Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing，our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身），nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you ca n’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey (传递)certainmessages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances， so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员),because those people represent（代表） the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates（候选人）, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.36. Which of the following is the newspaper editor’ opinion according to Paragraph 2?A. People’s appearances carry messages about the mselves.B. Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies.C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.37. What can be inferred from the text?A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.38. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Employees MatterB. Personal Choices MatterC. Appearances MatterD. Hiring Managers Matter39. The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best bedescribed as _______________.A. enthusiasticB. negative C positive D. sympathetic(同情的)BWith the Tesla Roadster and other plug-in (插入式) electric vehicles hitting the road，demand is growing for accessible refueling points to recharge(充电) them. Carbon Day Automotive, a Chicago-based company，has now demonstrated（演示）a solar-powered recharging point, known as the Solar Plug-In Station，which lets motorists easily charge their cars using electricity that has been produced without any environmental damage.The Solar Plug­In Station has gone on show in Chicago as part of the city’s bid （竞标）to host the 2016 Olympic Games. According to Carbon Day Automotive，the Solar Plug-In Station on show in Chicago is part of the vital infrastructure(基础设施) required for electric vehicles in Chicago and was the focus of a recent visit by the International Olympic Committee.These solar­powered electricity points will be used daily to fuel the city’s electric vehicles with power from the sun. By producing the electricity from pollution-free solar cell, the CO2 emissions are reduced to zero.“Solar energy and elect ric vehicles are a partnership that is one more step to reducing our dependence on foreign oil,” says Richard Lowenthal, CEO of Coulomb Technologies.Coulomb Technologies recently developed the components (部件) required for individual recharging stations，marketed as ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations.Carbon Day Automotive is the Midwest distributor for the ChargePoint stations.The Solar Plug-In Station consists of giant solar panels (电池板) that shade the tiny ChargePoint Networked Charging Station.The solar panel is connected to an underground battery pack，ready for everyday refueling.“Without these stations it would be like driving around in a traditional car without the availability of gas stations，” s ays Scott Emalfarb，CEO at Carbon Day.“The day of true plug­in electric vehicles will be here sooner than most people realize and the world needs to be ready to accommodate（为……提供场地）them.”40．The Solar Plug-In Station is used as part of the bid to host the Olympics mainly because ________.A. it’s environmentally friendlyB. it makes up for the lack of electricityC. it’s a new idea and attracts people’s attentionD. it brings convenience to electric vehicle users41．We can learn from the passage that ________.A. to recharge the electric vehicles takes a long timeB. the Solar Plug-In Station will come into use in 2016C. the Solar Plug-In Station has gone on show internationallyD. Chicago is promoting the use of electric vehicles42．According to the passage，how many of the following statements are TRUE? a. Tesla Roadster is a kind of plug-in electric vehicle.b. The Solar Plug-In Station uses solar power to charge all of the cars.c. Chicago is a city，which is rich in oil.d. The Solar Plug-In Station consists of underground battery packs.e. Scott Emalfarb is optimistic about the future of plug-in electric vehicles.A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5.43．The passage implies that when the Solar Plug-In Station becomes popular，________.A. more visitors will come to ChicagoB. the citizens of Chicago will be able to go to work fasterC. more space for electric vehicles will be neededD. the cost of electric vehicles will be lower than traditional carsBHave you ever noticed that some people are able to effortlessly remember even the most boring details, and quickly understand new things, and wished that you too could be like that? To unlock the full potential of your brain, you need to keep it active and acute. But how? Check out these tips:● Exercise & get your body movingExercising doesn’t just exercise the body; it also helps to exercise your brain. Without regular exercise your blood vessels (血管) begin to lose the ability to effectively pump blood and it also reduces the amount of oxygen and nutrients (养分) that your blood carries to your brain. When the nutrients don’t make it there, the brain’s ability to function is compromised. To prevent this from happening, make sure you get moving every day. Walking, swimming and dancing are all excellent activities.● Get rid of stressors and seek help for depressionAmong the most brain-damaging stressors is severe depression, which is actually often mistaken for a memory problem since one of its primary symptoms is the inabilit y to concentrate. If you can’t concentrate, you might feel like you are constantly forgetting things. Depression increases the levels of cortisol (醇) in your brain, which affects your memory. Seek professional help to get rid of your depression — your brain will thank you.● Feed your brain50 to 60 percent of the brain’s overall weight is pure fat, which is used to insulate (隔离) its billions of nerve cells. The better insulated a cell is, the quicker you will bethinking. This is exactly why parents are advised to feed their young children whole milk. Thus, eating foods that contain a healthy mix of fats is vital for long-term memory. Some excellent food choices include fish and dark leafy green vegetables.44. According to paragraph 2, what may happen to us if we seldom take exercise?A. Our brain can’t function well.B. No oxygen comes to our brain.C. More nutrients will be carried to brain.D. More blood will be pumped effectively.45. The real cause of the inability to focus is _____.A. poor memoryB. serious depressionC. little exerciseD. unhealthy eating46. Why should parents feed their babies whole milk?A. Because less than half of the brain’s overall weight is pure fat.B. Because whole milk is very easy for babies to digest.C. Because no other food is more suitable for babies than milk.D. Because babies’ brains need fat to grow and work properly.47. Where does the text probably come from?A. A science textbook.B. A news report.C. A health magazine.D. A medicine introduction.CResearchers in London and Bristol have found that men are particularly likely to yield to depression if their partners are also depressed.The finding highlights the importance of paying attention to the partners of depressed mothers, as young children themselves are vulnerable (容易受伤的) to social problems if both parents are depressed.Researchers in London and at the University of Bristol launched their study to investigate whether family structure affects the likelihood of depression in men around the time their child is born. They looked at men from traditional families, men with children from a previous relationship, men whose partners had children by a former partner, and men who were not living with their partners.All 7,108 participants filled out a questionnaire on depression, and answered questions about their age, education level and employment status. Details about the quality of their relationships with their partners, networks of friends and previous life events were also recorded.About 3.5 percent of the men and 13 percent of their partners suffered depression around the time their child was born. While men in stepfamilies or who were not living with their partners were twice as likely to get depressed as those in traditional families, this could be explained by other factors that are more common in nontraditional families, such as poor education and relationship conflicts.Even allowing for all these factors, however, the partners of women who were suffering from prenatal (围产期的) depression were significantly more likely to become depressed themselves, the researchers report in an American journal. Ten percent of women who were depressed had depressed partners. For the healthy women, the figure was only 2.6 percent.Previous research suggests that families with two depressed parents may need special attention. A researcher in Atlanta has found that primary school children with two troubled parents have difficulty relating to their peers. “It’s extremely important to look at th e whole family.” she says.48.What can we conclude from the first two paragraphs of this passage?A. Men often beat their children.B. Depressed women often have depressed partners.C. All young children are vulnerable to social problems.D. Women with children often have depressed partners.49.Why did researchers in London and Bristol carry out such an investigation?A. To see what kind of family environment is ideal for children to grow up in.B. To study whether family structure affects depression in men when their child isborn.C. To investigate why so many men get depressed when a child is born.D. To see whether it is true that behind every depressed man there is a depressedwoman.50.What kind of men is least likely to get depressed when their child was born?A. Men in stepfamilies.B. Men who were not living with their partners.C. Men in traditional families.D. Men in nontraditional families.四、七选五(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。

