AIf you have a bad habit of losing things, a new device that can be connected to any item that you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to the missing item, within a 50-to 150-foot range . If the item goe s out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be detected (发现) on other smartphones with the same app.When you log into the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost item — a dog, for example, or a stolen bike —goes out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, youcan set it as a “lost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within the range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your own phone, reminding you of its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they never run out of battery or need to be charged, and they last for one year before needing to be replaced. The app, which will come into the market this winter, works with iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd and 4th generation, and iPod 5th generation.1. The Tile app can help you .A. find your missing itemsB. use your phone more wiselyC. save your phone’s battery powerD. connect something to your phone2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The Tile needs to be charged after a year of use.B. One smartphone can only be linked up to one Tile.C. The Tile cannot work when linked up to a phone without Bluetooth.D. A missing item can’t be found if it goes out of the needed range.3. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A. What the Tile app is.B. How the Tile app works.C. The advantages of the Tile app.D. Why the Tile app was invented.4. Where does this passage probably come from?A. A science fiction novel.B. An advertisement.C. A personal diary.D. A news report.BThe island of Port Cros is in the south of France. I first visitedit about ten years ago with my wife. I had read that it was a magical place and it seemed fascinating (迷人的), but I couldn’t believe that it was true. In fact, it was much more magical than the tourist brochures (指南) had said.The island is mountainous and covered in trees. The water around the island is transparent like glass. When I first visited it, there was mist rising from the trees. The little harbor looked mysterious and remote: tall palm trees, a few shops and restaurants, no cars, motorcycles or bikes.It is not by chance that the island has kept its natural beauty. Once, it was privately owned and the owners always wanted to keep it in its natural state. In 1963, Port Cros became a national park. The park directors made some rules to protect the island. They didn’t allow any new building projects. There is only one hotel and no camping is allowed. Vi sitors can’t use mountain bikes or smoke on the island. Sailing boats that visit the island mustn’t damage the bottom of the sea or pollute the water around it.When we arrived, we started walking to the beach of Port-Man, which was the furthest beach from the port. It took us two hours and when we arrived, the beach was deserted. It seemed that we were the only people on the island. Time seemed to stop. It was so beautiful that we stayed there all day. I visited there again last summer. Nothing had changed. The island still looked magical and mysterious, still with few tourists. It must be wonderful to stay the night on the island, I thought. After all the visitors have gone, the island must be so quiet—a real paradise (天堂)!5. The author got to know Port Cros at first due to _____.A. some tourist brochuresB. his wife’s introductionC. his first visit thereD. some TV programs6. How has the natural beauty of the island been kept according to the text?A. Foreign visitors are not allowed to visit it.B. Nothing has been built in the park there.C. Only bikes can be used on the island.D. Sailing boats mustn’t pollute the water.7. When the author first visited Port Cros, _____.A. it was very sunnyB. there were few visitors thereC. it took them a whole day to walk to Port-ManD. the island was deserted and he stayed there for a whole nightCCamp Jano IndiaCelebrate Indian culture, languages, arts, festivals and literature. Weekly themes are brought to life through related arts, games, projects, stories and theatre in a very unique, exciting, creative, interactive (互动的) and structured style. A very unique and memorable (难忘的) experience that kids will want to repeat! Mornings are spent with the Hindi language at the child’s level. Afternoons provide the cultural elements taught in an interactive style with special emphasis (重点) on drama.Bay Language AcademyWe invite campers (4-12 years old) to travel and open up doors to explore past and recent civilizations through daily field trips. Cultures will be shown through customs and cooking. Lectures (6/10-8/30) will introduce/reinforce French, Spanish or Chinese and the cultures they convey. Our language summer-camp is infused (灌输) with cultural activities and taught by a team of bilingual (通晓双语的) instructors.Petits ConfettisWant your 3- to 5-year-old kids to experience a French camp? Come and join us for 6 weeks of French camps!Kids will be totally happy to learn French and French culture while they take part in team projects like building a tipi or making French bread. Weekly themes include cooking, arts, drama, outdoor activities, board games, music, yoga, rhymes and story time.Chinese Immersion Summer CampThis is our 11th Chinese language and culture summer camp. We take children from 6th grade. This year we continue the weekly fun themes like art, science, cooking and sports in the morning. In the afternoon, we have abacus, reading and Chinese culture lessons taught in Chinese. Our teachers are all native speakers with a lot of experience. Our weekly field trips go to different places like SF zoo, tech museums, fire stations etc.8.

