2020年河北衡水中学高三英语三模试卷及答案
2020年河北衡水中学高三英语三模试卷及答案第一部分阅读（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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AA brother and a sister have been reunited (重逢) after more than 60 years, thanks to a letter in the Welwynand Hatfield Times. For years John Hannant kept a photo of his long-lost sister, hoping they would meet again.Margery, the eldest of three children, had signed up with the Royal Air Force as part of the war effort, when John was still a baby.The family lost touch and as many years passed only a single letter gave a clue to her whereabouts (下落). The clue was enough for a WHT reader to recognize Margery and put the family back in touch.John, 67, said he had been searching for a long time and a friend suggested writing to the paper.“That’s the one that made it, the letter to the paper,” he said. “It’s like a dream that comes true. The last time we ever heard from Margery was in 1953 after the terrible floods. She wrote home to know if we were all right.My sister Dorothy wrote back, but Margery had moved again and never got the letter.”Having retired from his job as a gardener at Park House, Mr Hannant decided to take action.He and his wife Doreen traveled to Margery’s home in Chelwood Avenue, Hatfield, which she shares with her husband Jack Cooke.Now 88, Margery was recovering from her heart operation, but immediately recognized her brother. John said, “It’s something I never thought that was going to happen but I always hoped it would.” AS well as finding his sister, John has also discovered he now has a nephew, a niece and six grandnieces and grandnephews.1.The headline of the news would be “________”.A.An unforgettable and moving experienceB.The Hannant family lost touch because of warC.A brother and a sister reunited after 60 yearsD.The importance of a letter to WHT2.Margery left her family because ________.A.she attended the air schoolB.she joined the Royal Air ForceC.she had to feed her familyD.a big flood hit her hometown3.Who helped the family reunite after many years?A.Margery’s husband Jack CookeB.The photographer of the photo of Margery.C.A neighbour of Mr Hannant.D.A reader of WHT.BPeggy Whitson's job demands a daily twohour workout in a gym where weight has no meaning and the view changes at 17,000 miles an hour.Whitson makes it look easy. At 57, she is the oldest woman to fly in space, breaking the record last November, 2016, when she began her third longterm stay at the International Space Station. After returning home in September, 2017, the NASA astronaut feltmatter-of-factabout the age milestone.“It wasn't a record I was seeking for,” Whitson said. “I was 42 and 48 for my first two space flights. I feel lucky that I was able to get to do another one in my 50s. I don't think people should let age discourage them, even on those jobs that require some amount of physical fitness. The oldest man is John Glenn (at 77), and we've had male astronauts in their 60s before, so it's just a matter of time before women start flying in space at this age”.On the earth, she stays fit by weightlifting, biking, playing basketball and water skiing. She shared what it's like to live in microgravity: “It's like you're in a swimming pool, but you don't have to worry about breathing. If I push off from one side, I'm going to float to the other side. Every direction feels exactly the same, which is really hard for your brain to grasp, but it's amazing how fast you adapt.It's a big shock for the body to come back to Earth—everything is so heavy. We spend a lot of time getting used to being back in gravity again. Back pain was really the most dramatic for me this time. For me, coming home is harder than going up into space.”4. How long did Peggy Whitson spend for her third stay in the International Space Station?A. About 300 days.B. About 708 days.C. About 107 days.D. About57 days.5. What does the underlined word probably mean in the passage?A. Amazing.B. Not surprising.C. Enthusiastic.D. Unbelievable.6. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Peggy Whitson likes swimming most.B. Peggy Whitson is the oldest person to fly in space.C. Peggy Whitson had been in space in 2002 and 2008.D. There had been female astronauts over 60s flying in space before.7. Which of the following will Peggy Whitson probably say?A. You can still be successful and do physical things when old.B. I spent quite a lot of time getting used to the life in space.C. The moment we reached the earth, we felt so relaxed.D. I feel lucky that I am physically well after the whole journey.CI had very good parents. My mother came toAmericafromScotlandby herself when she was 11, and she didn’t have much education. My dad was kind of a street kid, and he eventually went into the insurance business, selling nickel policies door to door.One day, my dad asked his boss, “What's the toughest market to sell?” and the insurance guy replied “Well, black people. They don’t buy insurance.” My dad thought, but they have kids; they have families. Why wouldn’t they buy insurance? So he said, “Give meHarlem.”When my dad died in 1994, I talked about him onThe Tonight Show. I told the story of how he worked in Harlem and how he always taught us to be open-minded and not to say or think things of racism (种族主义). Then one day, I got a letter from a woman who was about 75 years old.She wrote that when she was a little girl, a man used to come to her house to collect policies. She said this man was the only white person who had ever come to dinner at their house. The man was very kind to her, she said, and his name was Angelo—was this my father?The letter made me cry. I called her up and said yes, that was in fact my dad, and she told me how kind he had been to her family. Her whole attitude toward white people was based on that one nice man she met in her childhood, who always treated her with kindness and respect and always gave her a piece of candy. From this experience, I learned a valuable life lesson: never judge people and be open-minded and kind to others.8. What did my father do after knowing what was the toughest market to sell?A. He asked his boss to give him some insurance.B. He went toScotlandto improve his education.C. He specially went to white families with kids.D. He choseHarlemto face the toughest challenge.9. What can we learn from the third paragraph?A. It was rare that a businessman had dinner in his customer's house.B. Angelo was the only white person to sell insurance inHarlem.C. The little girl admired Angelo very much.D. Racism was a serious problem inAmericaat that time.10. Which of the following can best describe the author’s father?A. Stubborn and generous.B. Patient and intelligent.C. Determined and open-minded.D. Confident and romantic.11. