Father's GardenMy father was always a good（酷爱的） gardener．One of my earliest memories is standing without shoes in the freshly tilled （翻耕的） soil, my hands blackened from digging in the ground．As a child, I loved following Dad around in the garden．I remember Dad pushing the tiller （耕作机） ahead in perfectly straight lines．Dad loved growing all sorts of things: yellow and gree n onions, watermelons almost as big as me, rows of yellow corn, and our favorite---red tomatoes．As I grew into a teenager, I didn't get so excited about gardening with Dad．Instead of mag ical land of possibility, it had turned into some kind of prison．As Dad grew older, his love fo r gardening never disappeared．After all the kids were grown and had started families of the ir own, Dad turned to gardening like never before．Even when he was diagnosed with cancer , he still took care of his garden．But then, the cancer, bit by bit, invaded his body．I had to do the things he used to do．Wh at really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year．The rows a nd rows of multicolored vegetables were gone．Too tired to weed them, he simply let them b e．He only planted tomatoes．For the first few years after he died, I couldn't even bear to look at anyone's garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket．Three years ago, I dec ided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes．That morning, after breaking up a fair amount of soil, something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile．It was my eight-year-old son Nathan, happily playing in the freshly tilled soil．（1）Why did the author like the garden when he was a child？________A He wanted to be a garden-crazy like his father． B He loved being in the garden with his father． C The garden was full of his favorite food． D The garden was just freshly tilled．（2）When all the kids started their own families，the author's father________．A stopped his gardening．B turned to other hobbies．C devoted more to gardenin g．D focused on planting tomatoes．（3）What happened to the garden when the author's father was seriously ill？________A There was a great harvest．B The garden was almost deserted．C No plant grew in the garden at all．D The author's son took charge of the garden．（4）Why did the author start his garden with tomatoes？________A He wanted to honor his father．B His son liked the fields of tomatoes．C He only knew how to grow tomatoes．D He thought tomatoes were easy to manage．18. Comment on CRIHere are the comments on CRI （China Radio International） given by people from differe nt countries on the Internet．（1）Which of the following benefits of CRI is NOT mentioned above？________A CRI helps to keep its listeners up-to-date． B CRI helps its listeners to better understand China． C CRI helps its listeners to practice and improve foreign languages． D CRI helps its listeners broaden their kno wledge with its rich contents．（2）The underlined phrase"quench the thirst"refers to________．A satisfy one's need B． C take care of D．（3）What can be concluded from the four comments？________A CRI has a great influence on our society and lives．B Wonderful though CRI is，there are still many weaknesses．C CRI plays an important role in introducing the world to China． D CRI has made great efforts to make itself better and gained popularity．19. Chinese Dinner TableOf course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife an d fork, but that's only superficial．Besides, in decent restaurants, you can always ask for a pa ir of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough．The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the tabl e and everyone shares．If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the hos t thinks you're in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes．The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main c ourses of hot meat and vegetable dishes．Soup then will be served （unless in Guangdong st yle restaurants） to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings．If y ou wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all．Perhaps one of the things that surprise a western visitor most is that some of the Chinese h osts like to put food into the plates of their guests．In formal dinners, there are always"publi c"chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks．Thi s is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness．It is always polite to eat the food．If you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate．People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed．When you have had enough, just say so．Or you will always overeat!（1）The real difference on dinner table between China and West is that________．A You're treated to a formal dinner for the first time．B On Chinese dinner table，chopsticks replace knife and fork．C The host will do the best to give you a taste of man y different types of dishes．D You have your own plate of food in West while in China ev eryone shares the dishes．