One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David kept waling up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family ,”,” he wrote. he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’I’m very worried m very worried about him. Can I help?”I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn ’t have the answer to, and which no wards can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically. The first two times we met, David didn ’t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children ’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wedn afternoon---in complete silence and without looking at me. It ’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice. Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up befo even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me? “Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.”Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly. “It It’’s your turn,” he said. After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life. Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one---without any words---can reach out to another person. Al takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens. 36. When he first met the author, David_________. A. felt a little excited B. walked energetically C. looked a little nervous D. showed up with his teacher 37. As a psychologist, the author __________.

What can be inferred about David? A. He recovered after months of treatment. B. He liked biking before he lost his family. C. He went into university soon after starting to talk. D. He got friends in school before he met the author. 40. What made David change? A. His teacher ’s help. B. The author ’s friendship. C. His exchange of letters with the author. D. The author’s silent communication with him. D. While Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor(监控器) a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.

Suddenly, he 16 (find) that he had run out of salt. So Nick called to his son, “Go to the village and buy some salt, but pay a fair price for it: neither too much 17 too little.”His son looked surprised. “I can understand why I shouldn’t pay too much, Father, but if Ican pay less, 18 not save a bit of money?”“That would be a very 19 (reason) thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small village like ours,” Nick said.Nick’s guests, 20 had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could. Nick replied, “The only reason a man would sell salt 21 a lower price would be because he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect 22 the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.”“But such a small thing couldn’t 23 (possible) destroy a village.”“In the beginning, there was only 24 very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little, always 25 (think) that it was only small and not very important, and look where we have ended up today.”II 阅读(共两节，满分50分)AImagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear. Children know this very well. Fred Epstein, in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid. “Maybe I could go as Superman,”he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume (戏装), but finally she agreed.The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation.The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr. Epstein puts it, “If you can dream it, you can do it.”It doesn’t mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview. But, next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it. Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.26. What do we know about Tom?A. He was seriously ill.B. He was a dishonest boy.C. He was crazy about magic.D. He was Dr. Epstein’s patient.27. What can be inferred about Tom’s mother?A. She was a rich lady.B. She refused Tom’s request.C. She wanted Tom to be a superhero.D. She wanted to get Tom through the pain.28. When Tom went for the third operation, he ___________.A. pretended to be painfulB. acted like a superheroC. appeared in poor spiritsD. argued with his mother29. In the last paragraph, you are advised ____________.A. to go through some difficult testsB. to wake up from your wild dreamsC. to become a powerful person in your mindD. to wear expensive clothes for job interviews30. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell us an interesting story.B. To help us make right decisions.C. To advise us to care about children.D. To encourage us to use our imagination.BSome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, do n’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.31. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about __________.A. the reason for successB. the meaning of successC. the standards of successD. the importance of success32. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word that refers to __________.A. being good at somethingB. setting a practical goalC. putting in more timeD. succeeding in life33. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ____________.A. work makes one feel painB. one tends to enjoy his workC. one gives up his work easilyD. it takes a lot of time to succeed34. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A. Successful people like to show their great skills.B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.35. What is the main theme of the passage?A. Having a goal is vital to success.B. Being good is different from being great.C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.COne day, when I was working as a psychologist in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family,”he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can you help?”I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon——in complete silence and without looking at me. I t’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.“It’s your turn,” he said.After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one——without any words——can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.36. When he first met the author, David ______________.A. felt a little excitedB. walked energeticallyC. looked a little nervousD. showed up with his teacher37. As a psychologist, the author ______________.A. was ready to listen to DavidB. was skeptical about psychologyC. was able to describe David’s problemD. was sure of handling David’s problem38. David enjoyed being with the author because he ____________.A. wanted to ask the author for adviceB. needed to share sorrow with the authorC. liked the children’s drawings in the officeD. beat the author many times in the chess game39. What can be inferred about David?A. He recovered after months of treatment.B. He liked biking before he lost his family.C. He went into university soon after starting to talkD. He got friends in school before he met the author.40. What made David change?A. His teacher’s help.B. The author’s friendship.C. His exchange of letters with the author.D. The author’s silent communication with him.DWhile Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor (监控器) a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer’s Los Angeles apartment, the monitor in Phoenix track ed how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. Her Internet access was locked——remotely——to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past? Or was she slowing down?In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid——that students haven’t just searched the Internet to get the right answers.Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of “open online courses”. Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.Aside from the web camera, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check student s’identities using personal information, such as the telephone numbers they once used.Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.41. Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?A. To correct her typing mistakes.B. To find her secrets in the room.C. To prevent her from slowing down.D. To keep her from dishonest behaviors.42. The underlined expression cutting edge in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.A. advanced techniqueB. sharpening toolC. effective ruleD. dividing line43. For Internet universities, exams and diplomas will be valid if __________.A. they can attract potential studentsB. they can defeat academic cheatingC. they offer students online helpD. they offer many online courses44. Some programs can find out possible cheaters by ____________.A. checking the question answering speedB. producing a large number of questionsC. scan ning the Internet test questionsD. giving difficult test questions45.

