AIt was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.“Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”“Am I rich? Pity, no!”I looked at my worn-out slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.1.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.Lady, are you rich? B.A story of Thanksgiving DayC.Don't forget how rich you are D.Does cups and saucers match well?2.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.The girl thought the writer was rich just because she wanted to make the writer happy.B.The writer had thought she wasn't rich because her supplies were not expensive.C.If cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though cheap.D.After hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was. 3.The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to________.A.show that she was a kind-hearted ladyB.remind her that she shouldn't forget how rich she wasC.leave room for readers to think about what being rich isD.prove that she had understood what meant being rich4.It can be inferred from the text that whether you are rich depends on________.A.how much money you have made B.what attitude you have had towards life C.the way you help others D.your social relationshipBEverybody hates it, but everybody does it. A recent report said that 40%of Americans hate tipping. In America alone, tipping is a $16 billion-a-year industry. Consumers acting politely ought not to pay more than they have to for a given service. Tips should not exist. So why do they? The common opinion in the past was that tips both rewarded the efforts of good service and reduced uncomfortable feelings of inequality. And also, tipping makes for closer relations. It went without saying that the better the service, the bigger the tip.But according to a new research from Cornell University, tips no longer serve any useful function. The paper analyzes numbers they got from 2,547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants. The connection between larger tips and better service was very weak. Only a tiny part of the size of the tip had anything to do with the quality of service.Tipping is better explained, by culture than by the money people spend. In America, the custom came into being a long time ago. It is regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York restaurants, failing to tip at least l5% could well mean dissatisfaction from the customers. Hairdressers can expect to get l5%-20%, and the man who delivers your fast food $2. In Europe, tipping is less common. In many restaurants the amount of tip is decided by a standard service charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught on at all. Only a few have really taken to tipping.According to Michael Lynn, the Cornell papers' author, countries in which people are more social or outgoing tend to tip more. Tipping may reduce anxiety about being served by strangers. And Mr. Lynn says, “In America, where people are expressive and eager to mix up with others, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly, people think less of you. Tipping well is a chance to show off."5. This passage is mainly about ________.A. different kinds of tipping in different countries命题人:马婷B. the relationship between tipping and customC. the origin and present meaning of tippingD. most American people hate tipping6. Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase "caught on"?A. become popular.B. been hated.C. been stopped.D. been permitted7. Among the following situations, in your opinion, who is likely to tip most?A. A Frenchman just quarreled with the barber who did his hair badly in New York.B. An American just had a wonderful dinner in a well known restaurant in New York.C. A Japanese businessman asked for a pizza delivery from a Pizza Hut in New York.D. A Chinese student enjoyed his meal in a famous fast food restaurant in New York.8. We can infer from this passage that ________.A. tipping is no longer a good way to satisfy some customers themselvesB. tipping is especially popular in New YorkC. tipping in America can make service better nowD. tipping has something to do with people's characterCPeople are being tricked into Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal informatio n.Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth.The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules early on you keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook. You could create your own little private network. Last year. The company changed its privacy rules so that many things; your city, your photo, your friends’ names were set, by default (默认)to be shared with everyone on the Internet.According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information. They have a “less satisfying experience.Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. In original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them. At the side of the pages totally, who wants to took at ads when the y’re online connecting with their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April. Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guide lines for social networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning,which is why I’m considering cancelling my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too higha price to pay.9. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?A. It is a website that sends messages to users who want to get married.B. It earns money by putting on advertisements.C. It makes money by selling its users’ personal data.D. It provides loads of information to its users.10. What does the author say about most Facebook users?A. They are unwilling to give up their personal information.B. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook.C. They don’t identify themselves when using the websi te.D. They care very little about their personal information.11. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?A. To provide better service to its users.B. To obey the Federal guidelines.C. To improve its users’ connectionD. To expand its business.12. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?A. He is dissatisfied with its present service.B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.C. He doesn’t want his personal data badly used.D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.D13. What you have just read is a _______.A. noteB. reportC. scheduleD. poster14. What is going to take place on 2 February, 2013?A. A party for close friends to meet and have fun.B. A party to celebrate a traditional festival.C. A big event to welcome a Chinese new year.D. A social gathering to raise money for wildlife.15.