（2）If you have a dinner in a Chinese home，in which order will the food be served？________A badc.B cabd.C bdac.D cdab．（3）The"public chopsticks and spoons"are used to________．A taste different dishes．B consume the food in the plate．C show the friendship a nd politeness．D put food into the plates of their guests．（4）According to the message，the author's attitude towards Chinese dinner table is________A criticalB． C negative D．20. It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of moder n life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible．Everybody knows that the nicest me n would become fierce tigers behind the wheel．It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter．Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense．It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude dri ving．On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting．A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politen ess helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic c onditions．But such behaviorsof politeness are by no means enough．Many drivers nowada ys don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it．However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous．Typical examples are the driver wh owaves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may n ot beable to stop in time．The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherev er andwhenever they want to．An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings．Unfortunately, modern drivers can't even learn to drive, let alone master the road man ship ．Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand m ore give-and-takefrom all road users．It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart．（1）The passage mainly talks about________．A Road politeness．B Traffic jams．C Good manners．D Modern drivers．（2）Troubles on the road are often caused by________．A great speed．B traffic jams．C terrible road conditions．D the behavior of t he drivers．（3）According to the writer，a good driver should________．A beat back when forced to face rude driving．B be able to recognize politeness when he sees it． C join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel． D encourage o ld ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to．（4）It is not always right for drivers to________．A master roadman ship．B create atmosphere of good will．C encourage old ladie s to cross the road．D give a friendly nod to show politeness．21.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。

from digging in the ground．As a child，I loved following Dad around in the garden．I remember Dad pushing the tiller（耕作机） ahead in perfectly straight lines．Dad loved growing all sorts of things：yellow and green onions，watermelons almost as big as me，rows of yellow corn，and our favorite﹣﹣﹣red tomatoes．As I grew into a teenager，I didn't get so excited about gardening with Dad．Instead of magical land of possibility，it had turned into some kind of prison．As Dad grew older，his love for gardening never disappeared．After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own，Dad turned to gardening like never before．Even when he was diagnosed with cancer，he still took care of his garden．But then，the cancer，bit by bit，invaded his body．I had to do the things he used to do．What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year．The rows and rows of multicolored vegetables were gone．Too tired to weed them，he simply let them be．He only planted tomatoes．For the first few years after he died，I couldn't even bear to look at anyone's garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket．Three years ago，I decided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes．That morning，after breaking up a fair amount of soil，something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile．It was my eight﹣year﹣old son Nathan，happily playing in the freshly tilled soil．36．Why did the author like the garden when he was a child？A．He wanted to be a garden﹣crazy like his father．B．He loved being in the garden with his father．C．The garden was full of his favorite food．D．The garden was just freshly tilled．37．When all the kids started their own families，the author's father ．A．stopped his gardening．B．turned to other hobbies．C．devoted more to gardening．D．focused on planting tomatoes．38．What happened to the garden when the author's father was seriously ill？A．There was a great harvest．B．The garden was almost deserted．C．No plant grew in the garden at all．D．The author's son took charge of the garden．39．Why did the author start his garden with tomatoes？A．He wanted to honor his father．B．His son liked the fields of tomatoes．C．He only knew how to grow tomatoes．D．He thought tomatoes were easy to manage．40．（6分）Comment on CRIHere are the comments on CRI （China Radio International） given by people from different countries on the Internet．People CommentsYingtian Hu Guangzhou，China This is the first time that I participate in CRI．And I like it very much．