AWhen Charles Stratton was five, he stopped growing.His mother took him to see the famous showman, P.T.Barnum.Mr.Barnum thought a small person would be the perfect addition to his show.He hired Charles' parents along with him, and they traveled the world together.He gave the two-foot-tall Charles a name, General Tom Thumb.He taught Tom how to sing, dance, act and tell jokes.When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads.To stir up great interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England.During the show, Tom fought battles pretendedly with tall people.He also danced upon a wooden plate held by a person who was eight feet tall.Tom's act was very popular and brought in a lot of money.By the time Tom was an adult, he had grown very rich.He had become a billionaire at the age of twenty five.Fortunately for Tom, Mr.Barnum added more little people to his show, and Tom became lucky in love as well.One of the little people was Lavinia Warren, a schoolteacher.Tom was able to win her love, and they married.The ceremony and reception were the talk of the town.They were attended by many rich and famous people and by about 2000 guests.Crowds filled the streets of New York to have a look at their tiny wedding marriage.The couple even met with President Abraham Lincoln on their honeymoon just before going to live in Tom's house in Connecticut.Their wedding, which took place during the Civil War, provided a welcome escape from the sad problems of war.Not willing to let this bit of sunshine fade, communities throughout the country sponsored "Tom Thumb" weddings.In these weddings, small boys and girls, all dressed up, went through marriage ceremony for fun.1.The underlined words "talk of the town" means________.A.it was in the newspaperB.it was the most popular topicC.people spread bad rumors about itD.it was discussed in a city meeting2.What does the author think about Tom's wedding?A.Tom and Lavinia were stupid.B.People gave it too much of their attention.C.It was funny and ridiculous.D.It helped people cheer up in a dark time.3.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A.Weddings always make people feel full of sunshine.B.People are always disappointed during war time.C.Entertainment can serve an important purpose.D.People should be married when they are small children.2.BDeath is natural, but do you have any idea of the process of dying? Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two phases --- clinical or temporary death and biological death.Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to function, but have not suffered permanent damage.The organism can still be revived(复活).Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaking up” of vital cells and tissues.Death is then unchangeable and final.Scientists have been seeking a way to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs.The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism, combined with narcotic sleep.By slowing down the body’s metabolism(陈代谢), cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.To illustrate how this works, scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkey called Keta.The scientist put Keta to sleep with a narcotic.Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature.When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an artery.The monkey’s blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped: clinical death set in.For twenty minutes Keta remained in this state.Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees.At this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial breathing.After two minutes Keta’s heart became active once more.After fifteen minutes, spontaneous(自发的)breathing began, and after four hours Keta opened her eyes and lifted her head.After six hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, Keta seized the syringe and ran with it around the room.Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal.1.For a person who suffers from the clinical death, _________.A.his most important organs are damaged.B.he still has the possibility of getting back to life.C.he can not avoid final death.D.he is still very much alive2.Scientists try to make the time of clinical death longer in order to __________.A.slow down the body’s metabolism.B.bring vital cells and tissues back to active life.C.cool the organism.D.delay the coming of biological death.3. How did the scientists put Keta into clinical death?A.By putting her to sleep, lowering her temperature and draining her blood.B.By surrounding her body with ice-bags and draining her blood.C.By lowing her blood pressure and stopping her heart from beating.D.By draining her blood, lowering her blood pressure and stopping her breathing.4. All of the following indicate that the monkey has almost restored to her original physical state except the fact that__________.A.her heart beat again.B.she regained her normal breath.C.she rejected a penicillin injection.D.she acted as lively as a healthy monkey.3.C“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before,” says Patsy Rowe, “ Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达).” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder that more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with complaining about the noise.Here are some examples of rudeness.Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet.To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward.It feels very slow because humans don’t work at 4G speeds.When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone.We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with.What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的)rude messages by email.However, rudeness is never acceptable.Don’t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you’re in touch with won’t recognize you.If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it.Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.We shouldn’t blame technology for our shortcomings.Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives.An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings.People spend a lot oftime pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we’dpublicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.1.What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?A.People can tell good from bad behavior.B.Radar is able to observe human behavior.C.People care little about their behavior.D.Radar can be used to predict human behavior.2.Some people are less willing to deal with humans because__________.A.they are becoming less patientB.they are growing too independentC.they have to handle many important messagesD.they have to follow an evolutionary step backward.3.The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is ___________.A.RidiculousB.disgustingC.acceptableD.reasonable4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.We should applaud good behavior.B.Technology can never be blamedC.We should keep pointing out mistakes.D.Technology will take over lives one day.4.DI have two sons.They are as different as night and day.My youngest is sweet, loveable, easy-going, and finds joy in everything.My oldest we’ve nicknamed the “Evil Genius” is ambitious, self-confident, and suffers no fools.Whenever we mentioned Santa my husband and I were rewarded with major eye rolling and deep sighs from my oldest.At first we both tried to ignore it.We both knew that our eldest had figured out the big secret.But I’d be damned(指责) if he was going to ruin it for his six-year-old brother who had plenty of Santa-loving years ahead of him.I looked at my husband in the eye and said, “I’ll handle this.” to which he responded “Okay just be careful because I’m not sure he knows - he might just be acting like it.” But I knew.And I had it in my mind that he was about to break his younger brothers spirit and break the news to him.I was afraid he was going to take the Christmas spirit away from my sweet innocent youngest and stamp all over it.I had to protect him.I needed to control this now before it got out of control.I rushed into the play room where my oldest was playing alone.I looked him dead in the eyes and said: “Wellyou know Santa isn’t real, right?” And as I stared at my eight-year-old son for what seemed like a long time of silence, his eyes started to fill with tears. And a tear dropped down his cheek when he screamed out, “He’s not?”“Um well it’s not that he’s not real (shut up you idiot- stop saying he’s not real), but he doesn’t really make and deliver all the toys.Dad and I get some of them for you.So he’s real.He’s just got a little help from us.”The Evil Genius wasn’t buying it.He just sat there looking at me with an expression of doubt.You know when you make a terrible mistake but you can’t stop yourself from making it worse? That was me because I just had to know.I had to know why he had seemed to be over Santa.So I asked him why he rolled his eyes and sighed every time his father and I mentioned Santa, to which he replied that kids at school had been saying Santa wasn't real but that he still thought he was.1.What’s the best title for the passage?A.Two different sonsB.Santa secret given awayC.Protecting one, ruining the otherD.Making a mistake worse2.What did the writer conclude when “Evil Genius” rolled his eyes and sighed?A.“Evil Genius” had discovered Santa was not real.B.“Evil Genius” had broken the secret to his younger brother.C.“Evil Genius” had passed his Santa-loving years.D.“Evil Genius” had been influenced by his classmates.3.What does the underlined sentence mean in the passage?A.“Evil Genius” refused to buy toys.B.“Evil Genius” didn’t believe his mother’s words.C.“Evil Genius” wanted to keep silent.D.“Evil Genius” would not give away the secret.4.What lesson can we learn from the story?A.Lies can never change facts.B.Honesty is the best policy.C.No one is perfect.D.We should think twice before we act.二、信息匹配(共1小题)5.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,有两项为多余选项。

Bake sales have proven to be highly profitable toward schools with young people because the start-up costs are very small. Allie,a Roslyn High School freshman , agrees that bake sales are needed for school supplies.“l think it’s wrong for schools to ban bake sales because a lot of schools need the money to be raised. Our school could really use the money for new uniforms.”Allie also commented on the bake sales apparent cause of child overweight. “I feel that it is the student’s choice to eat the baked goods. lf they want it, let them have it.”Jessica,another Roslyn High School freshman, had a different opinion.“I feel that children can not always stay away from items such as cupcakes. It might be better if the amount of bake sales were limited, and only allowed students to buy one item.”New York Education advisors are having trouble coming up with substitute product for students to sell. A plan of advertising healthier foods has come into play. However the department needs to consider if students will go for items like vegetables. Allie and Jessica don’t think so.“Students might not like the healthier foods. This way, the schools are gaining less money.”Allie shares. Another plan to think about is the idea of not selling food products altogether. Alternate programs are being conducted throughout New York schools,such as walk-a-thons, as a healthy way for students to earn money for their schools.41.The new “wellness”policy is declared in order to_______.A. help schools out of budget difficultiesB. reduce child overweight caused by bake foodC. help students save money spent on foodD. reduce the price of bake food sold in schools42. Which of the following statement about Allie is true?A. He is rich in experience about the bake sales at schoo1.B. He agrees to carry out the bake sales ban at schools.C. He attaches great importance to the school's income.D. He attaches too much importance to students' health.43. According to Jessica, the cupcakes____________A. Don't belong to the bake salesB. Should't be banned at schoolC. Mustn't be sold at schoolsD. can be fully replaced by vegetables44. Which is both healthy and profitable way for schools to earn money?A. The bake sales.B. The vegetables salesC. The walk-a-thons.D. The food product sales.45. We can infer from the passage that schools in New York always______.A. sell baked food to studentsB. free students to choose foodC. find ways to earn moneyD. offer chances to earn moneyBThe Antarctic Icecap is the largest supply of fresh water,representing nearly 2%of the world’s total of fresh and salt water.

