in such consistently positive terms,grounded in a growth mindset,self-acceptance,and encouragement.Having a friend to share an encouragement habit is fantastic,but you can practice it on your own as pliment yourself in the mirror every morning.Keep a running"great work."list of thing?you are doing well today.Trust in your ability to find something loving—and true-to comment today and every day.24.What do we know about the author's classmates?A.They admired those talented in art.B.They didn't take art class seriously.C.They were of the same artistic level.D.They were on good terms in the class.25.How did the classmates turn their class into a sacred space?A.By showing false compliments to others.B.By decorating their class as a museum.C.By displaying abstract art works in the class.D.By offering supportive language around them.26.What did the author think of the art project?A.It made him hopeful and confident.B.It needed to provide more practice.C.It was cheap and easy to carry out.D.It promoted his communication skills.27.What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A.To introduce a community education program.B.To call for good action to support those in needC.To describe how to make encouragement a habit.D.To comment on the power of authentic expressions.CPolar bears are icons of the Arctic.Detailed monitoring of their populations is crucial for their conservation—but because polar bears are so difficult to find,we are missing critical data about population size.Scientists have now developed a new tool to help:DNA analysis using skin cells left in the bears' footprints in the snow.The scientists were inspired by the techniques that can be applied to tiny,degraded DNA samples.With these techniques,it isn't necessary to physically capture bears,which can be stressful and dangerous for both bears and humans.Instead,the researchers can turn to the snow tracks of polar bears and look at sources of DNA left in passing—environmental DNA."The tracks usually contain fresh cells,and the DNA is intact because of the cold'storage'temperature,"said Dr.Melanie Lancaster of the World Wide Fund,lead author.The scientists collected snow from individual tracks made by Alaskan polar bears in the wild.Additional materials like hair and saliva(唾液)were sampled,confirming that the tracks provided accurate genotype(基因型)24wild polar bear tracks were sampled.The researchers melted and filtered the snow to collect environmental DNA,then carried out micro-satellite analysis.Although the concentrations(浓度)of DNA taken from trucks sampled in the wild were very low,13of the wild polar bear samples could be genotype,identifying12different individuals.This technique has huge potential to inform conservation of these animals,to better understand their populations and behavior.Although the sampling has a lower success rate,ease of collection means that it can significantly expand sample sizes."We hope this method will be taken up by the polar bear research community,with the involvement of hunters,volunteers,and local communities,as a new way to collect information on polar bears,"said Lancaster."We also hope the method will be expanded to other animals living in snowy environments."28.Why do scientists develop the new method?A To improve the environment in the Aretic.B.To protect humans from the polar bears attack.C.To find solutions to global climate change.D.0To gather essential data for monitoring polar bears.29.What does the underlined word"intact"mean in paragraph2?A.Unknown.B.Undamaged.C.Unusual.D.Unstable.30.What did the scientists do in the study?A.They tracked and caught polar bears in the wild.B.They recorded the bears'behaviors with cameras.They analyzed DNA from polar bears'snowy footprints.D.They compared the polar bears'genotype with other animals?.31.What is Lancaster's attitude toward the method?A.Disapproving.B.Favorable.C.Uncertain.D.Suspicious.DWhat do you see in the image?The image can be challenging tointerpret,and most people need a clue to see the pattern.It shows a Dalmatian dog.An interesting aspect of this experience is that once you've perceived the pattern,you can't unset the dog.Whether we like it or not,our brains look for patterns in various contexts.Much of our everyday understanding is linked to the concepts we lean in school and through interaction with others.On top of this,there are learned cultural patterns to interpret works of art,music,poems,etc.Once we know the patterns,they profoundly influence how we perceive cultural products.So we see the world through patterns we have acquired.These patterns can be applied in all forms of teaching.The great benefit of seeing a pattern in an area of knowledge is that it can be applied to new problems.A student who has understood a pattern can not only answer questions taken directly from the learning material but can use it in other types of tasks.The key question,therefore,is how a student can discover the relevant patterns and create real understanding.There are different ways to highlight patterns.Analogies(类比)are powerful tools for creating understanding.An example is the number line(数轴)in elementary mathematics.When children learn addition,it is easy for concrete combinations of objects:three apples plus two apples make five apples.The same is true for subtraction(减法):If you have six apples and remove four,you are left with two.But this doesn't work when it comes to negative numbers.How do you explain that if you have three apples and remove five,two are missing?Then,an effective analogy is to see the number line as something you walk along—the line becomes a path.Addition with three is like walking three steps forward,and subtraction with five is like walking five steps backward.No wonder that if you walk three steps forward and then five steps back,you are two steps behind where you started.In this way,the negative numbers acquire a meaning rooted in experience.More patterns of numbers can now be understood.32.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.The underlying effect of patterns.B.The ability to acquire the art skills.C.The way to find the Dalmatian dog.D.The benefit of interacting with others.33.Why should patterns be used in education?A.It is easy for students to master them.B.All types of tasks have the same pattern.C.They can help students solve new problems.D.They are the necessary learning materials.34.What does the example in paragraph4and paragraph5suggest?A.There are different ways to acquire experience.B.Analogies are good methods for teaching patterns.C.Addition is much easier than subtraction in maths.D.The number line can solve all mathematics problems.35.What is the best title of the text?A.Understanding Is Seeing a Pattern.B.The Best Principle for LearningC.Walking Back and Forth on a Number Line.ing Patterns to Learn Mathematics第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

AI was off to go back to work one evening when I saw my two children were busy sewing things on the sewing machine. My 11-year-old daughter was, in the midst of her project, going to assist her elder brother in making a little cushion. I left, and after a few hours returned to find a mess in the kitchen and in the front room, and both children sitting in front of the television.Having had a long day, I was too tired to greet them and then I noticed the material my daughter had used. It had been purchased to make a color-coordinated（颜色协调的）baby blanket, and now had chunks（块）cut out of almost every piece of fabric（织物）. Not stopping to listen, I exploded at the children and explained how angry I was at what had been done.My daughter listened to me sheepishly, not trying to defend herself at all, but the pain could be seen written across her face. She retreated to her room, and spent some time there alone before she came out to say good night and once again apologize for the mistake she had made.A few hours later, as I was preparing to go to bed, I found that there on my bed lay a beautiful, little cushion made out of the forbidden fabric, with the words “I LOVE MOM”. Alongside it was a note apologizing again, and the innocence in which she had taken the fabric.To this day, I still get tears in my eyes when I think of how I reacted and still feel the pain of my actions. It was I who then went to her and apologized for my actions. I display with great pride the cushion on my bed, and constantly use it to remind me that nothing in this world is greater than a child’s love.1.

