AThere are many things we need to know that we do not learn at school. For example, if we want to use our money wisely, we need to shop carefully. We need to know how to compare the prices of the things in different shops. We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands(品牌). We need to know how to make a choice when we shop. Knowing how to make such choices is a “life skill”, and we need these skills if we are to live useful and happy lives.Some of these choices are small. For example, will I take an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I go to school by bus or on foot? Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies? Other choices are more important. For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is tastier? Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like this every day.We have to realize that the choices we make can affect（影响）the rest of our lives. Just as importantly, our choices can also affect other people. The next time you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies, think about this: Who else doesyour choice affect?56.

She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice. In November I was finally able to get her back to her “home”.Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days. When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen, she was very sad. Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy, I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!On Christmas Eve, I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church that night.Instead of taking her to my church, I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were. We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in. Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her.The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there.The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift: the smile on Alice’s face.64.

The true loveDThe American book Who Moved My Cheese has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don't be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changingfrom having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two "little people" and some cheese(奶酪).The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can't change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can't do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.68. What does the text mainly discussA. Never change in our lifeB. Change when you like to doC. Change with the changesD. Pay attention to the changes.69. The underlined word "four"(paragraph 3)refers to ______.A. Mice and little peopleB. StudentsC. CheeseD.Readers70. In our lives, we should learn from _________.A. miceB. little peopleC. ChrisD.

The book tells teens how to face changes in their livesEWhen friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time telling us they are in a hurry and looking at their watches. It isn’t that our friends are all very busy, it is just that we haven’t got a television. People think t hat we are very strange. “But what do you do in the evening?”，they are always asking. The answer is very simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly don’t spend our evenings staring at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages. This is particularly useful as we often go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and I’m always busy with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to the music and playing chess together. Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us, we just light candles and carry on with what wewere doing before. Our friends, however, are lost---no television!---So they don’t know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full ---they all come to us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and plays games.72.

中职对口高考英语模拟题库阅读理解集中练(二)

对口高考英语模拟题库：阅读理解阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分；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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AIs there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦). Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.Accept itInstead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.Stop making excuses for itYou may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.Forgive and forget itYou probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the oth er person. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.36. According to the passage, we might get angry when someone __________.A. holds us backB. forgets usC. doesn’t like usD. does hurt us37. Bitterness comes from __________.A. our health problems like heart diseaseB. the anger that lives deep inside our mindC. the person who says something that hurts usD. our relationships with friends and family members38.

The best way to deal with the bitterness is to __________.A. make the person who hurts us look badB. hate the person who hurts us very oftenC. accept that you are hurting the other personD. forgive the person who hurts us and forget itBThis August, we'll welcome guests from all over the world. Some of them follow their owncultural traditions. It’s important for us to know about them.●In many countries, such as Thailand, India and Malaysia, people believe that the left h and is unclean. So, it's not proper to use one's left hand to hold food, touch others or pass objects. Doing so may offend certain guests.●Some Westerners may be offended if you try to help them without their agreement.●People think numbers can be lucky or unlucky.

There lay my house, reduced to waist-high rains, smelly and dirty.Before the trip, I’d had my car fixed. When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill, she noticed my Louisiana license plate. “You from New Orleans?” she asked. I said I was, “No charge.” She said, and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet. The next day I went for a haircut, and the same thing happened.As my wife was studying in Florida, we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage(抵押贷款) on our ruined house. We looked at many places, but none was satisfactory. We’d began to accept that we’d have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while, when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kenn edy in California. He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for state, the online magazine and wanted to give us (“no conditions attached”) a new house across the lake from New Orleans. It sounded a good to her return, but I replied, thinking him for his exceptional generosity, then we to go back. Then the University of Florida offered to let him house to me. While he want to England on his one year, paid leave. The rent was rather reasonable. I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Kennedy, and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months.Throughout this painful experience, the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity. It’s almost worth losing you wordy p ossessions to be reminded that people really when given had a channel.44.

The author learned from his experience that .A. worldly possessions can be given up when necessaryB. generosity should be encouraged in some casesC. people benefit from their sad storiesD. human beings are kind after all.本文主要讲述作者在遭遇飓风袭击毁坏房屋之后受到很多陌生人仁慈的帮助，之后作者感悟到虽然遭遇了痛苦的经历，但是他们的爱心使他坚定了对人性的坚信。

中职对口升学英语高考复习模拟试题：阅读理解阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）第一节：阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。

AA student was one day taking a walk with his teacher. As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They were a poor farmer’s, who was working in the nearby field.The student turned to the teacher, saying: “we will hide his shoes, and hide ourselves behind those trees, and wait to see what he will do.”“My young friend,”answered the teacher, “we should never make fun of the poor. Why not put a coin in each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch?”The student did so and they both hid themselves behind the trees. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes.After putting on his coat, he put his foot into one of his shoes, and felt something hard. Then he bent (弯腰) down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Surprised, he looked at the coin, turned it around and looked at it again. He then looked around, but no person was seen. He put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe. His surprise was doubled on finding the other coin.He couldn’t control his feelings and fell to his knees, looked up to the sky and expressed his thanks. Then he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread. He said the help would save them from dying.The student stood there deeply moved, and his eyes filled with tears. “Now,”said the teacher, “Are you not much happier than if you had hidden the shoes?”56. When the student saw the shoes, he wanted to _____.A. steal themB. find their ownerC. play a joke on the ownerD. give the owner some money57. According to the passage, the teacher is _____.A. quiet and honestB. kind and friendlyC. patient and cleverD. strict and careful58. When the farmer saw the second coin, he _____.A. was very excited and gratefulB. was worried and looked up at the skyC. was surprised and decided to find the ownerD. spoke of his difficulties and asked for more help59. What can we learn from the passage?A. It is never too late to learn.B. All good things come to an end.C. Where there is a will, there is a way.D. True happiness comes from helping others.BOne of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?Listen —Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything u nless they ask you a question.Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.Help them —If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra (额外的) pencil or pen with you to classes in case (以防) they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.Be there for them — Try to make something for your friend to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest things you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mis takes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can’ t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve (值得) to be with me at my best.”Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserv e to be with them when they’re having a good time!Make plans — Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. A nd you’ll remember these things when you’re all old!60. While your friend is talking to you about his or her feelings, you should _____.A. give him or her some adviceB. just listen unless askedC. calm him or her downD. share your feelings as well61.

Protection against fire is one kind of insurance. Large numbers of people pay small sums of money to an insurance company. Although thousands of people have paid for fire insurance, only a few will lose their homes by fire. The insurance company will pay for these homes out of the small sums of money it has collected.The first modern fire insurance company was formed in London, England, in the 1760s. A great fire had just destroyed most of the city, and people wanted protection against further losses. The first company grew rapidly. Soon other companies were founded in other areas.Benjamin Franklin helped form the first fire insurance company in America in 1752, and then a new kind of insurance for farmers was suggested. The new insurance would provide protection against the loss of crops from storms.Later on another new insurance company was started in America. This company, which offered life insurance, collected small sums of money regularly from many different men. If a man died, his family was given a large sum of money.Over the years, insurance companies have offered new kinds of insurance protection. The new kinds of insurance cover losses from such accidents as car and plane crashes. Today, most people have some kind of insurance.36. Who helped set up the first company in America?A.

