Norman Borlaug is considered the father of what has been called the Green Revolution. His ideas about agriculture increased crop production and ended hunger in many nations. Mr. Borlaug continues to be a leader among agricultural researchers.Norman Borlaug was born in 1914 on a farm in the American state of Iowa. In the middle of the 20th century, world population was expanding faster than food production. Experts said many people in developing countries would face starvation.Norman Borlaug was an agricultural researcher at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in Mexico. He developed methods of growing wheat that increased the amount harvested by three times. He later repeated this success in India, Pakistan and Africa.His methods of farming saved millions of people who would have starved to death. Norman Borlaug was given the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in 1970.Norman Borlaug is still urging experts to think about the needs of people around the world. His latest concern is a disease in wheat called UG99. He says it has the power to destroy most of the wheat being grown around the world. He says reductionsin agricultural programs have made it harder to take action against such threats.Mr. Borlaug’s granddaughter Julie works at the center named after him at Texas A&M University in Dallas. She says his worry about food problems rises from the belief that hunger is unacceptable. She says Norman Borlaug still believes it is our responsibility as human beings to feed one another.4．Norman Borlaug was ________ years old when he was given the Nobel Prize. A． 56 B． 94 C． 65 D． 995．In the passage, the writer tries to ________.A． express his respect for Norman Borlaug.B． introduce Norman Borlaug’s own life in AmericaC． show an interest in Norman Borlaug’s researchD． describe Norman Borlaug and his research6．Which of the following statements about UG99 is TRUE?A． UG99 is a modern software virus.B． UG99 is a disease that does great harm to the wheat.C． UG99 is a virus that appeared in 1999.D． UG99 caused increase in agricultural output.7．In the passage, the author did NOT mention ________besides the USA．A． France B． Pakistan C． India D． AfricaCEvery country has its heroes. The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people admire（钦佩）or think highly of. If you get a list of the heroes of a nation, it will tell you the potential of that nation.Today in America, if you ask the high school students to list their heroes, their choices would probably fall into three groups. The first group of heroes would be the rock stars — the people connected with rock music. There is no doubt that such people do have talent but one wonders if one should treat rock stars as a model. The rock stars too often are mixed with drugs and their personal life is not all that good. The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles. However, one should find more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes.A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports star. Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area — sports. However, too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of disorder. Too frequently, drugs and drinkingare a part of life of the sports star.A third type of hero is the TV or movie star. This person may have lots of acting talent and is quite handsome. However, the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and they should not be held up as a model of young people. Today, the rock star, the athlete and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America. Really, do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor, a teacher or a scientist? These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes. However, they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.What is really sad is that the young try to imitate their heroes. They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles. If the heroes of today for the American young people are limited only to rock stars, athletes and actors, the future does not look too bright.8. From the passage, what kind of persons are the heroes the American youth admire?A. those who are perfect in all areasB. those who are talented in some area but lead an improper lifeC. those who are not bright but are good-lookingD. those who are rich but are strict with themselves9. What is the writer’s attitude towards American youth’s admiration?A. He goes for itB. He is angry about itC. He thinks badly of itD. He is uninterested in it10. Which of the following can take the place of the underlined word “imitate” in the last paragraph?A. loveB. copyC. knowD. understandII.阅读七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and their write on it, all within 45minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are not different from your classmates, young man. ”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it homie.In the quiet ness of my bedroom; the ‘story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raise dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn’t I the “blind”in my class; being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out(溢出)and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place: If Louis could find his “Way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?”I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to ‘me the next day-. with an “A”on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:. “See what you can do when you keep trying?”5．The author didn’t finish the reading in class because .A．He was new to the classB．He was tried of literatureC．He had an attention disorderD．He wanted to take the task home6．What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?A．He had good sightB．He made a great invention.C．He gave up readingD．He learned a lot from school7．What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at t he end of the story?A．AngryB．ImpatientC．SympatheticD．Encouraging8．What is the main idea of the passage?A．The disabled should be treated with respect.B．A teacher can open up a new world to students.C．One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D．Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.Scientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach, according to a report by the UK newspaper. The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University, Japan and American company Johnson conducted the study together. They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail in Ishikawa District, northern Japan. They compared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japan's Okinawa District.They found that on the beach, eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules (千焦耳) of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas.The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological (气象的) Agency. According to the agency, the reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent, compared to 80 percent in the new snow areas. The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin. That's why we wear sunscreen on our skinbefore we get out in the sun. But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, you may experience a kind of sunburn of the eye, which is harmful. Your eyes will become red and feel a strange feeling. They may be sensitive to light. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and seldom causes permanent damage to the eyes.Long-term exposure to UV radiation, however, can be more serious. Scientific studies and researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damage, which could lead to total blindness.9．You would most likely find the article in ________.A．a doctor’s diary B．a travel journalC．a medical magazine D．a physics textbook10．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Too much eye exposure to UV rays may cause total blindness.B．Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesn't harm them at all.C．Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.D．The study was conducted by researchers from Japan, the USA and the UK. 11．Human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach because ________.A．snow produces more UV light than waterB．people don’t wear sunscreen while skiing as they do while sitting on the beachC．the reflection rate of UV light in snow-covered areas is much higher than that on the beach D．human eyes are exposed longer to UV light in the snow- covered areas than on the beach 12．What will the passage most probably talk about next?A．Never ski on newly fallen snow in Japan.B．Go to hospital to have your eyes examined.C．Wearing a hat can provide protection while skiing in new snow areas.D．Take some measures to protect your eyes while skiing in new snow areas.二、七选五How to Do Man-on-the-Street InterviewsThe man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with acameraman to interview people on the spot. 13．But with these tips, your firstman-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you mig ht ask, “Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?” 14．Hit the streets with confidence. 15．Say, “Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic.” This is a quick way to get pe ople to warm up to you.Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested. Don’t get discouraged.16．Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer, you won’t be able to use it. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. 17．If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air, don’t leave work without them.A．Limit your time.B．As you approach people, be polite.C．If you don’t own a camera, you can buy one.D．For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.E.To get good and useful results, ask them the same question.F.That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.G.With a question like this, you will get more than a “Yes” or “No” reply.三、完形填空At my heaviest I weighed 370 pounds.

He never shouted at us for playing in his yard. I remembered him as a neighbor who was nicer than anyone else in the neighborhood.When Dr. Gibbs was happy, he was planti ng trees. And his life’s goal was to make it a forest.Dr. Gibbs had some interesting theories about planting. He talked about trees that weren’t watered would grow deep roots in search of water. So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak (橡树) and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with the rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.Dr. Gibbs died a couple of years ago. Every now and again, I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five years ago. They’re very strong now.I planted a couple of trees a few years later. I watered them regularly and took good care of them.

If a dog has a running nose and watery eyes, coughs or sneezes(打喷嚏〕, then it is quite probable that the dog has caught cold.A dog's cold can get over after a few days without treatment but it totally depends upon the owner to treat it with medications or improve its immune power 〔免疫力〕 to get rid of the cold naturally. Following are some of the things you can do if your dog gets a cold.You can improve its immune power by giving it proper nutrient diet. Healthy food can really do wonders. Try to give it food which is either suggested by the vet〔兽医〕 or is healthy for your pet. Increase the intake of food which is rich in vitamins A, C and E.Keep your dog warm. The best place for your dog in winter is inside your house. Do not keep your dog outside when it is cold and wet. At home you can also keep the dog warm with the help of carpets. This will make him comfortable and help him to recover fast.Increase the fluid〔流质〕intake as it helps a lot. Water can be the best choice but you can also add broth 〔肉汤〕in water which will give your dog strength. Warm water will make your dog more comfortable and will also keep the dog away from the respiratory infections〔呼吸道感染〕.Steam treatment is considered to be effective in getting rid of cold. It makes the nasal 〔鼻的〕 passage wet, which helps proper breathing. Just fill your bathroom with steam and leave your dog inside the bathroom for 15 minutes. Do it nearly 2 to 3 times a day and you will see your dog recovering.These are some of the things you can do to help your dog recover from cold. However, if you are not able to find any improvement in its health, then turn to the vet for help immediately. Take your dog for regular checkups so as to avoid complications〔并发症〕. 43．From the first paragraph we know about __________.A．the difficulty in keeping a dog as a pet B．characteristics of sick dogs C．the similarities between dogs and human beings D．causes and symptoms〔症状〕of cold in dogs44．When your dog catches cold, you should feed it on _______.A．its favorite food B．the suggested food by the vetC．some meat and water D．food rich in vitamin B45．When a dog catches cold, it is wrong to ________.A．keep it inside during cold and wet weather B．leave it inside the bathroom full of steamC．let it eat too much solid food D．keep it sleeping on rugs at home 46．It can be learnt from the text that _________.A．a dog’s cold can always disappear naturallyB．it’s quite easy to make a sick dog recover from coldC．treating a dog’s cold sometimes needs a vet’s helpD．cold in dogs won’t spread between each other.DDuring my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany’s mom.Tiffany’s mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes andfavorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany.

