AThere are many things we need to know that we do not learn at school. For example, if we want to use our money wisely, we need to shop carefully. We need to know how to compare the prices of the things in different shops. We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands(品牌). We need to know how to make a choice when we shop. Knowing how to make such choices is a “life skill”, and we need these skills if we are to live useful and happy lives.Some of these choices are small. For example, will I take an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I go to school by bus or on foot? Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies? Other choices are more important. For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is tastier? Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like this every day.We have to realize that the choices we make can affect（影响）the rest of our lives. Just as importantly, our choices can also affect other people. The next time you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies, think about this: Who else doesyour choice affect?56.

She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice. In November I was finally able to get her back to her “home”.Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days. When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen, she was very sad. Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy, I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!On Christmas Eve, I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church that night.Instead of taking her to my church, I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were. We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in. Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her.The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there.The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift: the smile on Alice’s face.64.

What is the best title for this passage?A. A special candlelight Christmas EveB. The dream of an oldlonely ladyC. A real presentD. The true loveDThe American book Who Moved My Cheese has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don't be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changingfrom having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two "little people" and some cheese(奶酪).The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can't change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can't do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.68. What does the text mainly discussA. Never change in our lifeB. Change when you like to doC. Change with the changesD. Pay attention to the changes.69. The underlined word "four"(paragraph 3)refers to ______.A. Mice and little peopleB. StudentsC. CheeseD.Readers70. In our lives, we should learn from _________.A. miceB. little peopleC. ChrisD. Spence Johnson71. Which of the following statements is trueA. The author is BritainB. There are three terms in every school.C. Most teens don't understand Chris' storyD. The book tells teens how to face changes in their livesEWhen friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time telling us they are in a hurry and looking at their watches. It isn’t that our friends are all very busy, it is just that we haven’t got a television. People think t hat we are very strange. “But what do you do in the evening?”，they are always asking. The answer is very simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly don’t spend our evenings staring at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages. This is particularly useful as we often go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and I’m always busy with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to the music and playing chess together. Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us, we just light candles and carry on with what wewere doing before. Our friends, however, are lost---no television!---So they don’t know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full ---they all come to us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and plays games.72. The couple have not got a television, because .A. they are not rich enoughB. they are strange peopleC. they enjoy spending evenings in their own waysD. they don’t know what to do when there are power cuts73.

AMy father was a self-taught mandolin（一种琵琶乐器）player. He was one of the best string instrument players in our town .He could not read music，but if he heard a tune a few times，he could play it. When he was young，he was a member of a small country music band. They would play at local dances and on a few occasions would play for the local radio station. He often told us how he had auditioned（试音）and earned a position in a band that featured Patsy Cline as their lead singer.Occasionally，Dad would get out his mandolin and play for the family. We three children would often sing along. Dad loved to play the mandolin for his family. He knew we enjoyed singing and hearing him play. He was like that. If he could give pleasure to others，he would，especially his family. I had to mature into a man and have children of my own before I realized how much he had sacrificed.In 1950，our family moved. Dundalk and Dad found a job at Todd Steel. One day he was involved in an accident and got the third index finger of his left hand mashed between two pieces of steel. He didn't lose enough of the finger where it would stop him picking up anything，but it did impact his ability to play the mandolin.After the accident，Dad was reluctant to play the mandolin. He felt that he could not play as well as he used to. When I came home on leave and asked him to play he would make excuses for why he couldn't play. Eventually，we would wear him down and agreed to play. For the family it didn't make any difference that Dad couldn't play as well. We were just glad that he would play.

The father was the best string instrument player.C. The father was diligent in playing the mandolin.D.

It then caught fire. By the time we arrived，it was just a pile of ash.”The fireman added: “The entire building had to be evacuated（疏散）and there was severe smoke damage particularly in the flat where the robot had been in use.

