中学英语阅读理解专练小卷(七)Barber poles are one of those symbols that everyone recognizes. The red and white stripes (条) around a pole outside a shop let everyone know that this is a good place to get a haircut.While most everyone recognizes this symbol immediately, you might not know what it actually means. As it turns out, the meanings behind the barber pole and its colors have a rather gruesome history that may just surprise you.Back in the Middle Ages, barbers did more than haircuts and shaves.Barbers also offered certain medical services, like bloodletting. Bloodletting was used to treat many diseases from the simple, like throat pain, to more dangerous illnesses like infectious disease.Surgeons often wouldn’t do “simple” tasks like bloodletting as they considered it too ordinary. So barbers took over the task, along with other procedures like tooth extraction, and treatment for wounds and broken bones. In fact, barbers became known as “barber-surgeons” because of the broad range of services they offered. This continued until the mid to late 18th century, when treatments like bloodletting began to fall out of fashion.At first, barber-surgeons advertised their services to a largely illiterate (文盲的) public by placing a bowl of blood in their windows. However, later a law banned this practice, which meant that barbers needed to find another way. Then the red-and-white striped pole rapidly became the symbol of barber-surgeons afterward.According to historians, the red was meant to represent blood, while the white symbolized the bandages. The colors are wrapped around a stick because this represents the sticks that patients would hold in order to make the veins (血管) of their arms stand out. When the procedure was finished, barber-surgeons would wash the bandages, wrap them around the sticks, and place them outside to dry. In Europe, barber poles are red and white, so the blue stripe is a United States addition to represent the color of veins.So next time you’re heading to the barber, remember the history behind thecolors of the pole.85.What does the underlined word “gruesome” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Embarrassing.B.Horrible.C.Glorious.D.Unforgettable. 86.What was included in barbers’ services in the 17th century?A.Selling beauty products.B.Treating a toothache.C.Performing big operations.D.Providing physical examination.87.What can we know about the blue stripes around the barber pole?A.They were used to stop bleeding.B.They were designed to calm patients.C.They stood for the color of veins.D.They can be found in Europe.88.What can be the best title for the passage?A.What Is the Story behind Haircuts?B.Why Barber Poles Become Popular?C.What Is the History of Barber’s Shop?D.Why Are Barber Poles Red, White and Blue?Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst) recently announced that they have figured out how to engineer a biofilm (生物膜) that harvests the energy in evaporation (蒸发) and changes it to electricity. This biofilm, which was announced in Nature Communications, has the potential to revolutionize the world of wearable electronics, powering everything from personal medical sensors to personal electronics.“This is a very exciting technology,” says Liu Xiaomeng, graduate student in electrical and computer engineering in UMass Amherst’s College of Engineering and the paper’s lead author. “It generates real green energy, and unlike other so-called ‘green-energy’ sources, its production is totally green.”That’s because this biofilm-which is a sheet of bacterial cells and as thin as a sheet of paper-is produced naturally by an, engineered version of the bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens (硫还原地杆菌). G. sulfurreducens is known to produce electricity and has been used previously in “microbial batteries” to power electrical equipment. But such batteries require that G. sulfurreducens be properly cared for and fed a constant diet. By contrast, this new biofilm, which can supply as much energy as a comparably sized battery, works continuously, because it is dead. And because it’s dead, it doesn’t need to be fed.The secret behind this new biofilm is that it makes energy from the moisture (水分) on your skin. Though we daily read stories about solar power, at least 50% of the solar energy reaching the earth goes toward evaporating water. “This is a huge, undiscovered source of energy,” says Yao Jun, professor of electrical and computer engineering at UMass Amherst, and the paper’s one senior author. Since the surface of our skin is constantly moist with sweat, the biofilm can “plug into” it and change the energy locked in evaporation into enough energy to power small equipment. “Our next step is to increase the size of our film to power more intelligent wearable electronics,” says Yao, and Liu points out that one of the goals is to power entire electronic systems, rather than single equipment.89.What function is the biofilm expected to achieve?A.Updating wearable electronics.B.Acquiring power from evaporation.C.Changing the way of getting electricity.D.Supplying energy to “microbial batteries”. 