A scientific study in recent years has shown that it is a close relative of sadness and attention disorder; that procrastinators tend to be the result of low self-confidence and are likely to experience anxiety. The research has shown, what is more, that the illness has become quite common. Susan Robert, a behavioral psychologist who has written a book called Living With Procrastination, says that about a quarter of the adult population of the United States and Canada is reported to have serious problems with procrastination. “when we say ‘serious’we mean people for whom procrastination causes great discomfort and suffering. We’ve found that such people are more troubled by daily life than others, that possibility of anxiety is much higher among them than in the rest of the population.”In a society driven by achievement, it is little wonder that not being able to work at full steam will bring people sadness. Surely, in the land of opportunity, this anxiety has produced an industry of experts offering solutions. Many books and specialist solutions have appeared. In exchange for $ 19.95, Dr. Jerome Murray will send out an audio-cassette called “Protect yourfuture from the thief of procrastination.” Dr. Murray promises that if you follow his step-by-step rules you will be empowered to “turn self-defeat into self-realization”. “Since the start of the 1990s, procrastination has been taken more and more seriously,” said Dr. Roberts, who has been treating patients troubled by the condition for more than 20 years.” It is now recognized as a true mental health problem and is being seen more as a psychological problem and less as a moral issue.41.What is the main topic of this passage?A.Don’t hesitate to give up smoking.B.Don’t regard depression as not important.C.Delay can be a sign of illness.D.Don’t work too hard to stay healthy.正确答案:C42.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A.Procrastination is a disease of the mind.B.Procrastination is likely to cause a great discomfort and suffering.C.Procrastination is not considered as a psychological problem but moral issue.D.Dr. Jerome Murray provides some ways to get rid of procrastination.正确答案:C43.How does the author look at procrastination?A.It is something like running.B.It is a disease of mind.C.It is not a permitted act.D.It is not full of stress.正确答案:B44.These are the signs of procrastination except ( ).A.discomfortB.sufferingC.pleasureD.sadness正确答案:C45.What’s the main idea of Dr. Murray’s cassette “Protect your future from the thief of procrastination” ?A.Turn defeat to self-realization.B.Turn depression into enthusiasm.C.Procrastination has been taken more and more seriously.D.Turn self-defeat into self-realization.正确答案:DParrots are becoming one of the most popular pets in America for good reasons. The parrot is an extraordinary bird that can be taught to talk, can be easily cared for, and can create a lively atmosphere anywhere. With the help of an energetic parrot owner, a parrot can develop an enormous vocabulary. In addition, a parrot can be trained to say “Pretty boy” or “Polly wants a cracker, “and it also can learn to whistle or sing. No matter what an owner decides to teach a bird, training a parrot takes much patience, but the reward is a stream of chatter. Another reason for the parrot’s popularity is that this pet does not require much care. For example, even a spoiled parrot does not need a house-sitter for the purpose of daily walks and daily feeding. In fact, a parrot will overeat. Still another advantage of owning a parrot is its inexpensive food, including seeds, nuts, corn, and grain-along with an apple, banana, or carrot. Perhaps the most likely reason the parrot is becoming such a well-liked pet is that it is a combination of tameness and wildness. Because the parrot can live in almost any environment, it makes a fine, tame companion for many people. In addition, because it can be easily trained, it is a delightful performer. At the same time, its colorful feathers give it an air of the mystery of the parrot’s native home, the jungle. Thus, the parrot, once a highly valued gift presented to kings and noble families, is now appreciated by a growing number of people.46.A parrot can be trained to do all the following but ( ).A.talkB.help its ownerC.singD.create a lively atmosphere正确答案:B47.Which of the following is NOT a reason for the easy raising of the parrot?A.It eats very little.B.Its food is inexpensive.C.It does not need a house-sitter.D.It does not require daily walks as dogs do正确答案:A48.The word “tameness” in the passage means ( ).A.the quality of being