Deep-lying ground water and Arctic Icecap and glaciersC“China is expected to complete its first exploration (探索) of the moon in and will found a moon base just as we did on the North and South Poles,”Ouyang Ziyuan, head of China's moon exploration program, promised during national science and technology week.After its first man in space, China plans a space laboratory, a lunar orbiter to look for valuable elements and minerals, robot landings on the moon and then the human touchdown.The price of space exploration is enormous. Russia and the US, the only two countries to have achieved manned flight, are struggling to keep their new investment, the international space station.But China, which has a long tradition in physics, mathematics and engineering, finds its doctoral graduates welcomed in the US and Europe for decades. And it has been able to learn from 40 years of pioneering successes and mistakes by the USSR and the USA.Space flight is a gamble and the stakes (赌注) are high. If successful, China could become a member of the world's most exclusive club, set up a second home on the moon and get a powerful hand at the strategic bargaining table.Two designers from the Shenzhou III project said that 12 astronauts now are undergoing intensive training. One more unmanned space flight is planned before the first manned launch.Experts say that the Shenzhou spacecraft already provides China with a space vehicle capable of mounting(发起)a lunar program. Chinese scientists have also predicted that Mars will be the next target after the moon.51.According to Ouyang Ziyuan ________.A.China has founded a base on the moonB.China has founded one base on the North and South PolesC.China will set up a base on the moon inD.China has already finished founding a moon base52.The underlined word “touchdown”in the second paragraph means “________”. A.landing B.relation C.connection D.behaviour53.Which one of the following is NOT right according to this passage?A.A second home is going to be built on the moon in .B.China's first man has landed the moon in space.C.People from only two countries have been to the moon till now.D.Twelve Chinese astronauts are being trained for the manned flight to the moon.21.We think that the Chinese astronaut will succeed in landing the moon in because ________.

She says you must study for the examinations for Queen’s College in two years’ time. Then if you do well, you can study at Queen’s in Charlottetown for a year, and after that you’ll be a teacher!”“That doesn’t matter, Anne. When Matthew and I adopted you three years ago, we decided to look after you as well as we could. Of course we’ll pay for you to study.”So in the afternoons Anne and some of her friends stayed late at school, and Miss Stacy helped them with the special examination work. Diana didn’t want to go to Queen’s, so she went home early, but Gilbert stayed. He and Anne still never spoke and everybody knew that they were enemies, because they both wanted to be first in the examination. Secretly, Anne was sorry that she and Gilbert weren’t friends, but it was too late now.For two years, Anne studied hard at school. She enjoyed learning, and Miss Stacy was pleased with her. But she didn’t study all the time. In the evenings and at weekends she visited her friends, or walked through the fields with Diana, or sat talking to Matthew.“Your Anne is a big girl now. She’s taller than you,” Rachel Lynde told Marilla one day.“You’re right, Rachel!” said Marilla in surprise.“And she’s a very good girl now, isn’t she? She doesn’t get into trouble these days. I’m sure she helps you a lot with the housework, Marilla.”“Yes, I don’t know what I’d do without her,” said Marilla, smiling.“And look at her! Those beautiful grey eyes, and that red-brown hair! You know, Marilla, I thought you and Matthew made a mistake when you adopted her. But now I see I was wrong. You’ve looked after her very well.”“Well, thank you, Rachel,” replied Marilla, pleased.That evening, when Matthew came into the kitchen, he saw that his sister was crying.“What’s the matter?” he asked, surprised. “You haven’t cried since… well, I can’t remember when.”“It’s just… well, I was thinking about Anne,” said Marilla. “I’ll…I’ll miss her when she goes away.”“When she goes to Queen’s, you mean? Yes, but she can come home at weekends, on the train.”“I’ll still miss her,” said Marilla sadly.”In June the Avonlea boys and girls had to go to Charlottetown to take their examinations.“Oh, I do hope that I’ve done well,” Anne told Diana when she arrived back at Green Gables.“The examinations were very difficult. And I’ve got to wait for three weeks before I know! Three weeks! I’ll die!”Anne wanted to do better than Gilbert. But she also wanted to do well for Matthew and Marilla. That was very important to her.Diana was the first to hear the news, she ran into the kitchen at Green Gables and shouted, “Look, Anne! It’s in Father’s newspaper! You’re first… with Gilbert… out of all the students on the island! Oh, how wonderful!” Anne took the paper with shaking hands, and saw her name, at the top of the list of two hundred. She could not speak.“Well, now, I knew it,” said Matthew with a warm smile.“You’ve done well, I must say, Anne,” said Marilla, who was secretly very pleased.For the next three weeks Anne and Marilla were very busy. Anne needs new dresses to take to Charlottetown.56. Which of the following statements is true?A. To be a teacher was one of Annes’ dreams.B. Both Anne and Diana studied hard for the special examination.C. Matthew and Marilla were Anne’s parents.D. Anne was adopted by Matthew and Marilla.57. Why are Anne and Gilbert enemies?

