AWhen you're on the go, your best friend and resource can be your phone. In the age of smart phones, apps arelike guiding stars: They can point you in the right direction for a hotel, list expenses, send postcards, and much more. When used together, these apps can be the basic travel tool, placing a wealth of information at your fingertips no matter where you are on the planet. U.S. News Travel has picked the essential travel apps, known for their utility and reliability. Best of all, they cost absolutely nothing.Trip ItYour Personal Travel AgentBe your own travel agent and plan every detail of your trip —from car rental to accomadating restaurants —with Trip It. You can make travel schedule by hand, or simply forward the email confirmations of your flight, rental car, train tickets, and hotels to plans.Weather FreeYour Go-To Meteorologist(气象学者)Stop trying to explain the weather forecast on the evening news (particularly when it's in a foreign language). The Weather Free app informs you (in English) of the climate in various locations. It features the local weather, and other key factors that will inform your decision about what to wear before stepping outside.GobyYour Event GuruWhen you're in a foreign city, you sometimes look around and ask: Where are all the people? Goby has the answer. This app pinpoints the neighborhood hot spots (including museums, hotels, eateries, and more) in your neighborhood. But its true value comes in finding nearby events. You'll discover concerts, plays, and more right around the corner.21. What is the advantage of using travel apps picked by the U.S. News Travel?A. They can solve any problem you come across.B. They reduce your travel budget.C. They exercise your fingertips.D. They are reliable and free of charge.22. With the help of the travel apps used together, travelers can do the following things EXCEPT__________.A. rent a carB. decide what to wear 湖北省 华师一附中 黄冈中学 黄石二中 荆州中学襄阳四中 襄阳五中 孝感高中 鄂南高中 八校C. look for a friend while travelingD. find the nearby museums23. Where are the readers likely to read the passage above?A. In a geography textbookB. In a science and technology magazineC. On a popular websiteD. In a business reportBBorn in the State of New York on May 14th, 1984, Mark Zuckerberg was an instant success. In his high school years, he was considered one of top students in the classics, before moving into the arts, sciences, and literature, again picking up high marks and receiving academic praise. It earned him admission to Harvard University.As a rebellious yet relatively quiet student, he created a website called Facemash in the university–an instantly controversial website that encouraged students to rate each other based on appearance.The site was controversial for several reasons. The first was its illegal use of photographs, which the university and students took issue with. The second was its controversial nature –not every student like being ranked based on their appearance. The third was its huge resource use – while it was hosted on Harvard servers, it was the most popular page in the university’s en tire network.Zuckerberg was soon forced to shut the site down, but its popularity and controversy had made him consider its future potential. He soon turned the simple site into a personal one for Harvard students, encouraging them to network with their peers at the college. It was then, together with his two friends, that they launched “The Facebook‖, which immediately spread to other colleges and grew into a public service that anyone could access in the United States, whether to network with friends and family, or to play games.The company has been criticized frequently, nevertheless, Zuckerberg has remained true to his initial vision –to create a website that the entire world can use to communicate openly and easily with one another and to keep the user experience clean and pure. The end result is one of the world’s biggest online businesses.Although its true value is debatable, it’s safe to say that Facebook, and its creator Mark Zuckerberg, are two of the twenty-first century’s most infl uential, controversial, and potentially powerful figures.24. When Mark Zuckerberg was a student, he_____________________.A. was often praised by teachers for the website he createdB. had good academic performanceC. alone created a website called FacebookD. encouraged students to set up business like him25. The reason why Zuckerberg shut the site down was probably that__________.A. his website was not popularB. he was doubted for the way he used photographsC. he needed time to reconsider his choiceD. he stole resource on Harvard server26.Which words can best describe Zuckerberg?A. easy-going and smart.B. quiet and shy.C. talented and outgoing.D. rebellious and creative.27. The best title of the passage should be________________.A. Mark Zuckerberg and his FacebookB. The Foundation of FacebookC. A Talent from Harvard UniversityD. The Development of FacebookCHave you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child – a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or ―blast from the past,‖ as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of ―listen-and-repeat‖ learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh’s website Dr. Ludke writes, ―This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.‖28. The ―song‖ mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to__________.A. recall the pastB. attract the readersC. introduce the topicD. compare the childhood with the present29. According to the passage which language doesn’t share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?A. HungarianB. SpanishC. ItalianD. English30. Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that __________A. singing is the best way to learn a language.B. the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words.C. a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner.D. Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other.31. In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?A. A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.B. A child is going to have his first music lesson.C. A student is going to learn a new English song.D. An American is going to learn some Chinese.DWalt Disney World is banning selfie-sticks from its theme parks because selfie-sticks have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast," Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said.Under a new policy, which takes effect Tuesday, the poles won’t make it past the bag check at any Disney World theme park. The sticks also won't be allowed in Disney World water parks or Disney Quest, a gaming attraction at Downtown Disney. Selfie-sticks will also become forbidden at Disneyland Resort in California on June 30. The prohibition begins at Disney's parks in Paris and Hong Kong on July 1.Guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks' entrances. They will have an option of turning in their selfie-sticks for pick-up later or to go back to their cars or hotel rooms to keep them. Visitors will be told of the policy in locations such as the parking lots and at the resort's hotels. The prohibition will be added to the park rules post on Disney World's website.The issue has been building at Disney. Previously, the sticks were prohibited from its rides, and "no selfie-sticks" signs were at select rides, such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. Cast members have given oral warnings to rule breakers.Selfie-stick users put smartphones and cameras on the ends of poles to extend their reach, frequently capturing theme-park moments through self-portraits. The tools have been banned in public places –including some museums and stadiums – worldwide for obstructing views or causing safety issues.Disney World already prohibits items such as skateboards, inline skates, wagon, folding chairs and glass containers, according to its o fficial website, which also lists ―other items that we determine may be harmful .