B.Noisy.C.Discouraged. D.Annoyed.BPicking tomatoesFor as long as I can remember,Grandma's plentiful tomato garden has been a sign of summer's end.Each September,just as the decreased heat of the sun suggests cooler days,Grandma requests my help in her tomato garden.She convinces me she cannot pick tomatoes without my youthful eyes and quick mind.She says we need to examine each tomato and agree on its readiness for picking.While Grandma's request for my help in the tomato garden is always the same,her desire for my help seems to increase each year.Grandma has eyes for finding even the tomatoes hidden by undergrowth and other tomatoes.I,however,just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like.I spot what looks like a ripe tomato,head in its direction,and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe.I usually end up watching Grandma and trying to stay out of her way,which seems the only way my eyes and mind are useful.There we are,lost in the tomato vines(藤).Grandma's eyes are always knowing,and they are no different in the vegetable garden.From afar she spots what looks like a ripe tomato.As she walks toward the garden,she evaluates the tomato for a second time,but from a different angle.I already know it will end up in the basket with the pile of others Grandma has carefully chosen.However,Grandma acts as if she needs final look to be sure.She calls me to her side,kneels beside the vine while enjoying the warmth of the fading sunlight on her face,and grasps the tomato in her hand.She turns each round,red ball toward the sunlight before disconnecting it from the vine with a halfhearted smile.She then looks at me.I nod my head and smile.Grandma assumes I smile in agreement with her tomato selection.I know I smile,instead,at her.45.Why does Grandma ask the author to go to the tomato garden with her?A.He can help pick more tomatoes.B.He can learn the hardship of labor.C.She enjoys staying with him while working.D.She tries to share the happiness of harvest with him.46.The second paragraph shows that the author ________.A.is an inefficient tomato pickerB.really has youthful eyes and quick mindC.has spent a lot of time gardening with GrandmaD.is a naughty child trying to be out of Grandma's sight47.In the last paragraph,the author smiles to Grandma because he ________.A.realized her true intentionsB.felt very happy to pick potatoes for herC.confirmed that her choice of tomato is greatD.appreciated her skill in finding ripe tomatoes48.What can we infer from the story?A. The grandchild will become more skillful at gardening than Grandma.B.Grandma will develop more patience in working with the grandchild.C.The grandchild will gradually become more independent of Grandma.D.Grandma's need for the grandchild's company will grow over time.CI was hurrying to our basketball game one morning when Hillary Barnes,the most popular girl,in school,stopped me.“Are you the twin who won the art competition?”she asked.“No,that's Christine.I'm Katie.”I said.We were not identical twins;we looked quite different.She could defeat Snow White in a beauty contest!Compared to Christine,I felt like one of Cinderella's stepsisters.One Saturday Christine gave me a painting lesson because I was always attempting to be artistic too.But I knocked over the vase of flowers,spilling water onto Christine's painting.Instead of becoming angry,though,she turned the whole mess into a dreamy masterpiece(杰作).You could look at it five different ways and see five different things.With this brilliant creation,she won First Prize in the art competition.I really envied her,but I knew it wasn't her fault and I was the one with wild,unmanageable hair and no talent.Joining Christine's basketball team was my latest effort to be like her.On the way to the gym,I'd made up my mind to give my best performance in that day's game.I made preparations with great enthusiasm.“Christine,here!”I tossed her a ball.But it was too high,she leapt for it,it slipped through her fingers and crashed into the tape recorder that was used to play the national anthem before each game.I muttered apologies as I picked up the broken pieces of the recorder.Coach looked at the mess and asked,“How are we going to play the song now?”Christine suggested,“Let Katie sing it!She's always singing at home.”Coach asked.“Would you?”I found myself nodding.Coach announced the national anthem and everyone stood.Standing before a microphone,I looked up to the flag.The notes seemed to flow from deep inside me,and my voice was steady and clear.When I finished,the gym was silent Then it was filled with applause.As the game started.teammates patted my back and gave me the “thumbs up”ura Jamison said.“You should try out for the school musical!”I Nodded and said that I might.The next morning Hillary Barnes stopped me in the hallway and asked,“Are you the twin who sings?”“Yes,that's me,”I answered,grining(露齿笑)as I walked to class.49.The authur uses“Snow White”and“Cinderella's stepsisters”to showA.how dissimilar the twins were in appearaneeB.why Christine could win the art competitionC.who was the most popular girl at schoolD.what the twins characters were like50.