AI arrived late one night on a business trip, so I decided to have dinner in the hotel I stayed in. As I was finishing my meal, an elderly couple came in. They were holding hands and had lovely smiles on their faces. They sat three tables from me. I was amazed at the love they showed for each other. It stuck me because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart.My waiter was also their waiter. As I paid my bill, I asked what their bill was. He told me, and I gave him $40 to pay their bill. He asked if I knew them and I told him “No, I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other,” and then I left.The next day I entered the restaurant again. After I had been seated, the waiter who served me the night before told me that the strangest thing happened after I left the restaurant. When the elderly couple went to pay for their meal, they were told that it had been paid. The waiter just told them what I said. They were amazed. They looked around, asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together, paid their bill and left.I smiled and ordered my meal. About 45 minutes later, I finished my meal and was about to head out, but my waiter was nowhere to be found. I explained to the hostess that I needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the airport. She smiled and explained that I would not have to pay, because she felt she should pay for my bill because of the joy brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the young couples.When I told her that they didn’t have to do that, she said with a smile “Love creates Love.”56.

The intelligent assistant that helps you get things done. All you have to do is ask.Now you can use your voice to use your iPhone 4S. Just talk to Siri as you would to a person: “Do I need an umbrella?” or“Where’s the closest A TM?” Siri not only understands what you say, it knows what you mean. It figures out the right apps to use to find the right answer. Then, just like a personal assistant, it answers you. Siri makes phone calls, sends messages, schedules meetings, sets reminders, and more. How much more? Just ask, and Siri tells you that, too.Dual-core A5 chip: the most powerful iPhone ever.Two cores in the A5 chip provide up to two times more power and up to seven times faster graphics. And you’ll feel the effects. iPhone 4S is quick and responsive, which makes all the difference when you’re launching apps, surfing the web, gaming, an doing just about everything.

In 2008, according to the US Transportation Department, it was just 30%. The number of those aged 19 and under with driving licences has also been declining since 1978, when 11, 989, 000 had licence. In 2010, it was 9, 932, 441, or 4.1% of American drivers.In the UK, 683, 273 teenagers have driving licences- just 1.85% of total licence holders, according to Department of Transport figures from September 2010.But the decline in the US may have more to do with tougher tests and the introduction of thenew rule in many states, which force drivers aged under 16 to be with licensed drivers of 21 years and older when driving.In recent years, the annual number of journeys being made by American drivers of all ages has declined clearly for the first time ever. Car use began falling in 2007, when average petrol prices almost doubled to $4.12 a gallon, and the economy became worse.But there are signs that it is getting back to normal and American remains a country on wheels. It has a higher number of cars per head of population than any other country in the world.“Cars will always be a popular means of transportation in America. You have to take into consideration some plac es don’t have access to public transportation. Cars are the only way some people can get around,” says Kristin Nevels. This makes driving necessary in some rural states, where about twice as many teenagers are on the road than in big cities.63. The underlined word “declining”in the second paragraph most probably means“__________”.A. risingB. droppingC. improvingD. holding64. In recent years cars are used less than before mainly because of __________.A. traffic jamsB. harder testsC. expensive petrolD. worst economy65. We can learn from the last paragraph that Kristin Nevels __________.A. doubts the popularity of the car use in the future.B. thinks American people can not live without cars.C. holds confident attitude to the cars’ future in America.D. believes America should build up its public transportation.66. What can be inferred from the text?A. The UK has more teenager drivers than the US.B. A 15-year-old boy cannot drive alone in the US.C. The US has very developed bus transportation system.D. Big cities have more teenager drivers than rural areas in the US.DJerry Morris died on 28 October 2009. He was 99 years old. You have probably never heard of him. He was a professor of public health. More than 50 years ago he produced one of the most famous epidemiological (流行病学) papers of the 20th century.His study showed that bus conductors were much less likely to die of heart disease than bus drivers. Why? Because the conductors spent their working day walking. It seems obvious now but in the middle of the last century doctors were puzzled by the rising numbers of people who got heart diseases. Jerry Morris found one of the main causes: a sedentary (久坐不动的) lifestyle. He started exercising for a few minutes each day and lived until his 100th year.If you wish to protect your heart, you have to do more than wander in the garden. The exercise needs to be reasonable. Jogging is not for everyone and a round trip to the gym takes a couple of hours, plus the monthly membership fee is only good value if you visit regularly. The answer is simple: walk. .A half-hour purposeful walk five times a week will lower your risk of heart disease, diabetesand strokes. Older people sometimes feel they have left it too late. But it is never too late to start and there are no upper age limits. Start gently. Take your time: a 15-minute flat walk in the nearest park, four or five times a week. Within a month or so, you are already beginning to protect your heart. Build the walks up. When you can comfortably walk for half an hour in the park, go further: try following rivers and canals.Regular walkers have their own natural gymnasium. There is no membership fee, just some of the finest scenery in the world. Great Britain is the walker’s gym. Wh en you have followed the rivers and canals, and are enjoying walking for a couple of hours, head for the coast. Once again, build it up slowly. When you are comfortable with long coastal walks, you can think of our national parks.67. Jerry Morris is mentioned in the first paragraph mainly to __________.A. make his epidemiological message known to the publicB. praise his research into ways of improving public healthC. introduce the topic of doing exercise and keeping healthyD. give an example of a person who lives a healthy and long life68. We can learn from the passage that __________.A. bus conductors are more likely to die of heart disease than bus drivers.B. doctors in the 1950s knew why heart diseases kept happening to people.C. walking is better than doing sports in a gym because it saves time and money.D. British people love walking because they have free gymnasium with finest scenery.69. What suggestion does the writer give about walking?A. Parks are the best place for walking.B. Starters should not push themselves too hard.C. A two-quarter walk a day is suitable for starters.D. People of old age might not be fit enough to start walking.70. What might be the best title for this passage?A. Long Life Comes from WalkingB. Walking Helps Cure Heart DiseaseC. A Walk a Day Keeps the Doctors awayD. An Hour’s Walk in Nature is Worth Two in the Gym第二节：根据短文内容，从A-F选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。

No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan. Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides.

He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.The swan pretended not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride!

