Now it is on the lips of respected scientists; MPs（议员） are beginning to talk of"a war on sugar", and even England's chief medical officer has said sugar may have to be, like the old enemy tobacco, taxed in order to protect the nation's health.There came a time in the evolution of public attitudes to smoking, when the doctors had been shouting for long enough that the public was broadly aware of the risks and the only question left, for Government was：what should we do about it?Some believe we are now at the same point in our attitudes to sugar. Others—largely but not only representatives of the food and drink industry—say the entire debate has been skewed, （歪曲） by those who spread stories deliberately to make people nervous.More or less everyone agrees that eating too much sugar is bad for you. There is also no doubt obesity is a growing problem which is putting a significant, avoidable burden on the NHS by increasing the rates of diabetes, heart disease and other long﹣term conditions.But to what extent is sugar—rather than saturated fats, or salt, carbohydrates or proteins, or any of the other devils of modem diets—the cause of obesity and how much should we worry about it?Yesterday, hopes of achieving anything resembling clarity（清楚） from the World Health Organization （WHO） were confused once again, which, widely expected to reduce the recommended sugar intake by a half in new draft guidance, instead said it would continue to recommend that sugar make up no more than 10 per cent of the energy we consume, while adding that cutting this to five per cent would have"additional benefits". The decision will now go out to public consultation.Simon Capewell, professor of the University of Liverpool, said that he suspected"dirty work"on the part of food and drinks companies might lie behind the WHO's less than resounding message."The food industry say Government has no business interfering（介入） in families, we must protect personal choice, "Professor Capewell said. "We say there is no personal choice. At the moment, a mother can walk into a supermarket with a choice of four tomato soups—with three, or four, or five teaspoons of sugar in them. She has a choice of thousands of ready meals—with five, or six, or even nine teaspoons of sugar in. "(1) By referring to smoking the author indicates that.A. sugar has just turned out to be as harmful as smokingB. it is not easy for authorities to restrict or ban somethingC. it is easy for people to see bad effects of somethingD. people must see the disadvantages of sugar immediately(2) WHO has changed its idea mainly because.A. it thinks the danger of sugar to health is overemphasizedB. it finds it safe to take in as much sugar as people do nowC. it believes certain amount of intake of sugar does us goodD. it has been put under pressure by food and drinks companies(3) When reporting the argument about sugar，the author seems to.A. remain objectiveB. stand by those against itC. believe it harmlessD. hold the view of"wait-and-see"(4) Which of the following can be the proper title for the passage?A. Is sugar the new evil?B. How much sugar do you take daily?C. Is sugar to be taxed?D. How much do you know about sugar?19、【来源】 2014年江苏南通高三二模第53~55题6分Scientists from the University of East Anglia have identified four new man—made gases that are contributing to the damage to the ozone（臭氧） layer. Two of the gases are accumulating at a rate that is causing concern among researchers.Worries over the growing ozone hole have seen the production of chlorofluorocarbon （CFC） gases restricted since the mid 1980s. But the precise origin of these new, similar substances remains a mystery.Lying in the atmosphere, the ozone layer plays a critical role in blocking harmful UV rays, which cause cancers in humans and reproductive problems in animals.Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey were the first to discover a huge"hole"in the ozone over Antarctica in 1985. The evidence quickly pointed to CFC gases, which were invented in the 1920s, and were widely used in refrigeration. Extraordinarily, global action was rapidly agreed to deal with CFCs and the Montreal Protocol to limit these substances came into being in 1987. A total global ban on production came into force in 2010.Now, the newly discovered four new gases can destroy ozone and are getting into the atmosphere from as yet unidentified sources. Three of the gases are CFCs and one is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon （HCFC）, which can also damage ozone.The research has shown that four gases were not around in the atmosphere at all until the 1960s, which suggests they are man—made. The scientists discovered the gases by analyzing polar snow pack. Air from this snow is a natural archive of what was in the atmosphere up to 100years ago. The researchers also looked at modern air samples, collected at remote Cape Grim in Tasmania.They estimate that about 74, 000tonnes of these gases have been released into the atmosphere. Two of the gases are accumulating at significant rates. However, they don't know where the new gases are being released from and this should be investigated. Possible sources include chemicals for insecticide（杀虫剂） production and solvents（溶液） for cleaning electronic ponents. The three CFCs are being destroyed very slowly in the atmosphere—so even if emissions（散发） were to stop immediately, they will still be around for many decades to come.Of the four species identified, CFC—113a seems the most worrying as there is a very small but growing emission source somewhere, maybe from agricultural insecticides. We should find it and take it out of production.(1) What do we know about the newly discovered gases?A. Some are surely produced by the development of agriculture.B. The CFCs will have a long impact once they are released.C. They gather together in the atmosphere at a medium speed.D. Their amounts are not large enough to cause damage to us.