AI love charity shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution,selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you won't find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods.The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity's appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful that it had been flooded with donations. They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My favorite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children's books, all 10 or 20 pence each.Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don't encourage this, rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open.The shops have very low running costs, and all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than ￡110 million a year, funding medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better places to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and step lightly on the environment.46. The author loves the charity shop mainly because of ______.A. its convenient locationB. its great variety of goodsC. its spirit of goodwillD. its nice shopping environment47. The first charity shop in the UK was set up to ______ .A. sell cheap productsB. deal with unwanted thingsC. raise money for patientsD. help a foreign country48.

The underlined word “it”in the second paragraph refers to ______ ?A. the famous charity's appealB. the first charity shopC. postwar GreeceD. the famous charity: OxfamBWhy does most of the world travel on the right side today? Theories differ, but there's no doubt Napoleon was a major influence. The French have used the right since at least the late18th century. Some say that before the French Revolution, noblemen drove their carriages on the left, forcing the peasants to the right. Regardless of the origin, Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered, including Russia, Switzerland and Germany. Hitler, in turn, ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s. Nations that escaped right-hand control, like Great Britain, followed their left-hand tradition.The U.S. has not always been a nation of right-hand drivers; earlier in its history, carriage and horse traffic travelled on the left, as it did in England. But by the late 1700s, people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift (改变) to the right. A driver would sit on the rear (后面的) left horse in order to wave his whip (鞭子) with his right hand; to see opposite traffic clearly, they travelled on the right.One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U.S. occurred in the 20th century, when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left ( the reason was stated in a 1908 catalog: the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge, especially...if there is a lady to be considered).Once these rules were set,many countries eventually adjusted to the right-hand standard, including Canada in the 1920s, Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970.The U.K. and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the Western world's few remaining holdouts(坚持不变者).Several Asian nations, including Japan, use the left as well—though many places use both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.51. Why did people in Switzerland travel on the right?A. They had used the right-hand traffic since the 18th century.B. Rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right.C. Napoleon introduced the right-hand traffic to this country.D. Hitler ordered them to go against their left-hand tradition.52. Of all the countries below, the one that travels on the right is ______.A. AustriaB. EnglandC. JapanD. Australia53. Henry Ford produced cars with controls on the left ______.A. in order to change traffic directions in the U.S.B. so that passengers could get off convenientlyC. because rules at that time weren't perfectD. though many countries were strongly against that54; According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Before the French Revolution, all the French people used the right.B. People in Britain and the U.S. travel on the same side nowadays.C. The Burmese began to travel on the right in 1970.D. All the Asian nations use the left at present.55. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Who made the great contribution to the right-hand traffic?B. How cars have become a popular means of transportation?C. How Henry Ford produced his cars with controls on the left?D. Why don't people all drive on the same side of road?CThe slogan “a dog is for life, not just for Christmas”has been going strong for 27 years now. Dogs and cats have been popular Christmas gifts in the gifts in the UK and Europe for many years. But some people still haven't quite got the message.The slogan still holds good. Some 105,000 dogs were rounded up by local government last year because they had been abandoned, many of them shortly after the festival season.The main reason given by owners for handing their dogs over to the Dogs Trust is that the dogs need more attention than they can give;behavioral problems and moving home are also reasons given.But Eleanor Silk,the Trust's communications director,says,“It's often four or five months after Christmas, in early summer, when owners find that the dog has got too big and too active, or it hasn't been trained properly and has caused damage around the home.”In any case, some organizations that help pets are quick to point out that if you are serious about getting a puppy (小狗) as a pet, Christmas is not the time to do it. Puppies need to get used to their new surroundings, to be introduced to a routine, and to be looked after like small children. It's hard to meet any of these needs at Christmas. What's more,pulling a puppy out of aChristmas stocking in itself sends the wrong message to children. It encourages children to think of the puppy as a toy, rather than a responsibility.Appreciating what you're taking on with a dog can be a sobering (清醒的) realization. “For life”means thinking about the effect they'll have on your life. It also infers that you will need to care for the dog for its whole life.56. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Dogs and Cats—the Most Popular Christmas GiftsB. A pet is for Life, Not just for ChristmasC. How to Take Care of Your Pets over ChristmasD. Let's Help Those Abandoned Pets57. According to the passage,which of the following is NOT a reason for pets to be abandoned?A. Pets spread some diseases.B. Pets damage some things in the house.C. The owners can't take good care of the pets.D. The owners have to move to other places.58. The underlined words “rounded up”in Paragraph 2 mean “______”.A. given out as giftsB. thrown awayC. gathered into one placeD. raised to make money59. The fifth paragraph mainly tells us ______.A. how to take best care of Christmas petsB. the right time to have a puppy as a petC. the reasons why Christmas is not the time to get a petD. the worries about Christmas pets from organizations that help pets60. Why is the author against the idea of putting a dog in the Christmas stocking as a Christmas gift?A. Because these dogs can still cause damage.B. Because children will not take dogs seriously.C. Because children don't like to have dogs as Christmas gifts.D. Because a Christmas stocking is not big enough to put a dog in.DI was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite one—it's so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonald's, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well,and they are among my favorites.NikeIn the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike's logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $ 35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.McDonald'sThe logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the arch-shaped (拱形的) signs on the side of the company's then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M. The McDonald's name was added to the logo in 1968．AppleThere are different stories behind Apple's logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve,in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later,the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn't stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff's “rainbow apple”, a rainbow-colored silhouette (轮廓) of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.Mercedes BenzThe Mercedes Benz logo,which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three-pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybach's elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie and DMG in 1926.AdidasThe Adidas logo, which was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler, represents mountains, pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be achieved. The logo was used for the first time in 1967.61. What does the author think of the stories of the great logos?A. They are boring.B. They are out of date.C. They are attractive.D. They are practical.62. What does Nike's logo stand for?A. The goddess of victory.B. The source of inspiration for soldiers.C. The statue of the Greek goddess.D. The wing of the Greek goddess63. We can learn that Apple's present logo is _______.A. the religious story of Adam and EveB. a bitten apple with only one colorC. Newton's sitting under an apple treeD. the rainbow-colored bitten apple64. _______ stands for the rule of the land, the sea and the air.A. The Nike logoB. The Apple logoC. The Mercedes Benz logoD. The Adidas logo65. Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos?A. Mercedes Benz — McDonald's — Nike — Apple.B. Mercedes Benz — Nike — McDonald's — Apple.C. Mercedes Benz —Apple — McDonald's — Nike.D. Mercedes Benz — McDonald's — Apple — Nike.EAlthough she died more than twenty-five years ago, many Americans still argue about Ayn Rand. People also continue to talk about her ideas and her interesting life.As a young child, Alisa loved books. She began to write her own stories when she was only seven. She took classes in politics, history, law and writing .In 1926, she traveled to the UnitedStates and decided she would never leave. She also decided to change hername to “Ayn Rand.”Newly named, Rand moved to Hollywood, California to work in the movie business. Throughout the 1930s, she published two books, but did not earn much critical or popular recognition.Then, in1943, Rand's famous book “The Fountainhead”was published. It took her seven years to write the novel. Twelve publishers rejected the book. However, a man named Archibald Ogden loved the story and convinced the Bobbs-Merrill company to publish it. “The Fountainhead”became a huge success around the world. It has sold more than six million copies.I t continues to sell about one hundred thousand copies each year.“The Fountainhead”tells the story of a young building designer named Howard Roark. Roark wants to build interesting, modern-looking buildings. However, most people only want to see traditional designs. Roark loves designing and building more than anything in the world. But he refuses to compromise and make buildings he hates. Several people work against Roark and his goals. But in the end, Roark succeeds.“The Fountainhead”is an unusual novel for many reasons. It is more than 700 pages long, far longer than most books people read for entertainment. More importantly,it also includes discussions of philosophy, which are not usually found in popular books. Most critics did not like “The Fountainhead”. But readers loved it. In 1949,it was made into a popular movie.She lived quietly in New York City until she died in 1982. She is still one of the most loved, and hated, American thinkers and writers.66. When did Alisa decide to change her name to Ayn Rand?A. When she began to write her own stories.B.