brave or unafraidB.the quality of being kind or warm-heartedC.the quality of being uncontrolled or fierceD.the quality of being gentle or trained正确答案:D49.The word “jungle” probably means ( ).A.boundless desert with very little plant lifeB.large apartment building with pleasing surroundingsC.wild land overgrown with thick bushes and treesD.snow-covered mountain top in very cold areas正确答案:C50.The writer ( ).A.likes the parrotB.dislikes the parrotC.doesn’t care about the parrotD.values the parrot highly正确答案:AIn my long life I have seen many changes in our habits and customs and conditions in general. I think that you might be interested if I told you some of them. The world I entered at the age of eighteen when I became a medical student was a world that knew nothing of such advanced things as planes, films, radios or telephones. It was a very cheap world. Prices were stable. When I entered St. Thomas’hospital I rent a set of rooms in Vincent Square for which I paid 18 shillings a week. My landlady provided me with a very good breakfast before I went to the hospital and a dinner when T came back at half past six. I only had to pay for the breakfasts and dinners twelve shillings a week. For four-pence I lunched at St. Thomas’ on bread and butter and a glass of milk. I could be able to live very well, pay my fees, buy my necessary instruments, clothe myself, and have a lot of fun on fourteen pounds a month. And I could always pawn (当掉) my microscope for three pounds. I spent five years at St. Thomas’hospital. I was a bad student, for my heart, as you might have guessed, was not in it. I wanted, I had always wanted to be a writer, and in the evenings, after my dinner, I wrote and read. Before long, I wrote a novel called “Liza of Lambeth”, which I sent to a publisher and was accepted. It came out during my last year at the hospital and it was successful. It was of course an accident, but I didn’t know that. I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession; so, three days after I graduated from the school of medicine, I left for Spain to write another book. I did not realize, at that time, that I was taking a great risk.51.The text is a talk given by the author when ( ) .A.he was 18B.his first novel was publishedC.he graduated from the school of medicineD.he was at an advanced age正确答案:D52.The author graduated from the school of medicine when he was ( ).A.18B.28C.23D.30正确答案:C53.“And I could always pawn my microscope for three pounds”means the author could always ( ) .A.exchange his microscope for three poundsB.borrow his microscope and pays three poundsC.have his microscope repaired with three poundsD.lend his microscope for three pounds正确答案:A54.In the sentence “I could be able to live very well, pay my fees, buy my necessary instruments, clothe myself...” , the word “clothe” means ( ).A.wear clothesB.make clothes forC.wash clothes forD.buy clothes for正确答案:D55.The author wanted to be a writer because ( ).A.he liked to take risksB.he found it easier to make a living by writingC.he was interested in writingD.he could not study medicine well正确答案:CHow often one hears children wishing they were grown-up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and thehappiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets. Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the children-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.56.People can experience happiness if they ( ).A.always think of the past and regret itB.value the presentC.are no longer youngD.become old and have much experience正确答案:B57.When people were young, they used to ( ).A.be in charge of many businessesB.have few things to think about and take onC.look after their younger sisters and brothersD.face a lot of difficulties正确答案:B58.The pains of children lie in the fact that ( ).A.no one helps them make right decisionsB.they are often beaten by their parentsC.they can not be accepted and praised by othersD.they are not allowed to do what they like to do正确答案:D59.Children are usually happy because ( ).A.old people lose interest in themB.they are free to do wrongC.they are familiar with everything going on around themD.things are new to them正确答案:D60.Which of the following is NOT needed for a young man to be happy?A.Hard workB.Being free from troubleC.WealthD.Health正确答案:CClozeMore than forty thousand readers told us what they looked for in close friendships, what they expected【C1】______friends, what they were willing to give in 【C2】______, and how satisfied they were【C3】______the quality of their friendships, the【C4】______give little comfort to social critics.