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Memories from a TV Show.B. A Letter from an Old Lady.C. Life Lessons from My Father.D. My Father's Experience inHarlem.DWhen I was young, my mother didn't have the money to send me to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself.But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4：30 inthe morning.We needevery one of you to develop your talents and your skills so that you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you quit on school—you're not just quitting on yourself, but you're quitting on your country. No one's written your destiny(命运)for you, because you write your own destiny. You make your own future.That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education and do everything you can to meet them.Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time reading a book.But whatever you decide to do, I want you to commit to it.I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star.No one's born being good at all things. You become good at things through hard work.You're not a good athlete the first time you play a new sport.You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song.You've got to practise.12. What can we learn from the first paragraph？A. The writer's home was very rich.B. The writer's mother was a teacher.C. The writer was born in a poor family.D. The writer didn't like reading books.13. What does the writer want everyone to do by improving their talents and skills？A. To quit on their country to earn more money.B. To help solve the most difficult problems.C. To write their own new destiny by working as a TV star.D. To spend some time writing books about their own life.14. Why does the writer call on everyone to set his/her own goal？A. Because everyone's future is determined by themselves.B. Because eyeryone's future is to do simple work.C. Because everyone should do their homework.D. Because everyone should pay attention in class.15. How can people realise their great dreams？A. By rapping.B. By playing basketball.C. By being a reality star.D. By working hard.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AMany people like to explore the Internet．Exploring the Internet is one of the most important activities of the day．The Internet brings the outside world closer to people's homes．Some people say the world is smaller than before because of the Internet．What's going on in other countries？How do people live in places far away？Is there a good sports game somewhere？What's life like in the deepest part of the sea？Ifyou want to answer all these questions，just come to the Internet．Of course，people can also learn through reading or listening to the radio．But with the Internet they can learn better and more easily．A lot of information can be collected at a great speed．Can we go shopping without leaving home？Can we see a doctor without going to the hospital？Can we study without going to school？Can we draw money without going to the bank？All these things seemed to be impossible，but now have become true．The Internet helps us to open our eyes． The Internet also helps to open our minds．The Internet often gives us new ideas．In a word，it helps us in many ways．Great changes have taken place in our life since the use of the Internet．1.What's the main idea of the second paragraph？ ______A. We can learn only through reading or listening to the radio．B. We can know everything through the Internet．C. A lot of information can be collected at a great speed through the Internet．D. We can become wise because of the Internet．2.According to the third paragraph，we can do the following on the Internet EXCEPT______ ．A. go shoping without leaving homeB. see a doctor without going to the hospitalC. study without going to schoolD. draw money without banks3.The underlined sentence"The Internet also helps to open our minds．"means ______ ．A. we cannot think without the InternetB. something is wrong with our minds because of the InternetC. our minds can't be opened unless we search the InternetD. we can get some new ideas from the Internet4.The passage mainly tells us ______ ．A. the Internet helps us a lot in many waysB. we don't need banks，schools or hospitalsC. the Internet is everythingD. we cannot live without the Internet．BSports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature．However，whether you are on the mountains，in the waves，or on the grassland，you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment．Some sports are resource-hungry．Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water．Besides，all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场）in good condition．This causes major environmental effects．For example，in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain，golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas．There are many environment-friendly sports．Power walking is one of them that you could take up today．You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes；and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse．Simple and free，power walking can also keep you fit．If you walk regularly，it will be good for your heart and bones．Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight control．Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from reused materials．But the final goal should be"green gyms"．They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers．Members of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spaces．There is no special requirement for you to start your membership．And best of all，it's free．5.Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of？ ______A. Cycling around a lake．B. Motor racing in the desert．C. Playing basketball in a gymD. Swimming in a sports center．6.What do we know about golf from the passage？ ______A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain．B. It causes water shortages around the world．C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes．D. It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green．7.The author uses power walking as an example mainly because ______ ．A. it is an outdoor sportB. it improves our healthC. it uses fewer resourcesD. it is recommended by experts8.The author writes the passage to ______ ．A. show us the function of major sportsB. encourage us to go in for green sportsC. discuss the major influence of popular sportsD. introduce different types of environment-friendly sportsCAlthough most hitchhikers （搭便车的人） are people， passers-by tend to ignore them because they are cautious about giving rides to strangers． But what will they do if they come across a hitchhiking robot？ Will they take it to its destination or will they just leave the helpless machine by the wayside？That is the answer Canadian professors， David Harris Smith and Frauke Zeller， who study the relationship between humans and technology， are seeking for after they came up with the idea of building a hitchhiking robot．HitchBOT is built with cheap household items． Thanks to a PC tablet， GPS tracker and camera， hitchBOT not only can send its thoughts and pictures to the general public，but also can answer general questions and keep drivers entertained with small talks． The smart robot is even able to quote interesting facts about the areas it has passed through．