An Imperfect PaintingMy parents always wanted me to be “on top”,so from early on I had the 31to be the best in everything,from getting the highest score in a spelling test to running fastest in a race.In middle school,I realized how many other smarter and faster people there were, It became 32that I was not the best any more, but my parents still held on to theirhope and forced me to try ha rd.To their disappointment, I became less confident and didn‟t want to work harder because,to me, there was no point in making any more33if I was unable to be number one. My grades began to fall; I never practiced the piano; I 34painting.It was all because motivation(动力)to do anything had dropped much.When high school started, I was at a newschool in a newcity. I35to get back my motivation and start over.So I picked up my ever favorite hobby again and enrolled(报名)myself in the art course,36,our art teacher, Mr.Grady, gave us more freedom with our art projects. He would always encourage us to realize our potential(潜力).My first painting was simply a bee sitting on a sunflower, I tried my best, but still found it hard to feel satisfied with it. I knew it was not 37and could hardly get a good grade. But I showed it to Mr.Grady. He didn‟t 38it in a rush. Instead, he gave me advice which only motivated me to work harder on it. For the first time I was happy with the 39of my painting rather than disappointed about its imperfection. I finished all the other projects with higher grades, but I hung the first painting in my room at the end of the term.My parents thought 40me to be number one would motivate me. Instead, it discouraged me much when I was not number one, for I had gone to school only to get a grade, not knowledge, let alone progress.

This Way to DreamlandDaydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being una ware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy._71__They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. __72__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.__73_And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some pe ople use to avoid falling asleep.__74__Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away._75_Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.A. Having interesting things to think about also helps.B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relatively, Coke or Post-it notes.D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.G. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice rec order nearby when you’re in the daydream zone.2(2015.广东卷)请阅读下列应用文及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。

In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV.It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter form the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches ontop of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too m uch water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could- he huddled(蜷缩) in his cave and slept.The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave,becausewithout shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteersearcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.Nicholas mightnot have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watchedGrylls’ survival show. Man vs. Wild. That's where he learned the tips that saved his life, In each episode(一期节目)of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.(1)What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?A.He got lostB.He broke his skis.C.He hurt his eyesD.He caught a cold(2)How did Nicholas keep himself warm?A.He found a shelter.B.He lighted some branches.C.He kept on skiing.D.He built a snow cave.(3)On Tuesday, Nicholas _____.A.returned to his shelter safelyB.was saved by a searcherC.got stuck in the snowD.staved where he was(4)Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he _____.A.did the right things in the dangerous situationB. watched Grylls TV program regularlyC. created some tips for survivalD.was very hard-working17.(2015·北京卷)Revolutionary TV EarsTV Ears has helped thousands of people with various degrees of hearing loss hear the television clearly without turning up the volume(音量) and now it’s better and more affordable than ever!

These an imals typically live betweenthe surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet—as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extre mely delicate and can bedamaged by a simple touch.Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They nevertouch anything unless they’re eating it, or unless something is eating them.”And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? It’s trickier than you might think.The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. B ut some materials slow andscatter(散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scatterin g and absorptionmake an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.But a transparent object doesn’t absorb or scatter light, at least not very much, Light can pass through it wi thout bending or stopping.That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water. You don’t see it ----you see the thingsbehind it.To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials c an stop light because theycontain pigments(色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments, so its tissues won’t absor blight. Accordingto Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.Animals are built of many different materials----skin, fat, and more----and light moves through each at a diffe rent speed. Every time lightmoves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters.Transparent animals use different tricks to fight sc attering. Some animals aresimply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue toscatter light, it is easier to be see--through. Others build a large, clear mass ofnon-living jelly-lie(果冻状的)material and spread themselves over it .Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down lightexactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how th ey’re doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transpare nt milky white.(1)According to Paragraph 1, transparent animals_______A.stay in groupsB.can be easily damagedC.appear only in deep oceanD.are beautiful creatures(2)The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means__________.A.silentlyB.graduallyC.regularlypletely(3)One way for an animal to become transparent is to ________.A. change the direction of light travelB.gather materials to scatter light.C.avoid the absorption of lightD. grow bigger to stop light.(4)The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals________.A.move more slowly in deep waterB. stay see-through even after deathC. produce more tissues for their survivalD.take effective action to reduce Light spreading19.(2015·北京卷) DTechnological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys (调查) on this topicsuggests that parents today continue to be “very” or“somewhat” overlyprotective even after their children move into collegedormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it wasa generation ago.This is usually interpreted as a sign that today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.In the context (背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involveme nt withtheir grown children.If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would thishave been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn’t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents - today’s grandparents - wouldhave called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent fromhome. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life,today and in the past.Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyondthe role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college.But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire byparents to keep their children under their wings.(1)The surveys inform us of ______A. the development of technologyB.the changes of adult children’s behaviorC. the parents’ over-protection of their college childrenD.the means and expenses of students’ communication(2)The writer believes that ______.A.parents today are more protective than those in the pastB.the disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantegesC.technology explains greater parental involvement with their childrenD.parents' changed attitudes lead to college children's delayed independence(3)What is the best title for the passage?A.Technology or AttitudeB. Dependence or IndependenceC.Family Influence or Social ChangesD.College Management or Communication Advancement(4)Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?A.B.C.D.E.三.写作题20.(2015·北京卷)假如你是红星中学学生李华。
