AA common overbooking problem on a United Airlines flight on Sunday ended with a man being bloodied and dragged from his seat and an already troubled airline earning more bad press. How did it all go so wrong?Overbooking on flights happens all the time. Empty seats cost airlines money, so they offset(抵消) the number of passengers who miss flights by selling too many tickets. In this case, the problem arose because United decided at the last minute to fly four members of staffto a connection point and needed to bump four passengers to make way for them.When there’s an overbooking issue the first step is to offer an inducement to the passengers to take a later flight. On Sunday passengers were offered $400, a hotel room for the night, and a flight the following afternoon. When no-one took the offer, the amount was upped to $800. Still no-one bit, so a manager boarded the flight and informed passengers that four people would be selected to leave the flight.That selection is based on several fac tors, but frequent fliers and higher fare-paying passengers are given priority to stay aboard, a spokeswoman for United confirmed.A couple who were selected agreed to leave the plane voluntarily.A third passenger, reportedly the wife of the man who was forcibly removed, also agreed. The man, who said he was a doctor and had to see patients in the morning, refused. An airline manager told him that security would be called if he did not obey. their conversation endedwith the man being yanked from his seat onto the floor and dragged off, blood visible on his face.United Airlines CEO said the airline would review the event and reach out to the passenger, but the spokeswoman could not confirm whether United was in touch with him yet.1. Why does overbooking on flights always occur?A. United bumped four passengers to spare seats for its staff.B. Airlines expect to earn as much money as possible.C. Airlines want to make up for a loss of empty seats.D. It happens by accident.2. What can we inferred about the selection mentioned in the text?A. People are selected at random by the computer.B. Frequent fliers will never be asked to leave.C. The selected doctor may be the low fare-paying passengers or not a frequent flier.D. The selected passengers will be offered no money.3. Which of the following statements about four passengers is true?A. Four people were directly selected to leave at first.B. The couple of the doctor agreed to leave voluntarily.C. The doctor was dragged off without any hurt.D. The doctor refused to leave because he had to see his patient next morning.4. What does the underlined part “reach out to” in Paragraph 6 refers to?A. Get in contact withB. Make up forC. Apologize toD. Team up withBThe days of having to remember your ID could soon be a thing of the past. The famous tourist town of Wuzhen, China, is now using facial recognition technology to act as its entry pass through the gates of the attraction. The system uses cameras to notice people as they approach the entry, and checks these against a database of registered visitors within a few seconds. The technology is thought to be up to 99.77 percent accurate and able to distinguish people better than a human.Wuzhen is a popular tourist town with visitors going there in large numbers to see its stunning river system and museums. Baidu, a web firm often referred to as “Chinese Google”, created the system. When people now check in to their accommodation, they will have their photo taken and uploaded to a central database upon leaving and re-entering the town, the system will re-check that they are still a guest at a hotel, before allowing them back in.The technology is being used to track the 5,000 visitors that stay in the town’s hotels every day. Yuanqing Lin, director of the Institute of deep Learning at Baidu, told The Verge, “With our technology, you don’t need to g ive your ID. When you are approaching a gate, it will take a photo of you and compare that photo to the database.” Wuzhen used to monitor its visitors using a ticket-entry system, but this could easily be abused. It was discovered that some people were sharing their tickets to avoid paying.Baidu’s system is based on neural networks, which can process huge amounts of data--- more than one billion faces. As well as recognizing faces, the system can also discover facial movements, so it can’t be fooled by s omeone holding up a mask.Baidu is also using the software for employee entry at its Beijing headquarters.5. What can be learnt about the facial recognition technology from the passage?A. The technology could soon be a thing of the past.B. The technology can be over 99.77% accurate.C. The technology can match visitors’ faces with those in the databaseD. The technology is being used to track where the 5,000visitors are going.6. Which of the following word can replace the underlined word “stunning” in paragraph 2?A. popularB. attractiveC. brilliantD. funny7. How does Wuzhen monitor its visitors now?A. By using facial recognition technologyB. By using a ticket-entry systemC. By using ID cardD. By using tickets8. What is the passage mainly about?A. Facial recognition is widely used in China.B. Baidu, a web firm, is using the recognition system.C. Chinese tourist town Wuzhen is using facial recognition.D. Wuzen is a popular tourist town with many visitors goingthere to see the system.CAbout three decades ago, China was known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”. But the two-wheeled approach of transport’s popularity began to fade, with many bikes soon replaced by their fuel-powered competitors.But recent months have seen a repopulality of the humble bike across China, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. The introduction of bike-sharing schemes, pioneered by start-up company like Ofo and Mobike, has brought the trend to a new level. According