He makes full 1 of the facts he observes. He doesn’t accept ideas which are not 2 on obvious facts, and therefore refuses to accept authority(权威) as the only 3 for truth. He always 4 ideas carefully and makes experiments to prove them.The rise of 5 science may perhaps be considered to 6 as far back as the 7 of Roger Bacon, the wonderful philosopher(哲学家) of Oxford, who live 8 the years 1214 and 1292. He was probably the first in the middle 9 to suggest that we must learn science 10 observing and experimenting on the things around us, and he himself 11 many important discoveries.Galileo, however, who lived more than 300 years later (1564-1642), was the greatest of several great men, 12 in Italy, France, Germany, or England, began by 13 to show how many important 14 could be discovered by observation. Before Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fell more 15 towards the earth than small ones, 16 Aristotle said so. But Galileo, going to the 17 of the leaning Tower of Pisa, let fall two18 stones and proved Aristotle was wrong. It was Galileo’s 19 of going direct to Nature, and proving our 20 and theories by experiment, that has led to all the discoveries of modern science.1. A. use B. time C. speed D. trust2.

甘肃省甘谷县第一中学2015届高三英语上学期第一次检测考试试题（含解析）第一部分第一节阅读理解（共两节,6篇满分52分）ALike many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do．My degree，with honors in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical．I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow，but I had no idea how to do that．That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project．I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers．I knew it would be a lot of hard work，and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time．In short，I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly．Neither did my family．Eventually，however，I won the support of my family，and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application．After countless interviews and presentations，I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone．Several months later，I finally received a call asking me to report for duty．I would be going to a small village near Abuja，Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea．But I was about to find out．After completing my training，I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation．Though the local villagers were poor，they offered their homes，hearts，and food as if I were their own family．I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse．For the next year or so，I taught in that same schoolhouse．But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me．Sometime during that period，I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did，though I did not get anywhere with the local language，and I returned to the United States a different man．The LighthouseProject had changed my life forever．【小题1】 What do we know about the author?A．His dream at university was to become a volunteer．B．His university education focused on theoretical knowledge．C．He took pride in having contributed to the world．D．He felt honored to study English literature．【小题2】 According to Paragraph 2，it is most likely that the author______． A．discussed his decision with his familyB．asked previous volunteers about voluntary workC．attended special training to perform difficult tasksD．felt sad about having to leave his family and friends【小题3】 In his application for the volunteer job，the author_______．A．participated in many discussionsB．went through challenging survival testsC．wrote quite a few papers on voluntary workD．faced strong competition from other candidates【小题4】 On arrival at the village, the author wasA. asked to lead a farming teamB. sent to teach in a schoolhouseC. received warmly by local villagersD. arranged to live in a separate house.【小题5】What can we infer from the author’s experiences in Nigeria?A. He found some difficulty adapting to the local cultureB. He had learned to communicate in the local language.C. He had overcome all his weaknesses before he left for home.D. He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students.BI was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized．Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere．She even labeled(贴标签)everything．I always looked for everything．Over time，Kate got neater and I got messier．She would push my dirty clothing over，and I would lay my books on her tidy desk．So we both got tired of each other．War broke out one evening．Kate came into the room．Soon，I heard her screaming，“Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!”Deafened，I saw my shoes flying at me．I jumped to my feet and started yelling．She yelled back louder．The room was filled with anger．We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call．Kate answered it．From her end of the conversation，I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill．When she hung up，she quickly crawled(爬)under her covers，sobbing．Obviously，that was something she should not go through alone．All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart． Slowly，I collected the pencils，took back the books，made my bed，cleaned the socks and swept the floor，even on her side．I got so into my wo rk that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up．She was watching，her tears dried and her expression was such disbelief．Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine．I looked up into her eyes．She smiled at me，“Thanks．”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year．We didn’t always agree，but we learned the key to living together：giving in, cleaning up and holding on．【小题1】 What made Kate so angry one evening?A．She couldn’t find her books．B．She heard the author shouting loud．C．She got the news that her grandma was ill．D．She saw the author's shoes beneath her bed．【小题2】 The author tidied up the room most probably because_____．A．she was scared by Kate’s angerB．she hated herself for being so messyC．she wanted to show her careD．she was asked by Kate to do so【小题3】 How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A．By analyzing causes． B．By showing differences．C．By describing a process． D．By following time order．【小题4】 What might be the best title for the story?A．My Friend Kate B. Hard Work Pays OffC. How to be OrganizedD. Learning to be Roommates【答案】【小题1】D【小题2】C【小题3】BCHere is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries．In Brazil(巴西）Brazilians are warm and friendly．They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder．People often greet each other (particularly women)with light cheek kisses . Schedules tend to be flexible，with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned．But to be safe，be on time．Meals can stretch for hours--there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil．Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon．