You didn’t wear anything when you arrived.” This really angered me. I tore my clothes off—shoes, socks, underwear and all—and 40 , “Can I go now?”“Yes,” Mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”I was so 41 that I slammed (砰地关上) the door and stepped out on the front porch. 42 I realized that I was outside, with nothing on. Then I noticed that down the street, two neighbor girlswere walking toward our house. I ran to 43 behind a big tree in our yard at once. After a while, I was 44 the girls had passed by. I dashed to the front door and banged on it loudly.“Who’s there?” I heard.“It’s Billy! Let me in!”The voice behind the 45 answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.” Glancing behind me to see if anyone else was coming, I begged, “Aw, c’mon, Mom! I’m 46 your son. Let me in!”The door inched open and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your 47 about running away?” she asked.“What’s for supper?” I answered. (277 words)36.

So far, it’s been given to kids in 143 countries. (154 words)Part III Reading Comprehension (30 marks)Directions: Read the following three 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.APlanning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost £118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as , which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95.LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day). (358 words)56. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may __________.A. help travelers pass timeB. attract lots of travelers to the UKC. allow travelers to make flexible plansD. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation57. “Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably __________.A. a hotel away from the train stationB. the tube line to Covent GardenC. an ideal holiday destinationD. the name of a travel agency58. The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat __________.A. lies on the ground floorB. is located in central LondonC. provides cooking facilities for touristsD. costs over £100 on average per day in late September59. Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of __________.A. half an hourB. one hourC. one hour and a halfD. two hours60. The main purpose of the passage is __________.A. to tell visitors how to book in advanceB. to supply visitors with hotel informationC. to show visitors the importance of self-helpD. to offer visitors some money-saving tipsBIn my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “Bloom (开花) where you are planted.”It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.Dorothy taught in a school In Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy’s classroom. I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). In case you don’t know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph. D. degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things. (360 words)61. “Early Childhood Development” in Paragraph 1 refers to __________.A. a program directed by DorothyB. a course given by the authorC. an activity held by the studentsD. an organization sponsored by Union college62. In the journey, the author was most disappointed at seeing __________.A. the long trackB. the poor housesC. the same trainD. the winding road63. Upon arriving at the classroom, the author was cheered up by __________.A. a warm welcomeB. the sight of poke greensC. Dorothy’s latest projectsD. a big dinner made for her64. What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph?A. She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant.B. She got a pen as a gift from the author.C. She passed the required assessment.D. She received her Ph. D. degree.65. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A. Whatever you do, you must do it carefully.B. Whoever you are, you deserve equal treatment.C. However poor you are, you have the right to education,D. Wherever you are, you can accomplish your achievement.CIt’s such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it’s pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.It’s a library built with love.A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That’s what we’re going to do for our spring break!”Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he’d built years earlier for daughter Abbie’s toy horses, and made a door of glass.After adding the library’s final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.They stocked it with 20 or so books they’d already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids’favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,”said Janey, a stay-at-home mom.Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.The project’s best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”(317 words)66. In what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”?A. It owns a yellow roof.B. It stands near a sidewalk.C. It protects book lovers from the sun.D. It uses palm-tree stickers as decorations.67. Janey got the idea to build a library from __________.A. a visit to Brian WilliamsB. a spring break with her familyC. a book sent by one of her neighborsD. a report on a Wisconsin-based organization68. The library was built __________.A. by a ship supply companyB. on the basis of toy horsesC. like a mailboxD. with glass69. What can we infer about the signboard?A. It was made by a user of the library.B. It marked a final touch to the library.C. It aimed at making the library last long.D. It indicated the library was a family property.70. The passage tells us that the users __________.A. donate books to the libraryB. get paid to collect books for the libraryC. receive thank-you notes for using the libraryD. visit the library over 5 times on average dailyPart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.While there is no widely accepted definition of MOOCs, their key features are open access：they are currently free to participants, no entry qualifications are required, they support an unlimited number of participants and as yet, very few include any form of accreditation (认证).Currently offered by some famous universities, MOOCs are attractive to people who do not have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education, or who do not have formal qualifications. They also allow participants to study at their own pace.The potential for MOOCs to deliver education is obviously vast—they could be considered as a huge step forwards in widening participation. They also have the potential to provide a unique window on universities that offer popular and valuable courses, they may attract some participants to register for formal fee-paying programmes at the same or other universities and are likely to promote new ways of on-line education.However, it is still very early days for MOOCs. The quality of the education provision is highly variable, with many courses offering only recordings of lectures, and delivery is particularly difficult in some special fields that require practical classes, research projects or extensive library access. Besides, wider engagement with participants requires very considerable resource. Even limited feedback or examination becomes a major task if there are several thousand students in the class.Considering the challenges, some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate (蒸发). But they certainly provide good opportunity for widening higher education, are a means of raising awareness of universities to audiences of tens or hundreds of thousands, and are well worthy of serious consideration.

