But, now it is on an innovative path that has led to success and the market downturn has passed and it is seeing a second peak.It has stopped using the mass production lines that targeted big festivals and has turned instead to traditional lantern arts and culture and brought in new technology and developed new products to meet diverse demands from customers all across the country.Li Xiaoqian, head of one shop, says that they have turned from single-product groups to arts and crafts and are"making culture"instead of just products. Previously, they only catered to Shanxi culture, but now they embrace Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Taiwan cultures as well and even got the invitation from the city of Taichung, Taiwan to take part in 2015lantern show during Spring Festival there. And, Li goes on, even though this may not bring in big profits, it could be a good way to increase their influence through cultural exchanges.In their research, they also discovered a trend among museums and tourist spots that valued Chinese civilization and culture so they considered combining the traditional lantern business with tourism as another pathway and are now sorting through all kinds of historical materials and preparing for indoor exhibitions by cooperating with museums and exhibition centers.So, it looks as if, in the battle for the market, this crafts shop has finally come out a winner.(1) The lamp and lantern industry declined after.A. the prices went up sharply some years agoB. big festivals were celebrated in more waysC. we started to correct unhealthy social trendD. they lost attraction to their former customers(2) What has mainly helped lead to a new boom in the business?A.

There's a fair chance that you'd be doing it wrong.One of the interesting things about the mind is that even though we all have one, we don't have perfect insight(洞察力)into how to get the best from it. This is partly because of flaws(缺陷)in our ability to think about our own thinking. Studying this self-reflective thought process exposes human beings'mental blind spots.One area where these blind spots are particularly large is learning. We're actually surprisingly bad at having insight into how we learn best.Researchers Jeffrey Karpicke and Henry Roediger III made an experiment, where they asked college students to learn pairs of Swahili and English words. So, for example, they had to learn that if they were given the Swahili word "mashua" the correct response was "boat". They could have used the sort of facts you might get on a high-school quiz, but the use of Swahili meant that there was little chance their participants could use any background knowledge to help them learn. After the pairs had all been learnt, there would be a final test a week later.Now if many of us were revising this list we might study the list, test ourselves and then repeat this cycle, dropping items we got right. This makes studying and testing quicker and allows us to focus our effort on the things we haven't yet learnt. It's a plan that seems to make perfect sense, but it's a plan that is disastrous if we really want to learn properly.Karpicke and Roediger asked students to prepare for a test in various ways, and compared their success — for example, one group kept testing themselves on all items without dropping what they were getting right, while another group stopped testing themselves on their correct answers. On the final exam differences between the groups were dramatic. While dropping items from study didn't have much of an effect, the people who dropped items from testing performed relatively poorly.It seems the effective way to learn is to practice getting items back from memory, not trying to consolidate(巩固)them in there by further study. Moreover, dropping items entirely from your revision, which is the advice given by many study guides, is wrong. You can stop studying them if you've learnt them, but you should keep testing what you've learnt if you want to remember them at the time of the final exam.So the evidence has a moral for teachers: there's more to testing than finding out what students know — tests can also help us remember.(1) According to the passage, we often fail to remember facts because.A. we ignore our weakness in memorizing thingsB. we don't understand well what we are learningC. we don't know where our metal blind spots areD. we take improper ways to memorize for good ones(2) The researchers'experiment was intended to.A. confirm we don't know how to learn effectivelyB. find out how we can consolidate our knowledge betterC. distinguish effects of memory in learning different languagesD. prove the importance of background knowledge in memorizing(3) What does the author believe leads to a good memory?A. Constant measure of your knowledge.B. Frequent revision of what you learn.C. Firm abandonment of what you're poor at.D. Strong desire for grasping new knowledge.(4) The proper title for the passage is.A. An experiment on memoryB. A concept of human memoryC. A way to improve your memoryD. A discovery of a mental blind spot20、【来源】 2015年江苏南通高三一模第57~60题8分(每题2分)In the remote corner of the country a meteorological(气象的)station was set up. Next to the station was the manager's house. Apart from looking after the instruments, his job consisted of writing accurate reports on the state of the weather so that, should questions be asked, the authorities would not be at a loss but have the necessary information at hand.The manager was a most conscientious young man. He wrote his reports in a neat hand and always truthfully. If it rained he would not rest until he had described the rain from every possible angle:when, how much, for how long…Towards the end of the summer, storms became frequent and they brought rain with them. He described them truthfully in detail, and sent his reports to the head offices. The storms continued.One day he had a visit from an old and experienced colleague, who remarked casually before leaving: "I wonder, my friend, if your reports aren't a bit on the depressing side.""What do you mean?" The manager was surprised. "You can see with your eyes that it's pouring rain.""Yes, yes. Of course, everybody can see that. But you do understand, don't you, that we must approach the problem scientifically. Mind you, it's none of my business. I just mentioned it out of friendship."The young manager was left alone and continued compiling his reports. He gazed at the sky with some anxiety, but he went on writing.About that time he received an unexpected summon(传唤)from his higher authority. The authority received him in a lovely house. Rain was drumming on the roof."We've summoned you," announced the authority, "because we are surprised by one side nature of your reports. For some time now they've been affected by a pessimistic note. The harvest is on the way, and you keep on talking about rain. Don't you understand the responsible nature of your work?""But it keeps on raining…" said the manager.The authority said angrily, "We have here all your recent reports. You are a good worker, but I want you to understand that we shan't tolerate any defeatism!"The following day the weather improved. He was delighted and immediately wrote his report: "The rain has stopped completely and it has to be admitted that it has never rained very much. Just a few drops now and again. But now, what sunshine!"Indeed, the sun had broken through the clouds; it became warm and the earth was steaming. The manager went about his duties