Travel and adventure.C. Language and culture.D. Art and music.DOn Sunday, August 24th, comic book lovers across the world held their breath to watch how much crazy collectors would pay for a rare Superman comic book. Though bids (出价) above the initial asking price of 1 million dollars had been coming in gradually since the copy was placed on the auction site (拍卖网站) eBay on July 14th, things really started to heat up during the final minutes when the price jumped from $2.5 to $2.6 and then $2.7 million, before shooting up to unbelievable 3,207,852 dollars!This of course was no ordinary Superman comic book, but an edition of the extremely sought-after (很吃香地) No. 1 of Action Comics series — the first publication of the superhero that was born from the creative minds of teenagers Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel. Though Action Comics No. 1, which depicted a diaper-clad baby Superman lifting furniture, had a print run of 200,000 copies, only about 100 are known to exist today.While the rarity is certainly a reason for the high price, Stephen Fisher, CEO of , thinks it also has a lot to do with the fact that Superman was the world’s first superhero! Even so, none of the copies have been able to fetch (售得) as much as the most recent one, simply because they have not been as well-preserved. Graded a rare 9 out of 10 by CGC, a third party grading service for comic books, the book is the highest rated copy of Action Comics No. 1 so far. According to CGC officials, the 76-year-old comic book looks and feels as though it has just come off the newsstand (报摊).That is not surprising given that the original owner, a Virginian man who bought the book for only 10 cents in 1938, had carefully tucked it away (藏起来) in a wooden box for four decades. Fortunately, when he passed away, the book was bought by a string of collectors who all realized it was a rare treasure that needed to be looked after.Before this, the highest price paid for an Action Comics No.1 had been $2 million for a copy sold by Hollywood actor Nicholas Cage in 2011. Ironically, the two teenagers responsible for creating Superman received just 130 dollars when they sold the rights to the superhero to comic book publisher Detective Comics in 1938.12. When the Superman comic book was placed on eBay on July 14th, .A. it attracted no attention at allB. things started to heat up immediatelyC. the bid price didn’t go up very quickly at firstD. people thought it was worth millions of dollars13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Why the comic book is well-preserved.B. Why the comic book is well worth reading.C. Why the comic book is worth so much money.D. Why the comic book has drawn so much attention.14. When the other collectors got the comic book after the Virginian man, they .A. all took very good care of itB. all liked reading it very muchC. didn’t believe it was worth a fortuneD. all kept it in the same way as that man15. What do we know about the creators of Superman?A. They didn’t want to sell the rights to a comic bookpublisher.B. They knew all along Superman would be the most successful comic book.C. They were professional comic book writers when they created Superman.D. They didn’t make much money from creati ng Superman.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。

She told her mother, Jahira, about the dream. Jahira said, “Lisa said that in her dream she went to the Olympics. She described everything at this international competition. At first I did not take her story seriously. ”But Lisa kept talking about her dream. She told it to her father, David. So Jahira and David decided to pay for Lisa to learn gymnastics. So Lisa started to train at a special and competitive gym. Though only 7 years old, she was already training to compete at a high level. The years passed quickly. Lisa got better and better. By the time she was 12 years old, Lisa was training so many hours each day that she did not have time to do things that many other Americans of the same age did.When Lisa was 13, she had a chance to compete in a national gymnastics event. If she did well, the event would give her the chance to join the national team — the team that trains for the Olympics.But the family was out of money. Jahira had to tell Lisa that she could not go. Jahira said, “Tears came to her eyes, and she said, ‘I understand.’”A week or two later, a rich family came to visit Lisa’s gym unexpectedly. They watched Lisa train. Then they asked to talk to her mother. The rich family offered Jahira all the money they needed!Eventually, Lisa competed at the 2012 Olympic trials. She finished 10th in all rounds.24.

Lisa became a national team player at the age of twelve26. What does the author want to tell us?A. Knowledge is a measure, but practice is the key to it.B. Wherever you go, go with all your heart.C. Nothing is to be got without pain but poverty.D. God blesses the determined and hard-working.27. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. A Talented GirlB. The Caring ParentsC. An Olympic DreamD. A Helping HandCPope Benedict named five new saints on Sunday, including a Catholic priest, Father Damien, who cared for people in a leper (麻风病患者) colony.Father Damien was born Joseph De Veuster in Belgium. In 1873 he went to the Hawaiian island of Molokai. After several years of working in the colony, he himself developed leprosy (麻风病). Father Damien died in 1889, when he was 49 years old.Leprosy —also called Hansen’s disease — is a bacterial disease that causes skin wounds and nerve damage. The disease can severely disfigure (使变丑) victims and cause death. Untreated patients can spread the bacteria from their nose and mouth through the air to people who are near them a lot.But doctors have been able to treat leprosy since the 1940s. Today they use a combination of three drugs. Experts say after the first treatment, patients can no longer infect others.At the start of this year there were 213,000 cases of leprosy reported in 121 countries. The World Health Organization says there were almost 250,000 new cases last year. But the drug combination can cure the disease within six to twelve months.The number of new cases has been falling in many countries. But there are places where leprosy is still spreading quickly. These include areas of Angola, Brazil, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo and India. Other areas are in Madagascar, Mozambique, Nepal and Tanzania.Leprosy is an ancient disease. Its victims have been highly looked down upon — often blamed for their condition and made to feel unclean. In India, leprosy has traditionally been considered a punishment for something bad done in a former life. Other cultures have considered it a sign of evil.James Staples teaches in the School of Social Sciences at Brunel University in Britain. He is the author of the book Peculiar People, Amazing Lives: Leprosy, Social Exclusion and Community Making in South India. He tells us that modern knowledge about leprosy does not necessarily reduce the stigma. Public health campaigns spread the message that leprosy is curable and not highly infectious. Yet he says this message is often more scary for people than the idea that leprosy is some sort of spiritual punishment. That explanation may not do much for the patient’s place in society, he says, “but at least other people don’t think they are going to catch it.”28. What happened to Father Damien according to the passage?A. He died of abnormal cancer.B. He died from an earthquake.C. He died from an accident.D. He died of leprosy.29. What’s people’s attitude towards the victims who are infected with leprosy in the past?A. Sympathetic.B. Concerned.C. Prejudiced.D. Optimistic.30. What does the underlined word “stigma” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Shame.B. Pride.C. Custom.D. Explanation.31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The victims can be cured within 6 to 12 months.B. The