He is a very special individual”, said one of his students.In April 2009, Greg Perry accepted the first annual Heart of Green Local Hero Award, for his work to develop, with his high school students, the Green Dream and the Ultimate Green Classroom. At the time of the awards, he was unsteady, having just been through intense chemotherapy（化疗）. His work as a teacher is an inspiration, as is his recovery, and his acceptance speech. We’re happy to say that Greg is back in the classroom—which is a good thing for him, for his students and for the wider community. Here’s his story.At the age of 6 he was paralyzed from the neck down in an accident. He was told he would never walk, never play football and never feed himself. He proved the doctors wrong! He can do all these things and much more. His determination continues to thrive.Greg Perry graduated from Ohio State University with a joint degree in marketing and education. To him, the education degree was just a bulwark（保障）against the misfortune, so there are probably few people as surprised as Perry that before the age of 40, he would have drawn national attention for his teaching, orchestrated (精心安排) the building of a model classroom and inspired his students to launch the largest green business expo ever staged in Ohio.Perry teaches an innovative high school marketing class in Beachwood, Ohio, a city of about 12,000 in the Cleveland suburbs. Students from several area schools travel a long distance to Beachwood High School for a class unlike any other. He has led the class of 18 to create the “ULTIMATE GREEN CLASSROOM”. Under his direction the largest Eco–Friendly Showcase in Ohio was held and about $150,000 was raised in Green goods and services to build the unbelievable classroom. Elected executive officers help Perry run the class, and for much of the year, the focus is on lining of exhibitors for The Green Dream, the green business expo that is expected to draw more than 6,000 people this Spring.“Sales people are maki ng phone calls to line up exhibitors in the expo. Finance is handling the contracts and payments. Marketing and Communications and Publications and Websites are trying to promote the message.” Perry said. “It’s more like a day at work than a day at the classroom. By doing these large projects, they learn about branding, advertising, management styles and marketing techniques without every picking up the textbooks.”61．Greg Perry’s students think that ________.A．he is gifted and creative B．he is unsteady and intenseC．he deserves the award D．his business is successful 62．According to Greg Perry, ________.A．his winning for his teaching is unexpected B．his recovery is a really unexpected wonderC．education degree is a must to improve life D．the award should belong to him for his teaching63．From the passage, what is Greg Perry?A．He is a university student majoring marketing and education.B．He is a teacher of a high school in Ohio.C．He is a doctor who specializes in treating paralysis.D．He is a professor teaching in an Ohio university.64．Which of the following about Beachwood High School is true?A．It lies in the middle of the city. B．Most of the students are boarding.C．The class size is probably small. D．All the classrooms are painted green. 65．What can we learn from the text?A．Greg Perry’s classes are connected with some companies and websites.B．Greg Perry’s students never use text books in their learning at all.C．Greg Perry’s students work in workshops ra ther than in the classroom.D．Greg Perry’s students learned a lot of useful skills in an economical way.CBEING an astronaut sounds cool, doesn’t it? In space, they get to do some pretty amazing things, like floating in zero gravity.However, there are al so plenty of things that astronauts can’t do because of their weightless environment, and that’s very sad. What’s worse, they can’t even let their sadness show – because it’s impossible to cry in zero gravity.Of course, astronauts can still produce tears. But crying is much more difficult in space, reported The Atlantic in January. Without gravity, tears don’t flow downward out of the eyes like they do here on Earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go –they just stick to your eyes.In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. “Tears,” he said, “don’t fall off of your eye ... They just kind of stay there.”Besides making your vision unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But that’s not the case in space. The space environment dries out astronauts’ eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. “My right eye is painful like crazy.” Feustel told his teammate during the walk.Since gravity doesn’t work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait –“When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eye and float around,” astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic.There are lots of small things –things like crying –that we are so used to on Earth. We usually take them for granted, until they become a problem in a totally different environment, like space. There, astronauts can’t talk to each other directly. They also can’t eat or drink in normal ways. They can’t even burp (打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up (呕吐) everything in their stomach, according to the UK National Space Center.Thus, perhaps it’s only space explorers who can honestly say: “Gravity, you’re the best.”66．What can we conclude from paragraphs 2 and 3?A．Astronauts are unable to feel sad in space.B．Astronauts produce fewer tears in space.C．Tears produced in space flow down more slowly.D．Tears produced in space don’t flow downward.67．What effect do tears have on astronauts?A．They cause physical pain. B．They bring comfort to them.C．They make their vision clearer. D．They float around and cause trouble. 68．What can the astronaut do to get rid of the tears?A．Rub his eyes against his helmet to let the tears float forward.B．Rub his eyes by hand to let the tears float around.C．Get the tears big enough to fall off of his eyes.D．Get the tears big enough to break away from his eyes.69．What’s the second-to-last paragraph mainly about?A．Suggestions on how astronauts can stay comfortable in space.B．Other basic things that are difficult to do in space.C．Why burping is impossible in space.D．Things that humans can’t do without gravity.70．When of the following can be the best title for the text?A．In the sky, you can’t burp B．Better life with gravityC．In the sky, you can’t cry D．No Gravity, no tearsDWhen you meet someone for the first time, you will form an impression in your mind of that person in the first moment. Your reactions to other people, however, are really just barometers (晴雨表) for how you understand yourself. Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate yourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend to dislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we dislike.Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to illuminate (阐明;照亮) more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. On the contrary, you can view the people you judge negatively as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.To survive together peacefully with others, you will need to learn tolerance. A big challenge is to shift your perspective from judgment of others to a lifelong exploration of yourself. Your task is to assess all the decisions, judgments you make onto others and to begin to view them as clues to how you can heal yourself and become whole.Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable table manners. My first reaction was to judge him as rude and his table manners as annoying. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was embarrassed to be seen with someone how was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I was astonished to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant perceived me.Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shield against you becoming like him. My judging my lunch partner as rude does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. In the same way, extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open.When you approach life in this manner, those with whom you have the greatest dissatisfactions as well as those you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you reject and to embrace your greatest quality.71．According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A．Y ou can’t really love or hate others if they are similar to you.B．We are easily attracted by someone who is similar to us.C．Our first judgment of a person mostly comes from our personal opinion.D．The moment we see a stranger, our mind forms an impression of that person.72．We can know from the passage that the author advises people to _____________.A．avoid inappropriate manners B．learn tolerance towards others C．pay attention to others’ needs and feelings D．judge others favorably in any case 73．It can be implied from the text that ___________.A．the writer’s first reaction to the man was to judge him as offensiveB．we will need to learn tolerance to coexist with othersC．we shouldn’t focus on judging others but should constantly reflect on our ownD．the writer didn’t care about other people’s view of him74．The underlined word “objectionable” in Paragraph 4 has the closest meaning to __________.A．discouraging B．satisfying C．unpleasant D．acceptable 75．Throughout the entire story, the last paragraph serves as a(n) ______________.A．explanation B．example C．background D．conclusion阅读理解A本文为广告，主要介绍了一个叫Valley艺术中心的开设了一些课程。

AMy father was a self-taught mandolin（一种琵琶乐器）player. He was one of the best string instrument players in our town .He could not read music，but if he heard a tune a few times，he could play it. When he was young，he was a member of a small country music band. They would play at local dances and on a few occasions would play for the local radio station. He often told us how he had auditioned（试音）and earned a position in a band that featured Patsy Cline as their lead singer.Occasionally，Dad would get out his mandolin and play for the family. We three children would often sing along. Dad loved to play the mandolin for his family. He knew we enjoyed singing and hearing him play. He was like that. If he could give pleasure to others，he would，especially his family. I had to mature into a man and have children of my own before I realized how much he had sacrificed.In 1950，our family moved. Dundalk and Dad found a job at Todd Steel. One day he was involved in an accident and got the third index finger of his left hand mashed between two pieces of steel.