中职英语高考复习模拟试题：阅读理解阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AIt was a comfortable sunny Sunday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadn't seen for years, and was really excited to hear all his news.My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem - I could text him to say I would be delayed. He would understand. But… where was my mobile phone? I had that familiar sinking feeling. Yes, I'd forgotten it at home.No mobile phone. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I don't have my phone with me. In fact, I know I'm not alone: two-thirds of us experience ‘nomophobia’, the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.That's according to a study from 2012 which surveyed 1,000 people in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones.It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, that women are more ‘nomophobic’than men, and that 18-24 year-olds are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.Do you have nomophobia ?· You never turn your phone off·You obsessively check for texts, missed calls and emails·You always take your phone to the bathroom with you· You never let the battery run outIt's funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businessperson carrying their large, plastic ‘bricks’. Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year said mobile phone subscriptions would outnumber people across the world by the end of 2014.And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it's time to ask who really is in charge? Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you?So, what happened with my university friend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: "You haven't changed at all – still always late!" And we had a great afternoon catching up, full of jokes and stories, with no interruptions and no nagging(唠叨的) desire to check my phone.Not having it with me felt strangely liberating. Maybe I'll leave it at home on purpose next time.56.What does the passage talk about ?A. The history of mobiles.B. The story of meeting an old university friend.C. The addiction of playing mobile phone.D. The terrible feeling of being without their mobiles.57.The underlined phrase “ on edge ” the third paragraph probably means_______.A. energetic .B. nervousC. crazyD. surprised58. Which word is used to describe old mobile phones according to the passage?A. digital phoneB. cell phoneC. bricksD. smart phone59.According to the passage, who is most likely to be addicted to mobiles ?A. a successful managerB. a 21-year-old girlC. a 21-year-old boyD. a lonely middle-aged person60.What’s the author’s attitude towards the using mobiles ?A. WorriedB. FavorableC. NeutralD. CriticalBItaly's highest court has upheld（支持）the prison sentence handed down to the former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi for tax fraud（税收欺诈）. However, because of his age, Mr Berlusconi is unlikely to go to jail and instead faces house arrest or community service. Alan Johnston reports from Rome. "For nearly 20 years, Silvio Berlusconi has been the single most influential figure in Italian politics, he has been Prime Minister three times and yet judges have now decided that he is guilty of tax fraud and should go to jail. It's the first time in all his many court cases that he has been definitively convicted（定罪）. There can be no appeal. Mr Berlusconi will surely see this as one of the darkest moments in his extraordinary political life."The United States says it's extremely disappointed by Russia's decision to agree to Edward Snowden temporary asylum（庇护）. Mr Snowden, a former U.S. intelligence analyst, has been charged by the U.S. with spying for leaking details of secret government surveillance（监视）programs. Mark Mardell reports from Washington. "The White House says granting Edward Snowden asylum undermines (暗中破坏) cooperation between the U.S. and Russia. And they insist he is not a whistle blower, not a dissident. He's been charged with criminal offenses. They openly admit that the relationship with Russia is already difficult with many points of conflict. Up until now, a most serious was over the approach to Syria which makes some very uncomfortable body language between President Obama and President Putin at the recent G8 meeting. Now, the White House spokesman Jay Carney says they are considering pulling out of a planned summit between the two leaders."Share prices in the U.S. reached all time highs, the Dow Jones index set a new record while the wider index of the U.S. market the S&P 500 went over 1700 points for the first time. Here's Andrew Walker. "The share price gains partly reflect some upbeat(乐观的) news about the U.S economy, the survey of manufactures showed stronger activity last month. There has also been a decline in the number of people applying for unemployment benefits, but the exceptional policies of the Federal Reserve are also an important and persistent factor driving the stock market. The statement from the FED on Thursday has been interpreted that suggesting its efforts to stimulate stronger economic growth will not be cut back very soon.61.Which column do you probably see the passage ?A.EntertainmentB. NewsC. ScienceD. Advertisement62.From the first paragraph we know that ____________.A.Berlusconi is the former Italian president.B.Berlusconi is likely to go to jail.C.Berlusconi has been Prime Minister for three years.D. Berlusconi will surely experience the darkest moments .63.From the second paragraph we know_______.A. The White House think Edward Snowden is innocent.B. Edward Snowden escaped from Japan.C. Edward Snowden event may influence the relationship between Russia and America.D. The UN express its regret about Edward Snowden64.According to the third paragraph we know _______________.A. America wants to stimulate economic growth through share market.B.The higher share prices in the U.S suggests fewer unemployment.C.The Dow Jones share prices depend on world economic growthD. The share price gains mean the boom of the US economy.65．Which of the following is True.A．Berlusconi has been in jail.B. Berlusconi has a great influence on Italian politics.C. Russia and America agree with each other on Syria issue .D. The number of people applying for unemployment benefits is increasing in America.CA new study suggests that middle-class teenagers are less intelligent than a generation ago due to the dumbing down (简化)of youth culture and school tests.IQ tests show that scores for the average 14-year-old have dropped by more than two points between 1984 and 2012. For those in the upper half of the intelligence scale--a group typically dominated(支配) by the children of middle-class families--average IQ scores were six points down on 28 years ago. Their leisure time is increasingly taken up with playing computer games and watching TV instead of reading and holding conversations.Education experts said a growing tendency in schools to "teach to the test" was affecting youngsters' ability to think laterally.For the study, Professor James Flynn, of the University of Otago in New Zealand, analysed UK children's scores in IQ tests over time.He found a regular pattern that IQs increased among children aged between 5 and 10 over the 28-year-period, at the rate of up to half a point a year. He believes these gains are linked to changes to the home environment children experienced when they were young, with parents increasingly providing stimulating activities.But Professor Flynn also found that teenagers' scores had dipped slightly over the past generation. It is the first time IQ scores have fallen for any age group during the past century, his research suggests. "While we have enriched the cognitive(认知的)environment of children before their teenage years, the cognitive environment of the teenagers has not been enriched.""Other studies have shown how pervasive teenage youth culture is, and what we see is that the parents' influence on children’s IQ will slowly diminish with age." "What we know is that youth culture is more visually orientated around computer games than they are in terms of reading and holding conversations."He said previous studies have tended to show IQ increasing as teenagers move into adulthood, entering university or starting work. Previous studies have claimed that using text messages and email can temporarily reduce IQ by causing concentration to drop, while smoking marijuana(大麻) has also been linked with a decline in IQ.66.We can infer from the passage that _______________A. IQ tests scores for the average 14-year-old have dropped by more than two points in the past decade.B.Original youth culture and school tests are more beneficial to middle-class teenagers’ intelligent development.C. Now middle-class teenagers are more intelligent than a generation agoD. Now youth culture and school tests have a good influence on students67.Which of the following can cause a decline in IQ?A. readingB. holding conversationsC. starting workD. smoking marijuana68.According to Professor Flynn’s study one’s IQ scores can be increased at most _______ points .A. 2.5B. 5C.14D. 769.The underlined word in paragraph 6 means___________.A. reduceB.strengthenC.increaseD. disappear70.What’s the main idea of this passage ?A. Parents have an influence on children’s IQ.B. Using text messages can reduce IQ.C. It is about a new research on teenager’s IQ.D. The way of testing IQ scores has been found.DIt was vacationing on the Greek island of Corfu for about a month many years ago. I rented a motorcycle and headed into the interior of the island in search of isolated trails(踪迹）and sleepy villages. I rode for hours along dirt trails. I had to keep a close watch on the gas tank because there were no gas stations anywhere except at the village where I had rented the motorcycle. At half a tank, I had no choice but to turn back. The needle had just hit halfway and I was turning around to head back when I noticed an old tomb in the distance, far away from any village or other sign of habitation. I decided to stretch my legs before beginning the long trip home. I rode to the gate, killed the engine and laid the bike down. As I passed through iron gate, I couldn't help but notice how silent the place was. I had to whistle to reassure（消除疑虑）myself that I hadn't gone deaf. When I walked to the rear edge of an old tomb in the distance, an unusual sight caught my eye --- a tomb that was twice as large as any of the others. When I looked inside the cabinet, I found out why. There was a photograph of a young couple with their arms around each other, laughing. The date of their deaths in the stone, were identical. Apparently, they were married and had died together in some kind of an accident. I can't relate all the feelings I had while looking at that picture of them together, bursting with youthful energy, their eager smiles full of excitement and anticipation (希望)of their lives together. A white marble cross that marked their graves had been broken off at the base, and had fallen on the ground at the head of the tomb. Small, orange wildflowers were growing up around it. This might not have been so unusual except for the fact that they were the only flowers growing anywhere in the tomb. The contrast of these symbols of life and springtime next to a symbol of death was so striking, I decided to take a photograph of it. I took my camera out of my backpack and took the photo from the angle I wanted. Before I left, I picked up their cross and put it back in place on their tomb. The sun was setting quickly and I was worried about finding my way back in the dark, so I decided to head home.71. Why did the author have to turn back at half a tank?A. Because he had to return the motorcycle he had rented earlier.B. Because he was afraid of the gas being used up before returning the village .C. Because there were no gas stations all the way .D. Because he wanted to search for an old tomb in the distance. 72.The last sentence in paragraph2 shows that ___________.A. The author couldn’t hear any sound in such a quiet tomb.B. The author was so afraid that he whistled to encourage himself.C. The author was afraid that he was deaf.D. The author couldn’t hear anything any more.73. According to the passage, which one is the right description?A.The wildflowers growing in the tomb seems a symbol of the young couple’s love.B. All kinds of wildflowers were growing up anywhere in the tomb.C. The author’s motorcycle broke down after he left the tombD. There was a young couple in the tomb, laughing.74. We can infer the author is__________.A. frightenedB. cautiousC. courageousD. relieved75. In this passage, the author wants to tell us__________.A. how to explore an old tombB. his frightening life in an old tombC. his unusual experience during the vacationD. his motorcycle trip。

I shall always remember the time when we were making the film,” Pitt said after completing it fully.Pitt started his dream of art when he was in university. Though born in a common family in 1964, he showed his interest in film at an early age. After leaving high school, he went to university to study law.

