高三周末测试英语试卷姓名_______ 班级_________考号______一、完形填空(共20小题,每题2分,共40分)Everything about my future was ambiguously assumed. I would get into debt by going to college, and then I would be __41__ to get a job to pay off that debt, while still getting into more and more debt by __42__ a house and a car. It seemed like a never-ending __43__ that had no place for the possibility of a dream.I want more—but not __44__ in the material sense of personal __45__ and success. I want more out of life. I want a passion as well as a dream that wouldn't let me sleep out of pure excitement. I want to spring out of bed in the morning, rain or __46__,and have that enthusiasm for life that seemed so intrinsic(固有的) in the early childhood.We all have a dream. It might be clearly __47__ or just a vague idea, but most of us are so __48__ in the mud of insecurity and self-doubt that we just __49__ it as unrealistic or too difficult to pursue. We become so comfortable with the life that has been __50__ for us by our parents, teachers, traditions, and social standards that we feel that it's stupid and unsafe to __51__ losing it for the small hope of achieving something that is more satisfying.Taking a risk is __52__ a risk. We can, and will, fail, __53__ many, many, many times. But that is what makes it exciting for me. That __54__ can be viewed negatively, or it can __55__ us.Failing is what makes us grow, and it makes us stronger. The fear of __56__,though, is what makes us sad. So __57__ I couldn't see the future as clearly as before, I took the plunge(投入) in__58__ that in the depths of fear and failure I would come out feeling more __59__ than ever before.If you feel lost, just take a deep breath and realize that being lost can be a turning point of finding out __60__ you truly are, and what you truly want to do.1.A. pleased B. encouraged C. disappointed D. forced2.A. selling B. purchasing C. constructing D. repairing3.A. dream B. story C. cycle D. dilemma4.A. necessarily B. possibly C. desperately D. nearly5.A. expense B. wealth C. addiction D. appetite6.A. cloud B. shower C. thunder D. shine7.A. described B. abandoned C. decided D. conducted8.A. engaged B. lacking C. stuck D. absorbed9.A. display B. dismiss C. deliver D. delay10.A. planned out B. put out C. made out D. carried out11.A. avoid B. imagine C. suggest D. risk12.A. even B. still C. rather D. only13.A. fortunately B. finally C. possibly D. hopefully14.A. uncertainty B. contradiction C. declaration D. prediction15.A. defeat B. confuse C. inspire D. discourage16.A. danger B. threat C. growth D. failure17.A. as though B. even though C. as long as D. as far as18.A. hopes B. cases C. ways D. terms19.A. sympathetic B. alive C. confused D. nervous20.A. as B. whether C. how D. who二、七选五(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。

It is the seed of a cactus (仙人掌) plant. The seed lies on the ground. It lies there for one year. It is waiting. The cactus seed must wait for rain. But not just any rain. It waits for a heavy rain. It needs a heavy rain so it can grow.One day, a heavy rain falls. It makes the seed sprout. The small seed then sends out tiny roots. The roots go down into the earth. A new cactus begins to grow. The growing cactus needs food. Its food is in the seed. The seed feeds the cactus as it grows.The cactus sends out more roots. They go deeper into the earth. There they reach water. Other roots are not so deep. They take water from light rains. Soon the food in the seed is gone. The new cactus must now make its own food. The cactus takes in light from the sun. It takes in air and water. The cactus turns these into food.For two or more years the cactus grows. Then it is ready to flower. The cactus produces a bud (花蕾). The bud is the start of a flower. The bud has hairs on it. The hairs help keep animals away.Then one day, there is a flower. But it will not stay for long. The cactus needs to save its food and water. So it keeps its flower only a few days. Then seeds fall from the flower. They fall to the ground. Here they lie for a year. They lie and wait for rain. One day, they will grow into a new cactus.1. Why does the seed of a cactus lie on the ground?A. To wait for a heavy rain to grow.B. To avoid being hurt by animals.C. To wait for a strong wind to send it far away.D. To continue its growth after falling from the cactus.2. The growing cactus gets its food from ______.A. the windB. the seedC. the heavy rainD. the dry earth3. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. The roots of the cactus can’t go deep into the earth.B. The cactus can make water from the air.C. The cactus stops growing when its food is used up.D. The cactus can create food with light, water and air.4. The hairs on the bud of the cactus are used for ______.A. taking in more airB. absorbing more waterC. not being eaten by animalsD. not getting burnt by light5. From the article we can make the conclusion that ______.A. there is a heavy rain every year in the desertB. a cactus will die when it starts to flowerC. animals show little interest in eating buds of cactusesD. seeds of cactuses still keep alive in the dry weatherBLeatherback Turtles are found in most warm seas, often migrating fromone continent to another. They are the largest of