必修三Module 5“阅读＋七选五＋完形”组合练——练题型(限时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2016·兰州高三诊断)Three-dimensional printers are fast becoming everyday devices in the United States. Three-D printers are used to make everything from automobile parts to bone replacements for human patients. American research scientists are now working on creating replacements for living tissue.Researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina have been working on creating and manufacturing living tissue since 2003. This process is called biofabrication (生物制造). It requires special printing equipment and a special kind of ink.Traditional printers require ink to produce an image or design on a piece of paper. For their three-D printer, the South Carolina researchers prepare complex nutritious solutions they call bio-inks. Bio-inks are made of proteins and glucose (葡萄糖), which normally provides energy for most cells of the body. The researchers also add living cells taken from the animal that will receive the new, printed tissue. The bio-inks are then added to a device that researchers call the Palmetto bio-printer.Sarah Grace Dennis is one of the researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina. She says new technology, like the Palmetto bio-printer, is a great help to the biofabrication process.The bio-inks are placed in three dispensers (分配器), containers, inside the printer. Lasers control both the position of the printing surface and the places where the bio-ink is released.Michael Yost is a leader of the research team. He says the printing process is fully automated — machine-operated. He says that the Palmetto bio-printer makes it possible to create complex tissue types.The researchers say bio-printing is still experimental. But they hope in a few years they may be able to print tissue to replace damaged human organs.But there are still some problems which need to be solved. Some scientists worry about how to get blood to the replacement tissue. The flow of blood is important to keep the printed tissue alive.Michael Yost hopes that more people will believe in the benefits of biofabrication.“Tissue biofabrication is a reality, and it is a reality now, and if you come here and you get to see it. You will get to see it. You can't touch it, but you will see it and think this is real. And this is really human.”语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。

阅读理解限时训练与解析A（5minutes）I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed（解散）. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized（强调）the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating （欺骗）themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously（认真地）about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I trie d to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued（继续）to believe that I had cheated on the test.1.

They think it is part of becoming an adult. They also think drinking is not that bad because so many people do it. They feel it is not as bad as taking drugs (毒品). It is easy for kids to get liquor （酒精饮料）by using fake identification (伪造证件).Parents may start to notice a change in their child’s behavior if the child starts drinking. Kids who drink sometimes stop doing things they normally liked to do. They may keep telephone calls and meetings a secret and not want anybody to touch their things. They act moody (喜怒无常) and do not have the same eating and sleeping habits.Parents need to stay involved (牵涉) in their kids’ lives. They should talk to their children about their problems to be aware of any changes.Parents can be the best protection. Children who get a lot of love can feel good about themselves. It helps them resist（抵抗）doing bad things even when other kids are doing them. Parents can also help set a good example by not drinking and driving. They can have firm rules in the home that everyone follows.Give the children good ideas on how to say “no” to drinking, even when they are at a party.

When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat（闲谈）with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout of appearing to force yourself. Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you.

Instead, we will buy and read books using computers, which will keep many different books in them at the same time．We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved．Computerized (计算机化的) books will be used more and more．While many people say it is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy．It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers.

Then she ran along the edge of cliff( 悬崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea.Her owner Mike Holden panicked and celled the coastguard of Cornwall, who turned up in seconds . Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken . Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holder if he would likehis dog bark.A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的)but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry,〞Steve Tregear said , “It was a very dog.

