The number of short-sighted students has increased from 77% in2010 to 93.5% in 2013, while that of overweight students from 38% to 57.2%. Nearly 15% more students don’t have enough sleep because of more homework. Besides, over 21% more students become mentally unhealthy.It seems to me that the reasons for this lie in heavier burden of study and more homework, thus making students unable to spare any time to take exercise or have enough sleep.To improve students’ health, we call for less homework. Only in this way can students get plenty of sleep and be more healthy. Proper diets and exercise should also be paid attention to so that they won’t easily put on weight. With their heavy burdens removed, students can then keep in normal mental health.。

We gathered at the Culture Square, passing leaflets to passers-by from which they can learn what the earthquake is and how to protect themselves against the earthquake. The leaflets drew the attention of the public to the damage that an earthquake can cause and told them to take action in a right and efficient way. Some made a public speech, telling people about the best place they can hide when an earthquake occurs.We have learned much from the voluntary activity, which offers us an opportunity to contribute to society. We told the public about the situation because we thought everyone should be concerned about each other and take responsibility for promoting a public cause.Best wishes!Yo urs,Li Hua听力部分录音稿1.

M: In today’s lecture we’ll begin with Doxey’s model for the socio-cultural impact of tourism.He identifies four stages.He identifies the first stage as happiness. Because initially the tourists are regarded as a new and interesting thing.As tourist development begins to increase, some sections of the local population becomeinvolved with tourists while others don’t, and it is increasingly the case that commercial rather than social factors are influencing relationships between tourists and the host community. People are less interested in the tourists for their own sake. This is identified as the second stage by Doxey.If development continues to increase, the hosts get annoyed with the tourists, and this is the third stage.Well, development of the tourist area may start to get out of control, which is going to make life difficult for local people. So the policy makers, the government, the local authorities, and so on, provide more roads, more car parks and so on to try to help cope with the coming of tourists. But the lives of the local people are made increasingly difficult and in the final stage of the model, the hosts show unkindness to the tourists.。
黑龙江省哈三中2014届高三2014月月考(英语)2高考英语2014-28 1516()individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected.Competition protects the individual freedom by making sure that there is no monopoly (垄断) of power. Compared with one and all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for benefit.If one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to the competing business which treats its customers more fairly. Since there are many businesses co mpeting for the customers’ dollars, they cannot afford to treat them unfairly and the customers would lose nothing.☆考♂资♀源€网☆A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which is a monopoly. Because business is competitive, many Americans believe that it gives more support for freedom than government, even though government leaders are elected by the people while business leaders are not. Many Americans believe that competition is as important, or even more important, as democracy in protecting freedom.Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the idea of equal opportunities. Competition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to any person regardless of his or her social class background. Competitive success is commonly seen as the American choice of the higher social position which is not based on one’s family background. Business is therefore viewed as an expression of the idea of equal opportunities.☆考♂资♀源€网☆63. Which of the following is discussed as the main topic in the passage?A. Competition in America’s business.B. Freedom in America’s business.C. Americans’ different values.D. Business against government.64. Americans believe that they can realize their personal values______.A. when given equal opportunitiesB. through doing businessC. by protecting their individual freedomD. by means of competition65. Who can benefit from business competition?A. Businessmen who compete.B. Customers of those businesses.C. People with the idea of equality and freedom.D. Both business organizations and government.66. It could be inferred from the passage that the author believes______.A. business in other countries are not as competitive as those in the USAB. business problems are very important to the American governmentC. the competition in business plays a very important role in AmericaD. American business is the most powerful one in the whole worldDEvery year in America, high-school students who want to go to college take a national examination called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT in a shortened way. Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them or whether any will be admitted at all. The Scholastic Aptitude Test mea sures one’s mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English portion(部分)involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension.But the SAT folks have added a single question, to be answered in an essay, hand-written on the spot. T hat’s an interesting way totest writing ability, put content aside, have you ever seen young people’s handwriting lately? Or anyone’s for that matter, in this age of computer keyboards? Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks. They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word. And they hand-write, or more often print, a word or two of identification on luggage and lunch bags. Otherwise penmanship (书法) — once taught so morally and easefully by second-grade teachers, has gone the way of the dodo bird which has died out.Yet today’s kids are asked to write, thoughtfully and legibly (字迹清楚地), for several minutes on this SAT Test. Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl of young people who’ve been typing on computers since the age of three! Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help one’s score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers and earn bigger tax refunds (退税) because the tax inspectors can actually read the computations (计算结果). And don’t forget, we all have to turn to handwriting from time to time, as computers go down when power goes out.67. The subjects to be tested in the SAT include ______.A. math, English, reading and handwritingB. math, grammar, reading and writingC. math, foreign language and writingD. math, English and handwriting68. The author writes this passage to introduce the fact that ______.A. writing seems to be very important in the SATB. those who will go to colleges have to take the SATC. students should practice handwriting more oftenD. in the computer age kids know how to write legibly69. What does the underlined word “scribble” probably mean?A. Write quickly and roughly.B. Take notes difficultly.C. Print penmanship carefully.D. Describe written word generously.70. According to the passage good handwriting can ______.A. help students get high scores in testsB. make a student more popularC. measure students’ abilityD. assist one to get a jobEEach year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced. One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars and trucks with gas. 71Most Americans would find it hard to imagine what life would looklike without cars. 72 . The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.73 . That’s what several of the large car factories have beentrying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.Another way is to take the place of the car engine by somethingelse. 74 . Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we’ll have to make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their total cars. They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bicycle. Bicycling is thought to help theair clean. But this change does not come easily. A large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. 75 .Although cars have led us to a better life, they have also brought us new problems.A.Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.B. Americans know cars very well.C. However, some have realized the serious problems of the air pollution that is caused by cars.D. One way to get rid of the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute.E. However, the number of vehicles has continued to increase inrecent years.F. Americans won’t live without cars!G. Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars. 第II卷(非选择题,共35分)注意事项:将答案写在答题卡上,写在本试卷上无效。
AEvery year at the start of a new school year, college freshman are occupied in dealing with the enrollment procedures and settling themselves in their new dormitories. Their parents, the super—protective Chinese ones, will always follow their children everywhere , anxious and worried.However, the new policy of Tsinghua University this semester is sending a message: boys and girls, it‘s time to become independent.On move—in day, a tallow line was drawn across the entrance of school area, separating parents from their children. The students themselves had to spend about three hours registering and finding their dormitories.By doing this, the university is asking students to“start this new adventure by standing on their own feet”,said Chen Jinjing,president of Tsinghua。
Following Tsinghua, other university have also made policies to encourage students to enroll alone.Oujiang College ,at Wenzhou University in Zhejiang ,has opened an online platform for freshmen to contact senior schoolmates who can guide them on enrollment day .Renmin University asked senior students to return to their hometowns and accompany freshmen to school.This change has excited many freshmen. Li Ming, a Tsinghuafreshman from Gansu province, took a train to Beijing with only one schoolmate .“It‘s my first long trip without my parents, and I am quite excited about it,”he said. ―Coming to the university begins a new stage of my life, and I should learn to take care of myself from the start. ‖Although some say such policies are not enough to make students independent, many believe it can help start to change the situation. ―Such campaigns help students realize they have to live on their own ,‖said Xiong Bingqi, vice-president of the 21st Century Education Research Institute.―The lack of independence has been a major concern for kids born in the 1990s, as parents arranged everything, which hampered (阻碍) children‘s all-around development.‖Xiong added.21.From the passage we can infer that____________.A.all universities don‘t require their freshmen to enroll themselvesB.all freshmen of Tsinghua are excited by the policyC.Li Ming, delighted by the policy , went to Tsinghua aloneD.senior students from Oujiang College should accompany freshmen to school22.If you are a freshmen of Renmin University, ____________.A.settle in your dormitory with the help of your parentsB.travel to the university all by yourselfC.a senior student may return to your hometown and accompany youback schoolD.finish registering alone23.The underlined word ―this‖in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ___________.A.encouraging freshmen to study hard and set a new goal.B.requiring freshmen to enroll and settle themselves in dormitories aloneC.drawing a yellow line to protect the freshmenD.separating freshmen from their friends and classmates24.According to Xiong Bingqi,_____________.A.the policy can help parents realize their mistake that they make their children independentB.parents are so concerned about kids born in the 1990s that they won‘t let children go anywhereC.children‘s lack of independence lead to their being lacking in all-around developmentD.Chinese parents do everything for their children, thus holding back their children‘s all-around developmentBIn the process that parents help kids to develop language and speech skills, listening to what they have to say is just as vital as talking to them, the researchers say.The influence of a conversation between a child and an adult is about five times as great as that of adult speech input alone,according to the researchers‘findings. ―Adults speaking to children helps language develop ,but what matters much more is the ineraction.