Mr Finch expected to have a quiet life, but in the summer holidays he got a shock. Hundreds of people came to the village. Mr Finch's house was the most interesting building in the village and many people came to see it. From morning till night there were visitors outside the house. They kept looking through windows and many of them even went into Mr Finch's garden. This was too much for Mr Finch. He decided to drive the visitors away. So he put a notice in the window. The notice said: If you want to satisfy your curiosity, come in and look around. Price:two shillings and six pence. Mr Finch was sure that visitors would stop coming, but he was wrong. More and more visitors came and Mr Finch spent every day showing them round his house. “I came here to retire,not to work as a guide.” He said angrily. In the end,he sold the house and bought a small, modern one. It is an uninteresting little place and no one wants to see it. But he could live a quiet life.第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.A(2015·黑龙江哈三中三模) Two new studies suggest that modern running shoes could increase the risk of injuries to runners.One study involved sixty-eight healthy young women and men who ran at least twenty-four kilometers a week. The runners were observed on a treadmill machine (跑步机). Sometimes theywore running shoes. Other times they ran barefoot (赤脚).Researchers from the JKM Technologies Company in Virginia, the University of Virginia and the University of Colorado did the study.They found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees, hips and ankle joints than running barefoot. They observed that the effect was even greater than the effect reported earlier for walking in high heels.The study appeared in the official scientific journal of The American Academy of Physical Medicine.The other study appeared in the journal Nature. It compared runners in the United States and Kenya. The researchers were from Harvard University in Massachusetts, Moi University in Kenya and the University of Glasgow in Scotland.They divided the runners into three groups. One group had always run shoeless. Another group bad always run with shoes. And the third group had changed to shoeless running.Runners who wear shoes usually come down their heel first. That puts great force on the back of the foot. But the study found that barefoot runners generally land on the front or middle of their foot. That way they ease into their landing and avoid striking their heel.Harvard's Daniel Lieberman led the study. He says the way most running shoes are designed may explain why those who wear them land on their heel. The heel of the shoe is bigger and heavier than other parts of the shoe, so it would seem more likely to come down first. Also, the heel generally has thick material under it to soften landings.But the researchers do not suggest that runners immediately start running barefoot. They say it takes some training. And there can be risks, like running when your feet are too cold to feel if you get injured.The study was partly supported by Vibrato, which makes a kind of footwear that it says is like running barefoot. The findings have gotten a lot of attention. But the researchers say there are many problems in the way the press has reported in their paper. So they have tried to explain their findings on a Harvard Website.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文.一项新的研究表明,穿着跑鞋跑步其实对身体并不好,赤脚跑步反而可以在一定程度上避免奔跑带来的损伤.21.What's the main idea of the passage?A.Walking in high heels could cause less serious effects than running barefoot.B.Two new discoveries encourage people to run in high heels.C.Running in shoes is partly good to runners.D.Two new studies prove running without shoes is less risky to runners in most cases.答案:D主旨大意题.第一段“Two new studies suggest that modern runing shoes could increase the risk of injuries to runners.”点出了文章的主题:穿跑鞋跑步会增加受伤的风险.在下文的试验中多次提到赤脚跑步的损伤较小.由此可推断本文的主旨大意是赤脚跑步对运动员来说风险较小.故选D项.22.Which part of our body could be injured if we run in running shoes?A.Toes.B.Hips.C.Feet.

In African countries, the WHO says the number of over-weight or obese children is twice as high as it was 20 years ago. Around the world, about 43 million children under the age of five were over-weight in 2013.Overweight or obese children are more likely to become overweight and obese adults. The condition can generate serious health problems like heart diseases.Francesco Branca is the director of the WHO Department of Nutrition for Health and Development. He says urban lifestyle makes people eat processed food more often, which has a high sugar, fat and salt content. He also says people are gaining weight because of their lack of activities. They travel in cars or other vehicles more than on foot.The WHO experts say to lower obesity rates is especially complex in countries that also deal with high rates of infectious (感染性的) diseases.The WHO has some basic solutions for individuals and countries. The organization says you should lower your intake of fat, sugar, salt and processed food and eat more fruits, vegetables and increase physical activity. The WHO says these actions are especially important for children.And WHO expert Branea says mothers should breastfeed their babies for at least the first six months of life, if possible. More importantly, governments should consider providing vitamins for children and educational campaigns about problems linked to obesity would also help. In his view, government policies should deal with how food is marketed to children and food producers must balance quality and taste with the dangers of sugar fat and salt. “Reducing the number ofover-weight children will not be easy. The goal is difficult to meet even in wealthy countries.” he adds.语篇解读:文章介绍在发展中国家过度肥胖的孩子数量在增加,这会使他们在以后的生活中产生很多问题,文章提出了导致这些问题的原因和解决措施.28.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A.Children in developing countries generally weigh too much.B.Overweight children in developing countries have increased greatly.C.The number of overweight children in the world has doubled.D.The World Health Organization has increased greatly.答案:B主旨大意题.根据第一段第一句可知,本段主要讲述在发展中国家过度肥胖的孩子的数量在增加,选B.29.According to Branca, people are becoming overweight because of their changes in ________.A.lifestyles B.transportationC.physical condition D.school educational答案:A细节理解题.根据文章第三段的两句可知,人们变胖是因为生活方式的改变,选A.30.Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 2?A.cure B.preventC.worsen D.cause答案:D词义猜测题.根据第二段中“The condition can generate serious health problems like heart diseases.(这种情况会导致严重的像心脏病这样的问题)”可知,generate是“导致”的意思,选D.31.According to WHO,which of the following is TRUE?A.Poor nutrition is often related to children obesity.B.To lower infectious disease rates is more complex than to lower obesity rates.C.Eating less sugar and more vegetables helps lower obesity rates.D.Increasing physical activity is most effective to lower obesity rates.答案:C细节理解题.根据文章的第五段的内容可知,少吃糖、多吃蔬菜可以降低肥胖的几率,选C.D(2015·山东莱芜1月摸底考试) On the high-speed train Avignon to Paris, my husband and I landed in the only remaining seats on the train in the middle of a car, directly opposite a Frenchwoman of middle years. It was an extremely uncomfortable arrangement to be looking straight into the eyes of a stranger. My husbandand I pulled out books. The woman produced a large makeup case and made up her face. Except for a lunch break, she continued this activity for the entire three-hour trip. Every once in a while she surveyed the car with a bright-eyed glance,but never once did she catch my eye. My husband and I could have been a blanket wall.I was amused, but some people would have felt uncomfortable, even repulsed (厌恶的). There is something about making up in public that calls up strong emotional reactions. Partly it's a question of hygiene. And it's a matter of degree. Making up—a private act—has a way of neglecting the presence of others. I was once seated at a party with a model-actress who immediately waved a silly brush and began dusting her face at the table, demonstrating that while she was next to me,she was not with me.In fact, I am generally prohibited from making up in public, except when I am in the company of cosmetics moment. In a gathering more professional than social, I would do so.Kathy Peiss, a history professor at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst says that nose-powdering in the office was an occasion for outrage in 1920's and 30's. Deploring (强烈反对) the practice as a waste of company time, trade journals advises managers to discourage it among workers. Peiss theorizes that it was female's making up in what has been an all-male field that disturb some gentlemen.Peiss tells me that after the 30's, pulling out a make-up case was no longer an issue. It became an accepted practice. I asked if she feels free to apply lipstick at a professional lunch herself. Sounding mildly shocked, she says she would save that for the privacy of her car afterward. Why? Because it would be “a gesture of inappropriate feminity(女性化).”One guess is that most professional women feel this way. There is evidence of the popularity of the new lipsticks that remain in place all day without retouching.语篇解读:文章是一篇议论文,作者阐述了在公共场合化妆的弊端.32.According to the author,“My husband and I could have been a blanket wall.” in the first paragraph most probably means“________”.A.We were of no existence in the French woman's eyes.B.We looked at the French woman expressionlessly.C.We were treated with an expressionless face.D.We used books as a wall to avoid the woman's eyes.答案:A词义猜测题.作者和丈夫就坐在这位法国妇女的前面,虽然作者和丈夫一直看着这位法国妇女,但是这位妇女却毫不在意,因此这里是说这位法国妇女无视他们的存在.33.In the author's opinion,she ________.A.feels comfortable when making up in publicB.makes up before any professional gatheringsC.only makes up on social occasionsD.allows public making up on certain occasions答案:D细节理解题.