This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.〞 I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical〔一样的〕 to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, untilmy own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous〞 (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.1. The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to_____.A. encourage him to do more walkingB. let him spend a meaningful summerC. help cure him of his reading problemD. make him learn more about weapons2. The book caught the autho r’s eye because_____.A. it contained pretty pictures of animalsB. it reminded him of his own dogC. he found its title easy to understandD. he liked children’s stories very much3. Why could the author manage to read the book through?A. He was forced by his mother to read it.B. He identified with the story in the book.C. The book told the story of his pet dog.D. The happy ending of the story attracted him.4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The author has become a successful writer.B. The author’s mother read the same book.C. The author’s mother rewarded him with books.D. The author has had happy summers ever since.5. Which one could be the best title of the passage?A. The Charm of a BookB. Mum’s Strict OrderC. Reunion with My BeagleD. My Passion for Reading4. 【·】At thirteen, I was diagnosed〔诊所〕 with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said,“Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.〞She glanced down at me through her gl asses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.〞I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading systemof raised dots〔点〕, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind. Wasn’t I the “blind〞 in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted〞students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; Ijust needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quitea surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an“A〞 on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?〞1. The author didn’t finish the reading in class because.A. He was new to the classB. He was tried of literatureC. He had an attention disorderD. He wanted to take the task home2. What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?A. He had good sightB. He made a great invention.C. He gave up readingD. He learned a lot from school3. What was Mrs.Smith ‘s attitude to the author at the end of the story?A. AngryB. ImpatientC. SympatheticD. Encouraging4. What is the main idea of the passage?A.The disabled should be treated with respect.B.A teacher can open up a new world to students.C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.励志赠言经典语录精选句；挥动**，放飞梦想。

主题训练(二十四) 自然灾害与防范，安全常识与自我保护大阅读——提升阅读速度·内化读文规律(满分70分，限时55分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AClimate change leads to a threat to the world's sandy beaches, and as many as half of them could disappear by 2100, a new study has found.Even by 2050 some coastlines could be unrecognizable from what we see today, with 14% to 15% facing severe erosion (侵蚀)．Using updated sea level rise predictions, the researchers analyzed how beaches around the world would be in a future with higher seas and more damaging storms.They also considered natural processes like wave erosion, as well as human factors like coastal building developments, which can affect a beach's health.The study found that sea level rise is expected to outweigh these other factors, and that the mo re heattrapping gases humans put into the atmosphere, the worse the influences on the world's beaches are likely to be.It's hard to overstate just how important the world's beaches are.They cover more than one third of the world's coastlines, and protect coastal areas from storms.Beaches are also important economic engines, supporting relaxation, tourism and other activities.And in some areas, the beach is more than a vacation destination.In places like Australia, life near the coast revolves around the beach for much of the year.Some of the world's most popular beaches are already taking action.Places like Miami Beach are trucking in thousands of tons of sand to patch up (修补) badly eroded shorelines, while others have built sea walls and breakwaters in an attempt to hold precious sand in place.But the financial and environmental costs of these projects are huge, and scientists say rough seas and more powerful storms, supercharged by a warmer climate, will make this a losing battle.However, the researchers did find that humans have some control over what happens to the world's beaches.If the world's governments are able to stick to modest cuts in heattrapping gas pollution, the researchers found that 17% of projected beach losses by 2050 could be prevented, and that number will grow to 40% by 2100 if greenhouse gases are limited.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校高考英语一轮复习限时阅读训练55Hans was an honest fellow with a funny round good-humored face. Living alone, every day he worked in his garden. In all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as his. All sorts of flowers grew there, blooming in their proper order as the months went by, one flower taking another flower’s place, so that there were always beautiful things to see, and pleasant odors to smell.Hans had many friends, the most devoted being the Miller. So devoted was the rich Miller to Hans t hat he’d never go by his garden without plucking a large bunch of flowers or a handful of sweet herbs, or filling his pockets with fruits. The Miller used to talk about noble ideas, and Hans nodded and smiled, feeling proud of having such a friend.The neighbors thought it strange that the rich Miller never gave Hans anything in return, though he had hundreds of sacks of flour, many cows and sheep, but Hans never troubled his head about these, and nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things about the unselfishness of true friendship.In spring, summer, and autumn Hans was very happy, but when winter came, and he had no fruit or flowers to sell, he suffered from cold and hunger. Though extremely lonely, the Miller never came to see him then.“There’s no good in going to see Hans while the snow lasts.” The Miller said to his wife, “When people are in trouble they shouldn’t be bothered. So I’ll wait till the spring comes when he’s happy to give me flowers.”“You’re certainly very thoughtful,” answered his wife, “It’s quite a treat to hear you talk about friendship.”“Couldn’t we ask Hans up here?” said their son. “I’ll give him half my meal, and show him my white rabbits.”“How silly you are!” cried the Miller. “I really don’t know what’s the use of sending you to school. If Hans came up here, and saw our warm fire, our good supper, and our red wine, he might get envious, and envy is a most terrible thing, and would spoil anybody’s nature.I am his best frien d, and I’ll always watch over him, and see that he’s not led into any temptation. Besides, if Hans came here, he might ask me for some flour. Flour is one thing, and friendship is another, and they shouldn’t be confused. The words are spelt differently, an d mean quite different things. Everybody can see that.” He looked seriously at his son, who felt so ashamed that he hung his head down, and grew quite scared, and began to cry into his tea.Spring coming, the Miller went down to see Hans. Again he talked about friendship. “Hans, friendship never forgets. I’m afraid you don’t understand the poetry of life. See, how lovely your roses are!”Hans said he wanted to sell them in the market to buy back his thingswhich were sold during the hard time of the winter.“I’ll give you many good things. I think being generous is the base of friendship.” said the Miller. “And now, as I’ll give you many good things, I’m sure you’d like to give me some flowers in return. Here’s the basket, and fill it quite ful l.”Poor Hans was afraid to say anything. He ran and plucked all his pretty roses, and filled the Miller’s basket, imagining the many good things promised by the Miller.The next day he heard the Miller calling: “Hans, would you mind carrying this sack of flour for me to market?”“I’m sorry, but I am really very busy today.”“Well,” said the Miller, “considering that I’m going to give you my things, it’s rather unfriendly of you to refuse. Upon my word, you mustn’t mind my speaking quite plainly to you.”Poor Hans was driven by his friendship theory to work hard for his best friend, leaving his garden dry and wasted.One evening Hans was sitting by fire when the Miller came.“Hans,” cried the Miller, “My little boy has fallen off a ladder and hurt himself, and I’m going for the Doctor. But he lives so far away, and it’s such a bad windy night. It has just occurred to me that you can go instead of me. You know I’m going to give you my good things, so you should do something for me in return.”“Certainly,” cried Hans. He struggled into the stormy night, and got the doctor to ride a horse to the Miller’s house in time to save the boy. However, Hans got lost in the darkness, and wandered off into a deep pool, drowned.At Hans’ funeral, the Miller said, “I was his best friend. I should walk at the head of the procession.” Every now and then he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.16. “Flour is one thing, and friendship is another” can be understood as ___________.A. “Different words may mean quite different things.”B. “Interest is permanent while friendship is flexible.”C. “I’m afraid you don’t understand the poetry of life.”D. “I think being generous is the base of friendship.”17.