2013年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（广东卷）英语1.完形填空Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a _1__ in number. Human beings are born with this ability. __2__, experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will __3__. However, if you remove two, the bird __4__ leaves. This means that the bird knows the 5 between two and three.Another interesting experiment showed a bird’s 6 number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow that had a nest in tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not 7 until the man left the tower. The man had an 8 . he hook another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they did not 9 the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was 10 with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were 11 . it was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 12 able to fool the crow.How good is a human’s number sense? It’s not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a 13 group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are ___14__ fooled.It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human 15 is not much better than a crow’s.1. A. rise B. patter C. change D. trend2. A. Importantly B. Surprisingly C. Disappointedly D. Fortunately3. A. survive B. care C. hatch D. notice4. A. generally B sincerely C. casually D. deliberately5.

He was cooking delicious food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he ___16____ (find) that he had run out of salt. So Nick called to his son, ―Go to the village and buy some salt, but pay a fair price for it: neither too much _17____ too little.‖His son looked surprised. ― I can understand why shouldn’t pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less, _18___ not save a bit of money?‖―That would be a very ___19_ (reason) thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small village like ours,‖ Nick said.Nick’s guests, 20 had heard their conversation, asked why they should not by salt more cheaply if they could. Nickreplied, ―The only reason a man would sell salt __21__ a lower price would be because he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect 22 the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.‖―But such a small thing couldn’t 23 (possible) destroy a village.‖―in the beginning, there was only 24 very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little, always 25 (think) that it was only small and not very important, and look where we have ended up today.‖阅读理解AImagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving, the things we fear. Children know this very well. Fred Epstein, in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid. ―Maybe I could go as superman,‖he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume, but finally she agreed.The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation.The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt thing se never thought possible to get through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we would just as Dr. Epstein puts it, ―If you can dream it, you can do it.‖It doesn’t mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview. But, next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it. Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.26. What do we know about Tom?A. He was seriously ill.B. he was a dishonest boy.C. he was crazy about magic.D. He was Dr. Epstein’s patient.27. What can be inferred about Tom’s mother?A. she was a rich lady.B. She refused Tom’s request.C. She wanted Tom to be a superhero.D. She wanted to get Tom through the pain.28. When Tom went for the third operation, he ____.A. pretended to be painfulB. acted like a superheroC. appeared in poor spiritsD. argued with his mother29. In the last paragraph, you are advised _______.A. to got through some difficult tests.B. to wake up from your wild dreamsC. to become a powerful person in your mindD. to wear expensive clothes for job interviews30. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell us an interesting story.B. To help us make right decisions.C. To advise us to care about children.D. To encourage us to use our imagination.BSome people think that success in only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family ,and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first need sot set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10.000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.This is a gig reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable rain and will likely make you quit well before you even become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skill or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you do no good, and there’s huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time, if you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.31.

Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a 1 in number. Human beings are born with this ability. 2 ，experiments show that many animals are, too.For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest has four eggs and you remove one,the bird will not 3 .However,if you remove two, the bird 4 leaves. This means that the bird knows the 5 between two and three.Another interesting experiment showed a bird's 6 number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦)that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not 7 until the man left the tower. The man had an 8 .He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they did not 9 the bird.The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was 10 with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were 11 .It was not until five men went into the towerand only four left that they were 12 able to fool the crow.How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a 13 group.But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are 14 fooled.It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world,and that our human 15 is not much better than a crow's.1.A. rise B. pattern C. change D. trend2.A.

We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must __1 test its pupils. The standards may be changed — no examination is 2 — but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not 3 either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean everything would depend on 4 since every pupil would depend on efficiency, the values and the purpose of each 5 .Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the 6 respected schools and from families known to them – a form of favoritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he is _7 for a job, while the lack of a certificate indicates the unsuitability of a 8 child attending a well-respected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were 9 , and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation, unable to10 for employment with the child from the 11__ school.The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an 12 force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, __13 or academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic 14 .