根据文章第三段的“...except when I am in the company of cosmetics moment.In a gathering more professional than social,I would do so”可知,只有在特定的场合,作者才能接受公共场合化妆,答案D项正确.34.According to Peiss, nose-powdering in an office was criticized mainly for the reason that ________.A.normal office work was disturbedB.make dominance was emphasized thereC.it discouraged women's interest in careerD.it distracted make workers' focus on work答案:B细节理解题.根据文章第四段的“...was an occasion for outrage in 1920's and 30's”可知,答案B项正确.35.It can be inferred that in a highly open society, the differences between men and women ________.A.have attracted little attentionB.hinder the social developmentC.still call for great concernD.are attractive topics in talk shows答案:C推理判断题.文章讲述了女性化妆不应该在公共场合,特别是不应该在有男性在场的场合,因此可知作者认为男女之间的区别还是应该注意的.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,选项中有两项为多余选项.Easy Exercises to Do on VacationYou've waited for long,and now here is your vacation.The trouble is:you've been sticking to a fitness program and are worried that all your good work will be destroyed by the desire to eat local food and lazing around on beach chairs.__36__ Schedule 20 to 30 minutes a day,and make use of your hotel room,the grounds and surrounding neighborhood to perform quick and easy exercises while you're on vacation.Stair ExercisesYour hotel can serve as a gym even if it doesn't have e the stairs to exercise while you're on vacation.If your hotel is a highrise,start at the bottom and climb as many floors as you can before using the elevator.__37__WalkTaking a fast walk for 20 to 30 minutes gives you a great way of doing exercise.__38__ In aremote or seaside location,stay on the hotel grounds and walk around the buildings.Always let someone know where you are before you set out.Yoga(瑜伽)Don't want to pack a large,heavy yoga mat on vacation?You can still do yoga.__39__ Then you can perform stretches on carpeted or hardwood floors.If you don't have time to get these accessories,just perform a series of Half Sun Salutations as soon as you wake up.__40__ Just stand tall with your feet together and your arms by your sides.Breathe in and raise your arms to the sky.Breathe out and bend forward from your waist and lay your hands on your ankles.Breathe in and come halfway up with a flat back.Breathe out and fall forward again,and then breathe in and rise all the way up to your original position.A.If your hotel has a balcony,even better.B.Never go out before telling someone about it.C.You don't have to overlook your yoga while on vacation.D.This is where a little intelligence and discipline should come in.E.If you're in an area that's populated,stick to the main streets.F.Get yourself a pair of gloves and socks with a non-slip coating(涂层).G.If you choose to go downstairs on foot,make sure you hold on to the rail for support.答案:36~40DGEFA第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面的短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.(2015·江苏扬州质检) Even though Danish students have equal access to education, their choice of studies is still influenced by social class.

高三文科英语周考(考试时间90分钟满分120分)第一部分听力(略)第二部分阅读理解(共两节;满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AIn the tenth grade, I began volunteering at a veterinary hospital that was run by a family friend in order to get experience for what I thought would be my future job. As it turns out, the experience I gained at the hospital taught me the opposite:That my future was not in veterinary medicine. However, there is one particular Saturday morning that taught me something maybe more important.The hospital was in the middle of one of the poorer sections of the city and we frequently had people come in who just could not pay for the most basic treatments. On this Saturday a man and his young son, who was probably about 7 years old, walked in with a small cat in a cardboard box. I remember the cat had an eye infection(感染) but the man could not afford to pay for the cost of the medicine in addition to the exam. When he asked where the nearest animal shelter was, his son cried and started to argue with his father. Out of the blue, an older woman who was sitting in the waiting room stood up, walked up to the counter, and told the man that she would pay for anything that he could not afford. The man thanked her and the son got to keep a healthy cat.I had always thought it was the right thing to help out a needy person, but only saw people perform acts of kindness on TV or in movies. The woman in the vet’s office taught me that these things do happen in real life, and should happen more often. When I am hesitant to be the first person to help someone who is in need, I remember this woman, and have the courage to do it. Sometimes other people follow.21. Why did the writer work at the veterinary hospitalA. He thought he would work there in the future.B. He wanted to get some skills of treating animals.C. He wanted to get some money for his schooling.D. He wanted to get some experience for his future work.22. What is the most important according to the writerA. How to be a kind person who helps others.B. The practical experience of the vet job.C. How to deal with the owners of petsD. The knowledge of vet medicine23. What does the underlined phrase “Out of the blue” meanA. Out of orderB. All of a suddenC. Now and thenD. First of all24. The example of the woman made the author ________.A. think helping others can be shown on TVB. believe she was once shown in moviesC. think few acts of kindness exist in real lifeD. have the courage to help others activelyBVirginia is set to begin enforcing the toughest drunken-driving punishment, one that will require thousands of first-time offenders—whether they were highly drunk or slightly over the limit – to install(安装)in their cars blood-alcohol testing devices that can lock the ignition(发火装置). The devices work like this-A driver must blow into a blood alcohol device linked to the car’s ignition. If the result is higher than the legal limit, the car will not start. The device also requires random “rolling retests” once the driver is on the road.The measure has caused a debate between groups battling drunken driving and those representing offenders. Such groups as Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the Washington Regional Alcohol Program say that Virginia’s 274 alcohol-related road deaths and more than 5,500 injuries in 2010 remained unacceptably high despite years of cracking down on drunken driving. Ignition interlock devices, they say, reduce repeat offenses. But some public defenders and lawyers argue that the devices are too severe a punishment for offenders at the legal blood alcohol limit of 0.08, and that the court system will be burdened by more cases going to trial and lower-income drivers will be affected by the fees.Del. Sal R. laquinto, who sponsored the bill, had a simple reply for concerns about the costs of the interlock devices: “How much does a life cost?” “Blowing into a tube for six months, you will remember that, ” Iaquinto said, “ and you are not likely to offend again. ”25. The ignition probably refers to the part in a car where ______.A. the alarm goes offB. the car is fueledC. the key is placedD. the engine starts26. Who are required to install the blood-alcohol devices according to the current law?A. The repeat drunken-driving offenders.B. The first time drunken-driving offenders.C. Drivers whose blood alcohol level is below 0.15.D. The drivers who are not able to pay offence fees.27. Some groups support the new law because ______.A. the government can be financed to build roadsB. some traffic deaths and injuries may be avoidedC. lower-income drivers will not afford to drink againD. the court system is forced to work more effectively28. The debate aroused by the measure suggests that ______.A. justice has long armsB. punishment is the key to allC. no law is absolutely perfectD. prevention is better than cureCIn Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections(注射)so that they won’t carry diseases. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of stores. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people’s houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and goand nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.29. The passage mainly talks about ______.A. how to keep diseases from petsB. Canadians have pets as friendsC. how to take good care of petsD. life of the old in Canada30. Pets are given injections in animal hospitals ______.A. in order to keep them safeB. after being taken homeC. because they carry diseasesD. because they are sick31. The word “bird feeder” in the second paragraph probably means ______.A. a person who gives food to birdsB. a container that has food for birdsC. something that catches birdsD. an animal that eats birdsDDoes your school have any problems with discipline? What happens when students step out of line?Here are some examples of bad behaviour:• Playing truant (missing school wi thout permission from parents).• Stealing, smoking, hitting, swearing, running, kissing.• Cheating on exams.• Calling a teacher or another pupil a bad name.• Not doing homework.• Not listening or not paying attention in lessons.• Wearing unsuitable c lothes.Here are some of the ways that UK school children can be punished:• Exclusion: a pupil is asked to leave the school and not come back. The pupil has to find a new school or a different method of education.• Suspension: a pupil cannot enter th e building or attend lessons until the school has a meeting about their situation. Suspension can last from one to 45 days. The pupil is usually given work to do at home with a special teacher.