绝密★启用前吉林一中2013--2014学年度上学期高二期中考试英语测试试卷考试范围:xxx ;考试时间:100分钟;命题人:xxx注意事项:1.答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息 2.请将答案正确填写在答题卡上第I 卷(选择题)请修改第I 卷的文字说明 一、补全短文1. _1__.If you give and give without making time to fill your own need s, then it’s likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. __2__I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are :kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through youractions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.__3__.These could be companionship, achievement, and support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. _4__.If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be ---this is the key to personal power.When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce your chosen beliefs. ___5___.A.Young people have a different set of values.B.You feel that you have a responsibility to help them.C.Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy.D.Your being values are the character traits (特征,特点)of the ideal person you would like to be.E. You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving.F. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate, or set a time limit before responding.G. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world , and in turn the way other people think of you.2. Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you aren't sure, you are far from alone in your confusion. It turns out that even brilliant, highly accomplished people are pretty lousy when it comes to understanding why they succeed or fail. The intuitive answer — that you are born predisposed to certain talents and lacking in others — is really just one small piece of the puzzle. In fact, decades of research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more often because of what they do. 11. Get specific. When you set yourself a goal, try to be as specific as possible. "Lose 5 pounds" is a better goal than "lose some weight," because it gives you a clear idea of what success looks like.2 Also, think about the specific actions that need to be taken to reach your goal.2. 3Given how busy most of us are, and how many goals we are juggling at once, it's not surprising that we routinely miss opportunities to act on a goal because we simply fail to notice them. Did you really have no time to work out today? No chance at any point to return that phone call? Achieving your goal means grabbing hold of these opportunities before they slip through your fingers.3. Know exactly how far you have left to go.Achieving any goal also requires honest and regular monitoring of your progress — if not by others, then by you yourself. If you don't know how well you are doing, you can't adjust your behavior or your strategies accordingly.4It is my hope that, after reading about the nine things successful people do differently, you have gained some insight into all the things you have been doing right all along. Remember:5. It's never what you are, but what you do.Wait for opportunities to appearSeize the moment to act on your goalsHere are things successful people do differentlyNext I’ll talk about my own experience on how to achieve successYou don’t need to become a different person to become a more successful oneCheck your progress frequently-weekly, or even daily, depending on the goalKnowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get there第II卷(非选择题)请修改第II卷的文字说明二、单项选择3. --Who should be responsible for the accident?--The boss,not the workers.They just carried out the order___________.A.as toldB.as are toldC.as tellingD.as they told4.

People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 1 problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error. 2 , when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six 3 in analyzing a problem.4 the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bic ycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must5 that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the person must find the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must 6 the parts that are wrong.Now the person must look for 7 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 8 solutions. For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. 9 ,he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 10 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.After 11 the problem, the person should have 12 suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 13 ,his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.In the end, one 14 seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the 15 idea comes quite 16 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 17 way.

One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime (一角银币) left. He was hungry so he decided to 1 for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. 2 ameal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked 3 so she brought him a large gl ass of milk.