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Christine was unpleasant to her sister.B.Katie showed a lot of ability in painting too.C.The masterpiece was painted by the two sisters.D.Katie took a reasonably balanced view of her sister.51.Christine recommended Katie for the national anthem because ________.A.she knew perfectly well what Katie had a gift for.B.she wanted to repair the damage she had caused.C.she thought Katie should be punished.D.she would like to help the coach.52.What is the message of the story?A.Bad situations help become popular.B.People are talented in different ways.C.People should always be nice to others.D.Unsuccessful attempts are well worth the effort.DWhat makes a house a home?Not size,of course.I've been in some of the grandest houses in America,and it's clear that no one lives there.Earlier this year,I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia,where we sat on chairs next to the hostess' bed—a home that had more warmth than any house I've been in since.Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his justreleased(发行)Home.The Blueprints of Our Lives.There Edwards writes,“This isn't a book about houses;it's a book about homes.About the values they rest on,the dreams they are filled with,and the people they have shaped.”Edwards writes,“The houses and circumstances are different,but much of what you find inside will be familiar.”Whether you're sitting in an airport right now,waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving,or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive,you know what he's talking about.We've lived in our townhouse for 21 years.It's home now.The loose windows that shake in the wind.The fireplace so shallow it holds only one log.The kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by.It's where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed.I lived there for only 18 years,but it will always be my true home.Even the lamp in the west living room window,which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night,still shines.While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting,home is whom you're with,not where you are.As Edwards writes,“Home is family.Home is safety.Home is faith.”Happy homecoming.53.According to the author,what makes a house a home?A.All the belongings in the house.B.Feelings of warmth and comfort.C.The houses and circumstances.D.Drinking with friends on the kitchen counter.54.About the book Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives,we know that ________.A.it was the description of Edwards' housesB.it is mainly about housesC.it helps us understand the concept(概念)of homeD.it was written by the author of the text55.What did the author mean when he mentioned the loose windows and the shallow fireplace?A.His house was too old to live in.B.He missed the feeling of home.C.He hated living there.D.He missed his old friends too much.E篇章结构Ancient Rome was one of the world's most powerful empires more than 2 000 years ago.The Romans' ideas about roads,laws,government and buildings still influence us today.Italy is shaped like a boot.The Colosseum in Rome was built during the time of the Roman Empire,in the first century A.D.__56 _It is a popular tourist attraction today.Italy is well-known for its designers,who create cars,handbags,clothes,shoes and other items that are in demand for their style and fine workmanship.Today,the economy of Italy is stronger than in the past.__57__Today,manufacturing and tourism are the main sources of income.There are some big companies,but Italy has many smaller companies,too.__58__The southern part does not offer as many manufacturing jobs,so it is not as prosperous.Italy is a member of the European Union,a group of countries that join together for better trade.The currency,or money,they use is called the“euro”.Food

高中英语学习材料(灿若寒星*制作整理)上期期末考试试题高二英语阅读理解(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)AMany people go to school for a good education. They learn languages, history, maths and other lessons. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. No matter how much a teacher knows, he cannot teach his students everything they want to know. His work is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves. It is always more important to know how to study by oneself. It is quite easy to learn something in a language or a formula(公式)in maths,but it is difficult to use a formula in finding the answer to a maths problem . Great inventors do not get everything from school but they can invent many things and change the world a lot. Though Thomas Edison invented many things he didn’t have much school education. How do they do all these? Because they know how to study. A lot of things are not taught in the classroom. They get knowledge from books outside school. They work hard all their lives, and the most important thing is that they know how to use their head.1. What do many people go to school for?A. To make friendsB. To get everythingC. To get a good educationD. To study by themselves2. What should a student learn to do from school?A. Try to remember more knowledge and formulas.B. Try to learn how to read and how to think.C. Try to remember what the teachers teach.D. Try to invent the world.3. How can an inventor invent things? The most important thing is how to:A. be a great inventorB. study by himselfC. use his head wellD. remember what he’s been taught4. What is the main idea of this