‖Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks and other loose items from certain thrill rides at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks, but it has not set parkwide bans.32.Which of the following objects has already been banned in Disney theme parks before the new policy takes effect?A. smart phonesB. folding chairsC. camerasD. containers33. According to the ban, if the guests are found carrying selfie-sticks during the routine bagcheck, they may __________.A. abandon them at the bag checkB. get fined and pick them up laterC. turn them in to the policeD. put them in the trunk of their cars34. The underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably means__________.A. changingB. broadeningC. blockingD. narrowing35. According to the passage, it can be inferred that__________A. the ban on the use of selfie-sticks is aimed at ensuring security.B. previously guests can take photos with selfie-sticks on thrill rides.C. the staff in Disneyland will inform visitors of the ban only orally.D. Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks parkwide.第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Ad 4.BWinston Churchill is probably the most popular British prime minister ever. Having served his country as a soldier and politician, he is often considered among the greatest of Britons. But while his heroic stand against the Nazis is well known, there are still a few facts about the popular politician that might surprise you.The classic image of Winston Churchill includes a giant cigar stuck between his lips. However, he almost never took a puff, preferring to chew on the end until it went out, then relight it and start again.Although it’s somewhat overshadowed by his political career, Winston Churchill was an accomplished writer. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953. His first book was The Story of the Malakand Field Force, a first-hand account of a military campaign in what is now Pakistan. Funnily enough, there was an American writer named Winston Churchill active at the same time.Interestingly, both Churchills published their first books in 1898, although the American Churchill was the first to become famous for his writing. Unsurprisingly, he would finally be eclipsed (使黯然失色) by the fame of his British counterpart and is almost forgotten today. But at the time, the two writers were often confused with each other. To avoid further difficulty, the two Churchills eventually agreed that the British Churchill w ould publish as “Winston S. Churchill” while the American would simply go by “Winston Churchill”.In December 1931, Churchill was in New York. While crossing the street, he was hit by a car. As it turned out, Churchill had instinctively looked to the right when he wanted to cross. However, since cars drive on opposite sides of the road in America and Britain, he should actually have looked left. Instead, he stepped serenely into the path of an oncoming car.Fortunately, he played down the severity of the injuries. He also accepted all the blame for the accident, informing the police that the driver was innocent and securing his release. Afterwards, Churchill managed to talk his doctor into writing him a note stating that “The post-accident concussion (撞击) of Winston S. Churchill necessitates the use of alcoholic spirits, especially at meal times.”24. The underlined word “overshadow” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.A. to hideB. to promoteC. to bring shame onD. to make… small by c omparison25. Which of the following is true of Churchill?A. He preferred political career to writing.B. His first book is about the war against Nazis.C. His popularity seemed not to be affected by his image of smoking cigar.D. He had a fight with the American Churchill over the use of their names.26. From the car accident, we know Churchill was a ________ man.A. lovingB. carelessC. sympatheticD. strong-willed27. What may the paragraph that follows talk about?A. Church ill’s other kindness.B. Churchill’s political achievement.C. Some other anecdotes of Churchill.D. Churchill’s popularity in international communityCNobody likes an old poop (傻子). Developing a sense of humor is part of becoming a mature, emotionally healthy individual. Laughter is good for the soul, builds friendships and relieves stress. It serves as the glue for social situations and as an ice-breaker for sadness and boredom. If you’ve ever been told to “lighten up” or “chill out”, you should save the blue attitude for serious situations and develop your sense of humor.Forgive the accidental. A sudden fall is humorous not because we like to see people fall, but because it sur prises. From a spilled water glass in a meeting to Aunt Rae’s teeth coming off in the Thanksgiving turkey, the embarrassment of accidents can be relieved by humor and a helping hand. After making sure that nobody’s hurt, forgive accidents with a chuckle (咯咯地笑) rather than a scolding.Look for the unexpected. The kid who used to look at you with his eyes closed during a test had the idea. Parents who serve green eggs and ham to their children on graduation day get the idea. Unexpected actions lighten an atmosphere and relax people.Learn to laugh with your kids. Most of what children say and do is funny. Help them learn that accidents are sometimes funny and sometimes occasions for joining in and helping another human being. By sharing laughs and attempting to explain humor, you develop your sense of humor, as well as help kids develop their own sense of humor.28. If you’ve ever been told to “lighten up” or “chill out”, it means ________.A. you are blueB. you are funnyC. you lack humorD. you are humorous29. According to Paragraph 2, when your friend falls, you can ________.A. chuckleB. scold himC. laugh at himD. feel embarrassed30. In the author’s opinion, if your mother serves green eggs and h am to you on your graduation day, she is________.A. boringB. seriousC. humorousD. considerate31. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Function of HumorB. Proper Attitudes towards HumorC. How to Develop a Sense of HumorD. Ways to Become a Healthy IndividualDThe regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana (大麻). That is the statement of researchers who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to 10 points off the user’s IQ. This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have described the phenomenon of im proved stupidity as “infomania”. The research conducted by Hewlett Packard, the technology company, has concluded that it is mainly a problem for adult workers, especially men.It is concluded that too much use of modern technology can damage a person’s mind. It can cause a constant distraction of “always on” technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do. Infomania means that they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the task in hand. The report also added that, in a long term, the brain will be considerably shaped by what we do to it and by the experience of daily life. At a microcellular level, the complex networks of nerve cells that make up parts of the brain actually change in response to certain experiences.Too much use of modern technology can be damaging not only to a person’s mind, but to their social relationship. 1,100 adults were interviewed during the research. More than 62 per cent of them admitted that they were addicted to checking their e-mails and text messages so often that they scrutinized work-related ones even when at home or on holiday. Half said that they always responded immediately to an email and will even interrupt a meeting to do so. It is concluded that infomania is increasing stress and anxiety and affecting one’s characteristics. Nine out of ten thought that colleagues who answered e-mails ormessages during a face-to-face meeting were extremely rude.The effects on IQ were studied by Dr Glenn Wilson, a psychologist at University of London. “This is a very real and widespread phenomenon,” he said. “We have found that infomania will damage a worker’s performance by reducing their mental sharpness and changing their social life. Companies should encourage a more balanced and appropriate way of working.”32. We can learn from the passage that “infomania” ________.A. has a positive influence on one’s IQB. results in the change of part of the brainC. lies in the problem of lack of concentrationD. is caused by too much use of modern technology33. The research mentioned in the passage is most probably about ________.A. the important function of advanced technologyB. the damage to one’s b rain done by unhealthy habitsC. the relevance between IQ and use of modern technologyD. the relationship between intelligence and working effectiveness34. The underlined word “scrutinized” probably means “________”.A. copied patientlyB. corrected quicklyC. answered hurriedlyD. examined carefully35. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Modern technology can damage a person’s mind.B. Electronic messages have side effects on the user’s life.C. The regular use of text messages and e-mails can harm your IQ.D. The regular use of text messages and e-mails can be compared to smoking marijuana.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Your teenage best friend could be good for your long-term mental health, according to a new study published in the journal Child Development According to the findings, teenagers aged 15 to 16 who had a close friendship rather than a larger group of friends they were less close to had a greater sense of self-worth by the time they were 25 years old. Those people with a very close best friend were also less likely to experience depression and social anxiety, the study found. "Close friendship strength in mid-adolescence predicted relative increases in self-worth and decreases in anxiety and depressive symptoms by early adulthood, "the authors, led by Rachel K, Narr, a postdoctoral student focused on clinical psychology at the University of Virginia, wrote.A past research has suggested that adolescent friendships are important. Friendships during the teenage years predict academic success and improved mental health. But the new research further explores the type of friendships teenagers have. "My hunch(预感)was that close friendships compared to broader friendship groups and popularity may not function the same way," Narr told Quartz. "Being successful in one is not the same as being successful in the other." Many study participants did not continue to have a close relationship with their high-school best friend, leading the researchers to wonder what exactly was responsible for the mental health benefits. They suspected that the skills and ability to build such a friendship may be more important than the friendship itself.And as the researchers point out, those skills are not necessarily brought to bear in the world of social media. "As technology makes it increasingly easy to build a social network of shallow friends, focusing time and attention on developing close connections with a few individuals should be a priority," study co-author Joseph Allen said in a statement.(1)What is the benefit of having a close teenage friendship?A. Excellent performance in high school.B. A larger group of friends.C. Mental health by early adulthood.D. A large social network in the future.(2)What can we learn about the past research?A. It attached great significance to adolescent friendships.B. It was totally different from the new research.C. It helped improve teenagers' mental health.D. It compared broader friendship groups with popularity.(3)What did the researchers think might lead to the mental health benefits?A. Not continuing to have a close relationship.B. Having a best friend in high school.C. Understanding the world of social media.D. Knowing how to build a close friendship (4)What did the researcher Joseph suggest?A. Learning to use social media.B. Broadening your social circle.C. Improving the skills of making friends.D. Concentrating on high-quality relationship.【答案】(1)C(2)A(3)D(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,研究发现,那些有非常亲密的好朋友的人也不太可能经历抑郁和社交焦虑。

AIt does not have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make the most out ofyour day. Every day is a new day and a fresh start to learn, grow, develop your strengths, free yourself from past regrets or hurts, and move forward older and wiser. Every day gives you a chance to reinvent (重新审视) yourself. It is never too late to change things that arenotworking in your life.Each day is a new beginning and a piece of blank paper. How would you like to create your day? What would you like to paint on it? If you wake up in a negative mind, you are more likely to paint a dark picture throughout the day, and your picture will not show hope, happiness and joy.If you take each day to think actively, and have a positive intention (意图;目的)for how you would like to create your day, how would your life be different? What can daily positive intentions do for you? Every day you will give yourself the gift of an“attitude of gratitude (感恩)”.Each day is a chance to look at things in a different way. You can experience each day in the beauty of the world —and the beauty of you who are in it! You find yourself changing from “I can't” to “I can”. With a focus on positive intentions, you feel you are full of power and more like a “winner” than a “loser”.You pay more attention to the present, and will be more likely to live fully inthe present each moment of each day. After all, the past is a great place to visit, but you don't want to live there! So how about starting each day taking a moment to think of a positive intention for the day? 1.The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.A. learning is helpful in reinventing ourselvesB. January 1st is the most important dayC. we should make every day a new startD. we needn't change ourselves at all2.If you have daily positive intentions, you will ________.A. have a busy lifeB. get a positive resultC. get gifts from othersD. be a complete loser3.From the passage we can learn that ________.A. positive intentions for each day are of great helpB. think actively and you will be a winner, not a loserC. the present is not where you should live for everD. past regrets or hurts can make you older and wiserBEveryone wants to know the secrets of a long and healthy life. Here are some discoveries from health experts.Many studies looking into the lives of centenarians(百岁老人) look at what they eat. Many people who live into their hundreds live in the Mediterranean (地中海), so their diet, which is high in fruits,vegetables, nuts, and healthy fats like olive oil, gets a lot of attention. The diet has been linked to ahealthier older age, lower risk for heart disease, and even protection against memory loss.Education is related to a longer life. A 2012 report from the CDC‟s National Center for Health Statistics found that people with a bachelor‟s degree or higher live about ni ne years longer than people who don‟t graduate high school. James Smith, a health economist at the RAND Corporation, is also a supporter of the argument for staying in school for better life expectancy. His findings show education should be an even bigger factor than race and income. Educated people are more likely to land better jobs, plan for their future, and make healthier lifestyle choices.Being a hard worker doesn‟t necessarily mean job-stress will harm you. The Longevity (长寿)Study found that plenty of hard workers lived long lives. “Skeptics(怀疑者) may wonder if hard workers really are enjoying life.” the authors write, “We found that productive, hardworking people (even in old age) are not stressed or miserable, but tend to be happier, healthier, and more socially connected than their less productive peers.”Having a strong social group is associated with a longer life. We often turn to friends and family for support, and taking care of the people that matter to us may help us take better care of ourselves, some evidence shows. Some research even suggests that immune(免疫) function isimproved when we are around our friends, and that they help with stress management.Research shows that sitting for long period of time put people at risk for shorter lifespans and other health risks. A 2011 study found that each hour people spent sitting down and watching TV after age 25 was linked to 22 minutes from their overall life expectancy.4. The second paragraph mainly tells us that_______.A. Diet matters a lot to a long lifeB. People attach great importance to a long lifeC. Fruits and vegetables benefit healthD. Life styles play a role in health5. According to James Smith, which makes the greatest difference to a long life?A. RaceB. IncomeC. EducationD. Diet6. From the fourth paragraph, we know_____.A. Hard workers suffer from greater stressB. Less productive workers tend to be happier and healthierC. Hard workers are likely to enjoy a longer lifeD. Nobody doubts that hard workers really are enjoying life7. The passage is mainly about ________.A. diet and healthB. some discoveries on healthC. the value of good educationD. the secret of a happy lifeCSri Lanka is known as the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean”, and it is easy to see why. This little country never fails to please visitors.ArriveThe national