‖said the study‘s lead author, Frederick Zimmerman, an associate professor in the School of Public Health at the Universaty of California,Los Angeles. The researchers also found that TV viewing didn‘t have much of an effect—ositively or negatively—as long as it wasn‘t replacing conversations between an adult and a child.The study included 275 families with children between 2 months and 48 months old. They represented a variety of incomes and education. The researchers found that , in an average day , children hear about 13,000 spoken words from adults and participated in about 400 adult-child conversations a day.Assessed separately, factors positively associated with language development included each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1,000 word increase in the number of words spoken by adults and heard by children. When locked at home alone,TV was negatively associated with language development. But ,when the three factors were analyzed together, the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children.―The more a child speaks and interacts with an adult , the better ideaa parent has about where the child is.‖ Zimmerman said, ―Although it‘s mostly done unconsciously, parents will provide feedback and correct mistakes.They‘ll also tailor their speech to the child. Parents can give a child words by talking to them about what they‘re doing ,for example, ‗I‘m putting on your pajamas now ‘. But give your child the opportunity to talk , hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment .‖ she added. ―If parents can carve out some conversation time –maybe at bath time or at dinner –that‘s a wonderful thing. ‖25.What ‗s the best title of the passage?A.Make Friend with Your KidsB.talk with Kids, Not at ThemC.Teach Children How to speakD.Tell Kids to Talk with Others26.The researchers also found that TV viewing____________.A.affected a child‘s language development greatly both negatively and positivelyB.could have a positive effect on a child‘s language developmentC.affected a child‘s language development more negatively than positivelyD. had a bit of impact on a child‘s language development27.We can draw a conclusion from the last paragragh that___________.A.parents-child conversation can be carried out at any proper timeB.parents should let a child repeat what he or she saysC.parents should leave a child talking aloneD.bath time or dinner time is the best chance for parents to talk to a child28.Frederick Zimmerman would probably agree that____________.A.it‘s not proper for parents to correct their children‘s mistakes when they are speakingB.Parents should let their children talk most of the timeC.children should watch TV programs selectivelyD.the conversation between parents and children should be two-wayCA.The Accommodation Office (Room 114)The Accommodation Office is the place to find everything concerning accommodation during your studying at this university .It offers a free advisory service and a wide range of handbooks and checklists covering the full range of housing available.

This data flood is already starting to transform business, government, science and everyday life. It has great potential for good-as long as consumers, companies and governments make the right choices about when to restrict the flow of data, and when to encourage it.A few industries have led the way in their ability to gather and take advantage of the data. Credit-card companies monitor every purchase and can identify cheats with a high degree of accuracy. Stolen credit cards are more likely to be used to buy hard liquor than wine, for example, because it is easier to overlook. Insurance firms are also good at combining clues to spot doubtful claims: dishonest claims are more likely to be made on a Monday then a Tuesday, since policyholders(保险客户) who arrange accidents tend to assemble friends as false witnesses over the weekend. By combining many such clues, it is possible to work out which cards are likeliest to have been stolen, and which claims are untrue. By analyzing ―basket data‖, supermarkets can make promotions to appeal to particular customers‘preferences. The oil industry uses supercomputers to help them before drilling wells.But the data flood also poses risks. There are many examples of datas being stolen: disks full of social-security data go missing , laptops loadedwith tax records are left in taxis, credit-card numbers are stolen by online purchase. The result can be privacy made public, identity stolen and cheats permitted large space. Rather than owning and controlling their own person data, they very often find that they have lost control of it. The best way to deal with the data flood is to make more data available in the right way, by requiring greater transparency in several areas. First, users should be given greater access to and control over the information held about them, including whom it is shared with. Google allows users to see what information it holds about them, and lets them delete their search histories or modify the targeting of advertising, for example .Second, organizations should be required