They are long cloths on which pictures of horses and scriptures(经文)are printed. People often put these flags on top of houses, or leave them where a vehicle accident happened. They prevent evil spirits from injuring people again.A wind-horse flag can be white, yellow, red, green or blue. These five colors symbolize the five elements that form the world; earth, water, fire, wind and sky. Another explanations that red is the sun, green is the grassland, yellow is the earth, blue is the sky, and white is the cloud.The wind-horse flag originated with a monk who obtained a scripture from India. When he crossed a river, he carelessly dropped the scripture into the water. He quickly saved the scripture and spread it out on a big rock to dry as he sat in meditation(默想). Suddenly violent thunder sounded like drums. The monk felt liberated(解放的)from all of his sadness, and when he opened his eyes he saw that the scripture had been blown into the sky by a strong wind.Finally, he went straight to heaven.In order to honor the spirit of the monk and the Buddhist scripture, people printed the scripture on a piece of cloth and hung it up between the sky and the earth as though the scripture was flying in the sky.We also know why people put the wind-horse flag on the top of mountains and houses. The Tibetan ancestors had a very great idea about chanting scripture. They thought people not only could chant scripture, but also the five elements. The wind-home flag is a good example of how they use the wind to blow the flag, which means that the wind also chants scripture.1. The second paragraph is mainly about the wind-horse flag’s ________.A. colorsB. stylesC. materialsD. functions2. What happened when the monk meditated?A. He felt very sad about his mistake.B. The scripture was blown into the sky.C. He was punished by the gods.D. Many wind-house flags were flying.3. According to the passage, the origin of the wind-horse flag is based on ________.A. a historical eventB. an ancient customC. a religious taleD. a vehicle accident4. Why do people put wind-horse flags on the top of mountains and houses?A. The wind-house flags are safer there.B. The wind-house flags can be nearer to the sky.C. People can see the wind-house flags more clearly.D. People believe the wind can also chant scripture.26. Researchers have identified an area in the brain that alerts us in less than a second to an upcoming mist ake so we don’t repeat it.Scientists have long known that mistakes are conducive to learning, suggesting the reason lies in our feeling of surprise which happens as soon as we find out we are wrong. But how the brain manages to learn from mistakes and how quickly it does so have been unknown.―It’s a bit of a cliché (陈词滥调) to say that we learn more from our mistakes than our successes,‖ said lead author of the study Andy Wills, a psychologist a t the University of Exeter, ―but for the first time we’ve found just how quickly the brain works to help us avoid repeating errors.‖The scientists monitored the brain activity of a group of volunteers as they made predictions based on information read on a computer screen. Then, they weregiven new information that made many of the predictions incorrect. The participants had to learn from the mistake in order to recognize the error next time around.The researchers measured activity in the lower region of the brain, near the temples(太阳穴), which is responsible for processing visual information. ―By monitoring activity in the brain as it occurs, we were able to identify the moment at which this mechanism comes into action,‖ Wills said. Activity increased immediately after the individual saw the new information appear on the computer screen — within 0.1 seconds — before there was time for any conscious consideration.Most previous research had focused on the brain’s frontal lobes (额叶), which are associated with complex thought processes, such as planning and conscious decision-making. This study, announced recently and published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, indicates the brain reacts to mistakes before information even gets processed consciously. The scientists call it an ―early warning signal‖ from a lower region of the brain.1. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Brain can quickly warn us of potential errors.B. Brain manages information in different ways.C. Study has found why people make mistakes.D. Study has proved any mistake can be avoided.2. The underlined word ―conducive‖ in Para. 2 probably means ―______‖.A. necessaryB. helpfulC. particularD. harmful3. According to the text, the frontal lobes ______.A. prevent us from making repeated mistakesB. oversee thought processes in the brainC. have nothing to do with making mistakesD. have something to do with processing conscious information4. It can be inferred from the text that one key to the study is ______.A. the volunteers’ brain is in good healthB. the mistake first impresses the volunteersC. many of the volunteers predict wronglyD. information is showed on a computer screen。

AAfter a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.21.The reason for Robert’s attempts to kill himself was that _________.A. a terrible traffic accident happened to himB. he had to live in a dark and silent worldC. he was struck by the lightning once moreD. nobody in the world cared about him22.What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?A.

He hardly ever wears a neck tie. “I am working harder than ever.” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.” “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative(保守的)dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale(心境,士气). Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”29.David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because ________.A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB. he couldn’t stand a clean app earanceC. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the timeD. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes30.David Smith wears casual clothes now, because__________.A. they make him feel at ease when workingB. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC. he looks handsome in casual clothesD. he no longer works for any company31.In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT __________.A. saving employees’ moneyB. making employees more attractiveC. impro ving employees’ motivationD. making employees happierDIn Los Angeles, drivers spend sixty-one hours every year stuck in traffic. These drivers know all too well how bad the traffic can be. “There're too many cars, and you can't move around a lot.”Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams. He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. He is always late even with the help of a navigation (导航) system.He decided to develop a program called ClearPath for that. He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house. “What’s unique is that we use a lot of data that’s currently become available including traffic data, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict what's going to happen in front of you when you leave home.”Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just respond to current traffic conditions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give the fastest route. It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahabi hopes to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities.“I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately use this. ”Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple.32.Drivers in Los Angeles were mentioned in order to__________.A. show care for themB. introduce their lifeC. solve traffic problemsD. raise the topic33.What is unique about ClearPath?A. It can use a lot of information all over the world.B. It can ensure that you will never be late for work.C. It helps drivers see clearly what happens on the road.D. It helps drivers know the road conditions ahead of time.34.The underlined word “hits” in the fifth paragraph probably means __________.A. have an accidentB. get toC. turn left or rightD. collect traffic data35.What's Professor Shahabi’s attitude toward his invention?A. Disappointed.B. Proud.C. Optimistic.D. Worried.第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分,满分10分)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。