airline is Sri Lankan Airlines, which flies from Colombo to London and a couple of other European cities. The country‟s main airport is Colombo Bandaranaike, located 29km north of the capital city.Why now?The best time to visit Sri Lanka‟s southern beaches is from November to April. So by going early in the season, you‟ll get the best weather. Also in November, Deepavali, known as “Diwali” or the “Festival of Lights”, is Sri Lanka‟s main religiousf estival, celebrated throughout the country. SeeThere is plenty to see in Sri Lanka. The ancient capital cities of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura are worth seeing, and so are many outstanding ruins. Other must-sees are the rock fortress (要塞) of Sigiriya, tow ering over the jungle as far as the eye can see, and Dambulla‟s cave temple, the country‟s largest and best preserved. Both are UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) Sites. Kandy is a picture-like town, which was the last stronghold of the Kandyan Kings. Today it is a cultural relic centre where age-old customs, arts, and crafts remain.DoSri Lanka owns about 1,600km of beautiful palm-shaded beaches as well as warm, pure seas and colorful coral reefs. You can explore the underwater world, and surfing and diving are available too. Away from the shore, wildlife is a big draw for Sri Lanka, and Yala National Park is one of the best places in the word to see wild animals including leopards (豹) and elephants.TasteSri Lanka is celebrated for its excellent food, with a particular emphasis on fresh fruit and vegetables on menus everywhere. Fish and seafood are a big part of the local diet.Did you know?Sri Lanka is known for its tea, but it i s also the world‟s largest producer and exporter of cinnamon(肉桂).8. Which of the following is a cultural relic centre of Sri Lanka?A. Anuradhapura.B. Kandy.C. Polonnaruwa.D. Colombo.9. If you want to know something about “Diwali”, you‟d b etter go there in .A. September.B. October.C. November.D. May.10. We learn from the passage that Sri Lanka .A. is in the Pacific OceanB. has only flights to LondonC. is the world‟s largest producer of teaD.is famo us for its excellent food11. The author wrote the article in order to .A. introduce the picturesque(如画的)landscape of Sri Lanka.B. let readers know what is famous for in Sri Lanka.C. make Sri Lanka well known throughout the world.D. let people get more travel information about Sri Lanka.DIf we are to help students develop reading skills in a foreign language, it is important to understand what is involved in the reading process itself. If we have a clear idea of how “good readers” read, either in their own or a foreign language, this will enable us to decide whether particular reading techniques are likely to help learners or not.In considering the reading process, it is important to distinguish(区别)between two quite separate activities reading for meaning (or “silent reading”) and reading aloud. Reading for meaning is the activity we normally engage in(从事于/参加)when we read books, newspapers, road signs, etc.; it is what you are doing as you read this text. It involves looking at sentences and understanding the message they convey, in other words “making sense” of a written text. It doesn‟tnormally involve saying the words we read, not even silently inside our heads.Reading aloud is a completely different activity; its purpose is not just to understand a text but to convey the information to someone else. It is not an activity we engage in very often outside the classroom; common examples are reading out parts of a newspaper article to a friend, or reading a notice to other people who can‟t see it. Obviously, reading aloud involves looking at a text, understanding it and also saying it. Because our attention is divided between reading and speaking, it is a much more difficult activity than reading silently; we often stumble and make mistakes when reading aloud in our own language, and reading aloud in a foreign language is even more difficult.When we read for meaning, we do not need to read every letter or every word, nor even every word in each sentence. This is because, if the text makes sense, we can guess much of what it says as we read it.12. The passage is mainly about ____________.A. reading skillsB. reading processesC. silent readingD. reading aloud13. The underlined word “stumble” in Paragraph 3 means ____________.A. step over something and fallB. walk with heavy movementsC. repeat something or pause for too long.D. speak in a fluent and confident way14. We can infer from the passage that the author will continue to ____________.A. discuss in detail how to read aloudB. introduce some more reading activitiesC. tell how good readers read in their own languageD. explain why we needn‟t say the words when reading for meaning15. We can conclude that ____________.A. reading silently is easier than reading aloudB. to understand a sentence, you have to read all the words in itC. silent reading involves looking at a text and saying the words silently to yourselfD. there‟s no difference between reading in one‟s own language and in a foreign one第二节阅读填空 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)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,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

Males and females 65 different behaviors almost from birth. Researchers say these behaviors are due to 66 differences in brain structure and activity. Studies show men are better at hitting targets (靶⼦)and solving math problems 67 women are better at memorizing words and 68 faces. Why the differences?A test of the brain’s electrical activity shows that women commonly use both sides of their brain while men rely more on one. Scientists already know that the two sides of the brain control different functions —one controlling the sense of space, 69 , the other controlling language. Some researchers believe that the different ways men and women use their brains 70 from ancient times, when cave men hunted and women 71 the children. Men had to have good aim. Women had to talk to the kids. Whatever the 72 , the battle of the sexes continues. And although their brains are constructed slightly differently, men and women may be equally capable. They may simply 73 different abilities. Take a couple arguing over the location of their car in a parking lot. The man might use his sense of 74 to find it, while the woman relies on her memory of landmarks. Both of them find the car. But chances are, they’ll still argue about who’s the better driver and who’s better at finding the way home.65. A. build B. form C. choose D. show66. A. basic B. average C. great D. exact67.

Reading Comprehension.AAs the world watched the twin towers of the World Trade Center come under attack, a common phrase was repeated:“It looks like a movie.”But this time there was no superman to save the people or the famous building. The attack destroyed one of the wor ld’s highest skyscrapers and left 5,000 people dead or missing.Movie fans have become used to such events after years of Hollywood films showing disasters, terrorism(恐怖主义) and danger, The Empire State Building, the White House, New York City and even the American president himself have all beenincluding explosions and missiles, make the action look like a real thing.“Independence Day”in 1996 took this type of movie one step further by blowing up the White House. This science fiction movie is about a war between human beings and aliens(外来⼈) from another planet. In the movie, the World Trade Center towers are destroyed.Violence has become a major part of Hollywood movies. And this is what people enjoy. Soon after the attacks, many famous film companies stopped the planned releases of some of their new movies, especially if their films showed terrorist attacks or plane crashes. “Swordfish” was top of the American box office in June, 2001. But the movie’s story was frighteningly similar to the Sept.11 disaster. The film would have been stopped in American and British cinemas after the attack.But it’s unlikely that Hollywood will stay quiet for long. It is already waiting for the feeling in America to calm down.75. What is the main subject of the newspaper article?A.The relationship between the Sept.11 attack and Hollywood films.B.The effect of the Sept.11 attack on Hollywood filmsC.The response Hollywood made to the Sept.11 attack.D.The result of Hollywood films showing violence and disasters.76.

