广西贵港市2018届高三上学期12月联考英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择No matter where you live or how you define yourself, these are some of the best activities to get in touch with nature.HikingOne of the easiest and most accessible ways to get close to nature is by setting out on a good old hike. Hiking generally doesn’t require any special equipment or special skills; just a good pair of boots, a map, and a thirst for adventure. This activity can be as relaxing as you make it. Suggestion: consider doing a little advance research on or Every .Backcountry CampingWhy limit yourself to just a day hike when you can have a full weekend (or longer) adventure? Backcountry camping involves packing your tent, sleeping bag, food, and water on your back to set up camp in a remote location. If you’re an experienced hiker and camper, this is an excellent way to test your survival skills and explore the wildness. Many parks require backpackers to obtain permits, so make sure to register and map your route before stepping on the trail.Mountain and Road BikingUnlike long hikes through the woods, biking allows you to cover more ground and travel farther while still being in nature. Mountain biking typically involves riding up and down steep slopes, between trees, and over rocks. If this sounds too intense or your tires aren’t suited for a rocky path, consider taking a road bike or a hybrid on paved trails through forest preserves or along country roads.1.What is especially suggested before hiking?A.Having a new pair of boots.B.Having a map.C.Having athirst for adventure.D.Doing some advance research on the websites.2.Which of the following items is NOT necessary when taking backcountry camping according o the passage?A.A tent. B.A cell phone.C.Food. D.Some water.3.What is the typical character of the mountain biking?A.You have to get permits.B.You have to do some research in advance.C.You can ride up and down the mountains.D.You must have a road bike.Two weeks ago, Ray Johnstone, an elderly man living alone in South Australia, posted a classified advertisement in search of a friend. Specifically, he was on the hunt for a fishing partner, as he no longer had anyone to share his hobby with. “I’m a widowe d retired man who is looking for a fishing mate,” he wrote on Gumtree, “My fishing mate is now deceased. He will never accompany me to go fishing. I am a land-based fisherman. I have all the gear for all types of fish that is required for land-based fishing.”Like all of us, 22-year-old Mati Batsinilas was touched by the man’s advertisement, so he reached out to him and arranged an outing. Rather than simply spend the day with Johnstone somewhere local, however, he and his family offered to take him on an all-inclusive weekend fishing trip of Stradbroke Island in Queensland. And, as expected, they had a good time. “While on the island we covered four-wheel driving, site-seeing, fishing, swimming, chats with the locals and the best of all... just relaxi ng and chatting like mates,” Batsinilas wrote in a Facebook post. “Once you reach a level of maturity in life, age should only be a number. My respect for Johostone is obviously very high, but I treated him exactly the way I would have treated one of my 22-year-old mates.”Fortunately, it sounds like Johnstone won't have to place more classified advertisements any time soon. In addition to finding a friend, the pensioner has become a star on the Internet, with many social media users voicing their interests in meeting the now-famous fisherman. 4.What was the aim of Ray Johnstone’s posting a classified advertisement?A.He wanted to sell all his tools.B.He wanted to show off his excellent fishing skills.C.He wanted to find a friend to go fishing with.D.He wanted to find a friend to sell all his caught fish.5.What does the underlined word “deceased” in the first paragraph mean?A.ill B.unfriendlyC.angry D.dead6.What was Mati Batsinilas’ attitude towards Ray Johnstone?A.He thought Johnstone was too old to go fishing with.B.He treated Johnstone like a senior citizen and took him to travel.C.He thought his father would make friends with Johnstone.D.He treated the old man as a friend of the same age.7.What will happen after Ray Johnstone posted the classified advertisement?A.There will be no advertisements for friends-hunting on the internet.B.More people will go online to read his latest information.C.More people will come to make friends with Ray Johnstone.D.Ray Johnstone will regret what he did on the Internet and move away.Maybe it has been the influence of the current scene: the type among urban biking. Apparently, urban biking requires entirely different bikes than suburban hiking does and therefore a Bike Design Project started where five design studios across five cities had to come up with a perfect urban bike. The winning bike will be manufactured for a limited run of 100 hikes and will be in stores next year. Industry, a Portland-based studio, came up with a very interesting bike: one that uses bluetooth and handlebars (车把手) that tell you when to stop or turn.Industry worked together with Ti Cycles to create a bike with a 3D printed titanium frame (钛框架). The hike is called Solid and can be connected to a smartphone APP: My Bike. This AP P alarms a user when a light needs replacement and if something gets wrong with one’s brakes. There is also software called Discover My City, which has a series of routes through Portland’s most trendy