90.What is the advantage of the biofilm compared with “microbial batteries”?A.It’s thinner in thickness.B.It’s environmentally friendly.C.It reduces the cost in usage.D.It employs a rare energy source.91.How does the biofilm power small devices?A.By interacting with solar power.B.By gaining energy from electronic systems.C.By using water to generate electricity.D.By producing continuous electricity from sweat.92.Which of the following best describes the biofilm?A.Flexible.B.Controversial.C.Promising.D.Delicate.AntarcticaWeatherAntarctica lies in the most southern part of the world. It is the coldest area on Earth. There isn’t much rain, but there is a lot of snow and wind. The lowest temperature was on 21 July in 1983 at -89.2℃!PopulationNobody lives in Antarctica all the time! The first people to stay there for a while were fishermen in 1786. Now there are about 5,000 scientists and researchers there in the summer. History of exploration (探险)During 1907-1909, British explorer Earnest Shackleton explored Antarctica on foot. In 1911, two explorers — a British man named Scott and a Norwegian named Amundsen — raced 1,400kilometers to the South Pole (南极). Amundsen arrived first.Animals and birdsThere aren’t any large animals in Antarctica. Polar bears live at the North Pole. But there are a lot of penguins and seabirds. Every spring there are over 100 million seabirds in Antarctica. 93.When did the lowest temperature appear in Antarctica?A.In 1786.B.In 1907.C.In 1911.D.In 1983.94.Who first stayed in Antarctica for some time?A.Fishermen.B.Scientists.C.Researchers.D.Explorers. 95.Where is Earnest Shackleton from?A.Britain.B.Norway.C.The South Pole.D.The North Pole.A machine can now not only beat you at chess, it can also outperform you in debate. Last week, in a public debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human competitors, including Noa Ovadia, Israel’s former national debating champion.Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of mistakes no human would make. Such mistakes will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a vital problem. As Kristian Hammond, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, put it: “There’s never a stage at which the system knows what it’s talking about.”What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what makes the least intelligent of humans different from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program specifies (明确规定) a set of rules to transform one string of symbols onto another. But it does not specify what those symbols mean. Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant. Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, also work with symbols. But for humans, meaning is everything. When we communicate, we communicate meaning. What matters is not just the outside of a string of symbols, but the inside too, not just how they are arranged but what they mean.Meaning becomes known through a process of social interaction (相互作用), not of computation, interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that decide meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social customs and social relations. It is this that tells humans and machines apart. And that’s why, however shocking Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence.96.Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph?A.To explain the use of a software program.B.To show the cleverness of Project Debater.C.To introduce the designer of Project Debater.D.To emphasize the fairness of the competition.97.What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond?A.Create rules.B.Talk fluently.C.Understand meaning.D.Identify difficult words.98.What can be inferred about the future of human tradition?A.It will go against AI.B.It will be passed down.C.It will definitely disappear.D.It will be written into programs.99.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Social interaction is key to understanding symbols.B.Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future.C.Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters.D.The human brain has more to be developed.Sitting in the classroom I felt confused, for I couldn’t read the blackboard. Then Mum took me to the hospital. Within a few days, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a severe visual impairment (视力障碍). In fact, I was practically blind. Amazingly, I’d managed to reach the age of 13 without anyone realizing, not even me! “It all makes sense now,” Mum said. As a kid living on a farm, I was forever falling over things. I was known as the clumsy (笨拙) one to my parents and four sisters. But now, I was being told that I saw the world differently — I could only make out the outlines of things. I was given reading glasses but they didn’t help much.Refusing to let my diagnosis hold me back, I continued doing everything I loved. As long as everything was in its place, I could feel my way around.Later I got married to Lance and had amazing kids. I could change nappies (尿布) and dress the kids fine — it just took a little longer as I relied on touch to work out where things were. Cooking, on the other hand, was not my forte. I was terrible — always mixing up sugar and salt!Nowadays, my grandkids have all been brought up not to leave toys on the floor or move chairs away from the table. “We don’t want Grandma tripping,” Lance will say.Over the year, I’ve enjoyed lovely family holidays, but sometimes felt like Lance or the kids were too protective of me. So I was thrilled when I booked myself on a trip to the Gold Coast with people who were just like me in a travel company. I’m not missing out — my life is beautiful. I’m so lucky to have a wonderful family and lots of experiences.Life is precious — you don’t need to “see” that.120.What can we know from the first paragraph?A.The reading glasses got the problem fixed.B.She always tripped because she was awkward.C.She got severe visual impairment at the age of 13.D.Nobody realized her sight was poor until she was 13.121.What does the underlined word “forte” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Weakness.B.Favourite.C.Strength.D.Business. 