I was really honoured to be one of the students sent to South Korea to improve the relation between our city, Zibo, and our sister city—Gwangju (光州) City. When my teacher told me that I was chosen, I was happy and surprised and an image of the country appeared in my dreams several times. Also, many 1 ran through my mind, such as how would we communicate?2 I saw the friendly faces of our South Korean partners waiting outside the hotel, all my questions floated off to the Pacific Ocean. We3 a warm welcome organized by the government and settled into the Aria House Hotel.4 the next seven days, we visited many places, including Never Land, the biggest park in South Korea and the Seoul World Cup Stadium (汉城世界杯体育场).But what 5 me most was the experience I had in their school. The school was built on a hill, so we had a very wonderful 6 from the top. But I paid 7 attention to their classrooms. Obviously, the situation was 8 . In China, there are usually more than sixty students in one class but in Korea their classrooms had just thirty seats.As I went to the front of the class, something really 9 me. Was I in South Korea, one of the most developed countries in the world?I saw lots of 10 chalk, too small to be held, saved for 11 . In our country, 12 lots of children can’t receive education because of the lack of 13 , nobody ever uses the bits of chalk like t hat. I couldn’t 14 thinking about the clean roads, the neat paper money and the cars running on the roads in South Korea. It is the 15 that makes South Korea a strong country, something we lost for years.In South Korea, I saw many old buildings built in the 16 style. Moreover, the people were very interested in Chinese traditional culture. I saw many books written by Confucius and other Chinese philosophers. Also, learning Chinese is part of students’ curriculum.China has 5000 years’ splendid history and thousands of renowned scholars. Not only should we study our glorious (光荣的) 17 in class, but we must put it into 18 . 19 a civilized and developed country, I think it is necessary to 20 our culture back to life.1.

My first trip in the United StatesI still remember my first day in the U.S. very clearly. My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at threeo’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very 1 and it was snowing, but I was too excited to 2 _. From the airport, my friend and I 3 a taxi to my 4 . On the way I saw the skyline of Manhattan forthe 5 _time and I stared in surprise at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made 6 . Helping me unpack at the hotel, my friendleft and 7 to return the next day.8 my friend had left, I went to a 9 near the hotel to get something to eat. Since I couldn’t speak a single 10 of English,I couldn’t tell the 11 what I wanted. I was very upset and startedto make some 12, but he didn’t understand me. Finally, I orderedthe same thing the man at the next table was 13 . After dinner, Istarted to walk along Broadway 14 I came to Times Square with its theatres, neon lights, and crowds of people. I didn’t feel tired, so I 15 to walk around the city. I wanted to see 16 _on my first day, although I knew it was impossible.When I 17 to the hotel, I couldn’t fall asleep, lay 18 and thought about New York.

It’s recognition that something you’ve said or 1 has damaged a relationship—and that you 2 enough about that relationship to want it 3 . It’s never 4 to acknowledge you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need the art of apology. Look back and think how 5 you’ve judged roughly (草率), said 6 things, pushed yourself 7 at the expense (在使某人受损的情况下) of a friend. Some deep thought in us know that when 8 a small mistake has been made, your 9 will stay out of balance until the mistake is acknowledged and your regret is 10 .I remember a doctor friend, 11 me about a man who came to him with12 illnesses: headache, insomnia (失眠), stomachaches and so on. No physical 13 could be found. Finally the doctor said to the man, “ 14 you tell me what’s on your conscience (良心), I can’t help you.”After a short silence, the man told the doctor that he 15 all the money that his father gave to his brother, who was 16 . His father had died, so only he himself knew the matter. The old doctor made the man write to his brother making an 17 and enclosing (附寄) a 18 .

Last evening I was watching the evening news on television.The news was about a prize for scientific 1 ;I forgot what it was.The announcer,whose name was Ralph Sorry,said something that caught my 2 .“All great discoveries,”he said,“are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty.” 3 a little over thirty myself,I wanted to disagree with him. 4 wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery.The next day I happened to be in the public library and spent several hours looking up the 5 of famous people and their discoveries.Ralph was right. First I looked at some of the 6 discoveries.One of the earliest discoveries,the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different 7 fall at the same speed,was made by Galileo when he was 26.Madam Curie started her research that 8 to the Nobel Prize when she was 28.Einstein was 26 when he published his world changing Theory of Relativity.Well, 9 of that.Yet I 10 if those “best years ”were true in other 11 . Then how about the field of 12 ?Surely it needs the wisdom of age to make a good leader.Perhaps it 13 ,but look when these people 14 their career.Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26.Abraham Lincoln 15 the life of a country lawyer and elected to the government at what age?Twenty six. But why 16 best years come after thirty?After thirty,I 17 ,most people do not want to take risks or try 18 ways.Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso.The former was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty,while the latter was 19 trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!Perhaps there is still 20 for me. 1.

