2010年高考英语预测系列试题(6)·阅读理解适用:全国阅读理解预测两篇(一)Money spent on advertising is money spent as swell as any I know of. It serves directly to bring about a rapid sale of goods at reasonable prices, setting up a firm home market and making it possible to provide for export at good prices. By drawing attention to new ideas it helps greatly to raise standards of living. By helping to increase demand it causes an increased need for labor, and is therefore a nice way to fight unemployment. It lowers the costs of many services: without advertisement your daily newspaper would cost four times as much, your price of television program would need to be doubled, and travel by bus or subway would cost more.And perhaps the most important of all, advertising provides a promise of reasonable value in the products and services you buy. Besides the fact that twenty-seven Acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare produce anything that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements. He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising. He will not do so for long, for the public has the good sense not to but the poor goods more than once. If you see the product frequently advertised, it is the proof I know that the product does what it promised for it, and that it has good value.Advertising does more for the good of the public than other force I can think of.There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on. Recently I heard a well-known television person declare that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs. He was telling us the real difference. Of course advertising tries to persuade.If its message were nothing but information, that would be difficult to get more people to buy, for even the choice of the color of a shirt is a bit persuasive--advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention. But perhaps that is what the well-known television person wants.1. By the first sentence of the passage the writer means that ______.A. he is fairly familiar with the cost of advertisingB. everybody knows well that advertising is a waste of moneyC. advertising costs more money than anything elseD. money spent on advertising is worth spending2. In the passage, which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of advertising?A. Getting greater fame.B. Providing more jobs.C. Raising living standards.D. reducing newspaper costs.3. The writer thinks that the well-known TV person is ______.A. quite right in passing his judgement on advertisingB. interested in nothing but the buyer's attentionC. correct in telling the difference between persuasion and informingD. obviously unfair in his views on advertising4. In the writer's opinion, ______.A. advertising can seldom bring material interest to man by providing informationB. advertising informs people of new ideas rather than wins them overC. there is nothing wrong with advertising in persuading the buyerD. the buyer is not interested in getting information from an advertisement(二)A new President with an ambitious agenda(议程). That describes former Nicaraguan foreign minister Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann, who took office at the United Nations this week as the organization's General Assembly opened its 63rd session. The new President's immediate agenda for all 192 members includes addressing the global food crisis, reforming the UN Security Council, and combating (防止) climate change.As Brockmann addressed the Assembly, he noted that "trillions of dollars are spent on wars of aggression, while more than half the world's people are in hunger and poverty." During this session, members will examine the root causes of the world food crisis caused by rising food prices, and its impact on world hunger and poverty. President Brockmann identified the root of world hunger as unequal trade of agricultural goods within and between countries.The issue of expanding the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) will likely cause heated debate during the Assembly. The UNSC is a powerful section of the United Nations, in charge of maintaining international peace and security. Currently, the UNSC has 15 members: 10 rotating, non-permanent members and five permanent ones. The five permanent members—China, United States, France, the United Kingdom, and Russia—have not changed since the UN's beginning in 1945. They are the only members to hold veto (否决) power. The General Assembly has agreed to begin talks no later than February 28, 2009, about expanding the membership of the UNSC.In response to questions from journalists, Brockmann said that this session will examine climate change, unequal access to water, terrorism and human rights, nuclear control and disarmament (裁军), the ongoing situation in Palestine, humanitarian assistance, and race equality."What is important now is that we look to the future, learning from our past mistakes, and together carry wholeheartedly on the task of building a new and better world. I am aware of the great expectations that the vast majority of the inhabitants of our threatened planet have placed in the United Nations to bring them peace and security, and to defend their right to life and to full development," said Brockmann. "We must not fail them."1. What topic does the second paragraph mainly discuss?A. World food crisis.B. UN office expenses.C. Less developed agriculture.D. Conflicts between countries.2. Which is the root cause of the world hunger?A. The rising prices of the agricultural goods.B. Unequal trade of agricultural goods within and between countries.C. The increasing demands for food in developing countries.D. Great expenses of wars of aggression.3. The third paragraph mainly talks about _____.A. UN Security Council reformB. Brockmann’s policy managementC. function of the UN Security CouncilD. details of the 63rd session of General Assembly4. Which of the following is not at top of new UN President’s agenda?A. World hunger.B. Climate change.C. Reforming Security Council.D. Weapon controlling.5. In Brockmann’s talks with journalists, he ______.A. expressed his hope for a better worldB. decided to settle all the world problemsC. admitted all his past mistakesD. showed great concern to the safety of the world【参考答案及解题思路】(一)本文是一篇议论文,本文用词和表达较地道,初读一遍,茫然不知所云。