Same with the smog,”says artist Daan Roosegaarde.His studio has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of tile capital's parks.With its skies regularly covered by dirty gray smog，Beijing this week announced a series of emergency measures to handle the problem.Roosegaarde says an indoor model device has already proven it works and is confident that the results — with the help of a team of scientists and engineers — can be replicated outside.“Beijing is quite a good place because the smog in Beijing is quite low. It lies in a valley so there's not so much wind. It's a good environment to explore this kind of thing.”“We'll be able to purify the air and the challenge is to get the top of the smog so you can see the sun again.”Roosegaarde acknowledges that projects like this are a way of drawing attention to the problem，rather than a practical solution to Beijing's awful air pollution.“This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer has to do with clean cars，different industry and different lifestyles.”However，he hopes the project will make a “fundamental statement”by allowing the city's people to realize the difference between breathing clean and smog-filled air.47. The device works by _______.A. helping keep the particles out with more masksB. pulling pollutants to the ground with an electromagnetic fieldC. absorbing hair with a balloon with staticD. creating clean air and let it out into the sky48. According to the passage，_______ .A. the Beijing government has agreed to use the technology in BeijingB. they have proven the results of the device both indoors and outdoorsC. the results of the air-cleaning device can be expectableD. the Beijing government has never done anything to handle the air pollution49. What does Roosegaarde really mean by saying “Beijing is quite a good place...”?A. The air pollution in Beijing is not quite serious.B. The weather in Beijing is good for foreigners to live in.C. Beijing is quite fit for using the air-cleaning device.D. It is easy to get the top of the smog in Beijing.50. The underlined word “replicated”in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.A. reproducedB. destroyedC. worriedD. described51. Roosegaarde appeals to people in Beijing to ________.A. pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finallyB. invent more devices to clean the smog in BeijingC. drive modern cars and try different lifestylesD. realize how serious the pollution they're facing is52. According to Roosegaarde，the smog in Beijing is mainly caused by ______.A .the climate changing of the whole worldB. the local industry，cars and lifestylesC. government's emergency measuresD. inefficiency of air-cleaning devicesDThe intelligence times provide us much convenience，but at the same time，some of our abilities are being weakened gradually.1. Memorizing phone numbersIt was annoying to remember numbers. Now we simply add them to our contacts list. That usually works well unless our device is lost，stolen，or damaged. No one can be expected to remember all their contact numbers. What we can do is memorize 5 of our most important contact numbers. This should include a mixture of family，friends and business. If you're really ambitious you can memorize 5 contacts for each category.2. Map-reading skillsThe convenience and effectiveness of GPS guidance systems and digital maps generated by search engines is unquestionable. They've definitely made our lives easier. What we don't get from using these devices and applications is the increased ability to understand spatial orientation （空间方向）and navigation.To renew or acquire those skills，try using physical maps to plan your next trip. After a few trips，you'll be pleasantly surprised with how useful a physical map can be.3. PhotographyEven amateur photography requires a basic learning about lighting，depth，and composition. This is true for digital photography. Most smart cameras automatically make these adjustments. We no longer have to learn the art of photography. On most devices，this is easily changed by turning off the automatic settings. Experiment with setting by hand the scene modes，lighting，and zoom. You just may learn that you're a “true photographer”.4. Reading comprehensionThe primary cause is E-reader. They're convenient and can store thousands of books. But there's evidence that E-reader makes it more difficult for readers to keep and recall information they just read. Don't worry! What we should do is make an effort to read printed books. This will be especially helpful when seeking information we need for academic or career purposes.5.Hand-written correspondence（通信）Writing letters and notes include hand writing skills，organizational skills，and learning about the person or persons you correspond with. This is another easily regained skill. Send a letter to an old friend，relative or acquaintance.53. What's the disadvantage by adding all numbers to the contacts list?A. We might lose all our phone numbers accidentally.B. It's hard to find the number from the contacts list.C. We may only have the ability to remember 5 numbers.D. Our device is more easily damaged or stolen.54. To acquire the skills of spatial orientation and navigation，it's necessary for one to ______.A. use the GPS guidance systemsB. accept the convenience of digital mapsC. use physical maps instead of digital onesD. plan some trips now and then55. To make yourself a “true photographer”，you ______.A. must make it clear how the digital camera works itselfB. have to make your camera do the adjustments automaticallyC. had better try to set the scene modes，lighting，and zoom by handD. don't need to learn the art of photography56 .E-readers are thought to weaken our reading comprehension because ______.A. they are convenient and can store thousands of booksB. they make it more difficult for us to recall informationC. less people can afford to buy E-readersD. people are not fond of reading printed books nowadays57. The author encourages us to send a letter to old friends so that we can ______.A.1earn to know how to get in touch with our friendsB. easily know whether they will write you back or notC. make sure of the importance of communicationD. renew hand writing skills and organizational skills58. The author of the text seems to ______.A. be worried that we might lose some basic abilities in intelligence societyB. point out to us the abilities one should have for adapting to the modem societyC. be glad that people will regain these abilities by using them often in daily lifeD. find out that these abilities will probably make modern people different from beforeEFreezing weather can mean frostbite and hypothermia unless a person is prepared. Frostbite is damage that happens when skin is exposed to extreme cold for too long. It mainly happens on the hands，feet，nose and ears. Hypothermia is a condition that develops when the body cannotproduce as much heat as it releases. Signs of hypothermia include uncontrollable shaking，very slow breathing and difficulty in thinking clearly. Hypothermia can lead to death if the person does not receive help.To avoid cold-related injuries，here is a simple way to remember four basic steps to staying warm.Think of COLD—C.O.L.D.The C stands for cover. Wear a hat and scarf to keep heat from escaping through the head，neck and ears. And wear mittens instead of gloves. In gloves，the fingers are separated，so the hands might not stay as warm as they would in mittens.The O stands for overexertion（用力过度）．Avoid activities that will make you sweaty. Wet clothes and cold weather are a dangerous combination.L is for layers. Wearing loose，lightweight clothes，one layer on top of another，is better than wearing a single heavy layer of clothing. Make sure outerwear is made of material that is water-resistant and tightly knit.D is for dry. In other words，stay as dry as possible. Pay attention to the places where snow can enter clothing. These include the tops of boots，the necks of coats and the wrist areas of mittens or gloves.And here are two other things to keep in mind—one for children and the other for adults. Eating snow might be fun but it lowers the body's temperature. And drinking alcohol might makea person feel warm. But what it really does is to weaken the body's ability to hold heat.59. What is the best title of this text?A. Frostbite and Hypothermia Are Often Seen in WinterB. Wet Clothes and Cold Weather Are a Dangerous CombinationC. How to Stay Warm and Safe in Freezing WeatherD. Alcohol Can Weaken the Body's Ability to Hold Heat.60. Which of the following is not a sign of hypothermia?A. Uncontrollable shaking.B. Very slow breathing.C. Difficulty in thinking clearly.D. Having too much sweat.61. Which of the following pictures is a mitten?62. Which way is not proper if you want to keep dry in winter?A. Wearing a coat with tight neck.B. Eating clean snow.C. Wearing water-resistant clothes.D. Letting no snow enter boots.63. Which of the following is right for us to do in freezing weather?A. Carrying alcohol and drinking often.B. Wearing a single heavy layer of clothing.C. Working hard to make ourselves sweaty.D. Wearing loose clothing of more layers.阅读理解：36—40 BDBDC 41—45 ABABC 46—50 CBCCA 51—55 ABACC 56—60 BDACD 61—63 DBD。

AIs there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦).Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeli ng begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it. Accept itInstead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and acceptit. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.Stop making excuses for itYou may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.Forgive and forget itYou probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.36.

Some of them follow their own cultural traditions. It’s important for us to know about them.●In many countries, such as Thailand, India and Malaysia, people believe that the left hand is unclean.

When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill, she noticed my Louisiana license plate. “You from New Orleans?” she asked. I said I was, “No charge.” She said, and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet. The next day I went for a haircut, and the same thing happened.As my wife was studying in Florida, we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage(抵押贷款) on our ruined house. We looked at many places, but none was satisfactory. We’d began to accept that we’d have to live inextremely reduced circumstances for a while, when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kenn edy in California. He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for state, the online magazine and wanted to give us (“no conditions attached”) a new house across the lake from New Orleans. It sounded a good to her return, but I replied, thinking him for his exceptional generosity, then we to go back. Then the University of Florida offered to let him house to me. While he want to England on his one year, paid leave. The rent was rather reasonable. I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Ke nnedy, and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months.Throughout this painful experience, the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity.