2015朝阳第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)Personalized ExerciseAs the start of every year, many of us promise ourselves that a certain number of times a week we will go to the gym or attend an exercise class. But finally many of us just struggle to fit exercise into our lives, or start off well and then give up. Why do we have a good plan at the beginning and fail to achieve it in the end? How can we deal with the problem? 71It is important to determine your motivation first. Are you mainly interested in de-stressing or in getting fitter? If your goal is relaxation, then ask yourself if you want to do it energetically. 72 If you have a calmer style, you can do something quite different. You could choose solitary exercise, such as walking the dog or doing some gardening.73 There are quite a lot of them, such as walking and running groups, dance classes, etc. On your own, you could go horse riding or swimming, or just download fitness exercise programs and do it at home.74 If you have free time at the weekend, you could book some time with a personal trainer, who can come to your house, or you could meet him at the gym. If your life is not as regular, you could choose the next couple of minutes you have to try an exercise DVD, or put your running shoes on and run for any length of time.As you see, everything counts when you are doing exercise. Whatever your lifestyle is, you will be able to have something that suits you. 75 Just sit down with a cup of tea, read this article again, and have a think about your options. Then finish the tea, get up, get going, and don’t stop.A. Good exercise is necessary for physical health.B. The key could be to find the right type of exercise.C. If it is fitness you are after, group activities will be suitable.D. You’d better create a personalized plan to get you into shape.E. In this case, a type of exercise based on boxing may be right for you.F. In other words, you can always find personalized exercise by yourself.G. For people who are extremely busy, it is easier to fit exercise into daily lives.2015东城第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)We all regard receiving presents as a pleasant experience and yet it can be one of the most awkward situations. It is often difficult to look pleased when you receive a gift which is entirely useless or the wrong size.71 However, you have no right to change an article purchased just because it does not fit or is not to your liking. Worse still, the agreement on the sale is between the person who bought it and the shop.So you will have to tell your favorite aunt that the T-shirt does not fit. But an exchange is not always that simple because there has to be a good reason for it. 72 For example, if the buyer was told that a switch was voice operated and later found out it was not, then action could be taken. You would have the right to return it and get the money back.But if you are returning something, no matter what the reason is, you will be expected to have proof of purchase. If the receipt cannot be found, then it is possible to use another proof of purchase such as a credit card receipt.73Man y big stores have a much more tolerant policy towards returns and see it as a gesture of goodwill to exchange goods without question. Stores including Marks & Spencer are well k nown for their “no argument” policy on returned goods. 74So if a shop refuses to exchange the goods or to offer a refund(退款), the seller is likely to be within his legal rights unless there is something wrong with the goods. In that case, the boot is on the other foot. You have every right to demand a cash refund or a replacement, but only if you have returned it within a “reasonable” time.75 Some shops and stores expect things to be returned within a week of purchase, while others may per mit a much longer time limit. In any case if you return a thing after what is considered a “reasonable” time, then allyou are legally entitled to is the cost of repair.A. It is unlike anything you would buy for yourself.B. If all of these have been lost, you may have to rely on a witness.C. However, shoppers should remember this is a privilege, not a right.D. Unfortunately, the law does not explain what is meant by “reasonable”.E. All you can do is exchange it after your friend or relative has gone home.F. Either the thing has to be broken or unsuitable for the job it was intended to do.G. You should make clear what your legal position is before returning goods to the shops.2015丰台第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

For serious birders who regularly observe birds in the wild, ignoring climate change isn’t possible. We have been seeing and documenting the effects of a warming climate since at least the 1950s.46 Glossy black great-tailed grackles (美洲黑羽椋鸟), for example, previously found primarily in the tropics (热带), first reached southeastern California in 1964. They are now found throughout most of the state.New research from the National Audubon Society highlights the dangers of the trend. For its new report, “Survival by Degrees,” Audubon scientists analyzed the current geographic ranges of 604 North American bird species, and modeled how those ranges would change at different levels of warming. At a global temperature rise of three degrees Celsius, they found that 389 of those species—or nearly two-thirds of those studied—would become endangered, losing much of their current habitat. 47Why does this matter to anyone who’s not a bird watcher? For one thing, birds play a crucial role in the ecology, keeping down insect populations and serving as food themselves for larger predators (食肉动物). 48 Their shifting ranges warn of increasing droughts, floods, fires, rising seas and unlivable cities.49 Audubon scientists modeled what would happen at lesser levels of warming, and the results are striking. Limiting warming to 1.5 degrees would reduce the danger for three-quarters of those threatened birds. Audubon’s report “Survival by Degrees” is not a depressing forecast butrather a call to action. It stresses the need for action at every level, by individuals and governments alike, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.As a lifelong birder, I’m proud of the role my tribe has played in documenting the effects of climate change. When local conditions change, particular types of frogs or wildflowers may decrease and disappear, few will notice. 50 I hope people can pay close attention to the urgent message in this new report and work together for solutions. Birds tell us we don’t have time to wait.A. We still have time to do something about it, however.B. But they also serve as a visible symbol of broader environmental shifts.C.

