一、现代文阅读(一)论述类文本阅读(本题共3小题,9分)阅读下面的文字,完成下面小题。

孔子是中国儒学的创始者,他对中华文化的传承发展做出了重大贡献。

孔子关注西周宗法礼制的存亡,他认为,这种礼制是以夏商两代为依据而制定的,在西周时期曾经结出丰硕的文化果实,他主张沿用西周的礼制。

事实上,孔子生活在春秋末期,西周宗法礼制已经开始出现摇摇欲坠的局面。

孔子在感情上并不认同这样的变化,但是他以实际行动冲破了宗法礼制传统,办起了“私学”,倡导“有教无类”,学生不分贵贱亲疏,更不论出生何地,都可以平等地接受儒家的教育。

由此可见,孔子在发生重大变化的历史阶段,选定了用教育和文化改造社会。

春秋战国时期产生了众多思想学派,号称“百家争鸣”,反映了中国思想文化的巨大成就。

后来的中华文化都可以从诸子百家中找到文化传承的基因,而儒学不仅对中国,甚至对世界都有影响。

孔子以前及其同时期,许多人都讲“仁”。

《国语•周语》:“言仁必及人。

”“仁”必涉及人与人的关系。

《论语》多处为“仁”规定界说,孔子不赞成把“亲亲”与“爱人”对立起来,认为这是爱人的起点;讲“仁”不能离开“亲亲”,同时也不应仅局限于此,应面向社会。

孔子认为,人的思想行动符合“仁”的标准,可称为“仁人”。

“仁人”超越了人的本能,是具有高尚理想、深厚道德修养的人,当其理想与现实发生冲突无法兼顾时,他会牺牲个人生命去殉其理想。

对此,孔子给予很高评价:“志士仁人,无求生以害仁,有杀身以成仁。

”在中华历史上,这样的理念熔铸成为中华民族志士仁人的共同信念,成为中华民族前进发展的重要动力之一。

AA. Book TheaterB. BookmobileC. Computer TutorD. Reader Desk2. If you get the job of “Bookmobile”, you are expected to _________.A. work with young childrenB. check materials for guestsC. lift heavy boxesD. repair computers3. The purpose of the advertisement is to _________ .A. attract students to librariesB. offer job opportunitiesC. raise money for librariesD. introduce new booksBIt's 3 o'clock and you've been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn't. Here is another situation. Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mom used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal.Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection betwe en the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷尔蒙) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival.A craving is more complex. It activates (使活跃) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. Because of this, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure.In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increases the possibility of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings.So, the next time you crave something very special, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.4.