The passage is mainly to tell about .A. a mom’s tearsB. a mom’s loveC. a child’s loveD. a child’s complaintBIf you exhibit positive characteristics such as honesty and helpfulness, the chances are that you will be thought as a good-looking person, for a new study has found that the perception（认知）of physical attractiveness is influenced by a person’s personality.The study, led by Gary W. Lewandowski, has found that people who exhibit negative characteristics, such as unfairness and rudeness, appear to be less physically attractive to observers. In the study, the participants viewed photographs of opposite-sex individuals and rated（评分）them for attractiveness before and after being provided with information about their personalities.After personality information was received, participants also rated the probability of each individual’s becoming a friend and a dating partner. Information o n personality was found to significantly change the probability, showing that cognitive（认知的）processes modify（修改）judgments of attractiveness.“Thinking a person as having a desirable personality makes the person more suitable in general as a close relationship partner of any kind,” said Lewandowski.The findings show that a positive personality leads to greater expectation of becoming friends, which leads to greater expectation of becoming romantic partners and, finally, to being viewed as more physically attractive. The findings remained consistent regardless of how “attractive” the indiv idual was formerly thought to be or of the participants’ current relationship status.“This research provides a positive outcome by reminding people that personality goes a long way toward determining your attractiveness; it can even change people’s impr essions of how good looking you are,” said Lewandowski.5. What did participants do in the study?A. They exhibited negative characters such as unfairness and rudeness.B. They rated people’s attractiveness through photographs before and after knowing their personalities.C. They tried to make friends with each other.D. They tried to prove that positive characters make people more attractive.6. What’s the CORRECT order of how cognitive processes modify judgments of attractiveness?a. find a person having a positive personalityb. view him / her more physically attractivec. want to make friends with him / herd. want to be his / her romantic partnerA. a → b → c → dB. a → c → d → bC. a → c → b → dD. a → d → c → d7. Which of the following is WRONG?A. Personality can change people’s impressions of how good-looking you are.B. Positive personality may lead to more friends.C. The judgment of attractiveness remains unchanged after two people have become close friends.D. According to Lewandowski, the research reminds people to pay more attention to their personality.8. The passage is written in a（n）tone.A. subjectiveB. humorousC. doubtfulD. objectiveCJenny Bowen, an American living in Beijing, has been selected as the only American to carry the 2008 Beijing Olympic torch on Chinese soil. She and seven other non-Chinese winners werechosen from a pool of 262 applicants（申请者）from 47 countries in a contest organized by Chinese computer maker Lenovo Group and the official English-language newspaper, China Daily. When Bowen runs with the Olympic torch, she will not only be representing the United States, but also be representing thousands of Chinese orphans（孤儿）.Bowen, a mother of two adopted Chinese daughters, is the executive director of Half the Sky Foundation, an organization which was founded in 1998 and aims to enrich the lives and improve the prospects for orphaned children in China. In nearly 10 years, Bowen and Half the Sky have touched the lives of over 13,000 children. Half the Sky is now present in 36 welfare（福利）institutions in 28 Chinese cities. About 4,000 children are active in the program, which provides trained staff, educational tools, medical support and nurturing love for orphans.Bowen hopes that running with the Olympic torch would help draw attention to the children in China. She will be among 19,400 runners who will carry the flame along an 85,000-mile, 130-day route across five continents. Beijing organizers say it will be the longest torch relay in Olympic history.Like Bowen, the seven other non-Chinese winners, including a German engineer and a Venezuelan graphic designer, live in China. Other countries represented will be the Philippines, Colombia, India, Japan and Russia.According to Olympic organizers, candidates（候选人）were selected based on an online vote, committee selection, their “love of Chinese culture and history” and devotion to “communicating information of a real China to their native countries”. Each runner will carry the torch for 200 meters on Chinese soil.9.

President Nicolas Sarkozy gave the first traditional New Year’s greeting of his presidency, with a “message of hope, faith in life and in the future”.In Russia, Vladimir Putin delivered the last New Year’s Eve address of his eight-year presidency, boasting of（夸耀）economic improvements and claiming to have restored a sense of unity among Russians, who are likely to see him stay in power as Prime Minister after he steps down in a few months. In Moscow, thousands gathered in Red Square, watching a concert beneath the onion domes（圆顶）of St Basil’s Cathedral, and fireworks above.Along with the innovations, old traditions were maintained.More than a million people in New York’s Ti mes Square cheered at the 100th drop of a giant ball. A century ago the tradition began with a 700-pound ball of wood and iron, lit with 100 25-watt bulbs. This year’s event featured an energy-efficient ball clothed in Waterford crystals（水晶）, with 9,576 light-shining diodes（二极管）that generated a lot of colors.In London, people gathered in Trafalgar Square and along the banks of the River Thames to watch a firework display and hear Big Ben welcome the New Year with 12 resounding bongs.In Sydney — one of the first cities to celebrate the New Year — one million people cheered as fireworks were launched from the Harbor Bridge on New Year’s Eve.14.

AHorror seized the heart of the World War Ⅰ soldier as he saw his life-long friend fall in the battle. Caught in a trench（战壕)with continuous gunfire whizzing（发出呼啸声）over his head，the soldier asked his captain if he might go out into the “No Man's Land” between the trenches to bring his fallen comrade back.“You can go,” said the captain，“but I don't think it will be worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your o wn life away. ”The captain's words didn't matter, and the soldier went anyway.To one's surprise，he managed to reach his friend，raised him onto his shoulder，and brought him back to their company's trench. As the two of them fell in together to the bottom of the trench，the officer checked the wounded soldier, and then looked kindly at his friend. “I told you it wouldn't be worth it,” he said. “Your friend is dead，and your wound is deadly. ”“It was worth it，though，sir. ”the soldier said. “How do you mean…worth it‟?”responded the captain. “Your friend is dead!”“Yes sir. ”the soldier answered. “But it was worth it because when I got to him，he was still alive, and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say，…Jim，I knew you'd come. ‟”Many a time in life，whether a thing is worth doing or not really depends on how you look at it.

When the soldier saw his close comrade fall in the battle，he felt .A. surprisedB. excitedC. frightenedD. worried2.

Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. The soldier was wounded seriously.B. The captain cared about the soldier very much.C.

