AThe writings of Shakespeare are today little read by young people in Britain. His young readership is limited to those who choose to study literature at university.Shakespeare’s work, together with most othe r classics, is seen as remote, and written in a 400-year-old version of English that is about as inviting as toothache.Still, in Britain schools, it is compulsory to study the bard (诗人), and when something is made compulsory, usually the result is boredom, resentment (憎恨)or both.This was my experience of the classics at school. But when I reached my late teenage years, I had a change of heart. Like every other young person since the dawn of time, the world confused me. I wanted answers, so I turned to books to find them.I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught it in Britain and China. I have never regretted it. There is something in literature that people want, even if they don’t read books. You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adap tations of great works, the recent film version of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice being a case in point. These popular adaptations may help increase people’s interest in the classics.Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading o f Shakespeare’s actual play. If that is the case, then I welcome the trend. But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing. Shakespeare is a poet. His greatness is in his language. Reading someone else’s rewriting of his work is like peeling a banana, throwing away the fruit, and eating the skin. Take on the original. It really is worth the effort.1．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．The language used in classics is no longer in use today.B．British students usually find compulsory reading dull.C．Only those studying literature read Shakespeare’s works.D．For British people, Shakespeare’s works are no longer classics.2．According to the passage, the writer ________.A．has liked literary classics since an early ageB．was forced to read the classics for a PhDC．turned to literature to seek answers in his teensD．thinks only people who read books like literature3．The popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works may help people ______.A．learn more about tradition B．get a PhD in literatureC．seek their answers about the world D．become more interested in the classics4．The underlined phrase “a case in point” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “_______”.A．a great hit B．a good exampleC．a movie adaptation D．a popular phenomenon5．What does the writer intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A．The fruit of a banana is more useful than its skin.B．The rewriting trend does more harm than good.C．Readers should try to read the original versions.D．Readers need to learn the language in the classics.BFor Kim LeBlanc, knowing that her son Tyler’s organs, eyes and other tissues have given life or healing to others is helping her cope with the loss of her child, who was struck by a truck in Guelph on May 31.Tyler was believed to have been texting a friend when he stepped onto a high-traffic road against the green light and was struck by the truck. Then he was sent to a Hamilton hospital. Surgery was performed to ease the pressure in his brain, but .the family was told he would not recover.“With all of his injuries, I just prayed all night for a miracle. And I was granted a miracle, but not in the way I’d expected,” says LeBlanc, her voice choked by emotion.The family decided to do nate Tyler’s organs, a choice she believes her kind and considerate son would have made on his own. It’s also a choice that transplant programs wish would be made more often, because the need for donor organs is far more than the supply worldwide. More than 1,500 people in Ontario are on the waiting list for life-saving organs, and one dies every day because an organ has not become available in time. Across Canada, the gap between donations and the need for organs continues to widen. At the end of 2010, more than 4,400 Canadians were on the waiting list for donor organs, including 3,362 needing a kidney. That year, 229 died before the organs they needed became available.LeBlanc recalls the morning when her son was taken off life support and his organs were removed. Despite living what she calls a parent’s absolute worst nightmare, LeBlanc says she has got the strength to bear such an unbearable loss. “He’s still there. He’s still living. And he’s still breathing. And he’s brought so much joy to families,” she says. “He’s my hero. He really is my hero.”6．Tyler was struck by the truck mainly because________.A．he broke the traffic rule B．he was talking with his friendsC．the truck ignored him D．the truck ran at a high speed7．The figures in paragraph 4 show that ________.A．more people begin to donate their organsB．more people are dying during organ transplant operationsC．many people don’t know how to donate their organsD．many people are in great need of organ transplant worldwide8．It is implied in the last paragraph that ________.A．LeBlanc was desperate about Tyler’s deathB．LeBlanc will never forget Tyler’s contributionC．LeBlanc felt relieved with Tyler’s organ donatedD．