When Tiffany is a grown w oman, she’ll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you’ve got.

甘肃省天水市第一中学2018届高三上学期开学考试英语第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AIt was a cold March day in High Point,North Carolina.The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice,stamping their feet to say warm.Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered（发抖） a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play.The two didn’t know each other well—Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.Suddenly,Paris fell to the ground,“Paris’s eyes rolled back,”Taylor says.“She stated shaking.I knew it was an emergency.”It certainly was,Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure.Without immediate medical care,Paris would die.At first,no one moved.The girls were in shock.Then the softball coach shouted out,“Does anyone know CPR?”CPR is a life-saving technique.To do CPR,you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs.Without oxygen the brain is damaging quickly.Amazingly,Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before.Still,she hesitated.She didn’t think she knew it well enough.But when no one else came forward,Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR.“It was scary.I knew it was the difference between life and death,”says Taylor.Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down.One girl called 911.Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator,an electronic devices（器械）that can shock the heart back into work.Luck stayed with them: Paris’ heartbeat returned.“I know I was really lucky,”Paris says now.“Most people don’t survive this.My team saved my life.”Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure,the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.Today,Paris is back on the softball team.Taylor will apply to college soon.She wants to be a nurse.“Ifeel more confident in my actions now,”Taylor says.“I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.”1.What happened to Paris on a March day?A.She caught a bad cold.B.She has a sudden heart problem.C.She was knocked down by a ball.D.She shivered terribly during practice.2.Why does Paris say she was lucky?A.She made a worthy friend.B.She recovered from shock.C.She received immediate CPR.D.She came back on the softball team.3.Which of the following words can best describe Taylor?A.Enthusiastic and kind.B.Courageous and calm.C.Cooperative and generous.D.Ambitious and professional.BReading can be a social activity.Think of the people who belong to book groups.They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them.Now,the website turns the page on the traditional ides of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share.BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book.Then the person leaves it in a public place,hoping that the book will have an adventure,traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson,the managing director of BookCrossing,says,“The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read.BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses,in train stations and coffee shops.Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it.E-mails arethen sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found.Bruce Peterson says the ides is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual（虚拟）.The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.4.Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A.To explain what they are.B.To introduce BookCrossing.。

天水一中2018-2019学年第一学期第一阶段考试英语试题第I卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AThere have been times in my life when I felt satisfied. Sometimes it was because I achieved a goal I had set. Sometimes it was because I overcame a fear or passed a test. However, every time I feel that way, I learn again that full isn’t full.When I was a little boy, I felt that the love I had for my mom and dad, and the love they had for me, just filled me up. Surely in a house full of nine people lived a young boy who loved and was loved as fully as a person could stand. Imagine my surprise as I then extended (扩大影响) that love to my grandparents, my uncle & aunt, cousins, etc. As I grew older, I met and married a beautiful woman that I thought entirely filled me up with love. I could not imagine there would be any more room. Then a few short years later we added one daughter and then another daughter to our family. Again, I had room to love and be loved. See what I mean? Every time I feel that life and love are as good as they can get, they get better.There is a lesson here for us. We ought to always have a heart that is open to expanding. To do more, love more, live more, learn more, overcome more, forgive more and the list could go on. Each of us knows 100 stories about men and women who have proved the impossible to be possible. Every day we stand at the crossroad and must decide if we are going to be a better person today than we were yesterday.You are not full yet. Young or old, there is still room for more.1. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. I can do it in a better way.B. These difficulties are really too hard.C. Something disappointing always happens.D. There always seems to be a little more room.2. According to Para. 2, what did the author mistakenly believe at first?A. His room was not big enough.B. He would only have one child.C. Caring for families was not his strength.D. Getting married would be his final happiness.3. This text is most probably taken from a __________.A. TV guideB. news reportC. life magazineD. job advertisementBMany years ago three soldiers, hungry and tired of battle, came upon a small village. The villagers, suffering a bad harvest and the many years of war, quickly hid what little they had to eat and met the three in the village square, shaking their heads and sighing, “Well, we are starving.”The soldiers communicated with each other quietly and then the first soldier turned to the villagers. “Your poor fields ha ve left you nothing to share, so we will share what little we have: the secret of making soup from stones.”Naturally the villagers were intrigued and soon a fire was built to the village’s greatest pot, and then the soldiers dropped in three smooth stones.