[试卷总评]:2013年湖北英语试题总体难度较难。
没有偏题、怪题。
命题中,注意考查学生的英语素质,注意保证知识覆盖面,增加综合性和语境化的因素。
听力部分:语音纯正,语速一般,试题难度适中。
单项选择:10个,21-30主要以考查词性为主(包括名词,动词和形容词),同时同时也考查了两个动词短语和一个介词短语。
这一部分较难,特别是针对平时不认真去记忆和理解单词的部分考生来说,就更难了。
比如,这第21题,27题,四个选项的单词又是不常用的单词,做的时候就不容易正确。
完形填空:记叙文。
以拟人的方式,记叙了Zigfried这只老鼠看到搬了一家新人来,圣诞过十分满意,却不知自己成了别人的圣诞礼物的故事,故事情节清晰,逻辑性强,易于理解。
阅读理解五篇,总体难度适中,A 篇这是一篇说明文,介绍了作者的爱好就是记录下自己的经历,但作者后来感受到记录经历,不如享受现在。
四个题较易。
B篇是一篇记叙文,记叙了Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon Klass, 两母女作者的故事。
C篇是一篇议论文,讨论了我们到一个了怪圈,不是饥饿,而是生活好,让我们死去的风险更大。
D篇是一篇夹叙夹认的记叙文。
Mrs. Almond 通过网上技术,她自认为得了喉癌,而实际上是肺结核。
所以我们不能单一的依赖网络。
这四篇较易。
题也较易。
D篇是一篇议论文。
通过调查发现:随着年龄的增长,对生活的期望也就下降。
文章具有一定的阅读难度。
题也较难。
信息匹配题,能很好地考查文章信息匹配和词形变化。
完成句子这一部分,考查得较全面,是不可多得的一部分,能真正考查学生的知识与能力。
作文是一篇开放式作文,给出写作的事例和要求,要求考生要有相应的知识储备,这一部分对考生的要求较高。
总之,2013高考湖北英语试题能很好考查学生英语知识水平和英语素质的英语试题。

It’s like a flat board.On the board, eyes, nose, mouth, and ears are all in their places, but each of them possesses easily recognized characteristics. Take eyes, for example. When they’re open, what you can see are two very narrow lines. And nose?A little bit raised and shaped like a badminton bat. And his mouth is, well, let me say this way: each corner could reach the ear. As the saying goes, “Smile from ear to ear” or “Wear a big smile.” But our guy never smiles. Actually, he doesn’t know how to smile, not to say laugh. His full and very black moustache covers his upper lip. Whenever he wants to start a speech, he bites his lips for a while. During his talk, he clears his throat from time to time. Although he pretends to be gentle , he may make you feel very tense and worried.Before I invite him onto the stage, one thing I should warn you of: listen to his talk; don’t watch his face or his show.

Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.Unfortunately, television's influence has been extremely harmful to the young.Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world;that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable.All educators agree that the "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents.Also, the young are less ed to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures;to read a book that requires thinking;to listen to a teacher who doesn't do funny things like the people on children's programs. And they expect all problems to besolved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes.That's the time it takes on the screen.SSS_SINGLE_SEL21.In the past, many young people ( ).A knew the effects of warB went in for politicsC liked to save the wounded in warsD were willing to be soldiersSSS_SINGLE_SEL22.Now with TV people can ( ).A discuss politics at an information centerB show more interest ill politicsC make their own decisions on political affairsD express their opinions freelySSS_SINGLE_SEL23.The author thinks that TV advertisements ( ).A are not reliable on the wholeB are useless to peopleC are a good guide to adultsD are very harmful to the youngSSS_SINGLE_SEL24.Which is NOT true according to the passage?A People have become used to crimes nowB With a TV set some problems can be solved quicklyC People now like to read books with pictureD The adults are less violent than the youngSSS_SINGLE_SEL25.From the passage, we can conclude that ( ).A children should keep away from TVB TV programs should be improvedC children's books should have picturesD TV has a deep influence on the youngPassage 2Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Harriet Beecher Stowe had poured her heart into her anti-slavery book," Uncle Tom's Cabin". But neither she nor her first publisher thought it would be a big success, The publisher was so doubtful that he wanted her to split the publishing costs with him, and all she hoped was that it would make enough money for her to buya new silk dress.But whenthe first 5,000 copies were printed in 1852, they sold out in two days.In a year the book had sold 300,000 copies in the United States and 150,000 in England.For a while it outsold (销得比…多) every book in the world, except the Bible.Within six months of its release, a play was made from the book which ran 350 performances in New York and remained America's most popular play for 80 years.It might appear that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was univer sallypopular , but this was certainly not true.Many people during those pre-Civil War days--particularly defenders of the slavery system—condemned it as false propaganda and poorly written melodrama(传奇剧作品).Harriet did have strong religious views against slavery ( When asked how she came to write the book, she replied," God wrote it." ), an she tried to convince people slavery was wrong, so perhaps the book could be considered propaganda. But if so, it was true propaganda, because it accurately described the evils of slavery.Though she was born in Connecticut, 1832, as a young woman she moved to Cincinnati, Ohio,when her father