2014届各区二模英语试卷阅读理解（C篇14套）Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words:（1）We are now living in the modern city. Most of the energy which we are using for heating lighting, transportation and manufacturing (工业生产) is from fossil fuels (化石燃料). These are carbon-based (碳基燃料) fuels from oils, coal and natural gas. When we burn these fuels we release (释放) heat which p___1____ the energy.There are three major disadvantages to using these fuels. Firstly, they are causing climate problems because of the g___2____ effect. When we burn fossil fuels they produce carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) which causes global warming. Secondly, when we have used up all our coal, oil and natural gas, we will have n___3____ left to burn. Thirdly, they are not very efficient. The internal combustion engine that we use in most cars, trucks and buses, for example, is only about 14% efficient.Scientists are working on an alternative (替代的) fuel—hydrogen (氢). There are a number of advantages to using hydrogen as a fuel. Firstly, because two thirds of the e___4____surface is water and water is made of hydrogen and oxygen (氧). There is an almost unlimited (无限的) supply of hydrogen. Secondly, burning hydrogen does not cause global warming. Thirdly it is much more efficient than carbon-based fuels.Unfortunately there are problems with hydrogen at the present time: there is the problem of separating it from water c___5____, if it is too expensive, we can not afford to use it; and there is the difficulty of storing it. It can be stored under pressure but high pressure tanks are far from sage. It can also be stored as a liquid but only at extremely（非常）low temperatures. It seems likely, therefore, that there will have to be completely new technologies before hydrogen replaces fossil fuels. S___6____ these problems is an urgent matter. Although China, India and Australia have huge quantities（大量）of cheap coal, and there are still l___7____ oil and gas reserves（储备）elsewhere, the e ffects on the planet’s climate will be catastrophic（灾难性的）if they are used.1. p______________2. g________________3. n_____________4. e_____________5. c____________6.

Here are three important jobs behind the scenes.Makeup artist: Making characters look believableThe makeup artist’s work sounds simple. But it’s more than just making the lead actress look beautiful. If the hero gets a cut on his face, the makeup artist creates that cut, and it has to look e____2____ the same tomorrow. And the special makeup for a monster or a space alien can take six hours! Sometimes makeup artists have only fifteen minutes to p____3____ twenty actors for a crowd scene. Their work must always be careful and good, so you don’t notice it when you watch the movie.Special effects coordinator (协调人): Making impossible things look realAfter a movie, people often ask, ―How did they do that?‖In films, people can fly, dinosaurs walk through cities, and spaceships travel to other p____4_____ in outer space. These are all the work of the special effects coordinator. Some special effects, especially in science fiction movies, are made with computers. O___5____ are made by machines, which can make a rainy day or a snowy night at any time of the year. Fires and explosions in movies are all created with special effects.Foley artist: Creating the sounds of the cinemaThink of your favourite scary movie and its sounds – footsteps, loud rain, and creaking doors. All of these are the work of Foley artist. Many sounds can’t be recorded d_____6____ the filming of a movie, so Foley artists p___7____ them in their studios (工作室).

A short distance ahead of me was a mom and her three-year-old daughter. The little girl was holding a string that was attached to a helium balloon(氢气球).All of a sudden, a strong w 1 took the balloon from the little girl. I thought she would scream and c 2 .But, no! As the little girl turned to watch her balloon rise into the sky, she h 3 shouted: ―Wow!‖I didn’t realize it at that moment, but that little girl had taught me something.Later that day, I r 4 a phone call from a person with news of an unexpected problem. I felt like saying:―Oh no, what should we do?‖ But thinking of that little girl, I found myself saying: ―Wow, that’s interesti ng! How can I help you?‖ One thing is for sure---life is always going to put us off balance with things we don’t expect. However, how we respond(反应) to them is our c 5 .

But a lot of my friends did very l 1 work. Some just did enough to pass the exam. Others didn’t do quite enough. Fred Braines was such a student. He spent more time drinking in the T 2 House than working in the library.Once at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in Chinese. The test had 100 questions. Beside each question we had to write ―True‖ or ―False‖. While I was studying in my room, Fred was watching TV. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he looked very e 3__ . Then he told me of his idea.―It’s very simple. There are 100 questions and I have to get 50 right to pass the test. I will take a coin into the examination room. I haven’t studied a Chinese book for months, so I will toss the coin. In this way, I’m sure I’ll get h 4 of the questions right.‖The next day, Fred came happily into the examination room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour, he wrote down his answers. Then he left, half an hour b 5 the rest of us.The next day, Fred met his Chinese teacher at the school gate. ―Oh, good,‖ he said. ―I am sure you have got the r 6 of the test. Did I pass the test?‖The teacher looked at him and smiled, ―Ah, it’s you, Braines. Just a minute.‖ Then the teacher reached his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught in his hand and looked at it. ― I am sorry, Braines, you f 7 !‖1. l______________2.

When he reached the middle of the bridge, he thought he could hear someone coming near b 1 him. He looked back but could see no one. However, the sound continued and Frank began to walk more quickly. Then he slowed down again, feeling ashamed at having acted so foolishly. There was n 2 to fear in a town as quiet as this.Just then, he heard short, quick steps. By the time he reached the other side of the bridge, he could almost feel someone at his heels. He turned round and there stood a man dressed in a large overcoat. A hat was pulled down over his eyes and very l 3 of his face could be seen. Frank said something about the weather, trying to sound friendly and c 4 .