I met all the usual people：street performers, the Pigeon Guy, a group of guitarists singing in harmony. But off to the side, sitting on a bench was a woman doing something vastly different—giving free advice.A week or two later, I set up an interview with her and we discussed her project at length.Lisa Podell, 32, started the Free Advice Project this past May. It began as an experiment；she sat in Washington Square Park for a day with a sign that read “Free Advice” as a simple way to reach out to people. Podell was astonished at the strong response.Podell admits that she was doubtful at first, but now she describes the project as mutually (相互地) beneficial. People learn from her—but she also learns from them. She says that the majority of those who come to her are dealing with some pretty heavy issues, and they expect her not only to listen, but also provide real answers.Having worked as a full time teacher and now as an adolescent advisor, Podell believes that talking things out is an important in the decision-making process.Sometimes, people walk around all day, keeping their problems in their own head and thinking about them in the same way. Podell simply strives to provide people with perspective.I asked if there is a future plan for the Free Advice Project. Podell said she would like to promote it to each public space in New York, which would be carried out by various volunteers across the city.It was truly inspiring to meet someone with such a big heart, especially in New York—where it is sometimes very hard to find anybody to listen.

2013高考英语
2013高考英语2013年高考英语试题篇章一In our society today，many people have developed the habit of taking things for granted and complaining all the time. Every day we can hear people complaining，at bus stops，in supermarkets，in the office or just on the street. Some complain because they have a tireless boss，while others grumble(抱怨)about their working conditions，such as low wages and long working hours. Even young students complain about their teachers and their homework. There seems to be no end to people's complaints.When we are busy complaining，we sometimes forget that we live in a fast-changing world, one that offers many opportunities. We should learn to be grateful for what we have. That is not to say that we should simply accept the way things are，but rather，we should not dwell on the negatives and complaints. Instead，we should focus on the positives and be grateful for what we have. Only by doing this can we open our eyes to the opportunities around us.Complaining all the time not only brings negative energy into our lives，but also affects our relationships with others. Who wants to spend time with someone who constantly complains about everything? By complaining，we push people away，and we also push ourselves into a negative state of mind. Complaining becomes a habit that is hard to break，and the more we complain，the more miserable we become.Next time you feel like complaining，instead of focusing on the negatives，try to find something positive in the situation. For example，if you have a demanding boss，try to see it as an opportunity to improve your skills and learn new things. If you have a lot of homework，be grateful for the opportunity to gain knowledge and improve yourself. By changing your attitude and focusing on the positives，you will be surprised how much better you will feel.In conclusion，complaining all the time does not lead to happiness or success in life. It only brings negativity and misery. Instead，we should learn to be grateful for what we have and focus on the positives. Only by doing this can we bring positive energy into our lives and open our eyes to the opportunities around us.。
2013高考英语试题
2013高考英语试题IntroductionThe 2013 high school entrance examination in English was a crucial test for students across China. This article aims to analyze the key components of the exam and provide a comprehensive evaluation of its difficulty level, as well as discussing possible areas for improvement.Section 1: Listening ComprehensionThe listening comprehension section of the 2013 high school entrance examination aimed to assess students' ability to understand spoken English in various contexts. It consisted of a series of audio clips followed by multiple-choice questions. The questions covered a wide range of topics, including everyday conversations, announcements, and academic lectures.This section proved challenging for many students, as the audio clips were played only once. In order to succeed, candidates had to demonstrate strong listening skills and the ability to quickly identify relevant information. Additionally, the fast pace of the recordings posed a major hurdle for students who were not accustomed to listening to English conversations at such speed.Section 2: Reading ComprehensionThe reading comprehension section presented students with a series of passages, each followed by a set of questions. These passages covered a variety of genres, including news articles, opinion pieces, and literaryextracts. The questions required students to demonstrate their understanding of the main ideas, supporting details, and implied meanings within the text.The difficulty level of the reading comprehension section was generally evenly spread, with some passages being relatively straightforward while others were more challenging. However, one common complaint among students was the presence of certain technical vocabulary or complex sentence structures that made it difficult for them to grasp the overall meaning of the text. It is recommended that future exams provide more balanced passages to ensure a fair assessment of students' reading abilities.Section 3: Vocabulary and GrammarThe vocabulary