accepted the presidency of newly founded Lane Theological Seminary (神学院). Ohio was a free state, but just across the Ohio River in Kentucky, Harriet saw slavery in action.She lived 18 years in Cincinnati, marrying Calvin Stowe, professor of a college.In 1851, Harriet Beecher Stowe began her book.Its vast influence strengthened the anti-slavery movementand angered defenders of the slave system.Today some historians(历史学家) think that it helped bring on the American Civil War.In fact, when Abraham Lincoln met Harriet at the White House during the Civil War, he said," So, this is the little lady who started this big war."SSS_SINGLE_SEL26.Before the publication of the book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" ( ).A Harriet knew that it would be a great successB the publisher wanted Harriet to publish it at her own expenseC nobody knew that it would become a very popular bookD no publisher wanted to publish this anti-slavery bookSSS_SINGLE_SEL27.Some people did not like "Uncle Tom's Cabin"chiefly because ( ).A the author was merely an unknown little ladyB they thought it was mere propagandaC the book was poorly writtenD the book might lead to a terrible warSSS_SINGLE_SEL28.Harriet Beecher Stowe was able to describe the evils of slavery because ().A she had lived for 18 years in a state where slavery was legalB she had suffered quite a lot under the slavery systemC she had witnessed what happened under theslavery systemD she had read a lot about the slavery systemSSS_SINGLE_SEL29.When Abraham Lincoln called Harriet "the little lady who started this big war", he ( ).A thought that she was almost a war criminalB was talking about the great influence her book had producedC was blaming her for the miseries the people had sufferedduring the warD was praising her for the contributions she had made during the warSSS_SINGLE_SEL30.The writer wrote the passage in order to ( ).A expose the evils of the slavery systemB condemn all kinds of warC describe people's life in Harriet's timeD tell us how Harriet wrote her famous bookPassage 3Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:England is not a big country: from north to south and from east to west it is only about three hundred miles across. But for a small country it has a surprising range of climate. People who have never visited England, or who have visited only one part of it, often make the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country, Except for the summer months of June to September, this is probably true of the north of England and the Midlands.In the south, however, the climate is much more pleasant.One result is that when people retire from a job in the north they often prefer to move down to the milder south.Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest, which consists of the counties of Devon and Cornwall.The warm Gulf Stream flows across the North Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico and makes the coastal regions of the southwest quite warm. Palm trees, bamboo (竹) and many semi-tropical(亚热带的) plants grow well in the southwest of England.Flowers and vegetables ripen(成熟) as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere.Farmers in the area obtain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are read earlier. In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of England but there will probably be no snow at all in the southwest. This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of England's most popular holiday areas.SSS_SINGLE_SEL31.The distance from the center of England to the south coast is about ( ).A one hundred milesB three hundred milesC one hundred and fifty milesD six hundred milesSSS_SINGLE_SEL32.England is a country ( ).A with a cold and wet climateB with a surprising climateC with a pleasant climateD with a variety of climatesSSS_SINGLE_SEL33.According to the passage, ( ).A flowers and vegetables fromDevon are on the market one month earlierB farmers in the southwest grow as many vegetables and flowers as farmers elsewhereC people in the southwest have to pay a higher price for vegetables and flowersD vegetables inCornwall ripen as much as a month earlier than flowersSSS_SINGLE_SEL34.In the north of England and the Midlands, ( ).A it is cold and wet all the year roundB the climate is pleasant as a wholeC it is warm most of the time in a yearD only the summer is not cold or wetSSS_SINGLE_SEL35.In winter, people in Devon and Cornwall ( ).A seldom see snowB never see any snowC may have several feet of snowD often see snowPassage 4Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:All the useful energy at the surface of the **es from the activity of the sun.The sun heats and feeds creatures and mankind.Each year it provides men with two hundred million tons of grain and nearly ten million tons of wood, coal, oil, natural gas, and all other fuels are stored energy from the sun.

