The price tag with an astronomical figure (天文数字) on it was still attached."Jane 2 this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She seldom wore it. She was saving it for a(n) 3 occasion," my brother-in-law said.Together with the other 4 he gave that dress to the mortician(殡葬业者). Then he said to me, "Don't ever save anything for a special 5 . Every day you're 6 is a special occasion."I remembered those words through the funeral for my sister's unexpected 7 and the days that followed. Now I am spending 8 time with my family and friends; I'm not "saving" anything. "Someday" and "one of these days" are 9 from my vocabulary. If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now.It's those little things left 10 that would make me angry if I knew that my hours were limited.

I was somewhat puzzled 16 someone like him would be searching through rubbish. 17 (find) this a little confusing, I asked him, "what are you searching for?" he replied very simply that he 18 (look) for money.After a conversation with him, I found out 19 (late) that he had become homeless after getting laid off from his job. Since then, he had been working 20 part-time jobs in a doctor's office and in a food bank to earn some money. But he made so little that he lost heart. The man seemed fairly talented, 21 he was a little dirty.I told him that our thoughts create our 22 (real), and I suggested that he not give up and think in a positive way. During the whole talk, I stressed that he was young and 23 anything was possible. Although he didn't respond on the spot, 24 sense told me that what I said seemed to have 25 impact on him.第二部分：阅读(共两小节，满分50分)第一节：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)ACoffee is under threat from climate change, according to a study which found that popular Arabica could face extinction within decades.Rising global temperatures and gradual changes in seasonal conditions could make 99.7 percent of Arabica-growing areas unsuitable for the plant by 2080, according to a new study by researchers from Kew Gardens.Identifying new places where Arabica could be grown away from its natural home in the mountains of South Sudan could be the only way of preventing the extinction of the species, researchers said.Arabica is one of the only two species of beans used to make coffee and is by far the most popular, accounting for 70 percent of the global market including almost all fresh coffee sold in the US and Europe.A different bean known as Robusta, native to Vietnam, is used in freeze-dried coffee and is commonly drunk in Greece and Turkey, but its high caffeine (咖啡因) content makes it much less pleasant to most drinkers.The new study, published in the PLOS ONE journal, used computer modeling to predict the survival prospect of Arabica for the first time.Aaron Davis, head of coffee research at the Royal Botanic Gardens, said: "Arabica can only exist at a very specific pace with a very specific number of other variables(变量)." Global warming happens so fast that the farmers would have to move their plantations(种植园) every decade to survive, he added.The researchers said their prediction were "conservative" because they didn't take into consideration the widespread forest destruction taking place in the forests where the beans are grown, or other factors such as a drop in the number of birds which spread seeds. Even if the beans do not disappear completely from the wild, climate change is highly likely to have a great effect on production and the taste of coffee beans in future decades, they added.26. According to the study, most part of Arabica-growing areas will be unsuitable for the plant within ________.A. about 3 decadesB. about 7 decadesC. about 10 decadesD. about 15 decades27. Arabica is native to ____________.A. VietnamB. the USAC. GreeceD. South Sudan28. We can infer from the passage that ____________.A. the majority of people drink coffee made by RobustaB. Robusta makes up half of the global coffee marketC. all fresh coffee is made by ArabicaD. Arabica is not high in caffeine29. Climate change may affect Arabica in the following ways EXCEPT ____________.A. the color of coffee beansB. its survivalC. its outputD. the taste of coffee beans30. In the last paragraph, the author suggests that __________.A. Arabica won't disappear completely from the wildB. Arabica could die out later than the predictionC. Arabica could die out earlier than the predictionD. deforestation in the forests makes no difference to the growth of ArabicaBCan you think your way to wealth and success? Napoleon Hill believed that if you think the right thoughts you can. In 1937, after many years of researching financial success and observing people who had become rich, he published the book Think and Grow Rich. Even though it was published in the middle of the Great Depression, it was immediately successful.It is one of the most popular non-fiction books ever written. Forbes says it has sold seventy million copies since it first appeared, and continues to sell copies today. Napoleon Hill wrote at least ten other books about success before his death in 1970. But none of them came close to selling as many copies as Think and Grow Rich.Smarter Comics has released an illustrated version of the book. Franco Arda is the company's founder and publisher. He used to work as an investment banker. He started the company three years ago with his own money. He wanted to create picture books that increase understanding. His versions provide much of the information that is in full-length books but in a form easy to understand for teenagers.Franco Arda says readers will understand and remember more about gaining success if they read the comic(连环漫画) book style --- first, it's easier to read; second, it's