2010年高考英语阅读理解专项测试题

2010年高考英语阅读理解专项测试题

2010年高考英语阅读理解专项测试题Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but men's minds decline more than women's, according to the results of a worldwide survey. Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains: Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial skills), while women tend to excel (擅长) at recalling information from their brain's files (helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects). Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline (衰退) people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed. Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline. Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, "so they're the ones that may not have shown such cognitive decline," said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England. People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category (范畴) as possible in the given time, e.g. "object usually colored gray", and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. The first two were tasks at which men usually excel; the latter are typically dominated by women. Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average. And though performance declined with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall.1. The underlined word in the second paragraph means_________.A. naturalB. greatC. obviousD. absolute 2. According to thepassage, which of the following can Not be typed into the same category? A. cloud B. sheep C. trees D. goose 3. Which of the following statements is true according the article? A. Men do better than women when it comes to learning English. B. Women stand out at remembering people’s names. C. Men excel at typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time. D. Women excel at dealing mathematic problems. 4. One important factor that affects the correctness of the results is that _________. A. the old men tested may not have shown such cognitive decline B. people surveyed are all old C. people taking part in this test came from all over the world D. women live longer than men 5. The author aims to tell us that__________. A. women’s minds perform better than men’s B. men’s minds decline more with age C. everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older D. a survey on human’s mind decline was done recently 参考答案与解析: 1、答案为A。

2010年高考英语预测系列试题(3)·阅读简答

2010年高考英语预测系列试题(3)·阅读简答

2010年高考英语预测系列试题(3)·阅读简答适用:湖南湖南新题型阅读简答题应试技巧【题型解读】随着新课标的实施和考试改革的不断深入,高考英语试题的题型也在不断更新。

2007年高考英语湖南卷中开始出现“简答题”这个新题型。

该题型根据高中学生认知特点和学习发展需要,在检测学生基本语言运用能力的同时,着重测试学生用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析和解决问题的能力,用英语进行思维和表达的能力。

简答题的基础依然是阅读理解,但对阅读理解的要求更高。

考查点既有细节题,也有推断题和归纳总结题。

但由于简答部分只有问题,而且要求考生用简练的语言进行回答,同时还要注意拼写、语法的正确,这就使得简答题要难得多。

从近年的高考答卷情况分析,这部分的得分是比较低的。

分析2007、2008年湖南高考“阅读简答”题,我们可以发现“阅读简答”题有以下趋势:1.“阅读简答”题融语篇理解和文字表达考查为一体,以阅读材料作为问题的载体,考查的最终目标则指向表达能力。