(2) The underlined word"archive"in Paragraph 6is closest to the meaningof""A. stateB. resourceC. phenomenonD. storeroom(3) What will the scientists probably attempt to do about the gases next?A. Find out what can replace things like insecticides and put them into use.B. Find out how they destroy ozone and get rid of those in the atmosphere.C. Find out where they are exactly from and stop them from being released.D. Find out if HCFC is more harmful than CFCs and take proper measures.20、【来源】 2014年江苏南通高三二模第65~60题10分Charles Dickens was one of the most beloved storytellers in the English language. His novels made him famous in his own time, and continue as classics in ours.Dickens began his literary career with almost no formal education. He was born in Landport, on Feb. 7, 1812, the second of eight children. When he was 12, his father was sent to debtor's prison. Dickens was forced to quit school and work in a London blacking factory. He would rework that terrible experience into his fiction for the rest of his life."He was a social reformer, "says actor Simon Callow, author of a new biography called Charles Dickens and the Great Theatre of the World. "He knew what poverty was. He knew what it was to be rejected, to be cast aside, to live in squalor （悲惨）. "And so Dickens wrote with great sympathy for the suffering of innocent and vulnerable （易受攻击的） children—characters like David Copperfield, Little Dorrit and the orphan, Oliver Twist: With his slice of bread in his hand, and his little brown parish cap on his head, Oliver was now led away from the wretched home, where one kind word or look never lighted the gloom of his infant （幼儿） days.Yet he burst into an agony of childish grief as the cottage gate closed after him. Wretched as were the little companions in, misery he was now leaving behind him, they were the only friends he had ever had.His first book Sketches by Boz came out in 1836. With the appearance of Oliver Twist in London periodicals in 1837, the 25-year-old Dickens became the most popular writer in England. But his first love was theater, and he considered being an actor."When he was actually writing, he became his characters, "says Peter Ackroyd, author of Dickens: Public Life and Private Passion. "He would get up from his desk, go over to the mirror and mouth the words—do the expressions, grimaces （鬼脸）, whatever, and then laugh, chuckle to himself, then go back to his desk and write it down. "Dickens created 989 named characters, which increased his popularity. Every one of his major works has been adapted for either stage or screen. A Christmas Carol inspired more than a dozen films, from Alistair Sims'Scrooge in 1951 to Jim Carrey's voicing of the same character in Disney's 2009, 3D animated film.The original 1843 manuscript（手稿） of A Christmas Carol is on display at the Morgan Library. Dickens wrote everything by hand, in tiny script, with a quill pen. Remarkably, the manuscript is both the first and the final draft, says Kiely, the curator. You can see where Dickens has changed the name of the first chapter from "Old Marley's Ghost "to" Marley's Ghost". Further down the page, he has canceled an entire section."He realizes he's not writing a novel, and he only has a very short time in which to write this, "Kiely explains. "He's got to keep it tight, in order for it to be published in time for Christmas. "Dickens wrote all the time. He traveled with a portable inkwell and a supply of quill pens. He was working on his last novel, Our Mutual Friend, en route from France to London when the train he was on crashed.Dickens died five years later in 1870, after a stroke at age 58. As a comic talent and a social reformer, Dickens' achievement was extraordinary, says novelist T.C. Boyle, who earned a doctorate in Victorian literature."He achieved what any great artist achieves—a body of work that has entertained and delighted and instructed people down through the ages. That's what we all hope for, "says Boyle. But Dickens' greatest fiction was his own character, says Callow, the biographer: "People think of him as a cheerful man…but he was increasingly suffering from depression and a sense of hopelessness. And that's worth knowing. I think it's always good to know that great creative individuals have their struggle, their drama. "(1) What can probably be reflected in Dickens' works?A. His love for his family.B. His childhood sufferings.C. His desire for formal education.D. His reason to choose literary career.(2) The author quotes Dickens' description of Oliver Twist mainly to show.A. that Dickens was full of pity for poor childrenB. that Dickens knew well about poor childrenC. what real poverty was like in his daysD. what kind of life Oliver Twist lived(3) It can be inferred from the passage that.A. Sketches by Boz is nothing but a complete failureB. Oliver Twist made Dickens first known to the publicC. A Christmas Carol proved Dickens an efficient writerD. Our Mutual Friend came into being on a train(4) We can learn from the passage that.A. all the characters created by Dickens are popularB. people prefer films based on Dickens' novels to his worksC. Dickens was more interested in performing than in writingD. the films and plays based on Dickens' novels raise his popularity(5) What did Dickens intend to do by telling his stories?A. To amuse his readers and change society.B. To analyze the nature of society he was in.C. To make an attack on the upper class of the time.D. To get rid of his depression and sense of hopelessness.