AWhen her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene andDiana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business."Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.1. Helene tied several chopsticks together to show ______.A. the strength of family unityB. the difficulty of growing upC. the advantage of chopsticksD. the best way of giving a lesson2. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the An family ______.A. started a business in 1975B. left Vietnam without muchmoneyC. bought a restaurant in San FranciscoD. opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles3. What can we infer about the An daughters?A. They did not finish their college education.B. They could not bear to work in the family business.C. They were influenced by what Helene taught them.D. They were troubled by disagreement among family members.4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How to Run a CorporationB. Strength Comes from PeaceC. How to Achieve a Big DreamD. Family Unity Builds SuccessBAs Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the firstexperiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)".According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.5. The passage begins with two questions to ______.A. introduce the main topicB. show the author's altitudeC. describe how to use the Interne.D. explain how to store information6. What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.C. The first group did not try to remember the formation.D. The second group did not understand the information.7. In transactive memory, people ______.A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of informationC. organize information like a computerD. remember how to find the information8. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?A. We are using memory differently.B. We are becoming more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.CThere are an extremely large number of ants worldwide. Each individual ant hardly weigh anything, but put together they weigh roughly the same as all of mankind. They also live nearly everywhere, except on frozen mountain tops and around the poles. For animals their size, ants have been astonishingly successful, largely due to theirwonderful social behavior.In colonies (群体) that range in size from a few hundred to tens of millions, they organize their lives with a clear division of labor. Even more amazing is how they achieve this level of organization. Where we use sound and sight to communicate, ants depend primarily on pheromone (外激素), chemicals sent out by individuals and smelled or tasted by fellow members of their colony. When an ant finds food, it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is. When an individual ant comes under attack or is dying, it sends out an alarm pheromone to warn the colony to prepare for a conflict as a defense unit.In fact, when it comes to the art of war, ants have no equal. They are completely fearless and will readily take on a creature much larger than themselves, attacking in large groups and overcoming their target. Such is their devotion to the common good of the colony that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will sacrifice their lives to help defeat an enemy.Behaving in this selfless and devoted manner, these little creatures have survived on Earth, for more than 140 million years, far longer than dinosaurs. Because they think as one, they have a collective (集体的) intelligence greater than you would expect from its individual parts.9. We can learn from the passage that ants are ____________.A. not willing to share foodB. not found around the polesC. more successful than all other animalsD. too many to achieve any level of organization10. Ants can use pheromones for______.A. escapeB. communicationC. warning enemiesD. arranging labor11. What does the underlined expression "take on" in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Accept.B. Employ.C. Play with.D. Fight against.12. Which of the following contributes most to the survival of ants?A. Their behavior.B. Their size.C. Their number.D. Their weight 第二局部(一共5小题；每一小题2分，满分是10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项，选项里面有两项为多余选项。

英语第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）2019-2020年高二下学期第四次周练英语试题含答案Dear Santa,What do I ask this year? I have read each ad carefully in my mailbox, and looked through the colorful ads in the newspaper. There are so many lovely things, but I need nothing.I realize this as I walk up the hill on my strong legs. I can hear the air fill my lungs. I feel the cold on my cheeks. I smell the smoke of the fire that warms my home. I see the snow-covered mountains and the small river dotted with fat geese.I need nothing. There are people who love me. There are people who forgive my sometimes bad temper and who touch me with loving hands. There are neighbors who smile in the store. There are shopkeepers who tolerate me when I don’t have enough money. There a re kind faces in public places.There is a fat cat who often slides into my garage. Dogs and other cats share my hearth (炉床); I love to feel their fur with my feet. There are hawks that teach their young how to fly, right there behind my house. There are deer that wander into my yard and smell apples.Green beans, tomatoes, peas and carrots color my kitchen. And a full bucket (桶) of hand tools and neatly dried seeds promise next year’s rich harvest. I need nothing.Today I discovered a hole in my jeans. I felt the December air flow down my leg. How powerful the hand is that sweeps the wind along the mountains! Santa, dear old soul, just give me another day like this one in my life.1. The author has read each ad in his mailbox in order to .A. find something as a present for himselfB. find something as a present for his kidsC. get the news about vegetable pricesD. get the news about pet animals2. What’s the author’s attitude towards life?A. Uncertain.B. Anxious.C. Hopeful.D. Dissatisfied.3. We can learn from the text that the author .A. is very old and in bad healthB. lives alone and has few friendsC. is too poor to pay for good clothesD. may live close to mountains and riversBI want to bee a journalist and I wonder what makes a good journalist. In order to find the answer, I talked to Mary Harte who worked with the BBC for over 20 years as a journalist.