But some people suffer from repeated, frequent headaches.What is headache? What causes it? What can be done about a headache? What research is being done on headaches?The dictionary defines(下定义) headache simply a s “a pain in the head.” What most people mean by headache is a pain which lasts several minutes or hours. It covers the whole head, or one side of it, or perhaps the front or the back of the head. To add to the confusion(困惑) about a definition, some people call tight feeling in the head a headache.A headache is important because it can be the first warning of a serious condition which probably could be controlled if discovered early. If a person removes the warning, day after day, with a pain-killer, he may pass the point of easy control.The professional name for covering up a symptom(症状) is “masking” (遮蔽). A headache specialist once said, “Masking symptoms is not the best way of treatment.” He compared taking a pain-killer for a headache before a cause is known with taking iron pills for anemia(贫血症) while bleeding continues undiscovered. He added, “Sometimes it is wiser to stand still than to advance in darkness.”A headache is important also because it affects normal, happy living. The employee with a headache does less work. In a flash of temper he may upset his fellow workers or customers, causing a direct or indirect loss to his organization. The mother with a headache suffers and disturbs the family. She upsets her husband and children.68. Which is true according to the passage?A. Headache has no effect on others.B. Headache may cover the whole body.C. Headache may last several minutes or hours.D.

ATaking exams in a large group setting can bestressful for students and for the staff memberswho are watching over them. When classrooms arecrowded and desks are close together, cheating mightbe tempting.One university in Thailand came up with an anti-cheating hat that makes it almost impossible for students to see other students’ papers.

They said that in a bid to prevent cheating they asked the students for ideas on how to prevent cheating in the upcoming exam, which was being taken by almost one hundred students. Students came up with different ideas, then the paper hat idea was selected by them as the most fit. The university claims that no-one was forced to use the hat, but they all chose to do so. “When wearin g the hat during the exam, students felt more relaxed,” Nattadon Rungruangkitkrai, a lecturer at the university said.“It was not meant to indicate that Kasetsart students often cheat on exams.

There is considerable evidence that inactivity is connected with increased risk for lung cancer, breast cancer, etc.In the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study, more than 32,000 people (25,000 men and 7,000 women) were given a preventive medical examination that included a machine exercise test to measure physical fitness. They were given a physical fitness score, with one being the lowest and five being the highest fitness level. Then these people were followed for an average of 8 years. During this time, 179 men and 44 women died of cancer.Data from the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study show people have lower rates of cancer with higher levels of physical fitness. Studies from the Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research in Dallas suggest that men with high fitness levels are less likely to die of cancer.The Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study also found that fitness level was more important than weight in predicting longevity (长寿). While results showed that fitness and normal weight are the ideal combination, researchers found that men who were fat but performed well in the machine performance had just a slightly increased all-cause death rate, including cancer, comparedto the more slim men. The fat, but fit, men particularly lived longer than the slim, but flabby (肌肉松弛的), men.These statistics called for a warning to the overweight: The first health goal for the overweight should be to become as fit as possible at their current weight.66. Which of the following is true?A. Exercise has nothing to do with cancer.B. Men with high fitness levels are more likely to die of cancer.C.

对口高考英语模拟题库：阅读理解阅读理解（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从16～35各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AWith more and more cars on the road, traffic jams are inevitable. Traffic jams can lead to increased accidents as there are more cars, with more people trying to get to their destination, all the while getting worse. Although it’s impossible to avoid traffic jams altogether, there are some tips you can follow to reduce the amount of time on the road.Check for traffic jams before you leave. You can listen to the radio for traffic news, or check on the Internet to get up-to-minute information on traffic. If the route you want to take is heavy with traffic, you can choose another.Look for a different route permanently. Most traffic jams occur on busy roads. Using country roads could see you avoiding a lot of traffic. Although the distance you may have to travel is further, it can work out quicker.Set your car radio to receive traffic bulletins. Many new car stereo systems (汽车音响系统) are equipped with a radio system by which you can hear the traffic channel. This way you can get the latest traffic information and change your journey if necessary.______________. Most traffic jams usually occur during rush hour, so try to avoid this time period if possible. Some jobs offer flexible working hours so that you can travel to work outside of rush hour. Some jobs even allow you to work at home so as to avoid commuting altogether. Ask your manager to see what you can do if traffic is a problem for you.Use public transport alternatives where available. The easiest way to avoid traffic jams is to take buses or the underground instead of driving your own car. Not only will you avoid traffic jams but you will most likely be saving money as the cost of motoring rises.36.The u nderlined word “inevitable” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.A．hard to accept B．impossible to avoidC．getting less serious D．seen everywhere37. The author wrote the text in order to ______.A. explain why there are traffic jamsB. tell us the negative effects of traffic jamsC．tell us what we can do on the roadD．tell us how to save time on the road38. To get the latest traffic information, you could do the following EXCEPT ______.A. surfing the Internet B．listening to the radio for traffic newsC．listening to the traffic channel D．turning to other drivers for information39. Which of the following can be put in the blank in the text?A. Choose a job that has flexible working hoursB. Try traveling at different timeC．Make friends with your managerD．Work from home40. According to the author, we should use public transport because_________A. it is cheaper and can avoid traffic jamsB. it is useful for usC. it is environmentallyD. it is completely free from traffic jams.BHave you ever been bitten? Of course you have. You are surrounded by living things which might, or do, bite. Even when you rest your head on your pillow, bedbugs are probably nibbling away(蚕食) at you. They live happily inside most pillows.Take a walk outside and you are a target for “man’s best friend. ” Hundreds of dog-bite victims visit US emergency rooms daily. Many bites are terrible. To avoid the dogs in your neighborhood, you might want to hike into the desert or the woods. There, you run the risk of bites from rattlesnakes, scorpions, and blood-sucking ticks. Not to mention bears, wolves, coyotes, and mountain lions.Speaking of housing, watch out when you touch the corner of your house or garage. Shy but deadly, the black widow spider and the brown recluse spider make themselves comfortable in quiet areas of your closets or garage. One bite from either of them can make you very sick; occasionally, people die from such bites. Unfortunately, many people fear all spiders, not just the few dangerous ones. They squash them or run from them at first sight, not realizing that most spiders are actually beneficial to man.If you’re concerned about bites, don’t forget about rabid(患有狂犬病的) animal bites. Any warm-blooded animal can get infected with rabies. Although humans in the US rarely get attacked by rabid animals, the disease is painful and dangerous. You will most likely die if you are not treated properly within 48 hours of being bitten.41. How does the author introduce the topic of this passage?A. By asking questions.B. By giving examples.C. By offering suggestions.D. By doing experiments.42.According to the 2nd passage, “man’s best friend” is _____________.A. BedbugsB. DogsC. CoyotesD. Scorpions43.When you at home, you will probably be bitten by __________.①rattle snakes ②bedbugs ③bears ④spiders ⑤rabid animalsA. ①④B. ②③C. ③⑤D. ②④44.What can we infer from the 3rd paragraph?A. All spiders are dangerous and one bite from each of them can be very serious. .B. The black widow spider is actually beneficial to humans.C. Spiders always make themselves comfortable in quiet place in your house.D. One should squash a spider at first sight to keep safety.45.In the author’s opinion, __________.A. No matter what kind of animal bites you, there is no danger at all.B. One should treat rabid animal bites properly within 2 days.C. Humans in the US can be bitten by rabid animals frequently.D. Hundreds of rabid animal-bite people visit emergency room daily in the US.CDo you know what Fear and Faith have in common? Fear believes in a negative future. Faith believes in a positive future. Both believe in something that has not yet happened. So I ask you, if neither the positive nor negative future has happened yet then why not choose to believe in the positive future?I believe during these challenging times we have a choice between two roads: the positive road and the negative road. And our bus can’t be on two roads at the same time. So we have to make a choice and this choice determines our belief about the future and the attitude and actions we bring to the present.I’m not saying we shouldn’t have any fear. There are times when fear is a gift. A healthy dose(剂量) of fear causes us to examine our situation and plan for the future. It moves us to smell the cheese and expect change. When used wisely it allows us to manage risk and make better decisions. Some fear is good.However, what I have observed lately is a supersized, huge dose of fear that is spreading the hearts and minds of far too many people. This oversized fear is causing leaders and their organizations to either act unreasonably or to not act at all. They are either hurrying in a million different directions because of fear. In both cases, fear is leading them to take the negative road to failure.The answer is the positive road paved with faith and a belief that your best days are not behind you but ahead of you. With this belief you make the right choices and actions today that will create your positive future tomorrow. You stay calm, focused and committed to your purpose. You look for ways to save money and cut costs without making unreasonable fear-based decisions that sacrifice your future success. You identify opportunities in the midst of the challenges and you focus on solutions instead of problems.Your faith and belief in a positive future leads to powerful actions today. The future has not happened yet and you have a say in what it looks like by the way you think and act. Fear or Faith. The choice is yours.46. According to the passage, we can know that ________.A. both Fear and Faith trust something in the futureB. Fear and Faith have nothing in commonC. neither negative nor positive future will happenD. people usually choose to believe in the positive future47. What does the writer mean by saying “our bus can’t be on two roads”?A. We usually choose the negative road.B. We should choose the positive road.C. Our belief about the future depends on our choice.D. We must choose either a positive or negative road.48. Which of the following about “Fear” is true?A. We should have fear because it is a gift.B. Fear can bring cheese and risk to people.C. Reasonable fear helps to plan for future.D. Leaders usually have oversized fear.49. If we have faith in future, we will ________.A. take powerful actions todayB. be committed to saving moneyC. stay away from any challengesD. have the best days ahead of us50. What does the writer intend to tell us in the passage?A. Fear is closely related to faith.B. We should have faith in a positive future.C. Life is full of fear and faith.D. Wrong decisions sacrifice our future success.DWestern artist R.V. (Ron) Jahns creates his unique western wildlife paintings by tapping into (利用) his vast experience of true life. He had rich western experiences out in the mountains in the great Northwest.Ron paints from the heart and his experience as a cowboy in the west. He has a particular passion (激情) for the mountains from Eastern Oregon to Alaska and draws from his many years of mountain adventures as inspiration for his western paintings.Born and raised on a farm, this cowboy artist is well knowledgeable with the subjects of his Western art.