From this article we know that .A.Hollywood is a filmmaking center making films of violence and disasters。

But when he was 17, he had to drop out of high school to help support his family.Joe worked inn construction, on the railroad, served in the army. For 20 years, he was a custom-maker, than an assembly-line worker and a welder(焊工) in his hometown of Philadelphia. But he hung on to his dream of going back to school.Crossing the campus of the University of Pennsylvania on his way to work every morning, he made up his mind that some day, he would go there.In 1979, at age 48, Joe was laid off from his welding job. He decided it was time to make his dream come true. Now the unemployed father of 12 and grandfather of 7 decided to aim for a Ph.D. in computer and information science. His wife, Vickie, said,〞Go ahead.〞She had no doubts that her husband would make it, even though it would mean long hours of study.Joe passed the high school-equivalency test and enrolled at Community College of Philadelphia, where he took all the math courses he could. In 1981, after earning a degree at Community College, he applied for admission to the University of Pennsylvania.His determination persuaded university officials to admit him as sophomore(二年级学生) to study computer math and to give him financial.Today, at 55, Joe holds a B.A degree in computer math. He has nearly completed work on his master’s and next fall plans to start on that Ph.D.Officials at Peen add that Joe has given them something in return. Says Valarie Swain, executive assistant to the provost(学院院长), “I’ve never had a student at any level who inspired me more than Joe.〞65.Joe Jones has _________ children.A. 8B. 12C. 19D. 766.Before he decided to aim for a Ph.D, Joe was a ________.A. railroad workerB. welderC. soldierD. spray painter67.Joe’s wife_________.A. persuade him to go to schoolB. prevented him from going to schoolC. encouraged him to make his dream come trueD.forced him to go to school68.

The student who valued learned another language is ________.A. Linda MarksB. Sara SmallC. Tom JenningsD. Leanne Smythe(C)Andrew Baker is the CEO(Chief Executive Officer) of Castle Computer Corporation, a successful computer company. He is well known in the computer field as a brilliant and creative executive, but he is also known as a disorganized and last minute-type person, perhaps because he is a procrastinator〔拖延者〕. As a result, company employees are always in a state of confusion and instability, and deadlines for production schedules are almost never met. The fourth-quarter earning statement has just come out, andprofits are way down.Deborah Jackson, who has been Mr. Baker’s executive assistant for one year, recently attended a two-day time management workshop. She had hoped to discuss the comcepts of effective time management with Mr. Baker, but when she brought up the subject, he laughed and said time management was the least of his problems. He was working on a plan for test-marketing the new Castle laptop computer, which Marcia Lee, the Marketing and Sales Vice President, had asked him to revise. In addition, he was redesigning the new laser printer that the Research and Development Division had just developed, and solving a personnel problem that the Director of Human resources and Administration had brought to him.Deborah knows that Mr. Baker, who has been with the company since its founding, likes to keep an eye on every department and stay in daily contact with all his division managers. However, she can see the results of Mr. Baker’s “micromanagement〞style and poor time management. In fact, she is considering asking for a meeting with the Chief Operating Officer of Castle Computer Corporation, Harry Webb, to voice her concerns about the future of the company under Mr. Baker’s leadership. Although Deborah has a great deal of respect for Mr. Baker, she is completely worn out from her daily struggle to keep him on schedule. If only Mr Baker would delegate some of his responsibilities and set priorities. In Deborah’s eyes, Caltle Computer Corporation is being under-led and overmanaged.72.According to the passage, what aspects of CEO will influence the company most?A. AppearanceB. Working style.C. DevotionD. Commitment.73.Which of the following is most suitable to describe Andrew Baker’s character?A. Practice makes perfect.B. Haste makes waste.D.Procrastination is the thief of the time. D. Silence is golden.74.How did Andrew Baker respond to his assistant’s opinion?A. He struggled it off.B. He was greatly shocked.C. He refused to admit it.D. He accepted it with reservation.75. At present what does Deborah concern most?A. The future of the company.B. The profits of the company.C. The poor management of the company.D. The employees of the company.(D)NASDAQ, acronym for the National Association of Securities Dealers automated Quotation system, is one of the largest markets in the world for the trading of stocks. The number of companies listed on NASDAQ is more than that on any of the other stock exchange in the United States, including the New York Stock Exchange(NYSE) and the American Stock Exchange (AMSE). The majority of companies listed on NASDAQ are smaller than most of those on the NYSE and AMEX. NASDAQ has become known as the home of new technology companies, particularly computer and computer-related businesses. Trading on NASDAQ is started by stock brokers(经纪人) acting on behalf of their clients. The brokers negotiate with market makers who concentrate on trading specific stocks to reach a price for the stock.Unlike other stock exchange, NASDAQ has no central location where trading takes place. Instead, its market makers are located all over the country and make trades by telephone and via the Internet. Because brokers and market makers trade stocks directly instead of on the floor of a stock exchange, NASDAQ is called an over-the-counter market. The term over-the –counter refers to the direct nature of the trading, as in a store where goods are handed over a counter.Since its inception(开市) in 1971, the NASDAQ Stock Market has been the innovator(创新者). As the world’s first electronic stock market, NASDAQ long ago set a precedent(先例) for technological trading innovation that is unrivaled. Now ready to become the world’s first truly global market, the NASDAQ Stock Market is the market of choice for business industry leaders worldwide. By providing an efficient environment for raising capital NASDAQ has helped thousands of companies achieve their desired growthand successfully make the leap into public ownership.76. What is TRUE of NASDAQ?A.It is the largest stock market in the world.B.IT lists only small companies.C.It lists all the new technology companies.D.It lists the biggest number of companies.77. The word〞negotiate〞(Line 12,Para.1) means ________.A. discussB. argueC. interfereD. cope78. NASDAQ is also known as an over-the –counter market because it seems______.A. a stock marketB. a stock exchangeC. a counterD. a store79. Since its founding in 1971, NASDAQ has contributed to ______.A.raising money for many companiesB.creating an efficient environment for many companiesC.the expected development of many companiesD.the unexpected development of many companies(E)A.Beauty and healthB.Beauty and the beachC.Black and whiteD.Facing the factsE.Think twiceF.Supporting evidence80.____________For those of us who lead busy lives, it’s very tempting to take a short cut to looking good. Why bother to keep fit and have a balanced diet when you can look good the easy way? But before you decide that looking after yourself is all too much effort, think again.81.___________There’s nothing like a suntan to make you feel good. Spend all day doing nothing on a beautiful beach and you’ll look better at the end of it. A light tan will make you look younger and healthier, but there is increasing evidence that sunbathing and using sunbeds are directly linked to skin cancer. In the long run, it also ages the skin. If you want a tan, you may do beeter getting it out a bottle.82.__________If you want to change the color of your hair, why not just do it? A quick visit to the hairdresser can make you sunnier, more attractive and improve your self-image a great deal. The problem is how long it will last. When the dark roots start to show again, it’s back to the salon. One visits too often and you can seriously damage your hair. In the end there is a danger that it will even fall out.83.__________You may not think that a tattoo(文身) would improve your appearance, but it’s certainly fashionable, and for many people that’s the same thing. A little red rose on your shoulder can seem like a good idea at that time, but how do you get rid of it later? Worse still, there’s very real danger of getting a serious disease such as HIV or hepatitis(肝炎) from dirty needles if you go to an unqualified tattoo artist.84.__________The bad news is that if you want to look good and stay looking good, you will have to accept the facts. A hectic(发热) life style is no excuse. For the face, there’s nothing better than a good night’s sleep, because it is at night that the skin repairs itself. For the rest of your body, make sure you have a good diet and keep active. That’s all there is to it. Sorry! No one said it would be fun.第二卷〔共45分〕I.