2015年北京市朝阳区高考英语一模试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________I、单选题(本大题共15小题,共45.0分)1.-Are you doing your homework?-No,I'm writing a short play.It _____ at the Christmas party.()A.will be put onB.will put onC.puts onD.is put on【答案】A【解析】答案:A.put on,上演.根据谓语上演("put on")与主语它("it")构成逻辑上的动宾关系,因为正在写,所以上演应该是将来的动作,即一般将来被动的关系,表示短剧将被上演,选will be put on.--你在做你的家庭作业吗?--没有,我在写一部短剧,它将在圣诞节晚会上上演.熟悉每个时态的具体用法并结合具体的句子语境来判断正确答案.2.In order to keep fit,the old man makes it a rule _____ for a walk after supper every day.()A.goingB.to goC.goD.gone【答案】B【解析】答案:B本题考查动词不定式作宾语补足语的用法.当动词不定式作动词宾语,同时带了补语时,要用it充当形式宾语,而将真正的宾语动词不定式后置,即动词+形式宾语it+宾补+不定式宾语.故选B.为了保持健康,这位老人把每天饭后散步作为一条生活规律.动词不定式是非谓语动词是一种,表示未发生的动作,用法较多.常用来作定语,主语,宾语,补语,状语等.3.---Steve,the vacation is coming soon.Have you found a summer job yet?---I suppose I can work at the boy's camp _____ I worked last summer.()A.thatB.whereC.whichD.what【答案】B【解析】答案B.分析句子结构可知,此处为定语从句,"_____ I worked last summer"作名词"the boy's camp"的后置定语,先行词为"the boy's camp 指地点",从句中不缺少主、宾、表等主要成分,缺少地点状语,应该用关系副词"where",故选B.--史蒂夫,假期马上来了.你找到一份暑期工作了吗?--我认为可以在我去年暑期工作过的男生夏令营里工作.本题考查定语从句.解答此类题目首先要读懂句意分析成分,找出先行词和定语从句.然后分析定语从句中是否缺成分,如果缺少主宾表,要用关系代词(which、that、who、whose、whom、as),如果缺少状语,要用关系副词(where,when或why).4.Sally was excited to meet Susan at the party last night.They _____ each other since they g raduated from Oxford University in 2010.()A.haven't seenB.hadn't seenC.didn't seeD.don't see【答案】B【解析】答案:B根据句意可知,"她们没见过面"这一动作是发生在2010年大学毕业之后到昨晚之前这段时间里,即表示是在过去的过去发生的动作,要用过去完成时(had+done);故选B 昨晚Sally在派对上见到Susan感到很兴奋,自从2010年在牛津大学毕业后他们就没见过面.本题考查了过去完成时的用法(had+done).做时态题的关键是要根据句意提示,判断出动作发生的时间;由于本题指的是发生在过去某时间之前的动作;因此需要使用过去完成时.5.-We've only got this small bookcase.Will that do?-No._____ I was looking for was something much bigger and stronger.()A.WhatB.WhereC.ThatD.Which【答案】A【解析】答案:A.本题考查名词性从句里的主语从句,根据look for sth.可以判断出该句子是缺少宾语的,可排除作状语的B;that 在名词性从句中不充当成分和意义,可排除C;what 即可以充当主语,也可以充当宾语,Which作关系代词表示从确定选择对象中的选择一个,不符合,可排除.因此,选A.--我们只是得到这个小书柜,那行吗?--不,我想找的是更大的更牢固的.本题考查主语从句,要会分析句子的成分,并且掌握what引导主语从句表示的是一种内容,可在句中作主语、宾语或表语等.6.I will wait _____ 6:30,but then I'm going home.()A.fromB.atC.afterD.until【答案】D【解析】答案DA项"来自,从";B项"在…地点,场所";C项"在…之后";D项"直到""until 6:30"表示直到六点半,"until"用于肯定句中表示"做某事直到某时",动词必须是延续性的.根据句子"but then I'm going home"可知,说明我会一直等到6:30,但是然后(6:30后)我就回家了.我会一直等到六点半,但是然后我就回家了.本题考查介词辨析.解答此类题目首先要读懂句意,理解每个选项介词的意思,然后根据上下文语境锁定合适的介词.平时要加强介词的积累.7.Studies show that people who have a glass of wine per day do better than

climbB.climbingC.climbD.climbed【答案】B【解析】答案:B本题考查感官动词和现在分词的搭配用法.feel sb/sth doing sth感到某人或某物正在干什么;题干中something与动词climb构成主动进行关系,用现在分词表示.故选B.啊!我能感到有东西向我腿上爬!肯定是只虫子.现在分词是非谓语动词的一种,用来表示主动进行的动作.学习时要把握特征,同时要区分过去分词,过去分词表示被动完成的动作.9.She doesn't speak our language,_____ she seems to understand what we say.()A.forB.andC.yetD.or【答案】C【解析】答案:C.A项"为,为了;因为";B项"和";D项"或者;否则";根据句意及两个分句之间的转折关系可知,虽然她不会说我们的语言,然而她好像能听懂我们说的话,因此用"yet 然而,但是".她不会说我们的语言,然而她好像能听懂我们说的话.本题考查连词的辨析.解答此类题目首先要读懂句意,理解每个选项中连词的意思,然后根据上下文语境锁定合适的连词.平时要加强连词的积累.10.---Congratulations!I hear you've won the first prize in the singing competition.---You _____ be

mistaken搞错了,可以知道句意表达的是肯定推测.故选A.-恭喜!我听说你在歌唱比赛中获得了一等奖.-你一定搞错了,我上的是舞蹈班.情态动词的用法是英语中常考的语言点.通常考查的方式有虚拟和推测,本题考查的是情态动词的推测用法,must一定是.11.If it _____ earlier,the printing machine would not have broken down.()A.has been repairedB.is repairedC.had been repairedD.was repaired【答案】C【解析】答案:C题干中the printing machine would not have broken

birthplace,with the intention of making the pilgrimage(朝圣)to Mecca…to leave all my friends,to abandon my home as birds abandon their nests."So begins an old manuscript in a library in Paris-the travel diary of Ibn Battuta.Almost two centuries before Columbus,this young Moroccan set off for Mecca,returning home three decades later as one of history's great travelers.Driven by curiosity,he journeyed to remote corners of the Islamic world,traveling through 44modern countries,three times as far as Marco Polo.Little celebrated in the West,his name is well known among Arabs.In his hometown of Tangier,a square,a hotel,a cafe,a ferry boat,and even a hamburger are named after him.Ibn Battuta stayed in Mecca as a student for several years,but the urge to travel soon took over.In one adventure,he traveled to India seeking profitable employment with the sultan-the Muslim ruler of Delhi.On the way,he described his group being attacked in the open country by 80men on foot,and two horsemen:"…I was hit by an arrow and my horse by another,but God in his grace preserved me…"In Delhi,the sultan gave him the position of judge,based on his previous study at Mecca.But the sultan had an unpredictable character,and Ibn Battuta looked for an opportunity to leave.When the sultan offered to finance a trip to China,he agreed.Ibn Battuta set off in three ships,but misfortune struck while he was still on the shore.A sudden storm grounded and broke up two ships,scattering (散播)treasure and drowning many people and horses.As he watched,the third ship,with all his belongings and slaves-one carrying his child-was carried out to sea and never heard from again.After a lifetime of amazing adventures,Ibn Battuta was finally ordered by the Sultan of Morocco to return home to share his wisdom with the world.Fortunately,he agreed and wrote a book that has been translated into numerous languages,allowing people everywhere to read about his unparalleled journeys.40.What can we learn about Ibn Battuta from the passage?______A.He had great interest in the Islamic world.B.He returned to his homeland to write a book.C.His journeys were less important than Marco Polo's.D.His journeys were very common for people of that time.41.The Sultan of Delhi gave Ibn Battuta a position of judge because ______ .A.Ibn Battuta had studied in MeccaB.Ibn Battuta had been a judge beforeC.Ibn Battuta had worked as a translatorD.Ibn Battuta had traveled to many countries42.Which is the best title for the passage?______A.The Learned Ibn BattutaB.A Visitor to MeccaC.The Travels of Ibn BattutaD.Desire for Adventures.