He felt that he could not play as well as he used to. When I came home on leave and asked him to play he would make excuses for why he couldn't play. Eventually，we would wear him down and agreed to play. For the family it didn't make any difference that Dad couldn't play as well. We were just glad that he would play.

It then caught fire. By the time we arrived，it was just a pile of ash.”The fireman added: “The entire building had to be evacuated（疏散）and there was severe smoke damage particularly in the flat where the robot had been in use. It's a mystery how it came to be started and ended up making its way to the hotplate. ”It took an hour to clean and make the building safe. The homeowner plans to sue（控告）theproducer of the robot.42.

Same with the smog,”says artist Daan Roosegaarde.His studio has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of tile capital's parks.With its skies regularly covered by dirty gray smog，Beijing this week announced a series of emergency measures to handle the problem.Roosegaarde says an indoor model device has already proven it works and is confident that the results — with the help of a team of scientists and engineers — can be replicated outside.“Beijing is quite a good place because the smog in Beijing is quite low. It lies in a valley so there's not so much wind. It's a good environment to explore this kind of thing.”“We'll be able to purify the air and the challenge is to get the top of the smog so you can see the sun again.”Roosegaarde acknowledges that projects like this are a way of drawing attention to the problem，rather than a practical solution to Beijing's awful air pollution.“This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer has to do with clean cars，different industry and different lifestyles.”However，he hopes the project will make a “fundamental statement”by allowing the city's people to realize the difference between breathing clean and smog-filled air.47. The device works by _______.A. helping keep the particles out with more masksB. pulling pollutants to the ground with an electromagnetic fieldC. absorbing hair with a balloon with staticD. creating clean air and let it out into the sky48. According to the passage，_______ .A. the Beijing government has agreed to use the technology in BeijingB. they have proven the results of the device both indoors and outdoorsC. the results of the air-cleaning device can be expectableD. the Beijing government has never done anything to handle the air pollution49. What does Roosegaarde really mean by saying “Beijing is quite a good place...”?A. The air pollution in Beijing is not quite serious.B. The weather in Beijing is good for foreigners to live in.C. Beijing is quite fit for using the air-cleaning device.D. It is easy to get the top of the smog in Beijing.50. The underlined word “replicated”in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.A. reproducedB. destroyedC. worriedD. described51. Roosegaarde appeals to people in Beijing to ________.A. pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finallyB. invent more devices to clean the smog in BeijingC. drive modern cars and try different lifestylesD. realize how serious the pollution they're facing is52. According to Roosegaarde，the smog in Beijing is mainly caused by ______.A .the climate changing of the whole worldB. the local industry，cars and lifestylesC. government's emergency measuresD. inefficiency of air-cleaning devicesDThe intelligence times provide us much convenience，but at the same time，some of our abilities are being weakened gradually.1. Memorizing phone numbersIt was annoying to remember numbers. Now we simply add them to our contacts list. That usually works well unless our device is lost，stolen，or damaged. No one can be expected to remember all their contact numbers. What we can do is memorize 5 of our most important contact numbers. This should include a mixture of family，friends and business. If you're really ambitious you can memorize 5 contacts for each category.2. Map-reading skillsThe convenience and effectiveness of GPS guidance systems and digital maps generated by search engines is unquestionable. They've definitely made our lives easier. What we don't get from using these devices and applications is the increased ability to understand spatial orientation （空间方向）and navigation.To renew or acquire those skills，try using physical maps to plan your next trip. After a few trips，you'll be pleasantly surprised with how useful a physical map can be.3. PhotographyEven amateur photography requires a basic learning about lighting，depth，and composition. This is true for digital photography. Most smart cameras automatically make these adjustments. We no longer have to learn the art of photography. On most devices，this is easily changed by turning off the automatic settings. Experiment with setting by hand the scene modes，lighting，and zoom. You just may learn that you're a “true photographer”.4. Reading comprehensionThe primary cause is E-reader. They're convenient and can store thousands of books. But there's evidence that E-reader makes it more difficult for readers to keep and recall information they just read. Don't worry! What we should do is make an effort to read printed books. This will be especially helpful when seeking information we need for academic or career purposes.5.Hand-written correspondence（通信）Writing letters and notes include hand writing skills，organizational skills，and learning about the person or persons you correspond with. This is another easily regained skill. Send a letter to an old friend，relative or acquaintance.53. What's the disadvantage by adding all numbers to the contacts list?A. We might lose all our phone numbers accidentally.B. It's hard to find the number from the contacts list.C. We may only have the ability to remember 5 numbers.D. Our device is more easily damaged or stolen.54.

Hypothermia is a condition that develops when the body cannotproduce as much heat as it releases. Signs of hypothermia include uncontrollable shaking，very slow breathing and difficulty in thinking clearly. Hypothermia can lead to death if the person does not receive help.To avoid cold-related injuries，here is a simple way to remember four basic steps to staying warm.Think of COLD—C.O.L.D.The C stands for cover. Wear a hat and scarf to keep heat from escaping through the head，neck and ears. And wear mittens instead of gloves. In gloves，the fingers are separated，so the hands might not stay as warm as they would in mittens.The O stands for overexertion（用力过度）．Avoid activities that will make you sweaty. Wet clothes and cold weather are a dangerous combination.L is for layers. Wearing loose，lightweight clothes，one layer on top of another，is better than wearing a single heavy layer of clothing. Make sure outerwear is made of material that is water-resistant and tightly knit.D is for dry. In other words，stay as dry as possible. Pay attention to the places where snow can enter clothing. These include the tops of boots，the necks of coats and the wrist areas of mittens or gloves.And here are two other things to keep in mind—one for children and the other for adults. Eating snow might be fun but it lowers the body's temperature. And drinking alcohol might makea person feel warm. But what it really does is to weaken the body's ability to hold heat.59.