• Detention: a pupil is asked to stay after school and work fo r 30-60 minutes before they can leave.• Lines: a pupil has to write a sentence many times (e.g. 100 or more) on a sheet of paper, e.g. “I must not shout in class.”Freya MacDonald, a 15-year-old pupil from Scotland, made the news when she refused to a ccept her school’s punishment. Her family says that she was given 11 detentions for trivial things such as having fizzy drinks in class and coming into school through a fire door.Freya says that repeated detentions ruined her right to an education under Scottish law and made it difficult for her to learn. So she refused to return until the school respected her civil rights. She wants the headmaster and her teachers to sign a letter to promise this. Hundreds of schools in Scotland were told not to use detention as a punishment because of her legal action.Many UK schools now give parents a home & school contract, explaining their disciplineand rules. Parents must sign this document to agree that they accept the school’s rules and discipline and that they are responsible for their child’s behaviour.32. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To list common bad behavior in UK schools.B. To show how UK schools deal with students’ parents.C. To find out why more and more pupils break rules in UK schools.D. To introduce how UK schools punish students with their discipline.33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Playing truant means using bad language.B. You can wear anything you want in UK schools.C. Exclusion is the most serious punishment in UK schools.D. If suspended, the child will miss schoolwork.34. Given her detentions, what did Freya do?A. She used the law to argue for her civil right.B. She forced the school to respect her civil rights.C. She demanded that her teachers remove the punishment.D. She would never return to the school.35. According to the text, the home & school contract is intended to ________.A. help parents learn more about their child’s performanc e at schoolB. make parents reach agreement with the school rulesC. remind parents to teach their children school rulesD. ask parents to spend more time with their children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人空白处的最佳选项。

A scholarship fund provided his tuition to Catholic High, where he was a great baseball player.Mark struggled in the classroom, though. He was bright, just behind, due to a more than difficult home environment. But there were problems finding the time for all he needed to do. After-school tutoring seemed impossible because of baseball practice. Some suggested Mark abandon sports and concentrate on “schooling”. But, in reality, if he was going to attend college he would need his sports; so to miss practice and then perform any less than at his best on the field was not wise.A fellow teacher, Mrs. Jones, offered to tutor Mark in math at her home. I asked Mark to come to my house for other areas of work. No one paid us. Mrs. Jones summed it up this way:“Pay day doesn’t always come on Mondays.”When we were not working with Mark to improve his skills for the ACT, the coach and Mark’s dad took him to various colleges to talk with both baseball and football program coaches. He settled on the one college that offered him scholarships to play both sports. But he needed a good ACT score.It takes months to receive the results of college entrance exams. One afternoon after school, while I was grading papers in my room, there was a noise outside the door.Mark came in, lifted me out of the seat behind my desk, spun me around in the air, and yelled over and over: “I’m going to college! I’m going to college!”“I guess you got your scores!” I asked.“Well, yeah!” he laughed. “And guess what? I got one point more than I need to be admitted. One point extra. Thank you! Now, where’s Mrs. Jones? I’ve got to tell her too!”Until that moment, I had never quite understood what the expression “Pay day doesn’t always come on Mondays” meant. But it was clear to me the instant Mark ran into the room to announce his news. No amount of money could ever replace my spin in the air at the hands of a boy who finally had a chance at a better life.36. Mark had difficulty in learning mainly because ______.A. He spent most of his spare time practicing baseball.B. His family couldn’t afford any tutoring for him.C. His parent didn’t care about his study.D. He was constantly involved in the crimes in his neighborhood.37. According to the article, which of the following is false?A. The teachers offered to tutor Mark free of charge.B. Theft was a problem in Mark’s neighborhood.C. Mark owed his success in passing ACT to his teachers.D. Mark went to college mainly due to his good ACT score.38. The underlined word “settled on” in the fourth paragraph probably means ________.A. was accepted byB. became familiar withC. paid a visit toD. reached a final decision about39. What is the best title for this passage?A. Practice Makes a Better LifeB. Pay Day Will Come Some DayC. Relationships between Teachers and StudentsD. Never Give up on YourselfB(1)LOS ANGELES—Say it is Mickey Mouse, say it is Goofy, but 65 years after Walt Disney’s death, he is having a successful career as an adviser.(2)Disney’s quotations are not as widely known as those of Benjamin Franklin or Winston Churchill, but Walt is increasingly quoted, especially in business books, where such Disney sayings as “If you can dream it, you can do it” are fast becoming favorites.(3)Never regarded in life as particularly intellectual, Walt is not known to have said anything that sounds like Churchill’s “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma(难解的谜).” But however common the phrasing, Walt’s wit and wisdom are often quoted by today’s business writers.(4)Now, more than 200 of Wa lt’s best sayings have been collected in the book “The Quotable Walt Disney.”(5)The little square book is filled with common sense sayings. Animation, the theme parks,and making your dreams come true are favorite subjects. And because Disney was frequently asked the secret of his success, it is no surprise to read, among Walt’s explanations: “I suppose my formula might be: dream, diversity—and never miss an angle.”(6)Business expert adviser Bill Capodagli of Indianapolis is one of several authors who advis e their readers to use Disney’s principles as a model for how to run a business. Another adviser described the book as “so useful you may whistle while you work.”(7)Those who actually knew Walt do not remember him as being particularly talkative, especially employees who felt his legendary anger. And while he loved to have people with great ability working for him, he had little tolerance for the self-important. As he said: “Whenever I don’t have the answer to something, I find someone who does.”(8)Many businessmen found their favorite quote as “I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing—that was all started by a mouse.”40. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Disney’s key to success was found.B. Business books quote Walt Disney.C. A successful career becomes known.D. Different quotes have different values.41. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Disney published “The Quotable Walt Disney” filled with common sense sayings.B. Benjamin Franklin and Churchill are both better at their quotes than Disney.C. In Disney’s times people did not often use Walt Disney’s quotes.D. It is Bill Capodagli who found Disney’s ability.42. When Disney found people with great ability, he would ____ .A. think they were self-importantB. be tolerant to everything they didC. ask them for answers to problemsD. be dissatisfied and angry with them43. In the 6th paragraph the author mainly wants to talk about ____ .A. the career of the great man, Walt DisneyB. the famous people’s opinion on Disney’s quotesC. the reasons why businessmen like Disney’s quotesD. the value of Disney’s quotesCLondon (Reuters)—— What could annoy teenagers enough to make them stop hanging out with friends and go home?No,it's not a visit from their mothers,and not a threat to take away their cellphones or pocket money.It's high-frequency noise. The UK police recently agreed to use a device called theS onic Teenager Deterrent. It sends out a sound that makes teenagers become so impatientand angry that they have to cover their ears tightly and walk away.The sound is at extreme high-pitch that can be beard by those under 20.The body's natural ability to detect some wave bands decreases almost entirely after 20,so few adultscan hear the sounds. The black-box device,nicknamed the Mosquito because of its sound,can be fixed to the outside walls of shops,offices and homes. It sounds to youngsters like a crazy insect or a badly played violin. But it causes no physical damage.A number of police forces and councils have given permission to use the system and want to install it at trouble spots.Staffordshire Police Inspector Amanda Davies,who has given the device to shopkeepers in the Moorlands area,said,“It is controlled by the shopkeepers—if they can see through their window that there is a problem,they let the device on for a while until the group has run away.”44.The device can be used to ____ .A.threaten teenagers in public B.drive away trouble—makers under 20 C.help mothers control their teenage children D.help the police control shopkeepers 45.From the passage we can know that ____ .A.young people often suffer from pains in ears B.shopkeepers are troubled by noisy insects C.high-frequency noise is beyond the listening ability of people over 20D.the police invented a new device to deal with