高三英语寒假作业（九）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AA newly-published study has shown that loneliness can spread from one person to another, like a disease. Researchers used information from the Framingham Study, which began in 1948. The Framingham Study gathers information about physical and mental health, personal behavior and diet. At first, the study involved about 5,000 people in the American state of Massachusetts. Now, more than 12,000 individuals are taking part.Information from the Framingham Study showed earlier that happiness can spread from person to person. So can behaviors like littering and the ability to stop smoking.University of Chicago psychologist John Cacioppo led the recent study. He and other researchers attempted to show how often people felt lonely. They found that the feeling of loneliness spread through social groups.Having a social connection with a lonely person increased the chances that another individual would feel lonely. In fact, a friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. A friend of that person was 25% more likely. The researchers say this shows that a person could indir ectly be affected by someone’s loneliness.The effect was strongest among friends. Neighbors were the second most affected group. The effect was weaker on husbands and wives, and brothers and sisters. The researchers also found that loneliness spread more easily among women than men.The New York Times newspaper reports that, on average, people experience feelings of loneliness about 48 days a year. It also found that every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about five percent, or two and a half fewer lonely days.Loneliness has been linked to health problems like depression and sleeping difficulties. The researchers believe that knowing the causes of loneliness could help in reducing it.The study suggests that people can take steps to stop the spread of loneliness. They can do this by helping individuals they know who may be experiencing loneliness. The result can be helpful to the whole social group.1. What is TRUE about the Framingham Study?A. It was only conducted in 1948.B. It involves more than 12,000 participants.C. It was led by John Cacioppo.D. It showed that any behavior could spread.2. Which statement about the spread of loneliness is true?A. The spreading effect was the second strongest among friends.B. No spreading effect was found on husbands and wives.C. Women are more likely to be affected than men.D. Brothers are more easily affected than neighbors.3. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Actions should be taken to help lonely people.B. People feel lonely for many reasons.C. Ways to fight against loneliness.D. Lonely people can affect others.BEveryone would like to be a millionaire , a person with a lot of money, but can you imagine having over $30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old. She is a world famous film star with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially (经济上) all her life. This year is a big year for Britney. She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. It’s a tiring schedule but brings her a lot. When touring, she goes to bed around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy (人生观) is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to step into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in “Austin Power 3”this year and she is filming a teenage light play that will come out in March 2003. In this movie, she has a starring role.For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic (热心的) about it all. If her movies are successful, her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it for the love, not the money, as she herselftells the reporters .1. We can infer (推断) from the text that most millionaires are __________.A. older than 20B. around 20C. in their 30sD. in their 40s2. The underlined word “you”in the first paragraph refers to __________.A. a person in generalB. a special personC. Britney SpearsD. a person interested in money3. Which of the following is not true according to the text?A. Though young, Britney can support her family now.B. While touring, Britney sleeps about 12 hours a day.C. The teenage comedy movie was based on Britney’s own story.D. Britney will be even richer with her movies successful.4. According to Britney Spears, she works __________.A. to be a great actressB. for the enjoymentC. for moneyD. to be more famousCBecause I am extremely vulnerable to both slick advertising and peer pressure, I’ve been thinking about getting an iPad. But here’s the problem: I’m cheap, and the iPad’s not. If I’m going to fork over at least $499 for a new device, I want to try it out and make sure it’s not just a larger, shinier version of my iPhone. But if I went to my local Apple Store, I’d get to spend only a few minutes testin g out the machine. I wanted more time than that, so I rented one for $15 a day from a guy on SnapGoods.The Internet start-up in Brooklyn runs on simple reasoning: there are people who want to borrow stuff –camping equipment, food processors, robot vacuums, etc. –and there are people who have stuff they want to lend. SnapGoods helps these two groups connect over the Web. SnapGoods is one of many sites that have sprung up to facilitate offline sharing. Some sites have a narrow, obvious focus (like ) while others are more obscure (Neighborhood Fruit helpspeople share what’s growing in their yards or find fruit trees on public land). But regardless of whether the sharing is free or involves a fee, these transactions often come with a stick-it-to-the-man attitude. ―Borrow these things from your neighbors,‖ reads one earnest request on , ―The owner-ship has SAILED!‖All of these sites are encouraging something academics call collaborative consumption – in other words, peer-to-peer sharing or renting. Renting something you don’t need to use very often makes a lot more sense than buying it and letting it collect dust in your garage. There’s a green aspect as well, since sharing helps cut down on overall use of resources. But one of collaborative consumption’s most surprising benefits turns out to be social. In an era when families are scattered around the country and we may not know the people down the street from us, sharing things –even with strangers we’ve just met online –allows us to make meaningful connections.―This isn’t just about saving the environment or saving a dollar,‖ says SnapGoods CEO Ron Williams, who came up with the idea after renting a stranger’s motorcycle via Craigslist. ―This is about saving yourself by makin g informed consumer decisions.‖I’m not sure if I got a thrill when I borrowed Goodwin’s iPad, but it did feel good to make a connection. In the end, though, I decided not to purchase an iPad. Sorry, Steve Jobs. I’m just not that into owning things anymore.1. Which of the following is NOT a reason for the author’s renting an iPad instead of buying one?A. The iPad is expensive and the author wants to make sure an iPad is worthy.B. He has already got an iPhone and expects to test the better quality of iPad.C. The local Apple Store only offters limited time to test out the machine.D. The iPad is so expensive that he cannot afford it.2. SnapGoods is a website which________.A. facilitates online sharingB. helps people borrow things from their neighborsC. connects borrowers and lenders for stuff sharingD. sells iPad online3. What is Ron Williams’ attitude towards collaborative consumption?A. FavorableB. CriticalC. IndifferentD. Not known4. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. SnapGoods: a Good Place For ShoppingB. Borrow, Don’t Buy: Websites That Let Strangers ShareC. Why Do I RentD. Tips For Selling Things On the InternetDHigh school dropouts earn an average of $9,000 less per year than graduates. Now a new study denies a common belief why they quit. It’s much more basic than flunking out(不及格).Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can’t make it. They are lazy, and perhaps not too bright. So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they left.―The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school.‖John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half of African-American and Hispanic(美籍西班牙的)students will receive a diploma, and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision. So, if failing grades don’t explain why these kids quit, what does? Again, John Bridgeland: ―The most dependable finding was that they were bored.‖―They found classes uninteresting；they weren’t inspired or motivated. They didn’t see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives, or to their career aspirations.‖The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen, which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US, only one state, New Mexico, has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate. Only four states: California, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, plus theDistrict of Columbia, require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions. Jeffrey Garin, another researcher, says raising the compulsory attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school.―As these dropouts look back, they realize they’ve made a mistake. And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and see it through to the end, is probably help ful measure.‖New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18.But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses the point—the need for reform. It’s been called for to reinven t high school education to make it more challenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.【小题1】Most high school students drop out of school because_______.A.they have failing gradesB.B. they take no interest in classesC. they are mistreatedD. they are lazy and not intelligent【小题2】According to the passage, which state has a law requiring school attendance until they graduate?A.New HampshireB.

It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go 22 farther.Then the man decided to help the 23, so he took a pair of scissors and 24 the remaining bit of the cocoon.The butterfly then came out 25 .26 it had a swollen (浮肿的) body and small, shriveled (枯萎的) wings. The man27 to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would28 to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! 29, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling (爬) around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.It never was able to 30. Ks5uWhat the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting (限制的) 31 and the struggle required for the butterfly to 32 the tiny opening were Nature's way of forcing fluid (液体) from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its 33 from the cocoon.Sometimes 34 are exactly what we need in our life.

C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AThe medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness.As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places, some of the country's most talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have significant contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms.These recent initiatives(首创) owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 5,000 visitors each week. What a better place to hold regular exhibitions of art! Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the outpatients waiting area of the Manchester Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyards.The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when apatient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.36．The underlined part "to soften the hard edges of modern buildings" in Paragraph 2 means"________".A．to decorate hospitals with art collectionsB．to make the corners of hospital buildings roundC．to change people's attitude toward hospitalsD．to replace the old buildings with modern buildings37．Peter Senior is a(n) ________.A．doctor interested in artsB．artist who refuses to hold art exhibitions in hospitalsC．pioneer in introducing art into hospitalsD．artist who owns a great deal of property38．The improvement of the hospital environment seems to be effective in ______.A. making it unnecessary to give drugs to patientsB. helping the modern artists regain their status in societyC. calling in more talented artists to hospitalsD. helping patients recovering from illnesses39. The writer’s attitude towards the effect of art exhibitions in hospitals is ______.A. suspiciousB. positiveC. neutral(中立的)D. unfavorableBChina is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors---silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.40. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A. Because they are traditional and safe.B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.C. Because they are colorful and available.D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.41. The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended __________.A. to ride it for funB. to use it for transportC. to experience local skillsD. to improve his riding skills42. How did the author feel about his street crossing?A. It was boring.B. It was difficult.C. It was lively.D. It was wonderful.43. Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.C. The author was praised by the other bikers.D. The author took great pleasure in biking.CA Shoe PatternHarry is eighteen now. He studies in a middle school. His parents like him very much and hope he can become a famous man. So they often tell him to study hard and they do all for him. They call him at six in the morning, after breakfast his father takes him to school in a car and in the afternoon, as soon as the young man comes back, thesupper is ready. Of course, he never washes his clothes or goes to buy something in the shops.Once Harry’s father was sent to London on business. H e would stay there for half a year. Leaving, he told his wife to take good care of their son. The woman had to get up earlier and did all what her husband did before. And two months later she was so tired that she was ill in bed. Now the young man got into trouble. He couldn’t do any housework. He had to do as his mother told him. Even he didn’t know where to get on the bus!Yesterday Harry’s mother found his shoes were worn out and told him to buy a new pair in the shop. But he didn’t know how to choose. T he woman had a sigh(叹息) and gave him a shoe pattern(鞋样) and told him to buy a pair of shoes himself. It’s Saturday today and Harry doesn’t go to school. With a policeman’s help, he found a shop. The shopkeeper was friendly to him. The man brought a lot of shoes and asked him to choose. When he was trying on a pair, suddenly he remembered something and took them off. The man was surprised and asked, “What’s the matter, young man?”“I’m sorry, I’ve left the shoe pattern at home!”44. _______ always does some housework in the morning.A. Harry’s fatherB. Harry’s motherC. HarryD. Nobody45. Harry’s parents do all instead of him because _______.A. he’s too youngB. he has poor healthC. he’s busy with his studiesD. they hope he spends all time on studies46. The woman had to look after her son by herself because _______.A. her husband wasn’t at homeB. she was stronger than her husbandC. she knew the young man wellD. she was freer than her husband47. When the man was in London, _______.A. Harry had to stay at homeB. Harry didn’t find the bus stopC. Harry fell behind in his classD. Harry wouldn’t go to schoolDWe know the famous ones—the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells —but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)？Shouldn’t we know who they are?Joan Mclean think so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly ab out this matter that she’s developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who” invented “what”, however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and ”how” questions. According to Mclean,” When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn’t be a built-in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, alever(操作杆)on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations，It’s hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan’s traffic light. It’s equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett’s innovation that makes glass invisible, Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?48. By mentioning “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”, the author indicates thatcountless inventions are .A. beneficial, because their inventors are famousB. beneficial, though their inventors are less famousC. not useful, because their inventors are less famousD. not useful, though their inventors are famous49. Professor Joan McL ean’s course aims to_____.A. add colour and variety to students’ campus lifeB. inform students of the windshield wiper’s inventionC. carry out the requirements by Mountain UniversityD. prepare students to try their own invention50. Which 0f the following can best serve as the title of this passage?A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?B. How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window?C. Shouldn’t We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?D. Shouldn’t We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?四、七选五(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。