“You’ve got to have the interest. If you don’t like it, you will not persist because journalism is a very difficult job,” Mary said.Out of experience Mary told me that it was very important for a journalist to watch and talk to people. She said, “What a journalist does is painting a little picture of a story. The information has to be accura te. Therefore, you really have to be watching and listening.”Mary also emphasized (强调) the importance of experience. “It is important to collect as many skills as possible to be able to stand out of the crowd. A lot of the skills e from experience, so you won’t walk in the street and be a good journalist. You will be a good journalist because you’ve done it long enough,” she said.Mary said, “You will not get a job handed to you. You will have to be prepared to put in long hours; you will have to be prepared to ring people, and you will have to be prepared to have no money for quite a while. In a word, you will have to work hard for it. Then it gets to the stage where you love your job and you think ‘Why is somebody paying me to do something that I really love?’”From what an experienced journalist said, I learn that it is not just about the skills, but also the passion required to work in the field of journalism.4. The underlined part “not persist” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “”.A. stay upB. stand outC. give upD. keep up5. In Paragraph 2, Mary Harte mainly tells us that .A. being a journalist is interestingB. journalists will face a lot of difficultiesC. the author must be fond of journalismD. many people give up journalism6. According to Paragraph 3, Mary Harte thinks that it is important to .A. get accurate information through talking and watchingB. watch what other journalists do to make a wonderful storyC. talk to people about how they want their stories to be writtenD. add as much information to a story as possible to make it funny7. By saying “You will not get a job handed to you” in Paragraph 5, Mary Harte means the author .A. will not bee a journalistB. will have to work hard for the jobC. will not get any help from othersD. will get tired of being a journalist soonCVolcan de Lodo El Totumo, ColombiaIf in Colombia at the end of February, you should make Cartagena part of your journey — here between December and March every year is the opportunity to get dirty. Bathing in mud from theVolcan de Lodo El Totumo can be best described as a primal (原始的) experience. The volcano is small, looking more like a little hill. If you reach the very top, you’ll discover gray mud. It’s believed that the mud has a curing effect in cleaning your skin.La Tomatina, SpainIt’s possibly the most famous food fight in the world. So if you think tomatoes are only for salads, you are on a wrong track. In a small Spanish village named Bunol, on the last Wednesday of August every year, trucks dump (倾倒) about 120 tons of tomatoes in the streets of the town and tomato juice flows from there.El Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), MexicoIn early November each year Mexicans gather in cemeteries (墓地) to hold a celebration. That’s a celebration of the dead. People smoke cigars and eat festive foods to show life goes on as they honor those who have died. The idea is based on the belief that the spirits of the dead pay their families a visit on October 31 and stay until November 2.World Ice Golf Championship, GreenlandFor more than 10 years the World Ice Golf Championship has been regarded as the most extreme golf tournament in the world. There golfers take extreme temperatures as their first task to deal with. Then it will take players time and patience to be accustomed (习惯) to orange balls to play with. Determined by weather conditions, the tournament is scheduled for March each year in Greenland.8. The text is mainly about .A. interesting holiday centers for travelersB. some unusual festivals and eventsC. strange customs around the worldD. special sports events in Europe9.

El Dia de los Muertos is held in order to .A. pass their belief to the next generationB. visit the dead in a special wayC. celebrate the death of othersD. honor their ancestorsDAt 91, Philip Theil lives in a century-old house in Seattle’s University District and that’s the way he wants to keep it. “As far as I’m concerned, I would not like to leave this place. Living in a group is something I couldn’t tolerate. I’d kill myself before I have to do that.” Many elderly Americans, who can no longer manage on their own, spend their final years in a nursing home. However, the vast majority of seniors would prefer to live in their own homes as long as possible.Theil says he and his wife manage pretty well right now. But the couple can feel their advancing age and realize they will soon need more help with basic household chores, like changing the light bulb at the top of the stairs.“To change that tube, I have to bring in a stepladder (折梯) and put it partly on the landing and partly on the stairs and climb up,” Theil says. “It’s frightening.” In the old days, the Theils could ask their children to help them. But those young helpers have grown up and gone. “We have kids and we call them sometimes, but one lives in Munich, Germany, another lives in London and the third lives in New York,” Theil says. “They’re not going to visit us for a weekend.”So the Theils would like to join a virtual (虚拟的) village, which provides a local network of volunteers helping the elderly people in place. They help seniors with anything from transportation to home repairs and dog walking. The concept came into being in Boston a decade ago and has since grown into a national movement. In most cases, the villages charge a membership (会员) fee from about $100 to more than $1,000 per year. Once you’re a member, some of the services are free.12. Theil wants to .A. live with his children togetherB. kill himself before moving outC. live in his own home for his final yearsD. spend the rest of his life in a nursing home13.