victims’ social status has changed greatly since 1940s.C. The disease causes skin wounds and nerve damage.D. The leprosy is still spreading quickly in many countries.D“Why It Can Matter More Than IQ”, this subtitle (副标题) of my 1995 book Emotional Intelligence (EI), unfortunately, has led to misunderstandings of what I actually say. Some readers even jumped to an absurd conclusion that “EI accounts for 80 percent of success.”I never made the claim that EI matters more than IQ for academic achievements. My argument is actually that emotional and social skills give people advantages in areas where such abilities make the most difference, like love and leadership. EI does better than IQ in “soft” ar eas, where intelligence matters relatively little for success.IQ is a much stronger predictor (预测指标) than EI of which jobs or professions people can enter. However, having enough intelligence to hold a given job does not by itself predict whether one will be a star performer or rise to management or leadership positions in one’s field. In part this is because everyone at the top level of a given profession has already been examined for intelligence. At those top levels a high IQ becomes a basic ability, one needed just to get into and stay in the game.The one place, I expect, we will be seeing more data showing a relationship between skills in the emotional and social area and school performance, will be in studies of children who have gone through social/emotional learning (SEL) programs. These courses give students the self-management skills they need to do better on academic achievement scores. A study from the University of Illinois finds around a 10 percent increase in achievement test scores among these students. Probably, the SEL programs would also have meant higher scores on the particular assessment of EI used in the Australian study, and so if they had tested such children, there may well have been a positive connection.Therefore, learning seems to be another area where EI may matter —whether more than IQ is a question based on experience. This is what I want to explain on this website.32. The author writes the passage to _____.A. state his new opinion on IQ and EIB. explain the importance of IQ and EIC. clear up some misunderstandings of his bookD. argue for his study into school learning33. According to the author, EI matters more than IQ for _____.A. family relations; being promoted at workB. being a leader; receiving an MBA degreeC. winning a quiz; becoming a star performerD. becoming an accountant; getting an interview34. The author might agree that _____.A. success has everything to do with intelligenceB. the subtitle of his book is seldom misunderstoodC. EI matters more than IQ for academic achievementD. IQ determines one’s basic ability to enter a certain field35. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that _____.A. the two same studies have opposite findingsB. the SEL programs im prove students’ scores rapidlyC. students’ school performance is decided by their EID. the SEL programs attempt to promote learning with EI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。

Management abilityBDebra Avery has been a horse lover since she was a little girl in San Diego. Her family couldn’t afford a horse of its own, so Debra borrowed rides at the localhorse-riding center, gaining the confidence only found atop a horse. Years later, Debra remembered those early days, and the lessons she learned with the horses at the riding center, and wanted to help other young women get the benefits of connecting with horses. “I always wanted to run a horse program for girls like me,” says Debra. “I wanted to help them gain the courage to be around a horse and to care for a horse.”One day at the Los Angeles Horse-riding Center, as Debra rode beside her fellow rider Judith Hopkins, she mentioned an inheritance(遗产)from her father-in-law and her desire to use it to serve disadvantaged girls. Judith had the same dream—and a name for the organization.They founded Taking the Reins (TTR) in 1998. The organization serves more than 400 young women per year in after-school, weekend, and summer programs that feature horse riding and care, gardening and even competitive horse showing. Most participants live below the poverty line and often have not had reliable housing for more than six months at a time. Few have previous horse experience.TTR uses farm and ranch experiences to teach responsibility, leadership, teamwork, and self-c onfidence. Director Dr. Jane Haven says, “A large number of our girls are somewhat autistic(孤独症的). I can’t count how many of them have found their first social friends thanks to sharing this hobby and activity. Horses bring them out in such a wonderful way.”Jane also sees members of TTR program excel in school—100 percent of young women involved for four years or more have graduated from high school. Ninety-nine percent of those participants have gone on to attend four-year colleges.Debra sees a more obvious impact—after a few weeks in the TTR program, the young women sit a little higher in their saddles(马鞍). “There’s just something about sitting up on the back of a horse that gives them a boost of confidence.”4. What programs does TTR offer?A. Horse riding and showing.B. Horse care and farming.C. Pet care and gardening.D. Weekend hiking and camping.5. Who was the organization founded for?A. Homeless and lonely women.B. Hard-working school girls.C. Female autistic patients.D. Poor horse-loving girls.6. In what way has TTR changed its members’ life?A. They have been given financial aid.B. They have achieved academic excellence.C. They have grown into professional horse riders.D. They have been provided with reliable housing.7. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. TTR is a profit-making organization.B. TTR program lasts a few weeks.C. The girls’ confidence grows quickly.D.The girls can ride taller horses.CPre-school children who spend time together take on one another’s personalities, a new research has found. The study shows that environment plays a key role in shaping people’s personalities. While genetics still forms the central part of the human psyche(心理), the research finds that personality traits are “contagious” among children. “Our finding that personality traits are ‘contagious’ among children flies in the face of common assumptions that personality can’ t be changed.” said Dr. Jennifer Neal, co-author of the study.The researchers studied the personalities and social networks of two pre-school classes for a full school year. One of the classes was a set of three-year-olds, and the other a set of four-year-olds. Children whose friends were hard-working or outgoing gradually took on these personality traits over time. Psychology expert Dr. Emily Dublin said kids are having a far bigger effect on each other than people may realize.The new study is not the first to explore the contagious effects of personality traits. A 2015 psychology study found that rudeness at work can be contagious as it travels from person to person “like a disease”. The study found that seeing a boss being rude to an employee was enough to cause people to be rude to those around them.The researchers questioned 6,000 people on the social “climate” in their workplaces, which included offices, hotels and restaurants. They found 75 percent of those who took part said they had been treated rudely at least once in the pastyear. And the study also suggested that merely seeing other people being subjected to rudeness made it more likelythat a person would treat their colleagues in the same way. Rudeness could include leaving someone off an invite to a company event, sending unkind emails, finding fault with others or failing to give praise.Dr.Torkelson believes companies need to be more aware of the harm that rudeness in the workplace can do as it can damage the working environment. She said better training could help to fight against