2014高考高三年级英语模拟试卷（第I卷）总分：150分考试时间：120分钟一．阅读理解（40分）AThe time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world’s languages. Today humans express themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings change. The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English. People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesn’t come in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing?The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever.The future of the world’s languages depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allowed them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.56. Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _____languages in the world.A. 4,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. no more than 2057. In “The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing thelanguages of the smaller cultures,” the verb “replace” means “_____”.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to use a second thing in place of the first thingC. to find good place for somethingD. to decide how important something is58. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a major worldlanguage, _____.A. radio and television would all use the languageB. it would be easier for them to share their ideasC. lessons at schools would be taught in the languageD. people would respect their own culture more59. Also, the passage says that if nobody spoke the languages of smallercultures, _____.A. Many of the words for things we do not know would be lost.B. knowledge would come from the mouths of the eldersC. people would have difficult in working togetherD. there would be no smaller cultures.60. By saying “Time will have the last word,” the writer means “ _____”.A. let us wait and seeB. we have time to do somethingC. it is too late to do anythingD. it is only a problem of timeBPeople who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.“We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,” says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study’s lead researcher.In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms.Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of2control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds.To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions). The CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings that they had experienced that day.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy (堵塞) noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are, For now, it can not hurt to look on the bright side more often than not.61. What is the text mainly about?A. How to get rid of colds.B. Attitude determines life.C. Smiles turn away colds.D. Different opinions about colds.62.The phrase”full of vim and vigor” underlined in Paragraph 1 probablymeans___________.A.ignorantB. Well-informedC. energeticD. in low spirits63.According to the research, persons who are likely to catch colds should bethose __________?A. Who have negative attitude towards their life.B. Who are very emotional and optimistic.C. Who are open-minded and outgoing.D. Who have trouble with their noses64.The last paragraph implies that __________.A.positive and negative emotions have good aspects.B.people who have been less positive tend to catch colds.C.Keeping an optimistic state of mind is good for health.D.positive emotions have a stronger effect on health.C高三英语第3页Comic Strips（连环漫画）For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19th century, people produced and read books of drawing. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics. They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl（猫头鹰）and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and the tiger were brave. The fox and the wolf were cunning（狡猾的）greedy（贪婪的）and dangerous.A century ago, an American newspaper published the first full-colour comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.In modern times, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages. People believe that its creator, Charles M. Schultz, earned US$60 million a year.Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become a millionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters in your story. One type of person might say, “Please be quiet and listen to what we have to say.” But another type of character might simply say, “Shut up and listen!”Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They should be obviously good or bad ---- and not a mixture of both. A leader must be stronger or cleverer than his or her followers. In many comic strips ---- especially those showing crime of adventure ---- there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story.65. The underlined word “plot” is similar in meaning to _____.A. placeB. stripC. storyD. character66. Which of the following is NOT the name of a cartoon Character?A. Snoopy.B. Peanuts.C. Woodstock.D. Garfield.67. In the 19th century, the wolf in the cartoons was NOT _____.A. cunningB. dangerousC. greedyD. brave4DMeetings don’t just eat up time in the workplace ; they actually make groups of people stupider, says new research.Working in a group makes people perform worse on intelligence tests, as some group members are so anxious about doing well that they “divert”their brain towards maintaining their social status in the group.You may joke about how committee meetings make you feel brain dead, but our findings suggest that they make you act brain dead as well, said Read Montague the study leader at Virginia Tech.Groups of volunteers showed measurable drops in IQ when asked to perform intelligence tests socially, with the results broadcast to the group.Some people performed well in the “social”tests, but others were affected badly--- and overall,performance dropped.Women appear to feel this pressure more than men---only three out of 13 female volunteers performed well in a social environment, with 10 out of 13 finding that their performance dropped.The researchers used a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to monitor how people’s brains responded--- and found that bad performers tended to show activity in parts of their brain that dealt with emotions and anxiety.