teenagers46.The purpose of the writer to write the passage is ____ .A.to advertise a new high-tech device B.to tell the reader a piece of newsC.to sell the device to shopkeepers D to inform the public as the spokesman of the police 47.Who will welcome the device most?A.Shopkeepers B.The police C.Young people.D.The producer.DComputer companies keep competing to build smaller devices. They are finding new ways to put data into less space on a memory chip.Computers have been made smaller to fit on to the desktop,smaller again to fit on our laps and again to fit into our shirt pockets.Now,Stuart S. P. Parkin,an IBM researcher,is looking into a new idea an IBM lab. If it proves successful,electronic devices .could hold. 10 to 100 times the data in the same amount of space. That means the iPod that today can hold up to 200 hours of video could store every single TV program broadcast during a week on 120 channels.Parkin thinks he is close to a break through. This could increase the amount of data stored on a chip.At present the flash drives (闪存卡) business is growing quickly. They are used in digital cameras,cell phones and PCs. Flash drives with multiple (多个)memory chips st0re up to 64 gigabytes (十亿字节) Of data. A single chip is expected to reach about 50 gigabytes in the next five years.However,flash memory has a problem. Although it can read data quickly,it is very slow at storing it. That has led the industry on a hunt for new storage technologies.Scientists say Parkin's new computer memory,called racetrack memory (赛道内存),could begin to replace flash memory in three to five years.48. You can find the passage most probably in ____ .A. a tourist guideB. an entertaining newspaperC. a science magazineD. an. advertisement49. According to the passage,which of the statements is true?A. The flash drives will replace the iPod.B. iPod can store up to120 hours of video.C. The memory chip is smaller and smaller in capacity.D. Racetrack memory still needs improving before taking the place of flash memory,50. The best title of the passage is ____ .A. Expanding Memory with Bigger ChipsB. A New TechnologyC. Flash MemoryD. Bigger Memory,Smaller Size51. What will the passage discuss in the following paragraphs?A. Introduce the racetrack memory in detail.B. Introduce the flash memory in detail.C.

She had volunteered to take part in the Lincoln High School Friendship Program. As an upperclassman, she would be assigned a “freshman(新生) friend.” Her duties would include helping her friend get used to high school life by offering friendship. Latrice thought it was important to have someone with whom to talk and share concerns. She knew that the friendship program was likely to make the freshman year of high school a positive experience.

Sure, our parents and grandparents were once teens, but things are so different now. It has never been tougher to be a teenager.It had never been more important to be in the “right group” or to have the “right brand” of shoes. And those are the easy things to deal with. We also face problems with family, friends, relationships and school pressures.When it gets to be too much , I turn to my friends. One friend I could not live without is Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul. Your books have been so inspiring to me and have helped me to deal with and understand the problems I go through.For example, I went through a confusing time with my friends when we got to junior high. I had know these friends since kindergarten, and when we began junior high it seemed like some of them began to change. We started hanging out with different groups, and we slowly grew so far apart that it seemed as if we had never been friends. I felt confused and hurt.Sometime during this period I read the story Friends Forever in Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II. I felt so much better after reading it. It was like a weight had been lifted from me when I realized that many friendships went through changes and that we weren’t the only friends to experience them.People change, but that doesn’t mean we have to lose the friendships we once shared. My friends and I still spend time together when we can and care about each other a lot. That things are different doesn’t mean I have to forget about all the good times we had. I will always keep the memories in a safe place in my heart.Sincerely,Peter36.According to the author, parents and grandparents .A.didn’t have to overcome difficulties when in their teensB.don’t fully understand the pressures of being a teenager nowC.can easily deal with things such as choosing friends and shoesD.don’t need to give help to teenagers with pressures and problems37.The author turns to Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul .A.after he has quarreled with friendsB.before he goes to a new environmentC.when he couldn’t deal with the pressuresD.when he has spare time after school38.Why did the author feel confused and hurt when he got to junior high?A.Because he and his friends weren’t in the same school.B.Because his friends refused to hang out with him.C.Because he was too busy to be with his friends.D.Because he was afraid that he had lost his friends.39.What does the underlined word “them” in Para. 5 refer to?A.Friendships.B.Changes.C.Friends.D.Pressures.40.In the letter the author mainly tells us that .A.people change but friendships always lastB.people will go through many changes in lifeC.changes sometimes cause hurt and confusionD.friendships should be kept with skillsBAmericans like to think of themselves as martyrs (烈士) to work. At this time of the year theyadmire the laziness of their European cousins, particularly the French. Studies show that the average American gets only four weeks of paid leave a year compared with seven for the French and eight for the German. In Paris many shops close down for August; in Washington, where the weather is really hot, they remain open, some for 24 hours a day.But when it comes to the young, the situation is just opposite. American children have it easier than most other children in the world, including the supposedly lazy European children. They have one of the shortest school years anywhere, a mere 180 days compared with an average of 195 for OECD countries and more than 200 for East Asian countries. German children spend 20 more days in school than American ones, and South Koreans over a month more. Over 12 years, a 15-day deficit (赤字) means American children lose out on 180 days of school, equal to an entire year.Americans also divide up their school time strangely. They cram (塞满) the school day into the morning and early afternoon, and close their schools for three months in the summer. The long summer vacation acts like a mental eraser, with the average child reportedly forgetting about a month’s worth of instruction in many subjects and almost three times that in mathematics. American academics have invented a term for this phenomenon, “summer learning loss”. It is leaving American children ill-equipped to compete. They usually perform poorly in international educational tests, coming behind Asian countries that spend less on education but work their children harder. California’s state universities have to send over a third of their classes to take some extra courses in English and math.41.The main purpose of the first paragraph is to tell us ________.A.Americans needn’t be to hard-workingB. Americans have a wrong way of workingC. Americans work too hardD. Americans and Europeans have different working attitudes42. According to the passage, European children ________.A. have more pressure in their studiesB. are usually considered to be lazyC. don’t need to work hard at their lessonsD. are more diligent than American children43. In the writer’s opinion, American children _________.A. are more creative than children from other countriesB. are poorly equipped for the futureC. can benefit much from the long vacationD. don’t make full use of their school time44. During the long summer vacation, American children _________.A. will make up for their lost lessonsB. spend most of the time learningC. probably don’t care about studiesD. will suffer some memory problems45. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The Less Diligent American ChildrenB. The School Education in AmericaC. The Work Attitude of AmericansD. The Summer Holidays in AmericaCIt was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken. In Apple’s case, developers can also obtain the location information for each photo.Senator(参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday.“We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent App le from having access to private info,” Mr. Schumer said. “They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed.”On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission(联邦贸易委员会) asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light. Claudia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further.“It sends shivers up the spine to think that one’s personal photos, address book, and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without consent,” Mr. Schumer wrote in his letter to the F.T.C. “If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion, then surely technology exists to close it, and that’s exactly what must happen.”Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem, then he would be forced to take the issue further.He said other companies had been willing to work with his o ffice to fix issues. “I’m optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation,” he said. “If it’s not changed, then we’ll look the F.T.C., and if that doesn’t work then we’ll look at legislative approach.”The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant(警醒的) in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to privacy.46.The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and Google .A. to discuss whether it is illegal to have access to private information.B. to stop them from developing the technology of taking photos.C. to urge them not to i nvade consumers’ privacy.D. to keep them from obtaining the location information for each photo.47. Which of the following statements is true?A. Privacy invasion from Apple has existed for a long time.B. Privacy invasion from Google has existed for a long time.C. Apple and Google have decided to make a change.D. Mr. Schumer takes the privacy concerns caused by Apple and Google seriously.48. Mr. Schumer’s letter to the F.T.C. mai nly shows that the technology to open the door to privacy invasion .A. causes people to worry about the safety of their personal information .B. can be used if permitted.C. causes personal information to be posted online without permission.D. causes privacy invasion to happen frequently.49.I f the privacy concerns can’t be solved with the help of the F.T.C., .A.The companies will be fined.B. The companies will be closed.C The senators will turn to legislation.D The senators will force the companies not to invade privacy.50.Where can we read about the passage?A.In a science reportB. In a newspaperC. In a magazineD. In a textbook.DA new age is coming.Call it what you will:the service economy,the information age,the knowledge society.It all translates to a fundamental change in the way we work.Already we're partly there,the percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen dramatically in the Western World.Today the majority of jobs in America,Europe and Japan are in the service industry,and the number is on the rise.More women are in the work force than ever before.There are more part-time jobs.More people are self-employed.But the range of the economic transformation can't be measured by numbers alone, because it also is giving rise toimportant new way of thinking about the nature of work itself.Long-held ideas about jobs and careers,the skills needed to succeed,even the relation between individuals and employers—all these are being challenged.We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead.No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention,the chip(芯片),would transform our world thanks to its applications in personal computers,digital communications and factory robots, Tomorrow's achievements in biotechnology,artificial intelligence or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of dramatic changes.But one thing is certain:information and knowledge will become even more valid,and the people who possess it,whether they work in manufacturing or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth.Computer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write.The ability to solve problems by applying information instead of performing routine tasks will be valued above all else.If you you’re your mind ahead 10 years,information service will be superior.It will be the way you do your job.51.A characteristic of the new age mentioned in the passage is that .A.the service industry mainly relics on femalesB.manufacturing industries are steadily increasingC.more people are in the service industry than beforeD.the work in the service industry is more comfortable than that in manufacturing industry 52.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.People's traditional concepts about jobs need changing.B.The relation between employees and employers is becoming tense.C.More women than men are in the work force.D.Part-time jobs are more welcome than full-time jobs.53.By mentioning the invention of“the chip”,the author means to say that .A.we haven't paid enough attention to the importance of high technologyB.the chip is the most important invention todayC.the power of science and technology is beyond our imaginationD.it’s a great challenge to apply new inventions to our life54.We may draw a conclusion from the passage that .A.information will play a greater role in people's work and daily life in the futureB.we can foresee the future if technology develops fast enoughC.the ability of performing routine tasks gives you an advantage in workD.robots will replace people to do all the work both in manufacturing and service industries 55.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A.Communication and Knowledge Industry B.Service Industry in Modern Society C Characteristics of the New Age D.Fast Development of Information Technology第三部分书面表达(共两节,满分45分)第一节阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)阅读短文,根据要求答题。

I don’t even know his name,but I thank him for the lesson he’s taught me.41.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A.the author didn’t like the way the can man collected cansB.making friends at work was not encouragedC.the author drove a very old pickup truck D.aluminum cans could be recycled 42.What’s the possible meaning of the underlined phrase “blurted out” in the last paragraph? A.said suddenly without thinking much B.screamed at somebody in anger C.spoke in a low voice thoughtfully D.shouted to somebody cheerfully 43.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The boss was angry seeing the man picking up cans in his factory.B.The boss thought the can man sold the cans for extra money.C.The boss was worried because he might be short of cans.D.People turned up their collars to protect themselves from cold.44.What lesson does the author learn from the story?A.Never judge a person by his appearance.B.Don’t work in a factory as a blue collar worker.C.Always treat neighbors as family members.D.Kindness is from the bottom of one’s heart.BWhen a consumer finds that something he or she bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to what the producer says for it, the first step is to present the warranty(保单),or any other records that might help, at the store of buying. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain(投诉) directly to the store m anager. In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer’s favour taking it as true that he or she has a just right.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of buying, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly and especially when the consu mer can show clearly what is wrong with what was bought in question. If this can’t be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo(立体音响) does not work.”The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer, if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the expected result, the consumer can go a step further. He or she can threaten(恐吓) to take the seller to court or report the seller to a public organization responsible for protecting consumers’ rights.45.When a consumer finds what he bought has a fault in it, he should first _____. A.complain personally to the manager B.show something provable in written form to the store C.threaten to take the matter to court D.write a firm letter of complaint to the store46.If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem, it’s better to complain to _____.A.a shop assistant B.the producer C.a public organization D.a store manager 47.The most effective complaint about what was bought can be made by ________. A.showing the fault of it to the producer B.saying firmly it is of poor quality C.asking politely to change it D.explaining exactly what is wrong with it 48.The passage tells us _________.A.how to make the complaint have a good effect B.how to settle a consumer’s complaint C.how to avoid buying something wrong D.how to deal with complaints from consumersCPeople who sleep about seven hours a night live the longest, three huge studies have found, the newest out in the February issue of the journal SLEEP. Still, many sleep experts say lots of adults get too little rest, and that can lead to dangerous health problems. In the latest report from Japanese researchers, 104,010 adults were followed for about ten years. At the start, the participants answered questionnaires about their sleep patterns, and about their health, mental health and lifestyle habits, which also can affect survival. After accounting for all of these factors, adults getting an average of seven hours had the lowest death rates. Surprisingly, less sleep, even as little as four hours a night, didn’t significantly increase deaths for men and only loweredsurvival for women if they averaged less than four hours. But adults who slept longer than seven hours,particularly women, were more likely to die during the ten years. Doctors shouldn’t tell all of their patients to get at least eight hours of sleep, he says in an editorial in the journal. Hormonal(荷尔蒙的) changes caused by darkness or other unknown biological effects from long sleep could be affecting survival, Kripke says. But short sleepers may suffer other bad effects.In his brief studies, those sleeping four to five and a half hours did poorly on tests that measure memory, clear thinking and the ability to pay attention, “and they did progressively worse as the week went on,”says David Dinges of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. 49.According to the study, the adult who sleeps ______ hours a night is more likely to die.A.5 B.6 C.7 D.850.Why could long sleep be affecting survival according to the passage?A.Because the darkness in long sleep causes one’s hormonal changes.B.Because long sleep affects one’s appetite.C.Because long sleep causes heart attack. D.Because long sleep makes people feel lonely. 51.