一部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)第一节:阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
AWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent. Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”1. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.A. great and important; commonB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingD. hopeful and helpful; careless2. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use3. It is better for parents ________.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.B. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.C. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.BIt was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor.On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said, "Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life." At my inquiry, he answered, "Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave."As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed.When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher.It obviously isn't the money.Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change.He was working at Nintendo Corporation.His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a decade.With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired.I thanked him, but declined his kind offer.A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework.She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class — not about math, but about life — would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away.As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher.Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication (奉献) and a deeper sense of satisfaction — I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.5.Hearing his colleague's description of graduation for the first time, the author .A.quite agreed with his colleagueB.thought it very funnyC.was very puzzledD.was very sad.6.The computer science student called up the author because he .A.wanted to inform the author of his present jobB.tried to persuade the authorto work with himC.wanted the author to share his joy and satisfactionD.thought the author wasn'tfit to be a teacher7.The underlined part blue hats and gowns refers to .A.university colleaguesB.life memoriesC.graduates' clothesD.decorations in thehall8.The author wrote this passage to .A.express his devotion to being a teacherpare two different graduationceremoniesC.talk about the meaning of graduationD.give advice on how to be a good teacherCIf you want to get something done, you might want to put your mobile phone back in your pocket. Researchers have found that the mere presence of a phone is distracting(分心) — even if it is not your own. And the devices(设备) are likely to distract you, even if they are not ringing or “pinging” with text messages. People asked to carry out electronic tests of their attention spans (持续时间) were found to perform worse when a mobile phone was present than other people performing in the presence of a paper notepad.Scientists from Hokkaido University in Japan said that their findings show that it is harder to concentrate when one of the electronic devices is present. The effect was most marked on people who are not regular users of phones. In tests on 40 undergraduates, Associate Professor Junichiro Kawahara and a colleague dividedthe subjects into two groups — one asked to carry out tests in the presence of an Apple iPhone next to a computer monitor, and the other in the presence of a notebook.The test involved asking the participant to search for a particular character among a mess of other characters on the screen. Researchers measured the time it took to find the target. The results of the experiment found that those with the mobile phone took longer to find the character “indicating tha t participants were automatically distracted by the presence of the phone”. The researchers suggest that people are “drawn to the presence of a mobile phone” although there are individual differences in how one attempts to ignore it. In conclusion, Professor Kawahara said, “The mere presence of a mobile phone was a distraction among infrequent internet users.”Another finding is that listening to one half of a mobile phone conversation also distracts people, and other studies have found that placing a mobile phone in view has a negative impact on the quality of face-to-face communications. Holdinga mobile phone makes you less likely to get a fair hearing from others.9. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. A mobile phone won’t distract people unless it’s ringing.B. People find it hard to concentrate if their phones are present.C. Text messages distract people even if phones are power off.D. A paper notepad can help people record much information.10. Who will be affected most according to the findings?A. People irregularly using phones.B. People regularly using phones.C. People usually using notepads.D. People always using computers.11. In a face-to-face communication, what is the effect of putting a mobile phone in sight?A. It makes listeners feel much awkward.B. It causes other people to lose respect for you.C. It reduces people’s attention to listening to others.D. It makes the air of the conversation more pleasant.12. What can we learn from the text?A. People perform worse with a mobile phone at hand.B. Mobile phones do a lot of damage to people’s health.C. People working with mobile phones will do very well.D. Phones should be banned in all schools and universities.DEarth’s next superpowerThe following count ries have been sitting on hidden talents.And now they’re about to fly.NIGERIA (尼日利亚)Nigeria says it pumps out as much oil as the other two oil-producing countries, Kuwait and Iraq.All this oil is cycling cash into the Nigerian economy and creating extremely rich businessmen.Analysts say that if Nigeria can improve its schools and technology, it could balloon into the world’s 13th largest economy by 2050, right between Turkey and Italy.If that reason is not enough for optimism, Nigeria’s president also has the sunniest name of any world leader: Goodluck Jonathan.VIETNAMAs agriculture has given way to industry, unemployment in Vietnam has dropped.What’s Vietnam’s trick? It’s ready to work.Other countries’ laborers aren’t as cheap as they used to be, which makes Vietnam a relative bargain for companies that need new factories abroad.However, the country has almost no railroads, its highways are in poor condition, and its largest city has just one airport, which was built before the Vietnam War.So what’s the use of producing export-ready goods if there’s no convenient way to ship them? The good thing is, however, officials are widening highways, building a new airport and so on.CHILE (智利)Pipes, computers, motors, and your microwave all have one thing in common: They’re made with copper (铜).Copper makes the world go round.And lucky for Chile, it’s got about a third of the planet’s copper supply.It just needs a way to dig。