【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】A 【小题3】C【解析】41.答案A 细节理解题根据第二段中"Driven by curiosity,he journeyed to remote corners of the Islamic world."以及"He had great interest in the Islamic world."可知伊本•白图泰的旅行是出于对伊斯兰世界的好奇,他对伊斯兰世界有极大兴趣,故答案选A.42.答案A 细节理解题根据第三段中"the sultan gave him the position of judge,based on his previous study at Mecca"可知国王赐予伊本•白图泰法官的职务是因为伊本•白图泰在麦加的求学经历.故答案选A.43.答案C 主旨大意题本文主要介绍了伊本•白图泰的旅行经历并赞美了伊本•白图泰举世无双的成就,所以最合适的题目应为The Travels of Ibn Battuta.本文介绍了旅行家伊本•白图泰,以及他在游历过程中的一些经历.最后在摩洛哥苏丹王的要求下,伊本•白图泰将自己的游历写成一本书,向世人介绍他那无与伦比的旅行经历.做阅读题时,首先需要通读全文,把握文章的主旨大意;其次,快速浏览后面的题目,并结合问题到文中相应的段落去寻找答案;另外,在平时的阅读训练中,要学会找文章的中心段,或段落的中心句,并加以概括,从而提炼出文章或段落的主旨大意CCulture and CuisineThe United States is known for jazz and blue jeans.But travel to Paris and ask your average French citizen about American cuisine (烹饪)and he's likely to answer,"McDonalds."Ask the same thing of any American citizen on any American street and I'm afraid you'd get the same answer,or something close to it.Hamburgers and hotdogs and fries are all fine,but with American malls and other outlets standardizing everything from clothing to food,the sad truth is that American cuisine is becoming more homogeneous-all the same-no matter where you live.True,many Americans are eating more varied foods these days,but these are largely the cuisines of immigrant groups,and they are quite likely to be affected by homogenization of American cuisine.So what exactly is American cuisine?Well,to some extent it is a reflection of our melting pot culture,meaning that Europeans made huge contributions in the form of wheat,dairy products,pork,beef and poultry.But American cuisine also includes products that once were known only to the New World,including potatoes,corn,pumpkin,sweet potatoes,and peanuts.The one region of the country where you still find all these things in daily use is the Deep South.The South lost the Civil War,but children of the southerners are winning the battle to preserve and advance their cooking traditions-and in this case one of the few cuisines can truly be called American,which is why we're pleased to have Low Country cuisine in this issue of food creation.That's right,grits and gravy are back in a big way in cities like Charleston and Savannah.Truth is,they never really left,but up until a decade ago Low Country cuisine was more common at home than in restaurants.In fact,a large number of tourists now go to the lower Atlantic

"The 13th of June, 1325, I left Tangier, my birthplace, with the intention of making the p ilgrimage(朝圣)to Mecca…to leave all my friends, to abandon my home as birds abandon their nests."So be gins an old manuscript in a library in Paris-the travel diary of Ibn Battuta.Almost two centuries before Columbus, this young Moroccan set off for Mecca, returning h ome three decades later as one of history's great travelers.Driven by curiosity, he journeye d to remote corners of the Islamic world, traveling through 44modern countries, three times as far as Marco Polo.Little celebrated in the West, his name is well known among Arabs.In his hometown of Tangier, a square, a hotel, a cafe, a ferry boat, and even a hamburger are na med after him.Ibn Battuta stayed in Mecca as a student for several years, but the urge to travel soon took over.In one adventure, he traveled to India seeking profitable employment with the sultan-the Muslim ruler of Delhi.On the way, he described his group being attacked in the open co untry by 80men on foot, and two horsemen: "…I was hit by an arrow and my horse by anothe r, but God in his grace preserved me…"In Delhi, the sultan gave him the position of judge, bas ed on his previous study at Mecca.But the sultan had an unpredictable character, and Ibn B attuta looked for an opportunity to leave.When the sultan offered to finance a trip to China, he agreed.Ibn Battuta set off in three ships, but misfortune struck while he was still on the shore.A sudden storm grounded and broke up two ships, scattering (散播)treasure and drowning many people and horses.As he watched, the third ship, with all his b elongings and slaves-one carrying his child-was carried out to sea and never heard from again.After a lifetime of amazing adventures, Ibn Battuta was finally ordered by the Sultan of Mor occo to return home to share his wisdom with the world.Fortunately, he agreed and wrote a book that has been translated into numerous languages, allowing people everywhere to rea d about his unparalleled journeys.(1)What can we learn about Ibn Battuta from the passage?________A He had great interest in the Islamic world.B He returned to his homeland to write a book.C His journeys were less important than Marco Polo's.D His journeys were very common for people of that time.(2)The Sultan of Delhi gave Ibn Battuta a position of judge because________.A Ibn Battuta had studied in Mecca.B Ibn Battuta had been a judge before.C Ibn Battuta had worked as a translator.D Ibn Battuta had traveled to many countries.(3)Which is the best title for the passage?________A The Learned Ibn Battuta.B A Visitor to Mecca.C The Travels of Ibn Battuta.D Desire for Adventures.19. Culture and CuisineThe United States is known for jazz and blue jeans.But travel to Paris and ask your averag e French citizen about American cuisine (烹饪) and he's likely to answer, "McDonalds."Ask the same thing of any American citizen on any American street and I'm afraid you'd get the same answer, or something close to it.Hamburgers and hotdogs and fries are all fine, but with American malls and other outlets s tandardizing everything from clothing to food, the sad truth is that American cuisine is beco ming more homogeneous (同样的)-all the same-no matter where you live.True, many Americans are eating more varied foods these days, but these are largely the cuisines of immigrant groups, and they are quite likely to be affected by homogenization of American cuisine.Grits and GravySo what exactly