AThe coat my son John and I spotted in a store was different from the others. It was thick soft and well preserved, with a black velvet collar, beautiful tailoring, and a Fifth Avenue label at an unbelievable price: MYM28 （171 yuan）.I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John's eyes gleamed（隐约闪光）. Dark, woolen topcoats were popular with teenage boys, but they could cost several hundred dollars.This coat was even better.John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. The fit was perfect.He wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a grin.“Did the kids like your coat?”I asked.“They loved it,”he said.Over the next few weeks, John changed.He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and overall much happier.“Good dinner, Mom,”he would say every evening. Without a word of objection（反对）he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said: “You're right. I guess I will.”When I mentioned this to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.John and I both know that clothes do not define a person, but there is something to be said for looking good. Sometimes, watching John leave for school, I've remembered what it felt like to be in the eighth grade — a time when it is as easy to try on different approaches to life as it is to try on a coat. The whole future is stretched out ahead, where all the doors are open.And if I were there right now, I would picture myself walking through those doors wearing my wonderful, magical coat.41.

But these three letters welcome you to one of the world's leading universities for social and political sciences.The London School of Economics and Political Science （LSE）offers more than just economics. You can study all sorts of things, from history to mathematics to psychology. The university was founded in 1895. It has always set very high standards for its students. Today, it accepts fewer students every year than any other British university. It's not surprising that 17 Nobel Prize winners and 34 world leaders went to LSE' including John F. Kennedy.Those who do get a place can enjoy teaching from LSE's top-class staff. Students have the chance to learn in the university's great facilities（设施）. The LSE has the world's largest social and political sciences library, its own theater, and many other lecture theaters.

Students can join up with the LSE student union to take part in sports, arts and drama clubs.They can also join up with other London universities.What's more, LSE is big on China.The university has a strong link with Peking University.A two-week LSE—PKU summer school takes place every year.

One day, I complained to my father about having to go milk those cows, saying it was tiring.He said, you know, boy, to work is a blessing.I looked at the men who'd worked harder. I had a feeling I had been told something really important, but it took many years before it sunk in.Back then, going to college was a rare privilege.My father told me if I'd picked something to study that I liked doing, I'd always look forward to my work. But he also added, even having a job you hate is better than not having a job at all.I wanted to be a farmer, but I joined a military program to help pay for college. And what started out as an obligation to the Army became a way of life that I stayed committed to for 37 years.In the late 1980s, during a visit to Bangladesh, I saw a woman with her baby on her back, breaking bricks with a hammer. I asked a local officer why they weren't using a machine to make the work easier. He told me a machine would put that lady out of work. And as bad as that woman's job was, it was enough to keep a small family alive. It reminded me of my father's words: to work is a blessing.After seeing a lot of people like that woman in Bangladesh, I've come to believe that people without jobs are not free.They're victims of crime, poor health, and depression. People who have jobs can have a home, send their kids to school, develop a sense of pride, contribute to the good of the community and even help others. When we can work, we are free. We are blessed.51. Which can be the best title of the text?A. To work is a blessingB. My chosen way of lifeC. Why should I workD. Inspiration from a woman52. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The writer's parents were rich farmers.B. The writer admired his father's job.C. The writer didn't enjoy his part-time job.D.

According to Paragraph 3, machines were not used because _______.A. machines were too expensiveB. people needed jobs to liveC. women could do the work betterD. machines were hard to operate55. What does the writer intend to say through the last paragraph?A. People without jobs could achieve more.B. Freedom is not always free for people.C. We should feel fortunate to have a job.D. Rich people should help those in need.DCanada's Alice Munro, called the “master of the contemporary short story”, won the 2013 Nobel Prize in literature, the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences announced Thursday. After that, the Nobel committee said on Twitter that it hadn't been able to contact Munro and left a phone message to tell her the good news.

She started writing stories in her teen years and studied journalism and English at the University of Western Ontario. She published in various magazines starting in the 1950s.In 1968, she published Dance o f the Happy Shades, a collection of short stories. In 1971 she published a collection of stories entitled Lives o f Girls and Women, which critics have described as a coming-of-age work.Munro gained world fame for writing about everyday people.“Here we have a world prize being won by someone who writes about housewives in Vancouver, booksellers in Victoria, bean farmers in Huron County and accountants and teachers and librarians—ordinary Canadian people, and she turns it into magic,”Gibson said.56.

It protects and cleans the ear. It traps dirt and other matter, and it keeps insects out. Doctors think earwax might also help protect against infections. And the waxy oil keeps ears from getting too dry.But you can have too much of a good thing. Some people's ears produce too much wax. Earwax normally falls out of the ear or gets washed away.But extra wax can harden and form a blockage that interferes with sound waves and reduces hearing. People can also cause a blockage when they try to clean out their ears, but only push the wax deeper inside.Experts at the National Institutes of Health, NIH, suggest some ways to treat extra earwax yourself. The wax can be softened with mineral oil, glycerin or ear drops. Hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide may also help.Another way to remove wax is known as irrigation. With the head upright, take hold of the outer part of the ear. Gently pull upward to straighten the ear canal. Use a syringe device（洗涤器）to gently direct water against the wall of the ear canal. Then turn the head to the side to let the water out.The experts at NIH say you may have to repeat this process a few times. Use water that is body temperature. If the water is cooler or warmer, it could make you feel dizzy. Never try irrigation if the eardrum is broken. It could lead to infection and other problems.61. Which of the following is NOT the function of earwax?A. Keeping insects out.B. Protecting against infection.C. Keeping ears dry.D. Trapping dirt and other matter.62. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means “_______”.A. Earwax has too many benefitsB. Too much earwax is producedC. Earwax can also bring problemsD. Earwax has more good than bad63. Hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide are probably _______.A. liquids used to help soften earwaxB. medicines taken to cure illnessesC. mineral oil to clean away earwaxD. chemicals to kill insects in ears64. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Why you need to remove earwax.B. Ways to get rid of earwax by yourself.C. What you should use in clearing earwax.D. Tools you might need to treat earwax.65. The above text is likely to be taken from _______.A. a medicine brochureB. a research journalC. a biology bookD. a health magazine41—45 ABDBC 46—50 CBACD 51—55 ACDBC 56—60 ACBDB61—65 CCABD。