中职英语期中模拟考试试题：阅读理解阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AThe Swedish Academy in Stockholm on Thursday named Mo Yan winner of the Twenty-Twelve Nobel Prize in Literature.The academy praised the Chines e writer for what it called his “hallucinatoty realism (魔幻现实主义)”. It noted his ability to combine folk stories, history and modern events in his works.An academy official said Mister Mo was “overjoyed and sacred” when he learnt he had won the award. He will receive his Nobel diploma, a medal and more than one million dollars at the ceremony in Stockholm in December.Mo Yan is a leading author of modern Chinese novels. He often writes from memories of his youth. He also sets many of his stories in the area where he was born—Shandong Province in northeastern China.Mister Mo’s 1987 book Red Sorghum is an example. It is about the extreme violence in rural eastern China during the Communist Revolution in the 1920’s and 1930’s. The story describes the criminal c ulture of the time, Japan’s occupation and the terrible conditions faced by farm workers. Red Sorghum was later made into a movie.Mo Yan’s other major works include Big Breasts and Wide Hips, Republic of Wine and Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out.The Royal Swedish Academy compared him to two 20th century writers: American William Faulkner and Colombia Gabriel Marquez.Mo Yan’s real name is Guan Moye. Mo Yan means “Don’t speak.” The writer said he chose the name to remember to stop his tongue from getting him in trouble.China is celebrating the victory of his native son. Minutes after the award was announced, millions of Chinese expressed pleasure and pride for Mo Yan on social media websites.56. How many books of Mo Yan are mentioned in this passage?A. Three.B.

This new finding suggests that insects may use some of the same methods that birds use for traveling long distances. Scientists have long thought that insects were simply at the mercy of the wind.Fascinating as their skills of flight are, migrating behavior has been difficult to study in insects because many long distant trips happen thousands of feet above ground. Only recently have scientists developed technologies that can detect such little creatures at such great heights.To their surprise, though, the insects weren't passive travelers on the winds. In autumn, for example, most light winds blew from the east, but the insects somehow sought out ones that carried them south and they positioned themselves to navigate directly to their wintering homes.Even in the spring, when most winds flowed northward, the insects didn't always go with the flow. If breezes weren't blowing in the exact direction they wanted to go, the insects changed their body positions to compensate(补偿, 弥补). Many migrating birds do the same thing.The study also found that butterflies and moths actively flew within the air streams that pushed them along. By adding flight speeds to wind speeds, the scientists calculated that butterflies and moths can travel as fast as 100 kilometers an hour. The findings may have real-world applications. With climate warming, migrating insects are growing in number. Knowing how and when these pests move could help farmers decide when to spray their crops.63. What's the main idea of the text?A. Insects migrate with the seasons.B. The wind helps insects greatly in migrating.C. Windsurfing insects have real direction.D. Scientists have trouble in observing insects.64. Scientists originally thought that _____.A. insects always waited for their favorable windsB. insects chose the winds they wanted to rideC. insects were just blown about by the windD. insects positioned themselves in the winds65. It is not easy to study the migrating behavior of the insects because ______.A. the little creatures can fly very fastB. their flight is long and high above groundC. the wind's direction is hard to forecastD. they have no regular migrating courses66. According to the passage, the findings can ____A. increase insects in numberB. instruct farmers when to spray their cropsC. prevent climate warmingD. help protect insectsD“To be or not to be.”Outside the Bible, these six words are the most famous in all the literature of the world. They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but also for every thinking man and woman. To be or not to be, to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly, or to live dully and meanly. A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally. He answered it by saying: “I think, therefore I am.”But the best definition of existence I ever saw was one written by another philosopher who said: “To be is to be in relations.” If this is true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive. To live abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity(强烈) of our relations. Unfortunately we are so constituted that we get to love our routine. But other than our regular occupation, how much are we alive? If you are interested only in your regular occupation, you are alive only to that extent. So far as other things are concerned --- poetry and prose(散文), music, pictures, sports, unselfish friendships, politics, international affairs ---you are dead.On the contrary, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest --- even more, a new accomplishment(成就) --- you increase your power of life. No one who is deeply interested in different kinds of subjects can remain unhappy. The real pessimist is the person who has lost interest.Bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend. But we gain new life by contacts with new friends, and new ideas and thoughts, too. Where your thoughts are, there will be your life too. If your thoughts are limited only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to your narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live a narrow restricted(有限的, 受约束的) life. But if you are interested in what is going on in China, then you are living in China. I f you’re interested in the characters of a good novel, then you are living with those highly interesting people. If you listen intently to fine music, you are away from your immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion and imagination.To be or not to be --- to live intensely and richly, or merely to exist, which depends on ourselves. Let us widen and intensify our relations. While we live, let us live!67. What does the author mainly want to do by this passage?A. Argue against an idea.B. Explain some famous sayings.C. Introduce some famous sayings.D. Put forward an idea.68. What does the underlined word most probably mean?A. Somebody who always lives in a world of passion and imagination.B. Somebody who is always interested in making new friends.C. Somebody who always expects the worst to happen.D. Somebody who likes to live a rich and abundant life.69. Which of the following behavior is probably NOT encouraged by the author?A. Thinking more than your own business.B. Caring only about your physical welfare.C. Reading good novels.D. Listening to fine music.70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. To be is to be in relations.B. I think, therefore I am.C. To be or not to be, that is a question.D. A man dies as often as he loses a friend.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。

