AFly Alone for the First TimeI began flying lessons at the age of 14; but the Federal Aviation Administration requires you to be 16 before you make flight by yourself. So I had to wait for two long years until I could fly a plane by myself. I used that time to master the basic maneuvers (要领) of flying. I learned emergency procedures and practiced hundreds of takeoffs and landings until I could land the airplane smoothly without bouncing it down the runway. It wasn’t always easy, and many times I would come home feeling discouraged and thinking maybe everyone was right – I would never learn to fly, but by the next day, I was always eager to try again.On the day of my 16th birthday, I made my first solo flight, which meant I could finally fly alone. The night before, my dad, who was my flight instructor, explained that the winds were forecast to be high. He said if we were in the air by dawn, the winds would probably be calm enough for me to solo. The next morning it was cold, but the sky was completely clear, and the winds were calm. I expected my dad to stay in the plane for at least three takeoffs and landings. But after the first one, he told me to pull off the runway, and he got out of the plane.I was alone. As I climbed higher and higher, the world began to change. Everything on the ground became miniature. Houses,cars, and all looked like tiny toys that could fit in the surface of my hand. I made three takeoffs and landings that day. Each landing was perfect. It was one of the happiest days of my life.Today, as a flight instructor, I stand alongside runways watching as my own students take to the sky on their first solo flights. I understand the joy faces, which always bring me back to that day when my dream came true. I learned that no matter how people tell you that you can’t do something, if you believe in yourself, you can succeed.21. When practicing flying, the author ______.A. met several times of emergenciesB. was worried about his own safetyC. couldn’t wait to fly alone in the skyD. sometimes doubted his ability to fly22. The underlined word “miniature” probably means “______”.A. distantB. unclearC. smallD. high23. What was the father concerned about before his son flied alone?A. Whether his son was brave enough.B. Whether it would be too windy.C. Whether he was able to protect his son.D. Whether there were negative comments.24. What lesson does the author learn from his experience?A. Be confident and you will succeed.B. Be responsible and you can grow up.C. Give up something and you may win more.D. Think hard and you can achieve your dream.BAre you trying to learn a new language in a foreign land? Youmight be better off if you stopped looking at that picture of your family and friends.New research from Columbia University found that prompting (提示) someone who is learning a new language with images and reminders of their own culture could temporarily ruin everything that the brain was trying to build.When native Chinese students were asked to talk with a Caucasian avatar (白种人的虚拟头像) and a Chinese avatar, their English skills were so different. Simply exposing students to a Chinese person affected their ability to speak English. Subjects who talked with the Chinese version felt more comfortable in their speech, but they produced 11% fewer words per minute. They actually became less fluent speakers.To make sure it wasn’t just the avatar, researchers also showed people random images of China while the participants told a story. When pictures of their homeland appeared, fluency dropped 16% and volunteers were 85% more likely to use a literal (照字面的) translation, for example, calling pistachios “happy nuts”, because that’s literally what the Chinese word for pistachio means.When the students were shown pictures of fish with one swimming ahead of the others, their culture would change how they look at the photo. With Chinese prompt, like photos of the Great Wall or Chinese Dragon, etc. they saw more students thinking that the fish was being chased, while an American prompt, like pictures of Marilyn Monroe or Superman, saw those students believing that it was a leader fish.The bottom line is: when attempting to learn a new culture it is far better to surround yourself with that culture than create an island of the old one.25. Why does the author use a question in the first paragraph?A. To raise a q uestion.B. To arouse readers’ awareness.C. To introduce the topic.D. To tell a story.26. The underlined word “pistachios” in the fourth paragraph refers to ______.A. picturesB. volunteersC. an imageD. a kind of food27. From the passage we can infer that ______.A. different images would change with different peopleB. different cultures would affect how students look at the photoC. with Chinese prompts, more students thought that it was a leader fishD. with