ATayka Hotel de SalWhere: Tahua, BoliviaHow much: About $ 95 a nightWhy it's cool: You've stayed at hotels made of brick or wood, but salt? That's something few can claim. Tayka Hotel de Sal i s made totally of salt-including the beds (though you'll sleep on regular mattresses and blankets). The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni, a prehisto ric dried-up lake which is the world's biggest salt flat. Builders use the salt from the 4,633-square-mile flat to make the bricks, and glue them together with a pas te (糊) of wet salt that hardens when it dries.When rain starts to dissolve the hotel, the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.Green Magic Nature ResortWhere: Vythiri, IndiaHow much: About $ 240 a nightWhy it's cool: Taking a pulley(滑轮)-operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is just the start of yo ur adventure. As you look out of your open window-there is no glass! -you watch monkeys and birds in the rain forest canopy(罩篷). Later you might test your fear of heights by crossing the h andmade rope bridge to the main part of the hotel, or just sit o n your bamboo bed and read. You don't even have to come d own for breakfast-the hotel will send it up on the pulley-drawn “elevator”.Dog Bark Park Inn B&BWhere: Cottonwood, IdahoHow much: $ 92 a nightWhy it's cool: This doghouse isn't just for the family pet. Swee t Willy is a 30-foot-tall dog with guest rooms in his belly. Climb the wooden stairs beside his hind leg to enter the door in his side. You can rela x in the main bedroom, go up a few steps of the loft(阁楼) in Willy's head, or hang out inside his nose. Although you have a full private bathroom in your quarters, there is also a to ilet in the 12-foot-tall fire hydrant(消防栓) outside.Gamirasu Cave HotelWhere: Ayvali, TurkeyHow much: Between $ 130 and $ 450 a nightWhy it's cool: This is caveman cool! Experience what it was lik e 5,000 years ago, when people lived in these mountain cave s formed by volcanic ash. But your stay will be much more mo dern. Bathrooms and electricity provide what you expect from a modern hotel, and the white volcanic ash, called tufa, keeps the rooms cool in summer. (Don't worry-there is heat in winter. )1.

Gamirasu Cave Hotel.BChicago is considering firm measures to prevent the Asian ca rp,a giant fish native to the Far East,from coming into North America’s Great Lakes in large numbe rs.Such a move could cost up to$18bn,a heavy economic burden to the city.This species,more than a metre in length,was originally introduced to southern US states three decades ago to control weeds in sewage(污水)treatment plants.But they escaped into the Mississippi Ri ver and increased in number quickly,making their way north towards the Great Lakes and threateni ng the native fish species along the way.“Dozens of them will often leap out of the water as boats appr oach.’’Michael Beecham,a local environmental expert,described how frightening the scene was.“I’ve gone down th e river and seen these fish jump up and hit me in the face.It i s a big problem for our native species.” he said.A meeting has been organized to find a technological solution to the carp problem,one of which involves blocking parts of Chicago’s canal syste m.Listening at the meeting was John Goss,who was worried about the effect that having barriers in the c anal system would have on industry.“It would certainly incre ase the cost of transportation,”he told.“It is currently very c heap and efficient to bring materials and finished goods down the Chicago ship canal.’’Another cheaper option is to eat the fish out of existence.Dir k Fucik is selling carp burger(鲤鱼汉堡包) at his fish shop not far from downtown Chicago.He think s the carps are a great resource.“To catch it and throw it aw ay is a waste,”he says.“Eating them helps solve the proble m and also provides jobs.”But the idea has not yet caught o n.So far,he is the only person in Chicago selling carp burgers. 4.From the passage we can see the Asian carp___________ ________.A.is very adaptable to the new environmentB.is originally used to control weeds in the Great Lakes C.is becoming a new food in restaurantsD.becomes even more fierce than before5.From John Goss’s point of view,the building of barriers __________________.A.can force the Asian carp out of the Great LakesB.may lead to the increasing cost of industrial products C.will help the canal system work more efficientlyD.will bring high profits to the related companies6.What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passa ge?A.The Americans have included the Asian carp in their food list.B.Dirk Fucik is a pioneer in selling carp burgers in Chicago .C.Catching Asian carps has created many jobs in America .D.Throwing away the caught fish is a waste of the resources .7.What’s the best title of the passage?A.The Great Lakes,new home for Asian CarpsB.The Asian carp escapes from the Great Lakes C.Possible ways to handle non-native speciesD.Chicago goes to war with Asian carpsCWith all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense o f humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps (处于沮丧中), as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my h eart.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-workers, neighbors, close friends, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't k now the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always f ound humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest jo b anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any si tuation, but also is common courtesy(礼貌)to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that don't have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling o n the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the jok e that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just s it there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keeping your stress levels under c ontrol. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of ps ychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us fro m going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present worl d. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to bypass t he sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe o ur best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and ha ve some fun laughing together.8. According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that _ ___________.A. it makes people more confidentB. it can pick up people’ s spiritsC. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the worldD. it can help people get on well with others9. The author answers the question in the second paragraph with ___________.A. facts and descriptionsB. evidence and argumentC. examples and conclusionD. stories and pe rsuasion10. The phrase "busting a gut" in the third paragraph can be r eplaced by __________.A. explaining carefullyB. speaking loudC. keeping silentD. laughing hard11. In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to _____ _____.A. talk about his own understanding of humorB. encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeC. introduce a practical way to get through daily lifeD. convince people of the power of being optimistic about lifeDAs a group of young African immigrants struggle to adapt to lif e in the United States, an after-school drama program at White Oak Middle School aims to m ake their lives easier by first making them a little harder. Project X is a program that uses drama, dance, poetry and ot her creative outlets to help students discuss the tough and so metimes painful problems they face as pre-teen immigrants with language barriers. A final unveiling of th eir creation will be performed for friends and family at the end of the year at Imagination Stage.Wanjiru Kamau, coordinator of White Oak’s African Club said it’s important to give troubles to group members to help them f ind their place at the school. “It comforts those who are unco mfortable, and it discomforts those who are comfortable,”Kam au said of Project X.Kamau teamed up with Imagination Stage after she noticed th at many African students seemed uncomfortable talking about problems, such as being laughed at by their fellow students a bout how they look and talk. When most of the kids join the cl ub, they speak little or no English, Kamau said. Each week, the club typically draws five to ten students who are originally fr om Africa for discussion sessions and the Project X program.“We are going to express ourselves through our words and ou r actions, and that’s powerful,” said teaching artist Meg Green as she introduced fill-in-the-blank poems the students wrote about their identities.One student, Frank Ketchouang, 13, wrote, “I am from the wo rld; I am love,” which drew oohs and aahs from the group. Ket chouang has been in the United States for less than a year, s aid Program Coordinator Chad Dike. When Ketchouang starte d attending Project X, he had been in the United States for tw o months and spoke no English. Now he’s one of the group’s most outgoing members and helps translate instructions from English to Creole for the group’s newest member, who is from Haiti.Many people will give up when there’s a language barrier, “bu t these students prove them wrong” Kamau said. “You do hav e something to give. You are important. When TV, media, etc. are bringing them down, this program is bringing them up.”12. Project X is intended for helping the young African immigr ants to_________.A. get over language barriersB. enrich after-school lifeC. overcome tough problemsD. become more creative13.

2019届高三英语9月月考试题
2019届高三英语9月月考试题一阅读理解(每小题3分,共60分)A.Suppose you’re in a rush¸ felling tired¸not paying attention to y our screen¸and you send an email that could get you in troubl e.Realisation will probably set in seconds after you’ve clicked “s end”. You freeze in horrors and burn with shame.What to do? Here are four common email accidents¸ and how to recover.Clicking “send” too soonDon’t waste your time trying to find out if the receivers has rea d it yet. Write another email as swiftly as you can and send i t with a brief explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored.Writing the wrong nameThe sooner you notice¸the better. Respond quickly and briefl y¸apologizing for your mistake. Keep the tone measured: do n’t handle it too lightly¸as people can be offened¸ especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture(i. e. incorrect ordering of Chinese names).Clicking “reply all” unintentionallyYou accidentally reveal(透露)to entire company what menu choices you would prefer at t he staff Christmas dinner¸ or what holiday you’d like to take.I n this instance¸ the best solution is to send a quick¸ light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness.But it can qui ckly rise to something worse¸ when everyone starts hitting “re ply all” to join in a long and unpleasant conversation. In this i nstance¸ step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to c alm down.Sending an offensive message to its subjectThe most awkward email mistake is usually committed in ang er. You write an unkind message about someone¸ intending to send it to a friend¸ but accidentally send it to the person yo u’re discussing. In that case¸ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly—see it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you may ha ve with this person.1. After realising an email accident¸you are likely to feel ____ ___.A. curious B. tired C. awful D. funny2. If you have written the wrong name in an email¸it is best t o ________.A. apologise in a serious manner B. tell the receiver to i gnore the errorC. learn to write the name correctly D. send a short notic e to everyone3. What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your “reply all” email?A. Try offering other choices.B. Avoid further involvement .C. Meet other staff members.D. Make a light-hearted apology.4. How should you deal with the problem caused by an offen sive email?A. By promising not to offend the receiver again.B. By seeking support from the receiver’s friends.C. By asking the receiver to control his anger.D. By talking to the receiver face to face.5. What is the passage mainly about?A. Defining email errors. B. Reducing email mistakes.C. Handling email accidents. D. Improving email writing .BGetting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids. According to a new survey(调查) by the National Sleep Foundation¸ 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights¸ even though t hey have to get up early. Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7- to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day¸ and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school.How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age. Babi es need a lot of rest: most of them sleep about 18 hours a day ! Adults need about eight hours. For most school-age children¸ ten hours is ideal(理想的). But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found th at 35% of 10- to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours. And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV.“More children are going to bed with TVs on¸and there are mo re opportunities(机会) to stay awake¸with more homework¸the Internet and the phone¸” says Dr. Mary Carskadon¸ a sleep researcher at Bro wn University Medical School. She says these activities at b edtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to ca lm down and sleep. 0ther experts say part of the problem is chemical. Changing levels of body chemicals called hormon es not only make teenagers’ bodies develop adult characterist ics¸but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm.Because sleepiness is such a problem for te enagers¸some sc hool districts have decided to start high school classes later th an they used to. Three years ago¸ schools in Edina¸ Minnes ota¸ changed the start time from 7:25 am to 8:30 am. Stude nts¸parents and teachers are pleased with the results.6. What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on? A. American kids’ sleeping habits. B.Teenagers’ sle ep-related diseases.C. Activities to prevent sleeplessness. D. Learning pro blems and lack of sleep.7. How many hours of sleep do 11-year-olds need every day?A. 7 hours. B. 8 hours. C. 10 hours. D.18 hours.8. Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskado n?A. They are affected by certain body chemicals. B. They tend to do things that excite them.C. They follow their parents’ examples. D. They don’t need to go to school early.CPassenger pigeons(旅鸽) once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centurie s described flocks(群) so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons – a n umber equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird i n the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had a lready become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinn ati.Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been t heir undoing. Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercia l hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited u ntil pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over the m, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to larg e cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood fore sts where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by A m ericans’ need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where c old temperatures and spring storms contributed to their declin e. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again .In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killi ng of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had b een seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pi geon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, 0 hio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human c are. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.9. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons _ ______.A. were the biggest bird in the world B. lived mainly in the south of AmericaC. did great harm to the natural environmentD. were the largest bird population in the US10. The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pig eons’ ______.A. escape B. ruin C. liberation D. evolution11. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger p igeons?A. To seek pleasure.B. To save other birds.C. To make money.D. To protect crops.12. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan? A. It was ignored by the public.B. It was de clared too late.C. It was unfair.D. It was stric t.DHollywood’s theory that machines with evil(邪恶) minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly. The re al problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence(A I) may become extremely good at achieving something other t han what we really want. In 1960 a well-known mathematician Norbert Wiener¸ who founded the fieldof cybernetics(控制论)¸ put it this way:“If we use¸to achieve our purposes¸a mecha nical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interf ere(干预)¸we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire.”A machine with a specific purpose has another quality¸ one th at we usually associate with living things: a wish to preserve its own existence. For the machine¸ this quality is not in-born¸ nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achie ve its original purpose if it is dead. So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee¸ it will have a stro ng desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task. If we a re not careful¸then¸ we could face a kind of global chess matc h against very determined¸ super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our own¸ with the real world as the che ssboard.The possibility of entering into and losing such a match shoul d concentrate the minds of computer scientists. Some resea rchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of fir ewall¸ using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world.Unfortunately¸ that plan se ems unlikely to work: we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans¸ let alone super intelligent m achines.Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy. There are probably deca des in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machine s. But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand¸as it has been by some AI researchers. Some argue that human s and machines can coexist as long as they work in teams—yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of hu mans. 0thers say we can just “switch them off” as if super int elligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility. St ill others think that super intelligent AI will never happen. 0n September 11¸1933¸famous physicist Ernest Rutherford state d¸ with confidence¸“Anyone who expects a source of power i n the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine.”However¸ on September 12¸1933¸physicist Leo Szilard invent ed the neutron-induced(中子诱导) nuclear chain reaction.13. Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence ma y .A. run out of human controlB. satisfy human’s real desires C. command armies of killer robots D. work faster than amathematician14. Machines with specific purposes are associated with livi ng things partly because they might be able to .A. prevent themselves from being destroyedB. achieve their original goals independentlyC. do anything successfully with given ordersD. beat humans in international chess matches15. What does the author think of the safety problem of sup er intelligent machines?A. It will disappear with the development of AI.B. It will get worse with human interference.C. It will be solved but with difficulty. D. It will stay for a d ecade.E 七选五Money MattersParents should help their children understand money. 16 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things,candy or toys,for example.1. The basic function of moneyBegin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or-services. It is important to show your child how money is tra ded for the things he wants to have.If he wants to have a toy,give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashie r (收银员). 17 When your child grows a bit older and understand s the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.2. Money lessonsApproach money lessons with openness and honesty. 18 If you must say no to a child's request to spend money,explain,"You have enough toy trucks for now. " 0r,if the request is for many different things,say,"You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy. " 3. 19Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product — a name-brand butter and a generic (无商标产品),for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save m oney. 20 If he chooses the cheaper brand,allow him to make another purchase with the money saved.Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leav es less money for other purchases.A. Wise decisionsB. The value of moneyC. Permit the child to choose between them.D. Tell your child why he can — or cannot — have certain th ings.E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most import ant to you.F. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leav e the toy store.G. The best time to teach a child anything about money is w hen he shows an interest.二完形填空(每小题2分,共40分)If you want to learn a new language¸the very first thing to thin k about is why.