中职英语期中模拟考试试题：阅读理解阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30 分）AOne 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 ab out, 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 whe n 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.56. 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. p eople spent a long time in learning to keep animals57. In the teacher’s opinion, Lucy’s argument was ______A. shockingB. ridiculousC. puzzlingD. reasonable58. 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.59. 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 nomads.BHas Tiger Mom gone soft? One year after the release of her book, "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother," Amy Chua is back in the spotlight, reflecting on how overnight infamy（恶名）affected her life, her family and her parenting."I've changed a lot," she told The Huffington Post. "In October, we had 30 kidsat our house! We've hosted parties with lots of food and music."Last January, the Wall Street Journal published an excerpt（节选）from Chua's book with the headline "Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior." In the excerpt, Chua described how her daughters were never allowed to have sleepovers（在外过夜的儿童聚会）, appear in school plays, earn any grade lower than an A . Chua, an author and professor at Yale Law School, spent much of 2011 on the defensive. In fact, many of her interviews seemed to lend fuel to her critics' fire.Now, with the book out in paperback（简装）,she said, "I put passages in the book and used very harsh words that I regret. Everybody has those moments you wish you could take back." Many of the scenes she described in the book are a far cry from the child-raising methods she advocates.For those who still read "Battle Hymn" as an advice guide, Chua argues thatso-called tiger parenting should be employed mainly during a child's early years, ideally between the ages of 5 and 12. These "super-strict parenting methods" are not meant for all ages. Remaining strict after middle school makes you a helicopter parent, according to Chua. And she is quick to point out how different that is from being a tiger mom."By the time kids get to high school, helicopter parents are hiring all these tutors, carrying their kids' sports bags. I never checked older daughter Sophia's papers because I knew she knew how to sit down and focus," Chua said.As for younger daughter Lulu, 15, the rebel for whom the book was written, Chua has really backed off. Instead of forcing Lulu to practice violin for hours a day -- the source of their biggest fights, Chua "let her give that up". "My compromise is that I'm going to still be as strict academically, but in exchange she has a lot of socialfreedom. Lulu has had four sleepovers in the last two months!" Chua said. "Chua predicts she'll only get more easygoing with age.60. From Paragraph 1 we can know that after the publication of the book_____.A. Tiger Mom became stricter with her childrenB. Tiger Mom was thought highly by the publicC. Tiger Mom’s life and family were influencedD. Tiger Mom became wealthy and easygoing61. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Tiger Mom has changed and wants to be soft.B. Tiger Mom persuaded readers to follow her example.C. How Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother came out.D. How Tiger Mom became the worldwide spotlight.62. What does the underlined phrase “a far cry from” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. similar toB. just the same asC. very different fromD. a cry far from63. What is the writer’s attitude towards Tiger Mom?A. supportiveB. opposedC. unconcernedD. objectiveCSunny countries are often poor. A shame, then, that solar power is still quite expensive. Eight19, a British company by Cambridge University, has, however, invented a novel way to get round this. In return for a deposit of around $10 it is supplying poor Kenyan families with a solar cell able to generate 2.5 watts of electricity, a battery that can deliver a three amp（安培）current to store this electricity, and a lamp whose bulb is a light-emitting diode（二极管）.The firm thinks that this system, once the battery is fully charged, is enough to light two small rooms and to power a mobile-phone charger for seven hours. Then, next day, it can be put outside and charged back up again.The trick is that, to be able to use the electricity, the system's keeper must buy a scratch card—for as little as a dollar—on which is printed a reference number. The keeper sends this reference, plus the serial number of the household solar unit, by SMS to Eight19. The company's server will respond automatically with an access code to the unit.Users may consider that they are paying an hourly rate for their electricity. In fact, they are paying off the cost of the unit. After buying around $80 worth of scratch cards—which Eight19 expects would take the average family around 18 months—the user will own it. He will then have the option of continuing to use it for nothing, or of trading it in for a bigger one, perhaps driven by a 10-watt solar cell.In that case, he would go then through the same process again, paying off the additional cost of the upgraded kit at a slightly higher rate. Users would therefore increase their electricity supply steadily and affordably.According to Eight19's figures, this looks like a good deal for customers. The firm believes the average energy-starved Kenyan spends around $10 a month on oil—enough to fuel a couple of smoky lamps—plus $2 on charging his mobile phone in the market-place. Regular users of one of Eight19's basic solar units will spend around half that, before owning it completely. Meanwhile, as the cost of solar technology falls, it should get even cheaper.64. What should the user do when the electricity in the battery is used up?A. Recharge it outside.B. Buy another solar cell.C. Return it to the company.D. Buy a scratch card.65. How much would users pay for the cell and scratch cards before they own a 2.5-watt solar cell?A. Around $10.B. Around $80.C. Around $180.D. Around $90.66. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.A. Kenyan families would find it difficult to afford the solar cellB. the company will make a great profit from selling solar cellsC. few Kenyan families use mobile phones for lack of electricityD. using the solar cell would help Kenyan families save money67. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Solar Energy: Starting from Scratch.B. Eight19: a creative British Company.C. Kenyan Families: Using Solar Energy for Free.D. Poor Countries: Beginning to Use Solar Energy.DHappiness is contagious (有感染力的), as researchers reported on Thursday.People with the most social connections — spouses, friends, neighbors and relatives — were also the happiest, the data showed. “Each additional happy person makes you happier,” Christakis said.“Imagine that I am connected to you and you are connected to others and others are connected to still others. It is this fabric of humanit y, like an American patch quilt.”Each pe rson sits on a different colored patch. “Imagine that these patches are happy and unhappy patches. Your happiness depends on what is going on in the patch around you,” Christakis said.“It is not just happy people connecting with happy people, which they do. Above and beyond, there is this contagious process going on.”And happiness is more contagious than unhappiness, they discovered.“If a social contact is happy, it increases the likelihood that you are happy by 15 percent, ” Fowler said. “A friend of a friend, or the friend of a spouse or a sibling (兄弟姐妹), if they are happy, increases your chances by 10 percent,” he added.A happy third degree friend — the friend of a friend of a friend —increases a person’s chances of being happy by 6 percent.“But every extra unhappy friend increases the likelihood that you’ll be unhappy by 7 percent,” Fowler said.The finding is interesting and it is useful, too, Fowler said.“Among other benefits, happiness has been shown to have an important effect on reduced mortality (死亡率), pain reduction, and improved cardiac (心脏的) function. So better understanding of how happiness spreads can help us learn how to develop a healthier society,” he said.The study also fits in with other data suggested in 1984 that having $ 5,000 extra increased a person’s chances of becoming happier by about 2 percent.“A happy friend is worth about $ 20,000,” Christakis said.68. It can be inferred that________.A. happiness spreads as fast and widely as unhappinessB. unhappiness spreads faster and more widely than happinessC. happiness spreads faster and more widely than unhappinessD. the spread of unhappiness has not been studied by researchers69. Which of the following will increase your chances of becoming happier most?A. Being in a party with a happy atmosphere.B. A happy experience of your brother or your parents.C. A happy trip to a foreign country of your friends.D. Happiness of your friend’s friend.70. What does Christakis mean by saying “A happy friend is worth about $ 20,000”?A. A happy friend can help you bring in a wealth of $ 20,000.B. A happy friend is a wealth which is worth about $ 20,000.C. A happy friend increases your chances of being happy by 2%.D. A happy friend increases your chances of being happy by 8 %.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。

