He shared the story with me.At the memorial service, his friend's wife walked to the platform to speak to the gathering. She said a friend had asked her the best memory she had of their life together. At the moment, she had been too sad to answer, but she had thought about it since and wanted to answer the question.They were in their late forties when he died, and she began talking about a time in their life almost twenty years earlier. She had quit her job to obtain her master's degree, and her husband never hesitated in his support.He held down his own job and also did the cooking, cleaning, and other housework while she studied for her degree.One time they both stayed up all night. She was finishing her paper, and he was preparing for an important business meeting. That morning, she walked out of her study, leaned against the door by the stairs, looked at her husband downstairs and just thought about how much she loved him. She knew how important this meeting was to his future, and she was feeling guilty that she didn't even have time to make his breakfast. He took his briefcase and hurried out. She heard the garage door open and close, but much to her surprise, she heard it open again aboutthirty seconds later. From above, she watched her husband dash into the house and walk over to the forgotten coffee table. Marking the surface of it with his finger through the dust with the words "I love you", then he raced back to his car.The new widow then looked out at her audience and said, "John and I had a wonderful life together. We have been around the world several times. We've had everything money can buy. . . but nothing comes close to that moment."Hearing this, I was deeply moved. "Love makes life worthwhile. "36．The service was held to _________.A．listen to the woman's story B．express sorrow at the man's death C．meet some old friends D．share the woman's sadness37．Why did the woman quit her job?A．She had to support her husband.B．She had too much housework to do.C．She wanted to travel around the world.D．She needed to concentrate on her studies.38．"He held down his own job…" in Paragraph 4 means that _________.A．he managed to keep his job B．he needed help in his workC．he cancelled his job D．he delayed his work39．The woman mentioned an incident 20 years ago to show _________.A．how busy their life was B．how her husband loved herC．how they improved their life D．how hard her husband workedWELCOMEWelcome to Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world.

Many young people queue up to ride very fast and scary roller coasters（过山车），screaming but enjoying themselves, Other people like to read "goose bumps（鸡皮疙瘩）” books or watch horror movies at night, scared to death but feeling excited. Why do people like being scared?Fear is an ancient way of surviving. Being scared makes animals, including humans escape from danger and save themselves. It is because of fear that we have lived through millions of years of evolution. Those who lacked a strong fear response were more likely to be killed, leaving the more fearful and careful to pass their genes onto the next generation.How do scientists explain why shaking over such scary things is fun? "Some kids will go to a scary movie and love it and laugh over it, others will feel anxious and hide their faces and some won't even set foot in the cinema," said Ned Kalin, a US scientist. "Which kind of person you are depends partly on experiences you've had and partly on your genes."What happens in the brain when something frightens you? Nerves that begin at the eyes and ears lead to a part of the brain called the amygdala, When you suddenly see a snake, for example, the amygdala makes you freeze, sweat, have a quickened heartbeat, or run very fast. However, seeing the snake also uses another part of the brain, the cortex. It analyzes the situation, and if it finds that the snake is only made of rubber it tells your heart and the rest of your body to calm down. Think of the amygdala as the engine and the cortex as the brake.Back to the first question: Why do some people like to make themselves scared? "One reason is that we can play games with fear, find ways to reduce the scariness by looking away or thinking of something else," Kalin said. "To believe we have control over a situation gives us a feeling of power. " "Scary movies or novels are good practice to prepare young people for the real thing, Thrills such as roller coaster rides also go to the brain's pleasure centre. "And there might be some evolutionary advantage to being able to adjust this system that is there to protect people.43．How many questions are answered in the passage?A．2 B．3C．4 D．544．Some people like to be scared because _________.A．they are afraid that the fear genes will be passed onto their childrenB．it's a good practice to get prepared for the real frightening situationC．it can help them show their own personalitiesD．they will feel powerful after getting rid of fear45．Which of the following is true about the people who are not easily scared?A．Their cortex is better at analyzing the situations.B．They are more likely to suffer from potential danger.C．They are born unaffected by anything horrible.D．They lack a strong response towards threat.46．What is the best title of the passage?A．Ready to scream? B．How to be scared?C．Willing to shake? D．Why to be scared?The Diet Zone: A Dangerous PlaceDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet. . . We are surrounded by the word "diet" everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale（秤）instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word "diet" in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don't have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies becauseconsuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.47．From Paragraph 1, we learn that _________.A．diet products fail to bring out people's potentialB．people have difficulty in choosing diet productsC．diet products are misleading peopleD．people are fed up with diet products48．