and grammar section tested students' knowledge of essential English language components, including word meanings, collocations, word forms, and grammatical structures. The questions were in the form of fill-in-the-blank sentences and multiple-choice format.The difficulty level of this section was generally manageable, although some students found certain questions quite challenging. In particular, there were instances where students needed to select the most appropriate word or phrase to complete a sentence, which required a deeper understanding of word usage and context. It is suggested that future exams include more contextualized questions to assess students' ability to apply vocabulary and grammar rules in real-life situations.Section 4: WritingThe writing section required students to compose an essay on a given topic within a limited time frame. The topics ranged from personalexperiences to social issues, allowing students to express their thoughts and ideas in a coherent manner.The difficulty level of the writing section was balanced, with topics being relevant and relatable to the everyday lives of students. However, some students struggled with organizing their ideas effectively and expressing themselves fluently in written English. To improve this section, it is recommended that future exams provide more guidance on essay structure and give students more practice in organizing their thoughts before writing.ConclusionIn conclusion, the 2013 high school entrance examination in English had its fair share of challenges for students. While certain sections proved difficult, overall, the exam aimed to assess students' language skills in a comprehensive manner. By acknowledging the strengths and weaknesses of the exam, future exams can be improved to provide a fair and accurate evaluation of students' language proficiency.。

Fill in each blank with words or phrases that best fits the context.I have been told in China, having a pet, particularly a dog, is oft en considered to be a status symbol because it shows the famil y can 36 to have an animal. It is different here.In Canada it is 37 for people to have pets. Many people h ave dogs. Many others have cats and there are people who keep fish, birds or rabbits. Some keep what we call exotic pets. The se might be ferrets, snakes or almost any other animal you can think of, although keeping 38 pets is often difficult and becau se it can also be hard on the animal. The keeping of some exoti c animals is not allowed by law. Now, my wife and I live in a s mall town. We no longer have a 39 --- we live in an apartment. We have a cat named Callie and she never goes out 40 onto the balcony so cars are no longer an issue. She’s about sixteen years old and will probably live to be twenty or more. The 41 will come when she dies and we no l onger have a pet. We have had a pet for so long it seems like a natural part of our lives and without a cat around the house it w ill seem somehow 42 . On the other hand, we are getting olde r and given that a cat can live about twenty years we wonder if we will ever have another after Callie goes. Cats are cutest, of c ourse, when they are small kittens but a kitten is 43 for a long er time than we may have left.I think having a pet is very good for a number of reasons. It h elps to teach children how to look after a 44 creature, makes them realize that animals have feelings just like we do and that, in many ways, we depend on each other. For older people like me an animal is a 45 and a comfort to have around, a pet, pr operly treated, returns the favor by 46 unconditional love. Wouldn’t this world be a 47 place if people could learn how to do that.36. A. buy B. afford C. supply D. provid e37. A. commonB. unusualC. particularD. public38.

A. giving out B. giving in C. giving back D. giving off47. A. bad B. great C. messyD. poorSECTION C.(12 points)Directions: Complete the following passage by using ONE wor d that best fits the context.My WatchIf you have a watch, don’t repair it! I know it for certain. Once I had a beautiful watch ,and this 48 kept perfect(准确的) time. But one night it so happened that I forgot to wing it up(上发条). Next 49 I went to a 50 as I wanted my watch to be s et the exact time. The watchmaker examined my watch and sai d, “The regulator(调节器)is to be pushed up(拨一拨)as your watch is 4 minutes 51 ”. I tried to stop him, tried to make him understand that my watch kept the perfect tine, but h e didn’t listen to me and push the regulatorMy beautiful watch began to gain. It gained faster and faster d ay by day. By the end of the second mouth it had left all the 5 2 and watches of the town far behind.What did I have to do? To take it to another watchmaker to beregulated. I expected him to regulate the watch immediately,53 he told me to come in a week. When at last I took my watch from him, it began to slow down. And I began to be late for tra ins, business appointments and even missed my dinners.Now I went to the third watchmaker. While I waited for him to repair my poor watch, he took it to pieces and said that he coul d mend it in 3 days. I had 54 to do but agree. That time my w atch went for half a day and then 55 (stop).So I kept taking my watch from one watchmaker to another fo r a considerable period of time. And as a result of it the cleveres t man in the world could not tell the time by my watch. The thing was getting serious. My watch had cost hundred dollars origina lly, but I paid for repairs over two thousand. At last I decided to buy another watch.PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION (30 points)Directions: Read the following 3 passages. Each passage is fo llowed by several questions or unfinished statements.