While other kids were outside playing ball, Jim was usually reading. He could be found in one of his favorite places: curled up underneath the kitchen table or up in the tree that grew in his front yard.Jim was born in Demopolis, Alabama, during the time of segregation (隔离). Because Jim was Black, he was not allowed to check out a single book at the public library. Libraries were for whites only. The laws of segregation separated Jim from all the books he longed to read. But Jim was determined. He convinced a teacher at school to lend him books of her own. He even managed to get some public library books through a white woman whom his mom worked for doing laundry.When Jim was a teenager, Black Americans’ struggle for equal rights was becoming the civil rights movement. Many brave people were taking risks by refusing to follow unfair segregation laws. Jim went to Montgomery, Alabama, and joined a civil rights group. The group was headed by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Jim believed in King’s nonviolent approach to change. Once, during a peaceful march, Jim was arrested. Because of that, his college expelled him.He did graduate from another college. Afterward, he went on to teach school in Harlem, a part of New York City. As a teacher, he had trouble finding books that interested his Black students. So he decided to write his own books about successful Black Americans. Throughhis writing, he met and interviewed many of the people he admired, including Rosa Parks.Today, libraries have more than one hundred books written by Jim Haskins, the boy who loved to read, and today, children of all races can walk through the doors of any public library and find interesting books that inform, entertain, and inspire them.4.What can we learn from the description in paragraph 1?A.Jim Haskins studied harder than other kids.B.Jim Haskins had no interest in playing ball.C.Jim Haskins was enthusiastic about reading.D.Jim Haskins preferred to read under the table.5.What does the underlined word “expelled” in paragraph 3 mean?A.Dismissed.B.Promoted.C.Praised.D.Monitored. 6.Why was Jim Haskins determined to write his own books?A.To rise to be a famous writer.B.To put an end to segregation.C.To appeal to Black students.D.To introduce the people he admired. 7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Pathways into the Library B.Anxiety for KnowledgeC.Struggle for Equal Rights D.Protest against SegregationHave you ever walked through a door and thought to yourself, “What was I going to do?” If you have, you are not alone. Psychologists believe that walking through a door and entering another room creates a “mental block” in the brain. This is generally referred to as the doorway effect.In the early years of brain research, scientists thought that human memory was like a closet, with many sections in which we could store little boxes of experiences from our lives. Boxes would remain there forever, and whenever we had to look into them, we could just go to that particular section and find that box of memory.Beautiful as this description of human memory formation sounds, it is not true. Our brain is much more complex than that. Psychological studies suggest that our memories are episodic(情节性的)in general. If you think back on anything, you’ll probably quickly realize our memories don’t function as clear narratives. Instead, they’re more episodic and divided into parts.A new research led by psychologist Oliver Baumann from Bond University in Australiasuggests that it’s not so much the doorways that cause a memory wipe, as moving from one location to a significantly different one—it’s the abrupt change of scene that prepares our minds for something new. “A good example is moving around in a department store,” says Baumann, “Taking the elevator between floors may have no effect on our memory, but moving from the store to the parking lot might cause us to forget something that we need to buy.”Baumann also points out that a busy and perhaps overloaded brain does seem to play some part in this phenomenon. In other words, walking through open doors is thought to reset memory to make room for a new episode.The good news is that experiencing such forgettable episodes after entering another room does not tell you anything about your memory and intelligence. So when you enter a room and suddenly forget why you are there, you should not think that Alzheimer’s disease is creeping up on you!8.Which of the following would most probably be “doorway effect”?A.You missed a call and forgot to ring back.B.You read a book and forget what it is about.C.You entered the office and forgot what to get.D.You saw a man years ago and forget who he is now.9.What can we learn from the passage?A.All memories are linked in the brain.B.Memories are clearly separated in the brain.C.Not all the memories can be found in the brain.D.Memories are stored in particular sections of the brain.10.What can we infer from Baumann’s research?A.Taking an elevator stimulates new memory.B.Walking through open doors results in memory loss.C.A sudden change of the scene boosts intelligence development.D.An overloaded brain increases the possibility of doorway effect.11.What does the author think of “doorway effect”?A.Insignificant.B.Beneficial.C.Influential.D.Damaging.There are many sources of debate on a long road trip, including route selection, the choice of snacks ,and, probably most importantly, what to play on the radio. Finding a way for all parties to listen to their own audio without the need for headphones has been a goal of car makers for decades and scientists may have finally managed it.A team from the University of Le Mans in France carefully positioned microphones, speakers and filters (过滤器) to create personalised sound zones (PSZs) inside a car, and the small regions are where sound from a set of speakers can be heard clearly. Outside these, it can not be heard.One barrier which scientists have previously been unable to overcome was the impact of moving one’s seat. They were able to form a PSZ, but unable to move it to follow a person if they moved the seat forwards or backwards.The French team created a new algorithm (算法) specifically to tackle this issue, which handles the sound waves to create “bright” and “dark” zones in the car. “Loudspeakers are placed in the headrests. and specific filters for each transducer (换能器) are calculated to reproduce a sound signal that maintains. good quality in the zone under consideration and is strongly weakened in other zones.” said Dr Lucas Vindrola, the author of the study. “The key to the technique working properly is having sufficient microphones placed around the car to detect how many people are in the car and where they are sitting. The price to pay is to have control microphones in the passenger section, so that the algorithm can work.”However, the technique is not yet ready to be commercially rolled out as a luxurious optional extra just yet, as it currently works only for a limited range of frequencies. 