One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _________.A．try out a variety of diet foodsB．hesitate before they enjoy diet foodsC．pay attention to their own eating habitsD．watch their weight rather than their diet49．In Paragraph 3, "gain comes without pain" probably means _________.A．losing weight is effortlessB．it costs a lot to lose weightC．diet products bring no painD．diet products are free from calories50．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?C: central point P: point Sp: sub-point（次要点）C: conclusion A．B．C．D．四、七选五Most of us don't like to think too much about rubbish.51．. However, household waste is a major contributor to our planet's waste problem. Like it or not, it needs to be managed if we are to have a brighter green future.When it comes to being responsible for our own rubbish, the best way to approach it is by following the three golden rules of waste management, or the'3 Rs'-Reduce, Reuse and Recycle."The order is important.52．，" says Eugene Tay, Director of Green Future Solutions in Singapore. "Recycling still affects the environment and should be done last after reduce and reuse."But, when our efforts to reduce and reuse still result in an overflowing rubbish bin, the advantages of recycling cannot be ignored. "53．," says Amy Ho, Managing Director of World Wide Fund For Nature in Singapore. "The damage to our environment could then be slowed down as a result. "In fact, by recycling just one plastic bottle, you are saving not just the material to make a new one, but you also stop it from getting thrown into a landfill（垃圾掩埋场）for up to 700 years-and that's before it even starts to rot. 54．.Recycling is so important that we really have no excuse not to do the simplest of household tasks that will make a difference."55．，" says Ho. "Starting with recycling grey water for gardening purposes, to recycling materials such as glass, paper and iron-it all reduces the use of raw materials."A．We put it in the bin and don't think too far beyond thatB．The collective action of individuals can make a significant effectC．It's important for every household to make good use of grey waterD．Waste reduction and reuse is usually the best way to decrease wasteE.The three rules of waste management should be followed by every householdF.Recycling reduces the use of raw materials and so protects our natural resourcesG.Recycling just 10% plastic bottles would keep 90 million kilograms of plastic out of landfills五、选用适当得单词或短语补全句子选词填空56．Music shops should arrange their recordings in simple alphabetical order, rather than by _____________.57．Drivers will ____________ the law if they drive after drinking wine.58．I didn't do it __________ —it was an accident!59．She was in a __________ whether to stay at school or get a job.60．I've managed to __________ a five percent pay increase with my boss.61．Children need __________ amounts of nutritious foods to grow up strong and healthy. 62．She couldn't speak much English so her children had to __________ for her.63．If you don't use the correct grammar the meaning can be a bit __________ and lead to confusion.64．Many disabled people suffer from __________ at work.65．It is __________ for all motorcyclists to wear helmets（头盔）.六、单词拼写根据首字母和英文释义填空66．There is a limit to what one person can t__________ (to accept something or someone that is annoying or unpleasant).67．They are s__________ (to try to find something) for a solution to this problem. 68．The milkman was responsible for d__________(to take something to a place) milk to the households in this neighborhood every day in the morning.69．She used to be a p__________(host of a TV or radio program) of a gardening program. 70．This book is highly r__________ (to say something is good or useful) by teachers. 71．He p__________ (to touch somebody or something gently several times with your hand) her gently on the shoulder and then walked away.72．He r__________ (to give something to somebody because of their efforts service or help)us with a lot of money for helping him when he was in difficulty.73．Recently, they have just u__________ (to make something modern, usually by adding new parts or it or giving new information) their software.74．I accidently s__________(to cause liquid to flow out of its bottle) my drink all over him. 75．I woke up just before d_______________ (the beginning time of a day when light first appears in the sky).七、根据所给汉语意思完成句子词组填空，每条横线代表一个词76．The airline company has paid the passengers to ___________ ___________ __________（弥补）the serious delay.77．It was time we ___________ _________ ________（开始做某事）some serious work. 78．Sue tried to smile，but her voice _________ ___________（出卖，使……暴露）her sadness.79．You need to ________ _________ ___________（设定可实现的目标），or you may always _____________（推迟）your work.80．_________ ___________（无论）age, everyone is welcome to join the club, which________ __________ （由……组成）people from different countries.81．The broken window has _________ _________ _______（替换）a new one. 82．Last year，he finally achieved ________ ________ ______（突破了极限）and ________ ___________ _____________（做出了突破）.八、提纲类作文83．假设你是红星中学高一学生李华，你的英国朋友George要来北京，期间他想参加中国传统文化方面的课程，来信希望你能推荐一个课程。

We sang 17 for them. They loved our sweet songs and the flowers that we left with them.As we were 18 on the third floor for old people with Alzheimer (老年痴呆症), most of them 19 off at the walls or floor. However, one lady 20 my eye. She was sitting by the door, in a wheelchair, singing songs to herself. They weren‘t the songs that we were singing, at least they didn‘t 21 like that. As we got 22 with each festive song, she did as well. The louder we got, the louder she got. 23 she was singing, she was also 24 out to us with her hands and body. I knew that I should have gone over to her, but I thought that my 25 were to my students. People who worked at the care center could 26 to her, I thought.

Then she touched his cheek with the other hand. Tears began to fall down her face. No 32 can completely describe that touching moment...It 33 a boy to teach me, a man, about kindness and love.