an American prompt, more students thought that the fish was being chased28. According to the research, which is a better way for a student in a foreign land to learn a new culture?A. To surround himself with that culture.B. To create an island of the old one.C. To see random images of China.D. To talk with a Caucasian avatar.COf the several films Hirokazu has made about childhood and children, this one is the most modest, but no less pleasing for its delicate style and small setting. This wise and funny film works small miracles in describing such a moment when kids turn from the wishfulness of childhood into shaping the world for themselves.The sweetly reflective hero, a sixth-grader named Koichi, starts out by wishing for a volcano to erupt. Not just any volcano, but the one that towers above his town, smoking heavily andgiving off ash. An eruption would lead to a withdrawing, which would lead, at least in his mind, to a reunion with his father and kid brother, who’ve been living in Hakata while Koichi lives with his mother and retired grandparents in Kagoshima. The volcano, knowing nothing of this, refuses to erupt, but Koichi hears of another approach to realizing the desired miracle.One of the pleasures of I Wish is watching how kids behave — how Koichi attacks his dinner, for example. Another pleasure is rediscovering how kids think. These kids can be logical and ever so tricky. But children’s thought processes can also be fancy. A boy wishes he could play baseball like one of baseball stars, who eats curry for breakfast; so he, too, starts eating curry for breakfast, instead of practicing on the field. Another boy tries to wish his dead dog, Marble, back to life. And what does Koichi finally wish for? I wish you’d see this delightful film to find out.29. Koichi wishes the volcano to erupt so that he can ______.A. enjoy the wonderful scene of a volcanoB. help those who suffer from the eruptionC. get together with his family membersD. work miracles during the disaster30. Which of the following statements is true of the film?A. It is set in a volcano eruption.B. It is a serious science fiction movie.C. It shows some dull and ridiculous behaviors.D. It shows a lively and thoughtful world of children.31. What does the writer intend to do in this text?A. To recommend a film.B. To make a review on a film.C. To share pleasures of watching a film.D. To discuss kids’ behavior and thoughts.DIn 2009, the Taiwu Elementary School Folk Singers were invited to perform in Belgium, France, Germany, and Luxemburg. In 2011, they were voted as one of the world’s top five performance groups by audiences of Japan Broadcasting Corporation’s Amazing Voice program.Thinking back the group’s first tour in Europe, Camake Valaule, a physical education teacher and the founder of the Taiwu Elementary School Folk Singers, admitted that he felt very nervous. He was worried that the audience would fall asleep since most of the 75-minute performance was a cappella, that is, singing without instrumental sound. Surprisingly, the audience listened with full focus and high spirits. Camake said, “They told me afterward that through our performance, they had a vision of our country, our village, without having to visit it. This experience greatly increased our confidence.”According to Camake Valaule, singing traditional ballads has helped students and their parents to re-understand their culture. “It used to be that the only ones who could sing these songs were tribal elders aged between 50 and 60. Now with the children performing the pieces, parents are be ginning to ask, ‘Why do we not know how to sing these ballads?’ Many times nowadays, it is the children who teach the songs to their parents, putting back the pieces of a blurred memory.”Winning international fame, however, was neither the original intention nor the main reason why Camake founded the group in 2006. The most important thing was to make children understand why they sing these songs and to preserve and pass on their culture. Referring to the relocation of Taiwu Elementary School and Taiwu Village following Typhoon Morakot in August2009, Camake said, “We could not take the forest or our houses in the mountains with us; but we were able to bring our culture along. As long as the children are willing to sing, I will always be there for them, singing with them and leading them to experience the meaning of the ballads.”32. Which of the following is true about Taiwu Elementary School Folk Singers?A. The group was first established in 2009.B. The group was founded by a PE teacher.C. The singers usually sing popular folk songs.D. The singers learn to sing from their parents.33. On his first trip to Europe, why did Camake think the audience might fall asleep?A. The average age of the audience was between fifty and sixty.B. Most