泗阳中学2013届高考英语任务型阅读专项训练(二)

江苏省泗阳中学2013高考英语任务型阅读专项训练（二）AThere are many things that we wish to achieve in life. For some, we set goals and objectives, and for some we don’t. Try to remember the last time you set a goal to achieve a certain task. Were you able to complete the task in an effective manner? The tasks which are done by setting and meeting daily goals will definitely be useful and rewarding experiences. A step-by-step approach towards achieving smaller goals is the key to achieving larger ones.When it comes to the workplace, each and every employee is expected to meet daily responsibilities and expectations. With organizations becoming more and more competitive, the importance of goal-setting for employees is increasing. It helps the employee to perform better and increases his or her efficiency and time management. It’s also important for every student to set high academic goals so as to be able to build a good career.Setting goals for completing the daily schedule helps an employee to finish the assigned tasks and targets in a timely manner. If an employee is performing the way he or she is expected to, then this will automatically increase the performance, output and productivity of both the employee and the organization. Daily study targets are the same. This helps you complete your assignments within the set time, thus putting less pressure on you during exams and increasing your chances of performing well.How many times you have to be at work on a weekend just to complete your work? How many times you have had to stay up all night to complete your homework or study for your exams? Had you followed your set goals and targets right from the beginning, you would have spent the time relaxing rather than being busy working or studying! Setting up goals and objectives helps you organize your time and efforts in an efficient manner.In performing your work diligently, you are likely to keep a steady pace when it comes to fulfilling your set targets. Because you are already on track, there will be no unnecessary workload and time limits over your head. Therefore, another benefit of effective goal-setting is lack of stress and a more calm and relaxed mind. Only a stress-free and calm mind can house progressive and productive thoughts. A calm mind causes positivity, which goes a long way towards increasing your ability to achieve the personal goals you have set for yourself.Each and every human being aims to achieve two things: to fulfill desires and to enjoy life. This is possible only through proper discipline and time management. Goal-setting leads to not only professional growth but also personal growth and development. You are expected to know that every step counts and that setting up goals is easy, but following them on a consistent basis is difficult. Therefore, if you want to be successful and also harvest the fruits of your hard work, you need to stick to your set goals and be focused towards achieving them. Realize the significant role that goal-setting plays in your life, make sure that you do all you can to achieve what you want., set your goals, work towards achieving them and celebrate your success!Passage outline Supporting detailsSignificance of goal-setting in achieving success In face of competition , employees with goals can perform better as well as (71)_________ efficiency and time management.

We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. It is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased largely. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable slaughter (屠杀) of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel （方向盘）, his car becomes the additional part of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They swear, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and completely selfish. All their hidden anger, disappointments and envies seem to be exposed by the act of driving.The surprising thing is that society only smiles so kindly on the motorist when seeing his behaviors talked about above. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost unsuitable to live because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is damaged by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. In regard to driving, the laws of some countries are dishonorably loose and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through inflexible annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can destroy a person’s driving ability, so present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. The highest and lowest speed limits should be put on all roads, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound unacceptably harsh. But surely nothing should be considered to be too severe if it results in reducing the annual loss of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not for motor-cars.Title: Strict Traffic Laws Can Prevent AccidentsPresent situation of road accidents◇.Road accidents seem to happen (1) ________.◇.We are quietly sitting back and letting road slaughter happen.(2) _____ for so many road accidents◇.When driving a car, a man tends to become ill-mannered and behave in an (3)_______ way.◇.It seems that all the hidden anger, disappointment and envies are (4)_______by the act of driving.◇.Society just (5)_______various kinds of bad behavior of a motorist.◇.People (6) _______the road accident statistics.(7) _______ that should be taken to reduce road accidents◇.

All vehicles should be given strict annual tests. Drinking and driving laws should be made much stricter.◇. The highest and the lowest speed limits should be put to (9) ________.◇. No advertising which stresses power and performance should be (10)_________.CGoing soy is the way to go greenIn 1829, U.S. farmers grew soybeans (大豆) for the first time. In the late 1800s, lots of farmers began to grow soybeans as food for cattle. In 1904, at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, George Washington Carver began studying the soybean. His discoveries changed the way people thought about the soybean. No longer was it just a crop for cattle; it provided valuable protein and oil. Now soybean oil is the most popular source for an alternative fuel.Fueling diesel (柴油) engines with vegetable oil started with the inventor Rudolf Diesel. When Diesel showed his engine at the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris, it was running only on peanut oil, a kind of biodiesel. According to the United Soybean Board, biodiesel is a fuel made from vegetable oils or animal fats.However, over the next 100 years, diesel fuel was made largely from petroleum (石油). Interest was renewed in biodiesel in the mid-1970s when the energy shortage occurred, and gas prices surged upward throughout the United States. In spite of these conditions, commercial production did not take place until much later. In 1999, The National Biodiesel Board reported that 500,000 gallons per day were produced. In 2000, production increased to 6.7 million gallons per day.With the continual rising costs of petroleum products in the new century, major corporations and the United States government have looked to new markets. Farmers are encouraged to grow soybeans in their fields, as the demand for soybean fuel increases. They can now get several gallons of fuel per acre of soybean.Biodiesel is created by removing a thick liquid called glycerin from soybean oil. It is registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency as a pure fuel, which is known as B100, or as a fuel additive, which is called B20, a mixture of 20 percent soy and 80 percent petroleum-based diesel.There are many benefits of soybean fuel.Studies have shown that biodiesel from vegetable oil reduces petroleum consumption when used in place of petroleum diesel.In addition, the use of biodiesel reduces CO2 in the earth’s atmosphere. This is due to the fact that growing soybeans consumes nearly four times as much CO2 as the amount of CO2 produced from biodiesel waste gases.If you ever want to take a ride in a car or bus powered by soybeans, you can. The Agriculture Research Center (ARS ) National Visitor Center bus, which is used for Beltsville, Maryland farm tours, is running on biodiesel fuel.ARS scientists are conducting biodiesel fuel research, and they are trying tofind ways to make fuel from vegetable oils, animal fats, and used restaurant oils.Biodiesel fuel costs more than regular diesel fuel. However, the price may drop if people use it more. We can look to the future with the hope that clean fuel sources will continue to be widespread in the United States and even around the world.1.___________2.__________3.____________4.____________5._______________6.___________7.___________8.___________9.____________ 10.______________A)71. increase 72. importance 73. delaying 74. organized75. relaxation 76. stress 77. due 78. beneficial79. aware / conscious 80. payB)1. frequently 2.