She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed.Weeks passed and my parents started to _ 49 the fact that I had a phone. They would say, " We have noticed that you never pay attention to us. It's like you have your own little 50 now and we don't communicate as much with your phone．"I acted like they were wrong, but then I started to wonder if it was true that I was spending too much 51__ on the phone．A week later I tried 52_ a whole day without a cell phone and it didn't go that badly．I had so much 53 because I was actually spending time with my family and paying attention to them．From that day, I had a different point of view towards cell phones．Phones really take you away from the rest of the world．I'm not saying that phones are 54 and not to use them, but you do have to spare some time to spend with your family and not get 55 with your phone all day．My phone took away time from my homework and from my family．It also affected my grades．I will keep using my phone, but I will have it under better control．36．A．office B．school C．store D．home37．A．took B．put C．turned D．showed38．A．number B．name C．help D．address39．A．come B．hand C．give D．exist40．A．job B．test C．phone D．desk41．A．caught B．allowed C．troubled D．appreciated42．A．proud B．doubtful C．sure D．angry43．A．mention B．notice C．prevent D．punish44．A．until B．before C．though D．because45．A．clearer B．easier C．worse D．better46．A．read B．sign C．do D．make47．A．box B．book C．homework D．paper48．A．believe B．receive C．see D．achieve49．A．ignore B．dislike C．accept D．enjoy50．A．secret B．idea C．world D．dream51．A．time B．force C．money D．control52．A．studying B．working C．going D．thinking53．A．trouble B．worry C．fun D．improvement54．A．good B．bad C．necessary D．useful55．A．interested B．pleased C．annoyed D．stuck三、阅读理解【一】（5篇阅读，共20小题；每小题1分，共20分）CEverywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that ―addicted‖ was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.I see people trapped in a pathological（病态的）relationship with time-sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for proclaiming th e wisdom that ―too much of a good thing is wonderful.‖But it‘s time to discover that it does not work for technology.Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that ―we can be swept away by our technologies.‖To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today‘s overused technology.56. The underlined word ―allure‖ in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. advantageB. attractionC. a daptionD. attempt57. From the passage, technology companies aim to ______.A. attract people to buy their productsB. provide the latest informationC. improve people‘s quality of lifeD. deal with cultural diseases58. It can be inferred from this passage that people ______.A. consider too much technology wonderfulB. have realized the harm of high-tech devicesC. can regain freedom without high-tech devicesD. may enjoy life better without overused technology59. What‘s the author‘s attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?A. Neutral.B. Sceptical.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.DDid you see American figure skater, Jeremy Abbott, crash to the ice during the short program at the Sochi Olympics, rolling into the wall, clutching his side in pain. Ten seconds later, he got up and continued his skate—despite the pain, embarrassment and fear. All I could think was: this kid‘s got courage. In business we have a word for it—resilience, the ability to gain strengths and confidence from overcoming unpleasant events.However, opposite examples appeared in Sochi Olympics as well. For them, failure is someone else‘s fault, because they do not accept personal responsibility. Therefore, they have to pay a high price for this attitude. After years of studying failure, I have learned one thing: modesty and open-mindedness in the face of mistakes is the single best thing you can do to improve results.Everyone fails, but not everyone recovers from failure. The key is to learn from it rather than get beaten by it.The good news is that each of us has the potential to live a resilient life on and off the job. It may be difficult, but that just makes it all the more powerful and important. If you believe the above paragraph to be true, then y ou‘re probably more resilient than you think you are. It takes confidence to be resilient but that too much confidence is a killer is so true of leadership. For example, Ron Johnson, the ill-fated CEO of JC Penney, was so stubborn that he completely missed all sorts of signals from employees and customers and instead listened to all those who agreed with him, which failed his strategy. Bouncing back from failure requires that you recognize something has gone wrong, and you were the one who made it happen.The challenge of resilience is not just about our work. When parents help their kids deal with every challenging situation, they are doing an unhelpful action to their children. Parents want to protect their kids from failure, but doing so takes away the opportunity from them to practice not just a life skill but an essential work skill. When self-esteem becomes more important than results, we are accidently training young people to become less adaptable, not more.Resilience is not just about getting up off the floor, but also being ready for whatever comes next, even when you don‘t know what it is. Failures and setbacks are no longer unusual events, but regular features of a dynamic, competitive and highly demanding work environment. Getting up to finish your skate is no longer optional.60. The example of Jeremy Abbott shows that one should ______.A. recover from failureB. stick to his own viewpointC. take others‘ opinions to heartD. challenge difficulties bravely61. According to the author, what can best build up resilience?A. Being positive and powerful.B. Being competitive and helpful.C. Being modest and open-minded.D. Being confident and responsible.62. Which of the following examples shows us resilience?A. A teacher offers students timely help and care.B. A determined athlete practices skating hard every day.C. A confident leader persuades his staff to follow his plan.D. A student has got a low grade but continues to work hard.63. Which might be the best title for the passage?A. An Example of Resilience: Ron JohnsonB. Resilience: A Lesson from SochiC. Optional Challenges of ResilienceD. Resilience in Family EducationEGoogle has kicked off Google Science Fair (GSF) 2014, its annual online competition forbright, creative and ambitious teenagers who want to change the world with science. While the project is led by Google, it also has the backing of the Lego Group and world-famous publications National Geographic and Scientific American. The competition is open for students aged 13 to 18, who can sign-up now, form a team and begin working on a submission.The winner will be rewarded with a ten-day exploration to the Galapagos Islands aboard the National Geographic Endeavor, as well as a VIP tour of ‗Spaceport America‘ in New Mexico. Google is also throwing in a $50,000 scholarship and $10,000 for the winner‘s school to purchase cutting-edge science lab equipment.Google suggests that each project should be ―an in-depth investigation of a science question or engineering problem‖ but otherwise, it‘s up to students to pick and develop an idea that follows the competition rules.Completed projects need to be submitted by May 12, 2014 at 11:59 PDT. Google will announce the regional competitors in June, ahead of global finalists in August and the competition winners in September.Interested? Here are the rules.If you want to enter the competition as an individual (个人), you should register first.