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

ATraditional businessmen feel worried that growing e-commerce will reduce their share of the market.According to a survey, 90% of some people’s purc hases are made on the computer. As they find that by being able to go online and choose the things that they need , and have them delivered right to their doorsteps, they could no longer be bothered with driving, the crowds, the noise of that, and they usually get a better selection.Cornell University Marketing Professor, Edward McLaughlin says traditional stores can keep their customers by offering goods like clothing, which customers may want to see and try on before purchasing, as well as items that are difficult to ship. He says some traditional stores are also pleasing customers with services that set up or repair computers and other electronic equipment.Traditional stores also offer a social experience that some shoppers enjoy. There is still a lot of emotion in the buying decision that takes place. Oftentimes, you need that last sense of “this is exactly what I want” before you part with money. And you can’t always get that online. It’s a rather cold process.As more and more people have Internet access and smart-- phones, online commerce is likely to continue its growth here in the United States and in other countries.61. Traditional businessmen feel upset because ________.A. consumers can get a better selection by shopping onlineB. more and more people purchase things on the computerC. people like to have their goods delivered to their houseD. growing online sales will cut their share of the market62. According to Mclaughlin, some traditional stores are keeping customers by ________.A. providing customers with extra servicesB. inviting customers to try on clothingC. delivering goods to each doorstepD. repairing computers and electronics only63. From the 4th paragraph, we know that ________.A. online shoppers tend to be cold to each otherB. the process of shopping online is full of emotionC. some shoppers like the social climate in traditional storesD. making buying decisions in traditional shops is difficult64. What is the author's attitude towards the future online commerce? .A. DoubtfulB. OptimisticC. SympatheticD. ConcernedBYoung children are trusting of commercial advertisements in the media, and advertisers have sometimes been accused of taking advantage of this trusting outlook. The Independent Television Commission ，regulator of television advertising, has criticized advertisers for “misleadingness”，in an effort to control advertisers’ use of techniques that make it difficult for children to judge the true size, action ，performance, or construction of a toy.Fantasy is one of the common techniques in advertising that could mislead young audience. In children's advertising, advertisers are more likely to include fantasy than advertisements aimed at adults. In a content analysis of Canadian television, the author Stephen Kline observed that nearly all commercials for character toys featured fantasy play. Children have strong imaginations and the use of fantasy brings their ideas to life, but children may not be adept enough to realize that what they are viewing is unreal. Fantasy situations are frequently used to attract children's attention, particularly in food advertising. Advertisements for breakfast have been found to be especially fond of fantasy techniques. Generally, there is uncertainty as to whether very young children can distinguish between fantasy and reality in advertising.The use of pop stars such as singers and movie stars is common in advertising. The intention is for the positive qualities of the popular to be transferred to the advertised product and for the two to become linked in audience's mind. In children's advertising ，the pop stars are often vivid figures from popular cartoons. In recent years, the role of pop stars in advertising to children has often been combined with the concept of host selling. Host selling involves advertisements with regular programming in a way that makes it difficult to distinguish one from the other. Host selling occurs ，for example, when a children's show about a cartoon lion contains an advertisement in which the same lion promotes a breakfast. The psychologist Dale Kunkel shows that the practice of host selling has reduced children's ability to distinguish between advertising and the program material. Meanwhile，he also shows some other tricky advertisements.65. What can we learn about the fantasy technique from the passage?A. It is especially used in advertising toys.B. Children are likely to mistake it for reality.C. Young children are quite aware of its tricks.D. It makes it hard for children to judge how much a toy costs.66. The underlined word “adept” in the passage is closest in meaning to _____A. responsibleB. patientC. skillfulD. curious67. In an advertisement，a cartoon lion is used for _____A. the promotion of a productB. the lovely nature of a lionC. the fantasy of a lionD. the regular program68. What would the following paragraph most probably be about?A. Development in advertisingB. Misleading advertised toys.C. Children and advertisementD. Another ill technique for advertising.CAs the thrill of the London 2012 Olympic Games fade, the focus now is on the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil. Over the next two years it will also host the FIFA Confederation Cup in June 2013 and the FIFA World Cup in 2014. Brazil has taken steps to increase the economic profits by safeguarding the interests of broadcasters and funders.In 2009, the Brazil passed the Brazilian Olympic Act and the so-called World Cup Law in 2012, which are designed to fight ambush(隐性）marketing and digital piracy(盗版)，and regulate advertising in and around official sporting sites.The Brazilian World Cup Law goes much further in protecting the interests of right owners than Brazil’s pre-existing legislation(立法）in this area, the so-called Pele Law. For example, the World Cup Law bans anyone but the official broadcaster from using images of events. However, it does permit use for non-commercial purposes. It also requires that FIFA or its local broadcaster provide highlights up to two hours after each match. Other items allow protection of trademarks associated with the event and ban unauthorized association with the event’s marks.The Pele Law permits, as an information right, both access to sporting sites and the use of images(影像）for journalistic purposes. It is, however, unlikely that such an understanding will be gained in relation to the World Cup Law which governs access to and use of images specifically in relation to the FIFA World Cup 2014. Although the Brazilian Olympic Act regulates the IP(知识产权）relating to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, it remains silent on broadcasting rights.Whatever the benefits, it seems clear that IP rights in general, and broadcasting rights in particular, will continue to play a key role in bringing in funds. If past experience is anything to go by, Rio 2016 not only promises new sporting achievements, but also the breaking of new records in terms of profits produced from the sale of broadcasting and other media rights.69 .The 2016 Olympics ______A. promises to break many recordsB. will experience challenges in fundingC.promises to be the greatest in historyD. will bring great benefits to Brazil70.The World Cup Law and the Pele Law are different in that ______.A. the former is stricter than the latter in protecting IP rightsB. the World Cup Law allows the media more freedom to use the imagesC. the former applies to advertising while the latter marketingD. the Pele Law bans more unauthorized association with the event’s marks71. The writer introduces the World Cup Law ______.A. by comparisonB. in order of importanceC. by surveyD. in order of time72.The passage mainly talks about ______.A. the advances that Brazil has made in hosting sporting eventsB. the efforts that Brazil is making to protect the interests of IP right ownersC. the preparations that Brazil is making for the 2016 OlympicsD. the challenges that Brazil is facing in investment to fund the sporting eventsDThanks to the I nterwebs , we can click and click and have a good laugh!

AThere are quite a few advantages of wearing school uniforms. The idea may seem disagreeable at first, but considering all the positive effective coming from wearing uniforms you would be more likely to enjoy them.Teachers love school uniforms because it helps provide an orderly learning environment. Having students dressed in uniforms may teach them how to present themselves in a neat and professional manner.

The author’s attitude towards students’ wear ing school uniforms is ___________.A. negativeB. supportiveC. doubtfulD. unclearBOnce there was a man who liked to eat mangoes. One day he decided to get the sweetest mango from the very top of the tree. Mangoes which are exposed to the sun the most are the sweetest.So he climbed up to the top, where the branches were thin. He managed to pick up a few sweet reddish fruits, but, in an attempt to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the ground. Fortunately, hecaught the branch as he was falling and remained helplessly hanging on the tree. Then he started to call nearby villagers for help. They immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help him.Then after some time one calm and thoughtful person arrived —a well-known sage (a wise person) who lived in a simple hut nearby. People were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous in solving many people’s problems in the area and sometimes very complicated ones.He was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man.Everybody was surprised. The hanging mango lover started to shout, “What are you doing? Are you crazy? Do you want me to break my neck?” The sage was silent. Then he took another stone and threw i t at the man. The man was very angry, “If I could just come down, I would show you!”That’s what everybody wanted. Then he was coming down. But how? Now everybody was tense about what would happen next! Some wanted to blame the sage, but they didn’t. The sage picked another stone and threw it again at the man, even more forcefully. Now the man on the tree was even more angry and developed a great determination to come down and take revenge (复仇).He then used all his skill and strength and somehow reached the branches which were safe to start going down. And he made it! Everybody was amazed.However, the rescued man found the sage gone. He stood there, realizing that the man really saved him because he induced (引诱) him to try his best and save himself.“I should be thankful and not angry.”56.

