2014年辽宁高考英语试卷（纯Word版）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑)。
Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度)。
but the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers’ report said, “While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.”In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.21. More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can ___________________ .A. write more notesB. digest concepts betterC. get higher scoresD. understand lectures better22. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be ______________.A. skillfulB. mindlessC. thoughtfulD. tireless23. The author of the passage aims to _____________________.A. examine the importance of long-term memoryB. stress the benefit of taking notes by handC. explain the process of taking notesD. promote the use of laptops24. The passage is likely to appear in ___________________.A. a newspaper advertisementB. a computer textbookC. a science magazineD. a finance reportB（Q = Question; A = Answer）Situation IQ: If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move?A: Maybe, but nobody will fault you for it. Chances are that the close sitter doesn’t realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren’t the first person he’s met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.Situation IIQ: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time thing or an emergency? If so, you don’t have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this palce, then you are a customer, and you should act like one.Situation IIIQ: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?A: No. try other means: 1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down. 2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作) and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.Situation IVQ: If I remember my friend’s birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. “Happy belated birthday!” is short for: “Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday.”Situation VQ: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复) to it?A: Don’t lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it. Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve? “Yes,” you can say if ever asked, “ I saw it” No explanation is needed as to why you don’t respond.25. You will get annoyed in a theater when ____________________.A. a person is too activeB. a person is too rude to youC. a person talks too loudlyD. a person sits too close to you26. How will you quiet someone down in a public place?A. By making fun of him continuously.B. By looking purposefully at him.C. By talking to him directly.D. By pointing angrily at him27. The underlined word “belated” in Situation IV probably means ________________ .A. predictedB. returnedC. cancelledD. delayed28. What is the passage mainly about?A. Modern ways to mind your manners.B. Different ways to change other s’ mannersC. Proper manners to offer help to others.D. Good manners to talk to people.CWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.Nitrogen(氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi(真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. this hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons(神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“We didn’t take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.”If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a hue difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.29. The underlined sentence “the opposite is true” in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees __________ .A. compete for survivalB. protect their own wealthC. depend on each otherD. provide support for dying trees30. “Mother trees” are extremely important because they __________________ .A. look the largest in size in the forestB. pass on nutrition to young treesC. seem more likely to be cut down by humansD. know more about the complex “tree societies”31. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to __________________ .A. how “tree societies” workB. how trees grow oldC. how forestry industry developsD. how young trees survive32. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC. Trees Are More Awesome Than You ThinkD. Trees Contribute To Our SocietyDTravis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees(雇员) and profits(利润) of over $2 million per year. He’s never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. “Your working uniform is your shelter,” he told her. “Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be.”Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee’s occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions(情绪)。

over $2 million per year．He's never late to work．He does not get upset on the job．When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her，Travis took her away．"Your working uniform is your shelter，"he told her．"Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you．You will always be as strong as you want to be．"Travis picked up that lecture in one of his GG training courses，an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation．The training has，Travis says，changed his life．GG has taught him how to live，how to focus，how to get to work on time，and how to master his emotions （情绪）．Most importantly，it taught him willpower．At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all﹣important habit；willpower．Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success．And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit．"Sometimes it looks like people with great self﹣control aren't working hard﹣but that's because they've made it automatic，"Angela Duckworth，one of the University of Pennsylvaniaresearchers said．"Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it．" The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self﹣control．Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers'lives．Those courses arc，in part，why GG has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than 10 billion a year．33．We loam from Paragraph 2that employees in GG must ．A．learn to give lecturesB．attend education programsC．design a working uniformD．develop a common hobby34．Willpower will become a habit when employees can ．A．focus on the profitsB．benefit from the jobC．protect themselves wellD．control their feeling well35．What can we infer from the passage？A．GG has grown into a large company．B．GG will spend half its profits training employees．C．GG may become more successful in the future．D．GG has to produce more workbooks for managers．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．选项中有两项为多余选项．36．（10分）Eyesight plays a very

daily life to ensure healthy eyes．Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：•Schedule yearly exams．（36）Experts advise parents to bring babies 6to 12months of age to the doctor for a careful check．The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment，including eyeglasses．•Protect against UV rays （紫外线）．Long﹣term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes．No matter what the season is，it's extremely important to wear sunglasses．（37）Give your eyes a break．Two﹣thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products．（38）Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20rule：every 20minutes，take a 20﹣second break and look at something 20feet away．•（39）As part of a healthy diet，eat more fruits and vegetables each day．Vitamins （维生素） C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health．•Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses （隐形眼镜）．Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their

