AThey are the fashion statement loved by hip hop stars and rappers.But now it seems that grilles(金属网罩)—teeth jewellery loved by rappers such as Nelly—are not just about the way you look—you can use them to listen to music,too.A design student has created a way of using the jewellery mouthpiece to hear songs by means of “bone conduction” through your skull.Aisen Chacin,of Parsons The New School for Design in New York,attached a vibrating(振动)motor to a digital music player and connected it to a mold(模子)of her upper teeth.She also placed controls on the underside so users can change songs or increase the volume by pushing up with your tongue.When the music starts,the vibration is strong enough that the music can be heard clearly—without the need for headphones.If the sound being played is loud enough,others can even hear it apparently coming out of your teeth.A video posted on YouTube shows one of Chacin's friends sitting down with the motor in his mouth and his hands in his ears.He didn't believe his eyes when he heard the music.Grilles were made popular by the song by rapper Nelly even though dentists have made warnings against them.They say jewellery materials like gold or diamonds can wear down the enamel(牙釉质)on your teeth and that grilles should not be worn.Chacin showed her device,called Play-A-Grill,at the New Interfaces for Musical Expression conference last week.She said,“Grilles are almost always made of precious metal.They are completely removable,and almost used as a grill.Because the grill is worn over the teeth,sound can be spread using bone conduction hearinginstead of outside speakers or headphones.”21.When we use the grilles,we________.A.can sing to the musicB.can change songs using tonguesC.need to attach a digital music playerD.can hear songs through the outside ears22.Grilles are different from traditional music players because''''.A.they are able to play songs and music a lot more clearlyB.they make it unnecessary for listeners to wear headphonesC.they can play the music loud without interrupting other peopleD.songs coming out of our teeth seem to be sung by ourselves23.How did one of Chacin's friends feel when he heard the music?A.He felt satisfied.B.He felt interested.C.He felt convenient. D.He felt surprised.24.What's the dentists' attitude towards grilles?A.Negative. B.Positive.C.Cautious. D.Unsure.BI was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized.Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere.She even labeled(贴标签)everything.I always looked for everything.Over time,Kate got neater and I got messier.She would push my dirty clothing over,and I would lay my books on her tidy desk.So we both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening.Kate came into the room.Soon,I heard her screaming,“Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!”Deafened,I saw my shoes flying at me.I jumped to my feet and started yelling.She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger.We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call.Kate answered it.From her end of the conversation,I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill.When she hung up,she quicklycrawled(爬)under her covers,sobbing.Obviously,that was something she should not go through alone.All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly,I collected the pencils,took back the books,made my bed,cleaned the socks and swept the floor,even on her side.I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up.She was watching,her tears dried and her expression was such disbelief.Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine.I looked up into her eyes.She smiled at me,“Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year.We didn’t always agree,but we learned the key to living together:giving in, cleaning up and holding on.25.What made Kate so angry one evening?A.She couldn’t find her books.B.She heard the author shouting loud.C.She got the news that her grandma was ill.D.She saw the author's shoes beneath her bed.26.The author tidied up the room most probably because_____.A.she was scared by Kate’s angerB.she hated herself for being so messyC.she wanted to show her careD.she was asked by Kate to do so27.How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A.By analyzing causes.B.By showing differences.C.By describing a process.D.By following time order.28.What might be the best title for the story?A.My Friend Kate B. Hard Work Pays OffC. How to be OrganizedD. Learning to be RoommatesCWashoe, a female chimpanzee (黑猩猩) believed to be the first non-human to acquire human language, has died of natural causes at the research institute where she was kept.The chimp died on Tuesday night, according to Roger and Deborah Fouts, co-founders of The Chimpanzee and Human Communications Institute in Washington, where she lived.Washoe was born in 1965 in Africa, where she was captured by the Air Force and taken to the US for research use in the space program. In 1966, she left the program and began living with two scientists, Allen and Beatrix Gardner, who led a project to teach the chimp American Sign Language (ASL) in Washoe, Nevada, for which it was named. Washoe had been living on Central Washington University’s Ellensburg Campus since 1980. She had a vocabulary of about 250 words. Also, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimps: Tatu, 31, Loulis, 29, and Dar, 31Primate (灵长类) researcher Jane Goodall, in Fouts’ book Next of Kin, noted the importance of the work with Washoe. “Roger, through his ongoing conversations with Washoe and her extended family, has opened a window into a chimpanzee’s mind,” Goodall said.Though previous efforts to teach chimps spoken languages had failed, the researchers believed there was a better chance using signs. But Washoe’s language skills were disputed by scientists who believed that language is unique to humans. Among those who doubted that chimps could use language were linguist (语言学家) Noam Chomsky and Harvard scientist Steven Pinker. They believed primates simply learn to perform certain acts in order to receive rewards, and do not acquire true language. 29.As for its first task, Washoe was involved with _______.A.some space researchB.a study on African animalsC.an ASL projectD.the program of training the Air Force30.In Goodall’s opinion, teaching Washoe ASL ______.A.was not successfulB.led to the book Next of KinC.won honor for FoutsD.made a difference31.In the last paragraph, the underlined word “disputed” probably means “______”.A.supported B. studiedC.questioned D. discussed32.What can be inferred from the passage?A.The ASL project was first set up in Africa for the study on Washoe.B.Washoe may communicate with other chimps by signing.C.Washoe must have been able to speak 250 words or so.D.The researchers will prove that most chimps could use language.DA 2-mile-wide tornado tore through the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore on Monday,killing at least 51 people including 20 children,destroying entire tracts of homes and trapping two dozen school children beneath rubble.Rescue teams raced against the setting sun and worked into the darkness in search of survivors as the dangerous storm system threatened several southern Plains states with more twisters.The Oklahoma medical examiner confirmed 51 deaths including 20 children,making it the deadliest U.S.tornado since one killed 161 people in Joplin,Missouri.Area hospitals reported at least 230 people injured,including at least 45 children.Emergency crews searched the rubble of Plaza Towers Elementary School to look for two dozen missing children,Oklahoma Lieutenant Governor Todd Lamb said.The school took a direct hit from the tornado,Lamb told CNN.Police and fire crews pulled some school children from the devastation,a KFOR television reporter said from the scene.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center provided the town with a warning 16 minutes before the tornado touched down at 3:01 p.m.local time(4:01 p.m.EDT),which is greater than the average eight to ten minutes of warning,said Keli Pirtle,a spokeswoman for the center in Norman,Oklahoma.The U.S.Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)imposed a temporary flightrestriction that allowed only relief aircraft in the area,saying it was at the request of local police who wanted quiet to search for buried survivors.Oklahoma activated the National Guard,and the U.S.Federal Emergency Management Agency activated teams to support recovery operations and coordinate responses for multiple agencies.Briarwood Elementary School,which also stood in the storm's path,was all but destroyed.On_the_first_floor,sections_of_walls_had_been_peeled_away,affording_clear_views_into_the_building,while in other areas,cars hurled by the storm winds were lodged in the walls.While the school was a wreck,nearby playground clear equipment stood undamaged,though littered with rubble.Across the street,people picked through the remains of their homes,looking for any possessions they might salvage.The number of injured as reported by several hospitals rose rapidly throughout the afternoon.33.From this passage we can infer that .A.this tornado is the most serious in history in the USAB.this tornado led to 20 school children deaths in OklahomaC.this tornado isn't the deadliest one in history in the USAD.this tornado hit entire tracts of homes and schools badly34.What does the author want to show us in the 6th paragraph?A.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center didn't provide the exact time for people.B.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center had warned people of the tornado ahead of time.C.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center should warn people of the tornado ahead of eight to ten minutes.D.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center had warned people of the tornado at 3:01 p.m.35.Why did the FAA impose a temporary flight restriction in Oklahoma?A.The weather there was not suitable for flight.B.The flights weren't allowed to pass over Oklahoma.C.People wanted quiet to search for buried survivors.D.The injured wanted quiet to have a good rest in hospitals.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。

