For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they can’t help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths:I’ll never lose weight – I come from a fat familyWrong! While we can’t change the body type we are born with, we can’t blame our genes for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habit of eating too much and exercise too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowlyWrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism (新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat. Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.Exercise is boringWrong! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that’s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swiping, set yourself a distance or time challenge.No pain, no gainWrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If they don’t, rest and seek medical advice.56. What does the author think about being fat?A. It is the family genes that make people fat.B. People are fat because they consume too little energy.C. A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.D. It is the consequence of people’s unbalanced lifestyle.57. According to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting?A. By taking varied exercise.B. By choosing simple exercise.C. By doing regular exercise.D. By sticking to outdoor exercise.58. What is the author’s opinion about “No pain, no gain” in exercising?A. Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience.B. Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.C. Pain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal.D. Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.59 . What is the purpose of the passage?A. To declare the importance of keeping fit.B. To clarify some misconceptions about fatness and exercise.C. To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit.D. To explain some medical facts about being fat and doingexercise.(B)Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient (便利的) way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two-thirds of the world’s population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive (=continue to live). Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man’s needs.The list of riches of the sea yet to be deve loped by man’s technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations (探险) have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined (开采).Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish (贝类动物) is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental people.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents (水流) and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.Technology is enabling man to explore (勘探) ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2000 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.60. The major things that the sea offers man are ______.A. fish and oilB. minerals and oilC. warm temperature and ocean currentsD. the food, energy sources, and minerals61. The sea serves the needs of man because ______.A. in provides man with foodB. it offers oil to manC. it supplies man with mineralsD. all of the above62. We can conclude from this passage that ______.A. the sea resources have largely been used upB. the sea, in the broad sense, has not yet been developedC. the problems that prevent us from using the food, minerals, and energysources of the sea have already been solved.D. by the year 2000 , the technology will be good enough to exploit all the sea resources63. The underlined words Oriental people in the fourth paragraph probably mean ______.A. the people in AsiaB. African peopleC. European peopleD. American people64. The best title for this passage is ______.A. Sea HarvestB. Sea FoodC. Technology for Exploiting the SeaD. Man and the Sea第II卷I.