I know I should have told the headmaster at the time. That was my real 1 . He had gone out of the study for some 2 , leaving me alone. In his absence. I looked to see 3 was on his desk. In the 4 was a small piece of paper on which were written the 5 “English Writing Prize 1949.History Is a Series of Biographies (人物传记)”. A (n ) 6 boy would have avoided (避免) looking at the title as soon as he saw the 7 . I did not. The subject of the English Writing Prize was kept a 8 until the start of the exam so I could not 9 reading it. When the headmaster 10 , I was looking out of the window. I should have told him what had 11 then. It would have been so 12 to say: “I’m sorry, but I 13 the title for the English Writing Prize on your desk. You’ll have to 14 it.” The chance passed and I did not 15 it. I sat the exam the next day and I won. I didn’t 16 to cheat, but it was still cheating anyway. That was thirty-eight years 17 when I was fifteen. I have never told anyone about it before, 18 have I tried to explain to myself why not. The obvious explanation is that I could not admit (承认) I had seen the title 19 admitting that I had been looking at the things on his desk. 20 there must have been more behind it.

The South Pole is a particular place on the earth.When people stand at the top of it looking around,they will find all directions face to north.No matter how they make their first step in which direction,they will always walk towards the north.That’s to say,only north and south exist there,neither east nor west exists.At the top of the South Pole,any clock or watch keeps good time because all meridians(子午线)join there.All kinds of local time are completely suitable there.It is even difficult to distinguish(区别) New Year’s Eve from New Year’s Day.The explorers and scientists from different countries always fix the time according to their own.Therefore the time by their watches was different when the people with different nationality gathered there. The Winter Solstice(冬至日) is an important festival at the South Pole.It is always on June 21 or 22.This day is called Midwinter Festival,on which the daytime is the shortest in a year and the night the longest.All people at the South Pole extend greetings to each other and present gifts to each other.They usually give all kinds of celebrations.From that day on,the daytime will get longer day by day.1.At the top of the South Pole,your watch will ________.A.keep good timeB.be five minutes fastC.stopD.be ten minutes slow2.The time by the watches of the explorers and scientists from different countries is ________.A.always the sameB.not always differentC.always slowD.not always the same3.The Winter Solstice is an important festival ________.A.in the worldB.at the South PoleC.at the North PoleD.in China4.On the Winter Solstice,________ is the shortest in a year.A.the nightB.the noonC.the morningD.the daytime23. A few years after World II finished, Scientists spoke with great eagerness about the use of nuclear(核) as source of energy. Within twenty years, they said, nuclear would take the place of coal, gas and oil as a source of power at home and in industry. This promise has never been carried out and there are serious doubts that it ever will be. Nuclear power plants are used to produce energy in some wealthier countries, but the cost is high.Although safety measures have been taken, radiation leaks(辐射泄漏) have taken place and workers have been killed or affected. The problem of getting rid of the nuclear waste has proved most difficult. There is a limit to the mount of waste materials which can be buried in the。