You will be required to complete all sections of the Project Site.You may begin working on your project after completing the registration process, however, you may not submit it for judging until you have requested and received parental consent (允许). Once you have done this, your parent or guardian will receive an email from Google with instructions on how they can give their consent for you to participate. The project will not be judged unless this consent is received.64. From the first paragraph, we can learn that ________.A.GSF is a science competitionB.teenagers should form a teamC.every teenager can take part in itD.GSF is organized by Google alone65. What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?A. Parental consent.B. Submission time.C. Registration process.D. Project requirements.66. If you plan to enter GSF alone, you ________.A. should create your project firstB. you needn‘t follow the officia l rulesC. you should provide some personal informationD. your should start your project before registration67. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A. offer tips on how to enter GSFB. provide information about GSFC. persuade teenagers to enter GSFD. show teenagers the importance of GSFFDear Mom, Clear My CalendarSeptember is around the corner, and some of us are already complaining about summer‘s end. But parents have a special reason to do so. The end of summer means the start of school. And these days, planning a young child‘s schedule is a big challenge. The challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a child‘s day; it is saying no to the hundreds of options available. Our mailbox is filled with brochures urging us to sign our kids up for classes from cooking to martial arts(武术).Educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend. In the name of ―enrichment,‖ three-year-olds not only go to preschool in the morning but study French or gymnasticsafter lunch. One teacher tells of a four-year-old asking for help in the toilet before hurrying off to tennis. Another teacher says that children sometimes hold on to her at pickup time. What happened to unstructured time?A generous explanation is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had. The truth however is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families. And one way to reduce this guilt is to believe that time spent in these classes is somehow more beneficial to children than the time we know we should be giving them ourselves.David Elkind, an expert on children, suggests that the 1960s gave birth to the belief that earlier is better. Parents hope that early music lessons, for exa mple will build a child‘s confidence. The truth, however, is that any time children are asked to do too much, too soon, they are at greater risk for feelings of failure.A child‘s time does not have to be planned to be meaningful. Remember the lazy days of summer? Some children sleep late and play with the kids across the street until it‘s time to come home for dinner. However, with the majority of mothers working, fewer children enjoy that idle (空闲的) time now.Come September, children across the country will finish a full day of kindergarten, only to attend an after-school program until 6 P.M., when a working mom or dad comes to take them home. That‘s too much for a five-year old. Finances, of course, do limit some parents. But let‘s be honest with ourselve s –our own busy schedules, whatever they involve, are no excuse for burdening a young child‘s.68. The author holds that it‘s a challenge to plan a schedule for a child mainly because _____.A. a child‘s schedule is too complexB. activities suitable for kids are limitedC. parents are stuck in numerous choicesD. children always say no to parents‘ advice69. What the two teachers say in Paragraph 2 implies that _____.A. children love to stay at schoolB. they are popular with childrenC. children dislike after-school classesD. after-school classes are of poor quality70. According to the author, what is the real reason for parents to send their children toafter-school classes?A. Parents want to make up for their own regrets.B. After-school c lasses develop children‘s potential.C. Parents have doubt about their own ability to guide children.D. After-school classes give parents an excuse for being absent.71. Which of the following will the author probably agree with?A. For children‘s benefits, the earlier the better.B. Children‘s spare time should be carefully designed.C. Idle time for children is becoming a thing of the past.D. Parents should be forgiven if they have a good reason.,GThe word proactivity is fairly common in management literature, but you won't find it in thedictionary．It means that as a human being you take responsibility for your own life．Look at the word responsibility: ability to choose your response, response-ability．Effective people are proactive because they take responsibility．Their behavior is a product of their own decisions, based on values, rather than being a product of their own conditions, based on feelings．For instance, you are planning a picnic with your family．You're excited．You have all the preparations．You've decided where to go, and then it becomes stormy, killing your plan．Proactive people carry weather within them．They realize what their purpose really was, and they creatively have a picnic elsewhere even if it's in their own basement with some special games, and make the best of that situation．The opposite of being proactive is to be reactive．Reactive people would say, "What's the use?" "We can't do anything．" "Oh this is so upsetting after all of our preparations and arrangements．" They try to persuade the people around them and usually the picnic will be cancelled．Being proactive is really just being true to your human nature．Your basic nature is to act, and not to be actedupon．That's true, despite widely accepted theories of determinism used to explain human nature．Determinism says that you don't really choose anything and that what you call choices are nothing more than automatic responses to outside conditions．The language of reactive people is like: " I can't．" " Don't have time．" " I have to．" " I must．" The whole spirit of that language is the transfer of responsibility．They think things are determined by their environment, or by their conditions, or by their conditioning or their genetic （基因的）makeup．Psychologically, people who believe they are determined will produce the evidence to support the belief, and they increasingly feel victimized and out of control．They're not in charge of their life at all．