AHaving experienced a shocking electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, James Franco’s world became completely dark and quiet for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up 20 minutes later, lying face down in muddy water. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a tree and a muddy road. When Mrs. Franco came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of James regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a compellent answer as to why this should happen. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since James lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.21. The reason why James attempted to kill himself was that _________.A. a terrible electrical accident happened to himB. nobody in the world cared about himC. he was struck by the lightning once moreD. he had to live in a dark and silent world22. What was James doing when he was struck by the lightning?A. Putting an end to his lifeB. Sheltering from the rain under a treeC. Taking a walk with a stickD. Lying on the ground23. What does the underlined word “compellent” in paragraph 3 mean?A. convincingB. wrongC. unexplainedD. true24. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. A Terrible Electrical AccidentB. What a Sudden ShockC. An Unforgettable ExperienceD. James Franco and His WifeBLily, a student of Cambridge University, has bought a bicycle and is worried about safety. Her friend, Cathryn, found this article and sent it to her.How to make your bicycle safe?A number of crimes are against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most are never found. You can prevent this from happening by following a few careful steps.Basic SecurityNever leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and carry them with you, for example lights and saddles (车座).LocksThere are various types of locks. Buy one that has been tested against attack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop owner.MarkingSecurity marking your bike can act as an obstruction to thieves, which can also help the police find your bicycle. Your postcode and your house or flat number should be included and clearly recorded. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle.RegistrationThere are many companies that will security mark your bicycle. They will then store your registration number and personal details in their computer database. If your bicycle is found, it will be easy to contact you.AttentionKeep a record of the bicycle by yourself: its production, model and registration number. You can even take a photograph of it. This will prove the bicycle belongs to you.25. Which part of the article gives the information on how to lock your bicycle when you leave?A. RegistrationB. LocksC. MarkingD. Basic Security26. Which one is wrong about the security marking of a bicycle?A. It can help the police to find and identify the lost bike.B. Some companies can assist you in doing this.C.

Which of the following information may not be necessarily recorded?A. your personal information and recommendation in your computer databaseB. the signing number of the bike as well as your addressC. both the type of the bike and its pictureD. your postcode and personal detailsCTea production in Sri Lanka has thrived for decades. The tea gardens in Hatton, Sri Lanka are actually large tea estates. The best tea usually comes from plants grown on high grounds, the cool hilltops with rows and rows of tea plants. The plants are about one meter apart. The plant is often pruned so that it remains only 60 to 90 centimeters high. Pruning is important because it encourages the growth of tender shoots, or young leaves. It is from these shoots that the best tea is got.Practically all the tea pickers are women. The estates prefer to employ women pickers because they are more careful. Their thin fingers can easily remove the twin leaves and new shoots from the plant, which are the parts used for processing tea. The pickers carry large baskets into which they throw their pickings. A skilled worker can harvest between 9 to 14 kilograms of tea leaves a day. Usually new shoots can be picked from the plants about every ten or fifteen days.Processing tea shoots into our familiar dry tea leaves requires great care and skill. There are various methods of processing depending on the type of tea required. For black tea, the young green leaves are first spread out shelves to dry. This process removes much of its water and the leaves become soft. After this, the leaves are passed through heavy rollers. This operation will press the leaves for juices which give the tea both its color and taste. Then the leaves are spread out on floors and left to ferment（发酵）under wet conditions. Fermentation develops the rich taste of black tea. The fermented leaves are then dried with a hot-air blower until they become rolled-up black leaves. The final step is to sort and grade them before the black tea is ready for sale to countries all over the world.29. The underlined word “pruning” means “”.A. reasonable use of chemicalsB. regular cutting of the plantsC. frequent wateringD. loosening the soil30. How many processing steps are mentioned in the last paragraph?A. SixB. FiveC. FourD. Three31. What does the author imply in the passage?A. Fermentation is a must to enrich the flavour of black tea.B. Women pickers are welcomed because they can easily find the twin leaves.C. Tea production has long been prosperous in Sri Lanka.D. Tea pickings can be done biweekly.DSome inventions are so useful, but seem so simple, that we wonder why no one thought of them long ago.Post-it Notes were invented about twenty years ago by Art Fry, a scientist at 3M Company. The idea for the product came from an awful experience he often had while singing in his church choir. Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarks were always falling out. Around that time, Fry heard about a new adhesive (粘合剂) that a colleague, Dr. Spence Silver, had created. This adhesive was special because it was strong enough to hold papers together, but not strong enough to tear the paper when it was removed.A short time later, Fry realized that his new invention had even more uses than being a great bookmark. He came to this realization when he wrote a note on one of his new “bookmarks” and attached it to a report he was going to give to a colleague. Soon, co-workers were asking Fry for more of his invention so that they could use the new type of notes themselves.Fry and some other people at 3M believed so much in the new product that they asked the company to give away thousands of the “sticky pieces of paper” for trial use. When some salespeople at 3M went to offices and showed workers just how helpful the new type of notes could be, they immediately received many orders. As more and more people discovered how useful Post-it Notes could be, the product took off.32. How did Dr. Spence help Art Fry?A. His adhesive made Art’s invention possible.B. He offered the new adhesive to Art.C. He created the Post-it Notes.D. He often worked and discussed science with Art.33. Which of the following is a possible use of Post-it Notes?A. A postcard from abroad.B. An ad in a newspaper.C. A note on a friend’s door.D. An e-mail to a friend.34. Which of the following shows the proper order of the events?a. The company gave away many “sticky pieces of paper” for people to try.b. Dr. Spence created a new adhesive.c. Many orders were received and the Post-it Notes became successful.d. Fry invented Post-it Notes.e. His colleagues began to use the new types of notes themselves.A. d b a e cB. b a e d cC. b d e a cD. d e a b c35. In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage?A. EconomyB. RecreationC. CultureD. Science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。

AI went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film. We set off early for a distant water hole. A huge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water. He wasn’t going to hurry now. He’d drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again or so we thought. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away. Then he suddenly fell down. Within minutes he was dead.We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephant’s body, and let out over 100 liters of pus (胺)－the result of the elephant’s meeting with a poacher（偷猎者）months before.Today's poacher shoots from a blind. He fires an arrow, covered with poison, into the body of an elephant. If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies. Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once－it doesn't mean the poison won't finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death.Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time. When I think about the death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence aft er the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground. I took some comfort from the knowledge that as the dead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefit－but I couldn't escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.21. While filming near the water hole, the author and his team ________.A. knew the elephant was injuredB. found the elephant acted violentlyC. tried their best to save the elephantD. thought the elephant was in good condition22. Further examination showed that the dead elephant________.A. had suffered an hour or twoB. was killed by a poisonous needleC. had suffered a lotD. had had a good fight with a poacher23. How does the author feel when thinking about the elephant s death?A. empty.B. comfortable.C. upset.D. relieved.24. Why did the author write the text?A. To introduce African elephant.B. To show the cruelty of poaching.C. To describe his filming experience.D. To ask readers to protect wild animals.BWinter begins in the north on December 22nd. People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the cold months. Squirrels, for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. Well, scientists have been busy gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect.They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut trees. The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels. The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student now at the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels. Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut. So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow in the following spring. Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground. Professor Swihart calls “death traps for seeds”.Gray squirrels are native to Indiana. But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century.The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade Indiana. Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.25.The study done by Rob Swihart and Jake Goheen is to ________.A. find out the living conditions for squirrelsB. do something to get rid of squirrelsC. learn squirrels’ influence on black walnut treesD. save the forests in the American state of Indiana26.The difference between gray squirrels and red squirrels mainly lies in ________.A. the way they gather the walnutB. the place they store the walnutsC. the number of the nuts they can collectD. the fact that the gray squirrels have a bad memory27.When Professor Swihart says “death traps for seeds”, he actually means that ________.河南教考资源信息网 版权所有·侵权必究A. nuts above the ground will not develop into plantsB. red squirrels eat more nuts than gray squirrelsC. gray squirrels and red squirrels will have severe fightsD. seeds can be traps for other animals in the forest28.According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Gray squirrels do more harm to the forest than red squirrels.B. Red squirrels and gray squirrels have helped the spread of walnut trees.C. The cleaning of forest land benefits gray squirrels directly.D. Human beings should bear some responsibility for the decreasing number of graysquirrels.CLa Gomera is the only place in the world that has a whistle language. We do not know how and why it began because we do not know the complete history of the island. But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language. There are many deep valleys on the island. A person on one side of a valley can not easily shout to a person on the other side. But he can whistle and be heard. Some of the best whistlers can be heard from four miles away and the record is seven miles.The people who live on the island usually have good teeth, and this helps them to whistle well. They must also have good ears so that they can hear other whistlers.We can understand why the whistle language continues. It is very useful on the island, and quite easy to learn. When somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle language takes the place of telephone. If the sick person is quite far away from the town, people pass the message from one to another. A boy guarding cattle on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat. The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town. People help one another in the same way when a car breaks down or a cow is lost.The whistle language is hundreds of years old, and probably it will continue to live on for hundreds of years more. Radio and TV often kill the special ways of s peaking in different parts of a country. But on La Gomera you are nobody if you cannot whistle. Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island, people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions.29. If a person on La Gomera is ill, ______.A. the whistle language will help pass the message to the doctorB. people will take him to town by carriageC. his family will take him to the hospitalD. others will phone the doctor in town30. La Gomera is special because ______.A. we don’t know its complete historyB. people have to shout if they want to communicateC. people there have good teeth and earsD. people there use the whistle language to communicate with each other31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The whistle language has been used for hundreds of years on the island, but will notbe used any longer.B. The whistle language can only be found on La Gomera.C. It is not easy for a person to live on La Gomera if he cannot whistle.D. The record shows that one best whistler can be heard by others from seven miles away.32. Which of the following will be the best title of this passage?A. The Secret LanguageB. Do You Know the Whistle Language?C. The Life of IslandersD. La Gomera－a MysteryDImagine being given the opportunity to wake up to lions, eat your meals with monkeys, and even share your bath with bears, all from the comfort of a unique new lodging experience.The Jamala Wildlife Lodge opened its doors in January 2015, which was set up in an effort to educate visitors about aiding the survival of many of the world's endangered species.“It’s great for the animals; they're go ing to get more space. It's great for the viewing public; they're going to get more things to see. It will be great for tourism and just for the local community," Said Richard Tindale, the owner and operator.Spreading across three locations in the National Zoo, the 18 rooms, which range from giraffe tree houses to jungle bungalows, offer a fantastic experience with wildlife The Giraffe TreehouseThe Giraffe Treehouse is set among the giraffe enclosures (围场), and the Jungle Bungalows are luxurious individual suites which are next to either lion, cheetah(猎豹), brown bear, or Malaysian sun bear enclosures.The Ushaka HouseHousing up to 26 people, the Ushaka House is built around the monkey enclosure and has a built-in aquarium which offers priva te views of some of the zoo’s sharks.The Burley Griffin HouseOnly meters from the edge of Lake Burley Griffin, the indoor and outdoor entertaining areas have splendid views across the lake to Black Mountain.The Shark HouseThe Shark House has its own little jetty(码头) and it comes out over the shark tank here and so the people who stay in the room will be able to go to their bedroom and pat the shark.LocationLocated in the heart of Australia’s political capital, the Jamala Wildlife Lodge at the National Zoo and Aquarium is just ten minutes from Canberra’s central Business District.河南教考资源信息网 版权所有·侵权必究33.