happily. In the afternoon clouds began to gather once more, driven by a cold wind. The time for his next report came and he wrote: "The sun behaves as usual. Already Copernicus has demonstrates that the setting of the sun is only apparent. In reality it always shines, only…"At this point he broke off, feeling very unhappy. When the first lightning struck, he shook off his opportunism and wrote simply: "17:00Thunderstorms."The next day brought another storm. He reported it. The day after, no storm, but hail(冰雹). He reported it. A strange calm, even a feeling of satisfaction, came over him. It lasted until the postman brought him another summon. This time it was from the Central Authority.When he returned from the capital there were no doubts in his mind. For several days he reported bright, sunny weather. Occasionally his reports struck a dialectical(辩证的)tone. For instance: "Occasional showers have caused certain flooding, but nothing can break the fighting spirit of the soldiers".More reports followed with descriptions of fine weather. Two months later he wrote a report puzzling the authority. An investigation discovered that he had written the report while under the influence of alcohol purchased with money obtained from the sale of his meteorological instruments.Thereafter nothing disturbed the sunny weather in his district. He was killed by lightning while walking round the fields, with a miraculous bell in his hand, trying to drive away the clouds.(1) The manager's friend actually asked him to handle the problem by.A. using a method based on scienceB. predicting possible changesC. studying carefullyD. performing a trick(2) To the authority, weather reports were to be given probably for the purposeof.A. meeting the expectations of the farmersB. promising the farmers a good harvestC. urging the farmers to get in their cropsD. proving the accuracy of their forecasts(3) The underlined word "pessimistic" in Paragraph 9means"".A. wishing something unusual to happenB. expecting something bad to happenC. doubting whether it will be trueD. hoping it is out of someone's favor(4) The manager wrote his weather reports.A. honestlyB. contradictoryC. ambiguouslyD. impatiently三、任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)21、【来源】 2015年江苏南通高三一模第61~70题10分Attitude is a way that we think and feel about someone, or a way that we behave. We all have great potential and we all desire good results from our efforts. Each of us has the ability to put our unique human potential into action and to acquire a desired result. But the one thing that determines the level of our potential, and that predicts the quality of the result we receive is our attitude.With a positive attitude we experience pleasant and happy feelings. This brings brightness to the eyes, more energy, and happiness. Our whole being broadcasts good will and happiness. We believe we will have a bright future. Even our health is affected in a beneficial way.A negative attitude creates unhappy feelings, moods and behavior. When the mind is negative, poisons are released into the blood, which cause more unhappiness and negativity. This is the way to failure, frustration and disappointment.People can affect our attitude by teaching us poor thinking habits or unintentionally misinforming us or providing us with negative sources of influence, but no one can control our attitude unless we voluntarily give in to that control. No one else"makes us angry. "We make ourselves angry when we give in to control of our attitude. What someone else may have done is irrelevant. We choose, not they. They merely put our attitude to a test. If we select a changeable attitude by becoming unfriendly, angry, jealous or suspicious, then we have failed the test. If we condemn ourselves by believing that we are unworthy, then again, we have failed the test.If we care at all about ourselves, then we must accept full responsibility for our own feelings. We must learn to guard against those feelings that have the possibility to lead our attitude down the wrong path and to strengthen those feelings that can lead us confidently into a better future.If we want to receive the rewards the future holds in trust for us, then we must exercise the most important choice given to us as members of the human race by maintaining (维持) full control over our attitude.Having the right attitude is one of the basics that success requires. The combination of a sound personal philosophy and a positive attitude about ourselves and the world around us gives us an inner strength and a firm resolve (决心) that influences all the other areas of our existence.Attitude Is Everything四、书面表达(满分25分)22、【来源】 2015年江苏南通高三一模第71题25分你的朋友Linda在美国攻读环保专业硕士,在最近给你的e-mail中,她对于明年毕业后是回家乡发展还是留在美国表示犹豫。

The time-honored lamp and lantern business in Pingyao county, Shanxi province was popular back wh en there were large festivities or celebrations and corporations, institutions and government offices needed lanterns to decorate their halls and streets.Then the central government started calling for budget cuts, and no unnecessary celebrati ons, so the industry was staring at a depressed market and a number of enterprises just shut down and the Pingyao faced a challenge. But, now it is on an innovative path that has led to s uccess and the market downturn has passed and it is seeing a second peak.It has stopped using the mass production lines that targeted big festivals and has turned instead to traditional lantern arts and culture and brought in new technology and developed n ew products to meet diverse demands from customers all across the country.Li Xiaoqian, head of one shop, says that they have turned from single-product groups to arts and crafts and are"making culture"instead of just products. Previously , they only catered to Shanxi culture, but now they embrace Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Tai wan cultures as well and even got the invitation from the city of Taichung, Taiwan to take par t in 2015 lantern show during Spring Festival there. And, Li goes on, even though this may no t bring in big profits, it could be a good way to increase their influence through cultural excha nges.In their research, they also discovered a trend among museums and tourist spots that valu ed Chinese civilization and culture so they considered combining the traditional lantern busi ness with tourism as another pathway and are now sorting through all kinds of historical ma terials and preparing for indoor exhibitions by cooperating with museums and exhibition ce nters.So, it looks as if in the battle for the market, this crafts shop has finally come out a winner.(1)The lamp and lantern industry declined after________.A the prices went up sharply some years ago.B big festivals were celebrated in more wa ys.C we started to correct unhealthy social trend.D they lost attraction to their form er customers.(2)What has mainly helped lead to a new boom in the business?________A Improving product quality.B Adjusting managing strategy.C Designing beautiful p atterns.D Advertising products widely.(3)Which is the main factor in Li's crafts shop winning the competition?________A Their technique.B Their talent.C Their creativity.D Their devotion.(4)One of the purposes of the news story is probably________.A to provide an example for other businesses to follow.B to ask more people to take part in 2015lantern show.C to introduce a good lamp and lantern shop to readers.D to c all for a yet more booming market in the business.29.