passage?A. School education is important for a person.B. A student can not learn everything from school.C. A student should learn how to remember a formula.D. Inventors can invent things and change the world a lot.BPerhaps every town in the United States has a post office. Some are very small, and you may also find them in the corner of a shop. Others are large buildings. Theyare open five days a week and on Saturday mornings. From Monday through Friday they are usually open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m..If you know how much the postage(邮资) is for your letter, you can buy stamps at any windows. In some post offices you can buy stamps from machines. Stamps are sold at many different prices, from one cent to many dollars. If you are not sure how much postage is for your letter, you can ask the clerk . He or she will give you the stamps you need. If you are sending your letters far away, write on the envelope that you want them to go by air or use an airmail envelope. Remember that postage will be more expensive for a letter that you want to send to foreign countries.At a post office you can also buy postcards. A postcard is cheaper than a letter. Usually the price of postage for a postcard is about half that of a letter. The postcards that you buy at a post office do not have pictures. However, they are also not to be sent outside the countries. Letters are an easy and cheap way to keep in touch with people in many different countries.5.In the United States, every post office, large or small, is open____.A.every day except SundayB.from Monday to FridayC.from8:30 to 5:30 every dayD.five and a half days a week6.In a post office in the USA, people can buy all the following except____.A. lettersB. stampsC. envelopesD. postcards7.If someone wants to send a letter on Saturday afternoon, he or she____.A.can buy stamps at any shopsB.can use an airmail envelopeC.must go to large post buildingsD.must wait till next Monday8.People sometimes prefer postcards to letters because postcards____.A.needn’t be sent by airB.cost people less moneyC.don’t have any picturesD.can be bought in post officesCWhen Mr. David retired, he bought a small house in a village near the sea. He liked it and hoped to live a quiet life in it.But to his great surprise, many tourists came to see his house in summer holidays, for it was the most interesting building in the village. From morning to night there were tourists outside the house. They kept looking into the rooms through the windows and many of them even went into Mr. David’s garden. This w as too much for Mr. David. He decided to drive the visitors away. So he put a notice on the window. The notice said: “If you want to satisfy your curiosity(好奇心), came in and look round Price: twenty dollars.” Mr. David was sure that the visitors would stop coming, but he was wrong. More and more visitors came and Mr. David had to spend every day showing them around his house. “I came here to retire, not to work as a guide.” he said angrily.

He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day.

But unlike many of his classmates at Shanghai's Foreign Languages High School, Chen did not set his sights on Harvard, Yale, or any of the other Ivy League schools;__41___ he applied to Bowdoin College, a small, elite liberal-arts college in Maine. Chen received a full scholarship to study psychology, and he later added economics as a second ___42_____.Now in his senior year, Chen has become such a devotee of the liberal-arts approach that he's made it his ___43____ to spread the word throughout China. He has coauthored a book called A True Liberal Arts Education, which essentially explains the little-known concept to Chinese students and their parents. "Most Chinese people only know about Harvard, Yale, and Princeton," he says __44____ coffee in a Shanghai café during his winter vacation. Though there have been many books about how to get into Ivy League universities, "there was not a single book in China about the smaller liberal-arts colleges," he says. Chen, 23, explains that he was won over by Bowdoin's___45_____to developing skills for life, rather than simply for the workplace. "Liberal arts is about fostering your identity," he says. "They want to__46____ your mind. You may not remember all the knowledge you've learned after four years, but they want you to know how to learn."Yet he admits that liberal arts may be a hard sell in a country with an ___47____ competitive job market. The book states that in the short term, a liberal-arts education won't improve job prospects. "In China, employers are looking for someone who can come in and start working ___48___ when they graduate, not someone who still needs to be trained in practical skills," Chensays. At the same time, he argues that many employers say liberal-arts graduates perform better over the long term.Over the past couple of years, ___49____ from China to U.S. liberal-arts colleges have risen significantly. Bowdoin now has 300 Chinese applicants a year, compared with 100 a couple of years ago.III. Reading Comprehension(36%)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects.

For example, some advertisers have appealed to people’s desire for better fuel economy for their ___51__ by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage.