№103054 高一年级英语学科阅读理解练习(7)高一()班姓名____________ 备课组长宋德生期中复习A‚How can I learn English well?‛ This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, you’ve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says you’re a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you’ll find it not half so hard as you might have thought. Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English.Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation.56.In the writer’s opinion, the most effective way in learning English is ________.A.to practise speaking, writing and feeling itB.to forget your own native languageC.to translate everything into his own languageD.to memorize the English words and grammatical rules57. ‚Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way.‛This sentencemeans that memorizing your own language can ________.A.help you to study English wellB.stop you mastering EnglishC.make English easy to learnD.help you notice mistakes58.Equally important is to feel the language. ‚to feel the language‛ here means________.A.to get a knowledge of English by touchingB. to be able to read and write EnglishC.to translate English into your own by imaginingD.to be able to experience the rich sensation of the languageBWhen we can see well, we do not think about our eyes often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.When night falls, colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can not see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.59.We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until ________.A. we think about our eyesB. we cannot see clearlyC. we wear glassesD. we have to do much reading60.According to the passage, a ________ is more likely to be nearsighted.A.tailorB. doctorC. guardD.painter61.People who are farsighted ________ .A.cannot do a lot of close work without glassesB.can only see things that are very close to their eyesC.have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm’s lengthD.have the same problem as the nearsighted people62.To see a small thing at night, it is better to look ________ .A.with wide open eyesB.with half shut or narrowed eyesC.straight at itD.in a slightly different directionCTrees are useful to man in three important ways: they give him wood and other useful things, they give him cool places, and they help to stop drought and flood.Unluckily, in many parts of the world, man has not found that the third of these points is the most important. Man wants to make money from trees,so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil-make the rain in-and also bind the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floodsand carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.63.The most important points of trees to man is ________.A.they help him to make moneyB.they give him coolC.they give him wood and other thingsD.they help him to stop drought and floods64.In many places forests slowly disappear because ________ .A.many trees have been cut down by manB.new trees are not well looked afterC.man has not paid enough attention to planting treesD.all the abovend becomes desert after all trees are cut down because ________ .A. roots of trees break up the soilB. there are too many rainfallsC. strong winds bring a lot of sandD. there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.66.Which title best fits the passage?A.Trees and ManB.The Function of Tree WoodC.How do People do with Trees?D.The Usage of Tree RootsDLaptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to ‚speak‛ with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under thetrees-anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology , laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As oneWestlake teacher said, ‚ Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.‛67.The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to ________.e for their schoolworkB.access the InternetC.work at homeD.connect them to libraries68.Why is the word ‚speak‛ in the second paragraph in quotation marks(引号)?A.They don’t really talk.B.They use the computer language.ptops have speakers.D.None of the above reasons is correct.69.Which of the following is true about Westlake College?A. All teachers use computers.B.1500 students have laptops.C.It is an old college in America.D.Students there can do everything.70. A window on the world in the last paragraph means that students can ________.A.attend lectures on information technologyB.travel around the worldC.get information from around the worldD.have free laptops71.What can we infer from the passage?A.The program is successful.B.The program is not workable.C.The program is too expensive.D.We don’t know the result yet.ELet children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things: they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine(常规) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know.72.According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by ________.A.listening to skilled people’s adviceB.asking older people many questionsC.making mistakes and having them correctedD.doing what other people do73.Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do?A.Give children correct answers.B.Allow children to make mistakes.C.Point out children’s mistakes to them.D.Let children mark their own work.74.According to the writer, teachers in school should ________.A.allow children to learn from each otherB.point out children’s mistakes whenever foundC.give children more book knowledgeD.correct children’s mistakes as soon as possible75.The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are ________.A.different from learning other skillsB.the same as learning skillsC.more important than other skillsD.not really important skills№103055 高一年级英语学科阅读理解练习(8)高一()班姓名____________ 备课组长宋德生期中复习AThis March is a busy month in Shanghai.

From the text we may learn that Kamura is _______.A. a cookB. a waitressC. an instructorD. an artistBSince we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful (有压力的) conditions. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting (转移注意力) us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support money aid, material resources, and needed services - that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.59. Interpersonal relationships are important because they can ________A. make people live more easilyB. smooth away daily problemsC. deal with life changesD. cure types of illnesses60. The researches show that people's physical and mental health _______A. lies in the social medical care systems which support themB. has much to do with the amount of support they get from othersC. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troublesD. is related to their courage for dealing with major life changes61.