to data shown by iResearch Consulting Group, the first week of this year saw5.85 million active users of Mobike while Ofo had 1.4 million active users.People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphone. The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They’re popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the “last mile” problem, which refers to the final leg of a person’s journey.However, the schemes have also led to problems such as illegal parking, damage on purpose and theft. To deal with these problems, the company came up with the idea of encouraging people to return the bikes to stations by rewarding free time f or their next rides.9. Why did the two-wheeled approach of transport become less popular?A. Because China is no longer a bicycle kingdom.B. Because cycling is not convenient.C. Because fuel-powered competitors were replaced by riding.D. Because mostly driving took the place of cycling.10. What can we learn from the passage?A. The bike’s popularity began to fade.B. Only Ofo and Mobike creat ed the trend to a new level of using bikes.C. The shared bikes offer a useful approach to the final leg problem.D. The company rewarded some money and free time to the users.11. What is the best title of this passage?A. the new mode of humble bikesB. the development of humble bikesC. the advantages of humble bikesD. the issue of humble bikesDThere are often many assumptions made about young people aged 15 to 21, but only a few can be proved with hard evidence. Now, newresearch has been published to help people get a better idea of these misunderstood young people.According to an international survey in 2016, young people in emerging economies like China and India have a greater sense of hope about the future, compared with those living in Europe, North Americaand Australia.The survey was carried out between September a nd October by the Varkey Foundation, a UK-based non-profit organization. It surveyed20,000 young people who were born between 1995 to 2001 in 20 countries. They were asked questions about their hopes, ambitions, personal views and community values.It was found that 53 percent of those questioned in Chinathought the world was becoming a better place – the highest percentage among the countries surveyed. Some 93 percent of them also felt hopeful for the future because of advances in technology, such as in medicine, renewable energy and computing. Indian youth were the second most optimistic, with 49 percent taking a positive view of the world’s prospects.As for young people in China, what they fear most is the impact of climate change – some 82 percent of those who responded to thesurvey said so. Vikas Pota, chief executive of the Varkey Foundation, said it was encouraging that young people in China were aware howserious the problem of climate change is.“This is surely a hopeful development. T he young population of China is more aware than anyone of the seriousness of the climatecrisis –and will be pressing for change,” he told South China Morning Post. The overall survey showed a sense of optimism in the attitudes and opinions of the gen eration that is likely to shape the next few decades, according to Pota.“They are more likely to travel, to migrate across borders and to build friendships in other countries than any previous generation,” he said. “Global citizenship is not dead. It could just be getting started.”12. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. Young people often have better ideas.B. Young people are better than assumed.C. Young people are always misunderstood.D. Assumptions about young people are hard to prove.13. The survey shows us that _______.A. about half of the Chinese youth are positive about the future.B. 49% Indians take a positive view of the world’s prospects.C. Chinese youth are the most optimistic about the future.D. European youth have no hope for the future.1 4. What was Pota’s attitude towards Chinese youth?A. satisfiedB. criticalC. objectiveD. worried15. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Chinese youth misunderstoodB. Chinese youth encouragingC. Chinese youth pessimisticD. Chinese youth optimistic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。

2017年高中英语高考模拟试题

英语试题（一）第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

ALiving with other students can be a wonderful experience. Here are a few tips for student accommodations that can help ensure a great experience and build lifelong friendships: Screen your roommates carefully if you are given a choice. Combining the living spaces of several students into one location can be exciting and rewarding experience for the outgoing students. If you are on the shy side, or prefer a quiet group to study with, pick quieter roommates.Divide the bills evenly. Some students are far less responsible than their roommates and tend to let their part of the finance slide. Dissatisfaction is quick to build when everyone has to pay the bill for a fellow student who can’t seem to pay his/her share of the money.Carry your part of the load. Everyone has to clean the bathroom and the kitchen sometime.Don’t avoid your part of responsibility. Student accommodations can get messy and it involves everyone to keep them tidy and healthy.Think about someone else before you think about yourself. Put your roommates interests above your own. Life will be far enjoyable when everyone is concerned about the feelings property and studies of each other.Be open and honest. Hostilities (敌意) and frustrations may cause problems that can’t be fixed. Everyone brings different standards and expectations to group living and it’s in everyone’s best interest to put them into the open. Disagreements can be managed more warmly when your are willing to be both open and listen to others.1. When it comes to the bills, every member is advised to________ .A. foot the bill for