He was a business man and he helped them improve production. At last his health problems became too serious. He left and formed his own company.With his wife and mother, he founded Arnold-Bakery. They tried new recipes(配方), changing the kind and amount of flour used. This enabled Arnold to work there. The bread, made with unbleached flour(标准粉)was baked in a brick oven(烘箱).

The most perfectly formed termites, both male and female, make up the reproductive class. They have eyes, hard body walls, and fully devloped wings.A pair of reproductive termites founds the colony. When new reproductive termites develop, they leave to form another colony. They use their wings only this one timeand then break them off.The worker termites are small, blind,and wingless, with soft bodies. They make up the majority of the colony and do all the work. Soldiers are also wingless and blind but are larger than the workers and have hard heads and strong jaws and legs. They defend the colony and are cared for by the workers.The male and female of the reproductive class remain inside a closed in cell where the female lays thousands of eggs. The workers place the eggs in cells and care for them.71.

The word “founds”in paragraph 2 means“____”.A: sets up B: looks for C: finds D: discovers ( )阅读理解( E )Primitive (of the earliest times) man would, the story goes, eat the heart of animals he killed.He would eat the heart of a lion to gain the lion's courage.“Impossible,”you may say. Well, listen to this from the world of science. Dr Georges Ungar of Baylor University in Houston says that learned information canbe passed to other animals from the ones who did the learning.Dr Ungar trained(训练) rats to like lighted boxes better than dark boxes. How did he do this to rats that usually like the dark? He shocked (使震惊) any rat which went into a dark area. After five to eight days the rats learned that a more peaceful life could be lived in lighted boxes. They got to love the light.Then he killed the rats. He injected(注射) part of their trained brains into 638 mice. These had shown they liked the dark. He put parts of the brains of untrained rats into 132 other mice.These mice also liked the dark.Result? Animals that got the trained brains spent 63 seconds in the dark. Animals that got the untrained brains spent 118 seconds in the dark. The figures (=numbers) are very important. Normally only one mouse out of 5000 would choose the light by chance.Maybe eating the heart of a lion might not be a bad idea!76. Primitive man thought eating the lion's heart could make him _____.A: fat B: cruel C: brave D: healthy( )77. Dr Ungar thinks that primitive man's idea was____.A: mistaken B: reasonableC: impossible D: not scientific( )78. According to the experiment,_____.A: only one mouse likes the lightB: 5000 mice like the darkC: the 132 mice like the light than the darkD: the 638 mice spent less time in the dark than the 132 mice( )79. What did Dr Ungar seem to prove?A: It is possible to physically pass training, or learning, from one animal to another.B: He got his rats to like the light better by keeping their boxes under light.C: Normally rats like the dark.D: Animal's hearts cannot be eaten.( )80. The last sentence of the passage implies(暗指) that_____.A: the experiment can be made in other forms of trainingB: the lion is a good animalC: the lion's heart means courageD: we shouldn't kill the lion to keep the balance of nature( )参参 考考 答答 案案Ⅰ.1.

This is no longer adream!Joby's company was allowed to start testing its new airtaxi.An air taxi is a small aircraft(飞行器): But unlike a plane,it doesn't need a long runway. It's like a helicopter.Joby hopes to start carrying passengers for money by 2025.It plans to charge about two US dollars per kilometer.The company has set up a program with a big airline (航空公司) .The program will fly people from their homes to the airport.It will start in New York and Los Angeles first.Joby's air taxi will be flown by a pilot.It can carry up to four other passengers.The air taxi can reach a top speed of 320 kilometers per hour.It can go about 160 kilometers before its batteries run out. Joby says its air taxis are much cheaper and quieter than helicopters.Still, some people have worries.They think these aircraft may add noise and traffic to our skies.Many other companies around the world are also working on air taxis.France even plans to use a few air taxis during next summer's Olympic Games.But there is still a lot of work·to do before air taxis become common.For example,governments need to make rules about where and when these aircraft can fly.英语模拟试卷(八) 第3页(共8页)9.How docs the writer lead into the topic "the air taxi"in Paragraph 1?A.By stating a fact.B.By telling a storyC.By asking a question.D.By adding information.10.What docs the underlined word “charge” mean in Paragraph 3?A.give awayB.ask forC.take offD.make up11.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.The future and market of using air taxis.B.The company making and testing air taxis.C.The strength and weakness of taking air taxis.D.The worries about the safety of flying air taxis.12.In which part of a school newspaper can we find this text?A.AI History.B.Technology Life.C.Happy MoviesD.Pioneering Scientists.DWhether it's an important exam or simply just too much to do,we've all got stress.It's common for some people to eat a lot when stressed.Others,however,may be left without a wish to eat.But why do some people eat more when they're upset and others eat less?There may be an easy answer to this question:Short-term stress is likely to make us eat less while long-term stress makes us eat more.It's all in how our brains become aware of the stressor(压力源).Just like a danger to your life,very strong or near stress leads to either fight back or run away.For example,in life-or-death situations,your brain produces adrenaline(肾上腺素)to help improve the performance of your muscles.Your brain makes eating put off so that your body can give most of its energy to make sure you continue to live.Even if you aren't physically(身体上的) in danger,your brain under stress might react as if this were true.On the other hand,people may find themselves eating more.This happens when they're worried about something but do not feel dangerous in the near future,Low-grade stress that lasts over time like this makes animals and people go for comfort foods.They eat for joy,not,for need.Whether you eat less or more under stress,there are ways.to feel better,Exercise,healthy diets and social support are good ways to control stress.Above all,a healthy,brain is a healthy you.英语模拟试卷(八) 第4页(共8页)13.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A.Eating can greatly influence stress.B.Stress has nothing to do with eating.C.Stress may increase fast when e ating.D.Eating and stress are closely connected.14.Why does the writer give an example of“life-or-death situation”in Paragraph 3?A.To make readers know why stress is useful.B.To better explain how brain reacts to stress.C.To give information about short-term stress.D.To tell long-term stress from short-term stress.15.What do we know about long-term stress?A.Young people suffer from it.B.It causes less harm to people.C.It makes people overweight.D.People under it eat for pleasure.16.Which can help to deal with stress?A.Staying at home alone.B.Eating high-calorie foods.C.Turning to your friends.D.Exercising your brain regularly.第二节阅读短文,从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,其中有一个多余的选项。