AA mouse happened to look through a hole in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. ―What food might this contain?‖ The mouse wondered. But he was sad to discover it was a mousetrap.Back to the farmyard, the mouse announced this warning; ―There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mouse trap in the house!‖The hen clucked (咯咯地叫) and scratched, raised her head and said, ―Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a great concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.‖Then the mouse turned to the pig. The pig sympathized, but said, ―I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.‖Then the mouse turned to the cow and repeat the same words. The cow said, ―Moo, Mr. Mouse. I’m sorry for you, but it’s no skin off my nose.‖So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and sadly faced the farmer’s mousetrap alone. That very right a sound was heard throughout the house – the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey (猎物). The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it. It was a poisonous snake whose tail was caught in the trap. The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. When she returned home, she still had a fever.Everyone knows fresh chicken soup is good to treat a fever. So the farmer took his knife to the farmyard. The hen was killed.But his wife’s sickness continued. Friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.The farmer’s wife did not get well but died. So many people came for her funeral that the farmer had the cow killed to provide enough meat for all of them for the lunch.The mouse looked upon it all from his hole in the wall with great sadness.26〃What surprised the mouse when looking through the hole?A〃The farmer and his wife. B〃A dangerous mousetrap.C〃A package with food in. D〃A poisonous snake.27〃What did the mouse do when it returned to the farmyard?A〃It had a warn talk with his friends. B〃It warned its neighbors of the danger.C〃It argued with its neighbors loudly. D〃It tried hard to cheer its neighbors.28〃Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the story?A〃The hen was sure that it needn’t be bothered by it.B〃The pig only expressed its sympathy for the mouse.C〃The farmer’s wife was bitten by the poisonous snake.D〃The farmer’s neighbors came to his home for meat.29〃What does the underlined sentence ―but it’s no skin off my nose‖ in paragraph 5 mean?A〃It is none of my business. B〃It is out of the question.C〃It doesn’t affect my smell. D〃It is not interesting at all.30〃Which of the following can best express the moral of the story?A〃Mind works faster in time of danger. B〃Never put your nose into others’ business.C〃We should pull together in time of trouble. D〃Out of sight, out of mind.BAll of us should keep a kitchen diary, showing how much food are left uneaten as garbage.We all waste food, you and me millions of tons of it. In China, enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200 million people. In the United States, 40 percent of food is wasted from farm to fork. Each year, the amount of food thrown away in rich countries is almost the same as that produced in sub – Saharan Africa. This raises some important questions.In developing countries, food is lost because farmers do not have appropriate cooling, storage or market access for their crops. Their grains, fruits and vegetables dry up and rot away. In developed countries, the picture is different, and food is wasted in supermarkets, restaurants and at home. China faces both problems, significant losses in farms, as well as at the sale and consumption stages. And the amount of food wasted by Chinese consumers is rapidly increasing.Consumer culture has filled China and urban residents can get quality food from anywhere in the country and from across the planet. Chinese consumers are as particular about their food as those in other countries. In supermarkets, they refuse to buy vegetables that don’t look fresh or have an irregular shape, or milk and other products close to their expiry (失败) date.Besides, Chinese consumers tend to be generous. In restaurants or at home, often too much food is ordered or cooked and served. So while trooping out of a restaurant, full and happy, with colleagues or friends, they never look back at what’s left untouched on the table. Should Chinese consumers take more responsibility for the waste they create?Everyone deserves to have enough food to eat. Despite China’s impressive success in reducing hunger over the past three decades, the job is not completed yet.31〃According to paragraph 1, we know that food waste is .A〃huge worldwide B〃mainly in USAC〃only in rich countries D〃just in African countries32〃In developing countries, food is lost mainly .A〃for the lack of cooling and storage B〃because of easy access to marketsC〃because of the wet weather D〃because of the quality of the food33〃The main reason for food waste in China is .A〃the effect of consumer culture B〃the convenient food supplyC〃the worry about food quality D〃people’s being particular about it34〃How do Chinese feel when they leave restaurants with much food left behind?A〃Generous. B〃Unconscious. C〃Wealthy. D〃Valuable.35〃The purpose of the passage is to tell us .A〃not to waste any food from now on B〃the necessity to improve food qualityC〃the fact of food waste in developed countriesD〃the influence of consumer culture on ChineseCWe’re so well educated – but we’re useless students who have lost the ability to do anything practical. The only thing we’ve mastered is consumption.Large numbers of students have entered higher education in the past 10 years, but despite being the most educated generation in history, it seems that