江苏省泗阳中学高三英语定时训练3

江苏省泗阳中学2013届高三定时训练一、阅读理解As we drove along, my spirits went up again, and I turned, with pleasure, to the thought of the new life which I was entering. But though it was not far past the middle of September, the heavy clouds and strong north-easterly wind combined to make the day extremely cold; and the journey seemed a very long one, so that it was nearly one o’clock before we reached the place of our destination. Yet when we entered the gateway, my heart failed me, and I wished it were a mile or two farther off. For the first time in my life I must stand alone: there was no retreating now. I must enter that house, and introduce myself among its strange people. But how was it to be done? True, I was near nineteen; but, thanks to the protecting care of my mother and sister, I well knew that many a girl of fifteen, or under, was gifted with a more womanly address, and greater ease and self-possession, than I was. Yet, anyway. I would do very well, after all; and the children, of course, I should soon be at ease with them."Be calm, be calm, whatever happens," I said within myself; and truly I was so fully occupied in steadying my nerves and keeping down the rebellious beat of my heart that when I was admitted into the hall and into the presence of Mrs. Bloomfield, I almost forgot to answer her polite greeting; and it afterwards struck me that the little I did say was spoken in the tone of one half-dead or half-asleep.With due politeness, however, she showed me my bedroom, and left me there to take a little refreshment for a little while and led me into the dining-room. Some beefsteaks and potatoes were set before me; and while I dined upon these, she sat opposite, watching me (as I thought) and trying to keep something like a conversation—consisting chiefly of commonplace remarks. In fact, my attention was almost wholly absorbed in my dinner: not from appetite, but from the toughness of the beefsteaks, and the numbness of my hands.“I have had so little time to attend to their education myself, but I think they are clever children, and very willing to learn, especially the little boy; he is, I think, the flower of the flock— a generous, noble-spirited boy, one to be led, but not driven, and remarkable for always speaking the truth.” “His sister Mary Ann will r equire watching,” continued she, “but she is a very good girl on the whole, though I wish her to be kept out of the nursery as much as possible, as she is now almost six years old, and might acquire bad habits from the nurses.I have ordered her bed to be placed in your room, and if you will be so kind as to look after her washing and dressing, and take charge of her clothes, she needs to have nothing further to do with the nursery maid.”I replied I was quite willing to do so; and at that moment the children entered the room. Tom Bloomfield was a well-grown boy of seven. Mary was a tall girl, for her age of six, somewhat dark like her mother. The second sister was Fanny, a very pretty little girl, looking little younger than Mary. The remaining one was Harriet, a little broad, fat, merry, playful thing of scarcely two, whom I had more desire for than all the rest — but with her I had nothing to do.67. Which of the following statements best describes how the writer felt when sheentered Mrs. Bloomfield's home?A. She was nervous, dissatisfied with her manners but still confident.B. She was cold, hungry but eager to see all the children in the family.C. She was frightened, nervous and regretful about her decision.D. She was calm, confident and very happy with all the family.68. What job would the writer take in Mrs Bloomfield's home?A. A nursery maid.B. A house cleaner.C. A home cook.D. A family teacher.69. Which of the following was TRUE according to the passage?A. The writer had some difficulty with her lunch because of the tough food and the cold.B. The delicious food took the writer's attention away from Mrs. Bloomfield’swords.C. All the children were well educated before the writer came to the family.D. All the children in the family were looked after by Mrs Bloomfield herself.70. From the passage, we can infer that ___________.A. Mrs Bloomfield would treat the writer kindly and help her a lotB. The youngest girl Harriet would be the writer’s favor ite studentC. the writer would take on more responsibilities than she shouldD. Tom Bloomfield would be the cleverest of all the children二、任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)Parents can help their seventh and eighth grade students stand out in and out of their English classroom by introducing them to newspapers. Newspapers not only offer information on current events, but they can also be used to test your child's knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, and more.Who, What, Where, When, Why, and HowHave your child read the first couple of paragraphs of a news story. Ask them to write down all of the important facts, such as who, what, where, when, why and how. This helps parents to see if their children comprehend the basic facts and information they read.GrammarParents can monitor a child's understanding of grammatical parts of speech (词性) without a grammar textbook. Ask your child to read a paragraph in an article and then list a specific number of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions and the like, which serves more of a test of their grammatical knowledge. Encourage them to list each of these parts of speech in a paragraph. Then, reread the paragraph to see if they missed anything.PersuasionAsk your child to select an advertisement from the newspaper. Have them investigate how specific words or phrases influence their feelings about a particular product. Then, encourage them to create an advertisement of their own for an item they do not like. Tell them not to show their true feelings and try to make people want to buy this unwanted item. After that, ask them to list the persuasive techniques used in their ad.Facts vs OpinionsSelect an editorial for your middle schooler to read. Have your child divide a piece of paper into two columns, one marked fact, and the other marked opinion. Have your student decide which column it fits under. This will help your child better understand facts versus opinions. Another related exercise is responding to an editorial. Encourage your child to write letters to the editor or responses to editorials or other articles. Before your child sends his or her letter, check the opinion section to see what requirements there are.Headlines and Synonyms (同义词)Ask your middle schooler to rewrite a couple of headlines using the synonyms of the original words. Compare the headlines. Do the original versions or the rewrites sound better? This is a great exercise to help students learn synonyms and expand their vocabulary.If you find your seventh or eighth grade child is struggling with these newspaper activities, it may be an indicator that they have fallen behind in their reading skills. These activities were designed with a seventh or eighth grader in mind; therefore, while they are educational, they should be more of67 – 70 ADAC71.

泗阳中学2013届高考英语任务型阅读专项训练(一)

江苏省泗阳中学2013高考英语任务型阅读专项训练（1）How is it that siblings(兄弟姐妹)can turn out so differently? Each sibling grows up in a different family. The first-born is, for a while, an only child, and therefore has a completely different experience of the parents than those born later. The next child is, for a while, the youngest, until the situation is changed by a new arrival. The mother and father themselves are changing and growing up too. One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years; another might be raised in a family crisis, with a disappointed mother or an angry father.Sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918.But more recently, researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each others’ lives. Dr.Annette Henderson says first-born children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings. The reason for this might be that the later children aren’t getting the same one-on-one time with parents. But that do esn’t mean that the younger children have problems with language development. Later-borns don’t enjoy that much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between “I”and “me”.A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially. Love-hate relationships were common among the children. Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. Researchers have found that the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third. Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being more feminine than girls with sisters. A 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years, finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents.Title: Reasons for the (71)___________ betweeen siblingsDifferent family situations The first child lives in a stable and close family, (72)_________ things differently from later ones.The next child may (73)__________ up in a crisis.The child (74)__________ later leads to the change of the family again.Parents themselves are changing too;Sibling competition Children mae be (75)__________ by the competition.It is found that brothers and sisters have a lasting (76)___________ on each other.The first-born (77)__________ vocabulary more quickly.

However, its definition is difficult for many people. The meaning of the term is confusing, but everyone should understand its meaning and objectives (目标). Just to make the explanation as simple as possible,suppose science is defined as classified knowledge or facts.Even in the true science, distinguishing fact from fiction is not always easy. For this reason great care should be taken to distinguish between beliefs and truths.There is no danger as long as a clear difference is made between temporary and provedexplanations. For example, hypotheses(假设) and theories are attempts to explainnatural phenomena. From these positions the scientist continues to experiment andobserve until they are proved or discredited. The exact status of any explanationshould be clearly labeled to avoid confusion.The objectives of science are primarily the discovery and later theunderstanding of the unknown. Man cannot be satisfied with recognizing that secretsexist in nature of that questions are unanswerable; he must solve them. Toward thatend, specialists in the field of biology and related fields of interest are directingmuch of their time and energy.Actually, two basic approaches lead to the discovery of new information. One,aimed at satisfying curiosity, is referred to as pure science. Sometimespractical-minded people miss the point of pure science in thinking only of itsimmediate application for economic rewards. However, one should remember that theconstruction of the microscope had to come before the discovery of the cell. Thehost of scientists devoting their lives to pure science are not apologetic aboutignoring the practical side of their discoveries; they know from experience thatmost knowledge is eventually applied.The other is aimed at using knowledge for specific purposes--for instance,improving health, raising standards of living, or creating new consumer products.In this case knowledge is put to economic use. Such an approach is referred to as applied science.The (71) of science(72) ___________ of science● To define science, we m ay (73) call it classifiedknowledge or facts.● It is essential, though not (74) , for us todistinguish fact from fiction.Objectives of science Science is (75) ______ at discovering and understanding the unknown.Two basic (76)___________to new discovery Pure science Scientists, who may be blamed for (77) ______ the practical sideof their work, make discoveries out of (78)_______ .