By mistake, President Clinton’s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. Presid ent Kim Young Sam’s wife was named Sohm Myong Suk. Therefore, she should be addressed (称谓) as Mrs. Sohm.President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.In addition to Koreans some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents. They becom e puzzled about the student’s correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.Mexican naming customs are different as well. When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after t he word “de”, which means “of”. This affects how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father’s family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement.Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband’s last name. Remember that in many Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed (颠倒). Ask which name a person would prefer to use. If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly.61. The story of Bill Clinton is used to ______.A. improve US Korean relationsB. introduce the topic of the textC. describe his visit to KoreaD. tell us how to address a person62. The word “gears” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.A. action plansB. naming customsC. travel mapsD. thinking patterns63. When a woman marries in Korea, she _____.A. continues to use her family nameB. uses her husband’s given nameC. shares her husband’s family nameD. adds her husband’s given name to hers64. To address a married woman properly, you’d better ______ .A. use her middle nameB. use he r husband’s first nameC. ask her which name she likesD. change the order of her names65. What can NOT be inferred from the text?A. Wives do not keep their family names in Japan.B. Different countries have different naming customs in some way.C. Naming custom will not cause any puzzle among Asian countries.D. The naming custom in Korea is different from that of Japan.DI am a writer．I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language — the way it can bring an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth．Language is the tool of my trade．And I use them all — all the Englishes I grew up with．Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind o f English my mother speaks．Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English．But I feel embarrassed to say that．It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it weredamaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness．I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example．But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s understanding of the limited English speaker．I know this for a fact, because whe n I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my understanding of her．I was ashamed of her English．I believed that her English showed the quality of what she had to say．That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect．And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her．I started writing fiction in 1985．And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be he r translation of her Chinese, her internal(内在的) language, and for that I tried to keep the essence(精华), but neither an English nor a Chinese structure. I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts．66. By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that ______．A. she uses English in foreign tradeB. she is attracted by languagesC. she works as a translatorD. she is a writer by profession67.

On Thursday, the Office of National Statistics (ONS) blamed(责备) a lack of exercise and poor diet for a fifth of adult Britons beingobese(过度肥胖的). “Obesity is a major risky factor related to heart disease, diabetes and premature death(糖尿病和早亡),” said an ONS survey. “None of the 108 young men in the survey reported eat ing five portions of fruit or vegetables on average each day.”In Manchester, the head of the city’s public health programs said he did not believe that they were necessarily the fattest city, but that they did have problems and were aiming to address them. Social deprivation(贫困) was a major factor. “One of the myths is that the stressed-out(压力大的) rich businessman is the one who is overweight,” David Regan told Reuters. “In fact, it is the poor areas that have the most problems. We aim not to be the fattest but the fittest city but we have a long way to go.”The second in the survey is Stoke-on-Trent, followed by Liverpool, Swansea and Leicester. Glasgow is the sixth.5. Manchester took the place of ____________ and became Britain’s fattest city.A. LiverpoolB. LondonC. Stoke-on-TrentD. Glasgow6. Obesity may lead to the following EXCEPT _________.A. heart diseaseB. diabetesC. premature deathD. a lack of exercise7. David Regan is most probably ___________.A.the reporter from ReutersB.an official of ONSC.the head of Manchester’s public health programsD.a rich businessman who is overweight8.This article is most probably taken from _________.A. a newspaperB. a science bookC. a novelD. a biography (传记)CFAIREMONT HOTELFive Waiters and Ten Waitresses:Aged under 22.At least high school graduates.Good-looking men at least 1.72 metres tall and women at least 1.65.Those knowing foreign languages favoured.

Then former bodybuilder Arnold Schw arzenegger (阿诺德·施瓦辛格) entered the spotlight when he became governor of California, US, proving that muscle-men have brains too. People have tried to develop muscular bodies for centuries. But as a sport or form of exercise, bodybuilding is still quite young.Briton Eugen Sandow’s performance at the 1893 World Columbian Exposition in Chicago is widely seen as the world’s first bodybuilding shadow. Many of his poses(姿势) are still used in competitions today. In 1940, the Mr. American contest became the first world bodybuilding competition , and it was joined by the Mr. Universe contest in 1950 and the Mr. Olympia competition 15 years after that.Some ask whether bodybuilding is really a sport, since the competitions only require posing, not any real athletic effort. Diet, on the other hand, plays a much more important role in bodybuilding than in any other sport.“It’s hard to believe that all the athletes are close to starvation when they show off their muscles on stage,” said Cao Xinli, who won the women’s cha mpionship at the National Bodybuilding Competition last week in Baotou.A coach explained, “The strict controls on diet and the hard training often mean that bodybuilders are much weaker than they look.” But despite the dangers, young boys will still go to the gym in the hope of developing a better body.13. Why do teenage boys like bodybuilding now?A. Bodybuilding can help catch criminals.B.They think bodybuilding can build up a muscular body.C. They want to become a good athlete.D. They hope for success like their heroes.14.