AChoose Your One-Day Tours!Tour A—Bath & Stonehenge including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge—£37 until 26 March and £39 thereafter.Visit the city with over 2,000 years of history and Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent and the Costume Museum. Stonehenge is one of the world’s most famous prehistoric monuments dating back over 5,000 years.Tour B—Oxford & Stratford including entrance fees to the University St Mary’s Church Tower and Anne Hathaway’s house—£32 until 12 March and £36 thereafter.Oxford: Includes a guided tour of England’s oldest university city and colleges. Look over the “city of dreaming spires (尖顶)” from St Mary’s Church Tower.Stratford: Includes a guided tour exploring much of the Shakespeare wonder.Tour C—Windsor Castle & Hampton Court including entrance fees to Hampton Court Palace—£34 until 11 March and £37 thereafter.Includes a guided tour of Windsor and Hampton Court, Henry VIII’s favourite palace. Free time to visit Windsor Castle (entrance fees not included). With 500 years of history, Hampton Court was once the home of four Kings and one Queen. Now this former royal palace is open to the public as a major tourist attraction. Visit the palace and its various historic gardens, which include the famous maze (迷宫) where it is easy to get lost!Tour D—Cambridge including entrance fees to the Tower of Saint Mary the Great—£33 until 18 March and £37 thereafter.Includes a guided tour of Cambridge, the famous university town, and the gardens of the 18th century.1. Which tour will you choose if you want to see England's oldest university city?A. Tour A.B. Tour B.C. Tour C.D. Tour D.2. Which of the following tours charges the lowest fee on 17 March?A. Cambridge.B. Oxford & Stratford.C. Bath & Stonehenge.D. Windsor Castle & Hampton Court.3. Why is Hampton Court a major tourist attraction?A. It is a world-famous castle.B. It is the oldest palace in Britain.C. It used to be a well-known maze.D. It used to be the residence of royal families.BThey talk about the straw that broke the camel’s back, but really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank.I was going along fine—with instant recall of my bank PIN (密码), my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin’s birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas1”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “IHateHeartlessOilCompanies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as I added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing.I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn’t write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein.Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people’s names. You know, you form an association between a person’s characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George, Skinny George” in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it’s possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer’s greatest hits, together with the year of their release.Maybe I’ll try that one out—but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I’ll hide it in a place so secret that I’ll never remember where it is.4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?A. He fell for a marketing trick.B. He was driven mad by passwords.C. He had a serious memory disorder.D. He was rejected by the gas station.5. By mentioning Albert Einstein in paragraph 3, the author intends to .A. show how secure his passwords wereB. challenge the intelligence of scientistsC. prove the uselessness of his passwordsD. promote a more scientific password system6. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To encourage readers to use password notebooks.B. To recommend a password-remembering method.C. To complain about the trouble caused by passwords.D. To point out the importance of using complex passwords.7. What is the tone of the text?A. Inspiring.B. Indifferent.C. Humorous.D. Serious.CNew technologies tend to cause a cycle of concern, disorder, and conflict before eventually being accepted. Recent writings about artificial intelligence (AI) and other advances in computer science suggest that we are preparing to welcome the final stage of this latest round of invention.The Last Human Job, sociologist Allison Pugh’s new book centered on caregiving and human connection in the age of automation, warns readers against unreserved acceptance of these technological advances, citing “connective labor” as valuable human work that will not be easily replaced by algorithms (算法). “Absent from discussions about Al and automation,” Pugh argues, “is the impact that these systems might have on the emotional understandings we build of ourselves and others.”Pugh sets the stage by arguing for the value of human connection and the importance of both seeing and being seen by others. “Practitioners (从业者) said they gained a sense of purpose simply from the opportunity of observing people at their most defenseless,” she observes. She then provides a summary of how care work is being increasingly automated, showing how quantification and measurement have taken over many aspects of human-facing jobs, leaving little room for doctors, teachers, and others to build connection.“When one goes to a doctor or a teacher, the encounter is full of the potential for shame, a risk that makes it all the more powerful when practitioners show empathetic (同理心的) reflection,” writes Pugh. In Chapter Eight, she explains how such interactions can be done right. Research conducted by herself and others identifies three key aspects supporting connective labor: “relational design,” or how people are set up to interact with one another; “connective culture,” or shared practices and beliefs that influence how people interact; and “resource distribution,” which includes time given for interaction, worker-to-client rates, and the extent of technology and data use, among other factors.Pugh concludes by arguing that we need a social movement for connection. “We need to fight for what we might call our ‘social health’,” she maintains.8. What is the main concern of Allison Pugh’s new book?A. The impact of AI on future employment.B. The approach to living and working with AI.C. The increasing role of technology in caregiving.D. The value of connective labor in the age of automation.9. Why does the author mention “practitioners” in paragraph 3?A. To explain how to do care work.B. To argue against the automation technology.C. To prove the significance of human connection.D. To discuss the challenges of privacy in caregiving.10. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. The encounter.B. The shame.C. The risk.D. The potential.11. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The overview of Chapter Eight.B. The effective way to interact.C. The new trend of caregiving.D. The factors of avoiding shame.DAs cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you’re lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it’s unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissions, coding (编码) experiences into different categories. For example, one participant’s experience of “We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while” was assigned the categories “sitting at beach”and “listening to waves.”Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a “nature language” began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail.Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.“We’re trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it,” said Peter Kahn,a senior author of the study.12. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text?A. Pocket parks are now popular.B. Many cities are overpopulated.C. Wild nature is hard to find in cities.D. People enjoy living close to nature.13. Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories?A. To analyze the main features of the park.B. To explain why the park attracts tourists.C. To compare different types of park-goers.D. To find patterns in the visitors’ summaries.14. What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 5?A. Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.B. Young people are too busy to interact with nature.C. The same nature experience takes different forms.D. The nature language enhances work performance.15. What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn?A. Language study.B. Environmental conservation.C. Public education.D. Intercultural communication.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Any kind of 3 ride seemed to give him pleasure. 4 he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being 5 the water, moving through it, 6 it all around me. I was not a strong 7 , or one who learned to swim early, for I had my 8 . But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and 9 those summer days with my father, who 10 come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the 11 person not in swimsuit.After swimming, I would go 12 his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me 13 anything I found in his top desk drawer. Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk 14 he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn’t be playing with his15 . But my father always 16 and said easily, “Oh, no, it’s 17 .” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get 18 an ice cream.A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is19 .” And I think it is not only what we “look at once, in childhood” that determines our memories, but20 , in that childhood, looks at us.()1.A. desire B. joy C. anger D. worry()2.A. avoid B. refuse C. praise D. love()3.A. boat B. bus C. train D. bike()4.A.