Nearly eight months later，the excited couple walked through water into the Pacific Ocean at Point Reyes，a day ahead of time.“We are a little sad that a great adventure is over. It was a fantastic adventure. And now we go home and just de housework. It's really sad. ”Marcia，who said she's in her 50s，and her 60-year-old husband traversed cities，deserts，mountains and farmland before reaching the Pacific alone with arms around each other's backpacks.They overcame deep snow in the East，a quicksand in Utah，close lightning strikes in the Midwest and strong desert sandstorms in the West while averaging 22 miles a day and taking only four days off. But they enjoyed the French history of St Louis，the beauty of the Colorado Rockies and the kindness of strangers they met along the way.They particularly remember two brothers—a doctor and dentist—who put them up in their homes around Chester，Ill. ，after terrible days，and a motorcyclist who gave them water after they failed to find any on Utah's lonely Wah Wah Desert.“Americans are truly warm-hearted and wonderful people. ”Marcia Powers said. “We got to meet people that we would never meet in our daily living at home. We got to touch it with our feet and hands and smell all its scents（香味）and hear its wildlife. It's an amazing country，”she added.5. The underlined word “traversed” in the t hird paragraph means“”.A. enjoyedB. moved across，through or overC. overcameD. looked at6. After the long walk，Marcia and Ken Powers felt sad probably because .A. they had to do the heavy housework againB. they had no way to earn their livingC. they couldn't go on enjoying their walkD. they had experienced too many difficulties7.

Which one of the following will be the best tide for the text?A. A couple finished a 4,900-mile walk across AmericaB. A long and hard walk across AmericaC. An old couple reached the Pacific OceanD. An old couple enjoyed America for eight monthsCChinese scientist Qin Dahe was awarded the International Meteorological（气象学的)Organization Prize，the top prize of the world Meteorological Organization（WMO）on Tuesday.Qin，born in 1947，is a glaciologist（冰河学家). As a member of the 1989 International Trans-Antarctic Pole Expedition he became the first Chinese ever to cross the South Pole. Qin has published numerous ground-breaking articles using evidence gathered from that trip.“Inspired by the honor，I will continue my efforts to promote China's meteorological researches with our brilliant team members. ”Qin said at the cerem ony.“Meteorological and climatic conditions frequently go to extremes nowadays，against the background of global climate change. It poses a great challenge to human beings. ”Qin said. “Theundertakings shouldered by meteorological sciences will become mo re and more important. ”Chinese Vice Premier Hui liangyu said the prize not only reflected Qin's remarkable contributions，but also should be considered an honor for all China's meteorological scientists and researchers. He also spoke highly of China's meteorological contributions during the May 12 quake-relief work，the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics，as well as the Shenzhou 7 spacecraft‟s flight mission.Each year，WMO members nominate（提名）candidates for the prize for outstanding work in meteorology and contributions to international cooperation in meteorology. It is also regarded as the “Nobel Prize in Meteorology”.The Executive Council of the WMO decided to recognize Qin this June. He was the second Chinese scientist to win the prize. The academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences，Ye Duzheng，received it in 2003.9. The International Meteorological Organization Prize is intended to honor .A. world-famous glaciologists doing research in the South PoleB. those who made great contributions to the science of meteorologyC. those who have done a good job in quake-relief workD. scientists who promote meteorological researches10. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?A. Chinese scientist awarded top meteorological prize.B. A scientist who once crossed the South Pole.C. Nobel Prize in Meteorology.D. Scientist awarded by the government.11. Which of the following statements about Qin is NOT true?A. Qin was the first Chinese to cross the South Pole.B. Qin got much important information from the South Pole.c. Qin took an active part in the May 12 quake-relief work.D. Qin was the second Chinese to win the top prize of the WMO.12. What Qin said in the fourth paragraph shows .A. the change of global climate is naturalB. meteorology will play a key role in meeting climatic challengesC. humans can meet all challenges from natureD. global climate change has little effect on meteorological conditionsDIf you're a male and you're reading this，congratulations：you're a survivor. According to statistics，you're more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer as a woman，and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term，about 78 years for men in Australia, you'll die on average five years before a woman.There're many reasons for this—typically，men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke—but perhaps more importantly，men don't go to the doctor.“Men aren't seeing doctors as often as they should. ”says Dr Gullotta. “This is particularly so for the over-40s，when diseases tend to strike. ”Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45，it should be at least once a year.According to a recent survey，95％of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year，compared to 70％of men in the same age group.“A lot of men think they're invincible（不可战胜的)，”，Gullotta says. “They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf cours e and they think,…Geez，if it could happen to him. . . ‟”“Then there's the ostrich approach. Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know，”says Dr Ross Cartmill.“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies，”Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups.“Regular check-ups for men would surely place strain（紧张)on the public purse，”Cartmill says. “But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the disease. Besides，the final cost is far greater：it's called premature（未到期的)death. ”13. From the passage we can know the natural term for women in Australia is about years.A. 73B. 78C. 83D. 8814. What does the author think is the most important reason why men die five years earlieron average than women?A. Men drink and smoke much more than women.B. Men don't seek medical care as often as women.C. Men aren't as careful as women in face of dangerD. Men are more likely to suffer from serious disease15. Which of the following best completes the sentence “Geez, if it could happen to him. . . ” in Para. 6?A. it could happen to me, tooB. I should avoid playing golfC. I should consider myself luckyD. it would be a big misfortune16. What does Cartmill say about regular check-ups for men?A. They may increase public expense.B. They will save money in the long runC. They may cause psychological strain on menD. They will enable men to live as long as women.EHigh-quality customer service is preached（宣扬)by many, but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done.Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store（零售店)，but instead will warn their friends，relatives，co-workers，strangers and anyone who will listen.Store managers are often the last to hear complaints，and often find out only when their regular customers decide to go often to their competitors，according to n study jointly conducted by Verde Group and Wharton School.“Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers，”said Paula Courtney，President of the Verde Group. “The store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement. ”On average，every unhappy customer will complain to at least four others，and will no longer visit the specific store. For every dissatisfied customer，a store will lose up to three more due to negative reviews. The resulting “snowball effect” can be very harmful to retailers.According to the research，shoppers who purchased clothing encountered the most problems. Ranked second and third were grocery and electronics customers.During peak shopping hours，some retailers solved the parking problems by getting part-time local police to work as parking attendants（服务员). Some hired flag wavers to direct customers to empty parking spaces.Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts（布局)，pre-stocking sales items，hiring speedy and experienced cashiers，and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions.Most importantly，salespeople should be flexible and polite with angry customers.