AWedding took place in a Birmingham hotel. The bride and her father arrived in a new black American sports car. Her father looked nervous and uncomfortable in front of the cameras. The bride wore a silk wedding dress. She smiled nervously at the waiting photographers and went to a room on the first floor where she met her future husband for the very first time.Carla Germaine and Greg Cordell were the winners of a radio station’s competition. The aimof the competition was to find two strangers prepared to marry without having met each other. Miss Germaine，23，is a model. Mr. Cordell，27，is a TV salesman. They were among the two hundred people who entered for a peculiar“experiment”organized by BMRB radio in Birmingham，England. Greg and Carla were among eight finalists who were interviewed live on radio. Theytook a lie detector（测谎仪）test and the station also spoke to their friends and family about their personalities. The competition judges included an astrologer（占星家）who declared that they were suited.The couple celebrated their wedding with a wedding breakfast and a party for 100 guests in the evening，but not everyone shared their joy. Miss Germaine’s mother looked anxious throughout the wedding and Mr. Cordell’s parents are reported to be less than de lighted.Organizations，including the marriage guidance service Relate，have criticized the marriage. As one person put it，“We have enough problems getting young people to take marriage seriously without this. Marriage should always be about love. ”The couple are now on a Caribbean honeymoon followed by journalists.Their other prizes include a year’s free use of a wonderful apartment in the centre of Birmingham，and a car. But will it last?21. How did the couple’s parents react to the we dding?A. The bride’s mother shared their joy.B. The bride’s father felt uncomfortable about the wedding.C. The bridegroom’s parents were quite delighted.D. The bridegroom’s parents were not that joyful.22. Some experts believe that ______.A. mar riage without the couple’s meeting each other first ends up in divorceB. young people nowadays are too careless about marriageC. taking a lie detector test can not solve all the marriage problemsD. most young people take marriage seriously except this couple23. One of the prizes for the couple is ______.A. to spend their honeymoon wherever they likeB. to use an apartment free for some timeC. to have a wedding dress freeD. to own an American sports car24. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Two Strangers and a WeddingB. A Wedding Based on LoveC. A Short-Lived MarriageD. A Well-Matched CoupleBHow often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives 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. In addition, life is always presenting 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 parents, he is not so free to do what he wishes to do. He is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has donewrong. When the 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. If 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.25. According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that _______.A. life for a child is comparatively easyB. a child is always loved whatever he doesC. if much is given to a child, he must do something in returnD. only children are interested in life26. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. People are often satisfied with their life.B. Life is less interesting for old people.C. Adults are freer to do what they want to do.D. Adults should no longer rely on others.27. The main idea of the passage is ________.A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some painsB. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardC. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s lifeD. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life28. The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss _______.A. examples of successful young menB. how to build up one’s position in societyC. joys and pains of old peopleD. what to do when one has problems in lifeCMr. Handsome2007-5-126: 34 AM著作Mitchell pages by cutting 30 to 40 percent of original, with words, sentences, paragraphs and, in ￡with plans for 50 to 100 more to follow.

As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available(可用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.Mr. Crockatt2007-5-124:38 PMclassics? I’m afraid reading some of these books is hard work, and that is why you have to develop as a reader. If people don’t have time to read fine. But doSoil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing（施肥）have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold: First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw(缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. Second, I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June，but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind，I’ll think about that tomorrow.32. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of roses ?A. A lot of care and the right soil.B. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.C. Tomato plants grown alongside.D. Cages placed around the roots.33. The writer planted the tomato because _________.A. it cost only $1.25B. the soil was just right for itC. there was room for it in the gardenD. the roses’ branches needed to be covered34. This year the writer’s roses were __________.A. removed from the rose bedB. picked along with the tomatoesC. mostly damaged by too much sunlightD. largely hidden under the tomato plant35. By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to ________.A. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoesB. show the hardship of growing the rosesC. express her liking for the rosesD. express her care for the tomatoes第二节（共5小题：每小题2分,满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ASports are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us. I have been into sports since I was six years old. I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski. I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before. I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effo rt since I thought I’d make it with no problem. That was a big mistake.Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met. He didn’t expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort. One example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups (投篮) we missed in a game. Some think this is crazy, but it isn’t. After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, “coach, that was the best practice I ever had.” I was completely sincere. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life’s challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters.coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how he did off the court. He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted. I can honestly say that no othercoach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life. My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students. I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual.21. Different from other coaches, Coach Brian ________.A. concentrated on skill trainingB. expected the team to do well in their studiesC. trained the team to the edge of deathD. asked the team to do more reading than training22. The underlined phrase “slacked off” in the last paragraph probably means ________.A. paid no attentionB. showed no interestC. made less effortD. had less passion23. In the author’s eye, Coach Brian is ________.A. professional and seriousB. hardworking and honestC. skilled and cruelD. strict and helpfulBThe Netherlands on Monday introduced its first-ever intelligent bicycle, fitted with electronic devices to help bring down the high accident rate among elderly cyclists in the bicycle-mad country.Developed for the government by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), the intelligent bicycle, runs on electricity. A commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1, 700 to 3, 200 euros per bicycle.The devices on the bike are linked through an onboard computerwith a vibrating (震动的) warning system fitted in the bicycle's saddleand handlebars to warn cyclists of the coming danger.The saddle vibrates when other cyclists approach from behind,while, the handlebars do the same when barriers appear ahead."Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed," said Maurice Kwakkernaat, one of TNO's research scientists involved in the project. "The onboard system technology has already been at work in the car industry," he said.''More and more elderly people are using a bicycle, not only for short distances, but also for longer distances," Dutch Environment and Infrastructure Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen told AFP. "This type of bicycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will helpus bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue to enjoy cycling," she said.In the Netherlands, bicycles outnumber the population of 17 million by at least one million and there are some 25,000 km of bicycle path in the country. Those statistics are set to grow as more and more people take to two-wheeled transport, leading to an increased risk of injury.Last year, 184 cyclists died in the country, of which 124, or 67%, were older than 65, according to the Central Statistics Office. The year before, 200 cyclists died, the majority of victims also being elderly.The current model weighs 25 kilograms but researchers are working on making the onboard systems smaller.24. The intelligent bicycle is aimed to ________.A. protect the environmentB. help reduce traffic pressureC. popularize the use of bicyclesD. improve safety for elderly cyclists25. Which part of the intelligent bicycle will vibrate when another cyclist was suddenly foundahead?A. The handlebars.B. The wheels.C. The saddle.D. The onboard computer.26. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. the elderly ride bicycles wherever they goB. the accident rate among elderly cyclists is highC. the number of elderly cyclists is decreasingD. the elderly are planning to give up cycling27. Which is the best title for the passage?A. A Test BicycleB. Elderly CyclistsC. A Smart BicycleD. A Bicycle-mad CountryCYou can love them or hate them, but no matter which tourist destination you visit, chances are you'll see someone with their head buried in a Lonely Planet guidebook.Lonely Planet is one of the world's largest travel guide brands, publishing more than 500 different guides in eight languages. The popular brand also produces television shows, websites and podcasts (播客) all devoted to travel.Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable. They also save time and make sure you don't miss the best things.They also provide the reviews of hostels, hotels, restaurants and ticket information about your destination.This can be great if you're a nervous traveler, or if you haven't traveled by yourself before. If you're in a country where you don't speak the language, sometimes there's nothing better than getting into a taxi and opening up a guidebook. You simply point to a map that directs the taxi driver to a hostel that's cheap and clean, with friendly staff and cold beer.But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers like them. They say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity (自发性) out of traveling, and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen. They also regret that if you follow a guidebook, you'll end up doing the same thing and having the same experience as everyone else. You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over, because everyone is reading the same book and following the same route.Another criticism of travel guides is that they have a large impact on local communities. For example, some locals devote their lives to behaving in ways that attract tourists. They pretend to live a traditional lifestyle, wear traditional clothes and live in traditional houses in order to attract the tourist dollar.28. The Lonely Planet guidebook can bring you the following advantages EXCEPT that _____.A. you can speak a foreign language when opening a guidebookB. you can easily find a nice place to stay in a strange cityC. it provides lots of useful information about your destinationD. it can help you save time and money when traveling29. People criticize the guidebook because ________.A. it is not as useful as most travelers expectB. tourist destinations will be crowded if everyone follows the same routeC. travelers may not get the chance to have unexpected adventuresD. local people keep modern lifestyles under its influence30. What do we know about the Lonely Planet guidebook from the text?A. It's a world-famous brand only producing guidebooks for travelers.B. It's very useful to a person who's nervous about touring an unfamiliar place.C. It's very useful to a tourist who dosen’t like to repeat others' experiences.D. It is loved by all travelers because of the convenience it brings to travelers.31. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? (①－⑦stand for Paragraph l －Paragraph 7 )A B C DDImagine a world in which there were suddenly no emotion — a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate. Try to imagine the consequences of such a transformation. People might not be able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure, anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial. They could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this emotionless world would lack rewards and punishments. Society would soon disappear: people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and support. Human relationships would not exist: in a world without friends or enemies, there could be no marriage, affection among companions, or bonds among members of groups. Society's economic underpinnings (支柱) would be destroyed: since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, there would be no incentive (动力) to work. In fact, there would be no incentives of any kind, for as we will see, incentives mean a capacity to enjoy them.In such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instruments of our survival and adaptation. Emotions structure the world for us in important ways. As individuals, we categorize objects on the basis of our emotions. True, we consider the length, shape, size or texture, but an object's physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us — hurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyful. We also use categorizations colored by emotions in our families, communities, and overall society. Out of our emotional experience with objects and events comes a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are "good" and others are "bad", and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social life — from what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how we keep promises and which people our group will accept. In fact, society uses our emotional reactions and attitudes, such as loyalty, morality, pride, shame, guilt, fear and greed, in order to maintain itself. It gives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery, makes heroes out of individuals for unusual or dangerous achievements such as flying fighter planes in a war, and uses the legal penal (刑法的) system to make people afraid to engage in antisocial acts.32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A. people would not be able to tell the physical aspects of objects.B. people would be more likely to hurt each other than help.each other.C. People would not get any improvement from experience.D. There would be nothing but lies, arguments and violence.33. In can be inferred from the passage that the economic foundation of society is dependenton ________.A. the ability to make moneyB. the capacity to workC. the motivation to workD. the emotional experience34. Why are the emotional aspects of an object more important than its physical aspects?A. They help society use its members for more profit.B. They encourage us to perform important tasks in the war.C. They help to perfect the legal and penal system to make people afraid.D. They help us adapt our behaviors to the world surrounding us.35. What is the text mainly about?A. People could only live in a world with positive emotions.B. People would always do bad things in the emotionless world.C. Emotions play a vital role in the world we are living in.D. Without emotions, nobody would like to work.第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AChina is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and c heapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors----silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the worldas I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.21. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A. Because they are traditional and safe.B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.C. Because they are colorful and available.D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.22. The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ______________.A. to ride it for funB. to use it for transportC. to experience local skillsD. to improve his riding skills23. How did the author feel about his street crossing?A. It was boring.B. It was difficult.C. It was lively.D. It was wonderful.24. Which of the following be st describes the author’s biking experience?A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.C. The author was praised by the other bikers.D. The author took great pleasure in biking.【答案】21.B22.C23.B24.D【解析】试题分析：本文为记叙文。

To inform the race participants of the activity.C. To describe details related to the activity.D. To collect money for the parking-lots.BMore than 2.25 billion cups of coffee are drunk throughout the world each day, and it’s likely that many taste bitter. Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink sweeter by changing the color of their cups.Researchers from Oxford set out to prove whether the claim that coffee drunk from a white cup tastes biter was true. They used 36 volunteers and three different colored cups---blue, white and transparent glass--- to examine the claim.In one experiment, the white cup increased the intensity (浓度) of the coffee taste relative to the transparent cup. Then, in a second experiment, coffee drunk from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other colored cups, while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest.The scientists believe that the color brown may be associated with bitterness, and coffee in a white cup appears the brownest.“Our study clearly shows that the color of a cup does influence our sense of the coffee taste,” leading author Dr. George Doorn, wrote in an article for The Conversation. “The effect of the color of the cup on the taste of the coffee reported here suggests that cafe owners should carefully consider the color of their cups,” he said. “The potential effects may spell the difference between aone-time purchase and a return c ustomer.”Actually, the idea that color can change the food and drink taste came out many years ago. A study published last year reported that red, strawberry-flavored cake served on a white plate was rated as 10 percent sweeter than the same food presented on a black plate.24. The passage is mainly about _____.A. the popularity of sweet coffee.B. an experiment made in Oxford.C. the effect of cup color on coffee’s tasteD. useful tips on how to make coffee.25. In which cup will coffee taste the sweetest?A. A white cup.B. A blue cup.C. A transparent cupD. A brown cup26. Café owners should consider their cups’ color in order to ______.A. reduce the daily expensesB. show their taste in coffeeC. appeal to more customersD. make their café different.27. We learn from the passage that_____.A. coffee in a white cup tastes sweeter than that in a transparent glassB. over 2 billion cups of sweet coffee are drunk worldwide each year.C. Dr. George Doorn wrote an article about making conversations.D. the idea that color could affect the taste of drink is not new.CWe should feel grateful in our heart when we accept anything others sacrifice for us. However, we often unconsciously do the opposite, which may not be regarded as returning kindness with ingratitude, but have the equal power to harm each other. In particular, the closer the relationship is, the more determined we are.Jennifer, my friend Randy’s mother, is already over 70, poor eyesight and weak legs. But due to her character, she chose to live alone in the suburbs. No matter how busily Randy works, he would go there to visit her once or twice every week.That day as soon as he parked his car, Randy smelt the delicious smell of meat coming from her mother’s house. His mother said, “Your birthday is coming next week, so I’m preparing pork trotters (猪蹄) for you!” Seeing the steaming delicious trotters, he couldn’t help complaining, “Idon’t like these things at all, so fatty.”On his way back, he called me, saying that he felt sorry. In fact, he longed to thank his mother and eat up that bowl of trotters. But he felt sorry that it took her too much time and energy. If he didn’t stop her strictly, he was afr aid the same thing would continue. He would rather not eat trotters any more than have his mother overwork. I understand how he felt exactly. Each of us has done like that. Because of feeling sorry for others’ sacrifice, we purposely harden our heart again st accepting others’ favor and even criticize them severely in order to frighten their goodness away and make them never do that again.This method may work, but it will hurt each