ActiveThe sports utility vehicle (SUV多用途车辆) was invented in the early 1990s. It quickly became very popular in the United States. There are several r 1 for this. It is larger than most of cars. It can carry lots of people, bicycles, toys, dogs and other things. This makes it popular with families. It also has four doors and a big back door, so getting in or out is e 2 . Since an SUV is taller than most cars, the driver can see above other cars and have a better sight of the road. With a lot more p 3 , an SUV can go faster than most cars. It can also go on very rough roads where other cars cannot go.The SUV is popular with many people, but other people do not like these cars. First, they are larger than most other cars. This means that drivers of other cars may not be able to see the road w 4 . Also, SUVs are very heavy. If an SUV gets into an accident with a small car, the small car may be in s 5 trouble. Another problem with SUVs is that they are very expensive. They are expensive to buy --- about 50 percent more expensive than an average small car. They are also expensive to use, since they use a lot more gasoline (汽油) than smaller cars.There are two ways to solve these problems. One way is to change the way we think about them. Now they are sold as large cars. In the future, maybe they should be sold as trucks. Then people with just a car license could not d 6 them. They would have to get a truck license. These licenses are more expensive and difficult to get, so p 7 fewer people would buy SUVs. The other way to solve SUV problems is to make them differently. Some people think that car companies should make big SUVs smaller and less dangerous. They should also make SUVs with less powerful engines. Then they would not use so much gasoline.1. r_____________2. e_______________3. p______________4. w____________5. s_______________6. d_____________7. p______________Key:1. reasons2. easier/easy3. power4. well5. serious6. drive7. probably/perhapsLibraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and to learn. For more than 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans’ e 1 . But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.Benjamin Franklin famously founded America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its b 2 development in the American history in the late 1800’s. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated (捐赠) millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations helped build 1,679 new libraries.Carnegie believed in the chances that libraries could o 3 Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have access（接触的机会）to books, lectures, news and more.Chances are that there is a public library in or near your c 4 . You can easily find one close to your home. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven out of ten libraries have free Internet. This opens many doors for people who cannot go online at home,i 5 the opportunity to apply for jobs online.Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images from the story h 6 . Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.Benjamin Franklin once said, ―The doors of wisdom are never s7 .‖ As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!1. e_____________2. b_______________3. o______________4. c____________5. i_______________6. h_____________7. s______________Key:1. education2.biggest3.offer4. community5. including6.happily7. shutI didn’t think I had a passion (激情).

I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, s 1 on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed in rags (衣衫褴褛). He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, for I had seen many like him b 2 .But in some ways he was d 3 . This man was not sitting down with a sad expression. He had a radio in his hand and was dancing h 4 to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious (珍贵)thing he had.― Mum, why does that man have a radio even thought he’s homeless?‖ I asked.―He bought it,‖ she replied.―But if he’s homeless, why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He w 5 it on something he doesn’t need.‖―Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important things. We need happiness, too.‖That man must c 6 enough music to buy a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that happiness is the k 7 to life.Without it, there’s nothing to look forward to.

Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunately, most educators are becoming aware of the fact that students have different interests and abilities. I understand that grades are useful, but grades often limit creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to pursue music, dramatics and sports. Grades force an arbitrary(武断的) standard of success on everyone. I do not demand as some extremists do, that grades be removed immediately. However, I do believe that less emphasis should be placed on grades. I hope that someday grades will become optional at Village High School.Magdalena SmithDrama Club Dear editor,I‘d like to say something about grades. Let‘s face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions. First, grades motivate students to work at their highest level of competence. Second, they act as a reward for hardworking students and as a punishment to students who do not work hard. Finally, grades are used as an effective standard by which to measure student achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university. I've spoken with a number of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hired primarily on the basis of their grades. My grades helped me land a part-time job and will help me get into university next year. I think grades are extremely important at Village High School.Simon HarperScience Club ( )56. Which of the following is not Magdalena Smith‘s opinion?A. Students may give up the chance to learn music and sports for grades.B. Students‘ creativity may not be developed for grades.C. Grades should not be used to measure a person‘s success.D. Grades should be taken away at once.( )57. We can learn Simon Harper _____.A. believes in the benefits of good gradesB. is concerned about students' creativityC. doesn't work too hard at his studiesD. supports students' interests and abilities( )58. From the second letter, we can infer that Simon Harper is a/an_____.A. teacherB. headmasterC. studentD. advertiserBAs a boy I was always small for my age. I was also five years younger than one of my brothers and seven years younger than the other. As a result I often felt left out when their friends came over to play. I was either too small or too young for whatever they were doing and they didn't want their younger brother listening in on their conversations either. More often than not I found myself outside playing alone and feeling forgotten.I remember one spring afternoon feeling especially lonely as I sat in the yard behind our house. We lived miles from town and I rarely saw my own friends outside of school. I heard my brothers laughing from inside the house and felt a single tear coming down my cheek. At that moment I saw a large brown dog walking over to me. He looked happy and his tail was wagging as well. Even though he didn't know me he greeted me like a long lost friend, licking my chin and sitting beside me on the spring grass. It must have been at least an hour that I petted and talked to this four-legged angel. He let me pour out all my troubles and share my deepest thoughts before he kissed my cheek goodbye and ambled off either to Heaven or his home. I went back inside feeling happy, knowing that no matter what life may hold I was loved. Now over 40 years later I still remember that angel with a smile.I believe that God sent him in that moment of sadness to remind me just how much he loved me. There is nothing more important than knowing we are loved. When we are loved, we will learn to love others. Learning to love helps us to understand ourselves and other people better.( )59. How did the writer feel when his brothers‘ friends came?A. Proud.B. Lonely.C. Worried.D. Happy.( )60. The writer shared his troubles and thoughts with the dog because ______.A. it was his friendB. it could understand himC. it was friendly to himD. it looked like an angel( )61. From Paragraph 2, we can learn that ______.A. the boy met a long lost friendB. the boy had no friends at schoolC.the dog helped the boy realize that he was lovedD.the dog spent the afternoon with the boy and his brothers( )62. The author wrote the story to______.A. encourage people to talk about their troublesB. tell people they should treat animals friendlyC. share his unforgettable experience with usD. show knowing you are loved is the most importantCMost city parks are places where you can escape from big, ugly structures of metal and stone. The Manhattan High Line is different. Raised 25 feet above the ground, this massive metal structure once supported a rail line. The line opened in 1934 to bring trains directly into factories and warehouses. It was hardly used after the 1960s, and much of it was torn down. However, one section remained in an area of Manhattan called Chelsea. Chelsea was becoming more and more valuable as restaurants, art galleries and apartments were built, but the ugly railway structure remained as a dead weight. Everyone knew that at some time, it would have to be removed.But the High Line was not destroyed. In fact, now the old rail line serves as one of the most peaceful places in the city. It holds an elevated park, with beautiful gardens, a sidewalk and great views of the city. The idea to change the rail line into a park came from Joshua David and Robert Hammond. In 1999, they attended a community meeting to decide the fate(命运) of the High Line. David and Hammond were the only people at the meeting interested in saving the structure for its historical significance. Later on, when they asked railway officials to take them up to look at the High Line, they saw a mile and a half of wild flowers growing in the middle of the city, and they realized that the High Line had potential to become a park. There was growing interest in improving urban centers, and so the project quickly won support and funds for construction were easily obtained.The first section of the High Line opened in 2009 and immediately became popular with tourists and locals alike. Each part of the park has a different atmosphere. Some areas are like balconies (阳台)with wonderful city views. Where the rail line goes between buildings, trees are thickly planted. Other sections have wide walkways planted with wild flowers. Only the final section remains the way it has been for the last fifty years – a railway line overgrown with weeds.( )63. The underlined phrase ―a dead weight‖ in Paragraph 1 means_____.A. something with potential to be better.B. something with historical interest.C. something which is a danger to people.D. something useless which slows progress.( )64. According to Paragraph 2, David and Hammond wanted to save the High Line because they_____.A. thought it had historical valueB. wanted to reopen the train lineC. thought it would bring them moneyD. were interested in improving the city( )65. From the last paragraph, we can learn that the park ______.A. is different in its designB. is covered with treesC. didn‘t change at allD. became a natural countryside( )66. Which of the following is NOT true about the High Line?A. It is situated above ground level.B. Only part of the line remains.C. It is now a popular park.D. Trains still use the line.DDid you know that there are actually people who have paid for a flight to the moon? In the future, there will be a lot more opportunities to travel to faraway places than now… perhaps even as far as the moon. As people adventure further and further away and as planes, trains, cars, and rocket ships become faster, is it safer to have these vehicles controlled by humans or by computers?While many flights by plane are controlled automatically by machines, most people today wouldn‘t let their car drive itself. That‘s because currently the autopilot function on your car can only keep it on the same course you are travelling on. It won‘t turn the car right or left. It won‘t stop if an animal jumps in the way. However, cars today can sense when something is too close and warn the driver with flashing lights and alarms. Many cars also have GPS（global positioning systems）that tell drivers which road to take and when to turn. These systems, unlike human drivers, never get lost. In the future, it is easy to believe that your car will be better able to drive itself with the aid of computers that can determine the position of your car and the speed it should travel at.In addition to computers being ‗smarter‘ than people regarding the best way to go or knowing how close another vehicle is, computers don‘t get sick, tired, or angry. This means they won‘t make the same mistakes that people make when they are not having a good day. While responding with emotion is a good thing when choosing the best way to deal with a friend‘s personal problem, it may not be such a good thing when deciding what to do at the wheel of a fast-moving vehicle.So what are the disadvantages of autopilot systems? Maybe one disadvantage is that a small computer problem could cause a serious accident. It could also be argued that in unexpected situations, computers might not be able to respond appropriately; some decisions require human emotions. Another problem might be that if everything were controlled by computers or robots, people wouldn‘t have any jobs.( )67. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Development of AutopilotB. Technology of Future TravelC. A New Driving SystemD. Computerized Cars( )68. Which of the following is the disadvantage of an autopilot system?A. It won‘t make the same mistakes as people do.B. It can point out the best route for the driver.C. It might not respond properly to unexpected situations.D. It does not have human emotions to influence its function.( )69. If some falling rocks roll down toward your car, the autopilot on your car will_______.A. inform you of the dangerB. turn the car right or leftC. do nothing about itD. stop the car( )70. What‘s the author‘s attitude towards the autopilot?A. Approving.B. Objective.C. Negative.D. Doubtful.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）Mass MigrationLook up at the sky one autumn day and you might see a flock of birds in V-formation. 71 All summer, they have lived in the north where they made their nests, laid their eggs, hatched, and raised their young. Soon, snow and ice will cover all their northern breeding grounds, so they must migrate south where food is easier to find. It is necessary to create worldwide bird sanctuaries(保护区) before many of these species become extinct（灭绝）.72 The Arctic tern travels 10,625 miles from one polar region to the other. This may be the longest migration of any animal on Earth. Not all birds migrate. Some are able to adapt to winter by changing their diets.73 For most species, however, it is easier to migrate to climates that are not as severe.Somehow, migrating birds know exactly where they are going and how to get there. It is amazing to think about how birds are able to return to the same place year after year. 74 Other scientists believe that migratory birds navigate by following certain coastlines, mountains, and rivers. However they do it, these amazing creatures always arrive in the right place at the right time. In the spring, they return to their nesting grounds up north to lay their eggs and care for their young.It is important for the people of the world to protect the estuaries (河口)and wetlands . 75 With so many species of birds‘ habitats threatened worldwide, our children may never be able to enjoy the beauty of these migrating wonders.A. These birds stay in the same place all year.B. They are important to endangered species.C. Some birds travel great distances, crossing entire continents and oceans.D. They are flying south where there is warmth and food during the winter.E. Birds fly around the world according to the weather year around year.F. Some scientists think it is possible for birds to use the stars to find their way.G. The birds that migrate south in winter return to different places when weather is warm.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）你的英国朋友Tom打算明年来北京学汉语，来信向你咨询如何才能学好汉语。

