the storm,though,was beautiful:blue skies,warm air and a calm,inviting sea touching the shore gently.My father realised it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him.I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same.I’m so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast,but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape.After all， it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea.As we got on board,we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.On approaching them,we saw it was a mother whale with her baby.We couldn’t believe it ——there aren’t any whal es along the coast here.The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badlly polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whale——actually as big as our boal——was obviously stuck and could not move.The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly,making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves.”She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,”my father said.At this point,my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and ,heading the boat towards the baby whale,pushed it gently.With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappared under water.Then it swam up right beside its mum.They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction.We hurried up to the whalesand tried to lead them towards the bay channel.Showly,they let us lead them,some-times rising from the water right beside us to breathe——and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes.Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea,the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half.That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day,Nearly four decades later ,I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.51、The author says “I’m so glad I did .”(in Para.2)because __________.A、be witnessed the whole process of fishingB、he enjoyed the beauty of the calm seaC、he experienced the rescue of the whalesD、he spent the weekend with his family52、The harbour survived the storm owing to____________.A、the shape of the harbourB、the arms of the bayC、the still water in the channelD、the long coast line53、The mother whale failed to help her baby because__________.A、she had stayed in the polluted water for too longB、the whirlpools she had made were not big enoughC、she had no other whales around to turn to for helpD、the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction54.what is the theme of the story?A、Saving lives brings people a sense of happinessB、Fishing provides excitement for childrenC、It’s necessary to live in harmony with animalsD、I t’s vital to protect the environmentBFor many parents , raising a teenager is like fighting a long war ,but years go by without any clear winner 、Like a border conflict between neighboring countries ,the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace ,but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict 、In part ,this is because neither is willing to admit .any responsibility for starting it 、From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness、And of course .the teens see it in exactly the same way , except oppositely 、Both feel trappedIn this article、I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap、The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things 、Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom ,the preferred style of clothing , the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school ,or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends .Second ,blaming.The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong 、Third , needing to be right ,It doesn’t matter what the topic is –politics、The taws of physics ,or the proper way to break an egg –the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong .for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect、Unfortunately , as long as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other ,they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress55、Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?A、Both can continue for generations .B、Both are about where to draw the lineC、Neither has any clear winnerD、Neither can be put to an end56、What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A、The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B、The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflictC、The teens acouse their parents of misleading themD、The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents57.Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________.A、give orders to the otherB、know more than the otherC、gain respect from the otherD.get the other to behave properly58、What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A、Causes for the parent –teen conflictsB、Examples of the parent –teen war、C、Solutions for the parent –teen problemsD、Future of the parent-teen relationshipCThey wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessorise(配饰).Yet these are girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies.A gengration which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favouring the same high street looks worn by those half their age.Professor Julia Twigg, a social policy expert , said ,“W omen over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s .In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter 、It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years — now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to .Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly 、”Professor Twigg analysed family expending（支出）data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same —and 5 or 6 per cent of spending—the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply.The professor said,“Clothes are now 70 per cent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East.In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from,but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere.Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them.”Fashion designer Angela Barnard ,who runs her own fashion business in London ,said older women were much more affected by celebrity(名流) style than in previous years .She said ,“When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties ,they want to follow them 、Older women are much more aware of celebrities .There’s also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look,and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties 、When I started my business a few years ago .my older customers tended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary women .My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago.”59、Professor Twigg found that ,compared with the 1960s,_______.A、the price of clothes has generally fallen by 70%B、the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%C、people spend 30% less than they did on clothesD、the amount of chothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%60、What can we learn about old women in terms of fashion？A.They are often ignored by fashion designers .B、They are now more easily influenced by stars .C、They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion .D、They are more interested in clothes because of their old age .61、It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly becauseA、they get tired of things more quickly shows teach them how to change their lookC、they are in much better shape nowD、clothes are much cheaper than before62、Which is the best possible title of the passage ?A、Age Is No Barrier for Fashion FansB.The More Fashionable ,the Less ExpensiveC.Unexpected Changes in FashionD.Boom of the British Fashion IndustryDThis brief book is aimed at high school students , but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life.Its formal ,serious style closely matches its content ,a school-masterly book on schooling .The author , W .H 、Armstrong ,starts with the basics : reading and writing 、In his opinion , reading doesn’t just mean recognizing each word on the page ; it means taking in the information,digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself .The goal is to bring the information back to life , not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees 、Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other ; in fact ,the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text .I’ve seen it again and again ：some-one who can’t express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn’t read it at all.Only a third of the book remains after that discussion ,which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages ,math , science and history 、He generally handles these topics thoroughly(透彻地) and equally ,except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion(激情) regarding history to his students , that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across .To my disappointment , in this part of the book he ignores the arts .As a matter of fact ,they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do,though the study diff ers slightly in kind .Although it’s commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired ,actually ,learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.My other comment is that the text aged、The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s—none of the references(参考文献)seem newer than the late 1950s、As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age.These are small points, though, and don’t affect the main discussion、I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.63、According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to________.A、gain knowledge and expand one’s viewB、understand the meaning between the linesC、experts ideas based on what one has readD、get information and keep it alive in memory64、The author of the passage insists that learning the arts_________.A、requires great effortsB、demands real passionC、is less natural than learning mathsD、is as natural as learning a language65、 What is a shortcoming of Armstrong’s work according to the author?A、Some ideas are slightly contradictory.B、There is too much discussion on studying science.C、The style is too serious.D、It lacks new information.66、This passage can be classified as________.A、an advertisementB、a book reviewC、a feature storyD、A news reportEHave you winterized your horse yet? Even though global warming may have made our climate more mild, many animals are still hibernating(冬眠) .It’s too bad that humans can’t hibernate、In fact, as a species, we almost did.Apparently, at times in the past , peasants in France liked a semi-state of human hibernation 、So writes Graham Robb, a British scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of the French peasants、As soon as the weather turned cold people all over France shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months on end、In line with this, Jeff Warren, a producer at CBC Radio’s The Current, tells us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the invention of