a fellow studentB. let his/her part of the finances slideC. pay his/her own share of moneyD. take more responsibility than others2. The role “carry your part of the load” means every room member should ________.A. avoid making too much noiseB. take turns to keep the room tidyC. take care of others when they are illD. avoid staying up and oversleeping3. To be a good member, one should learn to ________ according to the passage.A. choose his/her roommates at randomB. balance his/her interests with othersC. express his/her disagreement openly and honestlyD. tolerate different standards and expectationsBHi, everybody. Over the past couple months, most of the political headlines you’ve read have probably been about the government shutdown and the launch of the Affordable Care Act(平价医疗法案). And I know that many of you have rightly never been more frustrated with Washington.But if you look beyond those headlines, there are some good things happening in our economy. And that’s been my top prio rity（优先考虑）since the day I walked into the Oval Office.After decades in which the middle class was working harder and harder just to keep up, and apunishing recession（衰退）that made it worse, we made the tough choices required not just to recover from crisis, but to rebuild on a new foundation for stronger, more durable economic growth.Five years later, we have fought our way back. Our businesses have created 7.8 million new jobs in the past 44 months. Another 200,000 Americans went back to work last month.The American auto industry has come back with more than 350,000 new jobs –-- jobs putting out and selling the high-tech, fuel-efficient cars the world wants to buy. And they’re leading the charge in a business that has added jobs for the first time since the 1990s –-- a big reason why our businesses sell more goods and services “Made in America” than ever before.We decided to stop our addiction to foreign oil. And today, we produce more renewable energy than ever, more natural gas than anybody, and for the first time in nearly 20 years, America now produces more oil than we buy from other countries.We decided to fix a broken health care system. And even though the task has been rough, so far, about 500,000 Americans gain health coverage starting January 1st. And by the way, health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years.And one more thing: since I took office, we’ve cut our deficits (赤字) by more than half. And that makes it easier to invest in the things that create jobs –-- education, research, and so on.Imagine how much farther along we could be if both parties were working together. Think about what we could do if the few didn’t hold the economy hostage (人质) every few months, or waste time on dozens of votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act rather than try to help us fix it.In the weeks ahead, I’ll keep talking about my plan to build a better bargain for the middle class. Good jobs. A good education. A chance to buy a home, save, and retire. And yes, the financial security of affordable health care. And I’ll look for any willing partners who want to help.Because of your hard work and tough sacrifices over the past five years, we’re pointed in the right direction. But we’ve got more work to do to keep moving that way.And as long as I’m President, I’ll keep doing everything I can to create jobs, grow the economy, and make sure that everyone who works hard has a chance to get ahead. Thanks, and have a great weekend.4. Which of the following is not the reason for people’s frustration with the government?A. The government shutdownB. Unemployment rateC. The addiction to foreign oilD. Cancelling the Affordable Care Act5. Why does the president mention more goods and services “Made in America”?A. To show that American goods and services are very popular.B. To indicate that American people should be dependent on themselves.C. To show that the employment rate has been increased.D. To show that American auto industry enjoys high technology.6. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “repeal”?A. put an end toB. try hard to fixC. make strongerD. get accustomed to7. According to the speech, which of the following can be implied?A. American people have every reason to feel frustrated with the government.B. Health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years.C. The president feels sorry that the economy is not moving in the right direction.D. Some government officials don’t agree with the president on the medical care sy stem.CConventional wisdom is a major barrier to innovation（创新）that threatens the survival of companies everywhere. It’s based on the assumption that old ideas will always work, so they shouldn’t be challenged. While this may be a valid assumption in situations that don’t change, it’s unlikely to hold true in a changing situation. In today’s rapid changing global environment, old methods often don’t work, and stubbornly using them can lead to major problems.Most people seem to agree with conventional wisdom because it gives one a false sense of security. If everyone else believes it, then it must be tree. Individuals who use conventional wisdom are certain that they are right, and being fight is good. They want to continue using old ideas rather than take risks with changes that might not work. In 1977, Ken Olsen, co-founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation（DEC）, stated “There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home.” Despite being a dominant leader in the computer industry, DEC n o longer exists.People seem to forget that since innovation is a change, there can be no innovation without change. Unfortunately, conventional wisdom prevents leaders, followers and companies from changing and therefore innovating. If companies don’t innovate, but their competitors do, the future is likely to be