122.What can we know about the author?A.She is able to see things clearly now.B.She led a lonely and hopeless life.C.She could help care for the kids.D.She went to the Gold Coast all by herself.123.What can we learn from the author’s story?A.We need to go to travel frequently on our own.B.We should always turn to the family for help.C.Everyone should pay special attention to the blind people.D.Everyone can enjoy the beauty of life with a positive mind.Scientists in the Netherlands have trained bees to identify COVID-19 through their sense of smell, according to a press release from Wageningen University. The research was conducted on more than 150 bees in Wageningen University’s research lab.The scientists trained the bees by giving them a treat — a sugar-water solution — every time they were exposed (暴露于) to the smell of samples (样本) infected with COVID-19. Each time the bees were exposed to a non-infected sample, they wouldn’t get a reward. Eventually, the bees could identify an infected sample within a few seconds — and would then stick out their tongues like clockwork to collect the sugar water.Bees aren’t the first animals to detect COVID-19 by smell. Researchers have also trained dogs to tell the difference between positive and negative COVID-19 samples from human saliva (唾液) or sweat with fairly high levels of accuracy. A German study found that dogs could identify positive COVID-19 samples 94% of the time. That’s because the coronavirus (冠状病毒) makes an infected person’s body smell slightly different from those of a non-infected person. But researchers still aren’t sure whether animals are the best bet for smelling out COVID-19 cases outside the lab.“No one is saying they can replace a PCR machine, but they could be very promising,” Holger Volk, a neurologist, told Nature. PCR machines are what lab technicians use to process standard COVID-19 tests. At the very least, certain animals could be useful for identifying COVID-19 in places or countries in which high-tech lab equipment is not enough or inaccessible.Wageningen scientists are working on a machine that can train bees at once. Then bees can use their skills to test for coronavirus aerosols (气溶胶) in the surrounding environment. 124.How did the researchers teach the bees to identify COVID-19?A.By offering bees some rewards.B.By infecting bees with the virus.C.By raising bees with sugar water.D.By exposing bees to infected humans. 125.Why are dogs able to find out positive COVID-19 samples?A.They can watch for the hidden virus.B.They have a sharp sense of smell.C.They can feel samples’ inner changes.D.They react more quickly than bees.126.What is the follow-up task of Wageningen scientists?A.To keep track of more bees.B.To detect coronavirus aerosols.C.To help underdeveloped countries.D.To develop a new type of machine. 127.What is a suitable title for the text?A.Dogs: Well-trained PCR machinesB.Bees: Promising COVID-19 detectorsC.Holger Volk: A fighter against COVID-19D.Wageningen University: A leader in keeping bees答案:85.B 86.B 87.C 88.D【来源】河南省湘豫名校2023-2024学年高三上学期9月月考英语试题【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

Taylore is a kid who passes by to ride sometimes and help us with chores. Barely 15, she’s never short of advice, and one of her favorite pastimes is teasing me about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.Last su mmer four of us rode down the trail behind our woods: my wife Karen, Taylore, Taylore’s friend Kendall and me. I was riding my 13-year-old, Tawny.We were two miles from home when, for some unexplainable reason,I pushed Tawny into a gallop(飞驰). The other horses were anxious to catch up, and just like that, the race was on. Taylore brushed past my left leg and, seconds later, Kendall went by on my right. I realized Tawny was covering ground faster than I’d ever seen her. She strained every muscle in her b ody to catch up with the girls. It was like a truck winding over a mountain road without brakes (闸). Part of me felt perfectly in control, while another part screamed that I wasn’t.In half a mile I knew we’d be crossing the highway, so I prayed that the girls would be fine. I gave up calculating how long it might take before my horse would be tried enough to want to slow down.I was just about out of answers when I saw the girls slowing in front of me. Their horses were relaxed and comfortable, not even breathing hard. Taylore’s face glowe d. She gave me a high five. "Wow, you did well, "she said. "I knew you’d go fast when you were ready."No one in the group had even broken a sweat, except me. I was still nervous from the crazy pace. My heart pounded too, but not from exercise. Karen claims I was showing off for the girls that day, and maybe she’s right. But I think I had something to prove. Because despite my wrinkles (皱纹), glasses and gray hair, I was feeling young at heart. And, like a horse on a wa rm summer day, I’m always ready to kick up my heels.1. How did the race between the girls and the author begin?A. His horse’s gallop made the other horses want to catch up.B. He wanted to show off his riding skills for the girls.C.