LeBlanc has never thought that Tyler will be a heroCNowadays more and more people are talking about genetically modified foods ( GM foods). GM foods develop from genetically modified organisms (有机体), which have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are much more precise where an organism is exposed to chemicals to create a non-specific but stable change. For many people, the high-tech production raises all kinds, of environmental, ethical(伦理的), health and safety problems. Particularly in countries with long farming traditions, the idea seems against nature.In fact, GM foods are already very much a part of our lives. They were first put on the market in 1996.A third of the corn and more than half the cotton grown in the US last year was the product of biotechnology, according to the Department of Agriculture. More than 65 million acres of genetically modified crops will be planted in the US this year. The genetic genie is out of the bottle.However, like any new product entering the food chain, GM foods must be subjected to careful testing. In wealthy countries, the debate about biotech is not so fierce by the fact that they have a large number of foods to choose from, and a supply that goes beyond the needs. In developing countries desperate to feed fast-growing and under fed populations, the matter is simpler and much more urgent: do the benefits of biotech outweigh the risks?The statistics on population growth and hunger are disturbing. Last year the world’s population reached 6 billion. The UN states that nearly 800 million people around the world are unhealthy. About 400 million women of childbearing age don’t have enough iron, which means their babies are exposed to various birth defeats. As many as 100 million children suffer from vitamin A deficiency, a leading cause of blindness.How can biotech help? Genetic engineering is widely used to produce plants and animals with better nutritional values. Biotechnologists have developed genetically modified rice and they are working on other kinds of nutritionally improved crops. Biotech can also improve farming productivity in places where food shortage are caused by crop damage attributable to drought, poor soil and crop viruses.9．The passage mainly talks about _______.A．the world’s food problem B．the development in biotechC．the genetically modified foods D．the way to solve food shortage 10．According to the passage, GM foods ________.A．will replace naturally grown foodsB．are far better than naturally grown foodsC．may help to solve the problem of poor nutritionD．can cause serious trouble in developing countries11．The underlined sentence “The genetic genie is out of the bottle.” in paragraph 2 probably means that _______.A．GM foods are available everywhereB．the technology in producing GM foods is advancedC．genetic technology may have uncontrollable powersD．genetic technology has come out of laboratories into markets12．What’s the writer’s attitude towards GM foods?A．Enthusiastic. B．Cautious.C．Disapproving. D．Unbelievable.DIf you start each day desperately wishing for an extra hour in bed, the following is likely to leave you feeling even grumpier.Scientists have identified a sleepless elite—a small group of people for whom a lie-in is a waste of time. Rather than being tired and bad-tempered underachievers, they are an energetic, outgoing and optimistic group who can happily and healthily get by on just four of five hours of shut-eye a night.If that is not tiring enough, they tend to be able to hold down two jobs at the sane time, and breeze through their extra-long days without needing caffeine pick-me-ups or catnaps. Working out how the gene cuts sleep without any obvious impact on health could help in the design of drugs that give us all a few extra hours in our day. The bad news is that while many of us get by on a few hours’ sleep a night, just one to three people in 100 qualify to be part of the sleepless elite.The research team is now appealing to members of the lucky group to come forward to allow their DNA to be studied. University of California researcher Ying-Hui Fu said, “My long-term goal is to someday learn enough so that we can control the sleep pathways without damaging our health.”“Everybody can use more waking hours, even if you just watch movies.”Many of those have already volunteered to share fascinating characteristics. They are thinner than the average, relentlessly upbeat (enthusiastic) and seem to have a high tolerance for physical pain and psychological setbacks.Researcher Dr Christopher Jones told the Wall Street Journal, “Typically, at the end of a long-structured phone interview, they will admit they have been testing and surfing the Internet and doing crossword puzzles at the same time, on less than si x hours of sleep.”13．We can infer from the second paragraph that a sleepless elite is _______.A．a group of people who always have a phenomenon of sleeplessness every dayB．those who are not willing to sleep long but always energetic, outgoing and optimisticC．a group of people for whom a lie-in is a pleasure of killing timeD．those who have no time for a good sleep because of their busy work14．Ying-Hui Fu’s research is intended to _______.A．control people’s sleep pathways B．make medicine to cure the sleeplessnessC．work continuously without any sleep D．control a sleepless elite’s genes15．A sleepless elite has the following things in common except _______.A．great energy B．tough mindC．being much thinner D．high tolerance第二节：七选五阅读（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。

甘肃高二高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.There are many superstitions(迷信) in Britain, but one of the most widelyheld is that it is unlucky to walk undera ladder—even if it means stepping off the pavement into a busy street!①Walking under a ladderIf you must walk under a ladder you can avoid bad luck by crossing your fingers and keeping them crossed until you've seen a dog. Alternatively, you must lick your finger and make a cross on the toe of your shoe, and not look again at the shoe until the mark has dried.②UmbrellaAnother common superstition is that it is unlucky to open an umbrella in the house—it will either bring misfortune to the person that opened it or to the household.

Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affectweight. Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favourite TV show is over.According to Dr Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers' markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as highquality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of FrenchWomenDon'tGetFat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity—or extreme overweight—among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%—and is growing.【1】In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr Joseph Mercola?A．They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.B．They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.C．They regard eating as a key part of their life style.D．They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.【2】This text is mainly the relationship between ________．A．Americans and the FrenchB．life style and obesityC．children and adultsD．fast food and overweight【3】Where does this text probably come from?A．A TV interview.B．A food advertisement.C．A health report.D．A book review.3.The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid—we simply weigh too much，and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicusbasilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several metres, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water's surface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, we'd need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate “hitting”．But fortunately there is an alternative: corn flour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a “nonNewtonian” liquid that doesn't behave like normal water. N ow, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(粒子) in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of corn flour.Fun though all this may sound, it's still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink—and take a shower afterwards!【1】What do we know about Basilicusbasilicus from the passage?A．It is light enough to walk on water.B．Its huge feet enable it to stay above water.C．It can run across water at a certain speed.D．Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water.【2】What is the function of the corn flour according to the passage?A．To create a thick liquid.B．To turn the water into solid.C．To help the liquid behave normally.D．To enable the water to move rapidly.【3】What is the author's attitude towards the idea of humans' walking on water?A．It is risky but beneficial.B．It is interesting and worth trying.C．It is crazy and cannot become a reality.D．It is impractical though theoretically possible.二、其他Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 【1】But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooki ng fish isn’t difficult.【2】This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.【3】Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh.【4】When you hav e bought a fish and arrive home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one.There are many common methods used to cook fish.【5】 First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices（调料）.Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to se rve.A．Do not buy it.B．The easiest is to steam it.C．This is how you can do it.D．It just requires a little knowledge.E. The fish will go bad within hours.F. When buying fish, you should first smell it.G. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.三、完形填空Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program.

甘肃省张掖市某重点校2023-2024学年高二上学期十月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解China’s long history has seen many scientists making great contributions to the development of ancient China and even the world. We have selected several greatest scientists in ancient China and hope to help you learn more about Chinese science and technology.Zhang Zhongjing (150-219) was a Chinese physician in Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). He founded medication principles and summarized the medicinal experience before his time. His famous work “ Shang Han Za Bing Lun ” had a major influence on the practice of traditional Chinese medicine. Today, this great book was still considered very important in the practice of Chinese medicine.Li Daoyuan (AD 427 or 469-527) was a great Chinese geographer during the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534). He wrote the famous work “ Commentary to the River Classic ” (Shui Jing Zhu). The book is a great work on the ancient geography of China and it sums up China’s geography and its surrounding areas before Northern Wei Dynasty.Sun Simiao was an outstanding medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty (618-907). He was called “ China’s King of Medicine ” for his important contributions to Chinese traditional medicine. Sun authored two books — “Qian Jin Yao Fang” and “Qian Jin Yi Fang” that were both landmarks in Chinese medicine history.Shen Kuo was a great Chinese scientist and politician of the Song Dynasty (960-1279). He compiled (汇编) an scientific work “Dream Pool Essays”, which involves a lot descriptions about the animals and plants in the country. Shen also first described the magnetic needle compass, which would be used for navigation (航行). His discovery of concept of true north towards the north pole was four hundred years earlier than Europe.1．