“We started with individuals who were matched for their IQ,”said Montague. “Yet when we placed them in small groups, ranked their performance on tasks against their peers, and broadcast the rankings, we saw dramatic drops in the ability of some study subjects to solve problems.”“Our study highlights the unexpected and dramatic consequences even subtle social signals in group settings may have on the individual,” said lead author Keneth Kishida.“We don’t know how much these effects are present in real-world settings. By placing an emphasis on competition, for example, are we missinga large segment of the talent pool?”68. Which of the following statements is Not true according to thepassage?A. Meetings make groups of people stupider.B. Meetings make you act brain dead.C. Meetings make people perform worse on intelligence tests.高三英语第5页D. Meetings don’t affect men’s performance in intelligence tests.69. This passage can be classified as __________.A. An advertisementB.a book reviewC. A feature storyD.a science report70.What would be the best title of the text?A. Brainstorming? More Like Brain DrainB. Brainstorming Affects People”s IQ TestC. Brainstorming Makes People Act Brain DeadD.Brainstorming Affects Women’s PerformanceE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 is understandable that family relationships are seen as important, but just as powerful are friendships. Indeed, researchers have found that friendships are often as strong as family relationships, if not stronger.One reason that friendships have such a huge impact on our lives can be explained by the term mirror neurons (神经元), which are neurons in our brains that fire not only when we ourselves do something, but also when we watch someone else do it. Therefore, when we see a friend struggling with a problem, we feel his or her pain and desire to help.Moreover, friendship is crucial to maintaining good mental health. A study published by the Mayo Clinic reveals that adults who maintain strong friendships are happier and healthier than those who do not. Friendships help prevent loneliness, increase a person’s sense of belonging and improve self-confidence. Thus, it is important to not only build new friendships but also to maintain those we already have.Knowing that friendships are so beneficial, it is disappointing to learn that they are becoming rarer in today’s society. For exam ple, the number ofAmericans who say they have no close friends has tripled since 1985. Also, a recent study in the UK showed that nearly one in ten adults has no close friends at all.Clearly, it is time for society to place more emphasis on friendships. They are a basic human need that contribute to our physical and emotional well-being, and it is vital that we keep them strong.29. What do some people often overlook in modern society?A. The importance of friendships.B. The joy of social gatherings.C. The benefits of family ties.D. The need for fun activities.30. Why are friendships powerful according to researchers?A. Family relationships are weak.B. Friends share interests and hobbies.C. Friendships can be stronger than family relationships.D. Friends often live closer to us than family.31. What can cause humans to feel others’ pain according to the passage?A. Genes.B. Family history.C. Experiences.D. Mirror neurons.32. What does the passage say about friendships and mental health?A. Maintaining a strong friendship can help prevent loneliness.B. Adults who have no close friendships are healthier.C. Friendships have no impact on mental health.D. It is easy to build new friendships but hard to maintain old ones.【答案】29. A. 30. C. 31. D. 32. A.BAs a teenager, it is easy to feel stressed due to the many pressures of school, family, and social life. Here are some helpful tips to reduce stress and lead a healthier life.First and foremost, it is important to take care of your physical health. Eating well and getting enough exercise can greatly improve your mood and energy levels. Avoid sugary snacks and junk food as they can cause energy crashes. Instead, focus on eating a balanced diet filled with fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins.In addition, getting enough sleep is crucial for teenagers. Lack of sleep can lead to poor concentration, mood swings, and a weakened immune system. Aim for 8-10 hours of sleep per night to ensure you are well-rested and ready to face the day.Another important aspect of stress management is time management. Many teenagers feel overwhelmed by the amount of work they have to do, from homework to extracurricular activities. Learn to prioritize tasks and make a schedule to ensure you have enough time for everything. Remember to take breaks and relax when needed, as overworking yourself can lead to burnout.Finally, it is important to seek help when needed. If you are feeling overwhelmed or stressed, talk to a trusted friend, family member, or counselor. Sometimes simply talking about your feelings can help relievestress and anxiety. Remember, you are not alone, and there are people who care about you and want to help.By following these tips and taking care of your physical and emotional well-being, you can reduce stress and lead a happier, healthier life as a teenager.33. What is the first tip for teenagers to reduce stress?A. Sleeping wellB. Eating more sugary snacksC. taking long restsD. Taking good care of physical health34.