to disclose details of security breaches(泄密),as is already the case in some parts of the world ,to encourage bosses to take information security more seriously. Third, organizations should be subject to an annuai security check, with the resulting grade made public (though details of any problems exposed would not be). This would encourage companies to keep their security measures up to date.32.From the passage we can infer that______________.A.credit cards are not so secure to use and will go out of use very soonB.insurance firms have to investigate before they confirm their policyholders‘ claimsC.lots of data are lost because of hardware problemsD.online purchases are becoming more and more popular33.Which of the following is the writer‘s opinion about how to deal with the data flood?panies should update their measures to guarantee their data safety .anizations should keep their resulting grade of security checks unknown to the public.C.Personal information should be used for public information.D.The users should be given the right to access public information.34.From the passage we can couclude that______________.A.the information flood is more useful to organizations than to individualsB.the data flood makes people‘s life less convenient and more expensivepaines and insurance firms are responsible for the data floodD.the information flood has both positive and negative influence on modern life35.What‘s the main idea of the passage ?A.Data flood is available in every field.B.The harms that data flood has brought to people are on the increase.rmation flood is affecting people‘s life.D.Data flood has brought people some benefits.第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ANicolai Calabria has already become one of the best 106-pound wrestlers. He has successfully climbed to the top of the highest mountain in Africa, and most importantly, he’s changed the attitude of any normal person who watches him compete.The 17-year-old teenager has one leg. He was born t hat way, but his goal is to show it’s not the one thing that defines him. He would also be the first one to tell you that he just wants to prove to others and himself that he’s just like other normal ones.When Calabria was young, his parents tried different prostheses (假肢) to find out which was most comfortable for their son as he tried to keep up with a family, who has a preference for sports.At first, the Calabrias had their middle child in a prosthesis that looked and functioned like a “real” leg, but soon they decided to choose a different path when they found it wasn’t beneficial to his movement. Then the family moved him to arm crutches (手杖) and from there a new burst of energy was found.Getting others to believe that he could take off on the soccer field took a little bit longer. When the Calabrias moved to Concord, they had a hard time convincing the town soccer program to allow a child like him to compete with able-bodied kids. After months and months of debates and meetings, the family received the answer they were looking for. Since then, witnessing a young man on crutches who competes against those with two legs has become a fixed event in the Concord community.“At that time I had nothing but discouragement working with the soccer community, ho wever, now I have nothing but admiration for the fact that he’s been allowed to play, and people see that he adds value to game,” his father said. “I just think it’s a great result.”21. This passage shows us a boy with one leg ________.A. can do what a normal teenager canB. is realizing as many dreams as he canC. can make a sport event more valuableD. can add value to society22. We can learn from Paragraph 5 that _______.A. Calabria proved to be the most excellent player of the teamB. it was not easy for Calabria to be accepted to the town soccer teamC. Calabria’s parents didn’t allow him to play soccer at firstD. there are some other disabled children in the soccer team23. In Paragraph 5, the underlined part probably means ________.A. a must-seeB. a planned programmeC. an extra gameD. a special occasion24. It is implied in the last paragraph that Nicolai’s father ________.A. has been discouraged since Nicolai played soccerB. thinks that Nicolai is playing a key role in the teamC. is very delighted that Nicolai can play soccer in the teamD. hasn’t expected that Nicolai can be allowed to play soccerBSome colors people see late at night could cause signs of clinical depression. That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals who live or work in low levels of light overnight can develop clinical depression. Doctors use the word “clinical depression” to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.In the new study, American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters (仓鼠) to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and are active at night.The animals were separated into 4 groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their nighttime period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light, a third group slept in front of a white light, while a fourth was put in front of a red light.After four weeks, the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the more depressed animals drank the least amount of water.Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University. He says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed. “What we saw is that these animals didn’t show any sleep uneasiness at all but they did have messe d up biological clockgenes and they did show depressive sign while if they were in the dim (微弱) red light, they did not.”Randy Nelson notes that photosensitive (感光) cells in the eyes have little to do with eyesight. He says these cells send signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the natural sleep-wake cycle.He says there’s a lot of blue in white light. This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness.25. Researchers use hamsters in the experiment because _______.A. they are similar to humans in dealing with colorsB. they are easy to observe and studyC. they are sensitive to colors like human beingsD. they are active at night and sleep during the day26. What sign shows that the hamsters are being depressed?A. They drink less sugary water.B. They don’t sleep well.C. Their eyesight becomes worse.D. Their energy level becomes low.27. _______ tends to cause hamsters to be depressed.A. Dim lightB. Red lightC. Blue lightD. Darkness28. What can help people who work late at night to avoid being depressed?A. Not being exposed to dim red light when using computers.B. Equipping their computer screen to put it more in the reddish light.C. Living or working in low levels of light overnight.D. Going to see doctors of clinical depression regularly for help.CWelcome to the world of multitasking — a place where the measure of a person is how many jobs they can perform at the same time. In fact, if experts are to be believed, multitasking is a disastrous idea.One of the opponents of multitasking is Dr. Clifford Nass, a professor at Stanford University. “People who multitask frequently are less able to pay attention; they’re worse at managing their memory.” he said. In his opinion, the loss that we get with multitasking is harmless in some situations, for example, part of doing business in the digital world; but you can’t do serious worklike writing, thinking or solving an important problem this way. You do worse even as you think you’re doing better. All the time the research points to a simple fact: the brain cannot cope. When you stop midway through composing a report to check an email, you force your brain to stop and regroup. It is like pressing the pause button during a movie, meaning the film takes longer to watch.And as for Dr. Nass, the problems extend beyond the brain. Young people who frequently multitask are not as socially and emotionally healthy as those who don’t. They just feel more emotionally satisfied and the feeling is so good and they are bound to desire it again. Todd Oppenheimer, a writer said “We’ve become a very short-term society and don’t reward people for taking a lot of tim e on something.” He fears we may end up losing the next generation of great thinkers. “It’s really unfortunate because the long-term challenges of our world — environmental issues, financial issues —require people to think wisely about the long-term consequences of what they do. And it’s no coincidence that the kind of people who do think long-term don’t multitask.”29. According to Dr. Nass, multitasking _______.A. makes the performance emotionally affected onlyB. contributes to memorizing various thingsC. may result in losing the next generation of great thinkersD. can be performed using digital tools30. From the passage, we can tell _______.A. the loss that we get with multitasking is harmlessB. we mistakenly believe that we’re doing better by switching between tasksC. doing multitasking does harm to us in every areaD. for every task you add to your multitasking, you can finish your goal quicker 31. Which of the following is a multitasking addict?A. You turn your cellphone to silence when yo u’re out to dine with friends.B. You watch from start to finish without distraction when playing a DVD.C. You have your office desk covered with paperwork from various unfinished projects.D. You feel that when you try to do too much at once, the result always suffers.32. The author mainly wants to tell us _________.A. the less you switch, the better you doB. it is more efficient to do things all in a mixed wayC. it takes longer for us to become a great thinkerD. we shouldn’t be lazy if we want t o accomplish many tasksDPlan on traveling around the USA? There are a number of outstanding websites that can make your American dream come true.This is the latest offering that features 101 holiday ideas to the USA. It’s a div erse selection, ranging from touring in the footsteps of Martin Luther King to a golfing break in Arizona and a cycling and wine-tasting trip in California’s Napa Valley. Narrow down what you’re looking for — whether by price, region, theme and who will be traveling — and then just the photos of the relevant holidays remain on view. It’s a really clever design.The National Scenic Byways Program covers 150 memorable roads. Some are natural scenic routes, such as Route 1 along the California coast. Others focus on history (such as Route 66) or man-made attractions (the Las Vegas Strip). For each, you’re provided w ith a map telling the route’s length and how long is allowed.This is the best website for reviews of hotels in US cities and tourist sites. There are photos of each hotel. Importantly, these are not promotional photos provided by the hotels, but more honest and revealing ones taken by inspectors. From the 243 hotels reviewed in New York, you can narrow down what you are looking for by locations, facilities and styles, or just pick out a selection of the best.SeaWorld in San Diego can make dreams come true, but the price is not affordable for the majority of people. So turn to long-established , giving big discounts on tickets, hotel and dining at SeaWorld.33. The text is probably from _______.A. a science reportB. a news articleC. a travel brochureD.a book review34. Travel ideas for wine lovers are available at _______.A. B. C. D. 35. What can be inferred from the text?A. You can see some man-made attractions driving along Route 66.B. The National Scenic Byways Program covers all American roads.C. Photos on can be trusted by tourists.D. is a newly established website.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I rushed there and knew that they were in the 42 , arguing.I couldn't help 43 out loud: "Brother! Brother!" He 44 me and answered, "What?" "Come here!" I shouted. He came out to me.