We’re happy to say that Greg is back in the classroom—which is a good thing for him, for his students and for the wider community. Here’s his story.At the age of 6 he was paralyzed from the neck down in an accident. He was told he would never walk, never play football and never feed himself. He proved the doctors wrong! He can do all these things and much more. His determination continues to thrive.Greg Perry graduated from Ohio State University with a joint degree in marketing and education. To him, the education degree was just a bulwark（保障）against the misfortune, so there are probably few people as surprised as Perry that before the age of 40, he would have drawn national attention for his teaching, orchestrated (精心安排) the building of a model classroom and inspired his students to launch the largest green business expo ever staged in Ohio.Perry teaches an innovative high school marketing class in Beachwood, Ohio, a city of about 12,000 in the Cleveland suburbs. Students from several area schools travel a long distance to Beachwood High School for a class unlike any other. He has led the class of 18 to create the “ULTIMATE GREEN CLASSROOM”. Under his direction the largest Eco–Friendly Showcase in Ohio was held and about $150,000 was raised in Green goods and services to build the unbelievable classroom. Elected executive officers help Perry run the class, and for much of the year, the focus is on lining of exhibitors for The Green Dream, the green business expo that is expected to draw more than 6,000 people this Spring.“Sales people are maki ng phone calls to line up exhibitors in the expo. Finance is handling the contracts and payments. Marketing and Communications and Publications and Websites are trying to promote the message.” Perry said. “It’s more like a day at work than a day at the classroom. By doing these large projects, they learn about branding, advertising, management styles and marketing techniques without every picking up the textbooks.”61．Greg Perry’s students think that ________.A．he is gifted and creative B．he is unsteady and intenseC．he deserves the award D．his business is successful 62．According to Greg Perry, ________.A．his winning for his teaching is unexpected B．his recovery is a really unexpected wonderC．education degree is a must to improve life D．the award should belong to him for his teaching63．From the passage, what is Greg Perry?A．He is a university student majoring marketing and education.B．He is a teacher of a high school in Ohio.C．He is a doctor who specializes in treating paralysis.D．He is a professor teaching in an Ohio university.64．Which of the following about Beachwood High School is true?A．It lies in the middle of the city. B．Most of the students are boarding.C．The class size is probably small. D．All the classrooms are painted green. 65．What can we learn from the text?A．Greg Perry’s classes are connected with some companies and websites.B．Greg Perry’s students never use text books in their learning at all.C．Greg Perry’s students work in workshops ra ther than in the classroom.D．Greg Perry’s students learned a lot of useful skills in an economical way.CBEING an astronaut sounds cool, doesn’t it? In space, they get to do some pretty amazing things, like floating in zero gravity.However, there are al so plenty of things that astronauts can’t do because of their weightless environment, and that’s very sad. What’s worse, they can’t even let their sadness show – because it’s impossible to cry in zero gravity.Of course, astronauts can still produce tears. But crying is much more difficult in space, reported The Atlantic in January. Without gravity, tears don’t flow downward out of the eyes like they do here on Earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go –they just stick to your eyes.In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. “Tears,” he said, “don’t fall off of your eye ... They just kind of stay there.”Besides making your vision unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But that’s not the case in space. The space environment dries out astronauts’ eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. “My right eye is painful like crazy.” Feustel told his teammate during the walk.Since gravity doesn’t work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait –“When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eye and float around,” astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic.There are lots of small things –things like crying –that we are so used to on Earth. We usually take them for granted, until they become a problem in a totally different environment, like space. There, astronauts can’t talk to each other directly. They also can’t eat or drink in normal ways. They can’t even burp (打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up (呕吐) everything in their stomach, according to the UK National Space Center.Thus, perhaps it’s only space explorers who can honestly say: “Gravity, you’re the best.”66．What can we conclude from paragraphs 2 and 3?A．Astronauts are unable to feel sad in space.B．Astronauts produce fewer tears in space.C．Tears produced in space flow down more slowly.D．Tears produced in space don’t flow downward.67．What effect do tears have on astronauts?A．They cause physical pain. B．They bring comfort to them.C．They make their vision clearer. D．They float around and cause trouble. 68．What can the astronaut do to get rid of the tears?A．Rub his eyes against his helmet to let the tears float forward.B．Rub his eyes by hand to let the tears float around.C．Get the tears big enough to fall off of his eyes.D．Get the tears big enough to break away from his eyes.69．What’s the second-to-last paragraph mainly about?A．Suggestions on how astronauts can stay comfortable in space.B．Other basic things that are difficult to do in space.C．Why burping is impossible in space.D．Things that humans can’t do without gravity.70．When of the following can be the best title for the text?A．In the sky, you can’t burp B．Better life with gravityC．In the sky, you can’t cry D．No Gravity, no tearsDWhen you meet someone for the first time, you will form an impression in your mind of that person in the first moment. Your reactions to other people, however, are really just barometers (晴雨表) for how you understand yourself. Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate yourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend to dislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we dislike.Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to illuminate (阐明;照亮) more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. On the contrary, you can view the people you judge negatively as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.To survive together peacefully with others, you will need to learn tolerance. A big challenge is to shift your perspective from judgment of others to a lifelong exploration of yourself. Your task is to assess all the decisions, judgments you make onto others and to begin to view them as clues to how you can heal yourself and become whole.Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable table manners. My first reaction was to judge him as rude and his table manners as annoying. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was embarrassed to be seen with someone how was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I was astonished to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant perceived me.Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shield against you becoming like him. My judging my lunch partner as rude does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. In the same way, extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open.When you approach life in this manner, those with whom you have the greatest dissatisfactions as well as those you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you reject and to embrace your greatest quality.71．According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A．Y ou can’t really love or hate others if they are similar to you.B．We are easily attracted by someone who is similar to us.C．Our first judgment of a person mostly comes from our personal opinion.D．The moment we see a stranger, our mind forms an impression of that person.72．We can know from the passage that the author advises people to _____________.A．avoid inappropriate manners B．learn tolerance towards others C．pay attention to others’ needs and feelings D．judge others favorably in any case 73．It can be implied from the text that ___________.A．the writer’s first reaction to the man was to judge him as offensiveB．we will need to learn tolerance to coexist with othersC．we shouldn’t focus on judging others but should constantly reflect on our ownD．the writer didn’t care about other people’s view of him74．The underlined word “objectionable” in Paragraph 4 has the closest meaning to __________.A．discouraging B．satisfying C．unpleasant D．acceptable 75．Throughout the entire story, the last paragraph serves as a(n) ______________.A．explanation B．example C．background D．conclusion阅读理解A本文为广告，主要介绍了一个叫Valley艺术中心的开设了一些课程。