also easier to remember. Because once you see something visually, your brain can absorb it much quicker and then you can keep it much longer." He first read the book when he was a teenager. He owes muchof his financial success to the book and it taught him to change the way he thinks about money and success.Franco Arda says Napoleon Hill found that you must write down what you want to achieve, how and when you want to achieve it and what you are willing to sacrifice for it.Napoleon Hill said you must read that statement out loud every morning when you wake up and every evening before you go to sleep.He also says the book proves that wealth is a lifelong pursuit achieved by believing in the value of personal ideas. It says anyone can achieve their dreams by refusing to be stopped by temporary problems.31. What is the book published by Franco Arda mainly featured?A. it has more nice pictures than theories.B. It tells readers to write down what they read.C. It is easier for us to read and remember the content.D. It requires readers to read the book loud every morning.32. How has Napoleon Hill's book influenced Franco Arda?A. He has gained many different opinions about life.B. He has formed a habit of sacrificing something for his dream.C. He has refused to be stopped by temporary problems.D. He has had a good attitude towards money and success.33. Franco Arda's newly published book is mainly intended for ________.A. womenB. teenagersC. adultsD. businessmen34. From the passage, we can conclude that the book Think and Grow Rich _________.A. is the most popular book since it was publishedB. has guided so many people how they can be popularC. has inspired so many people to achieve fame and fortuneD. becomes more popular nowadays than when it was published35. What is the purpose of the author's writing this passage?A. To report the sale of Napoleon Hill's book.B. To introduce the present economic situation.C. To advertise Franco Arda's newly published book.D. To introduce the influence of Napoleon Hill's book.CAre you sick of travelling back and forth between airports? Exhausted by the search for airport parking? Tired of trying to find ground transportation at your destination? A flying car may be just what you need.While the concept of flying cars has been around for decades, the cars themselves have never really caught on. Now, the Massachusetts-based company Terrafugia is changing that.The company recently received attention from around the world with the introduction of the Transition. A true hybrid (混合物), the Transition combines the abilities of an automobile with those of a small aircraft. However, the Transition doesn't require users to drive an airplane down the street. Instead, it can be transformed from aircraft to road mode in less than 30 seconds. By entering a PIN number, pilots can make the wings fold against the sides of the vehicle. Power then moves from the propeller (螺旋桨) to the front wheels. Drivers who wish to fly simply contrarily conduct the process before taking off.One look at the Transition tells you that it really is an airplane. In fact, Terrafugia doesn't call the Transition a "flying car" at all. Instead, the company uses the term "roadable aircraft". Like other airplanes, the Transition has wings, a tail and a propeller. It is powered by an aircraft engine and has a parachute (降落伞). More importantly, you need a pilot's license to fly it. Still, it is also a car. Like other cars, it has a steering wheel (方向盘), four wheels and crash protection. It runs on normal auto gasoline, and you can't drive it unless you have a driver's license.With an expected price of $194, 000 and seating limited to two, the Transition won't replace airlines or family cars in a short term. But it does provide a whole new range of travel choices.Transition drivers will no longer be limited to land. Moreover, if the weather prevents a flight, Transition pilots can always just drive on the road.36. What's the author's purpose in raising questions in the first paragraph?A. To remind readers to avoid travelling by air.B. To blame the service of certain airports.C. To draw readers' attention to the topic.D. To compare airplanes and cars.37. The underlined phrase "caught on" in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by “_______”.A. become popularB. sold wellC. got usefulD. taken off38. By using the term "roadable aircraft" instead of "flying car", Terrafugia stresses the Transition _______.A. is more suitable for the roadB. is more comfortable than carsC. has nothing to do with carsD. is more similar to an airplane39. From the passage, we know that _________.A. Terrafugia is the first company focusing on flying carsB. a usual car driver needs a pilot's license to fly the TransitionC. the Transition is safer than usual cars because of its crash protectionD. at present, no airlines or families are willing to buy the Transition40. If this passage came from a newspaper, in which column should it be?A. Education.B. Entertainment.C. Technology.D. Business.DPopcorn (爆米花) machines have been around for more than 4,000 years. When an ancient culture in New Mexico discovered that a certain type of corn would "pop" when it was heated, they immediately designed the world's earliest version of the popcorn machine. They would heat fine sand in the fire and add the kernels (谷粒) into the sand to make them pop.Other cultures of the time made a game of popping popcorn. They would heat stones on the fire as hot as they could and pour the seeds onto it. The people of the village would then gather around the stones and catch the grains as they popped and flew into the air.Eventually, the snack quickly became an important part of several cultures. Many 4th century Mexican