Reactions from Americans are mixed.More than half of the people questioned in a survey think e-cigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration,but 47 percent believe the e-cigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit.“In the hunt for a safer cigarette,e-cigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either trying to quit or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers claim to be safer,” Zogby International,which conducted the survey,said in a statement.About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about e-cigarettes,which are battery-powered,or rechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution.They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell.Sold mostly on the Internet,e-cigarettes were first made in China.Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using e-cigarettes,saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit.The WHO said people who smoke e-cigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs.Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that e-cigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden,because they don’t produce smoke,but 46 percent disagree.Men who were aware of the availability of e-cigarettes were more likely than women to say they should be a choice available to smokers who want to quit.Young people,aged 18-29,and singles were the groups most open to trying e-cigarettes.Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide,according to the WHO.1.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A.American smokers ought to try e-cigarettes.B.Americans have different opinions about e-cigarettes.C.Every kind of cigarettes should be forbidden in America.D.Most of the Americans don’t like e-cigarettes.2.According to Zogby International,e-cigarettes ______.A.are much safer than common cigarettesB.are popular among people who want to quit smokingC.will take the place of traditional cigarettesD.are produced in a safer way by manufacturers3.What do we know about e-cigarettes from the passage?A.Most Americans are familiar with them.B.They are a good choice as there is no nicotine.C.They produce a water vapor that can’t be seen.D.Most people buy them on the Internet.4.What’s the attitude of the WHO towards e-cigarettes?A.Negative.B.Supportive.C.Doubtful.D.Indifferent.答案Ⅰ.1.C2.D3.C4.C5.D6.B7.A8.B9.C10.C11.C 12.A 13.B 14.B15.BⅡ.1.D2.C3.D4.B5.A6.C7.D8.B9.A10.C11.D12.A13.B14.C 15.B16.C17.D18.A19.B20.C Ⅲ.1.B2.B3.D4.A2012届高考英语二轮专题总复习精选综合能力专练(2)Ⅰ.单项填空1.Anyway,I can’t cheat him—it’s against all my ______.(2011·浙江,18)A.emotions B.principlesC.regulations D.opinions2.The medicine is on sale everywhere.You can get it at ________ chemist’s.A.each B.some C.another D.any3.She has already tried her best.Please don’t be too ________ about her job.(2011·江西,33)A.special B.responsibleC.unusual D.particular4.—Did you hear that Li Hua was robbed during his recent trip to South Africa?—Yes,not only ________ his money,but he was nearly killed.A.he lost B.did he loseC.he had lost D.was he lost5.When ________ about one of the biggest concerns today,many people mention the sharp rise in prices.A.asking B.to askC.having asked D.asked6.When I got on the bus,I ________ I had left my wallet at home.(2011·山东,31)A.was realizing B.realizedC.have realized D.would realize7.If you ________ smoke,please go outside.(2011·大纲全国卷,8)A.can B.should C.must D.may8.It is generally accepted that ________ boy must learn to stand up and fight like ________man.(2011·新课标全国卷,33)A.a;a B.a;the C.the;the D.a;/9.—Oh,you sounded just like a native.— ________,I still have trouble expressing myself.(2011·安徽,23)A.Well,not quite B.I don’t careC.Yes,you’re right D.I’m glad you like it10.It is still under discussion ________ the old bus station should be replaced with a modern hotel or not.(2011·重庆,22)A.whether B.when C.which D.where11.Ted came for the weekend wearing only some shorts and a T-shirt,________is a stupid thing to do in such weather.(2011·大纲全国卷,7)A.this B.that C.what D.which12.No matter how ________,it is not necessarily lifeless.(2011·辽宁,25)A.a desert may be dry B.dry a desert may beC.may a desert be dry D.dry may a desert be13.________ around the fire,the tourists danced with the local people.(2011·辽宁,30) A.Gather B.To gatherC.Gathering D.To be gathering14.All the employees except the manager ________ to work online at home.A.encourages B.encourageC.is encouraged D.are encouraged15.US President Barack Obama ________ a national speech at the 10th anniversary of 9/11 terror attacks.A.addressed B.deliveredC.spoke D.recitedⅡ.完形填空I graduated from a small public school in Michigan.One day,Mr.Ledy,our football coach,asked me to play football.I couldn’t help__1__:me,play football?

been estimated that rock climbing is now enjoyed by more than 9 million people in the US each year.Study findings revealed a 65 percent increase in the number of patients that were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbing-related injuries between 1991 and 2008.The study,published in the online issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine,found that about 40,000 patients were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbing-related injuries between 1991 and 2008.The most common types of rock climbing-related injuries were fractures (骨折) and sprains (扭伤).The ankle was the most common body part to be injured (40 percent).Climbers in the study ranged in age from 2 to 74,with an average age of 26.The study also found that women took up a quarter of the injuries.Falls were the primary reason for injury with over three-quarters of the injuries occurring as the result of a fall.The severity of fall-related injuries had a lot to do with the height of the fall.Patients who were injured after falling from a height over 20 feet were 10 times more likely to be treated than patients who were injured falling from 20 feet or lower.“We found that the climbers who fell from heights higher than 20 feet took up 70 percent of the patients treated for a rock climbing-related injury,”explained the study author Lara McKenzie,PhD,director at the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Hospital.“This trend,combined with the fact that rock climbers have a higher hospitalization rate than other sports and recreational injuries,demonstrates the need to increase injury prevention efforts for climbers.”1.Which body part is most likely to get injured for a climber?A.The arm.B.The ankle.C.The knee.D.The hand.2.How many women climbers in America got injured while climbing a rock between 1991and 2008?A.About 40,000.B.About 30,000.C.About 20,000.D.About 10,000.3.The severity of climbers’ fall-related injures is mainly related to