a store，do I need to buy something？A：Consider frequency and urgency．Is this a one﹣time or an emergency？If so，you don't have to buy anything，but it would be kind if you did．However，if you regularly use the bathroom at this place，then you are a customer，and you should act like one．Situation IIIQ：If someone is talking loudly on the bus，is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down？A：No．Try other

communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation？UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined．Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest，Simard shows just how wrong he was．In fact，the opposite is true：trees survive through their co﹣operation and support，passing around necessary nutrition"depending on who needs it"．Nitrogen （氮） and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi （真菌）networks，making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy．This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons （神经元） in our brains，and when one tree is destroyed，it affects all．Simard talks about"mother trees"，usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend．She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation，transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow．When humans cut down"mother trees"with no awareness of these。

I grew up in a small town until I was 18 and then moved to a big city, so I have experienced the good and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I was wrong. After ten years of living in one, I can’t imagine ever living in a small town again. Surely small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transport. In a small town, you have to own a car to make life comfortable. You can’t get around without one because there isn’t any kind of public transport. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transport, which is cheaper than driving. So, if you don’t have a car, you’d better live in the city. I also love the exciting life in big cities. I can always enjoy a lot of films, concerts, and other wonderful shows. However, these things are not common in small towns. The final thing I like about large cities is that you can meet different kinds of people. However, you seldom find such a variety of people in a smaller town. I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become dull. Of course, safety should be considered, and that’s one area where small towns are better than big cities. Still, I would rather be a bit more careful and live in a large city than to feel safe but dull.18.【答案】C【解析】原文：M: Well, I’d love to share with you my personal opinions on city life and life in small towns.

Chances are that the close sitter doesn’t realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren’t the first person he’s met who nee ds enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.Situation 2Q:If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?A: Consider frequently and urgency. Is this a one-time thing or an emergency? If so, you don’t have to bu y anything, but it would be kind if you did.

You will get annoyed in a theater when___.A a person is too activeB a person is too rude to youC a person talks too loudlyD a person sits too close to you26. How will you quiet someone down in a public place?A. By making fun of him continuouslyB By looking purposefully at himC By talking to him directlyD By pointing angrily at him27.

Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.Nitrogen and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi networks, making sure that all tress in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young tress so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” of the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“ We didn’t take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly. “ Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.29. The underlined sentence “ the opposite is true” in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees___.A compete for survivalB protect their own wealthC depend on each otherD provide support for dying tress30. “Mother trees” are extremely important because the y ___.A look the largest in size in the forestB pass on nutrition to young treesC seem more likely to be cut down by humansD know more about the complex “tree societies”31. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ___.A how “tree societies ” workB how trees grow oldC how forestry industry developsD how young trees survive32. What would be the best title for the passage?A Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC Trees Are More Awesome That You ThinkD Trees Contribute To Our SocietyDTravis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees and profits of over $2 million per year. He’s never late to work. He does not get upset on thejob. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travistook her away. “Your working uniform is your shelter,” he told her, “ Nothing anyonesays will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be.”Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continue throughout an employee’s occupation.The training has Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live. how tofocus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions. Most importantly, ittaught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for aperson’s success.And the best w ay to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. “sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren’t working hard—but that’s because they’vemade it automatic. ” Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvaniaresearchers said, “ Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it.”The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how tomake willpower a habit in worke rs’ lives. Those courses are, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores andprofits of more $ 10 billion year.33. We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must___.A learn to give lecturesB attend education programsC design a working uniformD develop a common hobby34. Willpower will become a habit when employees can___.A focus on the profitsB benefit from the jobC protect themselves wellD control their feelings well35.

AA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑).Students arc increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes "mindlessly" by taking down word for word what the professors said In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper .They listened tothe same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk , they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers' report said, "While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears."In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.21. More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can .A. write more notesB. digest concepts betterC. get higher scoresD. understand lectures better22.

