It was 10 p.m.—two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. ―You’ll have to put it back, son,‖ he said.―Dad!‖ cried the boy. ―There will be other fish,‖ said his father. ―Not as big as this one,‖ cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water. The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish ... again and again ... every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.56. From the text we know that the father _________.A. didn’t love his sonB. always disagreed with his sonC. disliked the huge fishD. was firm and stubborn57. The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because _____.A. they might catch a big fish thereB. it was a most popular fishing spotC. he was taught a moral lesson thereD. their children enjoyed fishing there58. What does the story imply (suggest）?A. It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.B. An ethical decision is always easy to make.C. It’s hard to tell right from wrong sometimes.D. Fishing can help one to make right decisions.BLooking for Teens Interested in Child CareThis is a chance for teens to accompany a child through projects and activities, play with them indoors and outdoors, help with arts and crafts, deliver flyers to homes in the neighborhood，and so on.When: We welcome teen volunteers whenever they are available.How often: Our volunteers determine the amount of time they give and their schedule.Where: Wilder Child Development Center, 911 Lafond Ave. St. PaulLibrary Intern （实习生）Part-time, Temporary$12.48一$13 .87 /per hourProgram: Wilder ResearchResponsibilities: Help with moving to new buildings, record reports and other documents using a specialized library database, get items from area libraries, help library users, help with literature searches, other everyday library chores, and so on.Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree with some library experience or a current Master of Library and Information Science student.

They were examined at the start of the study and again one year later. If kids’ mothers expected them to take more risks and be more rebellious，higher chances of risky behavior were seen. This was also true when kids had bad expectations of themselves.―Sometimes parents expect more negative behavior from their children than they should based on the children’s history of behavior, ‖ Buchanan said.―Parents shouldn’t be naive (无知的) about the possibility of bad behavior,‖ she said，―but it’s also a mista ke to think that children who are well-behaved will naturally become rebellious at the age of 13. ‖―By thinking risktaking or rebelliousness is normal for teenagers and showing that to their children，parents might add to other messages from society that make teenagers feel that they are strange if they are not willing to take risks or break laws,‖ she said.―This can mean，for example，that when parents expect teens to drink before they turn 21 or to do other risky behaviors，kids are less likely to refuse to do so later in their lives.‖On the other hand，parents’ expectations that teens can exhibit good behaviors and refuse to behave badly or to take risks could help reduce the possibility of bad behavior，Buchanan said.―Asa parent，you should put expectations on your children carefully.‖63.What do we know about the study?A.Only mothers were examined.B.Participants were examined twice.C.250 people were examined in the study.D.Christy Buchanan was the only author of the study.64.What does the underlin ed part ―This was also true‖ in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.The kids were more likely to take dangerous behavior.B.The kids would have bad expectations of their parents.C.The kids were likely to go against their mothers.D.Mothers expected their kids to behave badly.65.Children may be more rebellious if________.A.they know parents think risk-taking is normalB.parents put little expectation on themC.they behave well before they turn 13D.they are asked not to take risks66.What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A.Risk-taking is normal for teens.B.Why are my teens behaving badly?C.Don’t expect too much from your teens.D.Bad expectations lead to bad-behaving teens.DAmong various programs, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television．And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style（风格）．But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows．Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of ―rubbish talk‖．The contents on his show are as surprising as can be．For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level．Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives．Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top．But Oprah goes in the opposite direction．The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality（质量）of life．Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors．Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society．Jerry ends every show with a ―final word‖．He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show．Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable．Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone．The show’s main viewers are middleclass Americans．Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tough problems．Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society．These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug．They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show’s exploitation．pared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are __．A. more interesting．B. unusually popular．C. more detailed．D. more formal．68.Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows____．A.remain interested in them．B.are ready to face up to them．C.remain cold to them．D. are willing to get away from them．69. Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A.A new type of robot．B.Nation hatred（憎恨）．C.Family income planning．D.Street accident．70. We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_____．A.have become the only ones of its kind．B.exploit the weaknesses in human nature．C.appear at different times of the day．D.attract different people．第三节任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Of the hundreds of self-change techniques that have been suggested over the centuries, perhaps only a dozen are totally different. Researchers have tried to see which ones work best. Three techniques deserve special mention: they’re powerful, simple and easy to learn. what’s more, individuals who have made successful changes in their lives—changes in eating habits, career paths, coping strategies, and so on—often rely on one or more of the three techniques.To get yourself started in a new direction, try the Three M’s:Modify(改变)your environmentThe power of modifying one’s space has been well displayed in studies since it was reported in the 1960s for the first time. Psychologist Richard Stuart showed in the 1960s that overweight women could lose pounds by mo difying both their eating behavior and ―stimulus environment‖ —for example, eating from smaller plates and confining all food to the kitchen. People who have never tried this are astonished by the enormous effect it often has. I’ve known several people wh o have overcome nail-biting simply by buying 50 nail files and distributing them everywhere: in their pockets, their desks and their bedrooms. With a nail file always within reach, they tended to groom rather than bite. To change yourself, change your world.Monitor your behaviorI’ve been reading research studies on self-monitoring for 20 years, and I’ve conducted some myself. The fact is, if you monitor what you do, you’ll probably do better.Weigh yourself regularlyand you may well start to lose weight. Keep a record of what you eat and you’ll probably start eating more wisely. A study by Canadian researchers showed that teenagers arrived more promptly at a swim practice when they were given an attendance sheet to record their arrival times. Sonya Carr and Rebecca Punzo reported that self-monitoring improves academic performance of emotionally disturbed children in reading, mathematics and spelling. Dozens of studies have similar results, all inspired by heightening our awareness of our behavior.Make commitmentsWhen you commit yourself to another person, you establish a possibility of reinforcement (后效强化)；you’ve automatically arranged for a reward if you stick to it and a punishment if you don’t. It puts some pressure on you, and that’s often just what yo u need. For instance, if you want to exercise more, arrange to do it with a friend. If you don’t show up, your friend will get angry, and that may be just the ticket to keeping you punctual (准时的). In 1994 Dana Putnam and other researchers showed that patients who made written commitments were far more likely to take prescribed medicine than patients who hadn’t There’s good news here for all of us. We can meet many of the demands and overcome many of the challenges of life with simple skills that anyone can master and that don’t requirewillpower-in other words, with skill, not will.单项：Keys: 21 – 25 BCADD 26 – 30 CABCA 31 – 35 AACCA完型：Keys: 36 –40BCACD 41–45 ACBBD 46–50ADCBA 51– 55CBDAD阅读：56 – 58 DCA 59 – 62 DDCB 63 – 66 BAAD 67 – 70 BACD任务型读写：81.similar 82. successful 83. environment 84. benefit 85. within86.