I hope its website will become the most excellent one with the foreign languages．And I choose the important news which I think has a great influence on our society and our lives．In the end，I hope that more and more persons join in CRI and makeit perfect!SujanParajuli，Select city，Nepal I am both a regular listener of CRI and visitor of its wonderful Website．First of all，I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to CRI for its great efforts to keep the listeners up﹣to﹣date during the year 2008．We，the listeners，are greatly grateful to CRI for its praise﹣worthy efforts to quench the thirst of its dear listeners．During the Year 2008，I found all of your programs quite interesting，informative and educational．Once again，thanks a lot for offering bonanza of information，news，entertainment and many items which have indeed broaden the horizons of our knowledge and understanding as well．Ibrahim Rustamov，Tajikistan With CRI，I was impressed by China's rapid development in all spheres．But I felt so sorry to get to know about the snowstorms in China and Wenchuan earthquake．CRI and CCTV play a great role in introducing China to the world!Kudos!My friends andI wish CRI all the best!Mike Thatcher，London My family and I are all keen on Chinese Culture，especially the beautiful Chinese folk music．Various interesting programs by CRI just open a window for us foreigners，through which we can know more about China and have a better understanding of the Chinese culture．Best wishes to CRI!Best wishes to China!40．Which of the following benefits of CRI is NOT mentioned above？A．CRI helps to keep its listeners up﹣to﹣date．B．CRI helps its listeners to better understand China．C．CRI helps its listeners to practice and improve foreign languages．D．CRI helps its listeners broaden their knowledge with its rich contents．41．The underlined phrase"quench the thirst"refers to ．A．satisfy one's need B．supply drinksC．take care of D．keep in touch with42．What can be concluded from the four comments？A．CRI has a great influence on our society and lives．B．Wonderful though CRI is，there are still many weaknesses．C．CRI plays an important role in introducing the world to China．D．CRI has made great efforts to make itself better and gained popularity．43．（8分）Chinese Dinner TableOf course，the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork，but that's only superficial．Besides，in decent restaurants，you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork，if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough．The real difference is that in the West，you have your own plate of food，while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares．If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you're in the country for the first time，he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes．The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes，to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes．Soup then will be served （unless in Guangdong style restaurants） to be followed by staple food ranging from rice，noodles to dumplings．If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes，you should say so in good time，for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all．Perhaps one of the things that surprise a western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests．In formal dinners，there are always"public"chopsticks and spoons for this purpose，but some hosts may use their own chopsticks．This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness．It is always polite to eat the food．If you do not eat it，just leave the food in the plate．People in China tend to over﹣order food，for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed．When you have had enough，just say so．Or you will always overeat!43．The real difference on dinner table between China and West is that ．A．You're treated to a formal dinner for the first time．B．On Chinese dinner table，chopsticks replace knife and fork．C．The host will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes．D．You have your own plate of food in West while in China everyone shares the dishes．44．If you have a dinner in a Chinese home，in which order will the food be served？a．serving soup．b．a set of four cold dishes．c．staple food such as rice，noodle or dumplings．d．the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes．A．badc B．cabd C．bdac D．cdab45．The"public chopsticks and spoons"are used to ．A．taste different dishesB．consume the food in the plateC．show the friendship and politenessD．put food into the plates of their guests46．According to the message，the author's attitude towards Chinese dinner table isA．critical B．objective C．negative D．positive．47．（8分）It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams，the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life，but manners on the road are becoming horrible．Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel．It is all right to have a tiger in a cage，but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter．Road politeness is not only good manners，but good sense．