中职英语高考复习模拟试题：阅读理解阅读理解（A）Pottery is the name given to all kinds of useful or artistic objects made from clay. Pottery can be plates or water pots or baskets. Pottery can be large or small, fancy or plain. Pottery is part of the large family of ceramics（陶器）.Ceramics are synthetic materials. For example, bricks and tiles (瓦片) are both ceramics.How is pottery made? First, a potter takes some clay. Clay is a soft, red material from the earth. It looks a little like red dirt, but it's very different. Clay is thick and rich. Wet clay can be worked into any shape. When the clay dries, it will keep that shape. The potters takes some clay and pushes and squeezes（挤压）it until it is soft and smooth. After that, the clay can be shaped into anything. There are several ways to shape clay. Sometimes potters use their hands. Sometimes they use a special wheel. They place the clay in the center of a round, flat wheel. The wheel moves very fast, and the potter shapes the clay.After the potter has shaped the clay, it can be decorated(装饰). Potters use glaze, which is a kind of paint, to decorate their work. Some glazes are very simple. Other glazes have beautiful colors and designs. The glaze is not just beautiful. It is also useful. The glaze makes the pottery smooth and waterproof. Potters also make some decorative lines and designs on the surface. After it is decorated, the clay must be baked, or fired, in a special oven.Baking the clay at very high temperature makes it hard and strong. Firing also makes the glaze stick to the pottery. When the firing is over, the potter carefully removes the pottery from the oven and lets it cool slowly. If it cools too quickly, it could crack and break.Since pottery is waterproof, it is very popular for dishes. You can find examples of pottery in almost any home. But pottery can also be found in museums. Some pieces of pottery are valuable and beautiful pieces of art.56. It is possible that ceramics are materials of _______ .A. metalB. plasticC. woodD. earth57. The word "waterproof" means _______ .A. 能盛水的B. 防水的C. 溶解于水的D.吸水性强的58. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. Plates, water pots and bowls are all examples of pottery.B. Wet clay can be made into anything of different shapes by the hands or a special wheel.C. The clay becomes smooth and waterproof because of the glaze.D. After the firing in high temperature, pottery is easy to break.（B）People in cities all over the world shop in supermarkets. When you enter the supermarket, you see shelves full of food. You walk in the aisles, pushing your shopping cart. You probably hear soft, slow music in the supermarket. This kind of music is playing to relax you and make you walk slowly. Thus, you will probably stay longer and buy more food.Where do you go in the supermarket when you first arrive? Many people go to the meat section first. This area of the store has many different kinds of meat. Some kinds are expensive and othersare not. Usually, some kinds of meat are on sale. So it has a special low price. The manager of the store knows where the customers usually enter the meat section. The meat on sale is usually at the other end of the section, away from where the customers enter. If you want to buy this specially priced meat, you have to walk by the more expensive meat first. Maybe you will see something that you want to buy before you reach the cheaper, inexpensive meat. Then you will spend more money in the meat section.The diary section sells milk that is low in fat. Some supermarkets sell three different containers （包装盒）of low-fat milk. Each container looks different, but each contains the same product. One says "1% fat", one says "99% fat free" and one says "low-fat" in big letters and "1%"in very small letters. If you look carefully you can see that all the milk has the same amount of fat, and each container is the same size. The prices of all these three should be the same. However, in many stores these three containers of milk would each have a different price. The store will make more money if a customer chooses the milk that costs the most.Most of the food in supermarkets is very attractive. People often stop to look at the products in attractive containers. But remember, many products will say, "Buy me!". Stop and think which ones are the best value for your money.59. The word "aisles" in the first paragraph means _______ .A. the entrance of a supermarketB. the place where you pay for your goodsC. the way between the shelvesD. the place where the special priced meat is on sale.60. When you walk by the expensive meat, _______ .A. maybe you will buy someB. you will not look at itC. you will buy diary productsD. maybe it is on sale61. The three different kinds of low-fat milk _______ .A. contain three different amount of milkB. contain three different kinds of milkC. each have the same amount of fatD. are all the same price62. Supermarket managers make the food attractive so _______ .A. it is cheapB. the customers will buy moreC. it is expensiveD. it is in the diary section（C）American parents usually think that their child should not have more pocket money than the children with whom he regularly connects no matter they are wealthier or not than he.Whatever the pocket money is, its entire use is not controlled by the parents, because a child learns to use money correctly only through dealing with it himself. If a seven-year-old child gets a quarter as a week pocket money and is made to put it all in his piggy bank to save it up, he gets no idea what the real use for the money is. He gets the shiny coins and they soon disappear. The idea of a bank account(在银行开户) is too early for so small a child, although he can be madeunderstand and enjoy saving his coins-not all of them, only a part of what he receives-to buy something he especially wants. By the time he is eight, he is old enough to take part in the opening of his own savings account, parents may take him to the bank, open a saving account for him, and encourage him to put a certain quantity(数量) of money he receives as gifts into the bank and watch his bank saving grow as entry by entry(存入)is made. He will be saving, earning, and spending suitable quantities all along in order to learn how to manage money and to keep him in a favorable position with his friends. The boy is a sorry child who can't join his fellows in a sweet shop once in a while because he has to save every cent he gets or earns for some big unknown projects his parents have chosen for him.63. What does the underlined word "piggy bank" refer to?A. Something in the shape of a pig for saving coins.B. A kind of bank run by the children.C. A bank whose building looks like a pig.D. A bank for children's saving.64. Which of the following statement is NOT true?A. Whatever the pocket money is, its entire use is not controlled by American parents.B. If an eight-year-old child receive 10 dollars as his birthday gift, he probably have most of it saved in the bank.C. American parents never interfere(干涉) with their children's use of their pocket money.D. American parents don't usually give their children much pocket money.65. Why does the author think the boy is a sorry one if he saves every cent he gets or earns?A. Because he can not manage his money and it keeps him in an unfavorable position.B. Because he can not learn the use of money through spending it himself.C. Because he can not have any other choice but to save, earn or spend money.D. Because he can not join the fellow in a sweet shop once in while.56-60 DBDCA61-65 CBACA。

He jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrin kled”. Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever”. David says, “and I need to feel comfortable”.[2]More and more companies are allowing their office workers to _________ in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday. This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “Wha t started out as an extra one-day-a –week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” Said business consultant Maisly Jones.[3]Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easi er for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “Many young people don’t want to dress up for work”, says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code”. Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee motivation. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “ Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day”, one person said”, For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual c lothes”.56.Why does David Smith wear casual clothes now?(no more than 8 words)___________________________________________________________________ 57.

This past school year, my eldest daughter's teacher did not assign too much homework, and often gave the kids extra time during class to get it done. Meanwhile, my daughter's dear friend —who attends the same school and is in the same grade —struggled nightly with her lengthy homework assignments. She had work to do every night, extra projects to complete, and assignments to complete over holiday break.[2] So which was the lucky kid? Some might argue that my child was — she had more time to play, and spent less time stressing over assignments. Others might feel that my child was missing out on a key element of her education by not having what she was learning during the school day reinforced.[3] To be honest, I'm not really sure which camp I'm in, but it's debates like this one that have sparked a homework revolution between parents and schools all over the country. A New York Times article reported that the school district in Galloway, N.J., is considering a proposal to limit weeknight homework to 10 minutes for each year of school — 20 minutes for second-graders, 30 minutes for third-graders, etc. —and ban assignments on weekends, holidays and school vacations. The school district in Pleasanton, Calif., is looking at a similar proposal. __________, other schools around the country are introducing homework-free holidays, no-homework nights, and goal-work — instead ofhomework — that can be completed throughout the school day.[4] Most of these changes are in response to annoyed parents who see lengthy homework assignments competing with what little family time they have each day. The documentary "Race To Nowhere" spurred（激起）more debate by highlighting the unnecessary pressure on kids in today's educational system.56. What is the text mainly about? (no more than 8 words)57.