neighborhoods, with suggestions about where to eat and shop.Nevertheless, the idea with cycling is that you need to focus on the road and not on your smartphone. This bike therefore uses integrated feedback on handlebars. Those handlebars tell a user when to turn, as they will buzz when a turn appears. As you are getting closer, they will buzz more frequently. And then there is the possibility to control your light via built-in sensors and change gears by pressing an electronic button.Although the bicycle looks highly interesting and can be seen as a piece of art for the designing world, we don’t know if we would like our bike to have an automatic buzz when we are approaching a turn. On the other side, it could add some extra safety to traffic in general.Whether you like the bike or not, you have to admit the Portland-based studio brings the concept of urban biking to a whole new level.8.Paragraph 1 mainly talks about .A.the equipment that a hand-made bike requiresB.the popularity of the winning bike in the urban areaC.the introduction to a new bike in the future marketD.the difference between urban biking and suburban biking9.The 3D printed bike is special in the way .A.it tells the biker where to eat and shopB.it connects the computersC.it limits the riding speedD.it goes into forests and mountains10.What is the author’s attitude to the newly-designed bicycle?A.Disapproving. B.Doubtful.C.Pessimistic. D.Objective.11.The passage is likely to appear in .A.a school textbook B.a TV advertisementC.an exhibition D.a newspaper reportWhen seeing the doctor, you feel better to know you will get some medicine. But the doctor knows that medicine is not always needed. Sometimes all a sick person needs is some reassurance that all will be well. In such cases the doctor may prescribe a placebo.A placebo is a sugar pill, a harmless shot, or an empty capsule. The patient thinks it is medicine and begins to get better. How does this happen?The study of the placebo opens up new knowledge about the way the human body can heal itself. It is as if there was a doctor in each of us. The doctor will heal the body for us if we let it. But it is not yet known just how the placebo works to heal the body. Some people say it works because the human mind fools itself. These people say that if the mind is fooled into thinking it got medicine, then it will act as if it did, and the body will feel better.Placebos don’t always work. The success of this treatment seems to rest a lot with the relationship between the patient and the doctor. If the patient has lots of trust in the doctor and if the doctor really wants to help the patient, then the placebo is more likely to work. So in a way,the doctor is the most powerful placebo of all.A placebo can also have bad effects. If patients expert a bad reaction to medicine, then they’ll also show a bad reaction to the placebo. Some doctors still think that if the placebo can have bad effects it should never be used. They think there is still not enough known about it.The strange power of the placebo does seem to suggest that the human mind is stronger than we think it is. There are people who say you can heal your body by using your mind. And the interesting thing is that even people who swear this is not possible have been healed by a placebo.12.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.The placebo. B.The bad effect.C.The body. D.The medicine.13.What do we know about the placebo according to the passage?A.It contains some sort of medicineB.It won’t function if you are negative about medi cineC.People who don’t believe placebo can’t be healed by itD.Patients and doctors know clearly how it helps to heal the body14.Why is the doctor sometimes the most powerful placebo?A.Because patient needs help badly.B.Because patient believes in the doctor and the doctor wants to help the patient. C.Because doctor knows better about the patient’s body.D.Because doctor has carefully studied medicine.15.What is the best title for the text?A.Placebo: Work on Your MindB.Placebo: The Most Powerful MedicineC.Placebo: The Best DoctorD.Placebo: Heal the Body二、七选五Having a pet dog at home can be beneficial in many ways.

That expression usually shows disapproval(不赞成). But recently at a top private girls' school in Britain, students were encouraged to blow their own trumpet.Some excellent girls are under a great deal of pressure(压力) and find it difficult to accept their success. The purpose of the “Blow Your Own Trumpet”week was to help these students. “Some teenagers will continue to push themselves and never realise that they've done enough,”said Ms. Hanbury, head of Wimbledon High School in London, “Without being able to accept when things have gone right, some girls might never be happy”.The school wanted to help the girls build an ability to get better from setbacks quickly, so they wouldn't think it was the end of the world if they didn't do well in an exam. In the “Blow Your Own Trumpet”week, students were encouraged to talk about their experiences of success and failure. They were also asked to think carefully about their achievements in each subject during lessons, make videos and act out plays to tell the stories of success and failure in classes.Ms. Hanbury said she wanted her students to be confident in the things they're good at and to also know they're not good at everything. It was important for them to know their own strengths(长处) and weaknesses, she added.

Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming. and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift.I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poemwas focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood. I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.31. The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was ______.A. doing shoppingB. having a debateC. reading a messageD. leaving for Wyoming32. The author's inspiration for the gift came from ______.A. a photo of a flowerB. a story about a kidC. a call from the motherD. a text about Christmas33. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by______.A. the fatherB. the authorC. William BlakeD. Edgar Allan Poe34. The author made the gift by_____.A. searching for the poems onlineB. drawing the background by handC. painting the letters in three colorsD. matching the words with pictures35. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show how to design images for gifts.B. To suggest making gifts from one's heart.C. To explain how computers help create gifts.D. To describe the gifts the author has receivedBMothers and daughters go through so much—yet when was the last time a mother and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all? Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon Klass, both gifted professional writers, prove to be ideal co-writers as they examine their decades of motherhood, daughterhood, and the wonderful waystheir lives have overlapped (重叠).Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother’s: both have full-time careers; both have published books, articles, and stories; each has three children; they both love to read. They also love to travel—in fact, they often take trips together. But in truth, the harder they look at their lives, the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.A child of the Depression (大萧条), Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls. Starting with her college education, she has fought for everything she’s ever accomplished. Perri, on the other hand, grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s. For Sheila, wasting time or money is a crime, and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury, but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.Each writing in her own unmistakable voice, Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains, the love and bitterness, the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together. Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork. Perri admits that she can’t sort out all the mess in the households, even though she k nows it drives her mother crazy. Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working, admit long-hidden sorrows, and enjoy precious memories.Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together, Perri and Sheila tell their mother-daughter story with honesty, humor, enthusiasm, and admiration for each other. A written account in two voices, Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet (二重奏) that produces a deep, strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.36. Why does Perri think that her own life has mirrored her mother’s?A. They both have gone through difficult times.B. They have strong emotional ties with each other.C. They have the same joys and pains, and love and bitterness.D. They both have experiences as daughter, mother and writer.37. The word “luxury” in Paragraph 3 means ______.A. something rare but not pleasantB. something that cannot be imaginedC. something expensive but not necessaryD. something that can only be enjoyed by boys38. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The content of the book.B. The purpose of the book.C. The influence of the book.D. The writing style of the book.39. How are women’s lives explored in this book?A. In a musical form.B. Through field research.C. With unique writing skills.D. From different points of view.CBrrriiinnng. The alarm clock announces the start of another busy weekday in the morning. You jump out of bed, rush into the shower, into your clothes and out the door with hardly a moment to think. A stressful journey to work gets your blood pressure climbing. Once at the office, you glance through the newspaper with depressing stories or reports of disasters. In that sort of mood, who can get down to work, particularly some creative, original problem-solving work?The way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that promote flexible, open-minded thinking. Imaginative ideas are most likely to come to us when we’re unfocused. If you are one of those energetic morning people, your most inventive time comes in the early evening when you are relaxed. Sleepy people’s lack of focus leads to an increase in creative problem solving. By not giving yourself time to tune into your wandering mind, you’re missing out on the surprising solutions it may offer.The trip you take to work doesn’t help, either. The stress slows down the speed with which signals travel between neurons(神经细胞), making inspirations less likely to occur. And while we all should read a lot about what’s going on in the world, it would not make you feel good for sure, so put that news website or newspaper aside until after the day’s work is done.So what would our mornings look like if we wanted to start them with a full capacity for creative problem solving? We’d set the alarm a few minutes ear ly and lie awake in bed, following our thoughts where they lead. We’d stand a little longer under the warm water of the shower, stopping thinking about tasks in favor of a few more minutes of relaxation. We’d take some deep breaths on our way to work, inst ead of complaining about heavy traffic. And once in the office—after we get a cup of coffee—we’d click on links not to the news of the day but to the funniest videos the web has to offer.40. According to the author, we are more creative when we are _______.A. focusedB. relaxedC. awakeD. busy41. What does the author imply about newspapers?A. They are solution providers.B. They are a source of inspiration.C. They are normally full of bad news.D. They are more educational than websites.42. By “tune into your wandering mind” (in Para. 2), the author means “_______”.A. wander into the wildB. listen to a beautiful tuneC. switch to the traffic channelD. stop concentrating on anything43. The author writes the last paragraph in order to _______.A. offer practical suggestionsB. summarize past experiencesC. advocate diverse ways of lifeD. establish a routine for the futureDIn my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “Bloo m (开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits tothe classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.Dorothy taught in a school In Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy’s classroom. I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). In case you don’t know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph. D. degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things. (360 words)44. “Early Childhood Development” in Paragraph 1 refers to __________.A. a program directed by DorothyB. a course given by the authorC. an activity held by the studentsD. an organization sponsored by Union college45. In the journey, the author was most disappointed at seeing __________.A. the long trackB. the poor housesC. the same trainD. the winding road46. Upon arriving at the classroom, the author was cheered up by __________.A. a warm welcomeB. the sight of poke greensC. Dorothy’s l atest projectsD. a big dinner made for her47. What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph?A. She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant.B. She got a pen as a gift from the author.C. She passed the required assessment.D. She received her Ph. D. degree.48. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A. Whatever you do, you must do it carefully.B. Whoever you are, you deserve equal treatment.C. However poor you are, you have the right to education,D. Wherever you are, you can accomplish your achievement.E“Get your hands off me, I have been stolen,” the laptop, a portable computer, shouted. That is a new solution to laptop computer theft: a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.The program allows users to display alerts on the missing computer’s screen and even to set a spoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.Owners must report their laptop missing by visiting a website, which sends a message to the model: a red and yellow “lost or stolen” sign appears on its screen when it is started. Under the latest version(版本)of the software, users can also send a spoken message.The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds, no matter how many times the thief closes it.” One customer sent a message saying,’ You are being tracked.I am right at your d oor’,” said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever.In the latest version, people can add a spoken message. For example, the laptop’sspeakers will say: “Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, report me now.”The Retriever software package, which costs $29.95 but has a free trial period, has the functions of many security software programs .Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details.If a thiefaccesses theinternet with thestolen laptop,Retriever willcollectinformation onthe internetservice providerin use, so thatthe police can bealerted to itslocation.Thousands oflaptops arestolen every yearfrom homes andoffices, but withthe use of laptopsincreasing, the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.49. The expression “to give the thief a piece of their mind “can be understoodas “_______”A. to give the thief an alert mindB. to express the owners’ anger to the thiefC. to remind the thief of this conscienceD. to make the thief give up his mind50. Different from other security software, Retriever can .A. record the stealing processB. help recognize the lost laptopC. lock down the computer remotelyD. send a spoken message51. One function of the program is that it allows the owner to at a distance.A. change some access de tails for switching on the laptopB. turn on the laptop by using the original passwordC. operate the laptop by means of and alternative passwordD. erase the information kept in the stolen laptop52.

Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming. and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift.I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poemwas focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood. I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.31. The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was ______.A. doing shoppingB. having a debateC. reading a messageD. leaving for Wyoming32. The author's inspiration for the gift came from ______.A. a photo of a flowerB. a story about a kidC. a call from the motherD. a text about Christmas33. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by______.A. the fatherB. the authorC. William BlakeD. Edgar Allan Poe34. The author made the gift by_____.A. searching for the poems onlineB. drawing the background by handC. painting the letters in three colorsD. matching the words with pictures35. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show how to design images for gifts.B. To suggest making gifts from one's heart.C. To explain how computers help create gifts.D. To describe the gifts the author has receivedBMothers and daughters go through so much—yet when was the last time a mother and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all? Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon Klass, both gifted professional writers, prove to be ideal co-writers as they examine their decades of motherhood, daughterhood, and the wonderful waystheir lives have overlapped (重叠).Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother’s: both have full-time careers; both have published books, articles, and stories; each has three children; they both love to read. They also love to travel—in fact, they often take trips together. But in truth, the harder they look at their lives, the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.A child of the Depression (大萧条), Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls. Starting with her college education, she has fought for everything she’s ever accomplished. Perri, on the other hand, grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s. For Sheila, wasting time or money is a crime, and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury, but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.Each writing in her own unmistakable voice, Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains, the love and bitterness, the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together. Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork. Perri admits that she can’t sort out all the mess in the households, even though she k nows it drives her mother crazy. Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working, admit long-hidden sorrows, and enjoy precious memories.Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together, Perri and Sheila tell their mother-daughter story with honesty, humor, enthusiasm, and admiration for each other. A written account in two voices, Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet (二重奏) that produces a deep, strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.36. Why does Perri think that her own life has mirrored her mother’s?A. They both have gone through difficult times.B. They have strong emotional ties with each other.C. They have the same joys and pains, and love and bitterness.D. They both have experiences as daughter, mother and writer.37. The word “luxury” in Paragraph 3 means ______.A. something rare but not pleasantB. something that cannot be imaginedC. something expensive but not necessaryD. something that can only be enjoyed by boys38. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The content of the book.B. The purpose of the book.C. The influence of the book.D. The writing style of the book.39. How are women’s lives explored in this book?A. In a musical form.B. Through field research.C. With unique writing skills.D. From different points of view.CBrrriiinnng. The alarm clock announces the start of another busy weekday in the morning.