On the contrary, a proactive person exercises free will, the freedom to choose the response that best applies to his values．In that way, he gains control over the circumstances, rather than being controlled by them．72．According to the passage, a proactive person's behavior can result from ______．A．the environment B．an inner beliefC．the genetic makeup D．a temporary feeling73．When a picnic plan is threatened by a sudden storm, reactive people will probably ____．A．have the picnic as planned B．make the best of the picnicC．complain and give up the picnic D．find somewhere else for the picnic74．What does "carry weather within them" in the second paragraph probably mean?A．Manage to improve the weather．B．Give in to the weather passively．C．Stress the influence of the weather．D．Find a solution to the weather problems．75．It can be concluded from the passage that determinists ______．A．accept things passively B．are in charge of themselvesC．are similar to proactive people D．respond to outside conditions actively四、阅读理解【二】（3篇阅读，共15小题；每小题1分，共15分）HFlash Mob: The Pop CultureIf you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don‘t need to feel surprised. They are a flash mob. Who are they? Are they mobs (暴民)? 76 Actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly separate.A flash mob is usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks. 77 At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some tasks such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their lungs for 30 seconds. Then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive.Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper‘s Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003 at Macy‘s department store. More than one hundred people stepped onto the ninth floor carpet department of Macy‘s department store, gathering around an expensive carpet. Following this flash mob, about 200 people flooded the lounge of the Hyatt hotel and applauded for about fifteen seconds. 78Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing, but it might also frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. 79 They also have enormous economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.80 People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson‘s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. Hundreds of his fans gathered outside the railway station in Liverpool. They were singing and dancing Michael‘s famous song ―Beat It‖ together. And in another example, some people took part in a flash mob to tell more people not to use negative words.Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.A.Don‘t be confused by their name.B.People are attracted by the silly and harmless activities.C.The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular.ing mobile phones, the flash mob can change their gathering place.E. A later mob saw hundreds of people in Central Park making bird noises.F.The messages may be forwarded to friends, who forward to more people.G.Undoubtedly, flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction.IWhere would you most like to go on vacation? Paris? London? The Amazon Rainforest? Each of these destinations is attractive．81As a new word, staycation refers to people staying at home during their vacation time, and going sightseeing around their hometown．Staycations have become really popular recently, as a way of having an enjoyable vacation, without spending too much money．There are shortcomings to every positive thing, however．82 You also might prevent yourself from enjoying things to the fullest, as the atmospheremight be the same as any other time．83 It means you won't be available for work or other activities．What can you do to make your staycation fun?1．Go to a nearby town, or to a fancy hotel in your hometown and stay over night．Treat yourself to room service and any other fun things the hotel has to offer．2．84 You would have done it on a vacation, right? Treat yourself to this, at least for one day!3．Throw a small party．Think about the money you are saving by not going away．You will still save money, but have more fun, and you will help other people to have fun too!4．Go shopping! Window shopping, or the super fun type, where you buy things! You would have bought souvenirs （纪念品）if you had gone on a vacation, so treat yourself during your staycation!The most important thing to remember is to do things that make you and your family excited! 85 A．Eat out for every meal!B．Go on a day trip to a nearby town, or to a beach．C．But why not remain at home and enjoy a staycation?E．Most of the time it involves dining out more frequently than usual．D．If you are on a staycation, you might get calls from work．F．Make sure you all have fun, and when it is over, you feel refreshed．G．The trick is to make sure your friends and coworkers know you are on a staycation．JThere is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding. 86The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. 87 Such materials may increase our stor e of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don‘t have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completelyunderstand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader‘s understan ding. 88 Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here ―learning‖ means understanding more, not remembering more information.What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding. 89 Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved.90 It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.。

Picasso was famous for his work in Cubism, which often uses acute angles and ________ the world is represented as being constructed of cubes and rectangles.A. thatB. whichC. whereD. why参考答案：C【详解】考查非限定性定语从句。
句意：毕加索以立体派作品而闻名，立体派作品经常使用锐角，立方体和长方形来表示世界。
分析句子结构可知，定语从句的先行词为Cubism，从句不缺主宾表，缺少地点状语，应该用关系副词where，故C项正确。
【点睛】本题的难度在于一个句子中含有两个定语从句，可用代入法解题，即：把先行词Cubism带入到第二个定语从句，完整的定语从句是"in Cubism the world is represented as being constructed of cubes and rectangles"；in Cubism 在定语从句中作抽象的地点状语，所以用关系副词where。