Then translate the underlined sentences marked from 51-55 into Chinese. You should write your translation on the Answer Sheet.During the middle of the 19th century, 51. Germany, along with other European nations, suffered from workplace deaths and accidents as a result of growing industrialization. 52. Driven in part by Christian love for the helpless as well as a practical political impulse to undercut the support of the socialist labor movement, Chancellor Bismarck created the world's first workers' compensation law in 1884.By 1908, the United States was the only industrial nation in the world that lacked **pensation insurance. America's injured workers could sue for damages in a court of law, but they still faced a number of legal barriers. 53. For example, employees had to provethat their injuries directly resulted from employer negligence and that they themselves were ignorant about potential dangers in the workplace. The first state workers' compensation law in this country passed in 1911, and the program soon spread throughout the nation.After World War II , benefit payments to American workers did not keep up with the cost of living.In 1970, President Richard Nixon set up a **mission to study the problems of **pensation. Two years later, **mission issued 19 key recommendations, including one that called for **pensation benefit levels to 100 percent of the states' average weekly wages.In fact, the **pensation benefit in America has climbed from 55 percent of the states' average weekly wages in 1972 to 97 percent today. 54. But, as most studies show, every l0 percent increase in compensation benefits results in a 5 percent increase in the numbers of workers who file for claims. 55.And with so much more money floating in the workers' compensation system, it's not surprising that doctors and lawyers have helped themselves to get a large slice of the growing pie.SSS_TEXT_QUSTI51.Germany, along with other European nations, suffered from workplace deaths and accidents as a result of growing industrialization.SSS_TEXT_QUSTI52.Driven in part by Christian love for the helpless as well as a practical political impulse to undercut the support of the socialist labor movement, Chancellor Bismarck created the world's first workers' compensation law in 1884.SSS_TEXT_QUSTI53.For example, employees had to prove that their injuries directly resulted from employer negligence and that they themselves were ignorant about potential dangers in the workplace.SSS_TEXT_QUSTI54.But, as most studies show, every l0 percent increase in compensation benefits results in a 5 percent increase in the numbers of workers who file for claims.SSS_TEXT_QUSTI55.And with so much more money floating in the workers' compensation system, it's not surprising that doctors and lawyers have helped themselves to get a large slice of the growing pie.Part V Writing ( 30 points )56.Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic"Shopping Online" .You should write at least 120 words, and base **position on the outline givenin Chinese below:1.讨论网购的利与弊。

Grandfathers can fix anything,and grandmothers always have homemade biscuits around. When you are small,it's fun to stay with your grandparents because they always let you do things you can't do at home,and,of course,they buy you things.They are always able to babysit because they don't go out much and actually prefer to see their grandchildren.They are usually good for a small loan now and then doesn't need to be paid back because they turn it into a gift.You respectfully listen to their advice but don't thank them politely for what they do for you,and then don't call or visit them until you need something else.And,of course,you never tell them how dear they are to you because they know how you feel about them anyway.Then all of a sudden,they are no longer there to do the things that only grandparents can do,and you find yourself wishing that you had told them what they meant to you as people and not just as grandparents.21.What is the position of grandparents in the family according to the writer?A.They are the most important people among family members.B.They are the least important people among family members.C.They are the ones at whom their children or grandchildren usually laugh.D.They are the ones whom their children or grandchildren respect most.22.Grandparents usually do many things except.A.buy their grandchildren thingsB.look after their grandchildrenC.let their grandchildren do things they can't do at home.D.tell their grandchildren how dear they are to home.23.Why don't children need to pay back the loan from their grandparents?A.Their grandparents will forget the loan.B.Their grandparents pay back the loan for them.C.Their grandparents die before they have enough money to pay it back.D.Their grandparents turn the loan into a gift.24.Children never tell their grandparents how dear they are to them because.A.they don't like their grandparents.B.they take for granted everything their grandparents do for them.C.their grandparents know how they feelD.they do not respect their grandparents25.How