Around days like Martin Luther King Day, people in the US are especially sensitive to racist comments and behavior.Recently, a Facebook message posted by a white student at my boarding school started a wave of anger among African American students and started heated conversations about minority groups at the school.The students posted an article written by someone else who stated that Robert E. Lee, a Confederate general during the US Civil War, should be commemorated(纪念). As the Confederates broke from the Union in order to keep slavery in their states, they were usually seen as racists. The post received a flood of comments from both white and black students within minutes, and conversation about the topic spread across campus quickly.A fishbowl conversation was organized the evening the article was posted, and students and faculty (学院) members talked about their feelings and opinions. During the discussion, students from minority groups, including African American, Jewish, Asian and Indian students, spoke up about how they felt about living in a society mainly made up of people who are different from them. It turned out that many people felt isolated because of their differences from other people.The diversity of society can open up interesting opportunities, but the great differences between people can also create huge gaps and misunderstandings if they are not treated carefully. Thus, effective communication is essential.After the fishbowl conversation, the atmosphere in the school seemed to be changing, at least from my point of view. Students seemed to be talking and acting more freely than before, and the expressions of judgement were seen less on their faces.4. The main purpose of Paragraph 1 is to ______.A. draw attention to the fact that racial problems still exist in America.B. show that the United States has a wonderfully diverse culture.C. explain how sensitive people in the US are to racist comments and behavior.D. point out the differences between American culture and those of other countries.5. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The post was offensive to black students.B. The post was aimed at African American students.C. The author of the post was strongly in favor of slavery.D. The author of the post held a negative attitude toward minority groups.6. According to the article, the fishbowl conversation was held mainly to ______.A. figure out whether the article should be posted or not.B. educate students on how to express their opinions appropriately.C. improve the lives of people who belongs to minority groups on campus.D. get people to communicate how they felt and thought about the post.7. What did the author learn from the incident?A. We should learn to live with others’ differences.B. We should always feel free to share our feelings.C. Effective communication is very important in a diverse society.D. If there is no difference, then there is no misunderstanding.CI have a younger brother. To me, he is a fourteen-year-old kid named Joe, with blond hair and blue eyes. To others, he is different. Where I see a kid who just needs a lot more attention, otherssee a mentally disabled boy, a kid who cannot walk or talk or think for himself. I see someone who just makes daily routine a bit less routine. Others see an annoyance, a bother.This is not to say that I have never felt resentful(怨恨的) toward Joe. He is my brother, and with that comes responsibility. “Gina, could you stay in tonight and watch your brother?”“Gina, do me a favor and feed him dinner and change his diaper (尿布) later, please? ” “ Could you co me home right after school today and get Joe off the bus ?”These are phrases that I have heard since I was twelve. And sure, they have made me resent my brother to a certain extent. I would think: that’s not fair! Everyone else can stay after and be a member of this club, or get extra help from that teacher. Or, all my friends are going out tonight, why can’t I? And, how come I have to feed him? He is not my son!However, the small amount of resentment I feel toward my brother is erased a thousand times over by what I have learned from him. Besides making me responsible from a young age, and helping me be more accepting of all kinds of people, he has taught me to be thankful for what I have.I know that there are moments in my life that I should cherish and that Joe will never experience. He will never laugh so hard that he cries. He will never feel the glory of a straight-A report card. He will never comfort a best friend crying on his shoulder. And he will never know how much his family love him.Because he will never know, it is up to me to know, every second, how lucky I am. It is up to me to realize that life should be lived to its fullest, and that you should always, always be grateful that God, or whoever are the powers that be, gave you the ability to live your life the way you were meant to live it.8. We know from the first paragraph that Gina’s brother .A. causes trouble to neighborsB. pays more attention to othersC. lives with mental disabilityD. considers daily routine a bother9. Which word below can replace the underlined words in paragraph 3?A. whyB. howC. whatD. when10. If mother asks Gina to look after her brother now, what will she probably answer?A. I’m afraid not.B. No problem!C. It depends.D. It’s not fair!11. The passage intends to tell us that we should .A. value the glory of successB. appreciate what life gives usC. comfort unfortunate peopleD. treasure meaningful momentsDInternet use appears to cause a drop in psychological health, according to a research at Carnegie Mellon University.Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who used Internet less frequently, the two-year study showed. And it wasn’t that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Net actually appeared to cause the bad feeling.Researchers are puzzled by the results, which were completely the opposite to their experiences. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose the information and to communicate with others.The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may explain the drop-in well-being, researchers supposed. Faceless, bodiless “virtual” communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that knowing the wider world via the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.“But it’s important to remember this is not about the technology; it’s about how it is used,”says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study founders. “It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology. ”12. The best title of the passage probably is .A. Internet May Cause DepressionB. The Danger of InternetC. Communication with Others by InternetD. Puzzled by the Results13. Why did the results of research puzzle the researchers?A. People could choose their information through Internet.B. They had expected the opposite results.C. People can communicate with others.D. They had thought Internet was much healthier.14. Which of the following may be the cause of depression?A. Net users found their living conditions bad.B. Net users already had mental problems.C. Deep relationships were formed through Internet.D. Net users had less time to communicate with other people.15. The writer’s attitude towards technology is .A. social factors must be considered while using technologyB. technology was to blame for depressionC. the problem doesn’t lie in technologyD. applications and services for technology must be designed第二节阅读填空（共5小题，每题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。