"Our suggestion is for people to increase their intake（吸入，摄入）, through diet or a vitamin supplement," Dr. Cedric Garland said in a telephone interview.B.African people.C.American people.D.European people.3.One day, Mr. Arnold was teaching a lesson, and things were going as normally as ever. He was explaining the story of mankind to his pupils. He told them that, in the beginning, men were nomads; they never stayed in the same place for very long. Instead, they would travel about, here and there, in search of food, wherever it was to be found. And when the food ran out, they would move off somewhere else.He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals. This was an important discovery, because by learning to cultivate（耕作）the land, and care for animals, mankind would always have food steadily available. It also meant that people could remain living in one place, and this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to complete, like building towns, cities, and all that were in them. All the children were listening attracted by this story, until Lucy jumped up:"And if that was so important and improved everything so much, why are we nomads all over again, Mr. Arnold?"Mr. Arnold didn't know what to say. Lucy was a very intelligent girl. He knew that she lived with her parents in a house, so she must know that her family were not nomads; so what did she mean?"We have all become nomads again," continued Lucy, "The other day, outside the city, they were cutting the forest down. A while ago a fisherman told me how they fish. It's the same with everyone: when there's no more forest left the foresters go elsewhere, and when the fish run out the fishermen move on. That's what the nomads did, isn't it?The teacher nodded, thoughtfully. Really, Lucy was right Mankind had turned into nomads. Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep supplying our needs, we kept developing it until the land was bare. And then off we would go to the next place! The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what they could do to show how to be more civilized.The next day everyone attended class wearing a green T-shirt, with a message that said "I am not a nomad!"And, from then on, they set about showing that indeed they were not. Every time they knew they needed something, they made sure that they would get it using care and control. If they needed wood or paper, they would make sure that they got the recycled kind. They ordered their fish from fish farms, making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small. They only used animals that were well cared for, and brought up on farms.And so, from their little town, those children managed to give up being nomads again, just as prehistoric men had done, so many thousands of years ago.（1）From Paragraph 2, we can know that ________.A.people got tired of living in the same placeB.people gradually got used to living in citiesC.people tended to settle down after learning farmingD.people spent a long time in learning to keep animals（2）The teacher thought Lucy's argument was ________.A.shockingB.ridiculousC.puzzlingD.reasonable（3）Which of the following agrees with the message "I am not a nomad" (Paragraph 7)?A.People eat young fish for its delicious taste.B.Foresters leave the place where wood is not available.C.Fishermen move elsewhere when there is no fish left.D.People use recycled materials as much as possible.（4）The writer tries to make us believe that ________．A.mankind has been progressing mainly through traveling aboutB.it's unwise for mankind to use the land in an uncontrolled wayC.it's quite good for students to learn more about the history of mankindD.in the beginning men were nomads4.If you feel the sky seem empty of birds, you are not alone. A 2018 study showed that 40% of the world's 11,000 bird species are on the decrease, and one in eight bird species is threatened with global extinction, one of which is the kakapo.Native to New Zealand, they are unlike any other species of parrots. Over time, they have lost their ability to fly and gained weight and become the heaviest parrots. Once found in large numbers, they're now close to extinction. While fierce animals are to blame, their breeding（繁殖）habits don't help either.The parrots, which can live up to 100 years, don't start breeding until the age of five. Therefore, it is not surprising that only 114 adult parrots remained in 2019. Though the number is low, it is larger than thatin 1995, when only 51 remained on earth. The growing population is a result of the government's decision and the efforts of a team led by Andrew Rigby, a scientist.The researchers tagged each bird with a smart transmitter（发射器）. Its information is picked up and sent to the scientists, allowing them to locate where the birds are nesting and get to know if they are sick. The trackers also allow the team to control the parrots' diet at the right time. Once the birds lay eggs, the eggs are taken from the nests. Once the eggs hatch, each mother is given only one chick, while the rest are hand raised, which helps ensure they all receive enough food.While such efforts to bring back a species may seem unreasonable, Rigby believes it is vital for the future of all endangered animals. He says, "From an ecosystem point of view, we don't know what bringing kakapos back to stable numbers would produce. However, kakapos are like the panda of the bird world. If people engaged with kakapos, they would be interested in conservation of other wildlife."（1）What do we know about kakapos from the text?A.They have been extinct in the wild.B.They live in peace with wild animals.C.They're flightless and the heaviest parrots.D.They have been hunted by human beings.（2）Why does the population of kakapos increase so slowly?A.They don't breed until they are five.B.They don't adapt to the surroundings.C.The government didn't take action in time.D.The efforts made by the team didn't take effect.（3）What is implied in Rigby's words in the last paragraph?A.It's hard to bring back an endangered species.B.It's important for human beings to respect nature.C.Few people know how to save the endangered animals.D.Saving kakapos will have a great influence on wildlife protection.（4）What is the main idea of the text?A.The scientists know how to save kakapos.B.The latest technology is used to save kakapos.C.The kakapo is different from other species of parrots.D.A new program is aimed at protecting the environment.Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders said that part-time work was a good way to help young people learn skills that they would need in their working lives.In reality, it's all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.（1）What does the author focus on in paragraph 2?A.The potential effect of the job trend in the UK.B.The problems with job employment the UK is facing.C.The benefits of taking part-time jobs for UK teenagers.D.The different views from UK students on part-time jobs.（2）What does the underlined word "pernicious" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Unknown.B.Changeable.C.Necessary.D.Harmful.（3）What's Geoff Barton's attitude towards part-time work for the young?A.Worried.B.Positive.C.Cautious.D.Uncertain.（4）What is the best title for the text?A.Should Students Take Up Part-time Jobs?B.More and More Students Begin to Work Hard.C.How Can Students Balance Study and Work?D.Part-time Jobs for Students Are Unacceptable.三、书面表达（本题共计 2 小题，每题 20 分，共计40分）6. 假定你是魏华，你的笔友Jane最近总是感觉身体不适，因此写信向你询问如何保持健康。