12.What was once a challenge for scientists?A.PSZs could hardly be formed.B.The sound of moving a seat is loud.C.They couldn’t create movable PSZs.D.The seats couldn’t be moved back and forth.13.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.How the impact of moving one’s seat was addressed.B.Why enough microphones are placed around the car.C.When the algorithm can work well for all passengers.D.Where “bright” and “dark” zones are created in the car.14.What can we infer about the new technique?A.It currently works without limitation.B.It has been put into use commercially.C.It can function well with enough microphones.D.It is costly to detect the position of microphones.15.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To launch a new debate.B.To tackle an old problem.C.To advertise an algorithm.D.To introduce a new technology.二、七选五One Second Every DayI’ve been in advertising for eight years and used to work a lot of late nights and weekends for numerous projects. 16 One day I watched a talk called “The power of time off”. It’s about how every seven years, the speaker takes a year off from work so he can do his own creative projects. 17 I decided I had to do that. I need to take time to start my own creative ideas.The first project ends up being something I call “One Second Every Day”. Basically I record one second of every day for the rest of my life, combining these moments into one single continuous video until I can’t record them anymore. 18 There’re many things I have no recollection of unless someone brings them up, and I think, “Oh, that’s something I did.”19 On a good day, I’ll have maybe four seconds I want to choose. I’ll just have to narrow them down to one, but even narrow them down to that one allows me to remember the other three anyway.I don’t use any filters (滤镜), just trying to catch the moment as much as possible as it is.I started a rule of the first person view. Early on, I thought I should have a couple of videos where people would see me, but I realized that wasn’t the way to go. 20 The project has many possibilities. I encourage you all to record just a small piece of your life every day, so you can never forget that day and treasure every moment.A.It instantly inspired me.B.The purpose is to remember what I’ve done.C.I’m always energetic when doing things I love.D.People might have different interpretations of it.E.It’s difficult, sometimes, to pick that one second.F.But I never had time for one I wanted to work on on my own.G.The essence of my project should be recording the thing as I actually see it.三、完形填空The habit of reading is one of the greatest resources of mankind: we enjoy reading books that belong to us much more than if they are borrowed. Some people regard a borrowed bookattitudes are forbidden. Because the book is borrowed, it tolerates no damage which means itThis is huge 25 to one’s imagination.26 , your own books belong to you and you can treat them with so much closeness that you are not afraid to mark it up or to place it in a dirty place. Your own books are there for use, not for 27 . You don’t need to display them in front of others. Private ownership also encourages 28 marking. A good reason for marking instructive passages in books is that this practice enables you to remember more easily the significant sayings, to 29 them quickly and then review them more frequently in the future.Given the importance of owned books to a man, everyone should begin collecting a private library, making up his own 30 property. One should have his own bookshelves, which should not be having doors, glass windows, or keys. They should be free and 31 to the hand as well as the eye. Like the jewellery to a woman, the best moral 32 to a man is books. They are more varied in colour and appearance than any wall-paper. Their variety indicates 33 out of brains of different book writers. The knowledge that books are in plain view is also stimulating. Your body and mind are both 34 . With books at hand, your mind is free to land any 35 or even strange possibility, which eventually gives birth to new discoveries or inventions. 21.A.teacher B.guest C.relative D.servant 22.A.Continual B.Usual C.Casual D.Gradual 23.A.suffer B.store C.destroy D.describe24.A.trends B.goals C.definitions D.points 25.A.discipline B.discouragement C.relief D.reminder 26.A.Oppositely B.Fortunately C.Immediately D.Definitely 27.A.benefit B.profit C.show D.excuse 28.A.tough B.secondary C.sufficient D.meaningful 29.A.stick to B.refer to C.devote to D.adapt to 30.A.public B.economic C.intellectual D.imaginary 31.A.familiar B.effective C.flexible D.accessible 32.A.truth B.decoration C.training D.expense 33.A.simplicity B.creativity C.experiment D.life 34.A.conscious B.calm C.wild D.excited 35.A.fresh B.resourceful C.purposeful D.memorable四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

As I was cutting open the bag, it 2 from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, likemarbles, 3 everywhere. I tried to use a broom, 4 with each swipe they just rolled across the kitchen.For the next week, every time I was in the 5 , I found a pea---in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept 6 . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it,and 7 12 frozen peas hidden underneath.At the time I found those few remaining 8 , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful 9 I’d m et in a support group. After we married, I was reminded 10 those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my 11 had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had shattered(破碎). My wife had died;I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son havingtrouble 12 his new surroundings andthe 13 of his mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered.When life gets you 14 , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll n ever 15 , remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas.