But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings change. The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English.People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesn’t co me in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing?The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever.The future of the world’s languages depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allowed them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.56. Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _____ languagesin the world.A. 4,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. no more than 2057. In “The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages ofthe smaller cultures,” the verb “replace” means “_____”.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to use a second thing in place of the first thingC. to find good place for somethingD. to decide how important something is58. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a major worldlanguage, _____.A. radio and television would all use the languageB. it would be easier for them to share their ideasC. lessons at schools would be taught in the languageD. people would respect their own culture more59.

It’s possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.“We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,”says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study’s lead researcher.In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms.Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds.To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions). The CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings that they had experienced that day.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy (堵塞) noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are, For now, it can not hurt to look on the bright side more often than not.61. What is the text mainly about?A. How to get rid of colds.B. Attitude determines life.C. Smiles turn away colds.D. Different opinions about colds.62.The phrase”full of vim and vigor” underlined in Paragraph 1 probablymeans___________.A.ignorantB. Well-informedC. energeticD. in low spirits63.According to the research, persons who are likely to catch colds should bethose __________?A. Who have negative attitude towards their life.B. Who are very emotional and optimistic.C. Who are open-minded and outgoing.D. Who have trouble with their noses64.The last paragraph implies that __________.A.positive and negative emotions have good aspects.B.people who have been less positive tend to catch colds.C.Keeping an optimistic state of mind is good for health.D.positive emotions have a stronger effect on health.CComic Strips(连环漫画)For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19th century, people produced and read books of drawing. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics. They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl(猫头鹰)and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and the tiger were brave. The fox and the wolf were cunning(狡猾的)greedy(贪婪的)and dangerous.A century ago, an American newspaper published the first full-colour comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.In modern times, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages. People believe that its creator, Charles M. Schultz, earned US$60 million a year.Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become amillionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters in your story. One type of person might say, “Please be quiet and listen to what we have to say.” But another type of character might simply say, “Shut up and listen!”Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They should be obviously good or bad ---- and not a mixture of both. A leader must be stronger or cleverer than his or her followers. In many comic strips ---- especially those showing crime of adventure ---- there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story.65. The underlined wo rd “plot” is similar in meaning to _____.A. placeB. stripC. storyD. character66. Which of the following is NOT the name of a cartoon Character?A. Snoopy.B. Peanuts.C. Woodstock.D. Garfield.67. In the 19th century, the wolf in the cartoons was NOT _____.A. cunningB. dangerousC. greedyD. braveDMeetings don’t just eat up time in the workplace ; they actually make groups of people stupider, says new research.Working in a group makes people perform worse on intelligence tests, as some group members are so anxious about doing well that they “divert” their brain towards maintaining their social status in the group.You may joke about how committee meetings make you feel brain dead, but our findings suggest that they make you act brain dead as well, said Read Montague the study leader at Virginia Tech.Groups of volunteers showed measurable drops in IQ when asked to perform intelligence tests socially, with the results broadcast to the group.Some people performed well in the “social” tests, but others were affected badly--- and overall,performance dropped.Women appear to feel this pressure more than men---only three out of 13 female volunteers performed well in a social environment, with 10 out of 13 finding that their performance dropped.The researchers used a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to monitor how people’s brains responded--- and found that bad performers tended toshow activity in parts of their brain that dealt with emotions and anxiety.“We started with individuals who were matched for their IQ,”said Montague. “Yet when we placed them in small groups, ranked their performance on tasks against their peers, and broadcast the rankings, we saw dramatic drops in the ability of some study subjects to solve problems.”