Effects of stressful condition.CMany people are interested in family history, an area of study called genealogy (家谱学). Most genealogy experts have heard about the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Library claims to have the largest collection of genealogical records in the world. Shirley Griffith has more about this unusual research center.The Family History Library has many records to help people search for information about their family histories. It has birth, marriage and death records from religious groups and governments. The collection includes official population, court and property records. It also includes burial records, ship passenger lists and published family histories.The Family History Library has information from almost every area of the world. Most records are from 1550 through 1920. These records include the names of more than two thousand million people who have died. The library has few records of living persons.The Family History Library is operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The church has been gathering family history records around the world for more than one hundred years. The group urges (催促) its members to study the lives of early family members as a religious requirement.The Family History Library is open to the public every day except Sunday and some holidays. Visitors are invited to use its books and other materials. Library officials say it is one of the most popular places for visitors in Utah. About two thousand four hundred people use the library each day.Individuals, families and private groups have given some of their records to the library. The library bought other records from governments. All the information is gathered with the approval (批准) of governments or officials who supervise (监督) the records.The library copies many records to a kind of film that can be read with special equipment. It is known as microfilm. The collection is always expanding. Today, Church representatives are making copies of important records around the world.Many people find it difficult to travel to Utah to use the Family History Library. So, the Church has set up more than three thousand Family History Centers in seventy-five countries around the world.64. It is less likely that you can get _________ from the Family History Library.A. dates of some people's birthsB. names of some people who died at seaC. records of certain judges or some lawsD. information about certain persons alive65. Normally how many visitors does the library in Utah receive in a week?A. 2,400.B. 3,000.C. 14,400.D. 16,800.66. The text is mainly about ________A.the history of genealogyB. the study of family historyC.the Family History LibraryD. the Church of Jesus ChristDFred Michel is one of 7.2 million Americans who moonlight, or hold more than one job.Once a week, after his day job as medical director of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist (精神病大夫) heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center.Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held second jobs, according to the US Labor Department, and that looks set to increase this year.Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausamn, the writer of "Moonlighting: 148 Great Ways to Make Money to the Side."The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US moonlighters in 1997 took a second job to meet household expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some special things.People also take second jobs with an eye to the future - wanting to try out a new field or gain experience.Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable (不稳定的). He wanted to make sure he wasn't tied to one system that ended up failing.Just as the purposes for moonlighting vary, the moonlighters cross all age and racial groups. And they work in a variety of industries - no longer just service, office and sale jobs.‚Technology just affects your ability to make money,‛ Hausman says. "That makes a frequent change in moonlighting."As its name means, moonlighting still occurs mostly at night. And that results in some pressures. Chief among them is time.Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some companies do not allow after-hour work because they fear it will affect their employees' 9-to-5 performance."The primary employer is saying, ‘Wait, I'm paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,’‛ says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. "If you' re burning yourself at both ends, it's going to show."Still, the good done to the moonlighters can be great. Besides extra income, moonlighters enjoy variety, freedom and chance to do something new. They also may find their part-time jobs strengthen what they do full time.Besides, "it's fun," Michel says. Not only do his part-time jobs offer a chance to network, stretch his professional skills and make more money, but they also give him the variety he wouldn't find just in a full-time job."It' s a way of pulling from the spice cabinet" he says, "and offering a little variety throughout the day."67. What is the article mainly about?A. The ways of moonlighting.B. The reasons for moonlighting.C. The problems with moonlighting.D. The kinds of people who moonlight.68. The reason why Fred Michel began to moonlight is that ________.A. he found it exciting to do a part-time jobB. he needed to make ends meet with more moneyC. he feared he would lose his present job one dayD. he felt more and more pressure from his employer69. Some companies don't allow their workers to moonlight because they are afraid ________.A. their workers can not do extra-hour work for themB. their workers will be too tired to try their best at workC. their workers will one day turn to some other different jobsD. their workers will not get to work and be off work on time70. The underlined sentence "It's a way of pulling from the spice cabinet."in the last paragraph means _________.A. moonlighting gets you away from the job you don' t enjoyB. moonlighting offers you freedom to make extra moneyC. moonlighting strengthens your professional skillsD. moonlighting brings you chances to do something differentE"I've changed my mind. I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my daddy back." Lucien Lawrence' s letter to Father Christmas written after his schoolteacher father had been knifed to death outside his school gate, must have touched every heart. Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn't see the stars in the sky. When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while.But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart.I find that my parents, long dead now, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and I' m still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself, that I couldn't wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all Mother said was "I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!" I haven' t forgotten. The values of my parents still live on.It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors (挑衅者),and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas? It's a serious thought, one to give me pause.I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet "Deliver my soul from the sword (剑), and my darling from the power of the dog." Yet I know the death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I'm sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.71. According to the whole text we can see that the first paragraph _________.A. puts forward the subject of the textB. shows the author's pity on the kidC. acts as an introduction to the discussionD. makes a clear statement of the author's views72. In the second paragraph the author mainly wants to explain to us _________.A. how much he misses his parents nowB. why his parents often appear in his dreamC. when Lucien will get over all his sadnessD. how proud he was when he succeeded in life73. What feeling did the author's mother express in her reply?A. Proud.B. Happy.C. Disappointed.D. Worried74.