Finance.C.Entertainment.D.Science and Technology.BI love to read before I go to sleep.It usually makes me feel calm.But a big part of this depends on what I read.I love to read Oor Wullie and The Broons.Very often I’m smiling before I go to sleep.I decide to write about this in a blog because I find that so many of us go to sleep with stress.Before we go to sleep,we may run over the day in our minds,and worry about tomorrow.We also may watch the news on TV,read the news on our smart phones or tablets,or even answer work emails.But the news is rarely proclaiming (宣告) all the things that are happening in the world and work emails make us feel that we’re still at work.All these things may leave us a stressful sleep.Oor Wullie and The Broons are not the only things I ever read at night.I sometimes read novels but,with the odd exception,I mostly avoid anything that is too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless it’s something that inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life.And even if I do read something mentally stimulating,when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up trusty old Oor Wullie or The Broons for the last 10 or 15 minutes.Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure that I get a peaceful sleep.Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a comfort blanket for me.I’d suggest you find light-hearted reading as a comfort blanket at bedtime,especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time,or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day.It is the thing that can gently turn your attention towards lightness and ease.If your material makes you laugh,then you may feel even better.Several studies show thatlaughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain.It strengthens the immune system,it’s good for the heart,and it is most definitely good for mental health.It even helps us improve our relationships.And if you do happen to pick up a copy of Oor Wullie or The Broons,I hope you find it just as entertaining as I do.24.What can we learn about Oor Wullie and The Broons?A.They make people run over the past days.B.They are the best books to be read before people sleep.C.They are extremely popular with young people.D.They make people feel relaxed and happy.25.What can we know from the text?A.Oor Wullie and The Broons are the author’s favorite books.B.A comfortable blanket makes people go to sleep easily.C.The author sometimes reads something about inspiration.D.Reading something stimulating at night helps get a peaceful sleep.26.What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?A.What material brings us laughter.B.How laughter affects our health.C.What benefits laughter brings to us.D.Why laughter is good for us.27.What’s the main purpose of the text?A.To show the importance of reading before sleeping.B.To prove the importance of a good mood before sleeping.C.To tell us how to make ourselves stay relaxed before sleeping.D.To explain how to choose a book worthy to be read before sleeping.CSometimes people call each other “scared-cat”.But have you ever thought about this expression?When a cat is frightened,its heart starts beating faster,its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream.Although the cat doesn’t realize this,its body is getting ready for action.If the danger continues,the animal will do one of two things.It will protect itself,or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people.When we are excited,angry or scared by other feelings,our bodies go through many physical changes.Our hearts beat faster,and our muscles get tense.All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react.We,too,get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings,however,have a problem that animals never face.If we give way to our feelings and let them take over,we can get into trouble.Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later?Have you ever shouted at a teacher,told somebody you were lonely,or said you were in love,and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut?It isn’t always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that it’s smarter to always hide our feelings?No!If you keep feelings of anger or sadness hidden away or bottled up inside,your body stays tense.Physical illness can develop,and you can feel disturbed badly inside.It can actually be bad for your health.It isn’t good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don’t just go away.It’s as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard.You might not be able to see them,but before long you’d smell them.And if you opened the cupboard,chances are that you’d see little fruit flies flying all over them.They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard.You can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist,but they’ll still be around.And at last you’ll have to deal with them,just like those bananas.28.When people and animals are aroused by fear,.A.they feel very regretful immediatelyB.their muscles get neither tense nor relaxedC.their hearts beat either faster or slowerD.they may get ready to attack or run away29.Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage?A.They are usually not as alert as animals.B.They sometimes can’t control their feelings.C.They always do something wrong to other people.D.They don’t pay attention to their physical changes.30.What can we infer from the passage?A.Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results.B.Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboard.C.Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them in.D.It’s good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside.31.What is the purpose of this passage?A.To tell us that people’s feelings are like bananas in a cupboard.B.To give us some advice on how to express our feelings.C.To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper way.D.To prove that it isn’t always wise to express our feelings freely.DSome people are so rude!Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”?Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you?Who asks for a fact easily found on Google?Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little politeness.But many social agreed standards just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts,you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello.E-mail,too,is slower than a text.V oice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages,none of which I listened to.Exasperated,he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls.“Why are you leaving him voice mail?” my sister asked.“Just text him.”In the age of the smartphone,there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about:the weather forecast,a business’s phone number,or directions to a house,a restaurant,which can be easily found on Google Maps.But people still ask these things.And when you answer,they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards?Easy.Consider your audience.Some people,especially older ones,appreciate a thank-you message.Others,like me,want no reply.The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies,the young learnt from the old.But in modern societies,the old can also learn from the young.Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.32.What does the underlined word “Exasperated” mean in the fifth paragraph?A.Worried.B.Surprised.C.Annoyed.D.Tired.33.Why didn’t the writer reply to his father?A.He liked text messages better.B.He enjoyed checking his voice mail.C.He didn’t receive any voice mail messages.D.He didn’t want to talk with his father.34.Which of the following does the writer agree to?A.People needn’t learn from one another in traditional societies.B.Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.C.People needn’t turn to Google for help when in trouble.D.Declaring who you are or saying hello in texts is necessary.35.What’s the best title of this passage?A.Nowadays:what should we do with text messages?B.Nowadays:do you like leaving others a voice message?C.Nowadays:what means should we use in communication?D.Nowadays:do you need a thank-you message?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。