So he drove t o him and asked，“Where are you going，sir?”“To the Red Hotel，” the young man answered. When the taxi driver heard this， he didn’t feel happy any more. The you ng man would give him only three dollars because the hotel wa s near the railway station. But suddenly， he had an idea. He to ok the young man through many streets of the big city. After a l ong time， they arrived at the hotel. “Here we are! You should pay me fifteen dollars，please，” the taxi driver said to the young man. “What? Fifteen dollars! Do you think I’m a fool?

This explains a warning that cell phone manufacturers include in the small print that is often i gnored when a new phone is purchased. Apple, for example, d oesn’t want iPhones to come closer to you than 1.5 centimeters ; Research In Motion, BlackBerry’s manufacturer, recommends 2.5 centimeters.If health issues arise from cell phone use, the possible effects a re huge. Voice calls - Americans chat on cell phones 2.26 trillio亿)minutes annually - earn $109 billion for the wireless carriers. Devra Davis, an expert who has worked for the University of Pit tsburgh, has published a book about cell phone radiation, “Disc onnect.” The book surveys scientific research and concludes th e question is not settled.Brain cancer is a concern that Ms. Davis examines. Over all, th ere has not been an increase in its incidence since cell phones arrived. But the average masks an increase in brain cancer in t he 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older population.“Most cancers have multiple causes,” she says, but she points t o laboratory research that suggests low-energy radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer.Children are more vulnerable（易受伤的）to radiation than adults, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out . Radiation that penetrates only five centimeters into the brain o f an adult will reach much deeper into the brains of children bec ause their skulls are thinner and their brains contain more absor ptive fluid（易吸收的液体）. No studies have yet been completed on cell phone radiati on and children, she says.Henry Lai, a research professor in the bioengineering departmeudies in 1980 and found that rats exposed to radiation had dam aged DNA in their brains.Ms. Davis recommends using wired headsets or the phone’s sp eaker. Children should text rather than call, she said, and pregn ant women should keep phones away from the abdomen（腹部）.66. Why is the warning in the small print?A. They don’t want the users to pay attention to it.B. There is not enough space for the warning.C. They think people will not care about it.D. The warning is not important at all.67. According to Ms Davis, brain cancer increase .A. among childrenB. among old peopleC. in the twentiesD. among pregnant women68. Why do children easily be affected by radiation?A. Because they haven’t grown up.B. Because they are too young to protect themselves.C. Because they use cell phones more often than adults.D. Because their skulls are thinner and their brains are easily hurt.69. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A. Pregnant women should keep cell phones away.B. People should use cell phones in the correct way.C. If you are a child, you’d better text than make phone calls.D. When you use a cell phone, use a wired headset or the phon e’s speaker.70. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Be careful when using cell phones.B. Don’t hold your cell phone against your ear.C. Rats exposed to radiation have damaged DNA in their brai ns.D. Low-energy radiation could damage cells that could lead to cancer.PART FOUR WRITING (45 points)SECTION A.(10 points)Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE TH AN 3 WORDS for each answer.On the day of Chongyang Festival, one traditional activity is t o climb mountains. However, mountains are not everywhere forpeople to climb. Therefore, for those people who live in flat regi ons far from any mountain, the problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes. The Chinese word for cake is Gao, a h omonym of the Chinese word for high. Mountains are high, so e ating cakes can, by a stretch of the imagination, take the place of going for a climb.The tradition of eating cakes in September is originated from th e ancient times. Though the name of “Gao” started from the Six Dynasties, the cakes had already existed in Han Dynasty, whic h was called “Er” in Chinese at that time. It is made of rice flour, which is classified into two types: paddy(水稻) rice flour and millet(粟米) rice flour. They are mixed together, which is named “Er”. In September, the millet is ripe. It is regarded as the food just in se ason, which is offered to ancestors as sacrifices. Chongyang C ake comes from the food just in season in September. That is w hy Chongyang Cake is recommended for offering sacrifices to a ncestors on the day of Chongyang Festival.In the Six Dynasties, cakes become the food for the season as t he tradition Chongyang Festival is formed with the promotion of mountain-climbing activity. As the cakes appear in different forms, Chong yang Cake was also called Hua (Colorful) Cake in the Ming & Qing Dynasty and became the food for the season in urban and r ural areas. Hua Cake is divided into Unpolished Hua Cake, Refi ned Hua Cake and Gold Coin Hua Cake. Unpolished Hua Cake is marked with caraway(香菜) leaves, sandwiched with date, peach kernel(果仁) and other unpolished dry fruits. Refined Hua Cake is made i n either two or three layers, with each sandwiched with refined glazed fruits, such as preserved apple, peach and apricot.SECTION B.