该试题的测试目的是从多方位多角度考查考生通过阅读获取信息、处理信息并进行书面表达的能力。

2. 题目设计对语篇理解的要求向深度和广度延伸。

问题既涉及到词义转换,又涉及到对文章整体内容的概括或归纳。

答题时如果对文章缺乏全面、深刻的理解,将很难做出正确的回答。

3. 难度大,信度高。

“阅读简答”题有一定的难度,解题过程中需要更多的思维活动。

它不像传统的阅读理解题那样,给出选项,考生只要读懂文章选出答案就行了。

即使有时读不懂文章,也可以靠运气选个答案“蒙”分。

“阅读简答”则不然,读不懂文章就根本无法做答。

有时即使读懂了,但因为受语言运用水平的制约,答题时也不一定能够把自己的意思明白无误地表达出来。

这一题型更能够把不同层次水平的考生区分开,具有很高的信度和区分度。

预测2009年高考阅读填空题将仍然会保持以上特征。

题型设计上将会加大对细节归纳、主旨概括型试题的考查。

目的是考查考生对全文的整体理解,把握文章结构,提高用英语获取信息、分析和解决问题的能力。

2010年高考英语真题阅读理解译文(辽宁卷)

2010年高考英语真题阅读理解译文(辽宁卷)

2010年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(辽宁卷)英语第三部分阅读理解A这是印度的一个小村庄,这里的人们很贫穷。

但他们并没有不开心。

毕竟,他们祖祖辈辈都这样生活了好几个世纪。

然后有一天,一些来自城市的访客来到了这里。

他们告诉村民别的地方有很多人喜欢吃青蛙腿。

但他们自己那没有足够多的青蛙,所以他们想从其他地方买一些青蛙。

这看起来像是白来的钱财。

在这里田地四周有成千上万的青蛙,而且它们对村民们也没有什么用处。

他们所需要做的就只是把青蛙捕回来。

协议达成后,孩子们被送到田里去捕青蛙。

每周会有一辆卡车到村庄来收青蛙然后给村民们发钱。

这是村民们第一次可以梦想着美好的未来,但这个梦想并没有持续太久。

刚开始,村民们几乎没发现什么变化,但庄稼似乎长得不是很好。

但更令人担忧的是,孩子们频繁地生病,而且最近好像昆虫更多了。

村民们决定不能再眼看着庄稼日益歉收,孩子们得身体越来越弱了。

他们应该用赚来的钱去买些杀虫剂和药品。

很快他们的钱就都没了。

后来,村民们意识到了发生了什么。

就是青蛙。

曾以为青蛙无用,但实际上过去青蛙一直在做一件非常重要的工作——吃昆虫。

现在大量的青蛙被捕杀,昆虫的数量就迅速地增长。

这些昆虫不仅危害庄稼,还传播疾病。

现在,这里的村民还是很贫穷。

但是傍晚时分,他们都坐在村子的广场上,聆听昆虫和青蛙的叫声。

夜晚的这些叫声如今已经有了更多的意义。

B我不喜欢派对。

但是我决定再尝试参加一次派对,因为我现在在伦敦。

我的朋友马勒里邀请了我。

而且因为伦敦的派对和在纽约参加的那些派对非常不同。

在纽约,“我在参加派对”就意味着“我在一家你可能承担不起的餐厅预定了一张12人的桌子,然后不管你吃了什么,我们都会一起平分账单。

”更糟糕的是,在曼哈顿,总有人在账单出来之前就离开。

他们会扔下现金,(仅仅)是他们应付的一半,而像我这样不喝酒的人结果付的钱更多。

但是如果我也试着用同样的小伎俩,女服务员就会朝我大喊道,“你要去哪呀?”而这时我又不可能说我要去哪,因为所有人都知道我没什么地方要去。

2010年北京高考英语:阅读理解答案解析

2010年北京高考英语:阅读理解答案解析

2010年北京高考英语:阅读理解答案解析一、传统阅读4篇分析2010年的北京高考英语卷中的阅读部分,在整体难度上可以说和各年份考题的难度持平。

北京的考生在看到阅读理解部分时,基本上是不会出现由于题目太简单或者太难而造成的心理不适应感。

可以说,如果考生在考场上心态平和,又在高三一年的英语学习中养成了长时间阅读大量英语信息的好习惯,轻松对付这4篇小文章还是不成问题的。

下面我们来分析一下每一篇具体阅读文章的考点。

A 我和那年那月的那只狗第1篇文章,大标题是首先映入我们眼帘的,叫做“Goldie’s Secret”,前面的Goldie肯定是个人名,Secret这个词是初中词汇,无任何难度的“秘密”。