The passage is mainly written to ________ .A．encourage readers to learn from these great scientistsB．explain what contributes to the development of ancient ChinaC．broaden readers’ horizons on Chinese science and technologyD．introduce the great medical contributions Chinese scientists made2．Whose work had a great effect on the practice of traditional Chinese medicine?A．Zhang Zhongjing’s B．Li Daoyuan’s C．Sun Simiao’sD．Shen Kuo’s3．What do we know about Shen Kuo?A．He was a Chinese physician in Han Dynasty.B．He worked on the ancient geography of China.C．He was regarded as “China’s King of Medicine”.D．He described the animals and plants a lot in his work.Isabel Crook was born into a Canadian family in Chengdu, Southwest China’s Sichuan Province in 1915.While her parents were engaged in setting up schools and education organizations in Southwest China, Isabel herself was more interested in anthropology (人类学) and the ethnic minorities in China. As a foreign girl born in an Asian country that wasundergoing great changes, she had every reason to be curious about what was going on around her.At the age of 23, Isabel graduated from a Canadian college with a master’s degree and began carrying out field research in Sichuan Province. In 1947, Isabel and her husband David Crook were warmly welcomed by the Communist Party of China (CPC) to observe and study the revolutionary land reform taking place in China. In 1948 the couple accepted the invitation from a CPC representative to teach at a newly-built foreign affairs school. The school was the forerunner (前身) of today’s Beijing Foreign Studies University(BFSU). As a teacher at BFSU she laid the foundation for foreign language education in China.As two of the first three foreign teachers at the school, Isabel and her husband brought new Western teaching methods to the classroom. Michael Crook, Isabel’s second son, noted that since some students were extremely poor during the 1950s and 1960s, his parents were especially sensitive to their situation and did what they could to help them while protecting their self-esteem. For example, they would bring food such as eggs and bread for picnics and share them with students who brought steamed bread of corn.According to the younger Crook, because of his parents’ belief in communism, they chose to use political texts as their teaching materials, such as works once admired by Karl Marx. Understanding that the students would become diplomats (外交官) representing China, his parents tried to help students gain knowledge in different fields to better prepare them for communicating with foreigners in English.On December 15th 2018, Isabel got the award of “The Most Influential Foreign Expat during 40 Years of China’s Reform and Opening up” from the Chinese government. On September 17, 2019, Isabel was awarded the Friendship Medal — the highest honor in China for foreigners — for her lifetime of devotion to China.4．What did Isabel independently do according to the text?A．She did field research.B．She helped the poor students.C．She was invited to teach English in China.D．She introduced teaching methods of Western countries to China.5．What can we infer from paragraph 2 and paragraph 3?A．Isabel and her husband were rich at that time.B．In the 1950s, Isabel’s husband worked as a reporter in China.C．Isabel made great contributions to China’s foreign language education.D．Isabel and her husband taught students only in Western ways of teaching.6．Why did the couple use political texts as teaching materials?A．They believed in communism.B．They were crazy about Chinese politics.C．They wanted to spread the spirits of Karl Marx.D．They had to teach many subjects including politics.7．Which of the following can best describe Isabel?A．Patient.B．Caring.C．Strict.D．Romantic.Make Up Your Mind to SucceedKind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone’s a winner.” And their report cards sounded more positive (正面的) than ever before. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here’s how they work:A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent is genetic -you’re a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it’s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it is quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn’t on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it is quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck's book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children,grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.8．What does the author think about the generation born between 1980 and2001?________________.A．They don’t do well at school.B．They are often misunderstood.C．They are eager to win in sports.D．They are given too much praise.9．A fixed mind-set person is probably one who______________.A．doesn’t want to work hardB．cares a lot about personal safetyC．cannot share his ideas with othersD．can succeed with the help of teachers10．What does the growth mind-set believe?____________________ .A．Admitting failure is shameful.B．Talent comes with one’s birth.C．Scores should be highly valued.D．Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.11．What should parents do for their children based on Dweck’s study?______________.A．Encourage them to learn from failures.B．Prevent them from making mistakes.C．Guide them in doing little things.D．Help them grow with praise.“Why do people enjoy saying that they are bad at math?” wonders Petra Bonfert, a professor of engineering at Dartmouth College. After seeing too many examples of adults “passing on mathematical anxiety like a virus,” Bonfert has an important message for math-phobic parents and educators: “We are passing on from generation to generation the fear for mathematics.”Many people hold the view that math is inherently hard, and only people with an inborn mathematical ability can understand it. While well-meaning adults may think they’re encouraging kids by sharing their own math fears, research has shown the opposite. Research has found that the problem is particularly significant for girls, who “are especially affectedwhen a teacher publicly announces math hatred before she picks up the chalk.” Moreover, a study published recently reported that female mathematical achievement was diminished in response to a female teacher’s mathematical anxiety. The effect was correlated: the higher a teacher’s anxiety, the lower the scores.”Parents’ anxiety about math can have a similar effect on kids’ achievement and their attitude toward the subject. Children who received math homework help from mathematically fearful parents showed weaker math achievements than their peers, which in turn resulted in increased math anxiety for the children themselves. New research on math anxiety confirms that these parents unintentionally teach kids to expect that math will be beyond their capabilities.Fortunately, Sian Beilock, a cognitive scientist of Barnard College, has found a surprisingly easy way for parents to stop passing on math anxiety and build their children’s math confidence. The most important finding is the importance of normalizing math at home in a way that’s relaxing and playful: from using math-themed books and stories, playing with math games and toys to cooking together. He argues that we need to teach kids that “working on mathematical skills is not unlike practicing a sport. Neither can be learned by watching others perform the activity and both require encouragement and effort. You do not need an inborn mathematical ability in order to solve mathematical problems. Rather, what is required is perseverance, a willingness to take risks and feeling safe to make mistakes.12．Why do some people share their math fear with kids?A．To expect kids to learn from their mistake.B．To prove only geniuses can learn it well.C．To give encouragement to their kids.D．To stress the importance of geneticfactors.13．What does the underlined word “diminished” mean?A．Decreased.B．Measured.C．Improved.D．Influenced. 14．What can be learned from the last paragraph?A．Normalizing maths at home is relaxing and full of fun.B．Having an inborn math ability is essential to children.C．Developing mathematical skills differs from doing a sport.D．Encouragement and efforts help yield math learning success.15．What’s the main idea of the text?A．Math-phobic adults are to blame for math failure.B．Math anxiety is nothing to be afraid of at all.C．Parents and teachers pass on math fear to kids.D．Risks and mistakes are what success takes.二、七选五Imagine the great challenge in front of you as a big rock. If you choose to give up, youtruly face the difficult choices in your life.17 Great things never come easy. If you have big dreams, you’re going to do big work to achieve them. It’s okay to take time to figure out the best way to proceed, but it’s not okay to walk away only because they’re challenging.Remember that you are not alone. When we face difficult choices or events in our lives, we often forget that we are not the first, only or last to experience these. Everyone faces hard decisions. 18 In some cases, they may even be able to offer you advice you wouldn’t have thought of otherwise.Figure out what you lack. No matter what the challenge you’re facing, maybe there’s a reason. If it’s a job, why is it that you haven’t got hired? Go back through the job listings and skills required and find what you don’t have. 19Choose to see challenges as lessons. 20 As the old saying goes, what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger. When you go through something challenging, you learn from it, regardless of the outcome. Recognize the opportunities for learning and personal development.Adjust your mindset, learn to deal with challenges and you’ll become a strong and successful person.A．Be patient with yourself.B．Remember that you have choices.C．We build character through hard times.D．Do something to push yourself closer to the “perfect candidate”.E．So don’t be afraid to reach out to your friends or family for ideas.F．No matter how great the challenge is, breaking it down is a must.G．However, the fastest way to get over it is to break it and go right through it.三、完形填空When I was eighteen, I couldn’t wait to get my first job, which meant I made the first step toward adulthood.But it was difficult to get a work permit.