of the performance was not accompanied by any instrument.C. Nobody could understand the language and the meaning of the songs.D. The audience could not visualize the theme sung by the school children.34. What does the underlined part “the pieces of a blurred memory” in the third paragraph most likely refer to?A. The fading memories about old tribal people.B. The children’s ignorance of their own tradition.C. The broken pieces of knowledge taught at school.D. The parents’ vague understanding of their own culture.35. What did Camake realize after the incident of Typhoon Morakot?A. The significance of the relocation of Taiwu ElementarySchool.B. The need to respect nature to avoid being destroyed by it.C. The importance of passing on the traditional culture.D. The consequence of building houses in the forest.。

I stopped you in this street and asked you to lend me some money, and you lent me five pounds, because you said you were willing to take a chance so as to give a man a start on the way to success.”Mr. Grey thought for a few minutes and then said, “Yes, I remember you. Go on with your story.”“Well,”answered the stranger, “are you still willing to take a chance?”。

四川省成都市2016高考英语阅读理解二轮基础训练80集连载(2)及(解析)答案阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Getting rid of dirt,in the opinion of most people,is a good thing。
However,there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt。
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in。
A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538,the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV,King of France, was famously dirty。
Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease,the nobleman should not go out。

ADictionaries are not closed books. There is still plenty of room for more words in these great vocabulary authorities. New words are continually being created and added to our language. And many of today's word experts can credit a famous mathematician with the creation of the method by which they develop many new words. The mathematician was an Englishman named Charles L. Dodgson. In addition to working with figures, Dodgson wrote books. His imaginative stories and poems have made Dodgson beloved to generations of readers. We know him, however, not by the name of Dodgson but by his pen name, Lewis Carroll.Lewis Carroll has delighted countless readers, young and old, with Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and numerous poems. In these works, Carroll developed dozensof nonsensical words such as "chortle" and "galumph". Many of these words are combined naturally with more common words in the English language. Carroll referred to his made-up words as "portmanteau" words, named after a kind of leather suitcase that opens into two compartments. The name was well suited, because most of Carroll's words had two compartments. Rather than being entirely fabricated(虚构),they were usually made from the combined parts of two different words. A "snark", for example, clearly came from a snake and a shark.Although Carroll died long ago, his technique continues to be used today. We clearly see his influence in such words as smog, brunch, and guesstimate.21. What does the underlined sentence probably mean according to the passage?A. Dictionaries are open to the public.B. Dictionaries are helpful to the public.C. Dictionaries are ready to welcome new words.D. The vocabularies in dictionaries are limited.22. Dodgson's made-up words____.A. are based on different wordsB. are borrowed from other languagesC. all come from his poemsD. are still widely used23. This passage is mainly about .A. how Dodgson wrote his worksB. how English words are createdC. how a dictionary is writtenD. how Dodgson created new wordsBHi Maz and Bobby,I don't know what you're up to this Sunday, but if you're at a loose end, come over to my place. We're going to have a barbecue.TomHi Tom,Thanks mate, but I'm completely snowed under at the moment. I have to write an essay by Monday afternoon, so I'll be working all weekend. I've got nothing arranged for the following weekend though, so maybe we can meet then? I'll call you later.BobbyDear Tom,Like Bobby, I'm a bit tied up tomorrow. Unfortunately, I have to go to my great uncle's house for a family lunch. He was ill so we thought it might not happen, but it looks as ifit's going ahead. I really can't get out ofit because it's the old man's 60th birthday and most of the family will probably be there.MazOk you guys,I'm calling off the barbecue. Judging from the grey sky, it's going to rain all weekend anyway. Maybe you'll have done your various duties by the end of the evening and we can go for a drink instead! If you want to relax, I'll be in The Hart, a pub on King Street. Gloria and I are meeting there at about 8:30, as long as nothing else pops up!