Whatever we are wearing，our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身〕，nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover〞 themselvesin order to convey (传递)certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances，so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员),because those people represent〔代表〕 the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the bestimpression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates〔候选人〕, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.36. Which o f the following is the newspaper editor’ opinion according toParagraph 2?A. People’s appearances carry messages about themselves.B. Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies.C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.37. What can be inferred from the text?A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.38. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Employees MatterB. Personal Choices MatterC. Appearances MatterD. Hiring Managers Matter39. The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace maybest be described as _______________.A. enthusiasticB. negative C positive D. sympathetic(同情的)BThe research tracked the health of 101,000 US nurses over three decades.Light-to-moderate smokers were twice as likely to die of sudden heart problems as those who had never smoked.But those who quit smoking saw their risk begin to go back down within years, a journal of the American Heart Association reports._________During the study, there were 315 sudden cardiac deaths〔心脏性猝死〕——where the heart unexpectedly stops working.In people aged 35 or younger, this usually because of a heart condition that runs in the family.But in people who are older than this—as most of the nurses in the study were —it can be the first sign of coronary heart disease, where the heart’sarteries become blocked by fatty deposits.Of the 315 sudden deaths in the study, 75 were among current smokers, 148 were among recent or past smokers and 128 occurred in people who had never smoked.Reason to quitAfter taking into account other heart risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and family history of heart disease, Dr Roopinder Sandhu and his colleagues found the women who smoked were twice as likely as likely to die suddenly even if they smoked “light-to-moderate〞amounts —between one and 14 cigarettes a day.For every five years of continued smoking, the risk went up by 8%.But women who quit saw their risk fall to that of someone who had never smoked, after 20 years of cessation.Dr Sandhu, of the University of Alberta, Canad, said: “What this study really tells women is how important it is to stop smoking. The benefits in terms of sudden cardiac death reduction are there for all women, not just those with established heart disease.〞“It can be difficult to quit. It needs to be a long-term goal. It’s not always easily achievable and it may take more than one attempt.〞Ellen Mason, senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: “This study shows that smoking just a couple of cigarettes a day could still seriously affect your future health.〞“As we approach the new year, many of us will be making resolutions and giving up smoking will be the top of the list for lots of people.〞“If you’re thinking of quitting and need a nudge, this research adds to the wealth of evidence that stopping smoking is the single best thing you can do for your heart health.〞A recent study in The Lancet of 1.2million Women found those who gave up smoking by the age of 30 would almost completely avoid the risk of dying early from tobacco-related diseases.Latest figures suggest a fifth of women in England smoke.40. According to the research, light smokers____________.A. are not likely to suffer from heart problemsB. are more likely to suffer from heart problems than moderate onesC. can go on smoking only if they don’t smoke muchD. have a high possibility of dying of heart disease41. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Nonsmokers wouldn’t die of sudden cardiac deathB. Most of the nurses concerned in the research were middle aged.C. All age groups of people were involved in the research.D. If the smokers had quit smoking, they wouldn’t have died of hear t disease.42. Which of the following is best suitable for the blank in the passage?A. Raised riskB. Ways of quitting smokingC. Diseases related to smokingD. Signs of heart disease43. The underlined word “nudge〞in the passage probably means “____________〞A. pushB. confidenceC. studyD. comparisonCFitness isn’t just physical: Change your thoughts, and you change your world. Of course we can all agree that gaining and losing weight, exercise, diet, strength, and flexibility are all a part of fitness. But what about body image, self-esteem, aging, relationships, success and happiness? They are all related, all connected, and fitness in all areas is important if you want true and total fitness.But you may say, “I just want to lose 20 pounds. If I do, I will feel better about myself and I will be happy.〞Maybe in the short term, but honestly, if we don’t deal with our mental and emotional fitness while working on the physical fitness, there is very little chance of keeping the weight off, feeling good about yourself, and improving every other area of your life.Let’s not waste time in changing our bodies when they will only change back if we don’t change our minds, too. Let’s work “out〞and work “in〞 at the same time. Change your mind－and you must, because if you have been trying to lose weight, but cannot, there is something inside of you that is disallowing it. You can change this pattern, improve your self-esteem, increase your joy, and change your body for good by focusing on changing your mind, too. This is training of life.Work-ins will recondition your mind, improve your attitude, change your perception and stimulate motivation at the same time you are conditioning your body for weight loss, shaping, strength and endurance.If you repeat a positive statement over and over to yourself-like a mantra, your mind will change, the same way your body does, even if you don’t believe it. Like lifting a weight over and over, your muscle changes－even if you don’t believe it.Try it－what have you got to lose? Say, “I am ready for my body to be healthier, leaner, and stronger. I love it already.〞Say it over and over while you are walking or running or doing any exercise. Pick a statement that works for you－something positive and in the present tense.44. The author will probably agree that _____________.A. mental health is the most important in weight lossB. working on physical fitness is sometimes harmfulC. fitness is much more than gaining or losing weightD. lifting a weight over and over is the best way to keep fit45. According to the passage, a positive “mantra〞(in Paragraph 5) ___________.A. changes your muscleB. helps recondition your mindC. might cause great lossD. is something you must believe46. What is the best title for this passage?A. Stop Wasting Time on Weight LossB. Health and Life AttitudeC. Work Your Mind, Not Just Your BodyD. Real Training of Life47. If work-ins can recondition your mind and improve your attitude, then work-outs probably can____A. improve your looksB. cause you to gain more weightC. make you more motivatedD. benefit your physical reshapingDImagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678 000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big. All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It weighs about 3 500 000 tons. The waste includes bags，bottles and containers—plastic products of all kinds.The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about l 600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been described as a kind of oceanic desert，with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slowly that garbage from all over the world collects there.In recent years，there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste，resulting in death or injury. Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full，lessening their desire to eat or drink.The floating garbage also can have harmful effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste，and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.Its existence first gained public attention in l997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier，another oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.In August，2009，a team from the University of California，San Diego became the latest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of sea creatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch’s effect on ocean environment.48.How did the writer introduce the topic of the passage?A. By giving an example.B. By listing the facts.C. By telling a story.D. By giving a comparison.49.What do we know about the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A. It is made up of various kinds of plastic products.B. It is a solid mass of floating waste materials.C. It lies l60 000 kilometers east of California.D. It is described as a kind of oceanic land.50.Why do people pay attention to the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A. Because it may prevent the flow of ocean water.B. Because the polluted plastic products will affect the food chain.C. Because it maybe form an island in the pacific.D. Because ships may be trapped in the floating waste.四、七选五(共5小题;每一小题2分，总分为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优选项。