三、任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）21、【来源】 2014年江苏南通高三二模第61~70题10分Emotional Intelligence （EQ or EI） is a set of abilities or petencies that enable us to understand and manage ourselves and our emotions effectively. EQ also helps us understand and effectively relate toothers. Stress tolerance, leadership, munication, social responsibility, problem solving and creativity all require high EQ.Here are some of the major emotional intelligence competences that make up a fully integrated personality as well as a sample of a state of the art assessment that measures EQ.Emotional Expression—The ability to express your feelings and instincts（本能）. Emotional expression is a necessary part of your day.EmotionalA wareness of Others—The ability to hear, sense or intuit what other people may be feeling from their words, body language（not verbal） or other direct or indirect clues.Flexibility—The ability to bounce back, be flexible, and retain curiosity and hope in the face of adversity, change or challenge.Optimism—B eing positive and optimistic.EQ is recognized to be one of the most important predictors of personal, business and professional success. In a world of unprecedented change and challenge it is our ability to increase our EQ that will help us build the leadership, transparent munication and collaboration to lead better lives, do better business and contribute to a better world.IQ may get you the client, but your EQ skills will help you keep the client and build a growing practice. Why? B ecause, while human beings like to make their decisions m an intelligent way to purchase a product or a service, the bottom line remains that we buy services and products from those we trust and like. It is our ability to trust and like another person that makes us feel comfortable with the relationship and inspires the desire to have or to purchase something from them.It is the human ability to put instincts, emotions and thoughts into the correct position in relation to each other that gives us the competence to increase our emotional intelligence. A nd it is the human ability to use the changes and challenges we face to develop self awareness and emotional management that helps us communicate better.With appropriate education and training, Emotional Intelligence can be developed throughout our lives. Like most human competences, Emotional Intelligence is best increased in the learning and the doing, and that is why EQ focused coaching is so powerful.四、书面表达（满分25分）22、【来源】 2014年江苏南通高三二模第71题25分2017~2018学年4月江苏泰州海陵区泰州中学高二下学期月考第91题20分请你根据对下面这幅漫画的理解，以"Come back to reality"为题，用英语写一篇作文．你的作文应包括以下内容：1．简要描述漫画的内容；2．概述你对这幅图的理解；3．举例说明你会怎样做．注意：1．可参照漫画适当发挥；2．作文词数150左右；3．作文中不得提及有关考生个人身份的任何信息，如校名、人名等．Cone back to reality1 、【答案】 D;2 、【答案】 C;3 、【答案】 D;4 、【答案】 B;5 、【答案】 D;6 、【答案】 A;7 、【答案】 A;8 、【答案】 C;9 、【答案】 B;10 、【答案】 C;11 、【答案】 A;12 、【答案】 B;13 、【答案】 B;14 、【答案】 C;15 、【答案】 D;16 、【答案】 C;D;A;B;A;D;C;A;B;C;B;C;D;A;B;D;A;C;B;D;17 、【答案】 (1) D;(2) A;(3) D;18 、【答案】 (1) B;(2) C;(3) B;(4) A;19 、【答案】 (1) B;(2) D;(3) C;20 、【答案】 (1) B;(2) A;(3) C;(4) C;(5) A;21 、【答案】 1.

Now it is on the lips of respected scientists; MPs(议员) are beginning to talk of "a war on sugar", and even England's chief medical officer has said sugar may have to be, like the old enemy tobacco, taxed in order toprotect the nation's health.There came a time in the evolution of public attitudes to smoking, when the doctors had been shouting for long enough that the public was broadly aware of the risks and the only question left, for Government was: what should we do about itSome believe we are now at the same point in our attitudes to sugar. Others - largely but not only representatives of the food and drink industry - say the entire debate has been skewed,(歪曲) by those who spread stories deliberately to make people nervous.More or less everyone agrees that eating too much sugar is bad for you. There is also no doubt obesity is a growing problem which is putting a significant, avoidable burden on the NHS by increasing the rates of diabetes, heart disease and other long-term conditions.But to what extent is sugar - rather than saturated fats, or salt, carbohydrates or proteins, or any of the other devils of modem diets - the cause of obesity and how much should we worry about itYesterday, hopes of achieving anything resembling clarity（清楚）from the World Health Organization (WHO) were confused once again, which, widely expected to reduce the recommended sugar intake by a half in new draft guidance, instead said it would continue to recommend that sugar make up no more than 10 per cent of the energy we consume, while adding that cutting this to five per cent would have "additional benefits". The decision will now go out to public consultation.Simon Capewell, professor of the University of Liverpool, said that he suspected "dirty work" on the part of food and drinks companies might lie behind the WHO's less than resounding message."The food industry say Government has no business interfering（介入）in families, we must protect personal choice," Professor Capewell said. "We say there is no personal choice. At the moment, a mother can walk into a supermarket with a choice of four tomato soups - with three, or four, or five teaspoons of sugar in them. She has a choice of thousands of ready meals – with five, or six, or even nine teaspoons of sugar in."59. By referring to smoking the author indicates that______________.A. sugar has just turned out to be as harmful as smokingB. it is not easy for authorities to restrict or ban somethingC. it is easy for people to see bad effects of somethingD. people must see the disadvantages of sugar immediately60. WHO has changed its idea mainly because_________________.A. it thinks the danger of sugar to health is overemphasizedB. it finds it safe to take in as much sugar as people do nowC. it believes certain amount of intake of sugar does us goodD. it has been put under pressure by food and drinks companies61. When reporting the argument about sugar, the author seems to ___________.A. remain objectiveB. stand by those against itC. believe it harmlessD. hold the view of "wait-and-see"62. Which of the following can be the proper title for the passageA. Is sugar the new evilB. How much sugar do you take dailyC. Is sugar to be taxedD. How much do you know about sugarCScientists from the University of East Anglia have identified four new man-made gases that are contributing to the damage to the ozone(臭氧) layer. Two of the gases are accumulating at a rate that is causing concern among researchers.Worries over the growing ozone hole have seen the production of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gases restricted since the mid 1980s. But the precise origin of these new, similar substances remains a mystery.Lying in the atmosphere, the ozone layer plays a critical role in blocking harmful UV rays, which cause cancers in humans and reproductive problems in animals.Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey were the first to discover a huge "hole" in the ozone over Antarctica in 1985. The evidence quickly pointed to CFC gases, which were invented in the 1920s, and were widely used in refrigeration. Extraordinarily, global action was rapidly agreed to deal with CFCs and the Montreal Protocol to limit these substances came into being in 1987. A total global ban on production came into force in 2010.Now, the newly discovered four new gases can destroy ozone and are getting into the atmosphere from as yet unidentified sources. Three of the gases are CFCs and one is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), which can also damage ozone.The research has shown that four gases were not around in the atmosphere at all until the 1960s, which suggests they are man-made. The scientists discovered the gases by analyzing polar snow pack. Air from this snow is a natural archive of what was in the atmosphere up to 100 years ago. The researchers also looked at modern air samples, collected at remote Cape Grim in Tasmania.They estimate that about 74,000 tonnes of these gases have been released into the atmosphere. Two of the gases are accumulating at significant rates. However, they don't know where the new gases are being released from and this should be investigated. Possible sources include chemicals for insecticide（杀虫剂）production and solvents（溶液）for cleaning electronic ponents. The three CFCs are being destroyed very slowly in the atmosphere - so even if emissions（散发）were to stop immediately, they will still be around for many decades to come.Of the four species identified, CFC-113a seems the most worrying as there is a very small but growing emission source somewhere, maybe from agricultural insecticides. We should find it and take it out of production.63. What do we know about the newly discovered gasesA. Some are surely produced by the development of agriculture.B. The CFCs will have a long impact once they are released.C. They gather together in the atmosphere at a medium speed.D. Their amounts are not large enough to cause damage to us.64. The underlined word "archive" in Paragraph 6 is closest to the meaning of"____ "A. stateB. resourceC. phenomenonD. storeroom65. What will the scientists probably attempt to do about the gases nextA. Find out what can replace things like insecticides and put them into use.B. Find out how they destroy ozone and get rid of those in the atmosphere.C. Find out where they are exactly from and stop them from being released.D. Find out if HCFC is more harmful than CFCs and take proper measures.DCharles Dickens was one of the most beloved storytellers in the English language. His novels made him famous in his own time, and continue as classics in ours.Dickens began his literary career with almost no formal education. He was born in Landport, on Feb. 7, 1812, the second of eight children. When he was 12, his father was sent to debtor's prison. Dickens was forced to quit school and work in a London blacking factory. He would rework that terrible experience into his fiction for the rest of his life."He was a social reformer," says actor Simon Callow, author of a new biography called Charles Dickens and the Great Theatre of the World. "He knew what poverty was. He knew what it was to be rejected, to be cast aside, to live in squalor (悲惨)."And so Dickens wrote with great sympathy for the suffering of innocent and vulnerable (易受攻击的) children - characters like David Copperfield, Little Dorrit and the orphan, Oliver Twist: With his slice of bread in his hand, and his little brown parish cap on his head, Oliver was now led away from the wretched home, where one kind word or look never lighted the gloom of his infant (幼儿) days.Yet he burst into an agony of childish grief as the cottage gate closed after him. Wretched as were the little panions in，misery he was now leaving behind him, they were the only friends he had ever had.His first book Sketches by Boz came out in 1836. With the appearance of Oliver Twist in London periodicals in 1837, the 25-year-old Dickens became the most popular writer in England. But his first love was theater, and he considered being an actor."When he was actually writing, he became his characters," says Peter Ackroyd, author of Dickens: Public Life and Private Passion. "He would get up from his desk, go over to the mirror and mouth the words - do the expressions, grimaces (嵬脸), whatever, and then laugh, chuckle to himself, then go back to his desk and write it down."Dickens created 989 named characters, which increased his popularity. Every one of his major works has been adapted for either stage or screen. A Christmas Carol inspired more than a dozen films, from Alistair Sims' Scrooge in 1951 to Jim Carrey's voicing of the same character in Disney's 2009, 3-D animated film.The original 1843 manuscript（手稿）of A Christmas Carolis on display at the Morgan Library. Dickens wrote everything by hand, in tiny script, with a quill pen. Remarkably, the manuscript is both the first and the final draft, says Kiely, the curator. You can see where Dickens has changed the name of the first chapter from "Old Marley's Ghost" to "Marley's Ghost". Further down the page, he has canceled an entire section."He realizes he's not writing a novel, and he only has a very short time in which to write this," Kiely explains. "He's got to keep it tight, in order for it to be published in time for Christmas."Dickens wrote all the time. He traveled with a portable inkwell and a supply of quill pens. He was working on his last novel, Our Mutual Friend, en route from France to London when the train he was on crashed.Dickens died five years later in 1870, after a stroke at age 58. As a ic talent and a social reformer, Dickens' achievement