In recent years, many writers have beg un to speak the 'decli ne of class' and 'classless society' in Britai n.And in moder n day con sumer society every one is con sidered to be middle class.But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of publicopinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differe nces. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it rema insan importa nt part of British society. Britai n seems to have a love of stratificati on.One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice, Most people said this acce nt soun ded 'educated' and 'soft'. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional city accents. Theseaccents were seen as "common" and "ugly". However, a similar studyof British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBCEnglish as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards acce nt have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adoptsome regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song 'Common People' puts forward the view that though a middle-class pers on may 'want to live like com mon people' they can n ever appreciate the reality of a work in g-class life. 41. A recent study of public opinion shows that in moder n Brita in ____ . A. it is time to end class distinction B. most people bel ong to middle class C. it is easy to recognize a person' s classD. people rega rd themselves socially differe nt42. The word "stratification" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____ . A. variety B. divisio n C. authority D. qualificati on43. The study in the US showed that BBC En glish was regarded as ____ . A. regi onalB. educatedC. prejudicedD. un attractive44. British attitudes towards acce nt主旨大意 Passage EThe saying that children don ' t like reading any more has been proved untrue. A new studyfinds that 75 perce nt of kids betwee n 5 and 17 say that although they love tech no logy, they still want to read books.The Kids & Family Readi ng Report also says that 62 perce nt of kids prefer read ing prin ted books ratherthan those on a computer. At the same time, those who search an author' s websiteor use the Internet to find books by a particular author, are more likely to read books for fun every day.The study also once aga in proves that the time kids spe nd readi ng books for fun decreases after the age of eight and continues to drop through the teen years. The report is a follow-up to a 2006 study. But this time the focus is on the role of tech no logy and whe n kids ' in terestin readi ng starts to drop.A. have a long traditi on C. are shared by the America ns 45. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The middle class is expa ndingC. Class is a key part of British societyB. are based on regi onal status D. have cha nged in recent years B. A person ' s accent reflects his classD. Each class has unique characteristics.“Despite the fact that after the age of eight more children go online daily than read for fun daily, high frequency Internet users are more likely to read books for fun every day. ” says Heather Carter, a writer of the report.One in four kids betwee n 5 and 17 say they read books for fun every day and more tha n half of kids say they read books for fun at least two to three times a week. One of the key reasons kids say why they don ' t read more often is that they have trouble finding books they like —— a requireme nt that pare nts underestimate. ____The study also finds that pare nts have a strong in flue nee on kids ' readi ng, but only abouthalf of all pare nts begi n readi ng to their kids before their first birthday. The perce nt of childre n who are read to every day drops from 38 perce nt among five-to-eight-year-olds to 23 percent among nine-to-11-year-olds —exactly the same time that kids ' daily reading for funstarts to drop.“Parents ' engagement in their children ' s reading from birth all the way through the teen years can have a great in flue nee on how ofte n their childre n read and how much they enjoy reading ” , adds Carter.46. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. 75 perce nt of kids like surfi ng the Intern et.B. Most kids like readi ng books as well as tech no logy.C. More childre n like to go on li ne in stead of readi ng books.D. Most kids are more likely to read e-books for fun every day.47. It can be in ferred from the passage that ____ .A. no wadays all the kids still like to read booksB. most pare nts begi n readi ng to their kids from their birthC. some kids like to get some in formati on using the InternetD. the study of kids ' reading has been made before48. Pare nts should ____ .A. begin to read books to kids from the age of 8B. read more books to kids as early as possibleC. en courage their kids to read at the age of 11D. help to preve nt the decrease of kids ' readi ng49. What does the underli ned word “ underestimate ” mean?A. evaluateB. ig noreC. un dervalueD. request50. What' s the best title of the passage?A. Do kids still like readingB. Kids ' interest in reading dropsC. New tech no logy on kids ' readingD. Parents ' in flue nee on kids ' readi ng主旨大意Passage FIf there is no difference in general intelligence between boys and girls, what can explain girls ' poor performance in science and mathematics?It seems to be that their treatment at school is a direct cause. Mathematics and scienceare see n as subjects mainly for boys, and therefore, as girls become tee nagers, they are less likely to take them .In terest in gly, both boys and girls ofte n regard the subjects for boys as more difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls do not take mathematics courses, not becausethey are difficult, but for social reasons. Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine （女性的）and attractive.However, if we examine the performanee of boys and girls who have taken mathematics courses, there are still more high-achievi ng boys tha n there are girls. This differe nee appears to be world-wide. Biological explanationshave been offered for this, but there are other explanationstoo.Perhaps the differenee which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlierexperie nces. From their first days in kin dergarte n , boys are en couraged to work on their ownand to complete tasks. Facts show that outsta nding mathematicia ns and scie ntists have not had teachers who supplied an swers.Besides, there can be little doubt that teachers of mathematics and scie nee expect theirboy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students. They even appear to encourage the differe nee betwee n boys and girls. They spe nd more time with the boy stude nts, givi ng them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them. They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion.They also praise boys more frequently. All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in scie nee and mathematics and to give them con fide nee that they are able to succeed.Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many mathematics and scienee courses, nor is it likely to support girls who do. Whenit comes to these subjects it seems certain that school wide ns the differe nee betwee n boys and girls.51. Girls are likely to thi nk that ____ .A. scie nee courses are for both boys and girlsB. scie nee courses make them more popularC. scie nee courses make them successfulD. scie nee courses are difficult for them52. The text mainly discusses _____ reas ons for the differe nee betwee n boys and girls inscie ntific achieveme nts.A. biologi calB. historicalC. socialD. pers onal53. What are boys usually en couraged to do at school?A. To get help with their homework.B. To play the leadi ng role in class.C. To work with girl stude nts in class.D. To lear n to take care of others.54. What does the passage say about great mathematicia ns?A. Their teachers did not supply an swers to them.B. They started lear ning mathematics at an earlier age.C. They showed mathematical abilities in their tee nage years.D. Their success resulted from their strong in terest in mathematics.55.

In Simon’s case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn’t read his own handwriting.22 he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his 23 .So when Simon’s mother entered the room, my palms（手掌心）were sweating. I was completely 24 for her kisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you,” she said, surprising me beyond speech. 25 me, Simon had become a different person.

This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind situational loneliness is a natural result of a particular situation. For example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type chronic（长期的）loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, e.g. friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their popularity.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons; they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.36．How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage? ________A．Talk to friends.B．Just ignore it.C．Go to see a doctor.D．Ask your teachers for guidance.37．“It” in the last sentence of the second paragraph refers to ________.A．temporary lonelinessB．situational lonelinessC．a new placeD．sleeplessness38．The topic of the 4 paragraph is that ________.A．one problem of loneliness is a person’s social contactsB．we depend on various people for different reasonsC．lonely people don’t have many social problemsD．lonely people don’t have many friends39．Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people? ________A．Chronic loneliness can cause family problems.B．Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness.C．Chronic loneliness cannot be overcome.D．A, B, and C are all correct.40.

I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said:“ Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you-there are no fights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said:“ n this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient—please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me. re-routed（改道）me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job, you’re consciously aware than that box you’re got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.29．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph17 ________A．providerB．delivery manC．collectorD．medical doctor30．Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42hours? ________A．He cannot stay away from his job too long.B．The donor can only wait for that long.C．The operation needs that very much.D．The ice won’t l ast any longer.31．Which flight did the woman put Peter on first? ________A．To LondonB．To NewarkC．To ProvidenceD．To WashingtonTest 题材2015 江苏卷_DFreedom and ResponsibilityFreedom’s challenge in the Digital Age is a serious topic. We are facing today a strange new world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it.Some 2,500 years ago Greece discovered freedom. Before that there was no freedom. There were great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhere. Egypt and Babylon were both tyrannies, one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses.In Greece, in Athens（雅典）, a little city in a little country, there were no helpless masses. And Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed, and the unwritten, which must be obeyed if free men live together. They must show each other kindness and pity and the many qualities without which life would be very painful unless one chose to live alone in the desert. The Athenians never thought that a man was free if he could do what he wanted. A man was free if he was self-controlled. To make yourself obey what you approved was freedom. They were saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair. Each one felt responsible for the welfare of Athens, not because it was forced on him from the outside, but because the city was his pride and his safety. The essential belief of the first free government in