problematic（成问题的）. Breaking from conventional wisdom has led to many of the most innovative companies and products in history across many industries, so it has a powerful effect on business success.Ted Turner（founder of CNN）knew little, if anything, about the news business, but he knew it was inconvenient to watch news only at the dinner hour, as was common before CNN. Turner’s solution was to create a cable （有线的）channel devoted to news 24 hours a day. The news establishment reflected conventional wisdom at the time, and predicted his idea would fail because no one wanted to watch the news all day. However, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that viewers don’t have to watch the news all day for the CNN to work. Viewers just have to watch when they want to get information. Due to conventional thinking, the critics failed to recognize the opportunity that was clear to Ted. They assumed that only what was familiar to them could work in the future.Conventional wisdom prevents creativity, flexibility and risk-taking, so unconventional leaders enthusiastically break from it. To survive, boom and maintain competitive advantage, companies must be flexible when reacting to change.8. DEC has disappeared probably because ________.A. the CEO stuck to the conventional ideasB. the consumers didn’t like its productsC. the leaders lacked the sense of securityD. the employees took many risks with changes9. The founding of CNN is used as an example to prove ________.A. missing opportunities could lead to failureB. watching news at the dinner hour is convenientC. changing could contribute to business successD. conventional wisdom influences business success10. What does the underlined part probably mean?A. Rocket scientists can ensure the CNN works properly.B. It’s easy to know people needn’t watch the news all the time.C. It’s necessary to understand when people watch the news.D. Most of the viewers don’t like to watch the news at work.11. The passage is mainly written to tell us that _______A. old methods are changing with timeB. opportunities lead to business successC. successful companies need wise leadersD. conventional wisdom limits innovationDA new study has discovered that meditation(冥想)and oxygen sport together reduce depression(抑郁)．The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination done twice a week for only two months，reduced the symptoms for a group of students by 40 percent “We are excited by the findings Because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both clinically depressed and non—depressed students，”said lead author Dr．Brandon Alderman．“It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing with depression．”Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive effect in combating depression．Alderman and Dr．Traeey Shors discovered that a combination of mental and physical training (MAP)enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative thoughts defeat them．Rutgers researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30 minutes of focused attention meditation followed by 30 minutes of oxygen sport．They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their breathing，enabling those with depression to accept moment-to-moment changes in attention．Shors，who studies the production of new brain cells in the hippocampus—part of the brain involved in memory and learning—says scientists have shown in animal mode1s that oxygen sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive．The idea for the human intervention(干预)came from her laboratory studies，studies，she says，the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recover from stressful life events．By learning to focus their attention and exercise，people who are fighting depression can acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming recollection of memories from the past，Shors says．“We know these treatments，can be practiced over a lifetime and that they will be effective in improving mental health．”said Alderman．“The good news is that this intervention can be practiced by anyone time any time and at no cost．”12．What made the research so different?A．Adopting a way of meaningful talk．B．Combining the two ways to treat depression．C．Treating depression with special medicine．D．Comparing the depressed with the non-depressed．13．The underlined word “combating”in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by______．A．fighting B．identifying C．distinguishing D．examining14．What did the participants do in the research?A．They did oxygen sport half an hour before thinking．B．They through quietly and then took exercise．C．They took exercise longer than they thought．D．They took exercise while thinking quietly．15．What is Shors’main purpose of her studies?A．To find our certain brain cells of humans．B．To study the production of new brain cells．C．To offer people a new methord to treat stress．D．To decide the links between stress and exercise．第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

AIt is obvious that doctors recognize obesity（肥胖）as a health problem. So why is itso hard for them to talk to their patients about it?The results of two surveys, one of primary care physicians and the other of patients,found that while most doctors want to help patients lose weight and think it is theirresponsibility to do so, they often don’t know what to say.“So while doctors may tell patients they are overweight, the conversation often endsthere,” said Christi ne C. Ferguson, director of the Stop Obesity Alliance. “Patients are nottold about the possibility of diabetes (a kind of disease),” she said. “And doctors don’t feel they have good information to give. They felt that they didn’t have adequate tools toaddress this problem.The lack of dialogue hurts patients, too. The patient survey, of over 1,000 adults,found that most overweight patients don’t e ven know that they’re too heavy.