To invite his friends to a barbecue.C. To go for a drink with his friends.D. To ask for help from his friends.25. The underlined part "snowed under" in the second email means¨"A. buried under snowB. very boredC. extremely busyD. entirely relaxed26. Which statement is TRUE according to the emails?A. Bobby is not available this Sunday.B. Maz has to visit his uncle for he is ill.C. The barbecue will take place on time.D. Tom will hold a party with his friends.27. What will Tom probably do after sending the last email?A. Prepare the barbecue.B. Go to the pub.C. Have a rest.D. Call his friends.CThe next time you go grocery shopping, try speaking to other customers. One summer day, I took a smile and a warm heart into a small store in Oregon and got far more than groceries.I love fresh produce(农产品) in the store, and not just for the amazing colors providedby summer's bounty (慷慨) or the chance to joy over new choices from other countries. It's also because I just love watching people pick their produce.The day I was there I found a sale on amazing cherry tomatoes-along with a woman in her late 70s. Despite the fact that we were strangers, we began to discuss apples. She noted a problem with the Pink Ladies. "They tasted like I was eating an unripe green apple from the tree," she said, twisting her face as if still tasting the sour apple.I wondered if this is something most of my generation can even remember doing. I surely do. I mentioned that I often could not resist the green yet tempting fruit swinging from an apple tree. This was the start for a series of discussions as we shopped-covering suchtopics as nutrition, new foods and the quality of produce.By this time a third woman had joined in our conversation. The three of us continued along, unexpected friends, chatting about family size and the troubles a mom might have serving healthful foods that please the whole family.Eventually we all went our separate ways, but in the dairy(奶制品) section I heard a small voice say, "I finally caught up with you." It was the first woman I'd talked to, extendinga bag of apricots(杏)to me. "I don't know if your family will eat these," she added, "but they have a super deal on them."Again I was brought back to my childhood, when I also ate apricots straight from the tree. My mouth watered at the remembered flavor.The old lady didn't realize that she'd given me far more than produce. With that offering came a sense of community, a flashback to days when it was OK to talk to a stranger. She brought back memories of summer fruits right from the tree-and a feeling that somehowthose apricots were a thank-you for sharing my time with her in a very unlikely place.28. One reason the author likes fresh produce in grocery shop is that _A. she enjoys observing people selecting fresh produceB. she likes watching people tasting fresh produceC. she produces fresh produce herselfD. she sells fresh produce herself29. What might be the problem with the Pink Ladies noted by the old lady?A. Their price was too high.B. Their color was too green.C. Their taste was too sour.D. Their size was too small.30. Why did the old lady bring a bag of apricots to the author?A. She found the apricots were on sale in the shop.B. She learned that the author wanted to buy apricots.C. She wanted to send the apricots as a gift to the author.D. She knew that the author's family liked eating apricots.31. According to the author, what is the extra value of grocery shopping?A. It adds flavor and color to her boring daily life.B. It helps her to see the importance of family life.C. It gives her a chance to learn about nutrition knowledge.D. It brings her unexpected friendship and sweet memories.DAnger often makes us uncomfortable. When you find your anger too uncomfortable to process, please let it go. But remember to create a healthy anger in your children is to practice creating a healthy anger in yourself. Once you're better at experiencing anger and expressing it in a healthy way, you'll be able to model a good style of anger for your kids.Some kids deal with anger by creating a "false self': a child who is perfect for their parents. People who have developed a false self are often passive aggressive and seem shallow because they've hid away all the feelings with depth and character.How do we keep kids from creating false selves? We need to raise them in an environment where it's safe to express feelings. Once you feel more comfortable with your own anger, you can teach your children why anger is a helpful emotion. When your kid expresses anger, help them examine what it is that has made them angry. Why did it make them angry? How did it do that? Then, you can teach them that while emotions are never wrong and are always valid, our expressions of our emotions are within our control.People who are afraid of their own anger will never learn how to listen to what their anger is trying to tell them. Instead of teaching our kids that their anger is wrong, that "happy families" are never angry, or that all feelings of anger lead to violence and fear, we can teach our children that anger is OK. Anger is natural, it is normal, and it can be experienced and expressed in a healthy way.32. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Anger makes us uncomfortable.B. Anger is difficult to deal with.C. Parents often lose their temper at home.D. Parents should model a good anger style.33. What would a child be like if he developed a "false self'?A. Polite and optimistic.B. Perfect and helpful.C. Negative and indirect.D. Rude and dishonest.34. What's the main purpose of the last 2 paragraphs?A. To give tips to create healthier anger.B. To suggest ways to avoid anger.C. To show the harm anger does to kids.D. To stress the importance of expressing anger.35. In which part of a website can we read the passage?A. Food& RecipesB. Psychology & HealthC. Life &EntertainmentD. School & Society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。