than those who use laptops（笔记本电脑）．Students are increasingly using laptops for note﹣taking because of speed and legibility（清晰度）．But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught．Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes"mindlessly"by taking down word for wordwhat the professors saidIn the first experiment，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper．They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note﹣taking skills．Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts．The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand．However，the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts．Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts．The researchers'report said，"While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly，as is more likely the case on a laptop，the benefit disappears．"In another experiment aimed at testing long﹣term memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture．This time，the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam．These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future．21．More and more students favor laptops for note﹣taking because they can．A．write more notes B．digest concepts betterC．get higher scores D．understand lectures better22．While taking notes，laptop users tend to be．A．skillful B．mindlessC．thoughtful D．tireless23．The author of the passage aims to．A．examine the importance of long﹣term memoryB．stress the benefit of taking notes by handC．explain the process of taking notesD．promote the use of laptops24．The passage is likely to appear in．A．a newspaper advertisement B．a computer textbookC．a science magazine D．a finance report．25．（8分）（Q=Question；A=Answer）Situation IQ：If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater，is it rude to move？A：Maybe，but nobody will fault you for it．Chances are that close sitter doesn't realize he disturbs you，so he may miss your annoyance．You undoubtedly aren't the first person he's met who needs enough room．Forgive his bad judgment，move quietly and enjoy the show．Situation IIQ：If I use the bathroom at a store，do I need to buy something？A：Consider frequency and urgency．Is this a one﹣time or an emergency？If so，you don't have to buy anything，but it would be kind if you did．However，if you regularly use the bathroom at this place，then you are a customer，and you should act like one．Situation IIIQ：If someone is talking loudly on the bus，is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down？A：No．Try other means.1）Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down.2）Lift your finger in a silence motion（动作）and smile.3）Put on earphones and ignore him．Situation INQ：If I remember my friend's birthday a day late，should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened？A：This is the reason why the word belated was invented．"Happy belated birthday!"is short for："Well，I know I forgot，but then I remembered．Forgive me and happy birthday．"Situation VQ：Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond（回复）toit？A：Don't lie．Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it．Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve？"Yes，"you can say if ever asked，"I saw it．"No explanation is needed as to why you don't respond．25．You will get annoyed in a theater when．A．a person is too activeB．a person is too rude to youC．a person talks too loudlyD．a person sits too close to you26．How will you quiet someone down in a public place？A．By making fun of him continuously．B．By looking purposefully at him．C．By talking to him directly．D．By pointing angrily at him．27．The underlined word"belated"in Situation IV probably means．A．predicted B．returned C．cancelled D．delayed28．What is the passage mainly about？A．Modern ways to mind your manners．B．Different ways to change others'manners．C．Proper manners to offer help to others．D．Good manners to talk to people．29．（8分）Would it surprise you to learn that，like animals，trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation？UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined．Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest，Simard shows just how wrong he was．In fact，the opposite is true：trees survive through their co﹣operation and support，passing around necessary nutrition"depending on who needs it"．Nitrogen （氮）and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi （真菌）networks，making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy．This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons （神经元）in our brains，and when one tree is destroyed，it affects all．Simard talks about"mother trees"，usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend．She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation，transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow．When humans cut down"mother trees"with no awareness of these highly complex"tree societies"or the networks on which they feed，we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest．"We didn't take any notice of it"Simard says sadly．"Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying，but we never give them chance．"If we could put across the message to the forestry industry，we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future．29．The underlined sentence"the opposite is true"in Paragraph 2probably means that trees．A．compete for survivalB．protect their own wealthC．depend on each otherD．provide support for dying trees30．"Mother trees"are extremely important because they．A．look the largest in size in the forestB．pass on nutrition to young treesC．seem more likely to be cut down by humansD．know more about the complex"tree societies"31．The underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refers to．A．how"tree societies"workB．how trees grow oldC．how forestry industry developsD．how young trees survive32．What would be the best title for the passage？A．Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB．Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC．Trees Are More Awesome Than You ThinkD．Trees Contribute To Our Society．33．（6分）Travis is the manager of GG where he is responsible for forty employees （雇员）and profits （利润）of over $2 million per year．He's never late to work．He does not get upset on the job．When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her，Travis took her away．"Your working uniform is your shelter，"he told her．"Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you．You will always be as strong as you want to be．"Travis picked up that lecture in one of his GG training courses，an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation．The training has，Travis says，changed his life．GG has taught him how to live，how to focus，how to get to work on time，and how to master his emotions （情绪）．Most importantly，it taught him willpower．At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all﹣important habit；willpower．Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success．And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit．"Sometimes it looks like people with great self﹣control aren't working hard ﹣but that's because they've made it automatic，"Angela Duckworth，one of the University of Pennsylvaniaresearchers said．"Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it．"The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self﹣control．Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to howto make willpower a habit in workers'lives．Those courses arc，in part，why GG has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than 10 billion a year．33．We loam from Paragraph 2that employees in GG must．A．learn to give lecturesB．attend education programsC．design a working uniformD．develop a common hobby34．Willpower will become a habit when employees can．A．focus on the profitsB．benefit from the jobC．protect themselves wellD．control their feeling well35．What can we infer from the passage？A．GG has grown into a large company．B．GG will spend half its profits training employees．C．GG may become more successful in the future．D．GG has to produce more workbooks for managers．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．选项中有两项为多余选项．36．（10分）Eyesight plays a