“Retailers who're responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over（缓解)issues than those who aren't so friendly. ”said professor Stephen Hoch. “Maybe something as simple as a greeter at the store entrance would help. ”Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by complaining to the retailer，instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are finding it difficult to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.17. Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints?A. Most customers won't bother to complain even if they have had unhappy experiencesB. Customers would rather tell their unhappy experiences to people around them.C. Few customers believe the service will be improved.D. Customers have no easy access to store managers.18. Shop owners often hire part-time police as parking attendants so that .A. shoppers can stay longer in the storeB. shoppers won't have trouble parking their carsC. shoppers won't have any worries about securityD. shoppers can find their ears easily after shopping19. What contributes most to smoothing over issues with customers?A. Manners of the salespeople.B. Hiring of efficient employees.C. Huge supply of goods for saleD. Design of store layout20. To achieve better shopping experiences，customers are advised to .A. bring pressure to bear on stores to improve their serviceB. settle their questions with stores in a flexible wayC. express their dissatisfaction to store managers directlyD. shop around and make comparisons between stoles 1—20 CBDAB CAABA CBCBA BBBAC。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校阅读理解提分特训(一)A【说理议论类】Do you feel lucky? You probably don’t.You may think you’ve got where you are today through willpower and hard work.We tend to overlook luck’s role,and this seems to get worse the richer we get;surveys show that the wealthiest are least likely to owe their fortunes to good fortune.Many such people oppose taxation(税收) and government spending:why should others get a handout(救济品) if they don’t need one? More often than not,they vote against the very policies that helped them get lucky to begin with.In a recent Atlantic essay,Robert Frank,an economist who has studied attitudes to chance,quoted(引用)E.B.White:“Luck is not something you can mention in the presence of self-made men.”However,if we see this just as a problem of the super-rich people,we may let the rest of us off too easily.Anyone living in a highly developed economy in the world is already the one who benefits from luck—for example,not living in the modern-day Central African Republic,where few people can live a long life.In fact,we are lucky to have been born human.You might have been a battery hen,or a mayfly with only one day to live.Our blindness to such truths isn’t only because we’re self-absorbed but also we attach more significance to things that are eas ier to call to mind.It’s not hard to recall countless times when you put in the effort to succeed:struggling through university finals,preparing for job interviews,tolerating a long-distance travel to work.On the other hand,it’s rather difficult to realize you’re privileged—like not being born in a war zone,or before antibiotics(抗生素),and so forth.1.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean?A.Self-made men don’t like to be talked about.B.Successful people owe their achievements to luck.C.Successful people tend to overlook the role of luck.D.Self-made men are more likely to show off their fortune.2.According to the author,you are fortunate if you are not .A.struggling through university finalsB.preparing for interviewsC.tolerating a long-distance travelD.living in a war zone3.We can learn from the passage that .A.few people in Africa are luckyB.each of us is actually privilegedC.people value the importance of luckD.people succeed because of luck4.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A.Luck Is A BlessingB.We Are LuckyC.How To Be LuckyD.Who Is Lucky语篇解读:很多成功人士会把自己的成功归功于毅力和付出,而往往忽视运气的成份,而事实上,我们每个人还是很幸运的。

They point to jobs such as secretary or truck driver, which often pay more to start than that of a teacher. In many other fields, such as law, medicine, computer science, a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught for several years.Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries. It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money—the satisfaction of sharing knowledge, of influencing others, of guiding young people. But in the past several years, there are more difficulties in teaching, for many, than there are rewards.Unruly students, especially in big cities, large classes and a lack of support from the public in terms of money and understanding have led many public school teachers to leave the profession.As a result, many of the best students, who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past, are going into other fields.Another reason for this change in teacher candidates is the changing status of women in the United States. Until the late 1960s and 1970s, one of the most popular choices for women was teaching. But as other professions, such as law and medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs. Thus, a major pool of excellent candidates for the teaching profession dwindled.Bit by bit government officials and others realized that the status of the teacher had suffered. They talked about change. But the change in a vast society like the United States is not easy. People’s attitudes have formed over many years, and sometimes change takes many years. 5．The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refers to “”.A．money B．job C．secretary D．truck driver6．What is the present situation of the teaching?A．Teachers work harder and get underpaid.B．Teachers have no opportunities to work in other fields.C．Teaching can attract best students to work as a teacher.D．Teaching can provide rewards as well as high salaries.7．Many public school teachers turn to other professions because .A．the government doesn’t fina ncially support themB．they have to work longer hours than a lawyerC．their students refuse to listen to themD．they are not fairly treated8．The author believes that change in teachers’ status in the United States .A．is not great B．is impossibleC．influences people’s attitude D．needs timeCHabits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting creatures,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative meaning.So it seems contradictory to talk about habits in the same context as innovation (创新). But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously developnew habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks.Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try, the more creative we become.But don’t bother trying to kill off old habits; once tho se ruts of procedure are worn into the brain, they’re there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately press into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads.“The first thing needed for innovation is attraction to wonder,” says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind. “But we are taught instead to‘decide’, just as our president calls himself‘the Decider’．”She adds, however, that “to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always explor ing the many other possibilities.”“All of us work through problems in ways of which we’re unaware,” she says. Researchers in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the ability to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, collaboratively (合作地) and innovatively. At the end of adolescence, however, the brain shuts down half of that ability, preserving only those ways of thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life.The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us use our innovative and collaborative ways of thought. “This breaks the major rule in the American belief system —that anyone can do anything,” explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book This Year I Will…and Ms. Markova’s business partner.“That’s a lie that we havepreserved, and it fosters (促进，培养) commonness. Knowing what you’re good at and doing even more of it creates excellence.” This is where developing new habits comes in.9．Brain researchers have discovered that .A．the forming of new habits can be guidedB．the development of habits can be predictedC．the regulation of old habits can be transformedD．the track of new habits can be created unconsciously10．The underlined word “ruts” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to .A．zones B．connections C．situations D．tracks11．Which of the following statements most probably agrees with Dawna Markova’s view?A．