“Now this will be a fine soup,” said the second soldier, “but a handful of salt and some parsley (香芹) would make it wonderful!” Up jumped a villager, crying “What a piece of luck! I’ve just remembered where some has been left!”And off she ran, returning with parsley. As the pot was boiling, the memory of the villagers improved: soon carrots, beef and cream had found their way into the great pot. They ate and danced and sang well into the night, thrilled about the feast and their new-found friends. In the morning the three soldiers awoke, finding all the villagers standing before them. At their feet lay a bag of the village’s best bread and cheese. “You have given us the greatest gift,” said an elder, “and we shall never forget.” The third soldier turned to the crowd, and said, “There is no secret, but this is certain: people working together can accomplish great things.” At last the light dawned on villagers. Off the soldiers wandered, down the road.4. The villagers hid food at first mainly because _________.A. they didn’t want to share their little foodB. they had a poor harvest that yearC. they had nothing to eat at allD. they were sick of soldiers5. What does the underlined word “intrigued” probably mean?A. Unwilling.B. Satisfied.C. Interested.D. Generous.6. What can we learn from the text?A. The stones used to make the soup were magical.B. The villagers were grateful to the soldiers at last.C. The villagers provided nothing other than the soup.D. The stone soup didn’t agree with m ost of the villagers.7. What’s the secret of making stone soup?A. To be patient.B. To share.C. To be honest.D. To forgive.COur 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 excellent reasons 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.8. 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.9. 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.10. 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.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIt 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 some 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 release 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 releasedfish a better chance of survival.1.Which of the following will probably make a fish ill?A. Taking the hook off it.B. Removing its scales.C. Touching its evesD. Holding it in your hand.2．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 hand 3．What is the purpose of the text?A. T o show how to enjoy fishing.B. T o persuade people to fish less often.C. T o encourage people to set fish free.D. T o give advice on how to release fish.BA famous doctor once received a little child who was badly ill. Thanks to his skill and care, his young patient got well and was soon able to get up and run about again.The child's mother was very much obliged to the doctor, and she called on him to thank him for what he had done for her child. "Doctor," she said, "you have saved my little son. I don't know how to thank you enough. I feel that money alone cannot repay you, so I have made this little purse with my own hands, as a sign of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it." The doctor stood up and said coldly, "Madam, a little present like that is very nice between friends, but a doctor needs to be paid properly for what he has done." The lady was so surprised and hurt so much that she could not reply for a moment. Then she said quietly, "Perhaps you will tell me how much your fee is?""Fifty pounds", he answered.The lady opened the little purse and took out four fifty-pound bank notes. She handed one of them to the doctor, and put the other three back into the purse. She put the purse into her handbag and, saying good bye to the doctor, went out of the room.4.The lady was thankful to the doctor because .A. he had saved her lifeB. he had saved her son's lifeC. he had lent her some moneyD. he often called on her5.The doctor refused the lady's purse because he thought .A.the purse should be given between friendsB.the purse was too smallC.the lady was not kind to himD. the lady just gave him that purse and wouldn't give him the medical fee 6. The money in the purse .A. was only 150 poundsB. was less than 200 poundsC. was much more than the medical feeD. was not enough for the medicalfee 7．How do you think the doctor would feel in the end? A. Sorry and worried B. Regret and proud C. Excited and proudD. Sorry and regretCA new study, conducted by British company Mindlab International, has found that listening to music at work increases accuracy (精确) and speed, The Telegraph reported.Perhaps, some parents disagree with this idea, saying, "Switch off the music andconcentrate!" Well, if that's the case with your parents, you might now be able to convince them that you have science on your side.T hec om pa n y gav e 26 par t i c i pincluding spell checking, mathematical word problems, data entry, and abstract reasoning. The participants completed these tasks while listening to music or no music at all.The results showed that while music was playing, 88% of participants produced their most accurate test results and 81% completed their fastest work. David Lewis, chairman of MindlabInternational, told The Telegraph, "Music is a very powerful management tool if you want to increase not only the efficiency of your workforce but also their emotional state... they are going to become more positive about the work." However, you may have a list of your favorite songs, but not all kinds of music match all homework. For maths or other subjects involving numbers or attention to detail, you should listen to classical music, the study found. In the study, pop music enabled participants tocomplete their tasks 58% faster than when listening to no music at all. If you are reviewing yourEnglish writing, pop music is the best choice, as it is the best kind for spell checking. It cutmistakes by 14%, compared to listening to no music. After finishing your homework, do you often take time to check your answers? Maybe, some dance music is suitable for you.8.What did the participants have to do in the study？A.Persuade their parents to listen to music.B.Do a series of work without rest or pause.plete five tasks in five days without help.D.Finish tasks with music or without music at all.9.What does the underlined word "they" in Para 4 refer to？A.