other’s feelings. It’s not wrong logically, but we always neglect another so und deep in our heart: because we’re afraid we can’t repay them, we’re unwilling to shoulder others’ goodness. So we reduce its value and refuse it severely. But to destroy others’ goodness is also to deny you.28. Randy refuse to eat the pork trotters his mother cooked because ____.A. he disliked them at allB. they were really very fatty.C. they weren’t his favorite tasteD. he didn’t want her to overwork.29. Randy telephoned the author to _____.A. express his apology to his motherB. complain about his motherC. apologize for his rudenessD. ask for a bowl of trotters.30. According to the author, we sometimes say “no” to others’ favor so that ______.A. they can be frightened awayB. they won’t continue doing thatC. we needn’t repay them laterD. we won’t feel sorry for their sacrifice31. In the last paragraph, the author implies that we should ____.A. refuse others’ favor immediatelyB. deal with others’ f avor wiselyC. repay others’ goodness activelyD. shoulder others’ goodness completely.DFor a while, I wrote a “Tuesday tip” on my blog . It was about easy week-night dinners, organizing parties or perhaps finding time out for friends.About a year ago, I ran out of tips.The truth? As a busy working mom with five busy kids, I probably do have a few tips to share. But honestly, the bar is set pretty low---on a recent day when I was walking our dog, a stranger who knew I h ad five kids said, “Wow! You have a dog, too?! And it even looks like you showered today!” Yes, it’s true, I shower. Not every day, but most days. See, I’m telling the truth. Honestly, in this cold winter, I’m probably taking a shower more to warm up than to clean up.Other funny truths? I’m tired. In fact, for the past year, I’ve been too tired to type up any update on our life here in Lyons Den. It’s hard to arrange a career with all these kids. Although folks just believe that it must be so much easier n ow since all the kids are in school, I’m here to tell you, it’s not. It’s really not. When I get home from work, I’m often tearfully greeted by five kids and five homework folders filled with math facts, invitations, notices and artwork.All those happy smiling faces I share on Facebook are real. We are a happy family---thank God for that! But we’re not always smiling, and even in those rare best times when I can get all five kids looking at the camera, the odds would be that one of them isn’t wearing under wear, one is pinching (捏) someone behind the scenes and one is just perfectly pronouncing “Damn!” So, less perfectly-posed pictures, but more telling the truth. Even if only on Tuesday.32. It seems that the author’s life used to be _____.A. tiringB. busyC. relaxingD. funny33. Which of the following is true about the author?A. She can’t get along well with her neighbors.B. She’s living a happy life with her familyC. She likes to have a shower every day.D. She has already closed her blog now.34. Which of the following words can best take the place of the word odds?A. answers.B. chances.C. solutionsD. ways.35. The passage mainly talks about _____.A. the happiness of a working motherB. the worry of a working motherC. the hardship of a working motherD. the bittersweet of a working mother第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AAlexandra Scott was born to Liz and Jay Scott in Manchester, Connecticut on January 18, 1996, the second of four children. Shortly before her first birthday, Alex was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer.On her first birthday, the doctors informed Alex's parents that if she beat her cancer it was doubtful that she would ever walk again. Just two weeks later, Alex slightly moved her leg at her parents’ request to kick. This was the first indication that she would turn out to be a courageous and confident child with big dreams and big accomplishments.By her second birthday, Alex was able to stand up with leg braces (支架).She worked hard to gain strength and to learn how to walk. She appeared to be overcoming the difficulties, until the shocking discovery within the next year that her tumors(肿瘤)had started growing again. In the year 2000, the day after her fourth birthday, Alex received a stem cell transplant (干细胞移植)and informed her mother, “When I get out of the hospital I want to have a lemonade stand.”She said she wanted to give the money to doctors to allow them to “help other k ids, like they helped me.” True to her word, she held her first lemonade stand later that year with the help of her older brother and raised an amazing $2,000 for “her hospital”.People from all over the world, moved by h er story, held their own lemonade stands and donated the earnings to Alex and her cause. In August of 2004, Alex passed away at the age of 8, knowing that, with the help of others, she had raised more than $ 1 million to help find a cure for the disease that took her life.

We feel that this is one of the best neighborhoods of high quality in the city of Mesa, and we are happy to be able to call you neighbors.For your information, there are a few things we would like to tell you. One is that there are certain duties that go with living in Dobson Ranch. In order to keep property (房地产)values at the highest possible levels, we insist that everyone who lives in Dobson Ranch take care of their property. This means that the grass needs to be cut regularly, branches of the trees and bushes should be cut off, and there should be no unattractive additions to houses, nor should houses be painted in colors like red or blue. If you want to make any additions to your house, you need our permission first.The people of Dobson Ranch also have monthly meetings to discuss various issues of concern in our community. You are welcome to attend. We typically hold meetings on the first Saturday of every month at 7: 00 PM at the Dobson Ranch Community Center. You will receive a notice via e-mail a few days before every meeting as a reminder. We hope that you will join us as much as you see fit.Again, welcome to the neighborhood, and I look forward to meeting you soon.Sincerely,Juan Sanchez PresidentDobson Ranch Housing AssociationOctober 20Dear Mr Sanchez,Thank you very much for your letter welcoming us to the neighborhood. My wife and I appreciate your concern, and we also appreciate you letting us know about the various rules that apply to this neighborhood. Please do not worry about us. No matter where we live, we always try to beneighbors taking care to do our work pr operly. We too are well aware of property values. To be honest, we are actually pleased that there are regulations that must be obeyed. In the past, we have had neighbors who have not taken care of their homes and yards; at least we know that we will not have to worry about that here.As for the meetings, thank you for your kind invitation, but I’m afraid that you probably won’t see us too often. My work takes me out of town, so when I’m not traveling, I prefer to stay home. Similarly, my wife works long hours at the hospital and prefers to spend her days off relaxing at home. However, if we have the time, we will try to make it to a meeting. Again, thank you for welcoming us.Sincerely,Fred Deacon25.