From the Miller’s talk at home, we can see he was ___________.A. serious but kindB. selfish and cold-heartedC. caring but strictD. helpful and generous参考答案 16-20:BCADB***********************************************结束AWe live in an age of unprecedented(空前的) opportunity: If you’ve got ambition, drive, and smarts, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession—regardless of where you started out from. But nowadays companies aren’t managing their knowledge workers’ careers. Rather, we must each be our own chief executive officer. Only when you operate from a combination of your strengths and self-knowledge can you achieve true and lasting excellence.To build a life of excellence, begin by asking yourself these questions:“What Are My Strengths?”To accurately identify your strengths, use feedback analysis. Every time you make a key decision, write down the outcome you expect. Several months later, compare the actual results with your expected results. Look for patterns in what you are seeing: What results are you skilled at generating? What unproductive habits are preventing you from creating the outcomes you desire? In identifying opportunities for improvement, don’t waste time developing skill areas wher e you have little competence. Instead, concentrate on and build on your strengths.“What Are My Values?”What are your ethics(道德)? What do you see as your most important responsibilities for living a worthy, ethical life? Do your organization’s ethics reso nate(共鸣) with your own values? If not, your career will be likely to be marked by frustration and poor performance.“Where Do I Belong?”Consider your strengths, preferred work style, and values. Based on these qualities, what kind of work environment would you fit it best? Find the perfect fit, and you’ll transform yourself from a merely acceptable employee into a star performer.“What Can I Contribute?”In earlier eras, companies told businesspeople what their contribution should be. Today, you have choices. To decide how you can best improve your organization’s performance, first ask what the situation requires. Based on your strengths, work style, and values, how might you make the greatest contribution to your organization’s efforts?1. The following steps are all the ways to find and improve your strengths EXCEPT_________.A. writing down your expectationsB. comparing the actual resultsC. finding out your advantagesD. developing your disadvantagesm2. Which of the following comments is NOT true?A. People should find results they are skilled at generating.B. Processing information by hearing others discuss is the most effective way of working.C. People who work in one team should have similar ethics.D. The fit working environment can help the workers work more efficiently.3. What can lead to a life of excellence?A. Self-pity and powers.B. Ambition and smarts.C. Self-awareness and strengths.D. Motives and self-knowledge.4. How might you make the greatest contribution to your organization’s efforts?A. Do what is needed.B. Identify your own strengths.C. Work in your own way.D. Obey the companies’ rules.参考答案 DBCA*******************************************************结束BVincent Van Gogh was not always an artist. In fact, he wanted to be a church minister but was sent to the Belgian mining community of Borinage in 1879. He discovered that the miners there lived with terrible working conditions and received poverty-level wages. Their families were not well fed and struggled simply to survive. He felt concerned that the small salary he received from the church allowed him to live a normal life, which, in contrast to the poor, seemed unfair.A rich family in the community offered him free room and board. But Van Gogh turned down the offer, stating that it was the final temptation he must reject if he was to faithfully serve his community of poor miners. He believed that if he wanted them to trust him, he must become one of them. And if they were to learn of the love of God through him, he must love them enough to share with them.He was fully aware of a wide chasm which can separate words and actions. He knew that people’s lives often speak louder and clearer than their words. Maybe it was that same knowledge that led Francis of Assisi to frequently remind his monks（修士，僧侣）, “Wherever you go, preach.Use words if necessary.”There are a million ways to say, “I love you,” without even sayinga word!5. Among the following statements of Vincent Van Gogh, which is Not true?A. He was an artist.B. He wasn’t satisfied with his salaryC. He thought the wages of the minors too low.D. He once worked as a minister.6. From the second paragraph, we know _____________.A. Van Gogh was crazyB. Van Gogh especially loved to teach children artsC. Van Gogh was richD. Van Gogh deeply sympathized with the lower-class7. Vincent Van Gogh rejected the offer because _____.A. it was illegal for a ministerB. he wanted to be a minorC. he was devoted to his jobD. he was dishonest8. The sentence “There are a million ways to say, ‘I love you, withouteven saying a word.” (the last paragraph) implies that ______.A. actions speak louder than wordsB. silence can also show loveC. there are numerous ways to express l oveD. saying “I love you” is useless9. We can infer from the passage ____________.A. our lives always speak louder and clearer than our words[K]B. the miners there worked under excellent working conditionsC. the ministers lived a much better and easier life than the miners at the timeD. Van Gogh himself offered to work in the Belgian mining community of Borinage in 1879.参考答案 BDCAC****************************************************结束。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校高考英语一轮复习限时阅读训练1AOur listener question this week comes from Vietnam. Quang Khoi asks about Murphy’s Law. Murphy’s Law says: “Everything that can possibly go wrong will go wrong.” Like many other popular sayings, it is difficult to find one explanation for it.Those trying to explain Murphy’s Law agree that it began in the United States Air Force, which says the expression was named after officer Edward Murphy. He was an engineer working on a project in space flight research in 1949. One story says Captain Murphy was commenting about the failure of some equipment he was using in an experiment. He reportedly mentioned the worker responsible by saying: “If there is a way to do it wrong, he will find it.” Another official heard this and called it Murphy’s Law.Another story is found in a book called A History of Murphy’s Law by Nick Spark. It says members of the research team working with Captain Murphy created a similar phrase: “If it can happen, it will happen.” They called this Murphy’s L aw. But Spark later said there are in fact many different explanations about who invented the expression.Still, many stories say the first use of the term Murphy’s Law was at a press conference several weeks later. John Stapp was an Air Force captain at the time. He spoke to reporters about the tests completed by Captain Murphy and his team. Stapp said no one was injured during the tests because the Air Force considered “Murphy’s Law” before carrying out their experiments. He said this meant that they considered everything that could go wrong before a test and planned how to prevent those mistakes from happening.Today, you can find examples of Murphy’s Law in everyday life. For example, you might say that if you drop a slice of buttered bread on the floor, it will always land with the buttered side down.41. The passage is probably taken from______A. a newspaperB. a history textbookC. a radio programmeD.a cultural magazine42. According to the first explanation, we can learn that Murphy was ____the worker responsible.A. pleased withB. dissatisfied withC. familiar withD. concerned about43. According to Nick Spark, we can know that______.A. nobody knows who really invented the expressionB. it was Captain Murphy who invented this expressionC. Murphy’s teammates created this popular expressionD. it is a waste of time to discuss who invented the expression. BIn November of 2007, NBC Universal launched（发起） its first official Green Week.