My marriage was in trouble, I was pregnant (怀孕的) and not particularly well and I didn’t have much money. Looking back I think I was also a bit depressed, but I had to get on with taking care of my daughter the best I could.One day I thought I would take my daughter to the park for a nice day as she liked there, and I thought it was a nice thing to do. I decided to walk because the bus was expensive, so it took us a long time to get there. When we finally got there, immediately my daughter began to cry. She was cold, she was thirsty, and she wanted to go home. To be honest, I had not prepared properly. I didn’t even have any money to buy a drink or to take the bus back home. I was so frustrated and cross with myself that my dream of a nice day failed. I started walking back home (it was nearly 2 miles), and my daughter would not stop crying. I felt so miserable and cross with(生…的气)myself and my life that I started crying too.At that point a car stopped and a gentleman offered us a lift. He took us home, and seemed really concerned-he even offered me all his change! The kindness of this stranger to a stranger like me really made me feel better. I never saw him again and I don‘t know who he is but he really helped me out that day, so I just want to say thank you.21．The writer writes the passage in order to________.A．tell us how she got through her difficult timeB．tell us what kind of life she and her daughter once livedC．tell us a journey she and her daughter had without moneyD．express her sincere thanks for the driver who once helped her22．Why did the writer go through a difficult time when her daughter was about 2 years old? A．Because her daughter was too young and noisy and she didn’t know how to care for her. B．Because she loved her daughter too much and took care of her as best as she could. C．Because she was worried about her own health.D．Because there is something wrong with her marriage, health and money.23．What finally caused the writer to cry?A．Her own poor situation.B．Her feeling sorry to her daughter.C．The lack of money.D．The failure of her dream of a nice day.24．According to the passage, we can infer that________.A．the writer could afford a bus ticket at that timeB．the writer will never forget the kindness given by the driverC．the writer received the driver’s change and bought drinks for her daughterD．the driver knew the writer and her daughterB篇There are stories about two U.S. presidents，Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren，which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don’t know if either story is true，but they are both interesting. The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact，he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper. he would write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didn’t know how to spell. So what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while，he shortened that term to “OK”.The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born，Kinderhook，New York. Van Bnren’s friends organized a club to help him become President They caned the clubthe Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”.25.The author __________.A. believes both of the storiesB. doesn’t believe a word of the storiesC is not sure whether the stories are trueD. is telling the stories just for fun26. According to the passage，President Jackson_________A. couldn’t draw up any documents at allB. didn’t like to read important papers by himselfC. often had his assistants sign documents for himD .wasn’t good at reading，writing or spelling27.According to the first story, the term “OK”___________A. was approved of by President JacksonB. was the title of some Official documentsC. was first used by President JacksonD. was an old way to spell “all correct’’28. According to the second story，the term ‘‘OK”____________A. was the short way to say ‘‘old Kinderhook Club”B. meant the place where President Van Buren was bornC. was the name of Van Buren’s clubD. was used to call Van Buren ’s supporters in the election三、短文改错（每小题2分，满分20分）Christine was just a girl in one of my classes.

AThe easy way out isn't always the easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Doug loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough (面团) covered with ugly yellowish marks . Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work. I went on preparing the rest of the meal and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母) made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing . I had to admit what the "living thing" was and why it was there. I don't know who was more embarrassed by the whole thing—Doug or me.21. The writer's purpose in writing this story is ________.A. to show the easiest way out of a difficultyB. to describe the trouble facing a newly married womanC. to tell an interesting experienceD. to explain the difficulty of learning to cook from books22. Why did the woman's attempt at making the bread turn out to be unsuccessful?A. The canned orange had gone bad.B. She did not follow the directions closely.C. The cookbook was hard to understand.D. She didn't use the right kind of flour.23. What made the dough in the bin look frightening?A. The rising and falling movement.B. The strange-looking marks.C. Its shape.D. Its size.24. When Doug went out the third time, the woman looked out of the window because she was .A. surprised at his being interested in the bin.B. curious to know what disturbed himC. unhappy that he didn't enjoy the mealD. afraid that he would discover her secretBEverybody in this world is different from one another. But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it's not easy to change later in life.Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is part of our value system and it has a great effect on the way we look after our money.According to our different values, experts put us in three kinds. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail.The ant-works firstJust like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don't care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest(投资) in some funds and stocks with low risk.The cricket-fun firstThe cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.The snail-lives under pressureThe snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans(贷款) from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury(奢华的) houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure whether they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.25.People with the character of the snail would like to __________.A. enjoy life at the moment without thinking much about the futureB. live a luxury life at all costsC. put work before everything elseD. take the risk of investing a large sum of money26.Our beliefs and values are affected by the following except __________.A. societyB. moneyC. educationD. our family27.This passage mainly talks about __________.A. the relation between man and insectsB. the problems with dealing with moneyC. the insects in natureD. the spending nature of people28.Which of the following has the character that the author prefers?A. The ant.B. The cricket.C. The snail.D. None of the above.CThe Hearst CastleHearst Castle is a park on the central California coast and a National Historic Landmark.