中职对口升学英语高考复习模拟试题：阅读理解阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）第一节：阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。

AA student was one day taking a walk with his teacher. As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They were a poor farmer’s, who was working in the nearby field.The student turned to the teacher, saying: “we will hide his shoes, and hide ourselves behind those trees, and wait to see what he will do.”“My young friend,”answered the teacher, “we should never make fun of the poor. Why not put a coin in each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch?”The student did so and they both hid themselves behind the trees. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes.After putting on his coat, he put his foot into one of his shoes, and felt something hard. Then he bent (弯腰) down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Surprised, he looked at the coin, turned it around and looked at it again. He then looked around, but no person was seen. He put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe. His surprise was doubled on finding the other coin.He couldn’t control his feelings and fell to his knees, looked up to the sky and expressed his thanks. Then he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread. He said the help would save them from dying.The student stood there deeply moved, and his eyes filled with tears. “Now,”said the teacher, “Are you not much happier than if you had hidden the shoes?”56. When the student saw the shoes, he wanted to _____.A. steal themB. find their ownerC. play a joke on the ownerD. give the owner some money57. According to the passage, the teacher is _____.A. quiet and honestB. kind and friendlyC. patient and cleverD. strict and careful58.

What can we learn from the passage?A. It is never too late to learn.B. All good things come to an end.C. Where there is a will, there is a way.D. True happiness comes from helping others.BOne of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?Listen —Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything u nless they ask you a question. Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.Help them —If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra (额外的) pencil or pen with you to classes in case (以防) they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.Be there for them — Try to make something for your friend to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest things you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can’ t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve (值得) to be with me at my best.”Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time!Make plans — Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you’ll remember these things when you’re all old!60.

She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice. In November I was finally able to get h er back to her “home”.Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days. When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen, she was very sad. Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy, I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!On Christmas Eve, I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church that night.Instead of taking her to my church, I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were. We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in. Then soon some of her friends came to the church andthey rushed over to greet her and sit with her.The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there.The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift: the smile on Alice’s face.63.

Protection against fire is one kind of insurance. Large numbers of people pay small sums of money to an insurance company. Although thousands of people have paid for fire insurance, only a few will lose their homes by fire. The insurance company will pay for these homes out of the small sums of money it has collected.The first modern fire insurance company was formed in London, England, in the 1760s. A great fire had just destroyed most of the city, and people wanted protectionagainst further losses. The first company grew rapidly. Soon other companies were founded in other areas.Benjamin Franklin helped form the first fire insurance company in America in 1752, and then a new kind of insurance for farmers was suggested. The new insurance would provide protection against the loss of crops from storms.Later on another new insurance company was started in America. This company, which offered life insurance, collected small sums of money regularly from many different men. If a man died, his family was given a large sum of money.Over the years, insurance companies have offered new kinds of insurance protection.

In a special school for the hearing-impaired(听力受损的)，he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.Later on, Adrian’s parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular schools couldn’t take care of a special needs student. His parents were determined to take the risk and pushed him hard to go through his work every day because they wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace (节奏) was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn’t always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adriangraduated with good grades and got into a top high school.

I waited in the line at the Starbucks counter while he shopped around to pick up a few things.As I was starting there I become aware of an elderly women, with untidy hair, wearing layers upon layers of old clothing, hunchbacked (弯背的) behind me in line. She had a few things for washing and seemed to want the Starbucks cashier to ring up since that queue was shorter than the queues in the store.At some point I became aware of her edging (慢慢挪动) closer behind me — closer than I was comfortable with! I instinctively (本能地) placed a hand over my purse and drew it close to me. My fear and imagination raced creating wild stories about this homeless woman who might try to steal from me.Then it was my turn to order. As the cashier rang Ypsilanti my total, I discovered I was 67 cents short. I called my father but he was hard of hearing. He asked me to repeat what I said but he still couldn’t make me out. At that point, a long, grey arm, with holes in its sleeves, reached over from behin d me. She laid 67 cents out on the counter, saying, “Here, we all need some help sometimes.”I was stunned! Here was a woman who clearly had very little to give and was in great need herself. I had judged her wrongly and she had offered to reach out to help me!What an amazing gift and lesson this woman gave me about judging others! Thank you, God!63.