was extraordinary, says novelist . Boyle, who eamed a doctorate in Victorian literature."He achieved what any great artist achieves - a body of work that has entertained and delighted and instructed people down through the ages. That's what we all hope for," says Boyle. But Dickens' greatest fiction was his own character, says Callow, the biographer: "People think of him as a cheerful man ... but he was increasingly suffering from depression and a sense of hopelessness. And that's worth knowing. I think it's always good to know that great creative individuals have their struggle, their drama."66. What can probably be reflected in Dickens' worksA. His love for his family.B. His childhood sufferings.C. His desire for formal education.D. His reason to choose literary career.67. The author quotes Dickens' description of Oliver Twist mainly to show ______.A. that Dickens was full of pity for poor childrenB. that Dickens knew well about poor childrenC. what real poverty was like in his daysD. what kind of life Oliver Twist lived68. It can be inferred from the passage that _________A. Sketches by Boz is nothing but a plete failureB. Oliver Twist made Dickens first known to the publicC. A Christrwas Caro l proved Dickens an efficient writerD. Our Mutual Friend came into being on a train69. We can learn from the passage that _______A. all the characters created by Dickens are popularB. people prefer films based on Dickens' novels to his worksC. Dickens were more interested in performing than in writingD. the films and plays based on Dickens' novels raise his popularity70. What did Dickens intend to do by telling his storiesA. To amuse his readers and change society.B. To analyze the nature of society he was m.C. To make an attack on the upper class of the time.D. To get rid of his depression and sense of hopelessness.【考点】学校生活类-记叙文【文章大意】本文是夹叙夹议的文章，讲述的是一个小男孩上数学课总是讲话，别的老师认为他是一个有问题的老师，但是Anna不这样认为，她组织了竞赛，证明了自己的想法，挖掘了小男孩在数学上的潜能。

She was 31 1316 passengers and a crew(ჽਬ) of 891. At that time, however, she was not only the largest ship that had ever been built, but was considered to be unsinkable, 32 she had 16 watertight compartments(ᆚᇕჵ). Even if two of these were flooded, she would still be able to float. The sad sinking of this great ship will always be remembered, for she went down on her first voyage with a 33 loss of life.Four days after setting out, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy waters of the NorthAtlantic, a huge iceberg was suddenly 34 . After the alarm had been given, the great shipturned sharply to 35 a direct hit. The Titanic turned just in time, narrowly missing the big wall of ice which rose over 100 feet out of the water beside her. Suddenly there was a sound from below, and the captain went down to see 36 had happened. The noise had been so weak that 37 thought the ship had been damaged. Below, the captain realized, to his 38 , that the Titanic was 39 rapidly, for five of the sixteen watertight compartments had already been flooded! The order to abandon the ship was given 40 hundreds of people jumped into the icy water. As there were not enough lifeboats for everybody, 1,500 people died.31.

The yellow school bus is a US icon(ᬥᕕ). Yellow became the color of school buses in the USA in 1939. Dr. Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in early morning or late afternoon. That would make children safer.There are not many school buses in Britain, and they are not yellow. They have trackers(Უᳮ఼) on them, so kids are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus. The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and whether their kids are on the bus.Kindergarten is a difficult time for some kids. It’s the first time for them to go away from theirᆵ᪱᪙ोৰ6)݅10)parents. To make kids love their school, Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses. The buses can easily make children want to take them — and then, go to school. Even some parents want to take them, too!School buses are becoming more and more popular in China now. It saves a lot of time for students to take a school bus. It’s said that there will be 3,000 yellow school buses on the road by the end of this year in Chongqing.44.

When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell phones. They want to log on to their micro blogs to check the funny things that have happened in the last hour. Since last year, the trend of micro-blogging has swept the country. Recent surveys show that most students in middle schools have a micro blog, and some even update their blogs over five times per day.“We learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become popular topics in class,” said Liang Jianmin, 14, a student at Harbin No 3 Middle School. “If you do not know about them, you are out of the loop.” It is also a great place for students to let out stress. “My parents always ask me to study hard, and encourage me before exams, but actually it adds pressure,” said Zhang Yazhe, 15, a student in Luohu Foreign Languages School. “When I share these feelings on my micro blog, I get many replies from friends in the same situation, which makes me feel better.” But parents are worried that micro-blogging could be a waste of time. “Some misleading messages may even cause danger to kids.” they said.Shen Mingde, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging. Instead, it can become a window for parents to understand their children.“If parents can read their children’s micro blogs, they’ll know their thoughts, thus leading to better communication and solutions to problems,” he said. He also gives some Micro bloggingtips for kids:ᆵ᪱᪙ोৰ7)݅10)ƾ1. Don’t micro blog for more than one hour a day.ƾ2. Never micro blog in class.ƾ3.

By using your time properly, you can do your homework more quickly. Learning to study is not difficult.The first thing to remember is that you must be willing to learn. It doesn’t mean that you must always like the subject. It does mean, however, that you must be willing to do whatever is necessary to learn.