Decision makes no sense in choices.B．Curiosity makes creative minds active.C．Creative ideas are born of a relaxing mind.D．Formation of innovation comes from fantastic ideas.12．The purpose of the author writing this article is to persuade us .A．to give up our traditional habits deliberatelyB．to create and develop new habits consciouslyC．to resist the application of standardized testingD．to believe that old habits conflict with new habitsDFilm cameras and digital cameras work in a similar way.Film camerasAfter all, a film camera is basically a light – proof (不透光的) box. It has a lens (镜头) system to focus light onto the film at the back of the camera.Let’s suppose that we are outside on a beautiful summer day trying to take a picture of the family dog. We are using a film camera. We finally get the dog to lie still. You point the camera at him. What happens? Light goes into the camera lens and hits the shutter. In other words, nothing happens yet. Now let’s say that the dog looks really cute and you decide to snap a picture. Whathappens? When you press the button, the shutter opens for a very short period of time. A small amount of light passes through and hits the film at the back of the camera. This creates an upside-down and reversed (反向的)image on the film.When you finish the roll of the film, you can take it to the photo shop to develop it and you will have a great picture of your dog!Cameras come with different lens lengths. Why does it matter? Many small cameras have shorter focal lengths, which means that there is a small distance between the lens and the place where the light focuses at the back of the camera. This gives you a large view of the area you are taking a picture of. Lenses with a long focal length show a smaller area but allow you to focus on distant objects and make them bigger. They are often called telephoto lenses. A good example of a long focus lens is one that is used by sports photographers to get photos of football players as if they were standing right beside them.Digital camerasIn digital cameras, the light falls not on film but onto a sensor (传感器) called a CCD (Charge Coupled Device). This digitally converts(转变) light and color into a digital information or pixels (象素). The CCD is the heart of any digital camera and usually the most expensive part ---- depending on how good it is.13．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Both digital and film cameras focus light onto the film.B．All cameras have a sensor.C．Digital cameras and film cameras have something in common. .D．Small cameras usually have longer focal lengths.14．In the “Film cameras” part, you fail to take the picture of the dog because _____.A．light goes into the camera lens and hits the shutterB．you haven’t aimed the camera at the dogC．the image of the dog is not createdD．the sensor fails to convert light and color into a digital information15．The main reason that sports photographers can get clear and big photos of players is that _ ___.A．they use digital cameras B．the lens of their cameras is excellentC．their focus lenses are short D．their focus lenses are long 16．Generally speaking, a digital camera’s price is ____.A．closely related to the quality of the CCDB．irrelevant to the quality of the CCDC．closely related to the lensD．irrelevant to the lensEOur brains work in complex and strange ways．There are some people who can calculate the day of the week for any given date in 40,000 years, but who cannot add two plus two．Others can perform complex classical piano pieces after hearing them once, but they cannot read or write．Dr．J．Langdon Down first described this condition in 1887．He called these people idiot savants．An idiot savant is a person who has significant mental impairment （损伤）, such as in autism ( 孤独症，自闭症) or retardation．At the same time, the person also exhibits some extraordinary skills, which are unusual for most people．The skills of the savant may vary from being exceptionally gifted in music or in mathematics, or having a photographic memory．One of the first descriptions of a human who could calculate quickly was written in 1789 by Dr．Benjamin Rush, an American doctor．His patient, Thomas Fuller, was brought to Virginia as a slave in1724．It took Thomas only 90 seconds to work out that a man who has lived 70 years, 17 days, and 12 hours has lived 2,210,500,800 seconds．Despite this ability, he died in 1790 without ever learning to read or write．Another idiot savant slave became famous as a pianist in the 1860s．Blind Tom had a vocabulary of only 100 words, but he played 5 ,000 musical pieces beautifully．In the excellent movie Rain Man, made in 1988 and available on video cassette, Dustin Hoffman plays an idiot savant who amazes his brother played by Tom Cruise, with his ability to perform complex calculations very rapidly．Today we more clearly recognize that the idiot savant is special because of brain impairment．Yet not all brain impairment leads to savant skills．Some studies have shown that people who have purposeful interruption of the left side of the brain can develop idiot savant skills．However few people wish to participate in such experiments．There are many excellentreasons for not undergoing unnecessary experimentation on one's brain．The term idiot savant is outdated and inappropriate．Virtually all savants have a high degree of intelligence and are thus not idiots．17．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Idiot savants have areas of outstanding abilities．B．Human Beings have complicated thinking process．C．The brains of the idiot savants are partly impaired．D．The reasons why people have wonderful skills vary．18．Which of the following can be done by Rain Man?A．He can play wonderful pieces of classical music．B．He can guess out exactly the length of a man's life．C．He can memorize the contents of the pictures fast．D．He can count matches dropped on the floor quickly．19．What can you infer from the passage?A．Idiot savants have real talents for art and math．B．Dr．Down is the first person who found idiot savants．C．Few people wish to risk becoming savants by brain operations．D．Intentional left brain impairments will surely lead to idiot savants．20．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?(A) CDCB (B) BADD (C) ADBB (D）CCDA （E）ADCB。

答案写在答卷纸上）[1]It's safe, it's simple, and it works: Drinking right amounts of water really can help you lose weight, new research shows．[2]In what researchers claim is the first-ever trial of the effect of water consumption on weight loss, scientists from Virginia Tech found that dieters who started each meal with two glasses of water lost nearly five pounds more, on average, than dieters who did not, over the course of 12 weeks．There's no shortage of clear evidence about how water might work to control your appetite （食欲）．It ________________ so you don't eat so much; it keeps down your thirst so that you don't turn to calorie－rich sodas or juices．But until now, the researchers say, there has been no true evidence that water's appetite-controlling benefits ever translate into actual weight loss．Now there is．In the 12-week study period, dieters instructed to drink water with every meal lost an average of 15．5 pounds; dieters given no instructions lost, on average, just 11 pounds．[3]Perhaps the most surprising thing about the finding is how little we still know about healthy water consumption in general．In fact, although doctors and public health authorities regularly remind us to drink more water, very few studies give any insight into what our ideal quantity may be．[4]The new results today suggest that many people could indeed stand to drinka little more water than they do．But if you're looking to lose weight, be aware that it is actually possible to drink too much water, and you probably won't help matters any by drinking too much water at a time．In extreme cases, it can even be deadly．A couple of glasses with each meal, however, should be no problem at allfor a healthy person．1．What is the main idea of the text？（no more than 8 words）_________________________________________________________________ ___2．Complete the following statement with proper words．（no more than 2 words）Enough obvious evidence ________________ how your appetite might be under the control of water．3．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words．（no more than 3 words）_________________________________________________________________ ___4．Why should we avoid drinking too much water at a time？（no more than 6 words）_________________________________________________________________ ____5．What does the word "it" （Line 1, Paragraph 1）probably refer to？（no more than6 words）_________________________________________________________________ ____第二节写作假设你参加所在年级的英文写作比赛，请按如下要求完成一篇短文：1.简要描述下图内容，并点明主题；2.联系实际，表达该图带给你的启示注意：1.词数不少于120个；3.不能使用真实姓名和学校名称阅读表达1．Drinking water can help lose weight．2．has proved3．fills you up4．Because it might cause / lead to / result in death．5．Drinking right amounts of water．书面表达【参考范文】The picture shows us a simple truth; If too many drops of water are put together, they will become a sea. Many trees standing together form a forest and many people make up a society. It conveys a message to us. A whole is made up of many small parts that are closely related. Nothing or no one could exist alone.The picture sets us thinking deeply; our society is made up of many people who have different personality and characters. If we want to create a harmonious society, we must live in harmony with others. On the other hand, since everybody is related to others, we should be responsible for what we say and what we do so that we can develop a pleasant relationship with others, which makes it possible for us to enjoy our life to the fullest.。

