ago was the chance to see his favorite bands perform live.But he and his father,Jeffrey,who accompanied him to the festival,signed up for Lollapalooza's text﹣message network,and thus learned about a guitar﹣playing contest taking place there.Dennis,14,entered and won a new Gibson guitar.Tad Kubler,the lead guitarist for the Hold Steady,who was involved in the contest,then invited Dennis to perform with the band as it closed its set.''Having your cellphone everywhere is important for everybody now,''Dennis said.''I never dreamed of playing Lollapalooza.''The modern mobile phone﹣﹣equipped with camera,Internet access and more﹣﹣has proved to be a liability for some performers,like Akon and Beyonce,whose regrettable moments were captured by fans and then immortalized on YouTube and similar sites.But for the fans themselves,mobile phones are becoming as important an accessory as an all﹣access wristband.Beyond using them to record a short souvenir,they are becoming a ticket to everything from free ringtones to V.I.P.treatment.On Gwen Stefani's recent tour,as many as 20 percent of the audience at some shows agreed to pay 99cents for text messages and the chance to win better seats,according to the mobile marketing company Impact Mobile.At festivals like Lollapalooza,thousands of fans sign up to receive continuous updates from concert organizers about promotions and special events.Even when there is no fee,the service comes at a price:fans must give their phone numbers to marketers.And purists﹣﹣and some artists﹣﹣disapprove of fans pecking out text messages or snapping pictures during performances.Still,the arrival of a new generation of phone﹣based activities could add a new twist to live events at a time when rising ticket prices have discouraged many concertgoers.21.What is the passage mainly talking about?A.The Lollapalooza music festivalB.How to use your mobile phones correctlyC.How to send and receive text message by mobile phones.D.Mobile phones are very important for fans to get information22.How did Dennis get the information about the guitar﹣playing contest?A.His father Jeffrey told him about itB.The lead guitarist,Tad Kubler,told him about itC.The Lollapalooza's text﹣message network told him about it.D.He got the information from the local TV station23.The author seems to believe thatA.Dennis Vorreyer was fortunate to perform with the guitar band.B.phone﹣based activities will become a turning point for the live events.C.today cell phone is important and indispensable for everybody.D.fans shouldn't peck out text message or snap pictures during performances.24.Active Challenge is a weight loss program exclusively for young women.The burden of being overweight is heavier than just the extra pounds.We use outdoor adventure

go.But,they can also cause a lot of problems,send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost.Many times,the driver is to blame.Sometimes a GPS error is responsible.Most often,says Barry Brown,an expert in human﹣computer interaction,it is a combination of the two.We spoke to Mr.Brown by Skype.He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States.There he borrowed a GPS﹣equipped car to use during his stay.Barry Brown:"And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination.And,then it wasn't until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived.They actually put their home address in.So again,the GPS is kind of'garbage in garbage out'".Mr.Brown says this is a common human error.But,he says,what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings,or failures,of GPS equipment.BarryBrown:"One problem with a lot of the GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn.Because they just give you the next turn,sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it's going to the wrong place."Barry Brown once worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh.The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people's cars.They wrote a paper based on their research.It is called"The Normal,Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS".It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers.These include maps that are outdated,incorrect or difficult to understand.They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers,passengers and GPS systems work together.28.In Paragraph 2,Mr.Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to .A.build up his own reputationB.laugh at his stupid friendC.prove the GPS system is only garbageD.describe an example of human error29.Which of the followings is one of the shortcomings of GPS equipment?A.It tells the driver to turn once at a time.B.It gives the driver the overview.C.Its screen is too small to be seen clearly.D.It is only suitable for passive drivers.30.Which of the following statements would Barry Brown most likely agree with?A.GPS units are to blame for most GPS service failures.B.We should introduce higher standards for the driving license.C.Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS systems.D.Drivers,GPS systems and passengers should unite to improve GPS systems.31.What is Mr.Brown's attitude towards GPS?A.Unconcerned.B.Objective.C.Negative.D.Critical.32.Beavers are a very unique species in the world of nature and wildlife﹣﹣they are architects.Their dams are fine examples of engineering.A pair of beavers will build a dam,using branches,mud and stones,across a river.The water held back by the dam flows over the bank on either side of the river,flooding the nearby ground and forming a pond.At some point in the pond the beavers then build their home,which is called a lodge.This consists of a cone﹣shaped(锥状的)pipe of branches and sticks of two to six feet in length held together with mud and stones,the top of which projects above the waterline.It serves as a shelter from the bad weather,a safety from enemies and a base for food supplies to be drawn upon in winter.From an engineering point of view the lodge could hardly be improved.Not only does it contain a central room just above water level,which is accessible only through underwater tunnels,but it also has"walls",one or more escape tunnels and an air hole at the top,which controls the temperature inside and gives air﹣conditioning.It is altogether a clever piece of construction,with all modern conveniences.It is,in fact,better protected against the effects of flooding than many human houses.Trees are essential to beavers.They eat the bark on the upper branches.But they must first fell the trees,using their four front teeth.With these sharp tools,it takes only a few minutes to cut down a tree.The engineering skill of beavers is to a large extent a result of their ability to use their front paws as hands.A female will carry her young held under her chin (下巴) with her front paws,walking on her hind legs.A similar method is used by all beavers when transporting stones or mud,although they also carry such materials on their broad flat trails.The fore﹣paws are also used for digging and for dragging heavier pieces of wood.32.Which of the following pictures best shows the beaver's lodge?A.B.C.D.33.Which of the following sentences is Not the reason why trees are important to beavers?A.They live on the barks on the upper branches of trees.B.They use branches to transport mud and stones.C.They build their lodge with the branches.D.They use trees'branches to build dams.34. The underlined word"fell"in Paragraph 4 probably means .A.cut downB.move awayC.cut upD.move about35. This text is mainly about .A.the beaver's lodgeB.the beaver's engineering skillsC.the beaver's damD.the beaver's intelligence.36.