is American cuisine? Well, to some extent it is a reflection of our melting po t culture, meaning that Europeans made huge contributions in the form of wheat, dairy prod ucts, pork, beef and poultry.But American cuisine also includes products that once were kn own only to the New World, including potatoes, corn, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and peanuts. The one region of the country where you still find all these things in daily use is the Deep S outh.The South lost the Civil War, but children of the southerners are winning the battle to preserve and advance their cooking traditions-and in this case one of the few cuisines can truly be called American, which is why we're plea sed to have Low Country cuisine in this issue of food creation.That's right, grits and gravy a re back in a big way in cities like Charleston and Savannah.Truth is, they never really left, but up until a decade ago Low Country cuisine was more common at home than in restaurants. In fact, a large number of tourists now go to the lower Atlantic region in order to experienc e this extraordinary cuisine for themselves.Time will tell whether Low Country cuisine bec omes popular in other regions of the country in the way that, say, Italian cuisine has, but it's amazing and inspiring to see one of our true cultural treasures enjoying renewed popularityin these increasingly homogeneous times.(1)According to the passage,American cuisine impresses people as being________.A dull and changeless.B rich and various.C popular and delicious.D disag reeable and unpleasant.(2)It can be seen that the writer feels regretful that________.A cuisines of other countries play a more important role in America.B American cuisi ne has become increasingly lacking in variety.C American cuisine tends to vary becaus e of immigration.D American cuisine is being changed by foreign cuisines.(3)From the passage,we know that grits and gravy________.A were cooked with new materials after the Civil War.B are gaining popularity in the s outh of America.C were more popular over ten years ago.D are seldom served in restaurants.(4)What's the writer's attitude towards the renewal of Low Country cuisine in America?________A Concerned and cautious.B Hopeless and doubtful.C Positive and supportive.D Critical and disapproving.20. The Enigma(谜)of BeautyThe search for beauty spans centuries and continents.Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4, 000years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup.In 1 8th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发) of long, white hair to make themselves attractive.Today, people continue to devote a lo t of time and money to their appearance.There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive: beauty is power.Studies s uggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as frien dlier.But what exactly is beauty? It's difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we s ee it.And our awareness of it may start at a very early age.In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs.The faces on the pictures had been rated fo r attractiveness by a group of college students.In the studies, the babies spent more time lo oking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers .In studies by psychologists, men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders a nd a narrow waist.According to scientists, the mind unconsciously tells men and women th at these traits-the full lips, clear skin, strong shoulders-equal health and genetic well-being. Not everyone thinks the same way, however."Our hardwiredness can be changed by all s orts of expectations-mostly cultural, "says C.Loring Brace, an anthropologist at the University of Michigan.Wh at is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another.Look at most Western fas hion magazines: the women on the pages are thin.But is this"perfect"body type for women worldwide? Scientists'answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies aro und the world.They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded over weight in Western cultures.For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives.But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another.Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard.Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beh older.(1)People's ideas about beauty________.A have existed since ancient times.B can be easily described.C have little influen ce on a person's success.D are based upon strict criteria.(2)In Paragraph 3,the babies in the study________.A were rated for their appearance.B were entered in a beauty contest.C were sh own photos of a group of college students.D were able to tell attractive faces from unat tractive ones.(3)The underlined word"traits"in Paragraph 4probably means________.A qualitiesB. C judgmentsD.(4)We can learn from the passage that________.A the ideas of beauty vary as people grow up.B the search for beauty is rooted in lackof confidence. C the standards for beauty are based on scientific researches. D the understanding of beauty depends on cultural backgrounds.四、七选五21. Virtual (虚拟) TeamsVirtual teams are a great way to enable teamwork in situations where people are not sitting in the same office at the same time.(1)________ This is particularly so for businesses that use virtual teams to build global presence,or need less common skills or knowledge from people who are unwilling to travel.Virtual teams are governed by the same basic principles as traditional teams.(2)________ It is the way the team members communicate.They rely on special communication c hannels enabled by modern technologies,such as emails,faxes,and teleconferences,and alike.Due to more limited communication channels,the success of virtual teams is much more sensitive to the type of project the group works on,what people are selected,and how the team is managed.