It takes the most cool﹣headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving．On the other hand，a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting．A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions．But such behaviorsof politeness are by no means enough．Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it．However，misplaced politeness can also be dangerous．Typical examples are the driver whowaves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not beable to stop in time．The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever andwhenever they want to．An experienced driver，whose manners are faultless，told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings．Unfortunately，modern drivers can't even learn to drive，let alone master the road man ship．Years ago，experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give﹣and﹣takefrom all road users．It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart．47．The passage mainly talks about ．A．Road politenessB．Traffic jamsC．Good mannersD．Modern drivers48．Troubles on the road are often caused by ．A．great speedB．traffic jamsC．terrible road conditionsD．the behavior of the drivers49．According to the writer，a good driver should ．A．beat back when forced to face rude drivingB．be able to recognize politeness when he sees itC．join in traffic stream quickly however other people feelD．encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to50．It is not always right for drivers to ．A．master roadman shipB．create atmosphere of good willC．encourage old ladies to cross the roadD．give a friendly nod to show politeness．51．（10分）How Can I Fight Laziness？Lazy people will never amount to anything in life．However，laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind．（51）．Many people lack sleep constantly，since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work．These people have little motivation once they arrive home．Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things．By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest，you can fight laziness throughout the day．Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active．Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task．Others take a more proactive approach，viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone．（52）Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations（诱惑） that surround them．A television in the living room may provide entertainment，but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness．（53）complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy，such as a good dinner or a film．Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home．Couples and children may all have different energy levels，but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately．（54） Be the first to collect and washdishes after a meal．Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task．It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people．（55） enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle，thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits．A．To fight family laziness，set an example．B．Knowing how to fight laziness is important．C．One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep．D．Finally，taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness．E．With strong determination，you will be able to achieve your goal．F．Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life．G．Create a reward system for yourself，just as parents do for a child．四、书面表达（共两节，35分）56．（15分）你打算毕业后去美国留学，想咨询你的美国朋友Chris，请你根据以下提示写一封信．1．目的：增长见识，体验文化；2．困惑：语言障碍，学业压力；3．征求建议．注意：1．词数不少于502．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯．3．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总次数．Dear Chris，YoursJoe．57．（20分）假设你是红星中学高三（1）班的学生李华．下面四幅图描述了上周六和好友爬西山时你受伤的故事．请根据图片的先后顺序，为校刊"英语园地"写一篇短文．词数不少于60．英语试题答案一、单项填空（共15小题：每小题1分，共15分）1．【解答】答案：B本句考查的是祈使句，它一般以动词原形开头．故选B2．【解答】答案A分析句子成分可知，先行词是workers，定语从句中的help缺少定语修饰，人称代词their不能用于定语从句，定语从句中which与that都不能作定语，在定语从句中能做定语的关系代词只有whose．所以用whose在从句中作定语，修饰help．故选A．3．【解答】答案 D分析句子成分可知，这里需要用非谓语作定语修饰professor，因为professor和pay a visit是主动关系，所以用现在分词做后置定语．选项A是动词的第三人称单数形式，选项B表示动作未发生，不合语境，选项C是过去分词表被动，故选D．4．【解答】答案：选A本句是一个定语从句，先行词为a free class，它描述的是每周日下午4：00开始上的课，所以应选用一般现在时态．故选A．5．【解答】答案选BWhat he could作He did 的宾语，后面省略了to，所以需要填的是目的状语，只有不定式可以做目的状语，故选B6．【解答】答案C．must"必须"；should"应该"；will"愿意"；can"能，可能"．will可以表示人的意愿，意思是"愿意"．根据句子所表达的意思可知答案选C．7．【解答】答案D．"_____we differ"是表语从句，做is的表语．分析表语从句的句子成分可知：we是主语，differ 是谓语，并且differ是不及物动词，所以表语从句中不缺少主宾表，缺少的是状语，可排除连接代词what和which，故B和C不正确．再根据句子所表达的意思"这正是我们不同的地方"，而how的语义不正确，可排除A项，所以答案选D．8．【解答】答案选A 由 when suddenly Jim opened it（这时吉姆打开了门）可知，我正朝门外走．所以用过去进行时．故选A．9．【解答】答案选C这里是not until引导的时间状语从句，不能用一般将来时，可以用一般现在时代替一般将来，或现在完成时代替将来完成式，而且program和approve是被动关系，故选C．10．【解答】答案选B从句用的是一般现在时，故主句要用将来时．本句选will be going表示"直到今晚11点钟到达芝加哥达之前"一直在进行的动作，所以要用将来进行时．故选B．11．【解答】答案 BA．when当…时候，不合句意；before在…之前；after在…之后，不合逻辑；since自从…以来，后跟时间点，主句常用现在完成进行时．故排除A、C、D三个选项．因为句型：It will be+一段时间+before从句，意为"要过多久才…"，符合句意．故选B．12．【解答】答案：D．本题考查过去分词做定语表示动作的被动和完成，相当于一个省略的定语从句．即：shaped like an"E"=which was shaped like an"E"．being shaped表示动作正在被进行；to be shaped表示动作将要被进行．13．【解答】答案选Cat一般用于点钟与地点的前面；from从；upon"在…时；一…就…"讲，；as作连词表示"当…时候"引导时间状语从句．所以要用upon表达"一进入教室，就要…"故选C．14．【解答】答案选C 解析：考查名词性从句．in介词后面接宾语从句，且从句中do缺宾语，故选C项．why、how 在句中作状语；which在名词性从句中作定语．15．【解答】答案：D．这里的Had he studied harder，是省略倒装的虚拟条件句，相当于：If he had studied harder，与过去事实相反，所以主句用would have done，故选D．二、完形填空（共1小题；每小题1.5分，共30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题上将该项涂黑．16．C【解答】动词辨析题．根据the car by the roadside and waited for her．故选C，stopped停车．17．A 【解答】介词辨析．根据the car window，there was a