Mike made his way back up to the building. He could see a little boy 37 on the floor. “I didn’t even have time to think if he was alive or dead, I just grabbed (抓住) him and 38 out.” Mike heard the floor the sound of the floor above crumbling(破碎)just as they left the building.

As I picked it up , greed( 贪心) suddenly came over me and I decided to 35 it.When I got home from school, I found my mother cooking dinner in the 36 . I proudly held out my prize for her to see. Mom was 37 that I had kept the watch instead of turning it in. Mom then 38 me to drive straight back to the school and take the watch to someone at the office. I started to argue, but after taking a good look at the expression on Mom’s face, I realized that it would ge t me 39 .As time passed，I forgot all about the watch until four years later.While I was attending college, I had managed to get a 40 at a Walmart pushing carts off the parking lot. One morning, I found a checkbook that had been left in a shopping cart. __41 , I gave it to the employee there so that the customer(顾客) who had lost it could pick it up.Later, as I was outside pushing carts, a man came up to me and told me that his wife had left their checkbook in a shopping cart the night before. When he told me his name, I realized that he was the owner of the checkbook I had found. I 42 to him that he could go inside and claim it at the service desk. The look on the man’s face was full of thankfulness. He pulled out his wallet and 43 me some cash(现金), but I refused. I was proud of myself, prouder than I had been in a long time, and I wasn’t about to let something like 44 ruin（毁灭）that.Suddenly, the lesson my mom had taught me that day came into focus.