The first car was invented not by a German, but by an American. His name was Henry Ford. Henry was born in a poor family' He was the eldest of six children. When he was a boy, he became interested in mending watches and machines. When he was 12, his mother died. Soon he had to work in a machine shop for two dollars and fifty cents a week. The hard life made him strong and able. At that time there was another interest in the life of the young Ford. He dreamed to make a machine that could run with out a horse. So it was named "a horseless carriage". He overcame a lot of difficulties and in April, 1893, the "horseless carriage" was finally finished, which was the first car. Later Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company. He was really the first inventor of the car in the world.2014—2015学年度高三第二次大练习英语参考答案听力：1-5 CCABC 6-10 CBCAB 11-15 CACBA 16-20 CABBA阅读理解：21-23 BAB 24-27 DDCA 28-31 BCAD 32-35 BCDA 36-40 DEAGC完形填空：41-45 CBABA 46-50 DCCAB 51-55 ABACB 56-60 BCDDA语法填空：61. on/in 62. known 63. making 64. the 65. reasons 66. looks67. which 68. to sit 69. be sent 70. easily短文改错:Dear Peter,I’m writing to ask whether you are able to do me∧ favor.aI want to have a pen friend, hopefully a girl in the early twenties, and with interests similarly toher similar mine.

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 a one-time purchase and a return customer.”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, “I don’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 afraid 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 against accepting others’ favor and even criticize them severely in order to frighten theirgoodness 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 sound 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 we ren’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’ favor wiselyC. repay others’ goodness activelyD. shoulder others’ goo dness 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 had 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 tir ed 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 now 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 underwear, 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。

AThe cars were honking (鸣叫) on the road one morning as I was walking to the park. I walked on and soon found the cause — a little taxi that had got stuck in the middle of the road. There was sweat on the driver's face as he tried to start the engine again and again — nothing happened. "No petrol,"I said to myself and then found myself getting angry. "Why doesn't the fool move his taxi to the side?" I thought, so did all the others who honked and shouted.He got up tiredly, and the passenger in the taxi got out. He was a young man in a white shirt, who watched the driver try to push it to the side. "Stupid guy!" I said. "Can't he lend a helping hand? "I watched as the poor driver pushed it to the side. Cars, buses and trucks went past cursing (咒骂) the poor man. The young man took another taxi and went off.The taxi driver began mending his taxi. "Stupid passenger!" I said to him. "He didn't help you!" The taxi driver slowly got up. "Sir!" he asked, "Did you?" I looked at him guiltily, then looked away, and walked away fast, asking myself, "Did I help the poor man push his taxi?"What had I been doing as the traffic jam took place? How had I helped deal with the problem? Did I help the poor man push his taxi? I’d done my bit, with my mouth. But never had I moved to solve the problem. I was shocked with guilt as I heard him asking, "Sir! Did you?"21. Why did a traffic jam happen on the road when the author was walking to the park?A. There was too much traffic in the street.B. Truck drivers attempted to go ahead of others.C. A taxi driver couldn't start his engine.D. A young man wasn't good at driving.22. The author's attitude toward the passenger is that of __________.A. angerB. respectC. sympathyD. guilt23. Why did the author feel guilty?A. Because he blamed the driver wrongly.B. Because he didn't help the driver, either.C. Because he tried to help but failed in the end.D. Because he didn't persuade the passenger to help.24. From the incident, the author learnt a lesson that we should _________.A. criticize those who don't helpB. hurt the self-respect of others no moreC. think more of those who are in needD. stop talking and start to helpBSweet peas, cucumbers, grapes ---- what do you think they have in common?None of these vegetables grow on trees. They all don’t have strong roots, big trun ks or long branches, which makes it harder for them to get sunlight. But don’t worry. They have developed their own unique way of growing