relationships.Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do,in truth,though,no boy is an island;boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers (同龄人).Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships,most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives,and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are.A recent study of 10-to-15-year-old boys and girls found that girls’friendships are actually more fragile.Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys,and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”;they love games with rules,competition,and doing things together.Boys seem to enjoy,even need the opportunity to test themselves against others,and many lasting friendships begin in karate (空手道) class or on thebasketball court.Competence and skill are widely respected;being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt (萦绕心头) a boy for years.As boys mature,the friendship becomes even more important,and it frequently widens to include girls.During the teen years,friends can become the most important part of a boy’s life—and a part in which his parents are not included.The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends.There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”,someone he can trust.They may be partners in crime or partners in study,but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.1.The common belief of adults is that boys ________.A.don’t care about others as much as girlsB.don’t value friendships as much as girlsC.have the same friendship as girlsD.have healthier friendship than girls2.According to the passage,________.A.boys usually build friendships by playing competitive

a boy gets older,he tends to ________.A.widen his circle of friends to include his parentsB.shift his focus from his friends to himselfC.leave his parents out of his friendsD.be confused about what a

French-Caribbean man disfigured by a rare tumor show that such transplants can work and are not medical oddities (怪异),researchers said.The findings give hope to some people with severe facial disfigurement and suggest the transplants could prove long-lasting without major problems.Despite the tissue rejection in the first year after their transplants,neither men had psychological problems accepting their new faces and have been able to rejoin society,they reported.Only three people have received face transplants.The world’s first was carried out on French woman Isabelle Dinoire in November 2005 after she was disfigured in an attack by her dog.In 2007,her doctors reported that she had recovered slowly and steadily,overcoming two periods of rejection.In 2006,Chinese doctors performed a face transplant on a 30-year-old hit by a bear.While there were some complications with tissue rejection following the operation,two years later the man was doing well,his doctors said.“This case suggests that facial transplantation might be an option for restoring a severely disfigured face,and could enable patients to bring themselves back into society,” Shuzhong Guo and colleagues at Xijing Hospital in China wrote.A French team described their work on a 29-year-old man who suffered from Von Recklinghausen disease,an illness that changes the shape of his face.“The man,who was not named,was given a new nose,mouth and chin in a 2007 operation.He began to work 13 months after the transplant has more function in his face and has not rejected the new tissue,”his doctors said.“Our case confirms that face transplantation is practical and effective for the correction of specific disfigurement,”Dr.Laurent Lantieri and colleagues at the Henri-Mondor hospital outside Paris wrote.1.What’s the main idea of this passage?A.Face transplants can work.B.Face transplants help regain confidence.C.Three people have received face transplants.D.Disfigured people need face transplants.2.What happened to the Chinese patient mentioned in the passage?A.He got a strange illness when he was young.B.He received several operations in hospital.。

My belief began when I was just a kid. I dreamed of becoming a doctor.My mother was a domestic. Through her work, she observed that successful people spent a lot more time reading than they did watching television. She announced that my brother and I could only watch two to three pre-selected TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to re ad two books each from the Detroit Public Library and submit to her written book reports. She would mark them up with check marks and highlig hts. Years later we realized her marks were a ruse. My mother was illiterate. Although we had no money, between the covers of those books, I co uld go anywhere, do anything and be anybody.When I entered high school I was an A-student, but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to hang out with the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student, but I didn't care. I was getting the high fives and the low fives and the pats on the back. I was cool.One night my mother came home from working her multiple jobs and I complained about not having e nough Italian knit shirts. She said, “Okay, I' ll give you all the money I make this week scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy the family food and pay the bills. With eve rything left over, you can have all the Italian knit shirts you wan t.”I was very pleased with that arrangement but once I got through allocating mon ey, there was nothing left. I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to keep a roof over our heads and any kind of food on the tabl e, much less buy clothes. I also realized that immediate gratification wasn't going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual preparation. I w ent back to my studies and became an A-student again, and eventually I fulfilled my dream and I became a doctor.Over the years my mother's steadfast faith in God has inspired me, particularly when I had to perform extremely difficult surgical procedures or wh en I found myself faced with my own medical scare. A few years ago I discovered I had a very aggressive form of prostate cancer; I was told it might have spread to my spine. My mother was steadfast in her faith in God. She never worried. She said that God was not through with me yet;there was no way that this was going to be a major problem. The abnormality in my spine turned out to be benign; I was able to have surgery and am cured.My story is really my mother's story—a woman with little formal education or worldly goods who used her position as a parent to change the live s of many people around the globe. There is no job more important than parenting. This I believe.父母是最好的老师简单地说,我对母亲深信不疑,这打我小时候就开始了,那时我的梦想是成为一名医生。

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished .statements For each of them there are four chokes marked A. B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AWhat makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming. and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for abackground to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood. I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.56. The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was______.A. doing shoppingB. having a debateC. reading a messageD. leaving for Wyoming57. The author's inspiration for the gift came from_____.A. a photo of a flowerB. a story about a kidC. a call from the motherD. a text about Christmas58.