What does the writer mean by the sentence taken from an old poem?A. Call on criminals and murderers to lay down their guns.B. Advise parents stay with their children safely at home.C.

It was a hot, humid summer day. I had just 41 the local gas station to fill my tank. After pumping the gas, I started to walk inside to pay. That is when I 42 them. Two elderly women were standing back from their car. There was a mixture of shock and 43 on their faces. I looked and saw it: five wasps (黄蜂) building a nest around their gas cap. My eyes 44 . I shared the ladies’ fear.Wasps had never been 45 of mine. Several times they had attacked me while I was cutting grass, giving me multiple stings each time I 46 them. Mom would have to run a cold 47 and put me in it to 48 the pain and itching. She would next give me medicine to fight all the 49 in my body from the attacks.50 , I knew I had to do something. I reached into my back pocket for a paper towel, tore out the 51 and stepped on it while the 52 wasps buzzed around me. The ladies thanked me, and I smiled, feeling warm within.In this life, you can’t let the fear of being stung either physically or emotionally keep you from doing what is 53 .

I 42 to be a volunteer at Yeda Hospital, one of the biggest and busiest hospitals in our city. Fortunately, I was accepted! Joy 43 over me.At around 7:30am, all the volunteers gathered. I was overwhelmed with excitement as I entered the hospital. We were 44 by the hospital staff, and I was chosen to be in charge of self-service 45 machines, which are designed for people to buy medicine and instantly pay their hospital bills.V olunteering from 7:30am until 8:30am in the hospital made me very 46 . However, most of the people in the hospital had worried faces, and I seldom 47 a smile. It was disappointing, but I tried to understand. They might have been 48 taking care of patients. I just concentrated on my 49 task, helping plenty of people---especially the older ones who were not used to advanced technology. As time went by, I felt 50 and bored. Suddenly, my friend and I noticed a foreigner standing next to the 51 . I offered to help with my big smile, and all of a sudden, the foreigner thanked me. At first, I couldn’t understand why my smile was such a big 52 to her until I learned that her husband had been in hospital for quite some time. She said that my smile lit up the hospital and 53 gave her a ray of hope, particularly to patients like her husband. I smiled and told her that everything would be fine. She was teary-eyed as she went back. I didn’t expect that a 54 smile could have such magical power.That moment really touched me.

In many ways, 2018 had proven a 42 year. My teenage daughter had left home for university, my job of 23 years was no more, and a creative project I’d given my all to for years had also been 43 called off. I also found out a person who I’d thought was a friend was 44 it.A year earlier, I’d dreamt about an earthquake. In the dream, a red light flashed inside a building and then the earth began to 45 . Walls collapsed and pieces of brick rained down on me as I ran into the open, feeling 46 for the people I hadn’t loved enough. 47 I was buried completely by the falling world, I stretched out my hands and 48 , “Abuelo, ayudame,” in my native Spanish. “Grandfather, help me!”Now, with the very real aftershocks of a number of 49 endings, I walked into a little flower shop to buy a gift for a friend. The gentleman at the checkout looked at me and 50 for a moment, returning with a fragrant flower. “For you. You need to smile today,” he said in ame the flower with eyes full of care. It took all my strength not to 52 tears. Then he 53 me in a grandfatherly hug that made me want to tell him everything. 54 , I just thanked him and headed for the train. How did he know? I wondered.