(3)________ One challenging case is the projects that rely heavily on integrated work.That is to s ay,when each person's work depends significantly on what someone else is doing at the same m oment,like in a sports team,there is an ongoing heavy exchange of information in real time,and the tasks have to go through a strict order within a short time.Not everyone can perform well in a virtual team environment.(4)________ Another important quality is communication skills.The team members must be able to communicate clearly and positively.Managers of virtual teams need to pay much more attention to having clear goals,performance standards,and communication rules.People have various assumptions on what to expect from each ot her.(5)________One of the biggest challenges of virtual teams is building trust between the team members.Trust is important for unblocking communication between members and increasing motivati on of each person in the team.The issue of trust needs special attention at any stage of team existence.A.Yet,there is one significant difference.B.Not every type of project is suitable for a virtual team.C.A virtual team can choose whatever project they like to work on.D.The members must be self-motivated and able to work independently.E.Such teams are now widely used by companies and organizations to cut business costs.F.Members of virtual teams communicate quite well although they never meet face-to-face.G.To avoid misunderstanding,clear rules that everyone understands and agrees on are necessary.五、提纲类作文22. 你的美国朋友Chris目前在北京学习汉语,他对中国传统文化非常感兴趣.本周五下午你校将要举办一个文化讲座,请你根据以下提示给他写一封电子邮件,邀请他来参加.1.农业大学张教授讲解中国茶文化的历史和传播;2.讲座后有交流和品茶活动;3.你将陪同Chris并帮其翻译讲解.注意:1.词数不少于50.2.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯.3.开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数.Hi Chris,.Yours,Joe.23. 假设你是红星中学2014~2015学年高二(1)班的学生李华,上周日你班组织到首都图书馆参加一天的文化志愿活动,请根据以下四幅图的先后顺序,用英语写一篇日记,记述活动的全过程。
2017东城一模How to Bring Our Community TogetherCanada is a nation that prides itself on multi-culturalism and opportunity. __71___ Building social connections and a sense of belonging brings people together in ways that strengthen individual relationships as well as whole communities.There are several things that we can do to develop strong social connections and a sense of belonging:___72__ One of the simplest ways to bring a community together is through shared experience. Events like an international food festival, a sports league featuring activities from around the world, and health and wellness programs drawing on different cultures, are excellent ways of bringing people together.Think outside our box. ___73__ Many of us get caught up in our own routines and practices and forget that there are other ways of doing things. Try talking to different community members, ranging from youths to seniors, to understand their opinions of the world.___74__Try new things. Positively influencing our community can go beyond volunteering our time and resources. Consider getting involved in our community by working for the 2017 Census(人口) as an enumerator(普查员) or a crew leader. Census enumerators are responsible for identifying dwellings on maps, conducting personal interviews, and following up with respondents in person and by phone, while crew leaders are responsible for leading, training and supervising a team of enumerators. ___75___A strong feeling of unity in a community can make residents feel comfortable and at home.A. Plan community events.B. Encourage community members to do some community service work.C. Social connections offer community members chances to know each other better.D. Our multi- cultural tradition provides a welcoming environment for individuals and families.E. Learning about different cultures and practices can open our mind to a whole new way of life.F. Invite individuals of different cultures to participate in community planning to ensure that every voice is heard.G. These positions provide an opportunity to meet new people and build relationships with members of our community.71.D 72.A 73.E 74.F 75.G2017西城一模Stop Negative Talk“I’m so fat,” one of your friends says. The girl next to her joins in, “Well, I hate my hair today.” Without thinking, you respond: “No, you are not fat! I am fat. And my hair is flat and boring.” 71It is easy for people to engage in self-critical conversations, and once it starts there is often pressure for you to join in. 72 Maybe it is because “just talking” feels harmless. But before you know it, those opinions flow out of your conversations and into your life, where they start eating away at your self-respect.73 When you start talking about yourself in a negative way, you are not only affecting your self-respect, but your friends’! When you criticize yourself, your friends might think you have the same standards for them. You have heard that it is important to treat others the way you want to be treated, but there is also value in treating yourself like you treat your friends. If you wouldn’t criticize your friend for the same thing, chances are that you are being too hard on yourself. So, don’t start it.But what if someone else starts? For example, your friend feels insecure abouthow well he played in his soccer game, so he puts himself down: “I suck at soccer.”74 Ask him, “Do you really think that? Why?” Maybe he is actually upset about a comment someone made, or is just getting down on himself over one bad play. Whatever it is, talking through the real issue will help him more than slipping into another negative talk.It is important to talk to your friend about your insecurities, but make sure you are not talking about them just to put yourself down. 75 Instead of just focusing on the negative, talk about what makes you and your friends beautiful and unique—including what you love about your body and what you have accomplished. When you show yourself love, you set yourself as an example, and everyone benefits from you positively.A. Negative talk affects self-respect.B. Criticizing yourself helps nobody.C. But why do we hesitate to praise ourselves?D. But why is it acceptable to talk so negatively?E. All it takes is just one comment and the negative talk starts.F. It is better to resist negative conversations and create more balanced ones.G. Before everyone puts himself down, see if you can get to the root of the problem.71. E 72. D 73. B 74. G 75. F2017朝阳一模The Tower and the GloryA large man jumps onto my shoulders. He is quickly followed byanother slightly smaller man who catches my belt and moves up.Another follows. Then I begin to move slowly from on side to another dangerously.A castell is a human tower built traditionally in festivals in Spain.The activity of making human towers began almost 200 years ago near Tarragona, just south of Barcelona. 