C大兴Jim was good at playing football. His father was sent tickets during the football season and cheered for him. Although Jim was on the name list of the team, his coach always 35 him as a “walk-on” because he had a skinny, small build. As a result, Jim had no chance to play in a game. But he 36 missed any practice.At the end of the football season, Jim 37 a letter about his father’s death. He asked the coach if he could stop his practice and go back home. The coach put his arms around his shoulder and said, “Take the38 of the week off, you may come back at weekend.”During the third quarter of the game, which was not going well for their team, Jim quietly slipped(溜) 39 the empty locker room and put on his football clothes. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were 40 to see Jim come back so soon. “Coach, please let me play. I’ve just got to play today,” said the young man. Before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands(看台) could not believe their 41 . This little unknown, who had never 42 before, was doing everything right. He ran, passed, blocked like a star. In the closing seconds of the game, Jim intercepted(拦截) a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown. His teammates 43 up and lifted him over their heads.After the game, the coach noticed Jim sitting quietly in the corner alone. He came to him and said, “Kid, I can’t believe it. You were44 !”He looked at the coach with tears in his eyes and said, “Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know my dad was blind? Dad came to 45 my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!”The coach was deeply moved and 46 to accept Jim as a real player on his team.35.

It was then that I learned how 35 it is to have a passion in life.That day 1 went home in Mom’s car. When Mom 36 at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed 37 rags (破旧衣服). He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, because I had seen many like him before. Those people usually 38 unhappy and hopeless.But this man was 39 in some way. He was not sitting down with a sad expression. Instead, he had a 40 in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious (珍贵的) thing he had.“Mo m, why does that man 41 a radio though he’s homeless?” I asked.“He 42 it.” She replied.“But why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He 43 for something that he didn’t need.”“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important.”That man must care so much about 44 for that he bought a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that 45 is the key to life.Since then I am always thinking of what is truly important in life. A home, a meal, clothes—these things are not 46 parts of the life. What we often forget is that we all need a joy, a light in a dark day. We all need a passion which gives a person the happiness they need to keep going.35.

We’re flooding!” he shouted and shook me by the shoulders. That woke 35 up! I ran downstairs to the basement. It was like a swimming pool. My mother and I immediately started to pick up things and take them upstairs. I had no 36 on, so my feet were quite freezing.Things got worse every minute. Within the next hour, we had moved everything that we could to the first floor. The computer, big-screen television and heavy boxes 37 with our most valuable things were taken to safety. 38 , our piano, sofa, washing machine and water heater were all still down there—being 39 . There was nothing we could do.That was the hardest part. Knowing that your home is being destroyed is bad enough, but 40 that you can’t do anything to stop it feels even worse.Water had come in our front door. Rescue 41 were floating in our streets. Mother told me to pack an overnight bag of clothes and valuables and get ready to leave.When it was 42 safe to walk outside, all the people in the neighborhood 43 at the street corner. People became friends, and friends became like family. People 44 each other. We learned later that the National Weather Service had declared the storm a flash flood.I really have 45 something from this flood. I’ve learned what destruction is. I have learned what 46 means. I know in the future, when I watch people’ s lives affected by natural disasters, I can understand them. I will show great pity on them and I will do what I can to help them.35.

I picked up the menu and was to order something for breakfast.“Excuse me,”I looked up and 35 a nice-looking woman standing before me.“Is your name Roger?” 36 asked.“Yes, ” I answered, feeling rather surprised as I had never seen her before.“My name’s Barbara and my husband is Tony,” she said, pointing to a middle-aged man sitting alone at the table by the window. He was 37 and weak.“Tony White, from Landon School in Jacksonville, Florida,” she added.I looked at that man for a few seconds but I didn’t recogni ze him.“I’m really sorry. The name doesn’t ring the bell,” I said.She walked back, began 38 with her husband and once in a while I saw her turn around and look directly at me.I ordered breakfast and a cup of 39 , sitting there, trying to remember who this Tony was. “I must know him,” I thought to myself. “He recognizes me for some reason.” I picked up the coffee cup. All of a sudden it came to me like a flash of lightning.“Tony, the bully, the bad boy!” I could 40 believe my eyes. “My God! He’s so thin now. Not the big boy that I 41 from back in 1997.”Everything came up to my mind. The time this 42 boy had made fun of my big ears in front of the girls in my class, and the time this big bully had pushed me against the walls in the hallway just to make himself 43 a big man to all other students.“I am sorry, Roger,” Tony rolle d by me in the wheelchair, being pushed by his wife, raising his thin, shaking hand. “I am so sorry for 44 that I did to you.”“I’m…I’m er…” I didn’t know what to say to him.After a few months, I received a letter from Barbara.

He was struggling to get blood for her and curiously 36 my blood type. My blood type was the same needed for his daughter. Before that I 37 donated my blood, so I was afraid of doing this and didn’t know what to do.Then suddenly I saw a little girl in the hospital, who was 38 from a critical disease and needed blood from her six-year-old brother. Yes, from her younger brother, why?His brother had 39 suffered with the same disease and by God's kindness 40 by developing the anti-bodies(抗体) needed to fight for the disease.The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the boy if he would be 41 to give his blood to his sister. I saw him 42 for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes, I'll do it if it will save my sister."As the transfusion（输液）progressed, he smiled, seeing the 43 returning to her sister's cheeks. But suddenly, his face grew pale and his 44 faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a 45 voice,"Am I going to die?"Being young, the boy had 46 the doctor; he thought he was going to give her all his blood and 47 his life.I felt 48 , when that young boy, 49 the fact of blood donation, got ready to give his blood, thinking that he will lose his life but save his sister's life. And I, being a mature person, knowing that this will not 50 my life, I will not lose my life, 51 save others’ lives and I was hesitant of doing this.That moment 52 my thoughts and I became enthusiastic about doing this important duty and felt that true 53 by helping save that little girl's life.If any patient dies due to a blood shortage, I will not call this the 54 of doctors, as science is still not able to make blood art ificially.

Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunately, most educators are becoming aware of the fact that students have different interests and abilities. I understand that grades are useful, but grades often limit creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to pursue music, dramatics and sports. Grades force an arbitrary(武断的) standard of success on everyone. I do not demand as some extremists do, that grades be removed immediately. However, I do believe that less emphasis should be placed on grades. I hope that someday grades will become optional at Village High School.Magdalena SmithDrama Club Dear editor,I’d like to say something about grades. Let’s face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions. First, grades motivate students to work at their highest level of competence. Second, they act as a reward for hardworking students and as a punishment to students who do not work hard. Finally, grades are used as an effective standard by which to measure student achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university. I've spoken with a number of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hired primarily on the basis of their grades. My grades helped me land a part-time job and will help me get into university next year. I think grades are extremely important at Village High School.Simon HarperScience Club ( )56. Which of the following is not Magdalena Smith’s opinion?A. Students may give up the chance to learn music and sports for grades.B. Students’ creativity may not be developed for grades.C. Grades should not be used to measure a person’s success.D. Grades should be taken away at once.( )57. We can learn Simon Harper _____.A. believes in the benefits of good gradesB. is concerned about students' creativityC. doesn't work too hard at his studiesD. supports students' interests and abilities( )58. From the second letter, we can infer that Simon Harper is a/an_____.A. teacherB. headmasterC. studentD. advertiserBAs a boy I was always small for my age. I was also five years younger than one of my brothers and seven years younger than the other. As a result I often felt left out when their friends came over to play. I was either too small or too young for whatever they were doing and they didn't want their younger brother listening in on their conversations either. More often than not I found myself outside playing alone and feeling forgotten.I remember one spring afternoon feeling especially lonely as I sat in the yard behind our house. We lived miles from town and I rarely saw my own friends outside of school. I heard my brothers laughing from inside the house and felt a single tear coming down my cheek. At that moment I saw a large brown dog walking over to me. He looked happy and his tail was wagging as well. Even though he didn't know me he greeted me like a long lost friend, licking my chin and sitting beside me on the spring grass. It must have been at least an hour that I petted and talked to this four-legged angel. He let me pour out all my troubles and share my deepest thoughts before he kissed my cheek goodbye and ambled off either to Heaven or his home. I went back inside feeling happy, knowing that no matter what life may hold I was loved. Now over 40 years later I still remember that angel with a smile.I believe that God sent him in that moment of sadness to remind me just how much he loved me. There is nothing more important than knowing we are loved. When we are loved, we will learn to love others. Learning to love helps us to understand ourselves and other people better.( )59. How did the writer fee l when his brothers’ friends came?A. Proud.B. Lonely.C. Worried.D. Happy.( )60. The writer shared his troubles and thoughts with the dog because ______.A. it was his friendB. it could understand himC. it was friendly to himD. it looked like an angel( )61. From Paragraph 2, we can learn that ______.A. the boy met a long lost friendB. the boy had no friends at schoolC.the dog helped the boy realize that he was lovedD.the dog spent the afternoon with the boy and his brothers( )62. The author wrote the story to______.A. encourage people to talk about their troublesB. tell people they should treat animals friendlyC. share his unforgettable experience with usD. show knowing you are loved is the most importantCMost city parks are places where you can escape from big, ugly structures of metal and stone. The Manhattan High Line is different. Raised 25 feet above the ground, this massive metal structure once supported a rail line. The line opened in 1934 to bring trains directly into factories and warehouses. It was hardly used after the 1960s, and much of it was torn down. However, one section remained in an area of Manhattan called Chelsea. Chelsea was becoming more and more valuable as restaurants, art galleries and apartments were built, but the ugly railway structure remained as a dead weight. Everyone knew that at some time, it would have to be removed.But the High Line was not destroyed. In fact, now the old rail line serves as one of the most peaceful places in the city. It holds an elevated park, with beautiful gardens, a sidewalk and great views of the city. The idea to change the rail line into a park came from Joshua David and Robert Hammond. In 1999, they attended a community meeting to decide the fate(命运) of the High Line. David and Hammond were the only people at the meeting interested in saving the structure for its historical significance. Later on, when they asked railway officials to take them up to look at the High Line, they saw a mile and a half of wild flowers growing in the middle of the city, and they realized that the High Line had potential to become a park. There was growing interest in improving urban centers, and so the project quickly won support and funds for construction were easily obtained.The first section of the High Line opened in 2009 and immediately became popular with tourists and locals alike. Each part of the park has a different atmosphere. Some areas are like balconies (阳台)with wonderful city views. Where the rail line goes between buildings, trees are thickly planted. Other sections have wide walkways planted with wild flowers. Only the final section remains the way it has been for the last fifty years – a railway line overgrown with weeds.( )63. The underlined phrase “a dead weight” in Paragraph 1 means_____.A. something with potential to be better.B. something with historical interest.C. something which is a danger to people.D. something useless which slows progress.( )64. According to Paragraph 2, David and Hammond wanted to save the High Line because they_____.A. thought it had historical valueB. wanted to reopen the train lineC. thought it would bring them moneyD. were interested in improving the city( )65. From the last paragraph, we can learn that the park ______.A. is different in its designB. is covered with treesC. didn’t change at allD. became a natural countryside( )66. Which of the following is NOT true about the High Line?A. It is situated above ground level.B. Only part of the line remains.C. It is now a popular park.D. Trains still use the line.DDid you know that there are actually people who have paid for a flight to the moon? In the future, there will be a lot more opp ortunities to travel to faraway places than now… perhaps even as far as the moon. As people adventure further and further away and as planes, trains, cars, and rocket ships become faster, is it safer to have these vehicles controlled by humans or by computers?While many flights by plane are controlled automatically by machines, most people today wouldn’t let their car drive itself. That’s because currently the autopilot function on your car can only keep it on the same course you are travelling on. It wo n’t turn the car right or left. It won’t stop if an animal jumps in the way. However, cars today can sense when something is too close and warn the driver with flashing lights and alarms. Many cars also have GPS（global positioning systems）that tell drivers which road to take and when to turn. These systems, unlike human drivers, never get lost. In the future, it is easy to believe that your car will be better able to drive itself with the aid of computers that can determine the position of your car and the speed it should travel at.In addition to computers being ‘smarter’ than people regarding the best way to go or knowing how close another vehicle is, computers don’t get sick, tired, or angry. This means they won’t make the same mistakes that people make when they are not having a good day. While responding with emotion is a good thing when choosing the best way to deal with a friend’s personal problem, it may not be such a good thing when deciding what to do at the wheel of a fast-moving vehicle.So what are the disadvantages of autopilot systems? Maybe one disadvantage is that a small computer problem could cause a serious accident. It could also be argued that in unexpected situations, computers might not be able to respond appropriately; some decisions require human emotions. Another problem might be that if everything were controlled by computers or robots, people wouldn’t have any jobs.( )67. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Development of AutopilotB. Technology of Future TravelC. A New Driving SystemD. Computerized Cars( )68. Which of the following is the disadvantage of an autopilot system?A. It won’t make the same mistakes as people do.B. It can point out the best route for the driver.C. It might not respond properly to unexpected situations.D. It does not have human emotions to influence its function.( )69. If some falling rocks roll down toward your car, the autopilot on your car will_______.A. inform you of the dangerB. turn the car right or leftC. do nothing about itD. stop the car( )70. What’s the author’s attitude towards the autopilot?A. Approving.B. Objective.C. Negative.D. Doubtful.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）Mass MigrationLook up at the sky one autumn day and you might see a flock of birds in V-formation. 71 All summer, they have lived in the north where they made their nests, laid their eggs, hatched, and raised their young. Soon, snow and ice will cover all their northern breeding grounds, so they must migrate south where food is easier to find. It is necessary to create worldwide bird sanctuaries(保护区) before many of these species become extinct（灭绝）.72 The Arctic tern travels 10,625 miles from one polar region to the other. This may be the longest migration of any animal on Earth. Not all birds migrate. Some are able to adapt to winter by changing their diets.73 For most species, however, it is easier to migrate to climates that are not as severe.Somehow, migrating birds know exactly where they are going and how to get there. It is amazing to think about how birds are able to return to the same place year after year. 74 Other scientists believe that migratory birds navigate by following certain coastlines, mountains, and rivers. However they do it, theseamazing creatures always arrive in the right place at the right time. In the spring, they return to their nesting grounds up north to lay their eggs and care for their young.It is important for the people of the world to protect the estuaries (河口)and wetlands . 75 With so many species of birds’ habitats threatened worldwide, our children may never be able to enjoy the beauty of these migrating wonders.A. These birds stay in the same place all year.B. They are important to endangered species.C. Some birds travel great distances, crossing entire continents and oceans.D. They are flying south where there is warmth and food during the winter.E. Birds fly around the world according to the weather year around year.F. Some scientists think it is possible for birds to use the stars to find their way.G. The birds that migrate south in winter return to different places when weather is warm.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）你的英国朋友Tom打算明年来北京学汉语，来信向你咨询如何才能学好汉语。