It was just total panic.”Today, music schools are paying attention to the problem of anxiety in classes that deal with performance techniques and career preparation. There are a variety of skills that musicians can learn to fight stage fright and its symptoms: icy fingers, shaky hands, racing heart, and blank mind.“Take two deep breaths, open up your shoulders, then smile,” says doctor Diane Nichols, who suggests some ways of dealing with anxiety for the moments beforeperformance. “Then choose three friendly faces in the audience, people you would communicate with and make music to, and make eye contact(接触) with them.” She doesn’t want performers to think of the audience as a judge.Extreme demands by teachers or parents are often at the root of stage fright, says Dorothy DeLay, a well-known violin teacher. She tells other teachers to demand only what their students are able to achieve.It is not only young artists who suffer, of course. The well-known pianist Cladimir Horowitz’s stage fright was famous. The great singer Draco Corelli is another example. “They had to push him on stage,” singer Renata S cotto said.Actually, success can make things worse. “In the beginning of your career, when you’re scared to death, nobody knows who you are, and they don’t have any expectations,” famous singer June Anderson said. “There’s less to lose.

It means getting new school bags and books, and seeing friends again after the summer holiday.My oldest son, 9-year-old Salem, asked me several times where we would go to buy a backpack, while my other son, 6-year-old Abdullah, asked what school would be like this year.For the last three years, school was a nightmare for many children and their parents as violence increased and there were more attacks on schools and teachers. As a result, many parents prevented their children from going to school. One of six children in this country did not attend primary school in 2009. Many kids who did attend school were accompanied by a parent for the entire day to make sure nothing happened to their children.For poor families or those with large families, back to school can be an expensivetime. The government gives some help to those living in poor neighborhoods, and school bags, note books and other items(商品) are given for free.Most of the merchants who sell notebooks and pens now sell their products out on the street instead of in stores. They sit on the ground and lay their items on the ground or they have a small table to sell their goods.The bags cost between $10 and $20, while clothes and shoes cost between $20 and $30. I found all the things I needed for my sons and even bought something for myself. I spent about $50 on each of them, including school uniforms.At the end of the day, we returned to our home carrying many shopping bags filled with items that made my children happy and excited to go back to school. I just hope this school year will be a peaceful one.46．The author’s children are ________ to go to school.A. eagerB. afraidC. unwillingD. surprised47．The underlined word “nightmare” is the closest in meaning to ________.A. fantasyB. dream worldC. prisonD. terrible situation48．Many children are not going to school mainly because of ________.A. the terrible education systemB. security problems and povertyC. parents’ distrust in schoolsD. the government’s inability49．As a parent, the author ________.A. is unable to afford his kids’ school ingB. is unwilling to send his kids to schoolC. hopes his kids have a happy school lifeD. complains school education costs too much50.

School bags, note books and other items(商品) are given to those living in poor neighborhoods for free.C. The author spent about $100 for her two sons.D. The items the author bought made her children happy and excited to go back to school.DWhat will man be like in the future-in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald. Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with use. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.51. The passage mainly tells us that ________.A. man's life will be different in the futureB. future man will look quite different from usC. man is growing taller as time passesD. man will disappear52. What serves as the evidence（证据）that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.B. Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.C. Man's arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.53. The change in man's size of forehead is probably because ________.A. he makes use only 20 % of the brain's capacityB. his brain has grown larger over the past centuriesC. he will use his brain more and more as time goes onD. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time54. What is true about a human being in the future?A. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.B. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them.D. He thinks and feels in different way.55. We can infer that _______.A. human beings will become less attractive in the future.B. future life is always predictableC. human beings hope for a change in the future lifeD. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its becoming worse阅读理解36-55 DDBCB BDCCB ADBCA BDCBD。

AImagine you are on a cold mountain with steep rocks around. As you climb higher, the air gets thinner and the sun’s rays stronger. Just before you reach the sno wline, you find what you came for -- a small white flower, the edelweiss（火绒草）, which only grows in alpine（高山的）areas.Plants face many Challenges living in alpine areas, and only 200 kinds of plants can grow there. Plants rely on oxygen, water, and sunlight to make their own food through the process of photosynthesis（光合作用）. The alpine means less CO2, which makes the process more difficult. It also brings plants closer to the sun. The sunlight is so strong that it can burn a plant’s leaves. There is little wa ter here, so the soil is dry and rocky. You also won’t find high trees because the cold wind would blow them over!Alpine plants have advantages that help them survive the bad conditions. Like all alpine plants, the edelweiss stays close to the ground to avoid the wind. The cold water is deep under-ground, so the edelweiss grows very deep roots. Its leaves have a thick covering, which protects the plant from the wind and the sun’s bright rays. All these special Characteristics help it grow, but very slowly.The edelweiss can live in the conditions, but humans can’t. Climbing in the high and cold mountains is dangerous and difficult. This is why the edelweiss became such a special flower. Long ago, a young man would pick an edelweiss flower to prove his love to a girl, although it was risky. Many men died while trying. Getting the flower proved that the man was physically strong, brave, and devoted.Alpine plants can’t spread seeds, so it’s difficult for new plants to grow. Once all the edelweiss flowers are gone in an area, they will not re--grow. Governments help protect the edelweiss because it is considered an endangered plant.56. The first two paragraphs mainly describe ________.A. the process of photosynthesisB. the appearance of the edelweissC. the growing environment of the edelweissD. the challenge of mountain climbing57. The edelweiss can survive in the alpine conditions partly because ________.A. it grows high and strongB. it can get more sunlightC. its leaves’ covering is thinD. its deep roots can get water58. What can we learn about the edelweiss from the text?A. It is planted in large quantities.B. It is a symbol of bravery.C. It is a shade--loving plant.D. It spreads its seeds by wind.59. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce a special flower.B. To compare different alpine plants.C. To warn people not to pick flowers.D. To encourage people to protect plants.BAlmost no one can resist a good mystery novel or detective novel, so these novels sellthousands of copies each year. And many readers regard famous mystery author Agatha Christie as Queen of Crime, whose stories are known for their tense atmosphere and strong psychological suspense and have a great effect on the English mystery novels.Christie was born in September 1890 in England. When she was growing up, her mother often told her stories. Christie loved these stories, which took her into a wo rld of fantasy. Christie’s mother also encouraged her to write from a young age and also took her to travel a lot.She married Archie Christie in 1914 at the beginning of World War Ⅰ. During the war, Christie wrote her first detective story; The Mysterious Affair at Styles. She chose the crime, and then invented a detective named Hercule Poirot, ranking second to Sherlock Holmes, to solve it. She sent the book to a publisher, but it was rejected.After the war ended, Christie sent her book to more publishers, and finally, in 1920, one published it. She earned just $ 25 for it. Over the next few years, Christie wrote more books and short stories, gaining experience as a writer. In spite of her literary success, life was not going well at home. In 1928, Archie and Agatha got a divorce（离婚）. A short time later, she met a young archaeologist, Max Mallowan, After getting married in 1930, they began to spend some time each year in the Middle East, which provided settings for some of Christies novels, such as Murder at the vicarage（1930）, Murder on the orient Express （1934）and Death on the Nile（1939）.Christie continued writing for the rest of her life. When she died in January 1976, readers around the world mourned（哀悼）her death. But her tales of mystery continue to be loved by new generations of readers. They’ve been translated into hundreds of languages and are selling, well today and outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare in Britain.60. As a whole, this text ________.A. is a biography of Agatha ChristieB. promotes Agatha Christie’s novelsC. explains how Agatha Christie became a writerD. is a review of Agatha Christie’s novels61. What do we know about Hercule Poirot?A. He was better known than Sherlock Holmes.B. He made Christie become famous.C. He was good at catching criminals.D.