71 It has become an annual event in some areas of the country. Usually it is considered a success once all castellers have climbed into their appointed places. On November 16, 2010, castells were declared to be one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.72 It is a formation of several people in which two or more people support a level of higher people, who in turn may support other higher levels of people. Each person is wound into a long narrow piece of cloth worn around the waist to help other people hold tightly when they climb. Typically, the number of the people in each level is one greater than the level immediately above it, resulting in a triangular structure.73At first I’d like to go on top to enjoy the glory, but the clu b’s president indicated a little girl who looked as though she had been raised on the top. It was she who had pride of place on top of the tower. For my first try-out I was given the role of second hands. Once I had assumed my position, people began to climb up me to the tower without warning. 74 My hard work must have been appreciated because I was quickly promoted to support the bottoms of the first level of the tower.My performance in the “hands” section was obviously satisfactory. 75 I was really proud of that, since it was a clear gesture that I had been fully accepted.A. Building a good human tower takes team work and skills.B. Within seconds I assisted in the formation of a three- level tower.C. Each team is famous for its tallest and most complex tower of people.D. Once a tower is built, try and see if the group can hold it for a count of 30.E. Since then it’s been popular, with groups competing to build higher structures.F. Before long I was called forward and given the great honor of the President’s Belt.G. I hoped to change my position because I knew that this activity required particular skills.71-75 EADBF2017海淀一模Freshers’ WeekIn British universities, new students have a special name: they are called Freshers. After their A-level exams, young people in the UK often make a fresh start by going to university, which can involve leaving their family and moving to a new city. __71__Freshers’ Week is a chance to make lots of new friends and try out different hobbies. Most universities in the UK have a Union building: a place where students go to have fun. __72__ It also hosts various societies, including sports teams, political groups, etc. Students buy a membership to be part of a society and go to social events to meet others with similar interests. Sometimes there are quite a lot of students in lectures so it is difficult to get to know people in class. Therefore, each subject has its own club, such as the English Society and the Philosophy Society.__73__ Tours of the town, creative workshops and parties are great ways to socialize with others. Sometimes famous singers come and play concerts especially for the new students of the university. There are also opportunities to go on trips to theme parks or other big cities nearby.Students often move into “halls of residence” in the ir first year. __74__ This is an excellent way to make friends but sometimes it can be difficult if you don’t get along with your new flat-mates or if the shared area gets very messy.Freshers’ Week can be quite an exhausting experience because so many act ivities happen at once. A lot of students feel homesick when they first arrive on campus and keep themselves very busy to avoid feeling sad about leaving their family. Some students use their new liberty to drink a lot of alcohol and eat unhealthy food during Freshers’ Week. __75__ However, it is supposed to be the best week of your life, and it is also an opportunity to make friends. Remember that it is only the beginning of your time at university and that you have three years ahead of you.A. Usually it has shops, bars and even underground nightclubs.B. They live in apartments with their own bedrooms but share a kitchen.C. The best part of it is that you can share your interests with people around.D. In Freshers’ Week, lots of activities are organiz ed for Freshers to meet each other.E. Then comes the great opportunity to make friends, join clubs and settle into university life.F. This can cause “Freshers’ flu”: people get ill after a week of late nights and non-stop parties.G. The first week of un iversity life is called Freshers’ Week and is both anexciting and scary experience.71. G 72. A 73. D 74.B 75. F2017石景山一模How to Have a Successful Teenage LifeEveryone wants to succeed in their life, don’t they ? Even as a teenager, you ca n achieve success in your life; it really isn’t that hard. 71• Do well in school. No matter how boring it is now, education will help you be a productive member in society. Try your best for excellence in school: listen to the teachers, do your homework, study, and get good grades. Doing so will help you get into a better university, which will enable you to have a bright future. 72• Do good in your community(社区). V olunteering can not only improve your community’s status, it could make you h appier.