2017高考英语模拟练习及答案(精编)

英语模拟套题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AThe homeless dog, known as Xiao Sa, has been following a team of cyclists for 24 days along 1,833 kilometers of highway from Kangding, Sichuan province, to Lhasa in Tibet.Nobody knows where the white dog came from or how long she has been straying on highway G318. Netizens call her the ―dog with determination‖ and the micro blog ―Go Go Xiao Sa‖ recording her life has attracted more than 37,000 followers in two week s.A picture of Xiao Sa in the arms of a young man in front of the Potala Palace on Thursday night drew more than 4,000 comments congratulating the small dog and expressing dreams of going to Lhasa.The young man in the picture is Zhang Heng, 22, a student in Wuhan, Hubei province. As his graduation trip, he decided to face the challenge of riding to Lhasa alone. On the way he met a lonely dog. ―She was lying, tired, on the street around Yajiang, Sichuan province,‖ he said. ―So we fed her, and then she followed our team.‖―We felt she might want to come along with us, so we decided to bring her along to the end.‖ A week later, Zhang and his buddies opened a micro blog account for her. ―We thought the dog was encouraging us, and wanted others to know its story,‖ he said. They created the name Xiao Sa by combining xiao meaning ―little‖ with the last syllable of Lhasa.During their journey, Xiao Sa, Zhang and his team covered more than 1,700 kilometers and climbed 10 mountains higher than 4,000 meters. Xiao Sa just ran up the mountains or along dirt roads.―Many people stopped cycling in some sections, then took the bus, but the dog made it,‖ he said. Zhang put the dog on the back of the bike when the team was riding downhill. ―The speed can reach 70 kilome ters per hour, impossible for the dog to catch us.‖Zhang Heng, who accompanied Xiao Sa for 20 days, called her ―a buddy and a friend‖. ―I would like to take the dog home and take care of her. She has been a stray on the road for a long time. She needs a home.‖21 How did the netizens feel when they read the micro blog related to the dog?A. inspiredB. sympatheticC. pitifulD. unbelievable22. Zhang Heng and his team opened a micro blog account for the dog just because __________.A. the dog is very cute and friendlyB. the dog encouraged them and they wanted more people to know its storyC. it is the first dog to travel to LhasaD. They had nothing else to do on their journey23. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The dog had been straying on highway G318 before it met the team of cyclists.B. During their journey, Zhang and his team climbed 10 mountains higher than 4,000 meters.C. The micro blog ―Go Go Xiao Sa has attracted more than 37,000 followers in two weeks.D. The dog ran alone behind them when the team was riding downhill.24. Which might be the best title for the passage?A. A Dog with DeterminationB. A Micro Blog and a DogC. Travel to Lhasa with a DogD. A Dog Follows a TeamBI’ve made a friend through a friend of my mother’s. My mom and her mom met through a skiing group for people with disabilities. I am disabled, and so is her mother. We lived about 45 minu tes’ drive away from each other, but we spent as much time together as possible. We even went to summer camps together. This was often a challenge, given that she was able-bodied while I was not. I went to YMCA and Girl Scout camps with her for able-bodied kids. A lot of time there were activities I just couldn’t keep up with, or sometimes I wasn’t able to participate in at all. A couple of summers, I also tried attending summer camps for kids with disabilities. But I felt terribly bored, and found that I w asn’t getting enough physical activities. One year, we signed up for the Girl Scout camp together, again. Someone put me in with the younger kids, thinking it would give me more opportunities. My friend stayed with me and the young ones. We were both uncomfortable, due to the fact that we were the only girls in our group able to do many things. There was a big sister pro-gram, and we were even older than our big sisters! I will never forget what this friend did for me by sticking with me through the whole two weeks. Not only did she stick with me, but she did everything she could to make it more fun. I don’t know if she had any idea how much her efforts meant to me then, or how much they still mean. To me, what she did was what a true friend does.25. What do we learn about the author?A. She suffered a lot from her disability.B. She and her good friend’s mother are both disabled.C. She preferred to attend camps intended for disabled children.D. She is inspired by the memory of her friend.26. When they were at the Girl Scout camp, ________.A. the author sometimes couldn’t make herself adapt to the activitiesB. her friend staying with her hurt the author’s feelingsC. they felt very different from the other girls they were withD. the author felt bored for not getting enough physical activities27. The author thinks a true friend should _________.A. spare no efforts to helpB. do everything for the otherC. give constant care and praiseD. stick with the other through hard timesCBreak Your Bad MoodHaving one of those days or weeks-- when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster--often within a day or two.Walk it offExercise is the most popular bad-- mood buster. A person who’s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension, taking a fast ten--minute walk, or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.Tune it outListening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we’ve had.Give yourself a pep （激励的）talkStop and listen to what’s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper--the pessimistic messages you've been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. (―I still don't have a job.‖ vs ―I have two interviews next week.‖) Reduce your stressRelaxation techniques are wonderful modifiers. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated but aren’t. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to be against distress is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’re not helpless. You ca n make changes in your mood and life.Avoid things that won’t improve your moodTV may not help much: You need to increase your energy level and stimulate your mind-something that the TV show ―Neighbors‖ won’t do. And before you reach for that piece o f cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. A better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta(意大利面食), produce a calming effect on people who have a desire for them.28. We learn from the text that it might help us to get rid of a bad mood ________A. to do nothing about itB. to take a long walk on the beachC. to do some exercises with light musicD. to talk about it to neighbors29. Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?A. It is not complicated to do so.B. It is an area which can be easily controlled.C. It helps beat a bad mood.D. It brings us a new technique.30. TV may not improve your mood because ________.A. it sometimes shows what happens around youB. it keeps you sitting without movingC. it reminds you of eating and drinkingD. it produces a calming effect31. This text most probably appears in ________.A. a book on physical exercisesB. a doctor’s handbookC. a noticeD. a magazineDI hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning how to stand on your own two feet. But take a look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at (attempting to seize) one another's hands for reassurance.They claim that they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in mussel. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus and such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) — into a lager cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry had firmly carved out a teenager market. These days everyteenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come toward high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.32. The author's purpose of writing this passage is to tell____.A. readers how to be popular with people aroundB. teenagers how to decide things for themselvesC. parents how to control and guide their childrenD. people how to understand and respect each other33.According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but in fact, most of them __________________.A. have much difficulty understanding each otherB. lack confidenceC. dare not cope with problems single handedD. are very much afraid of getting lost34. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. There is no popularity that really counts.B. What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.C. It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.D. Most teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to do.35. During the teenage years, one should learn to __________________A. differ from others in as many ways as possibleB. get into the right season and become popularC. find one's real selfD. rebel against parents and the popularity waves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。

AHow will you celebrate New Year’s Eve? By having a party with your classmates? Going to the karaoke for a singing competition? Many people around the world celebrate the day. Let’s have a look at what people in other c ountries do.In the United States, thousands of people jam into Times Square in New York to welcome in the new year at midnight. The change from New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day is very exciting. People count down the seconds to welcome the new day as the New Year ball slowly gets down and lights up the area.In Spain, when the clock strikes midnight, everyone eats 12 grapes. They eat one grape for each toll (钟声) to bring good luck for the next 12 months of the new year.In Scotland, fireworks are set off in front of the Edinburgh Castle. Immediately after midnight, people sing Auld Lang Syne. The words are in Scottish and mean “days gone by”. The famous Scottish poet Robert Burns wrote the song.In Brazil, most people wear white clothes on New Year’s Eve to bring good luck for the new year. If they live near a beach, aftermidnight, people go there, light candles in the sand, throw flowers in the sea and make a wish. They say that the goddess who protects the sea will make their wishes come true.Did you know?The date January 1 was picked by the Roman leader Julius Caesar as the change of the year when he established his own calendar in 46 BC. The month of January was named after the Roman god, Janus. He is pictured with two heads. One head looks forward and the other back. They represent a break between the old and new.1. What’s the best title of the passage?A. The history of New Year.B. 12 grapes, 12 months .C. Where to celebrate the New Year’s Eve.D.New Year joy all around the world.2.

What does the underlined word jam in the second paragraph mean?A. come in a large numberB. walk up and downC. rush from time to timeD. come now and thenBThere is a lot of talk these days about how kids should be interested in science. Here’s an area of science for everyone, and these cool new books might inspire you to discover your inner scientist.Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled by Catherine Thimmesh, 58pages, ages 9-12Seeing a picture or a model of a dinosaur, do you wonder how anybody knows what they look like? After all, nobody has seen a living dinosaur. This book explains how scientists and artists work together to re-create dinosaurs. As scientific discoveries have been made, the models have changed. Scientific tests may one day expose what a dinosaur’s coloring was, but now artists have to use their imagination to determine how these huge creatures looked.Beyond the Solar System by Mary Kay Carson, 128 pages, ages 10-13This book takes readers back to the beginnings of space exploration—thousands of years ago, when people began star observation—and forward to today’s search for planets in distant parts of the Milky Way. Along with history lessons, readers get 21 activities, such as making a black hole and creating a model of Albert Einstein’s universe using a T-shirt. The activities are perfect for cold winter days.Ultimate Bugopedia by Darlyne Murawski and Nancy Honovich, 272 pages, ages 7 and olderIf you’re always on the lookout for butterflies, this book is for you. Hundreds of color photos of common and unusual insects fill this hardcover. There are fascinating stories related to the photos. For example, do you know an insect feeds on the tears of Asian cattle? There’s a question-and-answer section with an insect scientist and advice on how to help preserve endangered insects.Journey Into the Invisible by Christine Schlitt, 80 pages, ages 9-12If you use a magnifying(放大的)glass, you know a leaf looksquite different. This book explains what microscopes do and then shows what happens to things around the house when watched with this amazing scientific tool. The bacteria(细菌) in your mouth, when magnified 20,000 times, look a bit like swimming pool noodles.