From the underlined sentence “outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare in Britain”, we canlearn that ________.A. the Bible helps her works to sell in BritainB. the sales of her works rank third in BritainC. the works of Shakespeare doesn’t sell better than hers in BritainD. their sales are equally good in Britain63. Which is the right order for what Agatha Christie experienced?①She had her first detective novel published.②She finished The Mysterious Affair at Styles.③Her mother encouraged him to write.④Her marriage to Archie ended in divorce.⑤She wrote Murder on the Orient Express.A. ③②④①⑤B. ③①②⑤④C. ②①③⑤④D. ③②①④⑤CBeaches First Annual Easter Fun RunSUNDAY MARCH 31, 2013Our race is in the Poronto Beaches--on the Boardwalk, by Woodbine Bathing Station West of the Olympic Pool （East of Lakeshore Blvd East and Coxwell Ave）.· Kids can Choose from 3 km or 6 km distances.· Adults 6 km only.· Kids receive an Easter gift bag at the finish line.· Easter costumes are recommended.Register OnlineRegistration is on now and closes Wednesday March 27 at 6 pm.Course: Start and finish are at the Woodbine Bathing Station.START 6 km at 9∶00 am.START 3 km at 9∶05 am.Event Pricing:· Single Entry（参赛）$ 30· Family of 4 $ 80· Additional family member $ 20 （Must be part of the same family. ）· One parent and one child $ 40Costumes:We highly recommend that all racers wear their Easter costumes.

But Lee Gray, PhD of America, has made it hisbusiness to examine this overlooked form of public transport. “The lift becomes this interesting social space wher e manners are sort of strange, ”Gray told the BBC, “They are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want —it’s your own little box.If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally（对角线地）across from each other to create distance.When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.New comers to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple — look down, or look at your phone.Why are we so awkward in lifts?“You don’t have enough space,” Professor Renneberg, a German psychologist, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators. The easiest way not to be awkward is to avoid eye contact.”67. According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _________.A. turn around and greet one anotherB. look around or examine their phoneC. make eye contact with those in the elevatorD. try to keep a distance from other people68. Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two peoplein an elevator?69. The underlined phrase “size up” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _______.A. judgeB. ignoreC. put up withD. make the best of70. The best title of the passage is probably ________.A. How to Enjoy Ourselves in Lifts?B. Why Do We Feel Awkward in Lifts?C. A Strange Lift Ride.D. A New Research on Lifts.。

AA Koala Isn’t a BearKoalas remind people of teddy bears. They have thick fur and large ears. Their broad, flat nose makes them look cute, similar to teddy bears. In fact k oalas aren’t cute. They have sharp teeth and very sharp claws! Koalas are marsupials. This means the mother carries her baby in a pocket while it develops, similar to a kangaroo. The baby koala lives in its mother’s pocket for the first six months of its life.The name “koala” comes from a native Australian word that means “no drink.” The koalas get almost all their water from the eucalyptus(桉树) leaves they eat. That’s where they get their food too. Koalas eat only eucalyptus leaves, and only the leaves of certain eucalyptus trees. The eucalyptus trees are where the koalas live. It’s also where they sleep. Koalas sleep about nineteen hours a day!Why do they sleep so much? Some people think it’s because they’re lazy. But koalas aren’t lazy. They sleep so much because there isn’t much nutrition in eucalyptus leaves. Koalas store hardly any fat, so they must save their energy. One way to do this is to move slowly and sleep a lot.After a day of sleeping they like to move around and eat just after sunset. They live alone most of the time. Koalas are very protective of their trees. If a koala sees another koala eating in its favorite tree, it might tell the other koala to leave by “barking” at it.Koalas do “talk” to each other. Besides barks, the males make a deep grunting sound. The mothers and babies talk in soft clicking sounds. If they get scared they may scream like a baby.56. According to the article, how are koalas and kangaroos alike?A. They both have thick fur.B. They both have sharp teeth.C. They both eat eucalyptus leaves.D. They both carry their young in a pocket.57. The word “koala” comes from a word that means _______.A. no drinkB. moving slowlyC. large earsD. barking loudly58. Why do koalas sleep a lot?A. Their babies need to get much rest.B. They get tired from playing so much.C. Their food does not give them much energy.D. They do not like to be awake when it is warm.59. If an adult koala screams like a baby, he may get ________.A. worriedB. scaredC. hungryD. sleepyBGlendale City Parks RangerClubWelcome to the Glendale City Parks Ranger Club.