What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show how to design images for gifts.B. To suggest making gifts from one's heart.C. To explain how computers help create gifts.D. To describe the gifts the author has receivedBStill seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which areprobably a mere walk away from your college.King's Art CentreA day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the mostinteresting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend tees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.You could attend a class teaching you how to 'learn from the masters' or get more creative with paint ---- free of charge.The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.The Botanic GardenThe Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called 'Hissing Sid' is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.Byron's PoolMany stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University, Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of "mess and drunkenness".However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his roans. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron's Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don't trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it from Virginia Woolf- ----over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.61. As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for_____.A. attending the masters' classB. working with local artistsC. learning life drawingD. seeing an exhibition62. "Torch Aloe" and "Venus Flytrap" are_____.A. common insectsB. impressive plantsC. rarely-seen snakesD. wildlife-enthusiasts63. We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed_____.A. to fear pet bearsB. to like walkingC. to be a heavy drinkerD. to finish university in 180564. In the passage Byron's Pool is described as a lake_____..A. surrounded by fields B. owned by Lord ByronC. located in GrantchesterD. discovered by Virginia Woolf65. What is the passage mainly about?A. Some places for weekend breakB. A way to become creative in art.C. The colourful life in the countryside.D. Unknown stories of Cambridge University.CHarvard researchers have created a tough, low-cost, biodegradable (可生物降解的) material inspired by insects' hard outer shells. The material's inventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. The material, made from shrimp ('虾) shells and proteins produced from silk, is called "shrilk." It is thin, clear, flexible and strong.A major benefit of the material is its biodegradability. Plastic's toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and '60s. Decades later, however, plastic's very durability (耐用性) is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or short-lived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries. What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years?Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill, but its basic components are used as fertilizer(肥料), and so will enrich the soil.Shrilk has great potential, the inventors said. Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants. That makes shrilk low cost, and its mass production possible should it be used for products demanding a lot of material.Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so they're exploring ways to use it in wet environments.

Today, rivers are controlled for many reasons, primarily to maintain reliable water supplies for daily, agricultural and industrial needs, for power generation, for navigation (航行), and to prevent flooding.River control is achieved by channelization, a term that covers a range of river engineering works, including widening, deepening, straightening and stabilization of banks, and by the construction of dams.An important period of channelization took place in Europe during the l9'th century, when many large rivers were straightened and their beds deepened. One of the most dramatically changed was the Tisza River, a branch of the Danube that flows through Hungary. The controlling of the Tisza, designed to reduce flooding and make land for agriculture, included cutting off more than 100 meanders (河曲), shortening the river's length by nearly 400 kilometers.One of the most common ways in which people control rivers is by damming them. The past 50 years or so has seen an increase in dam construction worldwide, and at the beginning of the 21st century, there were about 800,000 dams globally, some towering more than 200 meters in height.Despite their successes, many dams also cause significant environmental changes that prove harmful. Some particularly deep reservoirs (水库) can bring about earthquakes due to the stress on their bottom rocks caused by huge volumes of water. Downstream of a reservoir, the river is certainly influenced inmany ways: water volume, speed and quality are all affected, leading to changes in the landscape and among plants and animals.Section B (10 mark.)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.A wise teacher once told me that every teenager needs to experience a not-so-fun first job from working at a grocery store to the fast food industry.Now I still remember my first day at a fast food restaurant three years ago. I wanted to save up money and buy my own car, so I applied everywhere I could that summer. The restaurant called me right away and I thought to myself, this is going to be easy. Within four hours of my first shift (.轮班),I had angry customers who complained how slow I was. I watched in fear as a kid spilled his milk everywhere, and I heard the words that no 16-year-old boy or anyone for that matter wants to hear "Mike, there's a problem in the men's bathroom and you might want gloves for this one." I realized right away that working at the restaurant was not going to be a picnic. The manager expected a clean environment and particularly, fast service with a friendly smile.Over three years later I still work at that restaurant whenever I go home during vacations. I love my co-workers there and all the customers know who I am. Every morning the same senior citizens come in and get their morning coffees. They chat with us workers and joke around. Our smiles have just as much to do with them making us a part of their everyday lives as the coffee does.From my first job at the restaurant, I learned teamwork and devotion. I also learned staying positive no matter how roughthings seem to get. I will forever carry the experience that I gained at the restaurant with me as I go forward in my life.81.