Kelly, a policeman, said “He says that there was an evil spell that was cast on him.”Camara, who was in stable condition at St. Barnabas Hospital, was later charged with the murder of Rita Morelli.The 36-year-old woman was getting a degree at Borough of Manhattan Community College as she waited tables at Caffe Buon Gusto on the upper East Side, police said. Camara called 911 from a payphone after killing the lively Morelli on Nov. 23.Her body was later found in her E. 120th St. home. She was hanged and had knife wounds to her throat and chest.Policemen began dialing numbers from Morelli’s cell phone and when Camara picked up, a detective recognized his voice as the man who called in the report of a dead body, police said. When officers went to Camara’s home, he locked himself inside, forcing policemen to burst down the front door to catch him.“He is standing there with a knife pointed at his chest,” Kelly, a policeman, said. “He makes threatening statements as to the fact that he killed the woman. He then stabs himself in the chest.”Camara, who told police he served six years in prison for robbery back in his native country, was still waiting to be charged with murder Thursday.Morelli left her hometown of Spoltore, Italy, five years ago to fully experience the arts and music culture of the big city, her family said.8.

He regretted and tried to kill himself but failed.D. He called the police and was ready to be arrested.DDriving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制药), damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination(协调), slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving limit, driving will be affected.Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed itup with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:● 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or● 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of brea th; or● 67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine (尿液).Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.Any drive found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens (样本) far breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.12. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.A. the introduction of driving skillsB. the damage of drinking to your bodyC. the effect of drinking on drivingD. the process of alcohol being absorbed13. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”.A. alcoholB. absorptionC. bloodD. process14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.B. Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.C. Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.D. 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink limit.15. A drive suspected of drink driving ________.A. should provide specimens for testingB. will be forbidden to drive for 3yearsC. will be punished for 10 driving-offence pointsD. should pay a maximum fine of HK $25,000第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

They have lived in their home in the mountains since 1953, so investigating the attic was a trip down memory lane for me.I climbed the unstable ladder to the dusty, cold third floor. I looked around and noticed a very old basket in the comer, in which I found letters piled high, faded and dirty-untouched there. As I opened each letter, I discovered a new and previously unrevealed page of my parents' lives.My father served in the Army. He wrote about his daily experiences with civilians, German POWs, baths and more. I was drawn to these letters. Each of my mother's letters was sealed with her 1944 lipstick kiss. Daddy wrote that he sealed his return letters by rekissing her lipstick kiss. Oh, how they missed each other!I finished reading six months of the letters and discovered there were at least eleven months missing. Where could they be?Just six weeks after my visit, Daddy became very ill and was hospitalized. He was scheduled for kidney dialysis (肾透析)when I decided to fly to visit him. We discussed the letters. He told me how much receiving those lipstick-kissed letters had meant to him when he had been so far from home. As I left, the thought raced through my mind that tomorrow was Valentine's Day. But I quicklydismissed this thought. My father wasn’t in any kind of shape to shop for a valentine. My parents had been married for fifty-six years. My mother would understand that her valentine would just have to be skipped this year.Later that evening. Mother and I revisited the attic in search of the lost letters. Toward the bottom, we discovered an unmarked gold cardboard box. Yes! Here were the long-lost letters! I began looking through them. Lying separate, on top of the letters was the valentine card my father had sent Mother in 1944!The next day, Mother and I visited Daddy in the hospital. I joked with him, saying softly, “Today is Valentine's Day, and I know you have been a little busy lately, but I’ve got something you covered.” I handed him the card. He carefully opened the card, and when he recognize d it, his eyes filled with tears.There was nothing lacking that Valentine's Day after all. My father, in a voice shaking with emotion, read the loving message he’d sent to my mother fifty-six years earlier. And this time, he could read it to her in person.4. What information do we get from the passage?A. The Valentine’s card to Mum sent by my father in 1944 was a real treasure to them.B. I