This camping trip idea is not getting off to a very good start. It’s raining and the tent leaks. The hiking seemed to take forever, and I still can’t understand how it cou ld all have been up hill! How did I ever let my brother persuade me into this? When we get home --- if we ever get home --- he’s going to have to do something great to get back on my good side. Maybe he should sponsor a shopping spree（狂购）at the mall!Tuesday: Things are looking up. The sun came out today, so we were able to leave the tents and dry out. We’re camped at the edge of a small lake that I couldn’t see before because of the rain and fog. The mountains are all around us, and the forest is absolutely beautiful. We spent most of the day dragging out everything out of our backpacks or tents and putting it where the sun could dry it out. Later in the afternoon we tried to catch the fish for dinner, but the fish were smarter than we were. At night we built a fire and sang songs happily.Wednesday: We hiked to the far side of the lake and climbed to the top of a small peak. From there we could see how high the other mountains were and how far the forest spread around us. On the way up we passed through a snowfield!Thursday: I caught my first fish! We followed the stream that fed the lake. After about two miles, we came to a section that Carol said looked “fishy”. She had a pack rod(竿), which can be carried in a backpack. I asked to cast it, and I caught a fish on my first try. Carol caught a few more. But they were just too pretty to eat for lunch so we put them back in the stream.Friday: I can’t believe we are going home already. It will be nice to get a hot shower, sleep in a real bed, and eat junk food, but the trip has been wonderful. We’re already talking about another camping adventure next year where we canoe down a river. It’s hard to believe, but I think this city girl has a little country blood in her veins.36. The writer went on this camping trip because________.A. she was influenced by her brotherB. she wanted to go fishingC. she enjoyed campingD. she was tired of staying at home37. The whole morning of Tuesday, the writer ________.A. hiked along the lakeB. dried out her belongingsC. climbed the mountainD. caught the fish for dinner38. It can be inferred that Carol had a pack rod with her because ________.A. she could not afford to buy a regular fishing poleB. she needed it to get their main source of foodC. she expected to go fishing while they were hikingD. she thought the writer of the journal might need it39. It is likely that the writer will ________.A. convince her brother to go campingB. invite Carol to go fishing togetherC. make her brother buy her somethingD. go on another camping tripBEveryone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Sure, there are times when we n eed to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named in this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.There is more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people who don’t have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.40.The first paragraph tells us .A. what is the feeling of having no friendsB. making friends is a need in people’s lifeC. we always need friends around usD. we need to be alone in our life41. Which of the following places people name after their friendly people is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. A town.B. A library.C. A school.D. Aroom.42. Why do people who have friends live longer?A. They feel happier and healthier.B. They know more about friendship.C. They take less care of themselves.D. They care more about their friends.43. This passage tells us __________.A. that people are all friendsB. that people need friendsC. how to get to know friendsD. how to name a placeCWhen you think of environmental problems you probably think of pollution, but the poaching (偷猎) of wild animals is one, too. Poaching has worried environmentalists for years and, despite laws, this terrible crime has yet to be stopped.Poaching is a serious problem, especially in Africa and Asia. This crime is done for commercial profit (商业利益), meaning hunters kill animals illegally and sell their most worthy parts. Although poachers usually hunt tigers, elephants and rhinos, they kill sharks and whales, too. This illegal hunting has led to decreasing populations of many species.Many nations have banned poaching, but enforcement (执行) is difficult. The small number of police officers trained to deal with this creates an unfair advantage for poachers.Poachers usually kill animals for only one product: tigers are killed for their striped fur, elephants their ivory tusks and rhinos their large horn. The bodies of the animals are left to rot. Sharks’ fins are cut off and their bodies thrown back into the ocean. Without fins they can’t swim and will die. The illegally obtained fins are used to make shark fin soup.The laws that “protect” animals are no more than pieces of paper. The current poaching bans need better enforcement, and I have a plan.The number of enforcers needs to be increased so that there are enough to watch the herds and make sure poachers can’t shoot the animals. The reserve parks in Africa should become a huge zoo so that the animals can move but within a fenced area. Another idea is to build a concrete enclosure instead of fences. Watchtowers could be constructed so enforcers can monitor a wide variety of poacher targets. This may not completely end the problem, but it would slow it down.Poaching is a serious problem and a criminal act. The effects of poaching will be felt for centuries to come, and if there are any still alive, the only place to see animals might be in a zoo.44. Poaching has not been stopped mainly because _____.A. there are no laws to ban this crimeB. this crime has not been that seriousC. effective measures have not been takenD. the author’s plan has not been adopted45. What is the basic reason for poaching?A. People’s needs for food.B. People’s desire for profit.C. The lack of protecting laws.D. The worsening of environment.46. We can infer from the last paragraph that _____.A. poaching will be more serious if not stoppedB. the effects of poaching will be removed soonC. it has been too late to stop poaching nowD. zoos are the best place to protect animals47. The purpose of this passage is to _____.A. show the astonishing fact of the bloody illegal huntingB. provide some suggestions on banning poachingC. warn the seriousness of the present animal conditionD. call on people to protect environment and animalsDA new World Bank report warns that children who do not get enough good food in the first two years of life suffer lasting damage. They may be underdeveloped or under-weight. They may suffer from poor health or poor intelligence. In addition, these children are more likely to drop out of school and earn less money as adults.At the same time, it notes that too little food is not the only cause of poor nutrition (营养). Many children may suffer for other reasons. For example, the study says that mothers often fail to give their newly born babies their first breast milk. This “milk” is called colostrum (初乳). It can improve a baby’s ability to fight infections (传染病) and disease.The study also links malnutrition (营养不良) to economic growth in poor countries. A lack of nutrition in early childhood can cost developing nations up to three percent of their yearly earnings. The study suggests that poor countries could possibly double their economic growth if they improved nutrition.Africa and South Asia are affected the most by poor nutrition. The study says about half of all children in India do not get enough good food. The World Bank study also notes that rates of malnutrition in South Asia are almost double those in central and southern Africa. Other parts of the world are also seriously affected, including Indonesia, Guatemala and Peru.The study advises that developing countries change their policies to dealwith malnutrition. Instead of directly providing food, the study suggests educational programs in health and nutrition for mothers with young babies. It also advises cleaner living conditions and improvements in health care. 48．What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Poor nutrition in developing countriesB. More food is needed in developing countriesC. More help should be provided for developing countriesD. World bank should pay more attention to developing countries49．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Malnutrition in poor countries is caused by too little food.B. Yearly earnings have something to do with poor nutrition.C. Colostrum plays a great role in the growth of newly born babies.D. Malnutrition affects economic growth in poor countries.50．What does the report suggest developing countries do to deal with malnutrition?A. Provide good food directly.B. Provide better working conditions.C. Give newly born babies colostrum.D. Offer educational programs to mothers.四、七选五(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 man 27 to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would 28 to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! 29, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling (爬) around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.It never was able to 30.What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting (限制的) 31 and the struggle required for the butterfly to 32 the tiny opening were Nature's way of forcing fluid (液体) from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its 33 from the cocoon.Sometimes 34 are exactly what we need in our life.

C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AThe medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness.As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places, some of the country's most talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have significant contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms.These recent initiatives(首创) owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 5,000 visitors each week. What a better place to hold regular exhibitions of art! Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the outpatients waiting area of the Manchester Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist,Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyards.The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.36．The underlined part "to soften the hard edges of modern buildings" in Paragraph 2 means"________".A．to decorate hospitals with art collectionsB．to make the corners of hospital buildings roundC．to change people's attitude toward hospitalsD．to replace the old buildings with modern buildings37．Peter Senior is a(n) ________.A．doctor interested in artsB．artist who refuses to hold art exhibitions in hospitalsC．pioneer in introducing art into hospitalsD．artist who owns a great deal of property38．The improvement of the hospital environment seems to be effective in ______.A. making it unnecessary to give drugs to patientsB. helping the modern artists regain their status in societyC. calling in more talented artists to hospitalsD. helping patients recovering from illnesses39. The writer’s attitude towards the effect of art exhibitions in hospitalsis ______.A. suspiciousB. positiveC. neutral(中立的)D. unfavorableBChina is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycle s to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest wayto travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors---silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.40. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A. Because they are traditional and safe.B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.C. Because they are colorful and available.D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.41. The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended __________.A. to ride it for funB. to use it for transportC. to experience local skillsD. to improve his riding skills42. How did the author feel about his street crossing?A. It was boring.B. It was difficult.C. It was lively.D. It was wonderful.43. Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.C. The author was praised by the other bikers.D. The author took great pleasure in biking.CA Shoe PatternHarry is eighteen now. He studies in a middle school. His parents like him very much and hope he can become a famous man. So they often tell him to study hard and they do all for him. They call him at six in the morning, after breakfast his father takes him to school in a car and in the afternoon, as soon as the young man comes back, the supper is ready. Of course, he never washeshis clothes or goes to buy something in the shops.Once Harry’s father was sent to London on business. H e would stay therefor half a year. Leaving, he told his wife to take good care of their son. The woman had to get up earlier and did all what her husband did before. And two months later she was so tired that she was ill in bed. Now the young man got into trouble. He couldn’t do any housework. He had to do as his mother told him. Even he didn’t know where to get on the bus!Yesterday Harry’s mother found his shoes were worn out and told him to buy a new pair in the shop. But he didn’t know how to choose. T he woman had asigh(叹息) and gave him a shoe pattern(鞋样) and told him to buy a pair of shoes himself. It’s Saturday today and Harry doesn’t go to school. With a policeman’s help, he found a shop. The shopkeeper was friendly to him. The man brought a lot of shoes and asked him to choose. When he was trying on a pair, suddenly he remembered something and took them off. The man was surprised and asked, “What’s the matter, young man?”“I’m sorry, I’ve left the shoe pattern at home!”44. _______ always does some housework in the morning.A. Harry’s fatherB. Harry’s motherC. HarryD. Nobody45. Harry’s parents do all instead of him because _______.A. he’s too youngB. he has poor healthC. he’s busy with his studiesD. they hope he spends all time on studies46. The woman had to look after her son by herself because _______.A. her husband wasn’t at homeB. she was stronger than her husbandC. she knew the young man wellD. she was freer than her husband47. When the man was in London, _______.A. Harry had to stay at homeB. Harry didn’t find the bus stopC. Harry fell behind in his classD. Harry wouldn’t go to schoolDWe know the famous ones—the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells —but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)？Shouldn’t we know who they are?Joan Mclean think so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly ab out this matter that she’s developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who” invented “what”, however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and ”how” questions. According to Mclean,” When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities forinventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn’t be a built-in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever(操作杆)on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations，It’s hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan’s traffic light. It’s equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett’s innovation that makes glass invisible, Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?48. By mentioning “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”, the authorindicates that countless inventions are .A. beneficial, because their inventors are famousB. beneficial, though their inventors are less famousC. not useful, because their inventors are less famousD. not useful, though their inventors are famous49. Professor Joan McL ean’s course aims to_____.A. add colour and variety to students’ campus lifeB. inform students of the windshield wiper’s inventionC. carry out the requirements by Mountain UniversityD. prepare students to try their own invention50. Which 0f the following can best serve as the title of this passage?A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?B. How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window?C.