artificial(人造的) lighting and the electric bulb.When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages, they noticed something referred to as “first sleep”, which was not clarified, though、 Now scientists are telling us our ancestors most likely slept in separate periods、The business of eight hours’ uninterrupted sleep is a modern invention.In the past , without the artificial light of the city to bathe in, humans went to sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves around midnight、The late night period was known as ”The Watch” It was when people actually kept watch against wild animals ,although many of them simply moved around or visited family and neighbours .According to some sleep researchers, a short period of insomnia(失眠) at midnight is not a disorder .It is normal 、Humans can experience another state of consciousness around their sleeping, which occurs in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning .This period can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people .The impressive inventor, Thomas Edison , used thisstate to hit upon many of his new ideas.Playing with your sleep rhythms can be adventurous ,as anxiety may set in、Medical science doesn’t help mu ch in this case、It offers us medicines for a full night’s continuous sleep, which sounds natural ; however, according to Warren’s theory，it is really the opposite of what we need.67.The example of the French peasants shows the fact that________.A、people might become lazy as a result of too much sleepB、there were signs of hibernation in human sleeping habitsC.people tended to sleep more peacefully in cold weatherD、winter was a season for people to sleep for months on end68、The late night was c alled “The Watch”because it was a time for people______.A、to set traps to catch animalsB、to wake up their family and neighboursC、to remind others of the timeD.to guard against possible dangers69、What does the author advise people to do ?A、Sleep in the way animals do.B.Consult a doctor if they can’t sleep.C.Follow their natural sleep rhythm.D.Keep to the eight-hour sleep pattern.70.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A.To give a prescription for insomnia.B.To urge people to sleep less.C.To analyze the sleep pattern of modern people.D.To throw new light on human sleep.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分40分）第一节：完成句子（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下列各小题，根据括号内的汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应题号后.71.Only if people of all the countries are united ________（我们才能解决）the existing problems in the world.(solve)72、________（油漆成）red,the building stands out among the rest and looks very attractive.(paint)73、________(不会用)a computer makes it more difficult for him to do his academic research.(use)74.The news ________（房价将要下跌）has caused many people to sell their houses at lower prices.(fall)75.After she completes the project,she’ll have ________（没什么要担心的）.(worry)76.Mr.Johnson insisted that the problem worthy of attention ________(讨论)at the meeting.(discuss)77.My mother was so proud of all ________（我所做的）that she rewarded me with a trip to Beijing.(do)st night’s TV news said that by then the death of the missing people ________（未证实）yet.(prove)79.It’s said that they have swum to the island from the continent,but they ________（不可能做到）because the ocean in between is too wide.(do)80、________(正如我们强调的那样)many times,“serve the people”is our first policy.(stress)第二节：短文写作（共1题；满分25分）请你根据以下提示，结合生活中的一个事例，用英语写一篇短文，谈谈微笑的作用.The best example of universally understood body language may be the smile.A smile can help us get through difficult situation and find friends in a world of strangers.A smile can open doors and tear down walls.注意：①无须写标题；②内容只需涉及一个方面；③词数为100左右.绝密☆启用前试卷类型：B 2010年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（湖北卷）英语试题参考答案第一部分：听力（每小题1.5分，满分30分）1.C2.B3.C4.B5.A6.A7.B8.B9.C 10.A11.C 12.A 13.B 14.A 15.C 16.B 17.C 18.A 19.A 20.B第二部分：词汇知识运用第一节：多项选择（每小题1分，满分10分）21.C 22.A 23.B 24.D 25.B 26.A 27.D 28.C 29.B 30.D第二届：完形填空（每小题1.5分，满分30分）31.D 32.C 33.B 34、B 35.A 36.D 37.A 38.C 39.C 40.D41.B 42.A 43.D 44.B 45.D 46.A 47.B 48.C 49.A 50.C第三部分：阅读理解（每小题2分，满分40分）A篇：51.C 52.B 53.D 54.A B篇：55.B 56.A 57.C 58.CC篇：59.A 60.B 61.D 62.A D篇：63.C 64、A 65.D 66.BE篇：67.B 68.D 69.C 70.D第四部分：书面表达第一节：完成句子（每小题1.5分，满分15分）71、can we solve/will we be able to solve72、Painted/Having been painted73、Not being able to use/Being unable to use/Not knowing how to use74、that house princes will fall75、nothing to worry about/no more worries76、(should) be discussed77、(that) I had done78、had not been proved79、can’t/couldn’t have done it/so/that/this80、As we have stressed/As has been stressed第二节：短文写作（满分25分）One possible versionI still remember how nervous I was on my first day in the new school three years ago, when I found it difficult to follow my teacher in the first English class、The teacher spoke English throughout the class, which was totally different from the lessons I had taken before.In the morning class the next day, the English teacher came to me while I was reading the text aloud as other students、After listening to me for a while, she gave me a big smile and said she liked my voice very much、The smile shone on the whole day and the following days、A week later, I volunteered to take charge of English study in my class.Thanks to the comtorting smile in my first morning class, I began to be confident.。

