AReading a bedtime story to his son one evening, Carl Honore noticed that he was reading very quickly. He was thinking about all the things he had to do later: check email, make phone calls, book a flight, prepare things for work, and so on. He suddenly realized that he had become caught in the trap of speed, rushing here and there, getting up early in the morning and burning the midnight oil at night. The more he thought about the fast pace of modern life, the worse he felt. He had ended up speed-reading to his son because he was so busy.As a journalist, he was curious about the phenomenon he was experiencing, so he did some research. He found that Americans now spend forty percent less time with their children than they did in the 1960s. Honore decided to write a book about the subject called In Praise of Slow. He wanted to let people know about the benefits of slowing down. He does not ask readers to throw out their TVs and become farmers. Instead, he describes the harmful effects of our love of speed in our lives, such as stress and health problems, he also explains the philosophy of the Slow Movement. A growing number of people around the world are choosing to take things easy, to do less, in order to lead a fuller life. There is even an International Day of Slowness on June 21. Cark Honore strongly believes that if people would only slow down, they would enjoy life so much more.1.According to the passage, if American parents in the 1960s spent 6 hours with their kids, Americanparents now spend ___________ hours with their kids.A. 2B. more than 6C. 2.4D. 3.62.If John burned the midnight oil at night, he was ___________.A.at playB. at workC. at leisureD. at rest3.According to the passage, which statement about Carl Honore is NOT true?A.He was a news reporter.B.He read a bedtime story to his son.C.He suffered from stress and health problems.D.He was the writher of In Praise of Slow.BThe history of civil engineering(土木工程) is a very important story in the development of civilization. Civil engineers began practicing their profession four thousand years ago. Every great civilization, Egyptians, Minoan, and Romans, for instance, had the civil engineers. What is left of their work can prove that they were intelligent. These engineers of the ancient world built entire cities. They designed systems ofpipes which supplied fresh water. They built water pipelines for farmlands as well as bridges of great length. The ruins of the structures tell us much about the work of early engineers.Consider the pyramids of Egypt. They are evidence that some of the earliest engineers had great scientific ability. They are also proof that those engineers could make lasting works of art and design. Although they lived thousands of years ago, the Egyptian engineers used very exact measurements. The base of the largest pyramid, the great pyramid near Gizeh, comes to within inches of being a perfect square. The pyramid is perfectly placed. Each corner points toward the exact directions of north, south, east and west. The inside of the pyramid is filled with complicated passages and tunnels. These lead to different rooms inside the pyramid.The engineers of Egypt did more than designing the pyramids. They also set up methods of moving and shaping the building materials. These were very heavy. They had to be brought from miles away and sometimes lifted several hundred feet. During the work, the engineers commanded thousands of workers. The pyramids remain as evidence of the abilities of the ancient Egyptian engineers.4.Four thousand years ago, ___________.A.people began practicing civil engineering in order to become professional engineersB.civil engineers began putting their knowledge into practiceC.there appeared civil engineers by professionD.civil engineers got more involved in their profession5.The civil engineers of the ancient time were intelligent enough to build entire cities, including___________.A.systems of pipes, bridges and pyramidsB.water supply systems, bridges and structuresC.pipelines systems, bridges and farmlandsD.water supply systems, bridges and pipelines for cultivation6.The base of the Gizeh Pyramid is cited by the author as a perfect example of ___________.A.exact measurement adopted by the designersB.great scientific ability of the builderssting work of art and designD. a very large square7.Which of the following about the pyramids can be learned from the passage?A.Building materials were processed to meet certain requirements for their size and shape.B.Building materials were broken into smaller pieces of all sizes.C.There were no requirements for the size and shape of building materials.D.Egyptian engineers were not concerned with the size and shape of the building materials.CScientists have found that bee venom(毒液) can be used to develop new treatments of rheumatoid arthritis(类风湿性关节炎).They have shown the venom contains molecules (分子) that cause an increase in natural hormones(荷尔蒙) in the body. The research has raised hopes that the new treatments can help bring relief from the pain of arthritis and even prevent it from developing in the first place. The findings help to explain some stories of how patients who receive a bee sting treatment