第I卷第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AEP Portable HeaterWe all know that the cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. Now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with the EP Portable Heater. With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EP heats better and faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silent.The EP has no exposed heating parts that can cause a fire. The outside of EP only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets.The EP will not reduce oxygen in the room. With other heaters, you’ll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.The advanced EP also heats the room evenly, wall to wall and floor to ceiling. it comfortably covers an area up to 350 square feet. Other heaters heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated to the center of the room. And they only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EP, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.The EP comes with a 3-year warranty(保修) and a 60-day. no questions asked. Satisfaction guarantee. If you are not totally satisfied, return it to our expertise and your money will be given back to you.Now, we have a special offer for 10 days, during which you can enjoy a half price discount and a free delivery. if you order that, we reserve the right to either accept or reject order requests at the discounted price.Take action right now!21. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 2?A. the heat of the EPB. the safety of the EPC. the appearance of the EPD. the material of the EP22. From the passage, we can learn that the EP____.A. doesn’t burn up oxygenB. runs without any noiseC. makes people get sleepyD. is unsuitable for children and pets23. The und erlined word “evenly” in paragraph 4 probably means____.A. continuouslyB. separatelyC. quicklyD. equally24. The main purpose of the passage is to____.A. persuade people to buy the productB. advise people to save on heating billsC. report the new development of portable heatersD. compare the difference of different heart brandsBThey baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert （警觉）. Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视）starts to lose its focus —until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise （同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.25. The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby’s__.A. sense of hearingB. sense of sightC. sense of touchD. sense of smell26. Babies are sensitive to the change in______.A. the size of cardsB. the colour of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects27. Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies’ interest.28. Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Children’s literature.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.CDoes Fame Drive You Crazy?Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities — famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.29. It can be learned from the passage that stars today____.A. are often misunderstood by the publicB. can no longer have their privacy protectedC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have come into fame30. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.31. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A. Availability of modern media.B. Inadequate social recognition.C. Lack of favorable chances.D. Huge population of fans.32. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sincere.B. Sceptical.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.DThe National GalleryDescription:The National Gallery is the British national art museum built on the north side of Trafalgar Square in London. It houses a diverse collection of more than 2,300 examples of European art ranging from 13th-century religious paintings to more modern ones by Renoir and Van Gogh.

And many people would argue that it’s not the number of cars on the road, but the _42_ of the drivers that is the main cause of concern.According to one survey, 37% of Shanghai drivers have less than three years of driving experience. Many of these drivers are middle-aged and have never operated machinery more _43_ than a washing machine. On the road, they drive fast when they should drive slow, _44_ use turn signals, and make right turns on red lights without stopping first. And in the past year, there have been several incidents that resulted in pedestrian deaths when _45_ drivers mistook the gas pedal for the brake (刹车)pedal.There are new regulations _46_ at making it more difficult for people to get a driver’s license, but that is only a partial solution to Shanghai’s traffic problems. What is really needed is a _47_ in drivers’ attitudes. There seems to be a lack of concern for safety on the part of drivers: their own safety and the safety of others. You can see this every day as drivers change lanes aggressively and _48_ pedestrians at crosswalks and intersections.A car is a great convenience, but it can also be a _49_ weapon. Drivers will have to realize that before Shanghai’s streets can become truly safe.III. Reading Comprehension (50%)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.German universities, known for their excellence throughout the world in the early part of the 20th century, are in a state of decline, according to Michael Burda, an American economics professor at Berlin’s Humholdt University．Burda claims that Germany’s 300 schools of 50 learning are being hurt by ―a long-time shortage of general 51 ．