英语_2016年四川省成都七中某校高考英语二诊试卷含答案
2016年四川省成都七中某校高考英语二诊试卷第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共4小题;每小题8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.1. On the eve of our daughters'weddings, I gave both of them what I considered to be excellent marital advice: never leave your husband unsupervised (无人监督的) with pruning shears (修枝剪).________.I recently let my guard down.Thirty﹣some years of marriage can do that to a woman.Give a man pruning shears and electric trimmers (电动修剪器) and he will give new meaning to"armed and dangerous."One day earlier this year, my husband said that the crab apple tree was dead."Why do you think it is dead? "I asked."Look at it.There's not a leaf on it.""There's not a leaf on anything.It's March, "I said."It looked sick last fall and with this bitter winter we had, I'm convinced it's dead."The truth is he's never liked the crabapple.Sure, it has beautiful blooms in the spring, but then it gets a disease, the leaves curl, and it drops those little apples that sit on the driveway. Each passing week he pronounced the tree dead.Eventually I began to believe him.Though he agreed it would be a regrettable loss, there was a twinkle in his eye.He armed himself a couple of weeks ago and began trimming.A branch here, a branch there, a small limb, then a large limb.I watched and then decided to check the wood on some of the branches closer to the trunk.I broke one off and saw green.The crabapple was not dead.It just hadn't had time to leaf out.The tree was now fallingto one side, but it was not dead.I would have told him so, but he had moved on to a maple.Once the man starts, he can't stop.One trim leads to another."Please, stop!"I called.He smiled and nodded, but he couldn't hear because he had started the hedge (树篱)trimmers and was getting ready to fix a line of hedges.Zip (飕飕声), zip, zip."What do you think? "he shouted."It's supposed to be a privacy hedge; now all that will be private are our ankles."He started the trimmers again."Stop!"I called, "Come back!""Why? "he shouted."You're in the neighbor's yard."(1).By saying"if only I had taken my own advice."the author means that________.A she didn't follow her own advice about pruning shearsB she feels regretful about her marriage after many yearsC she should have kept a closer watch on herhusband D she shouldn't have given that marital advice to her daughters.(2).We can learn from the article that the author's husband________.A has a great talent for gardeningB nearly ruined their neighbor's gardenC mistooktheir crab apple tree for a maple tree D had never used pruning shears before.(3).What does the article mainly talk about?________A Why the author's husband insisted on trimming their crab apple tree.B Why husbands shouldn't be left to trim trees alone.C How the author has survived her"thirty﹣some"years of marriage.D How the author's husband killed their crab apple tree..(4).What is the tone of the article?________A Anxious.B Critical.C Serious.D Humorous.2. How cool can libraries be in an era of iPods and Kindles? More than you think.Only if you know where to go.Central Library: Seattle, Washington, United StatesThe Central Library in Seattle is modern and fashionable and has tourists from around the world paying visits and taking tours.It was designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and American designer Joshua Ramus.Tours began in 2006, two years after its opening.The library holds various art exhibitions, book signings and other events, while visitors can stop by the Chocolate cart for a coffee and scan through the gift shop anytime.Trinity College Library: Dublin, IrelandThe Trinity College Library in Dublin is the oldest library in Ireland, founded in 1592by Queen Elizabeth I.It is the largest single library in the world, also known as the Long Room, which contains more than 200, 000of the library's oldest books.The Long Room houses one of the oldest harps(竖琴)in Ireland.Dating to the 15th century, the old harpis the model for the symbol foreland.Geisel Library, University of California: San Diego, United StatesAt first glance, it looks like a spaceship.Architect William Pereira, who helped design actual space launch facilities at Cape Canaveral in Houston, Texas, designed the library in 1970.It has been featured in sci﹣fi films, short stories and novels.The library hosts"Dinner in the Library, "which invites readers for cocktails, and also a special speech from distinguished authors.TU Delft Library: The NetherlandsThe library at the Delft University of Technology was constructed in 1997and has more than 862, 000books, 16, 000magazine subscriptions and its own museum.The building itself exists beneath the ground, so you can't really see the actual Library.What makes it interesting is the roof, which is a grassy hill.The roof covers 5, 500square meters.And it has become one of the most striking and greenest structures in the area.(1).Which of the four libraries has the longest history?________A Central LibraryB Trinity College LibraryC Geisel LibraryD TU Delft Library.(2).What makes Geisel Library different from the others is that________.A Queen Elizabeth I founded the libraryB it has a roof of grassy hillC famous writers often deliver speeches thereD it is the largest single library in the world.