He never shouted at us for playing in his yard. I remembered him as a neighbor who was nicer than anyone else in the neighborhood.When Dr. Gibbs was happy, he was planting trees. And his life’s goal was to make it a forest.Dr. Gibbs had some interesting theories about planting. He talked about trees that weren’t watered would grow deep roots in search of water. So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak (橡树) and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with therolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.Dr. Gibbs died a couple of years ago. Every now and again, I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five years ago. They’re very strong now.I planted a couple of trees a few yea rs later. I watered them regularly and took good care of them. Whenever a cold wind blows, they shake their leaves and branches.The funny thing about those trees of Dr. Gibbs was that difficulty seemed to help them in ways comfort and ease never could.36. What was Dr. Gibbs’ life goal?A. To build a forest.B. To save more lives.C. To make a lot of money.D. To study plants.37. One of Dr. Gibbs’ theories about planting was that ______.A. he often talked to the treesB. he kicked the trees heavilyC. he never watered the treesD. he buried the leaves around the roots38. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?A. Tre es are not as weak as we think.B. We should listen to others’ advice.C. Difficulty is necessary for growth.D.

It pays much more than other jobs.C. It can improve one’s leadership skills.D. Making diners comfortable is part of the job.40.

If a dog has a running nose and watery eyes, coughs or sneezes(打喷嚏）, then it is qu ite probable that the dog has caught cold.A dog's cold can get over after a few days without treatment but it totally depends upon the owner to treat it with medications or improve its immune power （免疫力） to get rid of the cold naturally. Following are some of the things you can do if your dog gets a cold.You can improve its immune power by giving it proper nutrient diet. Healthy food can really do wonders. Try to give it food which is either suggested by the vet（兽医） or is healthy for your pet. Increase the intake of food which is rich in vitamins A, C and E.Keep your dog warm. The best place for your dog in winter is inside your house. Do not keep your dog outside when it is cold and wet. At home you can also keep the dog warm with the help of carpets. This will make him comfortable and help him to recover fast.Increase the fluid（流质）intake as it helps a lot. Water can be the best choice but you can also add broth （肉汤）in water which will give your dog strength. Warm water will make your dog more comfortable and will also keep the dog away from the respiratory infections（呼吸道感染）.Steam treatment is considered to be effective in getting rid of cold. It makes the nasal （鼻的） passage wet, which helps proper breathing. Just fill your bathroom with steam and leave your dog inside the bathroom for 15 minutes. Do it nearly 2 to 3 times a day and you will see your dog recovering.These are some of the things you can do to help your dog recover from cold. However, if you are not able to find any improvement in its health, then turn to the vet for help immediately. Take your dog for regular checkups so as to avoid complications（并发症）. 43．From the first paragraph we know about __________.A．the difficulty in keeping a dog as a pet B．characteristics of sick dogs C．the similar ities between dogs and human beings D．causes and symptoms（症状）of cold in dogs44．When your dog catches cold, you should feed it on _______.A．its favorite food B．the suggested food by the vetC．some meat and water D．food rich in vitamin B45．When a dog catches cold, it is wrong to ________.A．keep it inside during cold and wet weather B．leave it inside the bathroom full of steamC．let it eat too much solid food D．keep it sleeping on rugs at home 46．It can be learnt from the text that _________.A．a dog’s cold can always disappear naturall yB．it’s quite easy to make a sick dog recover from coldC．treating a dog’s cold sometimes needs a vet’s helpD．cold in dogs won’t spread between each other.DDuring my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany’s mom.Tiffany’s mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn’t give me much pocket money a nd she always told me that I should behave myself.I was annoyed with her.Whenever I didn’t get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany’s mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. Every time, my mom would calmly say “Poor Tiffany”.I co uldn’t understand her. “She shouldn’t be feeling sorry for Tiffany!” I thought. “She should be feeling sorry for me.”One day, I couldn’t help saying to Mom, “Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her?” I bu rst into tears.My mom sat down next to me and said softly. “Yes, I do feel sorry for her. I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught.”I looked up at her. “What are you talking about?”Mom said with care, “One day she will really want something. Maybe she’ll find out that she can’t have it. Her mother won’t always be around to give her money, and what’s more, money can’t buy everything.”She continued, “I have taught you valuable lesson s by not giving you everything you want. You’ll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won’t. You’llunderstand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won’t. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she’ll wake up one day a nd she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you’ve got. Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food.”It took some time, but I eventually understood my mom’s words. Now I am a happy and successful woman.47.