―No statistic（统计数字）makes this more evident than a low proportion of young Germans actually 52 university-level degrees,‖ he says．Only 22 per cent of German students aged 24-34 53 complete their university studies．That’s compared to 31 percent in the UK, and 39 percent in the US, 54 the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development （OECD）．One reason for the decline is that Germany spends barely 1．1 per cent of its gross 55 product （GDP）on higher education, compared to 2．6 percent in the US．― A central reason why so few Germans56 university degrees here is the deterioration （下降/退化）in the 57 of education．This certainly comes from the rise in the number of students per teacher．Those who have the will and the means often study 58 ,‖ he said．Since the 1960s, more than 90 percent of German higher education has been publicly supported．Famous universities are still public institutions, 59 by federal and regional governments．Private funding of universities is 60 in Germany．This comes from the country’s lack of a donating tradition and rules limiting the amounts of tax-free donations．But now there signs that 61 may be changing．Professor Dieter Lenzen, president of Berlin’s Free University, agrees that62 money has to be spent on higher education．But he disputes Burda’s claim that German universiti es are in 63 ．―A decade ago that may have been the 64 , but that was a result of the unsteady situation at the time of reunification．Now, things have changed for the better,‖ Lenzen said．50．A．self B．high C．higher D．language 51．A．loan B．funding C．aid D．finance 52．A．completing B．rewarding C．demanding of D．applying for 53．A．successfully B．scarcely C．fail to D．try to 54．A．thanks to B．due to C．owing to D．according to 55．A．definite B．digital C．dominant D．domestic 56．A．persuade B．pursue C．seek D．refuse 57．A．difficulty B．quantity C．quality D．organization 58．A．here B．abroad C．alone D．at home 59．A．administered B．established C．managed D．financed 60．A．rare B．common C．sufficient D．rejected 61．A．tax B．money C．attitudes D．decision 62．A．less B．more C．no D．enough 63．A．progress B．decline C．need D．development 64．A．evidence B．occasion C．situation D．caseSection BDirections:Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The Internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card fraud. Your card information could even be for sale in an illegal Web site.Web sites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care. On-line shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they bought.The thieves then go shopping with your card number or sell the information over the Internet.Computers hackers(黑客) have broken down security systems, raising questions about the safety of cardholder information. Several months ago,25 000 customers of CD Universe, an on-line music retailer(批发商),were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Web site after the retailer refused to pay US $157 828 to get back the information.Credit-card firms are now fighting against on-line fraud. Master Card is working on plans for Web-only credit card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping on-line.However, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.Ask about your credit-card firm's on-line rules: Under British law, cardholders are responsible for the first US $78 of any fraudulent spending.And shop only at secure sites: Send your credit-card information only if the Web site offers advanced secure system.If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The Web site address may also start with https://—the extra ―s‖ stands for secure. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.Keep your password safe: Most online sites require a user name and password before placing an order. Treat your passwords with care.65. What do most people worry about the Internet according to this passage?A. A lot of stolen credit-cards were sold on the Internet.B. Fraud on the Internet.C. Many Web sites are destroyed.D. Many illegal Web sites are on the Internet.66. What is the meaning of the word ―fraud‖ ?A. cheatingB. saleC. paymentD. safety67. How can the thieves get the information of the credit-card?A. The customers give them the information.B. The thieves steal the information from Web sites.C. The customers sell the information to them.D. Both A and B.68. You are shopping on the site: ,and you want to buy a TV set, what does this article suggest doing?A. Order the TV set at once.B. Do not buy the TV set on this site.C. E-mail the site your credit-card information.D. Tell the site your password and buy the TV set for you.(B)Before we send humans into deep space, we’ll have to find out just how long the human body can survi ve in a weightless environment. One problem is that in space there’s no physical sensation to let you know when you’re upside down and astronauts have to rely on possible clues from their surroundings. A few hours after reaching orbit(轨道), one in three of all astronauts will experience space sickness—a feeling rather like carsickness. There is also the problem of protection from the extreme hazards(危险) of space such as constant meteorite bombardment(陨星轰击) and radiation. It is going to take some clever technology to keep rockets and astronautsfrom these dangers.Even with a well-protected spaceship, space travel isn’t going to be easy. No matter what you travel in, it is going to be a long flight in space! Science fiction writers often imagine using suspended animation(动画), a kind of forced long-term sleep, as a way for astronauts