The wonderful fighting abilities and the world-saving adventures are much more colourful than most people's everyday lives. Well, Cody Banks is just like any other boy, except that he is not just dreaming. He has a big secret his friends never know about. He was trained to be a spy(间谍) by a special CIA programme, which was made to look like a summer camp. He learned high-speed driving, hand-to-hand fighting and the use of high-tech tools.After proving he could become a young hero by saving a baby from a runaway car, Banks gets his first real task. He must make friends with a popular girl at school, Natalie Connors. Then, he must spy on her father, a scientist who has developed a dangerous technology(技术). Banks must stop a group of bad people from forcing Natalie's father into using the technology to endanger the world.The CIA may have taught him first ­class self ­defence moves, but they didn't show him how to talk to girls. Banks has zero ability when it comes to dealing with girls. How can he get around his problem and get an invitation to the girl's upcoming birthday party? Will he finally become Natalie's boyfriend and find out whatever he can about her father's work?Agent Cody Banks has everything that young people are interested in: big explosions, breathtaking performances and funny girl-dating experiences.

Making known the work of the CIA.B. Telling the story about a cool boy.C. Showing the dark side of science.D. Introducing a new film.[2014·福建卷]BWalt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. However, he cannot take the credit for creating other well-loved characters, such as Cinderella and Snow White. They are almost automatically associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables(寓言) into cartoon movies.The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today. It started off with the girl mourning her mother's death and going to her tomb three times a day. In addition, there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice, nor was there mention of a horse and carriage.The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderella's food into the ashes of the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence(因此) her name.In the original story, the king's ball actually lasted for three days. With the help of the birds, the girl, beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her. However, she broke away from him to rush back home each night. On the last night, the prince placed something sticky on the stairs; as Cinderella made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it.Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fitted the shoe, the wicked(邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe. The daughter did as told. So the prince took her away to be his bride. But, when they passed the tomb of Cinderella's mother, the birds called out to the prince ，“Turn and peep, there 's blood w ithin the shoe ； The shoe is too small, the true bride w aits for you .”Realizing he had been tricked, the prince returned the daughter to her mother; the other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with the same result. Only Cinderella's foot fitted perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her. The story ends with the wedding day: as Cinderella's two stepsisters followed her, pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king's riches, two birds flew by and plucked(啄) out their eyes. Because of their wickedness and falsehood, they had to spend the rest of their days blind.The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version. Thank goodness Disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.60．What does the underlined word “They ” in the first paragraph refer to? A ．Such wonderful things. B ．Other well ­loved characters. C ．Old fables. D ．Cartoon movies. 61．How did Cinderella get her name?A ．The birds came up with it.B ．It was given by Disney.C ．It came from the word “ash ”．D ．She got it from her mother.13级1班大周测试第3页，共4页13级1班大周测试第4页，共4页○…………密…………封…………线…………内…………不…………要…………答…………题…………○A．Helpful mice got Cinderella a beautiful dress.B．The ball was held to celebrate the prince's wedding.C．Cinderella left her shoe on the stairs on purpose.D．The birds told the prince that he had been cheated.63．The moral of the original story is that ________．A．a wicked person cannot escape punishment B．a devoted person certainly deserves respect C．a well­behaved child earns a great reward D．a dishonest child cannot get mother love 64．What does the author think of the Disney version?A．Excellent. B．Ordinary. C．Dull. D．Ridiculous.[2014·江西卷]CLarry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险) but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.Larry first began diving when he was his daughter's age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.After the first expedition, Larry's later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.Larry's first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands.There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them.Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry_did_not_even_know_what_the_time_was,_how_many_spots_he_dived_into_or_how_many_ph otographs_he_had_taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.Larry looked at his daughter.She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age.He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.Already, she looked like she was much braver than Larry had been then.This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.56. In what way was this expedition different for Larry?A. His daughter had grown up.B. He had become a famous diver.C. His father would dive with him.D. His daughter would dive with him.57. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Larry had some privileges.B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.C. Divers had to buy diving equipment.D. Ten­year­old children were permitted to dive.58. Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?A. To protect himself from danger.B. To dive into the deep water.C. To admire the underwater view.D. To take photo more conveniently.59. What can be learned from the underlined sentence?A. Larry didn't wear a watch.B. Larry was not good at maths.C. Larry had a poor memory.D. Larry enjoyed the adventure.60. What did Larry expect his daughter to do?A. Become a successful diver.B. Make a good diving guide.C. Take a lot of photos underwater.D. Have longer hours of training.[2014·重庆卷]AI was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labelled(贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed！” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬) under her covers, sobbing.Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden ，a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books，made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me，“Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.36. What made Kate so angry one evening?A. She couldn't find her books.B. She heard the author shouting loud.C. She got the news that her grandma was ill.D. She saw the author's shoes beneath her bed.37.