So she started an organization and called it Washed Ashore: 41to Save the Sea.Here’s how it works: Volunteers help clean up Oregon’s 300 miles of 42 . Then, 43 only plastics from the beach cleanup, Ms. Pozzi and her staff and volunteers create sculptures of sea animals.In the sculptures, viewers can see what each piece was 44 it became part of the artwork. They know that every bit--comb, plastic boot, bottle cap, bottle or 45 --was found on a beach.Plastics, unlike wood, cotton, and other 46 materials, don’t 47 into anything useful to other living things. 48 , they stay for years in the oceans. Some sea animals eat plastic objects that look like food. Others are 49 in plastic nets or packaging.Ms. Pozzi says, “I want to create sculptures that make people take a look and think, ‘ 50 come there can be this much trash on the beach?’ 51 , the Washed Ashore sculptures will make people 52 their plastic purchases and be aware of how much they should pay for them in the end.”Surprisingly, one of the Washed Ashore’s sculptures, Turtle Ocean, received a 53 honor. It was 54 at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. Ms. Pozzi says, “Until we run out of 55 on the beach, the work will continue.”41. A. Work B.

One day, we were travelling to a village for 41 when we had a(n) 42 . So, there we were—a family of three—stranded.43 , there were several restaurants where I sought help. I 44 a middle-aged Muslim man in plain pyjamas passing by and explained my 45 to him. He said he knew of a 46 centre close by, and then gently added, “Ask your family to wait here. The roads are not safe.” My anxiety 47 , but we had no choice.He noticed that our 9-year-old daughter couldn’t walk, and called a woman from a food stall to help. Sensing my fear at leaving them alone, he quickly 48 , “I can go and get the flat tyre fixed.” I tried to pay him for the 49 but he only said, “We can figure it out later.”After waiting for what felt like hours, I wondered if he would 50 return. What if it was all a trick? The woman who helped earlier 51 us, “Don’t worry. He’ll be back soon.” But her words were of little 52 . Two hours later, with midnight approaching, we finally heard the sound of a bike. “The shop is 53 fifteen kilometres away. We didn’t tell you, because that would have increased your 54 ,” said the man. He then put the wheel 55 . I took out a 500-rupee note to pay him for his pains, but he refused.“Thank you, brother,” was all I could say. Choked with gratitude, I didn’t even remember to ask his name.41.

It is found not just in humans but is 41 among many other types of creatures.It is well known the mother bears are fiercely 42 of their young and can easily attack any43 human being. About 20 years ago, a homeless 44 drew international headlines. In Argentina a man was walking on a 45 night when he heard the cries of a baby.

Each age has its pleasures and its pains,and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age give him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents,he is fed,looked after and loved,whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more,life is always giving new things to the child things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known,but a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do;he is repeatedly being told not to do something,or being punished for what he has wrongly done.When a young man starts to earn his own living,he can no longer expect others to pay for his food,his clothes,and his room,but has to work if he wants to live comfortably,lf he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child,he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents,he may go to prison. If,however,he works hard,keeps out of trouble and has good health,he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.1.

Eleven workers were killed in three accidents at illegally-run coal mines last year.Closure of the mines is beneficial (有益的) to the protection of ancient cultural sites.

I got there a little early, so I 41 my car by a small park, and 42 for her.As I looked outside the car window, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running 43 on the grass as his mother 44 from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been 45 free from some sort of prison. The boy would then fall to the grass, 46 up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, 47 nothing had happened .At that moment, I thought to myself, “Why aren’t most adults this way?” Most adults, when th ey fall down, make a big deal out of it and don’t even make a second 48 . They would be so 49 that they would not try again 50 someone saw them fall. Or because they fall , they would find a good 51 for themselves that they’re not fit for it . T hey would end up too afraid to attempt again 52 failure.However, with kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure. Instead, they treat it as a 53 experience. They try again and again until they 54 . The 55 mus t be that they have not connected “falling down” with the word “failure”. As a 56 , they don’t lose any confidence. 57 , they probably think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not 58 to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make 59 , so they remain energetic.I was deeply 60 by the boy’s persistence (坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did.41.A. left B. stopped C. repaired D. drove42.A. waited B. cared C. prepared D. looked43.A. carefully B. anxiously C. freely D. easily44.A. surveyed B. noticed C. watched D. supported45.A. cut B. set C. kept D. found46.A. get B. hold C. end D. pick47.A. because B. when C. though D. as though48.A. noise B. attempt C. practice D. choice49.A. confused B. delighted C. surprised D. embarrassed50.A. even if B. if C. as if D. though51.A. cause B. sign C. excuse D. chance52.A. because of B. as a result of C. for fear of D. in case53.A. running B. learning C. teaching D. falling54.A. progress B. improve C. achieve D. succeed55.A. story B. answer C. reason D. key56.A. decision B. result C. cause D. matter57.A.