江苏省南通市2014届高三第一次模拟考试英语2
江苏省南通市2014届高三第一次模拟考试英语2高考英语2014-03-20 1913()Schieman said conflicts with co-workers or involvement of work into home life may destroy at physical and mental well-being by creating stress.“These are key stressors that can tax individuals’ abilit y to function effectively,” Schieman said.56.

From the passage we can infer that the study aims to _________.A. warn people not to be a boss for everB. remind the boss to deal with the bad effects of their workC. show that having authority is harmful to one’s healthD. prove that being a boss can benefit a lot59. The best title for this passage might be ________.A. Lower-status can affect healthB. Authority can affect healthC. Positive aspects of a power positionD. Disadvantages of being a bossBThe following passage is a healthy prescription (处方) of how we can approach life. It is not about being famous or being wealthy or about our good looks. Truly, it is all about love. There are times when we feel as if we are separated from the rest. This feeling creates a mental prison. Therefore, we should try to work hardto internally (内在地) liberate ourselves by widening our circle of pity to accept all living things.“Open your heart to others and try to understand,When someone reaches for you, hold out to them your hand,Follow your heart, no matter what other people say,Do things that make you able to smile throughout your day,Treat other people, the way you would like them to treat you,Do what you know is right and to your heart and self stay true,Remember what life is all about, it is how you make people feel, What you do, where you go, and making dreams become real,Helping people through, in hard times of pain and strife,What you do for others, is what is important in this life.Look deeper and don’t judge people by what is on the outside,It is what is inside that counts and what people often hide,Care, help, love, be honest, and be kind,With purity and goodness within yourself, it is happiness youwill find.Do all you can in the time you have, you won’t always be around,Recapture the joy of little things, that once were easily found,And if you can do all this and live a life of love,You will be helped through life, by all those up above.”I will leave you with the inspiring words of our late genius, Albert Einstein“There are two ways to live life. One is as though nothing is a miracle (奇迹). The other is as though everything is a miracle.”60. The passage is mainly about ______.A. living a life of loveB. helping those in needC. taking back the joy of lifeD. separating ourselvesfrom others61. According to the passage, which statement is true?A. Treating others the way others treat you is right for your life.B. Making your dream become real is selfish in your life.C.

Different ways of life lead to completely different resultsB. Life is not always full of miraclesC. There are two kinds of miracles in lifeD. Looking for miracles in life helps people find happinessCShaping the Future of TVNobody can predict the future of TV with any certainty but some major figures in the industry have recently put forward their thoughts on what will shape TV of the future.The shaping of a personalized television future is starting to take place, says Intel. The chip giant, who makes the processors found in most personal computers, states that by 2015 there will be just over 12 million devices using IPTV services that will be capable of connecting to over 500 billion hours of TV & video.This supports the idea to make television a more social, personalized and readily accessible device available anywhere through IPTV services. As more and more people consume TV & video through various mediums, there is now a greater need to distribute and manage this content.As such, companies like TV Genius are accepting this announcement made at Intel’s Developer Forum (IDF) in the USA by their chief technology officer, Justin Rattner.With such a variety of content likely to become available, technology firms will need to assist in making personalized TV recommendations more readily accessible.Mr. Rattner, speaking to the BBC said, “TV will remain at the centre of our lives and you will be able to watch what you want and where you want. We are talking about more than one TV-capable device for every man and woman on the planet. People are going to feel connected to the screen in ways they haven’t in the past.”One way in which this will happen will also be assisted by a more united service of material combining including video content,internet content, broadcast content, and personal content.This content will become much more accessible through remote devices like mobile phones using IPTV technology. This means that users willbe able to watch their favorite programs away from the traditional media hub, the home.63. The author uses the passage mainly to ________.A. recommend a new type of TV[来源学科网ZXXK]B. introduce a possible shape of future TVC. describe the function of future TVD. support the new type of TV64. We know from the passage that the future TV might have major features like _______.a. being capable of connecting to many more hoursb. changing the shape very easilyc. receiving programs at any placed. displaying the advanced materialse. using services accessing the Internet, video, radio, etcA. a, b, cB. c, d, eC. a, c, eD. b, c, e65. The underlined word “this” in the third paragraph refers to __________.A. Intel, the chip giantB. TV and videoC. readily accessible deviceD. Widely used IPTV services[来源学|科|网]66. We can infer from the passage that _________.A. the present TV will disappear in the near futureB. the future TV will have a beautiful lookC. people are developing the technology of TV very quicklyD. people will spend more time watching TV at homeDIt had been a long time since I had been to Jacksonville, Florida. I had driven to tow n hoping to see the old barber shop where my hair had been cut as a child.I parked my truck and decided to try and locate a telephone to see if the Florida Barber College had moved to a new location.After walking about a block I saw an open shoe store. I walked inside and asked if I could use their telephone book. Unable to find alisting for the Barber College, I picked out the number of a local beauty salon, hoping they might tell me if the barber college wasstill in business. The number was busy, so I decided to wait and try again in a few minutes.As the salesman and I stood talking the front door opened and a young man about twenty came into the store pushing himself in a wheelchair. “I need a new pair of shoes,” said the customer. As he turned the corner, there was a blanket across his lap. I was shocked to see that the young man had no legs.