According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ________． A. the social movement B. recycling techniquesC. environmental problemsD. the importance of Earth Day26.

AThe first time I hiked to the bottom of Grand Canyon National Park, I knew I wanted to be a park ranger（管理员）. Now, as one of the park rangers of the National Park Service, I will show you what park rangers do.Interpretive park rangers teach people about what makes each national park special and what we can do to take care of it. We lead hikers, teach school field trips, and work at visitor centers. Protective park rangers make sure visitors follow the rules while exploring the parks. They complete special law enforcement（强制）training to do their jobs. They may also rescue sick visitors, and provide medical care. They all have already had special training. Rangers who work in smaller parks might do many of these jobs at once.Park rangers wear a uniform. The flat hat protects us from the hot sun, and hiking boots allow us to walk rocky trails. The National Park Service symbol on the sleeve of our uniform shirt helps visitors recognize us so they can ask for assistance.Being a park ranger requires a lot of energy. We walk several miles and talk with hundreds of people each day. Nearly 5 million people visit Grand Canyon National Park every year; interpretive park rangers must enjoy working with people and speaking in front of groups. Rangers must also be prepared for any situation. Recently, I broke up a traffic jam caused by a huge male elk（麋鹿）standing in the road. Elk can become dangerous when they get scared, so I asked visitors to park their cars and take pictures from a distance. Believe it or not, I also help protect people from squirrels（松鼠）. It is prohibited to feed, approach or scare wild animals in national parks.Park ranger jobs are very competitive, so having special training is required. Many park rangers start as volunteers or seasonal employees and work their way up to permanent jobs. We often work at many parks during our careers.21. If a hiker feels sick in the national park, he will get medical treatment from _______.A. other visitorsB. park managersC. interpretive park rangersD. protective park rangers22. According to the passage, visitors in national parks can ________.A. give food to hungry animalsB. get close to animalsC. take pictures of animalsD. fright animals away23. What does this text mainly talk about?A. People like to explore the national park.B. Fun facts about the national park.C. What tourists should do in national parks.D. What it’s like to be a national park ranger.BThere is a reason we are told to cover our noses when a sneeze is coming - to prevent the spread of germs that carry air-borne diseases. Scientists have known of germs that travel even longer distances than just what our sneezes can carry, sometimes carried in the air by winds.Have you noticed droplets（飞沫）that form when you cough or sneeze? But very rarely do we notice the invisible cloud of gas that forms to carry the infectious（传染的）droplets over greater distances, and sometimes adding five to 200 times the normal distances! In the past researchers at MIT （Massachusetts Institute of Technology）have assumed that larger droplets fly farther than smaller ones because they have more momentum（动力）due to their speed. It turns out that the track of each droplet is totally unconnected to those around it. The interaction of the droplets makes gas clouds.The distance that the germs travel is also a function of the air conditions. Scientists are now starting to focus on how liquid blew out with a sneeze and cough, to better understand epidemic（流行的）diseases that could occur in populations.This knowledge certainly calls for changing the air frequently to reduce the change of air-borne germs being transmitted among people in closed atmospheres in places such as hospitals, closed offices, inside an aircraft and even classrooms!24. Why do we need to cover our cough or sneeze?A. To reduce noise.B. To avoid spreading germs.C. Because we are told to do so.D. Because we are polite.25. From paragraph 2, we can know ________.A. what causes cough or sneezeB. how gas clouds