I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances(环境)don’t come into play because they d o. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical(可行的). And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable(难以忍受的)pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction(入迷), and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee(保证)you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.1. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.A. the meaning of successB. the reasons for successC. the standards of successD. the importance of success2. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “that” refers to ______.A. being good at somethingB. succeeding in lifeC. setting a practical goalD. putting in more time3. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.A. work makes one feel painB. it takes a lot of time to succeedC. one tends to enjoy his workD. one gives up his work easily4. What is the main theme of the passage?A. Having a goal is vital to success.B. Being good is different from being great.C. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.D. One cannot succeed without time and practice.BWhen we can see well, w e don’t think about our eyes very often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing, reading and sewing, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.People who are farsighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty r eading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts(白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.When night falls, colors become fainter( 模糊的)to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the sides of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you can see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can’t see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive( 敏感的) in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.5. We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until.A. we think about our eyesB. we cannot see clearlyC. we wear glassesD. we have to do much reading6. According to the passage, a _________ is more likely to be nearsighted than the average person.A. tailorB. doctorC. guardD. driver7. Those who suffer from cataracts _________.A. will become blindB. can’t be curedC. may be curedD. must move to other places8. People who are farsighted _________.A. cannot do a lot of close work without glassesB. can only see things that are very close to their eyesC. have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm’s lengthD. have the same problem as the nearsighted people9. To see a small thing at night, it is better to look _________.A. with wide open eyesB. with half-shut or narrow eyesC. straight at itD. in a slightly different directionCRecently I spoke to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated, and what kind of job prospects they thought they had.Given that I teach students who are trained to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”.“What kind of help is that?” I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.“Surgery(外科手术)”, one replied.I was pretty alarmed by that response.It seems that thegraduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job.One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height.“They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows.You can get at least 5 cm taller!”At that point, I was shocked.I am short.I can’t deny that, but I don’t think I would put myself through months of pain just to be a few centimeters taller.I don’t even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as I’m not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality.No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm(标准).Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost.In my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.10.We can know from the passage that the author works as ________.A.a professor B.a model C.a teacher D.a reporter 11.Many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery to ________.A.marry a better man/womanB.become a modelC.get an advantage over others in job-huntingD.attract more admirers12.What was the author’s reaction towards the girl’s decision?A.Excited.B.Surprised.C.Happy.D.Angry.13.According to the passage, the author believes that ________.A.everyone should pursue perfection, whatever the costB.it’s right for graduates to ask for oth ers to help them out in hunting for jobsC.media are to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgeryD.it is one’s appearance instead of skills that really matters in one’s career14.What does the author think of his height?A.He hates to be called a short man.B.He tries to increase his height through surgery.C.He always wears shoes with thick soles to hide the fact.D.He just accepts it as it is.。

