The dyed bun scandal (染色馒头丑闻) deals another blow to shoppers' confidence

in buying food products, as well as the reputation of local sellers. Li Zhen reports on

shopp ers’ reactions in Shanghai.

An investigation by the municipal government revealed that Shanghai Shenglu Food Company produced more than 3,000 steamed buns daily. These were then sold across the

city, including large supermarkets such as Hualian, Lianhua and Dia.

Fewer steamed buns were for sale at this Lianhua Supermarket. More than 32,000 buns were taken off store shelves when the scandal emerged.

Mr. Wang, Sales Manager of Lianhua Supermarket, said, “We removed the dyed steamed buns produced by Shenglu as soon as we learned of the incident. We gave customers who had bought the steamed buns from our outlets refunds with their receipts. Despite the scandal, our sales volume has been fine so far.”

However, most customers we met remained concerned about food safety. Steamed buns are a regular breakfast food for Ms. Gao. She used to buy them mostly from supermarkets because she felt it was in a clean and safe environment.

But now, she has second thoughts about buying the popular snack.

Ms. Gao, Shanghai shopp er, said, “I can’t believe that even steamed buns from the supermarkets are no longer safe. The only places I trusted to shop at were major supermarkets and specialist shops. But now even there, product quality cannot be guaranteed. I really don't know where to buy my goods from in the future.

Shoppers at supermarkets who still bought steamed buns said they had few options. “I feel like giving up supermarkets. But I really don’t know where to do my food shopping. I can't make these things myself.” said Ms. Tang, Shanghai shopper.

36. The colored buns were sold in some large supermarkets EXCEPT ______.

A. Hualian

B. Lianhua

C. Shenglu

D. Dia

37. What Ms. Gao and Ms. Tang said suggests that ______.

A. they still trust major supermarkets when shopping

D. they feel confused about where to buy safe food

38. The underlined word in the last paragraph can be replaced by ______.

A. choices

B. ideas

C. hints

D. marks

39. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Major supermarkets removed the dyed steamed buns.

B. Dyed steamed buns brought great loss to major supermarkets.

C. Famous supermarkets are involved in the bun scandal.

D. Dyed bun scandal hurts con sumers’ confidence.

40. Where can you most probably read the passage?

A. In a fashion magazine.

B. In a newspaper.

US researchers have found traces of an ancient lake on Mars recently, increasing hopes of discovering evidence that billions of years ago the Red planet

hosted life.

The lake, which dates back some 3.4 billion years, appears to have covered as

much as 80 square miles and was up to 1,500 feet deep, said the team from the University of Colorado.

"This is the first clear evidence of shorelines on the surface of Mars," said Boulder's research associate, Gaetano Di Achille, in a study published in the latest edition of Geophysical Research Letters.

"The identification of the shorelines and accompanying geological evidence allows us to calculate the size and volume of the lake, which appears to have formed about 3.4 billion years ago."

Analysis of the images has shown the water carved out the canyon (溪谷) in which it was found, which then opened out into a valley depositing (使淤积) sediment (沉积) which formed a delta (三角洲).

"Finding shorelines is a great discovery to us," said assistant professor Brian Hynek, adding it showed the lake existed at a time when Mars was thought to have been cold and dry.

Scientists believe the oldest surfaces on Mars formed during the wet and warm era known as the Noachan epoch, about 4.1 billion to 3.7 billion years ago.

The newly discovered lake is believed to date from the Hesperian era and postdates the end of the warm and wet period on Mars by 300 million years, according to the study.

Scientists believe deltas next to the lake may well hold secrets about past life on Mars as such places on Earth have become the natural deposits of organic carbon and other markers of life.

41. The size of the lake found on Mars is ______.

A. 80 square miles

B. 1,500 square miles

C. 3.4 billion square miles

D. 300 million square miles

42. When the lake existed, the weather on Mars was ____.

A. hot and wet

B. wet and warm

C. cold and dry

D. cold and wet

43. Why do scientists think deltas near the lake may hold secrets about past life on Mars?

A. Because similar places on Earth have become natural deposits of markers of life.

B. Because someone has put secrets about past life on Mars there.

C. Because past life has been found in other deltas on Mars.

D. Because some people are said to have already seen life marks there.

44. How many researchers does the passage mention?

A. Two.

B. Three.

C. Four.

D. Five.

45. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The Noachan epoch was a wet and warm era.

B. The lake might have existed 3.4 billion years.

C. The di scovery can’t fully prove that the Mars once hosted life.

D. The lake traces prove that there exists life on Mars now.

C

You wake up in the morning,the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings,you say hello, and the drama starts.The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to.You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!

Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness.It may not change what you think,but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.

Life brings ups and downs,but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer.They only feel glad when they make others feel bad.No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.

When you communicate with positive people,your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted.When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you,you feel the heavy feeling that all in all,brings you down.

Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people.This could be a co-worker,or a relative.In this case,say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person,but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.

Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized.The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day,which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness.Life is too short to feel negative.Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.

46. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______.