高二英语限时训练I、阅读理解AFrom little hummingbirds (蜂鸟) to big wild geese, roughly half of the world’s more than 10, 000 bird species migrate. Longer wings and strong flying muscles often help these birds fly in the air for a long distance. But a new study of nearly all bird species suggests many migrators share another unexpected flight aid: lighter-colored feathers.Researchers say that having more lightly colored feathers than non-migrating birds may help these long-distance flyers stay cool as they work hard under the hot sun to fly.It’s known that color can help birds hide from some dangerous animals which can hunt them as food, or attract mates by standing out. But color has delicate effects too, including regulating temperature by absorbing or reflecting light, says Kaspar Delhey. For example, bird eggs laid in colder climates tend to be darker, which may help keep them warm.Migrating birds push their bodies to the physiological limit, which creates more heat. Some species dealing with the problem by flying to cooler air during daytime. “If overheating is a problem in migratory birds, another way of dealing with that would be to evolve lighter colors that absorb less heat,” Delhey says.Delhey and his colleagues analyzed over 20, 000 pictures of 10, 618 bird species, ranking wing lightness for each species and comparing that with how far the birds fly. On average, lightness slightly increased with migratory distance, the team found. The longest-distance migrators were about 4 percent lighter than no-migrators, an effect that wasn’t explained by size, climate or habitat type for different species.“It’s not a big difference,” Delhey says, noting that many migrators are darkly colored, perhaps for reasons unrelated to flight. But the trend was significantly consistent.1．What advantage of the migrators is beyond people’s knowledge?A．They have large groups. B．They have longer wings.C．They have strong bodies. D．They have lighter-colored feathers.2．Why does the author mention the example of the bird eggs?A．To indicate that the dark colors can reflect light.B．To explain why birds keep eggs warm in cold climates.C．To prove that color plays a role in adjusting temperatures.D．To show how color helps birds avoid being seen by hunters.3．What problem do migrators have to deal with during migration?A．The lack of food. B．The long distance.C．The cooler and cooler climate. D．The increasing body temperature.4．How did the researchers get their conclusion?A．By checking figures. B．By making comparisons.C．By making questionnaires. D．By drawing pictures.BIn principle, it sounds simple: eat less and move more. This dietary advice for handling obesity has been around for decades. Yet, despite all the calorie counting, dieting and exercising, worldwide obesity rates just keep soaring up. In a recent paper, researchers question the basic assumption of whether taking in more calories than you burn really is the primary cause of obesity. They argue that the evidence actually points the other way: we are driven to overeat because we are getting fatter.This may seem incredible, but consider the rapid adolescent growth. As their growth rate speeds up, teenagers may eat much more than they used to. Does this “overeating” cause the rapid growth?Or does the rapid growth make teens hungrier so they eat more? Clearly the latter, as adults won’t grow taller, no matter how much they eat. A few hours after eating a high-carb meal, the number of calories in the blood stream drops dramatically, so we get hungrier sooner. From this perspective, the difficulty resisting hunger that so many dieters have isn’t a sign of poor discipline, but rather a biological problem involving how our bodies distribute the calories we consume. A low-calorie, low-fat diet further restricts an already limited supply of energy, worsening hunger without addressing the underlying tendency to store too many calories in body fat. Consequently, weight loss becomes a battle between mind and metabolism (新陈代谢) that most people will probably lose.Although much more research will be needed to test this controversial idea, it is time to question the basic assumptions about cause and effect, calories and weight gain that have dominated our thinking for decades.5．What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A．It is extremely tough to deal with overweight.B．Eating less and moving more will make you lose weight.C．We are forced to eat more food because we are getting fatter.D．Taking in more calories than you burn is the main cause of obesity.6．Why is it difficult for dieters to resist hunger according to the text?A．Because the dieters are fond of eating a high-carb meal.B．Because some of the dieters are weak in self-discipline.C．Because the number of calories in the blood drops dramatically.D．Because the case is more related to the distribution of calories taken in.7．What can we learn about a low-calorie, low-fat diet according to Paragraph 3?A．It causes people to feel hungrier. B．It solves the tendency for too much fat.C．It provides the energy people need. D．It makes people lose their metabolism.8．What is the author’s attitude towards the cause and effect between calories and weight gain?A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Objective. D．Indifferent.II、七选五Speaking with people who are suffering is difficult. ____1___ Sometimes it’s just difficult to know what to say. Words fail us. Here are some tips for talking about illness with loved ones.____2___ Visit them, or if that’s not possible, just call them. Don’t worry if you weren’t there in their exact hour of need. It’s important to let them know you’ve been thinking of them and that you regret the delay.Ask specific open questions. Your friend will no doubt have a routine response to “How are you feeling?” So steer away from routine politeness by asking specific open questions, such as, “So much has happened since we last spoke, tell me what’s been going on with you.” ____3____Don’t argue with them. You may indeed believe that drinking herb tea is a cure-all, or a friend of your friend might well have benefited from a dietary change. ____4____ Your friend is likely exhausted and sensitive, so there is no need to contradict their lived experience. Let them lead the conversation about their health, which is a small concession that you should make.Know how to assist them. If you’ve given them enough room to talk, you should have a wealth of information about how to help them. ____5____ Do they like being in the garden? Maybe you’ve been cutting your own lawn and could bring the mower round before you put it away.A．Reach out to your unwell loved one.B．Approach the situation in a gentle manner.C．But remember where you are and why you are there.D．People in pain can often be bad-tempered, distant or greatly in need.E．Your sick friend or relative is literally an expert in what it’s like to live with sickness.F．Specific information such as diagnosis and symptoms is what they are willing to share.G．Make suggestions to your friends based on your close listening and knowledge of their history.III、语法填空Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province in China, ____1____ (recognise) as “the land of abundance” for a long time. With rich cultural heritage, Chengdu is one of the ____2____ (hot) destinations for tourists in China. For tourists like me, pandas are its top ____3____ (attract).So it was a great honour to be invited to the non-profit Panda Base, ____4____the ticket money helps pay for research. I was allowed to get up close to these ____5____ (adore) animals at the 600-acre centre. From tomorrow, I will be their UK ambassador. The title will be officially given to me at a ceremony in London. But I made a connection with pandas earlier, ____6____ (date) back to my days on a TV show in the mid-1980s, when I was the first Western TV reporter permitted ____7____ (film) a special unit caring for pandas rescued from starvation in the wild. My ambassadorial duties will include introducing British visitors____8____ the 120-plus pandas at Chengdu and others at a research centre in the misty mountains of Bifengxia.Chengdu is home to the rare giant panda and famous for ____9____ (it) gorgeous scenic spots and numerous historical sites. So if you want to see both the lovely pandas and the breathtaking scenery in one shot at the same time, you should visit Chengdu and enjoy ____10____ it could ever offer.IV、告知信/通知假设你是李华，你的英国笔友John对中国的传统节日非常感兴趣，清明节将至，他发来邮件询问有关清明节的信息，请你用英文给他回一封电子邮件，内容包括：1.节日的时间；2.节日的活动；3.节日的意义。