It seemed as if I didn’t blend in (融入)with my classmates, and I found myself struggling academically. I searched to find some help in the college, but wasn’t able to find much.My experience made me realize that there was a need for a group who could help the non-traditional students become successful and be better used to college life. I worked to help ESU (educational service unit) create such a group. We have to deal with study, family and our jobs at the same time. I wanted to provide resources to help make the change easier and less scary than my own experience was.The group I set up has now grown to over seventy members who help old students and support one another. We’re currently working on a program to provide free babysitting for any college student that might need childcare. This would make things like studying in the library during the final weeks much easier.Helping to found this student organization makes me feel wonderful inside. I would love to know that by forming this group, it has helped so many non-traditional students on their college journey. Success can be measured in many different ways. I measure my success by helping others and giving back when I can. My grandmother often told me the world would be a better place if we cared about and helped each other. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care —show them your care.25. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?A. T o complain about the difficulties in college.B.

Through the group, the author _____________.A. feels successfulB. realizes her dreamC. understands her grandmother’s wordsD. is happy to know she is cared aboutCCaptain Henry, a 98-year-old American retired fisherman, has become a first-time author, having written and published his autobiography in a Fisherman’s Language after learning to read at the age of 91.Mr. Henry spent most of his life without even his closest family members knowing he was illiterate (不识字的). Forced to quit school in the third grade to takeodd jobs, he kept the secret close to his chest, only telling his late wife. Henry’s granddaughter, Marlisa, told reporters how he used tricks, like waiting for others to order at restaurants first, to avoid the issue.A family dispute in his nineties, she said, aroused his desire for education. “He signed a document he could not read about where he was going to live,”Marlisa said. Starting with his name, he eventually moved on to the ABC’s and children’s books. He put them down since his wife fell ill. After the tragic loss of his wife, he went back to reading and began to log his life. He wrote about his family’s voyage from Portugal to the US, how he went on to captain a boat, and his many journeys at sea.His life stories have become so popular that nearly 800 copies were sold in the first two weeks after the book’s release. One thousand more have been printed as requests for the book flood in as far as Germany. And now even Hollywood producers have approached Mr. Henry about buying the rights to h is life stories for a big screen adaptation.The family also now has a book agent and a deal in the works to publish a second edition. Meanwhile, the family says they are reconnecting and closer than ever as a result of Henry’s late-life efforts. “Everyone has a story, and it teaches that when you’re down, never give up.”Marlisa said.28.When did Henry begin writing his life story?A. After his wife passed away.B. Before his wife passed away.C. When he was at the age of 91.D. After he retired from work.29.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Henry didn’t love his wife.B. A Hollywood producer wishes to make a movie out of Henry’s book.C. Henry began his reading with some famous novels.D. Henry’s book was well-received by Americans and he made a lot of money. 30.How did Henry’s family benefit from the 2nd edition?A. The family got known in the US.B. His family moved from Portugal to the US.C. The family ties were rebuilt and strengthened.D. His family spread abroad.31.What message can Henry’s story give us?A. Writing can make people rich.B. A person should write his story.C. One is never too old to learn.D. Everything comes to him who waits.DAs more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000–7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).In an effort to pre vent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations –UNESCO and National Geographic among them –have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials –including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes –which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now, through the two organizations that he has founded –the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project –Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.32. Many scholars are making efforts to _______.A. promote global languagesB. rescue disappearing languagesC. search for language communitiesD. set up language research organizations33. What does “that tradition”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Having full records of the languages.B. Writing books on language teaching.C. Telling stories about language users.D. Living with the native speakers.34. What is Turin’s book based on?A. The cultural studies in India.B. The documents available at Yale.C. His language research in Bhutan.D. His personal experience in Nepal.35. Which of the following best describes Turin’s work?A. Write, sell and donate.B. Record, repair and reward.C. Collect, protect and reconnect.D. Design, experiment and report.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。