A new theory suggeststhat medicine could be bad for your health, which should at least come as good newsto people who cannot afford to buy expensive medicine. This new theory argues that healing is at our fingertips: we can be healthy by doing Yoga on a regular basis.Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically proven. They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Yoga. These waste our time, something which is quite precious in our material world. There is medicine that can kill our pain, x-rays that show us our bones or MRI that scans our brain for tumors (肿瘤).We must admit that these methods are very effective in the examples that they provide. However, there are some “everyday complaints” such as back pains, headaches, insomnia, which are treated currently with medicine. When you have a headache, you take an Aspirin; when you cannot sleep, you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of these. When you use these pills for a long period, you become addicted to them; you cannot sleep without them. We pay huge amounts of money and become addicted instead of getting better. How about a safer and more economical way of healing? When doing Yoga, you do not need anything except your energy so it is very economical. Its popularity has spread particularly throughout America and Western Europe. In quantum (量子) physics, energy is recognized as the fundamental substance (物质) which the universe consists of. Yoga depends on the energy within our bodies. It is a simple and effective way of restoring the energy flow. There are no side effects and it is scientifically explained.Opponents of alternative healing methods also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer cannot be treated without drugs. They think so because these patients spend the rest of their lives in the hospital taking medicine. How can Yoga make these people healthy again? It is very unfortunate that these patients have to live in the hospital losing their hair because of chemotherapy (化疗), losing weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take. Actually, it is common knowledge that except for when the cancer is recognized at an early stage, drugs also cannot treat AIDS or cancer. Most of the medicines these patients use are to ease their pain and their sufferings. Instead of drugs which are expensive and have many side effects, you can use your energy to overcome the hardships of life, find an emotional balance, leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries. We should definitely start learning Yoga and avoid illnesses before it is too late.Title: Health and Healing at Your Fingertips(71) ▲ to a new theory A new theory argues that doing Yoga (72) ▲ can keep people healthy while medicine might do (73) ▲ to people’s health.Support of medical treatment ● People should (74) ▲ medicine as it is very useful forkilling pain.● Medicine is effective and scientifically proven while Yuga isa kind of spiritual method and doing Yoga is only a (75) ▲of time.● Illnesses (76) ▲ HIV/AIDS and cancer can only be treatedwith drugs.Support of Yoga ● Doing Yoga is safer and not as (77) ▲ as taking medicine. ● Most of the medicines that patients with some (78) ▲ diseases use are to ease their pain and their sufferings but can not cure them. ● Yoga has no side effects and also there is a (79) ▲explanation.

He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down a street after someone he wants to talk to.Little of his time is spent in chatting. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty of stupid crimes.Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as so on as he’s arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminal is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks, little effort is spent on searching.Having made an arrest, a detective really starts to work. He has to prove his case in court and to do that he often has to gather a lot of different evidence.A third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: first, as members of a police force, they always have to behave absolutely in accordance with the law. Secondly, as expensive public servants, they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.If the detective has to deceive the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simple-minded — as he see it — of citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and judges, who, instead ofeliminating crime, punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, detective feel, is that nine-tenths of their work is re-catching people who should have stayed behind bars.

Every person knows at least one language, which he learns in his childhood and is routinely used for speaking and writing. However, many people are fond of learning two or more languages, so they try to be bilingual, which means that they try to have the knowledge of two or more languages. And being bilingual can bring a person a number of benefits in various aspects. For example:A person can get cognitive(认知的) benefits from it. The bilingual people have two or more words for each idea and object. Therefore, a bilingual person can develop a creative thinking. The bilinguals are aware of which language should be spoken with which person in a particular situation. So they are more sensitive(敏感的) to the needs of the listener than the people who only use one language: Being bilingual also improves and enriches a person's mental development.Being bilingual has a positive effect on a person's character. The bilinguals are able to switch between different languages and talk to different people in various languages. It increases a sense of self-esteem( 自尊). Being bilingual creates a powerful link in different people from different countries.A bilingual education offers better curriculum results. The bilinguals tend to show a higher performance in examinations and tests. The bilinguals find it quite easy to learn and speak three, four or more languages.Being bilingual offers potential employment benefits. It offers a wider choice of jobs in various fields. The bilinguals can get a great many career opportunities in transport, tourism, public relations, marketing and sales, banking, translation,law, teaching and so on.So it can be concluded from the above that we should try our best to learn and master two or more languages.Title: 1.__________ of being bilingual2._______ Having the knowledge of two or more languages.Benefits Cognition● Make a person think 3.__________.● Make a person more sensitive to the listener's 4.__________.● Improve and enrich a person's mental development.5.______● Increase a person's sense of 6.________.●Create a powerful link in different people from differentcountries.Curriculum ● Enable a person to 7._____ better in examinations and tests.● Make a person easily learn and speak more languages.8._______ ● Offer a person more 9.__________ in finding jobs.10._______ We should try our best to learn and master two or more languages.1.Advantages/Benefits2.

Conclusion（8）A new set of brain images shows why: Reading the Roman alphabets and Chinese characters uses different parts of the brain.The results also suggest that Chinese schoolchildren have reading problems in a different part of the brain used in reading alphabet-based languages. This shows that the learning disorder dyslexia (inability to read properly) is not the same in very culture and does not have a universal biological cause.Scientists described the results as “very important and revolutionary”. While dyslexia has certain common roots, they said, they now have some proof that this kind of functional problem works differently according to the different demands that Western and Eastern languages place on the brain.Dyslexia is a common developmental disorder in which people of normal intelligence have difficulty learning to read, spell and master other language skills.The results suggest that treating dyslexia around the world probably will require different treatments.“Reading is complex,” said Guinevere Eden, Georget own University professor. “This shows we need to be more open-minded about diverse treatment approaches.” Its origins are complex. There appears to be a genetic aspect to the illness. It also may result from brain injury before birth that changes visual and hearing pathways in the brain.Earlier brain scans show that English-reading dyslexics don’t function properly in a left part of the brain associated with the awareness of 44 sounds from the English alphabet. However, according to the new study, reading Chinese uses some different parts of the brain located in the left-front of the brain. It is associated with symbol interpretation. Unlike alphabet letters, Chinese characters represent entire thoughts and physical objects.DyslexiaDefinition a learning(1)______ in which people of averageIQ find it (2)_____to learn to read and acquireother language skillsOrigins Genetic causes or brain (3)______ before birth,which affects (4) and hearing abilitiesFinding of the earlier study (5)_____readi ng dyslexics don’t functionproperly in a left part of the brainDiscovery of the new study Reading Chinese uses the(6) _____part of thebrainConclusion Reading Roman alphabets and reading Chinesecharacters place different(7)____on the brain.Dyslexia is not the same in every(8) _____and doesnot have the same(9)_____roots.(10)_______ Dyslexia needs to be treated in different ways1.disorder/problem2.difficult/hard3.injury/damage4.visual5.English/ Alphabet6.left-front7.demands/requirements8.culture9.biological 10.So lution（9）People say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive reckless ly up and down America’s main streets; they carry chips on their shoulders as big as the Sears Tower. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldn’t forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman’s funeral (葬礼). I didn’t expect the event to affect me. Through much of the ceremony, in fact, I remained unmoved.Then her teenage grandson stepped forward. With his very first deep breath, every heart in that church was achingly reminded of something we had all forgotten. Softlyhe began: “I want to share a few values that Nana t aught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would literally attract her, what would Nana say? ‘Oh, what beautiful markings that dog has.’ That was Nana.“She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for Grandpa’s career,” he said, with a voice now trembling. “That was Nana’s way.”Through a muffled sob, he continued. “Whenever she did anything worth recognition, you’d have to hear about it from a different source, because she was never one to brag.”Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, “Nana taught me courage. She put up an incredible fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nana’s way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner.”There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they haven’t learned to be controlled.When that boy rose to speak about the woman who surely had been his truest ally and dearest friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide in the calm ritual. He exposed us to the truth about this very real woman who believed in a boy who probably tried the patience of many adults. He reminded us that his grandmother was more than another dot on the chart of life and death.All over again we felt those powerful losses crisscrossing our own hearts, and we knew that when you say good-bye to a beloved grandparent, you say good-bye to something happy, something young in yourself. And that something never really returns, and the pain never really goes away.TeenagersAccording to the passage, people don’t think (1) _________ of teenagers.I seldom felt (2) ________at afuneral. But from the boy’s speech, I know his grandmother had great (3) _________ on the boy when she was alive.