对口高考英语复习模拟题库：阅读理解阅读（共20小题，每小题2.5分，满分50分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AWhat makes a good teacher? The most basic question in education has lately become a hot topic for academic researchers, who are trying to figure out a way to measure exactly who is effective, who is not, and the differences between the two.Now the New York City Department of Education and the United Federation of Teachers have participated in a $2.6 million two-year study supported by the Gates Foundation to try to find out just how teachers should be evaluated.The goal of the study is to make it clear how to measure teachers’ effectiveness beyond relying on student performance on standardized tests.The Gates Foundation, which has become one of the most influential forces in education reform of the nation, said it would spend half a billion dollars to study and improve teacher quality at schools throughout the country.Chancellor Joel I. Klein and, Michael Mulgrew, the new president of the teachers’ union, signed a letter together that would go out to union members, emphasizing that the operating principle is that “we all recognize that the work of teachers must be measured in ways that are fair and effective.”“Nationally, current measure s of teaching rarely take into account the full range of what teachers do, or what they teach in class, ” the men wrote in the letter. “This study, on the other hand, begins right in the classroom, and will explore a broad range of measures that might be taken to improve teaching.”The researchers will use students’ test scores, student s and teachers’ surveys, and video observations of teachers in the classroom.The letter also asks for volunteers, since the study is seeking 1,000 teachers from 100 different schools to participate, which means having their classrooms videotaped and their students’ test scores analyzed, as well as having themselves tested. The financial incentive for taking part in the study : a $1,500 stipend(津贴).51. About the study, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. The goal is to find out how teachers should be evaluated.B. The study will spend half a billion dollars.C. The study begins in the classroom.D. The teachers’ union is in the charge of Chancellor Joel 1. Klein and Michael Mulgrew.52. What does the un derlined word “incentive” in the last paragraph mean?A. AwardB. IncomeC. ProblemD. Salary53. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Best ways to evaluate teachers’ workB. A letter given to the teachersC. A study of h ow to evaluate teachers’ workD. A hot topic for academic researchers54. What measures will the researchers use to do the study?A. Take account of what teachers do or what they teach in class.B. Rely on student performances on standardized tests.C. Ask for opinion of the participants.D. Various approaches such as test scores, surveys and video observations.55. What do we learn about the Gates Foundation from the passage?A. It’s in charge of the teachers’ union in America.B. It has contributed to American education reform.C. It is trying to improve the teachers’ efficiency.D. It is the most influential force in American education reform..BThe psychological literature clearly shows there is a strong relationship between success and happiness. For example, people who have a comfortable income or high status in society are usually the happiest. But which one comes first, happiness or success?There’s almost an unwritten assumption that it is primarily success that lea ds to happiness. This is tacitly backed up by psychological research which tends to talk about how success affects happiness.Of course, it’s not an either/or situation. The two are probably interrelated in all sorts of complicated ways. But to only talk about how success leads to happiness is ignoring half the story. So says psychologist there is plenty of evidence that happiness can, in fact, lead to success (Lyubomirsky, King & Diener, 2005).The best evidence that happiness causes success comes from experimental studies. These usually work by inducing (引诱) participants into positive and negative moods and then comparing their behaviors.These studies have produced a lot of fascinating results, finding that people in a positive mood are more likely to:1.Talk to others.2.Be interested in leisure activities.3.Enjoy those social interactions and leisure activities more.4.Resolve conflicts effectively.5.Help others.6.Feel healthier.7.Be more creative.8.Perform complex takes better.9.Attribute success to their own skills.The strength of this evidence is that it is based on experimental studies with control groups which provide some of the most persuasive data in science. On the other hand, it’s important to note that positive e ffect isn’t the only factor that’s involved in su ccess—there are plenty others. Still, this is an impressive list.Making room for happiness.How we think about happiness and success has influenced on how we run our lives. If we think that success mainly leads to happiness then we are more motivated to focus on success to the exclusion (排斥) of happiness right now, assuming that happiness will naturally flow from success when we obtain.56. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The nine ways to success.B. Happiness can lead to success.C. Success can lead to happiness.D. Success and happiness.57. By saying “it’s not an either/or situation”, the author means______.A. happiness comes first to successB. success comes first to happinessC. it’s hard to say which one comes firstD. Success has much in common with happiness58. What does the underlined expression “in a positive mood” in the third paragraph mean?A. In high spirits.B. In low spirits.C. In trouble.D. In use.59. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Only the nine listed in the text play an important part in success.B. The way we consider happiness and success has nothing to do with our lifestyle.C. Happiness provides us with opportunities that lead us to success.D. Happiness follows success because successful people are usually the happiest.60. Which of the following is RIGHT according to the author?A. When we succeed, we will naturally achieve happiness.B. Don’t forget to be happy while fighting for success.C. To achieve success, we ought not to consider happiness before it.D. Forget about success, and let’s enjoy ourselves at the moment.CSHOULD parents ever hit their children?Research suggests many of us are likely to respond “no”, and public support for spanking(打屁股) has been falling over the years. But surveys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit to spanking their child at least once.I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect (失礼)，and my parents often turned to physical punishment. And, no, I don’t feel I was damaged by it.Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children.But there are data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn’t the answer.Two years ago, Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive.Murray Straus, professor at the University of New Hampshire in America, has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades. He said that children who are physically punished have lower IQs than their peers. It may be that children with low IQs were more likely to get spanked, but the punishment may have been counterproductive(反作用) to their mental development, as well.Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-hand-edsmacks (用巴掌打) on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefits.Last year, Marjorie Gunnoe, a psychologist at Calvin College, studied teens who have never been spanked. There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been ph ysically punished. Gunnoe’s research suggests they don’t turn out any better than those who were sometimes spanked.There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers. But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline without ever turning to physical punishment.61. What can we know from the research in the second paragraph?A. Many of the parents made no response to the survey.B. More and more people support spanking in public.C. Most parents have the experience of spanking their children.D. Many of the parents think they should hit their children.62. According to Marjorie Gunnoe’s research,___________.A. the children who have never been spanked do better than those who were sometimesspankedB. instead of harmlessness, spanking can have a little benefitC. spanking has little effect on the children’s future performanceD. the teens who were often spanked are more likely to be aggressive63. In the author’s opinion, the best parents are the ones________.A. who often use physical punishmentB. who never use physical punishmentC. who use physical punishment properlyD. who take physical punishment as a useful tool64. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. The author’s parents were strict with him when he was young.B. The author thinks his parents’ spanking did no harm to him.C. Murray Straus thinks spanking has nothing to do with children’s IQs.D. Some parents spank their children because they can’t control their tempers.65. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Spanking does Harm to the Children.B. The Advantages of Spanking.C. The Relationship between Spanking and IQs.D. To Spank or Not to Spank?DI’ve been home from Hawaii less than a week, and I’ve almost adjusted to being back atwork (the 30 degree temperatures are a different story). I came back from my trip with a ton of energy, a great fun and so many wonderful memories. I also came back with some unexpected realizations about my business and my role as chief executive(首席执行官).Here’s what I’ve decided:First and foremost, I’m still too caught up in the details. When I glanced at my e-mail each day I was away, I noticed so many messages，customer requests, etc. that I would have addressed immediately if I had been at the office. By putting myself in a position where I “couldn’t” respond to these e-mails, I realized that the majority of them didn’t require my respons e.I was worried that our new operations manager Amaya might get stuck in things withoutme there, but it turned out that she was just fine. When she had questions about the storage history of a customer, for example, she turned to the team and got her answers. It gave me new appreciation for my employees and their ability to help each other.I often get involved with the engineers on decisions related to our data centers. While Iwas gone, they had to make important decisions on a number of data center projects. They analyzed the options, and determined the proper course of action. I now realize that I don’tneed to be as involved in the details of this aspect of the business.Finally, I learned that having an auto—response message on my e-mail is the BEST.People immediately knew my status and were given contact information for other people who could help them. I saw all of my e-mails but didn’t need to answer them. Somehow, everything just got done.So what does this mean for me？Well, that’s a big, important question that involves myever evolving role here. I thought I was doing a pretty good job pulling out myself from the details, but now I realize I can step back even more, so long a s I’m keeping an eye through ongoing team and individual checkpoints. It’ll require some restriction on my part, but it’llgive me more time to work on other projects, like some marketing ideas I’ve been toying with.I may even plan a few more vacations!66. The underlined words “them” refers to ________.A. the e-mailsB. the detailsC. junk messagesD. customer requests67. Which of the following is RIGHT about Amaya according to the passage?A. She appreciates the author very much.B. She is not familiar with her work very much.C. She is an operations manager, helping other employees.D. She’s a person solving problem about the storage history of a customer.68. From the fifth paragraph we can infer that the author will_____ in the future.A. make important decisions on a number of data center projects personallyB. often get involved with the engineers on decisions related to our data centersC. not deal with decisions related to the data centers directlyD. analyze the options, and determine the proper course of action69. The author thinks the best way of dealing with his e-mail is_____.A. seeing some of his e-mailsB. contacting them immediatelyC. telling them status slowlyD. designing system auto reply70. The last paragraph tells us the author________.A. has been toying with marketing ideasB. can’t pull out himself from the details completelyC. has to plan a few more vacations for his employeesD. never kept an eye through ongoing team and individual checkpoints before51 - 55 BACDB 56 - 60 BCACB61 - 65 CCBCD 66 - 70 ABCDB。

AA man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a piece of advice, “I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage,” she offered. “Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together.”The husband agreed. So each of them tried to think of the things that annoyed them about the other and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.“I’ll start,” offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband’s eyes because he never thought that he had so many shortcomings.The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. “Now, you read your list and then we’ll talk about the things on both of our lists,” she said happily.Quietly the husband stated, “I don’t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect. I don’t want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn’t want to try and change anything about you.” The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don’t rea lly have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us and see the wonderful things before us?56.

Because he didn’t think he deserved to have such a perfect wife.57.

The story is intended to tell us that .A. disappointment cannot be avoided in our lifeB. young couples should be more tolerant (宽容的) to each otherC. we should turn a blind eye to other people’s blameD. we should try to look for and see the wonderful things around usBTop Kid-Friendly Summer VacationsDude RanchIf you have little cowboys and cowgirls at home, thrill them by visiting a dude ranch (度假牧场) on your next vacation.

After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn't bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that use d to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m awfully sorry，”I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn't stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of busespass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.62. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought ________．A．she might be recognized B．asking for help looked sillyC．she was normal and independent D．being found blind was embarrassing 63. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she ________．A．began to run B．hit a person as usualC．hit a lamppost by accident D．was caught by something64. At the request stop that evening, the girl ________．A．stopped a big lorry B．stopped the wrong bus[来源:学+科+网]C．made no attempt to stop the bus D．was not noticed b y other people65. What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?A ．Other vehicles also stopped there.B．It was unreliable for making judgments.C．More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D．It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.66. Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping ________．A．to find people there B．to find more buses thereC．to find the bus by herself there D．to find people more helpful thereDParagraph 1Scientists have learned a lot about the kinds of food people need. They say that there are several kinds of food that people should eat every day. They are: (1) green and yellow vegetables of all kinds. (2) citrus(柑桔) fruits and tomatoes; (3) potatoes and other fruits and vegetables; (4) meat of all kinds, fish and eggs; (5) milk and foods made from milk; (6) bread or cereal(谷类), rice is also in this kind of food; (7) butter, or something like butter.Paragraph 2People in different countries and different places of the world eat different kinds of things. Foods are cooked and eaten in many different kinds of ways. People in different countries eat at different times of the day. In some places people eat once or twice a day; in other countries people eat three or four times a day. Scientists say that none of the differences is really important. It doesn’t matter whether foods are eaten raw(生的) or cooked, canned or frozen. It doesn’t matter if a person eats dinner at 4o’clock in the afternoon or at eleven o’clock at night. The important thing is what you eat every day.Paragraph 3There are two problems, then, in feeding the large number of people on earth. The first is to find some ways to feed the world’s population so that no one is hungry.The second is to make sure that people everywhere have the right kinds of food to make them grow to be strong and healthy.67. According to the scientists, which of the following groups of food is the healthiest for your lunch?A. chicken, apples, cereal, cabbagesB. potatoes, carrots, rice, breadC. oranges, bananas, fish, tomatoesD. beef, pork, fish, milk68.