2014北京中考二模各区县阅读理解C篇汇总DongchengAt the age of sixteen, I went on my first volunteer program in West Virginia to repair or build homes for poor families. When we arrived, we discovered that the family we were going to help was living in a trailer（拖车式活动房）that was in poor condition, no bigger than two parking spaces. A group of people had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another appeared.We soon decided that the only way was to build a new house. It was something unusual because normally our goal was to repair old homes. The family was pleased with their new house that was 20 by 30 feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.On Tu esday of that week, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, “What do you want for your new room?” Kids in the families we had helped usually wanted toys or posters, so we were surprised when Josh, the oldest boy said, “We just want beds.” T he boys had never slept in a bed. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.On Friday when we saw the truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. They were very excited.That afternoon, while we were setting up the beds, Eric ran into the house to watch us with wide eyes. As Maggie, a member of our group, put one of the pillows on the bed, Eric asked, “What is that?”“A pillow,” she replied.“What do you do with it?” Eric went on asking.“When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” Maggie answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.“Oh . . . that’s soft,” he said, holding it tightly.Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems very urgent（急迫的）, my dad always asks, “Do you have a pillow?” We know exactly what he means.53. Why did the writer’s group build a new h ouse for the family?A. Because it was their normal work.B. Because the family asked them to do it.C. Because the trailer could no longer be repaired.D. Because they thought it was a perfect gift for the family.54. What can we learn from the story?A. The family needed two parking spaces.B. The boys of the family wanted toys and posters.C. The family were excited about the beds and bedding.D. The writer’s group made some furniture for the family.55. What is the best title for this passage?A. The PillowB. A New HouseC. The FamilyD. An Interesting ProgramAACChangpingEvery day, it is easy to see advertisements in English all around us. Look at your own bags and clothes of your classmates. How many different advertisements can you see which use English words? Often, bags and clothes show the name of company that made them. This is a popular form. A special picture or symbol (标志) called a logo is sometimes used. Logos appear on many different products. They are popular because when you see a logo, it helps you to remember that product or company. It is common to see advertisements on TV and hear them on the radio. Most advertisements are very short. Sometimes the advertisers use a short sentence and it is easy for people to say. Nike, for example, has a simple English sentence which is used all around the world: “Just do it.” Advertisements oft en use funny situations as well. It is simple to remember it. All advertisements are designed to make people buy a product. An advertisement for a soft drink, for example, might show a group of young people who are having fun. The young people are all drinking the soft drink. Advertisements are saying to you, “Why d on’t you buy this drink and be like these people? You can be young and modern.” You might think that advertisements are not for you, but the next time you buy a soft drink, ask yourself this question: Why am I buying this particular product? （244）54. From the passage, we know that _______.A. all advertisements around us are written in EnglishB. many bags have the name of the company that made themC. having soft drinks makes a person young and modernD. advertisements are only for young people55. All advertisements are designed to _______.A. sell you something you don’t wantB. make you young and modernC. make you buy the productD. show you what you need to buy56. The best title of this passage is ______.A. advertisements all around usB. all kinds of advertisementsC. to make people buy a productD. advertisements often use funny situationsBCAMengtougouI’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall e nough to sit above the top of it. Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “ is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl,between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”.But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace —it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.But the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times. It was my letter.“In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”53. The passage shows that __________.A. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughterB. Mother was too serious about her daughter in wordsC. Mother wrote to her daughter in careful wordsD.