文章很好判断是一篇记叙文,是作者在向我们讲述Goldie的秘密是什么!我们高三整整一年在新东方上课的时候,我一直在跟大家强调一点,那就是记叙文的中心是整篇文章最为重要的东西!所有的细节都是为了同一个主旨而服务。

那么作者表明主旨的地方,大部分都在结尾,只有小部分记叙文文章的中心在开头。

同理,我们看到2010的高考真题也是这样,在文章的最后一句,作者表明了他通过叙述整篇文章而带给我们的道理就是“not to judge people”,可以说,如果我们同学在做后面题目的时候,只要头脑里想着这一主旨,那么你的答案都会很靠谱,错误率在30%一下。

具体各题答案如下:56、作为光荣的第一道题显然定位到文章第一段(因为第二段首句作者就给小狗起了一纠结的小名儿G),从段末重要信息出处——极端词得知作者对小狗持正态度,故ACD直接排除,B选项浮出水面。

57、题干定位词“first few days”直接锁定到第二段but 之前,通过重要信息出处——极端词hardly一句排除C;由“小狗G一开始在我家为负态度情绪”而关注A、B项,由“转折前小狗G为不平静状态”+sadness(hardly一句)可知B选项angry不太符合气氛,语句中并无提到小狗G愤怒的表现,排除后直接得A为相对正确选项。

I had always believed that men and women in our country were not only equal in social position but also in intelligence. But when I first entered the college, I found that some boy students seemed indeed to be more intelligent and much quicker at understanding than girl students. I felt somewhat inferior, and I began to doubt whether I could succeed. Are men and women really equal in intelligence? I am often troubled by the question. Then I happened to got hold of a book about Madame Curie. I was deeply impressed by her strong will power. Madame Curie worked hard so she became a top student in her university. After graduation she became a well-known physicist and some years later she got the Nobel Prize. From then on, she became a great encouragement to me in my study. Where there is a will, there is a way. At last I became the top student in my class and got the first prize in the English and physics competitions. This made me feel certain that women are no less clever than men. Besides, I was also active in physical exercises. I joined the track and field team and took part in ping-pong competitions. I was really proud of myself for beingthe women's all-round champion in the sports meeting of our college. This proved again that a girl can do just as well as a boy.[写作内容](1) 以约30个词概括短文的要点;(2) 然后以约120个词就"妇女在社会中的地位"的主题发表看法,并包括如下要点:①男人能干的事女人照样能干,女人可以当工人、科学家乃至领导;②女人在家庭中的地位也有了改善,妻子和丈夫在家庭中地位平等;③还有人认为男人比女人强并应享有更多的权利,比如很少有女人被准许参加一些重要的国际会议;④你对此的看法。

From that moment on, “the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course,”she recalls.The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again , did she regret ignoring her morn,“ I don’t know how to use a computer,” she admits.Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病. All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF, an organization she serves as international chairman. “I felt there was a need for a book like this,”she says. “ I didn’t want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we’re self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease. ” But she hasn’t always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈. Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up–again–and take control of herdiabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. “Everybody on earth can ask, ‘why me?’ about something or other,” she insists. “It doesn’t do any good. No one is immune (免疫的 to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I’ve come to realize the importance of that as I’ve grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be. ” 61. Why did Mary feel regretful?A. She didn’t achieve her ambition.B. She didn’t take care of her mother.C. She didn’t complete her high school.D.