Not surprisingly， many people are doubtful about hitchBOT's ability． Most people think the cute robot will be damaged by someone． Actually， they are all wrong． The robot hitchhiked all the way from Halifax， Nova Scotia， to Victoria， British Columbia， a distance of 3，700 miles． It was first picked up on July 27th by an elderly couple． It not only reached its destination on August 21st， but also hadsome amazing adventures along the way． It visited national parks， went fishing，went camping， and even attended a wedding where it experienced its first dance and interrupted the bride's speech．In addition to helping it get to its destination， its Canadian fans have gone out to ensure its safety from covering the robot with a plastic cape （披肩） to help keep it dry to ensuring that it stays healthy with motor oil．9.Why is the hitchhiking robot built？ ______A. To find out how people might react to it．B. To help passers-by reach their destinations．C. To see if it will give rides to strangers．D. To entertain drivers on their way．10.The hitchBOT can do all of the following except ______ ．A. talking with the driver．B. dancing with people．C. answering any question raised．D. sending its thoughts and pictures．11.How long did it take the hitchBOT to reach its destination？ ______A. Over one month．B. Nearly a month．C. Two months．D. One week．12.What can we learn about the hitchBOT？ ______A. It was ignored by an elderly couple．B. It didn't meet with any danger along the way．C. It will be put into the market quickly．D. It experienced a long and amazing journey．DThere is an old Chinese proverb that states “One Generation plants the trees; another gets the shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. Thesecharacteristics include a hierarchy(等级) of responsibility and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, says, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship canˈt be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don’t care deeply about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened with their mother’s well being.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always “trumps”(王牌) friend.13.What does the underli ned word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Differ.B. Prevent.C. Benefit.D. Change.14.What do we know from the text?A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.B. A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.C. The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship.D. Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.15.How does the author mainly prove his statements?A. By listing data.B. By giving explanations.C. By quoting sayings.D. By making examples.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。

AAs a young woman who was always interested in style, I got lucky in interning(实习) with a fashion company in Tokyo, last summer.I worked as an assistant in the Business Planning Department, helping with marketing for the 2007 Spring/Summer collections. Fashion is a beautiful industry. But against my expectation, it also has lots of ordinary work. Every day, I would do sample testing, prepare the brochure for future launches, and meet with customers and visitors.Japanese companies had a traditional work style. We had a meeting every morning at 9 o'clock. Every Monday, all employees, including those in other parts of Japan, would take part in a conference call. Every afternoon, after finishing work, each of us would say goodbye to every manager in the company, which took more than five minutes.All of this kept me fresh. And the strict work atmosphere caused me to work harder. At the end of last August, the company's 2007 Spring/Summer collection started with a big show and was very successful. Lots of customers showed an interest in our products, including a businessman from Hong Kong.He went to our company for more details on the products, but he couldn't speak Japanese and none of the staff spoke good English.Just when the situation seemed helpless, I offered to give it a try. I was a Japanese major, but I had also practiced my English often. My translation job was praised by both the customer and my boss. And the guest made a big purchase.The two-month internship taught me a lot about business. And the pay - 150,000 yen, or over 10,000 yuan a month- was enough to cover my daily living costs in Tokyo.Moreover, the experience made me stand out. Every interviewer I've spoken with showed an interest and discussed my internship with me.And thanks to this experience, I've found a good job in one of the Big Four accounting firms and will start working this summer.21. Before she interned(实习) in the fashion company in Tokyo, the writer ______A. did not like the fashion.B. imagined it being beautiful and simply.C. didn’t expect a fashion industry had lots of work as ordinary as normal.D. was nervous about it.22. What would each of the employees in Japanese Companies do every afternoon?A. They do sample testing.B. They meet with customers and visitors.C. They prepare the brochure for future launches.D. They say good bye to every manager.23. Why does the writer work harder?A. Because she is often kept freshB. Because Japanese traditional strict work style causes her to.C. Because a meeting every morning is held.D. Because they hold a conference call every Monday.24. What can you learn from the passage?A. Internship usually plays an important role in finding a good job.B. Chinese are good at English.C. Japanese are good at spoken English.D. And the pay the writer got was enough for her future life.BA Grassroots RemedyMost of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. To this end, we walk the dog, play golf, go fishing, sit in the garden, drink outside rather than inside the pub, have a picnic, live in the suburbs, go to the seaside, buy a weekend place in the country. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. And when joggers (慢跑者) jog, they don’t run the streets. Every one of them instinctively heads to the park or the river. It is my profound belief that not only do we all need nature, but we all seek nature, whether we know we are doing so or not.But despite this, our children are growing up nature-deprived (丧失). I spent my boyhood climbing trees on Streatham Common, South London. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and odd new perceptions about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (多动症). Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.A study in Sweden indicated that kindergarten children who could play in a natural environment had less illness and greater physical ability than children used only to a normal playground. A US study suggested that when a school gave children access to a natural environment, academic levels were raised across the entire school.Another study found that children play differently in a natural environment. In playgrounds, children create a hierarchy (等级) based on physical abilities, with the tough ones taking the lead. But when a grassy area was planted with bushes, the children got much more into fantasy play, and the social hierarchy was now based on imagination and creativity.Most bullying (恃强凌弱) is found in schools where there is a tarmac (柏油碎石) playground; the least bullying is in a natural area that the children are encouraged to explore. This reminds me unpleasantly of Sunnyhill School in Streatham, with its harsh tarmac, where I used to hang about in corners fantasising about wildlife.But children are frequently discouraged from involvement with natural spaces, for health and safety reasons, for fear that they might get dirty or that they might cause damage. So, instead, the damage is done to the children themselves: not to their bodies but to their souls.One of the great problems of modern childhood is ADHD, now increasingly and expensively treated with drugs. Yet one study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing emphasis for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality.In wider and more difficult areas of life, there is evidence to indicate that natural surroundings improve all kinds of things. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.Dr William Bird, researcher from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, states in his study, “A natural environment can reduce violent behaviour becau se its restorative process helps reduce anger and impulsive behaviour.” Wild places need encouraging for this reason, no matter how small their contribution.We tend to look on nature conservation as some kind of favour that human beings are granting to the natural world. The error here is far too deep: not only do humans need nature for themselves, but the very idea that humanity and the natural world are separable things is profoundly damaging.Human beings are a species of mammals (哺乳动物). For seven million years they lived on the planet as part of nature. Our ancestral selves miss the natural world and long for contact with non-human life. Anyone who has patted a dog, stroked a cat, sat under a tree with a pint of beer, given or received a bunch of flowers or chosen to walk through the park on a nice day, understands that.We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being, our health, our happiness. Without the wild world we are not more but less civilised. Without other living things around us we are less than human.Five ways to find harmony with the natural worldWalk: Break the rhythm of permanently being under a roof. Get off a stop earlier, make a circuit of the park at lunchtime, walk the child to and from school, get a dog, feel yourself moving in moving air, look, listen, absorb.Sit: Take a moment, every now and then, to be still in an open space. In the garden, anywhere that’s not in the office, anywhere out of the house, away from the routine. Sit under a tree, look at water, feel refreshed, ever so slightly renewed.Drink: The best way to enjoy the natural world is by yourself; the second best way is in company. Take a drink outside with a good person, a good gathering: talk with the sun and the wind with birdsong for background.Learn: Expand your boundaries. Learn five species of bird, five butterflies, five trees, five bird songs. That way, you see and hear more: and your mind responds gratefully to the greater amount of wildness in your life.Travel: The places you always wanted to visit: by the seaside, in the country, in the hills. Take a weekend break, a day-trip, get out there and do it: for the scenery, for the way through the woods, for the birds, for the bees. Go somewhere special and bring specialness home. It lasts forever, after all.25. What does the author say people prefer for their children nowadays?A. Personal freedom.B. Things that are natural.C. Urban surroundings.D. Things that are purchased.26. Children who have chances to explore natural areas ________.A. tend to develop a strong love for scienceB. are more likely to fantasise about wildlifeC. tend to be physically tougher in adulthoodD. are less likely to be involved in bullying27. What does the author suggest we do to help children with ADHD?A. Find more effective drugs for them.B. Provide more green spaces for them.C. Place them under more personal care.D. Engage them in more meaningful activities.28. Dr William Bird suggests in his study that ________.A. humanity and nature are complementary to each otherB. wild places may induce impulsive behaviour in peopleC. access to nature contributes to the reduction of violenceD. it takes a long time to restore nature once damagedCCaught in the WebA few months ago, it wasn't unusual for 47-year-old Carla Toebe to spend 15 hours per day online. She'd wake up early, turn on her laptop and chat on Internet dating sites and instant-messaging programs – leaving her bed for only brief intervals. Her household bills piled up, along with the dishes and dirty laundry, but it took near-constant complaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem."I was starting to feel like my whole world was falling apart – kind of slipping into a depression," said Carla. "I knew that if I didn't get off the dating sites, I'd just keep going," detaching (使脱离) herself further from the outside world.Toebe's conclusion: She felt like she was "addicted" to the Internet. She's not alone.Concern about excessive Internet use isn't new. As far back as 1995, articles in medical journals and the establishment of a Pennsylvania treatment center for overusers generated interest in the subject. There's still no consensus on how much time online constitutes too much or whether addiction is possible.But as reliance on the Web grows, there are signs that the question is getting more serious attention: Last month, a study published in CNS Spectrums claimed to be the first large-scale look at excessive Internet use. The American Psychiatric Association may consider listing Internet addiction in the nextedition of its diagnostic manual. And scores of online discussion boards have popped up on which people discuss negative experiences tied to too much time on the Web."There's no question that there're people who're seriously in trouble because they're overdoing their Internet involvement," said psychiatrist (精神科医生) Ivan Goldberg. Goldberg calls the problem a disorder rather than a true addiction.Jonathan Bishop, a researcher in Wales specializing in online communities, is more skeptical. "The Internet is an environment," he said. "You can't be addicted to the environment." Bishop describes the problem as simply a matter of priorities, which can be solved by encouraging people to prioritize other life goals and plans in place of time spent online.The new CNS Spectrums study was based on results of a nationwide telephone survey of more than 2,500 adults. Like the 2005 survey, this one was conducted by Stanford University researchers.About 6% of respondents reported that "their relationships suffered because of excessive Internet use." About 9% attempted to conceal "nonessential Internet use," and nearly 4% reported feeling "preoccupied by the Internet when offline."About 8% said they used the Internet as a way to escape problems, and almost 14% reported they "found it hard to stay away from the Internet for several days at a time.""The Internet problem is still in its infancy," said Elias Aboujaoude, a Stanford professor. No single online activity is to blame for excessive use, he said. "They're online in chat rooms, checking e-mail, or writing blogs. [The problem is] not limited to porn (色情) or gambling" websites.Excessive Internet use should be defined not by the number of hours spent online but "in terms of losses," said Maressa Orzack, a Harvard University professor. "If it's a loss [where] you're not getting to work, and family relationships are breaking down as a result, then it's too much."Since the early 1990s, several clinics have been established in the U. S. to treat heavy Internet users. They include the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery and the Center for Internet Behavior.The website for Orzack's center lists the following among the psychological symptoms of computer addiction:● Having a sense of well-being (幸福) or excitement while at the computer.● Longing for more and more time at the computer.● Neglect of family and friends.● Feeling empty, depressed or irritable when not at the computer.● Lying to employers and family about activities.● Inability t o stop the activity.● Problems with school or job.Physical symptoms listed include dry eyes, backaches, skipping meals, poor personal hygiene (卫生) and sleep disturbances.People who struggle with excessive Internet use maybe depressed or have other mood disorders, Orzack said. When she discusses Internet habits with her patients, they often report that being online offers a "sense of belonging, and escape, excitement [and] fun," she said. "Some people say relief…because they find themselves so relax ed."Some parts of the Internet seem to draw people in more than others. Internet gamers spend countless hours competing in games against people from all over the world. One such game, called World of Warcraft, is cited on many sites by posters complaining of a "gaming addiction."Andrew Heidrich, an education network administrator from Sacramento, plays World of Warcraft for about two to four hours every other night, but that's nothing compared with the 40 to 60 hours a week he spent playing online games when he was in college. He cut back only after a full-scale family intervention (干预), in which relatives told him he'd gained weight."There's this whole culture of competition that sucks people in" with online gaming, said Heidrich, now a father of two. "People do it at the expense of everything that was a constant in their lives." Heidrich now visits websites that discuss gaming addiction regularly "to remind myself to keep my love for online games in check."Toebe also regularly visits a site where posters discuss Internet overuse. In August, when she first realized she had a problem, she posted a message on a Yahoo Internet addiction group with the subject line: "I have an Internet Addiction.""I'm self-employed and need the Internet for my work, but I'm failing to accomplish my work,to take care of my home, to give attention to my children," she wrote in a message sent to the group."I have no money or insurance to get professional help; I can't even pay my mortgage (抵押贷款) and face losing everything."Since then, Toebe said, she has kept her promise to herself to cut back on her Internet use. "I have a boyfriend now, and I'm not interested in online dating," she said by phone last week. "It's a lot better now."29. What eventually made Carla Toebe realize she was spending too much time on the Internet?A. Her daughter's repeated complaints.B. Fatigue resulting from lack of sleep.C. The poorly managed state of her house.D. The high financial costs adding up.30. What does the author say about excessive Internet use?A. People should be warned of its harmful consequences.B. It has become virtually inevitable.C. It has been somewhat exaggerated.D. People haven't yet reached agreement on its definition.31. Jonathan Bishop believes that the Internet overuse problem can be solved if people ______.A. try to improve the Internet environmentB. become aware of its serious consequencesC. can realize what is important in lifeD. can reach a consensus on its definitionDColleges taking another look at value of merit-based aid Good grades and high tests scores still matter—a lot—to many colleges as they award financial aid.But with low-income students projected to make up an ever-larger share of the college-bound population in coming years, some schools are re-examining whe ther that aid, typically known as “merit aid”, is the most effective use of precious institutional dollars.George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for example, said last week that it would cut the value of its average merit scholarships by about one-third and reduce the number of recipients(接受者), pouring the savings, about $2.5 million, into need-based aid. Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa., made a similar decision three years ago.Now, Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., says it will phase out merit scholarships altogether. No current merit-aid recipients will lose their scholarships, but need-based aid alone will be awarded beginning with students entering in fall 2008.Not all colleges offer merit aid; generally, the more selective a school, the less likely it is to do so. Harvard and Princeton, for example, offer generous need-based packages, but many families who don’t meet need eligibility(资格)have been willing to pay whatever they must for a big-name school.For small regional colleges that struggle just to fill seats, merit aid can be an important revenue-builder because many recipients still pay enough tuition dollars over and above the scholarship amount to keep the institution running.But for rankings-conscious schools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit top students and to improve their academic profits. “They’re trying to buy students,” says Skidmore College economist Sandy Baum.Studies show merit aid also tends to benefit disproportionately students who could afford to enroll without it.