AIt’s summer movie time again. Check out our list of four films.Harry Potter and the Prisoner of AzkabanRelease Date: November 4Story: It’s the summer before Harry Potter’s third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A dangerous murderer, Sirius Black, has escaped from the Wizards’ Prison. And he was ordered to kill Harr y Potter.Around the World in 80 DaysRelease Date: November 16Story: This version of the classic novel set in 1872 focuses on Passepartout ( Hong Kong actor Jackie Chan), a Chinese thief who seeks refuge (庇护) with a strange London adventurer, Phileas Fogg. Passepartout uses his martial art skills(军事技能) to defend Fogg from danger as he travels around the world in 80 days.Spider-Man 2Release Date: November 30Story: Peter Parker is still coming to accept his dual identity (双重身份) as the crime superhero Spider-Man. He wants to reveal his secret identity to Mary Jane, meanwhile, his Aunt May is in trouble. This is Dr Otto Octavius who has appeared to bring her a lot of troubles.King ArthurRelease Date: November 7Story: King Arthur is presented as a clever ruler who manages to unite all the knights in Britain. Under the guidance of Merlin and the beautiful, brave Guinevere, Arthur will struggle to realize his dreams.1. When can you see the film acted by Jackie Chan?A. November 4B. November 30C. November 16.D. November 7.2. In Spider-Man 2, Aunt May’s trouble is caused by______.A. Spider-ManB. Peter ParkerC. Mary JaneD. Dr Otto Octavius3. What kind of article of this passage?A. A news reportB. A funny diary.C. An advertisement.D. A composition.BAn African proverb says that a single hand cannot tie a bundle. Everyone needs companions to help them sail through the rough seas of life. Even the strongest and richest person still needs friends. Our money and strength would have no value if we had no friends to share with us. The best friendship is a give-and-take relationship. We need the support of our family, friends and the community. In turn we also give support to the society, our friends and our family.The word “friend” has many meanings. It could be the bus driver who takes you to and from work every day. It could be a parent, a colleague, a wife or husband, a brother or sister, or even the unknown person who helped you just once when you could not find your way. Real friends share not only our happiness but our sorrows as well. This may explain why we have the expression “a friend in need is a friend indeed”.Friendship is like the sunshine that keeps us warm. It is like the refreshing raindrops on the fields that give the farmers hope of a good planting season. Without friends our life would be like a desert where our only friend would be loneliness and sadness. The most fortunate person is the one who has friends from all levels in the society. A driver might find friends not only among his colleagues but among farmers, bankers, traders, students, politicians or teachers. We should never forget our old friends when we make new ones. We should treasure each of our friends whether poor or rich, beautiful or not. Each friend is unique in his or her own way. And alltogether, they enrich life and make it very colourful.4. What is the main topic of the passage?A. How to sail through the sea of life.B. Friends and friendship.C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.D. Never forget old friends when making new ones.5. What is the correct understanding of friends according to the writer?A. Friends who share our happiness are not real friends.B. Friends will take us through rough seas.C. Friends never expect anything from others.D. Friends can be different people around us.6. An unknown person can be a friend as well when .A. he helps you with what you needB. he is told how to find his wayC. he becomes one of your familyD. he is a driver taking you from and to work7. The underlined word “unique” in the last paragraph most probably means “”.A. specialB. poorC. richD. valuableCMore than 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed across the globe each day, and it’s likely that many taste bitter.Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink taste sweeter by simply changing the colour of their cups.Scientists claim that blue and glass mugs, which are popular in some coffee shops, can reduce coffee’s bitterness, without any need for sugar, and that coffee drunk from white cups tastes the bitterest.To prove their claims, the researchers invited 36 volunteers and used three different colored cups -- blue, white and transparent glass -- to do an experiment.In the experiment, coffee consumed from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other two colored cups, while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest.The scientists believe that the colour brown may be associated with coffee’s bitterness because coffee in a white cup appears the brownest and tastes the bitterest. “Our study clearly shows that the colour of a coffee cup does influence the perceived (感受到的) taste and flavor of coffe e,” said Dr George Doorn of Federation University Australia, “but the potential effects may be different between a one-time purchase and a return customer.”“Anyhow, the effect of the colour of the cup on the flavor of the coffee suggests that café owners, baristas (服务员), as well as coffee cup manufacturers should carefully consider the colour of their cups, ” he added.However, the idea that colour can alter the taste of food and drink is not new.A study published last year revealed that red, strawberry-flavored mousse (慕斯蛋糕) served on a white plate was rated as 10 percent sweeter and 15 percent more flavorous than the same food presented on a black plate.8. What color of the cup can best reduce coffee’s bitterness without adding sugar?A. Blue.B. Brown.C. White.D. Transparent.9. The scientists used ________ to do the experiment to prove their claims.① different brands of coffee ② different colored coffee cups③ several volunteers ④ several manufacturesA. ① ②B. ② ③C. ② ④D. ③ ④10. Why does coffee in white cups taste the least sweet?A. Because white cups are not as beautiful as other cups.B. Because white cups make coffee appear the brownest.C. Because white cups reduce the sugar in them.D. Because white cups are better used to serve cakes.11. According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Black plates increase the sweetness of food and drink.B. Strawberry-flavored mousse is 10 percent sweeter than coffee.C. People consume more than 2.5 billion cups of coffee across the globe every year.D. People can make coffee taste sweeter by changing the color of their coffee cups.DPeter, a high school student, was pretty busy with school, and he was on the soccer team. High school was hard, because everyone wanted to have nice clothes, hang out, drive cars, and all these cost money. Peter’s father was the sort of guy that believed you had to ear n whatever you got, so he wasn’t just about to hand over lots of money for Peter to use to have fun. So, he had to get a job.During his freshman year summer vacation, his classmate got him a job working on a hay (干草) farm. He threw hay up into wagons as the tractor drove around fields, and then they stacked (剁起) it in the hot barn.