A few years ago a brand of bread was offered to dieters with the message that there were fewer calories in every slice. It turned out that the bread was not dietetic, but just __54__ bread.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York--he in computers, she in special education."Teaching means everything to us," Tim would say.In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation.It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton' s foundation that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's hometown of Sevier, Tennessee.“I thought, maybe Linda and I c ould do something like this when we retire," Tim recalls.He placed the brochure on his desk, "as a reminder”.Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library. com.The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters.Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see.“We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda.The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work.Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area.Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of.”The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children.“Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim.“Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”65.What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?A.His health problem B.His love for teachingC.The influence of his wife D.The news from the Web.66.What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?A.Give out brochures.B.Do something similar.C.Write books for children D.Retire from being a teacher.67.Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?A.To avoid signing up online.B.To meet Dollywood board members.C.To make sure the books were the newest.D.To see if the books were of good quality.68.What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph?A.He needs more money to help the children. B.He wonders why some people are so busy.C.He tries to save those waiting to die.D.He considers his efforts worthwhile(B)DONALD SLOANGates Hall University of Kansas Lawrence, KS 66045 913-243-1682 After May 2009:46 Clayton Drive St. Louis, MO 63130 314-726-8840Objective To work with the client (委托人) population in a social service position.

This passage is most probably ______.A. an advertisement for enrolling new employeesB. a school report at the end of an academic yearC. a self-introduction meant to apply for a jobD. a part of a recommendation letter from a university70. According to the “Experience” section, we can infer that Donald Sloan can be _____.A. a wise leaderB. a skillful performerC. a gifted scientistD. a good social worker71. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Donald Sloan is a postgraduate of University of Kansas, majoring in social services.B. Donald Sloan has performed surgeries in Danyers General HospitalC. Donald Sloan worked in Fairview Nursing Home before he assisted in Danyers General HospitalD. Donald Sloan did the voluntary work offering advice on teenager problems over the phone72. From the passage we can learn that Donald Sloan ______.A. is good at singing and dancingB. is about to graduate from a universityC. has an interest in being a surgeonD. specializes in psychology(C)Ruth Simmons joined Goldman Sachs’s board as an outside director in January 2000: a year later she became president of Brown University. For the rest of the decade she apparently managed both roles without attracting much criticism. But by the end of 2009 Ms. Simmons was under fire for having sat on Goldman’s compensation committee; how could she have let those enormous bonus payouts pass unremarked? By February the next year Ms. Simmons had left the board. The position was just taking up too much time, she said.Outside directors are supposed to serve as helpful, yet less biased advisers on a firm’s board. Having made their wealth and their reputations elsewhere, they presumably have enough independence to disagree with the chief executive’s proposals. If the sky and the share price is falling, outside directors should be able to give advice based on having weathered their own crises.The researchers from Ohio University used a database hat covered more than 10,000 firms and more than 64,000 different directors between 1989 and 2004. Then they simply checked whichdirectors stayed from one proxy statement to the next. The most likely reason for departing a board was age, so the researchers concentrated on those “surprise” disappearances by directors under the age of 70. They found that after a surprise departure, the probability that the company will subsequently have to restate earnings increased by nearly 20%. The likelihood of being named in a federal class-action lawsuit also increases, and the stock is likely to perform worse. The effect tended to be larger for larger firms. Although a correlation between them leaving and subsequent bad performance at the firm is suggestive, it does not mean that such directors are always jumping off a sinking ship. Often they “trade up.” Leaving riskier, smaller firms for larger and more stable firms.But the researchers believe that outside directors have an easier time of avoiding a blow to their reputations if they leave a firm before bad news breaks, even if a review of history shows they were on the board at the time any wrongdoing occurred. Firms who want to keep their outside directors through tough times may have to create incentives. Otherwise outside directors will follow the example of Ms. Simmons, once again very popular on campus.73. According to Paragraph 1, Ms. Simmons was criticized for __________.A. gaining excessive profitsB. failing to fulfill her dutyC. refusing to give inD. leaving the board in tough times74. We learn from Paragraph 2 that outside directors are supposed to be __________.A. generous investorsB. unbiased executivesC. share price forecastersD. independent advisers75. According to the researchers from Ohio University after an outside director’s surprise departure,the firm is likely to ______________.A. become more stableB. report increased earningsC. do less well in the stock marketD. perform worse in lawsuits76. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that outside directors _____________.A. may stay for the attractive offers from the firmB. have often had records of wrongdoings in the firmC. are accustomed to stress-free work in the firmD. will decline incentives from the firm(D)As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating and transmission system for the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.The 19th century saw land grants offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the West, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases thelandownership has presented unique challenges to land management. With the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns, which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West. This is not an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.So trade-offs will have to be made. Some scenic spots will be sacrificed. Some species will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects.The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter. The 21st century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways.The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So let’s remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West. 77.What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?A.Small towns along the railways became abandoned. B.Some railroad stops remained underused.C.Land in the West was hard to manage. D.Land grants went into private hands.78.What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs?A.The transmission of power. B.The use of money and power. C.The conservation of solar energy. D.The selection of an ideal place. 79.What is the author’s attitude towards building solar plants?A.Cautious B.Approving C.Doubtful D.Disapproving 80.Which is the best title for the passage?A.How the Railways Have Affected the WestB.How Solar Energy Could Reshape the WestC.How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be ReducedD.How the Problems of the Highways Have Been SettledSection C: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. F=A+EA. Life in the blue-water worldB. Diving tours around the worldC. Options to meet various interestsD. Necessary equipment to ensure safetyE. Experiences on scuba-diving holidaysAE. Experienced staff to keep you company81.__________________________Have you ever wondered what it might be like to live under the sea? Imagine the feeling of freedom you would have swimming through the clear, blue water deep beneath the waves, admiring the different types of corals, unusual plants and the creatures that call the sea bed home. Passing turtles are swimming above you, while bright and colorful groups of fish are travelling alongside you through the depths. All of this is possible on one of our scuba(水中呼吸器)-diving holidays! 82.____________________________International Diving Tours can prepare you for the experience of a lifetime. On our scuba-diving holidays, you will have the opportunity to swim in some of the most beautiful locations in the world, where you can explore underwater caves and coral reefs, and witness some of the strangest and most wonderful creatures on the planet. Not only will you have one of the most exciting times of your life, but you will also come back from your trip feeling calm and relaxed. 83.____________________________We offer several different holiday options for you to choose from. Our sales people can plan and organize the best trip for you, all for the best price! Options include the chance to explore some of the most famous ancient shipwrecks hidden beneath the ocean, or, if you prefer the natural world, we also offer tours of the world-famous Great Barrier Reef in Australia. We even offer the chance to swim with dolphins or venture into a shark cage, where behind the safety of a metal barrier you can watch these fierce beasts go about their daily life.84. ____________________________All the necessary equipment for your underwater adventure is provided, from wetsuits designed to fit all body shapes, to the latest scuba masks to help you see when you are exploring the world beneath the sea. For longer dives, we provide tanks of oxygen that can let you dive for up to four hours. All of our equipment is checked regularly to ensure that you remain safe at all times.85.______________________________Our instructors are among the best in the world. They will show you how to swim in your scuba equipment and how to communicate with hand signals under water, which is vital for deep-sea diving. They will also make sure you understand how to return to the surface safely, since rising too quickly can cause a number of health problems. Most importantly, however, they will make sure you have fun.IV. Translation: (15%)86. 如果你方便的话,请你帮我在网上订购两张音乐会的票。

