They look like bright spots of light dancing on the breeze. Catching them in a jar for a few minutes can be fun. Fireflies are not really flies, though. They are winged beetles. Scientists are using these special beetles to learn more about our world.The reason a firefly flashed its light is to find a mate. There are around two thousand species, or kinds, of fireflies. Fireflies mate only with their own species. Each kind of firefly has its own flash pattern. It is important that fireflies recognize this pattern. That way they can find bugs of their own kind. The male firefly flies around in the sky while the female firefly stays close to the ground.For many years, how a firefly flashes its light was a mystery. Scientists now know that a firefly’s light is a cold light. It gives off all of its power as light. It does not produce heat. A normal light bulb gives off only ten percent of its power as light. The rest of the power is wasted as heat. That is why a light bulb that has been on fo r a while is very hot. The firefly’s light does not feel hot like a light bulb.Scientists have also learned that fireflies have a small built-in lantern. This special lantern is located inside a firefly’s body. To create light, a gas flows through tiny tubes. This causes the firefly to light up. A firefly can also turn its light on and off quickly. This puzzled scientists. They learned that short bursts of this gas make the firefly glow. When the gas fades, the light goes out. This process happens very quickly.Scientists know that what they learn from fireflies will be important. Medical studies using fireflies are helping scientists fight illnesses in human beings. They have made new medicines from the chemicals used by fireflies to make light. Fireflies have also helped with new discoveries. New flashlights and flares have been made based on fireflies. These new flashlights and flaresproduce a cold light like a firefly. This way all the power makes the light shine. This little bug may be a pleasure to watch, but it is also an important part of our lives.1．Why did the author most likely include Paragraph 4?A. To explain how fireflies make light.B. To describe different kinds of fireflies.C. To show how much power fireflies use.D. To describe why fireflies make light. 2．Which of these is the best choice for a heading for Paragraph 5?A. The Cool Light of FirefliesB. Watching Fireflies FlashC. Understanding the PatternsD. Learning from Fireflies3．According to the passage, a firefly’s light is different from a light bulb’s light because the firefly’s light _______.A. shines brighterB. does not fadeC. lasts longerD. is not hot4．A reader asks this question about the passage: “ How many different kinds of fireflies are there?” Which paragraph from the passage answers the question?A. Paragraph 2B. Paragraph 3C. Paragraph 4D. Paragraph 55．The author most likely wrote this passage in order to __.A. tell why fireflies light upB. give facts about firefliesC. show how fireflies help doctorsD. compare a firefly to a light bulbCLife Is Difficult.It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent(代表) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause in us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are un comfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning.Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability(能力) to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.1．From the passage, it can be inferred that ______.A. everybody has problemsB. we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of lifeC. life is difficult because our problems bring us painD. people like to complain about their problems2．The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to ______.A. save spaceB. persuade readersC. make readers laughD. get reader's attention3．The main idea of paragraph 3 is that ______.A. most people feel life is easyB. the writer feels life is easyC. the writer likes to complain about his problemsD. most people complain about how hard their lives are4．According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to ______.A. encourage them to learnB. teach them to fear the pain of solving problemsC. help them learn to deal with painD. teach them how to respect for problemsDDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture．For example，someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guy's a winner，right? Maybe，maybe not．We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets，and only one was a winner．He’s really a big loser!He didn’t say anything that was false，but he left out important information on purpose．That’s called a half-truth．Half truths are not technically lies，but they are just as dishonest．Some politicians often use this tri ck．Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s la st term，her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．Then she seeks an other term．One of her opponents(对手)says，“During Governor Smith’s term，the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true．However，an honest statement would have been，“During Governor Smith's term，the state had a net gain of two m illion jobs．’’Advertisers will sometimes use half—truths．It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth．An advertisement might say，“Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache．”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company．This kind of deception happens too often．It’s a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can 1ie as w ell．1．How much did the lottery winner lose?A．one hundred dollars．B．Two hundred dollars．C．Three hundred dollars．D．Four hundred dollars．2．We may infer that the author believes people should ________.A．buy lottery tickets if possible B．make use of half—truthsC．be careful about what they are told D．not trust the Yucky Company3．How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?A．One．B．Two．C．Three．D．Four．4．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Using half truths is against the law．B．Technically，half truths are in fact lies．C．Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache．D．Governor Smith did a good job during her last term．5．Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A．He’s really a big loser!B．Sometimes the truth can lie as well．C．Advertisers will sometimes use half truths．D．It’s against the law to make false statements．第II卷（非选择题）四、阅读填空阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在相应位置上。