Recently, however, some dogs have taken a different role in people’s lives—therapy dogs.71 Some therapy dogs visit patients in hospitals or nursing homes, while others visit children in schools and libraries. They are there to help children become better readers.Reading programs that use therapy dogs have been in existence for more than ten years. All therapy dogs of this program are registered with an organization that tests the dogs to make sure they have the right personality for the job.72 Both the dogs and the handlers are volunteers with the reading program.At the start of a reading therapy session, a child and a dog are introduced. The pair is allowed to settle down in a quiet corner together. 73 An adult handler stays nearby but generally lets the dog perform its job without interfering(干涉). Sometimes, a handler may ask a question that encourages the child to work with the dog to help the child feel more comfortable.Not every child will be able to be part of a reading therapy program that uses dogs. A few children might be allergic to dogs or afraid of them; some children might have cultural traditions that prevent them from touching a dog. 74 Reading therapy programs inspire learning and change. 75 They spend time with human friends. For dogs that love human companionshiop and a quiet place to rest, being part of a reading therapy program can be a great way to spend a few hours each day. The readers benefit too, gaining confidence and learning that reading aloud can be a relaxing experience.A. How do the therapy dogs benefit from it?B. But therapy animals also serve in many other areas.C. As the child reads, the dog usually lies quietly and listens.D. When reading to an animal, some children may become relaxed.E.

They rely on special communication channels enabled by modern technologies, such as emails, faxes, and teleconferences, and alike. Due to more limited communication channels, the success of virtual teams is much more sensitive to the type of project the group works on, what people are selected, and how the team is managed.73 One challenging case is the projects that rely heavily on integrated work. That is to say, when each person’s work depends significantly on what someone else is doing at the samemoment, like in a sports team, there is an ongoing heavy exchange of information in real time, and the tasks have to go through a strict order within a short time.Not everyone can perform well in a virtual team environment.74 Another important quality is communication skills. The team members must be able to communicate clearly and positively.Managers of virtual teams need to pay much more attention to having clear goals, performance standards, and communication rules. People have various assumptions on what to expect from each other. 75One of the biggest challenges of virtual teams is building trust between the team members. Trust is important for unblocking communication between members and increasing motivation of each person in the team. The issue of trust needs special attention at any stage of team existence.A. Yet, there is one significant difference.B. Not every type of project is suitable for a virtual team.C. A virtual team can choose whatever project they like to work on.D. The members must be self-motivated and able to work independently.E. Such teams are now widely used by companies and organizations to cut business costs.F. Members of virtual teams communicate quite well although they never meet face-to-face.G. To avoid misunderstanding, clear rules that everyone understands and agrees on are necessary.2015海淀第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)House SittingIn many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting. It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country. 71 (many people---retired people---thousands of them)So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. House sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yards and they need cleaning. 72 I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.73 There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home.There are some requirements to be a house sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time. 74 You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the home owner has a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe.75 Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the important things to get are references from the home owners where you have stayed. A reference is a writtenletter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well. You can show these letters to prospective house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job.A. I have done house sitting many times.B. Thousands of people do this all the time.C. It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries.D. Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job.E. You must take a little care over what your description says about you. (全文未涉及description)F. This is an international house sitting service for all city and country areas. (广告语言,与文章风格迥异)G.

But meeting new people, talking in a group, or speaking in public can cause their extreme shyness to kick in. 72With social phobia, a person's fears and concerns are focused on their social performance —whether it’s a major class presentation or small tal k at the lockers. 73 They’re also sensitive to fears that they'll be embarrassed, look foolish, make a mistake, or be criticized or laughed at. Then they start to focus on the embarrassing things that could happen, instead of the good things. This makes a situation seem much worse than it is, and influences a person to avoid it.74 People with social phobia can learn to manage fear, develop confidence and coping skills, and stop avoiding things that make them anxious. But it's not always easy. Overcoming social phobia means getting up the courage it takes to go beyond what's comfortable, little by little.First, we can help people create a plan for facing social fears one by one, and help them build the skills and confidence to do it. This includes practicing new behaviors. Sometimes medications that reduce anxiety are also used as part of thetreatment for social phobia. 75They can encourage people with social phobia to pick a small goal to aim for, remind them to go for it, and be there when they might feel discouraged. Good friends and family are also there to celebrate each small success along the way.Dealing with social phobia takes patience, courage to face fears and try new things, and the willingness to practice. It takes a commitment to go forward rather than back away when feeling shy.A. And family or friends are especially important.B. It may be an anxiety condition called social phobia.C. They feel uncomfortable about being noticed or judged by others.D. So they avoid enjoying social activities, which can get in the way of life.E. Social phobia is a fear reaction to something that isn't actually dangerousF. Social phobia can be turned around with some focused slow but steady effort.G. Each small step forward helps build enough confidence to take the next small step.2015丰台第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)Personal ShoppersI was shopping with Thomas, who has been working as a personal shopper for the past five years. “Personal shoppers are in great demand these days,” he told me as we were walking past designer clothes shops. 71 He said that there were many people who wanted to be fashionable, but they didn’t know where to start. They needed a professional to advise them.But why? I always call my best friend to help me find the perfect dress, not a stranger!“72 The first thing I do is help my customer improve their image. I teach them to choose colours and clothes that suit them, and how to use make-up,” Thomas told me. “Then I organize the customer’s wardrobe.73 The third service has to do with actual shopping: the personal shopper and the customer visit shops and buy clothes according to the customer’s personality, lifestyle and needs.”Of course, each of the above services costs between 150 and 225 euros! 74 “Most of my customers a re r ich business people who call me for important meetings or business parties,” explained Thomas. “However, I also work for people in all kinds of jobs and for retired men and women who want a change of look.”We spent the rest of the day shopping.