高三英语二轮复习课时训练（二）一、阅读理解：ALike people，plants experience stress.And also，like people，the response to that stress can determine success.Bad environmental conditions，such as drought，flood，heat and other stresses，affect yields(产量) more than crop pests and diseases.We are trying to find a way to equip plants with the ability to tolerate environmental stress and maintain high yields，said Stephen Howell，a professor of genetics and cell biology.Plant cells produce proteins (蛋白质) and ship them to different parts of the cell.Under normal conditions，these proteins are folded into their normal，healthy structures as they are produced.When a plant is under stress，its cells produce poorly folded or unfolded proteins.Then a builtin system senses this and “sets off an alarm in the cell，” said Howell.In response to the alarm，another protein (IRE1) starts working and creates a different process which activates (激活) the stress response genes whose products bring about defensive measures that help the plant survive.“As it turns out，responses that are activated under stress conditions actually inhibit the growth of plants，” said Howell.“This allows them to preserve their energy to survive the stress conditions.”For plants in the wild，this response is a help for survival，he said.In production of agriculture crops，however，this response reduces yields.“You don't want crop plants to stop growing，” Howell said.“You wantthem to continue to grow and produce even though they are under stress.”With the new understanding of this stress response，the next step may be to silence the alarm system，said Howell.“What may be important is to disable some of these stress responses.That may make the plant more productive under stress conditions.”1．According to the text，an alarm in the plant cells is caused by ．A．the folded proteinsB．the changed proteinsC．the defensive measuresD．the stress response genes2．The energy preserved in the plants under stress conditions ．A．helps the plants to surviveB．helps to maintain high yieldsC．keeps the plants growingD．helps to produce proteins3．The underlined word “inhibit” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “ ”．A．prevent B．startC.continue D．promote4．How does Howell intend to make crop plants maintain high yields under stress conditions?A. By making crop plants keep more energy.B．By making crop plants stop growing.C．By making the alarm system stop working.D．By making the alarm system respond quickly.BAs the world’s urban population gets bigger, cities are struggling to provide the basic services that their residents need. One of the most pressing problems is public transport. Take a look at the crisis facing the city of London. At no time in history has there been such a mass migration of people from countryside to city as is happening now. By the year 2030, it’s estimated that more than two thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities—twice as many as today. This means that the problems faced by cities today—overcrowding, poor housing, unemployment, poverty, and lack of food and water—will be twice as bad in the next century, unless we find solutions soon.London is a good example of the problems facing many major urban centers. It was the world’s first megacity—the first with a population of a million people. Its expansion was made possible by the invention of the steam engine, which , among other things, powered the world’s first underground railway.Today, London has one of the world’s most extensive transport systems. But, because it was the first city to build a railway network, much of the infrastructure—the trains and buses, the tracks and tunnels—is now hopelessly out-of-date, and needs urgent modernization.London’s future success depends very much on transport. The city lies at the heart of Britain’s road and rail networks and problems in London can rapidly affect other areas of the country. On an average morning, overground trains bring passengers to stations on the outskirts of the city, and they then continue their journeys by underground, bus or taxi.5. More than two thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities in years.A. 30B. 23C. 17D. 20076. With the development of society is becoming one of the most serious problems of cities.A. poor housingB. povertyC. unemploymentD. public transport7. The underlined word “megacity” in paragraph two means .A. a city with a population of a million people.B. a city with the problem of public transport.C. a city with a lot of car factories.D. a city with much pollution.8. The railway network of London is .A. very helpfulB. in good useC. behind the timesD. first-class9.

山西省2012高考英语二轮复习专题训练：阅读理解（62）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThere was a story many years ago of a school teacher--- Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her othe r students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother’s perfume(香水).Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.” After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy’s mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M. D. (医学博士).The story doesn’t end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson’s ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.”Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”1. What did Mrs. Thompson do on the first day of school?A. She made Teddy feel ashamed.B. She asked the children to play with Teddy.C. She changed Teddy’s seat to the front row.D. She told the class something untrue about herself.2. What did Mrs. Thompson find out about Teddy?A. He often told lies.B. He was good at math.C. He needed motherly care.D. He enjoyed playing with others.3. In what way did Mrs. Thompson change?A. She taught fewer school subjects.B. She became stricter with her students.C. She no longer liked her job as a teacher.D. She cared more about educating students.4. Why did Teddy thank Mrs. Thompson at his wedding?A. She had kept in touch with him.B. She had given him encouragement.C. She had sent him Christmas presents.D. She had taught him how to judge people.BDomestic (驯养的) horses now pull ploughs, race in the Kentucky Derby, and carry police. But early horses weren’t tame (驯服的) enough to perform these kinds of tasks. Scientists think the first interactions humans had with horses were far different from those today.Thousands of years ago, people killed the wild horses that lived around them for food. Over time, people began to catch the animals and raise them. This was the first step in domestication.As people began to tame and ride horses, they chose to keep those animals that had more desirable characteristics. For example, people may have chosen to keep horses that had a gentle personality so they could be ridden more easily. People who used horses to pull heavy loads would have chosen to keep stronger animals. Characteristics like strength are partly controlled bythe animals’ genes. So as the domesticated horses reproduced, they passed the characteristics on to their young. Each new generation of houses would show more of these chosen characteristics.Modern day horse breeds come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. This variety didn’t exist in the horse population before domestication. The Shetland horse is one of the smallest breeds—typically reaching only one meter tall. With short, strong legs, the animals were bred to pull coal out of mine shafts (矿井) with low ceilings. Huge horses like the Clydesdale came on the scene around 1700. People bred these heavy, tall horses to pull large vehicles used