do children feel after their grandparents die?A.They regret they didn't express their true feelings to them.B.They feel sorry that grandparents are the least valued in the family.C.They miss them very much because no one does the things that grandparents do.D.They wish they had visited and called them more often.Passage2Many American colleges permit foreign students to live in college housing or housing not owned by the university,such as an apartment.College housing is usually in a dormitory,or dorm for short.Many foreign students say that the dorms are less costly than apartments.They say dorms offer quiet study areas and areas for social activities or sports.They say dorms are close to places they go every day,like the library,computer center and classrooms.They also say that living in the room provides the best chance to get to know other students.Dormitories may have as few as twelve students or as many as one thousand.Some dorms are organized into areas called suites.Suites have several bedrooms,a large living area and a bathroom.Six or more people may live in one suite.Other dorms have many rooms along a hallway.Two students usually live in each room.On each floor there is a large bathroom for all the students who live on that floor.Sometimes there is also a kitchen for preparing food.In most universities,males and females live in the same dorm.They may even live on the same floor.But they usually may not live in the same room or suite.Most universities have some dorms for men and women.26.Where do some foreign students in American colleges prefer to live?A.In a hotelB.In a houseC.In an apartmentD.In a friend's home27.What may be the reason for a foreign student to choose to live in a dorm?A.It is cheaperB.It has a big living roomC.It is cleanerD.It is owned by the university28.How many students can a dorm hold at most according to the passage?A.TwoB.sixC.TwelveD.A thousand29.One of the advantages of living in a dorm is that.A.it is easier for the students to get in touch with other studentsB.the students can go to school library every dayC.the students can use personal computers freelyD.more than two students may live in one room30.Which of following statement is TURE according to the passage?A.All the students in a dorm share one large bathroomB.Students are not allowed to cook in the dormC.Female students and male students cannot live in the same dormD.Living in the dorm is helpful to develop your relation with othersPassage3Cars are an important part of life in th United States.Without a car,most people feel that they are poor.An even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers.He probably didn't know how much the car was going to affect American culture.The car made the Unite States a nation on wheels.And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States.First of all,the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it.The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation.With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation.Long-distance have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world.Nowadays,there is a good system of air-service provided by planes.But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one,though.The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular.Americans don't like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane.They don't like to have to follow an exact schedule.A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time.And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans.But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation.The real solution will have to be a new kind of car,one that does not use so much gas.31,When do most Americans feel they are poor?A.When they don't have a carB.When they live in a huge countryC.When they don't planes.D.When they have a car32.Why do cars become popular in the United States?A.The United States is huge.B.Public transportation is not so good.C.Americans like to be independentD.Americans like to move around33.What public transportation is good in the United States?A.BusesB.TrainsC.TaxisD.Planes34.What has caused a big problem for Americans?A.A new kind of carB.Public transportationC.The gas shortageD.Poor people35.Which of the following is NOT mentioned according to this passage?A.Cars have made the nation on wheels.B.Cars have made the United States have a gas shortgeC.Nearly80%of the American people have cars.D.Cars have made American independent.Passage4There is a difference between science and technology.Science is a method of answeringtheoretical questions;technology is a method of solving practical problem.Science has to do with the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships;technology has to do with tools,techniques,and procedures for implementing the finding of science.Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each.Progress in science excludes the human factor.Scientists,who seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth with the highest degree of accuracy and certainty,cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things.What scientists discover may shock or anger people-as did Darwin's theory of evolution.But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful;besides,we have the choice of refusing to believe it!But it's hardly so with technology and we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying overhead;we do not have the choice of refusing to breathe polluted air;and we do not have the choice of living in a non-atomic age.Unlike science progress,technology must be measured in terms of the human factor.The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve people in general,not merely some people;and future generantions,not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves.Technology must be humanistic if it is to lead to a better world.36.Which of the following statements about science is NOT true?A.Scinece provides answers to theoretical questions.B.Scinece seeks to comprehend the universe.C.Scinece aims to discover the inter-connections of facts and rules that explain them.D.Scinece serves people in general and can be measured in terms of the human factor.37.Which of the followig statements about technology is NOT true?A.Technology provides answer to practical problems.B.Technology seeks to establish theories based on facts.C.Technology helps change the material world.D.Technology has to do with new desings and ways of making the we use in our daily life.38.According to the author,scientific theories.A.must be strictly objective.ually pay attention to peopleC.should conform to popular opinions.D.always convince everyone39.The author states that technology itself.A.is responsible for pollution and resource exhaustionB.should serve those who wish to gain advantage for themselvesC.will lead to a better world if put to wise useD.will inevitably be for bad motivation40.The tone of the author in this passage

Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four choices givenand mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets onyour machine-scored Answer SheetPassage OneLike many writers, I’ve been kicking around an idea for a novel for years. I wrote part of my tale during a less busy time inmy life years ago. But I couldn’t build momentum, I’d write a bit, then abandon the project for months.This is a problem many people face, I learned while writing about workday schedules for my recent book. We have grand ideas for where to take our careers someday, but immediate deadlines or meetings or aggressive coworkers always seem to take precedence on Monday morning. Internal motivation is powerful, but it’s easier to say no to oursel ves rather than the rest of the world.So what do successful people do? They create external motivations for things they want to do but that life has a way of crowding out. They create accountability systems that boost important but not urgent items to the top of their priority lists -- ideally in a way that makes failure really uncomfortable.Nika Stewart, for instance, owns a social media marketing business. She’s also part of an accountability group called the 7-Figure Club. Every Monday, each entrepreneur checks in online to determine the amount of a week’s work that will advance her toward her annual goals. Thenon Friday, everyone checks hack in to say whether she met her goal. If Stewart’s weekly goal, shared with the group on Monday, was to send out 10 proposals, she tells me, Thursday night, if I didn’t do it, I might stay up and do it.” Why? She doesn’t want to look l azy to people whose opinion she cares about.I knew I needed an accountability system for myself, or my novel would never get written. Late last year, I found my partner Katheri ne Reynolds Lewis. I’m almost embarrassed to say how effective this little shift in approach was. Being accountable to Katherine made me want to write 2,000 words, just so I couldemail her saying I’d written them. There weren’t any real consequences to failing, but the part of my brain that learned to turn in papers on time in school years ago leapt to attention once it had an assignment.“Wri te 2,000 words” got a spot on my to-do list. In 10 weeks, I had enough words (20,000) to have a sense of how I intended to shape the second half of the book. By April 15, I had my draft.51.In Paragraph 1, “build momentum” refers toA. find enough time for writingB. form a good habit of writingC. keep on writing my novelD. decide on the plot of my novel52.What is the problem mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. Lack of internal motivation.B. Limited time and energy.C. Competition among coworkers.D. Over-demanding job responsibility.53.The accountability system can help people________.A. create an internal motivation to do important thingsB. accomplish what they have promised to doC. determine what are the important things to doD. succeed in doing t hings they don’t want to do54.Nika Stewart makes sure that she meets her goals ________.A. by winning friends’ suppo rtB. by staying up each dayC. through effective communicationD. through group pressure55.What can we say about the effect of the