cultures would include popcorn kernels inside their tombs as an offering to the spirits in order to obtain a secure passage to the next life. Native American tribes that appeared years later believed that spirits lived inside the kernels. They thought that the kernels popped when the extreme heat anger the spirits.In 1885, Charles Cretors designed and created the first modem popcorn machines in Chicago, Illinois. Mr. Cretors owned a sweet shop and had purchased a peanut roasting machine that didn't work as well as it should have. He soon improved the machine and began selling his products in and around the area via travelling salesmen as well as through his store. Eight years later, he attended the Chicago Columbian Exposition with his new machine and history was born.Popcorn machines experienced widespread growth during the 1900s. With prices ranging between $400 and $1,300, these machines sold like hot cakes until the Great Depression caused Mr. Cretors' company to stop operations in 1934.Today, popcorn machines look nothing like their earlier machines. They are available in almost any size and create many different flavors and varieties of popcorn.41. Ancient New Mexicans got popcorn by ________.A. throwing kernels into the fireB. using a kind of machineC. putting kernels into heated sandD. placing kernels onto hot stones42. Mexicans once had popcorn kernels inside their tombs toA. keep the tombs dry and cleanB. anger the spirits living inside the kernelsC. scare away the evil spirits undergroundD. make sure of going to their next life safely43. We can learn from the passage that Charles Cretors __________.A. traveled around to promote his inventionB. opened a store to sell his popcorn machinesC. was awarded for his invention of popcorn machinesD. made the first modem popcorn machine out of an old machine44. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?A. The nutritional value of popcorn.B. Kinds of games related to popcorn.C. The development of popcorn machines.D. The competition in the popcorn machine market.45. The best title for the passage might be _________.A. Popcorn and Ancient CulturesB. Popcorn --- a Lost Art RediscoveredC. History of Popcorn MachinesD. Charles Cretors and Popcorn Machine第二节：信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列选修课及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

But when we plant non-native plants,we are clobbering the food chain,because then we don‟t have the insects the birds need to live.”Fewer of the right plants mean fewer bugs,and fewer bugs mean fewer birds.And that‟s bad for the Earth,because we need a variety of living things to keep the planet healthy and beautiful.The good news is,garden centers sell native plants.“Just Google …native plants‟and your location,and you can find out which plants really belong where you live,”says Tallamy26.How did green invades arrive at America?A.They fell down from space.B.They floated to the America‟s shores.C.They were brought in from foreign countriesD.They has lived here since human settlers arrived27.According to Dr.Tallamy,which of the followings about the insects in the US is NOT true?A.Almost all the plant-eating insects in a place eat certain plants.B.Monarch butterfly caterpillars can‟t survive without milkweed.C.If insec ts can‟t eat the right plants,they will find another one.D.The insects‟ death will greatly affect the migrating birds‟survival28.The underlined word“clobber”in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _________.A.protectB.damageC.createD.collect29.We can know whether a plant is native by _________.A.Googling on the InternetB.asking Dr.Doug TallamyC.looking up in booksD.searching in garden30.What is the best title of the pass age?A.Green invaders——local living thingsB.Green invaders——dangerous food chainC.Green invaders——environmental protectorsD.Green invades——threat to local natureBIn Western countries people have been using the installment plan since the first half of the twentieth century.Today,a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture,household goods and cars by installments.In the U.S.,the figure is much higher than in Great Britain,and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan.The price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash.There is a charge for interest.The buyers pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment when the goods are delivered to him.He then makes regular payments,weekly or monthly,until the full price is paid up.The legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made.Installment buying has advantages and disadvantages.It can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping,It increases the demand for goods,and in this way helps business and employment. There is ,however,the danger that when business is bad,installment buying may end suddenly,making business much worse.This may result in a great increase in unemployment.If the people on the installment plan lose their jobs,they will probably not be able to make their payments.If great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money.If businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit,it becomes more likely to have a depression.This is why,in some countries,the government controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan.31.Which of the following is true about the installment plan?A.British families just use the installment plan to buy furniture.B.More than 10 precent American families buy things on installment.C.Americans spend more on installment buying than British people do.D.The payment of installment buying is easier than buying by cash.32.Goods bought on installments are more expensive than goods bought by cash because_________.A.the