What can we learn about Theil’s family?A. The old couple can’t depend on their kids helping them.B. Their children all live in foreign countries.C. Their children are too busy to go home.D. Theil’s wife can’t manage on herself.15.

We will be really happy when we get a new car or a big house or get married... The thing is, if we are continually searching for happiness in the outside world, we will be very disappointed. It seems as if we are forever chasing it and it is always just one step away.Happiness is a short state of mind, just like the state of sadness or joy or anger. It would not be possible for us to be in a happy state 24 hours a day. If you think that sounds laughable, think about being at a funeral when everyone is mourning. Would it feel right to go about with a huge smile on your face?What we go through in our lives helps us grow and understand the value of happiness. We need to be able to respond in all manner of ways according to what we are dealing with at any given time. All emotions and states are part of the life.Happiness can be found in reaching out and being in relationship with people. Though time or money may be lost in helping others, these will become our happy memories. Happiness is a dance with whatever in front of you. It is a deep connection to everything around you. It does not come from expecting others to bring you joy but from how you can create joy for others.If you want to experience happiness more often, see what you can do to put a smile on someone else’s face each day and notice how much happier you feel when you have achieved that. Happiness is not to be found in material possessions. It is freely available to everyone at any time. All that is required to experience happiness is that you place your focus on moments in your life that make you smile.18．From the second paragraph we can infer that ________.A．you may as well smile at a funeralB．we should only keep happiness in mindC．expression must be fit for the proper situationD．we can be in a happy state 24 hours a day19．According to the author, happiness can show up when ________.A．you don’t have to workB．you expect others to bring you joyC．a good relationship is maintainedD．you are free to do anything20．The underlined phrase “reaching out” in Paragraph 4 means ________.A．stretching one’s handB．offering help to someoneC．trying to get somethingD．realizing one’s dream21．Which of the following is TRUE according to the last paragraph?A．Smiling to others is rarely available to everyone.B．Making others smile can create one’s own happiness.C．Having possessions leads to one’s own satisfaction.D．Experiencing happiness is to smile at others.（题文）Lots of people like a good fright at Halloween. Yet, the most frightening thing of all about the night is that twice as many children are killed while out and about on Hallween compared to any other day of the year, according to a study by Safe Kids Worldwide. It can also be a worrying timefor others, especially elderly people living alone. Bu many people think it’s just harmless fun.But is it harmless fun?Police forces across Britain are giving warnings about Halloween night. They are asking all those wishing to celebrate Halloween this year to respect those who don’t want to join in.Some forces, like West Mercia Police, have produced “Sorry, No Trick or Treat” posters which can be downloaded from their website, and put up in windows. They want people to send them to the old or anyone who may be frightened by ghosts(鬼)knocking on their doors.A spokesman said: “Children should not call on houses where the posters are put up, neither should they call on strangers, as this can put young people at risk and also make some house owners anxious, especially those who are elderly or living alone.”The police want all trick or treaters to remember that disturbing other people or throwing objects at their homes or cars are all criminal offences(刑事罪). “What may start off as a bit of fun could end up with someone getting a criminal record,” they warn. “Parents may want to consider having a Halloween party at home, instead.”Kent Police are warning young people never to go into the home of someone they don’tknow----and to remember not to frighten people.Warwickshire Police are also warning that tricks may seem like harmless fun but can cause trouble to others. They say behaviour such as throwing eggs can quickly cross the line between being anti-social and causing criminal damage. This can result in fines of ￡2,500 for small offences. 22．What has the study made by Safe Kids Worldwide found?A．Halloween brings people no fun B．Halloween night puts some kids at risk C．kids are involved in criminal offences D．kids are afraid of Halloween23．Why are British police forces making efforts to?A．Control anti-social behaviours B．Put an end to trick or treatC．Make Halloween safe and trouble-free D．Punish those who frighten others24．Why are the “Sorry, No Trick or Treat” posters designed?A．To express disagreement with Halloween B．To ask people to respect the elderlyC．To warn little kids to behave themselves D．To make some people free from harm 25．Which of the following things is encouraged by the police during Halloween?A．Having a Halloween party at home B．Inviting the elderly to join in the celebration C．Going trick or treating from door to door D．Giving strangers a good fright七选五三、信息匹配While it is impossible to live completely free of stress(压力)，it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect26. _____.The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.◆ 27．When you are nervous，angry or upset，try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity.Running，walking，playing tennis，and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.◆Take care of yourselfYou should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest.If you easily get angry and can’t sleep well enough，or if you’re not eating properly，it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations.28．◆Make time for yourselfSchedule time for both work and entertainment.Don't forget，play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work.29．Go window-shopping or work on a hobby.Allow yourself at leasta half hour each day to do something you enjoy.◆Make a list of things to doStress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do，and not enough time”.Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result，you may not achieve anything.Instead，make a list of everything you have to do，then30．，checking off each task as it is completed.Set out to do the most important task first.A．You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun.B．Try physical activityC．take care of everything at onceD．If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping，you should consult a doctor.E. do one thing at a timeF.