石景山区2014高考英语阅读理解暑假训练〔6〕与答案The first field season is now over at the hut village of the workmen who built the tombs in the Valley of the Kings. However，the archaeologists working on the excavation(挖掘)have found that they still have a great deal to do. The sun, the wind and tourists have left their mark on the village, originally discovered by Bernard Bruyhre in 1935．“From our modern perspective，it is upsetting to see how the village was first excavated and then left to be destroyed. Passers-by have used the huts as rubbish dumps and restrooms,〞says Jaana Toivari—Viitala, a teacher at the University of Helsinki.“Fortunately, while we still have some surface cleaning to do, conservation are off to a good start.〞The hut village offers rare insight into everyday life in ancient Egypt.“In the early twentieth century，archaeologists were only interested in the tombs of kings. The workmen’s huts they discovered were seen as a necessary evil in the quest for the real treasures.〞“Now several international researc h groups on different excavations are examining everyday life and work in the Valley of the Kings. This seems to be a trend in archaeology right now.〞 Toivari-Viitala says．Her research group wants to find out why the hut village was built on the slope of a mountain，halfway between the construction site and Deir-el-Medina. They are also interested in how many workers lived in the village at a time, when they lived there, and what their role was in the construction work.“Comparing the names found in the vi llage and in Deir-el-Medina provides useful information．Judging from the construction methods，settlement in the village can be divided into two separate periods: the initial settlement and a later one.〞For the time being，much is up to guessing, but Toivari-Viitala believes that the coming four field seasons, three months each, will see results.“The working conditions are not nearly as difficult as I thought they would be.The cool winds in the mountains nicely alleviate the heat.〞The research group worki ng on the “Workmen’s huts in the Theban mountains〞project is planning to return to the Valley of the Kings in October.13. What does the passage mainly talk about? ________A. The hut village in the Valley of the Kings.B. The excavation of the tombs in the Valley.C. The archaeologists working on the excavation.D. Everyday life and work in the Valley of the Kings.14. Which of the following is NOT true of the hut village according to the passage? _______A. It has been damaged a lot.B. It can tell us something about ancient Egypt.C. It has attracted archaeologists’ attention.D. It has a lot of real treasures somewhere in it.15. What’s the new trend in archaeology right now according to Toivari-Viitala?A. Being interested in the tombs of kings．B. Examining everyday life and work in the Valley of the Kings.C. Using the huts as rubbish dumps and restrooms．D. Guessing what the result will be beforehand．16. We can infer from the passage that__________.A. people know little about the hut village by nowB. the workmen’s huts were not discovered until very recentlyC. the research group working on the workmen’s huts will suffer a lotD. the hut village is much more valued by archaeologists than the tombs〔D篇〕ADBA********************************************************完毕Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for its stadium and theatres, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii's people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano. Mount Vesuvius had not erupted for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii.When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in every bakery, In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread-a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women like to wear eye-makeup.Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.57. Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?A. To visit the volcanoB. To shop and eat there.C. To watch sports and playsD. To see how Pompeiians lived.58. Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?A. The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.B. The area produced the finest wine in Italy.C. Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.D. The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.59. Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 797A. Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.B. Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.C. Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.D. Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.60. What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 years ago?A. They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.B. They liked women wearing all kinds of makeup.C. They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.D. They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79参考答案*********************************************************完毕COPENHAGEN—The world is gathered in Copenhagen for the U.N. climate summit, but Denmark’s bicycle-friendly capital has also given its name to a movement of cities trying to find a kinder way to commute〔往返上下班〕.Nearly 40 percent of Copenhagen’s population cycle to work or school on ubiquitous〔无处不在的〕 paved cycle paths. Many residents take to their bikes year-round, braving rain and snow through the winter in a city where the bicycles outnumber the people.Amsterdam and Beijing too are known for their bicycles, but the Danish capital is where urban planners from around the world have been looking for ways to get their people out of cars and up onto bikes, an effort known as Copenhagenisation.Klaus Bondam, Copenhagen’s technical and environmental chief, calls himself a “mega cyclist〞and says the bike’s popularity stems partly from high taxes on cars which meant working-class Danes could not afford to drive in the 1930s and 40s. “Today you’ll meet everybody on the bicycle lanes --- women and men, rich and poor, old and young,〞 Bondam said.The local government has during the last three years invested more than 250 million crowns ($49.42 million) in bicycle lanes and to make the traffic safer for bicyclists. Today around a third of the population drive cars to work or study, another third take public transport, while 37 percent cycle -- a figure the city aims to boost to 50 percent by 2015.There are many benefits when citizens choose bicycles over cars: pollution and noise decline, public health improves, and more people on bikes or walking creates a sense of safety in the city. Fewer parked cars leaves more space for playgrounds, parks, shopping areas and other useful public places.14．According to the first paragraph, Copenhagen is better known as __________.A．a city without cars B．a bicycle-friendly cityC．Denmark’s capital D．the U.N. climate summit15．We can learn from the second and the third paragraph, _________.A．there is no path for cars during rainy and snowy daysB．citizens are limited to have only one bike for each personC．two-thirds of people in Copenhagen cycle to work or schoolD．city planners try their best to encourage more citizens to ride bikes 16．Bikes are popular in Copenhagen partly because __________.A．the citizens are unable to afford to buy a carB．the rich tend to keep fit by cycling to workC．young people regard cycling a fashion to followD．high taxes were paid for cars in the 1930s and 40s17．Which of the following is NOT the benefit of cycling?A．Saving time on the road.B．Declining pollution and noise.C．Improving public health.D．Creating safety in the city.14-17 BDDA**********************************************************完毕LONDON〔Reuters〕- Britain needs to spend up to one billion pounds a year to protect easily destroyed English wildlife habitats from climate change, intensive〔集约〕farming and population growth, a government-backed report said on Friday.It urged the government to transform conservation policy in the next 40 years to avoid a devastating loss of the countryside that supports thousands of important plants, trees and animals.British ecologist John Lawton, who led the year-long study, said England’s wildlife habitats are too small and isolated to protect many species from increased strains in coming decades.Creating a stronger, better connected network of well-managed habitats will cost between 600 million pounds and 1.1 billion pounds each year, the report estimated 〔估计〕.Failure to act could lead to the loss of areas rich with diverse species, such as meadows, wiids and rivers, the report said. Centuries of human activity have helped to shape these habitats and they will need ongoing management if they are to survive, it said.The United Nations called on world leaders this week to take bold action to preserve animal and plant species. It says the world is facing the worst losses since the dinosaurs vanished 65 million years ago.England has at least 55,000 species, including significant levels of bats, bumblebees, wildfowl and mature oak trees.The pace and scale of environmental change over the last 50 years was worrying and is likely to get worse, the report said.Future threats include extreme weather, droughts〔干旱〕, rising sea levels and the loss of areas like wet grasslands to farming to feed a growing population, the report said.Its authors made 24 recommendations to create stronger habitats.