to escape the boredom of long missions.An even stronger measure might be to freeze the astronauts. We already use cryogenic(低温) techniques to preserve dead bodies and store human embryos(胚胎). Freezing living adults may not be so far away, but perhaps we don’t have to do that. Perhaps we should use our existing technology and send frozen embryos to the far corners of universe.Hundreds of years from now, billions and billions of miles away, the embryos will be thawed(解冻) and their hearts will start beating. These astronauts of the future will not grow inside a mother’s body but will be produced in a machine. They will be brought up by robot. It may seem strange but one day it might just happen.69. We can learn from the passage that _______.A. scientists already use existing technology to store embryos for space flightB. cryogenic techniques will practically be used for space flight in hundreds of yearsC. it may be easier to freeze embryos than to freeze adults on the spaceshipD. most astronauts will suffer from space sickness70. In the future astronauts for extreme long journeys will grow up_____.A. before they go into spaceB. during the space tripC. when they are inside mother’s bodyD. after they return from space71. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the bright future of space flightB. the possibility to train embryo astronautsC. the physical and mental conditions of astronautsD. the problems and the possible solutions to them in long space flights( C )NASDAQ, acronym for the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation system, is one of the largest markets in the world for the trading of stocks. The number of companies listed on NASDAQ is more than that on any of the other stock exchange in the United States, including the New York Stock Exchange(NYSE) and the American Stock Exchange (AMSE). The majority of companies listed on NASDAQ are smaller than most of those on the NYSE and AMSX. NASDAQ has become known as the home of new technology companies, particularly computer and computer-related businesses. Trading on NASDAQ is started by stock brokers(经纪人) acting on behalf of their clients. The brokers negotiate with market makers who concentrate on trading specific stocks to reach a price for the stock.Unlike other stock exchange, NASDAQ has no central location where trading takes place. Instead, its market makers are located all over the country and make trades by telephone and via the Internet. Because brokers and market makers trade stocks directly instead of on the floor of a stock exchange, NASDAQ is called an over-the-counter market. The term over-the –counter refers to the direct nature of the trading, as in a store where goods are handed over a counter.Since its inception(开市) in 1971, the NASDAQ Stock Market has been the innovator(创新者). As the world’s first electronic stock market, NASDAQ long ago set a precedent(先例) fortechnological trading innovation that is unrivaled(无对手的). Now ready to become the world’s first truly global market, the NASDAQ Stock Market is the market of choice for business industry leaders worldwide. By providing an efficient environment for raising capital NASDAQ has helped thousands of companies achieve their desired growth and successfully make the leap into public ownership.72. What is TRUE of NASDAQ?A.It is the largest stock market in the world.B.IT lists only small companies.C.It lists all the new technology companies.D.It lists the biggest number of companies.73. The word‖ negotiate‖(Line 8,Para.1) means ________.A. discussB. argueC. interfereD. cope74. NASDAQ is also known as an over-the –counter market because it seems______.A. a stock marketB. a stock exchangeC. a counterD. a store75. Since its founding in 1971, NASDAQ has contributed to ______.A.raising money for many companiesB.creating an efficient environment for many companiesC.the expected development of many companiesD.the unexpected development of many companiesSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A - F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76. ______________________Current research into the human gene system is helping us understand why people have predispositions（易患某病倾向）to certain diseases. Knowing our genetic makeup can help us to judge whether or not we may be stricken by particular illness, such as cancer. Even before birth, we are able to do genetic screenings to determine what a child's genetic disorder will be. Scientists have already isolated and identified the genes responsible for the more than 4,000 genetic diseases that affect human beings.77. ______________________The implications of this knowledge are astonishing. In addition to predicting genetic predisposition towards diseases, gene therapies may provide new treatments or cures for serious diseases. Millions of people already use genetically engineered drugs to treat heart disease, cancer, AIDS, and strokes（中风）. But with the research that is now being conducted, we may find curesto many more diseases. In the near future, genetic experimentation will also allow parents to select the traits of their children. Genetic traits that determine height, weight, eye and hair color will be able to be controlled, and many parents are excited about this potential.78. ______________________Many people, however, are unwilling to accept the possibilities genetic research.. For example, one reason some women do not use the largest genetic testing for breast cancer is because they are afraid they will be discriminated against. Another