They were sure that even if they came from a l ow income family, their tuition fees and some of their living (or maintenance) costs woul d be covered by a l ocal authority grant(拨款). A university education was, in a financial sense, open to all and the number of stud ents attending university grew yearly.Sadly, it seems, those days are l ong gone. The turning point came in 1998, when the Labour Government introduced tuition fees of £1,000 a year and, instead of giving stud ents a maintenance grant, asked them to cover their own living expenses with a repayabl e stud ent l oan. Only stud ents on the l owest incomes were entitl ed to a grant.The fl ood gates had been opened. As time passed, the ceiling on tuition fees rose, and although applicants from Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales still qualified for varying l evels of subsidy(补贴), by 2009/10 stud ents in England often found themselves facing tuition fees over£3,000 a year.In 2011 the Government announced that, from 2012, universities coul d charge fees of up to £9,000 a year. Although the Government sweetened the pill by stating that postgraduates did not have to begin repaying their stud ent loans until they were earning more than £21,000 a year, the news created over-dissatisfaction. Many stud ents argued that it was unfair that stud ents shoul d have to begin their work life l oad ed with huge d ebt, whil e others complained that the changes woul d bring back a class divid e to university education. These views were refl ected in the number of stud ents applying for a university place, which by January 2012 fell by more than 22,000. The Universities Minister, David Will etts, stood by the d ecision to increase tuition fees, saying that they woul d not “put universities’ finance on a bearabl e footing” and that they would accel erate “a stronger focus on high quality teaching.”21.From the first paragraph, we can infer that _____ in attending university.A. affordability plays more important rol es than ambition and aspirationB. ambition and aspiration are more important than affordabilityC. affordability is as important as ambition and aspirationD. ambition and aspiration make a greater difference2.We can put the sentence “But the biggest change was still to come” at the beginning of Paragraph _____.A. 2B. 3C. 4D. 523.The und erlined part “sweetened the pill” in the last paragraph possibly means_____.A. mad e a sweet pillB. mad e the change appear goodC. increased the pillD. reduced the pill24.The writer _____ the change about university education fees.A. is in favor ofB. is opposed toC. takes no notice ofD. is neither for nor againstBItaly is one country where beauty is prized more than any other virtue. That is, except in the small town of Piobbico, the self-d eclared World Capital of Ugly Peopl e. The road sign at the edge of the town even warns visitors that they are entering the ugly zone. Peopl e who consid er themselves ugly have been gathering in Piobbico since the 1960s. That’s when Ugly Club presid ent Telesforo Lacobelli established a dating agency for women who believed they were too ugly to attract husbands. Lacobelli believes that he is ugly himself because he has a short nose in a country where l ong or large noses have always been consid ered beautiful.Peopl e from around the worl d travel to Piobbico to tell their sad stories of ugliness. During the annual Festival of the Ugly, which occurs on the first Sunday of every September, hundreds of peopl e gather in Piobbico’s town squa re to elect the presid ent of the Ugly Club. Lacobelli wins the election every year. The Ugly Club has over 20, 000 members. They carry ID cards that grad e their ugliness from bearabl e to extreme. A prize is award ed to Ugly Club members who qualify as extremely ugly.The Ugly Club presid ent insists that ugliness is a virtue. Since beautiful peopl e get a l ot of attention for their beauty alone, they have to work hard to prove their other virtues. Ugly peopl e, on the other hand, are genuine and d o not have to prove anything to anybody, according to Lacobelli.Lacobelli is a spokesperson for ugly peopl e everywhere. He believes that the uglier one is, the better life can be. Though the club enjoys making fun of beauty, especially beauty contests, Lacobelli has a serious sid e as well. He believes that too many peopl e suffer from financial and emotional pressures because they d on’t meet society’s standards of beauty. The fact that beautiful peopl e are more successful in the workforce is a problem that Lacobelli has attempted to bring forward to the Italian public and government.25.Piobbico is rather special in that .A. it is a very small townB. it is home to ugly peopl eC. it receives no visitorsD. it is the capital of Italy26.Why is Lacobelli elected the presid ent of the Ugly Club every year?A. Because he is the ugliest person in the whol e worl d.B. Because his ugliness is always grad ed as bearabl e.C. Because he is a spokesperson for ugly peopl e everywhere.D. Because he has won the members’ trust and admiration.27.Which of the foll owing is true according to the passage?A. Ugly peopl e are most respected in Italy.B. The Festival of the Ugly is held every two years.C. Ugly peopl e are unfairly treated in society.D. The uglier one is, the better life he or she lives.28.Which of the foll owing would be the best titl e for the passage?A. The Ugly Capital of the Worl dB. The Ugliest Person of the Worl dC. Festival of the UglyD. Beauty Contests Shoul d be BannedCBrenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl. She had one big dream—to play the drums in a band. But one big problem lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a l ot, but she lived next-d oor to a l ot of ol d peopl e. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy. One day, whil e watching a science d ocumentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos d ecid ed to become a sort of musical astronaut.With the help of a l ot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubbl e. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air insid e. All that would be l eft insid e was a drum kit(成套设备)and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had mad e, entered the bubbl e, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wil d chil d.It wasn't l ong before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many peopl e came to see her play in her space bubbl e. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubbl e and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: ''If those ol d peopl e next–d oor hadn't mattered so much to me, I woul dn't have found a solution, and none of this woul d have ever happened.''29.Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?A. Because she didn't want others to hear her playB. Because she didn't mean to disturb others.C. Because she didn't have her own roomD. Because she didn’t like her neighbors.30.Brenda started to give concerts _______.A. after she practiced in her space bubbl eB. when she became part of the unique space journeyC. after she became a real musical astronautD. when peopl e came to see her in the space bubbl e31.Brenda became famous because _______.A. she was good at music and scienceB. she became a real musical astronautC. she invented a special way of practiceD. she played well and had a talent32.It can be inferred from the text that: " _______".A.

Then he went to sl eep again. But soon he was waken up again because a second person was knocking at the wind ow. “Sir, d o you know the time?” he asked. The driver l ooked at his watch again, and tol d him it was half past eight.In this way, the driver thought he coul d not have a good rest, so he wrote a short note and stuck it on the wind ow for all to see.