formC. smaller droplets travel fasterD. droplets are tightly linked26. Now the scientists start to know the spread of epidemic diseases by studying the ________.A. spread of dropletsB. movement of peopleC. kinds of diseasesD. functions of germs27. We can learn from the last paragraph that the air in classrooms should be often ________.A. circulatedB. driedC. testedD. dampedCIs the way to a dog’s heart through its stomach? No one believes this more than Kris Rotonda and Denise Fernandez. The couple built the Doggy Cooking Network and founded an online dating website named YouMustLoveDogsDating so that dog-loving singles can connect with potential mates.Their Doggy Cooking Network on a video website called YouTube taps is close to the popularity of cooking shows like “The Pioneer Woman” and “Barefoot Contessa” to show pet owners how to cook fresh, homemade food for their dogs. “The idea is simple. Food brings families together,” Fernandez said. “Only the owners who are really dedicated to their dogs are willing to cook for them.”The U. S. Food and Drug Administration has received reports that dog and cat food made abroad have killed 1,000 dogs and sickened more than 4, 800 pets since 2007. Worried pet owners can find easy home-made recipes in Rotonda and Fernandez’s cooking shows. In their videos, they use simple food materials like chicken, rice and eggs. They make everything from frozen yogurt bars and sweet bean rice to birthday cake. Fernandez and Rotonda are not professional chefs. But they display quick and easy ways to please a pet’s palates（味觉）after testing the dishes on their four dogs. This is important for viewers as they learn a lot to save time and money of pet care. Viewers of Doggy Cooking Network cook the food for their dogs and show off their finished dishes during the four-minute cooking segments（片段）. They started their own shows about three months ago. Shows are being posted once a week on YouTube, but they hope to expand soon.28. Kris Rotonda and Denise Fernandez founded Doggy Cooking Network to ________.A. make dog owners be friendsB. make themselves famousC. show ways to cook for dogsD. earn some extra money29. According to Fernandez, who is willing to cook for dogs?A. Delighted owners.B. Devoted owners.C. Depressed owners.D. Responsible owners.30. It is meaningful to cook for dogs in easy and quick ways because it can _________.A. please p ets’ palatesB. see what dogs like to eatC. reduce time spent on dogsD. cook fresh food for dogs31. What’s the best title of this passage?A. Would You Cook a Meal for Your DogB. Let’s Upload Cooking Videos on WebC. Dog Food Products Are No Longer SafeD. Pet Owners Meet With Each OtherDEach year about 8. 8 million tons of plastic ends up in the world oceans, according to a new study. It tracked marine debris（海洋废弃物）from its source. That’s the equal amount of five grocery bags full of plastic wastes dropped into the oceans from each foot of coastline around the world, so people should stop or reduce dumping wastes into the oceans. So says the study’s lead author, Jenna Jambeck, an environment engineering professor at the University of Georgia.At the current rate, Jambeck projects, by 2025, the total accumulated plastic wastes in the oceans will reach around 170 million tons based on population trends and continued waste management handling problems. “We need to wake up and see our waste, and we shouldn’t do that without any control,” Jambeck said.While a certain developing country is responsible for 2. 4 million tons of plastic wastes that makes their way into the ocean, nearly 28 percent of the world total, the United States contributes just 77,000 tons, which is less than 1 percent, according to the study published Thursday in a scientific journal. This is mostly because developed countries have systems to collect plastic wastes, Jambeck said.The amount of plastics estimated to be going into the water is equal to how much tuna（金枪鱼）is fished per year. So “we are taking out tuna and putting in plasti c,” said the study coauthor, Kara Lavendar Law.Jambeck used World Bank statistics on 192 countries’ waste streams to track and estimate plastic pollution from the source.