""But it keeps on raining…"said the manager.The authority said angrily, "We have here all your recent reports.You are a good worker, b ut I want you to understand that we shan't tolerate any defeatism!"The following day the weather improved.He was delighted and immediately wrote his re port: "The rain has stopped completely and it has to be admitted that it has never rained very much.Just a few drops now and again.But now, what sunshine!"Indeed, the sun had broken through the clouds; it became warm and the earth was steami ng.The manager went about his duties happily.In the afternoon clouds began to gather on ce more, driven by a cold wind.The time for his next report came and he wrote: "The sun be haves as usual.Already Copernicus has demonstrates that the setting of the sun is only app arent.In reality it always shines, only…"At this point he broke off, feeling very unhappy.When the first lightning struck, he shook off his opportunism and wrote simply: "17: 00Thunderstorms."The next day brought another storm.He reported it.The day after, no storm, but hail (冰雹).He reported it.A strange calm, even a feeling of satisfaction, came over him.It lasted until the postman brought him another summon.This time it was from the Central Authorit y.When he returned from the capital there were no doubts in his mind.For several days hereported bright, sunny weather.Occasionally his reports struck a dialectical (辩证的) tone.For instance: "Occasional showers have caused certain flooding, but nothing can break the fighting spirit of the soldiers".More reports followed with descriptions of fine weather.Two months later he wrote a re port puzzling the authority.An investigation discovered that he had written the report while under the influence of alcohol purchased with money obtained from the sale of his meteoro logical instruments.Thereafter nothing disturbed the sunny weather in his district.He was killed by lightning while walking round the fields, with a miraculous bell in his hand, trying to drive away the cl ouds.(1)The manager's friend actually asked him to handle the problem by________.A using a method based on science.B predicting possible changes.C studying ca refully.D performing a trick.(2)To the authority,weather reports were to be given probably for the purpose of________.A meeting the expectations of the farmers.B promising the farmers a good harvest.C urging the farmers to get in their crops.D proving the accuracy of their forecasts.(3)The underlined word"pessimistic"in Paragraph 9means"________".A wishing something unusual to happen.B expecting something bad to happen.C doubting whether it will be true.D hoping it is out of someone's favor.(4)The manager wrote his weather reports________.A honestly.B contradictory.C ambiguously.D impatiently.第四部分任务型阅读(共1小题;每小题10分,满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词.注意:每个空格只填1个单词.请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上.31. Attitude is a way that we think and feel about someone,or a way that we behave.We all have great potential and we all desire good results from our efforts.Each of us has the ability to put our unique human potential into action and to acqu ire a desired result.But the one thing that determines the level of our potential,and that predicts the quality of the result we receive is our attitude.With a positive attitude we experience pleasant and happy feelings.This brings brightness t o the eyes,more energy,and happiness.Our whole being broadcasts good will and happiness.We believe we will h ave a bright future.Even our health is affected in a beneficial way.A negative attitude creates unhappy feelings,moods and behavior.When the mind is negative,poisons are released into the blood,which cause more unhappiness and negativity.This is the way to failure,frustration and disappointment.People can affect our attitude by teaching us poor thinking habits or unintentionally misinfor ming us or providing us with negative sources of influence,but no one can control our attitude unless we voluntarily give in to that control.No one else "makes us angry."We make ourselves angry when we give in to control of our attitude.Wh at someone else may have done is irrelevant.We choose,not they.They merely put our attitude to a test.If we select a changeable attitude by beco ming unfriendly,angry,jealous or suspicious,then we have failed the test.If we condemn ourselves by believing that we are unworthy,then again,we have failed the test.If we care at all about ourselves,then we must accept full responsibility for our own feelings.We must learn to guard against those feelings that have the possibility to lead our attitude down the wrong path and to stre ngthen those feelings that can lead us confidently into a better future.If we want to receive the rewards the future holds in trust for us,then we must exercise the most important choice given to us as members of the human race by maintaining (维持) full control over our attitude.Having the right attitude is one of the basics that success requires.The combination of a so und personal philosophy and a positive attitude about ourselves and the world around us giv es us an inner strength and a firm resolve (决心) that influences all the other areas of our existence.Attitude Is Everything第五部分书面表达(满分25分)32. 你的朋友Linda在美国攻读环保专业硕士,在最近给你的e-mail中,她对于明年毕业后是回家乡发展还是留在美国表示犹豫.请你根据以下信息给她回一封邮件,劝她回家乡,并给她提一些建议.preferential policy 优惠政策注意:1.对所有要点逐一陈述,适当发挥,不要简单翻译.2词数150 左右,开头和结尾又记入总词数.3作文中不得提及有关考生个人身份的任何信息,如校名人名等.Dear Linda,In your e-mail you say you are not sure whether you return home or not after graduation.I think it is better for you to come back.I hope what I have written here can be of some help to you.All the best!YoursMary.2015年江苏省南通市高考英语一模试卷答案1.