It speaks more plainly than words. Time communicates in many ways.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the United States, guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is perhaps not true in some other countries. There it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meanings of time differ in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life. For example, no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour. It would be too impolite. When equals(同辈) meet, a person who is five minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than five minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.In the western world, particularly in the United States, people tend to think of time as something fixed in nature, something from which one cannot escape. As a rule, Americans think of time as a road stretching into the future, along which one progresses. The road has many sections which are to be kept separate—“one thing。

She always _39_ enough to make sure the intersection was clear, and then zipped on through. She usually talked on her cell phone while driving.

Job interview results are becoming the most common conversation topic in dormitories, Worried about not getting satisfactory offers, some students have sleep problems, or lose their appetite. Some might even display symptoms of depression．According to a survey across several universities in Wuhan conducted by Wuhan Yangtze Business University, over 72 percent of student participants were worriedabout finding a job. Students in the first one or two years were also uneasy about their job prospects, which contributed to spreading anxiety further．Lang Lei, 22, a business major from Renmin University in Beijing, admitted having mood swings when job hunting. The student hoped to get positions with large state-owned enterprises in his hometown of Yantai, Shandong. But when it turned out that things wouldn't be so easy, Lang became concerned. After some struggling moments, he has now changed to more realistic goals．Others feel tortured（受折磨）while waiting for interview results. Mo Tong, a senior software engineering major at South China Normal University, would fall into a nervous state every time after he attended a job interview．“For a day or two I couldn't help but keep thinking about how l performed in front of the interviewers, how well I dealt with their questions, and whether they would consider giving me a chance in the end," Mo was unable to focus on other things as his anxiety grew．Media reports about rising unemployment rates and a difficult job market have touched students' nerves．‘‘I’m alarmed by articles saying h ow bachelor's degree holders are losing ground," said Wang Hongjuan, a sophomore English major from Putian University in Fujian province. "It suggests to me that good jobs are only available to graduate or doctoral students."As Wang has no plans to further her education, she has to commit herself to all sorts of extracurricular activities to improve her prospects. This throws her into a packed schedule．Wen Fang, a well-known education psychology expert and consultant in Beijing, advises students not to be misled by depressing surveys and reports about the job market. "Unemployment rates are not linked to an individual's chances of getting a job," he said. "An individual's chances are actually mainly determined by his or her capability."According to Wen, a moderate degree of anxiety is normal---it can even be helpful. But if it constantly affects a student's normal life, one should pay more attention. "Focus on adapting yourself to the needs of society, and never ever overestimate your goals," Wen added．保温2答案：单选：21-25 CBCDA 26-30 DBCBC 31-35 DABAC完型：36-55 BCACB ABDCA BCCAB BCACD任务型阅读：71. anxious/ worried 72. talk 73. depressed 74. majors 75. difficult / hard/ struggling/tough 76. finally/ eventually77.growing/increasing/rising 78. advantage(s)/edge(s) 79.depends 80. set。

Quiet Virtue: The ConscientiousThe everyday signs of conscientiousness (认真尽责)—being punctual, careful in doing work, self-disciplined, and scrupulous (一丝不苟的) in attending to responsibilities—are typical characteristics of the model organizational citizen, the people who keep things running as they should. They follow the rules, help out, and are concerned about the people they work with. It’s the conscientious worker who helps newcomers or updates people who return after an absence, who gets to work on time and never abuses sick leaves, who always gets things done on deadline.Conscientiousness is a key to success in any field. In studies of job performance, outstanding effectiveness for almost all jobs, from semi-skilled labor to sales and management, depends on conscientiousness. It is particularly important for outstanding performance in jobs at the lower levels of an organization: the secretary whose message taking is perfect, the delivery truck driver who is always on time.Among sales representatives for a large American car manufacturer, those who were most conscientious had the largest volume of sales. Conscientiousness also offers a buffer (缓冲) against the threat of job loss in today’s constantly changing market, because employees with this quality are among the most valued. For the sales representatives, their level of conscientiousness mattered almost as much as their sales in determining who stayed on.There is an air around highly conscientious people that makes them seem even better than they actually are. Their reputation for dependability influences managers’ evaluations of their work, giving them higher evaluations than objective measures of their performance would predict.But conscientiousness in the absence of social skills can lead to problems. Since conscientious people demand so much of themselves, they can hold other people to their own standards, and so be overly judgmental when others don’t show the same high levels of model behavior. Factory workers in Great Britain and the United States who were extremely conscientious, for example, tended to criticize co-workers even about failures that seemed unimportant to those they criticized, which damaged their relationships.When conscientiousness takes the form of living up to expectations, it can discourage creativity. In creative professions like art or advertising, openness to wild ideas and spontaneity (自发性) are scarce and in demand. Success in such occupations calls for a balance, however; without enough conscientiousness to follow through, people become mere dreamers, with nothing to show for their imaginativeness.题型自主分析：1、原词重现（信息查找）：2、词性转换（信息加工）：3、提炼概括（信息归纳）：2012江苏卷第四部分: 任务型阅读(共10 小题;每小题1 分,满分10 分)请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

The microprocessor card can add. delete, and deal with the information on the card, while a memory-chip card can only do one thing.Smart cards, unlike magnetic stripe cards, can do many different things and hold a lot of information. In this way, they do not need to get information from a faraway place when they are used.Today, there are several kinds of smart cards, all of which are very popular in the market:IC (Integrated Circuit) Microprocessor Cards Microprocessor Cards (chip cards) offer a larger memory and better security than the traditional magnetic stripe cards do. Chip cards can also hold data. These cards are used for many things. Thus, chips have been the main platform for cards that hold a secure digital identity. Some examples of these cards are:Cards that hold money.Cards that provide safe access to a network.Cards that allow setting stop boxes on televisions to remain safe from privacy. Optical Memory Cards Optical memory cards look like cards with a piece of CD on the top. Optical memory cards can store up to 4MB of data. But once written, thedata can not be changed or removed. Thus, this type of card is good for keeping records, such as medical files, driving records or travel histories. Today, these have no processors in them (although this is coming in the near future).