It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked。

湖北省2023届高三下学期高考冲刺模拟试卷(八)英语试卷(含答案)
湖北省2023届高三下学期高考冲刺模拟试卷(八)英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________ 一、阅读理解About Lexington, KentuckyGetting HereLexington is accessible by air with approximately 100 direct and nonstop flights. Blue Grass Airport welcomes travelers with one of the most beautiful air approaches in the nation. Getting AroundMajor car rental companies have desks and branches around the town.

Lexington was founded in 1775, seventeen years before Kentucky became a state. William McConnell and a group of frontier explorers were camped at a natural spring when word came that the first battle of the American Revolution had been fought in Massachusetts. In honor of the battle, the group named their state “Lexington”. By 1820, Lexington was one of the largest and wealthiest towns west of the Allegheny Mountains.Alcohol LawsThe minimum drinking age is 21. Alcoholic drinks may be sold in licensed bars and restaurants from 6 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday and from 11 a.m. Sunday to 2:30 a.m. Monday.

Drinking alcohol after midnight.My philosophy professor was a typical unusual philosopher, whose behavior was somewhat strange. His disheveled (蓬乱的) appearance was highlighted by a well-worn tweed (粗花呢) sport coat and poor-fitting thick glasses, which often rested on the tip of his nose. Every now and then, as most philosophy professors do, he would go off on one of those existential “what's the meaning of life” discussions. Many of those discussions went nowhere, but there were a few that really hit home. This was one of them:“Respond to the following questions by a show of hands,” my professor instructed.“How many of you can tell me something about your parents?” Everyone's hand went up.“How many of you can tell me something about your grandparents?” About thre e-fourths of the class raised their hands.“How many of you can tell me something about your great-grandparents?” Two out of sixty students raised their hands.“Look around the room, ” he said. “In just two short generations hardly any of us even know who our own great-grandparents were. Oh sure, maybe we have an old photograph tucked (收藏) away in a musty cigar box or know the classic family story about how one of them walked five miles to school barefoot. But how many of us really know who they were, what they thought, what they were proud of, what they were afraid of, or what they dreamed about? Think about that. Within three generations our ancestors are all but forgotten. Will this happen to you?”“Here’s a better question. Look ahead three generations. You are long gone. Instead of you sitting in this room, now it’s your great-grandchildren. What will they have to say about you? Will they know about you? Or will you be forgotten, too?”“Is your life going to be a warning or an example? What legacy will y ou leave? Thechoice is yours. Class dismissed.”Nobody rose from their seats for a good five minutes.4、Which of the following can best describe the professor?A. Untidy but considerate.B. Fashionable and helpful.C. Neat and responsible.D. Odd but thoughtful.5、Why does the professor mention “photograph” and “family story” in Paragraph 6?A. To share his own interesting stories.B. To show people's understanding of the ancestors are shallow.C. To suggest new ways to know the ancestors.D. To prove they are good ways to know the ancestors.6、What can we know about this philosophy class?A. The professor was unsatisfied with our answers.B. It went nowhere like the previous ones.C. It aroused our thinking about life.D. The professor offered us his answers to the questions.7、What is the best title of the passage?A. A lesson about legacy.B. A gap among three generations.C. Our memorable ancestors.D. Our philosophy professor.Online classes began to be popularized just a few decades ago. They are advertised as a way for adults to finish their education and students to learn the material at their own pace--it is far more suitable for people with busy schedules.But after being enrolled in an online course last fall semester, I came to realize online classes were merely a means to fulfil course requirements.First of all. students lack the desire to learn and they simply complete their assignments to receive credit for a passing grade rather than genuinely engage with the course material.As online courses tend to have more than 100 students, most of the assignments are short and simple. They are not designed for students to interact with the material in depth but designed to be graded easily to accommodate such a large number of students.Perhaps the biggest disadvantage of taking an online class is the absence of face-to-face interaction between the teacher and their students. Live sessions are infrequent and are often scheduled during the middle of the day when students have to attend other classes or work. The office hours of the professor may also be during inconvenient times for many students as well. Most interaction with the professor has to be through email which is often impersonal.It is nearly impossible for students to build a relationship with their professor.There is also little interaction among students. It can be harder to create study groups and form relationships with their peers.Online classes also require either a computer or laptop and a reliable Internet connection. Not all students have access to these types of resources, whether it is for financial or other reasons, and some students can be put at a disadvantage.Offering online classes certainly helps students who would otherwise not be able to attend classroom sessions. However, they fail to provide a genuine education with an emphasis on convenience rather than critical thinking. We need restructured online