taller ---- climbing!Take sweet peas as an example. The plant grows as a straight stem until it finds something to hold onto, either a nearby tree or a stick. That is when the stem makes small coil(卷曲) that helps the plant hold the stick tightly.How these plants are able to do this has been a mystery to scientists for years. Even Charles Darwin was interested in this question. But it is not until now that a Harvard research team has finally found the answer. The study was published in the Journal Science earlier this month.The key, as it turns out, is inside a kind of thread-like cell called “g-fiber cell”, which has the ability to shrink or stretch. Each stem of the pea plant is made of several layers of g-fibers. Once the plant finds something to hold onto, cells on side of the stem start to shrink, forcing the whole thing to bend and coil, which is a bit like how our muscles get our bodies to move.What’s more, a pea’s coil is not exactly like tha t of a spring. If you look closely, you may find that a spring coils all in the same direction, but a plant’s coil is in two opposite directions, like a telephone line. This means that the stem can stay soft when pulled gently but become strong enough when pulled harder.“You want the plant to have a little bit of flexibility(柔韧性) so that if the wind blows or an animal disturb it, it doesn’t break,” explained Sharon Gerbode, author of the study. “This structure allows the plant to easily accommodate small movement, but then if something really serious happens it can become stro ng and protect itself.”25. According to the article, coiling happens in sweet peas plant to allow the plant to .A. form a straight stemB. grow strong rootsC. develop g-fiber cells on the stemsD. climb itself up toward the sunlight26. According to the article, which one is true about “a sweet pea’s coil”?A. to be like that of a springB. to bend all in the same directionC. to make the stem hard breakD. to make the stem get soft when pulled hard27. When the sweet pea plant finds something to hold onto, .A. g-fiber cells on both sides of stem, forcing the stem to bend and coilB. g-fiber cells on side of stem shrink, forcing the stem to bend and coilC. g-fiber cells on the stem start to stretch, forcing the stem to bend and coilD. there are more g-fiber cells on the stems28. What’s the purpose of the writer in the passage?A. To tell us why the sweet peas can climb the tree or stick.B. To display new research allows scientists to understand more about climbing plants.C. To show us new scientific research about the role of “g-fiber cell”.D. To tell us the mysterious natural phenomena of some plants.CAs I grew older, my dad and I grew further apart. We always had totally different opinions.He thought that college was a waste of time, but for me it was important to finish college. He wanted me to work my way to the top as he had done in his field，but I wanted a different life. There was a time when we did not talk with each other.A few months ago, I heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor health. When he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado bank to Tennessee to help him, I knew he was seriously ill. I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father's requirement.Two weeks after moving back, we bought a boat and started fishing again. Fishing was one of the few things that we did while I was young and that we both enjoyed. It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us. We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before. Fishing has been healing the old wounds that have kept us apart.It is not important how many fish we catch. It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years. I' m 62 and he is 84. When we are on the lake fishing, it is like enjoying life. It is far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind. I am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last years. Now my heart is filled with love. A smile always graces my lips.29. The author and his father became further apart because .A. they lived very far from each otherB. they seldom went to see each otherC. they only communicated by phoneD. they had different views on things30. Why did the author came back to Tennessee?A. Because his father invited him to go fishing.B. Because he decided to live in a different city.C. Because his father was ill and needed caring.D. Because he regretted being rude to his father.31. For the author, fishing with his old fatherA. helps cure his father’s diseaseB. makes him realize the importance of relaxationC. is a good way to get close to natureD. provides a chance for them to communicate32.