the problem.8. What does the underlined part “flies in the face of” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Leads to.B. Results from.C. Goes against.D. Agrees with.9. Which of the following is considered rude at the workplace?A. Ignoring the faults of co-workers.B. Notsending emails to workmates.C. Seekingpraise from colleagues and bosses.D. Not inviting a colleague to a company party.10. What is the passage mainly about?A. One’s personality is hard to change.B. One’s personality is shaped by genes.C. One’s personality traits can spread to others.D. One’s personality traits can change overnight.11. This passage is most probably taken from.A. a science reportB. a study guideC. a school textbookD. a technical journalDThe pace of today’s working life blurs(使模糊) the line between personal time and work time, and it increasingly mixes personal lifestyle and work style. And as companies are trying hard to attract and keep young people for their technical skills and enthusiasm for change, office culture is becoming an extension of youth culture.This may be no bad thing. For most of human history, the middle-aged have ruled, but in the future, they will have to share power with fresh-faced youths.There have been a number of reasons for this change and the most dramatic of these is technology. Children have always been more expert than their parents at something, but usually a game or a fashion, not the century’s most important business tool. The Internet has started the first industrial revolution in history to be led by the young. Though there have been youth revolutions before, none of them made a big change the way the Internet has. Throughout the 20th century, if a young person wanted to enter an American company, they needed to leave their youth behind. They got a haircut, and probably a suit or at least a tie. Now the same hair, same clothes, even nearly the same hours apply to office and home.If it had not been for the Internet, this change could not have happened. However, it did not happen because of the Internet only; the corporate restructurings(公司重组) of the 1980s and 90s broke down traditional hierarchies(等级制度) . In many companies, seniority-based (基于资历的) hierarchies have been replaced by hierarchies based on performance. The abilities to please your superiors are no longer the most valued skills.Today’s employees stay with comp anies only as long as they feel challenged and rewarded; moving from job to job is now a sign of ambition.The rise of the young is a good thing, because it gives them more opportunity to put their ideas and energy into practice at their most creative stage in life. Nowadays youth and youth qualities seem to dominate, but the experience and maturity of older employees should be put to good use, too.12.In the 20th century, to enter an American company,a young person needed to.A. work in the office and at homeB. have aneye-catching hairstyleC. dress in the business styleD. leave the business tool behind13. According to Paragraph 3, company hierarchies are based on the employees’.A. achievementsB. ageand experienceC. skillswith the InternetD. abilityto please the boss14. Why is the rise of the young a good thing?A. They become more energetic in life.B. They have taken over the companies.C. Their creativity can be put to good use.D. Their ideas appeal to a great many people.15. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Young people will lead in fashion.B. Youngpeople will have more power.C. Older peoplewill step off the historical stage.D. Older people will continue to be the main force.第二节(共5小题; 每小题3分,共15分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2018年高考英语模拟试题

2018年高考英语模拟试题第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AAustralians really know how to have a good time. Any type of hobby that you can think of can be found in Australia. The following are four top Australian pastimes.FishingFishing is probably one of the most popular free-time activities in Australia and many people love spending their free time waiting at the end of a rod for a fish to bite on their line. There is free public access to almost all beaches,canals and coasts,which means there are plenty of great places to fish.SurfingAnother popular pastime of the Australians is surfing. Australia has a lot of beautiful surf spots,especially in Queensland. Queensland has some of the best surf beaches in the country such as Noosa Heads,Stradbroke Island,and Burleigh Heads,with the Gold Coast being the best known.BoatingWhat else does an Australian do for fun on the weekend?They might go for a ride on their boat!Plenty of Australians live on the coast and are boat owners. Boat owners might take their craft out to go fishing,or they might just want to sail around the waters slowly.BarbecuesAustralians will also typically host barbecues with their friends and family. They really know how to barbecue. The standard of meat that is cooked and the quality of the cooking is second to none. With New Zealand being so close,the lamb is fresh and absolutely remarkable. But the lamb is not all that is cooked. Any one barbecue in Australia can expect upwards of 7 types of meat,from shrimps (?r)to kangaroos.21. Which of the following surf spots is the most famous in Queensland?A. Noosa Heads.B. the Gold Coast.C. Burleigh Heads.D. Stradbroke Island.22. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Tourists can hire boats to go for a ride.B. Tourists prefer fishing to other pastimes.C. The lamb is imported from New Zealand.D. People in New Zealand have better cooking skills.23. What are most of the four top Australian pastimes related to?A. Water.B. Sightseeing.C. Food.D. Deserts.BIt’s a rainy,cold winter afternoon. The boys are playing in their rooms,so it’s the perfect time to do some baking,just enjoying the peaceful moment as I knead(揉)bread dough(生面团). Suddenly,there is the sound of shouting,tears,a door slam,followed one of them calling,“Mom!He hurt me!”and footsteps running up the stairs. I sigh.My younger son is standing in front of me in tears. I go to hug him as my elder son comes up too,ready to defend his position. All hope of some quiet time has disappeared,but I just don’t feel like playing judge today.“So,who wants to help me bake some bread?”I ask brightly,ignoring their angry looks at not being able to tell me their tales of bitterness. No takers.“Bread is boring,”Tristan finally admits.“Okay,whatwould you like to make?”I ask.“Chocolate!”Sawyer yells,breaking free of my embrace.“Chocolate chip cookies!”Tristan agrees happily.As I watch Sawyer practice breaking eggs and Tristan reading on his own and patiently instructing his brother on how to measure brown sugar and see their excitement as they use the mixer to grind oats,I know there’s nothing else I’d rather be doing.The kitchen is a disaster. There is egg juice on the counter,flour on the floor,and a mountain of dishes to clean up. But peering through the mess are two happy faces―covered in chocolate,of course,but,smiling ear to ear---and the mess,and their previous fight,is forgotten.As we close the curtains,we sit together on the sofa,and dig into the big plate of cookies,fresh from the oven,baked with love and more than a dash of silliness.24. Why did the writer sigh?A. Her two sons fought again.B. She couldn’t do any baking.C. She had to play with naughty sons.D. Rain ruined a good winter afternoon.25. Why do the writer’s two sons look angry?A. They have to do some houseworkB. They can’t play referee todayC. They have no chance to complainD. They consider themselves treated unfairly26. While baking chocolate,the two boys ______.A. asked the writer to go for a restB. got along well with each otherC. did everything as the writer askedD. planned everything carefully in advance27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Everything Is a DisasterB. Baking Is TerribleC. Sons Can CookD. Chocolate Cookies End a FightCWhat is the most common cause