"Local police are trying to find more information about the case. And we have told the victims' (遇难者的) relatives and are helping them come to Johannesburg," Consul Wu Gang told China Daily. Chen's husband was injured during the robbery but did not suffer seriously, said Wu.The robbery happened at about 5:45 pm local time and the armed robbers ran away after taking more than 50,000 South African rand (US $8,200) and some jewelry, Xinhua News Agency reported.The killing happened just three days after Chen Jingmin, a 23-year-old man from Qingdao, Shandong Province, was shot dead north outside Johannesburg by armed robbers. On January 10, a Hong Kong businessman was attacked and robbed at his home in Johannesburg and died the next day in the hospital. All these happened just in less than a month.According to records, there were more than 40 robberies attacking Chinese in South Africa last year, in which eight were killed. More than 100,000 Chinese are doing various kinds of businesses in South Africa, according to a Chinese official in the country. An increasing number of them are becoming targets (目标) of robbers after buying big houses or luxury cars, the official said.36. The passage is probably ______.A. a business storyB. a scientific articleC. a newspaper reportD. an official document37. Who were killed on February 5 in a small town near Johannesburg?A.

Those Chinese who live near the capital of South AfricaC. Those Chinese who open shops selling Chinese goodsD. Those Chinese who leave others the impression of being richBJohn Steinbeck once said, “All American believ e they are born fishermen. For a man to admit to distaste in fishing would be like speaking publicly against mother-love or hating moonlight〞.I can’t say I’m the biggest John Steinbeck fan. Actually, the only thing I can ever remember read by him was “The Pearl〞 when I was in middle school, but I couldn’t agree more with the man when it comes to fishing. When I am ona boat in the middle of the lay Lake, fishing off the shores of the Florida Keys for tarpon or catching rainbow trout in the Shoshone River of Wyoming. Fishing is my life.According to the American Sports Fishing Association, the fishing industry brings in more than $ 116 billion per year from fishermen across the country.However, fishing is much more than that. Fishing is a way of life for many people and a way to escape everyday stress. Being a fisherman makes me a member of a wonderful group of people extending to all walks of life. Even President Obama can be found fishing with his good friend Roland Martin when the jobs gets too stressful.I can remember fishing with my grandfather when I was 5 years old on his boat at LakeMichel. Although I didn’t understand what I was doing, I did know that my grandfather was happy and that made me happy. Since then I’ve spent the past 16 years on the rivers and lakes of Alabama.After days of practice, before and after work, I slowly developed an understanding of fishing. My boss, Ric Horst, took me back to the Shoshone, and I managed to bring in a 19-inch cutthroat trout. Fishing with Ric was a life-changing experience for me. He not only showed me how to fish correctly, but also told me how fishing could be a way to escape your problems.Since then, prime-time season seems to take forever to arrive.Now, with the ending of February and beginning of March in sight, the excitement of heading out to LakeTus caloosa or LakeLurleen before classes and catching something has finally returned.40．What John Steinbeck said in the first paragraph implies that ______A. American are believed to be the offspring of fishermen.B. it is unthinkable for an American to admit his dislike of fishing.C. all American are expert at fishing.D. those who dislike fishing would not love their mother.41．The writer came to understand the real meaning of fishing ______.A. when he was reading “The Pearl〞 by John SteinbeckB. when he went fishing with his grandfather at LakeMitchellC. after he had spent 16 years on the rivers and lakes of AlabamaD. after he went fishing with his boss, Ric Horst on the Shoshone 42．According to the author, ______.A. people can get to know VIPs when fishingB. people can smooth away all the troubles by fishingC. fishing is a way of communicationD. fishing is a way of life for all American people43．What is the purpose of the writing?A. To desc ribe the writer’s experience and understanding of fishing.B. To explain the reason why so many Americans like fishing.C. To make others understand the industry of fishing.D. To express his opinions about fishing in different time of the year.CSomali pirates (海盗) robbed three Thai fishing ships with 77 sailors on board nearly 1,200 miles off the Somali coast, the farthest­off­shore attack to date, an officer said Tuesday.Pirates have gone farther south and east in answer to increased patrols(巡逻) by warships off the Somali shore. The robbing of the three ships Sunday was about 600 miles outside the normal operation area for the international force, said a spokesman.The spokesman said the attack so far out at sea was a clear sign that the internation al patrols against pirates were having a “marked effect on pirate activity in the area〞．“Once they start attacking that far out, you're not even really talking about the Somali basin or areas of water that have any connection with Somalia.〞 said an offic er, Roger Middleton. “Once you're that far out, it's just the Indian Ocean，and it means you're looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia, from Asia to South Africa.〞“This is the farthest robbing to date. They are now operating near the Maldives and India.〞 said another officer.The three ships－the MV Prantalay 11,12，and 14－had 77 members on board in total. All of them are Thai, the spokesman said. Before the Sunday robbing, pirates held 11 ships and 228 sailors.Pirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes of catching more dollar payments. Because of increased patrols and defenses on board ships, the success rate(率) has gone down, though the number of successful attacks has stayed the same year over year.44. The pirate attack reported in the text happened________.A. far out in the Indian OceanB. in the normal patrol areaC. near the Somali coastD. in the south of Africa45. According to the text, which can best describe the situation of the pirate problems?A. More goods on board are lost.B. Pirate attacks happen in a larger area now.C. The number of attacks has stayed the same these years.D. Pirate attacks are as serious as before along the Somali coast.46. Which is TRUE about the warship patrols according to the text?A. The patrols are of little effect.B. The patrols are more difficult.C. More patrols are quite necessary even in Asia.D. The patrols only drive the pirates to other areas.47. How many sailors were held by the pirates up to the time of the report?A. 228.B. 77.C. 383.D. 305.D“The more you learn, the more you earn,〞 said the pop singer Cyndi Lauper as she accepted her high school diploma(证书) , at the age of 35 ! Although Cyndi made it without a high school degree, most people don't. In the USA today, about 75% of jobs need some education or technical training further than high school. The lowest wage earners in the USA are those without high school degrees; college graduates(毕业生) outearn those without a college education. People with master's degrees〔硕士学位〕outearn those with only a bachelor (学士学位); and the highest incomes of all are earned by people with advanced professional or academic degrees. These generalizations explain why most of young Americans go to college. However, despite the averages, more diplomas don't always mean more money. Many skilled blue-collar workers, salespeople business executives, and entrepreneurs outearn college professors and scientific researchers. And great athletes and entertainers outearn everyone else!48. According to the passage, ______.？A. high school diploma and high school degree are the same thingB. people can't get both high school diploma and degreeC. people must get both high school diploma and degreeD. people can get both high school diploma and degree or either49. Why do most American young people go to college?A. Because their parents force them to go to college.B. Because they can't get a job if they don't go to college.C. Because the situation of the society make them go to college.D. Because they like studying.50. What may the word “outearn〞 mean?A. Earning more money.B. Earning less money.C. Earning no money.D.

C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AEver since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s, genetically modified ( 转基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the world, mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would, is it the best solution?Despite what it promises, GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any crop. In fact, studies show that the most widely grown GM crop, GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report that analyzed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.Something else, however, has been on the rise. While GM seeds are expensive, GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides (杀虫剂). On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. "The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But neither is true." said Bill Christison, President of the US National Farm Coalition.At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution（分配） and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.As a matter of fact, scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which "green" farming is supposed to be the first choice.36.The author develops the second paragraph mainly ________.A. by classificationB. by comparisonC. by examplesD. by supposition （37.What does the underlined word "boost" in the third paragraph probably mean?A. Control.B. EvaluateC. Obtain.D. Increase.38.GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from ________.A. practicing "green" farmingB. use of less chemicalsC. fair distribution of their cropsD. using more crops for fuel39.Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology?A. Optimistic.B. Defensive.C. Disapproving.D. Pessimistic.BThroughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change-to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.Landscape(风景) is another unchanging element of art. It can be found fromancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography(摄影术) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.40. The underlined word “poetry” most probably means __________.A. an object for artistic creationB. a collection of poemsC. an unusual qualityD. a natural scene41. Leslie's paintings are extraordinary because .A. they are close in style to works in ancient timesB. they look like works by 19th-century paintersC. they draw attention to common things in lifeD. they depend heavily on color photography42. What is the author's opinion of artistic reality?A. It will not be found in future works of art.B. It does not have a long-lasting standard.C. It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.D. It is lacking in modern works of art.43. What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph?A. They express people's curiosity about the past.B. They make people interested in everyday experience.C. They are considered important for variety in form.D. They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.CMini Book Excerpts（节选）BiographyWhen Salinger learned that a car park was to be built on the land, the middle-aged writer was shocked and quickly bought the neighboring area to protect it… The townspeople never forgot the rescue and came to help their most famous neighbor.J.