第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项.Everyone knows that good time management skills are important to students if they want to do well in school.(36)The skills listed below are quite important.You should have the ability to say"no".A party this weekend?A cool club to join?An overnight trip on Saturday?A quick pizza with your classmates that turns into three hours of just hanging out?Learning to say"no"can save you a lot of time.But it's not easy to say"no".You should develop some good skills in saying"no".(37)You shouldn't spare time for all the fun activities.High schools are amazing because there is always something fun for you to take part in.Unfortunately,you cannot spend time on all of the fun activities.(38)You can go there when you finish your homework.In this way,you needn't feel guilty about enjoying yourself.(39)Some students like putting off things.This is a bad habit.You may end up with too many tasks one day.If you have a task,don't wait to get started until the last week,because you may not know what to do at all if you have too many tasks and you may end up in crisis.(40)Staying up a little too late?Maybe not eating a healthy dinner every night of the week?In order to keep in good health,you have to check on time so as to be energetic.Practicing a little self﹣care can really go a long way towards making sure you can have enough passion for your work with your limited time while in school.A.Choose the one that you like most.B.You should keep your health in check.C.You should avoid putting off your tasks.D.Try your best to get rid of your bad habits.E.It is very good for your time management.F.Here are some tips to help you learn to say"no".G.But what skills are needed for good time management?第三部分英语知识运用41.第一节完形填空At the age of forty﹣five,my usually well﹣ordered life became full of changes.After

favorite bands perform live.But he and his father,Jeffrey,who accompanied him to the festival,signed up for Lollapalooza's text﹣message network,and thus learned about a guitar﹣playing contest taking place there.Dennis,14,entered and won a new Gibson guitar.Tad Kubler,the lead guitarist for the Hold Steady,who was involved in the contest,then invited Dennis to perform with the band as it closed its set.''Having your cellphone everywhere is important for everybody now,''Dennis said.''Inever dreamed of playing Lollapalooza.''The modern mobile phone﹣﹣equipped with camera,Internet access and more﹣﹣has proved to be a liability for some performers,like Akon and Beyonce,whose regrettable moments were captured by fans and then immortalized on YouTube and similar sites.But for the fans themselves,mobile phones are becoming as important an accessory as an all﹣access wristband.Beyond using them to record a short souvenir,they are becoming a ticket to everything from free ringtones to V.I.P.treatment.On Gwen Stefani's recent tour,as many as 20 percent of the audience at some shows agreed to pay 99cents for text messages and the chance to win better seats,according to the mobile marketing company Impact Mobile.At festivals like Lollapalooza,thousands of fans sign up to receive continuous updates from concert organizers about promotions and special events.Even when there is no fee,the service comes at a price:fans must give their phone numbers to marketers.And purists﹣﹣and some artists﹣﹣disapprove of fans pecking out text messages or snapping pictures during performances.Still,the arrival of a new generation of phone﹣based activities could add a new twist to live events at a time when rising ticket prices have discouraged many concertgoers.21.What is the passage mainly talking about? DA.The Lollapalooza music festivalB.How to use your mobile phones correctlyC.How to send and receive text message by mobile phones.D.Mobile phones are very important for fans to get information22.How did Dennis get the information about the guitar﹣playing contest? C A.His father Jeffrey told him about itB.The lead guitarist,Tad Kubler,told him about itC.The Lollapalooza's text﹣message network told him about it.D.He got the information from the local TV station23.The author seems to believe that BA.Dennis Vorreyer was fortunate to perform with the guitar band.B.phone﹣based activities will become a turning point for the live events.C.today cell phone is important and indispensable for everybody.D.fans shouldn't peck out text message or snap pictures during performances.【考点】O6:社会文化类阅读.【分析】短文主要通过介绍一场摇滚乐表演,人们用手机可以随时知道现场的情况,说明现代生活中手机扮演着越来越重要的角色.【解答】21.D,主旨大意题,短文主要通过介绍一场摇滚乐表演,人们用手机可以随时知道现场的情况,说明现代生活中手机扮演着越来越重要的角色,故答案为D.22.C,细节理解题,根据句子signed up for Lollapalooza's text﹣message network,and thus learned about a guitar﹣playing contest taking place there可知,Dennis知道吉他比赛是由Lollapalooza音乐节的短信得知的,故答案为C.23.B,细节理解题,根据文章最后一句the arrival of a new generation of phone﹣based activities could add a new twist to live events 可知,作者认为以手机为基础的活动将成为现场直播活动的转折点,故答案为B.24.Active Challenge is a weight loss program exclusively for young women.The burden of being overweight is heavier than just the extra pounds.We use outdoor adventure to challenge the girls,to give them something to draws strength from.Because you'll be losing weight alongside young women just like you,you'll find no one laughing at you and you'll help each other.At Active Challenge you'll make lifelong friends with young women at your own age,learn to love new adventurous activities.Unlike any other weight loss program,Active Challenge is designed,so you'll lose weight and have the strategies and skills to keep the weight off forever.Active。

But the pair still understand English better than Chinese, and prefer American biscuits to Chinese bread.A zoo-keeper said that his main concern is that the pair are so addicted to American biscuits that everything they eat — from bamboos to apples — has to be mixed with biscuits. They even want to snack on ( 零食) biscuits when drinking water.The zoo-keeper is trying to wean them off their biscuit habit, gradually replacing the American food with Chinese bread. Mei Huan is adapting, but Mei Lun doesn’t want to touch the unfamiliar bread.Mei Lun is the livelier of the two, often jumping onto the roof and hanging upside down from a rail, but her slightly younger sister Mei Huan is calmer, preferring to sit still, observe her new environment and occasionally snack on bamboo.A language barrier is also reported. While the pair respond to their own names, and understand some English phrases such as “ come here, ” they don’t understand the Sichuan dialect of Chinese.The news caused some laughter on Chinese social media, with some users commenting that the pandas would soon get used to Sichuan’s famously spicy cuisine.25. Based on the passage, which statement do you think is right?A. The panda twins can fit in well in Sichuan.B. The panda twins are only fond of Sichuan food and dishes.C. The panda twins have been used to the new environment very quickly.D. It’s hard for the panda twins to get used to the new environment soon.26. What does the underlined part “ wean them off” in the fourth paragraph mean?A. help them get rid of.B. help them form.C. help them strengthen.D. help them keep.A. Mei Huan mainly eats bambooB. Mei Lun is living a more active lifeC. Mei Huan is not smarter than Mei LunD. Mei Lun is as quiet as her younger sisterCThe American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin’s older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts ofpolitical subjects.Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin’s Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers, readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor of the Times said recently, “ At places where they gather, editors ask one another, ‘ How are you? ‘, as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case. ” An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline “ NOT DEAD YET. ”Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock ( 股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock - holders sell off their Times stock.The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test - preparation service now brings in at least half the company’s income.28. What can we learn about the New England Courant?A. It is mainly about the stock market.B. It carries articles by political leaders.C. It marks the beginning of newspapers.D. It remains a successful newspaper in America.29. What can we infer about the newspaper editors?A. They often accept readers’ suggestions.B. They care a lot about each other’s health.C. They stop doing business with advertisers.D. They face great difficulties in their business.30. Which of the following found a new way for its development?A. The Washington Post.B. The Guardian.C. The New York Times.D. New England Courant.31. How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers?A. Satisfied.B. Hopeful.C. Surprised.D. Worried.DMoney is the root of all evil ( 邪恶) and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists at the University of California Berkeley, US, announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do immoral things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ( PNA《美国国家科学院院刊》) .They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving more modest cars.In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher - class families were more likely to act dishonestly.According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people’s feelings.Finally, it just makes them greedier. “ Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest, ” said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.Piff pointed out that the findings don’t mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts ( 本能) and values in different ways.A. link wealth with bad behaviorB. draw readers’ attention to the researchC. show how the saying proves the findingsD. defend rich people who do immoral things33. According to the scientists, which is NOT the factor that makes rich people immoral?A. They welcome risks.B. They have more desires.C. They believe money talks.D. They become more selfish.34. Why did the scientists do the experiments?A. To show how social status affects people’s morality.B. To show people’s instincts and values in different ways.C. To test whether the saying “ money is the root of all evil” is true.D. To show the difference between higher - class people and lower - class people.35. What does the passage really want to show us?A. The poor are respectable.B. Money is the root of all evil.C. All rich people are untrustworthy.D. The rich are more likely to act badly.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,选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Make Planssuccess as planning really works and inspires you to go straight ahead.

The panda twins can fit in well in Sichuan.B. The panda twins are only fond of Sichuan food and dishes.C. The panda twins have been used to the new environment very quickly.D. It's hard for the panda twins to get used to the new environment soon.6.What does the underlined part"wean them off"in the fourth paragraph mean?______A. help them get rid of.B. help them form.C. help them strengthen.D. help them keep.7.From the passage we learn that of the two sisters,______ .A. Mei Huan mainly eats bambooB. Mei Lun is living a more active lifeC. Mei Huan is not smarter than Mei LunD. Mei Lun is as quiet as her younger sister.【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】A 【小题3】B【解析】5.D 推理判断题.根据第一段中 but are struggling to adapt to the language and food可知,这对双胞胎熊猫回国后适应语言和食物都很费力、困难,尤其是后面的2,3,4段更细节地描述了适应新环境的困难.故答案选D.6.A 词义猜测题.根据短语所在句子的后一句 gradually replacing the American food with Chinese bread.用美国面包逐渐取代美国食物.根据前一句The zoo-keeper is trying to wean them off their biscuit habit.动物园管理员正设法使他们戒掉吃饼干的习惯.此处的mean them off 就可以断定为"去除"的意思,答案为A.7.B 细节理解题.根据倒数第三段Mei Lun is the livelier of the two,often jumping onto the roof and hanging upside down from a rail,but her slightly younger sister Mei Huan is calmer,preferring to sit still,可知美伦更充满活力一点,经常跳上屋顶,从一个轨道的倒挂,但她的小妹妹梅欢是平静的,喜欢静静的坐着,观察着新的环境和偶尔吃竹子.所以答案选B.本文介绍了在美国出生的两只双胞胎大熊猫回国了,但是却不适应国内的饮食和语言,这令饲养员很担心.阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力,要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系,对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断;或根据作者所阐述的观点理论,对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释.考生首先要仔细阅读短文,完整了解信息,准确把握作者观点.CThe American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years.In 1721,the printer James Franklin,Benjamin's older brother,started the New England Courant,and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper.He filled his paper with stories of adventure,articles on art,on famous people,and on all sorts of political subjects.Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's Courant,few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long.Newspaper companies are losing advertisers,readers,market value,and in some cases,their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago.The chief editor of the Times said recently,"At places where they gather,editors ask one another,‘How are you?',as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case."An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian,under the headline"NOT DEAD YET."Perhaps not,but the rise of the Internet,which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world,has brought about a real sense of death.Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years.The New York Times Company has seen its stock (股票)drop by 54% since the end of 2004,with much of the loss coming in the past year.A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock.The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education;its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company's income.8.What can we learn about the New England Courant______A. It is mainly about the stock market.B. It carries articles by political leaders.C. It marks the beginning of newspapers.D. It remains a successful newspaper in America.9.What can we infer about the newspaper editors______A. They often accept readers'suggestions.B. They care a lot about each other's health.C. They stop doing business with advertisers.D. They face great difficulties in their business.10.Which of the following found a new way for its development______A. The Washington Post.B. The Guardian.C. The New York Times.D. New England Courant.11.How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers?______A. Satisfied.B. Hopeful.C. Surprised.D. Worried.【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】D 【小题3】A 【小题4】D【解析】8.C 细节理解题.根据第一段the printer James Franklin,Benjamin's older brother,started the New England Courant,and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper.可知,James Franklin创办的New England Courant就是我们今天所知的真正的报纸,也就标志着美国报业的开始,故答案为C.9.D 推理判断题.根据第二段Newspaper companies are losing advertisers,readers,market value可知,报社正在逐渐失去广告商,读者和市场价值,以及后面编辑的话"At places where they gather,editors ask one another,‘How are you?',as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case.",编辑们现在见面聊天的时候都会互相问候"你还好吗"仿佛刚出院或输了一场官司,其实隐含的意思就是因为报纸业的不景气,编辑们现在正面临着困难,所以这个问候应该是你们报社生意怎么样?故答案为D.10.A 细节理解题.根据最后一段可知,找到一种新的发展方式的是The Washington Post 《华盛顿邮报》.