ALeft alone for over a month after the sad death of their owner, cats Roly Poly and Pudding never stood much of a chance. Amazingly, however, the lucky pair survived thanks to their vast fat.Police found the fat cats after reports of a smell coming from their elderly owner's home in Walsall, West Midlands. Both cats were close to death, but had kept on diet although having no access to food. When officers found the pair, they were still overweight at over nine kilos t- more than twice the weight of a normal cat.RSPCA inspectors believe the cats managed to stay alive because of their owner's feeding habits, and could have been even heavier before they were discovered.Judith Haw, from the RSPCA, said, "The cats were obviously much-loved by their owner, but perhaps a bit too much. We think the lady didn't have any relatives who could care for the cats and she didn't have time to let anyone else know. The cats did not have access to any food and were using the house as a toilet, so police were called when neighbors complained about the smell."Judith said the cats, which are being eared for at Foxtwood Cattery near Stoke, need a newhome with a perfect parent who would be a health-conscious fitness fanatic (狂热者). She alsosaid, "We'd love to find the cats a personal trainer or perhaps someone who is on a diet so they can help the cats lose weight, too."56. Which of the following is mentioned in the text?A. The cats are being looked after near Stoke.B. Inspectors from RSPCA called the police.C. The lady had time to let anyone else know her death.D. The cats are twice heavier than a normal cat.57. RSPCA inspectors thought the cats can survive owing to ______ .A. their owner's feeding habitsB. too much foodC. their owner's loveD. RSPCA's careful attending58. According to Judith, the cats ______ .A. were left alone for a monthB. needed a toiletC. should be fed scientificallyD. gave off some terrible smell59. We can infer from the passage that ______ .A. the lady didn't have any relativesB. the cats might have had nowhere to stayC. police found the pair in WalsallD. the cats' owner massively overfed themBAs the job-hunting season is approaching, many graduates are suffering from anxiety. Worried about not getting satisfactory offers, some students have sleep problems, or even losetheir appetite (胃口).According to a survey across several universities in Wuhan, over 72 percent are worried about finding a Job. Students in the first one or two years are also uneasy about their job expectations, which contributes to spreading anxiety further.Lang Lei, a business major from Renmin University, hoped to get a position in a large state-owned enterprise. But when it turned out that things wouldn't be so easy, Lang became concerned. "I began to worry," said Lang, who has now changed to more realistic goals. "Sometimes It was impossible for me to stop worrying. I had to talk about it on and on with my friends."Others feel anxious while waiting for interview results. Mo long, a senior software engineering major at South China Normal University, said, "For a day or two, I couldn't help but keep thinking about how I performed in front of the interviewers, how well I answered their questions, and whether they would consider giving me a chance in the end.". Mo was even unable to focus on other things as his apprehension grew. Often he just wanted to grab a phone to call the Human Resources Department, but he didn't have their number.Wen Fang, a well-known educator in Beijing, advises students not to be misled by the surveys and reports about the job market. "Unemployment rates are not linked to personal chances of getting a job, which is mainly determined by his or her ability."According to Wen, a mild degree of anxiety is normal, which can even be helpful. But if it constantly affects a student's normal life, one should pay more attention. "Focus on adapting yourself to the needs of society, and never expect too much of your goals," Wen added.60. Mo Tong didn't call the Human Resources Department because ______ .A. he couldn't get through to the numberB. he'd rather talk with his friendsC. he was unaware of the numberD. he felt himself full of anxiety61. ______ causes part of students unease.A. Being worried about getting unpleasant jobsB. Waiting for the interview resultsC. Taking part in too many examinationsD. Planning to have further education62.

What does the underlined word in the fourth paragraph mean?A. Expectations.B. Anxiety.C. Understanding.D. Chances.CAustralia's Opera House and Harbor Bridge are going to be joined by a new landmark afterthe local government approved a £330 million, l5-hectare (公顷) Chinese-themed park including afull-sized copy of the gates to Beijing's Forbidden City. The park, to be built in Wyong Shire, about 50 miles north of Sydney, will also have a nine-story temple housing a giant Buddha and a mini-city modeled on Chinese water towns.The local mayor (市长), Doug Eaton, said the park, to be finished by 2020, is going tobecome one of the country's main tourist attractions. "Outside the Opera House and Harbor Bridge, this has the potential to be among the biggest tourist attractions in the state," he said, "What this project will do is turn the Wyong Shire into a tourist attraction and bring millions of dollars worth of tourism into the area, which will have a lasting effect on the local development."The local government has agreed to sell the land to the Australian Chinese Theme Park Pty Ltd., the private company behind the project. Construction will begin with the building of the Forbidden City gates in 2015.The park will also include a section in the architectural style of the Tang and Song dynasties and another in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It will have a 1000-seat theatre, restaurants and function halls, and a children's section devoted to pandas."It is going to be a unique S500 million tourist attraction, employing more than a thousand people and bringing a bright future to Wyong Shire," said Bruce Zhong, chairman of the ACTP.

She was swept by the currents (水流) to a broken fence of a bridge arch (拱门) in the moat, which caught her dressand stopped her for a short time. As the currents were rapid and the water surface is two or three meters below the ground, it would be hard to rescue her and even harder for the rescuer to climb up to safety. None of the passers-by dared to run the risk.Eventually a young man dived into the moat, attempting her rescue. As a good swimmer, he soon reached the girl and dragged her to the bridge pier (桥墩). The accident attracted a largecrowd, and not only came a group of firemen trying to help but also a lot of reporters. One of the latter asked the young man, "What made you run the risk in such rapid currents?"The young man turned to the girl and gave a loud answer, "It was her beauty." The answer caused a general smile among the on-lookers. "Didn't you have any idea of the danger you would come across?" asked the reporter again. "Why," said the young man, "She's so charming that it would be a great pity if she had been swept away by the rapid currents." This time all burst out laughing.Later that evening, the TV news ran an item about the rescue.

中职英语高考复习模拟试题：阅读理解阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
ASimply, language is what people and animals use to communicate their thoughts, ideas and feelings. Of course, animals communicate with each other differently from humans, and each type of animal communicates differently. For example, a bee uses a dance to tell the rest of the bees in the hive (蜂窝) where there is food, while whales communicate through the use of pleasant-sounding sounds. One could say then, that animals use different languages.Like animals, people also use different languages. Each culture has its own words and symbols that are used by people within that culture to communicate with others in the same culture. For example, a person living in Japan will use the Japanese language to communicate with other Japanese. Unlike animals though, some cultures use more than one language. People within these cultures are said to be either bilingual (双语的) or multilingual (多语的). One such place is Canada. It is very likely that a person living in Canada may speak both French and English. Likewise, a person living in Switzerland may speak Italian, German and French.Not only do people use different languages to communicate, but languages also have different dialects. A dialect is a difference of a language which uses words and grammar somewhat differently from the standard form of the same language. For example, people who live in Manchester, England speak a dialect that is a little different from people who live in London, England; however, people in both cities speak English.There are also some people who don’t use a spoken language at all. These people use their hands to communicate. This type of language is called sign language and is most commonly used by people who are deaf.Now that we know how people communicate, we are faced with a question. Are we part of a certain culture because of the language we speak, or do we speak a particular language because we are part of that culture?

The meaning of the languageB“Migrant workers”(外来务工人员) is a familiar term for 17-year-old Shi Jian. Her father anduncle often talk about the problems surrounding this group of people. However, Shi cares more about the children of these migrant workers.Last year Shi’s housekeeper’s daughter had to give up her schooling in Beijing because she would not be allowed to sit the national college entrance exam. She was forced to continue her high school education in her hometown in Sichuan Province.Shi thinks the current law is unfair for migrant workers’ children, as it prevents them from studying at public schools, unless their parents pay huge sums. So, Shi decided to do a survey of migrant workers so that she could find some solutions to help solve the problem.In the last six months Shi spoke to 186 migrant workers in Beijing. Her interviewees include babysitters, guards, keepers, supermarket clerks, house cleaners and construction site workers. Shi found out that 55 of them were parents. Among this group, only eight have children who attend schools in Beijing. The other 47 had to leave children with relatives in the countryside. However,40 of the 47 would like to enroll(使入学) their children in city schools.From her interviews, Shi found that the workers’ lowest income was 400 yuan each month. Over one-third earn a monthly wage of or below 1000 yuan. “Even schools for migrant workers’ children charge more than public schools. Morever, parents constantly worry about these schools closing or relocating,” she explained.Shi has recently completed a report about her survey, in which she makes a series of recommendations. “The government can set up public schools for migrants’ children equal toschools for city children. Second, to offset(弥补) migrant workers’ very low pay, public schools should offer them special rates so they can afford their children’s tuition(学费).60. What drove Shi to do the survey of migrant workers?A. Her curiosity about migrant workers’ live sB. She was asked to do a survey of migrant workers as part of a school project.C. Her housekeeper’s daughter was forced to move to her hometown to continue studying.D. She wanted to draw people’s attention and become famous61. According to Shi’s survey, most migrant workers’ kids _____.A. don’t live together with their parentsB. attend schools near their parents’ working placesC. have to help their parents support the familyD. always do better in schools than children from the city.CWhen it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence.People naturally have different levels of confidence. Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals. Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals.One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise. This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities. After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success. If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job. If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing. After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve. Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.64. What is the passage mainly about?A. The influence of confidence on one’s life.B. The importance of confidence to success.C. The difference of people’s confidence.D. The judgment on one’s confidence.65. Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those _____.A. who think their goals are hard to reachB. who expect to give guidance to othersC. who want to ask the boss for a raiseD. who dream to be recognized experts66. What does the underlined word indispensable in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. importantB. attractiveC. outgoingD. energetic67. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?A. To overlook one’s disadvantages.B. To make full us e of one’s advantages.C. To have great confidence in one’s abilities.D. To make objective evaluations of one’s abilities.DCrystal EarOne day a friend asked my wife Jill if I wanted a hearing aid. “He certainly does,”replied Jill. After hearing about a remarkable new product, Jill finally got up the nerve to ask me if I’d ever thought about getting a hearing aid. “No way,”I said. “It would make me look 20 years older.”“No, no”she replied. “This is entirely different. It’s Crystal Ear!”Jill was right. Crystal Ear is different –––– not the old-styled body worn or over-the-ear aid, but an advanced personal sound system so small it’s like contacts for your ears. And Crystal Ear is super-sensitive and powerful, too. You will hear sounds your ears have been missing for years. Crystal Ear will make speech louder, and the sound is pure and natural.I couldn’t believe how tiny it is. It is smaller than the tip of my little finger and it’s almost invisible when worn. There are no wires, no behind-the-ear device. Put it in your ear and its-ready-to-wear mold fits comfortable. Since it’s not too loud or too light, you may even forget that you’re wearing it! Use it at work or at play. And if your hearing problem i s worse in certain situation, use Crystal Ear only when you need it.Hearing loss, which is typically prior to teenage years, progresses throughout one’s lifetime. Although hearing loss is now the world’s number-one health problem, nearly 90 percent of people suffering hearing loss choose to leave the problem untreated. For many millions, treating hearing loss in a conventional way can involve numerous office visits, expensive testing and adjustments to fit your ear. Thanks to Crystal Ear, the “sound solution”is now convenient. Almost 90 percent of people with mild hearing loss, and millions more with just a little hearing dropoff, can be dramatically helped with Crystal Ear. Moreover, its superior design is energy-efficient, so batteries can last months. Crystal Ear is now available to help these people treat their hearing loss with a small hearing amplifier(扩音器).68. Why did the writer refuse to wear a hearing aid at first?A. It would make him look like an old manB. He did not get the nerve to wear oneC. It looked old-styled.D. It was too costly。