And once in the office—after we get a cup of coffee—we’d click on links not to the news of the day but to the funniest videos the web has to offer.40. According to the author, we are more creative when we are _______.A. focusedB. relaxedC. awakeD. busy41. What does the author imply about newspapers?A. They are solution providers.B. They are a source of inspiration.C. They are normally full of bad news.D. They are more educational than websites.42.

The author writes the last paragraph in order to _______.A. offer practical suggestionsB. summarize past experiencesC. advocate diverse ways of lifeD. establish a routine for the futureDIn my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advis es me to “Bloom (开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits tothe classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.Dorothy taught in a school In Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy’s cla ssroom. I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). In case you don’t know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph. D. degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things. (360 words)44. “Early Childhood Development” in Paragraph 1 refers to __________.A. a program directed by DorothyB. a course given by the authorC. an activity held by the studentsD. an organization sponsored by Union college45. In the journey, the author was most disappointed at seeing __________.A. the long trackB. the poor housesC. the same trainD. the winding road46. Upon arriving at the classroom, the author was cheered up by __________.A. a warm welcomeB. the sight of poke greensC. Dorothy’s latest projectsD. a big dinner made for her47. What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph?A. She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant.B. She got a pen as a gift from the author.C. She passed the required assessment.D. She received her Ph. D. degree.48. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A. Whatever you do, you must do it carefully.B. Whoever you are, you deserve equal treatment.C. However poor you are, you have the right to education,D. Wherever you are, you can accomplish your achievement.E“Get your hands off me, I have been stolen,” the laptop, a portable computer, shouted. That is a new solution to laptop computer theft: a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.The program allows users to display alerts on the missing computer’s screen and even to set a spoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.Owners must report their laptop missing by visiting a website, which sends a message to the model: a red and yellow “lost or stolen” sign appears on its screen when it is started. Under the latest version(版本)of the software, users can also send a spoken message.The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds, no matter how many times the thief closes it.” One customer sent a message saying,’ You are being tracked.I am r ight at your door’,” said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever.In the latest version, people can add a spoken message. For example, the laptop’sspeakers will say: “Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, report me now.”The Retriever software package, which costs $29.95 but has a free trial period, has the functions of many security software programs .Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details.If a thiefaccesses theinternet with thestolen laptop,Retriever willcollectinformation onthe internetservice providerin use, so thatthe police can bealerted to itslocation.Thousands oflaptops arestolen every yearfrom homes andoffices, but withthe use of laptopsincreasing, the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.49. T he expression “to give the thief a piece of their mind “can be understoodas “_______”A. to give the thief an alert mindB. to express the owners’ anger to the thiefC. to remind the thief of this conscienceD. to make the thief give up his mind50. Different from other security software, Retriever can .A. record the stealing processB. help recognize the lost laptopC. lock down the computer remotelyD. send a spoken message51. One function of the program is that it allows the owner to at a distance.A. change some access de tails for switching on the laptopB. turn on the laptop by using the original passwordC. operate the laptop by means of and alternative passwordD. erase the information kept in the stolen laptop52. Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?A. With no Retriever, thousands of laptops are stolen every year.B. A new software provides a means to reduce laptop theft.C. Retriever has helped to find thieves and lost computers.D. A new program offers a communication platform with the thief. F53.