Conclusion第五部分书面表达One possible version:For most people, it is a natural reaction to help if they see an old man fall down to the ground. But now things are different.As can be seen from the cartoon, Father Christmas falls over and is lying on the ground. People crowd around, watching, but no one gives a helping hand. It seems that there is no way for Father Christmas to deliver his Christmas gifts.This cartoon is full of humor and satire. It reflects a social phenomenon that when the elderly fall, no one dares to help. This is partly because people are afraid they would be blamed for the accident if the elderly were injured. But it is mainly because of the total indifference to other people’s suffering. Such behavior is out of tune with our harmonious society.As far as I’m concerned, helping those people in trouble is the bottom line of our public morality, which should be advocated. More importantly, efforts should be made to protect the benefits of those who provide help. Only in this way can we be sure that, on one hand, the injured people receive timely aid and on the other hand, warm-hearted people never suffer from loss.(174words)1。

The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized (把……归类) as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.Say a store clerk fails to charge us foran item. If we keep silent,and profit from the clerk’s mistake,we would drive home with a sense of sneaky (暗中的) excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand,if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item,the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.Then,what is it to do with our sense of happiness?In the first case,where we don’t tell the clerk,a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process,we would lose some peace of mind and self?respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted,since we advertise our dishonor by telling ourfamily and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast,bringing_the_error_to_the__clerk’s__attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store,we feel honorable and our self?respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable actions we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start,once it’s started,it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind,which is important for our happiness.to the passage,the positive action inthe example contributes to our________.?respect rewardsability relationshipauthor thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to________.underlined phrase “bringing the error to the clerk’s attention” means________.the truth to the clerkadvice to the clerkthe clerk to be more attentivethe clerk of the charged itemswill we feel if we let the clerk know the mistake?’ll be very excited.’ll feel unfortunate.’ll have a sense of honor.’ll feel sorry for the clerk.of the following can be the best title of this passage?to Live Truthfullyof Peacefulnessof Gaining Self?respectthrough Honorable ActionsB(2013·济宁高考模拟)A euphemism (from the Greek words eu—well and pheme—speak) is a word or ex pression that is used when people want to find a polite or less direct way of talking about difficult or embarrassing topics like death or the bodily functions. Most people,for example,would find it very difficult to say in plain language that they have arranged for their sick old dog to be killed. They would soften the pain by saying:We had Ruby put down or We had Ruby put to sleep. Many people prefer to call someone plain than ugly,or cuddly rather than fat.Euphemisms are an important part ofevery language,but it seems that English has an ever?growing number of them. The non?native speaker not only has to make sense of the euphemisms he hears,he also has to learn which euphemisms are appropriate in any particular situation. He might be aware that his American friend needs to use the toilet when she asks where the bathroom (or restroom,or comfort station) is,but he is less likely to guess that his English friend has the same need when he says he has to see a man about a dog. He might have learned,for example,that in the family way is a euphemism for pregnant. If,however,he says to his boss,“Congratulations! I hear your wife is in the family way,” he would be using an ex pression that is too familiar for the circumstances.Schools are full of euphemisms. At Frankfurt International School,for example,the special lessons given tostudents who are having difficulties in their school subjects are called Study Center (in the middle school) and Academic Workshop (in the high school).Teachers rightly do not want to upset students or parents by being too frank or straightforward,and usually choose a softer word or ex pression to convey the same message.to the passage,people use euphemisms in order to________.themselves understoodembarrassmentsound straightforwardattentionperson who is described as plain and cuddly is in fact________.and handsome and slimbut tall and fatan English lady says she has to see a man about a dog,she might want to________.her old dog killed an ugly friendto the toilet a pregnant womanmain purpose of Paragraph 2 is to________.that euphemisms are an important part of every languagereaders that English has an ever?growing number of euphemismsnon?native speakers use euphemisms as often as possibleEnglish learners to be careful about the meaning and use of euphemismsFrankfurt International School,the students who receive lessons in Study Center________.poor grades in the subjects well in schoolhard at their lessons to learn more答案及解析一.单项填空1.解析:考查情景交际。