the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for the state.But discovering freedom is not like discovering computers. It cannot be discovered once for all. If people do not prize it, and work for it, it will go. Constant watch is its price. Athens changed. It was a change that took place without being noticed though it was of the extreme importance, a spiritual change which affected the whole state. It had been the Athenian’s pride and joy to give to their city. That they could get material benefits from her never entered their minds. There had to be a complete change of attitude before they could look at the city as an employer who paid her citizens for doing her work. Now instead of men giving to the state, the state was to give to them. What the people wanted was a government which would provide a comfortable life for them; and with this as the primary object, ideas of freedom and self-reliance and responsibility were neglected to the point of disappearing. Athens was more and more looked on as a cooperative business possessed of great wealth in which all citizens had a right to share.Athens reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom from responsibility. There could be only one result. If men insisted on being free from the burden of self-dependence and responsibility for the common good, they would cease to be free. Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom. It is to be had on no other terms. Athens, the Athens of Ancient Greece, refused responsibility; she reached the end of freedom and was never to have it again.But, “the excellent becomes the permanent”, Aristotle said. Athens lost freedom forever, but freedom was not lost forever for the world. A great American, James Madison, referred to:“ The capacity（能力）of mankind for self-government.” No doubt he had not an idea that he was speaking Greek. Athens was not in the farthest background of his mind, but once man has a great and good idea, it is never completely lost. The Digital Age cannot destroy it. Somehow in this or that man’s thought such an idea lives though unconside red by the world of action. One can never be sure that it is not on the point of breaking out into action only sure that it will do so sometime.65．What does the underlined word “tyrannies” in Paragraph 2 refer to? ________A．Countries where their people need help.B．Powerful states with higher civilization.C．Splendid empires where people enjoy freedom.D．Governments ruled with absolute power.66．People believing in freedom are those who ________.A．regard their life as their own businessB．seek gains as their primary objectC．behave within the laws and value systemsD．treat others with kindness and pity67．What change in attitude took place in Athens? ________A．The Athenians refused to take their responsibility.B．The Athenians no longer took pride in the city.C．The Athenians benefited spiritually from the government.D．The Athenians looked on the government as a business.68．What does the sentence “There could be only one result.” in Paragraph 5 mean? ________A．Athens would continue to be free.B．Athens would cease to have freedom.C．Freedom would come from responsibility.D．Freedom would stop Athens from self-dependence.69．Why does the author refer to Aristotle and Madison? ________A．The author is hopeful about freedom.B．The author is cautious about self-government.C．The author is skeptical of Greek civilization.D．The author is proud of man’s capacity.70．What is the author’s understanding of freedom? ________A．Freedom can be more popular in the digital age.B．Freedom may come to an end in the digital age.C．Freedom should have priority over responsibility.D．Freedom needs to be guaranteed by responsibility.2015 四川卷_CAcross Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers. But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.Mothers have long known that their home worked was just heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as＄172,000 a year.The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income ￡3000 more than the Prime Minister earns.By analysing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week, 40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18, it found that ,on most days, mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm.To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at￡48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jobs”, with psychologist a close second.It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.The study shoes mothers matter all year long and not just on, Mother’s Day. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing（投入）in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.38．How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister? ________A．￡30,000.B．￡142,000.C．￡172,000.D．￡202,000.39．The biggest challenge for most mothers is from _______.A．emotional demandB．low pay for workC．heavy workloadD．lack of training40．What is stressed in the last paragraph? ________A．Mothers’ importance shows in family all year long.B．The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.C．Mothers’ devotion to children can hardly be calculated.D．Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.41．What can we conclude from the study? ________A．Mothers’ working hours should be largely reduced.B．Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.C．Mothers’ labour is of a higher value than it is realised.D．Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.【语法重点运用导练】语法知能运用导练:词性与成分—7—形容词、副词运用辨析2【题组2】形容词1．Cloning human beings is a ______ topic with some considering it a scientific development while others strongly against it.A．controversial B．conventional C．contradictory D．concrete2．The cartoon versions are designed to make Shakespeare to children.A．flexible B．accessible C．portable D．admirable3．Winning a gold medal can transform an athlete from a（n）______ unknown to a national hero.A．native B．relevant C．active D．relative4．There hasn’t been much rain in the area this year.