all turtles, sometimes weighing more than 1,500 pounds. Unlike other turtles, their ribs and backbones are not joined to the shell. These turtles have huge strong front flippers which can propel them in the water at high speeds. Leatherback Turtles have a very unique way of laying their eggs. From August to September, female turtles travel vast distances just to lay their eggs on the exact spot where they had laid their eggs previously. As soon as they reach the shore, they will not rest until they have arrived at their nesting grounds. By using their giant flippers, they dig a deep hole in the sand. In this hole, they will lay about 100 to 200 soft rubbery eggs . Once they are finished, the turtles will cover up the hole with sand and return to the sea, only coming next year to the same spot to dig another hole to lay eggs.The heat of the sun will warm the eggs and after a period of time, the hatchlings will climb out of the sand and crawl towards the sea. Even though many turtles are hatched, many do not survive the first few weeks of their lives. There are many animals such as seagulls who prey on the young turtles. The baby turtle’s hard shell has not yet f ormed and has no hardened defense against the attackers. Some turtles are caught in fishermen’s nets and left out to die. Other turtles are caught between the wastes man produced such as plastic bags and eventually die of suffocation (窒息). To make matters worse, Leatherback Turtles are hunted for their ornamental shell and their eggs are considered delicacies. Illegal gathering for eggs to be sold in markets also helps in the decline of these turtles.6. Leatherback Turtles are different from other turtles because ______.A. they are large in sizeB. their ribs and backbones are not joined togetherC. their ribs and backbones are not joined to the shellD. they have front flippers7. When Leatherback Turtles reach the shore, they will ______.A. take a rest before laying eggsB. find their old hole to lay eggsC. lay eggs immediatelyD. find their nesting grounds first8. Which of the following is NOT a threat to Leatherback Turtles?A. Seagulls.B. Hunting.C. Waste.D. Weather.9.We learn from the last paragraph that Leatherback Turtles ______.A. are well protected nowB. need urgent protectionC. are allowed to be hunted by lawD. still exist in large numbers10. The underlined word “hatchlings”in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.A. newly laid eggsB. newly born turtlesC. mother turtlesD. big turtlesCLearning to play a musical instrument can change your brain. A US review has found that musical training can improve speech and foreign language skills.Although it was suggested in the past that listening to Mozart’s music or other classical music make you smarter, there has been little evidence to show that music can boost brain power.But a data-driven review by Northwestern University has pulled research together that links between musical training and learning can affect skills including language, speech, memory, attention and even vocal emotion.Researcher Nina Kraus said the data strongly suggested that the neural (神经中枢的) connections made during musical training also prepared the brain for other aspects of human communication.“The effect of musical training suggests that music is a resource that tones (增强) the brain for auditory (听觉的) fitness and thus requires society to re-examine the role of music in encouraging individual development.” the researchers said in their study.Kraus said learning musical sounds could improve the brain’s ability to adapt and change and also enable the nervous system to provide constructive patterns that are important to learning.The study, published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience, showed the improvement of research in recent years focusing on the effect of musical training on the nervous system which could have strong impact on education.The study found that playing an instrument prepares the brain to choose what is related in the complex process that may involve reading or remembering a score, timing issues and coordination (协调) with other musicians.“A musician’s brain selectively enhances information-bearing elements in sound,”Kraus said in a statement. The study also reviewed literature showing, for example, that musicians are more successful thannon-musicians in learning to connect sound patterns for a new language with words.11. The passage is mainly about ______.A. researches on musical instrumentsB. the study of musicC. the effect of classical musicD. the benefit of musical training12. According to the researcher Kraus, musical training contributes to the following EXCEPT ______.A. body fitnessB. the brain’s ability to adapt and changeC. mental concentrationD. the ability to communicate13. It was believed but hasn’t been proved that listening to classical music could ______.A. boost your intelligenceB. improve your speech abilitiesC. develop the ability to learn languages wellD. make you feel happy14. According to the study, musicians are better at learning a foreign language because ______.A. they are better at remembering a scoreB. they are more sensitive to changesC. they are better at connecting sounds with words in a foreign languageD. they