（干草棚） It was a hot, low paying job.He once worked a few nights a week at a grocer y store. He put things on the shelf. It was a lot of lifting and carrying, and his arms were strong from this and the previous job. It was dull and didn’t pay much.He took some time off when soccer got serious, but the following summer he tried working at a lumber（废旧家具）yard. It was hot outside, but he got a lot of exercise lifting and carrying things like boards and dry wall. He also learned a lot about building supplies. It still didn’t pay well.From there, he spent a year doing some tutoring for a friend of the family, but that was piecemeal. His first real job came the last year at school, when he fixed registers and worked on computers at a big box store. It was his favorite job yet, but it still didn’t pay well.What Peter realized with all of these jobs was that he needed a better paying job! The only way to get that was to get trained or educated. He could go to school and ge t a 2year degree in an office or technical position. His other choices were going to a 4year college or joining the army. He wasn’t sure what he was going to do yet, but he knew he had to do something. Jobs were a lot of work, money was hard to earn, but he liked staying busy and being able to buy things. Peter wanted the most out of life, and that meant education.12. How many jobs had Peter taken?A. ThreeB. FourC. FiveD. Six13.All the jobs Peter had taken had one thing in common:________.A. They were done during his vacationB. They were dull and tiresomeC. They needed hard labourD. They didn’t pay well14. ________was the most important for Peter if he wanted a good job.A. ConfidenceB.

It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and their write on it, all within 45minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are not different from your classmates, young man. ”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it homie.In the quiet ness of my bedroom; the ‘story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raise dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn’t I the “blind”in my class; being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out(溢出)and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place: If Louis could find his “Way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?”I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to ‘me the next day-. with an “A”on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:. “See what you can do when you keep trying?”5．The author didn’t finish the reading in class because .A．He was new to the classB．He was tried of literatureC．He had an attention disorderD．He wanted to take the task home6．What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?A．He had good sightB．He made a great invention.C．He gave up readingD．He learned a lot from school7．What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at t he end of the story?A．AngryB．ImpatientC．SympatheticD．Encouraging8．What is the main idea of the passage?A．The disabled should be treated with respect.B．A teacher can open up a new world to students.C．One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D．Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.Scientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach, according to a report by the UK newspaper. The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University, Japan and American company Johnson conducted the study together. They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail in Ishikawa District, northern Japan. They compared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japan's Okinawa District.They found that on the beach, eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules (千焦耳) of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas.The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological (气象的) Agency. According to the agency, the reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent, compared to 80 percent in the new snow areas. The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin. That's why we wear sunscreen on our skinbefore we get out in the sun. But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, you may experience a kind of sunburn of the eye, which is harmful. Your eyes will become red and feel a strange feeling. They may be sensitive to light. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and seldom causes permanent damage to the eyes.Long-term exposure to UV radiation, however, can be more serious. Scientific studies and researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damage, which could lead to total blindness.9．You would most likely find the article in ________.A．a doctor’s diary B．a travel journalC．a medical magazine D．a physics textbook10．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Too much eye exposure to UV rays may cause total blindness.B．Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesn't harm them at all.C．Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.D．The study was conducted by researchers from Japan, the USA and the UK. 11．Human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach because ________.A．snow produces more UV light than waterB．people don’t wear sunscreen while skiing as they do while sitting on the beachC．the reflection rate of UV light in snow-covered areas is much higher than that on the beach D．human eyes are exposed longer to UV light in the snow- covered areas than on the beach 12．What will the passage most probably talk about next?A．Never ski on newly fallen snow in Japan.B．Go to hospital to have your eyes examined.C．Wearing a hat can provide protection while skiing in new snow areas.D．Take some measures to protect your eyes while skiing in new snow areas.二、七选五How to Do Man-on-the-Street InterviewsThe man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with acameraman to interview people on the spot. 13．But with these tips, your firstman-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you mig ht ask, “Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?” 14．Hit the streets with confidence. 15．Say, “Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic.” This is a quick way to get pe ople to warm up to you.Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested. Don’t get discouraged.16．Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer, you won’t be able to use it. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. 17．If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air, don’t leave work without them.A．Limit your time.B．As you approach people, be polite.C．If you don’t own a camera, you can buy one.D．For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.E.To get good and useful results, ask them the same question.F.That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.G.With a question like this, you will get more than a “Yes” or “No” reply.三、完形填空At my heaviest I weighed 370 pounds.