“As we look to the future, we see a more pressing need to invest in need-based aid,” says Monica Inzer, dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton, which has offered merit scholarships for 10 years. During that time, it rose in US News & World Report’s ranking of the best liberal arts colleges, from 25 to 17.Merit aid, which benefited about 75 students a year, or about 4% of its student body, at a cost of about $ 1 million a year, “served us well,” Inzer says, but “to be discounting the price for families that don’t need financial aid doesn’t feel right any more.”Need-based aid remains by far the largest share of all student aid, which includes state, federal and institutional grants. But merit aid, offered primarily by schools and states, is growing faster, both overall and at the institutional level.Between 1995-96 and 2003-04, institutional merit aid alone increased 212%, compared with 47% for need-based grants. At least 15 states also offer merit aid, typically in a bid to enroll top students in the state’s public institutions.But in recent years, a growing chorus(异口同声)of critics has begun pressuring schools to drop the practice. Recent decisions by Hamilton and others may be “a sign that peopl e are starting to realize that there’s this destructive competition going on,” says Baum, co-author of a recent College Report that raises concerns about the role of institutional aid not based on need.David Laird, president of the Minnesota Private College Council, says many of his schools would like to reduce their merit aid but fear that in doing so, they would lose top students to their competitors.“No one can take one-sided action,” says Laird, who is exploring whether to seek an exemption(豁免)from federal anti-trust laws so member colleges can discuss how they could jointly reduce merit aid, “This is a merry-go-round that’s going very fast, and none of the institutions believe they can sustain the risks of trying to break away by themselves.”A complicating factor is that merit aid has become so popular with middle-income families, who don’t qualify for need-based aid, that many have come to depend on it. And, as tuitions continue to increase, the line between merit and need blurs.That’s one reason Allegheny College doesn’t plan to drop merit aid entirely.“We still believe in rewarding superior achievements and know that these top students truly value the scholarship,” says Scott Friedhoff, Allegheny’s vice president for enrollment.Emory University in Atlanta, which boasts a $4.7 billion endowment(捐赠), meanwhile, is taking another approach. This year, it announced it would eliminate loans for needy students and cap them for middle-income families. At the same time, it would expand its 28-year-old merit program.“Yeah, we’re playing the merit game,” acknowledges Tom Lancaster, associate dean for undergraduate education. But it has its strong point, too, he says. “The fact of the matter is, it’s not just about the lowest-income people. It’s the average American middle-class family who’s being priced out of the market.”*A few words about merit-based aid:Merit-based aid is aid offered to students who achieve excellence in a given area, and is generally known as academic, athletic and artistic merit scholarships.Academic merit scholarships are based on students’ grades, GPA and overall academic performance during high school. They are typically meant for students going straight to college right after high school. However, there are scholarships for current college students with exceptional grades as well. These merit scholarships usually help students pay tuition bills, and they can be renewed each year as long as the recipients continue to qualify. In some cases, students may need to be recommended by their school or a teacher as part of the qualification process.Athletic merit scholarships are meant for students that excel(突出)in sports of any kind, from football to track and field events. Recommendation for these scholarships is required, since exceptional athletic performance has to be recognized by a coach or a referee(裁判). Applicants need to send in a tape containing their best performance.Artistic merit scholarships require that applicants excel in a given artistic area. This generally includes any creative field such as art, design, fashion, music, dance or writing. Applying for artistic merit scholarships usually requires that students submit a portfolio(选辑)of some sort, whether that includes a collection of artwork, a recording of a musical performance or a video of them dancing.32. With more and more low-income students pursuing higher education, a number of colleges are ________.A. offering students more merit-based aidB. revising their financial aid policiesC. increasing the amount of financial aidD. changing their admission processes33. The chief purpose of rankings-conscious colleges in offering merit aid is to ______.A. improve teaching qualityB. boost their enrollmentsC. attract good studentsD. increase their revenues34. In recent years, merit-based aid has increased much faster than need-based aid due to ______.A. more government funding to collegesB. fierce competition among institutionsC. the increasing number of top studentsD. schools’ improved f inancial situations35. What is the attitude of many private colleges toward merit aid, according to David Laird?A. They would like to see it reduced.B. They regard it as a necessary evil.C. They think it does more harm than good.D. They consider it unfair to middle-class families.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。

This non-stop fun ride will help you in experiencing a new dimension of thrill.21.Which of the following is true about Wet 'n' Wild Water Amusement Park?A. It is a responsible park.B. It has foods for different age groups.C. It is open all day long.D. It has various entertainment activities.22.How much should a couple with two kids aged 7 and 2 pay for entry?A. 1，600 Rupees.B. 1,400 Rupees.C. 1.200 Rupees.D. 1,100 Rupees.23.What's the author’s purpose of writing the text?A. To persuade.B. To advertise.C. To entertain.D. To describe.BNot long ago, my wife and I spent a weekend together without any of our three children. This was the first time we had been alone for more than a few hours since our oldest was born four years ago.What did we do on our short vacation? My wife read the first hundred or so pages of Tom Jones , a book she has been meaning to read for ages. There was takeout and a nice long walk alongthe shore of Lake Michigan. Football was watched. But mostly? We slept, without worrying for once about whether a shrill voice might awaken us between the hours of 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. to demand a glass of water (“No，not that one，the Tinkerbell cup!’’）