故答案为A.11.D 推理判断题.通读全文,作者列举了报业所面临的种种问题,可以判断作者对此很担忧.故答案为D.本文主要讲述了美国报业从起源到现在面临的困境.作者通过回顾和现状事实的描述,也表达了自己的担忧:未来报业何去何从?这篇阅读理解给我们呈现了报业从起源到现在面临的困境--受到更多先进快捷媒体比如internet的冲击的现状.作者通过回顾和现状事实的描述,也表达了自己的担忧:未来报业何去何从?这篇文字设计上看,也没有更多的难度.总体文字流畅,事例逻辑表达完整.从问题的设计方面看,也没有过多的迷惑度.DMoney is the root of all evil (邪恶)and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying.Scientists at the University of California Berkeley,US,announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do immoral things,such as lie or cheat,than poorer people.The scientists did a series of eight experiments.They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNA《美国国家科学院院刊》).They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley.They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks.Nearly 45percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30percent of people driving more modest cars.In another experiment,a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral things in various everyday situations.Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change.Students from higher-class families were more likely to act dishonestly.According to the scientists,rich people often think money can get them out of trouble.This makes them less afraid to take risks.It also means they care less about other people's feelings.Finally,it just makes them greedier."Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more,and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest,"said Paul Piff,lead scientist of the study.Piff pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest.He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts (本能)and values in different ways.12.By saying"money is the root of all evil",the author wants to ______ .A. link wealth with bad behaviorB. draw readers'attention to the researchC. show how the saying proves the findingsD. defend rich people who do immoral things13.According to the scientists,which is NOT the factor that makes rich people immoral?______A. They welcome risks.B. They have more desires.C. They believe money talks.D. They become more selfish.14.Why did the scientists do the experiments______A. To show how social status affects people's morality.B. To show people's instincts and values in different ways.C. To test whether the saying"money is the root of all evil"is true.D. To show the difference between higher-class people and lower-class people.15.What does the passage really want to show us______A. The poor are respectable.B. Money is the root of all evil.C. All rich people are untrustworthy.D. The rich are more likely to act badly.【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】A 【小题3】A 【小题4】D【解析】12.B 推理判断题.根据第一段new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying…that rich people are more likel y to do immoral things,such as lie or cheat,than poorer people.可知,用这个俗语"金钱是万恶之源"来引出本文的话题--富人们是否比穷人们更加有可能做不道德的事情,通过一些实验来证实,让读者们看到这一研究,目的是吸引读者对这个研究的注意,故答案为B.13.A 推理判断题.根据倒数第三段According to the scientists,rich people often think money can get them out of trouble.This makes them less afraid to ta ke risks.It also means they care less about other people's feelings.(按照科学家的研究,富人们通常认为钱可以解决一切麻烦,所以他们更不害怕冒险,也意味着他们更少在乎其他人的感受)可知,他们喜欢冒险并不是让他们不道德的因素,而且从常识来说,并不是所有喜欢冒险的人就是富人,而且喜欢冒险也不代表不道德,故答案为A.14.A 细节理解题.由倒数第一段最后一句"He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts and values in different ways."可知,实验表明生活在不同的社会环境中人们表达他们的本能和价值观的方式不同.故选A15.D 推理判断题.根据最后一段"Piff pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest"可知,并不是所有富人都是不值得信任的,也并不是所有的穷人都是诚实的.故选A.金钱是万恶之源吗?加利福尼亚伯克利大学的实验证明:有钱人比穷人更加有可能做不道德的事,更不值得信任.做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)How to Make PlansMost people get scared when talking about planning or writing plans.(1)______ .And you need to plan for success as planning really works and inspires you to go straight ahead.However,how to create effective plans is still a problem.Don't worry,and just follow the steps below.Step 1 (2)______What plans have you had in the past Probably,in some of your plans,you haven't ended up where you thought you were going to end up.Get a good understanding of what you have done and what you haven't done in the past.It is a primary foundation for your new plan.If having no plan,just take actions and make plans right now.Step 2Think about the What-IfsWhen you are building your plans,you should consider where you are going and make clear the What-Ifs.Because not everything just goes smoothly as you believe.(3)______ .Step 3Document the plansWhen starting to make plans,you should try to write them down.It is of key importance for the future.(4)______ In addition,make sure you have the plans fully written out with all the key elements concerned,including details.Step 4Update the plansAccording to your written plans and actual situation,you should check out the plans you have completed and haven't completed.(5)______ Make sure all the assumptions are there and work out the details.After hanging on for some days,planning will be getting simpler and easier.A.

Schools were canceled, roads were dangerous and all I wanted to do was to stay in bed. Still, I knew I had to get the day started so I put on warm clothes and walked outside. The snow got all over my shoes. The cold wind dried my lips and my eyes. My 47-year-old back ached in anticipation(预想)of the shoveling (铲雪)I would have to do if the snow didn't stop soon.Yet, when I looked out on the white blanket that covered the ground, I couldn't help but smile a bit. It was so beautiful. It softened the bare trees and hid the dead grass. In the distance I could hear the sound of the snowplow(雪犁) on the road, the barking of a happy dog and the laughter of children playing outside, enjoying their way off from school.The sweet music of that laughter brought back a hundred memories of winters past. I remembered catching snowflakes (雪花) on my tongue, building snowmen, making snow angles, running down hillsand always losing snowball fights with first my brothers and then my own children. Standing there in that warm coat of memories made the wind a little less cold and my back a little less sore(疼痛的). I turned up my head, stuck out my tongue and for the first time in years caught a snowflake on it. It tasted so fresh and clean. It tasted like youth, like joy and like love.May you always feel young in spirit, no matter how old or achy your body may be. May you always delight in the simple joys of life. May you always share your happiness with the hearts of children. And may you always give your love, your light, your laughter and your warmth to others even on the coldest days.(1) What was the author's first reaction when he knew it snowed heavilyA. He was upset.B. He was happy.C. He was thankful.D. He was moved.(2) From which senses did the author describe the joy of having snow?A. Taste and smell.B. Sight and smell.C. Smell, hearing and taste.D. Sight, hearing and taste.