The Olympic Games were being held in Berlin. I had trained, sweated and disciplined myself for 6 years on the running broad jump. A year before, as a college student at the Ohio State, I'd set the world's record of 26 feet 8 1/4 inches. Nearly everyone expected me to win.I was in for a surprise. When the time came for the broad-jump trials (选拔赛), I was shocked to see a tall boy hitting the pit (坑) at almost 26 feet on his practice leaps. He turned out to be a German named Luz Long. He had easily qualified for the finals on his first attempt.A nervous athlete is an athlete who will make mistakes. I fouled (犯规) twice on my qualifying jumps. Walking a few yards from the pit, I kicked at the dirt disgustedly. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to look into the friendly blue eyes of Luz Long. "Hi, I'm Luz Long. I don't think we've met." "Glad to meet you," I said. Then, trying to hide my nervousness, I added, "How are you?" "I'm fine. Something must be eating you. You should be able to qualify with your eyes closed." He said.He seemed to understand my nervousness, and took pains to reassure me. Finally, seeing that I had calmed down somewhat, he said, "What does it matter if you're not the first in the trials? Tomorrow is what counts." All the tension left my body as the truth of what he said hit me. Confidently I qualified with almost a foot to spare.Luz broke his own record and pushed me on to a peak performance. The instant I landed from my final jump — the one which set the Olympic record of 26 feet 5 1/16 inches — he was at my side, congratulating me.46．The author said "I was in for a surprise" because he _____.A．beat Luz Long B．met a great competitorC．qualified for the final D．joined in the Olympic Games 47．What can we learn about the author from the passage?A．He remained confident in the Olympic Games.B．He had qualified for the finals on his first attempt.C．He broke the world record of the running broad jump.D．He had prepared for Berlin Olympics in Ohio State.48．What is the passage mainly about?A．A memorable experience in the Olympics.B．A reliable man in the Olympic Games.C．A surprising result in the Olympic Games.D．A good suggestion on how to win in the OlympicsMy daughter and I collected the empty cans and bottles in our home this morning. We had 6 full garbage bags later so I knew we would be spending a bit more of time at the recycling center. When we got there, a man and his kids were also doing the morning recycling and were using two of the four machines to recycle their plastic and cans. Luckily, we were able to use the 2 remaining machines.Of course, there were others that came, but when they saw the two families with garbage bags full of recycled things, they quickly left. However, one woman came in with just 5 cans and looked as if she was in a hurry. So I stopped what I was doing and let her in to recycle her cans. Of course, she was grateful, and it felt good to let her go ahead of me. But that was not the whole story.My daughter and I continued to work through the bags, but the plastic recycling machine stopped working because it was full, My daughter was left with nothing to do. The other family was still using the other two plastic recycling machines, but it seemed that they were almost done. I just told my daughter we would have to wait until they were done. But the man of the other family came through with another act of kindness. He offered to let us go ahead of him. I was really surprised, because we had more than 5 bottles, but he didn't seem to mind. I happily accepted it.It was great to give and then to get an act of kindness in turn. It was small, I didn't expect it, but it surely brightened up my day.49．From Paragraph 1 we can learn that _____________.A．the author did collecting every morningB．the author usually had 6 bags of cans to recycleC．most people did recycling in the morningD．there were four recycling machines in all50．The author let the woman recycle her cans first because ___________.A．there were many other families thereB．the woman seemed to be in a hurryC．the author wanted to hear a storyD．the woman was very grateful51．Why couldn't the author finish her recycling in time?A．Because her daughter's machine stopped working.B．Because the other family was still using the machines.C．Because she let the other family use her machine first.D．Because she helped recycle the other family's bags first.52．What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．The kindness. B．The offer.C．The machine. D．The 5 bottles.The Commonwealth games have meant that the eyes of the world have been focused on our fair city-Melbourne. And it would look pretty good, wouldn't it? And what better way to regain our title as world's most livable city? I'm told that we recently lost the right to say this to foreign friends proudly when the international list was re-examined and we slipped to the fourth place.It's hard to see how Melbourne could have lost its crown (桂冠) when you look at what it has to offer. 24 hours Coles, free transport for drunks on New Year's Eve, a new freeway, it's all here.The first focus for the international press will obviously be the endless stadiums dotted around the city. But as well as being full every other weekend, these great places often play host to slightly older kids. At Rod Laver, even the olds get a look-in as the Christian evangelical (教会的) road show rolls into town once a year for a night of stadium worship (崇拜).Another pleasure Melbourne enjoys is that it's very easy to get around. There's a bit of a squeeze during rush hour for sure, but nothing like Bangkok, where the journey home can take longer than growing a beard and parking is barely distinguishable from the drive itself. Driving here is a piece of cake. It must be because the wise people who hand out the taxis seem to actively encourage a career behind the wheel within 24 hours of landing in the country as an educational tool for getting to know the city. No slowing down for learning bends, just go, go, go!As for the social life, with over 40 million bars in Melbourne's CBD alone, we have plenty of places for spectators to celebrate national victory, making this town as good as any and ithappens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.Unfortunately, the athletes themselves don't get to smell the roses to the same degree. But the rest of the world will know that this is the place to be. The most livable city in the world. By far the easiest place on earth to cheat death, which is essentially what we're talking about. 