We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into the Third World War. She is always talking about my lack of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doc tor. And much to her disappointment(失望), I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English, she nearly had a heart attack.“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship(奖学金) and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to say except that I simply can’t be like Mr. P erfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I am the type of the person w ho loves to help out in the community(社区), writes until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to a chieve a career because of loving it, not because of fame or money.I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise(养育) me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves t he house around 6:30 am and usually comes back around 5 p m or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that by becomin g a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.31. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?A. The writer’s studiesB. wars around the worldC. Dinner plansD. the writer’s future job32.

He wants to be like his mother’s co-worker’s son.B. he wants to find a job as his mother expects.C. He wants to do something he really likes in the futureD.

We can know from the last paragraph that _______.A. the writer’s mother works very hard for the familyB. the writer doesn’t know what his future will be likeC. the writer doesn’t think being a doctor is goodD. the writer sometimes thinks his mother’s advice is very goo d.35.

AOne day a heavy storm hit a village. Nothing was destroyed , but a rock fell from a nearby mountain. The rock rolled down from the mountain and stopped in t he middle of the main road in the village. It was very big and s haped more or less like a ball. The villagedecided to move it since it was blocking（阻塞）the street. Several of the strongest men in the village came to try to lift it out of the road. No matter how hard they tried thou gh, they couldn’t move it.All of this time a young boy was watching the men trying to move th e rock. “Excuse me,” he said, “but I think I could move the roc k.”“You?” they shouted. “What are you talking about? All of ushave just tried, and even together we can’t move it a bit.” The y all laughed at the boy.The next morning some villagers came into the street. To th eir great surprise, the rock was gone! More people ran out to see for themselves. It was true the rock wasn’t in the road any more.The little boy stood in the street, smiling. “I told you I could move it,” he said. “I did it last night.” Then he walked over to w here the rock had been and uncovered some dirt with a shove l（铁锹）．“You see,” he said, “I dug a deep hole next to the rock, and the rock rolled down into the hole of itself.

I loved pleasing him, and he was always proud of my success. If I won a spelling contest at school, he was on top of the world. Later in life whenever I go t a promotion(提升), I’d call my father right away and he’d rush out to tell all hi s friends. In 1970, when I was named president of the Ford M otor Company, I don’t know which of us was more excited.Like many native Italians, my parents were very open with the ir feelings and their love not only at home, but also in public.

He was the first person in Allentown to buy a motorcycle. Unfortu nately, my father and his motorcycle didn’t get along too well. He fell off it so often that he got rid of it just a month after buyi ng it. As a result, he never again trusted any vehicle with less than four wheels.Because of that motorcycle, I wasn’t allowed to have a bicycle when I was growing up. Whenever I wanted to ride a bike, I h ad to borrow one from a friend. On the other hand, my father l et me drive a car as soon as I turned sixteen.5.

Wind is one of our clea nest and richest power sources (来源), as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmil ls (风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh cent ury BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s , when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. W hen electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by th e1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all a reas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned abo ut the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned t o produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of c oal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscover ed, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global mo vement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.From the text we know that windmills ________.A. were invented by European armiesB. used to supply power to radio in remote areasC. have a history of more than 2,800 yearsD. have rarely been used since electricity was discoveredWhat was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century? _______A. Producing electricityB. Sailing a boat.C. Grinding wheat into flour.D. Pumping water from un dergroundOne of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is tha t_________.A. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needsB. it is one of the oldest power sourcesC. it was cheaper to create energy from windD. wind power is cleanerWhat would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?______A. The advantages of wind power.B. The global trend towards producing power from wind.C. The worldwide movement to save energy.D. The design of wind power plants.DI fell in love with England because it was quaint（古雅）---all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mi nd after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town no w.Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentl emen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unf ortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good ma nners---people shut doors heavily to your face and politeness is disap pearing.I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. Y ou’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to re staurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has t o be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a wo man. The cafes are not terribly nice.As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb（大量的钱）on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p. m. Iused to use it, but now I’m afraid.The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typicall y French. In Middle sex I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His f amily only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for C hristmas once because he was always alone.13. The writer doesn’t like London because she______.A. prefers to live in an old-fashioned houseB. has lived there for seventeen yearsC. is not used to the life there nowD. has to be polite to everyone she meets there14. Where do people usually meet their friends in England? _ _____.A. In a cafe.B. In a restaurantC. In a pub.D.In a nigh t club15.

Some 105,000 dogs were rounde d up by local government last year because they had been ab andoned, many of them shortly after the festival season.The main reason given by owners for handing their dogs over to the Dogs Trust is that the dogs need more attention than th ey can give; behavioral problems and moving home are also reasons given.But Eleanor Silk, the Trust’s communications director, says, “I t’s often four or five months after Christmas, in early summer, when owners find that the dog has got too big and too active, or it hasn’t been trained properly and has caused damage aro und the home.”In any case, some organizations that help pets are quick to po int out that if you are serious about getting a puppy(小狗) as a pet, Christmas is not the time to do it. Puppies need t o get used to their new surroundings, to be introduced to a ro utine, and to be looked after like small children. It’s hard to me et any of these needs at Christmas. What’s more, pulling a pu ppy out of a Christmas stocking in itself sends the wrong mes sage to children. It encourages children to think of the puppy as a toy, rather than a responsibility.Appreciating what you’re taking on with a dog can be a seriou s realization. “For life” means thinking about the effect they’ll h ave on your life. It also infers you will need to care for the dog for its whole life.1.What would be the best title for the passage?A. Dogs and Cats—the Most Popular Christmas Gifts.B.

Others have smart d esigns. An example of the second type of house won the Awa rd of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects.Located on the shore of Sullivan’s Island off the coast of Sout h Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one damaged by Hu rricane Hugo years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck Sou th Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,0 00 homes in the state.Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina’s s horeline were poorly constructed, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. Now all new shoreline houses are req uired to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivan’s Island sh ould be strong enough not to be damaged by a Category 3 hu rricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometres per hour.At first sight, the house on Sullivan’s Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it look like “a large party lanter n” at night. But looks can be deceiving. The house’s wooden f rame is strengthened with long steel rods(杆) to give it extra st rength.To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff rais ed it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings(木桩) buried deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. T hey also raise the house above storm waves. The pilings allo w the waves to run under the house instead of running into it. “The waves of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front build ings,” said Huff.Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed(隐藏) by the house’s ground-to-roof shell. “The shell masks the pilings so that the house does n’t look like it’s standing with its legs pulled up,” said Huff. In t he event of storm, the shell should break apart and let the wa ves rush under the house, the architect explained.12. After Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along South Carol ina’s shore line are required to .A. be easily pulled downB. look smarter in designC. meet stricter building standardsD. be designed to be c ube-shaped13. The award-winning beach house is quite strong because .A. it is strengthened by steel rodsB. it is made of redw oodC. it is in the shape of a shellD. it is built with timber and concrete14.

It can be inferred from the passage that the house’s shell should be .A. smoothB. waterproofC. easily broken apartD. extre mely hard（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。