(3) What does the author mainly want to tell us with this article?A. Appreciate every snowstorm you spend with your family.B. Snow brings both fun and trouble.C. Memories can change our opinion.D. We should stay young at heart.3、【来源】 2017年陕西西安新城区陕西省西安中学高三三模第28~31题8分Black Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States. It has been regarded as the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Although it's not an official holiday, millions of employers give their employees the day off, and many people use that day to get a jump-start on their holiday shopping. A similar day in Canada and Great Britain is called"Boxing Day".Black Friday has become somewhat of a marketing sensation in recent years. Since 2005, it has been the busiest shopping day of the year. To TAL#NBSP lure shoppers, retailers (零售商)routinely open their doors as early as 4 a.m. and offer special sales and promotions to the shoppers that arrive early. Some of the special deals offered by stores are only available in limited quantities. That is why some shoppers intent on getting the best deals often camp out in front of stores overnight so that they'll be the first in line when the doors open.But why Black Friday? Historians believe the name started in Philadelphia in the mid-1960s. Bus drivers and police used "Black Friday" to describe the heavy traffic that would block city streets the day after Thanksgiving as shoppers headed to the stores.Businesses, however, didn't like the negative tone associated with the"Black Friday"name. In the early 1980s, a more positive explanation of the name began to circulate. According to this alternative explanation, Black Friday is the day when retailers finally begin to turn a profit for the year. In accounting terms (会计行业), operating at a loss is called being"in the red"because accountants traditionally used red ink to show negative amounts. Positive amounts were usually shown in black ink. Thus, being"in the black"is a good thing because it means stores are operating at a profit.Recently, for those who are too busy to shop on Black Friday or who just don't want to fight the crowds, the Monday following Black Friday has become known as Cyber Monday (网络星期一) for the many online deals.(1) On Black Friday, the Americans.A. don't have to go to work as usualB. look exactly like the CanadiansC. are usually busy doing shoppingD. stay at home and relax themselves(2) The underlined word "lure"(in Paragraph 2)probably means.A. protectB. attractC. persuadeD. remind(3) How do the retailers understand Black FridayA. It is totally different from Boxing Day.B. They usually lose some money on the day.C. It never keeps them very busy.D. It probably brings them more money.(4) The author writes this passage in order to.A. state the development of Cyber MondayB. tell the difference between red and blackC. introduce Black Friday to the readersD. explain the meaning of Boxing Day4、【来源】 2017年陕西西安新城区陕西省西安中学高三三模第32~35题8分Last Thursday, Michael and Linda stood behind large food trucks distributing meals to 4, 000 homeless people for their wedding reception on the border town of Kilis. The couple had decided that instead of hosting their friends and family for a traditional feast reception, they would feed the victims from an earthquake-stricken area.The idea came from the bridegroom's father, Ted, who volunteers for a Turkish relief organization. For the past few years, the organization has distributed daily meals to thousands of people who've suffered from natural disasters. He approached a representative of the organization and suggested that the family cover part of the costs of feeding them for the day.Then he told his son, who was surprised by the suggestion, but soon won over. When he told that to the bride, she was really shocked but finally accepted because in southeastern Turkey there is a real culture of sharing with people in need. They love to share their food, their table and everything they have. And afterwards she was quite amazed about it. So, they arrived at the distribution center on Thursday to spend the day serving food and taking photographs with their grateful recipients(接受者).On Tuesday evening, the newly married couple were still pleased with their decision to quit a personal celebration for one with a greater good. "It's like sharing a dinner with your friends and family who have this kind of thing on a daily basis—or sharing something with people who don't even have the most basic things, "Michael said. "Hopefully, this will also give the start for other wedding dinners to be held here with our brothers and sisters in need."(1) Why did so many people crowd in KilisA. To attend Michael and Linda's wedding.B. To support the organization.C. To escape the damaging earthquake.D. To help distribute free daily meals.(2) What does the underlined word "approached" in Paragraph 2 meanA. took inB. moved towardsC. came acrossD. consulted with(3) How did the couple celebrate their weddingA. They treated their friends and relatives to a big dinner.B. They shared their happiness with the homeless in Kilis.C. They afforded the entire cost of the day for feeding victims.D. They took photos with the grateful victims.(4) We can know from the text that.A. Kilis is a place which lies in southeastern TurkeyB. Ted was a representative of the organizationC.

AEvery year, billions of kilograms of fresh produce are wasted in the United St ates. The food ends up in landfills, producing harmful greenhouse gases. Meanwhile, millions of poor Americans go hungry, without access to healthy, affordable meals.Evan Lutz is passionate about correcting that social injustice. And he combines that goal with a passion for business. "My entire life I've wanted to become a social entrepreneur, not just starting a business that made money but also one that gave back. I'm just an average guy with a passion towards making sure no food goes to waste and making sure no person's ever hungry in America and I want to do that through business."Lutz is CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest. Hungry Harvest is a business which collects and sells "ugly" produce. These are fruits and vegetables that most food companies woul d throw away. "If you go to a grocery store everything is growing the same exact way. Right. So all that stuff that doesn't grow the same way gets wasted and gets thrown out. And so we take all that stuff that normally get thrown out because it's too big too small in odd size of shape, we box it up into a variety boxes and we deliver to our customers once a week. We hire people that were living in homeless shelters they were really looking to get a chance in life."In January 2016, Lutz appeared on the American business competition television show "Shark Tank." It connects investors with entrepreneurs. Lutz sought a $50,000 investment in Hungry Harvest, in exchange for a five percent stake in his company. He got even more than he expected: $100,000 for 10 percent ownership.21. The purpose of writing paragraph 1 is to ________.A. tell us how serious the waste isB. inform us many people have not enough to eatC. remind us of the unfairness of the societyD. lead out the topic of the passage【解析】目的意图题。