Brazilians are social，preferring face-to-face communication over emails or phone calls．In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small，polite bow．Business cards should be offered and received with two hands．Arriving late is considered disrespectful．So be on time．Efficiency(效率)is the goal，so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced．Singaporeans are direct in their discussions，even when the subject is about money．Rank is important and authority is respected． This determines how people interact in meetings．For example，people avoid disagreeing outright with someone of a higher rank．In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE，status（地位） is important，so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles．The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere．So do not pull away from the handshake．Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress．Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部)and down to the knees．People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants．Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided．When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee，you should refuse．It might seem odd，but it is a cultural tradition．Coffee should only be accepted if it is already set out or presented．In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name．They also are respectful of private lives．You should be careful not to ask about personal topics．Punctuality(守时)is vital，something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time．Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe．They also have clear structure in their companies．Higher-ups make the final decisions，even if others might disagree．Neat，clean dress is expected．The Swiss follow formal table manners．They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table．It is polite to finish the food on your plate．【小题1】 The passage is mainly about_______．A．communication types B．the workplace atmosphereC．customs and social manners D．1iving conditions and standards【小题2】 Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A．They put efficiency in the first place．B.

B．How to Learn BestC．Choose Your Style D．Learning StylesEPerhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money．Strange as it may seem，if you’re unsatisfied，the issue(问题) is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires--not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you do n’t have enough tastes．Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities(能力)to enjoy life．Most people are already swamped(淹没)with things．They eat，wear，go and talk too much．They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a deserted hut(茅屋).Your house of life ought to be a mansion(豪宅)，a royal palace. Every new taste，every additional interest，every fresh enthusiasm(热情) adds a room．Here are several rooms your house of life should have．Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things．If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit onthem，they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you’re hungry．Literature，classic literature，is a beautiful，richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment．To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person，for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library．Music like Mozart’s and Bach’s shouldn’t be absent．Real riches are of the spirit．And when you’ve brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk．you have increased your thrills and bettered them．And life is a matter of thrills．Sports，without which you remain poor，mean a lot in life．No matter who you are，you would be more human，and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days，if you could，and did，play a bit．Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life，the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding．【小题1】 The author intends to tell us that ________．A．true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair meansB．big houses are people’s most valued possessionsC．big houses can in a sense bring richness of lifeD．true happiness comes from spiritual riches【小题2】The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that__________.A. however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfiedB. however materially rich, they remain spiritually poorC. though their house is big, they prefer a simple lifeD. though their house is big, it seems to be a cage【小题3】 It can be learned from the passage that __________.A. more money brings more happinessB. art is needed to make your house beautifulC. literature can enrich your spiritual lifeD. sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness【小题4】 What would be the best title for the passage?A.

His parachute fail to open, and he was killed.In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for “men only”. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action.Now there are “stuntgirls” too!1．Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage?A．Film Stars.

It is said that long long ago in Europe when people met, they showed their unarmed(无武器的) hands to each other as a sign of friendship. As time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly, people in cities began to clap each other's hands to make a deal or to reach an agreement. This practice was later changed into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other. "Let's shake (hands) on it" sometimes means agreement reached.Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet? No. Sometimes the Chinese abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite. It is really very impolite to give your hand when the other party, especially when it is a woman, shows little interest in shaking hands with you and when the meeting does not mean anything to him or her. Even if, for politeness, he holds out his unwilling hand in answer to your uninvited hand, just touch it slightly. There is generally a misunderstanding among the Chinese that westerners are usually open and straightforward, while the Chinese are rather reserved(保守的) in manner. But in fact some people in western countries are more reserved than some Chinese today. So it is a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only when he shows interest in further relations with you.8. In the old days in Europe, people put out their unarmed hands to each other ______.A. to make a dealB. to greet each otherC. to show friendlinessD. to reach an agreement9. The first paragraph mainly tells us ______.A. where handshaking was first practisedB. how handshaking came aboutC. about the relationship between handshaking and tradeD. about the practice of handshaking both in Europe and in China10. According to the text, which of the following statements is true?A. Westerners are more reserved than the Chinese.B. Westerners are unwilling to shake hands.C.