The country's army troops were on standby to assist victims and disaster recovery operation. New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key, flew to the affected area to inspect and assess the situation of the damaged city. The Prime Minister said that the full assessment of the damages would possibly take months to know the severity of damages. Based from his assessment on what he saw in the area, it could cost at least 2 billion New Zealand dollars or US$1.4 billion for reconstruction.“An absolute miracle that no one died，”Prime Minister John Key said. Two were seriously injured from this quake and thousands of local residents were awakened after being shaken at 4：35 a.m. of that Saturday.There were people trapped inside the damaged buildings but fortunately nonewere reported dead from the rubble of the damaged buildings.“We're all feeling scared—we've just had some significant aftershocks，” a survivor told TV One News. “Tonight we're just people in the face of a massive natural disaster, trying to help each other and we're grateful we haven't lost a life.”GNS Science reported 29 aftershocks within the 14 hours after the quake, with strength from magnitude 3.7 to 5.4.New_Zealand_is_no_stranger_to_earthquakes.

对口高考英语模拟试题：阅读理解阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AEvery day, it is easy to see advertisements in English all around us. Look at your own bags and clothes, and the bags and clothes of your classmates. How many different advertisements can you see which use English words? Often, bags and clothes show the name of company that made them. This is a popular form. A special picture or symbol called a logo is sometimes used. Logos appear on many different products. They are popular because when you see a logo, it is hard to forget that product or company. it is common to see advertisements on TV and hear them on the radio. Most advertisements are very short. Sometimes the advertisers use a short sentence which is easy for people to say and remember. Nike, for example, has a simple English sentence which is used all around the world: “Just do it.” Advertisements often use funny situations as well. It is simple to remember it. All advertisements are designed to make people buy a product. An advertisement for a soft drink, for example, might show a group of young people who are having fun. The young people are all drinking the soft drink. Advertisements are saying to you, “Why don’t you buy this drink and be like these people? You can be young and modern.” You might think that advertisements are not after you, but the next time you buy a soft drink, ask yourself this question: Why am I buying this particular product?36. From the passage, we know that _______.A. all advertisements around us are written in EnglishB. many bags have the name of the company that made themC. having soft drinks makes a person young and modernD. advertisements are only after young people37. A good logo is _______.A. easy to rememberB. a useful productC. difficult to understandD. easy to buy38. People are most likely to remember an advertisement that is . .A. in EnglishB. longC. funnyD. famous39. All advertisements are designed to _______ ..A. sell yo u something you don’t wantB. make you young and modernC. make you buy the productD. show you what you need to buy40.The best title of this passage is .A. advertisements all around us.B. all kinds of advertisementsC.make people buy a productD. Advertisements often use funny situationsBWhen asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many people put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don't want -- an end to the relationship.The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don't let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you're wrong -- even if you've been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend's point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.41. What would be the best title for the text?A. Easy Ways to Make FriendsB. Ups and Downs in FriendshipC. How to Mend a Troubled FriendshipD. How to Take the Lead in Making Friends42. The "wronged person" underlined in the text refers to a personA. who has been mistaken for anotherB. who has been blamed unfairlyC. who has treated friends badlyD. who has admitted his mistakes43. According to the text a friendship can last long only if ________.A. we have much in commonB. we know our friends’ mistakesC. we treat our disagreements wiselyD. we have known one another for long44. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage?A. Many people think friends are more important than homes and jobs.B. Good friends are more likely to have disagreements.C. It is worthwhile to cherish and strengthen true friendship.D. Good friends shouldn't have any disagreements, otherwise their friendship will end in failure.45. What should we do if we follow the author's second suggestion?A. Stick to our own points of view.B. Avoid making mistakes.C. Make an apology first.D. Change our lifestyles.CSoon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.The eye-recognition program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.However, scientists are also working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, and don’t get dirty like hands or fingers, and even twins have different eyes. So the eye-recognition program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good thetechnology is. However, some other programs may only be 51% correct for the time being. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they like the idea of eye-recognition.In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye. So smile!46.The program has been tested in shops and banks of the following countries EXCEPT __________.A. TurkeyB. AmericaC. FranceD. Britain47. When you are using the eye-recognition program, you _____________.A. look at the machine and type a numberB. look at the machineC. let the machine look at your faceD. need to speak and then look48. What does the underlined phrase “for the time being” in Para. 4 mean?A. sometimesB. alwaysC. neverD. at present49. How many systems are being worked on according to the text?A. 4B. 2C. 6D. 850. The problem with the program is that ___________.A. it is not always correctB. eyes don’t changeC. Twins’ eyes are the sameD. eyes can get dirty like handsDThere are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art, Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art(美术馆); Paris has the Louvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University(FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don't have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone.You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your owncomputer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically (采用电子手段) by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.、Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works.A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs(软盘), to others to see on their computers. He could also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needed an expensive laser(激光) printer.Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.51. The main purpose of this text is to give information about ______.A. famous museums throughout the world.B. a computer art museum in Miami, U.S.A.C. art exhibitions in Florida Intentional UniversityD. latest development in computer art52. To see the art in FIU museum, your special needs include ______.A. floppy discsB. a computer and a printerC. pictures and drawings on paperD. a computer connected to the museum by telephone line53. What are stored in this museum?A. Paintings drawn by means of computer.B. Different styles of paintings.C. Drawings done by art students of FIU.D. Old paintings.54. The museum was started when ______.A. Robert Shostak wanted to do something for computer scientistsB. Robert Shostak wanted to help computer artistsC. art students needed a place to show their worksD. computer scientists wanted to do something about art55. The words "an audience" in the last paragraph here refer to ______.A. art studentsB. owners of computersC. exhibits in the museumD. those who can enjoy art阅读理解36-40 BACCA 41-45 CBCDC 46-50.CBDAA 51-55.BDABD。

中职英语对口升学一轮复习：阅读理解阅读理解(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

ASome people can stay up all night and still get work done the next day.I'm not one of them.After a night without enough sleep, I feel bad tempered.I have trouble remembering things.And all I want to do is to crawl into bed and sleep.How do you feel after you've stayed up late to finish schoolwork? Or the day after an overnight party? Scientists now say that your answers to these questions may depend on your genes.New research suggests that a gene called “period 3” affects how well you function without sleep.The “period 3” gene comes in two forms：short and long.Everyone has two copies of the gene.So, you may have two longs, two shorts, or one of each.Your particular combination depends on what your parents passed on to you.Scientists from the University of Surrey in England studied 24 people who had either two short or two long copies of “period 3”．Study participants had to stay awake 40 hours straight.Then，they took tests that measured how quickly they pushed a button when numbers flashed on screen and how well they could remember lists of numbers.Results showed that the people with the short form of “period 3” performed much better on these tests than the people with the long form did.In both groups，people performed worst in the early morning.After the first round of experiments，participants were finally allowed to sleep.People in the group that performed well on the tests (those with the short form of “period 3”) took about 18 minutes to nod off.People with the long “period 3” gene, by contrast, fell asleep in just 8 minutes.They also spent more time on deep sleep.That suggests that people with the long form of the gene need more and deeper sleep to keep their brains working in top form.I think I must have the long form of“period 3”．What about you?56．The purpose of this passage might be________.A．to tell us the importance of plenty of sleepB．to tell the result of a research on sleepy geneC．to inform the harm of lacking sleepD．to announce the sleeping rules of humans答案B[主旨大意题。