Thecreations made by Danish company Sprout focus on things you can recycle and plantlike pencils, cards and stickers.Their plantable pencils are one of their hot products, As the name suggests,plantable pencils are fitted with a small capsule at the end that contains seeds.Michael Stausholm, Sprout’s chief manager, says once the pencil is too short to use, itcan be planted in soil instead of being thrown away. “It s hows people—kids,use thingsgrownups—in a very easy way what sustainability is all about. Don’t justand throw them away. Use things, and then use them for something else. In this case,we give it new life. ”The seeds inside the capsules range from flowers to herbs and fruiting plants. Thebotanist says they are testing out more varieties, especially those difficult to grow incooler northern European homes to ensure their pencils contain the best possiblevariety of a particular seed.Stausholm said, “People seem to really love the eco pencil and the fact that it hasso many practical uses. I also think the fact that it is 100 per cent sustainable and ishandmade from only natural materials makes it more appealing.Sprout now sells between 300,000 and 400,000 pencils a month. IKEA, Disney,Pepsi, and Bank of America, as well as public bodies a nd citizens, are all on Sprout’s customer list.They are also developing small waterproof boxes called “Tiny Gardens”, target at people who don’t want to keep soil in the kitchen.Though some are ignoring their importance when it comes to longer termsustainability, Stausholm says the plantable products can still make an impact. “Wedon’t think that we save the planet at all, but it’s a small thing, it’s the sm that we do in our everyday lives, step by step. We can all make a difference in the waywe think when we consume.”33. What’s special about the plantable pencil?A. It can grow into different plants.B. It can be made into different seeds.C. It can be planted in special soil.D. It can be kept in waterproof boxes.34. What can we learn from the passage?A. Plantable pencil is the only successful product of Sprout.B. Only handmade products will have sustainability.C. The plantable pencils have become popular in many countries.D. The eco pencil are refused in northern European countries.35. The author writes the passage in order to .A. advertise the plantable pencils to the worldB. introduce a new and sustainable way of writingC. make a difference in the world step by stepD. introduce a new and eco-friendly product第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

My daughter was being thrown out of the sixth grade. The teacher said, “She may not be up to what we’re trying to accomplish.” He was really saying she didn’t have the intelligence. I got mad because I knew she was smart, just as my father had known I was smart when I was failing in school. We had her tested. I decided to get myself tested as well, and found that the troubles she was having were exactly what I had had — dyslexia. By then I was a successful television writer, and had won an Emmy Award for “The Rockford Files.”If I had known earlier that something beyond my control could explain why I was a low achiever, I may not have worked so hard in my late 20s and early 30s. I was writing and writing. I was working for no other reason than to hear people praise me, because I did badly in all my courses.I once asked a friend who had always gotten an A, “How long did you study for this?” He said, “I didn’t. I just glanced at it.” So he must be smarter. I began to ask, “What will happen to me when I’m not good at anything?” Despite my doubts, I did become successful, and people now say to me, “So you’ve overcome dyslexia.”No. You don’t overcome it, you learn to compensate for it. Some easy things are very hard for me. Most people who go through college read twice as fast as I do. I avoid dialing a phone if I can, because I sometimes have to try three times to get the number right.Despite my weaknesses I view dyslexia as a gift, not a curse (诅咒). Many dyslexics are good at right-brain, abstract thought, and that’s what my kind of creative writing is. And I can write quickly, and can get up to 15 pages a day. Writing is my strength.The real fear I have for dyslexic children is not they have to struggle in school, but that they will quit on themselves before they get out of school. Parents have to create victories for them, whether it’s music, sports or art. You can make your dyslexic child able to say, “Yeah, reading is hard. But I have other things I can do.”1．The writer decided to get himself tested as well because he________.A．wanted to know if they had the same problemB．didn’t believe his daughter had the problemC．had to take a regular medical examinationD．accepted that his daughter was not smart2．We can learn from the second paragraph that the writer________.A．struggled and got better gradesB．didn’t work hard when he was youngC．was praised for overcoming dyslexiaD．was thankful not knowing of dyslexia earlier3．According to the passage, a dyslexic person________.A．is less intelligent B．always fails in schoolC．reads more slowly than normal people D．performs worse in left-brain activities4．What can we learn from the story?A．Clumsy birds have to start flying early.B．God shuts one door but opens another.C．Never judge a person by his appearance.D．No one can make a good coat with bad cloth.【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B【分析】本文是记叙文。

AsII、完形填空Many people believe that English is an easy language. Indeed, the author of a popular book on the history of English says that English “… has a grammar of great 51 ”. But if you have read the 52 articles in this series, it will be clear that I have a 53 opinion. My intention 54 , not always so seriously, that English is in factfull of difficulties to the non-native speakers. The biggest book of English grammar contains 1800 pages and 55 3 kilos, which doesn’t necessarily pr ove that English grammar is 56 , but it 57 , undoubtedly, show that there is a lot of 58 !So is English easy or not? Actually, English can be said to be difficult 59 we can point to many other languages that are 60 . But English, like every language, isa hugely complex system 61 many aspects（方面）. It may be that some aspects of the language system are easier in English but 62 aspects are more difficult. For example, English spelling is more difficult than German spelling, but on the other hand adjectives are easier to use in English because they do not 63 their endings as theydo in 64 .And it seems that some languages are easier at the beginning but get 65 harder, 66 for other languages the opposite is true. I remember struggling terribly in my first few years of learning German to 67 terms with the interaction of articles（冠词）, case（格）and word order. However, once I had mastered this aspect of grammar, 68 else seemed very difficult in learning German. 69 , I have the feeling that English gets more and more difficult 70 the learner advances.51.

However, not everybody knows much about the life of this remarkable man, except perhaps that he was born in the market town of Stratford-upon-Avon and that he marrieda woman called Anne Hathaway. We know nothing of his school life. We do not know, for example, how long it lasted, but we presume（推测）that he attended the local grammar school, where the principal subject taught was Latin.Nothing certain is known of what he did between the time he left school and his departure（出发）for London. According to a local legend, he was beaten and even putin prison for stealing rabbits and deer from the estate of neighbouring landowner, SirThomas Lucy. It is said that because of this he was forced to run away from his native place. A different legend says that he was apprenticed（做学徒）to a Stratford butcher, but did not like the life and for this reason decided to leave Stratford.Whatever caused him to leave the town of his birth, the world can be grateful that he did so. What is certain is that he set his foot on the road to fame when he arrived in London. It is said that at first he was without money or friends there, but that he earned a little by taking care of the horses of the gentleman who attended the plays at the theatre. They stopped and spoke to him. They found his conversations so brilliant （有才气的）that finally he was invited to join their company.71. In the early life of Shakespeare, he_______.A. attended a public schoolB. lived in LondonC. studied LatinD. was put in prison72. Why was he forced to leave his native place according to this passage?A. Because he didn’t want to go to school.B. Because he left for London to become famous.C. Because he had stolen deer and was beaten.D. No one knows for certain.73. What is the reason why the world can be grateful?A. He wrote many world-famous plays.B. He was an actor.C. He lived a hard life.D. He liked to travel all over the world.74. “In time, as he became a familiar figure…” “in time” means________.A. on timeB. sometimeC. some time laterD. some time75.