There are some things that you can do toget your kids to help you clean your house. If you are struggling with the chores (家务)and need your kids to help you, take a look at some of the creative ways in this article.list of chores that need to be done each week. If they complete these chores, you can give them some money. You can also break the list down and tell them they will get so much for each chore that is finished. Older kids, who like to do things on weekends or buy things like video games, will work hard to complete their chores and earn their money. This is also teaching them responsibility. This is teaching them that they must work for what they want.If you are dealing with younger kids, you may want to go with the rewards chart(奖励图表）. This is where you design a chart and list their chores on the chart. For each chore they complete, you can put a red flower beside it. For the rewards, you can also do a number of things, such as going to the park, going out to eat, buying a DVD or something similar. The rewards would be up to you because you know what your kids like.For real small kids, you can turn it into a game. When kids were much younger, you can teach them to dance around and sing as you cleaned. The kids loved it and would do a wonderful job at picking up their toys.So, consider turning cleaning into a game for the real small kids.53. What does the underlined word “allowance” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Good words given by parentsB. Business that needs studyingC. Explanation of responsibilityD. Small change given by parents54. Why can we put a red flower beside the chore on a chart?A. To know what your kids like.B. To know how many chores the kids have done.C. To encourage younger kids to do more chores.D. To go out to eat or do something similar they like.55. What can we know from this article?A. Kids should help parents do more chores.B. Parents should teach kids how to do housework.C. The more chores kids do, the more they love their parents.D. Creative methods can be helpful for parents to get their kids to do houseworkDCDThe practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smart phone, writing by hand has become something of old skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful--both in school and in life.Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology(心理学) at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children learn the skill of writing by hand.Berninger and her workmates carried out a study that looked at the ability of students to complete different writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, people wrote longer articles and more complete sentences.In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a s tudent’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to h ow well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us get our vocabulary, word meaning and ideas. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换) “those words in the mind into written symbols(标志) on paper or keyboard and scree n,” the study said. Seeing thenotice spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the choices given by the co mputer.”53. Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?A. Spelling improves one’s memory of words.B. Spelling ability is closely tied to writing ability.C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.A. Window.B. Emotion.C. Picture.D. Imagination.55. What can we learn from the passage?A. Computers can help people with their choice of words.B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.C. Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.D. Spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.BDCHave you ever had a science class that you look forward to? It doesn’t happen often. But when you have a teacher like Mrs. Rheineck, it’s more than a science class. It’s a science class where learning is easy and fun. There is no getting down to a huge textbook or listening to a teacher about something you don’t care about.My experience with Mrs. Rheineck didn’t start with science class, but with her as my tutor（导师，家庭教师）. I was always a weak reader and wasn’t getting any better. My parents told me I needed to be tutored.One day after school, I went into the library with my mom for my first tutoring time. I had no idea who was tutoring me. My mom practically h ad to pull me into the library. The first thing we did was to play a game to get to know each other and get rid of the awkwardness (笨拙，尴尬). We didn’t even play a reading game.We also went around the library and I got to pick out a book I wanted to read. She didn’t make me read a boring textbook about something I didn’t care about. I didn’t even pick a book. I picked out a magazine about remote control cars. I thought to myself, how bad could it be? I got to read about remote control cars. She told me even though I was reading a magazine, I was still reading. After the first magazine, she picked out a book she liked. I would read a chapter(章) and then she would read a chapter to me, this way I didn’t have to read for long periods of time.As I got better and faster at reading, I was able to read two chapters in the same amount of time, which used to take me to read one chapter.Reading is one of the most important things in high school and college to be successful. If it wasn’t for her,I would not be the reader I am today and I thank her for that.53. Why was the writer tutored by Mrs. Rheineck?A. Because the writer was too shy to talk with others.B. Because the writer found science easy and fun.C. Because the writer liked her science class.D. Because the writer couldn’t read books quickly.54.

I’m sure lots of children of your age will say “yes”. Not only the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags. Doctors are starting to worry that younger and younger students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags being too heavy for them.“It’s hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it’s so heavy,’ said Rick Hammond, an 11-year-old student in the US.Rick is among students who have common school bags with two straps to carry them, but many other students choose rolling bags.But even with rolling bags, getting up stairs and buses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt their backs and necks because of the heavy school bags.But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight.Scott Butch, a back doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%, but it is also important that older children don’t stay with over 15%, because their bodies are still growing. “Children are losing their balance and falling down with their school bags,:”he said.Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin work books for students to take home.One of the best answers is, as some children said, to have no homework at all!53. From the passage we can know that__________.A. only children in China carry too heavy school bagsB. only children in the US carry too heavy school bagsC. children in other countries don’t carry too heavy bagsD. both children in China and the US carry too heavy school bags54. If a child carries a heavy school bag, his___________ will be hurt.A. handsB. feetC. back and neckD. head and arms55. According to the doctor, Scott Butch, if a child in Grade 5 weighs about30 kilos, the school bag he carriesshould not be over________ kilosA. 3B. 4.5C.5D. 5.5DCB。