甘肃省天水市第一中学高三英语上学期第三次考试试题(普通班)

AIt’s summer movie time again. Check out our list of four films.Harry Potter and the Prisoner of AzkabanRelease Date: November 4Story: It’s the summer before Harry Potter’s third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A dangerous murderer, Sirius Black, has escaped from the Wizards’ Prison. And he was ordered to kill Harr y Potter.Around the World in 80 DaysRelease Date: November 16Story: This version of the classic novel set in 1872 focuses on Passepartout ( Hong Kong actor Jackie Chan), a Chinese thief who seeks refuge (庇护) with a strange London adventurer, Phileas Fogg. Passepartout uses his martial art skills(军事技能) to defend Fogg from danger as he travels around the world in 80 days.Spider-Man 2Release Date: November 30Story: Peter Parker is still coming to accept his dual identity (双重身份) as the crime superhero Spider-Man. He wants to reveal his secret identity to Mary Jane, meanwhile, his Aunt May is in trouble. This is Dr Otto Octavius who has appeared to bring her a lot of troubles.King ArthurRelease Date: November 7Story: King Arthur is presented as a clever ruler who manages to unite all the knights in Britain. Under the guidance of Merlin and the beautiful, brave Guinevere, Arthur will struggle to realize his dreams.1. When can you see the film acted by Jackie Chan?A. November 4B. November 30C. November 16.D. November 7.2. In Spider-Man 2, Aunt May’s trouble is caused by______.A. Spider-ManB. Peter ParkerC. Mary JaneD. Dr Otto Octavius3. What kind of article of this passage?A. A news reportB. A funny diary.C. An advertisement.D. A composition.BAn African proverb says that a single hand cannot tie a bundle. Everyone needs companions to help them sail through the rough seas of life. Even the strongest and richest person still needs friends. Our money and strength would have no value if we had no friends to share with us. The best friendship is a give-and-take relationship. We need the support of our family, friends and the community. In turn we also give support to the society, our friends and our family.The word “friend” has many meanings. It could be the bus d river who takes you to and from work every day. It could be a parent, a colleague, a wife or husband, a brother or sister, or even the unknown person who helped you just once when you could not find your way. Real friends share not only our happiness but our sorrows as well. This may explain why we have the expression “a friend in need is a friend indeed”.Friendship is like the sunshine that keeps us warm. It is like the refreshing raindrops on the fields that give the farmers hope of a good planting season. Without friends our life would be like a desert where our only friend would be loneliness and sadness. The most fortunate person is the one who has friends from all levels in the society. A driver might find friends not only among his colleagues but among farmers, bankers, traders, students, politicians or teachers. We should never forget our old friends when we make new ones. We should treasure each of our friends whether poor or rich, beautiful or not. Each friend is unique in his or her own way. And alltogether, they enrich life and make it very colourful.4. What is the main topic of the passage?A. How to sail through the sea of life.B. Friends and friendship.C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.D. Never forget old friends when making new ones.5. What is the correct understanding of friends according to the writer?A. Friends who share our happiness are not real friends.B. Friends will take us through rough seas.C. Friends never expect anything from others.D. Friends can be different people around us.6. An unknown person can be a friend as well when .A. he helps you with what you needB. he is told how to find his wayC. he becomes one of your familyD. he is a driver taking you from and to work7. The underlined wor d “unique” in the last paragraph most probably means “”.A. specialB. poorC. richD. valuableCMore than 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed across the globe each day, and it’s likely that many taste bitter.Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink taste sweeter by simply changing the colour of their cups.Scientists claim that blue and glass mugs, which are popular in some coffee shops, can reduce coffee’s bitterness, without any need for sugar, and that coffee drunk from white cups tastes the bitterest.To prove their claims, the researchers invited 36 volunteers and used three different colored cups -- blue, white and transparent glass -- to do an experiment.In the experiment, coffee consumed from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other two colored cups, while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest.The scientists believe that the colour brown may be associated with coffee’s bitterness because coffee in a white cup appears the brownest and tastes the bitterest. “Our study clearly shows that the colour of a coffee cup does influence the perceived (感受到的) taste and flavor of coffee,” said Dr George Doorn of Federation University Australia, “but the potential effects may be different between a one-time purchase and a return customer.”“Anyhow, the effect of the colour of the cup on the flavor of the coffee suggests that café owners, baristas (服务员), as well as coffee cup manufacturers should caref ully consider the colour of their cups, ” he added.However, the idea that colour can alter the taste of food and drink is not new.A study published last year revealed that red, strawberry-flavored mousse (慕斯蛋糕) served on a white plate was rated as 10 percent sweeter and 15 percent more flavorous than the same food presented on a black plate.8. What color of the cup can best reduce coffee’s bitterness without adding sugar?A. Blue.B. Brown.C. White.D. Transparent.9. The scientists used ________ to do the experiment to prove their claims.