AOne day a lawyer’s wife fell ill, and he went to get a doctor. The doctor willingly came to see the woman and to do what he could for her, but before he went into the house, he made a short stop. He knew that the lawyer was famous for not paying his bills, even if they were due(正当的).He therefore said to the man. “But if I save your wife, I am afraid you may not pay me.” “Sir,” replied the lawyer. “Here I have＄500.Whether you cure my wife or you kill her, I'll give you all this.”The doctor was reassured(使安心) and went into the house. When he reached the woman's bedside, it soon became clear to him that he could do little. She was seriously ill, and though he prescribed(开药方) her medicine, she soon died.He told the lawyer he was very sorry, and then asked for the money which he had promised. “Did you kill my wife?” Asked the lawyer. “Of course I didn't.” said the doctor. “Well!

Today it is one of the most popular tourist attractions and attracts over three million visitors a year.It was occasionally used as a Royal Palace for the Kings and Queens of England until the time of James I but is best known as a prison and an execution(死刑) place. Within the walls of the Tower, princes have been murdered, spies shot, and Queens of England beheaded. One of the most famous executions was that of Anne Boleyn in 1536. She was the second wife of Henry VIII. He wanted to get rid of her because she could not give him a son. She was tried and found guilty. The sword and the executioner were brought over specially from France and with one stroke the executioner cut off her head.The Tower was also the scene of one of London’s most famous mysteries,known as the mystery of the Princes in the Tower. King Edward IV died in 1483. He had two sons, Edward and Richard, and the elder, Edward, became the king on his father’s death. As he was only 12 years old, his uncle (Richard, Duke of Gloucester) became his Protector until the time of his coronation. Young Edward lived in the Tower, and the Duke persuaded Edward’s brother to come and live there as well so that they could play together. But then the Duke announced that he was the new king, and he, not Edward, was crowned(加冕), calling himself Richard III.After that, the boys were seen less and eventually disappeared. It is believed that Richard III ordered their deaths, although it has never been proved. Today, the Tower where the boys were imprisoned(囚禁) in the Bloody Tower.4．The Tower of London was first intended________.A. to attract touristsB. for the conqueror to protect and control the city of LondonC. for William the Conqueror to protect the people from invasion(侵略)D. to defend the country from invasion5．The Tower of London became_________.A. a place for the rulers after James I came to powerB. a place for execution of common people at the time of James IC. a place of attraction for tourists right after it was builtD. a place to imprison and execute people after James I was crowned6．Anne Boleyn _______.A. was executed because she had committed a crimeB. was beheaded because she had lost the king’s favourC. was imprisoned in the Tower of London for lifeD. was sentenced to death after she had given birth to a child7．After the death of King Edward IV_______.A.

Duke of Gloucester took over the crown by cheating his nephewsD. his son was beheaded in publicCA girl was having problems with her old boyfriend. Even though she didn’t want to see him any more, he seemed to turn up everywhere she went. By “coincidence” he went to the same movies, the same restaurants and the same shops. When she went on a date with a new guy and the old boyfriend just happened to appear, she became suspicious(怀疑的). Police found a global positioning system(GPS) device(设备) in her car that the old boyfriend was using to follow her.New communication technologies always have a combination of benefits and problems. GPS allows hikers and people in boats and cars to avoid getting lost; GPS can also help police track stolen cars. Because GPS systems are built into cell phones, police and others who help in an emergency(紧急情况) can more easily locate someone who calls for help.A new form of identification is Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). RFID uses tiny microchips(芯片), the size of a grain of sand. They are used like bar codes on products, but nothing has to be scanned in; walking past a detector(检测器) is enough. RFIDs are now being sewn into clothing. This is fine when you are paying, but when you wear your clothes and walk back into the store, the store will know exactly what you bought when you bought it and how much you paid for it. Moreover, based on what you are wearing, the store advertisements may change just for you as you walk by. Is this the end of privacy?These concerns also expand to new video telephones.