We lived on a farm and, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.One big disadvantage is money---it costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution.I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of travelling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. Onechoice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising---and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十几岁) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.1.What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?A. Staying on the farmB. Moving to the countrysideC. Leaving home for the cityD. Running away from the school2.Which of the following is true about the writer?A. He is very old now.B. He is in good health.C. He prefers driving a car.D. He lives in the city now. 3.In the passage, the writer tries to _______.A. express his opinions about way of lifeB. describe his life in the countrysideC. show an interest in the outside worldD. persuade the reader to live in the city4.How is the passage mainly developed?A. By inferringB. By comparingC. By listing examplesD. By giving explanations3.A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism(瘾), a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. Such behavior has seriously affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log(写日志) on computers and spend long hours at different websites.They become hooked(着迷) on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don’t concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school. Because they can findeverything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate themselves from society and live with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real live friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affectall the world.1.The main idea of the passage is about__________.A. the cause of weboholismB. the advantage of weboholismC. the popularity of weboholismD. the effect of weboholism 2.We can infer from the passage that_______.A. weboholism has the greatest effect on teenagersB. students can hardly balance real and virtual lifeC. people are addicted to games on the InternetD. virtual life is more vivid and attractive than real life. 3.Which of the following is NOT true of weboholism?A. It contributes to the development of the web.B. The chat room language may change social culture.C. The problem will be getting more and more serious later.D. People addicted to the web often become inactive in real life.4.Speaking from my past experience, it is very difficult to find good friends that you can trust but once you have found them, they are worth keeping forever! Therefore, I think friendship is the most important relationship that anybody could have.The qualities I look for in a friend are a good sense of humor but sensitivity when it matters. Also that friend would have to be strong-minded and highly spirited. I think that these qualities are the key qualities to look for in a good friend.Even the strongest friends can still have arguments, although usually about more serious topics, rather than the usual teenagechildish arguments. Some matters can seriously affect a friendship. If one of your friends started experimenting with harmful and dangerous drugs, what would you do ? A good friend would try to help as much as possible, whereas a bad example of a friend would simply shrug(耸肩) and turn a blind eye.Not only the bad things affect friendship ---- good activities do too. Such as bonding with one another, not just by going out on a night with them but by spending quality time with them and talking to each other, which indicates a good ability to communicate. This is a key aspect of a good friendship.Good friends do not always have to be in the same age group as you.I have a good friend and she is 47 years old and I am 16.Unfortunately, some people lose contact with their friends as they grow older, which is a sad way to lose a good friend.I think friendship is one of the most important things in life because if you have no friends you will have no happiness. 1.According to the author, true friendship _______.A. is easy to getB. deepens with timeC. needs managementD. affects one’s happiness 2.Paragraph 3 is mainly about______.A. why drugs are bad for teenagersB. problems that will test friendshipC. ways that help avoid argumentsD. whether a friend is trustworthy3.According to the author, which matters least in friendship?A. Age.B. Sensitivity.C. Sense of humor.D. Communication ability.4.Which of the following saying can match the author’s view on friendship?A. Old friends and old wines are best.B. A friend without faults will never be found.C. A life without a friend is a life without the sun.D. a friend to everybody is a friend to nobody.三、短文改错(共1小题)5.短文改错假英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

ABritain is arguably the great walking nation. About two-thirds of us already head out to stretch our legs once a week. The following festivals offer a wealth of organized walks, but walkers should register in advance.Prestatyn and Clwydian Range festivalVisitors to Wales tend to move west, to either the well-worn tracks of Snowdonia or the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. There are 25 walks packed into the three days, with various options available, including a half-mile Roman-themed adventure, an eight-mile walk exploring the life of 18th-century Welsh naturalist and travel writer ThomasPennant and a 21-mile Offa’s Dyke challenge. All walks are free. Denbighshire, Wales, 19-21 MayOtley walking festivalThis local festival has grown from humble origins in 2000 into a busy schedule of 50 short-distance walks and events celebrating the lives and landscapes of Wharfedale in West Yorkshire. One might enjoy the Five Pubs Walk, Walking With Wine, Four More Pubs or Lost Pubs of Otley. All walks are free, though there is sometimes a small charge for transport.Otley, West Yorkshire, 24 June-3 JulyDartmoor offroading walking festivalDartmoor delights (使高兴) walkers because, while tracks are there to be followed, the lack of wire and other barriers, and the relatively small number of farm buildings on the higher ground, create a sensation of freedom. The six free wheelchair walks, starting daily at 11am, explore Dartmoor’s industrial history, bronze age valuables and Victorian railway builders.Devon, 27 August-2 SeptemberGower walking festivalWith more superb walking options inside a single landscape than perhaps anywhere else, the Gower peninsula (半岛) sometimes feels as if it’s all coast. The further information for this nine-dayfestival, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Wales Coast Path (WCP), has yet to be finalized. Half of the walks offered during the festival will be on the coastal path, 10 adults, over-sixes 6. Glamorgan 2-10 September1. Which festival is friendly to the disabledA. Prestatyn and Clwydian Range festival.B. Otley walking festival.C. Dartmoor offroading walking festival.D. Gower walking festival.2. What do we know about Gower walking festivalA.