The main purpose of the text is ______.A. to tell us some differences between the East and the WestB. to offer us some important facts about handshakingC. to introduce us to some different customs in the WestD. to give us some advice before we travel abroadDIf you live in Washington, D．C., or Redwood, Calif., you may have glimpsed a small, boxyrobot rolling along a local sidewalk, minding its own business, but attracting the attention of many a curious onlooker.The robots, which look like electric rice cookers with wheels, were part of a pilot program last year by Starship Technologies focused on delivering meals from local restaurants in dozens of cities around the world.This week, the company revealed plans to broaden it’s delivery service beyond food to include packages, a move that made it “the world’s first robot package delivery service”. The package delivery service is only available in some cities in the US.The wheeled robots have a top speed of 4 mph and and can detect barriers from as far as 30 feet away. “The robot can operate through just about anything,” says Nick Handrick, head of operations for Starship’s D．C．office, “If you have something in the way, it’s able to climb it.” By giving customers control of when deliveries occur, Starship Technologies is promoting its service as a way to combat package theft.To sign up for the service, which costs a little more than $10 per month, customers need to download the company’s app. Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address,” a unique address inside a Starship facility, instead of a home address, where they can have packages sent from places such as Amazon. com.Once a package is delivered to the Starship address, customers receive a text notice that allows them to schedule a home delivery via robot. The robots are opened by customers with a mobile phone code (代码).12. What do we know about Starship Technologies company?A. Packages are delivered by its robots all round America.B. Its robots have taken on package delivery for a long time.C. It is the first to provide robot package delivery service.D. Its delivery service is the best of all in the world.13. What does the underlined word “combat” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. DelayB. Prevent.C. Report.D. Discover.14. What can we learn about robot package delivery service?A. Customers can’t ope n the robots without a mobile phone code.B. Starship Delivery Address is the customer’s home address.C. Customers have to pay a little more than $10 each time.D. Robots themselves have control over when to deliver packages.15. What may be the best title for the passage?A. Robot Delivery Service Is Taking OffB. Humans Are Being Replaced by RobotsC. Everything Can Be Done by RobotsD. Packages Can Be Delivered by Robots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。

甘谷县第一中学2015届高三上学期第一次检测考试英语试题第一部分第一节阅读理解（共两节,6篇满分52分）ALike many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do．My degree，with honors in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical．I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow，but I had no idea how to do that．That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project．I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers．I knew it would be a lot of hard work，and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time．In short，I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly．Neither did my family．Eventually，however，I won the support of my family，and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application．After countless interviews and presentations，I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone．Several months later，I finally received a call asking me to report for duty．I would be going to a small village near Abuja，Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea．But I was about to find out．After completing my training，I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation．Though the local villagers were poor，they offered their homes，hearts，and food as if I were their own family．I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse．For the next year or so，I taught in that same schoolhouse．But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me．Sometime during that period，I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did，though I did not get anywhere with the local language，and I returned to the United States a different man．The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever．1．What do we know about the author?A．His dream at university was to become a volunteer．B．His university education focused on theoretical knowledge．C．He took pride in having contributed to the world．D．He felt honored to study English literature．2．According to Paragraph 2，it is most likely that the author______．A．discussed his decision with his familyB．asked previous volunteers about voluntary workC．attended special training to perform difficult tasksD．felt sad about having to leave his family and friends3．In his application for the volunteer job，the author_______．A．participated in many discussionsB．went through challenging survival testsC．wrote quite a few papers on voluntary workD．faced strong competition from other candidatesBI was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized．Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere．She even labeled(贴标签)everything．I always looked for everything．Over time，Kate got neater and I got messier．She would push my dirty clothing over，and I would lay my books on her tidy desk．So we both got tired of each other．War broke out one evening．Kate came into the room．Soon，I heard her screaming，“Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!”Deafened，I saw my shoes flying at me．I jumped to my feet and started yelling．She yelled back louder．The room was filled with anger．We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call．Kate answered it．From her end of the conversation，I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill．When she hung up，she quickly crawled(爬)under her covers，sobbing．Obviously，that was something she should not go through alone．All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart．Slowly，I collected the pencils，took back the books，made my bed，cleaned the socks and swept the floor，even on her side．I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up．She was watching，her tears dried and her expression was such disbelief．Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine．I looked up into her eyes．She smiled at me，“Thanks．”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year．We didn’t always agree，but we learned the key to living together：giving in, cleaning up and holding on．6．What made Kate so angry one evening?A．She couldn’t find her books．B．She heard the author shouting loud．C．She got the news that her grandma was ill．D．She saw the author's shoes beneath her bed．7．The author tidied up the room most probably because_____．A．she was scared by Kate’s angerB．she hated herself for being so messyC．she wanted to show her careD．she was asked by Kate to do so8．How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A．By analyzing causes．B．By showing differences．C．By describing a process．D．By following time order．9．What might be the best title for the story?A．My Friend Kate B. Hard Work Pays OffC. How to be OrganizedD. Learning to be RoommatesCHere is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries．In Brazil(巴西）Brazilians are warm and friendly．They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder．People often greet each other (particularly women)with light cheek kisses . Schedules tend to be flexible，with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned．But to be safe，be on time．Meals can stretch for hours--there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil．Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon．Brazilians are social，preferring face-to-face communication over emails or phone calls．In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small，polite bow．Business cards should be offered and received with two hands．Arriving late is considered disrespectful．So be on time．Efficiency(效率)is the goal，so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced．Singaporeans are direct in their discussions，even when the subject is about money．Rank is important and authority is respected．This determines how people interact in meetings．For example，people avoid disagreeing outright with someone of a higher rank．In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE，status（地位）is important，so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles．The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere．So do not pull away from the handshake．Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress．Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部)and down to the knees．People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants．Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided．When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee，you should refuse．It might seem odd，but it is a cultural tradition．Coffee should only be accepted if it is already set out or presented．In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name．They also are respectful of private lives．You should be careful not to ask about personal topics．Punctuality(守时)is vital，something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time．Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe．They also have clear structure in their companies．Higher-ups make the final decisions，even if others might disagree．Neat，clean dress is expected．The Swiss follow formal table manners．They also keep their hands visibleat the table and their elbows off the table．It is polite to finish the food on your plate．10．The passage is mainly about_______．A．communication types B．the workplace atmosphereC．customs and social manners D．1iving conditions and standards11．Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A．They put efficiency in the first place．B. They dislike face-to-face communication．C．They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible．D．They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank．DBy knowing what kind of learner you are，you can organize your study to best suit your particular way of learning．Visual learning styleThese learners like to draw，build，design and make things．They like looking at pictures and enjoy jigsaw puzzles and mazes．They tend to think in pictures rather than words．Verbal learning styleThese learners are very good at listening and are often very good speakers and story tellers．They think in words rather than pictures．They like to read and write，and usually have good memories for such things as names，dates and places．Logical learning styleThese learners are very logical.

B．How to Learn BestC．Choose Your Style D．Learning StylesEPerhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money．Strange as it may seem，if you’re unsatisfied，the issue(问题) is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires--not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don’t have enough tastes．Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities(能力)to enjoy life．Most people are already swamped(淹没)with things．They eat，wear，go and talk too much．They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a deserted hut(茅屋).Your house of life ought to be a mansion(豪宅)，a royal palace. Every new taste，every additional interest，every fresh enthusiasm(热情) adds a room．Here are several rooms your house of life should have．Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things．If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them，they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you’re hungry．Literature，classic literature，is a beautiful，richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment．To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person，for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library．Music like Mozart’s and Bach’s shouldn’t be absent．Real riches are of the spirit．And when you’ve brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk．you have increased your thrills and bettered them．And life is a matter of thrills．Sports，without which you remain poor，mean a lot in life．No matter who you are，you would be more human，and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days，if you could，and did，play a bit．Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life，the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding．18．The author intends to tell us that ________．A．true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair meansB．big houses are people’s most valued possessionsC．big houses can in a sense bring richness of lifeD．true happiness comes from spiritual riches第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）There is one thing that everyone wants more than anything else.___22.