. We were too relaxed to do anything else.As parents, we might tell other people that given the chance for even a short child-free break we would love to do some reading or take in a concert. This is not true. The truth is that what most of us really want is a chance not to think about how well we are using our time.By admitting this，I realize the myth(错误的看法）of the brain-dead parents. Being brain-dead is what a parent like me looks forward to rather than something to be accused of. The novelist Lucy Ellmann recently provided a convenient summary in an interview：You watch people get pregnant and know they’ll be emotionally and intellectually absent for20 years. Thought, knowledge, adult conversation, and vital political action are all put on hold. Witha kiddo, you become a human koala while your old friends continue to have “interests”. They do art and literature and science, you see, not diapers(尿不湿）.When you become responsible for the life of a very small person, nothing is more important than shouldering that responsibility. In that sense，parenting is a chance to reconsider the value of an extra 20 minutes in bed or a short phone conversation with an old friend. As to my wife and me, we spent the weekend eating steamed dumplings and drinking wine until we fell asleep.We value the all-too-rare experience of being brain-dead.24.What did the author and his wife mainly do on the weekend?A. They did some reading.B. They had a sound sleep.C. They had a nice long walk.D. They watched a football match.25.What do the underlined words “put on hold” in paragraph 5 refer to?A. In control.B. Forbidden.C. Abandoned.D. In vain.26.How does keeping kids change the author’s life?A. He begins to feel lonely.B. He is no longer responsible.C. He becomes absent-minded.D. He hardly has his own time.27.What’s the best title of the passage?A. Tips for new parentsB. Avoiding being brain-dead parentsC. The myth of brain-dead parentsD. How to steal time as brain-dead parentsCIn the future，we may not need to rely on human donations for life-saving skin grafts(移植）.That’s the goal of Xeno Therapeutics, a biotech non-profit organization. The US Food and Drug Administration approved the group’s initial application for temporary skin grafts removed from genetically modified(基因改良）pigs. This means that they can start testing pig skin grafts on people who have experienced severe burns.Skin，the body’s largest organ，plays an important role in blocking pathogens(病原体）from reaching our organs inside. It also helps the body keep a constant temperature. People with severe skin damage are at a high risk of developing deadly infections as a result of changes in temperature.At the moment, the only skin grafts available in the US come from the dead people who have agreed to be organ donors, or patients who have gone through surgery to remove skin after large weight loss. These human skins used for grafts are not easy to find.Xeno Therapeutics, which gets its name from animal-to-human transplants, has raised pigs that have skin remarkably similar to our own. Grafts from these pigs are therefore more likely to hide without being detected by the host's immune system—at least temporarily. The idea is that they could be used for immediate burn treatment, followed human skin graft treatment later.“I’d say that just like comparing a Coke with Pepsi，it would be hard to tell which was the human skin and which was the pig graft，” said Xeno Therapeutics CEO Paul Holzer.The non-profit organization has been working to conduct the clinical trials, which will only be testing the grafts’ safety and tolerability in six patients with severe burns. Assuming the results are positive after a month, the grafts will need to pass through two more stages of testing before they can be approved for widespread clinical use.Several other groups around the world are working to make animal organs suitable for clinical medicine. In Brazil, researchers are exploring using tilapia skin as temporary bandages for burn victims whose skin is regrowing.28.What’s the aim of Xeno Therapeutics?A. To make profit from the grafts.B. To apply pig skin on human patients.C. To modify pigs genetically.D. To test people with severe burns.29.Why is skin important toA. It acts as a protective layer for our body.B. It helps us recover from deadly diseases.C. It prevents itself from being damaged.D. It keeps one’s temperature changing.30.What is Paul Holzer’s attitudes towards the pig skin grafts?A. Doubtful.B. Worried.C. Confident.D. Flexible.31.What can we know about the grafts?A. Only skin removed from pigs can be used for grafts.B. Brazilian doctors have also applied pig skin for grafts.C. Animal skin has been used on six patients safely.D. They won t be put to use until they pass test'DGiant, krill-eating whales could grow even bigger if the size and availability of their prey (猎物）could keep up，a new study finds.Whales are the heaviest animals to have ever lived on our planet. These marine giants evolved from dog-sized four-legged land creatures and grew nearly 10,000 times bigger in the past 50 million years or so, according to Nicholas Pyenson, head of fossil marine mammals at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.Creatures benefit from having a bigger size in a number of different ways, whether it’s not getting eaten by smaller creatures or having the ability to keep warm and travel great distances more efficiently. Still, some whale species are bigger than others, and they do have some limits to their size.To find out what these limits are，researcher attached multisensor equipment to many types of whales. The researcher also assessed prey type and quantity using different methods. For baleen whale prey，they used acoustic(声学的) equipment to test the density (密度）of krill patches. For toothed whales, they looked at the size and quantity of squid(鱿鱼）beaks and otoliths (parts of the inner ear) found in the stomachs of beached whales.Putting all the data together, they could determine how much energy the whales were likely to get back from the food. For toothed whales, the limiting factor seems to be the size of their prey. Sperm whales were found to feed mostly on medium-sized squid—possibly because there aren’t as many giant squid in the ocean. Baleen whales, like blue whales swallow massive mouthfuls of krill or other small creature. But these small creatures only appear in large concentrations for a few months per year in some areas ,which may be the limiting factor for the growth of the largest whales.A researcher said that it ‘s not completely clear that baleen whales have finished growing. “Perhaps several million years into the future we’ ll see something even larger than a blue whale.”32.What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. Whales kept growing during evolution.B. Whales evolved from dogs on the land.C. Whales used to be four-legged fish.D. The number of krill-eating whales would keep up.33.How do whales benefit from their size?A. They are more expert at traveling.B. They can produce energy more easily.C. They have better chances to survive.D. They can be eaten by smaller creatures.34.How did the researchers carry out the study?A. Testing the density of whales with acoustic equipment.B. Using different methods for different types of whales.C. Calculating the amount of food in baleen whales’ stomachs.D. Assessing the type and quantity of different whales.35.What may stop whales from growing even bigger?A. The amount of food.B. The availability of equipment.C. The size of their stomachs.D. The concentrations of the whales.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。

It’s the ability to get yourself to take action whether you feel like it or not.