For my parents it was a good thing because it meant owning a home for the first time. But it meant that I d have to change schools and that put some butterflies in my stomach.On the first day of school, kids jammed the school grounds. That’s when I met Barbara. We made a nervous conversation and soon learned we were in the same class. She was funny and we had a lot in common. But she was very critical of others and sometimes of me. She made fun of my bushy hair, my big glasses and the clothes I wore. But it seemed as though the things we had in common were more important than the annoyances.The girls in the “popular” crowd had also been exposed to her sharp tongue. One day, one of the girls approached me while I gathered my books. “We really like you,” she said. “The only way you can play with us, though, is if you keep your distan ce from Barbara.”Were those girls only trying to make trouble between the two of us? Would they watch me dump (抛弃) Barbara and then dump me for laughs?From the comer of my eye I found two of the other girls from the group. They were watching me and giggling (咯咯地笑). I wondered if I was cool enough for them. I didn’t want to make the choice they were forcing me to make. So I shook my head and said, “I don’t think so. I likeBarbara and we’re good friends.” Then I gathered my books and ran away.Even though Barbara still annoyed me at times, I knew I’d done the right thing. I’d made my own decision about a girl who had befriended me when I badly needed a friend. When she moved the following year I missed her friendship terribly. But what I kept has never left me—myself-respect.24. What does the underlined phrase mean?A. Got me to feel more excited.B. Left me in a state of desire.C. Brought me more expectation.D. Made me have a nervous feeling.25. What do we know about Barbara?A. She was a girl with a sharp tongue.B. She was popular with kids at school.C. She offered others help in critical moments.D. She was very critical of her own dress.26. What was the writer asked to do by one girl?A. To join the “popular” crowd.B. To end her fr iendship with Barbara.C. To invite Barbara to hang out with them.D. To pretend to be cool in the “popular” crowd.27. What lesson did the writer learn from her experience?A. Keep far away from the “popular” group.B. Avoid making friends with an annoying person.C. Keep self-respect in making your own decisions.D. Share common interest with your friends.COne of the most efficient ways to achieve peace and speed up economies is to provide girls with better education and more rights. Today, girls’ la ck of access to basic education is getting more serious when it comes to the use of digital technology, leaving them far behind boys. And because the world is even more digital, those who lack basic internet skills will find it increasingly more difficult to take part in the formal economy, to get a quality education, and to have their voices heard.Since 2013 the global gender gap (性别差异) in male and female access to the Internet has actually increased from 11 to 12 percent. Worse yet, women and girls living in the poorest countries are 31 percent less likely than men and boys to have access to the Internet. In developing countries, some 200 million fewer women than men own a mobile phone, the most commonmeans of internet access there. This digital divide is increasing, and should it continue at the present pace, it is projected that over 75 percent of women and girls will lack internet access and digital skills.There are many causes of the digital gender gap. They include girls’ exclusion (排斥) from basic education, from specific technology education and high costs of mobile phones and internet access.Indeed, one of the so-called reasons why girls may be discouraged from learning how to access and use digital technology is also a groundless one: that girls are simply not good at using technology.Without the help of the government, most of the benefits of technological change will be enjoyed only by men, exacerbating gender inequality.28. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Women suffer a lot from the poor economy.B. Digital technology is greatly beneficial to men.C. The digital gender gap needs to be closed.D. Girls are lacking in basic education.29. How is Paragraph 2 organized?A. By giving reasons.B. By giving numbers.C. By following time order.D. By giving examples.30. What is the writer’s attitude to the idea that girls are simply not good at using technology?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Acceptable.D. Unconcerned.31. What does the underlined word “exacerbating” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. worseningB. causingC. reducingD. improvingDChildren make quicker decisions to eat “tasty”food and reward centres in their brains light up after watching food commercials on television, compared to non-food commercials, a small study finds.The researchers studied 23 children aged 8 to 14 who gave taste and health ratings for 60 fooditems. Afterwards, kids chose whether to “eat”or “not eat” each food item without actually eating them while experiencing brain scans. The scans measure changes in blood flow within the brain, which is thought to reflect the activity of brain cells.While the kids were making their decisions, they were periodically shown TV commercials, some for fast food and some for non-food businesses. Each set of commercials was followed by a set of 10 food choices.In general, kids did not choose foods based on their health ratings and chose based on taste. But after watching a food commercial, taste seemed even more important to them and they made their choices faster. The reward centers in the brain were more active during food decisions after watching food commercials than after non-food commercials.