revisited the attic, hoping to find some gold boxes.C. My father’s state of health was nothing serious six weeks after my first visit.D. My father had been in the army for just one year.5. The underlined word “dismissed” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to_____.A. sent awayB. laid offC. turned downD. gave up6. From the last paragraph, we can infer that _____.A. my father became totally well after he got the lost lettersB. my father was excited to read the loving message to my mom personallyC. my mother was fifty-six years old when she got the cardD. my father and m other had never sent Valentine’s cards to each other before7. The letters in this passage are the symbol of ____.A. kissB. faithC. loveD. promise(C)Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic (逻辑) behind what you think, feel, or only partly understand. Often, explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power.”Try this experiment. Explain how you’ll increase your brain power, even if you have no idea right now. Just start with anything, and create an explanation. For example, start with “I’ll learn chess,” or “I’ll read an article on the mind every week.” Explain how that will help. You’ll be surprised how often this be comes a workable plan, and if you actually do this, you’ll have a better understanding of your brain from now.Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many, if not most, highly productive people are always taking notes.

If you are bitten you have to pay a fine but today it's just for fun!I love the evening;everyone comes out and follows the horse's skull as it makes its way through the town singing at each door,usually stopping at various pubs and trying to gain entry,food and drink.There's traditional music and dancing.Sometimes there are Morris dancers who paint their faces black and wear colourful ribbons to disguise themselves.Many of the children are dressed in national dress.It really brings everyone together and you feel such a great sense ofcommunity!Although one of the oldest traditions in Wales,it nearly died out!Luckily today,there has been a rise in popularity with many Welsh towns breathing life again to these old-age customs.It's believed that it will be a hit again.9.What can we learn about the Mari Lwyd?A.It is celebrated in early winter.B.In the custom,a living horse bites villagers.C.A decorated skull goes around the town.D.It is the oldest tradition in Wales.10.What does the underlined phrase "a hit" mean?A.A failure.B.A popular activity.C.A serious crash.D.A promising plan.11.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A.To introduce an interesting tradition.B.To tell the differences among traditions.C.To cell for people to observe traditions.D.To show his pride of his country.DThere has been a technological revolution where kindles,e-books,and various online reading apps have taken over the world.Is reading a print hook out of date?Well,not exactly.There are so many wonderful factors involved with reading a print copy of the book.I remember the excitement of going to the bookstore with my mom when I was in elementary school.The feel of sitting down in the hook store and selecting the books I wanted to read was just so much fun!I think that reading paperback books has its own charm and excitement that cannot be replaced by an electronic book.Holding the physical copy of the book in my hands,and turning over each page makes the reading experience so much more real and memorable.Admittedly,e-books seem to be more convenient than print books.Purchasing an e-book can take place in seconds and these books are often priced less expensively than print copy books.With e-books,there most likely isn't going to be a storage problem,unless the device has a limit on how many books can be purchased.Then again,in order to read e-books one must have a particular device—tablet,iPad,Kindle or laptop to read it on.Thus,an additional payment has to he made in order to read e-books,whereas reading print copies does not involve any extra device.Print books never actually stopped leading the charge,considering that e-book sales have never made up more than a third of all book sales.And although they rose to that number extremely quickly—Amazon,only introduced the Kindle in 2007—the majority of all hooks soldhas always been print.The reality is that there is absolutely no reason print and e-books can't coexist in the book market,but print hooks may carry the day.12.What pleasure does the author have when he reads print copy books?A.He doesn't have to buy a tablet or iPad.B.He can get home and stay on the couch to enjoy reading.C.He can enjoy filling his shelf with books.D.He can sit down in the bookshop and read what he likes.13.What advantage do e-books have according to the passage?A.The reading experience is more real.B.There is no storage problem at all.C.Purchasing them takes less time.D.They are very priceless.14.What can we infer about the book market?A.E-book sales make up more than 1/3 of it.B.E-book sales have never surpassed print book sales.C.Amazon occupies most of the market.D.Print books and e-books can't coexist.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Print Books May Outlast E-BooksB.Books Change with the TechnologyC.E-books Are More Convenient than Print BooksD.Technological Revolution is Creating a Reading Revolution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。