“Our study highlights the unexpected and dramatic consequences even subtle social signals in group settings may have on the individual,”said lead author Keneth Kishida.“We don’t know how much these effects are present in real-world settings. By placing an emphasis on competition, for example, are we missing a large segment of the talent pool?”68. Which of the following statements is Not true according to the passage?A. Meetings make groups of people stupider.B. Meetings make you act brain dead.C. Meetings make people perform worse on intelligence tests.D. Meetings don’t affect men’s performance in intelligence tests.69. This passage can be classified as __________.A. An advertisementB.a book reviewC. A feature storyD.a science report70.What would be the best title of the text?A. Brainstorming? More Like Brain DrainB. Brainstorming Affects People”s IQ TestC. Brainstorming Makes People Act Brain DeadD.Brainstorming Affects Women’s PerformanceE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。

Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative(保守) person who is only among those with whom he is familiar. When a stranger is present, he often seems nervous, embarrassed. You have to takea commuter train (通勤车) any morning or evening to the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or off ina corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive(冒犯的)., there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, once , makes the offender immediately the object of .One of the few things we can say about the British with certainty is that a British takes a(n) to the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance,he will talk about it . Some people argue that it is because the British weather follows forecast and thus becomes a source of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly a British cannot have much in the weathermen, whose predictions,in many cases, to be wrong! The man in the street seems to be as accurate– or as inaccurate – as the weathermen in his .Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Beautiful day!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?”the foreigner may consider this exaggerated (夸大) and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his . If he wants to start a conversationwith a British but is to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a(n) subject to which a response may well be of even the most reserved of the British.1.A. relaxed B. frustrated C. amusedD. exhausted2.A. yet B. otherwise C. even D. so3.A. experience B. witness C. watchD. undertake4.A. whispering B. murmuring C. nodding D. laughing 5.A.

AThe Great Barn AdventureOne morning when I was 11, I explored the town’s abandoned round grain barn(谷仓). I found a chained sliding door that was wide enough for me to pass through.Inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark. After my eyes adjusted, I noticed a shaft (升降机井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn. On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the shaft, but stopped halfway. After a brief panic attack, I noticed holes in the wall at regular intervals, forming a ladder. For reasons known only to an 11-year-old, I decided it would be better to go up than down. So, with shaking hands, I began climbing the wall.After what seemed like forever, I reached the top of the shaft. I stood up, dusted myself off and found…absolutely nothing of interest. It was ju st an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof. I climbed all the way up here for this? Then I noticed a fire extinguisher(灭火器),which I’d always wanted to shoot off. So this was the chance of a lifetime. I tried it, and, much to my surprise, the thing worked! It shot out a thick cloud of powder that instantly filled the room. I couldn’t breathe. I was going to choke to death, and they’d probably never even find my body.Luckily, I remembered the ladder to the roof. I climbed up, popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky.I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention. So when the dust had settled, I climbed down and slipped out of the chained door. I’m not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught, but I ran all the way back home.21. When the author got inside the barn, he _______.A. noticed a man on the elevatorB. opened the chained sliding doorC. saw many dead mice in the darkD. found a shaft leading to the top22. Which o f the following is the right order of the author’s adventure?a. The elevator stopped halfway.b. He entered the round grain barn.c. He climbed to the top of the shaft.d. He found a fire extinguisher and shot it off.A. b-a-c-dB. b-c-a-dC. b-a-d-cD. b-c-a-d23. After getting out of the chained door, the author might feel _______.A. inspiredB. relievedC. surprisedD. disappointed24. From the passage, we can learn that the author was probably a boy full of _______.A. passionsB. dreamsC. curiosityD. imagination解析:21.D 细节题:从文章第二段的句子:After my eyes adjusted, I noticed a shaft (升降机井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn.可知作者进入谷仓的时候,看见一个升降机井伸到顶部,选D。