(A)The plan: turn Mars into a blue world with streams and green fields,and then fill it with creatures (生物) from the earth. This idea maysound like something from a science fiction (科幻小说), but it is actually being taken seriously by many researchers.This suggeste d future for the ―red planet‖ will be the main topicfor discussion at an international conference hosted by NASA (美国宇航局) this week. Leading researchers as well asscience fiction writers will attend the event. It comes as NASA ispreparing a multi billio n dollar Mars research programme. ―Turning Mars into a little earth has long been a topic in science fiction,‖said Dr Michael Meyer, NASA‘s senior scientist for astrobiology (太空生物学). ―Now, with scientists exploring the reality, we can ask whatare the rea l possibilities of changing Mars.‖ Most scientists agree that Mars could be turned into a little earth,although much time and money would be needed to achieve this goal.But many experts are shocked by the idea. ―We are destroying ourown world at an unbelievable speed and now we are talking about ruininganother planet,‖ said Paul Murdin, of the Institute of Astronomy,Cambridge, UK. Over the past months, scientists have become increasinglyconfident they will find Martian life forms. Europe and America‘s robotexplorers have found proof that water, mixed with soil, exists in largeamounts on the planet.In addition, two different groups of scientists announced on March28 that they had found signs of methane (甲烷) in the Martian atmosphere (大气). The gas is a waste product of livingcreatures and could be produced by microbes (微生物) living in thered planet‘s soil.But scientists such as Dr Lisa Pratt, a biologist at IndianaUniversity, say that these microbes will be put in danger by the littleearth pr oject. ―Before we have even discovered if there is life on Mars,we are talking about carrying out projects that would destroy all thesenative life forms, all the strange microbes that we hope to find buriedin the soil,‖ said Dr Pratt. This view is share d by Monica Grady, a planetary scientist at the Natural History Museum, London. ―We cannot risk starting a global experiment that would wipe out the preciousinformation we are looking for.‖ shesaid,―This is just wrong.‖ 56.The passage is about _____________ .A.a plan turning Mars into a little earthB.the necessity ofchanging Mars C.Mars supporting life D.finding water in the Mars57.Which of the following is NOT the reason why some scientists areagainst the plan?

In winter it couldbe very nasty because of strong winds and sea spray. In fact, when agale was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent gustmight break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them.Also, the salt spray from the sea put an end to many of thecolourful plants Norah planted in her garden. She tried putting up afence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the topand then down the other side, so in the end she filled the garden withtrees and bushes that liked salt.But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden verymuch. At weekends she could sit our of doors in the sun, looking at thebeautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and shecould very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim.Now, Norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations. Inthe summer lots of them used to come to enjoy the beautiful place, andin the end it really became quite annoying for Norah and her husband.When they were at home, they found friends and relations arriving,expecting to be given unlimited drinks and meals, and to sit in the sunfor hours, talking as if Norah and her husband had nothing else to dobut entertain and listen to them.This went on for several years. Norah did not wish to appear rude byrefusing to let her friends and relations in, but on the other hand, shewas getting tired every summer.Then one day Norah was complaining about this to her hairdresserwhile she was doing her hair. ―You‘re disturbed by too many uninvited guests, are you?‖said the hairdresser. ―Why don‘t you try my way of escaping?‖ ―What‘s that?‖ asked Norah.―Well,‖ the hairdresser answered, ―when the bell rings, I put onmy coat and take my shopping bag. If it‘s someone I don‘t want to see, I say innocently, ?I‘m sorry, but I‘ve got to go out.‘ But...‖ 64.The underlined word ―cycle‖ can be replaced by____________ .A.ride by bikeB.driveC.walkD.go by ship65.We can infer that_________________.A.a lot of friends came to visit them in winterB.few friends came to visit them in winterC.friends came to visit them only for drinks and mealsD.Norah was a good cook66.Which of the following is the best title?A.A Good Place of Enjoying the SeaB.A Warm-hearted CoupleC.A Clever Way of EscapingD.A Visit to Norah67.What is the hairdresser likely to continue to say in the end?A.If I am tired, I say, ―Sorry, can you come next time?‖ B.If it‘s someone I like to see, I say, ―How lucky!