For the in vitation to the monthly meetings, Fred Deacon responds that ______.A. he will attend regularlyB. he will attend with his wifeC. his wife will attend aloneD. neither he nor his wife will attend very oftenCFor many years, machines have been doing work that people once did, including some difficult jobs. Search and rescue operations in dangerous environments are often seen as the first areas that will employ high technology robots. But there is another area where they may soon take jobs traditionally held by human beings: the restaurant industry.Teams from around the world competed in early June at the DARPA Robotic Challenge Finals in California. A team from South Korea and its robot, called DRC-Hubo, won the first place in the competition. The second and third place winners were from the United States. The robots were required to drive a vehicle, climb up steps and do mechanical work. Such activities are easy for humans to perform, but more difficult for machines. Not all of the competitors were successful. The failures showed how difficult it is to design effective walking machines.Akihiro Suzuki works at Yaskawa Electric, a company that develops robots. He says robots cannot do everything a human can? but they are able to work without becoming tired. He says robots cannot taste food, change heating levels or seasonings to get the best flavor (风味).But he says ifa food can be easily prepared, a robot can repeat the same movement to reproduce the same meal.One Japanese woman who saw the robots working wanted to bring them home. Masayo Moti says she would like to have a husband who could work like a robot. Suzumo Machinery showed its sushi (寿司)maker robot. It performs the often difficult work of wrapping the popular Japanese food. Hiroshi Monden is an official with the company. He says people all over the world now eat sushi, but there are not enough skilled workers to prepare it. He says his machine can help anyone make sushi.28. In Paragraph 1, the author tells us ______.A. robots just do difficult jobsB. robots are sometimes dangerousC. robots are widely used in our lifeD. robots are gradually replacing humans29. Why did some teams fail at the DARPA Robotic Challenge Finals?A. Their robots cannot be applied at home.B. Preparing food is really difficult for robots.C.

Japanese men are lazyB. robots are popular in JapanC. Japan has advanced high technologyD. robots usually take the job of making sushi in Japan31. In which column can we probably see the text?A. Education.B. Culture.C. Health.D. Science.DZheng Penyu: Interest is the best teacher. Classrooms that weren’t fixed could give students the chance to explore their interests. At the same time, they would be able to learn on their own because they would have to make their own decisions. All in all, the new system would be a good chance to inspire students’ passion for studying.Sun Yao: Despite its benefits, I’m worried about whether the new system would work. Going to different classrooms would take up a big part of our break time and we would have less time to relax after class. Also, not all schools could offer so many diversified classes.Shi Zhenhan: I support students learning in different classes. It would solve the problem of some students thinking the classes are too easy while some think they are too difficult. Teachers could also teach more effectively. What’s more, friendships built while in different classes might be a pleasant surprise.Zhou Qingqing: in my opinion, studying in different classrooms might affect students’psychological(心理的)development. They might find it difficult to develop deep and strong friendships with other students if they had to change classrooms constantly. They would also lose their sense of belonging to a certain class.Hu Qile: I applaud the idea. It would help teachers set up special teaching plans fordifferent classes. For students, making choices by themselves could encourage them to be responsible. Changing classrooms could also help relive the boredom of doing the same dull routine(惯例) every day.Wang Xiaoqiang: The new system might help with students’individual development, but I still prefer the current system. Studying in one fixed classroom, students with different academic levels can help each other. Spending your senior middle school years with the same classmates is an unforgettable experience.32.According to Sun Yao,which of the following sentences is TRUE?A. The new system will work if great measures are taken.B. All the schools can’t afford so many diversified classes.C. Students will have more time to relax.D. He supports the system because of its benefits.33.Among the following people, who prefers the new system?A. Sun Yao.B. Hu Qile.C. Zhou QingqingD. Wang Xiaqian34.What is the passage about?A. Schools should offer diversified classes to students.B. Students find it difficult to develop friendship.C. Different opinions about changing classroom.D. Changing classroom can help with students’ individual development.35.Which of the following can best replace the word” applaud” in paragraph 5?A. hateB. opposeC. favorD. benefit第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

To avoid doing a dutyB. To choose to doC. To decide not to be part of a groupD. To decide onBOne day I was driving home with a woman. She rolled down the window, fifty feet away from the driveway and spit her gum （口香糖）out of the window. “Couldn’t you just wait five seconds and put your gum where it belongs?” I asked, annoyed.She was not the only one who was gum-lazy. Consider the following. Every time I brush chewed gum under my desk, I shake with fright. At Folsom Middle School, whenever I had to walk by the gum wall next to the girls’ locker room, I felt totally disgusted. When I was young, I walked outside during my dance show in my ballet shoes, always stepping right on a big and juicy piece of bubble gum. I was extremely upset.The worst part of all these incidents is that a trash can is located near. But some people are too lazy to walk towards it.If you can’t be a responsible gum chewer, don’t chew at all. That’s all I’m going to say.Take Singapore as a good example. The chewing gum ban in Singapore was placed. It bans the import and sale of chewing gum in Singapore, whether for the purpose of trade or personal chewing. However, the ban has been partly lifted with some types of gum, such as medical gum, allowable. This comes with the warning that it is sold only by a druggist, who has to take down the names of buyers. Obviously, the Singapore government gets angry at gum stuck in keyholes of mailboxes and on elevator buttons.Not only is it annoying, but chewing gum can actually do harm to the health. Most gum contains aspartame （阿斯巴甜）, a chemical sweetener（增甜剂）that the US government is now deciding whether or not it is a deadly chemical. If it is, it may cause cancer. Other studies suggest that aspartame may cause neurological（神经系统的）disorders. Therefore, aspartame is not allowed to use in the US.So just say no to chewing gum.24. What did the author think of the woman’s behavior?A. It was strange.B. It was unacceptable.C. It was dangerous.D. It was violent.25 According to Paragraph 2, the author _________.A. stepped on a piece of gum while dancingB. cleaned gum under her desk sometimesC. was troubled by chewed gumD. often found chewed gum in her locker26. What do we know about aspartame?A. It is proved to be a harmless chemical.B. It is the cause of many kinds of cancer..C. It is being refused by the US government.D. It is the main ingredient of chewing gum.27. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To advise people against chewing gum.B. To criticize people who are lazy.C. To persuade people to buy medical gum.D. To make comments on the ban in Singapore.CMarch 21 has been declared World Sleep Day, a time to recognize and celebrate the value of sleep. Many sleep experts hope it will be a wake-up call.According to a poll (民意调查）by the National Sleep Foundation, nearly 4 in 5 Americans don’t get as much sleep as they should during the workweek. On average, adults are thought toneed at least eight hours of sleep a night, although some can manage with less and some won’t do well without more. But the survey found that, on workdays, only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep, and another 21% get less than six.To many of us, the thought of spending more time sleeping is, well, a big yawn. On the other hand, the thought of being smarter, thinner, healthier and more cheerful has a certain appeal. And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we consistently get enough sleep, researchers say. Also on the plus side: We’re likely to have better skin, better memories, better judgment, and, oh, yes, longer lives.“When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it influences your performance the next day,” says Dr. Alon Avidan, director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center.A study published last year found the same to be true even of children. When kids aged 8 to12 slept for just one hour less for four nights, they didn’t function as well during the day.But sleeping has an image problem. “We see napping or sleeping as lazy,” says Jennifer Vriend, a clinical psychologist in Ottawa, Canada, and the leading author of the study with children. “We put so much emphasis on diet, nutrition and exercise. Sleep is in the back seat.” In fact, she adds, no matter how much we work out, no matter how well we eat, we can’t be in top physical shape unless we also get plenty of sleep.28. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means _____.A. To wake up the sleepersB. To draw people’s attentionC. To serve as a morning callD. To declare the special day29.From Paragraph 3 we can infer that _______A. Being healthier is one of the advantages for usB. Sleeping has nothing to do with one’s expectationsC. Spending more time on sleeping is a waste of timeD. Enough sleep is the guarantee of the appealing things30.What Jennifer Vriend said in the last paragraph implies that _______.A. Sleeping is an image problemB. People care little about sleepingC. Lazy people tend to sleep longD. Sleeping is only part of our life31.What is the purpose of the passage?A. To talk about people’s sleeping problems.B. To provide an investigation result of sleeping.C. To arouse the awareness of enough sleeping.D. To stress the function of sleeping at night.DThe chimp didn’t feel well. She fell over, ignoring the other wild chimps.Finally, the sick chimp crawled over to a bush, picked some leaves and swallowed them. By the next afternoon, the chimp was as good as new!Biologists watching the chimp were surprised. Somehow, the plant had cured the chimp! Did the chimp know the plant would make her feel better? Or was it just a lucky accident?Many scientists don’t think it has anything to do with luck. They’re discovering that some animals seem to use plants to cure themselves. And these animals are leading scientists to new plants that could cure humans!Dr. Richard Wrangham, an anthropologist at Harvard University, agrees that animals may know something we don’t know about forest plants.Wrangham got to know chimps and their diets while studying them for three years in Tanzania. “You must know a lot about an animal’s feeding habits to know what it doesn’t consider food,” Wrangham explains. Every morning, he saw that most chimps ate fruit near their nests. Later on, they ate on leaves.When he noticed chimps eating the leaves of a plant they usually ignored, Wrangham thought something interesting was going on---especially when he saw that they’d sometimes walk for 20 minutes to find the plant. Another strange thing that caught his eye was how they ate the bitter leaves.“They swallowed the leaves whole,” explains Wrangham, noting that chimps usually chew their food well. “They seemed to rub（摩擦）the leaves around the roofs of their mouths. They closed their eyes, wrinkled their noses and swallowed slowly. ”Wrangham wondered what could be so good about something tasting so bad. He had a chemist analyze the leaves. He discovered that the leaves contain a red oil that kills different viruses（病毒）. Later tests showed that the oil might even fight cancer and the AIDS virus!Why don’t the chimps chew the leaves? “Rubbing t he leaves between the tongue and the inside of the mouth might allow the chemicals to enter the bloodstream directly,” he suggests,“instead of going to the stomach, where they might get destroyed by acids. The chimps seem to know what they’re doing.”32. We can learn from the passage that _________.A. chimps cure themselves by chewing plantsB. chemicals in plants help cure animalsC. scientists live with chimps to study their dietsD. Dr. Wrangham knows a lot about forest plants33. How can Dr. Wrangham tell which plants are medicine for chimps?A. By talking with the biologists.B. By studying the chimps’ feeding habits.C. By analyzing the chimps’ favorite food.D. By comparing other scientists’ discoveries.34. The author wrote the passage to ___________.A. provide a solutionB. test a theoryC. present a findingD. describe an experiment35. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Animal doctors.B. Forest plants.C. Chimp’s diets.D. A cure for cancer.第二节（共5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AVisitors worry that London is an expensive city but there really are so many free things to do here. The following ideas should get you started.All of London's major museums are free, but most offer some special exhibitions for a fee. My favorite is the Museum of London where you can learn the history of London from Roman times to today. And I love the Geffrye Museum which shows English domestic interiors and helps bring to life what it was really like to live in London.I regularly hear people tell me the Queen Mary's Rose Gardens in Regent's Park is their favorite spot in London, and who am I to argue? I would also recommend St. James's Park as it offers one of the best views of Buckingham Palace. Hyde Park is enormous and Kensington Gardens nearby includes the ever popular Diana Memorial Playground and the Peter Pan Statue.No visit to London is complete without seeing this military tradition. The Queen's Guard in London changes in the Forecourt inside the gates of Buckingham Palace at 11.30am every day in the summer and every other day in the winter. Get there early and view the spectacle from outside the front gates.Trafalgar Square is one of Britain's greatest visitor attractions and was designed by John Nash in the 1820s and constructed in the 1830s.