朝阳二模CPulling off a bandage is so unpleasant,and for certain patients, it ’s also dangerous.Babies and the elderly have weak skin, andpulling away bandages and medical tapecan lead to serious injuries (伤害). In fact,each year, medical tape causes about 1.5 million injuries in the US alone.“This is a problem that all doctors and nurses know well,” says Jeffrey Karp, a professor at Harvard Medical School. “They are waiting for new inventions that will not cause injuries.” That ’s why Karp and his lab are working on an improvement to make fewer injuries when bandages are removed.Traditional medical tape is simply something sticky on a backing, but Karp ’s invention has a middle layer (层). This extra layer takes the most force of removing the tape, which avoids injuries. When it ’s time to pull away the bandage, it moves right off. All that ’s left is a small print that can be easily covered or simply rolled off the skin.Karp ’s tape isn ’t his only invention in medical technology. He wrote an article about a surgical (外科) bandage that could hold fast wounded parts of an operation. Even better, this bandage disappears over time, meaning that doctors never have to go back to remove it. If Karp ’s pain-free bandages come into being as well as his earlier breakthrough, future patients will be much luckier.53. When do usual bandages cause injuries to patients?A. When they are kept on.B. When they are pulled off.C. When they are put on.D. When they are stuck hard.54. How many layers are there in Karp ’s invention?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.55. What is the greatest advantage of Karp ’s surgical bandage?A. It doesn ’t need to be pulled off.B. It can hold fast wounded parts.C. It makes operation much easier.D. It can be used as people ’s skin.（C ）53. B 54. C55. Amedical tape bandage丰台CHappiness is a feeling that lights up your eyes, makesyour steps light and makes you want to sing for no reason.Everyone wants to be happy. But sometimes, a guest comesin without invitation. It’s unhappiness.Don’t let it get youdown. Send it away!When you are happy, the world feels like a better place. As the saying goes: When you smile, the world smiles with you; when you cry, you cry alone. Wearing a smile will make you more charming and help you to win lots of friends. A good mood always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.No matter how happy you are, it’s normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while. Life is full of ups and downs. We can’t change the way life is, but we can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one. To help us do this, it’s good to know some of the factors (因素) that influence happiness.One of the biggest factors is social relationships. People who are close to family and friends are happier than people who don’t have those relationships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence. Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even if you have lots of homework or extra classes, you will still feel that your school life is meaningful and happy. But if you hate school, your negative attitude may cause you to feel bored and upset that you have to do so much work.A third factor is your attitude towards life. How do you feel if you fail in an exam? Maybe you think it’s unfair because you always study hard and should get a good mark. You can't stop blaming(责备) yourself. Or, maybe you accept it. You go through the paper carefully, find out why you made stupid mistakes, and tell yourself, "Take it easy! I’ll do better next time!" Your attitude makes a big difference.Do you smile a lot or wear a long face most of the time?53. What can we know from Paragraph 3?A. We often change bad situations in life.B. We often go upstairs and downstairs in life.C. We have both happy and sad moments in life.D. We spend neither happy nor angry time in life.54. The writer probably agrees that _______________.A. we can’t be happy if we are busy with our studiesB. we should accept our failure and try to do better next timeC. we should keep blaming ourselves when we fail in an examD. we will feel less happy when we are closer to people around us55. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to control our bad feeling.B. What factors make our life easy.C. What factors influence happiness.D. How to make our own happiness.53. C 54. B 55. DCI cycle to work almost every day, but I have to admit that I sometimes take the car in bad weather. Now I share an office with Jimmy who lives near to me. He drives to work every day and, quite often, at the end of the day, he drives to a gym. I don’t see the logic(逻辑). It’s much easier to cycle to work so that you have some exercise as part of your daily routine.I wanted to persuade(劝说) him to cycle to work, so I did some research on a few websites about the benefits of cycling to work. Cycling has some obvious(明显的) advantages over driving. It is cheaper, it is better for the environmen t, and you don’t have to find a parking space. The point about the parking space is an important one as the car park behind our office building is often full. I know that my colleagues(同事) usually spend nearly half an hour looking for a parking space! It is true that cycling is a little slower than going by car, but at the rush hour it doesn’t make much difference. The time it takes to cycle is generally easier to predict than the time it takes to drive. The reason for this is that when there is heavy traffic, people on bicycles can get past, while people in cars have to wait. Strong winds affect(影响) cyclists badly though.There are clear health benefits of cycling even if you only cycle a short distance each day. According to one expert, if you cycle regularly, you should be as fit as a person 10 years younger. As well as being good for your health, cycling can reduce stress. I certainly find that I feel better after my riding on the road. I also find that when I can’t solve a problem at work, the answer often comes to me when I am cycling. Sometimes the harder you think about a problem, the harder it is to find the solution(办法) and you actually need to concentrate less on the problem and relax the mind. Cycling can help to relax our minds.I’m going to say to the people around me until they get on their bikes!53. What’s the second paragraph mainly about?A. Cycling has good points compared with driving.B. Driving is the best way for us to make a journey.C. The parking lot is often filled with plenty of cars.D. Driving to work is much expensive than cycling.54. What does the writer tell us in the third paragraph?A. Cycling is good for our environment.B. Cycling will appear in sports centers.C. Cycling is sure to help us keep healthy.D. Cycling changed Jimmy’s daily routine.55. What does the writer write this passage for?A. To show us it’s so good to drive to work every day.B. To advise us how to stay young by doing exercise.C. To tell us what we ought to do at the traffic rush hour.D. To prove why he cycles to work instead of driving.53. A 54. C 55. DCStudents will get a coupon (优惠券) if they eat up their food at East China University of Science and Technology. Students can collect coupons and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.“It’s been such a surprise,” said Sun Lijun, 19, a student at the university inShanghai. “It has given us one more motivation tofinish our food.”The measure is part of a national “eat-up”campaign(行动) which is organized by students todeal with food waste on campuses(校园).Why only on campuses, you might ask?Because according to a report by Xinhua News Agency, students waste twice as much food as the national average.The campaign on campus food waste is receiving attention across the country. “The aim of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle,” said Tao Siliang, secretary of the Youth League Committee at Shanghai University.But some school food is poorly prepared, so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking measures to improve it.“I’m glad that we’ve reduced food waste since the “eat-up” campaign began. But if we call on students to waste less food, we should also improve the service and food standard on campuses.” said Tao.53. The underlined word “motivation” in Paragraph 2 means__________ in Chinese.A. the reason for the actionB. the chance for the actionC. the condition for the actionD. the experiment for the action54. The purpose of the campaign is mainly to ________.A. further improve the service in universitiesB. receive attention from the societyC. encourage a greener and healthier lifestyleD. improve the school food standard55. The best title for this passage may be _______.A. Enjoy Your Food!B. “Eat-up” Campaign on Campus.C. Meals in Universities.D. Reduce Waste on Campus.(C) 53.A 54.C 55.BMost kids hate doing housework. However, not all hope is lost. There are some things that you can do to get your kids to help you clean your house. If you are struggling with the chores (家务)and need your kids to help you, take a look at some of the creative ways in this article.If you are dealing with older kids, you may want to try the allowance deal. You can give your kids a list of chores that need to be done each week. If they complete these chores, you can give them some money. You can also break the list down and tell them they will get so much for each chore that is finished. Older kids , who like to do things on weekends or buy things like video games, will work hard to complete their chores and earn their money. This is also teaching them responsibility. This is teaching them that they must work for what they want.If you are dealing with younger kids, you may want to go with the rewards chart(奖励图表）. This is where you design a chart and list their chores on the chart. For each chore they complete, you can put a red flower beside it. For the rewards, you can also do a number of things ,such as going to the park, going out to eat, buying a DVD or something similar. The rewards would be up to you because you know what your kids like.For real small kids, you can turn it into a game. When kids were much younger, you can teach them to dance around and sing as you cleaned. The kids loved it and would do a wonderful job at picking up their toys. So, consider turning cleaning into a game for the real small kids.53. What does the underlined word “allowance” in Paraph 2 mean ?A. Good words given by parentsB. Business that needs studyingC. Explanation of responsibilityD. Small change given by parents54. Why can we put a red flower beside the chore on a chart?A. To know what your kids like.B. To know how many chores the kids have done.C. To encourage younger kids to do more chores.D. To go out to eat or do something similar they like.55. What can we know from this article?A. Kids should help parents do more chores.B. Parents should teach kids how to do housework.C. The more chores kids do, the more they love their parents.D. Creative methods can be helpful for parents to get their kids to do housework.（C）53. D 54. C 55. DEvery day, it is easy to see advertisements in English all around us. Look at your own bags and clothes of your classmates. How many different advertisements can you see which use English words? Often, bags and clothes show the name of company that made them. This is a popular form. A special picture or symbol (标志) called a logo is sometimes used. Logos appear on many different products. They are popular because when you see a logo, it helps you to remember that product or company. It is common to see advertisements on TV and hear them on the radio. Most advertisements are very short. Sometimes the advertisers use a short sentence and it is easy for people to say. Nike, for example, has a simple English sentence which is used all around the world: “Just do it.” Advertisements oft en use funny situations as well. It is simple to remember it. All advertisements are designed to make people buy a product. An advertisement for a soft drink, for example, might show a group of young people who are having fun. The young people are all drinking the soft drink. Advertisements are saying to you, “Why don’t you buy this drink and be like these pe ople? You can be young and modern.” You might think that advertisements are not for you, but the next time you buy a soft drink, ask yourself this question: Why am I buying this particular product? （244）54.