Gu also organizes a small workshop to teach knitting (编织) to children.Artist Wang Xuejun sets up a stainless-steel mirror at the mall's gate leading to Zizhong Lu. Visitors, including men, are invited to put on lipstick and kiss the mirror, thus kissing themselves.The Beast Floral Shop, a flower shop in Shanghai, contributes two walls of flowers that are made into the shape of a book, named Kiss Book. Artifacts (⼿⼯艺品) of bees and butterflies are fixed among the blossoms, kissing the flowers. The work represents love and harmony in nature.Architect Ma Ke creates a Kiss Bridge with transparent (透明的) acrylic boards and ceramic （陶瓷的）fishbowls. Bridges are often spots for dating lovers in traditional Chinese folk stories and the goldfish in the bowls are witnesses of the lovers' kisses.In the south plaza, an18-meter-high interactive tree-shaped light equipment encourages people to kiss. Each kiss turns a certain light on, reminding audiences of their sweet childhood memories of kisses.At the side of the tree is a counter, in which each kiss is counted and represents a donation to charity organizations.21. What is the main idea of the article?A. It tells people how important kisses are to life.B. It describes what Shanghai Xintiandi Style Mall looks like.C. It introduces an exhibition under the theme “kiss”.D. It introduces various activities in Shanghai Xintiandi Style Mall.22. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. people encourage themselves to express their emotions.B. people discourage themselves from expressing their emotions.C. people teach themselves to express their emotions.D. people learn a lot from expressing their emotions.23. What can we learn from the article?A. Most people are interested in Jiang Shan’s artpiece, which brings about a feeling of warmth.B. Most visitors will kiss each other in front of the stainless steel mirror at the gate.C. All the decorations in the mall are aimed at encouraging lovers to express their love bravely.D. The 18-meter-high interactive tree-shaped light equipment will be on for each kiss.24. The article above probably is taken from a ____________.A. text bookB. science and technology magazineC. news websiteD. travel leafletBMarc Briol started his career at the age of 17 as an apprentice (学徒) at a hotel in Germany, but his experience in the kitchen started at 12, when he had to cook his own meals after school. The young chef with Belle-Vue, the European restaurant at the Grand Hyatt Shenzhen, believes a chef has to be honest and true to his food."If you look at the plate, it says exactly what I have done. You cannot cheat. If you try to take a shortcut, you will affect the taste," he says. "It is also what I appreciate in my job ---- direct communication with my customers."At just 23, Briol was appointed chef of Belle-Vue in September, when his enthusiasm and inspiration won recognition."I am so pleased to welcome Marc to lead the culinary (烹饪) team at Belle-Vue. His creativity and passion will bring new inspiration to the restaurant, and create exciting dining experiences that are approachable and fun," says Martin Riehl, executive chef of the hotel.Briol creates and combines classic dishes with his own understanding and his signature dishes are featured in the Best of Belle-Vue selection. Most of the dishes are presented in two colors ---- green and red."It is a nice contrast with the white plate at the moment. And it reminds me of something happy and merry."The colors are updated according to season, and also on request from regular customers. Although Briol has only been in Shenzhen about three months, he has fallen in love with Cantonese food."I love dim sum ---- all the steamed vegetables, chicken soup and black tea."One interesting thing about Shenzhen is how people treat food, he says. "If you go to the local market, you will see things such as snakes, which would belong to the zoo back in my country."He says that in China, everything has a reason. People respect food, which is not always done in Europe."In China, if you eat something, it is because it is healthy for your body."As for the cooking, he says, it is not easy to get raw materials for a European restaurant in Shenzhen."It took me about a month to get the fish I want for my cooking. We had to call Shanghai or Hong Kong to ship the food here," he says. "When I worked in London, the process was much easier."He gets much of his inspiration from food blogs and friends."About 80 percent of my friends come from restaurants, and they are bakers, chefs. We will meet and talk to get new ideas for food." Other sources of inspiration are traveling and cookbooks.During his day off, he will also try to explore new restaurants in Shenzhen."Food is all my life. You have to pay lots of effort to get it done, to improve yourself."25. Marc Briol has ever worked in _________ according to the article.A. France, Germany and ChinaB. Germany, England and ChinaC. France, China and EnglandD. Germany, England and France26. Which sentence can best reflect that Marc Briol loves his career?A. “If you look at the plate, it says exactly what I have done.”B. “It’s also what I appreciate in my job ---- direct communication with my customers.”C. “It’s a nice contrast with white plate at the moment.”D. “Food is all my life.”27. Why is Martin Riehl pleased to have Marc Briol lead the culinary team at Belle-Vue?A. Because he appreciates Marc’s enthusiasm and creativity.B. Because Marc has much experience in cooking.C. Because Marc is honest to his food.D. Because Marc was an appointed chef.28. Marc Briol gets much of his inspiration from many sources EXCEPT ________.A. food blogsB. travelingC. cookbooksD. food colorsCChina faces $176bn bill to clean up air pollutionCleaning up China’s air pollution will cost 1.75 trillion yuan ($176b) between2013 and 2017, a high-ranking environmental official has estimated.Wang Jinnan, deputy head of the Chinese Academy for Environmental Planning, said that the investment ---- part of an anti-pollution "action plan"announced by China's cabinet in September ---- “would drive up GDP by nearlytwo trillion yuan ($202b) and create over two million jobs,” China’s official newswire Xinhua reported.The total cost will be higher than the 2012 GDP of most countries, including Finland, Israel and Portugal.“36.7 percent of the investment, or 640 billion yuan ($64.5b) should go on cleaning up industry, followed by 490 billion yuan (28.2 percent) on cleaner energy sources. Cleaning up motor vehicles will absorb 210 billion yuan,” Xinhua re ported, citing (引⽤) Wang.In 2013, broad areas of China recorded their highest air pollution levels in 52 years, causing widespread anger over the massive environmental disaster shaped by decades of unchecked economic growth.While Beijing has long been known for its pea-soup air, a number of traditionally clearer cities, including Shanghai and Harbin, have registered pollution levels high enough for local authorities to ground flights, close schools and pull cars from the roads.On Friday, Shanghai’s con centration of airborne PM 2.5 – particulate matter small enough to stay deep within the lungs –rose to 214 micrograms per cubic meter, three times China’s national limit. The official Shanghai Environmental Monitoring Center warned children and the elderly to stay indoors.In its five-year action plan, China's State Council promised to reduce the level of airborne particulate matter by at least 10% in major cities by 2017.Yet many smog-related government measures, such as controlling street-side barbecues, have drawn criticism for polishing over the problem. In October, one Beijing official blamed the smog on “the traditional way of cooking Chinese dishes.”In response, many Chinese people have taken measures into their own hands. Face masks have become a fashionstatement; air purifier sales have rapidly increased. An elementary school in north China’s Shijiazhuang, one of the country’s most polluted cities, has begun teaching its students a smog-defying aerobics (健美操) routine involving acupuncture points associated with respiratory（呼吸）health. Last week, a hospital in the southwestern Chinese city Chengdu opened a “smog clinic” to treat air pollution-related diseases such as coughs and asthma; it has been treating roughly a dozen patients a day. "We should not fear smog. It's preventable and curable," says a poster hung by its entrance.29. What is the major cause of the heavy smog in China according to the article?A. The investment in an anti-pollution "action plan" is not enough.B. The economic development has not been carefully checked in the past years.C. Environmental Planning has not been carried out for decades of years.D. The traditional way of cooking Chinese dishes has produced too much smoke.30. To avoid the harm on their health, people suffering from the smog in China are doing the following EXCEPT _______.A. wearing face masks and use air purifiersB. warning children and the elderly not to go outdoorsC. criticizing many smog-related government officialsD. opening “smog clinics” to t reat air pollution-related diseases31. After reading the article, most readers may feel ___________.A. Angry but hopelessB. Tired and indifferent (漠不关⼼)C. Concerned but positiveD. Depressed and annoyedDHi, everybody. Over the past couple months, most of the political headlines you’ve read have