can cooperate better with others15. Which field might the study have a great effect on?A. ArtsB. EducationC. MusicD. MedicineDAccording to a recent stud y, only about one out of four high school’s yearbooks still feature the classic “Most Likely to Succeed” award. The reason is that we’re afraid to give a kid a label that will haunt them for the rest of their life, always pushing them to be a success and m aking them feel like a failure if they’re not VIPs.A survey by the website also found that about one out of three people who were named “Most Likely to Succeed” in high school say it was a “curse (祸害)” .Two in five say it was an “inspiration”. Blake Atwood is one of the people who said it was a curse. He was voted “Most Likely to Succeed” by his classmates in 1998, and he works as a copywriter for a law firm now.I feel sorry for this guy. Not because he’s not successful, but because he doesn’t realize he is. A synonym (同义词) for success is accomplishment. He’s a tax-paying, society-contributing member of the human race. He gets up every morning with a roof over his head, food on his table and a family that loves him. What else does he need?Did he reach every goal he had for his life? Probably not, but not all goals are achieved. The secret of goals is that the victory is sometimes not in the attainment (达到)of them, but in the struggle and journey to achieve them along the way. What did you learn? Who did you meet? What impact did you make on them ?My goal was to play college basketball. Due to many reasons, it was not to be. However, the quest for that goal led me to a college where I started doing this. I never played a minute of college ball, but does that make me any less successful? I don’t think so.One of my favorite quotes comes from the coach, John Wooden. It goes something like this: “Success is the state of mind derived from the satisfaction of knowing you did your best to become the very best you were capable of becoming.” My wish for Blake Atwood and for you is not the achievement of others’view of “success” , but the achievement of yours.16. According to the passage, “Most Likely to Succeed” award ______.A. caused a dispute among the studentsB. was thought highly of by all the studentsC. was ordered to stopD. was a way to inspire the students to succeed17. We can learn from the passage that Blake Atwood ______.A. has achieved none of his goals in lifeB. is a negative example of this awardC. hasn’t realized the meaning of successD. hasn’t succeeded in his career as a copywriter18. The author thinks that the secret of goals lies in ______.A. the attainment of themB. the process to achieve themC. the impact made by themD. the ways of setting them19. The author lists John Wooden’s quote in the passage in order to ______.A. explain the procedures for successB. prove that Blake Atwood is wrongC. show his understanding of successD. provide some advice for the readers20. What is the best title of this passage?A. “Most Likely to Succeed” AwardB. Different Attitudes towards SuccessC. My Great Pity for Blake AtwoodD.

AOne day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical(相同的)to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.1..

It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines(学科). Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole, Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear an d, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Socia l Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s attempt to translate his tale into science.8.The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to__________.A. illustrate where science can be appliedB. demonstrate the value of Brooks’s new bookC. remind the reader of the importance of scienceD. explain why many writers use science in their works9.According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?A. Its strong basis.B. Its convincing points.C. Its clear writing.D. Its memorable characters.10.What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?A. Contradictory.B. Supportive. C . Cautious. D. Critical.11.What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?A. Problems with the book.B. Brooks’s life experience.C. Death of the characters.D. Brooks’s translation skills.DI left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I get a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start-there’s a dark period in between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.”My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.Then I met an agent who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After two and a half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal-that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there's no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract of the publisher—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding.12. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A.I was waiting for good fortune.B.I was trying to find an admirable job.C.I was being aimless about a suitable job.D.I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.13. The author decided to write a novel________.A.to finish the writing courseB.to realize her own dreamC.to satisfy readers’ wishD.to earn more money14.