2014年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语（辽宁卷）第I卷第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）（略）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（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AA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑)Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度). But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly”by taking down word for word what the professor said.In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lecturers and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researcher’s report said, “While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.”In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggested that hand written notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.21. More and more students favor laptops for note-taking, because they can________.A. write more notesB. digest concepts betterC. get higher scoresD. understand lectures better22. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be ________.A. skillfulB. mindlessC. thoughtfulD. tireless23. The author of the passage aims to ________.A. exams the importance of long-term memoryB. stress the benefit of taking notes by handC. explain the process of taking notesD. promote the use of laptops24. The passage is likely to appear in ________.A. a newspaper advertisementB. a computer textbookC. a science magazineD. a finance reportB(Q=Question; A=Answer)Situation IQ：If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move?A : Maybe, but nobody will fault you for it. Chances are that the close sitter doesn’t realize hedisturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren’t the first person he’s met who needs enough room .Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show. Situation IIQ: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time thing or an emergency? If so, you don’t have to buy anything, but it would be kind you did. However , if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one .Situation IIIQ: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?A: No. Try other means :1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down. 2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作) and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.Situation IVQ: If I remember my friend’s birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened ?A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. “Happy belated birthday!” is short for : “Well, I know I forgot , but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday.”Situation VQ: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond (回复) to it ?A: Don’t lie .Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it. Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve? “yes,”you can say if ever asked , “I saw it.”No explanation is needed as to why you don’t respond.25. You will get annoyed in a theater when _______.A. a person is too active.B. a person is too rude to you.C. a person talks too loudly.D. a person sits too close to you.26. How will you quiet someone down in a public place?A. By making fun of him continuously.B. By looking purposefully at him.C. By talking to him directly.D. By pointing angrily at him.27.The underlined word “belated ” in Situation IV probably means ______.A. predictedB. returnedC. cancelledD. delayed.28. What is the passage mainly about?A. Modern ways to mind your manners.B. Different ways to change other’s manners.C. Proper manners to offer help to others.D. Good manners to talk to people.CWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it.”Nitrogen(氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi(真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons(神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about “mother trees,” usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“We didn’t take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.29.The underlined sentence “the opposite is true”in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees__________ .A. compete for survivalB. protect their own wealthC. depend on each otherD. provide support for dying trees.30. “ Mother trees” are extremely important because they_______.A. look the largest in size in the forestB. pass on nutrition to young treesC. seem more likely to be cut down by humansD. know more about the complex “tree societies”31. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to_______.A. how “tree societies” workB. how trees grow oldC. how forestry industry developsD. how young trees survive32. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC. Trees Are More Awesome Than You ThinkD. Trees Contribute To Our Society.3DTravis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees (雇员) and profits (利润) of over &2 million per year. He's never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her. Travis took her away. “Your working uniform is your shelter, ”he told her. “Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be.”Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions (情绪). Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit: willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. “Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren’t working hard---–but that’s because they’ve made it automatic,” Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said, “Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it.”The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers' lives. Those courses are, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than &10 billion a year.33. We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must ________.A. learn to give lecturesB. attend education programsC. design a working uniformD. develop a common hobby34. Willpower will become a habit when employees can _________.A. focus on the profitsB. benefit from the jobC. protect themselves wellD. control their feelings well35. What can we infer from the passage?A. G&G has grown into a large companyB. G&G will spend half its profits training employeesC. G&G may become more successful in the future.D. G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined．Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest，Simard shows just how wrong he was．In fact，the opposite istrue：trees survive through their co﹣operation and support，passing around necessary nutrition"depending on who needs it"．Nitrogen （氮）and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi （真菌）networks，making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy．This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons （神经元）in our brains，and when one tree is destroyed，it affects all．Simard talks about"mother trees"，usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend．She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation，transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow．When humans cut down"mother trees"with no awareness of these highly complex"tree societies"or the networks on which they feed，we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest．"We didn't take any notice of it"Simard says sadly．"Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying，but we never give them chance．"If we could put across the message to the forestry industry，we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future．29．The underlined sentence"the opposite is true"in Paragraph 2probably means that trees C．A．compete for survivalB．protect their own wealthC．depend on each otherD．provide support for dying trees30．"Mother trees"are extremely important because they B．A．look the largest in size in the forestB．pass on nutrition to young treesC．seem more likely to be cut down by humansD．know more about the complex"tree societies"。