Mr. Thibault has a number of tips to help travelers manage in a destination when they don't speak the native tongue, based on his own experience. Here are a few of them.●Download a Language Translation AppMr. Thibault tends to rely on Google Translate and suggests that travelers find an app that works for them. Ideally, find one that specializes in the language you need to translate especially if the language uses a character set you're not familiar with, or have difficulty pronouncing.●Speak with Your Hands and HeadPointing with your hands and nodding or shaking your head, Mr. Thibault said, are easy ways to municate with locals in the country you're in. “Gestures are all universally understood，” he said.●Learn a Few Key WordsKnowing basic words and phrases like “hello”，“thank you” and “I'm sorry, I don't speak your language. Do you speak English？” is a must, Mr. Thibault said. Showing that you care enough to learn some of the language before you go, and at least enough to acknowledge that you don't know more, is a form of respect and will go a long way to be liked by locals.●Work with a Local Travel AgentIf you feel particularly unfortable in the country you're headed to, and you have to go anyway, relying on a local travel agent who knows both your and your destination's languages can be incredibly useful.●Hire a Local Tour GuideA tour guide can help you get a better grasp of the local language and is a good person to practice words and phrases with. Whenever Mr. Thibault visits a new country, he books a sightseeing tour with a guide on the first day of his trip. “I use this day to learn about my destination and get familiar with the language，” he said.语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文，针对不会说外语的旅行者到国外旅游提出了几条建议，包括翻译软件、使用肢体语言、出发前学习关键词、利用当地旅行社的帮助以及雇用当地导游。