for carrying heavy loads.The domestication of horses has had great effects on societies. For example, horse were important tools in the advancement of modern agriculture. Using them to pull ploughs and carry heavy loads allowed people to farm more efficiently. Before they were able to ride horses, humans had to cross land on foot. Riding horses allowed people to travel far greater distance in much less time. That encouraged populations living in different areas to interact with one another. The new from of rapid transportation helped cultures spread around the world.5. Before domestication horses were ______.A. caught for sportsB. hunted for foodC. made to pull ploughsD. used to carry people6. The author uses the Shetland horse as an example to show ______.A. it is smaller than the Clydesdale horseB. horse used to have gentle personalitiesC. some horses have better shaped than othersD. horses were of less variety before domestication7. Horses contributed to the spread of culture by ______.A. carrying heavy loadsB. changing farming methodsC. serving as a means of transportD. advancing agriculture in different areas8. The passage is mainly about _______.A. why humans domesticated horsesB. how humans and horses needed each otherC. why horses came in different shapes and sizesD. how human societies and horses influenced each otherCIt is often necessary to release a fish, that is, set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just don’t want to take it home to eat. In som e cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive to bite again another day.—When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible. Don’t use a net in landing the fish and releas e it quickly to prevent it from dying.—Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Don’t wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off the fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.—Remove your hook (鱼钩) quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish. —Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water. Release the fish when it begins to struggle and is able to swim.—Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it. If you are going to release a fish, do so right away.With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival.9. People sometimes set a fish free after catching it because they _________.A. don’t want it to dieB. hope it will grow quicklyC. don’t want to have it as foodD. want to practice their fishing skills10. Which of the following will probably make a fish ill?A. Taking the hook off it.B. Removing its scales.C. Touching its eyesD. Holding it in your hand.11. A proper way to release a fish is to _________.A. move it in water till it can swimB. take the hook out of its stomachC. keep it in a bucket for some timeD. let it struggle a little in your hand12. What is the purpose of the test?A. To show how to enjoy fishing.B. To persuade people to fish less often.C. To encourage people to set fish free.D. To give advice on how to release fish.DWhen it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate（照亮）me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say, “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimesin a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell….”We have never met.It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist（心理学家），who will only fill up the healing（愈合的）silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.13. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to ______.A. become serious about her studyB. go to her friend’s house regularlyC. learn from her classmates at schoolD. share poems and stories with her friend14. In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means ______.A. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of usB. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from LondonC. our unpleasant feeling about London disappearedD. we parted with each other in London15. According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend _______.A. call each other regularlyB. have similar personalitiesC. enjoy writing to each otherD. dream of meeting each other16. What is the best title for the passage?A. Unforgettable ExperiencesB. Remarkable ImaginationC. Lifelong FriendshipD. Noble CompanionsE“Humans should not try to avoid stress any more than they would shun food, love or exercise.” said Dr. Hans Selye, the first p hysician to document the effects of stress on the body. While here’s no question that continuous stress is harmful, several studies suggest that challenging situations in which you’re able to rise to the occasion can be good for you.In a 2001 study of 158 hospital nurses, those who faced considerable work demands but coped with（设法处理）the challenge were more likely to say they were in good health than those who felt they couldn’t get the job done.Stress that you can manage may also boost immune(免疫的) function. In a study at the Academic Center for Dentistry in Amsterdam, researchers put volunteers through two stressful experiences. In the first, a timed task that required memorizing a list followed by a short test, subjects believed they had control over the outcome. In the second, they weren’t in control: They had to sit through a gory(血淋淋的) video on surgical procedures. Those who did go on the memory test had an increase in levels of immunoglobulin A, an antibody that's the body’s first line of defense against germs. The video-watchers experienced a downturn in the antibody.Stress prompts the body to produce certain stress hormones（荷尔蒙）. In short bursts these hormones have a positive effect, including improved memory function. “They can help nerve cel ls handle information and put it into storage,” says Dr. Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University in New York. But in the long run these hormones can have a harmful effect on the body and brain.“Sustained stress is not good for you,” s ays Richard Morimoto, a researcher at Northwestern University in Illinois studying the effects of stress on longevity(长寿), “It’s the occasional burst of stress or brief exposure to stress that could be protective.”17. The passage is mainly about ________.A. the benefits of manageable stressB. how to avoid stressful situationsC. how to cope with stress effectivelyD. the effects of stress hormones on memory18. The underlined word “shun” (Line 1, Para.1) most probably means________.A. cut down onB. stay away fromC. run out ofD. put up with19. We can conclude from the study of the 158 nurses in 2001 that ________.A. people under stress tend to have a poor memoryB. people who can’t get their job done experience more stressC. doing challenging work m ay be good for one’s healthD. stress will weaken the body’s defense against germs20. Dr. Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University believes that ________.A. a person’s memory is determined by the level of hormones in his bodyB. stress hormones have lasting positive effects on the brainC. short bursts of stress hormones enhance memory functionD. a person’s memory improves with continued experience of stress(A) DCDB (B) BDCD (C) CBAD (D）DACD （E）ABCC。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校阅读理解九月选练（6）AIf you didn't look at them, they weren't there, right? On seeing those in rags on the corner, I only wanted the light to turn green fast enough so that I wouldn't have to keep pretending not to see them.Then, one day, as I was holding the hand of my best friend Jane who was young but dying of breast cancer, she told me that she made every moment count by slowing down and by seeing everything . I held her hand for five years and then she passed away. She did teach me something. It took a while for her words to really sink in. I can be a slow learner.I started by seeing everything, and focused on their presence. One day I saw a Vietnam veteran(老兵). I asked him what would make his day.

After our meal together, I asked him if there was anything else that would make his life a bit easier."A new pair of socks, "he said.Socks, really? I actually happened to be wearing a nice pair of wool hiking socks at that very moment. I told him that I wanted to give him the pair I was wearing if he would accept it. Finally he agreed. We sat down on a bench, and he started to first take off his boots, and then remove the black socks that had once been white off his feet. I think a layer or two of skin might have come off with them. Taking his new pair of socks, he held the socks up to his cheeks and said they were warm and smelled as good as me, pools of tears in his eyes.Such a simple luxury (奢侈品) I used to take for granted.