report improvement in their condition.Dr Suzana Beatriz V erissimo de Mello, a professor who led the research at the University of Sao Paulo, in Brazil, said bee venom caused increased levels of the hormones which defend against the disease.She said, “Bee venom is a complex mixture of materials that are known to ca use protective responses in humans, and it has been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis for centuries. Our data shows thatbee venom prevents the development of arthritis in the rabbits that are tested in the experiments.”Bee Sting Treatment is often used as a form of alternative medicine in which patients endure hundreds of stings by bees in the hope of getting better. The new research is the first time a scientific explanation has been shown for the effect.Professor Alan Silman, medical director of Arthritis Research UK, warned that it might be some time before any practical applications could be found.He said, “Knowing that when some people suffering arthritis are stung by bees their pain goes away for a short while is one thing; actually turning these early laboratory findings into a practical application is quite another.”8.What would be the best title for the passage?A.New treatments of rheumatoid arthritisB.New findings on the effect of bee venomC.New research about natural hormonesD.New applications of Bee Venom Treatment9.Bee venom can NOT be used to ___________.A.relieve the pain of arthritis for some timeB.get rid of the pain of bee sting immediatelyC.stop arthritis from growing in the first placeD.increase levels of natural hormones in the body10.What does the underlined word “applications” mean in this passage?A. A formal written request for a job, etcB. A piece of softwareC.The use of a rule or piece of knowledge in a particular situationD.Hard work and concentration on what you are doing11.It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.A.the reports of recovery from arthritis are made up by patientsB.the materials of bee venom are made up of natural hormonesC.the effect of bee venom on arthritis was studied centuries agoD.Bee Venom Treatment can be painful for the arthritis patientsDThe job of repairing the carpet was done and it was time for a last cigarette. Eddie began tapping the pockets of his overalls, looking for the new packet of Marlboro he had bought that morning. It was not there.It was as he swung around to look in his toolbox for the cigarettes that Eddie saw the lump (鼓包). Right in the middle of the brand new bright red carpet, there was a lump, a lump the size of a packet of cigarettes.“I’ve done it again!” said Eddie angrily. “I’ve left the cigarettes under the carpet!”He had done this once before, and taking up and repairing the carpet had taken him two hours. Eddie was determined that he was not going to spend another two hours in this house. He decided to get rid of the lump in another way. It would mean wasting a good packet of cigarettes, nearly full, but anything was better than taking up the whole carpet and fitting it again. He turned to his toolbox for a large hammer.Eddie didn’t want to damage the carpet itself, s o he took a block of wood and placed it on top of the lump. Then he began to beat the block of wood as hard as he could. He kept beating, hoping Mrs. Vanbrugh wouldn’t hear the noise and come to see what he was doing. It would be difficult to explain why h e was hammering the middle of her beautiful new carpet… The lump was beginning to flatten out.After three or four minutes, the job was finally finished. Eddie picked up his tools, and began to walkout to his car. Mrs. Vanbrugh accompanied him. She seemed a little worried about something.“Young man, while you were working today, you didn’t by any chance see any sig n of Armand, did you? Armand is my bird. I let him out of his cage, you see, this morning, and he’s disappeared. He likes to walk around the house, and he usually just comes back to his cage after an hour or so and gets right in. O nly today he didn’t come back. He’s never done such a thing before, it’s most peculiar…”“No, madam, I haven’t seen him anywhere,” said Eddie, as he reached to start th e car.And he saw his packet of Marlboro cigarettes on the panel, where he had left it at lunchtime…And he remembered the lump in the carpet…12.What did Eddie want to do when he had finished repairing the carpet?A. To have a cigarette.B. To hammer the carpet flat.C. To put back his tools.D. To start work in the dining room.13.Why didn’t Eddie take out the thing under the carpet?A.It was impossible for him to take up the carpet once it was fitted.B.He didn’t need the cigarettes because he had some more in the car.C.It would take too long to take up the carpet and refit it.D.He intended to come back and remove the lump the next day.14.What did Eddie do with the hammer?A. He drove nails into the lump.B. He fixed his toolbox.C. He refitted the carpet.D. He flattened the lump.15.Mrs. Vanbrugh worried that ________.A. her pet was nowhere to be foundB. fitting the carpet would be expensiveC. Eddie would smoke in the houseD. Eddie hadn’t done a proper job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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