“What we know from studies is that food marketing has huge effects on our liking of the product being advertised,” said Emma Boyland of the University of Liverpool. “Parents should be aware of these results so that they can put limits on screen time that involves food advertising,” Boyland said. “They should also discuss with children the importance of thinking about comme rcials properly.” “As adults, we have to teach children that a real healthy diet contains very little of the food they see advertised,” Boyland said.32. What were the children asked to do in the research?A. Select their favourite commercials.B. Decide whether to eat or not to eat.C. Observe the activity of brain cells.D. List health ratings for some foods.33. What happened to the children after watching food commercials?A. They confused taste ratings with health ratings of the foods.B. They made food choices based on health ratings.C. The reward centres in their brains acted actively.D. They had a good command of the methods to choose foods.34. What can we infer from Boyland’s words?A. Food marketing should be strictly controlled.B. We should do something to stop food advertising.C. Parents should forbid children to watch food commercials.D. Children should be taught to treat advertised foods properly.35. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Children make decisions quickly when watching commercials.B. Children’s bad eating habits are mainly caused by food commercials.C. Parents are concerned about the effect of food advertisements on kids.D. Food advertisements affect children’s eating habits greatly.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

得夺市安庆阳光实验学校第三十三中高二年级英语周考试卷（2015.3.28）一、阅读 IIn 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years.Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.Today the “Fringe”, once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.1. What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?A. To bring Europe together again.B. To honor heroes of World War 11.C. To introduce young theatre groups.D. To attract great artists from Europe.2. Who joined the "Fringe" after it appeared?A. Popular writersB. University students.C. Artists from around the world.D. Performers of music and dance.3. We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival.A. has become a non-official eventB. has gone beyond an art festivalC. gives shows all year roundD. keeps growing rapidlyIIGiven that many people's moods (情绪)are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate, it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinesemedicine. Looking like a setting from the film Charlie &t he Chocolate Factory, Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100 varieties of chocolates. Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents' comer store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.If the CRF seems to be a smart idea, that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony. That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored(味道)chocolates.The CRF's produce is "green", made within the country and divided into 10 lines, with the Alcohol Series being the most popular. The Exotic Series一with Sichuan pepper, red bean (豆).cheese and other flavors 一also does well and is fun to taste. And for chocolate snobs，who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others, the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo, Cuba, Venezuela , and Ghana, among others.4. What is good about chocolate?A. It serves as a suitable gift.B. It works as an effective medicine.C. It helps improve the state of mind.D. It strengthens business relations.5. Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF?A. He knows the importance of research.B. He learns form shops of similar types.C. He has the support of many big namesD. He has a lot of marketing experience.6. Which line of the CRF produce sells best?A. The Connoisseur Series.B. The Exotic Series.C. The Alcohol Series.D. The Sichuan Series.7. The words "chocolate snobs" in Paragraph 3 probably refer to people whoA. are particular about chocolateB. know little about cocoa beansC. look down upon othersD. like to try new flavors二、七选五Public Speaking Training·Get a coach8 ，so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.·Focus on positivesAny training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. 9 , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.10If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about. 11 . As far as we're concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.·You are a special person not a cloneMost importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 12 . Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.A. You aren't like anybody elseB. You already do lots of things wellC. Turn your back on too many rulesD. Check the rules about dos and don'tsE. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is toughF .The one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleepG. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse三、完形填空Around twenty years ago I was living in York． 13 I had a lot of experience and a Master's degree, I could not find 14 work.I was 15 a school bus to make ends meet and 16 with a friend of mine, for I had lost my flat．I had 17 five interviews (面试) with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not 18 the job．“Why has my life become so 19 ?” I thought painfully.As I pulled the bus over to 20 a little girl, she handed me an earning 21 I should keep it 22 somebody claimed (认领) it．The earring was painted black and said “BE HAPPY”.At first I got angry．Then it 23 me – I had been giving all of my 24 to what was going wrong with my 25 rather than what was right!