we’ve grown increasingly ignorant when it comes to basic life skills.Looking back on my first couple of weeks of living in student halls, I consider myself lucky to still be alive. Unfamiliar to fresher’s, there are many hidden dangers in the dirty corners of students accommodation.I have survived a couple of serious boiling egg incidents and lots of cases of food –poisoning, probably from dirty kitchen counters. Although some of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing experimentation, I think I have now finally acquired all the domestic (居家的) skills I missed out in my modem education.In 2006 and 2010, the charming educationist Sir Ken Robinson gave two very amusing talks in which he discussed the importance of creativity in education. Robinson’s main viewpoint is that our current education system dislocates people from their natural talents. I would like to go a step further and propose that besides our talents, the system takes away what used to be passed from generation to generation – a working knowledge of basic life skills.Today’s graduates may have earned themselves honor in history, law or economies, but when it comes to simple things like putting up a shelf to hold all their academic books, or fixing a hole in their on – trend clothes, they have to cal for help from a professional handyman or tailor.Since the invention of the internet, it has never been easier for people to access information, but our highly specialized education has made us more one – sided than ever.I suggest that we start with the immediate reintroduction of some of the most vital aspects of ―domestic science‖ education, before the current lack leads to serious accidents in student halls.36〃People call us useless students for the reason that .A〃what we’ve learned is beyond consumptionB〃we are educated generationC〃we’ve entered higher educationD〃our living skills are so poor37〃Which is NOT the incidents the writer had during the first few weeks in student halls?A〃He was seriously burnt by boiled eggs.B〃He was accidentally poisoned by food.C〃He damaged his clothes while ironing.D〃He was severely beaten by freshets.38〃According to Robinson’s opinion, our current education .A〃focuses on the importance if creativityB〃dislocates people from their natural talentsC〃has equipped students with basic life skillsD〃has followed the tradition properly39〃Why are the graduates poor at basic life skills?A〃Because they are not interested in them.B〃Because they have little relevant practice.C〃Because they are affected by internet.D〃Because they are easy to be one-sided.40〃The main purpose of writing the passage is that .A〃there is no need to introduce ―domestic science‖B〃it’s time we did something to current educationC〃more attention should be paid to natural scienceD〃accidents should be prevented in student hallsDSince the beginning of the year, smog has covered parts of North China. In January, Beijing saw only five days without smog. The rising PM 2.5 readings terrified many people, and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious, hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory（呼吸系统）and heart diseases.Later, news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe.So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere.Smog especially is a common concern. Like a popular online post said, air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone, despite your income or vocation. People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic food by paying higher prices, but they breathe the same air as everyone else.At a meeting on Monday, many Representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality, too. One talked about his experience in Beijing. ―After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel, which took about an hour, I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black. We should ask ourselves this question: Why do we want to develop? It's for living a better life. Dirty air is definitely not a better life," he said.China needs to develop its economy and invest(投资) in high-tech. Every Chinese wantsa strong country. But without blue sky, clean water and safe food, the achievements in the economy will become meaningless. Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can migrate to the red planet because they have destroyed Earth.What the public wants is a strong and beautiful China. President Hu Jintao spoke at the 18th Party Congress last November saying that great efforts must be made to promote ecological progress and build a beautiful China. The words have shown the central government's resolution to address the environment issue.41〃The effect of smog doesn’t include .A〃the rising of PM 2.5 readings B〃more people suffering diseasesC〃the increase of people’s income D〃patients increased in hospital42〃Why smog has become a common concern?A〃Because people have to pay higher prices.B〃Because nobody can avoid it.C〃Because we have to develop industry.D〃Because a popular online-post discussed it.43〃To make China stronger we have to develop economy, but .A〃we have to sacrifice air as the price B〃the dirty air is not what we want C〃ecological progress can be ignored D〃the smog is the only byproduct 44〃The underlined word ―they‖ in paragraph 6 refers to .A〃human beings B〃other plantsC〃space technologies D〃industrial development45〃From the last two paragraphs we can infer that .A〃high-tech can completely solve the problem of pollutionB〃space technologies should be developed in a large scaleC〃we can move to the Mars after the earth has been destroyedD〃we must protect the environment while developing economy第二节信息匹配（共5题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