The profession of sales is not for the weak minded person.Mental toughness in sales is about the ability to have 99 people say “No” to you and still be fully confident that the 100th person will say “Yes”. How many people do you think can go in and talk to the 100th potential client with the same enthusiasm and excitement that he or she had with their prospect? 18．Sales is truly one of the few professions where a person with no educational background, with no talent or skilIs, can become one of the highest paid，most respected people around. What it really take isn't brains, or a nice expensive suit, or even knowing the right people to begin with. 19．It's that sales person who will not stop making cold calls until he/she gets the amount of appointments necessary to achieve his/her goal.20．If you are in sales, then you can literally change your entire life around, from poverty and broke, to wealthy and fulfilled. If you are in a leadership position, realize that you have the opportunity to help change people’s lives. Learn everything you can about motivation and t here will be no limits to what you can achieve.A．Not many at all.B．Sales can be a life changing profession.C．This is why most people fail to be a success in the field of sales.D．The ability to inspire confidence in your team will make you a true leader.E.Sales happens to be the number one highest paid profession in the world.F.Here are some videos that may help take your sales career to the next level.G.What it takes to be successful in sales is a burning desire to be the best at it.A parent’s hope s for 2030When 2010 arrived, my son was only a year old—tiny. 21 ，the master of a few basic words, but still mostly the baby we'd 22 into the world.Now my baby has grown into an 23 —tall, strong,stout, and smart, a(n) 24of Akira Kurosawa samurai movies.A 25 from now, in 2030, he will be an adult.

After threeyears of tests and treatments, the doctors figured out she has a rare mitochondrial disease thatis causing progressive mental and physical health to go worse. They told her there was no cure and that this disease would take her life.Yet Stemple kept running and competing in marathons. One day she was training forthe Rock 'n' Roll Marathon in Las Vegas when she became too sick to travel. The usually outgoing Stemple sunk into disappointment. But then she received a gift—it was a marathon medal given to her by a friend.Stemple hung the medal near her hospital bed and it was an instant conversation starter with doctors ,nurses and anyone who came to visit. That medal pulled Stemple out of her disappointment. And that gave Stemple the idea to start We Finish Together, an organization devoted to connecting runners who wish to donate medals with those who might appreciate them. Stemple pens a hand written note ofen couragement on each of the medals she gives away. Recipients have included hospital patients, residents of homeless shelters and even doctors and nurseswho care for the very ill. "This gives them a connection to someone,"says Stemple. "If they receive a medal, they know someone cares."Can asimple medal really make a difference? Joan Musarra said yes, who suffered froma serious disease. "I opened my package containing my new medal and the notes of positive, warm thoughts. I was really excited," she wrote toStemple. "It means so much to me to feel that I am not alone."24. What can we infer about Stemple before she got too sick to exercise?A. She was doubtful.B. She was optimistic.C. She was courageous.D. She was down-hearted.25. What inspired Stemple to foundWe Finish Together?A. Her friend ' s gift.B. The medals she won.C. The patients' request.D. The encouragement from doctors.26.

She and her team are with the New England Aquarium in Boston, Massachusetts. They measured stress hormones （荷尔蒙）by studying baleen, a substance found in the upper part of the mouth of some kinds of whale. She explains that the baleen serves as a record that shows a spike in stress hormones when whales face dangers such as a changing climate and ship strikes. Scientists canthen read these records, similar to reading the rings on a tree.Under standing the information is important because whales who often feel stressed are less likely to be reproductive and more likely to become sick. That combination is not good for the whale population, which is already dangerously low.The scientists did their work on a whale that had become trapped in fishing equipment, which some scientists estimate kills up to 300,000 whales and dolphins annually. It was finally killed by Inuit hunters who found it tryingto drag the fishing equipment. The hunters said the whale seemed to lack energy. When scientists examined the dead whale, they found its mouth showed anincrease in stress hormones 20 times greater than normal.Regina Asmutis-Silvia is a biologist with the Whale and Dolphin Conservation in Massachusetts.

This is especiallytrue for individuals who have been working in one position for many years ordoing the same thing day in and day out. Why does this happen?No matterwhich career （职业）path youhave chosen, you are going to experience competition and expect to prove thatyou are one of the best people who have applied for the position. That being said, once you secure a position, it can be easy to take a look around and determine that it would be hard to move up due to the misconception that others are better than you. Actually, you have your own set of skills and strengths that give you a competitive advantage in comparison to others. Under valuing your worthand abilities and not moving on because of this is the right reason why you may feel stuck in your job.If your position or job provides you with enough money to lead a comfortable life, you may be comfortable but comfort doesn't equal contentedness.