buyer has to pay extra money as interestB.the delivery of the goods charges extra moneyC.the buyer has to pay a down paymentD.The service offered by installment plan charged extra money33.What will happen to a buyer if he fails to make the full payment for an itembought on installments?A.He might lose his jobB.He will stop owning the item he has boughtC.He will have to sell what he has boughtD.He will go into debt34.The advantages of installment buying might include all the followings EXCEPT that _________.A.purchasing power is strengthenedB.Employment might be increasedC.People develop a good habit of saving moneyD.Young couples are able to furnish their homes35.In some countries,the government controls the installment plan to_________.A.increase employmentB.avoid depressionsC.ensure that businesses make good profitsD.ensure that people can pay for what they buyCThe first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn‟t know.I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.I turned around to find a wrinkled,little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.She said,“Hi,girl!My name is Rose.I‟m 87 years old.Can give you a hug?”I laughed and enthusiastically responded,“Of course you may!“and she gave mea giant squeeze.“Why are you in college at such a young,innocent age ?”I asked.She jokingly replied,“I‟m here to meet a rich husband,get married,have a couple of children,and hen retire and travel!”“No seriously“I said.I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I‟m getting one!”“she told me.Over the course of the year,Rose because a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went .She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students.She was living it up.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet.I‟ll never forget what she taught us.“We do not stop playing because we are old“;we grow old because we stop playing.There are only two secrets to staying young,being happy,and achieving success/You have to laugh and find humor everyday.Your‟ve got to have a dream.When you lose your dreams,you di e!”she said.“The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change.”Have no regrets.The elderly usually don;t have regrets for what we did,but rather for things we did not do.The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”She conclud ed her speech by courageously singing “The Song of Rose”.She challenged each of us study the lyrics(歌词)and live them out in our daily lives.At the year‟s end,Rose finished the college degree she had

Does CountD.Challenge YourselfDBeing sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life.Relationships with family,friends,neighbours,even pets,will all do the trick,but the biggest longevity(长寿)boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect wasfirst noted in 1858 by William Farr,who who wrote that widows and widowers（鳏夫）were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers.Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man‟s life and two to a woman‟s.The effect holds for all causes of death,whether illness,a ccident or self-harm.Even if the odds are stacked against you(the conditions are not favourable),marriage can more than compensate.Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart.Likewise,a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn‟t smoke.There‟s a flip side,however,as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse;s death,and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems.Even so,the odds favour marriage.In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people,Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.So how does it work?The effects are complex,affected by socio-economic factors,health-service provision,emotional support and other more physiological mechanisms(机制).For example,social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system,leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life.People in supportive relationships may handle stress better.Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.A life partner,children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100.The best social network is still being mapped out,but Christakis says:”People are interconnected,so their healt h is interconnected.”41.William Farr’s study and other studies show that________.A.social life provides an effective cure for illnessB.Being sociable helps improve one‟s quality of lifeC.Women benefit more than men from marriageD.Marriage contributes a great deal to longevity42.Linda Waite’s studies support the idea that________.A.older men should quit smoking to stay healthyB.Marriage can help make up for ill healthC.The married are happier than the unmarriedD.Unmarried people are likely to suffer in later life43.It can be inferred from the context that the “flip side”(Line5,Para2)refers to________.A.the disadvantages of being marriedB.The emotional problems arising from marriageC.The responsibility of taking care of one‟s familyD.The consequence of a broken marriage44.What does the author say about social networks?A.They have effects similar to those of a marriage.B.They help develop people‟s community spirit.C.They provide timely support for those in need.D.They help relieve people of their life‟s burden45.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.It‟s important that we develop a social network when young.B.To stay healthy,one should have a proper social network.C.Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.D.We should share our social networks with each other.下面是几位需要服务的网民，请为他们选择他们所需要的项目46.I sent my 27-month-old boy to a kindergarten,hoping he can learn to be more independent than at home,However,the unclean food offered in the kindergarten madehim ill.