A―Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy –they’re given after all. Choices can be hard.‖ –– Jeff BezosI got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I’d been a garage inventor. I’d always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, ―That sounds like a really good idea, b ut it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job.‖ That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately (最后), I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.21. What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?A. His dream of being an inventor.B. The support of his wife.C. The greatly increasing usage of the Internet.D. Millions of exciting titles.22. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?.A. The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him.B. He would be very excited if he tried it out.C. He would be always having a doubt if he didn’t try.D. The decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him.23. We can know from the passage that _______.A. the boss thought the idea was suitable for the authorB. the author wanted someone else to try the ideaC. the author might not regret if he failed the ideaD. the author might go back to his boss if he failed24. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Cleverness and KindnessB. The Starting of AmazonC. Following My PassionD. We Are What We ChooseBTwo new studies suggest that modern running shoes could increase the risk of injuries to runners.One study involved sixty-eight healthy young women and men who ran at least twenty-four kilometers a week. The runners were observed on a treadmill machine (跑步机). Sometimes they wore running shoes. Other times they ran barefoot (赤脚).Researchers from the JKM Technologies company in Virginia, the University of Virginia and the University of Colorado did the study.They found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees, hips and ankle joints than running barefoot. They observed that the effect was even greater than the effect reported earlier for walking in high heels.The study appeared in the official scientific journal of The American Academy of Physical Medicine.The other study appeared in the journal Nature. It compared runners in the United States and Kenya. The researchers were from Harvard University in Massachusetts, Moi University in Kenya and the University of Glasgow in Scotland.They divided the runners into three groups. One group had always run shoeless. Another group had always run with shoes. And the third group had changed to shoeless running.Runners who wear shoes usually come down heel first. That puts great force on the back of the foot. But the study found that barefoot runners generally land on the front or middle of their foot. That way they ease into their landing and avoid striking their heel.Harvard’s Daniel Lieberman led the study. He says the way most running shoes are designed may explain why those who wear them land on their heels. The heel of the shoe is bigger and heavier than other parts of the shoe, so it would seem more likely to come down first. Also, the heel generally has thick material under it to soften landings.But the researchers do not suggest that runners immediately start running barefoot. They say it takes some training. And there can be risks, like running when your feet are too cold to feel if you get injured.The study was partly supported by Vibram, which makes a kind of footwear that it says is like running barefoot. The findings have gotten a lot of attention. But the researchers say there are many problems in the way the press has reported in their paper. So they have tried to explain their findings on a Harvard Website.25. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Walking in high heels could cause less serious effects than running barefoot.B.

And, like Truss – author of Eats, shoots & Leaves–I have a ―zero tolerance‖ approach to grammar mistakes that make people look stupid.Now, Truss and I disagree on what it means to have ―zero tolerance‖. She thinks that people who mix up basic grammar ―dese rve to be struck by lightning, hacked (砍) up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave‖, while I just think they deserve to be passed over for a job – even if they are otherwise qualified for the position.Everyone who applies for a position at either of my companies, iFixit or Dozuki, takes a compulsory grammar test. If job hopefuls can’t distinguish between ―to‖ and ―too‖, their applications go into the bin.Of course, we write for a living. is the world’s largest online repair manual (指南), and Dozuki helps companies write their own technical documentation, like paperless work instructions and step-by-step user manuals. So, it makes sense that we’ve made a strong strike against grammar errors.But grammar is relevant for all companies. Yes, language is constantly changing, but that doesn’t make grammar unimportant. Good grammar is credibility, especially on the Internet. And, for better or worse, people judge you if you can’t tell the difference between ―their‖ ―there‖ and ―they’re‖.Good grammar makes good business sense – and not just when it comes to hiring writers. Writing isn’t in the official job description of most people in our office. Still, we give our grammar test to everybody, including our salespeople, our operations staff, and our programmers.Grammar signifies more than just a person’s ability to remember high school English. I’ve found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something completely unrelated to writing – like stocking shelves or labeling parts. It is the same with programmers. Applicants who don’t think writing is important are likely tothink lots of other things also aren’t important.32. The author agrees with Lynne Truss in that ________.A. gramm ar mistakes can’t be toleratedB. books on grammar make people stupidC. people need to learn basic grammarD. grammar mistakes are absolutely unavoidable33. What’s the author’s ―zero tolerance‖ approach to these job seekers who mix up b asicgrammar?A. They should be left out for a job.B. They have to correct their mistakes.C.

They are companies where one learns grammar.C. Grammar is quite important for their existence.D. They depend on grammar correction for a living.35. What can we learn from the text?A. Companies giving grammar tests may have no good business sense.B. Grammar becomes unimportant as language is constantly changing.C. A ―zero tolerance‖ approach to grammar errors might seem a little unfair.D. People who pay attention to writing may pay attention to other things.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