We all have had the experience of taking great delight in the beauty and innocence of fairytales．May it be Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty．．．Fairytale is a word which cannot be new to us. But have you ever travelled ages back to the earliest of times and uncovered the fascinating facts about these stories?The history of the fairytale is particularly difficult to track．The oral tradition of the fairytale came long before the written page．The oldest known fairytales date back to ancient Egypt around 1300B.C.and now, after travelling through various periods of time, they have grown and matured in various aspects and have become the most popular forms of stories for young childrenThe characters and themes of fairytales are simple and similar: Princesses and goose girls, youngest sons and brave princes, wicked, stepmothers, fairy godmothers, talking animals, glass mountains, witches, castles and the like. The tale goes into an unreal world and in this never-never land our heroes kill the enemy, succeed to kingdoms and marry the ever beautiful princesses. W. H Auden said, “The way to read a fairytale is to throw yourself in.” It is very true indeed or you will not be able to feel the ecstasy of reading a fairytale. So whenever you read a fairytale, imagine you are the hero/heroine and you will be carried to a mysterious land where everything will be as you want. Every child believes in fairies（仙女), dragons, etc. Yet, as we grow up we fail to believe in these fantasy-based characters．Fairytales are told to children when they are young. This is very essential indeed, for if in the beginning of our lives, our minds are touched by the beauty, innocence and the morals in these tales, we will be able to obtain the optimistic side of happenings．In life, sometimes, believing in such mystics can lead to great happiness．Well, I don’t know about you, but I do believe in fairies…and who knows I may someday meet one because, after all, believing is just the beginning! And as J.M. Barries said, “When you say I don’t believe in fairies, a fairy somewhere drops dead.” And I wouldn’t want anyone dea d on my account, would you?5．In Paragraph 1, the writer mentioned Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty to __A．tell the beauty and innocence of the fairytalesB．present us the fascinating facts behind themC．show us that fairytales are something we are familiar withD．describe his feeling towards fairytales6．The underlined word '"ecstasy" in Paragraph 3 probably means “___”A．delight B．innocenceC．mystery D．the optimistic side7．Why is it important to tell the fairytales to the children when young?A．Because they can gain great happiness．B．Because it is easier for the children to throw themselves in the roleC．Because they tend to have wild imaginationD．Because when they see the magic in the tales in the beginning, they can face the future8．How do you understand the sentence in the last paragraph "When you say I don't believe in fairies, a fairy somewhere drops dead.” ?A．If you don’t believe in the tales, the fairy will be really sad．B．We need the beauty, innocence, and moral of the fairytales to stay optimistic．C．If nobody believes in us, we will be heartbroken．D．The writer is just trying to be humorous by saying this．参考答案5-8 CADBCItalians were reminded to slow down and relax on World Slow Day, an annual event celebrating life's simple pleasures."Let's take this day to stop and think about all the things we miss while we're rushing through our lives," said Bruno Contigiani, the President of the Art of Living Slowly Association. Contigiani, 62, a one-time high-powered manager, is now an ambassador for the slow life movement around the world. He started the first World Slow Day in 2007 to encourage the values of living and working at a more natural pace, and to make people rethink their daily lifestyle.Contigiani's association suggests "14 commandments (诫条) " for living better, such as waking up five minutes earlier to enjoy breakfast without rushing. Others include walking whenever possible, and reading in the evenings instead of watching television.This year, Contigiani left Italy where the event has spread around the country for Shanghai, one of the fastest moving cities in the world. The slow-living supporter said he wandered around the busiest streets of the commercial center for an entire afternoon, inviting people to "slow down". "Among the ‘14 commandments’, the one about waking up five minutes earlier was the most popular by far, " Contigiani said.Back in Italy, the now well-known event hosts a lot of activities, such as reminding people to stop and smell the roses. In central Milan you would probably be fined if you walk too fast. In parks and public spaces, free yoga and Tai Chi (太极拳) lessons are important parts of the events.Italian farmers' union noted that Italians spent less and less timepreparing meals, a habit connected to rising levels of obesity（肥胖）. Therefore, the group said World Slow Day was a good opportunity to remind Italians to take extra time at meals in particular.World Slow Day is by now an international event. A total of 90 “Slow Cities" in 11 countries inspired by the “live well" philosophy are supporting the day.9. What's the best title of the text?A. Slow Life SupportersB. Lifestyle of ItalyC. World Slow DayD. Living Well10. World Slow Day is intended to .A. tell people to walk slowlyB. encourage people to enjoy pleasant thingsC. advise people to adjust to modern lifestyleD. remind people to live and work at a natural pace11. Which of the following goes against the "commandments"?A. Walking whenever possible.B. Slowing down to smell flowers.C. Watching TV in the evenings instead of reading.D. Waking up five minutes earlier to enjoy breakfast.12. In which section of a newspaper is the text probably put?A. Advertisement.B. Culture.C. Business.D. Entertainment.参考答案9-12 CDCBDScientists fear rising energy bills may lead to an increase in obesity （肥胖） after discovering a link between poorly-heated homes and higher body -fat．Researchers from the University of Stirling’s Behavioural Science Centre set out to explore claims that warm indoor temperatures have contributed to rising obesity levels in winter．Instead, the team found that people who live in well-heated homes are more likely to have low body mass index （体重指数） levels while those who keep their heating turned down or off tend to be heavier．Dr Michael Daly, behavioral scientist and senior lecturer, said: "We set out to investigate the scientific claims that cooler indoor temperatures help us maintain a healthy weight by pushing our bodies to use up more energy. In fact, the research suggests people may eat less and burn more energy when in a warmer indoor environment．The 13-year study, published in the journal Obesity, involved more than 100,000 adults across England．Researchers found reduced weight levels among people living in homes heated to above 23°C（73F）, which involved about 15,000 of the households studied．Dr Daly said: "As national gas bills continue to rise faster than therate of inflation, this research suggests the obesity could worsen where heating is turned down below comfortable levels or off for long periods to cut costs．"This is not just about people who live in well-heated homes being in the financial position to afford more expensive low-calorie foods, exercise classes and sporting activities, and therefore finding it easier to maintain a low BMI level．The study took age, sex, social class and other factors into account．"The comfortable temperature of 20°C -23°C is where we feel comfortable in our clothes and are neither hot nor cold．At temperatures above this, we use more energy and we eat less because our appetite is affected．"13. The findings of the research can be described as ___．A．horrible B．surprisingC．funny D．encouragingAccording to the passage, with rising gas bills, people may turn down or off their heating to______.A．stay in shape B．maintain a low BMI level C．save money D．avoid eating more15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Obesity links to poorly-heated homesB．Well-heated home's contribute to obesityC．Obesity--- A weighty problem in EnglandD．Rising energy bills help maintain a healthy weight 参考答案13-15 BCA。