ADear Michelle,My Dad hates my Mom. He tells me that she is a liar and that I should not trust her. Of course, they are divorced but they have “joint custody” (共同监护). What a joke! I am 15, my brother is nine, and we have a life of hell, frankly.We live one week on and one week off. This was the brilliant idea of both of my parents, which was fair to them but ruining my life. I cannot get away from his voice and his putting my mom down. Sometimes I think about running away.A Hopeless AntDear Hopeless Ant,First, thank you for trusting me with your problem. If all you said is correct, then there are several things that you can and should do to help yourself, your brother and your parents.You need a family counselor (指导老师). Such a person could listen to each family member alone and then meet together to talk about the situation.If refused, you need to talk to a counselor in your school. You need to be heard, and you need an adult who will listen. A school counselor can organize a meeting with your parents.Perhaps you need to write to your mother. Writing things down allows people to go over it more than one time.I cannot imagine that she will stand passively by and do nothing at all to help once she reads how you feel. Your father needs a letter as well. He may not realize the destructive effect that it has on his children.Lastly, have a plan in mind when all else fails that is not self-destructive. Life passes very quickly, sweetheart, and you will grow up and have your own life.Until then, you need to keep yourself safe. Never doubt that it will get better. Write back and let me know how everything is going.Michelle36.The Hopeless Ant wrote the letter to _________.A. express dissatisfaction with his parentsB. ask for advice seriouslyC. make his father punishedD. just make a joke37.According to Michelle, what will Mother do if Hopeless Ant can write a letter to her?A. She will pretend to know nothing at all.B. She will do nothing to solve the problem.C. She will try to help him.D. She will be angry with him.38.In which part of a magazine will the text probably appear?A. Entertainment.B. Advertisement.C. Life.D. Education.BA pet has become known throughout his neighborhood as “Denis the Evil”, after stealing more than one hundred garments (衣服) from his nearby homes and gardens. The real-life cat burglar has a weakness for stealing and has taken all kinds of things, which he takes home to his embarrassed owner Lesley Newman, aged 49. Over a crime record of 18 months Denis’s stolen goods include a bath towel, a belt, a football, five paintbrushes, a pair of slippers, a shirt, a doll and a pair of gloves. Victims of the two-year-old black and white cat often turn up at Mrs. Newman’s home in Luton, when their belongings go missing.The first theft was recorded just a week after he was let out of the house for the first time. His largest prize is a bath towel which he dragged through the streets and his most expensive is a Fred Perry polo short. On one occasion he stole a woman’s shoes from a garden in a neighboring road and returned a week later to take the other one. Many of the things have fallen off washing lines as they often have clothes pegs (挂钩) still attached.Mrs. Newman，an accounts assistant，has built up two large boxes filled with Denis’ stolen things which she keeps in case anyone arrives to get them. She said, “We have had him since he was six weeks old. I would say he has taken well over 100 things now，so I have started collecting them up and if people are looking for something, I tell them to knock on my door. I have never tried to stop his behavior, I would much rather he brought objects into the house than dead animals. He normally leaves them outside the front door but some of the time he will bring them up to my bed while I am asleep.”Vicky Halls, a cat behaviorist, said, “There are so many different theories on why cats steal, but I think it’s a basic hunting instinct (本能). Cats steal all sorts of things and bring them in and carry items as if they were prey (猎物). It could be the feel of certain items in their mouths that they like，which could be why certain things are taken time and time again.”39.Why do Mrs. Newman’s neighbors often go to her house in Luton?A. Because they want to play with Denis.B. Because they are Mrs. Newman’s good friends.C. Because they want to make a crime record of Denis.D. Because they want to find their lost belongings.40.What is Mrs. Newman’s attitude towards the cat?A. Ashamed.B. Calm.C. Negative.D. Worried.41.What can be learned from the passage?A. The cat burglar is only two years old.B. The cat’s stolen goods are mostly foods.C. Mrs. Newman encourages the cat to steal things.D. Vicky Halls has no patience with the cat.42.What is the purpose of writing the passage?A. To call on people to protect animals.B. To accuse Mrs. Newman.C. To introduce a funny cat.D. To promote cat behavior research.CGrowers around the world are using new methods to grow grapes to make wine. They use natural and organic methods to control harmful insects and weeds instead of using chemicals. Now, a winery in Canada has adopted a natural way to control its grapevines (葡萄藤). The Featherstone Winery is in southern Ontario. The grapevines, like other plants, need to be cut every year.Cutting grapevines must be done very carefully. Only a targeted area of leaves is removed from the lower part of the vines to help the grapes grow better. But at the Featherstone Winery, no man or machine does the cutting. Instead, the job is done by 40 little wooly lambs.David Johnson owns the vineyard (葡萄园). He says he learned about using lambs while visiting wineries in New Zealand. The young lambs are perfectly designed to do the job. They eat the grape leaves on the lower parts of the vine. But they are not tall enough to reach the grapes. They only weigh about 22 kilograms, so they do not beat down the soil. And their waste makes good organic fertilizer. In addition, using the lambs costs much less than hiring workers to cut the vines for seven weeks in summer. And when the cutting is done in August, the lambs become tasty dishes.Mr. Johnson says he had a difficult time finding enough lambs to do the job. There are about 50 million lambs in New Zealand. But there are not nearly as many in Ontario. Also, some organic pesticides (杀虫剂) are harmful to lambs. And the lambs must be watched to make sure they do not eat too much of the grapevines.David Johnson says the lambs help him carry out his environmental ideas about farming. They are lovely and peaceful and he likes having them in his vineyard. People visiting the vineyard also enjoy watching the lambs do their job.43.Farmers who grow grapes with natural and organic methods _________.A. don't cut grapevines every yearB. don't use chemicals to control harmful insects and weedsC. don't need to control harmful insects and weedsD. don't use organic fertilizer44.In order to help the grapes grow better, growers _________.A. only have to remove the dead leavesB. need to remove a specific area of leavesC. shouldn't remove any part of the plantsD. should let little lambs do the cutting45.Paragraph 4 is mainly about _________.A. the future of getting lambs to do the cuttingB. the worries about using organic pesticidesC. the ways to get lambs to do the cuttingD. the problems related to lambs doing the cutting46.We can infer from the passage that David Johnson _________.A. owns several wineries in CanadaB. buys lambs from New ZealandC. is concerned about protecting the environmentD. loves keeping lambs instead of farmingDIn her new book, “The Smartest Kids in the World”, Amanda Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high-school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Wroclaw, Poland. Poland is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised students’ test scores from significantly below averageto well above it. Polish kids have now outscored American kids in math and science, even though Poland spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the United States does. One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Wroclaw is that the latter has no football team or teams of any kind.That American high schools spend more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint. In December, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) results are announced, it’s safe to predict that American high-school students will once again show their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like China, Finland, Singapore, and Japan. Meanwhile, they will have played some very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers.Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it. And for another, according to Ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too. She describes a tour she took of a school in Washington D.C., which costs thirty thousand dollars a year. The tour leader —a mother with three children in the school —was asked about the school’s flaws (瑕疵). When she said that the math program was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted. When she said that the football program was weak, the parents suddenly became concerned. “Really?” one of them asked worriedly, “What do you mean?”One of the ironies of the situation is that sports show what is possible. American kids’performance on the field shows just how well they can do when expectations are high. It’s too bad that their test scores show the same thing.47.Tom decides to spend his senior year in Poland because _________.A. he intends to improve his scoresB. Polish kids are better at learningC. sports are not supported at schools in GettysburgD. he wants to be the smartest kid in the world48.According to Paragraph 2, we know that _________.A. PISA plays a very important role in AmericaB. little time is spent on sports in Japanese schoolsC. American students do better in both math and sportsD. too much importance is placed on sports in America49.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _________.A. low expectations result in American students’ poor PISA performanceB. high expectations push up American students’ academic performanceC. American students’ academic performance worries their parents a lotD. lacking practice contributes to American students’ average performance50.The purpose of this article is to _________.A. compare Polish schools with those in AmericaB. call on American schools to learn from the Polish modelC. draw public attention to a weakness in American school traditionD. explain what is wrong with American schools and provide solutions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。

中职英语期中模拟考试：阅读理解阅读理解(40分)ASome people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they’ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn’t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of part ing. If you’re saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known yo u half their life.56. Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _______.A. for you to make more and more new friendsB. to begin your business talksC. to get the conversation going smoothlyD. for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others57. After having asked somebody a question, it’ll be polite of you to _______.A. make clear what kind of person he isB. listen to his reply attentivelyC. wait quietly and patiently for his answerD. go on asking him more questions58. Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who _______.A. are good at making any topic interestingB. never talk too much or too littleC. always speak in a gentle wayD. know how and when they should change the topic of the talk59. If you really take delight in meeting someone again, _______.A. you may take him as your lifelong trustworthy friendB. it seems necessary for you to let him know itC. it’s proper for you to give him a second handshakeD. it’ll be helpful for you to have further understanding of h imBHere is a poster on a middle school web site.

Some do very complicated jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains. And some do one simple job. When an automatic washing machine is switched on, water pours in. The machine waits until the water is warm enough for washing clothes. It does this by “feedback”(反馈). Information about what is happening isfeedback into the robot to tell what to do next. Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback. They tell us what is going on around us. So robots are like human beings in two ways. They work and they have feedback.In some ways robots are better than human beings. They work quickly and do not make mistakes. They do not get bored doing the same job over and over again. And they never get tired. So robots are very useful in factories. They can be taught to do many different jobs. First their electronic brain must be shown how the job is done. A person moves the robot’s “arms” and “hands” through each part of the job.The most intelligent robots can move and see. Their eyes are cameras. Their fingers can feel shapes and sizes of the objects. These robots have computer brains linked to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions.