① different brands of coffee ② different colored coffee cups③ several volunteers ④ several manufacturesA. ① ②B. ② ③C. ② ④D. ③ ④10. Why does coffee in white cups taste the least sweet?A. Because white cups are not as beautiful as other cups.B. Because white cups make coffee appear the brownest.C. Because white cups reduce the sugar in them.D. Because white cups are better used to serve cakes.11. According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Black plates increase the sweetness of food and drink.B. Strawberry-flavored mousse is 10 percent sweeter than coffee.C. People consume more than 2.5 billion cups of coffee across the globe every year.D. People can make coffee taste sweeter by changing the color of their coffee cups.DPeter, a high school student, was pretty busy with school, and he was on the soccer team. High school was hard, because everyone wanted to have nice clothes, hang out, drive cars, and all these cost money. Peter’s father was the sort of guy that believed you had to earn whatever you got, so he wasn’t just about to hand over lots of m oney for Peter to use to have fun. So, he had to get a job.During his freshman year summer vacation, his classmate got him a job working on a hay (干草) farm. He threw hay up into wagons as the tractor drove around fields, and then they stacked (剁起) it in the hot barn.（干草棚） It was a hot, low paying job.He once worked a few nights a week at a grocer y store. He put things on the shelf. It was a lot of lifting and carrying, and his arms were strong from this and the previous job. It was dull and didn’t pay much.He took some time off when soccer got serious, but the following summer he tried working at a lumber（废旧家具）yard. It was hot outside, but he got a lot of exercise lifting and carrying things like boards and dry wall. He also learned a lot about building supplies. It still didn’t pay well.From there, he spent a year doing some tutoring for a friend of the family, but that was piecemeal. His first real job came the last year at school, when he fixed registers and worked on computers at a big box store. It was his favorite job yet, but it still didn’t pay well.What Peter realized with all of these jobs was that he needed a better paying job! The only way to get that was to get trained or educated. He could go to school and ge t a 2year degree in an office or technical position. His other choices were going to a 4year college or joining the army. He wasn’t s ure what he was going to do yet, but he knew he had to do something. Jobs were a lot of work, money was hard to earn, but he liked staying busy and being able to buy things. Peter wanted the most out of life, and that meant education.12. How many jobs had Peter taken?A. ThreeB. FourC. FiveD. Six13.All the jobs Peter had taken had one thing in common:________.A. They were done during his vacationB. They were dull and tiresomeC. They needed hard labourD. They did n’t pay well14. ________was the most important for Peter if he wanted a good job.A. ConfidenceB. EducationC. OpportunityD. Wisdom15. We can learn from the text that________.A. Peter knew what to do for his futureB. Peter’s father didn’t care about himC. it was very hard for Peter to make his choicesD. Peter was determined to do whatever he liked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’ve had too many disappointing meals and paid too much money for them! At one point, fed up with my complaint, a friend suggested I open my own restaurant. Impossible, I thought. But then I heard about supper clubs.” Supper clubs are a mixture of a restaurant and a dinner party—you go to a stranger’s house and he/she cooks dinner for you. Like a restaurant, you pay for your food, but like a dinner party, you eat at the same table as other people. They are advertised through social-networking sites with a menu and little information about where the supper club is until just before the meal.“It’s like running a secret restaurant for one night,”says Cassie. “The next morning, I set the tables and chairs aside. I put the TV back and it’s my living room again.”Cassie opens her “restaurant”for people about once a month, and she really enjoys the evenings she’s had so far. She uses fresh, local ingredients and a typical meal costs about the same as a takeaway---much less than a restaurant meal. So how doesshe make money out of it?“I don’t,” says Cassie. “In fact, at first I was worried about losing money on my club. I’m good at cooking but my maths is terrible! But I was surprised by how cheaply I could make a good meal. This isn’t about money. It’s about a different eating experience.”And what about inviting complete strangers into her house? Was Cassie ever nervous about that?“Not at all,”she says. “Almost everyone at the supper club is just interested in having a good meal with other interesting people”.4. Why did Cassie decide to open her own restaurant finally?A. To earn a livingB. To satisfy her friend’s needsC. To make friends with strangersD. To cook cheap and good meals for others5. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Dinner partiesB. Supper clubsC. Fresh ingredientsD. Invitations to dinner6. We can know that Cassie’s restaurant __________.A. serves meals for freeB. only serves takeawaysC. is only open to her friendsD. is only open in the evening7. How does Cassie feel about her restaurant now?A. WorriedB. ContentC. AnnoyedD. SensitiveCMany people believe that language belongs to human beings. However, cats have developed a language not for each other, but for the human begins who have them as pets.When communicating with each other, cats “talk”with a system of signals. Their tails, rather than any kind of “speech”, act as an important way to express themselves. They also touch each other to express their feelings. With other cats, they will use their voices only to express pain. Unbelievable, all of that changes when a human walks into the room. Cats use many different kinds of vocal(声音的)expressions when they communicate with a person. Since these vocal expressionsare not used to communicate with other cats, it seems that cats developed this “language” to communicate with their human owners.This fact is shown more clearly when watching rooms that have only one cat and those with several cats. An only cat is usually very vocal, since the only creature(动物)around with whom the cat can communicate is its owner. Cats with other cats, though, are much quieter. If they want to have a conversation, they only need go to other cats and communicate in their natural way.Since cats learned to meow(喵喵叫)for the only purpose of communicating with human owners should take the time to learn what their different meows mean. If an owner knows, to name just a few examples, with meow means the cat is hungry, which means the cat wants to be petted, and which means the cat wants to have a little “conversation”, the relationship between cat and owner will be closer.8. If a cat among other has finds part of its body hurts, it may express its pain with its_______.A. tailB. eyesC. voiceD. head9. When a human enters a room full of cats, they _________.A. begin to use vocal expressionsB. use their tails to show loveC. stop making any noise anD. stop communicating with each other10. What are cat owners advised to do?A. Encourage cats to talk with each otherB. Communicate more with catsC. Learn to meow in different waysD. Teach cats to understand human language11. What is the text mainly about?A. Communication among catsB. pets’ different expressionsC. Advice on keeping petsD. The language of catsDHow much weight a baby gains during its first month could determine its IQ, as a new research suggests. The study found that children who gain more weight, and whose heads grow quickly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ when they start school.Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in Australia studied 13,800 children who were born at full-term. They found that hose who put on 40% of their birth weight in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher than those who only put on 15% of their birth weight. Those who experienced the biggest growth in head circumference(头围)also had the highest IQs by the age of six.“Head circumference is an indicator of brain volume, so a greater increase in head circumference in a newly-born baby suggests more rapid brain growth,”says the led author of the study, Dr. Lisa Smithers.She added, “Overall, newly-born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had higher IQ scores later in life. those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal(those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal(言语)IQ at age 6. This my be because the neural(神经的) structures for verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which means the rapid weight gain during the first month could be having a direct cognitive benefit for the children.”Previous studies have shown the association between early postnatal(产后的)diet and IQ, but this is the first study of its kind to focus on the IQ benefits of rapid weight gain in the first month of life. Dr. Smithers says the study further highlights the need for successful feeding of newly-born babies. “We know that many mothers have difficulty establishing breastfeeding in the first week of their babies’life,” Dr. Smithers said.“The findings of our study suggest that if babies are having feeding problems, there needs to be early intervention(干预)in the management of that feeding.”12. The study mainly shows that ____________.A. head circumference is certainly connected to IQB. babies’ heads grow quickly during the first monthC. full-term babies tend to be cleverer than premature babies(早产儿)D. the more weight newly-born babies gain, the higher IQ they are likely to have13. How did the researchers get their conclusion from the study?A. By asking questionsB. By making comparisonC. By having a discussionD. By referring to documents14. According to Dr. Smithers, we can learn that _________.A. a kid’s verbal IQ scores reach its highest at age sixB. this study helps parents find feeding problemsC. quick weight gain benefits newly born babies on verbal IQD. this study reminds parents of the need for breastfeeding15. The study differs from previous ones that ____________.A. it associates early postnatal diet with IQB. it pays attention to the IQ of newly-born babiesC. it emphasizes the significance of successful feedingD. it first focuses on the relation between IQ and weight gain in the first month of life.第二节阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Many people find it hard to lose weight and have to go starvation. Now, I’d like to offer some tricks to help lose weight.Put out a large vegetable plate. Eating water-rich foods such as tomatoes during meals reduces calorie consumption.