He lay on a hard little bed and struggled to start breathing.Oliver fought his first battle without much assistance from the two people present at his birth. One was an old woman, who was nearly always drunk, and the other was a busy local doctor, who was not paid enough to be very interested in Oliver’s survival. ____________________ However, Oliver managed to draw his first breath, and then announced his arrival to the rest of the workhouse by crying loudly. His mother raised her pale young face from the pillow and whispered, “Let me see the child, and die.”The doctor turned away from the fire, where he had been warming his hands. “You must not talk about dying yet,” he said to her kindly. He gave her the child to hold. Lovingly, she kissed the baby on its forehead with her cold white lips, then stared wildly around the room, fell back—and died. “Poor dear!” said the nurse, hurriedly putting a green glass bottle back in the pocket of her long skirt.The doctor began to put on his coat. “The baby is weak and will probably have difficulties,” he said. “If so, give it a little milk to keep it quiet.” Then he looked at the dead woman. “The mother was a good-looking girl. Where did she come from?”“She was brought here last night,” replied the old woman. “She was found lying in the street. She’d walked some distance, judging by her shoes, which were worn to pieces. Where she came from, where she was going to, or what her name was, nobody knows.”The doctor lifted the girl’s left hand. “The old story,” he said sadly, shaking his head. “No wedding ring, I see. Ah! Good night.”And so Oliver was left with only the drunken nurse. Without clothes, under his first blanket, he could have been the child of a king or a beggar. But when the woman dressed him later in rough cotton clothes, yellow with age, he looked exactly what he was—an orphan in a workhouse, ready for a life of misery, hunger, and neglect.Oliver cried loudly. If he could have known that he was a workhouse orphan, perhaps he would have cried even more loudly.There was no one to look after the baby in the workhouse, so Oliver was sent to a special “baby farm” nearby. There, he and thirty other children rolled around the floor all day, without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing. Mrs Mann, the old woman who “looked after” them, was very experienced. She knew what was good for children, and a full stomach was very dangerous to their health. She also knew what was good for herself, so she kept for her own use the money that she was given for the children’s food. The board responsible for the orphans sometimes checked on the health of the children, but they always sent the beadle, a kind of local policeman, to announce their visit the day before. So whenever the board arrived, of course, the children were always neat and clean.This was the way Oliver was brought up. Consequently, at the age of nine he was a pale, thin child and short for his age. But despite frequent beatings by Mrs Mann, his spirit was strong, which was probably the reason why he managed to reach the age of nine at all.On Oliver’s ninth b irthday, Mr Bumble, the beadle, came to the house to see Mrs Mann. Through the front window Mrs Mann saw him at the gate, and turned quickly to the girl who worked with her.“Quick! Take Oliver and those others upstairs to be washed!” she said. Then she r an out to unlock the gate which was always kept locked.()21. According to the passage, a workhouse was where ________.A. many women died unexpectedlyB. workers helped each otherC. the poor and homeless livedD. people were only interested in money ()22. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Oliver was born into the world on a cold day.B. Many people, especially women, drank heavily at that time.C. The children in the baby farm were taken good care of.D. Doctors were usually paid too little for the work they did.()23. Which sentence is most suitable for the blank in Paragraph 2?A. Therefore, he felt very lonely in the world.B. Frightened at the sight of the two, he started to cry.C. After all, death was a common event in the workhouse.D. In fact, the world was privileged to have him in it.()24. It can be inferred that the gate of the baby farm was always kept locked in order to ________.A. protect the children inside from dangers outsideB. ensure the children were always neat and cleanC. keep the children inside working all the timeD. prevent official visitors walking in unexpectedly()25. What is the passage mainly about?A. Oliver’s early life.B. Oliver’s personality.C. Mother’s death.D. People’s selfishness.As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some time getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice no w about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was har d work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think abou t it too much or you might not do it at all.”()26. The passage tells us that .A. people seldom work long hours to make moneyB. people hardly buy more things than necessaryC. people are sure everything they own is in the right placeD. people realize there is more to life than just making money()27. When Daniel was a reporter he .A. was well paidB. disliked his jobC. missed his childrenD. lived in central London()28. Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm .A. was easy to organizeB. has improved family lifeC. was extremely expensiveD. has been a total success()29. What does the author mean by saying “the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their live s” in the second paragraph?A. People work long hours to earn their living.B. To make more money through hard work is the aim of people’s life.C. People spent too much time and money eating meals.D. Long hours of hard work occupy too much of people’s life.()30. The underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph refers to _______.A. repairing your car by yourselfB. spending money carefullyC. moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better lifeD. living in a big house in the suburbs but working somewhere else三、阅读理解填词。

However, as a child, he was fitted with artificial 5 and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first 6 , he discovered the piano. When his mom hit any note on the piano, and within one or two 7 , he′d get it. By his second birthday, he was playing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”. His father was 8 .“We m ight not play baseball, but we c an play music together.”When Patrick was at the University of Louisville, his father attended classes with him. He was also a part of the 214-member marching band!He was a blind, wheelchair-bound trumpet player; and he and his father did it together. His father worked the night shift in order to accompany his 9 band practice. Patrick says, “My dad′s my 10 .”But even more than his 11 musical talent, it was Patrick′s “ attitude of gratitude ”that touched my soul. On stage, between s ongs, he talked to the audience about his life and about how 12 he was with a great father. When his performance was over, Patrick and his father were on the stage together.