What does the author seem to inform you about robots?A. They should be greatly improved.B. They will probably take over in the future.C. They are very helpful and useful to humans.D. They are machines that break down a lot.66.

The robots used for scientific research _______.A. are not very cleverB. are very cheapC. are very bigD. are very costlyDBoxing was long viewed sickly. Generally forbidden by law in earlier days, the fighting was usually done with bare fists, and matches often lasted forty or fifty rounds.In 1882 John L. Sullivan, a fighter of great power, won the world heavyweight championship from Paddy Ryan in a bare fisted battle marked by hitting, scratching, and biting without any rule. Five years later, while fighting Patsy Cardiff at Minneapolis, Sullivan broke hisright arm in the third round, but he continued fighting to the sixth round and won. In 1889, Sullivan defeated Jade Kilrain with his bare fists in another championship fight, winning twenty thousand dollars and a diamond prize medal. His admirers talked then of running him for the next governor, but he traveled to Australia for a boxing tour instead, coming back only to lose his title in a twenty-one-round match with a young Californian named James J. Corbett. “Gentleman James” victory in this match marked a turning point, for it showed scientific boxing was over strength. But Corbett’s title ended in 1897, when another boxer, Bob Fitzsimmons, in less than three seconds, achieved his feats and then Fitzsimmons knocked out an Irishman, won the heavyweight championship of the world, and invented the terrible “solar plexus punch.”68. Boxing matches in the early days were ________.A. short and bloodyB. usually spare-time competitionsC. governed by strict ruleD. cruel69. Sullivan held the world’s heavyweight title for ________.A. at least seven yearsB. only a yearC. five yearsD. twenty-one years70.

ADo you enjoy seeing the stars twinkling at night ? Or do you love the ocean and sea, diving and racing with lovely dolphins? With heavy burdens on their shoulders, teenagers find it hard to pull out. Even if they are free, they prefer to occupy themselves with computer games or watching TV. How to get children away from screens is a great concern for parents. Now there is some good news for those concerned parents and teachers.A campaign is being launched to encourage children to spare 30 minutes of screen time a day to head for the great outdoors.The newly formed Wild Network – a combination of nearly 400 organizations –is attempting to attract youngsters away from television and computer screen and into fields, woods and parks.Organizers say it is the UK's biggest ever campaign to reconnect children with nature and outdoor play, and claim it could help improve fitness, mental alertness and general well–being.A documentary film, Project Wild Thing, will announce the launch in advance at more than 50 cinemas across the UK from Friday. It looks at the increasingly fragile link between children and nature.Members of the network include the National Trust, RSPB, Play England and the NHS sustainable development unit.Andy Simpson, chairman of the Wild Network, said: "The tragic truth is that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors in just one generation." Time spent outdoors is down, activity ranges have fallen to a large degree, activity levels are declining and the ability to identify common species has been lost."Suggestions of how to get more time in nature include collecting conkers（板栗）, camping or snail racing, and observing autumn colour on trees.From January, the network will aim to make suggestions to politicians on how government can do more to get children muddy and bright-eyed.This is not the first time the message of less screen, more play has been brought up. Children in the 1980s were called on to do the same by the BBC TV series Why Don't You, which somewhat confusingly called on its viewers to "switch off your TV set, and go do something less boring instead".51. What is the main purpose of the campaign in UK?A. To save 30 minutes for watching TV programme each day.B. To encourage children to play outdoors.C. To see the documentary film, Project Wild Thing.D. To teach students how to learn more efficiently in schools.52. According to the organizers of Wild Network, there will be many advantages fromthe campaign except _______.A. improving health conditionsB. keeping touch with natureC. learning more about wildlifeD. teaching children how to make full use of their spare time53. The underlined part “ to get children muddy and bright-eyed ” means “_______ ”.A. to make children covered with mudB. to urge politicians to do more things for childrenC. to encourage children to take part in outdoors activitiesD. to help children identify common species54. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A. A new campaign.B. Less screen, more play outdoors.C. A newly formed Wild Network.D. Children get to know wild things.BI remember the first time that I was extremely happy, I was about 8 years oldwhen for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some of the BASIC code. I just gave myself a limitless number of lives in the game, so I could continue playing it forever. This was also my first introduction to algebra（代数）, and I didn’t even know it at the time. This was a decisive moment in my life. I was quite excited because of what I was learning and what I was able to do. As a result, I was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self-learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them too.I’ve noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. It may also lead to success, wealth and achievements.Success, wealth or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. I know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing. I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too long. Please remember, happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.55. What can we know from Paragraph 1?A. The author has a great talent for algebra.B. Creative thinking is necessary for every child.C. The BASIC code of the computer is not difficult.D. The author’s experience in his childhood changed his life.56. The author wants to tell us through the first paragraph that____.A. interest is the best teacherB. children are the hope of the futureC. young people are fearlessD. where there’s a will , there’s a way57. What is the secret of happiness in the author’s opinion?A. Success and wealth.B. Gifts and self-confidence.C. Enthusiasm and good health.D. Knowledge and achievements.58. We can infer from the last paragraph that ______.A. rich people generally feel unhappyB. wealth can’t bring people any h appinessC. one will feel unhappy once he has gained all the things he wantsD. being enthusiastic about what you are doing is more important than wealthCNO PLANS FOR THE HOLIDAYS?Special Story Time for All Lower Primary PupilsSCHOOL LIBRARYREADING ROOMJune 6, 2 p. m---3 p. m,Mr. Stephen Keene will impress you with stories from his famous New Kids Next Block series.FREE ADMISSIONLEARN HOW TO PLAY THE GUITAR IN 4 EASY LESSONS!Venue: Music RoomTime: 9 a. m---12 p. mDates: June 6, 13, 20, 27Instructor: Miss Katsumi from JapanFees: $ 40 for 4 lessons *($ 20 for members of the school band and school choir)Register with Mrs. Mary Mi, the Choir Mistress, NOW.*It is compulsory(强制性的) for students who sign up to attend ALL four lessons.JOIN THE GEOGRAPHY CLUB’S TWILIGHT CRUISE(黄昏巡游)June 19, 5 p. m---8 p. m﹒View Singapore’s wonderful skyline by night.﹒Cruise past Kusu Island and Pulau Tekukor (Dove Island)﹒Enjoy a great dinner under the starlit sky.HURRY!

This contrast is beginning to bother your 6-year-old son. You are worried that he will want to live as they do, and wonder if you should move.Sometimes big pocket money, joyful birthday parties, special playrooms and super-big houses tell you that your neighbors probably have more money than you do, and that they’re not as careful as you are with money, but you may find that they cook and dig in the garden with their children just as often as you do, talk with them as freely and read to them every night.Or you may find that some of these parents stay in one wing of their big house while their child plays by himself, way off in a wing of his own. In that unfortunate case, he is basically growing up alone without being looked after properly, but thiscan happen to a child who lives in a normal-size house, too, if he has a TV, a computer and a few video games in his room. Even the most caring parent doesn’t walk in and out of it to see what show her child is watching, what Internet site he has found and if he’s still playing that video game.Too much uncontrolled screen time may lead to a certain loss of innocence(天真),but mostly this child will lose the sense of unity and satisfaction, and if it doesn’t , you might decide to move. Don’t judge your neighborhood too harshly(严厉地)，though. There are some things that are right with almost any neighborhood and some things that are wrong with the best of them—like those super-big houses.The wealth of their owners—and the way they throw money around—may make your son feel sorry for himself, unless you help him understand that you and his dad save some of the money, give some to people who don’t have enough and use the rest to pay for whatever the family needs.Children want—should be provided with—explanations when their parents don’t give them what they want.62. What is the problem with the worried parent in the text?A. Her house isn’t as big as her rich neighbors’B. Her son is left alone without anyone in charge.C. She worries about the effect of her neighbors on her son.D. She cannot provide her son with a special playroom.63. In Paragraphs 2and 3, the author seems to agree that parents should____.A. give their children more freedomB. spend more time with their childrenC. work hard to lead a richer lifeD. set an example for their children to follow64. By saying “throw money around”(Paragraph 5),the author means that rich people___.A. save money for their childrenB. spend money carelesslyC. help the poor people willinglyD. leave money all round the house65. What is the main idea the author aims to express in the text?A. Children are unfortunate to have poor parents.B. Children should enjoy their comfortable life.C. Children feel ashamed of themselves in a rich neighborhood.D. Children need proper guidance from their parents.第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ATaking exams in a large group setting can bestressful for students and for the staff memberswho are watching over them. When classrooms arecrowded and desks are close together, cheating mightbe tempting.One university in Thailand came up with an anti-cheating hat that makes it almost impossible for students to see other students’ papers. A photo of the students wearing the anti-cheating hats made its way to the internet, and the university was criticized for making students wear those ridiculous looking homemade hats. The hats were made by stapling two pieces of paper onto a headband, one to each side of the head.After being criticized, senior academic staff at Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, released a statement saying that the hats idea came from students. They said that in a bid to prevent cheating they asked the students for ideas on how to prevent cheating in the upcoming exam, which was being taken by almost one hundred students. Students came up with different ideas, then the paper hat idea was selected by them as the most fit. The university claims that no-one was forced to use the hat, but they all chose to do so. “When wearing th e hat during the exam, students felt more relaxed,” Nattadon Rungruangkitkrai, a lecturer at the university said.“It was not meant to indicate that Kasetsart students often cheat on exams. I apologize if the photo makes other people look at my students in a negative way,’ Rungruangkitkrai added.56.