江苏省泗阳中学高三英语阅读理解专项训练

江苏省泗阳中学2013届高三阅读理解专项训练一As the end of this semester draws near, many students are staying up late to finish their thesis paper before the deadline. But those who have slacked off might resort to ghostwriters.It has become common for some college students to buy theses or scientific papers from online shops, such as Taobao. If you search for “ghostwriting academic papers”, a list of shops providing this service comes up.Usually they display a price tag of 10 yuan for their services, but that’s certainly not the real fee. Shop owners ask potential customers about their specific needs and base their price on the word count and other requirements. An academic paper may cost between a few hundred yuan (for a short term paper) and tens of thousands of yuan (for long dissertations).Senior student Chen Yihua (not his real name) from a university in Nanjing and his three roommates bought their theses from an online shop last month. In their opinion, ghostwriting is just one of the useful tools available to students who want better grades.“I understand that students should be perfectly capable of producing quality work on our own,” said Chen, who is majoring in mathematics. “But students in scientific, mathematical and technological fields often lack solid writing skills. So sometimes we need ‘assistance’ in converting our ideas into academic texts.”A PhD holder in Shanghai (who wished to remain anonymous) said he opened an online shop selling thesis papers at the end of 2010. He is a full-time employee, but he can earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan for writing one essay. The high profit is the driving force behind his business idea.“I am just using my academic gift to help others in my spare time,” he said. “Thanks to real-estate developers, I’m a house mortgage slave and I need money.”However, Taobao’s customer service department claimed that providing such services is forbidden. The online platform punishes shops that violate the rules by reducing seller’s credit rating, preventing them from being searched or ev en shutting them down.But some lawyers consider these services to operate in a gray area. “In terms of legality, online sites offering ghostwriting services could not be considered unlawful in China as long as the real author agrees to give the copyright to the client,” said Liu Chunquan at Shanghai Yongle Law Firm.Education experts point out that this practice is unethical. Universities require students to write dissertations or papers independently, so employing someone else to write them is considered cheating.“It is academic fraud. Graduates should be capable writers, no matter what they are majoring in. Remember that your dissertation should demonstrate not only how well you know your subject matter, but how effectively you can communicate your ideas through writing,” said Shen Yang, a deputy professor at Wuhan University.“Academic writing is a skill that a university student must develop. Employingsomeone else’s service is an admission of failure.”At present, however, it’s hard to discern if paper s are self-produced or not. As a result, many teachers ask students to discuss their papers or prepare presentations based on them. If it transpires that ghostwriting is involved, students face serious punishment and can even be dismissed by their universities.1.The underlined praise “resort to” in the first paragraph probably means___________.A. subscribe toB. turn toC. contribute toD. submit to(B词义猜测题。

江苏省泗阳中学2013届高三定时训练阅读理解In October 1961 at Crowley Field in Cincinnati Ohio an old deaf gentleman named William E. Hoy stood up to throw the first ball of the World Series. Most people at Crowley Field on that day probably did not remember Hoy because he had retired(退休) from professional baseball 58 years earlier in 1903. However he had been an outstanding player and the deaf people still talk about him and his years in baseball.William E. Hoy was born in Houckstown Ohio on May 23, 1862. He became deaf when he was two years old. He attended the Columbus Ohio School for the deaf. After graduation he started playing baseball while working as a shoemaker.Hoy began playing professional baseball in 1886 for Oshkosh(Wisconsin) of the Northwestern League. In 1888 he started as an outfielder(外场手) with the old Washington Senators. His small figure and speed made him an outstanding base runner. He was very good at stealing bases during his career. In the 1888 major league season he stole 82 bases. He was also the Senators’ leading hitter in 1888. Hoy was clever and he threw right-handed and batted left-handed. On June 19,1889 he threw out three batters(击球手) at the plate from his outfield position.The arm signals used by judges today to show balls and strikes began because of Hoy. The judge lifted his right arm to show that the pitch was a strike and his left arm to signal that it was a ball.For many years people talked about Hoy’s last ball game in 1903. He was playing for Los Angeles of the Pacific Coast Winter League. It was a memorable game because Hoy hit a wonderful ball which won the game. It was a very foggy day and therefore very hard to see the ball. In the ninth inning(棒球的一局) with two men out, Hoy managed to catch a fly ball to make the third out in spite of the fog. Los Angeles defeated their opposition and won the game.After he retired Hoy stayed busy. He ran a dairy farm near Cincinnati for 20 years. He also became a public speaker and traveled giving speeches. Until a few years before his death he took 4-10 mile walks several mornings a week.

江苏省泗阳中学2013届高三“艺体类”专项复习：阅读专题三In June, 2007, a group of students from eight high schools in Winnipeg, the capital of Canada’s Manitoba province, will begin test-launching (试发射) a satellite the size of a Rubik’s cube.The one-kilogram Win-Cub satellite, named for its home city and its shape, will be put into low orbit. Once in space, it can perform for a few months or up to several years, communicating information that could help find the signs of earthquakes.There are 80 similar satellite projects worldwide, but this is the first high-school based program of its kind in Canada. 30 Manitoba high school students are having a hand in designing and building the satellite, in cooperation with aerospace (航空航天的) experts and 10 students from the University of Manitoba, and with support from two other organizations.The Win-Cube project is not something that goes on a piece of paper; it is real-world engineering, allowing high school students to have an opportunity to learn more about the exciting world of engineering through their participation in this challenging program. It is also taken as a wonderful example of the unique partnerships within Manitoba. Designing, building and launching a satellite with high-school participation will bring this world-class educational project into reality and Manitoba closer to space.“These Manitoba high school students deserve congratulations for the ir enthusiasm, innovation (创新), and a strong love for discovery,” said Education, Citizenship and Youth Minister Peter Bjomson. “We want to make science more relevant, interesting and attractive to high school students by showing them how classroom studies can relate to practical experience in the workplace or, in this case, in space,” Bjomson added.The Win-Cube program is mainly named at inspiring a strong desire for discovery on the part of the students. It also shows Manitoba’s devotion to research and innovation and the development of a skilled workforce — all important drivers of knowledge-based economic growth.1. According to the passage, the Win-Cube satellite is .A. named after Manitoba and its shapeB. intended for international communicationC. designed like a Rubik’s cube both in shape and sizeD. challenged by university students around the world2.

Do you know why people living in particular areas usually have a certain colour? Biology and history are the two reasons for this.Skin contains something called melanin, which determines a person’s skin colour. The more melanin a person has, the darker his or her skin will be. The amount of and production of melanin are controlled by genetics, but can be affected by other things, such as sunlight. If a person lives in a place with strong sunlight, his or her skin will protect itself by producing more melanin, making the skin darker. In a place with less sunlight, a person’s body will produce less melanin, making the skin lighter.Skin colour is also affected by another source—vitamin D. Humans all need vitamin D to build bones. People can get it by eating foods such as fish and milk, or from sunlight, which causes vitamin production in the skin. Melanin protects skin by absorbing sunlight, so sunlight absorbed by melanin cannot be used for vitamin D production. Therefore, a dark-ski nned person will produce less vitamin D than a light-skinned person when they received the same amount of sunlight.The connection between vitamin D production and skin colour is clear when we look at evolution. The earliest humans lived in Africa, their dark skin covered with hair. When they moved to places that had less sunlight, their bodies produced less vitamin D because of their dark skin. As a result, their skin made less melanin, so they could get enough sunlight to produce vitamin D. their skin gradually got lighter and they lost hair. Now, people who live in areas with strong sunlight, like Africa, have darker skin, while people living in other areas have lighter skin. The exception to this is the Inuit, who live in a place with little sunlight, but have dark skin because they eat a lot of fish and have enough vitamin D.Evolution has given us a rainbow of skin colours. Humans have always had melanin to determine our skin colour. What has changed through history is the environment where we have lived. This has in turn changed our melanin production, and eventually, skin colour.A World of Skin ColourBDACD ACDCA DBBCB ACDAB71. introduction 72. area 73. lie 74. determined 75. darker 76. affecting 77. produce 78. while 79.