“A gift for a friend?” I asked the boy.“No,” he replied. They are for me,” he continued, with a smile on his face. I just smiled back and watched to see what would happen next.“What type of shoe would you like?” asked the clerk.“How about a pair of cowboy boots?” The man pointed to the back wall where three or four pairs of boots were displayed. The salesman, sharply turning, headed off to the backroom.“Isn’t this fun?” t he boy asked me. I moved my hand to let him know that I did not understand his question. “When I was a kid, my parents used to buy me a new pair of shoes every year. That was such a wonderful feeling. Something I have never forgotten. The smell of the leather and the pride I felt when I walked around the store showing off my new shoes.”The salesman came walking down the aisle with a large box. He sat it down on the floor, took out one boot and handed it to the young man. The boy closed his eyes. He placed the boot against his nose, and drew in a large breath. I did not know what to say as tears began to fall on the young man’s cheeks.“What type of accident did you have?” I asked him.“Farm accident,” he said, as he tried to clear his voice.“Do you want the cowboy boots?” the salesman asked him.“Oh, yes!” he answered.“I see buying a new pair of shoes still gives you that good feeling you talked about,” I told the young man, as I smiled.“Yes it does.” he said “And I may have someone, and his feet to sha re it with some day.”67. Why did the young man want to buy a new pair of shoes?A. Because he bought a pair every year.B. Because he wanted to send a new pair to a friend.C. Because he hoped to keep it for memory.D. Because he enjoyed the feeling of possessing a new pair.68. The author writes about the barber shop at the beginning of the article in order to _______.A. introduce the background of the storyB. see if the Barber College had moved to a new locationC. find a listing for the Barber CollegeD. pick out a local beauty salon69.

Our class has a break from 11:00 t o 1:00 every day. Isn’t that too long for lunch? I’m used to having only half an hour break during school in America.M: Good question, Mary.

江苏省南通市2014届高三第二次调研测试—英语2
江苏省南通市2014届高三第二次调研测试—英语2高考英语2014-05-2014 1641Philip Howard,When my friend and I (two ladies of a certain age) go out to have a meal, she always leaves an extremely large tip. At times, the tipwill equal the amount of one of the main dishes—sometimes it comes to about 30 per cent of the bill. I feel 15—20 per cent is adequate for services offered and depending on the type of restaurant. At a cafe I would like to leave 15 per cent or a bit more depending on the service and etc. A larger tip would be appropriate if we are in a big city or a nicer place. My friend says “Well, I am sure they are not driving a Mercedes (奔驰汽车).” Well, neither am I, and how does she know? Who is correct and how can I make changes? I might add I do truly feel tipping should be based on good service, and also if you frequent a place and know the staff a larger tip is OK. I would never hesitate to tip a waitperson.I always leave to the higher side.Yours,Barbara BadeBarbara Bade,Americans are more generous tippers than the British. I suspect that 2014 per cent for a tip is about normal in the UK. Tipping is a strange survival in our age of supposed equality and minimum wages. Your friend has a generous nature and deep purse. I do not see why you cannot let her tip whatever she wants, and do your own thing. I agree that a tip should be a reward for good service and general good feeling. If the service is rotten and the meal a disaster, we should withhold a tip and explain why we are doing so. Few of us have the chutzpah (厚颜) to do this. Sensible restaurants have a box for tips, so that they are shared out among the staff, including those in the kitchens whom we do not see. (I trust that the management does not receive the money as extra profit.) I look forward to the day when waiters and other servants are paid a good enough living wage, sothat they do not have to depend on the generosity of strangers to survive. To wait at table is just as honorable a way to earn a livingin this wicked world. If you are pleased with the meal and cheerful service, you should tip as handsomely as your purse affords. I don’t suppose that your waiter / waitress is driving a Mercedes, even in the States.Yours,Philip Howard60. We can learn from the first letter that Barbara prefers___________.A. changing her own ideas on how to tip waitersB. leaving a bigger tip to the familiar waitpersonsC. eating at a café rather than in a nice restaurantD. saving as much money as possible for herself61. It can be inferred that Barbara’s friend tips waiters heavily________.A. to show that she is well offB. because they are thought to be poorly paidC. to show that she is generousD. because they have offered her full service62. Besides quality of service, Philip regards __________ as principles of tipping.A. taste of food and amount of one’s moneyB. taste of food and the number of servantsC. generosity of strangers and the number of servantsD. amou nt of one’s money and generosity of strangersCIn tough economic times, school counselors (顾问) don’t just waitfor students to come to their offices in search of college brochures,health pamphlets or other help. These days, they are looking for at-risk kids to prevent personal or academic troubles before they arise. Nowadays, students and families need the guidance more than ever.Counselors play a steadying role in schools as the economy weighs on families, college admission becomes even more competitive, immigration continues to reshape the population and state-testing pressures many students. They use computers to search