for people in the UK to ask for leave due to illness?The answer is not the common cold or flu,but back pain. Back pain affects one in three British adults,costs the country over 5 billion pounds every year and is very difficult to treat. But now Britain's NationalHealth Service(NHS)will be offering a new solution:acupuncture. The ancient Chinese needle treatment has been around in the UK for many years,but this is the first time it has been officially approved by the NHS. Traditionally,doctors in the UK have advised back pain sufferers to stay active,do stretching exercises and take painkillers when necessary. In more serious cases some people are given X-ray treatment or injections with medicines.However,there is evidence that acupuncture may be more effective than expensive X-rays or injections,so patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given a choice. As an alternative to acupuncture,patients will be able to choose either a course of spinal manipulation(脊柱推拿),or a series of special exercise sessions. In the UK,acupuncture is regarded as an aiding treatment,which means medical procedure hasn’t experienced serious experiments by which scientists prove some treatments work. While many experts have welcomed the policy to make acupuncture available on the NHS,some are still skeptical about its effectiveness.Research from the US earlier this month found thatsimilar acupuncture using toothpicks(牙签)which do not stick into the skin could be as good as using real needles. So while some are yet to be convinced,back pain sufferers will be hoping that acupuncture helps get them feeling healthy again.28. According to the passage,which is the best way to treat back pain?A. To stay active.B. To be acupunctured.C. To do stretching exercisesD. To take X-ray treatment or injections.29. Why are some people still doubtful about the effectiveness of acupuncture?A. Because they have other choices.B. Because acupuncture is just an aiding treatment.C. Because using toothpicks is as good as using real needles.D. Because acupuncture hasn’t been tested by scientists strictly.30. What does the author want to prove in the last paragraph?A. Acupuncture can be an effective treatment for backpain.B. Toothpicks is a useful tool for acupuncture.C. Needles are no better than toothpicks.D. Toothpicks will take place of needles in the future.31. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The magic needles.B. Acupuncture in the UK.C. The ways to treat back pain.D. The reasons for people to ask for leave.DYoung children often“read”picture books. They’re attracted by the colorful scenery and the realistic characters that contribute to fascinating plots.Unfortunately,some children can’t use these resources,even if they do know how to read. Takethree-year old Elodie Bateson,for example. Elodie was born with under-developed eyes and has retinal detachments(?网膜脱落),making her visually impaired. It is because of people like Elodie that Tom Yeh,head of the Tactile Picture Books Project,has started printing 3D books,so they can feel the illustrations in picture books.The first book Tom Yeh printed was Goodnight Moon,a popular children’s book about a rabbit going to sleep and wishing good night to his surroundings. In the 3D version of this book,children can feel each thing that the rabbit says good night to,whether it is a cow jumping over the moon,a balloon,or a dollhouse.Generally,when children grow older,they read by using Braille,a language that was invented by Louis Braille in 1824. It uses different patterns of raised dots representing different letters. Readers can then feel the dots and mentally translate the patterns they feel into words. The only problem is that many blind children do not start learning Braille until they are about six years old.Another reason why 3D printed books are such a valuable resource is that children don’t have to know how to read to understand them. However,without these,visually impaired kids are losing six developmental years vital to their growth since they can’t take advantage of picture books.When 3D picture books are printed,plastic is layered (分层放置)repeatedly over a single shape:the shape of the illustration. These raised pictures created through layered plastic serve as substitutes for the Braille letters that little children have no knowledge of.32. What does the underlined word“impaired”in paragraph 2 mean?A. Unmatched.B. Disappeared.C. Defeated.D. Damaged.33. What can we know about Braille from Paragraph 5?A. The blind at any age can read by using Braille.B. Most people can translate Braille into words.C. Blind kids begin learning Braille at about six years old.D. Braille uses similar patterns of raised dots to stand for different letters.34. We can know that the illustrations in 3D books are raised ______.A. dotsB. picturesC. lettersD. plastic35. What is the aim of the Tactile Picture Books Project?A. To teach the blind children Braille.B. To encourage kids to read books.C. To cure visually impaired children.D. To help the blind children read picture books.第二? (共5 小题,每小题2 分,满分10 分)根据短文容,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。

The oldguard is suffering: this week's $67 billion merger(合并) between Dell and EMC, makers of computers and storage devices respectively(分别), was a marriage forced by the rise of the cloud.仔细审题、认真作答.试题习题、尽在百度Disruptive(捣乱的) newcomers are blooming: if Amazon's cloud-computing unit were a stand-alone public company, it would probably be worth almost as much as Dell and EMC combined.The gains for customers have been equally dramatic. Compared with older IT systems, cloud computing is often much cheaper. It adds tremendous flexibility: firms that need more computing capacity no longer have to spend weeks adding new servers and installing software. In the cloudthey can get hold of it in minutes. Their applications can be updated continually, rather than justevery few months. Individual users can reach their e-mails, files and photos from any device.And cloud services also tend to be more secure, since providers know better than their customershow to protect their computing systems against hackers.But cloud computing makes one problem worse. In the old IT world, once a firm or aconsumer had decided on an operating system or database, it was difficult and costly to switch to another. In the cloud this “lock-in”is even worse. Cloud providers go to great lengths to makeit easy to upload data. They accumulate huge amounts of complex information, which cannoteasily be moved to an alternative provider.Cloud firms also create a world of interconnected services, software and devices, which is convenient but only for as long as you don't venture(冒险) outside their universe. Being lockedin to a provider is risky. Firms can start to tighten the screws by increasing prices. If a cloudprovider goes bust(崩溃), its customers may have trouble getting back their data.These risks have already caused a debate about whether the cloud needs stricter regulation. Some European politicians want to force cloud providers to ensure that data can be moved between them. That is too heavy-handed, because strict rules will inhibit(阻碍) innovation in what is still a young industry. The history of computing suggests that common standards may well appear naturally in response to customers' demands—just as in personal computers, where it is now much easier to use the same files on different systems.In the meantime, a few commonsense measures can reduce the risk of lock-in. Firms thatuse more than one cloud provider to host their data are less affected. So are those that keep their most important information in their own data centres. Consumers can take precautions, too. Some services are better than others at enabling users to move data between providers (Google does well on this score). Cloud computing promises its users many benefits, but don't mistake it for some sort of digital heaven.仔细审题、认真作答.试题习题、尽在百度()58.