Some students are forced to wear the anti-cheating hat.BIn the hit film The bucket List, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman meet in hospital in California after they have been diagnosed with cancer.

At the age of 12, he left school to work, first in agriculture, later in a factory. In 1976 he joined the army and during this time began to study literature and writing.He published his first book in 1981, but found literary success in 1987 with Hong Gaoliang Jiazu, which was successfully filmed in the same year, directed by famous Chinese director Zhang Yimou. In his writing, Mo Yan draws on his youthful experiences and on settings in the province of his birth and his works show the life of Chinese people as well as the country’s unique culture and folk customs. Mo Yan is known as a productive writer. In addition to his novels, he has published many short stories and essays on various topics. Despite his social criticism, he is seenin his homeland as one of the most famous contemporary authors. Dozens of his works have been translated into English, French, Japanese and many other languages.The awarding ceremony has been held on December 10.

Mo Yan Wins Nobel Prize in LiteratureB. An Introduction to Nobel PrizeC. How Mo Yan Gets Nobel PrizeD. A World Famous Writer, Mo YanDLack of exercise is considered a risk factor for cancer. There is considerable evidence that inactivity is connected with increased risk for lung cancer, breast cancer, etc.In the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study, more than 32,000 people (25,000 men and 7,000 women) were given a preventive medical examination that included a machine exercise test to measure physical fitness. They were given a physical fitness score, with one being the lowest and five being the highest fitness level. Then these people were followed for an average of 8 years. During this time, 179 men and 44 women died of cancer.Data from the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study show people have lower rates of cancer with higher levels of physical fitness. Studies from the Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research in Dallas suggest that men with high fitness levels are less likely to die of cancer.The Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study also found that fitness level was more important than weight in predicting longevity (长寿). While results showed that fitness and normal weight are the ideal combination, researchers found that men who were fat but performed well in the machine performance had just a slightly increased all-cause death rate, including cancer, compared to the more slim men. The fat, but fit, men particularly lived longer than the slim, but flabby (肌肉松弛的), men.These statistics called for a warning to the overweight: The first health goal for the overweight should be to become as fit as possible at their current weight.66. Which of the following is true?A. Exercise has nothing to do with cancer.B. Men with high fitness levels are more likely to die of cancer.C. The fat, but fit, men particularly lived longer than those who are slim but flabby.D. Data from the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study show people have lower rates of cancer with lower levels of physical fitness.67. The text mainly talks about________.A. the effect of exercise on reducing chances of cancerB. how to lose weight effectivelyC. different ways to keep slimD. fat men live longer than slim ones68. What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The study on the life of the overweight.B. The study on the relationship between taking exercise and cancer.C. The study on the ways of losing weight.D. The study on the effects of machine exercise.69. Which of the following is NOT true according to Paragraph 4?A. Fitness levels have more effects than weight on people’s longevity.B. A man who is fit and has normal weight is most likely to live longer.C. Slim men are more likely to live longer.D. Fat people who like exercising are also likely to live longer.70. The author thinks the most important thing for the overweight is to ______.A. increase their fitness levelsB. choose to eat vegetablesC. be on a dietD. ask for help from doctors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。

The purpose of the text is to get more people to .A. do researchB. design shoesC. visit the museumD. follow celebritiesBWhen I was a kid, I always used to wonder how in the world my father work outside in the winter without a coat. It could be minus 20 degrees centigrade and there’d be Dad, removing snow, or perhaps chopping some wood --- his coat thrown aside--- wearing a shirt , a cap, and a pair of gloves.“Aren’t you cold, Dad?” I’d ask. “No,” Dad would reply. “I’m not cold--- working too hardto be cold.”Many times I wondered whether my father was an extremely tough man, or whether he was foolish.One time when I was quite young, perhaps five or so, I went ice fishing with Dad. It was a bright, clear day—and bitterly cold.After we’d been out on the ice for a little while, my feet started getting cold.“Daddy, my feet are cold.” I said.“Yeah, it’s cold out here today,” he replied.“Tell you what,” he said. “Walk around. Make som e circles in the snow. See how many different patterns you can make. That will get your feet warm.”I was just a little girl at the time but I remember thinking, “How in the world will walking around in the snow make my feet warm? Dad must be out of mind.”But he was my father, after all. I made circles in the snow. I made squares. Pretty soon I was having so much fun making patterns in the snow. I forgot about my feet being cold.Now, all these years later, I know, too, from personal experience how my father was able to take his coat off and work outside in the winter wearing just a shirt, a cap and gloves. Because I do it, too. “Aren’t you cold?” my husband asked one winter day. “No,” I replied. “I’m not cold—working too hard to be cold.”I hope my husband has decided I’m both tough and smart. But I guess quite a bit of the time he thinks I’m foolish.Wherever Dad is on that great big farm in the sky—I’m sure he can’t help but smile whenever I take my coat off while I’m working outside in the winter.50．When the author’s feet felt cold, her father advised her to.A．go home alone first B．keep walking in the snowC．draw pictures in the snow D．light a fire on the ice51．Hearing her father’s advice, the author thought her father .A．forgettable B．warm-heartedC．crazy D．cruel52．What might the author’s husband think of her?A．Tough B．Smart C．Brave D．Foolish53．The author’s purpose of w riting this passage is to .A．remember her tough and smart fatherB．show how her father cared about herC．describe memories of her childhoodD．explain why her father loved her so muchCWelcome to your future life!You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035，medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150，so at 40，you're not old at all. And your parents just had an antiaging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now，all three of you look the same age!You say to your shirt，“Turn red.”It changes from blue to red. In 2035，“smart clothes”contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes' color or pattern.You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk，but a voice says，“You shouldn't drink that！”Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk，and it knowsthe milk is old. In 2035，every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.It's time to go to work. In 2035，cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way，you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.So will all these things come true？“For new technology to succeed，”says scientist Andrew Zolli，“ it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example—what will be the next?54．We can learn from the text that in the future________.A．people will never get oldB．everyone will look the sameC．red will be the most popular colorD．clothes will be able to change their pattern55．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A．Milk will be harmful to health.B．More drinks will be available for sale.C．Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.D．Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.56．Which of the following is mentioned in the text?A．Nothing can replace the Internet.B．Fridges will know what people need.C．Jacket sleeves can be used as a guide.D．Cars will be able to drive automatically.57．What is the text mainly about?A．Food and clothing in 2035.B．Future technology in everyday life.C．Medical treatments of the future.D．The reason for the success of new technology.DGoing to outer space is a little like going camping. You have to carry with you all the food and equipment you need for your trip, so your food can’t be too heavy or hard to prepare. Plus, there are no refrigerators to keep food cold and fresh.Food with all the water dried out is lightweight and doesn’t spoil. So, many space foods are dried on Earth and stored in special packets. Some taste good right out of the packet.On earth, gravity(重力) is the force that keeps your feet on the ground and your sandwich on your plate. But there’s no gravity in space. To keep food from floating（漂浮）away, astronauts on the Space Shuttle attach the packets to a special tray. The tray can be fixed to a wall or to the astronaut’s lap. To prepare their food, astronauts use liquid forms of salt and pepper. The liquid sticks to the food better. Regular salt and pepper would float away, maybe up an astronaut’s nose.Liquids float right out of cups and glasses, though. So astronauts drink everything from a small bag with a straw(吸管饮料) that can be closed. Astronauts say that most space foods taste pretty good. Some, such as apples and pudding, are the same as the foods you eat on Earth.Astronauts eat tortillas(玉米粉圆饼) instead of bread because they make fewer crumbs(碎屑). Floating crumbs could get stuck in equipment or an astronaut’s eye.Your body used food in space the same way it does on Earth. Your body must deal with waste in space too. During the landing, astronauts can’t leave their seats to go to the bathroom. They wear diapers(尿布) under their spacesuits instead.The Space Shuttle has a bathroom the size of a small closet. The toilet has bars that keep astronauts from floating away. A strong flow of air is used instead of water to flush(冲洗) wastedown the toilet. Back on Earth it’s flushed away-or sometimes studied by scientists.58. Why do astronauts use liquid forms of salt and pepper to prepare food?A. Liquid doesn’t spoil.B. Liquid is convenient to use in space.C. Liquid is lightweight.D. Astronauts are in great need of water.59. What do astronauts think of space foods?A. Most of them taste pleasant.B. They are mostly fruits.C. Most of them are rather cold.D. They contain too little meat.60. We can infer from the passage that astronauts _______.A. drink from cups and glassesB. always wear diapers in spaceC. can move freely during landingD. must pay attention to the crumbs in space第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分。