泗阳中学2013届高三英语 “艺体类”专项复习：阅读专题4

江苏省泗阳中学2013届高三“艺体类”专项复习：阅读专题四In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Bad events like "serious illness of a family member" were high on the list, but so were some helpful life-changing events like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not show how you deal with stress － it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you deal with these events dramatically (戏剧性的) affects your chances of staying healthy. By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women's magazines ran titles like "Stress causes illness".If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy the articles said avoid stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous , many — like the death of a loved one — are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription (处方) for staying away from chances as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move. The idea that all stress makes you sick also takes no notice of a lot of what we know about people. It supposes we' re all vulnerable and not active in the face of the difficult situation. But what about human ability and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental strength than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom and physical and mental pressure.1. The result of Holmes-Rahe’s medical research tells us _________________.A. the way you deal with major events may cause stressB. what should be done to avoid stressC. what kind of event would cause stressD. how to deal with sudden changes in life2. The studies on stress in the early 1970s led to ___________________.A. popular avoidance of stressful jobsB. great fear over the mental disorderC. a careful research into stress-related illnessesD. widespread worry about its harmful effects3. The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows ________________.A. how you can deal with life-changing eventsB. how helpful events can change your lifeC. how stressful a major event can beD. how much pressure you are under4. Why is “such simplistic advice” (Line 1, Paragraph 3) impossible to follow?A. No one can stay on the same job for long.B. No prescription is effective in reducing stress.C. People have to get married someday.D. You could be missing chances as well.5.

His job was to clear away natural waste from the pool water in the hills, which made up the lovely river flowing through the town nearby. Quietly and 36 , the old man guarded the hills, 37 the leaves and branches, and cleaned up the dirt that would have 38 and polluted the fresh flow of water. The town soon became a popular attraction for tourists. Elegant swans （天鹅）floated along the clear river and the view was so beautiful 39 words.Y ears passed. One evening the town 40 met. As they reviewed the budget, one man’s 41 caught sight of the salary 42 being paid to the seldom seen keeper of the river. He asked, “Who is the old man? Why do we 43 to employ him? No one in town ever 44 him. For all we know, the strange keeper of the hills isn’t doing his job. His position isn’t 45 any longer.” Then they voted to 46 the man.For several weeks, nothing changed…By early autumn, the trees began to 47 their leaves. Small branches broke off and fell into the pools of the hills, 48 the flow of the shining water. One afternoon, someone noticed a slight yellowish-brown 49 in the river. A few days later, the water was much 50 . Within another week, something oily covered some sections of the water along the banks, and a terrible 51 was soon sensed. Swans left, and so did the 52 . The only thing that was now visiting the village was disease and sickness.Quickly, the 53 town committee called a special meeting. Realising their huge error in 54 , they rehired the old keeper of the river, and within a few weeks, the river began to clear up.

The Chinese version,which was officially started in mid-October, consists of nine famous universities, including Peking, Tsinghua, Zhejiang and Fudan. The union is supposed to result in student exchange programs, recognition of academic achievements, and other joint programs.The news of thi s Chinese “Ivy League” has received mixed responses from the public and press. Some negative critics have dismissed it as yet another example of the wishful copying of international practices without fully understanding them. Others say that the “Ivy League” is not necessary but that the union is a good idea, one that could promote academic development.So what’s your opinion on a Chinese “Ivy League”? Do we need one?Y es. Ivy League or not, nine of China’s best universities cooperating is a good thing.These universities combining resources could create a better environment for students and for research. It could also save a lot of time and resources because it would mean fewer unnecessary investments for some of the universities.Allowing students to move to or have exchanges with other universities could broaden their horizons, improve their social skills and create more employment opportunities. The results could be more important than lessons and achievements.The term “Ivy League” carries a sense of aca demic excellence, tradition and reputation. If borrowing such a term could encourage students’ and professors’ mental state and improve Chinese higher education, then there’s no reason not to do it. No. Universities should do some work on increasing cooper ation instead of copying an “Ivy League” model.Many Chinese universities already have such cooperation with each other. If this cooperation were associated with the “Ivy League”, it would just distract (分散) attention and resources and have a negative effect.These Chinese universities are all state-run and most get their funding from the government. They’re quite similar to each other in many ways and more cooperation wouldn’t bring about as much potential ability as between , say, public and private, or Chinese and foreign universities.China should find its own way to develop world-class universities instead of by copying some foreign practices.

江苏省泗阳中学2013高考英语任务型阅读专项训练（五）(1)Zebras have their own bug repellent(驱虫剂)?Eww bugs! They are so annoying! We humans are lucky that we can apply repellents to avoid nasty bites. But what’s an animal to do? They have no choice but to spend their days shooing them off with their tails, unless, of course, they are zebras, who apparently have their own automatic repellent--- their striped skin!Scientists had originally thought that the reason why the animal had developed the black and white lines was to help protect itself from predators in the African savannah, because the stripes make it difficult to single out one zebra that is traveling with a herd.While that may be true, the theory has never been tested or proven. Now the experts have another---that the stripes have evolved to repel the annoying horse flies that not only feed off their blood, but also, transmit dangerous germs into the bodies of these innocent animals.The study was performed by a team of Swedish scientists. One of the clues that got them thinking along these lines was the fact that darker horses got bitten more often than light-colored or white ones.The fact that zebras are born black and only develop strips as they grow older made the scientists theorize that the stripes may be something the animals have developed to make themselves less attractive to flies.To test if this may be the case, they painted some boards at a horse-infested horse farm in Budapest with pattens of black and white stripes of varying widths and applied a layer of glue on them. What they noticed was that the places where the black and white stripes were at their narrowest (similar to what zebras have) attracted the fewest flies. They achieved similar results when they painted horses with black and white zebra-like stripes.While the research are not sure why this may be the case, they believe it may be something to do with the way insects operate---horseflies are attracted to horizontally polarized light（偏振光）; since white does not reflect it, white horses are luckier than black ones. But zebras seem to be the luckiest of all. When the researchers measured the polarized light reflected from real zebra skins, they found that it matched light pattens that were the least attractive to horseflies.While this theory does make logical sense, nobody is 100 percent sure that it is really true, given that it has never been tested on a real zebra. If it is true, it does raise the question of why a horse, a close relative of the zebra has failed to develop stripes. The researchers believe that this could be because there are more horseflies in Africa, where zebras reside, then anywhere else in the world.Possible answers:1.protecting2. attacked3.Sweden4.Purpose5.likely6.variously7.Findings8.ones9.appeals 10.Unless（2）The new year's just begun and already you're finding it hard to keep those resolutions to junk the junk food, get off the couch or kick smoking. There's a biological reason a lot of our bad habits are so hard to break – they get deep-rooted in our brains.That's not an excuse to give up. Understanding how unhealthy behaviors become deep-rooted has scientists learning some tricks that may help good habits replace the bad. "Why are bad habits stronger? You're fighting against the power of an immediate reward, We all as creatures are hard-wired that way, to give greater value to an immediate reward than something that’s delayed. " says Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.Just how that bit of happiness turns into a habit involves a pleasure-sensing chemical named dopamine（多巴胺）. It conditions the brain to want that reward again and again – increasing the connection each time – especially when it gets theright cue(暗示) from your environment.People tend to overestimate their ability to resist temptations around them,thus destroying attempts to get rid of bad habits, Even scientists who recognizeit find it hard to resist. "I don't like popcorn. But every time I go to the cinema,I have to eat it," Volkow says. "It's fascinating."A movement to pay people for behavior changes may exploit that connection, as some companies offer employees outright payments or insurance rebates for adopting better habits.However paying for behavior plays out, researchers say there are some steps that may help counter your brain's hold on bad habits :repeat, repeat, repeatthe new behavior – the same routine at the same time of day. Determined to exercise? Doing it at the same time of the morning, rather than fitting it in haphazardly, makes the brain recognize the habit so eventually. If you don't do it, you feel awful, Exercise itself raises dopamine levels, so eventually your brain will get a feel-goodhit even if your muscles protest. Reward yourself with something you really desire, Volkow stresses. You exercised all week? Stuck to your diet? Buy a book, a greatpair of jeans, or try a fancy restaurant - safer perhaps than a box of cookies becausethe price inhibits the quantity.Possible answers:1.Biologically2.preference3.repeatedly4.resistant5. advantage6. way7.picking8.kick/break/drop9. fixed 10.desperate/eager/dying（3）An Event of ImaginationThe year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.On 17 July, a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth's atmosphere with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the seabed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina.Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north won't escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, and temperature around the world falls to almost zero. Crops are ruined. The sun won't be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food.A year later, no more than 10 million remain alive.Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs (恐龙) were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn't live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?请根据以上文章，完成下列表格：1.