Most of us tend to be attracted by stories that reach us on multiple levels, including sadness. There are plenty of books that make you cry (and sometimes laugh) and that you can really sink your teeth into. Here are four of them.1. The Kite RunnerThis realistic and moving description of life in Afghanistan accounts for the people who were badly affected by the Taliban. You’ll cry as you get to know the familial relationships and cruelty involved, but you’ll also get a sense of hope as you quickly read through this appealing novel.2. The Book ThiefLet’s put it this way: Death itself is the narrator. The story is about a young girl named Liesel who has to live with foster parents during World War II. On the way to her new home, her brother dies, setting the gloomy tone for the story. There is hope, however, when Liesel discovers her love for reading and makes a relationship with a young Jewish man she helps hide from the Nazis.3. The Fault in Our StarsThis is probably the most likely book on the list to make you cry, as it records the experiences of teens who are dying from cancer and living their last days in love. Their lifestyle is tragic and disturbing at the same time, as we watch their health worsen. The real tragedy is the love story between the main characters, who know that their romance is fruitless.4. A Child Called “It”Easily one of the saddest stories of abuse in recent decades, A Child Called It is based on the true story of Dave Pelzer, a boy from California who suffered at the hands of his cruel family. The tears will come from both sadness and the inspiration tied to Dave’s fight for survival in an environment where he is believed worthless.1.What do the four books have in common?A.They are all about cruel wars.B.They all probably make you cry.C.They are all about suffering children.D.They are all adapted from true stories.2.Which book is about a young victim whose family treated him cruelly?A.The Kite RunnerB.A Child Called “It”C.The Fault in Our StarsD.The Book Thief3.The passage is intended to __________.A.advise us to buy some booksB.inspire us to read moreC.explain why we love readingD.introduce some moving booksBA young woman sits alone in a café sipping tea and reading a book. She pauses briefly to write in a nearby notepad before showing her words to a passing café waiter: "Where are the toilets please?"This is a familiar scene in Tokyo’s so-called "silent cafés", where customers are not allowed to speak, and only communicate by writing in notepads.The concept rises by a desire to be alone among young Japanese, a situation brought by economic uncertainty, a shift in traditional family support structures and the growing social isolation. The phenomenon is not limited to coffee shops but covers everything from silent discos, where participants dance alone wearing wireless headphones connected to the DJ, to products such as small desk tents designed for conversation-free privacy in the office. One Kyoto company even offers single women the opportunity to have a "one woman wedding"—a full bridal affair, complete with white dress and ceremony, and the only thing missing is the groom. The trend has its own media expression-“botchi-zoku”, referring to individuals who consciously choose to do things completely on their own.One recent weekday afternoon, Chihiro Higashikokubaru, a 23-year-old nurse, travelled 90 minutes from her home, to Tokyo on her day off in order to enjoy some solo time. Speaking quietly at the entrance of the cafe, Miss Higashikokubaru said: “I heard about this place via Twitter and I like the idea of coming here. I work as a nurse and it's always very busy. There are very few quiet places in Tokyo, and it's a big busy city. I just want to come and sit somewhere quietly on my own. I’m going to drink a cup o f tea and maybe do some drawings. I like the idea of a quiet, calm atmosphere.”The desire to be isolated is not a new concept in Japan, home to an estimated 3.6 million "hikikomori" - a more extreme example of social recluses(隐士) who withdraw completely from society.4.What is special about the “silent cafes”?A.It provides various tea and books.B.It has attracted many popular young people.C.It offers service by writing not by speakingD.People are not allowed to communicate.5.Which of the following statement can’t account for the idea of being alone in Japan?A.Unstable economic situationB.A change in traditional family support patternC.The rising demand for privacyD.The increasing social isolation6.What do we know about Higashikokubaru?A.She d oesn’t like to be a nurse.B.She doesn’t like the life in big cities.C.She travelled to Tokyo on her work days.D.She enjoys her solo time in a quiet place.7.What is the best title of the passage?A.Lonely JapaneseB.One woman weddingC.Social recluses in JapanD.Silent cafesCWe all have our own idea of what the perfect smile should look like,whether we show a mouthful of whites or keep our lips closed and turned up at the corners.When we think of the perfect smile,we often picture someone grinning,with all of our teeth showing,but based on new findings,less is actually more.Nathaniel He1wig and his colleagues at the University of Minnesota discovered that a successful,genuine smile actually rests less on showing teeth and more on facial balance and symmetry(对称).For the study,researchers looked at 3D computer-animated facial models of more than 800 study participants.The computer-animated facial models went through a series of facial transformations,with researchers changing the mouth angle,amount of teeth shown,the degree of the smile.Participants were then asked to rate the models’smiles based on effectiveness,genuineness and pleasantness.The results of the study found that the most successful smile had a perfect balance of teeth,an ideal mouth angle,and a smile length that extended to what was call ed the“sweet spot”.Smiles that showed a quick sync(同步)of the left and right side of the face during smiling were also more highly related.Smiling makes up a good part of our nonverbal(非语言的)communication,making it important to have a grin that will draw people to you and also seem sincere.It’s also worth noting that perfect smile could help improve your health too.8.What is the possible meaning of the underlined word“grinning”in th e first paragraph?A.Talking softly.B.Smiling widely.C.Chatting cheerfully.D.Eating healthily.9.Which aspect should be considered when rating the smiles in the study?A.How pleasant it makes people feel.B.Whether it improves health.C.How successful smiling people are.D.Whether it lasts long enough.10.What makes the perfect smile based on the new study?A.White teeth.B.Smile length.C.Facial balance.D.Lip corners.11.Where does this text probably come from?A.A book