AAs a professor of business and government policy, I’ve long been interested in the pursuit of happiness as a national concept. According to surveys of thousands of people across the land, happy people are keys to making our nation healthy and strong. Happiness, in other words, is important for America. So when I came across data a couple of years ago saying that certain Americans were living in a manner that contributed to happiness-while others were not-I jumped on it.I wanted to know which personal lifestyles and public policies would make us the happiest nation possible. I also wanted to know which of my own values, learned during my childhood and practiced during my career as a university professor, were the most concerned with happiness. First, just what is happiness? Most researchers agree that it involves an assessment of the good and bad in our lives. It’s the emotional balance sheet we keep t hat allows us to say honestly whether we’re living a happy life, in spite of bad things now and then.You might guess that Americans are getting happier all the time. After all, many are getting richer, and this should make them better able and equipped to follow their dreams. On the other hand, there’s a lot of talk about the good old days, when kids could play outside without any worry about being kidnapped. And there’s a great deal of stress in this country right now, due to financial concerns, negative workplace environments, and health problems, among other pressing issues.But average happiness levels in America have stayed largely constant for many years. In 1972, 30 percent of the population said they were very happy with their lives. In 1982, 31 percent said so, and in 2006, 31 percent said so as well. The percentage saying they were not too happy was generally stopping over at around 13 percent.The factors that add up to a happy life for most people are not what we typically hear about. However, the key to happiness, and the difference between happy and unhappy Americans, is a life that reflects values and practices like faith, hard work, marriage, charity, and freedom.56．According to the text what is happiness?A．Our values being accepted by society.B．The balance of our feelings in any situation.C．The great material wealth we possess.D．The contributions we have made for society.57．From the text we can learn that .A．the American people are far happier than beforeB．all the American people can realize their dreams in lifeC．American public security used to be better than nowD．people felt more stressed in the past58．The underlined word in the fourth paragraph means .A．growing B．decliningC．unchanged D．terrible59．What will be talked about in the next part of the passage?A．Winning the lottery can make a person happier.B．Being offered a good job is the reason for happiness.C．All kinds of reasons for not being happy.D．Detailing values and practices like faith, hard work.BI will tell you the truth about plastic bags－the positive and the negative sides and provide a solution to this problem. Whether it is a shopping bag, a food bag or a trash bag, they are all made of plastic bags. Grocery store owners are very generous in using plastic bags. They place the fruit in one bag and drop the box of milk in another. Ever wonder why?The positive side of plastic bagsGrocery stores, shopping centres, and restaurants are not thrifty in using and giving out plastic bags because they cost no more than a cent each, while a paper bag costs four cents. Plastic bags are produced so cheaply and massively（大量地）that they are used by 80% of store owners. In addition, they are light and very easy to carry and store.The production of plastic bags has increased greatly over the last 20 years and producers of plastic bags are making large profits. However, the negative side of plastic bags is becoming well-known. More people are now getting worried that the earth is becoming a victim of the plastic bag success story.The negative side of plastic bagsWhile production and consumption（消费）of plastic bags is good for business, it is not so for our Mother Earth. They have resulted in an increase in the amount of litter found floating in water or in the streets where we live.Plastic storage bags, after usage, usually go to landfills（垃圾填埋地）as trash bags. They make the oceans poison sea animals. They give off toxins（毒素）when burned. They simply pollute the ground, air and water.That is the true cost of plastic bags, and it looks like it is more than a cent. These are very alarming concerns and proper action needs to be taken.…60．If some people are very thrifty, it means that they .A．are careful with money B．like using plastic bagsC．like using paper bags D．are careful with everything 61．According to Paragraph 3, plastic bag producers .A．are now worried that the earth will become a victim of plastic bagsB．don’t think they have done enough to popularize plastic bagsC．have not realized the harm of plastic bagsD．have succeeded in popularizing the use of plastic bags62．From the last three paragraphs, we learn that .A．plastic bags harm the earth severelyB．most plastic bags are not made use ofC．the prices of plastic bags are reasonableD．plastic bags are the leading polluter on the earth63．What will the writer most probably talk about in the following paragraph?A．How plastic bags are produced.B．How plastic bags are used.C．How to popularize the use of paper bags.D．How to solve the problems caused by plastic bags.CChoosing a university course is an expensive, life-changing decision. Get it right, and you’ve got a springboard（跳板）for your future career, the joy of studying something you love, and the chance to make some lifelong friends. Here are useful ideas on how to proceed.•Think about yourself“Students have to really think about what they want to do and why,” says Kevin Betts, student recruitmen（招聘）officer at the University of Sussex. “Your mum might want you to become a lawyer but when you’ve got drunk will you go to the lecture in a subject you don’t enj oy? ”•Do your researchWith 40,000 full-time courses there’s a lot to read up on. Don’t just set your heart on one university at the start. Get detailed information on the websites of the universities that appeal to you most and check requirements against your predicted grades.•Look at the detailCourses can differ hugely between universities, even if they have the same name. Don’t forget that combined courses are a possibility and that there are plenty of subjects you might never have thought of. “We had a scientist who ended up on an astrophysics（天体物理学）course she didn’t know,” says Anita Porter, senior tutor at Impington Village College.•Consider the locationDo you want to live on a quiet campus or in a busy city? How will the cost of living be different? If you are thinking about studying in Europe, make sure you have looked at a map and know exactly where you’re going.•Ask serious questionsBetween applications and offers, universities are in the driving seat. But once you’ve received your o ffers, it’s up to you to take control and decide which one you’ll accept. So you need to find out as much information as you can. “Ask about employability, teaching, how many hours a week you see your personal tutor,” says Betts. “Ask: ‘Why should I come to you?’ It’s your life, your debt and you’ve got to make the right decision.”64．Before you apply for a college, .A．you should find your lifelong friendB．you should follow your parents’ adviceC．you should have your own ideaD．you should contact your teachers65．Faced with numberless courses, .A．you can choose the course with brightest spotB．you should decide according to your achievementC．you must offer detailed information to the websitesD．you should combine your love with talent66．We can learn from the passage that .A．the course with the same name is of little differenceB．Anita Porter was a professor in astrophysicsC．knowing what the course mean is importantD．a college in Europe will cost more than one in AmericaDSunbeds are a popular way for teen girls to get a tan（晒成的棕褐肤色）, but what they might not realize is that they are at risk of skin cancer from them. If your teen girl wants to look her best and has discussed heading to the tanning bed, you should know a few facts that can help save her life. Here are a few tips to help you .Let her know that you care about her health–Many parents simply forbid kids to do something without telling them the reasons why. If you want your child to respect your decision, help them to understand it. The matter of sun beds is one that they will deal with their entire lives, not just now. Your decision to keep her from using them is not because you don’t want her to look good but you want her to be safe.Discuss skin cancer－Surely she has heard about it before, but it can stand to be repeated. The sun emits UVA and UVB rays. Both can damage the skin. Getting a tan means damaging the skin as it turns darker .Talk about other choices–It is always good to bring choices to the table. Discuss controlled use of the sun bed for short periods of time. If she wants to go, be sure that she uses sunscreen and that you will go with her. Another choice is to use a sunless tanning process. Even tanning salons offer spray（喷雾）tanning. A professional job can last for as long as she needs it to. Be sure to wear a mask .67．What does the underline word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A．Teen girls. B．Sunbeds.C．Tans. D．Risks.68．According to Paragraph 2, parents should let their teen girls know that .A．daughters should respect their parents’ decisionsB．they will try their best to forbid tansC．sunbeds are the most dangerousD．they care about their health69．What do we know about UV A and UVB rays?A．Neither of them makes people dark. B．They don’t release any heat.C．They both harm people’s skin. D．They are the leading causes of skin cancer.70．What does the writer suggest parents do in the last paragraph?A．Buy some expensive sunscreen for their teen girls.B．Refer to some tanning salons about spray tanning.C．Help their daughters put on a mask before they get a tan.D．Provide their teen girls with more choices to choose from.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。

中职英语期中模拟考试：阅读理解阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A．B．C．D）中，选出最佳答案。
（共15小题，每小题2分，共计30分）AHave you ever suddenly felt that someone you know was in trouble ― and he was? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP.ESP stands for Extra Sensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.Here is an example: A woman was doing washing. Suddenly she shouted, “My fathe r is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!” Just then, a telephone came. The woman’s father had died of a heart illness. He died sitting in a chair.There are thousands of stories like this on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what is behind these strange mental messages. Here’s another example —— one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, “There’s room for one more.” The man felt the driver was Death, so he ran away. The next day the man was getting on a crowded bus. The bus driver said, “There’s room for one more”. Then the man saw the driver’s face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn’t get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into fires. Everyone was killed!Some people say stories like these are lies or coincidences. Others say that are ESP in true, from studies of ESP, we may some day learn more about the human mind.56. ESP lets people know about _________.A．their dream B．events after they happen C．events before they happen D．heart illness57. The example of the man shows the ability to _______.A．avoid traffic accidentsB．know the good and bad of a personC．know about the events happening some distance awayD．sense a danger that will happen later on58. The best title of this passage is _________.A．Sixth Sense B．The Human MindC．A Big Lie D．A Terrible DreamBFor years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth’s natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. It may be one hundred times worse.Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is true that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they build buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases.As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building—green plants. Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plant’s leaves absorb or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and tiny organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place.59. Generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because ______.A．indoor air pollution can often make people seriously illB．man-made building materials give off dangerous gasesC．there may be more harmful gases outside the buildingsD．the air indoors is polluted, which is very harmful60. Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in______．Ａ．every modern house B．every old houseC．all kinds of houses D．all kinds of offices61. The indoor air pollution is caused by ______.A．the limit of the flow of air between inside and outsideB．the building way that the builders want to save energyC．the building things that are made of man-made materialsD．the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flow62. The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that ______.A．plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoorsB．plants may take in more oxygen which people needC．plants can absorb all kinds of harmful indoor chemicalsD．plants can make our houses prettier and more healthyCPeople who are hit by lightning and survive often have long-term effects. These may include memory loss, sleep disorders, muscle pain and depression.Experts tell people to seek the safety of a building or a hard-top vehicle any time they hear thunder, even if it is not raining. They say lightning can strike as far as sixteen kilometers from any rainfall. Lightning can travel sideways. And at least ten percent of lightning happens without any clouds overhead that you can see.People who are outdoors should make sure they are not the tallest thing around. Bend low to the ground, but do not lie down. And do not stand near tall object. Get away from water and anything made of metal. A car is safe, but don’t touch any metalinside.Safety experts say people in buildings should stay away from anything with wires or pipes that lead to the outside. The National Weather Service says if you plan to disconnect any electronic equipment, do so before the storm arrives. Do not use a wired telephone. Do not use water. All these can carry electricity.Some people think a person struck by lightning carries an electrical charge afterward. Experts say this is not true. It is safe to begin emergency treatment Each year about four hundred people in the United States are struck by lightning. Last year forty four people died. The average is close to seventy. The National Weather Service says that is more than the number of people killed by severe storms.63. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Lightning can happen even if there is no cloud.B. Lightning can’t strike very far.C. L ightning can’t travel sideways.D. Don’t stay in a car when lightning happen.64. We can learn from the passage that________.A. it’s better to turn off any electronic equipment before the storm arrives.B. a wired telephone is not safe to use in rainy days.C. a person struck by lightning is said to carry an electrical charge afterward.D. severe storms kill more people than lightning does.65. The underlined word ”depression” probably means”_______”.A. excitementB. a state of being forgettableC. silenceD. a feeling of being sad66. The passage is mainly about______.A. where people should stay in case of lightningB. some common knowledge about lightning safetyC. how lightning travelsD. a report written by the National Weather ServiceDI had an experience some years ago, which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by themselves. One January, I had to hold two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “full of years”, as the Bible would say .Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence(吊唁)calls on the two families on the same afternoon.At the first home, the son of the deceased woman said to me, ”If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died. ”At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today .That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate ,was more than she could take．It’s my fault that she’s dead.”You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course------keeping mother at home, putting off the operation----would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needｓ,and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to his tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him，and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we don not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.67.The author had to conduct the two women’s funerals probably because_______.A. he was minister of the local churchB. he wanted to comfort the two familiesC. he was an official of the communityD. he had great pity for the deceased68.People feel guilty for the death of their loved ones because________.A .they can’t find a better way of express their sorrowB. they have neglected the natural course of eventsC .they believe that they were the reasonD. the don’t know things often turn in the opposite direction69.According to the main passage, the underlined part in Paragraph 4 probablymeans that________.A. everything in the world is predeterminedB. there’s an explanation for everything in the worldC. the world can be interpreted in different waysD. we have to be sensible in order to understand the world70.What’s the main idea of the message?A .Life and death is an unsolved mystery.B. Never feel guilty all the time because not every disaster is our fault.C Every story should have a happy ending.D. In general, the survivors will feel guilty about the people who passedaway.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，选出最佳答案。