My granddad was the one who taught me, and he helped me when I got hurt. The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and just about everything went wrong. My granddad told me to just put my feet on the pedals and start, pedaling(骑自行车). He also told me he would hold onto the back of the bike the whole time, yet he didn’t.As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let go. I happened to look back just then. I was scared to death that I was going to fall and hurt myself. When I was scared, my mind went blank from pedaling, and I just wanted off. I forgot how to use the brakes(车闸) and fell right off the bike. My granddad kept encouraging me to get up and try again, and after about 15 minutes, I finally stopped crying, got up and tried again.As soon as I started pedaling again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. Since that happened, my granddad decided to call it a day and try again the next morning. The next morning I woke up bright and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better, so I wasn’t that afraid of falling anymore.Though I knew there were a lot of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, l believed I could do well with my granddad’s help. After all, riding a bike was what I wanted to do eagerly.4．How was the author when he was on the bike first?A. He didn’t know where he would be going.B. He thought balancing himself was easy.C. He was nervous and didn’t know what to do next.D. He put his feet on the pedals and started pedaling.5．What does the underlined part in the passage mean?A. Remember what happened this day.B. Make the author feel happy.C. Go on to ride a bike.D. Stop practicing bicycling.6．What is the author’s attitude towards his granddad?A. supportiveB. gratefulC. indifferentD. negative7．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage ?A. The Experience of My First Riding a BikeB. The Difficulty I Met with My GranddadC. The First Time I Got My Own BikeD. The Great Moment When I Stayed with My GranddadCThere is an interesting, but at the same time a sad phenomenon now: there is a rise in the number of singers and bands that have little to do with good music. Many singers or bands know little about what good music means. What is the cause of this rise?Most of these singers have taken music as a “job” because it is a good source of making money. And if you have a good appearance and also expensive clothes to show off at your concerts or at different appearances in public, then your voice is not as important as it should be. The public will prefer to admire more the most interesting parts of your body, whether you are a girl or a boy. They will even forget about the fact that you are there to show your music skills, not your dancing, which is important too, but not at such a high level.Therefore, we can see m any young girls on TV who look very good but who have nothi ng to do with music. They choose to wear very provocative(挑逗性的)clothes to catch attention, but when it comes to singing they are a complete mess and one doesn’t need to have an ear for music to notice their lack of talent. But anyway, they have concerts and they enjoy travelling from one place to another. It is the public’s fault because they accept this and are pleased with this commercial music. People w ho enjoy this kind of music are generally young people while adults prefer listening to old good bands.However, the young generation should understand while appearance is important, it is less important than talent and a good voice. If somebody has a great voice and wants to become a singer, he should take some special courses in this area, because they will help him improve singing abilities.8．The passage shows that many singers consider music as______.A . an art serving the publicB. a good way of making moneyC. a way of living fullyD. a fashionable lifestyle9．From the passage we can learn that______.A. appearance is the most important thing in the world of musicB. all people who have received training in singing can become famousC. adults should help young people improve their abilitiesD. a singer’s talent and voice are the most important factors10．What kind of article does this passage belong to？A. EntertainmentB. SportC. NewsD. Story第二节阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

They planned to stay at the very same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years ago. They both had jobs, so it was decided that the husband would fly to Florida on a Thursday, and his wife would follow him the next day. Upon arriving as planned, the husband checked into the hotel. There he decided to open his laptop and send his wife an e-mail back in Minneapolis. However, he accidentally left off one letter in her address and sent the e-mail without noticing his error.In the same time: In Houston, a woman had just returned from her husband’s fun eral(葬礼). He was a minister of many years who had been “called home to glory” following a heart attack. The woman checked her e-mail, expecting message from family and friends. Upon reading the first message, she fainted(昏厥)and fell to the floor. Her son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor and saw the computer screen which read:To: My Loving WifeFrom: Your Departed HusbandSubject: I’ve arrived!I’ve just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then. Hope your journey is as uneventful(平静)as mine was.P.S. Sure is hot down here.36.