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Short sleepers suffer fewer bad effects. B.The more sleep, the better.C.It may be better for some patients to sleep less than 8 hours.D.Women are more likely to die than men.52.According to the study, 7-hour sleepers enjoy the following good effects EXCEPT ______. A.the longest life B.clear thinking C.a good memory D.frequent promotionDThe 115-year-old prestigious Oxford Dictionary will now include popular new Chinese terms like “shanzhai” “youtiao” and “fangnu”, as part of the modern Chinese language.As China plays a more and more important role in the world economy, the Chinese language is forever evolving, attracting more attention from people who want to understand this ancient yet vibrant(充满生气的)language.For instance, the word “shanzhai” is used to descri be the countless knockoffs(名牌仿制品)of iPhones or designer bags imprinted with Louis Vuitton logos.Another new term in the new edition is the word “fangnu”, or a “mortgage (按揭)slave”—a term used to describe the phenomenon in large cities whereby well-educated youth complain of a miserable existence due to the heavy burden of a home mortgage.All these new or often fashionable terms can be found in the new Oxford English-Chinese, Chinese-English dictionary that was unveiled in the recently concluded Beijing International Book Fair last week.The dictionary now is available for retail sales since the beginning of this month.This dictionary is the largest single volume English-Chinese, Chinese-English dictionary and contains 670,000 words and phrases after five years of preparation.Sixty editors from the Oxford University Press and its partner in China—the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press—worked together on the project.According to Julie Kleeman, the dictionary’s chief editor, most of the firm’s edi tors were Chinese, while about one fourth were native-English speakers.“We don’t want to make it florid(绚丽的), we want it to be modern and conversational...many of the words in the present dictionary are no longer in use,” said Kleeman.“The need for studyi ng Chinese by foreigners today is totally different from decades ago...Precise, native and practical—that is our core advantage,” she said.Kleeman said newer publications updates will be available only for the online version as language often changes too quickly for book versions to keep pace.The online version will also offer a Chinese phonetic pronunciation guide.The online version, allowing access via different platforms from the PC to the iPad, will be ready “as soon as possible”, Kleeman said.53.According to Kleeman, one of the features that distinguish Oxford English from other dictionaries is that ________.A.it has a long history of 115 years B.it includes ancient but vibrant language C.it is the largest English dictionary ever publishedD.it offers native, precise and practical language54.According to the above passage, we learn that ________.A.well-educated youth in China’s big cities have difficulty buying housesB.the Oxford University Press made the dictionary without outside aidC.most Chinese editors are also native speakers of EnglishD.knockoffs can be found in China but not very often55.The possible reason why newer publications updates are not available for book versions is that _____.A.the computer network is available everywhereB.book versions can’t keep up with the changes of languageC.book versions can’t offer a Chinese phonetic pronunciation guideD.computer technology like the PC and the iPad keeps pace with language56.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The latest Oxford English-Chinese, Chinese-English Dictionary is on the market.B.New Chinese terms like “shanzhai” and “fangnu” have got into Oxford Dictionary.C.Oxford Dictionary has become more fashionable due to the Chinese language.D.Beijing International Book Fair was where the new Oxford Dictionary was published.EListening to music while you drive can improve your speed and ability to get away from accidents, according to Australian psychologists. But turning your car radio up to full volume could probably make you end up in an accident. The performance of difficult tasks can be influenced if people are subjected to loud noise. The experience of pulling up at traffic lights alongside cars with loud music made some psychologists in the University of Sydney look into whether loud music has something to do with driving.The psychologists invited 60 men and women aged between 20 and 28 as subjects and tested them on almost the same driving tasks under three noise conditions: silence, rock music played at a gentle 55 decibels (分贝), and the same music at 85 decibels.For 10 minutes the subjects sat in front of a screen operating a simple machine like a car.They had to track a moving disk on screen, respond to traffic signals changing color, and brake(刹车)in response to arrows that appeared without warning.On the tracking task, there was no difference in performance under the three noise conditions.But under both the loud and quiet music conditions, the performers “braked”at a red light about50 milliseconds sooner than they did when there was no rock music at all .That could mean a reduction in braking distance of a couple of meters actually, the difference between life and death for a pedestrian(行人).When it came to the arrows that appeared across the visual field, the psychologists found that when the music was quiet, people responded faster to objects in their central field of sight by about50 milliseconds. For the people listening at 85 decibels, response times dropped by a further50 milliseconds—a whole tenth of second faster than those “driving”with no music.“But there’s a trade-off,”the psychologists told the European Congress of Psychology. “They lose the ability to look around the whole situation effectively.”In responding to objects that suddenly appeared, people subjected to 85---decibel rock music were around 100 milliseconds slower than both the other groups. Since some accidents---such as children running into the road---take place without any notice, drivers listening to loud music must be less safe as a result.57. Where did the researchers do the experiment?A. At crossroads.B. At a police traffic station.C. In a crowed street.D. Under the experimental conditions as those of the streets.58. What does the underlined sentence “there’s a trade-off”in paragraph six mean?A. Every coin has two sides.B. Business is business.C. Practice makes perfect.D. A loss may turn out to be a gain.59. Which of the following is NOT true of loud music?A. It helped the performers to brake sooner at red lights.B. It quickened the performers’response to objects in their central field of sightC. It helped the performers to respond faster to objects suddenly stepping in the way.D. It can sometimes do harm to drivers.60. On the whole, which of the following is the best way to make driving safer?A. Loud music.B. Quiet music.C. Silence.D. Heavy metal第二节阅读下列材料,从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中,选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项。

industries,including artists,producers,investors,media people,etc.,providing them with an opportunity for exchange and cooperation.1.When did Coachella Valled Muse and Arts Festival brgin?A.In1983B.In1991C.In1995D.In199412.Which cmphasizc the differe muse studyA.Lollapalooza.B.Bonnaroo Music&Arts FestivalC.South by Southwest.D..Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.3.What do the festivals have in common?A.They are hold in the same state.B.They have international influence.C.They generally last four days.D.They offer some activities for free.BNowadays,more and more companies are beginning to take notice of their employees'mental health.Howe ver、there's still much that could be done.When a woman named Madalyn Parker decided to take a couple of mental health days,she let her team kno w by e-mail.What surprised her was the reaction of her company's CEO,who reached out with a message.The wo man,who goes by the username@madalynrose on X,shared the original e-mail and the response,which dates bac k to2017.“Hey,team,I'm takıng today and tomorrow off to focus on my mental health.Hopefully,I should be bac k next week refreshed and back to100%,”reads her message.Knowing the importance of mental health,Parker has made efforts to speak out clearly about it,hoping to in spire her coworkers to do the same.“I'm specific to be an example.so my team knows that they can feel comfortabl e taking sick leave for mental health,even if they don't say it,”she later added.Many managers would be somewhat hesitant about her choice.But Parker's boss,Ben Congleton,completel y supported her and thanked her for her transparency(透明).“I just wanted to personally thank you for using e-ma ils like this.Every time you do.I use it as a reminder of the importance of using sick days for mental health——I cannot believe it`s not a standard practice at all organizations,”he wrote.