I have thought long and hard about it and it’s true. I would be a different person if my mom hadn’t turned a silly bicycle accesso ry into a life lesson I carry with me today.My mother and father were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly don’t know how she did it. Managing the family budget must ha ve been a very hard task, but she made it look effortless. If we complained about not having what another kid did, we’d hear something like, “I don’t care what so-and-so got for his birthday, you are not getting a TV in your room a car for your birthday a lavish sweet 16 party.” We had to earn our allowance by doing chores around the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house. Like the two little girls growing up at the White House, we made our own beds(no one left the house until that was done) and picked up after ourselves. We had to keep track of our belongings, and if something was lost, it was not replaced.It was summer and, one day, my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed—and there it was in the window, white, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers, the basket winked at me and I knew—I knew—I had to have it.“It’s beautiful,” my mother said when I pointed it out to her,” What a neat basket.”I tried to hold off at first, I played it cool for a short while. But then I guess I couldn’t stand it any longer: “Mo m, please can I please, please get it? I’ll do extra chores for as long as you say, I’ll do anything, but I need that basket, I love that basket. Please, Mom. Please?”I was desperate.“You know,” she said, gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believe was the coolest thing ever,”If you save up you could buy this yourself.”“By the time I make enough it’ll b e g one!”“Maybe Roger here could hold it for you,” she smiled at Roger, the bike guy.“He can’t hold it for that long, Mom. Someone else will buy it. Please, Mom, Please?”“There might be another way,” she said.And so our paying plan unfolded. My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some hiding place I couldn’t find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing saving increased by extra work here and there(washing the car, helping my mother make dinner, delivering or collecting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front). And then, weeks later, I counted, re-counted and jumped for joy. Oh, happy day! I made it! I finally had the exact amount we’d agreed upon....Days later the unthinkable happened. A neighborhood g irl I’d played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny, new bike that already had all the bells and whistles. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster. This horrible turn of events.And then came the lesson. I’ve taken with me through my life: “Honey, Your basket is extra-special,” Mom said, gently wiping away my hot tears. “Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself.”55．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? ______A．The children enjoyed doing housework B．The author came from s well-off familyC．The mother raised her children in an unusual way D．The children were fond of the US president’s daughters. 56．When the author saw the basket in the window, she ______.A．fell in love with it B．stared at her mother C．recognized it at once D．went up to the bike guy 57．Why did the author say many “please” to her mother? ______A．She longed to do extra work.B．She was eager to have the basket.C．She felt tired after standing too long.D．She wanted to be polite to her mother.58．By using “naked”(Paragraph 12), the author seems to stress that the basket was ______.A．something she could afford B．something important to herC．something impossible to get D．something she could do without59．To the author, it seemed to be a horrible turn of events that ______.A．something spoiled her paying plan B．the basket cost more than she had savedC．a neighborhood girl had bought a new bike D．someone else had got a basket of the same kind 60．What is the life lesson the author learned from her mother? ______A．Save money for a rainy day B．Good advice is beyond all price.C．Earn your bread with your sweat D．God helps those who help themselves话题1学校教育School Life & EducationPassage ABarditch High School decided to have an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for over fifty years, was wheeled to the Park.Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(嘟囔声) when Ms. Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teacherscombined.Then Ms. Yates started to speak:I can’t tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven’t seen man y of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven’t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the births of your children, in my imagination.”Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued:“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and ot hers would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.”“There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.”There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar. Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown. 41．What activity was organized for the school reunion? ______A．Sightseeing in the park.B．A picnic on the school playground.C．Telling stories about past events.D．Graduates’ reports in the old building.42．What can be inferred from Paragraph 2? ______A．Some graduates were too busy to listen to Ms.Yates’ speech.B．Many graduates disliked Ms.Yates’ ways of teaching.C．Some people got tired from the reunion activities.D．Most people had little interest in the reunion.43．We can learn from Ms.Yates’ speech that she______.A．kept track of her students’ progress B．gave her students advice on their careers C．attended her students’ college graduations D．went to her students’ wedding ceremonies 44．What was Ms.Yates’ belief in teaching teenagers? ______A．Teachers’ knowledge is the key to students’ achievements.B．Pressure on students from teachers should be reduced.C．Hard-pushed students are more likely to succeed.D．Students’ respect is the best reward for teachers.45．Which of the following can best describe Ms. Yates? ______A．Reliable and devoted.B．Tough and generous.C．Proud but patient.D．Strict but caring. Passage B（2005北京卷E）Of all systems of symbols, language is the most highly developed. It has been pointed out that human beings,by agreement, can make anything stand for anything. Human beings have agreed, in the course of centuries of mutual(相互的) dependency, to let the various noises that they can produce with their lungs, throats, tongues, teeth, and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous systems. We call that system of agreements language.There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for. Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in.However obvious these facts may appear at first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they seem except when we take special pains to think about the subject. Symbols and the things they stand for are independent of each other, yet we all have a way of feeling as if, and sometimes acting as if, there were necessary connections. For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature; foreigners have such funny names for things, and why can’t they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said: “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals,”they feel that the symbol is inherently(内在地) connected in some way with the things symbolized.72．