Water is importance ．We, as well as animal, cannot live without water and neither agriculture or industry can go without it ．Yet it seemed water is becoming less and less. Many countries in the world find we don't have enough water. To deal with a problem, I think, we should first go all out to plant trees though trees will help save water ．Next, no drinking water should be left running ．Third, we should find ways to reuse the water using in washing, especially bath water for which is quite a lot, and that will save much water.Sincerely, 2015.3.28 周考答案1-3： ABD 4-7：CDCA 8-12: EBCGA 13-17: BCADB 18-22: DABCA23-27: BBDAD 28-32: CACCD33．puzzlement 34. happily 35. punishment 36.

The Disney Company sells the Hannah Montans television show, music, film and merchandise(商品) to teenagers and their parents. You can get everything from branded lunchboxes and mobile phone covers, to monthly fan magazines and clothing. The High School Musical series of films is also intended for a teenage audience. So, it’s all about sales, which tells us teenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than they’ve ever had before.UK teenagers never used to be worried about spending money on clothes and fashion accessories(附加物). That’s changed. Now, they are much more fashion conscious and concerned about their image. In a world of television programmes that promise overnight success and fame at a young age (for example, the shows Britain’s Got Talent and American Idol), some people think it’s extremely important to look fashionable.So what does teenage fashion look like? Well, it’s quite horrible really, but then I’m a bit too old to appreciate it, I suppose. It’s lots of brightly coloured materials, particularly pink, and usually plain, not patterned. There are plenty of bows, necklaces and bracelets(手镯), too. It’s all very cute(可爱的), if that’s your taste.Surely none of the above is a good thing, is it? Can it really be healthy for us to encourage kids to be like adults at such a young age? Are we stealing childhoods in return for a bit of profit?Well, the UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from explicitly(明确地) marketing their products and services at children.Even the rest of UK society is concerned. Now that people are aware of the problem, there is a popular backlash(强烈反应) against the exploitation(利用) of children by commercial marketing.38．It can be inferred from the passage that the teenagers nowadays .A．often ask their parents to buy things for themB．always have more than enough money on their clothesC．can’t enjoy their childhood though they are rich in materialD．are satisfied with their material life and worry about nothing39．The author of the passage .A．supports teenage fashion quite a lotB．is fond of brightly colored materials that are to his tasteC．thinks it illegal to make profits by selling things to kidsD．is strongly against marketing products and services at children40．The passage is mainly about .A．British teenagers who are interested in fashionsB．UK companies targeting products at childrenC．a social problem concerning teenagers in the UKD．products that aim at young people in EnglandThe term “Industry 4.0” refers to the fourth industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution was the production of goods with machines like steam engines, which was followed by the second industrial revolution that introduced mass production with the help of electric power, followed by the digital revolution —the use of electronics and IT in production.Industry 4.0 is a high-tech project, which promotes the computerization of manufacturing (制造业). The basic principle of Industry 4.0 is that by connecting machines, work pieces and systems, we are creating intelligent networks along the entire value chain that can control each other automatically. The goal is the Smart Factory, which adapts well and uses resources efficiently as well as linking customers and business partners with great intelligence. Technological bases are the Internet systems and advanced factories. Experts believe that Industry 4.0 could be a reality in about 10 to 20 years.So, what effects does this change have on the classic manufacturing? According to an expert, “it i s highly likely that the world of production will become more and more networked until everything is connected with everything else.” Networks and processes have so far been limited to one factory. But in the time of Industry 4.0, the boundaries (界限) of individual factories will most likely no longer exist. Instead, they will be lifted in order to inter-connect multiple factories or even geographical regions.How is an Industry 4.0 factory different from a today’s factory? In current industry environment, providing high-end quality service or