Since then, more than a dozen small colleges and schools have done the same. The ban isn’t because the schools don’t wan t students to have easy access to water. Instead, the goal is to encourage students to bring reusable bottles to save money and, more importantly, to save the environment.Many people believe that producing and using bottled water not only wastes money but also harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies in the U.S. are among the best in the world. These people believe that water fountains and reusable bottles with easy access to filling stations are a better choice.But the makers of bottled water argue that plastic bottles make up a small portion of the nation’s total waste. They say it’s unfair to single out (单独挑出) their product when so many other items are packaged (包装) in plastic containers, and what’s more, water is a healthy choice compared to some sodas and juices that are also sold at school.What do you think: Should sales of bottle water be banned from schools?

湖北中职英语高考复习模拟试题：阅读理解阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分, 满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AOnce there, I was driving, singing, having a good time when suddenly I saw ahead of me a congestion (阻塞) of traffic. A three-car accident had slowed things right down. It seemed they were all okay and the police were handling it. Meanwhile, everyone was crawling along. I was watching and waiting patiently for my opportunity to get past all of this congestion. What had been six lanes of flowing traffic was now only three, one lane going west, another east, and a single turning lane.I slowly came closer to my chance to make a move. Looking around, I could see an older woman in the turning lane, obviously upset. Horns were blaring (鸣叫) behind her and she hadn’t managed to make her turn to the mall. You could see she was scared with all the cars zipping around her way too close. The drivers behind her were blowing their horns (喇叭) and she looked like she was about to cry.It was my turn to pass through. But, instead of just passing her by, I used my big old truck to block the way of any other car that might have got in her way, and I signed her to turn into the mall. She kept shaking her head, no, and I kept asking her to go. The people behind me were not happy either!Finally after a few more waves, she looked and saw I was blocking things for her. She took the chance and off she went into the mall. A few more cars followed her from the turning lane, then a woman signed to me to go and off I went! Sometimes the best way to get things moving is to block something. And I and my big old truck are good at that!31.When waiting in the congestion of traffic, the author was ______.A. pleasedB. patientC. confusedD. anxious32.From the passage, we can know the older woman wanted to ___________.A. change her laneB. turn to the mallC. go homeD. park her car roadside33.What did the author do to help the older woman?A. Signing people behind to stop.B. Blocking others to get her through.C. Driving her car through the traffic.D. Encouraging her with waves.34.It can be learned from the passage that ______________.A. kindness is everywhereB. there is still a way to help outC. blocking sometimes helps movingD. it is wise to do what you are good atBGrammarphobia is the fear of grammar. This fear attacks almost everybody at one time or another, and it’s most likely to strike during English or language arts classes. Even people who love reading and writing have been known to get feverish and insecure when they are aware of the possibility of turning in homework with grammar or spelling mistakes. Though writing may be enjoyable, being corrected is definitely not!Grammarphobes, it’s time to put your fears behind you. Grammar isn’t that dreadful (可怕的). Here’s why.Let’s assume you like hearing and telling stories and that you enjoy joking with friends. You probably also like e-mailing and instant-messaging. Well, what do you think makes all these possible? Grammar!Grammar is simply the art of putting words together to make sentences. Whenever you use words to express yourself, you’re using grammar. You do this all the time without even thinking.So why think about it? Because good grammar helps you convey the ideas you intend. If your words aren’t right, or if they are not in the right order, the person you are talking to might get the wrong idea. This can have embarrassing results.Grammar helps us understand each other. It’s like a manual for assembling the words in your head. You have to put your words together the right way if you want them to make sense. They can’t do what you want if they aren’t put together correctly.What if everybody you know had a different manual? How would you agree on what others’ words mean? People with different grammar manuals might be speaking different languages.Communicating is similar to playing cards. To make sense, we have to play the same game, by the same rules. What are the rules for playing the game of English? You already know most of them without having to open a book.35.Grammarphobes refer to people who _____________.A. mind grammar too much in writingB. are afraid of making grammar mistakesC. consider grammar to be boringD. are worried about grammar homework36.The underlined word “assembling” in Paragr aph 6 may mean ___________.A. looking forB. bringing togetherC. rememberingD. directing37.What does playing cards have in common with communicating?A. Both can be learned easily.B. Both can be very interesting.C. Both need rules.D. Both can make sense for our life.38.What might be the main idea of the passage?A. Improving grammar through writing.B. Forgetting grammar when writing.C. Grammar is not horrible.D. What is grammarphobia?COn Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted that 42% of Americans could be overweight by 2030. Our expanding waistlines lead to not only a medical problem, but according to a recent article in The New York Times, it could also endanger personal safety in some situations — in an airplane crash, for example.The New York Times’ Christine Negroni reports that engineers and scientists are questioning whether airplane seats are adequately constructed to protect overweight travelers. Government standards for airplane seat strength — first set more than 60 years ago — require that the seats be made for a passenger weighing 170 pounds (77kg). Today, the average American man weighs nearly 194 pounds (88kg) and the average woman 165 pounds (75kg). Negroni reports: “If a heavier person complete ly fills a seat, the seat is not likely behave as intended during a crash,” Robert Salzar, the leading scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the University of Virginia. “The energy absorption that is built into the aircraft seat is likely to be overpowered and the passengers will not be protected properly.”