Which of the following factors contributes to child obesity?A. dietary modulation of gut microbiotaB. beneficial gut bacteriaC. an improved gut microbiotaD. dysbiosis of gut microbiota25. Which can replace the underlined word “diminished”？A. unsatisfiedB. increasedC. decreasedD. good26. Where is the passage extracted?A. Medicine book B Science book C.

An effective treatment to obesity has been found.CGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed aboutattitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease.On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.28. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.B. they believed disease could be spread in public bathsC. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay inD. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease29. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?A. Approving.B. Afraid.C. CuriousD. Uninterested.30. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By providing examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By following the order of time.D. By following the order of importance.31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To stress the role of dirt.B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.D. To present the change of views on dirt.DWelcome to your future life!You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the c ells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes’color or pattern.You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn't drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sle eve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli,“it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example --- what will be the next?32. We can learn from the text that in the future__________.A. people will never get oldB. everyone will look the sameC. red will be the most popular colorD. clothes will be able to change their pattern33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Milk will be harmful to health.B. More drinks will be available for sale.C. Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.D.

AI hear many parents saying that their teenage children are rebellion（反叛的）. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out bravely on their own, most of them are trying to seize at one another’s hands for safety.They say they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon(蚕茧) -----into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly opened up a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from newspapers and TV what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award（奖励）high narks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to great difficulty for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the difficulty is worth getting over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-----with the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.21.The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is to tell_______.A.readers how to be popular in the worldB.parents how to control and guide their childrenC.teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselvesD.people how to understand and respect each other22. According to the writer, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but,in fact, most of them______.A. are not sure of themselvesB.have much difficulty in understanding each otherC. dare not do thingsD. are very much afraid of getting lost23．During the teenage years, one should learn to_____.A.become different from others in as many ways as possibleB.find one’s real selfC.get into the right reason and become popularD.rebel against parentsBDo you like to eat out? Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food? Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners（小餐馆）for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasn’t a real diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate.Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings withlarge windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner.Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonald’s and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.24. A ma n named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. Why is the word “diner” in quotationmarks(引号)？A.Because it is spelled differently from “ dinner”B.Because the first diner was not what it is nowC.Because diner was a new wordD.Because it is a special kind of restaurant25. According to paragraph 3, diners changed in __________A. Two waysB. three waysC. four waysD. five ways26. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Diners existed before a fast-food restaurantB.The menu included more food than sandwiches and coffeeC.Burger King is a fast-food restaurantD.Sandwiches became bigger27. The main idea of the passage is that ______________.A. The diner is a traditional, popular place to eat in the United StatesB. Samuel Johns built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come insideC. American diners serve many types of food 24 hours a day to their customersD. Diners are different from fast-food restaurants in many waysCI came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet, I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the car accident I had to see a doctor and go to court(法庭).After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury. I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.But every time I want to see doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines and it cost me $215.My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made pay him $770.Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance(保险) company the date I was leaving American. Knowing that, they played for time, and I left without getting a cent.My experience taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality（职业道德）. Secondly foreigners are still being treated unfairly. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.28. The author’s r oommate offered to help him because ------------.A.he felt sorry for the authorB.he thought it was a chance to make some moneyC.he knew the doctor was a very good oneD.he wanted the author to have a good lawyer29. The word “charge” in this passage mea ns ----------.A. be responsibleB. accuseC. ask as a priceD. claim30. Both the doctor and the lawyer in the passage are very ----------.A. friendlyB. greedyC. professionalD. busy31. What conclusion can you draw from the story?A.Going to court is something very common in AmericaB. One must very careful while driving a carC. There are more bad sides in America than good sidesD. Money is more important than other things in AmericaDNOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce ,or possibly erase(抹去),the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories."Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past."All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.32. The passage is mainly about .A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pillC. a way of erasing painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill33. The drug tested on people can .A. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. wipe out the emotional effects of memories34. We can infer from the passage that .A. people doubt the effects of the pillsB. the pill will stop people's bad experiencesC. taking the pill will do harm to people's healthD. the pill has probably been produced in America35. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2015-2016高三级期中考试英语试卷第I卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项。

（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）AParents, our first teachers, play a highly significant role in our lives．However, doesn’t it seem that many of us become to have conflicts with them when we start high school? We're less likely to listen to them and take their suggestions——we even rebel against them.Why? It may be the so-called “generation gap”. A generation gap appears when we begin to feel our parents are ignoring us, don’t understand us, and we feel we can no longer share our feelings with them.The key reason is our desire for independence. In senior high school, we start to want to take responsibility for our own lives and make our own decisions. But parents resist this. They still want to control us and try to force us to do things they think we should do. Debate and discussion often come to nothing. Gradually, we talk with them less, and keep our feelings locked up inside.Zhang Xiaoyun, 16, of Ningbo, Zhejiang, has talked less and less with her mother since she started senior high school. “She believes studies should be my priority, not my inner world,” Zhang said. “Each day, she asks me the same old questions like, ‘How was your last exam?’ or ‘Have you made any progress in physics?’” To Zhang, these questions are annoying and so she always tries to ignore them and answers perfunctorily. “Sometimes, when I get upset, I quarrel with her. After, she comes to apologize and comfort me. But I know, she doesn’t completely understand me,” Zhang said. Now, a home that was once full of laughter has fallen into gloom and silence.The generation gap can be harmful. Because of the lack of communication, our parentsno longer know what we are thinking about. There are quarrels, even over trivial things.When that happens, we may not be able to concentrate on our studies. Some of us even become afraid to go home after school——a very serious situation for the whole family.1. Which of the following is not included in the passage?A. The causes of generation gap.B. The effects of generation gap.C. One example of generation gap.D. Ways of narrowing generation gap.2. Which of the following is one reason for the generation gap according to the passage?A. Modern society changing very fast.B. Parents having unrealistic hopes of their children.C. Parents and kids not understanding and respecting each other.D. Young people liking to escape from the control of their parents.3. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word“perfunctorily”?A. attentivelyB. indifferently(冷淡地)C. flatteringly(奉承地)D. seriously4. In the view of the author, ________.A. parents should allow their children more freedomB. parents and children should not stay togetherC. the younger generation should value the older generationD. academic records are more important than one’s inner worldBDo you still get free plastic bags from the supermarkets? Things have changed.China has banned free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets, and people have to pay for using bags. The rule started on June. It came because our country tried to make litter less. Making super-thin plastic bags has also been banned.The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day, and they have1caused pollution of the environment. The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution because they are easy to break and people throw them away here and there. So the Chinese people are encouraged to bring their own bags for shopping.What kind of shopping bag is the best to bring? Some students in Anhui have a good idea. They make their own shopping bags. They use old clothes to make cloth bags, and send them to their parents as presents. They also ask their parents and friends to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones. They think it is their duty to protect the environment.5. People in China have to now.A. throw plastic bags here and thereB. collect plastic bags in the streetC. pay for using plastic bags at shops and supermarketsD. use free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets6. The Chinese people are encouraged to bring for shopping.A. no bagsB. free plastic bagsC. their own bagsD. super-thin plastic bags7. What’s the main idea of this article?A. Making super-thin plastic bags has been banned in China.B. The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution.C. Some students in Anhui begin to make their own shopping bags.D.To protect the environment, free plastic bags have been banned in China.CIn general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color,such as red or orange in a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for officers or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange and yellow are warm and that green, blue and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.8. Which of the following statements is not true?A. Sociable people like warm colors.B. Warm colors can make people excited.C. People who like to be with others don’t like red.D. Where there are warm colors, people want to be active.9. Which is the right color for different rooms?A. Red or orange for officers.B. Orange for dining rooms.C. Blue for bedrooms.D. Red for studies.10. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. It seems the reason why people think some colors are warm and others are cool.B. Warm colors remind people of warm days.C. Cool colors remind people of cool days.D. People have an agreeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