probably been about the government shutdown and the launch of the Affordable Care Act(平价医疗法案). And I know that many of you have rightly never been more frustrated with Washington.But if you look beyond those headlines, there are some good things happening in our economy. And that’s been my top priority（优先考虑）since the day I walked into the Oval Office.After decades in which the middle class was working harder and harder just to keep up, and a punishing recession（衰退）that made it worse, we made the tough choices required not just to recover from crisis, but to rebuild on a new foundation for stronger, more durable economic growth.Five years later, we have fought our way back. Our businesses have created 7.8 million new jobs in the past 44 months. Another 200,000 Americans went back to work last month.The American auto industry has come back with more than 350,000 new jobs –-- jobs putting out and selling the high-tech, fuel-efficient cars the world wants to buy. And they’re leading the charge in a business that has added jobs for the first time since the 1990s –-- a big reason why our businesses sell more goods and services “Made in America” than ever befor e.We decided to stop our addiction to foreign oil. And today, we produce more renewable energy than ever, more natural gas than anybody, and for the first time in nearly 20 years, America now produces more oil than we buy from other countries.We decided to fix a broken health care system. And even though the task has been rough, so far, about 500,000 Americans gain health coverage starting January 1st. And by the way, health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years. And one more thing: since I took office, we’ve cut our deficits (⾚字) by more than half. And that makes it easier to invest in the things that create jobs –-- education, research, and so on.Imagine how much farther along we could be if both parties were working together. Think abo ut what we could do if the few didn’t hold the economy hostage (⼈质) every few months, or waste time on dozens of votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act rather than try to help us fix it.In the weeks ahead, I’ll keep talking about my plan to build a bette r bargain for the middle class. Good jobs. A good education. A chance to buy a home, save, and retire. And yes, the financial security of affordable health care. And I’ll look for any willing partners who want to help.Because of your hard work and tough s acrifices over the past five years, we’re pointed in the right direction. But we’ve got more work to do to keep moving that way.And as long as I’m President, I’ll keep doing everything I can to create jobs, grow the economy, and make sure that everyone who works hard has a chance to get ahead. Thanks, and have a great weekend.32. Which of the following is not the reason for people’s frustration with the government?A. The government shutdownB. Unemployment rateC. The addiction to foreign oilD. Cancelling the Affordable Care Act33. Why does the president mention more goods and services “Made in America”?A. To show that American goods and services are very popular.B. To indicate that American people should be dependent on themselves.C. To show that the employment rate has been increased.D. To show that American auto industry enjoys high technology.34. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “repeal”?A. put an end toB. try hard to fixC. make strongerD. get accustomed to35. According to the speech, which of the following can be implied?A. American people have every reason to feel frustrated with the government.B. Health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years.C. The president feels sorry that the economy is not moving in the right direction.D. Some government officials don’t agree with the president on the medical care system.⾼⼆英语限时训练答案完型：DABCB / CABAD / ABDCB/ DACCD阅读：A：C B D C B： B D A D C：BCC D：DCAD。
高二英语短卷训练 限时练(已校稿 含答案)
高二英语短卷训练限时练第二部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）第一节（共15小题）；每小题2分，满分30分）AThere was once a group of monks(和尚) who went to Australia to spread Buddhism. Everything had to be started from the beginning. After buying a plot of land, they bought bricks, construction materials and with their own hands, they started to build a temple.A young monk took charge of building the brick wall. He took great care in laying the bricks, ensuring that they were leveled. His progress was slow, due to the great care in his work, but he wasn’t bothered,. Finally, when he completed the wall, something caught his eye and made him angry. Despite the great care he took in his work, he had overlooked two bricks that were laid slanted(倾斜). Because of that, whenever visitors came to the temple, the young monk would show them around to all places, except the brick wall that he had built.One day, two elderly monks came to the temple. No matter how the young monk tried to bypass the brick wall, the old monks insisted on touring the area around that brick wall. Unwillingly, the young monk brought the elders to the brick wall.“Oh, this is such a beautiful brick wall,” one of the elderly monks said. “Sir, are you sure? Haven’t you seen the two ugly bricks that are slante d in the middle of the wall?” the young monk asked in surprise. “Yes, I have.” replied the elderly monk. “But I also saw the remaining 98 good bricks that made this a beautiful wall!”You see, most of the time, we focus on things that went wrong or didn’t live to our expectations. However, we’ve forgotten the fact that they are only two bad bricks in the wall and we should not overlook the beauty of the remaining 98 bricks.21. What lesson can we learn from the story?A. Grasp all, lose all.B. It is no use crying over spilt milk.C. Don’t miss the forest for the trees.D. No sweat, no sweet.22. Which of the following words can best describe the young monk when he built the brick wall?A. Careful and patient.B. Lazy and careless.C. Hard-working but impatient.D. Upset and worried.23. What did the elderly monk think of the wall built by the young monk?A. He thought it was not firm.B. He thought highly of it.C. He thought it was ugly.D. He thought it was slanted.BThe well-known adventurer and explorer Steve Fossett was famous for extraordinary efforts in setting world records in flying, ballooning and sailing. He set or broke over 100 records in five different sports. Many of these records still hold.Steve Fossett was born in 1944 in Jackson, Tennessee. At twelve, he climbed his first mountain, and he kept going by choosing bigger and bigger goals. During his life, Fossett climbed the highest mountain on every continent except Mount Everest.Also in 1985, he became the 270th person to swim across the English Channel. In 1991 Fossett decided to pursue the highest goals in ballooning and sailing. Steve Fossett attempted the hot-air balloon trip around the world six times. This was not easy to do. During his fourth attempt in 1998, he was almost killed during a thunderstorm off the coast of Australia. Fossett successfully made the trip in 2002. He traveled over 33,000 kilometers for over 14 days. On this fight, Fosstt set other records including a speed record of 322 kilometers per hour.Many of Steve Fossett’s most extraordinary adventures were as a pilot. In 2005, he became the first person to fly a plane alone around the world without stopping for fuel. In 2006, Fossett and another pilot set an altitude record for flying a glider(滑翔机), a plane with no engine. They flew the glider into the Earth’s stratosphere(平流层) at a height of over 15,000 meters.Steve Fossett once said that he did not like risks. He knew this might sound strange considering his activities. But he said what he tried to do was reduce risk with careful planning, technological development and the help of the best scientists and other experts.Yet, no amount of planning can prevent the possibility of risk in life. In September of 2007, during a short-distance flight, his plane disappeared. At last, in February of 2008, a judge in Chicago declared Steve Fossett legally dead. He was sixty-three years old.24. Which shows the correct order of the following events?a. Steve Fossett climbed his first mountain.b. Steve Fossett made the hot-air balloon trip around the world successfully.c. Steve Fossett became the 270th person to swim across the English Channel.d. Steve Fossett became the first person to fly a plane around the world alone without stopping forfuel.A. a, b, c, dB. a, c, b, dC. b, c, a, dD. b, d, a, c25. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Risks can be avoided with careful planning.B. One cannot avoid risks even with careful planning.C. Nobody can be successful without taking a few risks.D. Planning is very important when one makes explorations.26. Which word can best describe Steve Fossett?A. UnfortunateB. ProudC. HonestD. Brave27. What’s the best title for the pas sage?A. Steve Fossett---a Great World Recorder HolderB. World records set by Steve FossettC. 63-year-old Steve Fossett Passed AwayD. a famous adventurer---Steve FossettCTired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping. Or is it?Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (浏览) various websites. The claim made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the victim of fraud (诈骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation.Another problem is the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue. Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large vans pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated (使烦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave from work you have taken to receive it!Without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits. However, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.28. The author lists several questions in Para. 1 to .A. support online shoppingB. collect answers from readersC. show his dislike of going shoppingD. introduce the topic of the passage29. By what can online shoppers avoid fraud?A. Using only trusted websites.B. Choosing big websites.C. Collecting shopping evidence.D. Seeking advice from the police.30. The author agrees with the fact that ______.A. customers are never satisfied with productsB. online shopping is a safe way to make purchasesC. online shopping has nothing to do with global warmingD. delivery delay often makes online shoppers unhappy31. What is the author’s attitude towards online shopping?A. Very popular.B. A wise choice.C. Not trouble free.D. A waste of time.DIt’s that time of year when people need to lock their cars. It’s not because there are a lot of criminals running around stealing cars. Rather, it’s because of good-hearted neighbors who want to share their harvest. Especially with this year’s large crop, leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone to fill it with zucchini（西葫芦）.My sister, Sharon, recently had a good year for tomatoes. She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they had begun to feel their skin turn slightly red. That’s when she decided it was time to share her blessings. She started calling everyone she knew. When that failed, she began asking everyone in the neighborho od, eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes. “Feel free to take whatever you want,” Sharon told her. Later that day, Sharon found that her garden had indeed been harvested. She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food d idn’t go to waste.A few days later, Sharon answered the door. There was the neighbor, holding a hot loaf of bread. The neighbor smiled pleasantly, “I wanted to thank you for all of the tomatoes, and I have to admit that I took a few other things and h oped you wouldn’t mind.”Sharon couldn’t think of anything else in her garden that had been worth harvesting and said so. “Oh, but you did,” the neighbor said. “You had some of the prettiest zucchini I’ve ever seen.”Sharon was confused. They hadn’t even planted any zucchini. But her neighbor insisted that there really were bright-green zucchini in her garden. Sharon felt curious and decided to go to see where the zucchini had grown. The two of them walked together into the backyard.

He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,“My I get you something ?〞“A coffee would be nice.〞Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?〞“Who?〞“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Boar d of Churchill Downs.〞I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity.56. What does the underlined word “disheveled〞 mean?A. Unfriendly.B. Untidy.C. Gentle.D. Kind.57. The author bought coffee for the old man becauseA. he thought the old man was poorB. he wanted to start a conversationC. he intended to show his politenessD. he would like to thank the old man58. How did the author probably feel after he talked with his friend?A. Proud.B. Pitiful.C. Surprised.D. Regretful59. What is the message mainly expressed in the story?A. We should learn to be generous.B. It is honorable to help those in need.C. People in high positions are not like what we expect.D. We should avoid judging people by their appearances.BIt is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生产商) follow certainuniform standards for various features(特征) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s form the left. Considering most of the word’s population----men and women----are right-handed, the men’s standard would appear to ma ke more sense for women. So why do women’s clothes button from the left?History really seems to matter here. Buttons first ap peared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men’s shirts button form the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning form the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned form the left, it w ould have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women’s shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.64.What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.B. It is different for men’s clothing and women’s.C. It woks better with men than with women.D. It fails to consider right-handed people.65. What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century?A. They tended to wear clothes without buttons.B. They were interested in the historical matters.C. They were mostly dressed by servants.D. They drew their swords from the left.66. Women’s clothes still button from the left today because .A. adopting m en’s style is improper for womenB. manufacturers should follow standardsC. modern women dress themselvesD. customs are hard to change67. The passage is mainly developed by .A. analyzing causesB. making comparisonsC. examining differencesD. following the time orderCHumans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives.This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists have madeto find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy(梦想) literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings. This sense of wonder draws usto each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe. But havewe gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure ofother worlds that already exist all around us?Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connectwith and understand other life forms. However, people, especially in big cities,often lead rather isolated lives. In a study of British schoolchildren, it was foundthat children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from televisionshows and video games than with common wildlife. Without modem technology, a smallpond could be an amazing world f illed with strange and beautiful plants, insects,birds, and animals. When we lack meaningful interaction(交互) with the world aroundus, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen。

The rock paintings in France that date back 15000 years, for example, were discovered by two boys who were looking for shelter form the rain. The paintings later became the “findof last century”. Or the Sanxingdui Ruins(三星堆遗址), known by historians as the “Ninth Wonder of the World”, were discovered in Sichuan Province by a farmer.In the spring of 1929, Yan Qingbao, then a 43-year-old farmer, discovered a circular piece of jade while digging a hole. Driven by curiosity, he dug deeper and found a group of about 400 colorful jade piece.At the time, he had no idea his discovery would be as important as other wonder of the world, such China’s Great Wall and Egypt’s pyramids.Since then, more than 10,000 relics, dating back to between 5,000 and 3,000 BC have been unearthed at Sanxingdui.These relics include gold, pottery, bone tools and ivory objects.They prove that Sanxingdui contains the ruins of an ancient city that was once the political, economic and cultural center of the ancient Shu Kingdom---the old name for Sichuan.It has helped modern historians realize that Sichuan’s human history goes back more than 5,000 years.But still, only 4 of the Sanxingdui Ruins’12 square kilometers have been uncovered. Who knows what other big surprises are waiting to be shown to the world?1. Why does the author cite the carvings discovered by two boys in France at the beginning of the passage?A. to express the idea that accidental discoveries have often opened the door to beauty and wonderB. the discovery is as important as that of the Sanxingdui RuinsC. to serve as an example of great discoveryD. to signify the importance of the find of last century2. The relics unearthed at Sanxingdui includes ______.A. goldB. potteryC. bone tools and ivory objectsD. all of the above3. From the passage we can conclude that ______.A. Chinese civilization rose from a single source--- the Yellow River valleyB. Sanxingdui contains the ruins of an ancient city that was once the political,economic and cultural center of the ancient Shu KingdomC. Sichuan’s human history goes back more than 5,000 yearsD. besides the source of the Yellow River valley, Chinese civilization possibly roseform another sourceDeep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns(洞窟).The caverns have been known and used since the days of Cherokee Indian nation. It expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain, nearly one mile from the entrance. In a room called “The Council Room”, many Indian artifacts(史前古器物) have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years, there were persistent(持久的) rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. in that year, athirteen-year-old boy name Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feetunderground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water. Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glassbottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent(范围) of it is still known.4.