During the race, ___________.A. the author’s horse outran the girl’s horses the whole timeB. the author was confident that Tawny was in controlC. the girls were so anxious to win that they sweated a lotD. the author’s good performance took Taylore by surprise3. When the race ended, the author’s heart pounded because ________.A. he was feeling thrilled and youngB. it was really tough exercise for himC. he was worried that the girls might be in dangerD. he felt quite embarrassed that he had lost the race4. The phrase "kick up my heels"at the end can be replaced by _________.A. devote myselfB. enjoy myselfC. accept my challengeD. take part in running competition【文章大意】文章描述作者和两个女孩骑马比赛,这让作者感到兴奋,也感到虽然自己上了年纪,但是有一颗年轻的心。

Want a glance of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient—no matter where he or she may be.Online doctors offering advice based on normal symptoms(症状)is the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis(远程诊断)will be based on real physiological data(生理数据)from the actual patients. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly practical to send a patient’s important signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural (countryside) care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster needs—especially after earthquakes. On the whole, the trend is towards providing the global access to medical data and experts’ opinions.But there is one problem. Bandwidth(宽带) is the limiting factor for sending complex medical pictures around the world, —CT photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users. Communication satellites may be able to deal with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars. But medicine is looking towards both the second generation Internet and the third generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, experts’ opinions and diagnosis are common.【文章大意】本文主要讲述人们将来可以在网上看病, 医生可以根据病人的生理数据做出远程诊断。

Our success,satisfaction and general happiness in life is not dependent on what happens to us but how we deal with it.You will probably know from personal experience what a difference your attitude can make when,for example,you’re returning faulty goods or making a complaint. An open, polite and friendly approach,expecting a satisfactory result,normally results in one as people tend to respond with a similar attitude. If,however,you present an argument with an angry,accusing tone,expecting trouble,there is little doubt that this is what you’ll get!Some people see the world through a filter of optimism and some through a filter of pessimism(悲观) which largely comes down to having a positive or negative(消极的) attitude. People who are suffering from a negative attitude primarily think that something can’t be done;they talk about problems, see all the difficulties,find fault with and criticize other people and focus on all the things they would like but haven’t got.On the contrary,people blessed with a positive attitude think that anything is possible.They look for ways to solve the problems, they see the good in everybody,and they are grateful for all the good things in their lives.Whether suffering from or blessed with your attitude,this is not something that is put on us from the outside.We are very much responsible for our own attitude.We all start out with a “clean” board but this can get muddied by our experiences in life.As children we are made fun of and even get bullied(欺侮) and rejected,start to experience doubt and lose our self­confidence.If this continues into adulthood,it can result in a bad attitude in later life.【解题导语】本文展现了积极的人生态度的重要性。

Recently I and other Red Cross volunteers met a group of victims from Hurricane Katrina. We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer "psychological first aid" and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude (感激) from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadn’t really done anything yet.I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend’s mother passed away unexpectedly. I had received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didn’t want to intrude (打扰) on this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, "Just go. Just be there."I did, and I will never regret it.Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS —related dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others’ presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better.1.Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author?A. He built shelters for them.B. He gave immediate first aid to them.C. He came to stay with them.D. He brought mental health professionals.2.What did the author do when his friend’s mother passed away?A. He hesitated over whether to go.B. He went to his friends’ at once.C. He knew what to do instantly.D. He decided not to disturb.3.What does the underlined word "solemn" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Heavy but warm.B. A little sad but cosy.C. Relaxing and delightful.D. Very serious and unhappy.4.What has the author learned from his experience?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. Being present can make a big difference.C. The family harmony is the happiest thing in life.D. Being a volunteer can make one’s life more significant【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else seems blurry. Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sighted. People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distances as people with two eyes.41. We should take good care of our eyes .A. only when we can see wellB. only when we cannot see perfectlyC. even if we can see wellD. only when we realize how important our eyes are42.When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清) , one is probably .A. near-sightedB. far-sightedC. astigmaticD. suffering from cataracts43. The underlined word blurry in the second paragraph probably means .A. obviousB. possibleC. clearD. unclear44. Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for .A. seeing at nightB. seeing objects far awayC. looking over a wide areaD. judging distances45. People who suffer from astigmatism have .A. one eye bigger than the otherB. eyes that are not exactly the right shapeC. a difficulty that can be corrected by an operationD. an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glassesBFour American college students learned last week that free music downloads can carry a hidden price tag --- US $ 12,000 to $ 17,500, to be exact.Major record companies accused the students of fueling music piracy(盗版) by running file-sharing networks on campus allowing hundreds of songs to be downloaded for free.Last Thursday, the four promised not to violate the companies’ copyrights. Although they did not admit any wrongdoing, they each agreed to pay thousands of dollars to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).“I don’t believe that I did anything wrong,〞 said Daniel Peng at Princeton University, one of the four. “I hope that for the sake of artists, the larger issues can soon be resolved.〞 None appears to have made any money off the file-sharing systems they operated, which were confined to their campus’s computer networks.The payments mark the first time record companies have recovered money from individuals in the US accused of piracy on file-sharing networks. This may be a sign of things to come, as the industry starts taking its battle against online piracy directly to users.Many record-company executives blame the long slump in CD sales on file-sharing networks, which let users copy songs from eac h other’s computers for free.Matt Oppenheim, senior vice president of business and legal affairs for the RIAA, said the settlements, although well below what the companies could have asked for, were “the right amount〞 given the situation.He also noted that since the four lawsuits were filed, at least 18 campus file-sharing networks have been taken down by their operators.46. What does “a hidden price tag〞 (Paragraph 1) mean?A. Record companies intentionally hide the high price of the music.B. It happens that the music price tag isn’t obvious.C. One has to pay for having downloaded music freely at last.D. One has to pay for the music in the future even if it’s allowed to be downloadedfreely now.47. Which of the following is true?A. The four students planned to violate the company’s copyright.B. They realized they had done a wrong thing.C. They refused to pay money to RIAA.D. They didn’t make any money on file-sharing networks.48. What’s the probable meaning of “slump〞 (Paragraph 6)?A. Decline.B. Increase.C. Keeping the same.D. Jump.49. What can we conclude from paragraph 6?A. Slump in CD sales is caused by the fact that people can copy songs free of chargeon file-sharing networks.B. Many record-company executives should bear the blame for long slump in CD sales.C. People have no desire to buy any CD.D. Nowadays CDs are not as popular as before.50. What’s the main idea of the whole passage?A. The students should be responsible for their behavior.B. It’s too late for record companies to protect their rights.C. Record companies have taken action to protect their copyrights by accusingindividuals of piracy on file-sharing networks.D. Some record companies wanted to earn money by accusing people of pirating music.CThe case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go to college, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become “better〞people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attend ing, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis, college students interfere with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out --- often encouraged by college administrators.Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves --- they are spoiled and they are expectin g too much. But that’s condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn’t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can’t absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year olds, either.Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those survey and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experie nces. Perhaps college doesn’t make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, and quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy(异端) to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good more has to be better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.51. According to the passage, the author believes that _________.A.people used to question the value of college educationB.people used to have full confidence in higher educationC.all high school graduates went to collegeD.very few high school graduates chose to go to college52. In the 2nd paragraph, “those who don’t fit the pattern〞 refers to _________.A.high school graduates who aren’t suitable for college educationB.college graduates who are selling shoes and driving taxisC.college students who aren’t any better for their higher educationD.high school graduates who failed to be admitted to college53. The drop-out rate of college students seems to go up because __________.A.young people are disappointed with the conventional way of teaching at collegeB.many young people are required to join the armyC.young people have little motivation in pursuing a higher educationD.young people don’t like the intense competition for admission to graduateschool54. According to the passage the problem of college education partly arises from thefact that __________.A.society cannot provide enough jobs for properly trained college studentsB.high school graduates do not fit the pattern of college educationC.too many students have to earn their own livingD.college administrators encourage students to drop out55. In this passage the author argues that __________.A.more and more evidence shows college education may not be the best thing forall high school graduatesB.college education is not enough if one wants to be successfulC.college education benefits only the intelligent, ambitious and quick-learningpeopleD.intelligent people may learn quicker if they don’t go to college参考答案完形填空21-30: BDCBA DBACD语法填空31.like 32. but 33. an 34. have been burning 35.that / which36. produced 37. as 38. easily 39. that 40. piling阅读理解题号41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55答案 C A D D B C D A A C B C C A A。

The story of Sir Nicholas Winton is the one that you would imagine could only happen on the silver screen. Sir Nicholas Winton was a British man who went to heroic efforts, potentially putting himself at risk, during World War II. Sir Winton was responsible for ensuring the safety of six hundred and sixty-nine Jewish children by aiding their escape from countries occupied by Nazis. Finally, the Jewish children were brought to England where he worked to make sure families in his native country would help the kids by taking them into their homes.Recently, this unbelievable story has again been making the rounds on the Internet, particularly after a rerun of the BBC show called “That’s Life”, which featured Sir Winton. People around the world were moved at the details of the story, with saying it to be the best story they’ve ever seen.Sir Winton kept his entire plan completely secret, even his wife had no idea about his planning until fifty years later. After the war, years passed and many people remained in the dark about Sir Winton’s extraordinary achievement. Some fifty years later, his wife Greta was searching in their house and discovered a Winton’s notebook which documented the names of all the children. She worked with BBC and they produced a TV episode (插曲) of their program “That’s Life” that served as an honor for Sir Winton’s work.In 2003, Sir Winton was knighted by the Queen of England for his work. He also was even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. He also had a small planet named after him by Czech astronomers. Sir Winton died peacefully in his sleep at the old age of one hundred and six, in 2015. Leaders around the world paid tribute (悼念). Israel’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, Daniel Taub, said, “He was a hero of our time, having saved 669 Jewish children from Nazis. His story, as a point of light in a period of darkness, will forever be remembered.”1.What happened to the 669 Jewish children?A. They were killed by Nazis.B. They returned to their own homes.C. They fled to their native countries.D. They were raised by English families.2.What made Winton’s story spread widely?A. People’s chatting online.B. The program “That’s Life”.C. His wife’s promotion.D. Praises from some leaders.3.Which of the following can replace the underlined expression “remained in the dark’, in Paragraph 3?A. felt doubtfulB. remained movedC. knew nothingD. criticized something4.What do we know about Winton?A. He was born in 1909.B. Nazis tried to arrest him.C. He named a small planet.D. Many children paid tribute to him.【文章大意】文章主要讲述Sir Nicholas Winton在纳粹期间帮助669个犹太孩子逃到英国的故事。

program.But her future hasn’t always looked so bright.While her mother,Bekelech,sacrificedimmensely for Genzeb,she would not have been able to continue sending her to school.When her husband died,Bekelech was the sole provider,for their five children.In order for them to survive,she began the daily routine of walking approximately 8-10 miles a day collecting sticks to sell near her 8′×10′

years.Since Ethiopian schools let out early,Genzeb walks to the facility right after lunch.Because of her high ability,she even helps teach the younger children there,building confidence and locking in important foundational academic skills.There’s also other meaningful opportunities Genzeb experiences which allow her eyes to be opened to the different opportunities that are available to her if she completes her studies.Field trips are one of her most favorite activities of all.She especially loved the one to Addis Ababa University.She knows it goes beyond fun trips,though.“I am happy because I get extra help for school from Bright Future.”Genzeb shares.At so many levels,her involvement with Bright Future allows her to receive a better education,which she values.For one day she