• It’s the same in our life. Faced with various tasks in the life, some people tend to lose their patience with it. They always fail to hang on a little longer and keep trying, which finally leads to failure. What they should do is to try to devote more time and energy to the task and try to accomplish it patiently. Only in this way can they finally achieve success. • In a word, whatever tasks we are facing, we should always keep in mind that patience is key to success.

Look, Jim! I think the picture wants to tell us that we shouldn’t work blindly without considering how much we actually gain. Just as is shown in the picture, the boy is busy picking apples from a tree. Obviously, he will lose most of the apples from the hole in the basket because he doesn’t realize that the basket is broken. If he checks his basket before picking apples blindly, he will take notice of the hole and change it for a new one . Thus he will get more apples .
2013汕头二模英语试题阅读理解4篇文章原文及译文
汕头市2013年普通高中高三教学质量测评试题（二）英语阅读理解原文4篇及中文译文AGreen invaders are taking over America. Nope, not invaders from space. Plants. You might not think of plants as dangerous, but in this case they are threatening nature's delicate food web.The invaders are plants from other countries brought here to make gardens and yards look pretty. Ever since people started to arrive on America's shores, they've carried along trees, flowers, and vegetables from other places.Now there are so many of those plants, they are crowding out the native plants that have lived here since before human settlers arrived.And that's a problem, says Dr. Doug Tallamy. He's an entomologist (an insect expert) at the University of Delaware. He explains that almost all the plant-eating insects in the United States—90% of them—are specialized. That means they eat only certain plants.Pretty orange and black monarch butterflies, for example, can only dine on one plant: milkweed. If people cut down milkweed and replace it with something else, the butterflies starve, because their bodies cannot accept any other food.But the trouble doesn't stop there, it goes right across the food web. When insects can't get the right plants to eat and they die off, then the birds don't have enough bugs for their meals. Tallamy points out that almost all migrating birds depend on insects to feed their young."We cannot let the plants and animals around us disappear, " says Tallamy. "The way to preserve them is to give them food to eat. But when we plant non-native plants, we are clobbering the food web, because then we don't have the insects the birds need to live."Fewer of the right plants mean fewer bugs, and fewer bugs mean fewer birds.And that's bad for the Earth, because we need a variety of living things to keep the planet healthy and beautiful.The good news is, gardeners everywhere are working hard to protect native plants and get rid of the invaders. Many local garden centers sell native plants."Just Google 'native plants' and your location, and you can find out which plants really belong where you live, " says Tallamy.Planting the right things makes a real difference, and fast. He describes planting milkweed in a tiny city courtyard about the size of a living room one spring. By summertime, that milkweed patch had produced 50 new monarch butterflies!Tallamy encourages kids to go out and plant native plants. "Adopt a bird species in trouble and see if you can plant some things that will attract the insects they need, " he suggests. "It will happen—insects move around a lot, and they will find the plants you put out there for them!"外来绿色植物的入侵者正在超过美国的人口数量。

I was somewhat puzzled 16 someone like him would be searching through rubbish. 17 (find) this a little confusing, I asked him, "what are you searching for?" he replied very simply that he 18 (look) for money.After a conversation with him, I found out 19 (late) that he had become homeless after getting laid off from his job. Since then, he had been working 20 part-time jobs in a doctor's office and in a food bank to earn some money. But he made so little that he lost heart. The man seemed fairly talented, 21 he was a little dirty.I told him that our thoughts create our 22 (real), and I suggested that he not give up and think in a positive way. During the whole talk, I stressed that he was young and 23 anything was possible. Although he didn't respond on the spot, 24 sense told me that what I said seemed to have 25 impact on him.