After protracted discussion and her repeated pleas she had been allowed this weekly visit to the disco run by the church youth club, provided she caught the nine-forty bus without fail. It’d put her down at the “Crown and Anchor” at Cobb’s marsh, only fifty yards from her cottage. From ten fifteen her father would begin watching for the bus to pass the front room where he and her mother would sit half-watching the television, the curtains drawn back. Whatever the programme or weather, he would then put on his coat and come out to walk the fifty yards to meet her, keeping her always in sight. Since the Norfolk Whistler had begun his killings, her father had an added justification for the mild domestic tyranny which she half-realized, he thought right in dealing with his only child and rather enjoyed. The concordat had been early established：“You do right by me, my girl, and I’ll do right by you.”She both loved him and slightly feared him and she dreaded his anger. Now there would be one of those awful rows in which she knew she couldn’t hope to look to her mother for support. It would be the end of her Friday evenings with Wayne and Shirl and the gang. Already they teased and pitied her because she was treated like a child. Now it would be total humiliation. Her final desperate thought was to hire a taxi and chase the bus, but she didn’t know where the cab rank was and she hadn’t enough money; she was sure of that. She could go back to the disco and see if Wayne and Shirl and the gang between them could lend her enough. But Wayne was always skint (⾝⽆分⽂的)and Shirl too mean and by the time she had argued and cajoled(哄骗)it would be too late. 1. What was the girl’s problem now? A. The bus was late B. She was late for the nine-forty bus C. She was afraid to encounter the Norfolk Whistler D. Her father would not come out to meet her on her way home 2. Why did the girl think "This was the end"? A. She had seen the Norfolk Whistle coming B. She would never be able to get home C. Her parents would give her a hard time D. She would never be allowed to visit the disco again 3. How long would it take her to get to the "Crown and Anchor"by bus? A. 40 minutes or so B. About half an hour C. Over an hour D. Hard to tell 4. Which of the following statements is probably true? A. Her father had been strict with her ever since the Norfolk Whistler began his killings B. Her father had always been strict with her since her childhood C. She dreaded her father because he was always angry with her D. Whatever happened her mother always sided by her 5. "She was sure of that."This means that she was sure___ A. she could catch up with the bus if she took a taxi B. she could not borrow any money from either Wayne or Shirl C. she did not have enough money on her to hire a taxi D. she would never be able to get home in time 2. Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these question is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surrounding. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to university and the other to factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who lives in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence. 1. Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Paragraph 1? A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth B. Intelligence is developed by the environment C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment 2. It is suggested in this passage that___. A. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence B. close relation usually have similar intelligence C. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence D. people who lived in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence. 3. Brothers and sisters are likely to___. A. have similar intelligence B. have different intelligence C. go to the same university D. go to the same factory 4. In Paragraph 1 (line 5), the word "surrounding"mean___. A. intelligence B. life C. environments D. housing 5. The best title for this article would be___. A. On Intelligence B. What does Intelligence Mean? C. We are Born with Intelligence D. Intelligence Is Developed by Environments。

So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs." John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high.The Rosses took a 2-week course for $ 280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe-making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $ 420. "I was deeply upset about it. Now I've finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself."John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a "do-it- yourselfer", you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don't have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.6. We can learn from the passage that many newly married couple ______.A. find it hard to pay for what they needB. have to learn to make their own furnitureC. take DIY courses run by the governmentD. seldom go to a department store to buy things7. John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to ______.A. run a DIY shopB. do it themselves in their spare timeC. do his own car and home repairsD. keep house and looks after his children8. When the writer says that Jim has a full-time job at home, he means Jim ____.A. makes shoes in his homeB. does extra work at nightC. does his own car and home repairsD. keeps house and looks after his children9. Jim Hatfield decided to become a "do-it-yourselfer" when ______.A. his car repairs cost too muchB. the car repair class was not helpfulC. he could not possibly do two jobsD. he had to raise the children all by himself10. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The Joy of DIY.B. You Can Do It Too.C. Welcome to Our DIY Course.D. Ross and Hatfield: Believers in DIY.Passage 2Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world’s use of paper was a bout one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.(208 words)11. What’s the meaning for the word “parchment”? _________A. The skin of young animals.B. A kind of paper made from the skin of certain young animals.C. The paper used by European countries.D. The paper of Egypt.12. Which of the following is not mentioned about the invention of paper? _______A. More jobs could be provided than before.B. More people could be educated than before.C. More books could be printed and distributed.D. More ways could be used to exchange knowledge.13. When did the Egyptians begin to use paper widely? _______A. Around 1400.B. Around 1900.C. Around 400.D. Around 900.14. Which of the following countries uses more paper for each person a year? ________A. China.B. Sweden.C. Egypt.D. Japan.15.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.TEXT AWhat is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine or any other science? We all know that science plays an important role in the societies in which we live. Many people believe, however, that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first of these is the application of the machines, products and systems of applied knowledge that scientists and technologists develop. Through technology, science improves the structure of society and helps man to gain increasing control over his environment.The second aspect is the application by all members of society of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is full of curiosity - he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually directs his attention towards problems which he notices have no satisfactory explanation, and his curiosity makes him look for underlying relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and applies logical thought to the observations he makes. He utilizes the facts he observes to the fullest extent. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum.He is skeptical - he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available - and therefore rejects authority as the sole basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively to verify them.Furthermore, he is not only critical of the work of others, but also of his own, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.Lastly, he is highly imaginative since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to make hypotheses of how processes work and how events takeplace.These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.81. Many people believe that science helps society to progress throughA. applied knowledge.B. more than one aspect.C. technology only.D. the use of machines.82. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT aboutcuriosity?A. It gives the scientist confidence and pleasure in work.B. It gives rise to interest in problems that are unexplained.C. It leads to efforts to investigate potential connections.D. It encourages the scientist to look for new ways of acting.83. According to the passage, a successful scientist would notA. easily believe in unchecked statements.B. easily criticize others' research work.C. always use his imagination in work.D. always use evidence from observation.84. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Application of technology.B. Progress in modem society.C. Scientists' ways of thinking and acting.D. How to become a successful scientist.85. What is the author's attitude towards the topic?A. Critical.B. Objective.C. Biased.D. Unclear.TEXT BOver the past several decades, the U.S., Canada, and Europe have received a great deal of media and even research attention over unusual phenomena and unsolved mysteries. These include UFOs as well as sightings and encounters with "nonhuman creatures" such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster. Only recently has Latin America begun to receive some attention as well. Although the mysteries of the Aztec, Mayan, and Inca civilizations have been known for centuries, now the public is also becoming aware of unusual, paranormal phenomena in countriessuch as Peru.The Nazca "lines" of Peru were discovered in the 1930s. These lines are deeply carved into a flat, stony plain, and form about 300 intricate pictures of animals such as birds, a monkey, and a lizard. Seen at ground level, the designs are a jumbled senseless mess. The images are so large that they can only be viewed at a height of 1,000 feet - meaning from an aircraft. Yet there were no aircraft in 300 B.C., when it is judged the designs were made. Nor were there then, or are there now, any nearby mountain ranges from which to view them. So how and why did the native people of Nazca create these marvelous designs? One answer appeared in 1969, when the German researcher and writer Erich von Daniken proposed that the lines were drawn by extraterrestrials as runways for their aircraft. The scientific community did not take long to scoffat and abandon von Daniken's theory. Over the years several other theories have been put forth, but none has been accepted by the scientific community.Today there is a new and heightened interest in the Nazca lines. It is a direct result of the creation of the Internet. Currently there are over 60 sites dedicated to this mystery from Latin America's past, and even respected scientists have joined the discussion through e-mail and chat rooms.Will the Internet help explain these unsolved mysteries? Perhaps it is a step in the right direction.86. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A. Latin America has long received attention for unusual phenomena.B. Public attention is now directed towards countries likePeru.C. Public interest usually focuses on North America and Europe.D. Some ancient civilizations have unsolved mysteries.87. According to the passage, the Nazca lines were foundA. in mountains.B. in stones.C. on animals.D. on a plain.88. We can infer from the passage that the higher the lines are seen, the ____ the images they present.A. smallerB. largerC. clearerD. brighter89. There has been increasing interest in the Nazca lines mainly because ofA. the participation of scientists.B. the emergence of the lnternet.C. the birth of new theories.D. the interest in the Internet.90. The author is ____ about the role of the lnternet in solving mysteries.A. cautiousB. pessimisticC. uncertainD. optimisticTEXT CGraduation speeches are a bit like wedding toasts. A few are memorable. The rest tend to trigger such thoughts as, "Why didI wear such uncomfortable shoes?"But graduation speeches are less about the message than the messenger. Every year a few colleges and universities in the US attract attention because they've managed to book high-profile speakers. And, every year, the media report some of these speakers' wise remarks.Last month, the following words of wisdom were spread:"You really haven't completed the circle of success unless you can help somebody else move forward." (Oprah Winfrey, Duke University)."There is no way to stop change; change will come. Go out and give us a future worthy of the world we all wish to create together." (Hillary Clinton, New York University)."'This really is your moment. History is yours to bend." (Joe Biden, Wake Forest University).Of course, the real "get" of the graduation season was first lady Michelle Obama's appearance at the University of California, Merced. "Remember that you are blessed," she told the class of 2009, "Remember that in exchange for those blessings, you must give something back... As advocate and activist Marian Wright Edelman says, 'Service is the rent we pay for living ... it is the true measure, the only measure of success'."Calls to service have a long, rich tradition in these speeches. However, it is possible for a graduation speech to go beyond cliche and say something truly compelling. The late writer David Foster Wallace's 2005 graduation speech at Kenyon College in Ohio talked about how to truly care about other people. It gained something of a cult after it was widely circulated on the Internet. Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs' address at Stanford University that year, in which he talked about death, is also considered oneof the best in recent memory.But when you're sitting in the hot sun, fidgety and freaked out, do you really want to be lectured aboutthe big stuff?. Isn't that like trying to maintain a smile at your wedding reception while some relative gives a toast that amounts to "marriage is hard work"? You know he's right; you just don't want to think about it at that particular moment. In fact, as is the case in many major life moments, you can't really manage to think beyond the blisters your new shoes are causing.That may seem anticlimactic. But it also gets to the heart of one of life's greatest, saddest truths: that our most "memorable" occasions may elicit the fewest memories. It's probably not something most graduation speakers would say, but it's one of the first lessons of growing up.91. According to the passage, most graduation speeches tend to recall ____ memories.A. greatB. trivialC. unforgettableD. unimaginative92. "But graduation speeches are less about the message than the messenger" is explainedA. in the final paragraph.B. in the last but one paragraph.C. in the first paragraph.D. in the same paragraph.93. The graduation speeches mentioned in the passage are related to the following themes EXCEPTA. death.B. success.C. service.D. generosity.94. It is implied in the passage that at great moments people fail toA. remain clear-headed.B. keep good manners.C. remember others' words.D. recollect specific details.95. What is "one of the first lessons of growing up"?A. Attending a graduation ceremony.B. Listening to graduation speeches.C. Forgetting details of memorable events.D. Meeting high-profile graduation speakers.TEXT DCultural rules determine every aspect of food consumption. Who eats together defines social units. For example, in some societies, the nuclear family is the unit that regularly eats together. The anthropologist Mary Douglas has pointed out that, for the English, the kind of meal and the kind of food that is served relate to the kinds of social links between people who are eating together. She distinguishes between regular meals, Sunday meals when relatives may come, and cocktail parties for acquaintances. The food served symbolizes the occasion and reflects who is present. For example, only snacks are served at a cocktail party. It would be inappropriate to serve a steak or hamburgers. The distinctions among cocktails, regular meals, and special dinners mark the social boundaries between those guests who are invited for drinks, those who are invited to dinner, and those who come to a family meal. In this example, the type of food symbolizes the category of guest and with whom it is eaten.。