production without necessarily clearing more land to grow additional crops.American researchers say that can happen with greater use of an agricultural system called perenniation.It mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants—those that return year after year.Soil scientist John Reganold says,“One of the major problems is that the soils are fairly poor in most of the regions.So how do you grow food on poor soils?There have to be food production systems that can build the soil and impro ve the yield.”Mr Reganold says poor soil may have resulted from years of weathering that washed away many nutrients.He says some farmer s may have done more harm than good.“They have been actually using farming practices where they’re not putting in organic matter.They’re not putting in fertilizers.They can’t afford those things.And it just runs the soil down.So they’re worsening the situation.”The scientist says the word perenniation defines three systems that are already used in Africa.The oldest of the three is called evergreen agriculture.This is where farmers plant trees with their crops.Farmers in Africa have been doing this for sixty years,but it seems to be growing in popularity.The method is gaining widespread use in countries such as Niger,Burkina Faso,Malawi and Zambia.The trees are planted among maize (玉米),millet or sorghum crops.They not only add nitrogen (氮) to the soil through their roots,but also through their leaves when they fall off and break down.At other times of the year,the trees can pr otect plants from strong sunlight.John Reganold says he knows of one woman who has had great success with perenniation.“She’s a grandmother in her fifties.Her name is Rhoda Mang’yana and she started using this system about twenty years ago.And her yields initially were about a ton of maize.Now with a good year she gets four tons per hectare,four times what she was getting.”6.The purpose of the passage is to________.A.tell people how to increase productionB.introduce an agricultural system in AfricaC.introduce the oldest farming method in AfricaD.tell us how to prevent soil being poor7.What does the underlined word “weathering” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A.Being exposed to wind and rain.B.Growing different crops.C.Being polluted severely.D.Being ploughed improperly.8.Accordin g to the passage,which of the following statements is WRONG?A.Perenniation mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants.B.Poor soil is the main problem in increasing food production.C.Farmers may be more to blame for the present situation.D.American researchers first invented perenniation.9.Evergreen agriculture is popular with the farmers mainly because it________.A.can build the soil and improve the yieldB.can provide more wood as wellC.is the easiest method to carry outD.is used for a long time10.Why does John Reganold mention Rhoda Mang’yana?A.To show the method is very popular in Africa.B.Because she is an expert at farming production.C.To prove the farming method is effective.D.Because she produced more grains than anyone else in the country.Ⅲ.书面表达假定你是来自美国的大一学生John,主修中国文学。

Unit 4 Sharing李仕才***阅读理解。

When people find out that I am a journalist, they often ask me: What do you think about the future of newspapers?I tell them that I think the future of communications is moving online. People expect me to be fearful for the future of print. After all, in some people’s minds I wouldn’t be able to build a career in journalism if it all moves online. However, strangely enough, I’m actually comforted by the fact that online journalism is becoming usual. I am a blogger who has always been able to find a home for my writing online.Since I began writing blogs, I have become aware of how many people you can reach with online writing. Compare this to the newspapers’ circulation base, and you will have a strong reason for online journalism.In her successful blog post titled The job I have spent the last year learning is not the one I will have, author Jenny Surane states, “Print is an expensive product to love. And general managers, publishers and editors must now figure out a profitable way to get their news into readers’heads.”She goes on to state that peop le don’t feel like picking up a newspaper now and would rather scroll(滚屏) through their Twitter feed, and get news from many different sources.If print is dying, then a new form of communicating information is being born. The need for information has not died. If anything, it has increased. What has died, rather, is the way in which information is presented.Now more than ever, in this age of information, there is a desire for stories on the same topic from different points of view. The printing industry can keep pace with the need of providing a variety of sources, if it chooses to.Is the future of print grim? Maybe. But is the future of journalism of communicating information to people grim as well? Definitely not.【解题导语】作者是一名记者。