(10 points)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the requir ed words limit.According to the sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a soci al group. In the family, traditional cultural patterns confer (赠与) leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases, su ch as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually e merge (显现) as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through el ection or recruitment.l personal ability, decades of research have failed to produce co nsistent（可靠的）evidence that there is any category of “natural leaders”. It seem s that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have i n common; rather, virtually (actually) any person may be recogn ized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group.Research suggests that there are typically two different lead ership roles that are held by different individuals. Instrumental l eadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of task s by a social group. Group members look to instrumental leader s to “get things done”. Expressive (有表现力的) leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasize s the collective（集体的）well beings of a social group’s members. Expressive leaders ar e less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with pr oviding emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize (将……减到最少) tension and conflict among them. Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary r elationship to other group members. They give orders and may discipline group members who prevent attaining the group’s go als. Expressive leaders cultivate（培养）a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group.They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties an d try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As the difference in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders gener ally receive more personal affection from group members; instr umental leaders, if they are successful in achieving group goals , may enjoy a more distant respect.81. How are leaders usually chosen? (no more than 9 words)________________________________________________________ __82. What do expressive leaders generally focus on? （(no more than 6 words）________________________________________________________ __83. What kind of person may be considered a leader according to the writer? ((no more than 15 words)________________________________________________________ __84. What does the passage mainly discuss? （(no more than 8 words）________________________________________________________ __SECTION C.(25 points)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instr uctions given below in Chinese.假设你是李华，你校高三年级正在组织北京大学(Beijing University)自主招生活动，请你根据以下要点提示给你在美国的表兄Andy写一封信。

2013高考英语试题一、阅读理解Passage 1Questions 1-5Read the following passage and answer the questions.Language is a flexible tool. That fact is especially clear in the history of the English language.The English language has changed dramatically over the centuries. Old English, from which Modern English is derived, was spoken and written from roughly the years 450 to 1150. The language that was spoken during these years sounds similar to German, Old Norse, and Old Frisian.Middle English, which came after Old English, was spoken and written from about 1150 to about 1500. It is quite difficult for Modern English speakers to understand Middle English because the pronunciation and vocabulary are so different. The Canterbury Tales, written by Geoffrey Chaucer in the late 14th century, is one of the most famous works of literature written in Middle English.Modern English, as we know it today, has been spoken and written since about the late 15th century. The language continued to evolve, with influences from the Renaissance, theIndustrial Revolution, and the technological advancements of the 20th and 21st centuries.1.What is the main topic of the passage?A)The history of the English languageB)The differences between Old English andModern EnglishC)The influence of the Renaissance on theEnglish languageD)The Canterbury Tales as an example ofMiddle English literature2.When was Old English spoken and written?A)Roughly from 450 to 1150B)Roughly from the late 15th century to thepresentC)From about 1150 to about 1500D)Since about the late 15th century3.Which of the following is true about Middle English?A)It is difficult for Modern English speakersto understand.B)It sounds similar to German, Old Norse,and Old Frisian.C)It was spoken and written from about1150 to about 1500.D)The Canterbury Tales is an example ofMiddle English literature.4.What are some influences on the evolution of Modern English?A)The Renaissance, the IndustrialRevolution, and technological advancementsB)The Canterbury Tales, the IndustrialRevolution, and the RenaissanceC)Technological advancements, theRenaissance, and the Industrial RevolutionD)Technological advancements, theIndustrial Revolution, and the Canterbury Tales5.Which of the following is true about the English language?A)It has remained unchanged for centuries.B)It is derived from Old Frisian.C)It was influenced by the Renaissance andthe Industrial Revolution.D)It has had no significant influencesthroughout its history.Passage 2Questions 6-10Read the following passage and answer the questions.The human brain is a remarkable organ. It is responsible for all our thoughts, feelings, and actions. But how does the brain work? And what can go wrong when it doesn’t work properly?The brain is made up of billions of specialized cells called neurons. These neurons communicate with each other through electrical signals and chemicals called neurotransmitters. When everything is functioning correctly, this communication allows us to think, learn, and perform complex tasks. However, when something disrupts this communication, it can lead to neurological disorders.One example of a neurological disorder is epilepsy.