Schools were canceled, roads were dangerous and all I wanted to do was to stay in bear. Still, I knew I had to get the day started so I put on warm clothes and walked outside. The snow got all over my shoes. The cold wind dried my lips and my eyes. My 47-year-old back ached in anticipation(预想)of the shoveling(铲雪)I would have to do if the snow didn't stop soon.Yet, when I looked out on the white blanket that covered the ground, I couldn't help but smile a bit. It was sobeautiful. It softened the bare trees and hid the dead grass. In the distance I could hear the sound of the snowplow (雪犁)on the road, the barking of a happy dog and the laughter of children playing outside, enjoying their way off from school.The sweet music of that laughter brought back a hundred memories of winters past. I remembered catching snowflakes(雪花)on my tongue, building snowmen, making snow angles, running down hills and always losing snowball fights with first my brothers and then my own children. Standing there in that warm coat of memories made the wind a little less cold and my back a little less sore(疼痛的).I turned up my head, stuck out my tongue and for the first time in years caught a snowflake on it. It tasted so fresh and clean. It tasted like youth, like joy and like love.May you always feel young in spirit, no matter how old or achy your body may be. May you always delight in the simple joys of life. May you always share your happiness with the hearts of children. And may you always give your love, your light, your laughter and your warmth to others even on the coldest days.25.What was the author's first reaction when he knew it snowed heavily? ________A.He was upset. B.He was happy. C.He was thankful. D.He was moved.26.From which senses did the author describe the joy of having snow? ________A.Taste and smell. B.Sight and smell. C.Smell, hearing and taste. D.Sight, hearing and taste. 27.What does the author mainly want to tell us with this article? ________A.Appreciate every snowstorm you spend with your family.B.Snow brings both fun and trouble.C.Memories can change our opinion.D.We should stay young at heart.CBlack Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States. It has been regarded as the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Although it's not an official holiday, millions of employers give their employees the day off, and many people use that day to get a jump-start on their holiday shopping. A similar day in Canada andGreat Britain is called “Boxing Day”.Black Friday has become somewhat of a marketing sensation in recent years. Since 2005,it has been the busiest shopping day of the year. To lure shoppers, retailers(零售商)routinely open their doors as early as 4d. m. and offer special sales and promotions to the shoppers that arrive early. Some of the special deals offered by stores are only available in limited quantities. That is why some shoppers intent on getting the best deals often camp out in front of stores overnight so that they'll be the first in line when the doors open.But why Black Friday? Historians believe the name started in Philadelphia in the mid-1960s.Bus drivers and police used “Black Friday” to describe the heavy traffic that would block city streets the day after Thanksgiving as shoppers headed to the stores.Businesses, however, didn't like the negative tone associated with the “Black Friday”name. In the early1980s,a more positive explanation of the name began to circulate. According to this alternative explanation, Black Friday is the day when retailers finally begin to turn a profit for the year. In accounting terms(会计行业),operating at a loss is called being “in the red”because accountants traditionally used red ink to show negative amounts. Positive amounts were usually shown in black ink. Thus, being “in the black” is a good thing because it means stores are operating at a profit.Recently, for those who are too busy to shop on Black Friday or who just don't want to fight the crowds, the Monday following Black Friday has become known as Cyber Monday(网络星期一)for the many online deals. 28.On Black Friday, the Americans ________.A.don't have to go to work as usualB.look exactly like the CanadiansC.are usually busy doing shoppingD.stay at home and relax themselves29.The underlined word “lure”(in Paragraph 2)probably means ________.A.protect B.attract C.persuade D.remind30.How do the retailers understand Black Friday? ________A.It is totally different from Boxing Day.B.They usually lose some money on the day.C.It never keeps them very busy.D.It probably brings them more money.31.The author writes this passage in order to ________.A.state the development of Cyber MondayB.tell the difference between red and blackC.introduce Black Friday to the readersD.explain the meaning of Boxing Day.DLast Thursday, Michael and Linda stood behind large food trucks distributing meals to 4,000homeless people for their wedding reception on the border town of Kilis. The couple had decided that instead of hosting their friends and family for a traditional feast reception, they would feed the victims from an earthquake-stricken are.The idea came from the bridegroom's father, Ted, who volunteers for a Turkish relief organization. For the past few years, the organization has distributed daily meals to thousands of people who've suffered from natural disasters. He approached a representative of the organization and suggested that the family cover part of the costs of feeding them for the day.Then he told his son, who was surprised by the suggestion, but soon won over. When he told that to the bride, she was really shocked but finally accepted because in southeastern Turkey there is a real culture of sharing with people in need. They love to share their food, their table and everything they have. And afterwards she was quite amazed about it. So, they arrived at the distribution center on Thursday to spend the day serving food and takingphotographs with their grateful recipients(接受者).On Tuesday evening, the newly married couple were still pleased with their decision to quit a personal celebration for one with a greater good. “It's like sharing a dinner with your friends and family who have this kind of thing on a daily basis-or sharing something with people w ho don't even have the most basic things, ”Michael saia. “Hopefully, this will also give the start for other wedding dinners to be held here with our brot hers and sisters in need.”32.Why did so many people crowd in Kilis? ________A.To attend Michael and Linda's wedding. B.To support the organization.C.To escape the damaging earthquake. D.To help distribute free daily meals.33.What does the underlined word “approached” in Paragraph 2 mean? ________A.took in B.moved towards C.came across D.consulted with34.How did the couple celebrate their wedding? ________A.They treated their friends and relatives to a big dinner.B.They shared their happiness with the homeless in Kilis.C.They afforded the entire cost of the day for feeding victims.D.They took photos with the grateful victims.35.We can know from the text that. ________A.Kilis is a place which lies in southeastern TurkeyB.Ted was a representative of the organizationC.Linda adopted the suggestion immediately she heard itD.Michael doubted if more new couples would follow him.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,选项中有两项为多余选项.Things to Do When Y ou're Feeling DownLet's start with a fact. We all have days when we feel down and discouraged. 36 Here is a list to help you get back on track.1.Take Care of YourselfThis may seem like an obvious thing, but try your best to get a good night's sleep and eat healthy food when you're hungry. 37 Consider setting an earlier bedtime than usual and stick to it.

Beating yourself up is not helpful!40 Examples are, “It is what it is; let me just accept it and move on.” All I can do is put one foot in front of the other and keep moving. “And finally,” This, too, shall pass.A.Science shows that both of these things can have a huge positive impact on both your mood and your blood sugar.B.A lot of researches show that when we intend to be happy, our thoughts and actions follow suit.C.What action can you take today that will make you feel better and change the pattern?D.What can you do to pull yourself back from despair?E.Try saying things that are comforting your hearts and mina.F.Other times, the blues just seem to hit for no reason at all.G.What's comforting to you?第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节完形填空(共1小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A.B.C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.Ten-year-old Cara Turner loves the giant saltwater pond on her grandparent's farm.