Sherrard had passion for carpentry(木工) and showed promise at a very young age. “I first got interested in wood -making when I was in Grade 10,”he says. “I had taken wood shop before but it never became a hobby of mine until my school started to get hard wood into the shop classes.”“I real ized how much fun woodworking was and took all the wood-shop classes I could and started spending time in the shop after school,”he says. “I got a summer job working with my uncle and used most of the money I made to buy woodworking tools and quickly turn ed my dad’s little shop into my own woodworking shop.” His skills and knowledge were sharpened and tested in the woodworking program.All this went a long way in preparing him for full-time employment and taught him what to expect when he started working.“The biggest challenge to secure a good job with my training and skill set would be to keep up with all the different products and new designs,” he says. “I have only been in the industry for a few years but even my boss , who has been doing this for many years, is still learning new things all the time.”Sherrard’s passion for his skill has brought him this far but his thirst for learning keepspushing him further. He’s already planning to go back to school to study engineering.61. What can we know about WorldSkills Competition?A. It provides professional training.B. It is a top event for skilled youth.C.

Work together with his uncle.CDo you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off and on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity. A sensor will detect the presence of a human ( and, with luck, ignore the dog!) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, isolate (切断) them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade. It will also call the police if the sensors should detect an intruder (不速之客). This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using your personal card — the one you use for shopping — maybe using a number known only to you.It will be impossible to lose the key, and a housebreaker will have to tamper (拨弄) with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040 “entertainment” will mean much more. For one thing, you will be able to take part actively, rather than just wat ching…66. The author intends to tell us that ________.A. in 2040 we will live without the lights and heatersB. in 2040 we will use much more lights and heatersC. in 2040 lights and heaters will be on and off automaticallyD. in 2040 there will be no switches of lights and heaters67. Which of the following statement is NOT true?A. You can be taken for an intruder if you tamper with the lock or with a window.B. The sensor will detect fire and make an emergency call.C. Without a computer, the sensor can not do much.D. The sensor is multi-functional.68. According to the author, in 2040, new technology _______ .A. will turn everything into sensorsB. will free us from the keys we use todayC. will make the lock out of dateD. will remove all crimes69. Thanks to computers, in 2040 people ________.A. will have no entertainment outsideB. will replace TV with computersC. will be controlled by computersD. will have more fun at home70.

The old lady and her husband are homeless, wandering in Shenzhen. Every evening, she sits near Shenzhen University, selling her paintings. When hungry, she just eats some dry food. Usually she can only finish two paintings a night, for either of which she charges 10 yuan. Tough as life is , the old lady has her pride and refuses to beg money from others.The old lady’s optimistic attitude towards life has left a deep impression on me. In addition, She would rather make a living by working hard than be a beggar. Her story puts me to shame, for I always complain about everything and has a habit of depending on others.I have learned the spirit of independence from the old lady. Besides, when faced with difficulties, I will choose never to give up and make the greatest efforts.听力读稿Text 1W: What is that you are listening? It is too noisy.

APeople believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skills of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms (体育馆). Here, people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.How do people climb the wall? To climb, you need special shoes and a harness (保护带) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes (绳索) tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet hig h, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the next piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult part is to control your fear. It’s normal for human s to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe.

To many people the cause is obvious (明显的): they eat too much. But scientific evidence (证据) does little to support this idea. Going back to America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn’t watch television.Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people don’t eat more on average than thinner people. A 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers showed that fat people eat less than slim (苗条的) people.Studies also show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University found the following interesting facts:The more the man ran, the greater loss of the body fat.The more they ran, the greater increase in food intake.Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat. 29.Nowadays many Americans have the problem that ______.A. they are too slimB. they work too hardC. they are too fatD. they lose too much body fat30.According to the passage, how many people in 900 Americans have a “weight problem”?A. 150.B. 300.C. 600.D. 270.31.Is there any scientific evidence to support the idea that eating too much is the cause of a “weight problem”?A.

Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries. Unique works of this kind are different from today’s popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because “the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,” the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.33.In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that _____.A. history gives art works special appeal to set them apartB. great works of art can go beyond national boundariesC. popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great artsD. great artists are skilled at combining various cultures34.According to Hume, some works of art can exist for centuries because_____.A. they are results of scientific studyB. they establish some general principles of artC. they appeal to unchanging features of human natureD. they are created by the world’s greatest artists35.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A.