甘肃省天水市甘谷县第一中学2015届高三上学期第一次检测考试英语试题Word版含答案

第一部分第一节阅读理解（共两节,6篇满分52分）ALike many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do．My degree，with honors in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical．I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow，but I had no idea how to do that．That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project．I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers．I knew it would be a lot of hard work，and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time．In short，I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly．Neither did my family．Eventually，however，I won the support of my family，and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application．After countless interviews and presentations，I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone．Several months later，I finally received a call asking me to report for duty．I would be going to a small village near Abuja，Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea．But I was about to find out．After completing my training，I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation．Though the local villagers were poor，they offered their homes，hearts，and food as if I were their own family．I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse．For the next year or so，I taught in that same schoolhouse．But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me．Sometime during that period，I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did，though I did not get anywhere with the local language，and I returned to the United States a different man．The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever．1．What do we know about the author?A．His dream at university was to become a volunteer．B．His university education focused on theoretical knowledge．C．He took pride in having contributed to the world．D．He felt honored to study English literature．2．According to Paragraph 2，it is most likely that the author______．A．discussed his decision with his familyB．asked previous volunteers about voluntary workC．attended special training to perform difficult tasksD．felt sad about having to leave his family and friends3．In his application for the volunteer job，the author_______．A．participated in many discussionsB．went through challenging survival testsC．wrote quite a few papers on voluntary workD．faced strong competition from other candidatesBI was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized．Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere．She even labeled(贴标签)everything．I always looked for everything．Over time，Kate got neater and I got messier．She would push my dirty clothing over，and I would lay my books on her tidy desk．So we both got tired of each other．War broke out one evening．Kate came into the room．Soon，I heard her screaming，“Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!”Deafened，I saw my shoes flying at me．I jumped to my feet and started yelling．She yelled back louder．The room was filled with anger．We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call．Kate answered it．From her end of the conversation，I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill．When she hung up，she quickly crawled(爬)under her covers，sobbing．Obviously，that was something she should not go through alone．All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart．Slowly，I collected the pencils，took back the books，made my bed，cleaned the socks and swept the floor，even on her side．I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up．She was watching，her tears dried and her expression was such disbelief．Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine．I looked up into her eyes．She smiled at me，“Thanks．”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year．We didn’t always agree，but we learned the key to living together：giving in, cleaning up and holding on．6．What made Kate so angry one evening?A．She couldn’t find her books．B．She heard the author shouting loud．C．She got the news that her grandma was ill．D．She saw the author's shoes beneath her bed．7．The author tidied up the room most probably because_____．A．she was scared by Kate’s angerB．she hated herself for being so messyC．she wanted to show her careD．she was asked by Kate to do so8．How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A．By analyzing causes．B．By showing differences．C．By describing a process．D．By following time order．9．What might be the best title for the story?A．My Friend Kate B. Hard Work Pays OffC. How to be OrganizedD. Learning to be RoommatesCHere is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries．In Brazil(巴西）Brazilians are warm and friendly．They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder．People often greet each other (particularly women)with light cheek kisses . Schedules tend to be flexible，with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned．But to be safe，be on time．Meals can stretch for hours--there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil．Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon．Brazilians are social，preferring face-to-face communication over emails or phone calls．In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small，polite bow．Business cards should be offered and received with two hands．Arriving late is considered disrespectful．So be on time．Efficiency(效率)is the goal，so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced．Singaporeans are direct in their discussions，even when the subject is about money．Rank is important and authority is respected．This determines how people interact in meetings．For example，people avoid disagreeing outright with someone of a higher rank．In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE，status（地位）is important，so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles．The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere．So do not pull away from the handshake．Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress．Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部)and down to the knees．People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants．Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided．When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee，you should refuse．It might seem odd，but it is a cultural tradition．Coffee should only be accepted if it is already set out or presented．In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name．They also arerespectful of private lives．You should be careful not to ask about personal topics．Punctuality(守时)is vital，something that comes from a deep respect for others’time．Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe．They also have clear structure in their companies．Higher-ups make the final decisions，even if others might disagree．Neat，clean dress is expected．The Swiss follow formal table manners．They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table．It is polite to finish the food on your plate．10．The passage is mainly about_______．A．communication types B．the workplace atmosphere C．customs and social manners D．1iving conditions and standards 11．Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A．They put efficiency in the first place．B. They dislike face-to-face communication．C．They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible．D．They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank．DBy knowing what kind of learner you are，you can organize your study to best suit your particular way of learning．Visual learning styleThese learners like to draw，build，design and make things．They like looking at pictures and enjoy jigsaw puzzles and mazes．They tend to think in pictures rather than words．Verbal learning styleThese learners are very good at listening and are often very good speakers and story tellers．They think in words rather than pictures．They like to read and write，and usually have good memories for such things as names，dates and places．Logical learning styleThese learners are very logical. They easily recognize numerical and word patterns and look for logical connections between ideas．They like to figure things out for themselves and love solving problems．They enjoy working with abstract(抽象) ideas．Bodily learning styleThese learners like to move around a lot and to touch objects and people．They often wave their hands around when they are talking．They are good at physical activities，such as sport and dancing，and they enjoy making things with their hands．Naturalistic learning styleThese learners love to be outside．They are interested in nature and are usually fond of animals．They are often involved with nature conservation groups．They are excellent at planning picnics and other outdoor activities．They like to understand how things in nature work．Music learning styleThese learners appreciate music．They are usually good at singing or playing musical instruments and can often compose(作) music．They are often very sensitive to noises around them and are sometimes easily distracted(分散注意力) by background noises．Interpersonal learning styleThese learners like to be surrounded by people．They usually have lots of friends and like to join groups and clubs．They ale often the leaders of any group they join and they are very good peace makers．Intrapersonal learning styleThese people are quite happy in their own company．They spend a lot of time thinking about things such as their dreams and hopes and their relationships with other people．They prefer to work alone and to follow their own interests．14．If a person usually puts things into categories and sorts when thinking，he is mostprobably________．A．a bodily learner B．a visual learnerC．a logical learner D．a verbal learner15．Naturalistic learners learn best_________．A．through music and rhythm(旋律）B．in a natural setting rather than a built environmentC．with pets around themD．in the condition that there is loud natural noise16．An intrapersonal learner may be different from an interpersonal learner in the waythat_________．A．he(she)is not good at communicating with othersB．his(her)individual ability is rather goodC．he(she)is slow in thinking out the answers to problemsD．his(her)relationship with others is always bad17．The best title for this passage would be____________．A．How Should You Learn? B．How to Learn BestC．Choose Your Style D．Learning StylesEPerhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money．Strange as it may seem，if you’re unsatisfied，the issue(问题) is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires--not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don’t have enough tastes．Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities(能力)to enjoy life．Most people are already swamped(淹没)with things．They eat，wear，go and talk too much．They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a deserted hut(茅屋).Your house of life ought to be a mansion(豪宅)，a royal palace. Every new taste，every additional interest，every fresh enthusiasm(热情) adds a room．Here are several rooms your house of life should have．Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things．If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them，they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you’re hungry．Literature，classic literature，is a beautiful，richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment．To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person，for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library．Music like Mozart’s and Bach’s shouldn’t be absent．Real riches are of the spirit．And when you’ve brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk．you have increased your thrills and bettered them．And life is a matter of thrills．Sports，without which you remain poor，mean a lot in life．No matter who you are，you would be more human，and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days，if you could，and did，play a bit．Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life，the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding．18．The author intends to tell us that ________．A．true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair meansB．big houses are people’s most valued possessionsC．big houses can in a sense bring richness of lifeD．true happiness comes from spiritual riches第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）There is one thing that everyone wants more than anything else.___22.