As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of. expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did expressions,”Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less. ”In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselveslost in translation. 66.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.An apprenticeship is a form of on-the-job training that combines workplace experience and classroom learning. It can last anywhere from one to six years, but four years is typical for most. An apprentice spends the majority of the time in a workplace environment learning the practical skills of a career from a journeyman– someone who has done the job for many years. The rest of the apprentice's time is spent in a classroom environment learning the theoretical skills the career requires. Being an apprentice is a full-time undertaking.One of the advantages of apprenticeship is that it does not cost apprentices anything. The companies that hire them pay for school. What’s more, it offers apprentices an “earn while you learn” opportunity. They u sually start out at half the pay of a journeyman, and the pay increases gradually as they move further along in the job and studies. Near the end of the apprenticeship, their wages are usually 90 percent of what a journeyman would receive. Apprenticeship also pays off for employers. It can offer employers a pool of well-trained workers to draw from.Despite the advantages, apprentices are usually required to work during the day and attend classes at night, which leaves little time for anything else. Sometimes, they might be laid off(下岗 if business for the employers is slow.Once they have completed the apprenticeship and become journeymen, they receive a nationally recognized and portable certification and their pay also increases again. Some journeymen continue employment with the companies they apprenticed with; others go on to different companies or become self-employed contractors. Defintion——on-the-job training combining workplace esperence of the time in a workplace:learning the practical skills *the rest of the time in a classroom: learning the skills Advantages——costing apprentices nothing offering apprentices money-making opportunities*gradually increasing pay in the process offering Disadvantages ——little time for anything else The possibility free choices of jobs71.

Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24,1896, an American novelist, w as once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton. University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary : “ My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in mydiary. ”This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel The Beautiful and Damned (1922, a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922, and a play The Vegetable (1923. But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, published in 1925,which quick brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection lf short stories All the Sad Young Men.However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swissclinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The love of the last Tycoon in 1940. while his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.56. How many novels written by Fitzgerald are mentioned in the passage ?A. 5B. 6C. 7D. 857. Which of the following is the correct order to describe Fitz gerald’s life according to the passage?a. He became addicted to drinking.b. He studied at St. Paul Academy.c. He published his first novel This Side of Paradise.d. The Great Gatsby won high praise. e. He failed to reorder his life.f. He joined the army and met Zelda. A. f-c-e-a-b-dB. b-e-a-f-c-dC. f-d-e-c-b-aD. b-f-c-d-e-a58. We can infer from the passage that Fitzgerald .A. had made some money when he met Zelda in Alabama.B. was well educated and well off before he served in the armyC. would have completed more works if his wife hadn’t broken downD. helped his friend get rid of drinking while his wife was in hospital59.

Fitzgerald’s contributions to the literary worldBForget Twitter and Facebook, Google and the Kindle. Television is still the most influential medium around. Indeed ,for many of the poorest regions(地区)of the world, it remains the next big thing——finally becomes globally available. And that is a good thing, because the TV revolution is changing lives for the better.Across the developing world, around 45% of families had a TV in 1995; by 2005 the number had climbed above 60%. That is some way behind the U. S. ,where there are more TVs than people, and where people now easily get access to the Internet. Five million more families in sub-Saharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years. In 2005 , after the fall of the Taliban(塔利班),which had outlawed TV, I in 5 Afghans had one. The global total is another 150 million by 2013——pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families.Television’s most powerful effect will be on the lives of women. In India, researchers Robert Jensen and Emily Oster found that when TVs reached villages, women were more likely to go to the market without their husbands approval and less likely to want a boy rather than a girl. They were more likely to make decisions over child health care. TV is also a powerful medium for adult education. In the Indian state of Gujarat, Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen. Within six months, viewers had made a small but significant(有意义的)improvement in their reading skills.Too much TV has been associated with violence, overweight and loneliness. However, TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide.60. The underlined word “outlawed” in paragraph 2 probably means A. allowedB. bannedC. offeredD. refused61. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Americans used to get access to the Internet easily.B. The world’s TV sets will total 150million by 2013.C. 45% of families in the developing countries had a TV in 2005.D. Over two thirds of families in the world will have a TV by 2013. 62. The author intends to .A. stress the advantages of TV to people’s livesB. persuade women to become more independentC. encourage people to improve their reading skillsD. introduce the readers some websites such as Google 63. What would be the best title for the passage?A. TV Will Rule the WorldB. TV Will Disturb the WorldC. TV Will Better the WorldD. TV Will Remain in WorldCBusinesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers’ desire to go green . However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environmental reputation was not good enough.Harry Morrison, chief executive(主管)of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes:“I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmentalconsiderations, the clock is ticking—we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand. ”Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions(排放). Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “When companies are granted(授予)the standard, they can use a logo(标识)in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,”Mr. Morrison said. 64. What’s the main idea of th e passage?A. Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.B. Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.C. Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.D. Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers’ environmental awareness. 65. The underlined word“inform”in Paragraph 2 probably A. affectB. changeC. disturbD. reject66. According to Harry Morrison, businesses.A. will benefit from cutting carbon emissionsB. should buy carbon allowances for shoppersC. are required to make up for their carbon emissionsD. have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere67. We can learn from the passage that businesses A. have a strong desire to reduce costs B. use the same logo in their marketing C. gain advantages by taking early action D. attract more shoppers by storing goodsDColumbus College, 241 Queen Elizabeth Drive, Kowloon CityMemoTo: All StaffFrom: Jalie Mok, Secretary; Sports Development Committee Date: May 20, 2010A week ago, “Sports for Life” programme was sent to the parents, requiring them to select a sport they wanted their child to play.