He felt proud, excited, and happy—and also a little nervous about whether his essay would win.Ben’s local newspaper had advertised a contest inviting students to submit essays in honor of a remarkable teacher. The newspaper would choose the five best essays and print them in the paper. As soon as Ben heard about the contest, he knew he wanted to write about Mrs. Gruen.Mrs. Gruen was always so friendly and patient, and she always had something encouraging to say to her students. Even more importantly, she knew how to make science interesting and enjoyable. Before being in her class, Ben would have said he was uninterested in science, but now science was his favorite subject.At first, Ben had struggled with his essay. After he finished his first draft, he asked his older sister, Hannah, to review it. Eventually, after many more revisions, the essay was ready to mail. As Ben stood before the mailbox, he imagined how surprised Mrs. Gruen would be to open the newspaper and see her name in print.When the big day finally came, Ben opened the newspaper and eagerly studied the columns of print for the essay he had written. He did not see his essay anywhere. He turned through all of the pages, but it was not there! Instead, he saw five other essays talking about five other teachers. Ben felt like a balloon that had suddenly lost all its air.A few days later in science class, Mrs. Gruen asked Ben to stay after class for a few minutes. “Your sister stopped by yesterday,” Mrs. Gruen told Ben. “She brought me the most wonderful gift.” Ben saw that Mrs. Gruen was holding a copy of his essay. “You have no idea how much it means to me that you enjoy my class and think I’m a good teacher. No reward or honor could ever be greater than this essay,” said Mrs. Gruen.“OK,” Ben said, “I meant everything I wrote.” Then he stepped into th e hallway with his head held high.64. When Ben read the five essays in print, he felt _____.A. surprisedB. disappointedC. annoyedD. nervous65. What did Mrs. Gruen think of Ben’s essay?A. It built up her reputation.B. It was a great honor to her.C. It helped Ben make progress.D.It deserved to win an award.66. From the passage, we can learn that Mrs. Gruen _____.A. got great achievements in scienceB. educated many outstanding studentsC. encouraged her students in writing contestsD. developed her students’ interest in scienceDCan a Language Become Extinct?A language can become extinct when the last person who can speak it passes away. Or more likely when the second-last person who speaks it dies because then there is no one left to talk to. According to linguists (语言学家) there is nothing unusual about a single language dying out. But what is happening today is quite remarkable. According to the recent statistics, there are approximately 6,000 languages in the world as we speak. Of these, about half are going to die out in the next century.There are several reasons as to why a language can eventually die out. These range from natural disasters, such as hurricanes, to sociological factors, like cultural assimilation, in which the culture of a minority group is gradually replaced by a stronger one. The former can cause tribes to leave their natural habitat(栖息地) and therefore become fewer and fewer in number. However, it doesn’t happen very frequently. In fact, the latter is a much bigger threat and it is responsible for the extinction of a lot of languages in countries like the USA and Australia. For instance, Chemehuevi is one of the languages which is really close to dying out since its sole speaker is an old, yet healthy, man named Johnny Hill, Jr.It is very important for as many languages as possible to be preserved. Scientists have been trying to rais e people’s awareness on how certain tribes have specific words which cannot be expressed in let’s say English simply because there is no equal meaning. Namely, the Yupik of Alaska have 99 names to describe different layers of ice formation, or how the Tofa of Siberia classify reindeer (驯鹿). In other words, when languages die out, mankind’s wisdom reduces.On a happier note, there are many famous cases which show what can be done to preserve languages in danger of extinction. In particular, the Maori in New Zealand have created so-called “language nests”: organizations which help children under five learn the language. They provide them with a setting where they are exposed to the language intensively so that they get to realise that communicating in Maori is as natural as communicating in English. There is always, of course, the risk that the children won’t keep the language alive after they have left their “nests”. Nevertheless, hope dies hard.67. What most probably caused the death of languages in the USA and Australia?A. Habitats were lost.B. Natural disasters struck.C. Native cultures disappeared.D. Foreign languages were spoken.68. In Paragraph 3, the author states his opinion by ______.A. listing definitionsB. providing examplesC. presenting causes and effectsD. comparing with other opinions69. What does the author really intends to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Attempts may not produce the desired effect.B. Environment is important in language protection.C. People can do little about a language’s extinction.D. Measures should be taken in spite of difficulties.70. The author believes that _____.A. all languages are finally going to die outB. human wisdom can be reflected in languagesC. the protective approaches have proved ineffectiveD. the current situation of languages hardly requires attention第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AFirst lady’s campaign brings changeWASHINGTON (AP) — Wal-Mart（沃尔玛）is putting special labels（标签）on some products to help shoppers quickly notice healthier ones. Millions of schoolchildren are helping themselves to vegetables from salad bars in their lunchrooms, and kids’ meals at Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants come with a side of fruit or vegetables and a glass of low-fat milk.These changes are taking place due to the campaign against childhood fatness, for which the first lady Michelle Obama began fighting three years ago.Fatness has become a serious problem in the country. About one-third of U.S. children are overweight, which puts them at increased risk for any number of deadly illnesses, including high blood pressure and heart disease.Still, Mrs. Obama faces challenge. Not everyone welcomes her effort. Some blame her for going too far and say she has no right to tell what people should a nd shouldn’t eat. But nutrition supporters and others praise her for using her influence to help bring interests to the table. They said the first lady has raised public awareness about fatness, which will help decrease childhood fatness rates.There is evidence of small decrease in childhood fatness rates in some parts of the country. New York reported a 5.5 percent drop in fatness rates in kindergarteners through eighth-graders between the 2006-07 and 2010-11 school years. In Philadelphia, the drop was 4.7 percent among students in grades K-12.Fighting against children fatness is hard work, but it’s well worth the effort. The first lady is planning a promotional tour. She has been talking up the campaign against childhood fatness on daytime and late-night TV shows and on the radio. She also plans discussions next week on Google and Twitter.“We’ve been spending a lot of time educating and re-educating families and kids on how to eat, what to eat,” the first lady said. “We’re starting to see some changes and we’re starting to show some improvement.”56. What is the purpose of the campaign started by the first lady?A. To call on healthy eating.B. To reduce childhood fatness rate.C. To show the harm caused by fatness.D. To educate people how to avoid illness.57. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The popularity of healthy food.B. The importance of balanced diet.C. Children’s preference for vegetables.D. The changes brought out by the campaign.58. What can we learn from the passage about Mrs. Obama??A. She is an expert in healthy eating.B. She has won support of the whole nation.C. She shows great concern about childhood fatness.D. She makes good use of media to increase her influence.BMrs. Squirrel and I Negotiated TermsI was sitting in the room reading when I heard a loud noise. To defend my home from break-in, I picked up my defense weapon--- a broom and went out. There on the roof of my porch （门廊）, I saw a grey fluffy squirrel. I drove her away with the broom, but the next day I heard her again.I searched squirrels on the net and found because their teeth keep growing, they have to constantly chew on things to shorten their teeth. This was disturbing so I asked my husband to call in some wildlife control people.On Monday morning two men showed up, with guns in their hands. I pointed uneasily to the hole in my porch roof. They held up their guns. Suddenly I saw in my mind the baby nursery inside. I stopped them and confirmed that they wouldn’t harm her. They hesitated, but finally put down their guns. Then they brought out a bottle of deodorizer（除臭剂）and sprayed it into the squirrel’s home. They told me she would not like the smell and would leave.There was no sign of Mrs. Squirrel, so they blocked the hole, took my cheque for $250 and left.Shortly after they left, Mrs. Squirrel returned from her shopping trip. She was mad at being driven out and began feverishly clawing at the porch roof. In order to stop the destruction of my home, I drove her away with the broom again.Each day thereafter, Mrs. Squirrel continued her attack on my possession. I then called the company to report that “SHE’S BAAAAAACK…” The receptionist said that if Mrs. Squirrel had managed to find another way into my p orch roof, it would be a new charge. I replied I couldn’t continue contributing my husband’s hard-earned income to their silly wildlife experts and hang up.I went to the porch and banged on the roof. Mrs. Squirrel came out and glared at me. We negotiated some terms, came to an agreeable arrangement and went back into our respective homes.All is quiet these days, although large quantities of materials have been removed from my garage wall and my daughter claims that some of her doll-house furniture has disappeared. I still hope that Mrs. Squirrel would leave, but I will wait until it is warmer and hopefully until after the birth of the little ones.59. What did the author think of the squirrel at first?A. Troublesome.B. Dangerous.C. Interesting.D. Clever.60. Why didn’t the author ask the wildlife control people to come again?A. She worried about the safety of the squirrel.B. She thought the company charged too much.C. She decided to drive away the squirrel herself.D. She doubted the ability of the wildlife control people.61. What can we learn from the passage?A. Getting rid of the squirrel needs patience.B. The squirrel has destroyed the author’s house.C. The author has developed affection for the squirrel.D. The author singed an agreement with Mrs. Squirrel.62. The author has written the passage in a (an) ________ way.A. persuasiveB. seriousC. informativeD. amusingCBefore my first summer vacation at college, my roommate Ted asked to me to work with him on his father’s farm in Argentina. The idea of spending two months in Argentine was exciting. Then I began having second thoughts. I had never been far from New England, and I had been homesick my first few weeks at college. What would it be like in a strange country? What about the language? The more I thought about it, the more the idea worried me.In the end I turned down the invitation. As soon as Ted asked somebody else to go, I began kicking myself. I had turned down something I wanted to do because I was scared, and had ended up feeling depressed. That unhappy summer taught me a valuable lesson out of which I developed a rule for myself: do what makes you anxious; don’t do what makes you depressed.At the end of my senior year, I began to think about becoming a writer. But my professor was urging me to aim at teaching. I hesitated. The idea of trying to live by writing was a lot scarier than spending a summer in Argentina. Back and forth I went, making my decision, unmaking it. Suddenly I realized that every time I gave up the idea of writing, that downhearted feeling went through me.Giving up on what I really wanted to do depressed me. Right then I learned another lesson. To avoid that kind of depression meant having to bear a certain amount of worry and concern.When I first began writing articles, I was frequently required to interview big names. Before each interview I would get butterflies in the stomach and my hands would shake. One person I particularly admired was the great composer Duke Ellington. On the stage and on television, he seemed the very model of confidence. Then I learned Ellington still got stage fright. If the highly honored Ellington, who had appeared on the bandstand some 10,000 times over 30years, had anxiety attacks, who was I to think I could avoid them? I went on doing those frightening interviews. Then I realized to my astonishment that I was even looking forward to the interviews. What had happened to those butterflies?Well, in truth, they were still there, but there were fewer of them. I had benefited, I discovered, from a process psychologists call “extinction”. If you put an individual in an anxious situation often enough, he will eventually learn that there isn’t anything to be worried about, which brings me t o a conclusion: you’ll never get rid of anxiety by avoiding the things that caused it.The point is that the new, the different, is definitely scary. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.63. We can infer from the passage that the author________.A. finds it difficult to make decisionB. has found out what causes anxietyC. was inspired by Duke Ellington’s stage frightD. no longer feels anxious about new experiences64. The underl ined word “extinction” in Paragraph 6 means ________.A. a person’s gradual loss of confidenceB. the natural development of a child’s abilitiesC. the inborn tendency to avoid anxious situationsD. the process of losing fear by keeping facing anxiety65. Which of the following opinions does the author probably accept?A. Hesitation leads to depression.B. Anxiety can be a positive driveC. Avoiding anxiety reduces depression.D. Depression is a signal that one is growing up.66. What’s t he best title of the passage?A. Confidence: Key to SuccessB. Anxiety: Challenge by Another NameC. Depression: A Psychological PhenomenonD. Success: A Trip Through Anxiety and DepressionDStore shelves are filling up with so-called “green” produ cts promising to benefit the environment. A recent argument shows that it can be as difficult for buyers to confirm such statement as for producers to defend them.The argument concerns the GreenPlug Electricity Saver. The GreenPlug is supposed to prevent energy waste by electrical equipment whose constant -speed motors operate at less full load---as is especially true of older refrigerators. Research showed that such motors can be made to do the same work with less heat, noise, and power consumption just by lowering the voltage（电压）of the power supply.John and Wyck Hay, started Green Technologies to apply that finding to home appliances. In the USA, there are more than 140 million refrigerators in use, accounting for an average of 16% of the household electric bill.Two years of research resulted in the GreenPlug. Connecting between wall socket and refrigerator, the equipment contains a minicomputer that gives a motor full power (120 volts on average) for start-up, then reduces the power to 106 volts.Older refrigerators are the most overpowered and, thus, save the most energy with a GreenPlug. Refrigerators less than two years old are already energy-saving that a GreenPlug actually makes them waste electricity.The higher the voltage, the larger the difference a GreenPlug makes.Higher power costs shorten the payback time. The population-weighted national average is 10 cents per kilowatt-hour. But some residents in Washington State pay 1.5 cents. Some in Alaska pay 41.6 cents.Then come highly individual household differences like the number of children or refrigerator-opening age. All in all, the GreenPlug should save the average consumer $20 a year.Although the GreenPlug lowered the voltage as it was designed to do,Consumer Reports , an influential magazine,questioned how quickly---if ever---electricity savings due to the plug would repay its cost. People would be better off buying a new, high-efficiency refrigerator, the magazine advised.Consumer Reports also said that the GreenPlug didn’t give a p romised 25% savings worth $50 a year. The savings on the oldest model was the best at 8.6%, worth $20 a year.Green Technologies ordered tests of the GreenPlug on up to 2,800 refrigerators through next year. The company will not put that data in stores. Instead, potential buyers will call to learn how their model of refrigerator performed.Meanwhile, there is little evidence of consumer dissatisfaction. Sales topped 45,000 units last month. The return rate is less than 0.2%.67. The GreenPlug on store shelves are due mostly to __________.A. an increased concern about the environmentB. a demand for money-saving technologyC. the high cost of electrical powerD. the shortage of power supply68. What do we know about the GreenPlug?A. It is especially designed for old refrigeratorsB. It works well with all home appliancesC. It can’t guarantee lower electric billsD. It doesn’t function with lower voltage69. In the GreenPlug argument, the magazine Consumer Reports __________.A. advocates for the GreenPlugB. suggests Green Technologies never tell the truthC. doubts the effect of the GreenPlugD. informs the public of different opinions70. We can infer from the passage that the author ___________.A. feels optimistic about the future of GreenPlug.B. believes the GreenPlug has cheated customers.C. holds an objective attitude to the issue.D. encourages further investigation.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共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。