accountability system on the author?A. Very disappointing.B. Hard to say for now.C. Kind of promising.D. Quite successful.56.What is the main idea of the passage?A. How does the accountability system work?B. Who is going to join the accountability system?C. When is the accountability system most effective?D. Why are people interested in the accountability system?Passage TwoThe tomatoes your great-grandparents ate probably tasted little like the ones you eat today. In fact, tomatoes “were once so flavorful that you could take one in your hand and eat it straight away just like we regularly eat apples or peaches,” according to plant scientist Alan Bennett. He belongs to a team of international scientists who now think they know one reason why the fruit has lost so much flavor.Although some unripe tomatoes have a dark green patch near the stem, farmers prefer that their unripe tomatoes are the same shade of green all over. The consistent coloring makes it easier for them to know when the fruit should be picked.But tomatoes without the dark green patch are also missing an important genetic ingredient that helps the fruit make more sugar and other tasty molecules. So by breeding tomatoes for that consistent color, Bennett’ s team says, crop scientists may have accidentally contributed to also making this fruit bland.” It is a good illustration of unintended consequences,” Harry Klee told Science News.Tomatoes make sugars in compartments called chloroplasts (叶绿体). Bennett and his colleagues found that tomatoes needthe correct version of a gene (one called S1GLK2) to form chloroplasts properly in the fruit. A gene acts as a biological instruction book that tells cells which molecules to make.Tomatoes without the dark green patch have the wrong version of this gene, the researchers report in Science. As these fruits ripen, they can’t make as many chloroplasts. And chloroplasts that they do produce are smaller. One result: The tomatoes make less sugar -- and don’t taste as good.Tomatoes also produce gases responsible for some of the odors we associate with the fruit. Even though you only breathe them, these gases affect the way that you perceive flavor. Tomatoes with weak chloroplasts can’t make as much of these gases, further reducing flavor.But the newfound gene change is “not the whole story of why modern tomatoes a re so bad, by a long shot,” Klee told Science News. Tomatoes are also blander when they are picked too early or stored in the fridge.57.Which of the following results from the help of crop scientists?A. Tomatoes with various colors.B. Improved color and taste of tomatoes.C Increased output of tomatoes.D. Tomatoes with a consistent green color.58.The word “bland” (Para. 3) probably means ________.A. less nutritiousB. less tastefulC. more colorfulD. more productive59.What does Harry Klee think of the work of crop scientists?A. It is a mixed blessing.B. It is beneficial to farming.C. It is hard to evaluate.D. It does more good than harm.60.What can be learned about chloroplasts?A. The more the chloroplasts, the sweeter the tomatoes.B. The smaller the chloroplasts, the better odor tomatoes have.C. Chloroplasts help form the correct version of S1GLK2.D. Chloroplasts mainly affect tomatoes’ color, not their flavor61.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for tomatoes’ flavor today?A. The change of tomatoes’ gene.B. The time tomatoes are picked.C. The soil where tomatoes are planted.D. The storage temperature.62.The passage is mainly written to ________.A. introduce the modem way of breeding tomatoesB. compare tomatoes today and those in the pastC. describe how the tomato technology has evolvedD. explain why tomatoes today have lost much flavorPassage ThreeRecently, I was struck by Eric Holder’s comment on the George Zimmerman versus Trayvon Martin case in Florida. Talking about his son and the fears of African-American fathers for their teenage sons, Holder said: “I am his father and it is my responsibility, not to burden him with the baggage of eras long gone, but to make him aware of the world he must still confront. This is a sad reality in a nation that is changing for the better in so many ways.”I also agree with the commentary of Lawrence Bobo:“The most essential facts of this ease will never change. A teenager went out to buy iced tea. At some point, he was confronted by a man with a gun who killed him. There is no universe I understand where this can be declared a noncriminal act. Not in a sound, just and racism-free universe.”What happened was a crime and the released shooter, Zimmerman, is no role model for anyone. He was aggressively stupid.But for me, the mentally-retarded killer is not the issue. I think this story is about guns and television. Florida is a swampy place and so are its laws. It is absurd to permit a civilian like Zimmerman to legally go around with a concealed weapon, following or pursuing anyone he decides or imagines is a danger to his community. Circumstances like that are the reason we have laws, courts and police.And television, I know a bit about television in