第二部分：阅读(共两小节，满分50分)第一节：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)ACoffee is under threat from climate change, according to a study which found that popular Arabica could face extinction within decades.Rising global temperatures and gradual changes in seasonal conditions could make 99.7 percent of Arabica-growing areas unsuitable for the plant by 2080, according to a new study by researchers from Kew Gardens.Identifying new places where Arabica could be grown away from its natural home in the mountains of South Sudan could be the only way of preventing the extinction of the species, researchers said.Arabica is one of the only two species of beans used to make coffee and is by far the most popular, accounting for70 percent of the global market including almost all fresh coffee sold in t he US and Europe.A different bean known as Robusta, native to Vietnam, is used in freeze-dried coffee and is commonly drunk in Greece and Turkey, but its high caffeine (咖啡因) content makes it much less pleasant to most drinkers.The new study, published in the PLOS ONE journal, used computer modeling to predict the survival prospect of Arabica for the first time.Aaron Davis, head of coffee research at the Royal Botanic Gardens, said: "Arabica can only exist at a very specific pace with a very specific number of other variables(变量)." Global warming happens so fast that the farmers would have to move their plantations(种植园) every decade to survive, he added.The researchers said their prediction were "conservative" because they didn't take into consideration the widespread forest destruction taking place in the forests where the beans are grown, or other factors such as a drop in the number of birds which spread seeds. Even if the beans do not disappear completely from the wild, climate change is highly likely to have a great effect on production and the taste of coffee beans in future decades, they added.26. According to the study, most part of Arabica-growing areas will be unsuitable for the plant within ____.A. about 3 decadesB. about 7 decadesC. about 10 decadesD. about 15 decades27. Arabica is native to ____.A. VietnamB. the USAC. GreeceD. South Sudan28. We can infer from the passage that ____.A. the majority of people drink coffee made by RobustaB. Robusta makes up half of the global coffee marketC. all fresh coffee is made by ArabicaD. Arabica is not high in caffeine29. Climate change may affect Arabica in the following ways EXCEPT ____.A. the color of coffee beansB. its survivalC. its outputD. the taste of coffee beans30. In the last paragraph, the author suggests that __.A. Arabica won't disappear completely from the wildB. Arabica could die out later than the predictionC. Arabica could die out earlier than the predictionD. deforestation in the forests makes no difference to the growth of ArabicaBCan you think your way to wealth and success? Napoleon Hill believed that if you think the right thoughts you can. In 1937, after many years of researching financial success and observing people who had become rich, hepublished the book Think and Grow Rich. Even though it was published in the middle of the Great Depression, it was immediately successful.It is one of the most popular non-fiction books ever written. Forbes says it has sold seventy million copies since it first appeared, and continues to sell copies today. Napoleon Hill wrote at least ten other books about success before his death in 1970. But none of them came close to selling as many copies as Think and Grow Rich. Smarter Comics has released an illustrated version of the book. Franco Arda is the company's founder and publisher. He used to work as an investment banker. He started the company three years ago with his own money. He wanted to create picture books that increase understanding. His versions provide much of the information that is in full-length books but in a form easy to understand for teenagers.Franco Arda says readers will understand and remember more about gaining success if they read the comic(连环漫画) book style --- first, it's easier to read; second, it's also easier to remember. Because once you see something visually, your brain can absorb it much quicker and then you can keep it much longer." He first read the book when he was a teenager. He owes much of his financial success to the book and it taught him to change the way he thinks about money and success.Franco Arda says Napoleon Hill found that you must write down what you want to achieve, how and when you want to achieve it and what you are willing to sacrifice for it.Napoleon Hill said you must read that statement out loud every morning when you wake up and every evening before you go to sleep.He also says the book proves that wealth is a lifelong pursuit achieved by believing in the value of personal ideas. It says anyone can achieve their dreams by refusing to be stopped by temporary problems.31. What is the book published by Franco Arda mainly featured?A. it has more nice pictures than theories.B. It tells readers to