AThe clothes you wear. The food you eat. The color of your bedroom walls. Where you go and how you get there. The people you hang around with. What time you go to bed. What do th ese things have in common? You’re asking. They’re just a few examples of many hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child.As a kid, you didn’t have a say in everything; your parents made decisions about everything from the cereal you ate in the morning to the pajamas you wore at night. And it’s a good thing, too—kids need this kind of protection on their own.But finally, kids grow up and become teens. And part of being a teen is developing your own identity—one that i s separate from your parents’. But as you change and grow into this new person who makes his own decisions, your parents have a difficult time adjusting (调整).In most families, it is this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents. And issues like the type of friends you have or your attitudes to partying can cause bigger arguments, because your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe, no matter how old you are.The good news about fighting with your parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions. It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles, though. In the meantime, focus on communicating with your parents.Sometimes this can feel impossible—like they just don’t see your point of view and never will.

But it was not until the early 1800s that man found a way to make the pictures permanent. Even then, photography was a new field. Most families had their pictures taken by a photographer. People did not own cameras because taking pictures and developing the film were too difficult.In 1884, George Eastman changed photography by inventing a kind of film that fit into a small camera. Because the new film was easy to use, many people began to buy cameras. When they had used up their film, people returned their cameras to the factory. There, the film was developed, and pictures were printed. Then more film was put into the cameras, which was sent back to the owners, along with their pictures.Eastman’s camera made it easy to take pictures. Today’s cameras are even easier to use, and people can put in their own film. Photography has become a growing hobby.There are also many new jobs in the field of photography. One of the most important kinds of work is in news reporting. Newspapers, magazines, and television all need pictures to tell their stories. Photographers aid scientists by taking pictures through microscopes and telescopes. Deep-sea divers take pictures of ocean plants and animals, while astronauts take cameras into space.

We think of it as a candy, but once it was a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes it is an ingredient in the main course of a meal. Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices like chili peppers.Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree, The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say“Ugh！”and run away. Workers must first dry and then roast the beans. This removes the bitter taste.The word“chocolate”comes from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico. They valued the cacao tree. Some used the beans for money, while others crushed them to make a drink.When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century, they started drinking cacao too. Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine. No one had the idea of adding sugar. The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes. Wealthy people drank cacao and said it was good for digestion.In the 1800s, the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugraremoved the bitter taste of cacao. It quickly became a cheap and popular drink. Soon afterwards, a factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate. Later on, another factory mixed milk and chocolate together.

People use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop."In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile."People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. "How far away is the post office?" you ask. "Oh," they answer, "it's about five minutes from here." You say, "Yes, but how many miles away is it?" They don't know.It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, 'Sorry, I have no idea." But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don't know." People in Yucatan believe that "I don't know" is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!51.