Language is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings _____.A．have made use of language for centuries B．use our nervous systems to support languageC．have made various noises stand for any events D．can make anything stand for anything by agreement 73．What can we conclude from Paragraph 2? ______A．Different noises may mean different things.B．Our culture determines what a symbol stands for.C．The language we use symbolizes our social positions.D．Our social positions determine the way we are dressed.74．In Paragraph 3, “take special pains” probably means “_____”.A．try very hard B．take our time C．are very unhappy D．feel especially painful 75．The example of the little boy is used to show that _____.A．adults often learn from their youngB．“pig” is a dirty word because pigs are dirtyC．words are not connected with the things they stand forD．people sometimes have wrong ideas about how language worksPassage C （2004重庆卷B）Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious to know what you usually do in a typical week; how you can get along with your fellow students, and so o n. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.First, let’s talk about wha t your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it’s very important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often different from the information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn’t enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections.If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you’ll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than non-science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.59．The main purpose of this text is ______.A．to help the students to learn about university life B．to persuade the students to attend lecturesC．to encourage the students to take part in discussions D．to advise the students to choose proper majors 60．We can learn from the passage that university professors ______.A．spend about 5hours on lectures each week B．must join the students in the discussion sections C．prefer to use textbooks in their lectures D．require the students to read beyond the textbooks 61．A discussion section does NOT include ______.A．working under the guidance of university professorsB．talking over what the students have read about the coursesC．discussing the problems related to the students’ homeworkD．raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture62．According to the author, science majors ______.A．spend less time on their studies than non-science majorsB．consider experiments more important than discussionsC．have to work harder than non-science majorsD．read and write less than non-science majorsPassage DAt first Kate thought the Romanian girl could not speak and understand English. Nadia would not reply to anything Kate said. Kate was in charge of showing Nadia around on her first day at Buckminster Grade School. Kate could not figure out why the school had put Nadia in a class where she could not understand what people were saying.“Why did they do this?” Kate wondered aloud. “I mean, you can’t learn if you can’t understand the teacher.”Nadia’s voice was a whisper. “I understand English. I will learn.” Nadia’s English was perfect.Kate was perplexed. She couldn’t understand why Nadia did not like to speak. Then she realized that moving to a new country probably wasn’t the easiest thing to do. There were hundreds of unfamiliar and unusual things to learn—all at the same time.“There’re a lot of new things to learn, huh?” said Kate.Nadia nodded rapidly. In a quiet voice she replied, “Many things people say, I do not understand. I have been speaking English and Romanian all my life, but I do not know what some children are saying. For example, yesterday a boy asked if I could help him find the USB port on a thin black box he was carrying. Isn’t a port a place for ships? It made no sense to me.”“Don’t worry,” said Kate. “You’ll figure everything out in time. You see, that thin black box was a computer.A USB port is a place where you can connect other machines to a computer.”Nadia and Kate were quiet after that. They took notes while the teacher gave a math lesson. To Kate’s surprise, Nadia put up her hand and offered to answer questions at the blackboard.Nadia handled every question the teacher gave her. Some of the questions were really difficult, and no one understood what was going on except Nadia and the teacher. When the teacher said that Nadia answered everything correctly, the whole class clapped their hands.Nadia was smiling when she sat back down next to Kate. “Some things,” she said in a normal voice, “are the same all over the world.”71．At the beginning of Nadia’s first day at school, she was _____.A．disappointed B．helpful C．lively D．shy72．The underlined word “perplexed” probably means_____.A．puzzled B．angry C．shocked D．serious73．We can infer from the passage that _____.A．Nadia did not like Kate B．Nadia had lived by the sea beforeC．Nadia had never seen a computer before D．Nadia spoke in a soft voice out of politeness 74．Which of the following statements is true? ______A．Nadia was better at math than other students.B．Nadia found some of the math questions difficult.C．Nadia was encouraged to answer questions in class.D．Nadia understood the math teacher better than other teachers.75．What is the message of the story? ______A．Talking about something familiar gives you confidence in communication.B．Answering questions in class makes you better understood by classmates.C．Language plays an important role in communication between cultures.D．Mathematics helps to improve communication between cultures.三、阅读表达阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题.I remember Julie coming to the front of the classroom after class one autumn day in September, 1976. While most of the other students hurriedly left to relax, Julie remained to ask me questions about the next week’s exam.But Julie never made it to the exam. The day after our conversation, she was struck by a car. The doctor said to Julie’s parents, “Your Julie has only a few hours to live. Would you consider donating some of Julie’s organs(器官)?”Julie’s mother said, “Yes. Julie always gave to others while she was alive. She would want to give in death. I want to carry out her wishes to help others.”“Julie died right after her twentieth birthday. She left us with happy memories,” says Julie’s mother, now in her seventies. “Nothing could possibly be as heartbreaking as the death of your child, for your heart breaks again and again. At each birthday. At each milestone(里程碑): when she would have graduated; when she might have married... But Julie’s life was a gift to us. Knowing that in her death she gave the gift of life to others is comforting to us, and remembering that we carried out her wishe s has helped us deal with her death.”Julie’s mother continued to say, “You and Julie’s other friends and teachers were an important part of her life. Your teaching influenced her life, and you remind us that our love for Julie and Julie’s love for others are alive today.”As one of Julie’s professors, I hold the thought that I may have had a small part in teaching Julie how to live. But she—and her family—are still teaching me an even greater lesson—how to die.56．What impression of Julie can we get from the description in Paragraph 1? (no more than 10words) 57．What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 2? (no more than 10words)58．What did Julie’s mother think Julie would want to do?

Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches′ criticisms to heart and find a flaw(缺陷) in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. Positive reinforcement(强化) should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burn out.1．An effective way to prevent the burn out of young athletes is ______.A．to reduce their mental stress B．to increase their sense of successC．to make sports less competitive D．to make sports more challenging2．According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that ______.A．it can help them learn more about societyB．it enables them to find flaws in themselvesC．it can provide them with valuable experiencesD．it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves.3．Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes ______.A．believing that criticism is beneficial for their early developmentB．without realizing criticism may destroy their self-confidenceC．in order to make them remember life’s lessonsD．so as to put more pressure on them4．According to the passage parents and coaches should ______.A．pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsB．help children to win every gameC．train children to cope with(应付) stressD．enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports推理判断Passage BYou are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or a creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as lo ng as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化) your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish(沉溺)in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others—and even themselves—to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime.

Q., a generally bad predictor of success. Instead, it’s purposeful practice. Top performers spend more hours practicingtheir craft. It you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you’d take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability. It wouldn’t have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally shared some similar qualities. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same family background, or shared the same birthday.This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would give her some idea of a fascinating circle that she might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when she was 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fuelling a desperate need for success. Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give her a primary knowledge of her field. She’d be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly understand its inner workings.Then she would practice writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused. By practicing in this way, she delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly learned skills into unconscious, automatically performed skills. By practicing slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream of feedback, viewing her performance from the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problems—how do I get characters into a room—dozens and dozens of times. She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon in order to understand or solve future problems.The primary quality our young write r possesses is not some mysterious genius. It’s the ability to develop a purposeful, laborious and boring practice routine; the latest research takes some of the magic out of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that is often neglected. Public discussion is affected by genetics and what we’re “hard-wired” to do. And it’s true that genes play a role in our capabilities. But the brain is also very plastic. We construct ourselves through behaviour.41．The passage mainly deals with ______.A．the function of I. Q. in cultivating a writerB．the relationship between genius and successC．the decisive factor in making a geniusD．the way of gaining some sense of distinction42．By reading novels and writers’ stories, the girl could ______.A．come to understand the inner structure of writingB．join a fascinating circle of writers somedayC．share with a novelist her likes and dislikesD．learn from the living examples to establish a sense of security43．In the girl’s long painstaking training process, ______.A．her adviser forms a primary challenging force to her success.B．her writing turns into an automatic pattern of performanceC．she acquires the magic of some great achievementD．she comes to realize she is “hard-wired” to write44．Which of the following is close st in meaning to the underlined word “internalize”? ______A．to put something into something else or between two thingsB．to examine something carefully to check that it is correctC．to deal with an emotion or conflict by thinking about itD．to take in a particular idea, attitude, or belief of others45．What can be concluded from the passage? ______A．As to the growth of a genius, I. Q. doesn’t matter, but just his/her effort.B．A responsible adviser is more important than the knowledge of writing.C．What really matters in success is what you do rather than who you are.D．A fueling ambition plays the most leading role in one’s success.【语法重点复习导练】语法技能重点复习导练:句子1*语法应用实题测试221．T he number of smokers, ______ is reported, has dropped by 17percent in just one year.A．it B．which C．what D．as22．Schools should be lively places where individuals are encouraged to ______ to their greatest potential.