problem is that many people do not want to discover their weakness. What if they learn that they have a disease for which there are no medical cures? How will such knowledge affect their lives? Do people really want to know what they will die of?79. ______________________Many people believe that history has not always shown human decision-making to be bright when it comes to ethical（道德的）choices. Jeremy Rifkin is probably the most well known opponent of genetic engineering. He believes that humans are not responsible enough to experiment with genes and should not "play God" He asks, "Just because it can be done, does that mean it should be done?" He points out that our society will eventually look and act the same if parents select the traits of their children, and he questions the desirability of such a society.80. ______________________One of the fears expressed about genetic experimentation involves privacy. Already blood sample taken from patients in hospitals have been used for genetic research without the patients' permission. Most people would agree that one's health and genetic makeup are private concerns. But if insurance companies gain access to this information, it could have a large impact on insurance coverage or costs; if employers gain access to the information, it could have a large impact on hiring or promotion decisions. The possibilities for discrimination are obvious. Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.（No more than 12 words）A long-awaited final report from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concludes that foods from healthy cloned animals and their offspring are as safe as those from ordinary animals, effectively removing the last US regulatory barrier to the marketing of meat and milk from cloned cattle, pigs and goats.The 968-page "final risk assessment," not yet released but obtained by The Washington Post, finds no evidence to support people’s concerns that food from clones may have hidden risk s. But, recognizing that a majority of consumers are wary of（谨慎的）food from clones—and that cloning could damage the good image of American milk and meat—the report includes hundreds of pages of raw data so that others can see how it came to its conclusions.The report also acknowledges that human health concerns are not the only subject raised by the coming-out of cloned farm animals.―Moral, religious and ethical concerns have been raised,‖ the agency notes in a document accompanying the report. But the report is ―exactly a science-based assessment.‖ It reports, because the agency is not authorized by law to consider those issues.In practice, it will be years before foods from clones make their way to store shelves in large quantities, in part because the clones themselves are too valuable to kill or milk. Instead, the expensive animals’replicas(复制品) of some of the finest farm animals ever born — will be used firstly as breeding stock to create what supporters say will be a new generation of superior farm animals.When food from those animals hits the market, the public may yet have its say. FDA officials have said they do not expect to require food from clones to be labeled as such, but they may allow foods from ordinary animals to be labeled as not from clones.81. What conclusion has FDA drawn after the public waited for a long time?82. Foods from clones won’t be available soon partly because _________________.83. With the appearance of cloned farm animals, people care more about _________________ problems.84. How will foods from ordinary animals be labeled?第II卷I.

Yet, as you look at one, have you ever wondered how it gets the water it needs? We all knowthat trees grow in soil, and the roots draw water and nutrients from it. Butthe redwoods' roots are different. In an amazing way, they rely on the fogthat rolls in from the sea.Long, slender roots spread out from the redwoods' trunks rather than reaching deep into the ground. Scientists have found that it is a special, thin kind of root hair covered with a light fuzz that can absorb water directlyfrom the air. When the fog rolls in, the root hairs on the redwoods' shallow roots take in the fog, extracting precious water droplets from it.To the redwoods, the fog is as important as rain. In California, where most of these giant trees grow, there is often a dry season in summer. Without fog, the redwoods would have no water to grow during that time. Scientists believe that the redwoods have been surviving on fog for thousands of years,The special roots system enables redwoods to recover from forest fires. The flames may kill the trunks, but the roots often remain unharmed. Aslong as the roots are healthy, the trunks can quickly sprout up again, making it possible for redwoods to live for thousands of years. The water from the fog ensures that the redwoods continue to grow even after a fire.35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Redwoods have an interesting root system.B. Redwoods rely on fog for water.C. Redwoods can recover from forest fires.D. Redwoods are the tallest trees on earth.36. According to the passage, where do redwoods grow?A. In the desert.B.

Why are the redwoods able to recover from forest fires?A. Because the flames can't harm the roots.B. Because the roots rest during fires.C. Because the trunks sprout up again.D. Because the roots can store water.IX. Read the passage and Pont out the mistakes in each sentence. Write your corrections on the ANSWER SHEET. Make sure your corrected sentences both right and clear.