But forgiveness is possible—and it can be surprisingly 16 to your physical and 17 health.“People who always forgive others18 less depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness,” says Frederic Luskin, Ph.D., the19 of Forgive for Good. “So it can help 20 on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune（免疫的）system and 21 people to feel more v ital.”So how do you start the forgiveness? Try 22 these steps:Calm yourself. To defuse your 23 , try a simple stress-management technique. “Take a couple of breaths and think of 24 that gives you pleasure: a 25 scene in nature, some one you love,” Luskin says.Don’t 26 an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you has no27 of apologizing,” Luskin says. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same 28 . So if you wait for people to apologize you could be waiting a(n) 29 long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean 30 to the person who upsets you. Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying（重播）your 31 gives power to the person who cau sed you pain. “32 focusing on your hurt feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness 33 you,” Luskin says.Try to see things from the other person’s view. If you empathize（把感情移入）with that person, you may 34 that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear—even love.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness. Research has shown that people who always forgive others will get more energy, better 35 and better sleep.Don’t forget to forgive yourself.“For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge,” Luskin says. But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.”16. A. beneficial B. harmful C. helpless D. suitable17. A. chemical B. wealthy C. technical D. mental18.

At times, the tip will equal the amount of one of the main dishes—sometimes it comes to about 30 per cent of the bill. I feel 15—20 per cent is adequate for services offered and depending on the type of restaurant. At a cafe I would like to leave 15 per cent or a bit more depending on the service and etc. A larger tip would be appropriate if we are in a big city or a nicer place. My friend says “Well, I am sure they are not driving a Mercedes (奔驰汽车).” Well, neither am I, and how does she know? Who is correct and how can I make changes? I might add I do truly feel tipping should be based on good service, and also if you frequent a place and know the staff a larger tip is OK. I would never hesitate to tip a waitperson. I always leave to the higher side.Yours,Barbara BadeBarbara Bade,Americans are more generous tippers than the British. I suspect that 10 per cent for a tip is about normal in the UK. Tipping is a strange survival in our age of supposed equality and minimum wages. Your friend has a generous nature and deep purse. I do not see why you cannot let her tip whatever she wants, and do your own thing. I agree that a tip should be a reward for good service and general good feeling. If the service is rotten and the meal a disaster, we should withhold a tip and explain why we are doing so. Few of us have the chutzpah (厚颜) to do this. Sensible restaurants have a box for tips, so that they are shared out among the staff, including those in the kitchens whom we do not see. (I trust that the management does not receive the money as extra profit.) I look forward to the day when waiters and other servants are paid a good enough living wage, so that they do not have to depend on the generosity of strangers to survive. To wait at table is just as honorable a way to earn a living in this wicked world. If you are pleased with the meal and cheerful service, you should tip as han dsomely as your purse affords. I don’t suppose that your waiter / waitress is driving a Mercedes, even in the States.Yours,Philip Howard36. We can learn from the first letter that Barbara prefers ___________.A. changing her own ideas on how to tip waitersB. leaving a bigger tip to the familiar waitpersonsC. eating at a café rather than in a nice restaurantD. saving as much money as possible for herself37. It can be inferred that Barbara’s friend tips waiters heavily ________.A. to show that she is well offB. because they are thought to be poorly paidC. to show that she is generousD. because they have offered her full service38. Besides quality of service, Philip regards __________ as principles of tipping.A. taste of food and amount of one’s moneyB. taste of food and the number of servantsC. generosity of strangers and the number of servantsD. amount of one’s money and generosity of strangersBWith alarming regularity, we read about oil tankers having accidents near land and the terrible consequences of the oil spills （泄露）on people, nature, and the environment．Millions of dollars have been used in developing special chemicals to help dismiss the spills and to clean up the animals, beaches, and land spoiled by the oil．Unfortunately, when many of these chemicals are used, more damage is caused to the environment, especially to lives in the sea．Of all of today's environmental disasters, an oil spill may actually be one of the least serious．Although oil is poisonous, it is a natural material．In the end, it breaks down naturally．There are, of course, long-term effects, but it is usually more serious in the short term．Nature by itself works better than chemical materials, but when there is a spill we demand that governments act immediately with as much hi-tech knowledge as possible．In 1967 the tanker Torrey Canyon sank off the Scilly Isles near the coast of England and spilled 120,000 tones of oil into the ocean．If you go there today, you will find it hard to see any sign that it ever happened．Governments seem to accept the risk of transporting millions of tons of oil by ship every day so that we can fill up our cars and drive around and cause even more environmental damage．Interestingly, the biggest companies in the world produce cars, and the next biggest supply the gasoline to make them run IWe should be thinking more about reducing our dependency on oil．Governments should be encouraging research into new technologies, such as cars run by solar power （太阳能）, electricity, hydrogen, and so on．Much of this research has, in the past, been held back by the oil, gas, and coal．If the world's millions of cars were 10% more efficient （高效的）—and the industry could easily produce cars at least twice as efficient ?we would need many fewer tankers crossing the oceans each year．If this happened, the risks of oil spills would be reduced, and the air we breathe would be cleaner and fresher, too．39．What is the passage mainly talking about?A．Oil spills pollution．B．What oil pollution is．C．Oil tanker accidents. D．How to reduce oil pollution.40．How does the author support the idea that oil spills are not as serious as people believe?A．By giving a description．B．By making an argument．C．By giving an example．D．By drawing a diagram．41．What does the underlined word "risk" in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．Transportation depending more on oil．B．Poisonous oil breaking down naturally．C．Millions of tons of oil spilling into the sea．D．More environmental damage being caused．42．Which suggestion, is made for reducing oil tank accidents according to the passage?A．We should build safer tankers in the near future．B．We should develop new technologies to cut oil use．C．Tankers should not be allowed to sail near the coastlines．D．Countries should build more oil pipelines under the sea．CFriendship is one of the basic bonds (纽带) between human beings. While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft (失去). If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to articulate（清楚表达）their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief.“No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Extroverts (性格外向者) enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas introverts （性格内向者）are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships.Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of intimacy (密切) is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one’s life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Irrespective of the level of intimacy, all friendships are based on reciprocity（相互性）, honesty and a certain amount of love and affection.43．The second paragraph implies that _____..A. teenagers without friends will suffer from psychological problemsB. a widow or a widower will die very soon without companionshipC. human beings need companionship and a sense of belongingD. both A and B44．The degree of intimacy of friendship mainly depends on _____ .A. ageB. belongingC. personalityD. culture45．The author thinks that close friends _____ .A. can be easily formed when one is youngB. cannot be long-lastingC. are not rare for everyoneD. are rare for most people46．The word “irrespective”(Last sentence, Para. 5) means _____ .A. not respectingB. dishonoringC. regardlessD. Considering第II卷（非选择题）四、阅读填空Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.As we all know, all the governments in the world collect taxes（税）, but what are they and what are they used for? Some people may not know about them.There are two kinds of taxes. One of the most important taxes is income-taxes which a person pays according to the amount of his income. Whatever he is, he must pay tax if income is more than a certain amount. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money directly to the government.Another tax is paid on goods. When they are brought into a country, such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops. We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeepers.People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on what they need. On one hand, we need policemen and soldiers to protect us from danger. Meanwhile, we also need schools and teachers for our children. On the other hand, we need officials and workers to serve us. Above all, we need money to develop our nation.Taxes, therefore, can’t be avo ided. We have no real reason to complain when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the good of ourselves and for our fellow-citizens.Title: 47 are necessary in our lifeSources People→Taxes _48__of taxes Tax-payers49People whose income is over a certainamountIndirect tax __52_50 Taxes→51 On safety—53On education— 5455 —Officials and workers On development—56五、书面表达全体高三学生目前正处在紧张复习迎考的氛围中。