Grandma and Uncle Henry lived on a farm some 15 miles out of town. They had no electricity or running water and 36 what I considered the “good things〞 in life. They 37 made no plans for Christmas. When Christmas Eve arrived, Mom told me in her best “I-mean-it〞 voice to 38 all the decorations from our tree. She packed those up, along with all the trimmings(装饰物) for a complete turkey 39.Christmas morning 40 perfectly, with the sun shining brightly across a fresh blanket of snow. 41 I sulked(生气) silently in the backseat of the car as we madeour 42 to grandma’s. This was going to be the 43 Christmas ever! Grandma was 44 to see us as we walked up to her door. “What on earth are you doing here?〞 She stammered. “We weren’t expecting 45. It’s Christmas, and I don’t even have a turkey to 46 for you.〞“I knew that,〞 Mom said as we set boxes of goodies on the kitchen table. “That’s 47 we brought one with us.〞“We must have a 48,〞 Mom insisted. “ 49, what will we do with all these decorations?〞 Uncle Henry quickly caught Mom’s spirit. He called me to join him, and we 50 a perfect Christmas tree in the woods. Soon the 51 smelled fresh and piney as we decorated the tree, and the day 52 a festive air.

This is one of the questions I am frequently asked. There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike, and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the intricacies (难懂之处) of reading letters to form words.If a three-year-old wants to read (or even a two-year-old for that matter), the child has the right to be given every encouragement. The fact that he or she might later be “bored〞 when joining a class of non-readers at child school is the teacher’s affair. It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced reading material.Similarly, the child who still cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike. They should make certain that he is not dyslexic(诵读困难的). If he is, a specialist’s help should immediately be sought.Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters aged two to five to learn to read (if badly done it could put them off reading for life), there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition of letters by labeling (标明) various items in their room. For instance, tie a nice piece of cardboard to their bed with BED written in neat, big letters.Should the young child ask his parents to teach him to read, and if the parents are capable of doing so, such an attraction should not be ignored. But the task should never be made to look like a hard job and the child should never be forced to continue, should his interest start to flag(消退).31. This passage is mainly about _______.A. what qualities people teaching children reading should haveB. different age groupings of children to be taught readingC. when and how children should be taught readingD. various problems of children who start learning to read32. In the writer’s opinion, children start learning to read _______.A. early and fastB. at different rulesC. by a certain ruleD. from word games33. A three-year-old child who wants to read should _______.A. be encouragedB. go to an infant schoolC. start from fun storiesD. join a class of non-readers34. The purpose of labeling items in the room is to _______.A. make it more colorfulB. teach children to write neatlyC. help children recognize simple lettersD. force children to develop the habit of reading35. The writer suggests that _______.A. children should ask their parents to teach them to readB. children should not feel bored if given advanced reading materialC. children starting to read should ask specialists for helpD. children should be taught with patience, care and a sense of humorBWe all know that the normal human daily cycle of activity is of some 7-8 hours’ sleep alternating (交替) with some 16-17 hours’ wakefulness and that, broadly speaking, the sleep normally coincides with (与……相符) the hours of darkness. Our present concern is with how easily and to what this cycle can be modified.The question is not only an academic one. The case, for example, with which people can change from working in the day to working at night, is a question of growing importance in industry where automation calls insistently for round-the-clock working of machines. It normally takes from five days to one week for a person to adapt to a reversed(颠倒的) routine of sleep and wakefulness, sleeping during the day and working at night. Unfortunately, it is often the case in industry that shifts are changed every week; a person may work from 12 midnight to 8 am one week, 8 am to 4 pm the next, and 4 pm to 12 midnight the third and so on. This means that no sooner has he got used to one routine than he has to change to another, so that much of his time is spent neither working nor sleeping very efficiently.One answer would seem to be a longer period on each shift, a month, or even three months. Recent research by Bonjer of the Netherlands, however, has shown that people on such systems will revert to their normal habits of sleep and wakefulness during the weekend and that this is quite enough to destroy any adaptation to night work built up during the week.The only real solution appears to be to hand over the night shift to a crop of permanent(永久的) night workers whose nocturnal〔夜间的〕 wakefulness may last through all weekends and holidays. An interesting study of the domestic life and health of night-shift workers was carried out by Brown. She found a high incidence of disturbed sleep, digestive〔消化的〕disorder and domestic disruption (扰乱) among those on alternating day and night shifts. But no abnormal occurrence of these symptoms〔病症〕 among those on permanent night work.36. The article is mainly about _______.A. how the normal human daily cycle worksB. how to deal with the problem of shift workC. a research on the normal human daily cycleD. how to work better37. According to the passage, the main problem about night work is that _______.A. your life is disturbed by changing from day to night routines and backB. people hate the inconvenience, the main problem on night shiftsC. not all industries work at the same hoursD. it is difficult to find a crop of good night workers38. It can be inferred that the best solution to the problem seems to be _______.A. not to change shifts from one week to the nextB. to make periods on each shift longerC. to employ people who will always work at nightD. to find ways of selecting people who adapt quickly39. If something works round the clock, it works _______.A. all day longB. all the timeC. all night longD. at a regular pace40. Which of the statements is TRUE?A. Automation helps solve the problem of working at night.B. A person can work more efficiently by frequent changes between day shifts andnight shifts.C. The adaptation to night work can be destroyed if the person reverts to theirnormal habits for even one day or two.D. Those permanent night workers are more likely to have such a symptom asdigestive disorder.[参考答案]1-5AABCB 6-10DDACB 11-15 BACBA 16-20 ABDCA21-25 CBDDA 26-30 BCABD 31-35 B AADD 36-40BACBC。

On February 11, 2007, Faust was named president ofHarvard University. She is the first woman to hold the position in the school's 371-year history."I am a historian," she said. "I've spent a lot of time thinking about the past, and about how it shapes the future. No university in the country, perhaps the world, has as remarkable a past as Harvard's. ""And our common enterprise is to make Harvard's future even more remarkable than its past. That will mean recognizing and building on what we already do well. It will also mean recognizing what we don't do as well as we should, and not being satisfied until we find ways to do better."It is her great desire for improvement and willingness to try out new ideas that have given Drew success in a world controlled by men. "This is a man's world, my girl, and the sooner you learn that, the better offyou'll be." Drew Faust recalls her mother telling her this when she was young, but she didn't buy it.Faust grew up in a well-off family in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley in the 1950s.