“You are an example to us all,and help cu t through the stigma(耻辱)so we can all bring our whole selves to work.”Today,Parker continues her mission to put mental health at the forefront.She is a Senior Engineer working on the Accessibility Insights team at Microsoft,where she builds Open Source tools that make it easier to know if a n app is accessible during development.4.How did Parker feel about the outcome of her e-mail?A.Unexpected.B.Embarrassed.C.Discouraged.D.Confused.5.Why did Parker make her mental health days public?A.To create an example for taking personal days.B.To encourage her team to take physical health days.C.To demonstrate the trust between her and Congleton.D.To normalize the conversation around mental health.6:Which can best describe Congleton?A.Demanding.B.Generous.C.Caring.D.Ambitious.7.What's the author's purpose in writing the text?A.To introduce a supportive boss.B.To share a harmonious relationship.C.To praise a strict and smart woman.D.To stress workplace mental health.CYoung families with children are a shrinking(缩小)part of the US population.The decline is especially pro nounced in major urban cities,including Boston,San Francisco,New York,and so on.Americans aged25to44——the years when people typically start families——are increasingly moving to rural counties and small cities.Actually,besides property tax payments,young families contribute to the economy by spending on housing, groceries,child care,health care,recreation,and education.They help generate stable jobs in sectors such as educ ation,health care,and hospitality.By participating in local events,young families help develop a sense of belongi ng and strengthen cities’social fabric.Neighborhoods with young families tend to have lower crime rates due to p arents'investment in their children's safety and well-being.Why are these families leaving large cities?There're many reasons,including high costs of living and hous ing,quality of education and school systems,and environmental and health factors.But some cities are going against this trend.For example,Austin,Texas,has become a major tech center in recent years,with many companies relocating or expanding there and creating jobs.Austin's relatively low cost of living,strong public school system,and lots of parks and recreational activities make it a destination that's often h ighly rated for families.Raleigh,North Carolina,is another popular draw for young families with children.It offer s a strong job market in technology,health care,and education and affordable housing.Overall,families with children consider many factors in choosing a place to live.Affordable and family-fr iendly housing is usually a top priority.Cities seeking to attract families could prioritize developing affordable sin gle-family homes,townhomes,and apartments with family-friendly features,such as common play spaces.Anoth er priority for attracting and retaining young families is well-funded public schools with excellent teachers,and re sources.Most cities don't have the resources to pursue all of these goals at once.But picking one or two as targets is a good way to move forward.8.What can we learn about young families from paragraph2?A.They form the backbone of cities.B.They like the high quality of city life.C.Big cities are more suitable for them.D.City life is a heavy burden for them.9.Why does the author mention Austin?A.To make a comparison with Raleigh.B.To show its family-friendly features.C.To predict its population shrinkage.D.To explain the importance of big cities.10.What does the author convey in the last paragraph?A.Urban resources are being overused now.B.City construction should be slowed down.C.Young families tend to live in small cities.D.Measures should be taken for young families.11.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Urban Life of Young FamiliesB.Rise of Rural Child-RaisingC.Decline in City Young FamiliesD.family-Friendly City StrategiesDDengue fever is the most common tropical disease in the world.There's currently no commonly available vac cine(疫苗)for adults.It's spread between people by two species of mosquitoes.In2023,some6million cases of dengue fever were reported worldwide—more than ever before.Then,202 4blew that record away.Now,a new study suggests that climate change has likely played a significant role in the expansion of the disease from1995to2014.Over that time period,climate change increased the caseload by roug hly20%across the21countries in the study.But the growth could be contained—not stopped,but at least minim ized——if climate action keeps global temperatures in check.Using climate models and other techniques,the researchers could link the human-driven temperature increase s with increased caseloads.“Understanding how much of the increase in disease can be ascribed to climate can giv e us more confidence in our predictions for how infections are going to respond to future climate changes,”says M arta Shocket,a disease ecologist.The study did not include countries where dengue fever is still rare,a category which includes the US.But the number of cases within US borders has also risen sharply in recent years.In2023,several cases of locally acquired dengue fever were reported for the first time.More were identified this year in Los Angeles County.“When dengu e caseloads are high in the rest of the world,it increases the chances that the disease can make its way into new are as,”says scientist Katharine Walter.“The world is more connected than ever before,and country borders are artifici al,”she says.The study suggests that by2050,the number could rise by60%as more parts of the world enter the mosquito-friendly temperature zone.“A hotter planet contributes to the expansion of the disease—but it is far from the only reason,”says Benny Rice,a disease ecologist.Dengue fever,like other diseases spread by carriers like mosquitoes, is controlled by a wide variety of elements.12.What can we know about dengue fever from the first two paragraphs?A.It has been effectively controlled.B.Climate affects its spread.C It is attractive to mosquitoes.D.Climate action will wipe it out.13.What does the underlined word“ascribed”in paragraph3mean?A.Applied.B.Owed.C.Accustomed.D.Restricted.14.What does Katharine say about the dengue fever outside America?A.It will beat the local one in America.B.It won't agree with America's climate.C.It can't be identified easily in America.D.It will spread across America sooner or later.15.What might the author continue talking about regarding dengue fever?A.Other factors that govern it.B.Other diseases caused by it.C.Public health risks it reveals.D.Its effects on climate in turn.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.Red is a hot color. Americans often use it to express heat. They may say they are red hot about something unfair. When they are red hot they are very angry about something. The small hot tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hots for their color and their fiery taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixieland jazz.Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pick when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.Blue is a cool color. The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music. Blues is slow, sad and soulful. Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a famous song –Mood Indigo –about the deep blue color, indigo. In the words of the song: ―You ain‘t been blue till you‘ve had that Mood Indigo.‖ Someone who is blue is very sad.The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has a sick feeling stomach may say she feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green. Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the color of the back side of the paper money.The color black is used often in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day. The date of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day. A blacklist is illegal now. But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.41.What‘s the passage mainly talked a bout?A.Some American expressions based on colors. B.Colors used in American daily life. C.Different feelings based on different colors. D.Different functions about various colors. 42.―In the pink‖ means ―in good health‖ because.A.the face of healthy people is pink B.pink is lighter kind of red, which stands for blood C.the newly-born babies are all healthy D.m any babies are born with a nice pink color 43.According to Paragraph 3, blue refers to ?A.a famous band B.a pop music form C a well-known recorded D.a beautiful song 44.A person earns a good fame as well as lots of money, so his competitor will probably say . A.I‘m red hot about him B.I‘m in the pinkC.I‘m green with envy D.I have a black day45 According to the passage, which of the following can replace the underlined word? If someone drove after he drank some alcohol, he would get in his blacklist.A.illegal record B.wrong activity C.evil thought D.unpopular organizationBMy grandfather grew up in war-torn Europe. When German soldiers occupied his hometown ,the thriving city of Tarow, Poland, he refused to obey them and eventually joined the Soviet army to fight for his country‘s freedom . ―Stand straight, stand tall,‖ he told himself.After the war, in 1947, he boarded a boat for Manhattan. He was hungry and suffering from seasickness. All alone in a new country, he was frightened about his future .Still, he marched head-on into the hustle and bustle of the streets of New York . Soon he met other European immigrants, each of them trying to find his or her own way .If they could do it, why couldn‘t he? ―Stand straight, stand tall,‖ he would remind himself.Thanks to the help of a loyal and trusting friend, my grandfather gained a jewelry booth on Canal Street, New York City .He once told me how nervous he was on that first day of work. He was not only trying to learn this tough new business, but also a new language.To his surprise, the men in neighboring booths—who could have taken advantage of him—offered their help and advice. Within months, my grandfather was commanding his spot behind the counter, selling diamonds and cultured pearls as if he‘d been doing it his whole life. Stand straight and stand tall.In later years, my grandfather would take both my mother and her sister down the aisle at their weddings. As he stood with each of them, he thought about their new beginnings, and of the adventures and journeys they would experience together .He also thought about the children who would one day carry on his family name.I am so proud to be one of those children. Listening to my grandfather‘s remarkable experiences has changed the way I view my own life.46.Which is the correct order of the things that happened in the passage?a. My grandfather took both my mother and her sister down the aisle at their weddings.b. World War II broke out in Europe.c. My grandfather went to America.d. My grandfather began to run his diamond business.e. The men in neighboring booths helped him.A.b, c, a ,d, e B.b, c,d ,e ,a C.b, c ,e , a ,d D.c, b ,e ,d ,a 47.Which is NOT true according to the passage?A.My grandfather was a soldier during World War II.B.My grandfather went to America by sea.C.My grandfather had been doing a jewelry business his whole life.D.My grandfather ran his business successfully.48.Grandpa probably inspired his grandchildren in time of trouble by saying ―‖.A A friend in need is a friend indeed B.God help those who help themselves C.Stand straight ,stand tall D.Practice makes perfect49.It can be concluded that .A.Grandpa never lost heart in time of hardships B.Grandpa never threw doubt upon his fate C.Grandpa was born to be a businessman D.Grandpa didn‘t live up to his friend‘s expectationsCHe Qiangcheng, 22, a senior and geology major from Sichuan Normal University, has almost given up trying to act like his childhood hero, Lei Feng.