ACollege students constantly hear the praises of education. We have all become used to believing that a college education is always a guarantee of an easier life. I was nine years old when my fourth-grade teacher presented me with a task, to write down all of the things I wanted in my life. I filled my paper with things like: own a big house and have servants; be rich and have a good job. The next day my teacher handed back my p aper and in red ink she wrote: “GO TO COLLEGE.” For a long time, I was convinced that once I obtained an education, BAM! Life would be easier.However, education cannot promise all wishes, dreams, and desires. Society must reject the foolis h idea that a college education’s main purpose is to satisfy our desires and secure success. Like most challenging things, education is a gamble in which results depend entirely on people’s ability to look past their wants to see the realism and reason behind their wants.For instance, my first year of college, I took a sociology class. In class, we were taught that Third World countries were poor. We learned that our quality of life would be almost impossible for an average person in those countries. I began to examine my own desire to be rich. To always go after money felt selfish when knowing others had none at all. Learning about other society’s financial situations forced me to look beyond what I wanted.Through the process of education, everything once desired is tested. Wanting something no longer is enough; it’s more important to examine why we want it and whether we really want it. When my desire for money changed, everything changed. I stopped longing for money-driven careers and stopped valuing the people who had them. I began to examine the things I purchased and my reason for wanting them.1Education is a tool to be used to develop and advance our desires, so we can discover the things that are truly significant in life. Education is a source to expand our society to see beyond the superficial appeals and the “quick fixes” , leaving the belief of an effortless life behind in order to desire a meaningful one.1. The author’s fourth-grade teacher probably agreed that ______.A. the author was an ambitious studentB. the author should set more realistic goalsC. a college student would lead an easier lifeD. a college d egree was the key to the author’s dreams2. Why does the author mention her sociology class?A. To share her learning experiences with readers.B. To support her new understanding about education.C. To express her sympathy for people in Third World.D. To stress the importance of taking a sociology course.3. With a college education, the author ______.A. envied rich peopleB. lost interest in careerC. desired more material thingsD. stopped always seeking more wealth4. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. College education promises an effortless life.B. College education tests and guides our life desires.C. College education offers solutions to social problems.D. College education turns young people into gamblers.BDoes everyone want a challenging job? In spite of all the attention focused by the media, academicians, and social scientists on human potential and the needs of individuals, there is no evidence to support that the vast majority of workers want challenging jobs. Some individuals prefer highly complex and challenging jobs; others develop in simple, routine work.The individual-difference variable(变量)that seems to gain the greatest support for explaining who prefers a challenging job and who doesn’t is the strength of an individual’s needs for personal growth and self-direction at work. Individuals with these higher-order growth needs are more responsive for challenging work. What percentage of ordinary workers actually desire higher-order need satisfactions and will respond positively to challenging jobs? No current data is available, but a study from the 1970s estimated the figure at about 15%. Even after adjusting for changing work attitudes and the growth in white-collar jobs, it seems unlikely that the number today exceeds 40%.The strongest voice advocating challenging jobs has not been workers—it’s been professors, social science researchers, and media people. Professors, researchers, and journalists undoubtedly made their career choices, to some degree, because they wanted jobs that gave them autonomy, recognition and challenge. That, of course, is their choice. But for them, to force their needs onto the workforce in general is presumptuous (冒失的).Not every employee is looking for a challenging job. Many workers meet their higher-order2need off the job. There are 168 hours in every individual’s week. Work rarely consumes more than 30% of this time. That leaves considerable opportunities, even for individuals with strong growth needs, to find higher-order need satisfaction outside the workplace. So don’t feel you have a responsibility to create challenging jobs for all your employees. For many people, work is something that will never excite or challenge them. And they don’t expect to find their growth opportunities at work. Work is merely something they have to do to pay their bills. They can find challenges outside of work on the golf course, fishing, at their local pub, with their friends in social clubs, with their family, and the like.5. What makes people choose challenging jobs?A. Positive responses.B. Work attitudes.C. Higher-order growth needs.D. Personal self-direction.6. Who is the least likely to prefer a challenging job?A. College professors.B. Construction workers.C. Social researchers.D. Media journalists.7. The passage is intended for _______.A. job-huntersB. researchersC. graduatesD. employers8. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Not Everyone Wants a Challenging JobB. Complex Jobs Offer Growth OpportunitiesC. Employers Should Create Challenging JobsD. Challenging Jobs Give a Sense of RecognitionCJOHANNESBURG, Aug.18 (Xinhua) -- An estimated half a million South African children with disabilities ha ve been shut out of the country’s education system, a report revealed on Tuesday. The report was jointly released in Johannesburg by the Human Rights Watch at a joint event with South African Human Rights Commission.Widespread discrimination and negative attitudes against children with disabilities were identified as key barriers that have kept these children out of formal education, said the report.Elin Martinez, Researcher in the Children Rights division of the Human Rights Watch, said these barriers should be removed as a matter of urgency. “Children with disabilities are turned down in mainstream schools and asked to go to special schools where they do not belong.”said Martinez.“No one has carried out an adequate assessment to understand the best learning environment for them. They are simply sent out there and placed on the waiting list where they can wait up to four years,” added the researcher.Researchers also found that the few disabled children who made it to mainstream schools suffered physical violence and negl ect due to inadequate teachers’ training. Doreen Moluke, a mother of a child who has Down Syndrome, said she is one of many parents who have tried to place their children in school but with no success. Daniel Bakele, Africa Executive Director at the Human Rights Watch, told Xinhua that the level of discrimination revealed by the report is not acceptable and swift action is required from the government.“We urge the South African government to review its education policies and ensure that they3are impleme nted to address this challenge.” said Bakele.9. According to the report, what are the main factors that prevent children with disabilities from receiving formal education?A. Lack of fund.B. Lack of facilities.C. Discrimination and negative attitudes.D. Lack of fund and facilities.10. According to Daniel Bakele, __________.A. the teachers are to blame for the situation.B. the level of discrimination against disabled children is not acceptableC. people should accept the level of discrimination against disabled children.D. it’s common for disabled children to wait a few years to enter main stream schools.11.