classes in which students can have a learning experience that will actually provide quality education.8、What does the author say about students enrolled in online classes?A. They are unmotivated to learn.B. They can access course materials easily.C. They can learn at their own pace.D. They rarely fulfil the course requirements.9、What does the author think of online course assignments?A. They are based on easily accessible material.B. They are meant to facilitate interaction.C. They are made convenient to mark.D. They are given to accommodate students' needs.10、What does the author say is one disadvantage of online classes?A. They are frequently scheduled at irregular times.B. They provide little chance for students to build relationships with each other.C. They tend to increase professors’ burden of responding to students’ emails.D. They make professors offices much less accessible.11、What does the author think makes up a key part of genuine education?A. Acquisition of useful knowledge.B. Training of real-life skills on campus.C. Development of students personalities.D. Cultivation of analytical thinking ability.Japan is getting tough about recycling—and not in the paper and plastic kind of way. Recently, the country requires that all electronic goods—TVs, VCRs, stereos, and more—be recycled. But recycling will not be left to consumers, instead, the devices will be sent to theoriginal manufacturer for proper disposal.The new law poses(造成) a few challenges to manufacturers who are now rushing to set up collection networks and perfecting techniques to disassemble and recycle older products. With an eye toward the future, they are also integrating easily recycled materials into new products. Plastics, a major component of most electronic products, pose a particular obstacle because their quality becomes worse and worse with age, losing strength and flexibility even if reprocessed. NEC Corp, overcomes this problem by creating a plastics sandwich, in which the filling is 100 percent recycled plastic and the outer layers a mixture of 14 percent recycled material. The resulting plastic has sufficient strength and toughness for use as a case for desktop PCs. The company, in cooperation with plastic maker Sumitomo Dow, has also developed a new plastic, which engineers claim retains(保持) its mechanical properties through repeated recycling. NEC uses the plastic, which is also flame-retardant (阻燃的) in battery cases for notebook PCs.Meanwhile, Matsushita Electric, maker of the Panasonic brand, is avoiding plastic in favor of magnesium (镁). Magnesium, says the company, is ideal for recycling because it retains its original strength through repeated reprocessing. Matsushita has developed molding techniques to form magnesium into the case for a 21-inch TV. Unfortunately, the magnesium case and energy-saving features make the TV about twice as expensive as an ordinary model. The company hopes, however, that increased use of magnesium will eventually bring prices down.12、According to the present regulations of Japan, the recycling of paper and plastic will be the responsibility of______.A. the manufacturersB. the governmentC. the sellersD. the consumers13、Which of the following is NOT the character of plastics?A. It retains its original strength through reprocessing.B. Most electronic products contain plastics.C. Plastics will lose flexibility after a certain period of time.D. Recycled plastics can be integrated into new products14、According to the passage, the term “plastic sandwich” refers to_____.A. a kind of plastics made of 100% recycled materials.B. a kind of plastics with maximum strength and flexibility.C. a kind of plastics with different integration in each layer.D. a kind of sandwich-shaped toy made of plastics.15、In the passage, what can be implied _____.A. magnesium must be better than the plastics.B. 21-inch TV with magnesium case isn’t very popular so far.C. magnesium is an ideal material for the case of TV.D. NEC Corp has created a plastics sandwich.二、七选五16、Home on the WayPeople need homes. Children assume their parents’ place as home. Boarders call school “home” on weekdays. Married couples work together to build new homes and travelers have no place to call “home”, at least for a few nights.①_________? Don’t they have the right to a home? Of course they do.Some regular travelers take their own belongings like bed sheets, pillowcases and family photos to make them feel like home no matter where they are. Some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with service and attendants. ②___________.Furthermore, driving a camping car during one’s travels and sleepi ng in the vehicle at night is just like home—only mobile!And how about keeping relationships while in transit(运输中)? ③_______. Some send letters and postcards, or even photos. Others may just call and say Hi just to let their friends know that they’re stil l alive and well. People find ways to keep in touch. Making friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home. ④________Nowadays, fewer people are working in their local towns, so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries, there is always another “home” waiting to be found.⑤_______, we can make the place we stay “home”. A.Hostels(招待所) provide a clean safe place to stay while you are travelling the world B.Others may simply put some flowers by the hotel window to make things more homely C.Backpackers in youth hostels may become very good friends, even closer than siblings(手足)D.So how about people who have to travel for extended periods of timeE.No matter where you go in the world, hotels are there, tooF.Some keep contact with their friends via InternetG.Wherever we are, with just a little bit of effort and imagination三、完形填空(15空)The snow was falling and the roads had become dangerous.