My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9：00 each night and up at 7：45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends' report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the measure of being a dropout.She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background, I'm now trying to bring up my three children. I'm filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.48．From the passage we can learn that the writer's mother was ______.A．not generous at allB．very strict with her childrenC．very mean with money mattersD．very cruel to her children49．Which of the following things did the writer hate to do most?A．Eating differently from other kids.B．Wearing clean clothes made by mother.C．Going to bed early and getting up early.D．Letting mother know where they were.50．It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A．the writer worked hard and got good grades in studiesB．mother was punished for breaking the Labor LawC．all the other kids studied better than the writerD．the writer's family lived a miserable life四、七选五(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。

AIs It Bad to Cross Your Legs When You Sit?Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don’t even notice that they’re doing it wh en they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason this happens is because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won't feel any immediate effects, but if you sit for long periods of time it's important that you take note of how long you have your legs crossed for. You shouldn't have your legs crossed for more than 15 minutes, and it's important that you get up and walk around at least once every hour.Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. Ideally, it's best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor, but it's not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office. When you sit with your legs crossed your hips are in a twisted position, which can cause one of your pelvic bones to rotate. Since your pelvic bone supports your neck and spine, this can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.You also might notice that when you sit with your legs crossed for long periods of time your feet and legs get tingly or have the feeling of being asleep. This is because when one leg sits on top of the other it causes pressure on the veins andnerves in your legs and feet. It can cause numbness and/or temporary paralysis in the legs, ankles, or feet. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.21.According to para 2, we can infer that___________A.it's no big deal to cross our legs for less than 15 minutes.B.we will feel uncomfortable at the moment we cross the legs.C.we should take a walk every hour after sitting still.D.crossing legs while sitting makes it harder to circulate our blood.22.How many health problems can be caused by crossing legs according to the text?A. 2 B3 C.4 D. 523. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A. ① B ① C. ① D. ①② ③ ② ③ ② ③ ④ ② ③④ ⑤ ④ ⑤ ⑤ ④ ⑤BColumbus Day has been on American calendars since 1937，when President Franklin D．Roosevelt declared October 12 a federal holiday to honor the Italian explorer who“discovered”the Americas in 1492．However，the holiday has always been controversial．Many people believe that Christopher Columbus should not be given credit for“discovering”the continent，since native Americans had already been living there for generations．Besides，the explorer，s mission was not a scientific“voyage of discovery”，but one intended to conquer the new land．Critics maintain that the Spanish army Columbus brought on his second voyage，caused the deaths of hundreds of thousandsof indigenous(土著的)people．Those that survived the massacre became slaves，working in mines．Many，therefore，believe that the explorer's arrival should not be celebrated．In 1977，a delegation of Native nations at the International Conference on Discrimination Against Indigenous Populations in the Americas，proposed renaming the holiday to“Indigenous People’s Day”．The proposal passed with a majority． However，convincing the rest of the country to do the same was not that easy．It took 15 years before the city of Berkeley in California adopted the name in 1992 and then 22 more years before Minneapolis，MN and Seattle，WA did the same in 2014．The following year，eight more cities including Albuquerque，NM and Portland，OR，began celebrating the second Monday of October as“Indigenous People’s Day”. The movement really started to gain momentum in 2016 when 19 cities，including Boulder，CO and Phoenix，AZ，as well as the states of Minnesota and Vermont，a11 decided to rename the day to honor Native Americans．In 2017，21 more cities，including Austin，TX and Los Angeles，CA have made the shih．With the increasingly larger number of cities moving away from Columbus Day each year，it will be interesting to see if“Indigenous People’s Day”gets federal recognition．Meanwhile，it will continue to be the focal point of debates throughout the Americas．24．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A．Indigenous People’s Day Has Got Federal Recognition after Years’Work B．Columbus Day Honoring the Italian Explorer Has Always Been Controversial C．Christopher Columbus Should Not Be Given Credit for Discovering Americas D．More Cities Have Replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day 25．Many people don’t agree that________．A．Indigenous discovered the continentB．Columbus was a remarkable explorerC．Native Americans were abusedD．Columbus Day is a public holiday26．What can we infer from the second paragraph?A．Columbus was well received by indigenous people．B．The indig enous people hated the Columbus’arrival．C．The Spanish army rebelled against Columbus’rule．D．Few soldiers survived the attack by native Americans．27．Which of the following cities is the earliest to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day?A．Portland． B．Phoenix． C．Seattle． D．Los Angeles．CRecently, Google announced that its voice-activated program, Google Assistant, will be offering a new feature called “Tell Me Something Good.” Users can now give that command and receive an earful of po sitive news stories. What’s more, the New York Times has a page online called “Fixes,” which focuses on what people are doing to fight social ills. As media researcher Karen McIntyre of Virginia Commonwealth University explains, these are all parts of a news movement called constructive journalism.Constructive journalism is different from “feel-good news,” like a fireman rescuing a cat. Instead, constructive journalism offers a more complete but appealing version of the news, says McIntyre. In her opinion, besides focusing on solutions, constructive journalism includes reporting on the historical and social setting of specific news incidents, using reliable data to look at longer-term trends, and avoiding interview techniques that create drama without increasing understanding.However, newspapers thrive on eyes on the page, and editors may be less interested in constructive journalism if they aren’t convinced that it’ll attract their readers. While McIntyre acknowledges those concerns, research has shown the opposite to be true. For example, one study found participants who read an online story that focused on approaches to poverty spent more time on the page than those reading a similar story without focusing on solutions.There is much we don’t know yet ab out how this kind of journalism affects behavior. The research is relatively young, though at least one of McIntyre’sstudies showed an interesting result: people who read inspiring news stories were more willing afterwards to sign up for generous actions related to the story, such as donating money to support a cause from the story. Therefore, she argues, there’sa hunger for this type of news.28. Why are Google Assistant and Fixes mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To say how the news movement works.B. To stress the importance of positive news.C. To show what constructive journalism is.D. To lead in the topic of the whole text.29. Constructive journalism encourages stories that__________.A. inform people of big events.B. are solution-focused.C. focus on amazing you.D. are based on interesting facts.30. How should constructive journalism stories be written?A. In a serious way.B. In a humorous way.C. In a usual way.D. In an understandable way.31. What may be the problem with constructive journalism?A. That it isn’t appealing to readers.B. That it isn’t easy to collect and edit.C. That it adds to some editors’ concerns.D. That it is unavailable to some readers.DCold weather during winter months may keep many people from leaving home and running in the open air.However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather helps improve one's performance.Many people say running in the winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather.That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate and the body's dehydration (脱水) levels are lowerthan in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.This information comes from sports scientists at St. Mary’s University in London. John Brewer is a professor of applied sport science at St. Mary’s.For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an “environmental chamber.” The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions. Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners.“We've got a group of subjects into the environmental chamber, we've changed the conditions to replicate the summer or winter and we've got them to run a 10km under both of those conditions and taken various measurements on each runner while they've been completing their 10km.”Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way in which we lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through droplets of sweat. He says the body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin.32.What can we know about running in winter?A．It increases pressure of the body. B．It improves the function of body. C．It makes your heart rate higher. D．It needs more water than in summer. 33．What can we know about the research according to the text?A．Researchers interviewed the subjects B．Subjects were asked to run in winter and summer.C．Subjects built the “environmental chamber”.D．Biological measurements of the runners were recorded.34．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “replicate” in Paragraph 7?A．Combine. B．Remember. C．Copy. D．Decorate.35．What’s the best title for the passage?A．Environmental Chamber B．The Way of Losing HeatC．Running in Cold Weather Improves Performance D．Biological Measurements of the Runners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。

I am anxious to give you some advice.First of all, you may drink a cup of warm water after you get up, which will help you cleanse your body. Then, you should eat healthy meals, especially your breakfast, which will contribute to your health. Of course, there is no need for you to go on a diet. As to your food, you can add some fruits, vegetables and meat. You may know the saying: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Besides, you should do morning exercises, eye exercises and make full use of your PE lessons to help you keep healthy. Moreover, before going to bed, you can keep your feet in hot water for a while, which is of great help to help you relax.My dear, follow it, please. Nothing is more important than health. Just as it says: Health is “1”, and the others are “0”. Once “1” loses, everything will lose.Please write back soon and tell me what you think about my advice.Best wishes for you!Liu Ying高一英语寒假作业五(M1U2)参考答案二、单词拼写：1. independence2. handling3. starved4. scene5.behavior6. punished7. valuable8. boring9.cash 10.

Generation gap is a common problem, but both parents and children should try their best to solve it in order to live a happy life.As parents, we should often communicate with our children in an equal and friendly way to get them to share what they are doing and they are worried about. Besides, we can do something to help them deal with what they come across during their growth. What’s more, we should show respect for them and their choices, giving them some room to do what they want. In addition, when there are times when we don’t agree, we should share our advice with them instead of giving them orders.As children, we should respect and love our parents, who afford and offer us so much. When we are puzzled or happy, we can turn to them for help or share with them. Moreover, it is a good way to introduce some new subjects to our parents, which will bring both of us happiness.In all, we should start out with love and, of course, we will end up sharing our love.Yours sincerely,Beauty高一英语寒假作业九(M2U1)参考答案高一英语寒假作业参考答案第 3 页共7 页二、1. unexplained 2. search 3. due 4. witness 5. showed6. possibility7. research8. frightening9. made 10. disappoited, progress11. similar 12. evidence, existence 13. average 14. convinced 15. case16. creatures 17. disappointed 18.