courtrooms, which I thought was a bad idea from the start. In 1978, I wrote about what I believe was the first televised trial--in Miami. The defendant was a kid named Ronny Zamora, who killed an 83-year-old neighbor in an unskilled burglary in her home. He was sentenced to life imprisonment.The Zamora case, like the Zimmerman case, was a big story, not because it was an unusual trial, but because of cameras in the courtroom. The television press could not ignore it. The video feed was a real reality show. It was irresistible and dangerous television wallpaper, guaranteed to fan the ever-withering racial coals of the nation.Back to guns. My father was for gun control because, as he told me many times, in disputes that escalate into violence,someone inevitably reaches for the deadliest weapon available. If there’s a gun and someon e uses it, death is likely.He was right, then and now.63.According to Paragraph One, Eric Holder is probably ________.A. reluctant to face the real worldB. disappointed with some social realitiesC. indifferent to racial discriminationD. confident about the future of this country/doc/e010346363.html,wrence Bobo’s comment reveals his ________.A. sympathy for ZimmermanB. tolerance of street violenceC. intense anger at the verdictD. doubt about the evidence65.In Paragraph Five, the author is ________.A. criticizing local laws in FloridaB. praising Florida for its legislationC. arguing for death penalty in FloridaD. defending the killer Zimmerman66.Television is blamed for its _______.A. distorted presentation of court trialsB. constant exaggeration of the crime rateC. prejudice against the colored peopleD. negative effect on racial issues67.The author agrees with his father in that _______.A. guns have nothing to do with crimeB. guns can effectively prevent crimeC. guns can serve as deadly weaponsD. guns should not be controlled68.Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?A. A Big Tragedy and a Big Story: Race, Guns and TelevisionB. Gun Control: Both a Blessing and a CurseC. What Is To Be Done to Prevent Illegal ShootingD. The Role of Television in Fair TrialsPassage FourForecasting the weather requires huge quantities of data, mainly collected by high-tech means such as satellites and radar, but low-tech tools are important too--especially old-fashioned rain gauges(雨量器).Each technique has its strengths and weaknesses. Radar and satellites can cover swathes of land, yet they lack detail. Gauges are much more accurate, but the price of that accuracy is spotty coverage. Now, though, Aart Overeem of the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute and his colleagues reckon they have come up with another way to watch the rain carefully. It offers, they believe, both broad coverage and fine detail. Best of all, it relies on something that is already almost everywhere—the mobile-phone network.Their scheme starts from the observation that rain can make it harder for certain sorts of electromagnetic radiation to travel through the atmosphere. Measure this resistance and you can measure how rainy it is. The researchers do not measure the strength of mobile-phone signals themselves. Instead, they rely on something that mobile networks already do, and measure the strength of the microwave links that base stations use to talk to each other.The idea itself is not new, and there have been trials in recent years. Like all the best science, the idea is both technically elegantand practically useful, since it allows better cross-checking of existing methods. There are other advantages. Coverage is one. Even in rich countries with well-financed weather forecasters, there are probably far more mobile-phone base stations than rain gauges. That is truer still in poor countries, where rain gauges are scarce and radar often nonexistent, but mobile phones common. Another boon is that network operators tend to keep a close eye on their microwave links. Although the researchers were able to obtain data only every 15 minutes, some firms sample their networks once a minute. That means rainfall could, in principle, be measured almost in real time, something that neither gauges nor radar nor satellitesThe technology is not perfect; snow and hail are harder than rain for microwaves to spot, for example. Besides, mobile networks are densest in urban areas, which are also the places that probably have weather-forecasting equipment already. Even in the rich, urbanized Netherlands, coverage outside cities is noticeably irregular.69.Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ________.A. how to use the mobile-phone network to measure rainfallB. the equipment for measuring rainfall with the mobile-phone networkC. the limits of using the mobile-phone network to measure rainfallD. the efficiency of measuring rainfall with the mobile-phone network70.What is true about the idea of using the mobile-phone network to measure rain?A. It is completely new.B. It is a bit impractical.C. It is worth a try.D. It is easier said than done.71.What does the word “boon” (Paragraph 4) probably mean?A. A problem.B. A flaw.C.A theory.D. A benefit.72.The mobile-phone network has advantages over both satellites and gauges because ________.A. it is easy to useB. it offers real-time measurementC. it is less expensiveD. it is more accurate73.One of the problems with this new technology is that ________.A. mobile phones are rarely used in rural areasB. weather forecasts are not easy in big citiesC. some areas can’t be adequately coveredD. this technology can hardly be used in poor countries74.The purpose of writing the passage is to ________.A. introduce a new way of forecasting the weatherB. compare the existing ways of forecasting the weatherC. point out the need for improvement in weather forecastD. analyze the technological development in weather forecastOh no, not Anthony Weiner again.The older generation never gets it. Anthony Weiner, a candidate for mayor of New York, admitted this week to having sent more snaps of himself to a digital acquaintance. As anyyoungster could have told him, the way to find love is to send photos of your face.Consider Will, a 24-year-old future film director in California. He meets potential dates via a smartphone app called Tinder. It finds potential matches who are nearby—your phone always knows where you are—and shows him photos from their Facebook profiles. Will can like or reject each photo. If a woman he likes also likes him, both are alerted and can start chatting.Tinder is quick (you can look through dozens of photos in minutes) and spares your blushes (you never know if someone rejects you). Will has already had three romantic encounters and hundreds of matches, he says. Justin Mateen, a cofounder of Tinder, says it has made 100m matches since its launch in September, and led to 50 marriage p roposals. He adds: “The app has only really been going for nine months. There could be a baby popping out soon.”Americans are dating longer, which creates opportunities for matchmakers. Some are quite direct.Bang with Friends (BWF), another app, allows users to specify which of their Facebook friends they would like to spend the night with. If both parties feel the same way, BWF notifies them. If not, no one is any wiser. BWF was booted from Apple’s app store, but that hasn’t stopped it from creating 200,000 pairings since its January launch. BW F’s boss admit s he came up with the concept while “a bit drunk”.Such apps make it easier to find potential partners, but do n’t seem to have turned America into a nation of bed-hoppers. Young women claim to have had an average of 3.6 male intimate friends while young men 6.1 female ones. These figures may be inaccurate—men may exaggerate; women may undercount—butthey have not changed much in years.Parents worry that staring at screens all day has made youngsters socially awkward face-to-face.

Passage 3
Cars are an important part of life in th United States.Without a car, most people feel that they are poor.An even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he has a car.
Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers.He probably didn't know how much the car was going to affect American culture.The car made the Unite States a nation on wheels.And it helped make the United States what it is today.
There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States.First of all,the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it.The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation.With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.
The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation.Long-distance have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world.Nowadays,there is a good system of air-service provided by planes.But it is too expensive to be used frequently.
The third reason is the most important one,though.The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular.Americans don't like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane.They don't like to have to follow an exact schedule.A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time.And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.

My Attitude toward Private Cars
Nowadays, private cars can be seen everywhere in China as the life standard has been increasingly improved along with the economy. Several reasons are responsible for this. Owing a private car has many advantages. The greatest advantage of all is that the car gives its owners more convenience and saves them a lot of time, enables them to go where they please. People can cover long distances by car rapidly and comfortably.
However, too many private cars have caused a lot of social problems as well. The worst of all the disadvantages is the heavy traffic we face everyday. We may wait hours a day wasting our lives to struggle a way to work.
It is essential that effective measures should be taken to reduce the heavy traffic. Firstly, we should try bicycle as much as possible since it is a good way to keep fit. Then, we can share one with neighbors or relatives as much as possible when going to work or picking up children, which can also save us a lot money and time.。