review.B.A science report.C.A history textbook.D.A travelling guide.DBooks allow us a glance into the mind of the authors,but what if we could make a direct connection instead? What if we could ask specific questions about their experiences,receive instant answers,and hear their stories first—hand?Now,thanks to a library in Denmark,you can check out a person as you use a book to find out more about their unique stories.At the Human Library,you go through some titles and pick one you’d like to k now more about.When you decide on a title,you are taken to a discussion area to meet your human book and have the next 30 minutes with your“book”to learn about it.The downside is,unlike a book,that you don’t take that person home with you.Your“borrowed”hum an could be anyone—a funeral director,politician,or even a child—with an incredible story to tell.The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen,Denmark in 2000.Ronni Abergel,his brother Dany,and some colleagues hosted a four-day event during a major Northern European festival,hoping to raise awareness about violence among youth.After the Success.Abergel founded the Human Library Organization.Since then,it has spread to more than 50 countries around the world.Though there are a few perm anent human libraries,most aren’t places at all,but events.Even if many do take place at physical libraries,you don’t need a library card—anyone can come and be part of the experience.All that’s needed is people who want to tell their stories,and people wh o are willing to listen.12.The writer raises two questions in the first paragraph to__________.A.stress the importance of readingB.draw the readers’attention to the topicC.picture a reading scene of the futureD.invite readers to answer them13.Which of the following could be a disadvantage of the Human Library?A.Few topics are available for discussion.B.There is limited time for communication.C.The human book can’t be taken away.D.No instant answer will be received.14.To become a book in human form,one______.A.must present his library cardB.has to be at least 18 years oldC.should go to the library regularlyD.is willing to share his stories15.According to the author,the Human Library_______.A.has spread to every corner of the whole worldB.is an actual place for readers to discuss about booksC.aims to raise awareness about violence among youthD.gives a new meaning to the phrase“I am an open book”第二节七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余Millions of Chinese people have been playing a mobile game called Travel Frog recently. ____16______. You prepare food and tools for its trips, and the frog sends you postcards while it’s away.The game’s popularity may have something to do with how lonely people feel these days, according to Xinhua News Agency. _____17_____, and playing the game helps them forget their loneliness for a short time.____18______. According to the Guardian, about 40 percent of US adults say they’re lonely. And in the UK, about one in five people are “always or often lonely”, The Telegraph reported.This might be why the UK government announced in January that it had created the job of “minister for loneliness (孤独大臣)”. ____19______, while the minister’s office plans to spend money on activities to bring people together.____20______. When we see pictures of friends having fun or posting selfies without us, we may compare their “perfect” lives with our own, making us feel lonely and left out.But we should remember that there’s no need to feel lonely. A s UK poet John Donne once wrote, “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.”A. Loneliness seems to be a common problem todayB. Travel Frog is a mobile game known for its peaceful natureC. In the game, you act as the “parent” of a frog that lives alone and enjoys travelingD. The minister’s job is to find ways to help British people feel less lonelyE. Many players say that the lonely frog is just like themF. The loneliness problem may be partly due to social mediaG.

After all, I was a teenage girl, and I could not bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to stop rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost(街灯柱). This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow(吞下) my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up.I decided to walk on to the next stop.4. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_________.A. she might be recognizedB. asking for help looked sillyC. she was normal and independentD. being found blind was embarrassing5. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_________.A. began to runB. hit a person as usualC. hit a lamppost by accidentD. was caught by something6. What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?A. Other vehicles also stopped there.B. It was unreliable for making judgments.C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.7. Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping__________.A. to find people thereB. to find more buses thereC. to find the bus by herself thereD. to find people more helpful thereCTo travel abroad, we often meet the problem of what to take and how to take it .Take as little as it is possible. Choose clothes for your use in different kinds of situations and when you have made your final choice, take half of it! It’s always a big problem to take too many things, and anyway if necessary, you can buy what you need in America. Things like jeans, T-shirts and other clothes are good buys in the US. If you hunt around you can usually find something on sale.Whatever baggage you take, make sure it is easy to take .Getting on and off buses and trains, even just changing planes, can be a test if your bags are too heavy or too many .The best way is to take one holdall(手提箱), like a suitcase or a backpack, and then a smaller bag. Even when you have to check in your holdall, at the airport or bus station, you can keep all your money and documents by your side. It is also a good idea to keep a change of clothing in your shoulder bag in case your suitcase or backpack gets lost by an airline or a bus company.The means you choose to travel around the US will depend on your money, your time and something