13-《高考必刷卷 42套》-陕西省西安市2017届高三模拟试题(一) 听力录音材料
13.陕西省西安市2017届高三模拟试题(一)【听力录音材料】Text 1M: It’s strange being back in school.W: What do you mean?M: I think it’s tough to get used to studying, meeting new people, and taking notes again after being on vacation for so long.Text 2W: Could you drive me to my doctor’s appointment tomorrow, Jesse?M: I’d love to, Theresa, but the problem is that my car is in the shop.Text 3W: Uh oh, I think my cellphone is about to die.M: Don’t worry. I charged mine before we left the house.W: Thank goodness. My mother called me three times. I don’t want her to worry.Text 4W: Next Sunday, I want to have a party for my birthday.M: A birthday party? Nancy wanted to throw one for you, but I told her I would do it, so don’t worry about it.Text 5M: Do you mean that both of your parents work?W: So what? Only 10% of American families have a traditional working father and a stay-at-home mother.Text 6M: I bought a pumpkin, and I am planning on making it into a lantern tomorrow.W: Oh, that’s right. Halloween is coming!M: Yeah, the school is letting us use the gym for the Halloween party. I am so excited about it, but I have not decided what to wear this year. I don’t want to wear a plain old vampire costume like last year. Have you decided what you’re going to wear? You looked so great in Catwoman costume last year.W: Me? No, I’m still not sure. Last year’s party was great, but I will be at home with my family this year.Text 7W: Mr. Davidson, what is a leader in your opinion?M: Uh, well, um, a leader is someone who… leads, I guess. It’s someone who, uh, sets a good example, uh… for others.W: OK. What kinds of leadership qualities do you think this position requires?M: Hmm, I would have to say that… uh, this position, uh... well, someone who is strong and can think quickly and...W: Do you think you are qualified, Mr. Davidson?M: Oh, yeah, I’m, like, totally qualified! I would do a great job, for sure, as long as I get paid enough. Can I, uh, ask one question?W: Go ahead, Mr. Davidson.M: Where is the bathroom? I must have had too much water today!W: (Sigh) It’s right down the hall. Go ahead and see yourself out afterward. We will let you know.Text 8W: Dad, can I have a car?M: Sweetheart, we talked about this. Owning a car is a big responsibility. Gas is pretty expensive nowadays. You also have to maintain your car properly, and that means…W: Yeah, I know, Dad! You’ve told me a thousand times! But how am I supposed to be independent if you always drive me places?M: Well, I feel more comfortable knowing that you’re safe.W: Do you know how embarrassing it is to have your father drop you off at the mall? All my friends have cars of their own already!M: Don’t all of your friends have jobs of their own, too?W: Well, yeah, I guess, but…M: And haven’t your friends kept their grades up all through high school?W: Uh… yeah.M: Well, you show me a report card of straight A’s and two paychecks from a new job, and then we’ll talk about a car for you.W: What? That’s so unfair!M: Life isn’t fair sometimes. But you’ll appreciate your future car if you earn it. Why don’t we look through some car magazines so you can see what you are working toward?Text 9M: This is quite a nice pool, isn’t it?W: I’ll say. Is this your first time in this hotel?M: Oh, no. I stay here every time I’m in New York on business. What about you?W: This is my first time here without my family. I decided that I just wanted some time for myself this weekend.M: Good for you! My name is Bernard Smith, but you can call me Bernie.W: Hi, Bernie! I’m Jane.M: Nice to meet you. So, Jane, what do you think is the best part of this hotel? I mean, seeing as how you’re a bit of an expert and all…W: Well, I wouldn’t say I’m an expert, but the service here is much better than at most other hotels. Considering the price of the rooms here, you might not expect the service to be anything special, but I feel like I am treated like a queen whenever I’m here.M: I agree that the service is great, but my favorite thing about this place has got to be the breakfast. I mean, have you seen so many choices anywhere else?W: Well, you have a point there, Bernie. I do love eating breakfast here, and I guess I usually talk about it whenever people ask me how my trip to New York was.Text 10So I was walking around the other day when I saw a sign for The Bookworm. It’s a really cool caféthat also has great food, and sometimes they have music and other special events. Well, it just so happened that there was a literary festival going on that featured writers and photographers working in China, and I saw that Peter Hessler was going to be speaking at the festival at 7: 30 that very night! Peter Hessler is probably my favorite writer at the moment; he used to write about China for The New Yorker, a famous American magazine, and he also wrote three books about his experiences living and working in Beijing. His writing is really funny and super clever, and I was so excited to hear him speak that I went right over to The Bookworm, grabbed a seat at the bar, and waited for him to arrive. I waited and waited, but he still was a no-show. Finally, at 8: 30, I asked one of the staff when he was supposed to be there. “Peter Hessler?” the guy replied. “He’s not supposed to be here tonight. He was here last year, though.” It was then that I realized my mistake. I had come on the right day, just not in the right year!。

Schools were canceled, roads were dangerous and all I wanted to do was to stay in bear. Still, I knew I had to get the day started so I put on warm clothes and walked outside. The snow got all over my shoes. The cold wind dried my lips and my eyes. My 47-year-old back ached in anticipation(预想)of the shoveling(铲雪)I would have to do if the snow didn't stop soon.Yet, when I looked out on the white blanket that covered the ground, I couldn't help but smile a bit. It was sobeautiful. It softened the bare trees and hid the dead grass. In the distance I could hear the sound of the snowplow (雪犁)on the road, the barking of a happy dog and the laughter of children playing outside, enjoying their way off from school.The sweet music of that laughter brought back a hundred memories of winters past. I remembered catching snowflakes(雪花)on my tongue, building snowmen, making snow angles, running down hills and always losing snowball fights with first my brothers and then my own children. Standing there in that warm coat of memories made the wind a little less cold and my back a little less sore(疼痛的).I turned up my head, stuck out my tongue and for the first time in years caught a snowflake on it. It tasted so fresh and clean. It tasted like youth, like joy and like love.May you always feel young in spirit, no matter how old or achy your body may be. May you always delight in the simple joys of life. May you always share your happiness with the hearts of children. And may you always give your love, your light, your laughter and your warmth to others even on the coldest days.25.What was the author's first reaction when he knew it snowed heavily? ________A.He was upset. B.He was happy. C.He was thankful. D.He was moved.26.From which senses did the author describe the joy of having snow? ________A.Taste and smell. B.Sight and smell. C.Smell, hearing and taste. D.Sight, hearing and taste. 