It’s the most e ffective way to make friends during the first couple weeks of being away from home. I am a fairly quiet person, and I came to university without knowing anyone. It was a little hard at first, but as long as you participate and keep your spirits up, you should make new friends in no time.Resist the Urge to Go HomeI would suggest not making a habit of going home every weekend so you won’t miss out on things that happen during the weekend at school. Try to avoid going home the weekend after O-Week ends, or for all of September if possible. The first month will be the biggest adjustment and it's just easier to settle in, hang out with people and explore the city on weekends.Stay ConnectedI message and text my sister often and Facebook my friends to keep connected. Making new friends and diving into activities and homework is a great way to keepyourself occupied, but in those moments when you are feeling incredibly lonely andwondering what your mom is making for dinner, you need something extra. My recommendation is to have a couple photo albums to look through. It's also a good idea to make a plan to have a friend or family member come visit you. That way you have a piece of home to look forward to. Spend Time on CampusI met many off-campus people during O-week and in my classes, and some are now my best friends. Get involved in clubs, talk to people and don't go home immediately after your classes are done.Live in Residence Halls (寄宿)What you have to remember is that everybody else is going through the exact same things, so take comfort in that. Get to know your floor, let them become your home away from home and you'll see that you'll get through it easier than you thought. My residence holds lots of events such as parties and mixers for us to meet new people, I've attended all the events in my residence and school, and I've met tons of awesome people! What I'd say is: don't be shy, and socialize(社交). You'll make friends in no time. I've found residence halls to be beneficial, because my floor has helped each other through the transition (过渡时期). People living on your floor are more likely to understand your problems with school rather than your friends from high school who go to other universities.56. When you fees extremely lonely, you are advised toA. go back home immediatelyB. invite a friend to visit youC. devote yourself to homeworkD. Facebook your friends or family57. Why is it beneficial to live in residence halls?A. It is full of people with the same experience.B. It is as comfortable as your own house.C. It is convenient to hold parties and activities.D. It's similar to your old school.BGrowing up in the 1950s,I was a 10-year-old risk-taker who caused his mom lots of stress.Once I got into m y aunt’s car so I could pretend to be a race car drive and accidentally knocked the parking gear stick(变速杆) off. The car rolled down the driveway as fast as it could go, crossed the road and finally stopped up against my neighbour’s curb(路边)。

"He must have wished that,"Sonny said,"Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare?He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.""He didn't have such a wish,"I insisted."He won the race by perseverance (坚忍不拔),by pushing on steadily."Sonny thought a while."That's a lie,"he said."He won it because he was lucky.If the hare hadn't happened to fall asleep,the tortoise would never have won the race.He could be as steady as you like,or a hundred times steadier,but he'd never have won the race.That's for sure."I gave up.Today's children are not like what we used to be.They're just hopeless.31.The writer wanted his son.A.to learn from the tortoiseB.to open his eyes wideC.to enter for the 60﹣meter raceD.to have a big wish32.According to Sonny,it was the tortoise's wish that.A.the hare would be as steady as he wasB.he could run faster than the hareC.the hare would fall asleep during the raceD.he would have a sleep during the race33.Sonny believed that the tortoise won the race.A.by pushing on steadilyB.by luckC.by taking a riskD.by telling a lie34.It is clear that the writer in the end.A.learned a lessonB.won the argumentC.became impatientD.was satisfied.18.(6分)Uncle Caesar was waiting outside the hotel the next afternoon.He took me to Miss Adair's house and agreed to wait there until we had finished our business.Miss Adair did not look well.I explained the agreement (协议)to her.She signed it.Then,as she started to rise from the table,she fainted (晕倒)and fell to the floor.I picked her up and carried her to the old red sofa.I ran to the door and yelled to Uncle Caesar for help.He ran down the street.Five minutes later,he was back with a doctor.The doctor examined Miss Adair and turned to the old black driver."Uncle Caesar,"he said,"run to my house and ask my wife for some milk and some eggs.Hurry!" Then the doctor turned to me."She does not get enough to eat,"he said."She has many friends who want to help her,but she is proud.Mrs Caswell will accept help only from that old black man.He was once her family's slave.""Mrs Caswell?"I said in surprise."I thought she was Miss Adair.""She was,"the doctor answered,"until she married Wentworth Caswell twenty years ago.But he's a hopeless drunk who takes even the small amount of money that Uncle Caesar gives her."After the doctor left,I heard Caesar's voice in the other room."Did he take all the money I gave you yesterday?""Yes,Caesar,"I heard her answer softly."He took both dollars."I went into the room and gave Miss Adair fifty dollars.I told her it was from the magazine.Then Uncle Caesar drove me back to the hotel.35.Miss Adair fainted

come close to villages near national parks.The big animals are a real danger to people.So new tools called vuvuzelas have been given to people to keep the elephants away.They are plastic instruments some fans use at sports events.The instruments make a loud sound elephants do not like.The animals leave,and no one is harmed.Vuvuzelas work because they do not threaten (威胁)the elephants.That is important because an elephant that feels threatened is more likely to attack.So far,no one has reported an elephant attacking in answer to a vuvuzela.Officials and villagers have tried other ways to stop elephants from coming near farms and houses.They have built beehives (蜂巢)﹣houses for flying insects that sting (叮,蜇).They have hung ropes covered in spicy oil.They have dug long,deep holes.And they have used guns,called A﹣K47s.An official from the Uganda Wildlife Authority explains that people shoot the gun in the air to scare the elephant.But over time,the elephants have stopped being afraid of the sound of the gun.They only look at the shooter and wave their ears.Probably one day,elephants will accept the vuvuzela noise,just as they do the sound of the A ﹣K47.But right now,vuvuzelas are an effective (有效的),harmless and fun way to deal with a serious problem.38.Villagers are trying to keep away the elephants because they fear that.A.they don't have food to feed themB.they may threaten the elephantsC.the elephants may destroy the parkD.the huge animals may attack them39.The writer thinks it to use the vuvuzelas to keep away the giant animals.A.safeB.harmfulC.helplessD.difficult40.The meaning of the underlined word"accept"in the last paragraph is close to" ".A.be afraid ofB.be used toC.be pleased withD.be worried about41.Which of the following statements is true about vuvuzelas?A.Vuvuzelas were invented to keep elephants away from villagers.B.So far,vuvuzelas have been the only way to keep the elephants away.C.At present,vuvuzelas work better to keep away elephants than A﹣K47s.D.People in Uganda are thinking of making louder and better vuvuzelas.20.