(3).In Central Library,you can________.A drink cocktailsB buy souvenirsC enjoy sci﹣fi filmsD see the old harp.3. "A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website"is the definition of"selfie"in the Oxford English Dictionary.In fact, it wasn't even in the dictionary until August of last year.It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed with (对…痴迷)selfies─we take them when we try on a new hat, play with our pets or when we meet a friend whom we haven't seen in a while.But is there any scientific explanation for this obsession? Well, you should probably ask James Kilner, a neuroscientist(神经系统科学家) at University College London.Through our lifetime we become experts at recognizing and interpreting other people's faces and facial expressions.In contrast, according to Kilner, we have a very poor understan ding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at them─we just feel them most of the time.This has been proved in previous studies, according to the BBC.Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture.This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better﹣looking than we actually are.To further test how we actually ________ our own faces, Kilner carried out another study.He showed people different versions of their own portrait─the original, one that had been edited to look less attractive and one that was made more attractive─and asked them to pick the version which they thought looked most like them.They chose the more attractive version.But what does it say about selfies? Well, isn't that obvious? Selfies give us the power to create a photograph─by taking it from various angles, with different poses, using filters (滤色镜)and so on─that better matches our expectations with our actual faces."You suddenly have control in a way that you don't have in non﹣virtual(非虚拟的)interactions, "Kilner told the Canada﹣based CTV News.Selfies allow you"to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one you're happy with", he explained.(1).What is the passage mainly about?________A The definition and fun of taking selfies.B A study of why people love taking selfies.C How taking selfies influences people's daily lives.D How to interpret people's facial expressions in their selfies..(2).The underlined word"perceive"in Paragraph 5can be replaced by"________".A interpretB beautifyC chooseD explain.(3).What did Kilner discover from his researches?________A People tend to believe they look more attractive than they actually are.B People tend to spend more time looking at their faces than at others'.C People interpret others'facial expressions worse than their own.D People who like taking selfies know more about their facial expressions..(4).According to Kilner,people like taking selfies probably because they think________.A it is a good chance to learn more about their actual faces B it allows them to satisfytheir expectations with their appearances C it enables them to interact with their friends in social media D it is a way to respond to others'facial expressions correctly.4. Canadian short story writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature.Eighty﹣two﹣year﹣old Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112﹣year﹣old prize.Munro didn't publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37years old, but her stories have always been well﹣received.Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns.Even though she's won Canada's most famous literary award, the GillerPrize, twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the cherry on top of Munro's career."It brings this incredible recognition, both of her and her career, and of the dedication to the short story, "said one person.Along with the well﹣respected title comes 1.3million dollars.Munro said everything was"so surprising and wonderful"and that she was"dazed by all the attention and affection that has been coming my way."Munro knew she was in the running﹣she was named the second﹣most likely person to win this year's prize, after Haruki Murakami(村上春树)of Japan﹣but she never thought that she would win.Munro's win also represents the long way Canadian writers have come."When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world.Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around theglobe, "Munro said on Thursday.She is technically not the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but many like to think that she is.In 1976Saul Bellow, who was born in Quebec but moved to Chicago when he was still a child, won the prize.Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American writer."This is a win for us all.Canadians, by our very nature, are not very nationalistic, "said Geoffrey Taylor."But things like this suddenly make you want to find a flag."She wasn't sure whether she would keep writing if she won the prize, saying that it would be"nice to go out with a bang.But this may change my mind."(1).What is the feature of Munro's stories?________A They have specific themes for children.B They have similar story backgrounds.C They have their own complicated contents.D They have the same characters in each book..(2).For Munro,the Nobel Prize for Literature is an award for________.A her love for Canadian cultureB her devotion to the short storyC her special form of writingD her career of editing short stories.(3).What is implied in the sixth paragraph?________A Canadian writers have long been ignored.B Canadian writers are just a small community.C Canadian writers paid little attention to the prize.D Canadians have a long way to win the prize..(4).What does the passage mainly tell us?________A How Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize for Literature.B An introduction to the Nobel Prize for LiteratureC Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize for Literature.D A world﹣famous writer,Alice Munro.第二节(共1小题,每小题10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,选项中有两项为多余选项.5.

Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs. And yet, people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony(殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they should live by the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world.The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman form Paris called Gin. Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne.“I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,” says Gin. “I’ve been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment. I don’t see it as a lawless land. But rather I seeit as an area of freedom.”“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,”continues Gin. “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.”His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for. These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic, which brings with it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal and even suicide.28.

The modern French lifestyle.B. The self-supporting hunting.C. The uncivilized hunting.D. The French Republic.DA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.32. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.A. started sleep more easilyB. were more anxiousC. were less activeD. woke up later33.

But there wasn’t one. They created a one-day soup kitchen and were able to feed 60 needy people and allowed them to take the rest home.

One particular book was Froggy Goes to BED by Jonathan London. They would always tell how Froggy would go on these adventures in everyday life and finally his mom would call “Frooooggy” and tell him to do something he didn’t want to do and he would take a long time to do it.After hearing and learning to read these books, my parents kept giving me new books to read at night before bed and I realized reading wasn’t so bad, because it would help me sleep when I had trouble sleeping. Each story had an interesting plot and lesson.When I was older about the age of 11, I got really interested in Harry Potter. Once I started reading that throughout the day, I would think to myself, “If only I were a wizard and enrolled(入学)in a school like Hogwarts! Each day would be amazing and I could study whatever spells(咒语)I wanted.” I was totally absorbed in this series. My parents would read me a few chapters at night and my mom/dad would say “Good night, Even!” but I would always want to hear more.Today looking back on reading as a kid, I thank my parents for supplying me with the books as well as the willingness to read them. If I hadn’t been shown these books, my life might certainly a lot more dull and boring, and I might not be the same person I am right now.24. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?A.

The course had a specific Facebook page where students would create discussion groups and post links.“Some of the topics included social media manners, online marketing and current events,” Kapsis says.As technology continues to develop, colleges and universities will likely continue to find ways to combine it into their teaching.

However, that won’t go to great avail in short time. Earning scholarships is a great way to help you. The Financial Aid Office at Illinois State helps students identify scholarship opportunities every day. Here is some advice to help you.Begin in your own backyardMany schools have a list of several scholarships right there. Local awards can often be easier to get as the applicant pools are smaller and less competitive. Check with community organizations, banks and credit unions, and large employers who may offer scholarship opportunities in your area.Find your “hook”While you’re searching, consider what makes you special as a student. Your unique characteristics can help your scholarship applications stand out, as most scholarship providers want to encourage a particular behavior. Develop a routineEvery scholarship is different in terms of when you can apply, what you need to submit(提交), when the winner is announced, and how the money is given to you. Typically, scholarship applications open in the late fall or early spring for the next school year’s awards, but that also varies on the donor. There isn’t a single application or search engine that allows you to find and apply for everything. Visit the website of the Office of Student Financial Aid for lists of scholarship opportunities. Go through the lists to find the ones that match you best and keep track of when you can apply for them.32.