The woman’s husband died of a heart attackBEurope is now the biggest market for organic food in the world, having grown by 25 percent a year over the past 10 years. Denmark’s agriculture minister is herself an organic farmer. The UK market for organic food grew by 55 percent in 2000, while the food market as a whole grew by only one percent. Yet only seven percent of British shoppers account for nearly 60 percent of organic sales. However popular the idea of organic farming may be, it is still an interest for only a few people.So what makes the idea of organic farming popular? Organic farming means farming with natural materials, rather than with man-made fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farmers rely on many methods —such as crop rotation (农作物的轮作) and the use of resistant（有抵抗力的）varieties, because they are necessary for organic farmers to compensate (补偿) for the shortage of man-made chemicals.Organic farming is often supposed to be safer than traditional farming for the environment. Yet after a long research on organic farming worldwide for a number of years, science continues to be against this opinion. The House of Commons committee on agriculture publicized （公布，公开）that, even with complete research work, it would fail to find any scientific evidence to prove “that any of claims （宣称）made for organic farming is always true”.However, the talk about the benefits of organic farming is going on. This is partly because many people depend on their individual farm, the soil, the weather, and so on.41. The first paragraph mainly tells us _____.A. organic farming has been performed only in Europe over the past 10 yearsB. governments of European countries have cared less about organic farmingC. European countries need organic food more than the other countries in the worldD. organic farming is far from being as popular as expected42. The underlined words “compensate for” in the second paragraph probably mean “________”.A. pay forB. care forC. struggle forD. argue for43. What can we know about organic farming?A. It refers to farming with chemical fertilizers rather than natural fertilizers.B. It refers to farming with natural materials, instead of chemical fertilizers.C. It refers to farming with soil rather than any other thing.D. It refers to growing crops with man-made fertilizers and pesticides.44. According to the third paragraph, _____.A. organic farming is safer than traditional farming for the environmentB. organic farming is preferred to traditional farmingC. organic farming is accepted by the UK’s House of Commons committeeD. the idea that organic farming is safer has not been proven by science45. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?A. The UK’s agriculture minister is an organic farmer.B. Organic farming is popular with young people.C. Ninety-three percent of British shoppers don’t buy organic products.D. Farmers make use of many different kinds of methods to improve the organic sales system.CPsychologists in Britain have said that the last full week of January is the most depressing time of the year, and have labeled the Monday of that week “Blue Monday”, the most depressing day of the year. Mondays are generally seen as the worst day of the week because people feel grumpy and tired at having to go back to work after a weekend with a different sleep pattern.There are various reasons why more people feel depressed at this time of year. Many people have unpaid credit card bills for the Christmas presents they bought. As the party season is over, people feel stressed because they have to go back to real life—work and commuting; they may be unhappy with their body image after eating too many cakes chocolates and other food at Christmas-time. People may have already failed in their New Year’s plans, such as giving up smoking. The bad weather in January can also contribute to people feeling fed up.Some companies are taking this quite seriously and offering suggestions for all the staff who are feeling depressed. They hope that helping people as soon as there are signs of depression will keep people from taking time off. Evidence shows that unreasonable managers who contribute to their staff feeling fed up at this time can expect an uncooperative (不合作的) workforce.However, it’s not all bad! Many people feel optimistic at this time—that things can only get better. Psychologists offer suggestions of how to fight against feeling blue. These include spending 15 minutes doing a “gratitude exercise”, thinking about and writing down what you are grateful for, such as health, family, friends and so on. Taking up a new hobby, doing some exercise, going to bed earlier, eating a healthy breakfast, and listening to some cheerful music are all recommended (推荐) as ways to feel more cheerful.46.