write down what they read.C. It is easier for us to read and remember the content.D. It requires readers to read the book loud every morning.32. How has Napoleon Hill's book influenced Franco Arda?A. He has gained many different opinions about life.B. He has formed a habit of sacrificing something for his dream.C. He has refused to be stopped by temporary problems.D. He has had a good attitude towards money and success.33. Franco Arda's newly published book is mainly intended for ____.A. womenB. teenagersC. adultsD. businessmen34. From the passage, we can conclude that the book Think and Grow Rich _.A. is the most popular book since it was publishedB. has guided so many people how they can be popularC. has inspired so many people to achieve fame and fortuneD. becomes more popular nowadays than when it was published35. What is the purpose of the author's writing this passage?A. To report the sale of Napoleon Hill's book.B. To introduce the present economic situation.C. To ad vertise Franco Arda's newly published book.D. To introduce the influence of Napoleon Hill's book.CAre you sick of travelling back and forth between airports? Exhausted by the search for airport parking? Tired of trying to find ground transportation at your destination? A flying car may be just what you need.While the concept of flying cars has been around for decades, the cars themselves have never really caught on.Now, the Massachusetts-based company Terrafugia is changing that.The company recently received attention from around the world with the introduction of the Transition. A true hybrid (混合物), the Transition combines the abilities of an automobile with those of a small aircraft. However, the Transition doesn't require users to drive an airplane down the street. Instead, it can be transformed from aircraft to road mode in less than 30 seconds. By entering a PIN number, pilots can make the wings fold against the sides of the vehicle. Power then moves from the propeller (螺旋桨) to the front wheels. Drivers who wish to fly simply contrarily conduct the process before taking off.One look at the Transition tells you that it really is an airplane. In fact, Terrafugia doesn't call the Transition a "flying car" at all. Instead, the company uses the term "roadable aircraft". Like other airplanes, the Transition has wings, a tail and a propeller. It is powered by an aircraft engine and has a parachute (降落伞). More importantly, you need a pilot's license to fly it. Still, it is also a car. Like other cars, it has a steering wheel (方向盘), four wheels and crash protection. It runs on normal auto gasoline, and you can't drive it unless you have a driver's license.With an expected price of $194, 000 and seating limited to two, the Transition won't replace airlines or family cars in a short term. But it does provide a whole new range of travel choices.Transition drivers will no longer be limited to land. Moreover, if the weather prevents a flight, Transition pilots can always just drive on the road.36. What's the author's purpose in raising questions in the first paragraph?A. To remind readers to avoid travelling by air.B. To blame the service of certain airports.C. To draw readers' attention to the topic.D. To compare airplanes and cars.37. The underlined phrase "caught on" in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by “___”.A. become popularB. sold wellC. got usefulD. taken off38. By using the term "roadable aircraft" instead of "flying car", Terrafugia stresses the Transition ___.A. is more suitable for the roadB. is more comfortable than carsC. has nothing to do with carsD. is more similar to an airplane39. From the passage, we know that _.A. Terrafugia is the fir st company focusing on flying carsB. a usual car driver needs a pilot's license to fly the TransitionC. the Transition is safer than usual cars because of its crash protect ionD. at present, no airlines or families are willing to buy the Transition40. If this passage came from a newspaper, in which column should it be?A. Education.B. Entertainment.C. Technology.D. Business.DPopcorn (爆米花) machines have been around for more than 4,000 years. When an ancient culture in New Mexico discovered that a certain type of corn would "pop" when it was heated, they immediately designed the world's earliest version of the popcorn machine. They would heat fine sand in the fire and add the kernels (谷粒) into the sand to make them pop.Other cultures of the time made a game of popping popcorn. They would heat stones on the fire as hot as they could and pour the seeds onto it. The people of the village would then gather around the stones and catch the grains as they popped and flew into the air.Eventually, the snack quickly became an important part of