（满分：120分时间：100分钟）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。

AListed here are four of the thousands of impressive museums around the world. The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Bilbao, SpainBuilt in 1997, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is one of the newest in the world. It has transformed the industrial city of Bilbao into a traveler's desired destination. The beautiful architecture of the museum has provided a dramatic background for movies and commercials.The Louvre in Paris, FranceProbably the most famous Louvre also holds the most famous painting in the world, the"Mona Lisa"by Leonardo da Vinci. Crowds can be found any day surrounding the small, but mysterious painting of the smiling woman. But, the Louvre is much more than a home to the"Mona Lisa". The Louvre is visited by more people each year than any other museum in the world.The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, AmericaJust opened in its new downtown location in 2012, the Barnes Foundation is unique in that it is a completely reproduced display from one man's private collection. Dr. Albert C. Barnes started collecting art in the early 20th century and collected, among others, the largest number of original Renoir paintings in the world.The Uffizi Gallery in Florence, ItalyWalking on the marbled floors feels like stepping back in time. The building itself is a beautiful palace-like structure with frescoes(湿壁画)decorating the ceilings and walls. Viewers are bowled over(印象深刻)by the works by Botticelli, such as"The Birth of Venus". Classic artworks from nearly 1,000 years ago describe religious events of the time.1.Which of the following is the most popular ? ______A. The Louvre.B. The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.C. The Barnes Foundation.D. The Uffizi Gallery.2.What makes the Barnes Foundation particular ?______A. Its structure.B. Its collection.C. Its location.D. Its history.3.What type of writing is this text ? ______A. An activity poster.B. An exhibition announcement.C. An art show review.D. A travel guide.BFood serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Foodcan also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat and when and how we eat them are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes,bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.4.According to the passage, sharing bread________.A. indicates a lack of foodB. can help to develop unityC. is a custom unique to rural areasD. has its roots in birthday celebrations5.What does the coin in vasilopita signify for its receiver in the New Year ?A. trustB. successC. healthD. togetherness6.The author explains the role of food in celebrations by ________.A. using examplesB. making comparisonsC. analyzing causesD. describing processes7.What is the passage mainly about ?A. The custom of sharing food.B. The specific meaning of food.C. The role of food in ceremonies.D. The importance of food in culture.CAttending college can be expensive, and applying to college can be costly as well. With today's college application fees averaging around $80, you can expect to spend hundreds of dollars on college before you are even accepted into a school.One of the easiest ways to save money on college application fees before you begin applying is to narrow down your list of schools. To save money, try to limit the schools to which you apply to about 2-3 reach schools and 2-3 safety schools.At some schools, being a relative of a graduate can secure you a free application.If you are applying to a school where one of your parents or grandparents is a former graduate, check to see if you're qualified for it.Research the preferred method of applying for each school on your list. Some schools offer free online applications, yet charge a fee for paper submissions(提交). This is because online applications save schools the cost of employing a staff member to physically enter the application information.Several states, such as Michigan and North Carolina, take part in College Application Week, where many schools in the participating states cancel their application fee for the week. Be sure to contact the schools to which you are applying to see if they participate in College Application Week and when the program takes place in that state.Apply for early admission. If you have already decided on which college is your top choice, consider applying under an Early Action or Early Decision admission program. If you are accepted, you won't have to submit application fees to other schools.For more information regarding(关于) college applications and the fees associated with them, contact your high school advisor or the admissions department at your school(s) of interest.8.The passage is mainly written to ______.A. introduce famous universities in the United StalesB. show some practical ways to apply an ideal collegeC. advertise for successful applications and advisorsD. offer tips to save money on college application fees9.What does the author advise to do in the second paragraph?A. Write down your favorite universities.B. Reduce the number of your university choices.C. Apply to two universities each time.D. Mind your safety when applying to college.10.Some schools offer free online application to ______.A. receive fees faster than beforeB. employ someone else to workC. cut down the cost of employmentD. enter the application information11.It can be known from the passage that ______.A. application fee might be canceled conditionallyB. many countries attend College Application WeekC. applying for early admission is the best policyD. admission departments determine your futureDLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalization and better communicationsin the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution(分布) of these languages is hugely uneven(不均衡的). The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2 400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数)of speakersis a mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of, 6,800 languages are close to extinction, with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150), Lipan Apache in the United States(twoor three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.12.What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?A. They developed very fast.B. They were large in number.C. They had similar patterns.D. They were closely connected.13.Which of the following best explains "dominant " underlined in paragraph 2 ?A. Complex.B. Advanced.C. Powerful.D. Modern.14.How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present ?A. About 6,800B. About 3,400C. About 2,400D. About 1,20015.What is the main idea of the text ?A. New languages will be created.B. People’s lifestyles are reflected in languages.C. Human development results in fewer languages.D. Geography determines language evolution.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。