By changing the activity of thecells they were able to change the behaviour of risk-taking rats to avoid risk, hinting theapproach could in future be used to treat people with impulse(冲动) control problems.Risk-taking is a key part of survival, knowing when to take a chance could pay off—such仔细审题、认真作答.试题习题、尽在百度as moving to a new area to look for food when pickings are slim.While all animals need an element of risk, the preference towards it varies betweenindividuals. Researchers found this variation, which determines how risk-averse an individual is,is regulated by brain cells in a region of the brain called the nucleus accumbens. This cluster of neurons releases the neurotransmitter dopamine, which regulates the brain's reward and pleasure centres.Previous studies have shown that in patients with Parkinson's disease, taking medicationwhich blocks specific dopamine receptors (DR2)(受体) leads to increased gambling(赌博) behaviour and risk-taking behaviour. In studies with rats, researchers were able to use atechnique called optogenetics(光遗传学)—which uses light sensitive proteins to change theactivity of cells—to modify cells with DR2 in the nucleus accumbens.Rats were trained to choose one of two levers, offering them a choice between a “safe”or “risky”choice. The safe option resulted in a small, but consistent amount of a sugar water treat. But the risky choice consistently delivered smaller amounts of sugar water, with the-occasional large pay off—essentially encouraging the animals to gamble for a bigger prize. Around two-thirds of the animals weren't keen on risk, opting for the safe option, but the remaining third wererisk-seekers. Brain scans of the animals showed that those with low levels of DR2 consistentlywent for the gamble.But using pulses of light to stimulate(刺激) the DR2 cells and improve their activity couldcause the risk-takers to play it safe and opt for the guaranteed but less rewarding option. Oncethe light-pulses stopped, the risk-takers returned to their gambling strategy.In the risk-averse_animals,_stimulating the same cells had little to no effect.Professor Karl Deisseroth, of Stanford University in California, said: “Humans and rats have similar brain structures involved.”And we found a drug known to increase risk preference in people had the same effect on the rats. So every indication is that these findings are relevant to humans. “Risky behavior has its moments where it's valuable. As a species, we wouldn't have come as far as we have without it.”()63. The variation in people's preference towards risks is directly regulated by________.A. nucleus accumbensB. light sensitive proteins仔细审题、认真作答.试题习题、尽在百度C. neuronsD. dopamine()64. From the experiment with rats, we can conclude that ________.A. the lack of DR2 cells results in a safe optionB. the levels of DR2 have little to do with their choicesC. the high levels of DR2 can make animals avoid risksD. the risky choice is a less rewarding option()65. The underlined words in Paragraph 7 most likely mean the animals that are________.A. willing to take big risksB. reluctant to take risksC. fond of gambling strategyD. afraid of receiving stimulation()66. What can be inferred from what Professor Karl Deisseroth said?A. Humans and rats differ in their preference for risk-taking.B. Too much risk-taking can do more harm than good.C. Risk-taking can be used to treat people with impulse control problems.D. Risk-taking is a means of survival and brings higher returns to humans.DWisconsin has long been home to incredibly successful research and innovation thanks to our famous academic research institutions and some of the brightest scientific minds. From discovering how Vitamin D can best be absorbed, to unlocking the potential of stem cells, Wisconsin has pioneered remarkable breakthroughs in science that have improved health, saved lives and created jobs. These scientific breakthroughs have not only led to life-saving medical technologies but also have fostered(培育) a strong power in Wisconsin economy.Across America, groundbreaking research supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) alone adds millions of dollars to our economy every year. In fact, NIH funding generated an estimated $58 billion in economic output nationwide in 2014. NIH funding spurs economic growth by supporting jobs in research and by generating biomedical innovations that are turned into new products. NIH-supported innovations also influence improvements in health that can bolster the economy, improve productivity, and reduce illness and disability at home and across the globe. But, budget cuts and inadequate funding for NIH in the past decade have put both medical innovation and our next generation of researchers at risk.仔细审题、认真作答.试题习题、尽在百度Today, too many of our talented young scientists are deciding to do something else, or are leaving the country to pursue their research. Simply put, scientific and medical innovation depends on our ability to foster, support and invest in these new researchers.That is why I have worked across party lines with Senator Susan Collins of Maine and introduced the Next Generation (NextGen) Researchers Act. Our act builds opportunities for new researchers, helps address the debt burden that young scientists face today, and invests in the future of research, science, and innovation. This commonsense proposal would create the “Next Generation Researchers Initiative”within the NIH Office of the Director to coordinate(协调) all current and new NIH policies. The legislation(立法) also directs the NIH to consider recommendations from a National Academy of Sciences (NAS) comprehensive study and report on fostering the next generation of researchers.Finally, we must demonstrate a commitment to our future scientists who, like so many oftheir peers pursuing other fields, are struggling with crushing student loan debt. Our plan wouldalso increase the amount of loans that can be forgiven through the NIH's loan repayment programsto better account for the current debt load of new scientists. Higher education should be a path to prosperity, not suffocating debt, and this provision not only helps make higher education more affordable, but can help give new researchers a fair shot at pursuing their dreams.The NextGen Researchers Act will help to empower our next generation of researchers fromMaine to Wisconsin, and across our country, with the resources they need to continue to lead the world in groundbreaking biomedical research and development. I'm proud to have earned the support of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Medical College of Wisconsin, and many others, for my bipartisan work supporting Wisconsin's leadership in science, research and innovation.At a time when America's young researchers are facing the worst funding in decades, our bestand brightest minds deserve to know that our country stands with them and is committed tobuilding a stronger future.()67. Why does the author talk about Wisconsin in the first paragraph?A. To explain why some brightest scientific minds are rewarded for making contributions.B.