From 2010 to 2012, the number of bicycles increased by 25% because riding a bicycle is convenient and a good form of exercise. Over 20,000 new taxis appeared in the past two years. People take taxis because it can save a lot of time and the charge is reasonable. The number of private cars has doubled, since private cars are convenient and comfortable. Last but not least, the number of buses has increased by 1,000, but public transportation is still considered as slow and crowded and its service should be further improved.It can be concluded that people now have many choices when they travel and that traffic will become more and more convenient.高一英语寒假作业十三(M2U3)参考答案A二、1. preserve 2.

He is known as the “Elevator Guy”. “The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” Gray told the BBC. “They (elevators) are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.” We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed. He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want –it’s your own little box. If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance. When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle. New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple –look down, or look at your phone. Why are we so awkward in lifts?“You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinicalpsychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.” In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (理解) as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.36.The main purpose of the article is to _____.A. remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevatorB. tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquetteC. share an interesting but awkward elevator rideD. analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator37. According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _____.A. turn around and greet one anotherB. look around or examine their phoneC. make eye contact with those in the elevatorD. try to keep a distance from other people38. Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?A. B. C. D.The point in the chart refers to one person.39. The underlined phrase “size up” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _____.A. judgeB. ignoreC. put up withD. make the best ofBSu Hua is studying at Cambridge, UK.

Then slowly, the rocks broke up into smaller and smaller pieces. Finally stones, pebbles (卵石) and grains of sand were formed. Many sorts of plants and animals lived and died on the surface of the earth. Their remains mixed up with the stones, pebbles and formed soil. The outmost layer of the earth is soil. There are many ways in which large pieces of rock break into smaller ones. Wind, water. heat and cold help to break up rocks. When winds blow grains of sand against a large rock for a long time, the softer layers of the rock are slowly worn away. These leave holes and cracks (裂缝) in the rock, which become bigger and finallythe rock breaks up into smaller pieces.The moving water of streams and rivers also helps to break up rocks. As the water moves along, it carries with it small pieces of rock. These rub the larger ones. Thus, the larger rocks are worn down to smaller pieces.The heat of the sun is also helpful to breaking up rocks. When the sun shines, the rocks become very hot. If these rocks are suddenly cooled, they may crack. Ice also plays a part in making soil. Water in the carcks can turn into ice in cold weather. As this happens, it becomes bigger and the cracks become wider, and finally break into smaller pieces.36.

If a large rock never moves, it will never break up.C. Even if a large rock never moves, it will break up.D. Ice in the cracks helps to break up rocks.BAt the very beginning, the earth’s surface layer（层）was made up of huge blocks of hard, solid rocks.

Ice in the cracks helps to break up rocksCThe garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (1850 – 1928). After immigrating from England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago, where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed "the Garden City", almost certainly the source of Howard's name for his later building plan of towns．Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s, drawing on ideas that were popular at the time, but creating a unique combination of designs．The nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place, dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities．At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive: though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression（萧条）and it offered neither enough work and wages, nor much social life．Howard's idea was to combine the bestof town and country in a new kind of settlement, the garden city．Howard's idea wasthat a group of people should set up a company, borrowing money to establish a gardencity in the depressed countryside; far enough from existing cities to make sure thatthe land was bought at the bottom price．Garden cities would provide a central public open space, radial avenues and connecting industries．They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt,also owned by the company, containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions．As more and more people moved in, the garden city would reach itsplanned limit-Howard suggested 32,000 people; then, another would be started a shortdistance away．Thus, over time, there would develop a vast planned house collection, extending almost without limit; within it, each garden city would offer a wide rangof jobs and services, but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system, thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of abig city．44．How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities?A．By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago．B．Through his observation of the country life．C．Through the combination of different ideas．D．By taking other people's advice．45．The underlined phrase "drawing on "in Paragraph 1 probably means______．A．making comments on B．giving an explanation of C．giving a description of D．making use of46．What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph?A．Each one would continue to become largerB．People would live and work in the same placeC．Their number would continue to riseD．Each one would contain a certain type of business47．What could be the best title for the passage?A．City and Countryside B．The Invention of the Garden CityC．A New City in Chicago D．A Famous Garden City in EnglandDThe Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological (生态的) disaster area. Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence—other countries might learn from its mistakes.For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru,far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798.He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringingguns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve familygroups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the populationfrom 1,400 to 900. Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discoveredphosphate (磷酸盐) on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which is a very important fertilizer (肥料) for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine (露天矿). When a company strip-mines, it moves the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.Unfortunately, the leaders invested (投资) the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses (费用). Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem—their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially (财政上) ruined. Experts say that it would take about $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.48. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To seek help for Nauru’s problems.B. To give a warning to other countries.C. To show the importance of money.D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.49. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?A. Rich and powerful.B. Modern and open.C. Peaceful and attractive.D. Greedy and aggressive.50. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _______.A. soil pollutionB. phosphate overminingC. farming activityD. whale hunting四、七选五(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 duck-billed platypuses of eastern Australia are small, shy animals．This small mammal is such a strange creature that when the first one arrived at the British Museumin London in 1798, scientists thought that someone was playing a practical jokeon them．One cannot blame the scientists for having s uch a thought because it is definitely one of nature’s strangest creatures alive．It looks like an animalwhich has been put together using various parts of different animals．It is a four-legg ed animal with a tail like a beaver’s〔海狸〕, webbed feet and a duck’s bill．It has no outer ears．What is stranger still is the fact that it breastfeeds its young like all other mammals, yet lays eggs like fish, reptiles and birds．It grows to about 47 centimeters in length and weighs around 1.5 kilogrammes．Male platypuses are poisonous．They have a pointy part on their hind ankles that connects to a poison bag in each leg．They mainly use these weapons in mating battles with other males．However, if threatened, they will use them to attack their enemies．The platypus is native to Australia．There are thousands of them living in the wet lands, lakes and rivers of eastern Australia and parts of Tasmania．It feeds on underwater animals such as shrimps, worms, frogs, snails and small fish．When a platypus is underwater, it is almost deaf and blind．However, scientists have discovered that the animal can still find its food through a sense of smell and a sensitive sense of touch in the bill．The bill, in fact, has sensors which can detect the smallest electrical charge sent out by the movement of prey〔猎物〕．This explains why the strange creature has the strangest habit of eating ordinary flashlight batteries．36. Why did the scientists think they were being made fun of ?A．The animal they saw was too small and shyB．The animal had traveled all the way from Australia．C．The animal looked too strange to be real．D．The British Museum had been charged too much money．37. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us about the platypus’____．A. strange featuresB. unique appearanceC. way of feeding its youngD. usual size and weight38. In what way is the male platypus’weapon dangerous to its enemies?A．It’s as sharp as a knife．B．It’s on the powerfu l hind ankles．C．It attacks at all times． D．It can send out poison．39. The platypus eats flashlight batteries because ____．A．they send out electrical charge B．they taste delicious to it C．they look like swimming frogs D．they provide energy for itBThe year 2009 is the Year of Ox. The ox is a representative of the farming culture of China. In the farming economy (经济), oxen are the major animals pulling plows (犁)．Of course, the good of oxen is not limited to plowing. In fact, they are seen as “boats_on_land〞 for their ability to carry loads. Besides, the whole body of an ox is full of treasures. Their meat and milk are food full of nutrition, and their skin can be used to make clothes and shoes. With all these qualities, oxen are regarded as generous creatures.In the past, oxen played an important role in the spiritual life of the Chinese. Even today, oxen still play a special part in some folk activities. For example, some people who live in southwest China will cook cattle bone soup and share it among family members when holding the ceremony for children who reach 13. They believe that the cattle bone soup represents the blood relationship among family members. In order to express their love for oxen, people in some other areas will run to shake off diseases on the 16th day of the first month by the lunar calendar (农历), and during their run they will take their oxen along，which indicates they regard the creature as human.Because of the contribution of oxen in their lives, the Chinese people are very grateful to the animal. In addition, the use of oxen in ceremonies and the thanks people owe to oxen help to develop various traditional customs, which becomes an important part of the folk culture of the Chinese nation.40．The words “boats on land〞 underlined in Paragraph 2 refer to________.A. animals for taking goodsB. creatures for pulling plowsC. treasures of the folk cultureD. tools in the farming economy41．From the third paragraph, we know that________.A. oxen are no more important today than in the pastB. ceremonies are held when people cook cattle bone soupC. oxen are treated as human in some areas of ChinaD. people run with oxen to shake off diseases every month42．Which of the following helps to develop traditional customs?A. The special role of oxen in farming.B. People’ s respect and love for oxen.C. The practical value of an ox’s body.D. The contribution of oxen to the economy.43．Why does the author write the text?A. To stress the importance of oxen in farming.B. To introduce the Chinese folk culture.C. To describe how to celebrate the Year of Ox.D. To explain how to develop agriculture with oxen.CLast year, Jack Bleed cut through the bone of his ring finger while working. The 31-year-old resident of North Little Rock, Arkansas, waited for about six hours at a nearby medical center while the medical staff there called all over town —even as far away as Dallas and Memphis —to find a hand surgeon to reattach his finger. Finally, a willing doctor was located in Louisville, Kentucky. But even though Bleed had insurance(保险), he would have to hire a private plane to get himself there, at a cost of $4,300. In the end, he charged the cost to two credit cards, and his finger was saved. His insurance company eventually covered the cost of the plane, but his experience makes people aware of the fact that trauma(外伤) care in the United States is not only geographically limited, but in many places, non-existent.Only eight states — New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Illinois, New Mexico, California, Oregon, and Washington —have local, fully functional trauma systems. The remaining states have partial systems, and 12 —including Arkansas — have no trauma system at all.Although the President has signed a bill of $12 million for the purpose of supporting trauma care systems nationwide, many in Congress(国会) are unwilling to spend government money for a service they think should be paid for by states, says Wayne Meredith, medical director for trauma programs at the American College of Surgeons. Meanwhile, many states have also failed to find the dollars to support trauma systems. To make matters worse, many people without insurance depend heavily on the emergency care services, placing a huge financial burden on the medical centers that serve them.For the same reason, doctors, too, often go unpaid. They are unwilling to perform emergency care, worsening critical shortages of neurosurgeons, orthopedists, and hand surgeons — the very types of specialists Bleed needed at short notice.Supporting a trauma care system doesn’t take much. A half-penny sales tax in Miami-Dade County makes its outstanding system work. In Arkansas alone, says Wayne Meredith, a well-funded trauma system would possibly prevent 200 to 600 deaths each year. If trauma care systems were to work well across the nation, experts say, many thousands of lives each year could be saved. “You don’t get much better return on your investment than that,〞 Meredith says.44. In Paragraph 1, the writer use s Bleed’s case to ______.A. make a comparisonB. describe a personC. introduce a topicD. tell a story45. Many people in Congress argue that trauma care systems should be supported by ______.A. the PresidentB. each stateC. insurance companiesD. the US government46. The example of Miami-Dade County shows that ______.A. its tax policy is admirableB. running a trauma system is profitableC. a trauma system is not expensiveD. sales tax is not heavy in small counties47. Why are the present trauma care systems in some states not satisfactory?A. They are shared by all the states.B. They are short of financial support.C. The doctors are not well trained.D. The hospitals can’t provide low-cost services.DFriends play a very important par t in everyone’s life. Friendship usually develops during childhood. New friends are made when you progress through school. Those friends that you make as a student can usually last long. Friends influence your development, maturity (成熟) and sense of responsibility. A familiar expression is “you can tell a lot about a person by knowing who his friends are.〞Friendship is based on common interests. If you like sports, most of your friends are likely to be athletic. If you enjoy reading and shopping, most of your friends do the same.Some people call you their friends for the wrong reason. These people are not really friends. They are only “friends〞 on the outside, not the inside where it counts. They only want to be your friends if it is to their advantage. True friends are there whether you are rich or poor. It is easy to have many so-called “friends〞if you are rich. By this time you should be able to separate your friends into the real or the “false〞.True friends are most special. They are also difficult to find. You can consider yourself very lucky if you have one true friend. This friend is eager to help you whenever necessary. He or she knows you would do the same for them.A true friend is someone you can talk to about any subject or problem. You and your true friend have good understanding of each other. True friends support you, take your side, and build up your confidence.48. “So-called〞 friends refer to .A. fair-weather friendsB. those who want to benefit from youC. the friends who are on the surface onlyD. all of the above49. Which of the following is NOT true?A. You should tell true friends from false ones.B. True friendship is too difficult to find.C. You can share your joys and sorrows with a true friend.D. A true friend will stand by you whatever happens.50. The proper title for this article may be “〞.A. FriendlinessB. What friends likeC. True FriendsD.