53．In Paragraph 1 and 2 the author is wondering ________________.A．how Melbourne has fallen behindB．when the international list was re-examinedC．what they should do to regain the world's focusD．whether Melbourne can offer greater convenience54．What does the author mainly want to show in the passage?A．The casual life styles of Melbourne.B．The competitive advantages of Melbourne.C．The various social activities in Melbourne.D．The convenient transportation in Melbourne.55．From the underlined sentence, we can infer the athletes __________.A．have minimum social activitiesB．take no interest in the beauty of the cityC．are forbidden to live in the busy city centerD．are unwilling to celebrate the victory publicly56．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: ConclusionA．B．C．D．Basically, without the possibility of failure, there is little possibility of success. Education is in danger of becoming a branch of the entertainment industry. Although educationshould indeed be entertaining where possible, it cannot always be fun. Often, it needs the "hard yards".Some educationalists feel that if something causes worry it should be avoided at all costs, I would disagree. Facing up to challenges helps develop children. Avoiding challenges can severely limit their potential. Tougher children are able to try and fail. The less tough may simply fail to try anything new.I’m not advocating putting children under pressure. The real debate is perhaps what pressures are unavoidable. It's not about "throwing children into the deep end", but rather encouraging them to put their foot in the water and giving them the skills to float.This latter approach is basically the work I and my team do at the University of Hull. We measure mental toughness and then provide interventions to improve this. These interventions include psychological skills such as goal setting, relaxation and thought control. So, for example, many children will say: "What happens if it goes wrong?" We work hard to change this so that the sentence reads: "What happens if it goes right?" One word difference, but a world away when thinking about challenges.We try to help children deal more effectively with life using a three-step approach. Firstly, it is important to set realistic and achievable goals. Then it is a matter of finding out what factors (因素) are helping children to achieve these goals and what factors are working against this. The final step is to discover which of these factors can be controlled, or at least influenced, and what factors the child is in reality stuck with. Redirecting children's energies to movable obstacles (障碍) can produce huge life changes.However, I think that for most of us we have become stress averse (反对的) and overreact to it. It has always been there, and it has always been the case that some people enjoy it, some need help to deal with it and some people's lives are ruined by it.Showing our children that stress can be faced with and beaten offers them a way forward. The more a fear is avoided, the bigger it gets.57．From the passage, we know the writer believes ____________.A．education needs challengesB．education should always be funC．children should avoid facing challengesD．the more challenges, the better for the children58．The writer disagreed with some educationalists because ________________.A．some children are less toughB．some pressures are avoidableC．some challenges do good to childrenD．some children are unaware of their potential59．What do the writer and his team do at the University of Hull?A．Record what the children do in stressful situations.B．Make the children tougher mentally and physically.C．Put the children under pressure by giving them challenges.D．Give the children challenges and suggest suitable approaches.60．What is the correct attitude towards stress according to the writer?A．We should try our best to avoid stress.B．We should love stress because stress is unavoidable.C．We should put ourselves to the test in stressful situations.D．We should experience stress and learn skills to deal with it.四、七选五ApathyApathy is a state of lacking interest, enthusiasm or concern. 61．They may also exhibit unfeelingness. Christians have condemned apathy as a lack of love and devotion to God and His works.62．Also meaning "absence of passion" in Greek, the term "apatheia" was used by the Stoics (禁欲主义者) to show a desirable state of indifference towards events and things which lie outside one's control.The modern concept of apathy became well known after World War I, when it was called “shell shock. " Soldiers, living in the trenches among the bombing and gun fires, saw the battlefields filled with dead and wounded companions.63．In 1950, US novelist Passos wrote "Apathy is one of the characteristic responses of any living being when it is subjected to something too tense or too complicated to deal with. " US philosopher Robert M. Hutchins summarizes the concerns about political indifference. He claims that the death of democracy is not likely to be a sudden murder from ambush (埋伏)．64．There may be other things contributing to a person's political apathy. Activist Dave Meslin argues that apathy is often the result of social systems actively blocking engagement andinvolvement. He describes various barriers that prevent people from knowing how or why they might get involved in something,65．These include: political media that make it difficult for potentially interested individuals to find relevant information, and media descriptions of heroes as "chosen" by outside forces rather than self-motivated. He suggests that we redefine social apathy not as a population that is stupid or lazy, but as a result of poorly designed systems that fail to invite others to participate.A．It will be a slow process of fading away from apathy and indifference.B．Apathetic people may lack a sense of purpose or meaning in their life.C．The word "dispassion" is used for "apatheia", so as not to confuse it with apathy.D．He focuses on design choices that unintentionally or intentionally exclude people.E.So they gradually developed a sense of disconnected numbness to normal social interaction.F.Although the word "apathy" originates from "apatheia", it is important not to confuse the two terms.G.Author John McManamy argues apathy is a psychological problem for some depressed people, in which they get a sense that "nothing matters".五、单词拼写请根据提示，用单词的正确形式填空。