Without taking time to reflect, I answered, "Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone's life." Even though I was sincere, that wasn't a very good answer and my student didn't let it slide."Let me get this straight," he said, "You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?" He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I'm one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty,or swift.Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:It's in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You can't have ripples without a "stone." Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that's what I strive to do.I genuinely love teenagers.I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If they'll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too.Teaching isn't for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.41. Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher?A. Because he thought her answer was unbelievable.B. Because the writer was insincere.C. Because the student was naughty.D. Because the answer was difficult to understand.42. What do you think of the writer?A. Stupid.B. Honest.C. Conservative.D. Polite.43. According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?A. The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her.B. The writer’s answer made the student confused.C. In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach.D. The writer annoyed the student who asked the question.44. We can infer from the text that _________.A. the writer was also a good teacher in schoolB. the writer often plays with her students beside a pondC. the writer devotes herself to teaching and her studentsD. the writer often accompanies the students on their way home45. What’s the main idea of the text?A. A student’s silly question.B. A good teacher who likes students.C. A confused student.D. The reason why I teach.BAmong various programs, TV talk shows have covered every inch of spaceon daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and Oprah Winfrey shows.Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "rubbish talk". The topics on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people's lives.Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes the TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a "final word". He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable. Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main audience are middle-class Americans. Most of the people have the time, money and ability to deal with life's tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to 21year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show's exploitation.46. Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are ______.A. more interestingB. unusually poplarC. more detailedD. more formal47. Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows ______.A. show disbelief in themB. are ready to face up to themC. remain cold to themD. are willing to get away from them48. Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A. A new type of robot.B. National hatred.C. Family income planning.D. Street accident.49. We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows ____.A. have become the only ones of its kindB. exploit the weaknesses in human natureC. appear at different times of the dayD. attract differentpeople50. What is the advantage of the Jerry Springer show?A. The show exposes the dark sides of society.B. The show pours poisonous waste into society.C. Jerry sums up the whole idea of the show.D. Jerry talks abou the improvement of society.CCan people change their skin colour without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin colour.The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100 per cent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.Scientists have changed the colour of a dark-striped zebrafish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment(色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebrafish skin colour is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes(黑色素). The number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin colour.It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation(变异) in the gene for melanosome production. This results in less pigmented skin.However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes.Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun(太阳光紫外线), which can cause skin cancer.But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng.Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin colour, said Cheng.The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin colour without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.51. The passage mainly tells us that ________.A. people can not change their skin colour without any painB. the new discovery could lead to search into ways to change skin colour safelyC. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin colour as he likedD. scientists have found out that people’s skin colour is determined by the gene52. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. nowadays people who want to change their skin colour have to suffer a lot from the damage caused by the chemical treatmentB. Europeans and Africans have the same geneC. the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancerD. there are two kinds of genes53. Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebra fish in order to ________.A. find the different genes of humans’B. prove the human s’ skin colour is determined by the pigment geneC. find out the reason why the African s’ skin colour is darkD. find out the ways of changing peopl’s skin colour54. The reason why Europeans are light-skinned is probably that ________.A. they are born light-skinned peopleB. light-skinned Europeans have mutation in the gen for melanosome productionC. they have fewer activities outsideD. they pay much attention to protecting their skin55. The writer’s attitude towards the discovery is ________.A. neutralB. negativeC. positiveD. indifferent参考答案完形填空21－30 DDBBC AACBD语法填空31. on 32. his 33. worried 34. whose 35.