EconomyCIt is widely acknowledged that it is by no means an easy task to bring up a child well. And our ancestors already understood it well. As an old proverb says, “It takes an entire village to raise a child.” That is being quoted more and more often these days. And I’m pleased about that. Parents need to be involved in their children’s education in many ways. Helping children with homework and studying, going on a field trip, teaching a craft or coaching a child’s sports team are all great ways to be involved with your child’s education. And don’t forget to communicate with teachers—they need and respect your input. Studies show that children learn more and schools function better when parents and schools work together.Communities can help children create and achieve new goals. There are other ways such as helping with homework. reading to a child, coaching a children’s team, providing emotional support, helping solve problems and building self-esteem(自尊). Kids need role models and advisers can be role models by sharing their experiences and wisdom.Businesses can also help shape our children’s future—invite a class from your local school to visit your workplace. You may be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilities. Show students what goes on during a typical day. Give a mini course for students: how products are made; how machinery works. You may have a developing electrician, a teacher, a nurse, or even a newspaper reporter on your hands.It really does take an entire village to raise a child. So share the responsibility-and the joy—of bringing a child to his or her full potential.8. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Raising a child well needs various efforts.B. Communities play an important part in raising a child.C. Our ancestors raised a child by using the whole village’s food.D. People in the same village should take care of a child together.9. Which of the following has the author stressed in the text?A. Family education.B. School education.C. Life-long education.D. Early childhood education.10. The author thinks visiting the workplace can have an effect on children’s .A. talentB. healthC. gradesD. occupations11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?A. To show his research on education.B. To call for more attention to children.C. To make examples of education reform.D. To introduce some ways to teach children well.DSitting too much is linked to changes in a section of the brain that is important for memory, according to a recent study by UCLA researchers of middle-aged and older adults.Studies show that too much sitting, like smoking, increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes and premature death. Researchers at UCLA want to see how sedentary behavior (sitting for long periods of time) influences the health of the brain, especially regions of the brain that are important to memory formation.UCLA researchers gathered 35 people aged 45 to 75 and asked about their physical activity levels and the average number of hours per day they spent sitting over the previous work. Each person had a high-resolution MRI (热分辨磁共振成像)scan, which provides a detailed look at the medial temporal lobe, or MTL, a brain region involved in the formation of new memories.The researchers found that sedentary behavior is an important predictor of thinning of the MTL and that physical activity, even at high levels, is not enough to compensate the harmful effects of sitting for long periods.“This study does not prove that too much sitting causes thinner brain structures, but instead that more hours spent sitting are associated with thinner regions,” resea rchers said. In addition, the researchers focused on the hours spent sitting, but did not ask participants if they took breaks during this time.The researchers next hope to follow a group of people for a longer duration to determine if sittingcauses the thinning and what role gender (性別), race, and weight might play in brain health related to sitting.“MTL thinning can be an indication of cognitive (认知的) decline in middle-aged and older adults. Reducing sedentary behavior may be a possible target for measures designed to improve brain health in people at risk for Alzheimer(阿尔茨海默) disease,” researchers said.12. What is the study done by UCLA mainly intended to find out?A. What harm sitting too much causes.B. Why sitting too much is like smoking.C. How too much sitting affects brain health.D. Whether too much sitting causes early death13. Participants were scanned by a high-resolution MRI to .A. evaluate their memory lossB. examine their MTL conditionsC. record their physical activity levelsD. record the length of time for their sitting14. What do UCLA researchers think of their study?A. It is a great success.B. It is of little practical value.C. It must target the young.D. It still needs to be improved.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Long Sitting Is Bad for Your BrainB. How to Improve Brain HealthC. Sitting Causes Many Health ProblemsD. An Easy Way to Prevent Memory Loss第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

You are one of the people who keep the social temperature at such a comfortable setting. I don’t know anyone in the office who is better liked than you.You can perhaps help with this. The collection of contributions towards gifts for employees’ personal-life events is becoming a little troubling. Certainly, the group sending of a gift is reasonable now and then. In the past month, however, there have been collections for two baby shower gifts, one wedding shower gift, two wedding gifts, one funeral(葬礼)remembrance, four birthday gifts, and three graduation gifts.It’s not only the collected-from who are growing uncomfortable (and poor), but the collected-for feel uneasy recei ving gifts from people who don’t know them outside the office, who wouldn’t even recognize their graduating children, their marrying daughters and sons, or their dead relatives.This is basically a kind gesture (and one that people think well of you for), but the practice seems to have become too wide-ranging and feels improper in today’s office setting.Thank you for understanding.29.

But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers, althoughjust about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start workingovertime. "I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down," says Ted Smith of the earthVillage Organization.Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-techindustry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have beenset up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Early this week Hewlett-Packard Co.announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hardcopy of a business document, a medical record or just a one line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer.As the computer sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.Does all this mean environmental concerns(环境问题)have been forgotten? Some activists suggest peoplehave been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. "I guess people believe that theproblem is taken care of, because of recycling(回收利用) ," said Kelly Quirk, director of the Rainforest ActionNetwork in San Francisco. Yet Quirk is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print onboth sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from material otherthan wood, such as agricultural waste.32.