This is the first in a series of posts that explore and understand how each of the above forms of intelligence is affected by technology-mediated education.Verbal-linguistic Intelligence involves sensitivity to spoken and written language, theability to learn languages, and the capacity to use language to accomplish goals. Such intelligenceis developed by three specific activities: reading, writing and interpersonal communication—both仔细审题、认真作答.试题习题、尽在百度written and oral. The traditional tools that have been used to efficiently develop verbal/linguistic intelligence—textbook, pencil, and paper—are giving way to technology in many schools. E-books, Internet lesson plans, online assignments and word processing software, or a subset of theabove, are now common in schools. Technology allows addition of multisensory(多种感觉的) elements that provide meaningful contexts to help comprehension, thus expanding the learning ground of language and linguistics.Research into the effect of technology on the development of the language and literacy skillsvis-à-vis reading activities of children has offered evidence for favorable effects of digital-form books. A study shows that digital reading materials have become common in developingcountries in early childhood classrooms to support engagement in storybooks while enhancing(加强) the emergent literacy(早期读写能力) among children. E-books are also being increasinglyused to teach reading among beginners and children with reading difficulties.Technology can be used to improve reading ability in many ways. It can enhance and sustainthe interest levels for children by allowing immediate feedback on performance and providing added practice when necessary. Recent research shows that students are able to improve their sight word vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension through computer-based reading.Technology can also help in improvement of writing skills. Word processing softwarepromotes not only composition but also editing and revising in ways that streamline the task of writing. Desktop publishing and web-based publishing allow the work to be taken beyond the classroom into a virtual world that allows more constructive interactions.Technology enhanced oral communication is indeed useful in that it allows students fromremote locations, or from all over the world to communicate orally through video and audio conferencing tools. For example, students of languages in Australian universities overcome the problem of insufficient contact with native language speakers by using online audio and videotools that allow the development of aural, vocal and visual-cognition skills that are important in verbal and linguistic education. Oral group discussions in the form of video conferencing can help non-native speakers of a language with natural language negotiation and cultural intonations in ways that have not been possible due to geographic isolation.Computer definitely aided language learning and computer mediated communication enhance teaching and learning experiences in the areas of linguistics and language intelligence.

One key to a relaxing and meaningful holiday is finding what works best for you,both in terms of gift giving and other holiday traditions.Putting some thought into what the holidays mean to you and then focusing your energies on those aspects that leave you feeling most satisfied can help you let go of the stuff that may be stressing you out.28.What can we learn about the holiday gifts generations ago?A. They were valueless.B. They were highly valued.C. They were given little attention.D. They were more about expressing feelings.29.What is the result of focusing too much on receiving?A. Receivers are often disappointed.B. Gifts become the focus of holidays.C. Our culture grows more commercial.D. Much more money was spent on gifts.30.According to the text,how can we make holidays more meaningful?A. Avoiding giving and receiving gifts.B. Figuring out your real expectations.C. Doing some shopping in the holidays.D. Putting more thought into the gifts to give.31.What can be the best title for the text?A. The Changes in Giving GiftsB. What Stresses You out on Holidays?C. Are the Holidays Too Materialistic?D. The Development of Holiday TraditionsDAsking a patient to hum(哼唱)piano tunes and play fin instrument while undergoing brain surgery(手术)may sound like a strange request from a doctor.However,that is exactly what a team of brain specialists,led by Pilcher,requested Dan Fabbio to do.In 2015,the then 25-year-old musician was diagnosed with a brain tumor(肿瘤),which was located in the part of the brain known to be active when people listen to and make music.“Removing a tumor from the brain can have significant consequences depending on its location,”Pilcher says.“Both the tumor and the operation can damage tissue and affect communication between different parts of the brain.”Fabbio,therefore,feared the surgery would cause him to lose his musical ability.To prevent that from happening,Pilcher and his colleague designed many tests,including asking Fabbio to listen to piano tunes and hum back during MRI scans.This enabled the physicians to locate the area that is vital for music and language processing and create a 3-D map of Fabbio’s brain.Despite the great starting point,it was not a perfect way to prevent possible damage to the.The only way was to keep the patient awake and ask him to hum piano tunes during the surgery so that the surgeons could identify the areas to avoid.While the surgery went smoothly,the real test came when Fabbio was asked to play a song on his saxophone.The tunehad been simplified to ensure that it would not require too much strength and cause harm to the stitches(缝线)in the brain.He played it faultlessly,and when he finished,the entire operating room erupted in applause.The researchers say that a year after the groundbreaking surgery,the young musician can once again hear tunes in everything—even his electric toothbrush.32.What can we infer from P ilcher’s words in Paragraph 2?A. Fabbio’s brain was seriously damaged.B. The surgery would be a huge challenge.C. Fabbio’s brain parts failed to communicate.D. The surgery had to be performed immediately.33.What’s the major difficulty in Fabbio’s surg ery?A. To keep his brain active.B. To help him overcome fear.C. To protect his musical ability.D. To enable him to play an instrument.34.What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Creating a 3-D map of Fabbio’s brain.B. Removing the tumor from Fabbio’s brain.C. Keeping Fabbio awake during the surgery.D. Listening to piano tunes during MRI scans.35.Why was Fabbio requested to hum piano tunes during the surgery?A. To save his strength.B. To check the surgery result.C. To make the stitches work easier.D. To locate the vital area for music.三、七选五Gratitude(感恩)is a social feeling.Many people see it as relationship—strengthening because it requires us to see how we’ve been supported and recognized by other people.First,it’s belief o f goodness.We are convinced that there are good things in the world,gifts and benefits we’ve received.The second part of gratitude is figuring out where that goodness comes from.36.It doesn’t come from anything we necessarily did ourselves.Instead,we acknowledge that other people gave us many gifts to help us achieve the goodness in our lives.37.Of course,there are various important reasons.Here are some of them.Gratitude allows us to celebrate the present.38.We notice the positives more,and that enlarge the pleasures you get from life.Instead of adapting to goodness,we celebrate goodness.Gratitude blocks negative feelings.You cannot feel envious and grateful at the same time.39.If you’re grateful,you can’t hate someone for having something that you don’t.Those are very different ways of connecting to the world,and sure enough,research has suggested that people who have high levels of gratitude have low levels of negative feelings.40.That’s because when you’re grateful,you have the sense that someone else has provided for your happiness.You notice a network of relationships of people think it’s worthwhile to help you get to where you are right now.Realizing someone has seen the value in you transforms the way you see yourself.A.They’re contradictory feelings.B.It strengthens positive feelings.C.Gratitude heightens your sense of self-worth.D.Most of the time,it makes you feel confused.E.Gratitude allows us to participate more in life.F.So why gratitude has such effects on people’s lives?G.We recognize the sources of it as being outside of ourselves.第II卷(非选择题)四、短文改错41.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