These are a few of recently recognized featuresof email, say experts, that should cause individual and organizations torethink the way they use email.―Email has increased the spread of careless writing habits, ‖says Naomi Baron, a professor oflinguistics at American University. She says the poor spelling,grammar, punctuation(标点符号)and sentence structure of emails reflect a growing unconcern to theway we write.Baron argues that we should not forgive and forget the poor writingoften sh own in emails. ― The more we use email and its tastelesswriting, the more it becomes the normal way of writing,‖ the professor says.Others say that despite its poor prose(文字), email has finishedwhat several generations ofEnglish teachers couldn‘t: it has made writing fashionable again.―Email is a critical new communication technology,‖ says Ian Lancashire, a University of Toronto professor of English.―It fills the gap between spoken language and the formal methods of writing thatexisted before emai l. It is the purest form of written speech.‖ Lancashire says email has the mysterious ability to get people whoare scared by writing to get their thoughts flowing easily onto a blank screen. He says this is because of email‘s close similarity to speech.―It‘s like a circle of four or five people around acampfire,‖ he says.Still, he accepts that this new found freedom to express themselvesoften gets people intotrouble.―Almost everyday I get emails that apologies of previous emails,‖ he reports.In the US, the number of emails sent in a day exceeds(超过) the number of letters mailed in ayear. But more people are recognizing the content of a typical email message is not often exact. 68.The passages mainly shows us that_______________.A.people should stop using email to communicateB.experts holddifferent opinions about email C.Americans only use email to communicate D.email makes people lose interest in English 69.In Lancashire‘s opinion, email is a wonderful technology because_______________.A.it can be used all over the worldB.it is the fastest way tocommunicate C.we can express ourselves in a free way D.we can save a lot of paper70.Which of the following is NOT true about email?A.It is changing the way of communication.B.It is used more thanletters in the US. C.It helps us write better. D.It causes us to writemore.71.Writer discusses Email by _____________in this passage.A.giving examplesB.giving others' remarksing argumentsD.objective description(E)Happy birthday!Do birthdays really make people happy? Of course theydo. Birthdays celebrate the day we were born. Besides, that extra candleon the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity (成熟)— or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we‘re getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle(奇迹) of growth in others,as well. Forinstance,seeing our children develop and learn new things makes usfeel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is awonderful process(过程). But growi ng old? That‘s adifferent story.Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented(以年轻人为中心) Americanculture. Most Americans like to look young,act young and feel young.As the old saying goes,―You‘re as young as you feel.‖ Older peo ple joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in somecountries value the aged as a source of experience andwisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or atleast ―young at heart.‖ Many older America ns find the ―golden years‖ to be anything but golden. Economically,―senior citizens‖ often struggle just to get by. Retirement(退休) at age 65 brings a sharp decreasein personal income. Social security(安全) benefits usually cannotmake up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition(营养), medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination.In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older personandwandered city streets. She was often treated rudely — even cheated and robbed. However,dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast.Why? People are livinglonger. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged ―baby boomers‖ are rapidly entering the groups of the elderly. America maysoon be a place where wrinkles(皱纹) are ―in‖. Marketing experts are already noticing this growing group of consumers.72.Growing up is a wonderful thing because ___________.A.people can celebrate their birthdaysB.people can become more mature and wiserC.people can receive many presentsD.people will feel younger at heart73.We can infer from the second paragraph that ____________.A.young people lack experience and wisdomB.American older people often joke about their old ageC.American culture is very youngD.different countries have different opinions on the old age74.The underlined sentence (in Paragraph 3) means―_____.‖ A.The golden years can make the old earn lots of money and receivegood medical care B.The old people in America are leading a hard lifewithout good nutrition, medical care or housingC.The old in America have to retire at the age of 65D.American social security benefits are not good75.From the last paragraph we know tha t the underlined word ―in‖ can be replaced by _____.A.seriousB.badC.disappearing slowlyD.growing fast书面表达(满分25分)目前中学生抽烟现象十分普遍,请根据下面提示用英语写—篇新闻报道,呼吁中学生停止吸烟。