―I once tried to help a woman with heavy luggage, and she gave me a suspicious look,‖ he complains. ―Then another time, when I returned a lost dining card to the canteen, the staff askedme to use up the cash on it rath er than bothering to find the owner.‖ But, despite having met with rejections, He still wants to be like his idol. His hero, Lei Feng, was a People‘s Liberation Army soldier who came to represent altruism(无私), modesty and devotion.March 5 marks the 50th year of Lei‘s death. In 1963, Chairman Mao Zedong designated the day as ―Learn From Lei Feng Day‖ and started a national campaign for people to copy his deeds. Several decades after the campaign was initiated, there has been a debate about whether the spirit of Lei lives on, and whether an altruistic role model is relevant anymore in a materialist society. Some think it no longer rings a bell. ―In a world when everyone emphasizes the importance of ‗me‘, many of my peers think there‘s little ground for giving up one‘s interests purely for the sake of others,‖ says Lin Zi‘en, 19, a sophomore English major from South China Normal University in Guangdong.Commentators, however, point out those who regarded Lei‘s spirit as being outdated have misinterpreted its meaning. Yang Haibin, deputy secretary of China Communist Youth League Beijing Committee said, ―Learning from Lei Feng could be a mutually caring and benefiting act, which is the basis of civilized society. And, Lei‘s spirit can be modern and relevant, says Yang. He believes that lending a helping hand for no reward is an early form of volunteering. ―It‘s also about being content with a simple and humble way of life,‖ Yang says.Hu Danhua, 21, an international business major from China University of Political Science and Law, agrees. ―I‘ve gained peace of mind and spiritual fulfillment through small acts of kindness, such as teaching village pupils. I could obtain it from nowhere else,‖ Hu says.50.

Lei‘s spirit is the same as a bell ring.53. Who has a negative attitude towards Lei‘s spirit according to the passage?A. He Qiangcheng.B. Lin Zi‘en.C. Yang Haibin.D. Hu Danhua.DHer opponent was the defending champion whose childhood dream was to win the French Open. She was the underdog who never saw the tournament on TV as a girl in China and never thought she‘d get far on the red clay of the Frenc h Open, one of the four tennis Grand Slams (大满贯).But it was Li Na who fell on her back in triumph(胜利) on June 4. Nearly two hours‘ hitting gave Li a 2-0 victory over Francesca Schiavone of Italy and made her the only tennis player, man or woman, from Asia to take home a Grand Slam title.Chinese media have been swept along by the praise. An editorial carried by Xinhua News Agency said ―Li Na is the best PR (Public Relations) for China,‖ and called her an ―outstanding name card for the country‖ and a ―brilliant diplomat‖. It compared Li to Chinese NBA star Yao Ming, noting that both ―can speak very fluent English, and both of them have a kind of sense of humor that is appreciated by foreigners‖.Success has come late for Li. She once gave up tennis for two years and studied journalism at Wuhan‘s Huazhong University of Science and Technology. But in 2004, she returned andcontinues to play the best tennis she could.―Dream comes true,‖ Li said after the match. ―I am so happy that my efforts have paid off.‖ Li has often been seen as a rebel(叛逆者), or at least a representative of a new generation. She has a tattoo(纹身), has dyed her hair many different colors and has even been known to yell at her husband in public. ―The plain-speaking, tattooed, individualist has the ability to transcend the sport and become a global star‖, the BBC news reported.No matter how important the French Open championship is, Li is not resting on her laurels(桂冠) —she‘s already thinking about winning a second major title. ―When you have the first one, naturally you will think about the second one. Now I have more confidence playing on other surfaces,‖ Li told China Daily, as she prepares for the Wimbledon Championship, which will start on June 20.54. Which year did Li Na begin to study journalism?A. In 2004.B. In 2002.C. In 2006.D. In 2000.55. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. Li Na‘s childhood dream was to win the French OpenB. compared to Yao Ming, Li Na speak more fluent EnglishC. the BBC reported that she has a tattoo, has dyed her hair and yelled at her husband in publicD. Francesca Schiavone was given a 2-0 failure in the Open championship after nearly two hours‘hitting56. According to the passage, we can know that ______.A. after the Open championship, Li Na would become normal but not a rebelB. Li Na can stand for China and become a brilliant diplomatC. Li Na is full of confidence to get a second major titleD. Li Na would pay more attention to her own personality and wouldn‘t yell at her husbandEIn the early days of nuclear power, the United States make money on it. But today opponents (反对者) have so complicated its development that no nuclear plants have been ordered or built here in 12 years.The greatest fear of nuclear power opponents has always been a reactor ―meltdown‖. Today, the chances of a meltdown that would threaten U.S. public health are very little. But to even further reduce the possibility, engineers are testing new reactors that rely not on human judgment to shut them down but on the laws of nature. Now General Electric is already building two advanced reactors in Japan. But don't expect them even on U.S. shores unless things change in Washington. The procedure for licensing nuclear power plants is a bad dream. Any time during, or even after, construction, an objection by any group or individual can bring everything to a stop while the matter is investigated or taken to court. Meanwhile, the builder must add nice–but–not–necessary improvements, some of which force him to knock down walls and start over. In every case when a plant has been opposed, the Nuclear Regulation Commission has ultimately granted a license to construct or operate. But the victory often costs so much that the utility ends up abandoning the plant anyway.A case in point is the Shoreham plant on New York's Long Island. Shoreham was a virtual twin to the Millstone plant in Connecticut, both ordered in the mid-60s. Millstone, completed for $101 million, has been generating electricity for two decades. Shoreham, however, was singled out by antinuclear activists who, by sending in endless protests, drove the cost over $5 billion and delayed its use for many years.Shoreham finally won its operation license. But the plant has never produced a watt power.Governor Mario Cuomo, an opponent of a Shoreham start-up, used his power to force New York‘s public-utilities commission to accept the following settlement: the power company could pass the cost of Shoreham along to its consumers only if it agreed not to operate the plant. Today, a perfectly good facility, capable of servicing hundreds of thousands of homes, sits rusting.57. The author‘s attitude toward the development of nuclear power is ________.A. negativeB. neutralC. positiveD. questioning58. What has made the procedure for licensing nuclear power plants a bad dream?A. The inefficiency of the Nuclear Regulation Commission.B. The enormous cost of construction and operation.C. The length of time it takes to make investigations.D. The objection of the opponents of nuclear power.59. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that ________.A. there are not enough safety measures in the U.S. for running new nuclear power plantsB. it is not technical difficulties that prevent the building of nuclear power plants in the U.S.C. there are already more nuclear power plants than necessary in the U.S.D. the American government won‘t allow Japanese nuclear reactors to be installed in the U.S.60. Governor Mario Cuomo‘s chief intention in proposing the settlement was to ________.A. stop the Shoreham plant from going into operationB. urge the power company to further increase its power supplyC. permit the Shoreham plant to operate under certain conditionsD. help the power company to solve its financial problems第三部分写作(共两节,满分40分)第一节阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面的短文并回答问题,将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(注意问题后的词数要求)。