阅读专练七AAndy rode slowly on his way to school, day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously—but without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇). The last sting had landed him in hospital—and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him. “When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.”On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home. “Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought. “They couldn’t get into the house.” Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but the bees were gaining ground. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon.Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam used by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he lived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.“Y ou’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover,” laughed his mother with relief. “Thank goodness you didn’t panic!” But Andy did not he ar her. He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow.56. Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier?A. He was riding to school.B. He was listening to a strange sound.C. He was going fishing with his father.D. He was lost in the thought of the fishing trip.57. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the swarm of bees in the passage?A.

He asked Mr. Nelson for help.B. He did himself under the water.C. He rushed into the Nelson house.D. He rode off in the opposite direction.59. Which of the following can best descr ibe Andy’s escape from the bees?A. No pains, no gains.B. Once bitten, twice shy.C. Where there is a will, there is a way.D.

C) lived only a hundred years apart , and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas , and how these ideas in turn ,shaped their societies.Neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars un Greece than in China. The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Socrates was not asked by rules how to govern effectively. Thus, Socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius, on the other hand, advised those in government service, and many of his students went out to government service.Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life:” Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some bad more potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的)classes.For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of the society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.64. Which of the following is TURE according to the first paragraph?A. Socrates and Confucius had much in common,B. Confucius had much influence on Socrates’ ideas.C. The societies ware influenced by the philosophers’ ideas.D. There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece.65. Socrates shared with Confucius the idea that .A. all men were equal when they were bornB. the lower classed should be ruled by the upper classC. the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdomD. people should not ask others to do what they did not want to66. What made some people different from others according to Confucius?A. Family.B. Potential.C. Knowledge.D. Community.67. This passage is organized in the pattern of ,A. time and eventsB. comparison and contrastC. cause and effectD. definition and classificationModern inventions have speeded up people’s loves amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boats (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientist; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Y et before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.68. The new products become more and more time-saving because .A. our love of speed seems never-endingB. time is limited.C. the prices are increasingly high.D. the manufactures boast a lot.69. What does “the days” in Paragraph 3 refer to ?A. Imaginary lifeB. Simple life in the past.C. Times of inventionsD. Time for constant activity.70. What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology?A. CriticalB. Objective.C. Optimistic.D. Negative.71. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The present and past times.B. Machinery and human beings.C. Imaginations and inventions.D. Modern technology and its influence.56. D57. D58. B59. D60. C61. A62. A63. C64. C65. B66. C67. B68. A69. B70. B71. D。