(8分)Tim Cook,the CEO of Apple,showed off their newest device (装置),the Apple Watch.Mr.Cook said it is the"most personal"device Apple has ever created.The Apple Watch is a very small computer a person wears on his or her wrist (手腕).An Apple Watch will be able to do many of the same things as an iPhone.It will show email,texts,news,health readings and other information.It will be different from just seeing what is on your phone.Like a phone,you will be able to receive calls on your wrist.Mr.Cook smiled while describing this."I've been wanting to do this since I was five years old,"he said."The day is finally here."Twenty years ago,a comic strip hero named Dick Tracy talked into his wrist watch,but until now,that has only been something possible in the future.The watches will be available in stores in late April.They will be sold at different prices,beginning at $349.But the high﹣end model will be thousands of dollars.Apple hopes to excite users so they will want to buy and wear computers on their bodies.The first smartwatches from Samsung,Sony and LG have not been selling well.Only five million smartwatches were sold last year.One problem with Apple Watch is that you need an iPhone on your body,or nearby,to make this watch fully functional.Like a phone,it will also need to be charged (充电)each night.It remains to be seen whether people really want to carry both a smartphone and a smartwatch.42.It is clear that Tim Cook.A.was the creator of the Apple WatchB.was proud of their new productC.is a better CEO than Steve Jobs wasD.is a true fan of comic strips43.Compared to other Apple devices,Apple Watch will.A.be more personalB.be much smarterC.sell betterD.excite more users44.The writer doesn't tell us whether Apple Watch can be used to.A.receive text messagesB.answer phone callsC.read the healthD.watch comic strips45.We learn from the passage that.A.the new device must be charged at nightB.users don't care carrying both a smartphone and a smartwatchC.Apple Watch will be useless without an iPhone nearbyD.the new products of Apple will be of different prices.四、词汇(本题共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)A)请根据括号中的中文提示、英文释义或句意,写出句中所缺单词,使句子通顺.21.(1分)The food in the restaurant was so(having a good taste)that we enjoyed

"Wash your hands!"How many times have you heard that from your parents? You might think they're just complaining you, but actually the most important thing you can do to keep from getting sick is to wash your hands.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, if you don't wash your hands often, you can pick up germs from other sources and then make yourself sick.You're at risk every time you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.In fact, one of the most common ways peop le catch colds is by rubbing their noses or their eyes after the cold virus has gotten on their h ands.If people don't wash their hands often (In particular when they're sick), they can spread germs directly to other people or onto surfaces that others touch.And before they know it, everyone around them is coming down with something!Think about all of the things that you touched today-from the telephone to the toilet.Maybe you blew your nose and played with your dog.Wh atever you did, you came into contact with germs.So it's easy for germs on your hand to end up in your mouth.By washing your hands often in the right way, you'll wash away germs-such as bacteria and viruses that you have picked up from other people, through polluted wa ter, food and surfaces, or from animals and animal wastes.Do you know that 1out of 5people don't wash their hands after using the restroom? Studen ts don't wash their hands often or well.In one study, only 58% of female and 48% of male middle-school and high-school students washed their hands after using the bathroom.Remember, washing your hands often is the key to preventing the spread of many common illnesses.(1)What can we learn from the passage?________A Some parents are always complaining children.B We will catch colds if we rub our n oses often.C If we can wash our hands often,we will never get sick. D It is easy for us to catch colds if we get the cold virus on our ha nds.(2)The underlined(划线)part in Paragraph 3probably means"________".A falling to the ground.B seeing you with gifts.C getting an illness.D leaving y ou alone.(3)Which of the following isn't mentioned in the passage?________A How people catch colds.B The right way to wash hands.C How to keep from g etting sick.D Germs are everywhere.(4)How to prevent the spread of the virus according to the passage?________A To keep away from germs.B To wash hands often.C Not to touch dirty things .D Not to keep dogs.19. If music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into a clever person.A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33volunteers who were getting better from heart disease after operations.They found those volunteers who exerci sed while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons did much better o n language ability tests than without music.It is also used in medical fields for patients who have had head hurts because of its moderate tempo (舒缓的节拍)."Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nerve (神经) system and these changes may improve the learning ability of people with heart disease , "said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study."And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding.We just wanted to put the two results together, "he added.The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and physically after exercising with or wit hout music.But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exerc ise.Scientists have proved that music can be good for health and education.It helps reduc e stress and sadness, encourage relaxation or sleep, wake up the body and improve memory and thoughts.Scientists have been studying the results of exercise to music on learning and understandi ng since the early 1950s.A study showed that students who listened to Mozart's violin pieces and exercised went on to get higher marks in an IQ test.With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music or play sports.But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.(1)What does the underlined word enhance mean?________A produce.B provide.C improve.D impress.(2)From the last paragraph we can learn that________.A you should follow your parents'words.B you have some good reasons to join in an I Q test.C good marks depend on listening to music and excising.D exercise to mu sic might help you get higher grades in tests.(3)Which of the following statements is true?________A Music helps volunteers get better from heart disease.B Exercise is used for people w ith head hurts.C Exercise causes no changes in health without music.D Music ca n help you relax and feel energetic.(4)What might be the best title of the passage?________A Exercise to Music.B Music and study.C Importance of Music.D Studies on Exercise.20. "Hey, Jenna, do you think we'll still be friends when we're eighty-two? "I asked my friend.It was clear that she was wondering where I had come up with suc h a question.Losing Jenna would be like losing a very close sister.We killed time together .We gave each other advice."Of course, we'll still be friends when we're eighty-two."Jenna announced loudly.The next year, in the fourth grade, we met Jamie.The three of us soon became close friend s.We played together almost every day.I thought even time couldn't pull us apart, but I wa s sadly wrong.The three of us started fighting a lot.Before Christmas, we had a really big fight, and Jami e and Jenna were against me, both saying I was bossy.I felt helpless and lonely.I thought C hristmas would be very terrible!I was surprised when Jenna came to my house and gave me a fantastic Christmas card she had made for me.I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me."Wow, "I said, breaking the silence as we stood on either side of my front door."Thanks.""Okay…well…I have to go, "she said softly."Okay.See you later then…"and I closed the door."Who was that at the door?