In the middle or at the end of every term, we students have to “face the music”. The result of the exam will decide whether we will face the music or not. If...that means parents faces and contempt(轻视) of the teachers and classmates. “To face the music” is well known to every American, young or old. It is at least 100 years old. It really means that you have to do something, no matter(无论) how terrible the whole thing might be, because you know you have no choice. 1. “To face the music” means “to____ ”.

You are welcome to leave a pound or two if you wish. In restaurants where you place your order with a waiter or a waitress and receive your food and bill at your table, it’s customary to tip around 10 percent. In some restaurants, a service charge may be added 1o the bill automatically, typically 10 or 12.5 percent. In this case, you don’t need to add a further tip. When you pay by credit card, the machine may ask if you want to add a tip. Check your bill to see if a service charge has already been added before paying—if so you don’t need to add a tip on the machine. You can request the service charge be removed from your bill if you are unhappy with the service. In some cases a restaurant may print “service not included” on the bill or menu. This is a request for a tip. You’re not forced to offer anything, but 10 percent would be normal in this situation. Tipping in cafes and fast food restaurant is not expected.If you use a taxi, round the fare up to the nearest pound shown on the meter. On a journey from or to the airport in a booked minicab you might wish to tip 2 or 3 pounds if the driver helps with your bags.Be sure to check a country’s tipping culture before you start your trip. For more information, visit TripAdvisor com.4. According to the text, in British culture.A. it is necessary to tip if you are served in cafesB. it is confusing to tip if you receive your bill at your tableC. it is customary to tip if “service not included” is printed on the billD. it is compulsory to tip even if the service is unsatisfying in some restaurants5.