The purpose of this unusual move is, according to the city council, to discourage night gathering in downtown areas.The law inevitably has given rise to a number of protests, accusing that the government has ___43___ people’s normal lives. However, if you take into consideration the country’s ___44___ economy and its high unemployment rate, the local government’s fear of ‘night assembling’may be reasonable.In fact, Milan’s law is only the strangest of a host of restrictions on nightlife that have ___45___ up in European cities recently.

Reading prehension(47%)Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Many of us have characteristics that are inherited from our families. Maybewe have our father’s eyes or our grandmother’s hair color – __51__ features that result from the genes we inherit. But there are other elements of our personalities such as behaviors and viewpoints that we pick up by __52__ our parents. Perhaps we have picked up our mother’s love of cleaning or our dad’s sense of humor. Now, researchers at the University of Michigan believe there may be a specific viewpoint we can thank our parents for: the way we __53__ work.The researchers referred to previous studies that identified three main ways of viewing work.First, there are job-oriented (以求职为目的的)people, those who __54__ to see their job as simply a way to make money. They __55__ to clocking out(打卡下班)every day and pursuing fun activities __56__ the office. If you have a job-oriented father, you may view work this way. __57__, if you grew up close to your mother you probably will not hold this viewpoint. One possible __58__ cited by the study: Youngsters that grow up close to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job.Second, there are career-oriented(追求事业型的)people who see their job as a place to find __59__ and gain a sense of __60__. These are the people who don’t __61__ working overtime. In fact, some people love their jobs so much that they bee workaholics! They are more fortable in the office than at home. According tothe study, being close to a career- oriented father while growing up means there’s a good chance you’ll share his perspective. Oddly, having a mother with this viewpoint seems to have little __62__.Third, there are calling-oriented workers – folks who view their job as a way to make a (n) __63__ impact upon the world. They are more __64__ with improving the world around them than earning a large salary. In the study, those who expressed a strong calling (天职)orientation came from homes where both parents were calling-oriented. This suggests that adolescents need the support of both parents in order to have the confidence to put __65__ first and career success second.The good news is –we still have choice. Whether we share our parents’views of work or not, we can still find a career that suits us.51. A. medical B. physical C. biological D. mental52. A. stimulating B. neglecting C. implying D. modeling53. A. view B. think C. evaluate D. ment54. A. attempt B. manage C. tend D. offer55.

They are eating pizza, chicken wings and chips and cheering every move. They’re watching the Super Bowl.Why are Americans so crazy about American football? Well, it is more exciting than other sports. One team can lose possession of the ball in a minute, which may allow their opponents to make a touchdown(触地得分). Then that team may win the game unexpectedly.The Super Bowl also entertains its audience with a great halftime show. The football field is turned into a stage. Then an impressive performance of dancing and singing with special effects occurs.Since the Super Bowl is the most-watched TV program in America, mercial airtime is also very expensive. Big money is also spent on mercials. They draw the viewers’attention and advertise their image or products during the mercial break.After football season, the “March Madness”begins. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) petitions begin with 68 men’s collegebasketball teams. They play until the field is reduced to the “Final Four”.

The best players from all the teams play in this game.Baseball is no doubt American’s national sport. From grandpas to young kids, whole families go to ball games together. They wear their favorite team’s caps or even carry their mascot(吉祥物). Our family went to watch Wang Chien-Ming play in D.C. once. We ate hot dogs, waved flags and sang during the 7th inning(棒球的一局) stretch.If you are not a sports fan yet, e and pick a sport or a team. Go to a ball game with your family, and cheer your team on.