They never quit looking for a way to get where they ④__________(suppose) to go.Second, ants think wint er all summer. That’s an important viewpoint.

You’ve got to think stor ms when it’s fine. You’ve got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead.The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think summer all winter.

The summit was to mark the 25th anniversary of President Nixon’s journey to China, which was the turning point in China-U. S. relations. The Youth Summit was aimed at increasing the friendship between young students of the two countries through visits and discussions. Seventy-five American students were selected to visit China. They also visited the Nixon Library on July 21 before leaving for Beijing the next day. The head of the Library said he was pleased to see the American and Chinese students talking and laughing together. One Chinese student said, “I didn’t find it particularly difficult to talk with Americans. We have our differences, but we have a lot in common. Dialogue is good for us.”20.“Youth Summit” (line 3, paragraph 2) refers to______.A.visits to the Nixon LibraryB.the Chinese students visit to the USAC.a meeting discussing relations between China and USD.activities to strengthen the ties between the Chinese and American students 正确答案:D21.The student from Shanghai thought about the time 25 years ago because it was when Nixon______.A.diedB.visited ChinaC.became US PresidentD.started building the library in his name正确答案:B22.The text is mainly about______.A.the China-US relationsB.the Nixon LibraryC.President NixonD.the Youth Summit正确答案:DAs the 1800s ended, dance, like most other arts, was fairly conventional. If people went to a dance performance, they probably went to ballet. This dance had precise moves and rigid postures. People enjoyed ballet, and it was widely accepted. However, at around that time a young woman from San Francisco entered the scene. She would change dance forever. Her name was Isadora Duncan. Duncan was born into an artistic family. Even as a child she loved dancing and taught dance classes for young children. She quickly developed some very strong ideas for what dance should be. Duncan took her inspiration from nature. She loved the Pacific Ocean and the towering pine trees of her native California. She wanted to represent these natural elements in her dances. She also looked at people’s natural movements, especially the movements of children. Running, skipping, kneeling —these were things done by children all over the world. Duncan incorporated them into dance routines. She believed that older dances were rather lifeless; hers, she felt, should express emotion. When Duncan performed her dances in places like Chicago and New York, she caused a sensation. People were not prepared to see a young woman in a thin, flowing dress running and leaping across the stage barefoot. She had to go to Europe for acceptance. Received more favorably in London, she gradually opened dance schools in many cities. Soon she was touring and performing everywhere. Her ideas paved the way for what we know as modern dance today. Duncan’s deathwas as startling as her life. As she rode in a open sports car in France, the long-scarf around her neck tangled in the car’s wheels and she was strangled.23.This passage is mainly about______.A.Isadora Duncan’s early lifeB.Isadora Duncan’s contribution to danceC.why people in the 1 800s liked balletD.Isadora Duncan’s death正确答案:B24.Duncan got her best early acceptance in______.A.ChicagoB.San FranciscoC.New YorkD.London正确答案:D25.Early audiences found Duncan’s performances______.A.foolishB.boringC.worthwhileD.shocking正确答案:D26.The word “However”at the beginning of the second paragraph signals______.A.that similar information is to followB.an argumentC.a contrastD.a description正确答案:CEarly one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle. Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the sameproblem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into a rage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practiced sewing machine. Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre. To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious (无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.27.According to the passage, Elias Howe was______.A.the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleepB.much more hard-working than other inventorsC.the first person to design a sewing machine that really workedD.the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams正确答案:C28.The problem Howe was trying to solve was______.A.what kind of thread to useB.how to design a needle which would not breakC.where to put the needleD.how to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle正确答案:D29.Thomas Edison is spoken of because______.A.he also tried to invent a sewing machineB.he got some of his ideas from dreamsC.he was one of Howe’s best friendsD.he also had difficulty in falling asleep正确答案:B30.Dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”because______.A.strange images are used to communicate ideasB.images which have no meaning are usedC.we can never understand the real meaningD.only specially trained people can understand them正确答案:AIn one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The “spider-story” is often told. Robert Bruce, the leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times to span (跨过) the gap. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone to defeat the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked why he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have no failure. Now I know 50 000 ways it won’t work.”So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top form yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time? Second, is the goal you’re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question, “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?” This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be doing anyway. The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it’s a part of life. Learn to live with yourself, even though you maybe have failed.31.This passage deals with______.A.failure and successB.two sides of failureC.the “spider-story”D.the invention of light bulb正确答案:B32.The first paragraph is mainly about______.A.the value of failureB.how people failC.famous failuresD.how not to fail正确答案:A33.The example of Robert Bruce shows that______.A.failure must come before successB.we should face failure directly and overcome difficultiesC.nature will help us if we let itD.people who fail have plenty of company正确答案:B34.The thing the writer does NOT tell you to do to deal with failure is to______.A.check out your goals to see if they are right for youB.think about failure as part of your lifeC.think about failure to find out what went wrongD.avoid things that are beyond you正确答案:D35.Even if we have failed, we should______.A.not think about it any moreB.learn to accept itC.learn to live with othersD.take it easy正确答案:BClozeThere is a small film society in my village.

Reading Comprehension (2×20 points)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead.”Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt—a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why.There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.Myth Number One: Safety belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.Truth: Sorry, but studies show that people knocked unconscious due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.Myth Number Two: Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.61. Why did Elizabeth say to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead”?A. He was driving at great speed.B. He was running across the street.C. He didn’t have his safety belt on.D. He didn’t take his medicine on time.62. The reason father was in a hurry to get home was that he ______.A. wasn’t feeling very wellB. hated to drive in the darkC. wanted to take some exerciseD. didn’t want to be caught by the police63. Which of the following statements is supported in this passage?A. 50% of the US population forgot to wear safety belt every day.B. The first safety belts in cars appeared forty years ago.C. Safety belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.D. Not wearing safety belts will be fined.64. Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe ______.A. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accidentB. they will be unable to think clearly in an accidentC. they will be caught when help comesD. cars catch fire easily65. What is the advice given in the text?A. Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.B. Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.C. Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.D. Drive slowly while you’re not wearing a safety belt.Passage 2Borrowing to start a business is not easy. Getting a bank loan, particularly for a new small business, is like going through the eye of a needle.Banks favor established business people with a solid credit rating and a large bank account. They should also have experience in the business they propose to enter, and offer well-prepared business plans that show the ability to repay the loans. If you are not such a person, then you need to double your preparations to convince the banker to lend you that much needed start-up capital. If your business is new and small, bankers will need to know as much as possible about you and your business.However, many small business owners often make the mistake of not being well prepared when going to the bank to apply for the loan. Surprisingly, many loan applicants don’t even have the slightest idea how or when they intend to repay the money they request. Often they don’t even know much money they need. When asked how much money they want to borrow, many people give these two common responses: “How much money can I get?” and “As much as possible.” Is it any wonder that lenders say no?So the most important thing is do your homework before you ask for a loan.66. By saying “Getting a bank loan… is like going through the eye of a needle”, the writer emphasizes ______.A. the ability to borrow from a bankB. the importance of borrowing moneyC. the difficulty of getting a bank loanD. the start-up of a new small business67. Banks prefer to give a loan to those who ______.A. are in need of start-up capitalB. have the ability to pay it backC. own an old and large businessD. haven’t borrowed money before68. What will bankers do before they give a loan to a new and small business?A. Help fill out a special form for getting a loan.B. Request the business to pay a small deposit.C. Get enough information about the business.D. Estimate the size of the loan they will give.69.