product with the least cost is the key to success. Factories are trying to increase their profit as much as possible. In the time of Industry 4.0, various data sources are available to provide worthwhile information about different aspects of the factory. Using data for understanding the current condition and checking faults and failures is a natural thing. The sharing of information around the clock and around the globe will enable these connected systems to manage themselves independently, work more efficiently and identify any errors quickly.The good news is that Europe is much better prepared for the Industry 4.0 revolution than one might think. Europe will position itself as a pioneer in the fourth revolution. Industry 4.0 is a project in the high-tech strategy of the German government. Meanwhile, in the U.S., some companies are also working hard on it. But the success of industry depends on whether business and politics can work together. It’s not only politics that needs to help open the door for Industry 4.0. Every company is advised to seize the new digital opportunities. 41．What marks the coming of Industry 4.0?A．Steam engines. B．Mass production.C．Intelligent networks. D．Use of electronics.42．Industry 4.0 will probably result in ________ in the world of manufacturing. A．everything connected with everything elseB．production limited to an individual factoryC．networks and processes no longer existingD．classic factories stopping their competition43．What’s the meaning of the underlined part in Para. 4?A．Sharing information of the world time.B．Global news broadcast at any time.C．Spreading news widely on the hour.D．Instant worldwide information exchange44．The writer’s attitude toward Industry 4.0 can best be d escribed as ________. A．negative B．supportiveC．doubtful D．cautiousWhen one loves one’s Art, no service seems too hard.Joe was a man with a genius(天才) for art. Delia did things in six octaves(音阶) promisingly.Joe and Delia became in love with one of the other, or each of the other, as you please, and in a short time were married –for (see above), when one loves one’s Art no service seems too hard.They began housekeeping in a flat. It was a lonesome(无人迹的) flat, but they were happy; for they had their Art, and they had each other.Joe was learning painting in the class of the great Magister – you know his fame. His fees are high; his lessons are light – his high-lights have brought him fame. Delia was studying under Rosenstock – you know his reputation as a disturber of the piano keys.They were mighty(非常地) happy as long as their money lasted.After a while, Art flagged(减退). Everything going out and nothing coming in, money was lacking to pay Mr. Magister and Rosenstock their prices. When one loves o ne’s Art, no service seems too hard. So, Delia said she must give music lessons to make the ends meet.For two or three days she went out looking for pupils. One evening she came home overjoyed.“Joe, dear,” she said, cheerfully, “I’ve a pupil. And, oh, th e loveliest people! General –General Pinkney’s daughter Clementina – on Seventy-first street.”“That’s all right for you, Dele,” said Joe, “but how about me? Do you think I’m going to let you work while I play in the regions of high art? ”Delia came and hung about his neck.“Joe, dear, you are silly. You must keep on at your studies. It is not as if I had quit my music and gone to work at something else. While I teach I learn. I am always with my music.”“All right,” said Joe. “But I may sell some of my pictures as well.”The next few weeks, they both busied themselves with their own business and brought back a ten, a five, a two and a one – all legal tender notes –and laid them beside each others’earnings.One Saturday evening Joe reached home first. He spread his $18 on the table and washed what seemed to be a great deal of dark paint from his hands.Half an hour later Delia arrived, her right hand tied up in a shapeless bundle(束) of wraps and bandages(绷带).“How is this?” asked Joe. Delia laughed, but not very joyously. “Clementina,” she explained, “insisted upon a Welsh rabbit(一种奶酪) after her lesson. In serving the rabbit she spilled a great lot of it, boiling hot, over my wrist. Nothing serious, dear.”“What time this afternoon did you burn your hand,Dele?”“Five o’clock, I think,” said Dele. “The iron – I mean the rabbit came off the fire about that time.”“Sit down here a moment, Dele,” said Joe. “What have you been doing for the last few weeks, Dele?” he asked.She braved it for a moment or two with an eye full of love and stubbornness, but at last down went her head and out came the truth and tears.