ABoth of Jessica’s parents were lawyers and expected her to follow suit. So she went to law school, got a job at a great firm in Washington, DC, and worked as a lawyer for a decade. But her heart was never in it. “I had a big salary but no personal satisfaction,” she says.Jessica found pleasure in the same thing that had brought her joy since joining the church choir at the age of 12. “Singing always felt like communicating something real at a spiritual and emotional level,” says Jessica. Yet she never considered it a career option. “That seemed like something people did in fairy tales, and I would never let my p arents down,” she says.It was her mom’s diagnosis of brain cancer in 2009 that made Jessica realize she had to write her own happy-ever-after. “Work was busy and my mother was ailing. So I was flying back and forth from Washington, DC to Houston to see h er,” Jessica says. “I finally said, ‘Enough!’ and quit.” While caring for her mom, Jessica made a plan. She would spend her savings and study music for a year, and then open a part-time law practice so she could pursue her passion. Before her mother passed away two years later, she encouraged Jessica to follow her dream. Her song Live This Life was inspired by her mom, and her dad came to watch her perform at clubs.In 2012, Jessica moved to Nashville to try singing and songwriting. A decade of presenting cases in court gave her the confidence to sing for a crowd. “At 20, I would have been too shy to perform,” says Jessica.“Doing music is so free,” Jessica says. “There’s no pressure to be a star. Success, to me, isn’t a dollar amount or a record deal; it’s doing what I love.”21. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Jessica wasn’t satisfied with the pay she got as a lawyer.B. Jessica didn’t know what she truly loved for ten years.C. Jessica didn’t really like working as a lawyer.D. Jessica was gratefu l for her parents’ arrangement for her.A. Crazy.B. Sick.C. Worried.D. Unhappy.A. Supportive.B. Doubtful.C. Negative.D. Unknown.A. show that family members’ support is importantB. show that singing can be a practical careerC. tell us the importance of choosing a right jobD. encourage us to pursue our dreamsBDeborah Cohen is a senior natural scientist at the Rand Corp and the author of the book A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind the Obesity Epidemic and How We Can End It. According to the book, there are lots of misunderstandings of obesity.1. If you’re obese, blame your genes.Obesity rates have increased. Yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubled—too quickly for genetic factors to be responsible.At restaurants, a dollar puts more calories on our plates than ever before, because restaurant meals usually have more calories than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.2. If you’re obese, you lack self-control.Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor dietary choices. Our world has become so rich in temptation that we can be led to consume too much in ways we can’t understand. Even the most vigilant(警觉的) people may not be up to the task of controlling themselves.3. Lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables is responsible for obesity.Although the US Department of Agriculture estimates that fewer than 5 percent of Americans live in the “food deserts”, about 65 percent of the nation’s population is overweight or obese. For most of us, obesity is not related to access to more fresh fruits and vegetables, but to the choices we make in supermarkets.4. The problem is not that we eat too much, but that we d on’t exercise.Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign is based on the idea that if kids exercise more, childhood obesity rates will decrease. But there was no significant decrease in physical activity levels as obesity rates climbed in the 1980s and 1990s. In fact, although a drop in work-related physical activity may account for up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased. The problem is that we eat too much.26. What is the relationship between obesity and the place where you eat?A. The more you eat out, the higher rates of obesity you have.B. The less you eat at home, the lower rates of obesity you have.C. The less you eat out, the higher rates of obesity you have.D. The more you eat at home, the higher rates of obesity you have.CTIME is an American weekly news magazine published in New York City. It was created in 1923 by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce, making it the first weekly news magazine in the US. Hadden was considered carefree, liked to tease Luce and saw TIME as important but also fun. That accounted for its heavy coverage of celebrities(including politicians), the entertainment industry, andpop culture—criticized as too light for serious news.It tells the news through people, and for many decades, the magazine’s cover depicted a single person. On Hadden’s death in 1929, Luce became the most important man at TIME and a major figure in the history of 20th-century media.TIME is also known for its signature red border, first introduced in 1927. It has only changed four