“Nor would the injury be limited to that passenger only,” Dr Salzar said. “If a seat or a seat belt fails,” he said, “those people who are seated nearby could be endangered from ‘the uncont rolled movements of the passenger’.”Most complaints about airplane seats focus on their lack of comfort and high ticket price, and whether overweight passengers should be made to buy two seats. But The New York Times’ article brings up another reason to feel anxious about flying. Investigators of the issue got in touch with the airplane seat and seat belt makers, but they refused to comment on the problem. Experts agreed that crash testing should be done with overweight dummies (人体模特). Both airplane seats and seat belts should be tested, they said.Fortunately, however, according to Nora Marshall, a senior adviser at National Transportation Safety Board, the board’s investigators have never seen an accident involving a commercial plane in which the weight of a passenger was a problem.39.What is the article in The New York Times mainly concerned with?A. The size of airplane seats and seat belts.B. Safety of overweight airplane passengers.C. Airplane crashes involving commercial planes.D. A medical problem caused by being overweight.40.Robert Salzar would probably agree that ______ .A. overweight passengers should buy two seatsB. the government should help produce bigger planesC. standards for airplane seat strength should be raisedD. passengers should know to protect themselves when in trouble41.We can learn from the text that ______ .A. airplane seat makers have taken action nowB. there are few complaints about airplane seatsC. those passengers seated near the overweight may suffer tooD. only a small number of airplane accidents involve the overweight42.What is the best title for the text?A. Why do passengers feel anxious about flying?B. Will 42% of Americans be overweight by 2003?C. When will the overweight enjoy their flight?D. Are airplane seats safe enough for the overweight?DWhen most of us hear the word chocolate, the verb that comes to mind is probably “eat”, not “drink”, and the most proper adjective would seem to be “sweet”. But for about 90 p ercent of chocolate’s long history, it was strictly a beverage (饮料), and sugar didn’t have anything to do with it.The Origin of ChocolateMany modern historians have estimated that chocolate has been around for about 2000 years, but recent research suggests that it may be even older.In the book The True History of Chocolate, authors Sophie and Michael Coe prove that the earliest linguistic (语言学的) evidence of chocolate consumption dates back three or even four thousand years.Valuable and Fashionable Chocolate BeverageIt’s hard to discover exactly when chocolate was born, but it’s clear that it was cherished from the start. For several centuries in pre-modern Latin America, cacao beans were considered valuable enough to use as currency. 100 b eans could purchase a good turkey hen, according to a 16th-century Aztec document.Sweetened chocolate didn’t appear until Europeans discovered the Americas and sampled (品尝) the native cuisine. Chocolate didn’t suit the foreigners’ taste at first—one described it in his writings as “a bitter drink for pigs”—but once mixed with honey or cane sugar, it quickly became popular throughout Spain. By the 17th century, chocolate was a fashionable drink throughout Europe, believed to have nutritious, medicinal functions. But it remained largely a privilege of the rich until the invention of the steam engine made mass production possible in the late 1700s.The Birth of Solid ChocolateIn 1828, a Dutch chemist found a way to make powdered chocolate. His product became known as “Dutch cocoa”, and it soon led to the creation of solid chocolate. In 1847, Joseph Fry created the first modern chocolate bar. By 1868, a little company called Cadbury was marketingboxes of chocolate candies in England. Milk chocolate hit the market a few years later.Prosperous Chocolate IndustryIn America, chocolate was so valued during the Revolutionary War that it was used instead of wages. Even now, statistics show that the humble cacao bean is still a powerful economic force. Chocolate manufacturing is a more than 4-billion-dollar industry in the United States, and the average American eats at least half a pound of the stuff per month.63.The earliest chocolate was most probably _________.A. a dishB. a drinkC. a barD. a candy64.It can be inferred from the passage that ________________.A. the history of chocolate is at most 4,000 years.B. people around the world could buy things with chocolate.C. chocolate was well paid attention to since it was born.D. an American at least eats a pound of chocolate per month.65.Why did chocolate suit the Spanish’s taste so quickly?A. Because chocolate was so tasty and bitter.B. Because chocolate was believed to be a source of nutrition.C. Because chocolate was sweetened with honey or cane sugar.D. Because chocolate became a fashionable beverage.66.Which one shows the correct order according to the time of their appearing?A. chocolate beverage → chocolate bar → chocolate candies → milk chocolateB. chocolate bar → chocolate beverage → chocolate candies → milk chocolateC. chocolate bar → chocolate candies → milk chocolate → chocolate beverageD. chocolate beverage → chocolate candies → chocolate bar → milk chocolateEI’m sure you’re aware what meditation is. But have you ever tried it for 10 minutes? An hour?A day? How about 10 full days? And during those 10 days, by the way, you’re not allowed to speak to anyone else, nor are you permitted to read a book, write in your journal, exercise, or listen to music. All you do is hang out at the private party in your head.Some might call what I just described prison camp — and run like a criminal pursued by a group of policemen in the other direction. Others know it as Vipassana, or insight (顿悟) meditation, and consider it a vital spiritual practice. These crazy people view long, difficult, frustrating silent meditation retreats (静修) as the key to coping with suffering and finding access to a deep, pervasive sense of joy.I’m one of the crazy ones. Or not. I’m just an ordinary person who couldn’t sit still for an hour when I first signed up for a Vipassana retreat yet has benefited greatly from the simple and challenging practice. I returned last Friday from an eight-day silent Vipassana meditation retreat near Joshua Tree National Park with a team of wonderful Spirit Rock teachers. This was my third retreat. In fact, my first two were two days longer and totally free.These three experiences allow me to feel confident in saying there is something in Vipassana for everyone who is brave enough to give it a go. It’s hard, but it’s doable. Even if you’re terrified, even if you have no interest in being a monk (和尚) and you’re not an extremist by nature, I know that sitting in silence for 10 days will slow your mind. And here are my top reasons for attending a Vipassana mediation retreat.We’re all running down the freeway of our daily lives at 80 miles per hour. It’s remarkable to watch how your mind and body react when you step away from the tasks, ringing and beeping cell phones, TVs, computers, yanking feelings that you ought to be doing something else, and yes, other people — even those who love you.Eventually, whether it takes one day or five, your mind slows down and you become acutely aware of the present moment. You notice every soft cloud that floats across the horizon, every insect that moves across your path. An intangible (无形的) but deeply-felt sense of spaciousness opens up in your head and around your hear t. It’s enough to make you cry.67.The crazy people including the author attended Vipassana mediation retreat mainly to_________________.A. practice their spirits and see how they work wellB. experience a life like in prison campC. escape what they suffered in their daily lifeD. become joyful in their deep hearts68.What did the author not think of her first Vipassana mediation retreat?A. Beneficial.B. Boring .C. Simple.D. Hard.69.According to the passage, those who slow their mind will _________________.A. have a clear mind when working againB. keep an eye on the presentC. get curious about everything aroundD. open their hearts to the new70.The purpose of the author in writing the passage is ___________.A. to informB. to argueC. to persuadeD. to amuse Passage A【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。