They are mostly related to the weather. Someare predictable ----like a hurricane. Some, like an earthquake, surprise us. It is necessary for us to learn about them, so we can be prepared!Flooding happens during heavy rains, when rivers overflow, when ocean waves come onshore, when snow melts too fast or when dams or banks break. Flooding is the most common of all natural disasters.Hurricanes are severe tropical storms that form in the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and in the Pacific Ocean. Hurricanes gather heat and energy through contact with warm ocean waters. Evaporation from the seawater increases their power.Hurricanes have winds at least 74 miles per hour. When they come onto land, the heavy rain, strong winds and heavy waves can damage buildings, trees and cars.Tornadoes are nature’s most violent storms. T ornadoes must always be taken seriously. Tornadoes can be very dangerous ---- sometimes even deadly. They comefrom powerful thunderstorms and appear as moving. Tornado winds can reach 300 milesper hour. They cause damage when they land the ground. They can damage an area onemile wide and 50 miles long.While thunder won't hurt you ----lightning will! So it's important to pay attention when you hear thunder. Thunderstorms happen mostly in summer and every thunderstorm has lightning. Lightning can strike people and buildings, which is very dangerous.Thunderstorms affect small areas when compared with hurricanes and winter storms. The typical thunderstorm is 15 miles in diameter and lasts an average of 30 minutes.A volcano is a mountain with a large opening at the top through which melting rock, steam, gases escape from time to time with violent force from inside the earth. When pressure increases, eruptions occur. Gases and rock shoot up through the opening fill the air with small pieces. Eruptions can cause lava flows, hot ash flows, mudslides, falling ash and floods, which is likely to knock down entire forests, cause floods and earthquakes. Fresh volcanic ash can cause damage to the lungs of older people, babies and people with respiratory problems.1.featuresmon3. connection4. less5. Evaporation6.squareparison8. Volcanic9.

Ethanol is an alcohol that can be mixed with gas. It burns up most of the pollutants in gas. It replaced some of the chemicals that are known to cause cancer.Some experts say that in the future ethanol will replace some of the oil imported into America. Today ethanol is less than one percent of the total American fuel supply. The head of the National Corn Growers Association, Kieve Hars, says ethanol will provide twenty five percent of the fuel supply by 2010. The organization is involved in the production of ethanol because it can be made form corn.One company in American Midwest says it is starting to produce ethanol because of demands form people and from the government. The Congress approved the Clean Air Act in 1990. The company says this means the market for ethanol will expand. The company is a major producer of corn starch (淀粉) that can be used to make ethanol. At Texas University, Professor Mark Holzapple produces ethanol from materials found in solid waste. He has developed a way to turn materials like paper into simple sugar. He then uses yeast (酵母)to turn the sugar into ethanol. Professor Holzappple says two hundred liters of ethanol fuel can be produced from one ton of solid waste.A professor at the University of Arkansas, John Geddie, is exploring another way to make ethanol. He is using acids on paper material. He says a large factory could produce ethanol from waste paper about the same cost of that of gasoline. Environmentalists support the use of ethanol because it turns waste into a useful product. Professor Holzapple says law makers in industrial nations need to support the development of this renewable fuel of the future.1. cheap2. alcohol 3 .remove. 4. known 5.place 6. waste 7.Congress 8. producers 9.production 10 place(6)Dear Seth,You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can’t read, much less understand what I’m going to try to tell you in this letter.You won’t be able to understand this letter today, but someday, when you’re ready, I hope you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you.You are at a wonderful stage of life. You have many wonderful stages of life still to come, but they are not without their costs and risks.I hope to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of what I’ve learned. As with any advice, pay little attention to it. What works for me might not work for you.Life Can Be CruelThere will be people in your life that won’t be very nice. They’ll tease you because you’re different, or for no good reason. They might try to hurt you.There’s not much you can do about these people except to learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you, who actually care about you, who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this, hold on to them, treasure them, spend time with them, be kind to them, and love them.There will be times when you are met with disappointment instead of success. Life won’t always turn out the way you want. This is just another thing you’llhave to learn to deal with. But instead of letting theses things get you down, push on. Accept disappointment and learn to persevere, to purser your dreams despite traps. Learn to turn negatives into positives, and you’ll do much better in life.Life Isn’t a CompetitionYou will meet many people who will try to surpass you ,in school, in college, or at work. They’ll try to have nicer cars, bigger houses, and nicer clothes. To them, life is a competition- they have to do better than their peers to be happy.Here‘s a secret: Life isn’t a competition. It’s a journey. If you spend that journey always trying to impress others, you’re wasting your journey. Instead, learn to enjoy the journey. Make it a journey of Happiness, of constant learning, of continual improvement, and of love.Love Should Be Your RuleIf there is a single word you should live your life by, it should be this: love . It might sound tiresome, I know…but trust me, there’s no better rule in life.Love your lover, your children, your parents, and your friends, with all of your heart. Give to them what they need, and show them not cruelty nor disapproval nor coldness nor disappointment, but only love. Open your soul to them.Love not only neighbors and strangers… but your enemy. The person who is cruelest to you, who has been unkind to you … love him. He is a tortured soul, and most in need of your love.And most of all, love yourself. While others may criticize you, learn not to be so hard on yourself, to think that you’re ugly or unworthy of love…but to think instead that you are a wonderful human being, worthy of happiness and love… and learn to love yourself for who you are.Finally, know that I love you and always will. You are starting out on a scary, but finally incredibly wonderful journey, and I will be there for you when I can.A good luck!Love, Your DadA (1)__________ to A Three-year-old Son参考答案：1.