several cultures. Many 4th century Mexican cultures would include popcorn kernels inside their tombs as an offering to the spirits in order to obtain a secure passage to the next life. Native American tribes that appeared years later believed that spirits lived inside the kernels. They thought that the kernels popped when the extreme heat anger the spirits.In 1885, Charles Cretors designed and created the first modem popcorn machines in Chicago, Illinois. Mr. Cretors owned a sweet shop and had purchased a peanut roasting machine that didn't work as well as it should have. Hesoon improved the machine and began selling his products in and around the area via travelling salesmen as well as through his store. Eight years later, he attended the Chicago Columbian Exposition with his new machine and history was born.Popcorn machines experienced widespread growth during the 1900s. With prices ranging between $400 and $1,300, these machines sold like hot cakes until the Great Depression caused Mr. Cretors' company to stop operations in 1934.Today, popcorn machines look nothing like their earlier machines. They are available in almost any size and create many different flavors and varieties of popcorn.41. Ancient New Mexicans got popcorn by ____.A. throwing kernels into the fireB. using a kind of machineC. putting kernels into heated sandD. placing kernels onto hot stones42. Mexicans once had popcorn kernels inside their tombs toA. keep the tombs dry and cleanB. anger the spirits living inside the kernelsC. scare away the evil spirits undergroundD. make sure of going to their next life safely43. We can learn from the passage that Charles Cretors __.A. traveled around to promote his inventionB. opened a store to sell his popcorn machinesC. was awarded for his invention of popcorn machinesD. made the first modem popcorn machine out of an old machine44. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?A. The nutritional value of popcorn.B. Kinds of games related to popcorn.C. The development of popcorn machines.D. The competition in the popcorn machine market.45. The best title for the passage might be _.A. Popcorn and Ancient CulturesB. Popcorn --- a Lost Art RediscoveredC. History of Popcorn MachinesD. Charles Cretors and Popcorn Machine第二节：信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列选修课及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

A harmonious family is always full of warmth, love and laughter in which parents and children not only show concern for each other but also respect and understand each other. If a child grows up in a harmonious family , he is more likely to be cheerful and optimistic. Meanwhile, parents in a harmonious family are sure to live happily and more healthily. To create such a harmonious family parents should be rulemodels for their children in words and behavior and often communicate with them. As children of the family, we should show understanding for our parents’hardship, and try to share their burdens by doing housework voluntarily and so on. If you do so, our home will always be harmonious.第二节读写任务参考范文When the author, an oversea student, was badly ill, a shopkeeper made him a sandwich and offered hot soup.

My dad had a serious heart condition many years ago and it was impossible for him to work at a(n) 1 job because he would be fine for quite a while, but then fall 2 ill and have to receive 3 in the hospital. In order to keep himself busy, he decided to 4 at the local children’s hospital. It was 5 work for him as he loved kids. He ended up working with the seriously ill children, talking, playing and doing 6 with them.One of his kids was a girl eight or nine years who had been diagnosed with a 7 disease that paralyzed(使瘫痪) her from the 8 down. She was very depressed.My dad started visiting her in her room with 9 tools. He stood the paper up against a backing, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint without using his hands. All the while he would tell her, see, you can do anything you set your 10 to.11 , the little girl began to paint using her mouth. Soon after that, she left because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left his voluntary work temporarily because he became ill.Sometime later after my dad had partly 12 and returned to work in the hospital, the little girl came one day. She walked straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she drew, differently this time, using her 13 . At the bottom it read “Thank you for helping me 14 again.”My dad would cry every time he told us this story. He would say sometimes love is more15 than doctors, and my dad -– who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture –- did bring the girl back on her feet with his love and care.1.