else. Since there are certain discounts available to travelers who buy their tickets outside the US, it is a good idea to make travel plans before you go there. Also, when you buy your tickets outside the US, you save the eight percent sales tax(税). Travel is like everything else in America—you have to shop around for the best buys. Never be afraid to ask for the cheapest fare. The clerk seldom offers you the cheapest one.8.What is the writer’s idea about what to take while travelling abroad ?A. Take as many clothes as possible.B. Take as few things as you can.C. Take only your tickets and money.D. Take whatever you can use in different situations.9. The writer thinks travelers had better put their money and documents in _______.A. a suitcaseB. a backpackC. a shoulder bagD. a coat pocket10. From the last paragraph we can learn that _______.A. travelling around the US will cost you little money.B. buying tickets outside the US is cheaper.C. asking prices is not good manners in the US.D. clerks always see you the cheapest things.11. The passage is mainly about some advice about _____.A. travelling in AmericaB. shopping in AmericaC. the means to travel around the USD. the ways to save money in the USADSo called “never-marrieds” are one of the fastest-growing groups in America, according to the US Census Bureau. More than 40 percent of the adult population are singles, and 10 percent of all adults will never marry, according to the recent statistics. In less than 30 years, the number of people who have never walked down the aisle(通道) has more than doubled, as the average age of marriage has reached a historic high: 25 years for women, and 27 years for men.Why is America becoming more and more a nation of singles? “People are being more demanding. It’s a soul mate(配偶) or nothing, when a generation ago, less than half the people said something similar to that,” relationship expert Laura Berman told Good Morning America.A recent Rutgers University study found 94 percent of people between the age of 20 and29 agreed to the statement: “When you marry, you want your partner to be your soul mate, first and foremost(最重要的).”In addition to that, modern women are able to support themselves, and do not need men for their money, Berman said. Some are buying homes for themselves. “They need a man for improvingtheir lives, but not for creating them.” she said. Gillian Thomas, a 33-year-old lawyer in Philadelphia, is part of the growing group. Attractive and successful, she has simply not found the right person to marry, and sees no reason to settle for less. “I feel internal(内部的) pressure to find a soul mate and I think we all do,” Thomas says. “I don’t think it’s just women. I think that in this sort of post-feminist(后女权主义) generation we all feel like we can have it all.”Singles often depend on a “family” of friends, who do everything from helping to paint each other’s apartments to taking vacations together, said freelance(自由职业) writer Ethan Watters, a single 37-year-old.He has maned these groups “urban tribes”, and is writing a book on the subject. But only the name is new.The comfort of these “urban tribes” may delay marriage, but they don’t rule marriage out. Indeed, there may be some good news for those who wait, Watters says. As the average age of marriage has risen, statistics say that divorce rates have leveled off. Could the urban tribes be on to something?12. As is given in this passage, why are there more and more ‘never-marrieds” in America?A. More and more young Americans enjoy single life.B. More Americans are afraid of marriage failure.C. American government supports its people to live a single life.D. Young Americans have higher expectations of marriage.13. According to Laura Berman, the aim of modern American women to marry is to .A. have a soul mate to deal with their troubleB. find a man to provide houses and fortune for themC. find a man to make their lives betterD. have a soul mate to create better lives for them14. It can be inferred from the passage that when American singles have something in trouble, they often .A. go back to their parents for helpB. go to travel to escape the troubleC. go to their friends for helpD. have the expectation of finding a soul mate15. The author’s attitude towards marriage in American is .A. concernedB. objectiveC. approvedD. pessimistic七选五In years past, you couldn’t talk to me before 10: 00 in the morning,much less expect me to get anything useful done. And the weekends ? Forget it. If the time had “a. m.” attached to the end of it, you’d better believe I was face-down in a pillow(枕头). 16 I’m mentally forming my to-do list before I even open my eyes. I find that my best writing is done within the first few hours after I wake up. So what’s my secret? 17Night time preparation is half the battle. A few minutes at night to set up the coffee pot, lay out an outfit(用具), and get your lunch together for the following day can be a godsend (意外获得的幸运) come sunrise.·Set two alarms.The first one is gentle, within reach and set for five minutes before you really need it. This comforting sound will slowly wake you up. 18·Do something that is truly, genuinely(真正地) you.19 Enjoy your coffee slowly. Take a walk or do ten minutes of yoga. If you walk out of the door with peace in your heart, you’ll carry it with you throughout the day.If you generally struggle in the evening hours, don’t push yourself too hard to go against nature. Lean into your afternoon energy but use these tips to help you embrace those tough mornings with a bit more grace(优雅). 20A. Get things ready in advance.B. Setting some exciting music for your alarm may also help.C. Nowadays, however, despite my best efforts I cannot sleep past 8.D. Give yourself a little “me” time before the hustle (忙碌、奔忙) begins.E. In time you might find yourself changing into a “morning person” after all!F. Losing an hour of sleep will decrease(减少) your ability to think the following day.G. The second one should be louder, and set for the time you actually need to get up.二完形填空 (共20小题; 每小题1.5 分, 满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A, B, C, D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项My father is my hero.