C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AIn choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).Above all , I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person‟s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on (信赖) a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.When I meet someone who is rel iable, honest, and understanding, I know I‟ve found a friend!36. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?A. understanding.B. honesty.C. reliability.D. a sense of humor.37. If you have fair weather friends, ______ .A. they will give you all that they have when you need helpB. you will be refused when you get into troubleC. you will become richD. you can be sure that you get real friends38. Good friends need to ______.A. always point out each other‟s mistakesB. be helped with moneyC. understand each other‟s feelingsD. have money or luck39. This passage mainly discuss ______ .A. the importance of having a friendB. where to choose friendsC. how to get along with friendsD. the qualities of a friendBWhen was the last time you were late and expected someone to understand? How about the time you left your dishes on the table for someone else to clean up? Or perhaps you left the lid on the peanut butter jar loose, and the person after you opened the jar to find it dry and not fresh.Often, we are eager to ignore our own faults. But we have higher standards when it comes to our expectations of someone else who has the same expectations. We need to as equally understand the weaknesses of others and excuse them just as we excuse ourselves.Two of my strengths are punctuality(准时) and organization. I like to meetdeadlines when they are due and keep the space around my computer neat and orderly. But sometimes things happen, and I slip from being perfect. When this happens, I show myself mercy and lower the standard for myself. However, if someone else makes a mess around my computer, I might not show them as much mercy as I show myself. If it can happen to me, then I should be willing to realize that it can happen to someone else as well.I am not suggesting that we should not work on improving our faults, or that it should be right to be late or leave a mess behind us. Although we should always be working towards self-improvement, we shouldn‟t have a double standard that says we are excused from our own mistakes but we cannot excuse someone else. If we are not 100-percent perfect, we shouldn‟t expect others to be.Mercy shows an understanding heart. If we are blind to our own faults, we will not be very merciful towards others. Showing a little mercy goes a long way when life‟s little mistakes take place. When the tables are turned, showing mercy towards someone‟s shortcomings could cause us to receive som e in return.40. From the first paragraph we can learn that________________.A. we all make a mess sometimesB. we all need private spaceC. we should accept others‟ help with gratitudeD. we should not open the lid on the peanut butter jar41. How does the author develop the third paragraph?A. By raising questions.B. By giving examples.C. By analyzing opinions.D. By showing research findings42. The underlined part,“When the tables are turned” in the last paragraph, can be bestreplaced by____________.A. “When good luck comes”B. “When benefits increase”C. “When our mistakes happen”D. “When the situation is changed”43. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Changing Bad Daily HabitsB. Excusing Our Own FaultsC. Being Merciful Toward OthersD. Working Toward Self-improvementCHave you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job‟s pay. There are several areas of your personalitythat you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas;1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?There are isolating jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.2) How do you handle change?Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don‟t happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily ro utine.3) Do you enjoy working with computers？I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as 4) What type of work environment do you enjoy？This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won‟t know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.5) How do you like to get paid?Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.44. What is unnecessary in your job hunting?A．Assessing your skills B．Taking your personality into consideration C．Matching your skills with a position D．Going to different areas45. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Isolating usually drive people mad.B. Interactive jobs make people shy easily.C. Extreme people tend to work with others.D. Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.46. The underlined word “stability” in the passage most probably means?A.no anger.B. no movement.C. gentleness.D. enthusiasm.47. What could be the best title for this passage?A. Lifestyles and Job PayB. Personalities and JobsC. Job Skills and AbilitiesD. Jobs and EnvironmentDDear Daisy,Phew! I‟m so glad that day is over. I was so worried all summer that my first day at my new school would be terrible.I‟m really tired, but my first day at school went well and I feel much better now.First of all, we had to meet outside the school building. I was very nervous because my primary school only had 300 pupils but in the secondary school there are about 1,300. What a difference! The older pupils are really big. I felt so small waiting there in front of the school.The other problem was that I didn‟t know anyone. My family moved over the summer holidays, because of Dad‟s new job. So now I have to try to make some new friends. Standing in front of the school this morning, I wanted to be back at my old school with my old friends.The head teacher came out and told us to go into the school hall. Then he called our names out to tell us which class we were in. My class teacher is called Mrs. Black. She took us to our classroom. It‟s on the 5th floor and …guess what? ... We aren‟t allowed to use the lift. I couldn‟t believe it.When we were walking up all the stairs I started talking to another boy who didn‟t know anyone. He said his family had moved from Hong Kong over the summer. He seemed really nice so we sat together when we got to our classroom, out of breath! He said his English was very poor but I thought it was really good.We spent all morning with Mrs. Black looking at our timetables. Everyone in theschool has a different timetable—can you believe it? Half of the school is learning Spanish as a second language and the other half learns French. I‟m in the Spanish group, which sounds like fun. I‟m worried that I‟ll forget my timetable and go to the wrong room! How will anyone help me if nobody else has the same timetable as me?Lunchtime was OK. After lunch we started lessons. I had maths, which was complicated and difficult and then history, where we started to learn about ancient Greece. That looks interesting. I have to do some homework tonight to find out how the ancient Greek people lived.So far so good. I‟m quite looking forward to tomorrow, even though I‟ve got science. I hate science!Jason48. How did the author feel on the first day at his new school?A. Terrible.B. Good.C. Worried.D. Funny.49. The head teacher came to ______.A. tell the students which class they were inB. give the students a timetableC. show the students how to use the liftD. tell the students what language they would learn50. What does the author think of …Everyone in the school has a different timetable.‟?A. He liked this very much.B. He was worried about this.C. He liked this a bit.D. He couldn‟t understand the timetable.四、七选五(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。