最新中职英语高考复习模拟试题及含答案：阅读理解（3）中职英语高考复习模拟试题及含答案：阅读理解阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）(A)Dear God,Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them.I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her more each day. My mother does not change, but I do. As I grow older and wiser, I realize what an extraordinary person she is. How sad that I am unable to speak these words in her presence, but they flow easily from my pen.How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself? For the love, patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child? For running after a toddler, for understanding a moody teenager, for tolerating a college student who knows everything? For waiting for the day when a daughter realizes how wise her mother really is?How does a grown woman thank a mother for continuing to be a mother? For being ready with advice (when asked) or remaining silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying, “I told you so”, when she could have saidthese words dozens of times? For being essentially herself -- loving, thoughtful, patient, and forgiving?I don't know how, dear God, except to bless her as richly as she deserves and to help me live up to the example she has set.I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as mymother looks in mine.A daughter51. According to the passage, the writer’s friends ________ before theirmothers died.A. could tell them their appreciationB. never completely said “thank you” to their mothersC. lived to their motherD. were very thankful52. What does the writer think of her mother?A. Changing.B. Happy.C. Loving, thoughtful, and forgiving.D. Outstanding.53. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. She has said “thank you” to her mother dozens of times.B. The writer’s mother is still al ive.C. The writer has been a mother.D. She wishes God to bless her mother.54. The underlined expression “flow easily from my pen”means________.A. express easily in wordsB. move out of her pen easilyC. write out without any difficulty in inkD. speak the words as soon as possible55. Why does the daughter write the letter?A. She feels sorry to her mother.B. She wants to tell God how much she loves her mother.C. She expects God to retell her appreciation to her mother.D. She wants to pray for her mother.(B)For a clearer picture of what the student knows, most teachers use another kind of examination in addition to objective tests. They use "essay” tests, which require students to write long answers to broad, general questions such as the following: "Mention several ways in which Benjamin Franklin has influenced thinking of people in his own country and in other parts of the world.”One advantage of the essay test is that it reduces the element of luck. The student cannot get a high score just by making a lucky guess. Another advantage is that it shows the examiner more about the student’s ability to put facts together into a meaningful whole. It should show how deeply he has thought about the subject.Sometimes, though, essay tests have disadvantages, too. Some students are able to write rather good answers without really knowing much about the subject, while other students who actually know the material have trouble expressing their ideas in the essay form. Besides, in an essay test the student’s sc ore may depend upon the examiner’s feelings at the time of reading the answer. If he is feeling tired or bored, the student may receive a lower score than he should. Another examiner reading the same answer might give it a much higher mark. Because of this, the objective test gives each student a fairer chance, and of course it is easier and quicker to score.Whether an objective test or an essay test is used, problems arise. When some objective questions are used along with some essay questions, however, a fairly clear picture of the student’sknowledge can usually be obtained.56. What may have been discussed in the previous paragraphs?A. The essay test.B. How teachers test their students.C. How students write their essays.D. The objective test.57. The essay test is preferred because ________.A. it shows more about the student’s understanding of th e subjectB. it tests the student’s knowledge of the material as well as hisexpression of ideasC. it gives each student a fairer chanceD. its scoring may be influenced by the examiner’s feelings58. The underlined word “this” ( Para 3 ) refers to the fact that ________.A. students may receive a lower score in an essay testB. another examiner usually gives the answer a higher markC. different examiners may give the same essay different scoresD. the objective test gives each student a fairer chance59. According to the passage, which of the following statements about theobjective test is NOT true?A. It is more objective than the essay test in terms of scoring.B. It allows the student to guess the correct answer without reallyknowing the material.C. It shows the student’s ability to think about difficultproblems.D. It is easy and quick to score.60. According to the author, an ideal test should be ________.A. an objective test.B. an essay test.C. a combination of the two.D. something new.（C）When Johnny Cash sings, people listen. His big, deep voice rumbles out of radios and juke-boxes across North America. His records sell by the million. Country-music fans everywhere know his big hits. They love songs like “Hey Porter”, “Ring of Fire”, and “Folsom Prison Blue”.Johnny Cash sings about a hundred concerts a year. People like what they hear and what they see, too. Rugged and big-shouldered, the singer stands six-two without his black boots on.He's a two-hundred-pound package of muscle and talent. And that scar (疤痕) on his cheek? It's a bullet hole, of course!In the minds of most people, Johnny Cash is “Mr. Tough (violent) Guy”. He's an ex-drug addict (上瘾者) who was once put in prison. His grandmother was an Indian. To keep from hunger he once had to live on wild rabbits killed from forty feet away with a knife. Some people say he even killed a man.In fact, most of the Johnny Cash story is just that--a story. True, years ago he had a “drug habit”for a short time. He “popped” pills. But he never used heroin (海洛因) or other “hard” drugs. Sometimes he'd go wild and get locked up for a few hours. But he never served a prison sentence.There's no Indian blood in his veins. He's been a killer only in a song. As for the “bullet hole", it's an old scar left by a doctorwho opened a cyst (囊肿).People who know Johnny Cash well say he's a “gentle guy”, a “generous guy”-- but not a “tough guy”. How did the stories get started? Some of them, like the story about the “Indian grandmother”, he made up long ago to add excitement to his career. Others, like the “bullet hole”, simply got started. Now there's little the singer can do to change people's minds. “They just want to believe it,” he says.61. Johnny Cash is a favorite of many ________.A. opera loversB. country music fansC. hard-rock fansD. jazz music lovers62. In truth, Johnny Cash ________.A. invented the “Indian grandmother”B. used to kill rabbits for a livingC. had a bullet hole on his cheekD. served a long prison sentence63. In his private life, Johnny Cash is, ________.A. much wilder than he looksB. much smaller than he is on stageC. much tougher than he is in publicD. much more gentle than most people suppose64. The passage shows us that many people believe ________.A. only what they seeB. what they think is trueC. only what they hearD. what they find interesting65. We can infer from the text that ________.A. All stories about Johnny Cash were made up by people.B. Country-music fans everywhere, know his big hits.C. Both his songs and his appearance impress his fans.D. Johnny Cash suffered a lot in his childhood.(D)If your recurring (经常性的) dreams are worrying you, you can re st assured and needn’t worry. Psychologists say in the vast majority of these cases, this is just the mind’s way of dealing with stress and conflicts (冲突), problems and concerns. It’s a good thing.They can be surprisingly vivid and real, or fragmented (零散的) and weird. They can be comforting or frightening. Our dreams can tell us a lot about what we are really thinking, particularly when we are at life’s passages or turning points. Dreams give us an x-ray of our unconsciousness (潜意识).Lisa Oppenheim had the same dream whenever she was about to move to a new home or a new city. It’s always just a feeling of needing to stay safe. Experts say disturbing dreams often occur around major life events. For Lisa, it was moving. For others, it can be marriage or divorce, the death of a loved one or pressure at work.Doctor Siegel has studied the meaning of dream for nearly 30 years.He believes stressful or upsetting dreams can be a sign of what’s buried deep inside our minds.He said, “Dreams are important to survival. They are very important to the balance of our psyche (心灵). They help us work out problems that we’re having every single day. They go to the cutting edge of what’s stressful, what’s bothering us and what we’re working out in our lives. Dreams can guide u s and in order to find that guidance, to find that deep source of wisdom that’sin our dreams every night, we need to pay attention to our dreams.”But many dreams are scary and horrible. How can we understand these nightmares? Doctor Siegel says they are reflecting especially intense emotion or unresolved conflict. The stronger the emotion in the dream, whether it’s pleasure or fear, the likelier the dream is to be important.Knowing what your recurring dreams or nightmares mean can be liberating. Some nightmares can be a sign of serious psychological problems, such as post-dramatic stress disorder. If they are extremely disturbing or violent or the cause of severe anxiety, you should see a professional therapist (治疗专家).66. By saying “Dreams give us an x-ray of our unconsciousness”, theauthor means that dreams _______.A. do harm to our mindB. show us our real mindC. solve our stress in mindD. give us a turning point in mind67. People will have recurring dreams when they _______.A. live with great pressure or have great eventsB. do the same things all their livesC. move to a new home or a new cityD. are comforted or frightened68. Which of the following is true according to Doctor Siegel?A. Dreams play a very important role in the world’s balance.B. Dreams help us find out the problems we need to solve.C. We should pay attention to every dream we have.D. Only the dreams with pleasure are important to us.69. How should we deal with the recurring nightmares?A. We should remember them because they are important to us.B. We can ignore them since they are just reflecting our emotions.C. We need to take some sleeping pills to stop this serious problem.D. We should see a psychological doctor if they are seriouslydisturbing.70. The purpose of the passage is _______.A. to introduce a variety of dreamsB. to offer some advice on avoiding nightmaresC. to compare recurring dreams with nightmaresD. to ease our anxiety on recurring dreams阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）51-55 BCABB 56-60 DACCC 61-65 BADBC 66-70 BABDD。