way to make friends during the first couple weeks of being away from home.I am a fairly quiet person, and I came to university without knowing anyone.It was a little hard at first, but as long as you participate and keep your spirits up, you should make new friends in no time.Resist the Urge to Go HomeI would suggest not making a habit of going home every weekend so you won't miss out on things that happen during the weekend at school.Try to avoid going home the weekend after O﹣Week ends, or for all of September if possible.The first month will be the biggest adjustment and it's just easier to settle in, hang out with people and explore the city on weekends.Stay ConnectedI message and text my sister often and Facebook my friends to keep connected.Making new friends and diving into activities and homework is a great way to keepyourself occupied, but in those moments when you are feeling incredibly lonely andwondering what your mom is making for dinner, you need something extra.My recommendation is to have a couple photo albums to look through.It's also a good idea to make a plan to have a friend or family member come visit you.That way you have a piece of home to look forward to.Spend Time on CampusI met many off﹣campus people during O﹣week and in my classes, and some are now my best friends.Get involved in clubs, talk to people and don't go home immediately after your classes are done.Live in Residence Halls (寄宿)What you have to remember is that everybody else is going through the exact same things, so take comfort in that.Get to know your floor, let them become your home away from home and you'll see that you'll get through it easier than you thought.My residence holds lots of events such as parties and mixers for us to meet new people, I've attended all the events in my residence and school, and I've met tons of awesome people!What I'd say is: don't be shy, and socialize(社交).You'll make friends in no time.I've found residencehalls to be beneficial, because my floor has helped each other through the transition (过渡时期).People living on your floor are more likely to understand your problems with school rather than your friends from high school who go to other universities.(1).When you fees extremely lonely,you are advised to________A go back home immediatelyB invite a friend to visit youC devote yourself to homeworkD Facebook your friends or family.(2).Why is it beneficial to live in residence halls?________A It is full of people with the same experience.B It is as comfortable as your own house.C It is convenient to hold parties and activities.D It's similar to your old school.18. Growing up in the 1950s, I was a 10﹣year﹣old risk﹣taker who caused his mom lotsof stress.Once I got into my aunt's car so I could pretend to be a race car drive and accidentally knocked the parking gear stick(变速杆) off.The car rolled down the driveway as fast asit could go, crossed the road and finally stopped up against my neighbour's curb(路边). I thought it was fun, but Mom didn't think so.Normally would see a spanking (打屁股)coming, but this time I lucked out.I guess she was glad I was all right.I enjoyed watching The Adventure of Superman on television so much that I wanted to fly just like him.One day I got into the closet and picked one of Mom's best pillowcases(被套). I went out onto the front yard and tied the case around my neck, pretending it was a cape(斗篷).Then, standing on the side of the porch(走廊), which was about 7feet high, I jumped.The spanking my mother gave me didn't hurt as much as my scraped knees. But the worst thing I ever did happened when I tried to impress the new girl across the street.She was incredibly cute, so I went over and introduced myself.After I told her my name, she said she wanted to show me something she had found.We went into her backyard, and in the knot of the biggest and oldest tree was a beehive.She said she liked honey and asked me how to get it out."we could stand watch, and when they leave the hive, we can reach in and take thr honey, "I suggested.A large group of the bees flew away, so I moved closer to the hive.I was brave and maybe just a little crazy.I managed to take a little bit of honey when a bee rested on my arm.I killed the bee, and then it seemed like thousands of bees flew toward me.My new friend screamed and ran.I ran as fast as I could across her yard and up the long hill to my front door.I never looked back.The sound of the bees behind me told me ________.When the group of bees attacked, I screamed for my mom.As I reached my front door I saw her swimming a broom around me to get the bees off me.I didn't care that she landed a few hard hits on my head.I just wanted them off.Finally I made it inside, some from the stings(蛰)and red from the boom, but I was alive thanks to my mom.My superhero.All she needed was a cape.I knew where to get herone of those.(1).What is the article mainly about?________A Learning through adventures.B The author's naughty behavior as achild. C The author's great love for his mother. D The author's experience of being stung by bees..(2).What does the underlined phrase"the coast wasn't clear"mean in the article?________ A I need to go to the coast. B I got rid of the bees C I was still in danger. D It was a long way home..(3).What's the author's impression of his mother?