PART A Reading AloudEighty percent of plants on earth have flowers. Flowers have just one role:to enable the plant to produce offspring. Color, perfume, nectar and shape all act to make a flower irresistible. Sunflowers grow to face the rising sun. The warmth of the rays speeds the production of nectar and this lures pollinators. One after another, hundreds of individual florets produce pollen-covered stamens. And like most flowers, sunflowers establish a close relationship with animals in order to ensure their reproduction. As these bees busily feed on nectar, they unwittingly brush against the stamens, collecting pollen and then carry it from flower to flower.PART B Role Play角色:你是学生。

AYou may be familiar with the following famous people, but have you heard of their graduation speeches, in which they either share their unforgotten experiences or give you some great inspiration.●Michael Dell,University of Texas at AustinAnd now you've accomplished something great and important here, and it's time for you to move on to what's you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps. ... You must also commit to the adventure. Just have faith in the skillsand the knowledge you've been blessed with and go.● UniversityHalf my lifetime ago, I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich...But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty, but failure .The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure, you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.●Steve Jobs,Stanford UniversitySometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a 't lose faith...Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet,keep looking, and don't settle.●Bill Gates,Harvard UniversityWe need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another. They are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities, smaller organizations, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches and deal with the world's inequities(不公平)like hunger, poverty, and so on.Michael Dell said is to urge us to .to our heartour dreamsothers' examplefrom our mistakesdid fear most when she was studying in university. . . .wants to express "Keep looking for what you believe in"Dell. Gates. Jobs.does Bill Gates suggest people docontributions to the environment.responsibility for their own behavior.joint efforts to rid some global problems.as much advanced technology as possible.BMany people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometowns behind. Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.One of the first considerations may be financial. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.Another major factor is the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake. Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college.School size also plays a major role in the decision you want to get to know your teachers and avoid feeling like just a number, a small college is those of you who consider yourself a "people person" and want a wide range of activities, a large college is more fitting.Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision-making process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.Finally,one must take into consideration the colleges to which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good , an average school for an above-average student would not work college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there,there probably will be one that is close. Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.'s the main idea of the textof choosing a college.in attending a school.and cons of going to college.in choosing a college.can infer from the passage that .Ivy League school is probably a state collegesmall college may bring you a sense of emptinessstudents are likely to choose private collegesaverage school isn't suitable for an average student"people person" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to .person who tends to be aloneperson who is good at socialityperson who is afraid of teachersperson who is accustomed to a noisy atmospheredoes the author think of choosing a collegesmall college is a better choice for shy students.northern college has a more comfortable climate.location of a college is more important than the size of it.will always find a suitable college if you look hard enough.CIn 2000, Suy Senglim met a French journalist who inspired in him an interest in photography. To put this new-found interest to good use,in 2012 he began to take pictures of Cambodia's vast variety of birdlife.Worried by the loss of biodiversity in his hometown of Mukh Kampul in Kandal province, Senglim created a photography project. He carefully documents each new species he photographs: the common name,scientific name, its identifying features,whether the species is endangered or the 35-year-old aims to educate Cambodians about the importance of bird species and the effect development has on nature.Senglim thinks the biggest issues are damage to habitat andillegal hunting. Through his photography work he has also discovered what makes the problem worse is that there is not enough education and law enforcement. Hunting is at the root of Cambodian culture. Educating Cambodians about the need for conservation is of great importance to Senglim. "Education is very limited. And in terms of legal enforcement, only one institution is standing out,and that is Wildlife Alliance, which has conducted a string of successful crackdowns(镇压)so far. However,there are few major campaigns on wildlife hunting as a whole."Senglim is working on a book on 100 significant bird species from some of the 400 species he has so far photographed,which he hopes will be published in early 2018. He says he looks forward to teaching in high schools and colleges to inspire a new generation of nature-lovers. "I think it's time to change the attitude, "he says.did Senglim carry out his photography projecttaking more pictures in the wild.improving his photography skills.renewing his interest in loving life.recording new birdlife he photographs.is Senglim's discovery about the wildlife facing greater risksdevelopment of the wasteland.of education and law enforcement.number of wildlife recorded in Cambodia.campaigns conducted by Wildlife Alliance.does Senglim expect to do in futurelegal enforcement.more books about photography.people's attitude to bird species.basic education in various schools.DEveryone needs to be safe,loved and to have a sense of belonging. These are inborn and natural basic needs. In an effort to have these needs satisfied, many of us tend to please others. And it works for a find that we experience less conflict with others, but the conflict within ourselves "no" produces feeling of guilt and saying "yes" brings anger.My father was in the military, so we moved shy, I didn't make friends. What's more,I grew up in a household where grades, image and how others saw our family were very our household a "C" was unacceptable, a "B" should have been an "A" and an "A" meant the lesson was too was too skinny, my sister was too fat and my brother's lips and ears were too big for his tiny head.To stop pleasing others is easier said than done. It's a long process, one in which I am consistently working to perfect. The turning point for me came shortly after I got very first thing we did to end the cycle of catering to others was develop our own identity as individuals and then as a then we developed a strong set of core(核心)values and a vision for our third and one of the most valuable things we did during this process was develop our own personal influence on others and we valued deeply the opinions of the wiser and more successful people around us.Besides,we should understand that sometimes helping people actually hurts them. Struggle is necessary to success. Struggle strengthens character, making people determined. So sometimesallowing people to struggle is the best thing you can do for them. are we likely to feel when pleasing others. . . D..Guilty.can we infer from the author's experience as a childgrew up doing a lot of housework.was hard for him to adjust to the moving life.realized the value of opinions from others.parents had great expectations of the children.is the third paragraph mainly aboutsteps the author took to go on pleasing others.the author stepped out of the cycle of pleasing others.the author further developed his values and character.the author turned to others for their valuable opinions.does the author suggest doingothers without delay.to help others.twice before offering help.someone alone in trouble.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。