2013年徐州宿迁第三次质量检测【阅读解析】主编：周龙明，孙三五总审：孙三五编写人员：周霞房亮卓文后A【图式导读】本文是一篇有关哀悼者出租被雇来在葬礼上哭的新闻报道，文章来源于中国日报。

【解析】56. C。

细节理解题。

较易。

抓住题干中的false mourner定位至由第一段第一句to make people believe the deceased was really popular和第三段最后一句just to make up the numbers可知选项C为正确答案。

A、B、D文章均未提及，所以可以排除。

【解题思路】本文是新闻报道，其首段一般会点明写作目的、人物和主旨。

另外，含有目的的短语或句子是题眼。

57. D。

细节理解题。

较易。

选项A中sadly and loudly文章未提及；文章第三段明确提到rather than professional actors，所以排除选项B；选项C中出现all，而文章没有说一定要与“所有”哀悼者交流，所以排除选项C。

而由文章第四段最后一句so our staff will either have known the deceased professionally or socially可知答案为D。

考生注意，so是文章的路标词，是题眼所在。

58. B。

推理判断题。

中等。

文章第五段The company also has plans to expand，此处expand“扩展”是关键词，而且下文也提到turn down more than 60 requests because the funerals were too far away and the nearer funerals were waiting there，说明主要原因还是因为人手不够，所以舍弃远的了，而选项B里出现short-handed，所以确定为正确答案。

这里because是路标词，也是题眼所在。

For one thing, their dishonest behavior is a violation of one of the norms of civilized society that everyone should follow. For another, such sports stars failed to influence people in a positive way, especially kids, who might be misled to believing personal gains by fair means or foul are part of success.When it comes to hero-themed education, parents play a vital role. They had better highlight virtues and values sports stars display like, keeping challenging themselves and not quitting when things get tough rather than following their examples at a superficial level. Next, parents should make it clear that role models do not have to be perfect. How their kids see their failures and mistakes matters.听力材料Text 1M: Hey, Lucy. I want to go swimming this weekend.

The next thing is to decide exactly what you want and how much you can afford. Think about what cities or neighborhoods you’d like to live in and what you’d like for your local neighborhood. Write down what features are important to you, such as parking, public transportation and security. Then you start hunting. Search every website you can find, and start going through the ads. It is probably best to start by picking out all the apartments that are within your price range and then check the location and traffic. Then make the call — but prepare yourself for disappointment. Apartments that look good on the Internet often turn out to be disappointing. And of course, you find that allthe really great apartments have just been taken.。