Occasions for TippingC. Advice on Tipping in RestaurantsD. British Ways to TippingCOur perception of how food tastes is influenced by cultery like knives, forks, and spoons, research suggests.“Size, weight, shape and color all have an effect on flavor,” says a University of Oxford team. Cheese tastes saltier when eaten from a knife rather than a fork; while white spoons make yoghurt2taste better, experiments show.The study in the journal Flavour suggests the brain makes judgments on food even before it goes in the mouth.More than 100 students took part in three experiments looking at the influence of weight, color and shape of cutlery on taste. The researchers found that when the weight of the cutlery is consistent with expectations, this had an influence on how the food tastes. For example, food tasted sweeter on the small spoons than are traditionally used to serve desserts.Color contrast was also an important factor—white yoghurt eaten from a white spoon was rated sweeter that white yoghurt tasted on a black spoon. Similarly, when testers were offered cheese on a knife, spoon, fork or toothpick, they found that the cheese on a knife tasted saltiest.“How we experience food is a multisensory experience involving taste, feel of the food in our mouths, pleasant smells, and he feasting of our eyes,” said Pro. Charles Spence and Dr. Vanessa Harrar. “Even before we put food into our mouths, our brains have made a judgment about it, which affects our overall experience.”Past research has shown that china can change our perception of food and drink. For example, people generally eat less when food is served on smaller plates. “The new research into how the brain influences food perception could help dieters or improve gastronomic(美食的)experiences at restaurants,” said Pro. Spence. He told BBC News: “There’s a lot more to food than what’s on the plate. Many things we thought didn’t matter do. We’re going to see a lot more of neuroscience(神经科学)design around mealtimes.”8. According to the text, we know that the cheese used in the experiment is .A. SaltyB. sourC. sweetD. bitter9. What do we know about the weight of the cutlery in paragraph 3?A. It is important for people.B. People usually don’t care about it.C. It affects how the food tastes.D. It is always different from people’s expectation.10. What does the underlined word “multisensory” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Coming from the senses.B. Involving many different senses.C. Able to feel or perceive.D. Easily affected by other feelings.11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Research on cutlery is of great importance.B. Research into food will be continued in the future.C. Research on the effect of nerves and taste of food will be done.D. Research into plates and food will be carried out in the near future.DA “memory pill” that could aid exam revision and help to prevent people forgetting important3anniversaries may soon be available over the counter.The medicine has been designed originally to help treat Alzheimer’s disease, a disease marked by progressive loss of mental capacity resulting from weakening of the brain cells, but could be adapted and licensed for sale in a weaker form within the next few years.One brand of memory-enhancing (增强记忆的) pill is being developed by the multinational company AstraZeneca together with Targacept, an American company, while Epix Pharmaceuticals, also from the US, is developing another.Both have “Cognitive-enhancing (提高认知的) effects which are aimed at treating patients with age-related memory loss.Steven Ferris, a neurologist and former committee member of the Food and Drug Administration in the US, has predicted that a milder version will be available for healthy consumers as a lifestyle pill available over the counter.Dr. Ferris said: “My view is that one could gain approval, provided you showed the drugs to be effective and safe. It could be a huge market.”There is evidence that mind-improving drugs are already being taken in Britain by healthy users.Provigil, which was used to treat narcolepsy, is being taken by some students to help them stay awake. while Adderall XR and Ritalin, treatments for attention deficit disorder(注意力缺乏症), are being used to help promote concentration.A spokesman of Adderall XR said: “We get a lot of calls from college campuses asking about it. “There are risks though. It can raise blood pressure, people shouldn’t do it.”The Department of Health said it was not illegal to buy the medicines over the Internet, but it was not recommended.Barbara Sahakian, professor of clinical neuropsychology at Cambridge, said: “It’s hard to quantify the scale of the phenomenon but it’s definitely catching on. ’“The reality is that we are not always at our best. After being up at night looking after the kids or travelling. Many people would love to have something to refresh them. It’s not prohibited to drink Red Bull. The principle with cognition enhancers is not so different. ”12. The “memory pill”, as is mentioned in the first paragraph, is not sold over the counter now mainly because .A. it is not safe enoughB. it is not efficient enoughC. it has not yet been mass-producedD. it has not yet been tested on humans13. Epix Phamaceuticals is developing a memory-enhancing pill for .A. adolescentsB. middle-aged people4C. senior citizensD. pupils and students14. What do we learn about the manufactures of Adderall XR?A. They were proud that their drug was popular with college students.B. They developed a milder version of the drug for healthy people.C. They suggested that college students should not use the drug.D. They produced the drug for helping promote concentration.15. According to Barbara Sahakian, Red BullA. is not as effective as it is in reality.B. is able to restore people’s energy.C. involves as much risk as cognition enhancers.D. has the same effect as cognition enhancers.第二节根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。