With all this ing and going, you’d expect greater understanding to develop between the nations of the world. Not a bit of it! Superb systems of munication by air, sea and land make it possible for us to visit each other ’s countries at a moderate cost. What was once the ‘grand tour ’, reserved for only the very rich, is now within everybody ’s grasp? The package tour and chartered flights are not to be sneered at. Modern travelers enjoy a level of fort which the lords and ladies on grand tours in the old days couldn’t have dreamed of. But what ’s the sense of this mass exchange of populations if the nations of the world remain basically ignorant of each other? Many tourist organizations are directly responsible for this state of affairs. They deliberately set out to protect their clients from too much contact with the local population. The modern tourist leads a cosseted, sheltered life. He lives at international hotels, where he eats his international food and sips his international drink while he gazes at the natives from a distance. Conducted tours to places of interest are carefully censored. The tourist is allowed to see only what the organizers want him to see and no more. A strict schedule makes itimpossible for the tourist to wander off on his own; and anyway, language is always a barrier, so he is only too happy to be protected in this way. At its very worst, this leads to a new and hideous kind of colonization. The summer quarters of the inhabitants of the cite universitaire: are temporarily reestablished on the island of Corfu. Blackpool is recreated at Torremolinos where the traveler goes not to eat paella, but fish and chips.The sad thing about this situation is that it leads to the persistence of national stereotypes. We don’t see the people of other nations as they really are, but as we have been brought up to believe they are. You can test this for yourself. Take five nationalities, say, French, German, English, American and Italian. Now in your mind, match them with these five adjectives: musical, amorous, cold, pedantic, native. Far from providing us with any insight into the national characteristics of the peoples just mentioned, these adjectives actually act as barriers. So when you set out on your travels, the only characteristics you notice are those which confirm your preconceptions. You e away with the highly unoriginal and inaccurate impression that, say, ‘Anglo-Saxons are hypocrites’ of that ‘Latin peoples shout a lot ’. You only have to make a few foreign friends to understand how absurd and harmful national stereotypes are. But how can you make foreign friends when the tourist trade does its best to prevent you?Carried to an extreme, stereotypes can be positively dangerous. Wild generalizations stir up racial hatred and blind us to the basic fact—how triteit sounds! – That all people are human. We are all similar to each other and atthe same time all unique.74.The passage mainly wants to tell us________A.tourism contributes nothing to increasing understanding between nations.B.Tourism is tiresome.C.Conducted tour is dull.D. tourism really does something to one’s country.75.What is the author's attitude toward tourism?A.apprehensive.B.negative.C.critical.D. appreciative.76.The word”cosseted” (para 2 line 3) probably means_____A.over-protectedB.variedC.limitedD.luxurious77.What is ‘grand tour’ now?A. moderate cost.B. local sight-seeing is investigated by the tourist organization.C.people enjoy the first-rate forts.D.everybody can enjoy the ‘grand tour’.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.Yes, but what did we use to do before there was television? How often we hear statements like this! Television hasn’t been with us all that long, but we are already beginning to forget what the world was like without it. Before we admitted the one-eyed monster into our homes, we never fond it difficult to occupy our spare time. We used to enjoy civilized pleasures. For instance, we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain our friends and be entertained by them, we used to go outside for our amusements to theatres, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events. We even used to read books and listen to music and broadcast talks occasionally. All that belongs to the past. Now all our free time is regulated by the goggle box. We rush home or gulp down our meals to be in time for this or that programme. We have even given up sitting at table and having a leisurely evening meal, exchanging the news of the day. A sandwich and a glass of beer will do – anything, providing it doesn’t interfere with the programme. The monster demands and obtains absolute silence and attention. If any member of the family dares to open his mouth during aprogramme, he is quickly silenced.Whole generations are growing up addicted to the telly. Food is left uneaten, homework undone and sleep is lost. The telly is a universal pacifier. It is now standard practice for mother to keep the children quiet by putting them in the living-room and turning on the set. It doesn’t matter that the children will watch rubbishy mercials or spectacles of sadism and violence – so long as they are quiet.There is