“I couldn’t get any pupils,” she wept. “I got a place ironing shirts in that bigTwenty-fourth street laundry(洗衣店). A girl in the laundry set down a hot iron(熨斗) on my hand this afternoon. I think I did very well to make up both General Pinkney and Clementina. What made you ever suspect that I wasn’t giving music lessons?”“I didn’t,” said Joe, “until tonight. And I wouldn’t have then, only I sent up thi s cotton waste and oil from the engine-room this afternoon for a girl upstairs who had her hand burned with a smoothing-iron. I’ve been firing the engine in that laundry for the last few weeks.”“And then you didn’t …” said DeliaAnd then they both looked at each other and laughed, and Joe began:“When one loves one’s Art no service seems …”But Delia stopped him with her hand on his lips. “No,” she said –“just ‘When one loves.’”45．What can we know about the couple from the story?A．They both became famous for their talents in art.B．They turned out to be working at the same laundry.46．What qualities of the couple’s are best conveyed in the story?A．intelligent and economical B．faithful and romanticC．considerate and giving D．hardworking and loyal[47．Which of the following does NOT give readers a clue(线索) that the couple were telling white lies?A．Delia said she must give music lessons to make the ends meet.B．Joe washed what seemed to be a great deal of dark paint from his hands.C．Delia’s right wri st was tied up in a shapeless bundle of wraps and bandages.D．“The iron –I mean the rabbit came off the fire about that time” said Dele.48．Why does the author repeat “When one loves one’s Art no service seems too hard.”? A．To reveal the theme of the story.B．To explain the author’s writing purpose.C．To indicate the sad mood of the story.D．To assist with the development of the story.49．What can serve as the best title of this story?A．A Service of Love B．A Service of ArtC．No Art No Love D．The Love for Art四、阅读表达A conflict at work is common. If you can avoid conflict, it means you will win what you want regardless of what the other person wants. Since the potential issue has not been removed, it will simply reappear later. Here are the necessary steps to effectively get rid of conflicts at work.★Be aware of the fact that some conflicts are unavoidable at work. On numerous occasions, conflict and disagreement are likely to happen. But when a conflict happens it's not the end of the world. On the contrary, it can be the beginning of an interesting learning process. Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly. The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever. ★Deal with conflicts sooner rather than later. Solve a conflict when it starts, as it only gets worse with time going by. Conflicts at work arise not from something that was said, but from something that wasn't said! Everyone's waiting for the other to admit he's wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while. It's essential to interrupt the "waiting game" before it gets to that point.★ Ask nicely. If somebody has done something that made you angry, or if you don't understand their viewpoint or actions, simply asking nicely about it can make a world of difference. Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you. Sometimes there's a good reason why that person does what he or she does, and a potential conflict disappear right there. Do remember to make an inquiry, not an accusation of any sort.★ Appreciate. Praise the other part in the conflict. Tell them why it's worth it to you to solve the conflict. This can be difficult as few people find it easy to praise and appreciate a person they disagree strongly with, but it's a great way to move forward.五、单词拼写60．Widely a________ as the best person to take charge of the company, Jeff must live up to his promise.61．The little girl was disappointed to see her essay returned with a mass of c_______ in red ink.62．Tina, do you have all the r__________ documents ready?

A great leak was filling the ship with water. No matter how hard the sailors and passengers worked at the pumps, the water was still rising. The ship was sinking fast. There seemed to be no hope. But the captain told them not to give up hope. He said that there was hope so long as the ship remained above water. He promised that if they didn’t give up hope, he would land them s afely. The captain’s powerful will moved them all. In the end he did land them safely.After they landed, John found the captain to show his appreciation. But to his surprise, the captain said to him that he was the boy of 30 years ago who bought a geography book in his bookstore. John suddenly thought of the boy. At that time the boy didn’t have enough money, but he had gone from shop to shop and believed he could get what he wanted. Finally, he made it. Now, it was the same willpower of him that saved the lives of all the passengers.（写作内容）在一次课外阅读中，你读上面的故事，决定写篇文章针对“毅力与成功”发表自己的看法。