北京市石景山区2014届高三统一测试英语试题2
北京市石景山区2014届高三统一测试英语试题2高考英语2014-04-06 1634()Let’s suppose that we are outside on a beautiful summer day trying to take a picture of the family dog. We are using a film camera. We finally get the dog to lie still. You point the camera at him. What happens? Light goes into the camera lens and hits the shutter. In other words, nothing happens yet. Now let’s say that the dog looks really cute and you decide to snap a picture. What happens? When you press the button, the shutter open for a very short period of time. A small amount of light passes through and hits the film at the back of the camera. This creates an upside-down and reversed (反向的)image on the film.When you finish the roll of the film, you can take it to the photo shop to develop it and you will have a great picture of your dog!Cameras come with different lens lengths. Why does it matter? Many small cameras have shorter focal lengths, which means that there is a small distance between the lens and the place where the light focuses at the back of the camera. This gives you a large view of the area you are taking a picture of. Lenses with a long focal length show a smaller area but allow you to focus on distant objects and make them bigger. They are often called telephoto lenses. A good example of a long focus lens is one that is used by sports photographers to get photos of football players as if they were standing right beside them.Digital camerasIn digital cameras, the light falls not on film but onto a sensor (传感器)called a CCD (Charge Coupled Device). This digitallyconverts(转变) light and colour into a digital information or pixels (象素). The CCD is the heart of any digital camera and usually the most expensive part ---- depending on how good it is.67．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Both digital and film cameras focus light onto the film.B．All cameras have a sensor.C．Digital cameras and film cameras have something in common. .D．Small cameras usually have longer focal lengths.68．In the “Film cameras” part, you fail t o take the picture of the dog because _____.A．light goes into the camera lens and hits the shutterB．you haven’t aimed the camera at the dogC．the image of the dog is not createdD．the sensor fails to convert light and colour into a digital info rmation69．The main reason that sports photographers can get clear and big photos of players is that _ ___.A．they use digital cameras B．the lens of their cameras is excellentC．their focus lenses are short D．their focus lenses are long70．Generally speaking, a digital camera’s price is ____.A．closely related to the quality of the CCDB．irrelevant to the quality of the CCDC．closely related to the lensD．irrelevant to the lens第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共2014分）阅读下列短文，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。

北京市石景山区2014高考英语 阅读理解暑假训练(9)
石景山区2014高考英语阅读理解暑假训练〔9〕与答案People tend to become more personal and hide less of themselves when using email．Researchers from Open University in Britain have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this．The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem．They had to discuss this question: If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster, who should they be? The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers．Dr．Johnson said, “They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face．When the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation．〞Generally the information was not extremely personal．It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live．But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences．Dr．Johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves．And when they do this, they become more open , especially if there are no cameras．“If you cannot see the other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself．This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you．So emailing has become the modern way of talking．〞 said Dr．Johnson．However, this style of talking is not entirely new．“In the 19th century people started to use the ‘telegraph’ to communicate．Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely．〞Dr．Johnson thinks that e-mailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially when they start work in a company．“If you don’t know about it, you coul d find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to ．〞17．The subject discussed in this passage is ．A．how people open up when emailingB．how people do research studiesC．how to communicate at workD．how to discuss and solve a problem18．The reason that some couples talked freely about themselves is that ．A．they didn’t talk about very personal thingsB．they couldn’t see each otherC．the cameras on the computers were turned onD．they had to discuss a question19．What do the underlined words 〔in para．4〕 refer to?A．The telegraph．B．The computer．C．Emailing．D．Face-to-face talk．20．In the writer’s opinion, one should ．A．focus on oneself when emailingB．talk more freely in email than usualC．discuss any subject that one wants toD．consider how one uses email at workE) ABCD***********************************************************完毕“The pen is more powerful than the sword〔刀〕.