A. make a comparison

B. offer an evidence

C. introduce a topic

D. describe a daily scene

47. How can negative people have effect on us?

A. By influencing our emotion.

B. By telling us the nature of life.

C. By changing our ways of thinking.

D. By comparing their attitudes to life with ours.

48. Some negative people base their happiness on _______.

A. other people’s pity for them

B. making other people unhappy

C. building up a positive attitude

D. other people’s respect for them

49. According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us,we are advised to ______.

A. change negative people’s attitudes to life

B. show our dissatisfaction to negative people

C. make negative people feel ashamed of themselves

D. communicate with negative people as little as possible

50. What is the author’s attitude towards negative people?

A. Favorable.

B. Critical.

C. Indifferent.

D. Supportive.

D

I once had a friend that was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the news that he might only

live up to six months was a great shock to him, his family, and his friends. However, in spite of the serious illness, he was initially determined to look into all available treatments that might cure or extend his life. I think that when you find yourself in such situations, you tend to look up every possible way for hope of saving your life.

As months went on and his health grew worse, I noticed an unexpected change in attitude that came over him. He had also been a happy person with a cheerful personality, but rather than give in to discouragement and self-pity, he took comfort in God and humanity. His talks focused on others rather than himself, and he spoke of the afterlife as something he was prepared for, believing that his concerned ancestors, including his mother and father, were there waiting for him.

During the last few months, weeks, and days of his life, he was kindly cared for by family, friends, his loving wife, who looked after both his physical and emotional needs, and workers from a local hospice (安养院) came to the home to regulate his medication and provide any other needed support. He didn't complain about his fate, and he willingly allowed others to serve him.

Indeed, one might think why God allows death and suffering in our world, but for me, such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness for others. You often can't learn these important attributes in the lap of luxury, and perhaps, such an experience is the greatest and final gift the illness can give those left behind.

51. Which word can best describe the man's initial reaction as soon as he was diagnosed with cancer?

A. Satisfied.

B. Surprised.

C. Terrified.

D. Confused.

52. What did the man do after he first learned of his illness?

A. He was operated on immediately.

B. He retired from his job.

C. He researched cancer treatments.

D. He felt sad, doing nothing.

53. What was the man's main source of comfort after several months with the disease?

A. His family and friends.

B. His belief in humanity.

C. His doctors’ encouragement.

D. The care from others.

54. What did the author learn from his friend’s story?

A. Giving more respect to friends.

B. Extending life as possible.

C. Caring for yourself and enjoying luxury.

D. Getting comfort from God.

55. What does the author mainly want to tell?

A. All people will face death, and thus, we must prepare for it spiritually.

B. Our characters can be strengthened by such an unpleasant situation.

C. Families provide the best support system during such a crisis.

D. People should help those who have got serious illness.

答案解析

第一节单项填空

1.【解析】选A。考查冠词的用法。which happened in March, 2011是定语从句修饰前面的earthquake,故earthquake是特指,故用the;disaster“灾难”,是一个可数名词,所以应该用a。

本句为一个强调句,从句中I bought my new coat中缺少地点状语,用where来引导。

13.【解析】选D。考查固定短语。本题句意为“—吉姆在纽约的时候住的离学校很近。—难怪他上课很少迟到”。no doubt毫不怀疑;no problem没问题;no sense没道理;no wonder 难怪。

第四部分写作

【参考范文】

It’s said Shandong province will cancel the div ision of liberal art class and science class in senior middle schools since the year of 2012.

Some people are against the cancellation, because they believe that if there is no division, students have to learn too many subjects, which is certain to increase their burden.

But I’m for it. Both liberal art and science, like the wings of a bird as shown in the picture, are worth learning, because they develop our all-round abilities, which is essential in modern society. Besides, we students can also master two different ways of thinking by balancing the two.

Just like the bird in the picture says “I can fly higher with my two wings—liberal art and science”, I believe that we students can develop better with a balance of subjects.

It speaks 36 than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more 37 than we realize. In fact, non-verbal(非语言)communication takes up about 50% of what we really 38 . And body language is particularly 39 when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so 40 a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. 41 , different societies treat the 42 between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having 43 contact(接触)even with friends, and certainly not with 44 . People from Latin American countries 45 touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it's possible that in 46 , it may look like a Latino is 47 a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 48 . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep 49 - which the Latino will in return regard as 50 . Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 51 . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from 52 cultures, there's a strong possibility of 53 . But whatever the situation, the best 54 is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be 55 . 2012年高考英语全国卷1完形填空翻译: 肢体语言是安静的,秘密的,也是所有语言中最强大的。它远远胜过说出的语言。专家指出,我们的身体发出的信息比我们所了解的更多。事实上,非语言交流占据了我们真正意思的50%。当我们试图跨文化交流时,肢体语言尤为重要。确实,所谓的肢体语言是我们如此大的一部分,而事实上它却经常被忽视。误解也就由此而来。例如,不同的社会对待人与人之间的距离就截然不同。北欧人通常不喜欢身体接触,即便是朋友,所以更不可能跟陌生人。另一方面,拉丁美洲的人身体接触却比较多。因此,在谈话中有可能时一个拉丁人跟着一个挪威人在房间里走动。为了表达友好的拉丁人会一直靠近。而挪威人有可能觉得这种行为非常粗鲁,所以他会一直后退,保持距离—拉丁人会认为这是一种冷漠。 诚然,当人们在交谈时很多事情都在发生。但是,只有很少一部分在语言本身当中。当交谈双方来自不同文化时,误解是极有可能发生的。但是,不管是什么样的情形,最好的建议是遵守这个黄金法则:像你希望被对待的那样对待别人。