There are, however, a few things that are best left at home. Here are a few things to forget when you’re traveling with pets. Forgetting them will make your trip run more smoothly and more effectively.TimeTraveling with pets will take longer and will have unexpected turns. In reality, forgetting about time means leaving impatience behind. Don’t be in a rush. Your pets will require more extra stops than you will, and they’ll often surprise you w ith unpredictable delays. Plan on leaving early and arriving later and you’ll be right on time.AngerGetting angry at the delay will only make matters worse. Your feelings can add unnecessary stresses to you and your pets’ travel experience. If you feel y ourself becoming out of control, stop and take a deep breath. Your pets have little control over their emotions, bowel movements, or motion sickness when traveling. Remember to be kind and understanding at all times, especially when under pressure.Work AttitudeThis may seem like a no-brainer, but when you are traveling, leave your workattitude behind. Traveling is not a task to be accomplished; it can be an enjoyable and memorable experience for both you and your pets as long as you have the right attitude.ControlPart of the joy of traveling with pets is dealing with the unexpected. You can’t control everything and trying to do so will only end in frustration and anger. Knowing that things will happen beyond your control will bring great relief to you and your pets. Messes happen; accidents happen. Once you accept that, traveling with your pets will be far easier to manage.SelfishnessTraveling with pets often requires an extreme amount of selflessness. Your pets rely on you to take care of their needs, and sometimes you will need to put their needs before your own. Leave your selfish ambitions behind when traveling with your pets. They need your attention and care more than anything else because of the stresses and strains of traveling.Traveling with pets can and will be a joy if you remember to leave these five items behind. It can be difficult at times to handle, but the traveling will go well if you can manage to do so.1. Benefit2. effective3. punctual4. delayed5. hardly6. Leave7. Handling8. difficult9. selfless 10. Conclusion(8)For the year 2011,there is one top that must be mentioned, and that’s Weibo, or micro－blogs, the Chinese version of Twitter, has become a way of life in China, especially for the young.Our train bumped into something. Our carriage has fallen onto its side. Childrenare screaming. Come to help us please! Come fast!This is the first message sent from a high－speed train that crashed on July 23rd, 2011 in China's Zhejiang province.Not only was it a cry for help, which saved tens of lives, but it also contributed to a wave of unprecedented(史无前例的) “citizen journalism” on China's micro －blogs. Within ten hours, the message was reposted over one－hundred－thousand times, which was something the girl, Xiao Yang, who wrote it had never imagined. She said，“I just wanted to survive at that moment, so I posted a message on Weibo.I didn't know it would help us to be rescued so quickly.”After the crash, China's twenty million strong micro－bloggers demonstrated tremendous(巨大的) and unfamiliar power. They joined rescue efforts, helped survivors and monitored the officials investigating the accident.As with traditional media, Weibo functions as a mirror on society, sparking debates and enlightening discussions. But what's different about the micro－blogging site is that anyone—not just journalists—can take a photo, record a video clip or write a quick note about what is happening around them.I can fully accept this new Weibo lifestyle. Almost everyone has Weibo now. I read news on Weibo and it helps me with my life. I also write or repost news sometimes.Clearly, Weibo enables millions of Chi nese to become“citizen journalists”，opening them up to fresh news and views on their community, country and world.This has led to many micro－bloggers keeping a closer eye on the authorities. In response, the government is also using Weibo as a tool to respond to citizens' queries(质询). And in Beijing, micro－bloggers have already left thousands of messages, urging the government to solve problems they consider urgent.Wang Hui, general director of Beijing Information Office, said，“Weibo has created a platform for government officials to better understand what the citizens are thinking about and what they really need. This bottom－to－top information transmission channel is innovative and will become a new trend for government officials to provide better servic es for the people.”But, however compelling(引人注目的) Weibo may be, much information it provides turns out to be rumors. Weibo, as a platform, not only helps the Chinese people express their views, but also trains the government in facing public opinion.Meanwhile, for Xiao Yang, a simple message saved her life. And for millions of others, Weibo means much more than just a simple touch on a smart phone.75. results76. monitored 77. Similarity 78. enables 79. access 80. rumors。

一、高中英语任务型阅读1．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。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month.________One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. ________ We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons (神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day.________Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right.________ The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.If Tononi's theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night's, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. ________ “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.B. It's as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.C. That's why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.D. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.E. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.F. Tononi's team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.G. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.【答案】 D；C；G；F；B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。

Have you ever wondered why there are so many skin colors in the world? Do you know why people living in particular areas usually have a certain color? Biology and history are the two reasons for this.Skin contains something called melanin, wh ich determines a person’s skin color. The more melanin a person has, the darker his or her skin will be. The amount of and the production of melanin are controlled by genetics, but can be affected by other things, such as sunlight. If a person lives in a place with less sunlight, a person’s body will produce less melanin, making the skin lighter.Skin color is also affected by another source ---- vitamin D. humans all need vitamin D to build bones. People can get it by eating foods such as fish and milk, or from sunlight, so sunlight absorbed by melanin cannot be used for vitamin D production. Therefore, a dark—skinned person will produce less vitamin D than a light—skinned person when they received the same amount of sunlight.The connection between vitamin D production and skin color is clear when we look at evolution. The earliest humans lived in Africa, their dark skin produced less vitamin D because of their dark skin. As a result, their skin made less melanin,so they could get enough sunlight to produce vitamin D. their skin gradually got lighter and they lost hair. Now, people living in areas with strong sunlight like Africa, have darker skin, while people living in other areas have lighter skin. The exception to this is the Inuit, who live in a place with little sunlight, but have dark skin because they eat a lot of fish and have enough vitamin D.Evolution has given us a rainbow of skin colors. Humans have always had melanin to determine our skin color. What has changed through history is the environment where we have lived. This has in turn changed our melanin production, and eventually, skin color.A World of Skin Color江苏高考任务型阅读解题的有效性---- 表格式：一、审题：1、审题目要求。

introduction area lie determined darkeraffecting produce while Conclusion plays实例分析：Teamwork is just as important in science as it is on the playing field or in the gym. Scientific investigations(调查) are almost always carried out by teams of people working together. Ideas are shared, experiments are designed, data are analyzed, and results are evaluated and shared with other investigators. Group work is necessary, and is usually more productive than working alone.Several times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates. Whatever the task your group is assigned, a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful experience.What comes first is to keep an open mind, because everyone’s idea s deserve consideration and each group member can make his or her own contribution. Secondly, it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members. Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths. Thirdly, always work together, take turns, and encourage each other by listening, clarifying, and trusting one another. Mutual support and trust often make a great difference.Activities like investigations are most effective when done by small groups. Here are some more suggestions for effective team performance during these activities: Make sure each group member understands and agrees to the task given to him or her, and everyone knows exactly when, why and what to do; take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities; be aware of where other group members are and what they are doing so as to ensure safety; be responsible for your own learning, though it is by no means unwise to compare your observationswith those of other group members.When there is research to be done, divide the topic into several areas, and this can explore the issue in a very detailed way. You are encouraged to keep records of the sources used by each person, which helps you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen unexpectedly. A format for exchanging information (e.g., photocopies of notes, oral discussion, etc.) is also important, for a well-chosen method not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself easily understood. When the time comes to make a decision and take a position on an issue, allow for the contributions of each member of the group. Most important of all, it is always wise to make decisions by compromise and agreement.After you’ve completed a task with your team, make an evaluation of the team’s effectiveness — the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and challenges.Effective performance needs highly cooperated (71)▲ .·Keep an open mind to everyone’s (72) ▲ .·Divide the group task among group members.·(73) ▲ and trust each other.(74) ▲ ·Understand and agree to the (75) ▲ task of one’sown.·Take turns doing various tasks.·Show conce rn for others to ensure safety.·Take (76) ▲ for one’s own learning.·Compare your own observations with those of others.·Break the (77) ▲ into several areas.·Keep records of the sources just in (78) ▲ .·(79) ▲ your information with others via properformat.·Make all decisions by compromise and agreement.