He was busy blowing balloons and settin g the table and doing the housework.While looking over our album, friends always ask, “What does y our father look like?” God knows. He photos others all the time. So there are many and many photos of my mum and me, pretty and lovely photos.And I still remembered the day when dad taught me riding. I as ked him not to let his hands away, but he did the opposite. And I certainly fell onto the ground. I got angry and decided to get o n the bike and rode.

He, except checks, did write a letter, but extremely short, just a few words, saying, “Without your playing on the lawn, my son, my lawn gro ws prettier than before.”Every time I phoned, it seemed he wanted to talk, but he would say, “I will get your mum.”On the day of my wedding, mum cried as if we would never me et again, while dad went out with a nasal sound.From very young, I heard him saying, “Where have you been?”“When do you go home?”“Did you get oil for your car?”“No, I d on’t agree.” Dad really knows nothing about showing love.

To answer this question, ask yoursel f what your reasons are for thinking of getting a piece of art. An artwork can cost a large amount of money, but if it meets your n eeds, it’s worth every penny.People buy art for many reasons.

Time could be told more accurat elyby setting up a stick and making the positions of the suns shad ow.It was the ancient Greeks who divided each position of this “sun dial(日晷)” into hours.But the sun doesn’t always shine so. For the past 6000 years,m any other ways of keeping time have been tried. Slow-burning candleswere divided into hours, and the hourglass was invented. When all thesand in the top of an hourglass has shifted to the bottom, an hour haspassed.Later, the pendulum(钟摆 ), with its regular back-and-forth movement of weights, was used to move the hands on a cl ock pendulums arestill used in grandfather clocks.Today, even more accurate clocks are in use, such as battery-operatedquartz clocks, digital clocks and clocks run by electrica l turning forksand tiny atoms. These atomic clocks are the most accurate clocksever invented. The exact time can be kept to within one second acentury.9. The word “exact” means __________.A. slowB. accurateC. fastD. of poor quality10. Humans in the old days used __________ to tell day from ni ght.A. the rising and setting of the sunB. battery-operated quartz clocksC. atomic clocksD. digital clocks11.

He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there ，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband ’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can （垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way. 【小题1】.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney? A. Go shopping B. Find a house C. Join his family D. Take his family 【小题2】.The girl ’s parents got Rashid ’s phone number from_______.A. a friend of his familyB. a Sydney policemanC. a letter in his papersD. a stranger in Sydney 【小题3】.What does the underlined word “restored ” in the last paragraph mean?

Living in a New Country.【2014·湖南卷】BIn the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment In Mrs. Totten’s eighth -grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class ，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.When Mrs. Totten reached my desk ，she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. “I…I didn’t get anything ,” I answered ，and my face felt warm. “Correct,” she said.It turned out that the correct answer was zero.What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn ’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third ，I would never make it as a mathematician. If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one. 【小题1】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate? A.It is wise to value one’s time. B.It is important to make an effort C.It is right to stick to one’s belief. D.It is enough to do the necessary. 【小题2】Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to _______. A. recite their homework together B.grade their homework themselvesC.answer their homework questions orallyD.check the answers to their homework questions 【小题3】The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always _______. A.asked questions in a regular way B.walked up and down when asking questionsC.chose two or three questions for the studentsD.requested her students to finish their usual questions 【小题4】The author failed to get the questions he had expected because _______. A.the class didn’t begin as usual B.several students didn’t come to schoolC.he didn’t try hard to make his estimateD.Mrs. T otten didn’t start from the back of the class 【小题5】 Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?13级1班大周测试第3页，共4页13级1班大周测试第4页，共4页…………○…………密…………封…………线…………内…………不…………要…………答…………题…………○【2014·福建卷】CIt was Mother’s Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “ My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile. 【小题1】. What dose the author intend to tell us?A. One can never be too careful.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. Love begins with a little smile.D. A small act of kindness brings a great joy.【小题2】. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.B. Tenyson’s idea of buying a flower gained his father’s support.C. Tenyson’s care for the elderly woman puzzled the flower seller.D. The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson’s gesture.【小题3】. The underlined word “intimidated” in the fourth paragraph probably means “_________”.A. astonishedB. struckC. frightenedD. excited【小题4】. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Flower PowerB. Mother’s DayC. An Accidental InjuryD. An Embarrassing Moment【2014·重庆卷】DOne moment it was quiet and calm in the forest, the next, the air was charged with tension. The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed. I urged the elephant deeper into the forest. We sounded like a forest fire --- cracking, snapping, trailblazing. But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry. The elephant stopped and we heard it again --- the tell-tale call of a spotted deer.I looked quickly around the shadows of the forest. Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches, beneath which the patchwork（交错）of green plants and shadows-within-shadows would make tiger stripes（条纹）look more attractive. Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant’s stomach, the forest was silent.Gradually, the tension slipped from our bodies. The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into its mouth. I reached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant’s neck; there was a soft part, free of wrinkles and hairs, behind her ear.This was my fourth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett, although I saw no tigers in the end. Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains, Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers, but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts（出没处）, a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity. Still, I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear. If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger, I could have gone to a zoo. After all, spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty; tracking them can make you aware of something more.【小题1】. Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm?A. The elephant stopped.B. A spotted deer called.C. The elephant seized a branch.D. The forest was silent for a while.【小题2】. The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly by _______.A. describing various soundsB. comparing different animalsC. listing different activitiesD. introducing various plants【小题3】. What does the underlined part “to sense the aura” most probably mean?A. To see the diversity.B. To enjoy the scenery.C. To feel the atmosphere.D. To experience the freedom.【小题4】. How does the author feel after several visits to Corbett?A. Seeing a Bengal tiger is quite thrilling.B. It is very time-consuming to travel in Corbett.C. It is really worthwhile to study the animals in Corbett.D. The process of finding Bengal tigers is most appealing.第二节：七选五（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。