The writer advises that before applying for a bank loan, the applicant should ______.A. thoroughly prepareB. do some market researchC. learn a lot about the bankD. know the upper limit of the loanPassage 3Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent polls(民意测试), sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy. Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness. It is not predictable nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunity to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain. Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those with a good sex life are happier in general, but those who have a loving, affectionate relationship are happier than those who rely on sex alone. Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factor.It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time.Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods yet theyare not necessarily happier adults when they grow up.The best formula for happiness is to be able to develop the ability to tolerate frustration, to have a personal involvement and commitment, and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.71. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. happiness is predictableB. a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happyC. happiness is not necessarily connected to one’s situation in societyD. the rich are likely to be happier than the middle-income group72. People with college education ______.A. have less opportunity to control their livesB. have more opportunity to control their livesC. are not happier than those who have only an education at high schoolD. are much happier than those who did not graduate from high school73. According to the article, happiness is greatly dependent upon ______.A. a happy childhoodB. great wealthC. a college degreeD. a feeling that conditions are becoming for the better74. Which of the following is most likely to contribute to happiness?A. Being exceptionally good-looking.B. Having a good paying job.C. Having a loving, affectionate relationship.D. Meeting lots of people.75. Which of the following attitudes of feelings is most likely to be found in happy people?A. Having self-esteem.B. Being sure of keeping everything they already have.C. Never being jealous.D. Knowing how to be charming.Passage 4That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold.I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door didI realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?”I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye.“Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 A.M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.76. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sick.B. Fortunate and helpful.C. Satisfied and cheerful.D. Disappointed and helpless.77.

Soldiers are also wingless and blind but are larger than the workers and have hard heads and strong jaws and legs. They defend the colony and are cared for by the workers.The male and female of the reproductive class remain inside a closed in cell where the female lays thousands of eggs.

The word “founds”in paragraph 2 means“____”.A: sets up B: looks for C: finds D: discovers ( )阅读理解( E )Primitive (of the earliest times) man would, the story goes, eat the heart of animals he killed.He would eat the heart of a lion to gain the lion's courage.“Impossible,”you may say. Well, listen to this from the world of science. Dr Georges Ungar of Baylor University in Houston says that learned information canbe passed to other animals from the ones who did the learning.Dr Ungar trained(训练) rats to like lighted boxes better than dark boxes. How did he do this to rats that usually like the dark? He shocked (使震惊) any rat which went into a dark area. After five to eight days the rats learned that a more peaceful life could be lived in lighted boxes. They got to love the light.Then he killed the rats. He injected(注射) part of their trained brains into 638 mice. These had shown they liked the dark. He put parts of the brains of untrained rats into 132 other mice.These mice also liked the dark.Result? Animals that got the trained brains spent 63 seconds in the dark. Animals that got the untrained brains spent 118 seconds in the dark. The figures (=numbers) are very important. Normally only one mouse out of 5000 would choose the light by chance.Maybe eating the heart of a lion might not be a bad idea!76. Primitive man thought eating the lion's heart could make him _____.A: fat B: cruel C: brave D: healthy( )77. Dr Ungar thinks that primitive man's idea was____.A: mistaken B: reasonableC: impossible D: not scientific( )78.

What did Dr Ungar seem to prove?A: It is possible to physically pass training, or learning, from one animal to another.B: He got his rats to like the light better by keeping their boxes under light.C: Normally rats like the dark.D: Animal's hearts cannot be eaten.( )80. The last sentence of the passage implies(暗指) that_____.A: the experiment can be made in other forms of trainingB: the lion is a good animalC: the lion's heart means courageD: we shouldn't kill the lion to keep the balance of nature( )参参 考考 答答 案案Ⅰ.1.