________A Strict but lovingB Gentle but braveC Patient and tolerantD Serious and reasonable.19. An app that does nothing but send a simple notification(提醒) of"Yo"to recipients is the most popular app right now in the US.The app, named Yo, reached No.1 on the Apple App Store in the US last week, after The Financial Times broke the story on June 18 that the app has received $ 1 million (6.23 million yuan) in investment funding.Created in just eight hours by Arbel, a 32﹣year﹣old app development from TelAviv, Israel, Yo claims to be the"simplest and most efficient communication tool in the world".With a single tap, users can send the word"Yo"to one another in a voice notification﹣and nothing else.Arbel said about his app in an interview with The New Yorker that, "It's a whole new wayof communication.A hundred and forty characters is way too much these day…It's lightweight, easy, you don't have to open a message﹣the notification itself is everything you need."When Yo was launched on April Fools'Day this year, the Apple App Store at first rejected on the grounds that it lacked substance.Many people still see the app as a joke.Arbel calls Yo"context﹣based(基于语境的) communication"and some people are beginning to"get it".Jordan Crook, from Tech Crunch, explains why the context of a"Yo"says much more than two little letters: As with anything, a"Yo"can just be a"Yo".But you'll feel a very real difference between a"Yo"get in the morning from a friend and a"Yo"you get in the evening from a board friend.Trust me.And that's the magic.But people don't always want to load their"Yos"with meaning.David Shapiro, from The New Yorker, says now when he thinks about someone, he just"Yos"them instead of spending time starting and carrying on a conversation.He says it's a great way of saying: "I'm thinking about you but I don't have anything in particular to say."Social media constantly demands our time and attention.Not responding to text message and e﹣mail can hurt relationships.But, Shapiro says a"Yo"doesn't seem to demand a reply, "What a relief, "he says.(1).Which of the following is TRUE about the app Yo?________A It is a better type of social media than micro﹣blogging.B It was launched on April Fools'Day this year as a joke.C Because it is simple to use,it has become an instant success.D Though it enjoys great popularity in the US,opinions on it are still divided..(2).The underlined word"substance"in Paragraph 5probably means________.A adequate investmentB necessary technique supportC the quality of being meaningfulD the quality of being fashionable.(3).According to David Shapiro,Yo________.A has more meanings than two letters.B is an efficient way to connect with others.C is the best way to indicate that you're missing someone.D is useful when you want to start a conversation but don't know what to say..(4).The main purpose of the article is to________.A tell the story of how Yo was createdB present people's opinions of YoC give a brief introduction of YoD attract potential customers to Yo.20. One of India's great economic advantages is the relative youth of its population.By 2020it will become the world's youngest country, with 64% of its people at working age.To make the most of this advantage, India's children need to be educated.On paper, India is doing well.The country has a nationwide network of state primary schools funded by an earmarked(指定的) tax.Some 96% of children aged 6﹣14go to school, even in rural areas.That's well above the average for the developing world and their attendance is good.But attainment is poor; three﹣quarters of third﹣graders can't read a grade﹣one text and 53% of grade﹣five kids can't read at the standard they should have achieved at grade two.Levels of achievement are almost as bad in maths."The main problem in India is not enrollment(入学人数) or whether there is a local school; it's the delivery of education﹣﹣﹣the way teaching is done or not done, "says Vinati Sukhdev, executive director of Pratham, a charity that campaigns for better education in India.According to Ms Sukhdev, the country's teachers are the third﹣best﹣paid in the world but they're poorly trained and are often absent﹣﹣﹣it's not uncommon for them to hold a second job outside school.Teacher attendance at primary level is only85%, according to Pratham research and there is little punishment for those who don't turn up.Because more than 30% of India's state primary schools are tiny establishments with just 60or even fewer pupils﹣﹣﹣rising to 60%in the far north and north east﹣﹣﹣the absence of a teacher is likely to mean that there is no learning that day.The government knows that state schooling needs improving.In 2009, it passed the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act or the Right to Education (RTE) Act, a law for the national provision of free, child﹣friendly education.It says that there should be two teachers for every 60students and that they should go to work regularly, get there on time, follow the curriculum, assess how well the children are learning and meet regularly with parents.There has been some progress, though from a low base.According to Ms Sukhdev, 45% of schools agree with the pupil/teacher ratios(比率), up from 39% in 2010, when the law took effect.Infrastructure is improving too.Two﹣thirds of state primaries now have a working toilet."What we need to do next is improve accountability(责任), "says Ms Sukhdev.Schoolshave management committees that are supposed to include parent and local government representatives."But they don't work or people don't know they exist."Pratham tries to help local communities and parents drive improvement."You should see the kind of reaction we get when they realize the teacher is paid but isn't turning up!"says Ms Sukhdev."We can't be everywhere, so we limit ourselves to working in a fewdistricts, where we can create model schools.Then we try to work together with local governments to make sure every school in the district or state is raised to________."the Read India program was launched by Pratham in 2007and now it has created an easy ﹣to﹣use teaching and assessment pack called Learning to read.It has trained teachers in how to use the pack in school and shown community health workers, volunteers and parents how it could support learning outside school.The program has now run across19states, involving 450, 000volunteers and training 600, 000teachers and government workers.Among the 33m children who have participated, the number of those who can read simple sentences has risen by 20%.For Ms Sukhdev, the success of Read India underlines the need to find ideas that can be replicated(复制).According to the UNESCO money and attendance level are important﹣﹣﹣but it's the quality of education delivered that really matters.(1).What problem with India's education does Paragraph 2show?________A India's efforts in education are not well rewarded.B India's primary schools lack financial support.C Kids hardly attend school in India rural areas.D India third ﹣graders often read grade﹣one texts..