27.What does the author mainly want to tell us with this article? ________A.Appreciate every snowstorm you spend with your family.B.Snow brings both fun and trouble.C.Memories can change our opinion.D.We should stay young at heart.CBlack Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States. It has been regarded as the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Although it's not an official holiday, millions of employers give their employees the day off, and many people use that day to get a jump-start on their holiday shopping. A similar day in Canada andGreat Britain is called “Boxing Day”.Black Friday has become somewhat of a marketing sensation in recent years. Since 2005,it has been the busiest shopping day of the year. To lure shoppers, retailers(零售商)routinely open their doors as early as 4d. m. and offer special sales and promotions to the shoppers that arrive early. Some of the special deals offered by stores are only available in limited quantities. That is why some shoppers intent on getting the best deals often camp out in front of stores overnight so that they'll be the first in line when the doors open.But why Black Friday? Historians believe the name started in Philadelphia in the mid-1960s.Bus drivers and police used “Black Friday” to describe the heavy traffic that would block city streets the day after Thanksgiving as shoppers headed to the stores.Businesses, however, didn't like the negative tone associated with the “Black Friday” name. In the early1980s,a more positive explanation of the name began to circulate. According to this alternative explanation, Black Friday is the day when retailers finally begin to turn a profit for the year. In accounting terms(会计行业),operating at a loss is called being “in the red” beca use accountants traditionally used red ink to show negative amounts. Positive amounts were usually shown in black ink. Thus, being “in the black” is a good thing because it means stores are operating at a profit.Recently, for those who are too busy to shop on Black Friday or who just don't want to fight the crowds, the Monday following Black Friday has become known as Cyber Monday(网络星期一)for the many online deals. 28.On Black Friday, the Americans ________.A.don't have to go to work as usualB.look exactly like the CanadiansC.are usually busy doing shoppingD.stay at home and relax themselves29.The underlined word “lure”(in Paragraph 2)probably means ________.A.protect B.attract C.persuade D.remind30.How do the retailers understand Black Friday? ________A.It is totally different from Boxing Day.B.They usually lose some money on the day.C.It never keeps them very busy.D.It probably brings them more money.31.The author writes this passage in order to ________.A.state the development of Cyber MondayB.tell the difference between red and blackC.introduce Black Friday to the readersD.explain the meaning of Boxing Day.DLast Thursday, Michael and Linda stood behind large food trucks distributing meals to 4,000homeless people for their wedding reception on the border town of Kilis. The couple had decided that instead of hosting their friends and family for a traditional feast reception, they would feed the victims from an earthquake-stricken are.The idea came from the bridegroom's father, Ted, who volunteers for a Turkish relief organization. For the past few years, the organization has distributed daily meals to thousands of people who've suffered from natural disasters. He approached a representative of the organization and suggested that the family cover part of the costs of feeding them for the day.Then he told his son, who was surprised by the suggestion, but soon won over. When he told that to the bride, she was really shocked but finally accepted because in southeastern Turkey there is a real culture of sharing with people in need. They love to share their food, their table and everything they have. And afterwards she was quite amazed about it. So, they arrived at the distribution center on Thursday to spend the day serving food and takingphotographs with their grateful recipients(接受者).On Tuesday evening, the newly married couple were still pleased with their decision to quit a personal celebration for one with a greater good. “It's like sharing a dinner with your friends and family who have this kind of thing on a daily basis-or sharing something with people who don't even have the most basic things, ”Michael saia. “Hopefully, this will also give the start for other wedding dinners to be held here with our brothers and sisters in need.”32.Why did so many people crowd in Kilis? ________A.To attend Michael and Linda's wedding. B.To support the organization.C.To escape the damaging earthquake. D.To help distribute free daily meals.33.Wh at does the underlined word “approached” in Paragraph 2 mean? ________A.took in B.moved towards C.came across D.consulted with34.How did the couple celebrate their wedding? ________A.They treated their friends and relatives to a big dinner.B.They shared their happiness with the homeless in Kilis.C.They afforded the entire cost of the day for feeding victims.D.They took photos with the grateful victims.35.We can know from the text that. ________A.Kilis is a place which lies in southeastern TurkeyB.Ted was a representative of the organizationC.Linda adopted the suggestion immediately she heard itD.Michael doubted if more new couples would follow him.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,选项中有两项为多余选项.Things to Do When Y ou're Feeling DownLet's start with a fact.

But the pair still understand English better than Chinese, and prefer American biscuits to Chinese bread.A zoo-keeper said that his main concern is that the pair are so addicted to American biscuits that everything they eat - from bamboos to apples - has to be mixed with biscuits. They even want to snack on (零食) biscuits when drinking water.The zoo-keeper is trying to wean them off their biscuit habit, gradually replacing the American food with Chinese bread. Mei Huan is adapting, but Mei Lun doesn't want to touch the unfamiliar bread.Mei Lun is the livelier of the two, often jumping onto the roof and hanging upside down from a rail, but her slightly younger sister Mei Huan is calmer, preferring to sit still, observe her newenvironment and occasionally snack on bamboo.A language barrier is also reported. While the pair respond to their own names, and understand some English phrases such as "come here," they don't understand the Sichuan dialectof Chinese.The news caused some laughter on Chinese social media, with some users commenting that the pandas would soon get used to Sichuan's famously spicy cuisine.25. Based on the passage, which statement do you think is right?A. The panda twins can fit in well in Sichuan.B. The panda twins are only fond of Sichuan food and dishes.C.

The chief editor of the Times said recently, " At placeswhere they gather, editors ask one another, / How are you? ', as if they have just come out of thehospital or a lost law case." An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of theGuardian, under the headline "NOT DEAD YET. "Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow andout of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death.

Scientists at the University of California Berkeley, US, announced on February 27 that richpeople are more likely to do immoral things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedingsof the National Academy of Sciences ( PNA《美国国家科学院院刊》 ) .They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted thatdrivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians atcrosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared withonly 30 percent of people driving more modest cars.In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral thingsin various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and nottelling asalesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher - class families weremore likely to act dishonestly.According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. Thismakes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people's feelings.Finally, it just makes them greedier. "Higher wealth status seems to make you want evenmore, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self -interest," said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.Piff pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poorpeople honest.