AWhen I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. 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.My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was her. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan...” And my mother was standing beside me,whispering loudly, “Why he don’t s end me check already two weeks ago?”And then, in perfect English I said, “I’m getting rather concerned.You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”Then she talked more loudly, “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clea r, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped me shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.21. Why was the aut hor’s mother poorly served?A. She was not very polite.B. She was often misunderstood.C. She was not clearly heard.D. She was unable to speak good English.22. From paragraph 2, we know that the author was .A. good at pretendingB. unwilling to phone for her motherC. rude to the stockbrokerD. ready to help her mother23. After the author made the phone call, .A. they failed to get the checkB. they went to New York immediatelyC. they forgave the stockbrokerD. they spoke to their boss at once24. What does the author think of her mother’s English now?A. It helps her understand the world.B. It embarrasses her.C. It helps her tolerate rude people.D. It confuses her.BAs we know, many teen celebrities(名人) feel and think that having a slimmer figure can do great good to them. But, does size really matter? Are teenage fans trying hard to become like their celebrity idols(偶像)? Do celebrities really have the power to influence people, especially teenagers?For the longest time, many parents blame teen idols for influencing the way their kids act. Have you noticed how teens idolize the celebrities these days? Even, their personal affairs are being followed by kids these days. Take for example the case of Lindsay Lohan of Mary Kate Ashley. They are definitely famous teen stars. But, since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business, their health and body suffer. Many kids are aware of this problem. But they are easily influenced by these celebrities to exercise and eat less.It is a fact that the media, and especially famous teen celebrities, can influence people powerfully. But teenagers are easily influenced because teenage years are the period when our personality and identity developments take place. Teens watching TV shows and reading magazines are easily pulled into the dieting and harmful eating habits because the media have some ways to pull these acts. They use thin models and celebrities to endorse(做广告宣传) products or to star in an up-and-coming shows or movies. With fierce competition, celebrities are forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that come their way.Living in today’s time and generation is a bit disturbing to a lot of parents. Media, especially as well as the celebrities, have a very powerful infl uence to drive teenagers to good or bad. It’s good that we can control ourselves to avoid bad things from happening. If not, parents should really be aware and guide their teens to determine what’s in a n d what’s out.25. From the passage we can find Lindsay Lohan .A. doesn’t get any exerciseB. lives a rich and happy lifeC. lives an unhealthy lifestyleD. sets a good example for teenagers26. According to the writer, why are teenagers easily influenced by some TV shows?A. They are tired of school.B. Their celebrity idols appear in many TV shows.C. They have nothing to do in their spare time.D. They’re in their development period.27. Many celebrities have to be on diet ______.A. to keep a slim sizeB. to survive under pressureC. to keep healthy to face competitionD. to satisfy their teenage fans28. What’s the title of the passage?A. Parents’ responsibilities.B. Bad influences of celebrities.C. Advice on self-control.D. Media’s bad influences.CTable 2: Major Industry Products29. The output of _______in 2011 increased over 2010.A.tea, meat, fruit, cloth, steel and carsB.cows milk, grain, color TV sets and micro-computersC.fresh water products, coal, fruit and cigarettesD.cotton, rapeseed, electricity and coal30. Which of the following saw the greatest change over 2010?A. Metal cutting machine tools.B. Fresh water products.C. Micro-computers.D. Fruit.31. The output of grain produced in 2011 was ____that in 2010.A. over 20 million tons less thanB. about 11.8 million tons less thanC. 12 million tons more thanD. almost as much asDIn China, if you are not married by the time you are 30, you are in for trouble: social blame and pressure from family and friends can get you down. And if you are a woman, it’s even worse. Many young people get married simply to get other people off their backs (免受别人的指责) . This is a serious compromise (妥协). One ends up not marrying the ideal partner.There are, however, a few young people who refuse to compromise: if they can’t find a good marriage partner, they say, they would rather not marry at all.34-year-old Kate is a university lecturer in English. She said she would not describe herself as celibatarian (独身主义者) but simply a woman who hasn’t come across the right man yet. She has sharp comments for the way in which the old generation looks at marriage.“Many people think marriage is a duty---to your parents, family and society. Nobody cares if your marriage is happy or not, she said, I think this is very wrong and I intend to live and act according to my own will.”Happily for her, her parents are open-minded and not put pressure on her. But the same does not apply to her friends. They are constantly trying to get her together with some young man or another. She always refuses politely.32. Miss Kate refuses to get together with some young man or another because _______.A. he is either too old or too youngB. she doesn’t think he is the right man she wantsC. he is either important or little learnedD. he doesn’t have good manners33. In the first paragraph the underlined words “in for” re fer to _______.A. interested inB. possible to sufferC. worried aboutD. satisfied with34. Which is NOT TRUE according to this passage?A. In China, one may face social blame and family pressure if one hasn’t got married by the age of 30.B. Miss Kate wants to many a worthy young man.C. Miss Kate won’t compromise if she can’t have her ideal marriage.D. Miss Kate’s parents are always worried about her marriage.35. If marriage is regarded as a duty to society, __________.A. nobody will pay attention to whether you are happy or not in your family lifeB. everybody will be happy and satisfiedC. you can easily find an ideal partnerD. young people will have nothing to worry about in marriage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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