through attendance data, grades and standardized test scores for kids who might need extra help.Schlatter, director of guidance and counseling at Prince William County’s Woodbridge Senior High School, has checked attendance records against grades and test results to start peer groups (同年龄群体) for students who are failing classes but not skipping them. She said group counseling is another way to reach more students though it can be dif ficult. “Kids really do start helping and sharing with each other.”At Fairfax High School, counselors found through surveys that students who transferred (转学) to the school after ninth grade enjoyed school significantly less than those who had been there all four years. The counseling staff set up a special program and group for new arrivals in response, said Marcy Miller, the school’s director of student services. Counseling staff members also have started small study groups for students to prepare for state Standards of Learning exams, which Miller said have helped raise test scores. She said that some of the newest counselors have had some of the freshest ideas.63. We can learn from the passage that __________.A. counselors don’t wait for kids to come to ask for help nowB. counselors are trying to help people with economic problemsC. counselors have made college admission less competitiveD. counselors are trying to reach more kids in need of help64. The author uses the example of Fairfax High School to show that ________.A. counseling work is obviously effectiveB. many students transfer there for helpC. new arrivals will no longer skip classesD. counseling means little to new arrivals65. What would the author most probably discuss in the following part?A. What assistance they can offer.B. The significance of their counseling job.C. Other approaches to counseling at-risk kids.D. The barriers of counseling the students with troubles.66. Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?A. Guiding Hands Find New WaysB. Small Study Groups Raise Test ScoresC. Transferred Students Need More HelpD. Tough Times See More At-risk KidsDBen walked quietly. He wanted to surprise the hunter. But then, what would he do?Suddenly he heard a bird’s wings beating the dry grass. Ben moved quickly toward the sound.He saw a colored head ... the head of a beautiful bird. The bird did not move until Ben came close. Then it tried to fly away, but onewing was broken.Ben lifted the bird and held it close against his body. The bird fought to escape, but soon lay quietly in Ben’s arms.Ben decided to take the bird home and fix its broken wings so that it could fly again.He was almost out of the woods when he heard the hunter behind him.“You just found that bird?” the hunter asked.“Yes,” Ben answered.“It is mine!”Ben was afraid and tried to answer, but his mouth was too dry to speak. Nevertheless, he wetted his lips and said, “No.”“I shot him and I say he is mine!”“But he is not dead yet,” Ben answered, “and besides, anything on my land belongs to me.”The hunter looked down at the little man and smiled. “Say, who are you?”Ben’s voice shook with both fear and anger. “I own this land. There are signs everywhere that say, ‘No hunting’.”“No need to get angry, mister,” the hunter said. “Control yourself.”There was something threatening in the man’s cool quiet voice. And he had a gun. His arms were free and Ben’s were not.The hunter stepped closer and said, “Give me that bird!”Ben was white with anger. “No!” he answered. His eye glasses became wet and he had to look over the top of them to see the other man.“Give me the bird and I will go away,” the hunter said.“You get off my land,” Ben told him. “Get off right now...you do not belong here!”The man’s face got red. “Mister,” he said, “I have been hunting here all my life. I grew up here.”“That is a thing of the past,” Ben said. “I do not know who you are and I do not care. I own this place now and I am telling you to leave. You go back through the woods and get off my land!”“Now look, mister,” the hunter said, “be reasonable.”The hunter raised his gun.A cold wind blew across Ben’s face. He looked into the hunter’s gray eyes. Ben was frightened. It was not too late, he thought. He could still give the bird to the hunter and return safely home...that would end this whole ugly business.The bird struggled weakly and made a wild, strange noise.Then Ben knew he could never give this bird to the hunter. This feeling gave Ben great strength, and he was no longer afraid.“I will never let you kill this bird,” he said. “Get away from here. If you try to take this bird, I will fight...you have a gun and you are bigger, but that does not worry me. You will never get this bird...you will have to kill me first.”The two men looked at each other. Ben’s fear returned. His knees began to shake and he felt sick. Yet he stood straight, wondering what would happen next.They stood close to each other for a long time. The woods were strangely quiet. Then the hunter’s rough voice broke the silence.“You are a fool.” And then to Ben’s surprise, he slowly walked away.Ben watched until he was gone. His arms hurt, his body felt wet and cold.67. Why did the hunter smile when saying “Say, who are you”?A. He wanted to confirm Ben’s identity in a friendly way.B. He was amused at Ben’s reply and interested in him.C. He looked down on Ben and thought his reply ridiculous.D. He meant to be friendly enough to get the bird from Ben.68. Wha t strengthened Ben’s determination never to give the bird to the hunter?A. His strong dislike of the hunter.B. His firm confidence in himself.C. His ownership of this piece of land.D. His concern and sympathy for the bird.69. Why did the hunter remark that Ben was a fool at the end of the story?A. Ben tried to protect a bird at all costs.B. Ben pretended to be fearless although scared.C. Ben stood close to him saying nothing for long.D. Ben insisted on him leaving the land.70. Which of the followi ng best describes Ben’s state of mind in the incident?A. Ben was willing to compromise.B. Ben never thought of giving in.C. Ben held out to the end.D. Ben was sure about his victory.第Ⅱ卷（非选择题两部分共35分）第四部分任务型阅读（共2014小题；每小题1分，满分2014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最恰当的单词。