〞 There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.She was born in the U.S.A. in 1811.One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freeing the enslaved race. The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861,in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.This book that shook the world was called Uncle Tom's Cabin. There was time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it is still very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse (唤起) people's sympathies. The author herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the book, which they said did not at all represent true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired by it that they were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.13. According to the passage______.A. every English-speaking person has read Uncle Tom's CabinB. Uncle Tom's Cabin was not very interestingC. those who don't speak English cannot have read Uncle Tom's CabinD. the book Uncle Tom's Cabin did a great deal in the American Civil War14. What do you learn about Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe from the passage?A. She had been living in the north of America before the American Civil War brokeout.B. She herself encouraged the Northern Americans to go to war to set the slavesfree.C. She was better as writing as swinging (挥舞) a sword.D. She had once been a slave.15. Why could Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's book cause a civil war in America?A. She wrote so well that Americans loved her very much.B.She disclosed the terrible wrongs that had been done to the slaves in the SouthernStates.C. The Southern Americans hated the book while the Northern Americans like it.D. The book had been read by many Americans.16. What can we learn from the passage?A. We needn't use weapons (武器) to fight things that are wrong.B. A writer is more helpful in a war than a soldier.C. We must understand the importance of literature and art.D. No war can be won without such a book as Uncle Tom's Cabin.13—16、DABC*****************************************************完毕Gossip(流言蜚语) is more powerful than truth, a study has shown, suggesting that people believe what they hear in an informal way even if they have evidence to the contrary. Researchers, testing students using a computer game, also found gossip played an important role in decision making, said Ralf Sommerfeld, an evolutionary biologist who led the study." We show that gossip has a strong influence ... even when participants have access to the correct information, "the researchers wrote. "It is evident that gossip has strong manipulative (控制的) potential." In the study, the researchers gave the students money and allowed them to give it to others in a series of rounds. The students also wrote notes that anyone could view about how others played the game. Students tended to give less money to people described as "scrooges" and more to those described as "generous players" or "social players", Sommerfeld said. "People only took the gossip into account, not the past decisions they themselves had witnessed," he said in a telephone interview. The researchers then took the game a step further and showed the students the actual decisions people had made, while supplying gossip that contradicted(同……相矛盾) that evidence. In these cases, the students still based their decisions on the gossip, rather than the evidence, Sommerfeld said. "Rationally (理性地), if you know what someone did, that’s all you should care about, but they still listened to what others said," he said. Researchers have long used similar games to study how people cooperate and the influence of gossip on groups. Scientists define gossip as social information spread about a person who is not present, Sommerfeld said.45. Which of the following are people more likely to believe, according to thestudy?A. Something said informally about someone.B. Information about someone supported by evidence.C. Words said about a person in his or her presence.D. Correct information.46. Who does the underlined word "scrooges" in Paragraph 4 probably refer to?A. People who are unkind.B. People who are ugly.C. People who have little money but say they have a lot.D. People who love having money but hate spending it.47. What should people value when they make decisions about others, inSommerfeld’s opinion?A. Their actions.B. Their words.C. Their social positions and past decisions.D. The origin of information about them.48. What is the passage mainly about?A. The importance of gossip.B. How gossip is produced.C. How gossip is more powerful than truth.D. The difference between truth and gossip.***********************************************完毕AOnce there was an 11-year-old boy who went fishing with his father in the middle of a New Hampshire lake. On the day before bass (巴斯鱼) season opened, they were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then the boy tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm – two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,〞 he said.“Dad!〞 cried the boy, “There will be other fish,〞 said his father. “Not as big as this one,〞 cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water. The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish … again and again … every time he has an ethical (伦理的，道德的) decision to make.