times since then. The issue released shortly after the September 11 attacks on the United States featured a black border to symbolize mourning. However, this edition was a special “extra” edition published quickly for the breaking news of the event; the next regularly scheduled issue contained the red border. Additionally, the April 28, 2008 Earth Day issue, dedicated to environmental issues, contained a green border. The next change in border was in the September 19, 2011 issue, commemorating the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks with a metallic silver border. The most recent change(again with a silver border) was in the December 31, 2012 issue, noting Barack Obama’s selection as Man of the Year.TIME has a division magazine, TIME FOR KIDS(TFK), which is especially published for children and is mainly distributed in classrooms. TFK con tains some national news, a “Cartoon of the Week”, and a variety of articles concerning popular culture that the younger U.S. citizens are interested in. All the stories in TFK are written by young reporters.In some advertising campaigns, the magazine has suggested that the letters TIME stand for “The International Magazine of Events”.29. Why did some people dislike TIME in the beginning?A. It had kept its cover the same since the 1920s.B. It didn’t report important events quickly enough.C. It didn’t have a serious tone for important events.D. Henry Luce was in charge of the magazine for too long.30. Why did TIME change its red border for the first time?A. To remember the 10th anniversary of an attack.B. To show great sadness about the deaths.C. To remind readers to protect the environment.D. To call on readers to vote for Obama.31. What do we know about TFK?A. It mainly contains popular culture.B. It has a division magazine called TIME.C. It is designed for kids and teachers.D. It has young reporters writing articles.DCheaters called “pirates” often use camcorders(便携式摄像机) and cell phones to make illegal copies of blockbusters(大片) in the local theater. These pirates then sell those recordings on the street or over the Internet for very low prices. Some share them for free.“It’s unfair for people to pirate movies, ” says 15-year-old Hadaia Azad Ezzulddin. Movie p iracy “takes money out of the pockets of thousands of people in the movie industry,” she notes. Victims include famous actors and directors as well as local theater owners and their employees.Hadaia came up with an idea that could help stop movie piracy. Hadaia’s idea uses infrared(红外线的) light. This range of light is invisible to the human eye. It is visible, however, to many types of cameras. Theater owners could place small infrared lights on their movie screens. The lightswould not disturb people watching the movie. It would, however, distort the recordings made by many types of cameras.To test her idea, Hadaia built a box with a movie screen inside. Then, she projected images on that screen through a hole in the box. She took recordings of those images, using nine different types of cameras. These included the types found in cell phones as well as camcorders. During some tests, she also turned on light emitting diodes(发光二极管), or LEDs. The LEDs were embedded（植入的）in a certain place behind the movie screen. They gave out infrared light.Sure enough, she showed, a pirated movie included odd stripes or spots if it had been recorded while the LEDs were on. It might be possible to use the LEDs to flash the date and time on the movie screen. The information would then appear in the illegal recordings. Theater owners or police might use the information to track down the pirates.Cutting down on piracy might get more people into theaters to watch the real movie instead of an illegal copy. Six out of every ten films now produced aren’t profitable. They don’t make enough money to recover how much was spent to make and market them. Such a poor payback can discourage filmmakers from producing anything but the types expected to become blockbuster hits. It might also keep smaller theaters from showing a wider variety of movie types.32. From what Hadaia says in Paragraph 2, we can infer that _______.A. she strongly criticizes those who video movies in the theaterB. the pirates don’t have to pay for the movie ti cketsC. theater owners will increase the price of movie ticketsD. most people spend less money on pirates moves33. Infrared lights are put on the movie screens to _______.A. adjust the brightness of the movie screensB. make sure the images of movies are darkC. make illegal copies of movies unpleasant to seeD. protect the eyesight of viewers in the darkness34. What is the correct order of the steps in Hadaia’s test?a. She projected pictures on the screen.b. She used cameras to record the pictures.c. She turned on the LEDs placed behind the screen.35. According to the last paragraph, we can know that _______.A. small theaters often choose to show low-cost moviesB. forty percent of movies now are profitableC. more and more people go to theaters to fight movie piracyD. filmmakers prefer to produce ordinary movies than blockbusters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。