According to the passage, we know that .A. it is very difficult to learn sailingB. it is impossible to practice gymnastics at homeC. strength is needed to do highboard divingD. surfing offers you the excitement of riding a waveBYears ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The next building was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman living there, and I had never met her, yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself. “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看见). Her window was clean!Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my ownshortcomings?Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.59. The writer couldn’t see everything clearly through the window because ________.A. the woman’s window was dirtyB. the writer was near-sightedC. the woman lived nearbyD. the writer’s window was dirty60. “It dawned on me” probably means “________”.A.

It’s clear that ________.A. they both worked as cleanersB. the writer often washed the windowC. the writer had never met the woman beforeD. they lived in a small town62. From the passage, we can learn ________.A. one must judge himself before he judges othersB. one should often make his windows cleanC. one shouldn’t criticize others very oftenD. one must look at others through his dirty windowsCThe World Health Organization (WHO) planned to study the relationship between the eating habits of the people and the disease. Two doctors were chosen to make the study. They flew to Africa south of the Sahara and during the next two months visited ten countries. They found that serious diseases of poor eating, often mistaken for other diseases, existed in all parts of Africa. The diseases were similar and could therefore all be named kwashiorkor. The diseased children are usually from one to four years old. As the illness progresses, the child’s stomach becomes swollen by liquid collecting in the body. The skin changes color and may break out in open sores（疼痛）. The hair changes color and starts to fall out. The patient loses all interest in his surroundings and even in food, and becomes so weak that he wants to lie downall the time. Stomach liquids are no longer produced.The doctors reasoned that kwashiorkor was found in the young children of this age in many parts of Africa because of lack of milk or meat. Their mothers, after stopping their breastfeeding, gave them foods full of starches（淀粉）instead of greatly needed proteins. They found that the addition of milk to the food of the children suffering from kwashiorkor saved many lives.The unbelievable thing about kwashiorkor is that the very existence of the disease—which has been killing thousands of children for centuries—was not even recognized in Latin America as recently as ten years ago. The deaths of those children were mistakenly listed as due to other diseases. It was the WHO’s work in Africa that led to the discovery of the problem in Central America.63. From the passage we learn that kwashiorkor is a disease caused by __________ .A. poor living conditionsB. lack of proteins in foodC. breastfeedingD. lack of food64. It is difficult to discover kwashiorkor because ____________________ .A. it has no symptoms at allB. it is hard to identify signs of itC. it doesn’t last long enough for careful observationD. it is hardly different from other diseases65. What is mentioned as a simple but reasonable way of curing this disease?A. Taking a special medicine.B. Avoiding any food containing starch.C. Having more meat or milk.D. Taking medicine full of proteins.66. What’s the best title for the article?A. Milk and Meat Are Daily NecessitiesB. Kwashiorkor and Improper Eating HabitsC. A New Form of Illness in Africa and Latin AmericaD. A Case of Eating HabitsDIn 1885, a young doctor named Conan Doyle opened offices in London. He wanted to be a successful doctor, but for some reasons he never found enough patients. To pass the time, be began to write stories and send them to the newspapers.Conan Doyle’s stories were about a clever detective, Sherlock Holmes. ConanDoyle wrote that Sherlock Holmes lived in Baker Street in London, and people with problems came to Sherlock Holmes with their problems, too. He was able to solve mysteries that the cleverest policemen in England were unable to figure out. Sometimes Sherlock Holmes could solve a mystery without leaving his chair. He listened carefully to the information his client（委托人）gave and figured out the answer. At other times he spent days or weeks looking for clues. Sherlock Holmes traveled to different cities and countries to solve the mysteries. Sometimes he wore disguises, pretending to be an old man, or a sailor. Holmes did anything to find out the answer to the mysteries he was working on. His best friend Dr. Watson kept him company（陪伴）on most of his adventures.Sherlock Holmes is the most famous detective in English literature, but many people don’t understand that he is a fictional character, not a real person. The English post offices report that people still send mail to Sherlock Holmes in Baker Street. Even he gets more than 2,000 letters every year.67.

ATrapped on the 37th FloorMelinda Skaar wasn’t expecting any phone calls. Skaar was working late in her office at the First Internet Bank of California. By 10:45 that night she was almost ready to go home when the phone rang.Picking it up, she heard a guard shouting. There is a fire! Get out of there.Skaar didn’t panic. She figured that it was just a small fire. Her office building was huge. There were 62 floors and her desk was on the 37th floor.Skaar called out office mate Stephen Oksas, who also stayed late to work. But when they got out to the hallway, they were met by a cloud of black smoke. Rushing back, Skaar shut the door and filled the space at the bottom of the door with her jacket to keep the smoke out.Then they called 911. Before they could call their families, however, the line went dead. That meant that they were completely cut off from theoutside world. All they could do was wait and hope someone would come to rescue them.Minutes ticked by. Smoke began to float into the office. Soon it became hard for them to breathe.Looking around, Skaar noticed a small workroom. It seemed to have cleaner air. So they crowded there. That helped for a while, but in time even the workroom was filled with deadly smoke.Hopeless, they tried to break the windows, but the glass was not breakable. Everything they threw at just bounced back.Defeated, they struggled back to the workroom. They felt weak and dizzy. Soon Skaar found Oksas had passed out.Skaar and Oksas knew they were lucky to be alive. “Sunday is my birthday”, Skaar told a reporter. She would be turning 29, but she knew she had already got the best present possible ----the gift of life.56. What did Skaar and Oksas do when they were stopped by the fire?A. They called their families.B. They waited where they were.C. They rushed back and shut the door.D. They tried to run down the stairs.57. The following helped Skaar and Oksas survive the fire except_________.A. breaking the windows to get some fresh airB. calling 911 for helpC. crowding in a small workroom for clean airD. shutting the door and keeping the smoke out with a jacket58. What can we conclude from S kaar’s action in the fire?A. She is cleverer than Oksas.B. She remained calm in the face of danger.C. She was trained as a firefighter.D. She had had the experience of being caught in fire.BThe London Pass is the final sightseeing package that has been specially tailor-made（定做的）for visitors to the city.

The person in front of me at the checkout was using a WIC card to check out and it kept telling her that it wasn’t working. A manager came over and told her to come to a different register; maybe this one was the problem. After I checked out, I noticed she was still there, trying to get her card to work.It was obvious that the young woman was getting anxious about the purchase so I offered to pay for her purchase. She was shocked. She thanked me and I went on my way with a smile from her.Everyone needs a helping hand sometimes and you never know when it will be your turn. Today I found that it was indeed my turn.I went boating north of the city. It was a very hot, sunny day so I bought a large container of sports drink, thinking it would be plenty to drink. I didn’t have a clear expectation of the drain(消耗) which the heat would have on me. Before I got back to shore, I realized that I had finished the bottle. I still had to get back, load the boat on the car, and it would be at least a 10-minute drive to somewhere to buy more to drink. When I got back to shore and managed to dray my boat to the car and get it tied, I was very hot and thirsty. So, I swallowed my pride and asked a family picnicking nearby if they had an extra bottle of water, which they gladly gave me. That bottle of water wasn’t a big deal to them, but it meant a great deal to me.The little things that can be done for others don’t usually seem important to the people doing them, but it can be huge to the receivers.

McDonald’s will reduce the amount of French fries inHappy Meals and will also include sliced apple “dippers” in every meal. McDonald’s say it will still include the ever-popular toys with each meal.“We are going to introduce more food groups such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains,” said Cindy Goody, McDonald’s senior director of nutrition.After getting much of the blame for childhood obesity, fast food chains, especially McDonald’s, began selling more nutritious menu items. But the restaurant was most criticized for its marketing which is often aimed at young children. Some cities, such as San Francisco, California, have banned toys from all kids’ meals that didn’t meet strict nutritional guidelines for fat, salt and sugar content（含量）because the prizes attracted more children to the fast food.McDo nald’s felt public pressure to change their offerings. It reduced French fry portions from 2.4oz to 1.1oz（盎司）in every meal. This decreases calorie content by about 20 percent, which means a new Happy Meal is less than 600 calories.Meanwhile, Goody and her team plan to cut sodium（苏打）by 15 percent across the entire menu by 2015, with more cuts to sugar and calories by 2020. The Happy Meal changes will be in place in every place across the United States.67. A former Happy Meal includes about ________.A. 750 caloriesB. 700 caloriesC. 600 caloriesD. 420calories68.