a limit to the amount of creative talent available in the world. Every day, television consumes vast quantities of creative work. That is why most of the programmes are so bad: it is impossible to keep pace with the demand and maintain high standards as well. When millions watch the same programmes, the whole world bees a village, and society is reduced to the conditions which obtain in preliterate munities. We bee utterly dependent on the two most primitive media of munication: pictures and the spoken word.Television encourages passive enjoyment. We bee content with second-hand experiences. It is so easy to sit in our armchairs watching others working. Little by little, television cuts us off from the real world. We get so lazy, we choose to spend a fine day in semi-darkness, glued to our sets, rather than go out into the world itself. Television may be s splendid medium of munication, but itprevents us from municating with each other. We only bee aware how totally irrelevant television is to real living when we spend a holiday by the sea or in the mountains, far away from civilization. In quiet, natural surroundings, we quickly discover how little we miss the hypnotic tyranny of King Telly.78.What does a mother usually do to keep her children quiet?_______________________________________________________________________ ___79.what’s the author’s suggestion to forget TV?_________________________________________80.&81Please smmerize at least two harms of TV80.__________________________________________________________________________ __81.__________________________________________________________________________ __第II卷I.

ATaj Mahal, Agra, IndiaAs many as 28 different varieties of precious stones were used to decorate the outside of the Taj Mahal. Construction took around 20 years. The building, which was made from white marble from the quarries(采石场) of Rajasthan, appears pink in the morning, white in the day and golden in the moonlight.Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, Akashi Strait, JapanIt took 10 years to construct the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. It connects the city of Kobe, on Japan’s mainland, with Iwaya on Awaji Island. Before it opened, the only way to get between the two cities was by ferry. However, the waterway was at the mercy of severe storms and when two ferries overturned in 1955, killing 168 people, public anger convinced the government of the need for a bridge. It's the longest suspension bridge in the world, with a length of 1,991 meters. Panama Canal, PanamaMore than 4. 5 million cubic yards of concrete were used in the construction of this canal’s locks and dams. The Panama Canal is a 47-mile long waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The earth and rubble dug to make way for it was enough to bury Manhattan to a depth of four meters. A series of locks allows ships to pass through the water. Each lock door weighs 750tons and each lock fills with 52 million gallons of water to accommodate the 15,000 ships that use the canal every year.Grand Canyon Skywalk, ArizonaThe Skywalk’s foundation is strong enough to support 71 million pounds , Located 1,219 meters above the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon's Sky Walk consists of one million pounds of steel and 83,000 pounds of glass.

A"Humans should not try to avoid stress any more just as they would not shun food, love or exercise." said Dr. Hans Selye, the first physician to record the effects of stress on the body. While here's one question that continuous stress is harmful, several studies suggest that challenging unexpected and difficult situations can be good for you.In a 2001 study of 158 hospital nurses, those who faced considerable work demands but dealt with the challenge were more likely to say they were in good health. In a study at the Academic Center for Dentistry in Amsterdam, researchers put volunteers through two stressful experiences. In the first, a timed task that required memorizing a list followed by a short test, subjects believed they had control over the outcome. In the second, they weren’t in control: They had to sit through a gory (血淋淋的) video on surgical operations. Those who did well on the memory test had an increase in levels of immunoglobulin A, which is the body's first line of defense against germs (细菌).Stress makes the body produce certain stress hormones. In short bursts these hormones have a positive effect, including improved memory function. "They can help nerve cells deal with information and put it into storage," says Dr. Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University in New York. But in the long run these hormones can have a harmful effect on the body and brain."Continued stress is not good for you," says Dr. Bruce, "It's the occasional burst of stress that could be protective."41. The passage is mainly about ___________.A. how to avoid stressB. how to deal with stress effectivelyC. the benefits of manageable stressD. the effect of stress hormones on memory42. The underlined word "shun"(Line 1, Para. 1) most probably means _________.A. cut down onB. keep away fromC. run out ofD. put up with43. We can conclude from the study of the 158 nurses in 2001 that _________.A. people who can't get their job done experience more stressB. doing challenging work may be good for one's healthC. stress will weaken the body's defense against germsD. people under stress tend to have a poor memory44. Dr. Bruce believes that __________.A. a person's memory is determined by the level of hormones in his bodyB. a person's memory improves with continued experience of stressC. stress hormones have lasting positive effects on the brainD. short bursts of stress hormones increase memory functionBAccording to some talk, the younger generation in Smithville is the most anti-social in history. This seems far from the truth. Young people today as a whole are better, more informed, more ambitious, healthier, and more alert than ever before. Why then, it may be asked, do we witness srestlessness and such anti-social behavior among our young people?For the answer the citizens of this community must look at themselves. What have they done to improve the life of our youth? How many playgrounds have been built in the last fifteen years? How many swimming pools? How many vocational training projects have been started? How many community-organized youth parties and picnics have been held?The average citizen will answer that the responsibility for these activities belongs to the schools. But the schools cannot be held responsible for all the free-time activities of all the young people of this community. The job of the schools is formal education, not free-time entertainment.This community needs a youth center suitable for such activities as picnics, camping, sports, music, art, and theatricals. There could be social and entertaining activities to meet the needs and interests of every member of our school age youth.Mayor Elmo D. Greely has proposed the formation of a Youth Club as the first step in the direction of a Youth Center. Mayor Greely has called a meeting at the City Hall on Friday, August 15.45. What does the writer mean by saying the underlined sentence?A. He thinks it is true.B. He thinks it is not true.C. He thinks it is partly true.D. He thinks it is nonsense.46. The main idea of paragraphs 2 and 3 is_________.A. to give us lots of questions to show that the problem is seriousB. that schools should hold the responsibility for education rather than entertainmentC. to analyze the reasons why the youth are anti-socialD. that schools should take more activities or start many vocational training projects47. The solution to the problem of the youth’s anti-social behavior is _________.A. enriching the life of the youthB. taking part in picnics, campingC. attending a meeting held by MayorD. needing support from youth48. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Anti-social Problem.B. The Duty of Formal Education.C. The Boring Life of the Youth.D. A Youth Center is Needed.CSixteen-year-old Michael Viscardi of San Diego won first prize in the Siemens Westinghouse Competition in Math, Science and Technology. He showed solutions to a nineteenth century math problem.Michael has been schooled by his mother, who has a doctorate in neuroscience (神经科学).He also worked on his project with a professor at a university.Home-schoolers have won other honors including national competitions in geography and spelling.The National Center for Education Statistics did its latest research on home-schooling in 2003.Researchers found that more than one million American students learned at home. That was more than two percent of the school-age population.The report said the number of home-schooled students had increased. In 1999, about 850,000 students were considered home-schooled. This meant they were taught at home instead of at school for at least part of their education. The students' time spent in public or private schools could not be more than 25 hours a week. Michael Viscardi, for example, has been taught mostly at home, but with advanced math classes at a local university.The researchers asked parents why they home-schooled their children. 31 percent said the most important reason was concerned about the environment of the local schools. 30 percent said it was to provide religious instruction. 16 percent said they were not satisfied with the quality of the instruction in the local schools.The Associated Press recently reported about an increase in the number of black Americans home-schooling their children. An education expert said much of this increase was in cities with histories of racial problems. Also, some families were concerned that local schools were not teaching about African-American history and culture.Critics of home-schooling say children need to attend school to help them learn social skills. They also say that some home-schooled children do not get a very good education. Still, all fifty states and the District of Columbia permit home-schooling. But some require more parent preparation or student testing than other states do.49. What is the fact about the home-schoolers according to the passage?A. Home-schoolers are excellent and talented students.B. Only a small part of students are home-schooled in the U. S.C. Home-schoolers are taught at home only.D.