They are physically demanding.BIn this new digital era, farmers are finding ways to evolve with the times while still holding fast to their traditions.In the quiet and excluded parts of rural China, Xiang Qing, a man born in 1990, leads a life quite unlike the bustling (熙熙攘攘的)urban existence that defines modernity. His home is Guzhang county, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao autonomous prefecture, which is located deep in western Hunan province. Xiang Qing and his 23-year-old nephew, Xiang Hong, jointly operate a video channel called “Shan Bai”. Through their video s, they showcase handicrafts and rural life in China, captivating (迷住) many young urban viewers.“Life here unfolds at its own pace. We cultivate crops and vegetables and occasionally purchase meat at the market,” Xiang Qing said. “I’ve come across numerou s comments from people who watch our videos while lying in bed at night after a busy day of work, finding them truly relaxing and comforting. I think it’s fantastic, and it’s in line with our initial intentions.”Five years ago, Xiang Qing resigned from his job as a customer service representative in Shanghai and returned to his hometown in Guzhang county, embarking on (开始) a new journey as a video blogger. “Back in 2012, when I was a college student, film-making aroused my passion, and it has continued to be a profound and enduring interest,” he said.Following in his uncle’s footsteps, Xiang Hong made the same life-altering decision. Having graduated from college last year, he also returned to his hometown in April from Changde, a city inHunan, and ventured into the world of video production alongside his uncle.Now their video channel Shan Bai has attracted more than 59.8 million followers. Xiang Qing conceptualizes, films, and edits the videos himself. Xiang Hong serves as the video presenter. Long Lingl ing, Xiang Qing’s wife, manages the day-to-day operations of the video account, and other family members also contribute to the video production process in different ways.4. Why do Xiang Qing and Xiang Hong take video bloggers as their careerA. To pursue personal fame and wealth.B. To financially support their whole family.C To continue their passion for film-making.D. To promote the lifestyle in their hometown.5. What can we learn about Xiang Qing and Xiang HongA. Xiang Qing inspires Xiang Hong in career-making.B. They quit their first job and altered to video making.C. They reached a decision of returning to hometown together.D. They engage in each step of the video production process.6. Which of the following can best describe Xiang Qing and Xiang HongA. Devoted and creative.B. Diligent and optimistic.C. Modest and responsible.D. Ambitious and demanding.7. Where is the text most probably taken fromA. A personal diary.B. A news interview.C. A travel brochure.D. A fashion magazine.COn O ctober 20th comes “Killers of the Flower Moon” from the director Martin Scorsese. At nearly three and a half hours, its length is nearly double that of the average film last year. Even movie fans struggle to concentrate for that long. During the premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May, some viewers dozed off. Afterwards there was a mad dash (and long queue) for the toilets. When did watching a film become such a laborFilm-makers started producing long-lasting movies at a rapid pace in the early 1960s. Cinema was booming and filmmakers wanted to distinguish their art from television. Epics surpassing the three-and-a-half hour mark graced the silver screen. Back then, audiences enjoyed an interval while the projectionist prepared the reels for the next act. Runtimes of popular films experienced ups and downs over subsequent decades. But they have ballooned since 2018.Movie series is one driver of this trend. Studios want to squeeze the most out of their costly intellectual property, but they arecompeting with streaming platforms for eyeballs. The hope is that a spectacular, drawn-out blockbuster (大片) will tempt audiences away from the small screen and into cinemas. This approach has often paid off: “Avengers: Endgame” (2019), which showcased Marvel superheroes remarkably with a runtime of three hours, achieved the highest box office revenue among all films in that year. Anything that attracts people away from their sofas to see a film in theatres is good news for cinemas. But lengthy runtimes also pose a “fundamental problem”, complains Clare Binns of Picturehouse, a British cinema group and film distributor. Long movies can mean abandoning two showings per night, which hurts ticket sales and profits.Another explanation for longer films has to do with dire ctors’ growing influence. Who would dare tell the likes of Mr Nolan to shorten his masterpieces Streamers, which do not have to worry as much about concision because viewers can pause whenever they like, may attract big names with deep pockets and promises of creative freedom. “Killers of the Flower Moon” will debut on AppleTV+ after its theatrical release.8. What can we learn from paragraph 1A. Movie fans tend to have a dislike for long movies.B. Movie theaters should provide adequate restrooms.C. The average movie fan cannot focus for over three hours.D. Long movies affect audience engagement and physical comfort.9. What does the underlined word “ballooned” mean in paragraph 2A. Expanded with air.B. Made great profits.C. Enjoyed great popularityD. Increased rapidly in length.10. Why does the author mention the movie “Avengers: Endgame”A. To demonstrate the trend of longer movies.B. To highlight the success of Marvel series.C. To illustrate the strong appeal of movie series.D To emphasize the studio-streaming platform contest.