(2).Who are to blame for India's poor education according to Vinati Sukhdev?________A Local governmentsB School teachersC School studentsD Educational organizations.(3).According to the passage,the RTE Act is mainly to________.A improve teachers'teaching skillsB offer students many more coursesC set up a teacher﹣friendly educationD regulate teachers'teaching behavior.(4).The underlined words"that level"in paragraph 7refer to________.A the educational level of model schoolsB the required level of schoolmanagement C the required level of teachers'attendance D the educational level of average Indian schools.(5).How do parents feel about the findings of Pratham's research?________A UnconcernedB AngryC RegretfulD Sympathetic.(6).What can be learnt about the Read India program?________A It is in the charge of the UNESCOB It has helped train about 33m teachersC It encourages more students to attend schoolsD It is an example of what targeted help can achieve.第四部分任务型阅读21. Teenager bedwetting can be caused by a number of factors,some of which may be related to serious health issues.Bedwetting that starts suddenly can be a sign of serious trauma(创伤)or minor problems,like allergies.An isolated incident may be related to substance abuse.One of the major causes of teenager bedwetting is simple genetics.Some teenagers mature more slowly than others,some have underdeveloped bladders(膀胱),and some have a family history of bedwetting.Given that these problems are usually present throughout childhood,it is likely that teenage bedwetting due to these causes will have a long history.Most people do eventually grow out of this type of bedwetting.In some cases,teenage bedwetting can be caused by dietary changes.Increases in caffeine,dairy products,and other substances can cause a teenager to relapse(复发)into bedwetting.Isolating the problem can be difficult because the teenager may or may not be allergic to the substance.Emotional troubles sometimes lead to bedwetting as well.Stress and trauma,in particular,can lead to uncontrolled bedwetting.In some cases,a teenager may be hiding the sourceof the severe trauma and may not be willing to give information when confronted.Caseslike these are often handled by psychologist.There are a number of causes of teenage bedwetting that relate to how urine(小便)is produced and the available space in which to store it.A teenager may for any number of reasons begin to produce excess urine.It is also possible that he or she has a small bladder that is not capable of handling the amount of urine produced at night.Having a small bladder does not necessarily imply that a person will wet the bed,so bladder size may not always provide a definitive answer.In combination with a sleep disorder,which may prevent the teenager from waking up when the bladder is full,these conditions can produce bedwetting.It can be hard to diagnose(诊断)the cause of bedwetting in teens,but understandingwhy a teenager is wetting the bed can be helpful not only for health but for emotional security as well.Teenagers are often ashamed of wetting the bed,and this shame may interfere with their other activities.By diagnosing the cause even if there is no cure,a teenager who suffers from bedwetting may experience an improvement in overall quality of life.第五部分书面表达第一节单词拼写(每题2分)22.

Dozens of old people gather in public parks and squares early in the morning,turn on the loudspeakers and dance to music,which has been controversial because of the noise pollution it creates(高分句型一).Some citizens hold the view that the loud noise is unbearable,thus disturbing the normal life of the people living near the squares and they also hope that the groups can keep the volume down to create a quiet environment.However,the retirees think group dancing brings them health and happiness,without which their life will be extremely boring(嘈杂的音乐声…;希望调低音量…)(高分句型二).Besides,they have their own right todance on the square as it is also one of the recreational activities like playing chess or playing cards.In my opinion,there is no denying that getting together to dance allows the elderly to maintain health and be social (make more new friends who share the same hobby with them,and build up their body as well).However,whatever their choice of entertainment,it's important not to neglect the public order and affect other people's lives.So it's time for the government to draft regulations which include details such as the restrictions on the volume,the areas and the musical equipment(休闲活动…;健康与愉悦…).Only in this way can we see a harmonious scene.。

Why did I come today? I wondered. My Christmas 16 contained (包含) several people that claimed they wanted nothing. But I knew their feelings would be hurt 17 I didn’t buy them anything, so gift buying was fun.Hurriedly, I finished shopping and 18 the long checkout lines. In front of me were a boy of about 5 and a younger girl. She carried a beautiful pair of 19 shoes. When we finally reached the cashier’s desk, the girl 20 placed the shoes on the counter. She treated them as if they were a 21 .“That will be $6.09,” the cashier said. The boy 22 his pockets. He finally came up with $3.12. “I guess we will have to put them back,” he said. “We will come back so me other time, maybe tomorrow.”“But Jesus (耶稣) would have loved these shoes,” a soft cry broke from the 23 .“Well, we’ll go home and work some more. Don’t cry. We’ll surely 24 ,” he said.Quickly I 25 $3.00 to the cashier. These children had waited in line for a long time. And, after all, it was Christmas. Suddenly a pair of 26 came around me and a small voice gratefully said, “Thank you, lady.”“What did you 27 when you said Jesus would like the shoes?” I asked. The boy answered, “Our mo mmy is 28 and going to heaven (天堂). Daddy said she might go beforeChristmas to be with Jesus.” The girl spoke, “My Sunday school teacher said the streets in heaven are shiny gold, just like these shoes. Won’t mommy be 29 walking on those streets in these shoes?”My eyes flooded as I looked into her tear-streaked face. “Yes,” I answered, “I am sure she will.” Silently I thanked God for using these children to 30 me of the true spirit of giving.16.