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the textA. Movie Marathons: Past and PresentB. Long Movies: Impacts and ReasonsC. Filmmaking: Challenges and RewardsD. Streaming Platforms: Promising and ProfitableDTwo and a half millennia ago, Socrates complained that writing would harm students. With a way to store ideas permanently and externally, they would no longer need to memorize. However, studies today have found that writing on paper can improve everything from recalling a random series of words to betterunderstanding complex concepts.For learning material by repetition, the benefits of using a pen or pencil lie in how the motor and sensory memory of putting words on paper reinforces that material. The scribbling (涂鸦) on a page feeds into visual memory: people might remember a word they wrote down in French class as being at the bottom-left on a page. One of the best-demonstrated advantages of writing by hand seems to be in note-taking. Students typing on computers wrote down almost twice as many words directly from lectures, suggesting they were not understanding so much as rapidly copying the material. However, handwriting forces note-takers to process and organize ideas into their own words. This aids conceptual understanding at the moment of writing, resulting in better performance on tests.Many studies have confirmed handwriting’s benefits, and policymakers have taken note. Though America’s curriculum from 2010 does not require handwriting instruction past first grade (roughly age six), about half the states since then have required more teaching of it. In Sweden there is a push for more handwriting and printed books and fewer devices. England’s national curriculum already includes the teaching of basic cursive writing (连写体) skills by age seven.However, several school systems in America have gone so far as to ban most laptops. This is too extreme. Some students have disabilities that make handwriting especially hard. Nearly all will eventually need typing skills. Virginia Berninger, professor of psychology at the University of Washington, is a longtime advocate of handwriting. But she is not a purist; she says there are research tested benefits for “manuscript” print-style writing but also for typing.Socrates may or may not have had a point about the downsides of writing. But no one would remember, much less care, if his student Plato had not noted it down for the benefit of future generations.12. According to the text, why does writing on paper have benefits for learningA. It provides visual enjoyment in class.B. It improves the effect of memorization.C. It promotes the motor and sensory ability.D. It helps to remember the information forever.13. How does the author show the emphasis on handwriting instruction at schoolA. By giving examples.B. By providing statistics.C. By making comparisons.D. By making classification.14. What is paragraph 5 mainly aboutA. Difficulties faced by the disabled.B. Unreasonableness of forbidding typing.C. The research-tested benefits of typing.D. The longtime advocacy for handwriting.15. Why does the writer mention Socrates and Plato in the last paragraphA. To thank Plato for his efforts.B. To defend Socrates’ point of view.C. To show people’s indifference to typing.D. To confirm the importance of handwriting.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5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。

Think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes on sale.There are labels(标签) inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes. The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash in cold water. The label on a coat may say “dry clean only”, for washing may ruin this coat. If you do as the directions(说明)on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best for a long time.Many clothes today must be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check to see if they will need to be dry cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed.You can save money if you buy clothes that are well-made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times. Clothes that cost more money are not necessarily better made. They do not always fit better. Sometimes less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes.21.If you want to save money, you had better buy clothes that .A. don’t fit youB. don’t last longC. can be washedD. need to be dry cleaned22.The labels inside the clothes tell you .A. how to save moneyB. how to keep the clothes looking their bestC. whether the clothes fit you or notD. where to get the clothes dry cleaned23.We learn from the passage that cheaper clothes .A. are always worse madeB. must be dry cleanedC. cannot be washedD. can sometimes fit you better24.The best title for the passage should be .A. Being a Clever Clothes ShopperB. Taking Enough Money When ShoppingC. Buy Less Expensive ClothesD. Choosing the Labels inside New ClothesBEverybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry.He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up his alarm clock. He tried to shave(刮脸)quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing(熨), so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter(表). He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all.

Maybe the writer doesn’t like thrillers.DProfessor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact(互动)these days. The term is “networked individualism”. This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to haveopposite meanings. How can we be individuals(个体)and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that’s a good thing. Why?In the past, many people were worried that the internet isolated(孤立)us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real people than expected —helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.Thanks to the computer, we are able to be alone and together with other people—at the same time!32. The underlined phrase “networked individualism” probably means that by using computers people .A.are able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other peopleB. have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interestC. do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other peopleD. stick to their own ways no matter what other people say33. According to the Pew study, what do many people rely on to make major life decisions?A. Networks.B. Friends.C. Phones.D. Parents.34. It can be inferred from the Pew study that .A. people have been separated from each other by using computersB. the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonelyC. the Internet has become a new tool for a new kind of social communicationD. a lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing35. Which would be the best title for this passage?A. We’re Alone Together on the InternetB. We’re Communicating on the InternetC. We’re Alone on the InternetD. We’re in the Imaginary World of the Internet.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。
